As the saying goes, if you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence.
One day, some of the tortured children met at Prince Wei's Mansion to complain about their mothers' crazy behavior. Among them, Mrs. Qin's son Qin Mingkai was the most resentful.
"My mother is the worst. Not only does she make me wear an animal costume every day, but she also paints me ugly and not powerful at all."
"Yes, my mother too! She doesn't know how to draw! She painted me like a little stick, which doesn't look like me at all!"
"My mother also said that her Xumi painter, Mrs. Cheng Ningguo."
…
All the children looked at Cui Zhiduan, with envy and accusation in their eyes. After all, this was the culprit who made them fall into a miserable life, but he also enjoyed the best treatment as a painter. How could he not attract hatred?
After all, everyone has seen Cui Zhiduan’s tiger pictures.
After receiving the accusing looks from everyone, Cui Zhicheng was a little embarrassed, but he still stood up to defend his mother's reputation very filially: "Painting requires talent. If your mother can't learn it, don't blame my mother. My father's Sumeru."
My mother also taught me painting."
Who doesn't know the fame of Jing Ningbo's paintings? Even if these little kids have no knowledge, they have heard their elders mention it.
Although Xumi painting has been around for many years, there are not many people in the capital who are proficient in this art. Therefore, most of the mothers of the children present use fine brushwork to paint. Although it is equally good, for children, it is not as good as Cui Zhiduan's paintings.
Come with dignity.
Zhou Xuchen rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea: "Brother Zhi Duan, can you ask your mother to help us paint?"
The eyes of the other children suddenly lit up. Yes, why didn't they think of this method? Mrs. Ning Guo is the master of Xumi painting. If she asks her to paint by herself, wouldn't they be able to leave a majestic portrait?
Everyone looked at Cui Zhiduan expectantly, and the clever children even bribed him with Cui Zhiduan's favorite preserved fruit. Seeing this, the others promised: "Zhiduan, just promise us, I will give you candied haws on a stick later!"
Everyone knows that Cui Zhiduan is not allowed to eat too many sweets, so there is no problem in bribing him with this method.
The temptation of sweets made Cui Zhiduan swallow hard, but he still rejected the requests of his friends very principledly: "No, I can't agree. My mother has a little sister in her belly. My father said, we can't."
Make mother tired."
This is what my father said after seeing his mother painting for him every day. He has reluctantly given up many opportunities, and naturally he does not want others to disturb his mother anymore, not even his friends.
Everyone languished.
Although they are not very old, they have seen a lot of pregnant women. Whether it is their mother or their father's concubines, they have been pregnant for many years, and they have always been more fragile than porcelain bowls.
Yes, they have been taught since childhood not to disturb pregnant women.
So their plan is definitely dead.
Zhou Xuchen feels the deepest at the moment. After all, his father's concubine is currently pregnant and causing trouble in the backyard, which makes his mother and concubine feel bad. She rarely smiles recently.
He let out a long sigh and said with a vicissitude in his tone: "I don't like my younger brothers and sisters at all."
This topic quickly resonated with the children present. Qin Mingkai shared his personal experience: "My parents used to like me the most, but now they like my younger brother the most."
"The same goes for my grandmother. Every year, her younger brother gets more New Year's money."
"I hate my younger brother the most. His mother cries every day and complains to my father all day long. Even though I have done nothing, my father just thinks that I bully my younger brother."
…
The person who spoke was a thin little boy named Li Shun'an. His family background was not bad. Of course, a person with a poor family background would not be able to get along with the Fourth Young Master of the Wei Palace. However, he did not expect that his experience would be so miserable.
It can be said to be the worst among everyone present.
The concern of his friends warmed Li Shun's heart, and he expressed his advice to Cui Zhiduan very sincerely: "My younger brothers and sisters are all crybabies. You must cry better than them, so that your grandmother will love you more."
"But last time my brother snatched my toy, I cried and fussed to no avail. My father even scolded me for not being friendly to my brothers."
Everyone's faces became bitter again. It is really difficult to be a favored son.
Cui Zhiduan was fed a lot of portrayals of falling out of favor and tips on winning favor from his friends. He felt worried and said uneasily: "No, no, my grandmother and parents love me the most, so they won't dislike me.
.”
"That's a lie from adults. Don't be fooled by them." Qin Mingkai said with certainty.
"Yes, adults are all liars."
"They all like the concubine's younger brother."
Cui Zhiduan's eyes lit up: "My father doesn't have a concubine!"
Everyone looked over, and Li Shun'an expressed doubts for everyone: "Why doesn't your father have a concubine? Everyone has concubines. My eldest brother hasn't married his sister-in-law yet, and he already has a concubine in his room."
Cui Zhiduan was also a little puzzled: "Why do adults have to have concubines? It's enough for my father to have my mother."
"But, but..."
Li Shun'an argued hard: "I can warm the bed and serve you personally."
Cui Zhiduan blinked: "I can warm daddy's bed. Besides, why do you need a concubine when you have a maid to serve you?"
Everyone was stunned. Judging from their current experience, they really could not explain this problem. Although some boys already vaguely understood some things between men and women, no adults would mention the existence of concubines specifically to children.
So they just heard about it.
All those present were legitimate sons and daughters, and they learned from the maidservant and mother-in-law who was serving them that the concubines were all bad people, and the younger brothers and sisters born to them were also bad things.
Li Shun'an was convinced of this: "My concubine and my concubine's son have robbed my father. They are bad people."
Everyone felt the same way, especially Zhou Xuchen, who almost agreed with both hands.
Cui Zhiduan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, my sister was not born from a concubine, and she won't compete with me for her father."
Qin Mingkai looked at him with vicissitudes of life: "My younger brother was also born to my mother."
Cui Zhiduan: "..."
Everyone thought they had touched Cui Zhiduan's sadness, so they patted his shoulders with great sympathy and comforted him: "Brother Zhiduan, don't worry. If your parents don't like you anymore, you still want us. We will always
are best friends."
Cui Zhiduan was about to cry. He didn't want this result at all. He was so cute, so his parents wouldn't want him.
