Chapter Seventy-Three: Puyu
"Master, the carriage is ready, when will we leave?"
Wei Xingzhen held today's Di newspaper in one hand and a porridge bowl in the other, "Wait." ”
"Well, are we really not going up the mountain this time?"
"Well, He Gong and Di Yang also need people here." Wei Xingzhen glanced at it, "What's the matter, don't you want to go?" ”
"How can I ......," he laughed wryly, "I'm just afraid of my wife...... Think of me, noisy. There's one by my side, and I can talk to him if I have something to say. ”
Wei Xingzhen glanced up at the daylight outside, and it seemed that the hour had passed—Feng Yan hadn't come out yet.
He was a little strange, there was a mountain residence of the Feng family on Daizong Mountain, and Ah Yan needed to bring very few things every time she went out, if she packed her luggage, she wouldn't pack it for so long.
Wei Xingzhen put down the newspaper, "You go outside and wait, I'll go back to the small building and have a look." ”
"Huh!"
……
On the second floor of the small building, Feng Yan was rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for things.
Her body was still a little weak, and every time she turned out a cupboard, she had to rest for a while.
"Ah Yan?" Wei Xingzhen's voice came from downstairs, "Are you there?" ”
"Yes." Feng Yan replied in a low voice.
"Can you come up?"
She sighed, "No, it's too messy. ”
Feng Yan sat on the ground a little dejected—the ground around her was filled with large and small boxes and brocade boxes, but none of them contained what she wanted.
Wei Xingzhen stood at the staircase on the first floor and looked up, "What is Ah Yan looking for?" ”
"A stone." Feng Yan said softly.
"Stones?"
Feng Yan nodded—it was the piece of jade that her aunt secretly stuffed in her hand on the day of her wedding.
Just this time she went to Daizong Mountain, and she thought that she could take it to visit her aunt in the depths of the mountains and forests, and ask her about the mystery of this stone.
However, only a few days have passed...... She had forgotten where she had put her things.
"Is there anything under the closet?"
"Flipped, no."
"The foot of the bed?"
"Nope."
"On top of the bookshelf?"
"......" Feng Yan continued to shake her head—these were all places where she would put some small objects on weekdays, but she had already rummaged through them just now.
"Behind the mirror?"
Feng Yan was stunned, a light flashed in her eyes, she immediately got up and walked towards the dresser, reaching out to grope behind the frame of the bronze mirror.
"Ah," Feng Yan shouted softly, "There it is!" ”
Wei Xingzhen: This is really ...... God.
When she withdrew her hand, Feng Yan had an extra wooden box in her hand. When the wooden box was opened, the piece of jade was lying quietly inside.
Wei Xingzhen's voice came from downstairs again, "How long will it take for Ah Yan?" ”
However, at this moment, it was difficult for Feng Yan's gaze to take his eyes off the jade in his hand.
She frowned slightly.
Is it a delusion?
Feng Yan's fingertips gently rubbed the raised horizontal edges on the jade, its texture was still very rough, and the whole stone body was glowing with a patina-like turquoise.
However, Feng Yan faintly felt that this stone seemed to be better than when her aunt handed it to her that day...... Warmed up a little.
"Ah Yan?"
"Yes," Feng Yan came back to her senses, "I'll be fine soon." ”
……
When Feng Yan changed her clothes and went downstairs, she saw Wei Xingzhen sitting in the hall on the first floor, wiping her sword.
Wei Xingzhen had gauze and deerskin stained with sword oil in her hand - it seemed that Wei Xingzhen was not idle during the time she was waiting for her.
Feng Yan walked over to Wei Xingzhen and sat down, and said softly, "Let Lord Wei wait for a long time." ”
"It's fine."
Wei Xingzhen held the cotton cloth and wiped the sword back and forth - this was done to generate warmth on the sword body and remove impurities from the blade, which was the last step in caring for the blade.
He was doing the final wiping, and Feng Yan leaned over to pack up the things next to him.
She folded the gauze and deerskin and put them aside in the dirty clothes basket, and said softly, "This is Lord Wei's sword?" ”
"Well, I thought that since I was going into the mountains, I might as well take them with me."
"This sword doesn't look mundane, does it have a name?"
"Counselor, that's what the swordsmith said." Wei Xingzhen put down the cotton cloth and took a closer look at the long sword in her hand, "What kind of stone was Ah Yan looking for just now, why did you look for it for so long?" ”
Feng Yanwan, "Oh, it's a gift from my aunt. ”
Hearing the word "aunt", Wei Xingzhen stopped the movement in her hand with some concern, "...... Can I take a look. ”
"Absolutely."
Feng Yan took off the brocade bag in her sleeve and handed it to Wei Xingzhen's hand.
From the time he saw the size of this bag, Wei Xingzhen had an ominous premonition in his heart, he took the stone out of the bag with a very light movement, and then looked at his palm with complicated eyes.
"What's wrong with Lord Wei, do you recognize this jade?"
Wei Xingzhen shook her head, and quickly put the things back in the bag and returned them to Feng Yan.
"It's quite a beautiful stone," Wei Xingzhen said in a low voice, "When you come back, can Ah Yan put it on the first floor?" ”
Feng Yan glanced at Wei Xingzhen with some surprise and said with a smile, "...... If Lord Wei likes it, it's okay to give it to you when I come back. ”
Wei Xingzhen stood up, he put his sword into the sheath, and then stretched out his hand towards Feng Yan, "Let's go." ”
"Hmm."
……
In the Feng Mansion, the Li family waited a little anxiously, until the people spread the word that the carriage of the Wei Mansion was coming this way, so she immediately got up and walked towards the gate.
Feng Yuandao didn't react for a moment, and didn't chase after his wife until he walked out more than ten steps away.
Feng Yan just walked through the courtyard at the door, and saw her father and mother walking briskly towards this side, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately lifted her skirt and stepped forward quickly.
This meeting made both Li and Feng Yan a little sad.
She and her mother went to the garden alone to chat, while Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yuandao went to the guest house to drink tea.
Li Shi has been visibly haggard with the naked eye in the past two days, where can a person withstand chanting all night when she is middle-aged, fortunately, she has always been physically tough, although she has been so nonsense all night, but now except for some headaches and nausea, there is nothing serious.
Early this morning, the Heavenly Family specially issued an edict to Feng's Mansion, saying that Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yan and his wife were going to pray for His Majesty to go to Daizong Mountain next, and they might have to go for half a month.
Li Shi is really puzzled in his heart - Yan'er is also a minor illness, how can there be a reason to go up the mountain at this time?
What's more, the recent attack on people by wild spirits has been so uproarious.
Feng Yan could only reassure her, this time it was not only Wei Xingzhen who went up the mountain together, but Du Mock Feng and Du Tianshi also walked together.
Li Shi was a little relieved at this time.
As he was talking, a green leaf floated into Feng Yan's cup, Feng Yan skimmed it with a bamboo stick, and after a while, another leaf floated in, which happened to fall on Feng Yan's cup.
"I was thinking that my mother would be worried about me, so I had to come back before I left." Feng Yan said softly, "This time I went up the mountain, I still want to see my aunt again, can my mother help me send a letter to my aunt in a while?" ”
"That's natural." Li Shi wiped the corners of his eyes, "I also want your ancestors and grandchildren to have a good chat, there are some things that the old lady won't tell me, but she won't hide it from you...... Have lunch at home before leaving? ”
Feng Yan smiled, "Okay, I'm a little tired from sitting here, I want to go back to my own yard to rest for a while." ”
Li nodded, and after sending Feng Yan back to the house, he immediately turned around and went to arrange a lunch banquet.
"What's going on?" Feng Yan walked under the locust tree in the courtyard, "It's rare to see you urging me to be in such a hurry......"
A small head suddenly came out of the branches and leaves of the old acacia melon, and Huaiqing cried with a sad face, "Sister Yan save me!" ”
