Tang Shuyi didn't know yet, Xiao Yiyuan already knew his identity, he was waiting for Xiao Yuming to come back, and he didn't know how he behaved to the general today.Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Yuming came back, looking pretty good, not unhappy.

"How is it?" she asked.

Xiao Yuming went to the chair and sat down, and said, "General Xiang asked me to be his long-term follower."

Tang Suyi was taken aback when she heard this, and then she looked stunned and asked, "What did you say?"

"Just let it be!" Xiao Yuming said, with a look of indifference.

Tang Shuyi glanced at him, and then smiled, "I knew my son was able to bend and stretch. You see, he can be a son of the Hou family, and he can also be the chief follower of a general."

Xiao Yuming: "..."

"Then what have you been doing around General Xiang today?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Xiao Yuming replied: "The general asked me to follow him in everything he did. In the morning, he stayed in the study after returning from the martial arts training ground, reading books and maps, and went to meet two friends in the afternoon."

Tang Shuyi nodded, "General Xiang is paying attention. Son, he is teaching you by precept and example. As his long-term follower, you have been by his side. How does the general practice martial arts, what books do he read, how does he discipline his subordinates, how does he communicate with his colleagues?" You can see everything clearly, getting along with each other and so on. As long as you put your heart into it, you can definitely learn something."

"Mom, I know." Xiao Yuming said.

"My son has grown up." Tang Shuyi said with a smile: "After dinner later, you should write down what the general did today, and think about what you should learn and how to learn it. You won't understand , I will ask the general tomorrow."

Xiao Yuming nodded seriously, while Tang Shuyi was thinking in her heart that she must give Mrs. Xiang a gift, a big gift.Anyway, General Xiang is a favorite of his daughter-in-law, as long as Mrs. Xiang is happy, General Xiang will be happy.

Xiao Yuming didn't go back to his yard after dinner, but went to find Niu Hongliang, wanting to ask him how to read a map.He didn't understand the map he showed the general today.

Niu Hongliang was very happy to know that Xiao Yuming was learning from General Xiang, and said, "Second Young Master, this is a rare opportunity, you must seize it!"

"I know Master Niu." Xiao Yuming said respectfully, "I came here to ask you how to read a map."

"No problem, you come with me." Niu Hongliang was very happy. The second son of the Hou Mansion started to learn things on his own initiative. This is a good start.

After entering the room, Niu Hongliang took out a map and began to explain to him little by little...

Tang Shuyi soon found out about this, and she said to Cuizhu Cuiyun, "Does Master Niu have a son?"

"Yes, he looks twelve or thirteen years old. I heard that he likes to read books." Cuiyun said.

Tang Shuyi pondered for a while, "Call Master Niu over tomorrow and ask his son if he wants to study in Shanglin Academy. If he wants to, let Steward Zhao send him there."

She will not treat anyone who is devoted to the Hou Mansion and to her son.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and said to Cuizhu Cuiyun: "If you two fall in love with someone, tell Madam, Madam, I will get it back for you."

Cuiyun blushed upon hearing this, but Cuizhu said: "Madam, this servant does not want to marry, and this servant just wants to learn from you."

Tang Shuyi laughed, "Okay, then you study hard."

As she said that, she turned her head, saw Cuiyun's flushed face, and said with a yo: "I really fell in love with someone! Tell me, who is it?"

Cuiyun blushed even more in embarrassment, bowed to Tang Shuyi and said, "Your maidservant, go and see if the ginseng soup is ready."

After finishing talking and walking away quickly, Tang Shuyi turned her head and asked Cuizhu curiously, "Who is it? Do you know?"

Cuizhu smiled, "It's the second son of Steward Zhao, Zhao Li."

Tang Shuyi thought about Steward Zhao's second son, who seemed to be eighteen or nineteen, a tall young man.

"Does Zhao Li know?" Tang Shuyi asked.

"I know, it was Zhao Li who first fell in love with Cuiyun." Cuizhu said.

Tang Shuyi hummed, "Tell Cuiyun, tell me when you want to get married, and I will prepare a dowry. However, even if you get married, you have to come to my place to continue working."

Zhao Li is also working in the Hou Mansion, and is now a small steward.If Cuiyun got married with Zhao Li, it would be considered that he hadn't left the mansion, and it would be great if he came back to work.

The economic base determines the superstructure, whether it is ancient or modern.After a woman gets married, she not only needs to rely on her dowry to support herself, but also depends on her natal family or identity.Cuiyun is a girl bought from outside, not a son of the mansion, and compared with Steward Zhao's son, she is only a level behind.

However, if she still works by her side after getting married, no one would dare to underestimate her.Don't say that they are all servants, and don't look down on anyone, as long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Of course, Guan Zhao's family is also very good, and he is also a smart person. It is indeed good for Cuiyun to marry into his family.

After chatting with Cuiyun Cuizhu for a while, Tang Shuyi washed up and rested.

But Xiao Yiyuan, who was in the dormitory of Shanglin Academy, couldn't fall asleep no matter what.The room was not very dark. He lay on the bed with his eyes open, looking at the beams of the roof.Scenes of the past from childhood to adulthood flashed in my mind.

When he was born, his family was still living in no fixed place, and he was born in a ruined temple.At that time, the family was so poor that they could chew and eat the bark of the trees on the side of the road. Even when his mother gave birth to him, he didn't have a good ration to eat, so there was no milk. He grew up drinking vegetable paste.

Later, the family went all the way south, and finally found a place to stay in southern Xinjiang. The family was stable, but life was still miserable.

Her grandmother said every day that it would have been better if her grandfather had not been allowed to join the army.Said that my grandfather was smart and capable, and his body was strong. Once he went into the mountains, his family's rations for a month came out.He also said that when his grandfather was still at home, there was almost no meat cut in the family, because his grandfather was very good at hunting.

At that time, they were drooling when they heard it. They might not be able to eat a bite of meat in a year.They also thought that it would be great if their grandfather was here, but his grandfather died.

But now someone told him that his grandfather did not die at the beginning, but made great contributions with the late emperor and was named a Marquis, but he married a noble daughter.

Heart blocked panic.

However, he also knew that what he was encountering now was definitely not simple, and he even had some doubts about whether what was said in that letter was true.But how can he tell the difference?He is a poor scholar, and he doesn't know many people in the huge Shangjing. How can he inquire about the information of the Yongning Hou Mansion?

What's more, there are still people with malicious intentions who want to use him.

He thought about asking Fang Daru, but the truth of the matter had not been clarified yet, how could he ask?Fang Daru was good to him, but it was far from the point where he could fully talk to him.

He couldn't fall asleep that night, but he didn't dare to toss and turn, because there was someone in the dormitory who had ill intentions for him.

Although his previous life was bitter, it had never been this complicated.
