"Oh, my dear grandson, it's just a little bit crooked!"

"Xiao Si, this is a pick-up ball!"

Wang was watching and giving instructions, while Wangshu was watching lazily with a honey pancake in her mouth. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were leaning sideways on the porch chairs, looking very comfortable. Qin Xiuyuan stood in the middle of the field, occasionally instructing the children on how to play. The little daughter kicked too hard and lost her balance. He supported her and wiped the tears of the tearful little girl...

"Xiao Si has been crying so easily lately..."

Wangshu smiled. When Qin Xiuyuan was at home, his eyes would easily turn red... It all started with this ball. Xiao Si grabbed his father with one hand to steady himself, and then kicked it out.

He hit the edge of the basket and bounced back. Wang shouted, "Xiao Si, you're too strong!"

Until it was completely dark, the brother and sister were panting and still enjoying themselves, hugging their father's thighs and kicking.

Wangshu took off the shoes and socks of both of them and checked the red instep of their feet. He pressed the thumb nail and found that it didn't hurt, so he agreed.

The maid who was taking care of the two young masters was very happy. Usually, after the brother and sister returned to their room, they would chase each other around the pillars for an hour or two, making everyone dizzy. Tonight it was really too relaxing.

Xiaolu led people to the warehouse to bring back six tall four-cornered lotus palace lanterns. The lotus petals were delicate and colorful, and the palace lanterns were magnificent. The square courtyard was as bright as day. A plate of freshly fried fragrant finger meat strips was given as a new prize. The bamboo basket was fixed with a rope again, and a new round of competition officially began.

After the eldest and second oldest brothers handed over today's big characters, they also followed to join in the fun, covering their eyes with their hands and sleeves to increase the difficulty. For a while, there was chattering, childish talk, screaming and laughing non-stop.

Wangshu unfolded the boss's question for today.

"Qin was the Son of Heaven, but it perished in the second generation. Here are three reasons. If you were the second emperor, what would you do?"

Her eldest son listed three simple points: the second emperor had no talent for governing the country, killed capable ministers, and the people frequently revolted.

Then, "I am not the Second Emperor. I am Wang Ben!"

Wang Ben was the son of Wang Jian. Both father and son were famous military generals who swept across the six kingdoms and made great contributions to the unification of the Qin Dynasty.

Direct magic to defeat the question.

Wangshu handed the page to the man. His daughter's regular script was still pleasing to the eye. Coincidentally, the one she had chosen today was a famous passage from the Book of Rites: The Biography of Li Si:

Mount Tai does not give up any soil, so it can become so big.

Rivers and seas do not discriminate against small streams, so they can become deep.

The king does not reject the common people, so he can clearly cultivate virtue...

……

It was a famous piece of writing written by Li Si after he was expelled from Qin Shi Huang. Based on this piece of writing, the young Qin Shi Huang began to employ talents from all over the world in an unconventional way.

Wangshu admired his daughter's calligraphy and handed it to Qin Xiuyuan. Qin Xiuyuan nodded and carefully folded it. "Mingxi has read this piece carefully. The whole piece is coherent and the writing is powerful."

The younger one was tired, and the older one started to play freely. The oldest one was very strong, and the square yard was not big enough for him to kick. He almost kicked people several times. Mingxi had good footwork and excellent balance, and he could often steal the ball from his brother's feet and dribble it. However, he would suffer whenever he encountered Yun Xiao's physical confrontation.

It was late at night and dewy, making the skin slightly cool. Wangshu lowered his sleeves and went back to his room first, his wooden clogs tapping. Xiaoqing was holding a big bowl with a string of candied haws in it.

"Madam, these hawthorn berries are the largest, so I specially selected them to be put in a bunch. They are also coated with thick syrup and frozen with ice water. Look, they are big and plump, so pleasing!"

"It can be kept at night, but the sugar will melt during the day."

Placed on the window frame, on the low couch were two thick volumes of warehouse books. Ji Laoer was getting married, and as his elder sister, she had to send the gifts before the weather was too cold and the roadside was frozen.

It happened that Liang Ju was planning to return to his ancestral home in the south to celebrate the New Year this year, and he would bring the gifts back with him.

"Madam, I've found out everything. The second young lady's fiancé is surnamed Shang, and he's twenty-seven years old. His mother died young, and he has no siblings. His stepmother was childless and doesn't take care of things. He was previously ordered by the general to escort the old man and his wife south, and the three of them stayed in their ancestral home, where he was in charge of the troops."

The candlelight flickered slightly. Xiaoqing picked it up with scissors and cut a new piece of wick. The bright light reflected her peaceful and smiling face. "When he arrived in Hangzhou County, he always made friends with the old lady and was thinking about the second young lady. Hard work pays off. The second young lady finally nodded and agreed."

The old man and the old lady of the Ji family were open-minded. After they went south, they did not rush to arrange for the second daughter to get married, which showed how much they loved her.

The journey is long, so we cannot send exquisite or large items. Gold, silver, jewelry, fabrics, beds and cabinets can be transferred from local or Jingzhou shops.

"I hope Lele can understand. Her parents have taken great pains to treat her, and she..." Wangshu held the pen. In the past, Ji's father devoted all his efforts to his little daughter, but Lele, on the other hand, used all his tricks to deceive and evade.

After that scandalous incident, Wangshu really wanted to chop Wang Gouzi into pieces! Hang Ji Wangle up and beat him for three days and three nights!

Later, Wang Gouzi was sent to the battlefield by his father and died. Wangshu had no sympathy at all. He could only say that this former cousin-in-law was a sensible man!

From then on, Wangshu no longer recognized Li Wanting as a relative. Even Qin Xiuyuan's cousin Wang Jing, who came back with Wang, was arranged by Qin Xiuyuan and Wang to live in a farm outside the city. The couple had a consensus that they would not visit relatives and would not allow anyone to enter their home.

Now that his younger sister is getting married, Wangshu has actually wavered about whether he should go there or not. Only by visiting and keeping in touch can he maintain family ties. Thinking about his parents who are old and in their twilight years, no matter how wronged he is, he is afraid that the time will come when the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to support his parents but they are no longer around.

It is unrealistic for my parents to travel all the way north to apologize to me.

"Madam, your sister has definitely grown up. Every failure is a lesson learned. Shopkeeper Ji said that the second young lady is calm and independent, and is devoted to managing the bookstore and the farm in Hangzhou County. After careful consideration, he agreed to the marriage."

She had a big fall and suffered a lot. For her reputation, the two elders of the Ji family were so determined to give up their wife and go back to their ancestral home with her.

It's unacceptable if you are still ignorant.

"Raising a child for a hundred years is accompanied by constant worry for ninety-nine." Wangshu closed the booklet. "Being a parent is so tiring! Sometimes I really want to be alone, to be alone in peace, to do nothing all day long, to eat when hungry and sleep when full."

Xiaoqing covered her mouth and laughed, "You can't think like that."

Wangshu got down and took the wet towel to wipe his face. "I'm not the kind of person who pretends to be sad just to write new poems. I'm really sad. I really mean it."

"Madam, you don't know how many people envy you! Children are naughty, but they will grow up in a few years. In the future, you will enjoy endless happiness!"

Humph, "Don't fool me. Wangle is only twenty-two this year. We have to wait and see. You guys are so cunning. How much money do you need to save before you can enjoy life in the future?"

Xiaoqing and Xiaolu's monthly salary is equivalent to that of half a low-ranking general.

"Xiaoqing is enjoying a life by Madam's side."

Wangshu looked at his personal maid with gloomy eyes, "I mentioned you and Xiaolu to Qin Yi today. You two are doing well."

Speaking of which, there are many people around him who are worth using. He counted them off on his fingers, "You, Xiaolu, Chunyang, Jishou, Zhangsan, and my Aunt Li who stayed in Yaocheng..."

“Everything is good!”
