More and more women were walking from the medicine fields to their residences, their voices relaxing after work were filled with smiles. When they passed by a house, the window was suddenly opened, revealing a charming face.
Several female disciples quickly stood still and said in unison: "Second Deacon!"
Zhang Shanshan looked at the tools in the hands of several female disciples and frowned: "Have you finished planting? Who told you that you can rest?"
The female disciples bowed their heads slightly and answered quickly. Zhang Shanshan did not embarrass these people when she got the answer.
"Sister Shanshan, did something happen again?"
A hand was placed on Zhang Shanshan's shoulder.
Zhang Shanshan narrowed her eyes slightly, put her backhand on the back of the man's hand and looked behind the women who had returned from work, "They were all in the fields, and they will be back soon."
Bai Jianwen came up, buried his face on the side of her beautiful neck, gently sniffed the fair and delicate skin with the tip of his nose, and said nonchalantly: "I'll be back when I'm back. Is there any problem?"
Zhang Shanshan was a little itchy and giggled a few times. She turned around and pushed Bai Jianwen away, asking him to sit down in the chair. She then added a cup of fragrant tea and brought it to him.
Bai Jianwen saw what she was doing - her movements were extremely graceful, which was really pleasing to the eye. He took it with a contented expression and before taking a sip, he heard the beauty next to him sigh softly: "I'm afraid my uncle is finally coming to see us."
Bai Jianwen's face was suffocated, and there was a hint of discomfort in his eyes. He put the tea cup on the coffee table and sighed: "Master has treated me like a mother for so many years. She will definitely understand you, sister."
Zhang Shanshan smiled bitterly and held Bai Jianwen's hand, "I did all this for you. It's okay for my uncle and the others to misunderstand me, but it's the hardest thing for you to be caught in the middle."
Bai Jianwen was moved when he heard this, and pulled Zhang Shanshan to sit close to his arms. "Sister Shanshan, don't worry, I will explain it clearly to you. There must be Lin Chunmei instigating this."
Zhang Shanshan turned her head and looked out the window, squinting her eyes, with a hint of smile hidden in her eyes, but she was trying to dissuade her: "Don't think like this, Chunmei and Senior Sister Ning are friends, and now they have become the uncle's name." Disciple, if you say this in front of them, it will only make Uncle Master and the others think that I am instigating you behind your back."
"Then it's okay for Sister Shanshan to be wronged like this?" Bai Jianwen was aroused in his masculinity and said nothing to expose Lin Chunmei's hypocritical side.
Zhang Shanshan said: "These are all small things. Time will prove that I have no bad intentions towards you and my uncle. But...my sister does have something that needs my brother's help."
Bai Jianwen's eyes were burning and he agreed directly.
Zhang Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke after Bai Jianwen urged her repeatedly.
But it was she who wanted Bai Jianwen's help to ask Huai Cao Shi to acknowledge the existence of her as the second deacon and not to embarrass her.
Bai Jianwen thought for a while. The two days since he and Zhang Shanshan came back were not short. Although they met Bai Jiahe a few times, they could not get a good look, let alone being alone with the master in private. Sister Shanshan had been misunderstood and had been punished. There were many grievances, and besides being appointed as the second deacon, Yin Gu wanted to provoke confrontation. This was not Zhang Shanshan's intention, so she naturally patted her chest and said: "Sister Shanshan, don't worry, if the master is willing to come see me this time, I will I will definitely speak for you and never make it difficult for you to act on both sides."
Zhang Shanshan smiled softly, "This will help my brother."
She stood up and looked out the window. There was some expectation deep in her bright eyes. She wondered if she would see some expectation deep in her eyes later.
The changes in Ponderosa Valley happened so fast that it really caught people off guard. Zheng Shicheng was quite sophisticated and very decisive in his work. She originally intended to find a good ally, but unexpectedly, in one night, this person sneaked away without even looking at her.
What went wrong? In the past two days, she finally learned some inside information.
For her, the most important thing is that she has established a relationship with the real big shots in Hidden Valley and has become the second deacon in charge of all matters in the outer sect. One of these things, Hidden Valley and she both know clearly, is that Control Bai Jianwen.
"Perhaps Zheng Shi told those big shots about me? No matter what... I must seize this opportunity."
Thinking of this, Zhang Shanshan looked down at her own flimsy clothes, smiled at Bai Jianwen, and then returned to the boudoir and quickly changed into an elegant and conservative outer shirt.
At this time, as the footsteps of the outer female disciples turned around, Mu Qing and Huai Cao Shi walked towards the place where Xu Zuo lived.
Along the way, most of the time it was bad. When Huai Cao Shi talked about Mu Qingting, when Huai Cao Shi released it on Bai Jianwen, he did not directly deny a person because of his own bias, but objectively Talk about what you know.
"What do you think?" Huai Cao Shi suddenly stopped and looked at Mu Qing.
There were female disciples passing by and walking to other places. Mu Qing retreated to the roadside, pondered for a moment and then said softly: "I can only see the flowers in the fog when it comes to situations and calculations involving many people, which is far inferior to your vision, uncle. From my own point of view, of course I am willing to believe what this sister Chunmei says."
Huai Caoshi nodded, "Is it because of Ning Chu?"
Mu Qing smiled and said: "Senior Sister has a noble temperament. I would naturally be more willing for Sister Chunmei to be recognized by Senior Sister."
Huai Cao Shi knew what he was doing, sighed softly, and looked at a house not far away, "Hidden Valley asked Zhang Shanshan to be the second deacon, which is a great move."
Mu Qing asked: "Is it because Jianwen likes her?"
Thinking of what he saw that night in Huangsong Valley, Huai Cao Shi frowned slightly and said softly: "Perhaps this kid is full of calculations now and feels that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has fallen into his hands. But he doesn't know that such a conscious behavior to stand out from others, No doubt seeking death, Hidden Valley would be happy to see us get rid of her."
"Huh?" Mu Qing thought of Xiaolan who was squeezed out just now, "The biggest significance of Hidden Valley's move is to let her die?"
Huai Caoshi sighed softly: "If we don't get rid of this child, Jianwen will most likely fall deeper and deeper into trouble. If we get rid of this child, Jianwen will hate us to death and fall into Hidden Valley's plan."
Mu Qing's eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that Hidden Valley will never see Wanhua Valley return to its former peace."
Ah--
Huai Caoshi led Mu Qing to continue walking forward, feeling the eyes from all directions, "The peace before was also an illusion. With so many people coming here, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers has never been peaceful."
Seeing that Mu Qing's face was a little depressed, Huai Cao Shi explained: "I asked you to walk with me for a while, not to make you depressed. The situation of entering tranquility is already the best situation that can be had at present. .”
Mu Qing nodded, thinking about Bai Jianwen, and asked, "Uncle, do you need me to warn this Zhang Shanshan?"
"Why should you warn her?" Huai Caoshi looked at Mu Qing, with a hint of coldness on her tired face, "She targeted Xiaolan and the others intentionally or unintentionally. This time I found out, I will remain silent. If she is still unaware of her current situation and takes advantage of Jianwen's trust in her to take power from me, I will also give in."
"When a person suddenly gets the opportunity to stand at a high place, the first thing he has to think about is whether his virtue can match his status. At this time, restraining his edge is the best choice."
Mu Qing thought thoughtfully: "Isn't this considered a form of flattery?"
Huai Caoshi shook his head and said: "This is different from you. Although you are a slender person, you still have your own foundation and it is difficult to be replaced. But she is just relying on the wind to climb a high cliff, and there is a cliff at her feet. , the closer she gets to the edge of the cliff, the more people stand behind her and want to push her off the cliff."
Mu Qing raised his head and looked around. Most of the people whispering were discussing his identity. When they made eye contact with him, most of them subconsciously avoided it.
"I forgot, they are all from Hidden Valley."
"Everyone has the right to pursue change for the better. Improvement in status often means richer resources and more opportunities."
Huai Cao Shi's slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were deep, "Speaking of the past ten years, in order to ensure that the inheritance is not stolen, the junior sisters have also blocked their upward channels. They stayed in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and they also wasted the most precious things. It’s okay if I have some complaints against Ten Thousand Flowers Valley because of my youth.”
Mu Qing savored it carefully and could feel that what Huicao Shi said was already relatively objective, and asked: "What are you planning to do, Uncle Master? If you need anything, please speak up."
Huai Caoshi's eyes flickered, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "This matter will not fall on you juniors. You just need to practice well now. When junior sister wakes up, I will help her make some changes and try to eliminate the grievances of these people. "
"But...Uncle Master does have a merciless request here."
Huai Caoshi had a gentle smile on her face.
…
…
Only when he reached the house where Xu Zuo lived did Mu Qing understand what Huai Cao's poem meant.
It turns out that Huai Cao Shi is still worried about Bai Jianwen, guessing that Zhang Shanshan is unstable and may want to befriend Mu Qing. She hopes that Mu Qing can accept the other party's kindness naturally and let Bai Jianwen see clearly what kind of Zhang Shanshan is. A girl.
Mu Qing was quite impressed with Huai Cao's poems. Among the people he knew, he could be compared with Wang Yeqing, so he subconsciously thought that this possibility existed and said with some hesitation: "Uncle, maybe you don't know... …”
Seeing that Xu Zuo and the others had come out, Huai Cao Shi smiled and said, "I know, you are afraid that Shaoyao will misunderstand you, but I will tell everyone about this matter and I will never let your reputation be tarnished."
Mu Qing opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but later realized that the explanation might become more confusing as soon as he opened his mouth, so he reluctantly agreed to Huai Cao Shi's request.
"Junior brother Mu Qing (brother?)"
Here, Xu Zuo and Bai Jiahe saw the person standing next to their master and walked up to them with surprise on their faces.
When Mu Qing saw the two of them, he nodded happily, looked at Xu Zuo and asked, "Is my sister-in-law's injury getting better?"
Bai Jiahe's pair of wonderful eyes swept over Mu Qing's body. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is fine. Senior brother was injured so badly, but is he feeling better?"
Mu Qing said it was okay, Lu Fanrou had already appeared at the door, holding a food box in his hand, with a happy face, and asked Mu Qing to come inside and sit down.
"Hurry up and deliver the food." When Lu Fanrou handed the food box to Xu Zuo, Xu Zuo was stunned. In the past few days, it was his junior sister who had been delivering food to Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao, so why was it his turn today.
Seeing Xu Zuo's stupid look, Lu Fanrou felt angry and walked a few steps to him, "Go back quickly."
"No -" Xu Zuo held the food box and subconsciously looked for someone.
Bai Jiahe followed Mu Qing, and when he saw Xu Zuo looking over, he lowered his head. Xu Zuo suddenly slapped his forehead, took the food box, and ran out without looking back.
"Senior Brother Xu is too strict with his rules."
Mu Qing looked at Xu Zuoyuan's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh.
"Huh?" Bai Jiahe blinked, nodded suddenly and smiled: "Senior brother really respects the rule that men are not allowed to enter the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley."
Mu Qing's face looked a little ashamed, and Bai Jiahe's face looked a little shy.
Lu Fanrou on the side had a loyal smile on his face, but Huai Cao Shi looked at Mu Qing with a strange look for the first time.
