Xinyuelan is the younger sister of Xin Wenzhong, and that day and Yahuan Chunyu and Xia Yu returned in embarrassment, because of the cold, the body was a little cold, and she was angry in her heart, and she had a serious illness after returning home, and it took half a month to recover.
On this day, Xinyuelan recovered and punched in the courtyard for a while, then absentmindedly stopped moving, walked to the middle of the field, and sat in a chair to start. After a while, his face showed a color of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Little bald donkey, it's really hateful, my aunt and grandmother will definitely kill you and take revenge!" As he spoke, he slammed his little fist into the air in a huff.
Chunyu and Xia Yu saw it on the side, their faces showed distress, and Chunyu stepped forward and persuaded: "Miss, which little monk are you hating called Jingxin!" He is hiding in the Baoling Temple now and can't come out, so let's not get into trouble with him? ”
Xinyue Lan said fiercely: "This girl doesn't believe that he can be a turtle with a shrunken head for the rest of his life, hiding in Baolin Temple and not coming out, the **** suffered a great shame, and his innocent body was given by him...... He gave ......, huh! In short, I have to catch him, skin him, and pull his tendons, so that I can quench the hatred in my heart! ”
Xia Yu enlightened her: "Miss! Why don't you wait for your owner to come back? He went to the north to do business, and when he comes back, let's go to the trouble of the little monk again? Do you think that's good? ”
Xinyuelan stood up angrily and said loudly: "No! My brother he's out on business, who knows how long it will take him to come back? I can't wait for a day for this humiliating revenge! You guys take the guy with me, and let's go to the little monk to settle the score." With that, he took his long whip and a sword at his waist, and the tiger took the spring rain and the summer rain and walked out.
"Stop...... where are you going!" An extremely stern voice came, which frightened Xinyuelan and immediately stopped. When I looked back, I saw my mother walking over from the garden with two maids, Qiu Yu and Dong Yu.
"Mother! I...... I went out with Spring Rain and Summer Rain to relax? Xinyuelan said with a smile on her face.
Xinyuelan's mother's name is Miao Jinhua, she is a widow, looking at Wenwen weak, but in fact, she is a gangster figure, Xinyuelan has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, although she has always been arrogant and willful, but she is still very afraid of her mother. At that moment, he walked back and stood honestly in front of his mother.
Miao Jinhua sat in the chair, and asked in a deep voice with a cold face, "Where are you going crazy today?" A young lady from a large family, not learning to paint red embroidery at home, but dancing with knives and sticks all day long, spread it out, and what family's young master dares to marry you! You are recovering from a serious illness, your body is still weak, you will take care of yourself at home for a few days, and after more than ten days, your mother will take you to Gaoyou to see your uncle, and ask him to tell you a good family business! ”
Xinyuelan's face immediately turned pale, and she stammered, "Daughter...... Daughter...... I'm still young and don't want to get married, so why don't I stay with my mother and serve you? ”
Miao Jinhua sighed and said, "If a woman is not stayed, how can there be a reason for a daughter to stay by her mother's side all the year round?" Besides, you're not too young, you're twenty years old, and if you don't get married, it's too late! Mother can't miss your life, your uncle has promised to tell you a good family thing! You ......"
"My daughter won't marry the son of the sect leader if she dies!" Xinyuelan gritted her teeth and said categorically.
Miao Jinhua's eyes widened, her face was stunned, and she was stunned for a long time and said, "You already know!" It's good to know! That master's son, I've taken a fancy to you! He is very highly regarded by the sect master, and he may not succeed the sect leader in the future, you marry him as a concubine, and you have endless glory and wealth, how is this family business bad? ”
Xinyuelan pursed her lips and said: "Anyway, I won't marry him, that person has evil eyes, and he is not a good person at first glance, so it's better to marry my cousin and marry him!" ”
Miao Jinhua lowered her face and said, "No! I can't do this for you, if you don't marry, you have to marry? ”
Xinyuelan retorted: "My daughter just won't marry!" Uncle, I won't go! Whoever wants to marry him, marry himself! ”
"You?" Miao Jinhua was furious, suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped Xinyuelan, and scolded in her mouth: "Presumptuous! So if you don't marry a powerful person, what kind of person do you want to marry? Must marry! ”
Xin Yuelan covered her face with her hands and cried, "Mother...... You beat me, I've grown so big, and you've never hit me? Do you know it's a fire kang, but you have to ask your daughter to jump in? As he spoke, he covered his face with his hands and ran away from the village crying. Miao Jinhua gave Chunyu and Xia Yu, who were standing next to her, a look, and the two of them understood, and hurriedly chased them out.
"Ahem! This kid? Spoiled for choice! Miao Jinhua sighed.
Qiu Yu said on the side: "Madam, why don't I go and invite the young lady back?" ”
Miao Jinhua shook her head and said, "Forget it! Let her go crazy for a few more days! After a while, I personally took her to Gaoyou, and who would dare to push back the person the sect leader's son wanted? For Wenzhong, am I for a new home? I...... I had to sacrifice Yuelan! ”
Xinyuelan ran out of the village in a fit of anger, rode a fast horse, and unconsciously ran in the direction of Baolin Temple, ran eleven or twelve miles in one breath, and only then did she sober up in her mind, riding on a horse and walking slowly, thinking in her heart: "My mother asked me to marry the son of the sect leader, who has a pair of triangular eyes, a sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and a short and thin body, I hate him when I see him, why do you want me to marry him?" Can she marry cousin too? My mother only has my brother and her mother's family in her heart, and there is no me at all, what should I do? Walking all the way, thinking all the way, I unconsciously remembered the little monk who kissed me by the river that day, and compared: "The son of the sect leader, is it better than that little monk?" At least the eyebrows are clear and the eyes are quite cute, and the figure is also tall, much stronger than the son of the sect leader! Thinking about it, I suddenly felt in my heart that the little monk seemed to be less hateful, at least much cuter than the son of the sect leader. As he was walking, Chunyu and Xia Yu rode up from behind, and shouted anxiously: "Miss, where are you going?" Neither of us will be called. ”
Xinyuelan said angrily: "I went to settle accounts with the little monk who stained my innocence, he provoked this girl, and this girl pestered him, and he had to torture him to die and live!" ”
Chunyu and Xia Yu were behind them, glancing at each other, Chunyu stuck out his tongue and joked: "Miss! Which little monk actually looks quite cute, he saved your life that day, he also said that it was your natal nobleman, the deeper you hate him, the deeper you love him, you better don't go to him, beware of falling in love with him? ”
Crescent Moon Lan sneered, "Joke! With his flamboyant appearance, this girl will be angry when she looks at him, and she will fall in love with him, so it's good if you don't kill him! She said this, but when she thought about it carefully, the little monk seemed to have nothing to be sorry for herself except for insulting herself, especially what kind of appearance and demeanor seemed to be a little cute now! At this time, he wanted to clear him from his heart, but he wanted to recite Amitabha Buddha and desperately get into his heart. Suddenly there was a trace of panic in his heart, so he shook his head vigorously, and said fiercely: "This girl has to kill him and take revenge?" You and I have taken a good look at the terrain inside and outside the Baoling Temple today, and I will sneak in and kill him tonight! ”
Chunyu and Xia Yu looked at each other and smiled, their own young lady is too capricious, that Baolin Temple is a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River, the monks in the temple are all practicing martial arts, there are no less than 100 monks in the temple alone, Miss This little martial arts, how can it be the opponent of others, I am afraid that as soon as I jump into the wall, I will be caught. But she didn't dare to disobey her intentions, so she had to accompany her to Baolin Temple. After a while, when she arrived outside the mountain gate of Baolin Temple, Xinyuelan got off her horse, tied her horse to a wooden stake outside the temple gate, and walked inside.
Naturally, there are monks from Baolin Temple guarding the mountain gate, and the story of Xinyuelan beating Lin Yi has long been spread to all the monks in the temple! The monks in the temple are very sympathetic to Lin Yi's experience, and their relationship with Lin Yi has always been good. Xinyue Lan often came to Baolin Temple with her mother to offer incense, and the monks at the door knew her, and when she saw her coming, she stepped forward to stop her, saying that she would not let their master and servant in, and also sent someone to quietly deliver a message to Lin Yi, asking him to be careful. Xinyuelan disturbed the door for a long time, but she didn't dare to break in, so she had to take the spring rain and summer rain to withdraw from the mountain gate, and unwillingly circled around the Baolin Temple.
When Lin Yi walked outside the mountain gate, it happened that Xinyuelan came back in a circle, and the two of them saw each other, and suddenly the enemies' eyes turned red when they saw each other, and they stared at each other viciously, and never left.
Ho! This little girl's skin is dressed up heroically today, isn't it quite flattering? Belch! Why are you looking at me so viciously? Do you want to crush me from the momentum? We are a big man, how can we ask you to be a little girl to press down, don't look at you are tall and strong, but in front of me, a big man, you still have to be pressed down by me, we can't beat you in a fight, but we have to press you in momentum. Lin Yi looked at Xinyuelan with burning eyes, and Xinyuelan also glared back at him, and for a while, the two were indistinguishable and stalemate.
Their performance naturally attracted the attention of the good men and women who came to Baolin Temple to incense, and they looked at them curiously one by one, and left in confusion, but there was no lack of good deeds, looking at their appearance, and wanted to make an inquiry.
An old man in his sixties glanced at Lin Yi, then at Xinyuelan, and said puzzledly: "Little Master, what are you doing here?" ”
Lin Yi woke up, bowed down, lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "Old uncle, you don't know, in fact, I am a poor scholar, and this young lady is in love, private engagement, who ever thought that the parents at home but opposed our marriage, this young lady's parents told her another rich son, I was sad, so I followed the empty door and became a monk." Today, this young lady came to me, but she wanted me to elope! ”
The old man was surprised: "Amitabha! Is there such a thing? Is it any wonder that the new lady is twenty years old and has never married? It turns out that she has been thinking about you in her heart? This old man has to talk to the new lady and Xin Wenzhong, how can they do such a thing of hating the poor and loving the rich? This is going to force young people out of the way, but how can it be good? ”
Lin Yi said with a sad face: "Xiaosheng has already decided to fall into the empty door, and the love with Miss Xin...... I had to cut it off? Ay! has a lover but can't end up married, this is really the saddest thing in life! Old uncle, don't talk about it with Miss Xin's parents and brothers, after all, it's not a good thing for the two of us to elope! ”
The two were some distance away from Xinyuelan, so Xinyuelan never heard what the two said, but she always felt that this little monk had some conspiracy against her, and she happened to know this old man, and he was a very famous member of the local area. Let's ...... alone" She originally wanted to say Shan Yan, but Lin Yi immediately understood what she meant, interrupted her loudly, and said categorically: "I won't be alone with you, let's break up in the future, you go and marry your rich son, I will be my monk, I won't ruin your reputation, farewell!" "Anyway, turn around and snort, and go back to the temple?
What is this little monk doing weirdly? Why did you say that the two headless and brainless people fled! Xinyuelan's eyes widened, revealing a dazed expression.
