Chapter 39 Appointments
After being brought back by Lin Jinghe from the front of the Moon Pavilion, Lin Qing'an lived in the Lin family pharmacy for a few days. During this period, Lin Qing accidentally asked about Hua Rongying's whereabouts, but was told that Hua Rongying had returned to Muhe Town.
Lin Qing was a little reluctant to Hua Langying's departure, but he was not particularly concerned. In the end, she and Hua Rongying are very different in terms of identity, age and appearance, if it weren't for the fact that she had suffered with Hua Rongying, and Hua Rongying's temperament was very likable, presumably the relationship between her and Hua Rongying would not be much better than that of strangers.
The days passed like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the Canglan Sect held its appointment ceremony.
On this day, Lin Qing dressed up for the first time at the request of Lin Jinghe, and was served by the maid of the Lin family, wearing a pleated skirt of lake green flowers and eight groups of satin, combing a more solemn auspicious cloud bun, and wearing a pair of emerald jade hostas.
"Miss, this peach wood hairpin is really not suitable for your hair bun, so don't wear it today." Seeing that Lin Qing was very careful, he inserted a peach wood hairpin into his hair, and persuaded the maid who was grooming Lin Qing softly.
Lin Qingxiao shook his head and said, "This hairpin is very important to me. ”
The maid nodded and replied yes, and continued to groom Lin Qing with a puzzled expression.
Dressing up at her daughter's house is always time-consuming and laborious, so Lin Qing is always lazy to make up, but she didn't expect that this time she just used a little thin Dai to attract Lin Jinghe's eyes.
Lin Jinghe coughed a few times to cover up his gaffe, and his tone was slightly unnatural: "It's not too early, we must leave immediately." ”
In Lin Qing's heart, Lin Jinghe has always looked like a young man, and seeing him look embarrassed made Lin Qing feel surprised and happy, and he couldn't help laughing.
The carriage arrived at its destination when Lin Qing kept covering his mouth and chuckling and Lin Jinghe kept his face strained for a moment.
Previously, because Qiao Xinzhi colluded with the Imperial Court to enter the Shuntian Tower, the Shuntian Tower was tossed and could no longer serve as the headquarters of the Canglan Sect. Originally, there was also an orchid flower valley for alternatives, but for some reason it was vetoed by Ning Canglan.
As soon as Lin Qing stepped out of the carriage, he was shocked by the scene in front of him: this was a huge valley, not only was it dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, but it was impossible to tell that this was the headquarters of the Canglan Sect, the sect of the dignified cult.
"Jinghe, this ......" Lin Qingzhi didn't know where to start for a while.
"The sect leader must have his intention in placing the headquarters here." Lin Jinghe walked straight towards the valley, he saw the problem more deeply than Lin Qing, naturally it was impossible to just notice how much the appearance of the valley in front of him was beyond the table.
Lin Qing nodded in agreement.
"Can you think more in your head?" Lin Jinghe glanced at Lin Qing with hatred of iron and steel, not to mention how bad his tone was.
Since he ran out of the Lin family's pharmacy without saying hello that day, and was finally caught by Lin Jinghe in the Yueyou Pavilion, Lin Qing has always felt guilty about Lin Jinghe, and he is also a small bow in front of him. Hearing Lin Jinghe reprimanding himself, Lin Qing was not only not annoyed, but said with a smile on his face: "Okay, good, the little one will follow the instructions of Bishop Lin Hall." ”
Lin Jinghe felt angry and funny, this girl has always liked to pose in front of her as an old and dignified sister, but today it is rare to sell a good one.
There is only one entrance to the valley, perhaps because the ceremony has begun, this valley mouth is not as lively as Lin Qing imagined, only two men dressed as attendants are guarding the valley mouth. It is worth noting that although the appearance of these two people is plain, their eyes are as sharp as knives, which makes people feel chills when they look at them.
"Two big brothers, we are ......" Lin Qing intuitively felt that the identities of the two men standing at the mouth of the valley were not simple, so his attitude was extremely respectful.
The two men directly ignored Lin Qing, and Lin Jinghe curts, and said, "Hall Master Lin." ”
Lin Qing rolled his eyes in his heart, could it be that this is the legendary dog's eyes looking down on people? Originally, he was still looking forward to Lin Jinghe breathing a sigh of relief for himself, but who knew that he actually stepped in by himself.
"What a careful-eyed child!" Lin Qing sighed, if he had changed his weekdays, Lin Jinghe would not have let himself be wronged, but now he was ......
Trying his best to restrain his chaotic thoughts, Lin Qing raised his legs and entered the valley.
At this time, it was close to noon, the blazing sun hung high in the sky like a fireball, Lin Qing had been sitting in the carriage on the way over and was not yet hot, after getting out of the carriage, she only basked in the sun for a short time, and a thin layer of sweat was already on her face. As soon as she stepped into the valley with her front feet, a cool air came to her face.
Lin Qing was surprised in his heart, the internal cold and external heat were obviously unreasonable, what was the reason for this?
Walking through a narrow stone corridor with many twists and turns, Lin Qing finally saw Ning Canglan and the others.
"Recently, there has been turmoil in the sect, the rats are rampant, Qiao Xinzhi and the left envoy and others colluded with the imperial court and betrayed our sect, this kind of pickled behavior is really despicable! Fortunately, Sect Leader Ning Canglan understood the truth and turned the tide with thunderous means, which saved our sect from the disaster of extermination......"
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Ouyang Feng, who was standing at the bottom of Ning Canglan, holding a silk book in his hand and talking endlessly. And the sect leader Ning Canglan in his mouth was leaning lazily on the stone chair at the moment, closing his eyes and not knowing whether he was listening to him.
Catching a glimpse of Ning Canglan's appearance out of the corner of his eye, Ouyang Feng secretly wondered if the sect leader should be asleep, right? Rao is temperament is indifferent, and he can't help but show embarrassment at this time, today's important people in the Great Ceremony Sect will be present, and the attitude of the sect leader is so lazy, I am afraid that it will cause criticism.
But soon Ouyang Feng found that he was thinking too much, and as soon as his words landed, Ning Canglan opened his eyes at the same time.
Ning Canglan stood up, raised his eyes and glanced at everyone in the hall, the corners of his lips hooked up with a smile that he didn't know whether it was joy or playfulness. With just one glance, Lin Qing was already chilled by Ning Canglan's sharp gaze.
"I think you have already heard about the apostasy of the Left Protector and Qiao Xin, and as the head of the First Sect, I feel extremely sad. However, the position of the left guardian envoy and the hall master of Mu Yan Hall could not be taken over by no one, and after many considerations, Ouyang Feng was ordered to take over the position of the left guard envoy, and the position of the hall master of Mu Yan Hall was by——" Ning Canglan was stunned, and suddenly stopped speaking.
Everyone in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, whispering about who will be the head of the Muyan Hall, but no one can figure out Ning Canglan's thoughts, and no one can be sure whose name will be pronounced in Ning Canglan's mouth in the next moment.
Lin Qing squeezed to Lin Jinghe's side with great effort, and asked in a low voice, "Who do you think it will be?" ”
The reason why Lin Jinghe was asked was not only because Lin Jinghe was the master of Jinyantang, but also because he had a very close personal relationship with Ning Canglan. Lin Qing thought that even if Ning Canglan didn't personally tell Lin Jinghe who would succeed him as the hall master of Muyan Hall, with Lin Jinghe's understanding of Ning Canglan, he should have guessed who Ning Canglan wanted to hand over the position of hall master.
Lin Jinghe turned his head and glanced at Lin Qing deeply, his expression was extremely strange.
"Lin Qing." The white-haired man smiled gently, his gaze penetrated through the people in the hall, and fell steadily on Lin Qing's body.
"Huh?" Before Lin Qing could react to what was happening, he was stunned by a sudden burst of applause and cheers.
"Congratulations to the hall master, congratulations to the hall master!" I don't know who started it, and the empty hall suddenly became full of people.
"The position of the deputy head of the hall is really suitable, it is really expected by everyone! The Leader ...... wisely"
"Yes, yes, how much the deputy sect leader has contributed to the sect in the past seven years, we are all like mirrors in our hearts, and now we can be regarded as looking for an opportunity to praise the deputy sect leader!"
……
All of a sudden, those who knew it, those who didn't know it, those who had seen it, and those who hadn't seen it, many people crowded to Lin Qing's side and said congratulations, wishes and the like.
This scene was something Lin Qing never expected. In the seven years of the Canglan Sect, although she has indeed made a lot of contributions to the sect, because she rarely appears in the sect, and as the deputy sect leader, there is no half of the person under her hand who can be sent, she is often regarded as air by the people in the sect, and even treated coldly by many people. Why did she suddenly become the focus of everyone's eyes today?
"Engong ......" Lin Qing muttered to himself, trying to search for Ning Canglan's figure in the crowd.
