Chapter 30: The Great Array
When the sun was setting, Chu Jing and Dongfang Yin came uninvited.
The two waited left and right outside the gate, and they couldn't wait for Mu Zheng to send someone to greet them, and the courtyard was calm, and there was nothing unusual in them. After discussing it, I decided to go to Jinlu Yuan by myself, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for that stubborn old man to pick it up in my life.
The two of them went to the courtyard side by side, and the guards dodged to stop them, and told Mu Qinghan's words to the two distinguished guests, and the two of them shook their heads and ignored them. He Mu Qinghan was only a few years old, so he wanted to trap people with a formation, thinking that the two of them together were already a hundred years old, and they had never seen any battles, and this little child's thing couldn't stop them.
The nursing home couldn't stop people, and he didn't dare to block it, so he had to send someone to Qianzhuang to invite the young master home.
The two of them entered the gate and turned the shadow wall, their eyes were no longer the scenery they had seen before, and a cliff was at their feet. Under the cliff, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the pines and cypresses are crossed, and if you take two steps forward just now, you will fall. Along the cliff to the left, a moon door is very abruptly open, through the door you can see the peach blossoms burning inside, butterflies flying; A path on the right, with no end in sight.
Dongfang Yin has been going back and forth to Shuiyue Villa for decades, and since he knows the path in the courtyard, he knows that this is an illusion. Then he stood still, and with one foot sticking out of the edge of the cliff, it was actually suspended in the air, and he could really fall into it.
The two were helpless, and they knew their mistakes too late.
This is the early spring, and the demon peach full of courtyards must be a trap, so I have to follow the path on the right. After walking for half an hour, it seemed that I was going uphill step by step, and I still couldn't forget the end.
The two of them glanced at each other and wanted to go back, but they found that the way they had just come was gone, and the two were trapped on a distant mountain pavilion, and there were clouds and mist everywhere, and the sky was getting dark.
Tired and abnormal, just when I didn't know what to do, suddenly the clouds in front of me dispersed, there was nothing, the two of them faced the shadow wall, and behind them was the familiar scenery of Shuiyue Villa.
Mu Qinghan was by his side, "Lord Jing, Grandpa Dongfang, please come inside!" The voice was still cold, and there was no color of joy and anger.
The two of them settled down, looked at each other without making a sound, and followed Mu Qinghan to Jinlu Garden.
Mu Qinghan sent the two into the courtyard, turned around and went to the big study.
Mu Zheng didn't see the anger of Yijian Villa at this time, and his face was still the majestic and righteous look of the past.
The three of them sat down, and the magpie brewed good tea and brought it up, and closed the door of the hall by the way as they went out.
Mu Zheng knew the purpose of the two of them coming here, and they had been friends for many years, and they obviously didn't want to see each other at this time, but they couldn't turn them away.
"Mu Zheng always has surprises, I think this tea is on the hundred-year-old trees on the top of Danxia Mountain, and the ones in the palace are not as mellow as yours!" Chu Jing looked envious, but deliberately showed more jealousy.
"Brother Mu, I just encountered an obstacle when I entered the mansion, and that formation is your masterpiece?" Dongfang Yin decided in his heart that without decades of repeated practice and immersion, the mysterious formation would not be so powerful.
"That's just Han'er's carving insect skills, don't bother you two to ask!" Mu Zheng said lightly, and he was not happy because the descendants had such skills.
"Worthy of the praise of the world, Gongzi Han has never had such an ability before the crown, I am afraid that no one in my generation can do it except you, the heirs of the Mu family are really the dragon and phoenix among the people, and others are far from reaching!" Dongfang Yin listened to Mu Zheng's careless words, and couldn't help but look at Mu Qinghan differently in his heart, this son is far a hundred times stronger than what is rumored in the market.
Chu Jing heard that it was Mu Qinghan's doing, and he was silent and pondering, Mu Zheng's words back then were still in his ears. Now it seems that the Mu family attaches more importance to the cultivation of future generations than other families.
"The formation is my Mu family heirloom skills, the achievements of the younger generations only depend on personal comprehension, if he is attentive, he can always learn seven, seven, eight, eight; If it's just a gentleman, the Mu family's housekeeping skills will never be passed on. "Mu Zheng learned the formation when he was a child, and it has become a habit for sixty years, and he still has to study it every morning.
Mu Qinghan could understand the array he had laid down at the age of four, and none of the subtle arrays handed down by his ancestors at the age of eight could stop him; He is studious and flexible, and the formation evolved by his hands, except for Yan'er, who can do and solve, no one can get out smoothly.
Mu Zheng entered Mu Qinghan's practice array in the backyard, the world changed, the wind and clouds were unpredictable, and everything was out of common sense. It took him two days to get out of the battle, but he was very happy in his heart.
The most amazing thing is the girl Yan'er, who has not been taught since she was a child, but she can never forget it. But all the formation tips that I have seen can be remembered, and I can add some unexpected changes to it, although it is still less subtle than Han'er, but it is also very good. Now it seems that we have to believe in the inherited abilities of our ancestors.
The three of them talked about state affairs to business, from officials to the people, each with different opinions, or quarreled or should have their own disputes, but they had nothing to do with Mu Qingyan's divorce. Seeing that the night was already on duty, Mu Zheng and the two refused to stay, so they had to get up and go back.
Chu Han came in, "Lord Jing is well, Uncle Dongfang is well!" "Courteous and calm.
"Dad, but you left two uncles for dinner? Banquet hall, please! Chu Han personally opened the two doors connecting the main hall and the banquet hall, and instructed the mandarin duck to bring warm water to a few people to clean their hands, and Aunt Fu's first dish was served.
Chu Jing and Dongfang Yin did not shirk, laughed loudly, and envied Mu Zheng for such a gentle and sensible daughter.
"My dad has a good wine hidden here, do you two want to drink something, and I'm going to steal a pot to honor you two?" Chu Han was not rigid, and smiled lightly to dissolve the heavy atmosphere in the room.
Mu Qingyan read the book of soldiers for an afternoon, it was getting late, Linglong sneaked in, saw that she was still reading, and reached out to grab the book and put it back on the table, "Miss, it was dark and hurt my eyes." ”
"I'm hungry, but do I have anything to eat?" Mu Qingyan didn't eat much at noon, and immersed himself in books in the afternoon, sometimes thinking about it, sometimes rehearsing it in his mind, and before he knew it, he would naturally be hungry.
Linglong was stunned by her question for a moment, "Miss, you, you're not, are you okay?" Reaching out to touch Mu Qingyan's forehead, he tilted his head after touching it, thought about it, and touched his forehead again.
Mu Qingyan took her hand, "Of course I'm fine, you help me up and find something to fill my stomach!" ”
Linglong pulled Mu Qingyan up from the soft couch with a strong force, and asked worriedly: "Shouldn't you cry when you get married, will you be stupid, Miss?" ”
Mu Qingyan bent a finger and tapped her forehead, "Then do I still have to die or live?" Do you want to hang yourself? Beat you up again? ”
Linglong rubbed the painful place by Mu Qingyan with her hand, "Miss don't!" With a crying voice, as if begging and fearing, thinking that it would be better to be like this, I became happy again, and trotted out of the painting hall to set up dinner.
Yijian Villa, up to the old lady, down to Nangong Hao, sent several waves of people to Shuiyue Villa to inquire about the news in one afternoon, but all of them returned in vain.
Nangong Yin's acupoint was automatically unlocked in two hours, and the moment he could move, he rushed to the bed, struggling to go to Shuiyue Villa. Ugin hugged him tightly, and asked people to go to the room quickly to reply, and Nangong Chengyue and his wife came immediately.
Mrs. Nangong hugged him and refused to let go, forcing him to die, and finally calmed Nangong Yin down. It's just that his eyes are blank, his face is gray, and he can't even sit well, so he is stunned.
Deng Min was sent back to her house, and the old lady Nangong personally selected a few older mothers-in-law to take care of them, so it was better not to have any accidents.
Deng Min was happy and worried, happy that he had his cousin's child, Mu Qingyan retreated despite the difficulties, and he was willing to come to his own bitterness; But I was afraid that Nangong Yin would dislike her from now on, and I was afraid that my aunt would ignore her. She didn't know that the consequences of this incident were beyond her aunt's control.
After all, there were many people who witnessed this on that day, and only three or five days later the word spread in the market, and some of the words changed their tone, and there were also people who said anything. said that the Nangong family's favorite concubine killed his wife, and the concubine had already occupied the phoenix nest before the wife entered the door; said that Miss Mu was too jealous and did not allow her husband to take a concubine, which has violated the rule of seven goes.
There are more good people who talk about the rich family business of Kaimufu, and the reputation of Mu Qingyan is damaged, and since then he has not been able to marry into a big family, and the small people in the market can marry one step to the sky.
Qin Yan passed by the street, his heart was depressed, and he hated to put all those who gathered in one place to gossip and lock them in prison.
"Brother Qin, come up and have a glass of wine!" Weiyang was still dressed in white, leaning against the window on the third floor of Yuyu and standing with a smile.
Qin Yan looked up at him, his eyebrows seemed to be locked with sorrow, and he was not as spirited as before. On the spur of the moment, he stepped on the wall of the building, rose up, and only entered the room from the window with only one rise and fall, and sat firmly opposite Weiyang.
"Brother Weiyang is so interested, drinking alone?" Qin Yan stared, changing the angry look downstairs just now.
Weiyang poured him a glass of wine with his own hands, "Why is Brother Qin angry?" Taste if my wine can make you happy. ”
Qin Yan picked up the wine glass and looked at the wine in the glass, which seemed to be a little thick, and it was dark red in the white porcelain cup. I put it under my nose and sniffed it carefully, but there was no smell of alcohol. Looking up to look at Weiyang again, she took a sip of the cup and motioned for him to taste it.
Qin Yan had never drunk this kind of wine before, and after drinking it all in one gulp, there was a faint sourness in her mouth, and the aroma of some fruits, and she asked, "What kind of wine is this?" ”
"The wine made from the fruit has a light taste but has a lot of stamina, is it delicious?" Weiyang looked at him expectantly.
"I still like peach blossom drunk, this kind of wine is suitable for women to drink, it has no taste." Qin Yan told the truth.
Weiyang looked at Qin Yan with amusement and drank another glass, and recited another sentence of peach blossom drunkenness. After a moment's hesitation, he got up and walked to the door, opened the door and was about to go out.
"Brother Weiyang, please drink in the next, and I only drank two glasses of wine from you, are you going to give up and go?" Qin Yan deliberately complained.
Weiyang ignored his ridicule, opened the door and whispered a few words to the outside, and walked back to sit on the chair. poured himself another cup, glared at Qin Yan, "I don't know the goods, although it is rare to get drunk with peach blossoms, where is my smoky maple dew to be expensive, hum!" ”
Qin Yan looked at her as naughty and delicate as a woman in every move, and couldn't help but think about the woman who had just been talked about by everyone downstairs, and sighed silently in her heart, as if there was something wrong, but she couldn't catch that fleeting thought.
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door, and someone was knocking on the door.
Weiyang walked over, stretched out his hand to open a door, and the person outside handed in a foot-high wine jar.
Weiyang returned to the table with the wine jar in his arms, gently smashed the sealed mud with his palm, lifted off a layer of cloth, and lifted off a layer of wax paper, the smell of wine suddenly drifted away, and the whole room could smell the aroma of the age.
Weiyang put a whole jar in front of Qin Yan, "Your peach blossoms are drunk, don't leave until you finish drinking!" ”
Qin Yan was stunned when the aroma of wine wafted out, such a big jar, where did he get it, this kind of wine is so rare, and money can't buy it.
"Change the big bowl, I have fun today, thank you Brother Weiyang, I got this peach blossom drunk love!" Qin Yan rarely met someone who could talk and drink, and the previous depression was deeply covered by the smell of alcohol, so even if he was drunk, he didn't have to be strong.
Weiyang was infected by his indulgence, you drink a cup and I drink a cup. Drinking, the two sat still, and talked about martial arts, Weiyang made a tricky palm, and a move 'foxtrot boo' went head-on.
Qin Yan wanted to arrive with a move of 'Floating Light and Shadow', but she didn't want to leave the second half of her hand before she finished her move, seeing that it was slapped on her left arm, Qin Yan hurriedly caught it with a move of 'non-dry and non-glorious', and he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy.
Weiyang made another move to 'connect the city'.
Qin Yan saw that there was nowhere to dodge, so he had to 'refuse people for thousands of miles'.
Soon, half of the wine was gone, Qin Yan was seven points drunk, and stopped arguing with Weiyang about which wine was delicious. Qin Yan looked at the bottom of the altar and said to himself: "Why are there no peach blossoms in the wine?" ”
At this time, Weiyang's cheeks are beautiful, his eyes are bright, his mouth is red, and he is very good-looking. "Of course, there are no peach blossoms in the peach blossom drunk, it is only brewed in the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and it has been buried under the peach tree for three years, and it has been nourished by the peach roots, and the wine is peach blossom-like color, where there are really peach blossoms."
Qin Yan looked at it by chance, and what he saw was like this, and he was stunned and stretched out his hand to pinch her face. Silky, delicate and plump, those eyes seem to have seen somewhere.
The wine had bottomed out, Qin Yan was nine points drunk, his eyes were in a trance, but he couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was a man or a woman, how he looked familiar.
Weiyang looked at him stunned, thinking that the layer of makeup had fallen off, he reached out and touched it carefully, there was no problem, and when he went to see Qin Yan again, he was already lying on the table.
Weiyang called Sanjiu to come in, told him to protect Qin Yan secretly, not to allow accidents, and asked the shopkeeper to assign two people to take care of it carefully, and went downstairs seven times and eight times back to Shuiyue Villa.
When Qin Yan woke up, it was already three watches, he had never been so indulgent, and the two times he was drunk was because of Weiyang. When a person sits at the window and looks out, his heart is empty.
I sat stupidly like this for two shifts, and I didn't understand why I got drunk so easily, drunk in front of a strange and dangerous person. After tidying up his clothes, he still jumped down from the window and entered the palace.
