Chapter 29 The examination begins
In this family, when getting along with others, Hou Ping'an always pays attention to his words and deeds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info, but getting along with his sister Hou Xiaochan is the easiest time for him.
Whether Ge You is lying on the chair like a paralyzed person, or directly grabbing the corbel bone with his hand and gnawing there.
He, the elder sister who has always been a rulemaker to her subordinates, will never tell him.
Xiaobai followed Hou Ping'an all the way to his own courtyard. Although the people on the road had all kinds of curiosity and fear about it, when they thought that it was brought in by their young master himself, they didn't see it one by one.
Xiaobai is more curious about the new living environment, and constantly pees everywhere along the way, swearing his sovereignty.
When Hou Ping'an took it into the kitchen to find something to eat, it also went to the chicken pen to intimidate.
Today is the tenth day of the first month, and it is the time to settle the previous month's earnings. On this day every month, Hou Xiaochan has to meet with speakers and shopkeepers from all over the world. Also look through a lot of ledgers.
Originally, such a task would have taken two days to complete, but when Hou Ping'an replaced the numbers in the ledger with Arabic numerals, the two-day workload was shortened to one day.
Hou Ping'an once handled this matter on behalf of Hou Xiaochan. But some of his views are too advanced or too maverick. In many places, the shopkeeper can't accept it.
And he didn't know anything about the customs and social relations of some places. A lot of what seemed to him to be the most normal thing to deal with, but in a certain environment, it became a wrong decision.
This made him depressed for a lot of time, and privately told his sister that these people were too ignorant.
But after her sister Hou Xiaochan said something, Hou Ping'an never complained again.
"Each place has its own set of rules of conduct, and this set of norms will generally be in the interests of all parties. While your approach will sometimes maximize the interests of most of them, as long as someone's interests are not taken into account, they will oppose your overturning of their approach. ”
Although this passage is a bit tongue-twisting, Hou Ping'an still understands. It's nothing more than something like an unspoken rule.
The unspoken rule is actually terrifying. For these things are often not in accordance with the law or human feelings, but they are very common rules in a certain circle or group. If you try to overturn this rule, you are actually challenging the circle or the whole group.
Hou Ping'an doesn't have that much courage, and he doesn't want to be this budding bird, he just wants to live well in this world, and if possible, he still wants to find a way home.
Even though it has been ten years since he came to this world, he still has not fully integrated into this society.
So after that time, except for some technical matters, he never helped his sister deal with these business matters.
Hou Xiaochan finished a busy day, knowing that after her brother went home, she didn't even eat dinner, so she came to her brother's courtyard.
She knew that her younger brother was going to take the mountain exam tomorrow. As long as he passed the exam, he would go to the south. I don't know when I'll be back.
In this family, she is actually similar to Hou Ping'an, when she is with others, no matter what the occasion, she has to hold the shelf of the eldest lady of the Hou family.
It was only when she was alone with this brother that she could completely relax.
Seeing that his younger brother and he often said that the white wolf was together, Hou Xiaochan was not a little surprised or afraid, and even took the initiative to go up and touch Xiaobai's head.
Although she knew that Xiaobai obviously didn't have a good impression of her as a stranger, and she was still whining in her mouth, she was not afraid at all.
Xiaobai may have felt Hou Ping'an's good impression of this person, and after Hou Xiaochan touched it for a while, he even took the initiative to put his head in her palm.
White, always looks purer and more lovely.
When Xiaobai took the initiative to start coquettishly with Hou Xiaochan, the eighteen-year-old hostess actually laughed happily.
There is no politeness or hypocrisy in that smile, it is completely the truest expression of the joy of the soul.
If he knew this, Hou Ping'an would definitely bring Xiaobai out as soon as possible. No one knows better than him how busy and hard his sister has been over the years.
No one knows better than him the hardships and efforts required to maintain the normal operation of the entire Hou family.
Animals are simpler than people, and when Hou Xiaochan handed it a cow leg bone, Xiaobai really felt Hou Xiaochan's kindness to him.
Like Hou Ping'an, it directly picked up Hou Xiaochan and ran in the yard.
If it weren't for Hou Ping'an who waved away his subordinates early, they would definitely be shocked, the majestic eldest lady in their eyes actually had such an innocent side.
Tired, tired, dark.
Hou Ping'an sat on the steps at the door, crawling Xiaobai at his feet. Hou Xiaochan stood behind her, looking at the vast night.
The first time he went out of the house, he had a lot to say, but in the end, he didn't say a word.
She also had a lot of instructions to tell, but in the end she took them to heart.
In the end, he only said one word.
She also only replied with one word.
"Sister, don't get married early, wait for me to come back and pick a wishful husband for you. ”
"Hmm. ”
Baidao Villa is located on the westernmost cliff of Houjia Town. The cliff is steep on three sides, and ordinary people can't go up at all. Only on the east side is a stone staircase that leads to the top of the mountain.
The stone steps are very long, with nearly 100 steps. Hou Ping'an counted three times, and finally determined that there were a total of ninety-eight stone steps.
Walking through the stone steps to the top of the mountain, you will find that the cliff is as smooth as a mirror.
There is no wall or archway in the villa, and the only thing that can prove that this is a hundred knives villa is a huge stone standing behind the stone steps, with the word "hundred knives" engraved on it.
There are rooms on the other three sides of the cliff top, which are the usual places for disciples to stay and put their weapons.
In the middle of the house on three sides, there is a small three-story building.
There are the martial arts books of the sect and the residence of the elders.
It looks a bit shabby, and it doesn't have the atmosphere of a martial arts faction at all. When Hou Ping'an came for the first time, he expressed doubts about what Hou Dahai called the number one faction in Tiannan.
At this moment, the open space in front of the villa was full of villa disciples. On the opposite side of them were the four people who were going to take the mountain test this time.
Qin Hao, Yue Xiong, Yue Niu, and the last one arrived at Hou Ping'an.
As long as the four of them can pass this assessment, they can start their travels.
It's just that this assessment doesn't seem to be as simple as they originally inquired about.
