A few days passed in a hurry, and Wei Changtian's daily schedule remained unchanged. He still fought in the morning, practiced martial arts with Xu Qingwan in the afternoon, practiced calligraphy if he came back early, and then told the story of Sun Monkey to four women and a dog in the evening.
It's quite fulfilling, but not villainous enough.
As for Xiao Feng, Wei Changtian was sure that he must be hiding in the capital, but no matter how much the Xuanjing Division's spies searched, there were no clues. In the end, they had to put the matter aside for the time being and withdrew most of the search personnel.
However, Wei Changtian could clearly feel that the entire Wei Mansion, including the security forces around him, had increased.
Although there is still only Wang Er on the surface, there is no telling how many whistles there are secretly.
Anyway, it should be able to achieve 24-hour coverage.
Oh, besides these, there is another thing worth mentioning recently.
That is, Wei Changtian finally completed his first invention after time travel after a lot of research.
…
"Call the devil!"
"Grab the devil!"
"Don't grab it!"
"I'll grab..."
At the Eight Immortals table in the pavilion in the courtyard, Wei Changtian, Lu Jingyao and Qiu Yun each held a stack of cardboard and muttered something.
This is Wei Changtian's masterpiece - Fighting the Demon!
After all, "landlord" is not a derogatory term in this world, but "devil" has a stronger sense of substitution.
As soon as "Battle of Demons" came out, it immediately set off a craze in the Wei Mansion. Its popularity was comparable to that of Douyin in its previous life. It defeated drinking, gossiping, and cricket fighting, and became the most popular pastime.
In particular, the servants and maids in the mansion love this kind of game that they can play even if they are illiterate. They often fight until midnight, causing the Wei Mansion's consumption of candles, lamp oil and other items to skyrocket recently.
From a certain perspective, Wei Changtian can be regarded as enriching their spiritual life.
In the pavilion, Lu Jingyao, who had successfully become the "devil", reached out and gently took away the three trump cards. She frowned and thought for a while before slowly putting down the stack of cards.
"Three to eight, straight."
"Son..."
Qiu Yun from the next family looked at Wei Changtian, and when he saw the latter shaking his head, he immediately said softly: "No."
"Haha! Okay! I'll just take care of it!"
Wei Changtiantian shamelessly threw out six pieces of paper: "Four to nine!"
"You, you guys!"
Lu Jingyao's eyes widened, she bit her lips and said angrily: "You are just trying to communicate with each other!"
As expected of a lady, she is so literate when it comes to scolding others.
"What is the dark channel? We are the clear channel!"
Wei Changtian curled his lips and urged: "Do you want it? Hurry up! Yuan'er and Qiaoling are still waiting!"
"Humph! Don't..."
Lu Jingyao muttered aggrievedly and looked at Qiu Yun dissatisfied.
The latter lowered his head in shame, but had no regrets in his heart.
There is a lady on one side and a young master on the other, so of course I have to face the young master.
"I can't get out if you don't want me!"
"One three!"
"One eight."
"An inner guard!"
"..."
With the close "cooperation" of Wei Changtian and Qiu Yun, Lu Jingyao quickly lost.
According to the previously agreed rules, she should "step down" at this time and let Yuan'er "step up" to fight.
But maybe because she lost so unjustly just now, the talented woman who has always been knowledgeable and sensible actually acted like a "rogue" at this time.
"I couldn't count it just now! I, I want to play another game!"
"What kind of thing doesn't count?!"
Wei Changtian waved his hand impatiently: "If you lose, you lose!"
"You, you bully people..."
Lu Jingyao couldn't hold it back and her eyes immediately turned red.
Seeing this, Qiu Yun hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Master, let Yuan'er replace me. Madam..."
"Don't worry about her!"
Wei Changtian had no sympathy for flowers and jade, and just wanted to drive Lu Jingyao out, but suddenly there was a shout from behind him.
"Brother Wei! Brother Wei!"
Judging from the voice, it should be Li Yang.
"Brother Li, why are you here?"
Wei Changtian glanced at Lu Jingyao and stood up. He looked at Li Yang who was full of joy and felt strange: "What good thing happened to you so you are so happy?"
"Haha, of course there is something great going on!"
Li Yang ran over and was about to speak, but his eyes were attracted by the cards on the table.
"Huh? Brother Wei, what is this?"
"These are playing cards... I'll tell you more about it later."
Wei Changtian stepped out of the pavilion: "Brother Li, let's talk in the house."
"oh."
Although Li Yang was curious about what the "cards" were, he still followed him into the house.
Qiuyun served tea to the two of them and then left. Not long after, there was another sound of "Calling the devil, grabbing the devil" in the courtyard.
Wei Changtian coughed dryly and asked: "Hey, Brother Li, what is this good thing?"
"ah!"
Li Yang finally came to his senses and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, after many days of hard work, my father finally agreed to break off the engagement with the Zhang family on my behalf!"
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was stunned, remembering that day Li Yang left without saying goodbye because he wanted to go back and break off the engagement.
Is it possible that Li Yang’s fiancée is ugly? Or does he have a new love?
You can't have a rival "protagonist" who wants to steal your marriage just like you!
Although this question was not important, Wei Changtian still asked casually: "Brother Li, I have never asked you, why did you want to break off the engagement?"
"Hi! Not yet..."
Li Yang originally wanted to say, "Brother Wei, I haven't seen you in such a miserable state", but then he thought that this was not appropriate, so he put on an expression that said, "I understand."
"Brother Wei, why do you ask even though you already know?"
What?
Asking knowingly?
Why are you playing riddles with me here?
Wei Changtian just thought it was because of something he didn't know about, so he didn't continue the topic.
"Um...Brother Li, how was the meeting with your father that I mentioned last time?"
"I was just about to say this."
Li Yang followed up and said seriously: "My father has been busy with a case the past few days, and he is free today."
"Brother Wei, if you have time, you can go back with me later."
"That's fine."
Wei Changtian thought for a moment and nodded: "Then wait a moment and I'll have someone prepare the gift."
"good."
People in wealthy families pay great attention to etiquette when moving around, so Li Yang was not polite. After taking a few sips of tea, he thought of the colorful playing cards again.
"Brother Wei, those cards..."
"Oh, I just came out to pass the time when I had nothing to do."
Wei Changtian responded casually: "If you are interested, I will let the maid explain it to you."
"Okay, thank you Brother Wei..."
"..."
After a stick of incense.
Qiu Yun looked at Li Yang, who was sitting opposite, and asked in a low voice: "Master Li, have you understood it? Do you want me to say it again?"
"I understand, I understand."
Li Yang frowned and said, "But I really can't figure out what fun this thing has."
Qiuyun covered his mouth and said with a smile: "You will know after playing a game."
"Is it?"
Li Yang looked unbelieving, but he had nothing to do anyway, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll just play a game."
"Master, please come this way..."
"..."
After another stick of incense.
Wang Er had already loaded the gifts on the carriage, and Wei Changtian found Li Yang in the pavilion, who was "in the midst of a fierce battle."
"Brother Li, we can go."
"Um?"
Li Yang turned around with excitement and said quickly: "Brother Wei, wait a moment! Wait until I finish this game!"
"fry!"
"Three belts and one!!"
"Hahahaha, you can't afford it! I only have three cards left!"
