Hu Chunniang suppressed her smile, came in waving her fan, and said enthusiastically, "Oh, sister-in-law, I was missing you these few days and wanted to visit you at your house, but unexpectedly you came in person."

Aunt Tan Yushu was holding Tan Lijin in her arms, coaxing her like a baby.

Chi Li's series of bewildering behaviors really fooled her.

Originally, according to her personality, if someone dared to treat her good grandson like this, she would get mad on the spot.But Chi Li is not an ordinary person. He is a descendant of the eminent monk Du'er, a person whom the emperor valued. Tan Yushu relied on him for his success. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that this was not someone to offend.

But is there something wrong with this magic master? Why is he bullying such a young child!

Fortunately, Hu Chunniang came at this time, and Tan Yushu's eldest aunt didn't have to be in a dilemma anymore, she stuffed Tan Lijin into his mother's arms, warmly took Hu Chunniang's hand to ask her how she was, and let the trouble go.

In the warm atmosphere, there was no quarrel between the two people at all.

Hu Chunniang also chatted with her enthusiastically, but she didn't know what this tricky old woman was doing here.

According to the customary practice of the Yong Dynasty, if civil servants are of the third rank and military officials are of the second rank, they can directly serve as officials in the shadow of future generations.

Tan Yushu now has three Enyin places, but he has no heirs yet, so they will naturally be given to the clan.

There is no problem of reluctance to give it to the clan, because the reward of kindness is not a fixed share for each official rank, but every time when the emperor is happy, he will reward a batch of rewards every time Daqing, auspicious births, new year festivals, etc. It doesn't have to be in your hands.

Therefore, people in the clan are now desperately trying to get in touch with Tan Yushu, wanting to get him this time.

Of Tan Yushu's three places, one was recommended by him to be an official, and the other was taken away by Hu Chunniang and given to her third brother's son, Tan Yushu's cousin.

The people of the Tan family were very anxious when they saw it. They were afraid that Tan Yushu would be elbowed outward by his mother and would be given to the Hu family, so they wrote and asked again and again.

Tan Yushu's eldest aunt couldn't sit still anymore, and wanted to seek fame for her younger son who was about the same age as Tan Yushu.

Hu Chunniang scolded her mother from the bottom of her heart, begged her son, and gave her eye drops, hum, don't think about it being so easy!

He smiled and said: "Hey sister-in-law, don't talk about it here, the men may have important things to talk about, so we sisters find a quiet place to talk about ourselves alone. My niece and daughter-in-law also came with their children. It's been a long time since I saw this group of little babies, and I'm going to make my aunt very rare!"

The relatively small Shuyin suddenly took clumsy steps, rushed over, and called sweetly: "Auntie hugs! After being hugged by auntie, can auntie share some of the good looks with me? I also Want to look good!"

Hu Chunniang: ...

She was just being polite at first, who likes these annoying little brats, but how can this little girl like Shu Yin be so good at talking!Nothing like her grandma!

Suddenly his heart softened, and he hugged the little girl in his arms with a happy smile.

In fact, there is no need to ask, the last spot is also for their room, who made the eldest brother and her dead ghost be brothers of the same mother?In the entire Tan family, Dafang's line is the closest to theirs.

The fifth child of the Dafang family is the most up-to-date of the younger generation. In the future, in the officialdom, they will have to be tied together. If one prospers and everyone loses, this quota will not be given to the twelfth child, but priority must be given to the child of the fifth child.

It's just that her sister-in-law is really annoying. If she can talk a little like Xiao Shuyin, Hu Chunniang won't be so angry.

Although Tan Yushu's eldest aunt was unclear, the daughter-in-law she chose was indeed a smart one. Seeing that her daughter had won Hu Chunniang's favor, she immediately stepped forward to say good things, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

The female relatives took their children and went to the back hall with Hu Chunniang, but they seemed to have forgotten one more thing.

The rest of the people looked at Tan Liying who was obediently lying in Tan Yushu's arms, eating spicy chips slowly...

Can such a big child really not see!

Tan Yuqing looked at Tan Liying and ordered, "Go find your mother."

Tan Liying glanced at him, then lowered his head and gnawed on the spicy chips as if no one was there.

Tan Yuqing usually didn't take care of children, but Tan Liying ignored him, so he was helpless and frowned deeply.

Tan Yushu hurriedly said, "I liked Liying as soon as I saw him, so let him stay here with me for a while."

Putting the person on his lap, he smiled and said, "What would Liying want to eat? Tell Thirteenth Uncle, Thirteenth Uncle will buy it for you."

Tan Liying glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "I want to drink water."

Seeing that he answered irrelevant questions and looked not very smart, Tan Yuqing couldn't help but sighed a long time.

Fortunately, Tan Yushu was always patient, smiled, and asked the people below to bring some rock sugar and mung bean soup to relieve the heat, thirst, and greasy, and brought some desserts that children like to eat, and then chatted with Tan Yuqing.

They mostly talked about what books they were reading recently, what happened in the court hall, and Chi Li was not interested in these messy things at all, so he looked at Tan Liying.

Tan Liying's eating looks very refined, but he eats a lot, comparable to Tan Yushu, taking small bites after bites.

He picked up the bowl and took a few sips of the soup, then stared at the dim sum on the plate in a daze.

This is the "Rainbow Series Small Cake" newly launched by Baixuege. Each cake has a different color and pattern, and a few seasonal fruits are dotted on the top of the cream, which looks very beautiful.

Tan Liying watched with blinking eyes, although she wanted to eat it very much, but she was reluctant to spoil "Hua Hua".

Just as he was hesitating, a hand with beautiful blossoms held one of the red rose cakes in his hand. Tan Liying looked along the hand and saw the fierce monk stuffing the small cake in one gulp. into the mouth.

Tan Liying: ...

Huahua was eaten...

His eyes fell on the fiery red roses around the monk's neck and on the back of his hand again. Was it because he ate a lot of flowers that his body was covered with flowers?

Blinking his eyes, he stretched out his little hand and put one of them into his mouth, he really wanted to bloom all over it.

Chi Li squinted his eyes and snorted softly, what a stupid kid.

On the other side, Tan Yushu and Tan Yuqing chatted all over the world, and soon they talked about the quota of Enyin.

Facing Tan Yuqing, Tan Yushu didn't intend to show off, and said bluntly that he was going to give him this spot. Tan Yuqing felt very ashamed when she heard this.

His coming this time was purely forced by his mother. His mother was always worried that the thirteenth brother was not related, so she gave this spot to others and asked him to beg for her own brother.

Tan Yuqing is a scholar with a lot of backbone. In his opinion, the twelfth younger brother can take the exam on his own.

What's more, this is the fame that the thirteenth brother earned by studying hard in a poor window and earning it through life and death. It's really hard for others to comment on it.

But the old lady and wife at home kept pestering him, and he was really helpless, so he could only come here with a cheeky face.

As a result, before he could open his mouth, the thirteenth brother took the initiative to give up the quota, which made him feel extremely ashamed. He felt deeply that his old mother treated the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, so he took the initiative to stand up and ask Tan Yushu for his own mother. Make amends with his mother.

Seeing this, Tan Yushu immediately stood up, put Li Ying down temporarily, and told him not to be so polite.

This last spot was originally planned to be given to his fifth brother, but it was best for his fifth brother to decide who to give it to. The reason was naturally the two mistresses of his fifth brother's family.

Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came together, the purpose of coming may not be the same.

The women here have been confined in the inner house all their lives, and their father, brother and husband may not be counted on. The only reliable hope is their own son.

So after his five brothers came out, his aunt would try her best to plan for her youngest son, and his sister-in-law probably wanted to plan for her son even more. After all, if a younger uncle kissed again, how could his own son kiss.

So Tan Yushu handed over the right to dispose of the quota to his fifth brother, and let him make things difficult between the two women. He didn't want to interfere in the family affairs.

After negotiating this matter, Tan Yushu went to hold Xiao Liying, but he never expected that he would run up to Chi Li and stare at him.

Chi Li raised his chin, what is this little bastard looking at him for?

Because he raised his chin, the red rose around his neck became more conspicuous. Little Liying's big eyes were flickering, and she climbed on his lap and watched motionlessly.

Looking at the two of them, Tan Yushu always felt that one big and one small were alike, so he couldn't help but smile immediately: "Li Ying, do you want Master Miaofa to hug you?"

Tan Liying stared at him blankly, and rarely responded. She nodded, and Tan Yushu poked Chi Li with a smile: "Brother Chi!"

Pond: ...

What are you doing!He hates children the most!

But looking at those dark eyes like stagnant water, he frowned, and still stretched out two big hands to lift him up.

Tan Liying was caught in his arms, blinked, and reached out to touch the flowers on his neck.

Chi Li was stiffened by his touch, and immediately glared at Tan Yushu viciously, look at your nephew!

Tan Yushu: ...

Ha, it's rare that Brother Chi also met his opponent.

Tan Yushu held back his laughter, but Tan Yuqing couldn't stand it anymore, and said slowly and majesticly: "Liying, don't mess around with Master."

Tan Liying stopped moving, glanced at him, then turned around, and grabbed Chi Li's hand, looking at the flowers on the back of his hand.

Tan Yuqing: ...

Tan Yuqing was unavoidably displeased when her children refuted her face again and again, and coughed heavily: "Li Ying! Be obedient!"

Tan Liying hadn't said anything yet, but Chi Li sneered first: "Since you have never fulfilled your obligations as a father, why should you let the child listen to you?"

As soon as these hard words came out, the air instantly became silent.

Tan Yuqing's eyes widened slowly, what did Master Miaofa's words... mean?

He didn't know Chi Li very well, and he was a scholar with a soft personality. He had never been robbed like this before, and he was suddenly stunned by Chi Li's unceremonious attitude.

Tan Yushu smiled, Brother Chi would really give him a problem, but soon, he made an accurate translation.

"Hey, Master Miaofa is outspoken, so he speaks without any scruples. The reason why he speaks so harshly is really worried about you, fifth brother."

Tan Yuqing looked at him blankly, and Tan Yushu began to tell the story without blinking.

"In the past, the eminent monk who crossed the river traveled in the world, and when he was hungry and thirsty, a farmer gave him a ladle of water. As a token of gratitude, the eminent monk who crossed the river granted the farmer a wish."

"The farmer was very happy, just when his wife was pregnant, so he made a wish, hoping that he would give him a perfect son."

"The eminent monk Du'er smiled slightly, then took out a golden lotus seed from his bosom, and told the couple to plant it in a water tank. Every night, they sincerely wished the lotus seed a blessing. After ten days, when the golden lotus bloomed, the child would be born." He will grow into what they hoped for, and he must do what he says! Exactly!"

"The couple are very grateful. On the first night, they expressed their wish to Lianzi: I hope the child is healthy!"

"As soon as the words fell, the lotus seeds in the vat sprouted, and the whole body exuded a golden brilliance, shrouded in this golden light, and the pregnant wife also felt that she was full of energy. The couple were immediately overjoyed, and they arrived the next day as promised. "

"It's just that the farmer was really tired from working during the day. When praying, his wife sincerely expressed his second wish: I hope their son will be rich and wealthy!" In the past, when I saw the lotus in the tank grew a little bit as usual, it seemed that there was no difference, and I wondered in my heart, do two people really have to be there?"

"With this idea, on the third day, after making a wish of 'I hope my son will be smart', the farmer asked his wife to make a wish on his behalf. He had to work the next day, and he was really tired, so he wanted to go to bed early and rest. .”

"My wife can't hold him back, so I can only make a promise on my own: filial piety, kindness, hard work, bravery, loyalty, humility, benevolence, and all the virtues that a person can have are added to this lotus seed. On the last day, the golden light of the lotus in the tank completely disappeared, and a black lotus bloomed."

Tan Yuqing is a scholar, and it is easy to be immersed in the stories constructed by other people's words. She immediately asked: "Then this black lotus born because of breaking the promise, will it cause unknown things?"

Tan Yushu nodded immediately: "My fifth brother expected it right. The moment the lotus flower bloomed, the child was born. The family hoped that the child would grow up as they wished. Tired parents, a lot of ill-gotten wealth, and even turned into a bandit in the end."

"Decades later, the eminent monk Du'er thought of this family again to see if they had fulfilled their wishes, but he saw an old man and an old lady supporting each other tremblingly, burning paper money for a barren grave, and seeing Du Er Gaoseng, stepped forward to fight immediately, accusing this demon monk of harming them, making their son arrogant and arrogant, becoming a bandit and a thief, and finally ended up with his head on the ground."

"The eminent monk Du'e was shocked, and immediately rushed to the farmer's house, but saw a black lotus growing in the vat, he pinched his fingers, immediately sighed, and sighed."

"That golden lotus seed is the cleanest and most magical thing in the world. If it is cultivated properly, it can become a perfect golden lotus. And pure things are most likely to be contaminated by yin and yang evil spirits. They need a pair of sincere parents, one yin and one yang, Only by watering it with sincere thoughts can all evils be kept away, and this golden lotus can be formed."

"I spent all my time talking and admonishing, but it only took you three days to disobey what I said."

"This sacred lotus needs the nourishment of both yin and yang. Now that this yang is missing, the yin and evil monsters will take advantage of the emptiness and come in. It's a good thing, but you have forcibly raised it into a monster. It's sad! It's a pity!"

"The husband and wife were struck by lightning, especially the old man who regretted it the most. A misstep caused eternal hatred. He was the one who harmed his 'Lian'er'!"

After the story was told, Tan Yuqing was suddenly infatuated, and always felt that this story seemed to have unfinished meaning.

Tan Yushu sighed softly, and said slowly, "After listening to this story, I always feel that it's not the old man who is sad, but all the parents and 'Lian'er' in the world."

"As soon as a child is born, all of them hope that their son will become a dragon. However, a child is like a pure and pure lotus seed. It needs to be nourished by the yin and yang of its parents to become a golden lotus that is unique in the world. There are many fathers in this world who entrust their children to their mothers to raise them alone. If things go on like this, mother dotes on you, and father doesn't care about it, how can you know that you won't attract evil spirits?"

"Master Miaofa spoke harshly because he saw that the 'Lianzi' raised by you, fifth brother, is in danger of being invaded by evil spirits!"

Tan Yuqing was startled. He used to study hard to get fame, and usually pushed his children to his wife and mother without asking questions.

Thinking about it now, Li Xuan and Li Qing are stubborn, Li Jin is overbearing, and Li Ying is stupid, none of them are worthy of great responsibility. This may be the reason why he rarely teaches.

With just a few words, Tan Yuqing immediately got up and bowed to Chi Li like a sudden enlightenment.

Although Master Miaofa has angry eyes, he has a bodhisattva heart, and his words awaken the dreamer!

Pond: ...

Turning his head to express his gaze: that seems to be your cousin.

Tan Yushu blinked, and also conveyed a meaning: It doesn't matter, my brother is not as important as you, Brother Chi.
