After the Legend Chapter 5: Tianlun
After Veronica set off for Maiton, Anron packed her bags and headed out the next day. Seeing that his son was going on a business trip, Xiao Tianjian hesitantly asked him how many days he was going to go, so as to determine his itinerary. An Long raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "If my father is in a hurry, he can do it. Qidun is only a small place in the countryside, and it is not worthy of a hero like you. It is too sinful to let you live here." Xiao Tianjian was silent and did not mention this matter again.
After An Long left, Xiao Tianjian wandered around in and out of the small town every day, and his life was easy. He still lives in the study. As a homeless hero who often eats and sleeps in the open air, he doesn't feel that there is anything unaccustomed to, but Dora is very uneasy, and always tries to get him some comfortable pillows and bedding. Winnie also put the The bed was adjusted again and again, and finally Xiao Tianjian became impatient, implying that it was summer now for his daughter-in-law, and laying so many things on the bed would cause him to heat up and get prickly heat, so he stopped their neurotic behavior.
However, when he saw that Dora had to plan carefully every day, move as much money as possible from her limited income, buy good food and drink to entertain herself, and even use her savings, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He has never been short of money, not to mention that the business under his name can earn a lot of gold coins for him to squander every year, and he often makes some windfalls when he takes risks. The eldest son, Yunlong's family, has always lived a rich and even luxurious life. More than once he persuaded the eldest son to be simple.
But he never imagined that An Long, who is also his son, lived in such a miserable life that he couldn't even guarantee to eat meat every day. In order to entertain him, his daughter-in-law had to do everything possible to save money from other places. Only now did he deeply realize that he owed An Long, his son, not only in terms of feelings and responsibilities, but even a prosperous and worry-free life. He remembered that An Long seemed to have vaguely mentioned that since he became an adult, he has never asked Kaduo for money again, and even the cost of Meili's treatment was paid by An Long himself with the salary of the knight.
Xiao Tianjian felt guilty, he took out a bag of gold and gave it to Dora, saying that it was the food expenses for his temporary stay at their house. This bag of money was almost three times Anlong's monthly salary, enough for ten days' expenses. But to his surprise, Dora flatly refused.
She said: "You can come to our house as a guest, we are very welcome, how can we ask for your money? Our family is not an inn." Most importantly, let Ito City know, What will Elon and Lilith think? She will definitely laugh at her and Anlong.
Xiao Tianjian had no choice but to withdraw the bag of money, but his perception of this daughter-in-law was much better. Although it was annoying to pay attention to etiquette everywhere, it was really rare to have such a backbone. So he changed his approach and bought some meat or candy from time to time while he was hanging out, claiming that it was just a "little gift from the elders". Because they were all of little value, Dora did not refuse, but ordered Winnie to make some cakes in return.
Xiao Tianjian looked at the table full of delicious pastries and had a better view of his daughter-in-law. He saw that Dora had to take care of the flowers and plants in the garden and discipline her naughty daughter every day in addition to taking care of the housework. It was really hard. Thinking that he was idle anyway, he took the initiative to take over the responsibility of taking care of his little granddaughter. Dora was worried that she didn't have time to prepare for the May Day dance, and in the middle of her arms, she hurriedly handed Minna over to her grandfather.
Ming Na is very happy, she likes this grandpa very much, and it is really wonderful to be able to get rid of her mother's broken thoughts. After two days of getting along, Xiao Tianjian also deeply realized that the essence of this little granddaughter is far from the "timid" little girl when they first met, or that she doesn't seem to be a person at all. God knows how he thought this child was cute and well-behaved in the first place? She is simply a naughty person, daring, if she doesn't pay attention for a while, she doesn't know where to go.
However, her temperament is more pleasing to him than his grandson Bevin. Bevan was also very eccentric when he was a child, but the older he got, the more honest and old-fashioned he became. He was only twelve years old this year, and he was no different from an adult. He was not fun at all, not as lively as this little granddaughter. Thinking like this, he pampered Minna a little more. Not only did he run around with her, but he often told her stories about his adventures, and even took her to the bars in the small town to open her eyes. Of course, drinking is strictly prohibited. forbidden.
In this way, Ming Na likes Grandpa more. Although he is younger and more like his uncle, he is really good, isn't he? As soon as she got acquainted, she took Xiao Tianjian to her "secret base". In addition to the big tree when they first met, there was also a cave on the hillside at the end of the woods.
She mysteriously dragged out an old wooden box from the depths of the cave. The lock on the box was broken, and it seemed that it was a waste thrown away by someone who saw it was useless. When she opened the wooden box, there were "treasures" she had collected. In fact, it was a complete cicada shell, a newly shed snake skin, more than a dozen large pine cones, a few beautiful stones, and an old knight's hat that had lost its hair. , a dirty red felt cloth, and a half rusted knife.
Minna wrapped the felt cloth around her body, put on an old top hat, brandished a rusty knife, and shouted, "Warrior, what's your name? I'm going to fight with you!" swinging a knife.
Xiao Tianjian saw it, but was speechless for a while before he said: "Ming Na, you...you are a girl...don't you play this normally? Don't you play with dolls? Don't like beautiful clothes and jewelry? Or beautiful flowers? That's fine." The granddaughter didn't hesitate to put the dusty cloth over her body, doesn't she think it's dirty?
Minna stopped swinging the knife, blinked and said, "Dolls? Do you mean dolls? I don't like that, beautiful clothes and jewelry, my mom likes it, and she likes flowers. I like duels best. The game is over, all the children here are not my opponents! Grandpa, am I very good?" After that, he waved the knife again.
Xiao Tianjian looked at her unruly movements, nodded reluctantly, and asked, "Have you played with other children? Do you all play this? Do girls here also play this kind of game?" No Will you? His daughter-in-law said that this was a backcountry full of rough people. He thought it was prejudice, but if the folk customs were so "simple" that even girls could only fight people with the garbage they picked up, he would really have nothing to say, even if it was an act. Needle and thread are all good at picking flowers and picking fruits.
Minna said: "My mother doesn't allow me to play with the butcher's daughter, and the grocery store's daughter has to help her parents look after the store. Suzanne from Captain Knight's house is only one year older than me. She likes to play with dolls, but she eats When biscuits are biscuits, she will raise her pinky finger, and she will pretend to talk, and she will always say that I am not ladylike, which is the most annoying. I used to only play with boys, but they were all afraid of me, so I had to play alone."
Xiao Tianjian patted his granddaughter's head lovingly: "It doesn't matter, that's because they have no vision." It seems that Xiao Mingna's personality is more boyish. Very normal. He thought for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea: "Ming Na, you have probably heard of it, right? Grandpa's swordsmanship is very good, and he can also learn a lot of kung fu. Do you want to learn it? It's not a trick played by children, It's real martial arts." Anyway, he has taught a grandson, one more or one less is fine, he doesn't have a patriarchal mindset.
Ming Na's eyes lit up when she heard the words: "Then can I learn the martial arts you used when you took me home from the woods that day? It's like flying up with a bang. I want to learn that!" She never forgot That feeling, these two days, I often force my grandfather to "fly" with her.
Xiao Tianjian naturally knew it, and smiled bitterly: "That's Qinggong, not a martial art. I'm referring to the method of defeating the enemy with a sword, not this kind of knife." He pointed to the rusty knife in his granddaughter's hand and stretched out his hand. He pulled out a sword from behind: "It's this kind of long straight sword, a little thinner than what you've seen before. It's our Chinese swordsmanship."
Ming Na only glanced at the sword quickly, but she was more interested in Xiao Tianjian's back. She remembered that he also slipped a sword out of his sleeve that night, but he was wearing such thin and neat clothes, No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it can hide such a big thing.
Xiao Tianjian avoided his granddaughter's investigation, saw her staring at him curiously with wide eyes, coughed lightly, stretched out his right palm, and showed her a simple ring on his hand. Whispered: "Don't tell others, this is a storage ring. It can store a lot of things. My sword is usually placed in it."
Minna looked at the ring excitedly and wanted to take it off to take a closer look. Xiao Tianjian stopped her with a headache. In order to protect his property, he quickly changed the subject: "Didn't you say you want to learn Qinggong? Grandpa will teach you."
But when it comes to learning, they run into trouble. Ming Na is only a six-year-old child, and she doesn't know anything about Chinese culture. She doesn't even know where is Dantian, where is Baihui Point, and she can't understand what "concentration and silence" is, even if Xiao Tianjian pointed out the point for her She didn't know how to get her qi going.
Xiao Tianjian doesn't know what to do. In the past, he only taught people swordsmanship, and rarely taught people internal skills. The only one he taught was his grandson Beiwen. At that time, the children were already ten years old, and they had been practicing martial arts for a long time. They had already mastered some tricks of luck, so there was not much difficulty. But it was the first time for him to teach inexperienced children directly.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to temporarily give up his mind and practice his legs first. He told Minna to run laps around the woods every day, and to maintain a breathing rhythm according to the tricks he taught. Ming Na was still interested in running at first, but gradually became impatient, but Xiao Tianjian attracted her with conditions such as helping her catch crested birds or butterflies, and promised to give her a lot of delicious candy and tell her more about it. The adventure story, she barely persevered.
Dora is a little weird about the way her catholic daughter "runs" and is not happy that he takes her daughter around every day. In her opinion, this heroic father-in-law only needs to stay in the living room and tell his daughter adventure stories, so that her daughter can stay at home obediently and not go out to be naughty, but he not only takes her outside all day, Even take my daughter to the bar. My God, the God of Light is above! What if they encounter hooligans, thieves, robbers or robbers? And I heard that many people challenge the father-in-law, what if they hurt their daughter? !
Winnie scoffed at the hostess' worries: "Miss Dora, what are you worried about? When has such a irritating thing ever happened in a small place like Gedon? Except for the occasional appearance of a dwarf, even The thieves don't look down on it. Besides, with Earl Xiao, who would be his opponent? He is the most powerful person in the whole continent! What are those hooligans, thieves, robbers, and robbers? Even Earl Xiao is one. No fingers can compare!"
Dora knows she's telling the truth, but as a mother she can't help but worry, what's the point of a bar full of greasy people? The trees and mountains outside are full of bugs and snakes. What can be compared to being safe and comfortable at home? As soon as she finished her slander, she expressed her dissatisfaction with the attitude of the dowry nanny: "Winnie, put away your appearance. Although His Excellency the Count looks very attractive, he is actually an old man twenty years older than you. He can't possibly have anything to do with you." Thinking of the night when my father-in-law first came, Winnie fainted as soon as she saw him~IndoMTL.com~ Winnie lamented: "Oh, miss, you It's so cruel, can't I keep a little bit of fantasy hope?"
Since she joined Zhufa's house as a nanny at the age of twelve, her only pleasure outside of work with other young maids has been to inquire and discuss gossip about the rich and aristocratic businessmen, of which the most talked about is the legendary hero Earl Shaw. They were fascinated by his graceful demeanor (legendary), fascinated by his touching love story (legendary) with an elf princess or a female magician, and privately fantasized about being the heroine of his story one day , compose a piece of intoxicating love song (even if it is just a legend).
When Dora wanted to marry An Long, who had an embarrassing status, she didn't approve of it at first, but she reluctantly approved it because she was the son of an epic hero. And now that she can finally meet the hero of her dreams and live in the same house, how could she not be excited? She will use all the good words she can think of to praise him, even Miss Dora can't stop him!
Dora couldn't help but repeatedly stop her **** for Xiao Tianjian: "Winnie! Don't forget that you are a professional nanny!" What a joke? ! If her heroic father-in-law or anyone else found out the minds of her forty-year-old "senior" two-hundred-pound dowry nanny, she'd rather die!
In order to divert Winnie's attention, she quickly asked something else: "I asked you to find out where Goodwin Chuloff was staying. Did you find out?"
Winnie reluctantly regained her senses and returned to her role as a professional nanny: "I found out, it's in the northern fortress 30 kilometers away from here. I heard that it was on business. I have asked the owner of the grocery store to bring it along. The letter is gone, I think Master Chulov will send someone soon."
