Xiao Feng was more respectful than when he faced Liu Tong. He walked to the bead curtain and bowed it to the ground respectfully.
"Auntie, my nephew takes Qiaoqiao to exercise in the yard every day, so he will naturally become stronger.
I also took on an apprentice, and he taught me some kung fu, which was also good for my health. "
Mrs. Liu didn't know much about what was going on outside, so she felt very surprised.
"You took on an apprentice? He taught you some kung fu? You kid, why are you talking so confusingly?"
Liu Tong kept coughing, trying to stop his wife's rude behavior, but Xiao Feng smiled, obviously very happy.
"What my aunt said is that this matter is indeed very strange. No wonder my aunt laughed.
It's General Yu Dayou. He likes Taoism, so he became his disciple. The two of us can be regarded as half-teachers and half-friends. "
Liu Xueer's delighted voice came from behind the bead curtain: "He's still a general! Interesting!"
Then came Xiaomei's voice: "What's the general? I heard that Mr. Xiao is also the teacher of the two princes."
Mrs. Liu quickly asked: "Xiao Feng, is this possible?"
“Only in name, because Wan Sui felt that Mr. Yan was not suitable to be the master of King Jing, and Prince Yu’s master was also old and sick, so he asked me to be the master of the two princes.
In fact, they can't teach much. They go to Wenhua Hall and have other teachers. "
Mrs. Liu laughed so much that even the bead curtain shook.
"It's nothing, kid. What's wrong with the name? One of King Yu and King Jing will be the emperor in the future, and you will be the emperor's master in the future.
Right, sir, this is the rule, right? "
Mrs. Liu was not sure about the affairs of the court, so she asked Liu Tong for confirmation.
Liu Tong buried her face in the cup that was already empty of tea, and answered "Yes" angrily, causing the women behind the bead curtain to exclaim.
Shame on you! Shame on you! Liu Tong thought sadly, when I became a doctor, you didn't show such surprise!
Except for those who come from afar, there is generally no rule of leaving a meal for this kind of door-to-door visit years ago.
Liu Tong really didn't want to drink with Xiao Feng, so after the two sides exchanged a few words, Xiao Feng should leave.
But Mrs. Liu kept asking endless questions. Seeing that the time was gradually approaching noon, Liu Tong couldn't help but get anxious. In addition, no one noticed that he had no tea to drink. His throat was dry and itchy, and he started coughing repeatedly.
Mrs. Liu knew that Liu Tong's ability to receive Xiao Feng was already a big change, and she didn't expect him to treat Xiao Feng to a drink today, so she sighed.
"Xiaoxue, if you and Xiao Feng have anything to say, just say a few words."
There was a moment of silence behind the bead curtain, and Liu Xueer asked shyly: "Brother Xiao, are you... okay?"
After holding it in for a long time, Liu Tong thought to herself, this girl usually behaves like this behind her back, but now she behaves like this in front of her, she is stupid.
Xiao Feng stood up straight, with a smile on his face, as if he were a distinguished guest: "Everything is fine with me, don't worry."
"I heard my father say... you have offended a lot of people, so you have to be careful."
"Yes, I understand, I will be careful, don't worry."
"Then...then I have nothing to give you. This year, there is nothing to give you this year..."
Xiao Feng's physical memory will naturally think of the scene every year when the owner is outside the door and Xiaomei hurriedly stuffs her handkerchief into her bag.
Although the embarrassed and ignorant nerd was not himself, he could still relate to her, which was why he respected Liu Xueer more than he admired her.
Xiao Feng in later generations naturally didn't like the feeling of being betrothed. He didn't even like blind dates. This was the generation gap of the times.
But kindness, loveliness, and perseverance are respectable qualities that have nothing to do with the times and will always be precious.
Xiao Feng's eyes were red. He took out a handkerchief from his arms, bent down slightly and held it with both hands.
"Xiaoxue, the gift box is a gift for me to visit my uncle and aunt. This is my gift to you.
I had someone do it a long time ago, but the working hours were longer. So I made another trip this morning to get it. "
There was a commotion behind the bead curtain, and Mrs. Liu was panting. She seemed to be hugging Liu Xueer who was about to rush out, and whispered to her.
"Your father is outside. Be obedient and don't go out..."
The corners of Liu Tong's mouth twitched. She hated that the tea cup in her hand was not big enough to cover her whole face, so she had to cover her eyes, like an ostrich, out of sight and out of mind.
Shame on you, why am I, the dignified Miss Liu Mansion, so unreserved? It’s the father’s fault if he doesn’t teach him!
Xiaomei ran out from behind the bead curtain, took Xiao Feng's handkerchief bag, and ran back behind the bead curtain.
Liu Xueer was not in a hurry to open the handkerchief bag. She recognized it as her own handkerchief. Every year she would lose a handkerchief because she gave Xiao Feng a gift in return.
"You were going to get a gift, so that's why you didn't enter my house the first time?"
Xiao Feng was stunned: "How do you know I didn't enter your house the first time?"
Liu Tong took the teacup away from his eyes and quickly interrupted his daughter.
"Hahaha, it was the housekeeper. The housekeeper saw it. He asked people to go out to buy groceries in the morning.
This, this, and then the person who bought the food forgot to bring money, and then he went to give money to the person who bought the food, and he happened to see it, hahahahahaha. "
Xiao Feng followed Liu Tong and laughed twice, then saluted the bead curtain to say goodbye, and led Qiaoqiao away.
Qiaoqiao's pocket was stuffed with candies given by her wife, held in her hand and eaten by Xiaomei.
Xiaomei put away the bead curtain, Liu Tong quickly poured himself a cup of tea, took a satisfied sip, and then looked at them.
The handkerchief bag has been untied, and a beautifully made golden phoenix hairpin is trembling in Liu Xueer's hand. The golden color is shining brightly under the sunlight.
Liu Tong was shocked. Such an exquisite golden phoenix hairpin should be placed in the strongest and most exquisite box. If it was wrapped in a handkerchief like this, it might break somewhere.
So Liu Tong took the opportunity to laugh at Xiao Feng. A nouveau riche is a nouveau riche. Although he has money, he has not yet caught up with his class.
Then Liu Tong was surprised to find that his daughter was holding a golden phoenix hairpin and burst into tears. His wife gave Liu Tong a disdainful look.
"What do you know? How can the best box be as good as this handkerchief? Only Xiao Feng understands our women's hearts. You know nothing except eating!"
Liu Tong was very unconvinced. Why didn't he understand a woman's heart? The sharp-eyed Xiaomei exclaimed softly: "There are words on this hairpin!"
Only then did everyone discover that there was a small character "Xue" on Chai's body, as well as a small character "Xiao".
The word "Xue" is of course Liu Xueer's name, and the word "Xiao" has its own meaning.
Liu Xueer's face turned red: He thinks of me as a member of the Xiao family!
Mrs. Liu was very satisfied: "This child, I want to ensure that the gift I give is unique."
Liu Tong was furious: You all know nothing, he is clearly thinking about me!
When I caught Qiaoqiao with a gold hairpin engraved with the character "Liu" and almost forced him to sell his house, he was laughing at me!
But looking at the expressions of his daughter and his wife, he understood that even if his idea was correct, these two confused women would never believe it. On the contrary, they would blame themselves for their random thoughts.
Liu Tong looked at this home where no one except the housekeeper understood him, and suddenly thought of something that could be used to take revenge on Xiao Feng.
"Xiao Feng arrested Wang Tuiguan of Shuntian Mansion and sent him to prison, and also brought his wife and daughter into his own manor. Haven't you heard of this?"
Liu Xueer immediately denied it: "Impossible, Brother Xiao is not that kind of person!"
Mrs. Liu was also unhappy and said: "Master, you can't talk nonsense about this! I know you have resentment against Xiao Feng, but a man can't be so petty."
Liu Tong was trembling with anger. Even though he was telling the truth, they didn't believe him. Xiao Feng's sweet words made them dizzy and confused.
"Okay, today I will let you see Xiao Feng's true face, so that you will not be so confused in the future.
I'm not saying that he must never marry Xue'er, but you have to be careful about him and don't treat him as the best person in the world! "
Liu Xueer stood up and said, "Dad, I don't believe it. Do you dare to bet?"
Mrs. Liu immediately expressed her support: "Yes, do you dare to bet?"
Liu Tong gritted his teeth: "Okay, if this is true, you will all listen to me from now on! If this is false, I, I, I won't eat for three days!"
Hearing such a poisonous oath, even Mrs. Liu was a little panicked. What the master said was not true, right?
Not eating for three days, according to Liu Mansion's oath, is comparable to the death of the whole family!
Only Liu Xueer was still very determined: "Okay, let's take the gamble!"
