"Returning to mother, of course I learned it."
Sun asked in a calm and even cold tone: "Oh? Then, my two good sons, why don't you help mother to clear up my doubts?"
The two brothers looked at each other again and said, "Mother, please tell me."
"Why don't you two tell me about "Warring States Policy·Wei Ce Four·Longyang Weeping Fish"?"
Xu Zaizhang: "Mother, what's so difficult about this? This Long Yang Weeping Fish is talking about that during the Warring States Period, King Wei and Lord Long Yang were fishing together in the same boat...Brother, why are you pulling me?"
Xu Zaiduan: "Mother, we know we were wrong."
"Brother, the idiom in this Warring States Policy is Longyang Weeping Fish, which mostly means falling out of favor. Why do you have to apologize to your mother?"
Xu Zaijing was also a little curious, but seeing that his eldest brother was a little ashamed, and his second brother still didn't understand anything, it didn't seem to be a big deal.
But when he heard the word "Longyang", Xu Zaijing's heart trembled, and he knew something was wrong.
There are many people in Bianjing, many distinguished people, and many rich people.
Children are also exposed to the intimate and dirty things of rich and wealthy people and unconsciously learn them.
Maybe it was something like this in the school my two older brothers went to.
Perhaps this is why Mrs. Sheng, who was born in the Yongyi Hou Mansion, did not find a noble family, but found a scholar.
Mrs. Sheng has seen too much of the shabby affairs of the noble family.
However, in Xu Zaijing's view, Mrs. Sheng, who was the only daughter of Marquis Yongyi at the time, viewed the issue too one-sidedly.
It is not only one-sided but also arbitrary and engages in professional discrimination.
Who told her that the children of the noble family of military officers all had crotch extensions, but the children of scholars were a breath of fresh air?
Perhaps when the old lady was still a simple girl waiting to be married, she developed professional worship after reading a few articles with outstanding literary talent.
The mind is blinded by the filter of scholars.
The one who is tired of life wants to marry Tanhua Lang.
Well, considering the fact that the top three flowers are all handsome men, Mrs. Sheng is still a judge of appearance.
Regardless of the story at that time, the face of Xu Zaijing's mother, Sun, became increasingly ugly.
"Reach out."
The two brothers stretched out their hands with some fear.
Xiaozhu, Sun's personal maid, walked up to them.
"beat."
"Pah! Pah!"
"hiss."
"It hurts, mother!"
"Hit again!"
"Pah! Pah!"
"Your father worked for you in the bitter cold of the Northwest Army, but you are here in the gentle countryside of Bianjing... doing all these dirty things to me!"
"Hit again!"
"Mom, stop fighting. My eldest brother and I didn't participate."
"Not involved? Why didn't you say something like this?"
Xu Zaijing hurriedly walked to his mother and persuaded:
"Mom, as nobles, it would be difficult for us to change our family to study. The eldest and second brothers are also afraid of embarrassing you by saying it."
Mrs. Sun glanced at it and sneered: "You kid, what the hell are you doing...talking nonsense! If you want to get slapped, just kneel there."
Xu Zaijing quickly covered his mouth.
"From now on, you should study at home first, and I will ask someone to find a gentleman to come and sit at home! I heard from the servants around you that last month you went to Qiyun Tower to drink wine?"
"Mom, that's all the schoolmates paying for it to see the world..."
"Erlang, shut up."
The eldest brother Xu Zai said.
"Hit again."
Those two blows just now have turned the hands of the two brothers red.
As he spoke, his palms became more sensitive.
After the third blow, the two brothers were already in tears.
"Do you know why I'm still beating you?"
Xu Zaiduan frowned and thought, then shook his head.
"Let me ask you, how much money did you collect?"
"Erlang and I paid thirty taels, and all of them were given to Duke Lingguo's family..."
"Okay, I actually got together with Duke Ling's family. Fight again!"
When the bamboo board fell down, the two brothers were already throbbing in pain.
"First mistake, I collected money to drink flower wine. Second mistake, I spent thirty taels of silver and drank flower wine.
Jing'er, don't laugh. When you find your husband, you will also study with your two brothers.
If I had known that you had failed in your efforts, there would have been only a few more boards than this time. "
Xu Zaijing smiled innocently and said flatteringly
"Don't worry, mother."
The next day, the two Xu brothers stopped going to that school.
Instead, I started reading at home.
The left hand is covered with medicine and he is reading.
Sun even asked someone to buy copybooks from the street near the Imperial College, and asked Xu Zaijing to start copying them after practicing the spear and bow breathing method.
Afternoon,
In the mistress's room in the courtyard, Mrs. Bai walked over from behind Xu Zaijing, who was concentrating on copying copybooks.
He said in a rather curious tone: "Sister, I thought that Brother Jing, who likes riding horses and shooting arrows, would not be able to calm down. But today, it seems that I was wrong."
Mrs. Sun glanced at Xu Zaijing who was attentive. She lowered her head and coaxed Ms. Bai's daughter Gu Tingyi.
"Hey, good sister Yi."
She raised her head again and glanced at Xu Zaijing, who was not paying attention. She whispered: "Yesterday, I beat the boss and the second child hard, and they were watching from the side."
Bai quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, fearing that her laughter would spread.
It's like "killing the chicken and showing it to the monkey".
Turning to Bai Shi said,
"It's true that I can't use this method. The eldest son of the Gu family is already weak. I have also tried to find ways in the past few years, but Yu'er's body has always been so weak."
"Don't worry, I think your Ye'er is also a sensible person, and he is very strong and refuses to admit defeat. The other day he saw that his brother could write well, so he felt calm and went to practice calligraphy."
"Stop talking about him. He was quiet while you were here. When you left, he made a fuss again."
"I am similar to your brother Ye. I am obedient in front of others." Sun said to Bai in a low voice.
"Look what you said."
"Wow wow wow..."
Gu Tingyi cried in Sun's arms.
Bai took her daughter and said while shaking it:
"The Dongchang Hou Mansion also often sends medicine to my eldest brother."
Mrs. Sun glanced at her youngest son.
He said in a hesitant tone
"Sister, some words come out of my mouth and into your ears, but don't let the third person know, okay?"
"Don't worry, sister, if you hear something in my ears, it will never come out of my mouth."
"I see that you have grown up to be noble and noble. Mr. Bai must hold you in his hands for fear of falling, and hold you in his mouth for fear of melting.
This person has such magnanimity that no one from a small family like me in Bianjing can compare with you.
However, you are so noble and noble, but you are also less defensive. "
"Sister? What do you mean?"
"Did you know that the old Marquis of Dongchang Marquis Mansion has passed away and that the Qin family is now in charge?"
"Sister means...that's his nephew."
Sun shook her head,
"My sister is the only daughter in your family. You own everything in the family. You must have never experienced brothers and sisters snatching things from you. When I was in my natal family, my mother followed my father's instructions and was a military housekeeper. In addition, my family is all in the military, so it's not bad. "
After straightening Gu Tingyi's clothes, Sun continued
"But I know children from other families. The favored ones are well-dressed, well-fed, and taken care of by their parents. The unfavored ones, or the sons and daughters of concubines, are barely treated like kittens or puppies. "
Bai, who was so well protected by her father Bai Wanshu, looked at Sun in surprise.
"I've heard of it, but I've rarely seen it."
"Then you know, some children will deliberately pretend to be sick in order to compete for favor, or let themselves get really sick? There are also those who are precocious and do not distinguish between good and evil, and will push their brothers and sisters into the pond."
Bai was stunned and glanced at Aunt Chang behind her.
Grandma Chang nodded with a serious face.
