Chapter 132 Brother, Donkey and Dog
Always calm down and be determined.
She knew it!
If not for this, Che and the others wouldn't have stayed outside all night.
She had previously instructed that there was no need to rush back to report after the task was accomplished, but to make sure to get rid of all sight before returning.
Chang Suining confirmed with A Che: "Are you sure no one is following you?"
Ah Che nodded: "It's hard to say last night, we all ran away in a mess, but we confirmed it again and again when we came back this morning."
Not to mention, Xiao Duan and Xiao Wu were really good at hiding. The paths they took him through were like rat holes...
Thinking of this, A Che told them about the process and route of their return home.
Chang Suining nodded in appreciation.
I think Xiao Duan and Xiao Wu must have dodged many times when they were beggars. The little tricks people figured out in the struggle for survival may not be very clever, but they are definitely practical.
Moreover, the two of them didn't need to act at all when they were dressed as beggars. With them as a cover, they wouldn't easily arouse the suspicion of those who were interested.
"You three did a great job on this matter." Chang Suining looked at A Che with a smile, "Go back and find Xi'er to claim the reward."
Ah Che was stunned. To have the opportunity to help a girl was already a great thing that he dared not even think about. Why should they be rewarded? Facing those clear and puzzled eyes, Chang Suining felt a little worried.
I can only say: "Take them to eat something good, buy them what they want, and remember to tell them not to mention what happened yesterday to anyone."
A Che suddenly realized.
I see, this reward is for him to help the girl win her heart!
The boy then nodded in relief and said, "Don't worry, girl, I'll leave this to Che!"
Then he asked in a low voice: "Girl, has Sister Azhi come back?"
What he, Xiao Duan, Xiao Wu and the other two did was only half of the task; the remaining half was done by Sister Azhi.
"Not yet." Chang Suining walked towards the weapons rack and said, "Don't worry."
Chang Ren was with Azhi, and even dozens of ordinary people could hardly get close to him. Azhi was carrying Cui Jing's bronze talisman. The two of them did not return all night and there was no movement in the city, which just proved that the plan was going well.
Although it took some time, this crucial first step was finally taken as planned.
She would be able to see Yuxie again soon.
Chang Suining took a spear from the weapon rack.
"Sister, do you want to learn how to use the spear today?" Chang Sui'an came over, wiping the sweat off his face.
"Yes." The girl in green robe stood beside him, holding a long tasseled spear in her hand. "Brother, can you practice with me?"
Chang Sui'an was very happy: "Okay!"
He has been practicing shooting with his father since he was young, and this is his strong point!
"But the spear is sharp, sister, be careful, don't hurt yourself." Before the sparring, Chang Sui'an did not forget to remind her.
But soon, he found that this sentence also applied to himself! Although it was the first time for his sister to fight with him, she seemed to have many pairs of eyes, and his weaknesses were quickly exposed. Some of his weaknesses were even things he had never noticed before.
The girl's attack was fast and slow in an orderly manner, and the spear that she picked up for the first time seemed as flexible as her arm.
Chang Sui'an was surprised, and his response was actually quite flustered.
His strengths seemed to have disappeared! But they didn't disappear completely... Instead, they became his sister's strengths! Chu Xing watched from a distance, and his heart was in turmoil again.
Although weapons have some similarities, each person has different strengths. However, he has seen in recent days that the girl can quickly master any weapon she picks up. After a short period of adaptation, she can figure out the tricks.
If the girl's shooting skills at this time were not unique, he would really suspect that the girl had secretly worshipped a master as her teacher.
But precisely because this shooting technique was not unique and was clearly just an ordinary move, it seemed exceptionally exquisite and extraordinary because she used it as if it were her own arm.
A hint of sigh appeared in Chu Xing's eyes.
There are one or two steps between ordinary people and smart people, and their extraordinary qualities can often be explained.
But there is a huge gap between smart people and true geniuses, and the extraordinary qualities of these people usually cannot be explained by common sense... In this situation, even if ordinary people rack their brains, in the end, they will not gain anything except racking their brains.
Chu Xing decided to spare his own head.
But I couldn't help but ask myself - is he really qualified to be a girl's teacher? But... Qiao Jijiu can do it, why can't he?
If the older brother can do it, then the younger brother can do it too!
Thinking of this, Chu Xing felt at ease again, and then looked at Chang Sui'an.
According to him, Langjun was not just sparring with him, but being tortured.
But having this opportunity to be abused is a good thing, as it is the fastest way to achieve growth.
It's just that the process is a bit painful...
Chu Xing looked at the defeated young man with some sympathy.
If you were not so strong, what you would shed now would not be sweat, but tears.
Quarter of an hour later, Chang Suining, who was also sweating all over, put away his gun.
"Brother, you are good with the gun," she praised.
Chang Sui'an forced out a bitter smile: "...not really..."
"I will practice shooting with my brother tomorrow."
Although Chang Sui'an's spear skills have obvious weaknesses, his advantage is that he has strong and continuous power, which is just right for training her physical strength and endurance, which she lacks the most. The two of them can improve together by working together.
And the moves she used did not reveal her specialty, so it should not arouse Uncle Chu's suspicion.
Chu Xing did not doubt her for the time being; he only doubted life.
Another person who also doubts life is Chang Sui'an.
Although he had already accepted the fact that his sister was a genius, he couldn't help feeling a little confused when it happened to him so realistically.
He looked at the girl who was walking back to the weapons rack, and murmured in a low voice: "Uncle Chu, why is this happening..."
Chu Xing thought about it and decided to put it in a simpler way: "Let me give you an example, my dear..."
"100% intelligence is full. Donkey brains and dog brains are usually only 40% intelligent at most. Normal people's brains are 80% intelligent, and smart people are 90% or 100% intelligent." Chu Xing looked at the girl: "For people like the famous Wei Shilang and the girl, it should be 120%."
After that, he patted the young man on the shoulder and sighed, "My dear, you should figure it out yourself. Once you figure it out, you will be able to understand it."
Chang Sui'an counted on his fingers for a while.
He is a normal person, with 40% more brains than a donkey.
His sister is 120%, which means she has 40% more brains than him.
Since both are 40% different, then...
When his sister looks at him, isn't it the same as him looking at Zhu Feng? !
In other words, how does he look at the dog, and how does his sister look at him?
Chang Sui'an looked at the donkey that was leisurely swinging its tail, and his expression gradually became dull and numb.
…
Early this morning, two palace eunuchs came to Feng's residence in the capital.
The Feng house was where Mrs. Xie lived, and Feng was her husband's surname.
Xie's husband had died some years ago, and her son had already started a family with a son and a daughter.
At this moment, Xie, her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter were kneeling in the front hall listening to the eunuch read out the imperial decree to remove her first-rank imperial edict and demote her to the fifth-rank county lady.
"Your Excellency, please accept the order."
"Yes." Xie suppressed the trembling in her voice and raised her hand to accept the order: "Xie knows that I have done something wrong and I am willing to accept this punishment... Thank you for your grace of forgiveness."
The eunuch nodded slightly, left the imperial decree of punishment and left.
After the eunuch left, the Feng family's front hall was suffocatingly quiet.
The maid helped Xie up with a pale face.
The middle-aged man also stood up. He had been suppressing his temper for several days and finally couldn't stand it anymore. "Mother, why did you have to stir up such a trouble for no reason? Not only has your reputation been ruined, but even the saint has punished you... How can you, your son, hold his head high among his colleagues in the future!"
Three days ago, he was still the son of a first-rank lady. However, because his mother went to Dengtai Tower that night, he became the laughing stock of the entire capital in a blink of an eye!
But he was not the only one implicated. "Hui'er is only fourteen years old and just entered the Imperial College this year. Now that this has happened, how do you expect him to survive in the Imperial College? How do you expect him to face Qiao Jijiu, the teachers, and his classmates?"
"And Min'er..." He raised his hand and pointed at the girl beside him, "Sixteen or seventeen is the right age to discuss marriage. After this incident, how can she have a decent marriage in the future?"
The girl, who seemed to be in a dream, suddenly had tears in her eyes when she heard this.
"Enough!" Xie suddenly raised her eyes, looked at her son, and said sternly: "The entire Feng family can be what it is today, all because of my hard work! How did you get this position as a chief clerk in the Ministry of Works? How did Huier get to study in the Imperial College?"
"How can you yell at me for doing something I do?"
"Yes, my mother has always been very majestic!" The man looked extremely ugly, turned around and left the front hall.
The girl also covered her face and ran out crying.
"Min'er!"
The woman ran quickly after her daughter.
The girl jogged to avoid her mother who was chasing her, and sat on a huge rock beside the lotus pond and started crying.
Because her grandmother was a first-rank lady of the state appointed by the emperor himself, families interested in marriage had been knocking on the door of the Feng family since she was thirteen years old.
But her grandmother looked down upon those families and told her not to worry and that she would find the best marriage for her in the future.
She has always been looking forward to it.
Later, she gradually understood her grandmother's intentions - her grandmother often took her to see the wife of Duke Ying, and she gradually became familiar with the son of Duke Ying...
The wife of Duke Ying liked her very much.
The Prince of Ying...had once privately given her a pair of hairpins.
Although her grandmother didn't tell her explicitly, she was no fool.
The mother also saw the possibility behind this matter.
The Yingguogong Mansion is not comparable to ordinary nobles. It is the maternal family of the current saint. Yingguogong is the saint's younger brother. If she can become the wife of Yingguogong's son...
There is no better marriage in the whole capital! But just when she thought that everything was within her reach, her grandmother suddenly made such a fool of herself, and today the emperor issued an edict to remove her imperial edict! Her father was just a small clerk in the Ministry of Works. In terms of family background, she could not compare with those noble ladies, but she had a good grandmother who was well-known in the capital. If the Yingguo Mansion chose her as a daughter-in-law, it would undoubtedly be a good story...
But now her grandmother’s reputation is gone!
Her only support and advantage were gone! Would the Duke Ying's Mansion still choose her?
The girl felt as if the sky had fallen down. She cried even harder, took off the bracelet her grandmother had given her, and threw herself into the pool to vent her anger.
In the front hall, the maid couldn't calm down for a long time: "Madam..."
"There is no such thing as a madam." Xie sat in the chair, sneered and said to herself, "Now I should call you a county lady."
"My Lord... My Lord, you are clearly being punished for someone else's crime!" There were no other servants in the hall, and the maid said anxiously, "Should we explain this to the Saint..."
"Saint?" Xie looked at the imperial edict at hand: "Do you really think the saint can't guess it? This imperial edict is a punishment for the world to see, and it is also a warning to me..."
The wife of Duke Ying represents the Duke Ying's Mansion, and how could the Saint allow the reputation of the Duke Ying's Mansion to be damaged?
"Then the consequences can only be borne by Madam... only by the Duke of Ying? It is obvious that the people under Madam Ying were careless and found such a painting, which caused Madam to be implicated!"
Xie sneered, "What's the point of saying this now?"
"Then..." The maid knew it was too late to say this, so she could only lower her voice and ask, "Then does the marriage that Lady Yingguo promised privately before still count?"
That day, before Lady Yingguogong's wife persuaded her wife to go to Dengtai Tower, she said with a smile that she liked her girl and wanted to become a relative of her wife in the future.
"Now is not a good time to bring up this matter." Xie frowned and said, "Wait until the storm calms down, then go and find out what she means."
The maid could only say "yes".
The wind blew into the hall, but instead of bringing a hint of coolness, it made the air even hotter.
There was only coldness in Xie's dark eyes.
She still finds it hard to accept and believe that she had suffered such a huge setback because of a little girl!
Her reputation, status and situation have all plummeted, while the other party is in high spirits and famous in the capital!
I heard that he was summoned by the saint yesterday.
And she had just entered the palace to see the emperor yesterday, and today the emperor issued an order to remove her imperial edict... and I don't know what she said in front of the emperor! Thinking of this, Xie couldn't bear the anger in her heart any more, and raised her hand to throw away the teacup at hand.
The news that she was demoted to a fifth-rank county lady quickly spread throughout the capital.
Xie naturally could not hear the countless discussions, and it was a good thing that she could not hear them. Otherwise, if she knew that Lady Duan, the wife of Duke Zheng, was applauding, she would have been furious.
"Why hasn't mother invited Madam Chang to come home to talk recently?" Wei Miaoqing asked casually.
"It's like a furnace outside now. It's really painful to go out. I'll wait until it's cooler before inviting people out..."
Wei Miaoqing said "Oh" and looked at the scorching sun outside the hall.
The sun has been shining for so many days in a row, so it’s not too much for her to ask God to make it rain tomorrow, right?
…
That afternoon, Chang Ren returned home and met Chang Suining.
"...I led the people out of the city successfully yesterday. Ah Zhi is now guarding the woman on the farm." Chang Ren gave a general account of what happened and asked, "Do you want to go see that person now?"
"Let's wait until tomorrow." Chang Suining said, "It's more auspicious to burn incense and worship Buddha before noon."
Chang Ren: "Burning incense?"
"Let's burn some incense first and ask the Buddha to help me cover up this matter. This may be a safer decision."
“…”
As long as the Buddha was not possessed by a demon, it would be impossible for him to protect her from such a thing.
Although the words were outrageous, Chang Ren knocked the wooden fish twice in his heart, but he understood them.
Although we were cautious last night and should not have left any clues, it is not a bad idea to be more cautious.
If you go to burn incense every other day, and on the way back you can stop by the village to take a look, it will not attract anyone's attention.
So the next morning, he followed Chang Suining to Dayun Temple.
Chang Suining entered the temple and passed by the Tiannv Tower, which he had to pass by, and subconsciously turned his head to look.
It's strange to say, this tower is weird, but she always wants to take a closer look at it.
When I looked over, I saw an acquaintance.
This acquaintance was doing something that she could not understand for the moment.
I'll update early today. See you tomorrow~ (End of this chapter)
