happy rebirth

Ke Qi didn't move his chopsticks, but slowly gnawed on a large piece of bread.He was still in the period of filial piety, and when he took a bite of the pancake, he told himself that it was mutton.After taking another bite of the cake, I told myself that it was beef.It is not advisable to deceive oneself and others, Ke Qi lost his concentration.

Xie Jinhua realized that his brothers couldn't understand what he was talking about, after all, none of them had washed clothes by themselves.Maybe they still feel very strange in their hearts, aren't flour and salt used for eating, how can they be used for washing clothes?So, Xie Jinhua looked at Ke Qi.

The eyes of the brothers also fell on Ke Qi.

Ke Qi quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, and said, "I didn't teach it!"

There is really no silver 300 taels here.

Xie Da looked at Ke Qi expressionlessly.For some reason, Ke Qi looked at him like this and thought of those wicked mother-in-laws in his hometown before crossing.There is an evil mother-in-law in the family behind his house, who is reluctant to let her son do any work, and treats her daughter-in-law as an animal.When Xiao Keqi was still ignorant about the relationship between the sexes, he only felt that the daughter-in-law there was very pitiful, and then secretly swore in his heart that he would never marry when he grew up!

One of the catchphrases of the evil mother-in-law: Let men do all the work, what's the use of marrying you in our family!

Ke Qi quickly changed his words and said more specifically: "I taught it. But what brother Xie said just now, I really didn't teach it." In the academy, they only need to wash their own clothes.The underwear that is changed every day is really not dirty, so I don't need those special decontamination techniques.

Xie Jinhua nodded and said, "It wasn't Ke Qi who taught me."

Xie Dake gave a dispensable "hmm" and didn't say he believed it or said he didn't believe it.

Evil mother-in-law mantra [-]: Do not speak to your daughter-in-law!You are my son, I know what kind of shit you are going to do even if you poke your ass.

Xie Jinhua had no idea what Ke Qi had come up with, and said to Ke Qi: "When I went back to Brother Zhengping's house last time, an elder of him specially came over to cook for us. These skills are all from that elder. It's a pity that I haven't found an opportunity to practice and verify it."

"Fourth brother is really knowledgeable. He is willing to learn a little about everything." Xie San laughed twice, probably wanting to smooth things over.

However, Xie Da, who everyone thought he was angry, was not really angry at all.Because he believed in two things.Firstly, Ke Qi would not intentionally bully Xie Jinhua.Second, Xie Jinhua will not be so stupid as to be bullied by Ke Qi.So, maybe the two kids just think they found something fun!

It's just that Xie is very puzzled, what's so interesting about doing laundry?

Ke Qi honestly expressed his concerns. He felt that it was not good to wash underwear with other people's clothes.After learning that Xie Jinhua needed to wash his own middle clothes in the academy, Xie Er wondered if he should buy a handyman, and he didn't need him to do anything else, as long as he could take out his brothers' middle clothes and wash them separately.Xie San felt that it was a good thing that he was not as good as his fourth brother, and that he didn't have to go to the academy to study. How can people live a life like this?

But Xie Da said: "These things... you know a little bit. If Ke Qi gets a Jinshi and is released as an official in the future, Xiao Si will definitely go with him. Although he can bring his servants when he goes to office, his life will definitely be worse than Beijing's. It’s better to be bitter in Zhongqing. If you suffer a little bit now, you will get used to it then.”

The label of the wicked mother-in-law was torn to pieces. It was clear that the mother-in-law was always more satisfied with her son-in-law.

This is the first time that Xie Da has spoken frankly about his arrangements for Ke Qi's future.He must be very optimistic about Ke Qi.Because according to the official promotion practice of the An Dynasty, at this time, there are not only the sayings that non-Hanlin will not join the cabinet, but also the saying that Lizhou and counties will not be drafted as Taiwan provinces.If you want to enter the top power center, you must have an external experience.Xie Da has not advanced to the next level in these years because he has never left the capital.

However, Xie Da could not leave Beijing easily.His younger brothers hadn't grown up yet, so he couldn't worry about the whole Qingyang Hou Mansion at all.

How many years does it take for Ke Qi to grow up?Is six years enough?It doesn't matter how much benefit the young Ke Qi will bring to the Xie Mansion, as long as he can take care of the Xie Mansion to avoid all kinds of calculations.By then, if Xie Da can be released for three to five years, he will still be under 50 years old.Although the average life expectancy is not high at this time, the average life expectancy of the upper class is much higher than that of ordinary people. Even if Xie Da can only live to be 60 years old, he can still fight for another 15 years.

In short, everything needs Ke Qi to grow up.

After dinner, it was dark.The three elder brothers rested in the grass garden.

Xie Er and Xie San went back to the house to rest, but Xie Da deliberately went to Jida's residence, as if he had something to say to Jida.

Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi also went back to their yard together.

After a hot pot meal, Xie Jinhua's whole body smelled of meat.Ke Qi, who was struggling to keep his filial piety, came to Xie Jinhua's side, put his chin on his shoulder, faced Xie Jinhua's slender neck, and took two deep breaths.It was as wretched as it could be.

Xie Jinhua was itchy from Ke Qi's snort, pushed Ke Qi, and said, "Don't make trouble, I'm going to take a bath."

Ke Qi looked at Xie Jinhua like a resentful woman.Smell it for a while!Smell it for a while!

Xie Jinhua tentatively asked: "You...do you want to wash with me?"

In the end, of course, each washed his own.

On the second day, just after dawn, a steward from Xie's residence rushed to Wencaoyuan.Xie Jinhua hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to the living room. He thought it was Lord Xie who had some orders, or that there was an important matter in the mansion that needed to be decided by the eldest brother, but he did not expect that he came to deliver good news to Second Xie.

The new daughter-in-law Zhuang is pregnant!

Xie Er was stunned for a while, then pulled the people around him into his arms, and said excitedly, "I'm going to be a father!"

Xie San, who was hugged by Xie Er, felt happy for Xie Er, and said: "Congratulations, second brother!"

"I'm going to be a father!" Xie Er said excitedly.

"Congratulations, congratulations! It's really... well, cough. Second brother, let go of me, cough cough." Xie San was so strangled by Xie Er that he could hardly breathe.

"I'm going to be a father!" Xie Er was still repeating his joy, and all his usual stability disappeared.

"Okay, keep holding me, I'm in a hurry! You are a father, but I'm not your child's mother!" Xie San beat Xie Er's back hard, "If you take your son's Uncle is strangled, where are you going to find another good uncle like me for your son! Can you afford it! Don't look at the fourth brother, just think about Kedi, you should know, if your son falls into the hands of the fourth brother Li... tsk tsk, there is no lack of homework in this life."

This is indeed good news, Xie Dadu couldn't help laughing.He always teaches his younger brother generously, but he is not a "strict father" or a "loving mother", he is more like a "strict mother".No matter how harsh he is to his younger brothers, there is always a small soft spot deep in his heart.

The fourth generation of the Xie family is pregnant in the belly of the Zhuang family, which means that a family has passed on.

Xie Er let go of Xie San, who was still laughing foolishly.Xie San pushed Xie Jinhua into Xie Er's arms, intending to let the two married people share the joy with each other.Xie San was indeed happy for Xie Er, but his second sister-in-law was pregnant, and he knew that his mother would definitely urge him to get married as soon as possible.

Xie San felt bitter, so Xie San didn't say anything.

"Speaking of which, if Brother Ke is a girl, if the fourth brother works harder, maybe your child is about to come to fruition." Xie San said.Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi were married in March, and now it is December, if they can conceive on the day of the bridal chamber, they will have a child immediately!

"Impossible!" Ke Qi said.First, if the assumption is not true, he and Xie Jinhua are both men; second, Xie Jinhua's physical condition at that time made it impossible for him to consummate the marriage; third, Ke Qi needs to be filial; fourth, even if the first three do not exist, there is still A three-year starting maximum death penalty ah!

Xie Er patted Xie Jinhua on the shoulder, and said generously: "You are still young, don't think about it. My son can just lend you a hug."

Well, let's start showing off!

Xie Jinhua first congratulated the second brother sincerely, and then said seriously: "Actually, Brother Ke and I can have our own children."

There are no test-tube babies and surrogacy in this era, so Xie Jinhua couldn't be trying to take a concubine, right?I've been thinking about taking a concubine since I was only so old!Ke Qi thought to himself, if he closed the door and spanked Xie Jinhua on the bed, he wondered if Brother Xie would put the words "evil mother-in-law" on his forehead again.

In fact, Xie Jinhua didn't have the slightest expectation for the child, he thought he was just stating the facts.

"There is a kind of gourd. The body of the gourd is golden, the handle of the gourd is jade-colored, and there are seven leaves of the gourd, each of which is different in color. If you plant this gourd in the soil, you only need to take good care of it for a year with my brother Ke, and the gourd vine will grow. You will be able to bear children on the ground.” Xie Jinhua said distressedly, “It’s just that this kind of gourd is not easy to get. It is said that there is an island in the south, and there are immortals on the island. where."

Ke Qi originally thought that Xie Jinhua was joking.Hearing this, he felt something was wrong, Xie Jinhua wouldn't really believe this, would he?

Why would a person familiar with medical books believe this kind of story? !

Ke Qi immediately thought of those intellectuals in later generations who were brainwashed by cults or deceived by scams like "I am Emperor Qianlong".Ke Qi still remembers that there was a special grade teacher in their town who worked in a high school.

"So, all you need to do is find the divine bird. Sincerity leads to success." Xie Jinhua concluded.

The divine bird and the gourd, this was the bedtime story Xie Da told Xie Jinhua when he was very young.Xie Jinhua was born prematurely, and his body has never been particularly healthy. He was more likely to get sick when he was a child, and sometimes he couldn't sleep well all night. Xie Da coaxed him for a few nights at that time.Unexpectedly, Xie Jinhua remembered all these bedtime stories in his heart, and out of blind trust in his elder brother, he took the stories as facts!

Xie Da couldn't laugh or cry.However, because of this trust, deep in his heart he felt a little bit of comfort that could not be humane.

However, children should not be allowed to misunderstand any longer.

The eldest brother felt that it was necessary to correct Xiaosi's wrong point of view, but he didn't know what to say in Xie Jinhua's expectant eyes.He and Ke Qi exchanged eye contact a few times. One thought that popularizing physiological science is the job of parents, while the other felt that it should be done by the person next to him.

"Brother Ke, what do you think?" Xie Jinhua asked.

Bearing the expectations of his brothers, Ke Qi said earnestly: "I don't think so. Brother Xie, you don't know that after the crops are planted in the field, they need to be fertilized. If they don't fertilize, they won't grow well. It's the same with this gourd. So, if we really grow a child from a gourd, the son is fine, but if it is a fragrant and soft girl, how should we tell her the truth in the future, she was raised by a handful of shit and urine?"

Xie Jinhua was stunned.This is really too unfriendly for children, right?

The three elder brothers just watched Xie Jinhua being persuaded.

Xie Da: "..."

Xie Er: "..."

Xie San: "..."

talent!How can there be someone in this world who tells lies so beautifully and refinedly?There is really no affectation at all!
