Concubine's Child-raising Strategy

"Brother Xiu, do you understand what your second brother said?" Shouning Hou Sima Jin asked this question.After hearing this, Sima Xiu hurriedly replied: "Second brother is right, but I didn't think it through enough."

"You two brothers are both the sons of the father. As the father, I hope you two can learn more from each other." After saying this, Sima Jin, Marquis of Shouning, looked at the second son again and said: "Brother Xiu Er, Ji Geer’s words are reasonable, but it’s because he is always by the Holy Majesty’s side, which means he can use the facts to see things clearly.”

"Similarly, Brother Ji, you are not as safe as your elder brother when you are with the Holy One. People often say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. As a father, I hope you will be cautious in your words and deeds. Just like your mother said, it is good to be safe. . " Sima Jin, Marquis of Shouning, also cared for his son in this remark.

After Sima Xiu and Sima Ji heard this, the two brothers naturally hurriedly agreed.

Sima Jin, Marquis of Shouning, looked at the second son in front of him, feeling relieved in his heart.After all, the two of them had already started to grow up. Look at it, the next generation of Shouning Hou Mansion can also start to be the pillars of the imperial court.As their father, Shouning Hou Sima Jin was naturally very happy.

On the same night, in the Shouning Marquis Mansion, Yuya felt a little anxious because of her daughter Sima Qing'er.Well, Shouning Hou Sima Jin is obviously proud of his sons.

Then, after getting the iron-bodied bow presented by Sima Qing'er, Li Zhongqi had some leisure this night, he took the veil carefully, and wiped the iron-bodied bow.

"Second brother, is this bow that good? You can't stop looking at it. It looks so careful. It's like facing a precious treasure?" Li Xiuniang entered the yard and sat by the window. The former second elder brother Li Zhongqi looked like this, and couldn't help asking.

"Meier has seen my cousin." Hu Meier, who came with Li Xiuniang, was busy entering the room, and gave Li Zhong a blessing.Li Zhongqi stopped what he was doing, then he looked up at his younger sister Li Xiuniang and cousin Hu Meier, and said with a smile: "Sister, you have to change your temper."

After speaking, Li Zhongqi put the iron tire bow on the table, then he got up and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are so polite."

"It's so late. The two of you didn't rest, but you still came to see me. What's the matter?" Li Zhongqi asked.Hearing Li Zhongqi's question, Li Xiuniang replied: "Mother said that she hasn't seen her second brother for a long time, and she misses her very much. No, I'll ask my second brother to visit my mother."

After Li Zhongqi heard this, he didn't say much.After he stopped there for a while, he asked, "Mother's illness. Is it better?"

After hearing this, Li Xiuniang snorted coldly twice, and said: "Father never went to see mother, I'm afraid she will have to take care of her illness." After hearing Li Xiuniang's words, Li Zhongqi fell silent.

Li Zhongqi glanced at Hu Meier.Said: "These days, thanks to my cousin who is always with my mother. My cousin, I have to thank my cousin."

"Sister, let's go, brother, I will go visit mother with you." Li Zhongqi said this after thanking Hu Meier.

During the trip of the two brothers and sisters, there was an extra Hu Meier, who went to the courtyard of Mrs. Dingguo together.

Mrs. Dingguo's courtyard is very large.Of course, it happened to be on the axis of Dingguo Mansion.The main courtyard in the central location is naturally high-end, grand, and upscale.

However, wait for Li Zhongqi, his younger sister Li Xiuniang, and Hu Meier to arrive at the courtyard.You will find the looks of the servants in the yard, everyone is a little bit down.Haven't entered Mrs. Dingguo's bedroom yet.Didn't Li Zhongqi and the others hear a woman's voice from his wife, saying: "Nurse, take the medicine. What's the point of my wife being alive?"

There was something even more desolate in this crying sound.

"..." Li Zhongqi waved his hand, rejecting the servant's report.Then, he, his younger sister Li Xiuniang, and Hu Meier entered the house.

"Mother." After Li Xiuniang entered the room, she called the woman in the inner room.Of course, this call also showed that the identity of the woman on the couch in the inner room was none other than Mrs. Ding Guogong.

"My brother and I came to see you." As soon as Li Xiuniang said this, Mrs. Dingguo sat up and looked at Li Zhongqi and Li Xiuniang.

"Zhong Qi, you're here." Mrs. Dingguo's wife had a look of joy in her eyes.She stood up facing Li Zhong, and still forced a smile.Of course, this smile is not very pretty.After all, Mrs. Dingguo is really a sick person, she is thin and thin, and her face is pale.

"Well, my sister, my cousin and I came to visit my mother." Li Zhongqi stepped forward and bowed to Mrs. Ding.

But Mrs. Dingguo didn't look at Li Xiuniang and Hu Meier at this moment, she just looked at Li Zhongqi and said: "Zhongzhi, you don't need to be polite. Come, come to mother and let mother have a look."

Seeing the enthusiasm of Mrs. Dingguo, Li Zhongqi did not refuse, but approached Mrs. Dingguo.However, Li Xiuniang who was standing next to her frowned, her face was a little unhappy.Of course, at this time, Hu Meier was standing beside Li Xiuniang, or she was pulling at the hem of Li Xiuniang's clothes.

Seeing Hu Meier's respectful look, and then looking at Mrs. Dingguo, who only has a son and doesn't see her daughter.Li Xiuniang also shut up and remained silent.

"Mother, this medicinal soup is prescribed by a doctor. If you don't use it, wouldn't it be a waste of your own body?" Li Zhongqi looked at the medicinal soup brought by the nurse next to him, and said these words.

After hearing this, Mrs. Dingguo waved her hand towards Mammy and said, "Since Zhong Qi said so, why would Mother not take medicine. Mammy, give me the medicine." The mammy next to him listened to Ding After Mrs. Guo's words fell, she also had some joy on her face, and hurriedly handed over the medicine.

Under Li Zhongqi's respect, Mrs. Dingguo drank the medicinal soup in one go.

After waiting for the medicinal soup, the lady looked at her son Li Zhongqi and asked, "Zhongqi, are you busy these days, why don't you come to see your mother?"

"Xiuniang, you didn't tell your brother, is your mother sick?" While she was being kind to Li Zhongqi, when Mrs. Dingguo looked at her daughter, her expression was not very good.This tone doesn't sound like you're talking to your own daughter, but you're like a stepmother to a stepdaughter.

Looking at Mrs. Dingguo's attitude towards her children, the old nanny next to her respectfully let the maid take away the things after Mrs. Dingguo finished taking the medicine.Then, he became a wooden stake, but he didn't mention a word of nonsense.

"..." Li Xiuniang's eyelids turned red at this time, and her complexion was even worse.

"Look, Xiu Niang, what's your attitude? Mother is just asking a question. Are you putting on face for Mother?" Mrs. Ding Guogong said this with a rather displeased expression.

Li Zhongqi hurriedly said: "Mother, don't care about my sister's affairs, it's because my son has been doing more homework recently, and he has less time to visit his mother. Mother, you also hope that your son's homework is good and he will be praised by his father, right?"

However, after hearing Li Zhongqi's words, Mrs. Dingguo completely took back the anger left on her daughter's face.Then he laughed, and replied softly: "Zhongqi, your homework is important. If you don't come to see mother, mother knows that you are busy with homework. By the way, where is your father? Why haven't you seen your father lately?"

When Li Zhongqi listened to his mother talking about his father, his hands clenched into fists in that gentle manner, and he never let go.

"Mother, father is busy with errands. Recently, there are a lot of affairs in court, and father has no skills, so he didn't come to see mother..." Li Zhongqi didn't even blink his eyes when he said such lies.Mrs. Dingguo laughed after hearing this, and replied: "So that's the case, I said why I don't see the Duke..."

Seeing Mrs. Dingguo's posture, Li Zhongqi said: "It's getting late, mother must be tired too. Mother should rest early, and son will go to review his homework twice. Sir, son must not embarrass father when he checks tomorrow."

"That's all, Zhong Qi, hurry up and review your homework. You are mother's son, you can't let dad say that you are no better than your elder brother." After Mrs. Dingguo said this, she didn't want to keep her son anymore. , Let Li Zhongqi go to study quickly.

Seeing Mrs. Dingguo talking like this, Li Zhongqi and the old mother served Mrs. Dingguo and took a rest.Then, the old mother accompanied Li Zhongqi, Li Xiuniang, and Hu Meier out of Mrs. Dingguo's dormitory.

After coming outside the yard, it was dark.The sky was gloomy just like Li Zhongqi's mood.

"Mother...is she the most sick?" Li Zhongqi replied to the old mother.After hearing this, the old mother sighed, and said, "Second young master, don't worry, Madam's recent illness is not too serious."

"It's just... Ma'am is suffering when Madam falls ill." When the old nanny looked at Li Xiuniang, her eyes were full of pity.Li Xiuniang didn't say anything when she heard the old mother say this, she just stood there quietly.

"Second brother..." Li Xiuniang also stood there when Li Zhongqi didn't reply, and tried to talk.After listening to his sister's words, Li Zhongqi replied: "I'm fine."

Li Zhongqi really felt that he was fine.He's just tired.

"Nurse, dad...have you ever come to visit mother?" Li Zhongqi asked this question after a long time.Listening to Li Zhongqi's question, the old mama's face became even more ugly, she said: "Second young master, the Duke of Guo hasn't been in the main courtyard since that incident that year."

"Only yesterday, Ma Yiren came to visit my wife instead of the Duke." The old mother replied.

"Really?" Li Zhongqi replied after saying this, "I know what's in my mind. Mother, mother, you have to worry about it."

"Second young master, girl, please rest assured. This servant will definitely take good care of Madam." The old mother replied.Hearing what the old mother said, Li Zhongqi nodded, and then led his younger sister Li Xiuniang and cousin Hu Meier out of the main courtyard of the Dingguo Mansion's back house.
