Chapter 1, verse 26, shame on flattery 121
Shame on the face
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Ren Tianqi left six good personal soldiers and left his wife and returned to Guangling.
Staying at the inn overnight, and meeting the three masters and servants of Dongfang Bai dressed as men, Ren Tianqi was restless, Gong Ming was even more surprised, but Dongfang Bai laughed and talked freely.
The arrival of the Oriental White master and servant added to the embarrassment in the room.
Gong Ming knew that the three people in front of him were all dressed as men, and he also understood what was going on with the flute in the middle of the night in the inn, although he didn't feel any surprise about this, but he also had a slight hint of remarks about Ye Ren Tianqi in his heart, and he felt that since he returned to Guangling, especially after sitting on the south bank of the Huai River, he had a bad habit of enjoying and indulging in beauty, and he had lost the restraint and reserve when he was wandering, and he also had a few more arrogance and indulgenceγ Gong Ming was quite unhappy with his second aunt He Zhixia, and felt sorry for the county lord and Dongxue.
Ren Tianqi thought that he had already taken the first step, and he couldn't help himself, and he couldn't take everything back, but what was going on with this, and how to explain it to Gong Ming, he couldn't open his mouth, and glanced at Gong Ming with a flickering eye.
Dongfang Bai saw that Ren Tianqi was willing to be alone with him, he was very happy, and he looked forward to seeing Ren Tianqi every day, so he followed all the way; looking at Ren Tianqi and He Zhixia's affection and love, he said in his heart how lost and how wronged; now he saw that Ren Tianqi left He Zhixia's overnight inn, and the weight of his thoughts was irrepressible, and he couldn't care about the girl's unique reserve and shyness, and boldly took Xiaoyun's two daughters to the door. Dongfang Bai knew that there were many people around Ren Tianqi, so he had already thought of a way to deal with it, but because of the girl's unique reserve, he was still embarrassed to speak, so he sat there and looked at Ren Tianqi, Gong Ming and the others.
The crowd sat silent.
Dongfang Bai smiled: "Brother Ren is busy rushing back to Renjiabao, don't you want to stay in Suzhou for two more days?" A pair of big eyes stared at Ren Tianqi.
Ren Tianqi looked up at the junior next to him, turned around and smiled slightly, and said, "It's been a long time, everything is over, it's time to go back." β
Dongfang Bai said with a smile: "There is a good place to go in Suzhou, called Ethereal Peak, I don't know if Ren Ye has been there?" Dongfang Bai naturally said this to Gong Ming.
When Ren Tianqi heard the words "Ethereal Peak", he thought of Murong Yan's gentleness, the beautiful landscape of Ethereal Peak, the good times with He Zhixia's mother and daughter at Ethereal Peak, and of course, the handsome appearance of Oriental Baijiu, and a trace of sweetness in his heart. Ren Tianqi glanced up at Dongfang Bai, only a little blame.
Dongfang Bai Zidang didn't see it and smiled: "I haven't been there yet, right? This ethereal peak is not only beautiful mountains and rivers, but it is unique in the world; there is also a master living on this ethereal peak, and there is a girl who is as beautiful as a fairy; I also heard that there is a secret cave on this ethereal peak, which is the cultivation place of the ancestors of Gusu Murong Villa before he founded Murong Villa, and the cave contains the secret books of martial arts of all sects and factions in the world hundreds of years ago. Dongfang Bai is alluding to the happy time of the two on the Ethereal Peak.
I really don't know if Dongfang Bai has forgotten the embarrassment, or consciously pretending to be confused.
How could Ren Tianqi not know what it meant, and he was already excited. The source of martial arts in Murong Villa, what a temptation it is, although he went to find out twice, but he didn't make much progress, but he was afraid that others would see through his heart, and he still wanted to take a look at his eldest sister Murong Yan, but he didn't want to be more entangled with Dongfang Bai, so as not to extricate himself, so he glanced at Xiao San in a panic.
Gong Ming knew the instigation of Dongfang Bai, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was in Dongfang Bai's gourd, and he didn't know how his grandfather would respond, so he was nervous and looked at Ren Tianqi.
Dongfang Bai smiled and said, "Ren Ye is not interested in this at all?
Ren Tianqi was noncommittal, not knowing how to answer, after all, his selfishness was still ashamed to show.
Gong Ming knew that it was impossible for him to stop his master from going, he wanted to follow, of course, he didn't want to be inserted in the middle, but he didn't go, and it was his duty to protect the safety of his master, and he glanced at the sleepy Tianbao on the side, and had an idea, and said with a smile: "The little one is unwell, and his skills are too bad, so he won't go to the small one, so let the master go with him." β
Ren Tianqi was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was still as calm as water, and he didn't make a sound. Meditation is like an old monk in meditation.
Dongfang Bai understood Xiao San's thoughts, got up and said with a smile: "Master Ren, then it's decided, let's take a boat tomorrow, okay?"
Ren Tianqi raised his head and glanced at Gong Ming again, but he still didn't say anything, and his heart was happy.
Dongfang Bai smiled and bowed.
When Dongfang Bai's master and servant were far away, Gong Ming closed the door, sat down in front of the master, smiled, and said with a smile: "Master, it's time to say it now, right?
Ren Tianqi glanced up at Xiao San and said, "Really?"
Ren Tianqi knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden, so it was better to confess it as soon as possible.
Gong Ming nodded and said, "Really." β
Ren Tianqi sighed, got up and poured a bowl of tea for each of them, glanced at Tianbao who was asleep next to him, and said, "This is the master's little secret, you have to tighten your mouth." Lord, I really can't resist this oriental girl, so I met with her privately, but I didn't take it seriously, but my aunt called it away, you see how this is good. Isn't this a dilemma?"
Gong Ming's eyes widened and said, "Won't everything have been done?"
Ren Tianqi glared at Gong Ming and said, "Don't you look at what time it is, you still have the heart to attract bees and butterflies!"
Gong Ming smiled, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Then the master really never planned to marry the sixth wife or anything?"
Ren Tianqi shook his head with a solemn face, and said: "The Oriental girl is elusive, I don't know what the origin is, but I'm afraid it's a matter of life!"
Gong Ming said with a smile: "Since that's the case, it's not easy to do, let's just say that we will go on the road early, regardless of whether she has an appointment or not." β
Ren Tianqi shook his head and said, "What about the martial arts secret book of Murong Villa?, master, I have been there twice before and after without any big gains, and I am unwilling!"
Gong Ming said with a smile: "Ye really believes in that Oriental girl! Even if what he said is true, there are so many holes in a mountain, how can one or two people be able to find them in one or two days? Besides, there will be no mechanism in his Murong Villa, that is the origin of people's martial arts, and it is a forbidden place for martial arts! If he can know the Oriental girl, the people of the world can know it." What's more, there is such a master of the rivers and lakes above, who knows whether he is good or good, don't ask for trouble!"
Ren Tianqi nodded.
Gong Ming said: "Then rest early, and go on the road early tomorrow?"
Ren Tianqi nodded.
Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, everyone retired from the guest room, got on the horse silently, came to the Jiangkou wharf, and hurriedly hired a big boat to sail to the north of the river. Ren Tianqi stood at the stern of the boat and looked at the shore, with a thousand thoughts in his mind, sighed, and returned to the cabin gloomily. It was already morning on the clubhead. Everyone was sitting in the cabin. Suddenly, I heard the boss of the boat outside shouting, "Hey, hey, son, what are you doing on my boat?"
I heard a person laugh and said: "This is fifty taels of silver, and my friends are on the boat of the boat's house, and the three of us are just taking a boat by the way, so let's help." β
The boatman was embarrassed: "This master, the little old man doesn't dare to be the master, my boat is going to the opposite side of Guangling Jiuwei, wait for me to ask these masters!"
One of them smiled and said: "No need, look at the boat that sent us has also turned back, now you don't bring it and you can't do it, it's better to ask by yourself." β
Xiao San was about to get up and go out to take a look.
The curtain was lifted, and three people entered. It turned out to be three Dongfang Bai master and servant.
Everyone in the cabin was ashamed of themselves.
The boatman also followed up and said no, smiling and saying no.
Gong Ming waved his hand to the shipowner to go out, and hurriedly invited the master and servant of Dongfang Bai to sit down.
Dongfang Bai sat opposite Ren Tianqi, with tears in his eyes, and looked at Ren Tianqi without saying a word.
Ren Tianqi glanced at Dongfang Bai embarrassedly, then turned his head to look at the juniors, smiled faintly, and said: "Guangling has a lot of things, and I can't delay, so I was busy going back, and I forgot to tell you." β
Dongfang Bai pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will eat you, are you afraid that I will lie to you, or are you afraid that I will ruin your calculations? I didn't embarrass you when I went to the Ethereal Peak in the middle of the night!"
The junior and the others were stunned again, when did our grandfather go to the Ethereal Peak?
Ren Tianqi was shocked, there was no slightest grievance and accident in his heart, but there was more of a layer of love for Dongfang Bai, a kind of deep friendship has been born, he smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I'm not right this time, I'll make up for it next time, how about it?"
Ren Tianqi smiled and took out the yellow piccolo from his arms.
Dongfang Bai smiled tearfully and nodded.
Ren Tianqi played from the horizontal flute.
Everyone accompanied each other all the way to cross the river,
Ren Tianqi and the others returned to Renjiabao, and Dongfang Bai and the three went to Yangzhou by themselves.
