When Bai Yunxi heard this, she glanced at Wenyou in surprise, and then couldn't help but chuckle, "If I didn't know you well, I wouldn't be able to help thinking about it."

The usually aloof girl was polite and courteous to her family members. The rest of them didn't even bother to look at her, and her whole person showed a rejection of all social gestures.

Listening to Bai Yunxi's teasing, Wenyou also curled her lips, "In the future, the training intensity will be high, and the fewer people, the better."

Misfortunes come from her mouth, and she doesn't want her hard work to be ruined.

While talking, Bai Yunxi went to the inner room and took out a box and handed it to Wenyou, "Here are the muscle-strengthening and bone-strengthening pills I prepared. They are for children to strengthen their physique and help them become talents as soon as possible."

Wenyou was surprised. Aunt Bai also gave her two bottles of health pills before, saying they were for strengthening her body. She didn't expect there to be such bone-strengthening pills?

"Can I eat it?" If it would strengthen her muscles and bones, she would also like to try it.

Listening to Wenyou's inquiry, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle, "It's a medicine that contains three parts of poison. Besides, you're already very powerful, so why are you taking this? After all, it's just a pill."

"...It's just the persistence of martial arts practitioners." He is accustomed to fighting for the first place, not wanting to be eliminated, and becoming stronger is engraved in his mind.

Wenyou opened the box and looked at the ten bottles of Strengthening Muscle and Bone Pills inside, with a deep look in her eyes. If someone knew about the treasure in her hand, they might be able to steal it.

While the two were talking, Zhang Yishan came over with the girl, "Mom, there is a letter from home."

As she spoke, she handed over three wax letters.
"In addition to the letter, there are also some earthly rituals prepared by the second brother and sister. I will ask my sister-in-law to come over and have a look later. How do you eat them?"

Bai Yunxi received the letters, three in total, one from home, one from Sister Song, and one from her mother-in-law.

Read them one by one,
The safe letter sent by the second child and his wife was not in a good font, but it recounted all the trivial matters at home, reassuring her that everything was fine.Even Xiaosi's duck farm is going well. Last month, they discussed with Shopkeeper Jiao to increase the number of roast ducks.The duck factory was hatching more and more ducks, and Xiaosi hired five or six more long-term workers to work with great energy.

Sister-in-law Song is a thank you letter, thanking Bai Yunxi for taking care of Song Jie despite her busy schedule. Now Song Jie has officially joined Master Liu's disciples and is working hard to prepare for the provincial examination three years later.

Her mother-in-law sent a letter of greetings, asking if she was used to life in Fucheng.I also asked about some trivial matters in life, hoping to meet as soon as possible.

After Bai Yunxi read it, he repackaged the envelope and then looked up at Zhang Yishan.
"Please worry about your mother. Let me know when you reply. I will also reply to my mother-in-law."

Zhang Yishan nodded repeatedly as she listened.
"Don't worry, mother. You'll write it down later and we'll send it out together."

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Yishan took Du Shi to sort out the earthen rituals sent from her hometown.

On the road at dusk, Xiao Wu had just come out of the Yamen and was about to go home in the car. When he passed by the pastry shop, he thought of the moon cakes his mother brought someone to make a few days ago, so he asked Shuyuan to stop the car.

"Go buy some mung bean cakes and come back."

Shuyuan agreed, pulled over and parked the car, and walked to the pastry shop.

Xiao Wu was sitting in the car, holding an idle book in his hand, and just as he opened it, he heard someone shouting "Fifth Brother" by the car window.Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar tone, Xiao Wu suddenly raised his head, and when he saw the person standing in front of the car window, his eyes narrowed.

"Bai Anchen? It turns out to be you."

His wife had told him a few days ago that someone was always watching furtively at the door. Although she didn't mean any harm, she always felt nervous and panicked.

Besides, being stared at all the time when you come in and out of your home makes you uncomfortable after all.

He thought that the other party had no ill intentions, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He also thought that he could just ask a few questions and let people leave.Now seeing the person in front of him, Xiao Wu's lips curled into a sneer.If he could stare at the door and not go in, he would probably be too embarrassed to see his mother.

Looking at Bianchen, who was wearing a gray-blue crotchless shirt and a cloth scarf on his head, he looked much richer than when he left. His eyes that still showed shrewd calculations were full of excitement and uneasiness.

Seeing that the corner of his mouth was trembling and he didn't know how to speak, Xiao Wu felt inexplicably irritable.

Bai Anchen looked at Xiao Wu's indifferent eyes and shrank in his heart. He didn't know if it was because he was wearing an official uniform. The fifth brother in front of him was so strange and intimidating.

I thought that as the eldest brother, it would be more convenient for him to make a breakthrough from the fifth brother, but now it seems that he might as well go to his mother and kowtow to admit his mistake.

Xiao Wu looked at his unpredictable eyes, put down the book, put his hands on his temples, tilted his head towards him,
"You've already left, why show up suddenly?"

Hearing the sarcasm in Xiao Wu's tone, Bai Anchen's face turned red, and he took several deep breaths to calm down.
"The situation at home is like that, and the eldest brother is going out to make a living..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Wu knocking on the car window.

"Traveling? You did go out to travel, but it was not for us, but to find a way out for yourself. Since you have gone out, why bother showing up in front of me again?"

Seeing Xiao Wu's indifferent eyes, Bai Anchen was very flustered. Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to put down the curtain, he quickly raised his hand to block it.

"Fifth brother, listen to me. I have discovered it since the first day you entered the city. At first, I didn't have the courage to walk in front of you, so I could only look quietly in the dark. You may say that I am shameless or guilty. But I am your eldest brother after all, I wonder if my mother is okay?"

Listening to Bai Anchen's artificial tone, Xiao Wu snorted unceremoniously,
"You still have the nerve to talk about your mother and touch your heart. Is it worthy?"

Bai Anchen's face turned purple when Xiao Wu was rudely angry, but he didn't dare to resist. He felt regretful, but also mixed with a little guilt, grievance and unwillingness.

He didn't expect Xiao Wu to win the first prize. When his father was still alive, he once said that Xiao Wu had a talent for reading. At that time, he was still not convinced, thinking that his father favored Xiao Wu. A child had only read a few books. What kind of talent or lack of talent?

Now that the facts were in front of him, he really had nothing to say.Compared with Xiao Wu, his talent in reading is indeed inferior. Although he has continued to study in these years, he has not been successful in the imperial examination.

He married a daughter of the Zhou family, and now the Zhou family supports his education, but there has been no progress in the past few years. His father-in-law has no patience anymore, and has asked him several times to give up the scientific examination, learn business from him, and work harder. The same goes for having several children and focusing your energy on them.

He declined several times, but seeing that his father-in-law's endurance had reached its limit, even his wife advised him not to get into trouble, and to run a big car shop and an inn seriously, and live a good life.
