Chapter 199 The Old Manor Owner's Hypocrisy
"Your Majesty often says that Yunsu City is blessed with beautiful scenery and many talented people. In my opinion, your Yue family lives up to this description. There are both chivalrous people and business geniuses, and also..."
Xiao Zhengdu looked at Yue Tianci and smiled, not knowing how much of it was mocking and how much of it was true, "There are also scholars and literati, it really has everything."
Yue Tianci's face suddenly turned red, and he felt ashamed when he recalled the first time they met on the Luoyang pleasure boat.
The old owner of the manor trembled as he leaned on his cane, lowered his head and said he dared not.
"My family is just doing a mediocre job, barely making a living. I don't deserve your praise."
He praised back, "Your Majesty is wise and brave, Your Highness is mighty and majestic, and the Duke of Zhenguo is extremely powerful.
If we talk about the land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, it should be the capital. I am just a rural place, and I don’t deserve your praise. "
Xiao Zhengdu thought to himself, he is indeed the one who pushed Hengjian Villa to the top of the martial arts world.
The owner of Lao Zhuang is old, but his thinking is extremely clear, and his way of dealing with people is even higher than Yue Pengyu.
Look, has Yue Pengyu dared to say a word since the old owner of the manor showed up?
After all, no matter how prestigious Yue Pengyu is, it is still the old owner who firmly controls Hengjian Villa.
He is truly the emperor emeritus.
Xiao Zhengdu understood what was going on and he and Lou Xiao exchanged a glance, each of them clearly seeing the difference.
"Your Highness and I came to Yunsu City to see the scenery in the south, and by chance we came to Qianshan Temple for a martial arts competition.
I don't know if I have violated the rules of the martial arts world by doing this."
Lou Xiao said, "I can't understand the secret book either. Your Highness and I have agreed to give it to you to keep at Hengjian Villa. If you find a way to crack it, please write to the prefect of Yunsu City and report to the capital in time."
She said in a serious tone, "I looked through the secret book. Their writing has long been lost and the contents are no longer traceable. I hope you at Hengjian Villa can find a way to translate the contents into a book."
In fact, when it comes to these things, it is obvious that the capital is more adept at it, but since Lou Xiao has already spoken, the old owner of the manor as a "commoner" naturally agreed.
"I will definitely live up to the expectations of Your Highness and the adults." Even though he was not sure, the old owner agreed. He just wanted to deal with them quickly and send them away.
In this way, it seems peaceful on the surface. "I have nothing in my family, but fortunately, God has mercy on me and I have learned the art of forging.
I, a humble commoner, have the audacity to show off my sword dance to Your Highness. If there is anything wrong with it, please point it out, Your Majesty."
After he clapped his hands, disciples of Hengjian Villa, dressed in uniform training clothes, each holding a sword produced by Hengjian Villa,
He danced vigorously on the stage, looking very heroic.
Xiao Zhengdu and Lou Xiao were both watching, and during this time, Yue Pengyu, who was sitting next to his father, was quietly scolded.
"You are a martial artist, not a womanizer, so why did you bring back the filthy things from Luoyang Boat? How will you think of Hengjian Villa?"
Yue Pengyu was speechless. He couldn't say that they first met on the Luoyang pleasure boat, right?
Moreover, Yuheng stayed overnight in Yanchang Courtyard and was not kicked out.
It can be seen that His Royal Highness Prince Youshan and the Duke of Zhenguo both like it.
But she dared not respond to her father's scolding. Yue Pengyu bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "My daughter knows she was wrong."
"You still have a long way to go. Be more cautious before I dare to hand over Hengjian Villa to you..."
The old manor owner spoke in a low voice, not noticing Yue Mingxuan in the crowd turning his head away disapprovingly, not listening at all.
The corners of her mouth seemed to say, "Hypocrisy."
Yue Tianci didn't react much after hearing this. He knew that his eldest sister had a bad relationship with his father and many other sisters and brothers in the family.
But no one seems to have mentioned why.
He and she sat far away from the main seat, their figures were almost hidden.
From the gaps in the crowd, I could see that the Duke of Zhenguo's eyes were always fixed on the stage.
Distant and unfamiliar, it seemed that the heroine in the small building in his impression was just a dream he had.
After his father returned to the villa, he could only stay in the corner in obscurity, together with his elder sister who was also unpopular.
Listening to his older sisters and brothers, each of them said good things to King Youshan.
Xiao Zhengdu's eyes fell on the wealthy members of the Yue family, and he listened nonchalantly to them flattering him to please him.
He saw the inconspicuous Yue Tianci in the corner, and the old woman beside him.
He expressed his dissatisfaction with Lou Xiao who was silent beside him and kicked her under the table.
Lou Xiao withdrew her eyes from the stage, rolled her eyes at him, and said to the people in Hengjian Villa who were racking their brains,
"Your Highness and I are tired of watching the singing and dancing. I heard that Hengjian Villa is good at forging. Why don't the old owner take us to see how a sword is born."
She spoke frankly, and the old owner Yue Kun stood up and said repeatedly,
"Since my Lord wants to see it, I dare not disobey him. However, the fire is dangerous and I am afraid it will damage the hem of your skirt..."
Lou Xiao's eyes were dangerous, "The old owner doesn't want to?"
Xiao Zhengdu's face also turned cold, and he would get angry immediately if he dared to say yes.
Yue Kun hesitated but didn't dare to answer. The old man in his 80s had beads of sweat on his forehead. Yue Pengyu couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to answer.
"My father is old and in poor health. I am willing to take you on a tour." Yue Pengyu took the initiative to take on the task, and the matter was decided.
Xiao Zhengdu stood up, shook his sleeves and said, "Okay!"
Everyone stood up, but Yue Tianci was still confused and didn't know what was going on.
Only when the people around his sister told him not to wander around and to wait to accompany the two nobles, he was even more confused.
"I want to go too?" He pointed at his face. He had never been involved in the affairs of Hengjian Villa, so he didn't understand why he was needed this time.
"Yes. Miss Ten said that the old owner and her sisters and brothers are also old, so it would be best for her to accompany you.
After all, you have some connection with Lord Zhenguogong."
Yue Mingxuan glanced over at him, Yue Tianci lowered his head and murmured, "What origin... She just saved me once."
Of course, he had to listen to his elder sister's words. He straightened his clothes and was about to leave with the servant, but Yue Mingxuan pressed his shoulder and said,
"Yue Tianci, follow your sister closely."
The young man was confused and turned back to his elder sister and said,
"Okay... Big Sister, but why?"
Is there anything he doesn't know?
Yue Mingxuan looked at him with a complicated expression, "You and your sister really shouldn't have been born in the Yue family... Go."
She said something incoherently, gathered her clothes and mingled with the crowd, looking no different from a servant.
Yue Tianci stood there thinking for a while but couldn't figure it out. Then he followed the servant and stood beside Yue Pengyu.
In front of him was his father's old face. He glanced at him and didn't say a word to him.
Yue Tianci turned his head away and pretended nothing had happened. He didn't want to pay attention to him!
But Yue Pengyu shouted, "God-given!"
