Chapter 150
And there were actually five hundred bolts of such expensive and exquisite material ... Auntie felt like she was about to faint from the sudden happiness.
Xu lingyue wasn’t any better than her mother. Since ancient times, women had always had a special love for things like clothes.
Xu lingying, who took advantage of the fact that her parents and sister weren’t paying attention to her, quickly ate all the food for herself, was not one of them. She was still a child.
“I’ll go help!” Second uncle Xu couldn’t sit still anymore. He stood up and ran out in big steps.
Xu Qi ‘an was standing by the carriage. After discussing with song tingfeng about how to solve the Sang Bo case, he went to the Imperial Academy to play.
“Speaking of which, out of the 24 courtesans of the Academy, I’ve only slept with Fu Xiang. I’ll visit them one by one another day.” Xu Qi ‘an said in an expectant tone.
“You ...” Song tingfeng stared at him with a strange look, “”Aren’t you in a good relationship with Fu Xiang? What you should do now is to redeem her. ”
“You ...” Xu Qi ‘an also stared at him with a strange look. He couldn’t understand why the ancient people always liked to use the bus for personal use.
Well, the status of a concubine was only slightly higher than that of a servant. Perhaps in their opinion, buying the freedom of a prostitute was equivalent to buying a girlfriend who could neither speak nor eat, and lived on air for a living.
Moreover, the courtesan Belle would not even leak air.
A wife and a concubine were two different concepts. They could not be compared ... however, in my opinion, buying the freedom of a prostitute is the same as meeting a well-dressed and rich person who says that he’s selling clothes outside during a blind date ... There was still a difference in views and thoughts.
Xu Qi ‘an shook his head, not wanting to continue this topic.
“Second uncle, don’t move these.” Xu Qi ‘an saw second uncle Xu coming out to help and quickly called out.
When second uncle looked over, Xu Qi ‘an dragged a small box weighing 60 catties with one hand and threw it over. “You carry this.”
Second uncle Xu reached out and took it. It felt quite heavy. He opened it and took a look ... What blinded my dog eyes?
In the front hall, Auntie was infatuated with the beautiful silk hair. She touched it here and there, and her beautiful face could not help but overflow with a smile.
Xu lingyue’s little hand pressed on a piece of silk, feeling the thin and smooth touch, the girl’s heart thumped.
Pa!
The mother’s aunt slapped it away and said unhappily, “”Don’t get dirty.”
Xu lingyue said faintly,”mother, what are you so happy about?” These things were given to big brother by His Majesty, not yours.”
A fatal blow!
The aunt gradually lost her smile. After a moment, her dignified and beautiful face pulled a stiff smile. that ... I’m still quite good to dalang, right ...”
She didn’t even have the confidence to say this.
Xu lingyue nodded. yes, it’s good. Big brother is a money-losing thing that you raised.
“Wretched girl!” The aunt jabbed Xu lingyue with her finger, causing her to stagger.
At this moment, the mother and daughter saw second uncle Xu carrying a box in a daze.
His aunt lifted her skirt and went up to him. what’s that in old master’s hand? ”
Pa ... Pa ... Second uncle Xu opened the box and closed it again. Then, he looked at his wife and said, “”Are you blind?”
“I’m blind ...”
The aunt was an unmarried Virgin who had three children now. She had never seen so much silver, no, gold in her thirty-six years of life.
Her second uncle had never owned so much gold before.
.....
“My throat is so dry. I’ve been working all day and haven’t had a sip of good tea.”
“Ningyan, take a seat. I’ll make you some.”
....
“I want to eat steamed eggs.”
“Auntie will get the kitchen to make it for you.”
....
“Don’t you have milk?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Auntie will go heat up the milk for you now.”
At the dining table, Xu Qi ‘an was sitting boldly. His usually proud aunt was taking care of him attentively. When Xu Qi’ an wanted to eat steamed eggs, his aunt would ask someone to make them for him. Xu Qi ‘an wanted to drink tea, so his aunt made it for him. Xu Qi ‘an wanted to drink milk, so his aunt gave it to him ... He tried his best to make up for the deeply-pierced feelings between nephew and nephew.
“Auntie, you’re not being sincere. I want to eat the eggs you make yourself.” Xu Qi ‘an snorted.
.... The aunt bit her lip and forced a smile.”Auntie will make it for you.”
The steamed egg was served. Xu Qi ‘an said as he ate, sigh, there are a lot of dirty clothes in the yard next door. An unlucky person like me who has no parents can only wash them myself.
.... The aunt gritted her teeth. ningyan, you’re being too distant. I treat you like my own. I’ll take a shower.
He was exhaling with pride! Xu Qi ‘an felt that her thoughts were clear, and the obsession in her heart finally dissipated.
“Second uncle, how about we sell this house and buy a big house in the inner city?” Xu Qi ‘an suggested.
The plump and beautiful aunt’s eyes lit up, and her face glowed.
Selling the house ... Second uncle Xu glanced at the decorations in the hall and suddenly sighed. “This is the ancestral home, you’re selling it just like that? Your father and I grew up in this house.”
“If you don’t want to sell it, then don’t sell it. Eight thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a more spacious house in the inner city.” Xu Qi ‘an raised his glass and put it down. He suddenly said, “”Second uncle, did you have an illegitimate child with another woman?”
“Pfft ...” Second uncle Xu quickly turned his head and spat the wine on Xu lingying’s face.
He had intended to spray it on the ground, but the little girl was too small, so it just happened to spray on her head and face.
...
The little boy was stunned, not knowing what he had done wrong. She was strong and didn’t cry. She licked the wine on her face and felt that it didn’t taste good. Then, she burst into tears.
Second uncle Xu glared at his nephew, who spoke without thinking. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Second uncle didn’t look guilty or shocked ... There was no suspicion or shock on his aunt’s face ... Xu Qi ‘an, who was proficient in expression psychology, made a judgment.
When people were least prepared, their subconscious actions were the most in line with their hearts.
Xu Qi ‘an first ruled out the possibility that he was the illegitimate son of his second uncle. It was not unreasonable for him to think this way. When he was young, when his second uncle’s colleagues came to visit him, they would point at Xu Qi’ an and say, “”This is your son?”
Or she could point at Xu Erlang and say,”your daughter is so beautiful.”
What did it mean? It meant that Xu Qi ‘an and second uncle Xu had similar facial features.
From a genetic point of view, the two were blood-related.
I’m just joking. I’ve never seen my biological parents before, and he looks so similar to my second uncle. Xu Qi ‘an shrugged.
“By the way, Auntie, have you seen my mother?”
“Of course I’ve seen her before. I even took care of your mother for a period of time when she was pregnant with you. Your mother is so gentle, unlike you ...”
...
He immediately stopped and almost rebutted his nephew out of habit.
“What about your brother?” Xu Qi ‘an lowered her head and ate the steamed egg. She was observing her second uncle from the corner of her eye.
Second uncle Xu was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He said in a bad mood, “”Then you’re the old man.”
He recalled and said, ” your grandfather died early. We grew up relying on each other. Your father was more talented than me. Unfortunately, he died in the Battle of Shanhai Pass.
Xu Qi ‘an did not ask any more questions. He quickly ate and ate. He left the 500 rolls of silk and satin in the main residence and returned to the small courtyard with the box full of gold ingots.
It wasn’t safe to leave the gold at home. There were so many colleagues in the Yamen who had witnessed it during the night Watch in the afternoon. If they had ill intentions and sneaked in to steal it, it would implicate his aunt and sister.
Wei Yuan said that for a long time. he would send night watchmen to secretly protect and monitor the vicinity of the Xu residence to prevent the Daoist from the earth sect from seeking revenge. This could also deter night watchmen who have ill intentions ... Xu Qi ‘an jumped over the high wall and put the box into the fragment of The Earth Book.
......
After the bath, the fragrant aunt sat by the bed, tilted her head, and wiped her black hair with a sweat towel.
Second uncle Xu sat cross-legged on a small couch not far away, cultivating his Qi.
“I’ve been practicing every day, but I haven’t seen you do anything.” The aunt rolled her eyes charmingly.
Hu~
Second uncle Xu exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes. Even though he was full of energy after breathing in and out, there was a deep sadness in the depths of his eyes.
He had already reached the peak of the mortal realm. No matter how much he trained, his Qi would not increase. However, the door to the spirit-refinement realm was tightly shut.
“Master, if you break through ... Will you be promoted in the next realm?” The aunt said as she stretched her waist.
“Of course,” Xu Pingzhi replied.
After drying her hair, her aunt took off her embroidered shoes and sat on the bed sideways with her long legs crossed. She hugged the pillow in her arms and complained, ” Xu ningyan, that little rascal. He’s so proud of himself. If it wasn’t for the silk and the mansion in the inner city, I wouldn’t have been able to bear with him and would have spat at him ...
“You’ve unknowingly grown up,” she sighed.
She thought of the time when she took him from her husband. He was as big as a kitten.
“Dong Dong Dong ...”
There was a knock on the door, and Xu Qi ‘an’s voice came from the door, “”Second uncle, there’s something I forgot to tell you.”
The aunt was shocked. She quickly put down the bed curtain and shrank into the quilt.
“Let’s go to the study,” Xu Pingzhi stood up and said.
no need. Second uncle, come out. We’ll say a few words at the door and you’ll leave. Xu Qi ‘an said.
The aunt hugged the blanket and hid behind the bed curtain to eavesdrop. The uncle and nephew said a few words in detail before the husband returned and slammed the door.
“What are you saying? did he secretly give you some money?” The aunt stuck her head out from the bed curtain and glared at Xu Pingzhi.
Suddenly, she was stunned. She saw her husband’s slightly red eyes and his wet eyes.
“Master?” Auntie! the Auntie was at a loss and called out in confusion.
I’ve finally gotten my hope ... Xu Pingzhi closed his eyes and said softly, “”The hope of the spirit forging stage.”
His aunt pursed her red lips.
.... Was it Ning Yan?
......
When Xu Qi ‘an returned to the small courtyard, her spiritual perception seemed to be triggered. She stood at the door for a few seconds and gently pushed it open.
As usual, he walked to the table and lit the candle. The thin flame emitted a faint yellow halo, driving away the darkness and coating the room with a layer of orange.
An old Daoist with white hair sat cross-legged on the bed. Although his hair was tied up with a hairpin, strands of messy hair still hung down.
His facial features were well-defined and he had a peaceful look.
“You’re here.” Xu Qi ‘an greeted him with a smile.
“I’m coming.” Daoist priest Golden Lotus nodded and smiled back.
“You shouldn’t have come.” Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice.
“What do you mean?” Daoist priest Golden Lotus asked in surprise. Didn’t we agree to have a secret meeting today?”
.... No, I’m just playing around. I want to understand Gu Long’s novel! Xu Qi ‘an shrugged. I was just joking with the Taoist priest.
“How’s the investigation of the Sang Bo case going?” Daoist priest Golden Lotus didn’t mind. After all, everyone had their own quirks, and the members of the Heaven and Earth Society all had strong personalities.
this case is very complicated, ” Xu Qi ‘an said after a moment of silence. it involves too many forces. I’ve found a lot of clues, and they’re all in a mess. To be honest, I’ve been a police officer for so many years ... Constable, I’ve never encountered such a difficult problem before.”
We usually rely on surveillance! He added in his heart.
He immediately told the Golden Lotus Daoist priest all the clues he had gathered and his own conjectures.
Since joining the Heaven and Earth Society, he and Daoist priest Golden Lotus had reached an initial level of trust, and he felt that Daoist priest Golden Lotus was a good candidate for an ally. Moreover, the Sang Bo case had nothing to do with Taoist master Jin Lian.
Well, if his escape to the capital to take refuge was only a superficial reason, but in fact to pave the way for the Sang Bo case, and he was also the one who killed County Magistrate Zhao, then he was really a King!
Xu Qi ‘an tried to find joy in her misery. Now, everyone was a bad person, and everyone was an old silver coin.
“You suspect that the North vanquishing Prince is the mastermind behind the scenes. He has reached an agreement with the monster clan in the North and the witchcraft cult in the northeast to usurp the throne?
so, they blew up the Sang Bo case and released the first director. Daoist priest Golden Lotus said with a frown.
“What do you think?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
