Chapter 169: Don't Be Like You Lao Tzu
The old man can be said to be loving and angry with this grandson, and there is nothing he can do.
Without it, this grandson is too smart, nine months can speak, one year old can memorize poems, two years old can follow him to squat and step to practice boxing, five years old is interested in military books, literacy and writing practice martial arts are much better than peers, ten years old with the Confucian debate shocked the capital, it can be said that the all-round talent of civil and military affairs, is a well-known prodigy. The old woman and the eldest daughter-in-law both wanted him to learn to be the champion of the literary examination, but the kid was not here, and he was determined to be a marshal since he was a child to protect his family and defend the country...... Not to mention that his family spoiled him, even the emperor and the present day liked him very much......
This eldest grandson is good at everything, but he has a twisted temper and is a little deviant. He made up his mind, not to mention the nine cows, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu couldn't pull it back.
One of the worst is the issue of marriage, no matter whether the girl is good or not, don't want what the family says, and don't want the queen mother to refer to. said that he must find his favorite daughter-in-law, but he really couldn't find it, so he waited until he was twenty-nine years old and then set it with his family. The girls were all closed in the mansion door, and he knew who could make him fall in love?
It's infuriating. If it were other sons and grandsons, they would have slapped their fists, sticks, and whips together, but they were reluctant to fight this eldest grandson.
The old man complained in his heart about the law, why does it stipulate that "if the female parents do not marry twenty and the male thirty parents do not marry, the chief will be matched with ......"
If you set the man to be more than twenty years old, that stinky boy will marry a daughter-in-law last year.
It's a long time to wait eight years......
The old man sat in the study and sulked for a long time before he got up weakly and went back to the house to rest.
In the evening, Zeng Qingqing and Zeng Lizhang came to the courtyard where Xia Li lived as guests and brought them gifts. Send Xia Li four silk fans, Xia Ju two brushes, two pine smoke ink, and some food.
The gift given by Liu Changzhao has been brought by the girl before, which is some food in the provincial capital and a set of colorful porcelain tea bowls. The white-bottomed red fish and a few green aquatic plants are very elegant and beautiful.
Xia Li Darkle, those two cousins are quite similar, and they like to give tea sets as gifts.
She liked this set of tea bowls very much, so she took them out and served them to guests. The tea is also the tip of Huaxiang Peak provided by Yefu, and the leaf soup is green and fragrant.
For some reason, Xia Ju always felt that he seemed to know the real family of Hanjiang Mansion before. I thought about it again, maybe I remembered it wrongly, and it seemed that I knew someone with a fake surname...... Oh, it's not right, my sister specially taught him to recognize and write some words in the "Hundred Family Names", including Zhen, Zeng, Jia, Ye and Bai, Xia and Qiu, Chun, not true and false, night and white......
Anyway, he liked the Zeng family sisters and brothers very much, talked to them with a smile, and let the bear-like perform various programs for them to see, so happy that Zeng Lizhang scratched his ears and cheeks, and said that he hated to meet Xia Ju late, and he was a friend who forgot the year.
The sky was drizzling, and the few of them moved from the yard to the eaves to play with Dangdang and the bears. Familiar, the bear also became intimate with them. They fed it food, and when they saw that their sister did not object, they opened their mouths to take it.
After playing for a while, Zeng Lizhang said, "Sister Xia, when will you catch a sunbird for me again, the previous sunbird was given to a friend in Beijing by my father." ”
actually called her "sister", and didn't call herself "master" anymore, I don't know if it's the charm of the bear or the charm of the sunbird.
Xia Li smiled embarrassedly, "Sunbirds are hard to find, and I still owe Liu Gongzi one." ”
Zeng Lizhang said very generously, "Don't worry, after you return Cousin Liu's one, you will arrest me." ”
It is said that sunbirds are as easy to catch as water ducks. Xia Li had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Later, Zeng Qingqing found the arrow target hanging on the wall and asked Xia Li to shoot arrows.
Xia Li saw that the rain was not heavy, so he got up and stood under the eaves and shot a few arrows, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye.
Zeng Qingqing felt that Xia Li's archery posture was particularly good-looking, and pestered her to teach. Some of the eunuchs in Hangang Province held banquets, and the ladies performed their talents, and occasionally some performed archery.
It is said that the noble ladies of the capital are more enthusiastic about archery than horse riding and keju. Zeng Qingqing felt that if he shot arrows in this posture, no matter how well he shot or not, at least he would be different and attract the attention of others.
She said, "I also want to ask Cousin Ye for a set of bows and arrows and a target, and practice every day like Sister Xia." ”
She is more than two months younger than Xia Li. When I saw her at Yixiang Restaurant last year, Xia Li was shorter than her. And now, Xia Li's height has surpassed her.
Xia Li took her three-fingered gloves and taught her archery hand in hand.
Xia sat alone in the bedroom sighing, and was even more upset when he heard the chuckles and whispers outside. She didn't want Xia to get too close to the children of these big officials, especially the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family, she always felt that she shouldn't get too close, but there was no way.
When it was time for dinner, the Zeng brothers and sisters were still having fun, and Xia Li left them here to eat, and both of them happily agreed.
Xia Li asked Zhu Er's family to take a tael of silver to the kitchen, and asked them to get a few more good dishes.
I wish the two families and the two girls to bring food, there are many dishes and they are very exquisite, and a table is full. Zhu Erjia quietly returned the silver to Xia Li, and said in a low voice, "The kitchen originally prepared a guest meal for Miss Zeng and Fourth Master Zeng, and said that I didn't want silver." ”
After dinner, the drizzle was still falling.
When the Zeng siblings were about to say goodbye, a girl came to invite her, saying that the old man was in the pavilion next to the garden, and asked Xia Ju to take Dangdang and Xiong to play.
When they heard this, they went together with Dangdang and the bear.
Lao Guocheng was talking to Liu Changzhao, "Shame, you are so unhappy that I didn't invite you to dinner?" Widows and orphans in other people's families, how can you invite this offspring to dinner. ”
Liu Changzhao's face was a little red, and he still said stubbornly, "Why can't you go, when her house was in the countryside, my cousin and I went to eat many times." Oh, my cousin has been there more than I did. ”
The old man snorted coldly, "That's the two of you who have thick skin, and you insist on going, and people can still kick you out?" He glanced at him twice, and said, "Little Miss Xia is a good child, your family will not agree, don't provoke her, that will hurt her." ”
Liu Changzhao's face was as red as a peony in the garden, and he pouted and said, "That's a little girl, I'm the same as my cousin, I just like to eat her cooking, where is what Grandpa Ye said." ”
Lao Guogong shook his head and said, "My gluttonous boy must simply like to eat the dishes made by that girl, you, don't be like you Lao Tzu." ”
Thinking sadly in his heart, if his own kid didn't just like the dishes made by that girl, how good it would be, he would rather that kid be lustful and learn from Liu Changzhao's old man, rather than his eldest and not want a woman, not a daughter-in-law, and was said to be a broken sleeve or something like that by the shameless villain, it was annoying.
