Get out of your vicious mother's house, and make a fortune with your husband to become a prince

Chapter 145 I Don't Have Time

When Xue Qing walked in, she saw a burly man with gray hair practicing sword in the yard. This was the first time she saw someone dancing with a sword in this world.

His swordplay was sharp yet flexible. Sometimes he swung his sword like the wind, with the tip of the sword drawing sharp arcs in the air; sometimes he swung his sword slowly like silk, with the blade trembling gently.

The old man was wearing a plain robe and holding a long sword. His figure looked particularly tall in the morning light.

If it weren't for his gray hair, no one would be able to tell that he was an old man.

So I just stood there and watched.

Xie Jiang explained softly, "This is the guest who came yesterday, staying in the No. 1 room."

Xue Zhong put away his sword, took the silk scarf from Gao Yi's hand to wipe the sweat off his face, and slowly walked towards Xue Qing.

"This young man likes swordsmanship."

Now Xue Qing always wears men's clothes when he goes out. He bowed and said, "Old man, you are very good at swordsmanship. This is the first time I see a warrior practicing swordsmanship. It really opens my eyes."

Xue Zhong looked into the boy's eyes and felt a sense of déjà vu, so he asked, "Young man, are you willing to learn swordsmanship?"

Xue Qing smiled slightly: "I'm willing, but I don't have time."

Gao Yi was surprised, thinking that this was a direct rejection of his master. This was probably the first time in his life.

Xie Jiang quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Wu, Shopkeeper Xie is waiting for you in the back hall. I'll take you there."

Xue Zhong laughed and said, "Brother Wu, go and do what you need to do."

Xue Qing also bowed in the same heroic manner, turned around and walked into the back hall.

Xue Zhong watched her enter the room before turning around and going upstairs to wash up.

Half an hour later, Xue Qing came out from the back hall, and when he passed the lobby, he and Jiang Yi left Youran Ju together. They bought gifts on the street and went straight to Cheng Niu's house.

A few days ago, Young Master Cheng sent a message saying that Old Madam Cheng invited Xue Qing to visit the Cheng family. Xue Qing knew that this meant Cheng Niu had returned.

Xue Qing and Jiang Yi came to Cheng Niu's house.

The vermilion door was a bit old, and the steps in front of it were clean and tidy. Jiang Yi went up and knocked gently on the door. After a while, footsteps were heard and the door creaked open. A young girl came out and asked, "Who are you looking for, gentlemen?"

Jiang was stunned. Didn’t Madam Cheng invite us here?

Then I heard Xue Qing say behind me: "Miss, we two are here to pay our respects to Old Madam Cheng."

The girl thought to herself, isn’t she a girl?

"Please come in, gentlemen."

Jiang Yi took a step back, and Xue Qing walked into the gate, with the girl leading the way.

What comes into view is a spacious courtyard, surrounded by green plants, with various flowers planted in the flower beds, and a bluestone-paved path winding and leading to the depths of the house.

On both sides of the house are wing rooms and ear rooms, with a reasonable layout and clear functions. The wing rooms are mostly used as guest rooms or study rooms, while the ear rooms are used as kitchens or utility rooms to meet various needs of daily life.

The whole house is mainly made of wood, and the roof is covered with green tiles, which looks simple and elegant. Under the sunlight, the house exudes a light wood fragrance.

This is my first time visiting a “local”’s home. This is a real ancient building!

The main hall is the core of the house, spacious and bright. The hall is decorated with simple and elegant furniture, exquisite porcelain is placed on the table, and several calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, which are vivid and lively, adding a bit of cultural atmosphere.

It seems that Madam Cheng should be from a scholarly family, but why does Cheng Niu look like a warrior?

"Qing'er" Old Madam Cheng was very enthusiastic and walked over to hold Xue Qing's hand.
