Chapter 119 [Master’s Kindness and Disciple’s Filial Piety]

Looking at the goddess in the hearts of all the men of all ages in the neighborhood, the butcher felt as if something was breaking in his heart.

Did that guy really get the beauty?
Beast—this is his master!

It would be fine if he did something so rebellious, but he is still so young but already needs such supplements. It is really good-looking but useless!
Seeing the butcher's teeth grinding, Xie Beiling felt strange and returned to Liushi Lane carrying the pair of kidneys. Before she went in, she heard the sound of chaos in the next yard.

"Feng'er - are you feeling better? Open the door so I can come in and see you."

"Don't hide in the room and keep silent. I've changed my mind, Feng'er—"

"..."

Having such an evil disciple really makes people feel ashamed sometimes.

Pushing open the gate, there was a girl in green skirt leisurely basking in the sun in the open space in the yard. While basking in the sun, she sat on a small stool cracking pumpkin seeds and listening to jokes from the next yard. There was a black cat curled on her lap, chewing a piece of stuffed sausage hard.

These two are also worrying.

"I'm home."

Seeing her come in, the girl in the green dress turned her smiling almond-shaped eyes to greet her, then moved her eyes down to the waist in her hand.

"Hiss—Did Fengguan offend you?"

Yu Qing covered her mouth in surprise and said subconsciously:

"You want her to die on the bed."

"..."

A '#' sign slowly appeared on his smooth forehead. Xie Beiling took a deep breath and whispered, "Help me get a chicken from under the eaves."

Oh wow.

Yu Qing realized what she wanted to talk about, rolled his eyes, picked up the cat and put it on the ground, then took a dried chicken from a pile of meat under the eaves and went into the house.

Just went in.

"Hey!"

Seeing Xie Beiling about to blanch fresh kidneys in the kitchen, Yu Qing hurried over and asked, "Do you know how to cook? If you don't remove the fishy smell before pickling, how can you eat this thing?"

"..."

Xie Beiling stopped moving, and then saw Yu Qing push her aside, then picked up the pair of pork kidneys and started cutting them with a knife.

Remove the smelly oil, cut into pieces, wash with cornstarch, vinegar and salt, and then marinate with shredded ginger and other ingredients.

Xie Beiling, who had never cooked Yang Bucai before, was learning very seriously, and Yu Qing, who was rarely busy, also taught him everything he knew in order to have more free time in the future:

"In addition to pork kidneys, chicken kidneys and lamb kidneys are also tonics, as well as leeks and wolfberries. My mother often made them for my father when I was a child. But these are not the best. The best is medicinal wine, which is very nourishing."

"Oh, how?"

Xie Beiling looked like a studious baby, and easily aroused Yu Qing's desire to teach:

"Go to the wine shop and buy some old base wine. Then go to the medicine shop and buy some fresh deer antlers, ganoderma lucidum, old ginseng, dried seahorses, tiger whips... Soak them in a wine jar for a few months. Give Mingqi a small cup at night. It will make Feng Guaner fly."

"..."

These medicinal herbs are very precious and ordinary wealthy families cannot afford them. But last time, Wei Mingqi brought back a lot of old medicines from the palace. The only thing missing is some deer antlers and tiger penises. With her savings, she should be able to afford it.

After keeping the ingredients in mind, Xie Beiling asked the most important question:
"Can women drink?"

Snapped!
Yu Qing slammed the knife on the table and glared at him unhappily:
"Was it originally made for her?"

"..."

The two girls had been at odds for a while, and the family knew the reason later. How should I put it? It was indeed wrong for Shi Fengguan to intercept them, but -

You can't just watch someone die on the bed, can you?
Going over to take over the task that Yu Qing had left behind, Xie Beiling said softly:

"She is young, so you should just give in to her."

"what--"

Green Skirt folded her hands and just felt funny: "She is younger than me and I am older, why doesn't anyone pity me?"

“…You are not old either.”

Xie Beiling first stuffed the processed pork loin and chicken into the earthenware jar, then raised his eyes and discussed:

"But it's not too small. Why not take advantage of the time after the New Year to sort things out with Mingqi—"

"Don't even think about it."

Yu Qing leaned against the door, took out pumpkin seeds from his pocket and sneered:
"Is it that woman Shi Fengque who came to you to tell you about her love? Ha, these aunt and nephew are really interesting. They didn't think of me when they were eating secretly. Only when they were about to die of fullness did they think of using me to resist the thunder. Am I a fool?"

"..."

This is not a good response.

Xie Beiling also felt a headache at this time. He knew that the source of this matter was Wei Mingqi, but that evil disciple——

The ability is obvious to all.

Just like a wolf, before it has meat to eat, it can be treated like a puppy and pulled around, but once it comes into contact with meat, it is really a bit difficult to expect it to eat vegetarian food.

"If it's really difficult, just tell those two phoenixes like this."

Yu Qing cracked melon seeds and said leisurely: "If your man can't be fed, just give him some money and send him out to hunt for food. There are many wild women out there. If they see that their men are handsome, they may not charge you."

"..."

After that, there was no movement in the kitchen. Seeing Xie Beiling staring at her with a frown, Yu Qing cracked melon seeds a little slower and spoke in a lower voice:
"I'm just kidding. If I really wanted to embarrass them, I would have said it in front of them. I'm just complaining to you. Do you think I want to embarrass my own husband?"

Yu Qing was not stupid. He knew that if he said this in front of Erfeng, the dispute of pride would turn into a real feud. Feng Guaner also had a hot temper. After hearing this, she would rather have her stomach burst than give her a bite of food. Even Wei Mingqi would blame her.

Not to the extent that—

Knowing that she was a bit crazy and admitted her mistake in time, Xie Beiling didn't care too much, but just couldn't help but advise her:
"Is it so important who comes first and who comes second? It seems like you're confused, so why are you still going against me? Aren't you uncomfortable?"

"..."

It's understandable what she is thinking, but she still has to fight for her anger. Otherwise, not only will she not know how others will look at her, she will also feel unhappy in her heart.

Besides, Xie Beiling speaks very easily.

Yu Qing used her as an example and said, "If we can all see the future one day, you and your apprentice's family are happy and harmonious, and you return to reality and see your apprentice, will you be upset?"

"I--"

"For example, I'm just using an analogy."

Looking at Meixing's blinking almond-shaped eyes with an innocent look on her face, Xie Beiling felt suffocated in his heart, and recalled the concept of "cause and effect" that his master had taught him when they were traveling together.

She couldn't help but get involved in the cause and effect of Yu Qing and Feng Guan, so she was dragged out and used such a "treasonous" analogy.

Why bother? Why bother?
"Look."

Seeing Xie Beiling going back to light the fire, Yu Qing said with a smile:

"You're screwed too."

"..."

Xie Beiling wanted to shove the stick in his hand into her ass. She was twisting her head, she just didn't want to talk to her!

"What smells so good—"

The most unwelcome voice in the house now came from outside:
"Mother Yu, what is my master cooking?"

"Haha, Master's kindness and disciple's filial piety soup." "What the hell?"

Unknowingly, Hei Xinxing had planted a big bomb in the man's heart, blinked, pushed Wei Mingqi who was close to her side, and said:
"Don't bother, just go and see for yourself."

"...You have changed too."

Wei Mingqi grumbled in dissatisfaction.

He got up early these days to practice spear fighting, but this woman didn't teach him step by step.

But the mystery she created made him feel itchy, and he wondered what kind of soup could be named "Master's Kindness and Disciple's Filial Piety Soup".

It always feels like the top.

Looking at Xie Beiling who was making the fire, I don’t know if it was an illusion but my face seemed a little black.

It must be an illusion.

As everyone knows, boiling pots inevitably get dusty, and this kind of undignified work was usually his. But today, for some reason, Xie Beiling cooked without even telling him.

Is there a rift between the master and the disciple?
Wei Mingqi opened the tile cover with great sorrow, and the next moment all these emotions disappeared, leaving only deep emotion in his heart.

Pork loin stewed chicken soup

Ever since he and Feng Guaner became better brothers, even though Xie Beiling didn't say it, she was always thinking about him in her heart.

"Master..."

Wei Mingqi turned away shyly, and was about to speak up to affirm the relationship between master and apprentice over the past five years, when he heard a stiff female voice coming from behind the stove:

"Bring it to Feng Guan'er after it's cooked. Sleep well these two nights and don't run around."

"..."

Snapped--

There was a sound of something shattering inside me.

Wei Mingqi felt that he also needed nourishment. Feng Guan'er's side was easy to deal with, because all the beautiful girls in the palace were relying on him for their care. Even if he was a strong man, he couldn't withstand the demands of two women.

"Master——"

Xie Beiling seemed to have predicted what he was going to say: "Sleep for two days, sleep is the best supplement for you."

"..."

"Your Aunt Shi has come to me. There are some things that women are embarrassed to say, but you should also know your limits. Don't run to someone's door at every turn, like a pervert!"

"..."

After scolding her several times, she described Wei Mingqi as if he was an evil disciple who brought shame to her.

After noting that Aunt Shi had reported him, Wei Mingqi finally accepted the fact that the soup was not made for him.

"Okay, I won't go looking for her, okay? Don't make me sound like a pervert. I just wanted to see what she was doing in the house - who knew she was guarding against me like a thief."

"..."

That's probably not to prevent thieves. Ask yourself, if there was a wolf scratching and howling at the door, any normal woman would be very scared.

Xie Beiling gave him some face, and then stood up and gave up the fire-making position in front of the stove at Wei Mingqi's request.

This is the normal process of preparing lunch every day.

Wei Mingqi was thinking about what had happened in the past few days while making a fire. Since Yu Niang was unwilling to help, Feng Guaner really couldn't handle it alone.

I was idle at home all day, so I wanted to go drink with my good friend. As we drank, I found that she became more and more beautiful...so much so that my good friend is about to quit drinking.

We can't let her be the only one causing trouble anymore. Now that the New Year is almost over, it's time to focus on our career. Intelligence from the East Palace is delivered every day, and the situation outside is pretty much the same as the old man expected.

All the forces that should emerge have emerged, and the momentum is growing stronger and stronger, giving people a feeling that a storm is about to come. However, upon closer inspection, it is discovered that there is no leader of sufficient weight, which gives people a feeling of being lacking.

It is very important to have this breath.

It's the difference between loose sand and a rope. You may not be able to see it when you are in it, but those people with sharp eyes behind the scenes will see it and decide whether to bet on this trip or not.

Wanrenshan has put in so much reputation and effort this time. If he only gains some small minions like Diancanglou, the business will be a huge loss. He must catch the big fish.

Therefore, the old and the young also discussed a plan on how to combine this key bait. Now they have to proceed step by step to make the people outside have enough sense of crisis, or even put them into a temporary predicament.

In this way, when others raise the banner, they will be eager to move forward, forming a relatively solid and reliable entity. With the existence of this entity, the leaders in the capital will be able to make up their minds to extend their tentacles, and Wan Renshan and others will be able to close the net.

As the most important chess piece on the Wanren Mountain chessboard, Wei Mingqi is well aware of the importance of this time. If he can succeed, he will not only be able to eliminate many malicious eyes in the world, but also escape from the vortex of the temple.

The first few months after the New Year are crucial.

Wei Mingqi was staring at the firewood in the stove, thinking about his next trip, when Xie Beiling, who was cutting vegetables in front of him, suddenly said:

"You won't stay at home long after the New Year."

"Ok?"

Wei Mingqi suddenly came to his senses and was about to ask back but then stopped, probably understanding why she said that.

Although he stayed in this small courtyard all day and didn't care much about the affairs of the world, Xie Beiling often went out to buy vegetables, so it was normal for him to hear some rumors.

"Ah."

He affirmed with a nasal tone, and said vaguely:

"It's related to what I told you last time. It's no big deal. Just stay at home and don't worry."

"..."

If it weren't for Xie Beiling's good memory, she wouldn't be able to remember when the last time he did that happened was.

That is, the warriors from the Beijing camp came to provoke her, and Wei Mingqi later vaguely revealed some of the plans he had set up with Wan Renshan in order to reassure her.

They always say that they won't hide anything, but when something really happens, it's just like now, it's just short of summing it all up in one word.

Although he understood the disciple's intention of "reporting good news but not bad news", he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. Xie Beiling thought for a long time and didn't know how to express this feeling.

She was not one to complain.

“I bought a lot of meat before the New Year.”

The woman who was cutting vegetables whispered, "There's still more than half left that hasn't been eaten yet."

"..."

That was too normal. He was shocked when he came back. The eaves were full of chickens, ducks, fish and meat, which could not be shaken by the wind.

Even though the whole family are basically warriors, they don't stock up on New Year's goods like this. After making them for ten days or so, there are still a lot of them left, which were all eaten up by the bastards.

"Please buy less next year."

Wei Mingqi thought about it and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the high price of meat during the New Year. The problem is that we can't finish it. We can't finish it at all."

"..."

boom!
There was the heavy sound of a knife hitting the chopping board. The woman wiped her hands on her apron, lowered her eyes and said emotionlessly:

"You guys can buy it next year. I won't even know where I am by then. You're grown up now, so you have to learn how to manage your own home."

"..."

Wei Mingqi was numb.
