Volume 1 Crossing Chapter 16 Gift-giving
Lan Peng heard Lan Ping say that there was an unwritten rule in the green world, and he was confused for a while: "What rule?" ”
Lan Ping knew that Lan Peng had really forgotten, otherwise he wouldn't have thought that Chi Xin would be able to take a fancy to his daughter.
"That rule is that cultivators are not allowed to intermarry with non-cultivators, and if cultivators marry with non-cultivators, their offspring will become ordinary people and have no cultivation ability."
Being reminded by Lan Ping like this, Lan Peng remembered.
There is indeed such a regulation in the green world, although it has not been promulgated, but everyone knows it.
In the entire Blue World, only the Orange Clan and the Chi Clan have cultivation talent and can cultivate the Yuan. Moreover, the yellow, green, blue, and purple clans did not have any cultivation talent, and there were also people who were dissatisfied in the past and tried to cultivate the Yuan, but they all ended in failure, and after that, these clans also broke off that kind of thought.
And those who have a cultivation yuan can't intermarry with ordinary people, just because once they intermarry with ordinary people, their descendants will lose their cultivation talent and become ordinary people. Therefore, those who have Xiuyuan, in order to be able to retain their talents, will put an end to intermarriage with ordinary people. Gradually, this rule was formed.
Thinking of this, Lan Peng fell into deep thought, what a good opportunity, but it couldn't be used.
"Then forget it, don't worry about them, let them go!"
He is also selfish in saying this, even if there is that regulation, if Chi Xin has a crush on which one, he has to take it away? Therefore, Lan Peng is also silently supporting his daughter by doing this.
After following Lan Peng for so many years, how could Lan Ping not understand Lan Peng's thoughts, but after all, this is the master's housework, and how can he have the right to say more as a subordinate. I'm afraid that after my own lady is moved, she will be hurt again.
Sighing inwardly, Lan Ping retreated.
In Agarwood Garden, Qing Wen'er is dressed in an azure Luo skirt, covered with a moon-white gauze robe, and wearing a white hosta, which is simple and elegant.
Lan Cui cleaned up for Qing Wen'er, and helped Qing Wen'er to the Snow Garden.
In the snow garden, Lan Lingxue was idle, fiddling with a few pots of peonies newly sent from the yard.
Qing Wen'er smiled when she saw this, and walked over to take the scissors in Lan Lingxue's hand.
"You're cutting the flowers, you're cutting them."
Seeing that it was Qing Wen'er who took her scissors, Lan Lingxue walked to the side of the gazebo and sat down, and said listlessly: "Isn't this idle and boring, how did my mother think of coming to Xue'er today, is there anything fun?" ”
Qing Wen'er walked over and sat down beside Lan Lingxue: "It's okay, mother can't come to see you?" Go change your clothes, let's go to your grandmother's. ”
"To Grandmother? But what's wrong with my grandmother? Lan Lingxue asked curiously, she didn't hear her grandmother talk about it when she went to ask for peace in the morning.
"If you go, you'll know, your grandmother just sent a message." Qing Wen'er picked up Lan Lingxue and went to the house to let the girl clean up for her.
After a while, the girl cleaned up for Lan Lingxue, and saw a girl in a light purple dress, her hair pulled up at will, and a white hairpin in her hair, slowly got up, walked to Qing Wen'er's side, and took Qing Wen'er's arm and went out.
Cishoutang, Old Madam Lan saw that Qingwen'er and Lan Lingxue came over, and hurriedly asked someone to serve them refreshments.
"Mother!"
"Grandmother!"
The two of them saluted Mrs. Lan in turn.
Old Madam Lan asked them to get up and sit down, and Qing Wen'er sat on the side. And Lan Lingxue ran directly to Mrs. Lan and sat down.
"Cher is so beautiful today!" Old Madam Lan couldn't help but praise Lan Lingxue when she looked at her.
"When is Cher not looking good? With such a big beauty as my grandmother here, can Cher not look good? Because of her grandmother's favor, Lan Lingxue was not restrained at all in front of Old Madam Lan, and she was still so lively.
Listening to Lan Lingxue's words, Old Madam Lan couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and said straight to Qing Wen'er: "Look at how good this girl is." ”
He took Lan Lingxue's hand again and said, "Grandmother is old, Xue'er has grown up, we should also choose a suitable in-law for Xue'er." ”
"Grandmother, why are you mentioning this again?" Lan Lingxue had a hint of shyness on her face, no matter how lively she was, after all, she was still a girl who had not yet left the cabinet, and she would always be embarrassed about this kind of thing.
"Why can't you mention it? In ten days, it will be Xue'er's ceremony, and after the ceremony, grandmother will give Xue'er a good husband. The more shy Lan Lingxue was, the more Old Madam Lan deliberately teased her.
"Grandmother!" Lan Lingxue was so embarrassed that she almost rushed out of the door.
Seeing that Lan Lingxue was really shy, Old Madam Lan didn't continue to speak.
"What do Cher and Luli want? Grandmother gave it to you. ”
Seeing that her grandmother changed her words, Lan Lingxue regained her expression: "Grandmother likes whatever Xue'er gives." On weekdays, my grandmother gave Xue'er a lot of things, and Xue'er didn't lack anything. ”
Old Madam Lan smiled and said, "You girl is quite content. ”
After talking to her grandmother, Lan Lingxue was excused by Mrs. Lan.
Qing Wen'er saw that Lan Lingxue was gone, and only her henchmen were left in the house, so she said: "Mother doesn't know, a few days ago, Yu'er took Xue'er to the gentleman in the other courtyard, and yesterday Xue'er told me that Yu'er was afraid that she had taken a fancy to the gentleman in the other courtyard." ”
"Oh, is there such a thing? She has a good eye, but she doesn't see if people will take a fancy to her. Although I saw the side of the other courtyard, I could see that that person was not an ordinary person, and I am afraid that even our Xue'er may not be worthy of the master. ”
As soon as Old Madam Lan heard Qing Wen'er say, her expression immediately turned cold. Where is this still the kind woman who laughed with Lan Lingxue just now, and her own majesty was unconsciously revealed.
It's not that she belittles her beloved granddaughter, but just by looking at her son's respect for her, she knows that his status is definitely not low.
"Mother is exactly what she said, and my daughter-in-law thinks so too, so I have told Xue'er not to let her go again." Qing Wen'er lowered her head slightly, her attitude was very respectful, and she was not angry because of what Old Madam Lan had just said.
"Well, this time, I will take advantage of the ceremony to choose a family affair for Xue'er, but I can't wronged Xue'er." As soon as she said Lan Lingxue, Old Madam Lan smiled kindly.
Since that day Lan Chunyu said that Lan Lingxue's gift was coming, Chi Xin thought about what gift to give Lan Lingxue.
Two days passed, Chi Xin finally thought of it, so he asked Lan Lingxue to invite her, saying that he was waiting for her in the peach blossom forest.
And after the next person notified Lan Lingxue, Lan Chunyu soon also knew. She secretly followed behind Lan Lingxue, hiding behind the rockery near the peach blossom forest, waiting for Chixin to give Lan Lingxue something, she had evidence to think about her father's complaint, saying that they were privately taught and accepted.
When Lan Lingxue arrived at the Peach Blossom Forest, Chi Xin was already waiting there, and Lan Lingxue walked over and gave a salute.
"What did Mr. call Cher to do?"
Chi Xin took out a mahogany box and put it on the table, the box was very simple, and the box surface was simply engraved with plum blossom patterns. Chi Xin motioned for Lan Lingxue to open.
She glanced at Chi Xin strangely and opened the box curiously.
As the mahogany box opened little by little, a faint sandalwood came out of the box, and the smell was refreshing. When the lid of the box was fully opened, I saw an oval object lying quietly in the box, with eight small round holes on it, and a large round hole at one end. Pale blue jade, faintly visible through the mahogany at the bottom of the box.
Looking up at Chi Xin, Lan Lingxue Xing's eyes were wide open, her eyes flickering, full of questions.
"You pick it up and take a look." Chi Xin didn't explain to Lan Lingxue, but asked her to look at things first.
Lan Lingxue picked it up carefully, the thing was not big, only the size of a palm, it was very delicate. The jade texture also feels good, and it is cool in the hand.
Seeing that Lan Lingxue liked it very much, Chi Xin explained to her: "This is Xun, I heard that it will be your gift in a few days, and I can barely count you as a teacher, so I will give you a gift." ”
Lan Lingxue really liked this Xun very much, and couldn't hide her surprise, and asked Chi Xin: "But Xue'er can't blow this!" ”
She had also seen the xun instrument in books before, but because it was relatively rare, she had never seen the real thing, let alone heard its sound.
Chi Xin stretched out his slender hand, took the Xun in Lan Lingxue's hand, stretched out his fingers and put them on the corresponding round holes one by one, and then put them on his lips, exhaled softly, and the pleasant sound came out of the Xun in Chi Xin's hand.
At the end of the song, Chi Xin put Xun into the box and closed the lid.
"You can learn the flute very quickly, and Xun can also master the skills quickly. You can take this back and figure it out for yourself, I won't teach you. ”
Watching Lan Lingxue walk away, a cold light shot out of Chi Xin's eyes and looked at the rockery.
Lan Chunyu behind the rockery secretly showed a head, and saw Lan Lingxue carrying a mahogany box out of the peach blossom forest. didn't notice that Chi Xin had already discovered her.
It wasn't until he couldn't see Lan Lingxue's figure that Lan Chunyu came out from behind the rockery and sneered to find Lan Peng.
Lan Peng was talking to Lan Ping in the study at the moment, when he heard the next person tell the second lady that she was coming.
What is Yu'er doing in the study? Lan Peng really couldn't think of it for a while, after all, Lan Chunyu had never come to the study to look for him.
After a little thought, Lan Peng let Lan Chunyu in.
The first time he came to the study, Lan Chunyu couldn't help but start looking at the furnishings in the study.
The agarwood desk, the small leaf rosewood pen rest on the desk, the mahogany bookshelf, and even the chair and tea table are all good sandalwood, and the whole study is low-key and luxurious, which is really the place that Lanpeng attaches the most importance to.
Just when Lan Chunyu was stunned, Lan Peng looked at the furnishings in the study in surprise after she came in, and even forgot to salute herself, and couldn't help frowning.
When Lan Lingxue first came to the study, she was not as old as Lan Chunyu is now, and she was not rude like her.
"Ahem!"
When she heard the voice, she realized that she was only observing the study, and had not yet saluted her father.
"Father!"
Lan Peng couldn't see joy or anger on his face, and let out a faint "um".
After a while, when Lan Chunyu was hesitating about how to say about Lan Lingxue, Lan Peng spoke.
"What is Yu'er doing in the study?"
Lan Chunyu was thinking about where to start, and when she heard Lan Peng's question, she quickly replied: "If there is nothing to do, Yu'er will never come to the study to disturb his father, this is really one thing, Yu'er can't make up her mind, so she came to ask her father." ”
Lan Peng thought that Lan Chunyu was in trouble, and asked with concern: "If Yu'er has anything to say, don't be embarrassed." ”
