Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Everyday Annoyance with AuntIn this way, Xu Qi'an got one tael and four qian of silver, plus his original three qian and the one qian he picked up, a total of two taels.

And the golden hairpin that Xu Qi'an liked got ten taels of silver.

He followed the same method and helped three young ladies solve the riddles, and finally collected five taels of silver.

"It should be enough to buy a golden hairpin, but I have to buy one for my aunt..."

"Sir?" The shopkeeper's pale call interrupted Xu Qi'an's deep thought.

Xu Qi'an looked at him in silence.

"Sir, can you please spare me?"

"Shopkeeper, this is meaningless, you set the rules."

"Sir, just tell me what you want."

"I want to buy two golden hairpins, but I only have enough silver for one... well, half-price ones."

"I, I'll give it to you." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth.

"I'm so sorry."

".....Please don't come again in the future. I will be very grateful."

Can't afford it? Xu Qi'an left with two golden hairpins in his arms with satisfaction.

I really don't want to get it for free. Xu is not that kind of person. But the store manager is too polite.

As for the store manager's feelings, he doesn't care. He can open such a shop. Although it hurts to lose twenty or thirty taels of silver, it is not a big loss.

Moreover, since you play this kind of routine and benefit from it, you must be prepared to meet masters.

It doesn't make sense that only you can make money from others, and others can't fleece you.

Not long after leaving the shop, he suddenly felt goosebumps on his back, and his pores seemed to be pierced by fine needles.

This made his heart beat faster and adrenaline secreted.

Someone is following me... watching me... hiding hostility... Xu Qi'an vaguely understood. Xu Qiyan remained calm, pretending that nothing had happened, but he was thinking in his heart.

Who was following me...Baoqixuan? Obviously not. Although the shop owner seemed to want to beat me up, the master who could make me shudder must have a background. Baoqixuan alone doesn't have such a talent.

Yunlu Academy? That's not right. The great scholars of Yunlu Academy were vying to take me in as their flute boy. How could they be hostile to me?

It's Zhou Mansion!

At this stage, if someone was hostile to him and secretly monitored him, it must be Zhou Mansion.

Xu Qiyan's heart was awed. His experience in his previous life told him that once you were followed and monitored by someone, it meant that the other party would take action in the near future, even tonight.

"The plan to visit Yunlu Academy was correct. Even though my second uncle and I are not weak in skills, the women in the family are a burden..."

Xu Qiyan's face was solemn. The plan to deal with Zhou Mansion could not be delayed.

After returning to Xu's house, Xu Qi'an immediately took out the military crossbow that he had exchanged (for free) from Song Qing, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, from the cabinet and hung it on his waist, and tied the heart mirror to his chest.

Only then did he feel a little safe.

After climbing over the wall to the main house, he saw Xu Lingyin chasing a group of geese in the backyard. She put her hands on her waist and stomped her feet hard, scaring the geese into panic and running around quacking.

"Brother, brother, do you think I am awesome?" Xu Lingyin saw her brother coming back and became more proud.

"Where did the geese come from?" Xu Qi'an was stunned. There were clearly no geese when The left home this morning.

"My mother asked someone to buy it, saying she would raise it at home..." Xu Lingyin tilted her head and said tenderly, "I forgot the last part."

It should be cheaper to raise it at home than to buy it outside... Xu Qian'an said, "Oh," and said, "Be careful, don't step on the goose to death. Aren't there any big geese?"

"The big goose is over there, I'll go and drive it out." Xu Lingyin volunteered to step into the flowerbed with her short legs.

A few seconds later, a child's pig-killing scream came out.

The bushes shook violently, and Xu Lingyin ran out crying, dragging a big white goose on her feet, biting her short legs tightly.

She looked like she was about to die, "Big brother, help me..."

Xu Qian'an stood by and laughed like a pig.

.....

At dusk, Second Uncle Xu came back from work, dressed in military uniform, with a long sword and a military crossbow hanging from his waist, looking like an eagle and a wolf, and his temperament was completely different from when he was wearing ordinary clothes. The three of them came to the study. After Lu'e served them hot tea, she left obediently. Xu Cijiu said, "My eldest brother and I have already arranged everything. We can send mother and sister to the academy tomorrow. It just so happens that Lingyin is also going to be enlightened. The teacher my father hired is not very good and can't teach her. The teacher in the academy will be fine."

Lingyin must have cried with joy when she heard the good news... Xu Qian'an suddenly thought of the funny joke of giving a box of exercise books to a kind-hearted child in his previous life. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Uncle Xu was overjoyed. This undoubtedly solved a problem for him. He had no worries when the women in his family could be properly settled.

"Cijiu, thanks to you. Dad knew that letting you study was the most correct thing he had done

in his life."

Xu Cijiu was a little embarrassed: "Dad, it's my eldest brother's credit, it has nothing to do

with me."

"Ning Yan?" Uncle Xu looked at his nephew unexpectedly.

After listening to his son's explanation, Uncle Xu said with regret: "Ning Yan, the biggest mistake I made in my life was to send you to practice martial arts."

Uncle Xu now believes that his nephew is a bookworm.

I just used the knowledge I learned in my previous life effectively... Xu Qian'an said in a deep voice: "I have something to tell Uncle. When I just came back, I was followed. Cijiu, how about

you?"

The expressions of the father and son changed.

Xu Xinnian frowned: "Even if I was followed, how would I know?"

He was just a scholar in the enlightenment realm.

Uncle Xu stood up, paced back and forth anxiously, and said in a deep voice: "Ning Yan, you stay in the mansion tonight. We uncle and nephew live closer, so it's easier to take care of you.

"In addition, I will go out later. I will just go to the Imperial Sword Guards and let them strengthen the patrol intensity nearby at night. "

Xu Xinnian and Xu Qi'an looked at each other with heavy hearts.

....

During the meal, Xu Qi'an glanced at his sister Xu Lingyue, who ate elegantly, and coughed to

attract the attention of the family.

He took out a small mahogany box with the three words "Baoqixuan" carved on it from his

arms, and slowly opened the box. This was a finely crafted golden hairpin with a beautifully carved flower on the top, inlaid with pearls, and hanging down a series of slender golden

tassels.

Regardless of the style, the weight of the gold alone made the family look sideways.

Xu Lingyue and her aunt were stunned, and their two pairs of big eyes were fixed on the

golden hairpin.

The golden hairpin, as a kind of jewelry, has always been sought after by the daughters and women of wealthy families because of its fine workmanship and precious materials. Ordinary women cannot afford such good jewelry.

My aunt used to have a carved golden hairpin, which was very precious.

Xu Qi'an is a single man, so he naturally wouldn't buy a golden hairpin for no reason. There

are only two women in the family who are suitable to wear it, and aunt is the mistress of the

family...

Aunt's pretty face bloomed with a smile, and her eyes turned soft: "You still have some

conscience, take it..."

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Qi'an put the golden hairpin in front of Xu Lingyue: "Sister, this is

for you!"

Xu Lingyue opened her eyes wide, a little unbelievable. The jewelry of Baoqixuan is very famous in this area. The workmanship is exquisite and exquisite, and it is very popular among

the girls and women of wealthy families nearby.

"Thank you, big brother." Her beautiful face showed a sincere smile, and her eyes were

curved like a crescent moon.

Aunt's delicate body trembled, her towering chest rose and fell, her eyes were red, and she

questioned Uncle Xu fiercely:

"Tell me, do you want your nephew or me?"

She and this little bastard are irreconcilable.

Uncle Xu glared at his nephew and quickly picked up some food for his wife: "Calm down,

don't bother with this brat."

Xu Qian'an felt a kick on his calf, so he looked up at Xu Xinnian beside him.

Xu Erlang lowered his head to eat.
