Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 217 Weird
Although Master Chen is tall and clumsy, he is as light as a swallow when he is showing off his talent to the ladies and young ladies of the Marquis in the main courtyard.

Kangkang and An'an watched with confusion as Master Wu swung from one end of the yard to the other, and even jumped to the roof. He could still fly in the air, and they clapped their hands happily in praise.

"Master Chen is so awesome!"

Kangkang and An An said in unison, "Grandma, mother, we want to learn martial arts from Master Chen."

Since Master Chen was hired by Duke Rong at a high price, he certainly has real skills, even if he doesn't need to show it to Mrs. Hou at this time.

It seems that Master Chen is trying to stimulate Kang Kang and An An's interest in learning martial arts. He is a capable person who knows the methods and can teach students according to their aptitude.

Before Jiang Shunian returned home at this time, Mrs. Hou's mother-in-law asked the housekeeper to arrange Master Chen in the guest room in the outer courtyard and start teaching An An and Kang Kang martial arts from tomorrow.

Jiang Shunian returned home before dinner, and there seemed nothing unusual about the family of four and Mrs. Hou having dinner in the main courtyard.

The couple took the children back to the three-bedroom courtyard and put the children to sleep before they had time to be alone.

"What happened last night?"

Jiang Shunian didn't come back all night, and Tang Bingxuan didn't go to bed until late at night. Naturally, she had to ask him questions when she saw him.

People in Kyoto must always be sensitive to the outside world, otherwise they won't know when someone is plotting against them.

It would have been fine if Jiang Shunian had not made progress in his career. Now that their family has become the center of attention, they will retreat if they don't advance.

Jiang Shunian couldn't say much, so he said vaguely: "Last night, the Holy Spirit ordered me to do some important things, which delayed my time."

Seeing Jiang Shunian like this, Tang Bingxuan knew that it was not convenient for outsiders to know, so she changed the subject and talked about the scene where the children met Master Wu today.

"I see that Master Chen is extremely talented. How could he agree to come to our home to teach such a young child?"

Jiang Shunian used to be Tang Sanye's capable subordinate. He knew that Tang Sanye had many martial arts people under his command, so he asked him for this matter.

Jiang Shunian and Mr. Tang San were doing something together last night because the matter was rather tricky.

The two of them used to be relatively compatible superiors and subordinates, but now they are both trusted by the Holy One, and they can get twice the result with half the effort when they work together.

Jiang Shunian had never seen Master Chen before and thought that Master Tang San would not trick them. He did not expect that Master Wu's abilities exceeded expectations.

"Since it was Third Uncle who introduced me here, he must be a favor. Take out two jars of the fine wine you have collected and treat Third Uncle to a drink for your husband when you have free time to thank me."

"it is good."

....
The twins are still very young, so Master Chen requires them to squat for a quarter of an hour every morning.

Children with soft bones cannot complete it all at once, so they have to take a break once a cup of tea and proceed step by step.

In the morning, the children also do some memorizing and tracing large characters. As long as the homework is completed, the children are usually allowed to play as much as they want in the afternoon.

"Is mother going out?"

Tang Bingxuan took the children to the main courtyard to look for her mother-in-law Qiao in the afternoon, but unexpectedly she was in vain. She wanted to take the children back to the third-bedroom courtyard, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to come back. Madam Hou, Mrs. Qiao, had a forced smile on her face, "Yes. What's wrong with you, mother-in-law, coming here to see me?"

Mrs. Hou went out after taking a nap and came back in only half an hour. It seemed that she had not gone too far.

"Grandma, An An and his brother want to give a gift to Master Chen, so they need to discuss it with grandma."

Kangkang and An An have been practicing martial arts with Master Chen for half a month. Master Chen looks rough but very patient. The two of them never gave up even if their legs hurt from squatting every day.

After they complete the horse squatting exercise, Master Chen will massage the muscles and bones of the two little ones, so that the children will not have leg pain that makes them unable to stand up the next day.

The children have naturally become very close to Master Chen in the past half month. Master Chen will also tell them some stories that he has encountered or heard in the world.

Whether they are helping each other out of spite of injustice or grudges, Kangkang and An'an are very fascinated and full of expectations for their future success in learning.

Having become close to Master Chen, the two young men wanted to give Master Chen a gift in person to express their dedicated teachings to Master Chen in the past half month. The children asked their mother, Tang Bingxuan, for advice on what kind of gift would be appropriate. After all, it was the children's admiration for Master Chen, and gold, silver, and jewelry were too tacky and not affectionate.

Seeing that the children attached great importance to this matter, Tang Bingxuan readily agreed. Thinking that her mother-in-law seemed to have something on her mind recently but did not want to say more, she wanted to use this matter to discuss this matter with her grandmother, Mrs. Hou, to brainstorm ideas so that her mother-in-law could relax.

Mrs. Hou's originally helpless expression finally changed into a smile when she heard that the children wanted to discuss with her what gifts to give to Master Chen.

"You are young, so don't give me anything too expensive and complicated. Just give me something you are good at and cherish. Master Chen is a good gentleman and will naturally understand your thoughts."

Kangkang and An'an's eyes lit up after listening to their grandmother's words. They couldn't wait to say goodbye to their grandmother and mother, and ran back to their yards to prepare things with smiles on their faces.

"What happened to mother recently?"

For several days, Tang Bingxuan took the children to have breakfast with her mother-in-law Qiao, but her mother-in-law was not as happy and calm as before.

Tang Bingxuan asked her once a few days ago, but her mother-in-law didn't want to say anything more to stop her. Now she has been out of energy for several days, her brows are still furrowed, and it seems that she has been thinking about it for many days and can't get rid of it.

Many days of worry and panic broke down the psychological defense of Mrs. Hou, who was always gentle and steady. She did not care about violating etiquette and avoiding others, and cried bitterly: "Xuan'er, I'm afraid something happened to your uncle and aunt."

When Tang Bingxuan heard that something serious must have happened, she sent the waiters away and sat next to her mother-in-law.

"Mom, what happened? Speak slowly." Tang Bingxuan wiped her mother-in-law's tears with a handkerchief and comforted her with a warm voice.

A few days ago, Mrs. Hou was concerned about her nephew Qiao Zhensheng's wedding preparations, so she went to the Duke Cheng's Mansion to find her sister-in-law Cai to see how she could help.

As the eldest sister of Duke Cheng and the aunt of Prince Qiao, Mrs. Hou naturally wanted to do more to help her older unmarried nephew make the wedding a success.

It was the first time I went to Duke Chengguo's Mansion. Let alone meeting my brothers and sisters, Mrs. Hou, my aunt, couldn't even get through the gate.

At first, Mrs. Hou thought that she had done something bad recently and inadvertently offended her sister-in-law Cai. Later, she thought about it carefully. Not to mention that she was not a carefree person. Even if she inadvertently offended her sister-in-law Cai on some occasion, she should not Don't let my aunt go back to her parents' home.

If this spreads out, not only will Chengguo's family be disgraced, but they will also think that Mrs. Qiao did something shameful and was abandoned by her parents' family.

So the next day, Mrs. Hou adjusted her mentality and wanted to go to the Duke Cheng's Mansion to explore the truth. No matter what she had done and was abandoned, she had to find out.

Once again, Mrs. Hou was turned away.
