Hearing Miao Wan'er say this,
Ma Nanfeng and Miao Yunhu couldn't help but look at each other, and then they both started thinking.
After a moment, Ma Nanfeng gritted his teeth, nodded suddenly and said:
"As long as we can really do it this time, Wan'er can be like that Huang Yun'er and follow Mr. Sima Dongming. Learn chess skills from him, take good care of Mr. Sima Dongming, and build a good relationship with him. Then your father's official position will definitely rise! Even compared to several of your uncles, I will definitely not be inferior!
If I can do this, not to mention that it may cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to acquire sixty or seventy pieces of rare jade, even if I can do this! Ma Nanfeng will definitely not feel bad if she spends all her family’s savings! This kind of investment can definitely make a profit of ten times or even a hundred times!”
Miao Yunhu, who was next to him, frowned when he heard this.
According to his character, he was actually not very willing to curry favor with powerful people. Even his wife Ma Nanfeng, who had an extraordinary status, did not take the initiative to make friends with him. ! However, after being married for more than 20 years, because he could not get promoted in the official position, he had to face Ma Nanfeng's cynicism every day, which was really unbearable!
After a few breaths of silence, Miao Yunhu frowned and said, "If Wan'er can really be like that Huang Yun'er, and can learn chess skills and the principles of doing things from Mr. Sima Dongming, then naturally It's very good! But Wan'er, are you sure to collect this? After giving these treasures to that Huang Yun'er, can you really do this? What if he refuses? Wouldn't it be a waste of tens of thousands of taels of silver and most of our Miao family's wealth?"
Ma Nanfeng! Hearing this, he couldn't help but glared at Miao Yunhu and said coldly: "How will you know the result if you don't strive for it? What's more, if you want to live better than others in this troubled world, and if you want to live steadily, you must reach a higher position. Otherwise, it won't go too far. thing, if the army of the Ai tribe attacks Qingyuan City one day, what will happen to you? The directors of each inspection bureau may be transferred to guard Qingyuan City. What will happen to you then? Will our whole family survive? "
See you at Miao Yun Lake! Seeing that Ma Nanfeng looked a little angry, she immediately sighed and stopped talking.
Miao Waner walked to Miao Yunhu and comforted her: "Father, don't worry. Although I am not Huang Yuner's best friend, I have met him a few times, and I can be considered a friend with whom I can talk a few words." , if we really prepare a generous gift this time and just ask me to follow Huang Yun'er and learn chess skills from Mr. Sima Dongming, there shouldn't be much problem! I am at least 70% to 80% sure! "
"Okay, since we are so sure, let's do it! "
Ma Nanfeng ignored Miao Yunhu and settled the matter directly.
Miao Wan'er looked at her father and said softly: "My father has always had a upright character, and he is gentle and kind. Wan'er knows it, but this time Wan'er's idea is not to ask her father to flatter her, but for her daughter to work for Mr. Sima! Father, you don’t have to be in a bad mood! "
Miao Yunhu sighed when he heard this, and said: "Forget it, since your mother has already decided this matter, then it is settled! I still have some important cases from the inspection bureau to handle, so I won’t waste time here! ”
Having said this, he seemed to have thought of something, looked at his daughter Miao Waner, and continued: "By the way, I have been involved in a lot of things these past two days, and I can't spare any time to see how Lin Qiang lives there. So, if you are free today, go to the side courtyard to visit Lin Qiang on behalf of your father!"
After Miao Yunhu finished speaking, before Miao Waner could speak, Ma Nanfeng sneered and said: "Hmph, are you busy? Are you still busy paying attention to that boy named Lin Qiang?
You have repeatedly praised Lin Qiang in front of me for his excellent virtues, great ambitions, and military strategies. As a result, after he moved into the side courtyard, not only did he not think about his dead relatives, parents and family members, nor did he read any art of war or classics, but he asked Miao early this morning. Youren took him to Qingshui River for fishing!
In my opinion, this Lin Qiang doesn’t say anything about being ambitious or having a strategy and a lot of knowledge. He is the most basic human being. Forget about it! Not only did I not miss my hometown or my parents at all, but I just started fishing and enjoying myself!
Huh, I remember you and I when Wan'er was young. I mentioned once that I wanted to arrange a baby marriage with the Lin family. When Lin Qiang and Wan'er grow up, they will get married! Haha, luckily I held on and didn't agree with what you said. Otherwise, how talented and smart our Wan'er is, wouldn't it be a lifetime of misfortune if she married such an ignorant guy who only knows how to have fun all day long?"
Hearing this, Miao Yunhu couldn't help but frowned tightly, and said in a deep voice: "I can listen to you on other matters, but Lin Qiang is the descendant of my best friend and sworn brother. Now his family is ruined, not hundreds of miles away." After escaping to Qingyuan City, I will take good care of him no matter what! As for what you said about him going fishing early this morning, how do you know that Lin Qiang has no parents and family in his heart, and there is no sorrow in his heart? Maybe he is because of extreme I went to the river to fish in order to relieve my emotions."
Hearing this, Ma Nanfeng immediately sneered again, "What a way to ease my emotions, Miaoyun Lake, Miaoyun Lake, everything has been settled! Now that you are still protecting Lin Qiang, do you really plan to keep your so-called best friend at home?
I also heard that after this Lin Qiang came to our Miao family, , you actually set his monthly salary to the same standard as Wan'er! Humph, in my opinion, even if you spend thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver on him, it's just a piece of cake. There is no reply!"
A look of disgust appeared in her eyes, and then she walked outside, "I will arrange the purchase of various rare jade stones, and please remember Miaoyun Lake. , you don’t want to hear me tell the truth, you don’t want to Listen to me belittling that Lin Qiang, then don't mention that Lin Qiang in front of me in the future, let alone talk nonsense about wanting Wan'er to be with him in the future! I can't see a guy like Lin Qiang who has developed the habit of being a playboy. Think carefully about his future role for the Miao family!"
After saying that, the 'real owner' of the Miao family, Ma Nanfeng, walked outside and ignored her husband Miao Yunhu. !
After Ma Nanfeng's footsteps went away, there was a "clucking" sound around the small door of the secret room, and the small door had closed automatically!
Miao Waner looked at her father and whispered: "Don't worry, Father. Aren't you just worried that Lin Qiang won't get used to living here! I'll sneak over there without telling my mother." That's it! But there is one thing that the daughter should make clear to her father, that is, freedom of marriage is now emphasized. You, please don't keep talking about the baby's marriage and the parents' orders to match the matchmaker. From now on, Wan'er The daughter has her own ideas about who she likes and who she wants to marry!
As for whether Lin Qiang has both ability and political integrity, whether he has a strategic mind and whether he is outstanding, it has nothing to do with whether his daughter likes him or not!"
< br>Seeing what Miao Wan'er said, Miao Yunhu shook his head slightly and said: "That Lin Qiang, I have seen him since he was a child, I know him very well, and I also know how outstanding, loyal and honest he is. If you are like this, forget it, I I know that your mind has been as high as the sky since you were a child, and your knowledge and knowledge are even broader and deeper than your two brothers! With your temperament, you should make the decision on your marriage. I will definitely do it in the future. I won't force you to marry anyone!" After saying this, Miao Yunhu paused, took out a shell gun and a box of bullets from his arms, and handed them to Miao Waner, "At this time today, Lin Qiang hasn't come back yet. My side You are busy with official duties, and you may not be able to go home for a few days! When you go to visit Lin Qiang, give him this pistol and these bullets! Although Qingyuan City is safer than other places, murder cases often occur. , maybe Lin Qiang will encounter some danger when he goes out. Having this fine pistol made by Beijiang Country will make him extra safe!"
Miao Waner took the shell gun, glanced at her father, and curled her lips, "Father, you really prefer this Lin Qiang. This well-made pistol, when my elder brother was at home last year, he wanted to ask for it from you. Yes, you didn't give it to my eldest brother, but now you want to give it to that Lin Qiang! I heard eldest brother say, In the black market in Jizhou, this well-made pistol is worth at least two to three hundred taels of silver, or a thousand oceans! Wow, it’s so biased!”
Miao Yunhu said, He was speechless for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Lin only has this one descendant left now. Now he has defected to When he comes to my place, if I can't protect him, I will destroy Brother Lin's spirit in heaven, and I will be troubled for the rest of my life!"
Seeing her father being so serious, Miao Wan'er sighed, "Okay, okay, it's just a joke with Father, don't take it so seriously! I I will definitely hand over this pistol and those bullets to Lin Qiang!”
In the bedroom in the side courtyard,
Lin Xuankong made a random excuse and pushed Miao Youren and others away. After that, he sat cross-legged on the sandalwood bed, activated the demonic energy in his body, and practiced the Blood Spirit Technique.
Nowadays, Lin Xuankong's state of metamorphosis has been rapidly improved by absorbing the blood and vitality of a large number of living creatures. He has reached the early stage of the second level, but the Blood Spirit Dafa is still at the entry level! Obviously, this kind of powerful demonic technique that allows practitioners to practice in the spiritual world is not an ordinary technique. If you want to improve your realm, you still need Lin Xuankong to practice diligently!
The most important thing is that once the Blood Spirit Dafa reaches a proficient level, Lin Xuankong's speed of absorbing the blood and vitality of living creatures and improving his own transformation level will be accelerated again!
Lin Xuankong, who possesses the soul of the "Pseudo Immortal Realm", has a superior understanding of various martial arts and cultivation techniques because he is from a high position, compared with when he first came into contact with martial arts in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. At that time, of course it would be many times stronger. Coupled with the more than 10,000-fold bonus of Lao Dang Yizhuang's talent for aging, Lin Xuankong was practicing the Blood Spirit Art at this moment, and he felt that his state was rising every moment. Keep improving!
“It should take until midnight at most to practice this Blood Spirit Art to a proficient state!
Once it reaches the proficiency state, this Blood Spirit Art will be activated, and even You no longer need to touch the body of a weak creature, you can absorb the blood and vitality of a creature at will from a foot away, and the absorption speed will be accelerated seven to eight times!”
After practicing for nearly an hour, Lin Xuankong took his mind off the practice and thought to himself.
At this moment,
there was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside, and then Miao Youren's voice sounded with a somewhat flattering tone, "Miss Third is here, are you there?" Ren is here to greet you respectfully. The third lady should be here to see Master Lin. He is over there in the bedroom. I will go and invite Master Lin immediately. Come over to the living room to see Miss Miao!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong's brows moved slightly, and he said secretly: Although I have only met this third lady of the Miao family once, she can obviously see it. She is a woman with quite a personality and a little temper. I don’t know what she is going to do when she suddenly comes to my side!
However, the head of the Miao family, Miao Yunhu, is indeed very good to me. Even if he has admitted the wrong person, he should still accept some of Miao Yunhu's feelings and treat Miao Wan, the daughter of Miao Yunhu. You should also have some etiquette!
While thinking in his mind, Lin Xuankong stood up and walked outside without waiting for Miao Youren to enter the bedroom. After arriving at the door of the living room, he looked at the good-looking third lady of the Miao family, slightly cupped his hands and said: "Lin Qiang has met the third lady!"
After welcoming the third lady of the Miao family into the living room, Lin Xuankong said straight to the point: "I don't know about the third lady. Why did you suddenly come here today?"
Miao Waner was obviously a neat person. She took out the pistol that Miao Yunhu had given her directly from the small bag she was carrying, and handed it to Lin Xuankong. , told Miaoyun Lake that something had happened recently, and he might not be able to come to visit Lin Xuankong right away, and also told Lin Xuankong why a gun was brought over.
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong took the well-made pistol, played with it casually, and said:
"Uncle Miao valued Lin Qiang so much, Lin Qiang was deeply touched. Such a sophisticated pistol must be of great value, and it is excellent for self-defense!
In addition, there is no need for Uncle Miao and Miss Miao to worry about what they are not used to living here! Compared with Lin Qiang and I who struggled to escape and couldn't settle down for several days, Uncle Miao really gave Lin Qiang a lot of help! "
"Well, that's natural. My father values Brother Lin very much. Wan'er can see it clearly. I hope Brother Lin will feel at home when he lives here! Okay, Wan'er has told Brother Lin all the things her father told her, so Wan'er won't bother Brother Lin here anymore! "Miao Waner said.
After saying that, Miao Waner stood up and walked outside. She obviously had no intention of saying anything to Lin Xuankong! In fact, this is normal. Today, Miao Waner has I am very sure that I will follow Sima together with Huang Yuner in the future Dongming, with this path, Miao Waner is already very ambitious for her future! With this kind of mentality, Miao Waner is really not in the mood to befriend a down-and-out man like 'Lin Qiang' (End of this chapter! )
