Empress Chu

Ah Jiu walked into Captain Zhu's place, and immediately saw Captain Zhu standing at the door to greet him.

"Yan Lai—Young Master." He said, as if he wanted to greet and put on an official prestige, causing his expression to twist.

A military book was thrown from behind, and it hit Captain Zhu on the back of the head.

"Why are you being polite to him!" A curse came from behind, "I told you, don't take him personally."

Captain Zhu blushed, he was ashamed and annoyed but he didn't dare to get angry, to put it simply, if you really don't treat Ah Jiu as a person, why did you beat and scold me casually in front of him!I am not alone in front of him.

He looked at Ah Jiu who was standing at the door, and hoped that this kid would be a human being, pretending he didn't see it.

But it's a pity that Ah Jiu is obviously not a person, so he stood at the door and laughed while watching him make a fool of himself.

Lieutenant Zhu was ashamed, he didn't dare to speak and didn't know what to do, another curse came from behind, "Get lost, you can come in after I finish talking."

Captain Zhu hurried out immediately, closing the door thoughtfully, never wanting to see these two people surnamed Xie again.

There was no funny Captain Zhu in front of him. Ah Jiu saw a fat man sitting behind the wide table. He put his legs on the table, but because of his fat body and short legs, he looked very funny.

Ah Jiu laughed again: "My nephew, it's really tiring for you to sit like this."

Xie Xiao couldn't hear Ah Jiu shouting this, and bounced up like a rubber ball: "You little bastard, what are you calling me!"

But the next moment, the gust of wind approached, and his ball was slammed down on the chair by a big hand.

Ah Jiu raised her long legs and stepped on the table, with her arms on Xie Xiao's shoulders, her phoenix eyes approached her, and she looked at him with a half-smile: "Then go and tell Xie San, what are you calling me? Little Bastard, we were born with the same father, who are you calling a bastard?"

Xie Xiao called you a little bastard in his heart, but he didn't call out again, but he didn't have any fear: "What do you want?"

Ah Jiu stretched out his hand to stroke his face, the scar on the palm of his hand slid across Xie Xiao's white and tender face like a thick rope, drawing a mark.

"I can do whatever you want." He said with a half-smile.

Xie Xiao understood what he meant. When he was a child, he took his servants to play tricks on this kid and whipped him. This kid even grabbed the whip and wanted to whip him. Fortunately, the third uncle came in time and let Du Qi grab the whip , this kid refused to let go, and Du Qi slapped his palm abruptly——

Afterwards, the third uncle whipped Xie Yanlai on the back more than a dozen times as a punishment.

Even so, Xie Xiao still felt a little palpitated when thinking of the crazy look of this kid at that time, this bastard is a mad dog.

But no matter how crazy the dog is, it is still a dog of the Xie family.

"Third Uncle has come to Beijing." Xie Xiao sat up straight, gritted his teeth and said, "I have something to ask you."

Ah Jiu snorted, turned around and left.

"You boy." Xie Xiao jumped up, "How dare you not even listen to Third Uncle's words?"

Ah Jiu turned around: "Since your third uncle has something to ask me, you are still talking nonsense with your ninth uncle and me here. As a nephew, can you afford to delay the elders?"

Xie Xiao's chubby face twisted again, Ah Jiu grinned and walked out swaggeringly.

……

……

When Ah Jiu entered, Xie Yanfang was sitting by the stream and fishing.

The stream meanders among the pavilions, and there are some small fish swimming happily in the water, not interested in Xie Yanfang's bait.

Xie Yanfang didn't care either.

There were quite a few young people standing outside the pavilions. They didn't dare to approach, lest they disturb Xie Yanfang's fishing. Seeing Ah Jiu approaching, everyone had different expressions, some disdainful, some sneered, some were jealous, and some were indifferent.

Ah Jiu ignored them and walked straight to Xie Yanfang.

"Three——" Xie Xiao knocked Ah Jiu away and rushed over. Seeing this, he hurriedly stopped his feet, lowered his voice, lest he would scare away the fish that was about to take the bait, "Uncle."

Ah Jiu pushed him away, stood by the stream, and said loudly, "I'm back."

The small fish in the stream, which was testing the bait, immediately swung and fled.

Xie Yanfang looked up at him: "Has the matter been settled?"

Ah Jiu nodded: "It's done."

Xie Yanfang asked casually: "Everything is going well, is there anything else?"

Other things - Ah Jiu said: "The letter was delivered smoothly, nothing happened, and the other party didn't ask anything."

Chu Ling did not ask anything, he just said something, and it had nothing to do with the letter.

Xie Xiao was a little puzzled, what are you doing?Didn't this kid, Ah Jiu, annoy Third Uncle to be punished as a soldier?

He still remembered that dispute, Ah Jiu was kicked out by Du Qi, and he flew away with one kick.

It was simply too much fun to watch.

Why did it become a job again?

Xie Xiao gave Ah Jiu a hard look, the third uncle actually still used this nasty little bastard.

Ah Jiufeng raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Xie Xiao, her eyes were not friendly either.

"Yanlai." Xie Yanfang seemed helpless, "It's okay to be noisy, but don't fight among yourself. I know they bully you and you are dissatisfied, but you should also understand that they are also very dissatisfied with you. After all, it is reasonable to say that you cannot sit on an equal footing with them, even It's a seniority."

Ah Jiu looked indifferent: "It's not that I want to sit on an equal footing with them."

Xie Yanfang looked at him and said with a smile: "You are right, you are also innocent, it was my father who had a romantic relationship with your mother first, which led to having you, and then it was your mother who did everything she could to make you have a family to rely on. Suicide, from the beginning to the end, you are innocent, life is not what you want, and being the ninth son of the Xie family is not what you want."

His voice is calm and warm, his eyes are clear, and there is a bit of pity.

"I understand your resentment and injustice, so you are allowed to be disrespectful to your family, but."

With a but, his voice and eyes became cold.

"Since you have entered the door of Xie's family, you bear the brand of Xie's family on your body. Everything you do is related to Xie's family. You can feel sorry for your mother. Let go of this identity. I can't be sorry. My father, as well as the ancestors of the Xie family, ignored you and ignored you."

Ah Jiu clenched her hand hanging by her side, and finally let go, saying, "I see."

Xie Xiao and the other people around showed complacent expressions.

Xie Yanfang looked at them again: "You too, after so long, you should get used to it, if this continues, I won't tolerate you."

Xie Xiao and the others hurriedly expressed their opinions, "Third Brother, don't worry." "Third Uncle, you are right." "We all listen to you."

Xie Yanfang ignored them, smiled slightly at Ah Jiu, and asked, "What do you think these days? Are you willing to marry Miss Liang?"

Ah Jiu raised her head: "I don't want to."

Xie Xiao and the others wanted to clamor again, but were reprimanded by Du Qi who was standing outside the pavilion, "Shut up, don't disturb your son."

There was a sudden silence outside the pavilion.

Xie Yanfang only looked at Ah Jiu: "Yan Lai, you should believe me, the Liang family's family background, Miss Liang's appearance, will not treat you badly."

Ah Jiu smiled: "I know, this is also the facade of Xie's family, the ones you choose must be excellent."

Xie Yanfang's eyes were clear, she didn't question him, but asked curiously: "Then why don't you want to?" She looked him up and said with a smile, "Is it because you have made an appointment with someone to live and die?"

Xie Yanfang intended to make a joke, but Ah Jiu's originally indifferent smile died away, with a little annoyance in her eyes.

"No!" he said coldly.

Xie Yanfang, like that girl from the Chu family, would say such things whenever she thought about men and women.

"I am willing to die for you. Even if I die, I am still yours." Chu Zhao's voice seemed to sound in his ears, and he also seemed to see the girl's fake crying.

These liars never cared about the life and death of others, but they always talked about life and death.

Xie Yanfang took a look at Ah Jiu.

"No? Then you don't plan to get married, that's not okay." He said, sighing softly, "In our Xie family, except for me, you can't do whatever you want."

Chapter 10 let go

There was a smile in Xie Yanfang's voice, but no one thought he was joking.

The nephews around looked at Xie Yanfang without any sarcasm, only admiration and fear. When Xie Yanfang was a teenager, no one in the entire Xie family could do what he did.

He can do whatever he wants, he has this ability.

The Xie family can have today's luck, and he fought for it.

"Let you go from the imperial guard camp to the post barracks to experience the difficulty of life." Xie Yanfang looked at Ah Jiu and said, "But I forgot that your life was not easy in the first place. These are nothing to you, maybe in your eyes Here, it's a very comfortable day."

He sighed lightly.

"Yan Lai, it's impossible for a person to live a life just to make himself comfortable, since that's the case—"

Ah Jiu interrupted him with a calm expression: "I mean, getting married is the most useless thing. You can let your nephews who have no skills do it, so I don't need it."

Xie Yanfang was startled, then laughed, and pointed around: "For example, Ah Xiao?"

Xie Xiao and others were listening to their conversation, Xie Xiao couldn't help scolding: "Xie Yanlai, you fucking—"

"Why the hell are you talking to me!" Ah Jiu scolded, and she turned around and pointed at Xie Xiao, "That's how the Xie family taught you to behave? Is there any elder?"

Xie Xiao became even more angry, swearing, and was about to rush over: "What the hell, who has no elders? To the Xie family, what else do you have besides adding stigma and joking? You still have the face to say that you are great! Who are you better than? "

Other young people also clamored.

"Okay!" Xie Yanfang tapped the fishing rod, the fish in the stream scattered, and the noisy young people were quiet.

He looked at Ah Jiu first, and said, "You can't say that about your family members. The family doesn't judge whether they are powerful or not."

He turned around and looked at everyone again.

"Not everyone in the family needs to strive for the top. They are knowledgeable and talented. Since they are born as human beings, they all have the meaning of existence. This is especially true for my descendants of the Xie family. No matter what kind of person they are, the family has the responsibility to make sure that everyone has no worries about food and clothing. , you will also treat your children in the same way in the future, this is the meaning of the existence of the family."

The young people were excited and happy, Xie Yanfang was strict and tolerant, he treated everyone sincerely and never looked down on anyone, this is something that the elders who only put on airs can't do, this is the head of the family in their minds.

Xie Xiao pointed at Ah Jiu: "I, Xie Xiao, is indeed a waste, but as soon as I don't eat or drink your food, it's your turn to look down on me!"

Facing the more hostile eyes of the young people, Ah Jiu didn't have the slightest fear, and sneered: "I'm a waste, so don't let people look down on me."

Seeing the noise and quarrel broke out again, Xie Yanfang tapped the fishing rod again.

"Okay, okay," he said, "I don't want your pretending brothers and sisters, but I warn you."

Speaking of this, his eyes swept over everyone.

"It's okay to make noise at home, don't throw it outside ashamed."

"Third Uncle, don't worry." Xie Xiao shouted immediately, patting his fat stomach, "I don't know him as much as I am outside."

Others also expressed their views.

It was rare for Ah Jiu to call out Third Brother: "Don't worry, I will test them outside to see if they can do it."

Damn, Xie Xiao stared angrily, what do you mean, is this kid deliberately looking for trouble outside to provoke them?

Xie Yanfang looked at Ah Jiu and was amused.

"Okay, since you don't want to do this matter, forget it." He said, smiling slightly, "Then follow what you said, and leave you to do other more important things."

His smile was like a spring breeze, but Ah Jiu clenched the hands hanging by his side and turned his eyes away.

"Go and rest, and stay at home from now on." Xie Yanfang said, "You don't need to go to the post barracks anymore, go back to the imperial guard camp and practice well."

Ah Jiu hummed, turned around and left, and the maidservants who retreated in the pavilions and pavilions in the distance saw it and rushed out immediately.

"Young Master Ninth." "Young Master Yanlai." They took it over happily, some supported their arms, some held their hands, and some grabbed him by the hem of his clothes without getting anything, "Hot water is ready. "The meals you love are all ready." "My lord, why are your hands so rough? Quickly let me rub the balm on you."

Chattering and buzzing surrounded Ah Jiu and walked away.

The young people are angry and jealous, they also have beautiful maidservants, and the maidservants are also obedient, but they are different from Xie Yanlai's maidservants.

So genuinely happy, wantonly pouring out without hiding it.

"Bah." Xie Xiao spat bitterly, "It's just because of that face."

"What's the use of just having a face." The other person also spat, "Without the identity of Mr. Xie, I don't believe there are still people who will follow him to death."

There were also people who felt that what he said was wrong, and looked back at Xie Yanfang who was sitting in the pavilion, the young master was dressed in plain clothes, his black hair was like ink, his face was as white as jade, and he was as graceful as a frightened bird——

Although Xie Yanfang is a little bit worse than Xie Yanlai, her temperament and character are not as good as ten Ah Jiu's.

He said firmly: "Even if the third brother does not have the status of the son of the Xie family, the girls will follow him to the death."

The young people immediately agreed, and Xie Xiao yelled the loudest, "My wife often says that the reason she is willing to marry is because she can often see Third Uncle."

Xie Yanfang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she drove them away, don't talk nonsense here.

The nephews retreated, and the stream was quiet again.

An old servant came in from behind the crowd and asked, "My lord, for the marriage with the Liang family, choose another one?"
