At the junction of Xicheng and Nancheng, all the petty officials and down-and-out nobles lived. Liu Xianglian's home was also here. Obviously, the life of her ancestors was not bad.
Times have changed, and Liu Xianglian has become a loner, and does not accept the treatment of the princess and her family very much, so she can only run around in the world to make a living.
The family's Sanjin Mansion is also quite dilapidated, with only an old housekeeper left to look after it, and there are traces of dilapidation everywhere.
Xue Pan was followed by four powerful young men, who came to the door in a big way.
Ever since he knew that he was a 'dead man' in name, he had attached great importance to his own safety. It was also Aunt Xue's strong request that whenever he went out, he should take enough servants with him to protect him.
As for whether this is too arrogant, I don't care.
"Tsk tsk, this house is too shabby!"
Following the old housekeeper who led the way, Xue Pan looked around without any mercy at all, pointing out that it didn't work here and that it didn't work there, as if he was trying to find fault with his eggs.
"Mr. Xue, our young master is a branch of Duke Li's mansion!"
The old housekeeper couldn't stand listening anymore, and continued to lead the way while saying angrily: "The Duke's Mansion still values the young master very highly..."
"Come on, stop bragging!"
Xue Pan was a bastard, but he didn't have the habit of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. He sneered and said, "Do you know where I first met Liu Xianglian?"
Without waiting for the old housekeeper to answer, he thought to himself: "Ping'an State!"
As if remembering something funny, Xue Pan said cheerfully: "Your young master is indeed brave. He broke into the bandits' den alone to save people. Fortunately, my boss had already captured him, but in the end, your young master was still captured by Wangcai."
The boy was beaten hard!"
As he was talking, he was shaking his head very proudly. Seeing the old housekeeper's confused look, he came to his senses and explained: "That boy Wangcai is my boss's servant. Tsk, tsk, speaking of it, Liu Xianglian is really unlucky...
"
There was no trace of sympathy on his face, and he chuckled: "First, he was beaten up by that guy Wangcai until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his face was almost disfigured. Then he was beaten seriously by the boss. I don't know how he is so unlucky?"
The old housekeeper's face was very ugly, but he didn't know what to say.
My young master was severely injured by his brother-in-law, but he still hasn't tried to reason with him.
"Xue Pan, you kid, try to accumulate virtue with your words!"
Liu Xianglian stood at the door of the central hall with her crutches. She looked good, but she said angrily: "You really made me anxious. I will use you as a sparring partner every day from now on!"
"Haha, you look like a bear, how dare you threaten?"
Xue Pan said disdainfully: "If the boss didn't ask me to come over and help you tidy up the yard at home, so as not to be embarrassed when the time comes, who do you think you are!"
Liu Xianglian's face turned red with anger. If her body hadn't been completely recovered, she would have really wanted to teach Xue Pan a lesson.
Of course, I still feel empty in my heart...
He shamelessly asked to marry the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, but the result was that his home was in a dilapidated state. It really sounded like he was trying to cheat on his marriage.
The only thing that can be used is that he is also a son of a noble family. Although his family is in decline, he is still very good at fooling people. Otherwise, he would not be able to hang out with a bunch of noble children.
Xue Pan didn't care about Liu Xianglian's mood. He came here this time to represent the boss, so naturally he couldn't lose his momentum.
He walked around the Liu family's house inside and outside. The third time he entered the house, it occupied a large area, but there were signs of dilapidation everywhere, so he naturally looked down upon it.
But...
Since the boss accepted his sister's marriage, what he valued was that Liu Xianglian had potential and her character was pretty good. It didn't matter whether her family was rich or not.
Although Xue Pan was a bit shy in his words, he didn't have any intention of throwing money at people. After getting through his talk and getting a lot of benefits, he talked about the serious matter with the dark-faced Liu Xianglian.
"It's best to tidy up your whole yard. I can help you with the money first. It won't be too late if you make money later!"
"I don't care whether there will be people coming from the Duke's Mansion, but there are quite a few guests here at the Rongguo Mansion. Not to mention Brother Rong and Brother Rong's daughter-in-law will be coming, so you better know what to expect!
"
"By the way, the boss said that when you are healthy and strong, I plan to arrange for you to work in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. Be honest and do your duty. It will not be difficult to make contributions with your experience in the world. When the time comes, it will not be a problem to be promoted quickly. But
Don’t get yourself into trouble!”
Xue Pan's tone was quite arrogant, but Liu Xianglian didn't mean to be angry, she just felt weird.
Damn it, I have never seen a brother-in-law treat his brother-in-law so kindly to his brother-in-law who is not yet married. This is because he has given all his dignity to him.
He was not a stick, so he naturally understood Jia Cong's good intentions.
Whether it was sending a fool like Xue Pan over to tidy up the house, or planning to wait until he recovered from his injuries to arrange for him to join the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, as the head of the family, the Liguo Duke's Mansion did not show any sign of it.
As a noble son of the capital, if his family had not been ruined and he was good at martial arts, he could make a difference at any opportunity. Why would he have to go out to earn a living?
Having seen the evil in people's hearts, I naturally felt the kindness of Jia Cong, my brother-in-law, even though the younger brother Xue Pan who was sent looked very unreliable.
He remembered this favor!
I don’t know what happened today, but the Liu family, which had always been neglected in the past, had another wave of guests come to visit.
The old housekeeper was so happy that he couldn't help but trot open the door and lead a group of young men over.
"Brother Liu, we are here to see you!"
Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan, plus a phoenix egg, appeared with smiles and a very picturesque posture.
"Everyone, my humble home is humble..."
Liu Xianglian was very moved. She stood up in a hurry with her crutches and said, "Come here quickly. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We just want to talk about our recent experiences and knowledge!"
"Tsk, don't you think you are a strong martial artist? Why are you so injured?"
Seeing Liu Xianglian's appearance, the four young masters who came here all took a deep breath. Wei Ruolan's eyes flashed and she asked curiously.
"Don't talk about it anymore, it's embarrassing to talk about it!"
Liu Xianglian waved her hands and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's my fault and I deserve to be beaten!"
At least he was not beaten to death, so he was quite lucky. He was able to fulfill his wish and was about to receive a beautiful woman in his arms. What is there to say?
If I really want to spread some bad words to my brother-in-law, I don’t know how I will deal with him in the future.
Seeing him like this, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan looked at each other and did not say anything. They turned their attention to Xue Pan, who was leading four strong boys and had a bit of arrogance, and they suddenly became happy.
"Hey, isn't this Uncle Xue..."
"I heard that your serious injuries were all caused by that fellow Cong Sandi. This must be too cruel!"
Phoenix Egg's words interrupted the conversation on the other side, and everyone looked over.
I saw Phoenix Egg walking up to Liu Xianglian at some point, and her eyes turned red when she looked at the injuries on his body.
Silk……
This look and posture made the other companions and Xue Pan's teeth sore, and their expressions became quite strange.
Liu Xianglian felt that her scalp was numb and she had an urge to run away. She felt very uncomfortable when she was looked at by Phoenix Egg's 'affectionate' eyes.
"Ahem, it's just a minor injury, no need to make too much of a fuss!"
Liu Xianglian leaned on the crutches and moved her body backwards subconsciously, ignoring the severe pain caused by the wound. He did not dare to get too close to the phoenix egg in full view of the public.
Damn, is this kid crazy?
"Baoyu, are you familiar with Liu Xianglian?"
When the atmosphere was awkward, Xue Pan's loud voice broke the embarrassment. The guy asked with evil intentions: "Why do you look like this? You seem to be trying to cause trouble for the boss on Liu Xianglian's behalf!"
"Three brothers Cong did something wrong!"
Before Liu Xianglian could speak, Phoenix Egg said dissatisfied: "Besides, isn't it good for sisters to be together? Why do they want to get married and cause so many troubles!"
At this time, not to mention Xue Pan, even Liu Xianglian's expression changed.
Damn, what are you saying? Shouldn't he ask to marry Sister Jia Cong?
"Baoyu, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The veins on Xue Pan's forehead were pulsing, and he seemed to be rushing towards disaster. If Phoenix Egg's words reached the ears of the boss, his end would be absolutely miserable.
"Is not it?"
Phoenix Egg didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, but he actually confronted Xue Pan and said: "Since sister Yingchun moved to the big house, the fourth sister was also picked up by Brother Rong's daughter-in-law. Even sister Baochai has not been here for several days.
He showed up, and Sister Lin disappeared for more than half a month. It’s no fun for me to be alone in the back house!”
Damn it...
Xue Pan's face suddenly turned red with anger. If Feng Ziying hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and stood between the two of them, he would have had the urge to rush up and beat the phoenix egg hard.
The other Liu Xianglian, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan also looked very strange, and they looked at the phoenix egg with a very subtle look.
"Baoyu, don't talk nonsense, be careful of being put in a sack when you go back!"
Xue Pan said dissatisfied: "Are you trying to ruin the reputation of several cousins and cousins?"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "If you hear any bad rumors outside, I'm not done with you!"
As he said that, he took out a ten thousand tael of silver notes from his pocket and gave it directly to Liu Xianglian. He said angrily: "This is ten thousand taels of silver. I'll lend it to you. Please hurry up and repair this dilapidated yard of your house. Next time
If it's still in this dilapidated state when I come here, the boss should come to your door in person to have a heart-to-heart talk with you!"
With that said, he did not say goodbye to Feng Ziying and others, and left directly with four strong young men. This trip to the Liu family really made him very angry.
"What happened to Cousin Xue? Why did he leave so suddenly?"
Phoenix Egg didn't know how lethal his words were, so he looked at Xue Pan who was walking away with a puzzled look on his face, and asked curiously: "Could it be that he left in an emergency?"
Liu Xianglian, Feng Ziying and other noble disciples looked confused: You can't tell, isn't Xue Pan angry with you...
