Farming and reading family

I used to think that was the behavior of Mrs. Chen, a lady from a noble family, but now I think it is more like an actor immersed in the stage.

Jin Ruyi was also shocked, thinking of Gao E saying that what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

"Are you sure?" Gao E looked at Lu Hao.

"I'm not sure. When the Chen family returned to Hexian County, they didn't bring any elderly people with them, so I have no way to verify it." Lu Hao spread his hands.

"Now you all know how to study it." Gao E joked.

"Of course." Lu Hao felt a surge of pride in his heart. "Otherwise, how can I live up to my name?"

"There's a name?" Gao E wondered if Lu Hao was doing anything weird.

"Don't the books say so?" Lu Hao said seriously, "There are people in the martial arts world who know everything. Even though they don't have any martial arts skills, martial arts masters still respect them."

Gao E thought about the books she gave to Lu Hao. Her original intention was to help him learn more words and it would be good for him to read. He actually found his life goal.

"What about the son of Mr. Chen, the richest man?" Gao E brought the topic back.

"That must be Mr. Chen's." Lu Hao was very sure. "Mr. Chen was born in He County. His wet nurse and maid can prove it."

"I mean, what's their relationship like as father and son?" Gao E corrected her question.

"Mr. Chen dotes on his son so much that he's afraid he'll melt if he holds him in his mouth, and afraid he'll drop him if he holds him in his hands. When his son was one month old, he gave red eggs to all the beggars in He County, and when his son was one year old, he held a three-day buffet for everyone to enjoy." Lu Hao spoke like he knew all about his son.

Gao E thought that Lu Hao was now a know-it-all, and her money was not wasted: "What else?"

"Oh." Lu Hao suddenly remembered, "The Chen family never hired an opera troupe. It might be because of Madam Chen."

Gao E nodded.

Lu Hao gave her a lot of useful information.

"There's one more thing." Lu Hao said uncertainly.

"What's the matter?" Gao E thought that He County had been quite peaceful recently.

"Lord He may be promoted." Lu Hao said uncertainly.

"Huh?" Gao E was surprised.

How long has He Tangchun been in He County? Why is he being promoted before his term is even completed?

"I heard from those yamen runners that fast horses from the capital came to congratulate you, and many people from other yamen also came to congratulate you." Lu Hao was very sure.

Gao E was a little suspicious: "I know."

She subconsciously wanted to go to Tao Meiyu to ask about it, but when she thought about what would happen if Tao Meiyu suspected that she was staring at He Tangchun, she gave up the idea.

If this is true, Tao Meiyu will definitely leave with He Tangchun and say goodbye to her at that time.

Gao E thought that she had never been so attentive to her own sons, so she went to buy things that her sons liked after leaving Lu Hao. She couldn't let her sons be outdone by others.

In fact, she also knew that her sons respected her more than they loved her. After all, the original owner thought it was great to have many sons, and she didn't think about how to raise them at all. She just left them to the wet nurse as soon as they were born, so that the children who longed for maternal love were cautious in front of her.

This was her first time being a mother, especially to a child this old, so she had no experience.

"Aren't you going to bring something for Jin Chao?" Gao E looked at Jin Ruyi who was doing nothing.

"Aren't you buying his too?" Jin Ruyi asked back.

Gao E was speechless: "The ones my mother bought are different. Don't tell me you don't know what Jin Chao likes."

"He likes the preserved fruits from Xiang Siji in Beijing." Jin Ruyi said directly.

"Just pretend I didn't ask." Gao E didn't want to pay attention to Jin Ruyi.

Jin Ruyi laughed and said, "You've also discovered that Jin Chao is not a person with a gluttonous appetite, so don't worry."

"Don't ignore your child when he needs you, and then when he no longer needs you, you feel that you have to do something for him," Gao E reminded.

When Jin Ruyi heard Gao E say this, she thought of Ye Linchuan. She had to get rid of this trouble for her child. It would be bad if Jin Chao entered the officialdom in the future and Ye Linchuan wanted to use this to blackmail Jin Chao.

Gao E didn't expect that Jin Ruyi had a big plan in her mind just because of her casual words.

After buying some things, the two of them went back to Baotou Village together. Jin Ruyi drove the car, while Gao E kept thinking about Chen Tao.

Gao E didn't really care what happened in the Chen family. She was wondering what kind of environment made Chen Tao have such a personality.

Chen Tao was very well-behaved when Luo Dagang was staring at him. He knew that Luo Dagang was very powerful and would really beat him.

I ate lunch obediently at noon, and sat bored on the threshold of the main hall, holding my chin and watching He wash clothes. Suddenly I found that He was washing clothes with warm water. I thought that Aunt Gao would definitely scold her when she came back.

Thinking of this, Chen Tao inexplicably looked forward to Gao's return to see her angry look.

When Luo Dagang heard the sound of the carriage, he went out immediately. Jin Ruyi jumped off the carriage and handed the reins to Luo Dagang.

"Help me move the things." Gao E came out of the carriage.

As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Chen Tao running out excitedly. He lifted his foot and then retracted it without stepping over the threshold.

"Come back soon and take a look. Your servants are washing clothes with hot water." There was a hint of provocation in Chen Tao's eyes.

Gao E didn't expect Chen Tao to complain: "Why don't you use hot water to wash clothes in such a cold weather?"

"You don't know how expensive firewood is now." Chen Tao thought he was giving a kind reminder.

Gao E came into the yard carrying several large bags of snacks: "What's the matter?"

Chen Tao was stunned: "She is a servant."

Gao E looked at Chen Tao: "She is just a person who works in my house. I need her to work, and she needs this job to support herself."

Chen Tao took it for granted that servants were servants, and found it incredible to hear Gao E say this.

"If you don't want Aunt He to wash your clothes with hot water, you can wash them yourself with cold water." Gao E said and left.

Chen Tao stood there in a daze, and He secretly glanced at Chen Tao.

When Jin Ruyi passed by Chen Tao, he patted him on the head and said, "Boy, why don't you learn something else but to tell tales?"

Chen Tao was a little angry, but looked at He with guilt.

Gao E placed the things on the table and nodded, then opened a bag of preserved fruit and gave it to Luo Qing'er: "Don't let Xiao Wu eat it."

Luo Qing'er held Xiaowu away from the preserved fruits. Xiaowu now wanted to take a bite of everything.

Seeing that Chen Tao hadn't followed in, Jin Ruyi touched Gao E's arm and whispered, "Have you figured out how to deal with him?"

"Let's do this for now." Gao E hadn't thought it through yet.

When the children came back in the evening, Gao E distributed things to them while Chen Tao watched from the side.

He knew that among the children of the Chen family, some were Aunt Gao's biological children, and some were servants', but they were always divided in the same way.

"Chen Tao." Gao E called out.

"I won't eat that." Chen Tao said proudly.

The children looked at Chen Tao and said nothing.

Gao E didn't intend to deliberately make Chen Tao familiar with the children at home. After all, the temperament he had formed since childhood could not be changed overnight.

In the evening, other children were reviewing their lessons, but Chen Tao was even more bored and walked back and forth in front of the main hall.

"Do you miss your sister?" Gao E asked Chen Tao suddenly.
