Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

Qin Xiuyuan put on his clothes and put the stool he had kicked back into place. He looked in the mirror at the teeth marks on his neck and said, "Shushu, how can I go out and see people like this?"

Usually she would bite downwards, but today she chose the neck. It was summer, and wearing a high collar made her look even more obvious.

Wangshu had been quiet that afternoon. Ever since he interrupted her to ask about the tiger-killing brothers, he only spoke a few words when begging for mercy. Once he was sober, he ignored him. Qin Xiuyuan went over and pulled him up, "Talk."

Wangshu, who had just cleaned up and was about to take a nap, didn't want to sleep anymore. She pushed him away and staggered to the closet door to choose a tube top and a cross-collared gauze dress. These were clothes that would be seen by people...

Qin Xiuyuan was so frightened that he went over and hugged the person firmly. His knees were still not straightened, and he was stumbling awkwardly. His face was still flushed, and his eyes and lips were one red from crying, and the other swollen from being bitten... How could he go out in this state!

"I was wrong...Shushu."

Qin Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind. "...The two brothers who fought the tiger haven't changed much. Let's go to the horse farm one day and bring them over. You were very good at judging people and selecting materials back then."

The strength to resist in his arms weakened, and Qin Xiuyuan felt very upset, but he didn't dare to say, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, I'll go see them."

Wangshu slowly opened a box of fine white makeup powder on the table, dabbed on some and added a little oil. Qin Xiuyuan quickly bent down and stretched his neck to wait, smoothing it out with two fingers. Without a close look, the bloodstain would be invisible...

When I looked up again, I felt happy.

Although everyone was having a good time at dinner, the two Ji sisters were not there. Mingxi asked his second aunt several times during the meal.

Mother Ji picked up some food for her granddaughter and said, "Your second aunt has really learned to work hard lately. She has been studying the Four Books behind closed doors."

"Second Aunt hasn't come over for a long time." Mingxi said distressedly, "Brother, let's go over to play with Second Aunt later."

"Okay!" Qin Yunxiao insisted on being obedient.

Qin Xiuyuan told his wife that his children were leaving, and Wangshu asked him to pack a hairpin and send it over.

A group of five people, followed by a dozen maids and guards carrying lanterns and torches, passed through the connecting door of the two houses. The brother and sister jumped and led the way.

"Second Aunt!" "Aunt Lele!"

Straight to the closed study door.

The connected houses are managed by Chun Yang, the main house owner. There are slightly fewer maids and guards than in the main house. The pavilions, towers, flowers, plants and gardens are taken care of like those of a wealthy family and maintain their original appearance.

The main house, Wangshu, was modified as the family lived in it. Gradually, many satisfactory materials and doll supplies were added to it, making it more comfortable and lively.

The study was large, having been converted from the east wing. The children were calling out at the door, and there was a constant chatter inside. Qin Xiuyuan, with his astonishing hearing, turned and asked, "Who is the Master?"

Ji's mother was also knocking on the door. "The teacher gave me math assignments and went home after class. Only Lele is inside!"

Qin Xiuyuan gestured with his hands behind his back, and the guards began to disperse quickly. He stepped forward, pulled his children behind him, and guarded the door. "Le Le, open the door."

"I'm doing my homework!" Lele finally yelled from inside, "Don't bother me! I still have a page of math to do!"

Ji's mother quickly persuaded, "Brother-in-law brought Yun Xiao and Ming Xi to see you, and there are gifts. Come out first. Do your homework later."

“I want to finish it!”

After yelling, her daughter was stubborn, so Ji's mother led everyone to the living room, "Then Lele, hurry up, we'll wait for you in the dining room."

"Mother-in-law, we just finished our meal. Let's take a walk in the yard." Qin Xiuyuan rubbed Yun Xiao's stomach. "How many chicken legs did you eat while I wasn't paying attention?"

Qin Yunxiao's belly was indeed bulging, so he lifted it up and let his father rub it. It did feel much better, but as soon as he reached the edge of the pool, he couldn't help it, "Dad, I want to poop... No, go to the toilet!"

Just when they were not far from the Unicom Gate, Qin Xiuyuan snapped his fingers, and soon Tang Bo arrived with his men. The two exchanged glances, and Tang Bo took the brother and sister back, "Young Master is looking for his sister!"

Qin Xiuyuan walked back to the side yard. Ji's father and mother thought that he was going over, so they were relieved. Their daughter had a cold face for most of the past six months, and the two of them could never get close to her. Fortunately, their son-in-law and his pair of grandchildren were still relatives.

"Where is cousin Wanting's family?"

The study was getting closer and closer. Mother Ji did not suspect anything. "When we moved here, Wangshu let us live in this big courtyard and asked Wanting and the others to move to the small courtyard in front."

"How's your life at home?"

Ji's mother hesitated to speak and said, "Every family has its own problems."

"Captain Wang Bei has been appointed to the above position and will arrive soon." Qin Xiuyuan stopped in front of the study as it was getting dark.

Captain Wang is Li Wanting's man, but Ji's mother doesn't hold out much hope, "They all have families."

Father Ji saw his son-in-law stopped in the study and knocked on the door again, "Le Le, are you done writing?"

At this time, a female soldier approached. Qin Xiuyuan walked two steps away, listened to a few words, couldn't bear to admit it, and looked up at the sky.

He subconsciously pinched his thumb and index finger, then released them. "Defend first."

His sister-in-law was still impatient, "I haven't finished writing yet! Leave me alone!"

The heat makes people feel stuffy.

"You go and ask the lady to come over." He made up his mind.

master bedroom.

A bowl of beef porridge, with half a bowl left. Wangshu rubbed his stomach and said, "Let's finish it."

"Ma'am, you're eating less and less."

"It's so hot that I have no appetite."

The female soldier walked all the way to the main room and showed her token.

Wangshu slowly sat up straight and looked at the man. "Go over there? What happened?"

The female soldier didn't dare to look up. "As ordered by the general, please just pass through."

Xiaoqing fetched clothes and clogs, and Wangshu put them on. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Take the two rolls of new cloth with you."

There were four people holding lanterns in front and behind. When they passed the connecting gate, they looked up and saw a bright moon, cold and lonely, and a gentle breeze. It was a good place to cool off.

Arriving at the side house's living room, under the lantern tree, "Dad, Mom."

Ji's father and mother seemed very happy and pulled him to sit down. "Shushu, you don't need to bring anything when you come here!"

"Yes, Dad and Mom have everything they need."

For more than half a year, Wangshu never responded to such greetings. He would just greet his parents by name when they met. His parents looked humble and old under the lamp, and he was both flattering and nervous.

"A new pattern from the South, the silk is very tough."

Ji's mother touched the cloth and covered her mouth while crying.

"Okay, okay." Father Ji agreed for her, "Ask your mother to make you a set."

Qin Xiuyuan sat there without drinking a sip of the tea in front of him. Wangshu slowly sat down and looked at the furnishings in the hall, feeling quite satisfied. "Where's Lele?"

"Ah, he's still studying hard. He's been working a lot harder lately." Father Ji had the final say. "His handwriting is finally starting to look good. It's never too late to learn, no matter how hard it is."

Qin Xiuyuan looked down at Wang Shu with a serious look.

Wangshu stared at him, feeling a sense of unease. She stood up to check the study. It was so dark, and the lights were still on. A few meters outside, maids and guards stood guard—the study had already been cordoned off. She squinted at the ceiling. Perhaps because her nightgown was too dark, or perhaps it was intentional for her to notice, the arrow pointed towards her, a cold glow, then faded, vanishing into the night.

"...Dad, Mom, Shushu wants to eat wontons from Yaocheng."
