However, because of fame and fortune, Xiao Yu naturally would not refuse. Even if it was awkward, he had to continue persuading him awkwardly.
Xiao Yu was smarter than Grand Tutor Pang in that he spent more than half a month building a good relationship with Xiang Bei. Once their relationship was good, they could start chatting about poetry and songs, and then talk about life philosophy.
Xiao Yu was able to become the top scholar. Putting aside his character, he naturally had his redeeming qualities.
When a smart person wanted to be on good terms with you, it was impossible to guard against them.
Soon, Xiao Yu and Xiang Bei had a very good relationship.
On this day, Xiao Yu took the initiative to ask Xiang Bei's house for a drink.
Because it was the second day off, and because the two of them happened to be talking about something, Xiang Bei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement to Xiao Yu's suggestion to drink at his house.
When Xiang Bei and Xiao Yu arrived home, Bao Zi was playing with the two children.
When they saw Xiang Bei return, Li Shoujie and Li Shu immediately ran to him. Li Shoujie, especially, said proudly, "Daddy, I can memorize the Three Character Classic."
Hearing Li Shoujie say that he could memorize the Three Character Classic, Xiang Bei bent down and picked Li Shoujie up. He smiled and said, "Jie 'er is so smart. Daddy will teach you the disciple rules next time."
"Big Sister Bai taught me that already."
Li Shoujie was being carried by Xiang Bei and spun around in front of him. As he spun around, he muttered, "Daddy, Shu 'er also knows the Three Character Classic. Why don't you carry Shu' er?"
Seeing that Li Shu was about to cry, Xiang Bei quickly put down Li Shoujie and carried Shu 'er. He smiled and said, "Shu' er is so smart. Daddy will teach you the disciple rules next time."
"Shu 'er has also learned this. Daddy, quickly praise Shu' er for being smart."
Shu 'er was like a carved jade. Although her appearance was not as exquisite as Jiujiu's, she had some baby fat and was more delicate.
Looking at Li Shu, who resembled Jiujiu, Xiang Bei's heart trembled. Without thinking, he said, "Shu 'er is so smart."
Receiving the praise, Li Shu was so proud that her chin was about to rise to the sky.
Xiang Bei carried Li Shu to the living room and asked Bao Zi, "Where's Madam?"
Bao Zi answered obediently, "Madam is still busy. If Master is looking for Madam, I'll invite her over."
"No need, I'm just asking."
Although he missed Jiujiu, Xiang Bei did not want to make Jiujiu stop what she was doing because of him.
Although he liked Jiujiu, he was not a selfish person.
Seeing that Xiang Bei didn't insist, Steamed Bun didn't continue to call Jiujiu back.
When they arrived at the living room, Steamed Bun served them tea and brought out the two children who were clinging to Xiang Bei.
It was obvious that Xiang Bei and Xiao Yu had something to say. They could not let their children disturb them.
Xiao Yu did not say anything when the two children were talking about Xiang Bei. It was not because he was afraid of disturbing Xiang Bei and the two children, but because he realized that the two children looked very familiar. It was as if he had seen them somewhere before.
However, he couldn't tell exactly where he had seen it before.
He went to the north to get some wine and found someone to buy some food from a restaurant. Then, he drank with Xiao Yu and talked about everything under the sun.
After Jiujiu finished her work, she found out that Xiang Bei had returned. She packed up her things and got up to look for Xiang Bei.
However, when she saw Xiao Yu talking to Xiang Bei, the smile on Jiujiu's face froze.
Xiao Yu, who was talking to Xiang Bei, had a twisted expression on his face. He didn't even notice that the wine in his glass spilled all over his body.
What could be more exciting than wanting the other party to marry his sister-in-law only to find out that the other party's wife was his ex-wife?
After Imperial Tutor Pang promised that he would help him take care of everything in his hometown, Xiao Yu steeled his heart and cut off all contact with his hometown. He even pretended that his parents didn't exist.
In his heart, Imperial Tutor Pang's' take care 'was probably about silencing him. Therefore, in Xiao Yu's heart, Jiujiu was already a dead person.
Now, not only did he see Jiujiu, a woman who should have been dead a long time ago, but this woman had also become the wife of the man his sister-in-law wanted to marry.
This was too much of a 'surprise'.
As for Jiujiu, she had originally wanted to live a peaceful life for a few more years. When the two children were a little older, she would then take action to deal with Xiao Yu. She did not expect that after searching for him thousands of times, that person would actually come knocking on her door.
This was really unexpected.
Jiujiu's frozen smile dissipated like snow. Her eyes curved slightly as she glanced at Xiao Yu. Then, she looked at Xiang Bei and asked, "This is?"
Xiang Bei, who was completely unaware of the grudge between Jiujiu and Xiao Yu, thought that Jiujiu was purely curious. He smiled and introduced them to Jiujiu. "This is Lord Xiao Yu. Brother Xiao, this is my wife."
Most people would address their wives as' my wife '.
However, Xiang Bei didn't like this title, so every time he introduced Jiujiu to others, he would affectionately address Jiujiu as' wife '.
Jiujiu smiled faintly as she walked to Xiang Bei's side. As if she didn't see Xiao Yu, she asked, "Why are you back so early today?"
"I didn't have anything to do today, so I came back. You, on the other hand, are you busy today? Are you tired?"
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "Same as usual. By the way, Jiujiu wanted to eat mutton yesterday, so I specially bought some. How about mutton soup tonight?"
Xiang Bei lowered his head and looked at Jiujiu's fingers, which were still stained with ink. He frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "Why don't we eat outside?"
Although Jiujiu said that she wasn't tired, if she really wasn't tired, why didn't Jiujiu even have time to wash her hands? She must have said that because she didn't want him to worry.
Although it was a good thing that Xiang Bei was so considerate, Jiujiu still chose to cook for herself when she thought about how she would have to face Xiao Yu, the scumbag, if they went out to eat.
After all, she could drug Xiao Yu when she cooked.
Jiujiu waved her hand and said, "No need. Besides, I've already prepared the mutton. I just need to cook it. Husband, take your time. I'm going to cook."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Yu faintly and turned to leave.
At this moment, Xiao Yu's hands and feet were already cold, and he was in a daze.
No wonder he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy when he saw the two children just now. At that time, he thought that it was because he also had children. However, now that he saw Jiujiu, he understood that it was not because he had children that he felt so close to the two children, but because the two children were his children.
When he left back then, the two children were still very young, especially Li Shu, who had just been born.
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed, and the two children had grown into children that he couldn't recognize.
