"Wang ......" Yuan Hong was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly woken up by the sound of a dog barking. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched unconsciously, and found that the scorching light had been cast through the window that was clinging to the bed. Thinking that it was not a glamorous thing to sleep in the first place, he immediately jumped out of bed, dressed neatly, and walked out of the room.

After stopping in the courtyard, Yuan Hong realized that he lived in the west wing, next to the west gate. Just as he was about to go to the east wing to look for Liang Yun'er, he happened to meet her who had returned from the west gate. Looking at the shovel in her hand, coupled with her sad expression, Yuan Hong had probably guessed that she must have gone to bury the ashes of her sixth son.

Liang Yun'er put the shovel into the warehouse next to her and walked out again. She took Yuan Hong's hand, stretched her dusty willow eyebrows, and said softly: "Brother Liuzi has always treated me like a sister, and I have always treated him as a brother." I am very sad to lose this brother. But I don't want your mood to be affected by me. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Hong smiled nonchalantly: "Without 'brother', don't you still have a brother?" You say you're not happy, then I'll make you happy." Yesterday, I heard Shibo say that there is a lotus lake in the south, the water is clear and the flowers are mellow, and the wanderers should not use bottles when they are drunk. It's early summer, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom, so it's better for the two of us to go down the waves together. ”

As soon as Yuan Hong's words fell, Liang Yun'er pinched her neckline in surprise, and hurriedly said, "Swinging? This is my door, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Hong almost didn't spew out bile, and forcibly said seriously: "When I say prodigal, I mean wandering." A word can have many meanings, and you only know one and you don't know the other. See, that's the consequence of not paying attention in class. ”

Liang Yun'er's cherry mouth pouted, and she pretended to be squeamish: "I don't care, I have you as a companion to help me interpret, hehe...... Anyway, let's go over and play. I haven't rowed in a long time and I miss that feeling. ”

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at Chengnan Lake. At this time, the white clouds suddenly gathered, the wind was smooth, and flocks of partridge birds flew all over the sky, skimming the lake from time to time, making a pleasant chirping, as if teasing the brothers and sisters in the cruise ship, and as if sending heartfelt blessings to them.

Looking at the sparkling lake in the distance, Liang Yun'er put her hands to her mouth and couldn't help shouting: "Thank you bad old man, I'm in a much better mood now!"

Seeing this, Yuan Hong also put his hands around his mouth and shouted, "May my good granddaughter always be happy." Happiness will always be a little more than mine!"

Liang Yun'er twisted her neck to Yuan Hong beside her in surprise, blinked her big watery eyes, and asked, "Why is it just a little more?"

Tapping the tip of her nose with his finger, Yuan Hong said with a wicked smile: "Just a little more, it means that this is the result of the final neutralization of the two of us." If it's a lot more, isn't it because we're always inseparable?"

"Zhonghe ......" Liang Yun'er repeated Yuan Hong's words, and suddenly blushed, and said for a while: "Senior brother, do you think about this kind of thing every day?"

Yuan Hong hugged his arms, deliberately put on a proud demeanor, wrinkled his nose and said, "It's not, occasionally." Don't you notice that over the years, we're a little different?"

Hearing this, Liang Yun'er lowered her head, looked at the rolling waves, and did not speak again, only to see the shyness and tranquility unique to her face.

Immersed in the cool breeze, Yuan Hong did not speak again. He accidentally touched the inner pocket of his clothes, and then he remembered the darkiron token in his arms, and he almost forgot to inquire about the token in the city.

"Senior brother, you were injured that night, I went to visit you, do you remember the promise you made to me?" Liang Yun'er was the first to break the silence. At this moment, her expression is extremely serious.

"Promise?" Yuan Hong secretly reminisced for a while, finally picked up his memory, and said unhurriedly: "Of course I do." You want me to pass the academy exam smoothly, and then enter the gate sect, learn profoundly, and be the guardian of your Liang family's silver casting division, I swear to take it. Unfortunately, I messed up the big test. What's the matter, did your father find out about this and express his objections, or did you lose faith in me alone?"

Shaking her head slightly, Liang Yun'er's expression was a little solemn: "I did tell my father about your recent situation, I hope he can help you." Dad said that if you don't have a murder case on your body, he can use his connections in Dongtu Wujizhuang or Southern Xinjiang Chengtianzong to let you enter the school without examination. But ......"

Before Liang Yun'er finished speaking, Yuan Hong raised his voice slightly and replied: "You don't need to say it, but I understand what he means." He is afraid that my case will be big, and he will have something to do with your family, which will affect the reputation of your Liang family. The most reasonable thing to do is to draw a knife and cut off the water, so that you don't get too close to me. ”

At this time, Liang Yun'er's eyes were gradually rosy, she adjusted her emotions, and said in a harmonious voice: "Dad didn't give him a clear attitude, through his words and expression, I guess he is looking at the will of God." ”

Yuan Hong stretched out his hand to hold her cheek, and comforted her in turn: "Yun'er, don't be sad, don't worry, I've always been lucky, and I believe that everything will develop in a good direction." To be honest, I never thought of using your Liang family's connections to realize my dreams. Why bury the bones, why do you need to bury the mulberry ground, and settle down on your own Tianluo Mountain. As long as Sirius still hangs overhead, under its light, there is a mountain of Sirius that nourishes dreams. ”

Liang Yun'er obviously understood what he said, and said with concern: "Senior brother, are you planning to travel far away?"

Glancing at her affectionately, Yuan Hong said resolutely: "That's right, I came to Changyang City just to escort you for a ride, and by the way, I will inquire about the clues about the Holy Lord's order." When I find out the news, the purpose of coming here will be all achieved, and there is no need to stay by the Gu family's lair anymore. ”

Liang Yun'er pursed her naturally ruddy little mouth, muttered for a long time, and suddenly said: "As long as you don't dislike me for dragging your feet, no matter where you are going to go, I am willing to join you." Even if I go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I am willing to face it together. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Hong's heart swelled with heat, and tears almost burst out of his eyes, but after all, he endured it. He leaned Liang Yun'er's head on his shoulder, stroked the hair behind her head with one hand, and whispered: "Silly girl, how can I be willing to lead you into a desperate situation! I just want to find the whereabouts of my father's mother, and I don't plan to fight with anyone desperately." In this world, not everything can be solved by brute force, after all, the energy of our ordinary people is still too small. In front of all uncertainties, grasp the certain ones, and then wait for the opportunity to move, with a small broad, only in this way can we be invincible. ”

Hearing Yuan Hong say this, Liang Yun'er straightened up and said with a smile: "Senior brother is so reasonable, probably this is called step by step," As she spoke, Liang Yun'er looked up at the sky and muttered: "I see that the white clouds are getting thinner and thinner, and they will definitely get hot later." Let's hurry up and play and go back early. ”

With the rhythm of the sculls, the warbler is dancing in the song and the swallow is dancing, and the leaping youth symphony echoes in the lake. It's been a long time since the two of them felt so happy as they do today. Unconsciously, half an hour has passed, and the clouds have disappeared at this time, which makes people feel uncomfortable. So, the two left the ship and walked back north.

Back in the Liang Mansion, the first thing Yuan Hong did was to use the knife on the rhubarb. After releasing the blood from the two wine cups, Liang Yun'er used the same herb that helped Yuan Hong stop the bleeding last time to stop the rhubarb in time. After a cup, Yuan Hong was straight and refreshing, but the taste was slightly fishy. He asked Liang Yun'er to try it too, but Liang Yun'er was resolutely unwilling.

After lunch, Liang Yun'er led Yuan Hong to visit the silver casting workshop one mile away in the north of Liang Mansion. The workshop covers a huge area, comparable to the scale of the Liang Mansion. The workshop was guarded both inside and outside, all personally appointed by the Archon of the Holy City. As for the Liang family, there are five silver casting divisions in the Shengying Continent, which are located in five directions, east, west, north, south, and middle. And the one in front of me is the only one in the southern land belt.

Walking into the silver casting room, Yuan Hong felt extremely hot, and despite the ventilation and cooling measures, the temperature was still as high as forty or fifty degrees. Coupled with the fact that the air is mixed with dust, it is not very pleasant to stay inside. After briefly seeing a few glances at the silver casting mold, Yuan Hongsu pulled Liang Yun'er out in defeat.

Yuan Hong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, turned to Liang Yun'er and asked, "Is this silver casting division government-run?"

Liang Yun'er poked her chin lightly with her green and jade fingers, thought about it slightly, and responded: "It should be counted, but not all." ”

Yuan Hong was a little puzzled: "Oh, why do you say that?"

Blinking, Liang Yun'er said slowly: "I heard my father say that when the workshop was built, our Liang family also invested money, which should be a matter of my grandfather's generation." There are five silver foundries in the world, but each has a different casting process. In my great-grandfather's generation, he once displayed the ancestral art "Chengtian Kaiwu", which had been collected for many years, which recorded in detail the most advanced silver casting technology, which was the main reason why the official family and my Liang family jointly organized it. In other words, my family has invested both money and technology. ”

Yuan Hong was stunned for a while, and then asked, "If this is the case, your Liang family will always take some benefits, right?"

Nodding slightly, Liang Yun'er said unhurriedly: "After deducting all the operating costs, my family can get an additional 10% of the cast silver, and all the cast silver is engraved with the word Liang." ”

Through repeated questions and answers, Yuan Hong learned that inside and outside Changyang, there are countless people who are thinking about the Liang family's calculations and thinking about this huge piece of fat. Even within the Liang family in the city, there are many people who are thinking about the dove occupying the magpie's nest. It's a pity that the successive generations of their Liang family, who are responsible for inheriting the Casting Silver Division, do not like to practice martial arts, but are addicted to writing books and sayings, and have nothing to do with craftsmanship, including Liang Yun'er's father.

In addition, there are some particularities about the inheritance of the Liang family's silver casting division. It only passes on the long house and not the young son, and only the male heir and not the female baby. In this regard, Yuan Hong couldn't help but be curious: "As far as I know, in your generation, there is no male heir in your family, isn't this a bad thing? ”

Liang Yun'er first sneered, and then immediately retracted her smile, her expression was extremely unnatural: "I actually had an older brother, but he was ...... Hey, don't mention him, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Even if there is no male heir, there is no way. According to the ancestral teachings, in the absence of a male heir, the family can recruit a son-in-law, but I need to change my surname to Liang, and the doll born must also follow the surname Liang. After speaking, she also glanced at Yuan Hong.

Hearing this, Yuan Hong had a pimple on his head. In silence, he neither seconded nor objected. For him, the most important thing at the moment is his own family's business. So, he hurried back to Liang's house, took out the Holy Lord Decree in front of Liang's father, and asked him about the origin of this token.

After Father Liang locked his eyebrows, he told him that the token came from the holy city of Yong'an. And the consul in the city of Yong'an is the holy lord. It's just that the people rarely call him the Holy Lord, and most call him the Holy King.

At this moment, Yuan Hong finally found the direction in his heart. Just as he was pondering, suddenly, there was a sudden sound on the roof, and the sound was fleeting......
