Chapter 18: Ancestor Worship (II)

Xu Jiang has always hated ancestor worship and family banquets, but she must participate, because she is the second lady of the Xu Mansion after all, and her personality is completely different from her gentle and virtuous mother, but rather like her uncle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info mother's family originally lived in the grassland in the northwest of Xuansu County, and later in the war with the Han Dynasty, her uncle Murong Ba was killed in battle, and her mother also became a prisoner, and was rewarded to a captain, but because the captain's family was not rich, and transferred to Master Xu Qian at a price of more than 100 gold, Lord Xu Qian had a feeling of familiarity at first sight to Murong Family, so he did not discriminate against her as a Xianbei person, but gave her the general courtesy of a Han woman, making her his second concubine. The Murong family later gave birth to Xu Jiang and Xu Ban for Master Xu.

Xu Jiang didn't like to read since she was a child, and she didn't like female celebrities and piano music, but she liked to dance with guns and sticks, but her family found out that she was born with divine power since she was a child, and she was more fierce than ordinary men. It is precisely because of her irritable and rough personality that she is now eighteen years old, but she has not yet married, to be honest, she is not in a hurry about her marriage, after all, her eldest sister and third sister are all graceful women, and now they have already married out of the house, and the eldest sister Xu Ying even gave birth to a son, and the third sister is said to have also conceived a child. In the face of the chatter of her family, she did not change her nature, she knew that she would definitely meet the man who liked to dance with knives and guns by himself.

Ancestor worship for Xu Jiang, is both boring and a kind of torture, her personality may be the closest to modern people, the former fourth sister Xu Rong is savage and naughty, rude, and always dirty, so although Xu Jiang doesn't like her, but he doesn't hate her, and he never uses violence against her. And she feels a sense of disgust for Xu Rong now, perhaps because she subconsciously hates those women who are too weak as water, and she is not very affectionate to her mother.

Even so, she still cared a little about Xu Rong, because since the change of the fourth sister, there have been many things in the house that have never happened before, and she has to be concerned. Just like today, she found that the second brother and the third brother, Xu Yi and Xu Ye, were secretly discussing something before they set off, and whether the two of them were looking at the fourth sister Xu Rong, but the fourth sister didn't notice it at all. She felt that these two seemed to be going to do something, but now that the fourth sister was the most favored by her father, she was curious about what these two dared to do, so she had been wary of Xu Yi and Xu Ye, until these two deceived the fourth sister in a few words, and she took her spear and secretly followed.

"Oh, fourth sister, the third brother forgot to take the bamboo flute, what a pity." Xu Ye suddenly said to Xu Rong.

Dong Xiaoyou listened and was very surprised, "The third brother can play the flute?" Rong'er wants to hear about it. ”

Xu Ye then said: "Since the fourth sister is interested, how can I let the fourth sister be disappointed, then I will go back and get my bamboo flute now." He was about to turn around and leave, but immediately pretended to be worried and said, "No, how can I leave the fourth sister here alone." ”

Dong Xiaoyou looked around, and felt that this place was quiet and quiet, it didn't seem to be any danger, and it was not far from the place where the ancestors were worshipped, and soon they would all come over, so he smiled and said to Xu Ye: "Third brother don't worry about Rong'er, this place is very safe, the third brother should go back quickly, Rong'er wants to listen to your flute." ”

A sneer at the corner of Xu Ye's mouth was inadvertently revealed, but in Dong Xiaoyou's eyes, it became a general smile, and her confused personality at the critical moment seemed to have no way to change...... "Then, the fourth sister will be born here and wait for us to come back together." With that, he walked away quickly.

Gongsun Leopard's horse is slowly approaching...... Dong Xiaoyou saw that he was the only one here at present, and his heart was not particularly stable, but then he thought: What's wrong with him? In the past, it was not that no one walked by at night, but now in ancient times, he became worried in the middle of the day? It's really bold. She soothed her mood, lowered her head and closed her eyes again, and began to play the jade zheng.

Xu Jiang saw that the fourth sister actually let the third brother leave, and secretly scolded this girl in her heart for being ignorant, and just wanted to go out to blame her, but her keen ears heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and suddenly remembered, so it was so...... This is the "conspiracy" that the second brother and the third brother planned early on! They don't dare to do anything to the fourth sister, but they can find people outside the house to make trouble, if the fourth sister falls into the hands of people outside the house alone, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Gongsun Leopard smiled proudly: he could already see the little girl sitting quietly in front of the jade zither in the distance, this was his goal today, and it was also the "plan" that Xu Ye secretly discussed with him. Although his mind was actually more on Xu Jiang at this time, it would be a beautiful thing if he could successfully possess Xu Rong.

Dong Xiaoyou finally heard the sound of horses' hooves, she raised her head in surprise, and found that a person not far away was riding a tall white horse towards her...... Isn't this the so-called "Prince Charming"? No, that's not right, most of the people who rushed over at this time without asking the reason were bad people, right? She panicked, neither got up nor screamed, but sat still, like a student who was called by the teacher in class but had not yet come to her senses.

Gongsun Leopard is getting closer and closer to her, and she is about to stop the horse, and the plan of him and Xu Ye and others is like this, the design is to let Xu Rong alone, and then Gongsun Leopard will ride a horse to take her away, so that no matter whether Gongsun Leopard has done anything to her, the news that Xu Rong was kidnapped will spread, and it will definitely damage her reputation, then Gongsun Leopard will come to the door again to propose marriage, even if Xu Rong is unwilling, there is nothing to do.

Gongsun Leopard looked at Xu Rong, who was pale in fear in front of him, and laughed and said, "Little beauty, my brother is here to pick you up!" With that, he prepared to dismount and grab Xu Rong.

"Presumptuous!!" With a coquettish shout, Xu Jiang rushed out with a spear, Gongsun Leopard suddenly heard this female voice like a lion roar in Hedong, and was immediately startled, seeing that Xu Jiang's spear was about to stab himself, he hurriedly turned over and dodged.

"Second sister!!" Dong Xiaoyou seemed to see a savior at this moment, and she looked at Xu Jiang with gratitude.

"Wow, that awesome beauty came that day?" Gongsun Leopard's good deeds were ruined, but he had a happy expression, in fact, what he was most concerned about in the past few days was this woman with superb martial arts Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang pointed the spear at him, and said indifferently: "Get acquainted, get out of the way of this girl now, otherwise, my spear will not have eyes!" ”

Gongsun Leopard had an indifferent expression on his face, "Beauty, do you dare to do it?" Do you want to know what kind of character my grandson leopard is? If you hurt me, I'm afraid that the rich days of your Xu family will come to an end. ”

"Shameless ......" Even Dong Xiaoyou, who was on the side, couldn't stand his scoundrel appearance, and scolded in a low voice. This kind of second-generation official should be punished severely, but she was also frightened by that sentence. After all, she also heard from Biluo's mouth what a noble status this Gongsun Leopard Prince had in Xuansu County.

"So, do you want to give it a try?" Xu Jiang's face did not change at all, his face was still like frost, "I killed you, it's a big deal that my life is worth your life, at most, our Xu family will leave this Xuansu County from now on, but your little life will be gone, I can also be regarded as getting rid of the many sisters in Xuansu County who have been harmed by you, think about it yourself." ”

Gongsun Leopard looked slightly panicked, but said with a smile: "That...... Why do you bother? Are you willing to die for my sake? So why bother, why don't we both die? ”

“…… Stay back. Xu Jiang still looked at him coldly and arrogantly.

"Second sister!! Brother Gongsun!! What's going on? Fighting each other? Xu Yi, Xu Ye and others rushed over, and Xu Ye secretly thought in his heart: Alas...... The plan failed, and it was all because a second sister was killed halfway. He underestimated the second sister, but he didn't expect that the second sister secretly still cared about the fourth sister who was originally very annoying.

Seeing that Xu Yi, Xu Ye, Biluo and others had arrived, Xu Jiang slowly put down the spear, turned around and planned to leave without saying a word.

Gongsun Leopard hurriedly stopped her and explained, "Girl, why do you want to leave? Actually, I was just joking, I wanted to scare and scare you, the cute fourth sister, she is so young, how could I really beat her up? Xu Jiang glared at him and walked away.

Dong Xiaoyou was dissatisfied for a while, hum, what kind of scare and scare, he suddenly rode out on a horse, causing people to be scared half to death. When Xu Jiang walked past Dong Xiaoyou, he deliberately whispered: "Don't you forget your own identity, but your father spoiled you and you became conscious?" From now on, do your own thing! This sentence is very ugly, and Dong Xiaoyou's original good impression of her has dropped again......

Biluo hurriedly ran over and asked, "Fourth Miss, are you okay?" She had already noticed the slightest discord, and she blamed herself for not leaving Miss Fourth easily.

"It's okay...... But the courage was really almost scared. Dong Xiaoyou said half-jokingly, and at the same time glanced at Xu Yi and Xu Ye, Xu Yi's face suddenly turned red, his expression was panicked, Xu Ye's face was pale, and his expression was weird. She thought to herself, hmph, these two people originally looked like one white and one black, but now they have become one red and one white, it's ridiculous. I thought that the two of them had changed their sex and wanted to reconcile with themselves, although Dong Xiaoyou was often confused, but after all, she was not a stupid person, this time she was clearly deceived by Xu Yi and Xu Ye, how could she not guess? I didn't expect to calculate myself so much, and I also lost myself stupidity and blindness, and I actually believed them? Xu Rong's childhood memories are full of bullying by these two people, and he is really ...... If you haven't suffered a loss yourself, you don't know how to remember it for a long time.

"Thank you two brothers for bringing Rong'er to such a good place today, Rong'er is really ...... It's a great benefit. Xu Rong got up and waved at Xu Yi and Xu Ye, and said meaningfully. Sister Biluo, Ye'er, Mei'er, let's go. ”

Ye'er and Mei'er didn't know the situation very well, and Ye'er blinked and asked, "Miss, let's... Don't enjoy the scenery anymore? ”

Dong Xiaoyou had already walked away a few steps, and turned around to show a bright smile: "Don't appreciate it, no matter how good the scenery here is, it has also been stained by people's hearts, now I just want to go back early, let's go, Ye'er." ”

These words made Xu Yi and the others uneasy for a while, and seeing that Xu Jiang and Xu Rong had walked away, Gongsun Leopard shrugged his shoulders boringly: "I did what you said, and now it's like this...... Forget it, sooner or later both will have to be mine. With that, he rode away.

Xu Yi and Xu Ye stood dumbfounded for a while, Xu Ye sighed and said: "Alas, I'm afraid this kind of opportunity will be difficult in the future, the fourth sister is like that, it's really a little gloomy......"

Xu Yi was mixed in his heart, until now, he didn't understand whether he should be like this or not, but thinking that no one had suffered a loss now, he suddenly became enlightened, "Forget it, the third brother, the fourth sister is fine, and the second brother is afraid that if things get bigger, we won't end well." ”

Xu Ye tilted his head helplessly, "What you said is also true, there are always good and bad sides to everything, maybe the failure of our plan today is indeed not necessarily a bad thing." ”

The two twin brothers looked at each other and smiled, and then walked back.
