Chapter 30: Returning Home at Night

The driver pulled the rickshaw, and the wheels on both sides rolled on the ground, rubbing against each other and producing ghostly lights, which were erratic and unpredictable. He looked like an experienced expert who had raised a household spirit.

Yu Que sat on it and didn't feel any shaking at all. Moreover, the speed of the rickshaw was even faster than that of the ghost horse-drawn carriage.

Not long after, the other party dragged him to the outside of the Fu clan.

Yu Que did not let the driver take him into the clan's land, but got off the rickshaw and walked inside on his own, to avoid the driver being stopped and both of them being questioned.

Before entering the Fu Clan, he paused slightly, still wondering whether he should take off his robe of refining virtue and go in quietly.

But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​keeping a low profile, shook his robe, and walked inside with a swagger.

Now is the time for him to show his presence more within the clan, and he should not hide things when he can brag about it.

Unfortunately, Yu Que passed by the night patrol. It was quite dark and the patrol just recognized his appearance and passed by. No one noticed the robe on him.

So Yu Que sighed lightly and came to a tube-shaped building with ease.

In the night, the moon had not yet risen to the zenith, and his shadow was stretched out into a long thin line.

He walked up to the fourth floor in a hurry. Before he entered the house, he heard bursts of voices coming from the house. It was his uncle and aunt discussing something, and it seemed that his cousin Fu Yun was also there.

"Have you really decided not to go to school?"

"Father, I still think we can't let her do what she wants. She's so young, how can she not go to school? If this is the case, I'm afraid she will only be able to become a servant in the future."

My uncle and aunt's voices were a little heavy, and they spoke one after another.

Yu Que listened for a few times and understood what was going on, so he stopped eavesdropping and went in directly.

Click, the sound of the door lock shaking was heard.

The conversation in the room stopped abruptly, and everyone looked towards the door. When they saw it was Yu Que, they were even more surprised.

"Why did you come back so late at night? Didn't you go to work in the store?"

Yu Que replied: "No, I've already quit my job and don't need to go to that ghost store anymore."

Unexpectedly, after he said this, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become even heavier.

"elder brother."

The eldest cousin, Fu Yun, was huddled in a chair, hugging her knees. She only raised her head and called Yu Que once, then lowered her head and said nothing again, without any of the courage and spirit she had in the ancestral hall.

Yu Que pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What happened today? Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Alas, this child." The aunt sighed, "It's just right that you are back today, try to persuade her. I have told her several times in the past few days, but she just won't listen."

Yu Que sat down and listened carefully.

Soon, he knew the source of the anxious atmosphere at home.

It turned out that after Fu Yun sent the little beast away, the clan only let her rest at home for a few days. However, during this period of time, she only went to school once and never went again, and she even had the idea of ​​dropping out.

These days, her uncle and aunt have been constantly trying to persuade her to not care about other people's comments and continue going to school.

In the living room, Fu Yun suddenly raised his head and said:
"What those people say has nothing to do with me. I just think that the school in the clan is really useless, it's better for me to go out and work early.

If I can become an apprentice to draw talismans, I can not only supplement my family income, but also have extra points when I take the imperial examinations in the future because I have special skills.”

My aunt got even angrier. "You only know that studying is useless, but other things are useful? You even want to be an apprentice of talisman painting. Your parents are incompetent. You can only work hard there. How can you learn anything?"

In a rage, she even pulled Yu Que over and said, "Look at your brother Yu Que, he is still an apprentice under the master of alchemy. Do you think he has it easy? He goes out late and comes back late every day. He hardly lives a normal life. He was sent back again today!"

Yu Que felt a little helpless.

At this time, the uncle also spoke: "Yun'er, your idea is good. But if you really want to learn how to draw talismans, our family is really, alas, it's your father's fault that he has no ability." This time, Fu Yun was silent. She hugged her legs and stopped talking.

“Drawing talismans is good!”

But at this moment, the sound of clapping was heard among several people.

Yu Que's expression was completely different from the others' heavy expressions. He smiled and said:
"Drawing talismans can indeed add extra points in the future examinations, and is indeed a shortcut to entering the county school."

My aunt was a little anxious: "You kid! She has the brains, but does our family have the money and connections?"

Yu Que smiled but said nothing. He simply stood up and shook his robe in front of the people in the room.
“There wasn’t one before, but now, there is one.”

The aunt looked at the gray robe of Liandu in confusion, and only felt that the texture of the robe was somewhat good, while the uncle took a few glances, stood up suddenly, and the tables and chairs made a clatter.

His uncle's expression was very strange, containing a mixture of disbelief, doubt and surprise, even more complicated than the last time Yu Que showed the family god.

My aunt and cousin Fu Yun were both confused, and their eyes kept moving between my uncle and Yu Que.

It was not until a long time later that the uncle asked cautiously, "Is this robe yours?"

I have some shortcomings.

"You, you joined the Liandu Guild?!" My uncle's voice sounded a little strange.

When my aunt and cousin Fu Yun heard it, they were both dumbfounded. Their eyes widened and they understood.

Ding!

Yu Que did not hide his joy. In front of his family, he smiled and said, "Yes!"

As he spoke, he turned around and took off his robe, handing it to the other two for inspection. On the robe was embroidered Yu Que's name and the date he wore it.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the house changed from heavy to solemn, and then to serious!

My uncle looked at the robe on the dining table cautiously, and my aunt stood nearby, not daring to even touch it.

In the past, she had difficulty even meeting a master of alchemy. She never expected that today, a master of alchemy would appear in their family?
My aunt felt like she was in a dream, it was unbelievable.

"Good, good, good!" It was still the uncle who held the robe, raised his head, and said excitedly: "It has only been a short time, and you have passed the examination for the master of alchemy. I thought you were fired by that damn shop, but now it seems that the family has to thank it!"

When Yu Que heard this, he quickly stopped his uncle and explained that he had indeed been driven away, and had been driven away more than ten days ago, but had only found time to come back tonight.

So, besides the sounds of joy in the house, there was a burst of curses against Zheng Laohei:

"My family has a son who is such a talented person. That old man is really blind!"

Yu Que waited until his uncle and aunt calmed down before he looked at his cousin Fu Yun and rubbed the girl's head vigorously.

He smiled and said, "Your brother is about to become rich. You don't have to go to the Fu family's school, let alone be an apprentice in a talisman shop. Go to the talisman painting studio, so you can learn to paint talismans without distraction."

Cousin Fu Yun's eyes lit up instantly: "Brother, thank you."

"We're a family, there's no need to thank me." Yu Que grabbed the girl's head hard again.

The uncle and aunt on the side were still holding the Liandu robe, examining it inch by inch.

Suddenly, my aunt quickly took out a clothes hanger, a basin, and a mallet, as if she wanted to go outside to wash the robes in the middle of the night and announce it to everyone.

Yu Que looked at the joy of his family members and felt that this scene was more comforting than when he was envied by everyone in the restaurant and praised by Qian Huazhen!
He suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and couldn't help thinking:

"Wealth and honor that do not return home are like a man in fine clothes walking at night."

Soon, my aunt couldn't help herself and walked towards the corridor with the laundry basin in her arms, making quite a noise...
