Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 98 The Golden Lock
When Li Xiuyuan brought Qing'e to the front yard.

At the entrance of the lobby, the body of Lord Heishan who died on the valley field last night was transported back by the guards of the Li family and placed on the ground.

There is also a big pale golden gun stuck in his head, swallowing the golden gun.

Next to it, there were more than a dozen dead tigers and dozens of hungry wolves.

For some reason, the beasts that were killed last night were all placed here.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the corpse of the Black Mountain Monarch. Even though the beast died in his own hands, he was still a little terrified when he saw the huge size.

"Father."

After entering the lobby, I saw Li Dafu sitting on the main seat, and seemed to be discussing something with the housekeeper and other shopkeepers.

When Li Dafu saw Li Xiuyuan approaching fiercely, he immediately beamed with joy: "Okay, okay, as long as my son is fine, although Dr. Fan diagnosed yesterday that there is no serious problem, but as a father, I still don't feel at ease. , drink this chicken soup first, keep it warm for you, this is a ten-year-old hen, it has been up for a full night, added ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, red dates and many other tonics, it is guaranteed to be able to quickly Get your vitality back."

As he spoke, he immediately ordered his servants to fetch the chicken soup that was warming on the nearby stove.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Father is worried, the baby is fine, just fell asleep, and everything is fine now."

"Although you are better, your vitality must have been exhausted. Listening to my father, I'd better drink this chicken soup first." Li Dafu said.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, but he couldn't help it, so he took the chicken soup from the servant and finished it in one gulp.

The life of this landlord young master is corruption. The chicken soup is lukewarm, neither cold nor hot. I'm afraid he will have to have a special servant to wait on him all night.

"My son, what's the matter for coming here in such a hurry?" Li Dafu asked.

Li Xiuyuan put down the bowl in his hand, and said sadly: "I want to ask my father about the situation last night. I heard Qing'e said that Tieshan, Li Zhong and a dozen other guards all died, and only two survived."

"Yeah, only two survived, and more than a dozen guards died. The loss was heavy. This matter has already caused trouble in Guobei County, and there are all kinds of things to say."

Li Dafu also sighed; "But it's good that my son is fine, and you don't have to worry about the matter of guarding, you have already dealt with it as a father, everything that should be compensated has been compensated, and what should be comforted has been comforted. This is something no one wants to see."

"I don't know if we have started to take care of the funeral." Li Xiuyuan asked.

"This is still going on. You don't need to worry about this matter. As a father, you will handle it properly." Li Dafu said, he didn't want his son to pay attention to these unlucky things.

When something happens and someone dies, the landlord Haoqiang's family usually orders his servants to deal with the big and small things, and they will not come forward by themselves.

"It's like this, Tieshan, Li Zhong and the others lost their lives to protect me after all. I want to build a temple for them so that they can enjoy incense." Li Xiuyuan said.

I heard from Qing'e that a dozen of her guards became fierce ghosts after death, and might be left behind by the city god to serve as ghost messengers, so it is necessary to build this temple, so that Tieshan, Li Zhong and other guards will be a post-Han, and die. Can also become a ghost hero.

Li Dafu nodded: "Since my son said so, I will ask someone to do it for my father. You should rest more now, and don't worry about other things."

After finishing speaking, he looked suspiciously at Qing'e next to him.

"I've seen the master." Qing'e hurriedly saluted.

Li Dafu's eyes flickered, and he said in surprise: "Didn't you leave last night? Why did you stay in my Li family?"

Although Qing'e helped out yesterday, he still had a natural resistance to ghost foxes, and felt that staying at home would bring disaster.

"The concubine is already the son's person, and the concubine will follow wherever the master is." Qing'e knew that Li Dafu didn't like her, so she didn't get angry, and said softly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Father, Qing'e is a nice person, and she saved our lives yesterday, why not keep her here."

Li Dafu stroked his beard and said, "But I heard that fox spirits will confuse men the most, and they will also suck men's Yuanyang, causing men to die early. I'm afraid it would be wrong if they stay."

"Master, although I'm a vixen, I'm not that kind of vicious vixen. Absorbing Yuanyang will damage my merit, and sooner or later it will bring disaster. How could I do such a thing?"

Qing'e said: "I really want to serve the young master, please let the master let me stay, I guarantee that I won't bring harm to the family."

"My son, what do you say?" Li Dafu looked at Li Xiuyuan again.

Although he doesn't like other people, it can be seen that his son seems to have developed a certain love for Qing'e. Although he wants to drive Qinghu away, he has to worry about his son's feelings.

"My child thinks that Qing'e is kind-hearted. Although she is a different kind, she has cultivated into a human body. If she can stay in the house like an ordinary person, it would be a good thing." Li Xiuyuan cupped his hands.

Li Dafu pondered for a moment, hesitated for a while before saying, "It is said that marriage is a matter of parental decision, if your parents can come and discuss with me about Xiuyuan taking a concubine, that would be the best. "

"Thank you, master. I'll go and inform my parents to come." Qing'e was overjoyed.

Li Xiuyuan smiled helplessly, he could see that his father still didn't want to accept Qing'e, and inviting Qing'e's parents to come over was just a way of delaying, and it was inevitable that there would be no trouble at that time.

However, there was no way to refute my father's excuse. After all, it was only natural to inform Qing'e's parents.

It's really difficult for people and foxes to be together.

After talking about this matter for a while, Li Dafu suddenly changed the subject and sighed; "Speaking of all these things, it was all caused by that damn County Magistrate Liu. If this corrupt official doesn't target our Li family, we will The Li family will not have so many troubles, but after going through all this, the father understands that it is not enough for our Li family to be rich and powerful in Guobei County, we must also have power."

"My son, you have been a child a few years ago, and you should have prepared early. You should go to the city to take the examination of scholar. After you have the status of scholar, you can go to the examination of Juren. If you can be nominated in the palace examination, then our Li family can be regarded as a scholar. The real Guangzong Yaozu has been honored, and he will not be afraid of that so-called County Magistrate Liu."

Fame is still very important in this world.

"My child has already had such an idea." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

The official body is indeed a kind of amulet at certain times.

Li Dafu said: "Since that's the case, then there's no need to delay. I'll leave in three days. I've already notified the housekeeper in the city to take care of it. I believe everything will be ready when you get well."

"So urgent?" Li Xiuyuan was taken aback.

"It's not too urgent. Those classmates of yours who went early are already in the city. You are also a scholar. You can't just bury your head in martial arts training. You have to make more classmates. Maybe they will still be you when you become an official in the future. colleagues." Li Dafu said.

When Li Xiuyuan thought about it, it was indeed the case.

Didn't the Wang Ping I met before go to the city early?

It's just that I spent all my time practicing martial arts, and I didn't have so much time to make friends in the language.

Now it seems that it is necessary to pick up the Four Books and Five Classics again, the sage has learned.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for me to fail the examination of a scholar after studying Chinese for more than ten years.

After a while, after everything was agreed upon, Li Xiuyuan took Qing'e and left the lobby.

"Master, the master said that the important matter of marrying a wife and taking a concubine should be notified to my parents. The concubine has to go out and invite my parents. Only in this way can the concubine follow the master in a legitimate way in the future." Qing'e blushed and said softly .

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and nodded: "Alright, this can also dispel my father's scruples, but it can be seen that my father's attitude is much better than before. I still remember when I saw you for the first time, my father was scared. But let the guards beat you to death."

Qing'e giggled: "That's also thanks to the kindness of the young master, who let me go."

"You haven't harmed anyone, so I naturally don't have the heart to kill people. If I encounter a monster like Lord Heishan, I will definitely not spare you." Li Xiuyuan said, "Then when do you plan to set off?"

Qing'e thought for a moment: "Young master says when, let's do it."

Li Xiuyuan said: "The sooner this matter is resolved, the better, lest my father change his mind again, just today, you can ride the sky and ride the wind, go early and return early."

"Yes, that concubine will listen to the young master." Qing'e nodded, already regarded herself as Li Xiuyuan's concubine, and began to rely on Li Xiuyuan in everything.

"Since we are leaving today, I will give you something before I leave. You can wait here for a while." Li Xiuyuan smiled.

Although Qing'e was puzzled, she couldn't help but feel a little hopeful when she heard that she was going to give her something.

After a while, Li Xiuyuan came back with a brocade box in his hand.

After opening it, inside the brocade box was a pair of exquisite golden locks, with finely carved patterns, a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the engraving of the three characters Li Xiuyuan.

"This is the golden lock that my father made for my future wives and concubines. Put it on first, and my father will not regret it later." Li Xiuyuan said.

Qing'e nodded shyly, and according to what Li Xiuyuan said, she took the golden lock and tied it around her white jade neck.

Not too big, not too small, just right.

After chatting with each other for a while, Qing'e reluctantly left.

It transformed into a green fox, with a golden lock tied around its neck, making a crisp shaking sound, like a wind chime.

"Take care, son, the concubine will be back soon."

After Qinghu gave a salute, he left in the air.

Like last time, Li Xiuyuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching her leave.

"Meow~!"

The black cat in the house ran over at some point, rubbed against Li Xiuyuan's calf, and watched Qinghu leave with squinted eyes.

It seems a little happy.

　It's a bit stuck, and I have to conceive a new chapter. The chapter of Guobei County has come to an end, and these two chapters will be overdue.

　　By the way, a little story: If someone is sitting at home and suddenly smells a scent of incense, it means that a Buddha is passing by nearby.
