The Chu family's capital was not abundant, and all the family property added up was not as large as that under the management of Chu Yi's father, not to mention that Chu Yi still had his mother's dowry.

Originally, Chu Sheng was not happy when he said that Dafang's assets should be divided among Chu Yi and Yu's family, and if Chu Yi's original assets were divided into half, Yu's would be even more unhappy.

The Chu family did not have a separate family. Since Chu Sheng's salary was handed over to the public office, the assets run by his elder brother should also be included in the public office.

But no matter how dissatisfied she was, she did not dare to object too violently when her husband insisted on doing it and her parents-in-law did not object. She could only express her dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, Chu Yi is still young, and all his assets are still in the public house and jointly managed by the Chu family. It was an accident that Chu Yi was abducted. When Yu Shi suddenly heard the news, he was also shocked, and quickly sent someone to look for it.

At that time, what she thought was that her husband was away on business, and she was the head of the house. If she came back and found out that she had lost her nephew, she would not know how to be angry.

But after searching all night and failing to find it, the restlessness in her heart gradually subsided, and she couldn't help but think more deeply.

Mrs. Yu knows best what it means for a child to be lost in the busy city and not be found all night. She knew that it would be very difficult to find Chu Yi again, so would she still look for it?

If Chu Yi doesn't come back, her son will inherit all the assets of the Chu family.

So in just one night, Yu's attitude changed a hundred and eighty degrees. Before dawn, she prayed to God to bless Chu Yi, hoping that they could find Chu Yi as soon as possible; but after dawn, she hoped that the trafficker who abducted Chu Yi would go away. The farther away, the better, so far away that they can't find it in their entire lives.

Obviously he has been missing for more than a month, and obviously there has been no news for more than a month, how could Chu Yi also appear when Chu Sheng came back?

What made her even more unacceptable was that her husband actually moved Chu Yi to live outside, and went to the Yamen to notarize Chu Yi's property. Who was this to guard against?

Whenever Yu Shi thought about how her neighbors and friends would talk about her, she trembled with anger. She moved a chair and blocked the gate by herself, waiting for Chu Sheng to give her an explanation.

When Chu Sheng came home, he saw his wife sighed slightly like this, waved his subordinates, walked up to his wife and looked directly into her angry eyes, "Brother Yi was seriously injured when he was sent back to the capital. The portrait of Brother Yi, the family members will not miss Brother Yi if they go to the Yamen for snacks. If Mr. Gu is not kind and kind to him, we will never see Brother Yi. "

Yu's face turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly and said, "Could the Ministry of Punishment see him die from serious injuries?"

"Of course the Ministry of Punishments won't, but what kind of doctor and medicine can you hire him? No matter how good it is in the yamen, is it better than at home?"

Yu became angry and said, "How much do you think he would appreciate you? Mr. Mrs., if he really cared about his family, he wouldn't stay in Gu's family for more than a month without sending someone home to say that he is blaming you, even if it's like this Are you still willing to repay grievances with virtue?"

Chu Sheng's expression was light, and he said coldly: "I'm not repaying grievances with kindness. No matter how Brother Yi treats me, I give him what he deserves. If he has complaints, he will repay them directly; if he has no grievances, I can only repay kindness with straightness. I don’t have the ability to do so with kindness.”

Seeing her husband's indifferent appearance, Yu felt angry and resentful, tears streaming down her face involuntarily, "Who am I doing this for, and not for you and the child..."

Chu Sheng shook his head and interrupted her words: "You are not for me and my children. My children and I don't have high demands. My salary and current family property are enough. We are satisfied and don't need you to work hard for us. If you really have a heart, you might as well think about how to run the farm shop at home, this is the right way."

Yu Shi was so angry that he fell on his back and fell to the ground in a faint.

Chu Sheng's eyes widened, he hugged his wife, and shouted in panic: "Come here, call the doctor quickly..."

Because Chu Yi was injured, the Chu family greeted the doctor from the nearby Renxin Hall, and they quickly brought one in.

The doctor said, "The patient is short of breath and needs to rest. Don't get angry again."

Chu Sheng: ...he just reasoned with her calmly, why is she so angry?

Two people fell down at home, and Chu Sheng ran back and forth to take care of him. He lost weight in a few days, but the benefits were obvious.

After waking up, Mrs. Yu seemed to think about it, and stopped talking about the family property with him, and the family was much quieter.

Yu Shi: ... She just has nothing to love, and she doesn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

No one cares what Mrs. Yu thinks, the property has been notarized in the Yamen, and Chu Yi can inherit it only when he turns sixteen. But with Chu Sheng around, Mrs. Yu couldn't touch Chu Yi.

Mother Chu, who has always been confused, continued to be confused. She really thought that her son sent her grandson to live outside so that his grandson could be admitted to Qingxi Academy. slack.

Chu Yi buried himself in his studies, but he was young, and there were always some puzzles in reading, and it was impossible for the second uncle to answer him every day, and some of the answers of the second uncle always made him feel that he had not reached the end.

At this time, it was beneficial for him to live next to Qingxi Academy. When he went out, he turned left and walked slowly for a quarter of an hour to the gate of Qingxi Academy, and then sat and waited at the door. Ask questions that you have accumulated.

Under normal circumstances, Mr. Gu will answer his questions, and when he is happy, he will give him two homework assignments and guide him on the books to read next.

Only when Mr. Gu is busy will he accept his questions and answer them later.

This style of answering questions is very rare among gentlemen, because gentlemen always hold their own identities, and few of them are willing to answer some "childish" questions of students, especially students from the outer courtyard.

Chu Yi yearns for Qingxi Academy, more precisely, for Gu Jingyun.

When his legs were completely healed and he could run and jump, he finally couldn't help but said to the second uncle who came to check his homework routinely: "Second uncle, I want to be Mr. Gu's disciple."

Chu Sheng was taken aback, put down his homework and said silently: "There are many students in the world who want to be his disciples."

Chu Yi blushed, and whispered, "I didn't want to be Mr. Gu's disciple because he was the emperor's teacher, but because of Mr. Gu's knowledge and character."

Chu Sheng was silent for a while, and finally said: "Since you have this heart, go work hard. Although the second uncle and Mr. Gu are colleagues, we are not in the same department, and our identities are also very different. There is no friendship. You You can only rely on yourself."

Chu Yi didn't expect that the second uncle didn't stop him, but encouraged him instead. He became excited, and said with bright eyes: "I will definitely work hard, sincerity is as good as gold and stone, maybe Mr. Gu will be willing to accept me?"

Chu Yi made up his mind and stopped hesitating. The next day, he went to wait in front of Gu's mansion (he can run around when his legs and feet are back anyway), and followed Gu Jingyun by the convenience of asking questions.

Pour water for Gu Jingyun's tea and help with some errands.

Gu Jingyun knew what he was going to do when he grabbed Qu Jingxi's job, so he just glanced at him and didn't refuse, but didn't say anything, took a sip of the teacup silently.

Seeing Chu Yi dangling in front of her eyes for three days in a row, Li Baolu finally asked belatedly, "Why does Chu Yi come to our house so often recently?"

Gu Jingyun said with a slight smile: "If you want something, you will come here often."

Li Baolu asked curiously, "Didn't his second uncle arrange everything for him? What else could he ask of you?"

Gu Jingyun smiled faintly, and pointed at Zhao Ning and Qu Jingxi who were in the yard.

Today is the winter solstice, Zhao Ning and Yan Yuanniang came to see the ceremony with presents, and stayed in Gu's mansion for dinner. At this time, Zhao Ning was talking to Qu Jingxi. plum.

Li Baolu looked at Zhao Ning and Qu Jingxi along his fingers, suddenly realized, "Do you want to take him?"

Gu Jingyun shook his head slightly, "Look at his good fortune."

At least for now he is unmoved.

Li Baolu felt that he was too embarrassing for other people's children, so he accepted it if he wanted to, and just refused if he didn't want to, why bother to hang on to others?

But Gu Jingyun has always been smarter than her and has seen farther than her. Maybe he has a deep meaning in this?

So she didn't interrupt rashly, and watched him train and test Chu Yi silently.

Seeing that Baolu loves flowers, Gu Jingyun vacated an open space in the garden to build a greenhouse, intending to grow flowers in it, so that Baolu can plant whatever flowers she wants in the future, without waiting for the palace and the Qin government to send them over.

The greenhouse was only built this winter, and there are no ready-made flower seeds, so the greenhouse is temporarily idle. Li Baolu felt that it was a waste of time, so she took a hoe to loosen the ground and plant some fruits and vegetables.

An An excitedly swayed and followed behind her mother's buttocks. As disciples, Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi naturally had to follow behind the teacher and contribute, so Gu Jingyun also leisurely followed.

Chu Yi, who arrived on a routine day, also followed.

Then Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu stood at the door of the greenhouse with their hands folded, instructing the three majors and the small ones to hoe and pull weeds, collect the land, and fertilize the soil.

Needless to say, An An, she exists to cause trouble, and Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu let her cause trouble for the three older children.

As for the three of Qu Weizhen, except for Qu Weizhen who can do farm work, both Qu Jingxi and Chu Yi are novices, and Chu Yi is even inferior to Qu Jingxi.

Although Qu Jingxi doesn't know how to do farm work, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she learns quickly. Chu Yi is much clumsier, but he is studying very seriously.

The three older children finally divided the land into three parts under the persistence of a younger child.

Then mix the collected cow dung, chicken manure, pig manure, etc. into the soil, and then sprinkle water to fertilize.

Li Baolu threw a booklet to each of them, and said with a smile: "I have decided temporarily that the flower house will not grow flowers, and I will plant the land for you in the future. It is right to do your homework."

Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi: "..."

Chu Yi hugged the notebook excitedly and thought to himself, is he a recognized disciple?
