The third young master's room only lit an octagonal lamp in the corner of the table, using a candle the thickness of a baby's arm, which was enough to illuminate the furnishings in the house.

The sixteen-year-old boy sat quietly at the table, holding a book in his hand and flipping through the pages one by one. A cup of tea in hand, it looks like it is already cold, there is nothing on the table except for lamps, candles, teacups and books, I think it is usually a clean table, I am afraid that the third young master will lose his temper and go crazy and smash it, all put it away, a half-person high shelf next to the door, a pot of flowers on the shelf, the veils on the bed are raised, and the pillows and bedding on the bed are neatly laid out, without a trace of wrinkles. On the other side of the Eight Treasure Pavilion shelves are scattered with some objects, at first glance they are all cheap and not afraid of falling, because of the preparation of the third young master to get married, some pairs of bottles and pairs of porcelain have been added. On the bookshelf on the other side, there are still more than a dozen books on display, which are the books that the third young master has been reading since he became literate. Strange to say, when the third young master was sick, he would drop everything and smash everything, but he wouldn't touch those books.

After Master Xu entered the house, he saw such a picture. If the third young master was not stupid, he would be the best age at this time, he should have already passed the Xiucai exam, and he should have sent him to Jinwan to study official school. Pity.

He frowned slightly, and looked back at the outside of the house, where several rough maids who were serving the young master were standing under the corridor, except for Mrs. Li, who was serving the young master, was not there. He closed his eyes slightly and then opened: "Zisuke, what are you looking at?" ”

The third young master didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't raise his head.

Master Xu walked into the third young master with a smile on his face and stood at the table.

The twisted lines of the book and the few folded lines scattered on the page, the fly-headed small letters carefully marked something on the side.

It's actually a map.

Master Xu's heart tightened, his face was silent, and he still smiled kindly:

"Well, Zisuke is looking at the map......"

Before the words fell, Third Young Master Xu suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed, and Master Xu took a step back.

"It's black, it's black!" Third Young Master Xu stretched out his hand with anger on his face to maintain the posture of pushing people, and when he turned his head and saw that it was Master Xu, he was stunned for a moment, then pouted, and lowered his head with a look of grievance: "I can't see it." ”

It turned out that the angle at which Master Xu was standing blocked the light of the third young master's reading, and he suddenly got angry before reaching out and pushing Master Xu.

The third young master Xu's real name is Xu Zijie, he was literate at the age of three, entered the hall at the age of six, and passed the children's examination at the age of ten, but since he was eleven years old, he has never appeared in front of everyone, and the servants of the Xu family and others outside only know that once the third young master of the Xu family had a high fever and burned out his brain without timely treatment. And only a few people in the Xu family know that the third young master was poisoned, and although he did not kill anyone, he became stupid. This stupid table xiàn can't take care of himself in the life of the third young master, and he forgets that he has existing skills, such as not being able to write and being illiterate, and the most important one is that he can't read people. Everyone is afraid when they see it, and if someone gets close, they will get sick, and they don't know their parents.

Master Xu invited a lot of doctors to treat the third young master, but almost all the doctors said that they could not do anything, only one doctor said that he was willing to give it a try, and he gave up after half a year of treatment, but fortunately, at this time, the third young master began to know people, although there were only a few of them: Master Xu, Master Xu and the second young master, as well as Mrs. Li, who had been taking care of the third young master.

Now he just recognized that the person was his father, so he was aggrieved and deflated, and because of the repeated chatter in the ears of other people all the time, he had a concept, and knew that it was wrong to push people, so he took the teacup in his hand and handed it to Master Xu to apologize.

Master Xu carefully looked at the eyes and expression of the third young master, and found that there was nothing unusual, and although his behavior was more regular than usual, he still revealed a stiff sense of incongruity, which was the same as usual, so he showed a helpless pampering look and took the teacup, but found that the teacup was already cold to the touch.

No matter what, this is also the third young master of the Xu family, and these subordinates are really becoming more and more unruly.

Master Xu pretended to take a sip of tea, and the third young master grinned, turned around and continued to read the book.

"What is Kosuke looking at?" Master Xu held the teacup and leaned down slightly.

"Paint."

"What painting?"

"That's it." The third young master pointed to a place where rivers and mountains intersected: "Why can't the circles be connected?" He looked down in confusion and stared at the place.

After all, the third young master was also a prodigy in Chuanping County before he was poisoned, and he liked to read the most, although he was illiterate after poisoning, he still liked to read the illustrated pages on each book when he was not sick.

Master Xu didn't speak, walked out with a teacup, and instructed Yulu: "You stay and serve the young master first, let me have some supper for a while, and rest early." ”

Yulu nodded in response.

Master Xu looked at the maids gathered again, and found Mrs. Li with her head bowed in the shadow on the far left.

"You, everyone else is busy." Master Xu pointed at Mrs. Li, and then walked out.

Mrs. Li was apprehensive, and her first reaction was to find someone to sue Mrs. Sù, but she suddenly reacted that this was in the town, not in Chuanping's house. Suddenly became even more frightened, although he was hinted at by his wife, but the master didn't know.

There shouldn't be anything wrong, it's just that I'm a little late, and it's good to say that I have diarrhea, but I'm not there for a while, and the three fools are not sick today, and the master won't do anything to himself. And the three fools only allow themselves to serve closely, and everyone else will get sick, and the three fools can't do without themselves, so the master will never do anything to himself. Mrs. Li comforted herself in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was nothing wrong, and she speculated that she should have to tell her three fools to marry her daughter-in-law. The woman who came out of a small door and a small household didn't follow her wife to pinch and flatten it when the time came. Just thinking about it while following behind Master Xu.

Xu Xiaoquan was standing at the door of the study. When he saw Master Xu coming, he immediately greeted him:

"Sir."

Master Xu waved his hand, and he saw Mrs. Li following behind Master Xu. Mrs. Li also saw Xu Xiaoquan, knowing that it was a celebrity next to the master, and smiled flatteringly.

Xu Xiao withdrew his eyes expressionlessly, and followed Master Xu into the study. Mrs. Li was about to follow in, but Xu Xiaoquan blocked the door, she was stunned, and immediately bent down and smiled: "Oh, just wait outside, just wait outside." He took two steps back and stood at the door of the study.

Xu Xiaoquan continued to look at her, did not close the door and did not speak, Mrs. Li reacted, hehe smiled and retreated to the porch, standing in the courtyard, Xu Xiaoquan made sure that the position could not hear the sound of talking in the study before closing the door.

"Master, what you ordered has been checked."

"Huh?" Master Xu sat on the chair behind the desk, and the teacup along the way was a little icy, and he put the cup on the table and asked.

"There is nothing abnormal, Mr. Mu stayed in the young master's room for less than half an hour, and only said about Miss Song. The third young master had been sleeping, and Mr. Mu was woken up by the maid after he had been gone for half an hour. Mrs. Li had been chatting and eating snacks in the afternoon, and she went to catch up on sleep after Mr. Mu left. Shen got up at three o'clock. ”

"Very well, don't let your guard down, let me know as soon as something is unusual." Master Xu paused, and glanced out of the door: "Find someone tomorrow." ”

He said, "Let Mrs. Li come in." ”
