Chapter 21 The Mansion of Anguo
Now that the Yuntan Demon Barrier has been removed and the body has recovered as before, the two decided to return to the secular family of their original intentions, the hereditary Anguo Mansion. Chuxin took out the mutton fat white jade jue that the dead wood monk gave him before leaving, and the dead wood once told him that this was a token of his recognition of his ancestors and his return to his ancestors, and he must not lose it. Now that "home" is close in front of him, he feels that the jade in his hand has become very heavy.
Although they knew that the Anguo Mansion must be the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi, when they came to the gate of the Anguo Mansion in the inner city, they really understood what it meant to be a "high-ranking family". The vermilion lacquer gate is closed, and the plaque "Anguo Mansion" is hung on it, and the two stone lions at the door are majestic and solemn, showing the domineering momentum.
The two glanced at each other, Chuxin stepped forward and pulled the knocker and knocked twice, and then a small servant came to open the door, and saw a handsome young man dressed as a monk standing at the door, followed by a beautiful woman. The little servant asked politely, "May I ask who your Excellency is?"
"The poor monk was the original intention, asking to see An Guogong, and the little brother was tired of passing it on. Chuxin replied.
"Please wait, Master. After seeing Chuxin nodding in agreement, the little guy closed the door.
After a while, the vermilion door opened, and out of it came a handsome young man, whose face looked like his original intention, but his steps were heavy and weak, and his eyebrows were quite sickly. The young man supported a beautiful woman surrounded by pearls and greenery, and her face was not young, but her facial features were exquisite, and it was conceivable that she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young. Behind them stood two rows of servants, of different ages but all respectful and courteous.
The woman and the young man both had tears in their eyes when they saw their original intentions, and the two stepped forward to hold their original intentions one left and one right. The woman had just opened her mouth and cried, "My son," and wept silently, and tears rained down. The young man called out "big brother" on the one hand, and comforted the woman on the other hand: "Mother, the eldest brother has been tired all the way, so let's go in first." ”
The woman nodded again and again, holding her hand and refusing to let go, leading him all the way into the hall. Chuxin looked back at Yun Tan, and everyone found that there was a very beautiful girl behind him, and the woman saw that Yun Tan looked handsome and beautiful, but for some reason she showed a little worry. Yun Tan keenly noticed that it was not only the old lady, everyone saw that although she was kind and smiling on the surface, there was a trace of vigilance seeping out from the details. She thought about it a few times, and it was indeed the first time she met everyone, and she didn't understand why everyone didn't like her.
The three of them came all the way to the hall, and the woman did not sit on the top, but only sat next to Chuxin and asked him if the road was smooth, and then asked Jiang Cheng when he arrived, and Chuxin answered them one by one. When the young man saw that the woman did not sit on the head, he naturally did not dare to sit down, but sat on his left side to accompany him. Seeing that the woman was so happy that she was incoherent, the young man smiled and said, "Mother, the eldest brother has just come home, and you and I don't know who we are, do you think we should introduce each other first?"
The woman smiled with joy and even claimed yes. The young man introduced to Chuxin: "Big brother, this is the old lady of the Anguo Mansion, you and my mother-in-law. I am Ye Zhiqiu, your own brother, and now An Guogong. At present, there are only two people in the family, my mother and me, and I look forward to you returning home day and night. After speaking, he held his original heart tightly and said, his eyes moistened.
Chuxin took out the mutton fat white jade jue and handed it to the young man and said: "I am a monk of Tan Pavilion, the Dharma name Chuxin, and I have been practicing with my master Master Deadwood since I was a child. He beckoned Yun Tan to step forward and said, "This is Yun Tan, the orphan girl I rescued in Tan Pavilion, coming with me all the way." ”
The old lady's maiden name is Wang Chuqing, and she is the daughter of Wang Chu's family. As soon as she heard her original intention that she had "practiced with her master since she was a child", she couldn't control it again, and tears welled up. Ye Zhiqiu respectfully handed Bai Yujue to the old lady, she took it in her hand and rubbed it carefully, but she couldn't cry again. Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, but Chu Chu stood aside and stood quietly, without any expression or action.
Yun Tan gently poked him with her elbow next to him, and when he looked at her, she quickly glanced at him and motioned for him to come forward and comfort the old lady. He hesitated, but still didn't move. He could feel the kindness and welcome of the mother and son to him, he was not moved in his heart, he knew that this was his relatives, knew that this was family affection, but he had not yet learned how to express his feelings. When strangers meet in this world, there is no need to rush to express their fiery feelings.
When the old lady recovered, she took the jade jue and said to her original heart: "My son, do you know that this jade jue is the heirloom of my Ye family, the cherished thing of the ancestors of the Ye family, and the favorite of your father when he was alive." When the master took you away, he said to your father that the day I will see Yu Jue again will be when my son will return home. It's a pity that your father is blessed and can't see you again...... From today on, you are no longer the original monk of the original heart, but the eldest son of my Anguo Mansion, Ye Xiuyuan. ”
The original intention is noncommittal, Deadwood did say to him that he is no longer a monk when he leaves the Tan Pavilion, but along the way he still considers himself a monk, and now Gao Tang has an order to let him be "Ye Xiuyuan", but he still can't leave the "original intention" in his heart.
Yun Tan stared at the white jade jue in the old lady's hand, and suddenly there was a roar in his head, and his heart was as if it had been rubbed countless times, so sad that it was difficult to even breathe. She suddenly grabbed Chuxin's arm, almost unable to stand. Chu Chu looked at her in surprise and found that her face was pale and her eyes were out of focus, thinking that her body had not yet recovered, so he hurriedly supported her.
Seeing this, the old lady and Ye Zhiqiu immediately asked someone to help Yun Tan down to rest, but Yun Tan grabbed Chu Chu's arm tightly and refused to let go, so Chu Chu had to confess to the two of them and personally took Yun Tan to the guest room. Who knew that after leaving the hall, Yun Tan felt that the painful and uncomfortable feeling disappeared, she let go of her original intention and touched her chest with her hand, looking puzzled.
Seeing that she was extremely uncomfortable for a while and did some inexplicable actions for a while, Chuxin asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
Yun Tan was also puzzled and replied, "I don't know either." Looking at your jade jue just now, I suddenly felt ...... in my heart I don't know what it's like...... It was as if his heart was dying of pain, and he couldn't even breathe. ”
"You were sick like that some time ago, and you may not have fully recovered. It's just a jade jue, I've always put it on my body, if something doesn't happen to me, shouldn't I be the first to find out. "I didn't think so.
Yun Tan shook his head, thought about it for a while, and really didn't think there was anything wrong with that jade, so he said suspiciously: "Maybe." ”
"I don't think you looked good just now, if you insist on refusing to let me take the pulse, then ask a doctor to take a look. "Yun Tan has been refusing to see a doctor since he got sick, and his original intention has always been a little uneasy.
Yun Tan naturally refused because she knew that her illness did not need a doctor, and in this world, only Chu Xin alone could cure her. She dragged Chuxin to slow down, and only said to Chuxin when the servant woman who led the way was far away: "Chuxin, can you promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you can't leave me and walk away by yourself?"
Chu Xin suddenly remembered that Yun Tan had said to him "forever", his eyes became deep, and he looked at her and said, "How long is 'later'?"
"What?" Yun Tan didn't understand.
Looking at Yun Tan's ignorant look, Chu Chu sighed and said helplessly: "I promise you." ”
Chu Xin didn't know what was wrong with him, he only knew that he was worried about Yun Tan in the days when he was on the road alone, and he couldn't do things in peace. He thought to himself, "That being the case, whether you say tomorrow or forever, I will never leave you behind." At this time, I didn't know the original intention, and this promise actually came 500 years late.
