Chapter 17: A Twist of Fate
How subtle the ancients were, Tang Ying does not know. However, when she found out that Li Chunfeng seemed to be petrified, she had to quickly rein in the precipice and let go of him.
She had waited for him to cross-examine her so that she could continue to pretend to be innocent and replied "her mouth slipped".
But he seemed to be greatly stimulated, and his eyes were straight. Tang Ying was shocked, fanning and calling again, and finally waited for him to snort.
His mind went blank, trying to remember what had just happened, but he couldn't keep quiet. I had to stand up slowly and mutter, "Presumably...... Presumably because I changed my posture and couldn't adapt to it for a while...... Shadow does her morning class first, Uncle Rong...... Carefully...... Think about it......" he said, as he lifted his feet into the room and closed the door.
Standing against the wall for a while, the drum-like heartbeat in his chest finally calmed down. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said to himself: "Li Chunfeng, Li Chunfeng, you have lived most of your life, but the more you live, the more you go back." "It's not like I haven't kissed...... Just now, it should be kissing, right? He shook his head fiercely, and it was despicable to have such a misunderstanding of a little girl.
Looking at Tang Ying in the courtyard through the window lattice, I saw her start to stand on the stake as if nothing happened. The wind slipped past her, blowing the corners of her plain white dress and jet-black hair, which contrasted beautifully with her immobile form; The wind seemed to float to his ear with a gentle hum, "You are in the sky when I miss you, and you are in front of me when I miss you......"
It's a strange and beautiful piece of music, just as unique as she is. He unconsciously put his hand on the lattice, clinging to it as if he wanted to stare longer. But soon, he felt that something was wrong again, withdrew his hand, and straightened his robe. Finally, calmly walked out the door.
Time is like water, and in August of the second year of Yonghui, Wu Meiniang was finally taken back to the palace. Just because her identity is just the palace maid next to the queen, there is no interesting news in the streets and alleys.
After Tang Ying found out, he was excited in the mountains for a few days. She has been practicing with Li Chunfeng for more than a year, and her kung fu is limited by her body, and she has only made some progress.
But with the blessing of Bai Huo, she has made great progress in her cultivation of "Bai Zetu". The first half of "Bai Zetu" is a method spell to restrain various monsters, which can be memorized by rote; The second half is the art of immortality, and none of them have been able to break it.
As Tang Ying, who climbed all the way to the ivory tower of the university for exam-oriented education, it is not difficult to remember the first half of the committee. This surprised Li Chunfeng a lot. You must know that in ancient feudal society, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and the assessment standard is to be able to give birth and raise a family. The few talented women are not intellectually problematic, but they have no sense of learning at all.
Of course, for a modern person like her, who has long been instilled with equality between men and women, learning is naturally not a problem.
Li Chunfeng was entrusted by the villagers at the foot of the mountain to go down the mountain to get rid of the demons twice. Originally, girls should not attend this kind of occasion, but he deliberately brought her for the sake of the white fire of Tang Ying.
She hadn't yet practiced yin and yang eyes, and she didn't feel anything about exorcism, but he could see it clearly, and his target evil instantly ignited spontaneously from the moment she entered the door. Since then, he has paid more attention to teaching her the magic trick, and even faintly regards her as his inheritor in his heart.
The peach blossoms bloom and fall, and the snow goes and comes.
Another year passed in a blink of an eye, and in the third year of Yonghui, Tang Ying was nine years old, and his shoulders were already as high as Li Chunfeng's waist. Lately, she has been complaining less and less about chest pain. However, just in case, he still insisted on crossing the gas once a day, but the time of crossing became longer and longer. The two have been together for two years, and although they have never experienced life and death, their relationship has deepened day by day.
One day in late spring and early summer, after Li Chunfeng went to Chang'an to report on his work, he went to the Tang Mansion to visit the Tang couple. I saw Mrs. Tang hugging her one-year-old son and frolicking, and her doting appearance was the same as that of Tang Ying. When Mrs. saw him, she naturally inquired about Tang Ying's news, and without saying a word, the little ancestor in her arms began to cry, she suddenly forgot what she was going to ask, and hurriedly took her son to the backyard. After Lord Tang waited for her to leave, he suddenly spoke: "Brother Shi has worked hard for the past two years. ”
Li Chunfeng was slightly stunned after hearing this, and had a vague premonition, and replied casually: "Where." Tian'er is really well-behaved, and I didn't bother much. ”
Master Tang took a leisurely sip of tea and said casually: "Brother Li is a master who studies celestial phenomena, and his understanding of the fate of people is naturally much higher than that of his foolish brother. The foolish brother recently sighed that sometimes the sudden change of fate makes people overwhelmed. Li Chunfeng didn't know what he wanted to express, so he had to smile and keep silent.
Lord Tang suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Li's official rank is above me, have you ever heard of Wu Zhaoyi, who has been in the limelight in the palace recently?" Hearing this surname, Li Chunfeng's head felt like a needle had been pierced, and he tried his best to keep it natural, "Zhaoyi? Has it been canonized? ”
Master Tang had a flattering smile on his face, "I heard that I am already pregnant with the dragon seed, and it is not a matter of time before I canonize it." Li Chunfeng's lips, hidden behind his beard, gradually tightened. When she returned to the palace for only a year, she had already climbed to the second-grade Zhaoyi? This Wu Mei really can't be taken lightly.
He was thinking about it, but Lord Tang pulled him back to reality with a light cough, he raised his eyebrows, cheered up and listened again, only to hear Lord Tang say proudly: "A few days ago, a cronie of Zhaoyi came to the house and asked us to send Tian'er to the palace to accompany her to give birth!" ”
Li Chunfeng was originally sitting cross-legged on the seat cushion, but when he heard this, he stood up suddenly. Lord Tang's eyes flashed with the light of expectation, and I am afraid that what he thought of was not just paternity, but that he was favored by the emperor and received the harem...... For a humble man like him, this was an opportunity he never dreamed of. He said in a funny voice: "Our two families have intersected for generations, we have made a fortune, and naturally you ......"
Li Chunfeng didn't listen to anything later.
The first thing he thought about was that he couldn't let Tang Ying go to the deep palace like the tiger's den in Longtan, and the second thought was that Weishenme Wu Mei wanted to find Tang Ying? The meeting of Ganye Temple, which was originally denied by him, seemed suspicious at this time. Tang Ying's learning of the art of subduing demons is a matter after the Ganye Temple, and he can guarantee that they have not been in contact at all in the past two years, so Wu Mei's impression of Tang Ying only comes from a glimpse of the Ganye Temple?
He looked up at Lord Tang, who was a little carried away, and couldn't help but guess: Maybe it was a coincidence that Wu Mei was a mother, and happened to know that Lord Tang's family had a well-behaved daughter? It seems that Lord Tang received a lot of benefits, so he "sold" his daughter.
"Brother Li?" Tang Da woke up from his self-absorption, and was a little surprised when he saw Li Chunfeng's serious expression, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Hum! There are so many things that are not right! First of all, he wanted his son to ignore his daughter, and now he wants to rely on his daughter to get glory and wealth! Li Chunfeng looks down on him very much now, but after calming down a little, after all, he is not Tang Ying's parent, this ugly-looking Tang Da is ......
So, he laughed dryly twice and said, "Then, congratulations to the virtuous brother." ”
Lord Tang approached and took his hand and said, "Thanks to the care of my brother over the years, I also ask my brother to send the little girl back as soon as possible, and I want to teach her more etiquette before she enters the palace." ”
Li Chunfeng stared at this face that was somewhat similar to Tang Ying and asked, "When...... Entering the palace? ”
Lord Tang smiled even brighter, "Next month." ”
