Chapter Twenty-Six: Because You're a Bastard
"What's so bad, she sent me such a virtuous wife, who can wash and fold quilts, cook on the fire, and have a needlework skill, I can't be happy. ”
"But..."
Xu Ying wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Xu Daoyun is so smart, of course he understands what Xie Lian wants to say.
He pursed his lips and lowered his head, and said calmly: "Although she has purple spots on her face and a bad appearance, her heart is pure and kind. The so-called skin deceives people's eyes, but the devil has it in his heart, and the women who are as beautiful as fairies in the book are not necessarily all good people. ”
"You mean femme fatale?"
"Yes. Xu Daoyun nodded.
"Hey, you're too generalized, who said that a beautiful woman must be bad?" Xu Ying's eyes widened, glaring at Xu Daoyun, and she had to ask for an explanation.
Xu Daoyun hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't mean that, I mean that no matter how beautiful the skin is, if the heart is ugly, it is useless." ”
"You mean Xie Fenghua?"
Xu Daoyun shook his head and said: "She just doesn't want to marry me, after all, everyone has the right to choose, not to mention that it is a lifelong event, I can understand her." ”
"You are really generous, I heard that you were cleaned up by her a lot, can you really not hold a grudge?"
"I'm not a saint, and I'm not at the point of getting rid of the seven emotions and six desires. ”
"Then you don't blame her?"
"Weird, of course weird, if I have the chance, I'll definitely clean her up. ”
Xu Ying glanced at him, pouted, and said, "I thought you could really laugh at the grudge, but it turned out that you were all pretending." ”
Xu Daoyun didn't argue with her, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "After a while, can you take me to the library?"
"What are you doing in the library?" Xu Ying was angry in her heart, and her attitude was naturally not much better.
"The library building, the library building, I naturally go to read books. ”
"It's not that you don't know the way, why did you let me take you there?"
"You just say you don't have it. ”
Xu Ying rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Bring it, but you have to tell me, what books are you looking for in the library?"
Xu Daoyun had no choice but to tell the truth: "I want to go to the library to read the sword book." ”
"Sword spectrum?"
Xu Ying was puzzled: "The swordsmanship you use is so powerful, why do you have to learn anything else? I have also seen those sets of swordsmanship in the library building, and they are far worse than yours." ”
Xu Daoyun said: "The swordsmanship of the world has the same path, I want to find a common place from it, and it will definitely help my kendo attainments." ”
Xu Ying pouted and said, "I'm a little unaccustomed to listening to you speak so seriously." ”
"Then will you take me with you?"
"You're ordering me?"
"Don't dare. ”
"Okay, then Miss Ben will be merciful and take you to the library. ”
It is obviously a small matter of sesame seeds, but she said it with arrogance, as if she had given a great kindness.
The fragrance wafted out of the room, Xu Daoyun asked Xu Ying to sit for a while, and he ran into the room to help Xie Lian bring out the wine bowls and dishes.
A whole table full of big fish and meat, none of them are vegetarian, but they are not fishy and greasy, just smelling the fragrance of this dish makes people feel happy.
Xu Yingxiu snorted and sighed: "Oh, it's so fragrant, the third young lady is a good craft, no wonder Xu Daoyun always leaves early every time he tries it, it turns out that so many delicious things are made at home." ”
Xie Lian smiled shyly, handed it to her full of rice for Xu Ying, and said with a smile: "Miss Xu Ying has won the award, it's just some home-cooked food." ”
Xu Ying was not polite, pulled a large mouthful of rice into her mouth, and asked with a smile: "By the way, I don't know what the name of the third young lady is." ”
Xie Lian replied, "My name is Xie Lian." ”
"Thank you. Xu Ying repeated the name on both sides, nodded with a smile: "It looks soft and weak, and Chu Chu looks pitiful." ”
Let Miss Xu Ying smile. ”
Xu Daoyun ignored the conversation between the two women, buried his head in gobbling up, and ate a big bowl of rice in three or five bites.
After dinner, Xu Daoyun explained to Xie Lian, and then followed Xu Ying to the Inner Mansion Library.
The library building has a total of three floors, open to the public, as long as the children of the Xu family can enter to read, but it is strictly forbidden to copy, violators are heavily fined.
Normally, this library building is lively during the day and deserted at night, but these days it has been reversed.
Because of the Xu family's small competition, most of the people gathered in the martial arts arena to watch the competition during the day, and only at night did they have leisure to come to the library to read.
Today's battle between Xu Daoyun and Xu Yuanyao can be described as a sensation in the whole county, many children of the Xu family are enthusiastic to watch, and they are inspired to work hard.
The martial arts arena was also very lively, and the shouts and the sound of swords colliding could be heard from far away.
"It's here. ”
Xu Ying took Xu Daoyun to stand in a three-story building.
Xu Daoyun asked, "Can you take me up?"
"You really use me as a guide, although I ate a meal from you, but sending you here should be smooth. ”
"Help, I have a lot of books to find, and I have to rely on you to help me find them. ”
There happened to be a few children of the Xu family passing by, and one of the girls had sharp eyes and recognized Xu Daoyun at a glance.
She hurriedly pulled a few sisters and ran up, and said attentively: "Third young master, I'll help you, I am very familiar with this library, and I know where to put any books." ”
Another girl argued: "I'll come, I'll come, Third Young Master, I have placed books in the library building, and I am most familiar with the location of the books." ”
Before Xu Daoyun could speak, Xu Yingliu frowned, her eyes widened, and she shouted: "What's the matter with you, he asked me for help, not you, let me go." ”
Xu Ying is quite prestigious among the juniors of the Xu family, how dare these girls argue with her, so they have to reluctantly retreat and enter the library building step by step.
Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly: "If you don't want to help me, forget it, why did you drive all the people away?"
"Who said I won't help you, it's just that I've never liked to suffer, I'm not helping you for nothing this time, you have to pay something. ”
Xu Daoyun turned around, clapped his hands, and said, "I'm penniless, what can I give you?"
"Who wants your money?" Xu Ying glanced at him, and said with a toothy smile: "You can't take out good things, so let's do it, you promise me one thing, if I ask you in the future, you can't shirk, you need to do your best to complete it for me, how about it?"
Xu Daoyun shook his head: "Then forget it." ”
"Why?"
"If you want me to go up to heaven and help you pick the stars, how can I do that?"
Xu Ying was angry and annoyed: "Of course I won't make such unrealistic requests, as long as you are willing to give me a promise." ”
"Promises can also be unkept, aren't you afraid that I will deny it?"
"Don't be afraid. Xu Ying shook her head.
"Why?" Xu Daoyun looked at her with interest.
"Because you're a bastard!"
Xu Ying was furious, and a coquettish voice attracted the attention of many people outside the library.
