The three of them said as they walked, and when Xu Huaiyi entered the house, almost the whole village knew that he had been admitted to the Jingwu Academy, and the power of gossip was so strong.

Set for tomorrow at noon, invite a few acquaintances to come to the house for dinner, Village Chief Xu and Xu Maoyuan left unsatisfied, they still have a lot of things to ask clearly, but thinking that the young couple must also have a lot to say, it is not good to stay and disagree, so they can only wait for the next time to inquire.

After entering the West House, Xu Huaiyi directly stabbed on the kang and lay down, "It's quiet." ”

Gu Huanxi poured him a cup of tea, and was not in a hurry to ask, turned his head and instructed Wei Ci to bring the food over, after the weather was cold, their family liked to eat in this house.

The kang was warm, and he sat cross-legged and comfortable.

Soon, Wei Ci and Wei An came in with plates and bowls, and the kang table was full of arranged, sweet and sour pork ribs, old chef cabbage, crab roe tofu, braised carp, and a lamb stewed radish, which was good in color and flavor, and aroused people's appetite, Xu Huaiyi sat up and couldn't help but take a piece of pork ribs and gnaw on it first.

Seeing Gu Xiaoyu looking at him, he also stuffed him with a piece of it, "You can eat if you want, in your own home, you still need to be so polite?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu, "......"

He's not polite, he's not used to being so informal.

Holding a piece of ribs in his hand, he stiffened for a moment, but he still learned from Xu Huaiyi's appearance and gnawed on, but the action was much more gentle.

Xu Huaiyi said, "That's right, you have to live freely and happily, what's the point of holding it all day long?" Just pretend to be in front of people, and after people, let go a little, how to be comfortable and how to come, otherwise you will be tired to death. ”

After speaking, he also asked Gu Huanxi, "Daughter-in-law, am I right?" ”

In terms of educating children, he didn't dare to be arbitrary, he had to consult his daughter-in-law's opinions, especially when it came to Gu Xiaoyu, he was very cautious now.

Because he had already guessed Gu Xiaoyu's identity, good guy, as he expected, was the highest-end kind of game, and if one didn't play well, he would be wiped out.

Gu Xiaoyu also looked at her, compared to his father, he still felt that his mother was more reliable.

Gu Huanxi opened a small jar of wine, poured it, and said, "What you said is right, but it is not universal, it can only be your attitude towards life, and it may not be applicable to others, so you still have to find the most suitable positioning for yourself according to your personal situation. ”

When Gu Xiaoyu heard this, he thought to himself, it really has to be his mother, his father has a straightforward temperament and is easy to be emotional, but his mother's words will calm people down.

And Xu Huaiyi subconsciously explained, "I didn't mess around with my own temperament, I was outside today, but I didn't dare to have a little bit out of the ordinary, I was honest and ......."

"Really?"

"It's true!"

He said it without any ambiguity, and his eyes were frank.

Gu Huanxi curled the corners of his lips, "Eat first, and I'll talk about it later." ”

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have five flavors.

Xu Huaiyi couldn't help humming a minor tune when he was relaxed, Gu Huanxi asked him about today's exam process, he naturally knew everything and said everything, and took out the posture of storytelling, suppressed and frustrated, full of emotions, and depicted it like a scene reproduction, as if he had experienced it himself.

After listening to this, Gu Huanxi thought thoughtfully, "So, that Master Sun treats you differently?" ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "His attitude towards me is really good, but you don't have to worry, I am among the twelve people, not very conspicuous, so as not to attract the envy of others, the two I just said, Li Yunting and Zhao Sanyou, Master Xue and Master Ma's appreciation of them is even more undisguised, I see, Master Xue even wants to accept Zhao Sanyou as an apprentice, and set the status of master and apprentice, which is much closer than us people......

Gu Huanxi heard this, looked at him and asked directly, "What about you?" If that Master Sun also wants to take you as an apprentice, will you agree? ”

Xu Huaiyi was entangled, "I don't really want to, he is not a few years older than me, I don't want to have to be filial to a peer for the rest of my life, master and apprentice are like father and son, who wants to find a father for themselves?" ”

The corners of Gu Xiaoyu's mouth twitched when he listened.

Gu Huanxi was speechless, was this the point she wanted to ask? "And then?"

Xu Huaiyi continued, "But Master Sun's family background is very unusual, snobbery realistically thinks, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against such a big tree, but if you are sensible, this kind of tied up relationship, there are pros and cons, in case the Sun family has something to do, we have to plant it in, one glory and one loss, but if he really speaks, I refuse, that is ignorant of lifting, and it will definitely offend people, alas, being too good is also a burden......"

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I'll listen to your ......"

Gu Huanxi glanced at him, turned his head and asked Gu Xiaoyu, "Do you know anything about the Sun family?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu said, "I don't know, but the Sun family is a prestigious family, and I know a little bit, the Master Sun that my father said, I don't know, but the Sun family is now in the court, and there are several third-grade officials, both civil and military." is still in real power, and there are even more children of the Sun family who serve in other places. ”

"So, the Sun family is flourishing, and the network of relationships is very large?"

"Well, after hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years of reproduction, there are all kinds of in-laws, the roots are deep, and their personal connections are not necessarily clear to their own families, which is beyond the reach of those noble families in the capital, and even more so for officials from poor families."

Xu Huaiyi sighed with emotion, "So, Master Sun's background is very deep." ”

Having such a person is equivalent to having all the relationships behind him, proper golden thighs.

Such a temptation is not insignificant.

Gu Huanxi ignored him and continued to ask Gu Xiaoyu, "Does the Sun family stand in line?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu's face changed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and shook his head, "My son didn't hear about it, on the surface, the Sun family didn't marry their daughter into the royal family, but among the Sun family's in-laws, there are still some who turn the corner, as for the inside, what the Sun family's plan is, the son can't guess it either." ”

As soon as he heard the question of standing in line, Xu Huaiyi's mind was extremely clear, and he immediately said, "Then let's stay away from the Sun family, this kind of family, if you want to completely leave the battlefield, it is impossible." ”

Besides, if they really want to stand in line, they can only stand in their own house, and their elbows can still be turned out?

Gu Huanxi understood what he meant, and said lightly, "Let's take a look first, people want to show favor, you should continue to follow, be respectful to others, don't flatter, don't be alienated, if he really has that idea in the future, you can find a reason not to offend people and try to push it as much as possible." ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "Actually, even if he doesn't formally apprentice, he is also the master of our group, and he will have to provide for him in the future, but the relationship is not so close." ”

Therefore, as long as you step into that circle, it is impossible to completely dissociate yourself from the relationship. (End of chapter)
