Chapter 105: The Xiao Family's Mansion
After seeing Tang Miaoyin that day, Xiao Jingyu calmly took the battered Su Miao back to Su's house, and packed her bags casually and prepared to leave for Nanbin Mansion early tomorrow morning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
That night, Su Miao tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, and today's trip to Zhen's house really taught her a lesson. Originally, when the master and the master arrived a few days ago, she already felt very incredible about Tang Miaoyin's deep thoughts, but she didn't expect that the things she heard about the friends of the master and the mother back then were even more shocking at night! How can anyone in this world be so sinister and unbearable?
Maybe Su Miao's movement was too big, maybe Song Chen always felt uneasy about Su Miao's stunned expression after she came back and paid special attention, anyway, when Su Miao finally couldn't help but sit up and planned to go out to find a place to practice and vent, Song Chen knocked on Su Miao's door at the right time.
Seeing Song Chen, Su Miao felt like a person in the water grabbing driftwood, she held Song Chen with one hand and lifted a pot of plum blossom wine with the other: "Ah Chen, let's drink!" β
Song Chen didn't know what Su Miao and Shi Niang went through when they went to Zhen's Mansion, but he knew that following Su Miao at this time was the best way to appease him. Judging from what Tang Miaoyin is doing now, what they are exploring back then should not be a pleasant experience.
Although the master is under the protection of the master, she still retains a bit of innocence, but after so many years of experience, it is not difficult to accept the facts. But since she was a child, Miao Miao has either followed the master or dealt with shopkeepers everywhere, and what she has seen and heard is either love or goodness, how has she ever experienced any sinister human nature? The cruel truth confused her and made her difficult to accept, and the only thing Song Chen was glad for was that he was by her side at this time. While she personally witnesses the sinister nature of human nature, she can feel sincere love, so that she can continue to maintain her original intention and good thoughts, so as not to doubt her previous experiences and life. People have good and evil, so punish evil and promote good.
After all, Su Miao's "foundation" is good, and after drinking a meal, she looks like she is fine. Song Chen's bumpy and uncomfortable journey when he came to Haiguo, but his persistence in refusing to take medicine finally paid off, and when he returned to Dalan, he could finally act like a nobody at sea! The wind and waves were calm along the way, and after a pleasant ten days, the ship docked in Binhai City, and the group finally returned to the long-lost land of Dalan.
Song Chen's internal strength has been trained to the fourth layer, and he is about to break through, this critical moment requires meditation, and Lin Jin wants to take him back to Heavenly Sword Peak.
Xiao Jingyu plans to take Su Miao all the way to the mountains and rivers and return to the Xiao family's mansion.
Sanbao has to go back to Cui's house first.
Liufu had no relatives in Dalan, and planned to follow Song Chen and Su Miao, but it was inconvenient for him to follow in the two places at present, so Su Miao asked him to follow Chasing Feng and Chen Zhao back to Selangoran City first, and go to Lin Yi to settle down first.
Bringing back two boxes of national treasures and antidote prescriptions for fish poison, as well as more than a dozen boxes of dried seafood, all of which needed to be transported to the capital, Lin Jin flew pigeons to pass the book, and summoned Lin Shisan, the shopkeeper of Hengqing Hall, the closest to Binhai City, to come over, and asked him to escort things and follow Chaifeng and Chen Zhao to Selangora City.
Chen Zhao hadn't mentioned it again since he learned from Chasing Feng that the so-called immortal flower was a trap for the Zhen family, as if he had never come to ask Song Chen and Su Miao to "be loyal to the country......
Walking all the way to Lily of the Valley City, everyone began to separate. Sanbao returned to Cui's house, Lin Jin and Song Chen went east back to Jianlan City, while Xiao Jingyu and Su Miao turned to the southwest, and the rest continued to go north.
The Southwest Mansion is a big city, and the Xiao family is a big clan in the Southwest Province, and the whole clan lives in the Xiao Family Fort, which is located fifty miles outside the southwest city. Xiao Jingyu, as the sixteenth generation head of Xiaojiabao, has supported the entire Xiaojiabao after the accident of the previous head of the Xiao family, and has always been a great figure in the hearts of the clansmen. Since her accident, the Xiao family has no leader, so Lin Jin, who occasionally goes back to the Xiao family's mansion, is regarded as the head of the family, and has not chosen a new head of the family.
Although Xiao Jingyu hasn't returned to Xiaojiabao for forty years, as soon as she stepped into Xiaojiabao, someone immediately recognized her. After she came to her senses, Lin Jin had sent someone to Xiaojiabao to deliver a letter, and mentioned to the old housekeeper of the Xiao family's mansion that they would go back to Xiaojiabao after they finished the matter at hand. After receiving the letter, the housekeeper spread this exciting thing, and the whole Xiaojiabao was jubilant! The old man has passed away, and the children who were playing around in the castle have grown into middle-aged people, but when Xiao Jingyu's face remained unchanged in front of everyone, people who were mentally prepared immediately surrounded him: "The head of the family is back!" β
What about the agelessness of the face? The husband of the head of the family, Jun Lin, has been born for so many years, and in addition to his hair, hasn't he never aged yet? The people of their Xiao family are good at using medicine, and they are already aging slower than ordinary people.
The news of the head of the family coming back was spread by today's children, and the old housekeeper of the Xiao family's mansion held Xiao Jingyu's hand with tears in his eyes, crying like a child: "Miss, you are finally back!" β
Although every time Lin Jin came back, he said that the young lady just had an accident and could not come back, and she had not passed away as rumored by the outside world, but forty years have passed, and the long wait can most dissipate people's hopes, and he no longer dares to pray that he can see his young lady again in his lifetime, but he didn't expect it! The young lady actually came back, still with the same voice and smile as if she had just left yesterday.
After attending the street banquet held by the Xiao family because of her return, she and the steward elected by the Xiao family who was affirmed by Lin Jin met with them, and asked them to continue to maintain the status quo, and if there is anything important that cannot be decided, they will come to her again. After that, Xiao Jingyu took Su Miao to hunt for treasures in the Xiao family's mansion.
Xiaojiabao is located in a mountain col, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one exit, which is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. The house of the head of the Xiao family, is in the innermost part of the mountain col, built by the mountain, although it is a single transmission from the first generation of the head of the family, but the parents at that time were obviously very confident in their children and grandchildren when they built the house, the whole house is a veritable mansion, a total of six in, each of which has several yards. Most of the yards are deserted, and for those who are not familiar with the terrain, walking in those yards is like walking in a maze. When Xiao Jingyu was a child, she liked to go to every yard so that the housekeeper could find it easily.
In fact, the courtyards in the mansion were once inhabited, but since the absence of the master, all kinds of furnishings still maintain the original state at that time, for those who set foot for the first time, each courtyard will have a different kind of surprise, isn't it a treasure hunt.
Since she was taken around the entire mansion by Xiao Jingyu on the day she first arrived, Su Miao knew that this kind of layout was really worse than a maze for her. If he is trapped in the maze, Su Miao can also directly destroy the maze and break out. But if one of them is found in one of the many courtyards, even if it can come and go freely in the air, Su Miao is not sure that he can find it...... So when Xiao Jingyu asked Su Miao to choose a yard to live in, Su Miao didn't hesitate to choose one built directly against the mountain wall - there are only two of these yards, and it is much easier to find.
Xiao Jingyu praised Su Miao for her vision, this courtyard was quiet enough, it was used as a study by her father back then, and asked her subordinates to help Su Miao clean up the bedroom of the main house, Xiao Jingyu took Su Miao to open the door of the west chamber: "This is my father's study back then, but most of the books in it have been moved to Tianjian Peak...... The rest should be some ordinary medicine books, but they are all annotated by my father, and you can flip through them when you are bored, and you may find some interesting recipes. β
The study room is very large, part of it has gone deep into the mountain, and the bookshelf is directly cut and polished by the mountain stone, which is very special. As Xiao Jingyu said, most of the bookshelves in the study were empty, Su Miao walked inside, and took out a few books to read, sure enough, they were all ordinary medicine books, but there was also a handwritten "Complete Book of Materia Medica". Su Miao picked it up and flipped through it, and saw the record of Lan Lingcao, she looked at it while walking, and accidentally didn't notice that there was a wooden stool on the ground, so she tripped over it directly, and her body fell forward. Fortunately, Su Miao did a good job, even if she was very close to the bookshelf in front, she still reached out in time to support the bookshelf and unloaded most of her strength.
"Miaomiao, are you alright?" Xiao Jingyu casually moved the small stool to the side, while explaining, "The bookshelf in my father's study is a little high, when I was still young, and my martial arts were used again, he made some small wooden stools to make it easier for me to pick up books and readββ"
Xiao Jingyu walked closer, and heard Su Miao's soft "huh".
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jingyu thought that Su Miao had fallen somewhere, so she hurriedly came over to check, "Are you injured?" β
Su Miao shook her head, pushed with a little force on the hand holding the bookshelf, and turned back a little strangely: "Master, this bookshelf seems to be active?" β
"How is this possible!" Xiao Jingyu has been in and out of the study for more than 30 years, and this bookshelf is directly chiseled out of the mountain wall, how can it be active? "Isn't it that after using it for a long time, it has become a refinement?"
"Really. You push it, it really moves! Su Miao said seriously.
Xiao Jingyu didn't look like Su Miao was joking, so she walked over and pushed hardβshe didn't move!
"The direction is not right......" Su Miao pointed to the left, "Push in this direction." β
Xiao Jingyu pushed hard to the left, but still didn't move. Master Shizun felt that his majesty as a master was being greatly challenged, so he turned his face blank: "Miaomiao, you stinky girl now even dare to make a joke about Master?" β
"......" Su Miao thought about it innocently, and when she slapped her head, she forgot that this master's strength was not too great...... Su Miao stood still, held the bookshelf with her right hand, and pushed to the left, and the two people present heard a click-
The bookshelf really slowly moved to the left...... (To be continued.) )
