Chapter 726: Senior sister is not me, how can I know this [please vote for me!]
"Long Ling——"
"Long Ling——"
In the quiet courtyard, the crisp sound of jade clashing can be heard from time to time inside and outside the lobby.
Yu Nianyuan looked helplessly at the lively and cheerful Zhao Qingxiu in front of him.
She had already put down the bowl, and Zhao Qingxiu took her hand and walked around the small courtyard, stopping to look at everything.
Or a swing that has been repaired, or a thick bench for two people to sit on together, or a warm main room, or a kitchen with traces of two people's activities.
Zhao Qingxiu smiled brightly, pointing to every object in the courtyard that had traces of life, and introduced Tanlang's craftsmanship and the Gu family to Yu Nianyuan.
She held Yu Nianyuan's hand and wrote seriously on the palm of his hand.
Yu Nianyuan watched silently for a while without saying anything, but every time Zhao Qingxiu introduced something, she would look at it intently and not perfunctoryly.
But the lady in white never spoke.
I just heard the younger junior sister say that she and Tan Lang were promoted in complementary cultivation and got the trapped dragon vision beyond the accident because "he was missing in fate."
From then on, Yu Nianyuan didn't reply. He was speechless for a while, not knowing what he was thinking...
In the corridor of the courtyard, Yu Nianyuan stared at the blind and mute seventh junior sister who was surprisingly lively today for a long time, and suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhao Qingxiu who was writing enthusiastically on her palm:
"Xiao Qi, when you briefly mentioned this matter in your previous letter, I discussed it with my senior sister, and we cannot rule out that it is the effect of the turtle-shell beetle. The reason why you can heal your mood and resume your cultivation speed this time may be because of the swallowed half of the turtle-shell beetle.
The cow had a strange combination with the half of the tortoise-shell beetle he swallowed, and a strange combination of circumstances resulted in this rare double cultivation effect."
"oh."
Zhao Qingxiu tilted her head slightly and wrote expectantly:
[Are the senior sisters happy?]
Yu Nianyuan nodded: "Of course I'm happy for you."
After saying that, she saw Zhao Qingxiu couldn't wait to continue writing:
[Then I can’t live without Tanlang in the future. He is really missing in my destiny, don’t you think so, Second Senior Sister? I need him for my practice, what should I do, Second Senior Sister...]
Yu Nianyuan felt that if the seventh junior sister was not blind and wearing a ribbon, after writing this line at this moment, she must have quietly turned her eyes to look at the senior sister's face and reaction. Maybe that pitiful look would really make people feel soft.
Already.
The lady in white was noncommittal and said:
"Xiao Qi, do you know that this method is a violation of the precepts? This technique is not a great way after all, and the function of half a tortoise-shell beetle cannot be maintained for a long time. There will always be a day when you will drain it. If I am not wrong, this technique
A dual cultivator with distinct strengths and weaknesses will cause a great loss of energy to the weaker one, isn't Xiaoqi afraid of sucking him dry..."
Zhao Qingxiu interrupted her while writing:
[Second senior sister guessed wrong]
"What guess was wrong?"
[Tan Lang is very energetic. I have also been worried and checked, but I found that he is fine. He has not lost his energy, but has become more solid.]
Yu Nianyuan was startled for a moment and shook his head: "I can't say for sure. After all, it doesn't seem to be the right way."
Zhao Qingxiu asked:
[Senior sister, how do you want to believe it, or do you want to find out?]
Yu Nianyuan was speechless: "He is a man. What can I detect and how can I detect it? Xiao Qi, please don't mess around."
Zhao Qingxiu suddenly turned her head to look outside the hospital and asked:
[The two girls Fang are outside, why don’t they come in and sit down? Let them accompany the second senior sister. I’m about to leave. I’ll entertain you when I get back]
Yu Nianyuan said calmly:
"They are not tired and don't need to sit."
Zhao Qingxiu asked:
[Did they fail to do something to make Second Senior Sister unhappy?]
Yu Nianyuan spoke:
"Not really, but if you like to meddle in other people's business, don't worry about it. Besides, there's no need to come in, because we'll be leaving soon."
Zhao Qingxiu immediately turned around and walked to the lobby.
Yu Nianyuan asked softly: "Why is Xiaoqi going?"
Zhao Qingxiu wrote obediently: [Pour some tea, Second Senior Sister, take a sip of tea before leaving]
Yu Nianyuan narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Why did Xiaoqi stay here instead of leaving with senior sister?"
Zhao Qingxiu shook her head:
[I want to attend Tanlang’s aunt’s birthday ceremony, so I don’t have time today]
Yu Nianyuan pursed his lips: "Senior Sister asked me to take you away immediately after seeing you. Don't stay here. After all, there is danger under the enemy's nose."
Zhao Qingxiu took Yu Nianyuan's hand and wrote hopefully:
[It’s okay after I’ve been here for so long. It won’t take more than a minute and a half. Second Senior Sister, can you help me bring a letter back and give it to Senior Sister? I will tell her personally about Tanlang. Can Second Senior Sister help me?
Let me tell you, help me and Tanlang]
Yu Nianyuan's tone was gentle but firm:
"In the past, it was okay, but now, it's not okay."
Zhao Qingxiu asked urgently: [Why?]
"Because it's unrealistic. I know that there is a sentence that you don't like to hear, and many people don't like to hear it. That is the sentence 'I am doing it for your own good.' But the senior sister is indeed standing from the perspective of someone who has experienced it and wants to do it for you."
Hello, you can say that my senior sister and I are the parents of the family, and we are trying to break up the mandarin ducks. But if we see it, hold it back, and watch you take a path that we think is wrong, then it will be in vain for us to be family members.
"
Yu Nianyuan paused, but emphasized softly: "Senior sister has something to say and must say it."
She reached out and touched Zhao Qingxiu's eyes, which were covered by the azure ribbon, and said softly:
"In the past, I might have objected to Senior Sister's suggestion regarding your child husband, and would have stood on your side. But now, judging from the current situation..."
Yu Nianyuan shook his head and said sincerely:
"Senior Sister's attitude on this matter is indeed not wrong. In addition, I have to tell you first that when I came here this time, I collected a lot of information. Some things are certain. I came here after thinking clearly from a conventional perspective.
, the same suggestions for you.”
Zhao Qingxiu insisted and wrote:
[I am different from Tanlang, my senior sister is not me, how can I know this]
Yu Nianyuan suddenly asked:
"Does Xiao Qi know that tomorrow is the celebration ceremony of Xunyang Grottoes to celebrate the completion of the Donglin Buddha?"
Zhao Qingxiu was stunned for a moment:
【Tomorrow?】
"Well, tomorrow."
Yu Nianyuan looked around and said in a pointed tone:
"It seems that you stay in this courtyard all the time, and no news comes in."
Zhao Qingxiu lowered her head and was lost in thought for a while.
[Senior Sister, wait for me. I still have half a day. I will go to the birthday ceremony first. I will go with you tomorrow to deal with the matter of the Buddha. Afterwards, I will go and convince Senior Sister in person, so I won’t bother Senior Sister anymore.]
Yu Nianyuan shook his head and said only three words, which could not be refused:
"You're not allowed to go."
Zhao Qingxiu also had a tone that could not be refused. Yu Nianyuan was a little surprised. It was rare to see the seventh junior sister be so tough:
[Second Senior Sister, I must go to this birthday ceremony]
Yu Nianyuan explained:
"I mean, you are not allowed to go today or tomorrow. You can go back to Jianze directly now. Fifth Junior Sister has something to ask you and needs your help."
Zhao Qingxiu shook her head in confusion.
The lady in white gently rolled up her sleeves and retied the azure ribbon that had become loose due to violent shaking.
She moved gently and patiently, and spoke at the same time:
"We are not trying to act like a whole family. We, Yunmeng Jianze, never look at wealth or poverty, only morality. Many disasters in the world are not caused by poverty, but by the human heart.
"Many of the lessons learned by the seniors of Nujun Palace at the foot of the mountain can be attributed to the word human heart. It is something more terrifying than the evil dragon. A single thought in the human heart can nourish thousands of evil dragons.
"An evil dragon is easy to kill, but a human heart is difficult to control."
【Tanlang is a good man】
Seeing that she was writing with great strength and obviously showing resistance, Yu Nianyuan asked directly:
"Do you know his identity outside?"
【Jiangzhou officials】
Yu Nianyuan nodded:
"Well, he is not only an official, but also a high-ranking official. His surname is Ouyang and his first name is Rong, but do you know his name?"
Zhao Qingxiu was about to write when she suddenly stopped and did not start writing.
But Yu Nianyuan has already read out:
"Zi Lianghan, a bachelor of Xiuwenguan given by the puppet emperor, Ouyang Lianghan, the governor of Jiangzhou, he was the one who built the Donglin Buddha, and the order to restrict the women of Yue, which he personally promulgated in Jiangzhou, including the Fang family sisters,
Do you know why they leave without saying goodbye these days? They haven't come to see you for a while? Xiaoqi, didn't you notice something strange?"
Zhao Qingxiu's body trembled and her fingers trembled.
Yu Nianyuan said softly:
"He should know that you are a Yue girl. As for whether he knows the identity of the Yue girl, we don't know yet. Looking at the methods he used to deal with the Fang sisters and the Yizhi Zen Master, there is also some mercy hidden in it...
He really values you and is afraid that you will be sad
, but his overall stance is still with the imperial court. From the fact that he issued an order restricting women from crossing the border, and at the same time helped the female officer Si Tianjian draft our wanted order, it can be seen from these things that, except for you, he has no way to deal with us these days.
The rebel thieves in Nanjianghu will not show any mercy.
"This guy is far from being as simple as my senior sister and I thought before. He is very particular about what he does and he is definitely a smart person.
"But your senior sister and I don't like people who are too smart, especially smart people with crooked buttocks. They are especially hateful.
"And the smarter the man, the easier it is to play with people's hearts, because it's too simple, and I heard that he is not just you, the only woman. You can wait for him for ten years, but he cannot wait for ten years.
You, Xiaoqi, you are too romantic and sincere. Such a smart man is not considered a good couple, and he is easily in love and will not live long."
Yu Nianyuan held the back of Zhao Qingxiu's trembling hand and said slowly:
"So, stop immersing yourself in the fantasy you have spun. Not to mention the conflicts he has with us and the unjust acts he has done. Even though I understand his position and difficulties, senior sister and Jianze's other sisters
We will never forgive him. How do you convince everyone?
"There is one more thing. I wonder if you have ever considered that the big Buddha will eventually collapse, and he and Prince Xunyang's Palace need the credit of the big Buddha to pay tribute to the empress. The collapse of the Buddha is tantamount to dereliction of duty. If he knows
You are a Yue virgin who cannot be cleansed, and you are a key traitor in the eyes of the court. You also know that it was your senior sisters who destroyed the Buddha. How should he make a choice?
"Are you giving up on your future, abandoning your people, and going into the mountains and forests with you to cultivate in the clouds and dreams?
"Or, if I want to take you into the temple and continue your career, then you will be his biggest flaw and his biggest weakness for his enemies to attack him. He can only wait for the day to come. Before that, he will sleep peacefully.
?.
"Even if he chooses the former, you will be burdened with huge guilt for the rest of your life. He studied hard for ten years, and after just one impulse, his future was ruined. He went to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. In the days to come, he will always have troubles.
Why bother if you complain?
“One person can endure hardship, but two people cannot, because they will feel that their suffering is caused by the other person.
"One person can be sacrificed, but two people cannot, because the one who sacrifices can't help but look down on the other."
Zhao Qingxiu's little face covered by a ribbon looked around, seeming a little confused.
Yu Nianyuan heard her somewhat chaotic breathing.
The lady in white closed her eyes and decided for her:
"Xiao Qi, don't go. You won't go to the birthday ceremony, and don't go to tomorrow's business. You can go back to Jianze. I will take care of the rest. The senior sister will not blame you. Besides, as long as I am here, you, Tong,
Fuhui's life is definitely in danger and no one can touch him. I can guarantee you this right now...
"Xiao Qi, do you know that last time he captured one of our people, Senior Sister asked me to come here to kill him and pick off his head, but now I can't. He is your family member and we will not hurt him.
he.
"Such a result will make things easier for Senior Sister. Otherwise, if I go back empty-handed without bringing you back, it will be Senior Sister who comes next time. It will be difficult for me to help you stop this matter. I am honest here.
Talk to you."
Yu Nianyuan's final voice fell slowly.
Zhao Qingxiu didn't know whether she heard it or not, she just stood there blankly.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was silent for a while.
Just when Yu Nianyuan was about to speak again.
Zhao Qingxiu suddenly stopped shaking, and she reached out to touch the gift box on the table.
Yu Nianyuan held the gift box with her jade hand and said word by word:
"Xiao, Qi."
I saw that the azure ribbon that Zhao Qingxiu was blindfolded was darker in color and was soaked in water. She lowered her head and wrote.
Yu Nianyuan looked intently.
【I know, I...I don't care】
Zhao Qingxiu buried her head like an ostrich and clumsily took all the gift boxes into her arms, not letting any of them come out.
She squatted down on the spot and continued writing on the ground with her thin, straw-like fingers:
[I don’t care who he is outside, he is Tanlang when he comes home, this is home]
Yu Nianyuan gradually frowned, while Zhao Qingxiu hugged her knees and buried her head.
The two of them stood and squatted in a silent stalemate.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Nianyuan suddenly spoke:
"How about this? Senior sister makes the decision and can give you another choice."
Zhao Qingxiu, who was squatting on the ground with her knees in her arms, slowly raised her head.
Still hugging the gift box tightly.
…
The Huaiye Lane mansion is full of joy today.
From morning to afternoon, the steps of the maids and stewards inside and outside the house were filled with joy and celebration.
Inside the house, at the entrance of Yinbingzhai.
Ouyang Rong is standing on tiptoe pasting a red couplet.
Halfway through applying it, he touched his right eyelid. It had been beating from time to time since he got up this morning.
I heard that there is good fortune on the left and disaster on the other, but no serious person would believe this stuff. To be pragmatic, it is just eye fatigue.
Ouyang Rong muttered softly.
"Little Rongzi!"
Wonderful ideas suddenly jumped out of her sleeves. She touched her chin and asked seriously:
"Tell me...will the embroiderer also prepare a generous gift for me?"
Ouyang Rong suddenly laughed.
He discovered that people really laugh when they are extremely speechless.
"She doesn't even know you, so what should I give you?" Ouyang Rong asked doubtfully, "Is it a mirror? Look at yourself?"
Miao Si seemed to have a pure nature and could not hear ridicule. He tilted his head and said:
"But she knows that you have so many women, and women have a strong sixth sense. She must also know about me, or she may have prepared a gift for the missing sister."
Ouyang Rong immediately gave the stinky little Mo Jing a chestnut:
"I'm not familiar with you, so don't talk nonsense. Besides, I haven't settled the accounts with you for the last time you complained. If the embroiderer knew about it, she wouldn't have a good impression of you either."
The wonderful idea in the sleeve sighed:
"I wish I had jumped out last time and said you were a heartless man. I would have scolded you like Xie Yatou for pretending to be a sister."
Ouyang Rong:?
At this moment, Ouyang Rong suddenly heard an inexplicable increase in merit.
Before he could react, the merit that had just grown in his ears was deducted again, and there was basically no change.
Ouyang Rong looked a little curious.
But this kind of thing happened occasionally in the past, so it's not unusual.
"The merits are equal to the faults? What happened?"
He started to mutter.
At this moment, he found someone coming, and Xiao Mo Jing slipped back into his sleeve.
Ye Weilai came over and said softly:
"Tan Lang, Miss Xie and her aunt are here. They are Mrs. Xie from Yangzhou. Madam calls you to come over and receive them."
Ouyang Rong smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, please help me first to see if it is correct."
"Well, that's right."
Ouyang Rong nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left, heading to the main hall.
Ye Weilai followed him, and the two walked forward together for a while. She suddenly noticed that Tan Lang stopped and stretched out his hand as if to touch his eyes.
"What's wrong Tanlang?"
Ouyang Rong waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go."
"Well, we can't keep Miss Xie and Mrs. Xie waiting for too long."
Ye Weilai smiled and continued to follow the advancing slender figure, thinking a little:
"By the way, Tanlang, tell me for a while whether Mrs. Xie will talk about you and Miss Xie..."
Ouyang Rong suddenly stopped slowly:
"Weila, has Liulang arrived?"
"I've arrived early. I'm eating melon seeds with the Nanlong people in the lobby."
"Call him over. I'll wait for him at the stable."
I saw Ouyang Rong turn around inexplicably, change direction, and go to the stable at the back door.
"But Miss Xie and Mrs. Xie..."
Ye Weilai was startled for a moment, but still nodded:
"Yes, Tanlang."
After a stick of incense.
Yan Liulang, who had grabbed a handful of melon seeds and rushed over, saw Ouyang Rong sitting upright in a carriage that had just been prepared at the back door.
"What are you doing in Mingfu? Aren't you going to pick up guests? Where are you going?"
Yan Liulang looked around curiously and asked.
Ouyang Rongzheng opened the curtains and stared in trance. Hearing this, he withdrew his eyes from the direction of Xingzifang.
He asked for no reason:
"Is there any news from Pei Shisanniang? When was the last time news came?"
