Chapter 39: The Wedding Message
Today, Nan Ember Chen has nothing to do, sitting in the stargazing tower, quietly polishing a bead, he always feels that the gift to Huanhuan on the night of Qixi Festival is simpler. But there is one thing recently that makes him faintly uneasy, and he is always absent-minded when he grinds the beads.
The book written by Hu Lao'er, after he ran out of the Liuwang Mansion that day, he went to the street to buy a copy, and roughly understood the purpose of this book.
It's just borrowing some fantasy stories, so that he can bury the old emperor in the future, which is extremely boring!
Although the story is absurd, there is a connection between the details of each story, which makes people unconsciously believe in it, which shows the depth of the writer's pen and extraordinary status among the people.
But half a month, it has reached the point where everyone knows it.
Nan Yanchen stopped polishing the beads, the tip of his left ear trembled slightly, and then put on a faceless and heartless, hid the beads that were being polished, and quickly took down a book of divination from the bookshelf, held it in his hand, paced back and forth, and pretended to be reading the book seriously.
"Alright, don't pretend."
There is a characteristic of this person's walking, which is quiet.
Nan Shenchen, who has been learning astrology from Master Yiyi since he was a child, has been punished a lot for this.
But now is different from the past, Nan Ember Chen has already practiced that as long as his ears tremble slightly, he immediately became alert, put down the interesting plaything in his hand, picked up the book on the shelf, and pretended to look at it.
"The things on the ground that were used to grind jade beads have not been confiscated."
Nan Yanchen looked at the grinding tools on the ground and smiled awkwardly, "That was put a few days ago, Master may have made a mistake." ”
Master Yi glanced at Nan Yanchen, and finally put down his usual serious face, and looked at Nan Yanchen with a gentle expression, "Yanchen, what should I call your apprentice?" ”
"I only taught her to play the flute."
Seeing that his always old-fashioned master actually looked at him with a gentle expression, and suddenly mentioned his little apprentice, he couldn't help but be afraid that his master would calculate his little apprentice. After all, his master had personally killed the little mouse he had fed with his own hands, just because the incarnation of the Nine Heavens God Emperor was ruthless, and he was not allowed to have a love bond for anything or anyone.
"The Sixth Prince ordered someone to send a letter, saying that it was for you." Hearing Nan Yanchen answer himself so carefully, he was not annoyed, but his face was gratified, "It has something to do with the little apprentice you received." ”
"Where is the faith? Did he say anything else? As soon as Nan Yanchen heard Li Zerong, he remembered that day when he climbed over the wall and entered the Six Princes' Mansion without permission, for fear of being sued, "What does it have to do with slaves?" ”
"Slave?" With his bare feet, he turned his back and sighed, "This name is not good, it is too lowly, and it is easy to provoke sin." ”
"When does Master know the good or bad of names? It's a little bit more interesting. ”
Yi Yi knew the meaning of comparison in Nan Shenchen's words, "All things in the event are not as good as the stars in the long night." I originally wanted to teach you all what I have learned all my life, hoping to help you make a breakthrough in Si Tian's technique, which is really worthy of your identity as a god-blessed adult, but you have no intention of doing so. ”
"Master, you know, Ember Dust has never wanted to be a god who is believed in by all people."
"But you were born." Yi Yi slowly approached Nan Yanchen, reached out to take the book in his hand, and flipped a few pages at will, "Your fate has changed drastically due to strange celestial phenomena. Do you know what your biological father did to make a living? ”
"Pearl divers by the sea."
When Nan Yanchen said this, his face was very ugly, and he no longer had the usual joy and impropriety.
When Xiao Nan Shenchen cried and didn't want to accept this fateful arrangement, his master, Master Yiyi, would lock him in the Stargazing Tower and tell him what kind of destiny he would have taken if it hadn't changed his fate by strange celestial phenomena.
Perhaps, like his father, he will tie a hemp rope around his waist and risk his life to turn into the sea just to get the mussel beads in the sea......
"Your biological father was bitten to death by a giant mussel in the sea on the day you were born. Such an accident is expected for those who take pearls in the sea. This is fate. ”
"But I never believed in fate." Nan Yanchen's expression was solemn, his eyes showed ruthlessness, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he chuckled. He suddenly remembered the throbbing and realization in his heart when he first heard this sentence.
It was also such a night, when Nan Yanchen was in high spirits as a young man, but he was often scolded by his master for his poor divination skills. Every time he preached, Na Yi would emphasize to him that this was his destiny, that the strange celestial phenomena were his blessings, and that his fate would be like his biological father...... Even if he was unwilling, he had to choke up and accept this fateful arrangement.
Until he met a spirited child, who took the hand of the young Nan Yanchen and told him in a glutinous voice: "But I never believe in fate." ”
That child is Li Zefeng, the third prince who was demoted.
In fact, Li Zefeng couldn't remember what he said to Nan Yanchen, when he was young and jealous of his mother's concubine's pampering of his sixth brother to him. Whether he was splashing and rolling, or pretending to be sick, his mother would never come to see him.
For this reason, when he was four years old, he secretly ran to Si Tiantai at night, just because he heard that there was a god here who knew all the principles of the world. So he wanted to ask the Lord Shen Zhu why his mother never looked at him, and did not recognize him as a son like the sixth brother.
The young son is innocent and cute, how do you know that God wishes adults are just false statues, and there is no divine power.
The young Nan Ember Dust couldn't answer his question, and he didn't know what it was like to have a mother's love, he had been in Si Tiantai since he was a child, with only a stern and eccentric master by his side. But when he saw that child trusted him so much, he couldn't help but tell him what had happened to him.
Except for this child, his master, no one spoke to him until he was fifteen years old, when he won a great victory in the war of the key kingdom, and at the celebration banquet, he deliberately mispronounced the name of the emperor, just to seek a liberation from such an unrestrained fate.
Unexpectedly, this incident changed the original boring life of the gods. After that day, his master treated him much more leniently than before.
After all, he always wondered if it was the little boy's words that saved him, or did he save himself?
But Nan Ember realized that he owed the little boy a favor and an answer to a question.
"Ember Dust, what are you thinking?" He was so stubborn, and suddenly felt a little distressed, after all, he was the apprentice he raised, "The Six Princes' Mansion sent a wedding card, and Wang Shilang's daughter was pointed out by the queen to Li Zerong as a side concubine." ”
Nan Yanchen came back to his senses, and felt strange when he heard the words, but the unfavored prince married a side concubine and came to invite him? He is the god of the key country.
"Then don't go! What does it have to do with me. ”
"Good! It's not my apprentice. ”
Nan Yanchen was speechless, what was there to praise about this, but when he heard the next sentence of Qi Yi, he understood why his master praised him.
"Then you, as a master, want to give some gifts to your little apprentice? I recently got a string of South China Sea Buddha beads, why don't I return the ritual on your behalf? ”
"What, the woman who wants to be Li Zerong's side concubine is my slave?!" Nan Yanchen looked incredulous, and snatched the envelope from Yi Yi's hand. The red paper is now a wedding post.
"The invitation is written about a woman named Wang Huanhuan, but the general who sent the letter did say that your apprentice was going to marry the sixth prince, so he came to deliver the letter."
"No, no, my apprentice is Qi Nu'er, her name is Nu'er, not Wang Huanhuan, let alone the daughter of Wang Shilang!"
Nan Ember Dust exerted his strength in his hand, crumpling the conspicuous red paper into a ball.
"Now that it's been done, what's the importance of the name? The name Huan Huan is better than that slave, and it is better to be the one with the fire......"
Nan Ember couldn't listen to what his master was saying in a loud voice, just paced back and forth, dissipating the anger in his heart.
"Why is this happening?"
"What's wrong with you? Don't forget who you are! If you take into account the relationship between master and apprentice, go and take a look. ”
"No," Nan Yanchen shook his head painfully, and suddenly looked at Yan Yi with a solemn expression, "Master, I want to light candles every day and curse those six princes to death." ”
"Nonsense! What is your bond to that woman? Cursing the prince is a sin to lose his head! Yi Yi had never seen Nan Yanchen with such a look, and he couldn't help but be afraid of him, "From now on, you are not allowed to go out of the rooftop, so you can save it." ”
Nan Ashchen's expression was downcast, and he sighed lightly when he heard the door of the house being closed tightly. After a long time, he took out the red paper again, slowly unfolded it, and saw that his little apprentice would marry the sixth prince Li Zerong on the day of Qixi Festival, and his heart hurt.
His slave must not have been voluntary, and she was so happy to be with him.
Nan Shenchen looked up at the dark night stars in the sky, as if comforting himself, "Slave, wait for me on the night of Qixi Festival." ”
After that, the red paper shredded and his fingertips, his sleeves waved back fiercely, and with a light tap of his toes, the whole person easily flew into the air, slowly landed, left the star-gazing tower, and then disappeared into the night. Only a dim candle on the top of the starry tower remained, and the warm light was scattered in the dark night.
Although Nan Yanchen is not obsessed with astrology, he is a natural martial arts wizard, but in a few years, he has learned a good martial arts, although it is a stargazing tower far from the ground, it cannot prevent him from escaping from this tall building with internal force.
The place he went to was the Drunken Immortal Residence.
In the Drunken Immortal Residence, Xiaozhu squinted and lay lazily on the ice silk sleep, playing with a string of delicate black jade Buddha beads in his hand.
Xiaozhu was not surprised at all by Nan Yanchen's appearance in the middle of the night, but just pretended to squint at him with sleepy eyes.
"Where have the three princes gone?"
"With the help of Uncle Nan, I went back to the imperial city." Xiao Zhu sat up coyly, raised his eyes to look at Nan Yanchen, who had a completely different expression from before, and felt worried, "What's wrong with Uncle Nan today?" ”
"Where's it? When will I be able to return to the Imperial City? ”
"Uncle Nan, what do you mean by this? The Soul Eater whistle that Lin Daen left behind before his death has not yet been found, and it will take time. ”
Xiaozhu saw that he was in a bad mood, so he stood up, stood next to him, and quietly guarded him.
"Didn't you say you had a whereabouts?"
"It is rumored that Lin Da Benefactor gave this thing to Lin Gongzi Lin Yunyun early before he died, but unfortunately, Lin Gongzi was beheaded by the forbidden army under the gate of Changfu City two years ago. Now that two years have passed, this thing must not be with Lin Gongzi. ”
"Where is that?" Nan Yanchen had a rare anger, and reached out and punched the window, full of anger.
"Maybe it's in the hands of Lin Huanhuan, a young lady of the Lin family who doesn't know her whereabouts, Lin Daen loved her the most in her life."
"Then Miss Lin's name is Lin Huanhuan? I haven't heard of this yet. When Nan Yanchen heard the word Huanhuan, he remembered Wang Huanhuan written on the red paper just now, and faintly felt that there was a connection.
"It's the Miss Lin family who doesn't know what to do and hurt the great benefactor, if it weren't for her, just wait for Lin Gongzi to go to the Western Regions to persuade the lord of the Liang Kingdom, the Western Regions frontier is in turmoil, and there will be a cooperation between the inside and the outside, this is not the Li family today." Xiao Zhu's eyes flashed with tears somehow, he only knew that if he hadn't met Lin Jinhai in this life, maybe he would have been a few dry bones and slept underground, "But Lin Da'en has never let this key country change his surname, he just wants Concubine Shun's child to sit on the dragon chair." ”
"What does Lin Huanhuan have to do with the revelation of your Engong plan?"
Xiaozhu snorted coldly, his eyes showed murderous intent, and he said fiercely: "It's a big deal, many people died because of her..."
