Back in the house, Eleven Niang told Xu Lingyi: Mr. Hou must make it clear to Master Pang at that time, lest Master Pang does not know the inside story, and Brother Shen will be in trouble because of it.

I will make it clear to Master Pang. Xu Lingyi smiled and asked Brother Jin to come over and talk. Since you have learned from the master, you must learn it well. You can't fish for three days and dry the sun for two days. Otherwise, you will be punished by the master.

It’s a punishment. Brother Jin nodded repeatedly: I will not be punished by the master.

That's good. Xu Lingyi smiled and said, you have to remember your words.

Brother Jin nodded with a smile and ran to Eleven's mother who was sitting on the kang sorting out some scraps of cloth. "Mother, mother, do you want to make a schoolbag for seventh brother?"

Yes, Eleven Niang smiled and hugged her son onto the kang.

Brother Jin lay on his mother's knees, looking at Eleven Niang with his big phoenix eyes without blinking: Mom, second brother has books there, as well as pens, ink, paper and ghost inkstones. There is also a big tiger carved on the ghost inkstone, and his eyes are so loose.

It's envy.

The inkstone used by Brother Yu was a reward from the second wife. It is a Duan inkstone from the previous dynasty and is very precious.

The eleventh mother couldn't help laughing and pinched her son's nose: Little rascal, my mother has already prepared it for you. As she said that, she took out a boxwood box from the kang next to her that was carved with patterns of fishermen, woodcutter and farmers:

for you

Brother Jin looked at the box and saw that the box was no bigger than Brother Yu's inkstone. He hesitantly opened the box. There were neatly arranged brushes and inkstones inside. The pen tube was made of bamboo, and a monkey holding a peach was carved on it. Monkey

The hair is slender and lifelike; the inkstone is also a monkey, but it is climbing on the inkstone, and the inkstone is carved with a monkey picking up pine nuts under the pine forest to eat. The three things are small, exquisite, cute, and full of fun.

Brother Jin yelled and threw himself into Eleven Niang's arms. Eleven Niang was unprepared and was thrown back by him, almost hitting the Kang table.

Xu Lingyi was quick-sighted, grabbed his son, and shouted: It's almost time to go to school, why are you still so irritable?

It's okay, it's okay. Eleven Niang smiled and helped her son out.

Brother Jin struggled disapprovingly and threw himself into Eleven Niang's arms: Mom, these are all for me.

Yes, Eleventh Mother is holding her son in her arms. It looks good. My mother specially went to Duobao Pavilion to order it.

The good-looking brother Jin nodded repeatedly and his eyes turned into crescent moons when he smiled. Then he got up from his mother's arms, took the box and slid off the kang. Mom, I'm going to see my seventh brother.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised that it was so late. She looked out the window. Let's go tomorrow.

When you get there, go back. Brother Jin's eyes are shining brightly. I asked Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu to follow. I promise not to mess around.

Eleven Niang suddenly realized.

He didn't want to see Brother Shen, he clearly wanted to show off.

If you want to go, you can just put the box here. Eleven Niang said with a smile, be careful not to break the contents of the box.

She cared about her son's face and did not criticize him.

Brother Jin pouted and rolled his eyes.

Eleven Niang pretended not to see it and called Hongwen to come in: "It's getting late. Master Si Liu should go and wash up."

Hong Min responded and took brother Jin's hand.

Brother Jin pulled his head and followed Hongwen.

Eleven Niang laughed.

If he is allowed to go, Brother Shen will definitely be slanderous, and the fifth lady will not be able to live in peace tonight.

She packed away the scraps of cloth on the Kang table: Lord Marquis, I also ask you to wash up.

No need. Xu Lingyi sat down opposite his wife and just asked the maid to come in.

The eleventh mother calls her little maid.

Xu Lingyi told her about Brother Jin's schooling: Don't just feel sorry for your child when the time comes. If it's hot, you won't go. If it's cold, it'll be windy and rainy, and even if it's windy and rainy, you won't go. It's a bad habit.

, it will be difficult to succeed in anything from now on.

See what the Marquis said. Eleven Niang put the selected pieces of cloth into the small rattan paper aside. Am I that kind of person?

Xu Lingyi smiled and said: Don't get ahead of yourself. Mom is a person with strong opinions, right? My second brother gave up halfway.

Why is it so bad when I haven't seen your second brother? Eleven Niang quarreled with him.

Xu Lingyi was speechless.

Knowing that Eleven Niang gave him a dirty look, I will definitely urge brother Jin to go to school every day. I promise not to delay his studies.

Under the light, she looked sideways, the light was sparkling, like spring water.

Xu Lingyi was moved and shook Eleven Niang's hand.

Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled.

There was an ambiguous atmosphere circulating in the room that made people's hearts beat.

The corners of Xu Lingyi's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to say something, Hong Wen suddenly came from outside the house and exclaimed: "Sixth Young Master, my wife has told you to go back tomorrow."

Eleven Niang was stunned, and Xu Lingyi stepped out of the curtain. When Eleven Niang went out, Xu Lingyi was looking for the child: He must not have left the courtyard. He lit all the lanterns and looked for me carefully.

He stood on the steps with his head held high, his bright eyes as sharp as a falcon. The maids and women around him were either moving stools, holding iron poles for hanging lanterns, or picking up lanterns to shine in the corners of the yard. They were bustling and chaotic.

Hearing the noise, Xu Lingyi turned around and said, "This kid's hands and feet are too fast. When I came, he was gone. His tone was quite helpless."

Hong Wen, who was lighting a lantern at the side, heard this and immediately came over.

Madam, her face turned red and she was about to cry: It’s all my fault that I didn’t hold him back for a moment.

The older Brother Jin gets, the less these maids and women can watch him. She has to help her find a personal servant who can control him. Otherwise, when he arrives in the outer courtyard in a few years, Xu Lingyi will not be able to stare at him all day long.

By then I'm afraid there won't even be anyone to stop him.

I know. Eleven Niang comforted her, but she was also a little helpless. Go and light a lantern.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Lingyi had already taken three steps at a time and stood at the holly tree next to the steps.

Can you come out on your own, or let me carry it out? He smiled and looked at the holly tree trimmed into a hedge.

There was a sound of xxxx, and the flat-mouthed Brother Jin stood up holding the boxwood box, with a few pieces of dead grass hanging on his head.

"How does daddy know I'm here?" he whispered, but his eyes glanced at Eleven Niang timidly.

The courtyard is so big, and the corridor is unobstructed. There is a corridor outside the door. It is impossible for even an adult to run out in such a short time, let alone a child like you. Xu Lingyi did not scold him loudly, but

Patiently and carefully answered Brother Jin's dilemma, you are either hiding in the wing, or hiding in some corner of the yard. If you know that I am looking for you, who would dare to hide you? That is hiding in the courtyard.

There is a corner of the yard. I lit a lantern and the yard was brightly lit. You were wearing a bright red dress, and the red and green shaded you. Naturally, I could find you very quickly.

Brother Jin lowered his head and stared at the silk crane cloak with a big red background and a gourd vase on his body, frowning in annoyance: If I had known this, I would have changed my clothes and come out.

The eleventh mother couldn't laugh or cry.

Hongwen hurriedly took brother Jin out: Mr. Marquis, madam, I took the sixth young master to wash up. He looked like he was afraid that Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang would pursue the matter again, and the big matter was reduced to a trivial matter.

After a while, Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang stopped Hongwen in unison.

The couple couldn't help but look at each other.

In front of so many servants and considering Xu Lingyi's majesty, Eleven Niang took a step back and signaled Xu Lingyi to speak first.

Xu Lingyi took Brother Jin from Hongwen's hand and walked into the house while asking him: If you change your clothes, can you escape? Brother Jin thought for a while: I wear green clothes.

What if we look for it bit by bit? Xu Lingyi went to the inner room.

Eleven Niang followed.

I saw Brother Jin tilting his head and making no sound, but his eyes were shining with stubbornness.

Xu Lingyi sat on the kang near the window and asked Brother Jin to stand in front of him.

Your mother doesn't agree with you going out, but you still insist on going out. Naturally, the maid and mother-in-law will not allow it. You don't use your brain and just rush out like this. He looked at his son indifferently, which really makes me feel uncomfortable.

think

Although he is telling Brother Jin to act decisively when doing things, it sounds like he likes Brother Jin to go against his parents.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but frowned: Mr. Hou interrupted Xu Lingyi's words.

Xu Lingyi didn't even look at her. He raised his hand with a serious expression and made a prohibitive gesture.

Eleven Niang had no choice but to endure what she said in front of her son.

This is not something you can do just by changing into some clothes. Xu Lingyi continued, think about what I said carefully, is this the truth?

Brother Jin pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Xu Lingyi didn't speak either.

The room was quiet and the atmosphere was solemn.

After a while, Brother Jin raised his head: Well, then I slipped out of the back door with a venomous gaze, which seemed very unconfident.

There is a woman on duty at the back door. Xu Lingyi poured cold water on brother Jin's head, not to mention there are red lines following you out the front door or the back door, the result is not the same

Brother Jin perked up and saw a faint smile in his father's eyes.

Then I ran to the yard first, and then slipped to the back door. I didn't feel timid anymore. Brother Jin's mind started spinning quickly. He said loudly, "You all look for me in the front yard, and then I can go out through the back door."

Isn't this a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

Xu Lingyi's few words made Brother Jin think of this idea.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but widen her eyes. Well, parents arguing in front of their children would make the children look very confused, so she held back and didn't speak.

Then you have to be faster than me. Xu Lingyi could no longer hold back his joy, and the smile overflowed from his eyes to his eyebrows.

Well, then Brother Jin rolled his eyes and thought of countermeasures.

But Xu Lingyi scolded: Don't look around. If others see your eyes rolling, they will know that you are thinking about something in your heart. By then, others will see you clearly, but you will know nothing about others. You will suffer a big loss.

of

Brother Jin made a busy sound, and his eyes immediately settled down.

Xu Lingyi nodded with satisfaction.

Brother Jin's expression became even more relaxed.

Then I'll sneak out of the Nuan Pavilion while Hong Wen goes to fetch water. If you look for it in the front yard, I'll go through the back door. If you look for it in the backyard, I'll go through the front door. By the time you find out, I'll have already ran out.
