Chapter 789: I feel sleepy and I'm on the pillow. It's better to come at the right time than to come early.
Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu looked at each other, and fell speechless when they thought of their two children's empty wallets.
The next letter broke the parents' awkward silence.
Sang Zhixia found that she had indeed underestimated others.
It turns out that Nuonuo and Yuanbao not only have all kinds of good treasures given by their great-grandfather, but also the monthly allowance from their grandmother as pocket money, and the allowance from their third grandfather and third aunt.
Not even three years old, she already has her own little private treasury of jewels and precious stones.
Now I can count my own messy little private accounts on my fingers, and the surplus is quite considerable.
Xu Wenxiu said in the letter that the two little ones had become frequent visitors to the old prince's door.
I was taken there to visit every now and then, and when I came back, my pockets were always bulging with good things, just like a thief would never leave empty-handed.
That pair of small jade turtles were once the old prince's favorites.
But now it belongs to the little ones.
Xu Wenxiu sighed that the little guy was really adorable, and Sang Zhixia held back her laughter and opened an envelope.
The box is not big, but it contains many words that I don’t have the chance to listen to for the time being.
In addition to the elders in the family, even Nan Wei, Chen Yun and Xu Jinxi contributed their words and worked together to write a letter.
Sang Zhixia looked at the different handwritings on the letter paper and could almost imagine the tone of voice these people used when they put their heads together to write the letters.
It must be lively with everyone talking.
Sang Zhixia nudged Xu Yu and said, "Grandfather and Third Uncle said that Yuanbao and Nuonuo can gradually start practicing martial arts in a year, and they wanted to ask for our opinion."
Xu Yu blinked leisurely. Sang Zhixia held up the letter. "My mother and mother-in-law mean that the Xu family's tradition is martial arts, so Yuanbao must learn. But it's okay for Nuonuo to be pampered. In fact, she doesn't have to endure the hardships of martial arts training. What do you think?"
"study."
Xu Yu said without hesitation, "I've been thinking about this for a long time."
"It's good for Yuanbao to learn the long spear with his uncle. It's best if he can handle all kinds of weapons. Nuonuo will learn the soft whip and dagger with her uncle."
"I have everything ready, I am just waiting for the coming of age."
Boys should be able to protect themselves from wind and rain, and only when they have strong abilities can they have a voice.
Girls should also establish their own families and have their own pride and elegance.
Xu Yu never thought of raising his daughter to be a spoiled young lady who never left the house.
He can pick up a pen and hold a sword, he can run on a horse and govern on foot. No matter whether he is managing a family or himself, he must have solid skills to be worthy of the title.
However, children’s hand bones are soft and tender, so they cannot learn literature or martial arts according to the requirements of adults.
Before the two little guys could walk, Xu Yu personally selected a small and soft whip made of cow tendon, and polished a smooth wooden dagger and sword himself.
Sang Zhixia knew that Xu Yu would do these things when he had some free time, but it had been a while since she saw the suitcase Xu Yu always carried with him. She was surprised to hear this and asked, "Are all these things you mentioned ready?"
"That's about it."
Xu Yu roughly counted the various wooden swords and knives he had polished himself to Sang Zhixia, and said slowly, "I don't know what they like, so I made double batches of everything I could think of."
"I'll take them back and let them choose. It's a good opportunity for me to teach them."
"You teach?"
"Yes, I will teach you."
Xu Yu carefully put away the doodles in his hand, leaned against Sang Zhixia and said, "Zhizhi, my father also taught me when I was young."
"I once heard my mother lament that my father, despite being busy with many things away from home, always found time every day to teach me how to hold a sword and how to write on paper."
Xu Yu tilted his head and kissed Sang Zhixia on the ear, saying with a smile, "I thought about it when we got married."
"I will do the same when we have children."
He spent too little time with his children when they were young and had to miss a lot.
But not anymore.
Sang Zhixia's eyes were dazzled with smiles. She lowered her head and kissed Xu Yu between the eyebrows as if to praise him: "Have I ever praised you?"
"uh-huh?"
Sang Zhixia reluctantly recalled the original owner's awful father, who was a complete freak of the world, and blurted out a sincere compliment: "You will be a father that Nuonuo and Yuanbao can be proud of."
"What do you think?"
Xu Yu held Sang Zhixia's hand and placed it on his lips, then asked with a smile, "Zhizhi, in your eyes, am I qualified as a husband?"
"Didn't I tell you I'm proud of you, too?"
Sang Zhixia slapped Xu Yu's disruptive hand away and said, suppressing a smile, "Xu Yu, I have always been very proud of you. This has never changed."
In the present, before earlier.
Always have been.
Xu Yu closed his eyes and laughed muffledly. Before he could think of a few more annoying words, an uninvited guest came outside.
Upon learning that Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng had come together, Sang Zhixia exclaimed in surprise.
"Why did these two busy people think of looking for me?"
Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng have been really busy recently, and their level of busyness is comparable to Chen Jingan, who claims to be working in circles.
Although the danger of the flood was safely overcome thanks to the protection of the sky, there was still a lot of work to be done in the inspection and repair after the flood receded.
Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng were probably afraid of being liquidated again, so they took the initiative to take on the responsibility without waiting for anyone to tell them. They contributed money and effort without any hesitation, and were very dedicated.
Now that everyone is here, we must meet.
Sang Zhixia made a move to stand up, then suddenly thought of something and turned to ask, "Are these people still on the young prince's menu for confiscating property to pay for his army?"
If they are still on Jiang Yubai's list, then their situation will be very delicate.
"Zhizhi, we do a lot of work to pluck the feathers of passing geese, but we won't abandon the donkey after it has done its work."
Xu Yu was too lazy to see anyone. He picked up the child's calligraphy again and examined it carefully. He said lazily, "If you have done your best, you don't have to risk your life."
"Besides, these two old foxes have seen the situation clearly this time, and they probably won't jump into death in the future."
Sang Zhixia hummed to indicate that he understood what was going on. When he turned around and saw the person coming, he was so shocked by the scene that he paused for a moment.
"Why is it so lively?"
It was Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng who came, but there were heads moving around in the flower hall in front, and at a glance there were no less than twenty people.
Although there were many people, it was very quiet. Apart from Fan Shicheng and Gui Sheng, there was no one familiar.
Song Liu had already arrived here, waiting for Sang Zhixia. He explained in a low voice, "The people who came here with the two family heads today are all well-known and wealthy people from Jiangnan and other places. They are all the masters of their families."
"I heard that these people came to the Gui and Fan families a few days ago, hoping to get an introduction. It would be best if they could have a chance to meet you."
Now the situation in the Jiangnan area has become clear. From now on, it will be included in the jurisdiction of the King of Lingnan and no longer be under the jurisdiction of Emperor Yongshun in Kyoto.
Now that the new master has been established, as the fat sheep, we must quickly show our loyalty.
But everyone knows that Nanyun has a powerful General of Cavalry, but such a person is not often seen.
Looking at it from another angle, since I can't meet Xu Yu, it's okay to meet Xu Yu's wife.
The general's wife is the head of Sanyou Trading Company, and they are all merchants who started their careers through business.
We are all in the same boat, so there will be no shortage of topics to talk about. Isn’t that better?
Therefore, even though Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng had no intention of calling their friends, the people who came after smelling the fishy smell still filled the small flower hall.
Guessing the purpose of these people's visit, Sang Zhixia smiled meaningfully.
"When you feel sleepy, go to the pillow. It's better to come at the right time than to come early..."
