Volume I: Chapter Seventy-Eight: Rough
"Yu Yin, I've been thinking about this question just now. It's a pity that no matter what I think, I still can't think of an ugly person. I think it's because I live too rough on weekdays! So much so that I was always too lazy to take the time to think about those illusory things. Zhong Daxuan responded to Yu Yin helplessly.
"It's okay, Brother Da Xuan, since you can't think of an ugly person anyway, then you just don't think about it anymore, it's better to live roughly, you can save a lot of trouble. Anyway, what you should think about, you will naturally think about when the time comes; The answer should come up with you, and you will naturally figure it out when the time comes. It was getting late, it was time for dinner, and my belly was growling with hunger. Thinking about this hour, the maid sisters must have already sent our share of dumplings to Yutear Xuan! Don't forget that today is the winter solstice! Brother Da Xu, let's hurry back to the Fish Tears Pavilion and eat fragrant and hot dumplings! Yu Yin pretended not to care and comforted Zhong Daxuan, and inadvertently diverted the topic with Zhong Daxuan.
The next day, the fifteenth year of Kunqian, the second day of the winter month.
In the Heavenly Empire's Fuling City, on Jinhong Street, in the backyard of Shuixin Fort, out of due etiquette, Bai Liwei took Shu Yan to the Bing Ti Zhou where Bai Li Yuan and Xie Ruixiang lived early in the morning, and told his eldest brother Bai Li Yuan the good news that he and Shu Yan were in love and wanted to get married.
After hearing such amazing news, Baili Yuan naturally had to make things difficult for Bai Liyuan and Shu Yan.
So, I only heard Bai Liyuan questioning Bai Liwei and Shu Yan: "My second brother is going to marry my housekeeper, do you want to empty my real power in Jinhong Water Heart Fort in advance?" ”
"Sir, we have no intention of setting you up; What's more, I'm already determined to resign from my position as the steward of Jinhong Water Heart Castle. Shu Yan resolutely explained to Baili Yuan.
"Yo, huh? is about to become the second grandmother of our Jinhong Shuixin Baili family, you obviously don't look down on the position of the housekeeper of Jinhong Shuixin Castle, right? Geese. Baili Yuan continued to complain to Shu Yan.
"Master, you are underestimating Shu Yan too much. You know, not everyone is keen on power and is bent on status. Shu Yan said meaningfully to Baili Yuan.
Shu Yan's words are tantamount to a thorn in the back for Baili Yuan.
Just when the Bailiyuan brothers were embarrassed by the stalemate, Xie Ruixiang, who rarely spoke on the side, suddenly accosted: "Since Steward Shu is going to be promoted to the second grandmother, then I, the eldest grandmother, will take care of the house instead of her, I don't know what you think?" ”
"I'm okay with that." Shu Yan was the first to reply.
"I don't care." Bai Liwei replied.
"Then it's decided, come on, pass on the order, from now on, remove Shu Yan from the position of steward of Jinhong Shuixin Fort, and the affairs in Jinhong Shuixin Fort will be taken care of by my wife Xie Ruixiang for the time being." Baili Yuan finally decided.
Xie Ruixiang thought to herself: Finally, it is my turn to take care of the house, and now I can enter and exit the various courtyards in the castle openly, and I will have more opportunities to find what I am looking for.
Although this Jinhong Water Heart Fort is big, it is not as big as the world, and there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention the wall of Jinhong Water Heart Fort? It is even more breathable; So much so that the news that Bai Liwei and Shu Yan wanted to get married, and that Shu Yan took the initiative to resign from the position of the housekeeper of Jinhong Water Heart Fort, spread in an instant in the entire Jinhong Water Heart Castle.
For this pair of exciting news, there are naturally not a few people who have a lot of complaints about Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Castle; However, those who bear the brunt of this are puzzled and opposed, and naturally they have to be unable to do so.
So, on this day, Cheng Qilu rushed back to the side building of Jian Zeyuan and rushed to Shu Yan's side building as soon as he heard this exciting news, and asked Shu Yan again and again with deep incomprehension: "Yan'er, why would you rather choose that little white face who has no power to tie the chicken, than choose the captain of the dynasty who is strong in martial arts and outstanding marksmanship?" Although I am not as good as him in my dissertation, don't I feel more down-to-earth with someone like me by my side? ”
However, when Cheng Qilu's nervous expression and serious expression asked questions, and when he smoothly entered Shu Yan's ears as he wished, all he got was a sneer from Shu Yan.
After laughing, I could only hear Shu Yan respond to Cheng Qilu loudly: "General Cheng, this is a life, not a war, you don't have to have a master by your side to be practical; In other words, people who are strong in martial arts may not necessarily bring me a solid life. Even if I am no longer young, even if I am long past the age of emotional impulsiveness, I hope that my future husband will choose me without hesitation and without scruples, and not in a condescending posture with the intention of giving to me. ”
So, with such a categorical, resolute and unhesitating attitude, Shu Yan refuted one by one those who were not optimistic about her and Baili Wei.
Although even Shu Yan himself is not very optimistic about Baili Wei and Shu Yan's family business; But she obviously does not have enough strength to oppose herself, refute herself, and thus fight against her illusory and unreal self.
Although it presents a posture of overcoming obstacles and breaking through the bamboo, it does not mean that the presenter can have the last laugh all the way.
In the fifteenth year of Kunqian, the tenth and twenty-ninth days of the winter month.
In the Celestial Empire's Fuling City, on Jinhong Street, in the Fish Tears Pavilion of Shuixin Fort, under Yu Yin's repeated attempts to break through his heart and persuade him to no avail, Zhong Daxuan, who was still habitually standing at the door between the outhouse and the inner room of the main house, stood here at this moment to persuade Yu Yin and said: "Yu Yin, count the days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been living in this Jinhong Shuixin Fort for nearly a month; And you, as a cousin, should go to Jian Zeyuan to say hello to him! ”
And at this moment, Yu Yin, who was sitting on the bamboo couch by the window of the main room and reading a book, heard it, and angrily rejected Zhong Daxuan and said, "Don't go!" He is not an elder, so why should I be courteous to him? Is it because he is the prince of the Celestial Empire? ”
In fact, Zhong Daxuan's words are not unreasonable, and his words are quite tactful, and Yu Yin has no reason to be angry at all. But he was still angry for no reason, just because as the prince of Qi, he really didn't want to have too much contact with the prince of the Celestial Empire, and his sister Gu Liangsheng's thoughts were just the opposite of him.
"Then Miss Baili is not your elder, why do you have to run to the Illusion House where she lives in three days and two times?" Zhong Daxuan asked Yu Yin on a case-by-case basis.
"Because the Xushi Hall has the rules of the Xushi Hall, and the Shuixin Fort has the rules of the Shuixin Castle, Jinhong Shuixin Baili Family has its own unique style of acting; So even if his grandson Xianye is the current prince, he can't interfere in the affairs of the virtual and real conference, but Sister A is not. In terms of next year's virtual and real conference, Sister Ah is a key figure who plays a decisive role! Yu Yin responded to Zhong Daxuan truthfully.
When Zhong Daxuan heard this, he couldn't help but question Yu Yin's true intentions and said: "Yu Yin, then what do you mean is that the reason why you ran to the Illusion House for three days and two times is only because your sister is a key person who plays a decisive role?" ”
"That's probably what it means! Brother Da Xu. Yu Yin responded vaguely to Zhong Daxuan.
However, in fact, even Yu Yin herself is not clear about her true intentions; He couldn't figure out what he meant at all, and subconsciously thought that he was too insidious and complicated, but in fact he was not.
And perhaps, the sensitive and wise, delicate and fragile, gentle and lovely Yu Yin in the eyes of Zhong Daxuan and Jin Hong Shuixin Fort is his truest self.
And at this moment, Zhong Daxuan, who heard Yu Yin's vague response, couldn't help but ask Yu Yin in deep surprise: "Yu Yin, listen to what you mean, do you also want to be the head of the Void and Reality Hall?" ”
"Yes, Brother Da Xuan, you think well, I really want to be the head of the Void and Reality Hall." Yu Yin replied bluntly.
"I didn't see it, Yu Yin, your ambition is quite big! But I vaguely remember that when we first arrived at this Jinhong Water Heart Fort, didn't you still say to Steward Shu, 'Isn't the position of the head hall master of the Xushi Hall just a broken chair, who is rare' or something like that? How did you change your mind after only four months here? Zhong Daxuan asked Yu Yin puzzled.
When Yu Yin heard this, he thought to himself: Brother Da Xu, Brother Da Xu, you are really an out-and-out real person! If I say it's not rare, is it really not rare? If I really am not rare, why do I go all the way to pretend to be someone else to confess my relatives? And my original idea was to come to the position of the head of this Void and Reality Hall, when did it change?
Yu Yin thought so, and had to respond to Zhong Daxuan in a rambling manner: "Brother Da Xuan, as the saying goes, 'Time passes, that time, this time, this time', looking at everything in the world, it is impossible to be absolutely immutable; And it's only natural that my mind will change occasionally. Furthermore, whether or not I want to become the head of the Void and Reality Hall has nothing to do with the size of my ambition; Of course, it can't be said that it has nothing to do with it at all, only that it has nothing to do with my ambitions. ”
When Zhong Daxuan heard this, he couldn't help but ask Yu Yin in confusion: "I don't understand this, Yu Yin, since you are the one who wants to become the head of the Void and Reality Hall, if it has nothing to do with your ambitions, whose ambitions do it have to do with it?" ”
"Brother Da Xu, don't get to the bottom of it now! When the time comes, you'll be clear. Yu Yin said dumb riddles with Zhong Daxuan.
Yu Yin was deliberately obscure, but fortunately, Zhong Daxuan had a big heart, didn't care about the mystery, and wouldn't always keep the unsolved mystery in mind.
