Su Xiaoxiao asked Su Ergou to pick up the three little ones from school. Old Madam Wei asked, “Are they enlightened?”

If she remembered correctly, the three little fellows were still more than a month away from turning three years old. Children from ordinary big families would only be enlightened when they were five to seven years old.

Except for Little Seven. He was born with extraordinary intelligence and was different from other children.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t sure if this was considered enlightenment. In a broad sense, enlightenment seemed to refer to learning the Thousand Characters, the Four Books, and the Five Cla.s.sics, but the three little fellows were learning the zither from Ling Yun.

“Where’s the teacher?” Matriarch Wei asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s a neighbor in the alley. Dahu and the others are learning the zither from him.”

Hearing that they were learning the zither and that she had casually found a neighbor to teach, Old Madam Wei frowned.

Su Ergou went to pick up the three little ones. Su Xiaoxiao, Old Madam Wei, and the others entered the courtyard.

She b.u.mped into Zhong Shan, who was about to go home.

Old Madam Wei paused.

Zhong Shan also paused.

He bowed and silently bowed before hunching out of the courtyard.

Matriarch Wei turned to look at him.

Su Xiaoxiao said strangely, “You know him?”

Old Madam Wei nodded indifferently. “Perhaps I’ve seen him somewhere.” This answer was too careless. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t buy it.

Zhong Shan was under Mistress Hui Jue. Wei Ting knew her, and it was very likely that Matriarch Wei knew her too.

In fact, it was a more reasonable guess that Matriarch Wei and Grandmaster Hui Jue knew each other. Wei Ting only knew Grandmaster Hui Jue because of his grandmother.

However, Matriarch Wei’s reaction just now was a little strange.

Since she knew him, why didn’t she acknowledge him? Why was she so cold to Zhong Shan?

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

Old Madam Wei began to sized up the courtyard. The s.p.a.ce was not big, but it was clean and tidy.

There was a black foal in the courtyard. It was very beautiful.

“Is this a big food horse?”

Old Madam Wei was very surprised.

Big food horses were rare in the Great Zhou, but when she thought about how her grandfather was Qin Canglan, she felt that perhaps Qin Canglan had thought of a way to get it from somewhere.

The last person to recognize it as a big food horse was Qin Canglan.

She did not expect Matriarch Wei to know horses. Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “It’s a big food horse.” “A premature one?” Matriarch Wei asked again.

“You can tell that?”

It was Su Xiaoxiao’s turn to be surprised.

After her careful feeding, the pony had grown very strong and was almost no different from a normal horse.

Ordinary people naturally could not tell, but Matriarch Wei was not an ordinary person.

When she accompanied her husband on his expeditions back then, many generals in the capital had yet to be born.

Old Madam Wei recalled, “Little Seven’s grandfather raised a big food horse when he was young. Like this horse, it was born prematurely.”

“What happened next?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Old Madam Wei said calmly, “He died in less than two months. A premature warhorse can’t be raised.”

Generally speaking, they would die within a few days of being born. If they lived a little longer, it would be less than a month. It was already a miracle that Lord Wu An raised the foal to two months.

Su Xiaoxiao touched the foal. “Sihu is three months old.”

It could actually be raised for three months… A trace of surprise flashed across Old Madam Wei’s eyes.

She walked closer to take a closer look.

However, Sihu mercilessly turned around and threw her a proud b.u.t.t!

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands and said, “Sihu is angry with you. You said it can’t be raised.”

Old Madam Wei was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea. Her sister-in-law, Madam Chu, sat with Matriarch Wei in the central room.

The others stayed in the courtyard to admire Sihu.

Fifth Sister-in-law Jiang pinched Sihu’s horse ears. “What horse is this? It’s so beautiful!”

Second Sister-in-law, Madam Li, said softly, “I heard from Grandmother just now that it’s a big food horse.”

Fourth Sister-in-law, Madam Lan, said in surprise, “A big food horse is even more precious than a ferghana horse.”

Sihu enjoyed it and jumped happily in the courtyard. Old Madam Wei said, “Alright, stop fooling around. Come in.”

The four of them reluctantly entered the central room.

The few of them felt that there was not much chance to go out, so they inevitably could not stay idle. Although they barely nailed themselves to the chair under Matriarch Wei’s pressure, their eyes darted around.

Old Madam Wei said in a low voice, “Just say what you want to say.”

Mdm Jiang cleared her throat and asked in a low voice, “Did Little Seven… really become her live-in son-in-law?”

Old Madam Wei muttered, “Is it too late to regret now?”

Old Madam Wei said to Nanny Li, “Let’s go pick up the children.”

“Yes.

Nanny Li handed the walking stick to Matriarch Wei.

The few of them also stood up. Matriarch Wei said, “Wait here.”

“Yes, Grandmother.”

The few of them complied obediently.

After Matriarch Wei and Nanny Li left, Madam Jiang stood up and came to the back door of the central room.

From here, she could see Su Xiaoxiao busy in the kitchen.

Madam Lan also walked over. “Fifth Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?” “Looking at her,” Mdm Jiang said.

Madam Jiang turned to look at Madam Chen. “Third Sister-in-law, do you want to take a look?”

Madam Chen said, “Oh, I want to.”

The three of them leaned against the door and looked at the little fat girl.

Madam Li gradually couldn’t sit still on the chair. She stole a glance at her sister-in-law, Madam Chu.

When Old Madam Wei was not around, Madam Chu was the head of the family.

Seeing that her sister-in-law had no intention of stopping her, she quietly walked over to take a look.

Mdm Jiang was puzzled. “So Little Seven’s type is like this?”

No wonder he rejected Princess Lingxi and Princess Huian. The two of them were so thin that they did not have any flesh. How could they be as round and smooth as this little girl?

Madam Lan asked, “Do you think Cousin Lingxi is better looking or her?”

“They’re both good-looking,” Madam Jiang said, “but her stomach is round and she can eat more.”

It was a blessing to be able to eat.

Madam Jiang stared at Su Xiaoxiao’s b.u.t.t again. “Her b.u.t.t is big and she can give birth! Second Sister-in-law’s b.u.t.t is big!”

Madam Li, who was the only one among the five who had given birth, said,

“Thank you…”

Madam Li said, “You should say that she is acc.u.mulating wealth.”

The three of them were surprised. They turned around and said in unison, “Second Sister-in-law, you’re here too?”

They continued to observe Su Xiaoxiao.

Madam Li continued, “There are pearls in her earlobes.”

Madam Jiang said in admiration, “Second Sister-in-law knows! As expected of the descendant of a Feng Shui master!”

Madam Li said slowly, “I’ll draw a talisman for you another day.”

Madam Jiang hurriedly said, “Uh… that’s not necessary.”

She looked at the silent Madam Chen. “Third Sister-in-law, what do you think?”

Third Sister-in-law, Madam Chen, was the best at martial arts and the least good with words.

She scratched her head. “Ah, why are you asking me?” Mdm Jiang said, “Because your opinion is also very important.”

Madam Chen said, “Oh, then I think.. she’s quite good.”

Madam Lan pursed her lips. “What’s so good about it?”

Madam Chen said honestly, “She’s fleshy and can take a beating.”

Everyone was speechless.

“She’s nothing much. I still prefer Cousin Lingxi!”

Madam Lan snorted and returned to her seat.

She looked at the dignified and quiet Madam Chu.. “Sister-in-law, what do you think?”
