In the room, Liang Qu soaked in the bathtub and felt refreshed.
The most indispensable thing for a martial artist's family, especially a wealthy martial artist's family, is a bathtub.
One is more than enough for five people.
The five senior brothers were like taking a bath in a big bathhouse, the whole room was filled with white mist.
After taking a bath, the smell of blood disappeared. Liang Qu caught the Tianshui Centipede hidden in his clothes and put on clean clothes. Unexpectedly, he found that the clothes fit him quite well.
Xu Zishuai put on his belt and explained: "Master's wife likes to make clothes for us, and she gives us a few sets during holidays, so I usually don't buy clothes. I just rely on what Master's mother gives me."
Liang Qu was stunned: "Mother made it by hand?"
"How is that possible?" Xu Zishuai laughed, "Master's wife is old, and there are so many of us brothers. It would be very tiring for each of us to have one set for each person, let alone several sets for each person. They are all done by servants, but Master's wife occasionally gives them to us. The craftsmanship in making sachets is excellent."
Xiang Changsong interjected: "Can the eldest lady of the Xu family not be good at craftsmanship? The Xu family is also famous for its brocades."
Xu Zishuai laughed: "Haha, that's true. If I have the ability in the future, I can ask my wife to be a matchmaker for me and Mrs. Xu."
"I don't think it's possible. The master's wife is reluctant to push her family into the fire pit."
"You guy, how can you talk, how can you talk, what's wrong with me? Huh?" Xu Zishuai held Xiang Changsong's head, curled his middle finger, and punched his forehead hard, "I'll give you another chance to speak again. "
"It hurts, it hurts, Senior Brother Lu, save me!"
"Okay, that's almost it." Lu just stepped out of the bathtub, and the yellow medicine dripped down.
Lu Gang suffered some minor injuries during the battle with Huang Zejun, so he took a medicinal bath, which took longer than the others.
The two stopped moving when they heard this.
"Senior Brother Xiang, which family is the Xu family?"
"Junior brother is still in enlightenment. I don't know that those big surnames are normal." Xiang Changsong arranged his clothes and sat on a bench nearby. "Junior sister is from the Xu family in Huangzhou. The Xu family is an out-and-out famous surname in Huangzhou. , there were several ministers who were ministers during the time of Taizu."
Liang Qu started gossiping: "Then how did the master's wife meet the master?"
"Master joined the army when he was young and worked all the way to the rank of captain. Because of his bravery in battle, he was appreciated by General Xu Wenzhu. He personally acted as a matchmaker for Master.
General Xu Wenzhu is the third son of Duke Xu Youguang. The person he introduced is naturally unusual. She is the daughter of Xu Rongguan, the third-rank minister of Guanglu Temple, who is our master's wife. Speaking of which, the master's wife was married to the master at that time, so it was considered a marriage, right? Xiang Changsong fell into deep thought.
Hu Qi laughed: "Let Master know to be careful and he will whip you."
Xiang Changsong put his hands on his hips and said, "What are you afraid of? Master's wife will take action."
"Okay, let's go out after washing up. Finish early and go back to rest early."
Lu Gang stood up, and everyone stopped making noise and returned to the hall.
At this time, Mr. Xu had already taken the main seat. A large table had been set up in the hall at some point, and it was filled with dishes that were steaming hot. It was probably just made by the servants.
Mrs. Xu took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "It's so late at night, and someone smelling of blood comes here? And he's carrying a cripple, a dwarf, so he can't let the old man sleep."
"Excuse me, Master."
All five brothers bowed their heads and apologized.
"Okay, seeing that you have been busy all night, Xiaojiu even ate half of the plate of pastries. I asked my servants to prepare food for you. Let's eat first and chat while eating."
Mrs. Xu ordered, and there was nothing to be polite about. All the fellow apprentices sat down around the Eight Immortals table and each served their meals.
The preparation time was not very sufficient, and there was no time to stew meat or something. Most of the dishes on the table were stir-fried, but they were also mixed with large slices of meat, and the lard used was enough for rice.
Huang Zejun in the corner swallowed. He hadn't even eaten dinner, and he had another big fight. His stomach was empty, and he was really hungry, burning like a fire.
Mrs. Xu was not in a hurry to ask. She glanced at them and waited until everyone had placed at least a bowl of rice before she asked.
Lu Gang took a bite and pointed to the two people tied up in the corner: "So that Master Mu will know that the Ghost Mother Sect, oh, the Shui Mu Sect's thieves have all been killed, and everything should be fine recently."
After reading Zhao Hongyuan's letter, all the brothers felt that Gui Mu's name was much better than Shui Mu, so they all changed their names.
Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows with an expected expression.
"Let me just say, those who didn't hold it in decades ago will still be unable to hold it in decades later. If you do anything secretly, your master will pay for it.
It can be said that he is trapped in a corner, as timid as a mouse. He is hiding well, but he is just like a lost dog. "
Liang Qu laughed out loud. These words were almost the same as the description he got when he came to see his wife for the first time.
Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.
"puff."
Huang Zejun in the corner coughed up a mouthful of blood and glared angrily.
Mrs. Xu glanced at it and said: "You guys brought it here. Remember to clean it up later and talk about the matter in detail. Just enjoy it in the evening."
Lu Gang looked around and said, "Junior brother Liang, tell me, you have more contact with the Zhao family."
Liang Qu swallowed his food and started talking about it after getting a note from Zheng Xiang, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, until he caught Huang Zejun. In the middle, he also added some information about his relationship with Zheng Xiang. Of course, he did not mention the matter of Scarlet Zhang. .
Several senior brothers were shocked when they heard this.
Xu Zishuai laughed loudly: "Then Zheng Xiang is quite discerning."
"Junior brother, you have never mentioned this before!"
"I just don't think it matters"
Hu Qi thought: "The news about Zhao Hongyuan's seductress spread widely. Now it seems that it is probably a cover. Fortunately, my junior brother did not agree at the time, otherwise we might not be able to see us now."
"That is to say, he can run very fast and can raise hundreds of mountain ghosts. He has killed many people. Don't let me encounter him anyway. I will definitely kill him if I encounter him." Xu Zishuai's words were filled with venom.
"Don't underestimate the people of the world." Xiang Changsong sighed with emotion.
Being able to deal with the Ghost Mother Cult for so long in five years, although there is a life-saving grace, but not even a blood curse was cast, and after the incident was completed, he escaped completely
"Zhao Hongyuan! I will kill you!"
In the corner, Huang Zejun, who silently heard the cause and effect, had bloodshot eyes. He finally understood why he was inexplicably exposed. He was so angry that he vomited out another mouthful of blood.
Mrs. Xu was angry: "It's so noisy, take him out!"
Xu Zishuai dodged and threw Huang Zejun out the door.
Huang Zejun, who was seriously injured, fell heavily on the stone tile floor, and his wounds were affected again, causing him great pain.
Everyone in the room could faintly hear his howling, but it was much better than before.
"By the way, Master, what should I do with the land deed of the shop worth more than two thousand taels? And what should I do with Huang Zejun and the dwarf?" Xu Zishuai sat back on the stool and asked.
"What do you think?"
“It’s all up to the master’s wife!*5”
Although Zhao Hongyuan's shop words are for martial arts schools, how to distribute them is a big problem.
Although the second senior brother and the fifth senior sister were not in Pingyang Town, they went to Chaojiang County to deal with the Ghost Mother Cultists, so they deserve a share of the pie.
In addition, there are senior brothers, everyone has them all, and it would not be appropriate to have only the senior brothers left.
Besides, after spending so many days together, Liang Qu already knew that the eldest brother was the eldest son of Master Yang.
Mrs. Xu looked at the land deed and pondered for a while: "Then I'll convert it into cash. The mistress will get 300 taels, the mistress will get 200 taels, and the remaining one will get 150 taels. How about that?"
"I have no complaints."
"Do you want a shop or cash?"
"Cash it."
"Master Wife, I also want cash."
"Everyone is the same."
Everyone has their own jobs, and no one wants to waste energy on doing business. Naturally, cash is the best option.
"Well, then I'll send someone to get the banknote and give it to you. As for Huang Zejun, wait until your master comes back in two days. I'll leave it to you in the next few days. Just don't let him die and escape."
