Chapter 314: Axun is so stupid

Xue Che came in from outside.

"Zhizhi, when did you find this place?"

Xue Che saw Su Zhizhi sitting on the couch by the window, reading some manuals peacefully.

After he entered the palace, he walked around for a while before finally finding this place.

Su Zhizhi came back to her senses: "Have I been watching for a long time?"

She wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Xue Che.

Xue Che could guess from this that Zhizhi was looking at her mother's belongings:

"It won't take long. Take your time and watch. There's no rush. I've already taken care of the people nearby. No one should come to disturb us."

When Xue Che came to Tingyuxuan just now, he met a few guards. After knocking them down, he piled them in a corner and let them take a nap.

Honeysuckle had been in the mansion for too long and felt a little uncomfortable when seeing strangers.

Su Zhizhi said to Rendong, "Auntie Dong, this is my friend Ache."

Su Zhizhi also introduced Jindong to Xue Che.

Xue Che called out "Auntie Dong" just like Su Zhizhi.

Honeysuckle was embarrassed and a little clumsy.

She was just a servant, but the young lady was kind to her, the younger lady treated her well, and even the younger lady's friends seemed very polite to her.

Xue Che saw the memorial tablet in the room and lit a stick of incense.

"Aunt, I'm here to see you too."

After offering incense, Xue Che took out a small persimmon from his arms and gently placed it on the offering plate.

This is the fruit from the persimmon tree in Heishan Mansion, and the color has not yet turned completely red.

When Su Zhizhi and Xue Che were sparring this morning, they knocked down persimmons from the tree. Su Zhizhi picked up a persimmon and asked Xue Che to help her pick it up, then she forgot about it.

It's just the right time to take it out.

On the two plates, one was added with trumpet creepers and the other with small tomatoes.

A bit more lively and cute.

Xue Che: "I'll just sit at the door and watch. You guys can talk and watch slowly."

The boy sat quietly on a chair by the door.

Su Zhizhi didn't respond, her attention was completely back on the book in her hand.

Pei Xuan recorded his experiences in the martial arts world in this notebook.

Su Zhizhi's mind was immersed in Pei Xuan's narration, as if she had crossed many years of time and space and attached herself to the body of a fifteen-year-old girl.

[The Jianghu is so big, much bigger than Chang'an.]

But there are very few people who know martial arts out there. Most of them are farmers, vegetable sellers, or small business owners.

I don’t know where to go to meet the legendary Jianghu people. 】

—-

[Today, a gangster came to see me! He said he wanted to challenge me to a duel.]

I was so happy that I went to the inn yard with him to spar.

But he fell down as soon as I pulled out the whip. I only hit him with one blow.

He lay on the ground crying out in pain, saying that I had hit him and that he wanted me to pay for his medical expenses, or he would sue me.

The Jianghu is a mixed bag, with more scammers than martial arts masters.

——

[Before I went out, I felt that the world outside was vast, much bigger than Chang'an.

Only after I got out did I realize that nothing is more important than power and money.

Many people could not go anywhere because they had no money and because they had not only their parents but also landlords and county officials above them.

Fortunately, I brought enough money. And I also pretended to be poor, so I had enough money.

----

The Jianghu world didn't seem that interesting anymore. I felt frustrated, so I left Chang'an.

But now it seems that people in the martial arts world are also living a very frustrating life.

——

My parents must be missing me. They must be regretting not letting me go to the martial arts school. I went back to my maternal grandparents' home in Jiangnan. They sent a letter to Chang'an to let them know I was safe.

——

[Heaven bless you! I became sworn brothers today!]

I met Yingniang. Yingniang is a true martial arts master, a female hero.

I admire her marksmanship and I like her temperament. She is my half-sister!

Yingniang told me that people in the underworld will collude, use tricks, and bully the weak.

She didn't like this, so even though she was young, she had already decided to retire from the world.

Yingniang left. She had no home, so she had to find a place she liked to settle down.

I couldn't keep Yingniang, so when I said goodbye to her, I stuffed all my banknotes into her bag while she wasn't paying attention.

Unexpectedly, Yingniang actually saw it.

She took the money openly, saying that she really didn't have any money at the moment, so she accepted my kindness and the banknote, and that she owed me a big favor and would pay me back later.

——

[The messengers came back from Chang'an, and they brought back a piece of news, saying that my eldest brother was getting married, and his family invited us to attend his wedding.

I've packed my luggage tonight and will be leaving early tomorrow morning. I can't wait!

—-

[I have met swindlers and masters in the world, but today I met a fool.

I saw a man being chased by bandits. The man was a little stupid. He was holding a good sword but was still being chased in such a miserable state.

He begged me to save him.

Haha, it’s no problem for this heroine to deal with a few thieves.

I saved a fool and got a good sword in his hand in return.

This is called good deeds being rewarded.]

——

Even a fool wants to return to the capital. The fool said his name was A Xun.

After Axun washed his face, he was still quite handsome and delicate, a pretty boy.

He looked like the young master of a wealthy family in the capital.

He looks familiar. I wonder if I’ve seen him before at a banquet at someone’s house.

He followed me back to the capital pitifully, saying that he would give me a lot of money when we got back.

Why would I care about his money? Our Pei family is rich.

I don't want him to wait for me to return to Chang'an to pay the debt, so I'll let him work as a servant on the way to pay off the debt.

——

[Axun is stupid and timid, but he also has a bit of a temper.

I asked him to clean my saddle, but he refused.

He held his chin high and said he would not do such menial work.

I yelled at him and pretended to drive him away, and then he obediently went to clean the saddle.

When he was wiping the saddle, the horse suddenly kicked its hoof, and Xun was so scared that he fell to the ground.

I laughed out loud.

Axun looked at me, his face flushed, as if he was shy.

——

[We are almost in Beijing, and I am running out of money.

Axun and I can only eat steamed buns.

A Xun looked disgusted and said that the steamed bun was so rough that he couldn't swallow it.

He kept nagging and nagging. Really, he was so picky about food, he was just happy to have something to eat.

I pinched his chin, forced him to open his mouth, and stuffed the bun directly into his mouth.

I glared at him and told him that he could eat it or not, and to stop nagging. If he didn't want to eat, I wouldn't care if he starved to death.

I may have pinched him a little too hard, leaving finger marks on his face. He blushed again, even his ears were red.

I understand, he is angry but dares not speak out.]

——

【At night, I was hungry.

Steamed buns really can’t satisfy your hunger; eating only steamed buns is not enough.

But I'm going to Beijing tomorrow, so I can have a big meal when I get home.

A Xun came to see me and brought a pound of beef!

I asked him where the beef came from, but he wouldn't tell me.

I saw him wearing a red string around his neck and a piece of jade before, but now the red string is gone.

I asked him again, where is the jade he was wearing? Could it be replaced with beef?

A Xun looked a little embarrassed, probably because I saw through him.

I really... don't know what to say. We're almost in the capital, why are you still trading jade for meat?

But since the meat was already there, I ate it without hesitation.

While I was eating beef, A Xun sat next to me and consciously helped me wipe the golden dragon whip clean.

He lowered his head and asked me where my home was in the capital.

I just made up a place.

How can I let him know that I am a member of the Pei family?

I travel the world, taking responsibility for my own work, and not causing any trouble for my family.

——

I'm finally back in Beijing!

As soon as we entered the capital, Axun and I parted ways.

When I came back, Dongdong's eyes were swollen from crying and he said he missed me very much.

My parents and my older brother scolded me together, saying that I made them worry too much.

My mother is the most angry.

My mother told me that if I ever made her die of anger, she would be reborn as my daughter or granddaughter and cause me to worry all the time.

I said, that’s great. When you are reborn as my daughter or granddaughter, I will ask you to draw a hundred turtles.

Because my eldest brother was getting married, everyone in the mansion was very happy, so they only scolded me once and then let me go.

——

My eldest brother got married today, and many people came to the wedding.

When the bride was brought into the bridal chamber, I went to see it with some female relatives from the clan.

My eldest sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the Yan family in the capital, and she is an out-and-out lady from a noble family.

My sister-in-law is so gentle. She has dimples on her face when she smiles. She sits very straight and speaks softly.

I came out of my eldest brother's yard and wanted to go to the front yard to find him.

As a result, I met A Xun at the front gate.

Axun and I were both stunned.

He must have heard others call me Second Miss, just like I heard others call him Prince.

Oh my God!

He turned out to be Prince Gong Murong Xun.

It turns out that not only landlords have stupid sons, but the royal family also has stupid sons.

Although I saved him, he was scolded, bullied, pinched, and ordered around by me along the way...

My heart skipped a beat.

It's over, he will definitely take revenge on me.

The moment he saw me, he smiled.

Haha, you definitely thought of a way to take revenge on me.

No, I need to go out again and hide for a few days.]
