Chapter 599: Pampering (Part II)
Eleven Niang was shocked when she heard this: "What happened?" Among the children who came to visit, the eldest was fourteen years old, and the youngest was only ten years old, all of whom were born in famous families" are the descendants carefully cultivated by the family, not only received a good education, but also lived in Yanjing with the parents of the scholars, and they were more knowledgeable than ordinary children. If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. This is also one of the reasons why Shi Niang encouraged Xu Sizhen to interact with them more, hoping that Xu Sizhen could learn the advantages of being a person and doing things from them. With their cultivation, when they come to the house as guests, even if there is any unhappiness, it stands to reason that they will not make a fuss. What's more, Xu Sichen has always defended Xu Sizhen, if something really happens, Xu Sizhen can't sit idly by!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"At first" was fine. Zhu Xiang said, "Everyone is talking and laughing." Zhuo Gongzi also borrowed the fourth young master's piano to play a song. When the fifth young master listened, he took out the flute and played the second half of the song with that Zhuo Gongzi......"
Without waiting for her to speak, Eleven Niang's face was slightly gloomy, and she said, "Was it the ensemble of the Fifth Young Master invited by Young Master Zhuo, or was it played by the Fifth Young Master himself and Gongzi Zhuo?" β
"It was the fifth master who took the flute and came out to play with Zhuo Gongzi." , Zhu Xiang said, her face changed slightly. Then he said thoughtfully: "But later, Young Master Wang improvised a painting. When Dou Gongzi saw it, he said that there were paintings but no poems, and if there was good tea and no spring water, it would be regrettable, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to make poems. Who knew that when he put away the pen, he dripped a little ink on the rice paper. β
The god of Eleven Niang gradually became solemn.
Dou Gongzi exclaimed, and his face was full of shame and clenched his fists to make amends. Although several sons felt regretful, they also laughed and joked that Dou Gongzi was careless in Jingzhou. Zhuo Gongzi even came up with an idea, saying that the drop of ink fell under the lotus leaf, it was better to draw two goldfish, but it could play the role of painting the finishing touch. Wang Gongzi stepped forward to take a look after hearing this, but Dou Gongzi said that since he was the one who caused the disaster, he would naturally clean up the mess. Then he took a famous post and asked the fifth young master to help send someone to send it to Duobao Pavilion, and asked the master of Duobao Pavilion to frame it immediately. Young Master Wang was a little embarrassed when he heard this. said that he painted a picture, how to work the master of Duobao Pavilion to help frame it. Dou Gongzi said, why do you have to give me a chance to atone for my sins. When the fourth young master saw it, he laughed and called Wang Shu and asked Wang Shu to take it. Dou Gongzi listened to the face 1ΓΉ difficult sΓ¨, and asked Wang Shu how to go to Duobao Pavilion? The fifth young master took the initiative to take the painting and said: It's better to run by yourself. lest the king tree delay time. β
"So, everyone is going to send the paintings to the Fifth Young Master?" Eleven Niang groaned.
"The fourth young master wants to stop it" The fifth young master said that he was idle anyway. Duobao Pavilion has always boasted of being noble, and it is indeed a little inappropriate to let Wang Shu go. It's better for him to send a steward to take it. Zhu Xiang said, "No matter what the fourth young master says, the fifth young master turns around and leaves." gave the painting to Mr. Bai, but did not return to the weeping water pavilion, but returned to the courtyard alone. I asked Xi'er, and Xi'er said that the fifth young master closed the door when he returned to the house, "saying that the weather is hot, a little tired, and I want to rest." If someone comes, stop it. He also instructed that when the painting was framed, tell him immediately, and he would send it to the Chuilun Water Pavilion in time. If it's late, "let others misunderstand that the people of the Xu family can't do things, it's not good!" β
Eleven Niang listened for a while before saying: "Don't shout about this matter, let's take a look." β
Zhu Xiang congratulated her after dinner: "The painting is back." The fifth young master immediately sent it to the Chuilun Water Pavilion. Young Master Dou thanked the Fifth Young Master, and said, I didn't expect the Fifth Young Master to do things so properly, and if there are such trivial matters in the future, I have to ask the Fifth Young Master more, and I hope that the Fifth Young Master will not refuse. β
Eleven Niang frowned: "What did the fifth young master say?" β
"The fifth young master just laughed." Zhu Xiang looked at the god and gloomy slightly, "Help pass the dinner, pass the tea, and send the guests ......"
was saying, "There is a little maid coming:", the fourth young master and the fifth young master are here! β
Eleven Niang glanced at Zhu Xiang and motioned her to stop saying, "Get up and go and take your shoes."
Xu Lingyi hugged Brother Jin and sat on the big kang near the window in the west room and told Brother Jin to draw chickens, and when he saw Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie coming in, Brother Jin jumped up from Xu Lingyi's arms with a pen, shouting "Fourth Brother" and "Fifth Brother", looking like he was going to get off the kang. Xu Lingyi pressed Brother Jin'er's shoulder, "Finish this stroke", and then looked up and looked at the two sons standing in front of him with their hands down: "The guests are gone?" β
Brother Jin sat back in Xu Lingyi's arms aggrievedly, lowered his head and continued the outline just now.
Xu Si hurriedly said: "It's all gone." Dou Jing also invited us to his house in a few days. β
Xu Lingyimu said "um" approvingly, and said, "The weather is hot, and I can't calm down when I read." Take advantage of this opportunity to move around with your friends......"
"Daddy, I'm done!" , Before he finished his words, Brother Jin stood up again. His movements were agile and fast, Xu Lingyi didn't pay attention, if it weren't for Xu Lingyi's quick reaction, he immediately raised his chin, and Brother Jin'er's head was on Xu Lingyi's chin.
He smiled and patted his son's ass and looked towards the kang table.
Originally, he was supposed to draw the chicken's feet in three long strokes, but Brother Jin was lazy and pressed an ink lump on it with a pen.
Xu Lingyi couldn't help laughing: "Is this the chicken's foot?" β
"yes!" Brother Jin looked at him seriously, and pointed at the lump of ink with a fat finger, "The chick stepped into the mud pond, that's what it looks like." If Daddy doesn't believe it, you can ask Xiaomao. Our family's UA brocade stepped into the mud pond, and it was like this! β
UA brocade is a brocade pot raised by Brother Jin" Looking at his son's serious and innocent expression, Xu Lingxiao couldn't help laughing.
The voice is full of joy that cannot be misunderstood.
Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie couldn't help but look at Xu Lingyi with wide eyes.
Xu Lingyi was shocked to realize that he had lost his temper.
He smiled slowly.
Brother Jin has already pulled his sleeve: "Daddy, Daddy, I'm done painting, can I get off the kang?" He twisted his little body and looked at him expectantly.
Xu Lingyi's heart softened, and he shook his head: "What are you going to do?" β
"I'm going to see my bugs, do they grow?" , Xu Lingyi smiled and hugged him to the ground: "Let Ah Jin take you." It's dark, don't run around alone, knocking your knees like you did last time. β
Brother Jin gave a perfunctory "um", and immediately ran away.
Xu Sichen couldn't help but look up at the window.
The sky was full of colorful clouds, like a shawl spread in the sky, reflecting the house red.
Is this late?
The thought flashed, and he saw Eleven Niang walking out of the inner room with a smile.
"Where did Brother Jin go again?" The tone was a little doting.
"Go see the bugs he raised!" , Xu Lingyi smiled.
"Master Hou is really." Eleven Niang frowned slightly, and her tone of voice had a bit of disgust, "I'm going to say hello to Mrs. Tai soon, I'm playing all over the mud and dirt, and I'm going to clean it for a long time, it's too late." β
Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound, which can be regarded as acquiescing to Eleven Niang's blame.
In front of the children, Eleven Niang naturally couldn't say more. She instructed Zhu Xiang to find Brother Jin'er, and then asked Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie with a smile: "What's the matter?" Today's banquet is still lively, right? β
"tΗng lively!" Xu Sichen, who usually likes to chat with her the most, is concise at this time, and he seems a little interested, "Everyone is happy to have fun." β
Eleven Niang looked at Xu Sijie.
Xu Sijie hurriedly said: "Dou Gongzi's knowledge is very good, and he treats people very kindly...... his voice was slightly higher than usual, as if he was hiding something.
Eleven Niang was like a mirror in her heart, thinking that Xu Lingyi was still sitting aside, she didn't ask again, and ordered the two of them with a smile: "When Brother Jin washes his hands, we will go to greet Mrs. Tai." Then he turned around and went out, personally pulled Brother Jin back, cleaned up, and went to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai was also very concerned about this banquet, and pulled Xu Si with a smile to ask.
Xu Sijie spoke carefully to Mrs. Tai, and Xu Sijie sat silently on the side.
The next morning, Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie went to greet Eleven Niang, and Eleven Niang left Xu Sijie to speak: ", why did you suddenly go back to your yard yesterday?" β
Her straightforwardness made Xu Sijie's face flushed, and he always answered Shi Niang's questions and made him hang his head: "Dou Gongzi, they are all very smart...... It's also amazing...... I've never heard anything I've ever heard of. I don't know the people I said...... Something went wrong, took the name card to Duobao Pavilion, and the people immediately sent the most skilled master to help pick up the omissions and make up the notes, and the repair was not visible at all......", "The more you talk, the quieter the voice" The tone was a little unnatural.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh.
She knew that there was a difference between her concubines and concubines, but she didn't expect that in the world of children, it was also so distinct.
The reality is brutal. There are some things that she thinks too simply.
Eleven Niang fell into deep thought.
Xu Sijie was a little sad.
The fourth brother said that his friends were very easy to get along with, but in his opinion, it was not.
When everyone saw him, they nodded politely, unlike the fourth brother, they met and slapped on the shoulder" teasing the fourth brother in slang, which seemed rude, but there was a bit of intimacy everywhere. He was very envious and wanted to be as close to them as the fourth brother. When they spoke, "he tried his best to respond, and when he saw Zhuo Gong playing the piano, he thought that everyone praised him for playing the flute well, and he took out the flute and played it with Zhuo Gongzi...... But the more he flattered them, the more indifferent they looked at him, the more he wanted to show his strengths, the more they treated him coldly, and even as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, they all stopped, watching him speak alone, and his voice seemed so abrupt in the quiet water pavilion that he felt very embarrassed...... Later, Dou Gongzi even treated him as a small servant and drank around......
He had done his best to pamper them, so why didn't they like him?
Seeing his mother sitting there without saying a word, Xu Sijie immediately suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.
"Mother." He stepped forward lightly, "I'll work hard."
Follow Mr. Zhao to learn to draw and make poetry, and if I go out with the fourth brother in the future, others won't laugh at me! β
Eleven Niang looked at his solemn god, and her heart was sour.
There are some things that cannot be solved by learning to draw or make poetry.
Respect and acceptance of others cannot be achieved by currying favor and attaching oneself.
However, if he can rely on his own character and ability to fight for a place for himself like Xu Siyu, it is not a bad thing!
She smiled and stretched out her hand: "This is what we told my brother, and we swear by high-fives." β
Xu Sijie laughed and high-fived Eleven Niangsan: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely work hard in the future." β
