Chapter 167: Going Home

Whether it is the Xiao family or the Luo family, they are both eye-catching families in Bianliang City. In addition to the public attention, there are also unknown how many people are paying attention secretly.

This time, Erlang of the Xiao family and Sanlang of the Luo family went to Tianmen Village first, and then to Dingbian Town. No matter where they were, they made a lot of noise. This made people who didn't pay much attention to these two younger generations also mention it.

Interest in these two people. In the past, Erlang of the Xiao family only had the reputation of being a good scholar, and Sanlang of the Luo family was a well-known playboy in the capital. Everyone paid attention to them only because of their father.

But this time, these two juniors made people look at them with admiration.

These two men were responsible for most of the matters related to the recovery of Hengshan Party items! Whether it was Ma Xing's memorial or Xiao Ding's own memorial, these two men were spared no effort in praising them.

Xiao Cheng is happy to see things like this come to fruition. After all, there are several major exams this year, and he needs greater fame to boost his reputation.

The exams at this time are like this. Famous people always have to take advantage. In the eyes of ordinary people, these people should deserve it if they pass the exam. If they don't, well, is there any shady story here?

, are you being suppressed by someone? All kinds of rumors will inevitably spread. Most people really can't bear such discussions.

Furthermore, both Xiao and Luo have done practical things this time. For those who really hold power in the court, officials who can do practical things are what they value most. Their excellent performance is of great significance to the two of them.

It will definitely be a bonus for the next exam.

While people were still far away from Bianliang, the news from Beijing had already reached their ears.

Xiao Cheng was a little better. In the past, there were very few people who were compatible with him in Beijing. But Luo Gang was different. He had a lot of friends. In order to avoid making too much noise when entering the city, Xiao Cheng made a loud noise that made people laugh.

, the group of people immediately accelerated, traveling day and night, forcibly advancing the arrival time by one day, and calculating the time accurately. The moment they arrived at Bianliang City, the sky had already darkened, and there were very few pedestrians on the road.

Of course, the city is still lively, and Bianliang’s night has always been a grand sight.

After entering the city quietly, the two groups of people split up and went back to their homes.

When Xiao Yu received the news, he was stunned for a moment. Didn't it mean that the genius had arrived home?

"Bachelor, Erlang and Third Lady will be at the door of the mansion soon." The wrinkles on Xu Wuyan's face were all relaxed, and he smiled until there was only a slit left in his eyes.

Xiao Yu snorted, "What? Do you still need me to greet them? Do they deserve it?"

Xu Wuyan only smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Yu finally couldn't stand it any longer. He said nothing, but still stepped out with one leg. This was not a question of whether he deserved it or not, but that he really missed his son and girl.

Since the two of them were born, they have never been apart from him for such a long time. This is the first time they have not spent the New Year together, how could they not want to?

Stepping out of the door of the lobby, I heard footsteps again. When I turned around to look, I saw the madam walking over quickly with the help of the girl. Looking at the madam's appearance, her face was flushed, it was obvious that she had trotted over from behind.

, arrived at the front yard, and then slowed down.

"Madam, please slow down, these two unfilial sons will definitely try to stir up family troubles this time!" Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support Madam.

Mrs. Han rolled her eyes at him, and then her eyes fell on the side door.

Of course it is impossible to open the door.

Naturally, it was impossible for Xiao Yu and Mrs. Han to actually go out.

The side door opened wide, and Xiao Cheng stepped in first. Behind him, Xiao Yi followed closely with his head lowered.

"Father, Madam, we are back." Seeing Xiao Yu and Mrs. Han standing on the steps, Xiao Cheng pulled Xiao Min, and the two hurriedly took a few steps, knelt on the ground with a bang, and said sincerely

Kowtow repeatedly.

Xiao Yu still maintained his airs, nodded, and snorted in his nostrils, but Mrs. Han couldn't help it. Seeing that the side door had been closed, the people standing in the yard now were all members of her own family, and there was still a lot of dignity there.

Being able to keep up with the mistress, she walked down the steps in a few steps and pulled Xiao Yi up. She held Xiao Yi's little face in her hands and looked at her carefully.

"Mom, I'm fine!" Xiao Yi said with tears in her eyes.

Before entering the door, I kept thinking that this time I was afraid that my mother would be furious when she saw me, and I would take care of myself, but I never expected that it would be such a scene.

Speaking of which, when Xiao Yi was at home, she was always more afraid of her mother than her father. Her father was always kind in her eyes. This feeling was exactly the opposite of Xiao Cheng. Xiao Yu was extremely strict with Xiao Cheng.

, Mrs. Han, on the other hand, has always been caring, kind, and sometimes even polite to Xiao Cheng.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Mrs. Han looked over it carefully and finally felt relieved. However, when she thought of her delicate daughter trudging all the way in the windy and snowy weather, she must have suffered a lot.

, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. Naturally, this anger could not be spread on Xiao Yi. He turned his head and glared at Xiao Cheng fiercely.

When Xiao Yi escaped last year, if Xiao Cheng hadn't secretly helped him, how could Xiao Yi have escaped from his Wuzhishan?

Xiao Cheng understood the meaning of this glance, so he laughed a few times and said: "Father, eldest lady, there are many people outside, please talk inside the room!"

Mrs. Han looked at the people in the yard, nodded, and led Xiao Min into the house.

"Mom, I knitted this with my own hands." Opening a box, Xiao Ao took out pieces of hand-knitted woolen clothes, gloves, socks, and hats as if she were offering treasures. "The thread was spun by my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Han's eyes started to moisten as she touched these clothes. The girl finally became sensible. She must have suffered a lot to weave so many things stitch by stitch in such a cold weather.

. He held his daughter's hand and stroked it gently. It turned out to be much rougher than last year, and for a moment he felt even more distressed.

"There are Zhi Niangs at home, so what do we need you to do?"

"Second brother said this is different." Xiao Ai said with a smile: "Second brother said that my mother will be warmer if she wears something I knitted by myself!"

"He's not afraid of tiring you!" Mrs. Han glanced at Xiao Cheng again, "How did you make this wool thread so soft?"

Naturally, there are also such clothes for sale in the market in Bianliang, but they are basically only worn by people with poor families. The main reason is that the thread spun from wool is extremely rough and even has a smell.

No one with any wealth would wear such clothes.

Madam Han had not noticed this before, but now she realized that the thing in her hand was as soft as natural fur. When she put it between her nose and smelled it, a faint fragrance came from it.

"It seems that it was processed in the workshop run by the second brother over there. When I got the thread, it looked like this." Xiao Ai glanced at the second brother on the other side who was talking to his father. "There's more.

, the patterns on these clothes were all taught to me by my second brother, who is so amazing, he even knows how to knit clothes!"

Mrs. Han was a little dumbfounded, looking at the various patterns on these woven clothes, and asked: "Did your second brother teach you?"

"Yes, my second brother also taught my sister-in-law. During that time, my sister-in-law and I taught these acupuncture techniques to the women in Guangrui Army. Now many of them know how to do it." Xiao Aio looked slightly interested.

Mrs. Han was silent for a long time and then said: "A scholar who doesn't study seriously and does all these unseemly things looks like he really wants to be beaten."

"Second brother did a lot of things over there!" Xiao Min said quickly: "These little things are just what he taught us when he was free."

Mrs. Han snorted and walked towards Xiao Yu and his son holding a piece of clothing.

When the two saw Mrs. Han walking over, they stopped talking. Xiao Cheng stood up and bowed slightly.

"You don't teach such good things to the family workshop, but give them to those unrelated people in Dingbian City. How generous of you!" Mrs. Han handed the woolen clothes in her hand to Xiao Yu and looked at her with dissatisfaction.

To Xiao Cheng: "Since you have a way to make the wool thread so soft and in such good condition, you should have taught it to your family's workshop early on and produced the finished product. You will definitely be able to sell it at a good price in Bianliang!"

The Xiao family has a large business. In addition to the farm, there are also workshops and shops. These matters have always been taken care of by Mrs. Han, and Xiao Yu ignores them.

Speaking of maintaining the normal operation of the Xiao family and maintaining the dignity of Bianliang, it is absolutely impossible to make less than one or two hundred thousand yuan a year. Under the circumstances that Xiao Yu does not want to be corrupt, Mrs. Han still has to put in a lot of effort to do so.

Do it all.

"I just came up with this over there. A group of craftsmen have been experimenting with it for a long time!" Xiao Cheng quickly explained, "If I find it useful, I will write it down and give it to Grandpa Xu later."

"If there are any good things left, don't hide them anymore, take them out!" Mrs. Han shouted: "You are an adult now, it's time to contribute to the family."

"It's really gone now. I'll definitely tell the eldest lady if I think of it later!" Xiao Cheng said quickly.

Xiao Yu on the side said dissatisfiedly: "Madam, don't be obsessed with money. Cheng'er is about to take part in the imperial examination and the Jinshi examination. He has to put his time on studying! This is the next step for our Xiao family.

event."

Mrs. Han pursed her lips, Xiao Yu was not a family member and didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were. Besides, the whole family wanted to take advantage of money. Is there anyone more suitable than him as the Third Secretary?
