Chapter 30 Gossip

On Nancang Mountain, the sunlight is filtered by the layers of leaves, leaking out a faint and gently swaying halo.

Mo Yefan stood under the eaves, looking at the non-dazzling sunlight, and took a deep breath. Qin Luo's return made him not worry in his heart, and the result was satisfactory.

"Have you heard? The young master took two girls up to Nancang Mountain a few days ago. “

"I heard that, what's wrong?"

The dialogue between the two female disciples of Nancang broke the quiet time of Mo Yefan. It is common for disciples to gossip, although he is the head of Nancang, but the disciple's mouth can't be controlled, and he doesn't listen to gossip. He put his hands behind his back and prepared to leave.

"Just that woman in white, the young master seems to attach great importance to it. “

A woman in white?

Mo Yefan stopped. Are they talking about Qin Luo?

"Don't say it, that woman is Qin Yan's daughter, and during the Chunye banquet, the whole audience suffered a catastrophe, and she stepped forward to save the young master and everyone present. “

"Oh! it turned out to be her, is that the young master's benefactor?"

"Qin Yan's daughter, ten years ago, Qin Yan was the leader of Canglong, and his daughter should be... Nancang disciple?"

"Ah, Nancang disciple, how can this be counted, she definitely doesn't know Nancang swordsmanship, she was just a child when she disappeared. “

"That's what I said, if it's a disciple of Nancang, do we want to call her senior sister or junior sister, she looks much younger than me, I don't want to call her senior sister. “

"Is that a friend of the young master? “

"Even if it's a friend of the young master, you can't live in Nancang permanently, does this woman want to stay in the young master's Nanque Lu and not leave? That's really outrageous. “

"Makes sense. “

Mo Yefan's expression became anxious, and he pursed his lips and turned to leave. Lin Fen was tidying up the desk, and when he noticed the movement, he looked up, "Ye Fan, didn't you just go out?"

Mo Yefan walked to the table without saying a word, picked up a brush and dipped it in some ink, and wrote on the paper.

Lin Fen looked forward, her expression full of surprise, "You want to accept Luo'er as a righteous daughter?"

"Yes. Mo Yefan carefully wrote the notice, "Accept Qin Luo as a righteous daughter, then she is the leader of the Nancang group." As long as I am in Nancang for a day, there will be her in Nancang. “

Lin Fen frowned and reached out to snatch the brush from his hand.

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Wait a minute, I know that every disciple in Nancang has been talking about Luo'er recently, why can't you accept her as a righteous daughter?"

"We all watched Qin Luo be born, and we love her like our own daughter, what's wrong with accepting her as a righteous daughter?"

"Oh, you don't understand this. Lin Fen glanced at him, "Don't you see that Chen'er is very interested in Luo'er?"

"It's right to be attentive, she is my Nancang loyalty, how can I not be careful, the Chunye banquet is also thanks to Qin Luo to save the day, not only do we have to respect her, but all the forces and sects in the world respect her, I am not too much. “

"I'm not talking about that! it's a matter of men and women. “

"Men and women?"

"Chen'er is not young, I want to propose marriage to him, but he is always cold and indifferent to the girl's family, and he has never taken care of it, and I once suspected that he didn't like women..."

"What?"

"But Luo'er came back and it was different, it was the first time I saw Chen'er treat a woman so gently, maybe he liked Luo'er since he was a child. “

"They were only teenagers at the time, how could they have such emotions?"

"Luo'er is only thirteen years old, but Chen'er is also fifteen, and she will reach the age of marriage in two years. Who knew that there was a battle of Fuhe, Chen'er went to the battlefield with you at the age of fifteen, and after coming back, he devoted himself to studying swordsmanship, and then became the leader of the Vermilion Bird, and the marriage was delayed until today. “

"So what the hell are you going to say?"

Lin Fen smiled inadvertently, "Luo'er may be able to be my two daughters-in-law." “

"Huh?" Mo Yefan knew that she liked to pull the red line and be a matchmaker, but what she said just now surprised him, "They are brothers and sisters." “

"What! What brother and sister! Don't recognize yourself! Be careful that Brother Qin Yan asks his dream to clean you up. “

"Hey, whatever you want, then what excuse do you have to let Qin Luo stay in Nancang? She is already my Nancang disciple, she has merit, and she actually provokes criticism, I really can't say it!" Mo Yefan clenched the corner of the paper, indignant.

"This... Let's ask Chen'er, he has a lot of ideas. Lin Fen didn't have a good idea, so she returned the brush to him.

In the side room of Nanquelu, Qin Luo rested for a while on the collapse, and Sun Yingqian pushed the door and walked forward quickly.

"Qin Luo, hurry up!" Sun Yingqian kept shaking her body.

Qin Luo opened his eyes in a daze, "Yingqian, what are you doing?"

"Come with me for a walk. “

Qin Luo turned his back, "Recently, I helped Mo Chen read the documents, and I haven't closed my eyes for a few days, so you just let me sleep for a while." “

"Don't, it's so boring to sleep, you get up and accompany me. I'm alone, and I don't know the place well..."Sun Yingqian pleaded, insisting that she see her pitiful appearance.

Qin Luo was tossed by her in every possible way, and reluctantly got up and rubbed his forehead, "Then let's go, but I'm going to come back before lunch." “

"Okay, of course, I won't miss lunchtime. “

The two left the house and walked to a secluded forest path. At the end of the path, the steep slope is filled with the thick scent of flowers, and you can hear the sound of a relaxing stream while walking slowly.

Sun Yingqian's brows tightened, as if she was uncomfortable, and turned her head and said, "Why did you come with you?"

"Me?" Situ Hao pointed to himself, "Qin Luo said that she doesn't know much either, so let me take you around." “

This is true, Qin Luo nodded and said, "After all, I haven't been here for ten years, so I will inevitably forget something, so I will ask Situ to help lead the way." “

"I just hope he doesn't spoil the scenery. Sun Yingqian pouted, dissatisfied.

"You wouldn't be able to see the scenery without me. Situ Hao took them on the bluestone path, "There is a pavilion not far away, just next to the stream, and there are a few peach trees next to it, which bloom with peach blossoms all year round, which is extremely elegant and quiet." I'll show you there. “

They walked slowly out of the path, and there was a little girl's laughter in the sound of the stream.

"Senior Sister Zou's current Nancang swordsmanship is extraordinary, and she is already one of the best disciples in my Nancang. “

"Yes, I guess my swordsmanship skills are on par with the leaders. “

Zou Wanru smiled faintly and played with the peach blossom branch in her hand, "Don't talk about it, where can I compare with Mo Shao." “

"I only said that it was the leader, and I didn't just say the leader of the Vermilion Bird, why did Senior Sister Zou only mention the young master, is the senior sister..."

"You!" Zou Wanru knocked on the disciple's head, "When I practiced the sword, I didn't have this reaction." “

"But speaking of the young master, do you know that the two girls that the young master brought a few days ago are unprecedented. “

"Yes, it is said that one is the daughter of a Shang eunuch, and the other is the daughter of Qin Yan. “

"Is that woman in white the daughter of Qin Yan? is that the woman who came to the rescue at the Chunye banquet?"

"Yes, Senior Sister Zou was there at the time, if you don't believe it, you can ask. “

Zou Wanru looked down at the branch and said casually, "Yes, indeed." “

"Then she came to Nancang to discuss the reward?"

"I don't know why, anyway, it was brought by the young master, I heard that this woman in white accompanied the young master day and night and stayed in the study. “

"Huh?" the female disciple looked surprised.

Because the woman was the young master's life-saving benefactor, the young master had to let her do it, and the woman was said to be very difficult, and the young master could hardly get out. “

Sun Yingqian was on the side of the path, her expression was extremely ugly, and she lowered her voice, "What?

Situ Hao signaled her not to get excited, but he knew it in his heart. The disciple said that Qin Luo was pestering Mo Shao, but on the contrary, Mo Shao was the most pestering.

"If this is spread out, won't it damage the prestige of the young master. “

"Well, alone in the same room with the woman, the woman was indecent, and the young master was implicated. “

Zou Wanru also agreed with this matter in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and pretended to say, "Don't say it, it's not good if this girl hears it, people still have to be chaste." “

"Senior Sister Zou, you are really kind, this woman is like this, what chastity is there to talk about, relying on a bit of posture, seducing the young master there, and now the disciples outside say that the young master is confused by beauty. “

Situ Hao felt that this was quite reasonable, because Mo Shao was really fascinated by Qin Luo, but he felt that Mo Shao was not only fascinated by Qin Luo's appearance, he seemed to be fascinated by Qin Luo everywhere, and he couldn't extricate himself. Thinking of the appearance of pretending to be weak and dragging Qin Luo on the cold mountain, it was really ridiculous and hateful.

When Sun Yingqian heard this slander, she was so angry that she quickly strode forward and scolded angrily, "You three women are indecent, and you are actually talking about men here!

"What do you say! Who knows no shame!"

Sun Yingqian saw the disciple yelling at her, her heart was happy, and she wanted to have a good fight with this person, "It's you, you have stood up shamelessly, admit it so quickly." “

"You!"

Sun Yingqian saw that she was annoyed and angry and wanted to continue, but was immediately interrupted by herself, "I can see too many people like you. Didn't he feel that Mo Shao couldn't look down on himself, so he criticized the girl next to him. You are still embarrassed to say!Spring Ye banquet, if it weren't for my family's Qin Luo stepping forward to save you from danger, you would still be able to enjoy the flowers and chat here?"

Zou Wanru saw that she was aggressive, and said dissatisfiedly, "You woman!

"Oh, I'm still talking nonsense, so aren't you even more confused. Sun Yingqian smiled sarcastically.

Situ Hao was really funny when he saw her bickering, but how could he let a girl's family come forward, after all, there were three people on the other side. He took a deep breath and walked forward.

When the three of them saw him, they immediately pretended to be well-behaved and respectfully said, "It's Situ Gongzi." “

"Yes. Situ Hao nodded, "I have heard all your words today, aren't you afraid that I will talk to Mo less?"

The three of them looked at each other, thinking about the consequences, but they didn't dare to speak.

Sun Yingqian looked at him, looked at the path, and showed doubts, "Where's Qin Luo?

Layers of stone steps lead to the south of the mountain Bird House, the bamboo forest on both sides is as green as a piece of flawless jade, the breeze blows, lifting the corners of the white shirt.

Qin Luo walked forward, recalling the remarks of Nancang's disciples, although they were untrue, they also had an impact on Mo Chen, just helping to deal with a few things, but they aroused criticism and were very helpless.

She looked up at the plaque at Nanquelu, and began to wonder whether her decision was right or wrong, whether she would go or stay...

Pushing open the door, there was silence in the house, Qin Luo looked at the study in the distance, took a deep breath, and turned to his residence.

"Luo'er, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time. “

This is... Mo Chen's voice.

Qin Luo turned his head to look for the source of the sound, who knew that Mo Chen was already behind him, he smiled, his eyes were gentle like water. Qin Luo looked at him squarely, his eyes were a little overwhelmed.

"It's lunchtime, so come with me. Mo Chen approached her, and his hand inadvertently touched her arm, so he took advantage of the situation.

Qin Luo touched his hand, and then remembered those gossips, his heart twisted, and he tore him away, without saying a word.

Mo Chen was surprised to see her react like this, and said softly, "What's wrong Luo'er?"

"Mo Chen, recently..."

Why is my heart so sore...

"Let's keep our distance. “

What am I talking about?

"Well, why, Luo'er, what's wrong with you?" Mo Chen sensed that something was not quite right, and wanted to ask clearly.

"Qin Luo!" Sun Yingqian rushed over, "Why are you leaving! I haven't scolded them enough?"

Situ Hao thought that the matter was over, why did she still mention it, so she quickly opened the topic, "Oh, it's lunchtime, let's go to dinner, let's take a walk." As he spoke, he pushed Sun Yingqian.

"I'm a little tired, so go first. Qin Luo didn't wait for them to answer, and strode back into the house.

Mo Chen listened to Sun Yingqian's words, realized that something was wrong, stared at the two of them, and said solemnly, "What happened?"

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

There is the aroma of food wafting in the house, there are three vegetarian and one meat on the round table, the steamed fish meat is fatty and tender, the sauce is fragrant, and the vegetarian dishes are bright in color, refreshing and not greasy.

"Mo Shao, you have to treat your Nancang disciple well, gossiping all day long, which makes people very troubled. Sun Yingqian moved her chopsticks to eat first.

"Okay, you can eat quickly!" Situ Hao glanced at Mo Chen, although his face was expressionless, he could feel a burst of anger, now eating with peace of mind is the right way!

Mo Chen held the chopsticks, his left hand clenched into a fist to support his chin, and he didn't seem to have much appetite. He was thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds, and after pondering, he said, "Situ Hao, Miss Yingqian, I want to ask you for a favor." “

"Help?" the two of them stared at Mo Chen with wide eyes.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone directly in the creek in Nanquelu, shining with a faint translucent light, and the light was refracted to the pavilion next to the stream, Qin Luo was drinking tea and reading a medical book quietly.

"Qin Luo!" Sun Yingqian called out to her, still holding two pieces of rice paper in her hand, and hurriedly ran over, "What are you looking at?"

"Medical books, do you want to read them?"

"No, it's not like I haven't seen it. I don't know what I'm talking about on this first page..."

Sun Yingqian has also gone to private school since she was a child, and she has read poetry and books, and it must be difficult for her to recognize words, but this medical book, she can know every word, but she doesn't understand the connection of words at all.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Qin Luo noticed the rice paper, and there were some small characters on it.

"Well, it's a notice. Sun Yingqian took one out of it and explained, "This is a notice for Nancang to recruit disciples once every three years, and another one is a notice about running for the leader of Canglong. “

"Yes. Qin Luo simply agreed, and continued to read.

She already knew about these two things, and she had also advised them, so she was not surprised. Since that day, he said that he wanted to keep his distance from Mo Chen, and he has never entered the study again. Mo Chen wanted to come forward to talk to herself several times, but she deliberately avoided it. even planned to leave Nancang in two days, and it was destined to wander the rivers and lakes for the rest of his life.
