At the end of July, the weather was a little cold in the morning, but it was very comfortable, Zhou Xiaofu got up early in the morning, and she was walking quickly in loose cotton clothes and pants.

Early in the morning, Zhou Xiaoyang saw that his sister was walking quickly in strange clothes, not like running, walking very steadily and briskly, and Zhou Xiaoyang, who thought it was interesting, was also interested and walked along.

But after following half a circle, I felt that my legs were a little sore, out of the man's self-esteem, I endured the sore legs and insisted on walking quickly, and after walking for half a circle, I gradually couldn't keep up, but I didn't want to give up, and continued to walk fast, walking fast was more tiring than running, and after walking a circle, I saw that Zhou Xiaofu did not stop, and Zhou Xiaoyang continued to insist on walking, and his forehead was sweating.

Finally, Zhou Xiaofu stopped, but did not talk to him, but stood up, moved her legs and feet, and then her wrists, and moved for a quarter of an hour before turning her head to look at Zhou Xiaoyang and laughing.

"Brother, how do you think you compare to the average boy of the same age?" Zhou Xiaofu raised her head and asked with a smile.

Zhou Xiaoyang thought about it and didn't know what his sister meant by asking, but Ren Ran replied: "Naturally, it's better, I'm still practicing martial arts, although it's a simple martial art, but my body is very good, and I rarely get caught in the cold." Speaking of these, Zhou Xiaoyang is still very confident, his body is taller and stronger than boys of the same age, and he is also stronger, all of which are attributed to the rented family.

Leasing is a family of military generals, when he just turned six years old, he sent a martial arts master to ask him to practice simple martial arts, not to be a military general in the future, but to strengthen his body, he feels that a man must have talent and learning, but also have a certain ability to protect himself, otherwise how to protect his wife, children and relatives in the future.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "My brother's body is much better than that of boys of the same age, but how did you feel about walking fast with me just now?" ”

Zhou Xiaoyang became solemn at this time, indeed, his sister walked more laps than himself just now, but she didn't even sweat, and she didn't tremble when she spoke, it seemed that she still had some strength left.

Zhou Xiaoyang immediately said: "Yes, sister, how can you walk for so long without getting tired?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "Brother, in fact, reading is an individual job, getting up early and going to bed late every day, having a good body is fundamental, and then I heard Lan's mother say that there are always one or two people who take the imperial examination every year and can't stick to the end and be carried out, so, brother, do you want to practice my breathing method?" ”

When Zhou Xiaoyang heard this, he nodded happily and said, "Of course my sister is very happy if she is willing to teach me." ”

So the two siblings went back to the main house to prepare breakfast.

The breakfast in Zhuangzi is almost the same, and Zhou Xiaofu is not a very particular person, as long as it is delicious and clean.

After breakfast, Zhou Xiaofu followed Zhou Xiaoyang to the original study of the main house, although it was said to be a study, but there were not a few books, pen, ink and paper were still available, Zhou Xiaofu didn't know much about the Kaiyuan Dynasty because she didn't wear it for a long time, so she brought a book borrowed from her cheap father to look at, and after reading it, he took it to copy, and it was used as a practice word.

After Zhou Xiaoyang came in, Zhou Xiaofu sat on the other side of the table and began to dictate the breathing method while Zhou Xiaoyang wrote on the side.

There are a total of eight chapters of breathing method, the first four chapters are to strengthen the body, which can open up the major meridians of the body, so that the meridians are usual, which is of considerable help to the cultivation of physical arts in the future.

Zhou Xiaofu did not give all of them, but only gave four chapters, and asked Zhou Xiaoyang to practice seriously, and then practice the rest when he has mastered everything.

As soon as the two finished writing, they heard Cuihua report that Wang Yousi had something to do.

Zhou Xiaoyang didn't know the relationship between Wang Yousi and Zhou Xiaofu, and was slightly unhappy, his sister was not sent to Zhuangzi because she made a mistake, but her grandmother asked her to come over to burn paper for her deceased mother.

Wang Yousi came in and saw that Zhou Xiaoyang was also there, so he stepped forward to salute both of them, Zhou Xiaoyang just snorted, and Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "Wang Zhuangtou is too polite, let's say, my brother is his own person." ”

Wang Yousi reported at this time: "The first thing is that the fourth lady explained that she was looking for Zhuangzi to sell, and she already has eyebrows, and now there are two to sell." One is in Yiyang County, south of Tongzhou Prefecture, where there is a Zhuangzi covering an area of 500 acres, but it is indeed some mountainous area. ”

Wang Yousi glanced at Zhou Xiaofu and saw that she didn't speak, so he continued: "There is another one in Chunyang County, north of Kyoto, which covers a larger area of 1,000 acres, and the land is good, and it is also close to Kyoto. ”

After speaking, he stepped aside and waited for Zhou Xiaofu's opinion.

Zhou Xiaofu, who drank a cup of tea, raised his head and said: "Wang Zhuangtou, tomorrow, you will go to Tongzhou alone to see how Zhuangzi's land is, who owned it before you came again, why you want to sell it, and how many silver taels you plan to sell again." ”

When Wang Yousi heard Zhou Xiaofu say this, he couldn't help nodding in his heart, he was really thoughtful.

"The second thing is that Tongzhou Mansion is now spreading, Cui Yuxuan has received four pieces of treasure-level jewelry and seals, and it is rumored that it was sold by a white-chubby little eye and a white-faced mother, and now someone is privately asking whose young master this is." Wang Yousi glanced at Zhou Xiaofu to report for duty.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled in a low voice and said, "It's okay, how can we have a fat boy here, if you hear any news about this matter in the future, you can also come and report it in time, and we can be prepared in case there is anything." ”

Wang Yousi agreed, and withdrew.

Zhou Xiaoyang saw that his sister handled things with ease, and he was also happy in his heart, his sister had really grown up a lot.

Zhou Xiaofu saw Zhou Xiaoyang looking at him and smiled: "Brother, what's the matter, this Wang Yousi is okay, he has surrendered to me, try it first, if the ability is good and loyal, use it, after all, our brother and sister are also short of manpower." ”

Zhou Xiaoyang understood Wang Yousi's actions when he heard his sister say this.

Then he asked: "Sister, I didn't expect the things I sold to make such a big move, so you can collect the rest and don't sell it, so as not to be known." What are you going to do when you buy Zhuangzi again? ”

Zhou Xiaofu said: "Well, I don't plan to sell it anymore, the current silver money is enough for our brothers and sisters for a long time, and we will talk about it when we need it urgently." I bought Zhuangzi because I wanted to grow some food and raise some people. ”

Zhou Xiaoyang was stunned for planting food, he knew that he was raising people, what did this mean, so he asked, "Raising people?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu said: "Yes, brother, we are still young now, you are 14 years old this year, you will take the Xiucai exam in September, and the next thing is the government exam, if you are shun, it is the palace exam, we don't have our own manpower, I want to buy a Zhuangzi to adopt some orphans or something, cultivate some of my own manpower, and secondly, I can trust it, isn't it." ”

Zhou Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment and said, "How could my sister think so far, it's still far away." ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "It's still far away, most parents start to plan and train people for their children when they are young, we have no choice but to train ourselves." ”

Zhou Xiaoyang's heart is hot, after his mother's death, the rented house is far away, it is beyond the reach of the whip, and there is little help, now this sister has really grown up, he used to worry about her and take care of her silently, but now it is the other way around, but the sister planned for him early, this is the blood and family affection.

Zhou Xiaoyang nodded and said, "Well, my sister's arrangement is, if you can't come forward, leave it to me to do, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Zhou Xiaofu nodded obediently, these concerns are necessary in this era, after all, a woman's reputation is more important than life.
