Chapter 132: Decision
The Xiao family's dinner has always been eaten in Ninghetang, and everyone has to chat for a while after dinner every day before they disperse, and today not only the Xiao family is here, but even Mama Ruan was invited.
This is the rhythm of big things! Xiao Yao's eyes were shining, and she was looking forward to the next conversation.
"Since you're all here, I have something I'd like to ask your opinions." Xiao Jingkang clenched his hand into a fist against his lips and coughed lightly. Seeing that everyone was looking at him and waiting for the following, he didn't sell it, and then said: "Ping'an's grandfather found a famous doctor in Suzhou, who is very skilled in medicine, especially for internal injuries, so he wants to go back to Suzhou with Ping'an, what do you think about this matter." ”
"Can it really cure the sickness of peace?" The Qin family is still more concerned about their granddaughter's condition, although a large part of this concern is due to the fear that the grandson will be punished if her husband knows the truth. But in any case, it is always a good thing if the husband can cure his granddaughter's illness before he knows the truth.
"There's a lot of certainty." No one dares to make a foolproof guarantee, especially in terms of treatment and consultation, no one dares to say too much, and Xiao Jingkang is not a doctor, let alone a guarantee.
"What do you think, Mama Ruan?" Tong Mingyu respects Mama Ruan very much and wants to know her opinion on this matter.
"Ping An is very spiritual in painting, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, and there are countless places of interest and historic sites." Mama Ruan did not directly answer Tong Mingyu's words, but her answer had already expressed her support for Xiao Yao to go to Suzhou.
"I'm also in favor of going to Suzhou safely." Li Jiaoying continued reasonably: "The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and moist, which is very suitable for cultivation, and if you cooperate with the treatment of famous doctors, Ping An will definitely recover as soon as possible." Moreover, what Mama Ruan said is very right, we can't bury the child's talent, and there are Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong along the way, so why don't we worry! ”
"Since everyone has no opinions, let's pack up for Ping An." Xiao Jingkang seemed to have exhausted all his strength to make this determination. Intellectually, he agrees with everyone's opinions, but emotionally, he looked at his daughter's face and suddenly felt that his eyes ached, and his heart was a little empty.
"Why don't you ask my opinion." In ancient times, this was the worst, children had no right to speak, and their own family was already very democratic, and they also let their children participate in discussions. If it's someone else's house, it's good to tell you the result two days in advance.
"Ping An doesn't want to go, does he?" Xiao Jingkang hoped that his daughter could give him the answer he was looking forward to, but what was he looking forward to! If his daughter goes to Suzhou, he is reluctant; If he didn't go to Suzhou, he would feel guilty, and after thinking about it, Xiao Jingkang didn't know what kind of result he wanted.
"I only have one small question." Xiao Yao avoided her father's burning gaze, turned her direction and asked Tong Mingyu: Can I come back before my grandfather returns to Beijing? I promised my grandfather that he would go to the city gate to pick up his old man and his second and fourth uncles, and that he should be honest and honest, and he could not break his promise. ”
"Ping An is right." Xiao Jingkang thinks that this is not bad, at least his daughter will not be gone for a year or two. When the father comes back a few months later, he will be able to see his daughter again, which not only satisfies his daughter's desire to go to Suzhou, but also finds a famous doctor, and the father-in-law can also make an explanation himself, and the most perfect plan is nothing more than this!
"My son is willing to send Ping An to Suzhou." Xiao Yi asked for his life, he has now obtained the fame of Xiucai, just waiting for next year's spring, the top three Xiao Yi dare not have extravagant hopes, but he is still very confident in taking the Jinshi exam, and he has nothing to do recently! Heaven has sent a good opportunity to myself, which cannot be missed, and must not be missed.
"I'm going too, my sister is gone, I think what to do with her." Xiao Jun has started to study now, but no matter how late he gets out of school every day or how much schoolwork he has, he has to go to the distant building to take a turn, even if it is just to say a few words to his sister and take a look, he is content. Suddenly hearing that his sister was going to leave home for a long time, Xiao Jun couldn't accept it at all, and his voice was full of crying, if he was two years younger, he would probably be crying by now.
"I'm going too, you can't separate me from my sister." Xiao Yuan ran to Xiao Yao's side, hugged the person and refused to let go, Jiangnan! Who doesn't want to go, today is a cry, two troubles, three hangings, and they have to go with them. Xiao Yuan blinked desperately, trying to squeeze out two tears.
"Listen to me." Xiao Jingkang saw that the scene was about to get out of control, so he had to come forward to maintain order.
"If Ruyi wants to go, Uncle will send a letter to your parents, as long as they agree, you can go."
"Wow! Uncle, you are very good, you can write to my father now, they will definitely agree. Xiao Yuan said confidently.
"As for Ah Yi and Ah Jun's request, I will decide after discussing with your mother." Xiao Jingkang did not object to the eldest son going to Suzhou, the younger son was not in the scope of his consideration, and the task of appeasing him was handed over to his wife to complete.
"Hehe, this discussion has nothing to do with Ah Jun." Xiao Rui gloated, his words just fell, and unexpectedly received a slap from Xiao Jingkang.
"My son also wants to go to the academy in the south to study." Xiao Yang intervened in this mess.
"Is Guozijian bad?" Xiao Jingkang has never studied in Guozijian, he has only heard that students from other places are desperately trying to go to Guozijian, and he has not heard that there are students from Guozijian who want to go outside.
"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles."
Incisive and classic, even Xiao Yao wants to give her third brother a thumbs up, daddy now see how you take it!
"You see, I have a total of four children, and when I heard that I had the opportunity to go to Suzhou, none of them wanted to stay." Tong Mingyu always thought that the children were all home-loving, who would have thought that as long as they got the opportunity, they all wanted to go out.
"The boy should go out for a while, I still envy my sister-in-law!" Li Jiaoying is telling the truth, the eldest son is a guard, and he will take root in Kyoto in the future, and the younger son is too soft, and he can only feel at ease when he is around. It's like a few children in my sister-in-law's family, who have the ability and courage, and even Ping'an has more ideas than ordinary girls.
"These little ones have no conscience, I love them in vain." Tong Mingyu said angrily.
Xiao Jingkang glanced at his wife with his eyes, don't patronize and chat, what can I do now! Could it really be that all four children should go to Suzhou, or that he would take a long vacation to go to Suzhou, Xiao Jingkang silently thought about how likely this would be.
"Let's settle the matter of peace tonight, and let me discuss the matter with your father before making a decision." Tong Mingyu took out the momentum of being the housewife and said with a final word.
In the following days, some decisions were made one after another, Xiao Yi went to see off his sister, but he couldn't stay, because when he came back from Suzhou, the New Year was coming, and as the eldest son of the long house, there were many things waiting for him to do.
Xiao Yang wants to study abroad, and he will be allowed to go to the south only if he achieves excellent results in Guozijian, Xiao Jun? Hehe, Tong Mingyu gave him two words "nonsense". Just when Xiao Jun was about to sprinkle and cheat, Tong Mingyu's fluttering words immediately stopped him.
"If you want to make trouble, then don't go to Suzhou for Ping'an, let her continue to be sick, anyway, it's not us who suffers, Ah Jun, is there any reason for what you said about your mother."
"I won't make trouble, let my sister go to Suzhou." Xiao Jun is like a frosted eggplant, wilting his head.
"You're a boy, and you want to go outside in the future, but besides, what do you do outside if you don't have the ability, waiting to be bullied? If you don't learn your skills, do you dare to expect you to protect your peace? ”
"I listen to my mother, but don't let my sister live in Suzhou for too long, no, I will really miss her."
"Your sister won't stay long." In the first half of the year, her daughter will definitely come back, Tong Mingyu firmly believes in her judgment.
Xiao Jingkang admired his wife's leadership skills very much, and settled his sons in a few words, he thought that his younger son would make a big fuss, but not only did he not see the expected crying, but he was the one who was most active in helping his sister prepare travel supplies.
"How did you convince Ah Jun?" Xiao Jingkang asked his wife the secret of this matter for the nth time.
"You guess slowly." Tong Mingyu successfully settled his sons, and this is the time to be proud.
Xiao Jingkang saw that there was no one around, and took his wife into his arms, he gently blew hot air in his wife's ear, Tong Mingyu obediently surrendered, Xiao Jingkang took the opportunity to steal an incense, and effortlessly got the answer he wanted.
Tong Mingyu waved her fist at her husband's distant back in annoyance, every time her husband used this trick, she had no ability to resist, but this guy caught his fatal flaw and tried it repeatedly. No wonder Ping'an's ghost ideas must have been inherited from her father.
In addition to Mama Ruan, Tong Mingyu also sent Xiying to take care of Ping'an, and Qiaoyue, who was already married, also walked with her. Xiaofu and Xiaohui are naturally in the ranks of traveling, but the two of them are still young, Tong Mingyu doesn't dare to expect them to take care of their daughter well, she just hopes that they will have a long experience, and don't drag their daughter back in the future.
Xiao Jingmin's reply was as Xiao Yuan wished, the couple were more open-minded, and directly told Xiao Jingkang and Tong Mingyu in the letter that during their daughter's stay in Kyoto, they would have full control over it, and that the daughter would go wherever she wanted as long as her uncle and aunt agreed, as long as she came back before she got married.
"This couple has too big hearts." Xiao Jingkang pointed to the letter on the table and accused dissatisfiedly, thinking that his daughter was going to leave his side, Xiao Jingkang hadn't slept well for several nights.
But these two don't mind at all, where are they like their fathers and mothers, Xiao Jingkang complained, turned his head and envied them, when will he be able to cultivate like them, the same heartless!
