After listening to Chu Xiao's narration, Lu Zhubu nodded. Every family has its own problems. There is no need to say much about the character of the Yan family. After returning from the last wedding banquet and hearing Qing'er learn what Zhao Guizhi said, he felt that this family was worth making friends with.

What's more, this Xiao brother is very much to his liking. Since ancient times, young men have had no status and have lived their lives in a cautious and confused manner. Even his own young man is not immune to this.

However, although Xiao suffered a lot of hardships in his youth, he still managed to be proud, which makes people look up to him.

"You don't need to worry about the land. The government will not forcibly seize farmers' land. It must be a normal transaction. Zhicheng, what do you think?"

Seeing that his son did not reply, Lu Zhubu frowned and looked at his son who was in deep thought: "Why are you so absent-minded? You have failed in your job and have not made any progress in the eight years of military service."

Being ridiculed, Lu Zhicheng touched his nose in embarrassment. Even though he was thick-skinned, he still felt embarrassed for being scolded by his father in front of outsiders.

However, the fact that his father could ask him directly showed that these two people were absolutely trustworthy, so he naturally had no need to hide anything.

"Brother Yan, Brother Chu, I might as well tell you directly that it is true that a noble person wants to build a villa in Anning Village."

"I came back this time for this matter. Although it's not a big deal, the people living in the manor cannot have any mistakes in the future, so I have to find out who leaked this information."

It would be a lie to say that they were not curious about some big shot, but there are some things that are better not known than known, so the two of them did not show any doubts or inquiries, but just repeated what Yan Zhengxing said yesterday.

Lu Zhicheng nodded: "I will investigate as soon as possible. Please forgive me if I hurt Uncle Yan."

"Uncle, please do as you please. If it weren't for the rules of etiquette, I would have beaten him up."

Lu Zhubu was amused by Chu Xiao's words: "You, you always have a loose mouth. Be careful not to be accused of disrespecting elders."

Chu Xiao didn't care and helped Master Lu sit down: "What kind of elders are you if you are no longer related to me? If the elders are not kind, the younger generations will naturally be unfilial. If all relatives can be like Grandpa Lu, I wish all the people in Anning Town were relatives."

Lu Zhubu smiled and shook his head. This Xiao Ge only knew how to flatter. He asked Chu Xiao to sit down as well and asked, "Has Chu Laoer's family ever caused you any trouble since you got married?"

"Of course there are." Chu Xiao said proudly, "But I am not afraid of them because I have Grandpa Lu's support. What's more, they are just making trouble and can't really do anything to me. If they dare to scold me, I will scold them back. Who can beat Brother Shen in a fight?"

Lu Zhubu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You are just pretending to be powerful. You can scare people, but you can't do bad things, understand?"

"I'm the best." Chu Xiao, who was not a good boy at all, smiled sweetly: "I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if others provoke me, I definitely won't be beaten or bullied."

"Hahaha." Zhubu Lu was amused by his words again. If we talk about being well-behaved, any boy in Anning Town would be much better behaved than him.

The two men watching the excitement nearby had different expressions. Lu Zhicheng wondered why his father had no principles at his age. He had repeatedly warned him in the past that he should make his own way and not think he could do whatever he wanted in Anning Town just because his father was a chief clerk.

Yan Zhenshen felt that his husband's ability to act good was getting more and more adept. He used to always say that he was not a little brother, but a man, Chu Xiao, but now he was more capable of acting like a spoiled child than a child. Why did he act like a spoiled child with his elders, but couldn't he act like a spoiled child with himself?

envy!

After chatting for a while, Chu Xiao looked at Lu Zhicheng and said, "Uncle, have you ever practiced martial arts?"

"Yes." Lu Zhicheng nodded: "Why do you ask this?"

Chu Xiao said: "I have a younger brother who is nine years old this year. I wanted to send him to school, but he is too timid. If he is bullied away from home, he may not resist. So I thought of letting him learn martial arts. He must have the ability to protect himself."

Lu Zhicheng nodded: "It's a bit late to learn martial arts at the age of nine, but it's still good for strengthening the body. I will probably stay in Anning Town more in the future. Why don't you let him go to the private school during the day and come home at night, and I will teach him a few simple things."

"Thank you very much, uncle." Chu Xiao and Yan Zhenshen stood up and bowed to express their gratitude.

"I have nothing to do anyway, so there's no need to thank me." Lu Zhicheng waved his hand proudly.

When Qing Ge'er heard this, he clapped his hands happily and said, "Uncle, Xiao Bei is my good friend, you have to teach him seriously."

Lu Zhicheng looked down at the little kid Qingger, and now he finally understood that Chu Xiao and his father were not close friends regardless of age difference, and that he was misled by this guy.

She reached out and tapped his forehead: "Since you and Xiaobei are good friends, let's study and practice martial arts together."

Qing Ge'er was dumbfounded: "But I'm the younger brother?"

"What's wrong with you, little brother? You're not missing any limbs, so why can't you learn?" Lu Zhicheng snorted, "Are you afraid of hardship?"

Qing Ge'er pouted and said, "Qing Ge'er is not afraid. If Brother Xiaobei can learn, I can learn too."

Lu Zhicheng raised his eyebrows and said to Chu Xiao, "Then let Qingge'er come with us. I will arrange the academy. If I am at home at night, let Xiaobei stay here. I can stay at the academy when I am not at home."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Zhubu again: "Dad, do you have any objections?"

"You have already arranged everything, why are you asking me?" Lu Zhubu glared at Lu Zhicheng unhappily, interrupting him to say something.

However, he still had the final say on the arrangements at home. He turned to Chu Xiao and said, "Qing'er has been living with me in the main courtyard. Two aunts who are responsible for cleaning and the kitchen live in the west wing. There is only one coachman in the east wing. Xiaobei may have to live in the east wing when the time comes."

Chu Xiao was about to ask if it would be too much trouble when Lu Zhicheng interrupted him. He twitched his mouth and said, "Dad, I live in the east wing too."

Lu Zhubu said, "You will also live in the east wing from now on. After all, we have a little brother at home, and it is not convenient for a grown man like you to go in and out of the main courtyard."

Lu Zhicheng was speechless. He had never lived in the main courtyard. When he was a child, there was a younger brother in his family, and he and his older brother both lived in the side rooms. When the younger brother got married, he also went to join the army.

When I came back from the army, my younger brother had a new little brother at home.

Chu Xiao didn't feel any pressure from Lu Zhicheng at this moment, and even found it a little funny. "Then I will thank Grandpa Lu and Uncle on behalf of Xiaobei."

"What are you thanking me for? My family is so lively." Lu Zhubu patted Chu Xiao's arm and said, "Come over often when you have nothing to do in the future."

"Since Grandpa Lu said so, I will definitely come here more often."
