Chapter 11: Nature Exposed

After testing Si Yan and Yi Chen's knowledge, he asked about the girls' homework. Yin Siyan kept interjecting on the side, and Liu didn't ask about the homework of several girls, but only symbolically told a few words, "Mr. is insightful, don't let you down" and so on. Then I watched a few young people laugh and joke, and the afternoon was quickly consumed.

It was rare for Pang Zi to be so happy, and when the sun was setting, his face was already covered with tiredness, but he still did not leave.

Ling thought that her husband would come over for dinner tonight, so she happily took her two daughters and retired first. Liu wanted to keep them down for dinner, but after asking the reason, he didn't force it anymore. Pang Zi was also about to leave, and Liu Shi wondered: "Why don't the three brothers and sisters stay and have fun together, Taoyuan is too deserted." ”

Pang shook his head and declined, "I have always been used to being quiet, and today I am also blessed by my sister-in-law to be so happy." Besides, there are guests in the garden, how can I bother again. No matter how much Liu persuaded her, she insisted on leaving.

Liu had no choice but to agree, "Chenlang and Yan Niang are not guests, they are just nephews." Since you insist, I won't be reluctant, but it's time for Erlang to come back, no matter how you say it's his mother, how can there be a reason not to serve his mother. Hearing this, Pang Zi's eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't speak, just nodded reservedly goodbye.

Counting up, the Xuyuan Garden and the Xi Garden are not far apart, and they are close together compared to the Tao Garden, which is also separated by Biwuxuan. Therefore, when Pang Zi came out of Xuyuan, the Ling mother and daughter, who had left one step earlier, were already sitting firmly in their hall.

Along the way, Wanhua told Ling's everything that happened in class, and naturally Jinhua was taught by Mama Rong.

Shaohua didn't dare to interject, and quietly listened to Wanhua finish speaking, thinking that he would be scolded.

Unexpectedly, Ling only sighed deeply. "I knew that your grandfather hurt you in the palm of his hand, and everything was up to you, so I didn't take the words of the Ling family seriously. But I didn't expect the Ling family to allow you to be so lazy, but fortunately, they brought you back in time and met such a knowledgeable female gentleman again. ”

Seeing Shaohua's innocent appearance, Ling was helpless: "Well, since Mr. has said so, you will study hard in the future, and don't fall behind others." The "others" that Ling said refers to Yan Sui and also refers to Jinhua.

His eyes lit up, Shaohua suddenly became overjoyed, he didn't expect it to be so easy to get past today, and hurriedly agreed: "My daughter will never let A-Niang down!" ”

Wanhua was dissatisfied with her sister's joy and anger, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk too much, you just looked at the female red of the Liu family's lady, and the needlework is about to catch up with the embroidery of the Red Sleeve Workshop." Although Qi Niang is young, she is also a good girl. You are a sister and a concubine, you must not send her, tomorrow, I will personally urge you to work hard. ”

The Red Sleeve Workshop is a well-known embroidery village in Beijing, specializing in taking over the official business. Because the embroidery is outstanding, delicate and gorgeous, there are various variations, even if it is more expensive, the dignitaries are also vying to buy first. If there is any lady whose embroidery can be sold to the red sleeve workshop, it is a very glorious thing, but it is a pity that the red sleeve workshop receives very few goods, and the requirements are extremely strict.

When Shaohua heard this, he immediately collapsed his little face, it seems that needlework can't escape. Thinking of the braised duck he had embroidered, Shaohua drooped his head and looked down at his little hands. I was annoyed in my heart, since I had this body, why didn't I get the original owner's ability together, if this white and tender finger was poked by a needle, how painful it would be.

In the eyes of Wanhua, Shaohua's fugue is a profound reflection of a child's studiousness. Compared with Jinhua's disobedience to her, Shaohua undoubtedly gave her a sense of accomplishment as an eldest sister. As soon as his heart was comfortable, he didn't reprimand Shaohua again.

Sanniang is right, but the lady who came out is not only a female celebrity, but more importantly, she is a person. In the future, no matter who you are, whether you marry into the Liu family, or which Langjun you are married to, you are a serious wife. From the elders of the clan to the servants and husbands, as well as the future husband's world friends, you all have to be sorted out. It was the first time for the Ling family to tell his daughter the way of being a family so seriously, "The old man values you ladies very much, otherwise, he wouldn't have sent someone to invite this female gentleman." It is said that all the ladies she taught were all graceful and graceful, and two of them entered the palace as mothers. And you must not fail the teachings of your husband and the expectations of your grandfather. ”

The two sisters glanced at each other, and they were busy answering.

After Ling had enough of the addiction of a good wife and mother, he saw Shaohua's sullen face, so he asked, "What's wrong?" I was scared. For Wanhua, she was tired of hearing these words, but perhaps no one had ever mentioned them to Shaohua, and it was understandable that she was difficult to accept for a while.

Shaohua shook her head, it wasn't enough to scare her. It's just that after being trained repeatedly, my heart was a little blocked, and I couldn't help asking: "Auntie, is it between me and my sister that someone must marry the brother of the Liu family?" ”

Ling and Wanhua were stunned for a moment at the same time, and Shaohua decided to let it go out and vomit as soon as possible, "A-Niang, I heard Cui's mother talk about the marriage of the Liu and Li families. Cui's mother also said that this Liu Jialangjun is the in-law of this generation, but is there such a thing? ”

Ling nodded, "Liu Li's marriage is a matter of several generations, and each generation chooses the most suitable person in the clan. Although the Liu family didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that Yichen could live in the Li family like this, which was obviously the first month near the water.

Shaohua's mind turned quickly, and he immediately answered, "But our Li family didn't promise to marry any lady." Shao Huaquan's silence when the Ling clan was acquiescing, if it was an internal decision, the Ling clan should also be clear, "In this case, we might as well not know what to do." My grandfather had very high requirements for his children and grandchildren, even us ladies required us to read and write, and we must not want us to marry into a mountain village. Although Liu Jialangjun is a student, I don't necessarily look much better than the fourth brother in terms of knowledge. If he can go to high school one day, it will be excellent, if not, and another wishful man comes to the door......"

Shaohua deliberately paused for a moment to give the Ling family a space to imagine, and then sighed, "Mother Cui said that A-Niang felt sorry for the third sister, and she had already looked for the Ruyi Langjun for the third sister. Presumably, it was either me or Qi Niang who married into the Liu family...... But Qi Niang is a concubine in the end, if the elder brother of the Liu family can't go to high school in the future, then I ......"

Shaohua's voice gradually lowered, as if he was choked, and Ling felt sad when he heard it.

"Silly girl, what kind of stupid thing to say, you and Sanniang are both A-Niang's daughters, and the two of you are distressed." When Ling said this, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.

For the eldest daughter, she does have a favorite candidate, but it is not absolute.

And the marriage of the Liu family, the Ling family is completely the idea that the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and naturally does not want this good thing to let a concubine go up. But hearing Shaohua say this, Ling also felt a little difficult in his heart. is also her own daughter, because Wanhua is by her side, so she has more thoughts for the sake of her life's events. And Shaohua is two years younger than Wanhua, but he has to worry about marriage.

Wanhua and Ling's thoughts are similar, but she doesn't have as much burden as Ling's. She thought that Shaohua was just worried about Yichen's future career, so she said with a straight face: "Wu Niang, this is your mistake." If you marry into the Liu family, there will be no shortage of your glory and wealth, what is the career of Liu Jialang, there will be uncles and big brothers to support them in the future, will it be a loss to you. ”

Shaohua secretly rolled her eyes angrily, and slandered in her heart: If there is such a good thing, why don't she rush to go.

"The third sister also has some objections to Liu Jialangjun." Shaohua was referring to Fang Cai Yichen's behavior, and Wanhua was speechless.

But Shaohua's purpose is to impress the Ling family, not to be entangled with Wanhua about this small problem, "A-Niang, with the identity of grandfather, uncle, and father, why don't we sisters worry about not being able to find Ruyi Langjun, even if there are people who are ten times and a hundred times better than the elder brother of the Liu family." Besides, it's not a sure thing now, even if we don't get married, the Li family is not without suitable candidates. Instead of guarding one empty and failing in the end, A-Niang should look at Lang Jun more. Maybe there is a suitable candidate, and we don't have to be the Liu family. ”

Hearing this, Ling was relieved. Because of the arrival of the Yichen brothers and sisters, the Ling family was more or less limited.

But when Shaohua said this, it is logical. After all, according to Liu's words, Yichen entered Beijing for the sake of Qiuqiu, and did not mention anything about his in-laws. It's just because the time and place are right that people have to lean in that direction.

Since the clan has not yet made a decision, why should she give up the graceful young man in the capital because of the grass of Yichen.

Thinking about it like this, Ling suddenly had the urge to take his daughter to the door again.

Wanhua blushed beside him, twisted Shaohua's arm, and scolded: "You girl, who taught you this muddy mind, I can't see that you are young, how can you remember this." Also, let A-Niang look at each other, you are really, really...... Not shy. When he said this, the flush on Wanhua's face had already reached his ears.

Shaohua spread her hands, it was completely inappropriate, if it weren't for the emperor's order, she would have married someone she liked in her last life.

Marriage, if you don't fight for it, who else will fight for you to get the wishful husband in your heart back. "I'm telling the truth, why aren't you shy, doesn't the third sister want to marry someone she likes?" Shaohua's words made Wanhua even more embarrassed, and she only stomped her feet with a red face and asked her mother for help.

"Wu Niang, who taught you this?" Although Ling believed that his daughter was naturally intelligent, he always felt that the thirteen-year-old girl was thinking so far-reaching and a little unreliable.

"Grandfather! The old man told me that if I don't fight for it, I will never get what I want. Shaohua silently confessed to the old man of the Ling family in his heart, and once again impersonated.

Judging by the tone of others, it can be seen that the old man of the Ling family is extremely fond of this granddaughter who was raised by his own hands, so it is not too much to tolerate and pamper her.

Especially knowing that the Ling family rarely sets foot in the capital, even if they let their eldest grandson come during the New Year's holidays, they never leave Pu'an. Although no one knew the reason, because of this, Shaohua dared to put everything on the old man of the Ling family, and they would not run to testify.

Thinking of his confused family affairs back then, Ling suddenly understood what his father said to Shaohua, and couldn't help but sigh, "Everything must be fought for." ”

In fact, when the Li family proposed marriage for Erlang Li Xunzhuo, if the Ling family himself was unwilling, Old Man Ling would not be reluctant. But although she had a grudge in her heart, she still didn't say anything, listened to her mother's persuasion, closed her eyes and got married.

It wasn't until he passed the Ling clan that he knew that Li Xunzhuo had someone in his heart. On the night of the cave room, she heard her husband shouting other women's names, and she was angry and kicked him out of the room. When she relieved herself, her husband had been in the maid's room, if it weren't for the identity of her aunt, I am afraid that Li Xunzhuo would not have taken the initiative to bow to the Ling family.

And when she turned around, she wanted to show friendship with her husband, but she repeatedly broke up unhappily because of the discord between the two of them.

"A-Niang, what's wrong with you?" Ling's silence made Shaohua a little uneasy, worried that his true nature would be exposed too much, which made Ling suspicious.

Ling Shi looked at Shaohua's caution, and suddenly smiled, "Your grandfather wants to give you to Yanlang, A-Niang understands, I will consider it." ”

"No, no, Ah Niang......" Shaohua was immediately dumbfounded, what kind of wolf is this Yanlang, and he has something to do with her.

Without waiting for Shaohua to finish speaking, the little guy Qian Chuan'er next to Li Xunzhuo came in to ask for peace, Ling's expression froze, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, Qian Chuan'er Fushen said: "Madam, the master said that he won't come to dinner tonight, so you don't have to wait for him." ”

When Wanhua heard this, her little face was bulging with anger, and she saw that Ling's face was calm, and complained: "Auntie, Daddy must have been hooked by that fox spirit again, no, someone has to bring him back." ”

"Come back." Ling Shi called out to Wanhua, thought for a while, and said, "Go and see if Hachiro has finished his homework and is ready to eat." ”

Wanhua complained about her mother's inaction, and left in a huff, and after Shaohua confessed to Ling, he hurriedly caught up with Wanhua's footsteps.
