Chapter 151 housewarming
The houses on Jixiang Street have been cleaned inside and out. Thanks to Jiang Konghou, after learning that Qin Lang was coming here, he immediately found a group of craftsmen to help repair the house and reorganize the courtyard wall. It took only one day to repair the place.
Xue Wu followed her over and was busy, just like the little hostess. Although she was busy, she was very happy.
Wang Houting received a pardon from the Demon Suppression Department through Qin Lang's help and also came to help. He is a painter and has a good aesthetic attitude.
Zhao Changqing had just entered Babu Academy and was busy with his studies, so he could only take the time to come to give him some professional advice in the evening.
According to Qin Lang's original intention, it is enough to just clean up and live in it, but Jiang Konghou was a little grand, and even the furniture was replaced with new ones.
Qin Lang was a little embarrassed. This godmother was really good to him.
I wanted to keep Jiang Konghou and leave after dinner, Jiang Konghou said, "Forget it, you can eat it. I, the old lady, stay here, you will be restrained." He glanced at Xue Wu, who was being arranged in the distance, and whispered: "Qin Lang, I have something I have to tell you."
Qin Lang listened with ease.
"Xuewu is a demon, you are a human being, you must grasp the right degree. If a relationship arises between the human beings, it will be unwilling to be with this world."
"Don't worry, godmother, I know that Xue Wu and I are also innocent." After the body was recast, Qin Lang's face became thicker and thicker.
Jiang Konghou sighed and said, "I can see that she likes you, and the fox clan is passionate."
Although Qin Lang knew that she was caring for her, he still felt a little unhappy. Jiang Konghou accidentally revealed that she did not value Xue Wu so much. In fact, Xue Wu also wanted to come and live with him, but it was inconvenient to ask.
Jiang Konghou said: "I think Xuewu will still live at home. If you are facing each other all day long, I will not feel at ease."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take her back later."
The dinner was cooked by Xuewu himself, and Gu Xiefei, Zhao Changqing, Wang Houting, and Qin Lang all praised her cooking skills.
Fortunately, Wang Houting was able to get rid of the predicament with Qin Lang's help this time. He willingly toasted Qin Lang, and did not thank him for his kindness. If he spoke it, it would be pretentious.
When Zhao Changqing was in Chiyang, he didn't like Wang Houting and couldn't help saying, "You are not sincere enough. Qin Lang has helped you so much. If you sincerely thank you, you should hold a special banquet in the best restaurant in Yongdu to express your gratitude. Are you borrowing flowers to offer Buddha now?"
Gu Xiefei nodded, the nerd said nothing wrong.
Wang Houting was in a good mood and naturally would not care about him. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhao's lesson is that I am so short of money now. When I go to sell a few paintings tomorrow, I will definitely go to Chunxue Tower to hold a banquet to express my gratitude."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "You have seen it when you are in trouble. This house is big enough. If you don't dislike it, you can live here. Everyone will take care of each other and make a living."
Gu Xiefei originally regarded himself as the master here. Zhao Changqing was in love with them. Although it was impossible for him to live here forever, he would definitely come here often. As for Wang Houting, he was indeed at the most miserable time now and needed to stay in Yongdu for a while. If he wanted to contact his teacher, Mr. Jingshui, Guo Linfeng, he naturally couldn't ask for this.
Xue Wu already knew what Mrs. Sang meant. Although she wanted to stay here, it seemed impossible at the moment, and her expression was obviously a little disappointed.
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Xuewu, you must come here often to help in the future."
Xue Wu nodded with a smile, and had already thought about it in her heart that she would come every day.
Qin Lang saw that it was getting late, so he asked to send her back.
He took out the Black Wind, and he got on the horse first. Xue Wu jumped onto the horse's back lightly, grabbed Qin Lang's shoulder with both hands, and couldn't help but remember that when they escaped from Jiuyou Sect's life and death, the time when they followed Qin Lang was her happiest time.
Qin Lang rode his horse slowly, and the moonlight shone on them. Xue Wu felt that she hadn't been so at ease for a long time and whispered: "Brother, I don't want to stay in Sang Mansion."
"They are not good to you?"
Xue Wu shook her head: "They are all very nice to Xue Wu, and my aunt taught me a lot of things, but... I always feel that I am not a family with them... I can't integrate into it."
"Maybe because we have been together for a short time, people have a familiar process."
"I am a demon!" After Xue Wu said that, she pressed her forehead against Qin Lang's back, and her pretty face drowned in the shadow.
Qin Lang laughed.
"Brother laughed at me too..." Xue Wu bit her lip, feeling so sad that she was about to cry.
Qin Lang said: "You seem to have forgotten the way you first saw me. I am also a demon. I am no different from you. Maybe it is because of this that I feel that they are not a family with them, but you." Qin Lang said that not only to comfort Xue Wu. Although he is a human now, his body is transformed from a colorful blood lotus. The three souls and seven spirits still lack two souls and two spirits. It is better to say that he is a demon than a human being.
A warm current in Xuewu's heart was washed away: "Brother..."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "I never knew the intention of Grandma Sang to entrust you to her adoptive father."
"Grandma asked my adoptive father to teach me how to practice, because it is difficult for me to survive in the world with my current cultivation level, but fortunately I have an older brother." In Xuewu's heart, Qin Lang was her only relative in the world. She didn't like the world. The longer she came, the more she missed Qiandou Abyss, but she couldn't go back. Fortunately, Qin Lang was by her side.
Qin Lang nodded. In fact, he had already guessed Grandma Sang's intention. Xue Wu was not very familiar with the world and was simple and kind. If she was allowed to face this dangerous world alone, it would definitely be very dangerous. Under that situation, Grandma Sang would not be able to entrust Xue Wu to herself.
"Have you started practicing?"
Xue Wu said: "My uncle is busy with court affairs and asks my aunt to teach me. I have already taken the second lotus seed. My aunt said that in a few days, I will take the third lotus seed and I will be able to practice formally."
Qin Lang was slightly stunned. In this way, Xue Wu had already taken two colorful blood lotus seeds, followed by the third one. It seems that Sang Jingtian did not have any intention of the blood lotus seeds, which is a good thing, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Brother, when I learn the skills of cultivation and have the power to protect myself, will I leave the Sang family?"
"good!"
The Sang Mansion had arrived ahead. Qin Lang turned over and got off the horse and took Xue Wu down again. Xue Wu raised her dark blue eyes and looked at Qin Lang reluctantly.
The side door of Sang Mansion opened, Sang Sangen walked out with a lantern, Xue Wu stuck out her tongue at Qin Lang, and gently waved her little hand in front of her and turned around and went in.
Sang Sangen came to Qin Lang: "Young Master, are you still going in?"
Qin Lang smiled and said, "It's too late, I won't go in today."
Sang Sanjun nodded and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Miss Xuewu seems to have lost weight recently."
Qin Lang was stunned for a moment. He didn't notice it. He felt that Xue Wu seemed to be a little more plump. Seeing that Sang Sangen had turned around and went back.
Qin Lang stood alone outside the Sang Mansion gate, stunned for a while before getting on his horse and leaving.
Recently, new rumors have been rumored that Qin Lang was the illegitimate son of Chen Qiunian, the demon-suppressing officer. This rumor is obviously even more ridiculous. But since this incident came out, the scandal about Qin Lang and Chen Weiyu has been instantly calmed down. Even the people think that someone is deliberately targeting Chen Qiunian. Mu Xiu is definitely destroyed by Lin Feng. My daughter becomes the queen, and I don’t know how many people are jealous.
The new king ascended the throne, changed the year to the Yuan Dynasty, and the year to Changle, followed by a series of reforms. The most important thing was to follow Daye and propose to change the current Three Dukes and Nine Ministers to Three Provinces and Six Ministry. This reform proposal was opposed by the ministers as soon as it was proposed.
After receiving the letter from all officials, Empress Dowager Xiao decided to suspend the reform, but insisted on establishing the Ministry of Justice and appointing Chen Qiunian as the Minister of Justice and still in charge of the Demon-State Division. However, his official rank was promoted from the third rank to the second rank. In the past, the court rank was Xu Daoyi, the founding of the Ministry of Justice and the appointment of Chen Qiunian made Xu Daoyi's situation extremely embarrassing, because he and Chen Qiunian overlapped their powers. What was even more depressing was that he was just a second rank, and Chen Qiunian came from behind.
The Queen Mother Xiao Zirong explained that Chen Qiongnian was in charge of demons, while Xu Daoyi was in charge of people. But all the ministers had already understood that Xiao Zirong wanted to tear a hole from here, but she still had no idea of restructuring.
Prime Minister Lu Buyao has become much more low-key. In recent times, he has been saying that he is sick and does not go to court. Even if all officials wrote letters to oppose the reform, he did not participate, but just signed his name symbolically.
After Chen Qiongnian was appointed as Minister of Justice, Lu Buyao did not congratulate him. All signs indicate that the court of Dayong was facing a earth-shaking change.
Qin Lang has been living a comfortable life in the past few days. Although Ji Hongcai of Tiance Prefecture is responsible for investigating the destruction of the Demon Sect, he has no specific actions at all. He heard that Chen Qiongnian was promoted to the Minister of Justice, and he was very glad. Fortunately, he had the foresight. The Empress Dowager clearly did not intend to pursue the Demon Sect. He was just a third-rank. Chen Qiongnian is now a second-rank official, so he asked the third-rank official to investigate the second-rank official. Isn’t this a mouse to catch a cat?
The Empress Dowager established the Ministry of Justice, and Chen Qiunian served as the Minister of Justice. It can be foreseeable that this quasi-beef of the country will inevitably hold the great power of the criminal law in the Great Yong future. How can such a person be offended easily?
However, Ji Hongcai was still very concerned about the progress of the investigation and almost every day he had to call Qin Lang over and ask about his investigation.
Qin Lang showed off the demon-suppressing order that Chen Qiongnian gave him, proving that he still had results. Ji Hongcai asked him to investigate Chen Qiongnian. He had met Chen Qiongnian twice, and Chen Qiongnian also expressed his cooperation.
Ji Hongcai picked up Qin Lang's demon-suppressing order and looked at it, sighing: "Mr. Chen is really good to you."
Qin Lang heard something in his words. Now many people are looking at him with strange eyes. It is rumored that he is Chen Qiongnian's illegitimate son. Qin Lang is speechless and highly suspects that this matter was reported by Chen Qiongnian. This old guy really does everything he can to clear himself.
Qin Lang said: "Master Ji, the incident of the Demon Suppression Department happened in Chiyang, and everyone in the matter was in Chiyang. In fact, there were not many clues on Lord Chen."
Ji Hongcai nodded and said, "I think so too."
