Huai'an's mouth was open until his jaw was sore, and he held it with his hand and closed it manually. I really want to quote the classics to praise it, but there is no ink on my chest, and I may be flattened if I call it "lying in the groove".

was searching his intestines and scraping his belly, but he saw that Shen Yu had already raised his sword to close his momentum, and the blade of the sword was in the sheath, neat and clean.

Full of excitement, he could only turn into applause, and stepped forward with a small wooden sword: "Dad, does the eldest brother also practice swords?" ”

"Big brother is not willing to learn." Shen Yu said.

"Huai'an is willing to learn!" Shen Huaian was very excited.

When Shen Yu heard this, his eyebrows stretched, starting from the most basic sword grip and footwork, and taught him hand in hand.

After a while, a few rough mothers-in-law carried a spring stool, followed by a number of low-eyed maids, passing by lightly, there was a dying person lying on the spring stool, his clothes were disheveled, and his lower body was full of blood, presumably they took advantage of the dark rainy day to send Aunt Meng out.

Shen Huai'an was pondering the move, turned around, and was suddenly held in Shen Yu's arms. Shen Yu pretended to correct his posture and used his tall body to block his vision.

"Huai'an, look ahead." Shen Yu deliberately pointed in the other direction: "Practicing martial arts is the same as studying, it is necessary to work hard, you have to practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer......"

"Daddy." Huai'an interrupted.

"Huh?"

"It's good if you teach me some tricks to embroider your legs, it looks very powerful, and you don't need to work hard." Huai'an said very seriously.

He was genuinely seeking advice.

Shen Yu: "......"

He really wanted to beat people.

Half to teach swordsmanship, half to accompany his son to mess around, had a good time, and when they returned to the East Courtyard, their clothes were almost soaked.

Mai didn't block the wind, and it was still raining outside. Xu Tinglan wanted to scold, but when he saw that his son was on the rise, he couldn't bear to ruin his interest, so he simply left the two of them and went back to the room.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Shen Yuli helped his son change layers of clothes, and Huai'an also noticed the difference between his clothes and his father's at this time: the edges of his linen clothes were locked, and the sewing was neat, and it was called Qi Decay; And Daddy's linen is a thicker raw linen, with no sewing at the edges, with raw edges, called chopping, and it is the heaviest mourning dress among the five clothes. The father and eldest brother, as the eldest grandson of the sect, must decline for three years, while he and the other grandchildren in the family only need to decline for one year.

The complexity of the etiquette of the ancients and the strictness of the patriarchal law can be seen.

At the dinner table, Chen blamed his son for messing around with his grandson, who was just recovering from a serious illness, and how could he be better if he had a cold.

Shen Yu lowered his head and listened, Xu Tinglan couldn't help laughing on the side, there is an old saying like this? The brine points to the tofu, one thing drops one thing.

Huai'an has a very good appetite today, the table is still full of vegetarian food, but it is difficult to resist his appetite, the lotus root slices are chewed crisply, and the two little cousins see it in their eyes, and they all eat half a bowl of rice.

Shen Yu didn't dare to refute his mother, so he turned his head and bullied the two older children: "Look at how delicious the younger brothers and sisters eat." In the future, go to the yard every day to do activities, don't sit in the house all day long and read, turn around and burn your eyes, and you don't grow tall, you cry. ”

Huai Ming Huai Yuan Nuo said yes.

Shen Huai'an's small mouth trying to show off his rice stopped, good guy, it turns out that Xueba will be scolded at home, the reason is that he works too hard.

The lotus root in the mouth suddenly stopped smelling.

Just when Huai'an lamented that fate made people, another big drama was released.

Li Huan's daughter-in-law came in to do something, and caught a pair of thieves stealing things in the side yard, for fear of alarming the female dependents, she was ordered by Li Huan to be tied up in the front yard.

Everyone present was surprised and sighed, and Chen raised his head and asked, "Who is it?" "

"A man and a woman, with a raw face." Li Huan's daughter-in-law said.

"It must be the thief Huai'an saw that day." Shen Yu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and said, "Mother, use it slowly, I'll go ahead and take a look." "

"Dad, I'll go too!" Huai'an chased after him.

The most surprised person in the whole family is him, in Xiao Huai'an's memory, at the ninth point of the first month, he clearly heard that someone was cheating in the side courtyard, how did he turn into a thief who stole things?

"Slow down, slow down." Chen repeatedly told Shen Yu: "You hold him, don't let him fall!" "

Shen Yu naturally took his son's little hand, stepped over the high threshold, and walked along the corridor through the second gate.

The front yard was brightly lit, and the clear yellow light stretched the shadows of father and son slenderly. A man and a woman were tied up with five flowers, kneeling in the middle of the courtyard with their mouths gagged, unkempt, with a blue nose and swollen face.

Li Huan pushed aside a group of small servants and stepped forward and presented a confession: "Uncle, they are habitual thieves in the county, they came in over the courtyard wall to steal things, and they have come more than once. "

Huai'an stood on the steps, looked up at his father, and tilted his head to look at the "thief" in the court, and couldn't see the appearance of the two at all.

He deliberately pointed to the "female thief" and asked: "You are obviously human, why do you call him a 'dead ghost'?" "

Li Huan pulled out the strip of cloth stuffed in the mouth of the female thief, and the female thief retched for a while and raised her head to look at Li Huan.

Li Huanyin reprimanded: "The young master is asking you, what do you want me to do?" "

The female ghost opened her mouth and stammered, "The dead ghost is...... Be...... It's jargon, and in our profession, we call our companions 'dead ghosts'. "

Huai'an was suspicious, and he had to ask again, only to hear his father take the first step and say in a deep voice: "Send it to the official." "

"Yes." Li Huan waved his hand, and a group of small people forked the "thief" down.

"Dad, I haven't finished asking yet." Huai'an looked depressed.

Shen Yu couldn't say anything and led him to the back house: "The little officials in the county government will ask for you clearly, if you delay any longer, the meal will be cold." "

"……"

He was almost sure that most of the two thieves were group actors found by Li Huan, and they acted in such a thief catching drama to calm his heart.

Shen Yu squeezed his little hand again and said, "The thief has been caught, so you don't have to be afraid in the future." "

Huai'an nodded and agreed crisply. With his father and family who love him like this, what is there to be afraid of?

In fact, Huai'an guessed not accurately enough, the man and the woman were not group performers, they were the servants on the stage. is not a professional actor, how can there be such a good on-the-spot reaction?

Li Huan escorted them out of the gate with the servant, and in the dark place at the corner of the street, he took out a dime of broken silver and handed it to them.

The servant quit: "There are no words that have been negotiated before, and there are words that are another price." "

Li Huan was helpless, so he added another dime of silver and sent them away.

……

The next day, the afternoon sun sprinkled through the pane on the Luohan bed in the warm pavilion, a large piece of warmth.

Huai'an recited a book on the bed, sometimes lying on the edge of the bed with his head down, sometimes sitting and shaking his head, sometimes burying his whole face in the book, wishing to tear off the pages and eat them.

He has never been able to master any memorization methods, and in his previous life, he chose science because of his poor memory, and this life is obviously not much better.

Someone pushed the door in, it was Shen Yu. Huai'an sat up quickly, otherwise it would be strange not to be beaten with that four-leaning posture.

Shen Yu had actually seen it a long time ago, glanced at him, and disdained to bother with him: "Dad will show you something." ”

Only then did Huai An notice that his father had a book in his hand, and he pulled his shoes out of bed and walked into the bookcase in the warm pavilion.

It turned out that Dad drew "A Thousand Words" into a lifelike villain book, each allusion is accompanied by illustrations and annotations, and the line outline is a little childish, which is both cute and expressive.

This is probably the first children's picture version of "Thousand Words" in history.

"Dad, you've drawn a book for me in just a few days?" Huai'an was so shocked that his voice trembled.

Shen Yuyun said lightly: "What is this, you read the scriptures quickly, my father can draw the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", if you go out of service and return to Beijing to take office, I am afraid that there will be no time." ”

Huai'an swallowed his saliva, moved, and stopped talking.

Shen Yu looked at his blushing face, and said helplessly: "If you have something to say, in front of your father, there is nothing that you can't say directly." ”

Huai An hesitated and said: "I'm so stupid, and I'm not as smart as my eldest brother at all, why does my father bother with all this effort for me?" ”

Shen Yu was stunned, he didn't expect a five-year-old child to have such a strange thought. He hugged his son on his lap and said seriously: "Father and mother gave birth to you, and it is their responsibility to raise you well, what does it have to do with whether you are smart or not?" “

Shen Yu paused, and then said, "Besides, who said that Huai'an is not smart?" Hasn't endorsement grown a lot lately? We only compare ourselves with ourselves and do our part well, and we are the best children. ”

Huai'an nodded.

It's just that for some reason, my eyes suddenly fogged, and I didn't want to be seen, so I turned around and flipped through the pages of the picture book.

Later generations said that the chicken baby is not as good as the chicken itself, and the parents themselves can't fly, and it is very unreasonable to lay an egg and let the egg fly.

But his father and mother are eagles, cranes, and Dapeng birds that fight in the sky, and the eggs laid by Dapeng birds can't fly, which is obviously even more unreasonable.

Huai'an secretly determined that he wanted to change his mind and face, and he wanted to study hard!

Thinking about it, tiredness hit, so he hugged Shen Yu's arm and dozed off.

Chapter 10

It was the age of snooze, and Shen Yu couldn't bear to wake him up, so he had to suppress his anger and use his empty hand to make Buddha beads.

As a kind father, he constantly reminds himself to think more about his child's strengths, such as his sleep is so good that it is enviable......

When Huai'an woke up from a nap, he found himself lying on the Luohan bed in the warm pavilion wrapped in a soft brocade quilt, and he was carried over at some point. Daddy was next to him, propping up the bed table and reading a book, his little body crawled up with a bone, sat on the edge of the bed to wake up, and dangled with his bare feet.

In his past life and now, he has never been able to wear socks in the house.

Shen Yu was helpless and took out the small socks hidden under the couch table.

Hao's mother brought snacks and water, and put down the tea tray when she saw this: "Uncle, let the old slave come." ”

Shen Yutui said no, and put on his son's socks with his own hands.

Huai'an continued to eat snacks with his little feet, while peeking at his father's expression, frantically testing on the verge of death.

Shen Yu is still just reading, neither angry nor impatient.

This tepid attitude made Huai Xin feel restless, ate the piece of dim sum in his hand, wiped his little hands, and consciously picked up his "new picture book" - "Thousand Words".

Illustrated, vivid and interesting.

After all, he has the comprehension ability of a high school student, and he has memorized it many times, and when combined with the pictures, he memorizes it much faster.

Shen Huai'an didn't feel anything, but Shen Yu was deeply encouraged, and from this day on, he became more and more concerned about his study.

When people see a glimmer of light after putting in their efforts, they will regard it as a blazing sun. What's more, Shen Yu, as his own father, will not regard this huge progress as the inevitability of maturity makes perfect, but takes it for granted: My son has a lot of potential, and his son can be taught.

Fortunately, Shen Yu's godson has never rolled his son, only himself. Even if Shen Huai was angry, he gritted his teeth, at most, he chanted silently with the Buddha beads: "If you can't do it, you will ask for yourself." (1) Then teach it in a different way.

He didn't take as much trouble as he did to get into the Jinshi himself.

Huai'an learned to learn, and suddenly said with a serious face: "Dad, agarwood is used to smell incense, not to play, and there is no fragrance when the slurry is dished, which ruins this good material." ”

This was what his grandmother had told him before, and he remembered it clearly.

Shen Yu squinted at him, raising his eyebrows, are you teaching me to do things?
