The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 124: Small officials should take it easy

"Seeing that the prince's bride turned out to be Snow White, the queen was so angry that she fainted and fell ill. Soon she died of jealousy, pain, and resentment. From then on, the prince and princess lived happily together."

Zhu Xiu picked up the tea cup and drank a few sips, feeling very satisfied with the story he told.

There was no response from the bed. Zhu Xiu turned around in confusion and saw Shi Lingyan's head falling outside the pillow, one arm and one leg resting on the edge of the bed. His mouth was slightly open and he was sleeping soundly.

She was wearing a moon-white dress, revealing her tight and well-proportioned belly, and her legs under her hakama also looked slender and toned.

It's just that this sleeping position doesn't look like a serious person at first glance.

"Bang bang~" Zhu Xiu put down the tea cup and banged the table hard, saying dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey~ wake up~"

"Ah?" Shi Lingyan woke up in a daze and wiped his mouth subconsciously, "Have you eaten?"

"What the hell!" Zhu Xiu scolded angrily, "You asked me to tell the story. I told the story, but every time you fall asleep before half of it. Can you respect the fruits of my labor?"

Shi Lingyan stretched her waist, and the wound on her shoulder still stung a little, making her little face wrinkle into a bitter melon.

"It's not that I don't want to hear it, it's just that the stories you tell are not funny and are just to coax children." The little girl retorted angrily.

"Hey~" Zhu Xiu looked disdainful, "Why are you pretending to be mature in this movie, little girl! I don't think you even listened!"

"Hmph!~ I can hear you even if I'm asleep! It's just that the story you made up is not fun and I don't want to hear it!" Shi Lingyan sat on the head of the bed, his feet dangling restlessly.

"Hey~ Then tell me a fun story!" Zhu Xiu curled her lips, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Shi Lingyan tilted his head and thought for a moment, his round black eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "If I were a princess, I would not let the queen bully me! I have to practice martial arts since I was a child. Anyone who dares to bully me will be whipped hard. Whip her!"

Shi Lingyan gestured with his uninjured arm.

"Pfft~" Zhu Xiu squirted out a mouthful of tea, dumbfounded: "What if the king doesn't care about you, no one teaches you martial arts, and the queen bullies you for being young and throws you into the dark forest?"

Shi Lingyan blinked his eyes, waved his fist and said: "Yes! I will find a way to survive first and find those seven dwarfs! They are gold mines, they must be rich! I will make them generals and let them help I will recruit soldiers and horses, and hire some martial arts masters to teach me how to practice martial arts. When I grow up, I will ask the queen to raise an army to investigate the crime!"

Zhu Xiu swallowed her saliva and murmured: "What about the prince?"

Shi Lingyan said nonchalantly: "What do you want him to do! When I become the queen, I will capture him. If he is good-looking, let him stay as a bed-warming slave."

Zhu Xiu's forehead was full of black lines, and she rolled her eyes. She didn't know what this girl had been listening to from the storyteller on weekdays. How could her thoughts be so clear?

"But the queen's magic mirror is quite interesting. If she is willing to give it to me, she might be able to save her life." Shi Lingyan added with a smile.

Zhu Xiu was speechless, shook her head and drank tea by herself.

"Zhu Xiu" Shi Lingyan's round eyes revealed cunning.

"What's the matter?"

"Who do you think is the most beautiful woman?" Shi Lingyan smiled like a flower.

Zhu Xiu snorted coldly: "Don't ask, it's not you anyway."

"."

Shi Lingyan took out his long whip and flicked it like a magic trick. The whip sprang out like a snake, wrapped around Zhu Xiu's waist, and pulled him hard, pulling him close and throwing him down on the bed.

Shi Lingyan kicked him hard on the buttocks and yelled: "Begging for a beating!"

"Oops~"

"Crackling~"

The sound of boys and girls laughing and cursing came from the bedroom.

At the door of the house, Ma Qing supported Shi Kuangwei on crutches and walked slowly over.

Ma Qing was about to knock on the door when Shi Kuangwei heard the noise coming from the bedroom. His eyes widened and he raised his hand to stop him: "Wait!" Ma Qing blinked and looked at it, and whispered: "Handsome Master."

Shi Kuangwei listened for a while, his face turned green and red, he bent down and hit the ground hard with his cane, sighing: "Young women are not allowed to stay in college, alas~ alas~"

It seemed that there was a voice that was both angry and happy coming from the house. The more he listened, the more embarrassed he became. Shi Kuangwei shook his head and said with a dark face: "You wait here, wait for the little bastard to come out, and let him slip away." Come see me!”

"Hey~ The villain knows!" Ma Qing responded quickly.

Shi Kuangwei walked out of the courtyard with a cane, shaking his head and sighing. His rickety back looked extremely lonely, which fully demonstrated the complicated mood of an old father when he learned that the cabbage he had raised since childhood was raped by a pig.

"Handsome, be careful where you step and take it easy!" Ma Qing reminded in a low voice, his big face couldn't help showing a festive smile.

Ma Qing was naturally happy to see some inappropriate noises coming out of the bedroom.

If a junior official becomes Shi Jieshuai's son-in-law and Zhang Yijun's uncle, his status will be more stable in the future.

Ma Qing hummed a little tune and squatted at the door of the courtyard with his sleeves folded, staying far away from the bedroom to avoid the officials scolding him for digging up the wall.

About half an hour later, Zhu Xiu opened the door and walked out refreshed.

Looking back at Shi Lingyan, who was huddled in the corner of the bed with his head covered by the mattress, Zhu Xiu smiled proudly.

Little girl, I can't cure you yet!
Shi Lingyan threatened him in every possible way to tell another interesting story. Zhu Xiu racked his brains and finally came up with a plan.

He imitated Zhang Zhen's accent and told a story about a corpse in a Chinese studio, which immediately frightened Shi Lingyan.

It's a pity that there is no soundtrack, otherwise it would definitely give the little girl a nightmare tonight.

Zhu Xiu closed the door, cut her back and hummed a tune with her hands, preparing to go back to her own courtyard to rest.

"Ma Qing, why are you here?" Ma Qing appeared just outside the hospital. Seeing his big face, Zhu Xiu couldn't stop laughing and felt a little weird.

"Miss Yan is asleep?" Ma Qing looked furtively into the bedroom.

Zhu Xiu said casually: "I didn't sleep. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to get out of bed with my head covered."

"Hiss~" Ma Qing took a breath and glanced at Zhu Xiu's lower body unconsciously, with a hint of suspicion in his lewd expression.

"Huh?" Zhu Xiu looked suspicious and slightly unhappy.

Ma Qing hurriedly laughed a few times and warned with caution: "Young official, I am not a mean person who talks too much. It's just that you should take your time on some things. Don't be hasty! After all, you haven't passed the six rites yet, so it's not etiquette! What if? Once we have it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Shi Jieshuai."

"What five etiquettes and six etiquettes? What's the point? It's a mess, I don't know what it means!" Zhu Xiu didn't understand for a while, shook his sleeves and glared at him angrily.

Telling a ghost story to scare a little girl has something to do with etiquette?

Ma Qing thought Zhu Xiu was being thin-skinned and pretending to be confused about this kind of thing, so he chuckled a few times and stopped.

"By the way, old horse." Zhu Xiu stopped, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Did Wei Hu make any changes during this time?"

Ma Qing hurriedly whispered: "Everything is as usual, nothing unusual can be seen. Wei Yashuai has done his best to complete all the things that the officials have asked him to do. He will go to the back house to visit the handsome master every two days and accompany him. say something."

"Yeah." Zhu Xiu frowned and nodded, "In this case, I'm afraid I'm wrongly blaming Brother Wei."

Ma Qing said: "Don't worry, little official, the villain will keep an eye on him in the future. If there is any trouble, I can't hide it from the villain's eyes!"

"Very good, thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Xiu gave verbal praise.

"The handsome man came here just now. Let the little official go see him after he is done." Ma Qing reminded quickly.

Zhu Xiu yawned and rubbed her waist: "I understand. Go get some food and deliver it to the back house. I've been busy all afternoon and I'm really hungry."

"Young man, let's go now!" Ma Qing hurriedly went to make arrangements, shook his head and murmured in his heart, the young official is still young, so he can't mess around. Tomorrow, he will ask the doctor to take some tonics to recuperate the young official.
