There is no man who doesn't love horses, especially the Tai family's horse, which is so majestic that Manager Min always feels itchy every time he sees it.
But he never thought of taking someone's beloved away, because... even if he took it away, the horse would be difficult to control.
Because he didn't brush the bristles hard enough, he got his lips turned up three times and his eyes rolled twice!
Fortunately, Tai Jizu knew Ma Zuzong's temper very well and had already given him an old piece of clothing. Otherwise, the long gown he was wearing would be too ugly to look at...
Zhuzhu was riding on the horse and saw Manager Min in such a mess that she laughed out loud.
The sun was shining on the fat girl's head, making her whole body glow with golden light!
When the rich aroma wafted from the kitchen, it was finally time to eat the late lunch.
Snow-white rice, golden hen stewed with ginseng roots, dates and wolfberries, a big bowl of braised pork, Mapo braised tofu, twice-cooked pork, deep-fried river shrimp, plus braised four-happiness meatballs, a combination of meat and vegetables, filling the table.
The old man, Mr. Tai San, Manager Min, the three brothers Tai Jizu, and Tai Yongan and Tai Yongning sat in the main hall.
Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang took Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue to the kang table in the house and had a simple meal. After all, there was still work to do in the backyard. The women in the village were looking forward to making more money, and some of them did not go home for lunch. They just took a piece of bread to eat and continued to knit sweaters.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were a little depressed. At this moment, they really wanted to grow up quickly so that they could sit at the table and eat with the adults.
Liu Dongniang took out a ceramic bowl from under the table. There were big meatballs hidden in the bowl. She gave half to each of them. The two boys immediately forgot everything and took a big bite. They were completely intoxicated by the delicious taste!
What growing up?
Let’s talk about it later!
Now that you have grown up, you are an adult, and you will no longer have the privilege of having special meals prepared for you!
Of course, they selectively ignored Zhuzhu. This fat girl who was loved by the whole family was destined to be spoiled until she was old.
At this moment, she was sitting between the old man and Manager Min, holding a large chicken leg and chewing it until her little mouth was greasy and she shouted in a baby voice, "It smells so good!"
The old man, Mr. Tai San, and Manager Min all laughed when they heard it, and clinked their glasses together.
"Come, have a sip, so that the children can have chicken legs every meal in the future!"
"Yes, you must drink it!"
“Life is getting better and better!”
Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong seldom drank alcohol, but Tai Jiye was drooling with greed. Unfortunately, as a junior, he could not drink easily in front of his elders, otherwise he would be laughed at if he got drunk and lost the rules.
Tai Yongning, on the other hand, was eating absent-mindedly, and looked drunk even though he didn't drink any alcohol.
Many nights, when he couldn't sleep, he hoped that one day he could recover and go to school.
Just when he was about to despair, he thought about learning a skill so that he could at least support himself.
Unexpectedly, his leg was reattached and now the husband has been found!
It feels like a dream!
Zhuzhu was full. Seeing that her second brother across from her almost put the soup into his nose, she jumped to the ground, ran over and pulled her second brother's hand.
"Brother, let's go play by the river!"
Tai Yongning came back to his senses, and quickly took his sister to greet the elders, cleared away the bowls and chopsticks they had used for eating, and then retreated.
Tai Jizu was also full, so they retreated together, leading the big black horse and following behind his son and daughter.
The river water is cool and the water plants are lush. The wind blows, full of fresh air!
Tai Yongning sat on a big rock and soon his mind became completely clear.
He turned his head to look at An Jing accompanying his sister, and his heart felt so warm that it seemed to melt.
"Thank you Zhuzhu, my second brother is fine. I'm just so happy!"
Zhuzhu hugged her brother's arm, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled...
The next morning, the old man took the dried rabbit and a basket of pheasant eggs from home and went directly to the city to visit the Wu family.
In order to make it easier for him to move around in the future, Tai Jiye also happily accompanied his father.
At noon, the father and son came back, both with rosy faces.
"It's done!" The old man didn't even bother to drink a sip of water when he entered the house. He pulled Yongning's hand and his eyes were red. "Yongning, you have to go to school! Master Wu is a juren, he is very talented! You have a good teacher, and your future will not be a worry!"
Tai Yongning limped and quickly helped his grandfather sit down.
Zhuzhu also held the tea and walked it to her grandfather's hand with three steps. The old man took it and drank it in one gulp, then breathed a sigh of relief!
At this moment, Yang Lihua, Tai Jizu and others also gathered together.
Tai Jiye happily boasted to everyone, "Brother and sister-in-law, you don't know. Master Wu is a juren, but not just any juren. His father is a third-rank official in Kyoto, and his teacher is also a university scholar.
"Master Wu was a scholar in his teens and a juren in his twenties, a true genius. If he hadn't been in poor health and had come to us seeking medical treatment, he really wouldn't have been encountered by our family.
"Our Yongning is so lucky. After so many delays, he finally went to school and met such a good teacher!"
Yang Lihua was delighted to hear this and quickly asked, "Master Wu's family isn't here. Will he be back soon?"
"No, no!" Tai Jiye waved his hand and replied, "Master Wu wants to stay here to recuperate, at least for a year. And today, it's not just our family that came to visit. There are more than a dozen families who want to send their children to study here with Master Wu.
"Master Wu examined them one by one, and in the end only kept three, one of whom was the young master of the Song family who sent gifts to our family. Including our Yongning, Master Wu only accepted four disciples.
"He said too many people would cause confusion, and he doesn't have that much energy. These four disciples, by the time he leaves here, will definitely pass the exam and become Tongsheng students!"
