After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 7 Chapter 8-9 The Gap
Facts have proved that being prodigal is also a technical job. He Lingchuan put all his energy into spending money, and only spent 200 taels a month.

In this frontier place, 100 taels is enough for an ordinary family of four to live comfortably for five or six years!
Ying Hongchan coughed lightly: "Lingchuan, I was just about to tell you that Xiaqiu spends too much money, and the mansion has to cut down on food and clothing. From next month, your expenses will be reduced to less than 80 taels." Husband glanced.

Before He Chunhua made a statement, He Lingchuan had already called out: "80 taels, go to Hongyan Tower twice and you'll be gone!"

Ying Hongchan's expression darkened: "Your brother won't spend 20 taels a month."

"He..." He Lingchuan objected, "He eats and drinks at home, what kind of money can he use? I have so many people following me, and besides, I have to take care of the relationship in the city, and it costs money to do it, and it's not just for me! "

"What kind of relationship do you want?" Ying Hongchan sneered, "Those people are flattering you, but they all stare at the master. Is there any need to maintain this kind of relationship? Our family has no shortage of watchdogs."

She didn't give He Lingchuan a chance to answer the question: "The current situation is turbulent, and money and food must be used in the right way. Lingchuan, your father and I don't ask you to relieve our family's worries, but let's stop causing trouble."

These words were a bit serious, and He Lingchuan suddenly felt panicked and dissatisfied.

These are not his own emotions.

In fact, every time the family eats, he can feel the "unpleasantness" coming from the depths of his mind, which is almost a subconscious reaction of the body.

Yuanshen didn't like this scene very much.In view of He Chunhua's love for him, this emotion should mainly correspond to the mistress of the house.

"Father." He turned to his father bluntly.

He Chunhua pondered for a while, and still said: "Madam is right, but 80 taels..." It's still a bit small, "Let's mention 200 taels."

100 taels is enough, lest he be too tired of spending money, He Lingchuan's face is displeased: "This is too little! 300 taels!"

The mother and son argued for a long time, and He Chunhua was doing auxiliary output on the side, also known as Heximu. In the end, Mrs. Ying killed her with one bite, and it was fixed at 180 taels.

Ying Hongchan glanced at her husband reproachfully.She wanted to do subtraction for her eldest son, but this old man couldn't help but fight to lose 20 taels from last month!

I really don't know how expensive firewood is.

"It saves more than 600 taels of silver every month." He Yue blinked, "You can buy dozens of sets of excellent armor, or a few good war horses, and recruit at least 60 people into the army."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Lingchuan slapped the table and stood up: "I'm full!"

Before striding out of the dining room, he took a stewed pear out of the brass basin and ate it as he walked.

This pear has been stewed with rock sugar and pepper for more than half an hour. It is sweet, crispy and soft. It also has the effect of clearing the heart and dispelling the fire. It is suitable for those who have eaten mutton to reduce dryness.

No one stopped him.

When he was about to walk out of the garden, He Lingchuan looked back and saw that the three of them were still sitting around the table eating and discussing, enjoying themselves happily.

He shrugged and walked quickly back to his quarters.

In all fairness, He Chunhua treats the eldest son really well. He Lingchuan exclusively occupies the largest, quietest and most beautiful courtyard in the east, with black pines and white peaches, winding water towers, and even a small martial arts training ground.

Although He Yue's residence is also in Dongtou, the area is only half of that of his elder brother.

The only servant in the courtyard came after hearing the sound, but was waved back by him.

He Lingchuan took off his shirt, and punched for more than half an hour under the moonlight until he was hearty.

The original is not good at literature, but he is good at martial arts since childhood and is not afraid of hardship, which is relatively rare among the sons of the aristocratic family.The ancestors of the He family also produced military generals, and they had their own set of exercises for body training, which was passed on to the eldest son by He Chunhua.

After training to the point of intoxication, the muscular body is shrouded in a layer of light white mist, but it is only obvious under the moonlight.

This was just right, He Lingchuan quickly retracted his fists and sat down, adjusting his breath and breathing.

The white mist was reabsorbed through the mouth and nose bit by bit.

This completes a cycle.

What he practiced was the supernatural power passed down from the He family's ancestors, called "traction technique".

He Lingchuan used the body training technique to force the true energy out of the body surface, making it in close contact with the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, especially the moonlight, and then retrieved it through breath adjustment, dispelling the deadness and preserving the essence.

In this way, one movement and one stillness, one out and one in, one pulling and one pulling, it is completed.

Of course, it is not a problem to use the "traction technique" to complete a week on your own, but starting with body training can stimulate the accumulated cold, dirt, and disease in the body, and the effect of purifying the true energy is better.

After adjusting the breath, He Lingchuan felt more energetic, grabbed the white scarf and went to take a bath.

The hot water was also put by a servant, an honest man in his 30s.

He Lingchuan soaked in the hot water and let out a long breath. It would be nice if someone rubbed his back at this time, it would be comfortable.

Heishui City, as a transportation hub for traveling from south to north, of course also has bathhouses, called "bathhouses". In addition to taking a bath together, back rubbing and pedicures are also routine items.But that was in the bathhouse, Master He couldn't enjoy the back scrub service provided by the little girls at his own home.

because he has no handmaid.

Teenagers, twenties, and even maidservants in their thirties and forties... none of them.

If you want to practice the He family's family martial arts, if you want to get twice the result with half the effort and benefit for life, you have to guarantee your childish body.

When He Lingchuan was a beginner, he was ignorant and didn't know the disadvantages. When he grew up, he saw a group of friends who were happy and happy, so he questioned He Chunhua.As a result, my father beat his chest and stamped his feet.

He Lingchuan was obsessed with martial arts, of course he was not willing to give up halfway, so he endured it.

But He Chunhua didn't want to deliberately test the eldest son's determination, so he didn't put females in his yard.

Sitting in the big wooden barrel, He Lingchuan was thinking about the Xishan leopard monster, the guards of the Donglai mansion caught by Hongbaidao, and the sundries hidden in the leopard's teeth.

When will Donglai Mansion find out that the guards sent to Heishui City have lost contact?
How will they react?
How will the sheriff respond?

Subconsciously, he picked up the necklace on his chest and looked at it twice, then suddenly tore it off and threw it to the garden in the distance.

The necklace drew a parabola in the air and flew over the wall.

After a few breaths, he felt something strange in his chest, and looked down——

The necklace came back by itself, and it stayed on his neck perfectly.

Sure enough, no matter how many times he threw it, the thing would return by itself.

He carefully checked it many times, and although the appearance is very similar, this thing is not made of jade, but a bit like ivory.

After all, ivory and bone are very similar in composition.

On the day he fell off the cliff, he heard the leopard roar a new term:

Divine bone.

Could it be that the necklace pendant, which he has been holding on to for so long, is a divine bone?

……

After dinner, He Yue left, and He Chunhua and his wife went back to wash up.

Only now did Ying Hongchan have the opportunity to scold her husband: "You are too used to Lingchuan. He alone accounts for the majority of the monthly expenses of the mansion! Look again, his attitude of slapping the table and leaving the table!" Arrogant!
"It won't happen next month." He Chunhua reassured her, "He was only seriously injured, and we cut his expenses again, so he will inevitably feel unhappy."

Mrs. Ying wanted to say more, but He Chunhua had already changed the subject: "Do you see any changes in Lingchuan recently?"

"Recently?" Mrs. Ying thought about it carefully, then shook her head, "Except for spending less money, nothing has changed."
