7. Everyone has their own scales
update icon Updated at 2023/3/1 11:17:12

In the evening, I received a message from the house steward, saying that my father had hosted a banquet and gave an account of the fiefdom. This is also the custom, after the lord announced the distribution of his children, the fief will be set that night, the next morning to send off their children.

After I received the news, I called Alea in and instructed:

"Alea, we have to leave tomorrow morning at the latest. I'll go to the banquet alone tonight, you pack our things."

Alea's cold face still showed a hint of worry and said nervously:

"Young master, you are alone ......"

I smiled and shook my head:

"It's okay. On the contrary, it's your side that has to hurry up and clean up."

Alea still trusts me, but still asked:

"Young master, we do not have anything to pack ah, I still accompany you ......"

nothing to pack?

This understatement clearly hides a hint of dissatisfaction with me, the moonlight clan, this is a barefaced hint!

Hmph, today I'll show you my financial power!

I painfully took out some nicely folded papers from my bosom and felt like a piece of flesh had been gouged out of my heart, like a husband whose private money had been discovered, and said painfully:

"This is the savings I have saved in various shops in the city, and some gold coins and trinkets buried in the corner of the back garden, which should add up to about five hundred and sixty-two gold coins anyway! ...... you go get it out. Use suitcase made by iron and wood to carry, be careful, that is my wife book ah, if lost I will have to be bachelor for life."

The purchasing power of a gold coin in this world is roughly equivalent to 10,000 yuan in the world I used to live in.

Alea took the ticket in my hand in surprise, looked at it carefully, and after carefully storing it away asked me:

"Young master, you are not robbed of the shop ?! ......"

Alea did not finish, shook his own head:

"No, the young master does not have that strength. In that case, well ...... could it be!"

Alea pondered for a moment, suddenly looked at me with a complex look, kneeling on one knee, head deeply bowed, said painfully:

"It is Alea incompetence, let the young master reduced to selling his body for money -"

"You can't think of a good place!!!"

I did not hesitate to knock Alea on the head.

What are you thinking there, selling body?

I also have to be worth the price of ah ...... rather than say, if it is worth the price, I will not hesitate to do this.

The most glorious work, but the meal without work is delicious? The answer is very tasty.

The money, to be honest, is basically what I earned over the years in the city by means of dogfighting, horse racing, playing cards, and so on. I have always felt that spending a lot of money, throwing a lot of money that is just a low-level dude in the gentry, look at the days live in style, how to do after spend all the money? The shy face to find the rich old dad to go for more.

The problem is that I asked my father to ask, he did not give ah.

Then there is no way, in order to live a comfortable life, the necessary means to money or need. In fact, this is not difficult, the boys like to visit the group of red-light building, I never go to that kind of place in the past few years because I want to gain Alea's favor.

So the use of a famous saying: where there is no genius? I just spend other people's time shopping in the red light house in dogfighting, horse racing, playing cards. So naturally, in these areas over those landlord's silly son or very easy.

Watching Alea happily walk out, I scratched my head.

This girl, really naive can be.

How about a little too much trust in me?

Just think about it a little bit and you know that this dinner tonight is definitely not as simple as you think.

The first thing you need to do is to walk towards my father's residence, turn right through the door, walk through the long corridor to the dining room.

Although there was not a single guard at the door, but the surrounding awe-inspiring killing intent could not be hidden.

I stepped in without any hesitation, and there were two people sitting around the table.

My old man, Lord Yunyang, and my big brother Liyi.

Seeing me enter, Liyi dropped the chopsticks in his hand and sneered:

"I didn't think you'd really dare to come. Where is that follower who has been by your side? How come he didn't come with you?"

I ignored him and dragged a chair to sit at some distance from the table.

What are you doing? What are you doing? You don't even go through the process, you just start spraying?

Liyi stood up and continued:

"Over the years, do you see me as a big brother? You've been running around the countryside, disrespecting your elders, living a really dashing life, the face of our Yunyang territory has been disgraced by you! Now you are molesting your brother and sister-in-law and disobeying your father, Lieder, you really have a lot of guts, do you really think I don't dare to do justice to my family and do justice for the world?

Holy shit, that's okay. This is not able to say a set of things.

I looked up at my old man, Lord Yunyang drank with a gloomy face:

"Liyi! You shall not be rude to your brother."

Hmm? What is this going on?

Lord Yunyang looked at me and said in a deep voice:

"Lieder, you and Liyi are both my children, I have not treated either of you poorly over the years, always a bowl of water to end evenly, and even a few times in your favor, this is a matter for all to see. But you have repeatedly stomped on the nose, I can not allow me not to teach you a lesson. How about this, you give up your guard Alea to Liyi, and the old grudge will be over."?

????

What is this person talking about?

Is it my memory that's wrong? Am I actually the favored child? The assassins and the poison were actually fake?

I almost gave a laugh, so I asked:

"So you want Alea ah ...... one of you is my brother, one of you is my father. Alea is just a knight chief, you want her is not a matter of words?"

Before my father could say anything, my brother said angrily:

"Hmph, it's not because you don't know what kind of ecstasy you put into her? Last time I called her to my room, she dared to slap me! And she even knocked me out with a sword, and it took days for the bag on my forehead to go down! That bitch, who is obviously my Yun Yang's subordinate, disobeyed my orders and followed you-"

I didn't wait for him to finish.

A slap on his face.

Liyi looked at me dumbfounded, I smiled and said to him:

"How did she slap you, is it like this?"

Then backhanded another slap, snapping off one of his teeth.

I watched him spit out a mouthful of blood and asked with a smirk:

"Or did she slap you like this?"
