Chapter 61, Old Wounds
"But anyone would like to give it a try?" Alchi looked at the crowd, but no one stepped forward.
Those who know martial arts can't play the piano, and those who can play the piano can't do martial arts, and those who have both are not interested in the so-called prizes, mainly because they will lose face in front of foreigners if they lose.
Wei Li took a glass of sake and tasted it slowly, his eyes were on Chu Luan from time to time, he wanted to know what was the relationship between Chu Luan and Al Chi, and whether she would accept the challenge.
Xuan Jun looked at Chu Luan and still held the worthless thing in his hand, three years have passed, how long will this Wei Wei be entangled? He shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then! There was also obvious anger in his words, "Ah Luan! ”
Chu Luan gently placed the pearl on the table, got up and saluted, "I'm distracted, I'm sorry." Chu Luan punished himself here. After speaking, he drank the sake in front of him without any delay.
Everyone was suspicious in their hearts, but they didn't ask too much.
Alchi took back the pearl, still a little unwilling, "Isn't the county lord really going to win this pearl?" ”
"Chu Luan is not good at piano sound, so he won't be ugly."
People who have a good relationship with Chu Luan in Jiangnan know that since Wei Wei left, Chu Luan has never touched the piano again.
Back then, Chu Luan stroked the qin and Wei Wei danced the sword, and the two looked very compatible.
But Xiao Wang remembered that the sound of the county lord's piano back then was a must in the south of the Yangtze River. Xiao Wang is fortunate enough to hear it, it doesn't look like he's not good at piano sound. County lord, in front of your Central Plains Son of Heaven, do you want to bully the king? "Al Chifei wants to force Chu Luan to fight. Originally, Chu Luan's excuse was nothing, but once the charge of bullying the monarch was arrested, then the matter would be serious. At that time, no matter whether Murong Chuyao minded or not, for the sake of the dignity of the emperor, he had to severely punish Chu Luan.
Chu Luan seemed to have a countermeasure, not only did she not show any hurry, but she also calmly and slowly lifted the layers of sleeves on her left hand, and opened the sleeves of the last layer of white underwear, and everyone saw the wristbands tied on her thin white arms. Chu Luan untied the rope and took off the wristband little by little, the process was very careful, so that no one could find the slender silver needles and tough strings under the wristband. She handed the wristband to Yunu.
Wei Li's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Chu Luan's arm was strangely protruding in some places, as if it was extending from the inside of her arm.
But soon, he knew what those dots of dark red were.
I saw Chu Luan raise her arm, and everyone saw more than a dozen healed scars on her white arm that shouldn't have been. Those scars are obviously knife wounds, some deep and some shallow, but that position should not have been done by someone else, it is very likely that Chu Luan cut it himself! The scars are old wounds, but the pain will never heal.
Many people were surprised, how could a person who looked so delicate have such courage and ruthlessness.
"Ahh A little girl like Qin Yuan called out directly when she saw it.
Yu Nu also stood up in shock, couldn't speak for a long time, pulled Chu Luan's left hand, wanted to touch it but didn't dare to touch it, could only gently touch it with his fingertips and immediately bounced away as if frightened, and instead held Chu Luan's palm, crying.
Even Xuan Jun couldn't help but want to ask Chu Luan, when was this happening, and why didn't he know? He only knew that Chu Luan almost left with Wei Wei before, but he didn't know that she had been injured like this, she ...... She is such a squeamish person, how can she be willing to give up?
Chu Luan herself behaved very plainly, as if it was just an inconspicuous matter in her eyes, "Your Highness Alchi, as you can see, Chu Luan's hand is useless, how can he play the piano?" ”
"You ......" Xuan Jun looked up at Chu Luan, he suddenly felt very powerless, how could he accept such a fact? Chu Luan's piano was taught by him personally, and she began to practice the piano after worshipping him as a teacher at the age of four, and she spent the most time and energy on it over the years. Now he told him that Chu Luan's left hand was almost half disabled, how could he accept it.
Chu Luan also knew that Xuan Jun must not be able to accept this fact, so in the past two years, she has not stroked the piano in front of Xuan Jun. Not only because of Wei Wei's departure, but also because she gave up herself. She can't accompany Wei Wei, and she doesn't have any tokens to give him to accompany him below instead of herself, so she can alleviate the guilt in her heart by hurting herself.
……
After the banquet, Xuan Jun directly got into the carriage and returned to the master's mansion, completely ignoring the jade slave and Chu Luan behind him.
"Teacher......" Chu Luan finally followed him to the National Teacher's Mansion.
"Don't call me Sensei!" Hyun Jun shouted at the top of his throat, but his voice was still hoarse, he was so emotional that he couldn't help himself, and he covered his mouth and coughed violently.
Yunu hurriedly went to check on Xuan Jun's situation, "Teacher, are you okay?" ”
Xuan Jun's face was full of distress and anger, "I have personally trained you for eleven years, cough cough, and raised you to be an excellent noblewoman, and you repay me like this!" "For the sake of a subordinate, an inferior person from a lowly background, he abused himself so badly. He really regretted that he had arranged Wei Wei by her side in the first place. "If it weren't for today's incident, how long are you going to hide it from me?"
"Chu Luan lived up to the teacher's teachings, and Chu Luan knew his mistakes." She was humble in her attitude, but there was no sign of repentance in her eyes.
Xuan Jun looked at her, couldn't help shaking his head, and finally couldn't get angry, broke away from the jade slave, rushed forward in two steps, pulled Chu Luan's left hand, exposed those ugly scars to the light, and said inwardly, "Don't you know the pain, ah?" Then why don't you chop off an entire arm! When did you get this out, three years ago? ”
Chu Luan didn't reply, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"So early, then why didn't you tell me? Afraid I'll find out? Do you have any fears? Yes! As soon as Xuan Jun moved, he coughed again.
Yunu patted him on the back while persuading him to dissipate his anger.
But when people are angry, they are the most unpersuadable, the more they persuade, the more angry they are, and they will scold you together, he ruthlessly waved away the jade slave, because he was too hard, and he also followed two steps, "How did you become a senior sister?" Something happened to your junior sister, don't you know at all! ”
"It's my fault alone, my sister doesn't know." Chu Luan explained, "What I don't want to say, no one can find out. ”
"You've grown capable. That's right, you are now the county lord of Zhaoyue, you have an identity and status, so naturally you don't take me, the so-called teacher, seriously. Xuan Jun said sarcastically, after living together for more than ten years, he naturally knows the weaknesses of the other party, and where to stab the knife is the most painful, "You are back in the capital now, you have your biological father to protect you, you have brothers and sisters to accompany you, what else is Lin Gongzi Gu Gongzi is good to you, why do you need me as a teacher." Are you afraid that you have forgotten, when you were abandoned and uneducated, who took you in? Who taught you poetry and books, taught you rules? Without me, you're just that wild kid in Jiangnan who can only fight and scold the streets! ”
"Teacher!" The jade slave couldn't stand it anymore.
Xuan Jun was really angry today, completely ignoring Chu Luan's face.
"The teacher's kindness to me will never be forgotten."
"Then you swear that from now on, you will never get involved in anything related to Wei Wei, do not avenge him, do not think about him, and forget him forever."
Chu Luan didn't agree, she couldn't do it, "Wei Wei died for me, and I must avenge his revenge." ”
Xuan Jun looked at her determined eyes and was furious, "Okay, very good." Since you insist on not letting go of that subordinate, then don't say that you are my disciple of Xuanjun in the future, and you will be embarrassed! From now on, I won't force you to do anything again. You can do whatever you want, you don't have to assist Murong Jin anymore, and you don't have to marry someone you don't like to be the queen anymore. Leave the National Teacher's Mansion now, get out! Hyun Jun kept coughing.
Today, Xuan Jun said too many words, and he was so angry, his body couldn't hold it anymore. The jade slave was in a dilemma, so he could only find a way to stabilize Xuan Jun first, "Teacher, don't be angry. Instead, he also told Chu Luan, "Ah Luan, you better leave first, and wait for the teacher to be angry before coming to ask for guilt." ”
"As long as she doesn't agree to my conditions, don't step into the National Teacher's Mansion again for the rest of your life!"
"Ah Luan......" Yu Nu begged a little.
Chu Luan gently lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, "Chu Luan knows and is willing to accept all punishments." But Wei Wei's revenge must be avenged. ”
Xuan Jun can also see that Chu Luan is now not in oil and salt. There's nothing more to say, just let Yu Nu take the family law. "Are you not willing to accept all the punishment? Then move the family law! ”
"Teacher, no!" Yunu also knelt down to intercede for Chu Luan, "Ah Luan's health has not been good, how can he ......stand it?"
"Yunu, do you want to disobey me too? Ahem, ahem. ”
Yunu really doesn't know what to do, one is her sister who has hurt since she was a child, and the other is her most beloved teacher.
"Senior sister, listen to the teacher." Chu Luan took the initiative to bring it up, not wanting to embarrass the jade slave too much. And she was willing to be punished.
Looking at the two people who were tense and neither of them would bow their heads first, Yunu was very helpless, and she took out a ring three feet wide, one finger thick, and half an arm's length.
Xuan Jun no longer has the energy to do it anymore, so he can only let Yunu do it for him.
But in the end, it was a sister, and the jade slave couldn't do it, and it didn't use much strength to hit Chu Luan.
Xuan Junrao is dissatisfied, now he has no strength, and he is angry when he speaks, "If you can't do it, I'll let the other people in the house do it." ”
The jade slave didn't dare to protect Chu Luan anymore, tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes, was ruthless, and waved the ring ruler vigorously. The hard ring ruler fell on Chu Luan's back one by one, and within ten strokes, you could vaguely see a little bit of blood oozing through Chu Luan's blue clothes. The weather is already hot, and Chu Luan is wearing thin clothes, so something will definitely happen if he continues to fight like this.
Yu Nu didn't dare to make any more moves, so he knelt side by side with Chu Luan, and raised the ring ruler above his head with both hands, "Teacher, Ah Luan is weak and can't stand it." Today's events are also my responsibility, if the teacher is still angry, let me, as the senior sister, be punished. ”
"You have a deep sisterhood, so it seems that I will not be reasonable then." Xuan Jun sneered, and the senior sisters were silent.
"Chu Luan."
"The students are here."
"You're strong now, and I can't control you. Then let me see what skills you have learned over the years, and I will give you seven days to find the mastermind behind Yan Rongfang to help Murong Jin make meritorious contributions and establish prestige in the imperial court. ”
Yunu disagreed, "Seven days will not be too hasty, besides, Ah Luan still has injuries on his body." ”
"Chu Luan, you said it yourself, is seven days enough?" Xuan Jun ignored the Yu Nu's obstruction, "If you do it, I can ignore the past between you and Wei Wei." In the future, whether you want to take revenge or hate, as long as you don't delay the great cause, I will not stop it. ”
Chu Luan deeply thanked Xuanjun, "Thank you teacher for your success." ”
