Chapter 55: Magnolia

Song Yi couldn't hold back his laughter, this old boy is short-guarded, hard-mouthed, awkward, and arrogant, in the final analysis, he seems to be a little cute. Compared with his father, Gao Zhan is much worse, after all, he is the master of the house, and he mixes in the shopping mall, he has seen a lot of wind and waves, and he knows the truth of being able to bend and stretch.

He changed his attitude at this point, afraid that he was going to say something else.

There was silence in the room for a while, Song Yi waited for Father Gao to speak, but Father Gao's mouth seemed to be pinched by pliers, and he didn't say a word until the servant brought the tea and snacks, and after both of them drank half a cup, Father Gao sighed and said in a low voice: "Have you heard about your senior brother's last visit to my house?"

"I've heard a little. ”

Song Yi remembered how the little senior brother became attached to the Gao family: he helped the Gao family repel the enemies who came to provoke and retrieve the ancestral relics. Who this enemy is, Song Yi doesn't know, but looking at the attitude of the Wang family today, especially when Gao Cheng mentions them, it seems to be a little budding.

"Hmm...... Bad fate, deserving it is also bad fate, let my Gao family hit their hands again. ”

Father Gao stared at a blooming magnolia flower in the courtyard through the open window, and said slowly: "When the family encountered a crisis, please show the will of heaven, saying that it should be on the young hero of the Yuequan Sect, so I asked for the permission of the head of your family and sent Bai Shaoxia, and everything was solved smoothly." However, the other party also has a back hand, and finally met today......"

"What are you talking about?"

Father Gao didn't answer, turned his head to look at Song Yi, and asked seriously, "What is the difference between your cultivation and your senior brother?"

"This ...... It's a bit worse. ”

This question is a bit delicate, Song Yi really doesn't know how big a gap there is between himself and the junior brother, but according to the side feedback of the other disciples, it should be between Mo Qingning. Mo Qingning can defeat himself in one move, and the little senior brother will not be bad.

"...... like this"

Hearing his answer, Father Gao looked a little disappointed, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "In that case, you better go back and leave through the back door while it's dark, as if you never came." You're young, you don't have to compromise here, and when you go back, you just bring a letter to Gao Zhan, and I have something to explain to him......"

"What?" Song Yi was stunned, this sound a little wrong: "What does uncle mean, why do you want to drive me back to the mountain? Isn't the old man's farewell ceremony not yet starting? I heard that it will be tomorrow morning?"

"It's too late to leave tomorrow. Father Gao's expression was gloomy, his hand holding the teacup trembled, and a few droplets of water splashed out and splashed on the table, "Those people come prepared, if they attack in advance...... You're a hairy boy, you can't afford to be here. ”

β€œ...... What's the matter, something is going to happen to the Gao family?"

Father Gao nodded.

Song Yi thought for a while, and then asked: "It seems to me that there are people from all walks of life who mourn, including friends in the Gao family's shopping mall, among these people, there are very few cultivators, and most of them have mediocre kung fu, is it possible to send them all away?"

"They don't have to, they don't have a holiday with the Wang family, but after Bai Shaoxia came to help last time, he has shown them as a thorn in the side, and feels that the Yuequan Sect is the backing of the Gao family...... Your cultivation is inferior to your senior brother, in case you can't resist it...... Let's leave at night. ”

I see.

From this point of view, although Gao Zhan's father is hard-mouthed, he is still kind-hearted, and he knows that the wind and rain are coming, so he reminds himself to avoid it.

But...... If you know that someone is looking for trouble, do you have to hide?

Did Mo Qingning and the head of the family already know that the Wang family was coming to find trouble?

Did they really just send themselves out to show their faces and participate in the condolences on behalf of the Yuequan Sect?

Isn't it a test to send yourself to Gaojiabao at this juncture?

Maybe...... This is the real test, if you can pass this level and return to the Moon Spring Sect alive, you can listen to the head tell the cause and effect, if you can't pass or don't want to pass, you don't have to guess the reaction of the head and Mo Qingning, Song Yi himself is a hundred unhappy first.

How powerful can the Wang family be? Really powerful, can they still be beaten by the Gao family with a group of laymen led by the little senior brother?

Even if this is a test given by the head of the sect and Mo Qingning, can it be more dangerous than the previous fifteen-day appointment with Mo Qingning? Will it be more dangerous than the sword falling on his head?

This retreat, Song Yi does not play.

Thinking of this, Song Yi said to Father Gao: "Uncle, since I am here, I will be entrusted by the master, and I will slip back without completing the entrustment, this is not what a disciple of the Yuequan Sect should do." Gaojiabao is not far from the Yuequan Sect, they can come to you to find trouble, and it is not difficult to go to the Yuequan Sect last time. If I want to slip away, wouldn't it just seem that the Yuequan Sect has no ability and no responsibility? Maybe one day they will go to the Yuequan Sect, as a disciple, I just don't add glory to the sect, and I have to be a turtle with a shrunken head, smear the sect, and guide the thief, this thing is not appropriate. ”

"That'...... So what do you mean?"

"I'd better keep it first, if there is anyone who can help, I will help the little brother clean up the battlefield, if it's really not good, I'll find another opportunity to leave, and I will run away without trying, this is too underestimate me." ”

"You ......" Father Gao was full of surprise, as if he didn't expect this young man to be so open-minded, after thinking about it, he still shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, the Wang family not only came this time, but also invited a helper, and I thought it was inevitable to get that thing from my family." ”

Song Yi heard him mutter, and seemed to have a lot of internal feelings, and couldn't help asking, "How did you have a grudge with the Wang family?"

"This ......" Father Gao's face was a little embarrassed, his eyes were far away, staring at the magnolia flower in the yard, for a long time, Fang said slowly: "Well, since I have talked to you about this, I won't say that half of it is hidden and half of it, this matter will start from seven years ago...... I have a daughter named Gao Yulan, who was engaged to the eldest son of the Wang family. ”

"Engaged?" Song Yi was puzzled, only relatives and friends are engaged, how can anyone be engaged to an enemy, and it is not a royal family, and he needs to be for the country and his relatives.

"You are right, the Wang family and we were indeed friends. More than 100 years ago, the two ancestors got acquainted with the business sea, and several generations have some savings, who knew that more than ten years ago, the Wang family suffered a change, and the family property was almost lost. Later, a few years later, the second son of the Wang family came to the door with a token, and I learned that just after the birth of the two children, the two masters made a marriage contract for them. The Wang family never mentioned this matter because of the defeat of the family, and thought it would be over, but they came to the door......"

So do you regret your marriage? Song Yi muttered in his heart, it is not authentic for the Gao family to say this.

"We didn't regret getting married...... as if seeing his thoughts, Gao's father shook his head and sighed: "Yulan was fourteen years old back then, and it was too early to marry, but she was also sensible." I asked Yulan what she meant, thinking that if she was unwilling to marry the young master of the Wang family, I would make up for Wang Gongzi's handsome remuneration, persuade him to give up, and put this matter off, after all, I still have to focus on my daughter's lifelong happiness. After Yulan knew, she was not very resistant, saying that there was a marriage contract first, so you might as well see what kind of person he is, as long as he has a good character and good temperament, rich and poor is not a big problem, anyway, the Wang family is just declining, not to the point of not being able to eat. ”

"Oh...... Miss Magnolia is sensible. Song Yi nodded.

Hearing him praise his daughter, Gao's face became more and more gloomy, and he sighed and said, "I hope she is not so sensible, otherwise there will be no follow-up ...... Hearing her say this, I arranged a family dinner for the two of us to meet, thinking that the young people would understand each other before making a decision. At the beginning everything was fine, and I saw that the trance between their children gradually rose, and I was happy to see it, but after five or six days, it ...... I remember that on a rainy day like today, the magnolia flowers in the courtyard were blooming, and just after noon, I was taking a nap in the study, and the magnolia suddenly ran to me in a panic and asked me for help......"

"What happened?"

"She was so out of shape that day that she forgot the etiquette, that kid would never be like this......"

Father Gao's expression was gloomy, his eyes were full of deep pain, and he looked down on himself, as if he had never heard Song Yi's words: "She rushed into the courtyard, pushed the door open, ran to me in a panic, and said in a panic that she couldn't marry him, father, you hurry up and let him leave! Yulan's face was full of fear, and she couldn't speak, only saying that Wang Gongzi didn't despise her, but ...... I knew something was wrong, and I wanted to take her to confront Wang Gongzi, but she struggled desperately and would rather die. I asked her to stay in the study and go and ask for the situation myself. When I came to the guest room where Wang Gongzi lived, I found that he was also taking a lunch break, and everything was as usual. Although I had doubts, I didn't say anything, but gossiped with him, and then came back to find Yulan again. ”

Song Yi listened carefully, this past may have linked a lot of things.

"When I found Yulan, I said that I had gone to see it, and everything was normal with Wang Gongzi, did you quarrel? Yulan was still frightened, and after thinking for a while, she whispered to me: This Wang Gongzi is not Wang Gongzi, but a monster. ”

"Monster?!" Song Yi was taken aback, how do you say this?

"When she said this, I naturally didn't believe it, and scolded her for messing around, I just went to see it, Wang Gongzi is doing everything as usual, how can there be any monsters. Yulan saw that I didn't believe it, so anxious that tears came down, and she knelt on the ground with a plop, and swore that there was no half-falsehood, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, she was sensible since she was a child, assertive, and would never make up nonsense, so she let her get up and explain things clearly. ”

Gao's father said in a deep voice, slowly telling the situation of that day, and Song Yi also followed his gaze, looked at the magnolia trees blooming in the courtyard, and imagined the scene of that day in his mind.

Yulan told her father that she had more contact with Wang Gongzi in the past few days, and the two gradually became familiar with each other, and occasionally became less inhibited. She had lunch at noon today, and planned to go to Wang Gongzi and surprise himβ€”it was unplanned. According to the plan, she was supposed to go out today to try on clothes in the silk cloth village in Huzhou City, but because the goods from the silk cloth village were delayed on the road and could not arrive on time today, this arrangement was temporarily cancelled.

And because she was scheduled to go out, she had already informed Wang Gongzi last night that she would not go to him today. But there was nothing to do at this moment, so she thought about simply going to meet Wang Gongzi for a while, yesterday's unfinished chess game was really fascinating, and she didn't distinguish between winners and losers, I'm afraid that I would not be able to sleep well tonight.

She walked in a hurry, without taking a maid or informing anyone, and quietly stepped into the courtyard where the prince lived......
