Chapter 14: The Rules of the Tang Gate

I patiently toasted a circle of tea and received a lot of gifts, but I couldn't get into Baililan's eyes, and after handing them over to the maidservants behind me, I sat quietly in my seat, looking at my nose, nose, mouth, and heart, looking like I couldn't move.

In the face of so many treasures, Baili Lan can still deal with them so indifferently, which made the old master squint his eyes and said in a rough voice: "Although the Tang Sect is not a big family, it also has its own rules, you study more on weekdays, so as not to violate the family rules and suffer from flesh and skin." ”

What is this, intimidation?

Baili Lan lowered her eyebrows, bent the corners of her mouth and smiled, which contained sarcasm and disdain, and when she looked up, all her disdain came to naught, and she looked at the old master, and just nodded her head very obediently.

Seeing that the old man finished speaking, the old lady also put up her shelf and said: "Although when you were in your mother's house, you were also a beautiful lady and gentle and elegant, but there is still a gap between you and us Ling Can." Originally, we could have chosen a girl with a better family background for Ling Can, but there was no way, that kid had a bad temper and took a fancy to you, so you had to do it. Hey, this may be fate, you can marry into the Tang Sect, it is also a kind of fate, but whether this fate can last depends on how you do it. ”

After rolling her eyes, Bai Lilan realized that the old master didn't know about Tang Lingcan's injury, and it seemed that she could use this as a breakthrough.

The old woman's voice fell for a long time, but she didn't see Bai Lilan reacting, and the second lady sitting next to her was already very faceless and laughed, which made her angry, thinking in her heart how to make this dead girl pay the price for today's abruptness.

"Ahem,"

Hearing the coughing sound of the old sect master, Baili Lan raised her head and asked pretending to be confused, "Are you feeling unwell?" I have a way to cure cough, why don't you try it? ”

His face changed abnormally, the old man sat up straight, picked up his chopsticks, and said in an unhappy voice: "Okay, no one has many mouths, eat!" ”

This breakfast was naturally tepid, and if it weren't for Baili Lan's big heart, those colorful eyes would be enough to make her indigestion. And the ladies and ladies saw that she had no scruples at all, like a stupid girl with no heart and lungs, and she couldn't take care of her for a while, so she could only stand still and wait for observation.

Bringing the box of treasures back to his yard, Baili Lan pulled it twice at will, then threw it to his subordinates and said, "You can take it and divide it." ”

"Slaves don't dare!" When they heard this, all the slaves and maidservants fell to their knees, and their faces were full of horror, and they did not have the slightest joy in receiving the treasure.

With her arm on her cheek, Bai Lilan shook the jade ruyi in her hand, as if she didn't realize that breaking this thing meant losing a thousand taels of silver, and said in a leisurely manner: "Let you take it, what's the matter, don't you listen to me?" ”

Among the maidservants, one of the older ones raised his head and explained tremblingly: "It is indeed a blessing for the slaves that the master carries up and loves the slaves and distributes the things they love." But these things are too precious for a lowly life like us to have. If we let the people in the other yards see it, they may think that our hands and feet are not clean, and we deliberately stole the master's things and sold them outside. There has been such a precedent before, and the minions who were rewarded not only did not enjoy the fine clothes and food, but were beaten to death by random sticks! Please spare the slaves and maids! ”

"It's a hassle for a big family!" Throwing that Ruyi aside, Baili Lan picked up another pearl necklace, put it on her body and gestured, and said, "Okay, since you don't want it, then put these things away." ”

"Yes."

Seeing that this moody master finally changed his mind, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

Moving his waist, Baili Lan asked casually, "By the way, do you know where the young master is cultivating?" ”

"Inside a small bamboo hut behind a palm grove."

"Shut up!"

As soon as a little maid was about to speak, she was stopped by the old maid just now. After the maid finished speaking, she found that Bai Lilan was staring at her coldly, and then she knelt down in front of Bai Lilan and said earnestly: "Young lady, the slaves and maids all want to follow you wholeheartedly, so there are some words, even if the slaves and maids are out of proportion, you have to be bold to speak!" ”

Thinking that this servant girl was a little interesting, Bai Lilan tilted her head and smiled: "Then you can talk about it." ”

"Yes." Slowly raising her head, the maid looked at Bai Lilan, and said clearly, "Young lady, in the Tang Sect, a woman's duty is to pass on the ancestry, teach her husband and children, and never touch the poison technique. This rule has been handed down from the time of our ancestors, and no one knows why, but it has been followed from generation to generation. The young lady has also seen Miss Shanshan, I don't know if you have noticed, how is she different from others? ”

Bai Lilan did see that Tang Shanshan was a little abnormal, but if she wanted to say what was different, she would feel that this girl was just a little bigger-hearted and didn't have so many eyes.

Sensing Bai Lilan's suspicion, the maidservant continued, "You must think that Miss Shanshan is a kind of unspeakable strangeness, right? That's because Miss Shanshan loves poison and secretly cultivates, which has caused her to be not crazy or demonic today. The doctor also came to see it, but everything was normal and there was no physical pain. The only explanation for this is that women can't touch poison arts, and all martial arts sects in the Tang Sect can't be touched, otherwise they will be like Miss Shanshan! The slave dared to beg the young lady not to give up her happiness because she was curious! After speaking, the maid buried her head deeply and bowed to Baili Lan.

With her fingers supporting her jaw, Bai Lilan looked at the maid's neatly combed bun and asked faintly, "What's your name?" ”

"Slave, Jinshan."

"Jinshan...... From today onwards, you will be by my side. ”

“…… Be! ”

In the eyes of a group of servants, envy or jealousy, Baili Lan helped up Jinshan, her eyes were gentle and kind, without the sharpness of the past, like a warm spring breeze, blowing into people's hearts.

Looking at such a gaze, Jin Shan had a moment of dodge, but then, it was her resolute and decisive gaze that met Baili Lan.

***

After the wedding banquet, the guests are ready to go home. But Nangong Jingchen still used the excuse of being unwell and stayed in the Tang Sect for one more day. People who don't understand the inside story may think that King Lanling is not accustomed to the water and soil and falls ill; Those who know a little bit of the inside story will think that the king of Lanling conspired with the Tang Sect and planned to form an alliance to overthrow the emperor of Beining.

However, He Che knew very well that the reason why his master would stay cheekily had nothing to do with his body or power, just for the sake of the woman who looked like the princess.

That's the daughter-in-law who just married back, and the prince just made up his mind, if this is known by the people of the Tang Sect, let alone cooperation, there will definitely be all kinds of people who will hunt down and kill the Lanling Mansion in the future.

For this, He Che said evilly, hoping to persuade the prince to give up this terrible idea, but King Lanling was like eating a scale, and he didn't have the slightest intention of changing his mind.

Seeing that King Lanling was so determined, He Che could only sacrifice his life to accompany him.

It's just that even if you stay because of physical discomfort, how many chances can you have to meet the young master's wife? The newlywed Yan'er must be with the young master, you and me, otherwise they will stay in the courtyard, and make a look like they don't go out of the gate, after all, there are few people in the world like the princess, who dare to leave as soon as they get married, and there is no evasion at all.

Seeing that He Che was listless, Nangong Jingchen coughed twice and asked, "Ahem, what, do you think this king is doing something stupid?" ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave just feels sorry for the prince. It's not fair that the princess left you to suffer in this world! ”

"Heh, where is there anything fair in this world, I couldn't save Lan'er that day, is it fair to her?"

"But you are ...... lord"

Nangong Jingchen closed his eyes, waved his hand back, and said as if he was a little tired: "Okay, I don't want to listen to this now." ”

Just when the master and servant were at a stalemate, a strong-suited guard walked to Nangong Jingchen's side and whispered: "Back to the prince, the young master's wife and the old master and others had breakfast, and then went back to the room, and now they are taking people to walk in the garden and bask in the sun." ”

After hearing the news, Nangong Jingchen's face had a trace of expectation, but this expectation made the people who saw it feel desperate, because this expectation did not expect return, maybe even Nangong Jingchen himself knew that he was living in the world of the painting, after all, one day, the painting would be extinguished, the dream would wake up, and when the time came, what would happen to him?

Coughing twice, Nangong Jingchen said in a weak tone: "Let's go, even if it's an illusion, this king has to go and take a look." ”

When there are so many illusions that you can confuse the real with the false, it is the end of your life.

Looking at the lonely back of King Lanling, He Che sighed softly, lamenting why he wanted his master to be an amorous species, and he was very unlucky, falling in love with Baili Lan who had no heart? This world is indeed unfair!

This Jin Shan is indeed the old man of the Tang Sect, and he has a deep and thorough understanding of the Tang Sect, which makes Baili Lan have a deeper understanding of the Tang Sect. But in the chat with Jinshan, Bai Lilan never mentioned the alchemy record, but often asked what the young master liked, what the old master liked, and what the ladies and wives liked.

In order to leave a capable impression on his master, Jin Shan took the initiative to explain all the things that the masters hated and avoided after returning to Baililan's question.

After talking about this, Jin Shan was waiting for the master's praise, but he didn't think about it, and when he looked up, he saw Bai Lilan leaning on the bench, closing his eyes and resting.

Reluctantly, he took out a cloak and gently covered Baili Lan's body, then took a few steps back and stood quietly.
