Hezhou ushered in another midwinter, the cold wind was howling outside, and the snow was knee-deep. The house is warm, because the earth dragon is burning, you can wear a thin layer of spring shirt inside.

Jin Niang pulled the abacus beads in the house, counting how much silver she had earned by reselling items back and forth between the capital and the grassland this year.

Since returning from the capital two and a half years ago, the goods brought by her have been snatched up by the tribes on the grassland, and Jin Niang has made a lot of money. After that, she became bold, recruited troops and asked people to form two teams to travel back and forth between the grassland and the capital, and sold some items from the capital and the south to the tribes of the grassland, and sold the furs on the grassland to the south.

Because the things she resells are all high-quality, take the high-luxury route, and because she is backed by the Liaodong Command Embassy, no Xiaoxiao dares to beat them. The business is going very well, and Jin Niang has truly achieved the achievement of making money every day.

The more Jin Niang pulls out the abacus, the happier she becomes, and the silver she has earned in the past two years is enough to marry a girl or a daughter-in-law.

Jin Niang's heart is full of joy and a great sense of achievement. But the thought that such a business might be over soon, made her depressed.

Qingmiao thought exquisitely, and when she saw that her face was pulled down, she didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing that she couldn't help but smile, she couldn't help but say, "Madame is along, isn't it?" What can be more important than the promotion of the master? The master has been in Hezhou for six years, and he is finally going back to Beijing, and his official position will definitely rise after that. Mrs. is not happy for the master, why is it that the business in Hezhou is not easy to do without a backer? ”

Qingmiao smiled as she spoke, "It's that the master has been transferred, as long as the master's official position is promoted step by step, others only have more respect for us, where is there a stumbling block for the lady's business without long eyes?" Not to mention how many officials the lord has promoted in Hezhou in the past few years, those people can all regard themselves as the master's protégés, and if they stay in Hezhou, the business of reselling the lady will not be yellow. ”

Why doesn't Jin Niang understand this meaning? But isn't there an old saying that county officials might as well be in charge?

Xu Erlang had a good business in Hezhou, and he also promoted several henchmen to become officials in Hezhou, but it was the adult who took over his official position and it is difficult to say. If there are no grievances with them, it is fine, if the party is different and deliberately finds fault, even if Xu Erlang's earlier business situation is good, there will be a day when it will be destroyed.

But there's no way around it.

Jin Niang thought, it's a big deal that she starts all over again.

Anyway, Xu Erlang is destined to rise this time, and Emperor Yunwen obviously wants to reuse him to eradicate the family gate valve, so he will not stay in the capital forever. It is conceivable that Xu Erlang will continue to go out, and she will do business wherever he goes. That way, you don't have to worry about being tripped up. Hehe, she's such a clever little ghost.

Jin Niang became happy and continued to crackle and dial the abacus beads, until she heard a few footsteps outside the door, and she stopped.

The people who came in were Xiao Yu'er and Changqi, two little girls who had just finished class, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger. They couldn't wait to enter the door and take off their big sweaters, and then while calling their mothers sweetly, they kicked their shoes and went up to the pit smartly, picked up the dim sum on the kang table and ate it.

Jin Niang asked the girl to bring them warm water, and told them, "Eat less, and we'll eat in a while." ”

Xiao Yu'er nodded and said "Okay". Her smiling eyes crooked to Jin Niang, looking at the numbers in Jin Niang's account book, her eyes widened more and more, and she gave her mother a thumbs up excitedly, "Niang is really amazing, Niang can be called Fan Li of the female middle school." ”

Jin Niang patted her, "Jing will pat your mother's ass." There was a smile in his tone.

Xiao Yu'er said seriously, "What's the sycophant, what I said is the truth." Mother asked Qi'er if she didn't believe it, Qi'er, did you say what your sister said was right? ”

Changqi nodded, without saying a word, her face was cold, and her eyes were warm. This little girl, at first glance, it was a little cold, but after a closer look, I found that it was cold, and it was obviously cute. It's just because there are few words, so it's a little more cold. If you don't know and are unfamiliar with this, you think that the little girl in the command mansion is arrogant, but in fact, she is really too lazy to speak and too lazy to speak.

Jin Niang looked at Changqi and nodded lightly, while holding the dim sum and taking a small sip. The little girl was domineering when she was a child, and one of the things that Jin Niang remembered most deeply was that when she came back from the capital, she bought a carriage of toys, among which she especially liked a small wooden sword, and held it in her hand all day long. One morning she got up late and couldn't find the wooden sword everywhere, and then she asked her grandmother to find out that her brothers had gone out with her little sword.

Changqi immediately ran out of the door angrily, and had a cold war with his two brothers for half a month.

looked at a petite person, but she was stubborn and domineering, she was very worried at the time, and complained that Xu Erlang spoiled her daughter.

She was worried about raising a little bully, but who knew that the longer the girl, the less she would talk, and even the earlier domineering would gradually disappear.

Jin Niang tasted it carefully afterward, what is going on? also asked Xu Erlang, did he teach Changqi in private?

Xu Erlang naturally responded no. He really doted on a few girls, as long as he didn't do anything excessive, he wouldn't say anything. And a few little girls don't go out of the door all day long, what bad things can they do?

So Xu Erlang never said a word of importance to a few girls, even if Jin Niang always sued him to take care of it, he was also open and secret. On the surface, I promised to be very happy, but in fact I never cared. However, he would suggest that Changqi and Xiaoyuer should be more leisurely, otherwise he would really annoy their mother, and he would not be able to protect them.

Don't talk about these far-reaching, just say that Xu is getting older, studying more, and having less fun, so there are fewer disputes between Changzhou and Changhui and Changqi. It's more possible that when they grow up, they know how to love their sisters, and they will let Changqi do everything.

Changqi has nothing to do with it, and her brothers and sisters care for her very much, everything comes with her, and her brutality and domineering are useless. And because all the things she wanted and didn't want were piled up in front of her, she felt that the attraction of these things had diminished. Because of this, her temperament has slowly improved. But it's no longer domineering, but it's become silent. Because I think everything is boring, I hang my little face all day long and pretend to be deep, which is also cute and lovely.

Jin Niang was talking to the two girls, and the voices of the maids greeting for peace sounded outside the door. Jin Niang heard Brother Rong ask, "What is my mother doing?" Is my mother in good spirits this morning? I also heard Changzhou and Changhui chattering, "Brother, get out of the way, let's go in first." ”

The curtain was lifted, and in the blink of an eye, Brother Rong led Changzhou and Changhui in.

The three of them studied in the front yard and came back to Cuibai Garden for dinner at noon. There is a short distance between the front yard and the Cypress Garden, and it is very cold outside. So much so that when the three children ran to Cuibai Garden, their faces were bruised and purple, which made Jinniang feel distressed.

Changqi automatically moved in, and even Xiao Yu'er moved inside, making some room for the three younger brothers to come up and sit.

Changhui went to the pit like a fish, showing his mother the red marks on the palms of his hands, "The master is broken, beat me to the ruler." ”

Cheung Chau muttered, "It's not that you haven't finished your schoolwork. Whoever makes you lazy and quibble, you deserve to be beaten by the master. ”

Jin Niang looked at Brother Rong and wanted Brother Rong to help explain what was going on, but Changzhou couldn't wait to open his mouth, "The master asked to recite two articles in the Book of Songs, and Changhui said that he would never forget it, and he would read it twice." I got up early this morning and asked him to memorize it first, and he said he was too lazy to spend that effort. When the master asked a question in class, he stumbled and couldn't memorize two sentences. The master said that he was lazy, and he quibbled that he really memorized it, but he forgot it after reciting it. ”

Changzhou drank saliva to moisten his throat and continued, "The master was annoyed when he heard this, and directly punished him with three precepts. ”

Changhui was a little uncomfortable when his brother exposed his old bottom, and he gave Changzhou a look. Changzhou saw it and pretended not to see it, so that this kid was stunned. Hmph, when he was reciting before, he was making trouble, and he said big things, flattening his IQ worthless. It seems to belittle his IQ, as if he can contrast how smart he is.

God is pitiful, they all came out of a mother's womb, who doesn't know who? It's not forgetful, bah, bah, the third brother in their family has the most clever brain, but it is not to the extent of unforgettable. Changhui has such a big face that he gave himself the title of 'unforgettable', is he worthy? He is so capable, why doesn't he go to heaven?

Changzhou held his breath and waited for Changhui to overturn, and sure enough, Changhui was punished by the master today. Although he felt unbearable when he saw him being beaten by his master, but just like his mother said, he will have a long memory when he is beaten, and he will not commit it next time if he has a long memory.

Cheung Chau chattered and said everything. Brother Rong peeled a few melon seeds with a smile on the side, handed them to Xiao Yu'er and Changqi, and said to his mother, "That's it." However, the master remembered that Changhui was a first-time offender this time, so he didn't make a big move, but just beat the three precepts. I started slowly, not too hard. Otherwise, Changhui's fingers would not have a few red marks, I am afraid that they will all be swollen into carrots now.

Jin Niang nodded when she heard the words and looked at Changhui. Changhui still has the face to complain now? He hung his head and ate nuts, his little face was flushed, and he was ashamed to look at his mother.

Jin Niang touched his head, "You tell your mother the truth, why do you brag that you can't forget it?" Tsk, your talent is 108,000 miles worse than your father, even your father doesn't dare to say that he never forgets it, you are small but big, and you can't forget, do you want to laugh off the big teeth of your mother and sisters and sisters, so that you can stuff all the snacks on this table into your own stomach? ”

Changhui ......

When Changhui reacted that he was being ridiculed by his mother, his tears fell uncontrollably.

He was so pitiful, but his brothers and sisters didn't comfort him at all, but they covered their stomachs one by one with a smile, and tears were about to roll down.

Changhui is aggrieved.

He's so old, doesn't he want to lose face? Mother peeled off his face and stepped on the ground, did she consider his feelings?

Changhui was aggrieved, and his crying became louder and louder. Crying and crying, his voice was hoarse and his mouth was gagged by pastries.

Changqi withdrew her hand unhurriedly, and looked at Changhui with big eyes, "Brother, you are too noisy, my ears hurt when I cry." ”

Changhui ......

In the end, after Jinniang's "severe torture", Changhui finally confessed that he had read the script. The protagonist in the book will never forget it, and he will remember everything clearly after reading it. He doesn't think he's worse than others, so the hero in the book can't forget it, why can't he have this ability?

Changhui was still complaining about her grievances, and Jinniang was already frowning and asked Brother Rong, "Where did Changhui's words come from?" ”

It's said to be a book, but it's actually a villain book with illustrations. After all, Changhui is not yet six years old, although the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text" have been learned, but the book is something that adults read, and he should not know many words in it. In order to have a better reading experience, the people in the bookstore should only recommend villain books to him, not any books.

Brother Rong shook his head in confusion, "I don't know." "He's telling the truth. Because he was the eldest son in the family, his father had high hopes for him, and at the same time, he was very strict. It's not that he hasn't been exposed to these things, on the contrary, when the triplets were born, he was also interested in the "villain book" for a long time. At that time, his father learned about it, so he chose a lot of villain books for him, and let him read enough and enjoy it, so he asked him what he thought.

He was young at the time, but he already had the ability to think independently, and his brain was quite effective. So to sum up, villain books are all a routine, but it's just a dream cast by frustrated people, it's all fake, and some are illogical, so just look at it to relieve boredom, you can't really go to your heart.

As for why he came to this conclusion, is it still unclear?

If you are not a frustrated person, how can you have leisure time to dream? Compared with his father, because he is in a high position and has a lot of responsibility, not to mention that his busy feet do not touch the ground every day, the light in the study will be on until dawn every three or five days, and that is also a time when there is little leisure. He's so busy, so he has time to think about something that he doesn't have? On the contrary, it is those frustrated people who have no way to advance, or fail to rank in the imperial examination, in order to make a living, or to promote the selfish thoughts in their hearts, so many illogical books will be written.

But that can't be true, just look at it and laugh it, if it is serious, it is your own life that is wrong.

Brother Rong'er's "rebellious period" has long passed, and he has no idea about having fun, but Changzhou and Changhui are not yet six years old, who would have thought that the little guy would be so precocious and start reading villain books at such a young age?

Brother Rong turned his head sideways and asked Changhui, "Where did your villain book come from?" ”

Changhui lowered his head and didn't answer, but Changzhou, after thinking about it, said, "I should have bought it when I went to the street a few days ago." "We went to the bookstore. At that time, the autumn festival had just ended, and many students in the bookstore were talking about the freshly baked Xie Yuan. I was fascinated by what I heard, so I asked Changhui to go shopping by himself. At that time, I didn't care when I saw him go inside. After we walked out of the bookstore, I saw that he was acting a little sneaky, but I didn't think much of it. Mother, my brother should have been at that time and secretly bought the villain book. ”

Jin Niang looked at Changhui, and the rest of the people at the small square table all looked at Changhui. Changhui felt a lot of pressure and felt more and more aggrieved. Xiao Er, who recommended the villain book to him, said that children of his age like this book, and they are all sold out. If someone else can buy it, why can't he buy it? Why?
