Xue Shao was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with him. He just pulled Zheng Yu behind him and said, "My mother asked for leave today. I will go in the afternoon."

"Why did you ask for leave?" Xue Mian noticed Zheng Yu and asked, "Who is he?"

Zheng Yu said, "My name is Zheng Yu."

"Oh, you are Zheng Yu." Xue Mian had no idea how many times Xue Shao had mentioned him, so he asked, "What are you going to play? Can you take me with you?" Before

Xue Shao could say anything, the nurse next to him said, "Third Master, you still have to go to the study for class. It's already late, and if you don't go, the teacher will be angry."

Xue Mian frowned and scolded, "If Xue Shao doesn't go to class, I don't want to go to class either. Go and ask for leave for me!"

Princess Guihe didn't say anything, so how could the nurse, a servant, dare to take over the job? She only said, "Third Young Master, please don't make things difficult for me. You'd better go back to the study quickly. If the princess finds out, she will be unhappy again."

Princess Guihe had been ill for almost a month in the first month of the year, and Xue Mian had been worried about her for a long time. Thinking that he could not let her worry anymore, Xue Mian nodded reluctantly and said, "I understand." He turned to Xue Shao and said, "Then I will go to Haoye Hall to find you after school at noon."

Xue Shao was afraid that his bullying nature would not change and he would bully Zheng Yu again, so he just responded casually and took Zheng Yu away quickly.

After they walked away, Zheng Yu asked, "A Shao, who was that just now?"

Xue Shao said, "It's my uncle's child, younger than me, and my cousin."

Zheng Yu smiled and said, "So you usually play with him at home? When I come, is it not good for you to ignore him?" Like him, when he had a friend like Xue Shao, he ignored Erbao, and only realized it after he cried and told him about it.

Xue Shao said in embarrassment, "His personality... is not very good. Anyway, I usually don't argue with him. I was worried that you were bullied by him."

Zheng Yu patted his chest and said, "How could it be, I am the oldest brother, I will give in to her."

The two chatted and laughed and went to Haoye Hall. Zheng Xiu was also waiting for Zheng Yu.

"Sister!" Zheng Yu called her happily when he saw her.

"Hey!" Zheng Xiu also responded with a smile, "Ayu is here, come and sit next to sister."

Zheng Yu then leaned to his side as he did before, and Zheng Xiu asked him again: "Have you had breakfast? Are you hungry?"

"I have, but I didn't eat much."

"Is it because you are not used to the taste of the capital?"

Zheng Yu tilted his head and smiled: "No, when I had breakfast, I was busy telling dad that I was coming to see sister, so I ate less."

Zheng Xiu smiled and tapped his nose, "You are the same as A Shao, he was just thinking about picking you up, and he rushed out after a few bites of breakfast." Then he asked Bai Zhu to go to the small kitchen to prepare cheese and cakes.

Zheng Yu looked around the room and asked, "Where is my brother-in-law?"

"Your brother-in-law is on duty and won't be back until dark."

Zheng Yu nodded, stood up in front of Zheng Xiu, and said happily, "Sister, do you think I've grown taller?"

Zheng Xiu also stood up and compared herself. Zheng Yu had indeed grown a lot taller. "Our A Yu has really grown up."

Zheng Yu stood next to Xue Shao and compared himself. His eyebrows drooped again. "I'm still not as tall as A Shao." He thought that since he had grown so much taller in the past six months, he would definitely be able to surpass A Shao.

Zheng Yu couldn't help but laugh, "You've grown taller, and A Shao must be growing taller too."

Zheng Yu rubbed his nose and smiled, "Yes." Zheng

Xiu asked him if he had said hello to his father before he left.

Zheng Yu said, "Dad had breakfast and left early in the morning. He said he was going to see his old friends."

Old friends? Zheng Xiu couldn't help but think of Xue Zhi asking her father last night if he planned to take the imperial examination again. It seems that her father has already thought about it. As

he said this, Bai Zhu came over from the small kitchen with breakfast.

Cheese is made from the milk of cows and sheep, a bit like modern fresh milk, but thicker than fresh milk. It is sprinkled with raisins and almonds, rich in nutrients, delicious and tasty. But Xue Shao doesn't like it.

Zheng Yu was born in Jiangbei, which is considered male compared to the capital, and his taste is sweeter. For him, cheese is very delicious. He ate several pieces of cakes with the hot cheese.

Xue Shao saw that he was eating with relish, so he also asked for half a bowl and ate it all.

After eating, Zheng Yu became more energetic and opened up his mouth, telling Zheng Xiu and Xue Shao everything that happened in the past six months. He was the best in the school and won several compliments from the teacher, and Feng Yuan was reluctant to let him go when he heard that he was coming to the capital, and made an appointment with him to come and play with him when he returned home to the capital... These were all trivial matters in life, but Zheng Xiu listened with relish.

"When grandpa and grandma heard that we were coming, they wanted to sew two sets of clothes for you, but then they thought that the fabrics at home would not be suitable for your sister to wear now, so they gave up."

Zheng Xiu was still a little worried about grandpa and grandma, "I don't know if grandpa and grandma are living well at my second uncle's house now."

Zheng Yu was as confident as Zheng Ren, "It must be good, with Sister Xian here. She is very powerful now. What family did my second aunt take a fancy to before? Tell her. She insisted on not getting married, and said that if she was forced again, she would tie her hair up and go to the mountains to become a nun. Second aunt was so noisy that she almost tore down the house. Sister Xian also came to live in our house for a while and took good care of grandma and us. Later, Second aunt had no choice but to be scolded by Second uncle, and came to give Sister Xian gifts and apologize, and then took her back. "

Zheng Xiu listened and nodded repeatedly in appreciation. Earlier, she was worried that after Zheng Xian woke up, she would be led astray by Second aunt again. From her brother's description, she has grown up to be very independent, and now she really should have the final say in the second house.

After talking for a long time, Zheng Xiu saw that the two children were getting restless, so she said, "Go play for a while, don't stay in front of me."

The two children responded happily and went to Xue Shao's room hand in hand.

Xue Shao had collected a lot of small things during this period of time. He gave some to Zheng Yu and kept a lot for himself, such as bamboo dragonflies and revolving lanterns. There were so many that he couldn't count them. Zheng Yu found everything new and played with them. An hour or so passed quickly.

Xue Mian couldn't stay in the front any longer. Before lunch, he pretended that he felt uncomfortable in his stomach and wanted to finish the class early.

The teacher didn't seem to notice it, but he saw that it was time for lunch in another quarter of an hour. Xue Mian was always a headache, so he just let him go. Xue Mian

held his stomach and left the study. He didn't go back to Changfeng Garden, but trotted towards Haoye Hall.

When Nainian saw this, she immediately asked the maid to go back to Changfeng Garden to report the news, and she followed quickly with her people.

Xue Mian ran to Haoye Hall and was stopped outside by the maids. He was anxious to find Xue Mian and Zheng Yu to play, and he was noisy and noisy outside.

Zheng Xiu heard the noise and went out to see.

When Xue Mian saw him, he immediately asked loudly: "Auntie, where is Xue Shao? And Zheng Yu?"

Zheng Xiu had a headache again, but she thought that she couldn't stop the children from getting along, so she said: "They are in Shao's room."

Xue Mian said "Oh", turned around and went to the room where Xue Shao lived.

Xue Shao was studying a jade slingshot with Zheng Yu. Although slingshots are common, it is rare to see one made of jasper and with a pull rope made of ox tendon. Especially now that cattle are the primary productive force, few households kill cattle. It is really difficult for ordinary people to find a slingshot made of ox tendon.

Zheng Yu had never touched a slingshot with such a strong elasticity, so he was eager to try it out.
