Splendid spring returns

Chapter 237: Sons and daughters strive for success
In late autumn, the nights are getting longer and longer, and it is not until a quarter past three o'clock that the sun finally rises lazily.

The courtyard that had been quiet all night suddenly became popular. Several cleaning ladies and girls shuttled back and forth, quickly tidying up the fallen flowers and leaves in the courtyard.

Then the people in the kitchen brought breakfast. Xin Nian had already finished washing up. After eating with the children, he packed the schoolbags for Gu Yufeng and Liu Zai. He opened the textbook and read their large characters and smiled: " Brother Feng's handwriting is becoming more and more beautiful now, and one day, with this handwriting, he will be praised by the examiner."

Liu Zai laughed at the side and said: "My husband often praises the third brother for his good calligraphy. The eldest brother and the fourth brother are still unconvinced and say that their explanations are better than the third brother's, so the husband stops talking. In fact, the third brother always gives in to them." "

Xin Nian glanced at Gu Yufeng and said with a smile: "Brother Feng is so powerful, but at such a young age, he already knows how to hide his clumsiness?"

Gu Yufeng smiled shyly and said: "My eldest brother and my four younger brothers are all very competitive. If my husband praises my words, they feel uncomfortable. Why should I argue with them? Knowledge is in my stomach and no one can take it away." "

"Good boy." Xin Nian touched his head and said to Liu Zai: "Did you hear what your third brother said? You should also learn from your third brother's character and calmness in school."

"know."

Liu Zai nodded obediently.Gu Yufeng smiled and said: "I'm not saying good things about my sixth brother in front of my mother. Although I work hard, my talent is limited. My sixth brother is smarter than me. My husband is always amazed, saying that he can draw inferences from one instance and draw conclusions from analogies."

"Okay, you are all well."

Xin Nian nodded with a smile, grabbed Gu Yufeng and Liu Zai's young shoulders, and said softly: "You are the future of the palace, you must be both civil and military, and you will help your father to support the heavy burden..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the ladies and girls in the courtyard laughing and saying, "Auntie and the second young master are here." Then they came before anyone else arrived: "Third brother, sixth brother, come on, let's go to school together."

Xin Nian and Chun Yu next to him looked at each other, and Chun Yu smiled and said: "My aunt just said that she is both civil and military, so this is not the one who is in charge of military affairs."

After speaking, she walked over and lifted the door curtain, only to see Aunt Gu and Gu Yuchen walking in, both wearing brand new jackets. Aunt Gu then clapped her hands and said: "Why is there not even a little girl at the door? Now that the night is long and the sky is short, they are still sleeping Not enough, so lazy?"

Xin Nian smiled and said, "It's getting cold. I don't need them to come here early in the morning. Anyway, there aren't many people here. It's just Aunt Qin and you, so we don't have to worry about it. You're still stroking your hands, which shows that you know the warmth and coldness. Why are you so harsh on the little girl?"

Aunt Gu smiled and said, "You are right. I didn't expect it to be so cold when I came out. Fortunately, I changed into a new coat, otherwise I would have frozen to death. Speaking of which, it's time to distribute charcoal fires to each house, right?"

"My eldest aunt is currently busy making accusations against my grandma, so I'm afraid she didn't take care of this, but it rained all night last night, and there was a lot of autumn rain and cold. I guess it's just these two days, otherwise my ancestors The first one refused."

Aunt Gu's eyes lit up, and she suddenly saw her son waiting with his hands down. She smiled quickly and said, "Have Brother Feng and Liu Zai finished cleaning up? After cleaning up, you guys should go to school quickly. Where is Yaya?"

"After breakfast, I hurriedly returned to my room. Chun Yu said that she is having fun being a female celebrity now, so I left her alone. Yue Ya'er is following me."

"Yaya looks like a beauty who has become more and more outstanding in the past two years. Fortunately, she is not like you, who likes to dance with guns and sticks. I think she likes to work hard on female celebrities." Aunt Gu laughed, and she and Xin Nian gave away a few boys. When the son went out, he gave some instructions to the boy who was following him, and then turned around.Xin Nian smiled and said, "It's all because of the dolls you gave me. Ever since I made a little dress for the doll, I've fallen in love with it."

After talking and returning to the room, Hong Xiu served fragrant tea. Xin Nian asked: "You just came here with Brother Chen after breakfast, right? Why?"

Aunt Gu smiled and said: "For no other reason than I think something big is going to happen in the house today, so I came here to tell you, and then we can watch the fun together."

"Oh?"

Aunt Gu took a sip of tea, picked up a piece of snack and put it into her mouth, and said lightly: "Last night, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I simply put on a coat and an umbrella, and went to sit on the porch in the backyard for a while, when I saw my aunt. The light in the room is still on, so there must be some reason why she's still up so late at night, not to mention we've said before that if it lasts five days at most and three days at most, my aunt will definitely take action."

Xin Nian nodded and said softly: "Counting the days, it's almost time."

Aunt Gu also sighed: "Originally this was a happy thing. But now the prince is commanded by the emperor to command the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and he was severely reprimanded before, and he was asked to go to the camp to meditate on his mistakes and make meritorious deeds. However, it happened The prince handed over the palace to my aunt again, and even divorced my aunt and sister while he was away... I thought about all these important events when I couldn't sleep, and why did I feel a little uneasy."

Xin Nian thought to himself: Don't tell me, she is a woman from the royal palace, so her mind should be sharper.But he smiled and said: "What is there to be uneasy about? The prince is arrogant and angry. He said some things that he shouldn't have said on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The emperor just scolded him and asked him to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to think about his mistakes. Isn’t this a huge favor? If it were anyone else, would they be able to let go of it so gently? It shows that the prince’s holy love is unfailing.”

Aunt Gu nodded slowly and said thoughtfully: "You are right. But...are you sure that the prince has broken up with the prince? The prince...will be the emperor in the future."

Xin Nian sighed: "These are men's affairs, what can we do to the women in the back house? Fortunately, the emperor is in good health now. Who knows what will happen next? Maybe the prince and the prince will be reconciled again. .”

Aunt Gu smiled and said: "That's right. The prince is the future emperor after all. I'm just worried that grandma won't make a comeback by then, right?"

"Even if she makes a comeback, the palace has already changed by then, and she can't help but be arrogant."

Xin Nian glanced at Aunt Gu again: "Let the men be busy with these things. We women are just drifting with the crowd. Sure enough, one day when the romance is over, I will take you and the children up the mountain and become bandits. Go and kill those corrupt officials, rob the rich and give to the poor..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Gu Auntie stamping her feet. She looked like she wanted to come up and cover her mouth. She kept saying, "Have you read too many story books and legends recently? Do you dare to say this? Not even men." I wish you would end up like this, but you take it as a joke. If someone hears it, will you die or live?"

"Isn't this the two of us talking and playing in private? Who can hear it?"

As soon as Xin Nian finished speaking, she suddenly heard a cough outside. She stood up and said, "It's Aunt Qin. Why did she come here if she didn't have a good rest in the house in such weather?"
