Chapter 5: The Fog Gathers (2)
The two followed the maid into the only inn in Youxian Town.
Qingling had been to this inn a few times before, but at this moment, some memories were in a trance, and he wasn't sure if he had gone to the wrong place.
Originally, the patio was cluttered with chicken coops, duck cages, carts and other things, which were cleaned up and cleaned, and all kinds of precious flowers were moved, such as gladiolus, peonies, and tulips...... Thousands of purples and reds, bees and butterflies linger. When the wind passes, a refreshing fragrance spreads in the air, accompanied by the ethereal wind chimes under the eaves.
The other guests in the inn had all been invited out, and even the shopkeeper's family could only hide in the kitchen and tease the fire. In the front yard and in the lobby, neatly dressed and well-dressed servants and maids of distinct rank, all of them looked like people with divine powers.
The servants and maids saluted the maid who was making trouble just now: "Miss Ying'er." ”
Qing Ling thought in his heart, he has grown knowledge, and it turns out that the maids of large families also have to be graded......
Ying'er went up to the second floor and stopped outside a wing room with a carved door frame.
"Miss, someone has found you."
The person inside did not speak immediately, and only after a moment did he say unhurriedly and softly, "Please come in." ”
This wing room is the largest of the Wandering Immortal Inn. The room is surrounded by elegant incense, and the partition with a curtain of lotus color hangs cleverly divides the whole room into two parts: the outer compartment and the inner compartment.
Through the gauze curtain, it is faintly visible that there are two women in the inner compartment, standing and sitting.
The woman who was seated was leaning on a couch in front of the window, holding a silk fan in her hand. The standing one stood in front of a pot of spider plants, his fingers caressing the slender orchid leaves.
"Ying'er, you go out first."
The woman standing in front of the orchid opened her mouth, and her voice was as soft as before, like the first chirp of a delicate warbler.
After Ying'er exited the door, she slowly turned around and looked at Qing Ling and Luo Yao through the curtain.
"Are you two Chongwu's disciples?"
Qing Ling was still on fire, and said a little angrily: "If you want to ask to see Chongwu's people, you should generously hand over the name post, why let the maid make trouble at the mountain gate and bully those who come to break through and apprentice?" ”
The young lady listened to Qingling's questioning, she was not anxious or annoyed, and said apologetically: "I can't hide it, the little girl came to Chongwu this time, and her father and brother didn't know about it, so it was inconvenient to hand over the name post." Originally, I asked the maid to invite a Chongwu disciple to come here as a guest, but all I saw were just puppets transformed by puppets. ”
She explained it clearly, and her tone was very sincere, Rao is Qingling was straightforward, and she couldn't get angry for a while.
Qing Ling cleared his throat, "Okay then." Listen to your maid, you have something to ask us, so ask! ”
The young lady moved closer in the direction of the curtain, and her voice became low, "I don't know...... On Chongwu Mountain, has there been a man living in it recently? ”
Man?
Qing Ling was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Luo Yao behind him.
"Yes, my seventh junior brother is ......"
Before she could finish speaking, the woman who was leaning on the beauty couch suddenly got up and threw the fan, lifted the curtain and walked out quickly.
The young lady who asked her earlier wanted to reach out to stop her, but she didn't stop her, and only called out in a low voice, "Auntie!" Then he followed.
The woman who was called Ah Jing was wearing an ice blue scattered flower Ruyi cloud smoke skirt, her appearance was very pretty, she went straight past Qingling, stood in front of Luo Yao, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looked him up and down, first with a look of disappointment, and then a little embarrassed, she turned around sharply, and her tone was anxious and lost, "It's not him!" What should I do, Sister Shiyin, it's not him ......"
Shiyin stroked Ah Jing's back comfortingly, and looked at Luo Yao with a little melancholy in her expression.
Luo Yao was very generous, the corners of his lips were lightly touched, and he smiled gently, "Did you disappoint the two girls?" ”
Shiyin shook her head and said, "It's my sisters who are abrupt, please don't be surprised." ”
She wore a pale pink butterfly and wore a floral cloud satin skirt, a rose-colored begonia hairpin between her hair buns, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and her demeanor was very elegant and leisurely.
Luo Yao's expression was calm, and he saluted humbly, "How dare you." ”
Ah Jing turned her head to look at him, then immediately looked away, biting the corner of her lip and being silent.
Shiyin thought for a while, turned around and asked Qingling: "Except for the seventh junior brother of the honorable driver, I don't know...... Is there anyone else? ”
Qing Ling suddenly remembered the white-clothed boy he had seen at Bichen Peak.
She hesitated to tell the story......
But Master has confessed that no one is allowed to go to Bichen Peak without authorization. If you tell it, won't you confess yourself?
Luo Yao took over and said in a similar manner, "Chongwu has a total of four peaks and many palaces, and occasionally a friend of the family teacher will come to live and improve his cultivation with the help of the aura of the Misty Valley Ganyuan. I don't know what the name of the person the two girls are looking for is? What does it look like? After going back to the mountain, you can help inquire about one or two. ”
Now it was Shiyin's turn to hesitate.
Ah Jing opened her mouth and said, "That person is my brother, and he looks ...... Looks superb. ”
She looked at Luo Yao as she spoke, and involuntarily compared her brother with the man in front of her, and for some reason, her face was faintly hot.
Luo Yao smiled and said, "Since he is the girl's brother, he must be a person with outstanding appearance." ”
Ah Jing has heard countless flattering words in her life, and she has long been completely inappropriate. But the man in front of her, with a beautiful appearance, a dusty appearance, a calm and natural speech and demeanor, and no deliberate flattery, made her feel a trace of embarrassment in her heart.
Where could Qing Ling see Ah Jing's psychological changes, and only secretly hesitated, since the man in white was someone's brother, and he was so anxious to find it, I am afraid that something urgent happened at home, if he didn't tell him, wouldn't it be too unreasonable?
After hesitating for a moment, she asked Ajing, "Is your brother ...... Are you good at music? Raising his hand and gesturing, "It's probably so high, and the expression is cold......"
Ah Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes!" It's him! Have you seen him? ”
Shiyin also looked at Qingling, and there was earnestness in her eyes.
Qing Ling glanced at Luo Yao, and saw that he was staring at him with slightly squinted eyes, as if he was conveying some kind of hint, but he couldn't understand his intentions for a while, so he had to answer honestly: "Yes, I've seen him." ”
Ah Jing hurriedly said, "Then can you take me to see him?" ”
Qing Ling hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, Master has ordered, no one is allowed to see him!" ”
She was worried about her teacher's life, and said with distress: "Actually...... When I saw him, it was already considered a disobedience to the teacher's orders. ”
Hearing this, Ah Jing pursed her lips tightly, and her expression gradually darkened.
Qing Ling saw it in his eyes, and the boss in his heart couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help but reach out to hold her arm, and said with relief: "But you don't have to worry, he looks good." ”
Unexpectedly, she forgot for a moment that she was a man at this time, and overestimated Ah Jing's temperament, and suddenly "snapped" and slapped her!
"Presumptuous!"
Ah Jing glanced at Qing Ling, waved her hand and dusted off the sleeve of her shirt that she had pulled.
Qing Ling covered her face, stunned, and glared at Ah Jing in disbelief.
She has been loved by her senior brothers in Chongwu since she was a child, and even the strict third senior brother has never beaten her. And right now, he was inexplicably slapped in the face by a little girl.
Shiyin complained in a low voice: "Auntie, you ......"
Ah Jing raised her head, "What's wrong?" Who is he? How dare you take my hand! ”
She subconsciously glanced at Luo Yao out of the corner of her eye, and her voice lowered unconsciously, "Men and women don't kiss, how can I let people ruin my reputation." ”
Qingling was also angry, pointing at Ah Jing, "Who rarely pulled you?" Fierce mother-in-law, your brother doesn't want to see you! ”
She turned to Luo Yao and said, "Xiao Qi, let's go!" After speaking, he pushed the door and walked out.
Qingling didn't know that her sentence "I deserve your brother and don't want to see you" just touched Ah Jing's most sensitive nerve.
Ah Jing didn't care about etiquette anymore, so she chased after her and ordered loudly: "Come on, stop him for me!" ”
