Madame's smile froze on her face, and the movements of her hands suddenly stopped.

Jin Yunlan's face also became ugly in an instant, and the chopsticks were easily broken by her in her hand. She exhaled anger from her nose and asked in a low voice, "Do you have to speak so badly?" ”

Jinyun Chong continued to eat with vegetables with a blank face, "The eldest sister was only trained in Mr. Zhao's class, but in the blink of an eye, she forgot about Mr.'s reprimand to the clouds, which is really a good memory." ”

In the face of his sarcasm, Jin Yunlan couldn't bear to show weakness, and said with a cold look: "No matter how bad my memory is, there is a good brother who will come to remind me." ”

Jinyun Chong sneered: "Others have been scolded by the teacher, and they will inevitably be blamed by their parents when they go home." Why is the eldest sister different from others, not only unrepentant, but also served by big fish and meat. At this point, he glanced at his mother, whose eyes were solemn.

"That's enough, Chong'er! I asked Lan'er to come to dinner, and I prepared this meal. If you have an opinion, you can complain to me, why should you ridicule your eldest sister? She's finally ...... to make a trip."

Before Madame's words were finished, Jinyun Chong was already furious. He slapped the case and said in a loud voice: "She is not your own child, why do you always favor her." Or do you fancy her status in her father's mind, so you blindly flatter. Mother, don't be stupid, no matter how good you are to her, your father won't care more about you because of this! ”

The lady trembled with anger, her face turned red, and she reached out to give him a slap.

Jin Yunlan quickly grabbed her wrist.

Jin Yunchong looked at his mother's raised hand, his eyes full of grievance and resentment. He looked at Jinyunlan, who had a gloomy face, and Xiuxiu, who was frightened, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists, lowered his eyes and whispered sadly: "You are all the same as Xiaoxiao, you will always only revolve around her." With that, he brushed his sleeves away angrily.

Madame breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been in a big war. She slumped into her chair, and it took a few moments for her pale face to recover. She reluctantly made up a sentence, "Chong'er thinks it's the age of rebellion." Don't be like him. ”

Jin Yunlan nodded in a complicated mood.

After that, the atmosphere of the mother and daughter was quite harmonious. My sister's tenth birthday is approaching, and Mrs. Zhang Luo wants to buy things for her, and asks her to go out to buy them together on her public holiday next month.

Jin Yunlan touched her little sister's head lovingly, and opened her mouth to respond.

When she returned to her room after lunch, her heart was still turbulent, and she sat at her desk and wandered vigorously.

A cat meow floated in through the crack in the door. She turned her head to see that a cat's paw had pressed the corner of the door. With a "squeak", a fat but agile figure jumped in sensitively. It cocked its head and arched its nose with a frown, sniffing its familiar scent in the air.

It followed its breath and walked gracefully towards Jinyunlan, and did not forget to open its mouth to say hello to her.

"Meow~"

"Xiaoxiaolai." Jinyunlan beckoned to her, and Ren Xiaoxiao twisted her neck and rubbed her palm vigorously. She picked up its round body and placed it on her knees, gently combing its brown hair.

Xiaoxiao slowly closed its lazy cat's eyes, lazily lying on her lap and falling asleep quickly.

"Xiaoxiao really likes Miss, I want to know that you are its savior." Walk in and say it in full.

Jin Yunlan seemed to be smiling, and the stroking action did not stop, "It is a cat raised by small insects, and it should not have been left in my yard." ”

Cheng Cheng picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for her, "It's because it doesn't want to go back to the eldest young master." Sent back a few times and it ran back, don't blame us. She reached out and took Xiaoxiao away, leaving Jin Yunlan to read hard at the table.

That night, she studied spells until late at night, trying to find clues to the roots. It's just that the spell has been lost for many years, and there are only a handful of written records, so it is difficult to solve the method for a while.

The candle flame in front of me dimmed. She picked up the lampshade and stirred the sleepy wick, and the flame jumped higher.

She pushed open the window and admired the watery moonlight for a while, and suddenly remembered the first quarter moon she had seen through the window in Li Yu's room last night, and the inky blue in his eyes.

The box of thoughts seems to have been chiseled into a big hole, pouring out not only troubles, but also vigorous feelings.

I obviously haven't seen him a few times, and I don't have too many good moments when we get along, but I always think of him from time to time.

She finally felt the heaviness of her eyelids, blew out the lights, and dreamed all night until dawn.

Soon, it was the day of registration for the autumn exam.

Early in the morning, the sky was bright, and Jin Yunlan got up and went to the school with a sword.

The night before, she figured it out.

If you want to become the patriarch, you need to be trusted by the people of Los Angeles and have the strength to protect the city to be qualified to compete. Jinyun College holds a competition every fall. In previous years, she had been warped, but this year she decided to participate. She wanted to prove her strength to the people of the city. ”

Today's autumn exam registration, a group of people surrounded the school field, crowded at the registration office and rushed to report their names.

Jin Yunlan gritted her teeth and squeezed into the dense crowd, and finally came to the forefront, shouting her name hoarsely in the waves of sound one after another.

"Jinyun family, Jinyun Lan, sign up for the autumn exam."

Her voice was like a terrifying wave that rushed outward, drowning out all the noise from the inside out, making the scene silent.

After a while, a whisper sounded.

"The eldest lady is also going to take the autumn exam? She's never been dismissive of it. ”

"It's not interesting to fight a woman, besides, she's a clan girl, who is responsible for the damage."

The originally hot atmosphere suddenly cooled down a lot because of Jin Yunlan's participation, and the dense crowd began to disperse and leave in a scattered manner.

At this time, a hand was raised in the crowd, and he said in a cold voice: "Jinyun clan, Jinyun Chong, sign up for the autumn exam." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's tone changed again.

"Young Master Jinyun also signed up together. The siblings are in the ring, and it seems that this autumn will inevitably witness a fratricidal drama. ”

"Although Miss Jinyun is strong. But the eldest young master has also made rapid progress recently, and the masters of the swordsmanship class and the spell class have praised him. It's hard to say who wins and who loses. ”

Jinyun Lan noticed the challenging gaze that Jinyun Chong threw at her. She didn't think it was a taste. It's not that it's hypocritical, and she doesn't want to fight with her brother, it's just that this tense atmosphere has intensified between the two of them, and she feels sad.

When did their relationship get so bad?

But no matter how heartbroken she is, she will never retreat here for the sake of sister and brotherhood, and give up the victory to others.

She responded to his gaze with her head held high, walked up to him, her eyes were blazing, and she said in a firm tone: "I look forward to fighting you, I will do my best." ”

Jinyun Chong curled the corners of his lips, rubbed the scabbard excitedly with his fingertips, and said in a dangerous tone: "Eldest sister, be careful. If you're careless, you'll lose your life. ”

Jin Yunlan's expression moved slightly, but she still tried to maintain her composure.

In the morning, she took a spell class and a sword class. The little worm's swordsmanship and spells have indeed made great progress, much better than years ago, and even she sighed at his amazing growth rate, and her heart was a little anxious for a while. If this continues, it may be difficult to win the autumn test.

The little worm has already made his position clear, if he becomes the Jinyun Patriarch, then the Li clan may never have a bright day.

So no matter what, she has to win the first battle, win this first battle.

She needs to find someone stronger than her to be her opponent.

It's a pity that my father was busy with clan affairs and had no time to separate. The elders of the clan are even more iron-faced and selfless, and will never help favoritism.

She is close to her uncle, and the eldest elder of the clan is the strongest person in Jinyun, if she can get his guidance, she will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, but he has always disliked her, and he is full of teachings when he meets. He seems to value little bugs more. The little insect has been passed down by him since he was a child, and he has secretly learned a lot of skills.

However, I heard from my father that the Great Elder went out to inspect, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back in three or two months.

She sighed in distress, helpless.

In the afternoon, she went non-stop to the consul of the clan association to comfort the empty nesters.

Mrs. Li has a melon field that needs to be taken care of. Jinyunlan rolled up her sleeves and trousers and worked in the field all afternoon. The old lady didn't complain when she saw her stuffy work, she thought it was a good seedling, took her hand, and asked her if she would like to marry her grandson, who was working abroad.

Jin Yunlan laughed dryly twice and declined.

In the evening, the old lady cut a watermelon for her, and pulled her to sit on the small bench at the door and talk to the neighbor next door.

Before leaving, the old lady picked a few bunches of lychees from the tree and gave them to her, hoping that she would come back to help her when she was busy with the farm.

This shrewd old lady has a good hand in calculation.

However, for the sake of these lychees, she still softened her heart and agreed to her.

"Got it, Grandma."

By the time twilight fell, the streets were deserted, and the restaurants were in full swing, with the sound of noisy people and clattering dishes and glasses.

Jinyun Lan originally planned to go straight home, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned his footsteps and ran straight towards the mountain outside the city.

Due to the closure of the barrier, the empty mountain range is shaped like nothingness. Once it's late at night, it's hard to detect its presence. She crossed the secret passage and flew quickly up the hill and landed in front of the dense forest.

Deep in the forest, smoke rises from the house. She always had an inexplicable intimacy with them, so she couldn't help but approach and pity.

She picked up a bamboo leaf, closed it in her palm, and silently recited the term.

She let go of her hands, and the bamboo leaves floated from her palms towards the other end of the bamboo forest, and entered Li Yu's house. It jumped on Li Yu's right shoulder and jumped twice. Li Yi noticed this, turned his head to look for it, and then it playfully hid behind him, waiting for an opportunity to jump on his left shoulder again, and tickle his ear with the tip of the leaf.

Li Yi remained silent, but his eyes quickly moved to the left, and he caught a glimpse of a slender green shadow in his afterglow. He grabbed it with his hand, not wanting the bamboo leaf to be unusually dexterous, and it slid out of his palm with his palm prints.

It was a little distance away from him, and in front of him, it kept bending its soft body back and forth, as if a person was leaning forward and smiling back and forth.

Live like someone.

Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he wanted to be arrested again. The bamboo leaves floated out from before his eyes. He didn't immediately follow, and the bamboo leaves stayed in the air, waiting for him. After a long stalemate, he reluctantly got up and followed the naughty bamboo leaves all the way to the forest.
