"This old butler is a master. ”

"Can you still tell this?" Liu Chen sat on the embroidery stool unscrupulously and devoured it, he had praised the cook of the Guogong Mansion a thousand times in his heart, listening to Beigong Fu's cold sigh, he raised his head with some curiosity, looked at Beigong Fu's chewing and slow-swallowing appearance and smiled: "Of course the thirteenth uncle is a master, or the number one master of the Guogong Mansion today!"

"How?"

"I once heard Ruyan say, this thirteenth uncle, when he was a child, he was my second grandfather's scholar, different from my grandfather's obsession with martial arts, our second master Liu likes to read as much as you do, during the martial arts period, the second grandfather's articles and poems are the best in the world, in order to cater to the preferences of the second grandfather, other scholars are desperate to read every day, and they want to get the favor of the second grandfather with that splendid chapter, and they have soared to the sky. ”

"But this thirteenth uncle likes to do the opposite, when people are studying, he hides in the sword platform to learn martial arts, and he actually knows the peak of martial arts while practicing, and it didn't take long for the thirteenth uncle to do a big thing. Liu Chen glanced out of the house a few times, then moved the chair to Beigong Fu's side and said in a low voice: "On a dark and windy night of a month, the thirteenth uncle secretly entered the study building of the Sword Pavilion, quietly printed the Qi refining heart method, and was about to apply oil on the soles of his feet, but he was caught by the guards of the study building without thinking about it!"

"This is miserable, according to the rules of the sect, this is a capital crime, fortunately, at that time, my great-grandfather was in retreat, and my grandfather was wandering outside, and the second grandfather in charge was soft-hearted, and he was eager to read the thirteenth uncle's martial arts, so he pushed the boat down the river at that time, and after a little scolding, he was sent to the sword peak to practice. ”

"Next, you probably know, the second grandfather became the prince of the country, and the thirteenth uncle who had practiced for many years also went down the mountain and became the housekeeper of the second grandfather, and he was protecting the second grandfather on weekdays, and then later, my father set up the Wind and Thunder Iron Horse, and the thirteenth uncle's mind was active again, and the second grandfather laughed and scolded him for a few words, and then let him go with my father。 ”

"I see, this old housekeeper is really interesting, but even if your second grandfather is kind, put it in another house, this old housekeeper doesn't know how many times he has been reincarnated. Beigong Fu chuckled and put down the chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed by Liu Chen, wiped his lips clean, and looked at Beigong Fu's familiar movements, Liu Chen's heart was hot, and secretly said that this little fat man still has such an elegant side.

"Isn't it? After receiving Beigong Fu's words, Liu Chen hiccuped and smiled: "I remember when I was a child, every time I went to see my second grandfather, his old mantra was 'I can't help it, I can't help it!' is the same as the Jingyi master in the academy, and he has to sigh when he sees someone killing chickens or something on weekdays, and I heard the uncle say that the second grandfather has never eaten meat in his life, a good person." ”

"Yes, Old Man Liu's nobility, I have heard of it in Qizhou. ”

After eating a meal until dark, Liu Chen chatted with Beigong Fu until dark, seeing the moontop trees, Liu Chen called the little maid to take Beigong Fu to the cleaned room, he returned to the house where he lived last time, took a hot bath, and went to bed, Na Yuandan threw it in his mouth, and Liu Chen began to practice by himself.

Back to Chang'an these days, Liu Chen has never been out of the gate of the Guogong Mansion, every day during the day and Beigong Fu to talk, at night he will die to practice, the Lu Ming banquet is in front of him, not to the great perfection of Qi refining, he is not down-to-earth in his heart, when the time comes, the students under the four disciplines of the academy of literature, martial arts and Taoism will go to the ring, Liu Chen's eight grades of refining qi are really not enough to see, do not fight a battle that is not sure, said that if you want to take the leader, then you must be the leader!

When the first snow fell in Chang'an in the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, facing the silver dress of the city, Liu Chen sat on the bed and slowly opened his eyes, and the more majestic vitality had merged into his bone marrow, constantly nourishing every bone in his body, and the full vitality filled his sea of qi, leaving no gaps.

The snowflakes flying in the sky dyed the entire Chang'an City into a piece of white, and the elegant crystal light gently fell on Liu Chen's shoulders with the breeze blowing from time to time, and finally, turned into a small pool of water stains, and saw the violent storm and snow in the north, and this scene fell in Liu Chen's eyes, and it seemed so soft everywhere.

After practicing the daily morning class in the snow, Liu Chen gasped and withdrew the Qiushui Sword in his hand, which was also as dark as ink, when the camouflage of the Qiushui Sword was erased by Liu Chen in front of the Great Compassion Temple Mountain, everyone could no longer ignore its brilliance, in the backyard of the snow-capped Guogong Mansion, the ghostly light of the Qiushui Sword stained the eyes of countless people.

In the corridor of the gallery in the distance, Liu 13 was wearing a small leather jacket, his hands were wrapped in his sleeves, and he was walking towards Liu Chen in a hurry.

Seeing Liu Chen, who was still naked, Liu Shisan hurriedly took out a piece of wool from the back room and draped it on his body and said: "It's cold in Zhongzhou, it's not as warm as the Qinhuai River, young master, don't freeze your body." ”

"Thirteen uncles!" Liu Chen couldn't stand the old butler's nagging, so he had to wrap his hair tightly and turned around to him and smiled bitterly: "We are cultivators, how can we freeze our bodies!"

"It's always right to pay attention, if you sweat like this and get cold, you are most likely to hurt your bones. Liu Shisan said a few words of consolation, and when he saw Liu Chen nodding yes, the old housekeeper's face was instantly filled with a smile of relief.

Guiding Liu Chen into the house, Liu Shisan fiddled with the stove a few more times, and only when Liu Chen sat down did he raise his head and smile: "Young master, the General's Mansion has almost been repaired, but the waterway that connects the pond to the Wei River will take a few days to dredge it, and in general, it can already be inhabited!"

"So fast?" Liu Chen raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said with a happy face: "Thank you to Uncle Thirteen, after the Luming banquet, I will move in with Beigong." ”

"Huh?" Seeing that Liu Thirteen looked a little speechless and stopped, Liu Chen made him a cup of hot tea and said, "Uncle Thirteen has something to say." ”

Frowning and thinking for a long time, facing Liu Chen's inquiring gaze, Liu Shisan sighed bitterly and said: "That's the case, the rebuilding of the General's Mansion has attracted the attention of many people, in the past few days, there are also Langya Wei and the spies of the Inquisition who ran into the garden, fortunately, the sons and daughters were clever and sent them away, but this morning there was a letter from the Yueguo Mansion, asking what we are doing, and we can ignore the others, but this Yueguo Mansion, young master, how do you think we should reply?"

"Yue Guo Mansion?" Liu Chen stood up straight, frowning and pacing back and forth in the house, the red copper refined stove was burning vigorously at the moment, making him feel a burst of heat, and relieved his hair, Liu Chen replied softly while wearing a light shirt: "Uncle Thirteen directly told the head of their family, let her tell her mother, just say that I want to live in the General's Mansion, by the way, find the Yue Guo Mansion to borrow a few more carpenters, I want to build a few big bookshelves for Beigong!"

"Borrow a carpenter?"

"That's right!" Liu Chen turned around and walked to Liu Shisan's side, and said with a helpless look: "After all, it's not my biological mother, I have to know Yuezhou's attitude for such a big thing!" )
