91 At this time, silence is better than words (1)
Jiang Luzhong was still unconvinced, but he didn’t dare to act rashly.
“He’s under Yang Yan not because of him, but because of Li Yuchun,” Wei Yuan said slowly.
Li Yuchun?
The three golden gongs were even more confused. Li Yuchun was just a small silver Gong and could be considered a talent. However, he was inflexible and stubborn.
Could it be that Li Yuchun and Xu Qi ‘an had a deep relationship? Jiang lü guessed.
Li Yuchun can test Xu Qi ‘an’s character, ” Wei Yuan explained unhurriedly. Xu Qi’ an also needs a person with a rigid personality to be his leader. If it was any other Yin Gong, they would have a conflict with him.”
Li Yuchun could not tolerate anything, so he used it to guide and persuade Xu Qi ‘an. And with Xu Qi ‘an’s character and philosophy displayed in the questioning heart pass, he could not be like a fish in water under any of the yin gongs.
It might even cause trouble.
Seeing the three of them in deep thought, Wei Yuan said gently, “”What about you? how did you find this gold?”
Jiang Luzhong did not hide anything. uncle Ping Yuan’s case is quite difficult. According to the current clues, it’s very likely that the people in the Jianghu are seeking revenge. However, he had long escaped, and it was extremely difficult to catch him. It just so happens that Xu Qi ‘an is good at solving cases, so I want to transfer him to my side to work for me. ”
The reason was reasonable. Wei Yuan and his sons nodded.
“But what caught my attention was another matter,” Jiang Luzhong continued.
Yang Yan immediately looked over.
“On the night that count Ping Yuan was killed, I brought a few astrologers from the Directorate of Celestials to track the murderer. When the few white-robed men saw Xu Qi ‘an, they were extremely excited and insisted on going over to talk to him.
he saluted me so respectfully the moment we met. Since when has the Directorate of celestial’s white robe been so polite to a martial artist? ”
Jiang Luzhong shook his head and continued, “”I only found out that this man is close to Alchemist si tiangjian after asking him.”
“You have a good relationship with Alchemist si Tian Jian?” The feminine Nangong qianrou seemed to have thought of something and snorted, ”
“I remember that in the tax payment case, he made fake silver with alchemy and solved the mystery. Using alchemy to please the Directorate of Celestials, Bai Yi, was a smart move. It’s just that the astrologers have always looked down on martial artists, but this kid knows when to yield and when to stretch.”
Yang Yan frowned.
He was the kind of martial artist who looked down on everything and regarded cultivators of all major systems as ants. He felt that this was the kind of aura that a high-ranked martial artist must have.
Only by looking down on everything could one be fearless.
If Xu Qi ‘an tried to curry favor with the astrologer, Yang Yan’s impression of him would be lowered.
“No, it’s not like that.” No. Jiang Luzhong sighed and denied it, ” those few aura watchers are extremely respectful to him. They should be eager to please him. Even song Qing of the Directorate of Celestials praised Qi ‘an as “my teacher.””
“What a load of nonsense!” Nangong qianrou didn’t believe it.
Song Qing was the supervisor’s direct disciple, how could he say such words and place the supervisor in such a position?
Yang Yan did not say anything, but he did not believe it either.
Wei Yuan was deep in thought.
……
Xu Qi ‘an finished his patrol and returned to the Yamen. He wrote his report as usual and left.
Today was a day off, so he didn’t go home. Instead, he went to the Imperial Academy.
Today, there was no tea gathering at the Ying Mei Pavilion. The guests listened to the music and watched the dance. Fu Xiang appeared once during the meal, and the guests were satisfied.
The capital is so good, the real big shots don’t even come to the Imperial Academy anymore … Xu Qi ‘an was invited to have tea as usual.
In the bedroom with a charcoal fire, Fu Xiang, who was wearing a gorgeous long dress, lowered her head and played the zither. She was dignified and elegant, and her brows and eyes revealed the temperament of a lady from a wealthy family.
‘You’re quite reserved today, aren’t you? you’re not serving me with your half-exposed breasts …’ Xu Qi ‘an was sitting in the bathtub, enjoying the service of the servant girl.
Xu Qi ‘an looked at the beauty through the screen.
She happened to raise her head and smiled sweetly. In that instant, she was extremely charming.
That invisible charm made Xu dalang’s heart warm up.
It was only for a moment, but the inexplicable feeling disappeared. Xu Qi ‘an thought that he had seen wrong through the screen.
The next morning, when Xu Qi ‘an woke up, he looked at the water clock by the bed and found that it was 25:00. He had overslept, which was a rare sight.
Fu Xiang’s sleeping posture was lazy, her black hair covering her beautiful face. She was like a plump peony flower that had been ravaged by the storm last night.
He looked a little dispirited this morning and needed to catch up on sleep to restore his spirit.
After washing up in the service of the maidservants and eating breakfast, the head maidservant beside Fu Xiang shyly said, “”Young master’s body is strong, but young lady is after all a delicate girl. I hope young master will take pity on her.”
Without waiting for Xu Qi ‘an to answer, she blushed and said shyly, “”Ping ‘er is willing to share wifey’s burden.”
Is this something that you want to do or not? this is something that I don’t want to do.
Xu Qi ‘an examined the head maidservant’s appearance. She looked delicate and pretty, but she was a world of difference from Fu Xiang.
…..
He took the horse from the hands of the “service staff” of the Imperial Academy and mounted it. Suddenly, he heard a burst of hearty laughter.
Following the sound, a few men in the uniform of the Royal sword guards were walking towards the stables.
One of them had a square face and a tall figure. He was second uncle Xu.
Xu Pingzhi and his colleagues spent the night in the Imperial Academy, talking and laughing. When he came to the stables, he saw a handsome young man sitting high on the back of a horse, wearing a night watchman’s uniform with a Gong tied to his chest and a knife hanging from his waist.
“….”Second uncle’s hearty laughter was stuck in his throat.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other in silence. At this time, silence was better than words, and the silver bottle broke the water.
After a few seconds, the uncle and nephew turned their heads at the same time, pretending not to know each other.
The few leaders of the Imperial saber guards did not notice it. They were still talking and laughing.
“I wonder how many men’s families will be integrated into the Imperial Academy during this year’s capital investigation.”
“We’re in luck, hahaha.”
“Speaking of which, it’s hard to even meet lady floating fragrance now.”
floating fragrance is now famous throughout the capital. In the future, it will spread to all the provinces, and its status will rise.
however, miss fuxiang had a guest last night. When she passed by yingmei Pavilion, turtle Gong had just taken down the sign on the gate.
“What good fortune.”
Second uncle subconsciously looked at Xu Qi ‘an. He thought to himself, ” the person you’re jealous of is my nephew.
The uncle and nephew, who pretended not to know each other, left the education workshop. Xu Pingzhi and his colleagues cupped their hands and bade farewell outside the alley of the education workshop. They caught up with Xu Qi ‘an and said in a deep voice, “”Ningyan …”
“Second uncle, you’re despicable!” Xu Qi ‘an said righteously,”Aunt is such a beautiful woman. After she married you, you didn’t cherish her and came to the Imperial Academy’s workshop to fool around.”
His aunt was so beautiful that his uncle had always felt that he was blessed by the heavens to be able to marry such a beautiful wife.
The main reason was that in this era, the parents ‘orders and matchmakers’ words were used for marriage. In Xu Qi ‘an’s previous life, high-quality seafood was only available to the upper class of society.
Xu Pingzhi opened his mouth and said helplessly, “”In another three days, it will be the day when His Majesty pays his respects to the ancestors. There will be more social activities during this time. Don’t tell your aunt …”
“So when second uncle said that he wouldn’t go to the education workshop in the past, he was coaxing people.” Xu Qi ‘an added, “”Second uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?”
“No, I didn’t want to say anything.” Second uncle Xu dispelled the thought of teaching his nephew a lesson.
Xu Qi ‘an, who had struck first, nodded slightly.
As they neared the Xu Manor, second uncle Xu probably felt bad. He saw someone selling green oranges not far away and turned his head to say, “”I’m going to buy some oranges. Wait for me here.”
…. Xu Qi ‘an was taken advantage of, but he couldn’t refute it. He nodded helplessly.
On the way, Xu Pingzhi peeled an orange and deliberately smeared the juice of the orange peel on his body.
An old whoremaster … Xu Qian secretly admired him and said, ” second uncle, don’t throw away the skin. Give it to me.
Second uncle Xu asked curiously as he handed her the orange, “”You don’t need it.”
You hide it from your wife, but I’ll hide it from your daughter!
After the two of them applied the orange peel, they entered the manor.
The aunt smelled the two of them and frowned in disgust.
“I just bought some oranges. They’re fresh and sweet.” Second uncle Xu handed over the peeled and uneaten orange.
The aunt nodded and peeled a piece with her Jade-like fingers. After eating it, she handed it to second uncle Xu expressionlessly.
Second uncle Xu saw his wife sharing it, so he also peeled a piece and ate it. Then, he handed it to Xu Qi ‘an expressionlessly.
It’s quite heartwarming to share an orange with everyone … Xu Qi ‘an took it with a smile, ate a piece, and then handed it to Xu lingyue.
Xu lingyue also ate a piece and beckoned for Xu lingying, who was running around the hall looking for fun.
Xu Ling took the orange, broke two pieces with his short fingers, and stuffed them into his mouth. In an instant, his little face scrunched up, and he shivered from the sourness.
The little boy ate the orange with a ferocious look on his face.
The whole family was relieved and handed the whole bag of oranges to Xu lingying.
