Last year, Tu Hao's weight was always within ten catties.Xu Mingxu felt that this was the result of him skipping meals and eating snacks as meals.

So this time, Tian San, who specializes in making snacks, can't take it with him when he goes out.Under the arrangement of Mrs. Xu, the head of the house, in addition to the cook who was in charge of three meals a day, another cook who is proficient in food supplements was also brought along.

But generally speaking, there is no research on food supplements to a very advanced level.The cook in front of me is actually a student of Dr. Liu who became a monk halfway through.This person's medical skills are not bad, but it is probably because the memory of the hard days is too deep, and he is full of persistence and research spirit in eating.

Dr. Liu, who was a husband, was also helpless, and introduced him to the chef of the Tu family's big kitchen as the second gentleman. He even put medicine and food together in a short time, and the dishes he made began to form a style of his own.

The tense atmosphere just now was interrupted by Tu Haoyi, but Xu Hongxuan no longer felt suppressed, subconsciously took a breath, and saw a few servants swiftly coming to the deck to place various utensils.

A triptych embroidered low screen was put up to block the wind.A layer of bamboo mat is laid in the middle, and then carpets with rich patterns are laid.Then there are low tables and soft cushions.

This type of furniture that sits on the ground was still popular a few years ago.In fact, until now, in most areas of Dahan, such furniture is still the mainstay.

However, with the emergence of various new types of furniture in Jiangdan Woodware Workshop, more and more people began to admire those chairs that can relieve the pressure on the legs or have a comfortable backrest.

Especially for the elderly and young people, the sitting posture is not friendly.The same goes for the beds.The feet of the bed are too short, and it is difficult for the elderly to lie down and get up every day.

Now that Xu Hongxuan saw Tu Hao posing in such a way, he felt a little retro, and smiled immediately: "It's kind of interesting to use it like this on the boat." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull a cushion to his side, But was held by another hand.

He froze for a moment, then looked in the direction of the hand, Tu Hao was looking at him with a smile.

No matter how weak Tu Hao was, he could still be regarded as practicing martial arts (radio gymnastics) since childhood, and his physical strength was still stronger than that of a middle-aged dude whose body had been hollowed out by drinking and sex all the year round.Taking a bit of surprise, he snatched the cushion to his side smoothly, and said to Xu Hongxuan in a calm tone: "The river is windy, uncle is getting old, why don't you go back to the cabin?"

Xu Hongxuan lived to be 40 years old, and it was the first time he was chased away like this.He is not a very good-tempered person, and he has never controlled his temper. He is about to explode immediately, but he has to care about his face outside, and he can't utter bad words. He just said: "As a Junior, how can you treat elders like this?"

The smile on Tu Hao's face disappeared.The passenger ship is only that big, and Xu Mingxu will be back soon, he doesn't want Xu Hongxuan to affect his beautiful wife's mood, so he is no longer polite: "Qilang is so big, what have you done to him, dare to call yourself an elder? You deserve it too?"

The servants arranged on the side were silent, as if they hadn't heard any sound, they were still perfecting various details in an orderly manner.

Xu Hongxuan was stunned.

He must be aware of Tu Hao's reputation.

He is also well aware of Tu Hao's deeds.

Even when he was talking to his group of cronies, he praised Tu Hao a lot.He was also quite proud that he had a son who was no weaker than Tu Hao.

Of course he knew that Tu Hao was definitely not as soft as he usually showed, otherwise the Tu family would be fine, and the entire Ye family's juniors would vaguely regard him as the boss.But he never thought that Tu Hao's stern face would be more frightening than his own son's smile just now.

It's a bit like meeting your own father, an angry father.

To Tu Hao, he really wanted to say "because Xu Mingxu is his son", but when he saw that expressionless face, he fell into the ice cellar, and he didn't know how he got back to the cabin. When I woke up, the moon was already in the sky.

He had missed one supper and was very hungry by now, but he didn't feel like eating at all.He casually put on a piece of clothing and went up to the deck. The boy who guarded him at night heard the movement and came over to try to persuade him. Seeing that he was not persuaded, he turned to say: "The little man, let someone make some food for you?"

Xu Hongxuan nodded his head indifferently.

The water bandits along the Rao River were cleaned up by Zen Shiqi and others. However, before the coastal economy developed, the water bandits were like leeks.Even if there are no water bandits, there are still people on guard at night when they are away from home.

Even though it was very late now, it was not difficult to find hot food on board.

The servant quickly brought up a bowl of pumpkin porridge, with a plate of meat floss and fermented bean curd on the side.

Xu Hongxuan finished eating quickly without feeling any taste, and waved his hand at the boy: "Go to bed after you tidy up, I'll sit down for a while."

Xu Hongxuan, the master, is indeed not such a well-behaved person, but if you give the boy the courage, he would not dare to go to sleep by himself when the master obviously has a problem.What if his master jumped into the river when he turned around?

This is not certain.This group of rich and idle old and young men are out of their minds. God knows what they can do.

After packing up his things, he hurried over again, brought a special small tea stove that can be used on board, and made eight-treasure tea for Xu Hongxuan: "Master, you are sitting cold, drink some hot tea to keep you warm. The villain is right next to you." Come on, don't talk."

Xu Hongxuan took the hot tea, but didn't drink it, and hugged him in his arms. When the tea was cold, he took a sip, and asked in a daze, "What is your father like?"

It's enough for him to give birth to his son. Who stipulates that a father must do something for his son?He also gave his son a good birth.

He thought confidently, but after a while he felt a little guilty for no reason.

The boy was taken aback by the question, but since the master asked, he replied casually: "The villain entered the mansion when he was about seven or eight years old. I can't remember what my father is like."

"Oh." Xu Hongxuan felt that he asked the wrong person.How can this boy compare with Qilang from their family?Their family, Qilang, will not be sold to be a servant. He has delicious food and fine clothes since he was a child, and he can also go to the Imperial College to study.

The boy didn't know what was going on in Xu Hongxuan's mind.He is young and has not experienced the struggles of the Xu family in the past few years.When he was transferred to Xu Hongxuan's side as a servant, the mansion was already in such a pattern.If it were any old man in Xu's mansion, he would have to think more about such a problem.

However, the boy was very straightforward, and continued: "But I remember, my father will take me with me when he goes to the field. He does the work, I play by the side, and teaches me how to weave shrimp pots... There are children in the village who bully me, and my father will teach me how to do it." I'll call back...there is something delicious at home, and my father left it for me to eat." His memory of his childhood was not very clear and coherent, and all he remembered were sporadic fragments, so it was inevitable that he spoke intermittently.

Xu Hongxuan was not impatient. Hearing the boy's words, he felt a little vaguely touched: "Your father is very kind to you." He asked again, "Then how did you get sold into the mansion?"

The boy said: "Later, the villain's father fell ill, and the villain's family was sold by the uncle."

Xu Hongxuan felt incredible: "What about your mother? What about your grandparents? How could your uncle sell your entire family?"

The boy was taken aback by the question.He was still young when he was sold, and he couldn't remember most things clearly, and adults would not tell him the ins and outs of many things.He only knew such a general idea, and when he heard Xu Mingxu's question, he asked in a daze, "Can't it be sold?"

Xu Hongxuan only probably knew it was wrong, but if he could explain why, then he would not be a dude.However, he would not let himself lose face in front of the servant, and immediately sat up and said, "Go back to the cabin and find all the books."

As Xu Mingxu's biological father, Xu Hongxuan may not know more information about this rural education support activity than others, but there are people who specialize in the preparation, which is more sufficient than others.In addition to the necessary textbooks, there are also a lot of other books.Most of these things are ready-made, but he didn't look through them much when he was studying before, so he packed them all this time.

From that night on, he sat in the cabin and studied various laws and cases, except when eating, he hardly saw others.

If this is placed in front of Mr. Xu, I am afraid that the old man will be moved to tears even at his age.My son can't be said to be a material for studying, but he's not stupid either, it's just that he hasn't put his mind on it all the time.

If Xu Hongxuan had this attitude of studying hard, even if he had no ability to be an official, according to Mr. Xu's operation, he would be able to get him the false title of a noble Beijing official of the fifth or sixth rank. Much better than being a dude?

However, no if.

Both Xu Mingxu and Tu Hao didn't bother to talk to Xu Hongxuan, and they didn't release him according to the original procedure until they arrived near the planned Anchang County.Compared with other dandies, Xu Hongxuan's treatment is just less of a beating.

Anchang County is the place where Xu Mingxu once governed.Because the existence of Baiyun Community is almost equivalent to one eye of Lao Zhang's family in the west, the local officials selected have also been carefully considered. Compared with other nearby areas, Anchang County is much more prosperous.

For example, where Xu Shiliu lived, horses were hard to come by, and there was even a daily horse market in Anchang County.Except for the coldest four months, there is a horse market every month.

Of course, Anchang County is far from enough compared to the capital.

Xu Hongxuan has seen many barren places along the way, but he can somewhat understand how difficult it is for Anchang County to be so simple and prosperous.

The boy said with a little pride: "Master, I heard that Qilang also built a Jiangdan community here! Shall we go and see it later?"

"It's not called Jiangdan Community, it's called Baiyun Community." Xu Hongxuan corrected, and said with mixed feelings, "Didn't Qilang learn from Brother Hao? You can have a three-point portrait by taking pictures of cats and tigers." It’s not bad. But since you’re here, let’s go and have a look.”

The guide is a local, and he can be regarded as good at speaking. Hearing what the master and servant said, he said with a smile: "I don't know what to call the master and Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu is the parent officer of our Anchang County."

Anchang County wasn't too bad in the first place, even because of the existence of Anchang sheep, compared with the surrounding areas, it could be called rich.However, with the establishment of Baiyun Community and its rapid development over the years, they realized how poor life was then and how good life is now.

When he saw Xu Mingxu again today, if it wasn't for the occasion, he would have knelt down and kowtowed.This is a real parent official, not the casual self-righteousness of those officials.

There are many trading markets in Anchang County.The largest horse market, the largest fur market, and the largest medicinal material market in the west of Dahan are all in Anchang County.The Baiyun community is no longer what it was when Xu Mingxu left. It has expanded several times.

While the bullock cart was moving, they could already hear the voices of people in the market.

Xu Hongxuan was a little stunned, opened his mouth but turned a corner: "Qilang is my eldest nephew."

The author has something to say:

Little Mouse￣△￣: Hey, did Womeng leave just like that?

Big Sun (￣ω￣): Let’s go.

Little Mouse (*￣△￣*): Don’t you want to take a few sheep with you?

Big Sun (/ω＼): The mutton is too filling, you can’t bear it.

Little mouse: _(:з」∠*)_
