16. Chapter Sixteen
A night of chaos and unstoppableness passed by Ying Liu's embarrassment and Su Xiaogang's calmness. However, after the "appointment storm" that night, Su Xiaozhao really revenges that Jin Feibai.
I promised to apologize, and I wouldn't let it go if I don't send the little snow wolf she missed here, but I dared to set fire to the trees in front of her house! Five trees!!
Su Xiaozhao was so angry that he took Ying Liu's sword early in the morning and jumped around and waved: "I, Su Xiaomai, will not avenge this revenge! I'm so crazy!"
Early this morning, news came that Jin Feibai and his group had left after collecting food and grass. At the same time, rumors spread in the town, saying that last night, the Yong family sent a killer to murder Miss Su family who was recuperating in the villa. The nearby families were so scared that they closed the door and dared not go out by the raging fire and swords on the villa last night...
As for the reason, it is not something that everyone has been talking about recently. That day, Miss Su, who was crazy in the Qingming House, embarrassed the son of the right prime minister Yong Hebi on the spot. She couldn't stand the face, so she privately looked for an opportunity to take revenge.
Everyone sighed for a moment, but they didn't expect that Mr. Yong looked humble and polite, but was so narrow-minded and vindictive to take action against a weak woman?
So the people of the Yong family couldn't sit still. It's unreasonable that they could still get into the blame when they sat at home.
"It must be the trick of the envoy of the Jin Feibai, who slandered the reputation of the young master, and was shameless!" Aide Xie Yun said angrily.
Yong Hebi lowered his eyebrows and slowly flipped through the book in his hand. He pondered for a moment after hearing this: "Forget it, his move was not serious, he was just passing by here and saying hello to me."
It was just that they were planning to leave for a few more days to go back to Beijing. Otherwise, as the rumors said, they would seem guilty.
"Prepare your door-to-door gift and go to the villa to visit Miss Su today." He put down the book and ordered in a low voice.
...
"Setting fire in the middle of the night disturbs people's sleep is simply too much!" Miss Su's sharp sword finally successfully cut off three dead leaves. She raised the sword and cursed angrily, "Go to his uncle's Yong Hebi!!"
"Ah? Yong Hebi?" Ying Liu was stunned when he heard this, his face full of inexplicableness.
Isn’t it Jin Feibai who sent someone to assassinate and set fire last night? Why did she scold Yong Hebi?
Ying was stunned for a moment, and the eyebrows moved slightly, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes: "Miss is talking about it."
"Huh? Yingyi, why are you being led by the little madman?"
Ying Yi remained silent.
"He is close to Zhu Zhe Chi. Xiao Ying'er quickly removes your head and doesn't lower the average IQ of both of us."
Ying Liu was angry: "Hey, I understand this sentence!" After following her for a long time, he could guess almost the weird words that occasionally popped up in her mouth. "What kind of riddle are you fighting?" he asked with his heart and lungs.
Su Xiaozhao raised his hand to wipe the sweat, threw away the sword, and supported his hands behind his back to look up at the sky: "Anyway, in their eyes, I am the mountain used to fight cattle across the mountain. Whether it is the Yong family or the prince, I would like to stand there obediently, just hold the name of General Gu's granddaughter and let them use the squeeze."
"Since that's the case, I'll let them have a little happier fight." She stood up, patted the dust on her hands, and raised her lips happily.
"Let them fight each other to heart and lung pain, and then I'm still jumping around to show them. How fun... I'm so happy to see them having fun!"
Ying Liu's scalp numb: It's over, the happier the little madman smiles, the more nervous he becomes?
※※
So, when visiting the villa, Yong and Bi unexpectedly turned away. The reply was: The lady was frightened last night and was not suitable for guests to be on the bed.
As for the gift? Oh, the lady said that the Su family was a famous family in Qinggui, and Mr. Su also served as a civil servant of the Hanlin Bachelor. The matter of receiving gifts is not allowed, it is impossible!
A place of honor will keep people out.
The Yong family's aide turned dark and almost threw the gift he was holding - Qing, Qing's mother's value! Even her father Su Hanlin dared not accept the gift given by his master. What's more, she offended the prince Rui's son and was almost assassinated. Could it be that she shouldn't be in the same camp as them at this time?
So a rioter took a look: Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, even the people and the gifts came back intact. Could it be that they were afraid that they were guarding against the Yong family?
...
Miss Su, who was "lying on the bed in the hospital", was sitting in the school in the town. She resisted the urge to yawn and slowly took out an abacus.
"Today's teaching is not about explaining the meaning of the scriptures, but about teaching you abacus."
Abacus? The school children below looked at each other. In the past, the Master taught all the classics and plans. What is abacus?
"But before class, you have to ask a few questions about what you learned yesterday... Who is Yang Shuo?" Su Xiaozhao asked slowly.
On the front seat, the fat man stood up, blinked his round black eyes, and saluted awkwardly: "Return to Master, the student is Yang Shuo."
Oh, I didn't expect that the little fat man would be so obedient! Su Xiaozhao thought to himself, and asked him a few places without showing any notice. When he saw him answering one by one, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
"Well, it's not bad." She nodded, then took out another smaller abacus, "Then, this abacus will be given to you as a plea."
"Huh?" The little fat man was stunned for a while and then came forward to take it with him in the envious eyes of many children, "Thank you, thank you Master."
Su Xiaozhao nodded, her face still had a cold expression, and she signaled that class would start.
...
After teaching the usage of abacus and the formula for abacus, Su Xiaozhao put down the abacus and suddenly bent his lips. A smile appeared on his cold face, which made the school children below who were already accustomed to the cold face of the New Master were stunned.
"As the saying goes, education is fun, so next, I will teach you another way to play abacus in addition to arithmetic - killing beads."
Ah? What is the Master talking about?
In everyone's slightly widened eyes, Su Xiaozhao cleared his throat and began to break the children's sacred understanding of teaching. He quickly explained the rules of the gameplay of the abacus...
※※
After class, watching the school children walk over and surround the only fat man with abacus, Miss Su blinked herself, prepared her pen and inkstone books, and carried it to leave.
"Little madman." Ying Liu suddenly appeared behind her and asked curiously, "What abacus? Is it from where you came? It sounds like it's much better than planning."
While tearing off the mask, Su Xiaozhao said, "Ah! Whoever uses that old and backward tool is for you kids to play with."
What do they mean? And why do they count him as well?
Ying Liu was angry, but then he remembered that when he didn't know the purpose of the abacus a few days ago, he seemed to be holding a small abacus, and he could have fun alone?
"Then what are you using there? Can arithmetic be faster than abacus?"
Su Xiaozhao glanced at him with a squinted look: "You shouldn't be called Ying Liu, you should be called Ying Hundred Thousand Why."
Ying Liu suddenly blew his beard and stared at him.
He hummed with anger and saw her turning around and leaving, and finally grabbed her: "Wait, little madman, I'll take you to buy something."
"Hmm? Are you paying for money?" Miss Su's first reaction turned around.
...
In the lively market, Ying Liu pulled her down and pointed at a small animal in front of her, saying, "Don't you want to keep a pet?"
"There are no snow wolfs, but these dogs and rabbits seem to be good, right?" He picked up a bird cage with one hand, pointed to the chirping parrot inside, and tried to convince her, "Look, it can speak human language, which is better than any snow wolf, right?"
Su Xiaozhao looked down, with a rare seriousness in his eyes.
After a long time, when Ying Liu felt something was wrong, he saw her hesitantly stretching out her fingers and approaching the parrot in the cage...
"It won't bite people, little madman, what are you afraid of?" Ying Liu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and finally let him get the opportunity to make fun of her.
The hand that was about to touch the feather paused, and the parrot, who had realized it, jumped on its calf and hid in another corner of the cage.
She turned her head, looked at his eyes, and was silent for a moment.
Then she asked, "Can't you bite?"
Ying Liu was stunned.
He had never seen her eyes at this moment, quiet and profound, removing the long-standing treacherousness, like a cracked lake with floating lights, illuminating the deep pool without rippling under the bottomless ice cave-
A total stranger.
"Of course, it won't bite people, it won't..." His mind was frozen, and he didn't even know what he said.
"Oh, forget it, I don't want it."
She withdrew her eyes, blinked at it, and stood up and walked away with distracted interest.
Ying Liu came back to his senses and quickly followed: "Why don't you?"
With his fingers casually surrounding the silk ribbons hanging from his waist, Su Xiaozhao was walking in front and said, "I can't raise that kind of thing..."
"What?" he followed suit and asked.
"I mean, I can't raise the kind of things that I have to rely on to live on." She lowered her head and played with the cold silk ribbon, and half-covered her hair that slipped to her shoulder. "Look, it has confined its life just to please humans. Even if I like to buy it for a while now, who knows how long my love lasts? But if I don't give it food, it will starve to death, if I don't give it water, it will die of thirst, if I don't like it, it will die of moss. I can't raise it."
Ying Liu twitched his lips for the first time. He thought it would be great if Ying Yi was there. He must know what to say to the little madman at this time.
"Or, you can keep it and let it go when you don't like it, wouldn't it be great?" he said, scratching his forehead.
"Let go?" Su Xiaozhao suddenly stood still and laughed. The laughter seemed to have changed slightly, "...so I hate you the most. Why do you want to let go? Since I have raised it at the beginning, I will keep it going. If I don't like it, I will hold it in my mouth."
"...Little madman, what's wrong with you?" Chi Ruying Liu also realized her difference. He hurried forward, walked around her, and said anxiously, "Okay, you can raise whatever you want, and don't raise what you don't want, listen to you."
“…”
"Puff!" Su Xiaozhao suddenly raised his lips and laughed, raised his head, and looked into his nervous eyes, with the harsh and naughty stars in his eyes, "I'll wait for you for so long, I'll wait for you, Xiaoyinger."
"I agreed that after returning to Beijing, the three of us will form a 'wolf stealing team'!" She clenched her fists and hit Ying Liu, who was stunned, "steal him, Jin Feibai's naked egg!"
"Uh?Huh??!!"
He was cheated again???
"Su Wuque, you--" Ying Liu's nose bulged in an instant, and he almost smoked. When Su Xiaozhao thought he was about to jump again, he snorted from his nose, collapsed his shoulders and said, "Okay, little madman, I lost to you."
