Humbly said yes, and left with Mr. Zhou's wave of his hand.

After Steward Chen left, Mr. Zhou's face suddenly fell.He snorted a few times in a low voice, "It's just an aristocratic family, but it's only a few points worse than the royal family."

"Since you are so rich, just come to help me."

In the evening, the maids and servants passing through the hall hurried away.Holding the cooked meal with the lid covered in his hand, he has a serious face and walks back and forth briskly.Occasionally heard a few reprimands.

After a while, the servants stood on both sides in a dignified manner.The maids nodded and stood behind the curtain.

Through a curtain, the Grand Madam of the Yan Mansion and the ladies and ladies in the female seats also heard the Grand Master on the main seat laughing loudly: "Shu'er is back today, Grandpa is very happy. Shu'er and Grandpa drink A glass."

Yan Shu stood up from the second seat on the left, picked up the wine glass, and casually wrote a poem of blessing, which made the old man laugh out loud. "Shu'er has a heart."

After Yan Shu came back, he presented the gift specially found for the Grand Master—the Thousand-Buddha Stone. In addition, Yan Shu was the most proud person in front of the Grand Master, so whatever Yan Shu said could make the Grand Master very happy.

Yan Zheng saw a slight reprimand on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.As long as Yan Shu comes back, father will be happy, whether it is from the consideration of filial piety or the interests of the big house, it is a very good thing.

He picked up a slice of cucumber with ivory chopsticks, and happened to see Yan Qi bowing his head, feeling displeased.A few days ago, I saw that he had improved under Zhou Xu's teaching, and now he is like this again. Let him imitate Yan Shu's appearance when he has time.

Asking Yan Shu to visit Zhou Xu sometime would save Zhou Xu's talent from being wasted.

The second master of the Yan Mansion, Yan Lian, also happened to see the different reactions of the elder brother's two sons, he first said a few words on the scene, but then changed his tone: "Yan Qi, why do you look unhappy when your elder brother is back? "

All eyes on the table were cast on Yan Qi at once.Yan She, the third master of the Yan Mansion's gaze, met his son Yan Si's eyes, and then secretly glanced at the Grand Master, his face was as expected slightly stiff.

Yan Shu looked at Yan Lian all of a sudden, and Yan Lian shrank back as cold as a knife. When Yan Shu's eyes moved to Yan Qi, he no longer felt like a light on his back, and wiped the pimple on his forehead slightly. Sweating, I was secretly surprised that Yan Shu had practiced in Kyoto.

From now on, the Yan Mansion will belong to Yan Shu, so it's better for him not to offend the boss's family.

When the female relatives who were separated by a curtain heard the movement here, they put down their chopsticks one after another, not daring to say anything.Look down at the dish in front of you or do something else.

When the eldest lady heard Yan Qi's name, she frowned slightly. This son should not have been born.Just because of him, I don't know how many times my face has been slapped.Fourth Miss Yan Dai raised her head innocently, and when she saw Mrs. Tai's expression, she quickly lowered her head.

Muttering in her mouth: "Yan Qi shouldn't be on the table." She didn't have any feelings of protection for her biological brother in her heart.

Third Young Miss Yan Jue lowered her head to hide her smile, but she understood clearly in her heart.The third son Yan Qi has never been valued in his life, and he married a "dumb" wife, which is really ridiculous.She thought about herself again, felt a bit of emotion, and looked down at her slender hands, and then suddenly remembered that everything had started again.

A clear voice came from the other side of the curtain: "Third brother has always been like this, big brother, don't worry about it." Yan Zi has always been innocent and ignorant, which makes it difficult for others to say anything.

Yan Shu smiled slightly, "My brother, talk there. When I went to Kyoto, Qi'er just knew how to speak." Yan Qi laughed and talked about some things about Yan Qi's childhood. No matter how he speaks, he still acts cute and cute.Evoke some memories of the old man.

Grandpa recalled Yan Shu's childhood and chatted with Yan Zheng.Yan She wisely interjected a few words, and the table returned to a happy appearance.

On the side of the female relatives, the always coquettish Second Miss, Yan Hua, smiled and nestled in Mrs. Tai's arms, "Second Brother is always like this."

Mrs. Tai smiled and touched her forehead, "It's towards your brother."

The eldest lady also interjected a few words at the right time, and the two sides became more and more happy.

And concubine Wan, who heard her son's words, let go of her worries.She is old, but she can still see the beauty of her youth in her eyebrows and eyes.The fact that she can serve on the table proves how clever she is.

Yan Jue picked out a small piece of cut vegetables, peeked at his own grandma, and secretly made up his mind that he must please her well.As for the concubine who looks disgusted - Yan Dai is the one with the smartest mind.

Yan Shu's welcome banquet was finally over, I don't know how many people ate well and how many people were not feeling well.

The Grand Master asked Yan Shu to rest, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow.After Yan Shu responded, he said a few words to Yan Zheng, delivered the gift, and then returned to the room.Then quietly went to Mr. Zhou's room.

After the banquet was over, Yan Qi hunched his shoulders and waited for the reprimand from his father and mother. After waiting for a long time, he only saw his parents greeting his eldest brother, but he didn't notice his own existence at all.

Yan Qi lowered his head and walked, unexpectedly he walked outside the teacher's yard without anyone noticing.At this time, the teacher is probably already asleep.Looking up at the sky, it was as dark as a ball of black ink.

In this world, probably no one would notice him.

He stood quietly for a while, took a deep breath, and the teacher said that in this way, he would have the strength to move on.After doing this a few times, my mood seems to be getting better.He was about to leave when the maid serving Zhou Xu stopped him, "Third Young Master, Master told you to come in."

Zhou Xu waited for Yan Qi on purpose. Zhou Xu was already asleep at this time. He knew that Yan Qi might be squeezed out when Yan Shu returned home today, so he specially ordered the servant girl to wait. If he saw Yan Qi, call him Come in.If not, preferably not many.

Yan Qi was stunned for a while before asking, "How did the teacher know that I was back?"

Zhou Xu didn't answer, "Let's soak your feet together." Relaxing your muscles is good for relaxing your mood.

Yan Qi sat with some trepidation, he had never done this kind of intimate thing with others, there was a subtle feeling, flowing like a brook singing.

Zhou Xu didn't say anything, and Yan Qi suddenly didn't want to speak, he quietly enjoyed this feeling.Yan Qi secretly put his foot on the back of the teacher's foot, and then secretly removed it. He was a little obsessed with this game.

"The water is getting cold."

"Ah..." Yan Qi yelled, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Zhou Xu laughed out loud, "Okay, okay. I'll just pretend I don't know what you're doing."

Yan Qi blushed a little, feeling a little embarrassed.The image of the teacher in his heart is getting worse and worse, he is too naughty.

Zhou Xu took the cloth and wiped his feet, and dragged the cotton mop specially made by the little maid according to his description, "You can sleep here today, so that you can know what it means to sleep on your feet."

Yan Qi faltered and replied: "Yes."

The little maid stood by the door and bent down laughing all of a sudden.The master is going to tease the third young master again, the third young master looks really fun.

The author has something to say: come and guess the identity of Mr. Zhou, the answer is that he loves to come from a bowl.

Ps, and Yan Jue's identity, it's easy to guess.

58. Yan Family's Famous Emperor Wen

From Zhou Xu's return to the mansion until the end of the year, there were banquets day after day. During this time, the Qing guests of the Yan family invented the game of Cuju, which became very popular in Jiangnan for a while.Cuju is a foot exercise with a lot of activity, and the body can heat up after a little exercise.It has to be said that it is a comforting exercise in the freezing winter.

The Qing Ke of the Yan family accidentally invented the way to play Cuju, which is to use elastic stuff as a filling, and the outside is to be sewn into a ball shape by a seamless Suxiu Niang.Each team has six players at a time, battling each other for the ball and throwing it into a hoop set up suspended in mid-air.Later, it was discovered that the basket was not easy to enter, and the players on the court were also exhausted due to excessive exercise. The world brainstormed to further improve the design and reach perfection.Only the rules set by the Yan Mansion Qingke at that time have not changed.

And Cuju has also become the number one game suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is more applauded than games such as fighting grass, flowing cups of water, and throwing pots.

And because it conforms to the six arts of a gentleman, and also requires the use of resourcefulness to set up tactics, it has the greatest repercussions among students.Even later, when the major academies compared with each other, they not only compared poetry, classics, and arithmetic, but also riding, archery, and Cuju.Cuju especially reflects the team spirit of the academy students, and is even more sought after.It coincided with the time of the imperial examination in Kyoto. After the talented scholars from various prefectures entered the capital, in addition to comparing poems and essays with each other, visiting brothels to compare prostitutes in various prefectures, there was an additional sport of Cuju.

The name of the Yan family Qingke also spread from the south of the Yangtze River to Kyoto along with Cuju.

Yan Shu invited people to play the qin and compose poems, and to talk about archery in Go. He was occasionally invited to make essays, comment on rhyme scores, and explain "Mao Poems".
