- Chapter 117 King Rong
"Oh, it's so good to be young!" Guo Fu, who was nestling in her husband's arms and being half-hugged by him, suddenly heard her husband's sigh. She couldn't help but raise her red face, looked at her husband, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother, this is He talks as if he is an old man! He is so old-fashioned!"
"My husband is an immortal man, but his heart is old!" Xiao Yuesheng was quite emotional, but he just pecked Guo Fu's rosy cheek, suddenly making his words unconvincing.
"Giggles, then you are an old man! That scolding scholar just now is absolutely right!" Guo Fu looked around, blushing and giggling. She was quite skilled, and she could faintly hear the group of scholars. The first few words he said, but as we walked further and further away, I couldn¡¯t hear them clearly.
As Guo Fu has been married for a long time, she has come to know the way couples get along with each other in Guanlan Villa. They are not respectful to each other like other families, but they are not shy about talking and laughing. Her husband is usually easy-going and friendly, likes to joke, and is not the head of the family. It's just that the more it looks like this, the more respect and admiration they have in their hearts.
At the lunch table, Guo Xiang's face was rather cold, but his eyes did not look at his brother-in-law. The glances he occasionally glanced at were instantaneous, with disdain and deliberate indifference.
Guo Fu, who was sitting next to her, frowned secretly and had a headache. She didn't know what this weird sister was thinking.
"Young Master, someone from the Zhangzhang Sect of Longhu Mountain sent a message saying that the ceremony will be held on the second day of the second lunar month, and I invite you to come and watch the ceremony!" Xiaoyu sat next to Wanyan Ping, holding a piece of green ring cake in her little hand. The other hand holds an ivory chopstick to hold vegetables.
"Yes." Xiao Yuesheng held the jade cup with one hand and shook it slightly in front of him. His eyes were staring at the jade liquid rippling in the cup, enjoying the strong aroma of wine in his nose.
Although Guo Xiang, who was sitting next to Guo Fu on the other side, had a cold face, his small and straight nose twitched from time to time, salivating at the mellow aroma of wine surrounding him.
On weekdays in Xiangyang City, she often went out to drink with her younger brother. Unfortunately, her drinking talent was not good. Even though she drank a lot and loved the smell of wine, her drinking capacity was much inferior to that of her eldest sister. Although Guo Fu rarely drank, her drinking capacity was still poor. He is very powerful and inherited from his father Guo Jing.
"Young master, are you going this year?" Xiaofeng wiped the corners of her mouth with a moon-white silk scarf, her manners were elegant and quiet, which made Guo Xiang on the side look envious, and she could never imitate such a temperament.
"Let's talk about it later!" Xiao Yuesheng replied lazily, taking a sip of the wine from the jade cup, showing a hint of intoxication, which made Guo Xiang, who was watching coldly, even more excited.
"Brother, let's go, let's just have fun!" Wanyanping picked up the white jade jug, stood up, poured wine for him, and persuaded him softly.
"Last time when Mr. Guanmiao came to the villa to give lectures, my eldest brother went out to play. He complained a lot and said, 'You have too many things to do, so you don't have time to take care of Longhu Mountain.' I am so good at persuading you." After giving him three jars of Biwu wine, he finally gave up. If I don't go this year, when Mr. Guanmiao comes to give lectures in March, don't hide anymore!"
The wine pours from the pot into the cup, and the sound of the cong cong is like the sound of a clear spring flowing, which is consistent with Wanyanping's smiling voice. The aroma of the wine is also integrated with the aroma of the food on the table.
Mr. Guanmiao is the honorific title given to the contemporary headmaster Zhang of Longhu Mountain by the Supreme Being. He is profound in humanism and profound in Taoism.
In order to read Taoist scriptures, Xiao Yuesheng traveled all over Fulu Mountain. Zhengyi Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Maoshan, and Yuanshige Zaoshan did not escape his clutches. All the Taoist scriptures were imprinted in his mind, and he was in harmony with the three sects. The headmaster also met friends through Taoism, and they had great friendships. All three of them came to Guanlan Villa once a year to give lectures and teachings to the disciples of the Villa.
Conferring an urn is very important to a Taoist priest. It is the first step to enter the right door. Those who obtain the urn are as if they have been recognized by the heavenly palace, just like an ID card in modern society. Only when the Taoist priest is awarded the urn, can they perform the ritual ceremony. Only by entrusting its chapters and poems to the heaven can we drive away ghosts and serve the gods. Those who have not been entrusted with the scriptures will have difficulty in reaching the heaven and their efforts will be in vain.
Xiao Yuesheng had participated in two ceremonies for the opening of the Longhu Mountain altar and the conferring of urns. He had only seen it once. There was no sense of novelty anymore, so he did not want to go again. However, Mr. Guanmiao was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he was very similar to Xiao Yuesheng. He was forcefully invited to participate, making him unable to avoid it.
"Haha, the ceremony for opening the altar and conferring nuns was really boring. Most of them were male Taoist priests, wearing the same Taoist uniforms. It was very boring!" Xiao Yuesheng complained in his mouth while sipping his wine.
"Hehe, the young master revealed a secret with his words, but it turned out that he thought there were too many roads, not enough for the eyes, and he was not afraid of Xiang'er's ridicule!" Xiaoyu gently wiped the corner of her mouth with her slender green fingers, wiped away the crumbs of the cake, and gave it to the young master. He rolled his eyes charmingly and smiled softly at the cold-faced Guo Xiang.
She also noticed that Xiang'er behaved differently towards the young master, as if he was angry, so she tried to reconcile.
Guo Xiang also smiled sweetly at Sister Xiaoyu, but when she glanced at her brother-in-law, sheHe suppressed his smile and put on a disdainful look.
Xiao Yuesheng chuckled and didn't care. The youngest daughter's house was full of changeable moods and temper tantrums, and they would all disappear after a while. Hehe I was afraid that if I heard the sound of him and Fu'er being affectionate outside the window in the morning, He must be feeling ashamed and angry He chuckled at Guo Fu, who had trouble in her brows, and indicated with his eyes that she didn't need to worry.
"Master, I heard that you and the Murong family paid one hundred thousand taels of silver?!" Xiaoyue's eyes were bent into crescent shapes, she wiped her upturned mouth with silk, and her other little hand caressed her belly under the table. While everyone was talking, they were concentrating on the delicious food, and they were already full.
"Well, by the way." Xiao Yuesheng put down his wine glass and started eating, answering Xiaoyue's words in an understatement.
"Pfft!" Guo Xiang hurriedly picked up the jade bowl and caught the soup spurting from her mouth. She had just taken a sip of the Eight Fresh Soup.
"What's the matter, Xiang'er?!" Guo Fu asked hurriedly, caressing her sister's back with her jade hand, patted her gently, and asked with concern: "Did you choke on the soup?"
Xiao Yuesheng hurriedly lowered his head to prevent his snickering face from being seen by Fu'er. He was so concerned that he was confused. He didn't realize that his sister was frightened by the hundred thousand taels.
¡°Sister¡ª¡ª, I¡¯m fine!¡± Guo Xiang¡¯s beautiful face turned red, and she hurriedly pushed away her eldest sister¡¯s hand, feeling very embarrassed.
"Be careful and drink slowly!" Guo Fu put down her hand, complaining with concern.
Guo Xiang rested her chin on her tall chest and nodded randomly, her forehead flowing slightly, and her straight and delicate nose like a jade sculpture.
Guo Fu was so surprised that the other girls all thought that Guo Xiang had choked on the soup, and they all looked at Guo Xiang with concern, making her so embarrassed that she could not raise her head.
Seeing Xiao Guo Xiang blushing with embarrassment, everyone pretended to be as if nothing had happened. Xiao Yue leaned on the back of the chair and asked with a smile: "What are you going to do with the one hundred thousand taels? Enter the general account of the village." What?"
"What did Xiaoyue say?" Xiao Yuesheng put a spoonful of Baxian soup into his mouth, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiaoyue, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Hehe, Master, do you want to give it to Sister Xie?" Xiaoyue's crescent-like eyes shone with a sly smile.
Xiao Yuesheng¡¯s wives are all extremely well-behaved. Xiaoyue can see through the young master¡¯s thoughts at a glance.
"Ping'er, what do you think?" Xiao Yuesheng glared at her with a smile, then turned to ask Wanyan Ping, who was smiling slightly beside him.
"Well, let me let my elder brother make the decision. I wonder if one hundred thousand taels is enough?" Wanyan Ping didn't even think about it, and there was no trace of emotion on her charming face.
She did not attach much importance to money, which was related to her origin. Although she was a princess who had lost her country, her emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. When the Jin Kingdom was about to fall, several groups of loyal people took out and hid a large amount of gold and secret treasures. , for the purpose of restoring the country in the future, the owner of these treasures is Wanyan Ping.
Therefore, although she has been burdened by the hatred of her country and her family since she was a child, her life has been rich and fine, and she has no worries about food and clothing. She never pays attention to money and other external things.
"One hundred thousand taels is more than enough to rebuild a Lingjiu Palace. Madam, don't worry. If it's not enough, just let the young master go and rip off other people!" Xiaofeng said unforgivingly and glanced sideways at the young master.
Guo Xiang, who lowered his head, thought to himself, it was really hard to imagine how much one hundred thousand taels of silver was, but they talked about it like ten taels of silver. Alas, they were really mistaking the money for money! If I told my father and mother, I'm afraid they would be shocked too! If you give it to your mother, I'm afraid those brothers in the beggar gang won't have to go begging.
"Haha, Xiaofeng has wronged me. I can only collect some compensation for Xiaolan. I can't give him the antidote for nothing. Otherwise, wouldn't it look like a coward?!" Xiao Yuesheng took the silk scarf handed over by Wanyanping. , wiping his lips and smiling at Xiaofeng.
"Young master, I heard from Sister Fu that Murong Yu is very pretty!" Xiaofeng also wiped her white hands with a silk scarf, looking at him with soft eyes, carefully observing the changes in the expression on the young master's face.
"Oh, it's indeed good, but compared to you, Xiaofeng, it's still far behind!" Xiao Yuesheng remained calm, pretending not to know what she was saying, and giving him the drug of praise.
However, Xiaofeng was quite resistant. She pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Huh, I'm afraid someone is trying to gain both people and wealth!"
"Okay, what a great idea, the Murong family can make braised pork!" Xiaoyue clapped her hands carelessly, a little excited, her crescent-like eyes sparkling as if she were seeing a golden mountain.
Except for Xiaoyue, the other girls looked at him with meaningful eyes, even Guo Xiang was no exception.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuesheng was so thick-skinned that he turned a blind eye to the looks of the girls. After wiping his mouth, he wiped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm full! Xiaofeng's craftsmanship is still so superb! Well, I'll go.Let's take a look at Lin'an. The second brother and his wife are in the mansion in Taipingfang! Fu'er, do you want to come with me? "
"Don't go. Today I have to tidy up the back garden with Sister Ping." Guo Fu hesitated for a moment, but still held back her strong desire.
"Okay, don't tire yourself out!" Xiao Yuesheng smiled, not forcing it, but he quite liked her approach. As a couple, the future is long, and if the sex is restrained a little, the pleasure will be stronger, so he turned to ask Wanyan Ping: "The osmanthus tree in front of Shuanglin Temple is nice. Madam, do you want it? Why would you secretly pull it out?"
"Brother¡ª¡ª!" Wanyanping glared at him angrily, fearing that he would do something wrong. In front of Shuanglin Temple, there were two towering ancient osmanthus trees that were hundreds of years old. They covered the sky and the sun. They were extremely rare. Half of them were in Shuanglin Temple. The name comes from these two ancient osmanthus trees. Ever since he went there once, he has been thinking about those two old trees and always wanted to move them to a place and sneak them back to the villa.
"Okay, okay, just put them there first! When I go to Lin'an this time, my husband will definitely go to visit Zhang Lanzhi and ask him to come to our villa to give lectures and teach my wife the art of picking flowers and stacking stones!" Xiao Yuesheng said with a busy smile. , handed the silk scarf after wiping her hands to Wanyanping, and stood up.
"That's great! The ladies in the city highly respect him, but this Zhang Lanzhi is withdrawn and arrogant, and no one can invite him. It depends on the elder brother's ability?!" Xiaoyu stood up and walked to him Beside him, someone gently straightened his clothes, then pursed his lips and smiled softly: "Master, don't look away and say hello to Sister Xie for us!"
She felt quite guilty when she saw that the young master never mentioned Sister Xie's name. She saw that her brother-in-law and his wife were fake and that he was accompanying Sister Xie for real, so she couldn't bear to take away his pretense.
"Got it!" Xiao Yuesheng responded angrily, and then uttered two words in a muffled voice: "Let's go!" Then he suddenly disappeared on the spot.
His extremely angry look made all the girls giggle, and the hall was filled with crisp silver bells, which was extremely pleasant to the ears.
"Sister Xiaoyu, you hit the nail on the head!" Xiaofeng gasped, smiling with her cheeks flushed, and she was full of praise.
Xiaoyu smiled quite reservedly. He knew that the young master's heart was like the floating clouds in the sky. No matter how his temper was, he was afraid that more and more people would marry into the Xiao family in the future, and even one dining table would not be able to accommodate it. , that would not be very good.
Xiao Yuesheng appeared in front of the palace hall. As soon as he appeared, he could hear the intermittent sound of the piano, the sound was calm, and he could hear that the player was careless, but calm and relaxed.
The figure of Xie Xiaolan suddenly appeared in his mind. She was outside his bedroom, sitting in front of the bookcase in front of the Xuan window. She was pressing the Yaoqin with one hand and holding a volume of books in the other hand. She was fiddled with it from time to time. The strings seemed to be unintentional.
Xiao Yuesheng suddenly appeared in the bedroom.
In the bright sunshine coming in through the window, Xie Xiaolan was not wearing a fur robe, only a lavender shirt, which reflected her delicate face as white as snow, delicate and moving, her temples like clouds, and her skin like snow.
Outside the half-open window, there are several plum branches swaying gently, and the fragrance of plum blossoms is introduced into the house. By the way, a few strands of green hair on her temples are blown. Xie Xiaolan sits in front of the case, demure and elegant.
"The plum-breaking hand of Tianshan? Haha, you are looking at it very seriously!" Xiao Yuesheng glanced at the book in her hand. Although it was held behind her and the cover could not be seen, it could not block his gaze.
??
"It's me!" Xiao Yuesheng drank hurriedly.
"Hey¡ª¡ª!It's so scary!" Only then did Xie Xiaolan see the person behind her clearly. She put down her palms, picked up the book thrown on the table, and patted her tall chest with her other hand, complaining a little. He glanced.
Xiao Yuesheng smiled and did not refute, but felt slightly sad in his heart. Seeing that she was like a frightened bird just now, it must have become a habit. He may have been extremely vigilant and cautious in his heart, like a tight string, ready to attack at any time.
"Brother is back very early!" Xie Xiaolan saw that he just smiled and his eyes were soft, and she couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart, so she started to use her words to make her petty.
"Well, it's okay. Have you had breakfast?" Xiao Yuesheng pretended not to understand the irony in her words, took the piece of embroidered brocade and sat down next to Xie Xiaolan.
The faint fragrance of plum blossoms mixed with the faint fragrance of her body gave him a sense of tranquility and relaxed his spirit. Looking at her face up close, a faint blush seemed to flow from the inside out, making her snow-white face look even more To be tempting.
"" Xie Xiaolan glanced at him with starry eyes and said nothing, as if she was disdainful in answering.
"Haha, what about lunch?" Xiao Yuesheng grabbed the book from her hand.
Every piece of yellowed old paper is filled with simple wordsThere is a portrait of a person in a certain posture, with red and green lines following each other, and a few lines of delicate small seal annotations next to it.
"I wanted to wait for my eldest brother to come back together, but your old housekeeper said that you will definitely not come back for lunch at this time. He told me not to wait any longer. No, we just finished eating!" Xie Xiaolan let it go! He took away his precious secret book, lightly plucked the black hair falling from his temples, and said softly.
She knew that this man¡¯s temper was not as gentle as his smile. She could not push her too hard or make him unhappy, and she could not act recklessly with his petty temper.
Xiao Yuesheng flipped through the Tianshan Plum Blossom Tips at random, but Xie Xiaolan snatched it back. Seeing him not cherishing it so much, she felt very distressed. According to his rude way of flipping through the book, this year The old secret book is old and brittle, and if you are not careful, it may be destroyed in his hands.
"Haha, the Tianshan plum-folding hand is quite exquisite!" Xiao Yuesheng smiled. I don't know who created this Tianshan plum-folding hand. It does have its subtleties. No wonder the Piaomiao Peak Lingjiu Palace was so popular for a while.
Xie Xiaolan carefully put the secret book into her arms. When she heard Xiao Yuesheng's words of praise, she couldn't help but curl up her lips. Suddenly her face changed and she exclaimed softly: "Oh, that's right! The old boy said that when you come back, you should go find him immediately. It seems that What's the matter?"
"Oh?Where are the second brother and the others?" Xiao Yuesheng nodded, but sat still and asked about Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu.
"Oh, they went out in the morning, saying they were going to visit friends outside the city and would come back in the evening." Xie Xiaolan lightly plucked the strings of the piano, which were as white as silver.
"These two guys don't know how to spend time with my sister-in-law, they only care about their own happiness!" He snorted and complained about Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu.
"Giggledon't blame them. It's because I like to be quiet. I don't let them accompany me. I sit here alone, playing the piano and reading a book. It's leisurely and peaceful. How nice is it?!"
She smiled very softly and peacefully. The sunlight filtered in through the window and shone on her snow-white face, which seemed to reflect light, like clouds on her temples with a faint halo, showing a bit of holiness.
"Old boy!" Xiao Yuesheng smiled, as if to greet the people outside the door, his voice was low, and then turned his head: "Old boy is here, Xiaolan doesn't have to worry about anyone approaching."
"Young Master! This old slave is here!" As soon as Xiao Yuesheng finished speaking, the soft voice of the old boy came from outside the door.
"Come in." Xiao Yuesheng raised his hand, and the door suddenly opened.
"Yes!" Old Tong's fat body stepped in lightly, walked up to them, and bowed to Xiao Yuesheng.
"What are you doing with so many courtesy!Tell me, what's going on? Why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Xiao Yuesheng moved the Yaoqin in front of Xie Xiaolan to himself and asked with his back turned.
"Sir, it's Prince Rong who is looking for you urgently! He has sent people here several times this morning! It seems to be quite urgent!" The old boy bowed and replied respectfully. His voice was soft and round, like a man and a woman, but also Neither male nor female, it has a unique charm and is extremely pleasant to the ear.
"Oh?Is it urgent? Yeah! Got it! Just say I haven't come back yet! Let's talk about it in the evening!" Xiao Yuesheng pressed the strings, thought about it, made a decision, and started to tune the strings.
"Yes!Old slave, please retire!" Lao Tong didn't pause at all, simply agreed, and resigned without hesitation.
"Oh, by the way, go to Prince Rong's Mansion to get some delicious food for Mrs. Lan to try!" The clanking sound of the piano played to accompany his words.
"Yes!" The old boy retreated. As he left, the door slowly closed automatically without wind, but it was the old boy's fault.
Although Xiao Yuesheng was tuning the piano in front of the window, Xie Xiaolan twisted her delicate body to observe the old boy. After careful observation, she realized that what her husband just said was true.
This old boy¡¯s skill is truly unfathomable, far superior to his own, and his inner breath is strange and unpredictable, but he has reached a state of wonder and righteousness. His voice is peaceful and very comfortable to listen to.
"Brother, do you know Prince Rong?" Seeing the door being closed by the old boy Lingxu, Xie Xiaolan turned to look at her husband, blinking her starry eyes with deep curiosity.
"Yeah." Xiao Yuesheng closed his eyes lightly and stroked his fingers slowly. The sound of the piano was clear and gentle, like the bright sunshine outside the window.
"Brother¡ª¡ª!" Zhang Qingyun didn't care to appreciate the music of the piano, and tugged on the corner of his sleeve with his little hand, with a somewhat coquettish tone.
"At that time, my husband lived in the house next to the West Lake. I always fished by the West Lake. Unexpectedly, I met an old man who was also good at fishing and accidentally saved his life. Who would have thought that It's Prince Rong! In order to repay the favor of saving his life, he gave this mansion to his husband!" Xiao Yuesheng spoke eloquently to the accompaniment of the clear sound of the Yao Qin.
Xie Xiaolan looked at him again and again, as if she didn't believe it.
"Brother, he is a prince, how could heGoing fishing alone on the edge of the West Lake? "She asked with her starry eyes wide open, looking deeply at her husband.
"Haha, haven't you heard that generals are born without seeds? This Prince Rong is Jinshang's biological brother. The two of them are from the lineage of Yan Wang Defang, which has declined. Since they were young, their families were not well-off. Later, Jinshang became quite miraculous. After sitting on the throne, Prince Rong will be honored by this emperor. After a long time, he may miss his childhood days!" Although his words were speculative, they were the words from Prince Rong's heart.
When people grow old, it is easy to miss the past. King Rong could not forget the scene when the two brothers went to the river to catch fish when he was a child. As he got older, he couldn't bear to catch fish, so he went fishing instead of catching fish.
"Then since he has something urgent, brother, why don't you go and have a look quickly?"
"Haha No hurry, no hurry" Xiao Yuesheng closed his eyes, plucked his fingers faster, and the sound of the piano became very urgent. In his mind, Prince Rong's Mansion was already in his mind.
Xie Xiaolan knew that her husband was acting like this, but she didn¡¯t want to say any more. Although she was still full of questions, she could only shut up sadly, picked up a geography book from the case, listened to the sound of the piano, and slowly read through it. - Didn't finish reading?
