Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 102 Five Elements Missing Brother

  The old lady made a decision and smiled kindly at A Xing: "Listen to A Hao that your name is A Xing."

  Axing nodded cautiously.

"how old are you?"

   "Sixteen years old." In front of the old lady, Ah Xing put away the thorns and replied obediently.

   He saw with his own eyes that his younger brother was white after taking a bath, put on clean and thick clothes, lay on the soft bed, and drank fragrant rice porridge.

   At that moment, he was very sure that if he stayed here and lived such a life, his younger brother would definitely grow up well.

  In hindsight, he had a strong desire to stay.

   Sweeping the floor or burning a fire, no matter how hard or tiring, as long as you can stay, it is infinitely better than returning to the underside of the bridge.

   For this, he had to be good-natured.

  Axing is very smart, which is the reason why he and his younger brother had a good appearance and did not fall into a more miserable situation.

   Looking at the well-behaved and beautiful boy, the old lady smiled: "Same year as Ah Hao."

   Ah Xing couldn't help but glance at Lin Hao.

  The girl has changed her clothes. The half-new ivory white jacket and the light green pleated skirt are like a mountain stream and spring water, which is beautiful and unparalleled.

   He retracted his gaze and heard the old lady ask again, "In what month?"

"February."

   "That's a few months older than Ah."

  A Xing felt weird listening to it.

  Why do you always compare yourself with this girl, no, the second girl?

  Axing knew Lin Hao's identity from the title of the general's servants, and also knew that if he wanted to stay, he could no longer show his suspicion of Lin Hao's defense.

   "Ah Xing, Ah Hao wants to become a righteous brother and sister with you, are you willing?" the old lady asked warmly.

  A Xing suddenly looked at Lin Hao, unable to hide his shock.

   Did he hear it wrong? Or do you have a wrong understanding of "brothers and sisters"?

  A Xing felt a turbulent wave in his heart, but what he saw was a girl who was calm and smiling.

   He subconsciously refused: "No—"

Meeting the old lady's slightly startled gaze, A Xing blushed and knelt down: "I... I'm just a beggar, how can I become a righteous brother and sister with the second girl? It's a good thing to be able to take in my brother and me to do chores here. Great grace..."

  The old lady was quite satisfied with Ah Xing's response. There are few people in the General's Mansion. Ah Hao feels that he is a good match, and if the people are good, having two more grandchildren is not a bad thing.

   Lin's good voice sounded: "Ah Xing, there is no shortage of servants in my family."

  A Xing knelt on the ground and looked up at her.

  Lin Hao curled his lips: "Is it bad to be my brother?"

"But--"

  Lin Hao interrupted him: "But my family really has no shortage of chores."

   Ah Xing didn't know what to say, his head was swollen, he just felt that what happened today was unbelievable.

   The old lady smiled and said, "That's it. Ah good, take Ah Xing around the mansion to get acquainted with the situation at home."

  Lin said yes and pulled Ah Xing, who looked sluggish.

  A Xing followed Lin Hao out in confusion.

   The outside is open, and when the cold wind blows, Ah Xing comes back to his senses, and walks away beside Lin Hao without saying a word, listening to her talk about the situation of the General's Mansion.

   "The situation in Fuchu is almost like this. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it for a while, you will become familiar with it after a long time."

   "Why?" Ah Xing finally couldn't help but speak.

  Lin Hao looked sideways at him.

  A Xing's pretty face was full of confusion: "I'm just a beggar, you are a lady, why do you recognize me as your elder brother?"

   Are you kidding him?

   Let him get used to the life of brocade clothes and jade food, the status that everyone envies, and then drive him out to become a little beggar who everyone hates living in the bridge hole?

   Arranging the fate of others, would you be very happy?

   Such speculation made Ah Xing's eyes slide with disgust.

  Lin looked at his expression and guessed it. He twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "What are you thinking about? Do you think I'm busy and am making fun of you?"

   Ah Xing, who obviously rescued her, is pitiful, soft and kind-hearted. How could Ah Xing who stole her purse look like a little hedgehog?

   Thinking of this, Lin Hao was startled and seemed to understand the reason.

   Is the cause of acquaintance different?

   In the past life, A Xing was a rescuer, so naturally he would not think that she would harm him. In this life, A Xing is a villain who attempted robbery, and her actions are too unreasonable in A Xing's eyes.

   It seems that Axing must be given a passable reason so that he can live with peace of mind.

  Lin Hao stroked his smooth forehead and looked solemn: "Do you really want to know?"

   Ah Xing did not speak, but nodded.

  Lin took a good look left and right, and lowered his voice: "There is a very powerful gentleman who has fortune-telling for me, saying that I-"

   Seeing her so serious, Ah Xing raised her heart and held her breath.

   "Say I lack a brother in the Five Elements."

  Axing slipped and almost fell, but fortunately he was held back by Lin Hao.

   "The five elements are missing... brother?" Ah Xing almost squeezed out these four words.

   If I hadn't been able to offend her, I really wanted to beat her up...

   Lin Hao nodded: "Really, why else would I take you home and try to convince my family?"

  Axing looked at the girl's expression carefully, and saw only seriousness.

   Is it true?

  Axing was startled by this thought, and spurned herself in her heart: she was almost fooled by this girl.

  The words have already been said here, and if you question him again, you will cause trouble for yourself. Ah Xing nodded slightly, which is considered to be the reason for Lin Hao's approval.

  Lin was relieved.

   It's so difficult to repay her favor. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if she found someone who blocked the flying knife for her.

   "Ah Xing, what are your plans?"

   Ah Xing looked over.

  Lin Hao brushed away the slanting branches: "Would you like to be like Little Moon and learn to read with Mr.

  A Xing hurriedly shook his head: "No need."

   After being silent for a while, Ah Xing said, "I know a few words, enough for daily life."

  Lin Hao was a little surprised.

   I didn’t have the chance to learn more about it in my previous life, but I didn’t expect Ah Xing to be literate.

   In Da Zhou, most of the children who have the opportunity to study are from wealthy backgrounds.

   Seeing that A Xing was reluctant to say more, Lin Hao was not curious to inquire: "Then do you want to learn some boxing and kung fu to pass the time?"

   Ah Xing's eyes lit up: "Can you practice martial arts?"

   If you can learn kung fu, even if you leave here, you can protect your brother and grow up safely.

  Lin nodded with a smile: "Of course you can, this is the general's mansion, and any servant is good at it."

   "I do."

   "Then you come with me."

  Axing is willing to learn something, Lin Hao is very happy.

  The world is impermanent, the backer will fall, and the critical moment is still up to you. If she hadn't practiced martial arts with her grandfather, she wouldn't even have the chance to escape from Wen Mansion in her previous life.

  Lin Hao took Ah Xing to the front yard.

  Uncle Liu was chopping wood.

   "Uncle Liu." Lin Hao walked over, looking relaxed in the face of the close and trusting elders, "Don't be busy, I have something to ask you."

   "What's the matter?" Uncle Liu put down the axe and looked at Ah Xing next to Lin Hao.

   "This is my adopted brother, who will live at home in the future. Could you please spare some time every day to teach him martial arts?"

   Liu Bo was shocked: "When did the second girl have a righteous brother?"

   "Just today. Uncle Liu, can you?"

   Liu Bo looked at A Xing a few times and pulled Lin Hao aside: "Second girl, are you reliable?"

   "Reliable."

   "That's fine, as long as he can endure hardship, just practice with me."

  Uncle Liu agreed, turned his head and learned from others that Ah Xing was a beggar picked up by the second girl.

  Uncle Liu sighed: Good looks, so lucky.

  The fact that Miss Lin brought back a beautiful boy was soon discovered by Changning, the servant girl who paid special attention to her next-door neighbor, Prince Jing.

  Changning hurriedly went to tell his son.

   Qi Shuo is reading in the garden.

   said it was reading, but in fact, the book in his hand had not been turned over for a long time, so he quietly rested it on his lap.

   Chang Shun advised: "Sir, if you are tired, why don't you go back to your room and sleep."

  Why does the prince have a soft spot for this place?

   He glanced at the high wall subconsciously, and came up with a guess: Could it be because Miss Lin climbed over the wall?

  No, no, Shizi is not such a person.

   At this moment, Chang Ning trotted over: "Sir, I have some news, and I want to report it to you."
