"Father, I will study hard and strive to become a great general in the future." Ma Zhi clenched his fists and made up his mind to talk to Ma County Chancellor. In order to become a great general, he went all out.
Ma Xiancheng patted Ma Zhi on the head comfortingly, praised him a few words, and made Ma Zhi grin.
With Dad's support, he believed he could do it.
After Ma Xiancheng took care of the eldest son, he looked at the second and fourth sons and asked them what they wanted to do
The second son, Ma Shu, swallowed, looked carefully at Ma Xiancheng and said in a low voice that he wanted to make money, a lot of money.
He doesn't like to study, and he doesn't like to be a general. He just wants to make money and live the life of a rich man in the future.
Thinking of the life of a lot of maids, who don't have to do anything, and someone will deliver the car to his mouth while lying down, Ma Shu's heart is agitated.
He just wanted to live like this.
make money
Ma Xiancheng frowned and looked at his second son, and asked him if he wanted to do business
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the most despised. Thinking of this, his face became ugly.
"No, it's not good to do anything, but to go into business. Isn't this stepping on the face of our Ma family?"
As soon as Ma Xiancheng's objection came out, Ma Shu's face turned pale instantly. He lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, because he knew that his father would not agree.
He doesn't steal or rob, so why don't you agree with him to do business
Those four in the county are not in business yet? What kind of life do you see? Absolutely rich.
Father is too concerned about face, afraid that he will lose face of the Ma family.
Hu Juanjuan glared at Ma Xiancheng, then turned her eyes to her pale son, and said in a low voice, "Whoever says that you want to make money is a businessman. Look at those rich and noble families, which ones don't have any property, and manage their own?" Industry, not business." Her husband's head is really...
She shook her head helplessly, and then explained the difference between industry and business.
When Ma Shu heard this, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Hu Juanjuan excitedly, and asked if she agreed with him to make money
Hu Juanjuan didn't think Ma Xiancheng objected, she nodded her head and said, "Agree, why don't you agree?" Seeing her son's cheerful and immature face, she added another sentence, "It's just a book, if you don't know how to read, how can you read?" Settle accounts? You don’t know if someone lied to you, maybe you’re foolish enough to count money for them!” She felt that these provocative methods were good, and could motivate these children to study and practice calligraphy.
Ma Shu looked at Hu Juanjuan in a daze, and then at Ma Xiancheng. So, he has to study hard
He... He was still gloating over his elder brother's misfortune in his heart just now, but he didn't expect that the words would provoke him.
"Then I've learned how to read and write seriously, so you agree to let me manage the family's property?"
What industry does the family have? Just how many acres of land
Hu Juanjuan glanced at her second son speechlessly, and said that as long as he read and read seriously, he can do what he likes to do.
Upon hearing this, Ma Shu cheered, and said seriously that he would not skip class anymore and would study hard.
The eldest son and the second son are done. Hu Juanjuan glanced at Ma Xiancheng proudly, then looked at the fourth son Ma Li in a blink of an eye, "Li'er, your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother have their own goals, what about you? What do you think?" do what."
Ma Li was only eight years old, and it was when he loved to eat. He said loudly without hesitation that he wanted to be a chef, and he could eat a lot of delicious things.
The dim sum brought back by mother today was delicious, he had never eaten such delicious dim sum, and wanted to eat it again, but unfortunately mother did not let him eat it, so he ate only a little.
Marie licked his mouth, reminiscing about the taste of the snacks he ate today.
chef
Youngest son wants to be a chef
So how should they persuade him to study more
Hu Juanjuan and Ma Xiancheng looked at each other, both of them felt a little helpless in their eyes, the four sons, the four personalities, the paths they chose were completely different.
"Father and mother, do I not need to study if I'm a chef?" Ma Liyuan rolled his eyes and looked at Hu Juanjuan and Ma Xiancheng with a smile.
It would be great if he didn't have to study. He doesn't like to study either, he just likes to eat.
When he has money, he must eat a lot of delicious things.
Hu Juanjuan and Ma Xiancheng's faces sank at the same time, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they looked at their youngest son affectionately.
Ma Li was trembling in his heart when they saw him, and smiled at them pretending to be stupid, hoping that they would let him go.
"Is that all your ambition? You just want to be a chef?" Ma Xiancheng asked Ma Li sternly. The ambitions of the other three sons were justified, but he really couldn't agree with the youngest son's ambition. .
What can a big man do as a cook in the back kitchen
A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, understand
Marie shrank his head. He thought it would be great to be a chef. He could eat so many delicious foods every day, wouldn't he
"Li'er, why do you want to be a chef?"
"Eat..." Ma Li quickly replied to Ma Juanjuan, and he looked at her with bright eyes, "If I become a chef, I can eat a lot of delicious food every day."
Hu Juanjuan: "..."
Ma Xiancheng: "..."
The three brothers: "..." They felt that this younger brother was hopeless, so they ran to become chefs just to be able to eat delicious food.
Doesn't he know that as long as he has money, he can eat whatever he wants
Ma Shu couldn't see it anymore, and poked Ma Li's head with his hand, "You idiot, what are you thinking? If you are rich, you can't eat what you want? At that time, do you still need to do it yourself? Move your mouth Someone will prepare it and bring it to you." How could he have such a stupid brother? It's really embarrassing for him. Fortunately, others don't know. If others know, they will laugh their big teeth off.
Ma Li read Ma Shu and said that he blinked his eyes and scratched his head again, "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? Then I...do I have to earn money like the second brother?"
"Okay, you're still young, think about it when you grow up a bit." Hu Juanjuan sighed silently, it was because they acted too hastily, the youngest son is still so young, and his temper has not yet settled down, so they shouldn't ask him Such a profound question.
"Alright then!" Ma Lixiang couldn't figure out why, and nodded obediently.
Ma Da glanced at Hu Juanjuan, and told her to find a chance to test the words of the magistrate's wife and see if they could learn from Mr. Luo
Hu Juanjuan nodded, and said that she would ask the county magistrate's wife some time, but don't have too much hope about this matter. Mr. Luo is not an ordinary person, and he will not teach people casually.
Mr. Luo, who is not even willing to teach the crown prince, is he really willing to teach his own son? She dare not think.
Mr. Luo, who didn't know about it at all, gave Li Qingling a thumbs up, nodding his head and saying it was delicious.
It's been a long time since I ate the food made by Li Qingling, and this time I finally ate it again, which made him almost cry with excitement.
If it wasn't for the fear of tiring Li Qingling, he really hoped that Li Qingling could cook every day.
After eating the food made by Li Qingling, eating other people's food is simply incomparable.
His mouth was spoiled by Li Qingling, and he really looked down on what other people did.
"Little Ling, when are you going to cook next time? Remember to tell me in advance, I'll ask someone to buy two bottles of good wine and drink back."
Such a delicious meal, how can I do without some wine
He went out today, but he didn't know that Li Qingling was cooking the food himself, otherwise, he would have bought wine long ago.
"..."
Haven't finished eating this time, thinking about the next time
Li Qingling glanced at Mr. Luo with a smile, and said lightly, "Master, you can't drink."
"...I'll just drink a little, a little." Mr. Luo gestured with his fingers, hoping that Li Qingling would agree to let him drink a little wine to satisfy his hunger.
Under Li Qingling's supervision, he didn't know how long he hadn't had a drink
Every time he sees other people drinking, he can only watch with envy and hatred, and he wonders if old man Xue is deliberately punishing him and not letting him drink.
"When I write a letter and go back, I will ask Grandpa to see if you can drink it?"
"..." After writing a letter and going back to ask old man Xue, I don't know when he will be able to drink? "I know my body. It's okay to drink a little wine. Maybe it's good for my body!"
Li Qingling put down his chopsticks, clasped his hands, looked at Mr. Luo with a serious face, and said in a calm voice: "Master, do you still want to see Xiao Yan and the others get married? Do you still want to hug your great-grandchildren?" A few questions were asked, which left Mr. Luo bewildered.
He swallowed, and raised the white flag, "Okay, okay, I won't drink, I won't drink anymore." In order to be able to see, several children get married and have children, and in order to hold his great-grandchildren, he, a glutton, has to do everything. I can only endure it.
Think about it, he sacrificed a lot.
Seeing that Mr. Luo compromised, Li Qingling raised the corners of his mouth, put a piece of Mr. Luo's favorite braised pork into his bowl, and coaxed him like a child, "To reward you, Master, I decided to cook tomorrow. Just ask what you want to eat." Old child, old child, if you don't coax, a certain old child will be sulking.
She was able to coax those old men very well.
As soon as he heard Li Qingling explain that he would cook in person tomorrow, Mr. Luo immediately became happy. He had already forgotten whether to drink or not. slipped out of the mouth.
Li Qingling nodded and said yes, I will make it for you tomorrow.
"Okay, okay, the master is waiting." You can eat so many delicious food, and you don't need to drink alcohol.
The little ones were also very happy, they took advantage of the master, and they can eat delicious food again tomorrow.
After this meal, everyone's stomachs are full. If they eat like this every day, they will grow into fat people in a short time.
Li Qingling saw them lying on the chairs and did not move, she drove them away with a smile, and asked them to go for a walk to digest food.
