Xianggong farming

Chapter 119 Qi Shiro

Hearing the mother and son arguing in the yard, Qi Dalang had no choice but to come out. Seeing Qi Li's broom flying towards his daughter-in-law, he narrowed his eyes, and immediately made two steps in three steps, blocking Ji Xinmiao to catch the oncoming one. The broom flew over and asked: "Fourth brother, what are you doing? You are almost 14 years old, and you will be engaged to marry a wife in two or three years, and you are still here to make your mother angry. Are you embarrassed?"

Qi Silang looked dissatisfied: "You all have only read for two or three years, and you don't want to read it. But I have been studying for five or six years, and I have already said that I don't want to read it. My mother just forced me to read it. .Yesterday Master asked us to write another poem, and said that if we can’t write it well, we have to copy “Tao Te Ching” three times, and that will break our hand, okay? Don’t you all think that I will only have one hand in the future?”

"Pfft!" Ji Xinmiao couldn't help it anymore, he really didn't know what to do, Qi Li was pampering him and didn't understand?Sure enough, a loving mother often loses her children!It's just that she didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't want to participate, so she just smiled and asked: "Then you just write the poem, so you don't need to copy it?"

Qi Silang looked at Ji Xinmiao with hatred on his face: "Sister-in-law said it so easily, don't you claim to be literate? If a good poem is so easy to write, then there will be great poets in this world." ?You sisters are the kind of people who can talk sarcasticly."

Qi Dalang saw that Qi Silang's words became more and more outrageous, so he said seriously: "Fourth brother, when did your sister-in-law say something sarcastic about you?"

Qi Silang knew that he had slipped his tongue, but he, who has always been favored by Qi and Li, would not give in: "Brother, sister-in-law just laughed at me, saying that as long as I make a good poem, I will be worried if I really do it." Isn’t sister-in-law very good, why don’t you help me make a song.”

Ji Xinmiao thought to herself, since Qi Silang had been lukewarm to her sister-in-law since she entered the door, she thought it was normal.This is how a brother-in-law and sister-in-law should get along, but now she knows that Qi Shilang is not satisfied with her?The reason for his dissatisfaction was that Ji Xinmin offended him when he went to deliver the boxing gift on behalf of Qi Dalang.

What a spoiled child, stingy as hell!

Ji Xinmiao ignored him and approached the barrel and liked the potato flour at the bottom of the barrel.After all, Qi Silang was under 14 years old, and he was the spoiled old lady of the Qi Li family, so she didn't care about it. "Fourth uncle, tell me, let's see, what is the title of the poem? I may not be able to make it, but if you say it, everyone will give you hints, maybe you will have inspiration."

Qi Shilang looked proud: "Reminder? The most older brother is the only one who has studied for three years. What can I learn in three years? I can only read the Three Character Classic, and I don't know what poetry is. What else can I remind? But It is said that you are a big girl from a rich family and can read and write, so let me tell you and see if you are bragging."

Qi Dalang felt that his little brother hadn't read much in his studies, but this guy hadn't read well, so he was about to criticize him with a serious face.Looking at Qi Silang's proud and airy Qi Li family, Ji Xinmiao was afraid that what Qi Dalang said would cause unnecessary trouble, so she quickly waved her hand: "Master, fourth uncle did not say anything wrong, I am indeed a girl from a rich family There’s nothing wrong with parentage? Heroes don’t even ask where they come from, let alone an ordinary woman like me? You think I’m right?”

Seeing that his elder brother was really angry, Qi Shilang realized that he had offended his elder brother and sister-in-law, so he said with a smirk, "Sister-in-law, I don't mean anything else. Didn't I get annoyed by your laugh just now?"

Ji Xinmiao smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, just tell me, what is the theme of the poem that your master arranged, it opened my eyes."

In the end Qi Silang looked at Qi Dalang's cannibalistic eyes and lowered his head and said: "Write a poem about autumn!"

"Oh, describe autumn? What is there in autumn? In our village, there are only mountains and no food. It is really difficult to write this poem well." With the poem in his chest, Ji Xinmiao still only said words to coax Qi Shilang.To be honest, Qi Silang is Qi Li's treasure, so why should she do it?Qi Li's wholeheartedly hoped that Qi Silang would be successful, so that he could overwhelm Qi Dalang's eldest son, and even if Qi Silang was really successful, it would not be in her favor, Ji Xinmiao.

It is necessary for her to blend in?
After hearing Ji Xinmiao's words, the unhappiness on Qi Silang's face disappeared immediately: "Yes, yes, my sister-in-law really has a level. Apart from mountains and trees, what else can I describe in autumn in our village? Isn’t this master just here to make things difficult for others?”

Ji Xinmiao chuckled twice: "I don't have anything good to say. It seems that I haven't read too much. Fourth Uncle, I can't help you."

Qi Silang turned his face to Qi Li's grievance and said: "Mother, I said that this book is not interesting after reading it. Can writing poems produce food? Can writing poems produce money? The master always says to write good poems Come on, he himself has never written a good poem. He has been a scholar all his life, and I don’t like to be a scholar like him. If I can’t write a poem, I have to copy three Tao Te Ching. You might as well die!"

Although there were grades in this era of soil, agriculture, industry and commerce, it was not as strict as that in the Song Dynasty.Moreover, there have been masters in the village, so it is not so rare for scholars.But Qi Li felt that Father Qi favored the eldest son, and now that Father Qi paid a big price for Qi Dalang to marry a girl from a rich family as his wife, she thought that she must make Qi Silang stand out so that she could stay in the Qi family forever. prestige.

Hearing his son's ignorant words, and this eldest daughter-in-law is really not his own daughter-in-law, she won't think about herself.So Qi Li's face sank: "Daughter-in-law, can't you think about a poem and read it to Shiro? Or let him do a job for his master, why don't you copy the scriptures three times? Are you thinking about it?" Make him afraid that Master will not go to school?"

Ji Xinmiao's eyes widened when she heard Qi Li's accusation. Is this Qi Li's real favorite, or is she too stupid?Does she want her son to be successful, or does she want her son to mess around?To let her cheat Qi Shiro?This Qi Li family is not a weird one, so who is a weird one?

For a moment, Ji Xinmiao stayed where she was, not knowing how to reply.

Qi Li insisted on asking Ji Xinmiao to compose a poem and ask Qi Silang to hand in homework. Ji Xinmiao really thought that Qi Li wanted to raise Qi Silang or something?I wanted to plagiarize a poem to Qi Silang, so that Qi Li would have nothing to say.

But she thought about it again, this Qi Shilang was her brother-in-law after all, even if the mother-in-law was not good, a child would not have much hatred against her.Mrs. Qi and Li couldn't read big characters, so it was impossible to say one, two, three, four, let alone reasoning.Looking at the child who was no more than two years older than his younger brother, Ji Xinmiao looked at Qi Silang and asked seriously: "Fourth Uncle, you really don't want to be a scholar?"
