But Brother Chen touched his head.

What's going on?

Even if you are under house arrest, you just need to stay in this room. There is no need to be afraid to even move!

Just as he was wondering, he saw Jing'er quickly raised his head, blinked at him, and then quickly lowered his head, as if asking him to do as he was told.

Brother Chen had no choice but to say "Oh" and followed Ajin to the hall.

Ah Jin brought him a red lacquered and gold-painted plum blossom nine-petal box to offer him tea.

He knelt on the armchair and picked up some candies with his hands wrapped in white cloth. He looked a little funny, but also very cute.

The maids all looked at him with smiles. Xu Sizhun and Xu Sijie came.

"Fourth brother! Fifth brother!" Brother Chen jumped off the chair.

"Your hand?" Xu Sizhun was a little surprised.

Brother Chen is very annoying.

Why is everyone asking about his hand?

"It's okay," he said unhappily, "my mother beat me up!" He briefly recounted what had happened.

Xu Sizhun laughed and asked him with concern: "Have you seen the doctor? What did the doctor say?"

"I saw it." Chen Ge'er said nonchalantly, "It's just applying medicine and taking medicine!" Then he asked him, "Doesn't Fourth Brother have to go to school? Why are you here at this time?"

"Let's come and see our sixth brother!" Xu Sizun said implicitly.

Xu Sijie smiled silently at Chen Ge'er as a greeting.

Chen Ge'er tilted his head and looked at Xu Sijie: "Fifth brother, are you afraid of thunder?"

Xu Sijie was surprised: "I'm not afraid of thunder!"

"Then why can't you sleep well?"

It thundered and rained last night.

"I'm not unable to sleep!" Xu Sijie's expression changed slightly, his smile became a little stiff, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Brother Chen didn't notice it.

"I guessed it right!" He pointed at Xu Sijie's eyes proudly, "It's dark here. Mother Shi said that if you don't sleep well, it will be dark here."

"Oh!" Xu Sijie's expression relaxed, and his smile returned to its original gentleness. "I've been staying up late reading these days!"

"Mr. Zhao said that you have made a lot of progress in your studies." Xu Sizhun said, "It is important to work hard, but you can't ruin your body. If your body is broken, your energy won't be able to keep up, and your studies will fall behind..."

As they were talking, the curtain was lifted and Eleventh Lady came out.

"I hear your voices!" she said with a smile, "Why are you here? Jing'er is tracing in red inside!"

I mean, there's something to say here!

Both of them had followed Shiyi Niang before and knew that she was strict about homework. Homework was required after school. If there was something, it could be postponed, but it was not allowed to be abandoned halfway. Sometimes, because homework was not completed, dinner would even be postponed.

Xu Sizhun and Xu Sijie both thought this was natural and sat down with Eleventh Lady.

But Brother Chen stuck out his tongue.

Xu Sizhun asked Jing'er, "I heard that he was taught a lesson last night? How is he now?"

Last night, Madam Tai, Xu Lingyi and Shiyi Niang discussed for a long time why Jing'er was punished and decided to attribute it to Jing'er's unwillingness to apologize to Master Pang, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble and rumors.

"It's okay!" Eleventh Lady smiled, "I'm just not used to being confined in the room." She glanced at the silent Xu Sijie and saw that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Everyone was talking here, but he was sitting there, but his eyes were unfocused, and he looked absent-minded and melancholy.

"Do you still go to the bookstore to read often these days?" Eleventh Lady asked him.

Last time, Xu Sijie looked a little strange. Shiyi Niang called Xier to ask about it. She learned that when he and Xu Siqin and others saw Xu Siyu off in the south of the city, they met some of Xu Siyu's classmates. After dinner, they went to the bookstore together. He liked it very much and sometimes invited Xu Sizhun to go there. When Xu Lingyi found out, he was quite disapproving: "Is it richer than the collection at home?"

Everyone has different hobbies.

Some people like to hang out in libraries because they feel that libraries are fun.

"The children are grown up and have their own ideas. We should stop interfering in their affairs. Otherwise, why did you open the door to them?"

Xu Lingyi said nothing more. This matter was just accepted.

Hearing his mother mention this, Xu Sijie blushed: "Fourth brother often accompanies father to Weibei Marquis Mansion these days, and has no time to go out with me. Sometimes I go there alone to hang out."

"Have you encountered any interesting things or interesting people?" Eleventh Lady chatted with him.

These days, she had not taken care of Xu Sijie. Now that the incident with Jing'er happened again, she was shocked to realize her shortcomings in educating her son - although she was strict in the past, she left the implementation matters to the maids and daughters-in-law. No matter how respectful and submissive these maids and daughters-in-law were to her, there was a difference between master and servant after all. They turned a blind eye to some things. When Jing'er saw this, he became bolder and took her words less and less to heart, let alone listened to them completely. Children are like crops. After this season, they should be mature and harvested. There will be no next season. Other things can be put aside, but the current education problem of Jing'er cannot be put aside. She plans to focus her energy on Jing'er in the future.

"No!" Xu Sijie looked a little unnatural, "I was just strolling around there."

Everyone has their own secrets. If he doesn't want to tell them, Eleventh Lady will naturally respect his wishes. She smiled and changed the subject: "Are there any new books in the bookstore these days?"

"Yes!" Seeing that Eleventh Lady did not ask further questions, Xu Sijie answered in detail with a somewhat attentive attitude, "There is a new scholar in the Hanlin Academy, his surname is Guan, he likes to play with stones in his spare time, and wrote a book about this, called "Treasures in the Sleeve". There is also a scholar named Qing, who has been traveling around the world for forty years and died suddenly of illness last year. He has a son who was a Jinshi in the fifty-fifth year of Jianwu, and is now the prefect of Nanchang Prefecture. He published a book with the poems left by his father and entrusted some bookstores to sell. I flipped through it at the time, it was fresh and beautiful, refreshing, so I bought a copy. If you are interested, I will send it to you later..."

As he was speaking, Xiang came over.

"I was cleaning out boxes and crates at home a few days ago and found a seismometer that I played with when I was a kid." She smiled and held out a small red lacquer and gold-painted box. "I heard that Uncle Six was here these days, so I brought it here. I wonder if Uncle Six likes it?"

You heard that Jing'er was punished to come over to say hello, but you couldn't say it directly, so you used this euphemistic way, right?

"Cage-cleaning box?" Eleventh Lady smiled and let Amber take the box. "Are you making autumn clothes for Yu'er?"

"Yes!" Xiang replied respectfully, "Bring it with Miss Jiang's ninth birthday gift in August. It's perfect for her!"

The ninth daughter of the Jiang family has her birthday on August 17th, and Eleventh Lady sends birthday presents to her every year.

Just as he finished speaking, the curtain of the inner room was lifted a little, and Jing'er was hiding there, peeking out.

Eleventh Lady called out "Jin'er".

Before he finished speaking, Jing'er said hurriedly, "Mom, I've finished drawing!"

Much faster than usual!

Eleventh Lady pondered secretly, hummed, and said softly: "Then you should take a rest!"

When Jin Geer heard this, he immediately became happy. He skipped out of the inner room, but out of the corner of his eye he saw his mother sitting there with a graceful manner. He thought that his mother liked people who followed rules the most, so he immediately straightened his face, put away his smile, and walked over with an upright posture. The obedient appearance formed a sharp contrast with his usual cheerful and cheerful appearance.

Xu Sijie never thought that Shiyi Niang was wrong. If Shiyi Niang wanted to teach Jin Ge'er a lesson, then it was naturally Jin Ge'er who was wrong. He really couldn't say something against his will, such as "Just comfort your mother".

Xiang knew her position and never spoke unless she was asked.

Xu Sizhun even laughed and said, "Mother, my sixth brother is still young. If there is anything wrong, please don't bother with him."

He is very kind to his younger brothers.

Eleventh Lady smiled and nodded, and asked Amber to hand the box to Jing'er: "This is given by your second sister-in-law, you can play with it!"

This time, without any explanation, he thanked Xiang respectfully.

It is true that jade cannot be made into anything without being polished. After giving him a lesson, he became much more obedient.

Eleventh Lady nodded secretly in her heart. Seeing Chen Ge'er standing on tiptoe and staring at the box in Jin Ge'er's hand with shining eyes, she thought of Jin Ge'er's restraint in front of her and said with a smile: "Jin Ge'er, take Chen Ge'er to play in the house!"

Jin Ge'er immediately responded loudly, "Yes", with a hint of happiness in his voice, and took Chen Ge'er's hand and went to the inner room.

Everyone had expressed their feelings, and since Jin Ge'er had gone back to the inner room, Xu Sizun and the others chatted with Shiyi Niang for a while before leaving.

Jing'er spent the whole afternoon with Chen'er in the house playing with the seismometer.

When it was almost time for dinner, Xu Lingyi came back and asked, "How is Brother Jin?"

"Very good!" Eleventh Lady smiled, "She quickly traced four large pieces of paper..." and talked about Jing'er's situation.

Xu Lingyi took a long breath.

Eleventh Lady discussed household matters with him: "...from now on, only handle household chores before noon. This way, I can also spend the afternoon with Brother Jin."

"You can make the decision on these matters yourself." Xu Lingyi smiled, "Just make sure you arrange it well when the time comes, otherwise, it will be a mess."

Eleventh Lady responded, and that afternoon she carefully sorted out the things on her hands, shortening the day's tasks into a few hours. She was afraid that the mothers in charge would complain, so she discussed it with Amber and told the mothers in charge of this decision the next day.

Those mothers in charge also do the accounting.

Since Eleventh Lady is resting in the afternoon, they don’t need to come to her for instructions... and can arrange their own time...

"Of course, Sixth Young Master's homework is the most important!"

"Madam has a beautiful handwriting. With Madam's guidance, Young Master will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

To the surprise of Shiyi Niang and Amber, they all agreed. They also promised to report everything to Shiyi Niang before noon. Shiyi Niang spent seven or eight days to sort out this matter. After that, she accompanied Jing'er to practice calligraphy while doing needlework every afternoon, and occasionally gave him some pointers on his writing style. Jing'er also became much more honest. He practiced calligraphy in a disciplined manner and made obvious progress, which made Mr. Zhao praise him endlessly. In addition, Mr. Zhao's praise was meaningful, so Jing'er was convinced and began to like writing.
