The wind was cold and dewy at night, Lin Xu and Hongchen watched the figure of Sister Zhu'er's master and servant disappear into the night, so they also went back, but they couldn't sleep well when they returned to the house, and the two of them looked at each other together, and they were a little worried.

"The young master's background, can Hongchen know?" Lin Xu sighed, he knew all the information about the big and small forces in the capital and the important people, but no matter how it was, he didn't investigate his family's habits at every turn, so he really didn't know anything about that young master.

Hongchen shook his head: "I only know that it is the nephew of the third aunt, named Xu Ning, who came to the capital to say that he was going to take the academy entrance examination, but in fact, it was to avoid trouble, he probably fought with people at home, and provoked a character who could not be provoked, so he could only come to his aunt." "When the Lin family San Lang got married, the family was still very good, and the wife he married was naturally a tiger girl, but when something happened to the Lin family, the in-laws were either hiding far away, or they were affected, and the third aunt's family did not hide, but unfortunately the life was not good, as early as before the Lin family had an accident, the family made a mistake, dismissed from office, and the family retreated to their hometown, and then became more and more declining.

Lin Xu thought thoughtfully: "Actually, if the person is good, the main thing is that Sister Zhu should like it, and it is not impossible to marry this family." "I just see that Sister Zhu is willing to accept other people's invitations in the middle of the night, at least she doesn't hate this person, and Sister Zhu is not high or low now, and it is not easy to find a suitable good person.

Hongchen snorted out laughing, looked at Lin Dagongzi's stunned eyes, and covered the quilt: "Sleep, don't worry." "It's just that looking at the fairy-like Lin Dagongzi, who is actually worried about his youngest daughter's marriage at this time, it still feels a little incredible.

The night was hazy, the tent fell, Hongchen fell asleep, opened his eyes suddenly, and scolded sharply: "Go!" ”

Qing Feng suddenly emitted a light, only to hear a terrible wail, and a dark shadow on the window left only a thick black mist, and turned to retreat.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xu sat up.

Xiaohe didn't know when he appeared in the house, his whole body was on guard, his muscles were tense, and his mouth made a whimpering sound. Hongchen hurriedly pulled him, asked him to take a few steps back, and took out two pills from his purse and stuffed them into Xiao He's mouth.

Lin Xu took a cloak and put it on Hongchen and protected it in front of her.

"Don't worry, it's something, it's just that you found me, and it's really brave." Hongchen was not nervous, so he lit the lamp casually and shone at the window, only to see a charred black thing under the window, emitting a foul smell, and even Hongchen covered his nose and left.

Looking outside, it was quiet outside, Hongchen thought about it and smiled: "It's okay, scare this thing, presumably it doesn't have the strength to make trouble for the time being, let's rest first, and we'll see what the hell it is tomorrow during the day." ”

Having said that, Hongchen can sleep peacefully, but Lin Xu and Xiaohe don't want to sleep all night, early in the morning of the second day, Lin Xu put on a pair of dark circles under his eyes, so that the old and young in the family comforted him, and the old lady was even more distressed, Lin Xu persuaded him for a long time before persuading him.

However, the old lady still told the people below to clean up the house where Lin Xu and the others lived, thinking that it must be not very comfortable to live, so the child could not sleep well.

The people were also startled when they saw the black mud-like thing, covered their noses and hurriedly cleaned it up, and no one dared to tell the old lady.

Lin Xu was tossed by the old man, after breakfast, he didn't see Sister Zhu and Er, it is said that the two girls are now studying books, and the family wants them to try to see if they can be admitted to the girls' school. Of course, the hope is not very big, most of the students of the women's school are relatively young, the oldest is seventeen or eighteen years old, the two of them are older, and they are not geniuses with any specialty, so they can make an exception for the women's school, but even so, the family still wants to try.

"Hey, after so many years of delay, we are so old that we are nothing, and the men are fine, but the girls are really ......"

The third aunt was also uncomfortable, everyone was a little silent, no matter how open-minded they were, and then they could think openly, but for so many years, they have been accused and slandered, and there is nowhere to tell their grievances, the children have no future, as if they will never see hope, and those days are really difficult.

Lin Xu smiled: "Now that everything has passed, it will be fine." ”

The old lady also smiled, the folds on her face were stretched, her old man was dressed up very festively, rare and glamorous, and asked the women to dress up, and dragged Lin Xu and Hongchen to the martial arts arena, she had to give them a big knife, so scared that the third aunt and the fifth aunt hurriedly competed with a knife one by one, so that they could occupy the martial arts arena, don't let her old man toss again, they are all more than 100 years old, no matter how good their bodies are, where do they dare to let her use knives and guns.

Not to mention, the kung fu of the two aunts is not a fist embroidery leg, and the dance is not only vigorous, but also really has some foundation, but the stamina is insufficient, and after a while, they are tired and panting, coaxing the old lady to go back and rest.

Lin Xu and Hongchen glanced at each other and smiled, even Lin Xu was a little less nervous, and he didn't think much about the accident that happened last night.

"Why don't I lead the lady around."

The house where the Lin family lives now is just a separate courtyard of the Lin family in the past, which is not big and very old, but Lin Xu still walked around with Hongchen, and Hongchen also looked carefully, there are armor used by Lin Wuji, the king of the frontier, and the weapons used by the brothers of the Lin family since childhood.

Hongchen's eyes fell on a slender sword, looking at the hair and broken hair, it was a good sword, but generals rarely used swords, even if they did, they were mostly ornaments.

"This is Xiao Mo's." Hongchen couldn't help but pick it up and rub it, and sighed.

Lin Xu's face also showed a hint of remembrance: "It was given by my mother when he first started practicing martial arts, he has loved beauty since he was a child, he has to take a bath three times a day, and the armor he wears can't let others move, he has to wipe it clean by himself, he doesn't love knives, guns and sticks, he only loves swords, just because the sword is a gentleman in weapons, and wearing it on his body will make him look outstanding." ”

Hongchen was stunned and laughed for a while - that kind of Xiao Mo was not the Xiao Mo she had ever seen. Looking at this sword again, looking at the shelves, there are some old things, and she doesn't feel warm in her heart, that is what she doesn't know, it belongs to Xiao Mo, carefree youth, that person, after all, has had a happy and happy time.

Lin Xu also watched it with relish, not only looked at the weapons and armor, but also went to the old prince's study to take a turn, and the military books in it all had the old prince's annotations, well, it was written quite reasonably, but occasionally he complained a little, and criticized some generals as worthless, full of arrogance, presumably written when he was young.

Hongchen flipped through the bookcase and smiled--the old prince's study is not only the military books and those serious books of the subset of scriptures and histories, but also all kinds of miscellaneous books.

As soon as Lin Xu lowered his head and saw it, he coughed loudly, stuffed things with his hands and feet, put his arms around Hongchen's shoulders with a red face, and pushed her out: "Let's not look around." "Let's let the elders save some face.

Looking back at the door of the study, Hongchen's expression became gentle little by little, and Lin Xu's expression was also extremely gentle. The appearance of the old prince seemed to emerge in front of him, that person was no longer a stereotyped, shadow-like figure high above, and suddenly became vivid, flesh and blood, he was also a person, a real person.

"I really want to see his old man again, I really want to talk to his old man again." The corners of Lin Xu's eyes unconsciously showed a little crystal tears, Hongchen was unwilling to laugh at him, his son wanted to raise but did not wait, the great sorrow of the world.

After turning around for a long time, Hongchen walked to the gate of the Cuiyuan where the two sisters, Sister Zhu and Sister Zhen, lived, her face changed suddenly, and she stopped.

Lin Xu held her hand: "That thing was in Cuiyuan yesterday?" In a word, the look on his face also became extremely serious, although he didn't mention it, but that thing last night did worry him, if he met outside, he could deal with it calmly, but this was home, surrounded by his relatives.

Hongchen walked in slowly, and saw Sister Zhu sitting under the shade of the tree, holding a book reading, and quickly stood up when she heard footsteps, "Brother, sister-in-law." ”

Lin Xu responded with a smile, asked a few words in a low voice, her expression was gentle, Sister Zhu didn't have the nervousness she had at the beginning, she replied with a smile, and she was generous, this is a very beautiful woman, that kind of beauty is not particularly impactful, the whole person is as gentle as water, but at this moment, Hongchen only saw a black shadow hanging on her neck, and the black shadow could still see her face, it should be a woman, she looked very beautiful, her expression was blank, she stared at Hongchen and opened her mouth, as if she had something to say, but she had a deep scar on her throat, There were also some strange rune marks on her body, so that she couldn't speak at all.

Squinting at the black shadow for a long time, Hongchen's expression also became slightly softened, although hanging on Sister Zhu'er's body will definitely have some impact on Sister Zhu'er's body, but obviously this thing is not actively attacking Sister Zhu'er, and it has no intention of hurting her.

Hongchen withdrew a string of Buddhist beads from his wrist and handed it over with a smile: "Sister, I heard that you want to take the women's examination, my beads, you wear them on your body when you read, you can calm your mind, and you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Sister Zhu'er's face was red, although she was shy, she still took it, whispered thanks, and as soon as she took the Buddha beads, she put them on her wrist and rubbed them, only to feel that the beads were warm to the touch, and even her body was warm for a while, and she liked it even more.

The black shadow on her body suddenly showed a painful look, rolling again and again, and her whole body seemed to evaporate, but she still gritted her teeth and drilled hard into Sister Zhu'er.

Hongchen stretched out his hand and slashed in mid-air, took out a piece of rune paper and folded it gently, and the black shadow swished and was contained inside.

"Sister, let's study, I'll go around with your brother again."

Sister Zhu didn't think much about it, got up and sent the two of them out of the yard, but Lin Xu and Hongchen didn't have the heart to continue to turn, and went straight back to their own house, Hongchen closed the doors and windows, pasted the rune paper one by one, patted a vibrating Qingfeng, and also took it out and put it on the table, before opening the rune paper and letting go of the black shadow.

The black shadow shrank next to the window, trying to squeeze out, but he didn't dare to touch the charm, so he could only turn his head and look at Hongchen pitifully, two black tears rolled down, Hongchen looked at it carefully, regardless of its objections, took a cup, added two runes to it, brewed it with water, and sprayed it towards the black shadow.

As soon as this rune water sprayed up, it obviously made it extremely painful, but it only dodged for a while, and then stiffened and refused to dodge again, again and again, the black gas on its body disappeared little by little, and it finally revealed its true face, it was actually a particularly beautiful woman, about twenty years old, a little cinnabar mole at the center of the eyebrows, although it was thinner, but it looked really good, not to mention in the countryside, even in the capital, this is also a beautiful girl, but she exposed a scar from the edge of a knife, her wrist was Qi Qi, and there were also scars on her neck, Except for one face, it can be said that none of them are intact.

As soon as the woman relieved herself, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and cried: "Please save my sister from the immortal master, please the immortal master, please you!" ”

Hongchen sighed: "You get up and speak slowly." She was a little numb, mainly because she had seen too much of all kinds of misery, and she was not as easily moved as she was at the beginning, but the despair she saw from this woman at this time was so strong that even she was infected, and she couldn't help but have an urge to cry.

The woman lowered her head, finally came back to her senses, and told her what had happened to her.

Her surname is Wu, called Wu Zhaodi, she has a younger sister, named Lai Di, and a younger brother, named Wu Liang, they live in a small village in Jiangzhou, the family is not poor, there are a few acres of land, her father will do some carpenter work, her mother's embroidery work is also good, she can sell some silver, although her parents say that she is patriarchal, but the local situation is like this, men are the top households, girls are born to lose money, and they will marry out in the future, and they must work hard at home, take good care of their parents and brothers, in general, Life is quite ordinary.

"My sister was born smart, my father sent my brother to study, and occasionally let our sisters go to deliver food to my brother, just by eavesdropping outside the door, my sister learned to read and write, and also overheard some books."

Wu Zhaodi's face unconsciously showed a little pride, "My sister's ability to read and write, even those men in the academy can't compare, and then we overheard the master say that women can also read outside, and there are also female schools to go to, go to school, literacy, you can find an errand in school, if you read well, you can also start a women's school by yourself, or go to a big family to be a female gentleman, and even be able to take the female official exam seriously, my sister can't help but yearn for it, and she has been talking non-stop for several nights, I can't help but think, If my father is willing to let my sister read seriously, she must be better than my brother, my brother doesn't like to read, he likes to play, the eldest is alone, and he still takes the money to buy books for him all day long, and goes to the county town with his fox friends and dog friends, but unfortunately I can only think about it, my brother is a man, no matter how stupid he is, he is also the treasure of his father, my sister and I are just weeds, how dare we have such luxury?
