Chapter 101: No Return
That's a great question.
Although Man Yun has always been a little annoyed by Man Jingren's unworthy troubles, at this moment, sitting in the pavilion and supporting Man Zhen, he still held his face seriously and held back the churning smile in his chest.
Since that day, when I heard Master Xu Ne say that Xiao Hong actually had the idea of writing a letter to Zaijian, Man Yun has been wondering about Xiao Hong's every move that does not grow. Obviously, he didn't like her, and the reason why he did this was just to make up for the regret of witnessing the tragic death of his father Zhou Zhe in the Great Ci'en Temple that day.
Zhou Manyun thought to herself that even if she was a human being in two lives, she didn't understand what love was, but now she clearly knew that she was disgusted with Xiao Hong's sympathy and pity.
With a sullen smile in his heart, Zhou Manyun held Man Zhen with one hand, and the other hand quietly let go and hung down at his side, ready to defend. Even if he is not afraid of Xiao Hong's murderous reputation in his previous life, just looking at his strength to kill people in Huocheng, it is not easy to get along, if he is really angry with Man Jing's question, Man Yun is worried that the sisters in the pavilion will be pond fish in vain.
But the unexpected answer to Man Yun actually sounded clearly in the pavilion.
"I'm only doing odd jobs in the boat line right now." , Xiao Hong glanced indifferently at Man Yun's hand, and replied softly to Man Jing in front of him: "Whether or not you have signed a deed with the Zhou family, my father will discuss it with Lord Zhou." ”
Selling the Zhou family? Gao Wei, who followed Zhou Ke and the brothers to the pavilion, paused and looked at the modest-looking young man in the pavilion very suspiciously.
"Sister Yun? What's going on? Zhou Shen directly pulled down Man Yun's sleeve and asked in her ear. Xu Ne is quiet, although the Dunyuan where he lives is in the Zhou Mansion. But it has always been forbidden to enter, and the other brothers of the Zhou family have never seen Xiao Hong. But Zhou Shen was still impressed by him, but he didn't understand that the guests in Xu Ne Courtyard somehow went around and became the little guy next to Xu Yu's brother. Zhou Shen didn't dare to say it. But when I heard the question of the deed from afar, I was even more confused.
The corners of Zhou Manyun's mouth pursed a hint of sarcasm, shook his head, and said, "The elders in his family should know Grandpa." ”。
If she was still afraid of Xiao Hong's letter to ask for her relatives before, then at this moment, Zhou Manyun was relieved under his prompting. Whether it was Xiao Rui or Xiao Hong's eldest brother Xiao Yuan, they were very dissatisfied with Zhou Manyun back then, especially Xiao Yuan wanted to kill Manyun when they first met. Although they haven't seen the Xiao family's father and son at this time, if they guessed that she was the daughter of the Zhou family in their previous life, they would still not agree to Xiao Hong's absurd suggestion.
"It's good to recognize it! When I go back, I'll talk to my grandfather, and immediately sign a contract with your father, and then you follow me! Zhou Chen's hand rested warmly on Xiao Hong's shoulder, and he smiled. Thinking that this young man surnamed Xiao got his deed of sale, his cousin's wild words last night completely became his own internal affairs, and he was in a very good mood.
Xiao Hong frowned, a finger erected. He pulled Zhou Chen's palm down in disgust.
Without waiting for Zhou Chen's face to change, Xu Yu's hand slapped his back, and he leaned back with a smile, unable to support his joy. There was an awkward atmosphere in the pavilion in an instant in this haha laughter one after another. Wiped out.
Is this still the life I once lived? Walking along the gentle mountain road, and then to the top of the mountain, you will be surrounded by the noise of young men and girls. Zhou Manyun gradually felt dazed.
Gao Wei in front of him was still as warm as jade, and he looked very serious when he asked Xiao Hong questions sideways. The person who answered was also patient, and there was no violent anger at all. Xue Sujun behind him had witty words. It was so funny that Man Shuman laughed constantly, and there was no poignant appearance of pear blossoms with rain when she first entered Gao's house.
There is also Man Zhen who is holding in his hand, Zhou Shen Zhou Huai who is walking not far away, and the fifth sister Manyin, in the previous life, they should have been just a small loess bag at this time......
"No return!" , next to the crane pavilion on the top of the mountain, Man Yun grabbed the little finger of the little cat and traced the words on the stone tablet little by little.
The three words "go and do not return" is the handwriting of the ancestor of the Zhou family, Ze Tinghou, engraved in the stone, the iron scratches the silver hook, and it is one of the seven monuments of the Zhou clan inheritance in Huocheng. Different from the simple and dignified big seal of the Wende Gong in front of the gate of the Zhou Mansion in Xibei, the book of Zetinghou here is a line of grass, which is more elegant and elegant......"
Zhou Ke, who has always been calm, danced with his eyebrows, and was very proud to tell his younger siblings about the ancestors of the Zhou family. A group of people moved their steps with his introduction, their expressions focused, unlike Man Yun, who had been taught in their previous lives, many of them had gone to Baiheliang for the first time.
Zhou Manzhen looked at the brothers and sisters who were shouting to count the lotus flowers in the pavilion, and there was some eagerness in his eyes. It is rumored that there are eighteen lotus flowers carved on the pedestal of the crane pavilion, ordinary people can count up to twelve, if they can count to eighteen, they must be Su Hui smart. Not to mention the children of the Zhou family, ordinary tourists come up to the mountain, and they also like to count.
Man Yun smiled, let go of Man Zhen's little hand, and raised his voice to call the fourth brother Zhou Shen. As soon as Zhou Shen stopped, the kitten rushed towards his brother, and he didn't see any hardship on the road.
"You're not going to count the lotus?"
"I'm a dumb one!" , Man Yun, who was half-squatting, did not raise his head, and his fingers were still slowly moving on the engraved book marks. If it weren't for rebirth, she would be a complete stupid person, and her brain would not be compared to a really smart person at all. For now, I still can't learn too many twists and turns, and I just hope that I can live a simple and simple life in the future.
"The ancestor Jing Guogong and Zeting Hou were once close friends of Mo Yi." , Xiao Hong leaned on the side of the monument and looked down at Zhou Manyun, who didn't pay attention to people at all, with a sleepy expression. He didn't know how to talk to the girl, so he could only try to find something to talk about.
"It's just Zeng!" , Man Yun stood up, pressed his hand on the stone tablet, and whispered: "Go and don't return......"
If you don't go back, as long as you have read the old stories in the early years of the Chen Dynasty, you will know that the old friends who followed the ancestors of the Chen Dynasty to fight the world together were already in the south and north of the world, not only the region they went to, but even the political opinions were thousands of miles apart, and there was no friendship. And it is said that when Prince Zhang Huai, who came out of Xiaozong Dynasty, died young, Jing Guogong also had a deep grudge with his grandfather Zhou Xian.
It is not only the ancestors who will not return, but also the previous life buried in the depths of Luojing Merlin, whether they love or hate, they will never return......
"The sixth sister is like this, she thinks she is proud of her grandfather, and she doesn't look down on her sisters, but she doesn't look down on her brothers. You see, there is also a joke with a servant at this time. The lotus flowers didn't count a few, and Zhou Manjing had already leaned into Xue Sujun's ear and bit her ear.
"Zhou Manjing!" , Hearing the end of the note, Zhou Manyin immediately stopped his steps and drank to his cousin, saying, "Don't talk about the rights and wrongs of your sisters!" ”
"Fifth sister!" , Manshu hugged Manyin's arm, screamed coquettishly, and winked at her twin sister.
Man Jing pouted, don't overdo it, but Xue Sujun stepped forward and dragged Man Yin's other hand, and responded playfully: "Sister don't dare to be angry, they are all your own sisters, how do you let Su'er deal with herself like this?" ”
Man Jing, who was dragged over, apologized very reluctantly, and Xue Sujun coaxed softly, but after a while, the three girls in front of Man Yin squeezed sweetly and greasy together, and counted the lotus flowers together.
Zhou Manyin counted carelessly, smiling bitterly in his heart. A sixth sister, Zhou Manyun, didn't mind leaving her sister to talk to a subordinate, and Xue Suyun who was sticking to her side was like a person made of sugar, sweet and sticky, three times and two times, she became a haode sister of the Tongjia family from a woman who met on the road.
If Xue Sujun proposes to come home after that, it will be difficult to refuse in terms of face, and Sister Manshu and Sister Man Shu will look at it. It's just that when Grandma knows that she has been entangled by a merchant girl like this, she will definitely blame her severely, and she knows that it is better to learn from Man Yun to be cold at the beginning, and let Man Shuman bear it if there is anything.
Zhou Manyin, who was remorseful, peeked at the "Go or Not" stone tablet and was stunned.
The man who was originally next to the monument is gone, and there is still the beautiful and delicate young man.
"Eighteen! Sister Su'er counted out eighteen ......", Man Jing's cry of surprise suddenly rose, and suddenly attracted everyone who was still walking around the pavilion to one place.
Xue Suyun, who was surrounded by several girls, had a shy flush on his face, his eyes blinking brightly, and he expressed excitement reservedly.
"Then let's go down the mountain! This time, Sister Su'er is going to ask for wine! Seeing that some of the girls had a number of results, Gao Wei, who had been patiently watching from the sidelines, walked over from the other side of the pavilion with a smile. The so-called counting lotus, in his opinion, is just a careful and careful, long before Xue Suyun counted the numbers, he and Zhou Shen had counted them, but according to the man's demeanor, it was not good to make the little girls who were difficult to go out sad, so they stayed on the side of the pavilion and watched the excitement.
"Cousin Gao, why are you the only ones here? What about Manzhen? Manyin didn't shout about Manyun's disappearance, but looked at the person next to Gao Wei seriously. On the side of the pavilion, in addition to Gao Wei, there are only two Zhou Shen and Zhou Xin.
"In the middle of another mountain road, there is a small waterfall rushing out of the Biluo Pond, and the eldest brother has asked the people to pick it up first. We're dining in the suburbs today. Man Zhen is ...... by the eldest brother", Gao Wei smiled in response.
At the beginning of the mountaineering, Zhou Ke had already arranged for some servants to take another road with cooking utensils and ingredients, so as not to interfere with the brothers and sisters climbing the mountain to see the scenery, and also gave the subordinates plenty of time to prepare. Zhou Chen, Zhou Huai and others, who had no patience to blow the wind and count the flowers on the top of the mountain, heard Xu Yu say that he was still taking a few lambs to roast the whole sheep according to the northern eating method, so they were even more impatient to wait for the girls and ran down the mountain early.
Zhou Ke walked away with Man Zhen, leaving Gao Wei and others, who could wait steadily, as defenders.
Thinking about it, Man Yun followed the eldest brother down the mountain together. Manyin let go of the slightly wet handkerchief in his hand and relaxed his heart slightly.
The way down the mountain was slower, and the women were not too tired to walk, but at three moments, Zhou Manzhen and the others clearly heard the sound of the faint thundering waterfall, and through the gap between the grass and trees, they could vaguely see that someone was waving to them by the pool.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came from far and near, and Xu Yu and Zhou Chen were still energetic, and they rushed up directly to pick up people.
Xu Yu swept over the heads of the people coming down the mountain, and immediately asked in surprise, "Where is Man Yun?" She's not with you? ”。
Zhou Manyin's face turned white, and his heart tightened...... (To be continued......)
