chapter 25

4

On the second day, an imperial edict came to the Su family, shocking the entire imperial capital. Its popularity was no less than the "girl abduction case" a year ago.

The contents of the imperial edict are roughly as follows. First, all industries and incomes except silk donated by Su Wanxin are included in the treasury for disaster relief, land transportation, and infrastructure construction to improve people's livelihood; second, Su Wanxin's contribution was made and was granted the title of Prince, titled King Zhongxian, and was hereditary and replaced, with a fief of thousands of households; third, he does not need to participate in the government affairs.

Although the Su family started with silk, the majority of profits were other industries, such as money houses, canal transportation, minerals, etc. Now only one industry is left behind. Su Wanxin's countless huge assets can be said to have shrunk significantly, less than one percent before. In the eyes of outsiders, Su Wanxin suddenly changed from the richest man in the prosperous Tang Dynasty to an ordinary businessman. Although he was named a prince, he did not participate in the government affairs. He was nothing more than a false position or a title, and it had no meaning.

There are many speculations in the outside world, such as angering the empress and committing crimes, but the speculation is speculation, the Su family, as the center of the incident, did not make any sound from beginning to end, and readily accepted it. The parties involved did not mention it, and the perverted ones dared not confront the empress. As mentioned before, there is a topic in the imperial capital, and it only takes a while, so naturally no one mentioned it again.

"I didn't expect this to be like this!" Su Wanxin held the imperial edict and couldn't stop smiling. He looked at it over and over again, for fear of missing a word.

"Master, look at you're happy. Compared to the past, you're just a pauper now!" Mei Ruolan poked him and said with a smile.

"Haha, how about not having fun? Originally, the most jealous thing about my Su family was these gold and silver mountains. Now that his Majesty has all moved to the treasury, those who are jealous of their long lives have the ability to steal the treasury!" Su Wanxin calmed down and calmed down and said, "Now King Jingyang has no reason to deal with my Su family. He can finally live a stable life. Compared with this wealth of wealth, I care more about the happiness of the family! Thank you and your children these days!"

"I originally wanted to comfort you and make you think more openly, but I was too worried!" Mei Ruolan said, getting up and coming behind Su Wanxin, and helping him pinch his shoulders, with the force very appropriate.

"I have been running around for this business over the years and can't go home a few times a year. I feel very guilty if I neglect you and the children!" Su Wanxin reached out and held Mei Ruolan's hand, which was smooth and delicate, soft and boneless. "This family's wealth will be dispersed. I don't care. The silk business can still support our family. Now I have to return to my old business. I feel very moved, which makes me think of the small dyeing workshop we run. I feel that it was only at that time!"

"Not it! Although life is poorer, it is important to be down-to-earth. Every night, light an oil lamp and count the copper plates. If you have one more child, you will be so happy that you can't sleep!"

The couple recalled the past together, sweet and warm. Su Zhi and Su Ting hid outside the door and couldn't bother, so they sneaked away and came to the small pavilion in the lake in the backyard.

"Sister! Dad is okay!" Su Ting asked.

The Su family has achieved today, and has experienced some things, both of them are smart people, and their minds are more mature than ordinary children. Su Wanxin has changed from wealth to a country overnight. This gap is so far from being in the sky and under. The siblings are as worried as Mei Ruolan, for fear that he will not be able to think about it.

"It seems like something is wrong? Look at your parents, don't mention how sweet you are, don't worry!" Su Zhi picked a flower, put it in her hair, used the lake as a mirror, and posed in various postures, showing the beauty of a girl.

"Sister, in the future, only the silk business will be left in our family. Does it mean that dad can stay at home often?" Su Ting's eyes lit up. He had been together with his father since he was a child, which made him feel very disappointed.

"More than that!" Su Zhi grimaced at the lake, "Although the silk business is not as profitable as others, this is the foundation of the Su family. It is the most mature industry of the Su family. Now, no one in charge can stand alone. Daddy doesn't have to worry about it, even if he stays at home every day, it will have no impact!"

"Wow, that's great! I'm much better now. I must have my father accompany me to ride a horse someday!" Su Ting was very excited. This was his dream since childhood, but it could not be realized due to physical reasons.

"It's up to you!" Su Zhi said carelessly, "Although you have grown strong and taller now, you still have to pay attention!"

"Don't worry! Sister Butterfly said I have no problem practicing martial arts now!"

"Awesome! Awesome!" Su Zhi rolled her eyes and pretended to be complimenting.

"Sister! There was such a big deal at home, and my brother didn't know the truth. Will he come back?" Su Ting lying on the bench in the pavilion and said slowly.

"Hey, it's really possible!" Su Zhi suddenly felt energetic, "No, I have to go and prepare. My brother left without saying a word, which made me sad for many days. I have to take revenge on him!" After that, he ran away.

"Oh, poor brother!" Su Ting closed her eyes and shook her head.

Two years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Since that imperial edict, the Su Mansion finally calmed down. No one was afraid of the little thieves who had no eyes to attack the Su Mansion. Su Wanxin and his family finally fell asleep in a rare peaceful sleep. Liao Zhongyan and his guards did not relax because of this, and remained as always, conscientious.

Although Su Wanxin only had the silk business, he still had a prosperous and his performance was booming with his accumulated resources, connections, and years of experience in business. The silk of the Su family was famous for its superb skills, exquisite workmanship and excellent quality. The envoys worshipped the prosperous Tang Dynasty and worshipped the prosperous Tang Dynasty. On the list of return ceremony of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there must be his silk from the Su family. Therefore, the silk of the Su family was used to compare with the "peony" and "beauty" and became a vaguely

The third beauty of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was called "Su Chu". However, with the lessons of the past, and worried that Shuda would attract the wind and repeat the same mistakes, Su Wanxin was also quietly curbing this development momentum, and even quietly building a fake competitor to compete with the Su family, avoiding a unique success. In the eyes of outsiders, when they thought Su Wanxin was about to make a comeback and create glory again, they always felt that the momentum was insufficient, and they couldn't help but sigh that this era has finally no longer belonged to you.

Although the person is still the same person, the Su Mansion is still the same, but without the title of "the No. 1 Rich Rich in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty", it always gives people a feeling of "down and out". However, this is only seen by some short-sighted people. Life is like drinking water, and you will know the warmth and coldness of the Su Mansion. Whether it is wealth or destruction, only the Su family itself understands it.

It's night.

"Brother Xu Si, do you still remember the fellow countryman I told you before, the one who was the guard at the minister's house!" Wu Liu said, patrolling left and right for a while, and not letting go of a place.

"Well, remember, what's wrong with him?" Xu Si held up the lantern and took photos in the dark, not finding anything unusual.

"I was drunk yesterday and was drunk. I was still scolding me, and advised me not to hang myself on a tree, saying that the Su family's property was gone, and the monthly salary was definitely not as high as his. He told their leader and asked me to go to their place too!" Wu Liu said, and when he arrived at another place, he heard some movement, and he lit the lantern and turned out to be a night wild cat. "You said, if I told him that my monthly salary had increased instead of lowering, and it had doubled, would he kill me!"

"Then I have to kill you! Haha!" Xu Si said with a smile.

As they said that, the two had patrolled the single-family hut where Butterfly lived. Butterfly was about to lock the door. When they saw the two, they smiled and nodded at them.

"Thank you, two brothers!" Butterfly said to the two, his voice gentle.

"It should be, it should be!" Wu Liu grabbed his head and smiled, a little stupid. This is one of his problems. He is stupid when he sees a beautiful girl.

"Miss Butterfly, the weather is getting colder and it's a little cold after night. Be careful to keep warm!" Xu Si was very considerate and kindly reminded.

"Thank you, Brother Xu!" Butterfly thanked.

"By the way, Miss Butterfly, your sister-in-law has prepared some local products and I specially asked me to bring them to you. I just came back with the master a few days ago. I will send them to you tomorrow!" Xu Si suddenly remembered this and said hurriedly.

"Sister Xu is so polite. I'll bother Brother Xu to express his gratitude to Butterfly. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xu has made another trip!"

"What's the matter? Butterfly girl has cured my wife's illness. It's too late for our family to be grateful! Just be careful, just don't dislike it!" Xu Si said, "Then let's do it first. We have to patrol the night. Butterfly girl rests earlier! Let's go first!"

After saying that, Xu Si and Wu Liu went forward.

Butterfly watched the two of them sink into the darkness, then closed the door and entered the room. Xiao Qinxuan was still sleeping, she had never eaten for several years, and had never woken up. Butterfly shook her head and took out the transparent bottle from her arms. Now there are only a few drops of golden liquid left in the bottle, and it seems that she will be used up in a few days. No matter what happens after that, Dugu Jue never gave any instructions.

"Miss, let it be patient for a few more days!" Butterfly said, feeling a little distressed. Although I had to watch this process every day, I felt heartbroken every time.

The butterfly dripped the golden liquid on Xiao Qinxuan's eyebrows. The golden arc covered her whole body. The little body was convulsing. The butterfly couldn't bear it and didn't start. It took a while to calm down. Butterfly skillfully wiped Xiao Qinxuan's body. After wiping, she put the towel into the wooden basin and put Xiao Qinxuan into the quilt. Then she turned around and picked up the wooden basin and poured water out.

Inadvertently, the butterfly looked down at the basin and saw a trace of blood red. She quickly put down the basin and ran to the bed, picked up Xiao Qinxuan. She checked her. She reached into Xiao Qinxuan's clothes and touched her back. It was a little sticky. When she took it back, her palms were red, and Xiao Qinxuan actually had bleeding all over her body!

This scared the butterfly. Dugu Jue had never told her that such a situation would occur. For several years, she has continuously dripped the liquid of the transformed thunder tribulation into the middle of Xiao Qinxuan's eyebrows in a regular and quantitative manner every day, and never missed it, but this situation has never happened today.

Butterfly frowned slightly, bit her lips, put Xiao Qinxuan back into the quilt, walked to the middle of the room, pinched a spirit sword, and saw a water curtain appearing in the air, Dugu Jue's face appeared on the other side.

"Butterfly, what happened?" Dugu Jue asked. The voice on Dugu Jue was very noisy, with the sound of wind and thunder and hissing. Dugu Jue was also constantly changing directions, as if dodging some magic weapons and magic.

"Master, it doesn't matter if you are there!" Butterfly was also very worried.

"It's okay! Is there something wrong with Qin Xuan?" Dugu Jue frowned.

"Yes! The thunder tribulation liquid is about to be used up, about three to five days! But tonight, the situation is a little different. Xiao Qinxuan began to seep blood all over her body. Moreover, it seems that the golden thunder lasts longer and longer. I am afraid that Xiao Qinxuan will not be able to bear it!" The butterfly recalled that the golden thunder disappeared from the beginning, and now it is nearly an hour. This time is getting longer and longer, I am afraid that the last drop will last longer.

"Well!" Dugu Jue pondered for a long time, and avoided the attacks of several flying swords. "This should be normal. He blocked the transformed thunder tribulation for her by taking advantage of tricks. Compared to the direct bombardment of nine golden thunders, this is already lighter. You can take good care of it!"

"Yes!" Butterfly replied, retracting the magic trick, the water curtain gradually dissipated, and before it dissipated, he saw a red shadow and heard Dugu Jue talking to another person.

"I have no grudges and no grudges with you. Do you have to fight me to the death for this woman?" From a strange voice.

"Ha, it's not certain who lives and dies!"

The last drop of thunder tribulation liquid dripped down Xiao Qinxuan's eyebrows. The golden arc lasted for two hours. The butterfly waited anxiously. When the arc receded, Xiao Qinxuan had become a bloody man. Although she looked a little scary, her breathing was stable and not seriously damaged. Butterfly felt relieved. Thinking that wiping seemed to be a little useless, she found a large wooden barrel, added some hot water, adjusted the temperature, and put Xiao Qinxuan in to help her clean up.

"Um?" Butterfly helped Xiao Qinxuan dry her body, dressed up carefully, and her long hair tied into two small buns. She then put on a delicately crafted red dress, like a delicately crafted porcelain doll. "It feels like she has grown up. Even without the use of illusions, the fox ears and fox tail have disappeared. Is this a successful transformation? "

The butterfly was stained with blood, frowned and pursed her lips, "Or I'll wash it too!" So she changed into a new bed sheet and a quilt, put Xiao Qinxuan on the bed, and changed the water to prepare for a shower.

In the evening, it was the dinner time for every household. There were not many people on the streets, and the aroma of food was everywhere.

A young man wearing a straw hat, a blue shirt and a long sword on his back led a red horse into the city through the south gate.

"Chasing the Wind! Is it good to come back?" The man in green clothes said to the horse next to him, "You must be thinking about Piaoxue, right?"

The horse neighed, raised its hind legs and was about to kick the young man. The young man reacted very quickly and dodged.

"Tsk tsk, don't be so stingy! It was my fault to take you away and let you and Piaoxuetian be one side, but think about it, this time we went out, how many beautiful little mares we met? They have never seen such tall, mighty, handsome, and lightning-like. They are not the magic horses of ordinary horses at first glance!" The young man really flattered him, and was really happy to chase the wind, but he had to maintain the cold image of the horse and make a hissing sound, as if he was snorting coldly.

"Ah, I miss the braised pork made by my mother! It's fat but not greasy! It melts in my mouth!" The young man said as he drooled, and his stomach was rumbling, "I don't know if my parents are in good health. Is Zhi'er getting more and more beautiful? I don't know what Xiaoting's body is going on. I bring some medicine back this time, I don't know if it's effective!"

This young man is Su An, the eldest son of the Su family who has not returned home for many years.

"Go away quickly!" Because horse riding is not allowed in the imperial capital, he can only lead a horse. Even if he is eager to return home, Su An can only speed up his pace.

"Ye! The address is right!" Su An looked up at the "Zhongxian Palace" on the plaque and was confused, "Where has my home gone?"

Su An was not well informed about what happened in the Su family. It was more than three years since the imperial edict was promulgated, and the popularity had long passed, so naturally no one mentioned it again. Su Wanxin was named King Zhongxian and the empress gave him a plaque, so he changed the door and changed from "Su Mansion" to "Zhongxian Mansion". Su An didn't know what was happening in the middle, and was confused at this moment, thinking that he had taken the wrong path, so he walked around the Su Mansion and confirmed the address was correct.

"Forget it, why don't you go in and investigate first! Zhuifeng, you are waiting for me here!" Just do it. Su An found a remote corner, checked that there was no one around, took off his hat and put it on Zhuifeng, and jumped gently into the wall. "Well, the pattern has not changed!"

Su An was agile and had great body skills. He jumped a few times to a small courtyard. He stood in front of the courtyard with a lot of thoughts.

"I remember when I brought Zhier and Xiaoting to play house the most. When I first came here, I was too playful and fell asleep when I was tired. I was so anxious that my parents were anxious. I searched for it all night. When I went back the next day, I was beaten so hard that my butt was blooming. It was really miserable!" Su An smiled, touching her butt unconsciously, as if the scars were still there by Su Wanxin.

Su An shook his head, walked to the window, pushed the window open with force, supported his hand on the window ridge, and stepped on one foot, and then he jumped into the house as if he was petrified, staring at the house, unable to move his eyes away.

A young woman in the room just happened to go out of the bath, she was wet all over. The water droplets dripped down her snow-white skin, as silky as silk. Due to the angle problem, the big wooden barrel was blocking her. At this time, Su An could only see the woman's upper body. She lowered her head and tied her hair with a cloth, and was wiping away the water vapor. Her proud breasts swayed with the shaking of her body. Su An swallowed her saliva, and she looked like a beauty coming out of the bath!

What Su An saw was the butterfly that had just finished bathing. There were few people coming to this small courtyard, and the gate of the courtyard was locked, so the butterfly was not too defensive. Otherwise, with her ability, no one could approach her within ten feet of her silently. The butterfly suddenly felt a look on her, and looked up and faced the little thief's lustful eyes.

Su An suddenly noticed a trace of danger and hurriedly fell backwards. A water arrow flew away on his forehead, directly piercing a hole in the outer wall!

"Cultivator!" Su An was shocked. He had just seen the woman's body, and might have been peeled into a pig and marinated in a big vat. He was not allowed to survive or die, so he quickly apologized, "Girl! Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!" Then he fell to the ground with a roar.

The butterfly waved her hand, closed the window, waved her hand, and the blue robe flew towards her, and she also jumped up, and her clothes were spinning around her as if she was alive, dancing around her, stretching out her plain hands, and she walked through her sleeves, and the blue robe was close to her perfect body, the buttons were automatically buttoned, and the belt was wrapped around herself. With something to cover her shame, she didn't care about her disheveled hair, and her jade feet, butterfly grabbed her plain hands in the air, and a light blue fairy sword appeared in her hand.

The strong wind blew out from the house and the window opened out. Su An, who had just lying on the ground, had no time to react. He saw the woman wearing a blue dress and holding a fairy sword in her hand and flew out.

"My mother, where is the female sword fairy!" Su An rolled around the ground, and narrowly avoided the sword that was stabbing straight into the door. He used all his limbs and hurriedly escaped. His movements were very funny, and he apologized while escaping, "Miss, it's such a misunderstanding!"

The butterfly does not speak, with a cold face and frost, the sword and sword are fierce, and they are killed by the moves.

"Girl, I really didn't mean it! Hey, come again!" Su An avoided another sword. The sword was very sharp, leaving a small bunch of Su An's hair in the air.

Su An seemed to be in a tight position and was forced to get busy. However, what was even more surprised was Butterfly himself, a master of martial arts in the world, even if he was the so-called No. 1 in the world, could not stand up for a few swords in front of her. Now that he was really angry, he naturally didn't say anything about letting go, but he couldn't do anything to this lewd thief. Butterfly snorted coldly, since the sword technique could not do anything to you, then try this sword-control technique.

"Get up!" Butterfly pinched the sword technique with his hand and pointed at Su An, "Go!" The blue fairy sword was bright and stinged towards Su An, with a very fast speed, leaving a shadow in the air.

"Hey! I'm not polite if this happens!" Su An's heart was like a huge wave, but he was going back to his own home. Why did he meet a female monk? He was desperately trying to get up, "Hmph! You're bullying, right? Let's fight first. I apologize if I win, and you can deal with it if you lose! Unsheath!"

Su An shouted loudly, and the sword behind him was unsheathed and collided with the butterfly's blue fairy sword.

"Hey, why do you feel that winning or losing is the one I suffer!" Su An suddenly realized that there was a big problem with what he said just now, "No matter what, saving your life is important!"

This Su An is actually a monk!

Butterfly's face became colder and he snorted coldly, "I thought King Jingyang had changed his nature, but I never thought that the thief was still undead. If you kill you, the thief, first, I will take the life of this dog thief! Look at the move!"

"What King Jingyang!" Su An was confused, "Miss, did you misunderstand something!" With a wave of his hand, the two fairy swords collided again, making a crisp sound.

"What a fool! Sending some martial arts scum doesn't work. This time I don't know where to win over you, a monk!" Butterfly frowned, bit her teeth, and controlled the fairy sword with all her strength. Su An retreated step by step.

"I'm sorry, I'm not an opponent!" Su An had already judged the situation at the moment. This woman had a very high cultivation level. Her three-legged cat's sword-controlling technique was no match for her at all. It's important to save her life now. "Stay away!" She applied oil to the soles of her feet and actually ran away directly.

"Hmph! It's not that easy to run!" Butterfly took back the fairy sword and headed straight for Su An.
