Chapter 144 – Copper Money
Xu Lip Hu woke up looking for his brother’s figure, the results out of the writing garden, he saw the pavilion in the two guys red in the face wide-eyed, the female servant girl Qing Bird saw the long county lord, salute with a smile on the corner of the mouth, which let Xu Lip Hu was relieved to think that the two people in the pavilion is about to fight, Tong Xi Jian Xian seems to have failed to win the dispute, cold face waved his sleeve and left, Xu Lip Hu saw the face of the innocent younger brother, curiously asked: “What’s going on here? Little uncle is not going to get the Baxiu sword to serve you, right?”
Xu Fengyen smiled playfully without a proper form and said: “No, talking to Mr. Hongjia north run things, some differences, talking into a fight, I think it is not so much to be a sword fight, at most later to argue again. That is, Tongxi Jianxian, in other Jiangnan Dao famous person, I would have already taken a knife and cut a pass.”
Xu Lihu extended his finger to point at his younger brother’s forehead, “You, you, you, you don’t know how to pretend to be gentle and respectful in front of your elders.”
Xu Fengnian waited for his elder sister to sit beside him, narrowed his eyes and asked, “That Lu Xuanlang is still being a shrinking violet?”
Xu Lihu threw a wink and said: “Rules, rules, don’t be rude, remember, next time you see each other don’t put on a bad face. The Lu family is at least a big family, not everyone is like little uncle this good to talk.”
Xu Fengyen did not comment, just blank stares. Xu Lihu rubbed her thumb on his forehead and tsked, “I touched him all night last night, but I couldn’t erase this nice purple mark, so it’s true. Sister can put on this makeup in the future, it looks good and might be able to take the Jiangnan Road by storm.”
Surge of a powerlessness Xu Fengyen was speechless, gently slapped off her mooching fingers.
Xu Lihu asked, “Hungry yet, if the body can hold up, sis will take you to the Newspaper Temple to eat fasting rice, the taste is excellent.”
Xu Fengyen nodded, this trip out of Lu Fu, in addition to the idle siblings, fish Youwei did not travel, green bird was pressed by him to rest in the house, so only shouted Wei Shuyang Ning Emei and the old sword god little mud four people, phoenix word battalion cavalry were left behind, but Jing’an Wangfei is still by the maids two Qiao went to shouting, Pei Wangfei was not easy to get out of Xiangfan have a decent bed to sleep on, can not wait to sleep for days and nights. Sleep a few days and nights, get up quite reluctantly, on the carriage also sleepy eyes, obviously not sleep. A group of people in two carriages, horseman respectively by the halberd Ning Emei and the old sword God as, intended to avoid the Pei Wangfei was Xu Lipu tiger named to stay, in addition to siblings inside the carriage is only this from the high branches down her, and Xu Lipu tiger measuring her eyes very nonchalant, tsk: “worthy of the rouge list of the beautiful people, even I have to be moved by this woman to look at. ”
Xu Lip Hu reached out his hand to pinch Princess Jing An’s congealed skin, was indifferently Pei Nan Wei avoided it without humility, she can’t say that she has a bad feeling towards this immoral widow who even cursed the clamor of Qingzhou, but she definitely lacks a good feeling. It’s just that people are under the roof and don’t dare to show it. Xu Lip Hu saw her avoiding, somewhat bored, turned his head with a bad smile and asked Xu Feng Nian: “Tasted it?”
Xu Feng Nian did not have a good temper, “No, you want, let Princess Pei sleep at your place at night, as long as you don’t come to wreak havoc on me.”
Xu Liuhu let out a loud laugh, almost laughed out tears, heavy breasts chaotically trembling, a little unconcerned on Xu Fengnian’s shoulder, panting and winking: “Forget it, sis is still happy to sleep with you, with this kind of national color and fragrance of the beauty to grind the mirror, although it’s not bad, but where is it compared to sleeping with you in the same bed.”
King Consort Jing’an eyes shocked, viewed this pair of siblings with undisguised hatred, obviously believe that between them there is that contrary to the ethical relationship between the back of morality. Eyes a cold Xu Fengyen take embroidered winter knife sheath heavily slapped her cheek, Xu Lip Hu only chaos, completely snuggled in the arms of His Highness the son of the world, look at this Jing’an Wangfei, the posture, where is like a sister, is clearly as the house of jealousy of the concubines, favored after the flaunting to the underlings to look at, Xu Fengyen sighed in his heart, but since it is the sister fooling around, let her go, she is happy on the good, Xu Fengnian heart. As for what the disgusted Pei Wangfei thinks, what does it matter to him? Xu Lip Hu got an inch, hands around Xu Feng Nian’s neck, refused to settle down and rubbed his feet against Pei Wangfei’s frosty face, laughed and said: ”Sister Wangfei, why don’t my sister teach you some life-long benefits of foxy means? This woman na, under the bed with a frame is a good thing, to the bed is still so, can be annoying men. Sister is this age, if you can not let go, is not a waste of thirty like a wolf forty like a tiger’s capital?”
Sister sister four words, XuLiHu bite words very heavy. Hearing in the ears of Pei Wangfei, nature is very harsh, especially that thirty-forty say, I believe that again open-minded woman, are to pull the heart ah.
Cloth wooden hairpin Pei Wangfei face, skimmed the head, pursed lips did not say a word.
Xu Lihu regretted: “Beautiful is beautiful, just do not know half of the flavor, no wonder my brother such as the end of the bowl looking at the pot of the guy are on the sister you do not chopsticks.”
Xu Fengyin finally voiced out, “Okay, sis, you just don’t scare this chaste and chaste Princess Jing’an, say it again, she is going to swallow the hairpin and kill herself.”
Xu Lihu pretended to be surprised, “I don’t see that sister Wangfei is this fierce.”
Xu Fengyin laughed: “Wangfei, why don’t you swallow the hairpin for my sister to see?”
Princess Pei’s eyes were bleakly detached, gritting her teeth and turning her back to them, two lines of clear tears streaming down her cheeks.
Xu Lipid Tiger whispered in His Highness the son’s ear, “So it’s also a poor man.”
Xu Fengyen was noncommittal.
Come to the newspaper temple came early, the temple door is not yet open, more than a dozen sets of incense are outside the temple to rest and gossip, most of them are acquaintances in the Huting County, when saw the widow Xu Lip Hu got off the carriage, immediately shut up and did not say anything, compared to the previous period of time of the theater mentality, after yesterday’s ripples, the other counties of Huting County is okay, Yangchun City, all the well-informed scholars and clansmen have long been the means of that His Highness the son of the world was shocked by the nook and cranny of the street to kill the After killing the scholar in the street, rushed to disperse several times the number of soldiers in the city, it is said that even the middle door of Lu’s house was dismantled, and that night Mr. Chengzai dragged his body into the city and then threw his body in front of the door, this kind of behavior? How can you describe such behavior? The city’s family elders got up in the night and talked with their friends at night, all of them said bitterly that this is a hundred years of shame in Yangzhou, and rumor has it that the state’s most ruthless general Dong Guohuang, who is the most ruthless in dealing with the tycoons, has already received orders to bring six hundred elites from the state capital to Yangchun City today, and who doesn’t know that this first time in his post, he caned and killed the three dukes in Gumou, General Dong and Yu’s relationship is very deep? He was even General Gu Jiantang’s favorite general in the past.
The door of the temple was closed, Xu Fengyen got off the car and saw a small and exquisite square pool in front of the temple close to the root of the mountain, surrounded by green trees and a gnarled and strange ancient pine. Xu Lipid Tiger intimate arm holding his arm to go, the pool on each side of the stone dragon head, dragon mouth drop by drop flow of spring water, the water is clear, the bottom of the pool in the incense dropped the scattered coins clearly visible. Xu Lihu picked up a dead branch, squatting down to stir the spring, stop when the water will appear on the surface of a thin as a silver line of water, looked up and laughed: “see, it is said that this is the mountain water and spring water quality of two water quality of different weights and confuse together and produce the scene, interesting, right?”
Xu Fengyen squatted down, wanting to reach into the water to pick up a few coins, was Xu Lihu took a branch and slapped it, laughing and scolded, “You’re poor and crazy ah?”
Xu Fengyen still picked up a copper coin, two fingers pinch, hehehe laughs: “can save then save it.”
Stand up, the air outside the temple is fresh, the sound of birds chirping a pass one, look up, the temple in the green layer high layer. Retrieve the line of sight, the side of the ancient pine is really born not vulgar, thick trunk left and right, bitter bend for several stacks, twisted as a crouching dragon, I do not know whether it is God’s will or man-made. The old sword god and ginger mud will stand under the tree, sheepskin fur old man sighed: “the will of God so too merciful, but out of human words, is too ruthless.”
Xu Lihu pointed at the ancient pine with a branch, explaining to Xu Fenian, “The locals call him the Crouching Dragon Pine, saying that if you break a branch, blood will flow out, but I haven’t seen anyone really do this.”
Xu Fenian laughed: “I’ll go and try?”
Xu Lipid Tiger glared, “You dare!”
Xu Fenian bristled.
On the side, Er Qiao saw this scene and smiled warmly. His Highness the World Prince was indeed very much in love with the young lady. Perhaps being glimpsed snickering, Xu Fengyen made a face towards the little girl, frightening the servant girl to hurriedly hide behind Xu Lipid Tiger, the little girl’s heart was like a deer in the head, as if she was not afraid, but just lightly tickled by something, and could not be quiet again. Xu Lihu turned his head to look at the little girl in a trance, will heartily smiled, said, under the sky which do not like their own brother’s women. But on the surface Xu Lihu still charming white glance at the unintentional action of Xu Fengyen, take a branch waved, as if to warn him not in the Buddhist net land of the womanizer.
The temple door slowly opened wide, two young monks closed their hands and saluted. Just today the compartment to provide incense fasting place, Xu Lip Hu and his party seated, no one dares to go in again, Xu Fengnian table Xu Lip Hu sitting, plus the nine dipper old Taoist Wei Shuyang, but also an empty stool, the maid Er Qiao and the military general Ning Emei stood, Princess Jing’an have self-awareness, coupled with the way to the road is really bullied, but also will not sit down. Xu Lihu is like lively people, let sitting at the next table Jiang Nai shouted to, the little mud man hesitated, did not refuse, approached by Xu Lihu pulled in the side of the bench to sit down, smiling: “Jiang Nai, really grow more and more playful, you’re this niece as a child on the good-looking, that will be in the house, you can also be compared with the Feng Nian, I was worried about the female big eighteen changes, for fear that you grow up is not good, now it seems to be blind manipulation, but I’m afraid that you can not be a good-looking, and I’m afraid that you will not be a good-looking. Good looking, now it seems to be a blind worry, come, tell sister that Feng Nian bullied you or not.”
The little mud person in front of His Highness and the old Sword God is quite a spirited girl, at this time actually red-faced did not say anything.
Xu Fengyen demolished the stage and laughed: “Blushing, rare rare rare.”
Jiang Nai didn’t glare at each other, but raised his foot under the table and stepped on it.
There is Xu Lihu presence, ginger mud did not how to mouth action.
Xu Lipid Tiger softly laughed: “Looks like it is often certainly bullied. It’s okay, turn around and I’ll help you clean him up.”
The little mud man lowered his head and didn’t say anything.
Xu Fenian muttered, “Is it my sister or her sister.”
Xu Lipid Tiger raised his hand in a gesture to hit, and Her Highness sidestepped. She lovingly touched Jiang Nai, this little nymph’s slender shoulders, “Jiang Nai, I heard that you’ve been reading to this scoundrel since you left Northern Liang? This is a good thing. During this period of time, come and read Wang Donghang’s The First Snowfall to your sister, the price is doubled, all out of that guy’s pocket, he wouldn’t dare not to give it.”
Jiang Nai raised his head and heaved a hmmm, is the unprecedented smile in this month.
Xu Fengyen made a big fuss and teased, “Dimples, two dimples, haha, was seen by this son! Get it, double the price is double, it’s worth it.”
Jiang Nai immediately face, but the eyes are still smiling, naturally all because of Xu Lip Hu, with that asshole not half a penny relationship.
Xu Lipid Tiger laughed: “Our little Jiang Nai smile is the most beautiful, any woman under the sky can not compare. So smile more, it’s not easy to get old.”
The next table crosses the legs of the old man of sheepskin fur laughingly said, “Xu kid, you this sister is not in vain to have this body, the heart is much better than you.”
Xu Lihu wrapped his arms around the little mudman, twisted his head and smiled charmingly, “On the basis of this sentence from Sword God Li, turn around and have ten jars of good wine.”
The old Sword God gave a thumbs up and praised, “Magnificent! This wine old me will drink, whoever dares to cross you in the Jiangnan Road these days, old me will be the first one to disagree with him.”
Xu Fengyen said bitterly, “Why do you think I’m the only one who isn’t a thing.”
Jiang Nai in Xu Lip Hu’s arms laughed, “You just realized.”
Xu Fenian said in surprise, “Look, there are dimples again!”
Jiang Nai turned her head and was about to make a face, when Xu Lip Hu took his finger and gently poked the dimples that can intoxicate men all over the world, and looked down and snickered, “You’re such a cute niece, my sister is willing to let that guy leave Jiangnan Road, she can’t let you go.”
Xu Fengyen stretched out his hand, snapped his hand and slapped it on the table in front of Jiang Nai, after shrinking his hand, it was the copper coins fished out of the spring, shamelessly said, “Sent it to you, hoity-toity or not?”
Jiang Nai hesitated for a moment, probably for the face of Xu Lip Hu, reached out and picked up the copper money, holding it in the palm of his hand.
After the fasting rice was sent up, Xu Lipid Tiger ate the wontons while saying, “There is a king and bully debate in the Newspaper Temple today, do you want to listen to it?”
Xu Fengnian said indifferently, “As you wish.”
Xu Lip Hu aggravated his tone and said, “Listening is fine, no fighting.”
Xu Fengyen buried his head and nibbled on a vegetarian bun and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Tangxi will definitely keep an eye on me.”
After breakfast, Xu Lihu took him to see the peonies in the Newspaper Temple, Jiang Nai and Li Chun Gang walked at the end, the little mudman took advantage of people not paying attention, spread out his palms, peeked at the sweaty copper coins, then hurriedly clenched them tightly, as if he was a thief.
The old swordsman who looks like he’s looking left and right sighs in his heart, “Mother, you stupid daughter, this life is going to be eaten to death.
Dare to say that a small copper coin is worth more than the old man’s lifelong attainments in sword dao?
