Need for Uncle

Chapter 16

Chapter 15 Challenge【Part [-]】

Lu Chang raised her head suddenly, her neatly combed hair looked very nice in the morning light,
"Grandpa, what is this thing called?"

"Well, it's called fried chicken."

"Fried chicken? Is it fried?"

"kindness"

"Did you do it?"

"Uh... not."

"Then will you do it?"

"know a little."

"Then can you teach me?"

Ma Xiaoshuai was very pleased to see the little girl who gradually let go of her shyness and opened up her heart to chat with him.

"Teach you? Are you going to do it?"

Lu Chang nodded, showing an innocent smile towards Ma Xiaoshuai, with a pair of cute little dimples slightly curling up at the corners of his mouth.

"I'm going to make it for my mother and let him taste it."

Ma Xiaoshuai was infected by that smile, and immediately became happy.

"Lv Chang is very filial, where is your mother?"

"In...in the country."

Speaking of this, Lu Chang lowered her head a little lonely, looking at the finished chicken leg in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

"what happened?"

Lu Chang raised her head and smiled brightly again.

"It's nothing, uncle, thank you."

Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and said, "Thank me for what? Is it thanks for treating you to something delicious?"

"No." Lushang waved her hands again and again, with deep gratitude in her eyes, "It's my son, you didn't treat Lushang as a human being. When I'm with you, I feel the happiness that I can only have when I'm with my parents."

"Uh……"

Ma Xiaoshuai was at a loss for words, it seemed that this poor little girl probably didn't have many close friends on weekdays.

"Uncle, you are a good man."

Lu Chang looked at Ma Xiaoshuai who was lost in thought, and spoke softly, with a particularly sincere tone.

"Good guy?"

Ma Xiaoshuai stared at the little girl with a bright smile in front of him, a little surprised.

"Well, uncle, thank you for inviting me to eat."

"No, I'm happy with you too"

Lu Chang blushed a little when he heard Ma Xiaoshuai's words, stood up under Ma Xiaoshuai's puzzled eyes, lowered his head and stammered, "Master, I, I'm going to help sister Liu Hong in the kitchen, I'm going first."

"Uh……"

Before Ma Xiaoshuai could finish speaking, Lv Chang trotted far away, and when he reached the corner of the doorway, the light figure of the little girl stopped suddenly, and once again showed a bright and clean smile to Ma Xiaoshuai.

"Uncle, you are a good man."

"Good man... good man..."

Ma Xiaoshuai sat on the spot and recited the little girl's words over and over again, until the figure of Lu Chang had disappeared for a long time, he was still silent in that clean smile that was more peaceful than the newborn sunshine, he didn't know the definition of a good person in the girl's inner world How is it, but because of a chicken leg for a breakfast, or a few warm conversations, he would get a "good guy" from the bottom of his heart, which was beyond his expectation.

The morning sun is mild and fresh.There is a fragrance mixed with earth, flowers and plants in the air, which makes people feel fresh. It is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing to enjoy a leisurely morning.

Ma Xiaoshuai sat in the same place for a long time, then stood up, stretched comfortably, packed the things around him, went back to the room, took out the cold wash water and washed briefly, then put on his clothes, out the door.

Because of the short time with Lvshang, or maybe because of the phrase 'you are a good person', Ma Xiaoshuai seemed in a good mood at this time, with a bright smile on his face, and he was full of energy. According to Dongfang Mu According to the arrangement, he should enter the court as an official tomorrow, so today is his last day as a commoner, so of course he should enjoy it.

At this time, he was planning how to spend the good time of this day.

"Master..."

Hearing this sound, Ma Xiaoshuai immediately came to his senses, and looked forward, it was Dongfang Xueyu.

"Xueyu, you're back."

Dongfang Xueyu walked over slowly with a small bamboo basket in her hand and a smile on her face.

"Well, just came back, where are you going, Mr. Xiang?"

Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the well-behaved Dongfang Xueyu beside him, and felt very happy.

"Just thinking about it, I don't know how to spend today."

"Oh."

Dongfang Xueyu responded, lowered her head, and suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and her whole body became more and more charming, "Sir, let's go to the suburbs!"

"Going to the suburbs?"

Ma Xiaoshuai was a little surprised and said, "Why do you want to go to the suburbs?"

"Because...because..."

Dongfang Xueyu seemed to have something to do, she hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain why.

Although Ma Xiaoshuai didn't know his wife-to-be's temperament very well, he could tell Dongfang Xueyu's abnormality at a glance, "Xueyu, is there something wrong with you?"

Dongfang Xueyu raised her head abruptly when she heard the words, and waved her hands again and again, "No, no, then, it's fine if Mr. Xianggong doesn't want to go to the suburbs, why don't we go shopping?"

"Uh……"

Ma Xiaoshuai pondered for a while, but still couldn't think of Dongfang Xueyu's thoughts, so fortunately he didn't think about it anymore, but he agreed with Dongfang Xueyu's proposal, anyway, it's fine, and it's good to go shopping.

"Okay, let's go shopping."

"it is good."

Dongfang Xueyu was very happy, which made Ma Xiaoshuai even more puzzled, why was he so excited on the street?

………………

After leaving Xiangguo Mansion, Ma Xiaoshuai strode forward, while Dongfang Xueyu acted a little strangely.

How should I put it, since leaving the Xiangguo Mansion, this girl seems to have been worried about something, always looking around, holding her hand, but she feels that her whole mind is not here, and she looks a little restless.

"Xueyu, what's the matter with you?"

"fine."

Dongfang Xueyu categorically denied it again, but she didn't restrain herself at all.

Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help it either, so he simply didn't bother to pursue it.

Xiangguo Mansion is located at the end of the block where bureaucratic mansions gather, but it is not too far from the bustling center of Murong City. After passing through two not-so-long streets, Ma Xiaoshuai has been looking at the surrounding shops and stalls for something worth buying along the way. , but also very serious, and that Dongfang Xueyu was still the same from the beginning to the end, looking around restlessly.

"Boss, how much is this?"

Ma Xiaoshuai found a piece of jade with a strange shape. Seeing that the craftsmanship is quite good, he also wanted to buy it. He was asking the boss at this time, and he also took that piece of beautiful jade in his hand.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his early forties. Seeing that the two customers are well-dressed, he knows that they are people of status, and he is very enthusiastic in serving them.

"Young master, take a look first. If you like it, the price can be negotiated."

Ma Xiaoshuai caressed and observed in a serious manner, his heart moved, and he remembered the deal with Tang Xiao.

"Boss, how much of this kind of jade do you have?"

"Ah... this, there are still many."

"Okay, you make a price, I want a hundred pieces!"

The boss was obviously taken aback, one hundred pieces, this is not a small business.

"Young master, you...why do you want so much?"

Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the jade wares in his hand, and replied: "Don't worry about it, do you have a hundred pieces?"

"This... There is a way."

The boss is a shrewd man, and finally he was not dazzled by this single business. He knows best about his own products. Low-quality jade materials are processed to look good, and they are not worth a lot of money at all. The young master looked like he was not an ordinary person, one or two was nothing, but with so many at a time, he didn't dare to fool around casually.

"Bring it if you have it, what else do you say?"

Ma Xiaoshuai became a little impatient.

"This... Young Master... hey! Let me be honest, this thing of mine is not worth much..."

"I know."

Ma Xiaoshuai interrupted the boss, "That's why I want it, don't worry, it's none of your business, just pretend."

"Really...really?"

"Hurry up!"

"Hey! Hey!"

When the boss got Ma Xiaoshuai's affirmative answer, his brows were filled with joy, and he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear.

This is Dongfang Xueyu at the side finally paying attention to Ma Xiaoshuai's movements, a little curious.

"Msanggong, this jade is not very good, why do you want so much?"

Ma Xiaoshuai chuckled and said, "It's useful, it's useful."

"Oh"

"Zhang Defu, finally let me find you, hum!"

A stern rebuke for the untimely thought, Ma Xiaoshuai finally didn't forget that he handed over Zhang Defu, and looked in the direction of the voice suspiciously.

The sound was not low, and most of the people around were startled and looked suspiciously. Everyone's eyes were focused on a tall woman in a fiery red dress, and the people around deliberately opened a little distance. Come on, the woman in red, whose clothes are already conspicuous, stands out even more.

Ma Xiaoshuai took a closer look, hey, I know, it's not Qianyue.

"Oh!"

Dongfang Xueyu next to her didn't know why, and she patted her head in frustration.

Ma Xiaoshuai had never seen Dongfang Xueyu like this before, so he asked worriedly when he saw this scene.

"Xueyu, what's wrong?"

Dongfang Xueyu lowered her head like a discouraged ball, pursed her lips listlessly, and looked annoyed.

"fine."

Snapped!
"Zhang Defu!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Qianyue's voice came again, still so abrupt.

Ma Xiaoshuai looked puzzled, only to see Qianyue, who was dressed in a strong outfit, was holding a long whip in her hand, pulling it viciously, but her eyes were fixed on her body?
what happened?Want to fight?

Ma Xiaoshuai saw that the situation was wrong, so he asked, "What are you doing, what are you calling?"

"coward!"

"What a coward!"

"Humph!"

Qianyue snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "Have you received the challenge letter?"

Ma Xiaoshuai didn't understand, so he secretly thought that Qianyue had something wrong with him?Why are you talking nonsense?
"What challenge book?"

Ma Xiaoshuai didn't know what the challenge was, but when he said this, Qianyue on the opposite side was obviously stunned, and it took him a long time to recover, and turned his angry eyes to Dongfang Xueyu who had been hiding behind Ma Xiaoshuai.

"Snow jade!"

"what!"

Dongfang Xueyu pouted, reluctantly took a few steps, and faltered: "I, I...I"

Seeing this scene, Qianyue became more angry, "What are you, you didn't give it to him?"

"Hey, hey, I said Qianyue"

His daughter-in-law is being bullied, so Ma Xiaoshuai will definitely quit, "You are also a friend of Xueyu from our family, please speak softly, I say you..."

Ma Xiaoshuai was about to educate him, but suddenly found that the corner of his clothes moved.

"What's wrong, Xueyu?"

Dongfang Xueyu looked at Ma Xiaoshuai with a mournful face, hesitant to speak.

"Speak, what's wrong?"

"Hey!"

As if she had made a great determination, Dongfang Xueyu gritted her teeth and took out a piece of thick black and red leather paper from the bamboo basket she had been carrying, stuffed it into Ma Xiaoshuai's palm, then lowered her head again, "Look for yourself."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoshuai opened the paper in bewilderment. The white paper was written in eye-catching but somewhat dazzling red dye, with a row of crooked words:
Today, I am very angry with XX, who is a dead turtle. For the honor of XX Qian’s family, and for this girl’s XX, I will invite you to the Chengdong teaching ground at noon tomorrow to accept the challenge.
