The adults discussed the matter of visiting Mr., and Fu Tingyun got up to say goodbye. The third husband and the seventh brother-in-law sent her out of the study door, and the third cousin accompanied her back to the inner house to pick up Youyou and Brother Xi.

Yo You, Lantern Xiao and Brother Xi made a mess on the kang with a smile, and Chun Cake sat alone by the kang, looking a little lonely.

When they saw the adults come in, the three children immediately quieted down.

Fu Tingyun smiled and beckoned Youyou and Brother Xi: "Say goodbye to the third aunt." We're going back. ”

Youyou and Brother Xi obediently got off the kang and saluted their third cousin.

And the third cousin saw that the red lacquer painted gold praise box on the kang table was in a mess, and she understood in her heart, and quietly told Youyou and Brother Xi a few words like "Come and see the third aunt with your mother when you have leisure", and the maid and mother-in-law sent Fu Tingyun's mother and son to the carriage, and waited until the carriage drove out of the alley and disappeared, and the third cousin took the two sons back to the main house.

"How much sugar did you just eat?" sat down on the big kang in the window, took the teacup offered by the maid and took a sip, and the third cousin asked the second son who was standing in front of him lightly.

Lantern Xiao lowered her head weakly, and glanced at her brother next to her.

But I saw my brother standing there in a daze, as if he was stupid.

He couldn't help muttering in his heart: What's wrong with my brother? Usually I will help him ask for anything in front of his mother......

The third cousin watched, but secretly sighed in her heart.

Yoyo is a polite child. She was thinking about her husband wholeheartedly just now, and she didn't think much about it, and when she saw the box, she realized that Yoyou was begging her for food for the Lantern Festival.

The third cousin also felt that her husband was too harsh on his two sons. But in front of her son, she couldn't reveal half of it. Otherwise, one is in charge of the other, and the children will look at the eyes of adults the most, knowing that someone is spoiled, and then I am afraid that no one will be able to control it.

"The next step is an example." The third cousin did not blame her son too much, but said, "The rules are set by your father, and your eldest brother has never violated you, if you can't keep it, I will tell your father - you don't have to study with your father in the future, find a private school to recognize a few words, and help the family manage the housework when you grow up." Leave the matter of the glorious lintel to your brother. ”

Lantern Xiao's tears immediately burst out: "Mother, I want to study with my father and be like my brother...... I won't dare to ...... again."

The third cousin was not prepared to give up his second son so easily, lest he think that if he made a mistake, he would be forgiven as long as he admitted his mistake. said with a cold face: "Then I'll see if you can abide by the rules set by your father in the future." ”

"I can, I can ······" Lantern Xiao sobbed and hurriedly said, "In the future, Cousin Yoyou asked me to eat, and I won't eat either......"

What does this have to do with Yoyo?

The third cousin couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to say more carefully The eldest son, who had been silent for the second son, suddenly said: "Mother, don't blame Cousin Yoyou, it's all me, it's me who didn't take care of my younger brother." Cousin Yoyo didn't know about Daddy's rule that we were only allowed to eat two candies a day, and I didn't dissuade Cousin Yoyo when I saw Cousin Yoyo bring pastries to my brother to eat...... It's all my fault······ Don't blame your cousin, don't blame your brother......" he said, kneeling in front of his mother.

When Lantern Xiao saw it, he also knelt down with his brother: "Mother is none of my brother's business, I want to eat ......"

Brothers, friends, brothers, brothers

The third cousin nodded secretly and said, "Since you all know that you are wrong, I won't say much." Not again. Got it? ”

The two brothers said yes respectfully.

The third cousin stopped the topic and asked them to go down and rest.

After receiving her mother's forgiveness, Lantern Xiao quickly went to sleep without any worries. And the mood of Spring Cake has been a little low.

The nurse of the spring cake persuaded the spring cake: "Miss Biao is a guest, so the eldest young master is naturally not easy to stop!" Mrs. must have known about it, so she didn't blame the second young master. Don't worry, young master. ”

The spring cake didn't make a sound, and let the nurse help him wash his feet.

The nurse couldn't help but feel heartache when she saw it, and said, "Otherwise, I'll accompany the eldest young master to accompany my wife later, right?" ”

"No need." Spring Cake said sullenly, turned around and went to bed.

The nurse was puzzled, so she had to serve the spring cakes and go to bed.

The lamp was blown and the room fell silent.

Chun Cake suddenly said: "You say, why doesn't Cousin Yo pay attention to me?" ”

The nurse was stunned.

"Did I say those things a few days ago that made Cousin Yoyo angry?" Spring Cake muttered, "I didn't mean to. I wanted to apologize to my cousin, but she kept talking to my second brother, and I couldn't interject......"

It turns out that the eldest young master is worried about this matter!

But it's understandable.

Miss Zhao Jiabiao is beautiful and lively, the Shen family has no daughter, and the lord and wife are both serious people, and finally a playmate came, and it is no wonder that the eldest young master values it.

"Miss Zhao Jiabiao is the same age as the second young master, so she will naturally get closer." The nurse smiled, "Look at the young master of the Zhao family, can't you only follow behind Miss Zhao and the second young master?" He added, "If Miss Zhao Jiabiao doesn't want to ignore you, she won't give you a nest candy to eat—didn't Miss Zhao Jiabiao say that she likes to eat nest candy the most." ”

Spring Cake's eyes lit up when he listened.

Oh, yes.

Yo You also said that this kind of sugar is the sweetest and the most delicious. And asked her if she liked it?

He was reassured.

I sat up a little excitedly, leaned over and asked the nurse who was sleeping on the bed: "You said, the next time I come to my sister, will I buy some nest candy?" ”

The nurse faintly felt that something was wrong.

The eldest young master is like this, will he be too quiet in front of Miss Zhao Jiabiao?

The thought flashed, and the nurse felt that she was too worried.

The eldest young master is only seven years old this year, and Miss Biao is only four years old. Children, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, where do you think so much.

"Okay!" The nurse smiled, "The nurse will help you remember this?" It's not too early, go to sleep! I'm going to get up early tomorrow morning and practice calligraphy! ”

"Hmm!" Spring Cake responded happily, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and soon fell asleep.

※※※※※

Fu Tingyun wrote a letter to Zhao Ling when he got home, and told Zhao Ling about the third sister, and then waited for two more days, waiting for the letter from the third brother-in-law, and then dragged his already heavy body to Tanzhe Temple.

Different from the cold when I came last time, the Tanzhe Temple in April is full of green trees, and the pilgrims are weaving, a lively and prosperous scene.

Hearing that Fu Tingyun was Mr. Lai, Zhike didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to host the master.

The host master personally invited Fu Tingyun to the wing room to sit down and sent someone to Mr. Yu.

Soon, the person who went came back: "He is inviting the female Tanyue over for tea." ”

The host master forcibly concealed his shock and accompanied Fu Tingyun to the back mountain where Mr. was retreating.

The bluestone paved road, the two-story building covered by green trees, the rockery made of a few Taihu Lake stones create a bit of wild interest, and a few orchids are lush next to it...

In the past, she didn't pay attention to it, but she felt that this place was fresh and elegant, and after listening to the words of the third brother-in-law, she looked at it carefully, and felt that her husband's residence was not like a monk's place of cultivation, but like the courtyard of an official eunuch's house. When she saw the gentleman wearing the Songjiang Sansuo cloth monk's robe dyed gray, she only admired the third brother-in-law.

Mr. Please sit down on the Luohan bed in the main hall, and make a pot of Tieguanyin for Fu Tingyun with his own hands: "...... You are now a double body, Tieguanyin has a peaceful temperament, which is just right for you. ”

Fu Tingyun got up with a smile and took the tea cup, said "thank you" and handed a few boxes of pastries to the little novice beside Mr.: "Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is almost over, I made a few boxes of vegetarian snacks and brought them over for Mr. to taste." ”

The gentleman thanked Fu Tingyun and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to come to me?" Could it be that there is something important? ”

Fu Tingyun didn't go around in circles, and said with a dignified face: "I really want to ask Mr. to help me get an idea." Then he told Mr. about the third brother-in-law's entry into Beijing to seek recovery, "The ninth master always said that your wisdom is like the sea, whether he goes to Xuanfu or Guizhou, he always comes to you to sit down." Say that as long as you see you sitting upright, thinking that no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, there is someone who can help you make ideas, you will feel like a rock, and no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, you will be at peace in your heart. The matter of the third brother-in-law, I thought of Mr. in a panic, you see, in the situation of my third brother-in-law, who can find the position in the matter? ”

The gentleman was very surprised, and said after a while: "I didn't expect Huchen to have such a high evaluation of me!" There was a faint disappointment in her tone, and her gaze became as sharp as an arrow, and she didn't say this, of course, it was not Zhao Ling.

But Fu Tingyun really thought so.

"Qingjun side" Mr. dared to do such a big thing, and what else did he dare not do.

He just doesn't help, he can help show a way, and the third brother-in-law's affairs can get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, her demeanor is very calm, and her eyes are clear and calm.

"Not only the ninth master, I believe many people think so too." Fu Tingyun said with a smile, "Otherwise, the emperor would not have sent the Praetorian Guards to protect the safety of Mr." ”

The gentleman raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Or, things are not as you think—the emperor sent the Praetorian Guards, but he just doesn't want me to leave Beijing!" ”

Fu Tingyun was slightly stunned.

She didn't expect her husband to say that...... The emperor was involved······ No matter what you say, there will be suspicion of criticizing the emperor......

A thin layer of sweat broke out of Fu Tingyun's vest. But her face was not dewy, and she asked in astonishment, "Is that what Mr. thinks?" ”

You want to kick me into the water, and I can't let you stand on the shore.

She looked at her husband in confusion.

"That's exactly what I thought!" The gentleman said coldly, "What, does Mrs. Zhao have a different opinion?" His expression was a little cold.

In the end, it still upsets Mr.!

Speaking of which, Mr. has always regarded them as friends without any conflict of interest, so whether it is Zhao Ling or her, as long as he comes to ask to see them, he will not hesitate to see them. Who knew that this time, like those who were in the officialdom, she came to ask him for something······ He felt that their friendship had been tarnished/tarnished, and even began to doubt the original purpose of their friendship with him... …

But she didn't just give up.

You can't just hold back.

Otherwise, not only would the affairs of the third brother-in-law not be done, but their friendship with the husband would end here.
