Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Aunt: Humph, this little bastard still has a conscienceAuntie was angry, her beautiful face was covered with frost, the kind that was hard to coax.

Uncle Xu's scalp was numb, and he complained: "Ning Yan, it would be great if you had money to subsidize the family, why buy these flashy things?"

He planned to find a sense of identity with his wife by dissing his nephew and dispel her anger.

Xu Lingyue said lightly: "The family is not short of food and clothing, and Daddy's meal also includes the salary of his eldest brother."

Uncle Xu was choked by his daughter and couldn't speak, so he changed the subject again: "Ning Yan, where did you get the money?"

Xu Qian'an said: "I saw that the jewelry on my sister's head was too cheap, so I kept it in mind, tightened my clothes and diet, and saved some money. In addition, Baoqixuan had a half- price game of guessing riddles..."

It's not good to say that the jewelry was bought for free. He didn't want to be like Xu Cijiu, a social death.

Xu Lingyue's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly, and her heart softened immediately, staring at Xu Qi'an with eyes full of smiles.

In this family, only the eldest brother put her at the top of his heart, and his father and second brother never thought there was anything wrong with her wearing cheap jewelry.

Girls also need to look good.

"Brother, does it look good?" She inserted the golden hairpin into her bun, and the

candlelight reflected the girl's pointed face, delicate features, black and bright eyes, and vivid colors.

Aunt became more jealous.

Xu Qi'an also jealous, he glanced at Xu Erlang on the left, the little brother was wearing a navy blue robe, his black and beautiful long hair was tied up with a green jade hairpin, his lips were red and his teeth were white, handsome and unparalleled.

He looked at the sister who was shining after wearing the golden hairpin, and the plump and beautiful aunt.

The appearance of the whole family has been kissed by angels, and I am just ordinary?

When he saw the silly little boy who looked like Uncle Xu, he was no longer jealous.

"Come, Lingyin, eat meat." Xu Qian'an picked up a piece of fat meat for her and a piece of lean meat for Xu Lingyue.

"Brother is so nice."

"Brother likes you the most."

"Then why didn't brother save me just now?" The little boy remembered that brother not only didn't save her just now, but also laughed loudly.

"Only those who endure hardships can become the best, and only by enduring hardships can you become an invincible master."

"Then is there anyone who can be invincible without enduring hardships?"

"Yes, in a dream."

When the meal was almost finished, the aunt said lightly: "After the New Year, Ning Yan will be twenty years old."

"Oh, aunt actually still remembers my age." Xu Qian'an was surprised.

Auntie ignored him arrogantly and turned to Uncle Xu and said, "Master, we have to find a marriage for Ning Yan."

Xu Lingyue and Xu Xinnian raised their heads at the same time and stared at their mother.

Xu Qian'an was the slowest to react. He was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, and then he was in disbelief.

The unlucky auntie actually cared about the marriage of my nephew. Will the sun rise from the west tomorrow?

You know, marrying a daughter-in-law is a very grand thing. Three books, six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs are all silver.

Auntie glanced at her unlucky nephew and continued, "I think Lu'e is good. She was raised in the mansion since she was a child, and she and Ning Yan are childhood sweethearts."

And it doesn't cost much... Auntie is still Auntie...

The cute Lu'e said "ah", her cheeks flushed, and she was a little at a loss.

Love came too fast like a tornado, blowing her away.

In her heart, she was shy and embarrassed, but also had a hint of joy.

Xu Lingyue glanced at the maid who looked dull in front of her, and was a little unhappy, "Mom, don't make decisions on your own. Let the eldest brother discuss his marriage with his second uncle."

The subtext was, what position do you hold in the eldest brother's heart? Don't you know it yourself?

The aunt was resentful of her daughter for taking the hairpin away, and scolded, "Ning Yan and Lu'e are a perfect match, and they know each other well. How can you, a sister, object?"

Xu Lingyue turned her head away in grievance.

No, no, knowing each other well is too much, it hasn't reached that point yet... Xu Qian'an was about to express his opinion when he heard the younger brother beside him speak.

Xu Xinnian said, "Mom thinks that if Lu'e marries the eldest brother, she can avoid the bride price and have a reason to let the eldest brother move out to live."

A hit.

Auntie said angrily: "You, child, have never been able to speak since childhood."

Uncle Xu made the final judgment: "Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about this. Ning Yan will not be close to women until he enters the Qi training realm."

Lu'e looked disappointed and lowered her head.

Except for the wife who had served her since childhood, the whole family seemed to oppose her marrying Dalang.

...

After dinner, Uncle Xu went to the Imperial Sword Guard, and then discussed tomorrow's affairs with his nephew and son in the study.

When he returned to the room, he saw his wife sitting by the bed, looking angry.

"You are so angry that you are still angry now." Uncle Xu said helplessly.

Auntie turned her head and stared at her beautiful eyes: "Your little brat has no conscience at all. When I took him from you, he was still as small as a kitten. Who raised him up?

"Just know how to make me angry, just know how to make me angry. Why bother raising him so big? He might as well feed mice."

She was mumbling to herself when she suddenly saw her husband take out a wooden box from his arms and hand it to her. The three words "Baoqixuan" were engraved on the surface of the

wooden box.

Her rosy little mouth opened and she looked at her husband in confusion and astonishment. "Ning Yan asked me to give it to you." Uncle Xu said helplessly: "Anyway, neither of you is willing to admit defeat, and he is embarrassed to give it to you. So he didn't take it out on the

table just now."

Aunt opened the box anxiously, and inside was a golden hairpin that was heavier and more exquisitely crafted than her daughter's.

She held it in her hand as a treasure, walked to the bronze mirror in small steps, sat on the dressing table, and put it on herself.

An oval face makes a woman look dignified, especially after she becomes woman.

A woman with a melon-seed face is delicate, but once she becomes a woman, she is beautiful.

Aunt belongs to the latter.

She stared at herself in the bronze mirror happily and snorted softly: "That little bastard still has some conscience. "

Uncle Xu stood by the window on the other side of the room, staring at the quiet courtyard outside the window with a serious look, holding the standard long sword of the Imperial

Sword Guard.

....

The night was peaceful and peaceful, and Uncle Xu and Xu Qian'an, who had been sleepless all

night, felt relieved.

When she woke up early in the morning, Xu Lingyue was still wearing a single piece of clothing, opened the window, and stretched her beautiful figure in the cool air.

"Miss, what are you looking at by the window?"

"Nothing."

After a while....

"Miss, are you waiting for something?"

"Nothing."

"Miss, come over and dress up."

"I know... you are so annoying."

Uncle Xu left home at dawn and gathered his sword guards. Xu Qian'an went out to rent a

carriage, and Xu Erlang stayed at home to command the servants to prepare the ceremonies.

Around noon, two carriages and dozens of riders left the city gate and headed northwest to where Yunlu Academy was located.

The carriages were not fast, and it took two hours to reach the foot of Qingyun Mountain. The three men of the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Are you too nervous?" Uncle Xu frowned.

Xu Erlang, who was good at military tactics, said slowly: "If the people who followed my

brother yesterday were really from the Zhou Mansion, then they have missed two best

opportunities to attack.

"But it is also possible that in the eyes of Minister Zhou, we are just ants that can be crushed to death at any time, and he is not in a hurry to deal with them. He has bigger troubles." Underestimating the enemy is a taboo in military strategy, but the premise is that both sides are evenly matched, or the difference is not so great.

Compared with the Zhou family, the Xu family is indeed not good enough.

"But there is one thing we must face, that is, if Minister Zhou is not removed, we will surely

die." Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

The little bean's happy laughter interrupted their conversation. She poked her head out from

the curtain and looked at the scenery in the suburbs excitedly.

Xu Lingyin always thought that she was out for fun.

Xu Qi'an was annoyed by her, pointed to the outline of the building of Yunlu Academy in the

distance, and said: "Do you know where that is?"

"I don't know, big brother." Xu Lingyin giggled, her round face looked like an apple.

"That's my second brother's academy." Xu Qi'an said.

The word academy made Xu Lingyin alert, and she looked at her eldest brother.

Xu Qi'an nodded: "We are going to send you to study, and you are not allowed to go home in

the future."

The smile on Xu Lingyin's little face disappeared little by little, and she looked at her eldest

brother in a daze.

She silently shrank back into the carriage, and a few seconds later, the sound of wailing came

from inside.

"Mom, I don't want to go to the academy, I don't want to study, ah ah ah..."

"Stop making so much noise, your elder brother lied to you."

"Why did my elder brother lie to me?"

"Because he is a bastard."

So Xu Qian'an was in a good mood.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, climbing the steps, Xu Qian'an and Xu Cijiu visited

Zhang Shen, but they were greeted by the great scholar Li Mubai.

"Where is the teacher?" Xu Cijiu asked.

"He is in seclusion." Li Mubai glanced at Xu Qian'an and said calmly: "I have arranged a

courtyard for someone." Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xu Cijiu bowed to thank him, and then said: "My sister is in the enlightenment stage, can you

allow her to study in the academy for a while?"

This request is not excessive. If Xu Lingyue wanted to study, the academy would definitely

refuse, and Xu Lingyin was a five-year-old child. In this era, scholars do not reject enlightenment for children, and even advocate such things.

It's just that children from ordinary families can't afford to go to school.

Li Mubai nodded in agreement.

...

Two days passed quickly. In the morning of this day, Xu Cijiu, who was busy entertaining

classmates, Xu Ershu, who was looking for information, and Xu Qian'an, who had not been to the brothel for three consecutive days, gathered in the study.

Lu'e had already accompanied them to Yunlu Academy. None of the three men wanted to

serve tea and water.

For the first time, they summarized the intelligence they had collected and planned to formulate a plan to deal with Zhou Li.
