Chapter 88 Huangzhou Xu Family, Great Harvest (Subscription Request) In the room, Liang Qu was soaking in the bathtub, feeling refreshed. The thing that is most indispensable in a martial artist's home, especially a wealthy one, is a bathtub. One for each of the five people is more than enough. The five brothers were like taking a bath in a big bathhouse, and the whole room was filled with white mist. After taking a shower, the smell of blood disappeared. Liang Qu caught the Tianshui centipede hidden in his clothes, changed into clean clothes, and unexpectedly found that the clothes fit him quite well. Xu Zishuai tied his belt and explained, "Master's wife likes to make clothes for us. She gives us a few sets every year and festivals. So I don't buy clothes on weekdays. The clothes given by Master's wife are enough for me." Liang Qu was stunned: "Master, did this by hand?" "How is that possible?" Xu Zishuai laughed. "Master's wife is old. There are so many of us brothers. It would be tiring to make one set for each of us, let alone several sets. We have servants to do it. But Master's wife will occasionally make sachets for us. Her craftsmanship is excellent." Xiang Changsong interrupted: "How can the craftsmanship of the eldest daughter of the Xu family be bad? The brocade of the Xu family is also famous."
Xu Zishuai laughed: "Haha, that's true. If I have the ability in the future, I will ask Master's wife to be a matchmaker for me and Xu." "I don't think it's possible. My master's wife wouldn't want to push her family into the fire pit." "How can you talk like that, you bastard? How can you talk like that? What's wrong with me? Ah?" Xu Zishuai grabbed Xiang Changsong's head, bent his middle finger, and stabbed him in the forehead fiercely, "I'll give you another chance to speak again." “It hurts, it hurts, Senior Brother Lu, save me!” "Okay, that's almost it." Lu Gang walked out of the bathtub, and yellow liquid dripped down. Lu Gang suffered some minor injuries in the battle with Huang Zejun, so he took a medicinal bath for a longer time than the others. The two stopped what they were doing after hearing this. "Brother Xiang, which family is the Xu family?" "Junior brother is still in the process of enlightenment, so it's normal that he doesn't know those big surnames." Xiang Changsong straightened his clothes and sat on a bench nearby. "Junior's wife is from the Xu family in Huangzhou. The Xu family is an absolutely big family in Huangzhou. During the time of Taizu, there were ministers and several ministers." Liang Qu started gossiping: "How did Master's Wife know Master?" "When Master was young, he joined the army and rose to the rank of lieutenant. Because of his bravery in battle, he was appreciated by General Xu Wenzhu, who personally acted as a matchmaker for Master. General Xu Wenzhu is the third son of Duke Xu Youguang, so the person he introduced is naturally extraordinary. She is the daughter of Xu Rongguang, the third-rank Guanglu Temple Minister, and our master's wife. Speaking of which, when our master's wife married our master, it was considered marrying down, right?" Xiang Changsong fell into deep thought. Hu Qi laughed: "Let the master know that he might beat you up." Xiang Changsong put his hands on his hips and said, "What are you afraid of? Master's wife will help." "Okay, now that you're done washing, go out. Finish early and go back to rest early." Lu Gang stood up, and everyone stopped making noise and returned to the hall. At this time, Xu had already sat in the main seat. A large table had been placed in the hall at some point, filled with dishes that were steaming. I'm afraid they had just been prepared by the servants. Mrs. Xu took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "You come here in the middle of the night, covered in blood? And you're carrying a cripple and a dwarf. Can't you let this old man sleep?" "Disturbing the Master's wife."
All five brothers bowed and apologized. "Okay, you've been busy all night, and Xiaojiu even ate up half a plate of cakes. I asked the servants to prepare food for you. Let's eat first and talk while we eat." Xu gave the order, and of course there was no need to be polite. All the fellow disciples sat down around the eight-immortal table and served themselves some food. There was not enough time to prepare, and there was no time to stew meat or anything like that. Most of the dishes on the table were stir-fried, but they all contained large slices of meat and the lard used was enough to go well with rice. Huang Zejun in the corner swallowed his saliva. He hadn't even had dinner yet, and after another big battle, his stomach was empty. He was so hungry that he felt like his stomach was burning with hunger. Mrs. Xu did not ask questions in a hurry. She took a quick look and waited until everyone had finished at least one bowl of rice before she started asking questions. Lu Gang took a bite and pointed to the two people tied up in the corner: "Let the master's wife know that the Ghost Mother Sect, oh, that is, the Water Mu Sect thieves have all been killed, and they should be fine recently." After reading Zhao Hongyuan's letter, all the fellow disciples felt that the name "Ghost Mother" was much better than "Shui Mu", so they all changed their names. Xu raised her eyebrows, revealing an expression that was not unexpected. "I'm telling you, those who couldn't fart decades ago won't be able to fart decades later. If you want to do something secretly, you have to be sent away by your master. You are trapped in a corner, as timid as a mouse. You are good at hiding, but I'm afraid that each generation is worse than the previous one, like a dog that has lost its home." Liang Qu laughed out loud. This was almost the same description he received when he first came to see his master's wife. Looking at it now, it is indeed the case. "puff." Huang Zejun in the corner coughed up blood and glared angrily. Xu glanced at it and said, "You brought it here. Remember to clean it up yourself later. Tell us the details of the matter. I'll just treat it as a fun thing to listen to late at night." Lu Gang looked around and said, "Brother Liang, tell me, you have more contact with the Zhao family." Liang Qu swallowed a mouthful of rice and started talking from the moment he got the note from Zheng Xiang, the housekeeper of the Zhao residence, and ended with the capture of Huang Zejun. In the middle, he also added some details about his relationship with Zheng Xiang. Of course, he did not mention the matter of Baldy Zhang. Several senior brothers were shocked when they heard this. Xu Zishuai laughed: "Then Zheng Xiang is a man with good vision." "Junior brother, you have never mentioned this before!" “I just don’t think it matters” Hu Qi pondered and said, "The news that Zhao Hongyuan is a homosexual has spread widely. Now it seems that it is very likely a cover-up. Fortunately, my junior brother did not agree at that time, otherwise he might not be able to see us now." "He is just a fast runner and can raise hundreds of mountain ghosts. I don't know how many people he has harmed. Anyway, don't let me meet him. If I meet him, I will definitely kill him." Xu Zishuai's words were full of hostility. "Don't underestimate the people in the world." Xiang Changsong sighed with emotion. The fact that he was able to deal with the Ghost Mother Cult for such a long time in the past five years was certainly due to his life-saving grace, but he didn't even cast a blood curse, and he even got away unscathed after the mission was accomplished. "Zhao Hongyuan! I will kill you!" In the corner, Huang Zejun, who listened to the whole story silently, had bloodshot eyes. He finally understood why he was inexplicably exposed. He was so angry that he spat out blood again. Xu was furious: "Stop making so much noise, take him out!" Xu Zishuai dodged and threw Huang Zejun out of the door.
Huang Zejun, who was seriously injured, fell heavily on the stone floor, and his wounds were agitated, causing him great pain. Everyone in the room could faintly hear his dry howls, but they were much better than before. "By the way, Master's wife, what should we do with the shop deed worth more than two thousand taels? And what about Huang Zejun and that dwarf?" Xu Zishuai asked as he sat back on the stool. "What do you think?" "It's all up to Master's Wife! *5" Although Zhao Hongyuan's shop was for the martial arts school, how to distribute it was a big problem. Although the second senior brother and the fifth senior sister are not in Pingyang Town, they went to Chaojiang County to deal with the Ghost Mother Cultists, so they should get a piece of the pie. In addition, there is the eldest senior brother. Everyone has one, and it would not be appropriate if only the eldest senior brother was left without one. Moreover, after spending so many days together, Liang Qu already knew that the eldest senior brother was Master Yang's eldest son. Xu looked through the deed and thought for a while: "Then I'll convert it into cash. Xiao San gets 300 taels, Xiao Si gets 200 taels, and the rest get 150 taels each. How do you think?" "I have no complaints." "Do you want a shop or cash?" "Cash." "Master's wife, I also want cash." "Same with everyone." Everyone has their own job and no one wants to waste energy on business, so cash is naturally best. "Well, I'll send someone to get the banknotes and give them to you. As for Huang Zejun, we'll talk about him after your master comes back in a couple of days. I'll leave him with you for now, just make sure he doesn't die or escape." (End of this chapter)
