The eldest brother and the second brother could only laugh and say yes again and again, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest.
After holding Cheng Chubi's hand and chatting for a while, my mother asked in a low voice.
"Sanlang, during this period of time you have been with Huang Dai, have you done any follow-up work on "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"Ah..." A small drop of cold sweat began to break out from Cheng Chubi's forehead.
"Oh... I have secretly copied some more, but this time I came in too hasty with the emperor's order.
Cheng Fa and Cheng Da must have forgotten to pack the children's things when they were packing them."
"Really?" Mother Cui's eyes, which had been habitually squinted, were now squinting even tighter.
However, Cheng Chubi was almost unable to resist his mother's sharp eyes like an X-ray machine, and was about to tell the truth.
Mother Cui then spoke slowly. "Since you forgot to bring it, it's okay. When you finish your work here and come back, you can have someone take it to mother when you have time, you know?"
"This is no small matter. It is a major matter related to the inheritance of poetry and calligraphy of our Cheng family. We cannot slack off..."
Cheng Chubi could only bow his head and listen in front of his bookish mother, and made a promise. Only then did his mother Cui let go of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" contentedly.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "I heard from the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, that the little baby named Deng Chengxin is also a poor child.
Since you have accepted him as your disciple, you must teach him strictly so that he can flourish..."
"Mom, he's just a schoolboy, and he hasn't passed the assessment period set for him yet." Cheng Chubi was really not a bad guy, but he felt that he needed to explain clearly.
Hearing this, her mother Cui couldn't help but raise her hand and lightly touch the bridge of Saburo's handsome nose and said with a smile.
"Mom knows, you kid, well, have a good chat with your two brothers. Mom still has to go back and read."
The three brothers respectfully sent their mother out of the front hall, and watched her walking slowly accompanied by the maid.
It seemed that after the strong and suffocating bookish smell disappeared, the three rough old men got a chance to breathe air.
Letting out a breath of relief, the two brothers rushed to the table again and began their heroic life of eating meat in big bowls and drinking wine in large bowls.

At this moment, the fat and strong Uncle Fu took the lead, while Deng Chengxin followed obediently behind him.
Looking at Duke Lu's Mansion with curiosity on his face, even though he had been staying in Taile Department, he could still hear various rumors about General Cheng.
Even before, during the Chinese New Year, my godfather even bought a family portrait of General Cheng, which is said to be able to ward off evil spirits and control the house, and put it on the door.
Deng Chengxin still remembered the first time he saw seven ferocious figures, one large and six small, with fleshy faces, big bronze eyes, hairy beards, and strange sharp blades.
It can really scare people to the point of trembling in their hearts, and it can very well control the house and ward off evil spirits.
I just didn't expect that after meeting the Third Young Master, I would discover for the first time that there was such a kind-hearted person in the old Cheng family.
After entering Duke Lu's Mansion today, all the people walking past were fat and strong men with tough faces, which really matched what I had imagined.
Especially after seeing the two elder brothers of the young master, Deng Chengxin was shocked to realize that the painter who painted the family portrait of General Cheng who exorcised evil spirits from the house must be a master.
Otherwise, how could it be so vivid? It’s just that Deng Chengxin buried these words in his heart very seriously and would not dare to reveal a single word.
At this time, after following the butler Cheng Fu into a courtyard, the alluring fragrance immediately began to hit his nostrils.
Then he saw Cheng Fu, the butler who had led him over, shouting loudly at a middle-aged man who looked lean but exuded a powerful aura standing in the yard.
"...Brother, if you have anything delicious, hurry up and give it to this little kid. He is the younger brother of my two little kids. His surname is Deng and his name is Xinxin."
"Brother Fu is here. He turns out to be the third young master's new disciple. Haha, I'm Cheng Ji. If you call me Uncle Ji instead, I'm here."
"What are you doing there in a daze? Hurry up and serve a meal to the third young master's new disciple. You are lucky today. There happens to be braised pork at home today. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
"Thank you, Uncle Ji." Deng Chengxin quickly thanked him and was quickly escorted to a room where many servants of the Cheng family were having dinner.
After a short while, Deng Chengxin found two more big cakes, a bowl of porridge, a bowl of braised pork, and two vegetarian dishes in front of him.
The smell of braised pork immediately brought out Deng Chengxin's greedy mind.
I picked up a trembling piece of braised pork with my chopsticks and put it in my mouth. The taste melted in my mouth and was so fragrant that it made my tongue taste buds explode.
It was difficult for Deng Zhengxin to remain reserved, and he started to wolf down the food in disbelief.
Seeing the pity on Uncle Ji's face, he secretly muttered to Uncle Fu next to him.
"This child must have been picked up outside by a kind-hearted gentleman. It looks like he has never eaten meat in his life."
Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, glared at Uncle Ji unhappily. "Young lady, that's nonsense. This kid's father is a musician from the Taiyue Department of Taichang Temple."
"Because his father suffered from a gallstone emergency, our Third Young Master used his wonderful medical skills to cure his father. He admired our Third Young Master's medical skills and specially visited the third Young Master's door."
"Besides, how could your boy's taste be any better than this boy's when he tasted the braised pork cooked by Young Master for the first time?"
Uncle Ji chuckled and scratched his scalp. "That's right, why did the third young master come back? Shouldn't he be accompanying the prince at Lishan Tangquan Palace?"
"Hehehehe..." Upon hearing this question, the housekeeper Fu Shu suddenly laughed a few times, then lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious.
"The Third Young Master specifically told me not to spread rumors, but I will tell you that the Third Young Master returned to Chang'an this time only on His Majesty's orders."
"I came here specially to diagnose and treat the hidden hemorrhoids of His Majesty the King of Wei, who is very fat."
"What? At such a young age, His Highness the King of Wei may not even be sixteen yet, but he even has hemorrhoids?"
"Shh, please keep your voice down. After all, it is the prince's hidden illness. It would be bad if it spread from you and me."
"I understand, I understand, tsk tsk tsk, this is really a rare anecdote. At such a young age, he can suffer from hemorrhoids, and he has to ask the third son of our family to take action..."
Two gossipy old men from the old Cheng family, in front of a group of diners who were eating and drinking, began to gossip about a certain young prince's hidden troubles.
The conversation was so drooling that at this moment, the steward Cheng Ping finally rushed back to the mansion and rushed over to look for food.
He was pulled back by Uncle Ji again, and he muttered in a low voice with great joy. "Brother, let me tell you a piece of gossip, hehehehe..."
