After Luo Wei arrived ho, he paid respects to his mother Bo Hua, then returned to his own part of the estate and stayed in the study for the rest of the day.
In his past life Luo Wei didn't pay attention to his studies, he was an uneducated rich playboy. However, he'd managed to learn the four arts(1) after he'd beco a male prostitute, and even developed a beautiful calligraphic hand. It's a little funny, but not so much after you think about it. Male prostitutes use their bodies to satisfy custors, but they also need other skills to ingratiate themselves to the custors. At that ti, Luo Wei especially needed these skills because he had to keep himself alive, he tried harder to ingratiate himself to his custors, hoping it would make them happy from ti to ti and thus make himself suffer less. Other people studied hard for rit and fortune, but he studied for survival. The motivations were different, and since his was more pressing, he put more effort into it and pushed himself harder.
"Young Master," Xiao Xiao entered the study. He wasn't that scared of Luo Wei anymore. After Luo Wei woke up from his injury, he'd never raised his voice at him, "Would you like to take your al now?" Xiao Xiao stood in front of the desk, asking Luo Wei, and glanced at the book that Luo Wei was reading in passing. Surprisingly, it was a copy of "Theory of World Governance"(1).
Luo Wei put the book down and turned to look out the window. The sky was dark already. "Sure," He said to Xiao Xiao, "I'll eat."
Xiao Xiao ran out and ca back with Qi Zi not long after, the two of them carrying two containers. The two of them filled the table with food in no ti.
The eldest brother of the Luo family was always away, and to this day has not started a family. Luo Zhi Qiu and Luo Ze were both often busy with governntal matters, neither ca ho at a strict ti. And Luo Wei was hated by everyone, so in the Luo ho it was often that the second daughter-in-law, Xu Yue Miao, who ate with the matriarch, Bo Hua. All the other people ate by themselves.
Luo Wei looked at the table full of food, and said to Xiao Xiao and Qi Zi, "Next ti don't bring so much, I can't finish it all by myself."
"Understood," Xiao Xiao and Qi Zi shared a glance. The questions were building up inside, more and more, but it's not sothing they could easily ask, so they could only agree.
"Are my dad and older brother ho?" Luo Wei asked as he ate.
Qi Zi answered, "The second young master ca back a little earlier, lord chancellor only just arrived at ho."
"Have you both eaten?" Luo Wei only picked so vegetables to eat. at and fish were his favorites before, but in the past life, he'd been forced to slice off and grill a piece of his own flesh, then eat it piece by piece. After that, even the sight of at makes him want to throw up.
Xiao Xaio replied, "Yes sir."
Luo Wei didn't know what else to say, so he kept his head down and ate.
However, Xiao Xiao spoke up beside him, "Young master, is the stead fish not good today?" In the past little while, Luo Wei had not touched a single bit of at, and Xiao Xiao just couldn't wrap his mind around it. Do people have a change of appetite after recovering from an illness too?
"I don't want to eat at right now," Luo Wei has already finished. He set his bowl and chopsticks down as he spoke to Xiao Xiao, "Tell the kitchen not to make any for the ti being. When I want to eat it again, I'll tell them."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Luo Wei finished dinner and walked a few tis around the yard in place of taking a stroll. He estimated when his older brother Luo Ze would finish dinner, and only after did he head to Luo Ze's part of the house to find him.
Luo Ze had finished dinner and was having so fruits. He startled when he saw Luo Wei. Luo Wei had never set foot in his part of the house before, not that he was scared, it was because he didn't want to.
"Big brother," Luo Wei address Luo Ze, then as he saw Xu Yue Miao who looked as if she didn't know wehter to stay or to go, he addressed her too, "Sister-in-law."
Xu Yue Miao was stunned, staring at Luo Wei who was barely recognizable standing in front of her, and was completely at a loss. Luo Wei had never address her in polite terms, not even on the day she was married into the house.
Luo Wei pretended not to notice how much at a loss she was, and said to Luo Ze, "Are you free right now, big brother? Could you go sowhere with ?"
Luo Ze answered, "You want to go out of the house?"
"No," Luo Wei replied, "I want to show you sothing."
Luo Ze didn't know what tricks Luo Wei was up to. His heart filled with suspicion. But since Luo Wei had co looking for him especially, Luo Ze nevertheless followed Luo Wei out.
