Chapter 656: Winter Worm (II)
Eleven Niang and Xu Sijie came out of the banquet room with a smile and didn't see Brother Jin. Knowing that Xu Lingyi took it to the xiao study in the outer courtyard, Xu Sijie pulled the sleeve of Eleven Niang a little shyly: "Mother......"
Participating in the imperial examination is not only related to Xu Sijie's future, but also a major event for the Xu family. It is impossible not to consult Xu Lingyi. Although he was full of confidence in front of Eleven Niang, in the face of Xu Lingyi, Xu Sijie was still a little unsure.
Eleven Niang smiled: "I'll accompany you to tell your father." ”
There are some things, Xu Sijie has to slowly learn to face them alone.
He took a deep breath and gave himself a long time in his heart, and then nodded to Eleven Niang, and his face was resolute.
Eleven Niang looked at it in her eyes, secretly approved, and went to the xiao study in the outer courtyard with him.
Xu Lingyi was lying on the drunkard's chair obliquely, and the yù pendant on her waist fell in mid-air, swinging back and forth like a pendulum as the drunkard's chair swayed.
"Wuchang", "Jingzhou", "Xiangyang......" he casually read the name of the place, lying on his stomach on the Kyushu map, and he looked for it with his buttocks.
"What are you doing here?" Eleven Niang was taken aback.
Mother! Brother Jin jumped up, "My dad and I are playing and looking for a place!" He pulled Eleven Niang in front of Yutu, "Look, this is Yutu, Da Zhou's Yutu!" Then he tilted his head and asked Eleven Niang, "Mother, do you know what it is?" He explained in detail, "It is to draw the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty on this painting according to the 1:100,000 Daxiao." And he said, "Do you know what a 1:100,000 is?" As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger, "Look, my finger is only so long, but the drawing is so long, there are 100,000 of my fingers to ......,...."
"Alright, alright!" I don't know when, Xu Lingyi walked over. He mothed his brother's head, "You don't show off in front of your mother." Your mother not only knows what a map is, but she also has a copy of "The Nine Domains of the Great Zhou".
Where is Wuchang? How far is it from Yanjing? What are the rivers nearby? Which counties are under its jurisdiction? It's all written clearly. ”
Brother Jin looked at Eleven Niang with wide eyes, and there was a bit of awe in his eyes.
Eleven Niang glanced at Xu Lingyi, and said softly to her son: "Mother has such a book. But having such a book is not the same thing as being able to memorize the contents of the book......"
Brother Jin said "oh", 1ù out of the god sè who suddenly realized.
"I know, I know." He shouted, "My mother is the same as I read "Kindergarten", some words can be recognized", some words are not literate, some places know, and some places do not know. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard what he said funny.
"Am I not right?" Brother Jin muttered, a little unhappy.
"You're right." Xu Lingyi looked at her son, and there was a bit of pride in her eyes that Eleven Niang didn't understand, "So you have to remember all the place names." That way, if someone talks about something, you won't answer the wrong question. ”
Brother Jin nodded very seriously.
Eleven Niang glanced at Xu Siyi, signaling that Xu Lingyi was in a good mood at the moment, and it was best to talk to Xu Lingyi at this time.
Although Xu Sijie understood, but the first time he asked in front of Xu Lingyi, he still felt a little nervous, adjusted his mood before whispering: "Father, I" I have something I want to discuss with you! His voice trembled slightly.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Lingyi's eyes. Well, when Eleven Niang accompanied Xu Sijie, he was upright and listened carefully. The habit of flowing between the eyebrows was a little awe-inspiring, which made Xu Sijie suddenly become a little flustered.
This guy, don't you know how serious his expression is when he is sè?
Eleven Niang couldn't help but slander in her heart, and smiled an encouraging smile towards Xu Sijie1.
Xu Sijie watched, "The heart gradually calmed down." Although his speech was very slow and a little timid, he still clearly expressed his intention to participate in the imperial examination.
Xu Lingyi looked up at Eleven Niang, unable to hide her stunnedness.
"Brother Jie'er told me", Eleven Niang said calmly, "I am in favor of deleting him, since he has such a determination, it is better to try." Who knows what the outcome will be? Isn't there a saying that "Su Laoquan, twenty-seven, Shi Fen?" We're only 12 this year! As he spoke, he smiled at Xu Sijie again.
Xu Si was a little more bold when he admonished his heart.
"Father, just let me try!" His tone was very sincere, "I will work hard......" Even if he failed the exam, he at least thought of relying on himself to find a future. It's better than not learning and only knowing how to eat, drink and have fun all day long......
"Okay!" Xu Lingyi immediately made a decision, "What do you want, tell Manager Bai directly." Thinking of him, he said, "Or tell your mother the same!" ”
"Thank you, Father! Thank you, Father! Xu Sijie was ecstatic—it wasn't just a matter of reading, but his father's affirmation of his decision, "I will definitely study hard......" he said a little bit.
Xu Lingyi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
When I first brought him back, I just planned to raise him with food and clothing, and then find a way to find an errand for him, and then start a family, which can be regarded as giving Xu Lingkuan a jiao. I didn't expect this kid to be silent, but suddenly he had such ambition.
He couldn't help but say: "You have grown up" and act like an adult. Since such a decision has been made, you can't give up halfway. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must persevere. We, as parents, will definitely support you, and the rest will be your own creation......"
Xu Sijie listened respectfully, nodded again and again, and assured Xu Lingyi: "Father, don't worry, I will study hard like the second brother." Then I was going to Shuangfu Courtyard to find Mr. Zhao: "I want to tell Mr. about me...... I can't wait to see Mr. Zhao's appearance.
Mr. Zhao is a mentor and friend to him!
Xu Lingyi smiled: "You go!" Xu Sijie jumped and went to Shuangfu Courtyard.
Brother Jin pulled Xu Lingyi's sleeve: "Daddy, the fifth brother wants to be admitted to the Jinshi like the second brother, is he going to study in Le'an?" Then when I grow up, do I want to go to Le'an to study? I was worried.
Xu Lingyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What? You don't want to go to Le'an to study? ”
"Then, can I bring Changshun, Suifeng, Huang Xiaomao, and Liu Erwu to Le'an together?" and one, one, two, two, and them...... I want to take it with me! ”
Xu Lingyi laughed, but her eyes fell on Eleven Niang's body: "I want Zhenxing to help me find a knowledgeable person to ask for Xixi for Brother Jie." What do you think? ”
Since Xu Si said that he wanted to participate in the imperial examination, Eleven Niang has considered this matter.
Mr. Zhao's character and knowledge are naturally good, but he is better at teaching poetry and songs, strategies, eight strands, etc., I am afraid it is better to find another Master. She had also considered sending Xu Sijie to Anle. First, Le'an is far away, and she is a little reluctant to admonish Xu Sijie; Second, the situation of Xu Siyu and Xu Siyu is different, Xu Lingyi sent Xu Siyu to Le'an, the main purpose was to let Xu Siyu and Jiang Song set the names of teachers and students, and close the relationship between Xu Siyu and Xu Siyu. Otherwise, if the big Yanjing "can't find a gentleman who can guide Xu Siyu to do business?"
Let Luo Zhenxing, who used to be a Jishi, make a special trip to invite Xu Sijie to invite a west seat, it couldn't be better!
"Okay!" Eleven Niang smiled, "Then I'll go to Gongxian Hutong tomorrow!" Settle this matter as soon as possible, and tell my brother to study with peace of mind as soon as possible! ”
The husband and wife discussed, and the next day, one went to see Mr. Zhao, and the other took Brother Jin to the bowstring alley.
Luo Zhenxing saw Brother Jin'er, not to mention how happy he was. After playing with Brother Jin for a while, I talked to Eleven Niang about business.
I heard that it was for Xu Si to warn Mr., Luo Zhenxing was a little surprised, although he agreed, he also warned Eleven Niang: "This business, three points depend on Mr. Seven points rely on himself." Otherwise, how could so many Luodi Xiucai teach Huiyuanlai, and raise people to teach Jinshi! You still have to keep an eye on his hard work! ”
"I know that too." Eleven Niang also went all the way to get a full scholarship to go abroad, "It's just that Mr.'s learning is better, and the students can be more relaxed."
The two talked about Yu Hang's homely cooking again, "Eleven Niang had lunch, and then went back to the bowstring alley with Brother Jin."
Xu Lingyi had just returned from lunch with Mr. Zhao in the outer courtyard.
"Mr. Zhao also thinks it's good to invite another West Seat for Brother Jie'er!" He drank xiao, his mood was a little high, he hugged Brother Jin and kissed him a few times, and Brother Jin was so screaming by him. In this way, he concentrated on teaching Brother Jin in the morning and Brother Zhen in the afternoon. Brother Jin'er's progress can also be faster! Eleven Niang twisted the handkerchief to wipe Xu Lingyi's face, and Brother Jin took the opportunity to run away.
"How much did you drink? Look at the kids scared! ”
"I'm glad in my heart!" , Xu Lingyi smiled, and when he handed the handkerchief to Shi Niang, he pulled it, and Shi Niang fell into his arms, "Our family is a good brother, I can read the map!" As he spoke, he kissed Eleven Niang's face fiercely.
The house looked at it obediently, and one by one lowered their eyebrows and retreated.
"Drunk!" Eleven Niang struggled to stand up, took the decanting soup on the side and handed it to him, "Wake up!" ”
Xu Lingyi didn't answer, and looked at her with burning eyes.
Eleven Niang is funny.
Sit down on the kang and feed him.
Xu Lingyi took Eleven Niang's hand: "Mo Yan, let Brother Jin go to my academy to paint red in the future!" ”
"Children should develop good habits when they are xiao." Eleven Niang said euphemistically, "Look at me, it's a big deal, and I will first urge Brother Jin to do his homework." Master Hou has a lot of things, how can he have that time! ”
"What do I have to do" is nothing more than a blind job. Xu Lingyi stared at Eleven Niang, her expression looked very serious, "Brother Jin came to my house to paint red, just to accompany me." Eleven Niang listened with a sour heart.
Xu Lingyi is only thirty-six this year.
In her current generation, it was a man in his prime......
"Then let's talk about it!" Her voice softened unconsciously, "You can't fish for three days and dry nets for two days......"
