Chapter 4

If I had the chance, my father would have taught him many years ago. Talent test is just a way to pursue fame and wealth. It gives you a chance to be remembered by those above. It will never be the only smooth way to improve your strength.

For example, for those real aristocratic families, I'm afraid they don't like the so-called talent test. The reason why they send their disciples to participate in it on time is mostly for the face of the imperial court

Interestingly, now Yang Xuan, two roads are broken.

No one taught him to practice.

No one allowed him to take the talent test and let the imperial court teach him to practice.

He can only choose to be an idle man and spend his life quietly

This is the so-called fortune making people, isn't it? When Yang Xiao was very young, he heard that his second uncle was a favored son of heaven. He was the most gifted person in the hundreds of years since the Yang family moved to the border city. Even his father could not catch up with him.

But what's the use?

In the end, don't the gifted son still have to eat his free meal from the Yang family... Second uncle, can you see the spirit in heaven? See, how would you feel?

Looking through the crack of the door at the young man immersed in a good life of one meal and one dish in the yard, Yang Xiao left here at ease.

Along the way, the smile on his face gradually became obvious, and finally he even laughed loudly. With his hands on his back, he strode up to the sky and laughed loudly.

Yang Xuan, who was eating, put down his chopsticks and took a look at the door. He thought that someone had become possessed again? The death of drought, the death of waterlogging?

Shook his head and ate again.

…………

Time passed quickly, and more than ten days passed in the twinkling of an eye.

During this period, Yang Qianxue came once and helped Yang Xuan repair the house, which can at least ensure that in winter, he will not endure the cold wind as before.

Apart from these, his life is still the same as usual, and there is nothing worth writing about. It's as plain as a glass of boiled water.

The next afternoon, the Yang family suddenly became a lot more lively. Yang Xuan heard what the servant said. It turned out that there was a theft case in Qingzhou City recently. A treasure in the city master's house was stolen. The government can't arrest the thief. He tracked it around and found the trace of the thief outside the wall of Yang's courtyard.

At the moment, the people of the Yang family are the Yamen servants sent by the government. Many of them are Yang Xiao's colleagues.

As the deacon of Qingzhou Xiuxian hall, Yang Xiao is also a member of the Yang family. He is very interested in this matter. In order to prove his innocence, he asked the Yang family to open the door to assist the other party in handling the case.

Yang Xuan's small courtyard door was also pushed open by several young men. He broke in quite savagely and asked Yang Xiao to stay in the yard and not go anywhere.

In fact, this statement is somewhat superfluous. In the past 16 years, he has left the courtyard only a few times. Even if the door is open like this, there are few opportunities. At first, his uncle didn't allow it, but he didn't want to relax later.

A person so isolated from the outside world has few opportunities to see outsiders. Especially many outsiders. Therefore, when he saw a group of people in uniform coming towards his courtyard, Yang Xuan involuntarily walked out of the gate, stood at the pier and looked at them.

…………

The people of the city Lord's residence did things with great speed. They quickly swept the whole Yang family, but they didn't find any trace of thieves.

"How can my Yang family have anything to do with thieves? It must have been that guy who saw the high wall courtyard and ran in to avoid. Now when you search, he is naturally scared away."

Yang Xiao led the way in front of a group of people. Beside him was a young man about his age, wearing the same clothes as Yang Xiao.

After listening to Yang Xiao's words, he smiled, pointed to the back row of yards of the Yang family and said, "don't worry, let's go there first."

Yang Xiao's face became very ugly.

His name is Yu Xuezhong. He is the deacon of Xiuxian Hall who is responsible for investigating the theft. On weekdays, Yang Xiao has many disagreements with him in Xiuxian hall, and his relationship is getting worse. Recently, it is said that this person is favored by the daughter of the city master's book and has the potential to leap over the dragon's gate. Over time, some people don't pay attention to Yang Xiao.

This time, the thief was found around his Yang family. Why didn't he take the opportunity to fall in the snow?

Yang Xiao followed him and walked straight towards the open courtyard.

In front of the courtyard stood a young man. The young man held the door with one hand and looked forward. His eyes fell on them from a distance, including envy, longing, longing, reverence and other emotions.

When he saw Yang Xiao, he took back his eyes, slightly bowed his head, bowed steadily to each other, and called "brother".

What is he doing at the door? Isn't it embarrassing enough?

Yang Xiao didn't answer, and his face became more ugly in an instant. Finally, when he noticed that Yu looked at the boy in the snow and his face looked like a smile, his face was finally completely blue.

"I didn't expect to see the legendary second childe of the Yang family here... It's really lucky for us." Yu smiled softly in the snow, deliberately stopped and turned to look at Yang Xiao, "but brother Yang is not very kind. People respectfully called you brother. Why don't you agree? Are you afraid of being known that you have such a brother?"

Yang Xuan's reputation was actually known by many people in Qingzhou City ten years ago. It is said that people gradually know that there is a worried second childe in the Yang family. He was locked in the backyard by Yang Dingshan since childhood. He hasn't stepped out of the Yang family for many years.

It is said that the second childe is naturally quiet. Although he is born to Yang Dingshan, he is different from Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao is obviously much better in terms of his talent and mind in cultivating immortals and the level of treatment he receives.

Many people speculate that the so-called second childe is not Yang Dingshan's blood at all, but most likely the offspring of the brilliant genius in Qingzhou City more than ten years ago. This can better explain why two children with little age difference will have very different development situations.

However, such speculation could not be confirmed, and the Yang family kept quiet about it. Over time, everyone's curiosity gradually subsided.

Hearing Yu Xue's words, Yang Xiao smiled coldly: "should I deal with him or not, and what's the matter with brother Yu? You're just sent by the city Lord's house to investigate the case. Just do your own business. It's not up to outsiders to worry about my Yang family's business!"

Yu Xuezhong was not angry. He smiled and nodded without saying anything. He took the lead in breaking into the courtyard. When passing by Yang Xuan, he deliberately paused, looked up and down at the plain clothes boy who bowed his head and dared not speak, and then shook his head slightly and walked in.

Yang Xiao deliberately fell at the end and said to Yang Xuan sideways, "the Yang family is out and claims that you are the second son of my father and my Yang Xiao's brother. Although I don't know the reason why my family does this, since my Yang family gives you face, you should also take care of my Yang family's face. I don't want to appear again." Then he wiped Yang Xuan's hands and walked in.
