Chapter 25 • Karma
When Xiang'er and Ling'er came to Anping Jun's Mansion, Jinhong was about to go out, and the three of them happened to meet at the gate, Jinhong saw the two, first cautiously and with a little expectation to look behind the two for a long time, and after confirming that no one would suddenly come out of nowhere to play a prank, he took his eyes back.
Xiang'er and Ling'er saw that Jin Hong regarded the two of them as air, but they were not angry, first laughed in unison, and then said in unison a little gloomily: "I've seen Jin Gongzi." ”
Jinhong returned the salute: "The two sisters are polite, I was about to go out, but you came to find me?" ”
Xiang'er is a little more out of character than Ling'er, so many times, as long as Xiang'er is present, she is basically accosted, Ling'er just listens with a smile on the side, when someone moves their eyes to her, she nods or shakes her head with a smile, only when someone asks a question by her name, she will open her mouth to give a simple answer, and at this time it is still Xiang'er talking:
"That's right, on the orders of my princess, I came to ask for new combat skills."
Jin Hong's face twitched a little, and he said embarrassedly: "Heh... Hehe, so soon, I'm not ready yet. ”
Ling'er rarely took the initiative to speak, and seeing that Jinhong was embarrassed at this time, she took the initiative to explain: "We naturally know that Gongzi is not ready, but the princess seems to have something on her mind recently, and she sent me two to get combat skills, but it was just an excuse to stay alone for a while." ”
After listening to Ling'er's words, Jin Hong was relieved and at the same time couldn't help but be a little curious: "What will Changfeng have on his mind?" ”
When Xiang'er blurted out that she wanted to tell the story of the court this morning, Ling'er gently pulled her sleeve and covered up the past with the words "I don't know".
Jin Hong did not doubt it, remembered that he was going out, and said to the two: "I am going to Mr. Kong Wensheng's house here, do you want to go over together?" ”
When Ling'er and Xiang'er heard Jinhong's words, they were both happy in their hearts, after all, if they didn't say anything else, just the three words Kong Wensheng made people more interested, and they were the most mysterious characters in the entire Dayan, so they nodded without the slightest hesitation.
Anping Junfu and Confucius Mansion are only separated by one street, and the speed of the three of them walking is not fast, although Xiang'er and Ling'er are not allowed to leave the palace without the permission of the queen mother like Changfeng, but they are not able to run out of the palace from time to time, so on the road, they are still curious about whether there are any new things like a baby, and they can also buy them and bring them back to the palace to relieve Changfeng's boredom.
After about a quarter of an hour, the three of Jin Hong came to the gate of the Confucian Mansion, and the family in charge of guarding the door was quite familiar with Jin Hong, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Jin Gongzi is here." ”
Then he looked at the two delicate women beside Jinhong, his eyes were full of appreciation, but there was no blasphemy, which showed that this person's character quality was excellent, and then turned his head to Jinhong and said, "I don't know who these two are?" ”
"They are friends from the palace, and Mr. Kong has also seen them."
The family suddenly realized, and then made way out: "It turned out to be a distinguished guest, please come in quickly." ”
Jinhong returned the salute, Xiang'er and Ling'er saw that Jinhong was so polite to this Ding, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they were slightly blessed, and they also saluted this Ding.
"Childe, who was that family just now, how can he afford your courtesy." Entering the mansion, the curiosity in her heart was like a cat scratch, but Xiang'er couldn't help but ask, and Ling'er also cast a pair of smart eyes on Jinhong at the same time, obviously she was also curious.
Seeing her two like this, Jin Hong pretended to whisper mysteriously: "You just need to remember that there is no simple character in this Confucian Mansion." ”
Xiang'er was full of expectations, but got such an ambiguous answer, and couldn't help pursing her lips, Ling'er just smiled slightly when she saw this, and suppressed that curiosity, since he didn't want to say it clearly, naturally he had his reasons, Ling'er thought so.
Seeing Xiang'er's disapproving appearance, Jin Hong was secretly amused in his heart, thinking that he didn't know the depth of this Confucian Mansion at the beginning, but he didn't suffer under the hands of these maids, and the most hateful thing is that the master of this mansion actually smiled and looked at it on the wall, you must know that we are An Pingjun's son-in-law and the only son, if you want people to know that the son of An Pingjun is being played like a monkey by the people of the house, then you have to do it!
But later, the strength of these people was also admired from the bottom of his heart by the son of An Pingjun, and now many of them may not be their opponents, but the respect in Jinhong's heart has never decreased, of course, his humility in exchange is also the respect of the Confucian Mansion for him.
The Confucian Mansion is not big, there is no Anping Jun's Mansion of nine curves and eighteen bends, three into the courtyard came to the backyard where Kong Wensheng is, the old man in the courtyard is still dressed as a scribe, is walking lightly, gestures soothing morning exercises, the body moves, seems to be moving but not moving, static but not quiet, between the palm prints are like water waves, rippling, the pulse is difficult to speak.
Jinhong took Xiang'er and Ling'er to stand aside, watching silently, there was brilliance flashing in his eyes from time to time, as if he had his own gains, Jinhong was better, in the past, he would also accidentally see Mr. Kong's morning exercises, and he was amazed at the beginning, and he was not surprised over time, but Xiang'er and Ling'er were seen for the first time, although the two had not practiced extremely martial arts in depth, but with their own meager extreme martial arts cultivation, they could still feel the majestic and vast extreme martial arts atmosphere on Kong Wensheng's body, and Jinhong on the side saw the reaction of the two, and smiled secretly in his heart:" I knew you would have this reaction. ”
The two women couldn't help but compare Kong Wensheng with all the extreme martial arts masters they had seen in their lives, but they regretted to find that even Dugu Jiu, the most powerful hussar general they thought was the most powerful, could not be compared with Kong Wensheng, and it was not at the same level.
Just when the three of them were still thinking about themselves, Kong Wensheng had already collected his mind, collected his whole body breath, and returned to his original ordinary appearance, this transformation made Xiang'er and Ling'er rub their eyes as if they couldn't believe it: "This old man in front of you is really the powerful extreme martial cultivator just now?" ”
greeted the three of them with a warm smile, and did not linger, leading the three of them to the summer pavilion in the backyard.
Xia Ting and Kong Wensheng live in the backyard is only separated by a wall, out of the courtyard door from the side of the past, Kong Wensheng in front, three people in the back, only to see that he came to the pool without the slightest intention to stop, continue to walk, startled Xiang'er and Ling'er hurriedly reminded him, but before they could speak, Kong Wensheng stepped out, and his figure appeared in the Xia Pavilion in the pool, bluffing the two women on the spot, and they didn't react for a long time.
Jin Hong shook his head and smiled on the side, it seems that the old man deliberately wanted to show off in front of the two girls, because he wanted to bring Xiang'er and Ling'er over, so Jin Hong did not choose to use the floating to cross the water, but walked to the corner of the pond to untie the tied flat boat, and took the second daughter to shake it over.
Entering the pavilion, Xiang'er and Ling'er saw Kong Wensheng again at this time, as if they were seeing a fairy, but Jinhong looked much more natural, after all, Old Man Kong was not less conspicuous in front of him.
Came to the opposite side of Kong Wensheng and bowed respectfully again, and sat on the opposite side of the table under the instruction of the other party, Kong Wensheng turned his gaze to the second daughter again, and said in a kind tone: "Don't be restrained, when the old man was teaching in the palace, we also met often, but the two little girls who followed Changfeng with pigtails back then have now grown into slim big girls." ”
Seeing that Kong Wensheng was so easy-going, the two gradually let go of the restraint in their hearts, and sat down on both sides of him at the signal of Jin Hong, at this time, a servant came to the pavilion with a pot of tea, mixed tea for these people, and then quietly retreated.
"The house is idle, except for Jinhong, but not many people come to visit, today the two came to the house, no matter where it came from, it is a dusty fate, the old man does not believe in the Tao in his life, does not believe in Buddhism, does not believe in fate, but is convinced of karma." Just like chatting about family life, Kong Wensheng is like a rich idler at this time, talking and laughing with the younger generations, sharing some life insights and philosophies in the world, but there will be no tone of the elders instructing the younger generations.
Jinhong, as usual, opened the Q&A mode with Kong Wensheng, at first Jinhong asked, Kong Wensheng answered, although he seemed ignorant, but Kong Wensheng explained them one by one, and for the ideas he conveyed, Jinhong did not accept them all, but had his own thoughts, which also made Kong Wensheng more satisfied with Jinhong.
"Sir, if there is a cause, there must be an effect, what is the cause and what is the result?"
"The cause arises from nature, and the result lies in the human heart."
"The rivers and lakes are splashed with blood because of grievances, the family and the country are conquest and slaughter due to disputes, grievances and disputes, killing and slaughtering, all are man-made, all in the hearts of the people, where is the nature?"
"You don't see that the rivers and lakes have grievances because of gold and silver, and the family and country have started to conquer because of hunger and cold, gold and silver are naturally produced, and hunger and cold are naturally caused."
Speechless for a while, just calm down and understand carefully, the two women are listening, although they can roughly understand what both sides are saying, but the deep meaning is that you can only look at me, I look at you, look at each other, all at a loss.
Seeing that Jin Ran was silent in thought, Kong Wensheng didn't bother him, turned his attention to Xiang'er and said, "You are the girl in red who likes to quietly poke the window paper when she is in class in Changfeng?" ”
Xiang'er didn't think that all the troubles that she thought no one could know back then were all seen in the eyes of the gentleman in front of her, nodded with a red face, and said apologetically: "Young and ignorant, please forgive me." ”
"Keen and studious, what a crime."
Kong Wensheng smiled heartily, then turned his gaze to Ling'er, nodded and said, "Knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and intellectual, there were actually six students in my class at the beginning. ”
Ling'er's face was slightly red, but it was also expected, after all, Xiang'er secretly poked the window paper and was discovered, so it was natural for her to hide under the window and eavesdrop and be discovered, she stood up and said softly: "Ling'er has seen Mr."
"Okay, sit down" Kong Wensheng continued: "Since there is this cause, it is the will of heaven, the old man has a set of combat skills, called 'Twin Spirits • Dark Fragrance Ying', I wonder if the two of you are willing to learn?" ”
When Xiang'er and Ling'er heard this, they were first excited and excited, after all, although the two of them were maids, they were all extremely martial cultivators, and they also knew the strength of extremely martial arts cultivators, if they could have the opportunity to become extremely martial arts cultivators, it would of course be a very exciting thing.
