Someone owes money and doesn't pay it back? That's impossible. Not to mention that after they arrived in Hezhou, they went to the river non-stop, and they had no time to contact others. said that after returning to the house, Chang'an had never gone out for a walk, and he had never seen any outsiders, even if someone wanted to borrow his money, he couldn't see anyone.

What's more, his second uncle is still a pivotal official in Hezhou, who dares to offend him?

If it is said that he was splashed with a child's urine by Changzhou, it is even more nonsense, I didn't see Chang'an still wearing the clothes they wore when they went out, and the clothes were neat and clean, and there was nothing indecent.

Therefore, these two statements of Changping are pure nonsense.

However, that statement was too boring, so Chang'an glared at him fiercely.

Changping was threatened by his eldest brother, and he smiled, but he didn't dare to say anything more nonsense.

He was settled, but Su Zheng and Wei Qingyao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, look at your solemn face, what's on your mind?" ”

"If you encounter something difficult to solve, you might as well talk about it. Although we can't help you with ideas, we can always solve your problems. ”

Chang'an said in his heart, I also want you to unravel me, so that I don't think so much. But the point is that he can't say that.

Can the news of the iron mine leak out? If the news leaks out accidentally, I am afraid that the lives of the family will be threatened.

Chang'an turned around when he thought of this, waved his hand in distress and said, "I just got tested by the second uncle, and I didn't answer well......

Needless to say, no one here could have imagined what would happen next. According to Xu Tongzhi's strictness to others and himself, Chang'an did not answer the question well, and he was afraid that he would inevitably be reprimanded.

Several people didn't know how to persuade them when they heard this, after all, only if they really cared about their juniors, they would be so angry. Xu Tongzhi's eldest brother died early, leaving three children to be raised by him, without a biological father, Xu Tongzhi's requirements for Chang'an Changping must be higher, and he wants them to stand up to the door and not fall into the prestige of his brother...... This is all understandable, so they don't know what to say for a while.

Ban'er thought about it and said, "Tongzhi is a master who is from a good background, has read poetry and books, and has extraordinary knowledge. We are younger, and some of our opinions are not the essentials, and it is understandable that we cannot satisfy adults. Let's work harder, maybe in another two years, we can impress adults. ”

Su Xuan also said, "Second Uncle's requirements are a little higher, but it is also because he has high hopes for you. Chang'an, you work hard, strive to be promoted in the earlier examination, and make the second uncle happy. ”

It's so easy to lift people in the exam. Let's just say that the little uncle has read five or six years more than them, and now he is still being pressed by the deputy mountain elder to study hard. Even in this year's Autumn Festival, they originally thought that the little uncle would participate, but when they came, they heard from the little uncle that he couldn't wait for the fire, and the teacher didn't allow him to act rashly. Now he is pressuring him to study hard in the academy, and he won't even give him a summer vacation.

Although he also won the show, his knowledge is still far worse than that of his little uncle. Even the little uncle is not ready for the fire, so he can only be pressed to study, and he doesn't have to think about participating in the autumn festival.

The topic naturally shifted to the matter of the imperial examinations.

Su Zheng and Ban'er are interested in participating in the children's test next year, and Changping and Su Zheng will naturally participate. The results of the two of them are at the bottom of the crowd, but in other words, they are all partners who play and have fun, if everyone is talented, only the two of them are holding back, do they not want to lose face?

So after saying this, both of them had a heavy mind, and they had no intention of going out to play, but picked up their homework and studied hard for two days.

Even these two people are motivated, not to mention Ban'er, Su Zheng and Wei Qingyao.

They also immersed themselves in hard study, delving into knowledge, and for a while, the sound of books in the outer courtyard was loud, and the learning atmosphere was rich, which made Jin Niang can't help but sigh, "With the goal of struggle, it is really different." "People who don't have a goal, like her, want to lie down like a salted fish all day long. If you don't even need to turn over, that's the real beauty......

Xu Erlang started to be busy again, and when several children noticed that the second uncle was busy again and didn't even return home, Xu Erlang had been busy for two days.

Chang'an's mind moved, and he felt that he had noticed something.

He wanted to follow his second uncle, but what could he do......

The little boy realized that he could only drag his feet when he went, so he pressed all his thoughts and continued to study honestly.

Changping and Su Zheng, who were completely unaware, asked Jinniang with great interest, "Auntie, can we go with the second uncle?" "Although they have endured a lot of hardships and suffered a lot from working as supervisors on the river, they have also gained a lot of knowledge.

And what they learned from it was something that was not in the books, and what the husband could not teach them. They feel that they have grown a lot in this, so they have the heart to follow along.

But can Jin Niang call the shots in this matter? I can't. No matter how she didn't know what was going on, she also noticed a little bit of cattiness from Xu Erlang's expression - Xu Erlang has been busy in the past two days, and it is by no means a trivial matter like an ordinary two. It's too late for her to help cover up the secrecy, so she will deliberately send a few obstructive pasts to mix. If she accidentally leaked some news, or caused a few children to cause trouble, she couldn't afford to apologize.

Therefore, "If you want to say that it is about your second uncle's affairs, I don't dare to make up my mind for her." ”

Changping deliberately looked at Jinniang with that kind of eye, "I didn't expect you to be such an aunt". Jin Niang couldn't help but be happy, "Don't deliberately provoke me, I won't eat your set." Your second uncle is busy with big things outside, and I, a woman in the house, don't know anything, so wouldn't it be a mess to make decisions for him rashly? I don't dare, if you really want to go, go to your second uncle yourself. ”

But if they dare to talk to the second uncle, will they still use it to find their aunt?

If the second uncle has the heart to train them, let them go without them opening their mouths. And this time I didn't call them...... Isn't it a matter of secrecy, not suitable for their small participation?

A few small ones glanced at each other, and immediately dispelled the idea in their hearts. Forget it, since they can't go, they don't go. You can't make trouble for the second uncle, otherwise you will annoy the second uncle and be "taught" martial arts or "tutored" by the second uncle, which will be terrible.

A few people came out of the flower hall dejectedly, and saw the triplets stumbling outside.

Triplets speak early, and they will basically shout at eight or nine months. Although it's all one word at a time, it's an open mouth.

But they learn to walk very slowly, Changzhou and Changhui are better, because they are boys, somewhat wild, and bolder, they are driven away a few steps by adults on the ground, but Changqi is different, the little girl is very cautious, holding on to things before she is willing to stand, expecting her to take a step, that is not to think. Anyway, whether it is Jin Niang or Changle and Xiao Yu'er, the test did not make the little girl brave to walk a few steps in order to test it a few times, but Changzhou and Changhui are very fast. Changping They didn't know how to walk when they came, but now it's only a few days, and they're already walking fast, and they can't even run when they stumble.

Xiao Yu'er and Brother Rong saw it next to them, and they were secretly anxious when they saw this scene. The two poked Changqi's fat ass lightly, "Take two steps, my sister will come over to find my sister." Don't be afraid, we are the bravest and not afraid of falling. ”

Xiao Yu'er squatted three or five steps away from Changqi, holding a rattle in her hand to attract Changqi's attention, trying to make the little girl walk. But Changqi just glanced at her coldly, and then looked away and calmly looked at the two crazy brothers.

Brother Rong was behind Changqi and poked her ass again, "Qi'er take two steps, don't be afraid, my brother is watching you from behind." ”

However, it is still useless.

Changqi seemed to be poked uncomfortable, and raised his hand and patted Brother Rong'er's arm.

What can Brother Rong say? He didn't say anything, looking at the delicate white and tender Baibai, showing a silly smile.

When Changping and a few people came out, they saw this scene, and Changping flattened his mouth and said speechlessly, "Qi'er's temperament, who is this like?" "The children of their old Xu family are all lively and active. As for their third uncle, Xiao Yu'er, they all have some ADHD.

It's Chang'an, don't look at the quiet now, but when I didn't know anything when I was a child, I was also lively and tight. So, how did their family have a genetic mutation and have Changqi, a little calm girl?

Changping grabbed two handfuls of his head and walked over there. Su Zheng walked up quickly behind him and muttered softly, "Like whom?" The dragon is better than the dragon and the phoenix is born, and you don't look at who this child's father is. That's the second uncle's child, and his temperament must be like the second uncle. ”

Changping: "......" glanced at Su Zheng speechlessly, I think it makes sense for you to say that.

Looking at Changqi's calm expression again, Changping saw a little coldness from it at this moment. It won't be wrong again, this indifferent temperament must be like the second uncle.

A few children were playing and making trouble, and they almost turned the yard over. Jin Niang's ears hurt when she heard it in the house, and she hated that she couldn't ask the maid to give her two cotton balls.

It's true to say that there are too many children making a fuss.

A few children returned to Beijing before, and the house was very deserted for a while, and they were not suitable for all kinds of things. Now that the children are here, she can't stand the excitement anymore.

Habit, it's a thing that is hard to change.

Xu Erlang didn't come back that night, and he didn't return home for the next two days.

Several children are still worried about their father's food and drink, but Jinniang is not too worried. Because he can receive a few words from Xu Erlang every day, knowing where he is and whether he is okay, so the whole heart is still stable.

After Jin Niang finished dealing with the affairs in the house, she was free for a short time, so she picked up a needlework dustpan to make a lining for Xu Erlang. In the summer, Xu Erlang is especially expensive to dress. Because he loves cleanliness, and because he is always running outside, he can't change into four or five sets of underwear a day if he can't afford to.

In fact, Jin Niang doesn't understand that in the summer, there is no way to wear underwear outside, but when you get home, don't you just wear a single dress?

Although Hezhou is far to the north, it is not as hot as the capital in summer, but it is also hot for a few days.

She can't live in belly pocket shorts, and she doesn't have an extra layer of clothes to wear, but Xu Erlang ...... Although it can't be called three layers inside and three layers outside, there are at least two layers of clothes on the body, so it's strange not to cover the prickly heat.

On the contrary, he was not happy to let him wear less, as if she was trying to harm her.

Of course, now that she has been married for a few years, this habit has been broken by her to some extent. But she would have seizures again if she looked at it, so he had to wear dozens of underwear every year, and Jinniang also developed the habit of poking two stitches at any time when she was free.

was sewing clothes, Jin Niang heard Qinggu outside walk in and say, "A few young masters are here." ”

Jin Niang looked at the time, this time for a lunch break should also start. But in the past, didn't a few boys read in the yard after they got up, why did they run to Cuibai Garden now?

When Jin Niang was surprised, she saw a few boys coming in. Among the few tall and long-legged little brothers, there is also a short little bean Ding - no need to guess, it is Brother Rong.

Today, Brother Rong is resting, eating and studying with Changping, and she is not surprised to come together now. She was just suspicious, what was the excited expression on Brother Rong'er's face?

The next moment, I heard Changping rub his hands together with interest and say, "Auntie, we want to go out for a walk." I heard that there is a temple fair in Hezhou City today, so let's go over and see the excitement. ”

Jin Niang thought about it today, and there was indeed a temple fair. Hezhou is also similar to Pingyang, there is a temple fair on the fifteenth day of the first month, on this day, many people in the vicinity will take out the "rare things" in their hands to sell, and even the number of vendors on the street will increase; Some shops want to attract customers, and they will take advantage of these two days to dance the lion in front of the store.

She had seen it twice when she first came to Hezhou, and she hadn't been out much since then, so she had forgotten about it.
