At that time, the sound of a young man reading aloud came from the small study of Lu Mansion, and the people passing by were accustomed to it. This Young Master Ye has borrowed this small study from the master since the second day he came to the mansion, and since then, he must have been studying here every day when the hour comes. I really don't know why, why does a young master of a merchant family read so many books, and it is enough to manage a few shops as long as he knows a few words?

"Dad, what time is it, why don't you let me sleep a little longer?" The boy yawned and rubbed his eyes, if he hadn't been led, he would probably have fallen asleep on the ground after a few steps.

"Sleep, sleep, you know sleep." Seeing his son yawning all the way, the middle-aged man hated iron and steel, and couldn't help but give the young man a five-clawed chestnut, "Look at the Huangjin of the people, he is only one year older than you, people get up every day to study hard, and you, every day to the hour of the hour still procrastinate and refuse to get up." ”

"What?" The young man touched the back of his head, thinking that he was talking to himself quietly, "He is a dead father, if he doesn't work hard, he won't have anything to eat, my father is alive and well, what do I do so hard." ”

"You, you......" the man was dumbfounded, "who said this to you." ”

"Everybody knows that." The young man looked disdainful, and the disdain in his eyes was undisguised, "I knew on the first day he came, his mother had a handkerchief with his mother, threw him at our house, and remarried himself." "A husband and a wife keep festivals, and a son born to a woman who remarries but abandons her son is definitely not a good thing.

"Shut up." The man shouted angrily, "Listening to the wind is rain, your ears are so soft?" If you don't know what is going on, you won't be able to tell the truth from the false? ”

Although the boy was tough, he was still very afraid of his father when he was strict, and as soon as the man opened his mouth to scold, the boy lowered his head and listened silently and did not dare to refute a word, as for whether he listened to it or not is another matter. Rolling his eyes helplessly, the young man secretly swore in his heart that as long as he had the opportunity, he would not be called Lu Fubai if he didn't kill the kid named Ye Huangjin.

On the other side, Ye Huangjin in the small study noticed early on that Lu Yun was coming towards him with a young man about the same age as him, and he jumped off the stool to open the door. When he heard the conversation between their father and son, his hand was on the deadbolt and was about to open the door, and he didn't need to pay attention to it, the sound outside the door penetrated into his ears word for word, and his originally bright eyes couldn't help but dim a little. Yes, he is an outsider, at this time, he is even more under the fence, his mother entrusted him to the care of Mrs. Lu, whom he has never seen, he should be grateful to take Ye Mansion first, and now because he got up early to study, it was really his fault that Lu Shibo and his son quarreled.

After listening to the silence outside the door for a while, Ye Huangjin opened the door of the study, and he couldn't let Lu Shibo and them know that he heard their conversation, otherwise it would always be embarrassing to see each other.

"Huangjin, didn't disturb your study, did you?" Facing Ye Huangjin, Lu Yun couldn't help but soften his tone.

That day, when Ye Huangjin came to borrow a small study from Lu Yun, he was writing a notebook, and Lu Yun, who was carefully composing words, was interrupted by his train of thought, and there was a nameless fire in his heart. "Reason, reason to borrow study." He and others actually think similarly, thinking that a merchant's son can just read and write, and there is no need to study too much.

"Now that my father is gone, my mother is a business supported by a woman alone, I want to learn more, and in the future, I will manage the shop and promote talents from all walks of life, and my mother just needs to enjoy it. And to attract talents, you have to be smarter than talents. Speaking of this, Ye Huangjin's eyes were full of longing and hope.

Although Ye Huangjin's idea is a little too good, this filial piety alone is enough for Lu Yun to nod.

"When did Shibo come?" Ye Huangjin pretended to be surprised, "I just studied and was engrossed, but I didn't notice it." ”

"It's okay." Lu Yun waved his hand, "This is my son Lu Fubai." As he spoke, he pushed the son beside him forward,

Lu Fubai rolled his eyes, glanced at Ye Huangjin in a respectful manner, and made a "hum" word in his nose.

"Can I just call you Xiaobai?" Ye Huangjin asked with a smile.

Who allowed you to call me Bok? Who do you think you are? Although Lu Fubai was roaring in his heart, he was smart enough not to roar it directly, and now that his father was on the side, as long as he roared, he dared to conclude that his father would definitely slap him.

Seeing that his son did not reject Ye Huangjin's closeness, Lu Yun was a little relieved. It seems that children are children after all, even if the rumors are a little ugly, but they will be forgotten when they turn their heads.

Lu Fubai's eyes rolled, and he said to Lu Yun with a smile: "Dad, you go and get busy with you, Brother Huangjin and I will go in and read "Salt and Iron Theory" or something, you don't have to worry about me." After speaking, Lu Fubai took the initiative to put his arm on Ye Huangjin's shoulder, looking like a good brother.

"Okay, okay, I'll go get busy with mine." Lu Yun nodded with a smile and really turned to leave.

When Lu Yun's figure was completely invisible, Lu Fubai withdrew his hand, and the smile on his face also retracted. He flicked the non-existent dust on his sleeve and kept his distance from Ye Huangjin like a plague patient.

"Bow?" Ye Huangjin let out a puzzled voice.

"Who allowed you to call me Xiaobai?" Lu Fubai interrupted Ye Huangjin's words, "You are the son of a merchant that no one wants, you have to call me the eldest young master or young master Lu." ”

"Oh, really?" Ye Huangjin still kept a smile, "When Lu Shibo was here, I didn't see you objecting to me calling you that." ”

"My dad was when my dad was there, and now that my dad is away, you have to listen to me." Lu Fubai has a proud face, and he has the biggest posture of the world. After a while, he said with a serious face, "When my father was here just now, I gave him face and hooked up with you and pretended to be a good buddy, don't think that your villain behavior can hide from me." ”

After all, he was still a child who was not very old, and Ye Huangjin's deliberate smile could no longer be maintained after Lu Fubai's words. "Why?"

"I remember my dad only said my name, when did he say my age? If it weren't for your mother who inquired about our family in advance, or you overheard the conversation between me and my father just now. If it's the former species, it means that you are quite scheming, and if it's the latter species, it means that you are a real villain, eavesdropping on other people's conversations behind your back, but when you meet, you look like you don't know anything. ”

Lu Fubai pressed forward step by step, and Ye Huangjin retreated again and again, until his back hit the door frame.

"Brother, what are you doing?" A glutinous voice came, and the two people in the stalemate turned their heads in unison.

At the foot of the steps lay a little girl carved in pink, her round apricot eyes full of doubts. Because of lying on her stomach, the pale yellow skirt dragged on the steps, and it was stained with some stains on the steps.

"Yaya!" Lu Fubai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran down the steps to pick up the little girl. But he is still a child himself, how can he afford to hold a child who is about the same as him.

"I'll do it." Ye Huangjin stepped forward.

With a slap of the outstretched hand, Lu Fubai hugged the little girl like a lion guarding a calf, "You go away, don't touch my sister." ”

Blinking, Lu Ya looked at her brother, then at the strange brother, hesitated, and decisively stretched out her hands to the strange brother for a hug.
