Chapter 22: Tell the Truth
Liu Shen deliberately sold a pass, and did not rush to say that there was anything to ask her for help, but chatted with her about the progress of the recent account audit...
Pei Xueyan also knew his identity as a 'staff officer', and said bluntly: "As you guessed, this morning I personally sent the three shopkeepers who made false accounts and engaged in private affairs into the government, the evidence is conclusive, and the government has also convicted them in accordance with the laws and regulations of the great cadres, and they will not be able to come out after ten years and eight years." ”
"Before that, I used the words you taught me to consult the old man."
"I was quite nervous, but I didn't expect that the old man was very satisfied with my idea, and I heard that I was going to use some means to deter people, and even took the initiative to give me manpower to help me with advice."
"You're right..."
Pei Xueyan said with some frustration: "The old man is indeed not a good man and a woman, the poison of the plot and the ruthlessness of the means are not at all like the kind old man I have known for more than a year." ”
What frustrated her was not that Master Song was inconsistent...
It's that I, who was my daughter-in-law, didn't even look at the old man who had been with him for more than a year, but was stimulated by the person in front of him who had never been in contact with the old man and could deduce the old man's intentions just by a few words.
Pei Xueyan thinks that she is not stupid, but in front of the man in front of her, she is not good at arithmetic, and she doesn't seem to be good at dealing with people......
Arithmetic is just that, it can't be compared, is this life as he said......
Out of the blue?
"Why should young grandma worry too much?"
Liu Shen could naturally see the frustration in her expression, and smiled and said with relief: "I said before that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and the young grandmother shows off her wisdom, but as an authority, she doesn't see it clearly, if the young grandmother is a bystander, she will naturally see it more clearly than anyone else." ”
"You don't have to comfort me."
Pei Xueyan pursed her lips in a tasteful manner and muttered: "You said that you were born to know arithmetic, and I believe it; But you're obviously not as old as me, how can you be so familiar with this person? ”
She looked Liu Shen up and down, and asked seriously, "Are you so smart?" ”
"Hahaha~"
Liu Shen was amused by her contrasting cuteness, and said with a narrow smile: "Smart people only make friends with smart people, didn't a smart person like me make friends with a young grandmother?" Am I such a smart person still have to ask for you, young grandmother? ”
"That's, that's!!"
Pei Xueyan was coaxed to raise her pink neck, her expression was full of arrogance, she waved her hand, and said quite arrogantly: "We are friends, we should support each other and help each other, besides, Liu Shen, you have done me a great favor, just say something." ”
"There really is something."
Seeing that the dishes were ready, Liu Shen skillfully tore off half of the red-skinned duck, and asked while eating, "Do you remember where we first met?" ”
"Of course I do."
Pei Xueyan nodded and quipped: "When I carried the statue of the Bodhisattva in the ancestral hall of the Song family, I felt at first glance that among the nine people, you kid looked the most pleasing to the eye." ”
"Thank you for your appreciation."
Liu Shen glared at her angrily and said, "I heard you say that the Bodhisattva statue of the Song family was carried in by a martial artist of the Three Realms?" ”
"That's right."
Pei Xueyan nodded, and asked quite puzzled: "That's what the old man said, what's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a little curious."
Liu Shen shook his head and asked with a slight movement in his eyes: "Then the Bodhisattva should have received incense for many years in the ancestral hall of the Song family, why did Old Man Song suddenly think of smashing it?" ”
"Because it's useless..."
Pei Xueyan pursed her lips and explained: "The old man has no heirs when he was young, and then he invited a senior monk to tell his fortune, and the senior monk said that there was a problem with the Feng Shui of the Song family, so he asked the old man to come to Heyang County to settle down and change the feng shui, and then ask the Bodhisattva statue to return to the house to worship and transfer the channel." ”
"It's also strange to say, the old man really gave birth to a son within a few years after he did it."
"The old man is overjoyed when he gets a son in middle age, and he keeps in mind what the monk said, as long as he worships the Bodhisattva statue for 30 years, he will be able to keep his heirs safe."
"As a result, the old man has been worshipping the Bodhisattva statue for more than 20 years, but the only son in the family died a few years ago, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and the only son in the family was sent, how sad and angry the old man was?"
"Maybe it's because I see things and think about people, the old man said that he would smash the Bodhisattva statue to vent his anger."
“……”
Liu Shen nodded thoughtfully and asked, "So, that Bodhisattva statue is actually the one that the senior monk placed in the ancestral hall of the Song family?" ”
"That's right."
"Does the young grandmother know who the monk's surname is?"
"Huh?"
Pei Xueyan looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”
"Nothing, nothing."
Liu Shen smiled and said casually: "I also believe in fate, I can't help but be a little curious when I hear that Old Man Song has met such a high monk." ”
Pei Xueyan didn't doubt it when she heard this, she only shook her head and said: "Just now, those are still what the old man told me when he was chatting, as for what the senior monk called, I really don't know, and the old man didn't say it." ”
She muttered with a displeased expression, "Didn't you say that you wanted my help with something, how could you ask about these irrelevant things?" ”
“……”
Liu Shen laughed when he heard this, and asked, "Does the Song family have a martial artist now?" ”
"I really don't know."
Pei Xueyan shook her head tightly and said, "It's only been a year since I entered the door of the Song family, and before my husband died, I was just a happy ornament; After his death, the old man was afraid that no one would send him to his end, so he let me get in touch with the big and small things of the Song family, and in the final analysis, I have only been in contact with it in the past few months. ”
“……”
Liu Shen was a little disappointed when he heard this...
He originally thought that if the Song family raised a martial artist, he could introduce one or two through the relationship between the young grandmother, and maybe he could also use the internal skills of the book to copy it down and learn it.
Now Pei Xueyan, the young grandmother of the Song family, doesn't know if the Song family has a martial artist now, so that idea is naturally unrealistic.
Pei Xueyan saw that there was a faint disappointment in his expression, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing to inquire about Wufu?" I'll help you inquire when I go back. ”
Liu Shen nodded, and then started from the "Crazy Demon Knife Technique" that he obtained from Yuan Xiaofei and Yu Hong brothers and sisters a few days ago, and practiced the knife technique by himself, but found that he only had moves but no internal strength, and the embarrassment of Fang Cai's plans were made clear one by one.
"You want to practice martial arts!?"
Pei Xueyan glared at him after hearing this, and then seemed to think of something interesting, and said: "I heard people say that you have to start practicing martial arts from a young age, and you only start learning at this age, will it be too late?" ”
"Ambition is not old."
"How old are you?"
"How old?"
Liu Shen heard the action of eating, put down the chopsticks and stretched out his hand to pose a bundle of length, and said seriously: "Don't hide it, it's eighteen..."
"Eighteen?"
Pei Xueyan saw his movements, and the smugness faintly revealed in his expression, and asked quite incomprehensibly: "You are only eighteen years old?" ”
"Huh? You ask about age? ”
Liu Shen's face was straight, and he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of rice, and changed his words: "That's not eighteen, I'm just seventeen years old this year." ”
"Seventeen?"
Pei Xueyan heard him say that he was only seventeen years old, and he was slightly distracted, and after coming back to his senses, he laughed and quipped: "Although I saw that you were not yet crowned, I really didn't expect you to be seventeen." Not right......"
She said with a sudden pause, then glared and asked, "What did you just say that there are eighteen?" ”
“……”
Liu Shen shrank his neck and buried his head in the rice, but he couldn't hear it...
And when Pei Xueyan saw his posture, she seemed to have confirmed her guess, her charming cheeks couldn't help but get hot, and she secretly spit on the stinky boy in front of her and ate her own tofu in her heart.
'Stinky brother, the stubble hasn't grown hard, so you can learn to be a hooligan, right?' ’
Although she was embarrassed in her heart, she pretended to be nothing on her face, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the Song family has a martial artist, but you have the internal strength you want, and I have a good internal skill in my hand..."
"Huh?"
Liu Shen heard that Pei Xueyan had a book of excellent internal skills in his hand, and the action of shaving rice suddenly stopped in the air, and after putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he immediately changed his face: "Young grandma, you are auspicious~"
"Ouch~"
Pei Xueyan put her hands on her chest and didn't look at him, but complained to herself: "I've been tired for a few days, my shoulders are a little sore, tsk, a little sore." ”
She didn't notice that her movements were squeezing the already fruitful peaks even more majestic...
