Changhui was cheated by his father, and the whole person was about to shut himself up.

He and his brother usually don't study much, but they missed classes for two months, and they have to catch up in half a month.

Is this a human officer?

It's not!

Not to mention that it's still the New Year, the big guys are going to eat, drink and have fun, but he is bitter and has to sleep three more and five times to endorse and copy books, why is his life so bitter?

Changhui frowned, trying to reason with his unreasonable father. "The New Year will be in two days, and the house is too noisy for me to learn."

Xu Erlang said, "There are still a few vacant courtyards in the outer courtyard, let someone clean them up for you tonight, burn the earth dragon, and don't delay your class tomorrow." Don't worry about someone arguing with you, Dad will try to find you a remote yard without annoying you. ”

Changhui took a deep breath, "But during the Chinese New Year, I still have to follow my father to worship my ancestors, I have to follow my father to entertain guests, and I have to visit some uncles and uncles, which delays my study time a lot." If I don't interrupt my studies, otherwise I won't be able to learn a little today and tomorrow, and I will definitely not be able to learn in my heart. ”

"Makes sense." When Xu Erlang said this, Changhui was overjoyed, but before his smile could rise to his eyebrows, he heard his father say again, "Then this year's New Year, you don't want to accompany your father to entertain guests; You don't have to worry about visiting your uncle or uncle's house. With Brother Rong and Changzhou here, it's enough, it doesn't hurt if you go or not. ”

Changhui's heart ached, and he felt personally attacked by his father. But he had no proof......

Changhui racked his brains and found another reason not to go to class during the New Year, his eyes were bright, and he said to his father, "But even if I am free, the two masters may not be free." They have wives and children at home, and they must be very busy during the Chinese New Year. The two masters never dare to slack off on the dedication to my brother and me's teaching, but now that the Chinese New Year is over, I want them to rest and rest, so that they can meet relatives and friends. ”

Xu Erlang bowed his head lightly, "It makes sense." Without waiting for Changhui to say anything, he had already said again, "But your Liu Fuzi resigned earlier and wanted to go home to his parents to support his parents, and my father agreed after thinking about it." You, Master Liu, were worried about the homework of the two of you, so he recommended his junior brother Sun Fuzi to his father, who had just won the promotion this year, and it was more than enough to teach you. ”

The light in Changhui's eyes gradually dimmed, if he still reacted at this time, this is his father who has calculated him a long time ago and wants to give him hardship, then he will be worthy of being the son of the commander.

But the reason for the Chinese New Year to pressure people to read?

Changhui struggled at the end, "The new master didn't know if he had taught the students before, and he didn't know if he could teach a good class. Besides, he is not our master, and his teaching methods may not be acceptable to the children. ”

Xu Erlang touched Changhui's head, "You are so smart, how can you not understand what the master taught?" That gentleman has never taught a student, but his father has better studied him, and your Liu Fuzi has also taught him teaching skills, and even told him about your progress. ”

Xu Erlang patted his son's little brain, and said with encouragement on his face, "Study hard, and strive to catch up with the classes in Changzhou after the Lantern Festival, and then you two brothers can still attend classes together." ”

Changhui directly lowered his head and pillowed his head on the table.

He didn't want to study, he didn't want to go to class, he didn't want to recognize his father.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh when they saw the bloodless "war of words" between the father and son. But look at Changhui's pity, they didn't laugh too rampantly, otherwise this kid would really be autistic.

When the New Year came, Liaodong commanded the palace to have a full number of guests every day. In addition to dignitaries, there are also wealthy businessmen.

These people didn't know where they got the letter, and they all rushed to congratulate Xu Erlang when they knew that Xu Erlang was going to be promoted. It's always bad for the guests to come to the door, but even if they pick and choose a lot, there are still a few thick invitations waiting for "pampering" in their hands.

Seeing people is not the most tiring, the key is to be tired of etiquette.

Jin Niang turned around and told Xu Erlang about this, and provoked Xu Erlang to make fun of her.

How did Jin Niang not know what Xu Erlang was laughing at her?

She also felt that she was hypocritical.

I've never heard of "gift-giving" being tiring, but I've never heard anyone complain that "receiving gifts" makes people uncomfortable.

But this is really not Jin Niang's hypocrisy, she is worried.

The Nanzhu and Dongzhu sent by those giant businessmen and wealthy people are all packed in boxes, and the jade and jade and complete sets of valuable heads are also given away in a box, and then there are those who send houses, shops, good horses, and shares of commercial banks...... So far, there has been no beauty to be sent, and I am afraid that the officials and businessmen of the entire Liaodong know that their commander is a rake ear, so they dare not send some warblers and Yanyan to obstruct the eyes of the commander's wife. Otherwise, I'm afraid that someone in the house will send a beautiful woman who captivates the country and the city every day.

But even if there are no beauties, those priceless treasures are enough to shock Jinniang.

If someone investigates corruption and bribery, Xu Erlang will definitely be tricked.

Although Jin Niang is now a lady from the third grade, she is still a small citizen in her heart. As a person of the Great Celestial Empire, it is absolutely undesirable to accept bribes and large sums of ill-gotten gains.

Jin Niang was in a panic all day long, but Xu Erlang, after reading those gift lists, asked Jin Niang to put away the things in a single order.

Jin Niang immediately understood what Xu Erlang meant, and felt that she was preparing to send things to His Majesty.

But then again, since there is one more iron mine in Hezhou, and another gold mine has been discovered in the past two years, His Majesty can now be very generous. It is said that the adults are no longer fighting for money in the court because of the unfair distribution of money. Because there is more money, even if the Ministry of Industry is given some to repair the river embankment, the Ministry of War to replace some new weapons, and the Ministry of Households to use for disaster relief, there is still a surplus.

I heard that at least one million taels of silver are allocated in the treasury every month. In comparison, the congratulatory gifts Xu Erlang received this New Year's Day, even if they were all converted into cash, were only more than 100,000 taels, which was not enough to see at all.

But Xu Erlang just doesn't want to see it!

His Majesty doesn't take this silver in his eyes, but also values Xu Erlang's ability, and wants to reuse him, so he knows with his toes that this thing will still fall into Xu Erlang's hands in the end.

This...... That's high!

All of a sudden, the bribe-accepted silver crossed the clear road, and cut off the worries of being attacked later; can also leave an impression of "loyal ministers" and "clean officials" in Emperor Yunwen; Another point is that after receiving the silver, these officials and businessmen in Liaodong officialdom and shopping malls all feel that they have a good relationship with Xu Erlang, and they will definitely obey Xu Erlang's instructions as soon as possible...... It's a pity that Xu Erlang is about to leave Liaodong, otherwise he would definitely be more comfortable in Liaodong.

Jin Niang gave a thumbs up and gave Xu Erlang a "scheming" and "I'm not as good as you" comment. Xu Erlang looked at her and smiled, responded to her praise very happily, and said seriously, "I shouldn't look at Chang'an and say goodbye, and prepare some dowry gifts for a few children in advance." ”

Jin Niang gave him a roll of his eyes, how many years have he been a husband and wife, and no one knows who to beat. You are white on the outside, but black on the inside.

also made an excuse that it was for Chang'an Changping, Chang'an Changping is indeed not young, and it is indeed time to say goodbye. But the two boys are angry, and they have already said that they don't need us to help prepare the dowry, okay.

Seventy percent of the Xufu industry given to them earlier, Chang'an Changping is doing very well. When they were young, Xu Erlang secretly helped them, but when they were older, Xu Erlang didn't interfere at all. But staring is still staring, so whether it is Jin Niang or Xu Erlang, they all know that since two years ago, the business under the name of Chang'an Changping has become even bigger. In particular, they also recruited some soldiers who returned from the barracks and started a business of selling goods from Jiangnan to the northwest, which can be said to have made a lot of money.

Moreover, I don't know if it's "good luck", when the two returned to their hometown to participate in the Autumn Festival, they also accidentally saved a young patriarch of the grassland tribe, and the northwest grassland opened the door to them, and the two were also ready to continue to do business in the north, like Jinniang, and sell the goods in the south of the Yangtze River to the northwest grassland.

Chang'an Changping only felt that they were lucky, but Jin Niang and Xu Erlang knew that Xu Dalang's handwriting was among them.

Anyway, no matter what, Chang'an Changping definitely doesn't need them to help him when he marries a wife. The two of them have a lot of money in their hands, and in turn, they also pay a lot of filial piety to Jinniang.

Therefore, they all began to collect filial piety money from their nephews, and at this time they also said that the purpose of giving money was to marry their nephews' daughters-in-law, and you didn't blush when you lied.

Jin Niang squinted Xu Erlang's eyes, Xu Erlang laughed, and carried her to bed to rest.

In the midst of a busy schedule, it was soon the Lantern Festival. On this day, Changhui finally made up for the homework he owed earlier, and was able to come out to play with his brothers and sisters, and he was so excited that he couldn't cry three cylinders of tears first.

It's not easy! It's not easy for him to be a real wife!!

He made up for the books that his brother had studied for two months in half a month, so you can imagine how he spent this half month.

He really managed to get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs. Every day, I practice calligraphy until my arms tremble, and I am still reciting in my dreams. He lost five pounds in half a month, and now he has a thick layer of blue and black. Now that he has finally completed the task, Changhui happily wants to run out to play with him for an all-night celebration, but God is pitiful, he just wants to lie in bed and sleep well.

"It's so pathetic!" Brother Rong and Xiao Yu'er sighed in unison.

Changzhou also said with emotion, "No, poor me, I want to thank him." If he hadn't defended the law, I would have known that some excessive things really can't be done. Otherwise, maybe when I stepped on my father's bottom line, I would have to be cleaned up like this. ”

Changle listened happily, "Then after seeing Changhui's tragic situation now, you will definitely not make mistakes in the future." ”

Changzhou nodded and shook his head, "Mistakes must be made, after all, I am not a saint, how can I not make mistakes?" It's just that mistakes can be made, but don't do them when you die. Otherwise, they will all fall into his fate, and I will feel sorry for myself first. ”

Changhui listened to the words of his brothers and sisters, his eyes were hot, and he felt like crying even more.

These people were talking cool things, but none of them thought of comforting him. What kind of clinker brothers and sisters are this, he doesn't want anymore.

Changqi saw his brother's embarrassment, took his hand and said, "Brother, go to sleep, don't play today, otherwise if you go out like this, others will think that your father and mother have abused you." ”

Changhui ...... Put away his care, he never wants to see his sister again, a creature who can only stick a knife.

Changzhou is also very pitiful, and he also helps with bad ideas, "If you can't sleep, let Mama light you a requiem incense." That way you can sleep a little longer. Otherwise, according to your previous routine, I am afraid that you will sleep until the third watch and wake up to endorse the book, which will be very funny. ”

Is it funny? It's not funny at all! I think you guys are funny!

In the end, Changhui pushed his brother and sister out the door, took off his clothes, and crawled into bed to catch up on sleep.

Daddy is really ruthless, and he didn't feel distressed when he saw him so miserable before. Not to mention giving him some homework exemptions or releasing water on his homework, he also had to check his large characters and recitation in person.

Changhui has been cheated by his father countless times, and he can't say anything more if he pleads. He turned to ask his mother for help, and he was affectionate and reasonable, letting her know that his body would not be able to stand it under high pressure after eating hot tofu in a hurry, which would affect his healthy growth. The mother was obviously about to be moved by him, but she quickly pretended not to hear.

Father and mother are unreliable, brothers and sisters are unreliable, and sisters are ...... Can't rely on it.

Changhui bowed to his bitter tears again, drilled his head down, and buried himself in the quilt to prepare for sleep.

But turning it over and over, he just couldn't sleep. Remembering his brother's words before, he reluctantly called his grandmother to come in, and asked them to help light the soothing incense, and this time he quickly fell asleep.

When the people of Jinniang heard that Changhui was asleep, they decided to ignore him, and they went out for a walk.

This is the last Lantern Festival in Hezhou, so you have to take a good stroll around to be enough.

Jin Niang and Xu Erlang were together, Changle, Xiao Yu'er and Brother Rong were not light bulbs, and the three of them left with the grandmothers and guards in the house. It's Changzhou and Changqi, the two want to follow their brothers and sisters, but they are reluctant to leave their parents. They first said that they wanted to play with their mother, but when they saw that the three of Changle quickly walked away, they began to regret it again, and immediately let go of Jinniang's hand and ran over to keep up.

Jin Niang watched a few children disappear into the lights, and then asked Xu Erlang, "Send a few more people to keep an eye on it, but don't have an accident." ”

"Don't worry, Mohe is watching them personally, and there will be no accidents."

Mohe also returned to Rivers State a few years ago. Earlier, Xu Erlang started from the horse farm that Pian Pian received and asked Mohe to go to the northwest to find Xu Dalang in person. In the past two years, I have faintly touched some traces of Xu Ao, but he has always fallen short at the last moment.

After a long time, Xu Erlang also knew that the eldest brother really didn't want to see them at this time, so he transferred Mohe back a year ago.

Mohe is steady, and he is very safe with a few children, and Jin Niang is relieved.

However, Jin Niang was relieved too early.

She didn't want to think about it, no matter how capable Mohe was, it was always one person, but Changle and them were five children. It's okay if everyone is in one place, and it's convenient to take care of it, but if it's separated, who can Mohe take care of?

Changle and Xiao Yu'er were left alone in this situation, but Mohe chased Changqi at the moment, and he didn't care about them at all.
