At noon.

After Luo Qingzhou had lunch with Miss Qin, he went to the Immortal Residence.

He decided to spend half an hour reading.

The remaining time is used to practice inner strength and mental methods.

Because his home was not soundproofed and he was afraid of damaging the house, he did not practice the "Vajra Explosive Fist" he just got from the sect.

As for the Nine Sticks of the Ox Demon, he decided to wait until Sister Yue came in the evening before practicing to avoid making mistakes.

After all, it is a demon clan technique, and it is his first time to practice stick technique.

If someone guides you, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Judging from Sister Yue's proficient understanding of this set of stick techniques last night, the opponent should not only have cultivated the soul, but also what state the physical body has reached.

"Sincerity and sincerity are called nature. Self-clarity and sincerity are called teaching. Sincerity means understanding, and understanding means sincerity..."

In the study room, the sound of reading could be heard loudly.

Xiaodie sat on the corridor, quietly embroidering flowers, and always paying attention to whether any annoying sparrows came down to make noise.

The snow finally stopped, and there was a vast expanse of white everywhere.

There was still thick snow piled on the trees in the courtyard, and crystal clear icicles hung from the eaves.

The sun is still hiding behind the clouds.

It was freezing cold and the whole house was completely silent.

On the streets of Kyoto, whether in the outer city or the inner city, there are more and more pedestrians.

In addition to the people of Dayan, there are also many tourists from neighboring countries.

Various merchants have also prepared New Year's goods in advance, and festive lanterns have been hung in front of some shops in advance.

In the palace, preparations are also being made for the Taikang Grand Meeting held every three years in Dayan.

This superficial prosperity and liveliness is concealing the turbulent undercurrents of the Great Yan Empire.

The princes and kings from all over the country returned to Beijing one after another after watching for a while.

To the relief of all the people, the eldest princess, who was leading troops at the border, was also on her way back to Kyoto.

So the original rumors were self-destructed.

But for some, they are disappointed.

In the palace, people died for two consecutive days.

A young eunuch and a palace maid were beaten to death by him because they didn't know what happened to anger Nangong Yang.

The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this and went to her palace to reprimand him personally.

Nangong Yang apologized sincerely.

The matter was dropped and was not reported to the outside world.

Of course, except for the two dead servants, this is a trivial matter for anyone.

at dusk.

The sun parted the clouds, revealing a red face.

Golden light fell into the small courtyard, dispelling some of the haze and cold.

Xiaodie got up from the corridor, stretched, and walked into the small courtyard. Bathed in the sunshine, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

"The sky is finally going to clear up."

She murmured.

But she also knew that in this season, the sunny weather could not last long.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

In the back garden.

Luo Qingzhou was holding the dark wooden stick and practicing the stick technique.

Because he was afraid of too much movement, he did not use his internal strength, but was slowly mastering the moves, lest Sister Yue came tonight and he still didn't know anything, wasting time.

When the sun was about to set, he put away his stick and went to the front yard.

In the front yard, Xiaodie was holding a broom and sweeping the snow on the bluestone floor. Her tired little face was pink and her forehead was covered with sweat.

Luo Qingzhou hugged her and kissed her, and said: "Why are you sweeping the snow? If you have nothing to do, go and play with Xiao Tao. Young Master doesn't need you to guard him here."

Xiaodie wiped the sweat from her forehead and said: "That's not possible. What if the young master is thirsty? No one pours tea or water. What if the young master is hungry? No one brings snacks or fruits. What if someone breaks in suddenly?

What to do? No one is stopping me. The role of slaves is very important."

Luo Qingzhou nodded and agreed: "That's right. What if I suddenly think about it? Xiaodie is proficient in various martial arts."

The little girl suddenly blushed and said, "Master..."

When the two returned to Meixiang Garden, it was already dark.

When Luo Qingzhou was about to have dinner with Second Miss Qin in the study, Meier suddenly rushed over and said, "Uncle, Second Miss, the eldest son is back. The master and his wife are calling you over."

Miss Qin suddenly said with joy on her face: "Is the eldest brother back? Where is the second brother?"

Mei'er said: "Only the eldest son is back."

Second Miss Qin, being served by Qiu'er, was wearing a thick fox fur coat and frowned slightly: "Why is the eldest brother back at this time...Did something happen in the college?"

The two of them quickly walked out of the door and came to the front hall.

In the hall, Qin Lang, dressed in blue, was asking about the recent situation at home.

Qin Wenzheng sat on a chair, holding a tea cup and did not speak.

Song Ruyue was beside her, talking proudly about the recent store business.

After hearing this, Qin Lang said seriously: "Mother, you can make money by doing business, but you must not be opportunistic and do things that benefit yourself at the expense of others, let alone violate the regulations and disregard the law."

Qin Wenzheng suddenly frowned and said: "Lang'er, do you think we are that kind of people? Don't you understand your mother? Can she do such a thing?"

At this point, for some reason, he suddenly became angry again and said with a stern face: "Even if we did that, it wouldn't be your turn to teach us a lesson."

Seeing that he was angry, Qin Lang apologized quickly: "Dad, I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you. When I come back tonight, I have something happy to tell you."

At this time, Luo Qingzhou helped Miss Qin come in from the outside.

Miss Qin Er said with a smile: "Brother, what kind of happy event are you coming back in such a hurry?"

Qin Lang turned his head and looked at them.

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and saluted: "Brother."

Qin Lang nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "Eat first, let's chat while eating."

In the dining room next to it, the maids have already served a table full of exquisite dishes.

The heat is thick and the fragrance is wafting.

The family came to the table and sat down one by one.

Song Ruyue couldn't wait to ask: "Lang'er, what's the good news? Did you win an award in the academy? Or has there been another breakthrough in your practice?"

Qin Wenzheng also looked at the eldest son in front of him seriously.

With a smile on his face, Qin Lang picked up the flask, poured a glass of wine for everyone, and said, "By the way, why didn't Jian Jia come?"

Song Ruyue sighed: "I just asked Mei'er to call, and Mei'er said she was unwell and was resting."

Qin Lang frowned slightly and said: "Jianjia stays at home all day without going out or talking to anyone, and her body will only get weaker and weaker. Dad and mother, we still have to find a way to let her go out more. If you can make a few

Friends would be better.”

Song Ruyue said helplessly: "My mother thinks so too. Every day she goes to the store, and I wanted to take her to the inner city to play with her, but that girl is very stubborn and won't go out at all. There's nothing I can do about it."

ah."

Miss Qin Er said softly: "Brother, sister is fine now, don't worry. Tell us the good news you just said, Weimo can't wait."

Qin Lang then remembered the business, looked at a few people with a smile, sat down, and said: "Yesterday I entered the palace. The Holy Emperor personally sent someone to the academy to announce my entry into the palace. After talking with me for a long time, he immediately named me the Imperial Guard.

Commander. The Holy One said that as long as I perform well, once I graduate from the academy next year, I can officially become the Commander of the Imperial Guard. By then, if I perform more meritorious services for the Holy One, I might have the opportunity to lead troops on an expedition and revive my

The glory of the Qin family!"

After he finished speaking, I thought everyone would be very excited and happy to congratulate him, but suddenly I found that the table suddenly became silent.

Qin Lang felt that the atmosphere was not right, and everyone's expressions were also wrong. He was startled and asked in confusion: "Dad, mother, Wei Mo, what's wrong?"

Qin Wenzheng looked at him again, said nothing, lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Song Ruyue looked ugly, hesitating, and finally couldn't help but said: "Lang'er, can you not be the commander of the Jin Yiwei?"

Qin Lang frowned and asked: "Mother, why?"
