His father had been disappointed with him, had glared at him, and taught him patiently, but he had never left him alone.

Xu Sizhen stood blankly in the middle of the room, his hands and feet were cold. He didn't know how long it took before he came to his senses and staggered out of the door.

Fourth Young Master, what's wrong with you? Wang Shu hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

It's okay, it's okay. Under the sun, his face was as white as paper.

Wang Shu didn't dare to ask any more questions and helped him back to Danbozhai.

Ms. Jiang was about to give birth, with her big belly and close-fitting maid Baozhu packing away the clothes and quilt she had made for her unborn child a few days ago.

Taking advantage of the good weather in the past few days, she took it out to bask in the sun. The corners of her eyes and brows were filled with the joy and peace of being a mother. Just don't let the sun shine directly on her, so as not to get hot and cause the child to get angry.

Baozhu giggled: This is what the wife said, the wife in her mouth refers to Jiang's biological mother. Her daughter is about to be born, and it is her first child. She is very worried, and writes letters every now and then to give instructions.

That's what I was told.

As far as you know, Mrs. Jiang said seriously, she was not angry, and there was a hint of joy in the corner of her mouth.

I don’t know why Xu Sizhen suddenly felt a little afraid of facing such a child.

He did not disturb Mrs. Jiang, but turned around and went to Xu Sijie's place.

Xu Sijie has not returned from class.

He went straight to Xu Sijie's study.

The maid Xi'er hurriedly served tea.

You go down. Xu Sizhen waved his hand, "I'll wait for the fifth brother here." The two of them have always been friendly, and Xu Sizhen's temperament is easy-going. Xi'er greeted her for a few words and then left with the little maid.

Xu Sizhen looked around the room.

There is a large kang next to the window, covered with old red cushions holding five blessings and longevity, and a black lacquer kang table. There is only a set of sweet white porcelain tea cups on the kang table, but there are piles of books on the kang table. On the window sill

A sky-green plum vase was provided, and one or two half-withered osmanthus flowers were inserted sideways. In the middle of the room, there was a large black lacquered bookcase inlaid with thousands of Chinese characters. The left hand was filled with four books and five classics, and the right hand was a pen-washing inkstone.

Only a space about the size of the elbows in the middle was left as a pen pad for writing. The four Duobao Pavilion shelves behind you, as tall as a person, were filled with books. They were not neatly arranged books but...

Half of the bookmarks are sticking out or the books are placed a little crookedly. A quick glance shows that the books on the shelves of Duobao Pavilion are often read by people and are not for display.

Xu Sizhen casually took a copy and laid it down on the drunkard's chair placed under the moon window. But something was resting on his waist. He turned around and saw that there was also a copy of the notes on the Four Books placed on the drunken old man's chair.

He turned around and tried to put the book on the black lacquered table beside him, but it turned out that there were also several books such as university annotations on the black lacquered table.

Xu Sichen laughed and lay down on the drunkard's chair.

The drunken man's chair shook and he looked up, just in time to see a pot of yulan huā placed on the flower table in the corner. The crystal-clear lily petals were trembling and they opened at the right time.

What a great place

Xu Sizhen couldn't help but sigh.

Why hadn't he noticed that Xu Sijie's study was so comfortably and elegantly decorated before?

The thought flashed across his mind, and he lost interest in reading and closed his eyes. He rose and fell with the drunkard's chair, and his heart rose and fell with the drunkard's chair.

His father must be very disappointed with him

He didn't expect that his father would pay so much attention to Dafenghao. He thought that as long as Dafenghao paid back the money on time, it didn't matter at all. Although he didn't take care of the general affairs during that time, he would ask Bai Bai every day.

Is there anything special about the manager? My father also said that we should learn to catch the big ones and let go of the small ones. He can just catch the manager Bai. Why do you have to do everything yourself?

Thinking of this, he became a little irritated.

I feel like the shaking of this drunkard's chair makes me dizzy.

He stood up suddenly and shouted to Wang Shu, "Isn't the fifth young master back yet?"

The door curtain was raised with a swish, and Xu Sijie's smiling face appeared in front of Xu Sizhen: "Why is the fourth brother not at home with the fourth sister-in-law and came to my place?" he teased Xu Sizhen.

Xu Sizhen has been with Jiang most of the time since she became pregnant.

Being teased by his younger brother, Xu Sizhen smiled sheepishly: I stay at home every day and thought of coming here to have a meal with you. Why aren't you welcome?

If nothing happened, Xu Sijiexiao asked Xi'er to put more food in the kitchen while the fourth brother ate here.

Xi'er responded with a smile. When she walked to the door, she was stopped by Xu Sizhen: "Do you have any wine? Please order Jinhua wine."

Xu Sijie and Xi'er were both a little surprised. Xi'er even advised: It's only noon, and the Marquis is in the house again.

Before Xi'er could say anything, Xu Sizhen said in frustration: Forget it, go down and prepare lunch.

Xi'er couldn't make the decision anymore, so she looked at Xu Sijie.

The smile faded from Xu Sijie's face.

He waved his hand towards Xi'er, signaling to retreat.

Fourth brother, what happened? Xu Sijie pulled Xu Sizhen to sit down on the big kang near the window and asked him solemnly.

Xu Sizhen looked at his younger brother's childish face, but he couldn't say anything. After holding it for a long time, he asked Xu Sijie: Are your homework okay?

Xu Sijie was originally a sensitive child, and the more Xu Sichen didn't want to talk about it, the more important he felt it was.

But we can’t force Xu Sizhen, right?

Not bad, Xu Sijie was talking to Xu Sizhen while observing his expression carefully. Mr. Chang asked me to put more effort into writing the article. He laughed and said that my wording may be too flowery.

Or it may be too elegant, so that the article is dry and cluttered, lacking a bit of substance, which makes people feel a little indifferent. It has a feeling of helplessness, and now I don't know how to write.

Vegetables and radishes, everyone has their own merits. Xu Sizhen heard this and quickly comforted Xu Sijie, don’t be discouraged. Maybe when you meet an examiner, he will like your article.

What he was talking about was something he had been worried about, and the person listening was his elder brother who he relied on. Xu Sijie had no excuses: he couldn't say that. If he met an examiner who was the same as Mr. Chang, he would end up in trouble.

You can't take luck as a bell. What's more, Mr. Chang also said that if the article is well written, there will be a mark with a whip, and blood with a slap. If you want poems, then poems, if you want poems, just poems. It can be seen that I still need to put some effort into my articles.

. He said, his brows lifted a little. I think that diligence can make up for clumsiness. Now I have re-transcribed all the articles that Mr. Chang gave me to correct, and then compared them with my original articles to see what Mr. Chang thinks I have written.

Examples of bad examples are shown, so that you can know where I wrote poorly. Mr. Chang praised my method when I met him last time.

Xu Sizhen didn't expect that he would look at him seriously after saying such words: The fifth brother has grown up.

Xu Sijie smiled sheepishly: I can't let my mother worry about me all the time.

Xu Sizhen said nothing.

Xi'er came in carrying the kang table.

The two of them ate quietly, Xu Hujie arranged for Xu Sizhen to rest in the study, and Xu Sizhen soon fell asleep.

When I came over when I was going to school, Xu Sijie was still sleeping. Xu Sijie told Xi'er to take good care of her, and tiptoed to Tingtao Pavilion. But his footsteps had not gone far, Xu Sijie's

The eyes opened.

He lay there not wanting to move.

After a while, Xu Sizhen heard Baozhu's voice: "Thank you, sister Xi'er. Since the fourth young master hasn't woken up yet, I'll wait here for a while. Go sit in my room."

With a deep smile, he asked the little maid to guard here. As soon as the fourth young master makes any movement, we will come over. Baozhu smiled and thanked him.

There was no sound under the eaves, and it seemed empty.

Jiang, who belongs to the Guan Qing family, really said that, looked at the orb with a somewhat cautious look on her face, and her expression looked a little solemn.

That's really what you said. Baozhu whispered. At that time, Guan Qing's family was going to deliver food to the fifth young master. When he saw me there, he asked casually. Although it was just a few words, I heard that there was nothing wrong. In the morning, Hou

I called the fourth young master to tell Mr. Jiang what happened earlier for a sum of money from the Dafeng Hao.

The person in charge of the Qing family is called Hu Bo, and he is the most powerful person around my mother-in-law. To be able to do such a job is not a simple person. I met Baozhu by chance, and presumptuously talked about what happened in the study room in the outer courtyard, but I didn't inquire about it no matter how much I asked.

I knew everything about it without any effort. No matter how I thought about it, it seemed a bit strange.

The thought passed by and Ms. Jiang was startled.

Or maybe Guan Qing's family just reminded her on the order of her mother-in-law.

When she thought of this, Mrs. Jiang could no longer sit still.

Let's go and see the Fourth Young Master

Sitting by the kang, Eleven Niang smiled and leaned over Xu Lingyi's shoulder: Why is her anger not gone yet?

Xu Lingyi turned around and saw a pair of eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile.

He stretched out his hand to twist her nose, but she tilted her head and dodged.

I don’t even know what he was thinking. Xu Lingyi took a long breath. Wang Shuhuo Qingyinzhen beside him was not a smart, capable, and agile person. When he got ready, he actually went to the shop to supervise the work in person. Really, he

He shook his head and ignored the things that should be taken care of, and only took care of the things that should not be taken care of. He also said, I don’t know how many evil servants deceived the master, seeing that there was no one in charge of the master’s house, and some even stole the master’s property.

He said that he also sold his young master to a human trafficker and became a lowly person for the rest of his life.

Brother Zhun, isn’t it because the person in charge is Mr. Bai, whom you trust the most? If it were someone else, how could he be so careless? Eleven Niang said with a smile, “According to what you said, he remembers the accounts clearly, I know.”

You asked for money, and you didn't even hesitate to tell me how much money you had, and even asked you to take it and use it. This shows that it's not as bad as you said. Xu Lingyi said nothing and Ji Shiniang pursed her lips and smiled.

It's not a serious illness, but it's not a serious illness. But something big will happen at the critical moment. This is probably why Xu Lingyi is so angry.

Otherwise, she would not have asked Hu Bo to let Jiang know and ask Jiang to help persuade Xu Sizhen.
