Chapter 33: Xu Ling Yue: In this life, I want to repay my big brother.
PS: I'm actually panicking a little bit because the stockpile is completely depleted as of today. From now on, I'll have to code every day now. Although I've been idle for half a year, I've been writing extras. Then I stopped writing the extras, and I was doing the worldview and characterization with my liver. The beginning of the writing waste tens of thousands of words.
By the time the shelves, the alliance's increase I will pay back day by day, as for the shelves burst more don't expect.
I don't want to lie, after all, more more means more subscription, not no way, who don't want more cha money, right.
In addition, do not say that I am short, my big baby hidden in the Sumeru Arabidopsis thaliana, pulled out to cover the sky, into the water can town sea eye, I wringing waist, swinging 30,000 miles of no one smoke; a urine, washed down the moon extinguish the sun; a shake, the flat ground set off a hurricane flying sand and stones.
......
The aunt was madly dissing her nephew when she heard the butler's shouts and raised her voice in response, "If you're back, you're back, and you want me to go greet you?"
The housekeeper stomped his feet anxiously, "Madam, there is blood on Sister Suzume's body, Miss Lingyue seems to have just cried, the Master and Erlang also have ugly faces, and also, Dailang didn't come back, so something must have happened."
There was a "ping-pong" sound in the room, as if something had been knocked over, followed by the concerned voices of the maids: "Madam..."
"Go away!" The aunt lifted her skirt and rushed out, her face anxious as she ran towards the front hall.
The aunt ran back to the front hall in a hurry, her eyes filled with tears, and when she saw her husband's grave face holding his young daughter, who was unconscious, she was almost about to cry out.
"It's fine, just asleep." Xu Pingzhi spoke in advance to stabilize her emotions, incidentally handing the infant daughter to his wife:
"You send her back to her room to sleep."
The aunt held her daughter tightly, and scrutinized her eldest daughter for a few moments to make sure she was fine, relieved, but didn't leave, with a sobbing voice: "What's going on, went out for a trip, how come she's like this."
Xu Ling Yue instantly cried again.
Xu Pingzhi exhaled a breath and told his wife everything that happened this morning.
When his aunt heard that Xu Ling Yue had been molested by the evil young man, her willow eyebrows rose in anger. When she heard that Xu Lingyue was almost trampled by a horse's hooves, her face turned pale and she held her youngest daughter tightly, fearing that she would be lost.
When she learned that it was Xu Qi'an who saved her two daughters and was injured as a result, she froze.
Upon hearing again that her nephew had been taken to the Ministry of Punishment, she tugged at her husband's hand in death and lost her color: "Ning Yan... He, he ...."
"It's fine, he's already out. This matter is considered settled for now." Xu Pingzhi patted his wife's hand and comforted.
"Look, if it wasn't for Ning Yan this time, Ling Yue and Suzaku would have been in danger. His temper is a bit stubborn, but his treatment of his family isn't any worse, if it were an ordinary person, would he be able to work so hard for our daughter?"
"You are always looking at him in a bad light, you think that he spends a lot of money on martial arts training, you think that it's okay to say a few words about him when you've brought him up, you think that his words are not pleasant to listen to, and that he's always working against you."
"But have you ever thought about him? Twenty years of being a parasite, and it's really that good? Is he not sensitive in his heart?"
"Women are just shallow-eyed, preferring neutral words but not looking at what people do. When Ling Yue was bullied, he was able to rush up and fight for his life. Luckily this time there was no danger, if Ning Yan really couldn't come back, you really wouldn't be heartbroken?"
As Xu Ling Yue listened, tears flowed down again, sobbing uncontrollably. Feeling that she had to repay her big brother properly in this life.
"I ...." The aunt sniffled and lowered her head to catalyze tears.
Xu New Year looked at the always strong mother, but now her eyes were full of fear and remorse, her heart moved.
Although he always called that guy "gold swallowing beast" and "unlucky goods", in fact, his mother still puts his elder brother at ease.
After all, she has raised him for nearly twenty years, and she has also raised his feelings.
Xu Pingzhi looked at his son and grunted again, "If it was your son accompanying him, this time, it is not unlikely that even he will be captured and bullied together."
Xu Erlang: "???"
....
After handing her youngest daughter over to the maids in the mansion who specialized in caring for her, and placating her eldest daughter, Auntie returned to the house with a heavy heart.
She swept her eyes at the maids and maids-in-law who were rushing to make winter clothes, and suddenly said, "Green E, reduce the winter clothes of Master and Erlang by one each, and when Dalang comes back, measure his size."
Green E looked up in surprise and disbelief, "Madam has changed her mind?"
The aunt hummed, "In your eyes, am I that kind of mean aunt?"
You are. .... A room full of maids and maids thought this in their hearts at the same time.
......
Xu Qi'an left Stargazer House, rented a carriage on the street, and took an hour to return to Xu Mansion.
When she boiled hot water for a bath, she realized that the wound on her waist was close to healing.
Applying some gold sore medicine on himself, he returned to his room, sharpened his ink, wrote a few hundred words on chemistry, and, as was his habit, began to write in his diary again.
"November 16th, this is a day to remember, because I finally decided, to give up the rich man's simple and boring life, I need power, I need force, for this, I have two ideas:
One, change the route of cultivation and take the path of Confucianism. As long as I lick the two great Confucians comfortably, I believe they will support me wholeheartedly. It's much better than crawling through the martial path on my own.
Hey, when other people cross over, they all use poetry to pretend to be a good guy, while I use poetry to make deals. Maybe that's what makes Euro Emperor different.
Second, make an effort to hook up the Caiwei girl of the Sitian Supervisor and roll in bed, with the Supervisor's backing, I can live a good life even if I don't make an effort.
Third, sell one of the magic weapons obtained from the Sitian Supervisor in exchange for the opportunity to open the Heavenly Gate.
The first idea, the disadvantage is that I have to recall the fear of being dominated by my senior year of high school again, and I may not be reading material. I'll be twenty soon, and it's a bit late to switch cultivation routes.
The second idea, the disadvantage is that I may say goodbye to the life of three wives and four concubines, and the cozy life of listening to music on the hook, the sacrifice is a bit big.
The third idea, the disadvantage is that the Qi Practicing Realm still can't defeat the Minister of the Household. Moreover, without a backer, it would be difficult to continue to advance courageously on the path of martial arts, and the fact that Second Uncle has been stuck at the peak of qi cultivation for nearly ten years is the best example of this.
For now, let's hold on to the thighs of the Si Tian Supervisor and Yun Deer Academy before planning for a follow-up, I have a hunch that the fiasco of the tax and silver case won't end here."
.....
Xu Mansion, front hall.
At dusk, Xu Qi'an went over the wall to the second uncle's house next door to finish his meal, and in the courtyard of the front hall, he saw Xu Lingyin with a shaky horse stance, her small fists beating left and right, hehehehehehehehehehe ho ho ho dubbing herself.
She was wearing a small lotus-colored coat, wrapped up like a dumpling, and her head was tied in a screw bun exclusive to young children.
"What are you pumping for?" Xu Qi'an gently kicked her on her little butt cheeks.
The little dot snapped and fell down.
"I'm practicing martial arts." Xu Lingyin climbed up, thrusting her waist and holding out her round little belly, very dissatisfied with her big brother's sneak attack, her little eyebrows raised upside down, "Big brother are you provoking me."
Probably because what she experienced in the morning had created a shadow in her young mind, this five year old felt that she should learn martial arts.
"I am." Xu Qi'an said.
"Father said that people fight for their lives, and so do martial artists. It's called... Zun .... Dignity ...."
"Dignity?"
"Uh-huh!" Xu Lingyin nodded her head vigorously at first, then glared angrily at her big brother, "I'm going to fight you."
She ran over with her two short legs, wailing and waving her fists.
Xu Qi'an pressed one hand on her head, and the little pea ding was in a big hurry, wailing and wailing while punching the king's fists randomly.
But how could she not hit big brother.
Her anxious little face twisted into a ball.
Xu Qi'an suspected that she was annoyed and negotiated, "Here's a chicken leg for you, count it as a loss."
"Okay ah." Xu Lingyin really did stop fighting the king's fists, her face elated.
"Where's your dignity?"
"Big brother, what is dignity ah."
".... Promising."
Holding the little bean ding into the hall, not much time to open the banquet, dinner is very sumptuous, like a festival.
The maids and maids-in-law intentionally or unintentionally put the best dishes in front of Xu Qi'an, he couldn't help but look at his aunt, who wore embroidered dark patterned dresses and skirts, with a delicate face, a pair of watery beautiful eyes with thick eyelashes, containing the unique flavor of a woman, just like a plump begonia flower.
As always, she had a high and cool demeanor, as if what Xu Qi'an did today was just a trivial matter.
But without her authorization, the grannies wouldn't have dared to treat Daolang Xu so favorably.
Xu Ling Yue ate with small chopsticks, finally mustering up enough courage to say, "Brother, Mother is making winter clothes for the family again, I'll measure you later, I, I want to make them for brother with my own hands."
Brother .... My mom eh .... Xu Qi'an feel bones crispy half, sister changed a rather gorgeous dress, dress embroidered with scorching lotus flowers, goose yellow poncho cloud pattern complex, her age is only sixteen or seventeen years old, this kind of colorful dress, lined with delicate and delicate face, instead of through an uncomprehending the world's rosy.
"Good, good..." Xu Ling Yue's thin skin, seeing that he didn't say anything, she lowered her head with a red face.
Instead of scum Baoyu, how should he answer at this time .... Xu Qi'an could hate the fact that he hadn't read much of the Dream of the Red Chamber in his previous life, and nodded, "Thank you."
Xu Ling Yue smiled sweetly, mirroring her aunt by her side.
Xu Qi'an withdrew his gaze and said, "Second uncle, Er Lang, go to the study after dinner, I have something to say to you."
......
Study room!
Green E served three cups of hot tea before excusing herself and leaving.
Xu Qi'an picked up the cup of tea and moistened his throat, once again lamenting the food without MSG, always feeling that something was missing.
"What do you all think about what happened this afternoon?" Xu Qi'an opened the door, seeking the opinions of his second uncle and cousin.
Aren't things already in the past .... Xu Second Uncle's face was somewhat blank.
Xu New Year frowned, "Are you trying to say that that Duke Zhou might still retaliate?"
The son of the Minister of the Household Department, who had fallen head over heels at the hands of a small Xu official, would definitely not take it lying down.
Uncle Xu waved his hand, "No, no, no, no, if it were normal, it would be just fine, but today, with the great scholar from the Cloud Deer Academy, as well as the white coat from the Heavenly Superintendent of Justice stepping in, I don't think that Zhou would dare to stir up the wind and rain."
Thinking this way was right and reasonable.
Yamen fish and meat people is not uncommon, but when it comes to the officialdom or big power, will become quite cautious.
Half of it is from childhood experience, and even if you are not stingy yannei also know that the capital city water is deep. The other half is from the father's warning.
Xu New Year shook his head, "Father, since big brother said so, there must be a reason."
He looked towards Xu Qi'an.
Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice, "I just got a piece of information today at the Divisional Superintendent, that the mastermind behind the tax and silver case is Servant Zhou."
