Seriously speaking, Eleventh Lady is also a very competitive person. Otherwise, she would not have chosen to start her own business in her previous life, and she would not have married into the Yongping Marquis's Mansion in her later life. It's just that she is not as radical as Jing'er, and she is unwilling to give in even on trivial matters that have nothing to do with life and death.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.

When to be tough and when to compromise is the helplessness after learning from each experience. He looks calm and free, but with a bit of vicissitudes. Unlike Jing'er, who is still innocent and straightforward at this age, he doesn't know how to tolerate and accommodate. He does whatever he wants and follows his heart, but he seems full of vigor and vitality.

Maybe she was like this when she was a child, but it was so long ago that she couldn't remember it.

Eleventh Lady stood there and sighed for a while, then went to the flower hall.

She asked Master Jian to bring a few skilled embroiderers from the wedding shop to help Zhu Xiang with the embroidery work for her wedding.

I didn’t expect Qiuju to come too.

"Madam," she knelt and saluted Eleventh Lady, "in the past in Yuhang, my sister Zhu Xiang and I slept on the same bed." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, "Now that she is getting married, I want to personally bring someone to embroider her dowry."

Yuhang, they suffered a lot, but because of this they developed deeper feelings than others.

"Then you should take more care of her." Eleventh Lady smiled. "She has been by my side all these years, helping me take care of this and that. I have saved myself a lot of worry, but I have delayed her affairs." She felt quite disappointed.

"I don't agree with what you said, Madam." Qiu Ju pretended to be quick-witted after hearing this, "Back then, we knew nothing. If we hadn't served Madam and learned this and that, how could we be where we are today? Yesterday, I told my head of the family that Amber was lucky to be able to stay with Madam forever."

"After all, I'm in charge of a wedding shop, so my perspective and knowledge are different." Shiyi Niang knew that she was trying to persuade herself, and said to Master Jian with a smile, "Now you know how to persuade others!"

Master Jian laughed, his smile showing his relief.

Shiyi Niang asked Qiuju to take out the flowers she had brought, and several people sat around to discuss how to help Zhuxiang prepare a dowry.

There was a noise outside.

Several people couldn't help but look up.

Then I saw Brother Chen running in, panting, holding a small bow in his hand, followed closely by Brother Jin, who was furious.

"Fourth aunt, fourth aunt," Chen Ge'er threw himself into the arms of Eleventh Lady as he entered the room, "Sixth brother hit me!" As she spoke, Eleventh Lady had already hugged Chen Ge'er.

Having found a protective umbrella, Brother Chen immediately became calm and composed, and even glanced at Brother Jing with pride.

"You're lying!" Jing'er looked at Chen'er hiding in Shiyi Niang's arms, and was so angry that he jumped up and down, "I just wanted to borrow your bow and arrows..."

"That's right, that's right!" Before Jing'er could finish, Chen'er shouted at him, "You saw that I shot your Eight Treasures Glazed Bowl and you were not convinced, so you wanted to take my bow and arrow..."

"I don't care about your broken bow and arrow!" Jing'er's face turned red. "I saw that you shot my eight-treasure glass bowl even though you were standing so far away, so I wanted to see what the difference is between your bow and arrow and mine..."

"Eight Treasures Colored Glass Bowl?" Eleventh Lady was a little surprised. "Why did you take out the Eight Treasures Colored Glass Bowl?"

The eight-treasure colored glaze bowl was about five inches long, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white. The eight colors were like clouds and mist, and it was extremely exquisite. It was Xu Lingyi's collection. Jing'er liked it and spent several days looking for Xu Lingyi to get it. It was placed in Jing'er's hall. Usually, Hong Wen and A Jin would clean it, and the little maids would not dare to touch it.

But the two of them only had eyes for each other, and they started arguing with each other, their faces red.

Eleventh Lady was both amused and confused. She listened carefully for a long time and finally got the general idea.

It turned out that after hearing what Shiyi Niang said, Jin Ge'er immediately ran to find Chen Ge'er in a triumphant manner, saying that although Chen Ge'er could shoot arrows, the arrows he shot out were weak and could not break anything, so they were completely useless. Chen Ge'er was not convinced and took the quiver to get things clear with Jin Ge'er. Jin Ge'er pointed to an incense burner and asked Chen Ge'er to shoot. Chen Ge'er shot five or six arrows and failed to hit the target, so he said that the incense burner was too small and he wanted to change it to a bigger one. Jin Ge'er agreed generously. He also asked Chen Ge'er to pick one at random. Chen Ge'er immediately fell in love with the eight-treasure glass bowl that was slightly smaller than the washbasin.

Jing'er couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

Brother Chen laughed at Brother Jin for being stingy.

When Jing'er heard this, he agreed immediately.

As a result, Brother Chen shot an arrow and hit the eight-treasure glazed bowl.

Brother Jing was dumbfounded.

Brother Chen proudly raised the bow and arrow in his hand.

Jinger came back to his senses and wanted to see his bow and arrow, saying something like "This bow must be a precious bow".

If Chen Ge'er refused to give it to him, Jing Ge'er would try to take it away from him.

Two people, one running and the other chasing, circled around the room... Seeing that the bow and arrow were about to be taken away by Jing'er, Chen'er turned his eyes and ran to Shiyi Niang...

Eleventh Lady was a little stunned.

It has only been a month since the Dragon Boat Festival, and Chen Ge'er has achieved such success. Or, Chen Ge'er is talented in this area?

She pondered and pulled the two children apart: "Okay, okay. You are brothers, why don't you talk to each other in a nice way? You can't quarrel like this!" She added, "Look, everyone is watching you!"

The two of them stopped talking awkwardly, but stared at each other unconvinced.

Eleventh Lady persuaded him for a long time, and Jing'er said that he did not want to take Chen'er's bow and arrow for himself. Chen'er said that Jing'er did not hit him. Then the two of them shook hands awkwardly and made peace.

Chen Ge'er walked away with his bow and arrow on his back, head held high, while Jing Ge'er returned to the house in a depressed mood.

Eleventh Lady sent Master Jian and the others away and immediately went to Jing'er's place. She talked to her son on the pillow of the big kang by the window. She used many metaphors to tell him the truths of "there are people beyond people and mountains beyond mountains" and "brothers are united and their strength can break gold". Jing'er gradually came to his senses and his brows regained their bright look.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the next day when they were squatting in horse stance in Xiumuyuan, the two of them started arguing about whether to squat in horse stance or learn archery first.

Master Pang scolded them a few times, but the two men ignored him. Master Pang simply carried them one by one to the center of the yard and said, "Both of you, lower your backs and dismount!" He told them to squat in the sun.

The two of them snorted at each other and half-knelt down.

The midsummer sun rose very early and was so bright that it made people feel a little irritated.

Jing'er squatted for a while and saw Master Pang sitting on the armchair under the eaves drinking tea, so he quietly moved a few steps to the shade of a tree nearby.

Master Pang was correcting Huang Xiaomao's posture and didn't notice.

When Jing'er saw this, he became even bolder, moved a few steps further, and squatted under the shade of the tree.

Chen Ge'er occasionally looked back and suddenly found that there was a shade above the head of Jing Ge'er who was punished with him. He turned his eyes and immediately understood. While Master Pang was scolding Chang'an, he also moved a few steps to the side. When Master Pang nodded to Chang'an with satisfaction and turned to walk towards the armchair under the eaves, Chen Ge'er moved a few steps to the side again.

In this way, he squatted under the shade of the tree just like Jing'er.

The sunlight shone through the leaves and was reflected on Chen Ge'er's clothes. Chen Ge'er couldn't help but look at Jin Ge'er - if you can do it, I can do it too!

Jing'er had been paying attention to Chen'er, who was punished at the same time as him. Seeing Chen'er move to the shade of the tree, he couldn't help but laugh silently - he still had some sense and didn't stand there stupidly in the sun.

Their eyes met in the air.

One looked provocative, the other looked disdainful... Just as the two turned their heads away, Master Pang's deafening voice came like thunder: "What are you two doing? The most important thing about squatting is perseverance, and you two actually stood up without permission..." As he spoke, Master Pang walked over with a stern face, and carried Jin Ge'er and Chen Ge'er to the sun in the middle of the yard again, "Hold on! If you dare to stand up again, I will tell the Marquis and let him punish you according to his family rules!"

The two men were unable to break free and took up horse stance in the middle of the yard again.

"Damn it!" Jing'er's face flushed red as he looked at Master Pang's slightly limping figure.

"Can't I squat in the shade of the tree?" Brother Chen gritted his teeth.

The two looked at each other and saw unwillingness in each other's eyes.

The shared hatred immediately made the two forget their previous argument.

One of them said, "Sixth Brother, can we just let it go like this?"

"Of course we can't just let it go!" said another, "We have to think of a way!"

"Sixth brother, what can you do?" Seeing that his brother and he had the same idea, Chen Ge'er's tone became cheerful, "You have to be quick, I think the incense is almost burned out!"

Jing Ge'er was stunned, and after a while he growled in a low voice: "It's better when the incense is burned out. Otherwise, we can't move, and no matter how good the method is, it will be useless!"

Brother Chen said "Oh" and said nothing more.

* * * * * *

"The sun is the ancestor of all yang, and the moon is the image of the moon." Jing'er loudly recited what he learned from "Youxue" yesterday.

Mr. Zhao nodded continuously: "Not bad, not bad!" Then he put down the book and took out the big characters he had written long ago, "I will copy these today."

Jinger replied "yes" respectfully, and happily took the rice paper. A sly look flashed in his eyes, and he pulled Mr. Zhao's sleeve affectionately: "Sir, what are you most afraid of?"

Mr. Zhao thought for a moment and said with a smile, "What I fear most is someone who doesn't keep his word!"

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Jinger smiled brightly, "I'm asking what you're most afraid of, sir? For example, tigers! Wolves!"

"Oh!" Mr. Zhao laughed, "I'm most afraid of toads. They feel dirty."

"So the master is afraid of toads!" Jin Ge'er's smile was like the summer sun, so dazzling that it was hard to open your eyes. "Then I'll go back and trace the red!"

Although he didn't know why the student asked this question, Mr. Zhao nodded with satisfaction at Jing'er's well-behaved behavior.

The next day, Master Pang just stood on the steps with his hands behind his back when seven or eight toads jumped out from the bushes nearby, and some of them even jumped to his feet.

Xiumuyuan is surrounded by trees. In June, it is common for a few toads to run out.

Master Pang glanced at them, kicked a few toads aside casually, and looked at Jing'er and Shen'er at the steps with a stern look: "Start squatting now!"

Several children responded in unison and half-knelt down.

Master Pang's gaze couldn't help but fall on Jing'er and Chen'er.

For some reason, he felt that the expressions of the two people just now were a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Master Pang asked sternly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ever since Jing'er's leg pain incident, Master Pang has become more concerned about the conditions of the children.
