“Before big brother left, he had already helped second brother arrange everything,” Xu lingyue said.
Second sister-in-law said, “Erlang was born in Yun Lu Academy and is extremely talented. It’s just that in the officialdom, being well-versed in interpersonal relationships is an important matter, while interpersonal relationships are built on silver.” But it doesn’t matter. Eunuch has already arranged these things.”
“There’s still a 10% bonus from the chicken essence workshop that big brother left behind in the residence,” Xu lingyue said.”lt’s a good 10000 taels of income every year.”
“Younger sister, you’re not married yet, right? let me introduce you to a few young and talented men from top-notch family backgrounds,” the eldest sister-in-law said.
“Thank you, sister-in-law,” Xu lingyue said, “it’s enough to have half of big brother’s ability.”
The sister-in. law was speechless.
After a round of fighting, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law lost.
They suddenly realized that the Wang family didn’t seem to have much of an advantage over the Xu family in terms of wealth, connections, and prominent families.
His sense of superiority suddenly disappeared.
Idiot … Wang simu shook her head discreetly.
The two sisters-in-law had been influenced by Xu lingyue. Whenever they showed off their superiority, Xu lingyue would mention Xu Qi ‘an. It was obviously a comparison of the overall strength of the Wang family and the Xu family.
The harmless-looking Xu lingyue had been compared to the Wang family and Xu Qi ‘an.
Can they compare?
However, the two sisters-in-law were confused by Xu lingyue’s appearance and thought that they had the overall situation under control and there was no problem. They were speechless one after another because the Wang family was indeed not comparable to the Xu family.
At this moment, a bell-like laughter came from outside the house.
Suddenly, a boy and a girl ran in.
The boy had a strong head and was wearing a silk robe and a fox fur hat. His skin was slightly dark and he was about ten years old.
The girl, on the other hand, was pink and cute. She had a round face and big eyes. One look and one could tell that she was a beauty. She was about seven years old.
“Grandmother!”
The two children stopped smiling and said respectfully.
“It’s brother Hao and sister die.”
A smile appeared on Madam Wang’s face as she beckoned a pair of children to her side.
“These are my big brother’s children,” Wang simu took the opportunity to introduce them.
Xu lingyue nodded.
The two children sat down beside Madam Wang. The girl’s dark eyes sized up the chubby children of the same age.
The boy was also scrutinizing this strange little girl.
The sister-in-law’s eyes lit up. Aiya! she said unhappily,”Hao ‘er, die’ er, quickly say hello to your sister.”
The two children immediately greeted Xu linging.
Xu lingying was engrossed in eating the pastries, dried fruits, and candied fruits, immersed in her own world.
She was dumb and pouting … The two sisters-in-law secretly shook their heads.
Madam Wang’s face showed a hint of a smile.
I haven’t asked yet, ” the sister-in-law asked with a smile. has miss Ling Ying been enlightened? ‘
Xu lingyue shook her head and said softly, ” not yet. Lingying is stupid. She can’t even memorize the three-character classic. It’s useless to send her to school.
The smile on the sister-in-law’s face became more obvious.
“That won’t do. Although we women don’t need to take the exam, we must be proficient in the four Arts. I think we can send sister Ling Ying to our Wang family’s private school.”
Madam Wang nodded and said with a pleasant expression, “”Every month, you have two days to study with the Prince and listen to the Grand Tutor’s teachings.”
“Cough cough …”
Wang simu choked on her tea and coughed until tears came out.
“What’s wrong?” Madam Wang looked at her daughter.
“Mr. Zhang and the Grand Tutor are old …. Wang si mu said softly.
So, mother, please let them go.
“Alright!”
“Thank you, Mrs. Wang,” Xu lingyue said with a sweet smile.
After a pause, Xu lingyue continued. actually, lingying has been practicing martial arts recently, so she has neglected her homework. I also think that she should study more and learn more words.
“Practicing martial arts?”
All the women in the room had ‘this is very vulgar’ expressions on their faces. Martial artists were vulgar, and women who learned martial arts were vulgar among vulgar.
The dark-skinned Wang Hao’s eyes lit up. He stood up and glared at Xu lingying.
“You also practice martial arts? Let’s have a fight.”
The boy’s suggestion was immediately rejected by his mother. His sister-in-law reprimanded him, ” don’t talk nonsense. You’re a good seedling.
Miss lingying is different from you. Aren’t you bullying her? ”
He turned to Xu lingyue and said, ” Hao ‘er’s root bone is not bad. The guest elder in the residence praised him as a good seedling, so he took him in as a disciple. The eunuch also said that practicing martial arts can strengthen one’s body. It’s a good thing. In the future, Hao ‘er will be well-versed in both literature and martial arts.”
His tone was filled with pride.
“My sister only has a bit of strength left,” Xu lingyue said with her head lowered.
He looked very inferior.
Wang Hao usually couldn’t find an opponent of the same age as him, and it was rare for him to find one. He said anxiously,
“Grandmother, I know what I’m doing. Let me compete with her. If you’re afraid that I’ll hurt her, you can ask the guards to take care of her.”
Madam Wang still felt that it wasn’t appropriate and was about to refuse when she heard Xu lingyue say, “”Alright, ” he said.
Eh? Madam Wang looked at her and said, ‘”‘That’s fine.”
He immediately got the maidservant to call a guard over.
Wang Hao and Xu lingying left the house and went to the yard.
Xu lingyue, Wang simu, his two sisters-in-law, and Madam Wang were all wearing cloaks and standing under the roof to watch.
The middle-aged guard held his saber with one hand and examined the two children. “Before the competition, let me test your strength.”
“Move the stool,” he said, pointing to the stone bench at the side.
Children were playing house, and to him, there was no such thing as swords having no eyes. However, to be safe, it was better to test his strength first.
If the difference was too great, there was no need to compete.
Wang Hao led the way to the stone table. He bent down and hugged the stone stool beside the table. With a loud shout, he picked up the stool.
His little face was flushed red and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He took ten steps before he was exhausted.. During the process, Madam Wang kept shouting, ‘
