Thinking that this hot summer day could only be spent in the palace, Xiao Xining immediately grabbed Xie Ruzhuo's hand and shook it. With a flattering smile on his face, he said, "This time I am here, why don't you come here?" I brought other good things, but this jade flute was given to you by my third brother, so you must accept it well!"
Seeing that Xiao Xin Ning had given in, Xie Ruzhuo would not argue anymore and put the jade flute away.
After Xie Ruyue and Xiao Xining left, Xie Ruzhuo took out the jade flute again and was lost in thought.
In her previous life, Xiao Junxi never gave her such a thing. In her previous life, she did not give Xiao Junxi such a chance. Only before she died did she realize that what she had been insisting on was wrong and that she had always valued her. is also wrong.
But what she has been ignoring is the most precious thing.
By mid-June, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. When we wake up in the morning, the sun is already so fierce that it can burn off a layer of skin on a person.
After all, Mrs. Qiao felt sorry for her daughter, so she mentioned a few words to the old lady when she said hello in the morning, "It's good for my daughter to learn self-defense at home, but she also has to take into account some time. In this weather, how many days can she survive in the sun? Let's see. Zhuo'er's face looks like this now. She is a beautiful person made of jade, but she has turned into a dark beauty."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately smiled and said, "My mother is used to pushing against me. I'm just a little darker than before, nothing serious."
Ji Shi was convinced of this, waved her hand and said, "Your mother is right, you are a girl from a boudoir, and it is not good to learn so much about fighting and killing. It is also your grandfather who lets you do what you want. In my opinion, you should avoid going to Hu Weide’s yard during these days.”
Seeing Ji's order, Xie Ruzhuo could only stick out his tongue and said "Yes."
After coming out of Zizhuyuan, Xie Ruzhuo asked Qianbi to send a message to Hu Weide, saying that he had been feeling unwell for the past two days and would go back in a few days.
However, Qianbi couldn't wait for a moment and hurried back. Before Xie Ruzhuo could ask, she panted out a shocking news, "Miss, Mr. Hu is packing his bags today, and he seems to be resigning."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't sit still and ordered the maid, "Hurry and help me change my clothes. I'm going to see the master." Such a good person, why did Hu Weide leave
There are several green pines and green bamboos planted in this yard, and now it is even more green in this midsummer day. Xie Ruzhuo didn't want to enjoy the scenery, so he hurriedly walked into the house and saw Hu Weide packing his luggage.
She bowed and then asked, "Master, where are you going?"
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, Hu Weide first smiled, and then said, "You came just in time, my master is looking for you." After saying that, he looked at the sweat on Xie Ruzhuo's face, put down his luggage, and walked to the table He poured her a cup of tea and said lovingly, "Why are you so flustered? Let's have a cup of tea."
Xie Ruzhuo thanked him, took the tea, and then asked doubtfully, "Master, is it uncomfortable to live in Xie's Mansion? Or has Zhuo'er done something to make master unhappy?"
Hu Weide laughed and said, "How can I be unhappy with a disciple like you? It's just that the martial arts conference will be held soon, and I can't shirk it. I have to go there."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo became a little anxious. After all, Hu Weide was also her master. If he didn't come back, who would teach her the self-defense skills
"Then will the master come back?"
The expression on Xie Ruzhuo's face could not be hidden from anyone. Seeing the nervousness on the girl's face, Hu Weide smiled reassuringly and said, "The martial arts conference is over, and I will naturally come back. If I can become the leader of the martial arts alliance, then Zhuo'er will also be the leader of the martial arts alliance in the future. My apprentice!"
Hu Weide's kung fu was not weak, and he was quite confident about it, but his words were just to make Xie Ruzhuo happy. On the one hand, he is highly respected and a witness to this martial arts competition and does not compete with the juniors; on the other hand, he has no intention of fighting for power and gain. He will return after more than a month and has no intention of causing any trouble.
Hearing Hu Weide's teasing words, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but smile and said, "What about the apprentice of the martial arts leader? Is it possible that the three words "my master, Hu Weide" are not loud enough?"
"You girl, you are quite frivolous." Hu Weide stroked his beard and smiled, and then said, "It is the hot summer and your body is not strong. I am not here during these days. You only need to practice the sword technique morning and night. Don't rush Seek success, you know.”
He wanted to leave, but he really couldn't bear to leave this apprentice. This girl was young, but she was thoughtful, but Huiji was hurting her back, which made him a little worried.
Xie Ruzhuo agreed and said with a smile, "Master, there is no need to worry about me. It's just that you have to take care of yourself when you are out. My disciple is waiting for you to come back soon and teach me new sword skills."
"Okay, then it's a deal. It's a sunny day, so you should go back first. I'll leave after saying goodbye to your grandpa, so you don't have to send him off."
"yes."
Hu Weide sent Xie Ruzhuo away with a smile and went to Xie Shengli's yard again. After all, the martial arts conference was of great importance, and he needed to leave for some time. Although the convening time was only more than a month, it was a long way, and with repeated delays, he might not be able to come back until winter. If you don't tell the host family, it will be unkind after all.
The martial arts conference was about to be held, and Xie Shengli also received some rumors. Seeing Hu Weide's lightly dressed appearance, he immediately guessed something.
"Brother Hu, are you going to Jinan Mansion?"
Hu Weide laughed loudly and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
After explaining the purpose of his farewell, Xie Shengli readily agreed and asked the accountant to pay him a small sum of money, asking him to take it with him all the way. Hu Weide did not refuse much. After thanking him, the two talked about other things.
Before he could leave, Xie Shengli told Hu Weide to be careful. Hu Weide nodded, turned around and left Ning Xi Hall without saying much.
Who would have thought that as soon as he went out, he would see Xie Ruzhuo standing in front of the door, waiting for him with an anxious look on his face.
Xie Ruzhuo originally wanted to go back to the courtyard, but before she took a few steps, she thought of something extremely important.
If she remembers correctly, the man named Qiu Fang is this year's martial arts leader!
In the previous life, with the secret support of Xiao Junhan, that scum not only defeated the six major sects and successfully ascended to the position of leader of the martial arts alliance, but also later colluded with Xiao Junhan to divide the world and the court!
If that scum becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance, then not only the Xie family, but also everyone in the world will suffer. Naturally, she would not say this in front of outsiders. Even if she did, no one would believe her crazy words.
But this matter must be stopped!
In this life, she absolutely cannot let this happen again. And Hu Weide is obviously the best person to stop this!
As soon as he saw Xie Ruzhuo, Hu Weide immediately smiled and said, "Zhuo'er, why are you here again?" Under the scorching sun, her head was already dripping with sweat. She had obviously been standing for a while, what a girl.
"Master, Zhuo'er wants to ask you something!"
After Xie Ruzhuo said this, he immediately knelt down towards Hu Weide and said sincerely, "Master, please promise me!"
"What are you doing?" Hu Weide quickly helped Xie Ruzhuo up and said, "You can just say what you want, why bother doing this?"
Xie Ruzhuo stood up with Hu Weide's hand, and then said, "Master, I know this is difficult for you to do, but I really don't know who to turn to except you. In this year's martial arts competition, no matter who is the winner in the end The leader of the martial arts alliance, but that person named Qiu Fang must be excluded and cannot take on big responsibilities!"
"Qiu Fang?" Hu Weide chewed on the name for a while, and then thought about it for a while before he suddenly realized, "You mean Qiu Fang, the leader of the Qinggang?"
"Exactly this person."
Hu Weide did not agree immediately, but looked around Xie Ruzhuo suspiciously, and then asked, "Zhuo'er, how do you know this person?" Logically speaking, Xie Ruzhuo is a female, and Qiu Fang is far away in Liao County. There will be no intersection, but where does this determination and resentment on her face come from
"Master, it's a long story. But if it happens, then master has done me a great favor. Even if Xie Ruzhuo wears a grass ring in the next life, he will definitely repay master for his great kindness!"
Xie Ruzhuo spoke sincerely, and although he did not explain it, the request in his eyes already made Hu Weide soften his heart.
After a long time, Hu Weide just sighed and said with a smile, "That's all. It's rare for my apprentice to ask me for help. Even if he doesn't know the reason, he still wants to help. Don't worry, Qiu Fang will definitely not be able to be the leader of this year's martial arts conference!"
With Hu Weide's words, Xie Ruzhuo slowly exhaled and said with red eyes, "Thank you, Master!"
Although Hu Weide said not to see each other off, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help it and sent him out of the city gate. Then he stood on the city tower and watched Hu Weide and his horse go away.
It rained at night. When I opened the window in the morning, I smelled a refreshing aroma.
Xie Ruzhuo looked out the window sleepily and heard Jiang Zhu smile and say, "Thanks to the good rain last night, the flowers and plants in our yard are in better spirits." Even the bamboos were a little wilted from the exposure in the past few days.
Xie Ruzhuo smiled softly, yawned and said, "It's a pity that it won't rain heavily at the right time. I don't know if the master has arrived yet." Counting the days, Hu Weide should be arriving soon, but Jinan Mansion is far away from the capital. , and she couldn't go to the martial arts competition in person, so she still felt a little unsure.
That Qiu Fang was, after all, a stone hanging in her heart.
After Xie Ruzhuo had finished dressing up, he went to Zizhuyuan to pay his respects to Mr. Ji. Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached the yard, he heard bursts of laughter inside, mixed with the coquettishness of his daughter's family.
Xie Ruzhuo was slightly startled when he saw the maid Jin Yu standing outside the door. He simply walked over and asked with a smile, "Sister Jin Yu, who is here?"
Jin Yu's face was a little gloomy at first, but when she saw Xie Ruzhuo, she immediately smiled and said, "Greetings to Fourth Miss. Who else could it be, the old lady's natal family." The old lady Ji was an upright person, but her appearance Brother Fang is good at sneaking around, and that family is doing everything they can. When she mentioned the guests in the room, Jin Yu's face became a little ugly again.
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was also stunned and said, "Why are they here?"
"What else could it be? Fourth Miss, you will know when you go in and take a look." Jin Yu was just about to say, but he was worried about the crowd around him, so he said this, turned around and picked up the curtain for Xie Ruzhuo, and said inside, "Fourth Miss The lady is here."
Xie Ruzhuo suppressed the words in his heart, then put on a full smile and walked in.
