The surroundings were silent, and Qin Xun did not answer the child.

"Then do you know why Dad doesn't hold a grudge against your third uncle?" Qin Xiao's voice came from behind him.

Qin Xiao took his wife Gu Shi back to the house, and when he entered the door, he heard the servant tell his son Qin Shang and his younger brother Qin Hong had a dispute, and the third brother Qin Xun, who had just returned to the house, had just gone to deal with it, and Qin Xiao, who knew that his son was spoiled by his mother, was afraid that something would go wrong, so he hurried over, and as soon as he entered the courtyard through the moon cave gate, he heard his son's disrespectful remarks to the third brother.

Seeing his father coming, Qin Shang's mouth was deflated and he was about to cry and complain.

"Don't cry." Qin Xiao stepped forward and squatted in front of her son, and said solemnly, "If you are wronged, you can naturally cry to your elders and complain about being coquettish, but you have done something wrong, you are not allowed to cry to win sympathy, and your father will not eat you." ”

Qin Shang sniffed and twitched, he didn't dare to cry, he just choked up and looked at his father.

"Daddy...... Why don't you hold a grudge against the third uncle? He sobbed and stupefied a complete sentence.

"Because ......"

"Because your father has a good temper, he is not as knowledgeable as me." Qin Xun cut off lightly.

The elders don't have to ask the juniors to listen to the old things and old grievances.

Qin Xiao looked at him and saw the bamboo ruler he was holding loosely in his hand, so he took it over and asked Qin Shang to stretch out his hand.

Qin Shang looked at his father in astonishment, his two little hands behind his back and shook his head desperately.

"What is the second son going to do! If you can't fight, let Mrs. Gu know what to do! The maidservant Aoi Xiang exclaimed.

Qin Xiao tested the strength of the bamboo ruler in the palm of his hand, and said calmly: "What if you know?" He did something wrong, I'm his father, can't be disciplined? He looked at his frightened son with a solemn face and commanded, "Reach out!" ”

Qin Shang was crying, timidly stretched out a small hand and turned his palm up.

"Bang", so loud that even Qin Xun was startled, when he came to be an uncle, he was not embarrassed to be ruthless, thinking that it was someone else's son who was being trained, and the dragonfly slapped out of the sound to deter and deter, his second brother was really ruthless when he was his father, and Qin Shang couldn't help but exhale in pain when he hit him with a foot, his little hand shrank fiercely and stretched back tremblingly and didn't dare to take it away, and the skin of his palm turned white when he was first beaten, and soon it turned red.

Qin Xiao said: "I don't know the number of etiquette, I should fight if I grab people's utensils." ”

There was another crisp sound, and Qin Shang burst into tears.

"Contradicting my uncle, disrespecting my elders, I should fight."

At the third sound, Qin Shang's delicate little palms were red and swollen, and he couldn't help but sob.

"Everyone's son, not well-educated, should be beaten."

After three hits, Qin Xiao handed the bamboo ruler to the stunned maid Kwai Xiang, Kwai Xiang had never seen the most temperamental second son in the house have such a big fire, so frightened that his hands trembled like Qin Shang, who was punished by his father, and took the bamboo ruler tremblingly, and he didn't dare to come out.

Qin Xiao got up and straightened her clothes: "Apologize to the third and fourth uncles." ”

Qin Shang whined and said something vague: "Third uncle and fourth uncle are sorry." ”

Qin Xiao frowned: "Say it clearly, apologize for doing something wrong." ”

Qin Shang sobbed a few times, eased his breath, and said, "You shouldn't bully the fourth uncle and rob the fourth uncle's things, you shouldn't talk back to the third uncle, it's Shang'er who did something wrong, I'm sorry." ”

Finally hearing that his son had obediently admitted his mistake, Qin Xiao turned his head and apologized to his younger brother: "I'm sorry Ah Hong, it's the second brother who didn't discipline Shang'er well, but was it hurt?" ”

Qin Hong shook his head silently.

Qin Xiao turned to Qin Xun again, but pursed her lips and thought for a while before saying, "It's because I don't discipline strictly, and the third brother doesn't take it to heart." ”

"It's the second brother who doesn't go to his heart." Qin Xun sighed.

How could he not see that Qin Xiao would punish Qin Shang so angrily this time, most of it was because Qin Shang blurted out the words that he had robbed Qin Xiao of things in the past when he contradicted him.

In the past, why did Qin Xun always love to compete with Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao, who has been sensible since childhood, has a bright heart, Qin Xun has never grabbed things for the sake of grabbing things, he is such a noble son who wants something, where does he care about so many bits and pieces, what he is fighting for is just the excessive lack of love and attention from his father, so he always points to the things that his father bought and gave to Qin Xiao with a cold little face when his father is present, and says "I want" simply and clearly, neither deceiving people behind his back, nor insulting people, It is very different from Qin Shang's spoiled behavior of wanting whatever he wants.

Maybe it's because the child understands the child, or maybe it's because the brothers have a heart, Qin Xiao understands Qin Xun's wayward behavior, so every time Qin Xun opens his mouth and says "I want", many times Qin Xiao takes the initiative to give it to him without waiting for his father to speak, and he actually loves this delicate-looking third brother very much.

Before Qin Xun left home at the age of ten, he hadn't fought for two or three years, and he didn't seem to care about his father's attitude towards him anymore, but those things in the past were old scars in Qin Xun's heart, Qin Xiao has always been careful not to mention it, and this time he heard his son uncover it from the dust, so he couldn't help but be angry.

"This kid is actually not bad-minded, I just heard him say something, it's not the four-year-old child who thinks about it himself, most of it is because he listens to the adults around him who say that he has learned more, second brother, you better take care of it more." Qin Xun looked at Qin Shang, who had tears and snot and a look of grievance, "But I don't understand a little, since your mother is so unaccustomed to my words and deeds, why should you spoil this child to be as virtuous as I was then." ”

"...... In the future, I will talk about it, and I will discipline the merchants more. ”

Qin Xiao was a little reluctant to say it clearly, he didn't say that Qin Xun knew in his heart that Mrs. Gu was jealous, otherwise she would not have embarrassed Qin Huai's mother like that before, on the one hand, she was dissatisfied with Qin Xun's domineering in the past, and on the other hand, she was jealous that he was qualified to be so domineering, so she unconsciously wanted to prove to others that her grandson also had the same qualifications.

"Cry, little cub, look at what you hold." Qin Xun didn't dare to cry out loud when he saw Qin Shang's little face, and he was actually a little funny, "Don't talk about your third uncle casually in the future, if your grandfather could manage me like your father took care of you, I wouldn't be that virtuous." ”

Qin Xiao took Qin Shang back to the house to give him medicine, Qin Shang's palms were red and swollen, and he couldn't help but hiss when the medicine was applied, and said to his father angrily: "Dad is applying medicine to me again now, so why did you beat me just now!" ”

"You are my son, I love you, but if you do something wrong, I will also discipline you, this is not a conflict." Qin Xiao applied the medicine to him, and called the maidservant to clean up the medicine box, "Dad asked you, do you know why Dad doesn't hate your third uncle, and do you still want to listen?" ”

"Didn't the third uncle say that his father had a good temper and didn't have the same knowledge as him?"

"Your third uncle said that because of your father and son's face." Qin Xiao stroked her son's head and smiled, "Because the third uncle was fighting with his father for things at the beginning, it was never out of the intention of bullying and acting, so Shang'er, remember to apologize to your Uncle Hong this time, you have gone too far." ”
