On the tenth day of the seventh month, it is sunny, and everything is suitable.

Today is the auspicious day of the zodiac for Xiao Lingwei and Li Xuan to officially worship Pei Zhiwang as their teacher, Pei Zhiwang likes to be quiet, so only Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Linhui and his wife, Li Zhenxiao and his wife and the two apprentices who will be apprenticed are present.

When the auspicious time came, the two worshiped the patriarch, and then bowed to the teacher, and after three kowtows, they each offered six bows.

The teacher accepted the gift and gave a regular lecture.

In this way, the apprenticeship ceremony ended, and Xiao Lingwei and Li Xuan officially became Pei Zhiwang's apprentices.

Li Xuan waved at Xiao Ling: "Little junior sister." ”

Xiao Ling learned from him: "Fourth senior brother." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled slightly.

Xiao Linhui and Li Zhenxiao looked at their children with great satisfaction, with proud smiles on their faces, and then the two of them said respectfully to Pei Zhiwang: "In the future, I will trouble Mr. to discipline more, Mr. Hard." ”

Pei Zhiwang said lightly: "Since I have become my student, I will discipline me strictly and will not allow anyone to interfere." ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "Mr. is right." ”

Old lady Xiao said two words to Xiao Lingwei that were similar to studying hard and being deferential to her husband, and left.

Li Zhenxiao too, after saying two words of encouragement to Li Xuan, he went to the third room with Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li remembered that Li Zhenxiao looked at Li Xuan's gaze just now, and she felt very uncomfortable, but at this moment, she had to force a smile to express the Li family's gratitude to Mrs. Xiao: "Thanks to the care of the third lady these days, the fourth child has made such great progress, and I have worshipped Mr. Pei as a teacher, thank you to the third lady." ”

Mrs. Xiao San smiled: "Madam is polite, I am Xiaosi's aunt, and I should take care of him." ”

Mrs. Li smiled, a lonely look flashing in her eyes.

Mrs. Xiao San took a sip of tea and hesitated and said, "Madam, I have a sentence, I don't know if to say it or not?" ”

Mrs. Li put down the teacup and looked at her seriously: "Third lady, please speak." ”

Mrs. Xiao San pursed her lips and said, "I heard that General Li wants to put the fourth child in his wife's name and become his son-in-law, is there such a thing?" ”

Mrs. Li's face changed, and she was silent for a moment before she said with difficulty: "Yes." ”

Knowing that she was uncomfortable, Mrs. Xiao San still continued: "Madam, I know that I am presumptuous to ask this, but I have been friends with Madame for so many years, and I have already regarded Madame as a friend, and I have to say some things."

"Xiaosi is now older, his brain is flexible, and his knowledge is also good, and now he worships Mr. Pei as a teacher.

"How promising this Mr. Pei's student will be in the future, I don't need to say it, Madame also knows.

"My sister-in-law died early, and Xiao Si grew up beside his wife since he was a child, and he will have a share of your contribution in the future.

"Little four, this child, I understand, he is sincere, whoever is good to him, he will treat him sincerely.

"According to me, General Li wants to put Xiaosi in the name of his wife, which is also a good thing for his wife.

"Of course, I also admit that there is a part of my selfishness in this, and I also want Xiaosi to become a sister-in-law, and I won't be pointed at when I go out.

"But for Madame, Xiao Si has become your sister-in-law, and the more promising Xiao Si will be in the future, the more everyone will remember your credit.

"After all, on the bright side, Xiaosi is your sister-in-law, and you raised him, and Xiaosi will be filial to you in the future.

"Ma'am, are you right?"

Mrs. Li didn't answer, but her expression was a little relaxed.

Mrs. Xiao San didn't say much, a few words of persuasion were enough, let her digest it slowly.

"Madam, think about it, I'm also doing it for your good."

"Ma'am, come, have some refreshments." Mrs. Xiao San beckoned her to eat snacks.

......

Back in Loei, Li Zhenxiao said: "Have you thought about the matter I mentioned to you?"

"I see that Ming'er has a good life, so I will open an ancestral hall and record Xiaosi in your name."

He thought that Mrs. Li would delay and say that he would think about it, so he used a tough tone, but Mrs. Li just thought about it for a while, and then said, "Yes, just follow the master's wishes." ”

Li Zhenxiao was stunned for a moment, then returned to his indifferent expression and walked in.

Back in her room, Miao Fu frowned and asked in a low voice, "Madam, did you agree like this?" ”

Mrs. Li sighed: "Then what can I do?" ”

"Anyway, you have to fight for it, let the master know how big your sacrifice is."

"Forget it." Mrs. Li lay down on the couch with a tired look in her eyes: "No matter how you fight for it, in the end, the master will still do what he thinks."

"Since the final result is the same, why should I fight, I am the one who suffers badly."

Miao Fu choked and couldn't speak.

......

Xiao Hui looked at the empty seat on the left, her eyes a little misty.

Xiao Yue was also looking at the empty seat, and she sighed faintly: "Alas, some people are just lucky, and I don't know what shit luck they have taken, but they are actually favored by Mr. Pei."

"In the future, you won't have to squeeze into this room with us."

Xiao Qin's eyes showed a look of envy: "I really envy the sixth sister, you don't have to learn so many lessons, you just need to follow Mr. Pei in class." ”

"That's not what I said." Xiao Min said while sorting out the books: "The sixth sister still wants to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like us, but Mr. Pei can do everything, and it is enough for him to teach alone, and there is no need to ask other gentlemen to teach."

"I heard that Shen Niangzi, the nurse next to the sixth sister, used to be an embroiderer in the palace, and the embroidery was very good, and the sixth uncle and mother are letting the sixth sister follow Shen Niangzi to learn to be a girl."

Xiao Hua put his hands on his cheeks and said enviously: "Sixth sister is fine, go to class alone, you don't have to follow us in class, how clean." ”

Xiao Hui came over: "What's the matter, the fifth sister is afraid of following us to class and arguing with you?" ”

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Xiao Hua hurriedly explained.

Xiao Hui looked at them for a while and snorted coldly: "It's just that I worshipped a teacher, what kind of spirit."

"Accepting a fat and stupid female student, Mr. Pei will be made fun of sooner or later.

"Hmph."

With that, she straightened up, took the book out of her bag, and slammed it on the table.

What are you proud of, sooner or later you will be good-looking.

Xiao Min and the four looked at each other, and they were all silent.

After class and after returning to the room, Xiao Hui instructed Tong Li: "Go and inquire, what does that fat girl do every day?" ”

Tong Li asked hesitantly, "Miss... Who is the fat girl? ”

Xiao Hui roared: "Who else can it be, the fattest girl in the house, Xiao Lingwei." ”

"Oh, slave and maid are going."

Tong Li ran out as soon as she slipped away.

Xiao Hui held back the fire in her heart, picked up the teacup and drank it, and the next moment, she sprayed the tea again: "Phew, such hot tea, you want to burn me to death." ”

She threw the teacup away, "Come on, pour a cup of tea, you want to kill me with thirst." ”

The maid outside the door heard the sound and hurriedly ran in, one went to make tea again, and the other cleaned up the debris on the ground.
