48 departure
The evening before leaving for Putuo Temple, Mama Cui helped arrange the carriage and horses, and all the luggage was loaded into the car. On the day of departure to Putuo Temple, there were only five masters and servants left, each wearing thick clothes, which was also very convenient.
At the beginning of the day, it was still dark outside. There were no stars or moons in the sky, and a cold wind blew, which made people shiver and shiver from the cold, and they wished that they could hide their heads in cotton clothes.
Su Xin muttered in a low voice, "This ghost weather, it won't snow." ”
Su Jin: "It's hard to say if it won't snow, but the sky is so low that I'm afraid it will rain." ”
Hearing this, Sang Xuanyue said, "Let's go, if it rains on the road, we will suffer." ”
The courtyard door creaked open, and Sang Xuanyue walked out, wondering if there was any omission in his arrangement, but as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he looked up, and he didn't want to run into Shizhou at this point in time.
Shi Zhou held a book in his hand and was about to go to the council hall to read.
In addition to him, there were several other Qing guests who were also from high births, and they were all used to going to the council hall in the morning. Several people study together, one can complement each other's knowledge, and the other is that the atmosphere is sufficient, and they can learn more; In addition, if it is cold today, the charcoal fire in the council hall will be supplied all night, and if you go to the council hall to study, you can burn the charcoal fire in your own yard, so that your family can use it more and not suffer from the cold.
Xing Xingzhou saw Sang twisting the moon's eyes brightened, and under the reflection of the yellow lantern, her face added two points of warmth at this time, and the whole person became more and more radiant and beautiful.
Shi Zhou didn't dare to look at her face too directly, and hurriedly turned his head sideways, but his face and ears were quietly stained red. But I don't know what to think, but his face turned pale again in an instant, and the whole person looked hasty.
Sang Xuanyue didn't have time to pay attention to Shizhou's complexion, and she had already made a decision in her heart, so she avoided suspicion even more.
The two sides saluted each other and then walked out together.
Shi Zhou didn't talk much in the past, but it wasn't a few, and today he seemed to be preoccupied, except for the first time after greeting each other, he didn't say anything.
The atmosphere has been silent, and even Qing'er realizes that something is wrong. He looked at his sister uneasily, and then at Shi Zhou, wanting to say something, but in the end he wisely shut up.
When he was about to walk to the door of the council hall, Shi Zhou, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and spoke.
For some reason, his voice was so hoarse that he seemed weak to speak. The eyes that occasionally swept over were struggling and hesitant, but he said something decent to let Qing'er pay attention to safety all the way.
The words were said to Qing'er, but his eyes drifted to Sang Xuanyue for a while. This look, as long as you are not stupid or stupid, you know that it is turning around and wiping the horns to care for Sang and twist the moon.
It's a pity that Sang Twisting Moon has a big idea, and whatever decision she really has to make, whether it's right or wrong, she will stubbornly carry it out.
Sang Xuanyue didn't speak, she lowered her head and looked at the ground in front of her, Qing'er was about to respond to a few sounds, that is, at this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in front of her.
The footsteps were familiar, and they had been in her dreams last night. Now I don't know if she was in a trance and remembered the embarrassing scene yesterday, or if she was unlucky and met Shen Hou again.
Raising his head, under the dark canopy, Shen Hou stepped out of the front yard. He was dressed in a purple Dake Aya Luo court robe, with a jade belt hook around his waist, a gold crown on his head, and black moire court boots on his feet. He was already dignified and majestic, but now he is dressed in court clothes, which makes him even more majestic and solemn, and his face is cold and solemn.
Shen Tingjun noticed that there were a few people stopped here, looked sideways, and then his sword eyebrows furrowed fiercely. His expression suddenly made several people's scalps tingle, and a strong sense of oppression came to their faces before they could speak.
Shizhou and Qing'er were busy with the ceremony, and Sang was a step slower and blessed.
Shen Tingjun looked at this strange combination and asked coldly, "Where is Runsheng?" ”
Shi Shizhou didn't know why, but he always felt that the tone of Hou Ye's speech today was questioning and indifferent. But Hou Ye was in front of him, and he couldn't allow him to think wildly, so Shi Xingzhou immediately replied respectfully, "Back to Hou Ye, my subordinates are about to go to the council hall to study." He hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to explain the origin of this meeting, but he didn't say anything in the end, so he could only say something at the signal of Hou Ye, "If Hou Ye has no other instructions, his subordinates will go in first." ”
Shen Tingjun bowed his head, and the execution boat stepped into the council hall.
Walking forward, he remembered that he hadn't said hello to the Sang Xuanyue siblings yet. But Hou Ye is in front of him, doesn't he look like a mother-in-law when he looks back at this time?
And then there's the gossip......
Could it be that he is really similar to Miss Sang's ex-husband?
Shi Zhou hesitated in his heart, but his steps seemed to have his own consciousness, and he walked straight to the inside of the council hall.
The cold wind whistled by, and the lanterns rattled. A few people outside stood silently, but Shen Tingjun was the first to speak, "Get up so early, where are you going?" ”
Qing'er looked at Shen Tingjun timidly, not daring to reply. Sang Xuanyue had to look up, and saw that his eyes were as heavy as black jade, staring at her. Sang twisted the moon's hand, and the handkerchief was almost thrown to the ground. Finally stabilized, she hurriedly staggered her gaze and didn't look at him, and only replied respectfully, "Approaching my mother's birthday, I will take my younger brother to Putuo Temple to offer incense to my mother." Is Master Hou going to the court? ”
Shen Tingjun said "um", as if he was careless, "Let's go together." ”
Sang Xuanyue and the others were flattered and wanted to excuse themselves, after all, it was too much pressure to walk with Shen Hou, and they were also afraid of the gossip of the people in the house. But Shen Tingjun had already stepped forward, and it was too late to say anything at this time. Besides, it was too early, and there were no other people along the way......
Sang Xuanyue and her younger brother followed silently, and the two walked slowly, unconsciously lagging behind. Shen Tingjun didn't know when he stopped in place, as if waiting for them.
Although this speculation was a bit ridiculous, Sang Xuanyue and Qing'er still hurriedly stepped forward.
No one said anything on the way, and when he walked to the gate, Shen Tingjun patted Qing'er's shoulder, as if admonishing him, "Although you are young, you are a man, go out, take care of yourself and your sister." ”
Sang Xuanyue's heart flashed strangely, and she wanted to look up to see what Shen Hou looked like now. But the vague gaze always fell on her, Sang twisted the moon's heart like a mess, gritted his teeth and stiffened his head without looking up, only revealing a black hair top, whatever he looked.
On the other hand, Qing'er, I don't know if it was the first time she was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, or if it was the advice and importance from Wu'an Hou that made people's hearts surge, I saw that the little guy suddenly straightened his chest, and said with a righteous and stern face, "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will." ”
The horse's hooves kicked and stomped, and soon they were about to run.
The alley was already empty, and it was the "dead of night" time, and for a while the whole alley was only the echo of horses running. Obviously, there are only two people and two horses, but there seem to be thousands of troops and horses, the momentum is terrifying, and it makes the man's blood boil, and he can't wait to pull out a horse and gallop out immediately.
Qing'er looked at the direction where the horse disappeared with envy, and it was Sang Twist Yue who pulled his sleeve before Qing'er came back to his senses.
Qing'er asked her sister, "When will I learn to ride a horse?" ”
"When we move out, my sister will find you a martial arts master and send you to learn some martial arts and riding archery."
"Can't you send me to the academy? I heard that the six arts of gentlemen are taught in the academy. If I had entered the academy, my sister wouldn't have had to ask me for a master. ”
Sang Xuanyue made a thoughtful gesture, "It's not impossible. ”
She took her younger brother's hand in the carriage, but Qing'er hesitated again, "I still don't go to the academy." I was the only boy in the family, and if I went to the academy, my sister would be the only one left in the family. My sister is my daughter's family, and I don't worry about leaving my sister at home. ”
Sang Xuanyue was warmed by her younger brother, and a warm current suddenly surged in her heart.
The younger brother finally has some responsibility, but when they will move out of the Hou Mansion, it is unknown. Thinking about this now, that would be too far to think.
