No one asked Heizi and Heizi's mother to stand up, and no one came forward to help them. They just kept kneeling like that.

Tao Jin added, "She's a good citizen now, but she looks...it's not easy for her to go out, so she needs to be taken care of."

This figure and half of the face would indeed attract too much attention if he went out, and wearing a hat all the time and refusing to see anyone would definitely arouse suspicion and he would be caught as a fugitive.

The important thing is that his body looks even weaker than when he was in exile. Even kneeling there makes him feel like he has lost his energy and spirit. It really takes time to recuperate.

Qin Yongcheng and the old lady had some vague ideas, but they still didn't quite understand what Tao Jin meant.

Jing Yongcheng lowered his voice and asked, "Young Master Tao just said he wanted to celebrate the New Year with us?"

Jing Changning frowned slightly. He hadn't heard this sentence just now. The three of them were dressed ordinary, but when he thought of the gorgeous carriage at the door that his sister-in-law mentioned, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Tao Jin: "Master Zhang who came yesterday gave us a heads-up. The county magistrate is also one of our men. They won't make things difficult for you."

Jing Changning's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, because Master Zhang's eyes had been staring at him, which made him unable to sleep well last night. He didn't dare to tell his father and mother immediately. Now he actually said that he was someone who could take care of them. It was really incredible, and finally the stone hanging in the air was gently put down.

But is this considered a bargain with them? I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Jing Chunxi cursed Tao Jin secretly. She would not have been so angry if he had not told her the terms of exchange. As a result, the little good impression she had of Tao Jin suddenly disappeared. She suddenly felt that he was a villain who would only do something for the sake of profit.

Tao Jin added, "There's no one at home."

When he said this, he glanced at Jing Chunxi. Then he added, "I brought New Year gifts for the old lady and the old general in the car. I hope you don't mind."

Jing Chunxi cursed in his heart: What do you think of our Jing family? If you don’t bring New Year gifts, we won’t give you food to eat?

Seeing that no one spoke, Tao Jin cleared his throat and said, "Take the things down and leave in the carriage. Actually, what I mean is that I just want others to know that someone is protecting you."

Jing Chunxi: Why don't you say you're here to show off? You're just showing off like a peacock. You should be taking off the fig leaf from your face.

Still no one said anything. Tao Jin's face flushed a little. He bowed to the old general and the old lady again and said, "I will send them away after the New Year.

Aunt Sun will stay in the house and won't go out."

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But I still felt a little uncomfortable. You're such a big shot, is it that hard to find a room to hide yourself? Even hiding in the county magistrate's house would be fine, why did you have to find us?

So everyone is considering the pros and cons.

"Can you teach me Qinggong?" Jing Chunxi suddenly asked, not only the people in the family were surprised, even Tao Jin was stunned for a moment.

Don't let your brain circuit be too...

Tao Jin followed her words and replied: "You have to try to know if you can learn it."

Everyone:…

It's strange that the two of them are answering each other one on one. Has Sister Xi decided to keep all three of them?

However, the three elders of the Jing family were only surprised, and had no intention of scolding Jing Chunxi. Tao Jin was no longer surprised by this phenomenon, as he had seen it countless times during his exile.

Jing Yongcheng winked at the old lady, who then stood up and helped Aunt Sun up. Heizi didn't ask for help and stood up by himself along with his mother.

Jing Yongcheng made the arrangements directly without any hesitation: "Young Master Tao and Heizi will live in the west wing. They are close to us, so it will be easier to discuss things."

Then he pointed to the room and told them which one he and Jing Changning lived in.

The old lady looked at Aunt Sun and said, "There aren't many people living in the second courtyard over there. I'll ask Nanny Wang to arrange for you to go there."

Aunt Sun nodded and said, "Thank you!"

The granddaughter hadn't acted on her own for a long time, and suddenly she left these three people behind. That must have been the instruction of the fairy aunt. With the fairy aunt's foresight, they wouldn't be afraid, and maybe it could be a good thing.

Blessing or curse, who knows!

Aunt Sun was taken out by Nanny Wang.

Only then did Jing Yongcheng look at Jing Chunxi: "Sister Xi, why did you suddenly want to learn Qinggong?"

As a great general, he was a real martial artist. He had taught Sister Xi many times back home, but she wasn't interested and couldn't grasp the key points, not to mention being unable to come back often. However, he was too big to learn Qinggong, and even Dalang couldn't do it. Now, even if Sister Xi wanted to learn, they couldn't teach her.

Most military generals like to fight with real swords and guns, and even think that lightness skills are a despicable trick that is only suitable for guards and secret guards, not for battlefields, so the children in the family have never thought about learning lightness skills.

Xiaobei and the two guards who stayed here only knew the basics. It was not impossible to transfer Zhou Wei to teach Jing Chunxi, but the main reason was that Sister Xi had never expressed such a desire before.

Jing Chunxi answered without hesitation: "I'll need it when I return to Beijing."

This was also Jing Chunxi's sudden idea. Seeing the things in the space gradually decreasing, she thought that she definitely couldn't just sit back and enjoy all the money, and she didn't have the ability to earn a lot of money in a short time.

She had never considered petty theft, let alone becoming a bandit. But when she thought of her mother's letter mentioning that the bastard Fourth Prince had received a large sum of money from unknown sources, she suddenly felt that it would be too good of a deal for him not to take away this ill-gotten wealth.

The main thing was that, with the support of a large fortune, the Fourth Prince's influence would inevitably grow, and his reach would become even greater. Not only would his grandparents have to be on guard every day in Yamen, but she, her mother, and her brother would also be uneasy in the capital.

Whether it's taking something from a distance or wanting to break into his house and teach him a lesson, only those who are proficient in Qinggong can do it without relying on others, otherwise nothing can be hidden.

As soon as Jing Chunxi said this, the three people in the family who knew about it could probably guess what she was going to do. But they were also secretly worried about her. If this continued, would Sister Xi be in more and more danger?

Tao Jin and Heizi had a very simple idea, thinking that she was doing it to save her life. They knew all along that she didn't know any martial arts, mainly because she was too weak and lacked arm strength, so only light skills were more suitable for her.

When talking about practicing Qing Kung Fu, Heizi's eyes sparkled and he kept staring at his master. Heizi's mother had taught him some martial arts, but he wanted to learn Qing Kung Fu more. If his master was willing to teach the young lady, he could practice by following her. In any case, he could learn some basic skills, so his eyes were full of hope.

Tao Jin stared at Jing Chunxi and told her the truth: "The time is too short. It's impossible to fly on the trees or float on the water."

Jing Chunxi was speechless, but her eyes sparkled: "As long as I can climb walls and fly over rooftops, that's enough." She was still more interested in the imperial palace and the mansions of the rich and powerful.

Tao Jin suddenly thought of the day in Xinghua Lane when Jing Chunxi said he wanted to lie on the rooftop wall with him to peek. His face suddenly turned a little ugly: "You are not allowed to visit the brothel."

Everyone was stunned again. How could this possibly be related? Why were the two of them speaking like they were playing a game of charades? Young Master Tao's train of thought was truly unique.

Jing Chunxi laughed. If he could really climb walls and fly over rooftops, it would be nice to occasionally go to a brothel and do something. There were high-ranking officials and nobles in there, and there were also many royal relatives. It was said that sometimes the emperor would disguise himself and go in to try something new. Whoever he caught would not be rich?

Seeing her lost in thought, Tao Jin's eyes sparkled, and she looked rather smug and carefree, not like a little girl at all. He got a little angry and said, "Go to bed early tonight. You'll be doing weighted running tomorrow morning at dawn."

When Heizi heard that the matter was done, he immediately became excited and said hurriedly: "I will ask Grandpa Xiaobei to make two more sandbags for Cousin Xi."

He also ran with weights every day. He didn't understand what the sandbags were used for, except that he could run faster after they were untied. It turned out that this was how Qinggong was practiced. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his whole body was full of fighting spirit, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Holding back that energy made his face, which had already turned a little paler, become even darker.

Tao Jin then said to Jing Chunxi, "If you want to be able to fly over eaves and walk on walls, it will take more than just one or two months of practice. You have to continue practicing after returning to the capital. I will give you two secret guards then."

Jing Chunxi immediately replied: "I only want women."

Tao Jin didn't think twice: "Okay!"

Jing Chunxi's answer was not polite at all. The two of them responded to each other as if they were interrupting each other, and their answers were fluent without any doubt, which shocked everyone present again.

The old lady sighed: My ancestors, not only do we have to keep these three people, we also have to take good care of them.

It was just that several people couldn't understand, when did the two of them become so familiar with each other? So familiar that one was willing to send a secret guard, and the other was willing to accept it, without any conditions.

In fact, Jing Chunxi's idea was very simple. Her goal was to learn excellent Qinggong and some martial arts skills to protect herself. As long as she could achieve this goal, what was wrong with taking two people in? At worst, she could return them later.

The two secret guards were no problem at all for Tao Jin. He didn't have any female secret guards around him, but there were some in the mansion. He could just ask someone to send two over. It wouldn't hurt him to send them away casually.

Even if Jing Chunxi didn't say he wanted to learn Qinggong, he still wanted to send a few people to escort her back to Beijing. He was afraid of the many dangers along the way. He was afraid that this ugly girl would die on the way back, and he would not be able to find anyone to argue with her in the future.

Because Tao Jin was so easy to talk to and was willing to be her master, Jing Chunxi later moved the best bunk bed from the space for him to sleep on. Even the pillows and bedding were made of brocade fabrics that only he could use. She really treated him like an ancestor.

As for the source, she was not worried. When Tao Jin entered the door, he saw Nanny Wang, whom he had not seen on the road of exile. She was originally a person in the palace. From her words, actions, and demeanor, it was clear that she was definitely not something that could be bought in Yamen Village or Jiangmen County.

People are here, why can’t things come?

Jing Chunxi now feels that he is getting smarter and smarter. It is really amazing that there are three people who can take the blame.

PS: 2025, may every new morning bring you new hope.

I also hope to get more support from you.
