It's a good feeling that everything is running automatically, except for a little episode like Xiao Hong'er now, everything is great.

By the time of October, she would take Yun and go to the capital, and some things had to be prepared earlier.

In September, the cotton will be harvested, and everything must be accounted for by then.

After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, Li Qing beckoned the two babies to eat, there was no rule of eating and sleeping on the Jiang family's dinner table, and Yun and Monk Xuan were talking with great interest about their recent situation about learning.

Listening to their tone, it seems that they have gone to the next level.

"Mother, when will you be able to go back to Shilitang to live with us?" Yun Ji asked, swallowing the dish in his mouth.

"Yes, yes, Aunt Qing, when will I go back?"

Although it is very convenient to take a boat from Shilitang, it also takes a long time, so it is not very convenient to think about it.

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "Wait a few days for me to finish dealing with the little things at hand, and I'll come back and stay with you." ”

"Really?" Yun Ji didn't believe it very much, and asked with his head tilted.

"That's nature, when did I lie to you?" Li Qing couldn't laugh or cry. "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." Then Li Qing gave the two babies a few chopsticks and dishes.

Guan Shangxuan took a spoonful of soup and drank it quietly.

The two of them are not as noisy as before, since they were admitted to Xiucai, he began to look at his future life under the guidance of his grandfather.

was already a few years older than Yun Ji, and it was impossible to play for a few more years, and gaining fame was his only way out. His father, Guan Feihong, took the provincial exam last year and won the third place, and is preparing for the Ministry of Rites exam next spring. And he passed the Xiucai exam again this year, and he will take the provincial exam in two years, when he was sixteen years old, if he didn't win, he would be nineteen years old next time.

So you have to work hard, once you miss, you have another chance.

If he does not reach the age of nineteen, he must marry a wife and have children, leaving offspring for the housekeeper. These were his grandfather's exact words.

In contrast, Yun Ji was much luckier than him. Yunhe is ten years old this year, and he can take the provincial exam at the age of twelve, and if he doesn't win, he will only be fifteen years old next time.

What's more, according to Yun Ji's current situation, it seems that he no longer needs to take the imperial examination to become an official, as long as he passes the prodigy assessment of the Ministry of Rites.

So, what kind of human suffering is this?

My younger brother actually ascended to the sky in one step, and then he was still working hard on the exam, and he had to study hard.

Guan Shangxuan was quite uncomfortable, but so what? Everything is nothing but the creation of the individual. The clouds are like this, and that is his creation.

Xiao Hong'er stood next to the sink, Zhou He ignored her, Guo Luoshi was guarding the stove, Zhou Yongchang and Xiaoer were at the front door, and Zhou Huai was guarding at the back door, she couldn't run away and couldn't eat.

What's more, her dignity does not allow her to eat what Li Qing has here. Xiao Hong'er glanced at the three people who were eating in the courtyard from time to time, and she now felt a little bit like she was not a human being inside and out.

Wen Qin abandoned her, she had some resentment in her heart, but she loved Wen Qin more than resentment, because it was Wen Qin who made her see the world beyond the water, and it was impossible for her to leave Wen Qin

Li Qing sat on the right, and he saw Xiao Hong'er who occasionally came out clearly. She doesn't expect a pathogen to be able to rehabilitate, of course, since Xiao Hong'er has fallen into her own hands, it is impossible to withstand the storm.

As for Xiao Hong'er and his father, Li Qing said that he was not afraid.

She has the support of the imperial court behind her, and the forces behind Xiao Hong'er do not dare to confront the imperial court at all.

Li Qing saw this very clearly.

If they dare to form a force to compete with the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely not let them go. Besides, since you dare to blatantly use her hands to wash white, you have to pay a price, don't you?

If Xiao Hong'er can't even see this clearly, then her IQ is really low to the extreme.

Xiao Hong'er touched her belly, she was really hungry. She touched the two taels of silver in the hidden pocket of her sleeve and decided not to move it. This is Wen Qin's silver, and she wants to keep it. She just watched the three people in the yard solve two dishes and one soup, and she was still hungry, and she was getting hungrier and hungrier.

What an unwillingness!

Ah Yuan helped Li Qing put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Ah Yuan didn't want Li Qing to do the rest of the things, and Li Qing was happy to see it, without the slightest sense of guilt for using child labor.

This is the way of the world, Li Qing disdains to be an alternative.

After dinner, the three of them chatted in the courtyard, so unhappy.

It wasn't until dusk that the shop closed.

Dinner was made by the chef, and according to the usual routine, Li Qing took the children to eat with everyone. No one mentioned Xiao Hong'er for half a word, as long as Li Qing didn't speak, everyone kept their mouths shut and didn't ask Xiao Hong'er to eat.

Xiao Hong'er was very aggrieved, she squatted in the corner of the warehouse, hugged her knees and cried. She felt as if the whole world had abandoned her, and she had nothing but the two taels of silver in her palm.

Attentive Yun He noticed that Xiao Hong'er didn't seem to be among the meals.

"Mother, why doesn't that Xiao lady eat?"

Guan Shangxuan also said: "I saw that Mrs. Xiao didn't do anything today, but Aunt Qing said that she was new, why is this?" ”

Everyone else lowered their heads to pick up the rice, only Li Qing smiled and said: "That Xiao Niangzi made some mistakes before, this is a punishment for her, until now she has not come to her senses, don't pay attention to it." ”

"But mother, will she starve to death?"

"How so? If a person has no food or water, he will be exhausted for three days, and if he has water without food for seven days, he will not be able to eat for one day. ”

"Oh." Hearing what his mother said, Yun Ji also ate obediently.

If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and it will be defined according to the seriousness of the situation, and if you don't eat, the mistake must be very serious. Therefore, Yun Ji has no objection to his mother's decision.

Xiao Hong'er heard Li Qing's words clearly in the warehouse, and she wanted to come out and shout, but she didn't dare. Li Qing didn't arrange a place for her to live, and she stayed on the pyre in the warehouse all night. It's the end of May, and it's still cool. It wasn't until the second half of the night that Xiao Hong'er gradually fell asleep, but before dawn, she was woken up by the cold.

"You're awake."

"Hell!"

Xiao Hong'er was so startled by this sudden greeting that she crawled down from the pyre.

"Don't panic, it's me." Li Qing stood in front of Xiao Hong'er lightly. She also woke up and came to see Xiao Hong'er on a whim, but she didn't want to scare people.

Tsk, what a sin for her!

"What are you doing here?" Listening to Xiao Hong'er's tone, she seemed to have a deep fear of Li Qing.

"Who said I came to see you? I'm just here to see the rice I put here yesterday to make fried rice this morning. ”

Li Qing walked over, about a wooden barrel, through the faint light of the dawn, you can see the white flower particles inside.
