Chapter 5: The New Emperor
Time is like an arrow, and time has come to autumn in a blink of an eye.
Emperor Tiancheng died not long ago, and was succeeded by his son Red Kite Emperor, who was known for his ruthlessness, which was also the last year of Tiancheng.
On this day, Xia Luo brought food to Lord Wei as usual.
But today's Lord Wei is obviously a little abnormal.
Normally, at this time, he is most likely meditating cross-legged, but today he is standing there, pacing constantly, and his face twitches from time to time.
It can be seen that he is in a very bad mood.
After a moment of careful observation, Xia Luo understood what the problem was.
Because Master Wei had a pile of torn paper beside him.
It should be that Master Wei was angry after reading the contents of the paper, and tore the paper in a fit of rage.
But what does this have to do with him?
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the old voice of Lord Wei.
"Your name is Xia Luo, aren't you?"
Xia Luo arched his body: "Exactly." ”
"Based on my observations of you during this time, I think your integrity, spirit and perseverance are very good, so I want to take you as an apprentice."
Sure enough, they will take him as a disciple.
Xia Lu was extremely disdainful of Lord Wei's words in his heart.
He brought food to this old thing every day, and he didn't say a few words, so he could see that he had so many things?
Although he was disdainful, he still pretended to be flattered.
"Really? Lord Wei will actually hang a curtain on me as a little handyman, I ......"
Before he finished pretending, he was directly interrupted by Lord Wei.
"Those apprenticeship scenes will be talked about in the future, it's a bit urgent to be a teacher, now pass you a sword and a secret book, and you have to practice hard every day during my absence."
After speaking, he directly took out a sword and a strange book from behind him and handed them to Xia Luo.
After handing over the things to Xia Luo, he hurried outside.
Before leaving, he turned his head and said something to Xia Luo.
"You go and say hello to the head of the Xia family, just say that I will deal with the affairs of Cangzhou, and he will understand."
Looking at the back of Lord Wei leaving, Xia Luo instinctively felt that this guy was definitely not going to do anything good.
But he didn't bother to care.
Don't do it in vain.
After picking up the exercises, I only flipped them over cursoryly and closed them again.
This is not a martial arts technique for cultivating internal strength, but a sword technique.
If you want to understand this swordsmanship, you have to practice.
After putting away the swordsmanship and sword, he left Lord Wei's courtyard.
After thinking about it, I first went to tell the head of the Xia family, Lord Wei, that he was gone, and it was not too late to cultivate.
The Xia family's mansion was given to Xia Changchang by the current emperor, and the area is very large, divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard.
The inner courtyard is where the Xia family lives.
Therefore, the family in the inner courtyard is not the same as the family in the outer court.
The family members in the outer courtyard basically do rough work such as chopping wood and boiling water.
And what the family in the outer courtyard is doing is the seemingly easy, but extremely troublesome delicate work of serving the young master.
At this time, in the inner courtyard of the Xia family, several maids were talking about something, and they seemed extremely happy.
"You know what? In the morning, when I was studying ink for the third young master, the third young master praised me for the good ink I had developed. ”
"You can actually get the favor of the third young master, I'm afraid that you can be accepted as a concubine by the third young master in the future, and you will soar?"
"What do you say, our sister Qing can't be a wife?"
"Hahaha."
It seems that no matter which world it is, there is such a thing as Puxin.
At this time, Xia Luo walked over with a smile on his face.
"Do you know where the head of the house is now?"
When the three of them heard the sound, they saw Xia Luo smiling and very respectful.
You know, people like to compare themselves with each other, and then gradually form a chain of contempt.
There is also such a chain of contempt in this Xia family, that is, the maid looks down on the miscellaneous servants, and then the miscellaneous servants in the inner courtyard look down on the miscellaneous servants in the outer courtyard.
The maid can be said to be the top of the chain of contempt, and Xia Luo is the end of the chain of contempt.
"You're a handyman in the outer court?"
"Well, I'm in charge of running errands."
After confirming Xia Luo's identity, the three maids looked at the long sword behind Xia Luo in unison.
The long sword is a warrior's thing, and it must be abnormal for a miscellaneous servant to carry it on his back.
Combined with his inquiry about the location of the head of the Xia family, the three maids immediately thought that this miscellaneous servant was to give a sword to the head of the Xia family.
Then, the three of them looked at each other again, and they all saw what each other meant.
One of them was the maid known as Sister Qing who smiled slightly.
"In this way, if you have anything to do with the head of the family, tell me, and I will help you do it."
These people are used to being dogs.
And what dogs like most is to stammering with their owners.
is like sending something to the head of the family, this kind of good opportunity to tie up the head of the family, they naturally can't let it go.
Who knew that as soon as the words came out, Xia Luo shook his head firmly.
"I can't say that."
The ghost knows if he will tell these maids if the old thing that cultivates magic skills will be angry.
What do you say to yourself when you get angry?
After hearing Xia Luo say this, the three maids suddenly lost their good faces.
They thought that Xia Luo was going to snatch this opportunity to perform in front of the head of the family with them.
"Don't you little handyman know how to lift?"
"Do you really think that if you meet the head of the family, you can make the head of the house remember you? Don't be delusional......"
"You rough baby, you don't know any etiquette, if you collide with the head of the family, who will bear this responsibility?"
Looking at these maids, you say a word to me, Xia Luo people are stupid.
He didn't expect that in a feudal society, people could be crazy like this.
But it's pathetic when you think about it.
Just when he didn't know what to do, a familiar voice sounded.
"Brother Xia! How did you get to the inner court? ”
Turning his head to look, who else could it be if it wasn't Xia Sichou?
After seeing this guy, Xia Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, although this guy looked very immature when he was with him, he was also the young master of the Xia family.
is still the most spoiled young master.
With him, it is estimated that a lot of trouble will be saved.
So he came directly to Xia Sichou's side.
"Lord Wei has already taken me as an apprentice."
Hearing this, Xia Sichou was particularly excited.
kept patting and asking Xia Luo if it was real. It was as if he himself had been taken in.
Seeing the intimate relationship between the two, the three maids were dumbfounded.
Why could a miscellaneous servant in the outer courtyard be so close to the Ninth Young Master, as if he were a brother?
Recalling what they had just done to Xia Luo and what they said, the three of them only felt that their legs were weak.
In this old society, the lives of the subordinates were like ants.
If Xia Lu said bad things about the three of them to the Ninth Young Master.
With Xia Sichou's temperament, he will definitely tell his brothers, and when the time comes......
The more the three of them thought about it, the more frightened they became, and finally they simply knelt on the ground directly towards Xia Luo.
Xia Luo didn't want to pay attention to these three snake spirits at all, and he asked Xia Sichou.
Wei ...... When my master was leaving, I asked me to bring a message to your grandfather, I don't know where your grandfather is now? ”
"Where can he be, he must be reviewing the approval, I'll take you to find him."
Due to the excessive pampering of the elders, Xia Sichou can be said to be rampant in the inner courtyard.
directly took Xia Luo to the office of Xia Changchang, the head of the Xia family.
Xia Chang's sleeves are breezy, at least in the eyes of outsiders, so the office is not magnificent.
It's just a small secluded room.
But it was quiet, and even Xia Sichou, who had always been very arrogant, lowered his voice and knocked lightly on the door after arriving here.
"Grandpa, Xia Luo came to you, saying that Lord Wei had taken him as an apprentice, and he had something to tell you."
"Enter."
Xia Changyuan's voice was not angry and arrogant, with an unquestionable taste.
But that's what the judge wants.
After Xia Luo entered the house, before he could speak, Xia Changchang said.
"I have long said good things about you in front of Brother Wei, and it is expected to accept you as an apprentice at this time, since you are asked to bring the words, Brother Wei must have left, right?"
Xia Luo blinked, sneering in his heart.
This is to force himself to owe him a favor.
Don't think about it, you must hope that you will cultivate your magic skills, and then morally kidnap yourself in the future, so that you can become a tool of the Xia family.
arched his hand: "Well, he said that he was going to deal with the affairs of Cangzhou, and since the words have been conveyed to the head of the family, then I will not disturb the head of the family." ”
Xia Luo was about to leave, when he heard Xia Yuan's voice coming again.
