Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 149 Ancient Female Temple (3)

"Uncle, you can try a little to see if you like it, because I only put tea leaves in it."

Song Qixiu stood up from the piano table and sat opposite Ji Xiao. He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, held it in his mouth, closed his eyes and savored it slowly. Ji Xiao drank tea and ate snacks, waiting for Song Qixiu's reaction.

In a moment, Song Qixiu opened his eyes, picked up the cup again, took a sip, and then said to Ji Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to move to your uncle's house?"

"Uncle, no thanks. I'm going to take over my father's job in a while, so I want to learn more at home."

"That's fine. Normally your uncle and I are served by servants in the academy. There is no difference between you being at home and being with your uncle. Will you still participate in the autumn examination three years later?"

"I'm going to attend, but Daddy said the day before my coming-of-age ceremony that I don't have enough experience, and that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. He told me to use these three years to go out and see the world, and then he would accompany me to travel, who knows..."

"Well, your father is right. Before you were born, your father and mother were traveling outside. They never came back during the New Year or other festivals. They only came back after your mother became pregnant with you. Moreover, your father's knowledge and experience are far greater than mine, and you were taught by him personally. You can only say that the disciple is better than the master."

"Well, so I plan to follow my father's advice and set out on a journey after I'm fully prepared in three months."

"Yes. Tell me if you need anything, and your uncle will have someone prepare it for you."

"it is good."

The two sat in the pavilion, sipping tea quietly. They didn't speak to each other, and they avoided talking about Ji Xiao's parents.

Ji Xiao was thinking in her heart, why didn't she come earlier, so that her mother wouldn't die of tuberculosis. After all, tuberculosis was difficult to cure in ancient times, and after being cured in modern times, it would leave sequelae of varying degrees. In Ji Xiao's memory, her mother was a gentle and knowledgeable person. If her mother was still alive, her father wouldn't die of depression, leaving Ji Xiao alone. Now she wouldn't have no relatives left except her uncle's family.

Moreover, when her mother was alive, she told Ji Xiao to find a son-in-law who would live with the family in the future. So before her father passed away, he also told Ji Xiao to find a son-in-law who would live with the family in the future.

Ji Xiao looked at the time and saw it was already 15:30. She said, "Uncle has some thank-you gifts for my aunt and the others in the box. I'll go back first."

"Okay, you go back."

Ji Xiao stood up and bowed before turning around and leaving. Ji Xiao took a shortcut and quickly came to where the carriage was parked.

"Zhiwei, notify them and prepare to go home."

"Yes, lady."

Zhiwei opened the door curtain and let Ji Xiao sit in, then she got in the carriage, called the coachman and guards, and rode home.

Ji Xiao took her own car. Even for such a short distance, she felt uncomfortable all over. How could she travel a long distance? She would be exhausted.

So on the way back, Ji Xiao closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but in fact he asked Yun Duo in his heart, "Duo Duo, find out if there is any suitable means of travel in this space, and also see if there is any martial arts secret book suitable for this world."

"Okay, master."

After Yun Duo agreed, she went to the warehouse to search, and finally found it in a corner. It was made by Ji Xiao in the ancient times according to the style of the Lotus Tower.

Then there is the martial arts secret book that Zhen Yuanzi left with Yun Duo, which was specially prepared for Ji Xiao.

"Master, I found it. The travel tool is what you made based on the Lotus Tower. But it is bigger and more comfortable than the Lotus Tower. The secret manual is also what you collected before. You can practice anywhere."

"Well, put the secret book in a hidden corner of the bookshelf in my study, and take out a small box of gold and silver. As for the car, find a suitable opportunity to take it out."

"Ok."
