The person in the painting was the villain who had raided Rong's house earlier and was shot through the chest by Rong Xi.
Even though Madam Xin's expression changed quickly, she could not hide her surprise.
She pulled the corners of her lips and whispered, "I don't know him."
He even changed his self-proclaimed name.
Rong Xi smiled without saying anything, took out another blueprint and placed it in front of Madam Xin.
Madam Xin was prepared, but she reflexively shrank her fingers slightly, pretending to be calm and said, "This young man has a good appearance. Could it be that Mr. Rong wants to propose marriage for me?"
"You should answer me, not ask me back." Rong Xi restrained his smile and looked at her indifferently.
After spending a long time with Qin Ke, Rong Xi also learned some of his imposing manner.
His cold expression made Madam Xin even more uneasy.
"Mr. Rong, I really don't know these two gentlemen." She asked quickly, "I have answered two questions, I wonder if you ..."
"Was your answer just now true or false?" Rong Xi casually threw out the third question.
Madam Xin was stunned for a few moments, then suddenly stood up and pretended to turn around and leave, but was stopped by someone.
"Madam Xin, if you tell the truth, I can guarantee your life." Rong Xi said indifferently.
The guard restrained Madam Xin, and Qin Ke stepped into the courtyard.
"You knew it a long time ago and deliberately deceived me?" Madam Xin asked with a frown.
Rong Xi asked with a smile: "Do you think Jili is stupid?"
"Good luck!" Madam Xin stared in surprise, then sneered, "The Rong residence is really a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
"Someone has broken into Rong's house with malicious intent before. Do you think I would allow someone whose background I don't know to enter?" Rong Xi stood up and walked in front of her.
"Do you know what your companion looks like now?"
Madam Xin pursed her lips and said nothing.
Rong Xi smiled very gently, "He had needles inserted into his body every day. After a few months, there were already hundreds of needles in his body. He was in excruciating pain at any time, but he just couldn't die. You are so beautiful, do you want to be like him?"
The two guards' eyelids twitched a few times, but they found that Madam Xin's eyelids were twitching more violently than theirs.
Qin Ke raised his eyes and glanced sideways at Rong Xi.
"It is said that Rong Dalang is kind, but I don't believe it." Madam Xin fought hard despite being trapped.
Rong Xi suddenly chuckled, "Rumor? Rumor has it that Rong Dalang is not good at chess. Why did you lose to me?"
His eyes suddenly became fierce, and he ordered: "Take him away. If he refuses to speak, then destroy his appearance and give him acupuncture every day."
The guards immediately dragged Madam Xin away.
Madam Xin struggled hard until she was dragged away from the gate, then she shouted, "I'll tell you!"
The guard paused and looked at Rong Xi.
Rong Xi looked disinterested, waved his sleeves and said, "Forget it, I don't want to listen anymore, drag it on."
The guard's Adam's apple rolled a few times. Rong Langjun was really scary!
Madam Xin kept shouting "I say", but no one paid any attention to her.
When everyone in Rong's house heard the cry of surprise, they all poked their heads out to look, but no one showed any sympathy. After all, the incident of the villain trying to capture Rong Jun last year was still fresh in their memory.
After a while, Rong's house returned to peace.
Rong Xi turned to look at Qin Ke, his eyebrows curved, "Do I look like him?"
"Like." Qin Ke couldn't help but curl his lips.
In fact, he doesn't look like it at all. With such a look, how can he play the role of a vicious person?
"Since you have nothing to do, why don't you go look at the house together?"
The new house was built not far from Rong's house. Its walls were made of blue bricks and cement and were quite stable. The craftsmen all worked hard and had superb skills, so the progress was very fast.
Feng Shan was also asked to make the wooden furniture at home.
Before leaving the house, he asked Liu He to prepare some tea and snacks to send with him.
When the craftsmen saw Rong Xi and Qin Ke, they all bowed respectfully. Liu He distributed tea and snacks with a smile. The craftsmen were all deeply moved and thanked him repeatedly.
After eating, I work harder.
On the way back home, Liu He asked cautiously, "Sir, after you move into your new house, can this old servant continue to serve you?"
Rong Xi smiled and said, "If Mr. Liu is willing, I will welcome you very much."
Upon hearing this, Liu He immediately calmed down.
A few days later, Rong Mo made a mold with bamboo strips and sewed tung oil cloth on the wings.
He was not good at needlework, but fortunately, with the help of his wife Guo Yao, he was able to make the mold.
"Not bad." Rong Xi picked up the flying mold and exclaimed.
Half of the wing in the mold is about the length of an adult's arm. It is made of bamboo strips. The wing shape is slightly curved and covered with a layer of cloth. The finished product looks quite good.
Rong Mo's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Let's try it in a high place." Rong Xi returned the mold to Rong Mo, stood up and walked out of the study.
The rest of the people in Rong's house were all interested and followed the two of them up the mountain.
As a result, only Liu He and some guards were left in Rong's house.
Although the back mountain is not very high, it is quite strenuous to climb up. The three sons of the Rong family were already out of breath after only walking a short distance, but compared with Rong Lian and Rong Mo, Rong Xi's performance was already quite good.
Qin Ke supported Rong Xi's arm, borrowing some of his strength to make Rong Xi feel a little more relaxed.
More than an hour later, the group finally reached the top of the mountain.
Jinjili's golden retriever flutters in the wind, and he stretches his arms to feel the mountain breeze, as if he hasn't climbed enough.
Rong Mo and Rong Lian were already slumped on the ground.
The mold in Rong Mo's hand was taken over by Liu Zishi halfway up the mountain.
"Second brother, third brother, you two still need to strengthen your bodies." Rong Xi said earnestly.
Rong Lian nodded, "Brother, what you said is absolutely right."
Rong Mo still kept his head down and said nothing, but everyone had gotten used to it.
Liang Siwen untied the water bag from his waist, handed it to Rong Lian, and said energetically: "Drink a sip to moisten your throat."
The boy's cheeks were rosy, and he showed no signs of fatigue, which made Rong Lian feel ashamed. He took the water bag and said firmly: "Si Wen, how about you supervise me every day from now on?"
Although he had discussed with Rong Xi before and planned to do morning exercises together every day, he did not persist because it was too cold in winter.
Now that it’s summer, there’s no excuse!
If he is sent to work far away, what will happen in the future...
"My dear, how do you use this thing?" Liu Zishi suddenly spoke, interrupting Rong Lian's imagination.
There was a flat area on the top of the mountain. Rong Xi took out a small pocket flag to measure the wind direction, and then replied: "Follow this direction, hold the mold high, run from this side to that side, and then throw it down the mountain with all your strength in the direction of the wind."
Liu Zishi understood and did as he was told.
Everyone stood up and stared.
Liu Zishi ran with the mold held high, and the wind whizzed past as if it was going to support his wings.
When he reached the finish line, he gathered all his strength and threw it down the mountain with all his might!
The tung oil cloth was blown up by the wind, and the mold swooped down, seemingly with no momentum to take off. The expectation in Rong Mo's eyes gradually died out, and he lowered his head and stopped looking.
“It’s flying! It’s flying!”
Xiyan shouted excitedly.
Rong Mo raised his eyes suddenly, and saw that the mold was actually rising up with the wind, trembling slowly, and after sliding smoothly in the air for a while, it gradually fell down.
Success!
He was panting with excitement. Although the effect was minimal, it was indeed possible to soar in the air for a while.
"Very good." Rong Xi praised with encouragement on his face.
Rong Mo suddenly turned his head, his eyes full of gratitude.
The rest of the people applauded and cheered, expressing their admiration.
"I don't know where the mold fell," Liu Zishi said with a simple smile, "My dear, I'll go find it."
"Let's go together!"
Everyone searched in the direction where the mold fell. After searching for a long time, they finally took it down from a tall tree.
Unfortunately, the mold has been scratched and damaged by branches, and looks quite messy.
Everyone returned home after having fun, but just as they arrived at the door, they found something strange.
Qin Ke called the guard, who appeared and replied, "Mr. Rong's father and uncle will arrive at the house at 3:30 pm."
Rong Lian was stunned, "Aye is back?"
"You can leave now." Qin Ke ordered.
After the guards left, everyone looked at Rong Xi.
Rong Xi looked calm as he walked into the house and went to the main hall. Qin Ke had no intention of interfering in the Rong family's affairs and went back to his room.
When they arrived at the main hall, a man was sitting at the table. He looked a little haggard. When he saw Rong Xi, his eyes suddenly became complicated and indescribable.
A woman stood beside him, with a beautiful and gentle face, it was He.
Second uncle Rong Weiheng stood up immediately and looked at Rong Mo with concern. Seeing that Rong Mo looked good and a little plump, he felt relieved.
Rong Lian took a step forward, "Father, aunt, second uncle."
He was a concubine and according to the rules she could not call her mother. It doesn't matter what he calls him in private, but now there are outsiders in the hall, he has to abide by the rules.
Rong Weijing looked at him carefully for a moment and nodded proudly. There was a smile on He's eyes. Seeing that he seemed a little fatter, she couldn't help but feel grateful to Rong Xi.
"Thank you, Dalang, for taking care of Amo." Rong Weiheng was the first to express his gratitude.
Rong Xi smiled politely, "Uncle, there's no need to be so polite. My third brother is well-behaved and smart, and he has helped me a lot."
Hearing him praising his son, Rong Weiheng was overwhelmed with joy, and the smile on his face never faded.
Suddenly, a cold snort was heard from the hall, "You rebellious son, you are so ignorant of etiquette when meeting your elders."
It's clearly aimed at Rong Xi.
Rong Xi raised his eyes and made eye contact with Rong Weijing for a moment, but ignored him. Instead, he looked at He and said, "Aunt He, the wing room has already been prepared. You are tired from the journey, so you may as well go and rest first."
There were not enough side rooms in the house, so Liu Zishi and Liu He shared a room, Xiyan and Jin Jili lived together, Rong Lian and Liang Siwen shared a bed, and Rong Xi and Qin Ke slept together.
The second uncle Rong Weiheng could just share a room with Rong Mo, so the remaining main courtyard was left to Rong Weijing and He.
Rong Weijing was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
He smiled softly, "Thank you, Mr. Dalang."
After she finished speaking, she secretly poked Rong Weijing's shoulder and said softly, "My dear, I will help you go to the side room."
Rong Weijing suppressed his anger, stood up, flicked his sleeves and left the main hall.
To celebrate the successful completion of the flying mold, Rong Xi wanted to personally cook a delicious meal to reward Rong Mo. However, the timing was not right today, so he had to give up.
The kitchen was handed over to three refugee women.
When dinner arrived, all the Rong family members were together. Rong Weijing wanted to show off his power, but when he saw Qin Ke was there, he had to give in.
The dining hall was extremely quiet; you could hear a pin drop, and everyone had different thoughts.
After the meal, everyone was about to go back to their rooms, but Rong Xi stopped Rong Lian.
"Aunt He, please dine with us in the future."
Concubines in the Wei Dynasty had a low status and could not eat with the master of the family, but He always followed the rules.
But in Rong Xi's opinion, He could become the mistress of the Rong family in the future and she would be in charge of the house, so why couldn't they have meals together?
Hearing this, Rong Lian's eyes and nose suddenly felt sore. He was stunned for a few breaths and said solemnly in a low voice: "Thank you, brother!"
Who doesn’t want their biological mother to be respected?
Now, everyone in Rong's house listens to Rong Xi's words. If he respects the He family, others will naturally obey him.
At this moment, He came over with a gentle smile, "My dear, I have something to give you."
Rong Xi had guessed what it was, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, Aunt He."
He hurriedly returned the greeting, "Don't be so, my dear, I don't deserve it."
The two of them went to the main courtyard together, and Rong Xi stood outside the courtyard waiting.
After a while, He came over with something and handed it to Rong Xi.
The object was wrapped in cloth, but Rong Xi knew it was the spirit tablet of Rong Zhang.
"Aunt He, you will be in charge of all matters in the house from now on. If you need anything, you can always look for Mr. Liu."
He nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Dalang."
Seeing Rong Xi about to leave, she couldn't help but ask, "I heard that Dalangjun also has a young lady in the school, is that true?"
Rong Xi replied in surprise: "Indeed."
He smiled sincerely, "You are very broad-minded, I admire you."
"Aunt He, you are too kind," Rong Xi smiled faintly, "Go to bed early."
After he left, He returned to the room and saw Rong Weijing was still sulking, so she couldn't help but comfort him.
"What do you, a woman, know!" Rong Weijing scolded.
He lowered her head and frowned. While tidying up the bed, she replied calmly: "Although I have never been to school, I know a few words and understand the principles of the world. Could it be that all educated people are clear-headed and will not do evil?"
"Are you talking back to me?" Rong Weijing asked with a frown.
He found that He was quite different from usual recently.
"When will you take a bath?" He turned and asked, "I will go get some water."
Rong Weijing waved his hand and said, "Go away and don't bother me."
At the same time, Rong Xi went to the ancestral hall, wrapped the nameless tablet in cloth, put it together with Rong Zhang's spirit tablet, and took it away from the ancestral hall.
Wait until you move into the new house and then worship it again.
After returning to the house, Qin Ke was leaning on a chair reading a book. Seeing Rong Xi holding something in his hand, he did not ask, but just said: "Do you want to take a bath? I will ask someone to prepare water."
Rong Xi placed the spirit in the box and said, "You take a bath first, I will rest for a while."
Qin Ke did not refuse. He picked up his clothes and walked towards the ear room.
Not long after, he finished bathing and walked in wearing only his shirt and wet hair. Seeing Rong Xi leaning on the back of a chair, drowsy, his eyes revealed a bit of doting.
"Lanzhi, wake up."
Rong Xi suddenly woke up, and after coming back to his senses, he heard Qin Ke softly say: "After bathing, go to the couch and rest."
"good."
This was his original plan, but after taking a bath, he suddenly became energetic and lay on the couch without feeling sleepy.
After a moment, he lightly poked Qin's arm.
Qin Ke suddenly turned over, put his left arm around Rong Xi's waist, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hmm?"
"Brother Chen said he went to look for medicine, and I don't know how he got there."
Qin Ke hugged him tighter, "What are you talking about?"
After copying the prescription, he gave it to Chen Chuangu, who was very interested. Since some of the herbs in the prescription were hard to obtain, he volunteered to collect them himself.
Qin Ke naturally would not tell Rong Xi about this.
"But I can't fall asleep." Rong Xi whispered, not realizing that his tone was a little coquettish.
Qin Ke suddenly opened his eyes, and the tenderness in his eyes was so rich and mellow that it seemed to be able to drown people.
He leaned close to Rong Xi's ear and whispered with a smile, "How about I take you to the rooftop to watch the stars?"
Rong Xi nodded immediately.
Qin Ke raised his lips and chuckled. The two of them put on their outer clothes and went to the courtyard together.
Taking the ladder and building the wall, Rong Xi slowly climbed up, but Qin Ke had already used the force to leap onto the roof.
It is really amazing to have great martial arts skills!
Rong Xi felt envious, and after reaching the roof, he lay down on the tiles.
There are no high-rise buildings blocking the view, and the stars in the night sky are clearly visible.
Qin Ke sat beside him, waving a palm-leaf fan to drive away mosquitoes for him, with a very gentle look on his face.
"Sizhi, do you know what stars are?" Rong Xi suddenly asked.
Qin Ke smiled and replied, "When I was little, my mother told me that after a person dies, they will turn into stars, hanging in the night sky, guiding the world."
"Your Highness is right. The Big Dipper can indeed guide people."
Rong Xi stared at it quietly for a while, then smiled and said, "Qin Sizhi, do you believe that the ground you and I are standing on is actually the stars?"
"Could it be that you and I are both dead people, and our souls just gathered together and became stars?" Qin Ke asked in surprise.
Rong Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said: "That's right, I died once, but I didn't drink Meng Po soup, so I still remember everything in my life, but you all have forgotten your past."
"May I ask Shaoqing Rong, have you and I known each other in the past?" Qin Ke asked with a smile on his face.
Rong Xi suddenly stopped smiling, stared into his eyes seriously, and said softly: "In the past, you were also a god of war, admired by thousands of people. I know you, but you don't know me."
"But when we first met, you didn't recognize me." Qin Ke asked back.
Rong Xi smiled and replied: "I am just an ordinary person, how can I see the God of War? I have only heard of his reputation, but have never seen him in person."
"Never mind. I believe you."
Qin Ke stopped teasing him and sealed the conversation with a kiss.
Rong Dalang's love words were so sweet that he was really intoxicated.
The secret guard was shocked and quickly covered his face and turned away, not daring to look again.
Rong Xi closed his eyes, immersed in the passionate embrace of lips and tongues. Heat seemed to gradually rise from his body. He hugged Qin Ke's neck tightly, and his breathing became heavier.
He reacted.
Qin Ke was not much calmer than him. He directly hugged the person in his arms and rubbed his back with his hands through the clothes.
I even wanted to reach in and touch that smooth silk.
“Bang!”
The courtyard was silent and no one dared to make a sound outside.
Qin Ke slowly let go of Rong Xi, his eyes were both burning and helpless.
Rong Xi's face flushed, he stretched out his white and tender palm, and said with a flattering smile: "Look, it was the mosquitoes that caused the trouble, not my intention."
There was indeed a dead mosquito in the palm of my hand.
He put on a begging gesture with a pitiful face, and Qin Ke's anger was extinguished.
"Does it hurt?"
Qin Ke slightly moved his chin and looked at Rong Xi's left cheek.
"It doesn't hurt." Rong Xi shook his head obediently.
Qin Ke picked him up and jumped directly off the roof.
"Go back to the room and apply medicine."
The author has something to say:
Don’t worry, Rong Dad will kill himself! I can't ask the emperor to sentence him to death all of a sudden, hahahaha
