Chapter 22 The Poverty Society Enjoys the Prison Hours
Shangguan Yun knew that this so-called guest was actually similar to house arrest, and while he was hesitating, the Elder Yan spoke: "Shangguan and nephew don't have to think too much, it doesn't hurt to go to Gongzi's Mansion to live for a few days, don't you also want to know who your father's murderer is? Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"In this case, according to what Senior Brother Feng said, I will go. At this time, Shangguan Yun knew that it was impossible for him not to go. Although he was still a little hesitant in his heart, worried that Gongzi's Mansion would kill people and kill his mouth, but if he didn't go, there would be no way for him to escape at the moment, so he could only agree first, and what Elder Yan said was true, if Gongzi's Mansion Qiong was really willing to come forward, he might not be able to find out the thief who killed his father that day!
"Okay, Senior Brother Shangguan, let's go. ”
Shangguan Yun immediately followed Master Yan and his apprentices to Gongzi Qiong's Mansion, leaving only the Guan family's father and son looking at each other, and after a long time, Old Man Guan sighed and said, "This time, my Guan family is sorry for the little brother Shangguan, and I don't know if this little guy can come back alive." ”
Guan Peng hurriedly comforted his father: "Anyway, my Guan family has escaped this catastrophe, and my father doesn't have to be too sorry, I think this little brother has his own auspicious appearance, and he may not be in danger." ”
Besides, Shangguan Yun followed the two to Gongzi Qiong's mansion, and when the guards in front of the door saw the three of them, they hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute. Shangguan Yun took a closer look and found that although this son's mansion was large, the door was also quite simple, which showed that the Guan family's father and son said that Gongzi Qiong was a low-key person was indeed true.
Entering the gate, Elder Yan smiled and introduced Shangguan Yun to the courtyards along the way, which showed that he was quite familiar with Gongzi's Mansion, but Gongzifeng, as the master, still had a serious face, following Elder Yan with a respectful look.
There are many courtyards in Gongzi's mansion, although they are not luxurious, but the ingenious layout of the courtyard and the exquisite pavilion are enough to open Shangguan Yun's eyes. As he was walking, Feng Gongzi suddenly spoke, pointed to a small courtyard on the side of the road and said to Elder Yan, "Master, let Senior Brother Shangguan stay here for the time being." ”
Elder Yan smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Feng Gongzi then called the maidservant, pointed to Shangguan Yun and said, "This is my junior brother, I will live here temporarily from today, you must be entertained, don't be slow." ”
Several handmaidens hurriedly agreed, "Don't worry, son, we will serve you wholeheartedly." ”
After the order was completed, Feng Gongzi said to Shangguan Yun: "Senior Brother Shangguan, please live here temporarily, if you need anything, just tell the maidservant, but the road in the house is tortuous, don't trespass." I'll come back to see you when I'm done!"
Shangguan Yun had already made up his mind at this time, and if he came, he would be safe, so he smiled and said, "It's according to Gongzi's arrangement." Then he said goodbye to the two of them, and walked straight into the small courtyard.
The small courtyard is not big, but it is also exquisite, with an osmanthus tree in the middle, two rows of green bamboos planted around, and a set of white marble tables and chairs engraved with a chessboard. There are three rooms in the small courtyard, the main room is the living room, the left head is the residence of Shangguan Yun, the right head is the maidservant's residence, the furnishings in the house are all available, although it is not luxurious, but it is all fine wood refined, the four walls are also hung with some calligraphy and paintings, it seems that most of them are from the handwriting of famous artists.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Shangguan Yun told a few maidservants not to disturb him, and then went into the house to practice.
Half a month passed, Shangguan Yun did not see Feng Gongzi's master and apprentice again, and no one else came to disturb him, and the maidservants called Shangguan Yun to eat on time at the beginning, and after a few days, they got used to him hiding in the house alone and not coming out, so they delivered the food to the door and didn't care about him anymore.
Under the cultivation of peace of mind, in the past half a month, Shangguan Yun's cultivation has actually improved a little more, but he didn't know that at this time, in the main hall of Gongzi's Mansion, there were several people talking.
"Elder Yan, the person who went to Kunshan City to investigate has returned, what Shangguan Yun said is true, but I don't know how this person suddenly entered your Changchun Gate later. The person who spoke was about forty-five or sixteen years old, with a white face, a slight beard, and an elegant demeanor, and it was the second son of the current lord of Luoshen, Qiong.
"Your Royal Highness, I have also heard a little about this matter, it is said that Uncle Bai, who was expelled from the division in the early years, sent this person to the division, and the specific reason is really not clear. Elder Yan bowed slightly to Gongzi Qiong and said.
"Oh, isn't it the most outstanding disciple of the previous generation of Changchun Sect, known as the Jade-faced Immortal Monarch, who later fell in love with the Demon King and finally broke away from the sect?"
"It's that Uncle Bai. ”
"Then with Elder Yan's intentions, what should we do with this Shangguan Yun?" Gongzi Qiong asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, why don't you listen to the opinion of the Wind Master first?"
"Oh, Feng'er, what do you think about this?"
Feng Gongzi, who was standing like a flagpole on the side, bowed down and saluted his father and master, and then said: "As far as the child knows, this Shangguan Yun has no contact with other disciples in Changchun Gate, and lives alone with Elder Zhao Yifan in Feiliu Valley. In addition, this person's cultivation is not high, but he can often hunt demon beasts, which shows that this person is brave and resourceful; Therefore, according to the child, this person is not an enemy, and it is best if he can receive it as a help, otherwise, let this person swear a heavy oath not to disclose the jade pendant matter, and let it go, after all, he is my Changchun disciple. ”
After listening to Feng Gongzi's words, Gongzi Qiong and Elder Yan both nodded, obviously quite satisfied with Feng Gongzi's analysis.
"Young Master Feng's words are reasonable, which shows wisdom, Your Highness is really blessed to have such a son!" Elder Yan said to Gongzi Qiong with a smile.
"Where! It's not that Elder Yan has taught well, I've thanked you here in advance!" Gongzi Qiong was also full of smiles.
"Your Highness, I have been divining for the past few days, this Shangguan Yun's fate is quite peculiar, although the life experience is chaotic and dangerous, but it is quite auspicious, but it is strange to say, this person can't see the future clearly, as if he was deliberately covered up by some force. ”
"Oh, there is such a thing, even Elder Yan can't see it clearly! Then, according to Elder Yan's intentions, what should be done with this Shangguan Yun now?" Gongzi Qiong was a little unconvinced of Elder Yan's words.
"In my opinion, according to Feng'er's intentions, but I don't need to swear by it, I think this person is quite cautious in handling things, and he is unwilling to do much by nature, and he will not leak the matter of the jade pendant. Just treat each other with courtesy, give enough benefits, and there will be a time for reciprocation in the future. ”
"Okay, just follow what Elder Yan said. Feng'er, you might as well have more contact with this Shangguan Yun in the future and see if you can get help. ”
"My son understands!" replied the wind boy dryly.
"Okay, Feng'er, you can arrange it. ”
At this time, Shangguan Yun was sitting on the stone chair in the small courtyard reading a book, he was optimistic by nature, he faintly forgot the danger he was facing, Feng Gongzi did not come, and he was also happy. The life in the Childe's Mansion is far more comfortable than him in the Feiliu Valley, the food is much more exquisite, and he is also happy, these days, in addition to cultivation, is to read books, occasionally listen to the maids bickering, look at the strange flowers and plants in the small courtyard, can be poor, but also good at pleasure, this is his character.
"Senior Brother Shangguan, are you still used to living here?"
"I'm used to living, to be honest, it's much more comfortable here than Feiliu Valley!, thank you Feng Gongzi!" Shangguan Yun looked at Feng Gongzi with a smile, but he was wondering in his heart, this kid always stood like a flagpole, isn't he tired?
"That's good, I'm here to invite you on behalf of my father today, Senior Brother Shangguan come with me. ”
"His Royal Highness Qiong, does he want to see me?" Shangguan Yun thought to himself, he should have come.
"Okay, please lead the way. ”
Shangguan Yun followed Feng Gongzi and walked about a meal in Gongzi's mansion before coming to the front of the main hall, and then followed Feng Gongzi into the main hall.
Gongzi Qiong and Elder Yan were both waiting in the main hall, and when they saw the two coming in, Gongzi Qiong first smiled and walked over to greet them.
"This is Feng'er's junior brother Shangguan Yun? Well, it's really a talent, a young hero. As he spoke, he took Shangguan Yun's hand and looked him up and down.
"The younger Shangguan Yun sees His Royal Highness Gongzi Qiong. Shangguan Yun hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"You're welcome, I couldn't see you in time because of business a few days ago, which made you wronged, how are you doing in the house?"
"Domeng takes care of everything, and it's a trouble for His Highness. ”
"What do you say, you have already done me a great favor by sending back the Qinglong jade pendant, and you are kind to me first, and you and Feng'er are the same door, why bother to see outside! Listen to Feng'er, Ling Zun was killed because of this jade pendant, I also feel very uncomfortable, you can rest assured, sooner or later you will send someone to find out about this matter and avenge your father! Also, this will be your home in the future, don't see outside, if you need anything, just tell me!"
Gongzi Qiong's words made Shangguan Yun's heart warm, although he knew that Gongzi Qiong's words had implications, but his eyes couldn't help but be a little sour for a while.
"His Royal Highness Gongzi Xie!" Shangguan Yun bowed deeply to Gongzi Qiong.
"Okay, okay, you're welcome, come, sit down and talk!" Gongzi Qiong asked Shangguan Yun to sit down first, and as for Feng Gongzi, he was still poking there like a flagpole.
"Elder Yan, Shangguan Xian's nephew sent the jade pendant back this time, it stands to reason that I should be thanked, but you cultivators, if you send some gold and silver property, it may be useless, you are also a cultivator, see what I should prepare for Shangguan Xian's nephew?"
"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid you have to ask Shangguan and your nephew in person about this matter, I really can't be the master. Elder Yan replied with a smile.
"It's okay, Shangguan Xian's nephew, what do you need, just say it. ”
"Back to Your Highness, firstly, my little nephew and I have always lived in the mountains and wilderness, and there is no need for it, and secondly, to send back the jade pendant, it is entrusted by others, it is really a duty, how dare I ask for a thank you gift. ”
"Okay! Ju Gong is not arrogant, indifferent to the mountains and wilderness, and is really a famous disciple's demeanor. But even so, I have to thank you again, otherwise my Royal Highness, a dignified son, will not make people laugh. Gongzi Qiong was obviously very satisfied with Shangguan Yun's answer.
"Feng'er, go and get a hundred taels of gold and give it to Shangguan Xian's nephew. ”
"Yes!" Feng Gongzi turned to leave.
"Don't!" Shangguan Yun hurriedly stopped, and bowed deeply to Gongzi Qiong, "Your Highness, the little nephew really doesn't love the things of gold and silver, if you must reward it, I have a request." ”
"Oh, just as it goes. Gongzi Qiong looked at Shangguan Yun with some surprise.
"Little nephew, I am lazy by nature, in addition to cultivation, I only have two hobbies, one is hunting, the other is reading, books in the mountains are rare, if Your Highness must reward you, my little nephew hopes to let me pick a few books in the library in the house, I am very grateful!"
"Shangguan Xian's nephew really surprised me, what a person who doesn't love gold and loves to read, it's moving! What's so difficult about this, Feng'er, you accompany Shangguan Xian's nephew to the library to go around, and if there are books he likes, just hand them over to him. ”
