While Hu Miaomiao was writing, Lu Chi was writing down the lessons left by the Master.
At this time, she unexpectedly discovered that Lu Chi was actually very good at reading and did his homework quickly and well.
Hu Miaomiao hesitated, which attracted Lu Chi's attention.
"What's wrong? You want to kiss me?"
Hu Miaomiao glared at him and snorted: "No! I...I just..."
"Just what, just fascinated by your man?" Lu Chi stopped writing and moved closer to her.
Hu Miaomiao did not resist his approach and asked curiously: "Brother Chi, you are obviously good at studying, but why don't you like studying?"
Lu Chi thought for a while, and for the first time in his life, he confided in his heart: "It's not that I don't love books, it's just that I want to do business more than study. I like making money."
"Wow! You are so awesome!" Hu Miaomiao was full of admiration and almost applauded him.
Lu Chi was a little surprised, "You don't advise me to get a meritorious degree, and you still say I'm awesome?"
"Why are you trying to persuade her? Don't you want to do business?" Hu Miaomiao said matter-of-factly. She didn't care whether Lu Chi was studying or doing business, as long as he was happy.
Moreover, Lu Chi is so smart, he will definitely be able to achieve great things whether it is studying or doing business.
However, Lu Chi was truly shocked when he heard what she said.
From a young age, everyone told him that he wanted to study, gain fame, and honor his family, but no one ever asked him what he wanted.
When he and his friends were thinking about doing business, his parents would only scold him for being ignorant, and his eldest brother would scold him for not making progress.
Lu Chi had no choice but to do business secretly, and actually made a lot of money.
But it is a "disgraceful" thing for a scholar to do business. Lu Chi never told anyone, but today he confided in Hu Miaomiao.
Perhaps, subconsciously, he also wanted to be recognized by Hu Miaomiao.
"Brother Chi, I think you can do well in studying, and you can definitely do business!" Hu Miaomiao blindly trusted him.
Lu Chi was in a great mood, and the annoyance that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was swept away in an instant.
"Actually, I don't have to do business, I can also study." Speaking of which, Lu Chi was also undecided.
On the one hand, he didn't want to disappoint his parents and elder brother; on the other hand, he wanted to prove himself in business.
Lu Chi sighed and suddenly said, "It would be beautiful to think about it if I didn't do anything every day and just spent time with you."
Hu Miaomiao thought for a while, but had a different view: "Brother Chi, I also want to be with you, but we have a lifetime together, so you can do something else."
"Haha, I knew you were a little heartless." Lu Chi smiled slightly, already having a plan in mind.
At this moment, Lu Zhou and his wife arrived.
When Lu Chi saw him, he was like a cat seeing a mouse. He wanted to jump out of the window and leave, and didn't want to listen to the constant nagging.
As expected, when Lu Zhou arrived, the first thing he did was to ask about his homework.
Lu Chi curled his lips and reluctantly showed him his homework.
Lu Zhou looked at it carefully and circled every word that was not written well. He rarely said, "It's not bad. It seems like I'm not lazy."
Such words were extremely rare. After hearing this, Lu Chi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
In fact, the two brothers look very similar, but their personalities are very different.
Lu Zhou's wife's name was Liu Piaopiao. She came from a merchant's family. She had not read any books. She just knew how to read and was good at housekeeping.
She looks gentle and doesn't like to smile, but she is quite nice to her servants.
When Liu Piaopiao had something to say, she asked, "Second brother, why did you come back last night?"
Lu Chi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I couldn't eat well or sleep well in the academy, and I missed my parents very much, so I ran back."
"Really? How did I hear that you came back overnight because you missed your wife?"
Lu Chi paused and was speechless for a moment. After all, he was just talking nonsense.
He has always respected this sister-in-law, but he just can't get close to her.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Piaopiao just thought he acquiesced and looked at Hu Miaomiao. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes made people feel uncomfortable.
At this time, Lu Chi quietly took hold of Hu Miaomiao's little hand, intent on protecting her.
"The relationship between my second brother and Miaomiao is so good." Liu Piaopiao said lightly, and then stopped talking, making people think it was neither what it should be nor what it shouldn't be.
Lu Chi hesitated to speak, but he vaguely guessed what she was thinking.
Before this, Mrs. Lu had always been the housekeeper, with Liu Piaopiao assisting her. Because she was the eldest sister-in-law, the power of running the house would gradually fall into her hands.
But now that Hu Miaomiao is married, Liu Piaopiao will naturally feel uncomfortable if Mrs. Lu also asks her to learn to be a housekeeper.
Lu Chi saw through it without saying anything. He was even glad that Hu Miaomiao was simple-minded and couldn't understand other people's eyes, otherwise it would have been very difficult.
Lu Zhou was a businessman. At this moment, he also noticed something was wrong with Liu Piaopiao and gave her a strange look.
Immediately, Lu Zhou said to the two of them: "There will be a flower boat cruise on the river in two days. If you are bored, you might as well join in the fun."
After saying that, Lu Zhou left with Liu Piaopiao.
Lu Chi explained: "My eldest brother is like this. He comes to see if I am studying from time to time."
"You have such a good relationship. Big brother cares about you very much."
Lu Chi also admitted this, "Aside from being annoying, my eldest brother is pretty good."
After a while, Lu Chi said for no reason, "Miaomiao, would it be okay if we went out to live for a while?"
Hu Miaomiao was writing again and asked without raising her head: "Why do you want to go out to live?"
"Not counting going out to live, I sometimes study in the Bamboo Garden. It's very quiet there. It's just us and the servants serving us. How do you like it?"
"Okay!" Hu Miaomiao agreed without asking the reason, "As long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere."
When Lu Chi heard this, he smiled again, hugged her in his arms, and said guiltily: "Miaomiao, don't worry, I will definitely make a lot of money in the future, and all the money I make will be given to you!"
She doesn't have to learn to be a housekeeper, nor does she have to compete with others to take care of the house. She will be better at making money than her eldest brother, allowing her to have enough food and clothing.
"Brother Chi, why did you suddenly say this?" Hu Miaomiao didn't know why, but she was keenly aware that something was wrong with his mood. "It doesn't matter even if you don't make money, I can make money to support you!"
Lu Chi immediately laughed, "You make money to support me? How do you make money?"
Hu Miaomiao really thought about it carefully, "Don't you have a bamboo garden? I can dig bamboo shoots and sell them for money."
Lu Chi couldn't help laughing and encouraged: "Okay, I'll wait for you to dig bamboo shoots!"
"Are you laughing at me?"
"How is it possible? I believe you unconditionally..."
