The makeup is neat, the mother and daughter do not apply powder on their faces, and Xiao Le's face is slightly pale; After a month's journey from Xianyun County to Beijing, her body couldn't stand it, and her face was revealed.

Ming's wife is in good health, there are no symptoms of motion sickness, and she is like touring the mountains and rivers all the way; Except for being stuffy in the carriage, there was no other discomfort.

Under the guidance of the maid, I arrived at the courtyard of the old man's study, and when I walked in, I found that there were many people in the house; Men and women, old and young, the old man sits on the top and drinks tea, the left hand is Dean Fan Wei'an, once it is a man and a woman, and on the right hand is also a man and a woman Two couples, and down is a young man and a male baby.

"Old man, Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao has arrived."

The maid is blessed.

"Ming's wife is here." Fan Wei'an spoke.

The old man glanced at him, and a smile appeared in his eyes, but he didn't expect that a little girl would be protected by the second apprentice; The words are all about protecting the short, and it's a pity not to be a master and apprentice.

"Old man, Dean Fan is good." Ming's wife.

The two grandfathers and second ladies on the left and right frowned, and the adult teenagers looked at them with interest.

"No need to be polite." The old man introduced them, "These two are Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Ming's wife, and Ming's wife came to Beijing to apprentice. ”

"Mrs. Shaw." The woman beside the grandfather smiled and spoke.

The second lady is not to be left behind, "Mrs. Xiao has worked hard all the way. ”

"They are the sons-in-law of my two sons, and they don't go out of the mansion every day, but mostly stay in the mansion."

"Hello two ladies." Ming's wife and her mother greeted each other, one blessing and one blessing.

The grandfather and wife only faintly withdrew their gaze, and the second lady covered her mouth and smiled, and it was difficult to hide her disdain in her eyes.

This attitude, Ming Wu doesn't feel anything, but this attitude is right for her mother; It's inevitable to be dissatisfied.

The second lady jokingly asked, "Where is Miss Xiao's house?" ”

"My home is in Xiaojia Village, Xianyun Town, Shuzhou."

"What kind of place is that, we haven't been to; If you have a chance, you would like to see it, is that place fun? What's interesting? You don't come to Kyoto with you to bring something interesting to play with us. "Inadvertently, this is a little village girl who has no confidence.

As soon as Ming Wu wanted to speak, the old man said: "It's not easy to go to Xianyun Town to see, when you go back to Chongcheng, take your family with you; It just so happened that Xianyun County was sending a county order, and the second child went to go for a trip to get through the qualifications. When I arrived at the place, the second family wanted to play how they wanted, and what they wanted; Stretching out his hand to the first-time guest, he didn't want to be cheeky. ”

The second lady never expected the old man to speak so ruthlessly, and the second master of the public mansion hurriedly got up and made a move.

"Father, don't listen to a woman's words, your son is staying well in Beijing, and he has to be filial to you in the house." The second master secretly glared at his wife, he really couldn't recognize any of them? Embarrassing people in front of their fathers.

No matter what the mother and daughter are here for, whether it is playing the autumn breeze or being a serious apprentice; What does it have to do with them, it's just that the son in the family is not qualified, and he can't get into the eyes of the old man. Why bother? If you want to blame her, you have to blame her for giving birth to her son bluntly.

"There's your big brother here." The old man said again: "You have been in Beijing for decades, and you have not achieved much; It's time to go out and practice, Xianyun County is a good place, Ming's wife is smart and self-controlled, and she acts well, which can be seen as a place that can breed good seedlings. When you go to Xianyun County, you should find more talents for the imperial court, I will tell your fourth senior brother, you can set off after the apprenticeship. ”

Line 4 is Xu Shoufu.

Knowing that the decision made by the old man could not be changed, the second master no longer said good things to beg for mercy, and sat in his place; His hands were hidden in his wide sleeves and clenched into fists, and his face remained silent.

Grandpa and Grandpa and Grandpa and Mrs. looked at each other and withdrew their gaze; After this incident, everyone here understands that don't provoke the mother and daughter of the Xiao family, otherwise the second master will be their fate. For the sake of Xiao Ming's wife, the old man can even send his own son, and their grandchildren and subordinates consciously order well.

"When the people are done, let's all take a seat." The old man got up and walked towards the table on the left, while the lady walked towards the table on the right.

Ming's wife followed her mother to the woman's place, but was stopped by Fan Wei'an, "Ming'an, come here." ”

"Dean Fan." glanced at Dean Fan opposite, and then looked at his mother, unable to let his mother deal with a group of women alone.

Xiao Leshi bowed slightly at her, "It's okay, my mother can handle it, let's go; Behave well, don't let Dean Fan lose face, this is also a reception banquet for you to gain a firm foothold. ”

"Then be careful." Ming Wu nodded and walked towards Dean Fan.

Dean Fan led her to the men's table and walked to the place; The old man asked Dean Fan to sit beside him, his son to sit on the other side, and then Ming's wife sat beside Dean Fan, followed by the grandchildren of the public mansion.

It can be seen that Dean Fan's status in the heart of the old man.

"When you get here, you live at home." The old man said a word to Ming before the meal.

Ming's nodding was unhurried.

The old man shouted to start the meal, and the food at the dinner table was silent, after dinner; Ming's wife accompanied her husband to talk to Dean Fan, her grandfather and the children and grandchildren of the mansion, while Xiao Le's was entangled by the female dependents, and she wanted to win her over.

I didn't win over and didn't think about offending.

Only the second lady's eyes were red, because she made her husband out of Beijing with one sentence; The mother's family knows that she can't count them all, even if her husband is there, her life is not easy. The sons are afraid that they have to complain about her too much talk, how did she know that a little girl who is a redneck can be so valued by her husband.

Moreover, for whom did she say these things? Not for the sake of the sons.

The second lady was full of apprehension and resentment, and was restless; Compared with the person who was talking to Xiao Leshi next to him, he had a low aura.

"Ming Wu has many deficiencies in poetry, and these days Chongcheng gives her guidance; As an official, not to mention proficient in poetry and songs, you must be able to dismantle the group, otherwise you will suffer a lot in the examination room. "Should I say that ginger is still old and spicy? The old man asked a few words and probed her depth.

Fan Wei'an got up and responded, "It just so happens that these few days are idle, and before the fourth junior brother came to claim the apprentice, I will teach for a few days." ”

"As it should be." The old man thinks more.

can't let the second disciple be desolate for the rest of his life, if Ming Wu is a kind person, she will definitely treat him well; There is no name of master and apprentice, but there is the best way to have a master and apprentice.

"Grandfather, can my grandson go? Ming's sister is a child at such a young age; The grandson is still studying Zhou Yi, and I don't know when it will end. The eldest male heir of the big house spoke.

The old man smiled, "You can go if you want, your second uncle's knowledge back then was first-class, and it was your honor to have his guidance; You too, go whatever you want. Heavy city! I'll hand over these grandchildren to you, and you can give as much guidance as you can, and if you can't be cultivated, you can directly call out for the teacher. ”
