Chapter 92: Keeping Promises
"Suzune is a genius, a rare genius, and I don't want to waste such a piece of jade. ”
Lina's eyes, which seemed to hide the blue ocean, stared at Xu Lingyin carefully, as if staring at a treasure.
Talented?
Xu Pingzhi and his nephew glanced at each other and shook their heads: "My girl has no talent, and her muscles and bones are not tough, so she has a lot of strength." ”
At the beginning, Xu Qi'an practiced martial arts and Xu Xin'an studied in the New Year, which was a decision made by Xu Pingzhi. Because Xu Xinnian has no talent for martial arts, but he is very smart. And Xu Qi'an is just the opposite.
After Xu Lingyin was born, Xu Pingzhi also touched his bones, and after years of observation, he was extremely sure that his young daughter was not only stupid, but also not good at bones.
At least at the level of the Refining Realm, she was very sad.
Xu Qi'an also shook his head, his current vision is more vicious than that of Second Uncle Xu, if Xu Lingyin is a genius in martial arts, Xu Qi'an has already begun to cultivate Dafeng's flower bones.
As for reading, Xu Xinnian gave up when his younger sister was four years old, and his evaluation was: his eyes are scattered, he can't concentrate, and he reads a book with a hammer.
Xu Lingyin really didn't disappoint the second brother, every gentleman who taught her would be angry and doubt his life.
If you have to say that Xiaodouding has any talent, probably ......... Eat?
Regarding Second Uncle Xu's words, Lina retorted: "But she can eat it." ”
Are you entertaining us......... The family squinted at the little black skin in southern Xinjiang.
Seeing the strange eyes of everyone, Lina was surprised: "Didn't you find out that she was a genius?"
When Xu Xinnian and the others heard this, they turned their heads to look at Xu Lingyin, who was peeling eggs, she knocked one end of the egg on the tabletop, and then held the egg with her small palm, rubbed it on the table, and the egg shell fell off as soon as she touched it.
The whole process is smooth.
At her age, she is indeed a genius........ The family couldn't help but want to cover their faces.
Xu Qi'an coughed and tactfully reminded Lina not to joke: "Eating may be a talent, but not so proud that she wants to accept apprentices, what can you teach her?"
"How do you peel off an eggshell in three breaths? How do you get an extra bowl of rice every day?"
Lina's wheat-colored and healthy complexion turned red, and she waved her hand to justify: "I'm not going to teach her to eat, I'm going to teach her Gu techniques." ”
Xu Pingzhi's face changed, and he waited for Xu Lingyin like a copper bell: "Are you catching insects and eating them?"
Xu Lingyin showed a look of yearning and said tentatively: "Can insects eat them?" ”
"You can't eat, you can't eat. Xu Xinnian and Second Uncle Xu waved their hands neatly.
When I heard that you were going to teach her Gu techniques, my first reaction turned out to be: Xiao Douding ate bugs?!
Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, and asked thoughtfully, "You mean, she is a genius in Gu cultivation." ”
Lina nodded, then corrected, "To be precise, it's the genius of the Cultivation Gu. Ling Yin has strong bones and strong blood, which is a genius that we can't meet for decades in our force Gu department.
"Don't you think it's strange that a little child should eat so much. ”
Isn't it because she's gluttonous........ Everyone in the Xu family thought to themselves, and then they had a little understanding, according to Xu Lingyin's way of eating, they were replaced by other children, and they had already died, but she was alive.
Lina suppressed the desire to eat and said, "The cultivation method of our Force Gu Department is to choose a Force Gu to swallow when we are young and let it stay in our body.
"In the first few years, the force Gu will absorb the host's essence blood and energy, if the child is not in good health, it will become very weak, and because the force Gu and the host are one and the same, it will not squeeze the host dry, but will only weaken with him.
"This creates a congenital deficiency. ”
She said, looking at Xu Lingyin with burning eyes, "But she won't, she will provide an excellent breeding ground for Li Gu and lay a solid foundation at a young age." Moreover, Suzune's bones are strong and strong, even if she doesn't cultivate her mind, her strength is far better than that of her peers, and once she is well cultivated, she will soar to the sky. ”
The family looked at each other.
The aunt pondered for a while, and then tentatively asked, "Then will she become as good as you?"
Lina waved her hand: "No, no, no." ”
As soon as the aunt breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the little black skin say modestly: "She will become more edible than me." ”
“........”
The aunt didn't think about it, and vetoed: "I don't agree, what about you, master?"
Xu Pingzhi looked at his son and nephew and asked for advice: "What do you two think?" ”
Xu Qi'an commented: "Anyway, there is no interest in reading, and practicing martial arts is not that material, so it is better to try it." ”
The "bang" of the aunt's table sounded, and she felt offended, and her breath trembled coldly: "Xu Ningyan, how did you speak, isn't Lingyin your sister." ”
It seems that there is no need for the future, and today I can remember the old hatred, and the mother-son relationship between the aunt and nephew is over.
Xu Lingyue whispered: "Mother, what the eldest brother said is right. ”
The angry aunt was caught off guard and was stabbed in the back by her daughter.
Xu Xinnian said: "It's okay to accept apprentices, but there is something I want to ask you, when will you become a teacher if you practice Gu?"
Lina didn't think about it, and said: "The short is five years, the long is twenty years, depending on personal talent." ”
Xu Xinnian nodded, glanced at Lingyin, and said, "Can Miss Lina stay in the capital for five years, or twenty years?"
Lina's mouth moved faster than her brain: "As long as you give me food, I can stay forever." ”
"No way!"
Everyone in the Xu family spoke in unison.
"........" Xiao Heipi looked aggrieved, isn't it just to eat a few mouthfuls of rice from your family, it's stingy.
In the end, Xu Pingzhi, the head of the family, made a decision and said, "There is Lao Lina to teach the little girl." ”
Xu Xinnian and Xu Qi'an looked at each other in confusion, could it be that they really want Lina to live in the capital for five or even twenty years?
That's too expensive.
In this regard, Xu Pingzhi said with a smile: "Lingyin is just a girl, and she doesn't strive to be the number one master in the world." If you can learn a little bit, even if you can't be a teacher, it doesn't matter.
"You two, your heart is too high, and you have to fight for the head in everything. ”
Xu Xinnian and Xu Qi'an had nothing to say, and felt that what the second uncle (father) said made sense.
Lina touched Xu Lingyin's head, "If you go back to southern Xinjiang with me, my father will definitely accept you as a personal disciple." Ten years at most, you can lift a mountain. ”
The corresponding picture came to Xu Qi'an's mind, ten years later, Xu Lingyin, who grew up, carried a big mountain, and every step caused an earthquake-like effect, and said happily:
Cauldron, I'm back, I'll send you a mountain, pick it up!
The Xu family has a woman who has just grown up, and she is trying to pull out the mountains and cover the world......... Xu Qi'an shuddered.
............
On the eve of dawn, the sky was dark.
An orange cat walked gracefully through the empty and silent streets and came to the gate of the Sun Mansion.
It lightly jumped on the ridge of a house facing the street, looked around, and then jumped off the ridge and quickly rushed to the gate of the Sun Mansion.
Then, the orange cat's throat rolls, highlighting a circular outline, slowly squeezing out the throat.
It was a small jade mirror, and after it was spit out, it did not fall to the ground, but was suspended in the air, and the mirror flashed brightly, shaking out an unconscious son.
The orange cat opened its mouth, took the jade mirror back into its abdomen, cocked its tail, and quickly left.
After another quarter of an hour, the yawning old porter opened the door and saw the young man lying on the ground, he was startled, and after seeing the appearance of the young man, he ran into the house excitedly.
In the morning, several servants came in a hurry and carried the prince in fancy clothes into the mansion.
Sun Shangshu rushed to hear the news and saw his son lying unconscious in Jinlu, and his heart was instantly lifted.
"Master, young master, he was just unconscious, and he was not seriously injured. The old butler, who was standing by the bed, said.
"What do you mean by not being too seriously injured?" Sun Shangshu raised his eyebrows.
"Young Master....... was whipped dozens of times, and the skin was opened, but fortunately, it was all skin trauma, and there was no major problem after applying the medicine. The old butler bowed his head.
"Bastard!
Sun Shangshu's face was pale, distressed and angry, but then, as if he thought of something, the boiling anger suddenly dissipated.
After a moment of silence, Sun Shangshu sighed: "It's good to come back." ”
............
Haoqi Building, Tea Room.
"King Yu has long had no intention of competing for fame and fortune, so he can repay my favor, if he is still the original King of Yu, I'm afraid he won't easily agree to me. As for Cao Guogong, he joined forces with the lieutenant general of the king of Zhenbei to plot my King Kong to be undefeated.
"I remember that Duke Wei said that the battle between the court and the court is a battle of interests, and we must learn to compromise. So I agreed to his request. ”
Xu Qi'an held the tea, sat in the well-lit tea room, turned his head, and looked at Wei Yuan on the lookout, basking in the sun and looking at the scenery.
"Yes, you have understanding, but unfortunately your temper is difficult to change, and it is not suitable for the court. Wei Yuan bowed.
"The main thing is that Wei Gongjiao is good. Xu Qi'an said modestly.
Wei Yuan smiled, pressed his hands on the guardrail, looked at the scenery of spring and sunshine, and after a long time, asked:
"You are running around in the imperial examination fraud case, and you haven't even been treated much by the yamen, so it's hard work. ”
"But I also learned a lot. Xu Qi'an responded and took a sip of tea.
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Comprehend my main point." ”
Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, and had a bad premonition: "Hard?"
Wei Yuan shook his head, didn't turn around, and said in a gentle tone: "I didn't stay in the yamen much." ”
“........”
Wei Yuan took the opportunity to say: "So, this month's monthly salary is gone." ”
Xu Qi'an's eyes were glazed, he looked at Wei Qingyi's back blankly, and cried with a sad face: "Duke Wei, my Yulu this month is long gone." ”
"Really?" Wei Yuan was stunned and nodded slowly: "Then next month's will be gone." ”
“???”
Am I upsetting him somewhere......... The smart Xu Bai prostitute did not dwell on this topic, never competed with the leader, and would only be bored with herself.
"Duke Wei, why did the deputy general of the king of Zhenbei return to Beijing?"
"The situation in the north is tense, and there is a shortage of food, and they come back to ask for silver. Wei Yuan said.
"What kind of person is King Zhenbei. ”
"Domineering people. ”
Domineering people are often unreasonable, and because of their status as princes, they can ignore the rules to a certain extent......... Xu Qi judged in his heart.
Bidding farewell to Wei Yuan, he rode on the little mare, and ran to the Huai Wang's Mansion with a heavy cloth bag in the saddle for a long time.
Now, he wants to fulfill his promise and go to the deputy general of Zhenbei Wang.
"It's very strange, Chu Xianglong asked me to go to Zhenbei Wangfu to find him after the matter is over, which shows that during the time he returned to Beijing, he did not live in his own house, but in Zhenbei Wangfu.
"At least, most of the time is to stay in the Zhenbei Palace. And the king of Zhenbei is at the border, and there is only one princess with the first beauty in the house......."
From the perspective of the king of Zhenbei, it is definitely impossible to let his younger brother and the widowed concubine live under the same roof.
But Chu Xianglong did this, and he did it in a grand and undisguised manner, which means that Chu Xianglong was instructed by the king of Zhenbei.
Why did King Zhenbei do this?
His trust in the lieutenant general is much higher than that of the princess.........
..............
Huai Wang's Mansion, outer hall.
A woman with a light gauze mask and a gorgeous palace skirt sits on the table and fiddles with the tea set.
In the hall, Chu Xianglong, who was covered in armor and had a saber on his waist, stood tall, stared at the princess with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"I heard from the palace guards that the princess disappeared twice for no reason?"
The woman with a light gauze mask turned a deaf ear, bowed her head and fiddled with the tea set, her movements were gentle and her posture was elegant.
"How did the princess hide it from the palace guards? How did she hide it from the warlock Si Tianjian? Who have you met recently, and what happened to you?"
"Noise!"
The lightly veiled woman frowned slightly, and her voice was cold, "Are you questioning me?"
"Don't dare!"
Chu Xianglong lowered his head and said lightly: "This trip back to Beijing, in addition to asking His Majesty for military salaries, and then taking the princess to the north and meeting the prince, you should prepare early." ”
After a pause, he raised his head, stared at the woman's smart and beautiful eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I will stay in the palace during this time, and if the princess wants to go out, she will accompany her throughout the whole process." ”
The masked woman was silent.
At this time, a guard walked into the hall, hugged his fists and said, "General Chu, Yingong Xu Qi'an asks to see." ”
Chu Xianglong bowed his head, glanced at the princess, clasped his fists, and exited the hall.
Xu Qi'an, what is he doing in the palace.......... The masked woman lowered her head, her eyes rolled, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
