Zhou Yijun practiced at Hai's house until sunset, and then hurried back to the Zhenguo Mansion for dinner.

The next day, he came to the door early in the morning. At first, Haijiao would practice with him, and then he would take care of his own books and review his homework.

Haijiao should have enrolled in Chang'an Guard School at this time, because he recommended himself to Jin Jiashu and Zhou Yijun as guards, and his cousin Xie Wenzai specially interceded for him, and Haixi Cliff relented and allowed him to delay his enrollment. But in order to catch up with his homework quickly, he still has to work hard and hurry up to review before officially enrolling.

Now that Chang'an guards are learning the progress of a new batch of students, Hai Chang'an, who is a teacher of archery, will help his nephew inquire every day, so Haijiao knows very well what he should review. It's just that he has a lot to do every day, he has to practice martial arts, and he has to find out the news, and the time that can really be put in the books is very limited, so he can only try to make use of every moment of leisure.

At this time, Begonia will not come to disturb his brother and his friends. However, grandmother Ma is worried about her grandson, and will send Aunt Cui or Aunt Ma over from time to time to bring some tea and snacks and add a charcoal basin. Begonia will help her grandmother come up with ideas and bring food to Haijiao and Zhou Yijun to their liking.

Near noon, the two teenagers left Hai's house and went to the Zhuangzi "gifted" by Zhou Shigong to Jin Jiashu not far outside the city, and accompanied the latter to lunch. Zhou Yijun will continue to practice imitating Jin Jiashu's words and deeds, and Hai Jiao will teach Jin Jiashu to ride horses instead of him. Two hours later, they returned to their home in the city to continue practicing. After dinner, Zhou Yijun will return to the Zhenguo Mansion.

After two or three days like this, a cousin in the Zhenguo Mansion teased Zhou Yijun and asked him why he mixed with the reef every day? When is this going to be good? I went to Hai's house early in the morning and didn't come back until it was dark and had dinner? Could it be that the Hai family has any delicacies that other families don't have?

Zhou Yijun casually prevaricated with words. Because the matter was confidential, he didn't explain it clearly to his cousins, and when he went out every day, half of the time was not in the Hai family, but at Jin Jiashu outside the city. His cousins only joked and joked, and did not ask questions.

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. This little episode inside the Zhenguo Mansion reached Mrs. Gui's ears, and she had a different interpretation.

Mrs. Gui is also from a family of eunuchs and has brothers. In her opinion, young people who run to other people's houses to play all day must be attracted by something. The Hai family is just a small family, and there is not even a garden school, Zhou Yijun is with the reef, what pastime can he do? Zhou Yijun regretted that he didn't want to go to the border city to practice, if it was said that he was studying and practicing martial arts with Haijiao, it would be a joke. So what else could it be?

Mrs. Gui once saw Begonia, Hua Chao glanced at the small banquet hurriedly, and her impression seemed to be a very beautiful and lovely girl, about the same age as her daughter Wu Qiong, and Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Xuejun sisters are all friends. It is clear that he has been strictly taught since he was a child. With the Hai family's family background, his family must have ulterior motives for raising a little girl so carefully! Haixi Cliff is obviously just a seven-grade sesame official under General Thursday, but he can make friends with the Zhenguo Mansion, maybe he wants to get close to the Zhenguo Mansion!

Mrs. Gui recalled her experience of marrying the second son of the Guozhang family, and immediately concluded that the Hai family had the "ambition" of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix. She is now full of her daughter's marriage, and naturally thinks that other people's families are rare Zhou Yijun, a son-in-law candidate.

Considering that Haitang is good friends with Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Xuejun, and Haijiao is Zhou Yijun's friend, he has been taking Zhou Yijun home from time to time recently. She tried to ask Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Xuejun about Haitang's information, and inquired about the details of the Hai family in front of Mrs. Wednesday, and also said something openly and secretly in front of Mrs. Thursday that her children should be married.

Zhou Yijun was busy all day and didn't notice anything wrong at all. He lived a full and happy life in the Hai family, and was very grateful for the hospitality and intimate arrangements of the Hai family, and repeatedly asked Hai Jiao to convey his gratitude on his behalf. It's a pity that his father still knows some about what he is doing now, but his mother is completely unaware, so he can't tell his parents about the hospitality he has received, so that they can thank the second elder of the Hai family on his behalf. However, when he talked about the Hai family with his parents on weekdays, he couldn't help but say a few more good words. The general and his wife on Thursday had a good impression of the Hai family, and naturally agreed with their son's words.

Mrs. Thursday didn't take Mrs. Gui's words to heart at all, but because she was about to be separated from her son, she remembered that her son would soon go to the border city to experience, and this was all caused by Mrs. Gui's persecution, she was sad in her heart, and a little resentful, even if she didn't show it on her face, she also had perfunctory thoughts about Mrs. Gui. Whatever the latter said, she turned a deaf ear. If she heard Mrs. Gui say bad things about the Hai family, she was quite annoyed in her heart, and she became more and more disgusted with Mrs. Gui.

Mrs. Gui had an accident at her husband's house, and her mother's family was far away, so she lived a life of looking at people's faces, and naturally she quickly noticed Mrs. Thursday's dislike. She was secretly angry in her heart, and she only felt that Mrs. Thursday might have taken a fancy to the daughter of the Hai family, so she would be impatient to entertain herself. Could it be that she really wants to give up Zhou Yijun?

How can it be?! finally found out that Zhou Yijun was very likely not to go to Ningxia, and he found his handle again, and had the confidence to hold him and obey his orders, if he couldn't promote his marriage with his daughter, where else could she find a more suitable son-in-law? !

She quickened the pace of inquiring about the news of Begonia, and wanted to see this little girl alone, so that the other party would retreat.

Mrs. Gui's strange words and deeds attracted the attention of the sisters Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Xuejun. Zhou Wenjun wrote a letter to Haitang, mentioning this matter, and Mrs. Gui was inexplicably hostile to her, I don't know if it was because Zhou Yijun praised the Hai family for his warm and thoughtful hospitality.

Zhou Wenjun didn't expect his cousin's marriage at all, but Zhou Xuejun had some guesses, and asked the former to remind Haitang in the letter, and apologize for his brother by the way.

Although Zhou Xuejun doesn't know why his brother Zhou Yijun always likes to go to the Hai family, it is definitely not because he likes Begonia, because he never mentions his friend's sister at home, all he talks about is how enthusiastic and thoughtful Mrs. Hai Ma is, how skilled the Hai family's cooks are, and how the two friends, Haijiao and Jin Jiashu, have a tacit understanding with him, and so on. His mind was full of thoughts of going to the frontier to experience, and he didn't want to think about marriage at all, but it was only because of his praise of the Hai family that it caused Mrs. Gui's misunderstanding, and Haitang was completely unjustified. Zhou Xuejun felt that this was his brother's negligence, and he had to compensate Haitang on behalf of his brother.

Begonia read the letter and only felt ridiculous.

How many times did Zhou Yijun go to a friend's house, was he interested in his friend's sister? If everyone in Chang'an thinks like Mrs. Gui, how can those unmarried young men make friends? Who doesn't have one or two sisters?

Mrs. Gui is using the capital to measure the interpersonal communication in Chang'an City again.

Although Chang'an City is stricter than the border cities such as Gansu and Su, the atmosphere is more open than that of Gyeonggi and Jiangnan. Zhou, Tang and other young people from big families meet at banquets and other occasions, and relatives mix together to laugh and play, which is a common thing, otherwise how could Tang Hui have admiration for Jin Shan, and how could Zhou Sujun have a long-term affection for Tang Hui?

Zhou Yijun went to Hai's house to find a reef to play, and it has nothing to do with the begonias in the backyard, just like Zhou Yijun now lives in the four-room courtyard of the Zhenguo Mansion, and has almost no contact with Wu Qiong, who lives in the guest house.
