Huo Xi bought a bunch of food that the little boy usually liked, and carried them back to the boat.
After coaxing him for a long time, Pi Xiaozi just didn't agree.
She also said that her sister was bad. She wiped her tears and buried her head in Yang's arms, but ignored her.
"Didn't my sister tell you about the allusion of arms being unable to twist the thigh? Our thin arms cannot twist the other person's thigh. If we can't twist the other person's thigh, we have to hug him."
Huo Xi patiently coaxed him: "If you don't hold on and offend them, our family's business in the city won't be able to do it. If the business can't be done, we won't have money to earn. If we don't earn money, we won't be able to buy fields. Nian'er will
I can’t collect the rent anymore.”
Pi Xiaozi paused, not wanting to raise his head, and hummed behind her back: "If we can't open a shop, we will go fishing with our parents. If we earn money from fishing, we can also buy land."
"But what if they don't let us fish anymore? What if they take away our boat?"
Pi Xiaozi turned around and glared at her: "No! Are they robbers? They want to take our boat!"
Seeing Huo Nian raising his head and looking at her angrily, Huo Xi couldn't help but laugh and tried her best to hold it back: "But our arms are thin and we can't twist our thick thighs."
"This is my family's boat! Only robbers and water thieves come to steal other people's things!"
"Sister knows this is our boat. But if someone comes to rob it, we can't defeat them."
Huo Nian didn't know what to do. He clenched his hands tightly, puffed out his cheeks, and was very angry.
Huo Xi coaxed him again: "Sister, I told you before that those who are practical and practical are heroes. Have you forgotten it?"
"I haven't forgotten."
"Our memory is really good. We haven't forgotten it for so long. Can you please give me two, no, three kinds of sweets as a reward?"
Huh. Huo Nian turned his head to the side.
Seeing that he was loose, Huo Xi thought that he was going to school soon. This child had been pampered by his family since he was a child, and he didn't know his status or his dignity.
Afraid that he might offend someone in school and offend his high-status classmates, Huo Xi tried to instill in him some concepts of status and told him stories about people of different statuses.
Pi Xiaozi listened quietly and asked her a few questions from time to time.
Yang and Huo Erhuai looked at each other, sighed and did not bother.
Nian'er is still too young and only knows right and wrong. Who knows that people with high status are also right when they are wrong?
Seeing Huo Xi telling him a lot, the couple felt a little distressed. They wished he could stop going to school and just fish with them on the boat, so that they could live a life without any worries.
But I also know that Huo Xi's idea is right. As long as Nian'er grows up in this world and has a sophisticated world, he must learn to accept it and bow to powerful people.
In the end, I left two coconuts for Pi Xiaozi, and the rest were made into food and sent to Duke Ding's mansion.
Seeing him shed tears, Huo Xi couldn't bear it.
She comforted him with a warm voice: "You see, the Songjiang Mansion is not far from our Yingtian Mansion, right? When you take a break, our whole family will go there, and then we can find the people to buy it, okay?"
Pi Xiaozi dropped the golden beans: "It's not always available. What if it's available when we don't go?"
"That's easy to do. You study hard in the book school. When you learn how to write letters, write letters to the wet nurse and ask her to help you keep an eye on the dock every day. If you have any, buy them for Nian'er and send them to us.
,OK?"
"You should write to the wet nurse now and ask her to keep an eye on it for Nian'er."
"Okay, sister, I will write it tonight, okay? Let's go shopping on the street later to see if there are any good things, and buy some for the nanny to send to her, okay? The nanny loves you so much, and you love her too, okay?
good?"
"good."
Pi Xiaozi was coaxed and happily followed Huo Xi on the street, picking out gifts for the nanny.
Two days later, the family sent him to Boya Book School together.
Seeing him excitedly greeting the gatekeeper and the gentleman who came to pick him up, he smiled and said goodbye to Yang, Huo Erhuai and others, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Huo Erhuai and Yang stood on tiptoe with worried faces and stretched their necks to look into the book school.
"We have to stay in the school for a whole day, won't Nian'er be able to stay there?"
"I don't know what he eats for lunch, but he is used to it. I don't know if he will be scared."
"There are so many classmates. If they come here earlier than him, I wonder if they will bully him."
The couple stood chattering at the door of the school and refused to leave.
Yang took another look inside and discussed with Huo Erhuai: "How about I stay in the city? I will be guarding the door today. If anything happens, he will feel more at ease knowing that I am at the door."
Huo Erhuai nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "How about I stay outside with you?"
Huo Xi was speechless for a while: "Dad, if you ask Uncle Lu to help you guard the ship, I can't help you guard the ship for a day. It will delay things."
"Well, let's give him some money so as not to delay his work."
Seeing Yang still nodding, Huo Xi couldn't laugh or cry: "Mom and dad, since Nian'er has already gone to a private school, you should let him adapt on his own. We can't guard him every day."
"This is his first day of school. What if he doesn't get used to it? Mom can stay here to appease him and prevent him from becoming rebellious and no longer willing to go to school. What should I do?" The more he said it, the more reasonable he became and he insisted on staying.
Stand guard near the school.
He then sent Yang Fu back to the yard in Qionghua Lane to fetch some sewing work for her. She had to work under the eaves outside the school while guarding Huo Nian.
Huo Xi couldn't defeat her, so she managed to get Huo Erhuai back to the ship. Yang Fu quickly brought Yang's sewing work, and said that Grandma Zou would come to accompany her after she finished her work and bring her lunch.
Huo Xina was speechless.
Yang took over the sewing work, actually found a shaded place under the eaves outside the school, sat down, and asked Huo Xi and Yang Fu to leave to do their work. She could just stay by herself.
Yang Fu and Huo Xi had no choice but to return to the shop.
By Mochou Lake, Zhang Fuzheng and a few friends were sitting in a tea shop chatting.
There are two large lakes in the capital, but the largest and most beautiful Xuanwu Lake has become a forbidden area for the royal family. Mochou Lake has become a place where literati and nobles and common people love to stay.
"Brother Wenbi, I haven't been back to the capital for several years. I'm afraid I'm not used to it."
"How come, the land south of the Yangtze River is full of scenery. This Mochou Lake, with willows like smoke and lake clouds like dreams, makes people linger and forget to leave."
"Haha, Brother Wenbi is right, come and try our Jiangnan delicacies again."
"It looks good and tastes good. It's not sweet or greasy. It just suits my taste." Zhang Fu couldn't stop praising it.
"Brother Wenbi has gone to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report on his duties. Did you hear that His Majesty plans to build the city of Beiping?"
"Yes, Brother Wenbi, why do you think His Majesty proposed to build Beiping City? We can't even guess what Your Majesty means."
Zhang Fu's men paused: "We can inquire into the Holy Will at will. As ministers, naturally we will do whatever His Majesty orders us to do. Come here, have a taste of this pastry. I feel very good after eating it.
You guys also have a taste."
After parting with his friends, Zhang Fu abandoned his car and strolled along the shore of Mochou Lake.
The cool breeze blowing this afternoon was very comfortable. Zhang Fu squinted his eyes to feel it, and a smile appeared on his face.
I walked casually to a book school and saw a 14 or 5-year-old child running out of the book school, calling for mother, with a swaying book bag on his body.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the child throwing himself on his mother, raising his head and acting like a coquettish idiot, wrapping his limbs around his mother, hanging on his mother like a pendant.
Zhang Fu couldn't help but smile, turned and walked away.
