Chapter 33
Chapter 33
Ji Mo stayed where he was with a stern face, looking up, down, left, and right, let alone a living person, and he couldn't see a ghost.
Are you squatting on the beam?He couldn't help recalling the plots in martial arts novels, and raised his neck to look up.
"Don't look for it, you can't see me, I'm talking to you through sound transmission, and only you can hear it."
"..."
"Your maid has a very bad temper. When you're not here, she won't even ask her to study ink. Come back soon."
Dare you have no hands?Uncle is really an uncle.
Thinking that this old man was peeping at him from nowhere, and panicking so leisurely, Ji Mo's evaluation of this person has been refreshed.He didn't go back immediately as he said, but walked around to the courtyard, lowered his dantian, and put on a posture.
I saw Ji Mo standing with his feet open, his arms raised forward, his knees bent and his palms pressed, and he pushed out slowly.
"What are you doing?"
"Exercise." Zimmer said to the air.
The man smiled lightly: "What kind of boxing is this? It's slow and soft, and it's useless against the enemy."
Ji Mo remained aloof, thinking that it was because you were ignorant.
He leisurely finished the second pose "Wild Horse Splitting Mane", started the third pose "White Crane Spreading Wings", and then performed the fourth pose... After finishing all the poses, he felt slightly sweaty.
Uncle Ling was urging him at first, like a buzzing mosquito, but then he stopped making any noise.
"What's this boxing technique called? It's interesting to look at it carefully."
"I don't know. The method of strengthening my body taught by a barbarian probably doesn't have a name."
"Who is that barbarian?"
"Meet him by chance, I don't know his name."
"Your maid has a background in martial arts, do you know her identity and origin?"
"I don't know. Yusui is a girl bought from Ren Yazi. She grew up in a small mansion. She can't remember the past."
"Why do you ask three questions?"
"Brother Ling only asks about things I don't know, maybe you can try to ask other things."
The other party was silent for a while, and said, "Have you finished your practice? Come back when you're done, and ask your maid to grind ink for me."
Leaving aside how Jimo dealt with Uncle Ling, the confidant housekeeper sent by Grandma Li earlier arrived in Liu County, and first inquired with the neighbors. The situation of the girl Ma is roughly the same as what Zhang Po said, but there is another piece of news. A matchmaker told Ma's family that they were married, just two days ago.
The butler named Laishun slapped his thigh anxiously, startling the uncle who was talking.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, you go on, did Mrs. Ma agree?"
"No promise!"
"No, no promise?" Lai Shun took a breath.
"That's right, the Xu family and the Ma family are well-matched. I don't know what the old man Ma is dissatisfied with. Could it be that he is reluctant to part with his granddaughter? If you want me to say, let's hurry up and let it go. Miss Ma is not young, so let's drag it on." It's terrible."
"Ms. Ma herself didn't want to. She said that if she was to marry into Xu's family, she would rather become a nun. What a mess! Mrs. Ma has nothing to do with her." The lady selling vegetables next door interjected.
"Why are you so clear?" the uncle asked.
"The cook from Ma's family said it when she came to buy vegetables!" The aunt immediately revealed the source of the news, trying to prove the credibility of her words.
"Why is that?" Lai Shun wondered, "Could it be that Mr. Xu's family has something embarrassing?"
The aunt said: "Second Master Xu has already taken a few concubines before he got married, and all the concubines and concubines were born. It's really outrageous. I guess it's because of this."
"What's that? A rich family doesn't ask for a few concubines. As long as Miss Ma becomes the main housewife and gives birth to a big fat boy, are you afraid of losing her position?" the uncle retorted.
The aunt snorted coldly: "Marrying to Xu's family seems to be a good match for outsiders, but life must be comfortable? I think it's better to find an honest and reliable one, like Miss Ma, it's not impossible to recruit a son-in-law. "
The two inevitably had another argument.
Lai Shun was supposed to go back to report to Grandma Li today, but now that he heard about this, he first became curious, and second, he inexplicably felt that it was a bit strange, so he postponed his trip for half a day, and found the Xu residence again.
It was almost dusk when Laishun arrived, and he scratched his head, thinking that he would not wait until tomorrow to talk about it.But at this moment, the door of the Xu Mansion opened slowly, and a person came out swaggeringly with his entourage.
Laishun took a closer look, and found that the man in satin and satin shirt, with a puffy figure and sloppy steps, judging by his age and appearance according to the descriptions from the neighbors, he should be the Second Master Xu.With a thought in his mind, he tiptoed to follow.
Look at the style of Xu Erye, he can guess where he is going with his toes, and sure enough, he walked to Huajie Liuxiang.
The Second Master Xu was walking and talking with his attendants, and he didn't deliberately lower his volume. Laishun followed behind neither far nor near, faintly sending a few words with the wind.
"The one surnamed Ma...doesn't know how to flatter..." Xu Erye said.
"Don't be angry... There is a way... to teach her..." The follower responded.
Lai Shun's ears perked up, as if there was a raging fire called curiosity burning in his body, he couldn't help speeding up his pace and getting closer.At this time, the attendant pulled Second Master Xu's sleeve, and the two stopped abruptly.
Lai Shun's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to walk forward without any hesitation, with a calm expression on his face.
The follower turned around, folded his arms, and said in a vicious voice, "Hey, you seem to have followed all the way."
Laishun looked left and right in a blinded state, and then pointed to himself incredulously: "You say me? Brother, you are not being reasonable. This road is so wide, only you are allowed to walk, and others are not allowed to walk?"
"Don't make excuses for me. I noticed you sneaking at us just now. You look in the mirror, you look like a rat, and you dare to say that you are a good person?"
Lai Shun was suddenly happy, this man himself was born with a sharp mouth and cheeks, and he dared to criticize other people's appearance without hesitation, not to mention how handsome he is, at least he has good facial features, isn't he?
"You really misunderstood this. I don't know what you two are doing with you? If I have evil intentions, I dare to walk behind you alone? With one against two, I have no chance of winning!"
Xu Erye and his followers thought it made sense.The entourage asked: "Well, judging from your accent, you really don't look like a person from Liu County, so where did you come from? What are you doing here?"
"I'm from Zhu County. I heard that Liu County is beautiful. It happened that my wife went back to my mother's house to take care of some chores. I have nothing to do, so I came here to visit. By the way..." Lai Shun said "you know" wretched Smiling, "Hehe, the tigress at home is watching closely, no, while she's not here to take a breath, I think it happened to be on the same road with the two of you."
This explanation is reasonable, and the doubts of Xu Erye and the entourage disappeared. Lai Shun saw the opportunity and praised Xu Erye from his appearance, clothing, temperament and conversation with his eyes closed. I have never seen such an eloquent and insightful person, and I am now cited as a confidant.Soon the two got up and called "Brother Xu, Brother Zhang short" and went to the brothel that Xu Erye often visited for entertainment together.
