Two pots of secret elbows under the belly, Qin Ziye felt that the empty stomach suddenly became rounded, because the unhappiness brought by Zhao Quan also went away.

Seeing Zhou Yuyao humming a Luzhou tune, her mouth was full of greasy, and her two little paws were also stained with shiny oil, so she handed over a clean handkerchief: "Are you happy today? Why are you in such a good mood?"

Zhou Yuyao's eyes fluttered, and she picked up a handkerchief and wiped it indiscriminately: "This girl is full, can't she be happy!"

Seeing that Qin Ziye still wanted to speak, his eyes widened slightly, and he raised his posture and said with a tiger face: "Shut up, eat your elbow......s! Another secret elbow!Spicy enough!" The arrogant momentum couldn't suppress the smile that overflowed slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, guest officer, one secret elbow and three spicy ones are the same! Wait a minute!" Xiao Er replied from afar.

Qin Ziye looked at the shiny bones on the table, and seemed to be accustomed to it, as long as he had a cup of tea, he saw that the elbow he had just raised had been finely bitten out a neat row of tooth marks, and made a look of disgust.

Outside the window, the dim sunlight gradually fell towards the temple mountain, gilding the clouds in mid-air and the temple mountain with a golden outline.

In the evening, the silence in the Qin Mansion was a little depressing, and there was a young man kneeling in the middle of the main hall, with a blank face, and his eyes were staring at the plaque covered with thick dust under the lintel in the main hall - family harmony.

On the main seat, Qin Wenbai, the head of the Qin family who was over forty years old, looked at his youngest son who was kneeling below, and the clenched left hand and the blue tendons on his forehead revealed the anger in his heart.

On the side, the old city lord who looked like he had nothing to do with himself, Zhao Wude, the Taishou of Luzhou, secretly gave his son who couldn't hold back next to him a color: Don't be impatient. Zhao Quanquan, who was wearing a thick white belt on his hand, immediately stopped looking around, and snorted softly from time to time according to his father's instructions to show his sense of existence.

A cup of hot tea was slightly cool, and Zhao Wude coughed slightly, which alarmed the angry Qin Wenbai.

"Smack!" Qin Wenbai slapped the pear blossom wood tea table heavily, and the tea table immediately recessed a large piece. The teacup on the tea table turned over and buckled on the tea table, and the pale green tea mixed with the fresh tea leaves slowly flowed to the ground.

Zhao Wude frowned slightly, and the sudden loud noise Qin Ziye, who was kneeling, did not respond halfway, but Zhao Quanquan, who was looking for an opportunity to snort twice, was so shocked that he threw out the teacup in his arms and smashed it into Qin Ziye's hand.

The flying fragments cut through Qin Ziye's fingers, and a red line immediately oozed out. Zhao Quan hurriedly looked at Zhao Wude, Zhao Wude's brows furrowed deeper, and he motioned to his son not to move, and then looked at Qin Wenbai.

"Useless thing, what can you do except make trouble for me all day long? Idle every day and not at home, look at your eldest brother at the age of seventeen is already the general of the Northern Army of Nanliang Guozhen, and then look at your sister who awakened at the age of eleven to become a rare spirit master in Luzhou City, what about you?

Look at the good deeds you have done! Beat the master, fined you a month's regular money, don't remember for a long time, the day before yesterday, privately released the house slave, and punished you with a month's grounding! I don't reflect at home, I secretly ran out, and I discounted the hand of the eldest prince!

You...... You...... You are simply lawless! You are now punished with a cane of 20 rods, and you will be confined to the ancestral hall for three months, and you will not be allowed to leave the ancestral hall for half a step every day, otherwise you will be expelled from the Qin family! Do you have any objections?"

"I didn't discount his hand, I just dislocated ......"

Without waiting for Qin Ziye to finish speaking, Qin Wenbai immediately interrupted: "You still dare to quibble! What kind of do you do every day, do you think I don't know, beat people, gamble, skip school, and let house slaves privately! Cause trouble for me every day! Didn't you beat me? Could it be that he couldn't beat it himself!"

Qin Ziye looked at his father, opened his mouth to say something, searched for words for a long time, and finally pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, and he looked down at the ants scattered on the floor, his body shook from side to side and straightened up.

Zhao Wude, who had not spoken, opened his mouth lightly: "Is Old Man Qin's punishment unfair?" Qin Wenbai looked at Zhao Wude in confusion, but Qin Ziye did not move at all, Zhao Quanquan was stunned and wanted to say something eagerly, but was glared back by his father.

Zhao Wude pushed away the tea cup on the table that was filled with tea by his subordinates, and said unhurriedly: "It was the eldest prince of the government who was beaten, this is a blatant attack on the officials and their dependents, and it is already a violation of the laws of Nanliang. ”

Qin Wenbai took a sip of tea quietly, stared at Zhao Wude's eyes and said: "The eldest son, General Dingyuan, according to the law, we are also officials, according to the law, we can also be private, or we can sue to the county guard, and those involving the military generals' relatives can also be sued to the military department, Lord Taishou thinks that when I go to the military department, how should this case be judged?"

Zhao Wude smiled slightly: "Why bother to make a big fuss, it's not appropriate for you and me to make trouble." A bad one will also affect the career of the eldest son. Let's talk about something else. Zhao Wude personally added tea to Qin Wenbai, Qin Wenbai nodded slightly and took a sip, and held the tea cup in his hand.

"Old Man Qin knows that something is wrong with the gold mine in the south of the city, which has made me very troubled recently. ”

"Oh?" Qin Wenbai's hand steadied slowly.

The corners of Zhao Wude's mouth curled: "The Chen family, who was in charge of the two gold mines in the south of the city, has changed some things and is no longer qualified for the mining of gold mines, I am thinking about changing a family with a strong family to be responsible for mining, and yesterday the patriarch of the Meng family found me, and I haven't replied yet." I don't know ...... old man Qin."

Qin Wenbai put down the teacup with a snap, and some hot tea turned out and splashed on his hand, seemingly unaware.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Wude smiled lightly: "I think the Qin family is very reassuring. ”

Qin Wenbai noticed that he was a little out of shape, and took a breath lightly, as if he was a little hesitant.

The air fell silent. Several hearts seemed absent-minded, only Qin Ziye seemed to be interested in the ants on the ground, and lowered his eyes with his body straight.

"It's almost the day of the House Tryouts. Zhao Wude looked at the sky outside that was getting darker and said, "I haven't decided who to recommend in Luzhou City this year. ”

Qin Wenbai was a little excited: "Lord Taishou is talking ......"

"I think the second son of the Qin family is only 16 years old, and he is already an acquired mid-level genius, and he will definitely have a lot to do in the future, and this place is more suitable for Qin Zirui. ”

Qin Wenbai didn't care about praising Qin Zirui's acquired mid-level genius, he knew that at the age of 16, only when he reached the acquired high level could he be eligible for admission to the academy. This place is the benefit that Taishou took the initiative to give up, and he was extremely excited to think that his second son could also enter the famous mainland academy to study.

The eldest son Qin Zifeng is the general of the Southern Liang Kingdom, the second son Qin Zirui is talented and entered the famous academy for further study, and the youngest daughter Qin Ziyi awakened at the age of 11 to become a rare spirit master in a century, and was accepted by Qinglan Academy, one of the nine colleges, and is the most dazzling existence of the young generation in Luzhou City.

For a time, the scenery of Qinfu was unique, and when the county guard inspected Luzhou City, he also personally accompanied him by name. Qin Wenbai's eyes flickered, as if he had suddenly returned to the scenery at that time. Zhao Wude didn't speak, and smiled leisurely.

In the middle of the ring, Qin Wenbai sat down, looked at the little son in front of him who lowered his head and didn't say a word, his brows furrowed again, it seemed that only this little son did not bring any glory to the Qin family, but ......

Qin Wenbai looked into the distance, and then his heart slowly settled, and he steadily picked up the tea on the table and said: "Qin Ziye has repeatedly violated the family rules, went out without authorization during the punishment period, seriously injured others without repentance, and brought heavy losses to the family. ”

After speaking, he took a big sip of tea, but found that the tea was already cold, and wanted to ask his subordinates to add tea, so he waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat.

Qin Ziye's kneeling legs were a little numb, he staggered and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't do it, his straight body wanted to send a straggler back to the ant colony inch by inch, but his fingers trembled terribly.

Several times when I tried to see that my finger was about to send the ants back to the ant colony, a gust of wind blew through the hall, and the little ant in my hand was gone......

At night, the cold wind began to erode Qin Ziye's body, and he gradually felt that his hands and feet began to become cold, slowly spreading to his body, almost to his chest.

Finally, Qin Ziye still stood up, swaying from side to side as if he was about to fall, and finally stood firmly in the middle of the hall. The 14-year-old boy looked at Zhao Quan, who was snickering, then at Zhao Wude, who was in control of everything, and finally looked at Qin Wenbai, who was beckoning his subordinates to call Zi Rui.

Qin Ziye suddenly felt that the so-called home where he had lived for fourteen years was a little strange, and the misty gloom spread to his feet as the night deepened.

He remembered his mother who died in childbirth, although he had never met the old grandmother in the family said that she was an extremely gentle strange woman; he remembered the joy of successfully advancing to the first level of the day after tomorrow five years ago; he remembered the practice of swordsmanship every day from the rooster crow to dusk; he remembered the grateful smile of the shopkeeper who was rescued from his master ten days ago; and he remembered the crying of the green girl who was secretly let go to be sold to Goolan Courtyard for the rest of her life.

He remembered his dreams, the first time he heard the story of the Sword God, he was determined to become a man like the Sword God, to protect his homeland and protect mankind, and finally he remembered the smell of gardenia on the woman who scolded him every time but was impatient to teach him swordsmanship, the lazy smile of the bright girl in the afternoon, or the beads of sweat hanging on the tip of her red nose when eating elbows.

A warm feeling welled up in his chest, dispelling the silence of the night. Qin Ziye felt that his frozen body had gradually regained consciousness, and everything seemed to have a new meaning and a new color again.

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Qin Ziye looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the top seat, as if questioning, and as if asking rhetorically: "Are you my father?"
