Chapter 7: In the City
Yuancheng was very curious about Chen Lan's past, but he never asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the past twelve years, Yuancheng has grown from a thirteen-year-old reckless boy to a twenty-five-year-old reckless youth. In the morning, he went to recite the scriptures, did his homework, and the sound of the wind poured into his ears as he read it. He knew that it was Chen Lan walking through the forest.
When going down the mountain, Ensei was noisy at first, but then quiet. He followed behind Chen Lan and watched him walk steadily step by step. Yuan Cheng finally spoke, he said:
"Chen Lan, I heard Master say that you have someone you really want to meet."
The person in front of him snorted.
"So, what is the relationship between that person and you?"
Chen Lan was stopped by this question. Relationship? He really didn't think about the relationship between him and Kuju, but he just felt that since they had been together before, they should always be together in the future. The Dust Mage had asked him this question as well, and he seemed to have answered it at the time.
When the Empty Dust Mage heard this, he closed his eyes and said, "You're still just a snake demon. ”
"I would love to be with that guy. That's probably the relationship. Chen Lan said.
The answer was vague, but Chen Lan ignored him and didn't continue to muffle.
Encheng and he quickly arrived in the city. After they had walked for a while, they heard the sound of firecrackers.
Chen Lan pulled him to the side of the street and said that someone was getting married, and he, a monk, should not go to see it.
Yuancheng was angry: "Why can't the monk see it?" The bridegroom is not me. We happened to be hungry too, begging for a bowl of food! ”
With that, Yuancheng broke free from him and left first. Chen Lan couldn't cry or laugh in the back, and hurriedly caught up: "Hey, Yuancheng, you wait for me!" ”
There was a table in the doorway, and behind it sat the person in charge of receiving the gift. The groom of this family is from another place, in his forties, and decided to move here last year because he was in love with the bride, so he does not have many guests. When Yuancheng went to fast, the person receiving the congratulatory gift was very happy, saying that the groom had a good heart, and he was thinking about burning incense and worshiping the Buddha in a few days to seek a successful marriage.
"Groom, there's a little master here!"
The bridegroom was about to go outside and wait for someone else to bring the bride back, and was walking out the door. As soon as he heard this, he walked fast and came out to talk to Yuancheng. They stood at the door, one dressed in red, the other in plain monk's robes, very conspicuous.
Turning the corner, Chen Lan, who finally followed, stopped.
And he saw the bridegroom from afar. After seeing his face clearly, Chen Lan's face, which originally had a relaxed expression, froze.
"Master, when are you going to ask that nurse to come over?"
"Master, there's an old man at home, and he won't leave!"
"If you have to go, I'll guard this mansion until you come back."
A sentence echoed in my head, loud enough to drown out the deafening sound of firecrackers. The moment Chen Lan looked at this side, he hurriedly turned sideways and hid behind the vegetable stall.
"Little Master, do you have a companion? Why didn't you see it? Zhou Huan looked this way.
"He said he was a monk and couldn't come." Yuan Cheng smiled brightly.
"Here comes the bride! Here comes the bride! The music sounded.
Zhou Huan hurried to pick up the bride, and Yuan Cheng immediately gave way and went to eat vegetarian food inside.
The newlyweds and guests went in, and the people who were recording the congratulatory gifts outside began to gather pen and paper and prepare to go in. At this moment, a shadow was draped over the red paper.
"Yo, who are you?"
"An old friend of the groom." The man said flatly.
"Oh, okay, what do you want to give?"
"I'll seal a red envelope." After that, the man really took out a big red envelope. In addition to this, he asked for a brush, on which he wrote:
"Born early."
The tip of the pen pressed against the red paper, and the undried ink shimmered. It is customary for those who receive congratulatory gifts to read: "Give birth to a noble son early." ”
Then he reacted: "Noble girl? Eh, I said you, you're the enemy! How can anyone wish others to have daughters, you are cursing others! ”
But the man ignored him and turned away. His slender figure gradually walked to the end of the street, as if he were about to reach the end of the world.
After a while, the toasting groom came out. The person who received the congratulatory gift complained that someone had written him "a noble daughter born early".
Zhou Huan took the red envelope, looked at the words on it, and his heart seemed to have been slammed.
"Don't be angry!" He hurriedly said.
But Zhou Huan only suddenly ran a few steps forward. He was dressed in a wedding dress, and everyone else was looking at him. And he stood there, overwhelmed.
What does he run? Who are you looking for? Where to look?
But, that man is still alive, right? He's still alive......
Zhou Huan's tears that were about to fall out were held back again. He laughed, smiling reassuringly.
When Yuancheng found Chen Lan, Chen Lan had already bought things.
"Coming?" He raised his eyebrows, a look of exhaustion.
"You're mad at me?" Yuancheng was a little afraid of him like this, "I brought you steamed buns, look, steamed buns!" ”
"Alright, let's go back."
"Oh, good."
After walking for a while, the two were blocked by a child who fell to the ground.
"Good boy, I'll let you hide. The young master taught you a lesson, and you dared to hide! ”
The other foot followed closely and stepped on his head with unerring precision. Yuan Cheng looked up along this foot and saw a familiar face.
That was the scholar of the eldest young master of the Yuan family.
The children of the earth were wailing.
The scholar had probably forgotten what Yuan looked like, but Yuan Cheng still remembered him. Chen Lan sensed that something was wrong with the people around her, and quietly pulled down his sleeve:
"Master said, tell you not to get into trouble!"
Rounded into a line of motion.
A quarter of an hour later, the child on the ground got up and stumbled away, and another boy fell to the ground, crying out in wailing.
At the same time, there was also a paper crane hovering in the air and then flying away.
The two went back a little late. Master Kongchen asked Chen Lan a few words, and after asking, let everyone eat without saying anything more.
As usual, Yuan Cheng returned late, and the master had to let him copy the Buddhist scriptures. After returning from delivering things that day, Yuancheng copied it all night!
Yuan Cheng held the chopsticks and didn't get the rice in his mouth for half a day. He looked at Chen Lan opposite, and Chen Lan also behaved like this. They were beating drums in their hearts.
After all the monks had eaten the fast, Kongchen suddenly said:
"Don't go, stay."
Then he said sternly: "Yuancheng, come to me and kneel!" ”
Yuan Cheng had never seen his master look so terrifying, and that made Chen Lan, who had always been calm, change his expression slightly.
"Master......"
"Chen Lan, don't speak, I'll punish you later." After the empty dust mage scolded Chen Lan, he looked at Yuan Cheng: "Come here!" ”
Yuan Cheng walked over tremblingly and knelt down according to his words.
"Tomorrow, you will be vulgar. Go back to Yuan's house! ”
