Chapter 13 Forgetting the Year
Qin Yan went to the palace first to explain some things, and went home to his mother's courtyard to explain his intentions.
"Mother, today I am free." Qin Yan drank the tea made by her mother.
From that day on, Qiu Xiaoyue had prepared a gift, just waiting for Qin Yan's words! Hearing him say today, he was happy, turned around to make up, and asked the big girl to go and see that the master was invited over.
Qin Shaohui went down to the court and returned to the house before he changed his court clothes before he was invited by the maid in a hurry, and when he heard that it was the case, he went to change his solemn dress, and called the little maid to prepare a car and report to the Jade Mansion.
A family of three packed up and parked, he and his wife took a car, and two cars loaded with gifts in the back of the car. Qin Yan rode a horse and went to the Jade Mansion.
The Jade Mansion got the letter in advance and received it ceremoniously. Yu Che, the leader of the martial arts alliance, waited in the courtyard with a few good brothers, Qin Yan saw it from a distance, turned over and dismounted, walked forward, and bent down to salute, "Hello Uncle Yu, hello uncles!" β
"Good, good, good! Haha, it's good that I'm here! Yu Che looked at the young man in front of him, his eyebrows were handsome, his figure was handsome, and his heart was already happy.
The carriage stopped, Qin Shaohui got out of the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to take his wife down.
"Brother Qin, how is it? Xiaoyue, I haven't seen you for a few days, and Yun'er is thinking day and night! Yu Che greeted him.
Qiu Xiaoyue was the first talented woman in the capital back then, and Yu Che's wife Feng Qiyun was the first beauty in the rivers and lakes. Qin Shaohui was murdered by political enemies when he was young, but fortunately Yu Che saved his life, and he was deeply grateful.
Qin Yan was born, Feng Qiyun loved her very much, and when she was pregnant, Qiu Xiaoyue discussed with her and married her children. God lives up to it, in the end it is a man and a woman.
Now the children are grown. The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, a pair of beautiful people made in heaven, and the two families are happy.
Feng Qiyun waited for the door of the hall, and everyone entered the main hall together, put down refreshments, and chatted while drinking tea. In the mansion of the leader of the martial arts alliance, it is natural that there are people living in the martial arts from time to time, and they are all anecdotes in the martial arts, which is joyful.
Qin Yan stayed out of the matter, lowering his head and thinking about something.
Let's say that the three carts heading towards the Broken Sky Temple arrived at the place where the car could not travel halfway up the mountainside, and the three of them were helped out of the carriage by the maid.
Yan Xuechu was dressed in a short jacket with a stand-up collar of blue cloud brocade, a long skirt of blue cloud brocade, covered with a white fox cloak, handsome eyebrows, and a hand warmer in his hand.
Yu Ranqing also came down, tying the belt of the cloak, a long jacket with a high collar and silver and red brocade, a pair of silver-red trousers underneath, a black sable cloak outside, a sword on her waist, and a maid holding a Tianyin piano to accompany her. The maids in the mansion of the martial arts league lord are also short-dressed, and they know at a glance that they are all good at martial arts.
Mu Qingyan's carriage was at the end, and the two of them walked towards Mu Qingyan's carriage while talking.
"Yan'er, are you okay? Won't it be too hard? Yu Ranqing asked with concern.
Yan Xuechu frowned, "Why aren't you okay?" It's been more than a month! β
Coral lifted the curtain, got out of the car neatly, and reached out to pick up Mu Qingyan.
"I'll come, Linglong, get out of the way!" Yu Ran Yan stretched out both hands, Mu Qingyan is strength got out of the car, Pearl took out a purple fox marten cloak and immediately wrapped her, "Miss, you don't wait to get dressed before getting out of the car, it's cold, and it's freezing again." β
Yan Xuechu stuffed the stove into Mu Qingyan's hand, "You hold it, it's going to be the New Year, take care of yourself!" β
"Miss, you're holding the stove!" Liuli finally got out of the car with a stove, looked at the one that the young lady was holding, and smiled and stuffed it into Yan Xuechu.
"It's still half an hour's walk from the Shattered Sky Temple, are you okay with Yan'er?" Jade Dye Eye has martial arts, needless to say.
"I wish I had known to carry a soft sedan car!" Yan Xuechu looked at the endless steps, turned around and instructed: "Yan'er go slowly, it's not too late to rest when you're tired, anyway, we have a whole day, and if it's late, it's late, and at most we will be hosted once." "She has also learned some kung fu since she was a child, but she is not proficient, and she is only used for self-defense.
Mu Qingyan's martial arts foundation is excellent, and excessive blood loss is not something that can be raised for a while, but the strength is slowly raised. Not to mention walking the mountain road for half an hour, even if you don't use internal force, there is not much problem to climb up from the bottom of the mountain, but you are weaker and have no strength.
She was not reckless, and admitted: "Let's go and see, let's talk about it when I can't walk." β
Everyone nodded, the guards of the three mansions opened the way in front, the maids protected on both sides, and the three of them walked all the way into the Broken Sky Temple.
There were already monks waiting at the door, leading three people in, and the little servants carried offerings, and the incense paper was used in the temple. The three have prayed successively, which is nothing more than the safety of the family, the health of the parents, and so on.
"Whose lady is that sable in the sable?" A young man in a blue python robe with sword sleeves and a sable fur asked the people who were following him.
The entourage didn't recognize it, and replied truthfully: "Looking at the eyes, it shouldn't be a young lady from a family!" β
A handsome man in white chuckled and said, "Although King Liwang doesn't recognize her, which one of the most uneducated women in the capital should always know?" He pointed in the direction of the three of them and said, "The one wearing red is Miss Yu from the Martial Arts Alliance's Mansion, Gongziyan's fiancΓ©e; The one who wears the blue is Miss Yan of Thrushcross Villa! β
The young man who was revered as King Li was none other than the six princes who had the most sacred heart in the dynasty, Chu Li.
He frowned, unable to see his true face from a distance. But I saw Mu Qingyan's slender figure, walking willows and helping the wind, very graceful. He asked suspiciously: "An Yuqing, don't tell me that person is Mu Qingyan of Shuiyue Villa!" β
"Exactly!" The man in white replied seriously.
The man in white is An Yuqing, the second young master of An Xinlou, who is all-round in civil and military affairs, good at calculation, and extremely scheming. He is proud and conceited, and the six sons of Dongchu have nothing else to do, so he is a little angry.
Chu Li looked at Mu Qingyan from a distance from under the corridor of the side hall, thoughtful.
It wasn't until the three of them left the main hall and followed the little monk into the backyard that he retracted his gaze and led the people into the cross-courtyard behind the West Chamber.
In the morning, they had not eaten, and when it was almost dawn, the three of them finished the ceremony, sent the little guards to rest, and went to the courtyard where Hui was presiding. Mu Qingyan and Hui Yan have a year-old friendship, and they have always settled in the courtyard of the presiding over the Broken Sky Temple.
Hui Yan was not there, but he told the little monk to prepare a meal.
The three of them used some vegetarian food, rinsed their mouths and washed their hands, burned incense, and automatically and consciously copied the scriptures, and the paper and pen were also prepared a long time ago.
Yan Xuechu's words are gentle, and he always copies some Heart Sutras; Yu Ranqing's character Xiongxiu chose the Huayan Sutra. Mu Qingyan's words can't be described, outsiders say that she is squirming, the words are not like words, the painting is not like a painting, she does not refute it, who likes to say what to say, anyway, the words written are still not eye-catching. Boudoir friends didn't laugh at her, and picked up a book at random and threw it to her to relieve her boredom.
She slept on the futon with the scriptures on her face and no breath.
An hour later, the old monk came back and stretched out his foot to kick Mu Qingyan.
Mu Qingyan squinted at him, and wanted to sleep again. Hui was angry, "Get up for me, or I'll throw you into the valley to feed the bears!" β
Yan Xuechu and Yu Ran stopped their pen and came over together, laughing to wake her up.
Mu Qingyan was also angry, and slowly sat up, "Are you really a monk?" How can you say that annoyance is annoyance? Stretching out his finger and pointing at the top of Hui's ordained head, "Aren't these ring marks fake, painted on them?" β
Hui was speechless, so angry that he pouted his beard. "It's stubborn, it's stubborn, and the Nangong family is blind!"
Yan Xuechu laughed so much that she almost rolled on the ground, and Yu Ranqing also laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.
"Abbot, don't quarrel with Yan'er, she has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, you can't win her!" Jade Ran eyes rounded, and reached out to twist Mu Qingyan's mouth.
"Don't make any noise, old monk, let's play chess!" Mu Qingyan will accept it when he sees it.
"Hmph, don't be allowed to Laipi, if you lose the chess, you stay with me for the New Year!" The old monk has never quarreled and won, chess is his life's hobby, and he has never been able to win against Mu Qingyan, and he is very unwilling to be killed by her every time.
put on the chessboard, Mu Qingyan held the white chess, Hui Yan held the black chess, and quickly landed on the chessboard. It was easy at the beginning, Mu Qingyan was absent-minded, and he threw it away, and the old monk was ready for it.
The further he fights, Mu Qingyan's chess is the same as a person, seemingly stubborn, but it is actually extremely lethal. The old monk thought for a longer and longer time, and sometimes when the chess pieces were about to fall, he suddenly retracted, looking at Mu Qingyan, he was still unconvinced by his slow and careless look.
Yu Ranqing played the Tianyin Qin, and let the distant thoughts disperse into the quiet room, whispering heartily. The thoughts in my heart that cannot be confided in others are told to the sound of the piano, and I am ethereal and hesitant.
played a game of chess for more than an hour, but in the end, he was completely defeated by Mu Qingyan. Hui was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and he blasted everyone down the mountain early, and it was almost dark.
After saying goodbye to Hui Yan, the three of them went to find the deacon in charge of the temple, and the three governments each donated a thousand taels of sesame oil money, and then they went out with a group of entourage. Before he could get out of the temple, he met Chu Li and others who came out of the West Chamber.
Mu Qingyan lowered her eyes, and knew in her heart that someone had been staring at her for a long time in the main hall when she first came, and she was afraid that it was this Chu Li. She didn't want to entangle with them more, Chu Li coveted the holy position, and they were destined to be enemies.
"An Yuqing, you return my fish!" Mu Qingyan angrily asked An Yuqing next to Chu Li for a debt.
This person is quite resourceful, she doesn't want him to be used by Chu Li, but she doesn't want to recruit either. The founder of Anxinlou is a traitor to Youlongxin Pavilion, and one day she will uncover the bottom of An's family and make Anxinlou completely disappear from the rivers and lakes.
In recent years, the information collected by Youlong Xin Pavilion has all kinds of signs that An Xinlou intends to help Chu Li win the holy throne and be prosperous. That is the case, don't blame her for taking advantage of the battle for the throne to lose everything!
Yan Xuechu was already in charge of half of Thrush Villa, and he knew a lot about the magnates in the capital. At this time, seeing that Chu Li was blocking the way, he hurriedly carried his skirt to salute.
"I've seen Liwang!" Yan Xue was about to kneel at the beginning of his knees.
Although Yu Ranqing didn't recognize King Li, she was very familiar with An Yuqing. Seeing that Yan Xue Chu had broken Chu Li's identity, he also went over to salute him, and said softly, "I don't know that King Li is here, I'm sorry!" β
Mu Qingyan knelt down with the reluctance that anyone could see, pursing the corners of his mouth and not saying a word.
Chu Li hurriedly stopped: "No need to be polite, please get up!" β
Mu Qingyan, whose knees had not yet touched the ground, was not polite at all, and got up according to Chu Li's words, with a natural expression.
Chu Li didn't have a clue about her unreasonableness, but just looked at her meaningfully.
It was these two glances, Mu Qingyan understood some information from it, and since then, when he saw Chu Li, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, either hiding or cowardly, only promised, how to make him hate it.
An Yuqing frowned at Mu Qingyan's public debt collection, and met her by chance in the Jade Mansion last summer. At that time, she and Yu Ranqing were fishing on the small bridge by the lotus pond, and a fish was hooked, and she and Yu Ranqing both leaned out half of their bodies to pull the fishing rod. He kindly reminded him when he passed by, but he didn't expect to scare the two of them into the pool.
Fortunately, the pool was only waist-high and uninjured. He kept apologizing, but Mu Qingyan still yelled at him again, threw him into the mud in the pool and still refused to stop, and insisted that he pay for her fish.
He boasted that he had the quality of a jade tree in the wind, but when the woman in the boudoir saw it, she was not shy, where had she experienced such treatment, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Later, Mrs. Yu got the news and hurried to relieve him.
Because of this, he was extremely impressed by her.
After giving way to Chu Li and the others to leave first, the three of them walked to the carriage and got into the carriage respectively. The coachman hurried with his whip to return before the gates were closed, fearing that he would have to hurry up.
Traveling all the way, the general will return to the city before sunset.
Mu Qinghan rode a tall horse with a black body, standing outside the city gate, waiting.
Watch the three carriages gallop back and relax. When the little guys saw it, they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. A little servant went to the car and whispered, "Miss, the young owner is here to pick it up."
Mu Qinghan turned the horse's head and walked towards the city, Mu Qingyan opened the curtain and only saw a back, knowing that Brother Han was here to pick her up, his heart warmed, and he smiled lightly.
