Hong Tianqiao naturally did not take the hundred taels from the chef.

I praised him and let him go back.

"The power of this loyalty pill is really good."

The whole family is very satisfied.

"My sister is on a mission again today."

Bai Jin'an's tone was affirmative because he knew what kind of person his sister was outside.

My younger sister usually doesn't take the initiative to show off, but today she took the initiative to help Princess Le Hui win the game. She must have done it because she had a mission.

“Well, I got a calligraphy mastery.

I decided that we would eat together as a family.”

Bai Jintong took out the calligraphy brush and threw it directly into the cup.

The calligraphy was so proficient that it melted into water as soon as it was put into water. Bai Jintong divided it into four cups.

“Is this the plus version?

Why is it so small this time?"

Hong Tianqiao took the portion handed to him by his daughter and drank it.

Bai Mengshang and Bai Jin'an also drank it.

"No."

Bai Jintong said this and drank it himself.

"what?"

The three of them said in unison.

"Then why are you still giving us drinks?"

As Hong Tianqiao spoke, she really wanted to scratch her throat to spit it out, but she didn't know if it was too late.

Bai Mengshang and Bai Jin'an were already picking their throats.

"Dad, brother, please stop being disgusting.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not the plus version. At most, each of us can be proficient in a few things, and then everyone will know it. Isn’t that great?

My brother can’t write calligraphy, and he has trouble going to school. Now let him try.”

Bai Jintong said this as he took out the pens, ink, paper and inkstone he had bought today and gave one to each person.

I've drunk it all, but I still can't get it out.

The four of them wrote their own pieces, but they all flowed smoothly as if they had learned it since childhood.

Especially Hong Tianqiao, neither her original incarnation in ancient times nor herself could write calligraphy.

“Wow! Wow!

I am also a great calligrapher! Hahaha!"

"You're going to get itchy if you don't get spanked for a day, right?

You take a megaphone and shout outside? "

Bai Mengshang wrote a word incorrectly because of his son's yelling. He put down the brush and kicked him.

“Hey, hey, hey, Dad, I was wrong, but there’s no speaker here!

Hahaha……"

Bai Jin'an is really a mean person. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't make people angry for a day.

But Bai Mengshang and Hong Tianqiao were indeed happy. They had never known how to write calligraphy, but now they can do it effortlessly and their writing is very good. However, each of the four of them had his own handwriting style.

Bai Mengshang is proficient in official script, Hong Tianqiao is proficient in cursive script, Bai Jin'an is proficient in regular script, Bai Jintong is proficient in running script, and the four of them also know a little seal script. They can write it, not proficiently, but they all have their own style.

"Is this all right?"

"Tongtong, you should eat the reward yourself next time."

Hong Tianqiao felt that her daughter was at a great disadvantage.

"Yes, we have eaten so much of your essence that it is enough. If we eat more, it will be a waste."

Bai Mengshang also wondered why he tasted so good.

"Sister, you are so kind!

Dad and Mom are right."

Bai Jin'an also felt a little guilty and thought that her sister should have eaten it all.

Bai Jintong saw that her parents and brother began to feel sorry for her. This might be the side effect of the loyalty pill.

"Okay, okay, I have the final say over my stuff.

Come and have dinner, I'm hungry."

"Okay, let's eat."

The whole family went to the lady's yard, and just as they left the house, Mother Hong came again.

"Ma'am, this is a letter from my great uncle."

"what?"

The whole family was puzzled, and then they remembered that Hong Tianqiao still had family members on her mother's side.

It’s just that I never thought about it before, so I forgot about it.

Mother Hong brought a thick envelope to Hong Tianqiao.

Although Hong Tianqiao was originally the daughter of a scholar, her father died early, when she was three or four years old.

She was a girl and her family had no spare money for her studies. All the money they had went to her brother.

Later, her mother died when she was fourteen. In order to support her brother's studies, she married herself at the age of seventeen.

The Hong family used to be doing okay, as their ancestor had produced a top scholar. But later on their parents passed away, leaving only the two siblings at home. They were not bullied because their brother was a scholar, but life was still not easy.

It was impossible for her to marry into a good family, so in the end she chose the illegitimate son Bai Mengshang and exchanged some dowry for her brother to continue his studies.

Her brother passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi in the second year after she got married. He is now a county magistrate in the far south. The two siblings have not seen each other for more than ten years and only communicate through correspondence every year.

“I said I would forget something during the Chinese New Year.

I just forgot about my brother because I had so many things to do at home. "

No one else said anything because they had all forgotten that the eldest child should not criticize the second child.

Hong Tianqiao felt a little embarrassed and quickly opened the envelope to take a look.

As far as I can remember, the relationship between these two siblings was very good.

As soon as I opened the envelope, I saw neat and regular regular script without a single typo. It really was beautifully written.

Now everyone in the family is proficient in calligraphy, so they can recognize the quality of calligraphy at a glance and appreciate it very much.

From the content of the letter, the family learned that Hong Tianqiao's brother Hong Tianyu was transferred to Lingzhu this year to serve as a county magistrate.

"It's miserable there, with poisonous miasma, all kinds of poisonous insects, and the weather is so humid."

Based on the geographical location described by her uncle, Bai Jintong guessed where it was.

"Isn't this the same as what we know about Lingnan?

According to today's society, that is really painful.

This is almost like exile.

Did my uncle offend someone?"

Bai Jin'an felt that if he were sent to that kind of place in the future, it would be better for him to be a farmer. At least he could live a few more years.

"This is how to do?"

"Don't worry, finish reading the letter first. If we can't go, we can ask someone to bring some things over."

Bai Mengshang recalled that his elder brother-in-law was quite good, except that he had always been unlucky. He still had to help if he could, since he was the children's uncle after all.

The letter began with questions about her sister, brother-in-law, and nephews' doings, etc., and how she missed them. It took two pages to write down her feelings. Bai Jintong admired them so much that she couldn't write it down.

In the last two pages, Hong Tianyu wrote that he was ashamed for not being able to give his sister a New Year's gift during the Spring Festival because there was a minor accident at home, but there was no need to worry and it was nothing serious.

This time I wrote to ask my sister and brother-in-law for two things.

His two children were going back to Beijing because his son passed the examination and became a scholar, so he decided to send him back to Beijing to study.

But I don’t have any connections, so I can only ask my brother-in-law and sister to take care of it.

Lingzhu is really not a place for people to stay. He and his wife can live there, but he cannot let his two children suffer any more.

There really is no end in sight there.

My daughter is sixteen years old now. We were originally going to get married, but she was transferred to Lingzhu and the marriage fell through.

Both husband and wife hoped that their daughter could find a good family in the capital, and asked her aunt and uncle to help find a suitable one, and they all agreed.

Even being an ordinary citizen is better than being in Lingzhu.

At the end of the letter, she kept expressing her shame, but for the sake of her children's future, she shamelessly asked her sister and brother-in-law for help.

"It's really pitiful for the love of parents in the world. I will tell my mother about this."

Bai Mengshang took the initiative to accept it. After all, they were now living in the lady's house, and they had to ask for her opinion when they came to live with their relatives.
