Chapter 383: Self-restraint by action
Xiao Qingyun heard Lan Jing'an tell the story of how to visit Guo Qingtian, and immediately guessed that this should be Guo Qingtian's original residence. He saw Ahri weeping silently at the empty bookcase, and his heart also mourned for her. He spoke out to persuade her: "Ahri, don't cry." Let's help Mr. Qingtian carry forward his thoughts and learning, which is the greatest consolation to him. ”
Lan Jing'an straightened up, leaned on Xiao Qingyun's arms, and whimpered quietly: "Mr. has taught me a lot. Without him, maybe I wouldn't have been able to get out of Gangneung Fortress in the first place. Why did I meet him so late and lose his teachings so quickly? What the world loses is a true wise man, and the one who leaves me is the only friend who will call me a young friend. ”
Xiao Qingyun put his arm around her shoulders and patted her one by one. He comforted her as he watched her words carefully. No Min? Where did this strange name come from? It seems that he should also pay more attention to the time when she lived alone in Gangneung.
When Lan Jing'an finished talking about the little life she had studied with Mr. Qingtian here, the sadness in her heart finally melted away. Brother Qingyun just listened to her alone throughout the whole process, but he gave her infinite warmth and support. "Brother Qingyun..."Lan Jing'an finally called Xiao Qingyun's name.
Xiao Qingyun answered: "Huh? ”
Lan Jing'an rubbed his face, which was no longer teardropped, against Xiao Qingyun's chest, feeling his heartbeat, and whispered, "Thank you." Xiao Qingyun didn't answer, but hugged her tighter.
The two of them hugged quietly for a while before leaving the thatched cottage and returning to the other side of the woods. Lan Jing'an's emotions were ironed out, he calmed down again, and he didn't want to run away, and honestly followed Xiao Qingyun back to the Taiping Palace to prepare for the restoration ceremony.
Feng Yan was naturally very positive about many matters in the restoration ceremony, but she was extremely disapproving of the marriage of Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an. Even at this point, she still adhered to the ancient precepts of Si Ming, she not only opposed it herself, but also called on a group of former ministers of the Qianguo to take turns to persuade Lan Jingan and Xiao Qingyun three times and five times.
Lan Jing'an was okay there, and every time he said gently that he would consider it carefully, and only emphasized that he would complete the restoration ceremony first and then talk about other things.
Xiao Qingyun is not so good-tempered. He tolerated Feng Yan before, one for the sake of the loyalty of the Feng family, and the other out of respect for the position of Si Ling. But Feng Yan's actions like this ultimately challenged Xiao Qingyun's patience. He didn't say anything else, he singled out her to help Xie Weining send Yin Quan to Chen Liu, and deliberately told Feng Yan about Lan Jing'an's pain when she was in love with her. A hat that united with outsiders to hurt Da Si Ming really made Feng Yan shut up, and made Xiao Qingyun's ears a lot clearer all of a sudden.
The days slipped by, and the restoration ceremony was getting closer and closer. A few days after Mr. Qingtian's death, Lan Jing'an was finally officially informed by Xiao Qingyun that the envoys of the Xia State would arrive in Jiangling on August 12, but the other party did not specify who would be sent.
Around August 10, envoys from all over the world began to arrive in Gangneung one after another, and the city was bustled with people coming and going, and every household began to put up lanterns to make final preparations for the restoration ceremony. As the protagonist of the restoration ceremony, Lan Jingan did not ask about state affairs for the time being, and carefully practiced many etiquettes of the restoration ceremony in the Shen mansion every day.
On August 12, the day when the envoys of the Xia State were scheduled to arrive in Jiangling, Xiao Qingyun specially sent Bai Qingfeng to meet him at the gate of the city. No matter how much the Xia State had a relationship with the Qianguo and Dayong, in this Yongqian War, with the Xia State's former truce and grain borrowing behavior, the envoys of the Xia State were eligible to receive the highest level of courtesy from the Qianguo.
"Da Si Ming, do you want to rest for a while?" In the Shen Mansion, Feng Yan reminded Lan Jing'an loudly. Feng Yan didn't know what was wrong with Da Si Ming's today, she never made a mistake in the most complicated prayers on weekdays, but today she paused several times.
Bi Luan had long seen Lan Jing'an's absent-mindedness, and she knew very well what she was thinking. She asked Si Zhu to bring Lan Jing'an jujube honey water to moisten her throat, and asked Feng Yan to go to the front hall to rest first. Then he spoke out to comfort Lan Jing'an: "Girl, don't you practice today, right?" Anyway, Feng Shen should come back in a while. ”
Only in the face of Biluan did Lan Jing'an dare to reveal the entanglement in his heart: "Biluan, I'm afraid." Bi Luan heard the girl who had always been invincible say this, and her heart was shocked. She pulled Lan Jing'an indoors, asked her to sit down, and asked her softly, "You still can't put it down?" ”
Lan Jing'an showed a bitter expression: "No. I just don't want to face it. He showed up, and I'm sorry for him. If he doesn't show up, I will fear for his life. ”
Bi Luan complained in her heart and reminded her: "After the restoration ceremony, it is the post." You have to think it through. ”
Lan Jing'an lowered his head and muttered softly: "A person like me is really unworthy of anyone." ”
Bi Luan was anxious when she heard this, this Jiangling is really an evil sect, why is the girl in the wrong state as soon as she arrives? She scratched her ears and cheeks in a hurry, and she didn't care about her humility, and her words were fierce: "What kind of foolish words are you talking about?" Remember, you owe no one. You are a holy priestess, the lifeblood of the Qianguo. ”
Lan Jing'an laughed at herself, yes, she is the lifeblood of Qianguo. She is from Qianguo, not Xia, so she must not be tempted by him. She is the last goddess of the Siming clan, so does she really want to disobey the ancient teachings of the Siming and bring him unknown dangers? What could she do? She doesn't want to hurt anyone, and in the end, I'm afraid that she will hurt everyone again to be considered the end.
Lan Jing'an lowered her eyes, not wanting Bi Luan to see the gloom in her eyes at this time. When Lan Jing Anfu raised his head again, he had already changed to a calm and warm expression again: "You're right, it's me who wants to be crooked." Wait for me to drink saliva, you can go and invite Aunt Feng over. If you stop practicing today, you may have something to say in the future. ”
Bi Luan carefully observed her expression, and saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, so she breathed a sigh of relief and went out to invite Feng Yan.
Feng Yan found that Lan Jing'an had rested for a while, and indeed there were no more mistakes, and she was very satisfied. The restoration ceremony can be said to be the most important event in this dynasty, and it is estimated that it will be like this for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. Presiding over the ceremony is a supreme honor, but also a great responsibility. Although the Great Priest was young and had not had time to learn about the Celestial Clan before, she was doing so well now that she was fully responsible for the sacred duties that God had given her.
Outside the gate of Gangneung, the autumn wind stroked the robes of all the officials, leaving a rustling sound. Bai Qingfeng saw a long group of people coming along the avenue towards the city gate from a distance. He was dressed and knew it was time to see.
When Bai Qingfeng saw the one carried by twenty-eight people, he sighed in his heart, he still came when he should have come. He took a deep breath, put on a smiling face, and greeted him.
