When Xiao Zhengning returned with Xiao Hongping, the family had a lively dinner and dispersed.
Minghua went back to her room and washed up and went to sleep, but Xiao Hongkang and Xiao Hongping were reading in the room with an oil lamp on. After washing up, Xiao Leshi and his wife sat on the bed and talked, and Xiao Leshi told her husband what she was thinking.
"I think my mother may think that our life is too good, so she wants us to help my second uncle's family. But what if my mother knows that our life is not as good as it seems on the surface?"
Xiao Zhengning nodded slightly and agreed with his wife's words, "This is just one of them. My mother is also dissatisfied with her granddaughter's way of taking over the family property. This house has become a knot in my heart. If the house is under Sanya's name, my mother cannot be satisfied. , this is a knot that cannot be untied.”
Xiao Leshi sighed deeply, thought about it, and then said: "The house is under Sanya's name, we can't change it, and we can't change it; they are all our children, and Sanya will not dislike us, so why bother, mother?" Woolen cloth."
"After Sanya and I arrived in the capital, thanks to Sanya's favor with the father-in-law of Weiyuan Palace, we first stayed in Weiyuan Palace; then Sanya's master took him to his residence, and then his master sent him The name of this house is directly under Sanya’s name and has nothing to do with us!”
"Sanya was also involved in Kangkang's letter of introduction and everything. If my mother does this again, what should I do if it alienates the relationship between Sanya and Kangkang's brother and sister?" Does the mother-in-law want to break up their family for the sake of the second wife and her family?
"I will tell my mother about this, and you will come with me when the time comes. We made it clear to our parents back then that it is getting late, so go to sleep."
The couple fell asleep full of thoughts and had something on their minds. They seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping all night. When they woke up the next day, they were both a little haggard.
The family had dinner together. Minghua took Xiao Mei and took a carriage to the chief minister's residence. At the door, they met Ji Jin and Cui Changhe who came with them. Minghua walked up with a smile on her face.
"First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, good morning!"
"Good morning, little junior sister, did you sleep well last night?" Ji Jin raised a smile.
Cui Changhe also had a faint smile on his face, "Good morning, little junior sister."
Minghua smiled back and answered Ji Jin's question, "I slept well last night. Thank you for your concern, senior brother. Are you two senior brothers ready to take the master's exam today?"
Cui Changhe chuckled, and the junior sister was naughty again.
Ji Jin raised his head proudly, "Junior sister, it's not advisable to underestimate your brother. Just watch; today I will let you experience my brother's knowledge."
"We'll see."
The three of them smiled at each other and entered the chief minister's residence together, with Xiao Mei following behind. After she followed them in, she stopped going in when they reached the courtyard of the old man's Weiyuan residence. Having a meal with the servants at noon, you don't have to go back, and you don't have to wait all the time; you can also talk to the little sisters from the past, which is an easy job.
In the courtyard.
The three of them met Xu Lingjun.
Xu Lingjun raised one hand slightly to signal them to get up, "Who comes first today?"
"As a senior brother, disciples should not give in." Ji Jin stepped forward generously.
Xu Lingjun nodded obediently and picked up a copy of "The Complete Works of Zengzi" to take the test. Ji Jin could answer every question quickly. After that, Xu Lingjun felt that it was difficult and put down the book. He mixed the questions based on the various types of knowledge he listed.
Ji Jin would always pause for a while, think about it and still be able to reluctantly answer.
In the end, Xu Lingjun only listened when he was satisfied with him, and the same was true for Cui Changhe; when it came to Minghua, the requirements suddenly increased, and she could answer questions that were two levels higher than those of Ji Jin and Cui Changhe.
Ji Jin went to see Cui Changhe, expecting to see some disappointment or shock on his face; unexpectedly, she only saw a scene of him listening carefully, and felt embarrassed.
When he met a younger brother who was emotional to Xiao Shimei, he was also suffering. It is estimated that the little sister can laugh at him, let alone a crackdown in school. Maybe, after passing the school entrance examination, the competitive spirit of the second junior brother was aroused.
He was right.
As soon as the exams were over, Xu Shoufu sent them to study separately; Cui Changhe fell into an unprecedented state of striving for self-improvement, which made Ji Jin's scalp numb. Of these two, one was born smart and the other was hardworking, leaving him alone as a mediocre person doubting life.
.
He really can't squeeze out his potential anymore, it's too difficult.
One day flies by.
Walking out of the chief minister's residence, Ji Jin's steps were frivolous and he was already floating; the relaxation and joy he felt during the exam was gone, and when they left, he was still in a dream.
"Little junior sister, take a step forward for my brother. You can take the second junior brother's carriage back today; second junior brother, you send the little junior sister home. I have to go home to find my self-confidence." I was so badly hit.
Ji Jin got on the carriage and left. Cui Changhe shook his head and laughed, and said to Minghua: "Little junior sister, senior brother has been hit hard by you. After studying for a day, everyone will feel bad."
"It's not me, it's us." Minghua said very to the point: "You are also studying hard, but senior brother is the only one who is having a hard time learning. _o_m "
Cui Changhe nodded, it was indeed the case; he asked Minghua and Xiao Mei to get on the carriage. Xiao Mei sat on the shaft as usual. In the carriage, Cui Changhe said in a low voice.
"Little junior sister, I found that after I ate the fruit you gave me, my brain started to work a little faster. Moreover, I always have endless energy in my body. I am no longer struggling to study as before. On the contrary, the more I study, the better I am." Therefore, he could understand why the junior junior sister became more and more enthusiastic about learning.
Minghua looked confused, but she was thinking that this should be the case; as for the senior brother, is it because Guozi's spiritual power has not been used well? Anyway, she didn't know what was going on.
She used to only eat that kind of spiritual fruit as a snack, but now she rarely eats it.
"Really?" he asked uncertainly.
Cui Changhe nodded seriously and solemnly, "Yes, this feeling is becoming more and more obvious. In the past, I was always uncomfortable because of my body, and I would be distracted from time to time. I was pretty good at studying, but I couldn't reach where I am now."
Minghua suspected that it was because of the hidden wounds in his body in the past and the harsh treatment he received when he was a child that the person who was supposed to be extremely smart turned into what he had seen before. Now that the hidden wounds are healed and the person is being recuperated, that's why he has this kind of behavior. state.
"This is a good thing! Second senior brother, study hard."
"Yes, I will." Cui Changhe looked at her seriously, his eyes burning; in the carriage with only two people, Cui Changhe's eyes were no longer concealed.
Minghua suddenly felt like a gleam on her back, it was a familiar look; the Japanese war in the previous world would often look at her with this look.
No way?
She is only eight years old.
Were boys in ancient times so precocious?
"Second Senior Brother." There was no response after calling out. Minghua continued to call: "Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, what are you looking at?"
Cui Changhe suddenly woke up and said, "Ah, um, it's okay; has the little junior sister grown taller?"
His ability to change the topic is quite good; Minghua nodded slightly, "Second senior brother has good eyesight. He has grown a little taller, just a little bit."
You have to grow taller even if you don’t grow taller.
o(╥﹏╥)o.
