"Sister, sister, wait for me, wait for me and my second brother!"
"No wait, you two followers, why do you follow me wherever I go! I'm going to a girls' school. Did you hear that? It's a girls' school, and there are no boys in it!"
"But my second brother and I can also dress up as girls!"
The girl who was walking aggressively in front suddenly turned around, her features were picturesque, but at this moment she was scowling furiously. As soon as the two pink-makeup children behind him saw her cold face, their identical faces were filled with awe.
A tearful expression. Faced with this situation, she immediately felt as if she was as big as one and had to recite the four words her parents had taught her over and over again in her mind.
The eldest sister is like the mother, so you can't be angry, you can't be angry... It's all because my mother was the youngest in the family when she was in her parents' family. So after the husband gave birth to her daughter, he wanted to let the whole world know that she was the eldest sister, so he waited until the baby was born.
After her four-year-old twin brothers Zhang Xun and Zhang Ze were born, they were left to her to take care of!
She also claims to let her sister experience the feeling of being a mother early, so she has to control them from running around, she has to control them to read and read, and she has to be responsible for beating and scolding them. Anyway, she, the eldest sister, is half a mother! God knows
She had wanted to get rid of these two followers for a long time, and finally she was old enough to go to a girls' school, which was justifiable!
Moreover, she can even get rid of the matter of taking care of the servants and servants! It was because her mother saw that she could write and do calculations, this lazy person even asked her to learn housekeeping, even though her father said it was child exploitation.
, my mother still didn’t care.
Therefore, Zhang Luo, who was carrying a schoolbag, could only say with his hands on his hips: "I have already said, I am going to a girls' school! You two are going to your father's public school in the future, don't talk nonsense about men dressing up as women.
Don’t mention it, this is not just a matter of your mother dressing you up on a whim when you were young, and the rest of the family laughed for a while, if this spreads around the capital, you will never get a wife in the future!"
Before the meeting, the two faces were extremely confused. It was obvious that they didn't understand. They probably didn't even understand what the word "daughter-in-law" meant. Zhang Luo could only scold him with a straight face: "A man must be brave and don't cry.
Now go back to the garden and find Uncle Ah Liu to practice martial arts!"
As soon as they heard about martial arts training, the two identical brothers immediately grimaced. Just like their father's martial arts skills, which could only barely protect himself, the two brothers also complained incessantly whenever they practiced martial arts, and if they were lazy, they would not be punished.
Uncle Ah Liu taught me a harsh lesson, and he was scolded so hard by his gifted eldest sister that he had a psychological shadow after repeated visits.
Therefore, the two brothers could only watch their sister walk away. After standing there for a while, Zhang Xun, the elder brother, finally said: "My sister went to school alone, and my father and mother went to be their mother."
Teacher, but the two of us are left to look after the house, this is so unfair!"
Seeing that his younger brother Zhang Ze didn't say anything, Zhang Xun looked around, then pulled him over and whispered: "Uncle Ah Liu, this teacher is too strict, why don't we run away from home?"
Zhang Zedeng's eyes suddenly widened, and his first reaction was to object. But as soon as his eyes rolled, he came up with a better idea. So, the little guy put his arms around his brother's shoulders and whispered a few words.
After he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Xun beaming with joy and repeatedly shouting about his good idea, so he smiled shyly.
Ever since he was a child, he has been the one responsible for filling in the gaps for his brother's unsuccessful and bad ideas... Of course, the one who gets the most severe beating in the end is always the brother who made the first suggestion. As for him, after he cries and admits his mistake, his mother will always let him go.
On the one hand, although he will soon be exposed by his father and will be punished along with his brother, at least he will be punished less.
Today is the same. If I really run away from home according to my brother's words, not to mention whether I will encounter a flower party or something, even if nothing happens to me peacefully, if my parents catch me later, I will definitely not be able to escape a severe beating.
! But if he follows his idea, it will be a false alarm. If nothing serious happens, he will be beaten less... He is really smart!
So, when a group of little guys were trained meticulously in the martial arts training ground - even though these people are now married, in Ah Liu's eyes, they are still young little guys - Ah Liu discovered that brothers Zhang Xun and Zhang Ze had been waiting for a long time.
Then, he knew that the two lazy brothers had escaped again.
This was already a daily routine for him, so when he saw the bitter look on Yang Hao's face when he came to report, he said nonchalantly: "I'll look for it, you continue."
Seeing Ah Liu leave after saying these words, the sweaty young people in the martial arts training ground breathed a long sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but talk in twos and threes about what trouble happened to the two young masters this time.
Unlike Zhang Luo, the eldest daughter who perfectly inherited her martial arts talent from her mother, the twin young masters who have been long-awaited for a long time are really not that good except for their appearance, which is indeed a combination of their parents' advantages. Practicing martial arts is tiring, so count.
I often make mistakes, and I struggle with reading and writing, but I am the best at being lazy and slippery.
It is obvious that their mother is a martial arts genius and their father is a math genius. These twins were born with silver spoons in their mouths. They can't let the eldest daughter inherit this family in the future, right?
Ah Liu didn't care what other people thought. He walked on the top of the wall as if he were walking on flat ground, his eyes falling on every blind corner like a hawk. His condescending inspections had a long history in Zhang Yuan, so no one dared to hide in the corners.
He was doing something illegal and illegal in the nook. Everyone who looked up and saw him was sweating in their hearts for the two young masters.
When the news reached Wu's ears, she wandered around the room for a while, and then she couldn't help but cursed: "Why can't these two naughty little things be as worry-free and sensible as their elder sisters?
? They came out after a thousand calls. I think when they landed, Mrs. Zhao Guotai saw them in person before leaving with a smile. Fortunately, she didn't see them looking so useless! "
The scolding continued, but Wu still told Mother Jin: "Hurry and go to the public school to send a letter to Ah Shou, saying that Xiao Xun and Ozawa are missing again, and Ah Liu is looking around for them at the moment. Don't think too much.
He teaches students and throws his two sons aside!"
Mother Jin couldn't help laughing immediately, and she agreed repeatedly, but she thought in her heart that the two brothers could find a sense of security in Zhang Shou. As for Zhu Ying and Zhang Luo's mother and daughter... they really suppressed them without mercy. The two children
When she was three years old, Zhu Ying often dressed up as girls and played with people, but when she got older, she disliked it, and Zhang Luo often scolded people fiercely.
Of course, the one who disciplines the brothers the most mercilessly in this family is Ah Liu. With the permission of Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying, he has called the two young masters by their first names since he was a child, and spanked them when necessary, as if he didn't care at all.
They are the future owners of Zhang Garden.
Brothers Zhang Xun and Zhang Luo disappeared suddenly today. If they were caught by Ah Liu later, they would definitely get a good beating. Wu, a grandmother, couldn't stop her, but she really felt sorry for her grandson!
However, although the letter from Jin's mother was sent out, Ah Liu, who was able to pick them out quickly in the past, today went around the entire house and still found no sign of the brothers. In view of the large number of rooms in the house,
, he thought for a while, and then took the trouble to search in various rooms, but in the end there was no clue.
It wasn't until finally that the boy patrolled all the walls and found a few words neatly carved out with tree branches in a corner of the wall: "Don't look for us."
Looking up at the high inner courtyard wall, Ah Liu easily jumped to the top. After carefully checking all the traces, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Two
The little guy actually learned the tactic of being suspicious, but if he wanted to give the illusion of climbing over the wall and sneaking outside, he didn't just have to climb the wall here and then lie down on the top of the wall for a while.
These two lazy little guys didn't even want to jump down and pretend to run away. Instead, they worked hard to climb up the wall and then returned the same way... This is like climbing over the wall to the ground and then climbing back.
Is it really too troublesome? Speaking of which, in this regard, he is so similar to the young master and just as lazy. Should he be worthy of being called the young master’s son?
Even if Zhang Shou gets older and is married with children, even if he doesn't want to, he will no longer be called young master in this family. That is to say, Ah Liu still hasn't changed his old title, and these two in the family are called
The two brothers, who were young masters, were not much different from other little guys to him, so much so that Zhang Shouqiang insisted on keeping him at home to take care of the children, but he finally had no choice but to obey.
"Oh, are you playing hide and seek with me..."
As a result, the servants in Zhangyuan soon encountered a baptism like a violent storm. The wine, dice and even all kinds of interesting gadgets that were secretly stored in daily life were all searched by Ah Liu single-handedly.
The appearance was revealed, so many people were beating their chests and stamping their feet, but they also immediately joined the ranks of helping people, planning to catch the two brothers out.
If we don't let people receive a good beating at the hands of Ah Liu, is this an unreasonable disaster worthy of theirs?
However, Zhang Yuan is too big, and compared to the area, it uses much fewer servants than a mansion of the same size. However, the two brothers Zhang Xun and Zhang Ze have no other abilities. They have been living in this huge home since they were young.
Running around, and being so small, hiding from people's sight has a natural advantage.
Therefore, a large group of people gathered together, and it took a while to sort out the sighting tracks. After Ah Liu casually drew the map on the ground, his face immediately turned dark. Not just him, but other people who came around to join in the fun.
People are like birds and beasts. It's simple. They are very sure that as long as the two young masters are caught next, it will definitely be a fierce bamboo shoot barbecue!
When Ah Liu came to a seemingly inconspicuous courtyard, he immediately activated the secret door and saw the clear steps, he knew that the two little guys were indeed here.
After all, this is not the main entrance of Tiangongfang, but an emergency escape passage. It is not a big secret at home - because of some experiments in the past few years, Tiangongfang underground has to be evacuated every now and then.
Once, it was impossible to keep it a secret at all. Therefore, this place is not to prevent foreign enemies, it is purely to leave an escape door...
As for the secret door of Tiangongfang that used to lead to the outside of the mansion and was registered with the emperor, and was later invaded from outside the mansion, it has long since been completely blocked again. In order to prevent the same thing from happening again,
Zhang Shou even used local cement.
Therefore, because a specific key is required to activate the secret door mechanism, no one usually walks here, so there is inevitably dust on the steps. But now, the continuous small footprints clearly told him that the brothers had arrived.
Here it comes!
This secret door was built later. He and Zhu Ying Zhang Shou each had one stone key to open the mechanism. The spare one was locked in the box by Wu. It was hard for him to imagine that the two brothers could get it from Zhu Ying.
Ying and Zhang Shou got the key from Ying and Zhang Shou, and Wu had always doted on them. Maybe they dug the key out from the bottom of the box. As for the secret door here...
Maybe someone in the family was gossiping! And the brothers were happy to touch here and knock there, so they discovered the clues. However, this secret door didn't just slip in and be done with it!
Thinking of this, Ah Liu did not go in immediately, but silently closed the secret door outside, and then left another mechanism to close the lock. Although this secret door is not a secret, the road leading to Tiangongfang
But it's pitch black and there are many forked roads like a maze - of course, there won't be any danger, it's all flat ground. Instead, when you escape from it, you can find a way after activating the mechanism.
Just in time to teach these daring brothers a lesson!
Although he received an urgent message from Wu, Zhang Shou still stayed calm and composed until the class was over, and then went home a little earlier than usual. His two sons knew that he really didn't want to go home.
I feel that people can achieve great things under Ah Liu's nose.
As for running away from home... the inner courtyard wall is easier to live with, but the outer courtyard wall is harder. Do you really think that the alarm bells arranged by Hua Qi on the outer courtyard wall are just to bluff people?
And it is even more impossible to hide in some carriage and horse luggage and sneak out. There is no way that a pair of identical brothers can get into a place like the carriage stable!
So, when he arrived home leisurely, he saw Ah Liu coming up to him with a dark face and said bluntly: "Zhang Xun and Zhang Luo quietly ran to Tiangongfang!"
This was an answer that was a bit beyond Zhang Shou's expectations, especially after he learned that people entered through a secret escape door. However, when he asked with a smile if the two of them had gotten lost in the dark maze, Ah Liu didn't answer at all and just stayed aside.
Yang Hao said cautiously: "They were well prepared. They even brought an open tile lamp, and then they found a dozen balls of thread from who knows where."
"The two young masters said that they brought the lights because they heard you say that once the lights become smaller or even go out, it means that there is insufficient Yang Qi for breathing, and you should immediately return to the original route, and the thread ball is used to mark the road.
of."
Although Yang Hao described oxygen as yang energy, Zhang Shou still roughly understood why Ah Liu was so dark-faced at this moment - Dare the lover originally planned to teach the two brothers a lesson, but he didn't expect the person to actually touch it.
Tiangongfang is in the right place!
The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became. He immediately laughed. After nodding to Yang Hao, he hooked Ah Liu and motioned for people to follow him. After entering the gate, he asked whether the brothers were still alive at the moment.
In the workshop, he went directly to find it.
When he entered the main entrance from Tiangongfang, which also led to the underground, and only went down a few steps, Zhang Shou heard a clear voice: "Brother Wu, this steam engine is so powerful. Using it to pull a cart is really better than
Can the carriage still be loaded?”
"What are railroad tracks? You just said you would use railroad tracks to pave the road, and then put pillow-like wood in the middle. How much would that cost?"
"Uncle Guan, is this really a ship made of steel? Why won't it sink in the water?"
Listening to this, Brother Wu, Uncle Guan, and Zhang Shou couldn't help but rub their chins gently, thinking that their two sons were not good at anything else, but their ability in One Hundred Thousand Whys was not weak. It's a pity that they all have no talent in mathematics, science, and writing.
A bit useless, their sister's mental arithmetic ability is already very strong at this age, but when it's their turn, she stumbles.
Anyway, it's just like practicing martial arts, the two of them don't have much talent.
Therefore, it was not until he quietly appeared behind the two of them that he suddenly grabbed one of them by the collar. After the boy hurriedly shouted twice, "Sixth Uncle, please spare me," when he caught a glimpse of him, his face suddenly became extremely expressionless.
Honest and honest, he knew that this was Zhang Ze who came out a little late from his mother's womb.
He is the younger brother who puts his elder brother ahead of him in everything.
As soon as he saw his father's meaningful smile, Zhang Ze knew that something was wrong. When Zhang Shou let go, he quickly knelt down and hugged his father's thigh: "Dad, you haven't brought me and my brother here for a long time.
Tiangongfang is here, we just want to come and have a look!"
It’s definitely not because you’re afraid of practicing martial arts that you skip classes!
What Zhang Ze didn't say in the second half, Zhang Xun yelled directly. As a result, Zhang Shou didn't answer, Ah Liu took the big one aside and grilled it with bamboo shoots. Zhang Ze couldn't escape either.
After a while, when the brother who was crying for his father and mother was beaten and thrown back, he was also picked up by Ah Liu and received no more than ten slaps on his buttocks.
And when he came back pitifully, rubbing his butt, he saw Zhang Shou talking to the two people he had just talked to. As the future owner of Zhang Yuan, Tiangongfang was curious but almost inaccessible to them.
Therefore, whether Guan Qiu, who has black hair and eyes like himself, or Wu David, who looks strange, this is the first time they have had close contact.
I had only seen it from a distance before, and even if I came with my parents a few times to visit, they never had the chance to speak.
Therefore, since he had been beaten, Zhang Zeshao had no choice but to quietly tug at the corner of his brother's clothes to make the dumb brother stop talking, and then raised his ears and listened. When he heard Zhang Shou asking about the progress, he said a lot
After he couldn't understand the words at all, he took a chance and shouted: "Dad, I want to learn from Uncle Guan and Brother Wu!"
What about railroad tracks, what about steam engines, and renovating blast furnaces to make steel... This is much more interesting than practicing martial arts and arithmetic!
Zhang Xun's eyes widened, but out of the same mindset as his younger brother, he quickly parroted the words. However, what followed was not his father's opposition or ridicule, nor was it simple approval and support.
"Learn something? You think the things in the workshop today are interesting, so you want to learn them, right? But do you know that in order to make something, you need to learn arithmetic, which you hate most? You need to learn more than arithmetic.
More difficult physics?”
"Knowing that when the lights go out, there is no oxygen and people cannot survive. Knowing that you can at least find a way out of the maze by holding a ball of thread and unwinding it. But these are just small cleverness. And small cleverness is different from great wisdom. Great wisdom is not only innate
Talent is also a matter of acquired learning. Even I have only learned a little bit of the surface."
Zhang Ze's mouth suddenly opened wide. He never thought that these things that looked so interesting still need to be learned! He glanced at his brother next to him who was also confused, but he muttered in a low voice: "Dad
Don't coax us..."
Zhang Shou did not reprimand him directly, but waved to Wu David, who had now transformed from a blond boy into a blond young man, and then said slowly: "Come on, brother Wu, tell your two junior brothers that they have learned the lesson.
What?"
If it were in Florence, David Wu was sure that he would be the brightest morning star at various dances and parties. Because of good food, good education, and various martial arts training he was forced to undergo, he was extremely tall.
He now has the ability of a knight and the elegance of an intellectual in his movements.
However, what he was most happy about at this time was that Zhang Shou said that these twin biological sons were his younger junior brothers. In other words, he who started to formally follow Zhang Shou to learn arithmetic very late was indeed regarded as his direct disciple.
.
Therefore, when facing these two little guys who met him at close range for the first time and saw that his appearance was completely different from Akito's, he showed no trace of fear or awe. The corners of his mouth gradually rose, revealing a very
With a gentle smile, he said earnestly: "Two junior brothers, you really need to learn a lot to make the things you just saw."
"In addition to the arithmetic and physics that the teacher just mentioned, there are also pneumatics, fluid mechanics, materials science, metallurgy..."
Wu Dawei, who also perfectly learned the tricks of cheating from Zhang Shou, opened his mouth with a dazzling list of names. As a result, he succeeded in making the eyes of the two identical brothers full of stars. When he finally reported the name of a dish to a academic report
After a paragraph, he said kindly: "You two junior brothers, are you sure, do you really want to learn?"
"In no mood!"
"think!"
These two completely different voices sounded almost at the same time. Not to mention Wu David, even Zhang Shou couldn't help but be stunned. As a result, he saw his two sons staring at each other for a long time.
I found the younger one shouting angrily: "Brother, why are you so worthless!"
"I'm too tired. I don't want to learn so many things!" Zhang Xun retorted confidently. Seeing his younger brother looking at him with a sorrowful look like an adult, he suddenly felt guilty, but after hesitating again and again, he still straightened his chest.
Said, "Dad once said that in this world, some people are academic masters, and some people are academic scumbags. No matter how hard you try, it's useless!"
"And I'm a bad student!"
At this moment, Zhang Shou couldn't help but want to cover his face when he thought that he had comforted his wife who hated iron with such words in front of Zhu Ying. This was the first time he saw such a self-righteous scumbag... But this scumbag
It's still his son! What a sin. He has saved many scumbag students in his life. Now it seems that he may have to save his own son!
Therefore, he stared at Zhang Xun for a long time, until he looked down at the little guy with a guilty conscience, and then said helplessly: "It's important for people to be self-aware. It's better for you to know that you are a scumbag than to think that you are invincible."
.All roads lead to the capital, and there are many other choices in this world, even if you plan to sit around and hang out for the rest of your life..."
"Is it really possible?" Zhang Xun was overjoyed all of a sudden, and even interrupted Zhang Shou forgetfully. But when he heard a loud cough from behind, and realized that it was his twin brother reminding him, he was slightly startled.
His face gradually turned pale.
He actually revealed to his father that he planned to spend his whole life in idleness and idleness!
Zhang Xun subconsciously turned around and ran away. As a result, he forgot that he had just been severely spanked. Before he could run out for two steps, he hit his head directly on someone. He raised his head and realized that it was Ah Liu. He
Immediately, he was like a wilted cabbage, squatting down on the ground with his head in his hands, shouting repeatedly: "I was wrong! Dad, Uncle Ah Liu, I was wrong!"
Ah Liu directly picked up the little guy, but then he felt someone hugging his thigh. He lowered his head and saw Zhang Ze with a pleading face. He was stunned for a moment, but ignored him and raised his head to look at Zhang Ze.
Shou, his eyes are as serious as ever.
Zhang Shou believed that as long as he showed a little bit of expression, Ah Liu could give the older brother of the twins a good beating again. So he shook his head clearly: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and you can't force him. Xiao Ze is willing to go."
To learn these things, then Wu David, come and take your junior brother with you to see what kind of talent he has. If he has no talent, he can only rely on hard work."
"As for Xiao Xun, it's okay to live a life of idleness and wait for death. However, your mother and I set the rules of this family back then. How much ability you have, how much you can do, and how much family property you share. If Aze has the ability in the future and
His sister will inherit Tiangongfang together, but you don’t know anything and can’t do anything, then you have no share in this."
"And if you don't study or be an official, you can't keep this big house in the capital, so I can only give you one of your mother's villages. You can go to the countryside and be a small landowner and lead the tenants well."
Farming..."
Zhu Ying, who had just come back from outside, pulled her daughter Zhang Luo. She was frowning at first, but at this moment she was laughing so hard that she still managed not to make a sound. As for Zhang Luo behind her, she was covering her head.
I closed my eyes, as if I felt that the scene of my younger brother being taught like this by his father was simply too horrible to watch.
Sure enough, when I heard that I would leave the capital in the future and stay at home honestly to avoid being picked on and hurt my sister and younger brother, I was shocked when I heard that my close friends in the future—actually my cousins, etc.
In addition, the two little guys in Senior Brother Lu's family who he can call nephews will gradually become alienated, just because they are not from the same world... Zhang Xun's face finally changed.
Zhang Luo couldn't help but mutter that her father could deceive people like this, but when she turned her head, she found that her mother, who had been laughing so hard just now, was now starting to become frightened. She was stunned for a moment.
, and then asked in a low voice in disbelief: "Mom, isn't dad just lying to Xiao Xun? Is he telling the truth?"
Zhu Ying, who had burst into tears just now, wiped her eyes gently, but then did not answer Zhang Luo's words, but appeared and walked forward. When Zhang Xun finally noticed her arrival, she only saw the twins.
The brother in the middle had a mournful face and looked at him pitifully, as if praying that she could overturn what Zhang Shou had said before.
She has always been very simple and rude to her two sons, but this time Zhu Ying gently rubbed the little guy's head, then smiled slightly and said: "I actually have uncles, and your grandfather also has two uncles.
But now, they are not in the capital, but working as insignificant officials far away."
"Even for such small officials, there are people who are always monitoring whether they have made mistakes and whether they have embezzled money. Because they have the status of a relative but do not have much talent, so in order to avoid unrealistic ambitions in life, this is the only way. Before my grandmother died,
Tell me, they hate her, they hate the Queen Mother, and in fact they probably hate my father and me and all the people who enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital."
"Ah Xun, if you have no talent and are unwilling to work hard, then from now on, you will only be the same as those elders you may never see."
Although the young Zhang Xun couldn't understand Zhu Ying's words at all, his mother confirmed that his father's words just now were not a threat, which he still understood! So the elder brother was finally struck by that overwhelming force.
The desire to survive was so strong that I jumped up and shouted hurriedly: "I will learn whatever my second brother learns. I was just lazy and didn't study hard before!"
"I just thought that if I couldn't learn anything, my parents and sister wouldn't push me so hard!"
"Brother, you big idiot!"
Hearing what his brother Zhang Xun said without hesitation, and his brother Zhang Ze's subsequent scolding, he rushed forward and covered the person's mouth tightly. Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment and then smiled. Looking at Zhu Ying again, he just
Seeing the child, his mother was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, as if she was about to explode in the next second!
Although as a father, he should give some advice at this moment, but when he saw Zhu Ying carrying the people away one by one without saying a word, he glanced at the eldest daughter who was stunned on the spot, and then added leisurely
: "Luoluo, your two brothers are born in the year of the monkey. You must be more careful in the future and don't be deceived by them."
"I really didn't expect that your mother and I would act stupid just to be lazy!"
Wu David was already laughing so much that he was squatting there and beating the ground, and the kinder Guan Qiu also turned his back to hide the smile on his face. But Ah Liu's originally rigid face now looked even darker.
He took a deep breath and said word by word like a military order: "There is no future."
These five words can cause ambiguity. Zhang Shou listened to his ears, but he couldn't help but mourn for the future of his two sons. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, otherwise, otherwise a pair of scumbag sons would have set up such a plan.
