Xiaoyaoshanjun

Chapter 88 Cultural Man

Mr. Hu didn't arrive at the village entrance until the next afternoon.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, the dogs of several households started barking.

The dog, with a cloth schoolbag slung across his shoulder, got off the car and stood at the entrance of the village, looking around curiously.

There happened to be some children from the village playing games nearby. When they saw the dog, they asked, "Where are you from?"

The little girl next to him said quickly, "It must be the Hu family, right?"

Gou'er said happily, "Yes! My mother and brother are here, as well as my second father."

When she heard that it was someone from the Hu family, the girl quickly said, "I'll take you there! I'm Danier, working at your house. Your mother asked me to stay here and watch over you. I'll take you and the master back when someone comes."

Hu Yuwei came out of the car at this time, looking at the big house on the hillside in the distance and the flat road nearby, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Soon the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a beautiful young woman said softly, "Master, it seems that we haven't reached our destination yet. Please warm up in the carriage. It's cold outside."

"No need, it's just a few steps away." Hu Yuwei didn't want to stay in the carriage, so he followed the children in front of him and walked forward.

The convoy of twenty or thirty people behind him continued to move forward. This time, a total of twenty people returned. After returning to the county town, some more people followed.

Gao Fengge also got out of the car and followed Hu Yuwei.

Everyone followed the child and walked forward. The villagers nearby also knew that the master of the Hu family had returned, but they didn't know him and were too embarrassed to come out and say hello.

When they arrived at the Hu family's door, Dou Niang and others had already come out.

Hu'er and Bao'er were standing at the door wearing new cotton-padded jackets, looking at Hu Yuwei who seemed unfamiliar to them.

After just two or three months of not seeing each other, Hu Yuwei's temperament had obviously changed, and the changes in his pampered appearance were more obvious than before.

In fact, there have been gradual changes since I passed the examination for a Tongsheng, but the changes were not significant. They became obvious only after I passed the examination for a Juren.

After passing the imperial examination, the two children were taken back to the countryside by Tian Buli, where they met a group of country folk all day long.

Even Tian Buli does not have the temperament of a scholar, so in comparison, Hu Yuwei seems more extraordinary.

It is indeed extraordinary, but it also looks strange.

Hu'er and Bao'er felt a little strange towards this father, just like seeing their biological father who had returned from prison for a year. They suddenly felt a little strange and at a loss as to what to do.

"Master." Zhang Xia and Bai Yanhong greeted first.

Zhang Xia quickly urged the two silly kids, "Say hello to your dad."

Tiger and Leopard finally reacted.

"Dad, aunt."

Hu Yuwei just thought that the two children had some problems with his new concubine. After all, the two sons came back after he took the concubine.

"Well, you two have grown a lot taller. Have you been listening to your mother at home?"

The two little boys who were often beaten said obediently: "Be good."

Dou Niang looked at Hu Yuwei, and then mainly looked at Miss Gao next to her.

After Hu Yuwei greeted her, Gao Fengge also said politely: "Hello, three sisters. I have been here for so many days and I haven't greeted you three sisters yet. It's really a sin."

Dou Niang didn't want to talk to her, so she stepped aside and said, "It's cold outside, let's talk inside."

"Everyone go in." Hu Yuwei led his people inside.

I walked up the steps, stood in front of the door, looked at the walls and gate about fourteen or fifteen meters long, and then looked at the plaque three meters high.

胡府
The ancestral home in the county was much smaller. Hu Yuwei went in and found that there were nine courtyards inside and outside the house.

The first thing you see at the entrance is the main courtyard. On the left is a long guardhouse where servants live. If something happens at the door, a large group of people can quickly get out from here.

On the right is the street gate, which is not in the middle but on the west.

The side courtyard where carriages and horses enter has a flat ground and slope specifically for carriages and horses, and there are no steps.

The three courtyards in the middle are the inner courtyards, facing the main hall, and on the left and right are the side rooms where children and female relatives live.

The main house is at the back, and the east and west side rooms are on the left and right. Dou Niang usually lives in the main house at the back, and Zhang Xia and Bai Yanhong each live in a side room. Unlike traditional buildings, there is no need to guard against any danger here, and this problem was not considered when it was built, so the rooms are designed to be spacious and bright.

Hu Yuwei entered the house and took a look, praising it: "It's well built, many times better than the one in the county."

Hu Er said quickly, "Second Dad's house is five or six times bigger than ours, and it has a garden, a pond, and fish and horses!"

Hu Yuwei smiled and said, "Of course, the princess built a new house for him, so a bigger one would be more in line with the princess' style."

Hu Yuwei looked at the people who followed him in.

"Settle down and rest first. I'll go check on the Tian family."

Dou Niang looked at Hu'er, "Hu'er, take everyone to the room to rest and prepare some hot food to warm them up."

"Okay!" Huer quickly went to the kitchen and shouted.

Leopard took the dog to his house to watch the fun. He now had his own house, but he could stay in the house with the dog for a few days.

Hu Yuwei quickly took his young wife to visit Tian Buli.

The two were friends and now are neighbors. Although they are not blood brothers, they are better than brothers.

For Tian Buli and Hu Yuwei, there was no change in their relationship, so they soon sat down and started chatting casually.

"I originally wanted to guarantee you, but since you have contacts with the Princess's Mansion, it would be better to ask Master Qi or the Princess to guarantee you. This way, at least you will have a reputation."

Tian Buli smiled and nodded, "I am indeed not very knowledgeable. The princess also mentioned this when she sent someone here before. There is no need for us to be so polite. I will talk to Lord Qi about the guarantee next year. Sir, just prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

Hu Yuwei nodded, "That's good. I plan to go to Beijing for the exam after the Lantern Festival. The journey is long, so I need to prepare early."

"As I should." Tian Buli said, "I can't accompany you this time. I also have to take the exam."

Hu Yuwei smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. I didn't give you any gifts when you took a concubine."

Tian Buli waved his hand and refused, "No need, I didn't give you any gifts when you took a concubine, so let's not be so polite to each other."

The two men sat down opposite each other in the main hall. Behind Tian Buli stood three beauties, and behind Hu Yuwei stood his new beautiful concubine.

We talked and laughed with each other and felt much more relaxed.

Gao Fengge is the daughter of the Gao family. The Gao family is not as good as the Lan family and the Li family, and Gao Fengge is not as good as the Li sisters and Bai Lian. She is inferior in beauty and temperament.

The welcoming banquet was held at the Tian family. Tian Buli's house had also been mostly renovated, and it was much larger than the Hu family's in both space and layout.

This time there were quite a lot of people in the Hu family and there was not enough space for them to live, so they gave some to the Tian family.

Tian Buli has a good relationship with Hu Yuwei, and he also has a good relationship with the next generation of the Hu family. The two families are considered to be one family.

While eating, Hu Yuwei looked at the luxurious living room of the Tian family and said with emotion: "The Princess's Mansion is indeed magnificent. I will renovate the house next year, otherwise it will be outdone."

Tian Buli consoled him, "As long as the house is habitable, it's fine. I live here for less than half a month a year. Most of the time I study and practice martial arts in a small courtyard on the mountain. It's not even as big as your courtyard."

"This place was given by the princess. Since she can't always stay with me in the mountains, she arranged for us to stay here. If the Hu family wants to stay, they can stay here too."

Hu Yuwei quickly said, "No, I'm afraid these two kids won't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is if they get used to living here."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "There are always families in the world who live better than us. My family is bigger than the ordinary families outside, but it is nothing compared to the wealthy families in the palace. It's really annoying and tiring to compare with them all the time."

"I think the Hu family will have a hierarchy of heirs in the future. It's nothing compared to my family, but you, as a father, have to take care of your own affairs. One of the three children must inherit the ancestral home, and one must be left to manage the household affairs here and manage the rent of the house and fields."

Gao Fengge smiled and said, "It would be more logical to have more children. The same is true for my uncle's family. In the future, this big house and land will need someone to help manage it."

Tian Buli nodded and said, "It is a blessing to have a large family. I have recently learned some techniques for maintaining health in bed. I will send the notes to you later. You ladies can also take a look. It is good to know some of them."

When Dou Niang heard this, she scolded him, "You just read some idle books all day long. You don't know how to study hard!"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "These are all serious books. You will know when you go back and read them."

Tian Buli did take out the serious notes he had researched and gave them to Hu Yuwei, which mainly explained the safe period for women, and detailed when the chances of pregnancy were high and when it was not suitable to have sex.

It is indeed a sexual art, but it is really serious and has great scientific significance.
