Chapter 243: Illusion
Xu Lan picked him up and said, "Auntie is too rare to let you go." There are a lot of people today, and my aunt is afraid that there will be flowers mixed in. If you are abducted again, my aunt will cry to death. ”
Listening to Xu Lanyin's words, Zhao Xingchen choked up and said, "I know that my aunt is rare little stars, and little stars are also afraid of shooting flowers." ”
Xu Lanyin's heart was so soft that she was ashamed to deceive children. What to do, she is reluctant to give him back to Lao Chai's family, if only he could be a son for her life.
Several people ate, Xu Ershi also came back, he was accompanied by Yang Zhong to eat wine in the tavern outside, his face was red from drinking, and his legs were shaking.
The next day, Xu Lanyin took Ding Xiaoran to the teahouse by car, and the mule cart turned around to pick up Wang Sanni.
Xu Lanyin went to the teahouse today mainly to deal with some things after the game and listen to the account room. There is also waiting for Liu Zhaohou, afraid that he will really come to the teahouse again.
Those who participate in the chess fight also receive money, and those who are shortlisted are each given two taels of silver. A total of one hundred and sixty-four taels of silver were collected, except for the prizes, the wages of the referee, and the free tea and refreshments provided yesterday, it could not be opened, and the tea house was a loss on the books. But the significance of fighting chess is far-reaching, and this time it is even more different from others, and the invisible advertising effect is huge.
However, at the beginning of noon, Liu Zhaohou and Chai Jun did not come, but Min Nan and Qin Hongyu came. They said that they sent Liu Gongzi and Lord Chai away early this morning.
Last night, they learned that the stupid double chess champion was actually the fourth prince Liu Zhaohou. It was said that Chai Jun took those kinds of chess back and gave them to the four princes who liked to play chess. Unexpectedly, the four princes liked it very much, studied every day, and came up with a new way to play military chess. He heard that the teahouse was going to fight chess, and the owner of the teahouse also said that the person who invented the new way to play would reward the membership card and make a fuss about coming to Ningzhou Mansion to play. The Queen Mother was so troubled by the quarrel that she agreed to let Chai Jun bring him ......
Min Nan said, "When I was in the capital, I heard that the four princes liked to play chess, and they only liked to play chess, especially Go. I didn't expect him to play military chess and Western chess so well. ”
Yesterday, Min Shan and Liu Zhaohou played a game of military chess, and they were defeated in half an hour.
The next morning, Xu Lanyin returned home. Xu Ershi had already returned, and the East Wing Hall was piled up with some things she asked Yang Zhong to buy for her old family.
"Because my sister doesn't come home to see? Brother Zhou will go to Fucheng for the exam at the beginning of next month. Xu Ershi said.
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "You also saw it, the sister of the Min family is raised by me, and I can't leave." If Lan Zhou passes the prefectural examination, he still has to go back here to take the imperial exam, and I will wait for him here. ”
In this era, the prefectural examination was in February, the prefectural examination was in March, and the hospital examination was in April. Therefore, if Xu Lanyin wants to take the hospital examination, he will come to the provincial capital again at the end of March and early April.
Xu Lanyin didn't want to leave here, not entirely because of Min Jia, she could have taken Min Jia back to Nanping County, and now it was safe. But it is based on two other reasons, one is to wait for Zhao Wu here, if Zhao Wu returns to Hebei Province, he will definitely come to the criminal prosecution first, after all, he was sent to go out on business at the beginning. The second is for Zhao Xingchen, after the Fujian household finishes business, it is likely to explain the situation to the Chai family, and the Chai family will definitely come to see Zhao Xingchen as soon as possible.
Xu Ershi became a scribe because of Lord Min, of course, he had to focus on other people's daughters. Hurriedly smiled, "The sister of the Min family is the daughter of a nobleman, and she can't be wronged." Because my sister is busy here, my eldest brother will take care of him when Dandi goes to Fucheng. ”
In the evening, I invited Li, Wang Sanni and Wang Jincai to have dinner together. Li brought some things back for the old man and his children.
The next day, Xu Ershi returned to Nanping County. Wang Sanni and Wang Jincai went back with him, it was spring, and they were going to see the situation in their own fields.
Xu Lanting wants to live here for a long time in the future, so Xu Lanyin asked Zhou Shu to recommend a good private school and go there to study every day.
Xu Lanzhou's pattern is limited, and it won't be too promising anyway. But this little brother is different, and the revitalization of the Xu family will depend on him in the future. This kid is already very smart, plus Xu Lan takes him by his side every day to train him, and he is used to seeing "big scenes", not only does he have good homework, but he also has good feelings and is likable.
At the same time, he also arranged for Ding Xiaoran to go to a private school to study, and told his husband that he would attend classes for five days in ten days and ask for four days off. Xu Lanyin has high hopes for Ding Xiaoran, and feels that the future chess master should have more inner cultivation. also promised that if Ding Xiaoran had a great influence in chess in the future, he would be released as a slave.
Ding Gu's father and son were so happy that they went to kowtow to Xu Lanyin again, thanking her for her cultivation of Ding Xiaoran.
Xu Lanyin lives a quiet life at home with her three children, and occasionally goes to the teahouse to have a look.
The days flickered to March, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and the weather became warmer.
The news that the prince participated in the chess fight in the Xinyun teahouse has spread, and the three kinds of chess have also spread, and the business of the teahouse has become better, surpassing all the teahouses in Ningzhou Mansion. Although the tea house charges very high, it is still overcrowded, and guests have to go early to take up their seats on the rest of the day. In the hearts of many people, drinking tea and playing chess in Xinyun Teahouse is a kind of elegance.
In the middle of the year, the spring rain poured down for several days, and the courtyard was full of flowers.
On the thirteenth day, the door of the upper hall was open. It was smoky and rainy outside, and it was peaceful inside.
Xu Lanyin was doing needlework with two girls, and Min Jia and Zhao Xingchen were sitting at the door reading comic books. Min Jia read it aloud, and Zhao Xingchen read it along.
Min Jia's speech is much better than before, but some words are still not read clearly, and Zhao Xingchen will correct her in time.
"Sister Jia, it's 'Niang', not 'Liang'. I've said it several times, and you've forgotten it. Zhao Xingchen corrected.
Min Jia immediately corrected, "Liang, Liang, mother......"
"Well, I read it right this time, Sister Jia is awesome." After Zhao Xingchen finished praising it, he also slapped his little fat hand.
Xu Lanyin smiled and glanced up at them.
The years are quiet.
She suddenly felt like a married woman, living a small life with three children, looking forward to the return of her husband who had been on a business trip for many days...... Startled by her delusion, she chuckled and two red flowers flew up her cheeks.
Zhao Wu is the bear child she trained, what's wrong with herself? She felt that she was "obscene", and she had a sense of guilt and even shame for mutilating the little flower. If this illusion is known to Zhao Wu, he will not be able to laugh at her, how embarrassing it is. She quickly put the thought aside and looked up at the two children.
It was rainy and the light was not very good. The book in Min Jia's hand and his little head were stretched outwards to make the light as good as possible. Zhao Xing was with her, and he also stretched out his little head.
Min Jia continued to read.
After reading a few words, Zhao Xingchen corrected again, "Sister Jia said the wrong thing again, it's 'seven', not 'chicken'." ”
