Chapter 4 The Zhu Family's Old Mansion and Guan Long

Xing'er runs with Mrs. Ruyu almost every day, and never follows her mother, Mrs. Qingxuan, except for the fixed study time in the morning and afternoon, of course. Xing'er naturally likes housekeeping, so she has been following Ruyu's ears and eyes, which surprised Zhu Xun and her own mother Qingchan.

To say that Xiao Xing'er's appearance, although it is not shocking, but it can also be called the pole of Peugeot, and the heavenly court is full, the starry eyes are like can, the longer it is, the more it looks like Qingxuan, and there is more aura between the eyebrows than Qingxuan, this aura comes from a little cinnabar mole, which grows in the middle of the eyebrows impartially, and others also need to paint the decoration of peach and plum paintings, but Xing'er is at ease at this point.

Don't mention the looks, this is not the most brilliant place for the stars. Xing'er is now more than five years old, and what surprises everyone is that this little baby is good at learning the way of running a family, and has been a little proficient in business calculations. Abacus formulas, as well as ninety-nine songs, etc., come as soon as you open your mouth, and you can recite them backwards.

At first, Mrs. Ruyu was just amazed that the little baby followed her ass every day, and followed her empty-handed fiddling in the air, thinking that she was learning from her own appearance and had the right to play. But once, accounting expenses, I was careless, the abacus was one less dial, and the account was always not right, Xiao Xing'er sat aside, playing with Zhuge Lock, and reminded Ruyu that there was a little three on the hundred, which attracted the attention of Mrs. Ruyu and Zhu Xun.

At first, Zhu Xun heard Mrs. Ruyu say that Xing'er would fill in the account form, but he thought he had heard it wrong, and thought she was just having fun, so he asked it himself. He asked her a lot of arithmetic questions, and she answered them all in a milky voice, and Zhu Xun asked her what else would she do? She recited the ninety-nine song again, and also pointed out that Mrs. Ruyu calculates the accounts once a month, rounding up too many times, and a lot of money and food are missed, so it is better to calculate it once in three months and six months, and just keep the accounts every time, so that you don't have to check in and out repeatedly at the end of the year.

Zhu Xun saw her like this, and asked her if she could keep accounts and fill in the account grid? She picked up the pen and ticked the circle on the account book, thinking it was the fur, but she didn't expect that she filled in the correct way, but some words have not been learned and can't be written, so they are replaced by circles.

This, whether in the eyes of her family or outsiders, is simply a strange woman. Since then, Zhu Xun has sent Xing'er and Changxu Changrong to the public school to study, so that Xing'er can learn to read and write.

Since then, Mrs. Ruyu has also intentionally or unintentionally let Xing'er follow her, so that Xing'er can better understand the way of running a family and the way of controlling people, and more intentionally or unintentionally, let her drive people to train her.

Qingyan saw it in his eyes, and informed his mother's family of Xing'er's situation, and her mother's family was happy, and the old man Wan Qian specially repaired the book, informing his daughter and son-in-law, so that Xing'er could understand more things, but also told calligraphy, painting, piano and chess not to fall behind, although not to be outstanding, but to understand, needlework and thread red, although not to be fine, but to be able to afford it.

Zhu Xun, as the old man Wan Qi said in the book, has been constantly helping his daughter grow up, although the old man Wan Qi did not mention it in the letter, why do you have to know everything about Xing'er Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and female red, but Zhu Xun also vaguely felt the painstaking efforts of his father-in-law, what is the painstaking work of the old man Wan Qi? It is self-evident that it is to train Xing'er to become the descendant of the king and grandson, and to be able to support the mother of the family in the future. Zhu Xun agrees with this that his daughter will be a woman who holds everyone in the future. But who knows, the later Xing'er not only can run a family, but also support a huge family.

Time flies, Zhu Xun has been in Xingxian County for more than five years, and Zhu Xun has also reported his political achievements since taking office. Emperor Yude also inquired about Zhu Xun's inauguration, and praised the simple folk customs of Xingxian County under Zhu Xun's rule, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and did not close their doors at night and did not leave anything behind. He also wrote the "Zhuo Yi" plaque to reward Zhu Xun, and sent Yulin to carry the plaque of Zhu Xun to circumnavigate the capital and the prefectures and counties of Zhili Prefecture to show his praise for Zhu Xun, which is really a great imperial grace.

Zhu Xun received the imperial plaque from the emperor, although he was overjoyed, he was also more cautious as an official, and he did not dare to be negligent. This plaque was in Xingxian County after a month, only to belong to Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun ordered the plaque to be wrapped in oil paper, then wrapped in cotton cloth, put into a wooden box, and parked in the second hall.

"Little Liuzi, go and invite the two ladies to come." Zhu Xun's life.

After a while, Ruyu and Qingxuan entered the second hall together.

"Master, what is the matter with calling us here?" Mrs. Ruyu asked.

"Two ladies, please be seated." As he spoke, Zhu Xun made a gesture of "please".

"It's so late, please invite the two ladies to come because we have something to discuss."

The two ladies Ruyu and Qingxuan looked at each other, not knowing the reason.

"Last month, I received a letter from my father, saying that I was ready to go back to the home school for two years. I also got angry with the two fathers-in-law, the two fathers-in-law and the father's idea, first let the children go back to the old house to study in the home school for two years, lay a dozen foundations, and two years later, send them to Guanlong, and then learn the art of warp and weft. I was going to stay in Xu'er Rong'er for another month, but now the emperor's 'Zhuo Yi' plaque has arrived, and this plaque has now been displayed in the county government to expire, according to the law of Daxia, 'Zhuo Yi' is to be sent back to his hometown, glorious township, and enshrined for generations. Therefore, I think I would take the opportunity of sending the plaque to send Xu'er Rong'er back to her hometown. I wonder what the two ladies think? Saying that, Zhu Xun stroked his short beard.

"In this matter, the master is in charge." Mrs. Qingxuan spoke, and then looked at Ruyu.

"Yes, master, how the child is educated academically is all up to the master." Ruyu also attached. "......"

"What?"

Ruyu looked at Qing Can, who opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it. What Qingchan wants to say is that Ruyu understands herself.

"But, Xu'er is still old, Rong'er is inevitably younger, right?"

Qingxuan looked at Ruyu, and Ruyu was right in her mind.

"Ben also thinks it's still young, but the younger the reading, the better, and Xu'er Rong'er studies together, each other is a role model, each other has a companion, let's feel at ease. Besides, my father's letter repeatedly stated that he wanted his two grandchildren to go together. ”

"If that's the case, then let the elders arrange it."

"Good. The matter of Xu'er and Rong'er was settled. ”

"Okay." Such as jade and Qing Xuanying.

"I summoned the two ladies here, but there is another matter. Uh......" Zhu Xun seemed to think about how to speak.

"If you have something to say, it's better to say it clearly."

"The day before yesterday, Guan Long's father-in-law's letter arrived, asking me to send Xing'er to Guan Long and hand it over to my mother-in-law in person, I think it's better to send it together. Rongyuan is still young, so he will stay with us for the time being, and it will be the same in the future. Zhu Xun said a little embarrassed.

"Master, Xing'er is a girl's family, so it's better to stay with us for a while longer." Mrs. Ruyu looked at Qing Xuan and begged.

"Yes, master, Xing'er is still young, a girl's family, how can we rest assured that we will be sent to Guan Long's house all the way? Thinking of my mother, teaching people is the most strict, and Xing'er probably can't stand it. ”

Mrs. Qing, who knows her mother best, in terms of teaching her children, Mrs. Wan Qi is the most strict, she has been taught by her mother for many years, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and female red, but she has also suffered a lot. Although I know that these things that my daughter's family should know, sooner or later I have to let Xing'er learn it, but I don't want my daughter to suffer again.

"However, my father-in-law has already written twice to urge me. The letter the day before yesterday also said that someone would be sent to pick up ...... in a few days" Zhu Xun twisted his beard again, and his face was embarrassed.

"Xing'er, Sister Qingxuan came to teach qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and still went to public school, it is not easy to come to such a young age, and then go to Guan Long's house...... I'm afraid the child won't be able to bear it. ”

"This ......" Zhu Xun was embarrassed.

"Master, I have been raised by my mother since I was a child, and even how strict my mother taught her children, it is impossible to say that I have no selfishness, I was seven or eight years old when my mother taught me, but Xing'er was only five years old, so ...... I can't bear it. As she spoke, Mrs. Qingwan sobbed slightly.

"Madam, Xing'er is smart and clever, this father-in-law and mother-in-law know, and want to cultivate Xing'er to become a talent, I think the two ladies also understand, it should be said that Guan Long's family also has high hopes for Xing'er, so they are so concerned and want to raise and teach Xing'er from an early age. The prosperity of the family depends not only on men, but also on girls, and the two ladies must also know it. The imperial court since the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, began to reuse the clear stream, the previous relied on the Guanlong Gate Valve clan, the clear stream after two dynasties of the emperor, to have today's status, think I Zhu Xun is also a clear stream, and the second lady's family is the first scholar, throughout the court, as in my family, across the door valve and the clear stream of the other, there is no other home, so, Xing'er, Changxu Changrong Changyuan, the future is the important place of Zhu, Weng, Wan Qi's family, since the children will take the lead in the future, take on the family responsibility, then we must be strict from an early age, do not slack off. ”

Zhu Xun made it clear and clear about the child's cultivation and the family's hope for the future, but Ruyu and Qingxuan had complicated expressions on their faces, and the old man was right.

"Sister, although I am reluctant to Xing'er, but, I think what the master said is very right, your mother's family and our family are the mainstay of the clear stream, although my Wan Qian family is the Guanlong gate valve, but it has always been only the last rank of the scholar family, and the status in the gate valve has never been high, most of the time, it depends on the face of the eldest grandson family, the Guo family and the Xun family of other people's families, and the decision of major events is also to be subject to the Wang family. My father once said that only when my Wanqi family and Qingliu support each other can we grow up in the future, and the most beneficial people from the prosperity of the family are our children. Sister, I'm willing Xing'er to go. Saying that, Mrs. Qingyan's eyes were filled with tears, and she turned her face away.

"My sister understands righteousness, okay, I also agreed to send Xing'er to Guan Long's house, and I would like to thank my mother for her **." Ruyu clenched Qingxuan's hands.

"Good! I want to see how I can Zhu Xun and get these two virtuous ladies who understand righteousness. Please be a husband! With the help of two good wives, why worry about the family! Zhu Xun sighed one after another and bowed to the ground.

"I'm so polite." Ruyu and Qingxuan hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Helping Zhu Xun up, Ruyu discussed with Qing Xuan how to settle the three children. In the end, the result of the discussion, Qing Xuan stayed at home to take care of Changyuan and take care of the master, Ruyu took the son of Xiao Liuzi and Zhang's mother, and sent Changxu Changrong back to the old house of the Zhu family. The matter of sending the plaque, Zhu Xun handed it over to his henchman Master Qin to escort, and this time back and forth, he also took care of Ruyu and ensured that there was no mistake.

And since Xing'er has someone from Guan Long's family to pick him up, he must be very thoughtful. Here, Feng's mother took the little girl she bought for Xing'er a few years ago, and went to Guanlong with Xing'er, and she stayed to serve Xing'er in the future, and sent Feng's mother to go, in addition to being proper, but also letting Xing'er have someone to take care of from home, so she didn't have to worry about it, in addition, the climate in Guanlong was better, and Feng's mother was old, and she also had the meaning of sending her over to care for the elderly.

After the husband and wife discussed, they gathered the people and arranged all the affairs, and Ruyu Qingxuan also prepared their own bags and belongings for the children.
