Tang Shuyi didn't know that Xiao Yiyuan already knew his identity, he was waiting for Xiao Yuming to come back, and he didn't know how he behaved with General Xiang today. Just thinking about it, Xiao Yuming came back, his expression was quite good, and he didn't look unhappy.

"How's it going?" She asked.

Xiao Yuming walked to the edge of the chair and sat down, and said, "General Xiang asked me to be his long-term follower." ”

Tang Suyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked with a sudden look, "What did you say?" ”

"Just be it!" Xiao Yuming said, looking indifferent.

Tang Shuyi glanced at him, and then smiled, "I know that my son is a man who can bend and stretch, you see, the prince of the Hou Mansion can be the brother, and the general's long-term follower can also be done." ”

Xiao Yuming: "......."

"Then what did you do with General Xiang today?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Xiao Yuming replied: "The general always let me follow him in whatever he does, he has been staying in the study since he returned from the martial arts training ground in the morning, reading books and reading maps, and went to meet two friends in the afternoon." ”

Tang Shuyi nodded, "General Xiang is attentive." Son, he teaches you by word and deed. As his elder, you have always followed him, and you can clearly see how the general practices martial arts, what books he reads, how he disciplines his subordinates, how he gets along with his colleagues, and so on. As long as you put your mind to it, you can definitely learn something. ”

"Mother, I know." Xiao Yuming said.

"My son has grown up." Tang Shuyi said with a smile: "After dinner for a while, you can write down what the general did today, think about what you should learn and how to learn." If you don't understand, I'll ask the general tomorrow. ”

Xiao Yuming nodded seriously, and Tang Shuyi was thinking in his heart, he must give a gift to Mrs. Xiang, a big gift. Anyway, General Xiang is a favorite daughter-in-law, as long as Mrs. Xiang is happy, General Xiang will be happy.

After dinner, Xiao Yuming did not go back to his yard, but went to Niu Hongliang to ask him how to read the map. He didn't understand much of the map he looked at today.

Niu Hongliang was also very happy to know that Xiao Yuming was learning from General Xiang, and said: "Second son, this is a rare opportunity, you must take advantage of it!" ”

"I know Master Niu." Xiao Yuming said respectfully: "I came to ask you how to read a map. ”

"No problem, you come with me." Niu Hongliang is very happy, the second son of the Hou Mansion has begun to take the initiative to learn things, this is a good start.

Entering the house, Niu Hongliang took out a map and began to tell him little by little......

Tang Shuyi soon learned about this, and she said to Cuizhu Cuiyun: "Does Master Niu have a son?" ”

"Yes, twelve or thirteen years old, I heard that I like to read." Cuiyun Road.

Tang Shuyi pondered for a while, "Call Master Niu over tomorrow and ask his son if he wants to go to Shanglin Academy to study, and if he wants, let Steward Zhao send someone over." ”

She will not treat anyone who is dedicated to the Hou Mansion or her son badly.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and said to Cuizhu Cuiyun: "If you two have a crush on someone, tell Madame, Madame, I'll get it back for you." ”

Cuiyun's face turned red when she heard this, but Cuizhu said: "Madam, the slave doesn't want to marry, the slave wants to learn from you." ”

Tang Shuyi laughed, "Okay, then you study hard." ”

As she spoke, she turned her head and saw Cuiyun's flushed face, and said with a sigh, "Who do you really like!" Tell me, who? ”

Cuiyun's face turned even redder with shame, and she saluted Tang Shuyi and said, "The slave maid went to see if the ginseng soup was ready." ”

After saying that, he walked quickly, Tang Shuyi turned his head and asked Cuizhu curiously, "Who?" Did You Know? ”

Cuizhu smiled, "It's Steward Zhao's second son, Zhao Li." ”

Tang Shuyi thought about Steward Zhao's second son, who seemed to be eighteen or nineteen, a tall young man.

"Does Zhao Li know?" Tang Shuyi asked.

"I know, it was Zhao Li who fell in love with Cuiyun first." Cuizhu said.

Tang Shuyi snorted, "You tell Cuiyun, tell me when you want to get married, and I'll prepare a dowry." However, even if you become a parent, you have to come to me to continue to do things. ”

Zhao Li also works in the Hou Mansion and is now a small steward. If Cuiyun and Zhao Li became successful, it would be regarded as not leaving the house, and it would be better to come back to do things.

The economic base determines the superstructure, both ancient and modern. After a woman gets married, she must not only rely on the dowry to support her confidence, but also rely on her own family or identity. Cuiyun is a girl bought from outside, not a child in the house, compared with the son of Steward Zhao, it is one layer worse.

However, if she is still doing things by her side after getting married, no one dares to underestimate her. Don't say that they are all inferior, if no one looks down on anyone, as long as there are people there, there will be rivers and lakes.

Of course, Steward Zhao's family is also very good, and he is also a smart person, and it is really good for Cuiyun to marry into his family.

After chatting with Cuiyun and Cuizhu for a while, Tang Shuyi washed up and rested.

But Xiao Yiyuan, who was in the dormitory of Shanglin Academy, couldn't sleep at all. It wasn't very dark in the room, and he lay on the bed with his eyes open, looking at the beams of the roof. From childhood to adulthood, scenes flashed in my mind.

When he was born, the family was still in a fixed home, and he was born in a ruined temple. At that time, the family was so poor that the bark on the trees on the roadside could be chewed and eaten, and his mother did not have a good ration to eat even if he gave birth, so there was no milk, and he grew up drinking vegetable paste.

Later, their family went all the way to the south, and finally found a place to settle in southern Xinjiang, and the family was stable, but life was still miserable.

Her grandmother told her every day that if only she hadn't let her grandfather join the army. said that his grandfather was smart and capable, and his body was strong, and the family's rations for a month came out after a trip to the mountains. He also said that when his grandfather was still at home, the family hardly cut off meat, because his grandfather was very good at hunting.

At that time, they were drooling, and they might not be able to eat a bite of meat in a year. They all thought it would be nice if their grandfather was here, but they died.

And now someone told him that his grandfather did not die at the beginning, but followed the emperor to fight the country and made great contributions and made a marquis, but he married a noble girl.

Panic in the heart of a blockage.

However, he knew that what he was encountering now was definitely not simple, and even he was a little skeptical that what was said in the letter was true. But how can he tell? He is a poor scholar, and there are few people he knows in the huge Shangjing, how can he listen to the information of the Yongning Marquis Mansion?

What's more, there are still people with bad intentions who want to take advantage of him.

He thought about asking Fang Daru, but the truth of the matter hadn't been clarified yet, how could he ask? Fang Daru is good to him, but it is far from the point where he can completely communicate with him.

He couldn't sleep that night, but he didn't dare tos, because there was someone in the dormitory who didn't mean to him.

Although his previous life was hard, it had never been so complicated.
