Nightwatcher

In this way, Xu Qi'an got one tael or four taels of silver, plus his original three taels and the one he picked up, a total of two taels.

And Xu Qi'an's fancy Jin Buyao got ten taels of silver.

In the same way, he helped three young ladies solve crossword puzzles, and finally got together five taels of silver.

"Should be enough to buy a gold step, but I have to buy one for my aunt"

"Young master?" the shopkeeper's pale face interrupted Xu Qi'an who was thinking.

Xu Qi'an looked at him silently.

"Young master, can you hold your hand high?"

"The shopkeeper's words are meaningless, the rules are set by you."

"Young master, tell me what you want."

"I want to buy two gold step rockers, but the silver price is only enough for one. Well, it's still half price."

"I, I'm sending you off." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth.

"That's so embarrassing."

"If you don't come here again, I will be very grateful."

Can't afford it? Satisfied, Xu Qi'an walked away with two golden steps in his arms.

I really don't want to go whoring for nothing, Xu is not that kind of person, but the store manager is too polite.

As for the store manager's feelings, he doesn't care. To be able to open such a shop, twenty or thirty taels of silver is certainly painful, but it's not a big loss.

Moreover, since playing this kind of routine and benefiting from the routine, one must be mentally prepared to meet a master.

It doesn't make sense that as long as you can make other people's money, others can't squeeze your wool.

Not long after he left the shop, the hairs on his back suddenly stood up, and the pores seemed to be pierced by fine needles.

It made his heart beat faster and his adrenaline pumped.

Someone is following me and watching me, hiding hostility, Xu Qi'an has a vague understanding.

Xu Qi'an remained calm, pretending that nothing had happened, while thinking in his heart.

Who is following my Baoqixuan? Obviously not, although the store owner seems to want to beat me up, but the master who can make my hair stand on end must have a background, there is no such talent in a mere treasure shop.

Yunlu Academy? That's not right, the great Confucians of Yunlu Academy are vying to accept me as a boy. How could he be hostile to me.

It's Zhou Mansion!

At this stage, if anyone is hostile to him and spying on him, it is definitely Zhou Mansion.

Xu Qi'an's heart was awe-inspiring. His experience in his previous life told him that once you are being followed and monitored, it means that the other party will make a move in the near future, even tonight.

"The plan to visit Yunlu Academy is correct. Even though my second uncle and I are not weak in skills, the female family members are a burden"

Xu Qi'an's face was solemn, and the plan to deal with the Zhou Mansion was imminent.

Returning to the Xu Mansion, Xu Qi'an immediately found out from the cabinet the army crossbow that Si Tianjian Song Qing had exchanged (for free) and hung it around his waist, and tied the heart guard on his chest.

This gave me a little sense of security.

After climbing over the wall to the main house, she saw Xu Lingyin chasing a flock of geese in the backyard. With her waist in her hands, she stomped her feet vigorously, and the frightened goslings panicked and ran around.

"Big brother, big brother, do you think I am majestic?" Xu Lingyin became more and more proud when he saw his big brother come back.

"Where did the goose come from?" Xu Qi'an was taken aback for a moment, he clearly didn't have any when he left home this morning.

"Mother asked someone to buy it, and said she raised it at home." Xu Lingyin tilted her head and said softly, "I forgot about the latter."

It should be that keeping it at home is cheaper than buying it from outside. Xu Qi'an said "Oh", and said, "Be careful, don't trample the goose to death. Are there no big geese?"

"The big goose is over there, I'll chase it out." Xu Lingyin volunteered to get into the flowerbed with her short legs.

A few seconds later, the cry of a child killing a pig came out.

The bushes shook violently, and Xu Lingyin escaped crying, dragging a big white goose by her feet, biting her short legs tightly.

She looked like she was about to die, "Brother, help me!"

Xu Qi'an stood by and watched, laughing like a pig.

At dusk, Second Uncle Xu came back from work. He was dressed in military uniform, with a long knife and crossbow hanging from his waist, watching eagles and wolves. His temperament was completely different from when he was wearing ordinary clothes.

The three of them came to the study room, and after Lu'e served hot tea, they retreated obediently.

Xu Cijiu said: "My eldest brother and I have already made arrangements, and we can send my mother and younger sister to the academy tomorrow. It just so happens that Lingyin is about to be enlightened. The teacher my father hired is not good enough to teach her. The teacher in the academy will be fine."

When Lingyin heard the good news, she must have cried happily. Xu Qi'an had no reason to think of the funny joke of giving a box of exercise books to warm-hearted children in her previous life.

Uncle Xu was overjoyed, this undoubtedly solved his heart problem, and the female family members in the family can be properly arranged, so he has no worries about the future.

"Farewell to the old days, thanks to you. Father knows that letting you study is the most correct thing he has ever done in his life."

Xu Cijiu was a little ashamed: "Father, it is the elder brother's credit, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Ning Yan?" Second Uncle Xu looked at his nephew unexpectedly.

After listening to his son's explanation, Second Uncle Xu said regretfully, "Ning Yan, the biggest mistake Second Uncle did in his life was to send you to practice martial arts."

Uncle Xu now believes that his nephew is the seed for reading.

I'm just making effective use of the knowledge I learned in my previous life. Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice, "I have something to tell my second uncle. When I just came back, I was followed. Farewell, how about you?"

The expressions of the father and son changed.

Xu Nian frowned: "Even if I was followed, how would I know?"

He is just an enlightened scholar.

Second Uncle Xu stood up, paced back and forth a little anxiously, and said in a deep voice: "Ning Yan, you will stay at the mansion tonight, we live closer together, so we can take care of you.

"In addition, I will go out later, and I will only make a noise when I go to the sword guard, so that they can strengthen the patrol strength nearby at night."

Xu New Year and Xu Qi'an looked at each other with heavy hearts.

While eating, Xu Qi'an glanced at his elegant younger sister Xu Lingyue and coughed to attract the attention of the whole family.

He took out a small mahogany box engraved with the words "Baoqixuan" from his arms, and slowly opened the box. It was a finely crafted gold swing, and the head of the hairpin was a beautifully carved flower inlaid with pearls. A series of slender gold tassels hang down.

Regardless of the style, the weight of gold alone makes the whole family look sideways.

Xu Lingyue and her aunt stared blankly, and two pairs of Kazilan's big eyes fixed on Jin Buyao.

Jinbuyao jewelry, because of its exquisite workmanship and precious materials, has always been sought after by the daughters and wives of wealthy families. Ordinary women can't afford such fine jewelry.

My aunt used to have a carved golden step, which is very precious.

Xu Qi'an is a single dog, so naturally he won't buy gold buds for no reason. There are only two women in the family who are suitable to wear them, and his aunt is the matriarch of the family.

Auntie's beautiful face burst into a smile, her eyes turned soft: "You still have a little conscience, bring it here"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Qi'an put Jin Buyao in front of Xu Lingyue: "Sister, I'll give it to you!"

Xu Lingyue's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it, Baoqixuan's jewelry is very famous in this area, the workmanship is exquisite, and it is very popular with girls and women from rich families nearby.

"Thank you, brother." A sincere smile appeared on her clear face, her eyes were crescent like crescents.

Aunt's delicate body was trembling, her chest was heaving with anger, her eyes were red, and she asked Second Uncle Xu fiercely:

"Say, do you want my nephew or me."

She and the little bastard were at odds.

Second Uncle Xu glared at his nephew, and quickly brought food to his wife: "Calm down, don't be as knowledgeable as this brat."

Xu Qi'an felt that someone had kicked his calf, so he looked up at Xu New Year beside him.

Xu Erlang bowed his head to eat on his own.

PS: I had a dream last night, I was sitting on the edge of the roof, and a group of readers called me: Newspaper seller, come down quickly, we promised to recommend tickets for you.
