After the Legend Chapter 49: From afar

Xiao Tianjian went out and turned onto the street. After walking through two intersections, he came to the branch of the Xiao Family Business Firm in the Magic City located in the next block. The chief and deputy stewards were busy welcoming him into the backyard.

As soon as he sat down, he took out the letter and asked, "What's written on it? Your people just leave the letter and leave without telling me clearly. He is still young, how can he take the knight exam? He is still injured? /

The manager wiped his sweat and glanced at his deputy, who hurriedly said: "I just came back from Yidong, and I have heard about these things. The young master's decision to take the apprentice knight exam for young master Bevin is the decision of the young master. , I heard that His Majesty the King intends to reform the content of the knighthood exam from next year, so many sons of the family are rushing to take the exam this year, and the eldest young master just doesn't want to fall behind. The young master Bevin worked very hard and passed it smoothly. It's not too heavy, but the eldest young master and the eldest young lady were very worried after hearing about it. They delivered the medicine to the knights themselves, but they were stopped at the gate by the city knights who were in charge of guarding them, saying that people outside were not allowed to bring anything inside. The eldest young master saw that the second young master was there, and originally wanted him to be sent in, but the second young master refused, so they quarreled. Later, the young master Bevin's injury was treated by the knight's doctor."

Xiao Tianjian frowned, but said nothing. The head and deputy stewards looked at each other, the former winked at the latter, and the deputy steward said: "Actually, this matter is nothing at all, it is normal for the eldest young master to care about his son, and the second young master abides by the rules of the knights. That's right. Originally, many families would send things to their sons in private, but at that time, the eldest young master spoke too loudly, and everyone around heard it. …”

"The third young master of the Heda family?" Xiao Tianjian's face was a little unsightly, "An Long is still in contact with him?"

"They are now good friends. I heard that the second young master is often with the third young master of the Heda family, and he has quarreled with the first young master several times over this, and even slammed the boss for the third young master of the Heda family. "

Xiao Tianjian pursed his lips and did not speak. After a while, he continued to ask, "What kind of person is this kid from the Heda family?"

"This third young master has always been not taken seriously in the family, and I have not heard of any special talents, but he has no bad habits, just a little grumpy and a little withdrawn. He has a good reputation in the Cavaliers. , but he is not close to his family, and rarely participates in family social interactions. Since he became friendly with the second young master, it is said that his temper has improved a lot and he has become closer to his family. He specially invited the second young master to the New Year's dinner at Heda's house. To participate, Duke Heda deliberately taunted the second young master, and he also said a lot of good things for the second young master."

Xiao Tianjian squinted his eyes. He suddenly remembered what happened in Qidu. The illegitimate son of the Heda family, Amon, was suspected of treason. Their entire family was not very innocent. Contact with the son of the Heda family, and even contact with the people of the Heda family, could it be from the Security Department?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tianjian couldn't sit still. Does this stupid son think Infernal Affairs is so easy to do? Not to mention that the Xiao family and the Heda family have had a grudge for many years, just the son raised by the Heda family may not be a good person. If the other party finds out the truth, An Long will be in danger.

He got up and paced back and forth, and suddenly asked, "What happened to An Long and his wife? Isn't it related to this third kid from the Heda family?"

The manager looked a little weird when he heard this, and his deputy hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with him. The second young master and the second young lady quarreled because of Miss Veronica. The old man Sherwin is sick. , the second young master went to help take care of it, and had more contact with Miss Veronica. The second young lady didn't know the truth, so she got angry and had a big fight in the New Year. In fact, she just misunderstood, as long as the second young master explained it well It will be all right, but for some reason, the second young master didn't say anything, and the second young lady went back to her parents' house in anger. It is strange to say that since the second young lady came to Yidong at the end of last year, the second young master seemed to be a little unhappy. "

The more Xiao Tianjian listened, the tighter his brows became. The second son's behavior was indeed a bit strange. Combined with the situation he observed immediately, he had a bad premonition. It seems that he should investigate this matter carefully.

Leaving the business in a hurry, he traversed several blocks to the other half of the magic capital and walked into a kitchenware store. The business in the store was bleak. There were only two clerks chatting and wiping the goods. When Xiao Tianjian walked in the door, he dropped the rag and greeted him enthusiastically: "What kind of kitchen utensils do customers want? Is it a pot or a bowl? Plates? We have everything in the store, and it's definitely worth the money." They also showed him a wide range of frying pans, wooden spoons, white porcelain plates, painted tea sets, and more.

Xiao Tianjian has no interest in these things, and just said dryly: "I heard that you have a purple casserole from the East here, which is most suitable for stewing soup. How much does one cost? Is ten gold coins enough?"

As soon as the two shop assistants heard his words, they looked at each other immediately, one quickly walked to the door of the shop to stand, the other smiled and said, "This is a big business, please come to the shop and drink tea, our boss will personally Talk to you." After speaking, he invited him to the room at the back of the store. After a while, a thin middle-aged man appeared in front of him and asked solemnly, "Is it Lord Earl Xiao? What do you want from us? thing?"

Xiao Tianjian smiled slightly: "Originally, I never interfered in your affairs, but... I recently heard some strange rumors about my son, and wanted to come to you and ask."

======================I am the dividing line of the transition scene =================== ===

Ming Na didn't know what happened to Grandpa. She waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for Grandpa to come back. She was hungry again, so she ate the bread from the kitchen. Suddenly I heard the sound of the piano behind the house, so I followed the sound to the backyard and opened the door.

In the river behind the door, a young man is sitting on a small sampan, holding a lyre in his arms, and is singing a love song: "...My beloved girl, your face is as delicate as a water lotus, and your voice is stronger than that of a yellow warbler. Birds are more sweet, my heart is trembling for you, please accept my love..."

He doesn't sing very well and plays the violin very well, but everyone around him smiles at him and cheers him up from time to time.

The object of his love song is a girl from Minna's neighbor's house. She looks only seventeen or eighteen years old. She has fluffy brown long curly hair, tied behind her ear with a silver-blue hair band, and has thick eyebrows. With big eyes, he showed a small tiger tooth when he smiled, which was very bright and moving. She was wearing a loose white gauze dress with a lotus leaf collar and blouson sleeves. She had a large floral silk scarf around her waist, which was simply tied in a knot. A slender white calf was exposed under the skirt. She had a pair of red shoes on her feet. Step on the stone pier mooring the boat at her small pier. She put her hands on her hips and listened to the love song with a smile on her face.

After the young man finished singing, he picked up a large bunch of pink water lotus on the end of the sampan and handed it to his sweetheart: "Luba, I love you, please marry me!" The whistle was blown, and several women laughed.

"Stinky boy, you say this every time, is it annoying?" The girl named Luba gave him an angry look, and happily took the bouquet, but refused to say whether she would marry or not. . The young man took the flowers into his arms and said with a smile: "If you don't promise me for a day, I will never be annoyed. Dear Luba, promise me."

Luba just smelled the fragrance of the flowers and smiled, and the people around her booed when they saw it. The young man immediately booed back: "What's your business? Go go." Some people were not convinced: "I said Wise , we are also cheering for you, what are you?" Another young man interjected: "I don't think you are worthy of Luba, but Luba is a flower in our civilian West District, so you won't like it. You toad."

"You're the toad!" This time it was Luba who spoke out, "I just like Wise, you don't need to meddle in your own business." After that, he wrapped his arms around Wise's neck and kissed him. lips, provoked a few whistles around. Wise was blinded at first, but soon kissed back in ecstasy, and the two were inextricably entangled.

Ming Na covered her eyes, but couldn't help cracking her fingers to take a peek, secretly laughing, she suddenly heard a sound from the front hall, she hurriedly retreated into the courtyard, ran into the room, Seeing that Xiao Tianjian was back, he rushed over: "Grandpa, you are back, I'm starving to death, I couldn't help but eat some bread first. Where have you been?"

Xiao Tianjian put down a bag of food apologetically: "I'm sorry, I ran into a few old friends just now and chatted a little more, this is the freshly baked puff and orange cake, I remember your favorite food is Isn't it?"

Minna cheered, jumped up, and ate the cake beautifully. Xiao Tianjian looked at his granddaughter's greedy appearance with a smile, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Ming Na, there is something grandpa wants to discuss with you. I want to hurry back to Yidong as soon as possible."

Minna blinked and asked happily, "Then will I be able to see my dad soon? I'll go pack my luggage!"

As soon as she turned around, Xiao Tianjian broke her dream: "No... I mean I'm going back alone, you have to stay here."

Ming Na was taken aback and asked with wide eyes, "Why?"

"Because I'm going back to attend Bevin's entrance ceremony. Knight Academy is closed teaching. Once Bevin enters the school, he won't be able to go home for three full years. His dad wants me to visit him. The ceremony will be held in ten days. , In order to hurry, I have to cross the Great Yarrow Forest, it is very dangerous, it will be very inconvenient to take you." In fact, Yidong's situation is unknown, for safety and to convince his son, Xiao Tianjian does not intend to let his granddaughter go back .

"I'm not afraid!" Ming Na shouted, "I've even been to the Great Elf Forest, and the snowy mountains and deserts can't be **** me. I won't drag my grandfather down!"

"No." Xiao Tianjian said helplessly, "You haven't mastered your Qinggong yet, so you can't travel as fast as I do. If you take you with you, it's impossible to reach Yidong within ten days. Mingna, I don't want to miss Beibei. Wen's entrance ceremony, that means I won't see him in the next three years."

Ming Na's mouth was flat, and she became angry: "But I want to see my parents, I want to see my parents! You can't leave me! You can't talk without saying anything! I want to see my parents..."

Xiao Tianjian was shocked by her yelling, and his scalp was numb, and he said anxiously: "Even if you go back with me, you will not see your parents. I just went to the Xiao family branch to ask, your father will go. Matt is looking for your mother, not in Ito now."

Ming Na stopped shouting after hearing the words, thought for a while, and said, "There is still Grandpa Marshall, anyway, Mom and Dad will come back."

"Marshall also followed your father." Xiao Tianjian had to bite the bullet and continue to make up, "So now your father has no one in Yidong's house, and you won't see anyone when you go."

Ming Na flattened her mouth aggrieved, sat on the sofa next to her, and kicked the coffee table. Xiao Tianjian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately changed his smile to reassure her: "Actually, it's better for you to stay for the time being. You also know that your father and uncle don't get along well, right? If you go back now, both parents are not there, Are you going to live at your uncle's house?"

Minna thought about it too, and moved uncomfortably. Xiao Tianjian was busy striking while the iron was hot: "When I finish attending Bevin's entrance ceremony, your father will probably bring your mother back to Yidong, so I'll let them pick you up, okay? When the course of treatment on your side is over, you Mom and Dad will be very happy to see you in good health."

Ming Na was silent for a while before she asked in a low voice, "Grandpa is telling the truth this time? He won't change his mind again, will he?"

Xiao Tianjian was ashamed: "Of course not." In the past, it was a last resort, but this time, even if he was tied, he would also tie his son over. It's better not to let him get too deep in such a dangerous thing.

Finally persuaded the little granddaughter, Xiao Tianjian began to consider more practical issues: "The city of magic is very safe, even if it doesn't close at night, don't worry, I will ask Hanlin for some alchemy products for housework, and I will get it today. I also have one for the stove in the house... but you are so young, it would be more appropriate to find someone to take care of it. Well... the neighbor couple seems to be a servant in the house of a great magician. I remember that his daughter is free. Please invite her to accompany you, and take you to Sauron's house by the way."

Minna asked, "Is his daughter's name Luba?"

"How do you know?"

"On the back river just now, someone sang a love song to her, and I also saw her kissing that person." Ming Na pursed her lips and smiled. Xiao Tianjian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Is that little girl already this age? Time flies really fast."

He soon found the girl Luba, who happily agreed, and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, my lover is working as a handyman at Shaonan No. 1 Magic Academy, just by the way." Ming Na asked curiously: "Your lover? Was it the one who sang the love song just now?" Luba smiled and pinched her nose: "Yeah, did you see that too? Isn't he handsome?" Ming Na "Uh" for a long time before she nodded reluctantly, Luba laughed and hugged her head and rubbed her head: "Oh, Xiao Mingna, you are so cute."

As things settled, Xiao Tianjian immediately paid Luba ten gold coins as a reward, and took Ming Na to explain the reason to Sauron. When the latter heard that Ming Na might spend a long time with him, his face immediately became stinky. In the end, Xiao Tianjian reluctantly nodded his head after he promised to collect a variety of rare magic materials for him in the Great Yarrow Forest when he came back.

Then Xiao Tianjian greeted Hanlin and the Xiao family branch again, and asked for a variety of household alchemy products such as sweeping turtles, rag bats, magic stoves, and several bags of money, and brought Mingna to buy a magic wand as a spare. I also went to the police station and the fire brigade to check again, and asked my granddaughter a lot of words before I let go.

The next day, Ming Na, Luba and the branch manager sent Xiao Tianjian to the boat. Baldman had already returned to Encore City, so the ship was hired. Xiao Tianjian touched his little granddaughter's head and said solemnly, "You have to be obedient and take good care of yourself, you know? Don't go to a place you don't know because of playfulness. If you have something to do, go to Sister Luba or Uncle Hanlin, or go directly to the The police can also ask for help.”

Ming Na nodded and said seriously: "Grandpa will come back early, remember to bring your parents."

Xiao Tianjian paused for a while, nodded with a smile, and then warned Luba again before he left the magic capital by boat.

Minna started her own life. At first she thought it would be difficult, but after two or three days, she found that it was not as difficult as she thought.

Every morning, Luba would knock on her door with breakfast to wake Minna from her sleep. After breakfast, the two of them drove together to the Shaonan First Magic Academy on the top of the mountain. Sauron's home is in the academy, right next to the potions classroom. When they got there, Luba went to find her sweetheart, while Minna stayed in Sauron's room. Luba is with the potionist (his housekeeper is really not very good at it), drinking medicine in the afternoon, Luba will come to pick her up before dinner, go shopping on the way, or go to interesting places to play. Dinner is sometimes served at a small restaurant near the house, sometimes Luba or her mother makes it, and sometimes Minna does it herself. Practice magic or potions at night, or chat with Luba, listen to Wise sing love songs, and fall asleep to the sound of singing and piano.

As for cleaning, Luba will do the laundry. Every day before going out, let out sweeping turtles and rag bats, and they will automatically clean the house.

Ming Na usually eats whatever she likes. She has money in her hand, and Luba doesn't restrict her too much, so she lives a leisurely life and is more comfortable than when her grandfather was there. The only troublesome thing is that in the devil Most of the day at the pharmacist's house.

Sauron is an academy professor. Although he is relatively idle, he still has a lot to do. He has to attend classes, correct homework, do experiments, and prepare potions, and he can't have the time to pay attention to a little girl. Therefore, once he finishes taking the medicine every day and ensures that the potion works smoothly, he will leave her aside and ignore it. He also hinted many times to let her go to Hanlin's side.

However, Hanlin was so full of inspiration recently that he was so busy that he didn't have time to pay attention to Ming Na, so Ming Na had to stay at Sauron's house. After being obedient for a long time, she finally couldn't bear it any longer. She looked around, or climbed the window to look at the people outside, or peeked at the potion that Sauron was cooking.

When she accidentally dropped her hair into the pot while peeking at the contents of the cauldron for the third time, and the potion failed to brew, Sauron finally got furious: "You are very busy, aren't you?! Don't peek at me again. The potion!"

Minna shrank her neck: "I'm sorry..." But she was also aggrieved: "I'm bored, I can't read the books here, and you don't allow me to practice potions here..."

"You are also worthy of a potion?!" Sauron became even more angry, "That's just a kid's house wine! Do you want to practice potion? Very good!" He threw a cinnamon stick : "Can you handle this? Peel off the bark, and then cut the branches into 1-centimeter pieces! Let's practice!" After that, he turned around to deal with the failed work.

Minna looked at the twig that was as thick as two of hers, with a flat mouth, peeled and cut it into sections according to the method she learned from Sennett.

After working for a long time, her hands were sore. Who knew that when Sauron came over for inspection, he cursed: "What is this called? The branches have to be cut into one centimeter, one centimeter! You are three centimeters! The bark is also peeled off. Different sizes~IndoMTL.com~ also stained my carpet." He waved his wand and cast a cleaning spell, and after cleaning up the debris, he shouted angrily: "Rework it for me. !”

Ming Na looked unconvinced and a little aggrieved. She didn't come to be an apprentice, why did she help him?

Seeing this, Sauron sarcastically said: "What? Can't do it? Then don't say that you have learned potions! I learned a little bit from that guy Sennet, and that's the level."

Ming Na is furious, who is afraid of whom? She won't admit defeat! So I continued to do it earnestly. Sauron caught a glimpse from the side, and the corners of his mouth curled up proudly.

In this way, two months had passed by the time Minna had cut more than 40 kinds of branches, squeezed the juice of more than 10 kinds of fruits, and started to learn to cut leaves. The strengthening potion has already completed the course of treatment, and the effect is quite good. Now she does not feel tired running from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

However, Xiao Tianjian has not returned.

Minna is very angry, this is not the first time, grandpa is a big bad guy!

She kicked off the small stone at her feet and walked to her temporary residence for more than two months, holding a small embroidered satchel in her hand, which was a May Day gift from Luba to her. .

When she arrived at the door, she found that the door was open, she was stunned, snorted coldly, and strode into the house, saw Xiao Tianjian who greeted her with a smile, shook her head, and walked upstairs.

"Xiao Mingna, this way, look this way, look who is here?" Xiao Tianjian snickered from behind.

Minna hesitated for a while, but turned around. When she saw the figure in the hall, she was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic: "Dad!"
