How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 197 A Lucky Accident, Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Eighteen always complained that Xi Huaizhou was too weak, and that his second niece would have to protect him if anything happened in the future. "I have another job to do."

"What kind of work?" It shouldn't be rough work, right?
"Patrol. From today onwards, you will patrol and train with the soldiers." Even if he couldn't protect his second niece, he couldn't hold her back.

"..." His maternal grandfather sent him out to relax, not to suffer.

Eighteen saw that he was still unwilling and became unhappy. "Are you even a man? If you are, go on patrol; if not, go after your grandfather."

Xi Huaizhou could hardly believe his ears. He looked at Qian Laifu, as if to say, "You're just going to let him talk to me like that?"

Qian Laifu: It's no use looking at me. I used to listen to my granddaughter, but now I listen to both my granddaughter and my youngest son.

Eighteen glared at him. "Why are you looking at my dad? If you come to my house in the future, I'll be your uncle. What's wrong with me scolding you a little? Look at you, you're as skinny as a monkey. How are you going to protect my second niece? I don't expect you to become a martial arts master who can take on a hundred people, but you can't hold my second niece back, can you?"

Qian Laifu looked at the sky and the ground but not at Xi Huaizhou.

Xi Huaizhou looked at Xiaogou Sheng again.

The little dog smiled at Xi Huaizhou. "Studying is actually a physical activity."

Xi Huaizhou wanted to leave. However, it was too dangerous for a frail scholar like him to travel alone. He just wanted to get away for a while, not to commit suicide.

Seeing him dawdling, Shiba pushed him to the ground. "See, you can't even beat a little kid like me."

Xi Huaizhou: "..."

"Get up, I'll find a few people to patrol with you."

Xi Huaizhou stood up resignedly. "Thank you for your trouble."

"Okay, let's go."

"it is good."

After Shiba left with Xi Huaizhou, Qian Laifu immediately leaned close to his granddaughter and whispered, "Why is he so weak?"

The little dog laughed as soon as it heard that. "Eighteen's slap just now wasn't just a random push."

"What do you mean?"

“That spot is an acupoint. Let alone a frail scholar like him, even a strong man would have to sit on the ground.”

"what?"

Xiao Gou Sheng looked at Qian Laifu and laughed, "Your youngest son is quite cunning."

Qian Laifu thought it was good to be a little shrewd. "Your uncle is just doing this for your second sister's own good."

"Okay. Let's go back too."

"it is good."

During their lunch break, Wei Chenglin noticed a thin soldier patrolling nearby and casually asked, "Qian Gousheng, aren't all your soldiers supposed to be very imposing? How come there's this weakling here?"

“He’s not one of my soldiers; he’s my second sister’s fiancé.”

"Your second sister's... he is Xi Huaizhou?" Wei Chenglin could hardly believe his ears.

"Ah."

"You actually sent him on patrol? Do you know how learned he is?"

The puppy, Sheng, said, "Of course we know."

"Then why are you still sending him on patrol?!"

Eighteen frowned. "Nephew Wei, why are you so surprised? Didn't you say he was weak and frail?"

"He is a scholar." Isn't it normal for scholars to be frail and weak?
Eighteen raised an eyebrow: "Scholars don't get married?"

What does this have to do with getting married? "Get married."

"If you get married, do you still want to have children?"

"Yes."

"How can he protect his wife and children when he's so thin?" "This..."

The eighteen-year-old looked Wei Chenglin up and down. “Nephew Wei, I see you’re quite weak too. Why don’t you train and patrol with the soldiers?”

Wei Chenglin: "..." Why does he have to patrol too? "I am an imperial censor."

"What does this have to do with you being an imperial censor? Even imperial censors have to protect their wives and children."

Wei Chenglin knew that the Qian family was run by a nobody named Xiao Gousheng. "Fourth Miss Qian?"

Miss Qian wanted to laugh. "Well, Uncle, we still need your nephew Wei to bluff us."

Wei Chenglin: "Yes, yes, yes. If others knew that I patrolled with the soldiers, they wouldn't be afraid of me."

Eighteen didn't really want him to go on patrol. Eighteen just didn't want him involved in disciplining his second nephew-in-law. "Alright. When we get back to the capital, I'll ask the Emperor to give you a different military rank. You're too weak."

"No, no, no. Um, Uncle, are you tired? Let me massage your legs." Although he didn't want to be an official, he knew the Emperor's temperament. The Emperor clearly liked Qian Gousheng and Qian Shiba, otherwise, how could the Emperor have brought him over so easily after they mentioned it?

Shiba glanced at Wei Chenglin sideways. "I'm not tired. Don't worry about things unnecessarily in the future."

"Alright, alright, I won't worry about it anymore. But please, whatever you do, don't go and tell the Emperor that I should be made a military officer. I'll die, really."

"I understand. Don't talk about death so easily in the future, it's bad luck."

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore."

"good."

Under the torment of being eighteen, Xi Huaizhou was exhausted like a dog and had no time for sentimentality.

Wei Chenglin felt sorry for Xi Huaizhou, but... but he dared not say anything.

Fortunately, Xi Huaizhou adapted after a while.

After adapting, Xi Huaizhou gradually grew stronger.

Eighteen was very satisfied. "Not bad, I'll give you an extra chicken leg tonight."

Xi Huaizhou was already used to Shi Ba speaking to him in an elder's tone. "Thank you, Uncle."

"good."

Wei Chenglin teased Shiba: "Uncle, I want to eat chicken legs too."

“Alright. I heard from the Master that your poems are better than before. The Master said that your poems used to be written like those of a three-year-old, but now they are written like those of a seven or eight-year-old.”

Wei Chenglin: "..." Why did he have to be so talkative? He wasn't greedy. "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle."

"good."

Xi Huaizhou had not only become stronger, but his mental state had also improved. "Brother Wei, congratulations."

"Get lost!" Wei Chenglin raised his foot and kicked Xi Huaizhou. He couldn't kick Shiba Inu, but he couldn't kick him? They were peers.

"Hahahaha..." Xi Huaizhou nimbly dodged. "Brother Wei, I'm not the same person I used to be. Now I can fight on horseback and write poetry on foot."

Wei Chenglin was even angrier. "Look at you, so capable? You've only been practicing for a few days! Twenty, he bullied me."

Twenty sighed inwardly. Which of the two was the son? "Uncle Xi, you still need more practice if you want to ride a horse and fight the enemy. Dad, you don't make a living by writing poetry."

Eighteen: "That's right, everyone sit down, the food is ready."

The two obediently sat down at the dining table.

The post station workers: This group of people is really strange. The officials don't act like officials, and the children don't act like children.

The little dog, Sheng, knew that Xi Huaizhou had moved on from his parents' troubles when he saw that Xi Huaizhou was in the mood to joke. Her uncle's actions were a lucky accident, a win-win situation.

The little dog and his group successfully entered the territory of Liaoyang Prefecture, the northernmost part of the prefecture.

Just as Xiaogou Sheng was about to discuss with the others what to do next, he heard someone shout, "Robbery!"

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Are these robbers blind? Didn't they see how strong and well-equipped they are? No, she was supposed to take a different route today, but her master said she should take this route today.
