Chapter 1117 Father and Son Conversation
As the sky outside gradually darkened, Hongwang's personal eunuch, Xiao Xiezi, lit the lamp in the room.

"Brother, do you want to take a break? The prince is probably coming soon."

"Ah."

Hongwang put down the book in his hand.In fact, he just didn't look into it at all.

In my impression, in the past two years, Ba Ye had never had a meal with him alone.For him, Baye is strict most of the time.It seemed that all his tenderness was given to Eniang and his younger sister.

Hongwang is not jealous at all.He is the only elder brother in the mansion, and he has no brothers, so the responsibilities on him are naturally different.Ama should be strict with him.

But now that he has a younger brother, why is Ba Ye looking for him at this time?Is it because he is afraid that he has thoughts in his heart?

Although he seldom plays with his friends on weekdays, when Hong Hui was still living next door, he often went to visit.At that time, Honghui had several brothers.There are both descendants and concubines.Everyone plays together, and there are always congenial personalities.He had also seen them competing for favor in front of Si Fujin.

At that time, he thought it was fun, and he would occasionally join in the fun.But now that I think about it, there are too many children in a mansion, and it is impossible for parents to have an equal bowl of water, so the attention paid to each child is naturally different.Otherwise, there would be no folk saying that children who can cry will have milk.

Just as he was engrossed in his thoughts, Eighth Master arrived.

"Still working hard?" Seeing him sitting in front of the desk, Ba Ye asked.

"Ah, Ama!" Hongwang hurriedly stood up and saluted, "My son has met Ama!"

"What book are you reading?" Eighth Master came over and asked with a smile.

"My son is in a daze, not reading." Hongwang said with a smile.

A trace of surprise flashed in Ba Ye's eyes, and he still smiled and asked, "In a daze? What are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything! Let my mind go blank." Hongwang said.

Ba Ye couldn't help but glanced at him, and said, "Have you been doing too much homework lately?"

"Fortunately, my son is used to it." Hongwang smiled slightly.

Because Mao Tongtong was in labor, he really neglected Hongwang a lot.Looking carefully now, the ten-year-old boy has already reached his shoulders, but his figure is thin, and his eyes are clear and energetic.I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

It was the time when his body was growing up, so he was so focused on asking about his homework that he forgot to care about the child's body.

"Looks like you've lost weight, don't you have a bad appetite?" Ba Ye reached out and touched Hongwang's cheek.

Hongwang froze obviously, and almost turned his head to avoid it.

"No, my son eats a lot." Hongwang was a little embarrassed.

Ba Ye glanced at Xiao Xie Zi who was standing beside him, and the latter hurriedly said: "My elder brother is growing up! Every meal is quite a lot, but there is no meat."

Ba Ye nodded, thinking that this slave would not dare to lie, and said again: "It's getting late, let's have dinner."

"Yes, this servant will go and order." Xiao Xiezi agreed, and hurriedly retreated.

Ba Ye went to the desk and sat down, Hongwang's heart tightened for no reason, and he stood aside, suppressing a trace of anxiety with his downcast eyes.

The desk is covered with calligraphy that Hongwang practiced in the afternoon, and there is also a half-read "Historical Records".Eighth Master flipped through it casually, but didn't speak.

Hongwang stood for a while, his heart gradually calmed down, and the trace of uneasiness floating in his heart dissipated.

"My writing has improved." Ba Ye looked up at Hongwang, with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for the compliment, Ama." Hongwang was not humble, grinning, and said, "My son has always remembered what Ama said. If you want to write well, there is no shortcut, just practice more."

Ba Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Your Uncle Huang taught you Ah Ma that's what I said to practice calligraphy. You worked harder than Ah Ma when she was young."

"My son doesn't want to disappoint Ama." Hongwang said.

This is his truth.

When he was a child, he didn't have a clear goal.As the only elder brother in the mansion, it can be said that he is held in the hands of everyone.But when he grew up a bit, and saw people entering the backyard of Ba Ye one by one, he felt different in his heart.At that time, Yi Fujin was still there, and later Nianbian Fujin came. He realized that his Erniang's status was not so stable, so he wanted to rely on his own efforts to support Erniang.

It was only at that time that he became stricter with himself, and he also had a clear idea of ​​the position of the son.In his opinion, only by inheriting the position of the eldest son can he give Er Niang the most worry-free life!
Looking at Hongwang's serious expression, Ba Ye couldn't help but praise him in his heart.This child has a sharp mind and can hold his breath. He is a man who can take care of things.

"Ama always thinks you are very good." Ba Ye smiled and patted Hongwang on the shoulder.

The little Xiezi in the outer room has already asked the two of them to have dinner.

"Let's go, we father and son haven't eaten alone for a long time." Ba Ye said.

"En." Hongwang nodded, his eyes brighter than before.

Both father and son follow the rules when eating, and they don't talk about their food.So the meal was very quiet, but Hongwang felt happy in his heart.Especially after Ba Ye picked up a slice of fish with chopsticks for him, the smile on the corner of his mouth could no longer be concealed.

Unlike most children who love meat, Hongwang has loved fish since he was a child.This is especially similar to Mao Tongtong.He likes both lake fish and sea fish.

At this time, Ba Ye could remember, which warmed Hongwang's heart.

After dinner, father and son rinsed their mouths, and Eighth Master got up.

"Would you like to go for a walk with Ama to digest food?" He turned around and asked.

"Okay!" Hongwang replied loudly.

The father and son went out of the house together, walking one after the other.

It was early spring at this time, and it was still a little cool after nightfall.But Hongwang didn't feel it at all.Following behind Ba Ye, I just feel that the moonlight tonight is no longer as cool as before.

"Always live in the front yard alone, but are you still used to it?" Eighth Master asked casually.

"Well, I'm used to it." Hongwang nodded, "My son has lived here for four years."

"Yeah, it's been four years." Ba Ye sighed, "Time flies so fast."

"When you were a child, you used to make a fuss about asking your mother to give birth to a younger brother so that I could play with you. You said you were lonely. Now you are really grown up." Eighth Master laughed.

"That's because my son was ignorant when he was young." Hongwang blushed slightly.He also vaguely remembered.Later, Erniang gave birth to a younger sister, and he was still not happy.

"Now your mother-in-law really gave birth to a younger brother for you. It's a pity that you two have such a big age difference. I'm afraid you won't be able to play together." Eighth Master said.

Hongwang paused, and said: "The son can teach Ama for him and set an example for him."

"Being an elder brother is too strict, I'm afraid he will be unpopular!" Eighth Master laughed.He suddenly remembered the scene when fourth master was in the study.Except for him, I am afraid that none of the younger brothers like him.

They are all half-grown children, how do they like to be controlled by people with a straight face all day long?If Hongwang is really such an elder brother, Chun'er will suffer a lot!
