Chapter 247: Weaving Willows
Leaving Weicheng, coming to Chang'an, entering the academy, desperately climbing the building, and finally entering the back mountain, but before he had time to learn something, Ning Que was going to take the students in the front yard to Yanbei Biansai, now that I think about it, this must be the result of the discussion between His Majesty the Emperor and the academy.
Came to the wasteland, but followed the news from the Tianshu, the mountain gate of the Demon Sect in the depths of the wasteland was opened, and the Book of Heaven appeared, Ning Que had no choice but to go north, and after so many tests and even torture, he finally inherited the mantle of the little uncle, no matter how you look at it, it is the embodiment of the master's will.
His Majesty the Emperor and Master Yan Se did not hesitate to hand over the great array of Chang'an City to him, and these things proved the trust and expectations of the imperial court and the academy for themselves.
Ning Que knew it very well, so he didn't feel surprised when he heard Li Yu's words, but he never thought about it carefully, because he was indifferent and ruthless, and he still felt that those deaths were sad things.
"I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. ”
Ning Que said.
Li Yu said in a slightly astringent voice: "Maybe what I said is not good, and occasionally when I think about the future, I will be dazed, nervous and sad." But people will leave when they are old, my father is in the prime of life, but in fact, the body is far from what it seems, I have asked the Tai Hospital before marrying the Golden Horde, my father had suffered a serious injury back then, the injury has continued to this day, and the medicine stone is powerless at all, so he will often cough. ”
Ning Que thought about the scene when he got along with His Majesty in the imperial study, remembered those inexplicable idiot scoldings with pleasure, and those occasional coughs, and was silent.
"Although Xu Shi is said to be a peak martial arts powerhouse, he is already very old, and the whole world knows that he has an old lung disease, no matter how much he recupes, he can't cure it.
"Master is the most calm and powerful mountain in my Tang Dynasty, it seems that it will be verdant forever, but his old man has lived for more than a hundred years, can he live forever?"
Li Yu looked at Ning Que and said calmly: "The river of birth, old age, sickness and death is surging, it is irreversible, the master and father are thinking about the future, what qualifications do you and I have not to think?"
Ning Que took the cup of cold Sangqi tea in her hand, walked back to the desk and put it down, held the edge of the table with both hands, and after thinking silently for a moment, he said, "At least there are still many years." ”
Li Dao frowned slightly.
Ning Que said: "Master and His Majesty can live for at least ten or twenty years, and by that time I will be much stronger than now, or the senior brother or the second senior brother will be able to sit in the position after the master leaves, I think the Tang Dynasty at that time will be as powerful as it is now, so I don't think I need to think about anything now." ”
Li Yu said: "I told you before, my request to you is very simple, when the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty really needs the academy to come forward, please stand by my side." ”
Ning Que didn't turn around, looked up at the faint ancient trees outside the window, looked at the Yanming Lake in the distance of the woods, thought about the appearance of this lake in the cold winter, thought about Xiahou, and thought about the inseparable blood relationship between Xiahou and the queen, and said: "If there really is a day, I will not stand on the queen's side." ”
Li Yu was somewhat satisfied with his answer, but he still regretted that he refused to express his attitude directly, looking at his back, a faint look appeared between his beautiful eyebrows, and he sighed softly and said: "If I had known that things would develop like this, I shouldn't have let you go in the first place." ”
Ning Que turned around and said, "At that time, you and I were not originally from the same world, and I was not a person who was willing to be caught, so there was no need to regret it." ”
Li Yu slowly walked up to him and looked into his eyes, as if he wanted to see something.
"If I don't catch you, I can stay with you, I've been wondering, if I hadn't stood up by the campfire at that time, would we have stayed in one world?"
Ning Que recalled the bonfire at the Beishan Road Pass, the maidservants and fairy tales by the fire, and those conversations, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and said, "The key is that the price you offered me at that time was too low. ”
Hearing his words, Li Yu clearly noticed that he was a little emotional and evasive back then, some regrets, and some quiet joy, and said with a smile: "If I had known that your little maid would become the Great Priest of Light in the Xiling Temple, I would definitely offer the highest price." ”
Ning Que smiled and asked, "How high can it be?"
In the eyes of the women in the world, Ning Que's appearance is fresh, but not handsome, but when he laughs, he is extremely cute, especially a few freckles and that little dimple. The girls in the red sleeves were fascinated by the young man's dimples and freckles and fresh breath.
At this time, his smiling appearance was reflected in the depths of Li Yu's eyes, she subconsciously raised her hand, touched the small dimples on his face, and said, "Your freckles are getting lighter and lighter." ”
Ning Que felt the slippery fingertips on his face, lost his mind slightly, and said, "Sangsang often uses a lot of Chen Kum Kee's fat powder, so he will give it to me evenly, probably because of this?"
Li Yu suddenly woke up and quickly withdrew his hand.
"I suffered a loss. ”
Ning Que looked at her and said very seriously.
Li Yu's cheeks were slightly flushed, but there was no shyness in his bright eyes, and he tilted his head slightly and quipped: "If you are not afraid of Sangsang being jealous, what is it if you touch it back." ”
Ning Que coughed twice, resisted the urge to reach out and touch her smooth and slightly pointed chin with great difficulty, put his hands behind his back, and asked...... Speaking of the Sangsang people?"
"It's definitely telling a story to Xiaoman. ”
Li Yu's eyes fluttered, and he said, "Don't tease you, I'll look for her." ”
Ning Que and Situ Yilan walked along Yanming Lake, talking casually in the cool lake breeze, just to pay attention to reaching out from time to time to brush away the annoying willow branches that came to their faces.
Situ Yilan failed to participate in the Spring War on the wasteland, so he was a little disappointed, and this loss fell in Ning Que's eyes, but he felt a little ridiculous.
"I don't know what you're thinking, what's the point of fighting?"
"Reading books in the academy every day, and learning from girls in the house, don't you feel bored?"
"I'm a man, not a girl, and if I were you, I wouldn't be bored. ”
"That's not what you said when you were at Camp Bluewater. ”
The two of them walked on the bluestone road, just like last year on the white rock beach on the blue sea of Biansai, and the atmosphere was calm and without the slightest impurity, surrounding the young man and woman.
"Stay away from her. ”
Ning Que suddenly spoke.
Situ Yilan glanced up at him, knowing that she was referring to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and said puzzledly: "I don't understand what you mean, what do you want to say?"
There were willow branches hanging down on the lake embankment, brushing down his cheeks, Ning Que was a little annoyed, reached out to pluck a branch, and said: "Back then, you were young and could follow her to gallop down the long street, proud and proud, but if you really want to aspire to become a female general of the Tang Dynasty, you must understand that it is not the same thing as the women's army." ”
After thinking quietly for a long time, Situ Yilan raised her head to look at him and said, "I want to be the female general of the Tang Dynasty, not anyone's female general." ”
Seeing that she understood what she meant, Ning Que nodded appreciatively, handed over the grasshopper made of willow branches in his hand, and said, "Reward you." ”
Situ Yilan took the lovely willow grasshopper, was very happy, and asked, "You are really fast." ”
Ning Que picked another willow branch and said: "When Sangsang was young, she often cried when she was hungry, so I would find some leaves and weave some gadgets to make her happy, and it was natural to do it quickly." ”
Situ Yilan looked at the expression on his face and quipped: "Take a picture of the lake, and you can find out how hateful your pride must be at this time." ”
Ning Que said proudly: "Why is it not good at it?"
Situ Yilan blinked his eyes and asked, "Is the group proud of his skill, or is he coaxing Sang Sang to be proud?"
Ning Que said: "They are all proud, but the latter is more proud." ”
Situ Yilan coughed lightly twice, and asked with a smile: "In those days, there have been rumors about you and the bookworm in Chang'an City, and many people, including Wucai, have seen you swim arm in arm with that bookworm girl, why didn't you get along with your own little maid after a few days? Sangsang suddenly became a young lady in the university scholar's mansion, which was already very surprising, and this change was even more surprising. ”
Ning Que was stunned and asked, "Isn't it okay?"
Situ Yilan raised the willow grasshopper in front of him, looked extremely naughty, and said, "What's wrong with it?, it's just that many people say that you have played with the feelings of a bookworm and are very ashamed of you." ,、
Ning Que waved his arms, and said angrily: "Where are you playing? Where are you playing! I have become like this, what do you still want me to do?"
"Besides, when did I swim with her when I was outside?"
He stretched out his arm into the lake breeze and protested indignantly: "I swam together, but where did I put my arm? I didn't even touch her hand!"
The new house on the shore of Yanming Lake was completed, and under the strong request of Sangsang, Ning Que did not invite the housekeeper and servant Yahuan, nor did he waste money to hold any opening ceremony.
But since Li Yu brought Yilan here, Ning Que thought that it seemed that he still had to do some superficial work, so he went back to the mountain behind the academy and invited the senior brothers and sisters to come as guests.
Sure enough, as he expected, the senior brothers and sisters in the mountains behind the academy were not interested in this kind of thing at all, and he felt a little relaxed, but he couldn't help but feel a little shameless.
Unexpectedly, Chen Pipi came with Tang Xiaotang the next day.
Ning Que rowed the oars, rocked the boat, looked at the dead fat man lying on the bow of the boat sighing and urging, and felt angry, thinking that it was Sangsang rowing on the lake on weekdays, and Uncle Ben enjoyed it, but after you came, I had to serve you, what is the reason?
I think so, but I can't say it, because the academy is the most particular...... To be precise, the second senior brother pays the most attention to brothers, friends and brothers, since Chen Pipi is a senior brother, then it is natural that he can assign Ning Que to do things, even if Ning Que has any opinions on this, he doesn't have the courage to reason with the second senior brother.
"I said, can you hurry up! You haven't eaten today?"
Chen Pipi looked at the boat in front of him that was about to disappear into the lotus field, and looked at the figure of Tang Xiaotang on the boat, so he was about to jump to his feet and scolded Ning Que angrily.
Ning Que threw down the oar and said angrily: "You have eaten the lunch at noon, where will I eat!"
