Everyone put everything together with extremely complicated feelings, but Mingyue proposed to buy new clothes for the four of them and arrange the study.

“... We can't afford to wear silk, but coarse cloth can never be worn again. Everyone in the world respects the clothes first and then respects the people, if our family doesn't have that condition, it's just that, since there is, then we can't let my brother and them can't hold their heads up in front of their classmates. I think we might as well buy three sets of muslin clothes for each of my brother and them, and all the shoes and socks should be ready. ”

Old Man Ming nodded, "It's this reason, you can't let the children show their timidity as soon as they come to the county." ”

Mrs. Ming also nodded when she heard this, "Then this matter is settled." After the holidays, my eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law and I made clothes for several children. ”

Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan wanted to object, but Mingyue scared the words that had come to their mouths back into their stomachs with a single eye knife.

"Then there's the fact that I want to set up a study for my eldest brother and them." Mingyue pointed to the east wing of the courtyard where they were temporarily staying, "I see that the south wing of the east wing is not small, and it can fit a larger desk and two bookshelves against the wall." ”

The room that Mingyue said should have been used as a study by the original owner of the house, because the kang that Mingyue saw in that room was unusually narrow, almost half the size of the kang in the north room of the east wing.

The ordinary kang can lie down for more than a dozen people vertically, but the kang can only lie horizontally, and it can only lie down to a maximum of four people, obviously just to let the people in the study take a nap on it at noon.

"Look at the arrangement, what do you want to buy and let your milk give you money." What the old man values most now is the great cause of the imperial examination for several children in the family, and setting up a study room, as long as Mingyue mentions it, he will never object.

As the head of the family, he didn't object, and the others naturally wouldn't object, so the matter was settled so smoothly.

When Mingyue's goal was achieved, she suddenly smiled.

She turned her eyes to Ming Xu and the others, "Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, Jiayan, everything that the family can do for you has been done for you, and the next thing is up to you." ”

Ming Xu and the others all had serious faces, and Ming Xu was the first to say, "Don't worry, we will definitely study hard and win glory for our family." ”

Erlang and the others also expressed their determination.

Mingyue listened with a smile, and waited until the relief of the elders in the family passed, Mingyue continued with a smile, "It is necessary to study hard, but you can't read yourself into a nerd who is not diligent and does not distinguish between right and wrong just because you study hard." This is the first one, you have to continue to do the work that you should do, and you must not give up or slack off on the fist and foot kung fu you practiced before. ”

Xie Shi wanted to speak and stopped.

Mrs. Ming handed over a look, and Xie Shi resolutely shut up.

Mingyue pretended not to see the eyebrow lawsuit between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and when she saw Mingxu and the four nodding, she winked at the four of them with a sly face, "This second one, it's too thin-skinned, and it's even more important to be pedantic." ”

"When we go to a new place, it's normal to be snubbed or even excluded, the accent you speak, the way you dress, the way you walk, sit and lie down, even the way you hold the chopsticks and the pen, your subtle expression, as long as others want to find fault with you, then you must have something to be picked on. You can't afford to be presumptuous. ”

"You have to remember that it's not your fault that you just grew up in a different environment and received a different education than each other, and you don't have to bend your back for these things. What they have learned in the last ten or twenty years, you will definitely learn in the next ten or twenty years, all you need is a little time. As long as you can stabilize yourself and deal with it calmly, then other people's gossip will naturally not affect you. ”

Mingcheng has a proud face - his daughter is smart! It's the atmosphere! It's better to see than anyone else!

"Of course, if someone is not satisfied with just a few words of gossip, but starts to bully you even more, then it is necessary for you to defend yourself or fight back. As for how to defend oneself and how to fight back, I will just say one word, pay attention to proportion, and know how to turn corners in your brain. Don't be too pedantic, don't be too sincere, and of course you can't always be straightforward, you can teach them specific words. ”

Mingdi's eyes widened, his niece is instigating his brothers to be yin, cheating, and fighting with others?

He glanced at Old Man Ming, and saw that Old Man Ming listened attentively, and did not raise any objections to Mingyue's words, so he had to silently swallow this question back into his stomach.

"This third rule, habits can be changed, but the mind cannot be crooked. It's like there are both good and bad people in our village, and the same is true in this county. Whoever learns and who does not learn, you must know in your own hearts. If anyone dares to his tail, if the good ones don't learn from the bad ones, if they are expelled from the house or if they break their legs, you choose one for yourselves. ”

Mingyue's expression was cold, her eyes were like knives, and she was so frightened that she shuddered.

Ming Xu, Erlang and Yu Jiayan were not frightened, but the three of them were very cooperative and lowered their heads and did not speak-they couldn't dismantle Mingyue's platform, otherwise this girl could torture them so much that they couldn't survive or die, and it would definitely make them uncomfortable more than expelling them from the house or breaking their legs.

"Mingyue said it very well, you must keep in mind what she told you." Old Man Ming said and raised his hand and patted San Lang's head, "If anyone walks down the road, don't need Mingyue, your master and I will break his two legs with my own hands." ”

San Lang wants to cry without tears - master, just say it, why are you filming me? It almost scared the hell out of me.

Old Man Ming didn't know what San Lang was slandering him, he glanced at his eldest granddaughter with great relief, "In the future, if you and Da Lang look at Erlang and their little ones, your lord and your uncle, your father, and your third uncle will be able to worry less." ”

Jiro: ......

Erlang wanted to say, "Master, I'm big, Mingyue is small..."

Mingtang was at a loss, did he have any thoughts? Isn't it always Old Man Ming and his eldest brother and second brother who are worried about?

***

After arranging the study room shared by Ming Xu and others, they sent two boxes of snacks to the neighbors on the left and right, as well as the neighbors on the opposite side and the neighbors on the opposite side, and ate and drank in the county seat for two days, watched the lanterns, and the members of the Ming family took a mule cart to their two Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the county.

Old Man Ming, Ming Di, Ming Cheng and Ming Yue took everyone to read all the two Zhuangzi, and Mrs. Ming and the others were satisfied and returned to Wulitun with a large bag and a small package.

Ming Xu, Erlang, San Lang and Yu Jiayan, who were going to study in the academy soon, did not go back to Wulitun with the large army, and Mingyue, a busy man, was left behind with them.

On the second day after sending Mrs. Ming and the others away, she was accompanied by Ming Xu to find Sun Yaren, who had cooperated with the Ming family before.
