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 the gifts from Master's wife." Liang Qu was stunned: "Master, did your mother make 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 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 his way up 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, so 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, right? Xiang Changsong fell into deep thought. Hu Qi laughed: "Let Master know to be careful and he will slap 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. 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 Wife will know that the Ghost Mother Sect, oh, the Shuimu 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, showing 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: "You guys brought it here. Remember to clean it up later and talk about the matter in detail. Just have fun at night." 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 family, 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 pondered, "The news that Zhao Hongyuan likes men has spread widely. Now it seems that it is very likely a cover. Fortunately, my junior brother did not agree at that time, otherwise we might not see us now." "It's just that he runs fast and can raise hundreds of mountain ghosts. I don't know how many people he has harmed. Anyway, don't let me meet him. If I meet him, I will definitely kill him." Xu Zishuai's words were full of hostility. "Don't underestimate the world." Xiang Changsong was full of emotion. He was able to deal with the Ghost Mother Cult for so long in five years. Of course, he saved his life, but he didn't even cast a blood curse, and he got away unscathed after the matter was accomplished. "Zhao Hongyuan! I will kill you!" In the corner, Huang Zejun, who heard the whole story silently, had bloodshot eyes. He finally understood why he was inexplicably exposed. He was furious and spit out blood again. Xu was angry: "Stop making a fuss, take him out!"
Xu Zishuai dodged and threw Huang Zejun out of the door. Huang Zejun, who was seriously injured, fell heavily on the stone brick floor, and his wound was affected again, causing him great pain. Everyone in the room could faintly hear his dry howl, but it was much better than before. "By the way, Master's wife, how should we deal with the deed of the shop worth more than two thousand taels? And what about Huang Zejun and the dwarf?" Xu Zishuai sat back on the stool and asked. "What do you think?" "It's all up to Master's wife! *5" Although Zhao Hongyuan's shop was for the martial arts hall, how to distribute it was a big problem. Although the second and fifth senior brothers and sisters were not in Pingyang Town, they went to Chaojiang County to deal with the Ghost Mother Cultists, so they should have a share. In addition, there is the eldest senior brother. Everyone has one, and it is not appropriate for the eldest senior brother to be the only one without one. Besides, after so many days of getting along, Liang Qu already knew that the eldest senior brother was Master Yang's eldest son. Xu looked through the deed and pondered for a while: "Then I will convert it into cash. Xiao San will take 300 taels, Xiao Si will take 200 taels, and the rest will each take 150 taels. How about that?" "No complaints." "Do you want the shop or cash?" "Cash." "Master's wife, I also want cash." "It's the same for everyone." Everyone has their own job, and no one wants to waste energy on business, so cash is naturally the best. "Well, then I'll send someone to get the silver notes and convert them to you. As for Huang Zejun, wait until your master comes back in a few days. Leave him with you for the next few days. Don't let him die or escape."
