Mrs. Tai is really rich

Chapter 43 Extra Story: Xie Haowen's Boyhood

"There is fat meat in the kitchen, there are fat horses in the stables, the people are hungry, and there are hungry scorpions in the wild. They lead beasts to eat people. Beasts eat each other, and people hate them; as parents of the people, government officials cannot help leading beasts to eat people. The evil lies in the fact that they are the parents of the people! Zhong Ni said: "The one who started the figurines has no heirs!" He used them to look like people. How can he make the people starve to death?" The catalpa trees bloom, the pomegranate blossoms The fragrance is bursting, the sun is half hidden in the clouds, and it is more quiet. The boatman rowed the boat and sang fisherman's songs to go home, and heard the chirping of unknown insects in the grass along the way.Sliding along the winding river into the depths of the bamboo forest, there is a bamboo house in a lotus pond with the sound of reading.

"It's getting late today, go up here first, you guys take a rest, and we'll continue going up an hour after lunch."

"Yes." A group of students saluted.

"Well, You Shao stay."

Xie Haowen heard the gentleman calling his name, silently stopped packing his things, and walked in front of the gentleman respectfully.

"gentlemen."

"Well, I've read your article, and it's very good. You entered school late, and I'm really surprised that you can write like this. Come to think of it, if you take the scientific examination, you will definitely be on the list. But, if you want to To be the leader in the scientific examination, in my opinion, it is a little difficult, if you are willing to study hard for a few more years, and take part in the same scientific examination with your brother, it should be easy to win the leader." Mr. Su Over the age of sixty, well-educated and well-educated, with high moral character, he is a person who loves and cherishes talents very much. At first, he was quite contemptuous of Xie Haowen, a "relationship household", but in the end, when he got along day and night, he felt pity for his background. He cherishes his talent and talent quite a lot, so he speaks out to persuade him.

Mr. Su thought that Xie Haowen was very talented and worked very hard. Given time, he might be able to win the top spot, but now that Xie Haowen has only studied with him for a year or two, he is eager to get a job. In his eyes, it is Too hasty.

"I'm just giving you a suggestion on this matter. If you insist on making a breakthrough, I can't stop you. After all, scientific examinations are three points of luck and seven points of strength. Who can say for sure."

"Students understand, students will definitely think more, thank you, Master."

"Well, you can discuss it more with your family members. The little girl who came to teach you last time should be your stepmother. Although she is young, she is quite intelligent. It is not a bad idea to discuss it with her."

"Look, your stepmother is here."

Xie Haowen wanted to clarify the relationship between Gu Ruosu and their family, but was about to speak, but was interrupted by Master Su's words.

Following Mr. Su's gaze, he looked out the door and saw that Gu Ruosu's hair was tied up high with a hairpin, and he was wearing an azure man's auspicious cloud suit, with a multicolored sachet hanging on his waist, and a pair of white The boots with the golden silk beast pattern, holding a black food box in his hand, smiling openly, and his gestures are free and easy, facing the sun, walking like a bright sunflower.

"Master is good, the Gu family Ruosu is polite here." Gu Ruosu saluted a man with a smile.

"Ms. Gu is quite handsome in this outfit, but do you want to sneak into the old man's class?" Su Fuzi and Gu Ruosu's father are good brothers who grew up together, and they also love Gu Ruosu, a quirky junior, quite a lot. In addition, Gu Ruosu acted a bit like his wife, so it was a bit more conniving.

As for the close relationship between the two families, they think that Gu Ruosu has become the stepmother of the Xie family. One is because the Gu family's parents are busy with business and travel far and wide. Of course, it is because Su Fuzi lives in seclusion between the mountains and rivers, and the only knowledge of the outside world is the news brought by outsiders. The news brought by outsiders varies, so naturally there are truths and falsehoods. The third is Gu Ruosu. I don't mind being a "stepmother". For Gu Ruosu, becoming a stepmother is a big step towards success, so it is understandable that Master Su misunderstood the relationship between them.

"I don't dare, the younger generation is most afraid of reading. I don't understand the truth of the matter. I just came to give a food box. And the men's clothes I'm wearing today are just going to go hunting on the mountain behind you, Master. Wearing this It's convenient, but... this person who promised to accompany me to hunt, suddenly couldn't come... Now~ I still need some people,~ No, I'm here to ask for someone, Master."

"Oh~ You are a small food box, and today is the big deal when you come to me to ask for someone. Tell me, tell me, then who do you want to come to me?"

"Hee hee hee, of course it's everyone, one counts as one, so it seems that I have no selfishness." Gu Ruosu said with a smile.

"Alright, it's hot today, if you don't force them to study, I'm afraid the effect won't be good. It's better to let them go hunting with you, relax and relax. Maybe after this trip, everything will be clear." When he said this, Master Su stroked his beard and turned his gaze to Xie Haowen.

In the afternoon, a group of people set up falcons, rode horses with bows and arrows, and came to the back mountain to hunt with great momentum. The plain black wooden whips waved like snowflakes flying, the sound of hoofs rang through the mountains and forests , the students sounded their arrows and chased after the sly rabbit and the agile deer.

"Hahaha, good question, brother, you are very knowledgeable, but the six arts of riding and archery are also indispensable for a gentleman. Your skills are not good, hahaha." A young man in white rode a horse skillfully from the clumsy nowhere. Xie Haowen passed by and said with a smile.

"Exactly, Brother Haowen, just being able to read is not enough, you should spend more time on riding and shooting, hahaha."

"..."

"..."

Several teenagers passed by Xie Haowen one after another, talking in a hurry.

"Tch, you guys are still laughing at him. Just you guys, your riding and shooting skills are not much better, not even half as good as my sixth brother." Gu Ruosu was riding a pure white pony, holding a horse in his hand. Holding a white jade horsewhip inlaid with gold, he said proudly.

Gu Ruosu's sixth brother, Gu Wuji, also cooperated very well by asking the servant behind him to hold up a plump sika deer to show everyone his achievements.

The few students knew that they were bored, and they also knew that it was thanks to Gu Ruosu's blessing that they were able to go out hunting this time, so they stopped distinguishing between one and two, and only played a few haha, and praised Gu Wuji's superb riding and shooting, so they turned around gone.

Seeing those who found fault leaving, Gu Ruosu smiled contentedly, then looked at the silent Xie Haowen, and then said to Gu Wuji:
"Brother Six, go and help me hunt two rabbits back."

"Ah? Don't you already have several rabbits? Why do you want so many? Sell them."

"You don't care about me, if you tell you to go, you can go, otherwise I will tell my elder brother that you didn't go to play with Zhao's elder brother the night before yesterday, but went to the flower building to find Miss Butterfly to drink flower wine!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go! I'll go! Be careful yourself." Gu Wuji reluctantly agreed, and then he was about to ride away, but suddenly thought of something, pulled the rein and returned to Gu Ruosu's side , Whispered in a low voice: "Lonely men and widows, you should pay attention to influence yourself. If you like someone's father, you will fall in love with him. Be more specific. If you don't catch up with the big ones, come and chase the young ones."

After Gu Ruosu heard what Gu Wuji was saying, she was really angry, ashamed and annoyed. She took the whip and beat Gu Wuji's horse. Seeing Gu Wuji being pulled away by the horse, she said loudly: " You don't care about my affairs! Don't slander me, I'm a girl from a good family!"

"You little girl, you have a big temper! I'm your own brother!" Gu Wuji said helplessly as he rode his horse towards the woods and ran helplessly.

"The horse has a strong temper. If you startle his horse like this, the horse will throw him off." Xie Haowen couldn't help but said.

Gu Ruosu turned his head, looked at Xie Haowen and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about him, my sixth brother grew up on horseback since he was a child, if he can't handle such a small scene, he might as well stop riding a horse. "

"..."

"Have you never ridden a horse before?"

"... have ridden..."

"Oh~ I get it~ It's just that I seldom ride, it's okay, it's all small things, and the six arts of a gentleman don't have to be proficient in everything, if there are one or two things you can get rid of, and the others don't get ridiculed. Alright!" Gu Ruosu comforted.

"Father said that a gentleman should know all the classics and biography of the six arts."

"Well~ you are really your father's good son~ but~ your father is right, we should listen to him, when I go back, I will immediately send someone to find two masters, and you can go to my horse farm to learn how to ride horses when you are free , when did you master it, and when did you not learn it?" Gu Ruosu said irrefutably.

"My father said, you don't get paid for nothing."

"What's the matter? I'm going to be your stepmother in the future. Your business is my business. In the family, you don't get paid for nothing."

"My dad also said that he doesn't like you."

"Your father is stubborn!"

"I will never marry you in this life."

"Then I'll marry him!" Gu Ruosu said angrily.

"...You...you...are not suitable for etiquette..." Xie Haowen was obviously startled by Gu Ruosu's words, and stammered.

"Cut, today's world is in chaos of laws and etiquette. I am just a small matter of children's love. Who dares to care if I am not in line with etiquette!"

"Also, your father is so young, so he will definitely marry again. Rather than marrying someone who doesn't know the details, it's better to let your father marry me. I have money and beauty and fell in love with your father at first sight. It's good for you too, isn't it good?" Gu Ruosu felt more and more that what he said made sense, and kept approaching Xie Hao to ask.

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise." Xie Haowen looked at Gu Ruosu who was getting closer and closer to him, couldn't help but blushed, and then quickly came back to his senses, and said.

Immediately, in order to avoid the pestering Gu Ruosu, Xie Haowen caught his horse and galloped out.

"Hey! Why are you running! You are not good at skills, and the horse is so hot-tempered! What are you running for! Hey!" Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Hao who was galloping away and asked, feeling very worried, and drove the horse while shouting. Xie Haowen chased in the direction of departure.

Today's hunting trip was just a whim, except for the Gu brothers and sisters who have their own horses as companions, the rest are horses sent by the Gu brothers and sisters from the racecourse, and they have not yet recognized their owners. He has a rather arrogant temper, but if the driver has experience, nothing big will happen, but Xie Haowen himself has no experience, and he blindly clamped the horse's back and beat the horse with a whip. After a while, the horse Er lost control and rushed forward blindly, not listening to Xie Haowen's words at all.

Gu Ruosu, who was following closely behind, saw this scene and rushed to catch up. Seeing that Xie Haowen still had a face of indifference, he couldn't help complaining: "What time is it, you are still a paralyzed face?" !"

While making complaints, Gu Ruosu paid close attention to the surrounding situation. Looking at the rocks not far ahead, the secret path was not good, so she hurriedly steered her horse to stick close to Xie Haowen's horse. The two horses continued to collide, so Xie Haowen's The horse had no choice but to slow down a bit. Gu Ruosu took advantage of this opportunity to hold on to his rein, and at the moment when his horse was about to stop, he flew onto Xie Haowen, and the two of them Embracing each other, they rolled straight down the hillside, and finally the two of them entered the stream together, making a huge splash.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough." Fortunately, the water in the mountain spring stream was not deep. After Gu Ruosu choked on a few mouthfuls of water, he held on to his strength, and Xie Haowen and Xie Haowen supported each other and climbed to the bank.

"Ah...don't be too arrogant next time. You are not the male protagonist in the novel who has both civil and military skills. How come you are just like the male protagonist when you disagree with him. You just ride a horse and leave. You will be at a disadvantage..."

"……Um……"

"You responded to me, it seems that you have some self-knowledge about yourself~ By the way, why don't you... consider my suggestion, your skills... come out to ride a horse, it's really too much It's dangerous..."

"Why did you save me... I don't approve of you being with my father. If I die, there will be one less person to stop me, okay?" Xie Haowen asked suddenly.

Gu Ruosu was stunned, and then said with a smile: "What's your problem? Why should I harm you? It's because you don't agree with your father being with me. I'm not that stingy. Besides, if your father is willing to marry Me, you kids, can you really stop him? It's his problem~ It has nothing to do with you~

"Besides, you were brought out by me, and I have to be responsible for you. What's more, you are a living human being... I can't do nothing..." Gu Ruosu changed his voice and said seriously .

Gu Ruosu's whole body was soaked in the stream water at this moment, the makeup on his face was washed clean by the stream water, there were crystal clear drops of water hanging on his eyelashes, and his hair was lifeless The blue dress also lost its original handsomeness, and it was wetly attached to Gu Ruosu's body. The water droplets shone brightly under the sunlight, making Gu Ruosu's current "wretched look" even more apparent.

"You... really like my father, it can only be him..."

"Of course~ Your father is the most beautiful person I have ever seen. For the first time, I feel that someone can make my heart beat. For him, I would do anything~" When Gu Ruosu heard Xie Haowen mention his father, the two immediately Eyes shine.

"You're so stupid... but fortunately my father is a good man..."

"? Are you calling me stupid?" Gu Ruosu tilted her head and asked.

"No... I want to take the scientific examination and want to be the leader, but my master suggested that I study hard for another two years, saying that this way is more sure, what do you think?" Xie Haowen looked at Gu Ruosu very seriously and asked.

Gu Ruosu obviously didn't react, Xie Hao asked such a jumping question, but he still thought about it for a moment and said: "You can do whatever you want, if you don't try it, how will you know if you can do it... ...Imperial examinations are inherently unpredictable, and you may not succeed if you try, but if you don’t try, you will definitely fail, and you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

"...Okay...I understand..." Xie Haowen was silent for a long time, looking at Gu Ruosu's bright eyes, and said.

After finishing speaking, Xie Haowen turned around and left.

"Where are you going?"

"Didn't you say you want rabbits... I'm better at archery and trap traps than riding... I'll help you shoot two..."

"Ah... good... thank you... that racecourse..."

"I will go... Brothers and sisters will go too... Just like you said, don't worry so much about the family..."

"!!! Family ⊙▽⊙! You mean you are willing to let me be your mother! Really!" Gu Ruosu got up from the grass excitedly when he heard Xie Haowen's words, jumping up and down Arriving at Xie Haowen's side, he repeatedly confirmed.

"I didn't say anything...you have to get my father's consent first..." Xie Haowen bowed his head and said.

"Hahaha, I understand, I understand! Don't worry, I will definitely be your mother, and I will treat you as my own hahaha~ Don't worry~ This day is not far away~ Take care of the little one, Is it still far from getting the big one?! Hahaha~ I will definitely become the Xie family hahaha~"

"You... Really... If you want to, you can become a member of the Xie family without marrying my father..."

"Being your sister?! Acknowledging your father as a godfather... You are fine, I saved you, but I didn't ask you to repay me like this! Who wants you to be my brother!"

"..."

"..."

"Whatever you want! I don't want you to be my younger sister... Anyway, in the end, it doesn't matter if my father marries you or not. I will keep in mind what you saved me today... In the future... if there is a chance... I will take good care of her your……"

　Come, come, this chapter is also a small explanation for why Xie Haowen was so lost in the previous chapter. The follow-up will explain it more clearly as the plot develops.
