Chapter 6: A Discordant Family
"Jiang Ling, why haven't you come back? It takes so long to buy a roast duck, let's follow him here and starve, it's really not okay, I can only read some articles in the crepe, and I can't do anything else, with my foot strength, I can run around the capital!" Si Xingyu and the others said impatiently.
Mrs. Wan'er turned her head, looked at the absent-minded Si Xingyu and said, "Father, what do you say! Your virtuous son-in-law will buy you your favorite food on such a hot day, and you won't say something nice." In the future, we will live together. I know you don't like Jiang Ling, the next time you say these things, please care about your daughter's feelings, okay?
Xiao Yuan listened to the argument between the two fathers and daughters, naturally he didn't dare to say anything, feeling that the gap between his generations was a bit big, so he naturally twisted his body, turned his head to the door, and thought to himself, "Teacher, come back quickly! If you don't come back, it is estimated that this meal will not be stable." Xiao Linzi felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to stand here and serve, so he had to arch his hand awkwardly, "The slave is going to take a look at the black chicken soup in the back, okay?"
Xiao Yuan still looked out of the door without turning his eyes and nodded.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuan's eyes flickered, and his body straightened, as if he had seen something incredible.
That's right, the teacher is back. It's just that the teacher is not the only one who has returned. came back with a woman, the woman was holding the teacher's arm, no, it should be supporting, Xiao Yuan didn't understand what the situation was at all, but he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and the silence was terrible.
Si Xingyu slapped the table, scared Xiao Yuan into a thrill, and looked at the father-in-law of the teacher who was about to burst out, the great grandmaster of the world's number one master, with a cold sweat on his back.
Who knows, Si Xingyu sat down again, returned to his original cold expression, and asked without a single color, "Jiang Ling's son-in-law, what do you mean by this? Don't you really think that I dare not split you?"
Xiao Yuan felt the coldness of the atmosphere, how could it be so cold in June, it was close to the cold in his heart, as if he was going to freeze himself into a popsicle. Xiao Yuan had no choice but to stiffen his head and tremble and say, "The teacher seems to be a little wrong, it can't be sick, right?"
The wife sitting on the side immediately reacted, hurriedly ran to the teacher's side and asked with concern, "Husband, are you okay?"
I didn't see what the situation was just a little far away, but now the teacher walked to the door of the lobby and saw that the teacher seemed to be really sick, his face was pale, he was sweating, and it was very difficult to walk, so it shouldn't be heat stroke!
The teacher reluctantly stood up, pushed away the middle-aged woman's hand, shook and shook as if she was about to fall, Wan'er's wife hurriedly stopped her waist and hugged the master, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on the teacher's face, that look, that graceful figure, all of which made people intoxicated and wanted to be pampered in their arms. Xiao Yuan was stunned for a while. What do you think? That's my own wife.
The teacher gently put down his wife's hand and said weakly to Xiao Yuan, "Give this lady the money to buy roast duck, a total of seven yuan." ”
Xiao Yuan instantly understood, this is the proprietress who bought roast duck! I said why is it so familiar, I even went to her house to buy roast duck! I immediately reacted, took out a silver ticket from my sleeve, and said to the middle-aged woman, "This is a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and the rest will be given to you, thank you for sending the teacher back! You can go!"
The middle-aged woman stretched out her hand to take the silver ticket, glanced at it, and it was indeed a hundred taels of silver tickets, and said suspiciously, "It's really given to me, are you sure?"
Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, you heard it right, you can go!"
"Well, the people of the Prince's Mansion are generous, the slave family did not come in vain this time, not only visited the Prince's Mansion, but also got a hundred taels of silver, which is the income of the slave shop for a few months! It's a pity that I didn't see the handsome prince of my dynasty, otherwise this life would be worth it." After saying that, he twisted his fat ass and shook it away.
Xiao Yuan, who watched it, was called a heart ape. The middle-aged woman disappeared from view.
Seeing the middle-aged woman leaving, Xiao Yuan hurriedly went to the other side of the teacher, helped the teacher to the dining table, sat down, picked up the teapot at hand, poured a glass of water for the teacher, sent it to the teacher, and said, "The teacher will rest first and drink saliva, what the hell is going on!"
The teacher took the teacup, drank it all, and then explained what happened.
It turned out that the teacher went to buy roast duck on the street, and when he arrived at the small shop and packed the roast duck, he found that he didn't bring any money.
So, he said to the owner of the shop that he was from the Prince's Mansion and had forgotten to bring the money when he came out, so could he go to the Prince's Mansion to get it together? At first, the boss didn't believe it, but the proprietress heard about it, and the proprietress wanted to see the world, so she agreed. also said that if the teacher dared to lie to her, the teacher would be sent to the government.
The proprietress followed the teacher back to get the roast duck money, and when she was about to walk to the prince's mansion, the teacher did not go out for a long time, lacked exercise, and was physically exhausted, and because of the hot weather, there was a whirling feeling in his eyes, and he almost fainted.
The proprietress saw that something was wrong with the teacher, and hurriedly helped the teacher up, what is going to happen to the people in the prince's mansion, she can't afford to be a civilian. In this way, the teacher reluctantly came back all the way with the support of the proprietress .
Si Xingyu understood in a trance, looked at the teacher's empty hand and said, "What about the roast duck, what about the roast duck you bought for me?
The teacher said weakly, "Let people take it to the kitchen and cut it into pieces." ”
Si Xingyu just opened his mouth to say something, looked at his daughter's red eyes, and then looked at the weak son-in-law who closed his mouth and moved his chopsticks.
In this way, no one spoke again during the meal, and the atmosphere still felt very awkward. The teacher may have been tired, so he didn't move his chopsticks a few times during the meal. Si Xingyu ate the whole roast duck, and the others didn't move a few times. Xiao Yuan just wanted to eat a piece, but was stared at by Si Xingyu, so he had to turn his stupid chopsticks elsewhere, Wan'er's wife was worried about the teacher because of the teacher, and she didn't move the chopsticks a few times, and the family's first dinner in twelve years ended like this, which was a little different from what I imagined!
After the meal, the little maid served tea. Due to the teacher's physical reasons, the teacher's mother accompanied the teacher to rest, and only Si Xingyu and Xiao Yuan were left.
Si Xingyu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at Xiao Yuan and asked, "In the future, where will I live?"
Xiao Yuan put down the teacup and said, "Master, I have already instructed my subordinates to tidy up the side hall, if you feel that you are not used to living, the kid can choose a day to build one according to the requirements of the master." ”
Si Xingyu slapped the table, "Get used to it, how can you get used to it, my daughter and them, where do they live? Just build one next to them, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, just today!"
Xiao Yuan's originally lazy body immediately sat up straight, and said in a low voice: "Master, it will take a few days to build the palace! You live in the side hall for a while, and the boy will send someone to build it, I believe it will be soon! Otherwise, you live here with the boy, and the boy will move to the side hall first, do you think so, okay?"
Si Xingyu immediately picked up, "No, it's about seven hours before dark, you have to build one for me according to my ideas, you are the prince, don't tell me, you can't even build a palace, I'm not afraid of other people's jokes if I say it." I don't care how many people want to invite me there. ”
Xiao Yuan just wanted to say something, but Si Xingyu stood up directly and said, "I'll go draw drawings, and you can start preparing too!" Without giving Xiao Yuan a chance to speak, he walked out of the lobby directly.
Watching Si Xingyu leave, Xiao Linzi, who was serving beside him, bowed down and said, "Prince, this is simply impossible. I can't even prepare the materials for half a day! Not to mention the craftsmen who got them!"
Xiao Yuan pondered for a while and said, "Go and tear down the four side halls, and the materials removed will be used to build them." ”
Xiao Linzi immediately knelt down and bowed down and said, "No, Prince, this is a big rebellion! Not to mention that even so, how can we have so many craftsmen, and it will take half a day to complete the construction."
At this moment, the soldiers guarding the door trotted over, and saw Xiao Yuan kneeling down and clasping his fists with his hands, "Report to the prince, Lord Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, led six hundred craftsmen to ask for a meeting." ”
My father is so well informed! They came so quickly!
Xiao Yuan got up and said, "Let's go, you guys go with me to have a look," and Xiao Yuan got up and walked outside the palace gate.
The three of them came to the palace gate, and sure enough, they saw Lord Chen and many craftsmen waiting outside the palace gate with tools.
Seeing Xiao Yuan come out, Lord Chen clasped his fists with both hands, and the craftsmen knelt down and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." "It's not spectacular.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly helped Lord Chen up, "Lord Chen, please get up quickly! Craftsmen, please get up quickly! You are so timely!"
Lord Chen straightened up his waist and said, "Don't dare to do it, what the prince asks, what His Majesty orders, don't dare to delay, and ask His Royal Highness the Prince to command!"
Xiao Yuan put away his official tone and said, "In this way, I won't entertain you, and when it's over, I'll talk to you about the wine, now it's troublesome for you, Xiao Linzi, you take them to find the master!"
Xiao Linzi clasped his hands into fists and said, "Everyone, come with me." ”
Then Xiao Yuan returned to his palace to prepare for a rest, this morning was really different from usual! When he woke up again, it was already the time when the sun had set.
Xiao Linzi walked into the bedroom and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are awake!" Lord Chen has been waiting in the study for a quarter of an hour. ”
Xiao Yuan lifted the quilt, sat up and asked, "Is the palace built?"
"According to Mr. Si's request, it was built half an hour ago, and now the maid is decorating the palace, and you can move in at night. ”
In the study, Lord Chen was sitting on the Taishi chair drinking tea, and when he saw Xiao Yuan coming, he put down the teacup, stood up, hugged his fists and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the palace has been built, and I have ordered people to select materials to build the four palaces that have been demolished, and restore them to their original state, do you think this is good?"
Xiao Yuan helped Lord Chen with both hands, "Lord Chen, you have worked hard, thank you this time." The four side halls are not in a hurry, you can be free. ”
"Don't dare to be, this is what Weichen should do, fortunately, nothing went wrong. ”
Xiao Yuan took out a stack of silver tickets from his cuffs and said, "This is five thousand taels of silver tickets, divide them for me! Thanks to you today, otherwise I really don't know how to end it." ”
Master Chen took the silver ticket with both hands.
Xiao Yuan scolded with a smile: "You're welcome!"
"It should be, it should be. Master Chen said as he shoved the silver ticket into his cuff.
The two laughed tacitly for a long time.
After seeing off Master Chen, Xiao Yuan decided to see if the teacher's condition was better, and set off to the backyard where the teacher and his wife lived.
As soon as I walked to the backyard, I found that I couldn't see the house where the teacher lived, and what caught my eye was a row of majestic palaces, the most striking of which was that the palace was so large that only a small door was closed, and the only way to enter and exit was through this small door.
Xiao Yuan pushed open the small door, and found that this small door was actually connected, after entering from the small door, there was actually a small door connected to the backyard, this small door was open, and it could be seen that it was the teacher's residence, Xiao Yuan was a little puzzled, continued to walk inside, and walked out of the small door.
After leaving the small door, Xiao Yuan looked around, and the shock in his heart was self-evident.
The garden here has long been gone, replaced by a large martial arts arena, which is nothing, the key is that this backyard is in the shape of a mouth with the palace in front, surrounded by a wall, the wall is about three meters high, and there seems to be only this small gate in and out, there must be only this door!
Xiao Yuan had already imagined the teacher's future life, and the three-meter-high wall was naturally nothing to the master and the master, but for the master, it was almost like ascending to the sky, and it was impossible to go up! There was only this small gate in the palace, and if the teacher wanted to go out, he had to get the consent of the master and open the door for him.
Today's affairs are still in the mind of the teacher! I should be able to imagine the teacher's life in the future. I feel sorry for the teacher.
"What are you doing here, I just happened to have something to do with you!"
Xiao Yuan turned his head to see his master walking towards him, why were his legs a little weak and a little unable to stand!
"I'll take a look at how the palace is built, Master, are you still satisfied?"
"Satisfied, quite satisfied!"
"You are satisfied with the pain of others, right?" Xiao Yuan secretly thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say so, he must not offend him, otherwise the teacher would be his fate. Then he smiled and said, "It's good to be satisfied, what else do you need, give me an order, and the kid will do it for you!"
"No need, I'll come here tomorrow to treat your dark illness and reconnect you with the path of martial arts. Boy, it's good that you met me, otherwise it would be useless even if you have Hai Shui! You won't be able to get over this hurdle without the support of a strong True Qi. ”
"The master bothered, the boy thank the master, the master is kind to the boy, the boy can't repay him, he must do his best to complete the things the teacher explains"
"Well, boy, hurry up for what you say today"
"Keep it in mind. ”
Xiao Yuan looked back at the teacher's room, shook his head and said, "That kid went back to rest first." ”
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for some.
