Chapter 230 Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight
Huo Xi and the others returned to the boat and told Huo Nian about choosing a book school. Yang and Huo Erhuai nodded their heads and said it was Boya Book School.
Whatever Huo Nian likes, this couple can do it for them.
I'm just worried that he will be bullied because he is so young and goes to private school.
I talked to Huo Xi several times, saying that I would send Nian'er to a book school when he was older, but Huo Xi didn't agree. If he were in Zhang's house, Huo Nian would have been exposed to books when he was three years old.
This time when Huo Nian said that the lunch at Boya Book School was delicious, the couple immediately clapped their hands in agreement.
I was worried that he would stay in the book school all day, that he would not be able to stay, and that he would not be able to eat well in the book school. It was rare that he said that the lunch was delicious, so he agreed to let him go to Boya Book School.
Huo Xi thought about it. For such an old child, he was worried that he would not be able to stay. It was rare for him to like someone. Maybe with this like, he could stay in the private school for a long time.
Yang hadn't seen Huo Nian for a day, and she hugged him and refused to let him go. The mother and son sat on the deck, kissed each other, and talked small talk. Mainly because they heard Huo Nian talk about choosing a private school, and seeing that he didn't rebel, she was eager to give it a try.
, Yang was half relieved.
Yang Fu was rowing a boat, while Huo Xi watched Huo Erhuai sorting out his fishing nets.
"Dad, why did you buy so much fishing gear?"
"Didn't we give all our fishing gear to the Mu family last time? Dad bought new ones in the past two days."
Huo Nian also ran over: "There are shrimp and crab pots! Then I will set up the cages with dad at night."
Huo Erhuai responded with a smile: "Okay, Dad and Nian'er will put the cages in. If you get shrimps and crabs tomorrow, let your mother cook them for us, Nian'er."
"Yeah, daddy is the best!"
Pixiao Zihou came behind Huo Erhuai, hugged his neck, lifted his legs off the ground, and swayed on his back.
Huo Erhuai sat on the deck, his body rising and falling, rocking him back and forth, and the father and son laughed happily.
Yang couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.
Huo Xi smiled and looked at it for a while, then took out a bundle from the luggage he brought back and handed it to Yang: "A thank you gift from the Mu family."
"Why are you taking someone else's gift of thanks?" Yang looked at the big bundle and didn't dare to reach out.
"It's okay, Mom, these things are just ordinary for his family. You see, the fishing gear my father bought cost a lot of money. Of course, his family has to compensate us. He emptied all the tung oil and wine on our boat.
, you can’t compensate us? Mom and dad just keep it in peace."
Yang and Huo Erhuai looked at each other and nodded: "That's right. Your father spent money to buy these fishing gears, and his flesh aches."
He happily opened the bag and looked at the gift.
In the baggage were some food, some cloth, a pair of the four treasures of the study, and a pair of jewelry, glossy gold jewelry.
Yang was so frightened that her hands stopped: "What's the matter? Are you giving me jewelry?"
"Kan Er said it was given to me by the princess. Please keep it safely, mother."
"The princess gave it to me?" Ms. Yang already knew the identity of the other party, and the family kept it secret and did not tell anyone else. They only thought that day was a dream.
It was just a casual thing, but I didn't expect that the other party actually gave me a gift.
"Is this really acceptable?"
"Mom, don't worry, just keep it. Just treat it as hush money. Let's just pretend it didn't happen and forget about it in the future."
Yang smiled and nodded: "Okay, your father and I are both clam shells that cannot be pried open. Only our family knows about it and we will not tell outsiders."
Huo Xi looked at Huo Nian again. Huo Nian also pursed his lips tightly and made a sudden closing gesture with his hand: "Sister, I am also a river clam that cannot be pried open."
Huo Xizhi knew that he was sensible and rubbed his head: "Well, our Nian'er is the best behaved. Sister believes in Nian'er. These four treasures of the study were given to you. You can't use them now, so let me help you keep them first."
"Is it for me?" Huo Nian happily touched it one by one and pushed it to Yang: "Mom, help Nian'er keep it first, and give it to Nian'er later."
"Okay, Mom will help us Nian'er collect these pieces of cloth. Mom will make some gowns for Nian'er to wear in school."
Huo Nian happily agreed: "Okay. I will also make it for my mother, my father, my sister and my uncle."
"Okay, let's do it as a family."
Yang looked at the things one by one and put them into the cabin. When she came out, she discussed with Huo Xi how to make some coconut food.
Huo Nian had just accepted the gift and stopped protecting his food. His sister took most of his coconuts, but he didn't feel bad and continued to help.
In the evening, the family also made a dinner using coconut and ate many pastries made of coconut. Pi Xiaozi was very satisfied.
The next day, Huo Xi packed the coconut food into two large food boxes and handed them to Kan Er.
"So much?" Two big food boxes.
"My mother said thank you for the gift from your family. Thinking that there are more people in your family now, she made more. There are coconut shredded glutinous rice rolls, coconut shredded glutinous rice cakes, coconut shredded red bean rolls, coconut shredded glutinous rice balls, and coconut rice.
There are also some snacks made with coconut meat, and these bamboo tubes contain coconut milk cold drinks, for your young master, you and Li Yi."
"And ours?"
Kan Er thought in his heart: "Thank you so much, Miss Huo, I will give it to my young master right now."
"Your young master is not going to the Imperial College today?"
"Today Duke Dingguo and his wife came to visit us. Our young master is at home today."
"Oh, then I won't keep you."
Kan Er thanked him and left with his things.
In Mu's Mansion, Mrs. Geng returned to the capital to stay for a long time. As her daughter, Mrs. Dingguo naturally wanted to visit her.
Although Mrs. Dingguo was born to Feng, the first wife of the first generation Marquis, her mother passed away when Xu Mu was still very young. The old Marquis married Geng and was kind to her in raising her.
.
When I found out that Mrs. Tai had returned to Beijing, I naturally wanted to bring my whole family to see her.
Several women were talking in the hall, and cousins Mu Yan and Duke Ding were talking in Mu Yan's study.
"I heard that you encountered water thieves on your way back?" Xu Jingchang, Duke of Dingguo, looked at Mu Yan.
Mu Yan glanced at him, lowered his eyes, and said for a long time: "More than a dozen of us died that night. We had maids, servants, and guards."
Xu Jingchang clicked his tongue: "Are the water thieves so rampant now? Not only do they seek wealth, but they also kill people?"
After he finished speaking, he realized what he was doing and straightened up his upper body: "You mean you're not a water thief?" His eyes widened.
Mu Yan's mouth was sarcastic, and his words were full of forbearance: "I told your majesty that he was a water thief. The princess also told the queen."
After a long while, Xu Jingchang murmured: "Tell Your Majesty that it was a water thief? Could it be that they did it over there?"
After seeing no answer from Mu Yan for a long time, he sighed and looked at him with a look of pity.
"Don't worry, Brother Bin, I'm here to help you. Your Majesty is pressing ahead with your second uncle's request to be crowned Crown Prince. He probably doesn't want the title to fall into the hands of the Yunnan Jun family."
Your Majesty does not want the title to fall into the hands of the Jun family, but he is not necessarily happy to see the title fall into his hands.
The best thing is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watching them both lose.
