Chapter 80
The Shen family of Duanzhou, one of the four major scholars of Dayue, is the first wealthy family in the world.
Standing outside the vermilion bronze gate of the Shen family, touching the stone statues of the two divine beasts that I don't know what kind of beasts they were, Mo Beichen, who had regained his dark yellow face at this moment, waited stupidly with his baggage.
The fierce caretaker at the door just now said to report it, and at the end, he looked at Mo Beichen with arrogant eyes, as if he was wondering when the Shen family had such a rustic poor relative. If it weren't for the Shen family's rule to be lenient to others, the person who went to the hospital really wanted to drive this sick scholar away immediately.
After waiting for about two pillars of incense, the person who watched the courtyard was late, followed by an old man with a rich face. As soon as the old man approached the gate, he immediately greeted Mo Beichen with a smile: "Young master, you can come, the master has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
The fierce watchman next to him was smiling respectfully, and he couldn't see the majestic appearance just now.
Mo Beichen also replied with a smile: "Presumably you are the Zheng butler in my cousin's mouth, you really look up to you for a long time." ”
When Uncle Zheng heard this, his smile became even kinder: "Young Master Cousin, you are polite." Come, please come here, the lord is waiting for you in the Yunfu Hall. Then he looked sideways and shouted to the watchman: "Ah You, don't help the young master carry the burden." ”
"Yes, yes. The big man nodded hurriedly, respectfully took the burden in Mo Beichen's hand, and didn't dare to look at him, very afraid.
Mo Beichen was happy in his heart, squinted and smiled at him meaningfully, and was satisfied to see Ah You's head shrink, cold sweat flowing down his forehead, and then Shi Shiran entered the door with Steward Zheng.
The Shen family is actually a mountain villa covering an area of dozens of hectares, with mountains and rivers in it, and all kinds of beautiful scenery in the world can be seen here.
Following Steward Zheng slowly, Mo Beichen silently wrote down the road inside, and said as he walked: Presumably, the people of the Shen family must have a very important skill, that is, to be able to remember the direction in the Shen Family Villa.
Coming to the Yunfu Hall, Shen Laifan, the patriarch of the Shen family, quickly greeted him, with a rare smile on his serious face: "Chen'er, you are finally here." Your cousin is still wondering why she hasn't seen you for so long. ”
Mo Beichen smiled and said casually: "I encountered some trouble on the road. 'Cousin' you probably know, too. ”
Shen Laifan frowned, sighed and whispered, "I just sent dozens of good men to accompany the people who asked for help. The emperor was injured, and the Shen family was in big trouble. ”
Mo Beichen chuckled and said, "Cousin, don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." You'd better settle me down first, I don't want to see those 'old people' again." ”
Shen Laifan nodded, the worry in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of relief, approached an elegant and dignified woman, and smiled: "Come, Chen'er, come and see your cousin-in-law." Ning Xue, this is my distant cousin, Ning Chen. ”
Mo Beichen hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a light smile: "I have heard that the talented girl of the green fence is peerless, but I didn't expect to see it today, and I realized that my cousin-in-law was even more beautiful than the rumors." ”
Tantai Ningxue pursed her lips and chuckled, and said: "Xianggong said that you are the best at playing poor mouths, and when I saw it today, it was really a little more powerful than the rumors." ”
Shen Laifan hugged his beloved wife Ning Xue, and he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Mo Beichen glared at Shen Laifan helplessly, opened his mouth and sighed: "Cousin, you really hold a grudge." ”
Tantai Ningxue looked at Shen Laifan gently, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing the couple in front of him who were in love with each other, Mo Beichen couldn't help coughing lightly, knowing that you husband and wife have a good relationship, don't just leave me an outsider aside.
Shen Laifan looked at Mo Beichen calmly and said with a smile: "We have arranged a place to live for you." Do something to help you think about it, you will help your cousin teach the junior first, and this kid will be angry with his Xixi again. ”
Teach the little ones?!
As soon as these words fell, a small noise suddenly appeared at the red pillar at the back hall in the hall.
Mo Beichen squinted and saw a chubby little head melon seed secretly sticking out, the black grape eyes were shining, and the red little mouth was pouting unhappily.
When he entered the door just now, he found a little child hiding behind the red pillar, and Mo Beichen guessed with his toes that it was the naughty and clever Shen Xiaosan.
Shen Laifan also found out, pretending to be a strict father and roaring: "Little San, come out." What kind of system is hiding and hiding. ”
Shen Huan, the most favored junior of the Shen family, walked out step by step with his chubby fingers.
Tantai Ningxue squatted down and gently rubbed the little fat doll's head, and asked softly, "Little San, why are you secretly hiding behind the pillar?"
Xiao San pouted, and said in a milky voice: "Mother, people don't want any Xixi." They're stupid and ugly, and they're going to spoil the mistress. ”
As soon as he heard this, Mo Beichen hurriedly held back a smile, this kid is really interesting.
Shen Laifan peeked at Mo Beichen, and seeing that he was not angry, he hurriedly turned his head and scolded Xiao San angrily: "Don't be rude." Why don't you come and see my cousin. ”
The little chubby doll was mentioned to Mo Beichen by his father, and he reluctantly bowed and said, "Xi'er meets my cousin." ”
Seeing that Mo Beichen didn't reply, Xiao San raised his white and tender round face and looked at it, and saw that this cousin with a very strange appearance was looking at him with a smile, very kind, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and said in his heart: This cousin is not easy to deal with.
Mo Beichen also knew clearly when he looked at Xiao San, this fat doll who looked like a small round ball was turning his eyes and calculating himself. This kid is a big ghost, and in just two years, he can't get rid of twenty famous teachers.
Suddenly interested in his heart, the corners of Mo Beichen's mouth hooked, and he said to Shen Laifan and his wife: "The junior is well-behaved and clever, my cousin and sister-in-law can rest assured that they will hand him over to me." ”
When Shen Laifan heard this, his heart was filled with joy. The young master is willing to be the gentleman of the junior, and the junior should benefit a lot. However, the most important thing is that he finally found someone to treat Xiao San, and now they can rest assured for a while.
"There's Cousin Lao Chen'er. ”
Tantai Ningxue owed a blessing, and then smiled softly and grabbed her husband's arm, looking at him with a vein in her eyes.
The little fat doll listened to her father's words in a daze and handed herself over to this strange cousin, she was very unhappy, wrinkled her faint little eyebrows, and snorted: "I don't want this yellow-faced monster to teach me." ”
After speaking, he stuck out his tongue and grimaced at Mo Beichen, picked up the little fat radish leg and ran away, leaving giggles along the way.
"This kid. ”
Shen Laifan stroked his forehead with his hand and pressed it with a headache.
Tantai Ning Xue also shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Chen'er, Xiao San is still young, you don't have to care about his words." ”
Mo Beichen smiled slightly, his eyebrows curled: "Children are innocent and innocent, and children are unscrupulous. ”
After the three of them continued to talk for a while, suddenly someone hurriedly came to announce that the distinguished guest was coming.
Shen Laifan immediately ordered Steward Zheng to take Mo Beichen to the place where he was staying, and then went out with his wife Yutai Ningxue to welcome the emperor's royal arrival.
As soon as Mo Beichen and Steward Zheng left on the front foot, the emperor and the others arrived on the back foot.
However, at this time, the front hall of the Shen family was already turned over on his back, the emperor was carried over, and the person had fallen into a coma, and the dragon was dying. Except for Jinghou Xia Lingran, the other people were either injured or crying stupidly.
Walking slowly along the quiet place of the villa, Mo Beichen gossiped with Steward Zheng from time to time. The two of them walked for more than a mile, and finally stopped in the most secluded part of the villa.
This place is still a bamboo forest, deep and inexplicable, quiet and unusual.
Shen Laifan knew Mo Beichen's preferences, so the accommodation he arranged for Mo Beichen was similar to the dome building of the Beidou Palace.
The road in the bamboo forest is winding, and the road is transformed according to the "Tiankun Four Elephant Array".
Until the end of the bamboo forest, I saw a quiet small water pavilion, and the lintel was engraved with the three big characters of "Phantom Dust House", which was beautiful but sharp.
Steward Zheng led Mo Beichen into the house, and there were already two servants waiting in the house. Steward Zheng gave careful instructions to the two and then left respectfully.
Mo Beichen was served by the two of them, washing and feasting. After that, he waved them away and walked up to the room on the second floor for a good nap.
When I woke up, the night twilight had arrived, and the moon was already bent on the bamboo forest.
Probably because the bed was too comfortable, after Mo Beichen stretched his waist, his body was still soft. Got up and lifted the veil, and there was a spacious bamboo balcony outside.
The bamboo forest is on the mountainside, leaning over to look, the Shen family is already the beginning of the lanterns, all kinds of yarn lanterns will reflect the Shen family villa like a heavenly palace, far and near, fire trees and silver flowers, reflecting each other.
Suddenly, a cool breeze came to his face, and Mo Beichen couldn't help but shrink.
This past year should be a good day. Even though there are thousands of styles, who can you talk to?
Mo Beichen looked at the moon and stars in the sky, and the song stage dancing under the mountain, and his heart was desolate.
The water is clear.
Silently reciting this name, the cool breeze was blowing, and for a while, loneliness and sentimentality drifted into my heart.
affection,
Look at each other through the ages.
A few degrees of streamers people farther,
The wound is out of order.
Dreaming of empty resentment,
The edge of the dust is still unbroken.
Biluo Yellow Spring searched,
I don't care if I come to the world.
The coldness was even worse, and Mo Beichen's heart was sore and painful. Can't forget, can't forget. A love word hurts the most. I have intentions, you are ruthless, and you are sorrowful. Perhaps, in this life, there is only the fate of master and apprentice.
Thinking of this, Mo Beichen was disheartened.
Back in the house, sitting on the bed, silently reciting the mind, a trace of warmth in his chest seemed to slowly swim in the meridians. The body is no longer cold. But how can the heart that has been cold be warmed?
It's just that, the big husband exists in the world, and he doesn't just focus on "love". If I want to be free, these mixed feelings are a burden.
Urging the internal force, the true qi has been running in the body for a few weeks, Mo Beichen is sweating hotly, but the stone in his heart has fallen, and the pain in his eyes does not appear, only the transparency of waking up like a dream.
Soak a wet towel to wash off the ointment on his face, Mo Beichen picked up a change of clothes and walked out of the "Phantom Dust House".
There is a medicinal spring at the "Shaoyang" in the south of the bamboo forest, the spring water has a constant temperature all the year round, there are all kinds of medicinal herbs growing on the side of the spring, after years of soaking, the hot spring absorbs the essence of thousands of medicinal herbs, and becomes a rare "medicinal spring" in the world. Often soaking in the spring water, can be through the meridians and activate the meridians, health care, and the seriously injured people bathing, but also can cure the disease, the effect is very significant.
The moonlight on the bamboo forest is light and translucent, and a piece of silver light pours on this medicinal spring.
It's quiet, it's silent, except for the sound of insects and the wind moving bamboo leaves.
The smoke on the medicinal spring is thick and wisps, and it surrounds this corner of the bamboo forest.
Mo Beichen put his change of clothes on the clean and steep rocks by the spring, undressed neatly, untied his belt, and slowly stepped into the warm medicinal spring.
Take a long breath of comfort, the smoke from the hot springs has a faint medicinal fragrance, and the red sandalwood lanterns erected in the bamboo forest are blurred in the water vapor, blurring like clouds running low in the night sky.
Mo Beichen sat quietly on the hot spring wall, looking at the sky. On the occasion of the dome, there is only the bright moon and the breeze, and life in the world should be so free and clear.
Laughing uncontrollably, flying eyebrows, arrogant eyes, bright lips. This picture of the hot springs under the moon is so fascinating.
This bewitching painting made Mo Junyan intoxicated for a long time.
After an afternoon in a coma, he finally woke up in the evening. His body has been deeply poisoned, and the poison is like the treacherous and cruel moves of the man in black, which is unbearable. Shen Laihan, the third elder of the Shen family who came after being ordered to come to him, tried his best to finally wake himself up. But there is no antidote to this strange poison.
Time was running out, and Shen Laihan was helpless. Now I can only rely on the Shen family's precious medicine and hot springs to hang my life, hoping to last for a while longer.
Repelled his subordinates and came to the medicine spring alone. I look embarrassed, I don't want anyone to see it.
It's just that after soaking in the medicinal spring, another person actually appeared. The man soaked in the hot springs and did not realize his presence.
Curious who he is, an assassin, or a descendant of the Shen family?
Quietly holding his breath and looking at him from the other side, the man's eyebrows were soft, but his eyes were cold.
He looked up at the sky, as if he was thinking about something, his expression was gentle, and then he laughed heartily, and his laughter was hearty and free.
He looks better when he laughs, because at this time his eyes are also laughing, and there is a temperature.
His smile, however, was a little familiar, warm and bright, much like the woman who had passed away in his memory.
In a trance, Mo Junyan's eyes suddenly became cold, and his heart calmed down.
Who is he?
Why is it here?
stepped forward, and when the man was not paying attention, Mo Junyan grabbed his wrist and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
After Mo Beichen finished laughing, he was in a good mood and his heart was completely resolved. Who knows, when he was not paying attention, he actually saw Mo Junyan again.
At this time, Mo Junyan was asking who he was with a cold face.
With a sneer, he raised his eyes to Mo Junyan's uncertain face, and said strangely: "Who am I, what does it matter to you? What is the reason why Your Excellency grabbed my hand like this? Dare to ask who Your Excellency is?"
With that, he shook his arm and waved away Mo Junyan's fiery palm.
Mo Junyan lost the cool delicate touch in his hand, and couldn't help but clench.
"This is the Shen family's important land, what is your identity?"
With a cold and resolute face exuding majesty, Mo Junyan seems to be born with the domineering spirit of a king, and he has deterrent power at all times.
It's a pity that Mo Beichen is not the prince who can be frightened stupid by his eyes, in his eyes, the emperor is just a terminally poisoned sick cat at this time.
Standing up, he looked at Mo Junyan at eye level, and the spring water filled the waistline of the two.
"You don't have to know who I am. You just need to know that you have no right to ask me about it, no matter what you are. ”
Mo Beichen's dissatisfaction with the emperor over the years has surged into his eyes, he was choked by his neck when he was born, assassinated in the palace day and night, pretending to be crazy and stupid for so many years, even a saint would be furious.
If you don't hate them, how can you hate without love, but resentment must be more than a little bit.
The emperor's eyes were deep and cold, but there was a hint of contemplation.
When I looked closely, I found that this young man's eyebrows and eyes were three points similar to himself, and he was very beautiful in front of him, his skin was fair and delicate, with a soft light, and his face was like a clear lotus, handsome but soft. It's just that his eyes are like three autumn pools, and the cold is revealed in the clearness.
"Who are you?" Mo Junyan became more and more suspicious of the identity of the young man, the Shen family appeared so stunningly, it was indeed suspicious.
Mo Beichen saw Mo Junyan stunned at his face, as if he was thinking about something, guessing that he might find that the two looked similar, and when he was angry, he came to his senses, afraid of being seen something.
Silently giving him a slap on the back, Mo Beichen turned around and wanted to leave.
As soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by Mo Junyan's shoulders and forced to sit in the hot spring.
"Who sent you? Are you an accomplice to those assassins today?" Mo Junyan's face became colder and colder, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and at the end, he actually asked softly in Mo Beichen's ear, and his low voice had a faint evil aura.
Stretched out his big palm to caress Mo Beichen's delicate cheeks, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, Mo Junyan's always majestic and cold handsome face had an indescribable evil charm under the moonlit night: "Could it be that they sent you to tempt me?"
Mo Beichen's expression froze for a moment, and there was only disbelief in his eyes.
Hell, is this still the emperor in my memory who is colder and harder than the stinky stone in the pit?
Can anyone explain why Mo Junyan, who is noble and indifferent on weekdays, has such a charming look?
In this case, it is not he who tempts him, but he who tempts himself.
The Emperor was only guessing, as he could tell from the fact that he said "I" instead of "I". This is really a snake bite, ten years afraid of the well rope.
"If I had come to assassinate you, I'm afraid you'd have died an ugly death. Mo Beichen, who hurriedly calmed his mind, replied calmly.
At the same time, he secretly scolded in his heart, old emperor, don't be unforgiving. Our feud is just a deal. I want to survive, in exchange, to be a fool for eighteen years and bear your hatred. Ning Yue's prophecy only allowed your Mo family to continue, my mission has been completed, and this world has returned to its normal trajectory when the stars fall. I have no reason to kill you, and even moreso, I can't kill you either.
Mo Junyan saw that the person in front of him had round eyes for a moment, looking surprised, but he quickly calmed down, and felt that he was suspicious, so he couldn't help but look slightly gloomy, pinched Mo Beichen's chin, forced him to look at his face, and asked coldly, "What is your purpose?"
Mo Beichen's whole body was suppressed by Mo Junyan's bullying body, and he couldn't move. The spring water was already warm, the posture of the two was very ambiguous, the naked chest was against each other, and Mo Junyan's body was like fire, which made Mo Beichen's heart feel even hotter.
Putting his body close to the cold rock wall behind him, Mo Beichen's heart calmed down slightly.
Squinting his eyes, Mo Beichen sneered, and quickly waved his hand to hit the side of Mo Junyan's neck, bringing half of the internal force.
"I don't think much time is going to spend on you, and I don't give you a heavy hand, but you are unscrupulous. ”
Mo Junyan's eyes slowly darkened, and the last thing he heard in his ears was this cold word, and then he was unconscious, fainted, and collapsed on Mo Beichen's body.
Throwing the unconscious emperor on the flat hot spring stone platform, Mo Beichen got up and dressed slowly.
patted his sleeve and prepared to leave, poked his head and looked towards the stone platform, and found Mo Junyan lying on it, Mo Beichen thought about it, Mo Junyan was also a wise and martial king, and his life was on the line, so it didn't seem good to throw him down like this.
Helping Mo Junyan put on a long robe, Mo Beichen knew that the emperor's subordinates must be not far away. Leaping to the top of the bamboo forest, he shouted to the ground, "Come on, there are assassins!"
After three consecutive whistles, hearing a sound half a mile away, Mo Beichen quickly flew away from the scene with a smiling expression.
