Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The three of them talked while walking. When Xu Huaiyi entered the house, almost everyone in the village knew that he had been admitted to Jingwu Academy. The power of gossip is so powerful.

After deciding to invite a few acquaintances to their home for dinner at noon tomorrow, Village Chief Xu and Xu Maoyuan left without being satisfied. They still had many things they had not asked carefully, but they thought that the young couple must also have a lot to say. It's not good to leave him alone, so I can only ask about it next time.

After entering the west room, Xu Huaiyi lay down directly on the fire kang, "It's quiet now."

Gu Huanxi poured him a cup of tea and was not in a hurry to ask questions. She turned around and asked Wei Ci to bring the food. After the weather got cold, their family liked to eat in this room.

The heat on the kang was warm, and it felt very comfortable to sit cross-legged on my head.

Soon, Wei Ci and Wei An came in with plates and bowls. The Kang table was filled with sweet and sour pork ribs, Lao Chu cabbage, crab roe tofu, braised carp, and a mutton stewed radish dish, all of which were delicious in color and flavor. It whetted the appetite. Xu Huaiyi sat up and couldn't help but take a piece of ribs and gnaw on them first.

Seeing Gu Xiaoyu looking at him, he also gave him a piece of it, "You can eat it if you want. How can you be so polite in your own home?"

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

He's not being polite, he's just not used to being so informal.

Holding a piece of spareribs in his hand, he froze for a moment, then imitated Xu Huaiyi and started chewing, but his movements were much gentler.

Xu Huaiyi said, "That's right. Men have to live a free and easy life. What's the point of holding it all day long? Just pretend to be in front of others, and relax behind others. You can be as comfortable as you like, otherwise you will be exhausted. "

After saying that, he asked Gu Huanxi, "Daughter-in-law, am I right?"

When it comes to educating his children, he doesn't dare to act arbitrarily and has to consult his wife's opinion. Especially when it comes to dealing with Gu Xiaoyu, he is very cautious now.

Because he had already guessed Gu Xiaoyu's identity. Good guy, it was just as he expected. It was the most advanced game. If one player failed to win, the whole army would be wiped out.

Gu Xiaoyu also looked at her. Compared to his father, he still felt that his mother was more reliable.

Gu Huanxi opened a small jar of wine and poured it out while saying, "What you said is correct, but it is not universal. It can only be your attitude towards life. Applying it to others may not be applicable. Therefore, it still has to be based on personal experience." Depending on the situation, find the position that best suits you. If you really have to act on your temper, things will get messy."

When Gu Xiaoyu heard this, she thought to herself that it must be her mother. Her father was straightforward and prone to being emotional, but her mother could calm people down with just a few words.

Xu Huaiyi explained subconsciously, "I don't have the freedom to act according to my own temper. I'm outside today, but I don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary. I'm very honest and responsible..."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

What he said was unambiguous, and his eyes were candid.

Gu Huanxi raised the corners of his lips, "Let's eat first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later."

The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.

Xu Huaiyi was so relaxed that he couldn't help humming a tune. Only then did Gu Huanxi ask him about today's exam process. He naturally told him everything he knew, and he took on the posture of a storyteller, with ups and downs, full of emotions, and the description was like a reenactment of the scene. , as I experienced it myself.

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi said thoughtfully, "So, that Master Sun treats you differently?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "His attitude towards me is indeed good, but you don't have to worry. I am not very conspicuous among the twelve people, so I will not arouse jealousy from others. The two I just mentioned are Li Yunting and Zhao Sanyou. Master Xue and Master Ma made no secret of their admiration for them. I saw that Master Xue even wanted to accept Zhao Sanyou as his disciple and establish the title of master and apprentice. That would be much closer than the rest of us... …”

Gu Huanxi heard this, looked at him and asked directly, "What about you? If that Master Sun also wants to accept you as his disciple, will you agree?"

Xu Huaiyi became entangled, "I don't really think about it. He is a few years older than me. I don't want to have to be filial to a peer for the rest of my life. Master and apprentice are like father and son. Who wants to find a father for himself?"

Gu Xiaoyu's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Gu Huanxi was also speechless. Is this the point of her question? "Then what?"

Xu Huaiyi continued, "But Master Sun's family background is very unusual. If I'm being snobbish and realistic, it's easier to enjoy the shade with such a big tree behind me, but if I'm being rational, this tied relationship has advantages and disadvantages. In case the Sun family There is something wrong, and we have to fall in with it. We will suffer both glory and beauty. But if he really opens his mouth and I refuse, it means I don’t know how to praise, and I will definitely offend others. Alas, being too good as a person is also a burden. Na..."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I listen to you..."

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him, then turned to ask Gu Xiaoyu, "Do you know anything about the Sun family?"

Gu Xiaoyu said, "I don't know much about it, but the Sun family is a famous family, so I know something about it. I don't know about the Master Sun that my father mentioned, but there are several third-rank officials in the Sun family, both civil and military." . Still with real power, there are more Sun family members serving in other places."

"So, the Sun family has flourishing branches and a wide network of connections?"

"Well, aristocratic families have gone through hundreds or even hundreds of years of reproduction, as well as various in-law relationships, and their roots are deep. Even their own family members may not be able to understand their human relationships clearly. These are the noble families in the capital. It is beyond reach, especially for officials from poor families."

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "So, Master Sun has a very deep background."

Owning such a person is equivalent to owning all the relationships behind him, a perfect golden thigh.

This kind of temptation is not small.

Gu Huanxi ignored him and continued to ask Gu Xiaoyu, "Does the Sun family take sides?"

Gu Xiaoyu's expression changed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and shook his head, "My son hasn't heard about it. On the surface, the Sun family has not married their daughter into the royal family, but there are still some in-laws in the Sun family who are crooked. , As for what’s going on inside, my son can’t even guess what the Sun family’s plans are.”

As soon as he heard about the question of which team to take, Xu Huaiyi became extremely clear-headed and immediately said, "Then let's stay away from the Sun family. It is impossible for such a wealthy family to completely escape from the battlefield."

Besides, if they really want to take sides, they can only take their own side. Can their elbows be turned outward?

Gu Huanxi understood what he meant and said calmly, "Let's wait and see first. If someone wants to show kindness, you should follow up. Be respectful to others and don't be distant if you don't want to please them. If he does it in the future, If you really have that thought, you can just find a reason to push it aside as long as you can so as not to offend anyone."

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "Actually, even if he is not a formal apprentice, he is still the master of our group. We will have to support him in the future, but the relationship is not so tight."

Therefore, as long as you step into that circle, it is impossible to completely cut off the relationship.
