Fortunate Wife

For heterosexual topics, women are no less enthusiastic than men.

Several women chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the Shangguan Mansion.

As soon as I came back, I realized that Li Mo and Li Shu were not at home, only Xiao Wu was watching the children in the room.

Li Man was very surprised, "Xiao Wu, didn't you go to school?"

"Yeah." Xiao Wu snorted guiltily, got up and said, "Mother Liu just fed them, it's nothing, I'll go back to the house first."

He wants to slip?

"Wait." Li Man stopped him and stared at him carefully, "Why didn't you go to the Imperial College?"

"I don't want to go." Xiao Wuyi gritted his teeth and simply told the truth.

Li Man was surprised, "Why don't you want to go? Do you miss studying?"

How did this kid become like this? Back then, when she first came to Li's house, how studious he was.

"No." Her eyes were a little stern, and Xiao Wu lowered her eyes unconsciously, and said softly, "I just don't want to go to the Imperial College."

"Why?" Li Man didn't understand anymore, it was a place that many people couldn't go to even if they wanted to.

Xiao Wu didn't explain, but only assured, "Don't worry, I've been reviewing my homework every day these days, and I haven't missed a single point. I promise I will work hard."

"But, what does this have to do with your going to the Imperial College to listen? Don't you want those university scholars to give you advice?" Li Man said seductively.

Xiao Wu shook his head lightly, "I don't want to."

It was a royal place, but the people studying there were either princes or nobles, so he didn't want to rely on connections to study there.

Li Man felt that there was something wrong with this child, and he didn't want a good thing that no one else could think of.

After going through what happened last time, she didn't know how to deal with him anymore, so she just said, "Okay, when your elder brother comes back, you can tell him yourself."

She didn't want to control it anymore, anyway, she couldn't control it.

Seeing her disappointment, Xiao Wu was very frustrated and almost gave up. He wanted to tell her that he would go to school as long as she was happy.

However, Li Man didn't look at him again, but just touched the two children. The little clothes were all wet with sweat. She turned around and took out two clean clothes from the closet, and helped the children change them again.

Xiao Wu stood for a while, felt bored, and left silently.

As soon as he left, Li Man stopped pretending to be busy and stared at the door in a daze.

Xiao Wu has something on his mind, so he should talk to Li Mo later.

After changing into the children's clothes, Shangguanxue and the others also washed up, and they came to her side together.

As soon as they came, Shangguanxue and Tian Ningying rushed to play with the children, while Yunyan stood aside awkwardly, looking at Li Man's two children, eyes full of envy.

"Sister Yun, do you want to hug too? Here you are." Shangguanxue carried Dabao to Yunyan.

Dabao doesn't recognize his life, and anyone wants to hug him. Hearing Shangguanxue's words, he happily waved his little arms like Yunyan.

Yun Yan hurriedly stretched out her hand to hug her, but as soon as her fingers touched the child's clothes, her expression changed suddenly, and she flinched back in a panic, taking several steps back.

"No, that, I don't hold babies."

Shangguanxue felt that her behavior was a little too much, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I didn't dare to hug her before, but Dabao is very obedient and easy to hug."

"No, I'll just watch you hug." Yun Yan took another step back, but she didn't dare to hug her.

Li Man saw it in her eyes, and she was puzzled in her heart. Yunyan liked children, and she could see it from her eyes. Moreover, she wanted to hug her at first, but suddenly she didn't dare to hug her.

Logically speaking, what's the big deal if it's just holding a baby?

Ke Yunyan's attitude really made people suspicious.

She probably felt that she was overwhelmed, Yunyan explained awkwardly, "I'm sweating profusely on my body, I'm afraid I'll smoke my child."

"Oh, it's really hot today. I'll see why Li Yan and the others haven't come back yet." Li Man changed the subject, got up and walked out the door.

As soon as he went out, he saw Li Yan, Li Mo and others entered the yard together, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Why did you come back? Is it hot?"

"It's okay." The brothers all smiled at Li Man. It turned out that they only met at the door.

"You guys go back to the house and wash your face first, I have something to tell my elder brother." Li Man held Li Mo back, and then said to the others.

"What are you talking about?" Li Shu was curious.

"It's Xiao Wu's business." Li Man didn't hide anything, just said, "You go back to the house first, Xue'er and the others are all here, let someone set up a meal later."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Li Mo to the shaded grape trellis.

"Brother, Xiao Wu didn't go to the Imperial College today."

Hearing this, Li Mo's expression did not change, but his eyes were a little dodged.

Seeing him like this, Li Man guessed a little bit, and asked in surprise, "Do you know about this?"

"Yeah." Li Mo nodded lightly, "Zhang Jing said in the morning to send someone to take him there, but he won't go."

"Why? Why don't you just ignore him and just let him go?" Li Man was busy tidying up the kitchen stuff in the morning, so she didn't know about it.

"Man'er, let him do this." Li Mo said awkwardly.

"Why? Weren't you very happy before? Besides, this opportunity is so rare." Li Man grabbed his arm and asked in confusion.

Li Mo apologizes

Looking at her intently, "Man'er, Xiaowu probably thinks that he can go to the Imperial College this time because of the relationship between the crown prince, so—"

"Could it be that he thinks it's embarrassing for us to go through the back door?" Li Man asked angrily.

"It's probably like this." Li Mo sighed lightly, and then persuaded Li Man, "Xiao Wu has a serious heart. He saw that you went to the Prince's Mansion early in the morning, and he felt very awkward."

Li Man's eyebrows twitched, "Didn't he think that I went to the Prince's Mansion to let him go to study and make a deal with the Prince?"

"Yeah." Li Mo nodded.

Li Man blushed and said angrily, "You bastard, think of me as someone."

Find him to settle accounts.

"Man'er, don't blame him." Li Mo hurriedly grabbed her.

Li Man threw him away, "It's not his fault, it's your fault. Can't you explain it clearly to him? If he doesn't understand as a child, you don't understand either? Going to the Prince's Mansion has nothing to do with him studying. It's just a lot of things. I can't get involved, I just want to return the favor."

Seeing her agitated, Li Mo instinctively hugged her.

There is no way, don't look at Li Man who is small, she loses her temper like a little lion, if she can't be controlled, she doesn't know what to do.

"Let me go, I have to talk to that kid." Li Man struggled in his arms.

"Man'er, calm down, listen to me." Li Mo didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of strangling her, but he did not dare to relax completely, for fear that she would really go to find Xiao Wu to settle accounts. Good ending.

Li Man struggled for a while, but couldn't escape, she was sweating again from being tired, leaning against his arms and gasping for breath.

"Okay, tell me, I see what you have to say."

She stared at him with red eyes.

Thinking about Xiao Wu's child thinking that she was doing business, her heart was chilled.

Could it be that she was such a woman in their eyes?

Li Mo put his long arms around her, looked at her red eyes, and felt more guilty, "Man'er, actually, after thinking about it later, I think it's better if Xiao Wu doesn't go."

"What?" Li Man raised her eyebrows.

Li Mo hurriedly said, "Think about it, whoever is studying in the Imperial College, I'm afraid that Xiao Wu will be bullied if he goes there."

Before, he didn't know that the Imperial College was where the princes and noble children studied, but after hearing from the fourth brother, he felt something was wrong.

Those people are noble and their eyes are higher than the top. What's more frightening is that ordinary people are worth nothing in their eyes. He hardly needs to think about it. He can guess how a commoner like Xiao Wu will be treated there.

Li Man was slightly taken aback, "Just because of this, you agree with him not to go to school?"

"No, you can also read books at home. Xiao Wu is very knowledgeable now. I asked the fourth brother, and he said that he is progressing very fast." Li Mo hurriedly coaxed his wife.

Li Man looked at him and smiled wryly, "No matter how smart he is, he can't be self-taught. You are afraid of him being bullied, but you think I am not. But, after all, he was recommended by the prince, so I think other people will be more or less afraid. Besides, he just went to attend the class and come back after class, so it’s fine not to play around with those noble children. Don’t care about others, as long as we are neither humble nor overbearing.”

"But..." Li Mo felt that his wife's words were reasonable, and he was powerless to refute.

Li Man looked at him and said seriously, "Brother, I'm not a snobbish person. I don't mean that if Xiao Wu studies, he will have to be the number one scholar in the future and become a high official or something. Think about it, the masters of the Imperial College, they can be the Pope Son, to be able to teach those aristocratic children, this knowledge must be top-notch. If our little five can learn from such a gentleman later, it will be a great fortune. Even if we can't learn, it is good to be enlightened. Maybe it will inspire him in his future life. If we don't let him study just because he might be bullied, then it will really hurt him."

"Man'er, me, it's my fault." Looking at Li Man's sincere eyes, Li Mo was completely defeated, and felt that his wife was still thinking thoughtfully, how could he let him give up on such a thing just because he felt sorry for his younger brother being bullied? What a chance.

Besides, to grow into a man, one will inevitably suffer some setbacks. Right now, it is not a setback at all to let him go to school.

If it were for him when he was a child, he would go to the private school in the town, not to mention going to the Imperial College, even if the road was full of thorns, as long as he had the opportunity, he would go.

But he didn't have this chance, but Xiao Wu did.

With such a good opportunity, how can you not go because of a little timidity.

The more Li Mo thought about it, the more he felt that he had lost his head, and even indulged Xiao Wu.

"It's your fault." Seeing him compromise, Li Man relaxed and her voice softened, "So, I'll let you settle this matter. Let's forget about it today. If he doesn't go to school tomorrow, you Let's see."

"Don't worry, he won't go tomorrow, I will deliver it myself." Li Mo promised.

"Well, this is my good husband-in-law." Li Man stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the cheek, then took his hand and said, "It's very hot here, let's go back to the house, I'm afraid hungry."

"Didn't eat anything in the Prince's Mansion?" Li Mo was curious.

"I've eaten, but eating with His Royal Highness is prone to indigestion, so I eat less." Li Man said with a smile.

The two went back to the house together.

Xiao Wu also flashed out from behind the door, looking at the grape arbor with dazed eyes.

Brother and

After listening to Man'er's conversation, he couldn't express what it felt like.

He knew that they were doing it for his own good, but it was because this kind of thing was arranged properly for him, which made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but want to resist.

However, it is obviously useless to resist, and the eldest brother has guaranteed it. It seems that he must go to this school tomorrow.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing standing there? Dinner is ready."

Suddenly, Tian Ningying came out and shouted when she saw him.

Xiao Wu let out an 'oh', and went into the room to have dinner with everyone.

After lunch and coaxing the children to take a nap, Li Man took Yun Yan and the others into the kitchen.

The small kitchen is ventilated from north to south, and when the windows on both sides are opened, it is cool.

"Let's get some fruit juice first, put it in ice cubes for a while, and wait for the eldest brother and the others to take a nap, it's ready to drink." Li Man first washed all kinds of fruits.

Tian Ningying looked at her and smiled, "Sister-in-law, if you spoil your cousins ​​like this, you will spoil them."

"Where am I spoiled? You don't drink these juices?" Li Man glanced at her with a smile, and said, "I'll send someone to send some to my uncle and the others later."

"Sister-in-law is so kind." Tian Ningying boasted immediately.

Shangguan Xue just stood aside, staring at the two fat fish swimming in the wooden basin in a daze, "Sister, how do you cook this fish?"

"It's delicious no matter how you cook it. It depends on your taste. You like steamed, braised, or boiled... anyway, there are many ways to cook fish." Li Man washed the fruit and handed it to Yunyan to make the juice. Wiping her hands, she walked to Shangguanxue's side and asked with a smile, "Want to eat fish? My sister will make it for you tonight."

"Well, just make the one you made last time, what is it called pickled cabbage fish." Shangguanxue said excitedly.

Li Man frowned slightly, "You didn't eat much last time, didn't you think it was too spicy?"

Shangguan Xue blushed slightly, and said softly, "I can eat a little spicy food now, so you can teach me how to make this dish first."
