Chapter Thirty-Six: The Disciple Who Gets in the Way

Most of the days in March are sunny and warm. On the road to Wenchang Lane in the capital, Su Zhaoning and Su Jinyu walked side by side. Su Jinyu held a long brocade box in his hand, and he asked Su Zhaoning beside him, "Second sister, are you bored?" ”

Su Zhaoning pursed his lips and smiled, and said to Su Jinyu: "Accompanying my eldest brother to choose pen and ink, how can I be bored." In the past, even if you wanted to compare it in such detail, you couldn't. ”

When Su Jinyu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Su Zhaoning in her heart. He knew that the four princes no longer pursued the others in the Chang'an Marquis Mansion that day, but it was only because the jade pendant was given by the four princes themselves. The fourth prince knew in his heart that without this favor, Su Zhenyi would not be able to make that calculation.

Su Jinyu's heart is also as bright as a mirror is that he knows that he himself is also one of the accomplices.

Outside, the third sister won the favor of the fourth prince, and inside, the third sister also moved him. If it weren't for this, why would a third sister who grew up outside the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an impress the fourth sister and form an alliance with the other party to deal with the second sister.

In addition, because Su Zhaoning really made a contribution to the long-term wishful thinking, Su Jinyu was happy to find something, which could not only help Su Zhaoning, but also indirectly block the stubble of the people in the second room for her.

He said: "This time it's really going to trouble the second sister." I'm new to the household department, and I'm busy with official business. But Qingming is coming, and those sacrificial texts were originally copied by me, but now I can only trouble you. ”

"Big brother is too polite." Su Zhaoning naturally understood Su Jinyu's painstaking intentions.

She appreciated: "Zhao Ning knows that the eldest brother is doing this for my good." Zhaoning will definitely live up to the expectations of his big brother. ”

When Su Jinyu heard this, he felt even more that his feelings that day were not wrong. Among the eight younger sisters, in addition to the eldest girl born by the first mother, only the second sister is the most similar to him.

He gradually had a good impression of Su Zhaoning in his heart, and he walked into the bookstore he was used to without hesitation.

"Shopkeeper, has the Huizhou Yan I set has arrived?" Su Jinyu asked.

The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and replied enthusiastically, "It's here." There are only ten of these inkstones, and today there is only the one you set. If I hadn't paid the deposit a long time ago, I wouldn't have been able to keep this one. ”

When Su Zhaoning heard this, he was a little curious. She asked, "What is so unique about this inkstone that is so sought-after?" ”

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "I praise the heavens for this apparent quality, and you may not believe it when you are guests." The benefits of Huizhou Sheyan are still good at calligraphy, and you can only know by trying it yourself. ”

The shopkeeper was selling Guanzi, but Su Jinyu, who was the elder brother, was rarely patient. He explained to Su Zhaoning on the side: "She Yan is very good at ink, slippery and does not refuse to write, and does not stagnate the pen, which is sought after by literati. ”

Su Zhaoning nodded, although he had only heard about it, he also understood the preciousness of Sheyan.

I saw that the shopkeeper gave Su Jinyu the inkstone to check, and then carefully put it into the box. In addition to the silk in the box, the shopkeeper also carefully filled the small box with a lot of soft fabric.

After wrapping the inkstone in a foolproof manner, the shopkeeper handed it to Su Jinyu's hand.

Su Jinyu took the inkstone, but handed it to Su Zhaoning.

"It's a good inkstone, the second sister has to work hard during this time, so use it." After he finished speaking, he asked the shopkeeper, "What kind of delicate paperweight style is there?" ”

The shopkeeper was busy with a plate full of jade, yellowstone and other textured paperweights.

After Su Jinyu looked at it, she asked, "Can there be food shapes, such as chestnuts?" ”

The shopkeeper was very surprised by this request, and could only say: "It can take some time to order two." ”

"Then make a chestnut-like one, what does the second sister think?" Su Jinyu looked down at Su Zhaoning next to her.

Su Zhaoning looked up at her eldest brother, and made sure that there was no joke in the other party's eyes.

"It's good if the big brother likes it." Su Zhaoning could only answer like this.

Su Jinyu explained: "It's not for me, it's for the second sister." I remember when you were a kid you loved to eat chestnut cakes. ”

Su Zhaoning listened, and a trace of indescribable emotion slipped through his heart. It's like a small stream of water in a hot spring, flowing through the heart in a very small and thin way. But it's not annoying.

There was joy in her voice that she didn't even notice, and Su Zhaoning said, "Then according to what the eldest brother said." ”

Out of the door of the bookstore, the two brothers and sisters didn't say anything for the time being, but the expressions of the two of them seemed to be much better than when they first came out of the Chang'an Hou Mansion.

For Su Zhaoning, this is something she has always been reluctant to admit, but she is still looking forward to.

People, living in this world, are always greedy for the warmth from their relatives. Even if it's just a little bit.

For Su Jinyu, for the first time, he felt that the second sister was no different from his eldest sister. They are all little girls who need care and are easy to satisfy.

Just as the two siblings were basking in this small satisfaction, a voice disrupted their thoughts.

"Girl, do you want a fortune teller?"

I saw a fortune teller dressed in white and holding a banner blocking the way of the two.

Su Jinyu subconsciously stepped forward and blocked Su Zhaoning behind her. He wanted to reprimand the charlatan who suddenly appeared, but when he saw the other party's face clearly, he took back his words.

Anyone who saw a young man who was only thirteen or fourteen years old holding up a high banner and coming out to beg for a living would be embarrassed to immediately reprimand.

In particular, Su Jinyu is already a nineteen-year-old official of the DPRK and China.

He felt that he shouldn't bully a child.

"Take the money and buy something to eat." Su Jinyu took out some broken silver from the purse around her waist and handed it over.

The fortune teller raised his head, looked at Su Jinyu with an innocent face, and said, "This lord, I have no fate with you today. I'm destined for this girl behind you. ”

If it weren't for such an immature baby face who said this, Su Jinyu would have taught the disciple a lesson.

But this little warlock is not low in height, but his face is really immature.

If you take a closer look, Su Jinyu will suspect that maybe the other party is not thirteen or fourteen years old.

Perhaps, ten years old?

"Even if you're young, you shouldn't be a street stopper." Su Jinyu educated the young man in front of him.

The young man thrust the banner to the side, stroked his smooth chin, and said, "The old man is eighty and seven this year, and you say that I am young, but it is a little inappropriate." ”

"At a young age, you just talk like this, what else do you say about knowing the destiny of heaven?" Su Jinyu frowned and glanced at the words on the young man's banner.

"I know the destiny of heaven, her destiny and your destiny, but you don't know my destiny." The boy shook his head and replied.

He stretched out his hand, suddenly pointed at Su Zhaoning behind Su Jinyu, and said, "The girl is ranked first below your father's knees, but she is second in front of your brother, yes or no?" ”

Su Zhaoning looked at the white-clothed young man in front of him. The boy was not as small as his face suggested. Even if he was blocked by her nineteen-year-old eldest brother Su Jinyu, the teenager could still show his head from Su Jinyu's side.

And the young man saw that Su Zhaoning was just looking at him, so he looked at Su Jinyu in front of him with a smile, and said, "Originally, I didn't want to give you a face, but if you don't say a few words, you will definitely not believe me." You are nineteen years old, and when you were five years old, you fell into the water and had a serious illness. You joined the company at the age of fifteen, and not long ago, you were promoted. ”

The young man raised his head and said to Su Jinyu with some pride: "How is it, believe it?" If it weren't for the sake of doing a good deed every day, I wouldn't have stopped your sister from telling her fortune. ”

Su Jinyu didn't believe this young man very much, but when the other party repeatedly told him about his experience with his second sister, he was slightly shaken.

Su Jinyu turned her head and looked at Su Zhaoning.

Su Zhaoning's gaze fell on the young man's hand holding the flag. She raised her eyebrows, and said to the young man with a sparkling gaze: "You had a serious illness when you were three years old, and then you met a noble person to help you and have been worry-free. Three months ago, you had a bloody disaster, but you survived it safely. Also, you are not eighty-seven, but seventeen. How's that, am I right? ”

The young man opened his mouth wide, almost stuffing an egg in his mouth, and he said to Su Zhaoning: "You are so talented, why don't you worship me as a teacher?" ”

Even Su Jinyu next to her was also surprised.

Su Zhaoning shook his head with a smile and replied, "The century-old foundation of Changmingguan can't afford it for a female streamer. Besides, if you want to take me as an apprentice, have you asked the Heavenly Machine Dao Master? ”

Nowadays, the saints believe in Taoism, and the capital is especially prosperous. The most famous Taoist temple is the Changming Temple, which has been around for more than a hundred years. Of course, Su Jinyu, the master of the Heavenly Machine Dao of the Changming Temple, had heard of it, but he didn't expect that the only disciple of the Heavenly Machine Dao Master would look so young.

"Then second sister, you can let this little Taoist master do the math." Su Jinyu had heard the name of the Heavenly Machine Dao Master since he was a child, and naturally had a little more confidence in his disciple.

In this way, this may still be an opportunity for the second sister.

However, Su Zhaoning, who had noticed all kinds of news more than Su Jinyu, had not only heard the name of the Heavenly Machine Dao Master, but also heard the name of this disciple who had entered the room, and he wanted to cry without tears at this time.

She regretted revealing the other party's identity.

You must know why she knows this little Taoist master, because she has heard in the casual conversation of the female dependents, the cultivation fortune of the disciple and the master are completely different!

The Dao Master of Tianji is a fairy wind Dao bone and a lean Dao technique, but this little Dao Leader has the name of "Crow's Mouth"!

The crow's mouth is the good and the bad.

Su Zhaoning asked with great struggle: "Can you bother the little Taoist to test me a word?" ”

"Of course!" The young man in white replied to Su Zhaoning loudly, and then enthusiastically took out a pen and a piece of paper from the long cloth bag on his waist, handed them over, and said, "Second Miss Su, please write a word." ”

Word measurement is better than fortune telling. After all, words should only be for the luck of a moment and an event, right?

Su Zhaoning decided to choose the thing he didn't care about the most to ask.

"Chief, please help me calculate, will I be able to sleep peacefully tonight?"

Let's test, let's test! The worst thing is that I can't sleep tonight!

Su Zhaoning was very relieved and wrote the word "An" on the paper.

Su Jinyu clenched the brocade box in her hand a little sourly.

He, the second sister, is too easy to satisfy. As long as he can get a good night's sleep, he will have to take care of her more in the future.
