Chapter 268: Wrestling

Think about it, the eighth called the old ten in again. Lao Shi may be a reckless boy back then, in Mongolia for so many years, the sun and wind of the steppe have also made him black and strong, a bit like a Mongolian man.

Although he is not like the eighth child, there is only one of his qualifications, but there is no side Fujin in the house, they are all geges and concubines, in order to ensure the absolute status of his qualifications, don't favor anyone, Xu is the Guo Luoluo clan back then gave the old ten a bit of a big stimulus.

"What do you mean, old man, and offended all the brothers in Beijing for us, what do you want to do?" After reading the letter, Lao Shi slammed the table, his temper has become proportional to his age in recent years.

"No matter what he wants to do, I don't dare to move if the buns and dumplings stay in Beijing, so I can only float outside. You've had enough fun, it's time to go back to Rehe. The eighth sighed lightly, knocked on the table and sighed.

"You say, do we want to really buy some property in Jiangnan? I'm an old man, and I have to think about it, so much money is shipped out, and I don't buy property. I'm afraid I'm going to buy the dead. The eighth child began to get down to business.

"I don't have any cash, don't expect the old eleven, he has the goods now! You have a lot of cash in your hands, but can you get it? Lao Shi joked with Lao Ba, he admired Si Qi's empty gloves and white wolf's skills, but he also admired Si Qi's temper.

Lao Ba glanced at him, although he didn't know how the monster Si Qi became like this, but she was really great at making money.

"Buy land!" Lao Shi knocked on the fan and got serious.

"Where to buy?" The old eight had a flash of inspiration, this time with the old ten on a trip, saying that it was a tour of the mountains and rivers, it was better to inspect the port, if they really wanted to live overseas, they had to prepare for the pre-selection of the dock. Relying on the old dock is really not safe for them.

Jiangnan Port is a very important thing for them, one is trade, the other is to avoid docking, so they drive a new ship, go straight downstream, and play along the way. Find a place that the old man can't see, but it's very convenient to build a new dock.

Lao Shi said to buy land at this time, it should be that he already has a fancy place, if a new wharf is really built, the land around the natural area must be bought, so that his people can slowly settle in first, and it will come in handy in the future.

After looking at a few places where Lao Shizhi went, Lao Ba carefully pointed to one and asked the three brothers to buy it under different names, so that the old man could see that he had bought a large piece of land. But you shouldn't be able to think about what you want to do with it. Such a large piece should make the old man feel at ease for a few days.

Back in the room, Xia Mo was still pondering the gift list, it was difficult to prepare a gift for Concubine Liang, although Concubine Liang was born poorly, but since she was eight or three years old, it has been very smooth.

Kangxi has always been very good to her, and the desire of a smooth person is generally not too strong, not to mention that Concubine Liang has always been a gentle woman, and she has always taken things outside her body very lightly. Usually Xia Mo always thinks that this mother-in-law is very easy to get along with, but every time she picks a gift for her, it is very troublesome? How do you ask her to prepare a gift for someone who has no desires?

"Still bothered?" Lao Ba sat beside her, pulled the list in her hand, and looked at it, in fact, they are all very good, they are all suitable for Concubine Liang, it seems that Xia Mo also knows Concubine Liang very well, but she thinks it is better.

"Hui Eniang's ready, didn't we see an embroidered image in Suzhou last time? It is the Suzhou double-sided embroidered screen that Niangniang likes, and I knew that she must like it when I bought it. It's just that our Eniang can embroider it herself. What can we give her? Xia Mo was discouraged.

"She likes everything you send, you can draw a portrait of her, or make some trinkets for her." The eighth gave her advice.

"I don't want to paint a portrait of her." Xia Mo's heart twitched, and he immediately said.

"Why?" Lao Bayi was stunned, Xia Mo's character painting is very good, if she paints a portrait of Concubine Liang, Concubine Liang must be very happy.

"I don't want to paint, that's unlucky!" Xia Mo glanced at him.

Lao Ba was stunned, and didn't dare to ask why it was unlucky, if it was unlucky, then why did she still paint for the old man and the children.

In fact, Xia Mo doesn't know what to say, for portraits, she has a psychological shadow for photography.

When I was a child in my last life, my uncle died suddenly when he was on a business trip, and when he was handling the funeral, his uncle's photo was very good, so Xia Mo's mother asked, but her aunt cried as soon as she said it, saying that when the meeting was held, the reporter wanted to take personal photos of the people who came to the meeting together. The rest of the participants refused to shoot, so my uncle happily took it alone, and asked people to zoom in and take it back and put it away. was so angry that my aunt couldn't wait to drop the photo at that time. A few days later, my uncle went on a business trip and never came back, and that big photo became a real posthumous image.

So later she refused to take a regular portrait herself, and when the unit asked for a photo, she washed the previous one, and then thought about it, the last time she took a photo was a week before the car accident. The unit asked for a photo, very anxious, so anxious that she couldn't go home to get it, the kindergarten has a good digital camera, which can take registration photos, so the colleague kindly hung a red cloth on the blackboard for her and took a picture. I also kept telling her that the shooting was very good and beautiful. Xia Mo often thought later, if she hadn't taken that photo, would something have happened?

So she painted either a side face or a group portrait for the old man, she never painted a frontal sitting portrait of the old man, and it was even more impossible for them to draw buns, and they mostly painted buns with comics.

Xia Mo knew that this was very stupid and superstitious, but she just couldn't do it. Concubine Liang lived only forty years in history. She passed away sadly, Xia Mo knew that it was different, but she was still unwilling to do anything that might trigger the problem. But there is no way to explain this, so I can only helplessly spread my hands and look at the eighth child.

"Then make a summer shirt for E-Niang, you were taught by E-Niang herself, you made it yourself, E-Niang must be happy to wear it." The eighth didn't want to persecute Xia Mo, so he hurriedly gave another suggestion.

"Well, isn't this too light. I was going to do it for my mother, this is the daughter-in-law's duty, isn't it? Xia Mo sighed, it is the responsibility of the daughter-in-law to make clothes for her mother-in-law, two sets in one season, Xia Mo has never forgotten. Fooling around with this, I always feel sorry for Concubine Liang. Xia Mo snatched back the list, and had to find a gift that could be given to Concubine Liang.

"Is this white jade set good? E-Niang likes to be plain, although it is not very expensive, but it is better than exquisite. Xia Mo picked for a long time, and finally decided to give a set of white jade ornaments given to her by the eighth child to Concubine Liang.

"Why are you always so nervous about things in the palace?" Lao Ba pulled Xia Mo, who was still trying to find a more suitable gift.

"Am I nervous?" Xia Mo couldn't wait to find a mirror to see, but the problem was. That's too much trouble.

"Okay, I'm a little nervous." Xia Mo took a deep breath and felt that she might have a problem.

"Haven't you always liked E-Niang?" Lao Ba stroked her back, after the children entered Beijing, although there were letters every day, but she was still in a high degree of tension, sometimes in the middle of the night she would have nightmares, ask her what she dreamed of, she didn't say, only said that she forgot. The eighth child knows that she is not nervous because of Concubine Liang, she is always nervous for the children.

"Yes, in fact, I like all the ladies in the palace, but I just think ...... Alas, stupid old eight! Xia Mo patted the eighth child's forehead, she didn't know what to say, tell him that she was afraid? Afraid that the buns will make the old man unbearable one day and cause ** annoyance? Who doesn't know that a companion is like a tiger? Even if the old man doesn't know how to take the buns, what will happen to them, but Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang are afraid that they will also be accused of poor upbringing.

"Let's go to Taiwan to see the second brother, okay?" The eighth let her beat it, and he was like this when he was a child.

"Why? At this time, will the old man suspect anything? Xia Mo was a little surprised, and she didn't quite understand what the eighth child was thinking.

"So afraid of his suspicion?"

"No, it's just that it's not necessary, we know that he is good now, the second sister-in-law and the children are also out of the palace to live, and we are also floating outside, so we don't need to make the old man think that we have formed an alliance with the second brother, which is not a good thing for us and the second brother." This will make Xia Mo's brain clear.

Lao Ba nodded, yes, Xia Mo is right, of course you can't go to Taiwan now, but floating is also a technical job.

"If we and the second brother secretly communicate with each other, the buns can go sideways in Beijing." The eighth sighed softly. Xia Mo's eyes widened, this is the conspiracy mentioned in the book? The eighth and the old man are competing with each other? I was about to ask something more......

"Auntie......" Bubu's loud voice came from outside the door, and it also carried the meaning of a long Mongolian tune. It's so melodious.

"Isn't he going out with Chun Yu today?" Xia Mo lay down, and it was not easy to be used as a singer every day.

"I'll come back when I go out to play, you've picked a gift for a long time." The eighth smiled and pulled Xia Mo up.

Xia Mo likes Bubu very much, but the problem is that Bubu is as talkative and energetic as Baozi. But he is not as independent as Baozi, Baozi can play alone for a day, and he can live happily without Xia Mo and Lao Ba, he can immediately find a bunch of people to play with him.

But Bubu can't, Bubu likes to be accompanied. And his favorite person is Xia Mo, followed by Chun Yu, although Xia Mo has given birth to three children, but the energy she has paid is not as much as she has paid to Bubu during this period of time, and now she feels that she has a problem, she was taught badly by Su Ma and them, and was corrupted by feudal and decadent thoughts, and she has long been accustomed to nannies taking care of children, and her responsibility is to play with the children occasionally. But now, Bubu doesn't want a nanny at all, if it weren't for Chun Yu to share it for her, Xia Mo felt that she was about to hang up.

"Auntie, Bubu is back." Bubu rushed in, holding a sugar gourd in his hand, while Chun Yu followed behind, also looking tired.

"Happy?" Xia Mo sympathized with Chun Yu, but she couldn't do it, if there was no Chun Yu, she really didn't know what to do.

"What about my brother's letter? Bubu rushed back to listen to the letter. Bubu climbed onto the lap of the eighth child and sat down and waited for Xia Mo to read the letter to him.

Since the last time he ruined one of Xia Mo's clothes, and Bubu was also distressed that he had lost a bunch of candy fruits, Bubu was very conscious that when he had a sugar gourd in his hand, he would never get close to Xia Mo, and he would talk about it after eating.
