Chapter 381
381 Leaving the capital (2)
Then, he suddenly realized that he had boasted too much, to the point that he believed it.
“……. Xu Qi ‘an is conferred the title of Changle County’s son, and is bestowed with 30 Qing of fertile land and 500 taels of gold.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.”
Xu Qi ‘an shouted the slogan and stood up to receive the edict.
“Congratulations, Lord Xu … Oh, it’s Xu Xianzi.” The eunuch said with a smile.
“Many thanks, eunuch Liu.”
Xu Qi ‘an took the Imperial edict and handed over a hundred tael Silver Note.
When the eunuch and the guards stayed behind, second uncle Xu snatched the Imperial edict and read it over and over again for a long time. He clearly couldn’t read a few words, but he read it seriously.
As he looked, second uncle Xu’s eyes turned red.
“I’ve been conferred a title of nobility, conferred a title of nobility … My Xu family has a Viscount.”
He ran back to the backyard with the Imperial edict and shouted, “”Madam, quickly write a letter to the Xu family. The Xu family has a Viscount. I’m going to hold a feast for three days and three nights, hahahahaha …”
Xu Qi ‘an picked up the box of gold and land deeds that Emperor Yuan jing had given him and sneaked back to his room.
Second uncle was such a fool. How could an imperial edict be more important than gold?
………..
After storing the gold into the fragment of the book of the nether world, Xu Qi ‘an returned to the inner courtyard and saw second uncle Xu and Erlang fighting over the Imperial edict. The father and son almost started fighting.
“Those who don’t know would think that the Imperial edict is for you, father,” Xu Erlang said unhappily.
“Get lost!” Second uncle Xu said.
“I just want to see how the Imperial edict is written,” Xu Erlang said, slightly angry.
“Get lost!” Second uncle Xu said.
“Father, let me see the Imperial edict,” Xu Erlang said angrily.
“Get lost,” second uncle Xu said.
‘Bah, vulgar martial artist …’ Xu Erlang flicked his sleeves and left, returning to his study to read.
What was a Viscount? he wanted to be inscribed on the Golden roll and be the top scorer. Otherwise, all the limelight in the family would be stolen by big brother.
“He’s, he’s really been conferred a noble title?”
The aunt looked at the Imperial edict in her husband’s arms, and her eyes widened. She had not come to her senses yet, and it was as if she was living in a dream.
He wasn’t prepared at all.
“How could it be fake? there’s a Jade seal stamped on it. His Majesty even bestowed five hundred taels of gold and thirty acres of fertile land.” Xu Pingzhi said loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not believe him.
Five hundred taels of gold and thirty acres of fertile land … A golden glint flashed in his aunt’s eyes.
“Da Lang, is this true? Why do I feel like I’m living in a dream?” The aunt grabbed Xu Qi ‘an’s hand.
Xu Qi ‘an shook her off. Madam, ” he said, ” don’t try to get close to me. Call me Lord Viscount.
Xu lingyue looked at her brother with admiration.
Xu Qi ‘an put his hand into his pocket and took out the land deed. He slapped it on the table and said,”I’ll keep the gold myself. As for the thirty acres of fertile land, aunt, I’m not married yet, so I’ll have to trouble you … Lingyue will help big brother manage it. ”
The aunt’s hand froze. She could not do anything to Xu Qi ‘an, so she stomped her foot and said angrily, “”Xu Pingzhi …”
The aunt had no choice but to deal with her husband.
Second uncle Xu chuckled. ningyan was just joking with you. Lingyue doesn’t understand these things.
“Father, I’ve studied for a few years and I know mathematics,” Xu lingyue said in a soft voice.
Moreover, the management of the fields was usually done by letting the trusted servants in the residence run errands outside, and the master only needed to manage the accounts.
His aunt suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
In the past, her imaginary enemy was eldest lang and second Lang’s daughter-in-law. Now, she realized that Xu lingyue, this wretched girl, had actually rebelled and wanted to fight for power with her, the mother.
“Mother, why are you looking at me like that?” Xu lingyue felt that her mother’s eyes were burning.
“I’m not looking at you, I’m looking at an ingrate.”
“..”Xu lingyue.
….
When it came to the stargazing tower, the impression people in the capital and even all over Da Feng had of it could only be described as:High!
In the eyes of the pugilist world, other than being high up in the clouds, the stargazing tower was also a forbidden place in Da Feng. This was because the only rank one expert of the dynasty lived here.
Very few people would think about what kind of place it was under the stargazing tower.
Zha Zha Zha …
In the dark underground, the iron gate slowly rose, and a winding stone staircase extended into the ground. Every ten steps, there was an oil lamp on the wall, emitting a dim light.
Da da da … Clear footsteps could be heard in the silent air.
The sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer. A black shadow emerged from the ground and walked up the stairs.
The black Shadow’s hair was loose and covered her face. She was wearing a simple linen robe and was barefooted. When she walked, her chest occasionally protruded, making people realize that she was a woman.
Moreover, it was a woman with deep cleavage.
“I’m still a bit away from becoming. fourth grade array master. Why did teacher wake me up …” The black shadow muttered to himself.
She raised her head and looked up. At the end of the steps, countless rays of light poured down from the door like a tide. It was the long-lost sunlight.
Stepping out of the iron gate, the black figure stood in the silent Hall. He closed his eyes and opened his arms to embrace the sunlight.
She hadn’t been born for five years and had been suppressed at the bottom of the stargazing tower by teacher Jian Zheng.
After passing through the corridor on the first floor, the woman with disheveled hair went up the stairs to the second floor. Whoosh … The sound of footsteps came from above, and a white-robed Warlock came down with a tray full of bottles and jars.
The two of them met face to face.
The white-robed Sorcerer’s body suddenly froze, and his face slowly turned pale, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
After about three to four seconds, the white-robed Warlock turned around and fled in a panic.
Out of goodwill, the woman with disheveled hair quickly reminded, “”Junior Brother, slow down. Be careful not to slip.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-robed Sorcerer’s feet suddenly slipped and he rolled down. He knocked the woman down and the two of them rolled down the stairs together.
