Xiao Yuchen sat on the chair by the window, turning his head to look at the night outside the window, dark and quiet.

He said: "Just now I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I saw my father practicing martial arts. ”

When Xiao Yuming heard his words, he put the water cup on the table and collapsed in the chair like a bone, "I thought you only had Liu Biqin in your head." ”

Xiao Yuchen didn't expect him to say this suddenly, he turned his head suddenly, and Xiao Se looked at Xiao Yuming a little embarrassed, "I... You...."

Under Xiao Yuming's cynical eyes, Xiao Yuchen didn't know what to say, and finally could only look at the night outside in silence.

There was silence in the room, and the dim light stretched out the shadows of the brothers.....

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yuchen said in a similar whisper: "You don't understand the relationship between me and her." ”

Xiao Yuming sneered, "You don't understand my affairs. ”

Xiao Yuchen looked back at Xiao Yuming, who was slumped in the chair, and suddenly felt that he didn't know this younger brother very well. In fact, after thinking about it again, he really didn't understand him, his mind was on reading and Liu Biqin before, where would he put more attention on his younger brothers and sisters.

He is indeed an unqualified elder brother.

"I.... I really don't have the qualifications to discipline you, I'm here today to tell you....."

Xiao Yuchen wanted to tell him that it was very hard for his mother to support the entire Hou Mansion, and we shouldn't let her work anymore. But these words sounded very instructive, thinking of Xiao Yuming's words just now, he couldn't say it all of a sudden.

In the end, I could only say: "It's nothing, my mother said that if you think about it, let you out, have a good rest, I'll go first." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked to the door, his steps a little hasty. Xiao Yuming still collapsed in the chair without saying a word or moving.

After a while, the little guy guarding the door came, he stood at the door and bent down carefully, looked at Xiao Yuming who was sitting there quietly, and said, "Second son, the slave has locked the door." ”

Xiao Yuming sat there like a stone carving, not saying a word or moving, and the little servant nodded at him again and locked the door.

Xiao Yuchen walked out of the study to his Qingfeng Garden, stepping on the cold moonlight, a cool breeze blew, and the chill swept along the collar, but he didn't realize it.

When he was about to arrive at Qingfeng Yuan, he suddenly stopped, looked at the night in the distance and said, "Do you think I'm really wrong?" ”

Changming, who had been quietly following him, didn't know what he was asking, and he didn't know how to answer. Xiao Yuchen didn't seem to let him answer, and after a while he said again: "What is wrong, and what is right?" Is it right to see her trampled on and ignore her? ”

Changming didn't know how to reply to his words, so he could only bow his head and remain silent. Seeing that he continued to walk forward, he immediately followed.

Entering Qingfeng Garden, Ziling immediately greeted him, "Eldest son, why didn't you wear a cloak when the weather is so cold?" ”

Xiao Yuchen didn't say anything, and walked straight inside, Ziling was busy waiting for him to bathe and rest.....

.......

When it was almost noon the next day, Tang Shuyi was looking at the dowry of her predecessor, of course, it was her dowry now. She plans to use her private house to invest in the clubhouse, and not take the money of the public in the house.

The accounts of the Hou Mansion are very clearly divided, the public silver in the mansion comes from the property of the old Hou Ye and Xiao Huai, and the dowry of the old Hou and the predecessor belongs to himself. Although the current master of the Hou Mansion is her and her three children, Tang Shuyi still manages the old marquis, the old marquis, Xiao Huai and her own property separately.

Because there will be a big trouble in the Hou Mansion in the future, maybe it will involve the separation, and the accounts are still clearer.

Looking at the silver taels that could be turned over in his private property accounts, Tang Shuyi calculated in his heart how many silver taels he would need to build a club the size of a three-courtyard courtyard. At this time, Cuiyun came in and said, "Madam, the graphite from the second son's side is here." ”

Tang Shuyi looked away from the account book and said, "Let him in." ”

Graphite entered the house and saw Tang Shuyi hurriedly kneeling, "The slave greets Madame." ”

Tang Shuyi lowered her eyes and glanced at him, Xiao Yuming's two long entourage, she knew a little. Inkstone is honest, this graphite is a clever one.

"Get up." She said.

Graphite got up, bent his back slightly, and said, "Madam, the second son asked the slave to tell you that he figured it out." ”

Tang Shuyi was silent for a moment, "Okay, I'll go see him." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked out, Cuizhu Cuiyun also followed, and Graphite hurriedly followed. He walked beside Cuiyun and whispered: "Sister Cuiyun, the second son has been sitting there every day for the past two days without saying a word or moving, looking like he is thinking, he must have figured it out this time." ”

Cuiyun glanced at him and snorted, "You have a lot of eyes." He said what he said to his wife just now, and the meaning was obvious, saying that the second son listened to his wife's words very much and was thinking seriously.

Graphite hehehehe.

Tang Shuyi heard the conversation between the two in front of her, and the corners of her lips curled. Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming's long-term entourage, no matter what their temperament is, are loyal.

In a blink of an eye, Tang Shuyi asked people to open the door of the study, and saw Xiao Yuming standing in front of the desk, his eyes were shining, and he looked very good, not at all like being locked up in a small black room. Seeing her, he grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, "Mother, you sit." ”

Tang Shuyi walked to the desk and sat down, Xiao Yuming stood in front of him in an orderly manner, and said, "Mother, I have thought about it, I want to practice martial arts." ”

Tang Shuyi looked at him fixedly, wondering if he really thought about it or if he was fooling her. But Xiao Yuming bared his white teeth and smiled at her, but he couldn't see any flaws.

She suddenly realized that this second son was not only rebellious, but also had a lot of eyes. But these are nothing, it is better to have more eyes than to be simply fooled.

She said: "It's good to practice martial arts, I'll find you a master to practice martial arts." ”

"No need, just Niu Hongliang." Xiao Yuming said.

Tang Shuyi thought about this Niu Hongliang, who was the head of the guard of the Hou Mansion, and was once a captain under Xiao Huai, but later his arm was injured and he couldn't carry heavy objects, and he couldn't be promoted in the army, so Xiao Huai made him the head of the guard of the Hou Mansion.

The person arranged by Xiao Huai is naturally no problem with loyalty, but Xiao Yuming offered to practice martial arts with him, is there anything boring in the middle?

However, after hesitating for a moment, she still said, "Okay, I'll talk to him when I get back." You learn from him first, and I'll find you a better master later." ”

In fact, when Tang Shuyi proposed to let Xiao Yuming practice martial arts, he had already thought about finding the general Xiang Gao Chi to be his master. Although it is not easy to find General Xiang as a master, Xiao Huai once had kindness to him, and Tang Shuyi planned to show his face to "repay with kindness".

Now that Xiao Yuming has proposed it herself and let Niu Hongliang be her master, she doesn't want to push it too hard, and it will not be good to run away from home like Yan Wu when the time comes.
