Chapter 347: Ten Years Later (Eighteen)
"When we arrive in Hangzhou, will Sister Jian still be with us?" Zuo Shichun also smiled and said.
Here, Jian Xixian also smiled and said, "I don't know, it depends on whether Lu Gongzi keeps me." ”
"I should still be able to afford you here. Lu Peng also smiled and said, "So you can live here with me." ”
"That son, we really have to go to Hangzhou to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" Zuo Shichun also smiled and spoke, with a smile on his face.
Lu Peng's eyes lit up and then said, "Yes, let's just stay still, what kind of West Lake is this, let's go and see." ”
Jian Xixian also covered her mouth and smiled, and then said, "Lu Gongzi wants to come here, and he only knows a West Lake." ”
Lu Peng also smiled and said, "Yes, so I asked Miss Jian to show me the way." ”
At this moment, Ji Anpu in the Ji family was also chatting with Ji Changning, and Ji Anpu also wiped it with a handkerchief after eating the meal in front of him first, and said, "What do you think." ”
Ji Changning also smiled and said, "Father, hasn't it already been decided?
"Just because I'm right doesn't mean I'm right, and if I'm right, it has nothing to do with me as head of the family or as a father. Ji Anpu also said with a smile.
Ji Changning also smiled and said, "Father, it's really so interesting." All I can say is that my father made the right decision, or so I see it. ”
"Really?" Ji Anpu also smiled and said, "It seems that your generation really has no feelings for this Immeasurable Sect. ”
"But this fact, Father, you can't reverse it, a sect that has no way to shelter everyone, and also let the people who were once attached to it hide in Tibet, our generation does not have hatred, it is already very good, not to mention that Father still wants us to love it. Ji Changning also spread his hands and said.
"I should also be clear, after all, this time is too long, you have not received its favor, so naturally you will not take this thing to heart. Ji Anpu also sighed and continued, "Changning, your choice father will not interfere with you, but father will still carry the revival of the Infinite Sect on his back. ”
"Father, you're going to be tired like this. Ji Changning also said uneasily.
Ji Anpu also laughed, and then said: "Your father and I have been here for so many years, and you still care about this kind of thing? Ji Changning also thought about it and said, "The child understands, but the child hopes that his father will think about it for my Ji family, should they bear this matter?"
Just as Ji Anpu was also thinking, a voice came from outside: "Master, young master." Xiao Qingtan of the six doors caught his head and begged to see him. ”
"What is Qing Tan coming to me for this time?" Ji Changning also touched his chin and thought.
"Since he's here, go and see him. Ji Anpu also walked to the back as he spoke, and added a sentence at the end, "By the way, I'm resting, if you have anything to do, come back to me tomorrow." ”
Ji Changning also looked at the high sun outside, and was also stunned and said, "Yes, the child understands." ”
The little guy here is also respectfully waiting for Ji Changning to arrange, after all, although the old man said that he could be invited in, there are still some things where to go that have not been properly arranged, so he also stood there honestly and did not move. Ji Changning also smiled and said, "Invite this Xiao Qingtan here, by the way, let the maid serve two cups of tea." ”
"Yes. The little guy also said yes and ran out. This little guy's hands and feet are also very fast, and after a while, the maid's tea also arrived first, Ji Changning also pointed to the coffee table in front of her and asked her to put it down, as soon as the tea was put down here, this Xiao Qingtan also walked in.
Xiao Qingtan scolded as he walked: "Ji Changning! ”
"What's wrong with me? Ji Changning also walked up to Xiao Qingtan with a smile and said after welcoming him in.
Xiao Qingtan also glanced at him and then said, "You still pretend to be me, you tell me, what the hell is this layer of people outside." I didn't say a word when I was going to come in, but now I have to report it? Do you really think that these crooked melons and cracked dates outside can stop me?"
Ji Changning also waved his hand to let the little guy retreat, and then said: "Don't say such things, don't you have no points in your heart? I have been assassinated a few times recently? I want to be safe, no problem." ”
"I can accept this reason, but you tell me, who can these little guys in your mouth stop, can the assassin still swagger in through the gate of your Ji family?" Xiao Qingtan also looked at Ji Changning, and also looked at the fool, this look also made Ji Changning feel a fever on his face, but he still coughed and said, "Okay, skip this matter, what are you doing here to find me?"
"I'll take you for a walk. Xiao Qingtan also said with a smile.
Ji Changning also looked at Xiao Qingtan when he heard this, but saw that this Xiao Qingtan was also dressed in white, dressed like a scholar, where was there still half a point of heroism. "Do you want to explore?" Ji Changning also asked uncertainly.
"I'm just asking you to go and relax, you can really add drama to yourself. Xiao Qingtan also said with a smile.
Ji Changning also suddenly felt that he couldn't understand this Xiao Qingtan, and he also took a sip of tea, and tried to suppress this doubt in his heart. Xiao Qingtan also smiled again and said, "Okay, let's be honest with you, today is the last day of Hua Yuezhen's teahouse." I also helped you book the private seat of this teahouse in advance. ”
"Elegant seat?" Ji Changning also squinted his eyes and then said, "Xiao Qingtan, you bastard, you are taking my account again, aren't you!"
"Nonsense, where do I have the money to do this. At this time, a person also stopped steadily in the courtyard, Ji Changning also reacted quickly, and shot out with a finger, but this person in the courtyard also had a pair of locks in his hand, and this finger also left a mark on this lock. And the person in the courtyard also took the lock and looked at it and said, "The lock of the sea blue stone can be marked by you, yes." ”
Ji Changning also stood up abruptly and asked, "I don't know who Your Excellency is, what is the so-called matter of visiting my Ji family." ”
Xiao Qingtan also hurriedly stood up and said, "Changning, I'll explain this matter." It's all my fault. ”
"What's going on?" Ji Changning also turned his head to look at Xiao Qingtan and asked.
Xiao Qingtan also walked to Ji Changning's side and said: "This is the full moon catcher of the six doors, he just came with me, he just went to the teahouse on the side to drink tea, didn't I come in first." ”
"I see. Ji Changning also glanced at Xiao Qingtan meaningfully and said to the full moon, "Fang Cai is a little rude to the moon catcher, please don't mind the moon catcher." ”
"I made a mistake in the first place, and if I hadn't had the patience to turn it in, there wouldn't have been such a thing. The full moon also arched his hand to Ji Changning and said, "I apologized to Ji Gongzi for the full moon." ”
Ji Changning also said with a smile: "We don't know each other anymore." ”
Xiao Qingtan also looked at Ji Changning and said seriously: "Originally, I shouldn't have said it, but Changning, this month's head catcher is what we plan to ask him to temporarily give you a double insurance, and we are definitely not here to test your ability." That's why what I just said is true. ”
"I believe in you. Ji Changning also looked at Xiao Qingtan and said, "Since the moon catcher has also arrived, let's go to the teahouse." ”
The two of them didn't raise any objections, so the group also walked over there, and when they arrived at this teahouse, the clever Xiao Er also shook the towel and said: "Three masters, your seats have been sorted out, please come with me." ”
"You're clever. Ji Changning also smiled, and took the two of them to the elegant seat where he was used to staying, this second-floor elegant seat also deliberately moved this son for half a minute today, and added a chair, although the position of this chair is not very good, but the full moon is not to watch the play, and it doesn't matter. And the shopkeeper on the stage also briefly said a few words, and also invited Hua Yuezhen, this Hua Yuezhen is still covering her face with a light veil today, and her white clothes also reveal a bit of fairy spirit.
"What do you say she will sing today. Ji Changning also looked at Xiao Qingtan and asked.
"He's Bi". Xiao Qingtan also said directly.
"How do you know. Ji Changning also asked.
Xiao Qingtan also rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, I live with her." At this time, Hua Yuezhen also plucked the strings. The three of them also closed their mouths, only to hear Hua Yuezhen sing: "Rare and rare treasures are covered by earth, and they have unique insight and exquisite knowledge." The mediocre does not distinguish between the true and the false, and the faint gentleman reverses the blue and the red. The wind and rain are hard to destroy, just for the sake of sincerity. Sing a piece of Bian and Xianyupu of the Chu State, he was a serious crime, tortured, his heart is not remorseful, his will is not more, he is indomitable to find the truth, so that the beautiful jade can see the light. That Bian He's family lives in a thatched hut in Chushan, and he has been picking jade since he was a child. One day, I found that in the valley, there was a piece of soil with a very different quality, and I thought that this place must contain treasures, and we must not let the rare things in the world be buried in the soil for a long time. Determined to dig day and night with a pickaxe, regardless of the scorching heat and cold winter, the body is emaciated and the spirit is exhausted, and the straw sandals are broken and the pickaxe is smoothed. Suddenly, I saw a huge rock being shaken, and Yupu was overjoyed and surprised. That Bian He was holding Yupu in his hand, and finally my ten years of hard work were in vain. When it comes to this jade, it is a jade with a shell, and whether it is a real treasure must be peeled off and looked closely. Yupu, Yupu, you grew up in the land of Chu, I want to dedicate you to the king and carve it into a vessel, so that I can serve the country. ”
"It's a pity for a good man. Ji Changning also sighed.
"Why did Ji Gongzi say that?" asked Yue Man, who was also playing with the teacup in his hand.
Ji Changning also looked at the full moon unexpectedly and said, "Haven't you heard this story of the moon catcher?"
"I really haven't heard of it below. Yue Man also looked at Ji Changning and said.
"That month catcher will understand when he listens to it. Ji Changning also smiled at the full moon and said.
Here, Hua Yuezhen also continued to sing: "That Bian He was ecstatic to bring King Chu Li to see him, and knelt down in the vestibule with Yupu in his arms: "King Yu, the villain came to offer beautiful jade!" King Chu Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly called the jade craftsman to identify him, and the jade craftsman twisted his eyebrows when he saw Yupu. Just because he was full of food and didn't use his heart all day long, he developed self-righteousness and arbitrariness. I looked at the sludge and filthy soil, played the dull and dull sound without brittleness, touched the rough and rough hands of the thorns, and checked the clumsy and hard body. Hurriedly said: "This is a stubborn stone! How can that Meiyu be described like this?" King Chu Li was furious when he heard this: "The bold Bian He, how dare you tease the lonely family, come, cut off his left foot, and drive him out of the vestibule!" This year, King Chu Li died of illness and King Wu ascended the palace, and Bian He was still accused of bullying the king for the second time. The brutal warrior king passed the holy decree and cut off his right foot to torture. That Bian and his feet were amputated and crippled for life, lying alone in the wilderness, sleeping with Yupu when he was sleepy, and complaining to Yupu when he woke up. On this day, I suddenly heard that King Wu had died and King Wen succeeded to the throne, and Bian He was lying in Chu Mountain. Crying for a while, the green bamboo on the mountain turns yellow leaves; crying for two times, the birds enter the nest without making a sound; crying for three times, the black clouds roll and the sky is dark; crying for four bursts, the river is surging and the wind is blowing. I only cried until I was unconscious and woke up (ah), I only cried until my eyes collapsed and my eyes were red, I only cried until my breath was dying and my voice was hoarse, and I only cried until my eyes dried up and blood gushed out. The cry reached the palace, and King Chu Wen sent a minister to ask for details: "Why is the old man so grieved? Isn't his feet amputated and retired?" Bian He raised his head and said: "Personal disability is insignificant! I feel that the upright people have been framed, I feel that the loyal and wise men have been wronged, I feel that the mediocre people have misled the country and the king is short-sighted, and I feel that the stone and jade are difficult to understand without distinguishing the truth!" King Wen summoned the jade craftsman: "Quickly prepare the chisel and peel off the jade, I want to see the difference!" When Chang Chang saw the coarse sand and stone pieces falling one after another, the beautiful jade was suddenly revealed, crystal clear and flawless white as snow, just like the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, exquisitely clear and luster, smooth and smooth, rare and valuable in the world. King Wen of Chu named Hebi and collected it as a national treasure and hid it in the inner palace. That Bian and Sanxian Yupu passed on the good story, strong and unyielding, tenacious, and left a good name for thousands of years. ”
"What a righteous person. The full moon also spoke.
"Don't you think this Chu King's mistake is too big?" Ji Changning also asked with a smile.
"But if it weren't for the mistakes of these two Chu kings, how could we see the loyalty and tenacity of this Bian He?" Yue Man also looked at Ji Changning and smiled.
