Chapter 258: Homecoming
The second day of December. 'Akiike Mountain'.
Liang Xie came out of Shao Mingqian's room and went to see Yifeng and them, since he decided to go to the capital with his senior brother, he could increase his strength and have a little more chance of surviving, so he immediately rehearsed and arranged with everyone and practiced against each other.
The original 'Tan Gate' everyone has been practicing since they called the 'Yang Dao League', each of them has made a lot of progress, the cooperation of the 'Shuangjie and Eight Heroes' is more tacit, Yu Qibai's skills are getting deeper and deeper, and the eagle's 'Eagle Claw Hand' is practicing faster and faster, Yifeng and Tan Xingde have been to the 'Wu Pavilion' for a few days, although their skills have not made great progress, there have been some indescribable changes in the moves, and the elder of the sect is even more closed and cannot study martial arts, only Tang Xian's martial arts are originally high, and Liang Xie really can't see whether he has made progress during this time.
In the afternoon, Liang Xie was called by Shao Mingqian and informed him that there was news from the capital that the 'Yang Dao Alliance' might leave at any time, and asked Liang Xie to make arrangements in advance.
Liang Xie decided not to tell the others for the time being, and waited until half an hour before departure, so that he would have time to clean up, this is the rule before the major event of the 'Yang Dao Alliance', and do not allow non-essential people to participate in the plan to avoid news leakage, so that even if there is a mole in the team, it will be too late to report the news, as for him who already knows about it, Shao Mingqian and they don't need to hide it, and it is convenient for him to settle his wife who is still sick by telling him in advance.
Liang Xie knew what his senior brother meant, and he was also quite grateful, this life and death were unpredictable, he really needed time to talk to his wife and talk about everything, in case he really couldn't come back, he wouldn't leave regrets.
Liang Xie returned to the house It was almost dusk, there was no lamp in the house, Ren Jiaxian sat alone by the window embroidering flowers, seeing Liang Xie enter the house and did not speak absent-mindedly doing the needlework in her hands, because of her actions last night, Liang Xie was also extremely unhappy, and immediately did not speak, thinking about the plan to go to the capital this time in her heart.
"Let me ask you again, will you go back with me?" Ren Jiaxian asked suddenly.
Listening to her unkind tone, Liang Xie was annoyed in his heart, and replied, "I'll talk about it in a few days." β
"In a few days?" Ren Jiaxian asked.
"I don't know. Liang Xie was also not angry.
"If you want to marry her, I will propose marriage to you, and you don't need to use your senior brother as a pretense. Ren Jiaxian said.
Liang Xie wanted to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he saw that his wife was looking at him with a sneer, knowing that it was useless to explain, so he invited her to ridicule in vain, and simply said: "What you like to do is your business, I don't care." β
"Are you willing to say that?" Ren Jiaxian continued to ask.
Liang Xie didn't speak, but he felt a sense of grievance in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that the person closest to him before he was desperate would misunderstand him so much.
Ren Jiaxian saw that he didn't speak, sneered twice, and didn't ask anymore, the sky gradually darkened, it was time for dinner, the two sat in a daze without saying a word, after a long time, Ren Jiaxian slowly stood up, put down the embroidery in her hand and pushed the door out, Liang Xie waited for her to go out for a while before pushing the door out, just opened the door, met Ren Xiao head-on, Ren Xiao saw that his sister was not pulling Liang Xie straight to the dining hall, it was a lot of people in the dining hall, the two chose a table to sit down, Liang Xie was not in the mood, and took two bites casually, Ren Xiao has never refused to eat and play, and he has to eat a few bites of every dish on the tableγ
After eating, the two went back to the house, it was dark in the house, Jiaxian had not come back, Liang Xie took the lamp, pulled a chair and sat down, Ren Xiao took out his son from his arms and practiced on the table again, Liang Xie and Ren Xiao didn't have much to say, and waited for his wife to come back while meditating and practicing qi. As a result, the two of them waited left and didn't see Ren Jiaxian come back, and they didn't see Ren Jiaxian come back on the right, Liang Xie couldn't help but be a little worried, it stands to reason that Ren Jiaxian should have come back a long time ago when she went out to eat, but there is no one until now, although Ren Jiaxian's strong temperament will never do stupid things, but it is not impossible for the mountain to be windy and fall down, and after waiting for a while, Liang Xie really couldn't sit still and shouted Ren Xiao, and the two went out to look for it.
Liang Xie first shouted twice outside, and went to the dining hall when he saw that no one answered, and no one had seen Ren Jiaxian under a question, obviously he had not come to eat, Liang Xie was anxious, and hurriedly ran out of the back mountain, the back mountain was empty and there was still no one, Liang Xie came back from the back mountain and went to the granary to find it again, and even uncovered the manhole covers of several wells and looked at it again or no one, Liang Xie was even more anxious and ignored Ren Xiao to start a light work to the top of the mountain and turned around, still no one was seen, and now he couldn't help sweating.
As soon as the cold wind on the top of the mountain blew, Liang Xie shivered, and suddenly thought of whether it would be a bath, and when he thought of taking a bath, Liang Xie hurriedly ran to the 'mixed hall' and asked, and Liang Xie who saw the 'mixed hall' boiling water steward was a little afraid to open his mouth, for fear of saying the word 'I don't know' from their mouths.
"Madam, I came with Miss Liu before, and I have just been gone for a while. "An aunt from the 'mixed hall' said.
"Eleven, how could the two of them be together, didn't Jiaxian misunderstand her?" Liang Xie put aside the doubts in his heart, thanked him and walked towards Liu Shiyi's residence.
It was already night, Liu Shiyi's room was lit up, and there were two graceful figures reflected on the lattice paper, obviously Liu Shiyi and Ren Jiaxian, Liang Xie was about to knock on the door a few steps ago, but he heard a woman in the room say: "My sister has so tender skin, it feels like satin, but I envy my sister to death, if there is no scar, it will be more beautiful, and I don't know which blessed person can marry my sister in the future." β
This voice was Ren Jiaxian's, and listening to them talk about the topic between women, Liang Xie was inconvenient to knock on the door to avoid embarrassment for the three of them, and immediately stepped aside a few steps.
Another woman's voice said: "My sister-in-law is a perfect beauty, in terms of appearance, background, and talent, I can't compare to my sister-in-law." It was Liu Shiyi who said this.
Ren Jiaxian hurriedly said: "Don't talk about your background, my sister is just lucky, if my sister is born in the official eunuch's house, she will definitely break through the threshold, what is the son of the county, the nephew of the prefect, we don't even look at it, at least the son of the official family above the third grade, we can only look at it." β
Liang Xie listened to it clearly, what Ren Jiaxian said was very similar to her situation back then, there was an endless stream of people who went to her house to propose marriage, and she never looked at it, and reluctantly agreed that the son of the governor's family ended up eloping.
Maybe he didn't know how to pick up Liu Yiyi and was speechless for a while, so he asked after a while: "Is there something wrong with my sister-in-law looking for me?"
"Don't call me sister-in-law, it seems to be too much, if my sister doesn't dislike it, call me sister. Ren Jiaxian said.
Liang Xie saw a figure on the window lattice and nodded, only to listen to Ren Jiaxian and said: "My sister has been on the mountain for so long, is there a young talent who can be seen? If you are embarrassed to speak, my sister and my father-in-law will help you match." β
Liu Shiyi said: "There have been a lot of accidents recently, and my little sister hasn't thought about this kind of thing for the time being." β
"My silly sister, no matter how much things change, it's their business, and we have to live our days. Ren Jiaxian said.
The two shadows on the window lattice approached, Ren Jiaxian lowered her voice and said solemnly: "Sister, don't worry, sister will pick one .....for you these days" Ren Jiaxian paused and said: "That Xiaolin in the back kitchen is diligent and willing to work, and the salary will be indispensable in the future, and he will follow him for a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing, my sister will see if my sister will go to tell him tomorrow or ask my father-in-law to mention it to him?"
Liu Shiyi said: "Thank you, sister-in-law...... Sister Meiyi, little sister's past is not acceptable to everyone, or ...... Don't harm the good of others, let's talk about the marriage later. β
"How so?" said Ren Jiaxian strangely. Liang Xie saw a figure in the room stand up, and then moved a few steps back and forth, and then Ren Jiaxian said: "My sister has such a good figure, a man will salivate, if it weren't for the misfortune in the past, it would not be his turn to be an apprentice, and now marrying him is his blessing." β
"Thank you sister for worrying, the little sister's family affairs should be natural. Liu Shiyi said with a smile.
Through the window lattice, the figure returned to sit down, listening to his wife's hard matchmaking, listening to Liu Shiyi's tone revealing a trace of loneliness, Liang Xie was even more embarrassed to knock on the door at this time, he was also curious, and wanted to know what his wife's purpose was for Liu Shiyi this time.
"The furnishings in my sister's house are quite elegant, with the demeanor of everyone's ladies, presumably my sister must be a master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, don't you think it's a pity to learn so much and no one appreciates the wasted years?" After a while, Ren Jiaxian said again.
Liu Shiyi said: "My sister made fun of it, where does my little sister know what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." β
A figure on the window lattice was long, moving a few steps underground, only to hear Ren Jiaxian's voice say: "Sister still doesn't understand? I'm afraid this sister has played this piano no less than a thousand times, right?"
Liu Shiyi said: "Sister lifted, this qin was given by a sister of 'Lutang', the former owner is indeed a master of the piano, but the younger sister has no such ability." β
Ren Jiaxian said: "My sister is too modest, I wonder if my sister is willing to play a song for my sister?"
"The mountain and wild tunes are unbearable, and my sister does not dislike my little sister and obeys it. Liu Shiyi said that, a figure stood up, walked to the left-hand side, and then picked up a strip-shaped object, walked back, and sat down again. Then the sound of the piano started, and after a few tunings, I only heard Liu Shiyi's voice and said: "My sister's family is knowledgeable and the mountain and wild minor tunes are insulting and clear, and the little sister has only learned a song "Fishing Qiao Q&A", the technique is not proficient, please don't dislike it, please don't dislike it." β
Ren Jiaxian smiled: "My sister must be stronger than my sister, how dare my sister dislike it?"
Liu Shiyi seemed to be stunned, speechless for a while, and after a while, the sound of the piano started again, and the melody was solemn and leisurely, and its voice rose or fell like a question and answer. This "Fisherman's Q&A" is very famous, Liang Xie has also heard of it, the life of leisurely landscapes in the song, and the fame and fortune are exactly what he longed for later, but unfortunately it was just a yearning.
"'Chase by tick. Labor, labor, labor. The world is in the dust. Who is Jayjee. Who is the hustle. Who is Tongqing. If that fellow man. It's woodwork and fishing. Fishing and woodcutters. Enlightenment into the fairy world. Jump over Fantao. ', 'Fishing, fishing, fishing. Boat Cliff ......' "Liu Shiyi finished playing and singing, and then started another paragraph, with the words of "Rational Yuanya", and waited for her to sing to the tenth paragraph'...... Dressed in coarse clothes. Sweet and light rice. Lie on the red wheel until the west slopes. Put the fishing rod also. Keep it in your hand at all times. At that time, Liang Xie imagined a picture in his heart - the sunset sky was red by the sunset, a small house by the river, the smoke was rising, he was fishing on the stones, his wife was washing rice and vegetables to prepare dinner, a man and a woman were catching grasshoppers and laughing and playing, the children's faces were covered with mud and dust, but they could not hide their laughter, these two children were their own children, the wife reprimanded the two children with a little complaint, but the eyes showed happiness......
Liang Xie was in a daze thinking about the life he longed for, Liu Shiyi sang two more paragraphs, the sound of the piano gradually subsided, and Liang Xie came back to his senses when he was excited.
