Chapter 60 Never Heard

"Who are you looking for?" It was a fledgling servant.

"I'm looking for Jiang Fuyu." Xiao Shilian asked, "Is he at home?"

The servant had never met Xiao Shilian before, "Who are you? What are you looking for with our young master?"

"I'm a classmate of his academy." Xiao Shilian said.

"Hold on."

The boy turned around and went in, Xiao Shilian was waiting outside the door.

Soon the servant came back, and he said to Xiao Shilian, "My son invited you into the house to talk."

He followed the boy to the courtyard where Jiang Fuyu lived.

Jiang Fuyu was waiting in the yard, when the boy said that a classmate from the academy was looking for him outside the door, he guessed who it could be, it was brother Shi Lian.

"Brother Shi Lian, why did you come here?"

"I'm not at ease if you don't come to the academy for a few days."

"Brother Shi Lian, sit down quickly." After greeting Xiao Shilian, he instructed the servant next to him, "Go, make some tea."

"There is something urgent at home, I forgot to tell brother Shi Lian." Jiang Fuyu explained.

"It's good that you're fine." Xiao Shilian replied.

Jiang Fuyu was in a very happy mood, "I didn't expect Brother Shi Lian to care about me so much."

Xiao Shilian couldn't stand Jiang Fuyu's enthusiasm.

"Since Brother Fu Yu is fine, I will take my leave."

"Brother Shi Lian is leaving so soon, I haven't had a sip of this tea yet."

"There are still things at home."

"Since brother Shi Lian still has something to do at home, then I won't force him to stay."

"Farewell."

Sending Xiao Shilian out of the house, he didn't turn back until the tail of the Xiao family's carriage was no longer in sight.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Xiao Mansion.

After going to see his mother, he went back to his house.

When Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Shili heard that he was back, they stepped in.

After sitting down, Xiao Shili handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Shilian.

"Brother, this was sent by my father yesterday."

Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand to take it, and there were only nine words in his father's letter: The government is complicated, so be cautious in your words and deeds.

"Brother, what does father mean by this?" Xiao Shiyi had the courage of a man, without the strategy of a wise man, and could only understand the most straightforward words.

"I'm afraid the situation in the court is not good." Xiao Shili looked sad, and said to Xiao Shilian who looked down at the letter, "Father may have been involved."

Xiao Shiyi was confused when he heard this, "Big brother, third brother, what happened in the court, and where did father get involved?"

The letter in his hand was swallowed by the flames and turned into ashes.

"Shi Yi," Xiao Shilian said to him, "you are always reckless in doing things without any scruples, and the most important thing is to keep father's words in your heart."

Although he was still confused, Xiao Shilian nodded, "I understand, brother."

They also couldn't understand the affairs of the court in detail. Since their father was dismissed, they have been cautious.

It's just that the Holy Majesty has not yet appointed a crown prince, but has appointed a prince first. The ministers in the court each have their own candidates for the appointment of a crown prince. Although the frontier seems to be peaceful now, it is actually undercurrents.

"I won't talk about it beforehand." Xiao Shilian said, "Just remember what my father said."

Xiao Shiyi didn't like to hear these things at all, and whenever his elder brother and third younger brother talked about these court affairs with his father, he got a headache.

He looked around the room, "Brother, where is your rabbit?"

"Second Young Master, the rabbits are here." Qin Sa brought in the bamboo cage containing the two rabbits.

Xiao Shiyi stretched his hand into the cage and teased the rabbits, "I hunted two new ones there, and I'll send them over later to be companions of these two."

However, Xiao Shilian remembered the cat, tiger and beast that Shen Tu had mentioned in the academy the day before yesterday, so he asked, "Shi Yi, you often go hunting in the mountains, have you ever seen a cat, tiger and beast?"

"What kind of beast is a cat tiger?" Xiao Shiyi shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Even Shi Yi had never heard of it, how could she have met him?
Xiao Shiyi became curious, "Where did the elder brother hear about this cat tiger beast?"

Xiao Shilian would never say that it was the fifth girl from the Qi family who said it, but only said, "I overheard someone talking about it."

West courtyard.

Qiqiao hurriedly said, "Miss, Hongyan has gone to work for Chef Yang."

Shen Tu was flipping through the storybook, and asked absently, "Which Hongyan?"

"Second Miss' maid, Hongyan.

Shen Tu didn't think there was anything strange about it, "What kind of work does she do for Chef Yang? Could it be that Chef Yang has researched some new and strange dim sum?"

Seeing that Shen Tu hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter, Qiqiao became a little anxious, "After Hongyan was beaten up by the second lady, she was sent to the kitchen to wash dishes and chop firewood."

Only then did Shen Tu move his eyes away from the script, "Beat hard?"

Qiqiao nodded.

"How do you know she was beaten by the second sister?"

"As soon as I went to the back kitchen, I saw Hongyan crying behind the stone mill." Qiqiao described in detail, "Hongyan's forehead and the corners of her mouth are broken, her face is swollen, and she can still clearly see the finger prints. !"

"I don't know what this Hongyan did to make Second Miss beat her up like this."

"Hongyan personally told you that the wound on her body was caused by the second sister?"

"That's not true. I also heard what Aunt Liu said."

Aunt Liu washes and cuts vegetables for Chef Yang. This man has a vitriolic look. He likes to chew his tongue most on weekdays. She can even call the white ones black.

The little maid has a pure personality, she will believe what others say, and she will suffer a big loss sooner or later.

"Seeing is believing," she said.

Qiqiao realized that she had made a mistake again, "Understood, miss, I will definitely not listen to Mrs. Liu's nonsense next time."

"Ah."

The next day.

"Eldest Young Master, someone outside the house is looking for you, Eldest Young Master."

"Who?" Xiao Shiyi asked.

The servant in charge of guarding the gate of the mansion shook his head, "It's a woman."

woman?

Xiao Shiyi's sleepy head suddenly came to life.

Xiao Shilian stood up, "Shi Yi, you continue to study, I'll go out and have a look."

"Brother, I will accompany you." He wanted to know who the woman was.

"You study hard."

The eldest brother was fine yesterday, but today he must read and write. He only loves the bow and arrow, not the pen and paper.

But the elder brother didn't allow it, and he didn't dare to move rashly, even though he was still sitting here, his mind was already glued to the elder brother, he wished he could put his own eyes on the elder brother, and tell him to see who the woman was.

Seeing that it was Shen Tu, he seemed a little surprised.

"Why did you come?"

"You're coming back today, of course I know."

It was inconvenient to speak standing outside the door, so Xiao Shilian took her to his small courtyard.

Xiao Shiyi's eyes were fixed on the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw his eldest brother bring a woman back, he knocked the inkstone to the ground in astonishment.

Who is this woman?
Xiao Shiyi blinked vigorously, this woman...why does she look so familiar?

Shen Tu also saw Xiao Shiyi, this big stupid man was actually reading and writing, didn't the sun rise from the west today?

Xiao Shiyi pointed at Shen Tu, and even said "You are..." several times but didn't say anything, his face flushed red.
