"Someone—"

Wu shouted in fright.

"Heng'er, ...... your legs?"

"It's okay mother, it's just that she's numb and unconscious......"

Zou Youheng felt so sleepy. It should be tired and sleepy. There is a charcoal basin burning in the lobby, and the wooden planks are not too cold, anyway, someone will come to carry him back to the bedroom, so he might as well sleep for a while.

*

"Madame?!!"

Wang Yue'e had already fallen asleep when she suddenly heard this unpleasant sound in the courtyard.

She was still happy that Li Yan didn't come back just now, and sure enough, there were some things that couldn't be happy too early.

"Back to the master, the lady is in the bedroom."

The little girl replied crisply.

"Wang Yue, open the door!! ——”

In just a blink of an eye, Li Yan appeared outside the door of the bedroom.

The old wounds on his body are not yet complete, and every step he takes, he will pull the sore spot.

But when Wang Yue'e opened the door, she couldn't help but tremble when she saw Li Yan standing at the door.

Although the usual Li Yan is not much better, tonight he is even more infiltrating. His whole body was pungent with the smell of wine, his face was blue, his clothes were covered with dirt, and his whole body looked as if he had just returned from the king of Yama.

"Hmph...... Wang Yue'......"

Seeing Wang Yue'e with a frightened face, Li Yan crooked her mouth and laughed, then squeezed past her and staggered into the house.

"Li Yan, ...... you?"

Wang Yue's face was full of horror, and now she turned around and ran, not knowing if it would be too late.

"What am I? …… Isn't this particularly down-and-out now? …… Is it back to the down-and-out scholar Li Yan who makes you dislike? ”

Li Yan said intermittently. The expression on his face ranged from loneliness to sarcasm.

Knowing that he was drunk and looking for fault, Wang Yue'e didn't pay attention to him anymore.

This man is drunk tonight, and if she does it to herself later, she can give him two sticks.

"That's why I'm like this...... It's all because of you...... It's all you...... Wang Yue, it's all your good brother, and that group of people......"

Li Yan pointed at Wang Yue'e inarticulate and shouted.

Standing aside, Wang Yue'e watched Li Yan's every move with a vigilant face. She had to do this, in order to prevent the man from suddenly punching or slapping herself.

But tonight, he was unexpectedly drunk and married to him for so long. Wang Yue'e has never seen Li Yan drunk. It also made her a little curious about what was going on tonight while she was scared. But she wasn't going to ask.

"It's all a slut like you!! - If it weren't for the people you befriended, where would this be!! ——”

Li Yan's voice suddenly became sharp, and then the whole person stood up from the chair and took the teapot on the table casually. Rushed towards Wang Yue.

"Bang-"

A man fell to the ground.

Wang Yue'e...... You...... Why...... It is...... Just no...... Loved ......"

The last sentence is not finished. Li Yan fainted.

Just now when he pounced on him. Wang Yue'e urgently picked up an empty vase on the Bogu shelf and pointed it at his forehead. Maybe it was a bit heavy, and Li Yan, who was full of alcohol, fell to the ground.

A long sigh of relief. Wang Yue'e dragged Li Yan, who was like a puddle of mud, to the bed, then twisted a handkerchief and wiped his face casually. In order to prevent him from waking up again, Wang Yue'e didn't plan to help him change the dirty clothes on his body.

"Young master, the master asked you to go to the study."

Zou Youheng had just sat up on the bed when the voice of the little girl's fragrance sounded outside the door.

Is there any mistake?

Zou Yu didn't go to the yamen today?

Reaching out and rubbing his knees, which were still a little painful, Zou Youheng complained angrily in his heart. I've asked questions, I've knelt down, what else do I want?

But no matter how unwilling there were hundreds of people in his heart, Zou Youheng quickly appeared in Zou Yu's study.

"Heng'er, come and see Mr."

Wu was also in the study, and as soon as he saw Zou Youheng coming in, he pointed to an old man who was over half a hundred years old and had a goatee next to him and said to him.

Mr?

Zou Youheng noticed that in the study today, in addition to Zou Yu and Wu, there was a third person sitting.

Haven't they all been punished?

What does this Zou Yu want?

"What about the number of rites? Don't kneel yet! ”

Zou Yu's cold voice came.

Kneel again?!

Glancing at the Wu family next to him, Zou Youheng wanted to cry.

But Wu didn't stop Zou Yu this time.

couldn't ask for help, Zou Youheng could only kneel down obediently.

"Not to kneel towards me, but to sir. You are now an apprentice. ”

Zou Yu said again.

Apprentice?

What kind of teacher?

He is seventeen years old this year, at this age, is it meaningful to learn art from a teacher again?

Thinking so in his heart, Zou Youheng still did it honestly, and respectfully kowtowed to the white-bearded old man three loud heads.

"Okay, okay, stand up, it's all so big, don't kneel."

The white-bearded old man was quite open-minded, and directly helped Zou Youheng up.

"Heng'er, this Mr. Liu is the teacher of the saint today, and now he is also your teacher, you will have to study seriously with Mr. in the future, you are such a big person, you must be sensible, and you are not allowed to be lazy."

Wu stood up, stroked Zou Youheng's forehead and said.

What the?

After listening to Wu's words, Zou Youheng's eyes widened instantly.

Is this to get him to pick up those boring books and study again? Since the tenth gentleman that year, he hasn't touched a book for many years, and now he wants him to open the book again, and start school every day shaking his head, is this Zou Yu crazy or is he dreaming?

Didn't these two people give up the fantasy of letting him gain fame several years ago?

"Why are you staring so big? Why don't you hurry up and follow my husband to the backyard to study. ”

Seeing Zou Youheng's face in disbelief, Zou Yu said again.

"But. Daddy......"

Zou Youheng was completely unclear about the situation.

"Hurry up."

Zou Yu didn't mean to explain it to him.

Although there were all kinds of awkwardness and doubts in his heart, Zou Youheng obediently followed the white-bearded old man out of the study.

"Master, you said that Heng'er is so old, wouldn't it be too ...... to let him study and test his fame again?"

After the two left, Wu looked at Zou Yu and asked.

Zou Youheng is smart, but now that he is old enough to marry a daughter-in-law, and he has been in the wild outside for so many years, she really doubts that this person can still calm down and study.

"Give it a try."

Zou Yu buried his head in an old book.

After Zou Youheng left his tenth teacher when he was ten years old, he gave up hope of letting him study again. With his little cleverness. Even if you don't take the road of imperial examinations in the future, you can still do some small business in Rongzhou City to support yourself.

But in recent years, especially in the past two years, Zou Yu has found that his previous thinking was completely wrong. There is the Zou family's industry. Zou Youheng will only eat, drink and have fun outside. It's impossible to buy or sell at all. The more so. The more disappointed he became in this son. Especially after Tian Yuyan gave birth to a son to him, Zou Youheng has completely become a representative of indisputability in his heart. He already plans to give half of his family property to Zou Youheng in the future. Let him go out and destroy himself.

But yesterday's events made him completely change his opinion.

Especially the conversation with Li Yan later, which made Zou Yu's eyes light up. Zou Youheng's well-organized way of questioning is very Zou Yu's own style, or rather, it is simply a copy of himself.

It would be a pity for such a child to give up like this. So after thinking about it for a night, Zou Yu's thoughts returned to Zou Youheng's childhood, and he began to insist on Zou Youheng to study and take the imperial examination again, and forced him to adapt to the life of studying. With Zou Youheng's brain, Zou Yu believes that as long as he wants to, he will definitely be able to pass the exam.

"The crux of the matter now is that Heng'er's mind is no longer on studying at all."

Wu voiced his concerns.

Zou Youheng is good at everything, but he has never spent his mind on reading.

"I'm here."

Zou Yu still buried himself in the book and said lightly.

Are you there?

Say it lightly.

is already busy with affairs, and now that he has his own son, where will he have the heart to take care of Zou Youheng?

Wu pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

The house on the vacant lot at the back door was finally built at the end of March. On the day of Shangliang, Ye Xiaoyu also invited Wang Huaiqing to celebrate a little.

She originally wanted to invite Lu Tiangui, but unfortunately she was about to run into him going out to buy goods during that time, so Ye Xiaoyu could only give up.

In order to build the house behind, Ye Xiaoyu made a lot of money. The land is not big, in order to increase the bedroom, Ye Xiaoyu deliberately asked the craftsman to build two floors, one upstairs and one downstairs, so that if there is anyone else to stay overnight in the future, there is no need to compete with himself for a bed.

The extra triangular plot on the right side of the new house was also fenced by Ye Xiaoyu with a wooden fence for craftsmen, the range was very small, but it was enough for a horse, and Ye Xiaoyu ran to Mapu with joy that day to pick up Xiaobai.

However, the bed and cabinet that the carpenter helped to make have not been done yet, and Ye Xiaoyu is still sleeping in the shop these days.

The three kidnappers who kidnapped Tian Yuyun were also caught at the end of March, Ye Xiaoyu only remembered that the three of them were locked up in a prisoner car on the day they were caught and paraded through the streets of Rongzhou City for a day, and the next follow-up, because she was busy with her new house, she didn't pay attention. However, those who dare to break ground on Zou Yu's head should not end up much better.

The days went on like this. At the beginning of April, the carpenter finally finished the big bed and wooden cabinet that Ye Xiaoyu wanted, and on the day these things were delivered, Ye Xiaoyu moved into a new house, picked a bedroom on the second floor, and lived in it. Say goodbye to the miserable time of working on the floor in the shop for more than a year.

The business of the shop is as good as ever, and Ye Xiaoyu has long been accustomed to getting up early every day to make pastries, then going to Zou Mansion and several other big families to deliver cakes, and then going back to open the shop and start a day's pastry business. (To be continued......)
