Chapter 227: Love is in vain
Chapter 227
"No wonder Nie Yao is also surnamed Nie."
Deng Si'er did not immediately return the salute and renamed Nie Zaizhi as 'Uncle Zaizhi', but suddenly Nie Yao's appearance appeared in his mind, and he looked at Nie Zaizhi in a daze and said.
Mo Lidao was stunned when he saw this, Nie Zaizhi was also slightly stunned, and asked Deng Si'er with a smile:
"Oh? Does my nephew recognize my child? ”
Deng Si'er nodded and said:
"I know, at Lord Zuo's house. Uncle Zhishi, you are so gentle, I really can't figure out who Nie Yao's temperament can learn from. ”
"Deng Si'er." Seeing this, Mo Lidao couldn't help but glare at Deng Si'er, how could he say this about someone's daughter in front of someone's father?
Deng Si'er pursed her lips, lowered her head and muttered:
"Obviously, you haven't seen Nie Yao, she quarrels with me when she sees that she is fine, the key is that she is good at kung fu, and I can't beat her......"
Seeing this, Mo Lidao suddenly felt very faceless in front of Nie Zaizhi, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
Nie Zaizhi didn't care much about Deng Si'er's words, and still looked at Deng Si'er with a gentle smile and said:
"It's okay, Deng Si'er and Yao'er are still children, besides, what Deng Si'er said is right, Yao'er's child really made me spoiled."
"You! It's just that there is no one who has a good mouth! Seeing this, Mo Lidao pointed at Deng Si'er and scolded with a smile.
Deng Si'er shrugged, obviously not paying much attention to it.
Before Nie Zaizhi met, the way the master and apprentice got along couldn't help but feel quite novel.
Ordinary masters and disciples, all of them are disciples who have great respect for the master. Where would it be like Deng Si'er and Mo Lidao, it was like an old naughty boy with a naughty boy, but it was funny and there was a sense of closeness that ordinary masters and apprentices did not have.
Not sure why. Nie Zaizhi followed Mo Lidao's eyes, not only did he not see a trace of real blame, but he faintly felt a sense of 'dependence on each other'.
It is also because of this that Nie Zaizhi can't help but pay a little more attention to this disciple of Mo Lidao's personal and exclusive lineage.
"It's windy at the top of the mountain, let's go in first." Nie Zaizhi said with a smile.
Mo Lidao nodded and tied the horse to a tree outside the small courtyard. followed Nie Zaizhi into the house first.
Deng Si'er also tied his donkey to the tree as usual, and muttered dissatisfiedly:
"Really, there is a way to see the new and forget the old. This Mo Hei's face turned into seeing the old man and putting the new person aside, and sure enough, it was the steamed bun fragrance that had been steamed for a long time, hum! ”
After speaking, Deng Si'er was still angry and slapped the little donkey's buttocks. The mouth is not forgiving:
"And you stupid donkey that even your master kicks! No conscience! ”
The donkey was slapped by Deng Si'er lightly or severely. It seemed that he didn't dare to resist if he was a little weak-hearted, but he gently pouted his head and snorted.
"Humph! That's pretty much it! When Deng Si'er saw the appearance of the donkey, he snorted slightly with relief, and turned around and walked towards the room that Mo Lidao and Nie Zaizhi had entered.
To say that the dress of this Qingfeng Daoist made Deng Si'er feel a little surprised, then Deng Si'er pushed the door into the house and was simply surprised and unbelievable!
I saw that the room was not as simple as Deng Si'er thought, it was exquisite!
Although the ornaments and utensils in the house are small, the patterns are exquisite. It's not much different from the exquisite ornaments I saw in Zuo Idiot's house and Wu Jue's house.
It can be said that these objects in front of him are even more delicate and chic than the precious utensils that Deng Si'er has seen so far.
Nie Zaizhi saw Deng Si'er enter the house. There was a very surprised expression on his face, and he couldn't help but explain with a smile:
"Master Deng doesn't have to be so surprised, the furnishings here are just because my adopted daughter has been spoiled by my apprentice's mother since she was a child, that is, the eldest princess of Chunyang, and she has collected everything when she sees something strange and interesting, and I also have a headache."
When Deng Si'er heard this, he suddenly remembered that he had gone into Nie Yao's room once to look for her when he was in the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, and there were countless exquisite ornaments, so he couldn't help but nodded.
It's no wonder.
After Deng Si'er took a casual look in the room, he walked to the couch where Mo Lidao and Nie Zaizhi were and stood still, looking confused.
It turned out that in Nie Zaizhi's secluded residence, there were no tables, chairs and benches, except for a wooden bed, there was only a very low and low piece that was not even a coffee table...... Stump.
Next to the stump, there is a fire, the fire is not strong, and there is a pot of steaming water and tea-scented water.
"Master Deng and nephew don't have to be formal, come and sit, you and your master have been traveling all the way, drink hot tea first to relieve fatigue." Nie Zaizhi looked at Deng Si'er and pointed to an empty futon beside him with a smile and said.
Deng Si'er nodded, moved over and sat down under the gaze of the two.
After learning from Mo Lidao and Nie Zaizhi, after sitting cross-legged, Deng Si'er's face suddenly became happy.
It turned out that the bottom of this futon was padded, and it was not hard to sit on at all, and it was very comfortable.
Nie Zaizhi saw that no matter what Deng Si'er's expression was, all of them appeared on that immature face at the first time, and he couldn't help but think of his adopted daughter Nie Yao, who was almost like Deng Si'er when she was a child.
Come to think of it, it is not without reason that Deng Si'er can get along so well with his indifferent and ruthless apprentice.
Nie Zaizhi thought about it, and after lifting the delicate kettle from the stove and pouring hot tea for Deng Si'er and the others who were not leaving the road, he said:
"Deviant, I didn't expect that you and I haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years, and now that we meet again, even you have such an excellent disciple."
Excellent disciple?
Deng Si'er nodded with satisfaction, picked up the teacup in front of him, and dipped his tongue on the rim of the cup while blowing gently.
When Mo Lidao heard this, he glanced at Deng Si'er, and also picked up the teacup in front of him, held it in his hand and looked at Nie Zaizhi and said:
He ...... Just a dime boy, where do you see the word 'excellent'? ”
Before Nie could speak again, Deng Si'er took a step forward to put down the teacup and pouted as if Mo Lidao was leaving:
"It's not that you insist on taking me as an apprentice, so I reluctantly agreed, otherwise you will definitely have to bring your broken alchemy into the coffin."
"Hey! You kid ......" Mo Lidao just wanted to scold, but he thought that in front of Nie Zaizhi, it was not good to be like this, so he couldn't help but be a little sneered, looked at Nie Zaizhi with a light smile and said:
"Poor discipline...... Discipline is not strict......"
"It's okay, that's the true temperament." Nie Zaizhi also picked up his cup of tea and said with a smile.
Seeing this, Mo Lidao couldn't help but glared at Deng Si'er next to him fiercely as a warning.
Deng Si'er still shrugged, not obedient at all.
"By the way, when I went up the mountain, I heard you talk about this time, and there is another important thing, what is it?" At this time, Nie Zaizhi asked.
Deng Si'er and Mo Lidao's faces changed when they heard this, they glanced at each other, slowly put down the teacup in their hands, and no one spoke.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Nie Zaizhi couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, and asked suspiciously.
Mo Lidao sighed and said:
"Hold on again, left-handed...... Something went wrong. (To be continued.) )
