Chapter 41: A Broken Monk Practitioner of Medicine, a Pink-faced Skull with a Long Tongue
On the reunion festival of the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, His Royal Highness the Prince held a talent award party in the post house and invited the students of Nanjiang City to go to the sea of books.
The carriage was ready at the door, and the eldest young master sat quietly in it, indifferently watching me get into the carriage.
His mental head is not good, and he is dark and green at the moment.
"It's getting colder and colder, so the eldest young master should take care of his body." If he gets sick again, it will be a nightmare on earth.
"Just a few nightmares, don't worry about it."
What a coincidence, I'm having nightmares too.
Since that night's bizarre dream, I have dreamed more and more, and sometimes I can't take a nap at lunchtime.
All dreams are strange, but all are nightmares. Ling Chi was executed, and the person who died changed from the eldest young master at the beginning to a person who couldn't see his face clearly, maybe I was tired during this time and imagined it.
In silence, the carriage slowly came to the front of the post house.
The young talents of Nanjiang City who were invited to come made the usually deserted post house a lot more lively, and I obediently followed the eldest young master and walked all the way into the inner courtyard.
The appearance of the eldest young master has attracted the attention of many people, and among the words of appreciation, there are still many people talking about me. I don't know which talkative person in the Luo family spread the word, saying that I am the only little wife who is favored by the eldest young master.
I have a hard time making out my mouth, and I have no choice but to accept an unrealistic name.
The eldest young master ignored everyone's intentions, took me to a clean place in the inner courtyard, said that he had something to discuss with the prince, and left.
The prince's inexplicable intentions made people defensive, and the eldest young master was afraid that I would say something unfavorable, so he no longer planned to take me to deal with the prince.
I was happy to be quiet, sitting alone in the pavilion, waiting for the eldest young master to return.
The eldest young master did not allow Lu Yuan to follow, and the attendants who accompanied him only had blessings and bonuses.
Blessed practice followed the eldest young master, and the bonus was retained.
It was late autumn, and the chrysanthemums in the post house were blooming.
But no one appreciated the beautiful scenery, everyone was in the front yard.
Out of boredom, I suddenly heard the sound of a wooden fish knocking.
This is strange, this is the Talent Awards, is there still a monk?
Halfway around, I saw a monk in ragged clothes.
His eyebrows and beards were white, he sat upright on the ground, knocked on the wooden fish with both hands, and closed his eyes to meditate.
A dilapidated monk didn't know how to get into the post house.
"If I have the fortune to see a monk here, why don't you ask him to interpret my dream for me?" I thought to myself, and was about to get up to pay a visit, when an extra arm appeared in front of me. Bonus blocked my way.
"Can't go see it?"
Bonus nodded slightly, then wrinkled her eyebrows and shook her head.
Is it visible or not? I don't understand.
The bonus nodded suddenly.
"Can't see it?" I asked.
Hua Hongfu nodded vigorously.
"It's a pity." I looked at the monk not far away and thought regretfully.
"Where did you come from, old monk?" The people of the post house with the fruits hurriedly walked by and saw the monk, and said fiercely, "The prince is holding a banquet here today, you monk's clothes are shabby and filthy, carefully bump into the prince, cut off your head, get out!" ”
The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and the old monk opened his eyes, his eyes were blank, and I was stunned.
The old monk put away the wooden fish and stood up, folded his hands and bowed to his subordinates, "The poor road passes through here, and the heart feels something, meditating and chanting here." ”
He suddenly took a step forward, only to tripped over the steps.
The subordinate was quick to move, threw away the fruit and held the monk in time, raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, but the monk did not react.
"Sure enough, he's blind." I think.
The subordinate twisted his eyebrows, "You old monk is not only broken, but also blind, and you don't know what to do, you really don't know how to get in, come with me!" ”
The subordinate suddenly took off his robe and put it on the old monk, picked up the unrotten fruit on the ground, and stuffed it into his hand, "Which temple are you, I will ask someone to send you back, so as not to collide with the prince and let us lose our lives with you!" ”
The old monk smiled and whispered to him, probably talking about the temple of cultivation.
The subordinate listened and led the old monk through the back door.
Before going out, the old monk suddenly stopped, and the next person asked him what was wrong, but the old monk did not speak, turned around and smiled in our direction.
I was amazed, he knew we were here?
Seeing the old monk and his subordinates leave, looking back, the fruits that had fallen on the ground earlier had been collected by others.
"Hua Hong, do you know that master?" Thinking of the tangled behavior of the bonus to stop me, I said that I didn't know, it was unlikely.
Hua Hong understood this, so she didn't hide it, and wrote to me in the notebook she carried with her, "He is Master Jueyuan." ”
I haven't heard of the name, "Jueyuan? ”
Hua Hong explained, "He is a master of Nanjiang Temple's escapist practice. ”
Escapism? Then how could he be in the inn, this is not a place to escape from the world. Is the bonus lying to me?
I looked at the bonus suspiciously.
Hua Hong wrote: "Eight years ago, in order to repay the kindness of a person, he treated the only son in the benefactor's family, breaking his vow to retreat from the world. Over the years, he has been wandering the rivers and lakes, looking for a cure. ”
There was a sense of gratitude and sorrow between Hua Hong's eyebrows, and a thought popped up in my heart, "That person is ......"
"It's the master." Bonus and tray out.
"Many years ago, the person who followed the eldest lady back to the Luo family to cure the evil spirit for the eldest young master is Master Jueyuan!" I was shocked, "And he's still looking for a way to cure the eldest young master, does this mean that the eldest young master is still in the middle of evil." ”
People are just a little cheap, and when someone you know knows tells you something unbelievable, you won't believe it. But if you say another person in the industry, you subconsciously believe it again.
That's the case now, and I'm ninety percent convinced of the evil in the eldest young master.
Therefore, it is very likely that Miss Siqing was not made up in the dream of the eldest young master, she was originally his lover in his previous life. And the reason why the eldest young master is so smart may also be because he has lived two lifetimes.
Has he been looking at us according to the memories of his previous life, hiding in the shadows and snickering, removing himself from all living beings?
Thinking about it so much, I can't think about it.
The hour is approaching, the banquet is held as scheduled, and the eldest young master has not yet returned.
I felt hungry in my belly, and Hua Hong didn't feel anything, and I didn't dare to ask her to get some food, so I could only sit quietly in the courtyard and wait for the eldest young master to return.
"Sister-in-law?" When he was bored, a surprised voice came from his side.
I saw that the second young master and Jinxian were standing on the left side.
Jinxian is a talented woman in Nanjiang City, so it is not surprising to have her at such a conference. But I was a little surprised to see the second young master here.
It's no wonder that the second young master's schoolwork is really indescribable. Besides, it's still with Jinxian.
"They're reconciled?" I can't help but wonder.
The second young master wanted to pull Jinxian to talk to me, but Jinxian shook off his hand indifferently and walked towards the front yard by himself.
Seeing this, the second young master looked lonely, and did not catch up, but watched her leave.
I looked at the background of Jinxian and had mixed feelings in my heart.
I couldn't see Jinxian's back anymore, the second young master turned his head and said to me with a smile: "What is my sister-in-law doing here?" ”
I replied, "I'm waiting for the eldest young master." ”
The second young master was surprised, "Big brother is not by your side?" ”
I nodded.
"This is really ......" The second young master frowned, and stopped talking.
I don't know what he thinks in his heart, but I don't like him tying me to the whereabouts of the eldest young master, so I explained: "He has something to do, don't take me, deserved." ”
The second young master was stunned, "Sister-in-law is right." ”
"Gollum~"
The sound of hunger makes my face hot, it doesn't ring in the morning and it doesn't sound in the evening, why is it ringing at this moment!
"Poof!" The second young master couldn't help laughing, and I stood up and wanted to leave.
"Sister-in-law, farewell!" The second young master stopped, "This inn is big, if you get lost, it's troublesome." I'll take you to eat and I'll take you around. ”
I couldn't help but look at the bonus that was in charge of my caretake.
The bonus didn't say anything, and was looking at me.
After a long time, the bonus finally nodded her head.
Seeing Hua Hong nodding, I put aside my scruples, followed the second young master to eat some pastries, and looked at the scenery of the post house everywhere.
Playing and playing, I forgot the advice of the eldest young master, until I walked back to the front yard and saw groups of talented people in Nanjiang City, and the bonus patted me on the shoulder and signaled to leave.
I was about to go back after thanking the second young master for accompanying me, when I suddenly heard someone next to me ask: "Jinxian, is she the new daughter-in-law of Young Master Luo?" ”
When I heard the sound, I turned my head to see that a group of graceful girls were gathering together, and in the middle was the county lord of Jinxian.
Jinxian was suddenly asked, and she was also stunned, seeing me with the second young master, her eyes were cold, and then she smiled faintly, "Yes, she is Liufang's new daughter-in-law." ”
Everyone present also recognized the second young master, and their eyes went back and forth between the two of us and Jinxian, joking and mocking.
"Jinxian ......" The second young master didn't seem to notice the eyes of others watching the show, and wanted to talk to the Jinxian County Lord, but she was glared at and stopped talking.
"Second Young Master Luo, be polite." Jinxian opened her mouth to distance her identity.
Her title has changed so much that I almost didn't react.
The second young master was sad and wanted to step forward, but I gave Hua Hong a look, asked her to hold the second young master, and said to Jinxian alone: "The county lord of Jinxian is polite." ”
Jinxian frowned.
As I spoke to her, the ladies and ladies around me listened quietly, and I wanted to leave before the situation became bad.
"Little Madam Luo, don't be in a hurry to leave," Jinxian suddenly said to stay, and I sighed in my heart, "Here are all the ladies and ladies of various families in Nanjiang City, and you haven't seen anyone since you got married." Take this opportunity to talk more, and in the future, it will be easy for each family to move around. ”
As soon as the words fell, the ladies and ladies of each family echoed one after another. My scalp was numb, and I couldn't excuse myself.
I don't know who praised Jinxian for her atmosphere, saying that although she is no longer the unmarried daughter-in-law of the Luo family, she still thinks about the Luo family.
Jinxian smiled and agreed, and looked at me. The mind is not for outsiders.
She sent the second young master away on the grounds that the woman was talking, and the man was inconvenient to be here, and I watched him leave, sighing that the second young master really didn't look at it.
With different backgrounds, different visions, and different knowledge, I can't talk to this group of ladies and ladies at all. Fortunately, Jinxian has been in the limelight as the county lord recently, and most of the time this group of ladies and ladies are close to her.
Jinxian is skillful, and she talks happily with the ladies and ladies of various families, and she has never snubbed anyone except me.
If you just snub me, I'm not afraid, but according to Jinxian's current situation, he deliberately left me behind, and he didn't know what to do later, which made me anxious.
I could have retreated, but the bonus deliberately hinted a few times to let me stay. I think it was because he didn't want me to escape, which indirectly ruined the reputation of the eldest young master.
I sat in the middle of this group of ladies and ladies, and I couldn't sit still.
The topic has shifted from the recent jewelry and clothes to the competition of the students on the poetry stage.
The talent award held by the prince is an opportunity for poor students. If you can overwhelm a group of people and win the favor of the prince, you will undoubtedly be able to soar.
For the future, the students can be said to have done their best. is a woman, and there are many who come to the stage to chant poems against them.
As a famous talented woman in Nanjiang City, Jinxian's talent is vividly displayed at this moment.
A poem won the applause of the whole house, and it won the admiration of many young students, and the young ladies who were not out of the cabinet were full of envy.
"The Jinxian County Lord is really powerful!" Some praise, others echo.
"The county lord of Jinxian is so good, it is really a blessing for the people who marry her in the future!" A girl who has not yet left the cabinet said, and everyone agreed, but their eyes fell on me from time to time.
"Little Mrs. Luo, the Luo family has withdrawn from the marriage of the county lord of Jinxian, do you regret it?" is still the girl who has not come out of the cabinet, Xu is quite powerful and favored in the family, and has developed an innocent temperament, speaking straightforwardly and without turning, not afraid of offending anyone.
"The Luo family regrets," I said in my heart, "I don't regret it." ”
"I must regret dying," I don't wait for me to speak, someone responds first, this person and the girl who has not come out of the pavilion are friends with handkerchiefs, and they have been reconciled since the beginning," I saw that Second Young Master Luo often ran to the Jinxian County Lord's house recently, and the Jinxian County Lord also had a headache, so he had to refuse ruthlessly for the sake of the reputation of the two. The pitiful appearance of the two of them is distressed by anyone who sees it. ”
Looking at the smile in her eyes, it really doesn't look distressed.
I pouted to myself.
This group of ladies and ladies who have nothing to do is really enough, it's just a matter of hiding from Jinxian and the Luo family's jokes on weekdays, and they dare to mock in front of real people, really when the Luo family burns their eyebrows, don't you dare to turn back?
Don't dare to deal with Jinxian, these ladies and ladies are also from the family of merchants, can I still be afraid?
I made up my mind and said to the young lady with a smile: "It's a joke for the girl, my little brother-in-law really has a deep affection for the county lord of Jinxian." Since you know that he often goes to see the Jinxian County Lord, he must be living near the Jinxian County Lord's house. and can know the mind of the county lord, and must have a good relationship with her. In this way, next time she encounters this situation, why don't the girls be kind enough to take a hand and be a middleman for the two to meet, and break this poor situation? ”
Don't you think they're pitiful, give them a bridge?
The faces of the two ladies of the handkerchief house froze at the same time, and the lady who followed the ridicule was stunned.
"Can't you?" I pretended to regret, "After all, the identities are different, the county lord of Jinxian is the county lord, how can I be discussed and suspected by civilians such as us when interacting with people." Our Luo family is the richest man in Nanjiang City, and we have a lot of business dealings with each other, and we can't take care of each other when we have little business contacts on weekdays. If it is because of my Luo family, the royal county lord is dissatisfied, causing turmoil, and then affecting all families, it will not be good. Therefore, the girl should not meddle in this matter, so as not to get into trouble. ”
The ladies and ladies present were all speechless and had nothing to say.
Mockery, I learned a few words from the eldest young master. No matter who you are facing, take out your family background to oppress and use your identity to wear a high hat, you are not relatives of the emperor and the country, and there is no Luo family in the family, so it is better to shut up.
