Night, Shangguan Mansion.

Shangguan Mansion is very large, so big that no matter when and where, there are knights from the rivers and lakes who come here, they can have a place to stay. The Shangguan Mansion has always been brightly lit all night, and there is also a strict hierarchy among the subordinates, divided into upper, middle and lower classes.

The inferior people wash and cook for the guests and the masters, and most of them are good women of the people.

The middle-level people are mainly responsible for taking care of the family and nursing homes, and they are the backbone of the house. Most of these people are men, who have grown up in the mansion since childhood, practice martial arts, and are absolutely loyal to ensure the safety of the mansion.

The superior and inferior people are those who serve the master's daily life and follow the master to go out. Shangguan Mansion has a total of five rooms, and Shangguan Jinfeng is only a big house, although he is the patriarch, he also has to accommodate other house heads. Shangguan has always had many women, which have gone through several generations, and now the younger generation, only the third and fifth rooms have sons, and the others are also daughters. There have always been few descendants in the house, but they have all been continued, because there are too many women, the family is powerful, and it has always been mainly to recruit sons-in-law. Therefore, the master, whether male or female, carries all of them as a ring. These maids are like those who take care of the home, they have grown up in the house since childhood, the only difference is that they will be sent to each sect in the rivers and lakes to learn one or two stunts, and then assign each room after they come back, each tends to call.

As for the Shangguan Mansion's self-contained secret books that have been integrated with hundreds of schools of thought for many years, they cannot be touched by non-clan relatives and patriarchs. There is also a Tibetan Sword Pavilion in the house, which is now in the hands of Shangguan Yunfei, the eldest son of the third room. There are many famous teachers in the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, and they can be used as favors when the various sects accept apprentices. Everything in the world cannot be covered by gold and silver, and the Shangguan clan in Lingnan is based on money and rivers and lakes, and has its own faction, which is both respectable and awe-inspiring.

After the banquet, Yang Feng and An Ziyu went to rest.

Shangguan Jinfeng reversed his dignified posture just now, and sat on the eaves of his house with Boss Lin to drink. The two haven't seen each other for many years, but when they see each other today, there are many sighs.

Shangguan Jinfeng was in a very good mood, as if he had returned to his youth: "I didn't expect you to dress as a man, but you look a little bit." ”

"It's good that you reacted quickly. Boss Lin looked at the starry sky: "It's been ten years, and it's been so fast." ”

It turns out that the two have been old friends for many years and have known each other for a long time.

Shangguan Jinfeng asked, "Xueyi, where have you been in the past ten years?"

"Me. Hearing Shangguan Jinfeng call this long-lost name, Boss Lin's eyes instantly burst into tears: "I have been to many places, traveled south and north, and acted chivalrous everywhere. ”

"Why are you crying?" Shangguan Jinfeng entered Lin Xueyi so sadly, so he joked to make her happy: "Our Xueyi has now become a generation of heroines, presumably the wicked people on the rivers and lakes have been extinct." ”

Lin Xueyi didn't answer, but took a sip of wine and asked, "How are you?"

Shangguan Jinfeng paused and said, "I'm used to it." Who made me born in the Shangguan family. ”

Lin Xueyi recalled: "Back then, when it came to being at ease or I was at ease, you were much worse than me. ”

"Not really. Shangguan Jinfeng was also helpless: "The head of the clan is not so easy to be." ”

Lin Xueyi comforted: "But fortunately, you can find your own Ruyi Langjun, unlike me, who is destined to be lonely for a lifetime." ”

Shangguan Jinfeng thought of Su Yongjin, and was a little warm-hearted: "What about Ruyi Langjun, he only comes back once a year, and Xiaoling almost doesn't recognize him." ”

In Lin Xueyi's memory, Xiaoling was still a child who could just walk and talk: "Xiaoling is estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old." ”

"Fifteen, I have been pestering you to learn swordsmanship when I was a child. ”

Lin Xueyi said with a smile: "That girl is clever and sensible, and Lei Zhenmen hurts up and down." Why don't you see her today?"

Shangguan Jinfeng said: "His father misses him very much, and he asked her to go to Kyoto with her father a few years ago." ”

Memories keep coming, and Lin Xueyi seems to have returned to her youth: "I miss that time, you and I are in our prime, talking and laughing." ”

Shangguan Jinfeng continued: "Now you and I are not old, but we both have gray hair, but we can sigh that life is bitter, not sweet melons and fruits." ”

Lin Xueyi said: "I have traveled all over the world in the past ten years, and I have seen life and death, and I can be regarded as looking down on life, so I got this white hair. ”

Shangguan Jinfeng looked at Lin Xueyi carefully and said: "You are afraid that you are trapped by love, in this world, only the word love can make us Lin Daxia so confused." ”

"It's just unrequited love. Lin Xueyi said lightly: "If you don't say that there will be a result, I'm afraid that God will be gracious." ”

"Also, he has been missing for so long, and most of them have died for life. "Shangguan Jinfeng and Lin Xueyi are both heroes among women, and they have many years of sisterhood, so they don't have the slightest hint of false comfort when they speak.

Lin Xueyi said firmly: "I would rather believe that he is still alive, just because something is unspeakable, he is invincible in the world, and no one can threaten his life." ”

Shangguan Jinfeng smiled heartily and said, "Yes, who said it wasn't." ”

In the early years of Taiping, Pingshan Zhenren returned from traveling all over the world to Lei Zhenmen, and also brought back a female disciple who was closed, she was Lin Xueyi in her youth.

At that time, due to the geographical location, Lei Zhenmen was in the south of the Daluo River, and the Shangguan Mansion was in the north of the Daluo River, so the two often interacted. Shangguan Jinfeng, who was still the eldest lady of Shangguan Mansion at that time, often went to Lei Zhenmen to study martial arts with Lin Xueyi, and the two also developed a deep friendship. Shangguan Jinfeng and Su Yongjin were able to tie the knot, thanks to Lin Xueyi's instigation of her senior brother He Zhennan to persuade the patriarch of the Shangguan clan at that time to admit this son-in-law.

Therefore, Lei Zhenmen and Shangguan Mansion still have close contacts, and although Lin Xueyi and Shangguan Jinfeng have not seen each other for many years, they are still Jinlan sisters with pure feelings.

"That's right. Lin Xueyi suddenly thought of something: "Feng'er, don't tell my senior brother about what you have seen me." ”

"Why is this?" Shangguan Jinfeng was very puzzled: "You repeatedly emphasized in your letter, and reminded me again today, don't you really want to see your senior brother?"

Lin Xueyi shook her head, Shangguan Jinfeng already knew it: "He Zhennan treats you well, but it's a pity that he has feelings for you that surpass that of a senior brother and sister, and you already have a heart." You once left a book for him saying that you want to learn from your master to fight the sword world, so that he will break his thoughts about you. I'm not right. ”

Lin Xueyi looked at Shangguan Jinfeng and said with a smile: "The world says that you are eight-faced, but I say that you are smart. How can there be so many children in the world, and people in the rivers and lakes should not be. My senior brother has the status of the rivers and lakes that he wants to pursue with his life's energy, and I have an obsession and wander the world. It can be said that our generation of Lei Zhenmen has already lived up to Master's expectations of us. ”

Shangguan Jinfeng realized: "If everyone in the world can be as pessimistic as Pingshan Zhenren, it would be great." ”
