Chapter 78: Made in Heaven
For a few days, Situ Nanyun didn't go to Lin Yuelan, Lin Yuelan seemed to be very busy, she didn't show up for a few days, so she put her mind on sword practice, it seemed that sword practice could make her forget some troubles.
During this period of time, she and Xu Xifeng practiced swords under the guidance of Mo Chunhua, and their swordsmanship has improved a lot, and their sword moves have gradually resembled the shape of the Snow Moon Sword School, but there is still a long distance from the gods.
Practicing swords is a very boring thing, one move at a time, you have to take it apart and practice repeatedly, pondering, until your hands cramp, your legs are weak, and you can eat thoroughly before you can continue to the next move, so repeatedly, despite this, Situ Nanyun still practiced diligently. Xu Xifeng is very perceptive and patient in swordsmanship, as a sparring partner, his swordsmanship level has overshadowed Situ Nanyun, which forced her to catch up.
The sun in early winter is not so hot, it is very comfortable to shine on people, the green bamboo in the courtyard is swaying, sending a gust of breeze, two fluttering figures are flying in the courtyard, and the white sword shines dazzlingly in the sun from time to time.
Looking at this pair of you chasing me and practicing swordsmanship, Mo Chunhua remembered the scene of practicing swords with Mo Qinglian and Xu Yuyi on the memorial cliff of Xueyue Mountain back then. Back then, they were also as young and high-spirited as Situ Nanyun and Xu Xifeng, and they also made a grand wish to become first-class swordsmen in the world and eliminate violence and peace for the world. But now more than 40 years have passed, and the three of them have passed away, and she can't help but feel sad in her heart.
A crisp female voice came, interrupting Situ Nanyun and Xu Xifeng's sword practice, and also breaking Mo Chunhua's thoughts.
"Yun'er, are you practicing swords?"
Situ Nanyun stopped practicing her sword and turned to walk towards her, "Well, Xiruo, what are you looking for me?" ”
Mo Xiruo hurriedly waved his hand and smiled, "I just saw you, come and say hello." It's the first time I've come to this Wancui Residence, and the environment here is not bad. ”
Xu Xifeng on the side followed, he had seen Mo Xiruo a few times, and when he first met, he was also chased by her to ask his age, and then he heard her "Brother Xifeng" calling, and he followed her, and then he inquired, almost everyone in Yishan Medicine Hall was called by her not a brother, but a sister, his head was a little big, and he dared to ask this girl to call her brother and sister addicted.
When Mo Chunhua saw a strange girl, he asked, "Yun'er, who is this?" ”
Situ Nanyun then introduced the two of them, "Mother-in-law Chunhua, this is Mo Xiruo, the friend brought back by Lin Yuelan; Xi Ruo, this is Mo Chunhua's mother-in-law, my master, and the fourth elder of the Snow Moon Sword Sect. ”
Mo Chunhua looked at this somewhat familiar face, and his eyes suddenly fell on the jade pendant pinned to Mo Xiruo's waist, and suddenly remembered something, "Ruo'er girl, you Ling Zun is Mo Hancheng, Ling Ci is Du Xian'er?" ”
Mo Xiruo was taken aback, this mother-in-law who had just met was so familiar with her parents, and she was surprised, "Mother-in-law knows my parents?"
Mo Chunhua smiled a little sadly, "I'm your aunt." ”
The Mo family is a small family in the martial arts that makes a living by refining medicine, Mo Chunhua and Mo Qinglian were sent to Xueyue Mountain to learn swordsmanship when they were children, and they never came back until they became adults. It wasn't until Mo Qinglian fell off the memorial cliff that Mo Chunyun went home and pleaded with his parents for not taking good care of his sister. Her mother loved Qinglian the most, and when she heard the bad news, she couldn't afford to get sick and died soon after. His father later succeeded the Wang family and gave birth to Lin'er Mo Hancheng. Mo Chunhua saw Mo Hancheng once when his father died, and he didn't like this younger brother who was good at drilling, and he never came back because of his injuries. When Mo Han got married, Mo Chunhua just sent back a pair of jade pendants as a congratulatory gift for the newlyweds. Now Mo Xiruo is wearing the jade pendant that she gave her own hands back then, although nearly 20 years have passed, but she still remembers the pattern on it, that flounder was created by the famous Jade Spirit Workshop back then, which is unique in the world.
Mo Xiruo's eyes widened, "You are Aunt Mo?" I've heard my mother mention you. ”
Mo Chunhua nodded, compared to the love for Situ Nanyun, she didn't have much affection for Mo Xiruo.
Mo Xiruo threw herself into Mo Chunhua's arms with joy, "I finally have an aunt, and I have another relative." ”
Mo Chunhua patted Mo Xiruo's back gently, and was still a little uncomfortable with such a sudden intimate act of this familiar niece.
At this moment, Lin Yuelan stepped forward, with a lazy smile on the corner of her mouth, "I didn't expect that the person I rescued by the way was actually a relative of Senior Mo, and now your aunt and nephew are meeting, it is really a blessing." ”
Mo Chunhua smiled, "It's not the blessing of Prince Lin, since I met Lin Gongzi, my wife has been lucky, first recruited such a lovely apprentice as Yun'er, and now I met my niece Ruo'er, who has never met, and bumped into such good luck, Lin Gongzi won't want my old wife's thank you, right?" ”
"Thank you? I heard that Senior Mo is a good cook, why don't you make a delicious lunch for all of us at noon today, it will be my thank you gift. Lin Yuelan's soul-soothing eyes blinked.
Mo Chunhua smiled and agreed, "Okay, this is good." ”
At noon, Mo Chunhua made a sumptuous meal, including crystal fish fillet, red braised pork belly, steamed pork ribs, stir-fried river shrimp, braised eel in oil, shredded chicken and bamboo shoots, mushroom soup, three fresh fungus silver needle soup and seasonal side dishes. A table of people eat non-stop chopsticks and are full of praise.
"Yun'er, eat another piece of eel, and the girl's family eats eel to nourish blood and beauty." Xu Xifeng became Situ Nanyun's chopsticks, and after Situ Nanyun ate a small hill piled up in the bowl, he added a few more eel segments.
"Okay, Xifeng, you eat more by yourself, I'll just come by myself." Situ Nanyun repeated again.
Mo Xiruo looked at the performance of the two of them "extremely affectionate", and grinned, "Brother Xifeng, Yun'er, you are so affectionate, I envy you so much, you are really a talented and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven." ”
Situ Nanyun was drinking the soup in the bowl at this time, almost choked on the soup, hurriedly wiped her mouth, and was about to express her opinion, Xu Xifeng answered, "Ruo'er girl, thank you for your compliment, you are so ice and snow smart, you will definitely find a husband who loves you in the future." After speaking, he swept his gaze to Lin Yuelan, who was eating lightly in the light wind, intentionally or unintentionally.
Mo Xiruo glanced at Lin Yuelan and lowered her head a little shyly, while Lin Yuelan looked like she didn't care about herself, completely unaffected by their words, and ate by herself.
Inspired by the food, a meal was quickly eaten, but the aftermath of the topics involved during the banquet still echoed in the hearts of the parties.
Situ Nanyun returned to the room with some annoyance and locked herself in the room. In the past few days, she has been practicing her sword hard to distract her chaotic thoughts, but after a lunch, these thoughts and distractions have come back one after another, and she can't escape if she wants to. She sat on the bed, her legs curled, and her mind kept circling the scene between the meals just now, Mo Xiruo's eyes looking at Lin Yuelan with affection made her unbearable, and although Lin Yuelan couldn't see any emotion on his face, he didn't give a denial, maybe he was happy in his heart, according to his endless affection for Mo Xiruo, sooner or later he would marry Mo Xiruo as his wife, and even if he was reincarnated, even if he gave up his life to like him, he was still just a passerby in Lin Yuelan's life, this is the so-called no fate? The so-called life sometimes has to be there, and there is no time in life to force it?
She sat alone until the sun went west, when the weather had changed and the wind was blowing.
When Xu Xifeng came over and called her for dinner, she began to realize that she had been in the house for an afternoon, because she was in a low mood and had no heart to eat, she raised her head buried in her knees, "Xifeng, I'm not hungry, you go eat, I still have some things to do." ”
Xu Xifeng finally knocked on the door and came in, seeing her sluggish appearance, a pair of eyes stared at her with concern, "Do you have something on your mind?" Seeing your sad face, then I won't eat it, and I'll stay with you here. ”
"Xifeng, you hurry up and eat, I ate too much at noon, and I'm still holding on." Situ Nanyun pushed him, afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he patted his stomach.
"I'm not hungry either, or we'll go out on the streets and eat out when we're hungry." Xu Xifeng suggested with a smile.
Situ Nanyun couldn't take Xu Xifeng, so she had to nod and agree, locked herself in the house for an afternoon, and went out to breathe.
The two were about to go out together when they ran into Mo Xiruo, "Ruo'er, you came just in time, you talk to Qingfeng, Yun'er and I will go to the street for a walk, don't wait for us to eat." Xu Xifeng said hello.
"Why don't you take me with you when you go shopping? I'm going too. Mo Xiruo's eyes were shining and full of interest. She has been here for a few days, and she has not gone shopping, and she is curious and wants to go shopping.
"Ruo'er, your body has just recovered, and the weather outside is not good, don't go with us, and after you rest in a few days, I will take you out for a walk." Situ Nanyun persuaded her with good words, she just wanted to avoid her at the moment, all the sorrows in her heart were caused by her, and according to her active nature, she would definitely talk endlessly, which was undoubtedly a sin for her who was already in a bad mood.
"Xiruo, yes, you just stay at home, and there will be a chance to go out and take care of your body in the future." Xifeng echoed casually, he didn't want to miss this hard-won opportunity to go shopping alone with Situ Nanyun.
Mo Xiruo left in a huff and met Qingfeng who was looking forward to it at the door, "Brother Qingfeng, don't wait, Brother Xifeng and Yun'er went out to eat." ”
Naturally, these words also reached Lin Yuelan's ears, he frowned slightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't wait, let's eat." ”
There was a cold wind blowing in the street, and a drizzle of rain drifted in the sky at some point, more cold than the spring rain, and there was a slight stinging pain on people's skin. Xu Xifeng was worried that Situ Nanyun would catch a cold, so he casually turned around a few shops outside, ate a hot meal of mutton crispy bamboo wontons, and the two rushed back.
The red maples in the yard fell to the ground and fluttered in the wind. In Lin Yuelan's study, the jade lamp shone softly and hit the two people in front of the lamp. Mo Xiruo muttered to Lin Yuelan, who was rushing into the letter at this time, "Brother Lan, you've been sitting for half an hour, don't you plan to ignore Ruo'er?" ”
