Chapter 31
Back in the east room, Su Mingjiang took a look at Su Wanqiu, and said calmly: "In the final analysis, Sanya is the one who is most qualified to speak, Sanya, what do you think of this matter?"

Su Wanqiu was secretly calculating in his heart: money touches people's hearts, there is a crack in the alliance between the big house and the third house, and it will not be so easy to mend it in the future.This development is very beneficial for him to have the right to speak in the future.

Just when she was secretly happy, she suddenly heard Su Mingjiang call her name, and everyone looked at her, so she smiled and pointed at the table: "Tell me, Third Aunt, you don't have to be angry at all, just look at the table on our dinner table." What are they? Think about what is on the dinner table of the folks? You can’t be too greedy. We eat the meat and don’t even give everyone a sip of the soup. It’s Boss Zhong who made it up on his own, and he only suspects us of doing something bad, if you hold a grudge, nothing else, and light up the haystacks outside our street gate, you can cry.”

"Three girls are the ones who understand what people understand."

Su Mingliang let out a long sigh of relief.Mrs. Wang didn't say a word: In what year was it that offending people were ordered to haystacks?There are more than 100 households in Wufeng Village, and the love-hate relationship is quite complicated.

"Master is back."

"Ah."

Shen Yuanxi walked up the steps and saw that the girl in front of the door had already opened the curtain. He glanced at the other party and asked doubtfully: "It's almost winter, why are you still wearing unlined clothes?"

"It's okay, the servant girl is born strong, the wind is not strong here at the door, it's not very cold."

The little girl Mei'er tried her best to squeeze out a smile, but Shen Yuanxi shook her head and said: "Your father lost money in a bet again, pawned your jacket, right?"

Mei'er lowered her head and whispered: "Master, don't worry about the slaves, you can go in quickly, the master and wife are waiting for you."

"After dinner, let your father come to my study."

After Shen Yuanxi finished speaking, he entered the room and smiled at his parents: "Father, mother, I'm back."

After saying that, they bowed and saluted, a couple in the seat tilted their lower bodies almost imperceptibly, and seeing him look up, Tian Shifang waved and smiled and said, "Come and sit. Why did you wait until this time to come back? Did you go to the missionary again?" "

"Yes. I read the book given by Tom last night, and there are a few things I don't understand. I will go to him today."

Shen Yuanxi came to his mother and sat down, pondered: "Mother, are you too indulgent to the servants in the family? Mei'er's father is addicted to gambling and has repeatedly banned him. Can't you control him?"

Tian said with a smile: "I only take care of the affairs of the back house, what does Mei'er's father have to do with me? That's something your father and you should control, why don't you ask me?"

"That's right." Shen Yuanxi nodded, and said with a smile: "My father is obsessed with martial arts, what matters in the family? I used to be young, but now I am 17 years old, and I will be eighteen after the new year. I can't just idle around all day long. For my own responsibility, it is time to get started with family affairs."

"Yes."

Tian nodded.Shen Yuanxi looked at her complexion, and wondered: "Mother, it's rare for your son to be so sensible today. You should be happy. Why do you feel a little bit sad?"

"It's not sad, I just thought, the years are long, and in a blink of an eye, you will grow up and be able to take care of the house. After so many years... so many years, my mother is getting old."

Shen Yuanxi smiled and said: "Mother is not old, in the eyes of my son, you are in full bloom. Otherwise, you can tie my father to death? From a family like ours, who doesn't hang out in Huajie Liuxiang? Only father treats you , really loyal.”

"Nonsense." Shen Zhuo blushed and coughed: "Okay, let's eat. If you don't eat, the food will be cold."

"You, you, no matter how unrestrained your temper is, you shouldn't make fun of us."

Tian shook her head helplessly, but she saw Shen Yuanxi grinning and said: "Who let my parents spoil me, didn't they just make me lawless? Father, mother, sometimes I feel that you are too indulgent to me, so I should take care of it." I'm the."

"What do you care? You are so nice, charming, versatile in both civil and military affairs, sensible and considerate. We have burned ten lifetimes of high incense to be your parents."

"Yes! You are like this, how can you blame me for being lawless?" Shen Yuanxi spread his hands: "Okay, let's go, let's go eat."

After the family had dinner, Shen Yuanxi went back to his yard, and the couple went back to the upper room, drinking tea and chatting, Shen Zhuo said softly: "Yuanxi is a very smart child, we should be more careful, you see Didn't you get caught by your demeanor just now? If this goes on, it's inevitable that he won't be suspicious."

Tian sighed: "I'm already very careful. You don't know, I almost burst into tears when I heard his words just now. If it wasn't for that accident, what he should worry about is not just this small house?"

Shen Zhuo sighed: "The matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to think too much. The Tian family is ruthless, so it may not be comparable to the common people's leisurely life. You will often hear about a few princes. Think about it, those brothers love each other. Fighting against each other, falling on Yuanxi, even if he has the power to look down on the world, will he really be more comfortable and happy than now?"

"You're right, but I'm always unwilling. In the huge imperial city, he should be the most honorable child. If there were no accidents 16 years ago, there might not be brothers fighting in the imperial city today."

"That's your wishful thinking. With the courage of our emperor, it is inevitable that the princes will fight. That's all... Now these have nothing to do with us. I am a little curious. Why is this kid coming back today, and he is interested in solving Lao Zhang's gambling?" Addiction? He used to ignore these things."

"You have to be more respectful, what is this kid?"

Tian glared at her husband, but she saw Shen Zhuo laughing and said: "Whoever respects or disrespects, he will be our son in this life. I advise you to let go, don't always think that he is the master, this may not be right." He is good. In this world, who doesn’t want the affection of their parents? Especially Yuanxi, although he behaves like a fool and seems to be careless about everything, but in his bones he is a kind-hearted person who values ​​affection and righteousness.”

Tian had nothing to answer, turned her head after a long while and said: "Anyway, I can't get over the hurdles in my heart. If you can get through, you can do whatever you want."

"Ahem...I'm going out for a walk."

Seeing that the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence, Shen Zhuo quickly stood up, and without waiting for Tian to speak, he stepped out of the room.

The night had already covered the land, and a lantern outside the courtyard was slowly moving. Shen Zhuo was a martial arts practitioner with excellent eyesight. With the dim light of the lantern, he recognized this man as Mei'er's father—the man who feeds the horses in the house Old groom Zhang.

With a thought, Shen Zhuo went out of the courtyard, followed Lao Zhang quietly, and walked towards the courtyard where Shen Yuanxi lived.
