"Hey, I'm talking about you girl! I asked you to pick the evening primrose, and you poured it well, but you ran back drunk and drunk! I'll just ask you, what about the grass?! Xiao Ji glared at Jiu Yao with an innocent face, and his beard was blown one by one, which was quite funny.

"Oh, don't be angry, old man. When you're old, you're not in good health, but don't you want to be calm and self-reliant? Look at who is like you, the beard is so old, and the temper is so big all day long, and you are not afraid to really carry yourself out of anger one day! Jiuyao laughed while raising his hand and pulling Old Man Xiao's baby beard without fear of death.

"Hey, hey, you stinky girl, let me go! It hurts me! ”

"Let go? Well, if you don't pursue my descent from the mountain, then how about I let go immediately? Jiu Yao raised his eyebrows, and said very unceremoniously.

"You...... You're ...... Hey, okay, okay, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I promise you that you can't do it! But I can tell you, don't take an example, or you won't want to come back for the next three years! Xiao Ji looked at the flamboyant girl in front of him, compromising as always. Although she said that she would be punished severely every time, but every time it was a small punishment and a big admonition, so that now she didn't take his threat to heart at all, and if she was interested, she would always take the opportunity to tease him every time before she would give up, I really don't know who this character is with, obviously her father and mother look at them are such gentle and humble people......

Xiao Ji was very depressed, but he didn't want to think about it, in addition to Huan Jiuyao's father and mother who abided by etiquette, he also had a master who was disrespectful to the old man......

"Alright, okay, don't make a fuss. You ask Ya Ya to make you a bowl of sobering soup to drink, so I can talk to you about some serious business! Xiao Ji finally waved his hand to give up, and his expression suddenly straightened.

"It's said that you can't call me 'Ya girl' anymore, how ugly it is, you don't know and think I'm a dumb person......" Chu Ya heard this and walked out while muttering in a low voice, obviously very dissatisfied with Old Man Xiao's words just now.

"Old man, what other serious things do you have to say? Come on, it's rare for me to see you in a serious situation...... Hahahaha......" Jiuyao stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Ji, and smiled nonchalantly.

"Oops!" Xiao Ji took down Jiu Yao's hand on his shoulder, turned his head to look at her, and his expression was very serious, which made Jiu Yao stunned for a moment, and immediately became serious.

Xiao Ji pondered for a moment before staring at her and asking, "If I tell you that in a few days, you will be going back to the capital, how will you stay?" Are you ready? ”

She looked at the master's eyes, and only felt as if everything she had painstakingly concealed in the past seven years was instantly hidden, and her heart suddenly rose, and it was very uncomfortable.

"Don't look at me like that, I ask you this because I know what you do and what you want to do, even from the beginning." Xiao Ji sighed, turned his hand away, and no longer looked at her expression.

"I can only tell you that it would not be an exaggeration if you were to regard my insistence on taking you as a fate, but you will understand the reason for it. You just need to know that although your master and I are not very kind-hearted people, but you, an apprentice, are now willing to accept it......

"Also, in your master and my life, maybe just you, an apprentice, you can't disgrace my reputation! I know that if you return to Beijing, it will not be as easy as it is now. You are stubborn, but don't be difficult for yourself, if you really can't go on, you can still come to the master......" His voice was not heavy, it was a familiar timbre that Jiu Yao had listened to for nearly ten years, but at this moment, every word was boiling hot, like hot wax, dripping on the tip of her heart, making her heart numb and her eyes sour......

"Master......" Her voice choked, but she didn't care at all. At this moment, there was only one thought left in her mind: God was kind to her after all, gave her such good parents, and even gave her such a good master......

"Silly boy, remember what I said. When I asked you to be an apprentice, in fact, I was a little reluctant to be a teacher, I was unrestrained and wanton for most of my life, but one day I was asked to do something. But now, I am very fortunate to have such an apprentice as you...... After you return to the capital, you have only one requirement for becoming a teacher - as long as you protect yourself! As she spoke, Xiao Ji grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and her pain was painful, but she didn't seem to realize it.

"Well, Jiuyao understands. In the future, when Jiu Yao finishes what he should do, he will take his father and mother back to the mountain and live a carefree life with his master......" Jiu Yao raised her rabbit eyes and smiled at Xiao Ji with a coquettish face.

Seeing this, Xiao Ji chuckled, gently took her into his arms, touched the top of her head, but his eyes looked at the night sky in the distance, which was very deep, and there seemed to be a lot of things hidden in it, but it seemed that there was nothing......

It took more than half a month when Jiuyao came, and now if you want to return to the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival, you naturally can't delay. It's just that she is reluctant in her heart, although she has only been in the mountains for three or four years in the past seven years, and she has been absent for at least half of the year, but after all, she has feelings. So he went to the bottom of the mountain again, said goodbye to Old Man Fang and a few children who used to play with him on weekdays, and asked for a few jars of good wine by the way.

The night before leaving, she instructed Chu Yun to make a lot of Xiao Ji's favorite dishes, and threatened to accompany Xiao Ji in advance for this Mid-Autumn Festival. Although Xiao Ji still looked smiling, as if he didn't care at all, but staring at Jiu Yao's busy figure all day long, his eyes were bright, and the vicissitudes that people couldn't easily read over the years seemed to have been suddenly erased, and the rest was just something that could be seen through at a glance...... Huan Jiuyao was still smiling heartlessly, but not sleeping well for days made her eyes more blue and black, but fortunately, there was fat powder to help her cover it.

In the end, none of them shed a single tear, and even Chu Ya, who has always been straightforward and doesn't know how to avoid it, smiled very naturally. It's like when the sun rises tomorrow, they will still greet each other and live separately as usual. It's like Jiu Yao said, sooner or later, they will come back one day to live such a carefree life together, and that will definitely come true.

A few days ago, she sent a letter back to the Prime Minister's Mansion saying that she would return to the capital in the near future, and also told her father and mother that she didn't need to bring someone to greet her. It's just that it's a long way away, and I haven't received a reply yet, but my father must already know. She thought of their happy appearance when she saw her father and mother, and she unconsciously wanted to laugh out loud, and even the reluctance to part was a little lighter, if Xiao Ji knew, she would definitely have to slap her beard and scold her for having no conscience. Finally, it's good to be reunited as a family again......
