Father's love is like a mountain

Chapter 179 Brotherly Conflict
Xia Qixi only met his eldest brother after the welcome banquet at night.

"I'm sorry, because there was some conflict with Jiang Guo in the north, the emperor left me to consult in the palace, and he didn't let me go until just now." Xia Qilie hurriedly hugged Xia Qixi, then pushed him away, looked at him by the shoulder for a while, and then nodded Said, "You look good, and you've grown taller, and you're a man now."

Xia Qixi felt very strange to this bearded, young, majestic, and obviously very strong elder brother.

I always feel that my eldest brother has changed a lot.

Panpan can accept changes. Little girls have to grow up.

But the young man who tried hard to pretend to be an old man back then is really old and majestic now, and he finds it hard to accept.

The most important thing is the strong tone of the big brother, and the scrutiny of the eyes, so that he couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother, you are my brother, not my father, please don't talk to me in a father's tone."

Xia Qilie put away his smile, squinted at Xia Qixi, and said in a calm tone, "Elder brother is like a father. If dad is not here, I will take care of you for dad. What's wrong?"

The fire in Xia Qixi's stomach suddenly came up, and he squinted, "Do not care about me? After throwing me in that poor country for seven years, you are the only way to control me? You are just taking care of me for father? That's okay, it's a matter of the past. Don't mention it, I was young in the past. Why do you control me now? Because you are the regent? En?"

"Okay, okay," Feng Jin, who is a mother, saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly smoothed things over, "Ah Xi must be tired after driving for so long, go down and rest quickly. Ariel, there is a cultivation practice with Aunt Liu. I want to ask you a question above, so go over there."

Xia Qilie smiled: "Understood. Axi, you just came back today, I shouldn't say harsh words, you should rest first, and we can talk another day."

Xia Qixi rolled his eyes and said to himself, who wants to chat with you?

Back then, that friendly elder brother who always protected me and found me delicious and interesting things, I am afraid that he will never come back again.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sentimental.

Seeing Xia Qixi turn and leave, Xia Qilie sighed.

That smart and cute little brother back then, I'm afraid he will never come back.

When Xia Qixi walked away, Xia Qilie sat down, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at his mother, "Ah Xi is not young anymore. Besides, he doesn't practice very hard, so far he has barely entered the early stage of Qi training. In the Huaming School, He caused another catastrophe, and the head of Qu did not beat him to death because of Brother Wen and Sister Lan."

The wind trembled.

Xia Qilie said: "If you don't want him to make more troubles, from now on, you must discipline him strictly. Father is not at home, I will take care of all the affairs of the Xia residence, and the second brother is no exception. Next time I will When it comes to disciplining him, I hope my mother will stand by my side."

After all, Feng Jin came from a scholarly family, and she is very used to the big feudal family. She has no objection, but she feels sorry for her youngest son. She sighed softly: "You are brothers after all, be more tolerant of him."

Xia Qilie said with a smile: "I just wish him well. Mother, you can go and find out. If you have a good daughter from a suitable family, you might as well pay attention to it for Axi."

Feng Yu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My sister and I have been paying attention for a long time. But Axi is a practitioner after all, and maybe he doesn't want to marry an ordinary woman."

"Whether he wants to or not, let's try it for now," Xia Qilie said lightly, "There must be someone who can help him calm down."

No one objected to this.

They have all heard about the deeds of the second young master of the Xia Mansion.

If you don't want this child to go astray, you should discipline him strictly.

Moreover, Xia Qilie said this in his elder brother's capacity, it is also very appropriate.

It is in line with the core values ​​of feudal society.

In the backyard, Xia Qixi sneered: Want to introduce a girl to me?That's fine, as long as you are pretty, I'll eat one if you come, and it's fine to get married.I am determined to run, who can catch up with me?

"Master," the maid next to her blushed, her eyes like autumn water seemed to be glued to Xia Qixi's body, "I heard that you have gone to learn the magic of immortality these past few years, is it true?"

Xia Qixi chuckled, and took her little hand, "It's true, come to my room tonight, and I'll let you see the fairy art, okay?"

The servant girl's pretty face blushed as if she was about to bleed, she couldn't contain her shame.

She told herself that if she wants to refuse, she must refuse. A good girl cannot go to the second young master's room at night, and she is not a maid in the second young master's room... But her body involuntarily made the opposite move, and reversed Xia Qixi's hand. Hold tight.

~~~~
The return of the second young master of the Xia Mansion set off a whirlwind in the capital of Chu State.

The Xia Mansion is one of the largest and most popular families in the capital, even higher in status than the Prince Regent's Mansion—yes, in people's minds, the Xia Mansion and the Prince Regent's Mansion are not one, and Xia Qilie is equivalent to pulling out an independent family.

Although the Xia Mansion strongly supported him because of their blood relationship, the Xia Mansion and the Prince Regent's Mansion must not be regarded as one.

The person who is in charge of the Xia mansion is the third master Xia who has disappeared for ten years and is said to have gone out to wander in search of immortals.

This is an irrefutable fact!
Everyone guessed that because Xia Qilie came out to become an independent family, and the Prince Regent's Mansion was heavily infiltrated by the royal family, the huge foundation of the Xia Mansion probably fell on Xia Qixi, the second young master of the Xia Mansion.

This is the second young master who is a direct relative of the head of the Xia Mansion, born to Xia Qilie's mother, and has an extremely high inheritance right to the Xia Mansion!

And this second young master, handsome as a banished immortal, strong in martial arts, brilliant in writing, has done several major things in just a few days after returning to Beijing: together with the prince of Beishan, he beat up dozens of other noble sons; On the day the oiran Ronghua came out of the cabinet, he sold a thousand taels of silver, and the export was successful, which touched the heart of the oiran, and became the guest of the oiran; at the poetry meeting organized by Ling Yin's granddaughter, he wrote a wonderful poem "Huanxisha" that is well-known , It is said that the granddaughter of this massacre sat in the boudoir, wrote the name "Xia Qixi" hundreds of times, couldn't sleep at night, and declared that she would not marry unless she was a king.

These stories added a bit of magic to Xia Qixi.

For a moment, the people who came to ask for a marriage almost stepped on the threshold of Xia Mansion.

Although he sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows, this is somewhat criticized, but who doesn't have a flirtatious young man?

And he just spent money for fun, and he didn't redeem the oiran, didn't marry back as a concubine or keep him in an outer room, and he went to visit twice and never looked back.

This is very much in line with the values ​​of feudal society and the values ​​of literati and bureaucrats.

this day.

Xia Qixi came back very late, with the smell of incense on his body, smiling all over his face, and when he got back to the yard, he asked the kitchen to prepare some small dishes for him, warmed a pot of wine, and sat in the yard to enjoy the flowers and drink.

"Master, the regent is here, and I'm asking if it's convenient for you to see him." The little maid came over to report.

Xia Qixi touched her hand, and said with a smirk: "My brother wants to see me, why don't you tell me, just let him in."

The little servant girl blushed, but she said seriously: "That's different, the Prince Regent has already separated. Although he is not an outsider, he is not a member of the house after all."

Xia Qixi was thoughtful.

After a while, Xia Qilie strode in, nodded to Xia Qixi, and without waiting for a greeting, he waved his sleeve and a stone flew over from the rockery.

Xia Qilie sat on the rock, poured wine for himself, clinked glasses with Xia Qixi, and said with a smile, "Ah Xi, this is the first time our brothers have had a drink. I remember when you were young, you once stole the good wine hidden by your father and wanted to find me Let’s drink together, but I won’t let you drink until you grow up.”

"I still remember." Xia Qixi also smiled, "You are young and mature, and you always like to control me."

"It's a pity that I didn't find the opportunity until today. Come, I respect you for this cup. I must have suffered a lot of grievances when I was studying abroad alone these years. Brother Wen and Sister Lan told me that you were squeezed out as soon as you went, and you ate a lot. Bitter." Xia Qilie picked up his wine glass and drank it down.

Xia Qixi finished his drink sullenly, put down his glass, and remained silent.

"Why, not happy?"

Xia Qixi looked up at his elder brother, "Why do you have to send me away? The exercises handed down in our family are not inferior to those of the Huaming School, or even better. Gong', which can condense 4 gongs and 8 sha at most, can only be regarded as a lower-grade kung fu method of the yellow level. And the Changchun kung fu handed down by our family can only be regarded as a yellow-level kungfu, although the cultivation speed is slow and the grade is not high, but it can condense 6 gongs. 12 evil spirits can be regarded as the middle grade of the yellow class. If there is a part after the golden core, I am afraid that it can enter the mysterious class, and the future is far beyond the "Mingyu Gong" of the Huaming sect. Besides, if you are doing it for my own good, why don't you give it away? I go to Yunlu Sect? With my aptitude, even if it is the number one sect in the world, Yunlu Sect, I can still be regarded as a proud Taoist."

Xia Qilie frowned.

He has been in power for these years, and he is decisive in killing and attacking. When he becomes serious, ordinary martial arts masters can't stand it. The little maids and servants in the family will break out in cold sweat from fright, and they can't even stand upright.

Xia Qixi dismissed it, "You want to hit me? Can you beat me now?"

"You are just a beginner in Qi training. I have already condensed it several years ago. I really don't know where I got the confidence to say that I can't beat you? I can suppress you with one hand." Xia Qilie said in a deep voice.

Xia Qixi opened his mouth to speak, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back, thinking that this is not the time yet.

When the time comes, I will let you taste the feeling of being slapped in the face.

Xia Qilie naturally didn't know, his younger brother was thinking about how to slap him in the face.

He continued: "I regret it. I shouldn't have brought you to the capital at that time. Auntie, Sister Zhi and Brother Wu didn't come with me, and I was very busy, and my mother was also busy managing family affairs. You were neglected and lawless in the capital. If you don't strictly discipline, even if you don't cause a big disaster, you will ruin yourself."

"Besides, the Huaming Sect is also a first-class sect in the world, and there are Sister Lan and Brother Wen taking care of you. How could you really be wronged? It's not you, who is not stable enough, causing trouble everywhere, and making the elders of the sect treat you badly." Complaints! When your father was around, he gave you so many elixirs, and your aptitude is enough to be called the top, but how did you cultivate? It’s only been 7 years, and you’re just a beginner in Qi training! I’m very disappointed in you!”

The more Xia Qilie spoke, the more excited he became.

Xia Qixi wanted to refute at first, but then he just sneered and shook his head.

"Forget it, forget it, you're right, big brother, you're always right, I'm just a worthless younger brother, that's fine," after Xia Qilie finished speaking, Xia Qixi leaned lazily on the chair and waved his hand, "Please don't talk to me. I, a worthless person, have spoken, okay?"

Xia Qilie was so angry that he slapped the thin celadon wine glass into the small rosewood table.

Xia Qixi was stunned for a moment, this move was very skillful in movement, and even made him a little confused, whether it was martial arts or a magic effect.

"Axi, it's time to wake up. You are not a child anymore. How are you and the granddaughter of Ling Yin Mizhou? It is said that you have been in close contact these days. If you feel good, you might as well marry her. But I warn you , if you don't want to marry her, don't destroy her chastity!"

Xia Qixi felt amused, "It's just for fun, you really plan to let me marry? Let me marry a mortal woman? Brother, what do you think?"

Xia Qilie said in a deep voice: "This is not for you to play with. If you play with her, I will be very passive. The situation in Chu State may be corrupted!"

"Aren't you a gangsha cultivator full of bullshit? You are still afraid of them. You can slaughter this capital by yourself. Do you need to be so careful?" Xia Qixi said lazily.

"Nonsense. This is governing the country, how can violence be used indiscriminately."

"That's not what you said when you killed the third prince."

Xia Qilie didn't deny it, but frowned again, "I have a new understanding of how ignorant you are. No wonder you made such a big mistake in Huaming Sect and were kicked out."

Xia Qixi opened his mouth to argue, thought for a while and then shook his head: "You can say whatever you want."

He felt disheartened for a while.

Even my closest relatives don't believe me...

It's not because of you that I've gotten to this point today?
Regardless of my feelings, send me to that deserted and lonely place.

How many people would regard me as a threat and a thorn in their side for asking me to worship Master Qu as their teacher?

There are also Sister Lan and Brother Wen, they are taking care of me, but they also have many enemies, their enemies dare not deal with them, they all come against me!

I'm easy!
There is no reason to be framed!

And the person who should believe me the most, doesn't believe me at all, not at all!

At this moment, Xia Qixi even felt like breaking the can.

Yes, I am indeed a little naughty, a little troublesome, have a bad temper, and easily offend people.

But how could I do such a thing!

Can't you trust me just once!

Xia Qilie also realized that the current Xia Qixi couldn't listen to him at all.

After a moment of silence, Xia Qilie sighed: "Maybe I was a little impatient and didn't pay attention to what I said. Can you accept it? How about it, in a few days, when I'm free, let's have a long talk with brothers, okay?"

Xia Qixi sneered and said, "No need. Aren't you just worried that I've played with Ling Yin's granddaughter and made you politically difficult? Don't worry, I won't go to her again. You don't have to think about getting married to me, this is It is impossible, I will not obediently let you manipulate me."

"Mother picked girls from good families for you, all of them are pretty and well-educated, you can think about it seriously."

Xia Qixi pushed the table, "It's not speculative. Let's go!"

Xia Qilie looked at his receding back, his eyes full of helplessness.

Daddy, how nice would it be if you were here?
