Chapter 364: Everyone is their own person
"Brother-in-law, I don't accept anyone in my life, so I'll obey you. ā
On top of the banquet set up by Nangong Ling, Shangguan Tong raised his wine glass and joked to Zhong Wen, "For the sake of women, you even demolished the emperor's Jinluan Palace." ā
"Aren't I also angry with you, eldest brother?" Zhong Wen scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"I have been in business for many years, and I still have this self-knowledge. Shangguan Tong laughed and said, "If it's for me, an old man, how can you do this, come, let's go one!"
With that, he slammed the cup in his hand with Zhong Wen's wine glass, and then raised his head and drank it all.
Zhong Wen swallowed a cup of food, and heard Shangguan Tong point to Thirteen Niang and others in the distance and said: "Brother-in-law, your vision is good, these girls are rare in time, and there is nothing for men to be careful, just remember, don't like the new and hate the old, and treat Junyi badly, otherwise I will not spare you." ā
After that, he touched a glass with Zhong Wen again.
Seeing that Shangguan Tong was quite interested, Zhong Wen had no choice but to smile bitterly and accompany him to pour cups of yellow soup one after another.
Not far away, Thirteen Niang and Shangguan Mingyue were holding hands and whispering, and the second daughter, who was cold to each other not long ago, looked like they were like sisters.
On the other side, Nangong Ling was softly comforting Li Yiru, who was heartbroken and depressed by his brother.
Coral and Tongtong, two "chess friends", reunited after a long absence, and they also chatted very hotly.
In the corner, Gou Datong was changing cups with the Lin brothers, boasting about the chic life on Liangshan back then, only to hear Lin Chaofeng's eyes shining, envious, eager to abandon the identity of Shangshu Gongzi, and go to the mountains to live the leisurely life of robbing houses.
But Brother Lin Chao listened absent-mindedly, just staring at Tongtong who was chatting with Coral without blinking, but whenever he found that she and Zhong Wen were close, his heart would unconsciously become nervous, and he couldn't wait to rush forward and forcibly separate the two.
"Sister Ling'er. After three rounds of drinking, Thirteen Niang suddenly came to Nangong Ling with a cup, "Thank you for taking a righteous action to save the coral and Liangshan brothers, my sister toasts you." ā
"What did my sister say? Nangong Ling smiled slightly and raised a glass to greet him, "We are also comrades-in-arms, how can the little sister let the prince go perverse and attack her sister and sister Shangguan?"
"Sister Ling'er, I just accepted your kindness, and I haven't had time to repay it yet, so I shouldn't have any extravagant hopes. After drinking the wine in the cup, Thirteen Niang's face suddenly turned straight, and she bowed respectfully to Nangong Ling and said, "There is just one thing, but I want to ask you for a favor anyway." ā
"Sister, between us, don't be polite. Nangong Ling hurriedly stepped forward to help Thirteen Niang up, and said softly, "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ā
"Today, with your help, I have finally saved the day, but I can't always rely on you and Zhong Wen in the future. Thirteen Niang said slowly, "In the end, you must take your fate into your own hands, so my sister wants to ask Sister Ling'er to introduce her and let Coral enter the Floating Flower Palace to learn art." ā
"Sister, are you going to drive me away?" Coral on the side was shocked when he heard this.
"Silly girl, how could my sister drive you away?" Thirteen Niang smiled softly, shook her head and said, "Now in this world, you are the closest person to me, and sending you to learn art is to hope that you will not only have the ability to protect yourself, and you will be strong in the future, but also take on the responsibility of protecting other brothers." ā
"Sister, why don't you go with me?" said Sango, pulling on the sleeve of Thirteen Niang.
"If I also leave, who will lead the brothers?" Thirteen Niang shook her head and said, "It's not that we won't see each other again, it's just that I sent you to study for two years, and my sister can be regarded as seeing through, these years, if there is no master, it will be difficult to mix in any industry." ā
"IāI don't want to leave you. "As soon as Coral's eyes turned red, she was about to cry.
"Silly girl, think about today's events. Thirteen Niang gently stroked Coral's hair, and persuaded softly, "You can't count on Zhong Wen to save us every time, right? ā
Coral was silent, and her white and tender little hands were still tightly pulling the cuffs of Thirteen Niang, full of affection.
"If Sister Coral doesn't dislike it. Nangong Ling smiled and said, "Master, it's up to me to say, such a beautiful and lovely female disciple, she will probably not refuse." ā
"In this way, thank you Sister Ling'er. Thirteen Niang made a solemn salute again.
"In a few days, after the handover of the Nangong family, the little sister will set off to return to Qingfeng Mountain. Nangong Ling pursed her lips and smiled, "When the time comes, Sister Coral will go with me, if nothing happens, you will soon call me 'Senior Sister'." ā
Thirteen Niang gently nudged Sango's shoulder.
"Thank you, Sister Ling'er. Coral squirmed with her head down.
Not far away, Tongtong, who was alone, looked at Brother Lin Chao in front of him with a strange expression suspiciously: "Young Master Lin, do you have something to do with me?"
"Miss Tongtong. Brother Lin Chao's face was flushed, his expression was nervous, and he said hesitantly, "Can I, can I invite you to play at home?"
He wanted to say the word "guest", but he felt that it was too formal, and he was afraid of scaring the girl's family, so he adopted a more tactful way of expression.
"What are you playing?" asked Tongtong.
"Huh?" Lin Chaoge was stunned by her question, he thought that the answer would be "go" or "not go", but Tongtong was simple-minded, and he really thought that Lin Chaoge invited her to "play", and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Do you have a backgammon in your house?" Tongtong already knew something about Brother Lin Chao's temperament, and when he saw that he began to be in a daze again, he didn't feel strange, but asked.
"What is backgammon?" Lin Chaoge had never heard of such a thing as "backgammon", and asked curiously.
"You don't even know about backgammon?" Tongtong used the words that Coral said to him on Lin Chaoge as they were, and even the eyes that pretended to be surprised learned a lot.
"This ...... I beg your pardon for being unheard of. Lin Chaoge suddenly felt that he didn't know about backgammon, which was really undeserved, so he blushed and said, "Please also ask Miss Tongtong to give me advice." ā
"Since you are sincere in asking, this girl will kindly point you out. Tongtong saw that his attitude was sincere and his vanity was greatly satisfied, and he immediately introduced it with great interest, "Backgammon is interesting, there are two kinds of black and white......
It's good to be young!
Looking at the girl talking eloquently in the distance, and the teenager nodding frequently, Zhong Wen, who was only seventeen years old, couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion.
"Miss Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time. ā
In the guest room of the "Smell Inn", looking at the stunning Shuangshu opposite, Zhu Cong's eyes lit up.
Ning Jie's creamy skin still doesn't apply powder, but it can't hide her natural beauty at all, but Zhu Cong keenly feels that Ning Jie at this time is a little different from the last time they met.
The fairy, who has always been cold and elegant, with a slight sense of alienation, seems to have a little more delicate and charming charm between her eyebrows, as if the originally half-opened delicate flowers have finally completely stretched their petals, showing an unparalleled peerless style to the world.
In contrast, although Ran Sujuan beside her is also charming, both in appearance and mental state, she is slightly inferior.
"Brother Zhu. The smile on Ning Jie's face was unprecedentedly gentle, "Congratulations." ā
Zhu Cong felt a "sigh" in his heart, only to feel that Ning Jie looked at his eyes, as if he was looking at ...... Brother-in-law.
Damn pussy!
He secretly hated Ran Sujuan in his heart, but his face was full of joy: "Thank you, thank you!"
"Brother Zhu plans to never set foot in the palace?" Ning Jie's eyes showed a hint of a smile, "Now you are half of your own person, and your situation is not the same as before. ā
"This ...... After all, there was an agreement. Zhu Cong smiled awkwardly and said, "Unless the young man agrees, Zhu can't break the contract at will." ā
"Brother Zhu is honest, and my little sister admires it. ā
Hearing Zhu Cong mention Zhong Wen, the expressions of the two daughters were different, a trace of tenderness faintly flashed in Ning Jie's eyes, but Ran Sujuan's face was inexplicably darkened.
"Miss Ning, this time Zhu is cheeky to invite, I really want to ask you about some questions about theology. Zhu Cong quietly took the expression of the second daughter into his eyes, "Please also ask Miss Ning to give advice." ā
"Brother Zhu, but it's okay to talk about it. When Ning Jie heard that she was going to discuss divine literature, she suddenly came to her senses.
"Miss Ning, please take a look. Zhu Cong took out the "Tianyan Jue" handed to him by the god operator from his bosom and handed it to Ning Jie.
Ning Jie stretched out her slender jade hand, took the book and flipped through it casually, her eyes showing excitement: "Good mystical exercises, at least thirty percent of them are written, and my little sister doesn't know them at all." ā
I only know 20 percent, she is young, and she can already decipher 70 percent!
When Zhu Cong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart, knowing that Ning Jie's theological attainments were far above him, and once the gap was quantified, it still had a great impact on his self-esteem.
"Miss Ning, Zhu's knowledge is limited, and the decipherment of this book is imminent. Zhu Cong said frankly, "In desperation, I had to ask you to come here, and ask the girl to help!"
"What did Brother Zhu say. Ning Jie smiled and said, "Not to mention the relationship between you and Sister Juan, the younger sister is already fond of theology, and she has the opportunity to have access to more classics, thanks to Brother Zhu." ā
"Miss Ning, Zhu has also been studying this book for some time. A hint of expectation flashed in Zhu Cong's eyes, "If you and I join forces, we may be able to completely decipher this Tianyan Jue within a week." ā
"One week is too short. Ning Jie shook her head and said, "The sage has arranged a lot of tasks these days, and I'm afraid that my little sister won't be able to devote all her energy to this book." ā
"Then Miss Yining, how much time will it take?" Zhu Cong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
"The Chinese characters in the book are difficult and obscure, and it is by no means easy to decipher, and if you put your heart and soul into it, it can take a month. Ning Jie thought for a while and said, "According to the current situation, even if the little sister devotes all her leisure time to this book, I am afraid it will take three months." ā
"Three months...... In this way, there will be Miss Lao Ning" The anxious color in Zhu Cong's eyes flashed away, and he said with sincerity on his face, "The girl's great kindness, Zhu is unforgettable." ā
"Brother Zhu is polite. Ning Jie's smile had a rare hint of naughtiness, "Now everyone is their own person, as long as Brother Zhu treats Sister Juan well, if there is anything that needs help, the little sister should do her best." ā
"This, this nature. Zhu Cong squeezed out a smile, got up and set the cup for the second daughter, and lifted the wine jug to fill it one by one.
"No alcohol. Ran Sujuan seemed to think of something, and suddenly glared at him.
"Sister Juan, rest assured, my brother will never drink again in his life. Zhu Cong sneered, "What is in the pot is ordinary tea." ā
"That's pretty much it. Ran Sujuan raised the teacup and took a sip, revealing a look of satisfaction.
Seeing this, Ning Jie took a sip of tea while holding a cup, and looked back and forth between the two with watery eyes, only to feel that Zhu Cong had not yet married Ran Sujuan into the door, and he already had a bit of a strict posture of wife, and he couldn't help but feel quite funny.
"You and Xiaojie have to discuss theology for three months. Ran Sujuan suddenly spoke, "Isn't it true that you don't enter the palace, you can't bear to watch Xiao Jie go back and forth inside and out?"
"This ......" Zhu Cong's face froze, and he hesitated, "But ......"
"Besides, you should always ...... I should have seen my parents. Ran Sujuan's voice suddenly became twisted, and two red clouds floated on her fair cheeks, which were really glamorous and intoxicating, "You are a junior, you can't let the second elder come out to visit you, right?"
"Brother Zhu, the bet between you and Zhong Wen was just impulsive, and there was no serious conflict. Ning Jie also encouraged on the side, "You just have to go in, if Zhong Wen asks, I will share it with him." ā
"......" Zhu Cong hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Then there is Miss Lao Ning." ā
"It's a little thing, why ......" Ning Jie was halfway through her words, and suddenly felt a feeling of dizziness hit her, and her jade hand trembled, and she couldn't even hold the teacup.
"Bang dang!"
The tea in the cup spilled on the table, spreading along the countertop to the corner of the table, dripping and dripping.
"What's wrong, Xiaojie?" Ran Sujuan couldn't help but ask with concern when she saw Ning Jie's face different.
"Somehow, I suddenly felt a little dizzy. Ning Jie covered her forehead, said softly, and then "plopped" on the table, no longer moving.
"Xiao Jie......" Ran Sujuan was startled, and was about to help, but suddenly felt sore, dizzy, and unable to get up.
"I'm sorry, in order to inherit the Divine Calculation Hall, Zhu really can't wait for three months. Zhu Cong's gentle voice came from his ears.
"You ......" Ran Sujuan seemed to understand something, and when she was about to speak, she felt that her eyes were dark, and then she didn't know anything......
