Chapter 317 What a great addition to the party!
I remember that when Xu Wenyue was three or four years old, he was raised in the palace for a period of time because of his father's great contribution in saving the Queen Mother. At that time, Xu Wenyue always went to play with the young Majesty.
The two of them play and fight every day and have a good relationship.
They almost got engaged as children.
Later, your Majesty went to Western Chu as a hostage, and the matter was shelved.
But I heard that Xu Wenyue has never forgotten Your Majesty, and would write letters to Your Majesty during every festival.
His Majesty also often wrote back to her.
This situation continued for many years and continues to this day.
His Majesty was probably moved by Xu Wenyue's loyalty and loyalty. Before he returned to the South, he specially gave Xu Wenyue the white jade crystal bracelet that his mother left for him as his future wife.
It can be seen that Xu Wenyue holds a very important and extraordinary position in His Majesty's heart.
And His Majesty has not married in all these years, let alone having a woman. He must be waiting for Xu Wenyue to reach the age of 15.
Now his daughter Xu Wenyue has reached the age of marriage and can get married.
"Well, you can go to see His Majesty at the Prime Minister's birthday banquet in three days."
For the sake of his family's honor, Xu Hexin finally decided to help Xu Wenyue suppress the fact that she had harmed her own grandmother. But he felt powerless, as he felt sorry for his mother and could not seek justice for Xu Wenyuan's previous bullying.
He is really unworthy of being a son and a father.
He sighed weakly, "Father will no longer pursue the wrong things you have done."
"I just hope that after you get promoted, you will not let down your father's forgiveness today and the family's years of hard training, and will actively give back to the family."
"You, take care of yourself!"
Xu Wenyue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She even smiled grimly and sighed, "After all, there is no way for God to kill people."
.
Jiujiu was currently accompanying Old Lady Xu out for a stroll and basking in the sun.
The old lady hasn't seen the sun for a long time.
Now that she was awake, conscious and able to walk, she wanted to go out and see the sun.
However, the old lady hadn't walked for a long time, and it was a bit difficult for her to walk. She finally got out of the door.
When she saw the sun, her eyes were filled with joy.
Jiujiu, however, couldn't be happy.
Jiujiu's eyes fell on the two polished, shining knives on the ground. She finally noticed the knives. "Why are the knives thrown at the door? Who threw them?"
“It’s too unlucky.”
The servant beside him said, "Yes, the master threw it away accidentally."
"Then your master still carries a knife at home?"
“There’s even a whetstone here.”
Jiujiu had sharp eyes and noticed a piece of bluestone that was soaked in water and had just been used by someone.
"By the way, why is your master sharpening his knife here? What is he going to do?" Jiujiu asked.
"He..." He wants to kill you, Miss Yanyue.
But the servant didn't dare to say this.
He was afraid that he would be the last person to be killed. After all, Miss Yanyue had saved the old lady and was now a distinguished guest in the mansion, not some damned charlatan.
The servant hesitated and didn't come back for a long time.
Xu Hexin just happened to come back from the door and heard Jiujiu's words. He cursed himself many times in his heart, asking why he was dying for no reason. Then he smiled and said, "I sharpened this knife to kill chickens."
"To prepare for the celebration of my mother's awakening." He was really smart to come up with such a good reason.
"Killing a chicken?" Jiujiu became interested. She clapped her hands and said happily, "Great! I've never seen a chicken being killed before. Sir, go kill a chicken now. I want to watch."
“…”
Cough cough.
Xu Hexin was about to cry. He only knew how to eat chicken, not how to kill it!
Besides, he had never stepped on an ant to death in his life, so how could he dare to kill a chicken?
"Hurry up!" Jiujiu was excited. She was really looking forward to seeing that scene.
"Dad, my daughter wants to see it too." Xu Wenyuan also said.
You little girl, I don’t know how to kill a chicken!
Don't you know?
Xu Wenyuan rarely saw Xu Hexin on a daily basis, so she had no idea that he didn't know how to kill a chicken.
The old lady knew about it, but she didn't want the little girls to feel disappointed, so she said with a wicked smile: "He Xin, just go ahead and kill him, just think of it as a way to liven up the fun for everyone."
What a great addition to the party.
The word 'add to the fun' is so cleverly coined!
Xu Hexin's face turned pale. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't. So he just picked up the knife and went ahead.
The servants caught the chicken raised by the housekeeper in the backyard. It was a big rooster with black and red feathers, looking very majestic.
Originally, the housekeeper liked cockfighting and raised these to take to the market for cockfighting.
But at this moment, since the master was so hot-blooded and insisted on killing the chicken, he had to give up the chicken reluctantly.
After the chicken was delivered, Xu Hexin squatted on the ground, holding the chicken's body with one hand, picked up the knife with the other hand, aimed at the chicken's neck with a cold sweat, and prepared to chop it off.
If he cuts the chicken's neck with one knife, the chicken will die.
Jiujiu and Xu Wenyuan watched excitedly from the sidelines, waiting for the heart-stirring scene to happen.
Xu Hexin looked at the two of them with a pale face, closed his eyes, and swung the knife in his hand.
He thought he had used enough force and the chicken's neck should be broken. But the chicken's neck was not cut off, but only half cut off. The chicken was not dead, but was greatly stimulated by it, and suddenly jumped up with blood dripping.
The blood from the neck also splashed onto Xu Hexin's face and clothes.
Xu He was in a hurry to wipe his face and had no time to take care of the chicken.
The chicken was jumping around uncontrollably, and every now and then it would stagger and walk a few steps. It looked like it was about to die, in great pain, and it was scary.
"Oh my god, this is the living devil!"
"Can't you just kill the chicken with one knife?"
Jiujiu suddenly felt that it was a bit cruel.
She decided not to eat her favorite chicken leg today and would eat it tomorrow.
The servants and guards were running around the yard catching the frightened chickens, and Jiujiu also joined in.
There is strength in numbers, and the chicken was eventually caught and its life ended again. But the blood of the chicken was splattered everywhere, and Jiujiu also had a lot of blood splattered on him, so he took a long time to wash it clean.
After Jiujiu finished washing, she changed into Xu Wenyuan’s clothes, which were plain and very elegant.
Jiujiu seldom wears plain clothes, but she looks quite good in it today.
Xu Wenyuan kept praising her for her beauty.
Outside, Xie Youxian appeared with several people holding golden needle bags. There were one hundred sets of golden needle bags, not a single one was missing, which was quite a generous gift.
Just when Xie Youxian entered Xu's house with guards holding a bag of golden needles, everyone in the house widened their eyes and were speechless for a long time.
The housekeeper also hurriedly reported the matter to Xu Hexin, who was still in shock.
Xu Hexin swallowed his saliva in disbelief and said, "Butler, you, you are not mistaken, are you?"
"How is this possible?"
"Those are one hundred sets of golden needle capsules, not one hundred cabbages."
The butler said confidently: "Master, I am not mistaken."
"Mr. Xie, who was with Miss Yanyue, personally brought people to deliver them. They were all gold."
“So much, it’s all money!”
The butler was salivating.
"I don't know where this Miss Yanyue comes from. She actually gave me a hundred sets of golden needles just like giving away cabbages."
Xu Hexin still didn't believe it. "Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Let's go and take a look."
