Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 260 Goodbye Qingqing
"Senior Uncle, you have been staying for several days now, and it is time for me to take my leave. I will visit you again when I have time, and you are welcome to come to the provincial capital anytime."

The following morning, after breakfast, Guan Shaoqing also got up to say goodbye to Shi Jian.

Shi Shaojian was not there, because he was still being held in solitary confinement by Shi Jian.

"Alright, Shaoqing, as the young marshal, you must have a lot to deal with, so I won't keep you any longer. But if you have time in the future, please come and visit me more often. If there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian smiled and replied with a gentle and kind attitude.

If Uncle Nine and the others saw this scene, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets, because Shi Jian's attitude was really too rare.

"Don't worry, Senior Uncle. I will definitely come more often when I have time. If I need any help from you, I will certainly not be polite. I will need your help in the future. Also, if you find a suitable marriage partner for Junior Brother Shaojian, please remember to let me know."

"I will certainly not forget to inform Shaoqing when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian nodded, and made up his mind to resolve Shi Shaojian's marriage arrangements.

Shi Jian felt that Guan Shaoqing's words last night were very true and opened up a new way of thinking for him. Since his son was useless, why didn't he get him married and have a few grandchildren sooner? If his son was useless, he could still teach his grandchildren properly. Why waste his energy on this useless son?

If your main account isn't working, try creating a secondary account.

Shi Jian felt that Guan Shaoqing's idea was absolutely right, which made him feel enlightened.

"Then, Senior Uncle, I shall take my leave."

"Okay, come more often when you have time."

"must."

And so, Guan Shaoqing, who had stayed with his senior uncle Shi Jian for a few days, took his leave.

After Guan Shaoqing took his leave...

Shi Jian then began to think about and busy himself with Shi Shaojian's marriage.
-
"quack--"

"Whoa whoa--"

"Gah-"

"."

"Jiale! Jiale!—"

Two days later.

Early in the morning, amidst the clucking of chickens, ducks, and geese in the yard, Si Mu's voice rang out from inside the house.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Jiale, who was feeding the poultry in the yard, stopped what he was doing when he heard the noise.

creak-

Si Mu opened the door, looked at Jia Le, glanced at the flock of poultry in the yard, and then pointed to a large goose, saying, "We'll kill that goose and cook it later."

"Ah, Master, is today some important day? Why did you suddenly decide to kill a goose?" Jiale asked in surprise.

"What? Can't we kill geese if it's not an important day? Does Master need to pick a time to eat geese?" Simu said habitually, then added, "Your senior brother is coming over later, remember to hurry up."

"Our senior brother is coming."

Jiale was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly assured him.

"Don't worry, Master, leave it to me."

As he spoke, Jiale immediately got to work, happily slaughtering the goose.

"Jiale, why are you killing a goose so early in the morning?"

Soon, Master Yideng and his apprentice Qingqing next door also noticed the situation on Jiale's side and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's Master and Qingqing. I have good news for you. My senior brother is coming soon, so Master asked me to kill a goose."

Jiale said happily that he liked his senior brother Guan Shaoqing very much. After all, he had bought him clothes and given him money. Where could you find such a good senior brother?

"Senior Brother Shaoqing is coming!"

Upon hearing this, Qingqing was overjoyed. Then, glancing at her ordinary attire, she quickly turned and ran back into the house.

"Master, I'm going to change my clothes."

Seeing this, Ikkyu could only shake his head helplessly: "Girls grow up and leave home." How could he not know what Qingqing was thinking?

"Qingqing has been thinking about Senior Brother all this time. Well, now Senior Brother has finally arrived."

Jiale smiled and said that he was a sincere person and had originally harbored some feelings for Qingqing, but after realizing that Qingqing was clearly devoted to his senior brother, he gave up those feelings. At this moment, Simu happened to come out of the house and looked at Yixiu with schadenfreude.

"Monk, your disciple is about to be seduced by my nephew. Let's see how you'll fight me now, hmph."

After saying that, Si Mu even let out a snort like a victorious general.

"Shaoqing is skilled in both martial arts and is a hero of our time. If Qingqing can really be with Shaoqing, I would be more than happy to see them together."

Upon hearing this, Ikkyu was not angry; instead, he chuckled and said...

"As expected of a prestigious sect, Maoshan produces outstanding disciples, especially Shaoqing. But now it seems that I, a monk, can also benefit from Shaoqing's success."

Gah!
The smile on the face of the smug man, Si Mu, froze when he heard Ikkyu's words.

Yes, if my nephew, Shaoqing, really marries Ikkyu's disciple, wouldn't this old monk also be related to him and benefit from his nephew's fame?

So, did I lose or gain something?
moment.

The four of them, who had been feeling quite smug, suddenly lost their good mood.

"Hmph, no matter what, Shaoqing is my junior disciple, not yours."

Finally, Si Mu gave a cold snort and turned away.
-
"Uncle-Master, Junior Brother, Qingqing, Master Ikkyu."

After half an hour.

Guan Shaoqing arrived at Simu's place and greeted the four people who were welcoming him at the door: Simu, Jiale, Qingqing, and Yixiu, with a smile.

"Big brother."

"Senior Brother Shaoqing."

"My nephew has arrived."

"Amitabha."

The four of them greeted Guan Shaoqing with smiles on their faces, especially Qingqing, who was visibly excited.

"I didn't prepare any special gifts for this visit to my uncle and master. I just bought a few simple things as a small token of my appreciation. Please don't find them offensive."

Guan Shaoqing smiled and took out the gifts he had brought.

"Nephew, you're too kind. There's no need for any gifts when you come to your uncle's place. I already told you last time, remember not to do it again next time."

Si Mu immediately responded upon hearing this, though he was still quite pleased, since his junior apprentice bringing a gift was a token of his affection.

"Amitabha, you're too kind, Shaoqing."

Ikkyu also said.

"It's just a small gift, a token of my appreciation to my uncle and master. Please don't find it offensive. Also, Jiale and Qingqing, I've brought a gift for each of you. Please see if you like it."

Guan Shaoqing smiled and then took out two gift boxes from his body, one black and one pink, and handed them to Jiale and Qingqing.

"Senior brother, what's inside?"

Upon hearing this, the two happily stepped forward to accept it, while also asking questions out of curiosity.

"You'll know when you open it and take a look."

Guan Shaoqing smiled and said that the two of them opened their gift boxes as instructed. They immediately saw a watch in each of their gift boxes. Jia Le's gift box contained a men's watch, while Qingqing's gift box contained a pink women's watch, which matched Qingqing's outfit today. Qingqing was wearing a pink dress today, which made her look youthful and beautiful.

"watch!"

The two looked at the gift with delight, something that was a rare sight these days.

"Thank you, senior brother."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Shaoqing."

After the two opened the gifts and thanked them, Si Mu said, "Let's go, Shaoqing, let's go inside first. Jiale, go and see if the stew is ready."

"Yes, yes, senior brother, why don't you go inside and sit with Master and the Grandmaster? The food will be ready soon, and we can eat in no time."

"."

And so Guan Shaoqing came to Simu again.

Guan Shaoqing's purpose in coming here was simply to pay a visit and make some connections.
