Chapter 9: The Kids
"What?" Mu Hongshang didn't even look at it, just like throwing a hot potato, and threw those books back into Mu Tieyi's arms: "I don't have a good heart when I see you!" ”
"Why isn't this kind," Mu Tieyi smiled and stuffed the book to Mu Hongsheng: "This is what I carefully selected for my sister in the outer study, I heard that you have to copy books for two hours every day, I'm afraid that these are not enough!" ”
As soon as Mu Tieyi's words fell, the other brothers in the room also laughed, there was no malice in the laughter, but they simply felt that Mu Hongsheng was unlucky.
"You're all unkind!" Mu Hongshang snorted and turned his head: "Wait and see!" I remember all your gloating looks! When the time comes, you will be punished, and I will laugh back one by one. ”
"Little sister deserves it this time." Mu Chiyi, who is also seventeen years old, said with a smile: "Who told you to run to the lake in front of the eldest aunt to reach out and fish for people, listening to my mother, the eldest aunt was so frightened that her face turned blue." ”
"Didn't I get beaten!" Mu Hongsheng looked unconvinced: "Still in front of so many people!" Shame on the dead! ”
"It's a shame to be beaten, but it's not a shame to fall into the water and get wet?" Mu Qingyi smiled and spoke. He seems to be a little calmer than his other brothers by nature, and he is naturally more choking when he speaks. Mu Hongsheng was choked by his words, rolled her eyelids and thought about it for a long time, but she didn't figure out how to go back, she only hated herself for being clumsy.
"So my sister still copies books honestly," the youngest Mu Jinyi smiled and helped Mu Tieyi press those books into Mu Hongsheng's arms: "If it weren't for grandmother coming forward to punish you for copying books, I'm afraid that the eldest aunt wouldn't let you pass the test easily this time." If it is really the uncle's mother who punishes herself, I am afraid that it will be light to punish you for kneeling in the ancestral hall. Grandmother is saving you, my sister should be grateful, you have to copy the book quickly and well to repay your grandmother, don't you say? ”
As soon as Mu Jinyi asked, the rest of the brothers immediately clapped their hands and said yes, so lively that they almost toppled the roof. Mu Hongshang wanted to throw those books on top of her brother's head, but remembered what her grandmother had said before, the ones you just copied didn't count, and when she copied them again after eating the snacks, she could only take them first.
"Huh? What is this?! Mu Hongshang took the book, glanced at the cover of the top one, and immediately widened her eyes and asked, "Why is "Liutao"?" ”
"What happened to "Liutao"? It is the most suitable for copying books. Mu Tieyi looked proud, poked the book in Hongshang's hand with a folding fan, and knocked down the stack of blue books, revealing the title of the book underneath.
"Why is there still "Sima Fa" and "Wei Xuanzi"?" Mu Hongsheng pulled out the two books underneath, held them high in front of Mu Tieyi and asked him, "Why are they all military books?" Didn't Daddy say that you should copy the Analects? You're pit me! ”
"Daddy didn't tell me to let you copy the Analects," Mu Tieyi couldn't help laughing, but still made a serious appearance: "He only asked people to pass a message to me, and asked me to go to the outer study and take a few books for you to copy." So I touched the bookshelf in the outer study and found these for you. You also know that the most in our family is the book of war, and it is just a coincidence. ”
Mu Hongshang tilted her head and stared at Mu Tieyi with wide eyes, although her father asked someone to spread the word like this, and she heard it, but she still felt that her brother was very suspicious, and he must have deliberately tricked her! Mu Hongsheng thought like this, her eyes unabashedly revealed three points of indignation, two points of disgust, and stared at her Mu Tieyi with her lips pursed.
Mu Tieyi blinked, pulled Mu Lingyi, who was sitting in front of the desk and eating snacks seriously, and said innocently: "What are you looking at me like this?" When Daddy sent someone to pass the word, Xiao Wu was also there, and Xiao Wu heard it. Xiao Wu, you testify to the second brother, did your father send someone to pass the word and let me find some books for my little sister at random? ”
Mu Lingyi, who was holding a plate of snacks, looked helpless, that's right, the uncle sent someone to send a message to the second brother to find a few books for the little sister, it's true! But it's true that the second brother rummaged through the bookshelves in the outer study, and specially selected military books for the little sister! How does this make him answer?!
Mu Lingyi looked at the smiling brothers beside him, then at the little sister holding the book with an indignant face, and finally handed the dim sum plate in his hand to Mu Hongsheng, and said to him: "Little sister eats dim sum." ”
"I knew it was the second brother who cheated on me!" Mu Hongsheng didn't take the snack plate, but jumped up and picked up the stack of books and smashed it on Mu Tieyi's head: "Fifth brother never lies, and you are embarrassed to ask him to help cover up." ”
The children in this room are all future generals, all of them have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they are naturally flexible with their hands and feet, Mu Hongshang jumped up and smashed Mu Tieyi with a book, Mu Tieyi jumped back lightly, turned around and ran. He moved, and the other brothers were naturally busy running around for fear of being hanged, and the six children chased and played in circles in the Xinuan Pavilion, making the whole room even more crowded.
This scene often appears in the Mu family, there are many children, maybe why it is noisy, the servants and women don't seem to see it, the boys' little servants don't enter the house, they gather in the courtyard to fight grass, hear the movement and look up in the direction of the warm pavilion, and laugh strangely.
And the maid and lady who were waiting in the house seemed more calm, Mrs. Mu's eldest girl Cuiyun and Cuiliu plus a Wang Mama, as well as Mu Hongsheng's girl water chestnut and lotus leaf, all stood in place with a smile and looked at the chaotic Xinuan Pavilion, looking like the eight winds were not moving.
Mrs. Mu's Xinuan Pavilion was originally not big, and the six children were all here, plus the maid and mother-in-law, it was even more crowded. And this room is beautifully furnished, screens, incense burners, appreciation bottles, jade ornaments, glass palace lamps are readily available, most of them are delicate objects, children play here, if one accidentally breaks something, the young masters and ladies may be fine, but how can the people who serve around them not be punished? But the servants who were in the house were calm, and they didn't seem to stop the children from making a fuss.
Strange to say, the six children jumped up and down in circles in this small room, but they didn't even touch a stool. Everyone laughed as they ran, running fast, shouting lively, but the movement was not big, every move seemed to be calculated, and did not rub against the delicate objects in the house.
Halfway around in a circle, Mu Chiyi secretly stretched out his foot to pit the youngest Mu Jinyi, Mu Jinyi was defenseless and tripped directly on Mu Chiyi's feet, but he didn't stumble forward like an ordinary person, but reacted quickly and reached out to grab Mu Qingyi behind him, twisted his body skillfully, stood firm directly, and by the way, he could stretch out his foot and kick Mu Chiyi's calf.
