Perhaps realizing that he was losing his temper, Zhang Ling hurriedly stopped his hand and replied with a demure look, saying: "He Qizhou, don't see me outside. My aunt doesn't treat you as an outsider. How you are usually at home is no longer the same now. Official
, don’t lower your head so low when eating.”
Xu Qinghan put down the bowl and chopsticks, as if he breathed a sigh of relief. The mother and daughter had been acting in such a terrifying manner all afternoon, something they hadn't seen in several years.
"Someone has been spreading rumors about Shangguan Qiudi. Today I wanted to ask her in person, but I didn't expect that she hasn't seen me yet!" Xu Mu still had a knot in his heart, which made the already harmonious situation tense again.
"I really just sat there all night that day." He Qizhou said with a bitter smile. It was true that he could not prove his innocence.
"Boy, I believe you, Yang Zheng never lies." Zhang Ling said.
This time it was Xu Qinghan's turn to look ugly.
"If Yang Zheng doesn't lie, some people will believe him, but he doesn't lie? Shi Lan would have thought it was a joke when he heard it." Xu Mu also started teasing, but when He Qizhou heard it, it was obvious that he had lost his temper, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Hey, stop being so silent. You don't even know how to say a few words when a guest comes." Zhang Ling nudged Xu Qinghan beside her with her elbow.
"You talk a lot. Look, I've almost finished a bowl of rice. Has He Qizhou even taken a bite?" Xu Qinghan complained.
"Eat, eat, Xiao Ping, why don't you say anything? Don't be stunned, hurry up and eat." Zhang Lingsu waved her hand, and everyone started to move their chopsticks.
"The lady didn't let me say..."
"Well, let's talk about it after dinner." Zhang Ling also knew that Xiao Ping was the only one in the family who never left Young Master Xiao.
He Qizhou took the opportunity to ask again about the two female assassins. The matter was so important that although Zhang Ling had several suspects, she did not dare to speculate rashly and promised to tell He Qizhou after a detailed investigation.
Xu Qinghan's house is really not that big. Although it has three courtyards and two courtyards like Liu Jun's house, its size is less than half that of other people's houses. The slightly larger front yard is overgrown with weeds and seedlings are not neat.
An exquisite lake stone in a small pond shows the style of an official family.
"This stone was given by my grandfather when my father bought a house." Xu Muxue walked side by side with He Qi in the boat yard.
"It is indeed a good stone with hundreds of orifices. The Liu family's house in our village is full of such stones." He Qizhou agreed.
Xiaoxue asked: "Are you full?"
He Qizhou replied: "I'm full. Very full. How about you?"
“Very full too.”
"Then walk a few more laps."
"oh"
Xiao Ping, who was following the two of them, suddenly said sharply: "How many times have you walked around this small garden? Are you still full?"
"Xiao Ping, if you are tired from walking, you can go back to the house first." Xiaoxue turned around and said.
"I'm not tired. I'm also very full. Let's go for a walk. He Qizhou, I'm warning you, don't get so close to the lady!" Xiao Ping rolled her eyes and said angrily. The lady was tired yesterday and didn't even say a few words to herself.
, I originally wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with my lady today, but Jiang Damin came in the afternoon, and now He Qizhou, who is even more hateful, made me unable to talk, and even walked around the small pond hundreds of times in vain!
"Can you let me see your hair?" He Qizhou ignored Xiao Ping and asked Xiaoxue in a low voice.
"No!" Xiaoxue and Xiaoping shouted at the same time.
"How about we talk somewhere else?" He Qizhou asked.
"I don't want to change my appearance at night, and I don't want to go out on the street like this." Xu Muxue said.
"Just go there!" He Qizhou pointed to the strange rocks in the pond.
"Okay!" Xu Mu smiled slyly, and jumped to the top of the strange stone with a slight click.
He Qizhou jumped immediately. Although his internal strength had only recovered 30%, he could still jump over a three-foot-wide pond.
The two of them stood on a strange rock that was more than one foot high. Because there was not much room for a foothold, when He Qizhou jumped on it, he naturally held Xiaoxue's hand.
"You guys! You're so angry with me!" Xiao Ping stamped her feet. Not to mention that she couldn't jump up, even if she could jump up, there would be no place to stand. She could only sit angrily on the stone by the pool, staring at
Two people on a strange rock.
"Just let me take a look?" He Qizhou and Xu Mu also sat down side by side.
"Okay!" Xu Mu untied his turban. His black hair was more than three inches long, and his dead hair was about six or seven inches long. Because dead hair fell out from time to time, the loose hair looked a bit messy.
"Why does it grow so slowly?" He Qizhou asked.
"Why are you anxious? As long as it grows, it will be fine." Xu Mu smiled slightly, revealing his charming little tiger teeth in the moonlight.
"Why do I feel like I'm sitting by a hot spring in the Altai Mountains?" He Qizhou couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
"Hey, I feel the same way," Xiaoxue said. The two of them had not been so close for a long time, and they both recalled the days when they were so close together.
"It would be great if we could soak in the hot springs together." He Qizhou looked up at the moonlight.
"He Qizhou! What are you talking about? The outer city is about to be closed, and you still haven't gone back!" Xiao Ping was angry and anxious.
"Xiao Ping, don't get me wrong. I'll tell you later. If we hadn't bathed in the hot springs in the mountain, we would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago." Xiaoxue said to Xiao Ping softly.
He Qizhou said: "I won't leave the city today!"
"We don't have any spare guest rooms at home! The young master doesn't like to share a room with others!" Xiao Ping was still furious.
Xiaoxue said: "He is staying in Prince Ning's Mansion today, Xiaoping, don't rush him. He Qizhou, you'd better leave early, otherwise you will be laughed at by Li Ruogu again."
"Okay, if you ask your uncle and aunt for help, I won't bother you." He Qizhou said.
"Um."
"When will you cut off all those dry hair?"
"No!" Xu Muxue said firmly.
When the two of them jumped to the other side of the pond, Xu Muxue whispered in He Qizhou's ear: "One day, I want you to help me hinge."
He Qizhou somewhat understood what Xiaoxue meant, his heart surged, and he said excitedly: "It's a deal!"
Seeing Xiao Ping walking around the pond quickly, Xiao Xue said: "Xiao Ping, ask Mu Feng to send congratulations to Qi Zhou."
"I'm not going, I want He Qizhou to do it himself."
"How can a guest ask someone to send him off?"
"Don't go then either!"
"Okay, Xiaoxue, let's go sit on the rock for a while." He Qizhou really didn't want to leave so early.
"I'm going, I'm going, let's go now!" Xiao Ping hurriedly ran to the inner courtyard, shouting "Master, Master" as she ran.
"You eat too little, get fat quickly!" Seeing Xiao Ping walking away, He Qizhou hurriedly took Xiaoxue's hands with both hands.
"You're really getting fat, so you should go find Chun Xia Qiu." Xiaoxue's face was slightly hot, and she lowered her head and buried it in He Qizhou's chest.
"Even if you are as fat as a pig, I will still look for you." He Qizhou was excited and spoke indiscriminately. In exchange, he was stepped on hard by Xu Muxue.
"My brother is here, ask him to take you to Prince Ning's Mansion." Both of them heard the footsteps coming from the inner courtyard, and He Qizhou was gently pushed away by Xiaoxue.
"I heard that the peach blossoms in Xishan are blooming..."
"Shh... keep your voice down. Remember to come early tomorrow. Let's go to the Privy Council first." After saying that, Xu Mu turned around and held Xiao Ping's hand, who was running close to her. The two of them walked to the inner courtyard together, arm in arm.
"Sister Xiaoping, I'll see you next time." He Qizhou finally said hello to the great god, and received a fierce "Huh!" in return.
…
In the study room in the inner courtyard, Xu Qinghan said with an aggrieved look: "I don't dare to tell your father, otherwise you should go alone."
"Aren't you afraid that I won't be scolded enough?" Zhang Ling shouted with her hands on her hips.
"What should we do?"
"Tell the little girl to talk to grandpa herself."
Xu Qinghan said: "I asked, and she said she won't go, and whoever proposes the marriage will be asked to withdraw."
Zhang Ling frowned and said, "Oh, this matter is really difficult to handle. The Xiao family went to see my father again."
"Isn't there an old lady? He loves Xiaoxue the most."
"I don't care anyway. At worst, I'll go out with you to supervise work."
"good idea."
…
"Uncle, let's go then." Zhang Mufeng said with a smile.
"Brother Mu Feng, I'm going to get angry if you keep seeing strangers like this! We, Jinshi, in the same class, should treat each other as brothers. From now on, you can call me Brother He, or senior brother." He Qizhou said with a straight face.
"Okay, uncle."
"What do you mean? Can you give me some face?" He Qizhou was a little anxious.
"Then I'd better call you Senior Brother." Zhang Mufeng is honest after all.
"That's pretty much it. Come on, let's talk while we walk. Has your master officially taken over?" He Qizhou then smiled and said.
"Well, I officially took over as the head coach half a year ago. I heard that my master went to wander around again. I guess most of them went to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to find you." Zhang Mufeng said.
"Oh. I told you that you are really bad. Last year, I was lying in bed so pitiful. You didn't even want to tell me that your sister was Xu Mu! You wanted to see me make a fool of yourself, right?"
"No way? You also know my sister's temper..."
"Forget it, forget it, I don't dare to offend you anyway even if I have hatred in my heart. By the way, are the six meridians opened?" He Qizhou asked, still very satisfied with the fact that he had two more meridians opened within a year.
"Two months after the martial arts examination, I will reach the sixth meridians. Now I am almost at the upper level. By the way, Senior Brother He, please give me some guidance when you have time."
"Can you give me some advice on the Sanqing Palm?" He Qizhou, who originally wanted to show off, blushed a little because the other party entered the country so quickly.
"I heard from sister that you also have six meridians, which is amazing!" Zhang Mufeng said sincerely.
"Yumen Xiaozhu must be Xiao Jihuai's troublemaker. Let's not believe those rumors, okay? I don't care what outsiders say." He Qizhou thought of an important thing, and he really thought of himself as "
"My wife", with the support of my brother-in-law, the resistance will be much less.
"I didn't believe it at first." Zhang Mufeng laughed.
He Qizhou suddenly realized that his brother-in-law was definitely a hundred times more handsome than Xiao Jihuai!
…
In Prince Ning's palace, Li Zhong's vacancy was replaced by eight guards sent by King Tuyuhun. Although there were more people, He Qizhou felt that the palace was more deserted.
After being welcomed into the mansion and seeing Li Ruogu's overjoyed look, He Qizhou knew that the prince's life must not have been very happy in the past year.
