The husband's son-in-law

At this time in mid-July, there are distinguished guests from Li Mansion.

Sun Mubaiyin and Sun Mubaiyin brought two old servants to Li's Mansion and saw Fu Bao's paintings, they were silent for a while, Li Zhouzhou wanted to say something several times, and finally looked at Fu Bao's bright and happy little eyes , and finally swallowed the words back.

Presumably the teacher and his wife thought the same way as him.

Fortunately, the main bedroom and main room in the courtyard were tidied up, so Li Zhouzhou sent his teacher and wife to rest, wash and eat.Fu Bao has just been praised, walking beside him is light on his feet, and his mouth is full of fourth grandma, wanting to hear fourth grandma talk about painting.

"Fubao let Master, Grandpa and Grandma rest first." Li Zhouzhou said.

Sun Mu waved her hands meaning nothing, but Bai Yin said, "I see that Fu Bao is cute, and he didn't bother us." But when she thought of the 'painting' on the wall, she paused and said, "I'll pack it up later. Now, let’s talk about painting with Fu Bao.”

"Okay." Fu Bao also agreed happily.

Sun Mu coaxed: "Didn't you make an appointment with your seventeenth nephew? Hurry up, your fourth grandma and I won't be able to leave for a while."

Only then did Fu Bao respond, and he bowed calmly and retreated. He just came out of the main room door, and was already jumping happily before reaching the gate of the courtyard. He even called Aji: "Hurry up, take my little white flower Bring me here, I want to tell Seventeen that I am really good at drawing~"

The ending sound is flying.

Li Zhouzhou in the main room: ...

He might as well go.

"You go, our husband and wife are staying here, don't be in a hurry." Sun Mu said to Li Zhou thoughtfully.

Li Zhouzhou should be right, wanted to say a few polite words to save Fu Bao's face, but thought it was better not to say anything, just said: "Okay, if there is anything missing, teacher and wife, just ask." Then he bowed and left.

As soon as he left, this house was Sun Mutong's old wife Bai Yin.

"Stay for a few more days."

Bai Yindang didn't see the smile on the old man's face, she nodded and said: "Of course, I accepted Fubao."

When he came to Zhaozhou this time, Sun Mu also received a letter from Gu Zhaozhou in Zhaozhou. The letter said that when he was in Beijing that day, he gave lectures to ruin the reputation of the second prince. In other words, now that Rong Ye is recuperating at his residence in Zhaozhou, he took the initiative to talk about all the things before.

After reading the letter, Sun Mu's heart was at peace, and there was no turmoil in the past, but he still persuaded his wife to go to Zhaozhou. Mingyuan's death had been going on for so many years, and even the disciples who were far away in Zhaozhou were afraid of him being sad when they heard about it. I wrote a lot of jokes, and I thought about it when I came to this matter.

It's time to stop.

So Sun Mu and Bai Yin set off to Zhaozhou. The couple originally wanted to settle the matter and settle their knots. They stayed in Zhaozhou for two or three months and went to schools to give lectures. The slowest was at the end of the year. go back.

But in Zhaozhou, it is different now.

After the couple washed up, they found that there was a basin of ice in the main room, which made it much cooler. After eating, they became drowsy and tired. The two slept in separate rooms. They had developed a habit over the years and went back to their respective rooms. .

After waking up again, Yu Hui landed on the ground.

After a good night's sleep, the husband and wife became much more energetic, and it took only a few minutes to clean up. Li Zhouzhou brought Fubao to invite the teacher and wife to the backyard for dinner.

Settled in a hurry at noon, Li Da had the habit of taking a nap, and the guests were tired and on their way, so it was not easy to be courteous directly, so Li Zhouzhou thought about the introduction in the afternoon, as a formality.

The young children from the mansion also arrived, Su Jiayu from the stewed shop outside, Brother Lin and Liu Tao from Xiaoyu's grocery store, and Wang Jian and Su Shiyi who were watching the shipment outside, Meng Jianyun was not here, some time ago I went to Sow Lin, Annan is gone.

Now when I meet someone, it is natural to introduce and call someone, and then sit down.

Li Da has not changed much in recent years. He doesn't like socializing, so he often stays lazy. He likes to talk to the mules and sheep in the stables in the backyard, or to dig two hoes in the vegetable field, which makes him happy and at ease.But now facing Sun Mu and Bai Yin, it is very solemn.

This is Zhao'er's teacher, a benefactor who has performed the teacher's ceremony.

It is convenient to ship goods every week, and that is because of the relationship with Senior Brother Liang.

Li Da respects scholars, not to mention such a powerful Mr. Sun, he has a stupid mouth and short words, but his feelings are simple and sincere.When Sun Mu saw it, he smiled and said, "Master, Master, I'm Ziqing's half-father, and we are also a family. Don't my in-laws mind?"

"That's nature, it's nature." Li Da said immediately.

Sun Mu laughed again and said, "It's only natural for Fubao to call me Fourth Grandpa."

"Natural nature."

"We are a family now, so you don't need to be polite." Sun Mu said.

Li Da is impolite, he doesn’t know how to talk about poetry and painting, so he invites guests to dine and eat chicken, “This coconut chicken is what Zhaoer said he wanted to eat. It didn’t exist in Zhaozhou before, but then the cook made it out. .”

"Fourth grandma is delicious, you can drink soup, the meat is tender and tender." Fu Bao sat next to fourth grandma, his mouth was so sweet that he even wanted to serve fourth grandma a bowl.

Bai Yin cherished it, so she said to give it a try.

Fu Bao was eager to try it, and filled a small bowl with his own hands, "Fourth Grandma, be careful."

Bai Yin softened her heart, patted Fu Bao's head, and agreed.

Li Manor doesn't get together every day to eat together, usually they eat in their own small courtyards, two or three times a month, so that they can get close to each other, and they are also comfortable and convenient. There are not so many rules when eating on weekdays. Talk, chat and joke on the Internet.

It's normal now, at first it must have been a little more restrained, but after eating and drinking, it's as usual.Li Zhouzhou talked about the long summer in Zhaozhou, and wanted to invite a tailor to tailor clothes for the teacher and his wife, using streamer silk to make it cooler, depending on what color he liked.

Sun Mu said that he didn't feel hot when he was old, and he saw that Li Da was wearing the material. When he asked Li Da, he said that he was going to work in the fields, and it was not suitable to wear streamer silk. It was always scratched and dirty, and the good material was wasted. Made of mixed cotton, it absorbs sweat and is soft, but it is easy to wrinkle and is not decent.

But Sun Mu loved it very much, and said that he would use the ramie cotton instead of making robes, and just dress like Zhaozhou people. I saw it in the city when I came, it was very convenient.

Li Zhouzhou naturally agreed.

Sun Mu was not polite, and Bai Yin didn't shirk it, saying that she would like streamer silk, but the color didn't want to be too bright and delicate.Brother Lin then called his wife, saying that he has many tricks, and if it is convenient, I will send it to you to choose one.

"Okay, thank you." Bai Yin nodded to the little brother with a smile.

There are many brothers in Li's Mansion, some are cute and well-behaved, some have firm eyebrows, and of course there is Fu Bao who is beautiful and smart. Bai Yin's voice is unconsciously kind when talking to her brothers. Brother Lin's grandmother is also enough.

In the next few days, Nali Mansion became more lively.

Brother Lin and Liu Tao went to the front yard to tailor clothes for Mrs. Sun. They went there in the morning with a board of sample cloth, but it didn't take long for them to go to Xiaoyu's grocery store by car.

Then go for it.

The sun set in the afternoon, and Bai Yin came back and put on new clothes. The clothes she was wearing were also made of ramie. They were ready-made clothes from a grocery store. The color was plain. The round neck shirt was plain white, which was the color of ramie itself. The lower skirt is brownish yellow, and the only bright color is probably the half sleeves on top.

She is thin, with white hair, the color of her appearance has faded long ago, her hair is combed into a simple bun, she doesn't like to use jewelry, a wooden hairpin is attached to it, and the clothes on her body are not expensive materials, but she is not a literati with elegant bones demeanor.

Seeing this, the women from Zhaozhou who were shopping in the shop were those enthusiastic and loud voices, and now they have calmed down, not daring to come forward to disturb them, but only envious in their eyes, but unexpectedly, this old lady seemed to be difficult to get along with, and she took the initiative to accompany her. They are talking.

"I came here to buy clothes. I thought ramie was cheaper than streamer silk. I thought it looked really good when you wore it."

"You look really pretty."

After chatting, one of the women said with joy: "My son has an engagement, and he will get married in autumn. I want to come here to buy some good materials and send them to the woman's home. The woman works in the factory. .”

This is showing off that the new daughter-in-law is a worker.

Others naturally praised her, saying that she had found a good daughter-in-law.Bai Yin was listening. The women in Zhaozhou like to talk about the girls who work in the factory. They are envious when they mention it. They also like to talk about the girls who go to school. .

The positive outlook on the faces of the people in Zhaozhou did not change overnight.

Bai Yin also likes to hear about the school. She knows that girls and boys can go to school, and even Fu Bao also attends the school, which teaches literacy, arithmetic, bookkeeping, farming and embroidery.

Later, when the summer vacation was over, Bai Yin went to school to give lectures and teach painting. After coming back for a long time, she said to Sun Mu, "Zhaozhou is very good. If he can entrust his birth, he will entrust his birth here."

"He can do whatever he wants," Sun Mu said.

He often feels that Ming Yuan has not left, and the old wife also thinks the same way. If Ming Yuan is really obsessed with him and stays by their side, now he can see this Zhaozhou school boy and girl when he arrives in Zhaozhou If you don't want to part with Zizhi in Beijing, then stay with Zizhi.

After all, he was happy.

Or reincarnated and reincarnated, forgetting all the pains of the previous life, that's fine.

The husband and wife met each other and were silent for a long time, and finally let go of their knots completely.

It is said that on the second day Sun Mu and his wife came to Zhaozhou, Liang Jiang took the initiative to visit when he got the news. Liang's mother, who was not feeling well, also got up and brought her grandson to visit Li Mansion. The husband taught his grandson how to read and write.

Sun Mu understood and refused. In his whole life, Gu Ziqing was the last apprentice he took in, so he said that the government school was also very good, he would go to the government school to give lectures, and it would be good for the children to go to the government school early to be enlightened.

After Liang Jiang's family visited, Mr. Chen's family also came - Mr. Chen admired the poems of the Crane Immortal very much, so he naturally wanted to see them. If he could say a few lines of poems, he would be even happier.

On the fifth day, Rong Ye from the courtyard next door came to the door.

"Has the second prince ever joked that he wants Na Mingyuan to be his side concubine?"

Rong Ye nodded, "Yes."

"That has nothing to do with you. It's not you, it's someone else, or other schemes." Sun Mu studied and lectured all his life, and he was indifferent to fame and fortune.

He looked at the young man in front of him with a calm face, and said, "It's the same as before, we never get along."

The meaning is the same as before, as a stranger, you can do whatever you want.Sun Mu still doesn't like people with power and schemes, so he just doesn't deal with Rong Ye, it doesn't matter.

Let this matter go.

Rong Ye's brows were a little lost, and he was a little downcast, but he quickly hid it, trying his best to maintain the character of a child of the family, stood up and left with hands bowed, but when he stepped out the door, he showed a bit of loss and confusion.

Sometimes people who ignore and don't care, design carefully, and feel guilty and restless in their hearts are indescribably uncomfortable.

Originally, Rong Ye had the will to die, betrayed his relatives, and came to Zhaozhou alone with no relatives and no reason, dragging his sick body. He wanted to see what Zhaozhou looked like before he died, and see the famous Zhaozhou who was mentioned by everyone as his husband. Boss Shang Li.

When he arrived in Zhaozhou, he was healed and struggled several times between life and death. His life was actually spared, but Rong Ye was at a loss. The design was wrong, he knew that Li Zhouzhou's minister had recognized Sun Mu as his teacher.

To the Li family, he should be an enemy.

But before Li Zhouzhou and his father-in-law drove him out of the house, before he was accused of doing evil, the days passed by, seemingly depressing and painful, but they really came over, the iceberg in the main room day after day, never There is no shortage, and medicine for healing wounds and scars has been sent.

'...Brother Lin just thought of you. After buying it, I realized that Xiaotian also has it. I don't know if it is true or not, so I have to check it first to see if it can be used'.

He is not even a bereaved dog now, and he has no valuables on him, and he has no plans.That is really purely caring about him.

When the injury heals, the person will also get better.

Rong Ye read it once, but felt uneasy, and then waited for Sun Mu and his wife to arrive. After hearing who the guests from the mansion were, Rong Ye was a little flustered and a little bit timid.

When you really make amends, you won't be bound by the past.

It seems that Rong Ye has no reason to stay in Li Mansion.

At the end of July, large shipments were sent out during the Zhaozhou business year. This year is different. Most of them are sent to the Central Plains, and a small part is sent to Xinzhou, Mozhou. The cement road connecting the three states has been repaired, and this is going to the other two states. The goods in the city have one loyalty and three pledges.

The water route is still in Wang Jian's view, and the land route is in Su Shiyi's view.

This time, all the carriage wheels of the land convoy were replaced with rubber tires. When transporting them from various prefectures and counties to Zhaozhou City, there were people in the city and merchants who watched the excitement. Seeing that the carriage wheels were all black, they naturally became curious. .

"Why is this wheel black?"

"Is it lucky to paint it black?"

"I've only heard of red auspiciousness, but I've never seen black auspiciousness."

This is true, red is used for weddings, if black is used——

Bah bah bah.This Zhaozhou merchant wants to ship, so he can't say some bad words.These merchants also dispelled what they thought in their hearts, let alone read it out. The merchants were jealous of these, so they corrected it and got back on track.

"What the hell is this black thing? I seem to be walking more easily than before?"

"I loaded the goods before, and there were marks on the cement road. Naturally, I was talking about dust marks. Now—" This person wanted to praise Li's family, but when he saw the cement road, these cars walked on the cement road. The marks are more obvious, and there are still patterns.

"..."

The big guy laughed and laughed that he wanted to flatter and failed.The man became angry and said, "Then what do you think it is? I haven't seen it before, but since Boss Li can use it on the wheels of the team, it must be a good thing. I haven't seen it on the market yet."

If it is hidden and not sold, it must be a better treasure, or it is extremely rare.

"I've seen Mr. Gu use it on the wheel before, and I was curious and asked, but I didn't find out."

"Yes, yes, I remembered, it seems to have been there since Minzhang came back."

"Min Zhang's thing? The Min Zhang produced the piece of rubber, but that is white and this is black."

Everyone talked about it, but naturally they didn't discuss anything, and another person who joined said mysteriously: "You didn't find out, except for the team of Zhaozhou merchants who used it, and the car that the yamen was carrying things half a month ago was also on the way." Put this on."

That's official stuff.

Merchants hear that it is used by the government, it is not something ordinary merchants can think about and intervene, and seeing that the carriages of Boss Li's caravan are also used, they can't help but feel envious. Different.

On the eve of the caravan's departure, Gu Zhao came back.

After Sun Mu arrived, Li Zhouzhou thought about writing a letter to Xinzhou to deliver to his husband, but as soon as he thought about it, Sun Mu said first that Ziqing was working, and he came whenever he came, and he was not in a hurry to leave, so don't bother him up.

Li Zhouzhou did not write.

So Mr. Gu came back a few days early, rode into the city, wrapped his face and head in a silk scarf, otherwise he would be so sunburnt that his skin would burst, and he went home directly. The concierge didn't have time to pass the news, so he just heard a happy voice say: "My lord is back."

After a while, all the adults in the mansion came back.

When Gu Zhao saw Zhou Zhou, he said, "Zhou Zhou, did you miss me a few days ago? I knew it. I sneezed several times in a row. I am strong and not sick. I must have sneezed for no reason. It's you who miss me, and I miss you too, let me take a good look—"

"Master—"

"Fubao isn't here? Well, let me tell you, yesterday I was traveling overnight. I was supposed to sleep in the wild all night. As a result, there were many mosquitoes and they bit me all over my bag. It was so itchy. I took a bath later. , you have to apply the potion for me, I can't reach some places..." Master Gu showed a shy expression, and pulled Zhou Zhou's wrist into the main hall.

Li Zhouzhou: "My lord, the teacher and wife are here."

Gu Zhao: ...

"I saw it." When Gu Zhao looked at the teacher sitting in the main hall with a shy expression, he was so frightened that he immediately quieted down, and even wanted to sing the Great Compassion Mantra for himself on the spot.

It may take a shock to transform from the unprincipled Mr. Gu to the serious and old-fashioned.

Gu Ziqing lifted up his robe very solemnly, but he was wearing a round-necked short robe, which was a bit nondescript, but he still knelt down on one knee and saluted, saying: "Teacher is well." Then he saluted the teacher's wife who was not masked next to him, " Mistress is well."

"Get up, kid." Sun Mu also smiled, otherwise what would happen.

Everyone pretended they didn't hear what Mr. Gu said just now, this problem is over.

While waiting for the hot water, Gu Zhao wiped his head and face, chatted with his master, knowing that he came because of Rong Ye, he couldn't help saying: "It's hard work for Master to come here, but it's good to come here , I was thinking about Master and Mistress, so I must stay longer."

"I have no grievances with him, and don't implicate him either."

"Teacher, if you don't get angry with him, you will hate him, and I won't hate him because of it. There are mainly other reasons." Master Gu thought for a while, but still didn't say anything about his jealousy.

Can Rong Ye compare to him?

Since he can't compare to his status in Zhou Zhou's heart, it seems that he is an unreasonable jealous jar.Mr. Gu also wanted face and demeanor, so he gave up.Naturally there is another end, although Gu Zhao is a little bit upset with Rong Ye, but now Rong Ye is a tiger in Pingyang, naturally he would not do bullying behavior, otherwise he would be a dog bullied by a dog in Huluopingyang.

There is another layer, the fact that Rong Ye is a brother is a private matter, Rong Ye wants to cover it up, and Gu Zhao will not make a big announcement.

Sun Mu didn't ask much when he heard it, but just talked for a while. Gu Zhao was even more happy when he heard that Master would stay longer. Fu Bao came over and kowtowed first to call the teacher.

Seniority has messed up this matter, and Xiao Gu hasn't thought about coming yet.

"My family, Fufu, loves painting very much, and he has a lot of aura. If you are bored, Mrs. Mistress, you can call Fufu to order him to run errands and peel nut shells for you, and to accompany you to amuse yourself. As long as you are happy, you can give me advice. Just instruct him to paint."

As far as Li Zhaoxi's painting is concerned, his father always worries about how to hire a famous teacher to teach one-on-one when he raises his head at work.It's all right now.

Bai Yin: ...

Fortunately, when the hot water came, Li Zhouzhou softly asked Mr. Xiang to wash up to relieve fatigue, Gu Zhao responded, and said in front of the teacher and wife like a dog: "Then teacher and wife, I will go first, and I just have something to ask for." My family helps out every week, and you two will sit and drink tea first."

Li Zhouzhou's ears were completely red, but when he thought of Xianggong saying that he had been bitten all over his body, his heart ached, so he really had the cheek to go with him.

Before their backs left the main hall, Gu Zhao stretched out his paw to hold Zhou Zhou's hand, and said, "I knew that Zhou Zhou treated me very well. Don't be ashamed."

People walked away, no sound could be heard, and the hall was quiet.

Only then did Bai Yin regain her intuition, she turned her head and said to Sun Mu, "This is Gu Ziqing?"

"Yes." Sun Mu held his beard.

Bai Yin thought for a while, then asked: "How is this son's literary talent compared to Zizhi?"

"Ziqing's literary talent is the same as Fubao's paintings."

Bai Yin: "..." Got it.

"When I was in Beijing that day, I didn't actually have any intention of accepting apprentices. You know that even if I did accept apprentices, it would be very elegant and elegant, comparable to when I was young. If it spreads, it will not be regarded as a loss of my reputation. Even if Liang Zizhi was accepted back then, it was mostly because of the Liang family's affection, Zizhi's literary talent is impressive."

No matter how Yunyou gave lectures, he was calm and calm, but his unruly nature was still there, and if he didn't like it, he wouldn't notice it. Shi Mingwen begged him to accept the rigorous letter that day, and praised him again.

At the banquet, seeing the poem written by Yan Jingxin, Sun Mu was a bit surprised, and Shi Mingwen was not talking nonsense, he was just accepting apprentices, Sun Mu didn't have such thoughts, and paid attention to Gu Zhaoduo mentioned by Zizhi .

"Ziqing has childish sincerity and magnanimity, and he doesn't stick to secular etiquette. After I met him, I thought literary talent was not very important. Now I see everything in Zhaozhou, and I didn't miss him. He is my Sun Mu's apprentice."

Sun Mu couldn't hide his pride while talking.

In the bathroom, Mrs. Gu revealed himself frankly, and made a coquettish voice that could bleat more than a child's to Zhou Zhou, "Zhou Zhou, look, it's here, why is this mosquito so vicious?" , I didn't sleep with my legs spread out, how could I still get bitten here, and it was still grinding after riding a horse, and now it hurts and itches. "

It's not good for Li Zhouzhou to take the prepared concoction.

He felt that Xiang Gong must be teasing him, but it didn't seem to be the case.

Then, let's paint it.
