Chapter 8 Life is Different
"The disciple knows." The man said respectfully.
"That's right. Su Yun's girl is fifteen this year, right? I heard that the young man of the Zhang family is also thirteen years old this year, and if he has the opportunity to ask two more children to get in touch, maybe he can still have a relationship. The old fox looked at the man and asked casually.
The man was startled, and raised his head to look at the old fox, his eyes full of disbelief. A big question mark was generated in my mind at this time: Isn't that kid the illegitimate son of the old fox left outside?
"Su Yun's girl is arrogant, I'm afraid she won't fall in love with a poor boy." The man scratched his head.
"It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you can get in touch with it more and create opportunities. What if you really like it? The old fox smiled and highlighted the grape skins.
"At this time, I was curious about that young man, what kind of character could be in the eyes of the ancestor." After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Looking at the man's distant back, the old fox unhurriedly stuffed a grape into his mouth, and muttered unhurriedly at this time: "I will tell you, there are still people and gods in this world?" No! That's not a human god! That's inherently sacred! It's just that the dragon is trapped in the shallows, and this divine crown seems to be out of time. It is a pity that the sacred time has passed. ”
Inside the Su family manor
Zhang Jian was led into the backyard and came to a house with a roaring fire, where three beautiful and delicate-skinned girls brought hot water, waited for him to wash, and changed into new clothes, which looked a little better.
It's just that I have experienced wind and rain in the mountains all year round, my skin is dark and dry, and with gorgeous clothes, I have a bit of earthy taste.
Especially the big hands covered with calluses, coupled with the dark face, add a bit of ridiculousness.
"Childe, sir, please come over." Zhang Jian dressed up as a maid, arranged the hair on his head, and then followed the girl through the mountain villa with many corridors and waists, and came to the back mountain hall.
in the main hall
Su Xiaoxiao, who was re-washed, was wearing a pink lotus jacket and a small ball tied up on her head, looking like a little princess, sitting at the table at this time with a greasy face gnawing on her elbows.
In the center of the main hall stood a majestic man in his forties and forties, with his hands behind his back at this time, and his tiger-eyed eyes looked out of the main hall. Zhang Jian walked from outside the main hall before he stepped in, the air in the entire hall seemed to be frozen, and an indescribable sense of oppression came to his face, and his chest seemed to be pressed against a big stone.
The man in the center of the hall seemed to suddenly turn into an entrenched tiger at this time, exuding the aura of a king at this time, looking down on the mountains and forests.
Seeing Zhang Jian's arrival, the man suddenly opened his mouth, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.
"Old man Su Tianba, thank you little brother for saving my daughter." Shen Tianba stepped forward, although he was smiling and trying his best to restrain his momentum, the vitality field that originated from the instinct of life still made him can't help but sway, as if he saw a tiger with a sturdy body and bared its fangs and pounced.
"I've seen Master Shen. Miss is so cute, as long as she is a person with a clear conscience, she will lend a helping hand when she sees it. Zhang Jian looked at the rich and noble Master Shen, chose to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and opened his mouth to tout.
"Zhang Jian, I love to hear what you say." Su Xiaoxiao stuck out her head from her greasy elbow at this time, and her little face smiled like a flower: "Dad, don't say something vain, Zhang Jian will be my person in the future, and you can't treat him badly." ”
Shen Tianba smiled for a moment, and then asked Zhang Jian to sit down, Su Xiaoxiao directly stretched out his hand and asked Zhang Jian to sit beside her, and then climbed directly into Zhang Jian's arms.
"You girl, why are you so rude!" Master Su reprimanded helplessly.
"Dad, Zhang Jian saved me, how are you going to thank him?" Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.
"Your sister is still missing a steward, and I plan to send him to your sister." Master Su looked at Zhang Jian: "I wanted to give you some silver, but the silver will always run out one day." In this world, bandits are rampant, and you are given too much silver, and you may not be able to keep it. It's better to leave you in the house and make a living for you, and if my Shen family doesn't fall in the future, you can have no worries about food and clothing. ”
He looked at the young man in front of him seriously, his skin was dark, his palms were full of calluses, and only a pair of eyes were bright.
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see anything outstanding about the young man who deserved the old fox's attention.
This is clearly a poor boy who is too ordinary to be ordinary.
With his status and status, he can give the other party a few hundred taels of silver at will, and then send him a few acres of land, which can be regarded as worthy of the other party's rescue kindness. It wasn't worth his reception at all, but through the old fox's words, he was too curious about the young man in front of him.
"To my sister?" The little girl instantly felt that the braised elbow in her hand was not fragrant, and shook her head like a rattle: "No! Absolutely not! He's my man. ”
"That's it." Master Su looked at Zhang Jian: "Su Ji's yard still has some industry, that girl doesn't have the heart to take care of it, you might as well go and exercise, even if you lose it, it doesn't matter, it's all about gaining experience." In the future, I will give you ten taels of silver every month, what do you think? ”
"No! He still has to practice martial arts. Su Xiaoxiao's face was full of displeasure, and she put down her elbow at this time: "I have promised him to send him to the Five Elements Martial Arts Hall." ”
"Nonsense!" Old Man Su twitched his eyebrows: "The Five Elements Martial Arts Hall is not so easy to enter. If you want to practice martial arts, do you have no warriors in our family, and when the time comes, ask Hu Xiaohua to teach him kung fu. ”
"If our family's martial arts can be put on the stage, my sister and I will not worship other sects." Su Xiaoxiao drooped his face: "Shilong is known as the number one master in Zhenjiang, and he has a big background behind him, and his mentorship is unfathomable. If Zhang Jian can enter the Five Elements Martial Arts Pavilion, it will also be a creation. Even if you start as a miscellaneous disciple, it is better than staying in the mansion, and if you have Shi Long's recommendation in the future, you can also enter the big sect. Our family's family martial arts are passed on to men and women, you don't even pass on to me, but will you pass on Zhang Jian? Besides, for the sake of your face, Shilong still dares to be uninteresting? ”
Su Tianba's words paused, and he was blocked by Su Xiaoxiao's words for a while.
"Okay, I'll repair a book with Shi Long, you go to the Five Elements Martial Arts Hall to collide with the Luck Road, if you can be favored by Shi Long, it is also a good thing that there is really that creation. It's just an errand in the house, so you can continue to lead it. How do you live without errands? Your parents need this money too. It can be regarded as leaving a way out, in case you can't practice martial arts in the future, you can come back to beg for a living. Su Tian said domineeringly: "If you want to practice martial arts, I will sponsor you with five thousand taels of silver, whether you can succeed depends on whether you have the creation." ”
Turned around and shouted outside the door: "Feng Liuliu." ”
An old man in his sixties, dressed in a black short coat and with a slightly short stature, walked in and saluted respectfully: "Master." ”
The old man was full of silver hair, meticulously combed into small silver-white braids, and the braids swayed with the movements.
"This son will be the steward of the eldest lady's side in the future, and will be responsible for all the business under the eldest lady's name. You set him a yard in the mountains. Speaking of this, Su Tianba hesitated slightly: "It's next door to the eldest lady......." ”
The old butler's pupils shrank, and he said respectfully, "Yes." ”
"I'll go with you to choose a house." Su Xiaoxiao saw that the overall situation had been decided, so she could only accept it helplessly.
After eating
Zhang Jian walked out of the hall with the old housekeeper, and at this time, the old housekeeper took a fancy to the young man with a dark face and a weathered face, and said with a gentle face: "I heard that you saved the little lady?" ”
This young man was born in a poor family at first glance, and he was not worthy of a look at him outside.
"Feng Liuliu, don't give me a slap yet. Is this kind of thing you can inquire about? Su Xiaoxiao followed Zhang Jian's side and reprimanded him when he heard the words.
Feng Liuliu was stunned for a moment, and then accompanied by a smiling face: "It's the old slave who is talkative, please don't blame the little lady." ”
As he spoke, he fanned his mouth slightly.
"I said slap mouth." Su Xiaoxiao's footsteps paused, and his voice did not have the slightest fluctuation or ripple.
The old butler paused.
"Xiaoxiao, or forget it." Zhang Jian was next to relieve the embarrassment.
"Palm." Su Xiaoxiao's voice did not fluctuate.
Feng Liuliu's eyes narrowed, he glanced at Su Xiaoxiao seriously, and then a loud slap was issued, a red blood mark appeared on his face, half of his face was swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he lowered his head and said softly:
"It's the old slave's fault, and I ask the young lady to forgive me."
"Hmph, you go to the side, Zhang Jian's affairs will be arranged by me." Su Xiaoxiao pulled Zhang Jian and walked away quickly.
It wasn't until Feng Liuliu turned around that he couldn't see a trace anymore, and Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Jian: "Do you think I'm particularly unkind?" ”
"It's unkind, it's an old man in his sixties, and he was so humiliated by you in front of outsiders...... "Zhang Jian is a smart person, he didn't stop him much, he just watched coldly.
"If you stay away from him in the future, I always feel that he is not a good person. I always felt that he was inextricably linked, but this old dog has been with my father for more than 50 years and has won my father's trust. Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Jian: "You have to believe me, my feelings are not wrong." I can feel your heart, the kindest of all I have ever met, and your heart is full of kindness to all beings in the world. That old dog, I always felt that something was wrong. ”
Zhang Jian couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, was Su Xiaoxiao praising him or scolding him?
But he doesn't want to be troubled!
Especially in an unfamiliar environment.
"Now, I know that the house in my sister's yard is the best, and we will be neighbors in the future." Su Xiaoxiao shouted in the mountains at this time:
"Invincible !!"
"Whoosh~" There was a wheezing sound in the mountains and forests, and then I saw a 'big dog' the size of a cow with black hair like ink, and sprang out from the mountains and forests.
The hair on the big dog's body shimmered and sparkled, like the best silk in the world, the best satin.
The muscular lines of the body are clearly visible.
At this time, he opened his bloody mouth and pounced on the two of them with his fangs exposed.
Which big dog did he like, Zhang Jian was like being targeted by a tiger, his whole calf began to tremble, his eyes showed a touch of horror, and he subconsciously stood behind Su Xiaoxiao.
"Stop, get down!" Su Xiaoxiao saw that the big dog was about to pounce, and hurriedly reprimanded.
The big dog's eyes showed a touch of humanized grievance and cunning, and then he paused and threw himself at the girl's feet, his tail shook vigorously, and his eyes showed a touch of flattery.
"This is my little brother, invincible! In the future, you will be my little brother, and invincible will be my little brother. The girl introduced Zhang Jian, and then stepped forward and kicked the big dog fiercely:
"You shit, where are you going? Your boss and I were almost killed, and you were punished for not taking medicine for a month. ”
After speaking, the whole person rode directly on the big dog's body and slapped the big dog's head vigorously. The big dog whimpered, and his eyes were full of obedience and grievance.
The girl ignored the big dog and turned to look at Zhang Jian: "Come, ride up." This mountain is too big, and it will take us an hour to walk by ourselves. ”
"Can I ride him?" Zhang Jian was tentative.
Such a big dog can nibble on itself in one bite.
"Of course he can, he will be your little brother in the future." The girl triumphantly stroked the big dog's hair.
Zhang Jian wanted to step forward, but at this time, the big black dog suddenly turned around, staring at him with a pair of eyes full of ferocity, and his teeth were exposed.
With that expression of being ready to pounce at any time, Zhang Jian couldn't help but shudder, and his face turned a little pale: "Forget it." ”
"Smack~" Su Xiaoxiao twitched the invincible head, and then grabbed Zhang Jian: "Let's go, don't be wordy, we still have to go to the Five Elements Martial Arts Hall." ”
Zhang Jian on the dog...... No, it's dog riding!
Riding on the dog, the invincible glanced at Zhang Jian deeply, then stood up and rolled up a hurricane, and began to run wild in Langfang.
"The house on the third floor belongs to my sister, and the room on the second floor is mine. You live on the ground floor. ”
"It's not appropriate for me to live on the third floor, right?" Zhang Jian looked at the exquisite bamboo building in the mountain, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"What's wrong, you don't live on the first floor, why do I listen to your stories every day?" The little girl said angrily.
As he spoke, he pushed the door and walked in, and it was a simple bamboo building, with no tables, chairs and benches, only a bamboo basket the size of a grinding plate, and the bamboo basket was covered with straw.
At this time, Invincible followed behind the two, staring at Zhang Jian with a pair of eyes, and his eyes were full of unkindness.
Especially when Zhang Jian came to which bamboo basket, he touched it curiously: "It really looks like a kennel." ”
It's a pity that Zhang Jian didn't find out.
Looking at the simple bamboo building, Zhang Jian also felt very satisfied.
The key is to be more satisfied with the salary offered by the Su family.
In the future, I can be regarded as having a foothold in this world.
"I'll ask someone to arrange it for you when I go back, and now let's go to the Five Elements Martial Arts Hall."
"I'll go on my own, and I'll go with you, it's too ostentatious. You don't know how many people are staring at you now, and if something goes wrong again, I can't afford to lose my life. Zhang Jian hurriedly refused.
Hearing this, the girl's face turned pale, and then she took out a letter from her sleeve: "If you take this letter, that old guy in Shilong will not dare not give me the face of the Su family." But when you enter the martial arts hall, how much cultivation you can make depends on yourself. ”
