After returning from the county government office, Shuyao felt very relaxed.

In fact, they were a blessing in disguise this time. Not only did the uncle and the third uncle have some scruples in their future actions, but they also eliminated the evil thoughts that some colleagues may have out of jealousy.

Many times, the tighter the protection and the more mysterious it is, the more people want to peep, and simply exposing it to others will make people lose interest.

After dinner, Shujie took a pith-washing fruit and went to bed.

According to Master Wu Xin’s herbal book, after taking the marrow cleansing fruit, the body will excrete a large amount of dirt through the skin during 5 hours of sleep.

In order to prevent Aunt Mei from asking when she was washing the sheets and bedding, Shuyao found an older sheet and blanket and spread them on Shujie's bed. There was also a large piece of oil paper placed under the sheet. She just had to put away the sheet and blanket tomorrow morning and find a chance.

Just throw it away when you go out.

Aunt Mei, Sister-in-law Ajuan and Wife-in-law Sun were busy doing preparations for tomorrow morning in the tofu shop in the utility room (washing beans, soaking beans, washing utensils, preparing firewood, etc.), when they heard Shuyao say that Big Brother is going

After going to bed, he agreed very much: "The eldest young master has hunted so many prey today and been disturbed by Xia Mansion for a long time. He must be exhausted. It would be better to go to bed early." After a while, they all went to bed and got up early to make tofu.

You have to go to bed early at night.

Sister-in-law Ajuan also said: "No, it's such a big wild boar. Almost every household on the whole street got a big piece of it. Master Jie is really capable and generous, like Xia Baantou."

The robe, two pheasants and two rabbits were given to the Xu family at the discretion of Zhang Shiwen and Uncle Li, to thank Mrs. Xu for standing up for the three Shujie brothers and sisters. The other pheasants and a rabbit were given to the owner of Zhangji Tofu Shop to thank him

The space, materials, and tools were provided free of charge.

Shuyao and Shuwen each wrote two large characters, arranged Shuwen to wash up, and went to bed. Shuyao took Xiaoguai and Huohuo back to their house. Shujie made two simple beds for them with hay.

I am planning to go to Jiujinsao's husband Carpenter Xu early tomorrow morning to customize two more comfortable nests for the two little ones.

Before going to bed, Shuyao put the body deeds of Aunt Mei and Xiutao into the treasure box.

Before leaving the county government today, Aunt Mei insisted that Shujie go and get the physical deed for their mother and daughter.

Although Hongmei is a city girl born as a maid, she saw a lot of things during the two years she stayed with Zhen Zirou in Murong Mansion. After her husband's death, she experienced the pain of being framed and expelled by her husband's family, which made her have a better understanding of the ugliness of the world and the warmth of human relationships.

own understanding.

After today's commotion in the Xia Mansion, Hongmei realized that it would be better for her mother and daughter to stay in the Xia Mansion as slaves. This was justifiable and would not bring trouble to the three young masters. It was also a kind of protection for herself and Xiutao.

Hongmei said to Shujie: "Master, it doesn't matter whether I am a slave or not. If Master takes pity on us, wouldn't it be enough to release Xiutao from her bond when she grows up?"

Shuyao quickly thought of Aunt Mei's concerns and advised Shujie: "Brother, it's better to listen to Aunt Mei. We just know that Aunt Mei and Xiutao are family members and not slaves. When eldest brother becomes a high official in the future,

When others don't dare to bully us, we can resolve the bond between us."

Shujie is not stupid, he is also very smart. After thinking about it for a while, he figured it out. This can avoid a lot of possible troubles. So he stopped insisting and went directly to the county government’s household registration bookkeeper to apply for Aunt Mei.

The deed between the two was also stamped with the county government's seal.

Early the next morning, Shuyao woke up and ran to Shujie's room. Shujie had already washed up, and his hair was still wet. He felt refreshed and energetic, especially his eyes, which were as bright as stars.

Shuyao looked at a sack in the corner of the room and knew that it should contain the sheets and blankets laid out last night. She put them in a treasure box so that they could be dropped when she went out.

Shujie picked up Shuyao who pouted and had an accusatory look on his face and coaxed: "Yaoer, be good, don't be angry with big brother, it's really smelly and dirty, it's black and sticky, it's so scary, big brother can't

I don’t want to fume my Yaoer. You don’t know, my eldest brother washed three buckets of water.” Fortunately, the weather is hot now, so Shujie washed it directly with cold water, otherwise it would definitely arouse Aunt Mei’s suspicion.

Shuyao thought about how she was the most "poor and particular" in her daily life. Her eldest brother must be afraid of making her sick, and her body was so sticky and dirty that everyone wanted to wash it off quickly, so she was no longer angry: "Brother

, how do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Shujie beamed: "It feels great. It seems that all the meridians in my body have been opened up and refreshed. Well, it feels like I have been reborn."

Shuyao was overjoyed: "Then you can start practicing that Shadowless Palm?" The eldest brother, who is both civil and military, is the backbone of the family. Naturally, the sooner he becomes stronger, the better. And in Shuyao's heart, she owes her eldest brother in her previous life.

Yes, in this life, she hopes to give the best things to her elder brother and Shuwen.

"Yes," Shujie tapped Shuyao's little nose, "With you as my little housekeeper, I don't dare to be lazy."

"Hmph," Shuyao raised her chin proudly, like the arrogant Huo Huo, "My eldest brother's task now is to take the exam for the number one scholar, and also take the exam for the number one scholar in civil and military affairs. Yao'er will supervise it every day." Yes.

With the Marrow Cleansing Fruit and Master Wuying's martial arts secrets, Shuyao's "requirements" for her eldest brother have also increased. Their family is not short of money now, but what they lack is the "power" to protect themselves.

Shuwen woke up at some point. After listening to Shuyao's words, he responded vaguely: "There is also me. I also want to take the civil and military examination."

Shujie teased him: "If you want to take the top prize, you can't be a lazy pig. Get up and memorize the Three-Character Sutra."

Shu Wen curled his lips while putting on his clothes: "Brother, my sister and I have known how to memorize the Three Character Sutra for a long time. You said that we will start reading the Hundred Family Surnames today."

"Yes, yes, my Wen'er and Yao'er are the smartest. They are both the pride of eldest brother." Shujie smiled happily. Although his parents are gone, fortunately, he still has these two younger siblings, so that there is still something in his life.

There is hope and laughter.

The three brothers and sisters got dressed and walked out of the house. Xiutao was already sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard picking soybeans. Seeing Shuyao and the other three coming out, they greeted like little adults: "Good morning, young master, good morning, girl. My mother said breakfast is in the pot.

The food bowls for Xiaoguai and Huohuo are also ready. Mom also said that the young master should take time to study in the morning and not go to the stall. It will be too hot in the afternoon and he will be tired from studying."

After Shujie helped his younger siblings wash up, he asked Xiutao to come over and wash their hands, and the four of them ate together. Except for Aunt Mei, the other four in the Xia family were all children and were growing tall. Shujie had to study and practice martial arts, so Aunt Mei advocated thrift.

When it comes to food, he is quite generous. For example, today's breakfast is quite sumptuous: lean meat porridge, small flower rolls, chopped green onions mixed with tofu, and a poached egg for each person.

Xiaoguai and Huohuo rushed out of the house happily when they smelled the barbecue, and each occupied a seat. These two little things who were about to become sperm refused to put the food bowl on the ground, but wanted to follow the book

Yao and the others also ate at the table.

Carpenter Xu happened to come over to make a "bed" for Xiaoguai and Huohuo at Shujie's request. He was stunned when he saw the two "eating" at the edge of the table.

Huohuo glared at Carpenter Xu with contempt and said "squeak", while Xiaoguai ignored it and concentrated on eating its delicious food. Because Xiaoguai was still young, Aunt Mei chopped up the barbecue carefully and mixed it with some cabbage and

The rice was inside, and it seemed to be very suitable to Xiao Guai's taste. He even licked up the meat residue and rice grains on the edge of the basin.

Seeing that the little boy had eaten two or three times as much as Huohuo, Shuyao lay down lazily on the chair and patted his back in a funny way: "Go, take a walk, eat, don't grow into a fat cat."

.”

Xiaoguai let out an aggrieved "Aww", jumped forward, jumped off the chair, and was facing the direction of the courtyard door.

Almost at the same time that Xiaoguai landed, Shuyao and others heard a scream: "Mother--tiger--"

Then there was the sound of something falling heavily to the ground, and a loud "Ah yo——"

Aren't these the voices of Lin and Zhen Dafu? Again?
