1. Purple Clothes Chapter 19 The same demeanor is as warm as jade
The girls who came down from Wanglong Mountain also mingled among the people of Bailong City, and took the initiative to sit at the same table with those girls who returned to Yanlou, and they didn't seem to dislike their identities at all.
Even, occasionally, he would take the initiative to whisper a few words to the girls who returned to Yanlou around him, and sometimes he would even amuse the girls who returned to Yanlou to cover their mouths and chuckle.
Because since she came down from Wanglong Mountain, she found a particularly interesting thing, although these young and beautiful girls in Huiyanlou are all in the land of smoke and willows, they don't even have a little smell of wind and dust.
Even, each of them is as knowledgeable as everyone else, and the etiquette is impeccable, which makes her a little puzzled.
There are not many places of smoke and willows in Luoxia City, although she has never been to those places, but she has heard a lot about the rumors of the land of smoke and willows, and she has never heard of the girls in the land of smoke and willows in Luoxia City, the girls who can be as generous as the girls who returned to Yanlou.
The land of smoke and willows is a place of black smoke and miasma, even if it is the leader of it, it is not exempt from vulgarity.
However, the girls who returned to Yanlou were very different from those she had heard of, because the girls who returned to Yanlou had light in their eyes.
If it weren't for knowing that they were from Huiyan Tower, the girl wouldn't have believed that they were actually from the hook fence.
At this time, she had long forgotten that before herself, she was bent on asking Nan Ruosu for an explanation, and asked him why she threw a weak woman in a place like Huiyan Tower.
Although the food in the banquet looked extremely delicious, the people of White Dragon City did not move their chopsticks for a long time, they just sat quietly in their respective places, and did not talk with others, no one knew what they were thinking.
The entire White Dragon Inn, except for the seat of the girl and the girls of Huiyanlou, was surprisingly quiet, and only the dull footsteps of Yue Yang and other soldiers could be heard.
Looking at such a serious scene, a trace of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, and her gaze continued to flow between Wanglong Mountain in the distance and the straight border soldiers outside the inn.
She never thought that a person could make a city miserable, what a charm it was.
Even if she was also a person who had experienced a big scene, she couldn't imagine that she would see such a shocking scene on this trip to White Dragon City.
Although she was in Luoxia City before, the rumors about Nan Ruoxun, the general of Anbei, have never been unheard.
At that time, she always felt that although Nan Ruoxun, the general of Anbei, was unusual, there were inevitably some exaggerations in the rumors about him.
She does worship General Anbei, but she is not as crazy and brainless as a woman, she admires Nan Ruoxun, not because of how much he has achieved, but just because he fought bloodily on the battlefield on the northern border to protect the country of Su Ci, and tried to be the first to protect the people on the northern border.
In her mind, not only Nan Ruoxun, but all the sons and daughters who sweated and shed blood for the Su Ci Dynasty on the battlefield deserve to be respected and worshipped.
Even as a woman, she has a firm heart to serve her country.
She never felt that she was worse than anyone else, even if this person was Nan Ruoxun.
But now she doesn't think so, because she knows that she is not as good as General Anbei, the younger generation of the Su Ci Dynasty, and many people are not as good as him.
Born in Luoxia City since she was a child, although she has never really seen the cruelty of the battlefield, she also knows that war is cruel and the battlefield needs to shed blood.
But she never knew that a young man of the same age who came out of the battlefield could still let the people of a city see him off desperately, and he could also make the people of a city lose their vitality because of his departure.
It's a pity that God is not beautiful, so that a young man with such a stunning talent suddenly died in the astonishment and disbelief of countless people.
At this time, the only thing that could accompany him was the cold coffin, the loess that had no temperature at all, and the only wisp of the biting cold wind in the mountains.
By the way, there's also the cynical boy on the surface.
Thinking of this, the idea of comparing the two suddenly occurred in her heart.
However, as soon as this thought arose, the girl left it behind.
Although, since they met last night, she knew that Nan Ruosu was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but if she wanted to compare him with his brother Nan Ruoxun, it was obviously a little naΓ―ve.
A person who makes her ashamed of herself, what does Nan Ruosu compare with others?
Since it is a funeral banquet, wine is naturally indispensable.
Today's wine is very special, it is not the ordinary goods of the White Dragon Inn, but the apricot blossom brew that has just been personally delivered by Old Man Su before.
Old man Su and the girl knew each other, after all, they ate other people's food and drank other people's wine last night, but in the end, they didn't pay anyone.
The girl also plans to settle the account with the old man later.
She has a very good impression of Old Man Su, this old man who seems to have experienced many vicissitudes of life, is very friendly to others, and should be a very kind person.
If she doesn't pay the bill, she will not be happy.
Before, when Old Man Su personally pulled the cart to deliver the wine, Nan Xuanji also personally greeted the old man.
Although the girl was far away and didn't hear anything from the two of them, looking at the two of them, they should know each other well.
She roughly swept it, and if it was not bad, the old man should have sent all the jars of apricot blossom brew on his counter.
After sending the wine, the old man ignored Nan Xuanji's retention, and went straight to pull the wooden cart away, and Nan Xuanji saw him go far before turning back.
For the famous "Demon Spear God of the Su Dynasty", the girl had already seen it when she was on Wanglong Mountain.
When she saw him in a wheelchair at that time, she was not surprised, because Nan Xuanji's broken legs were not a secret in the Su Ci Dynasty, and many people knew about it.
But when she saw his face, the girl was still shocked.
Now that he is still as energetic as he is rumored? He looked more like an old man in his twilight years, hunched over, his face full of vicissitudes and exhaustion.
Sometimes when I think about it, girls feel that God is a little unfair, and a hero like Nan Xuanji, after entering middle age, has a bumpy road.
showed that he had broken his legs, not to mention, and finally had a son who was angry, but he ended up like this today, how desolate?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, the girl wouldn't have dared to imagine that a generation of military gods would have ended up in such a situation.
Perhaps, the people who kill all have evil bodies, and it is not groundless.
The taste of apricot blossom brewing is very mellow, even if it has never been eaten, the kind of sweetness that permeates the air makes the girl have to admit that it is definitely a rare good wine.
Even so, she doesn't know how to drink at all.
However, looking at the mellow wine served on the table one by one, the girl had no desire to drink it at all, not only her, but also the others in White Dragon City.
Each of them couldn't recover from the grief of losing Nan Ruoxun.
The funeral continued, the crowd left, and a table of wine and food was passed up, and then it was served as it was.
And so on.
Only the girl's table was not left from beginning to end, and the others seemed to be surprised.
After Nan Xuanji showed up, he left, perhaps because of his mobility difficulties, or because of the heartache of losing his son, he did not stay at the White Dragon Inn for long.
When she was pushed away by her wife Mu Hanyan and her daughter Nanhonglou, the girl noticed that the exhausted old man was struggling to reach out and wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
At that moment, her heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and it suddenly hurt.
No one can understand the sadness in the heart of the elderly, just as no one can understand the strength of the old man's disability.
It's noon.
The sun, which had been hidden for a whole morning, finally quietly peeked out of the clouds, and the warm sunlight fell on the earth, and everything gradually recovered.
Nan Ruosu, who had just come down from Wanglong Mountain, finally walked into the silent White Dragon City.
He is still the same as the hanger, and the strong and domineering figure on Wanglong Mountain is like two people.
As long as anyone who is familiar with him knows, he has always been like this.
The handsome young man with a three-foot green edge, in the mouths of the guards at the city gate, Shi Shiran walked into the White Dragon City.
Not only those guards, but even if they met those citizens in White Dragon City on the road, many people would shout at him with a complicated face: "Young City Lord!" β
For the complicated eyes around him, the young man chose to ignore them as if he hadn't seen them, but he would nod lightly to those who took the initiative to greet him, which was considered a return of courtesy.
He didn't go to the White Dragon Inn, but went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, when Nan Ruosu walked in, Nan Xuanji was leaning on his wheelchair, looking at the bamboo forest in front of him in a daze.
The young man drove over and quietly appeared behind Nan Xuanji, and before he could speak, Nan Xuanji had already opened his mouth.
"Coming?"
He didn't look back, he didn't even move.
But it was as if he had eyes on his back, and he seemed to have already sensed who was coming.
"Hmm!"
Hearing his father's somewhat tired voice, Nan Ruosu nodded and said, "Dad is worried about Yan Zizai and the two?" β
The variable between Yan Zizai and Wu Sansi can be regarded as something that Nan Ruosu did not expect, and he did not expect that the news of the court would be so well-informed.
"The sudden appearance of Yan Zizai and Wu Sansi is indeed a big variable."
Nan Xuanji did not deny it, and said: "However, the appearance of the two of them is not unexpected by me. β
When he said this, he suddenly straightened up and said coldly: "Because, in the northern border army, it is not a strange thing to be planted by all sides. β
The distance between Luoxia City and White Dragon City is not close, even if it is a fast horse's footsteps, it is impossible to reach it without three or five days.
And Yan Zizai and Wu Sansi appeared in White Dragon City early this morning, which means that they had received the news at least three days ago, or even earlier.
"The children know what is going on in the border army, and please rest assured!"
Nan Ruosu smiled slightly and said, "As Dad said, their appearance is also expected by the child. β
Nan Xuanji knew that he was familiar with the situation in the border army, so he didn't say anything more.
Nan Ruosu put his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, leaned over and said, "Dad has other things in mind?" β
Nan Xuanji glanced back at him, frowned, and said, "There was a young girl in White Dragon City last night, do you know about this?" β
"Young girls? Could it be her? β
Nan Ruosu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and at this moment, that exquisite cheek suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Looks like you should know about this person."
Seeing this, Nan Xuanji leaned his body on the wheelchair again, and asked lightly, "What do you think of this girl?" β
"How?"
Hearing his father's words, Nan Ruosu's face suddenly turned red, and he said truthfully: "It's very good, it's a refreshing person." β
Although he didn't know why his father suddenly asked about the girl, he knew that everything he did last night did not escape his father's eyes.
It's just that he doesn't understand how his father, who has always asked little about gossip, suddenly became interested in a little girl's film.
Is it because of my ridiculous behavior last night?
But thinking about it, Nan Ruosu felt that there was no such possibility, although he carried the girl around White Dragon City in a big circle last night, but with his father's character, he would definitely not ask about this kind of thing.
He is quite relieved to do things in a measured manner.
"Cheerful?"
Hearing his son's answer, Nan Xuanji was stunned for a moment, and said, "Then do you know where this girl comes from?" β
Nan Ruosu didn't want to think about it, and blurted out, "Old man Su said that he was from Luoxia City. β
After saying a word, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said: "What does my father mean, it is very likely that she also came to find out?" β
Coming up to White Dragon City at this juncture is unbelievable, why didn't he think of this before?
"No, I mean, don't let her be your variable!"
Nan Xuanji shook his head and said, "Let her be a little girl to find out, the one in Luoxia City will not be so stupid." β
"By the way, Dad, I already saw her last night......"
Before Nan Ruosu's words were finished, Nan Xuanji didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot: "I know, you still carried people to Huiyan Tower!" β
Nan Ruosu's roots were hot, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said, "Dad, that's not what I'm talking about, when I saw her last night, I remember that she said that she came for my brother, and she didn't seem to believe in my brother's martyrdom." β
Thanks to Nan Xuanji's back to him, if he saw Nan Ruosu's appearance, he would probably be surprised.
Nan Xuanji casually pulled a bamboo leaf and asked, "What do you think of this bamboo?" β
Nan Ruosu quickly cleaned up her emotions, looked at the verdant purple bamboo forest in front of her, and her eyes immediately became firm, "After frost, you don't change your demeanor, warm as jade!" β
Even though his father Nan Xuanji's words changed very quickly, Nan Ruosu still understood the meaning of his father's words.
Bamboo has a demeanor, like a gentleman, modest and low-key, arrogant and unfolding.
"Even if the root is strong and tough, it will eventually sway with the wind!"
After a moment of silence, Nan Xuanji let go of the bamboo leaf in his hand, and saw that the tiny bamboo strip was swaying back and forth, he gently patted the armrest of the wheelchair, and said: "No matter where she came from, pay more attention, it will be harmless after all!" β
"The child remembers."
Nan Ruosu thought for a while, and then nodded as if he didn't understand, "By the way, Dad, I want to build a small house on Wanglong Mountain!" β
Nan Xuanji glanced at him a little uncertainly, and said, "Build a small house?" What is it for? β
Nan Ruosu had a straight face and said, "Keep filial piety!" β
Nan Xuanji immediately understood his thoughts and asked, "When will it be built?" β
"Let's start this afternoon, there are many witnesses to bear!"
Nan Ruosu didn't have to think about it at all, when he came down from Wanglong Mountain, he had already thought about it.
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it now!"
Nan Xuanji did not hesitate, and agreed directly, and when he was leaving, he suddenly turned his head and said: "By the way, Mr. Su sent a cart of apricot blossom brew to the White Dragon Inn today, and if you have a chance to turn around, thank him for me." β
Regardless of whether Nan Ruosu really understood or not, after finishing speaking, he pushed the wheelchair and left.
"Old man Su? Interesting! β
After Nan Xuanji left, Nan Ruosu was stunned for a while, as if she couldn't believe that Old Man Su would have such good intentions.
In the end, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said to himself: "In that case, I should indeed thank him!" β
After a short time, Nan Ruosu left the City Lord's Mansion.
He left with a large number of guards from the City Lord's Mansion escorting several wagons of logs.
Nan Ruosu led the way at the forefront, and a group of people marched towards the direction of Wanglong Mountain.
On the way, I met many people who looked sideways and expressed puzzlement about their fanfare.
After a while, the City Lord's Mansion released the news, saying that Nan Ruosu was going to build a small house on Wanglong Mountain to keep filial piety for his eldest brother Nan Ruo.
As soon as this news came out, it quickly fell into the ears of everyone in White Dragon City, and everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had been transporting logs to Wanglong Mountain with great fanfare before.
Although many of them hated Nan Ruosu, a guy who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, they also had to admit that he did have a heart this time, and finally lived up to his brother's preference and care for him for so many years.
Soon, under the leadership of Nan Ruosu, the group of people from the City Lord's Mansion transported several truckloads of good logs to the halfway point of Wanglong Mountain.
Yan Zizai and Wu Sansi, who were kneeling in front of the new grave, were a little dazed by Nan Ruosu's sudden operation.
Calculating the time, they have been kneeling here for more than an hour, and their legs and feet have long been numb, but Shen Lianchong, who is like a javelin, is watching from the side, so that the two of them dare not move.
It's really a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say the bitterness.
However, it was not for nothing that they knelt here, at least so far, the two of them had gone through all the secrets of the palace that they could know in their minds.
They hoped that Nan Ruosu would be able to torture their souls now.
However, Nan Ruosu, who is bent on building a small house, can still take care of them at the moment?
After the guards unloaded the logs, he commanded the guards to set them up on the spot.
Although Nan Ruosu himself had never done this kind of manual work, he was the first to command, and he explained in detail the specific location and approximate size of the small house.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion also listened very carefully, putting aside the identity of Nan Ruosu, the young city lord, the current task, but the city lord personally arranged it, can they not care?
