Soon after Qin Daochuan left, Ah Yun opened the door of the study, only revealing one head, and asked, "Mother, why did my father leave?" ”

Ruoshu stopped writing, looked at her and said, "Isn't it because of you?" ”

Ah Yun said: "Who asked him not to take me out to play, only to take my brother and them." ”

Ruoshu wrote down the last number, put down the pen, and said: "Since ancient times, men and women have been different, and men are naturally much more chic and free. ”

Ah Yun said: "Then I don't want to be a sister, I want to be an older brother." ”

Lan Zhi came in with something at this time, and accosted: "Fifth Miss, who said that being a girl is not good, you can wear beautiful clothes, you can bring beautiful flowers, you can cry if you don't like it, and you can laugh when you are happy." ”

Ah Yun said: "Brother, can't they cry or laugh? ”

Lan Zhi said: "That's natural, a manly man, he will be made fun of when he cries and laughs, saying that he doesn't look like a man." ”

Ruoshu answered: "What did you eat wrong today?" One sentence is more than the other. Ah Yun went to see, what did Aunt Lan Zhi take? ”

Ah Yun walked over slowly, glanced at it, and said with a lack of interest: "It's the bead flowers again." ”

Ruoshu stood up, walked over, looked at it, picked up a sample piece and compared it to Ah Yun, and asked her if she was okay, Ah Yun shook her head.

Lan Zhi said: "Miss Ah Yun is like you, she doesn't like to be lively, she likes vegetarian, and even the tricks must be vegetarian." ”

Ruoshu said: "If you don't wear it at a young age, you won't be able to wear it when you're older." ”

Lan Zhi said: "Then you said move her to take a look." ”

Ruoshu looked at the bead flower again, and saw that there was a bead flower inside, which was a branch made of silver, inlaid with thin ruby petals, and a silver bird stood on the red plum, although it was not valuable, but it was very exquisite, and said: "Shopkeeper Zhao can always come up with this method to put together some scattered scraps into good things." This red plum and this bird are all well done, and it is perfect for the little girl to take it. ”

Ah Yun said: "I don't like it. ”

Lan Zhi said: "I know, Aunt Lan Zhi will help you choose one." After speaking, he opened a box and took out a bead flower, which was just a few ordinary pearls strung together, but it was better than the average size and color, and there was a hollow ball made of silver below, and there was a silver bead inside, as long as it shook, it kept turning inside.

Ah Yun smiled and said, "I like this." ”

Ruoshu put down the bead flower in her hand and was about to return to the desk to continue to finish the letter, but Ah Yun stopped her and said, "Mother, father doesn't keep his word, you won't do it?" He said he was going to show me the dragon boat. ”

Ruoshu looked down at her and said, "Mother's boat is booked, how can you regret it?" ”

Ah Yun said: "Then let's go first, brother, they go out to play, and we will go out to play!" ”

Ruoshu said: "What's the comparison, the place they go to is not as fun as the boat." ”

Ah Yun curled his mouth and said, "When the time comes, they won't be able to play on the boat all the same." ”

Ruoshu felt funny and said, "Then how do you get the upper hand?" ”

Ah Yun said: "As soon as they go out to play, brother, we will also go out to play, and they will be envious when the time comes." ”

Ruoshu said: "It's been raining these days, so there's no place to play." If you are bored, go to the backyard to play with Aunt Lan Xuan and Sister Xile. ”

Ah Yun shook her head and said, "Sister Xile always takes a nap, it's not fun." ”

Ruoshu thought for a while and said, "Why don't you teach your mother to draw patterns?" ”

When Ah Yun heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, good." ”

Lan Zhi hurriedly beckoned the nurse to change her coat and prepare pen and ink. Ruo Shu drew a small flower in two or two times, and then painted it with red paint, painted it water red, and said, "Look, a peach blossom." ”

Ah Yun looked at it and said, "I want to paint too." ”

Ruoshu took her hand, taught her to draw stroke by stroke, and then asked her to draw by herself. Ah Yun didn't raise his head and said, "Mother, don't go, watch me draw." ”

Ruoshu snorted.

At this time, Qin Daochuan took his three sons into the right courtyard, and the small right courtyard suddenly became lively, chickens and dogs jumped, and the nurse grabbed them one by one to wash and change clothes, ready to eat lunch.

Qin Daochuan walked in, saw Ah Yun painting, and said, "What is Ah Yun painting?" ”

Ah Yun called his father and replied, "I'm painting peach blossoms." ”

Qin Daochuan looked at it for a while and said, "It's a good drawing, is it okay for Daddy to teach you to draw a bird?" ”

When Ah Yun heard this, he immediately handed the pen to Qin Daochuan and said, "Father, teach me to draw." ”

Qin Daochuan took the pen, asked Ah Yun to hold the paper, painted a few strokes, a little bird jumped on the paper, saw that there was colored paint next to it, so he adjusted the color, painted the bird blue, painted the tail some black, and turned into dark blue.

Ah Yun didn't dare to let go of his hands, looked up at Qin Daochuan, and said softly: "Father, it's so good-looking, like it's real." ”

Qin Daochuan also replied softly: "Don't let go, otherwise you will fly away." ”

Ah Yun immediately nervously increased the strength of his hand, and he didn't dare to come out, Qin Daochuan continued to paint, and then drew the bird's eyes, adding some deep shades of blue, making the bird more realistic.

At this time, the three sons rushed in, and when they saw this, they immediately shouted, "Wow, it seems to be real! "Beautiful!" Zhongyuan couldn't speak, so he had to pull the hem of Qin Daochuan's shirt and keep shaking.

Ruoshu took a few steps back and gave way to come out.

Ah Yun was so anxious that he said loudly: "Ah Yuan, don't shake, my father can't draw." ”

Qin Daochuan put down the pen, picked up Zhongyuan, and said: "It's just a sketch painting, if Ah Yun is willing to learn, Daddy will teach you in the future." ”

He asked Zhonglan and Zhongqi again, "Are you willing to learn?" ”

The two men shook their heads.

Qin Daochuan asked Zhongyuan in his hand again, "Are you willing to learn?" ”

Zhongyuan only replied to him with a few slurred words.

Lan Zhi finally waited for the opportunity and said, "General's wife, young ladies and sons, it's time to eat, Xia Cha is going to die, and the food is going to be cold." ”

The table was still very lively, and Qin Daochuan said to Ruoshu, who was sitting opposite him: "I really envy you, you can be so lively every day." ”

Ruoshu said: "In the future, I will have my own master to beat their boards, and I am happy to be a good gentleman." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "Also, in the second half of the year, Lanxi Academy will open, Zhongzhan will be enrolled, only Xianya is left in the private school, it is not suitable, Zhonglan will also go, and Zhongqi and Ah Yun can also go next year." ”

Ruoshu said: "You arrange it." ”

Zhong Qi said at this time, "Mother, didn't you say that you can't eat? How can my father talk to you? ”

Qin Daochuan was about to speak, but he was choked back.

Ruoshu said: "What I said to my father was serious, not in this case. ”

Zhong Qi nodded as if he didn't understand.

Zhonglan didn't hold back, laughed out loud, and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he explained: "I remembered the situation when Zhongyuan wrestled in the practice room just now, and I couldn't help it. ”

When Zhong Qi heard this, he also smiled and said: "Mother, didn't you see it, he was just about to punch, he lay on the ground, like a turtle, he couldn't get up for half a day, and he turned over for a long time." ”

Ruoshu glanced at Zhongyuan, who was grabbing vegetables and eating next to him, and didn't understand what his brother was talking about, so he said: "Brothers should help each other, and you just look at him embarrassed?" ”

Zhonglan explained: "Uncle Nan said to let him get up by himself, and he didn't fall. ”

Ruoshu said: "Okay, eat, let's talk after eating, otherwise the dishes are full of saliva, how can I eat?" ”

Ah Jun answered: "Didn't Mother never eat the same as us? ”

Ruoshu replied: "My bowl is also on the table, can you not be afraid?" ”

Qin Daochuan looked at them, you said a word, the children were all healthy and lovely, and their hearts were warm.

After the meal, the nurse took the children back to her house to prepare for a nap.

Qin Daochuan asked Ruoshu if he wanted to take a lunch break, Ruoshu shook his head, and Qin Daochuan said: "I just said that Zhongzhan went to Lanxi Academy to study, and there is one more thing I want to ask you first. ”

Ruoshu leaned back on the soft couch and looked at him.

Qin Daochuan sat up straight, and said face to face with her: "There is a gentleman in Lanxi Academy, known as Master Zheng. Seeing that Ruoshu's eyes were calm, he continued: "Born in the Zheng family in Huizhou. ”

Ruoshu still looked at him lightly.

Qin Daochuan continued: "He is your father, I don't know if you are willing to admit it, so I haven't talked to you about it." ”

Ruoshu said flatly: "He is his master, what does it have to do with us asking us to learn." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "After Zhong Zhan goes, he will naturally know, I want to say, do you want to make it clear to him first, he can be prepared." ”

Ruoshu said: "You talk to him directly, tell him not to rush to find someone, his mother is not surnamed Zheng." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "I guessed that you would be like this, but I didn't expect that you didn't know that Master Zheng had come to Lanxi Academy. ”

Ruoshu said: "You can tell Zhong Zhan not to be rude, if people know, they will only be made fun of, and it will not be beneficial." ”

Qin Daochuan sighed lightly: "Most of the children of the officials in the capital are studying in Lanxi Academy, and Zhongzhan will take over the Guogong Mansion in the future, and it will be beneficial for him to make more friends at this time." ”

Ruoshu said: "Don't say that I have never taken this matter to heart, even if it is, I will not miss my son's future because of this." ”

Qin Daochuan moved to Ruoshu's side, looked at her and said, "You, what do you want me to say about you?" What do you have on your heart? ”

Ruoshu said: "I have something in my heart. ”

Qin Daochuan looked at her and said softly, "It's just that there is no me." ”

Ruoshu said: "I don't care if you have me in your heart, what do you care?" ”

Qin Daochuan hugged her and said, "But I care, I also want you to care if you have you in my heart." ”

Ruoshu said: "The children are all year by year, don't you feel tired of panicking? ”

Qin Daochuan said: "I don't think, I'm just flustered, panicked that you always don't have me in your heart." ”

Ruoshu said: "If it's very hot today, you can sit down!" ”

Qin Daochuan refused to let go of his hand, and said: "Shu'er, I know that I hurt you before and made you wronged, I can't regret it, you tell me what I want to do before you can forgive me." ”

Ruoshu said: "It's hard to collect the water, some things can never be changed, you can't give what I want, and I can't force what you want." No matter how much you force it, it will only hurt others and yourself, this is not a good habit, you have to change. ”

Qin Daochuan straightened her body, faced him, and said, "I know, I can't change what happened, for more than a year, I have been thinking every day about what I did wrong before." Then I figured out that I was hurting you, intentionally or unintentionally. So when I returned to Beijing this time, except for the wedding banquet of the Seven Princes yesterday, I will not go to any other banquets in the future. I have already instructed Steward Qin, and if there is a post to directly refuse, whatever reason he uses. She likes to go by herself, she has the palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion to rely on, I can't do anything to her, I can only draw a line with her, I hope she will get lost as soon as possible and give up by herself. ”

Ruoshu looked at him coldly and didn't speak.

Qin Daochuan hugged Ruoshu into his arms and said, "Shu'er, you don't understand, you don't understand how I miss you and our sons and daughters in the north, in Western Xia, and in Tibet, and how disgusted I am to watch them fight for power and profit. To put it mildly, if it weren't for my grandmother's persistence, I would have taken you to live in the North forever and leave here forever. ”

Ruoshu said: "My grandmother's death made me understand that escaping can't solve the problem, and I still think so, in this world, there is nothing wishful thinking, but if you pay, you must want to gain, and if you can't give others what you want, don't force others to do what you want." ”

Qin Daochuan said bitterly: "Shu'er, you can't try to believe in me, give me time to show my determination. ”

Ruoshu said: "I have always been here, and I can only stay here in the future, what are you anxious about?" ”

Qin Daochuan's hand tightened again, Ruoshu felt that it hurt to be hooped, and Qin Daochuan's firm voice was in his ear: "Shu'er, you watch, see what I do." ”
