Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.
Chapter 297 Meeting, Zhang Shouxu
After confirming that the talisman was effective, Qiuyue squatted down and looked at the official. "We don't know why we came to ancient times, but since we are here, we should make the best of it. Let's stay here for a while. I think the Zhang family should be at its most prosperous now. You can use this opportunity to learn a lot of knowledge that has been lost. When you return one day, you can use it. However, learning this may be very tiring and difficult. If you can't persist, just tell me. You don't have to learn it."
Seeing Qiuyue squat down to look at him when she spoke, Xiaoguan couldn't help but curl his fingers slightly. He lowered his eyes, shook his head and said, "I can do it."
This was her good intention, and he would continue to study no matter how hard or tiring it was. Moreover, learning these things would indeed be of great benefit to him, and he would understand this.
"My little official is the best."
Qiuyue's heart softened. She raised her hands and hugged him gently, saying, "There will be a group of children about your age coming to school with you. Although they can actually be considered your ancestors, you don't have to care about that. Just treat them as people of your own age. If possible, make a few more friends. I'll protect you, and no one will dare to bully you."
The official sniffed the sweet and pleasant scent on Qiuyue's body, and was distracted for a moment before he hummed in a low voice.
At this time, in the main hall.
"Clan leader, why did you let a group of children disturb Lin Zu? The children taught by the three head instructors can actually be shared among the other instructors."
"Yes, clan leader, if any of these children displeases Lin Zu, then our Zhang family will be finished, right?"
"I think the patriarch has come up with a good idea."
"What a good idea, tell me about it."
"This ancestor Qilin is a woman. Didn't some children disrespect her on the way here? But Ancestor Qilin didn't seem angry!"
"That's because Lin Zu is magnanimous and doesn't bother with children!"
"I don't agree with this anyway. We must respect this Lin Zu."
"I think……"
The Zhang family leader listened to the elders' debate and couldn't help but feel his temples throbbing. He said, "Alright, elders, please be quiet for a moment."
The Zhang family head obviously had great authority, and the elders instantly fell silent. The Zhang family head coughed lightly and said, "What the Ninth Elder said is correct. I did make this decision after seeing how gentle Lin Zu was with the children. Since Lord Lin Zu was willing to personally send the last generation of Qi Ling here to prolong the life of our Zhang family, it means that she has a good impression of our Zhang family. Now we send the most outstanding children of this generation over. If Lord Lin Zu is pleased, perhaps she will reward the children with something. Prolonging the life of the Zhang family in the future is certainly important, but our Zhang family at this moment is also important, isn't it?"
"But clan leader, what if a child really angers Lord Linzu? How can you guarantee that Lord Linzu won't become disgusted with our Zhang family because of this?"
The leading elder with white hair and beard couldn't help but speak. The Zhang family head's eyes lit up and said, "Great Elder, do you still remember how Lady Linzu shielded the last Qi Ling behind her? Lady Linzu was so careful to protect that child, which shows how much she values that child. I want to take a gamble and bet that Lady Linzu has a high favorability towards our Zhang family, so high that even if she gets angry, she won't destroy our Zhang family. After all, she wants to prolong our Zhang family's life, and she won't destroy the Zhang family in anger just for a few children."
"What the patriarch said makes sense. I agree with his decision."
"Shan, I agree with this decision."
"I also……"
The explanation given by the head of the Zhang family successfully persuaded many elders, but at this time, the ninth elder had new doubts.
"Clan leader, aren't there over seventy children being taught by the three great instructors? Why did you tell Lord Linzu that there were only over forty?"
The Ninth Elder's words immediately silenced the other elders. The Eighth Elder, who was standing next to the Ninth Elder, muttered something like "over forty." Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and his eyes widened. He said, "Chief, what are you planning to do..."
The Zhang family head said calmly, "It's time for our Zhang family to make some changes. Children need to be taught differently from time to time."
"Oh... So at this time in the Zhang family, boys and girls were taught separately."
Qiuyue looked at the forty or so boys who were busy setting up the martial arts training area outside the hall, and murmured in surprise. After all, in modern times, the Zhang family taught both boys and girls together.
Xiaoguan stood beside Qiuyue and looked at the boys outside who were about his age. He couldn't help but frowned slightly. He always felt that something was wrong. The Zhang family has always trained their children regardless of gender.
"In reply to Master Lin Zu, our Zhang family does teach boys and girls separately. Would you like to call these children in to see them?"
An extremely deep and magnetic male voice sounded slowly. Qiuyue shook her head and said, "No, the children are busy. I won't disturb them. It's not too late to see them when they are free."
The man paused, then said, "Yes, thank you, Master Linzu, for your tolerance."
Qiuyue turned her head to look at him, and finally began to look at the servant sent by the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Shouxu.
This man was tall and slender, and it was estimated that he was still over 1.9 meters tall. His appearance inherited the Zhang family's super good looks as always, but the most outstanding thing was not his face, but the extremely dangerous aura that emanated from his whole body. According to his own introduction, he was the leader of the punishment team of this generation of the clan, and was specially transferred here by the clan leader. Qiuyue did not expect that the head of the Zhang family would actually send such a person to be a servant. She always felt that it was a bit of a waste of talent.
"you…"
Qiuyue had just opened her mouth when she realized she had forgotten her tone again, and quickly changed her words: "Since you are the leader of the Zhang family's disciplinary team this generation, why were you sent here? All I need is a small attendant."
Zhang Shouxu knelt on the ground as soon as he arrived. Although Qiuyue was not used to it, she was a Qilin after all and had to be upright, so she could only let him kneel. He never raised his eyes to look at Qiuyue from beginning to end, and his eyes were always on the hem of her embroidered skirt that fell to the ground.
"Replying to Lin Zu, the clan leader has expelled me from the punishment team. From now on, I will be your attendant."
Zhang Shouxu's response directly blocked Qiuyue's words that she wanted to continue to refuse. She originally thought that he would serve as her attendant while being the leader, but she didn't expect that the head of the Zhang family would directly remove him from his position. If she refused again, she would definitely be punished by the head of the Zhang family when she returned. You know, this is an ancient place with strict rules, not to mention a family as strict as the Zhang family.
But even so, Qiuyue still turned to the official and asked, "What do you think, official? If you don't like it, I will ask the Zhang family leader to replace him with another servant."
Xiaoguan didn't expect Qiuyue to ask for his opinion. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "That's good."
Qiuyue nodded, then looked at the man who had been kneeling in front of her and said slowly, "Then I'll leave everything to you from now on. Get up. You don't need to be so polite in my place."
Zhang Shouxu was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded in a low voice: "Yes."
He stood up with his head lowered, still not looking at Qiuyue, but he couldn't help but recall what Qiuyue had just said in his mind.
Please?
It was the first time he heard a superior use such words to address a servant.
Qiuyue had no idea that her pretentiousness had revealed something. Her eyes fell on the clothes he brought. They were clothes for minor officials, an exquisite navy blue dress that looked very luxurious and expensive. However, Qiuyue couldn't help but have a question.
"Little official, don't you know how to wear this kind of clothes?"
Qiuyue looked at the several layers of clothes and couldn't help asking. Xiaoguan also saw it. He was silent for a while before he nodded. He really wouldn't wear that kind of clothes.
"Is that so? Then Shouxu, please teach me how to put it on."
Qiuyue called Zhang Shouxu without thinking. Her idea was simple. Zhang Shouxu knew how to dress, so she could let him teach her. But Zhang Shouxu didn't think so. He was stunned by Qiuyue calling his name so easily.
Generally speaking, apart from familiar elders and close people, few people would call someone by their name directly.
Could it be that Lord Qilin doesn’t care about these things?
However, despite his doubts, Zhang Shouxu still responded. Just as he was about to lead the last generation of Qiling to the side hall to change clothes, Qiuyue suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a whitening talisman and said, "I almost forgot. You have been outside for so long, your body must be dirty. This is a whitening talisman, which can cleanse the dust and dirt on your body. Take it and stick it on your body."
Qiuyue did not stick the talisman directly on Xiaoguan, but chose to let him do it himself, because she knew that this would make Xiaoguan more relaxed.
Since she knew that he had temporarily forgotten her because he had become smaller, it meant that he was not very familiar with her at the moment. According to his personality, he might not trust her very much. She had to take care of his emotions and not be too self-righteous to help him with this and that. The reason why she asked him every question along the way was because she didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable.
The humble official understood all of this, and when he took the purification talisman, he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.
As the mythical Qilin, Qiuyue could have actually been in charge of everything for him, but she didn't. All along the way, she had been taking care of his emotions and thoughts, and treating him with a completely equal attitude. How could he not feel warm and at ease?
After taking the whitening talisman, the official didn't even hesitate and directly stuck the talisman paper on his arm. When he felt his body became very refreshed and comfortable in an instant, he still couldn't help being surprised. It was really magical.
