Father's love is like a mountain

Chapter 15 An Ordinary Woman
Xia Yongchu walked out of the backyard of the study.

He stopped, squinted his eyes, and felt the oncoming spring breeze for a moment, the fragrance of the soil brought by the breeze, and the breath of revival of all things.

The spring breeze was blowing on his face, and his mood also improved.

With a happy mood, he passed through a low courtyard wall and walked along the veranda for more than a mile.

He looked at the colorful flowers in full bloom along the way, as well as the delicate green leaves and grass, and felt the traces of spring everywhere.

Over the years, Xia Mansion has bought all the surrounding land, expanded it several times, and built a large garden.

In his mind, this should not be worse than the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

At least, he spent more money and hired better designers and craftsmen.

He was looking at not far away, a cluster of flowers competing for splendor on the grass, when suddenly a clear voice sounded behind him: "The third master is so excited, are you enjoying the beautiful spring?"

Just listening to this voice, one can outline an independent, quiet and beautiful figure in his mind.

It's a pity... Xia Yongchu turned around, glanced at the ordinary face, and responded with a smile: "Yuzhen, I haven't seen you for several months, I miss you very much."

He regretted that there were obvious traces of makeup on Liu Yuzhen's face.

How ugly is it without makeup?It's a pity for her graceful figure and those bright water-shearing eyes.

Liu Yuzhen's expression didn't change, but there was a subtle fluctuation in her eyes.

She said lightly: "For the poor girl, please don't make it too difficult for the third master."

Xia Yongchu smiled a little embarrassedly, "Did I make things difficult for you?"

"You call the little girl by her boudoir name so affectionately, but in fact, the little girl and the third master are just a cooperative relationship. If outsiders hear this, it will hinder the little girl's reputation."

Xia Yongchu heard this, shook his head slightly, and said with a broken smile: "You told me the name yourself, so is it wrong for me to call you by your name?"

Liu Yuzhen still had no expression on her face, but her eyes were slightly shy and annoyed, "Mr. Xia has read a lot of poetry and books, and he was a Jinshi in high school. It doesn't mean that he doesn't even have the most basic moral concepts of right and wrong. The little girl is Yunying. As an unmarried body, how can my boudoir name be called by others at will!"

Xia Yongchu stared into her eyes: "What does the worldly morality have to do with me? If you can't get rid of these, don't talk about cultivating immortals and Taoism, you can't do it."

Liu Yuzhen seemed to be shaken, her almond eyes opened wide, her lips parted slightly, and she nodded after a while: "The little girl has been taught. Thank you, Third Master, for your guidance!"

"Actually, Yuzhen, you don't need to be self-effacing and call yourself a little girl, just say 'you' and 'I', can't you? Why bother to engage in worldly things," Xia Yongchu smiled and did not continue this topic. "Your lord, did you agree to make a move?"

Liu Yuzhen shook her head: "I'm sorry, although the little girl tried her best to persuade her, the lord seemed to have some concerns and was unwilling to take action. The little girl secretly thought that maybe he was in the critical period of condensing the gangster and refining the evil spirit, and he was unwilling to do anything, which would affect his cultivation."

"That's okay. Of course it would be better if we can kill him now. If we can't, it won't hurt me if we procrastinate. On the contrary, we will be more confident in dealing with him." After pondering for a moment, Xia Yongchu said, "By the way, Yuzhen, if you can If you can find out, where there is strong energy or evil energy, I am willing to reward you with great courtesy."

Liu Yuzhen's eyes flickered: "Third Master, could it be that you have devoted yourself to cultivating silently, and you have surpassed foundation building and Qi training in just six years, and now you are about to condense the evil spirit?"

Xia Yongchu smiled and shook his head: "It's just preparation in advance."

He didn't fully trust Liu Yuzhen who took the initiative to join him.Of course, this woman also had reservations.

In essence, the two parties are just cooperating. Talking about trust and loyalty is a bit extravagant.

Liu Yuzhen thought for a while, "If there is enough information to impress Your Majesty, maybe the little girl can find out from him, where is the evil spirit."

"I understand." After pondering for a moment, Xia Yongchu said, "As for the information that is sufficient, I can give you some and let you use it on business."

However, Liu Yuzhen hesitated: "Although that's the case... However, the little girl thinks that the news of such a valuable thing may not be known to the lord. So it is very possible that it is not that the little girl can't find out, but that the lord himself I don’t know either. Telling him important information like this seems to be…”

Xia Yongchu sneered and said: "That's okay, anyway, he's going to be dead soon, and it doesn't matter how much important information a dead person knows."

Liu Yuzhen nodded: "The little girl will do her best."

Xia Yongchu took a deep look at her: "Pay attention to protecting yourself. If you can't find out the news, you won't be able to find out. It's nothing, Chenggu is happy, and there is no blame for failure. The news will be placed in the usual place, you find time to get it."

"It's...the last thing. Brother Xia, when can the little girl take a look at the qi training part of the nameless exercise?"

Xia Yongchu's eyes flickered, and he took a serious look at her: "Congratulations, you have completed the foundation building in a short period of time without anyone to guide you. You are indeed very talented."

"The little girl's aptitude is blunt, but thanks to the elixir provided by the third master, she was able to get away with it. The little girl is deeply impressed."

"The exercises for Qi training will be placed in the usual place together with the news."

"Yes, the little girl will leave now."

"Go."

Xia Yongchu turned her back, not watching the scene where Liu Yuzhen left.

The woman smiled at Xia Yongchu's back, and disappeared into the bushes after a few ups and downs.

A moment later, from the direction she left, a vigorous, black-striped civet cat with a white background and a body as big as a hound came out, walking lazily and rhythmically.

It walked up to Xia Yongchu, and rubbed Xia Yongchu's trouser legs affectionately.

"It's okay, you don't need to follow her," Xia Yongchu said with a smile, "This is an insecure woman, so don't scare her."

As if speaking to pets, and as if talking to himself, Xia Yongchu said: "Duo Duo, let me tell you, I don't need to master her thoroughly, that's meaningless. As long as she can be used by me, and I will work hard It is enough to create a good situation and let her be used by me willingly."

"This is a woman with a high IQ. Although she doesn't look very good, she has outstanding abilities and wrists. She just hides her clumsiness habitually. If she is willing to do her best for me, I don't have to do many things myself. How much time will you save?"

"So this woman, I am determined to win. If I have to accept her as a concubine to reassure her, I am willing to sacrifice my appearance, haha."

The civet cat "meowed", looking at Xia Yongchu as if acting like a baby.

Xia Yongchu said in embarrassment: "Duo Duo, you are so fat now... no, you are so strong, and you still want to lie on my shoulder? This is impossible, my shoulder will be broken."

"Meow, meow!"

What bad thoughts can kittens have?

"Okay," Xia Yongchu said helplessly, "5 minutes, no, 3 minutes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the civet cat jumped onto his shoulder nimbly.

The civet cat, which is as big as a hound, squats carefully on Xia Yongchu's shoulder, and Xia Yongchu grins his teeth, this scene makes people laugh a bit.

But if you look closely, it's kind of warm.
