Chapter 19: Maple Leaf
"Oh, is it really someone from the Maple Leaf Sword Sect who is here?" asked Xiao Yue, with a somewhat excited look, the girl's surname is not lost, and she likes to watch the excitement.
"Hurry up and eat! Only when you have eaten a full meal can you have the strength to fight!" Xiao Yuesheng knew that Xiao Yue's food was not small, and at this moment, I am afraid that she was not full, besides, she patronized and talked to Bing'er, but she didn't eat much.
He has always had the habit of taking a nap after a meal.
So every time he finished lunch, he would naturally feel sleepy, and now, he was a little sleepy, so he suddenly leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and gently closed his eyes, a picture of closing his eyes and recuperating.
Xiaoyu was also busy bowing her head to eat, she hadn't eaten yet, and after talking for a while, she felt a little hungry.
"Maple Leaf Sword Sect ......" Hong Lingbo whispered softly, she suddenly felt a little irritable, stood up gently, turned around and stood in front of the pavilion window, the cold wind came to her face, making her mind clear.
I haven't walked in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and my courage has become smaller.
When she followed behind the master, she was so embarrassed, only they chased and killed others, and no one had the courage to chase and kill them, but now, she was chased and killed, it was really thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, feng shui in turns, she smiled bitterly in her heart.
Maybe it's really like the master said, I am too soft-hearted.
The first few groups of people were beaten to the ground by themselves, but they didn't kill them and spared them, but the Nanshan Gang didn't know how to do it, and still sent people over, do you really think that as a disciple of Li Mochou, you are a soft persimmon!
As she thought about it, a cold aura escaped from her, and the murderous aura that had been hidden in her for a long time was ready to move.
Xiao Yuesheng didn't know when a round jade pendant appeared in his hand, the size of a palm, verdant and warm, and extremely smooth and delicate. He closed his eyes slightly, as silent as an old monk, and the jade pendant flipped between his fingers from time to time, and then was rubbed against the palm of his hand.
Xiaoyu Xiaoyue didn't think it was different, this was their son's old habit, and Bing'er secretly looked at him from time to time, feeling that this master was really a special person.
"It's coming!" Satsuki said softly.
Everyone didn't move, Xiao Yuesheng closed his eyes and was in a trance, Hong Lingbo looked out the window in a daze, with his back to them, Xiaoyu still lowered his head to eat, as if he hadn't heard it, only Bing'er's expression suddenly became nervous, staring at the door.
Xiaoyu had already heard someone coming into the building, and after hearing if she had seen a Taoist aunt and a girl, she heard what they said in their mouths, such as "Piercing Hands", "You and I must be careful" and so on.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"It's coming!" Bing'er stood up sharply and tightened the short sword she had just gotten in her hand.
Xiaoyu put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up calmly, and opened the door.
Outside the door stood two thin middle-aged men, one tall and one short, with a slender face, a clear face, and a short one with a round face, and his eyebrows were full of gloom, as if there was something in his heart that could not be resolved. Both of them wore long swords, their hands were slender and slender, their eyes were sharp, and their essence was faint.
"...... are you?" asked Xiao Yu gently.
"Ahem, excuse me, we're looking for someone!" the tall man arched his hand, gentle and polite, quite elegant.
When he looked at Xiao Yu, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Xiao Yu secretly praised in her heart, she knew what her appearance was, at first glance, others were almost shaken, unable to help themselves, it took a long time to restrain her gaze, this person in front of her could be closed at a touch, the strength of concentration is really rare! And his eyes are soft, there is no evil spirit between his eyebrows, obviously rarely killing, and there is inevitably some compassion in his heart.
"Second brother, let's see if it's them!" he said to the other person without squinting, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yu's snow-white wrist, implying vigilance.
"Uh-huh!" The short man woke up from Xiaoyu's beautiful face, his face was dark red, and he hurriedly took out two long scrolls and scrolls from his arms, one in each hand, hung down in front of him and opened them, glanced at them, and looked into the room again.
"The Dao aunt at the window and the little girl in apricot yellow clothes next to her are the two of them!"
"Good ......"
"Hmph! rude!" Xiao Yuqiao's face sank slightly, and she snorted heavily.
The two people in front of the "buzzing ......" only felt that there seemed to be a brass big Lu suddenly hitting in their ears, like a thunderbolt on the top, and the door of their heads seemed to explode, painful and dizzy.
"Pounce!" The sharp eyes of the two gradually dimmed, and they could no longer suppress the pain in their chests, and they couldn't help but open their mouths and spurt out a mouthful of blood.
Some of the two looked at each other, and they could clearly see the shock in each other's eyes.
"Hmph, you Maple Leaf Sect people, you are getting more and more bold! Tell Ye Chong, be honest!" Xiao Yu's voice was tactful and soft, and the volume was very small, as if she was whispering, but what she said was old-fashioned.
The head of the Maple Leaf Sword School is called Ye Chong, with excellent swordsmanship, and he is a hero in martial arts, and he has become famous in the martial arts in recent years.
Xiao Yu twisted her waist slightly, turned around and looked at the room, only Xiao Yue and Bing'er were looking nervously at this side, one looking excited and the other full of nervousness.
His son-in-law was still sitting with his eyes closed, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Childe's expression, she made up her mind.
Xiaoyu looked at Hong Lingbo again, she didn't know that there was someone here, she was still standing quietly by the attic window, the jade was facing outward, the breeze floated in with a few snowflakes, blowing up a few locks of long hair next to her sideburns, a little fluttering, extremely beautiful, no wonder her son-in-law was moved, and he was a gift and a sister.
The two of them breathed attentively, and opened their mouths to speak: "Fang Jia, ......?" The voice was a little hoarse and dry.
Xiao Yu turned her head, smiled, and said, "My name is Xiao Yu, and I am Xiao Xing's sister, Ye Zhong naturally knows." Don't disturb my son-in-law's rest, you guys go!" With that, the little crystal jade hand waved slightly, signaling them to leave.
The two of them stood stunned, unable to take their eyes off her face, and her smile was like the sun suddenly breaking through the dark clouds, and suddenly the light burst into light, which made them godly take away.
Xiao Yu didn't pay attention to their stupid appearance, turned around and closed the door, and decided in his heart to go back and let Xiao Xing go to the Maple Leaf Sect again, and then teach Ye Zhong a good lesson, which can be regarded as a small punishment for his disciples.
The two of them were shocked and frustrated in their hearts, the two of them were very talented, they worshiped the Maple Leaf Sword Sect when they were young, their master was the head of the Maple Leaf Sword Sect, Ye Chongying, a swordsmanship, a sword defeat countless masters, almost invincible in the Jiangnan martial arts, at that time the Maple Leaf Sword Sect was still nameless, they were personally witnessing the Maple Leaf Sword Sect is becoming stronger, the reputation is long, and their hearts are full of pride and pride.
With their qualifications, they have already learned the master's skills of seven or eight points, and they thought that with their swordsmanship, they were also among the best masters in the martial arts. The master sent his two brothers to intercept and kill the two women, although he knew that the two were quite tricky, but the Nanshan Gang was a rabble, their words were not accurate, and their hearts were full of self-confidence.
I didn't expect that there would be such a master in the world! Or such a beautiful young girl, I couldn't believe it in my heart, and I couldn't help but wonder if this was a dream, I secretly pinched myself, and the severe pain told me that all this was true.
With full of surprise and loss, the two staggered away from Yingquan Tower, and their lonely figure was sad.
Xiaoxing is extremely fond of martial arts, and when he heard the reputation of the Maple Leaf Sword Sect, he ran there and forced the head of the house, Ye Chong, to compete with her, and the result was naturally that Ye Chong was beaten not lightly, but after beating people, she would still give him some advice, so that he would have all kinds of tastes in his heart, and his color changed when he heard the word Xiaoxing.
"Childe ......" Xiao Yu stood beside Xiao Yuesheng and shouted softly.
"Oh, heh, so sleepy!" Xiao Yuesheng opened his eyes, yawned, and stretched his waist, revealing a lazy and free feeling.
Xiaoyue had a full stomach to ask, but seeing that Sister Xiaoyu was talking to her son, she had to hold back first, Bing'er was still ignorant, and in the clouds, she didn't know why the two of them thundered loudly and rained little, so they didn't rush in.
"Good Xiaoyu, you are a bodhisattva!" Xiao Yuesheng smiled lightly, and the jade pendant that he had been playing with suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
"Gongzi Xie compliments!" Xiao Yu exuded joy from her heart.
Hong Lingbo is Li Mochou's disciple, Li Mochou was only a few people in the martial arts back then, so many years, Hong Lingbo's martial arts are probably no less than Li Mochou back then, the martial arts of the Maple Leaf Sword Sect are not opponents at all, if they are allowed to come over, with the murderous aura exuded by Hong Lingbo, it is not difficult to conclude that those two people are either dead or wasted, and Xiaoyu sent those two away, but it was a good intention.
"Xiao Yue, go get some warm water and let Childe wash his face!" Xiao Yu sat down beside him, and when he saw that Xiao Yue was about to speak, he ordered to come down.
"Oh, okay!" the eldest sister's words, she obeyed her words and obeyed them.
"Uncle Xiaoyu, are they here to deal with us?" Bing'er asked a little uncomfortably, her voice was delicate, but she was a little depressed in her heart, why is it that everyone here is a generation older than herself, and there is no one younger than herself, I really want to be an elder.
"Yes, they have portraits of both of you in their hands. β
"Then how do you know that they are from the Maple Leaf Sword Sect?"
"There is a maple leaf embroidered on the placket of their clothes, which is the mark of their Maple Leaf Sword Sect disciple. β
"Uncle Xiaoyu, your eyes are so sharp! Bing'er is far behind!"
"Hehe, these are all accumulated experience, as soon as you learn it, you can understand it at a point, don't you know it now! Every sect disciple has its logo, most of them are tattooed on their clothes, like the Maple Leaf Sword Sect is embroidered with maple leaves on the placket, the Nanshan Gang embroiders the mountain, and the Fengyun Gang embroiders the umbrella, as long as you pay attention to it, you can find that it is very simple. When Xiaoyu saw Bing'er's innocent and delicate appearance, she loved it in her heart, and her tone was soft and intimate.
Hong Lingbo turned around at this time, looking at her apprentice's eyes full of doting, she smiled slightly at Xiaoyu, and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiaoyu, for blocking the trouble for me just now." β
Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Xiao Yu doesn't dare to be! That kind of character who doesn't enter the martial arts, he doesn't dare to bother Sister Hong to make a move, Xiao Yu handles it without authorization, and I hope Sister Hong won't be surprised!"
"Where...... Hong Lingbo shook his head, and was about to say another when the door was opened.
"Come on, Childe, wash your face. Satsuki squeezed open the door with a steaming wooden basin and walked in.
Xiao Yuesheng nodded, washed his face, took the towel, Xiaoyu gave him another haircut, straightened his robe, and the movements were extremely familiar, and each link was interlocking, not chaotic, and very tacit.
This is completely the style of a rich son, Hong Lingbo has never seen this, he frowned secretly, and he was extremely unaccustomed to it.
She lives in the Taoist temple with her master Li Mochou and Bing'er, without servants, and usually does everything by herself and is self-reliant. She doesn't have a good impression of the children of rich families, and naturally she is also disgusted with their life style, seeing Xiao Yuesheng's rich habits, even if she hides love in her heart, it is a little unpleasant.
Her performance was in Xiao Yuesheng's eyes, but he didn't care, he just smiled in his heart, the environment affects people, changes people, and concepts can be changed.
The meal had been eaten, a small storm had passed, the heavy snow outside had stopped, and they were on their way.
Xiao Yuesheng invited Hong Lingbo's master and apprentice to Mission Hills Villa for the New Year, Hong Lingbo struggled in his heart, and finally did not agree, he wanted to go back to accompany the master, and then agreed to the invitation to visit Mission Hills Villa after the New Year.
Xiao Yuesheng was not reluctant, he was indifferent to his sense of time, and he did not feel in a hurry.
Outside the restaurant, the snow is beginning to clear.
Xiao Yuesheng took the reins handed over by his partner Chen Er, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Let's go back for the New Year this year!"
"Yes...... Thank you!" Chen Er was a little stunned when he heard this, and then his voice trembled with excitement, his eyes were slightly moist, and he was about to turn over and kowtow.
"You don't have to...... Do a good job, don't fall into the name of my villa!" he secretly flicked his long sleeves to block Chen Er's posture.
"Chen Er, you go back first. Xiao Yu reminded softly beside her.
"Yes, ma'am. Chen Er replied respectfully, suddenly remembered the regulations of the village, wiped his eyes very quickly, and turned to leave.
The regulations of Mission Hills Villa, to a large extent, carry the imprint of Xiao Yuesheng's life experience, and the servants implement a point inspection system, and when they reach a certain score, they can be released and practice outside for three years to live at the grassroots level, and then they can apply for a loan from the villa to start a business, or work in the subordinate industries of the villa.
During the period of external training, you cannot have any contact with the villa, and when you encounter people from the villa, you must also pretend not to know, and when your life is in danger, you can ask the people of the villa for help.
For Chen Er, Mission Hills Villa is his home, and he can't go back once in two years, he misses the easy-going owner, the wives of the immortals, and his close brothers and sisters, and he meets the owner and the two ladies, but he can't come forward to see each other, which makes him uncomfortable, but he doesn't dare to violate the rules of the villa, but he didn't expect the owner to be gracious and let him go back to the villa for the New Year.
"This little guy is also a good seedling. Xiao Yuesheng said to Xiao Yu beside him with a smile.
Xiao Yu pursed her lips and chuckled, a few steps away over there, Xiao Yue was busy talking to Bing'er, carefully explaining to her the wonders of the short sword, which made Hong Lingbo's master and apprentice surprised, and he didn't pay attention to the situation here.
Xiao Yuesheng looked at the sky, this meal took a little long! He smiled: "Xiao Yue, are you finished?...... Just your words!"
Xiao Yue hurriedly sped up her speech, hurriedly finished speaking, and ran over.
Xiao Yuesheng arched his hand and said with a smile: "Ling Bo, let's say goodbye to it, and we will talk in my village for a long time next year!"
"Brother Xiao has a good journey!" Hong Lingbo suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, it was difficult to say goodbye when he met, and it was difficult to say goodbye at first sight, all kinds of tastes came to his heart, fortunately, he soon reached the New Year's Pass, and after the New Year's Pass, she went to Mission Hills Villa to sit as a guest, she made up her mind in her heart, and she couldn't care about the reserve of her daughter's family.
"Goodbye uncle, Bing'er will definitely visit Uncle Shi next year!" Bing'er is also a little reluctant, she has no father since she was a child, she has never received father's love, when she saw Xiao Yuesheng, she felt his love for herself, and her admiration arose.
"Then Uncle I'll wait for Bing'er to come. Take good care of your Master...... Let's go!" Xiao Yuechang laughed, turned around and jumped on the horse, lifted the reins, made a turn, and rode away, and soon disappeared at the end of the long street.
"Master, let's go too. Bing'er reminded the master who was still standing.
Hong Lingbo rolled his crystal clear eyes, withdrew his gaze from a distance, glanced at Bing'er, and nodded a little gloomily: "Let's go too." β
As soon as they stepped on the horse's back, she suddenly heard a rapid and dull sound of horses' hooves behind her, and she turned to look back with inexplicable joy in her heart.
The thick snow will make the horse's hooves much quieter than usual, not crisp enough to sound, and a little dull.
Xiao Yu came on horseback, the snow flew under his hooves, stirring up a cloud of snow mist, and in the blink of an eye, he came to them, jumped off the horse lightly, and handed over three round jade pendants.
These three pieces of jade are smaller than those in Xiao Yuesheng's hand, one is dark green, and the other is yellow, all of them are crystal clear, the luster is bright, and the faint glow is very good-looking.
"Sister Hong, this is the talisman jade talisman that Gongzi gave you and Bing'er, two yellow pieces are escape talismans, drop a drop of blood on it, can instantly send the holder out of ten miles away, you can use one for many people, but the effect is doubled and weakened, two people can only teleport five miles, and three people only have three miles, Gongzi instructs you to remember to wear it with you, so that you can use it to get out of danger in a critical moment. This green talisman is a signal talisman, and when you arrive in Jiaxing in the future, you only need to drop a drop of blood on the jade talisman, and the prince will naturally know where you are. β
"Uncle Xiaoyu, why do you have to use blood?!" Bing'er played with the jade pendant in her hand, couldn't put it down, and stuck out her tongue when she heard the method of use introduced by Xiaoyu.
"Giggles" Xiaoyu chuckled, "Originally, I used internal force, but I am afraid that the internal force is insufficient, and it is okay to use blood, which is simple and safer, otherwise, the internal force is insufficient and cannot be used, isn't it dangerous?"
"You girl, there are so many problems! Such strange things, I still hate this and that!" Hong Lingbo scolded with a smile and thanked him.
Her heart is full of sweetness, these two jade talismans, their preciousness is incomparable, with this jade talisman, it is equivalent to a few more lives for himself, he is so generous, obviously he is extremely concerned about himself, compared with this heart, the jade talisman is much lighter.
Xiao Yu saw Hong Lingbo's stunned thoughts, pursed his lips and chuckled, turned the horse's head, stepped on the snow, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
When he was on the road again, Hong Lingbo felt a lot better, caressing the jade pendant wrapped around his wrist, and there was an indescribable sense of stability in his heart, this jade pendant may have been often played with by that person in his hand before, thinking of this, as if the jade pendant had a bit of his breath, holding it, just like accompanying him, the heart was indescribably peaceful and happy.
Since leaving Ji'an Mansion, Xiao Yuesheng's face began to be gloomy.
Xiao Yuesheng's surname is a little like comfort and enjoyment, and he never rides a horse when he is in a hurry, and always takes a carriage.
Lying in a comfortable carriage, or drinking, or playing the piano, or painting, vassal elegance, self-enjoyment.
He really has no talent for making poetry, because he likes to be free and unrestrained, and he can't stand the constraints of that format, but he still wants to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the purpose is nothing else, just to pass the boring time.
There is no challenge to these surnames, under his far beyond the wisdom of ordinary people, he will soon be handy, swaying freely, all fine, he once said to his wife, he is such an all-rounder, it is a pity not to go to the field to show his skills. After finishing Yan Ping, she talked lightly about the way of making poetry, and immediately let him stop thinking about it.
This time I went home to change my usual habits and ride a horse to hurry, one is to try the new, and the other is to give the two little girls some hardships to eat, so that they know that it is not easy to go to the rivers and lakes, so as not to be ready to move in their hearts, and always want to come out to play.
As soon as he left Hong Lingbo, he still thought about her cold beauty in his heart, thinking that she would come to his house next year.
Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed and remembered his wife.
Usually although she is gentle and understanding, but if she marries another woman and enters the door, it must break her heart, how is this good?
"Rideβ" He slapped down his horse and sped up again.
Letting go of the protective qi, the cold wind hit his cheeks, and he wanted the cold wind to blow away his sorrow.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoyue also urged the horse to speed up, chasing behind him, the delicate bodies of the two rose and fell with the horse, all one, flying and fluttering, indescribably beautiful and moving.
"Sister Xiaoyu, Childe is a little unhappy!" The whirring cold wind could not stop the conversation between the two, and they condensed their voices into a bundle of silk threads and aimed them directly at each other's ears, which was also the method of transmitting sound into secrets.
"Well, maybe it's because I just separated from Sister Hong!" Xiao Yu glanced at the somewhat silent Gongzi in front of him, and said in a low voice.
She was not in a very good mood either, and she was also worried about what she was going to face.
Xiao Yuesheng had already told her about the son's desire to marry the eldest lady of the Guo family, and asked her to come up with an idea for herself.
I am a girl, I just need to serve my son well, and it is my honor to serve my son in front of his bed. She has no dislike for the surname of her son, after all, now the rich and noble people are all three wives and four concubines, and those people with status and status in Jiaxing City, which one is not a group of wives and concubines? There are fewer wives and concubines, but it is looked down upon, and it is said that the ability is not enough.
is the honest and honest Sun Ziming, and the number of wives and concubines far exceeds that of his master, his own son-in-law.
In recent years, Mrs. has been depressed because she can't make a difference, although Gongzi comforted and explained, saying that it was not her fault, but his own reasons, as a cultivator, he didn't want to have offspring, and he was worried too much, which hindered the Daoji.
But Mrs. always has regrets in her heart, there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, and she can't have children, which has constituted a clause for divorce of his wife.
So she began to take concubines for her son, and her son did not refuse, and looked at some women, but said that those vulgar fans were unsightly and hindered his eyes, so they did not accept.
After making trouble for a while, Mrs. forgot about this ballast and dragged it on until now.
Now, if his son-in-law wants to marry a wife, not a concubine, I don't know if his wife can agree, alas, it's really worrying!
Xiao Yu sighed, shook his head, and stopped thinking about these troubles, his son can do anything, he will naturally solve it, he only needs to follow behind.
Once a woman's cultivation is successful, the door of the Xuanqi will be closed and she will not be able to have children. But it's not that Xiao Yuesheng can't make Yan Ping give birth, it's just that he really doesn't want to have any offspring.
For his wives and concubines, he has the ability to improve their Taoism through the method of yin and yang, and for others, it is okay to improve his skills, but if he wants to forcibly improve the Taoist level, he has no way.
If there are offspring, it is impossible for him or her to cultivate to the realm of immortality, then, one day, the black-haired person will send the white-haired person, he has witnessed the blow suffered by his parents due to his own death, the pain of destroying the surname, he thinks that he can't bear it, rather than this, it is better to have no offspring, no worries, and live a free life with his wives, wouldn't it be a pleasure!
But there are some things in the world that cannot be explained with the mouth.
told Yan Ping his thoughts as they were, but just hid the fact that he was a modern person, and turned the era into this era.
Although Wan Yanping believed his words, the knots in her heart still couldn't be completely removed.
It is a sin for a woman not to be able to have children, which is a concept formed by nearly a thousand years of culture, and people cannot eliminate the influence of their environment.
Xiao Yuesheng doesn't want children now, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want children in the future, people's thoughts will change with the passage of time, what if he wants children one day?
Xiao Yuesheng can't do anything about it, not everything in the world can be solved cleanly, these problems will be left to time, anyway, I have too much time to use up......
In my mind, time flies much faster than usual.
Finally returned to Mission Hills.
After five days of non-stop horseback riding, they finally returned to Mission Hills.
