When I woke up, I was fine

When it came to finding teachers for his two younger brothers, Li Jiancheng had someone call them over.

Before Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji came, Li Xiuxiu and Li Jiancheng talked about this pharmacist Li.

Li Xiuxiu was a little worried that the young man was full of anger. He was afraid that if the two younger brothers were mischievous, would they beat and scold them frequently?I also heard that this is Han Qinhu's nephew, Han Qinhu and Shi Wansui are both famous generals in the world.Li Xiuxiu had also heard about the reputations of these people. In her imagination, this Mr. Li should be a very burly and strong man, so she felt a little uneasy at this moment.

"Big brother definitely has the ability to be optimistic about people, but I'm worried that the two younger brothers will be too naughty and make people angry... Otherwise, I will hide in a while and see if the two younger brothers are obedient."

Li Xiuxiu still wanted to see if that pharmacist Li had patience. If he was impatient, he might not be able to teach his two younger brothers well.At that time, I will persuade my elder brother, and then think of other ways to find masters for the two younger brothers again.

This was not a big deal at first, Li Jiancheng nodded, let Li Xiuxiu hide in the next room, and waited in the hall by himself.

After a while, Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji came over.

Li Yuanba is as long as there is something to eat and play. Li Yuanji has been smart since he was a child. Since he came to Luoyang, he found that his life is different from his previous life. There are delicious and fun things to eat and play when he wants. What, moreover, the servant girl who served him was ingenious, and she had already made several cloth tigers for herself.

He used to know some rules when he was in front of his father, but when he came to Luoyang, he didn't have to follow the rules anymore, he was happy here.

Children are particularly sensitive, knowing that the whole family listens to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother loves himself very much.So when he heard Li Jiancheng calling, he ran over with his short legs and didn't need to be hugged. After seeing Li Jiancheng, he called "Big Brother" from a distance, with a sweet and greasy voice.He ran over with these two short legs thumping all the way.

After running in, he threw himself into Li Jiancheng's arms, his little face was full of joy. "What's the matter with Big Brother calling me and Third Brother?"

Who doesn't love such a little guy?

Li Jiancheng patted his brother's little head lovingly.

"A good friend will come over later. You should worship him as your teacher and study with him. You must be well-behaved. If you let me know that you are mischievous, you will be taken care of by family law." Li Yuanba didn't want to study, so he hurried to the side and shook his head. "I don't read, I don't read. They all say I'm stupid, and I can't learn, so I don't want to read."

After Li Jiancheng heard this, his face immediately sank. "Who said that? Why don't you study when you're so smart? My elder brother thinks you're smart, and your sister thinks you're smart too. Whoever said you're stupid, and no one in your family said you were stupid, why did you believe it?"

Li Yuanji saw that the elder brother was angry, so he quickly pulled the elder brother's clothes, "Those people said it in front of the third brother, don't worry, the elder brother, I will study with the third brother in the future, and I will teach the third brother whatever I learn. "

Li Jiancheng touched Li Yuanji's small head with one hand, and stretched out his other hand to pull Li Yuanba.

"Those people outside bully us as motherless children. Their purpose of saying this is to make you feel stupid. As long as you feel stupid, you will not want to study. If you don't study, you will be worthless. Those people’s wishes have been fulfilled. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your sister-in-law and your sister, or you can write to your second brother to see who won’t let you study.”

Li Yuanba was still a little unhappy, drooping his head.

Li Yuanji quickly put his head in Li Jiancheng's arms, "Don't worry, brother, we two must study hard."

Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, patted the side and pulled Li Yuanba to sit down.

"The Chinese New Year will be in a while, and you can rest after reading the Chinese New Year. In addition to letting you learn from teachers today, I also want to ask you what you want for the Chinese New Year. Brother, I will buy it for you."

At this time, Li Yuanba suddenly revived with full blood, "I want a big hammer, the one at home is too light."

Li Jiancheng choked for a moment, but still fulfilled his younger brother's wish, "Okay, big brother will find you when the time comes."

Li Yuanji's small mouth is very flattering, "I will take whatever my brother gives me. Everything my brother gives me is good stuff."

At this moment, Li Jiancheng felt that Li Yuanji was really a clever little ghost, so he reached out and tapped the tip of his nose, and then he heard the servant outside saying that Mr. Li had come.

Li Jiancheng stood up quickly, and pulled his two younger brothers to the door to greet him.

Li Xiuxiu cheered up at this moment, looked out from the crack of the door, and saw a handsome young man walking in from the outside.

Li Jiancheng hurried up to say hello, and then pulled his two younger brothers forward to speak.

Li Yuanba was still awkward at this time, because the distance was relatively far, Li Xiuxiu couldn't hear what they said, and could only see Li Yuanba shaking his head vigorously.When the eldest brother pulled him, he took a few steps back.

The elder brother shook his head and sighed, pulled Li Yuanji, and bowed to the young man.And the young man was not angry, he stretched out his hand and patted Li Yuanba's shoulder, Li Yuanba seemed to have regretted half of it suddenly, and followed Li Yuanji to worship.

Li Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, so she stopped staying in this room and went out through another door to look for Cao Qiang in the backyard.

Seeing Li Xiuxiu approaching, Cao Qian put down the pen in his hand and couldn't help complaining. "Where have you been? I've sent several groups of people to look for you, but they haven't found you. Come here, it's getting colder and the Chinese New Year is approaching. I have a lot of work to do, and I need your help." Woolen cloth."

After Cao Qian finished speaking, he lowered his head again, flipped through an account book and handed it to Xiuxiu. "Look at this book. This is the booklet for gift giving in the past few years. I will prepare gifts again soon. What should I give this year? What should I give? The things that made my head big."

Li Xiuxiu quickly made a complaint, sat next to Cao Li, took the booklet with both hands and flipped through it, and found that it was all written by Mrs. Dou, her nose felt a little sour, and her eyes were already moist.

She pretended to be casual, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and flipped through the account books.

Then he looked up at Cao Yang, who was biting his pen holder, looking very embarrassed.

"What is my sister-in-law preparing? She looks a little hesitant."

"It's not about sending things to Shimin and Guanyin's maid. Your elder brother told me when he got up this morning that he must pick some affordable things that the two of them can use. He is relaxed , two mouths touch, I am so busy here that I am dizzy."

After finishing speaking, he handed the list to Li Xiuxiu, "It just so happens that you are here too, can you help me figure out if there is anything missing? I happened to get a white bear skin a few days ago. Someone will give it to your second sister-in-law Send it over. Your second brother is fond of calligraphy and painting, so I added a few copies for him. I thought the two of them probably didn’t have much money on hand, so I asked someone to send them some money. It’s not very good, we need to pack more herbs.”

Li Xiuxiu looked at the list and felt that it was already in place, and there was no need to add anything to it.

"Brother is supporting the three of us now, and he doesn't have much change on hand, which is enough."

Cao Qian took the list back, "Don't you know about your elder brother? It's okay for him to suffer a little bit. You guys must not suffer. Your suffering will make him more uncomfortable than his suffering."

Speaking of this, he also sighed, "I don't know how your second sister-in-law is doing. I heard people say that people with shortness of breath are afraid of cold weather, and when it's cold, they are prone to illness."

After sorting out the things that were sent to Jinyang for Li Shimin and his wife, they had to get some more things to send to Li Yuan.

It's not something Li Yuan can get rid of with just one or two things.Cao Li took another piece of paper and said, "Let me ask you, how many people are there in the backyard and how many hills? One radish and one hole, I always need to know how many holes I need to send radishes to fill. Otherwise Don't know what these people say about us in front of daddy?"

Li Xiuxiu was a little annoyed after hearing Cao Qiang's question, "I used to hear the servants say that they would rather follow a beggar's mother than an official's father, and now I finally understand what this sentence means."

Li Xiuxiu really didn't want her eldest brother and sister-in-law to deliver things to her father.There is no shortage of father's place, unlike the second brother and second sister-in-law who are struggling outside, nor is it like the eldest brother who has to lead the way in order to get a little money.

Thinking of this, I said to Cao Li, "Brother here can only receive some salary every month. If a lot of money is sent over there, or some good things are sent over there, what does daddy think? What do the women think? Otherwise, my sister-in-law can send some bad things over there, so that I can cry poorly to my father, and secondly, it will save people from thinking about us."

Cao Yang nodded, Li Xiuxiu's temper was quite to his liking.He threw down the blank paper, and asked the maids around him to pack up the handmade work, such as some shoes, clothes, purses, etc., and send them to Li Yuan.

After finishing these matters, Cao Li finally felt a little relieved.

"Are the maidservants I lent you a while ago still by your side? I've thought about it. It's colder now. Although your brother is going hunting in the name of going out every day, you know what he's doing and I know what he's doing. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen meat at home, and he didn’t say he would bring back some wild game. How about the two of us take people out and catch some pheasants and wild boars and come back to eat meat.”

Although Cao Qian said so, it is true that there is no meat in the family.Just like Li Yuanba, a snack foodie, if he doesn't have meat, he will definitely not be happy.

The reason why Cao Li said that was because he wanted to go out and play for a while.

Li Xiuxiu thought about it, she could ride a horse, and her two younger brothers wanted to study with her husband, so she and her sister-in-law had nothing to do, so why not go out with the maid to ride a horse and hunt together, both for fun and for something to gain.

"Sister-in-law's idea is good, so when do you think it's suitable for us to go out?"

"We are idle at home and have nothing to do. Let me explain tomorrow. You pack up your clothes today and bring the things you should bring. Don't worry about bows and arrows. I have them here. We have a lot of maidservants, hundreds of Individuals can still be found, and most of them can ride horses. When they came to Luoyang from Chang’an, they came here on horses and donkeys. When the time comes, we will go out together, split half of the people, and see who gets the most things.”
