Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

There was a rustling sound, as if a huge rat was sneaking around, running around and disturbing people's sleep. Wangshu stretched out his hand and found a soft pillow within reach. He closed his eyes, hummed twice, and stretched out his hand.

Soon, footsteps were heard softly, and a large hand supported her outstretched hand. "It's dawn, you can sleep a little longer. I'll wake you up before I leave."

The father and daughter agreed to set off at noon. The man could be absent, but the daughter must be. Now Wangshu continued to sleep with his soft pillow in his arms.

Qin Xiuyuan covered her eyes again and helped her sleep. He left the room, crossed the corridor, and headed towards the east courtyard, bracing himself against the gentle morning breeze. He first visited a pair of chubby children fast asleep in a crib with rails passed down from their brother and sister. Their plump legs, like lotus root joints, pressed against the corners of the quilt. The sister and brother, their backs to each other, would occasionally suck on their fingers and smack their lips, as if they had enjoyed something delicious, coaxing their stomachs into falling back asleep.

Apparently, he was still asleep, but he was already hungry.

The courtyards of the two pairs of siblings were adjacent to each other. They had a great time playing together last night. The eldest young master and the eldest young lady were still asleep. Xiaoqing followed behind them and reminded them. She kept repeating in her mind, "General, you want to take the eldest young master out, but the lady hasn't sent the message yet." She kept sticking out her tongue and then holding it back, like frying beans, tossing it over and over in a pan, and her tongue was rubbed so hard that sparks came out.

"Please inform the two teachers that there will be no classes this morning. Please wait in the front hall when you arrive."

Xiaolu silently thought that it was not good, and what he feared would come true. It was indeed today! He responded respectfully, "Yes."

Seeing the man turn around and head into the side yard, he could no longer care. If he stretched his head, he would get a knife. If he withdrew his head, he would get two knives. He took two quick steps to catch up with him, "General."

Thinking about the inn where they would stay on the road, Mingxi had to avoid setting up camp on the roadside in the wild when taking his daughter out. Mingxi was quite brave. After all, her physical condition was weak. She had to travel with him during the day, so she had to get a good sleep at night to replenish her energy.

The carriage was covered with two layers of soft cushions, and two dancers were selected from the mansion to serve as personal maids. The trip would take at least two months and at most three months. Qin Xiuyuan considered the long-term. If his daughter asked the woman about poetry appreciation on the road, it would be fine. But if she asked about dance and singing, he would really have to learn to sigh like the woman.

The maid called him, Qin Xiuyuan's eyebrows jumped, and he came back to his senses from the details of the itinerary and looked at her indifferently.

Xiaolu bowed and asked bravely, "The day before yesterday, the general asked me to pack the young master's luggage, but I haven't received any news from the lady."

"This time, Mingxi is going out." Qin Xiuyuan answered quickly and firmly, "Give me a list of the things you need to pack, and make sure it is detailed. Also,"

His long, soapy boots stepped on the stone pavement, his robe swaying gently, making him look indescribably free and elegant. "Let Lan Die come over and wait in the front hall together!"

lobby.

Master Li entered the mansion early with his book box on his back, and was the first to be invited to the front hall. For a long time, he taught with only his mouth, and Xie Xin came in with only a folding fan in his hand. The two of them bowed to each other.

The daughter of the general's mansion was very talented in writing, quick to learn, studious, self-disciplined and punctual. She served as her literary and dance teacher. They were relaxed and at ease, arriving at the mansion on time without fail and returning home on time without delay.

Comparing goods will lead to throwing them away, and comparing people will make you angry. Master Li was envious and sat down without wanting to talk. He had to keep his mind focused to argue with his stubborn student who was full of martial virtues!

"Uncle Li, do you know why the general summoned us?"

I don't know. Li Jiuan shook his head, but when parents talk, whoever teaches the poorest students will be embarrassed, so he was ready to apologize after hearing the news - the first time is strange, the second time is familiar, he is used to it.

"But don't worry, the general is thinking about the difficulty somewhere."

Xie Xin put his fan to his lips and pretended to be sympathetic. "Uncle Li has both talent and ability, and the capable one should take the position."

Patting his old friend on the shoulder, he whispered to him, "There's a rumor going around that the general is taking the young master out. Maybe you'll get paid leave."

The two knew each other well. Although Li Jiuan was older, he was never arrogant. He was even more worried after hearing what he said. He went out and acted crazy, and he couldn't control his heart anymore!

“The older you get, the harder it is to teach!”

Xie Xin could attest, "Young Master wasn't easy to teach when he was little." He comforted his old friend early in the morning, "Don't worry, he's still young and difficult to teach, but I persisted. Now he has a good foundation. Once he opens up, your wisdom in managing the world will shine through him!"

With the two smart heads of him and his wife, they really spent a lot of effort and words to lay the foundation for him.

It’s a pity that Mingxi is a girl, otherwise my old friend wouldn’t have to go to so much trouble to turn a blind eye.

If Yun Xiao could devote some of his passion for martial arts to his studies, it wouldn't be such a headache for the teacher. He is not stupid, he is just not focused on his studies and is not interested in them.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Die stepped in and bowed to the two. Li Jiuan didn't like the singing girl, but the young lady's outstanding dancing skills had always been admired. She was her teacher for many years, so she was considered a colleague. Moreover, his current teaching achievements ranked last...

As a last resort, he stood up and bowed in return.

The maid set out the tea and snacks, bowed, and stepped back. "Three masters, please wait a moment. Someone has been sent to fetch the general. I'll be waiting outside the door. Call me if you need anything."

Xie Xin waved his hand. "I can't wait. It's just right for us to get together for tea and chat."

After saying that, he picked up a hot snowball in one hand and held the preserved fruit shreds to his mouth with the other hand. It was sweet and warm to the heart and stomach. He called to the other two, "Eat and drink. Ask them to bring you whatever you want to eat!"

Lan Die was the first to relax. She called the maid to ask if there was any rice sausage. The maid brought two portions in a short while. The noodles were sweet and tender. She handed over the bamboo chopsticks and said, "They are steamed with freshly ground rice paste. Teacher Lan, please eat them while they are hot."

The rice slurry is ground and then carefully filtered through two coarse filters. A thin layer of rice is poured on it through an airtight bamboo sieve, and then egg liquid and minced fresh shrimp and meat are added. It is then placed in a large pot with boiling steam and steamed. After being scraped with a wooden scraper and poured with a special sauce, the tender, smooth and refreshing rice sausage with a variety of ingredients is freshly baked.

Qin Xiuyuan stepped over the threshold holding Xiao Si in his arms. The three people eating and drinking in the hall looked up at him and immediately covered their mouths, not knowing whether to swallow or spit. It happened too fast and there was no sound at all!

"You guys eat first."

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Half a minute later, they greeted each other again. Xiao Si, sitting on his father's lap, was wearing a long coat and trousers in the same color as the plum blossoms in the snow, and his small shoes and socks were neatly put on. He was playing with the man's big hands while taking off his shoes and socks...

I was playing with the third brother and was almost naked.

Qin Xiuyuan stopped the person from taking off her shoes, pointed at a piece of rice sausage skin that someone had dropped on the ground, and stretched out her hand to touch it...

Before Xiao Si could stretch his hand back, Master Li's old face turned red. He had been eating in a hurry and dropped a small piece!

He is the last in teaching, leaks his mouth when eating, and has trouble going out!

"Please ask the three masters to come over. I have something to discuss with you."

The three men said they dared not, and asked the general to give their orders.

Xiao Si was making a fuss and couldn't sit still, so Qin Xiuyuan picked her up and stood up to touch the carvings of dragons and phoenixes on the doors and windows. The three of them couldn't sit still, so they followed him.

"Mingxi will be traveling with me for a few months, but he must continue to study. Yunxiao is naughty at home and not focused on his studies. The two little ones have even driven the teacher away. Qin would like to hear the three teachers' opinions."
