Chapter 31: I miss my father
Tang Shuyi came out of the study and saw Xiao Yuming's two long-standing inkstones and graphite, kneeling outside the door.
Walking up to them, she said, "You are the second son's people, he is good to you, and if he is not good, you will be even worse." Think carefully about what is good for your master and what is bad for him. ”
Yan Tai and Graphite knelt on the ground and trembled, Tang Shuyi asked the little maid guarding the study to lock the door and turn back to the backyard. As soon as she left, the inkstone and graphite both fell to the ground, and Mrs. Hou was too strong to compare with Master Hou.
The two took a few breaths, got up and walked to the door of the study, pouted their butts and looked through the crack in the door, and the inkstone said: "Childe, don't do such a dangerous thing in the future, the slave is scared when he thinks about it." ”
He was a coward, and now when he thinks of Mrs. Hou's eyes just now, he is still terrified.
Xiao Yuming inside didn't speak, and his graphite mouth was attached to the crack in the door and said, "Childe, you squeak, Madame punished you for kneeling or punished you for fasting?" ”
As he spoke, he looked left and right, saw that there was no one, and lowered his voice and said, "If Madame punishes you to kneel, don't be as solid as the eldest prince, anyway, no one is watching, you just lie down and it's fine." ”
"Why are you alright?" The inkstone next to him said: "The eldest son's knee has been swollen for many days after kneeling overnight, if our son has nothing to do after kneeling, Mrs. will definitely know." ”
Graphite: "......"
"Okay," Xiao Yuchen's voice came from inside, "Mother just wants me to think about what to do in the future, I'm fine." The two of you went out to inquire about Yan Wu's situation. ”
Both inkstone and graphite should be after listening.
Here, as soon as Tang Shuyi returned to Shi'an Yuan and sat down, she received a message from Wu's mansion, saying that Mrs. Wu wanted to bring her daughter tomorrow. She didn't hesitate to let people go back, and tomorrow she swept the couch to greet her.
She just wants to meet the heroine in the book, she really doesn't want to face the heroine. After all, the heroine of a book must have a halo. It would be best if she and Xiao Yuchen's family affairs could retire peacefully and amicably.
It's just that I don't know what the heroine thinks, but if Wu Jingyun bites their Hou Mansion to death, then she won't be polite.
At dinner, Tang Shuyi asked people to send food to the study, and she ate it with Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuzhu.
Xiao Yuchen went out today and didn't know about Xiao Yuming, so Tang Shuyi told him, and then said: "I don't think he can sit down and read, so I want him to practice martial arts, but he also likes it." Anyway, you can't keep messing around like this. ”
"It's also a good way for the second brother to learn martial arts and join the army, after all, my grandfather and father are both in the army." Xiao Yuchen thought in his heart that he would go to see Xiao Yuming after eating and have a good chat with him.
Tang Shuyi didn't think about it, letting Xiao Yuming inherit the legacy of his grandfather and father was mainly to see what he liked to do and what he was suitable for.
She said: "If he really has the ability of your grandfather and father, your grandfather and I will naturally plan for him, but the key is still up to him." ”
Both ancient and modern, teenage children can be a source of worry. In modern society, the age of fourteen is the age to take the high school entrance examination, and everyone hopes that their children can be admitted to a key high school. In ancient times, fourteen or fifteen-year-old children were basically adults, and their families had begun to plan a way out for them and determine their future career direction.
"Tomorrow, Mrs. Wu will bring a few girls to the mansion, what are your plans?" Tang Shuyi changed the topic and asked Xiao Yuchen.
Xiao Yuchen was stunned after hearing this, he has been busy reading and learning about some general affairs these days, of course, he often thinks of his sister Qin who suffered in Zhuangzi, Miss Wu Er, he has long forgotten about it.
"I listen to my mother in everything." He said.
"Okay." Tang Shuyi didn't want Xiao Yuchen and Wu Jingyun to meet tomorrow, so he said again: "If you have something to do tomorrow, you will be busy with you." ”
Xiao Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Tang Shuyi would let him see Wu Jingyun tomorrow. He didn't want to see such a ruthless woman, and he didn't know what to say when he met.
"Tomorrow there will be an elegant gathering in Yunxi Building, and I will participate with my cousin." He said.
Tang Shuyi took a sip of soup, and then asked, "Where is the elegant gathering of the literati in Shangjing?" ”
Yaji is a gathering of literati, who gather together to recite poems or discuss some current affairs.
Xiao Yuchen thought for a while and said, "The elegant gatherings in Beijing are generally in those few elegant restaurants, such as Yunxi Mansion and Mingyue Pavilion. ”
"Are they all restaurants? Is the place big? Is it the size of a house with three entrances? Tang Shuyi asked.
"How big a restaurant can be, it's just a small yard." Xiao Yuchen said.
Tang Shuyi listened to his words thoughtfully, she thought of the business club in modern society, including catering, accommodation, entertainment, meetings and other functions. If you open such a club in Shangjing, it should be a good business.
She had a rough idea in her mind and wanted to go back and do some market research.
After eating, Xiao Yuchen accompanied Tang Shuyi to talk for a while and left. When he arrived at the front yard, he did not go back to his yard, but walked outside Xiao Huai's study. When the little servant who took care of the study saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and said, "The eldest son, the lady said that the second son should be quiet, and no one else can go in." ”
Xiao Yuchen hummed and waved his hand to let him leave, and then stood in front of the door of the study in silence. He wanted to explain some reason to Xiao Yuming, but he didn't know what to say when he thought about it in his head, mainly because his eldest brother had not done well enough before and was not qualified to educate him.
There was silence for a long time, and finally he turned away without saying a word.
In the study, Xiao Yuming heard the movement outside, and also knew that Xiao Yuchen was outside. He thought that Xiao Yuchen would educate him in a rambling manner like a few days ago, but he didn't expect to leave without saying a word, and he was still a little stunned in his heart.
Lying on the couch behind the screen, he tilted his head to look through the window at the dark night outside. I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I once played hide and seek with someone, and when the person guarding the study was unprepared, he slipped in and hid under this small couch, and then fell asleep unconsciously, causing the whole house to look for him.
It was only later that his father heard his snoring and carried him out from under the little bed. I remember that at that time, my father slapped him with a serious face, and the slap was raised very high, but it didn't hurt very much when it landed on the buttocks. He remembers that his father had said many times that he was like him.
I missed my father and thought about it in particular.
Tears unconsciously filled his eyes, and when they were about to flow out, Xiao Yuming reached out and wiped them away. Manly men shed blood without tears.
