Wei got up early on this day, earlier than any time on weekdays.

After putting on his clothes, Wei looked at the still dark sky outside the window, sighed inexplicably, and then sat alone on the edge of the bed in a daze.

"Giggles!"

It wasn't until the rooster in the yard sang that Wei Lai came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He looked out the window again, and the east showed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

"Not good. He cursed himself and quickly stood up.

But he still didn't rush out, but walked to the wooden frame where the basin was placed, first wiped his face with a towel, and then took the bronze mirror in the corner for the first time, and took care of his hair seriously in front of the bronze mirror. After doing this, he checked his appearance repeatedly, but when he saw the white-washed linen clothes on his body, his brow furrowed.

In distress, his eyes suddenly flashed, as if he remembered something, and he quickly came to the bed and lay down his body. There was a small wooden box underneath the wooden bed. Wei Lai exerted all his strength, gritted his teeth, and dragged the wooden box out from under the bed.

Open the wooden box, and there are some miscellaneous items inside.

Candlesticks, daggers, a yellowed ancient book......

Wei Lai took those out in one go, and then looked at the bottom of the box, and suddenly a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There, there was a neatly folded and cleanly washed white shirt.

......

When Wei Lai walked to the door of the Lu Mansion.

Cao Tongyun, who was squatting at the foot of the door and teasing the yellow dog, looked up at Wei Lai, was slightly stunned, and scolded: "People look like dogs." ”

Lu Guanshan, who was standing with his hands in his hands, nodded with a smile and said, "It is quite a father's style. ”

Lu Yan'er smiled and said, "Ah Lai looks a little good-looking, and maybe he can deceive a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Wei Lai scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a smirk: "Let's go." ”

Today's Wei Lai is indeed a little different, he has changed into new riding boots, put on a white shirt, his face is free of dirty dust, and there is an extra hairpin on his head.

It is not difficult to see that today is very special for Wei Lai - the day when Lu Yan'er and Zhao Tianyan left Wupan City was advanced to today, the specific reason Wei Lai did not know, but it was not difficult to guess that this decision was directly related to everything that happened yesterday.

When Wei Lai followed the group to the city gate, the Zhao family's carriage and horses had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.

Seeing Lu Guanshan and others, Zhao Gongbai and his son greeted them with a group of servants, Zhao Gongbai was naturally very enthusiastic, and pulled Lu Guanshan and began to greet him, Lu Yan'er saw his lover, and he smiled like honey, and stood together with him, but Wei Lai and the old man surnamed Cao and his yellow dog with a wine gourd were thrown over, and no one cared about them.

Cao Tongyun didn't know what he was thinking, he came here because he was entrusted by Lu Guanshan and wanted to accept Wei Lai as an apprentice, but after being rejected by Wei Lai, not only did he not leave, but he also lived in Lu Mansion leisurely. In addition to walking the dog and drinking every day, when he finds an opportunity, he will find Wei Lai to knock on the side and tell him how the Datong Tiangang Mountain is so good, and he will not give up if he does not abduct Wei Lai.

The others only regarded him as a new servant in the Lu Mansion and didn't care about him. But the old man is not an idle person, this old man who is not unattended came to Wei Lai's side, looked at the golden boy and jade girl standing not far away, and then said in Wei Lai's ear as if joking: "Boy, are you envious? Let me tell you, although our Tiangang Mountain is not as good as the Boundless Academy, it is also one of the top ten sects in the north, if you are..."

Even though no one would notice this at this time, Wei Lai still had a smirk on his face, and replied in a voice that only the old man could hear: "My father said that only dogs can use human power." ”

When Cao Tongyun heard this, he subconsciously thought that this Wei Lai was falling behind him, but when he was about to have a seizure, he was stunned, and then he reacted, the boy was talking about himself.

He couldn't help but change his gaze when he looked at the boy, and sighed with some regret in his heart: If it weren't for his hidden illness, this heart alone would be enough to make the holy sons of those sects in the north be ashamed of themselves.

Zhao Gongbai is a scholar and a particular person.

At the beginning, the reason why the day of travel was chosen on the eighth day of the fifth month was that he asked Mr. Zhou, a fortune teller in the city, to read the yellow calendar, and the eighth day of the fifth month was a good day to go out to study. And now the day of travel has been changed to the sixth day of the fifth month, which is not a good day, so you have to pick a good time.

And this good hour is the hour that is still half an hour away.

In order to ensure that the carriage could leave the city gate on time, Zhao Gongbai lit the incense used for timekeeping. Seeing that the parting was coming, Lu Yan'er also had red eyes, first took her father's hand, choked up and kept talking, such as taking care of your body, resting well, or not staying up late, and said it over and over again, and she was still bored. It wasn't until Lu Guanshan interrupted his daughter with a smile and stretched out his finger to point at Wei Lai, who was smirking on the side, that Lu Yan'er put away his chatter and walked to Wei Lai again.

Wei Lai greeted Lu Yan'er very solemnly.

He even restrained his smile to make himself look a little more like a normal person. In the end, he didn't forget to straighten his clothes, and then he looked at Lu Yan'er again.

It's just that this approach was exchanged for Lu Yan'er's white eyes.

"On weekdays, if you're all dressed up, not so many people think of you as a fool. Lu Yan'er said angrily.

When Wei Lai heard this, the smile that had just been restrained by him unconsciously rippled on his face, silly and stupid, and there was a smell of spring breeze transiting.

"Miss likes it, and she will wear it like this since she came. ”

"Poof. Lu Yan'er, who was already rolling in tears, heard this, but burst into laughter.

She really remembers that Wei Lai said a few years ago that she liked to eat steamed buns in a store in the west of the city, and since then, regardless of wind or rain, he has been waiting in front of the steamed bun shop every day to buy a drawer of steamed buns and bring them to himself. But no matter how delicious the steamed buns are, if you eat too much, you will feel tasteless, and later, the steamed buns sent by Wei Lai will become a burden, and she is not easy to say bluntly, so she can only take the steamed buns every day, turn her head and secretly throw them away.

Later, he was accidentally seen by Wei Lai, and he was sad for a long time, and Lu Yan'er didn't coax him, but later he seemed to understand this truth and stopped sending it.

Now that I think about it, probably only someone who really likes you will do so many things for you rain or shine, so that you yourself start to get bored, but he is still happy to do it.

Thinking about it, the tears swirling in Lu Yan'er's eyes couldn't be contained.

She snorted, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the tears, and then she said, "You, no matter how good the clothes are, you can't wear them all the time! I will ask my father to buy you a few more clothes, and you have to change them, and you have to wash them, you know?"

Wei Lai nodded busily, and replied loudly, "Got it, Miss." ”

Wei Lai's heartless stupidity always makes people laugh and angry, but he doesn't know where to sprinkle when he comes out.

Lu Yan'er naturally didn't have the heart to scold Wei Lai as before at this time, she was about to say something, but Zhao Tianyan, who was tall and handsome, walked behind her, and after saluting Wei Lai and the others, she whispered in Lu Yan'er's ear: "Yan'er, the time has come, it's time for us to get in the car." ”

The look on Lu Yan'er's face darkened, and he instructed Wei to come again, and then waved goodbye to everyone, and some lonely followed Zhao Tianyan to the carriage.

When the incense burns out, the auspicious time has arrived.

With a wave of his whip, the carriage drove out of the city gates.

Lu Guanshan and Wei Lai waved goodbye to Lu Yan'er, who poked his head out of the window, until the carriage completely drove out of their sight, and the two men, one old and one young, tacitly withdrew their hands.

Then there was a long silence.

Cao Tongyun tilted his head and glanced at the boy with his head down and his shoulders trembling slightly, he pursed his lips, and said softly in a rare tone: "If you want to cry, you have to cry, it's good to hold back." ”

The tremor of the boy's shoulders stopped at that moment, and then suddenly he looked up at the sky.

"It's going to rain. He said.

Cao Tongyun was stunned for a moment, thinking that the sun was about to climb into the air, where would there be any rain.

Click.

But together with this thought, an object slapped on the door of his head.

It was dark and the rain was pouring down.

The old man was stunned again, and said secretly: Evil door. I was about to ask Wei Lai, where did he learn this ability to observe the sky.

But just as he looked at Wei Lai, he saw that the boy was looking up at the Confucian beside him, and asked, "He's afraid, right?"

Confucius was also soaked, he looked at the sky, and the smile on his face was also a little silly: "I'm afraid." ”

The old man froze in place, and for a moment he seemed to realize something, and he turned his head sharply to look at the dome of the torrential rain.

He remembered what his master had said to him a long, long time ago.

The better the sword in the world, the better the scabbard is needed.

The longer the sword is hidden in its sheath, the sharper it becomes.

Once the sword is out of its sheath one day......

The river is breathing, the sun and the moon are dark, the ten thousand sounds are silent, the gods and men... Keep your head down.

He thought that for the Confucian in front of him, his daughter was his sheath......
