After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

Xiao Huai and Xiao Yuchen arrived at Fang's mansion, and when they reached the gate, they saw Fang Daru's son, greeting him at the gate.Seeing the two getting out of the carriage, Fang Daru's son smiled and walked over to salute Xiao Huai.

Sophisticated people, as long as they are not particularly pedantic, basically understand.Xiao Huai conquered Rouli Country, and while the strength of the Northwest Army greatly increased, its reputation became more stable.In addition to the Dingguo government's relationship network in the court, Xiao Huai can be said to be very popular in Shangjing.

Although the emperor is afraid of him, but now that he has made great achievements and has no reason to be caught by the emperor, even if the emperor wants to kill him, he can't find a reason.The courtiers could see this clearly, moreover, the emperor was getting older, and seeing his health getting worse day by day, no one knew what would happen in the future.

Therefore, the courtiers are still willing to make friends with Xiao Huai.Although Fang Daru is a scholar, as long as he is in the world and wants to make himself and his family better and better, he cannot completely break away from power.Therefore, knowing that Xiao Huai was coming over today, Fang Daru asked his son to meet him at the door early.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Huai and Xiao Yuchen followed Fang Dalu's son into the front hall, where Fang Dalu was waiting for them.There was another round of pleasantries when we met, and then Fang Daru began to test Xiao Yuchen's knowledge.After asking a few questions, Xiao Yuchen answered them fluently and quite insightfully.

Fang Daru laughed after hearing this, "There should be no problem next year, but as for the ranking, it depends on... luck."

If Xiao Yuchen's grades are good, the final result of the palace examination depends on the emperor's will.

"I'll do my best." Xiao Yuchen said.

Ever since he knew that his father was not dead, he felt a lot more relaxed.Before, the goal he set for himself was to pass the Jinshi examination, and the ranking should not be low.

If his father is gone, although he can claim the title, title does not mean power.Only if he is good enough can he have a place in the future court.

But now his father is not dead, just like his mother said, the imperial examination is just icing on the cake for him.He did his best to study for the exam, and he was less nervous about the result.

I have to say, this is the difference between having a good father and not having one.

After staying at Fang Da Confucianism for a while, Xiao Huai took Xiao Yuchen to leave, and then the two rushed to Qi Mansion.In fact, Xiao Huai was quite strange, Qi Liangsheng had a bad relationship with Xiao Huai before, why did he accept Xiao Yuchen as his disciple?He didn't think it was Tang Guogong's role, after all Xiao Yuchen already had the famous teacher Fang Daru.

At this moment, Xiao Yuchen suddenly said: "Sir, he is actually quite a good person."

He knew that Xiao Huai and Qi Liangsheng didn't deal with each other before, and he was afraid that it would be the same now.He was quite worried that the two of them would face each other coldly after a while.

Xiao Huai glanced at him and asked: "There was some discord between my father and Master Qi before, how did he accept you as his disciple?"

"It was arranged by my mother." Xiao Yuchen said: "My mother thinks that I should have a master who has experience in scientific examinations and can guide me in the court, so she put Mr.'s second son by her side to teach, and then asked Mr. asked him to accept me as an apprentice."

After hearing this, Xiao Huai sighed and said, "Your mother has worked so hard!"

Xiao Yuchen pursed his lips, and said: "Mother has worked very hard in the past few years when you were away. You said that there are some problems between you and mother. If you don't want to say that, I won't ask. But father, please be considerate of mother."

Xiao Huai nodded seriously, "Don't worry."

While speaking, he arrived at the Qi Mansion, got off the carriage, and saw the housekeeper of the Qi Mansion walking over with a smile on his face, and then saluted, "I have seen Duke Ding and Prince Xiao."

Xiao Huai waved his hand to make him stand up, and then followed him to the front hall.The butler smiled and invited the two to sit down, and Qi Liangsheng came over after a while.Xiao Huai got up to greet him, Qi Liangsheng responded calmly, and then the two ignored each other.

Qi Liangsheng began to ask Xiao Yuchen about his experience, and then began to test his knowledge.Xiao Huai sat aside and drank tea quietly.

He is not the real Xiao Huai, there is no enmity with Qi Liangsheng, and Qi Liangsheng is the master of the eldest son, he wanted to have a good conversation with Qi Liangsheng.But it was obvious that Qi Liangsheng didn't like him very much. Although he didn't show any dislike for him on the surface, some small movements revealed his dislike for him everywhere.

Naturally, he wouldn't do the thing of putting a hot face on a cold butt.Besides, although Qi Liangsheng taught his son, his father also taught Qi Liangsheng's son, and he didn't owe Qi Liangsheng anything in this respect.

After Qi Liangsheng asked Xiao Yuchen some questions, he said, "Come back tomorrow, and I will tell you about the imperial examination. I have something to do today, so I won't keep you guys."

He really didn't want to see Xiao Huai.

Everyone issued orders to evict guests, so Xiao Huai stood up and bid farewell to Qi Liangsheng. Qi Liangsheng also bowed to him with a flat face, and then asked the housekeeper to send their father and son away.

Xiao Yuchen was quite puzzled, the husband was not like this before, every time he came here he was always pleasant, could it be that he really had a grudge against his father?But I haven't heard of it!

Besides, if the two really have enmity, why are they in the same camp in the court?

I really don't understand.

The father and son returned home, it was almost time for lunch, and they went to Shi'an Garden together.When Tang Shuyi saw them, she was a little surprised.It was time for lunch, Qi Liangsheng didn't keep them for lunch.

Tang Shuyi couldn't laugh or cry when thinking of Qi Liangsheng's thoughts on her before.

After a while, Xiao Yuzhu and Xiao Yuming also came over, and the family had lunch together.After dinner, the three brothers and sisters all left in a hurry, only Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai were left in the small flower hall.

After taking a sip of tea, Tang Shuyi said: "Jing Yi came today, and it was the concubine who asked me when I would go to offer incense and want to go together. I said I would go in two days, and then the Duke of the Kingdom will come together."

After hearing this, Xiao Huai cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Xie."

Tang Shuyi waved her hand, "You don't have to be so polite in the future, you and I met in this way, it's fate, we should help each other."

Xiao Huai smiled, "What Madam said is that if there is anything in the future, Madam will tell me directly."

Tang Shuyi glanced at him and curled her lips. He is really a very easy-going person.She said again: "Master Guo will take Yu Ming to the General's Mansion in the afternoon."

Speaking of this, she thought for a while and said: "Does the Duke know that you have some favors with General Xiang?"

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "I don't have any previous memories."

Tang Shuyi was taken aback, then teased, "In this way, your acting skills are pretty good."

Xiao Huai couldn't help laughing, "My lady doesn't give in too much."

Tang Shuyi gave him a sideways look, leaned on the brocade couch and said, "I don't know exactly what favors Xiao Huai and General Xiang have, the Duke will just play it according to the situation."

Xiao Huai nodded, "Okay, it would be best if we can form an alliance with Xiang Tianhe."

"It depends on the ability of the Duke." Tang Shuyi said.

Xiao Huai hummed, "I'll think about it."

Tang Shuyi picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "General Xiang is a...wife slave."

Xiao Huai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mrs. Xie reminds me."
