With doubts, Xu Qiming and others came to the restaurant, and as soon as they entered the door, a strong fragrance came out, making people have the idea of feasting on a full meal.

"Wow, today... What is the festival today and why there are so many delicious foods. Dongfang Qingru said, looking at the table in front of her intently, and her saliva almost flowed out.

"yes, these are a lot more than usual. Bai Xiaomo also responded.

Usually the main people of the Xu family get together for breakfast, which is generally a meat dish and three vegetarian dishes, and then accompanied by flatbread steamed buns, drinking porridge, and eating can be very full.

The dishes on the table can be described as very tempting, and the content can be said to be varied, but compared to Dongfang Qingru and Bai Xiaomo, Xu Qiming is really much calmer.

"How can today's meal be so fast?" Just when Xu Qiming was about to find the chef to ask, Wang Yuan, Chen Xue, Xu Huijun and others also came, they were also very surprised when they saw this scene, especially Wang Yuan, she just calmed down to deal with government affairs for a while, and the chair was not yet hot, so she was invited down by a little girl to eat.

"I don't know, so many I thought you had someone arrange it. Xu Qiming shook his head.

"If you go back to Engong, this is what my mother did. At this time, the little boy on the side said timidly.

"Huh, did your mother do it?" Xu Qiming was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the few people who were already ready to move, mainly Dongfang Qingru and Bai Xiaomo, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "I see, I understand, little gluttonous cat, go wash your hands first, and then come to eat." ”

After that, he stretched out his hand and knocked Dongfang Qingru's head, and then touched Bai Xiaomo's hair.

"Oh. The two of them answered, and went to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.

"Xiaohui, go and ask my father and Master Yu to come down for dinner. Xu Qiming said to Xu Huijun.

"Okay, Sister Xiaoxue, let's go together. Xu Huijun nodded, took Chen Xue's hand and went upstairs to invite the two elders.

"Xiaohui and Xiaoxue have a really good relationship. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"As long as the relationship is good, to be honest, I'm quite grateful to Xiaoxue for being Xiaohui's friend, Xiaohui was actually very afraid of life before, and it was better after knowing Xiaoxue. Xu Qiming smiled, the previous Xiaohui and the current Xiaohui are indeed different, and they have become cheerful.

If you have to say when, it seems that after she came back from the King's Land Palace, Xiaohui has become different, unlike the cowardly child before.

"Xiaohui has always been very good. Dongfang Qingru walked up to Xu Qiming, grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "I really envy you for having a good sister." ”

"Now it's your sister, too. Xu Qiming touched her hair hanging in front of her ears and gently pinned her behind her ears.

"Hehe, although the relationship is not as good as Xiaoxue, Xiaohui is also very good to me and Yuanyuan, we can talk about it. Dongfang Qingru smiled, looking very warm.

"Yes, Xiaoxue will enter the door immediately, presumably Xiaohui will be even happier. Wang Yuan also walked over and interjected, she also thought it was a good thing, a faint smile appeared between her eyebrows, and she unconsciously wrapped her arm around Xu Qiming's arm.

The two girls were a little awkward in their hearts before, but they always obeyed Xu Qiming's decision.

"The two of you..."Xu Qiming looked at the two women and the arms surrounded by the two women with a black line, is this an oath of sovereignty?

"Let's not talk about this for now, Qiming, can I go back and let go of my stomach to eat?" Dongfang Qingru looked at him and asked.

"You know how to eat. Xu Qiming sighed and said dotingly.

"That's right, Sister Qingru, you will get fat if you eat too much. Bai Xiaomo, who was lying on the table and staring back and forth at the plates of delicacies, also said.

"It's okay, I never get fat when I eat! Dongfang Qingru listened, then let go of her hand, pinched her waist, and showed her figure to everyone, and then proudly straightened her chest, her proud figure can make people envious to death, especially Wang Yuan, after seeing this scene, she wrapped her arm around Xu Qiming inadvertently, Xu Qiming obviously felt that Wang Yuan was exerting force, looked down, and found that her eyes were full of envy, so Xu Qiming reached out and stroked Wang Yuan's little hand to show comfort, Wang Yuan felt Xu Qiming's intentions, this was a little more comfortable, after the display, Dongfang Qingru naughtily walked in front of Bai Xiaomo, and gently pinched her little face: "It's you, you're a gluttonous cat at a young age, be careful and grow into a little fat girl, and you can't get married. ”

"Xiaomo is not a chubby girl, so she won't be unable to get married!" Bai Xiaomo was immediately anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly retorted.

"I think it will. Dongfang Qingru said with a smile.

Bai Xiaomo stared at her aggrievedly for a long time, and then looked at Xu Qiming and Wang Yuan: "Brother Qiming, sister, I won't be unable to get married." ”

"How could it be, Xiaomo will definitely be able to find a good man to marry. Xu Qiming looked at Dongfang Qingru, who was like a child, sighed, and then comforted Bai Xiaomo: "Xiaomo is when he grows his body, it's okay to eat more, it's not good to look too thin." ”

"Really? That's good. Bai Xiaomo also put his mind at ease.

"Xiaomo, Qingru is teasing you, how can my good sister not get married?" Wang Yuan also chimed in.

"Hehe, it's better for my sister to treat Xiaomo. Bai Xiaomo said with a smile, no longer dwelling on this issue.

"The last dish is here...", while chatting, a woman's voice came from outside the door, and when she heard the voice, she saw a beautiful woman holding a bowl of fragrant stew, and behind her, a little girl who looked to be only four or five years old was standing on the side.

The beautiful woman is wearing the clothes of the servants of the Xu family, but it is much cleaner than the one two days ago, Rao is Xu Qiming who rescued her from the group of demon beasts, after some tidying, Xu Qiming also took a long time to identify her, I don't know if it is the reason for dressing up, now I look at her and she actually has a different charm, although she is a woman, but she is also in her twenties, compared to Xu Qiming, she is not very big, and she also has delicate facial features, compared to Dongfang Qingru and Wang Yuan, there is a faint sense of resentment between her eyebrows, and her temperament is more mature than the two women。

And the little girl behind her is also very cute, at this time she is wearing a black dress, obediently staying behind her mother, and seems to be afraid of life.

"Everyone's here, please take a seat. The beautiful woman brought the dish to the table and beckoned everyone to sit down, under Xu Qiming's signal, everyone sat down, Xu Qiming sat in an ordinary position, Wang Yuan and Dongfang Qingru sat on both sides of him, the main seat was left to Xu Tiankai to sit, and the others also found their own places to sit down, with the arrival of Xu Tiankai, Yu Lingxiao and Ouyang Jun and others, today's breakfast is finally about to start.

"Thank you so much, ma'am, what should have been the cook at home is doing it, and I'm tired of you. Xu Qiming said to the beautiful woman, although this is his own home, he did not act too arrogant, because the other party was not his servant, and he had no reason to call her, but she still helped the family make breakfast, and Xu Qiming would not be stingy to thank him.

"Engong is serious, you risked your life to save me and the children that day, and it was too late to repay you, what is the difficulty of just having breakfast?" the beautiful woman bowed slightly and said dignifiedly.

"In that case, let's eat together. Xu Qiming looked at the beautiful woman and the two children standing on the side, especially the two children, looked at the food on the table and showed the expressions of Dongfang Qingru and Bai Xiaomo just now, and also understood that the three of them had not eaten, so he invited the three of them to dine together.

"No, no, no, how can this be, this is a little thank you for repaying Eun Gong for saving his life, it is not appropriate. As soon as Xu Qiming's words came out, the two children showed eager eyes, but the beautiful woman refused.

"Oh, there's nothing out of place, sit down and eat since you're here. Xu Qiming said disapprenousively: "Come on, bring three chairs, and put three pairs of dishes and chopsticks." ”

"Yes!" the waiter outside the door replied, and soon brought three chairs and set the tableware.

"This..."The beautiful woman was a little embarrassed, although the two children were hungry, but they didn't dare to mess around when they saw that their mother didn't move.

"Hey, girl, just sit down, you see the children are hungry, let's eat together." At this time, Xu Tiankai, who was an old lady, spoke, so the members of the family persuaded her to sit down with the children to eat, and the beautiful woman couldn't resist the enthusiasm of everyone, so she sat down with the two children.

"So, when you're all here, let's start eating. Seeing that everyone couldn't bear it, Xu Qiming said, everyone picked up chopsticks to eat, and as soon as the meal was eaten, everyone tasted the deliciousness, and they were full of praise, praising the craftsmanship of the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman was a little embarrassed to be praised by everyone, and while serving vegetables for her child, she modestly chatted with everyone.

After some conversation, everyone knew that the beautiful woman's name was Muya, the two children were the elder brother, named Lu Pu, who was about 6 years old, and the girl was the younger sister, named Lu Yu, who was about 4 years old.

"Then madam, since you make a living by weaving cloth, why did you go into the mountains again and be trapped by the demon beasts of that day?" Xu Qiming asked curiously after listening to her self-introduction, remembering that the three of them were trapped in the group of demon beasts that day.

"Back to the words of Engong, this matter is a long story, I live in Mujia Village, more than 30 miles south from here, my parents are small farmers in Mujia Village, seven years ago the family married me to the rich Lu family in Xiaoshi Village as a concubine, the husband's name is Lu Wei, see that I look quite good, I also like tight, and then gave birth to this son and a daughter, but the wife of the Lu family is jealous of me, and I am embarrassed everywhere, three years ago my husband died of illness, the wife of the Lu family in order to let her son inherit the family business, drove me and the two children out of the house, I have no choice, I had to take the two children back to my mother's house, last year my parents also died, now there are only me and two children in the family, When I don't weave on weekdays, I will go to find some odd jobs to do, and I will also take my children to the nearby mountains where there are no monsters to fetch firewood, and the firewood sold to the city can also subsidize the family, although it is small, sometimes I can't eat, but I can finally feed me and these two children. Mu Ya said, as if she remembered something sad, and her expression was a little unnatural.

"Qiming, will you ask questions, Miss Mu is sad for you. Xu Tiankai glanced at Xu Qiming with disgust, and then looked at Mu Ya kindly: "I'm sorry, Miss Mu, this son of the old man is not very good at speaking, please forgive me." ”

"I'm sorry to remind you of something upset. Xu Qiming had no choice but to apologize.

"It's okay..."Mu Ya shook her head: "Come, Xiaopu Xiaoyu, kneel down and kowtow to Engong, and thank Engong for saving his life." ”

After that, he led the two children to stand up from their positions, and bowed to Xu Qiming, and the two children said in a milky voice: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

"No, no, no. Seeing this scene, Xu Qiming also hurriedly got up and stepped down to help the three of them: "It's just a gesture, and I can't let you go about the situation at that time, and don't let the children kneel at every turn, your dignity will be gone." ”

Then he looked at the two children, not to mention, although they grew up in the village, but the two children looked beautiful, that is, they were wearing old clothes, and the colors were also very monotonous, if they could wear beautiful clothes, then they would definitely show their charm.

"Your name is Lu Pu, right?" Xu Qiming looked at the boy and asked.

"Yes. Lu Pu was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Xu Qiming like this.

"Be louder. Xu Qiming said solemnly: "Boys should speak louder, otherwise there will be no momentum." ”

"Yes!" Lu Pu shouted.

"Well, that's good, you just secretly watched me and the young ladies practicing martial arts, and you watched it for a long time, right?" Xu Qiming first touched Lu Pu's little head, and then pinched his little face slightly hard.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Lu Pu's face turned red and said, when he just asked Xu Qiming and the four of them to eat, he did watch it for a long time, especially when Xu Qiming and Dongfang Qingru competed, he was even more fascinated, but he didn't expect that as early as when he first came, Xu Qiming knew that he was peeking there, just to see what he was going to do, and now that he was exposed by the parties, Lu Pu was a little embarrassed.

"What's embarrassing, it's not a bad thing. Xu Qiming haha: "It seems that you are very interested in cultivating martial arts?"

Lu Pu looked at Xu Qiming: "Well, I have seen a few martial artists in the village before, but they are far less powerful than Engong. ”

"My brother has also explored martial arts by himself at home, but unfortunately there is no one to teach him. Xiao Lu Yu also said to Xu Qiming on the side: "My brother tried to talk to those martial artists, but he was looked down upon. ”

"Hehe, Brother Qiming is a martial artist, much stronger than a martial artist. On the other hand, Bai Xiaomo interjected, said with a smile, and was glared back by her sister Wang Yuan.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad. Looking at the two children, Xu Qiming seemed to think of himself when he was a child, so he asked on a whim: "So Xiaopu, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

"What!" When Lu Pu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then became excited: "Engong, are what you said true, you want to take me as an apprentice?"

As early as Mujia Village, when Lu Pu first met a martial artist, he had a strong interest in cultivation, and then he asked around about the monks, and after piecing them together, Lu Pu also knew a lot about the monks.

I heard Bai Xiaomo say that Xu Qiming was a martial artist, and now Xu Qiming took the initiative to ask if he wanted to apprentice to learn art, of course Lu Pu couldn't imagine that a town of martial arts would take the initiative to propose apprenticeship to him, so he was naturally surprised and happy.

As for the rest of the family, they were even more surprised, but they didn't expect Xu Qiming to accept Zhao Yun as an apprentice less than a year later, and then accepted another child as an apprentice.

"You and I are destined, you are so interested in cultivation, if you want, I can teach you. Xu Qiming confirmed him again.

"This..."Lu Pu was happy, looked at his mother, waiting for his mother to nod.

"Engong, this is not good, you are a dignified martial artist, this kid is afraid that your name will fall. Mu Ya hesitated a little, and looked at Lu Pu who was full of anticipation worriedly: "Moreover, we are about to return to Mujia Village, if this child worships you as a teacher, and we will live separately in the future, I am also very worried about Xiaopu." ”

"It doesn't matter, I like this kid very much, I don't care about talent or anything, as long as this kid is willing, I can train him to become a martial arts master, as for the other question you are worried about, my Xu family's kitchen is now short of helpers, I don't know if my wife is willing to come to me to help, my Xu family is willing to treat him with a hundred taels of silver a month." Xu Qiming smiled slightly and asked.

"One... One hundred taels!" The two children were shocked, and they were both frightened by Xu Qiming's shot.

"One hundred taels of silver, we beat two bundles of firewood a day, each bundle is only twenty yuan, a piece of cloth is only one hundred yuan, and one hundred taels of silver is..."

"A hundred taels of silver is a thousand pieces of cloth and five thousand sheaves of firewood. Zhao Yun calculated it by heart.

"Wow, there are so many!" Lu Yu was shocked by the huge number.

"yes, and every month. Bai Xiaomo also leaned over and nodded.

"Every month!" When Lu Yu heard this, he was even more shocked: "My mother can only weave more than a dozen pieces of cloth and more than 60 bundles of firewood in a month." ”

"This, this is too much..."Mu Ya was also a little surprised, she had never seen so much money, even when she was in her husband's house before, it was not easy to take out a hundred taels of silver.

It is not difficult to understand how a wealthy family in the village can be compared with the Xu family who has mastered the Western District?

"How can you dislike too much money?" Xu Qiming said with a smile: "It's not easy for you to take care of two children alone, plus the odd jobs are unstable, how can you support your family? ”

After saying that, he doted and pointed to the side, seriously dealing with Dongfang Qingru who was eating.

"Alas..." Mu Ya was silent for a while, as if she was thinking about it, and then sighed: "It's better to look at Xiao Pu, after all, it's Xiao Pu's own business, if he must follow the path of a monk, then the mother can only agree." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lu Pu, as if waiting for his own thoughts.

"In that case, Xiao Pu, what do you think?" Xu Qiming saw that Mu Ya had no opinion, so he looked at Lu Pu.

"My mother works hard every day for me and my sister, and in order to prevent my mother from continuing to live like this, my disciple sees Master. Lu Pu knelt down without saying a word, and bowed to Xu Qiming three times, which was considered a promise.

"Come, child, you will be my second disciple in the future, come and meet your two masters. Xu Qiming happily helped him up, and then introduced the main members of the family to Lu Pu.

After that, Lu Pu met with Wang Yuan and Dongfang Qingru one by one, as well as Zhao Yun, the senior sister, and then met with the rest of the Xu family, and a brief apprenticeship ceremony came to an end.

Then Lu Yu, who was a red-eyed brother, also made a fuss about apprenticeship, Xu Qiming had no choice but to agree to admit a pair of brothers and sisters into the teacher together, so that Mu Ya could only agree to help in the Xu family in order to take care of the two children.

"Alright, everything that should be done is done, hurry up and eat, there is still a lot of work to be done later." Wang Yuan saw that it was almost over, and hurriedly asked Xu Qiming and others to sit down to eat, and everyone entered the table again to eat.

Although Xu Qiming's sudden acceptance of apprentices surprised everyone, everyone was no longer surprised, and with the addition of new disciples, the Xu family seemed to be more lively.
