At night, Zhao Ran walked into the editorial office of "Junshan Notes". In the room of chief editor Yu Zhichuan, candlelight flickered.
Today is the day when Yu Zhichuan comes back from the back mountain, which can be regarded as his official departure. Zhao Ran has been busy outside for the past two days and has just returned to the mountain.
After coughing outside the door, Yu Zhichuan's response came from inside the room: "Junior brother?"
Zhao Ran said: "Senior brother, didn't you rest?"
Yu Zhichuan said: "Come in."
Zhao Ran opened the door and went in. He saw Yu Zhichuan leaning on the corner of the bed, looking unnatural, so he walked over, pulled a chair and sat beside the bed, and asked, "Senior brother, is there something on your mind?"
Yu Zhichuan forced a smile: "It's nothing."
Zhao Ran said: "The people from Deyou Temple will arrive tomorrow, and guests from all walks of life will be going up the mountain one after another. In two days, it will be the big day for senior brother to get married. From now on, Louguan and Deyou Temple will have a good relationship for a hundred years. I
My heart is very happy.”
Yu Zhichuan said: "Thank you, junior brother, for helping me take care of it. Look at me, I know nothing. If it weren't for junior brother, I don't know what to do with this marriage."
Zhao Ran took out a wooden box and placed it next to the bed, saying, "Senior brother, I don't spend much money on weekdays, so I must have saved a lot of my monthly salary..."
Yu Zhichuan rarely went down the mountain, and his face was tense. Hearing this, his face turned red instantly. Zhao Ranquan didn't know it, and continued: "But after marrying the eldest daughter of the Lu family, my senior brother will have a family, so it is inevitable that he will
We need some expenses. We are now a wealthy family in Lou Guan. We must act in a decent manner and not let Deyou look down on us. Here is a hundred thousand silver note as a private congratulation from junior brother to senior brother."
Yu Zhichuan was surprised: "So many?" He couldn't help but open the box and saw a thick pile of large banknotes with a face value of one hundred taels inside. He was moved: "Junior brother, I have made you worry."
Zhao Ran added: "The Lu family is from a famous family. Senior Sister Lu and Senior Sister-in-law Lu are both beautiful. It is a great blessing for Senior Brother to marry her. I hope Senior Brother will cherish her."
Yu Zhichuan nodded: "I also like Yuanyuan very much. Don't worry, junior brother, I will treat her well."
Zhao Ran stood up and was about to go out when Yu Zhichuan grabbed him: "Junior brother, wait a minute."
"Senior brother, what's the matter?"
After muttering for a long time, Yu Zhichuan hesitated and said: "There is Xiaomei in the editorial department. Does junior brother know about it?"
Zhao Ran sat back: "I know something."
Yu Zhichuan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and shook out a letter from his sleeve: "I found this letter when I came back today. I don't know what to do. I feel very uncomfortable. I asked my junior brother to teach me."
Zhao Ran took it and glanced at it, then asked: "Senior brother and Xiaomei?"
Yu Zhichuan said ashamedly: "I'm sorry for the teacher, I'm sorry for Lou Guan, and I'm sorry for Yuanyuan."
Zhao Ran asked: "Then what did you think about it?"
Yu Zhichuan shook his head: "I have been thinking about this matter in the back mountain during the past few months of seclusion. I don't know how to arrange Xiaomei. I can't imagine what I should say to Yuanyuan after we get married. I don't know, it's too difficult.
..."
Zhao Ran smiled: "Senior brother, you are a great talent. You can successfully escape from such chaos and entanglements. If you tell me, I won't be envied by everyone in the world."
Yu Zhichuan smiled bitterly: "Junior brother, please stop joking, I'm already like this... In the whole world, I can only ask my junior brother, please give me an idea."
Zhao Ran asked: "Sister-in-law Lu and this Xiaomei are standing in front of you and you have a choice. Who will you choose?"
Yu Zhichuan looked at the roof, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head again: "I don't know..."
"Why?"
Yu Zhichuan closed his eyes and said after a long time: "Being with Yuanyuan, I feel solid and stable. From her, I can learn many, many things that I don't know; being with Xiaomei, I feel very...
It’s very exciting, she often brings surprises to me...I really don’t know.”
Zhao Ran pointed to the letter: "Senior brother, actually you and Xiaomei have made a choice, haven't you? You chose Sister Lu to be your double monk, so you didn't object to the marriage until the retreat; and Xiaomei
She also made her choice..."
After hearing these words, Yu Zhichuan murmured: "Xiaomei has made her choice...Why is she so cruel and leaves just as soon as she says it? She is not usually like this..." He repeated it several times in a low voice,
As if she woke up from a dream, she let out a long sigh of relief: "Now that she has made this choice, I understand."
Zhao Ran added: "Brother, it's good if you understand. This matter is of great importance to both Lou Guan and Deyou Guan. It maintains the reputation of the two sects. Senior brother is willing to tell me that it is right.
I promise, junior brother, that I will never reveal a word of my trust to outsiders."
Yu Zhichuan nodded desperately: "I won't reveal even a single word, I promise my junior brother!"
Zhao Ran pointed to the letter paper hanging half sideways on the edge of the bed: "This letter..."
Yu Zhichuan gritted his teeth, his palms shook, and the letter burned until it was reduced to ashes.
"Junior brother, I want to drink. I promise I will only drink tonight. I will not drink again until we get married."
Zhao Ran took out five-flower-flavored run wine and a few cold foods from the storage ring, and filled both wine cups: "... You can drink it on the wedding day, just don't get drunk... Senior brother, congratulations
you!"
The two drank with cold dishes and talked while drinking, talking about the teacher, the master's wife, Wei Zhizhen and Luo Zhiqing, the three generations of disciples of the Zongsheng Hall, and then the revival of Lou Guan.
Wuhuaxiangyun wine is not an ordinary product. Drinking too much will cause you to get sick, especially when you have something on your mind. Yu Zhichuan drank a little and got a little drunk. After drinking, he murmured: "Xiaomei will live well if she leaves me."
What?"
"Will she come to me suddenly in the future?"
"Will she find someone new?"
"Junior brother, you are the only one who knows about this..."
Zhao Ran stayed with Yu Zhichuan until it got dark, then told him to meditate to consolidate his cultivation, clear his mind, and then go out and wait in front of the mountain gate.
Mr. Huangshan was lying on the big stone in front of the mountain gate, waiting for his fixed post, staring at the sky, not knowing what he was doing.
Zhao Ran stroked the tiger hair on his neck and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Huangshan Jun sighed, resting his big head on his two front paws, and said in frustration: "In the past, I, Huangshan Jun, was considered the number one among the demons in northern Sichuan, but now... look now, the white crane has really flown,
I agree with this, who would let a god from heaven come down to earth? I also agree with the fairy’s transformation. She was the best at fighting back then. Although I once matched her as a Taoist friend, we were on equal terms with each other... But the monkey and the three
These two guys, since we fought against Master Shao in Yingtian, suddenly became more powerful. I can't beat them no matter what, what's going on?"
Zhao Ran comforted him: "Everyone...every demon has his destiny. This is destiny. Do your best and stay with Pindao. Pindao believes that your destiny will definitely come."
Huangshan Jun shook his head: "I hope, it's hard to be a human being, but it's even harder to be a monster..."
Just as he was sighing, Zhao Ran pinched his face and started talking to both sides: "Smile, the Lu family is here!"
