Rise From the Humble

Xi'er and Yan'er's ambition only lasted for a few minutes before they were woken up by a few slaps from Mother Li, Mrs. Zhang and others. They were all from the old lady's room in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, and were second-class girls, but the old lady couldn't protect them today.

"Grandma doesn't believe in me, her direct granddaughter, but instead believes in these two servants?"

Firstly, Xi'er and Yan'er "admitted" that they broke the inkstone when they sent it to Tingyuxuan. Secondly, this sentence from Li Shu's people completely dispelled the old lady's idea of ​​protecting the two girls.

A quarter of an hour later, the two ambitious girls, with swollen faces and eyes red from crying, were sent to a farm outside the city by the foreign affairs steward of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, holding large and small bags, to continue their ambitions there. , as for returning to the capital, don’t think about it.

Their departure did not create a single ripple in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.

The Linhuai Marquis Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The servants and maids had joyful faces and were busy in an orderly manner. The entire Marquis Mansion was filled with joy.

Today is the day when Linhuai Marquis and Caojiang Admiral Li Tingzhu returns to Beijing to report on his duties. Today he will stay at home for a day, and tomorrow he will go to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report on his duties. After his death, he will return to Yingtian Mansion again to sit in the Navy Left Guard Barracks. .

At about ten o'clock, Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu arrived at Linhuai Marquis Mansion.

Because Zhu Ping'an was at home on vacation, he also went with Li Shu to meet Li Tingzhu at the door with the old lady and others.

The first time he saw Li Tingzhu, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but touch his chin and twitch the corners of his mouth.

Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu served as the admiral of Caojiang and the left guard of the navy in Yingtian. After experiencing this kind of military life, theoretically speaking, he should lose weight. However, Marquis Li became fatter instead, and almost had a double chin on his face. .

However, in the eyes of one hundred people, there are one hundred Linhuai Marquises.

"Son, why have you lost weight? Why don't you take good care of yourself when you are away from home?"

When the old lady of Linhuai Marquis Mansion saw Li Tingzhu for the first time, the corners of her eyes covered with crow's feet turned red and she almost burst into tears.

Zhu Pingan was startled when he heard this.

However, the Marquis of Linhuai's wife and many of his children were just like the Marquis of Linhuai's old lady. They all said that the Marquis of Linhuai had lost weight and suffered in the south, etc., and kept asking for his welfare.

"You're still skinny?"

A child's voice stood out among the crowd of greetings and inquiries, just like the "But he's not wearing any clothes" in the emperor's new clothes, standing out from the crowd and standing out at once.

The Marquis of Linhuai was originally comforting the old lady in a loving and filial manner, but when he heard the naughty child's voice, his face turned green on the spot.

Who shouted?

Zhu Ping'an and the others followed the sound and saw the naughty child in the crowd, held in the arms of Mrs. Linhuai Marquis, looking at the crowd with a fat face. The innocence on his face was all for his father. Merciless attack.

Um

It seemed that the obviously questioning rhetorical question came from him.

Seeing the naughty boy with his little fat face, innocent and unaware of the warmth and warmth of human beings and the dangers of the world, Zhu Ping'an could only express his sympathy.

Sure enough, the next second the naughty kid was ruthlessly suppressed by her aunt stretching out her hands and pinching his fat face.

The naughty boy's aunt is his biological mother, but in ancient feudal society, children born from concubines could only call their first wife their mother and their biological mother their aunt. The aunt obviously wants to suppress the naughty child, but in fact she is protecting the naughty child. She can suppress the naughty child by herself, but if she is suppressed by the Marquis of Linhuai or others, it will be difficult to say.

"Ugh, you're obviously not thin." The naughty kid is not afraid of power. Even if his cheeks are pinched, he insists on his point of view.

So, the naughty kid once again paid the price for his innocence.

Speaking of which, the naughty boy was originally very happy today, because today is his birthday, and he usually receives many gifts on his birthdays; in addition, he also memorized the "Returning to Hometown Puppet Book", even if it is " He was able to memorize such a difficult poem as "Pipa Xing", thinking that his father, the Marquis of Linhuai, would be happy when he heard it, and then he could take the opportunity to ask for more birthday gifts.

I never expected that I would get off to a bad start the first time I met him.

"Ahem, children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled," Mrs. Linhuai Marquis smiled awkwardly and helped the naughty child to smooth things over.

In front of everyone, you can't argue with your son. Although Linhuai Hou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, he still showed a generous and kind look. He stretched out his big hand and touched the naughty boy's face. .

"Dad, your hand hurts me." The naughty boy raised his little fat face again and said in a puzzled manner.

Under the gaze of everyone, Marquis Linhuai really wanted to slap this scoundrel to death. It hurt, but I just used a little force.

Next

The naughty boy felt the "deep" father's love.

The Marquis of Linhuai returned to his mansion. As soon as he sat down, he didn't even have time to take a sip of the tea before he began to take exams with his naughty children.

"What have you learned these days when I was out on business?" Marquis Linhuai called the naughty boy to him and asked expressionlessly.

"I learned the "Disciple Regulations" and "Zengguang Xianwen" from Master Xi, and "the naughty boy was like a mouse meeting a cat in front of the Marquis of Linhuai, and was afraid of being beaten by the Marquis of Linhuai."

"What else?!" Linhuai Marquis asked loudly.

The naughty child trembled, "There is also "Three Hundred Tang Poems", um, and I also learned "Pipa Play" from Xi Xifuzi."

"What are you doing so loudly? You're scaring Brother Rui." Mrs. Linhuai Marquis gave Linhuai Marquis a rolling look and took the naughty child into her arms.

"What a loving mother but a loser!" The Marquis of Linhuai snorted.

"What does it mean to be a loving mother and a loser? My Brother Rui is very smart. Last time, Brother Rui memorized the "Book of Return to Hometown" so well that he can recite it backwards and forwards. Isn't it Brother Rui?" Mrs. Linhuai Marquis He touched the naughty child’s little head and felt very loving.

"It's not enough to carry it backwards, but it's okay to carry it forwards." The naughty boy shook his head, and then nodded vigorously, his little fat face full of confidence and high spirits.

"Hmph, let me see how you are okay." The Marquis of Linhuai snorted and said to the naughty boy.

"Just carry it." The naughty kid took a step forward, shook his fat face, and was about to start carrying it.

"If you can't memorize it, see how I deal with you." The Marquis of Linhuai couldn't stand the naughty child's appearance and added in a deep voice.

Originally, the naughty kid was pretty good, but after hearing Marquis Linhuai's words and thinking of the days when he was dominated by Marquis Linhuai's slap, he subconsciously became timid.

"Brother Rui, you memorized very well yesterday. Don't be afraid. Just memorize it for your uncle." Li Shu encouraged the naughty child very thoughtfully.

Huh, of course, unlike you, why would you carry the second child back home after you left home? After listening to Li Shu's words, the naughty boy felt confident again.

"Carry it." Linhuai Marquis urged impatiently.

The naughty kid who had just regained his confidence was urged by the voice of Marquis Linhuai, and his mind went blank, but Marquis Linhuai looked serious and impatient.

So, under the urging of the Marquis of Linhuai, the naughty kid subconsciously opened his mouth and recited: "Young man left home and returned home."

"Second brother, come back?!" After Linhuai Marquis heard this, he almost threw the teacup in his hand, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he asked angrily with a smile: "Where is the boss?!"

"The boss is marrying a business woman?" The naughty boy was frightened and said subconsciously.

"What a boss marrying a businessman, you really memorized a good poem." The Marquis of Linhuai roared, feeling that this naughty sentence about a boss marrying a businessman was the same as the last time he laughed and asked the fat man who are you. It's mocking him.

You can’t memorize such a simple poem? !

Okay, you can’t memorize it because you are lazy and uneducated, but you laughed and asked the fat man who are you, and what the hell is this boss marrying as a businessman?

If you hadn't arranged this for your father and me before, how could you have recited it subconsciously? !

You mock me for being fat at the door, but I want to deal with you at the door? !

As a result, you used a business woman to arrange me again? !

It seems that I can't do anything without giving you a good deal.

So, the Marquis of Linhuai was so angry that he pulled the naughty kid onto his lap and slapped him like a bear's paw like crazy.

The naughty child was howling, and the old lady of Linhuai Marquis and his wife were so distressed that they shouted in pain and tried hard to stop Linhuai Marquis.

"Don't stop me, wuwuwu, wait until I grow up!" The naughty kid scratched his neck and howled.

Yo? !

Don't even stop me? !

Still waiting for you to grow up? !

What are you going to do when you grow up? Do you want to take revenge on me? !

"You evil son! I'll do it again if I disobey you! What do you want to do when you grow up?!" The Marquis of Linhuai was so angry that he was about to run away.

"When I grow up, I will give birth to a son, and then I will beat him hard! Don't stop me," the naughty child cried.
