Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Secret
"What did Sister see?"
ββ¦β¦ Answer. Feng Yan said softly.
About the Dryad, about Wei Xingzhen......
Feng Yan had an intuition, she was very close to this answer.
β¦β¦
When the three of them left the mausoleum and saw the daylight again, Xiao Qi briefly covered his eyes with his hands.
Birdsong came from the nearby trees, brilliant light sprinkled through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and everything was peaceful in the Liufu Garden near noon.
Xiao Qi clenched Feng Yan's sleeve tightly, everything he saw in the ground, looking back at this moment, people felt a kind of fear in hindsight.
"The rest is for Ah Yan to handle by herself." Old Madam Feng said softly, "There is just one thing you have to remember......
Feng Yan looked back at her aunt and waited earnestly for her next step.
"Don't let Your Majesty, wait too long."
"I understand." Feng Yan said softly, "I'll grasp the opportunity." β
Old Madam Feng nodded, "Then, my aunt is in the Six Fu Garden, waiting for your good news......" She turned her head and called in a low voice, "Agarwood-"
"Auntie wait!" Feng Yan said suddenly.
"Anything else?"
Feng Yan nodded, she lowered her head and took out a bag from her sleeve, "There is one thing, I want to ask you again......"
Her fingers quickly untied the knots on the brocade bag, and before Puyu was taken out, Old Madam Feng had already guessed what was in the brocade bag, only Xiao Qi stared curiously at the side.
Feng Yan said softly, "This piece of jade, why did you do it then-"
"Ah Yan just put it away." Before Feng Yan took out the jade, Old Madam Feng had already reached out and pressed the back of her hand, "No need to take it out." β
"What jade?" Xiao Qi asked, "Can I take a look?" β
The old man smiled, "When you get married, you will also have a piece." β
Feng Yan looked at the old man's expression and the peaceful aura on her body, and slowly put the bag into her sleeve.
"Jade, 'pre' also." The old man said in a low voice, "When it plays its role, then it's not too late for Ah Yan to come to me again." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. Feng Yan replied in a low voice.
Xiao Qi looked at his sister's sleeve and sighed softly.
- She's just curious, why doesn't my aunt let her see it?
The maidservant who was called agarwood slowly stepped forward at this time and nodded to Feng Yan and Xiao Qi.
The old man commanded in a low voice, "Take them out." β
"Yes."
"Is my aunt still going to stay in the mountains?" Xiao Qi asked, "How long are you going to recuperate this time?" β
"When this matter settles down, I'll go back." The old man replied with a smile.
Old Madam Feng stood in place, looking at the backs of Feng Yan and Xiao Qi leaving, Xiao Qi turned her head several times along the way, and each time she saw her aunt raise her hand and wave at her, as if to say "don't look back".
The stone path at your feet leads straight ahead, and at the end of the road there is a white jade stone tablet that looks like it is made of the same material as the one in the catacombs.
Xiao Qi saw from a distance that there were four big gilded characters on it, and when he approached, he saw clearly that it was written "Rivers and mountains bring strengthening".
After passing the stone stele, and then turning back, there is the word "Changling" in the strong font on it.
It turns out that the mausoleum belonging to the daughters of the Feng family also has a name - Changling, which is also very good.
"Sister, what does 'rivers and mountains lead to strength'?"
"Well, this is from the chapter in the history books that records the martyrdom of Emperor Sheng Yuan - 'Make the river like a belt, Daishan if sharp, the country is Yongning, and love and Miao descendants'.
"It literally means 'until the Luohe River is as thin as a strip of clothing, and the Daizong Mountain is as small as a whetstone,' which we use to describe a person's determination to never change even after turmoil."
Xiao Qi realized that it was another saying of "the mountains have no edges, and the heavens and the earth are together".
Agarwood took Xiao Qi and Feng Yan to the west gate of the Liufu Garden, and after seeing the two of them step out of the threshold of the gate, she immediately turned back to the journey.
Standing outside the door, Xiao Qi turned his head again and glanced at the quiet manor behind him for the last time.
In the midst of the mountains, there was a star that belonged to her, and a cemetery that was temporarily vacantβit was a strange feeling, as if a path had been paved in the dark, but she didn't know what lay ahead of her.
"Little Seven...... Do you feel sad? Feng Yan said softly.
"A little." Xiao Qifeng frowned, and then exhaled softly, "I just suddenly thought that one day in the future, Sister A and I will come back here again - at that time, we will all be gray-haired old ladies, just like aunts." β
Feng Yanwan, "Probably." β
"I don't like that cemetery," Xiao Qi said softly, "If I have a choice, I still want to be buried in the mountain, just any big tree underground, I will return this body to the land, so that the flowers and plants that grow in my area will bloom more prosperous-how good is this!" β
Speaking of this, Xiao Qi suddenly thought of something, "Ah...... But there are also disadvantages. β
"Huh?"
"Then you can't live with Sister A," Xiao Qi grabbed Feng Yan's arm, "If you bury yourself outside, you'll still be a little lonely, haha." β
Feng Yan looked at the road ahead, "I don't like that mausoleum either." β
Xiao Qi raised his head.
"So, before I die," Feng Yan's voice was low, "I won't let myself leave anything behind." β
Xiao Qi was stunned, "Sister, you-think farther than me!" β
Feng Yan laughed, she stretched out her little thumb towards her sister, "This idea is my secret, Xiao Qi don't tell anyone else, okay?" β
"Hahaha," Feng Xiaoqi also smiled and stretched out his little thumb, clasped tightly with Feng Yan's, "I won't say anything to anyone!" β
β¦β¦
"Celestial Master ββ!!" Xiao Qi's voice echoed in the valley, "We're here!! β
"You-βββ!! people"
Echoes echoed in the valley, repeatedly asking "what about people" and "what about people".
There was a sudden disturbance from the trees overhead, and many gravel rubbles fell against the mountain flowers, Feng Yan and Xiao Qi raised their heads and saw Wei Xingzhen and Du Weifeng falling from the sky.
The two of them landed on the ground one after another, then got up and patted the dust on their bodies, their clothes a little embarrassed by the falling branches.
"You guys......" Xiao Qi blinked, "Where did this come from?" β
"I took Master Wei to the top of the mountain to see the scenery for a while," Du Weifeng tore off the cobwebs covering his forehead, "I didn't pay attention to the time, and it was delayed." β
Wei Xingzhen walked to Feng Yan's side in a few steps, "It's over?" β
"Hmm." Feng Yan nodded.
Du Weifeng also looked at it in response, "Then Old Madam Feng should have told you everything about it." β
"Hmm."
"When will you do it?" Du Weifeng asked.
"Wait." Feng Yan replied.
"Wait?" Du mocked up and didn't understand, "How long will you wait?" Why wait? β
"It depends." Feng Yan laughed, "Because now, it's not the time." β
