Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Mu Ningxue is getting colder because of the weather, Brother Yu'er's winter clothes are made last year, and the children's clothes are a little too small when they grow fast, and they are afraid that they will wear it in front of them, so they hurriedly asked Xiuchun and Fangchun to open the box, picked out some ready-made silk, and watched the girls cut it.

In the past two years, except for a trip to Liaodong, the rest of the time she raised her youngest son by her side, got along day and night, listened to her husband's advice and slept with her son every night, not to mention how comfortable and warm it was, the touching taste of the mother and son connecting the hearts of the mother and child, it really made her very grateful to her husband.

The eldest son stayed at the parents-in-law's side and Cheng Huan's knees, and Mu Ningxue was busy taking care of trivial matters on the one hand, and she was busy teaching Brother Yu to endorse on the other.

Since Xu Yu was two years old, Mu Ningxue has found that her son is talented and intelligent, while Xu Ye carries all Xu Hao's expectations, not focusing on reading, but changing the law to ask him to try various experiences, such as studying under his aunt Xu Miaojin, going to the clan school, going to Mrs. Li's private school, and also going to the new school and the East Palace Zhan Mansion.

Now Xu Ye still has to learn from Yao Guangxiao, as well as learn the experience of the art of war left by Xu Da, and often go to the punishment station of the Qianqing Palace, be a little secretary to Zhu Gaochi, and watch the dialogue between the emperor and those scholars in the Wenhua Hall on all aspects, and the discussion of poetry and songs, in short, as the eldest son, Xu Ye shoulders the honor and disgrace of the entire family, and Xu Hao does not put any pressure on his son as much as possible.

Relatively speaking, Xu Ye has lived separately from his parents since he was sensible, just like most aristocratic young masters in ancient times, he was not deeply attached to his parents, which was also a big regret for Mu Ningxue, just like most aristocratic ladies, the mother and son were not very close, because there was too little time to spend alone.

Like most mothers, Mu Ningxue's love for her young son is obvious. I really want to make up for the regret of the eldest son, which also contains some guilt, because Brother Yu is not the heir of the family and cannot inherit the title, and any parents with a little foresight will treat the eldest son and the second son differently intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, Mu Ningxue will not treat her eldest son coldly because of this, and Xu Ye is not lacking in love, especially with all the care from his father, which is different from most strict fathers nowadays. There is no doubt that his childhood was a happy one.

Mu Ningxue was overjoyed with her young son's talent, since she was two years old, she taught him to memorize books hand-in-hand, reading is important, but the housework is heavy, and she can't help but often take care of one or the other, for the sake of her son's future, she recently came up with the idea of letting him go to the clan school to study for a few days, and then discuss it when her husband comes back.

The Xu family's ethnology moved to the countryside a few years ago, but they had to go out of the city and into the city every day. Soon, some of the elders of the clan opened a private school in the city, and some clansmen who did not want their children to boarding schools sent their children here, and reading the Four Books and the Five Classics was always the mainstream. Becoming an official in the imperial examination is still recognized as the only way out.

Originally, Xu Miaojin was the best candidate, but she accepted Zhang Chai's invitation, and now she is the acting principal of the women's normal school, and she has no time. The gentleman who came to the family study again is Xu Wenru, who is the same generation as Xu Da. I moved from my hometown five years ago, and although I am old, I am still in good spirits. He is also a teacher who has taught all his life, and he wants the old to teach children, the most patient, half-teaching and half-coaxing, and it is also suitable for pampering young children.

Early in the morning, Mu Ningxue went to see the Xiao family, euphemistically explained her intentions, and asked Xu Qingtang to send Brother Yu to study in the upper clan.

Xiao Shi smiled: "Oops! What are you anxious about? My brother is still young, how old is he to go to school? Even if it's early, we have to wait until he is seven or eight years old to send him there, so we can rest assured. ”

Mu Ningxue said: "Mrs. is right, but Ye'er is very different from other children, first, he naturally loves books, he can watch any play normally, and he will not be naughty with his classmates when he goes to school." Second, at present, he has read all the 'university' and 'Analects', and is reciting 'Mencius', all of which I told him word by word. Speaking of which, my ability to explain is limited, and I am afraid that everything will delay him. The Sanlai School is also close to home, and there are many people around his father who can be trusted, no matter what happens, it won't worry us, so it's better to send it for a few days first. ”

"That's right." Xiao Shi was naturally surprised by her grandson's intelligence, but she preferred her eldest grandson more.

After discussing with her husband in the evening, Xu Qingtang smiled when she heard this: "Learning should be gradual, and you must not pull out seedlings to help you grow." Well, Ming'er will give Yu'er a try, and if he can go to school, he will be sent there. ”

This news soon spread throughout the family, and some people were happy and some were sad. Last year, Xiao Yushi gave birth to a daughter, and she was inevitably depressed for a long time, in those days in Liaodong, Xu Hao completely became a seeding machine, this year, Zhiqing was very angry and gave birth to a son, and then Qingwen gave birth to a daughter, but the belly of Musk Yue and others still did not move, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Xiao Yuying, who is outside the city, has the same fate as her cousin and has a daughter, but their influence will naturally never be compared with the main room, although they also celebrated lively, because Xu Hao's absence and the status of the children's concubine, it is natural that they are not valued by the family.

In the final analysis, there is a price to be paid for being a junior, and it is when the status of the main wife is unshakable. Of course, Xu Hao will not make them resentful, with the human and financial resources and status of the Xu family, any child will be clothed and fed from birth, and there is no need to worry about the future.

If he is not even satisfied with the rich life and covets the head of the country, then Xu Hao can only hehe, with his ruthlessness, he found that whether it is Zhiqing or Qingwen Musk Yue, all that awaits them is death, and the child will also be sent overseas, and he will not be allowed to return to China for life, there is no room for maneuver in this regard, and he is not even allowed to make a mistake.

People's minds are the most complex and difficult to guess, since Zhiqing became pregnant, they have moved out of the Spring Guard, and then let his wife choose the most trusted person to serve. I want Xu Ye to be personally taken care of by the Xiao family, and the young son is raised by Mu Ningxue personally, a bowl of water is still biased, and only a complete bias towards his wife is the basis for the peace of the house.

The name of the child is given by Xu Qingtang, Xiao Yushi's daughter's name is Xu Yunyu, and Xiao Yuying's daughter's name is Xu Yunsu, so the Xu family recognizes Xiao Yuying's identity as an outer room, and Musk Yue's daughter is named Xu Yunning, which is quite intriguing. And when it came to Zhiqing's son, the concept of patriarchy was exposed, and he was named Xu Xu (Ju), which is no different from his two brothers-in-law.

Since the second room has been born one after another, the young master and the young lady have been born. There have naturally been many subtle changes in all aspects, and the relationship between people has become more complicated, and the second room already has the necessary factors to start the house fight, but unfortunately Xu Hao is too strong after all, so strong that as long as he is not stupid, he knows what to do.

The next day, Xu Qingtang went home early and sat in the upper room to chat with Xiao, and ordered someone to call his grandson to come.

Mu Ningxue was watching Xu Ye Wenshu in the house, and Ripple was teaching Xu Yu to write hand in hand, and immediately took the children to Jieshoutang.

Xu Qingtang sat cross-legged on the kang reading a book, and a white stone basin was placed on the kang table. There is a green calyx plum stake, the posture is strange, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and Xiao is sitting on the red sandalwood couch.

Mu Ningxue stepped forward to invite An, and the brothers also invited Shuang'an, calling grandpa and Mrs. Sheng.

Because Xu Hao is too close to his son, it forced Xu Qingtang to have to hold a shelf to his grandchildren recently, Xiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are all people who love their children, and there must be a dignified Cun Zài in this family.

So Xu Qingtang's expression was faint. Only gave the daughter-in-law and the ripple seats, let the two grandchildren stand, and asked, "Yu'er, do you love to study?" Do you know what you study for? ”

Xu Yu blinked. She said in a milky voice: "Books will teach us the truth of being a human being, and only when we understand the truth can we be considered adults, and my brother sued me, and I think it's right." ”

Xu Qingtang couldn't help but laugh suddenly. Nodding his head, he said, "Look at my grandson, he can speak the words of adults at a young age." Well, your brother taught well. You also learn well. ”

Xiao Shi gave her husband a blank look, how can there be such a grandfather? In one sentence, he broke his face, and then asked seriously: "What book have you read?" ”

Xu Yu replied: "My mother taught me 'The Book of Filial Piety', 'University', 'Analects' and now I read 'Mencius', my mother also taught me to read Tang poems, my cousin often tells me stories, and my brother likes to teach me pairs." ”

"Huh! How capable are you? Xu Qingtang was surprised, and said solemnly: "Then grandpa will give you a pair, didn't it just snow yesterday?" Just go out to look for plum blossoms, you might be right? ”

Mu Ningxue smiled and said nothing, as if she was confident, Ripple and Xiao Yezi looked at Xu Yu intently, and they were all nervous for him, and the people who rushed to hear the news crowded outside.

Xu Ye encouraged his younger brother and said, "Don't be nervous. ”

I saw Xu Yu think about it with his little head sideways, and said, "I want to rely on the clouds and climb the apricot, right?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it can be said that the skills are astonishing, and more than half of the people have never heard of these four words, and the maids and daughters-in-law are all praised, and they all say that the second young master is amazing, it won't be Wenqu Xing, right?

Xu Qingtang guessed that his daughter-in-law had taught him, or heard the elders say to him, and said with a smile: "The tone is not small, so do you know the origin of 'Yiyun'?" ”

Xu Yu blinked again, he completely inherited the advantages of his parents, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his cute little appearance made Xu Qingtang want to hug his hands and kiss him a few times, and Xu Ye's appearance was more similar to Xu Hao, his facial features were handsome and tough, and Xu Yu was more handsome and soft.

"There is a sentence in Tang poems, 'Red apricots on the edge of the sun are planted in the clouds', and I know this."

"Good!" Xu Qingtang was even more surprised, "Being able to live and learn is more than 100 times stronger than your father!" Ming'er will send you to the school, okay? ”

Xu Yu said honestly: "I don't want to go, I want to be with my mother." ”

Xu Qingtang nodded and said, "In the end, I'm still too young to leave my mother." Snow, what do you say? ”

Mu Ningxue didn't want to send her young son to study, just as the parents of later generations had to send their children to kindergarten, in addition to work, they must let their children learn to get along with children, even if they cry and scream heartbreakingly, they have to endure it.

Seeing his daughter-in-law nodding slightly, Xu Qingtang said: "When you grow up, you should go outside to study, who is not like this in your father and brother?" So you're no exception. ”

Xu Yu was still young, and immediately cried with a sad face, finally Mu Ningxue doted on him, and he was not like the doting method of the only child in later generations, he was relatively sensible, and finally nodded aggrievedly.

Xiao Shi felt that his heart was about to break, and he couldn't help but complain: "Why bother to go to school at such a young age? Alas, I can understand your painstaking efforts, so be it. ”

Xu Qingtang said with satisfaction: "You have to study hard when you go to school, get up early tomorrow, and as soon as grandpa calls you, you have to come and send you to the school." ”

Xu Yu held his mouth for a long time and didn't agree, and suddenly said unhappily: "I miss my father." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed and laughed: "What a smart brother, you know who to turn to if you are wronged." ”

However, Xu Qingtang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said, "Grandpa is good at talking, and your father has to listen to me." ”

Xu Yu pouted and said, "But grandpa doesn't want me to be with my mother anymore." ”

Xu Qingtang said nonchalantly: "These are two different things, don't you want your mother to be happy?" Although our family can hire a gentleman for you to do the museum, but grandpa also thinks that you should go to the school to adapt to it, there are all your uncles and brothers, in short, this matter is not up to you, so it is decided.
