Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Jiangdu Chapter 29 Yao Zhankui's troubles
Back in Yaofu, I don't know if it's an illusion, Jiangnan found that the house was very quiet.
On the way back to the room, the maids of the family lowered their heads and crept busy, seeing that they were not as loud as they said hello during the day, nodded their heads, and left quickly.
Jiang Nan and Xiao Cui are both a little baffled.
After returning to the room for a while, Xiaocui came over with a wooden basin filled with hot water, and when she came back, her elated appearance was gone, and she became cautious, and Jiang Nan was a little confused.
After careful questioning, I learned that the little master in the house slipped out of the house to play in the afternoon while the guards were unprepared.
The old man came back and was furious, and directly expelled the family from the house, and the whole house searched for several hours before the little master was found.
Jiang Nan was a little surprised, Yao Zhankui didn't look like that kind of unreasonable person on weekdays, the family was just careless, and there was no need to drive people away, not to mention that the people were not lost, didn't they find it.
Xiao Cui cautiously looked around to confirm that there was no one outside the house, and then quietly walked to Jiang Nan's side and spoke softly.
It turned out that Yao Zhankui had four sons in addition to this little young master, the eldest son and the third son were born to the eldest lady, and the second and fourth sons were born to the second lady.
When the eldest prince was about 20 years old, he took people to Yuhang to buy cloth, and on the way back, he met a bandit, and the things were robbed, not to mention, and the people were also killed by the thieves.
The second son and several friends from the poetry club went out to climb the mountain, fell off the cliff and died.
The third prince was on the way back to his parents' house with the eldest lady, when the boat hit the reef, and the boatload sank into the river.
When the fourth prince was only three or four years old, the house caught fire and was burned alive.
The second lady was heartbroken, thinking that she was guilty, and cut her hair to become a nun.
Later, Yao Zhankui married the third lady and had the current young master.
With the experience of the past, the little master was extremely strict with him, and he was accompanied by his family members all day, so he spent five years smoothly.
This afternoon, the little young master lied about going to the thatched house, and took advantage of the family's inattention to climb out of the window.
When Yao Zhankui heard the news, he was like five thunderbolts, and he was instantly furious, and immediately expelled the family member in charge of guarding the house.
Because he always felt that the death of his four sons was a little strange, so in order to prevent such a misfortune from happening again, he ordered the whole mansion to take good care of the little young master, and no one was allowed to take him out of the house, and staying at home could at least avoid many accidents.
The maids all knew that the old man was angry, and they all became nervous, and no one wanted to get on fire.
Jiang Nan listened to Xiaocui tell the whole story, and then he suddenly realized.
Yao Zhankui, who never thought that the scenery in front of people, also had such a miserable situation, and suddenly felt some sympathy for him.
Just like when I first lost my three younger brothers, I was in pain, as if the sky had fallen, and people had lost their spirits, and everything had nothing to do with them.
The next morning, Xiao Cui got up more than an hour earlier than usual, which was agreed with Jiang Nan last night.
From today on, Jiangnan will officially teach Xiaocui martial arts.
Considering that Bajiquan and Splitting Hanging Palm were too strong, he chose to teach her the Broken Wind Palm and Chasing Wind Step.
Martial arts training pays attention to winter training, summer training, and there is no perseverance and courage not to be afraid of difficulties, it is difficult to practice martial arts well, and there are only a few martial arts wizards who can understand it at one point.
No matter what Xiaocui's purpose is, Jiang Nan has already made it clear that he will be very strict, afraid of hardships and want to give up halfway, so don't learn it as soon as possible, I don't want to teach a bottle of less than half a bottle of flowers.
Xiao Cui also knows the importance of it, and since she officially learned martial arts, she put away her usual giggling and became serious. Although he started late, he played well with one move and one style.
Jiang Nan, who was a teacher for the first time, had no experience at all, and only with a serious and responsible attitude, he explained his understanding of martial arts to Xiaocui one by one, and corrected her mistakes in strength and moves in a timely manner.
Xiao Cui is already well-behaved and intelligent, and is willing to endure hardships, and in more than a month, she has practiced the tricks of breaking the wind palm and chasing the wind, but the internal strength and mental method have not improved, and she has no experience of qi.
In this regard, Jiang Nan also didn't know why, he easily felt qi when he was cultivating, and his internal strength was growing rapidly.
Maybe it's really like Wu Chaozu and Du Ji's memory, it will take a few months to have an obvious sense of qi.
For more than a month, the days in Jiangnan are also leisurely, guide Xiaocui to practice martial arts in the morning, and go to the restaurant during the day to inspect a circle, and pay attention to the later effect of the discount coupon. If you have nothing to do, you can sit in the tea shop next to you, order a pot of tea, and listen to the people around you chatting, regardless of the truth of their words, in short, they also know a lot about the environment of Daliang, and gradually adapt to the life here.
It's Yao Zhankui, who has a lot of worries during this time, and it can be said that he is anxious.
The inventory of Buzhuang is gradually decreasing, and the guys go to Yuhang to buy goods and are robbed one after another. Under the pretense of Zhechong Mansion drills, he led a team of men and horses to escort him, but he didn't expect the thieves to be so bold that they dared to openly confront the government soldiers, and each of them was extraordinary, several government soldiers were killed, and more than a dozen were injured.
Although he tried his best to cover up this matter, he somehow leaked the news, and it was known to Lord Duwei, and Yao Zhankui himself was severely criticized.
If it weren't for the face of Lord Taishou, a military stick would be inevitable.
However, although he was exempted from punishment, the disgusting matter of thorough investigation fell on his head.
These thieves, who came and went without a trace, acted quickly, had extraordinary skills, and were still masked at the time, and had no clue about this kind of thing, and they didn't know where to start.
The only thing that can be changed is that there is no deadline for Lord Duwei, and a procrastination trick can deal with it.
Buzhuang's business is indeed not easy to solve, the inventory is about to be empty, the nearest purchase location is in Yuhang, and the road must pass through a three-regardless area.
After being robbed several times, the result of reporting to the official was that there was no result, Yu Hang didn't care, and Jiang Du didn't care.
Although my cousin can take care of the matter and forcibly order someone to investigate, the people below can't do anything if they don't work.
Besides, the level of those fast catchers is not necessarily comparable to that of the government soldiers, in case of any accident, the unlucky one is the cousin. If something happened to him, the Yao family's big tree would fall.
Not as good as a restaurant, the cloth business is a profit.
There are many restaurants in Jiangdu City, but there are few cloth villages, after all, the purchase channel is not something that anyone can solve.
If you have a long way, you have to prepare for a human escort, and being robbed a few times like yourself is not something that anyone can bear.
I wanted to shut down the cloth village, but after hesitating for a few days, I couldn't make up my mind, it was all money.
Although it is not a daily income, but it is also a lot of profits, there are several cloth houses in the city are from Yao Zhankui to get the goods, just turn back and forth, there is almost no less than one percent of the profit.
In the past few days, Yao Zhankui has no appetite for eating, and he does not sleep steadily, so he wakes up in the morning.
Anyway, I couldn't sleep, so I wandered around the house.
Hearing the coquettish shouts of "hey" and "ha" coming from the courtyard in Jiangnan, I followed the sound and walked over.
Standing at the gate of the moon, I saw a little girl practicing martial arts under the guidance of Jiangnan.
One move and one style, the momentum is extraordinary, driving the dust on the ground to fly.
I stood there and watched for a while, and the more I looked at it, the more shocked I became.
No matter how I say it, I am also a captain of the school, and I feel that there are many hands waving there when I see it behind, which shows that the little girl's skills must be far better than herself.
Seeing that the little girl stopped after the fight, Yao Zhankui clapped his hands and walked over slowly: "Okay, good, good." The little girl's martial arts are extraordinary. ”
Xiao Cui finished beating a whole set of broken wind palms, and stood there secretly breathing, with a few drops of crystal sweat hanging on her forehead, and her cheeks were slightly crimson from the exercise.
Hearing that someone applauded, he turned his head to see that it was the old man Yao Zhankui, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Hello master." ”
Jiang Nan had heard it when Yao Zhankui had just arrived outside the Moon Gate, and when he saw him standing there and didn't come in, he didn't go over, and continued to watch Xiaocui's drill. Seeing him coming at this moment, he nodded his head.
"You're from my house?" Yao Zhankui's eyes widened and he stared at Xiao Cui Dao in surprise.
When did there be such a little girl with extraordinary martial arts in his house, why haven't I heard anyone mention it.
"This is Xiaocui, Steward Zhou arranged to come over to serve me, she has nothing to do, and she is instructed to give her some fists and feet, which makes Captain Yao smile."
There are a lot of maids in the house, and Yao Zhankui may not know everyone, Jiang Nan saw that he didn't know Xiaocui, so he introduced it to him.
