Chapter 91 Four Years Later

  Thank you to everyone who has been supporting Danni for such a long time, thank you to those who have subscribed to this book all along. Of course, I want to especially thank Huawu LHH2012, May sister, Ziyuan? Zhao Yilin, Huanmeng Liuli and others... for their support. Danni won't mention each of them one by one anymore, muah muah, love you guys!

  In the early morning, the path in front of the Chen family's shop was completely buried under a thick layer of snow.

  After a long time, I finally heard the creaking of the gate opening, and a boy who looked like a shop assistant opened the door with a yawn.

  "Hey, Fourth Miss, it's so cold today. Why are you standing outside?" The sudden gust of cold wind made him shiver involuntarily, and when he saw Xi Mei standing across from him, he asked in surprise.

  Xi Mei turned her head and replied with a smile: "Didn't Dongzi tell you not to call me Fourth Miss anymore, just call me Xi Mei directly."

  This young master has been adhering to the principle of "master and servant have their differences" since he came to her house two years ago, and would not listen to them no matter what.

  "That won't do, what's meant to be will be, can't mess with the rules." Dongzi said sternly.

  Xi Mei thought about his stubborn temper and had no choice but to give up. She tidied up her thick cloak and said, "Alright, I know. You go ahead and attend to your business first."

  After he disappeared from view, Xi Mei finally let out a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and it had been four years since she came to this time and space. The little girl who was once small had also grown into a big girl.

  She still can't understand how Tianxiang Building changed hands for no reason after the kidnapping that time.

  It's easy to change owners, but he just had to die and smash his head on their house.

  It's obvious even with toes that Wang Ziheng must have made his move.

  He's still running to her house from time to time, even though he says that doing business with his own money is something only a fool would do.

  It sounds good for the sake of the preserved egg business, but in fact it's to see if her older sister has come, it seems that this person is determined to play a nurturing game thoroughly.

  Snowflakes were crystal clear and transparent, floating gently from the sky, Xi Mei stretched out her hands to let them fall on her palms, Xiao Yan looked unusually serious.

  In a moment, the sound of horseshoes came from the corner of the street, and Xi Mei raised her head excitedly to look around. Sure enough, their own carriage appeared from the bend in the road and gradually entered her line of sight.

  "Brother, you're back?" Didn't wait for the carriage to stop, Xi Mei excitedly shouted.

  She's the eldest sister at home. Since she entered the academy, it's like modern kids entering a boarding school, and can only return home once a month. Her mother misses her so much that she keeps mentioning her every day without stopping.

  Fortunately, another comforting thing is that his elder brother became a scholar (Xiucai) and was appointed as a Linsheng last year. This made the whole family overjoyed. Today is the day of his elder brother's release from prison, and her father had gone to pick him up early in the morning.

  "Xi Mei, it's so cold outside, why are you standing out here? Hurry up and go inside." Chen Tianfa scolded hastily before Rui Xuan could even open his mouth.

  Xi Mei shook her own head, and the pink ribbons on her double buns also swayed with it. She mischievously said: "Dad, you're one to talk! You didn't know who was muttering last night, saying that big brother is coming back today, making us all anxious too?"

  Exposed by Xi Mei without mercy, Chen Tianfa just smiled indulgently. His big palm lovingly stroked her head.

  Jingjing's big eyes stared at Rui Xuan, and Xi Mei said: "Big brother, hurry up and go in, mother and the others are all waiting anxiously."

  "Right, right, hurry in, your mother and the others have probably already prepared the food you love to eat." Chen Tianfa added.

  Embracing his eldest son who had grown up to his shoulders, the three of them walked together towards the courtyard.

  As soon as she pushed open the door, a loud voice came from inside, "Mother, come out and take a look, big brother is back."

  Xi He wore a crimson silk padded jacket of the same color as Xi Mei, with a lifelike satin flower on her head. Those who didn't know would have thought that the two little ones were twins.

  As soon as Xihe finished speaking, Madam Zhao hurriedly walked out of the house, "It's about time you're back, was the food good there? Was it cold at night when you slept, did anyone bully you..."

  It started again with a long inquiry, this phenomenon happens once a month, the Chen family is also used to it. Rui Xuan still had a warm smile on his face, and patiently answered one by one after Zhao asked all the questions.

  Xī jiě quietly walked up to her second sister and asked, "Second sister, where did second brother go? Why isn't he seen anywhere since early morning?"

  Xi Mei rolled her eyes impatiently and said, "Where else can he go? He's probably gone to the opposite side again, pestering someone to teach him martial arts."

  In these four years, whether it was Ruihao or Xiaobao, they seemed to have found their place in the world and were deeply respectful of the person who had saved their lives back then, wishing they could live with him and become a family.

  Kuai just suffered for Xu Peifeng, but it was just to protect Xi Mei, who knew that he would get entangled with two "caramels" that couldn't be shaken off?

  However, fortunately, being able to come and go from the Chen's house frequently isn't entirely without benefits.

  Zhao's family only remembered that they hadn't had dinner yet after asking all the questions, and instructed Xi Ju, "Xi Ju, hurry up to the kitchen to prepare, we should have dinner too."

  Rui Xuan turned his head and said, "Mother, why don't I go call Second Brother back?" Madam Zhao thought for a moment, it was indeed better this way. After all, the girls were not young anymore, and it wasn't proper for them to always run to the opposite courtyard where there were only a few old men.

  He nodded and replied, "Alright, you go quickly and call him back soon after eating. Your father still has things to do."

  "Got it," Rui Xuan said, quickly walking towards the door.

  Deng Rui Xuan stepped into the courtyard where Xu Pei Feng was, and saw two men in thin clothing comparing moves in the center of the courtyard.

  All I saw was a big one, squatting down and sweeping his leg, and my younger brother fell to the snowy ground with a "slap".

  The force was so great that even Rui Xuan, who was separated by such a distance, could feel the vibration of the ground.

  "Get up! With your weak and limp appearance, others will be able to slap you to the ground with just one palm!" Xǔ Péi Fēng said discontentedly.

  Rui Xuan looked at his brother who had fallen to the ground and did not go forward to help him up, but instead watched from a distance, wanting to see how Rui Hao would react.

  He only saw him panting in the snow for a while, and then he struggled to get up again. This time, not only Rui Xuan, but also Xu Peifeng, who had been keeping a straight face all along, showed a hint of satisfaction.

  After a while, Rui Xuan slowly walked into the yard and said to the older man: "Uncle Xu, Rui Hao has caused you trouble."

  Zhi Hao, who was staring straight at his opponent's movements, heard a familiar voice and looked towards the newcomer with surprise, saying: "Big brother, you're back?"

  Rui Xuan nodded, "Mother asked me to come and call you for dinner. If your practice is almost done, then follow me back?"

  He brushed off the snowflakes on his body. The boy revealed a sunny smile, "Alright, let's head back now. I'm also getting hungry."

  After finishing speaking, he turned his head towards Xu Peifeng and asked, "Brother Xu, are you going back with me? Or..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Xu Peifeng hastily interrupted him, "I'll go back with you and eat."

  For Xu Peifeng, although they were sent to protect Xi Mei, in their daily lives, doing some small business like selling iron was still enough for them to live a good life.

  However, the problem is that in recent years, his brother also doesn't know what's wrong with him, and he has developed an interest in the kitchen. His greatest pleasure every day is to think about how to cook.

  Unfortunately, heaven gave him a pair of strong arms but took away his delicate craftsmanship.

  So, can you imagine a 200-jin big man wearing the small floral apron given by his wife, humming a tune while busily cooking in the kitchen, and finally presenting a dish that looks terrible but tastes great with a smile?

  Estimated to have thought of this scene, the three people in the yard shivered simultaneously.

  The three of them walked quickly towards the Chen's house without saying a word.

  At this time, thousands of miles away on the battlefield, a small soldier rushed into a tent with a chilling wind and said: "Report to General, Deputy General Zhang came to report that the enemy's grain and grass have been burned!"

  The big man beside the general clapped the newcomer on the shoulder, laughing: "Well done! This bunch of bastards can finally be taken care of properly, General..."

  The emotional words were finished, and he looked at the silent general with a puzzled expression: "General, why don't you speak?"

  As soon as the general in the great Han dynasty lifted his head, the little soldier who was kneeling on the ground couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart and quietly lifted his head.

  When he saw the general's face clearly, he couldn't help but take a cold breath. Is this still a normal person?

  The person in front of him had a young and rugged face, with features that were unexpectedly calm and quiet, as if he was born with an expressionless face.

  "General?" The little soldier trembled with fear, his head pressed to the ground, not daring to lift it up.

  Who told him that General was born with a girly face, having a more beautiful appearance than the number one courtesan in the world, and being a complete sissy?

  The young general gazed calmly at his subordinate who was still trembling on his knees and simply said, "Get out."

  Although it was a dull and emotionless speech, to the kneeling person, it seemed like a distant heavenly sound coming from afar.

  He trembled and said "yes", then quickly got up and walked out of the tent.

  After walking for a long time, the man finally wiped the sweat from his forehead and cursed in a low voice. On such a cold day, he was still scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat, just like he had been fished out of icy water.

  Looking back at just now, that general only gave himself a faint glance, but inexplicably gave himself a strong sense of oppression, as if that person was an imposing sculpture without blood or flesh, making people feel fearful.

  These little rascals, no wonder none of them dare to come and report to General. They even deceive themselves into thinking that the General is a rare beauty.

  He spat on the ground and walked towards his tent with legs that were still a bit stiff.

  Just as he had just left, the big Han looked at his master in front of him and respectfully took out a letter from his bosom, saying: "This is a letter sent by Gu Jia San, General..."

  After he nodded slightly, it was handed over in front of him.

  He didn't hear him say until he had finished reading and put it in his bosom, "Tell Deputy General Zhang that at this midnight (now 1 to 3 o'clock), bring soldiers to uproot his old nest!"

  It's been a long time since he wasted his time, it's time to make a decision.

  The great Han said reverently: "Your subordinate has received the order and will go to handle it now."

  After finishing, he lifted the tent and walked out. For a moment, the snowflakes fluttered in, rushing to hit the young general's cold, hard profile!

  "After dragging on for so long, Xi Mei has finally grown up. Sharp-eyed relatives must have guessed who this person is, right? Hehe, it will get more and more exciting later, feel free to make any requests to Da Ni."
