Chapter 26 Another year of winter snow, who will pity the old man
In the Yueyue Tower, the Marquis watched the hunting team gradually fade away along Chang'an Street, so he went downstairs and personally carried a pot of hot wine that had just been warm and went straight to the study.
Along the way, Dr. Zhang who was enjoying the flowers and Butler Zhou who was arranging the New Year's gifts were greeted.
Both of them did not dismiss after they started their family with the Marquis. Although they did not have to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, they also had their own obsessions.
Zhou Yu was a son of an official in the Yuan Dynasty. Although His Majesty often said that he was thinking about Dayuan’s kindness, who knew what he actually knew that he was still in the mansion, so he had a crooked tree to rely on.
Doctor Zhang should have been dismissed, but he had something to go home to visit relatives. The Marquis's wife was both seriously ill. Later, after the wife passed away, she felt very guilty. No matter how much the Marquis's marquis was, he was unwilling to take dozens of acres of land and return to his hometown to be a rich man.
So, these two people stayed there for more than ten years. They were clearly called servants, but the Marquis really treated them as brothers in his heart.
Even if Jiang Baochan has a temper, he dares to attack the old man and the marquis, but he can barely respect these two people. Not to mention his temper, he never said a word.
Later, the little marquis had his own team and gradually favored Song Zhong and others. They became a little distant to the marquis, but they still respected these two people as before. During the Chinese New Year, they still had to congratulate each other and say auspicious words.
As soon as the three entered the study, Dr. Zhang brought a chair with him and sat directly opposite the warm table. Marquis and older Zhou Yu sat on the warm table.
The table was filled with dishes like the same as in previous years, a plate of pork head meat, a plate of shallots mixed with tofu, a plate of pineapple eggs, and a pot of hot wine.
The Marquis poured half a cup first and sprinkled it gently on the ground. Then he invited the two of them to eat and drink.
The three of them ate silently for a while, but Dr. Zhang broke the silence: "A few days ago, I heard that the youngest among the Five Poisons scholars also went there. There was one missing on the ground and another companion on the ground."
The Marquis put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine and sighed silently: "The five brothers are too scheming and too toxic, and they have lost their lifespan. Even if the fifth brother invites the monk to go to his house to recite scriptures and pray for blessings again and again, it is useless. It is already good to be able to survive until now."
Zhou Yu sighed when he thought of the five brothers' original spirit. They ignored the dissuasion and repeatedly used those vicious strategies to get the title of "Five Poisons Scholar". When they were middle-aged, they began to get sick, and then they were a little restrained. Unfortunately, they have passed away in the past ten years, and it seems that they have really lost their life. Alas, "Breaking Life is not scary, but the most fear is that it will damage the good deeds. Such a wonderful person, if he is reincarnated as a pig or dog in his next life, the history books will lose another highlight.
"By the way, I heard you sent the iron scrolls of the alchemy books to the capital?" Dr. Zhang was the back-entering team and didn't feel that deep in his feelings about the five scholars of the Five Poisons. But after hearing this, he just said it casually here. Seeing that the two of them were red in their eyes, they quickly stopped the previous topic.
The Marquis nodded: "If I don't send it, someone will force me to send it."
The butler Zhou Yu put down his chopsticks, looked at the side face of the Marquis, and said calmly: "Do you really want to use the Five Poison Scholars and the others' strategy?"
The Marquis smiled and said, "I know what kind of material I am. I don't do it when I split the soil and become the king, and I won't do it in the future."
Zhou Yu twisted a piece of pork head with his hands and put it in his mouth and chewed it: "What a pity that the Five Poison Scholars and the others want to hold you to that position for the rest of their lives."
The Marquis did not comment on this.
Doctor Zhang also smiled: "If they had followed the one from Beijing, and now they have the national fortune to protect themselves, they might not have to be short-lived ghosts."
Zhou Yu sneered: "If I had followed the one in the capital, I'm afraid you would have been able to visit their graves ten years ago."
Dr. Zhang almost choked to death with a mouthful of pineapple. Looking back, there were very few people who were still alive when they followed the man to conquer the world.
Zhou Yu continued: "It's not unreasonable that their brothers followed you wholeheartedly."
When the marquis heard this, he said, "Do I have any extraordinary skills?"
Dr. Zhang smiled and said, "Soft-hearted"
Zhou Yu nodded.
The Marquis shook his head and walked to the window, and said slightly, "If it weren't for the soft-heartedness, it wouldn't have delayed my son's years. The best time would be wasted."
Outside the window, snow began to rise.
For more than ten years, in order to protect his life, he has arranged so many backup plans to protect him step by step. He originally thought that he would not learn literature or follow martial arts and be a playboy. He even did not hesitate to slander his reputation and sing every night, just to let him live and wait for his life to be safe.
But the one in Beijing is still worried.
It seems that I, the stupidest one, have not been a few years since I passed. It’s a pity that my son has been in vain for so many years.
Now that I have never been able to succeed in literature, I will lose all my life. I don’t know how he lives on. Fortunately, I have learned the story of immortality this year, so I will take the lead. As for those things that learn literature and martial arts, just make up for it slowly.
Zhou Yu saw the Marquis gradually smile, and his heart felt warm: "The little marquis is also kind-hearted. Auspicious people have their own heavenly appearance, so the marquis can rest assured. I heard that the little marquis got a Taoist martial art from Guard Xiao a few days ago, and he was very obsessed with these illusory things. Instead, he could read more books on civil and military skills in his family. If you don't understand, you can ask your husband, but you can't hand over them, and you also have old people like us."
"I heard from Jinzhu that the first volume has been roughly understood. It is not a skill to kill people when I go to battle. It is like the health-preserving technique that Lao Ming practiced. Just take it as a good luck. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and I don't want to scold him."
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I want to have a good sign.
