Chapter 194 Rules
"Grandma, your hairpin is so pretty."

This golden plum blossom hairpin was newly added by Xu's mother after she came to the capital, and it was bought by Yinhua with Xu Mu's money.

"Your aunt must have bought it. Your aunt has a lot of good things." Xu Lan said immediately, her bright eyes staring straight at the hairpin in her daughter's hand.

Yinhua smiled, touched Da Ya's small face, and replied: "Yes, Auntie has a lot of good things."

"I want." Da Ya stretched out her hand, looking at Yinhua expectantly, and even Xu Lan looked at her expectantly.

Unexpectedly, Yinhua patted Da Ya's palm lightly and said: "But why should I give it? We can't be people who get something for nothing. Even the little tiger knows that if he wants to eat snacks, he must recite the book first. Da Ya also You don’t want to be such a person, do you?”

Da Ya looked at her ignorantly, probably not expecting to be rejected, so she looked at Xu Lan with some grievances.

Only then did Yinhua wake up, she smiled embarrassedly at Xu Lan, "I've been teaching the little tiger how to behave these days, and I blurted it out before I knew it, sister, don't be overwhelmed."

"Children need to be taught a lot, you can't be so shallow-sighted." Xu's mother agreed, took the hairpin out of the big girl's hand, and inserted it into her hair.

Everyone was silent for a while without speaking. Seeing this, Yinhua immediately asked: "By the way, you must be hungry all the way here. What would you like to eat tonight, but is there anything you should not eat?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, let's eat whatever we want."

"This welcome banquet is still unavoidable. You chat slowly, and I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." She said, and went into the kitchen with Xia Hong.

Entering the prestige, the two glanced at each other, each sighed, and the other servants in the kitchen also sighed.Back then, it was Xia Hong and Xia Bai who followed Yinhua to marry as a dowry, as well as the cook, his wife and their son.The cook's man is named Zhao, Xia Hong and Xia Bai call them both Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, and Zhao Heizi, who is now Xu Mu's attendant, follows him in every day and is not at home during the day.Yinhua thought that Xu Mu's family is not big, so these few servants are enough, and they can save some monthly bills, but it is definitely not enough for so many people to serve this big family.

Yinhua sighed because she felt helpless, but when she heard the servants sighing too, she couldn't help laughing, "What are you sighing for?"

"I'm afraid I'll be a vegetarian again." Aunt Zhao said in a low voice.

"It's as if you didn't steal the roast chicken." Yinhua rolled her eyes at them, and said, "Don't worry, there's meat today, including chicken, duck and fish. We'll fry two more dishes and make a pot of good wine."

"But there is no money in the house." Xia Hong said with a straight face.

"Go and pawn the hairpin I wear most often."

"Miss, do you really want to be one?"

Yinhua gave her a white look, "You are stupid, let him go to the residence of Marquis Zhongguo."

Even though she was in the original Cheng's mansion when she got married, a courtyard was still reserved for the three sisters in the Zhongguohou's mansion, and all the things the two of them had used but not brought to the in-law's house were put in this courtyard.Yinhua keeps her small treasury in her house, where she puts all the accounts related to her dowry, although it is inconvenient to go to the Hou's mansion when she needs to know the amount, fortunately at such a time Not much, and she is not afraid of this little trouble.She was glad that she didn't covet convenience and put her important things in her home. Looking at Da Ya's actions, she knew that this habit of rummaging through things was passed down in one continuous line.

Mother Xu also rummaged through her things. She was in the delivery room in the backyard when she was in confinement. Mother Xu went in and rummaged when she saw that there was no one in the main room.Of course, she just turned around and didn't take anything, but she also made Yinhua who knew it angry.

When the little tiger came back in the evening, he saw a few more strangers in the house, and stood behind Yinhua a little timidly.Xu Lan pulled him over affectionately, and said to him, "Little Tiger, I'm your aunt. We met a few years ago."

The little tiger nodded, and called timidly, "Auntie."

"Hey, come here, this is your cousin and your two cousins. They are good kids. Come on, let's play together."

The little tiger looked at these young children who were younger than him, and looked at Yinhua helplessly: "Mother, I want to practice calligraphy first."

Yinhua wanted to laugh to herself, she didn't know how the child stayed in the academy, she nodded approvingly at him, "Okay, let's go back to the house and practice calligraphy."

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Lan shyly, and said, "Little sister, little tiger has already decided what time to do every day. A good work and rest habit can affect a lifetime, so it's better not to break it easily."

"Oh, that's what you said." Xu Lan nodded with a sneer, thinking to herself, what's the fuss about, isn't it just playing for a while, whose children didn't play when they were young.

But the little tiger who went out immediately ran back, shouting while running, "Mom, there is a strange uncle in my room."

"That's your uncle. They live in your house these few days, and you come back to live with your mother." Yinhua said, she forgot to tell him about it just after he came back.

Although the little tiger didn't like to sleep alone, when he heard that his house was occupied by others, he immediately became unhappy and cried in the house: "That's my house."

As soon as the little tiger cried, he recruited Xu's father and Xu's mother.

"what happened……"

When the two heard the reason from the crying little tiger, they looked at Yinhua in embarrassment, and Yinhua also looked at them in embarrassment, and then reluctantly carried the little tiger back to the house.

"Good boy, don't cry, your face is going to burst from crying." Yinhua smiled, took the handkerchief to wipe his face, saw that he was still crying, and asked amusedly: "Why, don't you want to be with your mother?" sleep?"

As soon as the little tiger heard this, he stopped crying immediately. That's right, he doesn't have to sleep alone anymore, he can sleep with his parents again.Yile choked him up, and the tears in Chou's eyes also fell out.

"Mom, can we sleep?" he asked.

When he was asked to move out in the first place, it was an excuse that so many people could not fit in one bed.Yinhua smiled and pointed to the couch next to her.

"It's okay, your father sleeps there."

The little tiger immediately clapped his hands gleefully, and said with a smile, "That's great."

"Yes, that's great."

Later, when Xu Mu came back from his duty, he already knew about the arrival of his brother-in-law's family, but he didn't know that he was going to sleep on the couch for a while.

In the evening, Xu Mu was a little surprised when he saw a large table of dishes. He had already heard Yinhua say that the family had no money left, and asked him if he wanted to borrow some emergency from the Hou family.He didn't agree at the time, but did she borrow the dishes for this table?

Xu Lan's family ate very poorly all the way here, and finally managed to eat a good meal, so of course they let their stomachs go.Yan Xiuzi was okay, she still cared about her face, but the others were all flying with their chopsticks, Xu Lan was the fastest among them, and Yinhua saw her snatch a piece of meat from under the chopsticks of Da Ya, so she also let her open it. eyesight.The eldest child of Xu Lan’s family is Daya, who is one year younger than Xiaohuo and is five years old this year; Dalang and Erlang are four years old and the other is only two years old. The two-year-old is actually not even one year old, but has been weaned, Yinhua At first, I thought he was still breastfeeding, after all, Xu Lan didn't mention to ask the kitchen to prepare rice paste, but when I saw Xu Lan feeding him with broth and rice, I felt something was wrong.

"Little sister, this broth is too salty, it's not suitable for children under one year old. It's best for children not to eat salt before one year old, and we should eat it lightly." Yinhua said nicely.

"It's okay, you Da Ya and Da Lang are all fine."

Hearing this, Yinhua had nothing to say, after all, Zhuhua told her this method of raising children, she said it was from a book, and it could protect the baby's internal organs, and she didn't know if it was accurate.She said what she said, and there was nothing she could do if people didn't listen to her.

However, these children's poor eating habits made Xu's father angry. When Da Ya and Da Lang almost fought for the chicken legs, he couldn't help but slapped the table.

"It's a mess, how did you teach it?" Father Xu scolded.

While gnawing on another chicken leg, Xu Lan put down her chopsticks and looked at Xu's mother aggrievedly.

Unexpectedly, Xu's mother said: "Let's go, our girls and children should go to the kitchen to eat, and let them have a good drink."

Xu Lan nodded helplessly, but Yinhua didn't agree. She didn't go to the kitchen to eat after returning to Chang'an. Even the servants had a room to eat by themselves. Why would she stay in the kitchen?

"Mother-in-law, let's go over there and set up a small table. Xia Bai, let someone divide the dishes and bring them here, just like the princess did before."

"Yes." Xia Bai agreed, and immediately set up a simple small table beside him, and asked people to bring in trays of rice. The rice was covered with side dishes, and there were no other side dishes on the table. .

"Just eat like this, so they won't fight." Yinhua said to Xu Lan with a smile, and then looked at Da Ya: "Good boy, eat slowly, you can add more after the whole plate is eaten, as much as you want."

Da Ya and Da Lang nodded happily, and began to gobble up the food on the plate.The little tiger at the same table used to eat normally, but seeing them like this today, he ate more politely. After eating, he sat on the edge of the table and didn't bother to leave the table to play.

Seeing Yinhua, she immediately boasted: "The little tiger is so good, he eats really cleanly."

The little tiger raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly, holding back his laughter, which made Xu's mother praise him too.I have to say that Xu's mother also felt that her grandson was much more disciplined than her grandson. Before, she thought that Yinhua was too aggressive in controlling children, but now she thinks about it, she is still more aggressive.After the meal, the women and children went back to their rooms.

As soon as the little tiger entered the house, he quietly asked Yinhua: "Mother, why are my cousins ​​like this? Are their families poor?"

Little Tiger actually has no concept of poverty, but sometimes when Yinhua takes him to the street, she will point to the beggars on the street and tell him to be good and stop spending money. If the money becomes poor, people will have nothing to eat and have to go beg.When he saw that they were rushing to eat, he thought of this, so he asked this question.

Yinhua touched his head and said: "They are not poor, they don't know the rules. You see, your mother taught you the rules before, asking you to be polite, making you humble, and letting you become well-behaved. If Without rules, even if you are not poor, you still look like a poor man. Also, you can learn more rules from books, don’t the teachers in your college have more rules than Grandpa Zhao at home?”

The little tiger thought for a while, nodded, and said, "I want to be a person who obeys the rules."

"Yes, that's a good boy."

Yinhua knows that she may not remember all the little tigers she is talking about now, but many things start from little by little influence, and the children she teaches cannot be worse than those taught by Zhuhua, even though she has many The methods of teaching children are all learned from when Zhuhua taught intestines.
