Dou Po: My days as a mentor at Canaan College

Chapter 125 Suspicious Xiao Family Seniors

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! To be honest, I still haven't figured out why the third elder suddenly got so angry just now!"

Under his gaze, Liu Xi waved his hands again and again, and started his routine "improvisation" - pretending to be stupid!
In fact, he is too clear about the details and reasons.

However, at the same time, he also understands the truth that a person who knows too much will inevitably be disliked by others when he sees other people's jokes.

Therefore, pretending to be stupid is definitely a wonderful way to deal with it at this time.

"Some old millet's rotten things, we have almost forgotten all the bones, but there are still people who insist on it..."

The third elder withdrew his gaze from his face, sighed, and continued:
"Forget it, since that person is Xiao Yue, Mr. Liu Xi, if you want to accept him as a student, you can accept it. If you think about it, his life will be much better in the future than it is now."

Unexpectedly for Liu Xi, after pondering for a while, the third elder actually expressed his approval verbally.

Could it be that thinking of Xiao Yue's "situation" in Xiao's family, she broke the pot and smashed it?
Inexplicably, Liu Xi felt that he had had enough of the "colored glasses" these people looked at him!

He suddenly understood why in the TV dramas and novels he watched in his previous life, the protagonists liked to pretend, force, slap their face so much, because sometimes it was really decompressing, very... cool!

"It's just Xiao Yue, our family will arrange another job for her, or reject her original application... After all, she is still young. As for Mr. Liu Xi, if you are short of someone around you, we will Arrange a few more caring servants to serve you..." The third elder said with a stern look.

On the other side, Liu Xi silently waited for him to finish speaking. This time, he did not interrupt him, but waited for his words to fall behind before he said:
"How to deal with Xiao Yue's matter, this is the Xiao family's internal affairs, and I haven't brought it under the family yet, so it is not appropriate to ask, but...cough cough... Regarding the matter of arranging slaves to serve you, this is just... There is no need for it!"

Say it.

He got up slowly, cupped his fist slightly at the third elder, and said:

"Since the matter has been said, I will not bother the third elder to deal with family affairs."

"Hehe, I don't want to disturb you. If you didn't come here today, Mr. Liu Xi, the senior officials of our family would probably have been kept in the dark for a long time about Xiao Yue's matter. When the outsiders found out, we would inevitably make trouble. It's a joke, but if I really want to say it, the old man would like to thank you, Mr. Liu Xi."

The third elder also got up and sent him outside the hall. When he stopped, he changed the subject and said with emotion:
"Mr. Liu Xi, because of family reasons, that girl Xiao Yue must have suffered a lot since she was a child. I hope that she will be with you in the future, so that she can get more thoughtful teaching from you."

Hearing the sound, Liu Xi paused slightly before leaving, then turned around and said:
"Third Elder, don't worry, this time I, Liu Xi, accepting disciples, is definitely no joke!"

As if he knew what he was worried about, and it was rare for him to speak surprisingly euphemistically for the sake of the children of the clan, he simply said it so bluntly to reassure him.

-

at dusk.

For Xiao Yue, the person who arranged the work for her was found out, and there were no less than five people involved in this matter.

On the spot, the third elder sent someone to call the senior officials of the Xiao family.

The high-level people gathered together, and the patriarch Xiao Zhan was furious when he heard about this matter. With the support of the third elder and the rare acquiescence of the first elder and the second elder, he immediately removed the positions of the five people in the family. One is clean, and assigned to the team that often travels back and forth to the Warcraft Mountains.

In fact, Xiao Zhan and others inevitably made a fuss over a molehill in this matter, killing chickens to warn monkeys.

In such a huge clan, there are a lot of people, and the property and land are not small. It is inevitable that there will be conflicts and frictions within the clan. People are selfish. Some people with small powers sometimes put on shoes for the clan's children who had festivals. It's a very normal thing!
However, wearing small shoes is nothing more than targeting, but those few people touched the bottom line of Xiao Zhan and even the old antique elders.

Ordinary family servants and servants are fine, but you arrange the children of the same clan to do those low-status jobs, isn't this hitting the faces of the big guys together?
Not to mention the small layout, there is no brain!

If you don't mess with you, who will you mess with?

At the same time, it also sounded a wake-up call for others in the clan.

In the future, be careful with this kind of thing!
After the matter was dealt with, Xiao Zhan and the three elders dismissed the rest of the people, sat down in the meeting hall, and talked about some other matters.

"Third son, does Liu Xi really want to accept Xiao Yue as a student?"

On the side of Xiao Zhan's left hand, the First Elder gently stroked his long and white beard, and there was a look of suspicion on his old face.

"Third brother, let's give us a general account of what Liu Xi said to you. I always feel that Liu Xi has only come to our Xiao's house for two days, and he proposed to accept apprentices. This matter is a bit weird. Could it be a momentary interest? Looking for something to entertain yourself?"

At the place where the first elder sat opposite, the second elder frowned slightly.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan on the main seat nodded slightly and said:
"What the Second Elder said makes some sense, Third Elder, you can roughly explain what Liu Xi said."

Seeing this, the third elder nodded and spent some time repeating roughly what Liu Xi said after meeting him at noon.

complete.

Except for the third elder, the expressions on the faces of several people in the hall were somewhat "wonderful".

The third elder felt a little baffled, and asked:
"Patriarch, but what's wrong with what I recounted?"

Xiao Zhan glanced at him, and said carefully:
"Liu Xi really told you that Xiao Yue is very fond of him, and wants to take her as a student?"

The third father frowned, pressed both hands on the table, thought it over carefully, and confirmed:
"That's basically what he said."

The voice fell.

Xiao Zhan and the others looked at each other, and finally the Great Elder sighed softly:

"Third son, you shouldn't have agreed to this matter so hastily. I'm afraid that Liu Xi didn't really want to accept apprentices, but had other ideas. To the fire pit!"

"Push into the fire pit?"

The third elder was uncertain, his face gradually became serious, and said:

"Is it so serious? I also have good intentions, thinking that because of what happened to her father in the past, Xiao Yue has been excluded in the family life these years, and it is not easy. Thinking that if she worships Liu Xi as her teacher, her situation may be different. After getting some improvement, why did you push her into the fire pit?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the First Elder looked at each other, knowing that the Third Elder hadn't understood yet, so he hesitated to speak.

At this time, the Second Elder on the other side couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded:

"Third brother, take a good look at Liu Xi's words!"

The third elder frowned.

Liu Xi's words?
That sentence is simple and clear, no problem?

It means wanting to accept apprentices... huh?Very much to his liking...

appetite……

Suddenly, the third elder glared, and shouted:
"Then... the willow mat is so bad?!"
