Volume 1 Seven Rank Taoist Priests Chapter 143 Cousin-in-law
Qi Xuansu's actions did not hide from Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu glanced at him: "What are you doing touching your neck?" ”
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "I suddenly felt a little cold in my neck." ”
"I didn't do anything wrong, what is the cold neck?" Zhang Yuelu said hesitantly.
Qi Xuansu said quietly: "I was scared." ”
Zhang Yuelu cleared her throat and stopped making Qi Xuansu's jokes: "In short, this is probably the case, my cousin has been a little prejudiced against men since then, you can bear more." ”
Qi Xuansu hesitated: "You just said that your cousin is married, and that cousin-in-law ......."
Zhang Yuelu said: "My cousin-in-law is a good person. ”
"Uh......" Qi Xuansu seemed to understand something, "I see, no wonder Qi Niang said that good people deserve to be pointed at by the firebolt." ”
"Who is Qi Niang?" It was the first time Zhang Yuelu had heard this name.
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, and said seriously: "My life-saving benefactor, I have always regarded her as an elder like a master. ”
Zhang Yuelu glanced at Qi Xuansu deeply: "Those bad habits of yours, as well as all kinds of strange ideas, were all taught to you by this Qi Niang, right?" ”
Qi Xuansu's expression rarely became serious, and he didn't respond, as a way to show his attitude.
Zhang Yuelu glanced at Qi Xuansu's demeanor and didn't say anything more.
There was a moment of silence between the two.
In the end, it was Zhang Yuelu who took the initiative to break the silence: "Let's go into the city." ”
Qi Xuansu returned to his usual appearance and said, "Okay." ”
There is a black-clothed man at the city gate who is responsible for inspecting the road guide, but the two of them have the gate of the road, so naturally the road is unimpeded.
The two entered the city, the county seat is not small, but there is nothing special about it.
It's just one thing, Zhang Yuelu doesn't know the specific address of the cousin, after all, when the cousin left Yujing, she was not married, and later married, she didn't do a big job, she was very low-key, and Zhang Yuelu also knew about it through letters. As for the occasional correspondence, Zhang Yuelu always sent the letters to Shangqing County, and then forwarded them by others.
So Zhang Yuelu only knew that her cousin married in Fenning County, but she didn't know where she lived.
There is no way, the two can only inquire around, thinking of a noble daughter of the Zhang family, even if she encounters a love change, she will not be too wronged herself, the mansion should not be small, not difficult to find.
……
Zhang Yuyue is crooked on the couch to read the script, the real masterpiece, by no means "The Legend of the Taiping Inn" can be compared, although it is a shell of a fairyman, but it is about the hearts of the world, from Yujing to Dijing, it is quite well received.
It's just that Zhang Yuyue's mind is not on this book, she read a few pages, but she didn't read half a word, and then she simply threw away the book in her hand, supported her head with her hand, and was stunned.
Counting on her fingers, she has been away from Yujing for more than three years, and although she still retains the grade of a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, she no longer has any position, and naturally she does not have any nominal power.
But it's only in name, not to mention that her uncle and grandfather are the heavenly masters of this generation, because they have no children under their knees, they have always regarded their nephews and nephews as their own, and her father and brother are not idle people, even if she doesn't do anything, she can still maintain a good life and travel freely, otherwise she would not be able to give a house in Taishangfang to her cousin.
Although her father was very angry that she left Yujing without permission, and was even more dissatisfied with her entanglement with that person, thinking that she had corrupted the door and wanted to expel her from the house several times, the brother who could already support the door still stood up and often took care of her. In addition, her husband is also very good to her, although he is not a big man in Yujing City, but in the local provincial government, he is already a powerful person.
What else is she not satisfied with? What can't she let go?
The road is all on its own.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuyue couldn't help but sigh.
Somehow, she suddenly remembered that cousin who was born in a small sect, had no outstanding family background, but was given a name by the Heavenly Master himself, and then also went to Yujing, when she first met that cousin, she was still a seven-grade Taoist, but when she left Yujing, she was already a five-grade Taoist.
Recently, I heard some news, this cousin was first promoted to the fourth grade sacrificial wine Taoist, and then was exceptionally promoted to the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall.
If she doesn't leave Yujing, then she should also be promoted to a third-grade Youyi Taoist.
She couldn't help but ask herself, was it worth it for a man in the first place?
……
"Of course it's not worth it." Zhang Yuelu said, "I said, if it were me, I would definitely slash that person, but I wouldn't be wrong." ”
Qi Xuansu touched his neck again and asked, "You keep saying 'that person', who is 'that person'?" ”
At this time, the two had already inquired about Zhang Yuyue's residence, which was located in the north of the city, and the two talked about Zhang Yuyue on the way here, Qi Xuansu asked Zhang Yuelu about his opinion on this matter, and got a murderous answer.
Qi Xuansu always felt that Zhang Yuelu had something in his words, which meant something, and it was not easy to ask directly.
Zhang Yuelu replied: "'That person' is named Li Minghuang, and now he is also in Tiangang Hall, ranking third among the nine deputy hall masters. He didn't call this name before, but later worshiped a father-in-law surnamed Li and became the son of the Li family. ”
Qi Xuansu said suddenly: "No wonder he dared to part ways with Zhang Jiaming, it turned out that he had a new backer." ”
Zhang Yuelu said: "Now Li Minghuang is not in the Yujing City, but has gone to the Western Regions Daofu, and is leading the spirit officials to fight against the Shamanism. Since you are in Tiangang Hall, you will be able to see him sooner or later. ”
Qi Xuansu asked again, "What about that cousin-in-law?" ”
Zhang Yuelu thought for a while and replied: "My cousin-in-law's surname is Dong, if you put aside your family background, this cousin-in-law is actually on par with my cousin, and he is also a four-grade wine Taoist, but he only serves in the local Taoist government. But if you count the family background, the gap between the two sides is a bit big, after all, ......"
Qi Xuansu said: "After all, a man with a comparable family background doesn't want to be pointed at behind his back. ”
Zhang Yuelu glared at him: "This kind of thing, just say it in front of me, but don't say it in front of others." ”
"Of course." Qi Xuansu said, "I'm not a child who doesn't know the severity. ”
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived in front of a rather spacious mansion.
Zhang Yuelu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and came out of an elderly porter, seeing that it was a strange man and woman, and he was a little unsure of the intention of the two. However, after Zhang Yuelu reported his identity, the porter hurriedly asked the two to sit in the porter for a while, and then he went in to communicate.
After a while, the housekeeper came out and led the two to the main hall very respectfully, and offered fragrant tea, asking the two to wait a while, and the lady was dressing up.
Qi Xuansu looked at the surrounding environment, judging from the decoration alone, it was not luxurious, but it was definitely not simple, and it was quite a bit of a scholarly family for generations.
About two teas later, I suddenly heard a pleasant woman's voice outside, and people came before they came: "Qingxiao is here?" ”
Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed as a woman walked into the main hall, her skirt swaying, ringing and jingling, bright and moving, with a graceful posture, like a beauty in the picture of a lady.
"Cousin." Zhang Yuelu got up and greeted him.
Qi Xuansu also got up and looked at the woman without a trace.
This is a mature woman with excellent charm and elegant temperament, but standing with Zhang Yuelu, it can be clearly seen that she is much older than Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu's body has a sharp and energetic energy, but this woman has a twilight aura on her body.
"Qingxiao, it's really you, why do you have time to come?" Zhang Yuyue was still quite surprised by Zhang Yuelu's visit.
Zhang Yuelu said truthfully: "My mother gave me an ultimatum, if I have to go home for the New Year, I will stop by to visit you." The last time I saw you, I was in Yujing, and I haven't seen you for three years, but my cousin has lost a lot. ”
"I haven't seen each other for three years." Zhang Yuyue sighed, "It's really like a different world, I am a landlord's wife in Fenning County, and you are a deputy hall master in Yujing, which is really two worlds." ”
Zhang Yuelu said: "If my sister wants to go back to Yujing, it is not difficult. ”
Zhang Yuyue laughed, noncommittal, turned her eyes to Qi Xuansu on the side, and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Qi Xuansu took a step forward and said, "Under Qi Xuansu, I have seen Master Zhang. ”
Zhang Yuelu added with a smile: "My friend, my sister just calls him 'Tianyuan'. ”
Zhang Yuyue's expression changed slightly, although she was smiling, she was a little colder, and the meaning of not waiting to see it was obvious.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: "It's really a shot that killed a boatload of people." ”
Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Sister." ”
Zhang Yuyue looked Qi Xuansu up and down for a while, and then said slowly: "Qi ...... Taoist friends are less polite. ”
Qi Xuansu straightened up, gave Zhang Yuelu a look, and asked her what to do next.
Zhang Yuelu didn't see it, and began to catch up with Zhang Yuyue.
Qi Xuansu was a little depressed, but he couldn't have a seizure. After the incident in White Emperor City, Zhang Yuelu said that she didn't want Qi Xuansu to go to see her mother now, but Qi Xuansu himself did not agree to give up halfway, so now it is no wonder that Zhang Yuelu can only be said to be self-inflicted.
The two women chatted, and Qi Xuansu had to sit awkwardly aside, listening to the content of the conversation between the two.
The two didn't talk about anything else, the main thing was to reminisce about the past and remember the past.
About half an hour later, a man still wearing a formal suit from the Daomen hurried over.
Zhang Yuelu and Zhang Yuyue both got up to greet each other, thinking that this was their cousin-in-law.
Qi Xuansu also got up and looked, the man was much older than Qi Xuansu, but unlike Qi Xuansu's murderous aura, the man was bookish, gentle and elegant, and at first glance he was a character who had been in the study for a long time.
Zhang Yuelu was not unkind when he was in Yujing, and said very kindly: "Cousin-in-law." ”
Qi Xuansu also followed in a ghostly manner: "I've seen my cousin-in-law." ”
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall was completely frozen.
