PS: Thank you for your 50,000 gold coins once and for all! Congratulations on becoming the first leader of "The World of Heaven"! We can also be considered as the founding of the sect?
At the same time, I would like to thank Duan Xuefeng, Lao Mu, Doutian, for laughing about the ages, Chuncun, gradually dreaming with the wind, commander of the Jinyiwei, Yang Yang, Yao Xia, Shi Tou 008 and others for your great love. Your long-term rewards have moved the emperor. Thank you!
Finally, the emperor continued to ask for recommendation votes and rewards. It seems that these are the two most important data on the popularity list. Please! Please!
******************************
The third concubine quickly asked the two maids to chase after him, stood at the door and looked at Wu Ming's tall figure turning around the corner of the house, and couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Ming gave her a very good impression. Although she was indifferent, she was definitely not rude. The word thank you subconsciously said was surprising. She suddenly felt that Wu Ming was just like Wang Yuehan said, a deep man with a well-educated and story-making man, a cold-hearted and well-educated person.
But this judgment seems to be incompatible with Wu Ming's poor and humble background, his ruthless killing and his ruthless behavior of seeking revenge, which made the third concubine deeply confused for a moment. Logically speaking, Wu Ming has been growing up in the poor and remote Wujia Village in the west of the Shangong Mountain. He dropped out of school after only two years. He should not have such a profound and courageous demeanor!
In confusion, the two little maids ran over and reported: "Three Madam, when he arrived at the courtyard, he waved us fiercely and didn't want us to serve. We didn't dare to go far. We stood outside waiting for his command. When we heard a burst of water, we hurried in to look. Unexpectedly, he was standing naked by the well to wash cold water. It was so shameful!"
"Oh my God! It's such a cold day."
The third concubine opened her mouth in surprise and whispered for a while: "Don't be afraid, he is not an unreasonable evil person, as he pleases. Since he doesn't want you to serve you, come back. Quickly clean up the table in the room and light a few big candles. The eldest young master's bedroom should also light it, clean it up, and be respectful to him. Do you understand? I'll come when I go."
"Understood."
Half an hour later, Wu Ming returned to the room with a gun holster. Seeing the third concubine and Chen Jiyao sitting at the Eight Immortals table drinking tea, he couldn't help but stop.
Chen Jiyao and the third concubine saw Wu Ming, who was more upright in a young outfit, quickly stood up, eyes full of hope.
Wu Ming walked to the opposite side of them and sat down, put the belt with the gun on the table. The two little maids immediately brought new black-faced plastic-sole cloth shoes, socks and dry towels, and wanted to wipe Wu Wei's feet to serve him. Wu Ming grabbed the towel and waved his hand to let the two maids take off, dry their feet slowly, put on thick and warm cotton socks, and felt very comfortable when putting on the shoes and stomping on them, then raised his head and pushed away his long wet hair.
"It's very late, let's leave tomorrow. Don't worry, the master has already given instructions, and no one at home goes out to chew around." The third concubine smiled with concern.
Wu Ming couldn't figure out where he was going and where he was going? And when things reached this point, he didn't worry about safety at all. He just felt that he was out of place with this family and didn't feel embarrassed at all. Although he seemed to be a little inexplicable in his heart, from the moment he put away the gun, he seemed to have seen everything away.
The third concubine slowly put a cup of hot tea in front of Wu Ming. Wu Ming nodded slightly but did not pick it up. He pointed to the plate of gold bars and ocean on the table next to him and spoke: "Those gold and silver counts, it's no less than five thousand oceans, right?"
Chen Jiyao looked at the plate of gold and silver, his eyes full of soreness and pain.
Unexpectedly, Wu Ming continued: "I know that the Chen family has thousands of acres of land, mountains and forests, six lime kilns outside the town, there are also a yard and several street shops in the city, and there are shares in the largest coal mine in Guangfeng. It is rich and glorious. But I also know that in the town where your ancestors lived for generations, the only school only charges one yuan and five yuan a year, but few poor children can afford it. Now, you, the mayor, are willing to give me so much money, which makes me flattered!"
Chen Jiyao was very surprised and looked at Wu Ming blankly, feeling particularly complicated.
The third concubine was shocked for a long time and wanted to say a few beautiful words to ease the atmosphere. Wu Ming had already stood up, picked up the gun on the table and entered the north bedroom, without any restraint or scruples. It seemed that this place was his own place.
Wu Ming entered the room, took off his shirt and tied his belt, and felt that it was inappropriate to expose a large part of the gun holster outside, so he simply took it off and threw it onto the desk.
After sliding the gun holster, it knocked down a small frame. Wu Ming hurried over and helped it up, saw the soldiers' appearance in the photo frame, and then he calmed down.
Chen Jiyao and the third concubine looked at each other. When the third concubine saw Wu Ming picking up the photo frame on the desk in the inner room and looking at the candlelight for a long time, she whispered in Chen Jiyao's ear.
Chen Jiyao looked at the inner room, sighed dejectedly, stood up and left silently with the third concubine.
The two returned to their bedroom. It was already late at night after washing up. Chen Jiyao, who was lying on the bed, sighed one after another, and could not sleep. When the third concubine in a cotton robe came in, she immediately asked anxiously: "How is that ancestor?"
The third concubine threw away her cotton robe and climbed onto the bed, gently massaged her husband's temples: "I heard from the little girl guarding outside the house that he was not asleep yet. She has been looking through the books and letters left by An'er. She also picked up An'er's photos from time to time and looked at them again and again. Oh! You said, if An'er was still alive, could they become good brothers?"
Chen Jiyao's body suddenly stiffened, and he pushed away the third concubine's hand and burst into tears: "He looks too much like An'er, so much like him! If he wasn't so cold and shaved off the stubble on his face, I guess I would have regarded him as An'er!"
"Master, don't be sad. Didn't you notice that his attitude has improved a lot? Who dared to think that he would show mercy before? In my opinion, things are not that bad, maybe he will slowly figure it out. After all, you are his biological father! And if he killed Butler Wang, it can be considered avenge for his mother. No matter what, he will not do anything that is harmful to the world. Master, you should think about the benefits." The third concubine gently comforted her husband.
Chen Jiyao nodded silently, put away his tears and pondered for a moment: "You said, can he understand the books left by An'er? Just now, he mentioned the issue of studying for poor children in the town in front of me. This is not simple. Who would ordinary people think of this? Is he so angry when he thinks of his past?"
The third concubine was energetic and approached her husband and said earnestly: "Master, I think he is right. In the early years, didn't you always donate money to support education in the village and the county? Since you received the bad news from An'er, you have not recovered and have not visited the school in the town in the past few years. Master, if you can, let's donate some money to support poor children in the town and around you. This is a good thing to cultivate good deeds. It's better to make the villagers in the village grateful to you than to spend money elsewhere, right?"
"Well, it seems that I've been really confused over the past few years!" Chen Jiyao nodded, and thought of Wu Ming in the West Courtyard: "I'm afraid he's leaving tomorrow. I really want to talk to him. No matter how you say it's all my flesh and blood!"
The third concubine was very troubled by Wu Ming's cold attitude, so she had to whisper to comfort her husband and lie down to serve her husband, thinking that she would think of a way tomorrow morning and let her husband and Wu Ming and his son say a few words. Otherwise, when Wu Ming left, she would not know when it would take to meet and when it would be possible to completely settle this grudge.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Jiyao heard the gentle voice of the third housekeeper’s master, and trembled and quickly got up. He ran to open the door without wearing his shoes, and found that it was already dawn.
The third master handed a letter with both hands: "Brother, he left. No one knew when he left. It was so scary. I went into the east room to check it and found that this piece was left on the desk. After reading it, I realized that he sold the spear and bullet to us for a price of 100 yuan. I went over and counted, and there was exactly one hundred oceans missing in the pallet."
Chen Jiyao took the note tremblingly. The third concubine had already set up matches inside and lit the candle. Chen Jiyao hurriedly put the note in the candlelight. After reading it, he put down the note and sighed to the sky: "Are he unwilling to forgive me!"
The third concubine brought the coat and cotton shoes for her husband to put on. She picked up the notes and read them carefully. After reading them, she looked at her sad husband worriedly, and felt a lot of emotion for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Chen Jiyao waved his hand gently and signaled the third master to leave. He walked back to the bed with a heavy step. He stood for a long time and seemed to suddenly think of it. He actually said something very surprising in the worried eyes of the third concubine: "This handwriting is beautiful! I wondered, how could he write such beautiful words?"
The third concubine really didn't know how to answer. She kept comforting her husband and didn't think too much. The two sat on the edge of the bed and started talking in a low voice.
After a while, the third master's voice came from outside the door again: "Brother, Master Chengzong from Longhu Mountain suddenly came, and asked me if I was in good health. I don't know what to say, so I had to take Master Chengzong to the living room of the middle hall to wait."
Chen Jiyao hurriedly walked out and went to the middle hall with the third master.
Chengzong, who was covered in mist and looked uneasy, finally spoke with confidence when he saw Chen Jiyao's safety and safety.
After asking each other for peace, Chengzong took out the letter from Master Bingzhen. Chen Jiyao hurriedly read it and asked Chengzong to sit down, and told the matter up and down in detail. Chengzong's face changed a lot and felt very moved.
After drinking half a cup of hot tea, Chengzong shook his head and sighed: "My nephew is still late, and he has no fate to see Brother Wu again. Alas! But it is a blessing, and it has not caused any greater tragic incident. I believe that Uncle Master is just like me, and I am glad for Uncle Master Chen!"
Chen Jiyao was also deeply touched: "Yes, yes! I should be glad! At least there was no tragedy between father and son, and the sky finally had eyes!"
Chengzong comforted a few words of harmony, and after finishing his face, he said with regret: "Brother Wu is very knowledgeable, has a strong sense of intelligence, is determined by nature, and has a clear distinction between good and evil. He will never know when he will meet again when he leaves. It's a pity! However, Brother Wu has survived a wave of disasters, and he will definitely be able to ride the wind and waves. To be honest, Uncle Chen, when my uncle sent me down the mountain, he predicted that Brother Wu is the only genius he has seen in his life. If he can abandon his inner demons, his future will be limitless!"
Chen Jiyao widened his eyes and stared at Chengzong who was becoming more and more mature. The light of expectation flashed in his eyes, as if he had become several years younger in an instant.
