Seeing Xiahou Yi go out, the chief steward leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming in, and when he looked up, he saw his son running in front of him very excitedly and shouting: "Dad! Father! Do you know? Just now, General Xiahou asked me about my homework, saying that my knowledge can be compared to those students of Guozijian! ”

The thin and fair-skinned young man stood in front of the chief steward, his eyes shone with excitement, and when the chief steward heard his words, he grabbed his son's shoulders and asked in a trembling voice, "...... Did he really say that? ”

"Well, he said that if he hadn't been there for some things back then, he would have entered the country to study! That's why I asked for my homework, if only I could go to Guozijian to study! ”

The chief steward's mouth moved, and he took back the following words, he had an idea in his heart, but he was not sure for a while, for fear of disappointing his son! His son is a scholar and has a good character, but it is his father who drags him down, a businessman is a businessman after all, and in a place like Guozijian, where can people like them enter! I don't know what General Xiahou means.

"Good boy! You just need to study hard, and your father will inquire about you, and one day he will send you to Guozijian to study! The chief steward finally said a few ambiguous words to comfort his son.

Unexpectedly, the young man smiled and said, "Daddy doesn't have to be sad!" Being able to take care of students in our family is a blessing that I have cultivated in my previous life, and I am now very satisfied with knowing that my knowledge can be compared to those students of Guozijian, as for going to study in Guozijian,"

The young man lowered his head, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "It's not the same where to study, as long as you are good at learning, there are articles all over the world!" ”

Seeing that his son was so sensible and obedient, the chief steward gritted his teeth in his heart, thinking that it would be time to let go of this old face and beg General Xiahou! The child has a future, and he, as a father, has to work hard, right?

"Why did your lord ask that boy to send us out?"

"I'm going to recommend him to study in Guozijian."

"But their family is a businessman." Ding Sheng was taken aback.

Although the status of merchants has improved under the rule of Emperor Kangtai, in the final analysis, it is still a harsh lowly industry for many people. Not to mention entering the country, it takes a lot of money to go to the school to study, and often many children of merchant families can read a little bit for various reasons! Only those big businessmen will invite special Confucians to teach their children, but often those Confucians collect several times more expensive than others.

Xiahou Yi said leisurely: "There are special cases for businessmen. I'm a man who doesn't like to owe favors. ”

There were some things he didn't tell Dingsheng, and it wasn't the place to talk. The fact that the chief steward can still do the position of steward in such a difficult situation is a kind of ability in itself, this kind of capable and bottom-line person Xiahou Yi feels that it is worth befriending, not to mention Sihai Qianzhuang, a money village with a semicolon in the entire Daqi, maybe one day he will have an intersection with the chief steward again?

"After going back in a moment. I called my former brothers to come to Sihai Qian Zhuang to move things with great fanfare, and I must show my gratitude to the chief steward in front of those people. ”

"My lord, is this going to support the chief steward?" Ding Sheng was silent, he knew who Xiahou Yi was early on, that was a person who would repay him, but his colleagues' kindness could also be reciprocated, and he didn't need to be so curious about the help of the big steward of Sihai Qianzhuang.

Xiahou Yi got back into the carriage and said to Ding Sheng: "You quietly go to the princess's mansion and copy down the method of making black chicken soup in the kitchen and give it to Qian Liulang, so that he can quietly return to Her Royal Highness the princess, just say,"

Xiahou Yi knocked on the table on the carriage.

"Let's just say, I've been a little busy these days, so I didn't care about going over to see Her Royal Highness the princess. Let His Highness recuperate with peace of mind. ”

If he could, he would like to stay with the little princess all the time! It's just that now he has to be more restrained, the aunt in charge is very sharp-eyed, since he can inquire about such a small matter as guò chicken soup, Xiahou Yi can't guarantee that the prince and Emperor Kangtai will not notice.

He also remembered when Qian Liulang finished saying those words in the morning, generally Her Royal Highness the princess has a secret guard around her, especially Lan Qiduo is very important in Emperor Kangtai's mind, the only thing Xiahou Yi is more fortunate about is that he went for two nights, and the secret guard didn't find him, and then frowned again. Even he couldn't find out how he was guarding Yuanjia? His kung fu is actually not top-notch, what if he encounters more powerful opponents in the future? Xiahou Yi once again struggled with the matter of Lan Qiduo's guards.

"My lord, there is a Lord Xiao outside the door who asks to see you." Said the person driving the car.

"Lord Xiao?"

Ding Sheng lifted the curtain and glanced out of the carriage, and whispered, "It's Xiao Tanhua." ”

Ding Sheng looked at Xiahou Yi's expression a little subtle, this Xiao Tanhua is a saint-like sage in the eyes of many boudoir girls in Beijing. It is said that he fell in love at first sight with the eldest princess of Yuanjia, who had no beauty and status, and now, like General Xiahou, the eldest does not marry a wife, and he is the most popular son-in-law candidate in Beijing.

It's just that General Xiahou is because of the rumors of Nake's father and mother, even if he is in a high position, few people dare to touch the tiger's beard, and Xiao Mubai is unwilling to do so. But compared with General Xiahou, who has been fighting on the battlefield all the year round and has his head tied to the waistband of his trousers, Xiao Tanhua, who is handsome and of good quality, is obviously much more popular than Xiahou Yi.

Now Xiao Tanhua actually took the initiative to stop General Xiahou's carriage, which has to be curious.

Xiahou Yi's expression was a little subtle, facing this man who was the only one he used force not because of official affairs but because of private affairs, his mood was still very complicated, on the one hand, this man was his rival in love, he was hostile to this man, but this man had a good character, and there was a side of Xiahou Yi's appreciation in his character, if he could, Xiahou Yi really hoped that the two would better not meet.

However, since someone else had already come to the door, Xiahou Yi would not shirk it, he opened the door curtain very generously, and smiled at Xiao Mubai: "It turned out to be Xiao Tanhua!" Long time no see, don't come unharmed? ”

Obviously, Xiao Mubai is the one who proposes to meet now, but Xiahou Yi has a preconceived idea, as if he is the host, and asked Ding Sheng to find a teahouse and go down to Xiao Mubai and say: "It's better to meet by chance, since you met Xiao Tanhua today, let's have a good chat." ”

Xiao Mubai's feelings for Xiahou Yi are also very complicated, on the one hand, as a scholar, he admires Xiahou Yi's personality in his previous life, but Xiahou Yi is now proud, he can't help but think of Lan Qiduo, who was originally his wife. (To be continued.) )
