Chapter 71： 71

With a "hum", the trembling sound of the dagger inserted deep into the wood. +++All Tanmei Novels: www.novelhall.com

Xue Yuan lowered his voice and smiled, "Chang Yuyan, you have to tell me the truth."

The cold sweat on Chang Yuyan's head burst out.

Xue Yuan flicked his dagger, and the superb dagger made a crisp trembling sound. Xue Yuan's voice was not good these days, and his speech was like frosted sand. He was obviously in a good tone. Threatening, not to mention his tone at the moment, definitely not good.

Xue Yuan smiled, "If the saint hadn't said about me, you wouldn't have rushed to Xue Mansion to find me in such a hurry."

Chang Yuyan tried his best to calm down, "Before you were always valued by the Holy Master, which was jealous and enviable. Now I have been summoned by the Holy Master alone. Can I show off in front of you?"

Xue Yuan squinted at him, his eyes deep.

"What can the sage tell me about you?" Chang Yuyan smiled bitterly, "Or when talking about you, why should I hide it."

His heart was beating.

It's all nervous and nervous.

He didn't know why he had to conceal what he had talked with Shengshang, but he didn't notice it when he was in it. Now when I think of it, most of the conversations between Shengshang and him are related to Xue Yuan.

This kind of cognition would have made Chang Yuyan reluctant to tell the truth to Xue Yuan.

He opened the folding fan and slapped it elegantly. After the cold sweat on his head disappeared, he smiled slightly: "Xue Jiuyao, why are you so strange today."

Xue Yuan was still looking at him.

The robe on his body was draped over his shoulders, even if his head was scattered, it could not stop the determination in his eyebrows. The dagger on the table was still reflecting the cold light, but the trembling gradually stopped.

Xue Yuan retracted his gaze, he drew the dagger out, and continued to cut the wood, muttering, "It's harder than I thought."

Chang Yuyan didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"It's nothing," Xue Yuan said lazily, "By the way, let me show you something."

Xue Yuan called to the young man, who nodded and ran after listening to his instructions. After a moment of effort, Xiao Si held a machete and presented it in front of Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan picked up the knife, and Chang Yuyan couldn't help but walked up and took a closer look. The scabbard's scabbard was all outlined by gold wire, and it was made with more than 10,000 pieces of jewellery. The roots of the gold wire are distinct, from beginning to end. Even thickness. With just this scabbard, it can be concluded that this scimitar must be extraordinary.

And the more exquisite gold silk products, the more they belong to the royal family. Chang Yuyan blurted out and said: "Is this rewarded to you by the sage?"

Xue Yuan held the handle of the knife and drew out the scimitar halfway. He only heard a sound of "噌". The sharp blade and the scabbard made a sound of warriors and thumping around the beam.

"This is the first prize for Chunhun," Xue Yuan touched the face of the knife, "is it pretty?"

Chang Yuyan could hardly look away, "It's very beautiful."

Xue Yuan smiled inexplicably, he drew out a machete and then swiped on the table, and a white mark was cut on the gray stone table unexpectedly.

Chang Yu said, "It's so sharp."

"Pretty is so beautiful, and sharp is also really sharp," Xue Yuan played a trick with the scimitar in his hand, and he was frightened by seeing Chang Yuyan. He finally threw the knife into the scabbard and smiled back. Such a good knife must be placed in the hands of someone who can play with knives."

Chang Yuyan sighed: "Isn't it?"

Two quarters later, Chang Yuyan got up and left with Xue Yuan. As soon as Chang Yuyan walked out of Xue Yuan's yard, he ran into Mrs. Xue who hurried over before he walked out of the gate of Xue Mansion.

Mrs. Xue's makeup was neat, and she was first relieved to see that Chang Yuyan had not left.

Chang Yuyan saluted Madam Xue, and Madam Xue asked him to get up quickly and asked, "Brother Yan, you have a close relationship with Jiuyao. Do you know what other extraordinary men he knows?"

Xue Yuan insisted on going out every day to take a look, and he had to be carried out after being so badly injured. It can be seen that the person he wanted to meet would not easily go to Xue's door. No matter how you look at it, it would never be Chang Yuyan.

Madam Xue was a little anxious, and she also had faint worries and worries on her face. Chang Yu said inexplicably: "Why did Madam say this?"

"I saw that you were the only one coming to the house," Madam Xue smiled reluctantly, "Thinking that Brother Yuan would be lonely alone, so I wanted to ask him if he had a good relationship with his peers."

Chang Yuyan said that with Xue Jiuyao's temper, who can get along with him?

Like the bandits and hooligans, Chang Yuyan was in a nest with him. Chang Yuyan thought for a while, and hesitated: "I don't know if you say that you are good or not. But if you say that you are an extraordinary man, there is one. It is Chu Wei, the son of Master Chu, the minister of engineering. The champion man when I was a classmate."

"Zhuang Yuan Lang," Madam Xue thoughtfully, "I know."

*

When Chu Wei returned to the mansion that day, he heard about Mrs. Xue Mansion's visit.

Chu Wei paused, raised his head to look at his mother, frowning: "Xue Mansion?"

"Exactly," Madam Chu said, "Mrs. Xue is showing her daughter's house to her son-in-law. She just heard that you haven't married yet, so she specifically came to talk to me about her son and daughter."

Chu Wei said: "The relationship between Chu Mansion and Xue Mansion is not close."

Madam Chu angrily said: "Speaking is not near? I am afraid that Madam Xue is really anxious. I can't understand this kind of thought best. Just like you, it's not much worse than the old man of Xue Mansion. Using a study tour as an excuse, for seven years, I just didn’t want to come back and talk about a relative. Now you have become the champion and you are highly regarded by the sage. The matchmakers are about to level the threshold of the mansion. You are not the only one. No child is sympathetic to your old mother."

Chu Wei thoughtfully.

Xue Yuan is going to have a blind date.

Isn't this just a chance to let him die for someone who has a bad heart?

Chu Weiwei raised his lips invisibly and lowered his eyes, as if listening to his mother's preaching. In fact, his thoughts were already thinking about how to help Mrs. Xue and make Xue Yuan's marriage completely doomed.

*

On the second day, Chu Wei followed Dr. Yu Shi to discuss matters in front of Gu Yuanbai.

The Yushitai matter has come to an end. After the Yushi doctor left, Chu Wei stayed in front of Gu Yuanbai as an editor of the Imperial Academy.

After Gu Yuanbai dealt with the political affairs, taking advantage of his tea time, he laughed at him, "Chu Qing is very busy."

Chu Wei was a little bit ashamed, "The minister is ashamed."

Gu Yuanbai's lips were a little dry. He drank two more sips of tea, his lips were stained by warm tea, and his pale lips were slightly healthy and ruddy. He smiled gently, "While it will be okay, how about Chu Qing tell me about your study trip?"

Chu Wei returned to his senses with a solemn expression, and said seriously: "What do you want to know?"

Gu Yuanbai asked: "How many places have you been?"

Chu Wei said: "The minister went all the way south from the canal, and most of the prefectures and counties that he passed on the way have been there."

"Deep into it?"

Chu Wei smiled slightly, Zhilan Yushu, "It took the minister seven years."

Gu Yuanbai stood in awe, "Then tell me what I have seen and heard in various places."

Chu Wei pondered for a while, and then started from the beginning. He was aloof and arrogant, with a good name, but he learned a lot while visiting hermits in various states, capitals and counties.

These great Confucian scholars have their own merits, and they have very different views on the world and problems. Chu Wei watched a lot, but forgot that he was still young, and when he heard the things about the sufferings of the world from those great scholars, he only remembered the sufferings, but forgot to remember the good side.

So in the following study tours, he only remembered the bad side.

As he spoke, Chu Wei's tone slowed down, and a bit of confusion appeared in his eyes. Gu Yuanbai flicked the tea with his teacup and smiled, "Why didn't Chu Qing continue to say?"

Chu Wei pursed his lips, "The minister doesn't know what to say."

The shortcomings in various places are always just like that, and it's just redundant.

Gu Yuanbai asked: "Why don't you talk about the customs and eating habits of various regions? And whether there are many merchants in various regions, whether the official schools in the prefectures are consistent with the official schools in the capital, and if they are inconsistent, what are the differences? Which ones are good and which ones can be changed, don’t you know these?"

Chu Wei was stunned.

His expression lasted for a long time. It was a long time before he recovered. Some of his minds were not in his mind. "The officials have never noticed this."

Gu Yuanbai put down the teacup and sighed suddenly.

With this sigh, Chu Wei's mind was hung up. Is this the Lord disappointed with him?

Chu Wei's lips were pursed white, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Holy, minister..."

"Chu Qing should know what the purpose of the study tour is for," Gu Yuanbai said softly, "we must see the disadvantages of the state capitals, but also the benefits of the state capitals. Just like Jing Hunan, the Jing Hunan mine Very much, if you know this, then you can use this point of Jing Hunan to develop it in a tailored way."

Chu Wei was thoughtful, he thought about it for a while, and said, "The minister understands."

Looking at it this way, he has learned nothing in the past seven years of study tours.

Chu Wei was a little confused, but also a little relaxed. He suddenly smiled, "If it is possible in the future, the minister wants to follow the sage to see these places again."

Gu Yuanbai laughed a few times: "It's so good."

The corner of Chu Wei's mouth was bent, and he suddenly remembered what his mother had said to him earlier. Chu Wei moved his heart slightly and looked down and said, "Holy, when talking about study tours, the minister remembered some interesting things."

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows and became interested, "Talk about it."

"There is an old woman in the folks. The children in the family have grown old but refused to get married. The old woman was so anxious that she dragged the children to visit the home with a daughter. When they saw someone, they asked: Can my son marry your daughter?"

Seeing the sage laughed casually, Chu Wei said: "A few days ago, the minister heard from his mother. The wife of Xue Mansion also started to be anxious. She seemed to have been inquiring about the news and was about to make a marriage for Master Xue."

Gu Yuanbai suddenly thought, Xue Yuan was already twenty-four years old, and he was already an older man in ancient times.

And unlike Gu Yuanbai's body, Xue Yuan's body is extremely healthy, he should marry a wife, and Mrs. Xue Fu should also be anxious.

"Very good," Gu Yuanbai said, "getting a family and starting a business, it's not bad."

Chu Wei saw that there was nothing unusual on the top of the saint, so he settled down. He smiled and said casually, "If Mrs. Xue has taken a fancy to a girl, General Xue is still on his way to northern Xinjiang. What's the law to do. At that time, you may be troubled by the Holy Master and let the Holy Master and Master Xue give the marriage."

Gu Yuanbai opened a memorial, smiled, and said casually: "Let's talk about it."

Give Xue Jiuyao a marriage?
