, also, this is not the time to return to Beijing to report on work, and it is not the time to degrade the imperial court, the third master came back like this, and Mrs. Tai can guess a few points. What's more, Mrs. Tai has always been lenient and generous to the third master, and when he went out as an official, not only did he not face the Xu family, but he didn't even do his duty, so he didn't know how angry he should be.

"Then you have to tell your mother quickly." Eleven Niang said, "You talked for most of the day in the outer academy, and left the third master to have lunch at home before returning to Mitsui Hutong." There are many people in the family, where can I hide it! ”

"It's just two days of work." Xu Lingyi said, "You have been discussing the marriage of your sister Zhen with your mother a lot these days, and you have stumped your mother." I'll tell my mother step by step about the third brother's coming back. With the happy event of Sister Zhen in front, my mother just knew about the third brother, and her anger would be a little less. ”

Eleven Niang nodded: "The concubine will tell the Hou Ye to say." ”

Brother Jin ran in on his little clothes.

"Sixth Young Master, Sixth Young Master." Gu's mother shouted quietly, and chased after him with a look of trepidation.

"What's going on?" Before Xu Lingyi's words were finished, Brother Jin had already climbed into bed.

"Sleep with your mother, sleep with your mother." Brother Jin muttered and got into the quilt. He also dragged the horns to death, as if he was afraid that someone would take him away.

Gu's mother looked at Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang uneasily.

Xu Lingyi's heart softened when she saw her son like this, and immediately waved her hand at Gu's mother and motioned her to retreat.

Eleven Niang's face was a little hot.

Gu's mother was like that, and she clearly knew why Xu Lingyi sent the child to sleep in the warm pavilion.

She hid her embarrassment and sat on the edge of the bed.

Brother Jin immediately got up and stabbed into Eleven Niang's arms: "Mother, tell a story, tell a story!" ”

I told him the story for a long time just now, and it was not easy for him to calm down. If Qiu Yu hadn't come to her and said that Xu Lingyi had something to say to her when she came back, she wouldn't have left Brother Jin, who had not fallen asleep, to Gu's mother and others.

Eleven Niang smiled and touched his head: "Then you can find Mr. Zhao's album!" ”

Brother Jin immediately obediently climbed out of her arms and ran to the warm pavilion, and then ran back and raised the album in his hand, his face full of pride.

Looking at his cute appearance, let alone Eleven Niang, even Xu Lingyi couldn't help laughing, ......, "What story does Brother Jin want to tell?" Eleven Niang squatted beside Brother Jin'er, looking at her son levelly.

"Kong Rong let the pear!"

"Then you turn to, Kong Rong let the pear, that page of the mother to you!"

Brother Jin leaned on the bed, turned to the page where Kong Rongrang pear was drawn, and then took it to Eleven Niang: "Mother, tell a story!" ”

Eleven Niang was surprised.

She didn't expect Brother Jin to remember. She just wanted to tell Brother Jin to read step by step through the things that Brother Jin was interested in.

"Why are you so smart!" Before Eleven Niang could speak, Xu Lingyi had already picked up Brother Jin and lifted him high into the air.

Brother Jin giggled, and his little face shone like a sunny huā until the bottom of Xu Lingyi's heart.

He threw him twice like his son did when he was a child.

Brother Jin smiled more cheerfully, and Ji Shi Niang only felt that her heart was raised.

"No, no!" She stopped Xu Lingyi, "Brother Jin is older now, not as good as when he was a child." Now my mother can't hold it......... Be careful when falling to the ground. ”

"It's only a few pounds." Xu Lingyi disagreed, and Brother Jin shouted "Daddy" flatteringly and motioned for him to throw it again.

Eleven Niang hurriedly tugged Xu Lingyi's shoulder, "It's all the beginning of this, if you continue to make trouble with him like this, he should be restless again." ”

Xu Lingyi sounded reasonable, and smiled at Brother Jin'er: "Your mother is not allowed!" ”

Brother Jin turned around and asked for Eleven Niang's hug, and shouted "Mother" with Jiao'er.

Shi Niang didn't hug him either, and asked him: "Do you want to listen to the story?" I wanted to listen to the story, so I went to bed with my mother to rest. If you don't want to listen to the story, play with Daddy here! ”

Brother Jin wants to play with his father and listen to his mother's stories. He hesitated, looked at his father with a gentle expression, and then at his mother, who had a slight face, and opened his arms to his mother with a very bright eye: "Listen to the story, listen to the story." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and hugged her son in her arms: "Let's tell the story of Kong Rong Rang Pear." ”

Brother Jin felt his mother's joy and took the opportunity to say: "I also want to talk about smashing the cylinder with light." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing: "It's Sima Guang smashing the cylinder." ”

"Division ......" ...... Smash the cylinder! ”

Sima Guang's name was pronounced vaguely and was always a little unclear.

Eleven Niang told him again, but he still couldn't read it clearly.

Brother Jin opened his mouth with four words, which made people quite surprised, but after more than a month, he always stayed on four words, and it was difficult to say one more word.

Haste makes waste.

Eleven Niang smiled and kissed her son's cheek, no longer forcing him, and wrapped him in a thin quilt to tell a story.

Mr. Zhao's album has a lively life, with a small story on the side, which is more suitable for children aged five or six, but it is not very attractive to Brother Jin. He has less time to read the album and more time to listen to Eleven Niang's stories. When the child fell asleep, Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi discussed: "There are too few pictures in the album, it is better to draw one sentence at a time." ”

When Eleven Niang told Brother Jin a story, Xu Lingyi kept patting Brother Jin gently, which was why Brother Jin fell asleep quickly.

He pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said so! I'm a little busy these days," you and Brother Jin are using Mr. Zhao's album for the time being. Wait until June, I'll be free, and I'll draw a picture album for Brother Jin'er! ”

Eleven Niang sweats!

She was going to draw a picture album for Brother Jin by herself, but she didn't expect Xu Lingyi to do it.

The thought flashed, but the scene of Xu Lingyi sweating on the table and drawing a picture album for Brother Jin'er appeared in his mind, but he was desperately fanning on the side.

When she thought of this, she felt funny, and her narrow heart stood up.

"Good! All right! Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi with a smile, "Then Brother Jin'er's album will bother Master Hou!" ”

It is his responsibility to educate his son. In the past, because he was fighting outside all the year round, he couldn't help but take care of it, but now that he is idle at home, of course he has to take care of it. Why does Eleven Niang's appearance have a few sly flavors?

Xu Lingyi looked at Eleven Niang, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Are you smiling too brightly?

Eleven Niangsi hurriedly changed the topic: "I heard that Mr. Zhao is going to continue his career?" Is it true? ”

Mr. Zhao has settled down in the past two years, and he has begun to study hard after teaching," she heard some rumors. If that's the case, you have to prepare in advance to find another teacher for Brother Chen!

Xu Lingyi looked at Eleven Niang, who looked slightly solemn, and wondered if she was too careful. He threw his mind behind him and said, "I asked Mr. Zhao." Listening to his tone, he is still ready to participate in the next imperial examination. So I instructed the secretary of the chamber to "add another fifty taels of silver to Mr. Zhao every year." ”

In this way, Mr. Zhao's annual salary is one hundred taels of silver. In terms of the treatment of Mr. Sitting in the Pavilion, I am afraid that there are only a few people who can compare with him in the entire Jia Zhou.

The owner treats him with such courtesy, if he passes the exam, will he go? Or is it better to stay?

Eleven Niang smiled: "Mr. Zhao is only afraid that he will not accept this silver." ”

Xu Lingyi saw that Eleven Niang understood his intentions, and said with a smile: "He did politely refuse." However, I also told him that what I entrusted to him was not only the work of the children, but also the future of the Yongping Marquis Mansion. Shu Xiu just wants to tell the world who he is in my eyes! ”

Eleven Niang sweated.

As soon as these words came out, no matter how many thoughts Mr. Zhao had, I am afraid that he would only have to accept it.

She didn't expect Xu Lingyi, who usually talks very little, to say such mellow words.

The thought flashed, and I felt that it was appropriate and reasonable.

If Xu Lingyi couldn't say such things, he wouldn't be able to go today.

"Besides, I don't know how many people won the championship in one fell swoop after ten years of hard study in Guozijian." Xu Lingyi said lightly, "It doesn't hurt that he will devote himself to reading for a few more years, and it will only be good for the future." ”

So Mr. Zhao was slandered by his calculations in his heart.

The next day, when Qiao Lianfang and Aunt Wen came to greet her, she left Aunt Wen to speak: "Copy the eldest lady's dowry list completely, and then go to Mrs. Tai with me and show Mrs. Tai." ”

Aunt Wen was stunned.

Eleven Niang asked her to help buy a dowry for Sister Zhen'er, she was already grateful in her heart, and she never expected that she would be allowed to participate in Sister Zhen'er's wedding.

She hurriedly got up and said goodbye: "I'll go and copy the dowry list of the eldest lady." ”

Eleven Niang nodded.

Xu Siyu came over to greet her.

"I came back too late yesterday" The inner courtyard was already locked, so I didn't come to disturb my mother. His expression was a little serious, "Fang Tan Huā, I have made an appointment to come over tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he hesitated.

Brother Fang has become Fang Tanhuā.

Eleven Niang nodded secretly.

Xu Siyu really grew up. I know that this is not the time to talk about the private relationship between the two.

"There are no outsiders here." When Xu Siyu came in, she sent the servants in the house" "Although you are the younger brother of Brother Qin, you are the eldest son of our house. Brothers and sisters will rely on you for many more times in the future! Although this matter is small, it is also a dispute between the two families: "I have a headache. If you have a good idea, you should help me! ”

Xu Siyu's face was slightly pale when he listened, and he replied "yes" and said slowly: "I went to the eldest brother first, I want to hear what he means, so that I can talk when I see Fang Tanhuā." As a result, my eldest brother told me that he neither wanted to divorce his wife nor divorce. As he spoke, he glanced at Eleven Niang, and saw that Eleven Niang did not look a little surprised, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "I got his voice, and then went to Fang Tan Huā." As soon as Fang Tan Huā saw me, he hurriedly pulled me into the house, said a bunch of words about my sister-in-law's worrying situation, and said that as an elder brother, he must not watch his sister being bullied like this, and he has written a letter to ask the personal maid to rush back to Huzhou overnight, and ask the elders of the family to come forward and reason with our family. ”

"And what do you say?" Eleven Niang asked him.

"I said, housework, it was the mother-in-law who said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the public said that the public was reasonable." Xu Si said, "But there is no one like you, who did not come to persuade peace, but came up and shouted for the husband and wife to reconcile and separate." You said that my sister-in-law was in a difficult situation in our family, but we felt that everyone in the family, from Mrs. Tai to our younger brothers and sisters, loved and cared for my sister-in-law, but we really didn't understand where to start. So my mother wants to ask you, what the hell is going on? ”
