Chapter 426: Marriage 4
The green tiles and white walls, the streams and people's houses, except for the children and women in the ordinary secular towns, are almost no different from the ordinary Jiangnan towns.
Qingshi Long Street kept walking, although Chu Qingqiu still had a cold little face and habitually put up a shelf, but he still walked very close to Ye Xiaogu between walks.
Ye Xiaogu looked around casually, and there was no emotion on his face.
Surrounded by streams, there are occasional mosses that have not been taken care of for a long time on the green tiles, and the storefronts on both sides of the streets and alleys have removed some stationery and no secular department stores.
Only the occasional sound of reading made Ye Xiaogu remember that this place was called Xiao Xiang Academy.
Chu Qingqiu walked and walked, and when he walked across the small bridge by the stream, he suddenly stopped Ye Xiaogu, pointed to the small fish under the bridge, and said happily.
"You see, the fish are a couple, too. ”
When Ye Xiaogu heard this, he secretly raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chu Qingqiu, and really didn't have any words for this girl in his heart.
Obviously, there was such a big ugliness, Chu Qingqiu could still have the leisure to watch Xiaoyuer on the bridge, which really opened Ye Xiaogu's eyes.
Seeing Ye Xiaogu's response, Chu Qingqiu turned his head and glanced at Ye Xiaogu, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said.
"Why are you looking at me? I'll show you the little fish under the bridge. ”
“.................. It's almost over, if you want to die, I'll die, why are you panicking?"
Although Chu Qingqiu's words were flat, he still couldn't help but tremble a little when his fingertips pointed at the small fish under the bridge.
Ye Xiaogu doesn't say anything else, he really has a special sensitivity to women's emotions, which is really natural.
As soon as Chu Qingqiu heard Ye Xiaogu expose his thoughts, his eyes flickered, and the tears in his eyes flashed, as if he was really going to cry.
Seeing Chu Qingqiu like this, Ye Xiaogu casually looked around and joked.
"You want me to serve you, don't you? This place is fine, I'll hold you on this bridge to play. After a while, you will be in high spirits, and you can show the little fish below what it means to be like a water. ”
Chu Qingqiu was also worried in his heart, on the one hand, he was afraid that his grandfather would really kill Ye Xiaogu, and on the other hand, he was worried that Ye Xiaogu would really marry him in the future, and how he would practice in this Xiaoxiang Academy in the future.
In my mind, Xiao Xiang Academy is the place where Chu Qingqiu has lived for a hundred years, and now seeing this small bridge and flowing water, I really have some feelings for a while.
It's just that Chu Qingqiu's mood hasn't been up for long, and he was directly destroyed by Ye Xiaogu's joke, maybe he won't have a good impression when he sees this small bridge and flowing water in the future.
For a while, Chu Qingqiu was also ashamed and angry, and slapped Ye Xiaogu on the shoulder a few times with his pink fist, and said shyly.
"Why are you so insulting? This little bridge and flowing water are so poetic, and you have ruined it!"
"I haven't started to mess up yet, what's the hurry? Do you really want to try it here? I think I'm ashamed, why don't you come in the evening?"
Ye Xiaogu saw Chu Qingqiu's beautiful face, and he also laughed casually.
Chu Qingqiu listened to Ye Xiaogu's words, and chased Ye Xiaogu for a while.
The two of them were talking about making trouble, and they hadn't chased down the small bridge yet, just after half of it, Chu Qingqiu saw Ye Xiaogu slow down, and asked curiously for a while.
"What's wrong?"
“..................................”
Ye Xiaogu saw from afar that the old man Chu Boyi was guarding the alley with a group of disciples in the distance.
For a while, I was really taken aback by this battle, and I was still preparing words in my heart.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qingqiu saw that Ye Xiaogu was not leaving, and he didn't know if he took Ye Xiaogu's joke seriously, so he approached Ye Xiaogu's ear with a chuckle and whispered softly.
"If you really want to come here with me, then we can come and see it at night~"
When the words fell, so that he would not die, Chu Qingqiu was very bold and reached out and rubbed it twice under Ye Xiaogu.
As soon as Ye Xiaogu heard Chu Qingqiu's words, he felt Chu Qingqiu's movements before he could react.
The fence on this small bridge is not high, although ordinary people can't see the details clearly, but a monk like Old Man Chu Boyi can naturally see it clearly.
Out of the corner of his eye, the old man Chu Boyi saw that the faces of many children of the Chu family were different, and he couldn't help but be angry for a while, and quickly stepped forward two steps, and greeted in a deep voice.
"Qingqiu!
Old man Chu Boyi's angry low drink also made Chu Qingqiu panic for a while, and he subconsciously pinched Ye Xiaogu.
Ye Xiaogu already felt a little after being rubbed twice, but he was pinched by Chu Qingqiu again, and he really couldn't get rid of it for a while.
Chu Qingqiu didn't have time to care about Ye Xiaogu, Qingli's pretty face turned slightly red, but she walked directly in front of the old man Chu Boyi in three or two steps.
Facing his precious granddaughter, although the old man Chu Boyi put on a face, he didn't scold anything, and turned his head to signal Chu Qingqiu to go behind.
The old man Fang Jiayuan on the side directly led Chu Qingqiu away, and he didn't follow to see the excitement.
Chu Qingqiu thought about it, but Ye Xiaogu was miserable.
At the moment, Ye Xiaogu didn't say anything, wearing a long shirt and setting up a tent, it really made Ye Xiaogu feel ashamed.
Ye Xiaogu tried his best not to think about it, but it still took some time to recover as before.
The old man Chu Boyi in a remote place was already so angry that he was willing to give Ye Xiaogu this little time, but he shouted coldly at the moment.
"Come here!"
“.....................................”
When Ye Xiaogu heard this, he pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, but found that he couldn't laugh.
On the one hand, he angered the old man Chu Boyi, and on the other hand, he was a little ugly, and Ye Xiaogu naturally knew the severity.
It's just that when Ye Xiaogu walked over slowly, it would inevitably make these Chu family children look different for a while.
These Chu family disciples had already seen it before, Chu Qingqiu chuckled and stretched out his hand to probe Ye Xiaogu, but when Ye Xiaogu really walked out, he couldn't help but glance at each other, with such an expression on his face.
Although Chu Qingqiu had only been back for three or two days, the rumors about Chu Qingqiu, the extremely beautiful senior sister of Gao Leng, had actually spread secretly.
The source of the rumors is naturally Chen Shuqing, who had seen Ye Xiaogu and the two in mid-air, and in the face of his long-coveted junior sister, Chen Shuqing naturally took the lead in Ye Xiaogu.
You must know that Chu Qingqiu can even be said to be Chen Shuqing's stepping stone to enter the Chu family and take charge of Xiao Xiang Academy.
Now that he was chased by Ye Xiaogu who suddenly appeared in a blink of an eye, Chen Shuqing naturally didn't say anything good.
Between the words of the same disciple, Chu Qingqiu was naturally able to step on it, and all the dirty and filthy words were said to her, and even Ye Xiaogu became the key object of description.
It's just that it's not that Ye Xiaogu is handsome and handsome, but it mainly emphasizes that Ye Xiaogu's ability is extraordinary and he has amazing specialties.
This rumor spread in Xiao Xiang Academy, and the children of the Chu family naturally heard about it.
Originally, the children of the Chu family were still fighting hard based on reason, but they didn't expect that in the end, they really felt a little slapped in the face.
"Ahem~....................."
Things came to this point, Ye Xiaogu could only bear everyone's eyes, so he proudly put up the banner and walked in front of everyone, coughing lightly, which can be regarded as breaking this unspeakable embarrassment.
"Chu Boyi's senior. ”
After a simple hello, Ye Xiaogu felt that he was a little short of words in this situation.
Chu Boyi was really angry and trembling when he saw Ye Xiaogu's appearance, and he couldn't wait to kill Ye Xiaogu on the spot.
However, there are so many children of the Chu family here, and Chu Qingqiu has been eaten by this dog that suddenly came out, and the old man Chu Boyi can't make a move no matter how angry he is.
"Come in with me!"
Suppressing his anger, Old Man Chu Boyi didn't want to look at Ye Xiaogu more, turned around and walked towards the gate.
At this point, Ye Xiaogu couldn't say that he had escaped or anything, and slowly followed.
As soon as the two left, the rest of the Chu family disciples immediately exploded.
"I didn't expect the rumors to be true, Senior Sister Chu really found such a man. ”
"That's too long, it's completely incongruous, like a dog. ”
"How can a dog be so long, it's clearly a horse. ”
"You really have too little knowledge, according to the records of the beast book, the appearance of the dragon and tiger in life, that is clearly the length of the tiger whip. ”
"Is a tiger that long?"
..............................................
Between the trivial words, these children of the Chu family were really messed up, but after a while, the entire Xiao Xiang Academy spread the news again.
The more the matter spread, the more mysterious it became, and in the end, somehow it became a competition again, and everyone secretly compared the length and short, and they didn't know how Ye Xiaogu would react when he heard these words.
It's just that right now, Ye Xiaogu doesn't have the heart to care about any trivial words.
The courtyard of the Chu family, like the entire Xiao Xiang Academy, is not conspicuous.
The bluestone on the ground is faintly seen in the small pit formed by the water dripping from the eaves, and the yard is also very quiet and elegant, but the four walls are high, and the lighting is not particularly good, and it is too depressing.
There are lanterns hanging in the corridor three or five steps, and it still looks very bright in the night.
Ye Xiaogu followed the old man Chu Boyi for a while, and finally recovered as before, barely embarrassing.
Just when Ye Xiaogu was about to say a few words, he didn't expect that the old man Chu Boyi reached out and pushed open the door of a room and said coldly.
"Get in. ”
Ye Xiaogu saw that the old man Chu Boyi did not take a step, and wanted to wait for the main family to go in first, but after waiting for a while, he didn't seem to see the old man Chu Boyi taking a step, so he had to walk in with an embarrassed smile.
"Bang!!"
As soon as Ye Xiaogu stepped into the room on his hind feet, he didn't expect the old man Chu Boyi behind him to slam the door shut.
Ye Xiaogu looked at the wooden door behind him with a stunned expression, and wondered why this old man Chu Boyi didn't come in, but suddenly rows of candles gradually lit up in the room.
Under the swagger of candlelight, the whole room seemed extraordinarily empty.
Ye Xiaogu turned his head and didn't look at it twice, and his heart skipped a beat again.
There are no tables, chairs or benches in this room, and it is not a place to meet guests, let alone a place to rest.
At the beginning, there was an incense case, on which stood dozens of spirit tablets with black background and white paint, which was clearly an ancestral hall.
Although Ye Xiaogu vaguely felt that something was not right, but when he thought that this might be the custom of the Chu family, he didn't think about running away at the moment, but walked over slowly with a frown.
And just when Ye Xiaogu walked in less than ten steps, a man walked out slowly and said lightly.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
When Ye Xiaogu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and looked at the man in the distance by the light, and he really didn't remember who it was for a while.
This man is not tall, his body is thin, and he looks a little less energetic, but there are still some bones of the past between his eyebrows.
"I came to you today to ask for the matter of the Moon Covering. ”
Ye Xiaogu was still a little confused for a while, but the man said quietly.
With these words, Ye Xiaogu finally vaguely remembered the name of this person.
"Cloud........ Hongyun ........ Chu Hongyun?!"
As soon as he thought of this name, Ye Xiaogu's heart jumped suddenly, and it seemed that everything was connected in a trance.
It turns out that everything is really a scam? But just for the revenge of holding a few slaps, it won't be so big, right? Even Chu Qingqiu, this woman, is too sacrificial, right?
Between thoughts, Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, looking at Chu Hongyun in the distance, he really didn't know what to say for a while.
After all, Chu Hongyun had only met Ye Xiaogu once in the Occult Moon Tower.
Although Ye Xiaogu slapped him a few times, it was also because Chu Hongyun stopped Ye Xiaogu and asked Ye Xiaogu to give him Chen Yao and Liu Shengyan.
It's a small thing, but it's far from necessarily complicated.
A thought flashed, Ye Xiaogu frowned and looked at the spiritual position behind Chu Hongyun, and it was difficult to speak for a while.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
The candlelight flickered, and the room seemed a little trance-like.
There are few cigarettes on the incense case, reflecting the spiritual position of white paint on a black background, which also makes people's hearts sink slightly for a while.
Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly and looked at the spirit position in the distance and was silent, Chu Hongyun waited for a while, and didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to sell Guan Zi, tremblingly pointed to the name on the spirit position, and said in a deep voice.
"Chu Tianhong, the twenty-third disciple of Xiao Xiang Academy in the previous generation, likes music and is familiar with music theory. ”
"Chu Zhiyi, the thirty-sixth disciple of the former generation of Xiao Xiang Academy, is good at calligraphy and painting. ”
"Chu Xingbo, the sixteenth disciple of Xiao Xiang Academy in the previous generation, was proficient in deduction techniques, and was once considered the hope of recovering the six arts of Confucianism. ”
..............................................................
"The seventy-three spiritual positions here are the backbone of my Chu family in the last generation, and they are also the hope of the revival of my Xiao Xiang lineage!"
After Chu Hongyun finished speaking, his gaze was withdrawn from the spiritual position, and he glanced back at Ye Xiaogu lightly, and said.
"Mr. Ye, aren't you going to say something?"
When Ye Xiaogu heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he really couldn't keep up with Chu Hongyun's train of thought for a while.
The people of this Chu family feel that they are all divine.
Frowning slightly, Ye Xiaogu pursed his lips, and he didn't have the heart to stay here with Chu Hongyun.
Even if he was pestered by Chu Qingqiu all the time and made a fool of himself everywhere, Ye Xiaogu was unwilling to stay here with Chu Hongyun.
This row of spiritual positions, there is little smoke, Ye Xiaogu doesn't feel infiltrated, but he just thinks of the old man of Nanyuan who used to be in Nanshi, and it is inevitable that there is some awkwardness in his heart for a while.
"If you have something to say, just say it, you point to these things and read them again, there is no beginning or end, and I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, but couldn't help but speak.
The words were full of randomness, but it also made Chu Hongyun's face slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"What are you pretending to be! My Chu family is the backbone of the lineage, and it was lost to your Feng Bao'er! In the past, I was extremely talented, and I was crowned with Yixiao Xiang, but now I am like this! What do you take back!"
Ye Xiaogu was startled by Chu Hongyun's sudden low drink at the beginning, but when he heard Bao'er's name, he calmed down a lot for a while.
This big fox who doesn't give Ye Xiaogu peace of mind, I don't know what he did, anyway, it is always indispensable to get out of the dust and mud, and there are many resentments.
Ye Xiaogu should have dissociated himself from Bao'er at this moment, after all, this Chu Hongyun didn't recognize himself in the Hidden Moon Tower at the beginning, and he must have found out the news about himself later.
Speaking of which, in fact, Chu Hongyun only knew that Ye Xiaogu had lived with Bao'er for a while, but he didn't know what the relationship between Ye Xiaogu and Bao'er was.
At present, Ye Xiaogu is stronger than others in this Xiao Xiang Academy, and Ye Xiaogu should not be this strong.
"How do you want me to pay it back?"
It's just that Ye Xiaogu still responded lightly, and he didn't deny anything.
When Chu Hongyun heard Ye Xiaogu's words, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a trace of tyranny and unprovoked color flashed in his eyes.
What Chu Hongyun is most afraid of is that Ye Xiaogu said that he has nothing to do with Bao'er, so Chu Hongyun is really difficult to start.
But since Ye Xiaogu's words were answered, Chu Hongyun naturally didn't mind talking to Ye Xiaogu about this compensation.
In the small door on the side of the room, with Ye Xiaogu's answer, the old man Chu Boyi, who had just asked Ye Xiaogu to come in, also walked in slowly.
Compared with the anger at the beginning, the old man Chu Boyi seemed extraordinarily calm at this moment.
It's just that the more calm this look, the more angry the anger in my heart is.
Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, looking at the old man Chu Boyi who walked out slowly.
The old man Chu Boyi walked slowly to the incense case, took the green incense handed by Chu Hongyun, and offered incense to the children of the Chu family of the previous generation above the incense case.
Ye Xiaogu saw that this atmosphere was not right, and his feet moved back slightly by half an inch, and he vaguely felt that something might happen in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaogu's feet moved, and the old man Chu Boyi, who was facing Ye Xiaogu's incense, said lightly.
"Qingqiu is my favorite junior, Rao is the first talent of Hongyun in the past, and I also asked my old friend to teach Qingqiu, not Hongyun. ”
"I originally thought it had nothing to do with you, but since you were so stubborn, you had to bear it. In front of the more than 70 members of the Chu family, I can't show favoritism. ”
"Qingqiu is rare to you, but she also confessed that you have no intention of marrying her, and asked me not to force you in this matter. That's fine, the old man has a choice. ”
“...................... I'll cut off your legs and spare you from death. ”
"Bang!!"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Xiaogu listened to the words of the old man Chu Boyi, and he was really creepy for a while, his right arm thundered together, and the true yuan in the yuan body burst out in an instant, just trying to escape!
In fact, Ye Xiaogu also thought of Bao'er, who he hadn't seen for a long time, just now, and some emotions came to his heart.
If he really knew that this old man Chu Boyi would come, Ye Xiaogu would not be so iron-headed, and he had to be quick at this time.
