Liang Qingshan and Li Qingtong Huaqinglou floated down to the foot of Miaomen Peak, and the three of them went straight to the Nai He City in front of them.

"Seventeen, it's at your door, why don't you go home and take a look?" Liang Qingshan asked with concern.

"It's important to pursue the sixth and eighth senior brothers, let's go straight ahead, right?" Li Qingtong replied indifferently.

"It's not bad for this day or two, you won't learn from King Yu who used to control the water, and you won't enter the house three times, right?" Liang Qingshan said with a smile.

"That's it, I still want to visit the famous Zhennan General Ning Guohou Mansion in this city? You won't be so stingy that you don't even want to take care of a meal, right? Listen to the 'food for the sky', the 'burnt roasted milk smelling phosphine' made by the chef in your house is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fragrance is overflowing, which is a unique in the world! I have never tasted it?" Hua Qinglou continued.

Li Qingtong had no choice but to shout loudly: "Let's go! Then go back to the house and have a big meal." ”

Since Li Qingtong entered the mountain, these senior brothers and disciples of the "Qing" generation, who go down the mountain, love to settle down in the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, pass a message and bring back some delicious food by the way? When he gradually became the leader of his disciples, he felt even more proud. On the contrary, Li Qingtong rarely comes back, only once or twice a year, and rarely spends the night in the house, most of them come and go on the same day, coming and going in a hurry, so that his mother scolded him in front of him for being a wolf lamb who does not love his family.

The three of them came to the main gate of the Hou Mansion after a while. The main entrance is tall and majestic, and there is a big blue plaque hanging on it, with four gilded characters on it: "Zhennan General Ning Guohou". Outside the door, there are two tall white marble lions squatting on both sides, and there are two mighty cross-sword guards standing at the door. The guards recognized Li Qingtong, hurriedly saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Welcome the third prince back to the mansion! Welcome the two immortal envoys to the mansion!" One of them rushed to the mansion to deliver the news. The three of them walked through the mansion and entered the middle courtyard of the mansion, and saw Mrs. Xu standing at the door of the main house to greet them from a distance. Next to the lady stood a beautiful woman who was neither tall nor short, her demeanor seemed to be humble and submissive like a girl, but she was wearing a gorgeous skirt, looking like a weak willow supporting the wind from a distance, and she didn't look like a girl ring from the clothes, which couldn't help but attract the attention of Liang Qingshan and Hua Qinglou, of course Li Qingtong knew that it was Meng Jiang.

"Mother!"

Li Qingtong shouted and walked forward.

Madame hurriedly took his hand and looked at it, and said happily, "The wolf lamb has grown taller again!" and then beckoned: "Two immortal envoys, please!"

Li Qingtong said: "This is the fifth senior brother I often mention to you, the Liang Immortal Envoy who took me up the mountain, you have seen it." This one is my fifteenth senior brother Hua Qinglou. ”

Liang Qingshan said: "Madam, don't be so polite, just call me Qingshan." ”

"I've seen Madame!" Hua Qinglou waved her hand and saluted, "Madame is elegant and clear, her demeanor is kind and graceful, and she is like a fairy queen mother." ”

"Thank you, little brother, for your praise. Let them serve tea!"

"I'll just come, ma'am!" replied Meng Jiang, a girl who was a little slender and weak.

"Don't start these chores in the future, just call those two little girls in Xia He and Dongmei. Madame said.

"I'm used to it, ma'am, and I'm idle anyway, and I'm not tired. ”

After Meng Jiang finished speaking, he went down to prepare tea. Liang Qingshan and Hua Qinglou couldn't help but look at her two more times, especially Hua Qinglou, the slanted tail light kept staring at her until her curling figure disappeared before it was withdrawn. This girl is not particularly delicate and outstanding just by looking at her eyebrows, mouth and nose, but these facial features are combined and combined on her face, but they exude an indescribable charm, coupled with the weak figure and curling steps, there is really a feeling of pity for me.

The lady accompanied the three of them to chat over fragrant tea, and Miss Meng Jiang still stood respectfully behind the lady.

"Liang Gongzi, where are you three going?" asked Madame lightly. She still called him Liang Immortal at first, but Qingshan hurriedly thanked him and refused to be called so, so Mrs. changed her words.

"Two junior disciples went down the mountain before, and there was no news for half a year, so the head arranged for us to go down the mountain to find it. Liang Qingshan replied.

"The two junior brothers you are talking about, but Ma Gongzi and Wan Gongzi of the Qingyang faction?" asked Mrs. Xu.

Liang Qingshan said: "Exactly, how did Madam know?"

Mrs. Xu said: "After the two of them came down the mountain, they settled here and headed west, probably five months ago, right?"

"What happened to Big Brother Wan and Big Brother Ma?" Meng Jiang suddenly interjected anxiously.

Liang Qingshan turned his face to look at Miss Meng Jiang, and was a little inexplicable when he saw that she was anxious, so he said: "There is no accident, it's just that there has been no news for half a year." ”

"It's been half a year and there hasn't been any news, isn't this worrying?" Meng Jiang said again.

Madame said, "I forgot to introduce you." This is my righteous daughter Meng Jiang, who used to be a maid in our house, not to mention her beautiful and moving, the key is that she has a good heart, behaves well, and has a special tenacity. I gave birth to three children who are all cultivating outside, and I can't count on them, one winter I contracted a serious illness with a cold and a high fever that has been bedridden for ten days, but she is carefully served by her. After recovering from her illness, she chose an auspicious day and accepted her as a righteous daughter. ”

When Li Qingtong heard this, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, stared at his wife's thin lines and faint face, and said, "It's all children who are not filial!" Two tears poured out inexplicably.

Madame sighed and said, "Mother doesn't complain about you! A good man has ambitions in all directions! Practice and enlighten the Tao! As long as you are successful, you will be at ease for your mother." ”

Li Qingtong asked: "Is my father still busy with official business in the front office?"

Mrs. said: "No, the seventy-two island countries in the East China Sea have not been peaceful recently, press the gourd up and scoop up, this is not a rebellion in the Sang country, your father and the marquis led the fleet of sailors to quell the chaos, and just left the day before yesterday." Will you be able to stay at home for two nights this time?"

Li Qingtong originally wanted to say that he would leave after lunch, but when he saw the mother's affectionate look, he still changed his mind and said, "Let's stay overnight! Let's leave tomorrow!

Liang Qingshan said: "It's no problem to stay for a few nights, anyway, more than five months have passed, and it's not bad for these two days and three days." ”

Mrs. said: "I patronize Si'er, I forgot about your big things, you stay here for a night, and set off tomorrow!"

Liang Qingshan said: "Thank you for your understanding!"

Mrs. said: "There is one thing, let's tell you first! Last time Wan Gongzi and Ma Gongzi went down the mountain and passed by our mansion, Wan Gongzi and my daughter Jiang Er were very close to each other, it can be said that they were in love. Liang Gongzi is the descendant disciple of the current head of the Qingyang faction, the famous fifth senior brother, and we happened to meet today, so I will tell you first!"

Liang Qingshan said: "We Daozang disciples don't shy away from marriage and love. The two are happy, Qin Se and Ming, it is all in accordance with nature and the harmony of heaven and earth, the heads and masters will not only not stop it, but will also vigorously support it, not to mention the daughter, beauty and generosity of the Hou Mansion?"

The lady said: "I have heard of this, so I dare to make decisions for them!"

Liang Qingshan said: "Congratulations to Mrs. Meng Jiang!"

Meng Jiang's face was already crimson with shame next to him, like a spring apricot blooming, which was even more delicate and moving.

Xiao Fifteen Hua Qinglou said with a smile: "Starling is really blessed, all the good things have been stained with him, such a beautiful and moving girl, why can't I meet it?"

Miss Meng Jiang was even more ashamed, and hurriedly said, "Madam, I'll go and tell them to prepare the meal first." With that, he hurriedly retreated.

The dinner was very rich, except for the long-term 'burnt roasted milk smelling phosphine' that Huaqinglou had been gluttonous for a long time, the others were halo matching, the color and flavor were good, and the low-alcohol wine "Xinghuahong" was prepared, Liang Qingshan and the other three sat down with Mrs. Xu and Miss Meng Jiang. Mrs. sat in the center, with Liang Qingshan and Hua Qinglou on the right, and Li Qingtong and Meng Jiang on the left. The five of them chatted over a drink.

Li Qingtong was next to his mother on the right and Meng Jiang on the left, Meng Jiang was the most familiar with him, and naturally he had the most words, and he talked about Wan Qingye while chatting.

It turned out that after the sixth horse Qinghe and the old eighty thousand Qingye came down the mountain, they came to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion in the city as usual to play a swing. Mrs. Xu was naturally warm and hospitable, but she had to follow the Hou Ye out of the house for a day in an emergency, so she ordered the righteous daughter Meng Jiang to entertain the guests on her behalf, and repeatedly told the two immortal envoys to stay in the Hou Mansion for a night, and then leave after returning tomorrow morning.

Since the founding of Emperor Gaozu, the Dahua Dynasty has governed the country according to Huang Lao's Taoism as the foundation, and when Emperor Wu put forward the slogan of "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", Confucianism has been raised to a new historical high. For young women in the world, marrying a Confucian or Taoist has become a beautiful dream and eternal pursuit in the hearts of young girls. Confucianism is respected, imitated and learned, while Taoism is curious. Yearning and pursuit; this is like the two great poets of later generations of Du Fu and Li Bai, Du Fu's full of learning and Confucianism makes the world respect and learn, although the imitators are difficult to beat, but they are too many to mention; Li Bai's fairy wind bones make future generations curious and yearning, there are countless admirers, but it is difficult to imitate and learn, he is the eternal dream and high rod ruler in the hearts of the star chasers, so that when he is frustrated and lonely, there is the daughter of the prime minister who willingly follows him and wants to follow him to the earth. It's just that Ma Qinghe is introverted, doesn't speak much, and his demeanor is a little majestic, which makes people feel that they can only watch and look up from afar and can't play closely, and it is difficult to produce harmony and interest; The distance between him and an ordinary star-chasing enthusiast has been shortened all of a sudden, not to mention that the two of them are really facing each other now? And Wan Qingye was also deeply attracted by Meng Jiang's fragile image, so he didn't care what kind of young lady or Yahuan was? As long as he ignited the fire in his heart, he would burn fiercely. The impression of the two when they met for the first time was very good, they were deeply attracted to each other, and they both felt a little late when they saw each other, which is probably what the world calls love at first sight. So much so that Ma Qinghe sensed the spark between the two and found a reason to dodge.

"Miss Meng, do you really want to learn the exercises?" Wan Qingye saw the eagerness in her euphemistic words.

"Of course, Master Wan, I envy you cultivators, all of whom know how to practice. ”

"Exercises and magical powers are not something that can be learned overnight, I see that your body is thinner, so I will pass on some of your internal strength and mental methods to strengthen your body!"

"Thank you, Big Brother Wan!" Meng Jiang happily said a blessing.

Wan Qingye then taught her a set of the most basic internal strength methods that were semi-public in the cultivation realm, teaching her how to concentrate and sit on the Dao, and refine and transform qi. Meng Jiang was overjoyed. Wan Qingye taught her a set of the most basic boxing routines for her to practice and keep fit, and told her to insist on sitting on the Tao every day, practicing every day, and persevering to produce results.

"Jiang Er remembered!"

Although Meng Jiang said it gently and elegantly, he secretly made a strong determination in his heart.

After lunch, Wan Qingye followed Meng Jiang to the back garden of the Hou Mansion. But see that this garden is not very big, but the jade stone pavilion in the garden, the wooden pavilion water pavilion, the green trees and red flowers, the blue waves and green lotus, there is also a clear and beautiful beauty, especially through the fence from afar, you can see the verdant Qingyang Mountain Yumai mountain forest in the distance, and the vision is much more open.

"Brother Wan, can you tell me your previous story?" Meng Jiang asked timidly.

"There was no story before!" Wan Qingye said lightly.

"Who doesn't have the previous ones? You are a great star of cultivation? The previous stories must be very exciting. ”

"There's really no such thing as a great story. ”

"Then tell me about your past, about when you were a child, about when you were a teenager. ”

"What was I like when I was a child?" Wan Qingye muttered to himself.
