Volume I: Chapter 39: Physique
When Zhong Daxuan on the side heard this, he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier, after all, he was going to greet Yu Yin instead!
Zhong Daxuan thought so, and subconsciously straightened his already straight body.
"Young Master, having said that, I'm worried that if no one is by your side to watch over you, you will involuntarily move around again." Shu Yan said to Yu Yin worriedly.
"For this, you can rest assured, Sister Yan'er, I promise you that I will never jump on one foot again while you and Brother Da Xuan are out, and this time I promise not to even move, I don't want Brother Da Xuan to be angry with himself for no reason." Yu Yin swore to Shu Yan and assured him.
"Young master, what you said is too exaggerated! He even said 'don't even move'! Then by the time we get back, you won't be exhausted! Shu Yan said to Yu Yin.
"I'm not so easily tired, Sister Yan'er, you guys go quickly, don't blame me for talking about the topic for a while." Yu Yin said, turned his head to the side, and pouted dissatisfiedly.
A moment later, Shu Yan and Zhong Daxuan hurried to the gate of Jinhong Water Heart Castle; Fortunately, Tian Guan has not yet arrived.
So, Shu Yan and Zhong Daxuan stood outside the gate of Jinhong Shuixin Fort under the scorching sun, patiently waiting for the arrival of Tianguan.
"Steward Shu, I think there must be a lot of carriages parked in this huge Jinhong Water Heart Castle. You should really arrange one of them to go to Qianjie Cloth Village and take Master Tian directly to the castle, so as to show our meticulous and thoughtful hospitality! Zhong Daxuan said to Shu Yan during the long wait.
"Zhong Gongzi, I'll just say that you are thick and detailed, you think about it is meticulous and thoughtful! It is true that there are many horse-drawn carriages parked in this Jinhong Water Heart Castle, but they are not on the side of the main house, but on the side of the annex. As for why I didn't send a carriage to meet Master Tian Guan, it was because she always liked to be alone, and she didn't like to be urged or restrained. Shu Yan explained to Zhong Daxuan.
"Steward Shu, isn't the Qianjie Cloth Village where Master Tian works far away from here? If not, after you have been delayed for so long in the Fish Tears Pavilion, we have been waiting here for so long a day, why are we still not seeing Master Tian and her coming? Zhong Daxuan asked Shu Yandao.
When Shu Yan heard this, she recalled the situation in the morning, and responded to Zhong Daxuan in her guess: "I came back by car before her, and she said that she would arrive immediately after finishing the work at hand." As for the distance from Qianjie Buzhuang to here, it is not close to say that it is not close, it is not far away, anyway, if she is taking a car, she should be here now, I am afraid that I am only afraid of ......"
"I'm afraid I'm delayed by the work she has at hand." Zhong Daxuan took Shu Yan's words and guessed.
"I'm afraid she came on foot!" Shu Yan revealed the secret to Zhong Daxuan.
"On foot? Steward Shu, you're joking with me again. Isn't Master Tian extremely busy? How can you still have time to come on foot? Zhong Daxuan asked Shu Yan again and again in puzzlement.
"I'm busy!" Shu Yan replied succinctly.
In this way, Shu Yan and Zhong Daxuan waited quietly for a while, and finally a woman dressed as a tailor finally appeared in their sight.
Shu Yan naturally knows this woman dressed as a tailor, and of course Zhong Daxuan also knows that she is the most exquisite tailor in Qianjie Cloth Village-Tian Guan.
You must know that this Thousand Knot Cloth Village is the largest cloth village in the entire Fuling City!
Sure enough, as Shu Yan guessed, Tian Guan really came on foot. As Tian Guan strode forward, her figure became clearer and clearer in Zhong Daxuan's sight.
However, to Zhong Daxuan's surprise, this master Tianguan not only came on foot, but also alone, without any accompanying apprentices or followers; The only thing that accompanied her was the large, well-cut and finely made cloth bag that she carried on her shoulder.
When Tian Guan walked up to Shu Yan and Zhong Daxuan, Zhong Daxuan decided by feeling that this Tian Guan master must be a few years older than Shu Yan.
Sure enough, Shu Yan called Tian Guan "sister" and said, "Sister Guan, why did you come on foot again?" ”
Although Zhong Daxuan's awareness is not as sensitive as Yu Yin's, Zhong Daxuan's heart always remembers that he came in place of Yu Yin this time; So he concentrated all his attention, observing and listening to the people and things in front of him, as well as the words between them, so that he could collect them bit by bit, and go back to narrate them to Yu Yin meticulously.
And the word "again" that Shu Yan had just spit out in his mouth was obviously noticed and collected by Zhong Daxuan.
At this moment, Zhong Daxuan couldn't help but think: Could it be that this Master Tianguan has also come to this Jinhong Water Heart Fort on foot before?
"Sister Yan'er, you and I haven't known each other for a day or two, what kind of person I am and what kind of temperament I have, don't you know? I cherish this rare hiking time. Tian Guan responded to Shu Yandao.
"Clear, clear, Sister Guan, let's stop basking outside, let's get inside, the sun is too dazzling today!" Shu Yan said to Tian Guan while holding Tian Guan's right arm, wanting to return to Jinhong Water Heart Fort.
It is said that "don't bask outside, come into the house", but with a house as big as Jinhong Shuixin Fort, how easy is it to enter a house? What's more, is it to enter the house located in the backyard of the castle?
Fortunately, it is not the Night Courtyard located in the deepest part of the backyard; Fortunately, there is shade from trees along the way in the backyard to block the strong sunlight.
As for what Tian Guan and Shu Yan tacitly were, about what kind of person Tian Guan is and what kind of temperament he has, for Zhong Daxuan, heroism is the first impression left by Tian Guan; And hearty - is the first feeling that Tian Guan brought him.
And Tian Guan is exactly like this, what you see of her, what kind of person she is; What you feel about her, what kind of heart she has. Her heart changes with your state of mind.
When Shu Yan, who wanted to return to Jinhong Shuixin Fort, took Tian Guan to the front of the fort gate, Tian Guan suddenly stopped, and involuntarily looked up at the large magnificent plaque directly above the fort gate, as well as the three big characters of "Shuixin Fort" that were still clearly visible on the plaque.
"Sister Yan'er, after so many years, this Jinhong Water Heart Fort is still the same!" Tian Guan couldn't help but sigh to Shu Yan beside him.
"It's a pity that things are wrong." Shu Yan, who was heartbroken for a while because of regret, also sighed.
"What's wrong, sister Yan'er, aren't you still you? Isn't there a trace of sadness hidden behind your smile? Tian Guan looked at Shu Yan's face helplessly and said to Shu Yan.
"Forget it, Sister Guan, let's not talk about this, let's hurry up and go to the castle!" Shu Yan said that, and then walked straight forward with Tian Guan in his arms.
However, just as Shu Yan was about to step into the castle gate with Tian Guan in his arms, Tian Guan suddenly noticed Zhong Daxuan who was following closely behind him.
"Hey, this young man is looking at his eyes! Sister Yan'er, he is definitely not the young master of your family, right? Tian Guan judged bluntly and asked Shu Yandao.
"Oh, Sister Guan, I don't know what's wrong today, I'm always in a state of distraction, my thoughts are wandering, and I forget this and that. You see, didn't I forget to introduce you to this again? This is Zhong Daxuan Zhong Gongzi who came with me to greet you. Shu Yan introduced Zhong Daxuan to Tian Guan.
"I'll just say, he's definitely not the young master of your family." Tian Guan said to Shu Yan.
"Yes, Master Tian, with my embarrassed appearance, where is it like the rich and noble young master of the Jinhong Shuixin Baili family?" Zhong Daxuan suddenly felt ashamed and said to Tian Guan.
When Shu Yan heard this, he suddenly felt that it was not a taste, and when he wanted to say something to comfort Zhong Daxuan, he was preemptively opened by Tian Guan next to him and said, "Zhong Gongzi, right?" I'm like this, I speak straight and straight, I say what I see and what I think; It's not that I don't know how to tell lies, but what I say is often worse than the truth. As for you, you're really embarrassed, but it's not on the surface, but on the inside. You look down on yourself from the bottom of your heart, but you don't know that although you are not rich, you can hardly hide the wealth around you. ”
When Zhong Daxuan heard Tian Guan's words, he was confused.
When Shu Yan heard it, he instantly understood it.
"Zhong Gongzi, don't think about it, the reason why Sister Guan can see at a glance that you are not my young master is because I have already informed Sister Guan before, saying that the young master has a fracture in his right foot and is unable to move." Shu Yan scribbled to Zhong Daxuan.
"I see." Zhong Daxuan muttered to himself in a low voice.
Although Zhong Daxuan's voice was very small to himself, he was still listened to by Tian Guan, who was sharp-eared, and only heard Tian Guan say to Zhong Daxuan according to Shu Yan's meaning: "It's not like this, what else can it be?" Zhong Gongzi, look at your vigorous pace, where does it look like you have a broken right foot and are unable to move? ”
"Yes, Sister Guan, with our Zhong Gongzi's physique, that's not something that ordinary young men can compare! But then again, you're really accurate! Our Zhong Gongzi is really a distinguished guest of this Jinhong Water Heart Baili Family! He's the eldest brother of my young master! Shu Yan said to Tian Guan, and his words were full of appreciation and praise for Zhong Daxuan.
In fact, even if Shu Yan didn't say anything to praise Zhong Daxuan, just the words "Our Zhong Gongzi" that she repeatedly blurted out were enough to make Zhong Daxuan doubly moved.
"Oh, it turns out that you are the eldest brother of the young master of the Baili family! Zhong Gongzi, in this way, you are the eldest young master? Tian Guan said and laughed unrestrainedly.
