Although Mr. Beigong's hair was gray, his face was very rosy, and he looked very energetic. After returning to the main courtyard from the forbidden area, he finished bathing and changing clothes, and then met the others in the main hall.
When the 'young master Beigong' got married, the old man was still in seclusion in the forbidden area. Since 'Beigong Langyue' was a fool at the time, the old master Beigong didn't pay too much attention to this matter.
However, I saw that the granddaughter-in-law from the Western Border was no worse than the young lady from aristocratic family raised in Yunling City.
"Old Master, Mr. Shui has arrived." Butler Zhu came to inform.
"Huh?" Mr. Beigong raised his eyebrows slightly, but for a moment he didn't know who Mr. Shui was.
Si Haochen said politely: "Mr. Shui is the gentleman my grandmother hired for her grandson."
"That's it." Mr. Beigong stroked his beard and said, "Invite him to the small study. I'll be here right away."
"Yes." Butler Zhu took the order and left.
Later, Mr. Beigong took his eldest son and grandson to the small study together.
Mr. Beigong entered the study, sat down at the main table, and cast a pair of sharp eyes on Mr. Shui.
Jun Che bowed to him and said, "I met Mr. Beigong when I was studying in Xiashui."
"No gift." Mr. Beigong said slowly, "As far as I know, the masters from Qingchen Mountain only teach disciples in the mountain and never come down from the mountain to serve as teachers.
Why did you come to my Beigong home, sir?"
Jun Che raised his eyebrows slightly. Before, he only thought that Mr. Beigong would investigate secretly, but he never thought that he would ask him directly.
But think about it, Mr. Beigong will never take a little-known person like him seriously.
"When I was in Qingchen Mountain, I heard about the deeds of Mr. Beigong. Not long ago, I passed through Yunling City and the old lady invited me. I came here out of curiosity and wanted to meet Mr. Beigong.
After giving lectures, I found that Mr. Beigong has a very high level of understanding. I decided to stay in my house and learn from Mr. Beigong’s teachings.”
Jun Che's evaluation of 'Master Beigong' is extremely high.
Old Master Beigong asked Mr. Shui what he was talking about recently, and also asked questions related to "Young Master Beigong", and Si Haochen answered them fluently.
The old man in Beigong was very satisfied: "Study well with me, and come to me every day when you greet your grandmother. I want to check the homework of the previous day."
"Yes." 'Young Master Beigong' nodded in agreement.
Mr. Beigong sat there calmly and calmly, but his heart was already agitated - it seemed that his father was going to personally teach Long Yue. This was great news for Mr. Fang.
At the subsequent family dinner, Mr. Beigong asked Si Haochen to sit next to him, and Mrs. Beigong also asked Mingruo to sit next to her.
The couple obviously became the most important juniors in the eyes of the old man and the old lady, making the other three wives extremely jealous.
After lunch, everyone chatted in the flower hall.
Beigong Zhenhai, the eldest son of the second concubine, also woke up at this time - he was originally raised as the heir to the Beigong family, but now that Beigong Langyue is no longer stupid, doesn't he want to compete with him as the head of the family?
Bit!
Beigong Zhenhai rolled his eyes. His 'eldest cousin' seemed to be more intelligent than before, but he was still difficult to get along with.
He had to let his grandfather know that this man had no talent or virtue and could never achieve anything.
"There is a government banquet tomorrow, and I have invited some young talents from Yunling City to have a poetry meeting." Beigong Zhenhai looked at Si Haochen, "It is most taboo to do things behind closed doors when it comes to learning, so my eldest brother is here to have a discussion with everyone.
good?"
Si Haochen felt that he was better at 'silent moments' than 'communication': "Thank you very much for your kindness. I will definitely go there if I am free."
Si Haochen's meaning is very clear - let's go play, I don't have time.
Seeing Si Haochen's polite refusal, Beigong Zhenhai felt that he was suffering from stage fright and deliberately pretended not to understand: "When the time comes, I will personally come to invite the eldest brother."
Mr. Beigong finally hoped that his son would stop being stupid, and he also wanted to make 'Beigong Langyue' shine in front of others, so he said: "Langyue, go and see it. It's in the mansion anyway. If you find it boring,
Then leave."
Mr. Beigong had even thought of a way out for his son. Even if he left, it would be because the poetry club was boring.
If someone is so easily influenced, it's not Si Haochen: "My kid still thinks it's more interesting to go to the library to read."
Mr. Beigong doesn't know what other people's sons are like. But his own son is definitely here to collect debts - before he couldn't speak, so he would silently fight against him. Now that he can speak, he fights with more vigor.
Beigong Zhenhai remained committed to it: "It happened that the poetry meeting was arranged in the corridor pavilion in front of the library. My eldest brother got tired of reading, so he came down to sit."
"Okay." Si Haochen narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the first time he met someone who dared to challenge him like this. He was really brave.
Beigong Zhenhai looked at his boss Haochen's gloomy eyes, and his back felt cold. He had no idea that he had already been recorded in the notebook by His Highness Prince Yun.
Mingruo's situation was not much better here. Several young ladies from the Beigong family gathered around her to inquire about the customs and customs of the Western Border.
Regarding those things in the Western Border, Mingruo and his senior brother had some bad discussions in the past few days.
Moreover, these ladies all spoke with contempt when talking about places outside Zhongzhou.
Ming Ruo didn't bother to argue with them. Today he finally saw what it means to be a frog in a well.
On the way back to Qingqiuyuan, Mingruo and Si Haochen were a little silent. Both husband and wife felt that it was really tiring to communicate with people who had no brains and no eyesight.
Back in the courtyard, Si Haochen raised his hand and touched Mingruo's head: "Thank you for your hard work, madam."
"Pfft, cough..." Mingruo saw Si Haochen's serious look and found it both funny and heartwarming, "Thank you for your hard work, husband."
In the past, problems that could be solved with a single "eye knife" may not be able to get the desired results now with a lot of "talk". Ming Ruo felt "aggrieved" for her husband.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the government banquet, and Ming Ruo wore a purple and silver-patterned train.
There was a banquet today and she needed to wear a full headdress. Xiuju went to the warehouse to get it, but came back empty-handed after a while.
"Young Madam, it's bad, we lost something in the warehouse." Xiuju's voice was trembling as he spoke.
"What's missing?" Ming Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly. Even Li Yin's broken dowry would be remembered by others?
Ever since the young lady asked Xiuju to take charge of the money and the warehouse, she knew every money account and everything in the warehouse: "I lost a pair of agate heads and faces, and a scroll of paintings painted by the young master."
"I understand." Mingruo nodded.
"Young Madam, what should we do? We can't just let it go!" Xiu Ju was so anxious that she couldn't be anxious at all.
"Pretend not to notice for now. The little thief will definitely take action when we don't respond." Ming Ruo stroked her bun, "As the saying goes, if you take a thief, you have to take the stolen goods."
