"Why hasn't Aunt returned so late?"

I also quickly walked forward a few steps to support her. "My younger brothers are still young. Seeing that Aunt isn't returning sooner or later, we can't help but be worried!"

Even though I was being polite, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my stomach. While still waiting for me at this time, other than having to do with my three younger brothers, there was nothing else that I needed to do! I had thought that by delaying in my grandmother's room a little longer, I would be able to avoid her, but she was even more patient than I was.

"Miss! "Jia'er, he …" Before she could cry, Aunt Mo spoke up from the courtyard.

Before she could finish, I squeezed her arm. Laughing loudly, he said, "Aunt, it's getting late. I haven't seen my three younger brothers today. Why don't we go over to your place?"

At first, Aunt Mo was stunned, but then she understood what I meant.

Even if he had something to say, he shouldn't say it here.

"Yes!" Yes! Young miss should take a look! "

Aunt Mo still looked as if her soul had left her body.

When they arrived at the Yiyun Pavilion, it was already late. The sky was already dark, and the lights were already on in Aunt Mo's room. In the main room, Second Brother was coaxing Third Brother to sleep. The child was short of spirit, and Third Brother was sleeping soundly on the bed. His face was exceptionally cute and flushed. His second brother was leaning on the bed and patting him, as if he were very good at it. When Aunt Mo and I entered the room, I pulled up the blanket on my brother before bowing to him.

"Where's your big brother?" Aunt Mo was a little agitated, and her tone carried a hint of impatience.

The face of the child, who was looking at his mother with a smile, suddenly changed. With a stern expression, he quietly took a step back. "The big brother is in the east wing."

Seeing second brother's disappointed expression, I couldn't help but sigh to myself.

I thought this child was particularly sensitive the first time I saw him.

Her outstanding older brother had become her mother's pride, while her younger brother was her heart's flesh. He was the only one who was neither as talented as his brother, nor as young and adorable as his younger brother. In the middle of the group, he unavoidably received less attention from his mother. It would be better if he was a open-minded child, but this child was smart and meticulous, it was hard to avoid him walking into the bull's horn.

I looked at the young man who was clenching his fist tightly with his head lowered, with slight pity.

"Did you only look at your brother because your aunt went out?"

Smiling, I reached out to touch his head, but he sidestepped me.

Aunt Mo's expression was rather unsightly as she opened her mouth to reprimand him.

"Is it because the aunt went out that she was afraid that my brother would be scared, so she decided to accompany him?" I stopped Aunt Mo, but I still insisted on asking the child in front of me who was making a ruckus.

He nodded slightly.

"You did so well!" I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but this time he didn't move away.

"Brothers and sisters, this is also the style of a gentleman. Especially since it doesn't matter if other people can't see it and only rely on their own heart to do things. This is the hardest thing to come by. "

The little boy looked up at me in surprise.

For such a sensitive child, not only is preaching useless, but it may also arouse his feelings.

The light flashed through his eyes, and he immediately lowered his head, returning to his previous silent appearance.

I smiled to myself and agreed with what Aunt Mo said when she went to visit her eldest brother.

Yi'er was sitting in front of a long table under a lamp, practicing calligraphy. There were still several boxes piled up beside him, but a black bookshelf was already filled with items behind him.

I've seen children who love to read books, but I've never seen anyone so obsessed with these!

If this situation continued, it was unknown that he would step onto the road of imperial examinations in the future. Coming out from the Elementary Scholar examination, whether it was business or business, he looked better off.

I smiled at the thought of him sitting in the hall and comparing his ways with the stewards of the house.

"Aunt, Sister!" When he saw us come in, he hurriedly put down his pen to welcome us. After walking around the room, we saw a bundle on the bed, a box on the bed, clothes on the chair, and no one sitting in the room. We couldn't help but feel a little perplexed.

"I'm just here to see what you're doing!" I pursed my lips and smiled. "Seeing how diligent you are, we won't disturb you any longer."

He kept his head down and his face flushed. I didn't hear a word for a while.

"You will stay with your big brother tonight. Go and find some maids to help you pack up!" Aunt Mo looked at the messy room and instructed her second son, "Look at this room, it's not properly cleaned up yet!"

I finally understand why this child cares so much about what others think of him!

The reason for all this was because Aunt Mo often felt that this child was the most sensible. Not only did she not pay much attention to him, but she also asked him to do this and that for the other two children.

Even an adult should feel a bit uncomfortable, let alone a five year old child!

Now, he could only hope that he could get Yi'er to put more of his effort into nurturing this second son of his that he had not paid much attention to.

After leaving the east wing, Aunt Mo invited me back to the main room. After the maidservants served the tea, they confirmed that the little bundle lying on the bed was indeed sleeping soundly. Aunt Mo and I chased the servants out and shut the door behind us.

"Miss, do you know what the old lady means?"

I nodded, picked up my teacup, and took a sip.

"Logically speaking, if I don't change concubines, I should be at ease giving my children to Miss. However, Jia'er is only three years old, and usually follows me to sleep. It wouldn't be too late to send her to Miss when she's older! "

Was he prepared to abandon his car?

I thought she would have pitied her second son before he was even old enough to be with her.

Aunt Mo rambled on and on for a long time, repeating the same meaning. Third brother was still too young and couldn't leave his mother. She hoped that I could tell grandma that I would keep this child by her side.

But I never thought of bringing three children!

When my patience was worn out by her, I couldn't help but interrupt her with a few small words, telling her about my plan.

Aunt Mo was silent for a long time before she broke into a smile. She embarrassedly poured me a cup of tea and said, "You're still the little miss, you've thought it through so much!"

Since I've already mentioned the matter of my second brother, I casually reminded Aunt Mo that children of this age have a lot of thoughts. She should spend more time and energy on her second brother. Unexpectedly, Aunt Mo also had a stomach full of bitter water.

"How am I not good to him? Before he had his younger brother, he was going to cry when I hugged him. Fortunately, Yi'er's personality was kind, so he was able to tolerate it. Then there was Gail, and whenever he saw me holding his brother, he put on a sullen face, as if someone owed him something. Then I would ask him whether he wanted his sister or his brother, and the boy would say it wasn't good. Then I went out once, and when I came back and heard the noise in the house, I was really shocked. I ran in and saw that the kid was standing next to his brother's cradle, clutching his throat. I have the same intentions as all the other children, but why did I have to give this child such a temper! "

Parents often feel that they are treating their children fairly, but in the eyes of their children it is often different. Today you kissed him more, tomorrow you gave him sugar but did not give me all the children may become mutual envy.

A child is not afraid of stupidity, is afraid of cleverness but holding the body wrong, bad nature.

Apparently, my second brother is heading in that direction.

However, since Aunt Mo had already put it this way, she might not be able to help her second brother improve his mental state!

I should have thought of a way!

At night, when I went back to the courtyard, I was sitting on the kang with the two maidservants. I couldn't help talking to them about it while I was sewing with the two maidservants. The two maidservants had their own opinions.

"Second Young Master has suffered such grievances at such a young age. It's truly pitiful. "He is just a child, and can't be much of a cripple. Young Miss might as well bring him over and raise him together. Eldest Young Master can also have a companion."

Lan Ling put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at me seriously.

Hearing this, Green Bandits frowned, but he still maintained his composure.

"You tell me too!" I smiled at the Rooster.

"In this servant's foolish opinion, it is better for Miss to have more than less!" The green bandit also stopped sewing. "Nurturing Eldest Young Master was already a hindrance to Miss' reputation, why do you have to add another one? Furthermore, Miss, you are in charge of the family's matters. You are already busy, how can you have the time to make the two young masters eat and sleep together? "It would be fine if she was nurtured well, but if there was even the slightest mistake, wouldn't Miss have wasted all of her efforts?"

The green bandit was a cautious and indifferent person, so it was not surprising that he would say such words.

However, if doing things for the benefit of one's reputation was a bit too much.

One should still rely on one's heart when doing things.

Since they are different people, there would naturally be different standards for their conduct. After listening to the two maids' different views, I didn't refute any of them and only revealed the truth of the matter with a smile.

"The day after tomorrow is Miss Wen's day of travel. I will send her off tomorrow. Did you find the pair I told you to choose yesterday?"

"I took it out of the library and sealed it in a box!" The green bandit in charge of the warehouse answered immediately.

"Have you arranged the carriage?" Now, Lan Lingyun was in charge of the matter of the carriage leaving the Residence.

"I've already made the arrangements, but I don't know when you will leave, and you won't have a wife to follow!" Lan Lingyun hurriedly answered.

"Let's just leave it to mother Song!" I tidied up the situation on the brick bed, and the two maidservants knew that I was about to rest. They hurriedly followed me to clean up. Lan Li asked, "From now on, does Mother Song belong to our family?"

"Why?" I was a little surprised that Lan Lingyun would ask this question: "What's wrong with her?"

"Nothing! "I already guessed that mother Song was left by the Old Ancestor for the young miss. I didn't think that she would actually come into our house today."

After chatting for a while, Lan Ling packed up her things and left, while Lu Kui rested on the brick bed outside.

The next morning at dawn, she went to greet her grandmother. Her grandmother had already recovered a lot, and was currently sitting with Aunt Chen at a round table made of pear wood. After accompanying the two of them for breakfast, she told them that I would be sending off Miss Wen's marriage this afternoon. The grandmother sighed emotionally and said, "This day is truly unbearable. In the blink of an eye, all the children will be married off!" I told my mother to follow me back to the courtyard to find a set of golden crabapple flower heads to help me bring Miss Wen a suitcase.

After I said goodbye to my grandmother, the mama managers were already waiting for me in the parlour. I parted with Mother Du at the main hall door and sent a maid to follow her mother Du to get her head. I went straight to the main hall to listen to Mother Du's words. I know that my father will be back soon. I have just taken over these internal affairs, so I do not dare to carelessly add anything else. I will continue to arrange it according to the past calendar of the eight tables of the outer courtyard and the four tables of the inner courtyard.

"Mother Wang, please stand!" Seeing that my mother's new wife, Wang, was also about to leave, I hurriedly asked her to stay.

This old woman was an old man of the manor. She had always been responsible for the acceptance checks of the items handed over by her grandmother's manor and the servants chosen from the manor. She was a very solemn and respectful person. When I asked my grandmother for someone safe to stay in my mother's yard, she was like I had recommended her.

"Go get mother a teacup and a cup of tea!"

When the two maids saw that I respected this Wang Ma, they naturally respected her as well. The moment I said that, the two of them immediately went to work.

Reaching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention, Wang Ma is half my person, so she has no reason to refute me.

Even Wang Mu, with a polite smile, took the item from Lan Lingyun, thanking her profusely.

"Thank you for your hard work these few days, Mom!" "It's just that my mother's physique is a bit lacking and there are a lot of things happening in the manor these days. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a few more days!"

Mother Wang nodded again and again. "I know what Miss means, I will definitely take good care of it and not let Madame cause any more trouble!"

I couldn't help smacking my tongue at Wang Ma's bluntness.

"Mom, not only must you be careful of what's happening inside, you must also be careful of the outside!"

"Firstly, mother's illness is due to her weak physique and secondly, her heart is a little heavy, which is why she fell into such a dangerous situation. Now, she needs to rest more in peace. However, a new person has recently entered the Li Residence. Since the mother is the primary mother, it is natural for her to have a cup of tea. However, based on the circumstances the mother is currently in, it is unavoidable that she has to put in a bit more effort.

Only then did Wang Ma understand what I meant.

"You are right!"

Seeing that Wang Ma understood what I meant, I ordered Lan Bing to get a few hundred pieces of paper for her to drink before sending her out.

Seeing that Mother Du still hadn't brought Little Sis to meet me, I asked the green bandit to go over to Grandmother's side to see if there was anything that had delayed her, and at the same time told Lan Lingyun to pass the rice.

"It's better if we eat earlier so that we can go take a look at Sister Wen!"

She had wanted to go see her for a long time, but things had been going on at home and she couldn't get out of it. She didn't expect that she would have to go out in just one day.

After parting today, he didn't know when they would meet again.

When she heard that her father and her mother had both taken a step back, and that Master Wen had driven the child's mother out of the house, Madam Wen had decided to accept Wen Chengzu as her husband. She didn't know how the boy was doing in the Wen family.

As he was thinking about these chores, Mother Du brought her grandson and daughter to follow behind Green Bandits through the door.
