Chapter 8: Yun Xuan's doubts
Yun Xuan left the martial arts arena and continued to enjoy the scenery while walking.
When he walked gracefully to the small stone road next to a teahouse, he suddenly heard a maid's voice from the second floor of the teahouse: "Madam, the master has sent a message: let the kitchen prepare tonight's dinner for Aunt Sixth and Young Master Yunxuan." There is also the old master who decided to let Young Master Yunxuan stay and follow the little master into Yu Xuanzong. In addition, the sixth aunt also sent a thousand-year-old topaz bead to Mrs., telling Mrs. that you have time to get it. ”
When Yun Xuan heard the words "Millennium Topaz Pearl", he quickly stopped and listened intently.
There was silence in the pavilion, and there was no sound for a while, and Yun Xuan was anxious for a while.
"Millennial Huang Yuzhu, heh, the sixth sister is really willing to be his son. The voice of a woman was heard in the chamber. "Back then, the dead ghost refused to give it to me, no matter how much I asked for it, but gave it to the slut. Why? Just because she's the youngest daughter?"
"Madame, I ...... I don't know. Yahuan's voice trembled a little.
"This thousand-year-old topaz pearl should have been mine, but she was good, and she used it for more than ten years, and used it to give her son a promising future. The woman continued.
"Then, do you still have to do the dinner thing?" Yahuan asked in a trembling voice.
"Do it, why don't you do it, just prepare it for them according to the young master's specifications, lest others chew the root of their tongues and say that I neglect my relatives. ”
"Then Cui'er will notify me now. The sound of hurried giggling walks sounded.
Yun Xuan hurriedly ran away and hid behind a rockery.
"That was my aunt's voice just now. He actually called my mother a slut. Although he had seen his aunt quite kind before, he couldn't help but be angry when he remembered this sentence.
"And the mother's forehead ornament is a thousand-year-old topaz bead. And about my future?" Yun Xuan wondered.
Seeing that Yahuan walked away, Yun Xuan hurriedly walked to the hall where the guests were entertained.
When he walked to the hall, he didn't see his mother and uncle inside, and asked the little guy passing by next to him, only to know that his mother had gone to the west wing. ”
Yun Xuan hurriedly walked to the west wing, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard of the west wing, as soon as he turned the corner, a sound of "ouch-" came, and he hit someone. He fixed his eyes and saw that the person who was hit was wearing a white brocade robe, holding an origami fan, wearing a crown of dark silver hair, and his face was as pale as jade.
"Eh, cousin Yunxuan, I just came to the wing room to look for you, but I didn't expect you to be here. Let's go, I'll take you to a fun place. ”
It was Yun Xuan's cousin Li Yanhuan, who pulled Yun Xuan's arm and walked out.
"Wait a minute, Yan Huan. I have something to talk to my mother. ”
"What should we talk about now, can't we talk about it later?" asked Li Yanhuan.
"It's just a little thing. But I got up on the fourth watch today, and walked from my home to your house in Ping'an Village, and I haven't had a good rest until now. Oops, I'm exhausted. Yun Xuan twisted his waist. "I think I'll need to take a break in a while. Otherwise, when I'm rested, I'll go find you. Yun Xuan was still a little angry now, but he didn't show it, and besides, it wasn't his cousin who made him angry.
"Alright then, remember to come to me when you're rested. ”
"Well, I'm leaving. Yun Xuan said.
He went on to find his mother's dwelling, and went into the room, and had come in a hurry, but he did not know how to speak.
On the contrary, Yun Xuan's mother saw her son's hesitant expression and asked, "Does Xuan'er have something to say?"
Yun Xuan heard his mother's words and decided to talk about it: "Mother, I heard in the backyard that you gave the thousand-year-old Huang Yuzhu to your aunt for the sake of the child's future. ”
Xuan's mother was silent for a while, originally she thought that she could hide from her child for a while, but Yun Xuan knew it in a blink of an eye, but soon smiled lightly: "There is such a thing." ”
"Mother. Yun Xuan said: "The jade bead is something you bring with you all year round, and it is good for your body." I don't want you to trade that for that future. The future of the child will be determined by his own efforts. Yun Xuan's face showed a stubborn look.
Yun Xuan's mother heard Yun Xuan's words, and she burst into laughter, and she said earnestly, "Yun Xuan, you listen to me tell you in detail. What my mother gave you in exchange for was the opportunity to enter the monk's sect. Since Gaozong, although we have always emphasized governing the country with literature and defending the country with force, there has been no war for many years, and now, most of the people with status are still the literati, and the warriors can make contributions to a minority.
"In addition, above the Tang Kingdom's civil and military affairs, there is another higher power hidden, that is, Yu Xuanzong. The power they cultivate is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and it is said that when they cultivate to a high depth, they can pull out mountains and reclaim the sea, and destroy the heavens and the earth. ”
"You don't like to read, my mother sees it in her heart. Using jade beads in exchange for you to follow Yan Huan into Yuxuanzong as an entourage can lay a good foundation for your future. Even if it is an entourage, after entering, seize the opportunity, gain the favor of those great monks, and redouble their efforts to improve their cultivation, the future will be bright and glorious. No matter how bad it is, cultivate some relationships for you, and you will have a place to rely on in the future, so that you can settle down. ”
"Since my mother said that there are so many benefits to going to Yuxuanzong, I can go to the apprenticeship myself. I still don't need to change it with your thousand-year-old topaz beads. Yun Xuan still said stubbornly.
"Nonsense! Yun Xuan, do you know that in order to arrange for a junior to enter the Yuxuan Sect, the family needs to spend 50,000 taels of gold to get a quota, and it also costs 20,000 taels of gold to send in an entourage. Those who want to enter by their own efforts are screened in each prefecture, and only ten can be selected. Xuan's mother was a little angry, but Yun Xuan didn't know about this, so she still had to explain patiently.
"I still don't want my mother to exchange jade beads, maybe I'll go to participate in the screening and go in. The thousand-year-old topaz bead is your cherished thing, why do you want to give it to your aunt!" Yun Xuan still couldn't let go, he originally wanted to say what his aunt insulted his mother, but he still didn't say it after thinking about it. And although he often heard in the village that so-and-so had gone to be a slave, he was still a little resistant to becoming an entourage.
Yun Xuan's mother was helpless when she heard this, but she still pressed her mood and continued to persuade: "There is another reason why my mother did this. When I was a child, my mother was only the daughter of a concubine in this family, and some people often found opportunities to bully me and your own grandmother. At that time, your uncle used to help me and make life easier for your grandmother and me. Your aunt has always been in poor health, and it took a few years to recuperate before giving birth to Yan Huan and Miaomiao, and now it is not all good. My mother is married, but there is nothing to repay your uncle, and this jade bead can just relieve the sorrow in your uncle's heart. In the future, you and Yan Huan and Miaomiao will get along well, just like your mother and your uncle. You know what?"
"Hmm. Yun Xuan couldn't refute what his mother said.
After Xuan's mother saw Yun Xuan's agreement, she said, "You stay with your uncle for the past few days, and go home to meet your father and sister before going to Yuxuanzong." I'll go back to Ping'an Village tomorrow morning. ”
Yun Xuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Will the vine spirit on the road still be there, or will it not be a few days?"
"I have agreed with your uncle, and he will send two escorts to take me back. And I'm not worried that your father and sister are at home. I don't know Yunxi, did you cry today?"
After another conversation, Yun Xuan walked out, appeared in his room for a while, and ran out to lie on the stone fence outside. He couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, and thought about a lot of things, the Tiger Saint senior on the top of the mountain, Xiaobai who concluded the soul contract, the purple-clothed girl who flew in the sky, the green vine, and what his mother said......
"Huh..... Father-in-law Sun, will you make me flying?"
"Why don't you turn me into that big tiger?"
He shouted at the sun with vent, causing several heads to poke out of the isolated chamber.
"Bah, why is there a madman today!"
"What are you shouting, disturbing my sleep in the daytime. "The bearded man.
"Wow, sleep in broad daylight, you man will really enjoy it, I want to try it too, or let's do it together." "Another big man.
"Uh......" the old woman vomited.
