Chapter 631: A Steady Scholar
The fight between the two brothers of the Su family ended with Su Xiaoliu being beaten so badly that his whole body was in pain.
However, Su Xiaoliu was very dissatisfied.
"Second brother, you ambushed me this time..."
"What sneak attack? I'm beating you up openly!" Su Laoer interrupted Su Xiaoliu righteously, "If I were to sneak attack, I would have put you in a sack."
Su Xiaoliu, “…”
Speechless.
Little Tangbao looked at Su Xiaoliu with a smile and said, "Sixth brother, the book says that war is the art of deception. In comparison, second brother is really upright. Ahem, I'm going to beat you up."
Su Xiaoliu, “…”
My sister laughed at me...
"Sixth brother, if you want to be a great general, it's not enough to just practice kung fu, you also have to learn the art of war." Little Tangbao advised in a soft voice.
"I understand, sister." Su Xiaoliu said dejectedly.
The little flame of joining the army that was jumping in my heart was extinguished with a puff.
He originally thought that since he was tall, he could get away with it by lying about his age and joining the army.
Now I know that not only is his Kung Fu not up to par, he can't even beat his second brother, and he's not proficient in military tactics...
Su Xiaoliu's recently inflated arrogance was extinguished by a beating from Su Laoer with a fire stick and a few words from Xiao Tangbao.
"Sister, can you talk to Master Yu and ask him to teach me the art of war?" Su Xiaoliu approached Xiao Tangbao and asked excitedly.
After only three minutes of being depressed, he was back to full health.
Little Tangbao thought about it and patted his chest.
"OK!"
She will definitely help fulfill Sixth Brother’s wish.
Anyway, Master Fox will teach the little brother about military tactics, so there’s nothing wrong in bringing Sixth Brother along, right?
At worst, I can just ask Master Fox for help...
Little Tangbao was thinking in his mind.
Since Su Laoer and Su Laowu are back, they naturally have to go for a walk around the farm.
After all, this is the first farm of our family.
"Dad, I'm going to the mansion to borrow a carriage." Little Tangbao volunteered.
With so many people going, one carriage naturally couldn't accommodate them all.
Although the Su family has two carriages, Su Laosi runs a shop in town and usually occupies one of them.
"Go ahead." Old Man Su said, "Ask your sixth brother to go with you."
"Sister, let's go." Su Xiaoliu said with full energy: "I'll hold you in my arms, and I'll drive this carriage back."
This carriage is most likely pulled by Hong Hong.
Although the horse they bought was not bad, it was not on the same level as Honghong in the mansion.
Su Xiaoliu was very excited, but Xiaotangbao gave Su Xiaoliu an apologetic look.
"Sixth brother, why don't you let fifth brother come with me? Fifth brother finally comes back once, let's let him visit some friends and meet some people..."
A beautiful aunt came to the mansion today.
After listening to Xiao Tangbao's words, Su Laowu touched Xiao Tangbao's head and said softly, "Have you missed your fifth brother these days?"
"Yeah!" Little Tangbao nodded heavily, "I miss my fifth brother!"
"Fifth brother misses you too..."
As Su Laowu spoke, he took Xiao Tangbao's hand and the brother and sister walked out briskly.
Su Xiaoliu, “…”
Why do I feel a little uncomfortable?
Su Xiaoliu looked at her sister's back with an abandoned expression.
Su Laoer walked to Su Xiaoliu, touched his nose, and looked at his sister's back.
He hasn't been back for a few days. Why didn't my sister say she missed him?
"Brother, I must have been scared by you, that's why I don't miss you." Su Xiaoliu said ventingly, "If you don't come back in the future, I will definitely not miss you either..."
After Su Xiaoliu finished speaking, he felt a little better.
Su Laoer, "..."
It hits him right in the heart, doesn't it?
With a "Pa!" sound, Su Xiaoliu was slapped on the back of the head.
"Xiao Liu, come on, let's have another fight." Su Lao Er said.
Dad would definitely not like me beating my brother for no reason.
Maybe he'll pick up a fire stick.
But the fight between two brothers is different.
You can beat me up at will...
"What are you trying to do? Go get the car!" Old Man Su yelled. "Also, don't hit Xiaoliu on the back of the head again!"
Su Xiaoliu raised his neck and said, "Did you hear that, second brother? Don't bully me anymore!"
"If you hit him again, he'll be even more stupid!" Old Man Su continued, "If you're going to hit him, hit his butt. He has a lot of flesh, so don't hit him..."
Su Xiaoliu, “…”
The neck was raised, then drooped again.
Su Laoer laughed out loud.
"Okay! Dad, I got it!"
After saying that, he reached out and slapped Su Xiaoliu on the butt.
Su Xiaoliu, “…”
Is this my biological father?
Is this your biological brother?
Su Xiaoliu was extremely miserable, but Su Laowu and his sister Xiao Tangbao were very happy.
"Fifth brother, there are guests coming to my little brother's house today." Little Tangbao said mysteriously.
Su Laowu asked with some amusement: "What guests?"
"A very beautiful - beautiful aunt." Little Tangbao praised her highly.
Su Laowu, "..."
It seems that she is General Yang’s daughter.
As the brother and sister were talking, they soon arrived at the big house.
"Uncle, I want to borrow a carriage." Little Tangbao said sweetly as soon as he saw Wang Zhong.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to harness the car right away." Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"Uncle, there's no need to bother anyone else." Little Tangbao said sensibly, "My fifth brother knows how to harness the horse. We can just go to the stable in the backyard."
Wang Zhong looked at Su Laowu and said with a smile, "Su Xiucai is a scholar, how can he do such rough work?"
"Manager Wang, you're wrong," Su Laowu said loudly, "Food is the people's first necessity, and farming is the foundation of a country. Although I, Su, study the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, I never forget that I come from a farming family. Forget harnessing a cart, even carrying a hoe to weed the fields is common..."
Su Laowu was not talking nonsense.
The Su family never spoils their son.
Although Su Laowu passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he would go to the fields to work whenever he came back from vacation.
What's more, there are many children from poor families in the county school, so the county school will be closed during the busy farming season.
Little Tangbao tilted his head and blinked.
Whenever my fifth brother comes back, he will help with farm work at home.
Uncle already knew about this, why are you asking this?
"Madam, Master." Wang Zhong bowed behind Xiao Tangbao.
Little Tangbao turned around.
The beautiful aunt and little brother were standing behind her and her fifth brother.
"Aunt! Brother!"
Little Tangbao is as cheerful as a little lark.
The beautiful aunt nodded to Xiao Tangbao and looked at Su Laowu with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
"This is..."
"Aunt, this is my fifth brother." Little Tangbao hurriedly showed off his brother, "My fifth brother has passed the imperial examination and the teacher often praises my fifth brother for his good writing..."
Su Laowu said with a helpless smile: "Sister, don't talk nonsense."
Wouldn’t that make people laugh at me for selling my melons?
After Su Laowu finished speaking, he bowed to his beautiful aunt.
Then he said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Madam."
After hearing what Su Laowu said, the beautiful aunt nodded secretly.
He is neither arrogant nor impatient, has a clear vision, and is a steady young man.
"Tangbao is innocent and smart. Since you are her brother, you must be smart too. It is natural that you are good at writing." The beautiful aunt said with a smile.
"Madam, you are too kind." Su Laowu was young after all, and a hint of shyness appeared on his face.
