Lingxiao Villa.
After leaving Shuzhou City, the journey back to Lingxiao Villa seemed to be shortened. Just like a wandering wanderer finally returning home, the faces of several fellow apprentices showed expressions of joy and relaxation.
After passing another hilltop, the gate of Lingxiao Villa is in front of you.
"It's coming, it's coming! I can breathe the air of the villa!" Mr. Zhao looked very happy.
Another fellow also stretched his arms and sighed: "It feels like a long time has passed."
"Isn't it? It was still early when I left, and it was already the end of June when I came back. Correct update@"
The atmosphere also relaxed a lot, and a few people just chatted and arrived at the gate. Wei Ke opened the curtain and took a look. This was the first time he lurked into Lingxiao Villa in a big way.
Although she had changed her appearance, her light brown eyes could not be changed. There was a sharp light in Kui Ke's eyes, which looked full of fighting spirit. No matter what was inside, he could do it with just one sentence!
As one of the four major sects in Jianghu, Lingxiao Villa was naturally very particular about its location selection.
I saw that the beautiful mountains and rivers here are full of aura, and the gate is also very grand. The four words "Lingxiao Villa" seem to be carved in the stone, but they also seem to be man-made. I don't know who's writing power is so powerful, and it looks majestic.
The disciples at the gate saw a familiar bicycle frame. Xu Pei showed his face and let them in after checking their identities. Xu Pei and the other disciples lived in different places. He lived in the inner courtyard and ordinary disciples lived in the outer courtyard.
Brother Zhao stopped his horse and walked to Xu Pei's carriage to wait for his opinion. Xu Pei said through the curtain, "You go back first. I will go and report back to my foster father."
"Yes, thank you, senior brother." Senior Brother Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. The village owner rarely appeared in front of them. Although the village owner seemed kind, he felt extremely stressed every time he saw the village owner.
Moreover, their trip was not smooth, including the secret room incident where they only got one secret book, and on the return trip, accidents occurred frequently and Xu Pei was injured. If the owner of the village blamed them, they would definitely be punished.
Of course, they also have their own masters. They don't have to face the owner of the village, but they have to face the master. After all, they still have to face the pain of flesh and blood.
You can't ride horses after entering the courtyard. There is naturally a place to raise horses in Lingxiao Villa. They led the horses to the horse farm, and the young disciples at the horse farm came forward to hold the horse's reins and carriage.
Lingxiao Villa is worthy of being a sect. Even the stables are more luxurious and cleaner than those of other sects. Each horse has its own separate room and eats the best fodder. No wonder the horses' hair is shiny.
Lin Shi turned around and glanced at Xu Pei. He was different from others. After that incident, he felt as if a big stone was weighing on his heart. The closer he got to Lingxiao Villa, the heavier his mood became.
Looking at the familiar Zhuangmen was like seeing a reminder. His vision went black and white, and he felt like his brain was swollen.
Seeing that he looked bad, the senior brothers thought they were afraid of being punished by the master, so they laughed at him and told him to practice hard, so that he could make the most of his good luck next time such a good thing happens to him.
Lin Shi listened to these two sentences and nodded. He must improve his cultivation. After all, the more capital he can save his life, the more he can.
Lingxiao Villa is very large. There are probably hundreds of disciples inside and outside. I have not counted the exact number. Ban Meng drove the carriage through two more gates and entered the inner courtyard. Mu Ruojiao must have received Xu Pei's gift a long time ago. The news of his return was already waiting in Xu Pei's yard.
In the garden, you can see lush green trees and clean flowers. From the depths of the flowers and trees emerging from under the stone cracks, there are exquisite pavilions and pavilions, quiet and beautiful pools and water corridors, and the pavilions and pavilions are dotted with vitality. There are green bamboos and strange-shaped stones. Those strange stones are stacked together, abrupt and majestic.
Mu Ruojiao received the news early in the morning. She knew that she could neither sit nor stand from now on, so she went directly to Xu Pei's place to wait. He would always go back to his yard!
She just needs to wait and see!
Xu Pei naturally couldn't let Mu Ruojiao see Ruan Xianbei. He was helped out of the car by Ban Meng and whispered to the guards who came to pick him up. The guards were originally there to help him, but after hearing his order, they took it in a muffled voice. The carriage left.
"Brother Ah Pei! You are finally back!" Mu Ruojiao beat her carefully since morning.
Xu Pei was already a little irritable by the afternoon. She asked her maid countless times why Xu Pei hadn't come back yet, where he was and whether she wanted to pick him up.
The maid persuaded the little ancestor for a long time before coaxing him down. When Mu Ruojiao saw the expression on Xu Pei's face suddenly changed from gloomy to clear, she flew towards him like a beautiful bird.
As soon as Mu Ruojiao came over, Xu Pei gave Banmeng a look. Banmeng let go of his hand and took a step back knowingly. The eldest lady's jealousy knows no bounds.
"I kept you waiting for a long time, Miss." Xu Pei said with a smile. At this time, he was fully dressed and looked completely different from the one who needed help when he got off the car. Most people could not tell that he was injured.
One look at Mu Ruojiao's look and he knew that she might have lost her temper just now. Her cheeks were red and there was even some sweat on her forehead.
Xu Pei dissatisfied and said to the maid next to her: "How can you let the eldest lady wait in the yard in such a hot weather? The eldest lady's makeup is all gone."
Look at Xu Pei's art of speaking. Girls are most afraid of being embarrassed in front of the person they like. When Mu Ruojiao heard that her carefully dressed makeup was all gone, she quickly covered her face and turned around.
"Really? Really?" Her tone changed, thinking that she would almost cry if she was still complacent with a big face.
"You're kidding, the eldest lady is so dazzling today." Xu Pei said with a chuckle. He knew Mu Ruojiao's temper very well, and he could make her happy with just one or two words. _o_m
Mu Ruojiao was really happy after hearing this. She came over and took Xu Pei's arm affectionately and said, "Brother A Pei will make fun of me when he goes to the Western Regions! Are there many beauties in the Western Regions? Let me hear about them?"
After she finished speaking, she asked tentatively: "Did brother Ah Pei bring it back to open my eyes?"
Xu Pei thought about Wei Ke, there really is one, I'm afraid you can't bear it.
But he could only say helplessly: "We went to do business, not to have fun. Why did we bring the girl back? The eldest lady is worrying too much."
Xu Pei was only called Miss Mu Ruojiao from the beginning. Mu Ruojiao was still young when he was adopted as his adopted son. She was even younger than Ruan Xianbei, and Mu Ruojiao has always been fond of this father's adopted son. There was also a lot of hostility at the beginning.
As for Xu Pei's name, she changed from hey, to so-and-so, so-and-so, to Xu Pei, brother Ah Pei. It is impossible to say that Xu Pei didn't do anything.
Xu Pei seems to be keeping a distance from Mu Ruojiao. Anyone would just think that the eldest lady is attracted to him, but they don't know that he has many verbal tensions in the process of getting along with Mu Ruojiao.
Just like just now, he could clearly talk well but insisted on teasing Mu Ruojiao with his appearance, and then praised her dazzling beauty to make her happy. There were countless things like this. Of course, a hothouse flower like Mu Ruojiao couldn't resist it. On the surface, she has always been polite to her, but in fact, she is very controlled. Miss Mu is now even going to the extent that she will not marry him.
When Xu Pei entered the house, the servants had already brought in the ice basin in advance. The ice basin was placed in the corner to let out the coolness, and the temperature in the room slowly dropped.
Mu Ruojiao knew that Xu Pei didn't like others to enter his yard and house casually, but there was a saying - arrogance based on favor.
It's just that she relies on Mu Huaxiao's favor, and arrogance is also a good thing.
She entered Xu Pei's yard but not his room, which invisibly brought them closer but seemed to respect you. At this time, you can't say that Mu Ruojiao's brain is not working well, she just seems to be in love. That’s all.
"Brother Ah Pei, the fruits you brought back from the Western Regions have been here for many days. Why are you guys coming back so slowly?"
"Something happened on the way. I was afraid that the fruit would be spoiled and you and the owner wouldn't be able to eat it, so I asked the fruit delivery person to come back first."
Mu Ruojiao was not interested in their mission at all. Xu Pei simply exposed her and never asked any more questions. This was one of the reasons why Xu Pei married her at the first thought.
"Is the Western Region really the same as the rumors say?"
"What do the people over there wear?"
"Does the woman's skirt look good? I heard it is very beautiful."
"Is it different from the rest of us?" Mu Ruojiao asked curiously, asking questions one after another.
Xu Pei answered one by one very patiently, for example, the wind and sand are very strong.
It's a big city, so you have to cover yourself up when traveling to avoid sunburn, but the locals in the Western Region are used to this kind of weather, and their skin is wheat-colored, a little darker than ours.
The clothes were also different. Women were more open-minded in their clothing, but he still felt it was better here.
Speaking of this, someone came outside and said, "Sir, the owner of the village wants to ask the eldest lady..." The man glanced at Mu Ruojiao and then said: "The owner of the village asked the eldest lady if she has gone back. If she has, please Come over there."
It was strange that Mu Ruojiao couldn't tell that her father was deliberately teasing her. She snorted and stood up and said, "Okay, okay, my dad is going to steal someone from me again. If that's the case, I'll go back first, ah Brother Pei, let’s have dinner together at dad’s place tonight!”
Xu Pei asked someone to send Mu Ruojiao away, and he also put away his expression and headed towards Fengdai Tower.
Before leaving, he asked again that no one was allowed to enter his yard or room while he was away.
...
Ruan Xianbei and Wei Ke were taken to the back of the yard by the guard and put down. Wei Ke carried Ruan Xianbei on his back and followed the stuffy gourd-like guard to one of the rooms. This guest room was not far or near from the main house, and Wei Ke happened to be there. Through the gap, I could see Mu Ruojiao following Xu Pei into the room.
The guard never said a word from beginning to end. When he got off the bus, he stopped his horse and knocked on the window. When he arrived, he extended his hand to invite you. The guard left after Wei Ke entered the room.
He kindly closed the door for them.
"It's very hot. We need to bring ice." The furnishings in the room were all clean. Wei Ke put Ruan Xianbei on the bed and said to the door.
She opened the window for ventilation, but after waiting for a long time, no one came, so she had to fan herself. The weather in June and July was as hot as a furnace no matter where it was, making people crazy.
Wei Ke was about to call someone again when she heard Mu Ruojiao's voice outside. She thought that maybe no one came over to prevent Mu Ruojiao from finding out. As expected, when the sound outside disappeared, she waited for a while and the guard just now came. Came here carrying ice.
"My name is Afu, what's your name?" Wei Ke asked.
"Black Dog. @" The guard did not remain silent this time, but replied politely with his name.
"Black Dog...Black Dog..." Wei Ke read his name twice and smiled at him, "Thank you very much."
Black Dog, on the other hand, said with a blank look on his face: "Young Master ordered me to call someone if I need anything."
Hei Quan didn't really seem to like talking. After saying these words, he left without looking back. Wei Ke raised his eyebrows and wondered if Xu Pei had transferred him over to 'take care of' them to guard against others. What about the possibility of people being tricked by her?
Xu Pei seems to be acting like a man this time. I hope he can keep his promise, otherwise——
Wei Ke sneered, at worst, both sides would suffer losses. .
