Even though Su Ergou is fourteen years old and seems to have passed the age of being clingy, he is actually still a baby at heart and he likes to be with his sister.
"Sister, here are the three pancakes left today!"
He couldn't bear to eat it and wanted to save it for his sister, even though his sister had no shortage of food.
"You eat." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Ergou took a bite of the biscuit and said, "Are you still losing weight? I don't think you are fat anymore."
Compared to two months ago, Su Xiaoxiao has lost a lot of weight, but she is still a little fat boy.
Su Ergou has a built-in younger brother filter.
It’s not in vain that I love this younger brother.
As they were talking, the two arrived at the back door of the academy.
Su Ergou seemed to be suddenly stimulated by something, and stuffed the last two pancakes into his mouth with a grunt.
Then, with his mouth full of foam, he said, "No more cake!"
Robbed a lonely old man: "..."
The weather is nice today, and Dean Shen takes Zhou Xing to dry books in the yard.
Zhou Xing first saw the figures at the door and hurriedly said to Dean Shen, "Master, Miss Su and Brother Su are here."
Dean Shen handed the book in his hand to Zhou Xing and asked him to continue drying it.
The brother and sister walked up to greet Dean Shen. Dean Shen and Su Xiaoxiao went into the upper room to talk. Su Ergou was curious about what Zhou Xing was doing, so he squatted down to bask in the sun with him.
Others show off their books, but he shows off himself.
In the study, Dean Shen asked the servants to serve tea to Su Xiaoxiao and said politely: "I heard that you came to see me, but I was not here. I went to give lectures in another academy."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I went to the city a few days ago, and wanted to ask the dean if he had anything to bring to Shen Chuan."
Thinking of his son, a hint of longing emerged in Dean Shen's eyes. No matter how strict he was to Shen Chuan, he was still his own flesh and blood, and everything he did was for Shen Chuan's future.
"Miss Su is thoughtful. Is he... okay in the capital city?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, when I first met him, I didn't think he was in a very good condition."
Dean Shen's heart ached.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, "But when I saw him again this time, I could clearly see that he was in a very different state. Dean Shen, you have a very capable son. Your decision to send him to the Fucheng Academy was the right one."
Allowing Shen Chuan to become stronger in an unfamiliar environment may be the real purpose of Dean Shen sending him to the provincial capital.
"This kid..." Dean Shen rarely showed a relieved smile.
Su Xiaoxiao took out a letter: "This is the letter Shen Chuan asked me to bring to you."
Dean Shen took the letter seemingly calmly but actually excitedly.
Su Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "President Shen, take your time. I'm leaving first."
Dean Shen sincerely tried to persuade her to stay: "Miss Su, please have a simple meal before leaving."
Su Xiaoxiao declined politely: "No, the kids are still waiting at home. If I go back too late, they will make a fuss."
Dean Shen heard from his son that Miss Su was already a mother of three children. It was incredible. She was still so young.
When Su Xiaoxiao came out of the study, she saw Su Ergou talking to Changping.
I don’t know what Su Ergou said, but Changping was so amused that he burst into laughter.
Halfway through his laugh, he saw Su Xiaoxiao.
He stopped smiling in a second: "I'm leaving now, we'll talk next time."
After saying that, he snorted coldly and walked away with his nose turned up to the sky.
Changping is here, Master Xiang and Jingyi should have returned to the academy as well.
Just as I was thinking about it, a servant came over pushing a wheelchair.
Sitting in the wheelchair was a square-faced man named Wu Mu.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled with gloating: "Isn't this Lord Wu Mu? Oh, why is your leg lame?"
Wu Mu was furious. If he hadn't been following this fat girl, how could he have been hit by a slingshot and had his leg broken? Afterwards, he went to inquire and found out that the people playing with the slingshot at the door were a servant from the academy and an old man who was guarding the door. They were so weak that they were hit by pure accident.
Although it was his own bad luck, Wu Mu couldn't help but blame the little girl.
Just wait, when I recover, I will investigate you thoroughly!
He is a martial artist, he will recover quickly !
The wheelchair flipped over, flipping forward, and Ebony was facing down, and was pressed hard into the mud by the wheelchair.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry!" Zhou Xing turned around and realized that he had knocked over Lord Wumu's wheelchair with his butt.
Ebony's other leg was dislocated...
Half a quarter of an hour later, Su Xiaoxiao left the academy in a good mood.
She weighed the still warm silver ingot in her hand.
Five taels to reconnect Ebony's dislocated leg.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "By the way, what were you talking about with Changping just now?"
Su Ergou blinked: "Nothing."
Wing room.
Mr. Xiang was painting in front of the window.
Changping bowed and entered, and saluted respectfully: "Sir, the matter has been settled."
Master Xiang picked up his brush and sketched a winding mountain range on the paper: "What did you say?"
Chang Ping said, "I will tell him that I saw him and Miss Su last time, but I didn't report it to you in time. If I had reported it, you would have sent someone to watch over him, and he wouldn't have been bullied by the young master. You are angry with me, so next time he sees you, please remember to say a few good words for me in front of you. Then, I will give him the box of white jade ointment from the Imperial Hospital in the capital. I will ask him to keep it a secret for me and not even tell his sister."
Mr. Xiang asked, "He has no doubts?"
Chang Ping smiled and said, "I have offended his sister more than once or twice. If his sister knew that I bribed him, she would definitely stop me! This is a very good reason, she won't doubt it!"
Mr. Xiang said, "You did a good job. Now let's see if he will use up this bottle of ointment."
Chang Ping said, "He will definitely do it! That person is the only one in their family who was injured, and I heard that he has been injured for more than a month. This kind of medicine is very expensive, so even that person would not be able to resist using it."
…
“Brother-in-law!”
When Su Ergou got home, the first thing he did was to look for Wei Ting.
"What are you arguing about?" Old Man Su was woken up by him and walked out of the room in dissatisfaction.
"Dad, where is my brother-in-law?" Su Ergou asked.
"He's the horse feeder." Old Man Su remembered that he saw his son-in-law feeding the pony in the backyard before going to bed.
Su Ergou went to the backyard: "No."
My brother-in-law and the foal are not here, and neither are the three little ones.
"You looking for me?"
Wei Ting came out from the east room.
"Brother-in-law! So you are in the house!" Su Ergou walked forward with bright eyes, looked around, and said mysteriously, "Come on, let's go inside and talk!"
The two entered the house.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ting asked.
Su Ergou took out a bottle of ointment from his purse stealthily and said in a playful manner, "Look, brother-in-law! This is top-quality ointment for wounds! It's from the capital! It's said to be for the emperor! It works really well!"
