Chapter 63 Small Abacus

When Jinxi arrived at Mengde Hall, Mr. Yun Zong was still eating. She took the spoon from Magpie's hand with a busy face and obediently filled a bowl of soup for Mr. Yun Zong and handed it to him.Before Mr. Yun Zong scolded her as a weasel, he smiled and said: "Mr. has something to do, and the disciple will do his job. There is absolutely no other meaning."

Mr. Yun Zong snorted, and didn't like Jin Xi's set at all, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and if you dare to play tricks, your homework will be doubled."

"It's really nothing!" Jinxi was holding vegetables and pouring wine, and after working for a long time, he suppressed his voice like a mosquito, "Please enlighten Xiyi."

The chopsticks in Mr. Yun Zong's hand slapped on the table, and he shouted: "Take back all these useless idle thoughts, don't think that I don't know your little plans. Rather than expecting brothers to remember your kindness and help you in the future , it’s better to read a few more books, and don’t cut off the incense of Ghost Valley!”

"An insight into the world is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is the article." Jinxi is not usually thick-skinned, Yun Zong first pointed out the small calculation in her heart, not only did not feel embarrassed, but put the chopsticks back into Yun Zong with a smile In Mr.'s hand, "Don't worry, I just want him to be famous here, so that you won't be tired. I will teach him to read and write these small things, and I will take it as my way to open the altar for the future and spread the ghost valley. Incense, practice in advance."

"Nonsense!" Mr. Yun Zong raised his beard angrily, and opened the altar. Does she want to catch demons or ghosts?Is the incense of Guigu passed down in this way?Besides, since when did his threshold for accepting apprentices become so low that even a baby boy can have his name here?

Jin Xi ignored Mr. Yun Zong's objection, and swayed to the bookshelf by himself.Turning the pages and chanting, this book is too difficult, this book is too easy, this book has indecent words, and this book’s calligraphy is not beautiful.In short, it took me a long time to choose a book that was not suitable for Xiyi to use.The voice of chanting became louder and louder, his eyes didn't look at the book at all, and he kept glancing at Mr. Yun Zong's face.This old man is typically hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and if he says a few more words, he will probably make a condition.

Sure enough, taking the initiative is the only way to negotiate.When Jin Xi turned to No. 20, Mr. Yun Zong stood up abruptly, took out a book from the corner of the bookcase, and threw it on her head without saying a word.Jin Xi rubbed his aching forehead, picked up the book from the ground and glanced at it, laughing wildly in his heart.Xiao Mian, shake with me, Mr. Yun Zong is no match!

Jinxi walked out happily holding the copy of "Seeing the Good and Thinking Together", and Mr. Yun Zong contributed all the booklets he had compiled for her a few days ago, and he said he didn't want to accept Xiyi?When he came to the door, Mr. Yun Zong suddenly said, "Recognize ten characters and memorize one poem every day. If he can't finish it, just do what you should do honestly!"

Your request is not high, it is simply ridiculously high!Whose three-year-old child can recognize ten characters and recite a poem every day?Jin Xi staggered and almost tripped over the threshold, her mood suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom.On purpose, this old man deliberately hit her in this way, but she refused to let him succeed!Isn't it just ten words, one poem, what's the big deal!
Knowing that Mr. Yun Zong wanted to take Xiyi as his apprentice, the second lady couldn't sit still any longer, and hurried to the Crane Hall to find the old lady.Before entering the hospital, I heard a loud child's voice.It turned out that Xiyi was reciting poems clearly.The cadence was very smooth, and the gloom in the second lady's heart suddenly appeared in her eyes.Across the wall of Fendai courtyard, hearing the old lady repeatedly praise Xiyi for being smart, the second lady couldn't hold back her anger any longer, she punched the weeping willow by the roadside, gritted her teeth in hatred, and didn't even notice that the skin on the back of her hand was scratched .

The old lady was leaning under the grape arbor, watching Xiyi reciting poems shaking her head, and when she looked up, she saw the second lady and her maids and servants rushing in. Recite this poem!"

The second lady forced a smile, and followed the old lady's thoughts and said: "Brother Yi, you are as smart as the second master!" Jin Xi who was on the side was really sour when he heard it, and secretly admired the second lady for her patience and cultivation.Seeing the old lady nodding repeatedly with a smile on her face, she felt another headache. Don't you always know how to compare your heart with your heart?You don't like to see your stepson get lucky, does your daughter-in-law like to see your bastard prosper?The second lady rushed to say these words against her will, she must have other plans.Why don't you know what to do?
Sure enough, Jin Xi guessed it right, and the second lady changed the subject, and her praises turned into regrets, "Hey! It's just a pity that such a thing happened, and the good looks were ruined, otherwise Brother Yi would be able to honor his ancestors!"

"Brother Yi's face will be scarred?" The old lady was a little surprised, and the second lady wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, "No, first she was scratched by that unscrupulous evil obstacle of Hongxiao, and then fell into the water and was startled. Doctor It is said that [-]% will leave scars. As you can see, the Xueha ointment I personally asked for from my aunt has not improved much after using it for a few days! It's a pity..."

The old lady hurriedly asked Nanny Zhou to lead Xiyi to her, and ordered her servants to fetch water to wash off the ointment on Xiyi's face.She looked closely at Xiyi's small face, and sure enough, the blood scab on Xiyi's face had fallen off, only a thin layer of new flesh had grown, and the wound was surrounded by dark purple bruises.There are so many purple scars the size of broad beans scattered on the small porcelain-like face, which is oozing.The old lady gasped, and then looked at Xiyi, her eyes couldn't help but become complicated.

Ganoderma lucidum has not let him look in the mirror these days, and Xiyi doesn't know what his face has become.He didn't care because it didn't hurt anymore.Frightened by the old lady's expression at this moment, he subconsciously reached out and touched his face, touched the uneven skin, he was stunned for a while, turned to look at Jin Xi and cried, "Sister, isn't it?" Did you say my face is healed? Am I turning into an ugly monster!"

"Who said Brother Yi is ugly? Brother Yi is the most beautiful child." Jin Xi secretly tugged on the sleeve of Ganoderma lucidum, motioning her to go and take Xiyi away.Ganoderma lucidum's face turned pale with fright, and she probably didn't notice that Jin Xi was tugging on her sleeve.Jin Xi was so angry that she wanted to slap this bastard, so she had to go forward and hold Xiyi's hand, and said with a smile: "You are a boy and not a girl. What does it matter if you have a handsome face? The important thing is the stomach There are articles and skills in it!"

"But... my mother said that ugly people can't be high-ranking officials. I... I can't earn that hat full of big pearls for my grandmother." Xiyi choked on her promise.As soon as these words came out, the old lady immediately showed emotion. It turned out that the child really missed her, but it's a pity...

The regret on the old lady's face naturally did not escape the eyes of the second lady, she pulled Xiyi closer and smiled and said: "Brother Yi can't study to become an official, but you can also help your mother check the accounts of the Zhuangzi and the shop, and you can Earn money to honor our ancestors!"

"Really?" Xiyi's eyes lit up, and she shook her head immediately, "But that kind of hat with big pearls can't be bought with money, brother Yi must study!"

A tendon of Xiyi hit Jinxi's arms, but the second lady was so angry that she wanted to slap him twice.In front of the old lady, she had no choice but to suppress her anger, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Brother Yi is so filial. Mother took you to the most famous doctor, and she must find a way to heal the wound on your face. Let Brother Yi earns a royal order for the ancestors!"

Jin Xi has seen with her own eyes what the sword is called, and the second lady made such a big detour just to take Xiyi away.It is easy to take it away, but it is even more difficult to send it to the old lady.If the second lady succeeds, her efforts these days will be in vain!
"Mr. said that a man's husband stands in the world, and only by studying can he understand. Even if Brother Yi can't be an official in the future because of the scar on his face, he will not suffer a loss if he learns more skills from Mr. Mr. Said, not only accepting Brother Yi's bundle Xiu, if mother feels sorry, just let Jiu Yiniang make a few more snacks for Mr., just to express her gratitude." Jinxi secretly changed the concept with a smile, and before the second lady could speak, she turned around and hugged the old lady's arm, " Grandmother doesn't want to see her father's son grow up to be an illiterate fool, does she? Brother Yi is still young, and the scars are getting longer and shallower, and may not be visible when he takes the imperial examination. Let him study with Mr. Yun Zong Bar!"

Nanny Zhou couldn't bear to see Xiyi's future ruined by the second lady's words, so she hurriedly followed Jinxi's words and said, "No, all the children in Zhuangzi didn't have injuries all over their bodies when they were young, but it's not the case when they grow up. Everyone has scars."

"I don't have anything to do here, let Brother Yi stay with me! Inquire about a good doctor, please come here, there is an aunt in your yard who is about to give birth, so how can I care about these things?" the old lady said. Finally, I heard something was wrong from the words of Jin Xi and Zhou Mama, her face darkened, and she said to the second lady: "Sister Xiu and Sister Wen are also grown up, so you have to ask someone to teach you the rules, don't be reluctant to spend money. There are suitable ones. People are also asking slowly, don't think that children are not in a hurry, it takes two years to go through the three teas and six rituals! If there is anything you don't understand here, just ask your sister-in-law."

The second lady blushed with embarrassment, secretly wondering how the old lady was so shrewd, and beat her barbedly during the conversation?Call her a businessman who doesn't understand the twists and turns behind the marriage of aristocratic families?Pooh, I despise my background, don't marry me back then!I was born as a merchant, but my natal family is a well-known imperial merchant. One day I will show you how I married Xiu'er into the incomparably rich Xie family!
"It is said that an old man is better than a treasure. What my mother taught me is that a daughter-in-law does not think carefully about some things when she is young." The second lady adjusted her mentality quickly. Leaving Xiyi could not stop Xiyi from studying, so she immediately changed her smiling face.As long as Jiu Yiniang is held in the palm of his hand, what big waves can Yi Geer, a young brat, make?
The old couple belonged to the kind of people who could be coaxed to death with two kind words. The second lady had been able to predict her temper over the years, so she was able to use the old lady from time to time.Sure enough, hearing what she said, the old lady's expression immediately eased.The thought was suddenly pulled away by the second lady, and she actually planned with the second lady which families were suitable for marriage.

The second lady bit the bullet and accompanied the old lady to chat, this topic was purely inappropriate for children, Jin Xi immediately avoided it tactfully.As soon as he entered the room, Lingzhi followed sneakily, "Miss, can we still use the ointment that the second lady gave the young master?"
