Chapter 22 Apology
Three days later, Qin Wen was already able to walk back and forth, he was just exhausted on the Double Tiger Stage, after taking the pill and after a day of pranayama, most of his vitality recovered, and the sword wound under the ribs was healed by the pill to stop bleeding, except for not being able to move vigorously, there was no problem with walking.
As soon as I arrived at Xiang Hao's study and chatted with him for a few words, I heard Qian San hurriedly walk in at this time and said, "Young master, Jiao Shilang and his son are here, and I have already taken them to the side hall to serve tea." ”
Xiang Hao nodded, and then said to Qin Wen: "Qin worship, they are here to ask you daoqian, let's go together." ”
The two came to the side hall and saw Jiao Shilang sitting on the Taishi chair, while Jiao Zhang was standing behind his father with his head down. ”
Xiang Hao also hurriedly returned the salute: "Lord Squire, please take a seat." After a few pleasantries, the three of them sat down.
Just sat down, Jiao Shilang said with a solemn face: "A few days ago, the dog was stubborn and collided with the worship in the house, and today I specially brought him to make amends to the son, bastard things, and don't come out to apologize soon." ”
Jiao Zhang walked out with his head lowered at this time, bowed to Xiang Hao and Qin Wen and said, "Pickaxe Gongzi, Qin Offering, I was too reckless a few days ago, I collided with Qin Offering, and I hope Gongzi and Qin Offering will forgive me." ”
Xiang Hao hesitated and glanced at Qin Wen, and saw that Qin Wen's face was very calm, so he showed a faint smile and said: "Jiao Gongzi, please get up, when my father was alive, he and Jiao Shangshu and Jiao Shilang were friends and confidants on weekdays, and we can be regarded as good families, and please Jiao Gongzi don't listen to the villain's slander in the future, which will ruin the friendship between the two governments." ”
Jiao Zhang heard Xiang Hao's words, and he didn't know how to respond, so he had to turn around and look at his father, Jiao Shilang still said coldly: "Childe has forgiven you, come back and stand." ”
Jiao Zhang had to honestly return to his father's back, and after seeing him stand still, Jiao Shilang softened his face and said: "The day before yesterday, I only heard about the Shuanghutai competition when I was in the next dynasty, and I hurried there without even returning home, and I didn't have time to stop it before the competition, and the harmful Qin worship was also injured. ”
Qin Wen got up and said: "For the competition, I also want the life-saving grace of Lord Xiexie, even if I have been recuperating in the house for the past few days, I have not had the opportunity to come to the door to thank you." ”
Jiao Shilang smiled slightly and said: "Qin is serious, this is originally the dog's fault, I have already found out everything in the past few days, and I came to the door today for Daoqian, and secondly, I will explain it to Gongzi." ”
"At the end of the competition that day, Jiao Peng confessed to me, it was Zhao Fengfeng on the Huiwang Mansion who gave him the array, and the dog didn't know it at the time, my father was angry and wanted to expel his whole family from the family, and then sent him to the mansion to give Qin an explanation, but he didn't expect to notice for a while, he actually committed suicide in fear of sin. ”
Xiang Hao hesitated for a moment and said: "Although this Jiao worship broke the rules of the competition, it was also confused by others for a while, and it has nothing to do with your mansion." ”
Jiao Shilang pondered slightly: "This time, in order to make up for my mistakes, I specially brought a thin gift today, and there are also three strains of Xuan-level high-grade elixir, so that Qin can use it to heal his wounds, and return it to Gongzi and Xiaona." ”
Qin Wen didn't expect that Jiao Peng had committed suicide at this time, thinking that he was just a pawn used by Zhao Song to deal with himself, although he almost died under the bursting array that day, but now the anger in his heart has also disappeared mostly, so he got up and arched his hand and said: "Lord Shilang is really polite." ”
Seeing that the matter had been completed, Jiao Shilang got up and said, "Pickaxe Gongzi, Qin Feng, there are still some things to deal with in my house, so we will leave." ”
Xiang Hao hurriedly got up at this time and said: "Since Lord Shilang has come to the mansion today, I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and it is not too late to go back after eating at the mansion at noon." ”
Jiao Shilang arched his hand at this time and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the son, there is indeed something at home today, and I will come to visit him when he has time to come." After speaking, he walked out of the main hall with Jiao Zhang.
Xiang Hao and Qin Wen had no choice but to send them out of the mansion, looking at Jiao Shilang sitting in the small sedan chair he brought when he came, and following the sedan chair that slowly disappeared along the way he came, Xiang Hao shook his head slightly and said to Qin Wen: "It seems that Jiao Shilang is still wary of our palace this time, and he doesn't even eat lunch in the mansion." ”
On the way back to the mansion, Qian San hesitated and said: "Jiao Shangshu and his son are both well-known for their sleek in the court, if the young master passes the selection of the dragon jue, I think according to the previous relationship between him and the prince, he should be on the side of supporting the young master." ”
Xiang Hao sighed slightly and said: "It's hard to say, the matter of the Shuanghutai competition, Jiao Peng, who was bought by Zhao Song, is dead, their Jiao family doesn't want to leave any truth for me and the Huiwang Mansion, and now Xiang Kuang wants to envelop the Jiao family, and it is estimated that there is no way to start, Jiao Shangshu and his son have calculated like this from the subtleties, it seems that they really want to get out of this matter between me and Xiang Kuang." ”
Qin Wen didn't feel any interest in the things they talked about, the purpose of his coming to the capital was to practice more, and the battle of Shuanghutai gave him great stimulation, although now there was a high-level monk around him, but at any time, his own strength was the most important.
Because his cultivation is too low, his advantage in the pill has not yet appeared, and the Xuan-level high-grade pill can still be bought in a big business house like Huatian Pavilion, and only when he can refine the spirit-level pill can he be regarded as having a real foundation in this shijie.
With an ample source of elixir in Duanwang's Mansion and an exercise like the Nine Turns of Flame Yang Jue in his hands, as long as he had enough time, Qin Wen knew that his cultivation prospects were still bright.
As soon as he thought of this, he saw Han Duan rushing over with Lu Mo, came to Qin Wen and Xiang Hao's side, and said, "Teacher, the Dingyan Dan has been refined." ”
Xiang Hao and Qian San looked at Han Duan in surprise and said, "How many pills have been produced?"
Han Duan took out the jade bottle from his storage bag and said: "This time, a total of nine pills have been refined, you can find someone to try one first, the elixir bought in the capital is relatively old, I think the medicinal effect is still relatively good." ”
Qin Wen took the jade bottle, he thought about it, Han Duan started refining it from the afternoon when the Shuanghutai competition ended, and now it is four and a half days, and the time is about the same, he opened the mouth of the bottle, sniffed slightly, nodded and said, "The fire of alchemy is not bad." ”
Qian San thought for a while and said, "Since Qin is more satisfied, then I will shiyan first, and when I go to negotiate a deal with Baicaozhai, I can also let them see the effect." ”
Qin Wen smiled slightly, handed the jade bottle to Qian San, and Han Duan explained beside him at this time: "Steward Qian, after you take the pill, you will start to run the vitality, and the effect of the medicine will gradually restore your body to the way it was when you were young, and when you feel that you want to stay at this age, just stop running the vitality." ”
Qian San nodded, and took a pill, Xiang Hao asked people to take out a bronze mirror from the room next to him, and put it in front of Qian San, Qian San looked at his face in the bronze mirror, and slowly ran his vitality, sure enough, the gray hair on his head gradually turned gray, and the wrinkles on his forehead were slowly fading.
Xiang Hao also looked at this scene in surprise, Qian San waited until his hair was completely blackened and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes disappeared, and the face of a middle-aged man appeared in the bronze mirror, so he stopped the operation of his vitality and said with satisfaction: "This pill is too godly, I think Baicaozhai and Huatian Pavilion will definitely rush to ask for it." ”
Xiang Hao looked at Qian San with a little puzzlement and said, "Old Qian, why don't you become younger anymore, you still look a little old now." ”
Qian San smiled self-deprecatingly: "I often run errands for the young master outside, I am too young to deal with people, now this complexion is just right, in the future, Han Danshi will have leisure, I will also buy some elixirs and let Danshi refine a few of them for a few old women in my family, so that they can regain the appearance of their youth, and when they return home, their hearts will be much more comfortable." ”
Xiang Hao and Qin Wen couldn't help but be amused by his words, and Han Duan also smiled and said: "I bought this elixir to practice my hands, give them one for each of the two firms, and give the rest to Qian Steward." ”
Qian San said with a smile: "Then thank you Han Danshi, I don't have anything precious to give in my hands, there are two Xuan-level medium-grade elixirs that the prince once rewarded me when he was in Nanyu City, and it is useless to put them in my hands, I will send them to the Qin Offering Courtyard later." ”
Han Duan looked at Qin Wen hesitantly at this time, and Qin Wen smiled slightly: "This Dingyan Pill is just a special Dan Fang, don't be too polite in charge of money." ”
Xiang Hao said at this time: "It is not easy for Han Duan to refine the elixir, so don't shirk it anymore, Qin Offering I have already discussed with Lao Gao during this time, and I am going to let Qian San collect some good-quality haode elixirs back, and then I will ask the worship to refine some pills for the house." ”
Qin Wen nodded and said: "Childe can collect more elixirs, and when the time comes, just send them directly to Longyun Pavilion, I will let Shuang'er mix it first, and it will be okay to recuperate my injuries for a few more days, first refine a furnace of Xuan-level mid-grade elixir to try the performance of Fuzhong Earth Fire." ”
At this time, Qian San looked at the jade bottle in his hand, and was a little anxious to go to the business house to negotiate the transaction of Dingyan Dan, so he said: "Young Master, Qin Feng, since Dingyan Dan has been successfully refined, I will go to Baicaozhai and Huatian Pavilion to have a look, and talk about the pill to them as soon as possible." ”
Xiang Hao nodded and said, "You go, you can leave the affairs in the house to others in the next few days, and just negotiate this matter." ”
Qian San agreed, carefully put the jade bottle into his storage bag, and then hurriedly walked out of Duanwang's mansion.
