『Volume 2: The Golden Volume』 "Xia Kexing" Chapter 42 Ambition
After Tang Wan'er left, Gongzi rested for a while at night and got out of bed with his arms propped up. He said to Ji Lianyue, who was sitting at the head of the bed pranayama: "Senior brother, I won't bother, you can rest well." ”
"You're just in good shape, where are you going?" Ji Lianyue opened her eyes, reached out and wrapped her arms around her wrists, pulling him back.
Childe sat back on the bed at night and said with a wry smile: "I'll go back to the house and sleep." How else can you be so weak?"
Ji Lianyue frowned, "You just rest here." "The third junior brother has always liked to cause trouble, even if he has changed his mind today, it is better to be strict. If the fourth prince of Wen comes to hold him accountable, it would be more appropriate to have himself by his side.
"Yes. Childe obediently lay back on the bed and closed his eyes. It seems that he doesn't know much about the second senior brother. He has helped him twice in a row, and he can still have such strength, and the depth of his skill is not far behind that of the senior sister. If he fights hard, he is really not his opponent. When I was angry with him before, I was afraid that he was merciful to his subordinates.
Seeing him sleeping obediently, Yinxia pulled a quilt and covered him.
Ji Lianyue sat on the edge of the bed and continued to breathe.
After a few weeks of luck, the breath was near/peaceful, Ji Lianyue glanced at the sleeping childe Ye, got up slowly, and walked towards the door.
Childe Ye suddenly opened his eyes, "Senior brother, won't you rest for a while?"
"Nope. Ji Lianyue turned her head and said, "Tomorrow is the birthday of the old owner of Wen, and I need to go out to visit the visiting guests." "Since he made an appointment with Fourth Prince Wen for the evening, it's too late to go out for a while now.
"Senior brother, why bother so much. In terms of the number of people, although this sect is not a big faction, but after the battle of the four junior brothers, it will definitely be famous. ”
"Since I am in charge of the external affairs of my own sect, I have to do things well. This is a good time to make friends, and there are always more friends on the rivers and lakes. Ji Lianyue said lightly, a light flashed in her eyes, "I want to make my sect famous in the rivers and lakes, and when the disciples in the sect walk in the rivers and lakes, they can not only hold their heads up, but also be respected." ”
"Yo, senior brother, I found that your ambition is not small!" Childe blinked.
"Ambition, who doesn't have it on the rivers and lakes. Ji Lianyue stared at each other and smiled indifferently, "Don't tell me, you have no ambition at all." ”
Childe smiled noncommittally, "But senior brother, are you sure you want to go now?" Before the words fell, he suddenly shook his hand and covered the quilt with Ji Lianyue.
Ji Lianyue was slightly taken aback, and raised her right arm to block. Childe's body flashed sharply, floated to his back, and slammed out. Ji Lianyue spun around sharply and threw out her left arm to block, but was swept by Gongziye's calf and staggered down on the bed.
"Haha, Senior Brother can't even beat me now!" Childe slapped his hands happily and laughed.
Ji Lianyue pulled open the quilt and looked at him with heavy eyebrows, her face couldn't help but be gloomy. If it weren't for the exhaustion of his power just now, how could he be suddenly attacked.
Before he could speak, Gongzi Ye smiled and said, "Senior brother, even if you want to make this sect famous, you don't have to rush for a while. Can't let those knights in the rivers and lakes see that the second senior brother of Kunlun has no other sect and his blood is vain, and he can't even stand on his feet, right?"
Ji Lianyue's face stiffened, and Gongzi Ye took the opportunity to push him to the bed with a smile, "So, senior brother should have a good rest." I went back to my room, and I slept soundly. ”
He waved goodbye to Ji Liyue and yawned and walked outside the house.
Yinxia also said goodbye to Ji Lianyue and picked up her baggage to keep up. As she walked, she asked, "There's a question I've wanted to ask for a long time, how do you practice such a clever light skill?"
Childe immediately became proud, "Of course, it's because of this childe's talent......"
"He was too naughty when he was a child, and he was punished by the senior sister all day long, and the number of punishments he was too many times to learn. Ji Liyue on the bed closed her eyes and interjected.
"Senior brother, can you not dismantle my platform. Childe turned his head to look at each other at night, depressed.
Ji Lianyue said lightly: "If you work harder on weekdays, how can you get hurt." ”
Childe was not convinced, "Hmph, the little madman works weekdays, and I don't see him less injured." ”
"A bunch of crooked reasoning. ”
"Crooked reasoning is also reasonable!"
Yinxia said to Ji Lianyue: "He is like this, the more he is reasonable, the more he is more and more energetic, you don't pay attention to him." ”
Childe Ye shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, you are my woman now, you can't be so different." ”
"Who cares about you!"
The two pushed the door out of the house, and Ji Lianyue told uneasily: "Remember what Miss Tang said just now, take a good rest." ”
"Got it!" Childe replied with a wave of his hand and closed the door for him.
Walking out of the courtyard, he squinted his eyes and leaned against the courtyard wall to slow down. Outside, the sun was dazzling, and the air was breathlessly hot. Tang Wan'er was right, she couldn't use her internal force immediately, and she felt dizzy and nauseous after only a little force.
Yinxia hurriedly stepped forward to set him up, "Where's your room?" ”
Gongzi lowered his eyelids with a "hmm" and asked casually, "If Wen Si took away the burden just now, how are you going to solve the matter of tribute and silver?"
Yinxia was stunned for a moment, "I didn't think about it that much for a while. ”
"I said, I did the thing of picking up the star tower, and it has nothing to do with you. Childe glanced at her with deep eyes, "You don't have to blame yourself, and don't think about returning the things." If you mess around like that, it will only disrupt my plans, don't you understand?" I thought she had returned the burden and would go to Xiao Yin to cooperate. But she really thinks highly of her, and she doesn't have a plan to do things at all.
"But," Yinxia lowered her head and thought for a moment, and asked, "You asked Tang Wan'er to send the spider thorn to Wen Si, so you weren't afraid that Wen Si would disrupt your plan?"
"What are you afraid of him doing?" Childe Ye lay his head lazily on her shoulder, "Wen Si can't even beat my four junior brothers, and he can only be bullied by me." ”
"Hey, what exactly is your plan?" asked Yinxia with a move of her shoulders, curious.
"You don't understand it. Childe Ye raised his hand and put his hand on her shoulder, "You can do as I say with peace of mind, and keep it safe." ”
Yinxia snorted dissatisfiedly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The first feeling was right, he was trustworthy. He had annoyed him just now, and he was still thinking about her.
The midsummer sun shone hotly on the body, the sky was unbridled blue, the colorful flowers and branches on the roadside bloomed in a row, and the warm wind passed and was stirred up and down.
Yinxia looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt that her mood suddenly improved. She adjusted her arms slightly, allowing him to lean more comfortably.
After being silent for a while, Childe Ye slowly spoke: "What I said to you in the house just now......"
A few inopportune sounds interrupted his words, and Yinxia's face turned red all of a sudden. It was from her stomach that the voice came out. Her eyes widened, staring at Childe Ye with a warning in her eyes, and if he dared to laugh at her, she would definitely throw him out on the spot.
Childe didn't smile at all, in fact he was full of resentment. Why did he finally want to talk in a serious way, and then such a thing would happen that ruined the atmosphere? Could it be that this was the retribution he had earned by being too unscrupulous? What a shameful thing!
With a serious face, he beckoned to Zhuang Ding, who was standing guard at the intersection in the distance.
Zhuang Ding saw his gesture, obviously reluctant to come but did not dare, hesitated for a moment, and walked with vigilance.
Childe Ye instructed him, "Send two meals to my room." "I worked all night last night, and it's noon, so it's no wonder she's hungry.
"Yes. Zhuang Ding replied, glancing at Yinxia with disdain. In broad daylight, he hugged the girl, such a disorderly manner, and only this so-called third prince in the Wen Mansion did it.
Yinxia sensed the meaning in his gaze, shrugged her shoulders, and motioned for Childe to stand up at night.
Childe pretended not to know, but rubbed his head on her neck socket with a comfortable face. My son is in a bad mood, so it's like this, what?
Yinxia turned her head helplessly to the side. With this guy, it's really not good to be a little thick-skinned.
Zhuang Ding's gaze was even more disdainful, and he turned around and walked away while muttering: "This blue sky and white sun ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and fell to the ground.
Childe covered his mouth and chuckled, "Alas, under this blue sky and white sun, how can someone wrestle when he walks on the ground?"
Zhuang Ding got up and looked at the bluestone ground that was so smooth that there was not a single gravel, touched his head and walked away inexplicably.
The corners of Childe's mouth turned up slightly: You deserve it, who asked you to provoke this son at such a time.
Was it his hand?Yinxia tilted her head to look at him. What a quick move! Just now she only felt his arm shake, but she didn't see how he made it.
When Zhuang Ding walked away, Gongzi's hand covering his mouth at night changed to cover his chest, and he hung his head and gasped heavily. Alas, it really can't be used anymore internal forces, just like that, there is a backlash.
"Can't you be honest?" Yinxia tapped him on the head, and instead supported him with her arms.
Childe hooked the corners of his lips and narrowed his eyes comfortably. There are also benefits of being improper, and her soft fragrance and warm jade are not something that others can enjoy.
The warm breeze is intoxicating, the summer scenery is picturesque, and the two of them watch the flowers and willows all the way, and come together.
Childe's house is in a remote and quiet courtyard. The yard was small, but the room was large, and Yinxia patrolled the house with interest.
The large room is scattered with all kinds of objects, and it can be seen that the owner has a wide range of interests and has learned a lot. On the east side of the wall stood huge bookshelves with straight ceilings, neatly filled with books. Yinxia glanced at it, many books she had never heard of. Sticking out her tongue, she turned away. He collected a lot of musical instruments, such as ruan, qin, zheng, pipa, gonghou, drums, etc., and there were more than a dozen flutes alone.
Yinxia played the lute, slapped the drum a few more times, turned her head and asked, "Have you been to the Western Regions?" Several of these instruments she was very familiar with, and they should have been passed down from the Western Regions.
"I've only been to Dangxiang, Tuyuhun and Yiwu, and I haven't walked further west. As soon as Childe entered the house, he went straight to the bed, and when he lay down on his stomach, he refused to get up again.
Yinxia said: "Yiwu is not far from Gaochang, just east of Gaochang. You love musical instruments so much, my Yidu moat will definitely go. ”
"Well, don't forget that you promised me a treat. Childe looked at her lazily at night.
"No problem. Yinxia replied cheerfully.
She continued to look around the house, and then she found something strange: sachets, embroidered handkerchiefs, hairpins...... There is even a peach-colored belly pocket with extremely delicate embroidery of mandarin ducks playing in the water!
Childe saw her watching intently with that belly pocket, and couldn't help but say, "That's Sister Ling's embroidery, I borrowed it to fill the façade." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought to himself: why did he explain it to her?
Yinxia nodded and put her belly pocket back in its place. If someone comes to this house, it will be difficult not to misunderstand him. These daughters' things seem to be scattered all over the house inadvertently, and he really performs the word "promiscuity" very well.
She stared at him and asked, "Why do you go to such great lengths to pretend to be a drunken loser?" No matter how hard he tries to act, she has to demolish him!
Childe smiled self-deprecatingly, "To say that I am a loser is too much to exalt me." The Wen family has never let me meddle in the affairs of the family, and I can't defeat if I want to. ”
It wasn't the answer she was looking for. Before Yinxia could ask again, there was a knock on the door, and it was Zhuang Ding who came to deliver the food.
After taking the lunch box, Yinxia decided to torture her after the meal, she was really hungry.
The two of them devoured the meal.
After a full meal, Yinxia repeated the old words, "Give me an honest explanation, don't want to pretend to be confused." Who are you pretending to be looking at?" "Pretending to be in front of people, pretending to be behind people, there is definitely a conspiracy for him to do this!"
"It doesn't matter who I pretend to show it to. The important thing is that you should do what you need to do best. "After Childe ate that night, he was obviously much more energetic. He reclined on the bed, and out of nowhere he found a piece of rough black jade and threw it to Yinxia, "Remember the jewelry store where we exchanged silver? Then you give this thing to the shopkeeper and ask him to return the jade pendant with the character 'Tang' that he sold last time. That should be Tang Wan'er's token of the Tang Gate. You take it and give it back to her, I don't want to owe her a favor. ”
Yinxia took it and took a closer look, only to realize that it was not black jade, but a delicately made black pottery shard.
She couldn't help but hesitate, "Didn't you say that the jade pendant is very valuable?
One side of the pottery piece is engraved with the word "night" very freely, and the other side is painted with a tiger hidden in the mountains and forests, and the ink pottery is drawn with white lines, which is quite expressive. But no matter how good it is, it's just a piece of pottery, and it's impossible to use it to exchange it for Tangmen jade pendant.
"Definitely. Childe's night eyes flickered slightly, "Because I participated in the investment of that jewelry store." ”
Yinxia looked up suddenly, "How many other things do you have to do with me?"
"Not too much. Childe laughed dryly, slipped down on the bed, and turned over and pretended to sleep.
Yinxia stared at his back, and after a moment, turned to leave the house. The matter of tribute and silver cannot be delayed, and Tang Wan'er's jade pendant should be returned to her.
Hearing her out of the house, the son lay quietly on his side at night, not moving.
When did you fall in love with her?
overheard her conversation with Xiao Yin in the grass, although she had the intention to help her, but it was more just a joke. Let such a hot-tempered woman come to the Wen Mansion, something interesting will happen?...... She really lived up to her expectations, disdained Wen Si, who was praised by everyone, and was so bold that she shouted in public with Xu Zizhan, a famous teacher in Beijing. ...... I've never seen a woman so blunt as she is. So I suddenly had the idea of teaching her badly and changing her.
...... But today, who has changed whom?
In the silence, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as firm as stone.
He had been planning that thing for a long time, and it must not be interrupted by an accident.
A person must have that time to do something recklessly.
This matter has nothing to do with her, and she should not be implicated.
