Yin Hui almost didn’t hold back and quickly picked up the tea bowl to cover up her smile.
Wei Luo also had a smile in his eyes, quickly put it away, and asked his daughter, “Why is it inkstones, why don’t you sell candied haws and rouge?”
Xiao Ning replied, “An inkstone is expensive, and it can be sold for more than a hundred taels.”
His daughter was so smart at such a young age, Wei Luo finally laughed, waved, and hugged her in his arms, saying, “Everything has its own merits and demerits. If the inkstone you carved is good, it will sell for more money. If you are unskilled and even ruin the good material of the inkstone, then you will only lose money.”
Xiao Ning stopped listening to her father and ran to her mother’s side.
Wei Luo also called out the two sons who were kneeling on the ground, stood in the night, and said earnestly, “A fruit on the hawthorn tree is worthless, and the Duan inkstone buried in the mountain pit is worthless in itself.”
“The two of you, including me, can be born in the royal family, are just like three pieces of Duan inkstones, which have been above the flowers, trees, and plants since birth, beyond the reach of ordinary people, but at the same time, it is Duan inkstone, and the price varies depending on the carver. The cheap ones can be bought for a few taels, and the expensive ones can reach thousands of taels.”
“You are your own sculptors. If you read books well and practice martial arts, you will do well in the future. There are even more people who serve the people of the Imperial Court. If you are not talented and learn nothing, no matter how much money your father and mother have, they can support you for a while, but not for a lifetime. Do you understand?” Xiao Heng and Xiao Xun nodded vigorously in understanding.
Wei Luo patted the heads of his sons one by one, saying, “Don’t waste your money recklessly. If you really want something, tell me when it’s your birthday, and I will buy it for you as a gift.”
The children all went to bed, and Yin Hui also followed Wei Luo into the inner room.
When Wei Luo was teaching the children, Yin Hui seriously reflected on her attitude towards money.
In fact, it was inappropriate for her to be so extravagant.
How many people in the world were rich?
She was born in the Yin family, and she was favored by her grandfather who responded to her every request. That was her blessing, but most of the common people and even the nobles did not enjoy the treatment she got.
Yin Hui was just willing to spend money; there was nothing wrong with her conduct, but she couldn’t guarantee that the three children would not turn extravagant or even playboys.
She hoped that the children didn’t have to worry about money, but if they could develop Wei Luo’s self-discipline, then she would be so gratified and proud.
Therefore, Yin Hui was very thankful that Wei Luo taught the children that lesson in time.
Xiao Ning was still young, so she didn’t understand the meaning of her father’s words. But she could teach her daughter slowly in the future.
After combing her hair, Yin Hui walked to the bedside.
Wei Luo, who was reading a book, raised his eyes to glance at her and continued to turn the pages.
Yin Hui didn’t say anything, sat next to him, raised his arm holding the book, put the book aside from Wei Luo, hugged him in the middle, and he played with her soft long hair silently.
“You were right today. I will supervise the children in the future to prevent them from squandering their money.”
Sensing his attitude, Yin Hui raised her head and looked into his eyes.
Wei Luo’s hand fell to the tip of his wife’s eyebrows and slowly outlined it with his fingertips.
What he said was naturally right, but the children could quickly realize their mistake thanks to her teaching.
Maybe she didn’t try to teach it. The children themselves follow the example of their parents.
The Second Brother’s family was the most typical example. Ba Lang on the Fourth Brother’s side also was the same.
There were many rich children, and Mrs. Yin was born in a wealthy family. Apart from being too exquisite in food and clothing, her conduct could be described as upright. Yin Wen was her cousin, but she was willing to support Liao Qiuniang. Liao Shisan was just a guard in the Yin family’s caravan. She admired his talent and warmly recommended the person to him.
“I can only reason. For so many years, you have been in charge of the children’s daily life.” Wei Luo held her hand, “Are you tired?”
He asked the last three words very softly, and seemed very gentle.
Yin Hui’s eyes suddenly got wet.
She thought that Wei Luo would be annoyed by Xiao Ning who told him to take money from her mother or go to her great-grandfather, but instead he asked her if she was tired.
“Why are you crying?” Wei Luo smiled and sat up with her in his arms, completely wrapping her in his arms.
Yin Hui wiped her tears with the lapel of his shirt, saying, “I’m not used to it, I’m not used to your soft-spoken voice.”
After being reborn, she made up her mind that she would never be tempted again and only treated Wei Luo as an ice cube. But the ice cube became more like a living person, making it difficult for her to ignore it.
Wei Luo recalled, he just asked her if she was tired, was it called soft talk?
“Then how are you used to me being?” Wei Luo asked casually.
She unexpectedly provided a series of responses, saying, “I’m used to you coming to the backyard to eat and sleep. You don’t say a word, let alone smile. I’m used to your cold look, and you don’t say anything even at night. I’m used to you being alone, calling Xiao Heng to the study room to explain something, as if I didn’t need to listen. I’m used to your work getting more busy, and you spending less time with me.”
She was used to it and didn’t really care anymore, at least she was his only wife.
But just after she got used to it, he suddenly brought back a cousin who was his childhood sweetheart.
Yin Hui bit his shoulder.
Her crying voice became more severe in the end.
Some of the accusations Wei Luo admitted, for example, he was indeed cold-hearted, but when did he call Xiao Heng to the study room alone?
While he was confused, she took a bite.
Wei Luo inhaled in pain, and when she had bitten enough and let go, Wei Luo looked at her again. With teary eyes and wet eyelashes twitching slightly, there was a sense of grievance.
Wei Luo didn’t want to confront anything anymore and took her in his arms, “I understand, I will try to accompany you as much as possible in the future.”
The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and he decided to take one day away, without the children, just to be with her.
