Early in the morning, Li Zexuan heard the drums of dawn being beaten outside. He knew that a new day had begun.
Having narrowly escaped death last night, Li Zexuan was covered in sweat. At this moment, his body was sticky and uncomfortable. He got up and walked out of the inner room, wanting to ask Xiao He to go to the kitchen and have someone boil some hot water.
"Young Master, you woke up so early today?" Outside the room, Xiao He saw that the Young Master actually woke up as soon as the morning drum sounded. She couldn't help but be surprised.
Facing Xiao He's surprised gaze, Li Zexuan felt a little embarrassed. Now, everyone in the family knew that he was a lazy person.
"Cough, Xiao He, tell the kitchen to boil some water for me. I want to take a bath." After saying that, he quickly went back to his room.
"Yes, Young Master."
Xiao He was a little confused. Didn't the young master just take a bath last night? Why did he want to take a bath now? The young master really liked to be clean now.
In the early Qin Dynasty, the ancient people washed their hair every three days and took a bath every five days. In the Han Dynasty, there was even a break. The officials worked five days and took a day off. In the Tang Dynasty, it was changed from five days to ten days. It was called a "break" day.
After Li Zexuan transmigrated, he didn't care about those rules. He basically took a bath once a day. Mrs. Li naturally wouldn't say anything. It was just a waste of firewood money. The Li family had a big business and didn't care about these things. Xiao He and Xiao Xi were already used to the young master's actions of taking a bath every day.
Xiao He didn't expect that the young master would take a bath every other night. Seeing that the young master went back to his room, she didn't ask and went straight to the kitchen to pass the order.
…
After taking a bath, Li Zexuan felt refreshed and planned to go to the front hall.
Xiao He quickly went in to help Li Zexuan tidy up the bed. She saw that the bed was wet. Did the young master wet the bed? No wonder the young master wanted to take a bath so early in the morning. Xiao He instantly blushed and screamed, "Ah!" She ran out.
Li Zexuan hadn't gone far when he heard the girl's scream. He quickly walked back and thought, What's in my room? Why is this girl so scared? I didn't do anything shameful last night, did I?
"What are you shouting for? What's wrong? Is there a ghost inside? "
Li Zexuan blocked Xiao He's way. Xiao He couldn't stop in time and bumped into his arms.
Xiao He jumped far away as if she had been electrocuted. She lowered her head and blushed, not daring to speak. She was afraid that if she told the truth, her Young Master would fly into a rage and sell her out.
Li Zexuan saw Xiao He blushing, lowering her head and not speaking. He was a little confused and wondered, "Xiao He, what's wrong with you? Say something. Are you counting ants here? "
Xiao He whispered, "Then I'll tell you. Young Master, you can't blame me."
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault. Just tell me what it is."
Xiao He then stuttered, "Young … Young Master, did … did you do that last night?"
"What did I do wrong? Why are you speaking in such a strange way? Make it clear. "
Xiao He hesitated for a long time before she said hesitantly, "It's … that … that, Young Master, did you wet the bed last night? I saw that your bed was wet."
Damn it …
Li Zexuan instantly felt as if he had been struck by eighteen bolts of heavenly lightning. That should have been because of the problem with his body last night, and the pain caused him to sweat uncontrollably. In the end, this girl thought that it was because he wet the bed. If this were to spread out, wouldn't this young master's reputation be ruined?
Li Zexuan patted the girl's forehead angrily and said, "What are you thinking? It's sweat. You're so young. Why don't you think about it?"
Xiao He obviously didn't believe him. How could anyone sweat so much? The Young Master must be embarrassed and deliberately covered it up, so she said, "Young Master, you're right. It's sweat, it's sweat. I will never tell anyone."
Li Zexuan could see that the girl didn't mean what she said. He said angrily, "It's really sweat. Something went wrong during my practice last night. That's why I sweated so much. If you don't believe me, you can smell it. I'm so old. Can't you tell sweat from urine?"
Xiao He blushed when she heard the Young Master's straightforward and vulgar words. She quickly ran away and said, "I won't smell it. Young Master, don't hit me. I won't tell anyone!"
Li Zexuan was speechless.
He forcibly grabbed Xiao He and took her into the bedroom. Well, don't misunderstand. Our protagonist didn't do anything embarrassing. He just wanted Xiao He to know that the bed was indeed sweat. This was related to his reputation for the rest of his life. Li Zexuan had to be serious with this little girl.
Seeing that the little girl finally believed him, Li Zexuan was relieved. He went to the front yard to have breakfast with his parents, little sister, and Han Yuxi.
After breakfast, Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi went to Mingyue Xuan to see if Iron Egg's injury had recovered.
Iron Egg had been staying at the Young Master's house these days. He had good food and drinks. There were also maids to take care of him. The Young Master often came to visit him. Even Madam Li came to visit him many times. Iron Egg was very grateful for these, but he wasn't happy.
Since he was almost killed by Cao Shaoyun last time, Iron Egg's desire to become stronger didn't disappear. Instead, it became stronger and stronger. He was like a tiger in his heart, ready to attack.
Yesterday, when the Young Master came to visit him, Iron Egg wanted to tell the Young Master about it. But when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to say it.
This morning, Iron Egg felt that his injury didn't hurt anymore. He tried to get out of bed. After a while, he felt that walking shouldn't be a problem. Iron Egg went to the back garden of Mingyue Xuan alone. He looked at the koi fish in the pond and sat on a rock beside it in a daze.
His mind kept replaying the scene of being bullied by Liu Haojian and being beaten by Cao Shaoyun. The first time, if the Young Master didn't come in time, Lan 'er would have been bullied. The second time, if he didn't make a prompt decision, his sister would have suffered misfortune. Even so, he was almost beaten to death.
Fortunately, his sister was fine. Otherwise, Iron Egg would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Although the two incidents didn't cause any serious consequences, there was a lot of luck involved. Iron Egg didn't want to be so lucky for the rest of his life.
Iron Egg used to be a mischievous brat in the Han Village. Usually, he would dig out bird nests, play in mud, and fight grasshoppers with Da Niu and the others. Children at this age were carefree because even if something happened, their parents would help them shoulder the burden.
But these two incidents made Iron Egg realize that the outside world wasn't beautiful. His father couldn't be by his side all the time and shelter him from the wind and rain. Besides, his father would grow old one day. He couldn't rely on his father for the rest of his life.
He wanted to become strong. He wanted to be as strong as the Young Master. That way, he could protect his sister and the people who cared about him, such as Lan 'er.
He estimated that he and his sister would be leaving the Young Master's house in the next two days. No matter what, he had to beg the Young Master to teach him martial arts. Whether the Young Master agreed or not, he had to try.
Iron Egg kept encouraging himself in his heart. He had to perform well and be sincere so that the Young Master would accept him.
At this moment, voices came from the entrance of Mingyue Xuan.
Iron Egg walked out of the garden and saw that the Young Master and his sister had come together. He quickly went to greet them.
"Young Master, you're here."
"Iron Egg, why are you out of bed?" Li Zexuan saw Iron Egg walk over and was shocked.
Iron Egg smiled and said, "Young Master, Iron Egg's injuries are almost healed. He can barely walk."
"Oh, that's good. Iron Egg, you were injured so badly that I was worried sick." Seeing that Iron Egg's injuries were finally healed, Li Zexuan was happy.
"Young Master, since Iron Egg's injuries are healed, I'll go back with Iron Egg today. My father hasn't seen Iron Egg for a few days. He must be worried sick."
Although she didn't want to leave, Iron Egg's injuries were healed. There was no reason for them to continue living here. Han Yuxi said goodbye to Li Zexuan.
Iron Egg heard his sister say this and felt a little nervous. He still hadn't told the Young Master about his situation.
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. Iron Egg's injuries are just healed. Let him rest for another day. I'll go back with you tomorrow. I'm going to the Han Village to find your father."
Thinking about it, her father should have raised enough money. She had to go to the Han Village to find Han Lizheng as soon as possible to finalize the matter of raising chickens. After calculating how many chickens the village could raise, they could then purchase the chicken seedlings.
Since the Young Master said so, Han Yuxi could only nod.
Iron Egg heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly thought that he should hurry up.
Taking a deep breath, Iron Egg felt that he couldn't wait any longer. He carefully said, "Young Master, Iron Egg has something to tell you."
"Oh? What's the matter with Iron Egg? " Li Zexuan was a little curious. He had always admired this child. He planned to go to the Han Village to talk to Han Lizheng and see if he could keep Iron Egg by his side.
At this moment, Iron Egg resisted the nervousness in his heart and the pain in his body. With a "plop" sound, he knelt in front of Li Zexuan.
Iron Egg knew that he didn't have money or ability. He didn't have anything to show. He could only follow the storytellers in the restaurants and use his sincerity to move the Young Master.
Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi were shocked by this kneeling. Why couldn't this child talk nicely? Why did he have to kneel? Li Zexuan wanted to pull Iron Egg up, but Iron Egg hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.
"Young Master, Iron Egg wants to be your disciple. I beg you to teach me martial arts. Iron Egg wants to become strong. He wants to protect my sister and everyone who cares about Iron Egg from harm. I beg you, Young Master, to agree. Iron Egg knows that he doesn't have money or ability, but Iron Egg will remember Young Master's kindness for the rest of his life! "
After saying this, he was about to kowtow. This time, Li Zexuan ignored Iron Egg's attempts to stop him and quickly pulled Iron Egg up. This child must have heard too many stories. Even if he wanted to be his disciple, he didn't need to kneel and kowtow.
Li Zexuan was also shocked by Iron Egg's words. Was this still the shy brat he saw before? After all, Iron Egg was only six or seven years old! It seemed that after experiencing these two things, Iron Egg had matured a lot.
Sure enough, setbacks were a catalyst for a person to mature quickly.
Han Yuxi was also a little surprised by her brother's actions. When she heard Iron Egg's words, she was a little touched. She couldn't help but think of the scene where Iron Egg stopped Cao Shaoyun regardless of the danger and let her go first. Han Yuxi couldn't help but tear up.
Her brother had grown up. Han Yuxi was both touched and gratified. She looked at Li Zexuan and wondered if the Young Master would agree.
