The dim candle flame illuminates the building, a palace with a dignified interior and atmosphere. There are various jade carvings hanging on the walls, and the throne in the center of the hall is inlaid with all kinds of jewels. There was a table on the left and right sides of the Great Highness, but on the table were a sword and a sword.

On the table on the left is a knife without a scabbard, and the candle flame on the table clearly reflects the candlelight on the blade. On the table on the right is a sword in a sheath, with a dragon's head at the end of the hilt, and two small scarlet balls wrapped around the spike. The scabbard is depicted with intricate dragon patterns, and the shape is realistic, as if traveling all over the world.

At this moment, Chen Linxuan was lying under His Royal Highness, unconscious. On the throne of the main hall, a woman in palace clothes suddenly appeared, the woman was beautiful, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes were like clear springs, her skin was creamy, and her lips were red like peach blossoms. The face is thin, but the expression on the face is extremely indifferent, and I can't see joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. A pool of autumn water-like eyes stared at Chen Linxuan, who fell to the ground and did not wake up, and what he held in his right hand was a jade pendant.

The shape of the jade pendant is also the shape of a shell, with only half a fan, and the jade surface is smooth and neat. The woman stretched out her left hand, her index finger was slightly hooked, and she saw the jade pendant worn by Chen Linxuan slowly floating towards the woman. When she got the jade pendant, the woman lightly shot out a trace of aura, and the pattern on the jade pendant flashed with a milky white light, only to hear a low dragon groan.

"So you're her descendant. ”

……

"Sister Qinyu ~ Sister Qinyu ~" A beautiful little girl ran into the house and ran towards Ao Qinyu who was sitting on a chair reading a book. When he got to his side, he buried his head in Ao Qinyu's arms and cried, "Woo woo... My mother said that she would move to Chang'an to live... Whining... Let me, let me say goodbye to Sister Qinyu. ”

"Why did you suddenly move to Chang'an to live?" asked Ao Qinyu gently patting the little girl's back and comforting her.

"In the past few days, my cousin has been coming to my house to make trouble, and they have been making insulting remarks to my mother. My mother felt that my father was gone, and this was not something we could stay in after all, so we had to move back to the old house in Chang'an. The little girl stopped crying, and took out a handkerchief from her bosom, in which something was wrapped.

The little girl opened the handkerchief and revealed the contents wrapped inside, which was a small jade pendant, in the form of a half-scallop shell, with a neat jade surface and a smooth incision.

"Sister Qinyu, this is what I bought with the broken silver that my mother gave me, and I gave it to you, thank you for taking care of me all these years and teaching me poetry, books and scriptures. The little girl handed the jade pendant to Ao Qinyu.

"Since it is a parting gift, then I will accept it, and when you leave, I will send you off. Ao Qinyu took the jade pendant and took the little girl's hand into the yard.

The mother said that she would get up and go to Chang'an in three days. The little girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said some reluctant private words with Ao Qinyu, and said goodbye to her home when it was close to noon.

After the little girl left, Ao Qinyu took out the jade pendant she had given, and her green jade fingers gently rubbed the surface of the jade, thinking about something.

Three days later, on the street out of the city, a convoy slowly drove towards the city gate. Suddenly, a fair woman in a veil stopped the convoy.

"Who are you, and why are you stuck in the road?" asked a servant who stepped out of the convoy. "I'm a friend of your little lady, and I'm here to say goodbye. The woman replied indifferently.

A small head came out of the carriage, it was the little girl who was looking for Ao Qinyu to say goodbye that day, the little girl called Sister Qinyu, and got out of the carriage and walked over quickly.

Ao Qinyu greeted him, took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and said: "This is the jade pendant I asked the craftsman to create in the past few days, you wear it and keep a memory." "The shape of the jade pendant is the same as the one that the little girl gave to Ao Qinyu, the difference is that there are some patterns on this piece, and the carving is exquisite. The jade pendant was threaded with a slender red rope, and Ao Qinyu put the jade on the little girl's neck, said a few words and left.

After the little girl got into the carriage, she took out a jade pendant from her chest and looked at a middle-aged woman, and said, "Mother, Sister Qinyu just gave me a jade pendant." ”

"Since it was given to you by Miss Qinyu, you have to take it well. The lady touched the little girl's head dotingly, and said, "Miss Qinyu treats you like a sister, and teaches you poetry, books, and scriptures." If you are destined to see you again in the future, you must treat him with courtesy, can you understand?" "Well, I know my mother. The little girl nodded obediently.

……

"How many hundred years have I slept with me?" muttered the seated woman in the hall.

After pondering for a while, the woman gently threw the jade pendant back, and the jade pendant automatically floated back to Chen Linxuan's neck. The woman pinched a trick, waved her sleeves, and after a burst of blue light, Chen Linxuan disappeared, leaving only one sentence in his mind: "After January, I will come to look for you." ”

Chen Linxuan came back to his senses and found that he was standing on the bank of the river, staring straight at the fishing boat floating on the river, his feet about to step into the water. Frightened, he quickly took a few steps back, patted his forehead, and carefully recalled what had just happened, but he couldn't remember anything. There is only a shallow memory of one sentence in my mind: after a month...

Chen Linxuan pondered for a while, and found that he really couldn't remember why he almost stepped into the water just now, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and walked towards the school after swaying for a while.

Back at school, Tan Xin and Yuan Xiang had already gotten up, and the two were drying their freshly washed clothes. Tan Xin helped Yuan Xiang pull two ropes in the corridor on the second floor to dry clothes, and the clothes full of youthful atmosphere added a touch of vitality to the small building that had not been inhabited for a long time.

After the three of them were free, they decided to start preparing for the start of school the day after tomorrow. There are more than a dozen students in the town's primary school, all of them in the same grade, and they are third-grade students when school starts.

Not long after preparing for class, the old principal came with the four former teachers to do the handover work with them, and at the same time told them about the situation of the students. This group of children is sensible, more serious in class, and there are fewer things to worry about. If it weren't for the problem of educational resources, the students' learning progress would be much faster.

"In fact, there are a lot of people in the town, but there are only a dozen children, and the county can't allocate resources to help us. The old principal said: "Most of the young people in the town and nearby villages go out to work, and few stay in the town to start a family and have children. went out to work and gave birth to a child, and would rather squeeze a small house in the city than go back to the town. Why? Isn't it because they are afraid that their children will suffer and that their education will not be able to keep up with their old ways in the future. ”

After chatting with them for a while, the old principal left with a few teachers, and before leaving, he told them to come to his house for dinner in the evening.

In the evening, Chen Linxuan stopped his homework and called Tan Xin to go to dinner with Yuan Xiang. When the three of them arrived at the old principal's house, they saw that the old principal had opened a bottle of liquor and was waiting.

"Can you two young men drink, can you drink with the old man in the evening?" asked the old headmaster with a smile.

"The elder has a life, don't dare to disobey, the kid will accompany you to have a drink tonight. Chen Linxuan replied with a smile, and after washing his hands, he picked up the wine bottle and poured a full glass for the old principal, and then asked, "Grandma Zhang, do you want to have a drink?" The old principal's wife's surname is Zhang, a local.

"I don't drink it, hehe, you just drink it, you drink it. Grandma Zhang said with a smile.

"What about you?" Chen Linxuan asked Tan Xin and Yuan Xiang.

"I'll drink some," Tan Xin replied with a smile.

"I want it too, I want it too!" Yuan Xiang handed over the wine glass, his eyes staring at the wine bottle as if it was something delicious.

Chen Linxuan suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly asked, "Yuan Xiang, have you ever drunk?"

Yuan Xiang replied: "I've drunk it, I usually drank it with my roommates in the dormitory, don't worry." ”

Chen Linxuan relieved himself and poured half a cup for her, then poured a cup for Tan Xin, and finally poured another cup for himself. The cup is the kind of glass, one or two more than a glass, and a few people lose half a bottle of wine after a bottle.

"Come, I salute you with this glass of wine, and thank you for your hard work in coming to our poor town to teach. The old headmaster took the lead in raising his glass and said.

"Principal, we aspire to be teachers, and it is our honor to have this opportunity to educate our students in advance. Chen Linxuan stood up and said.

"Yes, principal, it's our honor to come to your teaching, as long as you don't dislike us for misleading people's children, hahahaha. Tan Xin also stood up.

Yuan Xiang then stood up and said, "Principal, it's not easy for the children, we people can do our part to help them, so we will do our part." Not worthy of such gratitude. ”

"Okay, you are all good children, good pillars of the country. The old principal stood up, clinked glasses with them, and then drank them all, "This cup is for you on behalf of the children of Yun'an Town, and I did it to you as you please." ”

"Headmaster, drink slowly. Chen Linxuan and the three of them were so frightened that they hurriedly raised their glasses and drank them, but Yuan Xiang choked and coughed as soon as he drank it. Grandma Zhang hurriedly patted her on the back to help her breathe: "Yuan girl, what's wrong with you?"

"Why is this wine so spicy?" Yuan Xiang coughed for a while, and then said after calming down, with tears in his eyes.

"Isn't that what liquor is meant to be, didn't you say you drank wine, why did you choke yourself?" Chen Linxuan asked with a smile.

"I... I drank the kind of cocktails that were in the supermarket. Yuan Xiang snorted.

"Cocktails... That kind of liquor is only a few degrees, this is more than 30 degrees of liquor, how can it be compared? Why didn't you say it earlier? Tan Xin couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.

"I... I thought it was about the same, but I wanted to drink a little bit when you all drank it, and they all said it was delicious. Yuan Xiang slowed down and said slowly. When he raised his head, his face was already flushed, obviously because of the strength of the wine.

"Yuan Yatou can't drink it, old woman, go and get a bottle of milk brought by my son when he came back last month and give Yuan Yatou a hangover. After the old principal finished speaking, he beckoned a few people to eat.

After eating a meal, the old principal drank two more cups, and Chen Linxuan and Tan Xin only drank half a cup more. Yuan Xiang was dizzy from drinking, so Grandma Zhang arranged for her to live at home.
