Lin Xiu sneered, "Your nobleman, our two families can't avoid it, but I didn't expect your family to hurry up."

Li Zhiyuan was silent, but when Fang Shu saw him, he hurriedly said, "Zhiyuan, don't worry, even if you can't please the nobleman, you won't cause any trouble."

Li Zhiyuan glanced at Fang Shu, then looked at Lin Xiu, "You also know about this?"

"In Huayi Prefecture, there are many people who know who came, not just the two of us, but the only ones who know the reason are Uncle Lin and my father." Zhou Boya said, holding a teacup and handing it to the engrossed man. Zhou Leya, who was listening to their conversation, said in a low voice, "Le'er, have some tea."

Zhou Leya glanced at the dark tea, and looked away in disgust. He didn't like drinking black tea, but his brother forced him to drink it every time.

Zhou Boya took away the plate that Zhou Leya was holding tightly in his hand, twisted Zhou Leya's chin, and said softly, "Hey, just drink a little."

Zhou Leya stared at the dark tea in front of her eyes. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Fang Shu holding back a smile. Zhou Leya was embarrassed, remembering that they were not in Qinglanyuan where there were only two of them. Zhou Leya had to open her mouth and drink it obediently. He hated black tea very much, and then he was distracted thinking, when will he grow up quickly?

Seeing Zhou Leya drinking tea obediently, Zhou Boya moved his hand away and asked Zhou Leya to continue eating melon seeds.

But Zhou Leya was a little depressed, watching her brother and Fang Shu, who had just held back her laughter, changed the topic, and Zhou Leya began to gnaw on melon seeds Kazkaz.

Peeling the shell while chewing, then grabbed Zhou Boya's hand on the table, spread it out, and put the shell on.

Zhou Boya was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhou Leya with a gentle smile, and passed his hand over.

Zhou Leya Kazkaz ate the melon seeds while peeling the shells solemnly.

Lin Xiu, who was on the sidelines, covered his face. He shouldn't yell at people when his younger brother accidentally dropped some ink on his book. Compared with Zhou Boya, he is so ungentle and inconsiderate! ——If his noisy younger brother dares to put melon seed husks in his hand, he will definitely beat him up!

Li Zhiyuan had a hint of envy, thinking about the nasty things in his home, he was envious of Zhou Boya, it was nothing to put melon seeds on his palm, look at Zhou Leya's trust and intimacy with Zhou Boya... the same As a bastard, he also has a younger brother, but his younger brother has always looked at him with jealous eyes.

Fang Shu froze for a while, then changed the topic that was interrupted in the middle.

"By the way, Boya, I heard that General Shen has also come to Huayi Prefecture." Fang Shu asked.

"It should be here in a few days." Zhou Boya counted the time, originally thought that the general wanted to accept him as a disciple on a whim, but unexpectedly, in the past few days, his father repeatedly told him to follow General Shen well. Practicing martial arts, he also sorted out the largest Tao Ranju in the front yard.

"Hearing your tone, could it be... General Shen is coming to your house as a guest?" Lin Xiu asked curiously.

Zhou Boya nodded, "Yes." The affairs of Yanxi Mansion cannot be casually told to other people, therefore, he cannot tell Lin Xiu and the others that General Shen wants to take him as an apprentice.

Li Zhiyuan listened, and sighed again in his heart. His father is the admiral of Yandao in Huayi Prefecture. In terms of official title, he is still higher than Zhou Shibo. My best friend, Mr. Fang Yuanjing is still Boya's teacher, and now there is another Shen Gaoyi...

And my father only knows how to cling to the rich and powerful of the Li family, so what if he is the admiral of the Salt Road now, Zhou Shibo has only been in Huayi Prefecture for half a year, and he has pulled out the cancerous tumor of the Yanxi Mansion's Salt Gang, and how many years has my father been a salt worker in Huayi Prefecture? Admiral Dao!The salt helped him but there was no way to solve it!Or, is he unwilling to settle?

Li Zhiyuan looked at Zhou Boya with a bitter heart. I'm afraid that in two or three years, Zhou Shibo will be promoted to Tiandu, right?And his father...

Zhou Leya held the not-black tea that Zhou Boya brought to him in two fat short hands, and drank it in small sips, looking at Li Zhiyuan with clear eyes.

——My brother's classmate is proud and inferior, but he is upright and knows how to adapt, but this person is also quite easy to get into the horns.

——The elder brother named Fang Shu who always looked at him smiling, has a generous heart, but he is a bit shy and very careful.

——This elder brother named Lin Xiu is smart, proud and confident, but he has been going smoothly for too long and is prone to falls. In a few years, he will have a big somersault!

Well, it seems that elder brother is the most powerful!Zhou Leya summed it up with the final word!

After the chat was over, Zhou Boya said inadvertently when sending Lin Xiu and others away, "After the lantern show is over, the teacher invites you to go to Ghost Valley Bookstore together."

Lin Xiu was stunned, what?Ghost Valley Bookstore?

Fang Shu said with a trembling voice, "You mean Ghost Valley Bookstore??"

——The study house of Mr. Guigu, the number one hermit of the Great Xia Dynasty, his uncle Fang Yunjing's mentor? !Do not enter the Ghost Valley Bookstore even if you are one of the six members of Chaoge? !

Li Zhiyuan glared at Zhou Boya, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Such an important matter should have been mentioned earlier, so that they can be happy!He actually kept it under wraps until now!

Zhou Boya smiled casually, "Oh, I just forgot."

Li Zhiyuan choked, Fang Shu looked at Zhou Boya speechlessly, Lin Xiu rolled her eyes, it must be that he and Zhiyuan had broken their mouths just now and made Young Master Boya dissatisfied!

Lin Xiu clasped her hands together, "I won't talk about anything else, I'll hold a banquet in Wanghai Tower in a few days, when that time comes, you and Brother Le Ya will come together, and I will also bring Lin Bin there, and we will all get together. "

"Okay." Fang Shu said hurriedly, "It will definitely be very lively then."

Li Zhiyuan also nodded and said yes.Zhou Boya also responded with a smile.

After sending Lin Xiu and the others away, Zhou Boya lowered his head and asked Zhou Leya who was being held by him, "Does Le'er like these brothers?"

Zhou Leya nodded. These people are pretty good. From the appearance, although these people will be compared with their elder brother in the future, they will be either rich or expensive, and they are not treacherous.

Zhou Boya looked at Zhou Leya and nodded, feeling a little upset, why did he fall in love with him after only meeting him once?Zhou Boya said very seriously, "Le'er can like these brothers, but you have to remember, Le'er, that Le'er can only like me the most. Do you know?"

Zhou Leya looked at Zhou Boya for a while, then nodded silently.

——He also likes father and mother...Xuya and Jiaya...

Anyway, since the elder brother didn't ask, he acted as if he didn't know anything.

Zhou Boya looked at Zhou Leya and nodded, satisfied, rubbed Zhou Leya's forehead affectionately, hugged Zhou Leya and walked towards Qinglanyuan.

At this time, in the backyard, in the Meixiang Garden, which was used to gather and punish servants, Li Xiuniang was sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the center of the platform, and there were about 20 servants and maidservants standing respectfully below her.

The servants of the Zhou Mansion are under strict control. Whether they are servants purchased from outside or children born at home, they have to go through strict education, and then they have to go through the selection of the guards and stewards. In the end, those who are unqualified or not suitable for the Zhou Mansion will be released. A certain amount of money sent them out of the house.For those who are qualified, the nuns and stewards will give them a set of clothes with the logo of the Zhou Mansion, and give them a certain amount of money first, and then the masters will pick and choose.

Traditionally, Li Xiuniang had to inspect the new servants of the Zhou Mansion first, and if they thought they were good, they were sent to various courtyards.

But because Zhou Leya's personal servants have not been settled yet, and Qinglanyuan is also short of servants and maidservants, so after Li Xiuniang's inspection, after replenishing the servants and maidservants in each courtyard, they will be selected again for Qinglanyuan. stand up.

——A good attendant is the indispensable arm of the master.

Rather lack than abuse.

Li Xiuniang looked at the servants who were standing respectfully and bowed their heads, first glanced around, and then said slowly, "I believe Nanny Sun has already told you all the rules in the mansion, and I won't say much about the others. , you just remember two sentences, if you do well, you will be rewarded, if you do wrong, you will be punished. The duty of a servant is not to betray the master! If anyone commits this taboo, it is not just punishment. It's as simple as that!" At the end, Li Xiuniang's voice was condensed.

The servants standing below knelt down one after another, kowtowed, and said in unison, "Your servant (little one) obeys."

-

And at this moment, Zhou Boya is walking towards Meixiang Garden with Zhou Leya in his arms.As soon as he arrived at Qinglanyuan, Hongshi hurried over and told them to pick up some servants, so he turned around and walked towards Meixiangyuan.

When Li Xiuniang was lecturing, they had just walked to the gate of Meixiang Garden.

Zhou Boya paused at the entrance of Meixiang Garden, put Zhou Leya down, squatted down, stared at Zhou Leya, and said seriously to Zhou Leya, "Le'er, you have to pick it yourself later, just pick two maids and two attendants."

Zhou Leya nodded, okay, he doesn't want too much, and he is not used to four people serving him alone.

Zhou Boya continued to say with a serious expression, "Le'er, choosing a servant means that you have truly become the master. It's not a big deal, but for our master, being able to choose a servant means that you can be your own master." .So, after a while, my brother can't carry you in, you are the master, you have to be majestic, you know?"

Zhou Leya looked at Zhou Boya in silence: Brother, my brother didn't make you have to hug me and walk...

Zhou Boya saw that Zhou Leya was just staring at him, so he patted Zhou Leya's head and comforted him, "When I get back to Qinglanyuan, my brother will hug you."

Zhou Leya: ...

After Zhou Boya finished speaking, he took Zhou Leya's hand and walked in. As he walked, he lowered his head and said softly, "There is no need to choose flexible and smart servants and servants. The most important thing is to choose loyal and careful ones. Of course, my brother will help you." You hold your eyes."

After Zhou Boya led Zhou Leya into the Meixiang Garden, Mother Qin beside Li Xiuniang hesitated again and again, but still leaned down and said in a low voice, "Madam, the two maids and two attendants sent by the Li family a while ago, you Do you want to see it?"

Li Xiuniang turned her head to look at Mother Qin, her eyes were sharp, "Mother, someone asked you to say something nice?"

A while ago, the Li family in Tiandu sent two maidservants and two servants, both of whom were eleven or twelve years old. The person who sent them here was Li Fu, the second manager of the Li family. I met once from a distance, and Li Fu is the confidant of the ancestor of the Li family. What is the purpose of these two maidservants and two attendants sent by him personally?

She didn't know, the master seemed to know something, but he asked her to ignore it for the time being.

She knew that her master had a lot of things hidden in his heart, so she wouldn't ask too many questions.

Qin Nanny quickly shook her head, and said hastily, "No, yes, it's because the servant feels that if those four people are always left like this...wouldn't it be good?"

Li Xiuniang eased her gaze, and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, Mammy, it's fine. The master and I have our own ideas in our hearts."

After Qin Nanny heard this, she quickly responded respectfully, thinking to herself, it seems that Madam has already made up her mind about this matter, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
