Chapter 984: The Xue family has a sub-name Xiantu
984. The Xue family has a sub-name first
Hearing that Xue Rengui and the two went and returned, Xue Xiong was very surprised, thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "You go and ask him what's the matter, I don't see him."
The white-haired housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, but he still went out to spread the word honestly, Xue Rengui and the others stood in the hall of Xue's house worriedly, not long ago they were scolded by Xue Xiong here, and the two of them also misunderstood his good intentions, and now they are going to meet again, and they are actually a little apprehensive in their hearts.
"You can tell the old man if you have anything, the old man is busy and has no time to meet." The old housekeeper stared at Xue Rengui and said, he knew that the old man looked down on this broken family on the surface, but in fact he still valued it very much.
Xue Rengui's heart sank when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think about it, Zhou Qing hurriedly said: "I want to teach my uncle to know that my brothers and I plan to go north to join the army and conquer the Turks, and Rengui has come to bid farewell to my uncle."
Xue Rengui also came back to his senses and arched his hand: "That's right, please ask the old man to give a good voice, and the unfilial son and nephew ask the uncle to see him."
As soon as the words fell, there was a heavy and rapid footstep sound from the back of the hall, Xue Xiong turned out, and scolded angrily: "Brute, you are the only male left in your family, how dare you risk your life?" Do you want to make your Longmen Xue family extinct?"
Xue Rengui lowered his head when he heard this, and said respectfully: "It's not that Rengui is reckless, it's just that now the time is right, Rengui is really unwilling to be mediocre, so he has to go." Bow your head and be silent.
Xue Xiong was silent, his face was heavy, and Zhou Qing was also anxious: "Xue Yuanwai, now the imperial court is divided into six routes of the army to the north, with hundreds of thousands of troops, there are famous generals such as the Duke of the United Kingdom, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also personally appointed as the pacification envoy of the six provinces of northern Xinjiang to lead the Shence army to the north, a few days ago I heard that the Duke of Dai Guo ran thousands of miles to occupy Xiangcheng, and the Turkic barbarian king fled north in a hurry.
Xue Xiong's face trembled when he heard this, but he still had a straight face, and the old housekeeper on the side also sighed when he saw this, Xue Rengui looked at Xue Xiong, and always felt that Xue Xiong seemed to be wrong, well, he was very prejudiced against martial arts, and he hated martial arts, and then looked at the old housekeeper's expression, and felt that there might be a hidden secret.
Immediately, he also asked gently, "Uncle, what are your troubles?" As he spoke, he looked at the old butler again.
Xue Xiong smiled bitterly when he heard this, slapped the desk and shouted: "The family is unfortunate, from the Xue family in Hedong, I should have studied hard and achieved fame, but I have inherited the blood of Hedong King Xiuda Gong (Xue Andu, a famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty)."
Xue Rengui was even more confused when he heard it, the king of Hedong knew that it was the sixth ancestor he was proud of, and he was a generation of famous generals, but this sentence was inherited...... Is it except me?
The old housekeeper on the side also smiled bitterly: "Back then, the old man missed his career, concentrated on business, and earned this huge property, and later had an only son, one or two years younger than Xue Langjun, is your cousin, the old man wants the young master to study scriptures and history, and even sent the young master to Hedong clan at any cost, but the young master is good at martial arts, and he has no effort to learn literature, and the master has to ......."
"Shi'an, don't say it, call the rebel out." Xue Xiong listened to the angry chest rise and fall on the side, interrupting the butler's words and shouting.
The old housekeeper Xue Shi'an should go down.
Xue Rengui and the others also understood, looking at each other, but they could also understand it in their hearts. After all, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, the class of Shinong industry and commerce is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although Xue Xiong's family has a huge amount of money, but he has always been a businessman, and he can't be on the stage, even if he is from the Xue family in Hedong, it is also cheap, so he wants to train his son to be a scholar, but it is a pity that this only son is not angry, he doesn't like to read but likes to practice martial arts, which makes Xue Xiong how can he not be angry, which makes Xue Xiong not hate martial arts.
Xue Rengui also felt that he was lying down, and said bluntly: "Uncle, if you don't learn martial arts, you won't be productive, my Datang established the country with martial arts, and it is not a matter of emphasizing literature and ignoring martial arts, and now there are strong enemies around Datang, but most of the founding fathers are old, and it is an opportunity for young people of my generation, maybe my uncle should give my brother a chance."
Xue Xiong rubbed his brows when he heard this, and muttered: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate." Then his face changed, he gritted his teeth, seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said directly: "Rengui, it was my uncle who spoke too aggressively to you before, but my uncle is also very hard, I hope you can understand."
Xue Rengui was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed down, "Uncle is serious, uncle's heart of love and care, Rengui is very grateful, I am ashamed that I misunderstood my uncle before, and my nephew is ashamed."
"Haha, my brother gave birth to a good son." Xue Xiong laughed when he saw this, got down and helped Xue Rengui up, looked at Xue Rengui again and said, "Rengui, that uncle asks you for one thing, I hope to agree."
"Uncle, please command, Rengui will never shirk." Xue Rengui is busy, since his father died a few years ago, Xue Rengui has experienced the warmth and coldness of people, and now he meets an uncle who loves him, how can Xue Rengui not agree.
"Okay, then I'll hand over Xiantu to you, let him go north with you to join the army and make meritorious deeds, but Uncle has the cheekiness to ask you to take care of him" Xue Xiong's face was gloomy, and he sighed: "Uncle, I only took one wife in my life, and I only gave birth to Xiantu after the age of time, and I only have one descendant left in his lineage, I really don't want Xiantu to be in danger."
Xue Rengui was also shocked, and said bluntly: "Uncle can't, the first brother is still young, and the battlefield is dangerous, it's better to be at home, or to serve your uncle's knees, and it's not too late to plan when you become an adult in the future."
As soon as the words fell, I heard a burst of footsteps, and then a rather proud voice came, "Fang is the one who said I was young."
Xue Rengui turned to look, only to see a sturdy young man dressed in a short dozen turned in at the door, although it was early winter, but he was only wearing a short beat, his skin was hard, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, he should have just exercised, and then looked at his appearance, only to see that this young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a strange appearance, a straight nose and pursed lips, and a resolute and awe-inspiring atmosphere.
Xue Rengui only saw one voice, "Good man".
Xue Xiong rolled his eyes when he heard this, what a good man...... Lao Tzu doesn't want a good man's son, he wants a gentle scholar's son.
"Dad, what are you looking for me? I'm practicing martial arts." As soon as the young man entered the door, he casually arched his hand towards Xue Xiong and complained, and then glanced at Xue Rengui again, "Huh? Who are you? You're not bad, you look like a man." The young man was also very happy to hear Xue Rengui praise him as a good man, and saw Xue Rengui dressed in animal skin, with knotted arms and muscles, a square face, and a manly spirit, and he also patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and praised him, and at the same time muttered in his heart: Why did I feel affectionate when I saw him, and then trembled, shook his head and said secretly: Lao Tzu doesn't want Longyang to be good.
Xue Xiong slapped the table, "Rebel, this is your cousin, Xue Li, Xue Rengui, you haven't seen the courtesy yet."
The young man was stunned, glared at Xue Rengui, glanced up and down a few times, and said, "You are my cousin?" Wait, are you Xue Rengui? ”
Xue Rengui smiled, "Brother Xiantu is polite, I am Xue Li, the word Rengui." He also has a good impression of this brother he met for the first time.
The young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked excitedly, "Are you Xue Rengui who can shoot open geese in Fenhe Bay?" ”
Xue Rengui smiled bitterly, and before he could answer, Zhou Qing on the side smiled and said: "Then it's right, in the entire Fenhe Bay, only Rengui can shoot open geese."
"Haha, it's really you, I didn't expect you to be my brother, Xue Xiantu has seen Brother Rengui, I have long heard about my brother's ability to shoot open geese, it's really a magic arrow, I admire it very much." Xue Xiantu excitedly took Xue Rengui's hand and said, full of admiration, pulled Xue Rengui to sit down on the side, "Brother Rengui, why did you come today, I can't wait to meet my brother as soon as possible, by the way, my brother has such archery skills, his posture is extraordinary, he is a good man at first glance, and his martial arts should be very powerful, let's go, let's go a few tricks, haha."
Xue Xiantu excitedly pulled Xue Rengui and chattered, saying that he was going to drag Xue Rengui to the backyard to compete, Xue Rengui was stunned, looked at Xue Xiong with a wry smile, and said straightly: "Brother Xiantu, don't worry, there will be a competition in the future, listen to your uncle first."
Xue Xiong's face trembled, and he wanted to beat this rebel to death, but he was reluctant to beat himself hard, and shouted with a black old face: "Rebel, you give me a stop."
"Rebel son, rebel son, call me like this every day, is it good for me to have a name". Xue Xiantu was drunk like this by his father, scratched his head and muttered aggrievedly, but he didn't dare to rebel.
"Rebel, haven't you always wanted to be a general, and now your cousin Rengui is going to join the army to fight the Turks, you... Alas, go with it." Xue Xiong looked at his rather majestic son with complicated eyes, and said directly.
Xue Xiantu was stunned, stared at Xue Xiong in surprise, and only opened his mouth for a long time before he opened his mouth, looked at Xue Xiong suspiciously, and stepped forward to touch Xue Xiong's forehead, "Dad, you're not sick, are you?" Don't scare me, I'm not mad at you." Xue Xiantu looked panicked.
Xue Xiong's face was black, and Xue Rengui and the others couldn't help laughing, "Rebel, you are idle at home all day long, running horses and dancing guns, obviously a family person, learn from those rangers, sooner or later you will cause trouble, it is better to go north with your brother, but you are also loyal to the country." Xue Xiong said with a look of hatred.
Xue Xiantu was really shocked at this time, jumped up straight, slapped his thigh, and bared his teeth in pain, "Really? It's not a dream, Dad, did you really ask me to join the army? ”
Xue Xiong didn't make a sound with a dark face, it was a tacit acquiescence, Xue Xiantu jumped three feet high when he saw this, and he was so excited that he was about to go to the sky, and then patted his chest and said: "Dad, don't worry, the child knows how to measure, he will not be impulsive, I am the only seedling in our family, I will not die, you can rest assured, not only will I not die, but I will also ride a high-headed horse, with hundreds of warrior attendants, and lead the emperor's reward to swagger home, haha."
