Chapter 367: Going to the Banquet

The three of them, the Hai family brothers and sisters and Jin Jiashu, failed to discuss any results.

In fact, they are not completely without ideas, but what the three and a half children want to do, they have to make suggestions through Xie Wenzai, so that they can reach the ears of those who can get ideas. But the Zhenguo Mansion was happy to accept Xie Wenzai's suggestion, but the Tang family trusted their own judgment more. They were very polite to Xie Wenzai, but they did not listen to his advice, and still acted according to the will of their own master. Xie Wenzai is helpless about this, what can the Hai family brothers and sisters and Jin Jiashu do?

They could only wait for the latest news in Haijia, and Haijiao and Jin Jiashu had to be taught by Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian, read books for half the night, and did a lot of homework. When they woke up the next morning, they were still a little confused, and they always felt that their brains were about to move.

Begonias are in much better shape than they are. She has actually resumed her homework since the Lantern Festival, but her homework is not the same thing as her brother's. She doesn't need to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, the Book of War and the Military Law, she only needs to listen to historical allusions, memorize famous poems, and then learn pairs with Cao and Lu, and practice calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, in addition to completing her homework on time every day, she still has spare energy to practice martial arts, do needlework, plant flowers and grass, accompany her grandmother Ma to study recipes, help calculate housework accounts, listen to her brother Haijiao talk about what happened outside, and then discuss with him the encirclement and suppression plan of the Zhou and Tang families. Everything she arranged in an orderly manner, but she completed it easily and casually.

Haijiao saw that the little sister was doing a lot of things, but she seemed to be very leisurely every day, so she couldn't help but be full of envy.

can be envious to envy, he is not to the point of jealousy. He knew that what he had to learn was different from his little sister, and his little sister could easily live a life, but he had to work harder. Not only did he have to learn new things, but in order not to make his elders suspicious, he had to take advantage of his leisure time to learn what he had learned when he was a teenager and re-learn it.

He rolled it himself, and now he also pulls Jin Jiashu to roll it together: "Don't you feel a little tired?" You're just not used to it. My cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu have always taught me this way. It's a bit hard to learn, but it's good to get used to it. Now that we're young and don't have anything to do, working hard now will make it much easier in the future. Besides, you said that when you were a child, your family didn't let you study, and when you did, your stepmother always made trouble for you and didn't let your father guide you in your homework. Now that these obstacles are gone, my cousin's knowledge is better than that of your father, and with his teaching, as long as you work hard and are willing to learn, you will definitely be able to achieve something in the imperial examination in the future! ”

Jin Jiashu looked up at him: "Mr. Xie teaches you the same thing as what he taught me, why do you always know my homework well?" I did not know that I was such a foolish man that I was far less learned than yours. "Reef is also smarter than he thought he was. Did he really have some misunderstanding about the reef in the past? How can you think that this friend is a solid eye with excellent martial arts skills but not very shrewd?

Haijiao snorted: "I've learned all these lessons from you." At that time, I also had the intention of taking the imperial examination, but in the past two years, I changed my mind and planned to join the army, so my cousin changed my homework. However, I still remember everything I have learned before, and my cousin also thinks that there is nothing wrong with me reading more books, so I have to check it from time to time. You think I'm erudite, but I just have a better memory. You didn't have the opportunity to be taught by famous teachers before, and you always encountered obstacles when you were studying, so you delayed. As long as you can concentrate on studying hard in the future, you will definitely catch up with me soon, and even surpass me! ”

He encouraged Jin Jiashu: "You have to work hard! While no one is hindering you now, and there is a famous teacher to guide you, you are not short of food or clothing, and it is not good to go out with filial piety, so you should seize the time to study hard. When you get famous, the second room of the Jin family will no longer be able to pinch you in the name of an elder, and you will have to stay away from you in the future, so as not to be retaliated against by you! ”

In the future, if Empress Dowager Xu has a famous "nephew", she can be regarded as a helper in the court, right? For the friends who help the "nephew" become talented, will the Empress Dowager Xu also look at it differently?

Haijiao was a little distracted, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Jin Jiashu turning his head to look out of the door seriously, and looked out along his line of sight, but it was the little sister Haitang who was dressed neatly, pretty and decent, and was walking through the courtyard outside.

Hai Jiao hurriedly got up and walked to the door and asked, "Little sister, where are you going?" ”

While arranging the rainproof cloak on her body, Haitang replied: "Sister Wenjun's feast is today, I have to go over early and try to talk to her more." Didn't I tell you yesterday? ”

Reef patted his head. His attention yesterday was all on the encirclement and suppression actions of the Zhou and Tang families, even if the little sister mentioned two irrelevant gossips, he took them as a deaf ear. However, when Zhou Wenjun wrote to Xiaomei a few days ago, Xiaomei mentioned this matter, but he just forgot that the date of the banquet was today.

He said casually, "Then you can go and have some fun—but I want to send you there?" ”

"No, I don't. I told my grandmother that Ma Changnian would drive me and the grapes over, and I didn't need my brother. Haitang put the hood attached to the cloak on his head, raised his feet and walked to the front yard, "Brother is waiting for news at home, I have had lunch and will be back soon, I hope that the Tang family will have a result by then." ”

Haijiao nodded in response: "You go, be careful on the road, and come back early." ”

He sent his little sister out of the door all the way, watched her and Yahuan get into the carriage, and drove in the direction of Zhou Wenjun's courtyard, before returning home, thinking about it, and went to find his cousin Xie Wenzai to see if the Tang family had sent new news.

Just when Haijiao was about to return to the second hospital, someone came to find Xie Wenzai.

It was not the Tang family who came, but the personal soldiers of the Zhenguo Mansion, who came over on the orders of the old military division. He sent Xie Wenzai a not-so-good news.

This morning, the upbringing grandmother sent the maid Xiaocui out to "buy". As she was walking on the road, she met with someone from her new base. I don't know what the two of them talked about, but after that, the two quickly separated, and Xiaocui returned to her mother's place, and then they began to pack their bags. But they didn't pay attention to all the heavy and difficult cages, and only concentrated on cleaning them up. The movement was so loud that even the servants sent by the Tang family noticed it and tried to go to the inner courtyard to inquire, but they were scolded back, but they still dutifully reported the news to the master's family to know.

The Tang family sent people to surround the courtyard of the nurturing grandmothers, preventing them from leaving, but they didn't care about dealing with them yet, because their attention was on the new stronghold.

At some point, more than half of the people in the new base were missing, and there were only two or three minions left in the house to fake all kinds of illusions, so that the people watching them thought they were still in the house. If it weren't for the person in charge of tracking Xiaocui who saw her meet with the people in the new base, the Tang family wouldn't know that "Cai Ye" had already run away with his henchmen!

There is an extra dog hole under the root of the back wall of the house in the new stronghold, and it is estimated that "Caiye" stole away from here.

This was the negligence of the Tang family. The head of the Tang family was furious, and the people under him also felt shameless. They did not make a noise, only controlled the people who could not escape, and were about to torture and ask about the whereabouts of "Cai Ye" and others. The Zhou family felt that it was not good, and hurriedly sent a letter to the old military master and Xie Wenzai, wanting to ask them to help with a detailed look or two, speculating on the most likely whereabouts of the "Cai Ye" at the moment.

According to the feedback of several guards at the city gate, this person has not yet left the city, and must be hiding in some corner.

Xie Wenzai frowned, feeling that he had to go to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Haijiao hurriedly told Jin Jiashu the news.

At this time, Begonia had just gotten off in front of Zhou Wenjun's courtyard.
