Chapter 30 (11)
Cheng Jiaxuan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him cautiously. Ever since she saw him in Hetuala, who was still named Cheng Jiahua, she felt a sense of intimacy in her heart. However, she often had a good impression of the handsome young men she had seen, so she didn't pay much attention to them.
It's just that Cheng Jiahua was extremely tired of her at that time, and often spoke ill of her. Now that he has changed his name and identity, he seems to be more serious than usual, but he doesn't know if his attitude can get better. Whether he is the second master of Qingtianzhai or the little prince of the Qing Dynasty, she is bent on making friends. But he didn't dare to speak rashly, lest he bring humiliation on himself again.
Xuan Shuang grinned, sat up from the bed with great interest, propped her elbows on her knees, supported her chin with her fists, looked at him carefully as if she were observing goods, and said, "Little prince, I know you." Since you are Prince Fu's newly adopted son, that is, the young man who tried out his boxing skills at the birthday banquet a few days ago, right?
Shangguan Yaohua said: "Xiao Wang's clumsy skills have stained Lord Baylor's eyes. It's hard for you not to dislike the tricks of the fist embroidered legs, and you are willing to appreciate a little thin noodles, Xiao Wang is grateful. If you talk about martial arts, it is really bad and not worth it. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan has been trying his best to control it, and wants to say something very insightful to win his favor. At this time, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and asked, "What...... How did the little prince perform his fist technique at the banquet? Why don't I know?"
Xuan Shuang kindly explained: "At that time, you went back to the Snow Palace to get a birthday gift, and you left halfway, and it was at that time. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan felt deeply sorry, and stomped his feet and said: "Oh, that's a pity! I can't leave a little later? Hey, I also want to see you box." As he spoke, his eyes flashed, and he pretended to look at Shangguan Yaohua pitifully.
Shangguan Yaohua's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "If Miss Cheng hadn't seen her ugly appearance at that time, maybe her impression of Xiao Wang in the future would be a little better." ”
Cheng Jiaxuan was overjoyed to see that he was willing to take care of himself, and hurriedly said: "No, no, as long as you punch, it must be very good-looking! Where did you learn it?"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "Miss Cheng made fun of it. It was Xiao Wang's set of ancestral boxing techniques, which were taught by his father. Before he could finish his studies, he had already left the West, which is particularly regrettable. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan only thought about complimenting him, and said, "Then you are also amazing! My family seems to have a set of boxing techniques, but I don't even know one." Look, am I useless?" and then scolded in his heart, why haven't people said anything, but they have to be busy admitting that it is useless? Is it really an addiction to being scolded?
Shangguan Yaohua said: "There is no need to be presumptuous, you are still young this year, and your prospects are very impressive." However, it must be persistent, and it may not be left behind for a long time. It's just that my set of boxing techniques has no effect of defending against the enemy, so I can only use it to remember my father and make an empty thought. ”
Xuan Shuang said: "It sounds miserable. I haven't asked yet, what did you do at home before you thought the prince was your father-in-law? How could you be alone and outcast? Of course, I just asked casually. If you have something unspeakable, you don't have to worry about me. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said: "That's nothing to avoid. It is common to say that in the old days, it was a small business, but in the troubled times, the business was not smooth, the income was low, and the family could not make ends meet for many years, and the habitat was poor. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, King Li Chuang invaded the Beijing Division, and not long after, Wu Sangui rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and entered the Manchu Qing Dynasty. My family is also like tens of millions of businessmen, with no return for all their money, and the family is in the middle. The father was persecuted by several creditors, and finally committed suicide by hanging himself in order not to affect his wife and children. As soon as the pillars collapsed, the creditors still came to the door to force debts, and the whole family walked away and scattered. I was also in exile at this time, wandering for many years, and only recently did I take the opportunity to offer a treasure sword, and was taken care of by Prince Fu and accepted as a righteous son. But as far as Xiao Wang is concerned, my father and Prince Fu are the two fathers I respect the most. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan said: "It's really pitiful, you are also very filial." This sentence is purely to cope, and anyone can hear it in the tone, and there is no sincerity at all. Then he moved out of the topic and said with a smile: "Little prince, you are willing to be so kind to me, have you forgiven me...... Are you not mad at me? Can we be friends from now on?"
Shangguan Yaohua didn't look at her seriously, his voice was as cold as ever, and said, "Xiao Wang and Miss Cheng have never known each other in their lives, so how can they talk about forgiveness or not?"
Cheng Jiaxuan said cautiously: "A few days ago, I was in the secret tomb of Prince Zhuang, I was ignorant and made you unhappy, I apologize to you again, okay?" Shangguan Yaohua said: "Xiao Wang has never been to Hetuala. You must have recognized the wrong person. Cheng Jiaxuan was stunned, but thought that since he didn't admit it, why should he force it up, and he would have to be strong again later, so he didn't argue anymore. Just said to himself: "Like...... Really...... It's too much of a resemblance. ”
Xuanshuang played with the futon, laughed secretly, and said, "Shangguan...... Cheng Xiao Wangye, let me ask you a question, just when I can't figure it out, can I succeed? This is not difficult at all, it is as difficult as the sky for me, in your opinion, even a three-year-old child can answer it. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said: "Lord Belle is too elevated, even if you and I know the difference between cloud and mud, it should be that Lord Belle is in the sky and Xiao Wang is on the ground." Xiao Wang's knowledge is shallow, and he may not be able to solve his doubts to Lord Belle, but whatever is within my power, I must know everything and never be bullied. ”
Xuan Shuang smiled: "You're welcome, you're welcome, it's not a big problem in learning, it's just a curious question, I don't know if the little prince is Guigeng this year?"
Shangguan Yaohua was slightly stunned, and immediately suspected that he was deliberately teasing himself. But after all, it was not a big deal, and replied: "Xiao Wang has not been born for a long time, and it is difficult to count." But as far as I can guess, it's about twenty or one. Xuan Shuang said: "Well, that's it, you're only nineteen years old, not ninety-one years old, how can you always talk old-fashioned, like an old-fashioned old pedant? ”
Shangguan Yaohua said: "Lord Belle has praised it. It would be a rare blessing for me to live to be in my 90s. Xuan Shuang said: "You are a chic person, you are in a relaxed mood, and you can live a long life." That's why I said, let's call our names when we speak, and we don't need to shout back and forth with our official positions, and we can get closer to each other. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said: "There is a difference between the upper and lower levels and the inferiority. Xiao Wang must not mess up the order, and must not exceed the rules. ”
Xuan Shuang said: "Life is in the world, it's good to have fun, how can there be so much to do?" Hey, come here, I'll teach you ......" smiled secretly, beckoned to him, and hooked his fingers.
Shangguan Yaohua leaned forward suspiciously, and Xuan Shuang also turned sideways, raised half of his eyebrows, and laughed in a low voice: "Didn't your stepfather just tell you to have more sets of similar sets with me? Why, you don't even listen to your father-in-law? Like you, you follow the rules so well, always retain the respect and humility of the master and servant, and when he comes to test the results, haven't we been estranged all the time?"
Shangguan Yaohua was really taken aback this time. But he had strong self-control, and his face was slightly moved, so he immediately froze as usual, and said: "Or maybe Lord Belle has misunderstood, my father-in-law just told Xiao Wang to serve you more......"
Xuan Shuang said: "Yes, I also heard this sentence! But you are such a dignified little prince, you have nothing to do, why did you come to serve me? By the way, didn't you say that everything is at my command? Then I don't like to listen to people call me Lord Belle, just like Xiao Xuan and them, call me Xuanshuang. Then how do I call you?" Shangguan Yaohua said: "Lord Baylor...... Whatever you want to call it, it's up to you. ”
Xuan Shuang said: "Hmm, I don't want to call you Uncle Shi? I know that this is the task assigned by your stepfather, and seeing that you are shy by nature, you may not be able to complete it as scheduled, so I will help you and take the initiative to play with you first. How, is it good enough?"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "Lord Baylor's reputation spreads far and wide...... Promise not to give up, Xiao Wang...... I...... Thank you very much. But to say that it is close, I am by no means qualified to be close to you. ”
Xuan Shuang said: "Hey, yes, that is, I look down on me, and think that I can't even be a friend and use the qualifications? Hey, but it's also true! What kind of character is Prince Fu, that is the great official of the first emperor, how stable the foundation is." I'm an ordinary prince, how can he use it to please me? It seems that I think too highly of myself and let you see jokes, which is really embarrassing, ashamed, ashamed. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said: "No, no, I can't speak." But my father-in-law, an old man, will never dare to lose respect for you. If I am expected to climb high, my father-in-law will naturally rejoice......"
Xuan Shuang smiled: "That's it, then what are you hesitating about? Since they are friends, they should be honest with each other and not hide anything." I'm still curious, what was your past life like?"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "I...... Haven't you been ...... of your childhood experience before? "He practiced hard for many days before he got used to the way of talking in the palace, and it was good to wear a mask full of rules in front of people. At this time, he suddenly didn't have to pull the shelf, and he was really uncomfortable for a while.
Xuan Shuang grinned and said, "I don't believe it." On my instinct, you're a man with a story, and a man with a lot of skills. told a lot of lies, his face did not change color, and his heart did not beat......" After stopping for a while, seeing Shangguan Yaohua's face becoming more and more gloomy, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, I believe it! I just saw that you were too nervous, so I made a joke." Look at your face is all green, haha, it's funny!"
Shangguan Yaohua's face returned to normal, and he asked again: "What about the slashing of life? I heard that martial arts figures, for this ancient treasure knife, have broken their heads on the rivers and lakes." If your martial arts are mediocre, how can you grab them?"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "One day I fainted, and when I woke up again, I saw that there was more of this knife in my hand. At that time, there were also some court officials who accompanied them, and the leading official was Lord Cao...... He was the one who told me his last name first, and I didn't know him...... He said, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." This ancient treasure should also be dedicated to the emperor in order to have a way out. If you can make the emperor happy, maybe there will be a reward. But if you keep it yourself, not only will you keep it for a short time, but you will be killed at any time. I thought that what he said was reasonable, and I followed him into the palace. Later, he was crowned the king and worshiped the prime minister, and this is the case, Lord Cao really didn't lie to me. ”
Xuan Shuang secretly praised in his heart and asked: "At that time, everyone was fighting for their lives, and the imitations were prepared, which was intended to confuse people's eyes. How can you know that this one must be genuine? If you use a fake knife to deceive the emperor, the crime will not be small. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said: "I'm not a martial arts person, but I heard the name of the sword, but I didn't see it, and I didn't think about it at the time." I only made a few attempts, and when I saw that this knife was as sharp as clay, I thought it was a treasure, so I thought of offering it to the emperor. Who knew that it was so coincidental, and he hit it by mistake and got his life. Or the emperor is blessed with great fortune, and the treasures are attached. ”
Xuan Shuang smiled: "Okay, it's really round for you! Shangguan Yaohua didn't know what he said, so he pulled the corners of his mouth at will, and didn't answer with a smile. Xuan Shuang said: "I'm naturally suspicious, don't mind." Finally, I would like to ask again, if you plan to dedicate it to the imperial court, you can give it to the emperor Ama directly, and it will be the same reward, maybe the bounty will be more. And why bother to turn around halfway through Prince Fu and Lord Cao? The credit was also divided equally among them. ”
