Chapter Twenty-Five: A Guest from Far Away
Yang Shifei was slightly embarrassed, and Luo Xian'er glanced at the two meaningfully.
But when the atmosphere was stiff, Sandalwood quickly retracted his gaze and returned to his former indifference.
"Miss, a distinguished guest has come to visit."
β... Who is it? β
"The Shoujian Sect and his party who just arrived in Dongcheng, and the little county lord who insisted on coming along."
"Take them to the guest hall first, make tea, and make some pastries for entertainment."
"Yes." Sandalwood bowed slightly, stepped on graceful steps and turned to leave.
Seeing her reaction as if she was fine, Yang Shifei was a little relieved in his heart, and he inevitably muttered, and he couldn't guess what the maid was thinking.
Luo Xian'er was thoughtful and glanced sideways at Yang Shifei.
"Would you like to come with me to meet the guests?"
"Me?" Yang Shifei retracted his thoughts, and couldn't help frowning: "I heard what Sandalwood said just now, there is another one among the guests... Princess? β
Miss Luo's social circle is becoming more and more exaggerated.
"She is the daughter of Shangwutao, the king of Dingjiang, and the palace is in the area of Beicheng District."
Luo Xian'er looked calm: "Although she is the county lord, she is also approachable in temperament, and it is not troublesome to get along." β
Yang Shifei thought for a moment, and quickly nodded in response.
After all, Luo Xian'er has already declared her identity as a 'fiancΓ©' to the outside world, so these scenes naturally have to help one or two.
"But that sect... Doesn't that sound weird? β
"It means 'guard' and 'mountain stream'."
Luo Xian'er cast a disgusted gaze: "Although this sect is not the first in the Liang Kingdom, it is also one of the prosperous sects of a large scale, and it has a close relationship with the royal family. Two hundred years ago, the founder of the sect guarded the Tianshui Stream with several disciples, repelled 300 sharp soldiers, and protected the emperor who was ambushed at that time, so he was given the name 'Shou Stream'. β
Yang scratched his head and smiled. Thankfully, I didn't talk too much.
Seeing his funny reaction, Luo Xian'er's eyes softened slightly: "Let's go." β
...
After a short time, the two came to the Luofu Guest Hall.
Several young people from the guest seat hurriedly got up and hugged their fists, seeing that they were wearing white clothes and green robes, with their hair tied and their swords, they all had extraordinary bearings.
And the white-bearded old man at the head was dressed as an old Taoist priest, with a kind smile on his face: "Miss Luo." I haven't seen it for a year, and I've grown a little taller. β
Luo Xian'er's footsteps were not slow, and she responded indifferently: "Old Yan, you look good." But I wonder where the little county lord has gone? β
"Hehe, the little county lord is a little naughty, and he followed your maid to the back kitchen to mess around."
β... That's it, the county lord has his own measure. β
Luo Xian'er looked at the few people behind the old man: "These are..."
"They are the apprentices of the old man, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, they are all young and promising geniuses."
The white-bearded old man known as Yan Lao smiled and said, "I don't want to come in handy this time, just see the world more." If there is any dirty work, they can also run errands. β
Several young people from the Shoujian Sect were now holding their breath, amazed by the dreamlike beauty in front of them, and they felt that any heavenly fairy was nothing more than that.
just moved his eyes, and soon noticed Yang Shifei who was accompanying him, and frowned.
Yan Lao also sighed lightly: "Miss Luo, who is this little brother?" β
"It's my fiancΓ©." Luo Xian'er opened her lips indifferently: "Because the marriage contract has just been made, there are not many people who know about it." β
Yang Shifei arched his hand at the right time, showing a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant.
The eyes of several disciples of the Shoujian Sect were full of regret, and they didn't want such a beautiful woman to belong to the world, so they could only sigh with regret.
In addition to practicing martial arts on weekdays, they also read poetry and books, so they naturally disdain to do the next thing to win the love of others, and they are only envious of the Yang Gongzi in front of them.
But Yan Lao's reaction was a little big.
His eyes widened suddenly, his wrinkled old face was full of shock, and he lost his voice: "Miss, you... When did you find your fiancΓ©?! β
"Soon." Luo Xian'er probed slightly, and motioned to everyone to take a seat: "My mother's side has been urging for a long time, and I want to find a fiancΓ© in person, so that my mother's side can live in peace, and I have recently got what I wanted." β
As she spoke, she gently grabbed Yang Shifei's sleeve, and the two came to the main seat side by side.
"Actually, it turned out to be the eldest lady and you found it yourself?"
Yan Lao's tone was full of surprise, and his face changed even more.
This strange reaction, not to mention Yang Shifei, felt very strange, and even several disciples behind the old man had strange expressions on their faces.
Strange.
They weren't in a hurry, why were the elders in a hurry?
Looking at the expression of the great elder, this trip should not be to come to his grandson to say that he is engaged... Wait, the Great Elder doesn't have any grandchildren?
The disciples of the Shoujian Sect looked confused.
But seeing that the atmosphere is not right at the moment, they all have a headache about whether to pull the elder and let him react too out of line, what to do if he scares the eldest lady.
Later, if they make trouble in other people's houses, they can't explain it... Not to mention that it hasn't been bothered yet!
"Uh-"
Yan Lao reacted consciously, smiled a little embarrassedly, and sat down.
"This matter was really unexpected, I didn't expect the eldest lady to find a wishful husband. But I don't know if I want to tell about it..."
"Not necessarily." Luo Xian'er took a sip of tea, and her tone was as quiet as before: "This is my own marriage, and it has nothing to do with others." β
Yan Lao wanted to speak and stopped, and finally only turned into a sigh: "Then the eldest lady should take care of herself in the future, if there is anything wrong, we Shoujian Sect can also try to help one or two." β
"Thank you Yan Lao for your concern, I will be more careful."
The conversation between the two sides was a little riddled, and Yang Shifei heard it a little foggy, only knowing that there might be some unknown secrets hidden behind Miss Luo.
Should it be related to his family background?
But fortunately, Yan Lao didn't have another seizure, and chatted with Luo Xian'er about the situation in various parts of Liang Kingdom, and talked about the recent situation in Dongcheng.
Yang Shifei sat quietly and listened quite attentively.
In ancient times, it was very difficult and limited to transmit information, and it was naturally rare to hear a little news from outside the eastern city.
It's a pity that the conversation between the two sides was only superficial, and Yan Lao quickly changed back to the topic.
"The eldest lady has been living a stable life recently, as for this little brother..."
Yan Lao turned his eyes and looked at Yang Shifei with interest: "The face is white and handsome, it is indeed the appearance of an elegant scholar, I don't know if you have ever won any fame?" β
"Let Yan Lao see and laugh."
Yang Shifei quietly arched his hand and said: "I am a native of Niujia Village, and I don't have any fame, I have only learned some arithmetic, and now I am a bookkeeper in Qingyue Lou." β
"Ah, the old man guessed wrong."
Yan Lao patted his forehead, but his eyes were even more surprised.
Luo Xian'er put down the teacup and said lightly: "Not only Mr. Bookkeeper, but he has also learned martial arts for a few days, and his strength is not bad. β
"Oh?" Yan Lao raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "This is the old man's strength." β
And several disciples of the Shoujian Sect also cast curious glances and secretly looked at Yang right and wrong.
This person has a good physique, and he is indeed not as weak as an ordinary scholar. With a sharp gaze and a straight back, it is a good frame for practicing martial arts.
It's a pity that he seems to be a little older. If you practice martial arts now, you can probably only strengthen your body, and it is quite difficult to practice internal breath.
"The little brother has good bones, but it's a pity that he is a little older." Old Yan stroked his white beard lightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Why don't I teach you a health martial art, so that you can strengthen your body and take better care of Miss Luo in the future?" β
Yang Shifei smiled, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but his sleeve was gently pulled.
Glancing sideways, I saw Luo Xian'er blinking her beautiful eyes and whispering: "It's okay, Old Yan has a good relationship with my Luo family." Teaching you martial arts should be a greeting gift for the older generation. β
"Miss Luo is right." Yan Lao smiled and waved his hand: "Little brother doesn't have to see outside. β
β... Thanks to the old-timers. β
"You might as well follow the old man to the atrium and practice a few times for the little brother to see." Yan Lao patted the handrail and stood up: "Wait for a few days, the old man will redraw a picture album and then hand it over to the little brother." β
...
After a short time, everyone walked out of the guest hall and came to the wide courtyard.
Yan Lao took the lead and walked down the steps, rolled up his sleeves, looked back and smiled: "Little brother, if you don't understand something, the old man will show you a few more times." β
Yang Shifei nodded: "I will try to remember." β
"Hehe, then the old man will start."
After saying that, Yan Lao quickly took out his luck, stretched out his hands, and the momentum around his body changed suddenly.
Seeing this situation, Yang Shifei's eyes moved slightly.
Although he seems to be old and thin, this natural momentum is really not to be underestimated, and he is worthy of being an elder.
While he was concentrating, the disciples of the Shoujian Sect on the side were sweating profusely.
What's going on with Elder Yan today?
They obviously came to visit, but the kung fu that could be taught was the most difficult martial art to learn in the sect.
Even those young geniuses had to endure a lot of hardships, and they had to endure several days of hard work before they could get started. And now it is taught on the spot, who can remember it, it is clearly to make people ugly.
This Brother Yang looks honest and honest, and others are kind to him, how can he be so bullied.
The disciples of the Shoujian Sect swallowed their saliva, their palms sweated, and they secretly looked at each other, already thinking about it in their hearts.
If this Yang brother didn't remember a single move later, they would stand up and say a few good words to slow down the scene, and then seriously teach a few simple swordsmanship, and send a sword to resolve the embarrassment of the scene.
If they can barely imitate a trick and a half, they will praise them a lot.
This is not deliberate, after all, there is not a single disciple in their entire sect who can learn it at once, if this person can really learn some ways, it is too late for them to admire.
