Xi Hongdou remembered that Abu was very clingy to her before, but now the child is growing up fast, but he doesn't stick to her anymore.

"Now that he is not young, if he wants to go back to Hui, he will follow him." Xiao Zhi said that Abu was rescued by Xi Hongdou, and it caused a lot of discussion at the time, although he was bought back as a slave, but Xi Hongdou raised Abu as a son, and he was not left behind in reading and literacy. I also invited my husband to come and teach in Kyoto Castle before, and now that the children are older, they won't stop them if they want to go back.

When Xi Hongdou heard this, he said: "It's true, everyone treats him as an outlier if he doesn't look good, if he thinks that Hui can live a more comfortable life, let him be." ”

The calf and lamb also need time to feed here, Xi Hongdou went to see it a few times, and there was no problem, Sanda was very good at taking care of it, but he was old and a little "cold", as soon as Xi Hongdou didn't understand something, Sanda would be irritable and explain more, so that Xi Hongdou didn't dare to ask anything.

It's Abu, and Sanda get along, Xi Hongdou heard from Dagulina, Sanda has no children, no daughters, lonely and alone, and used to make a living by helping herd, but now that he is old and has some illnesses, the herding thing is handed over to the young people to do, Sanda can only do such a small thing as doing forage, and he also proposed to leave their residence before, not wanting to eat white food, and now Xi Hongdou can take in Sanda here, and Daguli feels a little better.

"Abu, play and play, you still have to read the books you should read on weekdays." Xi Hongdou instructed Abu when he left.

Although Abu nodded, he still said, "I have studied so much, and I can't take the top exam." "He's just a slave in Yanyun, and it doesn't matter if he learns it or not.

Xi Hongdou was speechless: "That's not the same thing, people read books to grow, and it has nothing to do with whether they take the exam or not, if you know more and see more in the future, you will know that books are a good thing." After speaking, he touched Abu's little head, Abu is also ten years old this year, and children at this age grow the fastest.

Abu was honest and obedient, and when he saw Xi Hongdou leaving, Sanda said, "She is very good to you." ”

Abu turned his head to look at Sanda, who already had a white beard, but her eyes were still bright.

"Not to mention the Hui Hui who is advocating the fragrance of Shangshu, even if you can see the fragrance of books everywhere, there are not all people who can read." Sanda said that the aristocracy has the best resources, and although the common people let their children study in order to one day leap into the dragon gate, the investment is not something that anyone can afford, and it is more about literacy, and it will not be deceived to do a business in the future.

Abu didn't know much about this, but he knew that Sanda was right, but now that he was getting older, he knew who he was.

"But I'm just a slave after all." Abu was a little frustrated, he knew that the word slave was not good, but he was born as a slave.

Sanda laughed directly: "I see that she is a cheerful person, and she doesn't seem to treat you as a slave, after all, who will let a slave read and learn?" ”

Abu knew that Xi Hongdou was good to him, but he didn't know how to repay Xi Hongdou. What he has now is also given to him by Xi Hongdou, and he can't get anything in return at all.

"Can you teach me how to raise these little things?" Abu was referring to the calves and lambs.

Sanda raised her eyebrows, and then said, "It's okay to teach you, it's just what you want to do, and it's useless to feed these things." ”

Abu didn't understand: "I can raise these things, won't I be able to help Sister A?" ”

"That's a groom, anything anyone can do, it's worthless." Sanda said that he had lived for so many years and ended up in such a poor situation, which could not be more clear.

Abu still didn't understand, so Sanda said: "Your sister should have money, and if you want a groom, you can hire it casually, and you become a groom, but it's useless." ”

Abu thought that if he hadn't been holding Xi Hongdou at the beginning, Xi Hongdou would not have bought him a little slave, in the final analysis, Xi Hongdou was a kind-hearted person, and the reason for buying him was also soft-hearted. At the beginning, he had nothing, and Xi Hongdou didn't have any plans to treat him well, but he was purely good-hearted, he was so anxious now, if he really just wanted to be a groom, it is estimated that Xi Hongdou would not be happy.

"Grandpa Sanda, what should I do?" Abu asked, his eyes were full of confusion, he didn't know what he was doing now to make Xi Hongdou happy and not disappointed in him.

Sanda smiled: "You are still young, it is estimated that in a few years, you will understand what a man should do." "The world of men is complicated and complicated, simple but really simple, in essence, it still revolves around power and merit, but now he won't understand this to a ten-year-old little yellow-haired boy, and when he gets older, he will naturally understand.

Abu dragged his little face, looking at the snowflakes floating outside, and his little head was also thinking a lot.

As soon as Xi Hongdou saw that it was snowing, he hurried back to the city, and after returning home, he first went to the study to add a brazier to Xiao Zhi, and then went back to the room to calculate first.

The New Year is going to pass in Shuobei, and it is estimated that her mother-in-law will be uncomfortable not seeing her son, but she still prepared a courtesy for the caravan to help bring it back.

There is also a gift from my mother's family, I used to be able to go back for the New Year, but now I am married, and it is far away, I really can't leave, and the things are delivered, and it will be good.

A few days later, Mrs. Xiao received a gift from Shuobei, things are Shuobei's specialties, although it is not too expensive, but it is also expensive in Kyoto City can not be bought, Mrs. Xiao saw that she got so much, and she couldn't finish eating it when she ate it, so she sent it away.

"Does this stinky boy know how to bring things home?" Master Xiao said with a smile, marrying a daughter-in-law is different.

Mrs. Xiao was speechless: "Just your son, how can you have such a careful heart?" For so many years, I haven't seen him give us a father, most of them are red beans Zhang Luo. That's why the things sent are so "down-to-earth".

Master Xiao sighed: "This daughter-in-law is also married well, and she thinks about things well, but you were so unhappy at the beginning." ”

Mrs. Xiao said, "I'm not unhappy. She had never said anything like not marrying.

Master Xiao also understands that his wife wants Xiao Zhi to marry a better one, although Su Huiwan is qualified, it is not the best, but no matter how bad it is, I should never have thought that it was Xi Hongdou, if it weren't for his son's "wife" physique, it is estimated that the marriage would not have been decided by Xiao Zhi alone.

But now, Mrs. Xiao has also seen the reality clearly, no matter how good her identity is, she may not be a good daughter-in-law, although Xi Hongdou does not meet her own requirements, but now it has become a habit, and she feels that there is nothing wrong with this daughter-in-law.

"Don't talk about that little thing in the past, now my mother is also looking forward to Hongdou giving birth to a child as soon as possible, the previous letter was sent, and I don't know if they have moved." Mrs. Xiao said, but there is no news, otherwise the gifts will be given, and the good news will be brought back together.

"Don't worry about this, Xiao Zhi hasn't grown up yet, how can he be a father?" Master Xiao said, and the children are still young, so why is there a hurry to have children.

Mrs. Xiao said: "Even if I'm not in a hurry, what do you say, mother?" If you want to say it, you can say it! "Mrs. Tai, she can't handle it either.

As soon as Master Xiao saw that things were not good, he quickly slipped away.

Mrs. Xiao pondered that it was not just that Mrs. Tai was worried about hugging her great-grandson, she also wanted to hug her grandson quickly, and when Xiao Zhi had a son, she would be relieved. After giving birth to Xiao Zhi back then, his body was also greatly damaged, and he has not been pregnant again, and now while Xi Hongdou is young, it is naturally good to have more children, anyway, Xiao Zhi's term of office outside is only three years, and now he is doing a bad job, there must be Xiao Zhi among the people who return to Beijing, and in the future, the daughter-in-law will lower her eyelids, and she will be able to see immediate results if she urges the baby.

A few days later, the Xiao family came, and Mrs. Xiao's niece came.

In the early years, Mrs. Xiao's sister married to Jiangnan, and now she hasn't seen her for many years. But when she saw her niece, Mrs. Xiao was also dumbfounded.

"Say hello to my aunt." A little girl with pink carvings is greeting Mrs. Xiao, her appearance is delicate and beautiful, and her posture is like a fairy daughter, Mrs. Xiao looked at it and asked, "You are Yulin?" "When I saw this child in my early years, it was just a six or seven-year-old little girl doll, although I could see that it was a beautiful embryo since I was a child, but now I am really more beautiful than when I was a child.

Shao Yulin smiled and nodded: "It's Yulin." ”

Mrs. Xiao likes it very much, her sister married well to Jiangnan, most of the families marry the daughters of the family, but her mother's family is not a family girl, and finally her sister can enter the family It is not an ordinary person, now this Shao Yulin has a body of rules and bearing, and everything is really good.

"Come and sit, I heard that your mother's health is not so good, and she hasn't been able to bring you to Beijing all these years, I really can't imagine that you have grown into a slim lady over the years." Mrs. Xiao smiled and took Shao Yulin's hand and said, looking at her age, it's time to discuss marriage, right?

Shao Yulin smiled, looked around, and asked, "Why don't you see your cousin?" ”

"He, the imperial court sent an official, and now he has gone to Shuobei, and he won't come back for the New Year." Mrs. Xiao said: "You still remember what happened when you were a child, and you still know that you are looking for him as a wild boy. ”

Shao Yulin smiled and said, "When my cousin got married before, my mother said that I couldn't come over, but now I am here to congratulate my cousin in person." ”

"No need to be so polite." Mrs. Xiao smiled, why did Shao Yulin enter Beijing this time She also had a clear heart, although the prince did not get married, but the position of the main wife is also there, and now the queen intends to choose two Liangdi to enter the East Palace, and the news has already been released, but the prince is not in Beijing now, and this matter has been delayed.
