Chapter 3 Brothers
Zhiyuan Guerjia and his wife, who were chatting, saw Shuyi leading Shu Yao in, Guerjia was not surprised, her daughter's laziness could not be changed for a while, there was a mistake in Huizhou, Guerjia could protect her daughter Shu Yao, return to Beijing to live in the Duke's Palace, cousins get along, Shu Yao will suffer, Guerjia's worry is not unreasonable.
After Shu Yao greeted Ama Eniang, she sat down obediently in the Guerjia clan and prepared for dinner, her little head hung very low, and the sapphire crystal hairpin on her head was shining, and she knew it was a treasure at a glance.
"Shu Yao."
"Hmm."
The Guerjia clan is powerless, worrying about her husband, her eldest son, her younger daughter, and everything inside and outside the house. Her two sons and one woman have different personalities, the eldest son only knows books, and the younger daughter is lazy and can accept it, but Shu Yao follows her husband Zhiyuan, acts honestly and uprightly, and if she doesn't say anything, she will tell the truth. Zhiyuan praised his uprightness for his senses outside, Shu Yao lived in the inner house, Guerjia was very worried, her daughter's temperament, can her future son-in-law protect her?
Although Shu Yao is now nine years old, Guerjia has to think about the front first and find a good home for her daughter.
"E-niang, use tea." The only normal Shuyi smiled and offered tea to Zhiyuan and his wife, Zhiyuan withdrew his gaze from the dining table, "Son, you didn't bring back a gift today?" ”
"I got a pocket watch and gave it to my sister."
"It's a big shot."
When Shu Yao heard the pocket watch, she suddenly raised her head and said in a daze, "Dad is not allowed to grab the pocket watch with me." ”
"Girl, you remember to call Ama in the future." Zhiyuan was extremely fond of his little daughter, who was very similar to his personality, and after emphasizing it, he asked with interest: "Show me the pocket watch?" ”
Shu Yao shook his head, and Zhiyuan held Amma's shelf, "Show it to me." ”
"No, how can you win love?"
Guerjia secretly dragged Zhiyuan and made a look, are you and your daughter calculating? Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled, no longer forcing his daughter, his wife loves her daughter more than him. Shu Yao kept her pocket watch and dozed off again. Guerjia's self-consolation daughter Shu Yao is not hopeless, it is better to be straightforward than to twist and turn, what Guarjia is most tired of is to turn several corners in one sentence, and she is tired and panicked when she listens, from this point of view, Shu Yao combines the advantages of her parents, and Guarjia will not admit it.
Shu Yi, who had always maintained a faint smile, asked, "I remember that Young Master Li in the west of the city and Murong in the south of the city both promised to send medicinal materials. ”
"It's sent, it's a whole basket, Shuyi, will we send that farewell gift at home?"
The shrewd Guerjia clan felt guilty, Shuyi's friends were too generous, compared to the gifts they sent, their family paid very little, Shuyi said: "It's okay, my son is measured." ”
If you are a bystander, Guerjia's family will be worried, the second son Shuyi only has someone else's share, Guarjia's family glanced at her husband who focused on the dishes again, and her helpless eyes fell on Shu Yao, who was hanging her head and wandering, these two people couldn't count on it, and discussed with Shuyi the route when they returned to Beijing, what to bring, how to dismiss and arrange people, Guerjia is a good master, and the dismissal of people should also arrange a good place for them, not just a few taels of silver.
Shuyi is well-informed, and the arrangement is the first way, the Guerjia clan is pleased, fortunately, there is a second son to help, Zhiyuan is confused, he handed over the affairs of the house to his wife, and when the Guerjia clan drank tea, he said: "What about Shuxuan?" ”
The daughters have arrived, the busy Shuyi returned home, Shuxuan didn't see anyone, the meals were delayed, Zhiyuan is not just a meal and don't care about the children's Amma, several children are very good in Zhiyuan's opinion, there are no shortcomings, handed over to the lady to discipline, Zhiyuan is very relieved, the eldest son's knowledge is not to mention one of the best in Huizhou City, even in Guangdong, he is famous.
Last year, Emperor Kangxi Jiaenke, Guarjia originally did not plan to let Shuyi end, and he couldn't stand Zhiyuan's help, the left sentence said, and another sentence Mencius said, said that Guerjia's family was confused and promised that Shuyi, who was only thirteen years old, participated in the county examination, Shuyi won the first, and passed the government examination and the college examination smoothly, and Shuyi became famous in one fell swoop, even the three yuan of primary and secondary schools, and became the youngest talent in Huizhou City.
If it weren't for the obstruction of the four Guarjia clans, Shuxuan might not have lifted people. Guerjia doesn't care about Shuxuan's future, who let Shuxuan get sick after the exam, even if the king of heaven is in Linfan, Guerjia doesn't allow Shuxuan to take his illness to Guangzhou to participate in the township exam.
Guerjia ignored Zhiyuan, and directly ordered the little girl guarding the door: "Go and tell the eldest young master, don't pester the master, the master is also a human being, and he has to eat." ”
Zhiyuan pursed his lips and snickered, it is not easy to be a teacher of Shuxuan, Shuxuan is studious and not ashamed to ask, every teacher is asked by Shuxuan to vomit blood, Shuxuan is talented and intelligent, reads hard, is sensitive and studious, not arrogant or impatient, every teacher wants to be an apprentice, but no matter how knowledgeable the master is, he can't stand the questions that Shuxuan has accumulated over time. Although he taught the disciples of Lian Xiaoxiao Sanyuan, the master had a light on his face, and Shuxuan couldn't keep it from winning another ****** in the future, and the enlightenment teacher of the champion and the first was extremely honorable, but Zhiyuan invited many teachers to Shuxuan, but they were all asked by Shuxuan and ran away.
Now this great Confucian is the one who insists on the longest life, and the Guerjia clan is supported by delicious food and drink, I am afraid that he will be asked by his son and run away, and no one will come to teach his son Shuxuan.
The son said that the subset of scriptures is a set, and Guerjia couldn't insert a word, and once expressed a sigh, why is the Confucian and Mencian saints not dumb? The son of heaven said that the son said, said the head.
"Let's go back to Beijing, Mr. Wu will be relieved." Shuyi sighed, Zhiyuan shook his head and shook his head with a look on his face: "Shu Mulu Mansion meritorious heirloom, I first won the Jinshi, the blue is better than the blue, the son Shuxuan must be the champion, then let the Han scholars see, our Eight Banners children can read and break, even six yuan." ”
"Second brother, what is six yuan?" Shu Yao was rarely interested, Shuyi explained to her sister, Shu Yao nodded while listening, and concluded that even six yuan is more difficult than the top student in the national college entrance examination, and the admission rate of talents in the Qing Dynasty is very low, and the elimination rate is very high.
Guerjia's let the girl urge Shuxuan again, about half an hour younger, Shuxuan was late, his clothes were stained with ink, Shuxuan's mouth was still chattering, Shuxuan was five years older than Shu Yao, only fourteen years old, although he was a reader, Shuxuan did not appear weak, half a head taller than his peers, and his body was also very strong, this was Guarjia's insistence, no matter how Shuxuan argued, Guarjia's only recognized one, smelled the chicken and danced every day, and took half an hour to practice riding and shooting. And he is not a scholar who has no power to restrain his hands.
Shuxuan's appearance followed his Ama Zhiyuan, the face of the national character was thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was upright, Shuxuan first asked his parents to say goodbye, and sat in the first place under Zhiyuan, which was the position of the eldest son, Shuxuan glanced at his parents apologetically, the second brother and sister, and the Guerjia clan stopped Shuxuan.
"We're all used to it, eating." Guerjia's words were as concise as possible, saving his son Shuxuan from looking for a way to drag the text.
The girl is a meal, the dinner is very rich, Zhiyuan is long and comfortable, when the sun is setting, he waits for the meal, and waits until the palm lamp is ten, and the family of five is not enough, is it easy to have a dinner? Children really have personalities.
