Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

Time flies, four years have passed by in a flash, Sheng'er has grown from a whimpering baby into a running and jumping child, from what Li Zao said, Sheng'er and Si Qinghu were almost carved out of the same mold when they were young Yes, with snow-white skin, round almond eyes, as beautiful as a little fairy from heaven and earth.But his personality followed Xiao Tong's, with honey in his mouth, and he was very pleasing to adults when he spoke.Even as Xiao Tong used to be naughty and playful, he didn't like to study, and after only half a year of studying, he left two enlightenment teachers angrily, making Si Qinghu and Xiao Tong extremely distressed.

The new Mr. Enlightenment has not yet been invited. Before going out to the tooth shop this day, Si Qinghu told Linger to watch Xiao Sheng write.

At dusk, Xiao Tong came back from Da Nei, first went back to Yaxing and Si Qinghu went back to Xiao's house together.

The two walked on the promenade, chatting about their daughter's studies.

"How's the search for Sheng'er's mentor?" Si Qinghu asked.

Xiao Tong: "Don't worry, ma'am, I've already negotiated a deal with a young female gentleman. After hearing about Sheng'er, she still thinks she's quite interesting."

Si Qinghu smiled helplessly. After getting along with Sheng'er, I'm afraid this gentleman won't think so.

Stepping into the courtyard outside the study, Xiao Tong couldn't help smiling, walked quickly to the door of the study, and said cheerfully, "Cheng'er, mother is back!"

Squeaking open the door.

"The words are written..."

She wanted to ask "how is the writing?", but the last three words were choked in her throat because of the scene in front of her.

The person sitting in front of the desk is not her daughter, but Linger.

Ling'er's hands and wrists were tightly bound by a circle of cloth, and her mouth was also covered by a piece of cloth. The cloth strips were wrapped around her face and tied at the back of her head, making it impossible for her to speak.After seeing Xiao Tong and Si Qinghu, he immediately twisted his body and yelled.

"Linger!"

Si Qinghu turned pale with shock, and immediately stepped forward to untie Ling'er.

"What happened? Where's Sheng'er?" She seemed to have discovered the truth, "Did Cheng'er bully you?"

Ling'er's eyes were filled with water, and she felt wronged and wanted to cry.

Today, Si Qinghu ordered her to instruct Xiaodangjia to write and not let her go to play until she finished writing. As a result, Xiaodangjia just wrote a piece of paper and couldn't sit still like a needle piercing her buttocks, crying out to play. Naturally, Ling'er can't live up to the young lady's entrustment, so she won't allow it.

The little boss acted like a baby and begged to no avail. He procrastinated and did not write enough papers. After lunch, he asked the little boss to sleep with her. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, his hands and mouth were tied, and the door of the study was closed. Closed, no one found her, so she was tied up for a long time!

Si Qinghu was so angry that his panting quickened, his body trembled imperceptibly, and his usual calm temperament could no longer hold back his sullen anger.

How could she give birth to such a wicked thing?

"Miss, it's all because of Ling'er's sleepiness, which made the young master run away." Ling'er said guiltily.

Xiao Tong hurriedly said: "I can't blame you for this matter, it's because Sheng'er is too naughty, I'd better get her back soon!"

The three of them left the study room and searched for a long time in the Xiao family's mansion, and then they ran into Madam Li next to Jiang's, and learned from her that Xiao Sheng was playing in the old lady's house.

When Xiao Tong and Si Qinghu rushed to Jiang's place, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Li's son, who was half a year younger than her, were fighting crickets vigorously.

A white ceramic cricket jar is placed on the countertop, and two children lie on the countertop, each holding a piece of cricket grass, which is used to tease the two large black and yellow crickets in the jar, causing them to fight and kill each other.

Xiao Sheng was dressed in blue embroidered clothes, his hair was combed to one corner on each side of his head, tied tightly with red satin, he was as cute as a doll.She didn't notice that her mother and mother were coming, and she played the cricket's beard with grass, and shouted very excitedly: "General Black, hit it! Hit it!"

Black General was the name she had given her cricket.

The three-and-a-half-year-old cousin sitting across from her was also shouting vigorously, constantly teasing her cricket beard to make it fight back.

Sitting on the couch leaning on a cane, Jiang shi, although with silver hair, more wrinkles on his face, and a lot of age, looked cheerful when he saw his great-grandson having fun in front of him.

"Xiao Sheng!" A clear and stern voice suddenly came.

The little girl looked up suddenly in fright, and saw her mother and mother standing at the door, the mother looked very angry!

She originally planned to go back to the study to untie elder sister Ling'er after this round of fighting, elder sister Ling'er loves her so much, she would definitely not tell mother and mother about this, but she did not know that mother and mother came back so early.

Turning her black eyes, she quickly dropped the cricket grass in her hand, ran to Jiang's side like a frightened chicken, tugged at Jiang's sleeves to seek shelter, and looked at Si Qinghu timidly.

Si Qinghu walked towards her slowly: "It's useless for you to hide behind Grandma."

Just as she was about to reach out to hold her daughter, the daughter quickly climbed onto the couch and hid behind Jiang, "Grandma, save me!"

"Grandma, don't help her. Not only did she fail to write well today, but she even tied up Ling'er. She's so naughty, she can't do without a lesson!"

Holding his cane, Jiang stood up with a smile, and looked at his great-granddaughter lovingly, "So you didn't listen to your mother and ran out to play before you finished writing. You should be punished!"

When Sheng'er came here to play, she told her that the handwriting was finished, and the Jiang family allowed them to fight crickets here.

Xiao Sheng pouted his pink lips, and lowered his eyes guiltily because of the lie exposed.

"I'm sorry, grandma." At this time, I must seek the understanding of my grandma in order to be protected.

Sure enough, Jiang's heart softened when he heard the apology, looked at Si Qinghu and said: "This kid's temperament is to follow Shiro and love to play. Shiro used to like to play cockfights, and Sheng'er loved to fight crickets."

Xiao Tong felt the connotation, and pursed his lips guiltyly.Although Jiang said that the child followed the original body's personality, she herself was almost the same as her daughter when she was a child. She was also playful and didn't like reading.

Sheng'er is indeed like her.

Jiang continued: "As long as you are good at teaching, it's fine!"

Si Qinghu was so angry that he was speechless, is it okay to be like Xiao Tong?One must know that Xiao Tong was a well-known playboy in the past.Now her daughter is simply replicating Xiao Tong's growth process. Relying on her status as the head of the family, she is doted on by her grandma, Xiao Tong, and even the whole family.

At such a young age, she has a bad personality and is playful and loses her mind. If this continues, another notorious playboy will appear in the Xiao family!

No matter what, Si Qinghu couldn't let this kind of thing happen to his daughter.

Seeing that Si Qinghu was about to teach his daughter a lesson in front of his grandma, Xiao Tong quickly stepped forward to pick up his daughter, and said to Si Qinghu: "You should be punished, Qinghu, we will teach you a lesson when we go back."

Xiao Sheng was carried out of Grandma's house by his mother, feeling that a catastrophe was imminent, so scared that he kicked his calf in the air, begging endlessly, "Grandma, save me..."

Si Qinghu released Xiao Sheng's cricket, and asked her to apologize to Ling'er, promising that she would never do tricky things or hurt others in the future.

Ling'er really loved the young master to the bottom of her heart, even though she was tied up for a long time, she still pleaded for her in front of Si Qinghu.

While the whole family was eating lunch, Xiao Sheng was locked in the study, and he had to fill in the words that he was going to write today before he could eat.

No matter how the family tried to persuade him, Si Qinghu was determined not to give in, and he had to use severe measures to deal with this kind of preparatory dandy!

The study was half-lit and half-dark, with an oil lamp burning. Xiao Sheng sat in front of the desk and wrote, his small face was full of reluctance, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

With his right hand behind his back, Xiao Tong walked up to his daughter and said with a gentle smile, "My dear Sheng, have you finished writing?"

"Mother!" Xiao Sheng smiled in surprise, as if he had been saved.

She knew that her mother was not as strict as her mother, so she touched her stomach that was rumbling from hunger and acted coquettishly: "Cheng'er is hungry and wants to eat chicken drumsticks!"

The little guy is simply a miniature version of Si Qinghu. When she begged, she was cute and pitiful. Xiao Tong's heart melted. How could he be willing to punish her and let her starve?

"I knew you loved chicken legs, and my mother brought them to you!"

Xiao Tong stretched out his right hand from behind, holding a small ceramic dish with a big braised chicken leg on it.My daughter loves chicken drumsticks the most, so she specially ordered the kitchen to keep them, and before Si Qinghu finished her meal, she would finish her lunch and go to the kitchen to bring them here.

Xiao Sheng looked at the chicken leg, his eyes sparkled like stars, he picked it up and took a bite into his mouth, chewing the chicken, moaning, "It's better for mother."

Xiao Tong rubbed his daughter's head and said with a smile: "Cheng'er, eat slowly, your mother won't come back so soon."

Xiao Sheng raised his head, ready to take a second bite, but saw Si Qinghu standing in front of her, staring at her, his eyes were not harsh, but it just made her feel inexplicably intimidated at a young age, and the chicken legs froze in her mouth , dare not bite.

Si Qinghu asked: "Have you finished writing?"

Xiao Sheng didn't dare to say anything.

Knowing that he hadn't finished writing, Si Qinghu said coldly: "Put down the chicken legs, and eat after writing."

The child pursed his mouth and remained silent for a long time. When he thought that the chicken leg next to his mouth could not be eaten, his heart became more and more bitter. Tears gradually welled up in his eyes. , "Mother doesn't love me, Cheng'er doesn't like mother anymore!"

Xiao Tong looked at Si Qinghu and smoothed things over with a silly smile, "Qinghu, Cheng'er is hungry."

The daughter said that she didn't like her anymore, Si Qinghu was already uncomfortable enough.When Xiao Tong opened his mouth, she thought that Xiao Tong did not cooperate with her in teaching her daughter at all, and gave food here without telling her.I also felt wronged in my heart, my eyes were full of water, and I took a deep breath: "Since you don't like mother, mother will not care about you in the future. And you Xiao Silang, you let your daughter be the same as you were before. Dude!"

After finishing speaking, Si Qinghu left the study in a fit of anger.

"Hey, Qinghu!" Xiao Tong wanted to catch up, but the daughter in front of her was still crying, which made her at a loss.

It's better to coax the younger one first, after all, the source of Si Qinghu's anger lies in his daughter.

She hugged Xiao Sheng on her lap, wiped away her tears, and coaxed, "Be good, Cheng'er, don't cry. Since Cheng'er is hungry, eat first, and only when you are full will you have the strength to write."

Xiao Tong picked up the chicken leg and brought it to Xiao Sheng's mouth, and fed her bite by bite.

In front of the chicken legs, Xiao BuDian was so greedy that he soon couldn't care less about crying, sobbing and eating.

Xiao Tong wiped her mouth and little hands with a towel, then hugged her into his arms, took her little hand, and taught him patiently: "Cheng'er shouldn't talk to mother like this. Your mother loves you more than anyone else, She is so angry because Sheng'er can become a useful person in the future."

Xiao Sheng thought for a moment, and guilt appeared on his immature face, and he said, "Cheng'er also loves mother, but she made her angry. Is she going to ignore Sheng'er from now on?"

She had never seen her mother lose such a big temper. Even if she got angry with Mr. Enlightenment before, her mother just reprimanded her, how could she not let her eat?She saw tears in her mother's eyes just now, she was the one who made her sad, and she said that she would not care about her from now on.This frightened her, who had not experienced much in the world.

Xiao Tong comforted: "No, mother loves you the most. As long as Sheng'er apologizes to mother after finishing writing tonight, and promises to study hard in the future, mother will definitely forgive Sheng'er."

Xiao Sheng pouted, "But I only like playing, I don't like reading."

Xiao Tong thought of something, and said: "Since Cheng'er likes to play, from tonight, as long as you put your heart into reading and writing, how about mother and mother taking you to Jiangnan for fun next year?"

"Jiangnan!" Xiao Sheng's eyes seemed to be ignited instantly, and he looked at his mother excitedly.

She heard from her mother that Jiangnan is in the southeast of Bianjing, where there are beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is picturesque. Mother also lived there when she was a child, so it must be a fun place.

She nodded, "Okay, Cheng'er is going to Jiangnan with mother and mother!"

"Then Sheng'er, hurry up and write. From now on, you must work hard to read and write."

After Xiao Sheng finished writing ten sheets of paper, he showed it to Si Qinghu, tugged on Si Qinghu's sleeve, and confessed his mistake with shame, "It's Sheng'er who is wrong, sister Ling'er should not be tied up, should not have written If you are good at writing, you can run to play, you shouldn’t make your mother sad, I promise you will listen to your mother in the future, study hard, mother forgive Sheng’er, okay?”

Si Qinghu breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and looked at her daughter at the same level, holding her small face in both hands, her red lips raised a gentle arc, her face was tender and tender, "Okay, since you know you were wrong, mother will forgive you Sheng'er."

"Cheng'er likes mother the most!"

Xiao Sheng grinned, raised his head and kissed Si Qinghu's side face.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Tong lay flat on the bed, beside Si Qinghu who was half a meter away from her, the other party snatched up the whole thin quilt and covered it up to his waist, and slept with his back to her.

Xiao Tong turned around and approached Si Qinghu, put his arms around her from behind, put his chin on the other's shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "Qinghu, Sheng'er promises that she will be obedient and study in the future, please forgive me, okay?"

Si Qinghu said in a cold voice, "Cheng'er said she promised, but if she can't last three days and becomes lazy again, how should I teach her?"

"Pamper her like you do?"

Listening to Si Qinghu's rhetorical question, Xiao Tong knew that the other party was obviously angry because he spoiled his daughter too much.It's fine if you don't cooperate with the goddaughter, but you still get in your way!

Xiao Tong quickly admits his mistake, and promises that in the future when Sheng'er makes mistakes, she will always stand on the same side with her until Cheng'er admits his mistakes and corrects his mistakes.

Si Qinghu's anger subsided a bit, he turned to face Xiao Tong, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "How did you coax Sheng'er to finish writing tonight?"

From the performance of her daughter's apology tonight, Si Qinghu could tell that she was very sincere and well-behaved, unlike the perfunctory ones in the past, as if she really wanted to study hard.

Xiao Tong smiled, "Because I said that as long as she studies hard, I will take her to visit Jiangnan next year."

"Jiangnan?" Si Qinghu was surprised.

Why are you going to Jiangnan all of a sudden?

Xiao Tong said: "I plan to resign and go to Jiangnan to develop my career."

A few years ago, when the Xiao family's injustice case came to light, she went to listen to Wu Shisan's confession, and heard from him a sentence her father Xiao Yuanwang said before his death, "Politics has been the most unstable since ancient times. Since the Shenzong Reform, the old and the new parties have competed with each other, and one day the backers may fall!"

Although this sentence taught Wu Shisan a lesson, why didn't it warn her?

Her official position is the fruit of the new party's victory over the old party. Now her backing is Li Zao and the official family. However, the official family has not been in good health for the past two years. The court has a tendency to revert to old ways. Li Zao must be the first to suffer. As Li Zao's son-in-law, she will inevitably be implicated as an official in the court.

If you want to spend the rest of your life in peace with your wife and daughter, the best way is to resign.

Si Qinghu nodded, agreeing with her thoughts.

"Then why go to Jiangnan?"

Xiao Tong said with a smile: "Didn't Li Zao give you the old house in Hangzhou as a dowry when you got married? Why don't we go over there and open a branch of Xiao's Dental Bank over there. There is no Bianjing over there." Expensive, we can also buy a piece of land to build the fence.”

"Foreign races in the north harass the border from time to time, and the situation will change someday. Industries are distributed in the north and south, so it is always good to spread risks."

On the surface, Xiao Tong explained this to Si Qinghu, but in fact he was worried that the current Song Dynasty would coincide with the Song Dynasty in history.

As we all know, the Song Dynasty in history was divided into the Northern and Southern Songs after experiencing a tragic national humiliation "Jingkang disaster".

Now Hangzhou is not the capital city, and the land price is not expensive, so she will buy a few pieces of land first, and wait for the tide to rise in the future.

Open a branch in Hangzhou and transfer part of the property there. If Bianjing really falls in the future, then her Xiao family's property will not be plundered completely.

Xiao Tong's idea was supported by Si Qinghu and even the whole family, and within a few days she submitted her resignation letter to the officials. Although the officials regretted it, they also respected her intention and approved it.Three months later, after handing over everything, she completely withdrew from the officialdom.

At home, she first learned about the situation of the geisha industry in Hangzhou remotely, and prepared a business plan. In the spring of the second year, she took Si Qinghu and her daughter, as well as four geisha and four buddies from Xiao's dental firm, to charter a boat. The passenger ship goes straight to Hangzhou along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Xiao Tong was reluctant to part with his grandma and wanted to take her with him, but the old man couldn't bear to leave his familiar hometown and spend the rest of his life in a completely unfamiliar place. After thinking about it, no matter how reluctant Xiao Tong's family of three was, he did not go with him.

Bianjing's industry is mature and stable and requires little energy, so Xiao Tong entrusted it to Xiao Zhen and Lin Yifang to take care of it.

Two years ago, Xiao Zhen and Lin Yifang decided to get back together, but Chen disagreed, and after two days of quarreling, the family members persuaded her to give them another chance.

It wasn't the first time Xiao Zhen married Lin Fang, he was so young and immature.After so many years, since she has decided to choose the same person again, it proves that she has thought it through and is confident that they will go to the White House together.

Chen saw that Xiao Tong had a wife and a daughter, and the family of three enjoyed themselves happily. She couldn't bear Xiao Zhen's celibacy like Xiao Yi, so she agreed with them to get back together.

It was springtime in March, a medium-sized passenger ship was slowly sailing on the Grand Canal, with three sails fluttering in the wind, making a rattling noise.

The golden sunset hangs on the hills ahead.

Willows are planted across the bank, and the bright green willows sway in the wind. .

The soft and soothing singing rippling from the boat was as clear as a mountain stream.

Si Qinghu was sitting on a chair on the deck with his daughter in his arms. He was wearing a light green collared shirt with the same color pants, his red lips were lightly parted, and he sang beautifully.Her black hair was coiled up, her eyes looked into the distance without focus, her complexion was tranquil, and her charming temperament was like a fairy in the dust.

Sheng'er was in a very happy mood along the way, with a smile on her face, learning to sing along with her mother, Si Qinghu intentionally taught her to sing one by one.

Xiao Tong heard the singing and came up from the cabin, and looked at the beautiful women, one big and one small, whose bodies were covered with brilliance under the setting sun. The immature voice of a child and the gentle and clear female singing were intertwined. Such a warm scene gave her a lifetime of happiness. A sense of comfort and stability like never before.

As long as the three of them are together, the good days will never end...
