Chapter 23: Thunder
The crape myrtle has a small skeleton, the whole person is slender and petite, and with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, it looks very delicate and beautiful;
With a smile, he liked it very much, and he was an old man he had known before, so when the newcomer met him, he rewarded the water crape myrtle, and generously took a wedding leave, and the time was compared to the end of Yinluo Shuilou: one month;
Shui Jimin saw that his son-in-law treated his daughter very well, and said that his son-in-law grew up watching him since he was a child, and he understood what kind of character he had, so he didn't have anything to worry about, so he only stayed for a few days and asked to see Hanxiao to return to Shuicheng.
Xiaoxiao asked Shui Jimin to sit down, and after serving tea, he waved his hand to let the little maids go down.
Seeing this, Shui Jimin's face condensed slightly, and he put away the ease on his face.
Hanxiao thought about it and asked the deep question in his heart: "Has Uncle Ji heard Daddy say that after the business is handed over to his brother on the surface, what does Daddy plan to do? Daddy has just reached middle age, and he is in the prime of life and full of energy, is he just raising himself like this and doing nothing?"
There are also stepbrothers and stepsisters, who are always the children of our Shui family, doesn't my father have any arrangements for them?"
A hint of obvious smile appeared on Shui Jimin's face: "The third aunt and grandmother have this filial piety, and the master doesn't know how happy he is! The third aunt and grandmother, please rest assured, the master does not plan to go to the old age, but is ready to travel the world, just like the third aunt and grandmother did when they were in the boudoir: play around, experience themselves, and open their eyes, the most important thing is that the master wants to improve his martial arts cultivation." I want to come to the master to practice martial arts since he was a child, but now the stewards around the third aunt and grandmother have surpassed the master, and the master is unwilling!!"
Laughing and smiling, he smiled a little embarrassed.
When he got married two years ago, Daddy Shui Changxiao's watermark recipe was cultivated to the seventh layer, and the tent room Shui and Shunhe Grand Steward Chi Xuanqi around him were both eight-layer; now the four stewards around him have all been cultivated at the seventh level, especially Shui Chenhong has reached the peak of the seventh-layer post-level, and will soon be able to break through the eighth-layer; Yinluo Lujiao has also reached the seventh-layer peak; she herself has broken through the eighth-layer; even if Daddy is happy about their progress in his heart, it is normal to be a little unwilling in his heart. Woo woo~ My daughter is not filial!
A smile flashed in Shui Jimin's eyes, and he continued: "That's why the master will divide the family property so happily, and at that time, the master will not have to worry about these mundane things, and he can concentrate on cultivating martial arts."
Madame, the third son, the four girls, the lord has all arranged, the third son and the children of the Qingzhou family will follow the path of the imperial examination, the lord will give him a lot of property, even if the imperial examination is not smooth, he can be a rich idler without worry; according to the dowry list of the third aunt and grandmother, the lord bought a rich dowry for the fourth girl, and the fourth girl will definitely be able to marry out in a beautiful way when she grows up; all the properties of the hometown of Shuicheng will be left to the lady, and the third son will marry his own son there at that time, and the lady will not be old and helpless. ”
"It seems that Daddy is planning to concentrate on cultivation, as long as he calms down, his martial arts cultivation will be improved. Said with a smile.
"Yes, the master will be able to get his wish when the time comes. I think that Mrs. Xian once said that the master is too scattered, otherwise he would have been able to reach the peak of the ninth layer with his qualifications, and as long as he had the slightest opportunity, he would be able to break through the realm of the grandmaster. It's a pity that the old man wanted to be the master of the house at that time, and he didn't take the words of the first lady to heart, but now that I think about it, I sigh every time, although I have never regretted it, but I also feel regretful. Shui Jimin's tone of voice was a little emotional. It's something that Hanxiao has never heard of before.
"Does my mother know martial arts, I don't think I've heard of it before!" said with a smile.
"Back then, Mrs. Xian never showed that she knew martial arts in front of us. However, the old slave remembered that when we were practicing, Mrs. Xian often watched from close quarters and was never injured. Shui Jimin recalled.
"In this way, my mother should also be good at martial arts. ”
"Yes, according to the old slave's guess, Mrs. Xian is not only good at martial arts, but also should be a grandmaster!"
Hanxiao was taken aback: "Grandmaster!" How is it possible? It has always only existed in legends, and I have never heard of anyone breaking through the realm of grandmasters, and it seems to be an ethereal existence in Hanxiao's heart. Now someone actually told her: There is someone next to you who is the grandmaster, and that person is your mother. How can you not be surprised? But the person who spoke was an old man whom Hanxiao had always respected very much, and it was difficult for Hanxiao to question it.
Shui Jimin didn't care about Xiaoxiao's obvious suspicions, and it was hard to believe it on anyone. This is just the old slave's private speculation, and there is no actual evidence to prove it. It's good that the third aunt and grandmother have heard it, don't take it to heart. ”
Grinding his teeth with a smile, he endured the dissatisfaction in his heart: "Does Daddy know?" Don't worry, it's so easy to say! That's the grandmaster! That's my mother!
Shui Jimin's face was solemn and serious, and if he hadn't heard the sound of laughter in his heart, he would have almost been fooled. "Of course I know, the old man agrees with the old slave's guess. ”
Stunned with a smile: Daddy agrees, which means that my mother may indeed be a grandmaster!
"How could that mother die of illness?" smiled and thought of when she was a child, her mother held her painful self in her arms and kept comforting her, and she cried with her crying self, the warm embrace, the soft murmur, the sweet taste, the doting eyes, the indulgent smile, the ... , the heart tingled, and the tone became sharp and sharp.
The internal strength gushed out uncontrollably, and one after another sharp sword intent stabbed towards Shui Jimin;
Shui Jimin only felt as if he was facing tens of thousands of sharp swords, and he was in danger of being pierced at any time.
Taking a deep breath, Shui Jimin hurriedly said, "Mrs. Xian is not dead!"
The sword qi is solidified, and it is as still as nothing;
Shui Jimin secretly sighed, and hurriedly explained: "It's true, Mrs. Xian is not dead." At that time, when the old man woke up, the first lady was gone, and there was no trace of a fight in the house, not like it was hijacked, but like the first lady left voluntarily.
A handwritten letter from Mrs. Dec was left on the table, saying that if the old man forgot her, he would treat her as dead. The lord didn't believe it, he had been looking for it all those years, but he didn't find any traces! ”
Listening with a smile: "How is it possible? My mother is not dead, she doesn't want us anymore." ”
Shui Jimin nodded with difficulty under the pressure of smiling internal strength: "At that time, the sons and girls were very young, and the lord was afraid that you would be sad, so he kept saying that the first lady was dead, and the cemetery where you used to pay incense was a mound built by the lord." This time, the old slave came to Minjing, and the old man once confessed: The sons and girls have grown up, and they should know the truth. He also said: No matter what happens, the first lady's love for her children is unquestionable. ”
He sat there with a smile and didn't say a word.
The warmth of that memory......
Seeing this, Shui Jimin retreated from the room.
Looking at the rising sun and verdant flowers and trees outside the house, Shui Jimin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came out alive.
He could feel that although the third aunt's internal strength cultivation was eight layers, it should be one level higher than himself, and it was among the eight layers; he believed that if he did it, the third aunt and grandmother would definitely be able to take his name with a raise of his hand; the third aunt and grandmother's cultivation method was too profound and domineering.
I didn't expect the third aunt and grandmother to reach such a height at such an age!! master, we are old."
Shui Jimin sighed secretly, and walked out of the yard straight as a pine.
……
For the next few days, Xiaoxiao has been in a trance, and everyone around her doesn't know what happened, so they can only serve with extra care.
During this period, Yi'an Bo Shaoling, who was responsible for escorting grain and grass in the Northern Xinjiang War, came to visit, looked at the two children, and gave heavy gifts. Hanxiao didn't care too much, but just told Yang Yuan's housekeeper to entertain him well.
In the blink of an eye, it was another year of cold winter, and the water embedded in the return to Fujian and Beijing brought back the Tuyi from all over the country, among which there was a batch of leather that was particularly excellent, the fur was soft and smooth, and it was very comfortable to touch.
Hanxiao left a few sheets on the soft couch and made a few leather jackets, and gave ten pieces of fog, and the rest were handed over to the water embedding for treatment, whether it was given away or sold, it was with him.
A pair of children wrapped in fur are as cute as pink and jade, and the more they look at it, the more they like it; suddenly they think: Did their mothers look at themselves like this when they were young? Did they also take care of themselves with infinite joy? The mothers in their memories are as gentle as water, and they are full of love when they look at themselves, how can they abandon themselves?
The heart suddenly opened up, and the cold wind outside the house seemed to become gentle;
In the middle of the night, when everything was silent, there was a soft sound in the east wing, and the windows were open; she opened her eyes suddenly, got up and came to the window, just in time to see a black shadow jumping out of the east wing, landing silently, and swept outside without stopping.
With a smile, her heart tightened, the east wing is where the two children live!
A sharp whistle sounded in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and he didn't stop with a smile, and chased him out directly.
The black shadow in front seemed to be very familiar with the Hou Mansion, turned left and right, and disappeared in the blink of an eye;
Hanxiao gritted his teeth, staring at it, he was familiar with the Hou Mansion, and he was no stranger to Hanxiao asking himself, how could he be dumped in the Hou Mansion.
"Ma'am, what's the matter?" I heard someone coming from afar, and not just one person.
Xiaoxiao's footsteps stopped slightly, and he saw Yang Yuan rushing over with a group of people from a distance. With a smile in his eyes, he shouted: "Yang Yuan, immediately block the whole mansion, only enter but not leave, everyone immediately get up and accept inspection;
Yang Yuan looked stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect it to be a smile, and then immediately replied: "Yes, madam!" and scattered people everywhere;
Hanxiao looked at Yang Yuan's distant figure coldly, turned his head, and the black shadow had disappeared.
Hongdan came to Hanxiao's side silently, picked up a coat and draped it over Xiaoxiao. As soon as his body was warm, he smiled and realized that he was only wearing a single coat. The wind on the late autumn night is bitterly cold, and the smiling heart is even colder, like ten thousand years of ice;
The green banana came quietly, and his tone was a little flustered, but he still spoke clearly: "Childe is gone." ”
With a smile, he turned his head suddenly, his long hair flying like a waterfall: "What did you say?"
"The son is gone, the girl is fine. Green Banana said word by word.
Several figures passed by;
Shui Lianhe, Yinluo, Shui Embedding, Shui Chenhong, Shui Heshun, and Chi Xuanqi arrived one after another.
"Brother Xuan is gone, Sister Yue is fine, Yang has a problem. Looking at Chi Xuanqi with a smile, he said coldly. Turning his head to look at the green banana, he said, "You stay and help Steward Chi." Then he turned to Hongdan and said, "Come with me." With that, he turned and walked away, walking in the direction where the shadow had disappeared.
Hong Dan secretly glanced at Chi Xuanqi, hesitated for a moment, and followed.
"Chenhong, you go and keep an eye on Yang Yuan, and if you are discovered, follow him and arrange for people to keep an eye on the people around him. ”
"Lian He, you arrange for people to surround the Hou Mansion and add another layer of blockade to Yang Yuan's blockade. Be careful and beware of dogs jumping off the wall in a hurry. ”
"Embedded, you take a few people around the inside and outside of the Hou Mansion to see if anything unusual or unreasonable happens. ”
"Heshun, you go to support Lianhe, I feel that there is a high probability that something will go wrong with him. Being able to sneak into the inner courtyard, even if there is an internal response, its own force should not be underestimated. ”
"Yinluo, you go and guard the girl, the son has already had an accident, and the girl must not have any mistakes. ”
"Qinghe, you follow Yinluo, Lan Yang, you protect the master;"
Chi Xuanqi arranged them one by one.
Several people left as ordered.
……
Several nurses in the east wing room fell asleep because of the drug, and the green banana said that it was a relatively rare drug in the rivers and lakes, a top-level drug, as rare as the Wuluoxiang that Chi Xuanqi carried with him for self-defense, and his name was Drunken Dream Smoke;
The reason why it is said to be top is because the effect is good;
Wuluoxiang is urged by internal force, and everywhere people go, the more exquisite the internal force, the faster the coma, and the comatose person wakes up, and there is no sequelae after the comatose person wakes up;
The reason why it is rare is because the raw materials are rare and difficult to prepare;
Wuluoxiang needs glacier snow lotus as a medicine guide, while drunken dream smoke needs barbarian honeysuckle as a medicine guide; glacial snow lotus is rare, and barbarian silver flower is scarce;
Although Yinluo has deep internal strength, he doesn't dare to take risks, so he can only ask Xia Yu, the little maid next to him, to help take Sister Yue out, and then Yinluo takes Sister Yue into the main room.
Gently sat on the chair next to the bed, looking at Sister Yue'er who was sleeping in the fur cushion, probably because when she came to the main room just now, she felt uncomfortable, Sister Yue turned over several times after lying down, and the well-wrapped quilt was a little scattered, Yinluo gently tucked the corners of the quilt, ran the internal force, and a stream of heat diffused from the palm, Yinluo put her hand on the small quilt, Sister Yue'er sighed, felt very comfortable all over her body, and continued to sleep.
Innocent and careless child!, Yinluo unconsciously showed a hint of a smile;
Thinking of the drunken dream smoke, a trace of solemnity passed in his heart, how difficult it was when Wuluo fragrant green banana was concocted, Yinluo knew it clearly, the thief who sneaked in today actually used the drunken dream smoke, so can it be said that behind the thief there is a force that is not inferior to the Hou Mansion.
And there are moles to help, and even Yang Yuan's actions are problematic, what does this mean?
Yinluo was a little frightened.
Thinking of the master's smile, the steward Chi Xuanqi and the husband Shui Molou, my heart was full of confidence, the master once said: What is the purpose of hard cultivation for so many years?
Now that the enemy has appeared, it's good to try to defeat it, what do you want to do so much? Before you fight, you are afraid, how can you be worthy of your own sweat, the master's teachings, the master's cultivation and the husband's love;
When I think about it this way, my mind turns pure.
Because there are people who want to protect, there is nothing to fear!!
