Chapter 25: Fear of being close to home (please collect and read)

Not long.

Li Yaozu and his wife and Wei Tu, a foreign guest, also sat on the stools at the dining table.

“Brother Wei…”

Li Xingye took the lead in greeting Wei Tu. Instead of calling Wei Tu "Brother Wei", he called Wei Tu "Brother Wei".

And there was no trace of arrogance on his face.

Humble and calm.

The hospitality etiquette is very good.

 Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly had a better impression of Li Xingye. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - no wonder the county gentry flocked to Li Xingye's house to marry the Li family after learning about Li Xingye's county examination results.

If Li Xingye treats him like this, he must be gentle, polite and elegant when talking to those Jin gentry.

“I don’t go home much. I have been studying in the government school, and I don’t see Brother Wei that often. I never thought that Brother Wei would still have great ambitions even though he was living in a lowly household..."

“After I heard my father tell this anecdote, I also admired Brother Wei.”

Li Xingye smiled, raised his hand and pointed his fingers together as he spoke, and bowed to Wei Tuxu during the dinner.

“Brother Wei’s martial arts skills will definitely shine in this county examination. When the time comes..., you and I will go to the city together so that we can take care of you..."

He said sincerely.

Hearing Li Xingye's request, Wei Tu looked slightly stagnant. He didn't know what to say and felt a little embarrassed.

Except for Shan Yangong, he has never communicated with any Confucian scholar in this world. It is really difficult for him to tell whether Li Xingye's enthusiasm is just right or too much.

It would be good if he could go with Li Xingye to Fucheng, but he didn't want to bear any more "care" from the Li family.

If he wasn't short of money this time and Xinghua was at Li's house again..., he didn't really want to knock on the door of Li's house.

“Master’s eldest son has a school in Fucheng and his house is spacious…”

“When I left the Shan family, Brother Yan Gong asked me to stay at his place when I went to take the imperial examination, so I wouldn’t bother Brother Xingye anymore.”

Wei Tu thought for a moment, shook his head, and said arrogantly.

The voice fell.

The smile on Li Xingye's face was slightly stiff, and it didn't relax until he heard what Li Yaozu said later.

Hearing this, Li Yaozu said: "Shan Xiucai has been living in Fucheng for a long time. Brother Wei leaves the Shan family. With Shan Xiucai's character, he will definitely let Brother Wei stay with him..."

“I was reckless.”

“I hope Brother Wei won’t be offended.”

Li Xingye didn't know whether his father's words were to give him a way out, or if he was telling the truth, but he didn't show any concern about the matter during the dinner.

After the food is served on the table.

The people in the restaurant were silent and adhered to the etiquette of "no words when eating and no words when sleeping".

…

Have dinner at home.

Wei Tu did not stay in the inner house for a long time without looking at him. After clasping his fists and saluting, he left the inner house under the leadership of the maid Chunlan.

When he was about to walk out of the inner house, Wei Tu seemed to hear something. He paused slightly and looked up at the straight and towering ancient cypress planted deep in the inner house.

The courtyard wall covered the main trunk of the ancient cypress, but its lush branches and leaves overcame the corrugations and popped up, swaying slightly in the moonlight.

Wei Tu shook his head, then a relieved and relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he stepped out of the courtyard door.

After successfully cultivating health, his ears and eyesight were sharp, and his hearing was far better than that of ordinary people.

Otherwise, when I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives, I wouldn’t have discovered Zheng soldiers massacring Baiyang County swordsmen outside the inn at night.

Wei Tu heard this, and the ancient cypress in the inner house was kicked hard.

As for the origin of this kick, according to his guess, it was probably the humble and polite Li Xingye just now.

“The son is the father…”

“This is true.”

Wei Tu thought.

…

Come to the front house of Li's house.

In the main room where Wei Tu lived half a year ago, he saw the apricot blossom standing in front of the door with a light.

“Brother Wei…”

“You, you’re back…”

Seeing Wei Tu, Xinghua was not excited and stepped forward to hug the man she had known since childhood. She raised her feet and then retreated. She looked down, seemingly through the purple woolen jacket, and saw Wei Tu's shirtless upper body.

More than half a year later, Xinghua could see that Wei Tu's chest muscles were firmer, a little bigger than when he left home, and his waistline was also a little wider. The stitches he had sewn by himself had been taken apart and repeated, and the stitches were more precise...

familiar.

And unfamiliar.

Especially Wei Tu’s aura of vigorous martial arts is breathtaking.

After seeing it, most people will be frightened and stay aside.

When he speaks, he can't help but be a little more kind and use words more modestly.

Xinghua was sure that she was also afraid of the aura on Wei Tu's body. After all, she was a weak woman who had never seen any well-known house maids.

Wei Tu stopped in the courtyard. He saw Xinghua taking half a step back and the timid look in her eyes after seeing him.

“Eating in the inner house is too polite. I haven’t eaten enough. Are there any unbaked pancakes in the house?”

"Take a few and get me some bath water. It's been a day's journey."

Wei Tu ordered the apricot blossoms in the tone of ordering a maid.

Hearing these words, Xinghua, who was standing in front of the door, felt slightly disappointed, but at the same time, she seemed to feel that she was no longer useless by Wei Tu's side.

At least she can be a rough servant maid, serving her husband who is expected to take military leave.



Xinghua is resigned to the situation.

got used to.

She turned around and walked towards the door to find the dough that had been baked in the kitchen a quarter of an hour ago.

However.

at this time.

Wei Tu quietly walked up behind her and pinched her butt.

Xinghua's face suddenly turned red, and she turned around and glared at Wei Tu who was standing in front of her, with a look of displeasure on her face.

This time, Wei Tu pinched her **** much harder than before.

"Wash yourself well and wait for me on the bed. I've been suffocating at Shan's house for a long time."

Wei Tu said shameful words that made people blush without any hesitation.

“You eat first.”

Xinghua stuffed the hot pancake into Wei Tu's arms, stamped her feet, and walked out of the main room, obediently running to the maids' bathroom to take a shower.

“Probably…”

“This is Xinghua’s shyness in the countryside...”

Wei Tu looked at Xinghua’s leaving figure, shook his head, and thought.

He and Xinghua are different after all. They have received modern education. Xinghua thinks that she can’t deceive his eyes by hiding her deep thoughts.

at this time.

Xinghua is afraid of him.

What makes her timid is that she is afraid that when he becomes famous, he will no longer recognize her as a poor wife.

After half an hour.

Xinghua walked into the main room. She deliberately shrank her head and buried her neck, which was red from the soap, so that Wei Tu would not see her.

Her worries were in vain.

Wei Tu closed the door and blew out the candles, then picked her up and threw her on the quilt.

Lean less.

Be turned over by the red wave.

The bed swayed.

At midnight, the two of them half woke up from exhaustion and hugged each other tightly, no longer feeling unfamiliar as they had been a few hours ago.

“Brother Wei…”

Xinghua opened her eyes, kissed Wei Tu on the forehead, and continued to sleep contentedly.
