After persisting for three or four days, he would wait for me at the same place where I usually ate with him. After eating, he would pay respects to me and then listen to my mother. I sometimes had too little time to eat lunch, and the child silently waited by my side. When I rested and when he sat down, I couldn't help but feel admiration for him.

This is just a five-year-old child!

"Why don't you use the abacus?"

The child sitting across from me asked me with his big eyes, as I was checking out the books from the kitchen this month.

"Because I can calculate!" I gently smiled at him. "Do you want to learn?"

The boy nodded.

He had originally learned how to scheme. As long as he was told the method of mental arithmetic, he would quickly grasp the trick. Having Lan Li take out the account book that her family spent on makeup this month, although he didn't recognize many of the words on it, he quickly calculated the result. He pointed to the "Jade Hairpin Flower Head Oil" on it and read it as "Jade Grass Flower Head Oil", but the number was exactly 1%.

Back then, I had already planned for more than ten years, and even after I started to learn, I couldn't even be compared to him!

I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He had always wanted to find a way out for this child. This was truly finding a way out of this predicament without any effort!

He was good at accounting, had a sharp personality, and had some guts. He was not a good steward!

Ever since then, regardless of whether it was the butler or me, I often brought him along with me. From time to time, I would give him a few pointers. Whenever someone made a mistake, the child would stare at that person and give him a knowing smile.

In the end, she was still a 5 year old child. Although she had a calm personality, she was still an active and playful girl. She was also a boy. I also thought it would be good not only for his body, but for his character, to go out in the afternoons, accompanied by the maids and their mothers, to play in the little garden.

"Miss, it's bad!"

I was sitting on the brick bed with Green Bandits discussing what gift to give to the Old Lady Xu for her birthday the day after tomorrow. Lan Li hurriedly ran in with a pale face. She almost tripped on the doorstep.

"Miss, Madam … Madam … She … She will … Second Young Master … Throw it into the pond! "

"What's going on?"

I was startled by Lan Li's words, and my hand shook as I poured tea all over it.

"Say yes …" When the Madam was walking on the road, she was … He was knocked over by the second young master, for some reason … Then, he threw the Second Young Master down! "

Ever since his father had returned, he had been resting in his mother's courtyard. Naturally, his mother's courtyard had been freed as well. It was just that my mother seemed to be afraid of her own pregnancy and didn't usually walk around, so I didn't expect that my family would meet my mother in the garden.

"Then how are things now?"

Even I didn't think I would care so much about that little thing.

I thought he was just a responsibility to me. Sometimes I even thought he was a burden. It's a good thing that this child is smart and strong. He has never caused me any trouble, so I could only bring him along to teach him. Unexpectedly, after hearing the news that something had happened to him, I turned pale with fright.

"Second Young Master... She was fished out and sent back … Listening to Zhu Xuan, I … When I return … I just hired a doctor. "

Lan Jun ran so fast that she had to take a break for a while, yet she still had a panicked and panicked look on her face.

The meaning in her words was that she did not know what was happening to her family.

"Let's go over and take a look as well!" I patted at the water stain on my skirt and lifted my foot to go that way.

"Miss, do you want to …" Green Cock warned me.

Lan Yue, who had just finished two bowls of tea, hastily pulled on the green bandit and said, "Sister, you are confused. The second young master of the education system is our young miss' responsibility."

I couldn't help but frown.

I just find it troublesome to change my clothes and think that I'll be able to do it when the wind blows. Now that Lan Qing mentioned it, she could not help but be suspicious.

"Give me a new dress!"

I went straight behind the screen in the inner room.

After changing clothes, Lan Ling had already prepared some warm nourishment for the ginseng, so she followed me to the next room to listen to Zhu Xuan.

On the bed, there was a pale-faced family tree. In front of the bed, there was his grandmother, who was holding his second brother's small hand and talking to him in a soft voice. On the side, there was a letter from his family, looking at his younger brother with a worried frown. Outside, his father was sitting in an armchair, a cup of tea in his hand. He was frowning as he looked at his frail son. Behind him stood the beautiful Aunt Mo, holding her third brother in her arms. Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably, making her makeup a little flowery. His mother was sitting on an armchair opposite his father. Her face was ashen as she tightly gripped the handkerchief in her hands. She stared at the empty air without saying a word.

The head maid, Cui Zhu, who had just been assigned to the family, was standing at the door to help me pass the message but was stopped by me.

Even Mother Du was standing under the eaves, so it wasn't easy for me to bring the maidservants in. After receiving Lan Li's tonic, I quietly entered the room.

The adults were all deep in their thoughts. They didn't even see me enter the room. The one who was still lying on the bed was the first to notice me. Lying on the bed, he weakly called out, "Big sister."

The soft voice of a child pressed against my heart, making me unable to breathe.

My child, if born, would there be such a soft and tender voice?

"Sigh!" I smiled as I placed the item in my hand on top of the yellow rosewood table in the outer room. I quickly walked to his side and pulled his small hand. "Are you alright?"

"I'm just a little dizzy!"

His voice was thin.

Although the child was stubborn, his temperament was very sensitive. I can't believe he didn't see the kindness in me the whole time. He just pretended he didn't care.

Seeing him so trusting in me now, although sad, but also brought a bit of comfort.

I reached out and touched his forehead. It was cold, but not hot.

"The doctor said that I just caught a bit of a cold, and that I just drank two doses of medicine to disperse."

Grandmother looked at me and said this word for word, her expression somewhat stiff.

This is blaming me for not looking at a good child.

"It's all because my grandson and daughter didn't take good care of my little brother. Grandmother, please punish them!"

She had expected something like this from her grandmother.

On the one hand, my grandmother didn't want to see my mother domineering in the family, on the other hand, she didn't want to see me monopolize the family. Even though it was my mother's fault, since my grandmother still needed my mother to watch over me, I naturally couldn't do anything to her. Under such circumstances, I, the guardian, would naturally be lifted out to fill the vat.

A crime that was imposed, why was there no excuse?

"This cannot be blamed on elder sister!"

Sure enough, I saw it pretty well. Jiayi, this kid, is cold on the outside but hot on the inside. Seeing that I wanted to admit my wrongs, a hint of panic flashed across his face. He hurriedly opened his mouth to defend me.

However, these words did not come from his second brother, but from the letter that had been silently serving his brother.

Just when I was about to open my mouth, I immediately shot him a restraining gaze and secretly shook my head. Jiayi would often follow me around to see how my housekeeper would act, so he naturally understood the meaning behind my gaze.

"Although elder sister has taken the responsibility of teaching me, she can't always stay by my side."

I cursed in my heart. This child usually learns the words of those "extremely rare" saints, so he doesn't understand the methods to suppress the internal pressure. He probably wants to say something inappropriate when he isn't on guard.

The next day: parents, a few words of advice, disobedience, respect, and no complaints. There are three things wrong with this. First, we as sons should serve the mother, listen to the mother's teachings, accept the mother's rebuke. If mother's teaching method is inappropriate, we should advise mother, not quietly endure, brother's fault is unfilial. Second, even though elder sister has the responsibility of supervising and teaching him, she has already entrusted this matter to her younger brother's mothers. However, the servants did not care that their younger brother had fallen into the water. "Third, although the mother did it for the sake of the younger brother, the way she taught him was inappropriate, and the fault lay in her unwisdom.

Brother!

Your mother didn't want to teach you, she wanted your lives!

If not for Grandmother protecting you, who knows how much you would have suffered!

Seeing that he was clueless and had a face full of righteousness, I couldn't help but be at a loss whether to laugh or cry. I turned my head to look at Aunt Mo, who was hugging her child, and saw that my eldest son's face was about to change.

If a child's temperament is good, then he can also read books. That is, he has taken someone else as his mother.

Wouldn't he be at a disadvantage in the future if he were to fail to accomplish this?

"We, Brother Xin, are really smart!" "Not only can you read well, but you can also learn and use it!"

In my heart, I disapproved of what my grandmother had said.

Don't think the child is easy to praise. He had yet to mature into a man of the world, and he would always think that it was right when an adult praised him. If he were to continue being raised like this, wouldn't he have to raise a retard?

Obviously someone doesn't think like me.

Not only did the father who was carrying the tea cup have a look of satisfaction on his face, even the unhappy Aunt Mo behind him had a tinge of relief when she heard her grandmother's praise.

In this way, it would be inconvenient for me to open my mouth to refute him.

"If that's the case, then let's do it according to Jia Cheng's wishes!"

No one would make things difficult for themselves. I smiled as I accepted my elder brother's words.

"Since the fault lies with these three groups of people, these three groups of people will each be punished!"

Since I'm the head of the sect, I should be the one to take care of these trivial matters.

"Although my second brother did not do well in exhorting his parents to be filial, he is still young and has suffered from shock. Let my big sister take his place! His three mothers and two maids were in the wrong. Mom's hard work year is high, so I'll just punish you with two months of profit money! The two maidservants were too careless when doing things, I just happened to be missing a few maidservants to wash my clothes in my courtyard, so I still had to go back to work in my courtyard. As for the maids and mothers who were by their mothers' side today, they clearly knew that their mothers were very irritable, but they still didn't advise their masters to order the pills, and only gave them a penalty of two months' worth of money! "

Everyone in the room was a master, but the punishment was all servants. Everyone had an expressionless face.

I carefully observed Aunt Mo, but there wasn't a single ripple on her face. She was still the same quiet concubine with a respectful expression.

How strange!

Such an arrogant person could actually swallow his anger.

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Grandmother instructed the wet nurse to take care of the young master's medicine on time. She then left with the letter in her hand. Currently, Aunt Wang had already moved to her grandmother's courtyard. Maybe her grandmother had been too worried about her daughter and couldn't bear to see her waddle in the muddy water, so she had come on her own. Not long after, his father stood up and was about to leave as well. His mother shook off the clothes on her body and followed closely behind him. However, his father walked quickly and left his mother behind in a few steps. He did not have any intention of waiting and directly left without caring about his mother.

After everyone had left the room, I invited Aunt Mo to sit by the side and asked her about the whole story.

It was because her mother had gone to pay her respects in her grandmother's courtyard. Coincidentally, Jiayi had dashed out of the lawn and crashed into her mother's body, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.

Originally, I thought that no matter how foolish my mother was, she wouldn't be able to kill her bastard son in broad daylight. So, it turns out that there was such a twists and turns in her actions.

Thinking of the mother's desire for her son and her caution during pregnancy, one could imagine how angry she was when she was knocked down by a child as big as her.

"Aunt, Mother, she …"

For some reason, I wanted to defend my mother. When I realized something was wrong, I stopped myself.

Perhaps, in the bottom of my heart, my mother was also a poor person.

Aunt Mo looked at me and shook her head. "I know why."

I nodded silently. Aunt Mo had three children, so it wasn't a surprise to find out.

"Even if it isn't family justice, it would still be a family letter!"

Aunt Mo smiled at me. "Sooner or later, she will have to find someone to deal with her. This matter is not your fault!"

I thought to myself, This is bad.

Although Aunt Mo didn't mean what she said, the family had always been interested in this child. There was a hint in her voice that if a child was going to be in trouble, she would rather be in the family.

Indeed, the little boy was looking eagerly at his mother. However, at this moment, he lowered his head as if he was about to cry.

"Don't worry, just let me handle this!"

I smiled and chased him away. "I will definitely be a thousand times more careful now that something has happened!"

Aunt Mo smiled and nodded her head in agreement, but still told her mother about the little things she had done.

Saying a thousand words was worse than saying a single line.

These words were not as useful as the bowl of ginger soup Aunt Mo personally served to the eager child.

It's just that I don't intend to remind her. I just let her blabber on and on for a bit before she takes my hand and leaves.
