Chapter 344: Was not over yet
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Old Master Xi had never ridden it before.
He was afraid that he would really fall, so he agreed to let his grandson help him.
At first, he was riding unsteadily.
If Xi Rui had not helped him, he would have fallen.
Seeing this, his sons and grandsons were very nervous.
However, he gradually caught up with the rhythm.
After all, riding a horse also required balance.
Old Master Xi had been on the battlefield for many years, so it was still easy for him to master balance.
Then, he got used to it.
Xi Rui did not need to support him and he could already ride it.
The old master was in high spirits as he rode round and round.
Xi Xinheng and the others, who were waiting and wanting to learn, were tired waiting for their turn.
After a while, Xi Xinheng said, “Father, you’re tired after riding so many rounds. Come down and rest.”
The old master was still in high spirits. “No need. I can still ride a few more rounds.”
Xi Xinheng and the others thought to themselves, was it that easy to ride?
Because of the old master, their curiosity was piqued.
After a while, he finally got off the bike.
Xi Xinheng immediately took the lead and let his son teach him how to ride.
Now it was Xi Rui’s turn to be bored.
But there was nothing he could do.
After all, this was his father.
So he bitterly began to support and teach his father to ride again.
After his father finally finished learning, he rode a few more rounds.
Seeing the other uncles and cousins looking at him like they were ready to learn, Xi Rui was about to go crazy.
He immediately found an excuse. “I’m too hungry. I really don’t have the strength. I have to go back to the courtyard to eat.”
The old master saw his pitiful grandson and waved his hand with a smile. “Go.”
Xi Rui gave a big smile. “Okay, my grandfather still loves me.”
After that, he was ready to grab the bicycle from his father’s hands.
However, before he touched the bicycle, the old master said, “I know you are the most filial child.
“I’ll take this bike. Indeed, you’re the most filial child in the whole family.”
Xi Rui’s smile immediately froze on his face.
? ? ?
What the hell? When did he say that he was going to give this bike to the old master?
He said pitifully, “Grandpa, it’s mine this time.”
The old master glared at Xi Rui. “How can you go back on your words after giving it away? It’s outrageous.”
Then, he ordered his entourage, “Go, push my bike to the main courtyard.”
Xi Rui widened his eyes.
What do you mean by yours? It’s mine, mine.
This was the first time he realized that his grandfather was so shameless.
Before this, his family had always said that he was shameless and learned it from others.
Look, this was the shameless “role model”.
“Grandpa, how about two days…” Xi Rui had wanted to give the old master another bike two days later.
He had not even ridden enough of his own bike.
But before he could finish, the old master beat him to it. “Get another one in the next two days for yourself.”
Xi Rui remained silent.
He finally knew where the bad feeling came from.
It seemed that the old master had brought so many people to pick him up just like that.
He wanted to cry.
Since he had already said that, what else could he do? He could only give in.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, I specially prepared this one for you. You must ride it well.”
Old Master Xi laughed loudly. “Good grandson, I appreciate your kindness.”
Xi Rui uttered under his breath, there was no need.
Then, Old Master Xi said to Xi Xinheng, “I will ride the bicycle to the court tomorrow. You can take the carriage yourself. You don’t have to wait for me.”
Just as he was about to ask Old Master Xi if he could have the bicycle for him to ride to court tomorrow, Xi Xinheng sighed.
Forget it.
His father wanted to show off on his own, but he had no chance.
He had a helpless look on his face. “Yes!”
His father was really becoming more and more mischievous.
Usually, he would say that he had a headache or a sore back, and he would find an excuse to ask for leave and not go to court.
Actually, he just felt that the court was held too early in the morning, so he didn’t want to go.
If he wanted to show off now, he did not think that it was too early.
His head did not hurt anymore, and his back did not hurt anymore…
He was really convinced.
Then, the old master pushed the bicycle back to his own yard with his entourage.
The others who were still waiting to learn how to ride the bicycle were in a mess in the wind…
Xi Rui stared at his bicycle and really wanted to cry.
Just as he was about to go back to the yard to turn his grief and anger into the strength to eat, he heard his father say, “Get me one too.”
Xi Rui was speechless. “My bicycle was stolen by my grandfather. I’ll help you after I finish building mine.”
Xi Xinheng raised his eyebrows. “Are you my father, or am I your father?”
Xi Rui remained silent.
“Of course you are.”
Xi Xinheng smiled. “Your father’s father will be the first to take it, and of course your father will be the second.
“You can go and get your own after you deliver mine.”
Xi Rui wanted to cry and show off to his father. Why were they so shameless? It seemed that they were all crooked..
However, due to his father’s domineering attitude, he could only say helplessly, “I know, I know.”
If he had known earlier, he would not have come back.
He wanted to show off in front of his cousins.
But now, before he could show off, he had already been beaten.
Xi Xinheng patted his shoulder in satisfaction, looking like a loving father. “Okay, you must be tired after playing all day. Go back to the courtyard and eat.”
Xi Rui felt terrible about the sudden fatherly kindness.
He did not accompany his father to perform filial piety.
He felt the passionate gazes from his other uncles and cousins, so he left without hesitation.
If he stayed any longer, everyone in the family would probably want him to get a bicycle.
He did not so much leisure time to do so.
Seeing thar Xi Rui left so quickly, the others were speechless.
They had not even said what they wanted to say…
On the other hand, Liang Youxiao also encountered a similar situation.
Old Master Liang did not bring his family members to stop him, but he was called to the study by Old Master Liang as soon as he returned to the residence.
He taught Old Master Liang how to ride a bicycle, and then the bicycle was gone…
It was the same for Qi Yiyang.
Old Master Qi had had enough of Old Master Liang and Old Master Xi showing off all day long.
This time, his grandson also had a bicycle, so he wanted to show it off as well.
Thus, he got Qi Yiyang to teach him how to ride a bicycle before asking him to leave first.
In Fei Yuzhe’s family, Old Master Fei was more reserved.
He was also a civil official, so he would not show off like this.
He was old and did not have any martial arts skills.
He was afraid that he would fall if he wanted to learn how to ride a bicycle, so he gave up.
The other three dukes were all generals who had followed the late emperor to conquer the world.
He could not compare with them.
However, Fei Yuzhe did not escape the fate of losing his bicycle because his father was strong and healthy.
After he taught him how to ride a bicycle, he confiscated it.
Only Xi Rong escaped because there were no elders in the family and the emperor also had a bicycle in the palace.
The other few people in their own courtyard wanted to cry, so they ate a few bowls of rice.
They were planning to continue riding their bikes on the streets tomorrow, but their chance to show off was gone just like that…
