Chapter 32: The Boat Against the Current
"Don't worry, everyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I sent the elders to know that someone has done all the bad things in the name of the Yuan Tan faction. All the robbers have been captured, and the twenty-seven people who have been taken captive have also been rescued. Now they are on their way back, and it will not be long before they can safely return to each of their parents. Rest assured, everyone. ”
I looked at my brother's back and explained the truth of the matter in just a few words. In my brother, I seemed to see my father's shadow, calm and heavy. It also left a strong mark on my heart.
Undoubtedly, this truth is to completely kill his own merits and push all those involved on the illusory elders of the Yuantan Sect, but it is also the most perfect way to minimize the riot. In my brother's eyes, there was an incomparably comfortable light, this is the disciple of the Yuantan Sect, is this maturity?
I firmly believe in ......
At this time, a middle-aged man with a goatee walked in through the crowd and said with a happy face, "Young Master Qingyang...... You're back, how can the second son come back with you! Please come with me first and come into the shop to talk. ”
The middle-aged man's surname is Ai, his name is Fengcheng, and he is one of the nine principals of our Ai family.
The huge business power of the Ai family carries the "Jiuding", and his father has also set up nine directors to be in charge of these nine industries. And Uncle Ai is one of these nineties, in charge of all the silk and satin houses, dyeing workshops, and clothing shops under the Ai family. Although Ai Fengcheng has the same surname as his father, he is not our family. And his father's trust in him is something that even his family can't do.
When I was a child, I called him uncle. And the elder brother, under the arrangement of his father a long time ago, stayed as an apprentice in every shop of Ai's family, of course, including silk and satin shops and clothing shops, and they all called him Uncle Ai.
With Uncle Ai's pace to the "Bamboo Leaf Shengfang" just one street away, three or two women and a girl in the shop with happy events were here early in the morning to choose fabrics. And we went straight into the back room.
"Girl in the moon, hurry up and drink hot tea to warm up."
"Thank you, Uncle Ai."
As soon as I entered the door, Uncle Ai poured three cups of tea for me, my brother, and Yue'er. Uncle still likes Yue'er girl, and in Ai Mansion, there are not many people who can drink the tea made by Uncle Ai. Little Brother Li is one, but he is cheeky and forced to ask for it.
If it weren't for the relationship between Brother Li's father and Steward Li, Uncle Ai probably wouldn't let him do anything.
"The eldest son, the second son, after the second prince left the house yesterday, I saw Li Xiaozi come back, and said that Gongzi, you have been selected as a disciple by the Immortal Sect, and we feel that something is wrong. Sure enough, last evening, the lord and the lady had just arrived, and before dinner was served, a few people from the Dianwei Mansion came to ask for some immortal fees, and threatened to ask for what immortals wanted, and we only now knew where you went. ”
Uncle Ai carefully recounted the events of yesterday, and as his brother said, the Dianwei Mansion played the role of a butcher's knife in it. "The master asked Steward Li to send people from the Dianwei Mansion, and at the same time sent people around overnight to find the whereabouts of the second son. I didn't expect the son to come back early this morning, and he came back with the eldest son, and the lord and the lady must have been happy to see it. ”
"Uncle Ai, where are they immortals, they are actually bandits on Black Pig Mountain pretending. Thanks to my brother's ruse, he was able to rescue Yue'er and me, as well as the other twenty-five boys and girls who had been taken captive. At this time, the group of bandits were tied up in the black pig village! ”
"What! Is this really the case? Those guys are so bold. As soon as he heard that Yue'er and I were tied up, Uncle Ai's expression changed instantly, and he said angrily: "I saw the second son return safely just now, and I thought that group of people were really some kind of immortals, but I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, it was a group of bandits who sought money and killed people. ”
"Uncle Ai, don't be angry, fortunately, my brother and Yue'er are safe and sound, and those wicked people are also locked up in the cottage and can't get out for a while. When I go back to see my father, and then explain it to Liu Dianwei, I will definitely capture them all and take this evil breath for you. My brother said seriously.
"Haha! Okay, we've got to get them all arrested. After listening to his brother's words, Uncle Ai laughed again. It can be seen that the return of my brother this time is really the biggest joy of the Ai family. "You take a rest here, and I'll prepare a carriage to take you home." The lord and the lady failed to find the second son, they must be in a hurry. ”
"Hmm!"
……
I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, my head felt heavy.
In the morning, when we returned to Aifu in a carriage, my brother and I told our father and mother everything that had happened in the past two days.
After that, before the father had time to say a few words to his brother who had just returned, and he didn't even take a good look at this grown son, he ran to the Dianwei Mansion to ask for his guilt.
Only my mother was left, taking me and my brother by the hand, and came to my brother's room, which had been cleaned up a few days earlier. Ever since my brother went to the Yuantan faction when he was thirteen years old, the furnishings of this room have not changed. We talked in the room for a long, long time, but it always ended up choking.
After that, I fell asleep, I don't even remember when my brother left, so I just lay on my brother's bed and slept comfortably until now.
At this time, the sunlight outside the window has long been penetrated by darkness, and the whole room is only an oil lamp on the table, which is slightly dim. The flames rose in the air, and the flickering figures confirmed the presence of the breeze.
"Young Master, you're awake!" Yue'er pushed the door in, greeted me with a smile, and then walked to the basin to scrub the sweat towel.
"Well, I've slept for a long time! What time is it? ”
"It's just past the hour. The young master has slept for five hours, and the master has already returned, and now he is waiting for you to eat with his wife and young master Qingyang! Yue'er said while wiping my cheeks with a warm sweat towel.
"Well, ha, the family hasn't eaten together for a year. Finally, I don't have to listen to my father's nagging anymore, my brother is my life talisman. Okay, Sister Yue'er, I'm going to eat, you should go eat too! I won't have to wait for you today, and remember to let the kitchen cook more delicious food. ”
"Well, young master, you go quickly!"
My figure soon merged with the darkness. Yue'er held a sweat towel and watched me walk away, and couldn't help laughing. The steaming sweat towel in his hand, the delicate peony, and a little bright red penetrated from the stamens.
The familiar night sky overhead, with countless unknown birds soaring, seemingly free, but still trying to fly.
And I, which of them will I be, an eagle, an eagle, or something?
A river is flowing, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to merge into a roaring torrent.
