Chapter 7 Mu Shaoai

In the evening, when Old Master Yue walked into Hemingxuan, he didn't notice that there was a missing Qingyin. Instead, he saw Yue Qianqiu flirting with books at a glance.

Although the scene of a little guy with short arms and short legs carefully reading books was really funny, he remembered that his youngest son was born after he became an official, and he liked to linger in the study since he could remember, and he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.

After all, the old man was a person with extremely firm mind, and he seemed to be so confused. He only took a moment to see Yue Qianqiu finally saw him. He quickly put down his book and stood up and ran over and called grandpa. He smiled and nodded, and went to change his clothes first. When he came out, he had already changed into a casual home robe.

Soon, a large family of Yue Mansion arrived one after another and stood in a room full of people.

Just looking at the dozens of people who are the same as me and younger generations, Yue Qianqiu can easily understand why others are so envious and jealous of him.

Old Master Yue, who has a lot of descendants, still needs to pick up a child to be raised as a grandson? Even if you are afraid that the fourth master of the youngest son will be defeated, it is not easy to choose one of the grandsons to adopt him?

Old Master Yue is an old widower. Only when a lot of people in the three rooms and a lot of people die early every day will Yue Qianqiu meet the three nominal aunts, the eldest wife and the third wife.

Old Master Yue, who was born in grassroots, hired three daughters-in-law who were not in high positions and had a bright future, all had considerable wealth and background.

The eldest wife, Jin, was graceful and dignified. When she was an old man or a county magistrate, she was the boss of the old man and the daughter of the dignified prefect.

Although the second wife Yan's family background was a little weak, after the old man's term as a county magistrate expired, a local scholarly family was moved by his fairness in the case and did not fear power, so he married his daughter.

But Yue Qianqiu felt from the gossip of the people that the old man's precedent that obviously helped the Yan family was not drunk at all, but to balance the local aristocratic families and poor scholars. It was a surprise to have a daughter-in-law.

The third wife, Qin, has a wealthy family and has been rich for generations. She now manages the expenses of the family, which is a great deal for everyone.

It is said that the fourth wife, who scared away his "adoptive father" fourth master before entering the door, was actually the daughter of the general.

After the marriage was ruined, the Zuo Prime Minister at that time wanted to marry the family as his daughter-in-law, but was intercepted by the Minister of War. Now the third son, who had once been sleeping in Hualiu, dared not be bothered outside.

At this moment, after everyone bowed and said something to Mr. Yue as usual, the second and second wife and Mr. Third, took their children to quit. However, the eldest wife did not move, but stayed with the eldest son.

When the old man saw this situation, he knew that the eldest lady had something to say, and immediately said straightforwardly: "Dalang, help your mother sit down and talk."

The eldest young master Yue Tingzhong is twenty-six years old this year, and he has a son and a daughter. He is fine if he is a father of Yue Qianqiu at age, but in front of the old man Yue, he is more cramped than Yue Qianqiu.

His appearance was as good as his parents, and he seemed to be more elegant and not as elegant as he could. At this moment, he helped his mother sit down as he said. After standing next to him, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Yue Qianqiu.

Of course, Yue Qianqiu would not ignore the scrutiny of the cheap elder brother. He looked back with a smile. Seeing that the other party could not bear it first, he avoided his eyes and looked elsewhere. Then he looked at the eldest wife again.

Compared to his son, the eldest lady was much more calm. She didn't care about Yue Qianqiu's gaze at all. Instead, she nodded and smiled at him gently. Then she owed to Old Master Yue: "Old Master, Qianqiu and Chang'an are both seven years old, and they are at the age of school. According to their qualifications, Mr. Ordinary has delayed them."

Seeing that Old Master Yue was obviously listening to his words attentively, the eldest lady felt a little more confident, and then further slowed down her tone: "At the time before, my brother from my family wrote a letter and recommended a Mr. Qiu. He said that he was a wise man who the emperor could not afford to repeatedly, and he wrote countless books and said that he had a lot of disciples all over the world. He said that he would not teach him now that the last group of disciples who had closed their doors had become a disciple."

Speaking of this, the eldest lady smiled and looked at Yue Qianqiu and said, "Qianqiu grew up with the old man since childhood. She is smart and natural. Why not take Chang'an with her uncle and nephew to try it together. If you are lucky enough to get started, you will be able to take your family to take care of you in the future, and you will be supported by your teachers and senior brothers, whether you study or your future, you will be twice the result with half the effort."

Old Master Yue pondered for a moment and said without hesitation: "You are intent. Dalang, your father has been an official for several years, and your mother is taking care of your children and grandchildren at home, working hard every day, you must be filial to her."

Yue Tingzhong had always been arrogant in front of his grandfather, and he quickly agreed. After the eldest wife finished speaking, she naturally would not stay in Hemingxuan, and she stood up and left.

Before leaving, she looked at Yue Qianqiu again, but saw the adopted son of Yue who had caused a lot of trouble in the mansion for two days. He waved at her with a smile, as if saying goodbye.

The eldest lady didn't mention Qing Yin at all. She knew very well that the old man didn't care about the two girls in Hemingxuan during the day. She could solve this trivial matter by simply choosing someone.

After all, only the one who can stay in this inner study after the old man comes back every day is the confidant. Apart from Yueying, it is the big girl who specializes in serving Yue's pens and ink in the back room and daily life.

The eldest lady is gone, Yue Qianqiu will not mention Qingyin, and of course she will not talk about the farce of stealing books in the afternoon.

He stepped forward and grabbed the old man's sleeve, and said seriously: "Grandpa, I beg you something."

"Huh?" Old Master Yue thought Yue Qianqiu was going to talk about the schooling mentioned by the eldest lady, so he raised his eyebrows playfully. But the next moment, he was surprised.

"I want to stay Luoxia. It's too early for her to get married."

Old Master Yue took a little divine to remember who Luoxia was. He was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Little bastard, you know you're lustful at such a young age?"

Yue Qianqiu has long been accustomed to the swear words that pop up from time to time from old man Yue.

The old man never concealed his poor background, shallow knowledge, and dry literary talent... In the old man's own words, he was born to remember countless most complex numbers, but he could only memorize the Analects of Confucius. Other classics and history were all careless, so it was natural fortunate to be a minister of the Ministry of Revenue from a county to a minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

So, facing such a grandfather who likes to be straightforward at home, Yue Qianqiu is naturally very frank: "Grandpa, I'm not used to changing people around me. Besides, Luoxia is only sixteen, stay for two years, and let her get married at the age of eighteen. Then I'm older, and I can choose a good man myself and marry her like a daughter."

"How old are you? Why are you talking about marrying a daughter? How many years older is enough to be your mother!" Old Master Yue smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth, rubbed Yue Qianqiu's head like a palm fan several times, and finally he pulled up the article in a few ways.

"If there are few people, they admire their parents; if they know that they are lustful, they admire their young ai; if there are wives, they admire their wives; if they are not allowed to be with them, they will be in a state of enthusiasm."

Seeing Yue Qianqiu blinking his eyes, Old Master Yue asked with a smile: "Do you know what it means?"

The old man rarely has the ancient temperament. Yue Qianqiu will naturally not be disgraceful. He shook his head very cooperatively: "I don't know."

"When people are young, they admire their parents; when they grow up, they know how to pursue young and beautiful girls; when they have wives and children, they are obsessed with wives and children; when they become officials, they please the king; when they are not happy with the king, they are anxious."

As Mr. Yue said that, he slapped his thigh and shouted: "I have never liked Mencius. There is still half of this sentence after this. It means that Shun among the Five Emperors is so loyal and filial. If I ask me to say it, it is just a pure fart. But just the first few words are simply a famous saying!"

"So, little brat, you can barely grow up today if you can keep someone with me."
