Chapter 322: Chapter 322 Fulfilling the Promise
"Lingyin is a genius, a rare genius, I don't want to waste such a rough gem."
Lina's eyes, which seemed to hide the blue ocean, stared at Xu Lingyin carefully, as if staring at a treasure.
Genius?
Xu Pingzhi and his nephew looked at each other and shook his head: "My daughter has no talent, her bones and muscles are not tough, she just has a burst of strength."
Xu Pingzhi made the decision to let Xu Qi'an practice martial arts and Xu Xinnian study. Because Xu Xinnian had no talent for martial arts, but was extremely intelligent. And Xu Qi'an was just the opposite.
After Xu Lingyin was born, Xu Pingzhi also touched her bones, and after years of observation, he was extremely sure that his little girl was not only stupid, but also had bad bones and muscles.
At least she was very sad at the level of refining essence.
Xu Qi'an also shook his head. His vision was more vicious than that of his second uncle. If Xu Lingyin was a martial arts genius, Xu Qi'an would have already started to cultivate the flower buds of Dafeng.
As for studying, Xu Xinnian gave up when his younger sister was four years old. His evaluation was: her eyes were scattered, her attention could not be focused, and she could not read any books.
Xu Lingyin did not disappoint her second brother. Every teacher who taught her would be so angry that he doubted his life.
If you have to say what talent the little bean has, it is probably... eating?
To what Uncle Xu said, Lina retorted: "But she can eat."
Are you kidding us... The family looked at the little black-skinned girl from southern Xinjiang with squinted eyes.
Seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Lina was surprised and said: "Don't you realize that she is a genius?"
Hearing this, Xu Xinnian and others turned their heads to look at Xu Lingyin who was peeling an egg. She knocked one end of the egg on the table, then pressed the egg with her small palm, rubbed it hard on the table, and the eggshell fell off at the touch.
The whole process was smooth and flowing.
At her age, she is indeed a genius... The family couldn't help but cover their faces.
Xu Qian'an coughed and gently reminded Lina not to joke around: "Eating may be a talent, but you shouldn't be so proud that you want to take in a disciple. What can you teach her?
"How to peel an eggshell within three breaths? How can I eat an extra bowl of rice every day?" Lina's healthy wheat-colored complexion suddenly turned red, and she waved her hand to explain: "I'm not going to teach her how to eat, I'm going to teach her Gu Shu."
Xu Pingzhi's face changed, and he waited for Xu Lingyin like a copper bell: "Did you catch some bugs and eat them?"
Xu Lingyin showed a yearning look and tried to ask: "Can bugs be eaten?"
"No, no." Xu Xinnian and Xu Ershu waved their hands in unison.
When I heard that you were going to teach her Gu Shu, my first reaction was: Little Dou Ding ate bugs?!
Xu Qian'an complained in his heart and asked thoughtfully: "You mean, she is a genius in practicing Gu Shu."
Lina nodded, then corrected: "To be precise, she is a genius in cultivating power. Lingyin is strong and energetic, and her blood and qi are rich. This is a genius that we have not seen in our power department for decades.
"Don't you think it's strange that such a small child has such a big appetite."
Isn't it because she is greedy... The Xu family thought, and then they had some understanding. According to Xu Lingyin's eating method, other children would have died of suffocation, but she is alive and kicking.
Lina suppressed the desire to eat and said: "The way of cultivation in our power department is to choose a power when you are young and swallow it, so that it can live in the body.
"In the first few years, the power will absorb the essence and energy of the host. If the child is not physically strong enough, it will become very weak. Because the power and the host share the same fate, it will not drain the host, but will only weaken with him.
"This will cause congenital deficiency."
She said, looking at Xu Lingyin with burning eyes, "But she won't, she will provide an excellent breeding ground for power Gu, laying a solid foundation at a young age. Moreover, Lingyin is strong and powerful, even if she doesn't cultivate her mind, her strength is far better than her peers. Once she is well cultivated, she will soar into the sky."
The family looked at each other.
Auntie pondered for a while and asked tentatively: "Will she become as good at eating as you?"
Lina waved her hand: "No, no."
Auntie just breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Xiao Heipi modestly say: "She will become better at eating than me."
11.....
Auntie didn't even think about it and rejected it: "I don't agree, what about you, Master?" Xu Pingzhi looked at his son and nephew and asked for their opinions: "What do you two think?"
Xu Qian'an commented: "Anyway, she has no future in studying, and she is not that kind of material for martial arts, so why not give it a try."
Auntie slapped the table "bang bang", feeling offended, and shivered: "Xu Ningyan, how can you talk like that? Isn't Lingyin your sister?"
It seems that there is no need to remember the old hatred in the future, and the mother-son relationship between auntie and nephew is over today.
Xu Lingyue whispered, "Mom, what my elder brother said is right."
The angry aunt was caught off guard and was stabbed in the back by her daughter.
Xu Xinnian said, "I can accept you as a disciple, but there is one thing I want to ask you. When can I become a master of Li Gu?"
Lina said without thinking, "It can be as short as five years or as long as twenty years. It depends on personal talent."
Xu Xinnian nodded, glanced at Lingyin, and said, "Then Miss Lina can stay in the capital for five years or twenty years?"
Lina's mouth moved faster than her brain: "As long as you give me a meal, I can stay forever."
"No!"
Everyone in the Xu family said in unison.
"....." Xiao Heipi looked aggrieved. It's just a few mouthfuls of rice from your family. You are
so stingy.
Finally, the head of the family, Xu Pingzhi, made a decision and said, "It's up to Lina to teach
my daughter."
Xu Xinnian and Xu Qi'an looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that Lina really had to live in the capital for five years, or even twenty years?
The tuition fee was too high.
In response, Xu Pingzhi said with a smile, "Lingyin is just a girl, and she is not trying to be the
best in the world. It doesn't matter if she can't become a master.
"You two are too ambitious and want to be the best in everything."
Xu Xinnian and Xu Qi'an were speechless, and felt that what the second uncle (father) said
made sense.
Lina touched Xu Lingyin's head, "If you go back to Southern Xinjiang with me, my father will definitely accept you as his personal disciple. In ten years at most, you can move a mountain.
Xu Qi'an had a corresponding picture in his mind. Ten years later, the grown-up Xu Lingyin was carrying a mountain. Every step caused an earthquake-like effect. He said happily: Daguo, I'm back. I'll give you a mountain. Take it!
The Xu family's daughter has grown up. She is strong enough to pull up mountains and has the courage to conquer the world...... Xu Qi'an shuddered.
Before dawn, the sky was blue.
An orange cat walked with elegant steps, shuttled through the empty and silent streets, and
came to the gate of the Sun Mansion.
It jumped lightly onto the roof of a house facing the street, looked around, then jumped off the roof and quickly rushed to the gate of the Sun Mansion.
Then, the orange cat rolled its throat, highlighting a circular outline, and slowly squeezed out
of the throat.
It was a small jade mirror. After it was spit out, it did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air. The mirror surface flashed, and a comatose young man was shaken out.
The orange cat opened its mouth, took the jade mirror back into its belly, and left quickly with
its tail up. After another quarter of an hour, the yawning old doorman opened the door and saw the
young man in fancy clothes lying on the ground. He was startled, and after seeing the young man's appearance clearly, he ran into the mansion excitedly.
After a while, several servants came in a hurry and carried the young man in fancy clothes into
the mansion.
Shangshu Sun rushed over after hearing the news, and saw his son lying unconscious on the
brocade bed, and his heart was instantly lifted.
"Master, the young master is just unconscious, not too seriously injured." The old
housekeeper standing by the bed said.
"What do you mean not too seriously injured?" Shangshu Sun raised his eyebrows.
"The young master... was whipped dozens of times, his skin was torn, but fortunately it was
all superficial injuries, and he is fine after applying medicine." The old housekeeper lowered
his head.
"Asshole! Breaking your promise!"
Sun Shangshu's face turned pale, distressed and angry, but then, as if he thought of
something, his boiling anger suddenly dissipated.
After a moment of silence, Sun Shangshu sighed: "It's good that you're back."
......
Haoqi Tower, teahouse.
"Prince Yu has long lost his desire to fight for fame and fortune, so he can repay me. If he is
still the Prince Yu, he probably won't agree to it easily. As for Duke Cao, he and the deputy general of the King of Zhenbei have joined forces to plot my invincibility.
"I remember Duke Wei said that the court dispute is a dispute over interests, and we must learn to compromise. So I agreed to his request."
Xu Qian'an held a cup of tea and sat in the teahouse with transparent light. He turned his head
and looked at Wei Yuan on the observation deck, basking in the sun and looking at the scenery.
"Yes, you have some understanding, but it's a pity that your temper is hard to change, and you are not suitable for the court." Wei Yuan nodded.
"It's mainly because Duke Wei taught me well." Xu Qian'an said modestly.
Wei Yuan smiled, put his hands on the guardrail, looked at the beautiful spring scenery, and
after a long time, asked:
"You ran around everywhere for the imperial examination fraud case, and you didn't even
stay in the government office. You worked hard. "
"But I also learned a lot." Xu Qiyan responded, sipped a sip of tea.
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "You understand my point."
Xu Baipiao was stunned for a moment, and had a bad feeling: "Hard work?"
Wei Yuan shook his head, did not turn around, and said gently: "I didn't stay in the government office much."
11
Wei Yuan said: "So, this month's salary is gone."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Xu Qiyan's eyes were dull, staring at Wei Qingyi's back, crying: "Mr. Wei, my salary for this
month is long gone."
"Really?" Wei Yuan was stunned, and nodded slowly: "Then there is no salary for next
month."
"??? "
Did I make him unhappy in some way...... Smart Xu Baipiao didn't dwell on this topic. Never compete with your leader, it will only make you bored.
"Duke Wei, why did the deputy general of the Zhenbei King return to Beijing?"
"The situation in the north is tense, and he is short of food and money, so he came back to ask
for money." Wei Yuan said.
"What kind of person is the Zhenbei King?"
"A domineering person."
Domineering people are often unreasonable, and because of their status as princes, they can
ignore the rules to a certain extent... Xu Qian'an judged in his heart.
Bidding farewell to Wei Yuan, he rode on the mare, with the heavy cloth bag on the saddle for
a long time, and ran towards the Huai Palace.
Now, he has to fulfill his promise and go to find the deputy general of the Zhenbei King.
"It's strange. Chu Xianglong asked me to go to the Zhenbei Palace to find him after the matter
is over. This means that during the time he returned to Beijing, he did not live in his own home, but in the Zhenbei Palace.
"At least, most of the time he stayed in the Zhenbei Palace. The Zhenbei King was at the border, and there was only one most beautiful princess in the palace..."
From the perspective of the Zhenbei King, it was definitely impossible for his younger brother
to live under the same roof with the widowed concubine.
But Chu Xianglong did it, and did it openly and without concealing it, which meant that Chu
Xianglong was instructed by the Zhenbei King.
Why did the Zhenbei King do this?
He trusted the deputy general much more than the princess......
Huai Wang Mansion, outer hall.
A woman wearing a gorgeous palace skirt and a light veil sat on the table and fiddled with tea
sets.
In the hall, Chu Xianglong, who was covered in armor and had a sword on his waist, stood tall, staring at the princess with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"I heard from the guards in the palace that the princess disappeared twice for no reason?"
The woman with a light veil turned a deaf ear to it, lowered her head and fiddled with the tea sets, with gentle movements and elegant posture.
"How did the princess hide it from the guards in the mansion? How did you hide it from the
sorcerer of the Sitianjian? Who have you met recently and what happened?"
"Noisy!"
The woman with a veil on her face frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "Are you
questioning me?"
"I dare not!"
Chu Xianglong lowered his head and said lightly: "This time I returned to the capital, in
addition to asking His Majesty for military pay, I also took the princess to the north to meet the prince. You should make preparations early."
After a pause, he raised his head, stared at the woman's smart and beautiful eyes, and said in a
deep voice: "I will stay in the palace during this period. If the princess wants to go out, I will accompany her all the way."
The masked woman was silent.
At this time, a guard walked into the hall and said with a fist: "General Chu, Yinluo Xu Qian'an
wants to see you."
Chu Xianglong nodded, glanced at the princess, bowed his hands and clasped his fists, and left
the hall.
Xu Qian'an, what is he doing in the palace... The masked woman lowered her head, her eyes moving around with cunningness, and no one knew what she was thinking.
