Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 21 Go to Qingliang Mountain again

"I haven't been there for a long time. I don't remember much about the fun things. Anyway, you can soak in the hot springs."

Tang Jinglin didn't feel that her answer was perfunctory at all, so she leaned her head on her husband's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

The twins have become accustomed to the way their parents get along with each other. They are jealous and so on, but in the end they only get the bitter fruit.

Tang Wensong and Third Master were still escorting them on horseback this time. This time there were many people, many cars, more luggage, and of course more guards, so they didn't dare to be careless at all.

Tang Bingyan did not sit in a carriage with her eldest sister Tang Bingxuan this time. The eldest sister liked to sleep and did not chat with her. She simply let the second sister and the eldest sister take a car, and she and the third sister took a car.

"Mother, Sister-in-law Jiang came to me a few days ago to mention brother Tize's marriage." Young Shao whispered to Mrs. Shao in the carriage.

Shao Ze is the legitimate grandson of the eldest son of the Pingjin Marquis Mansion. He is seventeen years old and has not yet been engaged. Why does Mr. Jiang want to discuss marriage with his cousin in the next room?

Could it be that he wanted Xuan'er to marry into the Pingjin Marquis Mansion? The Shao family and the Rongguo family have been married for two generations, are they planning to marry for a third generation?

"Is it my eldest brother's intention or Jiang's own intention?" Mrs. Tai said with a serious face.

"It's my sister-in-law's wish. Xuan'er is not only good-looking, but she is also a good director, so she wants to marry Brother Ze."

The Third Madam was also embarrassed to mention this, and she knew that this marriage was probably impossible, but it was hard to refuse it when her eldest sister-in-law came to mention it.

"In our Duke's Mansion and the Shao family, it's enough for you and me to get married for two generations. If there is a third generation, it will be a joke for everyone in Kyoto."

When Mrs. Tai got married to the old Duke, the old Duke fell in love with her and went to Shao's house to ask for her hand in marriage.

The marriage between Xiao Shao and the third master was a mutual affection between cousins, and their parents were happy to see it happen.

As for Tang Bingxuan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Rongguo, the threshold was almost crossed by those who came to ask for her, so there was no need to remarry and return to the Pingjin Houfu to serve two generations of mothers-in-law.

"In a few days, you can go directly to the Pingjin Marquis Mansion and tell your sister-in-law that it's my intention. If this marriage doesn't work out, it's better for Brother Ze to find someone else." Madam Tai immediately dismissed Jiang's thoughts.

Seeing that the matter had been concluded, Xiao Shao stopped mentioning it and bowed his head.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, everyone cleaned up, had lunch, and went to the yard to rest.

Although several children come out to play, their homework cannot be left behind. Tang Bingyan and Tang Bingyu's homework was tutored and supervised by Tang Bingxuan and Tang Bingqing. Tang Wensong and Tang Wenyun were watching the homework of Primary Four and Primary Five.

Since the twins set out for Kyoto, their homework has not been continued. Yuan Bozheng and his wife usually teach them temporarily.

When Zhuangzi arrived, he discovered that the two little cousins ​​needed to complete the homework assigned by their husband. The two little cousins ​​had to study both literature and martial arts, so they couldn't slack off when they went out to play.

Suddenly, a feeling of comparison came to mind, and he begged his grandmother to let his eldest cousin and second cousin teach him his homework and martial arts.

"Oh, they are all good grandsons of their grandmothers. They are good children who are diligent and studious. Let your second cousin first see what books you have read and what foundation you have, and then let your first cousin teach you how to practice martial arts and squat horse steps."

Mrs. Tai was very pleased with her grandson's eagerness to learn. It seemed that her son-in-law taught her well and was not a child who cheated and acted without sense of propriety.

"Since you two asked for it, you must take it seriously. Don't let your grandmother and cousins ​​down by spending three days fishing and two days drying the net just because studying is boring and martial arts training is hard." Tang Jinglin quickly gave her two sons a hug. Tight skin.

"We are no longer children, we will definitely persevere." Yuan Hao quickly expressed his determination, and Yuan Sheng nodded in agreement without saying a word. "If you can persevere in Zhuangzi these days, then you can study literature and martial arts with your cousins ​​in the Duke's Mansion." Mrs. Tai promised.

Yuan Bozheng agreed that his sons could study literature and martial arts in the Duke's Mansion. After all, his family did not have the knowledge and background to find outstanding teachers and martial arts masters in the Duke's Mansion.

"Grandma, you are so kind. We will not let you down."

The madam looked at her two grandsons and said: "As long as you complete your daily homework, you can go and play as much as you want. You are still young, so you must learn to combine work and rest."

The two nodded in agreement.

...

On the last day of March, Rong Guogong and Second Master Xiu Mu took a carriage and arrived at Zhuangzi in Qingliang Mountain early in the morning.

Everyone walked to Qingliang Mountain again in light clothes. This time Tang Bingyan was very good and climbed all the way to the top of the mountain.

At this time of year, everyone has put on early summer clothes, and the tall trees have lush branches and leaves, which have already formed a shade. The family is talking and laughing while climbing up, which is a beautiful sight for everyone to see.

When we arrived at Qingliang Temple on the top of the mountain, Zhike monk informed the abbot, Master Jiaowu, to greet the distinguished guests. Everyone paid homage to the Buddha in turn, donated money for sesame oil, and then went to the wing to rest.

Tang Bingxuan looked at the same yard as last time and thought of the man lying in the grass. There should be no such adventure this time.

The third master asked the abbot if hunting and barbecue could be done in the back mountain, and the abbot said, "Although I don't kill animals in my temple, in a quiet place of Buddhism, I still don't commit the crime of killing."

It seems that eating barbecue on the mountain is not possible. Fortunately, I brought some pastries and vegetarian dishes from the temple.

After everyone had a rest, they went to the mountain behind the temple. Sure enough, the peach forest was in bloom, and the ground was covered with fallen petals. It was so beautiful.

"This place is so beautiful. Let's quickly lay out the straw mats and lay out the things." Mrs. Liu quickly ordered the accompanying maids and servants.

Everyone was sitting on straw mats, some were playing chess, some were eating cakes, and some were particularly fond of the vegetarian dishes in the temple.

The lunch meal was still refreshing and delicious. After asking the monks in the temple, I found out that these ingredients were grown hard in the backyard by the monks themselves. They used spring water from the mountains, so they were better than vegetables grown in ordinary fields. It's sweet and delicious.

"Big girl, please play a piece of music for us first." The third master directly named Tang Bingxuan to play the piano, so that the girl would not be lazy.

Tang Bingxuan originally asked Tang Bingqing to bring the piano to play, but this time it was better, but she dug a hole for herself.

Tang Bingxuan was slandering in her heart, but she bowed respectfully to the elders and played the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters".

The third master casually took out a piccolo from his lapel, and in response to the sound of Tang Bingxuan's piano, everyone seemed to feel that in the world, there were only the sound of peach blossoms falling to the ground, the sound of the piano, and the sound of the piccolo.

As soon as the song was over, others also performed.

Tang Wensong directly practiced a set of boxing techniques, and was given some pointers by Rong Guogong, who only asked him to "keep up the good work."

Tang Bingqing directly painted with ink and submitted a poem, which was well received by everyone.
