Chapter 170: Curve Retention
The fire in the charcoal basin was red, reflecting the red face of Lin Suniang, who was peeling oranges on the side. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info next to Pan Pan picked up the Goryeo pine nuts sent by Wang Wen a few days ago, and teased her sister who leaned on her side from time to time, like a little adult.
Xu Ping sat at his desk, flipping through a large pile of books on the table, and from time to time took out a pen to write something on the paper.
Lin Suniang stuffed a petal of orange into Panpan's mouth, ate a few petals herself, clapped her hands and said to Xu Ping: "You are usually busy with government affairs, you don't read much, and you don't go to the classics until you use it." I really don't burn incense at ordinary times, and I cram for Buddha feet temporarily. ”
Xu Ping put down the book in his hand, straightened up, rubbed his forehead and said, "Usually I am so busy with political affairs that my head is big, where do I still have the heart to calm down and read books." If there is a sentence without a sentence, it is better not to read it. Besides, what's wrong with the temporary cramming, you only know what's important when you use it, and you will remember it, and it's better to watch it once than a hundred times in peacetime. ”
Lin Suniang smiled: "Anyway, you always have a point, and I can't talk about you." But now that you have children, you have to think about setting a good example for your children, not for yourself. ”
Panpan on the side heard this, raised his head and said seriously: "I think Daddy has a point, what's the use of reading so many books on weekdays?" I can't remember! Just flip it over when you use it, and remember it when you look at it! ”
Lin Suniang listened to her daughter's words, and couldn't help but smile and scolded: "You just heard the way to hide lazy, and your ears are sharp!" What kind of book is that your daddy reading? The book of sages, he has read it since he was a child, but he is usually busy with government affairs and less study, where is he usually not reading! You've only been reading for a few days, and you're tired, what's the point! If you can't read and write, who will you marry in the future? ”
Pan Pan pursed her lips and whispered with a bitter face: "My daughter's house, don't go to Zhongjinshi to be the champion, what's the use of reading so many books?" forced me to read and write every day, suffocating myself! ”
Xu Ping turned around and beckoned to Panpan: "Come here, Daddy will tell you." ”
Panpan thought that his father was going to make decisions for himself, so he happily ran to Xu Ping's side, raised his face and said, "It's better for Daddy to be reasonable!" ”
Xu Ping hugged Panpan and said to her: "You feel bitter now, because Mother-in-law Weng Weng was used to you in the past, for fear that you would suffer a little grievance, and everything depends on your temperament." You ask your mom, how did she live as a child? Your grandfather is much stricter, and he doesn't usually talk about anyone, and he read more books than me when he was a child. ”
Pan Pan grinned: "But in the end, Daddy was admitted to the Jinshi and became a big official, and my mother could only stay at home." It can be seen that it is useless to read so many books when I was a child, as long as I marry someone like Daddy who can read-"
"If you can't read or write, which Jinshi will want you! Just like your mother, if you can't read big words, you usually don't have anything to say to your father, so life is boring. Don't make trouble, follow your mother to read more books in the future, it will be beneficial in the future. ”
Pan Pan pursed her lips, this was obviously not to her heart. Her age is the age of fun and activity, where is it easy to sit down and read and write. However, she has not been in this kind of life for a few years, and she must let Lin Suniang take her heart back, and she can't grow into a crazy girl when she grows up. This year in the circle of scholars, it is not important to pay attention to women's lack of talent, everyone is beautiful, the first thing is to require literacy and hyphenation, and will write some poems of wind and snow. Then follow the etiquette and be able to keep the house in order. What does a good wife look like? In fact, just look at Lin Suniang. Officials are wandering outside the home, and their wives must be able to manage the house, manage the house, and take care of all aspects.
Seeing that it was not early, Lin Suniang asked Panpan to take her sister to sleep and sent her out.
Waiting for Panpan to go out, Lin Suniang said: "Are you going to be busy again these days?" ”
"Yes, Master Yan's visit this time is very important, and I can't make the slightest mistake. You are usually fine, you can go to the rich house and walk around, let Mrs. Yan talk about it, and stay with Master Yan on Jingxi Road for a few more days. ”
Lin Suniang smiled lightly: "I understand, I will naturally tell her." Mrs. Yan is a good wife and mother, and the rich family depends on her to take care of it. You have made Luoyang City much richer and more lively than in previous years this year, and she will not shirk it when she sees it in her eyes. ”
Xu Ping sighed: "Alas, I really didn't want you to be involved in the official matter. It's just that this time is special, we must stay with Master Yan for a few more days, otherwise we will not be able to do it. I can only work hard for you. ”
"You are an official in the imperial court, and the family members between friends walk around every day, where can you really be completely isolated from the things in the officialdom? It's always inevitable, I understand, these little things can still be done, as long as I don't really let a woman do anything big. When the time comes, I don't say that I can't do it, and there will be gossip outside. ”
Xu Ping smiled: "No, I have a sense of proportion." - By the way, how are you doing these days? ”
"Fortunately, except for wanting to eat something sour, it's nothing special. I don't have to worry about you, but Xiuxiu is there, you should pay more attention. She lives outside alone, it is inevitable that she will be lonely, and now it is cold, don't break her body. ”
In recent months, Lin Suniang and Xiuxiu have been pregnant almost at the same time, and they don't know how to catch up so coincidentally. Zhang Sanniang was so happy when she knew it, she was running around at both ends recently, and she was thinking about hugging her grandson quickly. There are a lot of people at home, Lin Suniang is less in charge of things, and she can raise the fetus with peace of mind, but there is nothing. Xiuxiu is the only one who lives there, and it is the first time she has given birth, so she suffers from gains and losses, and her mood is not very stable. Xu Ping is busy these days, so he has to ask his mother to accompany him.
Looking at Lin Suniang, Xu Ping remembered that there was a couple in his village in his previous life, and the first child gave birth to a daughter, and happily named it "Golden Branch". The second child gave birth to another daughter, named "Yuye". Unexpectedly, the third child gave birth to another daughter, and the father was impatient, so he simply named him "girl". Unexpectedly, the fourth child gave birth to a daughter, and the father finally got angry and named him "stinky girl". I don't know if my third child will be a boy or a girl, if I have another daughter, I don't have anything, I don't know what my parents think, let alone what Lin Suniang will think.
Thinking of this, Xu Ping's face couldn't help but show a weird smile.
Lin Suniang looked at Xu Ping's face and asked strangely, "What do you remember?" How is it so strange? ”
Xu Ping hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered what our eldest son should be called at that time." ”
Lin Suniang was a little unconvinced, but she didn't ask any more questions, just frowned and said: "What you said also makes sense, the eldest son is different from the eldest daughter Panpan, and you can't just mess with your name." It's a pity that Daddy is not there, he is the most knowledgeable and has the best name. ”
Xu Ping sighed secretly, the girl believes in her father in everything, and she wants to pester herself, and Lin Suniang is also superstitious about her father. In fact, Xu Ping is a genuine Jinshi at home, and now he has done Longtu Pavilion Straight Bachelor, and Xu Ping should be pushed first when he talks about learning. But in Lin Suniang's heart, only his father Lin Wensi is the most learned person in the world, Xu Ping doesn't want to say that he can only do it now, even if he really becomes a scholar in Hanlin one day, it will not be comparable.
