Nightwatcher

PS: I was actually a little panicked, because the manuscripts I have saved have been completely used up today. After that, you have to cash in every day. Although I have been free for half a year, I have been writing extra stories. Later, the episode stopped, and I was so angry that I made the world view and the character setting. Tens of thousands of words were wasted at the beginning.

When it's on the shelves, I will pay back the leader's additions every day, and don't count on the release of explosive updates.

It's not a lie, after all, more updates means more subscriptions, there is no way, who doesn't want to spend more money, right?

My aunt was frantically dissing her nephew, when she heard the housekeeper's shout, she raised her voice and responded, "I came back when I came back, do you want me to greet you?"

The housekeeper stomped anxiously: "Ma'am, Miss Lingyin has blood on her body, Miss Lingyue seems to have just cried, Master and Erlang also look ugly, and Dalang hasn't come back, something must have happened."

There was a "ping-pong" sound in the room, as if something had been knocked over, and then came the concerned voices of the maids and women: "Ma'am"

"Go away!" My aunt rushed out, holding her skirt up, and ran to the front hall with an anxious expression on her face.

The aunt ran back to the front hall in a hurry, with tears in her eyes, and saw her husband holding the young girl with a solemn face, the latter was unconscious, almost crying.

"It's okay, I just fell asleep." Xu Pingzhi said in advance to stabilize her mood, and handed the young girl to his wife by the way:

"You send her back to her room to sleep."

The aunt hugged her daughter tightly, and looked at the eldest daughter for a few more times. She was sure that she was fine, and she was relieved, but she didn't leave, crying: "What's going on, go out for a while, why is it like this."

Xu Lingyue cried again immediately.

Xu Pingzhi let out a breath, and told his wife what happened this morning in detail.

When my aunt heard that Xu Lingyue was molested by the evil young master, her brows stood on end, she was very angry. Hearing that Xu Lingyin was almost trampled by a horse's hoof, her face turned pale, and she hugged her little daughter tightly, fearing that she would die.

When she learned that Xu Qi'an saved the two daughters and was injured because of it, she was stunned.

When she heard that her nephew was taken to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she firmly grabbed her husband's hand, her face turned pale: "Ning banquet him, he..."

"It's okay, he's already come out. This matter is settled for the time being." Xu Pingzhi patted his wife's hand and comforted him.

"Look, if it wasn't for Ning Yan this time, Lingyue and Lingyin would be in danger. He has a stubborn temper, but he treats his family well. How can an ordinary person work so hard for our daughter?"

"You always look down on him, think he spends a lot of money in martial arts, think it's okay to drag him up and say a few words about him, think his words are not pleasant, and always fight against you."

"But have you ever thought about him? Is it really that easy to live in a fence for twenty years? Is he not sensitive?"

"Women are short-sighted. They like to hear what they say, but they don't look at what they do. Lingyue was bullied, and he was able to rush forward to fight with others. Fortunately, there was no danger this time. If Ning Yan really couldn't come back Are you really not distressed?"

As Xu Lingyue listened, the tears flowed down again, sobbing uncontrollably. I feel that I have to repay my elder brother well in my life.

Aunt "I" sniffed and lowered her head to cry.

Xu Nian looked at his mother who had always been strong, but now his eyes were full of fear and regret, and his heart moved.

Although he always called that guy "gold-swallowing beast" and "unlucky guy" one by one, in fact, my mother still put her big brother at ease.

After all, after nearly twenty years of raising her, she also developed feelings.

Xu Pingzhi glanced at his son, and snorted again: "If it were your son who accompanied him, this time he would not be kidnapped and bullied."

Xu Erlang: "???"

After handing over the younger daughter to the maid who took care of her in the mansion, and comforting the eldest daughter, the aunt went back to the house with a heavy heart.

She glanced at the maids and women who were rushing to make winter clothes, and suddenly said: "Lu'e, reduce the winter clothes of the master and Erlang by one piece each, and measure Dalang's size when he comes back."

Lu'e looked up in surprise, unbelievable: "Madam changed her mind?"

The aunt snorted: "In your eyes, am I that kind of mean aunt?"

You are, all the maids and women in the room thought so at the same time.

Xu Qi'an left Guanxing Building, rented a carriage on the street, and returned to Xu's residence after an hour.

When I took a bath with hot water, I found that the wound on my waist was almost healed.

I smeared some gold sore medicine on myself, returned to the room, rubbed the ink, wrote hundreds of words of chemical knowledge, and started to write a diary again according to the habit.

"November 16th is a day worth remembering, because I finally decided to give up the simple and boring life of the rich. I need power and force. I have two thoughts on this:

One, change the path of practice and follow Confucianism and Taoism. As long as I feel comfortable with the two great scholars, I believe they will fully support me. It's much better than my own struggle on Wufu Road.

Hey, when others travel through time, they all use poetry to pretend to be coercive, but I use poetry to make a deal. Maybe this is what makes Ouhuang different.

Two, work hard, hook up the Caiwei girl from the Sitianjian and have sex with her. With the support of Mr. Jianzheng, even if I don't work hard, I can still live happily.

Three, sell one of the magical artifacts obtained by Si Tianjian in exchange for the opportunity to open the gate of heaven.

The disadvantage of the first idea is that I have to recall the fear of being dominated by the life of the third year of high school, and I may not be the material for studying. I'm about to be twenty years old, and it's a bit late to change the path of practice.

The disadvantage of the second idea is that I may bid farewell to the life of three wives and four concubines, and bid farewell to the comfortable life of listening to music in Goulan, and the sacrifice is a bit big.

The third way of thinking, the disadvantage is that the qi training level is still not as good as the servant of the household department. Moreover, without a backer, it would be difficult to continue to advance bravely on the road of martial arts. The second uncle has been at the peak of Qi training for nearly ten years, which is the best example.

At present, we should hold on to the thighs of Si Tianjian and Yunlu Academy first, and then plan the follow-up. I have a hunch that the turmoil of the tax and bank case will not end here. "

Xu Mansion, front hall.

At dusk, Xu Qi'an climbed over the wall and went to the second uncle's house next door after dinner. In the yard of the front hall, he saw Xu Lingyin staggering in horse gait, hitting left and right with his small fist, hey hey huh Dub.

She was wearing a lotus-colored little dress, wrapped like a rice dumpling, and her head was tied with a conch bun exclusive to children.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Qi'an kicked her little butt lightly.

The little boy fell down with a snap.

"I'm practicing martial arts." Xu Lingyin got up, thrusting her waist, sticking out her chubby belly, very dissatisfied with the sneak attack of her elder brother, her brows were raised upright: "Are you provoking me, elder brother?"

It may be that what she experienced in the morning cast a shadow on her young heart. This five-year-old child felt that she should learn martial arts.

"I am." Xu Qi'an said.

"Daddy said, people fight for their breath, and so do martial arts. This is called Zunzun"

"dignity?"

"En!" Xu Lingyin nodded vigorously first, then glared at her elder brother: "I want to fight with you."

She ran over on two short legs, waving her fists.

Xu Qi'an pressed her forehead with one hand, and Xiao Douding was in a hurry, screaming and punching hard at the same time.

But I can't hit the big brother anyway.

Her anxious little face twisted into a ball.

Xu Qi'an found her annoying, and discussed: "I'll give you a chicken leg, and you'll lose."

"Okay." Xu Lingyin really stopped punching, with a happy face.

"What about your dignity?"

"Brother, what is dignity?"

"have a future."

He led Xiao Douding into the living room, and the banquet was held soon. The dinner was very rich, like a festival.

The maids put the best dishes in front of Xu Qi'an intentionally or unintentionally, and he couldn't help but look at his aunt, who was wearing a dress embroidered with dull patterns, with a delicate face, a pair of watery eyes and thick eyelashes, It contains the unique style of women, just like a plump crabapple flower.

As always, with a high and cold attitude, it seemed that what Xu Qi'an did today was just a trivial matter.

But without her instruction, the mothers-in-law would not dare to treat Xu Dalang so favorably.

Xu Lingyue ate with chopsticks and chopsticks, finally summoned up her courage, and said, "Brother, mother will make winter clothes for the family, and I will measure your figure later. I, I want to make it for my brother myself."

The younger sister changed into a rather gorgeous dress, the dress was embroidered with burning lotus flowers, and the goose-yellow cloak with intricate cloud patterns, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, such a gorgeous dress, set off by a delicate and pretty face, On the contrary, there is a sense of incomprehension in the world.

"Okay, okay?" Xu Lingyue had a thin skin, and when she saw that he was silent, she blushed and lowered her head.

It's better to be a younger sister in this era, who knows how to make clothes for her brother. Unlike my previous cousin, who can only be described with the word "hehe", Xu Qi'an nodded: "Thank you."

Xu Lingyue smiled sweetly, complementing the aunt beside her.

Xu Qi'an withdrew his gaze and said, "Second Uncle, Erlang, go to the study after dinner, I have something to tell you."

study!

After Lu'e served three cups of hot tea, she resigned and left.

Xu Qi'an picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, once again lamenting the food without MSG, he always felt that something was missing.

"What do you think about what happened this afternoon?" Xu Qi'an cut to the chase, asking for opinions from his second uncle and cousin.

Isn't the matter over? Uncle Xu's face was a little dazed.

Xu Nian frowned: "You want to say that Mr. Zhou might take revenge?"

The son of the dignified servant of the household department, if he stumbles at the hands of a small subordinate, he will definitely not let it go.

Second Uncle Xu waved his hand: "No, no, it's fine if it's normal, but today there are great Confucian scholars from Yunlu Academy and Si Tianjian's white clothes coming forward, I guess that Zhou will not dare to stir up trouble."

That's right, it makes sense.

It is not uncommon to see common people in the yamen, but when it comes to officialdom or powerful forces, they will become quite cautious.

Half of it is from childhood, no matter how stingy the Yamen is, they also know the depth of the capital. The other half comes from parental warnings.

Xu Nian shook his head: "Father, since elder brother said that, there must be a reason."

He looked at Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice: "I just got a piece of news from Sitianjian today. The man behind the tax and bank case is Zhou Shilang."

This chapter is 3,000 words, I am too conscientious.
