Chapter 20: The Youth Martial Arts
"Miss, this, you see Uncle he is talking nonsense again. Chun Tao looked at Shen Xiaoqing anxiously.
Shen Xiaoqing smiled helplessly, and then said to Ye Fei righteously: "Chun Tao grew up with me since she was a child, and she is like a sister to me, you can choose the maids in the house, but she can't." ”
"I've looked at the maids in the house, and the spring peach is still a little beautiful. Although you and Chun Tao are like sisters, after all, there is still a difference between respect and inferiority, is it possible that you want Chun Tao to serve you by your side for the rest of your life? In my opinion, it is better to be a maid for me first, and wait until I return to Yefu as a concubine in the future. ”
"Uncle, didn't you say yesterday that you would be the lady of the main house?" Chun Tao glared angrily.
"But you didn't agree yesterday! If you don't agree today, you won't even be able to be a concubine tomorrow, at most you will be a housekeeper, and then you will be in charge of the room. ”
Chun Tao snorted, then grabbed Shen Xiaoqing's arm and said, "I'd better follow Miss." ”
Shen Xiaoqing shook his head helplessly, he originally sent Chun Tao to spy on Ye Fei, but now it seems that Chun Tao is about to become Ye Fei's person.
However, in her opinion, if Chun Tao follows Ye Fei in the future, it may not be a good fate for Chun Tao.
Although Ye Fei is difficult to explain, at least he treats the people around him well, like Qiu Sang and Chun Tao following him, he never treats them as subordinates, more like family.
Chun Tao told her that on the day Qiu Sang left, Ye Fei secretly stuffed almost all the silver tickets into Qiu Sang's bag, and he only kept some silver for himself.
In front of Liu's mansion, before the carriage stopped, Liu Zhennan, the head of the Liu family, took his son Liu Xi to the car and personally welcomed Shen Xiaoqing off the car.
"Uncle!" Shen Xiaoqing gave Liu Zhennan a salute.
"Xiao Qing girl, you are finally here, how is your father lately?" Liu Zhennan looked at Shen Xiaoqing with a smile and said, without even glancing at Ye Fei. And Liu Xi, who was standing behind him, looked at Shen Xiaoqing stupidly, and he was fascinated.
Entering Liu's Mansion and coming to the hall, the hall was already full of friends. Seeing Shen Xiaoqing walk in, everyone got up to salute, but Ye Fei was blocked outside the door, and he had nothing to do but scratch his head.
Liu Xi only ordered someone to bring a chair, and only planned to sit on Shen Xiaoqing alone.
"Miss Shen, no, look, I almost forgot that you were married, Mrs. Shen, please take a seat. Liu Xi said.
Shen Xiaoqing frowned, did not sit down, but looked at Ye Fei and said, "Xianggong, sit down." ”
Hearing Shen Xiaoqing shouting that he was a father-in-law, Ye Fei was dumbfounded, it was too sudden.
After relieving himself, he smiled and said, "Lady, sit down, this master's family is poor and can't afford to buy a few chairs, which is understandable." Or after going back, the lady will go and talk to her father-in-law and ask someone to send some chairs. The two Shen and Liu families are world friends, and now that the Liu family is down, our Shen family can't sit idly by. ”
After Ye Fei finished speaking, Liu Xi's face became embarrassed, and at this time, Liu Zhennan came over and apologized: "The hospitality is not good, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Then he immediately called someone and moved another chair over.
After sitting down, Shen Xiaoqing pulled Ye Fei's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "You and I are guests after all, so we will give the host some face." ”
"It's all up to the lady! You can't let the lady shout in vain. ”
Shen Xiaoqing leaned back slightly, and couldn't help blushing.
Afterwards, Ye Fei looked at all the people in the hall and found that except for one or two young people who still had some strength, the others were all general, and they couldn't see the possibility of coming out, so they instantly lost interest in the Qingwu Society.
In addition, he also saw that many people looked at him with hatred in their eyes, as if they had a grudge against him, thinking that it should be the family members of the sons who were killed by him a while ago.
Of course, more people looked at him with contempt and contempt.
After a while, Liu Zhennan led two teenagers in, one was dressed as a scholar, and the other was holding a sword, compared with the other people present, these two teenagers obviously had much deeper internal strength, but they could arouse Ye Fei's interest.
"This is Zhong Shuqian from Xiaoxiang Academy, and this is Xu Buheng from the Hengshan faction!" Liu Zhennan introduced the two teenagers to the two.
"Wow!" the crowd let out an exclamation, and then they all stood up and saluted, "Look up and look up!"
"Lady, are these two famous?"
"One is the son of the dean of Xiaoxiang Academy, known as the white-faced scholar, and the other is the closed disciple of Bai Ke, the first swordsman of the Hengshan faction. Shen Xiaoqing said in his ear, "You can't even hear of these two?"
Ye Fei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I am a rural villager, and the news is closed, so I have never heard of any things about the rivers and lakes." ”
For the name Baike, Ye Fei was deeply impressed. At that time, Hengshan sent more than 20 people to surround and suppress him, and later he killed him, but Bai Ke survived. At that time, Bai Ke kowtowed to him and begged for mercy, but he disdained to kill Bai Ke and dirty his sword, so he did not kill him.
He really didn't expect that now that Bai Kedu has become the first sword faction of the Hengshan faction, it seems that the Hengshan faction is really no one.
Then, Liu Zhennan led Zhong Shuqian and Xu Buheng to Shen Xiaoqing, and said with a smile: "Two, this is Shen Xiaoqing of the Shen family." ”
"I have admired Miss Shen's name for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today. Xu Buheng said.
"Hmm!" Zhong Shuqian of Xiaoxiang Academy just gave his hand, his face was quite unhappy.
Half a year ago, his senior brother Xiao Yihe rushed from Xiangdong to Shaoxing to participate in the Shen family's martial arts competition to recruit relatives, but was finally robbed by a descendant of the Ye family who appeared out of nowhere, so that he closed his door for three months after returning to the academy, and now he finally got out of this matter.
Thinking about what kind of scenery Xiao Yi is, a rising star who has high hopes from the rivers and lakes and the court, he was admitted to the Jinshi a year ago and did not enter the ranks for the time being, and was named by the military department to directly participate in the final examination of next year's martial arts, which can be described as the limelight.
Unexpectedly, he was frustrated in the Shen family's martial arts competition, and he almost broke his mind.
Therefore, seeing Shen Xiaoqing and Ye Fei, Zhong Shuqian, who is Xiao Yihe's junior brother, is naturally angry.
After everyone came, Liu Zhendong, as the host, said: "Today is the annual event of my Shaoxing Martial Arts, and I am honored to invite all the young masters and ladies to the house for a gathering. ”
Everyone clenched their fists.
"In addition, I am fortunate to invite Zhong Shuqian, a white-faced scholar from Xiaoxiang Academy, and Xu Buheng, a closed disciple of the Baike Sect Master of the Hengshan School, to ask you two to say a few words first. ”
Xu Buheng got up with a smile and said, "Originally, the master sent me to Jiangnan to visit Luo Xuanyi, the head of Wudang, and wanted to invite Luo Xuanyi, the head of Wudang, to Hengshan for a talk. I didn't expect to pass by Shaoxing today, just in time for the Youth Martial Arts Association in Shaoxing City, and I was kindly invited by Senior Liu, and I was fortunate to have a good meeting. ”
After Xu Buheng finished speaking, Zhong Shuqian then got up and said: "In two months, it will be the Jiangnan Famous Men Conference, and I am invited by the head of the Huajian faction to visit Jiangnan to compile a list of major famous families in Jiangnan. ”
"I see," Liu Zhennan said with a smile, "It just so happens that the children of my Shaoxing martial arts family are here today, Zhong Shaoxia has anything he wants to know or wants to know, just ask directly." ”
Zhong Shuqian nodded, then looked at Ye Fei and asked, "I want to ask this descendant of the Ye family, now that you have joined the Shen family, should you be included in the roster of the Ye family?"
Seeing Zhong Shuqian making things difficult for Ye Fei, many people present were secretly happy in their hearts.
Shen Xiaoqing frowned, he had already expected that Zhong Shuqian would deliberately make things difficult for Ye Fei. Now that she and Ye Fei are husband and wife, making things difficult for Ye Fei is also making things difficult for their Shen family.
She was about to get up to respond, but Ye Fei pulled her sleeve.
"My Golden Knife Ye family has already existed in name only, so naturally it shouldn't be included, but now there is still a place for my Ye family among the four great families, if it is not included, it is not suitable. You shouldn't ask me this question, you should go home and ask Ling Zun, Xiaoxiang Academy holds the imperial court's Yulu, and always considers itself a martial arts person; ”
After Ye Fei finished speaking, Zhong Shuqian was furious.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Zhendong immediately got up and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiang Academy not only provides talents for the imperial court, but also cultivates future generations for the rivers and lakes, which is very rare; ”
"That's reasonable!" Xu Buheng agreed, and then asked, "Forgive Xu for interrupting, I don't know if you have any traces of Wudang Luo's master, I went to Hangzhou to inquire a few days ago, and someone saw his apprentice Lin Dong first carrying him on the boat to Shaoxing." ”
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Shen Xiaoqing looked at Ye Fei and saw that Ye Fei had no intention of saying anything, so he didn't make a sound.
"I heard that Master Luo has been looking for Sword Saint Xingzi and wants to compete with him. He came to Shaoxing, could it be that the Sword Saint is also in Shaoxing?"
"Isn't that Sword Saint senior on the Heavenly Dragon Snow Mountain?"
"My master sent people to the Snow Mountain a few years ago, and there is no trace of the Sword Saint's predecessors. Xu Buheng said, "This year is the one hundred and twenty years since I founded the Hengshan School, and my master wants to invite the Sword Saint and the head of Wudang to Hengshan to discuss swords, and reproduce the peak of the sword path of the year." ”
Ye Fei smiled, thinking to himself what kind of thing your master is, he just wants to use the name of Sword Saint and Master Luo to put gold on his face, it is really stinky and shameless.
"I can't hide it," Shen Xiaoqing said at this time, "Not long ago, that Sword Saint senior came to my Shen Mansion as a guest. ”
As soon as she said this, everyone present was shocked.
"Shen Niangzi, are you telling the truth? Is it really the Sword Saint predecessor who opened the mountain with that sword, not a charlatan? There are countless people who pretend to be Sword Saint seniors, but none of them are true. ”
"My father had seen the true face of the Sword Saint predecessors in the monk's academy in his early years, so naturally he would not be wrong. Shen Xiao Qingdao.
"What Shen Niangzi said, how can it be fake?" Liu Zhennan said, "When the Sword Saint fought against the three great gods and monks in the monk's courtyard, I was also present, and it was with Lord Shen Zhuang at that time. ”
Xu Buheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and walked in front of Shen Xiaoqing, and said, "Miss Shen, then do you know the whereabouts of the Sword Saint's predecessors?"
"Some time ago, the predecessors of the Sword Saint had been fishing on Tiangong Mountain, and after visiting my house that day, they left Shaoxing with my father-in-law's maid. Shen Xiao Qingdao.
Xu Buheng looked at Ye Fei and wondered, "What is he doing with a maid?"
He took the maid as a closed disciple. ”
