Wang's dependence on Xing Shuang has become a habit. After Xing Shuang left, this habit greatly affected her daily life.

In the first few months when Xing Shuang left, the Wang family would often forget that his sister-in-law was no longer at home, and asked people to send things to Qingyuan at every turn.

Every time the maid reminded her that the eldest lady was no longer there, Wang would sigh for a while and sit there in a daze for a long time.

Over the years, she gradually forgot about this habit. But every time someone mentions his sister-in-law, the Wang family still has a strong longing, and he can't wait to see his sister-in-law now.

Mother Jia was just joking and said, "Why don't you go to see her", but seeing that her daughter-in-law was serious, she chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly smiled: "The boss doesn't know how long he will be re-elected, and he may be able to return to Beijing in another year." ”

Wang suppressed his thoughts, and smiled reluctantly: "Uncle has a very good reputation in Liangguang, I heard that there has not even been a rebellion of the victims in Liangguang in previous years, which shows that he is very loved by the people." Zhu'er didn't mention any bad news, and His Majesty must be extremely satisfied with the uncle. ”

Mother Jia sighed in her heart, if she is the eldest son, if she really starts to be ruthless, he is a person who is not even afraid of herself, and with his temperament, it is also a miracle that he can be so stable in the court.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were reluctant to mention the matter of Guangzhou, and as soon as the conversation turned to Jia Yun, they inevitably mentioned the matter of Baoyu.

"He has a lot of energy these days, and he gets up before the hour every day, and he is busy outside of the morning, and he can't see anyone except in the morning and dusk. I'd rather he run around more often than spend time at home. ”

When Wang mentioned his son, he was also very emotional: "It's just that he suddenly stopped studying in China, and this thing is not easy to do." The reason is that the daughter of the Chen family died of illness, which caused a lot of uproar outside, and there were several old scholars in Chinese studies, who also treated him coldly.

Now that he is absent from school, those old scholars don't want him to go back, Master Li mentioned it a few times, and those old scholars are all opposed.

"I don't expect him to be like his eldest brother and have a place in the court, but people like us can do nothing if they don't find an official position?

"Thinking about it, it's better to donate money to him as an official, first, the ancestors are shaded, he doesn't have to work so hard, and second, with his brother in front, if he forcibly continues to study, the result is not as good as his eldest brother, won't it make him feel even more uncomfortable?"

After listening to Wang's worries, Mother Jia agreed very much: "What you said is not unreasonable, and the secret room of our clan is not also managed by that child?" Although the old family is no longer there, the secret room brings a lot of income to our family every year.

I heard that in addition to going to school every year, he also has to think of more than a dozen new ways to play for the secret room, which shows that his mind is not in school, but he is afraid that he will be forced to continue reading, and there will be no good results.

"Besides, he is a second son, and there is no need to force him to glorify his ancestors and fly to the top, since Zhu'er has taken the official career, then he is at home on an errand, receiving some things to do, and passing the time. As for the donor, I don't think it's reluctant, if he is willing or not, he has to ask first. ”

I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, and when Wang returned from Xianhetang, he called Baoyu, and he didn't say why, but only asked him if he was willing to return to China to continue his education, or if he wanted to stay at home and receive some errands, just like his second brother.

Baoyu listened, but did not answer for a while, only said that he would go back and think about it, and then give his mother an answer after thinking about it. Wang let him go, and after a few days, Baoyu took the initiative to find him, saying that he didn't want to go back to China to study.

The Wang family had already prepared in his heart, and when he heard his son say this, he was also a little regretful. However, she quickly adjusted her mood and said to her son with a smile: "If you don't want to go again, just let me tell Master Li." ”

Baoyu was a little worried: "I'm afraid that I won't go, but let Master Li misunderstand, the first thing, he has repeatedly asked someone to ask about his son's condition, and now if he doesn't go at all, will my sister-in-law not be able to get over the face?" ”

Wang comforted him and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will explain it to her, and then say whether you go to study or not, what does it have to do with her." If you don't go to school if she doesn't ask for it, how can her father take her? ”

After Baoyu left, the Wang family called Li Kun, told Baoyu about this matter, and said: "I know that your father has always cared for him, and those few pedants in Chinese studies came back to find Baoyu trouble, and he also blocked it for Baoyu." Now Baoyu has no intention of learning, and I don't want to force him. I'm afraid that your father will find out and complain in his heart that we don't want to make progress, good children, and it's wasted. ”

Li Kun thought about it seriously after listening to it, raised his head and said to his mother-in-law: "It's okay in Chinese studies, it's okay if the second uncle doesn't go." On my father's side, the uncle took the second uncle to say hello, and there was no problem in thinking about it. Although it is necessary to reprimand, but my father, it is just a reprimand, and it is not too serious. ”

Wang sighed: "In this case, wait for Zhu'er to repair and find a day to accompany your father." I'll prepare it here, what does your father love on weekdays, do you know? ”

Li Kun informed her mother-in-law of her father's preferences, and when she saw that there was nothing else, she was about to retire, and Wang stopped her again: "Sister Miao has also reached the age of learning housekeepers, you have to pay attention to what you should teach." Your aunt has been teaching your second sister to be a housekeeper since she was seven years old. ”

Li Kun smiled and said, "What Mrs. said is that I will ask her to follow me to Zhijietang tomorrow." ”

Since her sister-in-law left, she had nothing to do every day except housekeeping, and the older she got, the more she felt that this right was not a thing, but it was difficult to drag herself an inch, and she couldn't enjoy anything, she couldn't do anything.

She sat there and couldn't help but sigh, "You're still smart." ”

Xing Shuang, who was far away in Guangzhou, sneezed, rubbed his nose and smiled at the people around him: "I don't know who is worried about me, so I haven't stopped all day today." ”

It was Zhong Xiu beside her, who smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's Yun'er and Xiaohong, right?" Now they should also get married, and they don't know when they will come back. ”

Xing Shuang couldn't help but mutter: "It's another story if I don't come back, but I remember the old lady and my younger siblings a little." This person, when you were in front of you, you didn't go well, and when you were far away, you missed her again. ”

Zhong Xiu covered her mouth and laughed, and said to Xing Shuang: "My sister is old, so it is inevitable that she will miss the old people a little. The old lady is about to have a full birthday, right? It's better to find a time to go back and have a look, and by the way, to celebrate her birthday, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. ”
