Xia Chengyi held Xia Yao's hand, and the two figures, one large and one small, walked home in the dusk.
While Xia Yao was nibbling on pastries, she asked softly: "Brother, did you go to visit your parents' graves today?"
Xia Chengyi nodded, "I gave my father and mother new soil, and by the way, I bought a pot of Huangdiao wine for my father, which he loved to drink most during his lifetime. I also told them some daily routine, so that they should not worry."
Xia Chengyi rubbed Xia Yao's head and said with a smile: "I also told them that our little Yaoyao is a scholar now, and she may become a wife in the future, and our old Xia family will also be able to take advantage of it. .”
Xia Yao's eyebrows were curved, but her expression became a little gloomy when she thought that her parents had passed away long ago.
Xia Chengyi guessed Xia Yao's thoughts and said softly: "My parents must be watching us in the sky now. They will be very happy knowing that we are alive and well now."
"Um!"
Xia Yao nodded her little head hard, clenched her fists and raised them above her head, and said with a serious face: "I will definitely live happily and won't let my parents worry in heaven!"
The two of them passed by a pastry shop on the way, and Xia Yao's eyes were attracted by the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the stall. In the end, Xia Chengyi bought a small bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but he repeatedly told Xia Yao to only eat a small piece every day, not too much. eat.
It was already dark by the time the two returned home. Xia Chengyi took out a bunch of keys and opened the courtyard door with painted door gods and Spring Festival couplets. Xia Qingfeng was pointing at the sky with her hands on her hips, her face gloomy, scolding the old dog for not having eyes. . The reason for this was that Xia Qingfeng found that he was constantly falling! He fell all the way from the Qingxu realm to the Core Formation realm. Although Xia Qingfeng knew the reason, he still couldn't help but cursed angrily. There was probably no other god in history who lived as frustrated as him.
Xia Qingfeng sat down on the threshold, cursing and full of resentment. However, when he saw Xia Chengyi and his sister appear at the entrance of the courtyard, their expressions immediately changed. Their expressions were as fast as flipping through a book. Xia Qingfeng greeted them with a playful smile, "Master is back? Have you met anyone with poor eyesight on the road? If so, As long as you give the order, I will immediately grab that person and have to kowtow to the master three times before he can leave."
Xia Chengyi didn't pay attention to the crazy words of the kid in gold, because he knew that as long as he answered, it would be a disaster.
Xia Yao followed Xia Chengyi and looked at this short winter melon in golden clothes. She was sure that there must be something wrong with this short winter melon. Oh, what a pity for his brother, that he has such a stupid book boy, but he looks so pitiful, so he should be kind enough to take him in.
Xia Chengyi walked into the inner room, placed the basket behind him in the corner, and lit the oil lamp on the table.
Started to get busy.
Xia Yao and the boy in golden clothes sat on the threshold outside the house. The boy in golden clothes had a colored pottery clay sculpture in his hand to worship the god. It was small and exquisite, and the price was obvious at a glance.
Xia Qingfeng smiled and said to Xia Yao: "Miss, do you want to play? Let me tell you, I spent a lot of effort to get this. I stole it secretly from the temple while the temple priest was asleep... Oh no, borrowed, borrowed.”
Xia Yao glanced at it, moved her head and continued to stare outside the room in a daze.
Xia Qingfeng was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that children generally like brightly colored things, so why did this trick fail to work on Xia Yao?
This is because Xia Yao is affected by the memory of her previous life. Although divinity is sleeping and human nature occupies her consciousness, certain aspects of her temperament are more or less affected by divinity. Naturally, she is attracted by this kind of thing that only children like. Toy scoffed.
"Xia Chengyi! Open the door quickly!"
A loud shout came from outside the door, followed by a series of rapid knocks on the door.
"Come on, come on, you're in such a hurry to pretend to be a ghost!"
Xia Qingfeng naturally took on the role of servant. He slowly opened the door to the house and saw a tall young man standing outside, and a handsome young man standing next to him.
Who is Zuo Shuwen if not Zhong Quan?
Zhong Quan crossed his arms and looked sideways at the short winter melon in front of him who was dressed like a golden monkey, "Who are you? Where is Xia Chengyi?"
Xia Qingfeng naturally saw how arrogant the tall boy was. He didn't put on a good face and rolled his eyes, "Who are you? Why do you want to see my master?"
Zhong Quan raised an eyebrow, "Oh, are you still on? Well, have you been a noble official for a few days? Now how many brothers are abandoned, the brother is ignored? Is it it itchy?"
Xia Qingfeng also stood in front of the door with his arms folded, and sneered: "Brother, I advise you to speak softly and show respect to my master. Don't go out and get beaten without knowing who did it." .”
Zhong Quan sneered and said: "Just you? I can treat you like a short winter melon with both hands and feet."
The two of them, one older and one younger, just stood in front of the door and stared at each other, neither of them willing to give in. One blocked the door and refused to let in, while the other rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go inside.
Zuo Shuwen on the side couldn't stand it any longer, so he walked up to the boy in gold and said politely: "Little brother, please inform Xia Chengyi that Zhong Quan and Zuo Shuwen are guests at home."
When the boy in gold saw someone who was easy to talk to, he naturally did not make things difficult for him and said, "Wait a moment, I will inform my master."
The kid in golden clothes did not forget to make a face at Zhong Quan.
Zhong Quan suddenly lost his temper and raised his sleeves as if to teach this short winter melon a lesson, but was stopped by Zuo Shuwen on the side.
The kid in gold clothes was just about to turn around when a rough hand pressed on his head. Jin Yi's face was stiff, "Old... Master."
Xia Chengyi rubbed the head of the boy in gold and said softly: "Go back to the house."
The kid in gold clothes nodded like a pound of garlic.
Zhong Quan sneered and said: "Dwarf winter melon, where did that strong energy just now go?"
The boy in gold rolled his eyes, "We adults have a lot of money, and the prime minister's belly can hold a boat, so we don't care about this stupid guy."
Xia Qingfeng quickly ran back into the house.
Xia Chengyi looked away, turned to look at Zhong Quan and Zuo Shuwen, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Zhong Quan raised his voice and said in a strange tone: "Hey, this is not a high-ranking official in Xia. I thought I couldn't see a high-ranking official in Xia."
Zuo Shuwen held his forehead.
Zhong Quan grabbed Xia Chengyi's neck and asked, "Truthfully, what's going on with that short winter melon, and why did he call you master?"
The tall boy's hand was already very strong. Xia Chengyi felt his breathing hitched and quickly slapped the tall boy's hand away, "It's a long story..."
Zhong Quan glared, "Then let's make a long story short!"
Xia Chengyi told Zhong Quan, Zuo Shuwen and Zhong Quan that he had picked up Xia Qingfeng on the road.
The reason why he did not tell the two of them about the sword spirit was because Mr. Lu once told him that the two swords had extraordinary origins and might cause some unnecessary trouble. This was also the reason why Xia Chengyi did not tell the truth.
Zhong Quan and Zuo Shuwen also learned about Xia Qingfeng's background. After hearing this, Zhong Quan waved his hand and said generously: "It turns out that Xiao Donggua is also a little orphan, that's all. Uncle Zhong sees the suffering of the people's livelihood the most, so he won't follow him. That short winter melon is so familiar."
In the yard, Xia Qingfeng, who was eavesdropping, heard what Zhong Quan said. His teeth itched with anger and he wished he could not slap to death this ignorant boy in front of him.
Xia Yao looked confused, wondering why Xia Qingfeng seemed to be suffering from epilepsy.
Zhong Quan and Zuo Shuwen stepped into the courtyard. When entering, Zhong Quan raised his chin provocatively towards the kid in gold clothes, and then swaggered into the inner room.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
Xia Qingfeng bared his teeth and claws, his expression ferocious.
After Xia Yao saw Zhong Quan and Zuo Shuwen, she stood up and greeted politely: "Brother Zhong, brother Zuo."
Zhong Quan grinned and said: "Little Yaoyao, do you miss your brother Zhong Quan?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to rub Xia Yao's little head, but Xia Yao dodged it.
After Xia Yao dodged the tall boy's big hand, she ran to stand next to Xia Chengyi and said, "Brother Zhong Quan, a grown man, how come he behaves like a woman every day?"
Zhong Quan smiled and took back his hand hanging in the air.
Zuo Shuwen laughed heartily and pointed at Zhong Quan while laughing, "Did you hear that? I act like a bitch every day."
Xia Qingfeng secretly gave Xia Yao a thumbs up. As expected of the reincarnation of the Valkyrie, her words were still so sharp.
Zhong Quan couldn't get angry at Xia Yao. After all, she was childlike and she was such a cute girl. He could only vent his anger on Zuo Shuwen who was standing aside.
Zhong Quan slapped Zuo Shuwen on the head, glared and said: "Why are you laughing? When it comes to the person who looks like a woman, let alone me, just take a look at your thin skin and tender flesh, put some on it The rouge and gouache in Rouge Shop is probably more beautiful than ordinary women."
Zuo Shuwen retorted: "I'm so handsome! Look at yourself. You're tall and thick. When you stepped out, you thought some bandit had broken in."
"Try saying it again!?"
"What did you just say?"
The two stared at each other, frozen in place.
Xia Chengyi smiled and said, "Have you eaten yet? If not, it's just right. I've cooked a pot of bamboo shoots and fish soup, which is just enough for the four of us."
Xia Qingfeng's share was automatically ignored by Xia Chengyi. Anyway, he was a sword spirit and didn't need to eat, drink or have sex. It was really unnecessary for him to eat. Besides, there wasn't much fish soup to cook, so adding another pair of bowls and chopsticks would be a waste. There is not enough for everyone to eat.
After hearing this, Xia Qingfeng beat her chest with both hands, felt heartbroken, and howled, "No one loves me, no one loves me, even my dearest master won't let me eat at the table!"
Zhong Quan sneered and said: "How brave! How dare you, a servant, come to the table to eat?"
These words fell into the ears of the boy in gold, but he was so angry that he straightened up and put his hands on his hips and shouted angrily: "Silly man, don't think I'm afraid of you. Believe it or not, I'll kill you with one finger!"
"Oh! Can't you see? Come on," Zhong Quan looked sideways at the kid in gold and pointed at his face, "Come on, hit him here, hit him hard, and if you say it hurts, I lose."
