July, at the height of summer. The sky was blue with a fireball like a fireball, and the clouds seemed to have been burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace.

Ma Chengteng was sweating all over his head, if it weren't for Yueyao's strong request, he really didn't want to suffer this crime! On this day, people can be roasted: "Let's rest!" The group took a dip under the big tree.

Yueyao sat in the carriage, and it was slightly better to put ice cubes on the carriage. Yueyao asked Drizzle to take the chilled watermelon out for Ma Chengteng to eat.

Ma Chengteng ate two pieces of watermelon by himself, and the rest were distributed to his personal entourage. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the wind on the mountain was refreshing, as if it could blow away the restlessness on the body.

When they had rested enough, they began to walk again. It was already close to noon when I arrived at Zhaohua Temple, and there were not as many people in Zhaohua Temple at this time as before.

After Yue Yao worshipped the Bodhisattva, she shook the lot, and when she saw that her heart was half cold. If you keep up with the sign, you can feel more comfortable.

Ma Chengteng heard the decrypted monk say that this was a sign, a bad omen, and his face was not good-looking at the moment, this sign was for him, and he said that the bad omen did not mean that he was not good.

Yue Yao thought for a while and then looked for the abbot master, "Abbot, I want to ask to see Master Xuantian, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The abbot is not generally familiar with Yueyao, and he also likes Yueyao with Buddha nature. It's also very accommodating," I told people to report. ”

Master Xuantian asked Xiao Shami to invite her in, and Ma Chengteng followed behind. It's just that when he arrived outside the Zen courtyard, Ma Chengteng was stopped outside, and only Yueyao was allowed to go in alone.

Yue Yao and Master Xuantian are very familiar people, and it is precisely because of their familiarity that as soon as Yue Yao arrived at the Zen Academy, she said what she was worried about, "Master, I am really uneasy to have this nightmare suddenly. Today, I drew a lot of signs, and asked the master to give me guidance. ”

Master Xuantian glanced at Yue Yao, Yue Yao had seen her several times, she had been looking for Buddhism before, but this time it was rare to ask for something to come to the door. Master Xuantian bowed his head, and his voice was as loud as a bell, "Please come in!" ”

Ma Chengteng didn't expect to be able to get the light of his niece and see Master Xuantian. Ma Chengteng saluted very respectfully, "Master is fine." ”

Master Xuantian stared at Ma Chengteng, nodded slightly at Yue Yao, and said, "The blackening of the Lord Yin Hall of Ma Shi is a great omen. It is difficult for you to have a filial heart, and your dreams should be a warning for you. "Master Xuantian generally doesn't give people fate, nor does he give people fortune-telling.

Ma Chengteng's face turned gray all of a sudden. If he still had a trace of luck in Yueyao's words, then Master Xuantian's words would crush the last hope.

Yue Yao hurriedly asked, "Master, how can you resolve my uncle's calamity?" ”

Master Xuantian's face was softened, "With your warning, in fact, I have already gained life, as long as Master Ma Shi does not travel far in March, this catastrophe can be passed safely." "Master Xuantian, this is the method of cracking it.

Yueyao was shocked in her heart, her uncle was seriously ill and died, what does this have to do with the long journey. Yueyao was scribbled. However, with the master's words, Yueyao felt a little more at ease, but she didn't let her uncle travel far away, and everything else was easy to say.

Ma Chengteng took this advice to heart, and when he went on a business trip the next day, he heard Shangguan say that he would let him go to Hengyang, Ma Chengteng was in a cold sweat, and yesterday he also said that the murderer could not travel far, and today he had an errand to go far away.

This errand is a fat difference, but there is a Xuantian master who said that he can't travel far, not to mention that it's just a fat difference, even if he is promoted to a higher level, Ma Chengteng is unwilling. Of course, these words are not used as a reason to shirk the errand, Ma Chengteng only said that he has been unwell recently, dizzy from time to time, unable to travel long distances, and said that he was preparing to take a two-day sick leave to rest. Shangguan looked at him with a pale face, but he also believed it, and assigned someone else.

Yueyao went to Duanwang's Mansion, last time she went to see Princess Duan, this time she went to see Duanwang, and she felt different.

Yueyao originally thought that King Duan would see her in the backyard, but she didn't expect to be led directly to the front yard by the little maid and into King Duan's study.

Yue Yao saluted respectfully, "Lord Wanfu Jin'an." ”

King Duan is wearing a python robe today, with a jade belt around his waist and a purple and gold crown of eight treasures. The appearance of the lord of Wanhe is six points similar to that of King Duan.

Duan Wang also glanced at Yue Yao casually, and spread out a painting he bought on the table with a smile, "Come and take a look, what do you think of this painting?" ”

Yue Yao saw her own painting at a glance. Yueyao was a little embarrassed, she didn't know the news of the day, it was all told to her afterwards by her husband. Yue Yao admitted calmly at the moment, "The prince loves him, but in fact, there are still many flaws in this painting. ”

Seeing that Yueyao admitted his identity, King Duan asked with a smile: "It stands to reason that winning this second is enough for you to become famous, why don't you come out that day and hide behind?" ”

Yueyao was innocent about this, "Actually, I only found out about this matter after the fact. My uncle also wanted me to participate in the painting competition that day, but I thought that my teacher said that I still needed to hone my skills a year ago, so I didn't participate, and I didn't expect my teacher to take my paintings to the competition. ”

King Duan pursed his lips and smiled, "Who is your teacher?" "Duanwang really doesn't know who Yueyao's teacher is, and I haven't heard that any master of the painting world in the capital has accepted apprentices. If anyone accepted such a gifted apprentice, they would have shouted a long time ago, and there would be no silence.

Yue Yao's face was a little red, "It's Mr. Yushan, in fact, Mr. Yushan is unwilling to accept me as an apprentice, but he has taught me a lot, and I already regard him as a teacher in my heart." ”

King Duan smiled, "It turned out to be him, no wonder." ”

Duan Wang actually still had a trace of doubt in his heart, Yue Yao was only twelve years old and could paint such a good painting, and her future was limitless, "You don't plan to announce the world, in fact, you are a mountain and wild monk?" Duan Wang felt that Yue Yao was going to such an alias was very misleading, and he didn't know that he thought he was an old man in his seventies and eighties, but he didn't expect that he was still a child who was not in time. If it weren't for Yueyao's admit, King Duan wouldn't have been able to believe it in his heart.

Yueyao shook her head and said: "The teacher said that I am too young, and my reputation is too good for me, and I don't want too many people to know, I just want to paint quietly, I don't like to be sought after, and I don't want to be disturbed." ”

King Duan nodded slightly, but he was a pure person, "Since you don't want to, I won't leak this matter, but you have to promise me a request." ”

Yue Yao said respectfully: "Lord Wang, please command." ”

King Duan frowned slightly, King Duan felt that Yue Yao was missing the arrogance of a scholar, which was very undeserved, "The most important thing for a scholar is integrity, which must not be forgotten." "The so-called integrity is actually arrogance, Yueyao is not without arrogance, but his arrogance has all been restrained.

Yueyao was inexplicable, but still responded: "Well, I know." ”

Duan Wang thought for a while and didn't say anything more, he could be unrestrained, but Yueyao couldn't. Duan Wang said: "Let someone tell you when you want to do it." ”

When Yueyao left, Duanwang also sent two pieces of ink to Yueyao. Yueyao was reluctant to ask for a gift, but she was reluctant to refuse when she saw that it was two pieces of ink.

King Duan looked at Yueyao's look of wanting but not wanting it, and couldn't help laughing, "This king gives it to you, and you take it!" "This looks like a great painter, just a child.

Yue Yao took it.

Yueyao felt that Duanwang was a little strange, so she specially sent an invitation to come, but she said that she had something to do in the future, and then sent two pieces of ink.

Xiang Wei said with a smile: "King Duan called you this time, mainly to see you, King Duan loves talent, if you can enter King Duan's eyes, you will also have security in the future." "Yueyao's biggest problem is that there is no security, and the clan is an unstable factor.

As soon as Yueyao returned to the door of Ma's house, she was led by the little maid to see Ma Chengteng. Yue Yao was startled, "What? Going to Hengyang? "It's too coincidental, yesterday Master Xuantian said that it was not advisable to travel far, and today there is an errand to go far away.

Ma Chengteng still has palpitations, and when he saw Yueyao's expression, he smiled, "I excused myself because I was unwell, and I took three days off, and I will rest at home for the past few days." ”

Xiang Wei heard Hengyang and thought thoughtfully.

Ma Chengteng asked about the dream that Yue Yao had, he wanted to know every detail, so that his heart was also steady.

Yueyao didn't really dream, it was just a random reason made up, so she said vaguely: "I don't remember, I only dreamed that my uncle was woken up when he had it." ”

When she came out, Yueyao asked Xiang Wei, "Is there anything wrong with Hengyang?" ”

Xiang Wei shook her head and said, "It's nothing." ”

In the evening, Lu Ying and Ma Linlin came over. Since the two of them studied with Mr. and Mama last year, they have been very busy and don't see anyone on weekdays.

As soon as Ma Linlin came in, she looked at Yue Yao, and saw that Yue Yao was wearing a blue and blue gold silk, and she didn't wear any jewelry on her body, only a peach wood hairpin was fixed between her buns. Ma Linlin said with a displeased face: "Why don't you even have a decent piece of jewelry?" If not, tell the second sister-in-law and ask him to give you a few new jewelry, so that the name of the Ma family will not be weakened when you go out. ”

Yueyao felt a little weird in his heart, but he knew that Ma Linlin had good intentions, so naturally he wouldn't say anything that ruined the fun. No matter what Ma Linlin's reason is, he will not refuse to release his kindness, "Cousin, I dress more casually in my own house, and we are all family, so I haven't freshened up." ”

Ma Linlin listened to Yueyao's words and the family was very happy, "Well, that's good." "This year, Ma Linlin began to be rectified by Mr. and Raising Mama is tragic enough, and after a long time, she has learned a little, and Mama has been entrusted by Zhuang Ruolan, and she has spent a lot of effort to correct Ma Linlin's character, not to ask him to become a perfect lady, at least to take it out without shame.

In more than a year, it is impossible for Ma Linlin to be reborn, but now it is okay. According to Zhuang Ruolan's meaning, Ma Linlin is similar to what she is now, but inspired by Ma Peng's help to Ma Yue, he finally made it clear to raise his grandmother and let him teach for another year, and he must change all the bad temperaments that Ma Linlin learned from Cheng.

Yue Yao smiled: "Cousin sit." Seeing Lu Ying standing aside, he also smiled and said, "Cousin Ying, why don't you sit." ”
