Bin Ju hurriedly explained on the side: "Madam, the fifth young master heard that you are back, and if I have to come to see you, we can't stop you......"

The main reason is that Xu Sijie is now a young master, so it's hard to stop!

Eleven Niang looked at his fist-clenched hand and asked softly, "Brother Jie, do you want to give me candy?" Will you give me the candy that Brother Zhen gave you? ”

He was held in his arms by Hamaju, his head bowed, and he was stunned and silent.

Eleven Niang's heart was soft and sighed softly.

Her subconscious refusal made this child sad!

Shi Niang got up, touched his head, and her voice became softer: "Brother Jie, do you want to give me sugar?" ”

Xu Sijie raised his head and looked at Eleven Niang with some uncertainty.

Eleven Niang looked at him with a bright smile.

The two looked at each other silently.

Binju said uneasily: "Madam, after you leave, the fourth young master wants to teach the fifth young master to kick the shuttlecock, but the fifth young master refuses, so he has to come back; The fourth young master took the walnut cake out again to coax the fifth young master, but he still couldn't coax it. I had no choice but to bring the Fifth Young Master back. He refused to go into the house, clinging to the pillars of the verandah in front of the door. We had no choice but to wrap the fifth young master in a cloak and accompany him to stand here. When it was time to eat, he refused to let go, and Holly and I not only took turns to persuade him, but also brought the mutton soup made by Wu's mother on our stove here to coax him into the house to eat...... finally coaxed the fifth young master into the house. I don't know who said it, Madame is back. He rolls out of his chair and runs into your room. As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered, "Let's wonder first, how can the fifth young master clench his fists and not let go...... I didn't expect to have a candy in my hand. ”

Shi Niang's expression gradually became calm and quiet, and she said again: "Brother Jie, is the nest candy given by Brother Zhen delicious?" ”

He nodded, shook his head again, and slowly opened his fisted hand.

Because it was too long to hold it, the rose-colored nest candy that had melted on the surface was once again displayed in front of Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang smiled and took sugar from his palm.

It may be that it is stained with sweat on your hands, and the entrance is a little salty.

"Hmm!" The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and her smile rippled in her eyes, "This nest of candy is very sweet." ”

Xu Sijie pursed his lips and smiled, his beautiful phoenix eyes were like stars in the summer night, shining with pleasure.

Eleven Niang instructed Binju: "Help him wash his hands, and then find out his candy - lest he hide it on the bed or under the pillow and melt." Thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and added, "Give him a small box specially used to put things, and let him get into the habit of putting things in the box." ”

Binju nodded hurriedly.

Eleven Niang smiled and rubbed Xu Sijie's head: "Remember, what are you going to do next time, remember to tell me first!" Then she looked at him with sincere eyes and asked what he meant.

Xu Sijie nodded, and suddenly said, "Sugar sweet." ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly showed a big smile: "We are so good at commanding my brother." Talk to me like this from now on. Got it? ”

Xu Sijie smiled and nodded.

Eleven Niang asked Binju: "Did he eat it?" ”

Binju had a bitter face: "I ate two dumplings." ”

I just haven't eaten it yet......

Eleven Niang thought for a while and said, "The eldest young master and the second young master, are they still playing with Mrs. Tai?" ”

When they entered the palace to congratulate, they handed over several children to Du's mother.

Binju nodded: "When I came, several young masters were making up for sleep in the fourth young master's house!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and admonished Xu Si: "Do you want to follow me?" ”

Xu Sijie nodded again and again.

Eleven Niang smiled: "What did I tell you just now?" What you are going to do, say it. Got it? ”

Xu Sijie immediately said: "I'll follow!" ”

"Okay, you can eat the dumplings that Binju fed you, and I'll take you."

When Xu Sijie heard this, he immediately pushed away Binju and ran out.

"Fifth Young Master!" Binju stomped her feet, hurriedly said to Eleven Niang, "I'll take a look" and chased after her.

Amber, who was serving on the side, smiled, "Do you really want to take the Fifth Young Master with you?" I'm afraid that someone will come to greet you for the New Year! ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Let the little maid tell him to kick the shuttlecock in the inner room." ”

Xu Sijie is not a clingy child, as long as Eleven Niang is in a place where he can see, he will be quiet. If Eleven Niang met guests in the east room and asked the little maid to lead him to the west room to play, he would definitely not be noisy.

Through the observation of the past few days, Amber more or less knows some of Xu Sijie's habits, listening to what Eleven Niang said, he didn't refute it, and helped Eleven Niang change into a pink plain brocade gown, a dark green trimmed skirt, and Xu Lingyi, who was already wearing homely casual clothes, walked in: "Okay?" ”

His eyes lit up.

The pink brocade made her face look like a peach.

"That's it!" Eleven Niang got up with a smile, "But Binju is still feeding Brother Jie's food-let's wait!" ”

Xu Lingyi frowned slightly: "When has this been, why are you still eating?" You have to tell him the rules later. ”

"He's just here!" Eleven Niang smiled, "There is a process of getting used to it. ”

Xu Lingyi didn't say anything more, and sat on the big kang near the window.

"We also made dumplings on the stove today, why don't I come to Hou Ye to pad my stomach?"

"No need." Xu Lingyi refused without thinking.

Eleven Niang thought of him for three meals a day, snacks and fruits were not touched at night, and she was not reluctant, so she smiled and sat down with him.

"Let's go to Jiang's house in the afternoon!" Xu Lingyi said suddenly, "Raise your head to marry your daughter, bow your head to marry your daughter-in-law." What's more, this family affair was ordered by the old lady of the Jiang family and Jiang Bai, and Jiang Song was not very happy. Our family must show sincerity. ”

Don't blame many people! What's more, when it comes to Xu Lingyi's status, others will only think you are humble.

Shi Niang nodded: "I looked at the account book a few days ago, and such relatives exchanged, and the gift was only fifty taels ......."

"It's fifty taels!" Xu Lingyi said without hesitation, "I'll ask Manager Zhao to pick a few calligraphy and paintings from the library and send them over." ”

Eleven Niang nodded yes, and took the T-shaped pair of cards given by Mrs. Tai and asked Amber to get the painting.

The little maid came: "The fifth young master is here!" ”

"Come in!" Eleven Niang nodded, and Binju walked in with Xu Sijie in her arms.

Xu Sijie saw that Xu Lingyi was also present, and his eyes immediately sparkled.

Binju led him to salute Xu Lingyi, and he stood there motionless looking up at Xu Lingyi, completely devoid of his previous agility, and looked a little dazed.

Eleven Niang looked funny and said, "Eat it so quickly?" ”

Because Xu Lingyi was there, Binju was very respectful: "I ate nine dumplings!" ”

Eleven Niang nodded, and smiled at Xu Si: "Brother Jie's is really good." ”

Xu Sijie was happy.

Xu Lingyi frowned: "Why doesn't this kid speak?" ”

Xu Sijie immediately took two steps back slightly, and his little face was tense.

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to hug Xu Sijie: "Let's go to Mrs. Tai!" ”

"Doesn't he know how to walk?" Xu Lingyi got up and said strangely, "Let Binju hug it?" Be careful that the child slips on the ground. ”

It's really hard to hold a three-year-old child at first, Eleven Niang gave the child to Binju according to her words, and said with a smile: "It takes two teas to go to Mrs. Tai, and Brother Jie's is still too young." ”

Xu Lingyi just asked casually.

He has no experience working with children.

As a father for the first time, the child was in the belly when he left, and when he came back, the child could run and jump. By the time he arrived at Brother Chen, he had already moved to Banyuepan, and later went on an expedition......

Eleven Niang was thinking about going to Jiang's house.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I just came back from the palace, and the first thing I did was to visit Jiang's house.

It seems that he not only decided to complete this marriage, but also attached great importance to it.

She thought of something she had always kept in her heart - Brother Chen's teacher candidate.

"Master Hou, didn't the second sister-in-law say last time that Brother Qin and Brother Yu are very good at learning, so do you want to invite a Xixi to come? The Jiang family is in the hometown school, why don't you ask the Jiang family to help recommend someone......"

Xu Lingyi shook his head lightly: "After all, our two families have not officially ceremonial. After a pause, he added, "What's more, the Jiang family's school attaches more importance to Bagu articles than poetry and songs. I think it's better to forget it! ”

Shi Niang thought that Xu Lingyi had said that the deceased old marquis had also prevented the third master from participating in the imperial examination.

She thought about her time in the Luo family again. Whether it is the eldest lord or the eldest wife, they all told Luo Zhenxing and Luo Zhensheng to learn eight articles to participate in the imperial examination, and also said that poetry and songs are all evil demons. The Xu family, on the other hand, discouraged children from participating in the imperial examinations. You must know that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the imperial examination was born on the right path, and the others were regarded as wild fox Zen and could not be put on the stage. Xu Lingyi has a concubine and a son-in-law, but there is only one title of Marquis of Yongping. The best way to minimize these conflicts is to encourage children to be self-reliant – after all, the battle for a title is also a competition for the right to live, and if other children have the ability to survive, they will be much less coveted than those who cannot take care of themselves in life.

Eleven Niang hopes that Xu Siyu and Xu Sijie can support themselves......

"Master Hou's idea is really strange." She tried to communicate with Xu Lingyi, "I've only heard of teaching my children to study the Bagu article well, and I haven't heard of someone asking Mr. Xixi to teach the Bagu article!" ”

Eleven Niang is a daughter of the Luo family and grew up in the inner courtyard, so these views are naturally the views of the Luo family.

Xu Lingyi said: "We are different from the Luo family. ”

Eleven Niang was slightly stunned.

Does it mean that the Xu family is a hereditary family of ministers?

Xu Lingyi saw a trace of confusion flashing in Eleven Niang's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.

No matter how smart Eleven Niang is, after all, she has less knowledge.

"Since the imperial examination, the white family has not glorified the lintel with this. When entering Shiyu, there are fellow villagers, classmates, and fellow students who are sheltered. My minister's house is different. Entrusted to the emperor and loyal to the emperor. Glory and wealth are tied to the emperor alone. Xu Lingyi said euphemistically, "We can't win Longwangshu and lose the rules." ”

Eleven Niang chewed Xu Lingyi's words for a moment before she understood.

For a family like the Luo family, only through the imperial examination can make a family prosperous, so they must learn the Bagu article well. And people like the Xu family only need to serve the monarch well. You must know that after ten years of hard work, you will be taken care of by seniors who have the same experience as you after you come out, and if you donate officials through the imperial examination, you will not get the recognition of these people who have entered the official examination through the imperial examination, and secondly, you will not have such a network of fellow villagers, classmates, and departments in your career. If you want to do it and do it well, the only one you can rely on is the emperor.

Therefore, if the people of the Luo family want to go to the land, they have to rely on the imperial examination; If the people of the Xu family want to get ahead, they have to rely on the emperor's appreciation. Because there is no way out, there are different things to learn.

This is another balancing act of the emperor for his majesty!

She was speechless.
