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 Classics, 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 bumped 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 space 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 butt!

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!”
