Chapter 193: Winter Has Finally Passed!
[Recommend my new book "The Building Will Fall", I personally think that it can still be read!]
"Everyone is gone, isn't it too crowded to hide behind?" Xu Chen picked up the tea and took a sip.
Behind the screen, a group of people led by Zhang Li suddenly twitched the corners of their mouths.
"Say, what good things have you done?" Xu Chen, who put down the teacup, said with a flat expression.
"Well...... Zhang Li rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It depends on the person!"
"Oh?" Xu Chen was surprised.
"If you are married like the second brother, it will definitely not be a good thing to do this kind of thing again!" Zhang Li said in a serious nonsense: "But our group of bachelors ......"
"Hehe, each according to his needs, can not only solve the employment problem of women who have lost their footing, but also promote the healthy development of the economy...... That's what you said, right?"
Xu Chen ignored this kid's hippie smile, slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "If you go to the Qinglou to drink a flower wine, you can provoke a prince, you are really capable!"
"We can't blame ...... this" Zhang Li lowered his head slightly and muttered softly: "That prince was obviously attracted by someone, otherwise how could it be so coincidental?"
"I think it's this guy surnamed Cui who did it!"
"Of course it's him!" Xu Chen said angrily: "What do you say you all eat?" has been watched by people for more than a month, and there is no reaction at all, and it has only been a few days, and you have slacked off like this?"
It's one thing not to care about the enjoyment of the brethren, it's another thing to be vigilant, and even if you are determined to keep them away from the dangers of the practitioners, they still have a long time ahead and countless dangers in the world.
"I think you've been getting carried away lately!" Xu Chen made a straight face and said in a deep voice: "In addition to the monthly portion in the account room, the excess expenses must be explained!"
"Don't......" As soon as these words came out, the young man next to Zhang Li suddenly changed color, although he didn't dare to complain loudly, he couldn't help but bow his head and mutter: "This will suffocate ......"
Zhang Li's face was full of embarrassment: "Big brother, this ...... What do you say, eat the marrow and know the taste, they are all energetic boys, hehe......"
"Don't give Lao Tzu a smirk!" Xu Chen shouted: "If you want to find a woman, go to a good woman to get married, are you afraid that I can't afford your bride price?"
"Huh?" Zhang Li was stunned.
Lu Hao was also stunned, and wondered: "Just look for it casually?"
"That's right, our yard is so secret, just find a woman to come in......"
"If you don't go out and find where to find?Are there so many women in the yard?" Xu Chen pointed to Lu Hao and said: "Learn from the second child, long-distance relationships can make people die, as long as you learn his skills, are you afraid that you won't find a good wife?"
"What about you, big brother, I live on the other side, and I haven't seen you for so long......"
"Shut up, what are you talking nonsense!" Zhang Li turned his head and glared at the guy, and then smiled at Xu Chen: "Big brother, don't bother with him, his brain is in water!"
In fact, Lu Hao was surprised by the change in Xu Chen's attitude, in the past few years, Xu Chen has always maintained a rigorous attitude towards manpower expansion, and has never relaxed his requirements, but now he is relieved to let the brothers marry wives, which is really a bit strange.
"After marrying a daughter-in-law, I will start a family, and I will be a little more relaxed with my wife in charge. Xu Chen explained it like this, but the real reason was only clear to him.
"Don't stay here and be stupid, you can't do less exercises every morning and evening, I will keep an eye on it myself in the future, and if you dare to be lazy, break your dog's legs!"
After everyone left, Xu Chen didn't wait for Lu Hao to open his mouth to ask, and asked directly: "The scientific expedition has ended, have you ever thought about which yamen you want to go to?"
"You have a problem!" Lu Hao said with great certainty: "After returning from Jingzhao Mansion, you seem to have changed, is something wrong?"
"What's the matter, don't think about it!" Xu Chen smiled.
"That's not right!" Lu Hao shook his head and suddenly exclaimed, "Are you trying to get us all drunk again?"
Xu Chen was silent.
Lu Hao was anxious and shouted: "Didn't you say it all? Slowly accumulate strength, and then use the way of national war to deal with them!"
"But people will die in battle!" Xu Chen also roared: "Do you want to see them die in front of you one by one?"
"Even if I win, so what? I never wanted to win!"
"Heh, hehe, hahahaha......" Lu Hao looked at Xu Chen, and gradually laughed, laughing louder: "Yes, this is originally your business! You dragged us in, and now you want everything to return to the original point and bear it by yourself, right?"
"Okay!" Lu Hao finally roared hysterically: "Then you go! When you die, we don't have to avenge you!"
Inside, it slowly fell silent.
After a long time, Xu Chen smiled bitterly: "What about you? If you have a wife, you will have children in a short time, how can I take you on an adventure? Can you not care about your wife's feelings?"
"There are always people to face it, and I have a lot of room to turn around alone, and when it comes to this step, it is not impossible to negotiate peacefully, and they are not pigs' heads, knowing that we can threaten their life and death, and they will no longer shout and kill as soon as they come up, as before. ”
"And I also thought clearly, what they want is me alive, even if there is a last resort, I am not without a chance to ......"
It has always been Xu Chen who has been talking, and Lu Hao sat on the side sullenly.
"It's better than having your brothers make fearless sacrifices, and I don't want anything to happen to any of you. ”
After speaking, Xu Chen left Lu Hao alone in the house and walked out alone.
In the courtyard, Yin Luo, who had been here for some time, greeted him and said straightly: "Big brother, I'll go with you!"
Xu Chen turned his head to look at him, full of surprise.
"I've already embarked on this road, can it be that I will marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby like them?" Yin Luo said frankly: "In this Chang'an City, I have to consume spirit stones every time I take a breath, and if I don't go with my eldest brother, will I survive here?"
"Okay!" Xu Chen smiled helplessly: "It's all my ......"
"Don't say that, the road is my own choice, left and right are just death, and vigorous is also my pursuit!" Yin Luo said with a smile.
"Providence, what about you?" As he spoke, Yin Luo looked at the corner door on the right, although he couldn't release his divine sense, his senses were much more sensitive than ordinary masters.
Being in the courtyard, I can naturally hear the quarrel in the house just now.
Zhang Tianyi then walked out of the corner gate and said calmly: "I only wanted revenge before, but now revenge is not difficult, I have seen different scenery, I always feel that it is better to break through!"
"As he said, it is difficult to catch his breath in this Chang'an City, and he is waiting for death when he sits, so he can only move forward. ”
The attitude of the two made Xu Chen a little relieved, but even more helpless, they became cultivators, and they were destined to only take the path of cultivators, even if they couldn't bear to implicate them, there was no other way to choose.
"Then it's decided!" Yin Luoxi said: "I'll ask Lao Chai and Lao Lu, and it's probably no problem." ”
"Don't say it for the time being!" Xu Chen did not forget to admonish.
"I know!" Yin Luo nodded, "I don't know where to find them now, and I can't rush this matter." ”
"Hmm. ”
Inside the house, Lu Hao looked at the three people discussing in the courtyard, and the fine pineapple chair was crumbled into pieces by him......
Winter always comes to an end, and this long winter finally goes away with the cry of the young swallows.
(This winter, it's really long!More than two years...... A thousand words! )
On March 3, the suburbs were crowded with tourists, but there were only a few floats.
"Why are there so few people this year?" Guo Keying wondered, "I remember that at this time last year, the nearby mountains couldn't be crowded. ”
Lecheng was surprised: "Don't you care about current affairs?"
"I'm not a princess, why do I care about this?" Guo Keying glanced at her.
are all friends who play small and play to big up, Guo Keying even peed in Li Longji's hands when he was a child, and in terms of closeness, he is even closer than Lecheng, the daughter born to an unknown concubine.
For the princess, there is naturally no fear of identity, and jokes are often made.
"The young talents in the city are busy petitioning, how can they have the time to come out and go out?" Lecheng said, "As for those noble girls, if there were not a large group of men around them, they would not have come to this barren mountain full of insects. ”
"A few days ago, the students who participated in this year's scientific examination gathered in front of the palace gate, saying that there was a problem with the results of the scientific examination, and they didn't know what the result was. Tang Xueying explained for Guo Keying.
"What can be the result?" Although Guo Keying didn't care about this, he was a well-educated and natural conspiracy theorist, and sneered when he heard this: "Those wealthy families have been holding the imperial examination for so many years, can a few poor students make trouble and let go?"
"Really, Lord Xu?" Guo Keying took the opportunity to throw the topic to Xu Chen, who was following him.
Xu Chen replied with a smile: "I heard that the political affairs hall has come up with a charter, so that all the big families can invite famous teachers to teach classes for free for the students who failed this year, and at the same time pay for room and board, so that they can study in Chang'an for free for one year, and they can directly take the exam next year." ”
"Did you hear that?" Guo Keying praised: "What a good move!"
"How many of those students who make trouble are really good enough to learn and not be selected? Most of them are following the trend and trying to take advantage! Now let them study for free for a year, and there are famous teachers to teach, the probability of being admitted next year will be greatly improved, if they don't agree, to the end, it is very likely that they will not even have these, what kind of choice will they make under the trade-off, is it difficult to guess?"
"Am I right, Lord Xu!" Guo Keying looked at Xu Chen with a smile again.
Xu Chen had no choice but to smile.
"The wealthy family is really ......" Tang Xueying wanted to sigh, but she didn't say anything after all, having already experienced the cruel reality.
"Don't talk about it all the time!" Lecheng saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he smiled and said: "It's not easy to come out once, of course you have to be happy!"
"Obviously, you mentioned it first, okay......" Guo Keying sneered.
"Just you talk a lot!" Lecheng glared at her, stepped forward in three or two steps, grabbed it, and walked to the side: "I don't have any eyesight, what are you doing here?"
After the two left, the atmosphere turned even more awkward.
After being silent for a long time, Tang Xuejun spoke first: "You seem to have something on your mind." ”
"Yes!" After a moment of silence, Xu Chen nodded slightly, and said frankly: "There is something that I can't get rid of, and I don't know if I should give up." ”
