Chapter 168 Compensation for Losses
Liu Qingyan smiled lightly, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned and there was a faint smile in her cold eyes, of course she understood what Xuanyuan Yichen meant. In fact, I didn't allow it.
And this faint smile of hers instantly poured over Xuanyuan Yichen, who had already half-turned and was about to turn all over and then step away. But fortunately, it was a little close, so he saw Liu Qingyan's smile.
In fact, it is not the first time I have seen it, and it is not the first time that Liu Qingyan has bloomed with such a budding smile because of herself. It's just that no matter how many times I see it, no matter how familiar it is, but every time I see it, Xuanyuan Yichen clearly feels that he can't move. It also made him feel even more that seeing Liu Qingyan like this, no matter what he did for her, was worth it.
The only thing that is an eyesore is that in the afterglow of looking at Liu Qingyan's line of sight, you can still see the existence of Jian Jiu. And this Jian Jiu seemed to be quite impressed by Liu Qingyan's smile. What's worse is that Liu Qingyan has also turned his head, and this smile is not facing himself, but facing Jian Jiu.
Xuanyuan Yichen cursed secretly in his heart, thinking that he might as well leave quickly, so that they could finish what they were going to say quickly. No matter how reluctant and reluctant he was, Xuanyuan Yichen finally turned around completely and left.
When everyone in the room went out, and only Jian Jiu and Liu Qingyan were left, Liu Qingyan handed over the silk handkerchief he had been holding in his hand to Jian Jiu's hand, "This, for you." ”
Jian Jiu looked curious, opened the silk handkerchief, saw the cheats inside, and was still curious, wanting to open the book to take a look, but he looked a little hesitant.
Liu Qingyan suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked, "You shouldn't be illiterate, right?" ”
Jian Jiu hurriedly nodded again and again: "I know." It was as if it was an insult to him to say that he couldn't read.
"That's good." Liu Qingyan himself is relieved. Just handing over this cheatbook to him has already made Xuanyuan Yichen so unhappy. If in the end, Jian Jiu didn't know how to read, and he still had to teach him how to read this book by hand, then Xuanyuan Yichen's vinegar jar would not have to smoke the entire capital.
What's more, although she doesn't want to hide her secrets, she doesn't want to make it known to the world if she finds someone else to read this book to Jian Jiu. Everyone in the world knows that Prime Minister Liu Cheng's family still has a book of martial arts secrets, and this is enough. As for what this cheats book is about, so far, with oneself, one more Jian Jiu knows, it is enough.
"I'll leave this book to you. It is the martial arts I practice. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. I know you're hell-bent on making yourself stronger, but remember, martial arts training doesn't happen overnight, you have to do it gradually, don't rush it. In that case, it will only go crazy, and the gains outweigh the losses. This is also the most common taboo for martial arts practitioners, Liu Qingyan has to remind him.
Jian Jiu nodded in agreement as if he didn't understand, and then asked, "Do you really want to give this to me?" It looks so mysterious and precious. ”
"It's precious. But since you said that you want to learn martial arts to protect yourself and the people you want to protect, and this is what I will, I will simply leave this to you. But whether you can learn it or not, and how much you can learn, depends on your own hard work and talent. If you retreat now, it's still too late. Liu Qingyan said, and stretched out his hand, making a gesture to get the cheats back.
Jian Jiu hurriedly shrank into his arms, held the book tightly with both hands, and said very solemnly and seriously: "I will definitely practice hard and strive to practice as soon as possible!" Thank You, Master! As he spoke, he bent down ninety degrees with care, and his head was directly on his knee, which was regarded as a salute to Liu Qingyan. If he hadn't been worried about his own leg injury, he would have jumped off the bed and knelt on his knees and knocked his head three times in a row.
Liu Qingyan didn't want to accept such a big gift from him, so he quickly helped his upper body up, and said, "This book was passed on to me by my father." I didn't teach you anything, I just handed the book to you instead. If you really want to learn from my teacher, just worship my father as a teacher. As for me, I've already said that I've always treated you like a brother. Now, even if I have another senior sister and brother with you. How is it? ”
Liu Qingyan in this era is only a few months older than Jian Jiu, and he is less than a year old, so what kind of master is he worshipping. Don't make up something like "aunt", that sounds even more ambiguous. Just assume that they all worship God or Prime Minister Liu as their teachers, and they are sisters and brothers.
Jian Jiu's reaction was not slow, and he immediately shouted "Senior Sister". Liu Qingyan agreed, and the official relationship between the two of them was so certain.
Listening to this "senior sister" and "junior brother" in Xuanyuan Yichen's ears outside, he also felt that he had benefited a lot. He even thought about the long-term situation, whether to have a swearing ceremony or something, more justifiable and solemn. When the time comes, no one will be able to refute it.
In the room, Liu Qingyan was still explaining to Jian Jiu, telling him that he knew about this secret book and then Liu Qingyan knew it, and he must not let others know about it, not these maids, little maids and doctors around him.
Jian Jiu understood the reason, and nodded in agreement.
After a few more words, Liu Qingyan left, and then left Yunshu Courtyard with Xuanyuan Yichen.
After turning a corner, I saw the butler walking towards Xianting, still holding a lot of things in his hands. Xuanyuan Yichen knew that the housekeeper must have official affairs to deal with him, but he didn't want to go with him to the study that specialized in dealing with these affairs in the mansion temporarily, and he was not in a hurry to enter the idle courtyard, so he simply found a nearby pavilion, and a few people walked in.
Maybe I thought that there would be today, and there are still a lot of pavilions in the Xianwang Mansion. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they naturally blend in with the surrounding landscapes and buildings, complementing and adding to the scenery. It is worthy of being in the palace, and its exquisite carving can be seen everywhere.
The pavilion is lit with several lanterns and candles, and the moon in the sky illuminates the inside very brightly.
Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan sat in two adjacent positions, and Chu Yi and Linglong, and Fifteen and Xiao Yue stood behind the two of them. The butler stood alone in front and put down the things in his hand the same. While explaining: "Lord, princess, these books are the account books that compensate the people who were injured and suffered losses today. With the exception of a few people, compensation has basically been completed. ”
Xuanyuan Yichen flipped through the account books casually, it was the first time for Liu Qingyan to really face this kind of ancient account book, even if he lived in ancient times, Liu Qingyan had never been in contact with these things. Liu Qingyan was curious, but after taking a few more looks, he felt that he was about to become an idiot. The words are clearly read, and the number of silver taels is also clearly written. However, she had no idea what prices were like in this era, so in her eyes, they were just meaningless figures, and she didn't know whether it was more or less, and whether it was reasonable.
Only then did Liu Qingyan realize that in fact, since he had come to this ancient world, and it seemed that he should not have the opportunity to travel back to the modern era, he needed to learn and be strong, not only his own martial arts, but also all aspects of knowledge. Otherwise, if she really wants to completely break away from the Xian Wangfu one day and live alone outside, I am afraid that even if she sells martial arts to make money, she will not know how to earn and how to spend it.
But there is one thing, Liu Qingyan is still very clear. That is, the efficiency of the housekeeper is really high, what happened this morning, and she saw with her own eyes, the injured people and the people whose shops or stalls were smashed, all the way over, adding up to two or three hundred, I didn't expect that in just one afternoon, the housekeeper would deal with it almost completely.
