A few days later, Buddha's injury healed, and everything in Qingpingtang remained as usual.
The sunshine in the afternoon was a little sluggish, and with the clouds gathering, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm lake surface, leaves fell, and rain poured down.
Yan Zhen returned triumphantly and made great achievements. Emperor Rong wanted to promote his official position, but the title of general had reached the top. When he asked him what reward he wanted, he never expected that he would set his sights on the academy and ask for Mr. Zuiyuntang. One position. After hearing the news, Mr. Chen, who had taught at Zuiyuntang for many years, just shook his head, cursed "your grandma" and consciously packed up and returned to his hometown.
Today is an important moment for him to take office. To show their attention, everyone in the academy is waiting enthusiastically inside and outside the academy gate. From the inside to the outside, the elders, ministers, teachers, students, maids and servants are arranged according to rank, all the way to the woods. And since the sedan appeared in everyone's sight, it has been surrounded by people, and everyone has squeezed their heads to get up and have a look. Although most of the female students were blocked by the human wall, their enthusiasm remained undiminished. They raised their heads and looked out. They naively believed that as long as they were glanced at by General Yan, they might be remembered by him. That would be salty. The fish turns over and becomes a noble man!
It's a pity that Yan Zhen hasn't taken a serious look at them since he entered the main entrance of Qishan Academy. He leaned against the window crookedly, his face was rosy and his neck was soft, and his peach blossom eyes were half open and half closed. Everyone knew that he was sleepy. .
Su Yan stood behind the crowd and looked at Yan Zhen from a distance, then glanced around the students who were immersed in beauty, and couldn't help but lament: "It's because Rong Guo has so many vulgar people that he has become so vulgar!"
The nymphomaniac female students gathered around and chirped, vaguely sounding like they were saying:
"It will be a waste of time to see the true face of the great general in my lifetime!"
"Yes, looking at the entire Rong country, and even the entire world, who can compare with the general, whether it is his military record or appearance, he is first-class!"
The female student who spoke first quickly echoed: "It would be great if you could come to our Yuesheng Hall, so that I can see the general every day."
"The general is the god of war in the hearts of the people and the most powerful person in the country. With your appearance, you'd better not have any wishful thinking."
"How good-looking you think you are, you don't have one nose and two eyes!"
"What did you say?!"
"What's there to argue about?" The female student who had been watching the two of them arguing stopped her. "The general didn't come here just for you. I heard he came to the academy because of a girl."
"Who is that for?"
"How do I know? I heard that he is from the academy, but I don't know if he is a teacher or a student!"
A gust of cold wind rose from the ground, and the beaded curtain of the sedan rolled up in the wind. Someone saw a broad sword standing inside the sedan, which was held by the general. Everyone who saw this scene took a breath and said softly: "This is... Qinghong Sword!"
Yan Zhen opened his eyes suddenly, and those murderous eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, instantly shutting up the mouths of these unabashed female students.
Seeing this scene, Su Yan smiled helplessly, left the yard and went to Lesheng Hall.
Leshengtang is hidden in the dense woods. It stands on the mountains and stacked stones. Stepping up the ten steps, there is a stone door. The stone door is embossed with a picture of flying immortals. Two female fairies hold the door knocker with both hands and pull the door open. Serious, no different from those statues in the temple. Behind them was a beast kneeling on all fours, which looked ugly and extremely scary. The forelimbs of these two beasts were tied with iron chains around the female fairy's waist. At first glance, I thought that these beasts were the female fairy's mounts, but upon closer inspection, I found that the beasts looked ferocious and looked at the female fairy with covetous eyes, as if they were going to ride on them the next moment Devouring her, this scene was both beautiful and weird, making the hairs on Su Yan's body stand up.
On both sides of the stone steps are streams winding down, leading directly to the bamboo forest of Qingpingtang. Su Yan didn't dare to stay longer and pushed the door open. In an instant, a paradise paradise appeared before his eyes.
The clouds are rolling in the sky, and moss and flowers are everywhere under your feet. There is a gravel path between the flowers and grass, and at the end is the main hall of Yuesheng Hall.
The gate of a good school is full of smoke and smoke. It looks like a flying fairy, but it looks like the style of Yun Lai Pavilion. Su Yan was thinking as she continued to walk in. Xilou followed her at some point and said to her: "I just caught a glimpse of you. It seems that you are among the people welcoming the general. Why don't you go to the Summer Resort to attend the reception?" Banquet? All the female students in the academy are here!"
Su Yan turned to look at him and said disdainfully: "Only those group of nymphomaniacs in the world want to meet him all day long! How can I, Mr. Shu Youtang, be compared with them? You too underestimate me, Su It’s gone!”
Xilou touched his head in embarrassment and said, "I saw that you were half-tempered in front of the door, and I thought you were also fascinated!"
Su Yan gave him a big eye roll, strode forward, and shouted loudly: "I've passed the age of love long ago. Now I just want to be my husband. It's their business if others are nymphomaniacs." , I just have to do my part!"
Xilou chased after him and said, "I heard that Yan Zhen was going to continue to station in Xiguan. This time he came back for a woman. I wonder who this woman is. She can actually invite the great general Rong Guo."
Su Yan glanced at him with disgust, "So you are just like those street people, and you love to listen to gossip?"
"Your reaction is too extreme, and it's not you that you're talking about." He raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest.
Su Yan stretched out his index finger and poked his shoulder: "I hate women with long tongues the most in my life. If you still want to drink and play with me, you have to keep your mouth shut and clean your heart. Don't do nothing all day long. Make irresponsible remarks. Furthermore, when Yan Zhen came to the academy, it was understandable that those group of nymphomaniacs were excited, but you also came to get involved, why did you do that?"
Xilou was overwhelmed by what he said, and quickly explained: "It's just a casual chat. Maybe I have heard too much, so I can't help but ask."
Su Yan said angrily: "You shouldn't ask me then. I'm not the one who asked Yan Zhen to come to the academy. How would I know!"
Xilou glanced at her secretly, "You are very angry today. Who provoked you?"
"No one messed with me. I just can't stand it. They are all people who have nothing to do when they have enough to eat. I'm just fine. I'm dedicated to my work and meticulous. I don't think about romantic matters at all!"
"Well, Mr. Su is really extraordinary and different." He nodded in agreement.
Su Yan stopped while walking, and then recalled Xilou's words of praise, and felt his heart agitate. The forest was full of flowers, dotted with dots of red, which fell on her face, blooming into a warm red.
She chuckled: "Well, I'm just an ordinary person. I have an average appearance and an average literary talent. I'm pretty good at boxing and kicking. What you said, haha, I really deserve it."
Xilou pushed aside the branches in front of him and walked into the woods, "You deserve it, just carry it alive!"
She hurriedly ran up and asked, "Are you here to see Mr. Jin?"
"Jinyun City has never interacted with me, and Wanchaofang has not had any new treasures for the school to distribute recently. Why should I come to her? I just heard that this is the only place where epiphyllums are planted in the entire academy. I came to pick a few. Go back and plant it in the backyard.”
Su Yan was pleasantly surprised: "What a coincidence, I'm also here to pick flowers this time, but I'm more vulgar than you, I'm just giving them away!"
"To whom?"
"Buddha, she has just recovered from a serious illness, and she feels happy after adding some bright colors to the room." She stopped in front of a strange-shaped tree. No matter how she looked at it, she found it ugly. She patted the trunk and said with disdain, "This pine tree It looks so weird, you think such a perfect person like Jinyun City can tolerate the entrance of the gate and plant such a tree!"
Xilou looked at the banyan tree next to her and couldn't help but doubt his understanding of the pine tree for so many years. He pulled a leaf and threw it on her face, laughing at her: "Ayan, you don't even know the Rongguo tree. Not too…”
Su Yan wanted to save face, pointed at the banyan tree and shouted loudly: "She is a pine tree, even if the king of heaven comes, he will still be a pine tree!"
Xilou held his waist and laughed non-stop. Su Yan couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand to persuade him: "It's almost done. Do you blame me for not being well-educated? If my master hadn't been lazy and didn't teach me knowledge, I would have been embarrassed here!" "
Xilou finally held back, patted the tree trunk, and taught the tree a lesson with a serious look on his face: "Why do you think you are so thin when you have nothing to do? It's better now, people have misunderstood you!"
Su Yan didn't show any weakness: "It's just that it's really misleading to be so thin for nothing! Just like you, I thought you were a child of some aristocratic family, but after a long time, you turned out to be a proton. Protons are rare these days! "
Xilou was very surprised by her words, and turned to Yun Danfeng and said lightly: "Since you don't see me often, then you can see me more often in the future."
Su Yan was very annoyed by his abruptness. In order to lighten the atmosphere, he added: "How many people are envious of you for your prosperity in Rongguo, and you have a confidante like Fo Zhen..." Su Yan quickly shut up. , I scolded myself so hard in my heart.
"You misunderstood. Fo Zha and I have only known each other since childhood. We have no connection."
"No fate or destiny? But Fo Zhen treats you..."
He stood under the tree and looked at her silently: "There are many people in the world who think that they will develop feelings after knowing each other for a long time, but that is not love at all."
Su Yan looked at him blankly, "What is that?"
Xilou patted her forehead and said with a smile: "Just like you and Zuo Qing, just like Jin Guan and Sun Ziliang, their relationship is closer than ordinary people." He tilted his head and said meaningfully: "But You and I are different, we are destined by fate, don’t you think we have known each other before?”
Su Yan hurriedly took a few steps away and said in a panic: "I'm warning you not to hit me!"
Xilou smiled and shook his head, strolling towards the epiphyllum group at the foot of the stone mountain.
Su Yan stared at his back blankly, his words 'déjà vu' lingering in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time.
From then on, Su Yan always had the illusion that every time he saw Xilou, it was like meeting an old friend, and he felt at ease when he was with him.
She didn't know at that time that he was the only person she trusted and relied on besides her closest relatives.
Su Yan lay awake all night, and all he could think of was the man standing in the sea of flowers, just like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. The master was hanging on the tree, waving to her.
When he woke up the next day, Su Yan went to Shuyou Hall with a chicken coop and two black eyes. On the way, he met a Buddha and said hello with a yawn. Fo Zhen seemed to be in a good mood. He arranged her hair for the first time, dipped his handkerchief in the lake water, wiped her face, and tidied up her clothes. Although she did not smile during the series of actions, compared to In the past few days, we could be considered close to the people. Su Yan was so frightened by his actions that she woke up a hundred times. She thought she hadn't woken up, so she scratched her ears hard. She grinned in pain and said, "I thought I was dreaming. This is the first time I see you so close."
Fo Zhen put away the veil and said, "You and I are both alone in this academy. From now on, we can move around more."
"Move around?"
Fo Zhen put the handkerchief in her hand, but she did not let go of her hand. She still held it lightly: "Don't believe anyone in Qishan Academy. If you encounter trouble in the future, come to me."
The sun was shining, the lake was colorful, the wind was gentle, and the birds chirped in the distance, as if someone was singing softly, singing into her heart. Su Yan felt that he was very happy today. The weather was good and the people were good. It was such a good day, and it seemed so wonderful to face those students who were holding them open.
After Su Yan left, Fo Zhen's face suddenly fell, and he looked stupidly at the South Lake, watching the fish passing by, and the pale sky.
"Elder, is there any medicine that can make people forget about love?"
Zeyuan raised his eyes and said in a rough voice: "Do you want to..."
He smiled bitterly: "I should have given it to her a long time ago, but if I delay it until now, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
"Oh...it's just that I haven't tried this medicine with anyone else, so I'm afraid it may have side effects..."
"What's the problem?"
Zeyuan handed him a crystal clear medicine bottle, "I will forget you completely, and only remember the most mundane things, the most important and unforgettable things, and I will never leave a trace of you. "
He chuckled again: "I think Xilou just pities her. She probably doesn't have any unforgettable experiences."
Xilou woke up from his sleep, dragged his heavy body to the window, and was lost in thought for a long time. He could no longer remember the first time he saw Fo Zhen. It must have been in the palace. She seemed to be hiding behind Ayan. He couldn't remember her appearance clearly. He only remembered that the wind that day was the same as now, carrying the wind of willows. smell. Ayan said to him: "Look, this is my sister, does it look good?"
He just tilted his head and glanced, but only Ayan's proud look remained in his eyes.
Xilou took out the porcelain bottle from under the pillow and poured the pills into the palm of his hand. When he asked for the medicine from Ze Yuan yesterday, he was clearly determined to make her forget it, but now, he couldn't do it.
Just wait, maybe as time goes by, her feelings for him will fade...
