Chapter 641 Xiao Yan's Master

"Isn't that normal? People have different temperaments. Tell me about it."

Lu Qiniang was quite interested.

Because she had not seen such an indescribable expression on Xiao Yan's face.

Xiao Yan told her about the past.

This was his first martial arts master, named Feng Zhenting.

Feng Zhenting stayed in the Marquis' Mansion for seven years, raising him from the age of four to eleven.

Two years later, Xiao Yan went to the battlefield.

So for him, Feng Zhenting is a particularly important role in his life.

"Then why didn't you contact me later?" Lu Qiniang was puzzled.

Xiao Yan is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and will always repay a favor.

"Because Master left in anger."

Feng Zhenting was bullied in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Master has a hot temper. When he's angry, anyone dares to contradict him. When I was little, I was also very afraid of him."

But now Xiao Yan thinks that a strict teacher produces good students.

His position in the Marquis' Mansion was awkward, and his master also suffered a lot of grievances.

"I originally had resentment in my heart. He left so cruelly, and my life in the Marquis' Mansion became even more miserable. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to come to the northwest and was able to get rid of it..."

Although Xiao Yan didn't know his true life experience at that time, he could feel the attitude of the Marquis' Mansion towards him.

He has always been troubled by the fact that he is not loved by his parents.

It was not until he met Lu Qinniang and many other things happened that Xiao Yan finally felt relieved.

"But now I understand. Master has such a hot temper. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have stayed in the Marquis' Mansion for seven years."

So Xiao Yan now feels that he owes his master a lot.

"But Master said that after he left the Marquis' Mansion, the relationship between master and disciple was completely severed, and there was no need to look for him in the future."

Lu Qiniang was surprised, "Did something happen that you don't know?"

Xiao Yan nodded. "I was young at that time and didn't notice it. Now that I think about it, that's probably what happened."

"Then we should have contacted each other a long time ago."

"I don't dare."

Lu Qi Niang: "...It's rare that you don't dare to do it."

But she understood.

In Xiao Yan's eyes, the master must be a person that no one dares to offend and is full of respect.

"At that time, Master was only in his twenties, younger than I am now. He had a quick temper and would beat and scold me at will. Later I realized that Master had seen through me all along. If I didn't struggle out of this, my future in the Marquis' Mansion would be ruined."

Xiao Yan's success later on was largely due to the help of his master.

"Why are you so honest?" Lu Qiniang complained, "When parents are angry, they say they don't want the child anymore, and they really can."

Aren’t those just words spoken in anger?

"You too, now that you've come to Luoyang and know that Master is here, are you still waiting for the prefect to host a banquet and invite you to see Master?"

They were waiting for outsiders to prepare a banquet for them. If someone didn't know, they would think that these two people were fighting and were waiting for someone to mediate.

"This is not the right thing to do." Lu Qiniang said, "Go find out where Master lives, then prepare your things and go visit Master."

That was the person who accompanied Xiao Yan through his most helpless time.

Maybe Feng Zhenting was young and impulsive at that time, and taught his children in a simple and rough way, but he must have had good intentions towards Xiao Yan.

Otherwise, Xiao Yan wouldn't be so nervous when it was brought up now, not knowing how to get along better with his master.

"To be honest with you, my body tenses up when I think about meeting Master." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.

"It's rare that you, General Xiao, are afraid of someone." Lu Qiniang laughed at him, "Even if you're nervous, you have to go. It's etiquette."

She asked in detail about Feng Zhenting's age and family situation.

"Master should be nearly fifty years old this year..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yan still felt guilty.

For so many years, he didn't know his master's birthday.

Yes, he is a child and doesn’t understand.

But the Marquis' Mansion should understand that it should express its gratitude on the Master's birthday.

But because of him, the master was also implicated.

But the master never mentioned it.

"...We didn't get married because Master loved to drink and curse when he was drunk, so..."

"That's because no woman is interested in him." Lu Qiniang said.

Although this is Xiao Yan's master, she still thinks that it is better for such a man not to get married, as she is fine on her own.

The next day, when she heard that Xiao Yan was going to take Lu Qin's mother to visit the master, Erya asked curiously, "Mom, I want to go too."

She wanted to see who could have trained a great general like her father.

"I'm going too." Si Ya said in a low voice.

On the way back to Beijing, the little girl bought things everywhere she went because of her second sister's wealth and had become her second sister's loyal follower.

My brother-in-law has to sit in the back row.

In fact, Erya did it on purpose.

She wanted her eldest sister and brother-in-law to spend more time together.

She wants to hold her nephew in her arms as soon as possible.

There hasn't been a child in the family for a long time, so it's not lively.

So when she heard that Erya was going, Siya also wanted to go.

"I'll go too." Yun Ting expressed his opinion.

Wherever Erya goes, he goes.

"You are not allowed to go." Lu Qiniang said unhappily, "Just do what you need to do. If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk. If you go, it will cost me more money."

These are all young people, and everyone should show their respect to them.

"Mom, when we go to see our master, we will naturally not go empty-handed and we will not let him suffer any loss." Erya said immediately.

"That person didn't prepare in advance. That's not good. See you later." Lu Qiniang said.

In fact, she vaguely felt that Feng Zhenting's current life was probably not very good.

Otherwise, at this age, he wouldn’t still be begging for food under someone else’s roof.

Lu Qiniang originally wanted to send someone to deliver the visiting card in advance, but Xiao Yan said that if she did so, she was afraid that the master would avoid her.

So they came straight to the door.

Surprisingly, Feng Zhenting now has a daughter.

——He got married after coming to Luoyang and had a daughter. Unfortunately, his wife passed away a few years ago.

We'll have to wait until we meet to find out the details.

"By the way, Daya and Erya, can you help me pick out a good gift for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl?"

Xiao Yan's junior sister is already fifteen or sixteen years old this year.

"Give her jewelry." Daya suggested, "Give her a set of headgear, which can be used when she gets married."

It’s hard to refuse when a brother and his wife add makeup to their sister.

"I have it." Erya said, "I'll pay."

"Who needs you to pay?" Lu Qiniang glared at her. "It's not like the government doesn't have money."

She knew Erya wanted to spend money on the whole family.

But this cannot be done.

Brothers should settle accounts clearly.

She also didn't want to exploit her daughter.

I don’t want Arya to carry everyone’s future on her shoulders.

Lu Qiniang treated all her daughters equally.

Regardless of whether they have money or not, they all live their own lives well, living according to how much money they have.

Including themselves.

It’s okay for Erya to take care of other people a little within the scope of family affection, such as occasionally giving them a few expensive gifts.

Taking on too much is not good for anyone.
