33. Chapter 33 Want Beauty, Not Country 1

That day, after breakfast, Master ordered the Tenth Senior Brother to wash the dishes and called me. The Ninth Senior Brother spoke to Senior Brother Xiaobai. The Tenth Senior Brother looked at us sadly and followed the Master into the study.

"Xiao Twelve, there is news about the third Asarum plant that saved your life." As soon as I sat down, the master looked at me with a smile and said.

Something moved in my heart——

God still pities me after all!

The master looked at me for a while, then took the Laojun eyebrows I had soaked and added slowly: "This third Asarum plant originally existed in the Xu family of Jinling, but it was mysteriously lost years ago.

It was not until half a month ago that someone sent a letter to the Xu family, asking for ten thousand taels of gold to redeem Xi Xin. Now the Xu family is scrambling to raise ten thousand taels of gold."

Master paused and looked around the three of us calmly. I quickly raised my head and looked at him earnestly.

The old man took a sip of tea without moving, and then continued: "Xiao Shi'er will stay in the mountain to practice calligraphy. In three days, the four of you brothers and sisters will go down the mountain together and go to the Xu family in Jinling to join in the fun!"

Senior Brother Ninth and Senior Brother Xiaobai were very happy when they heard that they could come down the mountain openly.

And I counted it twice on my fingers. Brother Ninth, Brother Xiaobai and I were all three of us.

Is it true that as the tenth brother said, the master is so old and confused that he can't even distinguish between three and four?

"In the afternoon, Xiao Wu'er should have arrived. This time, your fifth senior brother will accompany you down the mountain." Master glanced at the ninth senior brother and Xiao Bai senior brother who were still cheering, and added lightly.

After hearing what the master said, the two senior brothers immediately wilted like eggplants beaten by frost.

Hearing Master say this, I feel very at ease. Otherwise, as the four of us, brothers and sisters, facing an old and confused Master, wouldn’t it be that we would never come down from the mountain?

The tenth senior brother told me with bright eyes that our fifth senior brother is a legendary figure.

The fifth senior brother has a handsome appearance, outstanding demeanor, and outstanding literary talent. He graduated from school at the age of sixteen, and is the earliest among the senior brothers to graduate from school...

After listening to it for a long time, I finally understood that the fifth senior brother of mine was legendary for being able to complete his studies at the age of sixteen under the harsh eyes of his master.

In the afternoon, I saw a familiar figure in Master's study.

When this person saw me, he bowed his hands——

It was indeed Chang Mu.

"Junior sister, I'm sorry." Her voice was as gentle as the warm sun.

It’s just...little junior sister? I was dumbfounded, could this Chang Mu be the legendary fifth senior brother?

"Little Junior Sister, I'm Chang Mu," Chang Mu saw that I didn't respond at all, so he slowly repeated, "Long, long, long, Xue Changmu."

Xue?

Chang Mu, Chang Mu, why do you have the same problem as Master? You always like to speak half the words first...

Chang Mu, no, Xue Changmu, Xue Changmu saw that I was still staying where I was, and quickly explained: "My real name is Xue, but it is very inconvenient to go out, so I had to hide my surname and use my first name and alias Chang Mu.

I hope you can forgive me, junior sister." After saying that, Xue Changmu bowed again.

Well, that's right. I understand it very well. It's definitely not convenient for someone with a royal surname to show off outside.

For example, Xue Moumou went to visit a brothel, but in the end he found that he forgot to bring money to reward the girl. Afterwards, the girl ran directly to the capital without asking, found the largest house, and asked Xue Moumou for it.

It's not a good idea if your uncles, fathers, mothers, or wives are begging for money.

Before I could speak, Master stood aside and interjected calmly: "Xiao Wu'er, you must finally change your rigid habits, otherwise it will be difficult to find a satisfactory wife."

"Yes," Xue Changmu bowed his head again, "Changmu would like to follow his father's teachings."

What? Father?

I am a patient, why can't you be considerate and considerate of me? How can I bear these repeated blows?
