Chapter 13: Redemption

Qingluan giggled, floating on the river like a bell, the laughter gradually subsided, and then turned his head to look at Xu Xian and said: "Brother Xu, Qingluan is really your eldest brother, you, don't lie to me!" There was a tremor in his voice, even if the relationship between these people had made him believe in Xu Xian, but his closed heart wanted to open up to people again, and he was always afraid and doubtful.

Xu Xian stretched out his hand and touched her little head: "You are so stupid, I think it's a pity not to lie to you!"

Qingluan lowered his head and let him touch it, and said softly: "Then never let me find out!"

"Smack" Xu Xian patted her on the head, "How is it possible!" Qingluan was a little happy in his heart, and only said that he meant not to lie to himself.

But I didn't expect Xu Xian to say: "If I want to lie to you and let you find out, then I'm too useless." ”

Qingluan turned his face and glared at him angrily, Xu Xianyou hurriedly touched the place where he was shooting: "Good." ”

Qingluan couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head a few times and shook his hand away, and listened intently: "Disperse early tonight, I'll go back first, Brother Xu, I'll tell you about me tomorrow." ”

Xu Xian smiled and said, "Let's go!"

Qingluan returned to the room, and Caifeng smiled: "I'm going to see your lover brother again." ”

Qingluan walked over to help Caifeng take off the hairpin, "Miss, you're talking nonsense again." ”

Caifeng smiled at the mirror: "I don't know which Brother Xu is, Brother Xu's shouting keeps stopping." ”

"Ah, how do you know!"

Caifeng pursed her lips and snickered: "It's so easy to deceive!"

Qingluan angrily messed up Caifeng's hair, but Caifeng didn't think it was right and said: "Then Gongzi Pan is very good with your eldest brother Xu, I'll go and help you talk about it, let you follow him." ”

Qingluan took a wooden comb and combed Caifeng's messy hair, "Miss, I only treat him as his brother, and Brother Xu is only like my sister." There is nothing wrong with it, and I said that I want to be with Miss forever. ”

Caifeng stretched out her hand and grabbed Qingluan's hand, and the two equally delicate faces in the bronze mirror looked at each other, both speechless.

Caifeng remembered that when her family was in trouble, she asked Qingluan, who was full of martial arts, to leave, but Qingluan refused to leave, and finally followed herself into this filthy place. And in these years, if it weren't for Qingluan's protection, she would have sunk long ago, maybe she would have died a long time ago. No matter what, we have to make this child happy.

Qingluan remembered that when she first entered the house, she failed in martial arts and was bullied, but it was the young lady who saved herself with her skirt, and when her sister looked at it, she gave herself the new clothes that the master bought for her, taught herself to read, and comforted herself when she was sad. She remembered all these things, and she knew that Miss was not as strong as she looked, and that Miss was lazy and needed to be taken care of, and she had to wake her up every day. Such a young lady has to spend her whole life to protect.

The two of them made up their minds.

And ahead, Jinling is about to arrive.

After walking for so long, although the boat often stopped to rest on the shore, the people on the boat were a little tired. Further on is Jin Wancheng's ground, and there must be some hospitality.

Xu Xian thought about his building a telescope, but for a while he didn't know how to negotiate with this old and cunning businessman, after all, he was not a business elite in his previous life, and there was no reason to become extremely business-minded as soon as he crossed over. But he quickly thought of a note, he is not good at it, and it is better to ask someone who is good at it. He told Pan Yuyi what he thought.

Pan Yu was surprised: "Hanwen, are you really sure, what kind of telescope can you make?" She understands the value of this kind of thing very well, whether it is navigation or the military. Imagine if you could observe the storm and the coast in advance during the voyage. In the course of marching operations, being able to see through the enemy's disposition and reality is enough to turn things around.

Xu Xian said: "I'm not sure about artificial crystals, I only have a general idea, and I need some experiments." But I can be sure of the principle of the telescope, that is, as long as the current glass meets the requirements, it can also be made ordinary. "But you can't make the kind of telescope that observes astronomy.

Pan Yu clapped his hands and said: "Okay, as long as you can be sure, I will go to talk to Jin Wancheng, and I will definitely be able to get a suitable price, but this kind of magic weapon must not be produced on a large scale, it should be a more strictly controlled item than a crossbow, I will make an agreement, and hand it over to Jin Wancheng for trial production first, if it can be submitted to the Ministry of Industry again, you will have no problem if you want to find an official and a half-job." ”

Xu Xian said: "Is it difficult to make a profit?" He didn't take into account the military value of this telescope, and now after listening to Pan Yuyi, he realized that the imperial court would never allow this kind of sharp weapon to flow into the people, and it would be difficult to make much profit without eliminating it.

Pan Yu nodded and said, "It's impossible in the short term, but how can it be limited for a long time." Not to mention this, if the artificial crystal can be made, then it will really be a lot of money, and you can redeem Qingluan. ”

Xu Xian blushed and said, "You found it!" and said: "Such a woman shouldn't sink here, I naturally won't say anything if Caifeng is interested in you, but Qingluan should find her own Ruyi Langjun, how can I not care about being a brother." ”

Pan Yu said angrily: "I'm afraid that this Ruyi Langjun is your brother Xu!"

Xu Xian said seriously: "I only treat her sister as a sister, and I have no other thoughts." ”

Pan Yu looked at him for a while, and sighed with a smile: "Okay, okay, you are a righteous gentleman, right! I'll go and say to Caifeng, follow your wishes!" If you want to redeem Qingluan, you have to get Caifeng's consent.

In the cabin, Caifeng excitedly said to Qingluan: "Girl, your good thing is coming?"

Qingluan was puzzled: "A good thing?"

Caifeng said with a smile: "Your eldest brother Xu wants to redeem himself for you, and asked Pan Gongzi to be a matchmaker!" In her eyes, whoever is redeemed will be whoever is the person for the rest of her life, whether it is for Ji or as a concubine, this will not change.

Qingluan was stunned for a moment, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, and his voice trembled a little: "He didn't tell me!"

Cai Feng said happily: "Surprise, silly girl, I thought about it, that Xu Gongzi has no money, but it is enough to have this intention, I will help you out of this redeemed silver, and don't let people look down on you when you enter his door." ”

Qingluan lowered his head, his body trembled a little, and finally raised his head and said, "I'll go talk to him." With that, he ran out the door.

Qingluan broke into Xu Xian's room and dragged Xu Xian out under Pan Yu's surprised gaze.

Qingluan thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Xu, do you want to redeem yourself for me?"

Xu Xian nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, don't you dislike Mingyu?"

Qingluan was affirmed by him, and his heart trembled even more, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Xu, you are a good person, but I only treat you as an elder brother." ”

Xu Xian lamented in his heart, what a classic, so familiar good person card, brother card! But a little funny, patted Qingluan's head and said: "I also treat you as a sister, I redeemed my body for you, you can marry whoever you want, with my brother, no one will dare to bully you." ”

Qingluan only felt a sense of loss when she heard this, but she still gritted her teeth and said: "Brother Xu, thank you for your kindness! Qingluan is not blessed not to be your sister, but Qingluan is going to accompany Miss!"

Xu Xian frowned and said, "Can you accompany her for the rest of your life?"

Qingluan raised his head and affirmed: "I can, Brother Xu, don't you seem to know about me?" I'll tell you now, my mother died early, my father was from the rivers and lakes, and later when he was in Hanzhong, it seemed that he was hunted down by the enemy, or it could be something else, I can't remember clearly, so I was sent to Yunfu, and as a result, Master Yun moved to Jiangnan, and after several changes, he finally became the prefect of Hangzhou, and then it became like this. If there is no Miss over the years, Qingluan is not Qingluan, and Miss can't leave me, so ......"

Xu Xian waved her hand to signal that she didn't need to say any more, "I understand, I won't force you, well, I will let Mingyu take good care of you." But there is a trace of the bloody feeling of being cuckolded by his best friend, of course, this emotion is just a flash.

Qingluan showed a look of gratitude and apology, and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Xu, can I call you brother?"

Xu Xian smiled and said, "Of course." ”

Qingluan said crisply: "Brother, I'll go first!" After speaking, he turned around and left, Xu Xian shook his head and sighed, everyone has their own insistence, if you want to help others, you must first learn not to impose your will on others. But is this time considered self-righteous for a while?

Pan Yu came out of the corner, learned Qingluan's tone, and called crisply: "Brother!"

So Xu Xian almost choked to death with his own saliva, coughing non-stop, Pan Yu came over to help him pat his back, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your sister." But the schadenfreude in the words is inevitable.

Xu Xian glared at her and said, "Don't bully her." ”

Pan Yu smiled proudly in her heart, and said in Xu Xian's ear: "I won't bully her, it's too late for me to hurt her." And especially accentuated the tone on the word "pain", although reason told her that Xu Xian would definitely marry a wife and have children, so she wanted to help him redeem Qingluan, but seeing Xu Xian's failure to redeem herself, the pride in her heart was indispensable.

Xu Xian suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her waist, pressed it against herself, and lowered her head to that beautiful face and said, "Never underestimate a man who has a back to the mountain in his heart, beware of me gritting my teeth and attacking you." ”

Pan Yu exclaimed in surprise and pushed Xu Xian away, took a step back, but stepped into the air, it was in vain to rely on her martial arts, she only had time to stretch out her hand and shout: "Hanwen save me!"

Xu Xian reacted quickly, grabbed her hand and pulled it back into his arms, Pan Yu held his chest to breathe steadily, gently pushed him away, and said angrily: "I don't know how to swim." "Although she has excellent martial arts, she is a northerner after all, and she is limited to her identity, she can't learn how to swim, and if she falls into the water, she can only wait for someone to save her.

Xu Xian was also angry for a while, and he regretted it at the moment, so he could only quickly promise: "It's okay, I will." ”

Pan Yu glanced at him, and walked to the cabin without saying a word, but the taste of being held in his arms still made her heart pound.
