Chapter 455: Goodbye Old Friend
When Jian Mingyue and the three daughters came to the gate of Pegasus Ranch, they found that the city tower was full of strong men, all of them were strong and full of energy, patrolling back and forth with various weapons. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info When he found Jian Mingyue and them, even though they were only three women, they were still on guard against the enemy.
Since it was Lu Miaozi who invited Jian Mingyue to help, Jian Mingyue did not have such a thing as an invitation. As for the identity of the newspaper, with their situation in Luoyang, it is estimated that they will not be warmly received here, and they will even be turned away if they don't get it. Therefore, when the people on the city tower asked about their identities, Jian Mingyue twitched her head and said, "Tell Shang Xiuxun, just say that her stepmother came to see her." ”
Shang Xiuxun's mother has long since died, which is known to everyone in Pegasus Ranch, but not many people know who Shang Xiuxun's father is, at least these little minions guarding the door don't know. Now I heard that someone claimed to be the stepmother of their owner, and the ranch disciple who had always respected Shang Xiuxun very much was immediately furious, and he wanted to teach Jian Mingyue a lesson. Jian Mingyue is what they can teach, several arrows shot stopped in front of her, as if they were being grasped by an invisible hand, which made the ranch disciples shocked, and they didn't dare to do it again, so they hurriedly reported to Shang Xiuxun.
Shang Xiuxun heard that someone claimed to be her stepmother, and she was also furious, and then heard that this person's martial arts were incredibly high, so she calmed down, and after a little silence, she remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Come on, open the door and welcome the distinguished guests!" ”
Hearing Shang Xiuxun's instructions, the chief housekeeper Shang Zhen, the archdeacon Liang Zhi, the second deacon Liu Zongdao, the third deacon Tao Shusheng, the fourth deacon Wu Zhaoru and others all arrived and followed together. It's just that they didn't know who was greeting, and no matter how they looked at Shang Xiuxun's gloomy face, they didn't dare to ask, so they could only follow silently. When he got out of the gate and saw the three girls in front of the door, including the pillow held by Su Su in his arms, Shang Zhen blurted out: "Cat bear? Concise Moon! ”
The Jianghu people who keep a cat and bear as a pet only have Jian Mingyue. And the cat bear is not yet famous in this era, and the name "cat bear" is passed from Jian Mingyue's mouth. Therefore, the cat bear has become the logo of Jian Mingyue, as long as you have heard of Jian Mingyue, you can recognize it at a glance.
Shang Xiuxun turned his head and glared at Shang Zhen, Shang Zhen was in awe of the young beauty owner, and he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak. Shang Xiuxun saluted and said: "Fairy Jian is here, Xiuxun has missed the distance, please forgive me." ”
Jian Mingyue said with a smile: "Good daughters don't have to be polite, they are all their own family, what's so polite?" Let's go, let's go inside. ”
Shang Xiuxun stood still and didn't move, his face became more and more cold, and said, "Fairy Jane, don't be funny, I don't dare to be a daughter or something." ”
Jian Mingyue said: "What is there not to do? Between me and your father or the matchmaker you made, why do you turn your face and don't recognize people? It's not that I'm talking about you, after all, you are father and daughter, what kind of feud can't be solved after so many years? As soon as your father heard that the Four Great Kou were coming to invade the ranch, he wrote to ask me to help you, which shows that he still cares about you. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the four big cowards are just four bedbugs. ”
Shang Xiuxun was furious when he was teased, but he didn't dare to speak ill of him. When she first saw Jian Mingyue in Lu Miaozi's comfort nest, she dared to make her look at her, because she didn't know how powerful Jian Mingyue was. Now Jian Mingyue's reputation has spread all over the world, and she is still above the three great grandmasters, as the master of a game, it would be too immature to show her face if she still played a little temper. Therefore, she could only endure it and said, "Fairy Jane, please go to the living room to serve tea." ”
Jian Mingyue saw that Shang Xiuxun might really turn his face if he teased him again, so he haha and entered the Pegasus Ranch with everyone. After sitting down in the living room, Shang Xiuxun still wanted to say a few polite words, but somehow, she always felt very uncomfortable in front of Jian Mingyue. In desperation, she simply didn't talk deeply, and before she finished drinking a cup of tea, she took her to Lu Miaozi's residence in Houshan and asked Lu Miaozi to entertain her.
After Shang Xiuxun left, Lu Miaozi smiled bitterly: "Why did you provoke her?" Her face was particularly ugly today. ”
Jian Mingyue shrugged and didn't answer, just introduced Su Su and Shen Luoyan to him. Lu Miaozi looked at the two girls and said, "Shen Luoyan was previously a military advisor under Li Mi of the Wagang Army, with extraordinary wisdom and good martial arts, I know this. But it's been a long time since Su Su was accepted as a disciple by you, right? The two boys you didn't confiscate as disciples have already made a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes, why is Su Su's martial arts still so low? It's not like yours! ”
Jian Mingyue said helplessly: "Su Su learned martial arts too late, and she doesn't have a heart for martial arts, if you want to teach her, of course it will take more time." ”
Su Su bowed her head in shame and said, "The disciple has disappointed the master. ”
Jian Mingyue waved her hand and said, "Your nature is like this, no one can force it." When I took you as an apprentice, I knew that you were this character, but I still accepted you, which means that I don't care about this, and you don't have to have any psychological burden. ”
Lu Miaozi smiled and said: "Forget it, your apprentice has your own plans, and I won't ask more." Do you still have a peach? I haven't eaten it in a long time, so take two out and try it. After eating the fairy peach, I have good news for you. ”
Jian Mingyue took out a peach and threw it to him, and gave Su Su and Shen Luoyan one each, and then said, "What good news can you tell me?" Are you trying to say that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are here? If that's the case, it doesn't need to be said. ”
Lu Miaozi was stunned and said, "You already knew?" They only came yesterday, how could you possibly know? Can you really pinch your fingers? ”
Jian Mingyue said lightly: "Is it strange that I can calculate the technique?" This should be expected by you, right? ”
Lu Miaozi shook his head with a smile and said, "Forget it, as long as you can eat peaches." Anyway, your skills are endless, and I'm no longer surprised. ”
Su Su and Shen Luoyan have also eaten fairy peaches a few times, as long as they taste the taste of fairy peaches, anyone will have endless aftertaste. Now that there were peaches to eat, the two of them immediately picked them up and nibbled on them with joy. But when the pillow saw that they all had something to eat, it didn't have it, so he was suddenly unhappy, and hugged Jian Mingyue's arm and shook it. It wasn't until Jian Mingyue also gave it one that it stopped being coquettish and ran to the side to enjoy Duoji.
Lu Miaozi saw that the pillow was so smart, and said in amazement: "Even your pet is so supernatural, it's not an exaggeration to call you a strange person." ”
Jian Mingyue laughed, slightly meaningful. The reason why the pillow is so smart and talent is only a small part of the reason, most of the reason is because of her master. If it weren't for the game system, the pillow would never have behaved like this.
After chatting and laughing in the comfort nest for most of the day, in the evening, Shang Xiuxun still sent a maid named Xiaojuan to invite Jian Mingyue, saying that a distinguished guest from the north had arrived, and everyone happened to meet together. So Jian Mingyue took Su Su and Shen Luoyan to follow Xiaojuan to the front hall.
The so-called distinguished guest from the north is Li Xiuning, the eldest lady of Li Valve. But now that Li Yuan has rebelled, although Li Yuan still offers Yang Guang's grandson to the throne, everyone understands that the actual emperor is Li Yuan himself. Therefore, Li Xiuning is also called a princess, and even Li Xiuning herself agreed unceremoniously.
However, even if Li Xiuning was a real princess, she didn't dare to slack off in front of Jian Mingyue, and her attitude was very polite. Jian Mingyue glanced at Li Xiuning a few times and found that she was indeed good-looking, and her temperament was even better, and she was worthy of being a noble girl educated by a big family. No wonder Kou Zhong was sad for her in the original plot. Fortunately, because of Jian Mingyue's intervention, Kou Zhong should not have a chance to meet Li Xiuning, so he was spared this emotional injury.
After everyone was seated, Shang Xiuxun ordered the food to be served. The dishes brought by the maids were indeed smoked fish and crispy. Jian Mingyue tasted it and thought it was pretty good, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, the two kids, still had a bit of talent as cooks.
Even Jian Mingyue, a grandmaster-level chef, thought it was good when she ate it, and Li Xiuning and the others thought it was even more delicious. According to the rules, if the guest is very satisfied with the food, the chef will generally be summoned to ask about the dish, which is the best compliment to the host's family. So Li Xiuning ate such a delicious thing, so it was natural for Shang Xiuxun to invite the cook up.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and it was the cook who had arrived. It's just that the footsteps of two of them are similar to ordinary people at first glance, but Jian Mingyue can hear it, compared to others, they are more powerful and calm, but they cover it up very well, if it weren't for Jian Mingyue's level, they really can't hear it.
Just by virtue of their ability to cover up their footsteps to this point, Jian Mingyue knew that the martial arts of these two boys had really improved greatly. It's just that when the two of them arrived at the door, they suddenly stopped, and then turned around to run. After being stopped by Sister Fu, she actually lied that they were nervously diarrhea and begged not to go in to offer ugliness.
Of course, no one can deceive such outrageous lies, and Sister Fu won't let them go. They were pulling and pulling at the door, and the movement was inevitably louder, which alarmed the people in the house, Shang Xiuxun knew that it was them when he heard it, and said, "Xiao Ning, Xiao Jing, what are you two doing?" Don't come and meet your guests yet. Princess Xiuning admires the smoked fish you make, and she wants to worship you as a master. ”
Being called by Shang Xiuxun, the two of them could no longer dodge, so they could only walk in around the screen in front of the door. When Li Xiuning saw them, he exclaimed in surprise. This made Jian Mingyue a little surprised, what do you mean? Does Li Xiuning really know them? Looking at Kou Zhong again, he really had an expression of eagerness to get into the cracks in the ground, and no one would believe it if he said that he was not tired.
Li Xiuning's exclamation attracted the attention of others, and she had no choice but to explain indiscriminately: "Please forgive Xiuning for losing her manners, because she didn't expect the two masters to be so young. ”
This lie is not much different from what Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling just said about having diarrhea, and no one can deceive the level. However, Li Xiuning's identity is different, since she is unwilling to say it, it is difficult for others to force her, so she can only pretend to believe it.
