Chapter 10: Fate
Meng Xun tensed his back, lifted and fell in one breath, and took a deep breath several times before he said, "Master, I'm ...... I will not hesitate to go up the sword mountain and the sea of fire for you, even if you want me to die for no reason, I will not blink my eyes and ask more, but ...... I will never dare, and I can't have anything to do with you except master and apprentice, Master, don't bother me too much, I really can't afford it, I ...... I'm afraid I'll die. ”
His words have been repeated dozens of times in his abdomen, and he can pour them out like an endorsement, and at this time these words should not have passed through his brain again, but he still had no choice but to enter his heart, and he still spoke intermittently.
After saying that, he fled the sight of the person in front of him and lowered his head to the lowest.
The person in front of him was stunned by him.
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally figured it out, and then, she just wanted to laugh.
However, the remarks of going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire were also the sincerity of this person, and they were even more than the feelings of Fengyue, and she couldn't help but be moved.
She nodded heavily, grabbed something on the table, decided not to laugh at him, and slowly got up and walked in front of him.
Then gently raise your arms.
Meng Xun's hands tightened, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.
……
"Oops!" Meng Xun covered his arms and jumped up, "Master, why did you hit me?" ”
"Then what do you think?" She held the bamboo stick, did not laugh at him, only hit him.
"I ...... Delusion? Meng Xun raised his head abruptly and stared at her with an angry look.
This look is small and big, and he can see it as long as he is naughty in the past.
He paused, and the embarrassment and tension that had invaded his whole body suddenly dissipated.
Yes, people who grow up together, many things don't need to be explained, and there is no need to think about it at all.
The person in front of him laughed, and he finally smiled comfortably.
Luo Changqing took back the bamboo strip, hugged his arms and said angrily: "Don't run around in the future, go back to the room early in the middle of the night to rest." ”
Meng Xun unloaded his burden, shook his head, and returned to normal: "The senior brother and the second senior brother haven't come back yet, so I'll go find them too." ”
"Whatever you want, you three, don't all disappear."
He jumped out laughing, his mind clear.
was the first to find Lu Ling, Lu Ling didn't go far, it was easier to chase.
But Yue Lan really didn't know where to look, so the two of them went back together, and saw from a distance that the candle in the hall had been extinguished, and they didn't want to disturb the people who were sleeping, so they quietly walked into the courtyard through the back door.
The senior brother hasn't returned in order to find him, so it's not good to go upstairs to sleep directly at this time, and it just so happened that Lu Ling remembered one more thing, he went to the kitchen, heated the meal, and brought it to the stone table in the courtyard, and the two of them raised chopsticks with the moonlight.
Meng Xun was moved: "Second Senior Brother, you are so good to me, you know that I didn't eat at night." ”
Lu Ling shook his head: "It's not for you, it's just that I'm hungry too, and everyone hasn't eaten tonight because I'm waiting for you." ”
"Huh?" Meng Xun couldn't help but look upstairs.
"Master is already asleep, so don't bother."
"Yes." Meng Xun picked up a piece of tofu, and stopped talking a few times before he spoke, "I'm embarrassed." ”
"Strange, are you still afraid of being embarrassed?"
"I'm not afraid in front of others, but I'm afraid in front of Master."
"That's even more unusual, are you embarrassed in front of the master?" Lu Ling drank a cup of tea, and he didn't know what was going on, so he guessed to himself, "It's not that you want Master to help you match, I can't stand this, you can stop a little." ”
"It's not ......" Meng Xun wanted to explain, but after pondering for a while, he felt that there was nothing to say, if those thoughts couldn't be put down, it would be a real shame.
He followed his words and changed the subject: "Even if I asked Master to help me match everywhere, it never worked, I wondered, can't I get into the eyes of the girls?" ”
"You don't have the slightest sincerity, which girl dares to gamble her life, can't you find someone well and take it seriously?"
"But what if the person I take seriously can't succeed in the end, wouldn't I waste a lot of time?"
"You ......" Lu Ling looked at him incredulously, "Are you in a hurry?" ”
He sighed heavily, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that I'm worried." He leaned forward a little, "Second senior brother, you don't know, some time ago, I asked the little brother who set up a street stall to tell fortunes, and guess what, he said that what I wanted to ask for would never be able to do anything, and I would be lonely for half a lifetime and grow old." ”
Lu Ling was stunned: "This shouldn't be." ”
"Yes, you said that I am such a lively person, how can I stand to be lonely and old, I must start planning from now on, and quickly find the other half."
"I mean......" Lu Ling put down the teacup, "That fortune teller said such a thing, with your temper, you didn't even set up his stall, this shouldn't be." ”
"He measured the words very accurately, and even if he realized that I was an orphan and knew that I was adopted, it was all correct." He simply took out the paper from his sleeve on which he had written, and he had always carried it with him.
Lu Ling glanced at the paper with the candle flame, it was a word "Xun", neat and elegant.
But......
"No, I wrote your character, you asked me to write your name last time, it turned out that I used it for fortune telling?" He suddenly discovered.
"That's right, my words are not good-looking, I can't take my hand." Meng Xun was very calm, "You won't be stingy and come to me to collect money now, right?" ”
"It's not." Lu Ling said, "You use the words I wrote to measure, can this be accurate, and the results of this calculation are yours or mine?" ”
"It's my name, of course it's mine."
"That's fine." Lu Ling shook his head, "Even if it's me, what are I afraid of, I'm not afraid of being lonely and growing old." ”
"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk." Meng Xun complained angrily.
Not long after the words fell, I heard a movement by the door, and the senior brother finally returned.
He opened the door lightly, and also walked through the back door of the courtyard, holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums in his hand, and the fragrance followed his figure into the courtyard.
He returned from stepping on the moon, entered with incense, and was not surprised to see the two of them.
Meng Xun hesitated and wanted to admit his mistake, but after moving for more than a long time, he still said his doubts first: "Senior brother, you saw that I had come back, why didn't you ask?" ”
"I saw you outside, and I saw you coming back with Ah Ling, why bother asking." Yue Lan put the chrysanthemum under the porch, "So I'm not in a hurry, I just have time to pick some flowers by the way." ”
Meng Xun said: "I'm afraid that you will blame me for deliberately running away." ”
"You're so old, it's okay to run out and play, you don't cause trouble, you can come back safely, blame you for what to do."
"That's good." Meng Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
"But......" Yue Lan laid out the mountain chrysanthemum and walked over to him, "There are some things I want to ask you." ”
"Senior brother, just say it."
"You ...... today? Saying in front of outsiders, Master is interested in you? Yue Lan reached out and dusted his collar.
"I ......" he gasped, knowing that he still couldn't avoid this level.
Busy asking for help from the people around him, he just shouted a second senior brother, but in a blink of an eye, where was the shadow of the second senior brother beside him.
There was a loud shouting in the courtyard for a moment, but it soon became quiet again, not that the person who was beaten refused to cry out, but that the person who beat people was afraid of disturbing people's dreams.
Luo Changqing stood in front of the window, listening to the commotion below slowly dissipating, she smiled with the breeze and the bright moon, the years are quiet, that's it.
The moon sinks in the west, and the sky gradually brightens.
The gate of Changqingzhai slowly opened, and the blue ink color that bloomed on the paper kite brought the first ray of vitality to this long street.
The shopkeeper Gu leaned under the plaque of "Spring Breeze Gu", stroked his beard and said, "Your paper kite mask is well drawn. ”
He immediately replied: "In terms of calligraphy and painting, where can I compare to you, I am afraid that I will have to ask you more in the future." ”
Shopkeeper Gu laughed: "It's right to be each other's teachers." After a pause, he added, "Where is Miss Luo's ancestral hometown, but she has parents and family?" ”
Luo Changqing's movements on his hand stopped for a moment, and said slowly: "I'm from Cangzhou, a countryman, my parents were gone last year, and I don't have any other family except for these three apprentices." ”
"Last year?"
"Yes."
"Miss Luo is very hard." Shopkeeper Gu nodded, "I like your three apprentices very much, my Xiaofeng is also very compatible with them, although I am an old guy, fortunately, I have been here in Weiyuan County for almost twenty years, and I am finally half a local, if there is a place that can be used in the future, the girl can speak." ”
She hurriedly saluted: "Then thank you." ”
Shopkeeper Gu nodded, retreated to the store, and saw that the Yang family's shop on the opposite side had also opened.
A tall figure strode in, and a moment later stepped out again, squinting in the rising sun.
The Yang family, Shen Qianqian woke up shocked.
Mei Qiu hurriedly came to investigate: "What's wrong with Miss, did you have a nightmare?" ”
"I did have nightmares about a pair of eyes staring at me fiercely." She wiped a handful of sweat from her forehead, watched the maids rush in, waited for her to wash, and then came to breakfast.
When she scooped up the millet porridge, she thought of the sick seedling, and when she came back yesterday, the man returned to his Yaxiang Pavilion, but left the main room to her, and went to live in the side room by herself.
She didn't know if the Yang family was enlightened or because she didn't care much about Yang Lianqi at all, anyway, he and his wife lived apart in such an open and honest way, and the people didn't gossip.
She even felt that she was afraid that even if Yang Lianqi didn't live in Yaxiangge in the future, no one would say anything, but in that case, it would be difficult for her to spread the news that she had just been newly married.
Fortunately, Yang Lianqi did not live in Yaxiang Pavilion.
Thinking of that person, she asked: "What about others, have you eaten breakfast, you have to eat well if you are not in good health." ”
The maid replied, "The young master has already gone out." ”
"Huh?" She got up, "What did he do when he went out early in the morning?" ”
The maid only said that the young master did not tell her, and before leaving, she said that she was going to find someone.
She was a little worried, and she was afraid of the scene when he was sick yesterday, she was really scared, and the fragility of life that she had not experienced for more than 20 years was vividly appreciated at that moment.
But after some hesitation, I settled down again.
Today, the man went out by himself, and even if he fell ill again, it had nothing to do with her, and he couldn't find her head.
It's just a little curious, who will be the person he went to look for when he gets up in the morning?
Isn't it Sister Luo?
