Chapter 229 Thoughts
"Qing Ya, are you still used to coming to the capital? It's very cold in the north, which is very different from the south." Mrs. Xiao chatted like an ordinary old woman.

But Gu Qingya could sense a little difference, but she couldn't really tell what the difference was, "I'm not used to it, it's too cold. At this time, the family should prepare to boil silkworms."

"Indeed, the north cannot grow silkworms that are as juicy as the south. The south is better." Mrs. Xiao seemed to be very emotional.

Gu Qingya was a little puzzled, she didn't know how to proceed, she had little contact with people, and she couldn't play the trick of talking, is Mrs. Xiao chatting with herself now, or what do she want to say?
After thinking about it, Gu Qingya followed what Mrs. Xiao said just now, "Silkworms are more delicate and picky. Whenever silkworms are boiled, I think my mother will be several years older."

"Although there are silkworms in the north, they live directly on the trees. They have rough skin and thick flesh, but the silk they produce is not as good as those from the south." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, "Last year, the ice jade silk was very popular in the capital. Silk is really too precious."

"The output of ice jade silk is not high, but my mother is the main person in charge, and there are two silkworms that are boiled every year as a reward." Gu Qingya thought of what Ji Xiaosheng said, Mrs. Xiao is very afraid of heat, it is estimated that the ice rain silk Sent to her heart.

Ji Xiaosheng added from the side, "Sister is too modest, how can the ice jade silkworm be raised so well without my aunt's hands?"

"Oh, there is a story here?" Mrs. Xiao seemed very interested.

Gu Qingya couldn't understand, but Ji Xiaosheng who was on the side spoke up for her, added fuel and vinegar to say a lot, and praised Gu Shi as a superb artist, and as Gu's daughter, she felt a little blush.

In the study room, after playing chess for a while, Jiang Rong'an bowed to Xiao Lao's subordinates.The old man drank the soup in the jar, and glared at Jiang Rongan, "Drink it."

"Thank you, teacher, for your care." Jiang Rong'an smiled lightly, and finished drinking in a small sip. There was a faint smell of medicine, and he couldn't drink anything added.

"Your paper, I specially checked it out. What's the matter, can you still read the wrong topic?" Xiao Lao said bluntly. If he didn't read the topic, Jiang Rong'an could get a high score for his writing, but it's a pity that he digressed.

Jiang Rongan shook his head, "I don't know, I only realized when I finished writing, and I didn't have time at that time."

Xiao Laowei blamed him a lot. It is not the first time he has encountered mistakes in reading questions at such a young age. Some things just cannot be explained clearly.

"I've been in the capital for so long, and you don't know how to come to me?" Elder Xiao began to settle accounts with Jiang Rong'an. The young man in front of him was not a student of his own, but he had guided him anyway, so he was very happy. Not many are so stable.

It's not that he doesn't want to be accepted as a student, but his current identity and status, he pays attention to many aspects, and he doesn't just do whatever he wants, but the absence of those things in name doesn't mean that he can't give pointers.

"The student knows his mistake." Jiang Rongan knew very well that any excuses are useless. He really has a heart, so why can't he find a place?

Old Xiao cast a sideways glance at Jiang Rongan, still a little dissatisfied. Seeing this, Jiang Rongan hurriedly opened the bag he was carrying with him, and took out the two books inside.

"This is a book that a student got by chance, and it was re-transcribed. I thought you might be interested." Jiang Rongan held two books in both hands and presented them respectfully.

Old Xiao let out a groan, his eyes were full of curiosity. With his status and his preferences, there were many students who collected books or other editions that had not been circulated for him. Books, he has backups here.

Xiao Lao didn't speak, took the book, first looked at the title and author's name, then raised his head and praised Jiang Rong'an, "The writing has improved."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Xiao began to read intently. The author was unfamiliar, and so was the dynasty. One of the books probably recorded some strange people and strange things, while the other book was a little more in-depth, talking about family precepts.

Mr. Xiao is not curious about books, as he is getting older, his views are different from before. In the past two years, he planned to write one or two books before he started. new ideas.

When people get old, what they care about most is the future generations. Reputation is irrelevant, but what can benefit future generations is undoubtedly not money and honor, but the knowledge of how to choose in the journey of life.

"That's right." Elder Xiao put the book on the bookshelf, looked at Jiang Rong'an who was standing respectfully beside him, "I'll use it at my side for lunch today, let's go, say hello to your teacher's wife."

During the period, Mrs. Xiao picked up other topics, and the three of them chatted happily, and then saw Mrs. Xiao and Jiang Rongan walking slowly together.

"What are you talking about? See, you're happy." Facing Mrs. Xiao, Elder Xiao's face softened a lot.

"You're chatting with Qingya, you're such a sensible child." Mrs. Xiao got up and helped Mr. Xiao over.

Gu Qingya got up to salute as soon as she saw someone, feeling a little apprehensive, she glanced at Jiang Rongan quietly, he hasn't been trained too badly.

"Xiaosheng, let me test you to see if you have worked hard?" Elder Xiao looked at Ji Xiaosheng with a smile, "You seem to have lost a lot of weight, have you gone to practice martial arts?"

Elder Xiao had some disapproval on his face, "Your temperament is already irritable, isn't it getting worse when you practice martial arts? Read more books and cultivate your character well."

"What the teacher said is true." Facing Mr. Xiao, Ji Xiaosheng also had to put away his claws and obediently listen to the training.

Mrs. Xiao saw that Mrs. Xiao had something to say to the two young people, she looked at Gu Qingya and said with a smile: "Qingya, you can join me in the kitchen and order the dishes for lunch."

Mrs. Xiao and Gu Qingya were gone, and Elder Xiao's expression became serious, "Xiaosheng, are you going to follow the Seventh Prince?"

"This year, His Majesty intends to increase overseas development and redefine the dividing line." I just don't know how much effort the crown prince and the seventh prince have put in. I don't know how many years it will take to complete it. The key is that the north and northeast must also Move, but this cannot be said.

Ji Xiaosheng didn't hide it from Mr. Xiao, he was the first teacher of the princes, and his loyalty was unquestionable, "Well, His Majesty was persuaded." With the conservativeness of the current Majesty, he still mainly focuses on communication and doing business, but it is obvious that However, the ambitious prince and seventh prince don't think so.

Elder Xiao sighed, and didn't say anything more. What more can he say about the decision of the emperor's family?
Jiang Rong'an was listening, and he was a little confused at first, but thinking about the Seventh Prince's ambition, he could guess quite a bit.

But these are not for him to speak, just listen to it, and who can predict what will happen in the future.
