"Don't think blindly." Minghua rolled her eyes at him, "It's enough for Xiao Mei and I to live together. The eldest brother and the second brother will need to buy a lot of things in the future, so it would be more suitable to live in a larger yard. Besides, you don't have to move when you get married. Yes, right?"
Xiao Hongping curled his lips, "I don't want to get married. I want to see what it's like outside. I've seen a lot of things along the way. I want to study abroad in the future."
"Studying abroad is a good idea, I also have this idea." Minghua was very moved, just like traveling in later generations.
"Don't think about it." Xiao Hongkang said something in time to dispel their thoughts, "Second brother, do you think traveling is a simple matter? Money, routes, and safety are all problems; you can feel free to go out to play. What will your parents do? what should we do?"
It's hard to talk about the younger sister, so let's talk about the second brother; get one for surgery.
Minghua pursed her lips and smiled. It was really inconvenient for her to study abroad as a girl. Unless she had the ability to protect herself, she would just think about it.
"Brother, if we don't have money to make, we can't lack enthusiasm in this area, right?" Xiao Hongping protested: "I can slowly save money, and when I save enough, I can go out; besides, my husband also said that reading It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.”
"I've made progress." Xiao Hongkang smiled half-heartedly. Seeing that Xiao Hongping felt comfortable, he continued to speak, "You've learned how to use your words to stop me. It's amazing!"
"Brother, I know you are doing it for our own good; but my little sister and I just want to go out for a walk. When the time comes, can I go with my little sister? You can come too."
Xiao Hongkang was too lazy to talk to him and just gave him a blank look.
Although he got two pairs of eyes in a row, Xiao Hongping didn't change his mind and silently calculated how much money he would need to save before traveling.
Minghua said: "Brother, actually the second brother's idea is good. Xingzhi Academy also has students who go out to study every year. No matter how much you study, you haven't seen all kinds of things in the world. No matter how good you write articles, they are just words on paper and empty words."
"But, if we leave, my parents..."
"Mom and dad also have their own lives. When we grow up, we have our own dreams; if we have dreams, we must practice them. Regardless of success or failure, it is a valuable experience. Do we have to wait until we are old and dead to regret it?" Minghua used a modern rhetoric, "There are only more than 30,000 days in human life, and these days are really not enough. A wasted day is a day, and a full day is a day. We want to see the outside. The world where you live, then go and take advantage of your young age; you don’t have to take scientific examinations too frequently, you don’t have to worry about supporting a family, and you don’t have the fetters of Qingyun’s ambition, so just go and walk when you need to."
Xiao Hongkang looked at his sister and was told that his heart was moved; sometimes his life was not as understanding as his sister's, and even his second brother's daring was not as good as his. These were all things he needed to change.
The Xiao family will need him to support him in the future; the second brother may not have much success in the imperial examinations, and the younger sister is a daughter and will eventually get married. He is the only one who can support a big family and protect his younger brothers and sisters.
It's just that he can't see the future now.
I don’t know how much I need to grow to be able to protect them.
"Miss, the eldest young master, the second young master, and the servants have brought tea and cakes. You can sit down in the room and eat and talk." Xiao Mei led the two maids in, each with something in their hands.
Minghua calmed down the expression on her face and regained her composure, "Big brother and second brother, please, sit in the room."
"good."
The three brothers and sisters entered the main room of Minghua's courtyard. The furnishings in the room were simple. Minghua had no intention of changing it, so it was just like this for the time being. There was a table, four stools, and two long tables placed around the main room to store things.
"Little sister, your place is quite simple. In the future, you will be a lady, and you will have to buy everything you need. I heard from my classmates in the college who are from rich families. The congestion of the younger sisters at home is higher than that of them, and they have to buy everything they need. The speed is even more exquisite. Now that you have earned money, you should buy more good things for yourself." His eyes went back and forth, looking at the entire hall, "By the way, you should also prepare screens and other things."
Minghua looked at her second brother in confusion, "How do you know so much?"
Those children from wealthy families in the county school wouldn't describe the boudoir of their sisters at home, right?
"Listen to what they said, some people are rich, and they will put a screen in the main room; (This chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 185 Fuck the new girl 114
If there are mixed guests of both sexes, the screen will come in handy. If there are no guests, men and women should have separate tables for dining at home..." I couldn't stop saying this.
Nao Nao Nao talked about all the things he heard from people in the county school.
Xiao Hongkang held his forehead, not knowing what to say to this unscrupulous second brother; if he were an outsider, what he said would more or less attract some criticism to himself. Being lax is also a form of talking. No one will dare to talk to him in the future, let alone express his sincerity.
After Minghua heard this, he said to his second brother: "How they live their lives is their business, and how I live their lives is my business. Everyone's life is different, and what's more! Second brother, your mouth is out there. But you have to be tight, don't let people say you are a big-mouthed man with a long tongue."
"Hey, little sister, I'm just telling you...that's not right! In ancient times, there were only women with long tongues. Where did the men with long tongues come from?" Xiao Hongping nodded at her and gloated: "You used the wrong word. ”
Minghua didn't know what he was so happy about. Is this a matter of using the wrong words?
"A woman who talks too much is called a woman with a long tongue, and a man who talks too much is called a woman with a long tongue. Why can't she be called a man with a long tongue? Could it be called a husband with a long tongue?"
Xiao Hongkang listened happily. Xiao Hongping was choked by the question and couldn't answer for a while.
Minghua tutted, "Okay, let's have some tea."
After the three of them sat down, Minghua poured a cup of tea for each of them. Finally, she poured a cup for herself and took a sip. The comfort spread from her heart to the outside.
"Life is like tea, it's true."
"How did you gain such deep understanding at such a young age?" Xiao Hongkang didn't think the tea was delicious, but it was just a thirst quencher.
Minghua hummed and told them that life was too early; they were both too young, and it would be better to realize it on their own after all. ..
"Little sister, why is the tea here so bitter?" Xiao Hongping sighed, then frowned and stuck out his tongue, the bitter taste spreading in his throat.
"Take your time, who told you to drink like a cow?"
Minghua took another sip and said to him: "Life is half bitter and half sweet. Savor it carefully, and the aftertaste is sweet. Only after the bitterness has passed, the sweetness will become more precious."
Xiao Hongkang and Xiao Hongping listened with half-understanding, and they felt more and more that the younger sister's gap was too big; the feeling that they were stretching each other became more and more obvious, which also made Xiao Hongkang anxious. As the eldest brother, he was falling behind step by step.
"Little sister, how are you and your mother doing in the capital? We haven't seen each other for a year, and we can't understand many of your words." A gap has arisen unknowingly.
