As the morning light entered the shed, Li Ye opened his eyes.
Xiaoqing slept in his place last night, and he spent the night sleeping on a bamboo chair in the shed.
I boiled the fire and boiled water, washed my face and cooked porridge, and sat at the table, thinking about how to reply to the young lady far away.
I took out the letter from the young lady and read it several times. I studied the ink and picked up the pen, but I didn't know how to express my feelings at this time.
After thinking for a long time, I felt that even though I had thousands of words in my heart, I didn’t know which sentence to write. Shaoqing took up his pen and wrote down the words he wrote to the city lord yesterday.
The fragrance of red lotus root lingers in the jade mat of autumn. He undressed Luo Shang lightly and boarded the orchid boat alone.
Who in the clouds sent a brocade book? When the wild goose returned, the moon was full on the west tower.
The flowers float and the water flows. One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow.
There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I just frown, but it is in my heart.
There was no greeting or signature, but a song "One Cut Plum Blossom" by Li Yian expressed his mood at the moment.
Pulling out the little sister's letterhead, she put the poem she wrote in the cowhide envelope gently, scooped up the rice soup in the pot, sealed it carefully, exhaled a long breath, and completed the task. A matter of mind.
Since we can't see each other, exchanging letters is naturally the best way to express our thoughts. The same is true for Li Ye.
While gently stirring the porridge in the pot, I thought about what a lively scene the spring banquet at the foot of the mountain would be.
After all, the scene back then was still floating in front of his eyes.
Before Xiao Qing left, Li Ye handed her the words written to City Lord Xia and the letter to the young lady.
And asked her to tell her parents, Mu Mu and her husband that if no other accidents happened, she would leave here and return to Fengyun City in the summer.
In Xiaobai's reluctant eyes, Xiaoqing spread his wings and left Yaping.
Li Ye patted its head and said, "She can't take you down the mountain, so just stay here and follow me when the time comes."
Xiaobai, who was full, glared at Li Ye resentfully, slipped into the hole and went to sleep.
...
Today in Zizhuyuan, Mr. and Li Hongxiu welcomed General and Lin Ruyue, whom they had not seen for a long time. The four of them sat in front of the hall, drinking tea and chatting around the stove.
Although the general has an official position, he is also very kind in front of his husband.
Li Hongxiu took Lin Yueru, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, to ask questions. The two women whispered in low voices, not taking the two men seriously at all.
The general looked at Lin Yueru, shook her head, and sighed: "Wu Shuang is not at home. My wife and I are very bored on weekdays, so we came to disturb sir."
The husband has no children, but he can understand the feelings of the general and Lin Yueru, just as he cares about Li Ye.
Smiling slightly, he looked at the general and said, "Although I don't have a child yet, I can understand the mood of you and your wife. At this moment, Ye'er is alone on Tianshan Mountain, and I am always worried about him."
"Look at what you said, Li Ye is just like my son, everyone is the same." Lin Yueru didn't want her husband to have exclusive love for Li Ye, and her mother-in-law naturally cared about her son-in-law.
The husband was embarrassed by Lin Yueru's teasing. He looked at the general and said with a smile, "Will you and your wife go to the city lord's spring banquet in two days?"
The general thought for a while and replied: "Although Wu Shuang is not at home, since he invited me, he naturally wants yours. In fact, like you, I also hate these inexplicable banquets."
When Yao Hongxiu heard this, she was overjoyed. She patted Lin Yueru's hand and said, "That's great, that's great. I'll pick you up at the mansion when the time comes, and we'll go there together."
The gentleman looked at Li Hongxiu, who was like a child, with some tenderness in his eyes. He thought that his woman was kind-hearted and outspoken after all, but he didn't know that the carriage in the general's mansion was much better than yours.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, but it was Agui who was guarding the door and led two women, one large and one small, in.
Li Hongxiu's eyes lit up, and she leaned close to Lin Yueru's ear and said: "This woman came from Qingcheng in the Central Region. That little girl is his apprentice. It is said that she is the little princess in the imperial city. If she doesn't tell you, don't leave." Random question."
Mr. Tang and Li Hongxiu stood up. Li Hongxiu stepped forward and took Tang Qiuyu's hand and said, "Oh Mr. Tang, last time we said goodbye to each other in the restaurant, I was thinking of visiting you one day to have fun and ask you about some spiritual matters. ."
The husband nodded to Tang Qiuyu as a greeting. He took two tea cups, placed them on the tea table, poured boiling water into them and scalded them.
Tang Qiuyu passed by her husband and the general, looked at Lin Yueru and said, "Who is this?"
Li Hongxiu pulled Lin Ruyue and said, "You are the mother of your junior sister's apprentice, and this is her husband, the Shangguan General in Fengyun City."
"This is Mr. Tang Qiuyu from Qingcheng in the Central Region, and this is her disciple Xia Wutong from the Central Region." Li Hongxiu took Tang Qiuyu and Lin Yueru's hands and introduced them.
Tang Qiuyu's eyes lit up when he heard Li Hongxiu's introduction. He took Lin Yueru's hand and said, "I didn't expect to meet the general and his wife today. I was also thinking about going to visit them one day." After that, he took Xia Wutong's hand. come over.
"This is my apprentice Xia Wutong. She and your Wushuang are still good sisters."
Xia Wutong stood up, touched Lin Yueru's face and lightly blessed her face, then said softly with a blushing face: "Wutong has met the madam, met the general, and met the gentleman."
Li Hongxiu took Xia Wutong to sit down, looked at everyone and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a fate. It seems that I have to treat you to my restaurant for a drink today."
The general and Lin Yueru both looked at Tang Qiuyu. The couple was worried about the news about their daughter.
Tang Qiuyu looked at the two people quietly, thinking about the appearance of the junior sister and young lady on Phoenix Mountain.
He sighed softly and said nothing. He just took out a letter and a beautiful cloth bag from his arms and handed them to Lin Yueru, who looked nervous.
Lin Yueru took Feng He's bag and looked at Tang Qiuyu in confusion. He carefully took out the contents of the bag and saw that it was a small, glowing blue stone.
After being stunned for a long time, Lin Yueru suddenly asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Tang, what is this? You have seen my Wushuang. How are she and Master Xu in Phoenix Mountain?"
Looking at Lin Yueru's dazed look, Tang Qiucun sighed quietly, patted her hand and said softly: "It's natural for her to follow my junior sister to practice on the mountain. When I left, she was at the seventh level of foundation building. I After being away for so long, I guess I have broken through to the eighth level at least."
Lin Yueru was startled, looked at her and asked, "Wushuang is practicing so fast, why can't she reach the eighth level before she leaves home?"
Tang Qiuyu nodded and continued.
"This small blue stone is a spiritual stone used for cultivation in the Phoenix Sect. If you hold it in your hand and feel it carefully, you can absorb the spiritual energy inside and improve your cultivation. This is something Wushuang is reluctant to use, so he asked me to bring it to you and your wife. Used for practice.”
Xia Wutong nodded on the side, indicating that he agreed with the master's statement.
The general was stunned, he did not expect that his naughty and savage daughter could be so virtuous.
Lin Yueru's eyes turned red when she heard this, and tears flowed down uncontrollably. Xin Dao is a stupid child, and he is reluctant to use it, so why should he keep it to himself. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Li Hongxiu took out the silk scarf and handed it to her, and gently comforted her: "This girl is sensible. Just accept it and practice hard with the general."
Lin Yueru nodded while shedding tears, and murmured: "She has only been away for a long time, and she is so sensible. When I was at home, I scolded her every day, and told her to be virtuous, virtuous, and a quiet girl."
Li Hongxiu burst into tears, looked at her and said, "What are you talking about? Do you mean that I am not virtuous and virtuous, but a barbaric woman? I think I am pretty good."
Lin Yueru smiled and glared at Li Hongxiu fiercely.
My husband felt a headache, and thought to himself, why can't you just be quiet for a while in front of outsiders?
Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Hongxiu covering her mouth and laughing, and said, "It makes sense. We are all practicing women. How can we keep so many rules?"
In a blink of an eye, he glanced at Xia Wutong again, and then said, "Don't imitate her."
Tang Qiuyu stopped teasing Li Hongxiu and looked at the gentleman who was sitting quietly making tea and said, "I have heard about Mr. Mo for a long time. Last time I went to Sister Hongxiu's restaurant with City Master Xia, but I didn't see you, so I want to ask you for advice today."
The gentleman asked in confusion: "You can just say that it's okay. I'm just an idler in the mountains, and I don't care about worldly affairs. Is it worth your special trip?"
Tang Qiuyu was startled for a moment, then looked at her husband quietly, and said softly: "My junior sister admires you very much. The little girl Wushuang also said that she has benefited a lot from her husband's teachings. Wutong and I came to the city mainly because of Visiting you.”
"I also heard from junior sister that your disciple has arranged a baby wedding with Wushuang, and I also want to see this legendary little guy."
The gentleman raised his head and looked in the direction of the Tianshan Mountains in the distance, with all kinds of thoughts in his mind. He didn't know what kind of practice Li Ye was currently doing.
Looking at Tang Chao Qiu Yu, he said softly: "I just gave some pointers to the little guy Wushuang on some cultivation matters, which are not worth mentioning. Also, you came at the wrong time. My disciple is still practicing alone on Tianshan Mountain. To be honest, I don’t even know where he is at the moment.”
Lin Yueru looked at her husband and said, "Didn't Li Ye go to Tianshan Mountain to practice with him? Why did he stay alone on the mountain again?"
Li Hongxiu glanced at Lin Yueru who was in a daze, frowned and said: "Some things happened during this period, which can't be explained in a sentence or two. In short, he is safe now, but he can't get down for the time being."
Lin Yueru was stunned. She didn't expect that things would become so troublesome. Her son-in-law was practicing alone on Tianshan Mountain, and even his husband couldn't do anything about it?
Li Hongxiu looked at her anxious look and smiled.
"When you are free one day, come to the restaurant and I will ask Xiaoqing to chat with you slowly. Only she knows this best, not even my husband."
The general glanced at Lin Yueru and said softly: "Hongxiu said he is fine, so he must be fine. Besides, Mr. is here, so don't worry about it."
Lin Yueru nodded helplessly, put the seal away in her hand, and thought about taking a closer look after returning home.
Tang Qiuyu looked into her husband's eyes, looking a little puzzled, and murmured: "How can a seven-year-old child practice alone on the Tianshan Mountains covered by heavy snow, and still be safe?"
The teacher smiled and said: "Everyone has his or her own destiny, and everyone in the world is like this, not to mention that we are practitioners."
Tang Qiuyu nodded, looked at her husband and asked, "I heard from my junior sister that Li Ye is just in the Qi Gathering realm, isn't he?"
The general glanced at Lin Yueru when he heard this, but Lin Yueru did not respond to him.
Li Hongxiu knew Li Ye's realm, but he thought that his husband would not let him talk nonsense.
In desperation, he could only spread his hands and said: "Who said that a boy in the Qi Gathering Realm can't practice alone on Tianshan Mountain? This kid is thriving on the mountain. I want to ask him to come down but he is still not happy."
Xia Wutong opened his cute eyes, looked at Li Hongxiu and then at his master, and said with great confusion: "Is this guy so powerful? The cultivation level of Qi Gathering Realm can actually be practiced in Tianshan Mountain."
The husband looked at Xia Wutong with a smile and pointed in the direction of Tianshan Mountain: "He likes to play in the mountains, so I support him to play in the mountains. He can play for as long as he wants."
The general and Lin Yueru seemed to understand their husband's words and nodded gently.
What the teacher means is: As long as Li Ye is willing, he will do what he wants.
