Chapter 623: Academics (II)
“… Back in the house, Eleven Niang told Xu Lingyi: ...... Hou Ye will have to make it clear to Master Pang at that time, lest Master Pang not know the inside story, and it will be bad for Brother Xu'er to fall and stumble because of this! ”
"I'll make it clear to Master Pang!" Xu Lingyi said with a smile, and beckoned Brother Jin to speak, "Since you have learned from the master, you must study hard." You can't fish for three days and dry for two days. Otherwise, you will be punished by the master! Brother Jin nodded again and again: "I won't be punished by the master!" ”
"That's good." Xu Lingyi smiled, "You have to remember your words!" ”
Brother Jin smiled and nodded, and ran to Eleven Niang, who was sitting on the kang to sort out the loose cloth, "Mother, mother, do you want to make a schoolbag for the seventh brother!" ”
"yes!" Eleven Niang smiled and hugged her son to the kang.
Brother Jin lay on his mother's lap, and looked at Eleven Niang with big phoenix eyes without blinking: "Mother, the second brother has books there, as well as pen, ink and paper...... There is also a big tiger carved on the inkstone, and the eyes of the pine ...... are full of envy.
The inkstone used by Brother Yu was rewarded by the second lady, and it was a piece of the end inkstone of the previous dynasty, which was very precious.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile and pinched her son's nose: "Little villain, my mother has already prepared for you." As he spoke, he took out a boxwood box carved with a pattern of fishing and ploughing from the kang next to him: "Here you go!" ”
Brother Jin looked at the box but the size of the inkstone, hesitantly opened the box, which was neatly arranged with brushes and ink inkstones, the pen barrel was bamboo, and a monkey holding a peach was carved on it, and the monkey's hair was delicate and lifelike; Moshi is also a monkey, but climbing on Moshi, the inkstone is carved with a monkey picking up pine nuts under the pine forest to eat. All three things are small, delicate and cute, and full of fun.
Brother Jin shouted and threw himself into Shi Niang's arms, Shi Niang was unprepared, and he threw himself backwards, almost hitting the kang.
Xu Lingyi's eyes were quick, he grabbed his son, and shouted: "I'm going to school, why are you still so frizzy!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Eleven Niang smiled and relieved her son.
Brother Jin struggled disapprovingly and threw herself into Eleven Niang's arms: "Mother, this is all for me!" ”
"yes!" Eleven Niang hugged her son, "It's good-looking, right?" My mother specially went to Duobao Pavilion to book. ”
"Beautiful!" Brother Jin nodded again and again, "My eyes are smiling like a curved moon." Then he got up from his mother's arms, hugged the box and slid off the kang. "Mother, I'm going to see the seventh brother!"
"It's so late!" Eleven Niang was a little surprised, she looked out the window, "Let's go again tomorrow!" ”
"Go and go back!" Brother Jin'er's eyes were shining, "I'll let Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu follow." Guaranteed not to mess around uh......"
Eleven Niang suddenly.
Where is he going to see Brother Xu, he is clearly going to show off.
"If you want to go, you can put the box here." Eleven Niang smiled, "Be careful to break the things in the box." ”
She cares about her son's face, and she doesn't break it.
Brother Jin pouted, his eyes rolling.
Eleven Niang didn't see it, so she called Hongwen in: "It's not too early, let's go wash up with the sixth young master!" ”
"Go and hold my brother's hand."
Brother Jin pulled his head and followed Hongwen.
Eleven Niang laughed.
If he is allowed to go, Brother Xu'er will definitely slander him, and the fifth lady will not think about Ansheng tonight.
She cleaned up the odd pieces on the kang table: "Master Hou, the concubine also serves sì, you can wash up!" ”
"No need," Xu Lingyi sat opposite his wife, "Just call the little maid in!" ”
Eleven Niang called the little girl.
Xu Lingyi told her about Brother Jin's schooling: "Don't be distressed when you see your child suffering, you don't go when it's hot, you don't go when it's cold." If you have bad habits, you won't be able to do anything in the future! ”
"Look at what Master Hou said." Eleven Niang put a few pieces of cloth on the side of the small rattan pipe, "Am I that kind of person?" ”
Xu Lingyi smiled: "Don't talk about it." Mother is an assertive person, right? At the beginning, my second brother just gave up halfway. ”
"Why didn't you see your second brother, you wouldn't be in the climate!" Eleven Niang and him raised the bar.
Xu Lingyi was speechless.
"Got it!" Eleven Niang glanced at him, "I must urge Brother Jin to go to school every day." Guaranteed not to delay his studies! ”
Under the light, she squinted over, sparkling and rippling like spring water.
Xu Lingyi was moved and shook Eleven Niang's hand.
Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled.
There was a heart-pounding ambiguity in the room.
The corners of Xu Lingyi's mouth twitched, and he was about to say something, when a red stripe suddenly came from outside the house and exclaimed: "Sixth young master, Madam said, let you go again tomorrow ......"
Eleven Niang was stunned, and Xu Lingyi walked out of the curtain with an arrow step. When Eleven Niang went out, Xu Lingyi was looking for the child: "I definitely didn't go out of the yard door, light all the lanterns, and find them for me carefully!" ”
He stood on the steps, his bright eyes were as sharp as falcons, and the maids and mothers-in-law around him were either carrying stools, or carrying the iron penny for hanging lanterns, or picking up lanterns to take a picture of the corner of the courtyard, bustling and chaotic.
Hearing the movement, Xu Lingyi turned around: "This kid, his hands and feet are too fast." When I came, the man was gone. There was a bit of helplessness in his tone.
The red stripe of the lantern on the side heard it and immediately walked over.
"Madam", her face turned red, and she was about to cry: "It's all because I didn't hold ...... for a while"
The older Brother Jin'er gets, the more these maids can't look down on him. I'll have to help her find a personal guy who can stop him. Otherwise, when he arrives in the outer courtyard in a few years, "Xu Lingyi can't stare at him all day long" I'm afraid that there will be no one to stop him.
"I know." Eleven Niang comforted her, but also a little helpless, "Go and light the lantern!" ”
As soon as her words fell, Xu Lingyi had already taken three steps and made two steps to stand by the holly tree next to the steps.
"Do you come out on your own, or let me bring it out!" He smiled at the holly trees trimmed into a hedgerow.
There was a sound of xxxx, and the flat-mouthed Brother Jin stood up holding the boxwood box, with a few pieces of dead grass hanging on his head.
"How did Daddy know I was here?" He muttered quietly, but his eyes glanced timidly at Eleven Niang.
"This courtyard is so big, and there is no way to see it through the hall, and it is a road to go out, even adults can't run out in such a short time, let alone a child like you." Xu Lingyi didn't scold him loudly, but patiently and carefully replied to Brother Jin'er's sleepiness, "You either hid in the wing, or you hid in some corner of the courtyard." Knowing that I'm looking for you, who would dare to hide you, maid and mother-in-law. That's hiding in the courtyard. The lantern is lit, the courtyard is brightly lit, and you are wearing a big red dress, red and green, and naturally you will be found soon. ”
Brother Jin looked down at the silk crane of the big red-bottomed gourd vase on his body, and frowned in annoyance: "I knew this, so I changed my clothes and came out!" ”
Eleven Niang couldn't cry or laugh.
Hongwen hurriedly hugged Brother Jin out: "Master Hou, madam, I took the sixth young master to wash." "I look like I'm afraid that Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang will pursue the big things and turn them into small things.
"Wait!" Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang stopped the red veins in unison.
The two couldn't help but glance at each other.
In front of so many servants, considering Xu Lingyi's majesty, Eleven Niang took a step back and motioned for Xu Lingyi to speak first.
Xu Lingyi took Brother Jin from Hong Wen's hand, and while going to the house, he asked him: "If you change your clothes", can you hide? Brother Jin thought for a while: "I wear green clothes!" ”
"What if we look for it little by little?" Xu Lingyi went to the inner room.
Eleven Niang followed.
Seeing Brother Jin tilting his head and not making a sound, his eyes flashed with stubbornness.
Xu Lingyi sat on the kang near the window and let Brother Jin stand in front of him.
"Your mother doesn't agree with you to go out, and you insist on going out, so the maid and mother-in-law are naturally not allowed. You don't even use your brains, you don't want to find a way to just break out like this", he looked at his son lightly, "I really didn't expect it!" ”
Although he is telling Brother Jin to do things strategically, how does this sound like...... It's like I like Brother Jin to do it right with my parents!
Eleven Niang couldn't help frowning: "...... Hou Ye" interrupted Xu Lingyi's words.
Xu Lingyi didn't look at her, and raised her hand with a serious expression and made a "forbidden" gesture.
In front of her son, Eleven Niang had to endure the words.
"It's not something you can do with what you wear!" Xu Lingyi continued, "If you think about my words carefully, is this the truth? ”
Brother Jin pursed his lips and lowered his head.
Xu Lingyi didn't speak.
The room was quiet and the atmosphere was solemn.
After a while, Brother Jin raised his head: "Then, then I slipped out the back door with poison!" "His gaze was a little wandering, and he looked very unconfident.
"There's a mother-in-law on night duty at the back door." Xu Lingyi splashed cold water on Brother Jin'er's head, "What's more, if there are red lines following you out of the front door or out of the back door, the result is not the same!" ”
Brother Jin'er was in good spirits, and he saw a faint smile in his father's eyes.
"Then I'll run to the yard first, and then sneak to the back door!" Without timidity, Brother Jin'er's mind spun quickly, and he said loudly, "You are all looking for me in the front yard, and I can go out through the back door!" ”
Isn't this a plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain!
Xu Lingyi's few words made Brother Jin think of this idea.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but stare. Well, when parents argue in front of their children, it will make the children seem very helpless, and she endured it so that she didn't speak.
"Then you'll have to be faster than me!" Xu Lingyi couldn't hold back her joy anymore, and a smile overflowed from the bottom of her eyes to her eyebrows.
"That, that ......" Brother Jin'er's eyes rolled straight, thinking of countermeasures.
Xu Lingyi scolded: "Don't look left and right! When others see that your eyes are rolling, they know that you are thinking about something. When the time comes, others will see you clearly, but you will not know anything about others. It's going to be a big loss! ”
Brother Jin hurriedly said "oh", and his eyes immediately settled.
Xu Lingyi nodded with satisfaction.
Brother Jin'er's expression was even more relaxed.
"Then I'll wait for Hongwen to go to fetch water and secretly turn out of the warm pavilion, you go to the front yard to look for it, I'll go through the back door, you look for it in the back yard, I'll go through the front door. By the time you appear, I'll be out, and you won't be able to find me!" ”
