Father's love is like a mountain

Chapter 13 Social Practice Class (Celebrate EDG winning the championship and more in these two days)

In Xia Yongchu's arms was a chubby, cute creature with big eyes rolling around. It was his half-year-old second son Xia Qixi.

At his feet, there was a lazy civet cat with black stripes on a white background.

The size of the civet cat is already comparable to that of an adult hound, and the family members are used to the existence of this family member.

His wife, Feng Jin, sat beside him, and his concubine, Feng Jin's cousin, Feng Jin, stood beside Feng Jin.

Feng Jin had a worried look on his face, "Husband, do you really want Lie Er and the others to do that Lao Shizi's 'social practice'?"

Xia Yongchu said in a flat tone: "I have made arrangements, so don't talk too much. A loving mother has many losers, so don't interfere in this matter. I have to let Lie'er and the others go through some trials. Don't worry, he is only 6 years old. If you know the seriousness, you won't put him in danger."

The little concubine, the concubine, hesitated to speak.

She thought to herself that it is true that a loving mother loses her son in this world, but the cousin is probably worried about the Xia family's loving father losing her son.

Who doesn't know that the most beloved person in Xia Mansion is you, the master?

As for the cousin not wanting Lie Er to participate in any social practice, it was mainly because of rumors in the market that there were ghosts haunting the neighboring counties, and she was worried that Lie Er would be contaminated with something unclean.

It's not that Lie'er is afraid of suffering.

However, before she got married, Feng Yu was taught by her family how to survive as a concubine, so she naturally knew that she should not talk too much at this time.

Even if Feng Jin is her cousin, she married to help her cousin.

In recent years, Xia Mansion's influence has been expanding day by day, and its business has spread all over Chu, and even other big countries.

Moreover, the Xia Mansion is not just a business family. Mr. Xia has many old stories in the court, so he can be regarded as an official family.

In recent years, the Xia family has not released any more seeds for studying, but there are a few scholars supported and funded by the third master, who have already graduated from high school and have been released as officials.

And six years ago, after the third master announced the new merit calculation and incentive methods, the entire Xiafu was full of vitality, and everyone rushed to work hard.

Therefore, Xia Mansion has gathered many guests in recent years, and there are countless guests, and many spokespersons have been installed in the court hall.

Many Jianghu sects, even aristocrats, princes and generals, frequently traveled with Xia Mansion.

There are rumors that even the prince of the current dynasty is considering getting married to the Xia family, and wants Xia Qilie to marry the daughter of the palace.

It may not be without cause.

As for the actual head of the Xia mansion, Mr. Xia, of course, is also the main target of befriending and investing by various forces.

What is a good gift for a man?

Gold and silver are too vulgar, but antiques and literary toys are okay, and magic weapons are also good.

In addition, everyone knows that Mr. Xia likes to seek immortals and ask questions, so some ancient books and methods of cultivating immortals (fake) are naturally suitable for gifting.

But the most suitable gift is still a beauty.

There is no man who does not like beautiful women.

Every year, those who are given to Mr. Xia from outside are collected from all over the world, and there are not many beautiful beauties who are good at style.

Although Xia Sanye respects Feng Jin as a guest and has not taken other women into the house for the time being, Feng Jin's position is unbreakable in a short time.

But the Feng family already has a sense of crisis.

There are so many stunning beauties at home, what if my uncle wants to try something new one day?

A man's mind is the hardest to guess, but it has always been the easiest to guess.

There is no lecherous man in the world.

So after the Feng family discussed it, they sent Tang Shu Fengjin's daughter, Feng Pei, over to Mr. Xia as a concubine.

This Fengjin is also well-known in the local area, and is known as the number one beauty in the nearby counties and counties. She is even more beautiful than Fengjin, and she is still young. She is not inferior to those beauties gathered from all over the world. .

After she got married, she was very favored.

But Feng Mi is very sensible, she will not intentionally compete for favor, everything is given priority to her cousin, and she is usually taken care of by Feng Jin.

Here Xia Yongchu comforted his wife a few words, and asked the servants to call some children over.

……

Xia Yongchu's several children, including the eldest son Xia Qilie, adopted sons Xia Qiying, Xia Qixiong, Xia Qiwen, Xia Qiwu, and two young girls, Xia Qilan and Xia Qizhi, were all waiting in the yard outside the study.

Xia Qilie is the youngest, only 6 and a half years old, but he is faintly the core of everyone, surrounded by righteous brothers and sisters who are much older than him.

This is not only because he is the eldest son of Mr. Xia, but also because he has some characteristics that make people who are not as strong as him listen and obey him involuntarily.

His demeanor is also far calmer than that of an average 6-year-old child.

"What did father ask us to come here for?" Xia Qilan was always straightforward.

Xia Qilie looked like a young adult, and said maturely: "Li Nan told me that my father intends to let us go out to do social practice."

"social practice?"

Hearing this weird and awkward name, several brothers and sisters of Xia Qilie looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xia Qiwen, who is usually introverted but very smart, nodded thoughtfully, "I remember my father occasionally used the word 'society', which seemed to mean that all living beings have all kinds of conditions? As for practice, as the name suggests, it is to practice on the ground. .I guess, Father wants us to truly experience all kinds of living beings."

Xia Qiwen is the oldest among Xia Yongchu's children, and he is 13 years old this year; he is the first to learn, and he is also well-known for his knowledge and memorization. "The next generation of the Xia Mansion is the most likely person to obtain fame"—although he will not actually take the exam.

Since he said so, he must be right.

"Experience life's vicissitudes," said 11-year-old Xia Qilan, who was still somewhat naive and romantic. "Then, should we learn from my parents, farming in the fields, and washing clothes by the river?"

"Xiaolan!" Xia Qizhi, who was one year older than her, said sharply, "Father and mother are kind enough to allow you to meet your biological parents, but you have to remember that kindness is not as good as raising kindness. Your parents only have one." , your father is the third master of the Xia Mansion, and your mother is the third grandma of the Xia Mansion, don’t get me wrong. Your parents never go down to tend the crops!”

Xia Qizhi, who was usually gentle and obedient, suddenly half-faced and scolded others, but Xia Qilan was so frightened that she muttered, "Understood, sister!" and dared not say anything more.

There was a "puchi" next to it, and someone laughed.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and it turned out to be Xia Qiying.

Xia Qiying, who is about to turn 13, is a rare tall and strong boy among boys of the same age. He is at least half a head taller than his brothers and sisters, and his figure is comparable to that of an adult.

Obviously, he is bound to grow into a burly man in the future.

"You really can't even talk about it?" Xia Qiying sneered, "We are just the adopted son and adopted daughter of Mr. Xia. Do you understand that we are just like the cat raised by Mr. Xia."

"Azhi, if you are really sensible and sober, just remember this, don't really think of yourself as the master of the Xia Mansion. Look at those servants, they are still respectful to us on the surface, but who really treats you When the master saw it?"

As he said that, he hugged Xia Qilie's shoulders cynically, and said with a smile: "The official master of Xia's mansion is here. Isn't it, my good 'brother'?"

He specially accentuated the word "brother", with a playful tone.
