Xiao Shenyan, Xiao Mo's fourth grandfather, is the only scholar who has been famous in the Xiao family for nearly a hundred years, several generations, and has served as a county lord before, is a high-level official, according to the words of Xiao Mo's grandmother Liu, he is a person who has seen the world and has great skills. (This book is reprinted in 1 Literature Network.6.) [Bubble!] Book!! Surpass! Speed! Head! ]

Because of this, Xiao Shenyan was not as full of awe for Xiao Mo's grandmother Liu as the rest of the Xiao family.

Xiao Shenyan's wife died early, and he never married again, but devoted himself to studying Taoism, because he had no queen, he naturally attached great importance to Xiao Yan, the only seedling of the Xiao family.

Half a year ago, when Xiao Mo was six years old, Xiao Yan resigned and returned to his hometown for unknown reasons, and personally taught Xiao Mo to read and write.

It's just that the previous Xiao Mo grew up in the doting of the whole family, especially his grandmother, since he was a child, and he was loved by thousands of people, and he stretched out his hands to open his mouth, although his temperament has not yet reached the arrogant and domineering Cheng Dù, but he is also extremely lazy, plus his health is not good, and he is even more lazy by nature, so don't expect him to study hard at all.

And although Xiao Shenyan's talent was not very good when he was young, he was extremely diligent in reading and practicing calligraphy, and it was precisely because of this that he gained fame, so he was extremely unaccustomed to Xiao Mo's laziness in reading and practicing calligraphy.

Three days ago, Xiao Shenyan finally taught Xiao Mo the most basic "Hundred Family Names", and assigned homework for Xiao Mo to copy "Hundred Family Names" three times, which was still due to the number of deliberately reduced after taking into account Xiao Mo's body and temperament.

However, two days later, when Xiao Shenyan came to Xiao Mo's study, he saw Xiao Mo sleeping on his desk, and even half of the homework he assigned was not completed.

Thinking of Xiao Mo's lazy actions in the previous half a year, Xiao Shenyan, who hated iron and endured for a year, finally exploded, and performed a stunt that teachers have used throughout the ages - pulling Xiao Mo to the south corner of the house to punish him!!

At that time, although it was early autumn, it was noon, and the sun was shining.

Tong Guò subordinate, this matter was immediately known by Xiao Mo's grandmother Liu, which made Liu can't help but be angry, he has long been unaccustomed to Xiao Shenyan's scolding of Xiao Mo at every turn, and said that her cute grandson who is almost perfect in her heart is useless, and even hit Xiao Mo's palm twice, and now it is even more excessive, and even let Xiao Mo stand under the sun, this is worth it?

So the Liu family didn't say a word, and brought Xiao Mo's three aunts and four mothers-in-law and other relatives and girls to come with a huge demand.

Xiao Shenyan punished Xiao Mo on the spur of the moment, and after making the decision, he regretted it a little, firstly, he felt that Xiao Mo's body could not bear such a toss, and secondly, he also knew that his sister-in-law was extremely difficult to deal with, and after knowing this matter, he was afraid that it would be difficult to please him, but if he was allowed to retract his decision, Xiao Mo would be even more difficult to discipline from now on, and his heart was full of hesitation for a while.

And just as he hesitated, the Liu family had already rushed over with a group of women's army, and after coming to Xiao Shenyan's courtyard, he didn't say a word, and pulled Xiao Mo back to his house, and from beginning to end, he didn't even glance at Xiao Shenyan.

The literati have a good face, if the Liu family came and begged softly, Xiao Shenyan would let Xiao Mo go, but seeing that his sister-in-law didn't take herself in his eyes like this, he was also angry for a while, stopped in front of Xiao Mo and Xiao Mo's grandmother, and asked Xiao Mo to continue to punish him.

All of a sudden, a huge debate tournament began.

Originally, more than half of the Xiao family's wealth was the dowry of Xiao Mo's grandmother Liu, and although the Liu family has been stronger in the past few decades since marrying into the Xiao family, they have always taken care of the children of the Xiao family and kept the Xiao family in good order.

At that time, the status of scholars was extremely high, and Xiao Shenyan was a high-ranking official before, and his status was very different from that of ordinary landlords.

Therefore, on weekdays, the status of the Liu family and Xiao Shenyan in the Xiao family is extremely high, even if there is something unaccustomed to the two of them, they try to maintain restraint.

But this time, things involved Xiao Mo, but it was very different.

Between the debates between the two, no one could convince anyone, and they were both really angry slowly, but the two of them were arguing here vigorously, and they planned to completely convince each other this time.

And convincing an assertive person is not something that can be done overnight.

In this way, as the time passed continuously between the two debates, it was Xiao Mo who was suffering, he was not in good health, and he basked in the scorching sun under the corner for a long time, at this time, the relatives of the family surrounded him in the middle and breathless, and then saw Xiao Shenyan and his grandmother's stern appearance, knowing that it was all because of himself, he was afraid and anxious, and he fainted like this.

After waking up, this Xiao Mo is no longer another Xiao Mo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Big brother......" After Xiao Shenyan entered the house, he nodded to Xiao Shenxing, who was standing behind Liu, and after hesitating slightly, he nodded to Liu's and said, "Sister-in-law, is Mo'er better?" ”

For a while, including Xiao Mo, all eyes were focused on Liu.

"Hmph, you still know how to care about Mo'er, Mo'er's situation at the moment is what you single-handed!!"

For Xiao Shenyan's behavior similar to being soft, Liu didn't appreciate it, and responded after snorting coldly.

A trace of anger flashed in Xiao Shenyan's eyes, as if he wanted to refute, but finally lowered his head and said: "This time, I was too anxious, I just wanted Mo'er to study hard, but I ignored his physical condition, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Seeing that Liu and Xiao Shenyan were secretly fighting for their own affairs, Xiao Mo didn't dare to intervene at all, for fear that his fake would reveal his flaws, so he just pretended to be weak and lay on the bed, listening attentively to everyone's conversations and digesting the news that was useful to him.

Xiao Shenxing, the nominal head of the Xiao family, although his personality is a little cowardly, he is good in his heart, and in a way, he belongs to the ranks of bad people.

Seeing that his younger brother, who had been strong all his life, was so soft in front of his wife, he felt a little unbearable, and looked at Liu, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but thinking of his wife's strength on weekdays, he still didn't dare to say it in the end, a kind sixty-year-old man, at this moment, in the eyes of everyone, there was a kind and pitiful taste, although it shouldn't be, but Xiao Mo still had a feeling of can't help laughing.

Or noticed Xiao Shenxing's eyes, or because Xiao Mo was already sober at this moment, Liu finally hesitated for a moment, knowing that if he continued to accuse, he could only make things stiff, sighed, nodded and said: "Speaking of which, you can't blame the fourth uncle, I was also wrong at that time, I only thought about Mo'er, and I was disrespectful to the fourth uncle at that time, and I ask the fourth uncle for forgiveness." ”

As he spoke, Liu stood up from the head of the bed and bowed to Xiao Shenyan.

Xiao Shenyan didn't expect this sister-in-law to be so talkative at this time, so she couldn't help but wave her hand hurriedly.

"Since Mo'er has come to his senses at this moment, then we should have never given birth to this matter......

Liu didn't pay attention to Xiao Shenyan's surprise, and continued to say slowly, and just when everyone in the room was relieved that the two giants of the Xiao family were no longer arguing, they heard Liu's words suddenly turn around, and then said: "But the fourth uncle was a Xiucai when you were twenty years old, and you were a lifter before you were thirty years old, and then you have been an official for more than 20 years, and your knowledge has become more and more profound. However, Mo'er is still young, let the fourth uncle teach you personally, first, it is useless, and secondly, the fourth uncle, your knowledge is too profound, Mo'er has only been reading and practicing calligraphy for less than half a year, but it is not beautiful, so I think, from now on, the fourth uncle, you will take a break for a while, let me ask Mr. Teach, let him lay a solid foundation for Mo'er first, and then let the fourth uncle teach you personally, what do you think, fourth uncle? ”

With Liu's words, everyone was stunned.

These words are good, but in fact, they took away Xiao Mo's right to education from Xiao Shenyan.

Xiao Shenyan was also stunned, and then a trace of ruddy from anger hit his cheeks, and his long beard trembled, obviously extremely angry.

The reason why Xiao Shenyan resigned and returned to his hometown was half because of his disappointment in the officialdom at that time, and the other half was because he wanted to teach Xiao Mo in person, the only seedling of the Xiao family.

"What do you mean by that?!" Xiao Shenyan pointed at Liu and asked angrily.

Liu was afraid that Xiao Mo would be frightened by Xiao Shenyan, so his footsteps blocked Xiao Mo's eyes, and then said calmly: "That is to say, in the future, the fourth uncle will not have to teach Mo'er to read, and it will save Mo'er from provoking the fourth uncle to make you angry, isn't it great?" ”

Seeing Liu's calm and dignified expression, Xiao Shenyan actually calmed down, stared at Liu's eyes tightly, and asked slowly: "Since you say so, then let me ask you, which teacher do you want to ask to teach Mo'er to read?" ”

Liu said: "Mr. Mo in the south of the city has been teaching for 30 years, with rich experience, and many of the big families in the city have descendants taught by him poetry and books, and he has a good reputation. ”

"Mr. Mo? You mean Mo Zixuan? In order to fight for the right to personally educate Xiao Mo, Xiao Shenyan had no scruples at this time, and laughed angrily: "Is that Mo Zixuan who only has a talent for fame?" That Mo Zixuan, who has taken the exam six times in the past 30 years and has fallen to Sun Mountain every time? ”

"Although Mr. Mo's knowledge is not as good as that of the fourth uncle, he has rich teaching experience and a good reputation in the city......

Liu was just halfway through his words, but was interrupted by Xiao Shenyan: "His knowledge is one thing, what I value more is his 'quite good' reputation, as far as I know, the four sons of the Li family in the north of the city and the third child of the Gongsun family, as well as the children of the Yang family and the Lu family in the west of the city, are all good students taught by this 'Mr. Mo with a good reputation'?" ”

Hearing Xiao Shenyan's words, Liu couldn't help but be stunned, as strong and shrewd as her, she didn't know what to say for a while.

The four sons of the Li family in the north of the city, the third child of the Gongsun family, and several juniors of the Yang family and the Lu family are all well-known evil teenagers here.

If Liu persists a little at this time, Xiao Mo's dream will come true.

However, although the Liu family didn't want Xiao Mo to suffer, they didn't want Xiao Mo to become such a gentleman, so they couldn't help but hesitate, frowned slightly, and wanted to say something just now, but Xiao Shenyan took the lead again: "As for the other so-called teaching gentlemen, you are even more Mo Ti, they are all the same as that Mo Zixuan, because they don't have enough knowledge and can't get fame, so they become Mr. Teacher, let them teach Mo'er, what can Mo'er learn?" What's more, as soon as these teaching gentlemen come to the mansion, they will temporarily form a master-servant relationship with the mansion, in order to keep their jobs, where do they dare to strictly force these young masters to study? will only be submissive, and the students who teach them are not only not as knowledgeable as them, but also have poor conduct, Mo'er has been spoiled by you over the years, and let them teach again, hum......"

Although the Liu family is shrewd and strong, they have always paid little attention to this aspect, and they have nothing to say for a while, but when they heard Xiao Shenyan say bad things about her precious grandson Xiao Mo, they were angry in their hearts and said: "Even if Mo'er can't let them teach, I can't let you teach, Mo'er is my only grandson, I can't let you torture him, Mo'er is already weak, and he can't stand your toss like this, even if he doesn't let Mo'er study, it's better than what you teach, besides, isn't there a suitable gentleman in Changzhi City?" ”

Hearing Liu's words, Xiao Shenyan became even more angry, and said sharply: "Mo'er doesn't study? Don't you know the situation in the court now? If Mo'er is not allowed to study and gain fame, how can he get ahead? Even if you just want him to spend his life safely, he must read and write to gain fame, in Dachu, if the descendants of the family don't even have fame, you can't even keep the family business, have you forgotten the sixty land? ”

As Xiao Shenyan mentioned the words "sixty tilting the ground", everyone in the room changed their faces and their expressions became gloomy.

Hearing this, Xiao Mo, who was lying on the bed, finally heard some news he wanted to know, but his brows began to wrinkle slightly: "Chu Dynasty? Changzhi City? How come I've never heard of it? ”

As for the so-called sixty dumping matter, it is because it is too important to the Xiao family, even if the other Xiao Mo was a seven-year-old child who ignored other things, he knew more or less about it, and according to Xiao Mo's analysis, at this moment, with the words of Liu and Xiao Shenyan, he also guessed eight or nine.
