Xu Qilin said: "I haven't asked you anything? Well, even if you don't know anything, you always have some strength, right? A manly man, but he can't support himself? ”

The half-grown man was so excited that he straightened his chest and said: "The villain can raise cattle and feed horses, and he also has strength, so it is no problem to carry and lift." ”

Xu Qilin nodded with a smile and said, "Then you go with so-and-so, you have your own work that you can do." ”

At this time, Wu Xiang came over, lifted the straw cage in his hand, and asked, "Ah Lang, are you going to let it go now?" ”

Xu Qilin took a look, and there were two magpies in the cage, squeezing and rubbing together. The grass cage was small, and the two birds could barely move inside.

"Grab one." Xu Qilin thinks it's not a matter of just letting go, and he can't wear a straw hat in his own land in the future?

Wu Xiang called a subordinate, and the two cooperated, he grabbed a magpie and sent it to Xu Qilin, and carefully reminded: "Ah Lang be careful, this bird can peck people." ”

Xu Qilin smiled faintly, grabbed the bird tightly with both hands, approached the past, and communicated with it.

After a while, under the surprised gaze of everyone, Xu Qilin let go of the bird and put it on his shoulder casually, and the bird did not fly or peck, honestly.

Wu Xiang grabbed another one, Xu Qilin concocted it in the same way, let go of his hand after the exchange, and whispered, "Go!" ”

The magpie in his hand flapped its wings and soared into the air, flying but not far away, hovering and chirping over Xu Qilin's head.

Xu Qilin also gave a take-off command to the birds on his shoulder, and the two birds flew in the air, chirping several times, as if saying goodbye, before flying away.

The crowd moved forward again, and it was not far from Zhuangzi. The half-grown man followed behind, looking at Xu Qilin from time to time to see the horse he was riding.

"Ah Lang, that kid seems to be a Hu man." Wu Xiang lowered his voice and said to Xu Qilin: "I should practice for a few days, I am very flexible." ”

Xu Qilin bowed his head slightly and said, "I don't think he looks like a pure Han person." Well, that's a small thing. Let's stay first to see what he is capable of, that is, just work hard, we will provide him with three meals, and we will not lose. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head slightly and asked in a loud voice to the half-grown boy, "Hey, what's your name?" ”

The half-eldest son replied, Xu Qilin didn't hear clearly, and stretched out his hand to beckon him to answer.

"The villain, the villain is called masturbation." The half-size boy replied a little vaguely.

Xu Qilin looked at this kid's appearance, and it is estimated that he doesn't even have a serious name, so he is ashamed. nodded, and Xu Qilin didn't ask any more, so as not to be embarrassed.

In fact, Xu Qilin was just a whim. I think that although this kid is poor, he is stubborn, and his body is not bad, and it is also a good labor to stay in the workshop to work.

After returning to Zhuangzi, Xu Qilin asked the housekeeper to take the masturbation down, eat and change clothes first, and then send it to the workshop to be arranged by Xu Bao.

I don't know where I came from, it remains to be seen, Xu Qilin doesn't have such a big heart, so he left this kid in the house.

Stay one more night today, and return to Chang'an tomorrow.

To be honest, Xu Qilin likes the quietness and peace here, and likes the beautiful scenery here. But how old he is, if he doesn't struggle, others don't laugh at him, and he is embarrassed.

Besides, the struggle is not just for yourself. For the sake of his sister, for his sister, for his eldest brother, even Scarlett and Adjani, Xu Qilin can't be greedy for comfort.

Xiao Zhao still lives in the house by the lake, and after seeing the lake and mountains, the little girl seems to have grown up, or temporarily forgot the toys in the Zhuangzi.

Xu Qilin called Steward Xu, Xu Bao, and several workshop stewards to have a dinner party, enhance their feelings, and explain the next step clearly.

Talking about things at the wine table, the atmosphere is more relaxed, and the speech is more casual, Xu Qilin likes this very much. Anyway, the wine can be drunk, but no one will overdo it, let alone break it, and forget all his explanations.

After the banquet dispersed, Xu Qilin rushed to the lakeside villa to accompany his sister for one night, and set off directly after breakfast tomorrow.

When I arrived at the villa, it was almost dusk. Xu Qilin saw the girl and a woman sitting on the swing chair, talking and laughing.

Seeing Xu Qilin dismounting, Xiao Zhao smiled and stretched out his hand to greet him, the woman got off the swing, walked up two steps, and greeted Shi Li: "The slave family has seen Xu Lang." ”

Chen Mengwei?! Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Mrs. Chen is polite." ”

Xiao Zhao ran over and said with a smile: "Sister Chen sent the roasted fish, it's delicious!" ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Chen." Xu Qilin once again expressed his gratitude.

"It's just a few scorched fish, Xu Lang doesn't have to be polite." Chen Mengwei returned the salute and said with a smile: "I heard my father talk about it, and I knew that Xu Lang had returned to Zhuangzi." The so-called great kindness is not grateful, but this local feeling must not be shirked by Xu Lang. ”

Seeing that Chen Mengwei was relatively normal, Xu Qilin also put away his weak heart, felt that he was a little too hypocritical, and hurriedly invited Chen Mengwei to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Qilin saw Chen Laocai, accompanied by several people, walking around the lake, and hurried over to greet him.

"It's elegant, it's much better than the fishpond in a certain house." Chen Laocai finished returning the gift, so he opened his mouth to praise, and then pulled the two children next to him over and introduced: "The dog Chen Jingxuan, the little girl Chen Mengzhi, haven't seen Xu Lang yet." ”

Chen Jingxuan and Xu Qilin are of the same age, Chen Mengzhi is only eight or nine years old, and the two children know how to be polite and come forward to give a salute.

"Courteous, courteous." Xu Qilin returned the salute with a smile, stretched out his hand, and said, "Please come to the house to talk." ”

When everyone entered the house, Xu Qilin found that two tables had been set up in the hall, separated by screens, and cold dishes and fruits and vegetables had also been placed.

"I'll tell the kitchen to do it, and I'll be ready in a moment." Xiao Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "When you visit the neighborhood, you always have to look like a guest." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and praised: "The little sister came to Zhuangzi, it seems that she has suddenly grown up and is sensible." ”

"People have long been sensible, but you didn't notice it, and you still treat people as children." Xiao Zhao pursed his lips, and waved his small fist to Xu Qilin, who reached over, "Don't touch someone's head, if you touch it again, I will beat you." ”

Xu Qilin changed his touch to shooting, but he was still hit twice, but he smiled happily and didn't care at all.

The wine and food were put on the table, the men and women were separated, the comfortable chairs, and the fresh dishes made Chen Laocai and others admire again.

Drinking and eating, chatting for a while, Chen Laocai introduced the topic to the topic, but it was for his son Chen Jingxuan's study.

Xu Qilin was a little embarrassed, there were many famous Confucians in Chang'an City, but he didn't have any dealings with him. As for aristocratic schools such as Chongwenguan and Hongwenkan, they are not a place where the son of a landlord can go.

Chen Laocai was not reluctant, but he didn't give up hope, he just said that Xu Qilin should pay more attention to this matter, and it doesn't matter when it will be successful, or whether it will be successful or not.
