Nightwatcher Chapter 190: Xu 7’an: There is no waste fish in my fish pond

After Aunt Zhang left, Xu Qi'an led the little mare into the yard and tied it to the trunk of the small banyan tree.

At this time, he realized that in just a few days, the originally sluggish yard was full of different flowers, and bees and butterflies were dancing among the flowers.

The air is filled with fresh floral fragrance.

Xu Qi'an glanced roughly and saw many rare varieties, some of which cost as much as ten taels of silver.

The reason why he knew the price of these rare varieties was because the aunt at home poked her **** with potted plants every day. After the spring, she invested more than 200 taels of silver in this area.

Of course, Xu Qi'an wouldn't ask how much money his aunt spent to buy rare flowers, anyway, it was not his money. The main reason is that my aunt's beloved potted plants are always overturned by Xu Lingyin from time to time.

Every time my aunt would violently teach her, and then babbled and said: Do you know how much these are worth, you dead child.

"What's the matter with these flowers?" Xu Qi'an asked calmly.

"The yard is too monotonous, so I bought some flowers to plant in the yard." The princess said in a calm tone.

The silver I gave you, but I can’t afford these flowers..........Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart, with a calm "Oh" on the surface, showing that he was not interested in flowers. Look like.

In my heart, I was thinking that if it was the seeds I bought, it would be a reasonable explanation. In half a ten-year period, the scene of urging seeds into flowers full of flowers in the courtyard, is this the ability of the flower god? If you throw this woman into the desert, you will benefit the whole world.

Following this line of thought, he thought of that small piece of lotus root. If the princess is asked to cultivate the lotus root, can he bring it back to life?

The Taoist Golden Lotus said that Tiancai Dibao cannot be cultivated alone, but what if the cultivated person is a flower god?

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an was a little excited, but kept his mind very well.

Seeing his lack of interest, the princess quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened to Aunt Zhang just now?" Xu Qi'an asked as he walked into the house.

He followed the fragrance into the house, walked to the stove, and opened the lid of the pot. Salted peanuts were boiled in the pot, and some spices were put in it.

"The one who lives nearby, she was at our house the other day... I fell outside my house and looked at the poor, so she helped. After that, she often came to help me , Peanuts were also sent by her."

The princess sat on the small wooden bar, the small bowl was placed on her lap, and said:

"Her son is in the medicine business, and it is said that there are several shops in the inner and outer cities. Because the daughter-in-law doesn't like her, her son bought a small courtyard nearby to house his old mother. Whenever she meets people, she says that she has many sons. Be filial, buy her a house."

Xu Qi'an leaned on the stove, ate salted peanuts, smashed the peanut shells on her feet, and hummed, "What happened just now."

The princess shrank her feet, glared at each other, and sneered: "I said my husband is dead, and a little ruffian next door covets my beauty. He wants to be rough several times and takes advantage of me.

"I sold the house and moved here. Unexpectedly, he came to find the house and said that he would come to live in every two days."

Xu Qi'an disdainfully said: "Covet your beauty? Princess, look in the mirror before talking."

The princess said: "You are not allowed to eat my peanuts."

"Just eat."

"No eating."

"Just eat."

All morning, Xu Qi'an spent the whole morning in the princess’s small courtyard, sitting in the courtyard weaving bamboo baskets for her, mending wooden barrels, making small hoes, chopping wood... and laying them in the courtyard. A small stove for boiling water.

While he was working, the princess sat on the bamboo chair and watched, a little lost.

When it was almost time, she got up in silence and went into the room, cooking a few dishes perfunctorily.

"Is it delicious?"

At the dining table, she put her cheek in her hand and blinked at Xu Qi'an.

True Nima is unpalatable.........Xu Qi'an hypocritically said: "Cooking skills have improved."

The princess suddenly laughed, eyes like crescent moons, and hummed: "Then you finish all the food."

"What about you?"

"I'm not hungry, I'm full of peanuts."

Xu Qi'an nodded and immersed himself in the meal. After a while, he ate all the dishes she had cooked, and almost licked the plate. The princess looked at him blankly, somewhat surprised.

Her own cooking skills are still very clear, after all, the tongue will not deceive.

"This is how life is, it's true."

When Xu Qi'an spoke, she glanced at Princess Tsundere. She seemed a little moved, her eyes softer, but she hid it well.

When he saw it, he stretched his hand into his arms, tapped the mirror surface, and poured out a small lotus root.

"I went to Jianzhou on this trip. I didn't intentionally break my promise not to accompany you." Xu Qi'an apologized sincerely.

"Who wants you to accompany you." The princess curled her lips and kept her head away.

"It's not a trip for nothing, and I found something interesting." Xu Qi'an put the lotus root on the table and said: "It was given to me by a senior. It is said to be a treasure, but it has withered."

The color of lotus root is dim, with many wrinkles on the surface, and the whole is shrinking.

"What is this?" The princess was attracted.

"I don't know, it's a baby anyway." Xu Qi'an sighed with emotion:

"This thing is very important to me, but it seems that I can't support it. But even if it withers, it's a medicine. It's not a trip for nothing."

Mun Nanzhi is very sensitive to her identity, and Xu Qi'an doesn't want her to know that she has seen her true identity so as not to cause her unnecessary panic.

The princess thought for a while, took the lotus root, wiped it on her sleeve, then exposed her white teeth and took a bite.

Xu Qi'an was caught off guard, too late to stop.

The princess chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed, and commented happily: "It's pretty sweet. Well, it's still alive, it's good to raise it for a while."

"!!!"

Xu Qi'an's heart shook, and he was swallowed by immense joy. He didn't expect to get such a reply from a random attempt.

If this small lotus root can be successfully cultivated, there will be a second nine-color lotus in the world, which can grow on its own and bear lotus...

Xu Qi'an, the **** of lotus seeds, has seen it before, and from now on, he will get twenty-four lotus seeds for every one he passes.

This, this.........

In addition, if the lotus root can grow up, the conditions of the ancestor of the Wulin League will be satisfied. If he could be promoted to the second rank by using lotus root, he would owe himself a prodigious favor.

In the future, the ancestor of the Wulin League will become one of his biggest trump cards.

Xu Qi'an's heart warmed up quietly, tried his best to contain the excitement, and calmly said: "Then you can try, um, if you don't support it, remember to return it to me. I have another role."

If there is no support, I will take it to the national teacher.

The princess nodded.

Wait, why did the national teacher ask me to ask for this lotus root? She is the head of the human sect, and she should know that the nine-color lotus root is difficult to cultivate, so the purpose is probably to refine medicine.

If you can concoct medicine, why should I ask for it? Do you just say it casually, or do you have another purpose?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the princess.

No, it is impossible for Luo Yuheng to know that she was secretly raised by me. Well, I am not familiar with the Chinese teacher, and I don't know her well, so I can't make a hasty conclusion.

I thought that the princess was a mascot, as long as she was beautiful, but I didn’t expect to give me such a big surprise. Every fish in my pond is useful..........Xu Qi’an Heartfelt emotion.

At this time, the princess hesitated for a moment, and said a little bit of a whisper: "I, I have spent all my money..."

Speaking of this, I don’t seem to be used to asking men to stretch out their hands for money. This will make it appear that she is a concubine raised outside, so she turned her face away and said softly:

"Yes, can you give me more."

Didn’t I just give you fifteen taels before I left? Five days will be almost spent? Xu Qi'an glanced at her and said nothing.

Aware of his silence, the princess suddenly turned her head, glanced at him, turned her face away, and said coldly: "Just forget it if you don't give it."

She was a little wronged.

Xu Qi'an poured five silver ingots from the fragments of the ground book, one in ten taels, and placed them on the table one by one, then crushed them like biscuits, and squeezed them into one grain.

"You are a woman, it is best not to use official silver and silver ingots. Broken silver is enough. This is not easy to attract outsiders to worry about. What I just thought was that when I gave you silver ingots, I didn't take this into consideration. Very self-blame.

"Since you can't stay with you all the time, you should pay attention to these details. This is my mistake and it won't happen in the future."

He has a sincere tone and a sincere expression.

The princess still looked out the door, but she made a soft "um" in her voice, indicating that she was not angry anymore.

...........

In the next half day, Xu Qi'an took the princess to the downtown area, bought rouge gouache, added vegetable rice oil and salt, and beautiful dresses. Before dusk, he led the little mare that had been left out for a long time.

As soon as he left with his front foot, Aunt Zhang came with his back foot.

Looking at the big and small things in the house, Aunt Zhang was surprised and said: "Ms. Mu, your man is gone? Tsk tsk, buy so many things, it will cost dozens of taels."

Aunt Zhang glanced a few times and found that they were all her daughter's supplies and objects, and she screamed again and again: "Oh, your man is so kind to you."

The princess was a little proud, her eyebrows were curled, but in front of outsiders, she never revealed her nature, she said dignifiedly and gently:

"My man looks after the nursing home for the big family. He doesn't come back on weekdays. Even if he does, he has to go back before dusk. In the morning, I was angry that he ignored me and lied to you. Don't be surprised, Aunt Zhang." /

Speaking, handed a pack of lamb and a box of rouge.

Aunt Zhang waved her hand quickly: "I am an old lady who needs these, so I will accept the lamb."

The old woman smiled eagerly on her face.

She doesn't doubt Mu Nanzhi, if she were to be a pretty beauty, Aunt Zhang might suspect that this was the outer room raised by a certain elder.

But although this lady Mu has a plump body, her face is a little plain. Even as a disciple in the market, he wouldn't think too much of such a mediocre woman.

............

Xu Mansion.

Xu Qi'an wore a strong black outfit and took the little mare home. The brocade dress was changed when he hooked up the fence.

He didn't bother to change it.

At the table, Xu Ershu drank wine and asked: "Where did you go this time."

Xu Qi'an bowed his head to eat: "Jianzhou, I helped my friend in a fight."

"The Heavenly Sect Saintess and Lina are going too?"

"Hmm."

Xu Ershu seized the opportunity to teach his nephew: "Don't always fight and kill, one mountain is even high, Jianzhou is the holy land of Dafeng martial arts, there are countless masters.

"Looking at you like this, it means that your friend did not provoke a strong man, otherwise..."

Xu Xinnian swallowed the rice and said, "Jianzhou, is there the Wulin League state?"

"No, the Jianzhou Wulin League is so powerful that the local officials have to bow their heads. Moreover, they are particularly united, and they will bring out a group if they mess with one."

"The leader of the Wulin League is Cao Qingyang, the top three in the Jianghu Martial Arts Ranking, right?"

"Yes, Jianzhou is a forbidden place for the villains of the rivers and lakes, just the opposite of Yunzhou. Then Cao Qingyang is a generation of heroes in the rivers and lakes."

My aunt, a womanly family, listened with gusto, and asked: "Is that better than Ningyan?"

The unlucky nephew is in her aunt's heart, just like the world's number one master, she is very convinced in her heart without saying anything.

The second uncle pondered for a moment, and shook his head: "Ning Yan is still far away. After five years of practice, he may be able to compete with that leader. And they don't buy the government's face."

He knows that his nephew is a sixth grade.

When my aunt heard this, she hurriedly said: "Fortunately, Ning Yan didn't provoke others, so why did she go to Jianzhou for a fight?"

Xu Lingyue speaks for her eldest brother, judo: "Father, elder brother does things well. The Wulin League is so powerful, he will not provoke him."

Xu Qi'an ate without a word.

At the end of the dinner, Xu Xinnian put down the dishes and said: "Brother, come to my study."

The brothers walked out of the front hall side by side and into the study.

Xu Xinnian closed the door, walked straight to the desk, drew out a thick stack of paper, and said: "Emperor Yuan Jing became the throne for 20 years until Yuan Jing, and all the living records of the 20 years are here."

Xu Qi'an glanced, closed his eyes, and said helplessly: "You are cursive...No, in just five days, you have collected the records of Emperor Yuan Jing's twenty years of life?"

Xu Erlang raised his chin in response to the shocked gaze of his elder brother, with a very proud but calm attitude, and said:

"I have been promoted to the seventh rank. The seventh rank of Confucianism is called the benevolent. If you want to step into this rank, you must understand benevolence and righteousness. The benevolent, loving the world, is a moral model. Only the benevolent can cultivate the righteousness. , Is the basis of the Fourth Stage Gentleman Realm.

"Of course, I am still far from the fourth rank, so this is not something to be happy about. For me, it is just a small step."

It's not worthy of joy, then you still talk so much...Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, thought about it, and asked:

"Does the benevolent have any combat power bonus?"

Xu Erlang's face suddenly stiffened: "No, it just made my memory and physique stronger."

Puff, isn't that still a weak chicken.... Xu Qi'an held back a smile, picked up the daily record, and read it carefully.

This cursive script is really...cursive~IndoMTL.com~ Xu Qi'an looked at it for a while, and wanted to scold her.

The ancient cursive script is similar to the signatures of celebrities in his previous life, and it is not for people to see. Of course, scholars can understand, because cursive script has a fixed body.

But Xu Qi'an is not a scholar.

"Read it to me."

"...Okay."

The two brothers listened to one, read the other, and exchanged two candles.

During the period, Xu Erlang kept drinking tea to moisturize his throat and went to the toilet twice.

The emperor’s daily life records are some words and deeds in daily life and in the process of discussion.

Xu Erlang didn't record all of them. He automatically deleted some apparently meaningless daily conversations.

I didn't finish reading it until late in the night.

Xu Qi Anwu closed his eyes for a long time, and when he had completely digested the content, opened his eyes, and said with some disappointment:

"There is no value, at least I can't see it now."

Xu Erlang asked: "What on earth are you going to investigate Emperor Yuanjing?"

"I don't know, I just think he has a problem, um, I don't think it is a problem. After returning from Jianzhou, I am more sure that our majesty is not as simple as the surface.

"But where is the problem, I am not sure, there is no clear direction. I can only collect his related deeds as much as possible to see if I can find clues from it."

Xu Qi'an said.

"Yuan Jing Quan Shu reached its peak, where is it simple?"

Xu Erlang spit out, and then said: "Did he ask me, I don't know, but I know there is a problem with this personal record."

Xu Qi'an was taken aback, "What's wrong with the daily recording."

............

PS: I felt that I had coded forty thousand words, and it turned out to be only four thousand. My head is bald, and 6,000 words are indeed the limit of human beings, and I surpass the limit every day, and I am getting more 8,000 words every day.
