Chapter 653: Falling (Part II)

sent away Shi Niang, and Shi Niang was a little depressed for a long time.

She thought of the days when everyone was crowded in the green building, the nervousness when she entered Beijing, the startling meeting in front of the hanging flowers of the Xufu Mansion on March 3, and the scene of the first "Pipa Xing...... All of this seems to be getting farther and farther away from her with Shi Niang's departure.

Eleven Niang's emotions affected everyone around her. Brother Jin would often raise his head while writing, staring at his mother with his sparkling eyes, whenever he saw his mother sitting there with a needle and thread in her hand, his childish face would appear a little worried that was inconsistent with his youth, and he would do things more lightly. Once said to Chang'an: "My tenth aunt is gone, my mother is very sad, let's not quarrel with her." ”

Brother Jin didn't care much about Chang'an at first, but as everyone practiced martial arts in Shuangfu Academy, Chang'an was serious and persistent in the martial arts that needed to be practiced diligently. Brother Jin'er's eyes gradually changed when he looked at Chang'an. not only began to take the initiative to greet Chang'an, but sometimes gossip with Chang'an.

Chang'an felt that this was not something he could discuss. He didn't speak, just smiled at Brother Jin.

Brother Jin felt that he was too dull, so he took a juju to tease Changshun to play.

Chang Shun walked xiao short tuǐ kicked the juju 1uan, one fell on the verandah, one fell into the flower garden, one fell to the back of the fish tank, the two xiao maids were sweating profusely, he giggled, the happier he played, and thought of kicking the juju into those corners, a ball of childishness.

Brother Jin smiled and played with him for a while, raised his eyelids to look at Chang'an, who was waving his arms seriously under the big tree on the side according to Master Pang's requirements, felt a little bored, and sneered at Mo Changshun's head: "You can play by yourself!" Then he sat down on the side of the beauty.

Ah Jin hurriedly brought a glass of warm water over: "Young master, do you want to change your clothes?" ”

"No need!" Brother Jin took the teacup and drank it all, "Hasn't my mother come back yet?" ”

Mrs. Huang of Yongchang Hou was sick, and Eleven Niang accompanied Mrs. Tai to visit the patient.

"Not yet!" Ah Jin smiled, "Do you want me to send someone to the weeping flower mén to watch—we'll know as soon as the fourth lady returns!" ”

"Forget it!" Brother Jin was lying on the beauty, and the two tuǐ dangled boringly, "I'm still here waiting for my mother to come back!" ”

Ah Jin smiled and replied "yes": "Why don't I wash some plums and apricots?" ”

"Don't wash it!" The sun shone on the net day, and Brother Jin looked a little lazy, "Last time, Changshun ate a plate alone, but at night he had a stomachache, and we didn't sleep well." ”

As he was talking, Xu Lingyi walked in.

"Why are you lying on your stomach here?" He wondered, "What about your mother?" ”

"Daddy!" Brother Jin jumped off the beauty leaning and gave Xu Lingyi a salute.

When Chang'an and Changshun saw each other, they also hurriedly ran over and saluted respectfully.

"Mother hasn't come back yet!" Brother Jin said, "Did Daddy have lunch?" "He looks like an adult.

Xu Lingyi laughed when she heard this: "I've eaten it." He thought his son's appearance was funny, and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I've eaten it too!" Brother Jin said, "I've also taken a nap!" "Rather disapprovingly.

"Are you done with your homework?" Xu Lingyi asked him with a smile.

"It's done!" Brother Jin tilted his head and looked at his father, "Not only did I finish my homework, but I also finished reading the books that my mother asked me to read first, practiced horse walking, and played Keju with Changshun...... "I looked like I had nothing to do."

Xu Lingyi looked at the movement in his heart and said with a smile: "Then do you want to go horseback riding with your father?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Brother Jin jumped up, "I'm going to go horseback riding with Daddy!" His face lit up.

"That's good," Xu Lingyi looked in a much better mood, "You go change into a short brown, let's go horseback riding!" ”

Brother Jin ran back to the house with joy.

When Eleven Niang came back, Brother Jin had just finished taking a bath, his face was ruddy, and he was sitting on the brocade with a bright look and talking to Ah Jin, who was helping him wipe the red lines of his wet hair: "...... Sitting on a horse, you can see far away. Those little guys and grooms are all at my feet. As soon as you stretch out your hand, you can pick the leaves on the top of your head...... When the horses ran up, they went up and down, and it was very uncomfortable, but the wind blew in the face, the clothes were hunting, and the trees and houses were left far behind, which was interesting! Hearing the movement, he looked over. Seeing that it was Eleven Niang, she immediately pounced, "Mother, mother, Daddy took me to ride a horse this afternoon!" "Very excited," and the fourth and fifth brothers. The fourth brother also praised me for being bold! ”

Eleven Niang was surprised.

Didn't you say that you didn't learn to ride a horse until you were ten years old?

She looked up.

Xu Lingyi came out of the inner room.

"This afternoon, I happened to take Brother Jin and Brother Jie'er to the horse farm," he said with a smile, "I saw Brother Jin at home alone, so I took Brother Jin with me!" Then he said, "What happened to Mrs. Huang?" You came back so late, is she very sick? ”

"It's just a cold." Eleven Niang said, "Did Niang and Mrs. Huang get together and say something considerate." So came back late. Saying that, he said with some concern, "Riding a horse is very dangerous, and my brother is still ......."

She had seen children who had been injured by a fall while riding a horse.

"Don't worry!" Xu Lingyi felt that Eleven Niang was too nervous about Brother Jin'er, "They all rode docile horses that had been trained, and there were masters who rode on Jīng Tong watching from the side, at first they just let him sit on the back of the horse and let the masters lead the horse for a few laps, or take him Xiao to run two laps." There will be no problem! ”

"It's better to be careful!" Eleven Niang felt that Xu Lingyi was a little unimpressed in this matter, "Brother Jin is still young, and he doesn't even have the strength to pull the reins, let alone drive a horse." In my opinion, it is better to let him learn to ride a horse after he is ten years old! ”

Xu Lingyi didn't plan to let Brother Jin learn to ride a horse so early, but he just thought that boys liked to ride horses and took him to play. He said "um" and talked to Eleven Niang about Second Master Luo and Third Master Luo: "Count the days, I should enter Beijing in these two days." You are also ready to prepare, and when the time comes, we will take the children to say hello to the two uncles. ”

Eleven Niang nodded and said softly: "The matter of the two uncles...... But are you all eyebrow-raising? ”

Although Luo Zhenxing was helping the specific cao office, Xu Lingyi did not go to Chen Gelao, who was also the secretary of the ministry.

"We'll talk about it then!" He said vaguely, "It is subject to the public of the ministry." ”

Xu Lingyi threw his voice on the ground, and he would not promise casually if he was not completely sure.

Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that the neglected Brother Jin was unhappy, and pulled her mother's sleeve: "Mother, mother, whose horse is it faster than my fifth brother today?" ”

"Oh!" Eleven Niang squinted at Xu Lingyi, "Didn't you say that you just sat on the horse and walked around twice?" Why is it faster than anyone's horse? ”

Xu Lingyi looked at Eleven Niang and smiled.

Brother Jin'er's face turned red, and he said, "Let's sit behind the master and see whose horse runs fast!" ”

"Really?" Eleven Niang smiled and hugged her son, "Don't wipe your head dry yet, Xiao's heart is cold." As he spoke, he went into the inner room.

Xu Lingyi followed, and took the opportunity to pinch her Ana's waist: "I can't lie to you yet!" Shi Niang exclaimed in a low voice.

"Mother!" Brother Jin hurriedly hugged his mother's neck, "What's wrong with you?" "I was surprised.

"Nothing." Eleven Niang couldn't hold back a smile, "I was stared at by a bedbug!" ”

Brother Jin'er's eyes were even more incomprehensible: "Bed bugs? Aren't bed bugs just stinky farts? Why does it still bite? ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing, and the corners of her eyes turned to Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi looked at their mother and son with a smile, with a little helplessness in her eyes.

Eleven Niang laughed.

I had been feeling a little depressed all of a sudden, and the sky was clear.

Second Master Luo has been working as a Beijing official, and after arriving in Shandong, he is not a big man who dominates one side, and he feels that he is the same as in Yanjing, he is restricted everywhere, and there is not much oil and water to fish, and he has to go to the countryside to urge food and endowment, which is even harder than before, and he wants to return to the sixth department. In the end, he found a position as a general secretary. Although it is the same Qingshui Yamén, he is only responsible for looking at the twists and turns every day, and he is also an official of the six ministries, which seems to be more noble, and he is still very satisfied with the second master Luo, who is tired of specific affairs. Master Luo San is different. First, he is still young, and secondly, his two sons are still xiao, if he can compete for the title of the third grade, he will be able to walk with a son. Xu Lingyi worked hard and finally sought the lack of the prefect of Jinan Prefecture.

Everyone loved it.

After a brief reunion in Yanjing, Luo Sanye's family went to office, and Second Master Luo and Mrs. Luo settled down in Lao Hutang. After Mrs. Tai's birthday, Mrs. Luo asked Siniang to accompany her and invited Eleventh Niang to her home to eat wine and listen to plays.

Eleven Niang took the children with her.

Siniang asked Xu Sizhen: "...... Will you participate in the township test this year? ”

"Participate!" Eleven Niang smiled, "I wrote back during the Chinese New Year." In June, I went to Yanjing. I'm getting ready for him to come back! ”

Siniang nodded and didn't say anything more.

Second Mrs. Luo's eyes fell on Xu Sijie, who had been by Shi Niang's side: "Brother Jie'er is also twelve years old this year, right?" Are you going to try it out this year? ”

Xu Sijie's face turned red all of a sudden.

"The kid just wants to give it a try." Eleven Niang didn't want to embarrass Xu Sijie, so she smiled and relieved him, "But I think he's still young, so there's no need to be in such a hurry." Let's study for two years first. He added, "This year, Brother Yu is going to participate in the township test, and next year Brother Yu is going to say kiss, if he is caught in the middle again, I really can't take care of it!" ”

The corners of Mrs. Luo's mouth twitched, and what did she say, Siniang had already "coughed" lightly, and said, "Did the eleventh sister receive the letter from the seventh sister?" She's pregnant again. ”

"I received a letter from the seventh sister." Eleven Niang glanced at Siniang with a smile and asked Second Mrs. Luo, "Is she okay?" ”

"Good, good, good." Second Mrs. Luo mentioned this hard-working NV, and her face couldn't hide her joy, "Her mother-in-law treats her as a treasure now, and only begs her to have a few more children, so that she can spread the branches and leaves for the Zhu family!" Then he talked about Qi Niang endlessly, and never mentioned Xu Sijie again.

Eleven Niang smiled and sat there quietly listening, secretly relieved.
