Everyone turned around quickly and saw Gu Changting standing behind him with a smile on his face, asking the woman, "What's going on? There was a commotion in the house."

The mother-in-law explained the matter again, and Gu Changting nodded and said: "Aunt Xin's suggestion is good. Let's replace them all with iron poles. We don't have any in the warehouse, so I went to get some. These wooden poles are too dangerous."

Mr. Liao hurriedly said: "There are many places that use iron poles in the house every year, why aren't there any? Just open the warehouse and get them."

Aunt Gu looked at Gu Changting and laughed softly: "Your Majesty, I am ignorant, so I ask you to tell me that there really is a beast that eats iron? Then...then does it have a belly made of iron? Otherwise, how could it be subdued?

Woolen cloth?"

Gu Changting said with a smile: "How can there be a belly made of iron? The black and white beast eats bamboo, but some villagers often see them coming down the mountain and go to the kitchen to eat iron pots. This is where the name of the iron-eating beast comes from.

."

Xin Nian smiled and said: "This is really a huge world, full of wonders. It's a pity that Sichuan is thousands of miles away, so we don't have the chance, otherwise we would like to see what this iron-eating beast looks like."

"It looks very good. Because it is born like a bear and feeds on bamboo, it is often called Bamboo Bear. I am afraid that you will not be able to move even if you see it. Especially its cubs are very smart and cute. I remember the previous

A pair of bamboo bears were presented as tribute in Shuzhong..."

A few people stood in the yard chatting for a while, until another thunder rang, and Xin Nianfang said: "It's going to rain, so the prince might as well go in, and we should hurry back to each courtyard to avoid getting wet by the rain."

"Exactly, you go quickly."

Gu Changting nodded, and Liao and others said goodbye and left.

When they reached a fork in the road, Aunt Gu said to Xin Nian: "I won't go to your place to talk. Tomorrow the tribe school starts, so I have to go back and see if Brother Chen has packed up."

"Okay." Xin Nian nodded, thought for a while and then said: "Sister, don't just force brother Chen to study, he will be the number one scholar in 360 lines, not to mention he is the young master of the palace, are you afraid that he will have no future?

"

Aunt Gu smiled bitterly and said: "How could I not know that he is not that material? There are countless people who are inferior in everything but good at studying. The prince values ​​​​him, how can I not urge him to work hard."

"There are few people who are both civilized and martial arts. The prince values ​​the children in the clan studying and practicing martial arts. Brother Chen is very good in this aspect, and he can be regarded as inheriting his father's legacy. My sister allowed him to let go of his studies, and he may not be as good as him in the future.

The other disciples are inferior."

Aunt Gu sighed: "It really can't be done, so this is the only way."

The two of them parted ways. Xin Nian looked at the sky. He was afraid that the rain would not come down for a while, so he slowed down and browsed the spring scenery on the path. Suddenly he saw a few servants in the distance carrying a bundle of iron poles towards Concubine Liao's courtyard. She

He raised his eyebrows slightly, stood there and watched these people go, then turned around and went back to Qingliangyuan.

*******************

"Auntie, listen, the sound of rain is getting louder and louder. It looks like it's going to rain all night."

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, he heard another burst of thunder rolling outside. Xin Nian stood up and said softly: "I'm going to see the children. I haven't seen such a big thunder in the past two years. I don't know how well they slept."

Is it safe?"

Li Zhi hurriedly took an umbrella, and Xin Nian smiled and said, "Just walk along the veranda, no need to hold an umbrella."

"The wind was so strong that the rain drifted in, and the floor of the corridor was wet."

Lychee said, finally opening the umbrella and blocking Xin Nian's side. The master and the servant walked along the corridor to the wing. They first stood outside Gu Yufeng's door. When they heard soft voices inside, Xin Nian pushed away.

As he walked in, he asked, "Yuzhu, brother Feng is afraid of thunder?"

"Why is Si Niang here?"

Gu Yufeng's voice sounded, and soon Yuzhu lit a candle, stood up and said, "Aunt Xin, why are you here?"

"There will be lightning and thunder tonight. I came to see the children. What's wrong? Brother Feng is afraid of thunder, so he can't sleep?"

"No, I'm not afraid of thunder and lightning." Gu Yufeng smiled slightly: "It's just that I just finished reading, turned off the lights and talked to Sister Yuzhu for a while, and I'm going to sleep now."

"That's it." Xin Nian smiled and touched his head: "Go to bed early, I have to go to clan school tomorrow morning."

"Yes, I understand. Si Niang, please go to bed early. Don't worry about me."

Xin Nian nodded, turned around and went out. Here Yuzhu whispered: "The third young master is smart and chose Qingliangyuan to live in. Aunt Xin is really a very good person. Even if she is alive, she is nothing more than this."

Gu Yufeng nodded: "Dad said earlier that Siniang is a chivalrous woman with a lot of ideas and old-fashioned ideas. Now it seems that Siniang is even better than him."

Yuzhu smiled and said: "Who says it's not the case? Chivalrous women are not a good word among the nobility in the capital. I still think Aunt Xin is powerful when she should be powerful, but when she should be gentle, she is more considerate and delicate than anyone else. She is really a watery girl.

The same woman, no wonder the prince likes her."

It was difficult for Gu Yufeng to continue what he said, so he coughed and got into bed: "Okay, go to sleep. Don't forget to cover yourself with the quilt at night. It's rainy and cold."

Yuzhu stood up with a smile: "I know, I still want the young master to take care of me. The longer I live, the more I can go back."

After saying that, he came to the door and listened for a while. He heard the sound of footsteps wearing wooden clogs outside the door, approaching from far away, and then gradually going away. Then he knew that it was Xin Niantan who had finished watching Liu Zai and Yaya.

It was time to go back to the room. So Fang came to the bed to undress and rest.

"Both the young master and the girls slept peacefully. Auntie can finally sleep peacefully."

Lychee put away her umbrella and heard another huge burst of thunder rolling outside. She couldn't help shrinking her shoulders and said: "It was such a loud thunder that it scared me."

As she spoke, she turned around and saw Xin Nian still standing by the door. She was about to speak when she suddenly saw a blue electric sparkle somewhere in the courtyard, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night. She couldn't help but be startled and kept saying:

: "Auntie, look, what is that?"

"It's nothing, it was probably caused by thunder."

Xin Nian turned around with a calm expression. She had just witnessed a bolt of lightning falling, and it happened to land in the large water tank in the courtyard. It immediately exploded the water tank, causing a crackling water-blue electric fire.

"On such a rainy night, I'm afraid that little devil won't come, right? Your Majesty will be sitting in the concubine's courtyard for nothing tonight."

The blue electric fire disappeared quickly. Lychee didn't take it to heart and helped Xin Nian take off his coat, muttering something in a low voice.

Xin Nian smiled: "Who says it's not the case? Your Majesty wants to have a long experience. I think his wish will be in vain."

Lychee also smiled and said: "If you ask me, if your prince wants to gain experience, he might as well come to our place. I have never seen that blue spark just now. Who knows if it is haunted?"

"It's fine, what's going on? And I'm not afraid of ghosts, and I've never done anything wrong."
