The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

After Uncle Xu discussed with Mrs. Xu, it was finally decided that Uncle Xu would write a letter to Mr. Ji, asking Mr. Ji to find a good gentleman to come back and teach the children.

In this letter, I also attached Brother Heng's homework, a few pages written by Brother Heng and two poems written by Brother Heng, in order to prove that Brother Heng is worthy of great use.

Xu Qilang is ten years old, more than two years older than Brother Heng, and also much stronger than Brother Heng.

Compared with brother Heng's brother Yuxue, who is as cute as a snow doll, he is not so white, but he also has a pair of red phoenix eyes that are bright and clever, very cute.

The Peach Blossom Villa where Mrs. Xu and Brother Heng live is at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by the farm property that Mrs. Xu used as a dowry. The villa is a big house, and the Yinghong Garden attached to it is not small, with dozens of plants planted Peach trees, rockery pools, curved corridors and pavilions, all reveal the exquisite beauty of Jiangnan.

Brother Heng is not a fun-loving person, but Xu Qilang is lively and active. When he entered Yinghong Garden with Brother Heng, he said, "Last year was summer, and the peaches on the peach trees were ripe. Climbing on the peach tree Eating peaches is much more delicious than sitting in the living room. It’s spring now, and the flowers haven’t fallen yet.”

Xu Qilang was straightforward, and Brother Heng liked him very much, so he said, "Although there are no peaches to eat now, there are a few cherry trees in Liufangqu, and some early cherries are already ripe."

Hearing that there were cherries, Xu Qilang became interested, "Then let's go and pick some. It's still early, so the cherries must be sour, but I remember my aunt There has always been rose syrup here, and I chilled the cherries first, and then poured the rose syrup on top, that taste, Brother Heng, have you ever eaten it before?"

Xu Qilang was only nine or ten years old, and when he talked about food, he beamed with joy, and it was very vivid, which made Brother Heng find it funny, so he replied, "With you as my cousin, I haven't tasted anything. You didn't like this last year." Have you ever made watermelon and cantaloupe?"

Xu Qilang smiled and nodded, "Yes."

As he said, he took Brother Heng's hand and went to Liufangqu. He is probably more familiar with the layout of this garden than Brother Heng. Except for being active when he was in the womb, Brother Heng has always been a quiet person since he was born. Xu Qilang even laughed at him, "My younger sisters are not as quiet as you. If you are a girl, brother Heng, I will let my parents Come to propose marriage, you will marry me."

Brother Heng naturally smiled, calmly, and returned to him lightly, "If I'm really a girl, you can't do it if you don't marry a general who doesn't expand the territory and seal the land."

Xu Qilang was a boy raised in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't have the lofty ambition to kill the enemy on the battlefield and expand the territory, so he smiled embarrassedly on the spot.

Arriving at Liufang Canal, Xu Qilang saw that the cherries next to the canal were indeed covered with green leaves. Among the green leaves, the cherries on the sunny branches were already ripe, while the other places were still green and green. Green and dripping, very cute.

These cherry trees were planted when the garden was repaired. It has been more than ten years. The branches are not very thick, but they can bear the weight of a child.

Xu Qilang tied the hem of his clothes to his belt and was about to climb a tree. The mother who followed hurriedly said, "Master Biao, don't climb a tree. If you fall down, what will happen. If you want to pick cherries, let the old woman go." Pick it up."

Xu Qilang didn't take it seriously, "I can fall anywhere."

Brother Heng felt that when Xu Qilang was at home, there were as many as four or five maids around him, and he was never allowed to do anything out of line, but Xu Qilang was still a child, how could he not be allowed to play? , so every time he was with Xu Qilang, he would never persuade Xu Qilang to behave.

Brother Heng then said to the maidservant, "Last year he climbed the peach tree very neatly, so it's going to be all right, don't worry."

He also called a little servant girl, "Dye Yu, bring two handkerchiefs and pick up the cherries that cousin Seven picked."

Brother Heng is only seven or eight years old, but the maidservant can't treat him as a child who doesn't understand anything. Whatever he says, the maidservant has no choice but to respond.

Xu Qilang moved neatly, climbed up the tree without much effort, picked a lot of cherries and jumped down from the tree, Brother Heng said to him, "You are so neat, you are almost like a monkey."

Xu Qilang said, "Why don't you and I go to my house and let mother invite a juggling troupe to come home and show you the monkey show, that would be really good."

Brother Heng said, "No, I'm not interested in that, besides, I have to study."

Xu Qilang let the servant girl pat the stains on his clothes for him, and stared at Brother Heng with star-bright eyes, "You always say you want to study, so what if you delay for a few days."

Brother Heng said, "If you don't accumulate steps, you won't reach thousands of miles. If you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be able to form rivers and seas. It can be seen that it is better not to waste a little bit of time."

Xu Qilang pouted, "I think you're going to be a little old man."

After talking about Brother Heng, he told the maids who had finished picking up the cherries to take the cherries, freeze them and pour rose syrup on them, and send them to Mrs. Xu first, and then he and Brother Heng went to eat.

Brother Heng said to him, "You know how to please my mother."

Xu Qilang grinned, and came up to brother Heng again, saying, "Father means that I want me to study with you in the future, I'm afraid I will come to study at your house, brother Heng, how about I live with you in the future. "

Although Xu Qilang was more than two years older than Brother Heng, he didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Brother Heng, and even talked to him carefully to ask for opinions in many cases.

Hearing what he said, Brother Heng knew Uncle Xu's intention for coming to their Zhuangzi. Brother Heng himself told Xu that he hoped to have a better teacher to teach him, not the sour Mr. Zhu Xu will probably take this opportunity to directly tell his father, Mr. Ji in Beijing, that he hopes that Mr. Ji will invite a good gentleman to teach him.

Among them, there are naturally several layers of meaning.

Mr. Ji is in Beijing, and there are many women around him, but in the past few years, except for the newly mentioned sixth aunt who gave birth to a daughter, he has nothing to do. It must be said that Mr. Ji is also in his forties. In ancient times, medical conditions were very poor. Under the worst circumstances, fertility is already very low in the 40s, and the probability of having another son is very small, so even if he really doesn't want to face the problem of Ji Heng, who was born by his wife Xu, he still has to think about it .

Xu Shi wrote to Beijing to ask him to invite his wife, just to want him to face Ji Heng seriously.

Ji Heng has always been very competitive, because there is a soul in his twenties inside, so he has read the four books and five classics at a young age, and he is called a child prodigy. It is only because the Xu family rarely lets him go out that he has no talent. Far broadcast.

Under such circumstances, Lord Ji would probably want to treat Ji Heng as the eldest son. It would be the best if he could be accepted into Beijing. It is hoped that Ji Heng will become his son.

For Ji Heng, he must be Ji's eldest son.

In other words, if he was treated as a woman, life would be too difficult in this age. Moreover, he was full of pride and ambition, and he had to be a man.

That's why he studied so hard.

Brother Heng smiled flatteringly at Xu Qilang, but replied indifferently, "If you come to my house, mother will arrange a place for you, so you can rest assured."

Xu Qilang said dissatisfiedly, "Let me live with you, so what." With some complaints already, Brother Heng said, "I'm not used to sleeping with other people, even maids and mothers don't wait in the room. , let alone you."

Xu Qilang said, "Then you're saying that I'm no better than maids and mothers."

Mother Dong, who was serving the two of them, smiled and said, "Master Biao and Brother Heng are naturally much closer than us."

Xu Qilang snorted with a smile, and stopped entangled with it.

When they went back to the main courtyard, the cherries had been processed, so Xu Qilang went to Mrs. Xu and said, "Auntie, I picked these cherries, are they edible?"

Xu said, "What will happen if you fall down from climbing a tree? Don't be so ignorant in the future."

Xu Qilang pouted, "I'm not Brother Heng, climbing trees is not difficult for me."

Brother Heng sat next to Mrs. Xu, "There is a specialization in art, so you should specialize in tree climbing."

His words made Mrs. Xu and Uncle Xu amused. Uncle Xu stared at Brother Heng. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that Brother Heng was good-looking. Already with a romantic, indifferent and elegant, people forget the vulgarity at first sight.

Uncle Xu said, "Da Chuan, look, you are two years older than Brother Heng, but not half as stable as him."

Xu Qilang didn't take it seriously, "Brother Heng looks like a girl, but I don't look like one."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Xu's expression was strange, Brother Heng's eyes were also darkened, and Uncle Xu felt the atmosphere changed, so he hurriedly said to his son, "What girl, you will talk nonsense in the future."

Xu Qilang didn't know what he said wrong, but seeing his father angry, he had to stop talking.

After lunch, Uncle Xu was about to take Xu Qilang back, but Xu Qilang was not willing to go back, "Father, just let me stay at my aunt's house for a few more days, so that I can be filial in front of my aunt."

Uncle Xu said cheerfully, "You can talk. You are in front of your aunt. It's good not to let her worry about it. You will be filial?"

The Xu family kept Xu Qilang, "Let Qilang live in Zhuangzi for a few days. I will go to the city in a few days to visit the elder brother's house, and I will take him back along the way."

Xu Qilang then said happily, "That's the way to do it, my nephew thanked my aunt."

Uncle Xu is a kind businessman. He usually smiles when he sees people, and he is strict with his son when he should be strict. He is usually very kind, so his son is not afraid of him very much. Cousin, take a good look at how Brother Heng studies, you also have to change your habit of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days."

In this regard, Xu Qilang stayed.

Uncle Xu only has one direct sister, Xu Shi, and three other younger brothers. The family was separated after his father passed away in his early years, and the younger sisters also married early.

The relationship between Uncle Xu and Xu's is naturally the best.

Uncle Xu also relied on his brother-in-law Lord Ji to be an official in the court, so that his business became smoother and smoother, and he was never stingy with his younger sister Xu.
