"My master is very knowledgeable, he will teach me to read. Xiao Si is not in a hurry, he originally spoke coldly, not like a seven-year-old child, but now he has more stubborn persistence, which makes people really have a headache.

Lin Ping'er pulled Bai Yihong's sleeve and whispered: "His father, if you have something to say to the child, let's persuade him again." ”

Bai Yihong sighed again and again, as soon as he thought of Xiao Si's life experience and ruthlessness, he felt even more that Xiao Si was not suitable for martial arts.

On the second day, Xiao Si actually took his master to the Bai family's courtyard, which was the Xuanjizi he mentioned in his mouth.

Xuanjizi has white hair and is probably in his sixties, but his face is ruddy, his eyes are clear, and he walks very steadily, and he looks like an old man in good health.

"Father, mother, this is my master's mystery. Xiao Si introduced himself to his family.

Xuan Jizi stroked his beard, smiled and greeted Bai Yihong and his wife, he looked like a fairy wind and bones, Bai Yihong was not easy to lose his temper, so he had to let Yahuan serve tea, and he chatted with Xuan Jizi.

Lin Ping'er quietly went out of the house, looked for Cui Fan, and whispered, "Captain Cui, you go and check." She winked at Cui Fan.

Cui Fan immediately went out to investigate.

Xuanjizi stayed at Bai's house for a meal, but he got acquainted with Bai Yihong, he said that before he went to become a Taoist priest, he also farmed, but he had a lot of topics with Bai Yihong. Bai Yihong found out that he was a good dealer, that is, now he is an elder in the Huashan faction, and he also grows vegetables in the backyard on weekdays, and his impression of him has suddenly improved a lot.

In the end, the Bai family was embarrassed to show Xuan Jizi's face, but when he proposed to take Xiaosi to Huashan to practice martial arts, Bai Yihong said: "My family is my eldest daughter, let's wait for us to ask her what she means." ”

Xuanjizi didn't force it, and left after a few polite words.

On the second day, Cui Fan checked it out, Xuan Jizi was indeed an elder of the Huashan faction, and he also had some prestige in the rivers and lakes, and he was a very virtuous old man, even the city lord Meng Liangsheng was polite to him, and he now lives in the city lord's mansion and is a guest of honor in the city lord's mansion.

The Bai family breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Zepei said to his father: "If Xiaosi insists, let him go, so as not to have a grudge in the future." ”

In the final analysis, Xiao Si is not born to Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er, if he is biological, if he doesn't agree with him, he can be beaten and scolded, but Xiao Si's situation is special, that is, Bai Yihong is angry again, and he can't bear to beat Xiao Si.

Xiao Si still sleeps in the same room with Bai Zepei now, and at night, Xiao Si has not slept, he waited until Bai Zepei put down the book, and then said: "Second brother, I really decided to practice martial arts, it's not bad to study, but I think I prefer to practice martial arts, and if I practice martial arts, I can also take the martial arts exam, and I can also enter the court as an official in the future, and I can protect everyone more." ”

Bai Zepei looked at him for a long time without speaking, and finally asked, "Do you really like to practice martial arts, or do you think that practicing martial arts can protect us?"

"I like it. Xiao Si replied firmly.

"I think the same as Ruozhu, I don't want your life to bear any burden, the road to martial arts is much more difficult than studying, if you don't like it in your heart, but choose this path for others, then the future will only be more difficult, so you have to think clearly, Ruozhu and I don't need you to sacrifice anything for your family. Bai Zepei said.

Xiao Si's expression was also stern, "Second brother, I really like to practice martial arts, and I am reluctant to let everyone go, but I don't want to miss such a good opportunity." ”

Bai Zepei nodded and said, "Okay, since you have decided, I'll tell my father and mother tomorrow." ”

Three days later, Xiao Si followed Xuan Jizi out of Beiyu City, and everyone in the Bai family sent them out of the city all the way, Lin Ping'er's eyes were swollen from crying, and Xiao Si cried even if his mind was more mature than that of children of the same age.

Before leaving, he knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed to Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er three times, and said, "Father, mother, I'm leaving, you must take care of your health, I will go home to see you when I have time." ”

Lin Ping'er rushed over and pulled him up, and found that the child's forehead was bruised, and she hugged him in distress and cried even more fiercely.

Xuan Jizi hid to the side with some embarrassment, as if he forced other people's flesh and blood to separate, what a sin.

Xiao Si cried with Lin Ping'er for a while, and then said goodbye to the rest of the family, and then left with his master.

Seeing that Xuanjizi didn't ride a horse, he picked up the four small strides and walked forward, obviously thinking that he was walking leisurely and not walking fast, but after a few steps, he had already gone far away, and he couldn't see their figures in a blink of an eye.

"The Xuanji Zidao Master is really profound, and this is also the blessing of the fourth young master. Cui Fan next to him couldn't help but say, his eyes full of envy.

The Bai family was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but be happy for Xiao Si, he could worship such a powerful master, and his future future would definitely be limitless.

By the time Bai Ruozhu received Xiaosi's letter, she had already done a good job of giving the Queen Mother's birthday ceremony, and Jiang Yichun also entered the palace to persuade the emperor to arrange for him to be the captain of the North Corner City, and when the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was over, he would be able to leave Beijing with his wife and children to take office.

Bai Ruozhu had just been happy about this for a few days, and after reading Xiao Si's letter, his face sank.

"What's wrong with this lady? Who upset you?" Jiang Yichun came back from outside, and just watched this scene, he joked with her, and picked up the letter and read it.

After reading it, he put his arm around Bai Ruozhu's shoulders and persuaded: "Silly lady, a man has ambitions in all directions, and it is also a good opportunity for him to worship a famous teacher, and besides, you can't go to Huashan to see him." ”

Bai Ruozhu pouted and said, "But I'm not at ease, who knows if the word Xuanji is true, what if it's a liar?"

Jiang Yichun smiled and scratched her nose and said, "I know this person Xuan Jizi, he has a good relationship with Meng Liangsheng, he is a VIP of the City Lord's Mansion, and if you want to come to the liar, you don't dare to use his name to hang around in the North Corner City." And isn't your chief of guard from the City Lord's Mansion? He can't find out if the mystery is real?"

Bai Ruozhu was relieved when she heard this, but thinking of Xiao Si's life experience, she couldn't help but sigh and told Jiang Yichun what she thought in her heart.

At the mention of Niu Cuihua, Jiang Yichun's expression was a little stiff, and Bai Ruozhu quickly sensed that something was wrong with him, pulled his cheek and said, "Did you hide something from me?"

Jiang Yichun smiled bitterly, "When the mountain bandits slaughtered the village, Niu Cuihua was really fine, but her man was seriously injured, and she was originally rescued, but she didn't expect it to be repeated after a few days, so she just let go." Xiaosi's background is special, I'm afraid that people will make a fuss about it, so I didn't mention it to you. ”
