The room was quiet.

Even the cicadas and birds outside have stopped chirping now.

Only the faint clanging of weapons clashing could be heard.

Xi'er used a small fan to cool the girl down, carefully observing her new mistress.

A fair complexion, long, curled eyelashes, and a cute, upturned nose...

Beautiful, the girl is really beautiful.

It smells nice too.

Watching a girl sleep is definitely a pleasure.

"Choo Choo Choo……"

Suddenly, a little red bird flew in through the window, landed on the girl's pillow, and chirped.

Xi'er originally wanted to chase away Dan Que, fearing it would wake the girl.

As a result, the girl threw off the covers, sat up abruptly, and made a shushing gesture.

The little girl peeked out the window, peering outside...

There should be a maid left by my aunt at the door. My eldest brother is practicing swordsmanship in the distance, and the window in my second brother's room is open...

The sun is so high, isn't my brother afraid of getting heatstroke?

They should be done practicing soon, right?

Jiang Zifeng sparred with the guards, using the new moves that Mu Yunji had taught him.

He said with great humility and respect, "Please give me your guidance!"

My teacher once said, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." We must not underestimate our opponents, nor should we be negligent towards anyone who possesses unique skills.

No matter how arrogant the other party is.

We should treat them with courtesy and respect, and gain their trust so that we can learn what we want from them.

"Please, young master!" The guard, looking at the young man who was several heads shorter than him, drew his sword impatiently to respond.

He was most afraid of sparring with these pampered young masters.

It was supposed to be a friendly competition, but it was really just playing around with them.

They also had to pretend they couldn't win and admit defeat.

It was an insult to the dignity of a soldier, and he wouldn't stand for it.

Jiang Zifeng's swordsmanship was as fluid and graceful as a dragon soaring through the air; she wielded it beautifully.

However, it's all just for show, all fluff and no substance.

The guard pondered to himself, deciding to let him have a few moves.

Would it be too much to win in one move? The young man seems quite serious about it.

In a daze.

Then the young man's sword aura surged like a rainbow as he leaped into the air and slashed at him with his sword...

Can't dodge.

"Bangdang..."

The guard's sword was knocked to the ground.

He was completely stunned, and his hand holding the sword went numb.

My body was also stiff.

He looked at the boy who helped him pick up the sword in disbelief. How could this kid be so strong?

He's a soldier, someone who's been with swords for years and has taken countless enemy heads. How could he possibly be defeated by a mere kid!

impossible.

I must have underestimated my opponent.

It must be...

The guard took the sword hilt. "Again!"

He will give it his all.

However, after one round, he still hadn't gained any advantage.

The two fought to a draw.

"You flatter me!" Jiang Zifeng bowed with his hands clasped.

He appeared humble, but was secretly overjoyed. Although he hadn't won yet, he was close to victory.

He begged Mu Yunji to let him join the army.

Mu Yunji said he would agree if he could defeat the guard named Dali.

However, this is contingent on his mother agreeing as well.

Jiang Zifeng was already very happy with the draw, as she had almost won against Dali.

However, he also knew in his heart that Dali had not used his full strength in the last game, so it didn't count.

It has to be real.

As long as he defeats Dali before Mu Yunji leaves Jiangzhou, he can go and make a name for himself.

After my maternal grandfather's family returned, they finally had someone to support them.

Even if his mother leaves the Jiang family in the future, he and his younger brother will still have someone to rely on.

Dali also bowed and said, "You flatter me!"

He was all smiles on the outside, but inside he was panicking.

Could it be that his martial arts skills have deteriorated during his time away from the battlefield?

They really couldn't even beat a mere kid.

He decided to intensify his practice and make sure his brothers never found out, or they would laugh their heads off.

As soon as he turned around, his smile vanished, and his face instantly fell.

Jiang Zifeng turned around, her face beaming with joy.

If his younger sister weren't asleep, he would definitely want to hug her.

I'll go back to my room and change my clothes before I go see my sister.

Jiang Miaomiao was also stunned.

Indeed, everyone has their own unique talents. My elder brother may not be good at studying, but he is definitely a martial arts prodigy.

Seeing her elder brother return to the room, she hurriedly ran to the cabinet, took out a box of cakes, and placed it in front of Xi'er.

"For you..."

Xi'er shook her head, "No, this belongs to the young lady, I cannot eat it."

Jiang Miaomiao: ……

What a stubborn girl!

If you don't eat soon, your older brother will be here.

She pouted, looking angry, and adopted a spoiled attitude, "Am I not the mistress? Aren't you supposed to listen to me?"

"Yes."

"If your master tells you to eat, will you eat it?"

"Yes……"

"Then you eat it."

Xi'er looked at this fierce-looking little master and found him incredibly adorable.

Even if a master is of low rank, she is still a master, and her words cannot be disobeyed.

She picked up a pastry, popped it into her mouth, took a bite, and said with a smile, "Girl, you should have some too, it's delicious..."

Xi'er didn't forget to pour water for the girl, saying, "Miss, be careful not to choke."

The two ate and laughed, and in no time, they finished the whole box of shortbread.

Xi'er ate to her heart's content.

Jiang Miaomiao felt it was time to get down to business, so she tugged at Xi'er's sleeve, "Sister, Mother always said, 'He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is bound to him...'"

"Since you ate my food, you have to help me..."

Xi'er: ...

This child...

What a shrewd person!

No wonder Lady Xiuxiu was so worried.

Is it too late for her to vomit it up now?

I tried to stick it out with my tongue, but it seemed like I couldn't...

Helplessly, he said, "You...you tell me, what do you want me to help with?"

Jiang Miaomiao, who had been grinning, pinched herself hard.

Tears welled up in her eyes immediately.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't.

Xi'er was overwhelmed and almost cried. "Miss, don't cry! Tell me, what help do you need?"

Jiang Miaomiao began her performance...

"My father, my own father, is having an affair and they even had a little sister. I'm not happy..."

Xi'er has also heard about this.

"Girl, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Miaomiao leaned close to her ear and mumbled something...

Then Xi'er went out and sent all the maids outside away, and the two of them waited quietly inside.

Sure enough, a short while later, the older brother, who had changed his clothes, arrived.

As soon as Jiang Zifeng entered the room, he saw two girls, one older and one younger, looking at him with smiles.

My younger sister sat on the bed, dressed neatly, swinging her little legs.

Jiang Miaomiao slid off the bed, ran to him, and grabbed his sleeve. "Big brother, let's go to the rouge shop, okay?"

A rouge shop?

"Little sister, what are you doing at the rouge shop?" Jiang Zifeng picked her up in his arms.

"Buy some rouge and gifts for Sister Yuan, she's leaving next month..."

"it is good……"
