Chapter 126 Centering

Li Xiaonuan took Lan Chu and walked along the faintly visible forest path to the depths of the forest.

It's already late spring, the forest is full of spring, full of vitality everywhere, squirrels jump up and down happily on the trees, occasionally you can see a few small golden monkeys sweeping through the branches, countless birds with bright feathers singing gracefully, flying through the forest.

Li Xiaonuan was also infected by the full spring mood, and her heart jumped with joy, and Lan Chu pointed to the idle flowers and spring grass, talking and laughing, and slowly walked towards the courtyard of the master of idealism.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the two pushed the door in, Lan Chu turned into the gatehouse next to him and waited, Li Xiaonuan walked through a few courtyards and walked straight to the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard, the middle-aged monk greeted him with a smile, folded his hands and saluted, lifted the curtain of the main house, and let Li Xiaonuan enter the main house.

Master Idealism sat on the golden silk futon in front of the Buddha statue, knocking on the wooden fish in a slow rhythm, muttering the scriptures, Li Xiaonuan picked up his toes, walked a few steps, sat down lightly on the futon behind the master, and learned to sit cross-legged with the master, put his hands together, lowered his eyes, and listened to the master's long and leisurely chanting.

After half an hour, the master recited the scriptures, slowly stood up, turned to look at Li Xiaonuan, who was bent over and patting his calves in distress, smiled and waved his hand,

"Come in and have tea."

Li Xiaonuan patted her calf a few more times, feeling that the numbness on her leg was better, and then slowly walked to the window of the east chamber and sat sideways on the edge of the couch.

Master Idealism didn't care much about her, and watched the middle-aged monk put the tea set away, and divided the tea with soothing movements.

Li Xiaonuan tilted his head, watched intently as he took two silver spoons of tea powder from the tea can, gently poured it into the white jade cup that seemed to be transparent, picked up the small silver kettle on the red clay stove, and slowly poured water into the cup, while stirring the tea powder in the cup with a slender green jade spoon quickly or slowly.

Master Idealism looked at the cup with satisfaction, and gently pushed it in front of Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan admired the pictures in the cup with admiration on his face, and asked with a smile:

"The master went to admire the moon last night?"

Master Idealism nodded with a smile, divided another cup of tea, took it and slowly tasted two sips, raised his hand to signal Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan looked at the tea leaves in the cup that gradually changed and precipitated, and said with a smile:

"Such a good-looking tea, where can I bear to drink it, I'd better wait for this painting to settle down before drinking it."

Master Idealism looked at Li Xiaonuan, shook his head with a smile, and said gently:

"Let's have tea with me."

Li Xiaonuan shook his head firmly,

"I still like to drink tea, and good tea has to be ground like this, it's really hard to figure out"

Master Idealism put down the cup in his hand and stared at Li Xiaonuan for a long time before he said slowly:

"Nowadays, the famous families of the Wang family in the capital are all popular in this art of tea, and you will always have to wait for your in-laws and husbands in the future, and preside over the feed, which is also a skill that the girl's family wants to learn."

Li Xiaonuan looked up at Master Idealism, thought about it, shook his head, and said with a smile:

"I know that the master is for my good, but I don't want to marry into those famous Wang clans, Zhumen embroidery households, even if I want to marry, I can't reach it, besides, I can't learn, I have watched so many times, I don't understand, the master is so stirring around, how can I stir up the words and paintings, it's amazing"

Master Idealism stared at Li Xiaonuan for a long time, raised his eyebrows and laughed, picked up the cup and drank all the tea, got up and said:

"Walk with me to the back garden."

Li Xiaonuan agreed, jumped out of the accommodation, stayed with Master Idealism, and walked to the garden behind.

Cheng Ke and Zhou Jingran stayed outside the woods, from morning to noon, and did not see Li Xiaonuan's shadow, Cheng Ke stretched his neck anxiously and looked around, gradually became impatient, turned his head and commanded Luo Chuan,

"Go to the courtyard and see if anyone has returned."

Luo Chuan stubbornly agreed, and swept towards the courtyard where Li Xiaonuan lived, in broad daylight, breaking into the door, alas

Not long after, Luo Chuan came back to report:

"Go back to the two masters, I didn't go back."

Cheng Ke wrinkled his brows, and sent people to the Gospel Temple and nearby to look carefully, but he didn't see anyone, and Zhou Jingran was face to face, confused for a while, Zhou Jingran frowned, and gently tapped his palm with a fan, and couldn't figure out a clue,

"Did you really go to see the master?"

Cheng Ke asked hesitantly, Zhou Jingran spread his hands and said:

"How did I know, didn't the empty show just say that the master went to Yunyou again."

"That's because the master doesn't want to see you"

Cheng Ke said angrily, Zhou Jingran stood up and turned around twice, looked at Cheng Ke and said:

"It's noon, let's go back to eat first, let people guard here, and report any movement quickly."

Cheng Ke shook his head,

"You go back, I'm not hungry, I can't eat, besides, wait for someone to report and then rush over, people have already entered the yard"

Zhou Jingran couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to persuade Cheng Ke again, but seeing that his face was full of stubbornness, there was no room for negotiation, so he had to sigh and say:

"Okay, I'll stay here with you."

As he spoke, he turned around and commanded Qingping,

"Go, let people bring the food over, and I will enjoy the scenery and eat here today."

Qingping agreed, turned around and went to order food.

After the two of them ate, Cheng Ke became more and more impatient, and every quarter of an hour and a half, he asked Luo Chuan to go to the courtyard where Li Xiaonuan lived to see if he had come back.

It wasn't until near the end that I saw Li Xiaonuan walking out of the depths of the forest with Lan Chu from a distance.

Zhou Jingran hurriedly pulled Cheng Keyin behind the tree, watched the two walk slowly, entered from the corner gate of the courtyard, and came out from behind the tree.

"I really went to see the master, when did she and the master meet?"

Zhou Jingran looked at Cheng Ke with a face of disbelief and asked, Cheng Ke spread his hands, and looked at Zhou Jingran with the same blankness, Zhou Jingran gently tapped his forehead with a fan, paced back and forth, suddenly paused, looked at Cheng Ke and said:

"Go and find Kong Xiu, he must know to ask him"

Cheng Ke nodded again and again, and the two hurriedly walked to the abbot's room behind the Gospel Temple.

In April, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and Princess Runan's body is gradually getting better.

Early in the morning, Princess Runan packed up her belongings, got in the car and went to the palace to see Concubine Cheng.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I handed over the sign, and after a while, the little eunuch in Cheng Guifei's palace trotted out all the way and led Princess Runan to Yuncui Palace.

Princess Runan saw the salute, sat on the chair at the bottom, and as soon as she said a few words, tears welled up,

“…… Niangniang, look at it, how can this be good? I can't see anyone again and again, and it stands to reason that this marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. But this kid is different from others, this stubborn character, the prince and I can't turn him around. ”

Princess Runan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, Concubine Cheng frowned slightly, looked at Princess Runan and said suspiciously:

"When I talked about kissing the Yao family a few years ago, I wasn't okay, why did I suddenly do this? Is Ke'er still thinking about the Yao girl? If this is the case, then ask someone to go to the Yao family again, and this family business is decided, although the Yao family girl is more ordinary, she can get by, and you don't have to be too picky. ”

"Niangniang doesn't know that the Yao family's family business is also a family affair that he has to retreat because he has to retreat."

Cheng Guifei was surprised, frowned, thought for a long time, and didn't come up with a figure, Princess Runan looked at Cheng Guifei with teary eyes, and then said:

"I came here to beg Niangniang, ask Niangniang to pick a family, and ask the emperor to give him the will to marry, so that he can become a family as soon as possible and have an heir."

Cheng Guifei thought about it carefully, looked at Princess Runan and said:

"Xiao Ke's stubborn temper is only afraid of ...... It's easy to ask the emperor to make a decree, but if he twists his tendons, even if you force him to become a relative, can you still press him to round the house? Don't worry, I'll think about it. ”

Cheng Guifei pondered for a moment before saying with a smile:

"Or, during the Dragon Boat Festival, let him come over to help me greet the guests, and I will also persuade him, among the many ladies, he can always pick a favorite girl to come out, no matter who he picks a girl, you just have to agree, don't worry about it."

Princess Runan breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Cheng Guifei with open eyebrows, only to feel that a stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Seeing off Princess Runan, Concubine Cheng Guifei was crooked on the couch, thought for a long time, and sent someone to invite King Jing to come in and speak.

King Jing accompanied Cheng Guifei to talk for most of the day, went out of the palace gate with a wrinkled brow, returned to King Jing's mansion, got off the car at the gate, thought all the way and slowly shook into the inner study, biting his ears with Cheng Ke, and discussed for most of the day.

That night, the Qingjian Courtyard of the Runan Royal Mansion was in chaos.

Cheng Ke returned to Qingjian Courtyard drunk and smoky, Lirui hurriedly took a few girls in, and a girl was about to come forward to wait for him to go to the big clothes outside, but he kicked out, Lirui was trembling and stunned for a while.

Cheng Ke turned his head to look at the girls in the room, suddenly shouted and screamed, like crazy, kicked the girls who were waiting in the house and kicked them out, and looked for and kicked out all over the yard to catch up with the girls who were waiting for him.

"Get out of the pile of rotten wood, get out and get out of the house and get far away"

While chasing the little girl, while screaming the names of the little girls such as Qianyue, Yuanshan and Nanhai, Lirui retreated to the gate of the courtyard with people, and hurriedly sent the little girl to call the little girl in the outer courtyard to come in first and wait, and quickly asked people to go to the prince and princess, and he took people to guard the gate of the courtyard, looked at the courtyard, and did not dare to leave his eyes for a moment.

The prince and the princess had already rested, and after listening to the report, they hurriedly put on their clothes, and they couldn't wait for the sedan chair, so they just rushed all the way over.
