Chapter 17: The Wicked
Early the next morning, Zhang Xuan finished practicing in the morning, washed up, and was about to go to the front hall to eat, but he heard a quarrel from the front hall, which was very loud, otherwise it would not have spread to Zhang Xuan's courtyard.
"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan was anxious and hurriedly quickened his pace.
"Li Fugui, don't deceive people too much, my young master's illness has been cured, and he will take the hospital exam soon, and he will be the master of Xiucai when he comes back. "This is Uncle Zhong's voice.
"Hehe, that sick kid is really big! But just that nerd of your young master, can you be in Jinke High School, huh?
Besides, in order to treat that nerd, your family has already been surrounded by four walls, and I heard that some time ago, your store also quit the lease.
Even if your nerd wants to take the exam, but this travel fee will not fall from the sky, right? Master, I am merciful, for the sake of some relatives of our two families, although your house is a little broken, my lord and I will reluctantly accept it, and accept one hundred taels. ”
As soon as he walked to the door, Zhang Xuan heard a snarky and arrogant voice, and looked at it again. A fat man with a fat head and big ears, dressed in a ridiculous green man's suit, was standing triumphantly in front of his mother, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he looked like I was very benevolent and rich, followed by a hunched manservant with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks.
The person who came was called Li Fugui, and he was still a distant cousin of Zhang Xuan's mother, Li's mother, and a wealthy businessman in the city. It turned out that when Zhang Xuan's father and grandfather were still alive, they often sent some things to Zhang's house, but since they died, they have never come again.
Now I came here, but I came to seize the ancestral house of the Zhang family.
At this time, Bao'er was helping Zhang's mother, and when she saw Zhang Xuan coming in, she hurriedly ran over and took Zhang Xuan's hand and said, "Young master, young master, you're here, you quickly get rid of this fat guy, he is so annoying, Bao'er doesn't like him." ”
Zhang Xuan touched Bao'er's little head lovingly, and said, "Don't worry, everything has me." ”
Seeing his mother touching her chest with her hand, obviously angry, Zhang Xuan was angry from his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaosheng Zhang Xuan, I don't know why Li Yuanwai came to the door so early?"
Li Fatzi was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "This is my cousin-nephew, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I think at the beginning, you were still such a big and small one, cousin I also hugged you?"
"Hehe, I'm a nerd, but I can't climb the famous Li Yuanwai! If it's okay, Li Yuanwai should please!" Zhang Xuan sneered, posing as a send-off.
"Hehe, don't worry! This is a deed, you see, if there is no problem, sign it!" said and handed Zhang Xuan a document handed over by the servant from behind.
Zhang Xuan took the paperwork, looked at it, and found that there was only one core: he voluntarily sold the ancestral house of the Zhang family to Li Fugui for one hundred taels of silver.
"Li Yuanwai, it seems that you are prepared, and even the deed is ready?"
"Hehe, if there is no problem with Zhang Gongzi, hurry up and sign it!"
"Xuan'er ......"
"Young Master......"
"Hehe!" Zhang Xuan smiled at his family, turned around, folded the paperwork in his hand and slapped it on Li Fugui's fat face.
Without waiting for him to react, he shouted sharply: "Fat Li, blind your dog's eyes, this is also a place where you can come to spread wild? My house is worth at least 500 yuan, and with your documents, I can sue you for blackmail." Do you know that just a few days ago, the Wei Mansion was also optimistic about my potential and gave me an errand to copy books, and the Wei Mansion funded me, what are you?"
Li Fugui's master and servant were frightened by Zhang Xuan's sudden outburst, and then reacted, and said with a red face: "Zhang Xiaolang, there is no one hundred taels, look at how you do the scientific examination, I ......"
"Don't get out of here!" Zhang Xuan glared at him, and his hair was all open.
The two masters and servants, before they finished speaking, they were frightened by Zhang Xuan. One in front and one behind, one fat and one thin, like two round balls, he couldn't even care about the paperwork, and rolled out of the house in a panic. It's just that I lost face, and I was a little annoyed and angry, and I kept scolding and scolding while walking.
drove the two away, Zhang Xuan turned around, and was about to help his mother sit down, but suddenly laughed.
It turned out that at some point, Uncle Zhong and Bao'er, one holding a stool and the other holding a broom, made a look of rushing people. Especially Bao'er, with a small mouth, makes a fierce look, but how cute she looks!
Zhang Xuan smiled like this, but it just broke the frozen atmosphere in the room.
As for the two people who ran away, Zhang Xuan didn't care, "It's just a businessman, except for money, he has no status at all, as long as he is admitted to Xiucai, they can't afford to make any waves." ”
Helping his mother sit down, as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang's mother said worriedly: "Hey, although Li Fugui is not a thing, he is right. Up to now, our family has only ten taels of silver, and when the time comes, what should you do if you rush to take the exam?"
"It seems that I was wrong in my previous estimate, and the situation at home is slightly better than I expected, and I can make up a dozen taels of silver. However, it's just a little better, and it's just a drop in the bucket for the amount of money you need for your own home. Zhang Xuan thought secretly.
Although he was secretly a little worried, he didn't show any emotion on the surface, looked at his mother and comforted: "Mother rest assured, the child is already eyebrow-raising after the exam." Moreover, the Wei Mansion promised the children, if they are not entangled, they can lend it to us for free, and they will pay it back slowly in the future!"
"Now that the urgent life problem has been solved, we have to find a way to make this family rich. It seems that the plan to write a book is also on the agenda as soon as possible. Zhang Xuan thought secretly.
As for the loan from the Wei Mansion, it was just an excuse to comfort her mother.
"Really?"
"Hmm. After receiving Zhang Xuan's affirmative answer, Zhang's mother finally settled down.
Then, after the family had eaten breakfast happily, they went their separate ways.
The days have passed so plainly and interestingly.
Zhang Xuan went to the Wei Mansion to copy books during the day, and went home at night to practice swords and read. On the holidays of ten days off, I take Bao'er or Wan'er to the street.
It's okay to laugh at Bao'er, fight with the little girl, sneak a little hand at Wan'er by the way, talk to Wan'er with a shy face, and enhance the relationship. Although many times Zhang Xuan doesn't necessarily get a single response when he says ten sentences, he still enjoys it.
That little day, don't be too comfortable! This reminded Zhang Xuan of the comfortable life of reading, drinking, and collecting rent after winning the lottery in his previous life. That calm and happy day is happiness!
During this period, Zhang Xuan reviewed the Four Books and Five Classics, and made a few articles based on the foundation of his previous life, but it seemed to be similar, no worse than ordinary talents.
But if you go to Xiucai with such a level, you can't get it out of ten, you have to rely on luck, but now what Zhang Xuan lacks is luck.
In terms of swordsmanship, Zhang Xuan has already practiced "Yongzi Eight Swords" proficiently, between tossing and turning, the sword is free, it can be regarded as an entry, but he just wants to practice internal breath, but it is still far away, and until now, Zhang Xuan does not even have a sense of qi.
In this month, the biggest change is Zhang Xuan's body, with the improvement of food and daily hard training, Zhang Xuan's originally thin and weak body has gradually become strong and powerful.
Even the height has grown a lot, about 1.8 meters, plus the original delicate face, it looks even more handsome and dignified. If you wear a white dress, you will be a beautiful son who is independent in the turbid world.
Mother Zhang saw it and said, "Ancestor blessed".
Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes: "This is the result of your son's hard work, okay! What does it have to do with the ancestors?" However, Zhang Xuan only dared to say this in his heart.
The biggest surprise came from the mother and daughter of the Zhao family.
Once unintentionally, Zhang Xuan was curious, and used the Wangqi technique to check the luck of Zhao's mother and daughter, but the result made Zhang Xuan's jaw drop in shock.
On Zhao's mother's head, which represents the luck of the time, is a white air mass wrapped with more than a dozen wisps of gray gas, which should be riddled with illness. This is normal, just look at Zhao's mother's complexion.
What surprised Zhang Xuan was that her natal qi had reached a pale yellow color.
Light yellow is the life of the sixth grade, and the wife is expensive by the husband, which shows that Zhao Wan'er's father is at least an official of the sixth grade, but somehow, the family road has fallen, and the luck has also degenerated into a white air mass that now represents the common people.
And Zhao's mother's illness is likely to come from this.
What made Zhang Xuan even more unacceptable was Zhao Wan'er, this beautiful girl's whole body was shrouded in a magical aura.
"She's actually a monk?" Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.
Above Zhao Wan'er's head, there was a pale yellow cloud, and in the middle stood an inch-long crystal sword, which gave people an inviolable momentum.
Through comparison, Zhang Xuan thinks that her cultivation should not be weak, and she may be one or two points lower than the old Taoist priest of that pear.
"This is really more people than people have to die, and goods have to be thrown away!
The old Taoist priest didn't know that the immortal cultivator had the skill to stay in the face, and he didn't know how many years he had been cultivating.
But how old is Zhao Wan'er? Think about Zhao's mother, who is only in her early thirties. She should be about the same age as herself, but she is already so powerful!
In contrast, he is really a waste man. Poor all his life, that is, a seven-grade county order!"
Therefore, in the first few days, Zhang's mother proposed to the Zhao family, but Zhao's mother agreed, but was politely declined by Zhao Wan'er.
After Zhang Xuan knew the result, he had expected it and was not surprised.
"After all, people are long-lived immortal cultivators, how can they fall in love with this mortal boy who has only known each other for a few days. ”
However, although Zhao Wan'er refused this family business, she often helped her mother with housework, which made Zhang's mother often sigh that her son did not have this blessing.
