Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci finally parted ways in front of the palace gate. Both of them walked towards the palace without looking back. They did not look at each other again. It seemed that they were afraid that this glance would make the two of them wait for the upcoming meeting. In the last meeting between the two countries, the two countries could not give up their composure.
Xie Ruqing was quite moved while sitting on her carriage...
It has been a long time since he fully told the pain of childcare that he had accumulated in his heart for a long time. Although the content of what he just said was very dry, it was nothing more than the pain that every family has, and his description did not contain many vivid images. , people are addicted to it, but Chu Ci is very keen to understand his pain from it.
It had been a long time since he and his junior brother had put down all the calculations in their hearts like they had just done. They had nothing to do with state affairs and only cared about each other Chun Chun.
After all, when the two truly have the power to change the fate of others, it is already destined that they, the brothers, cannot go back to the past.
But fortunately, despite losing something, fate was very generous and gave them something again...
Just like God took away the spring with blooming flowers, and now brings the cool breeze of summer...
Thinking of this, Xie Ruqing finally couldn't help but stretched out her hand, feeling the invisible but touchable cool breeze between her fingers...
——
(I am a super cute dividing line)
The cool breeze stirred the water in the pond of Jufuzhai, and the water plants in the wind made loud noises. The lotus flowers in the morning still carried the morning dew, exuding bursts of fragrance and filling the entire courtyard.
At this time, Xie Haoan was carried to the courtyard by several servants, lying on a square bamboo bed, and he and his mother Gu Ruosu enjoyed the plums and melons that were put in the well and chilled with cold water. They were as refreshing and refreshing as ice and snow!
"Well, this melon is really sweet. Mom, after I recover from my injury, you have to come and sit at my place. Only in this way can my father be willing to let people prepare so many delicious food at my place!" Xie Haoan said with a smile.
"Come on, you'd better take good care of your injuries. I don't know if you hit Tai Sui this year and were beaten like this twice... Hey... I really regret that I didn't let you practice martial arts well. Now, when I meet They're so powerful that they can't even be beaten..." Gu Ruosu said while eating the watermelon in her mouth and looking helplessly at Xie Hao'an, who was beaten into a panda again.
"How can you blame me... It's not that I don't know martial arts, my son, it's just that my level is not high... I can only use it to make ends meet... I usually use it for self-protection, but I think it's enough, son... But compared to Deng The bastard who practiced martial arts since childhood and the bodyguard raised by that guy Liu De are naturally different..." Xie Hao'an defended.
"Haha... after all, your skills are still inferior to others... It's okay. Anyway, your father said this morning that when your third brother comes back next year, he will let your third brother take you to practice martial arts."
"Ah! Mom, there's no need for that... My third brother is so incompetent... If I really fall into his hands, my third brother will definitely call me to stand in the sun every day... Mom... By then, you won’t have a son as good-looking as me~Mother~" When Xie Haoan thought of his third brother’s temper, he suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, and with a twist of his little head, he immediately got close to him Gu Ruosu said coquettishly in front of her.
"What you said makes sense... You have no merit in the first place... If you lose your face, you will have no merit at all... But what your father said makes sense. You have a face in vain, and it's no good if you can't protect yourself... ...How about... let someone else teach you martial arts..." Gu Ruosu groped his chin and said immediately.
"Mom! I'm your biological child! Why do you dislike me so much! In addition to this face, I also have a lot of talents! I am a person who can lift people! I can lift people! Mom!" Xie Hao'an said angrily.
"Oh... But your father, your eldest brother, and your second brother are all top picks... Your fourth brother is also a Jinshi... Your third brother is also a Wu Jinshi... You are just a candidate, so you are not going to continue the exam... You are so embarrassed What..." Gu Ruosu rolled her eyes and Xie Haoan said calmly.
Xie Hao'an was choked by what Gu Ruosu said for a moment. She didn't know what to say to refute. In the end, she had no choice but to say coquettishly: "Mother~"
Xie Hao'an was still like a child in front of Gu Ruosu. Even if he was injured, he was dishonest. Pulling on Gu Ruosu's sleeve was a disaster. He didn't care, but he just didn't want to practice martial arts... And Gu Ruosu was here Under the "torture" of Xie Hao'an's three techniques of "obsession and crying", he finally softened his heart...
Gu Ruosu felt that the only way to protect Xie Hao'an's personal safety was to turn Xie Hao'an into a martial arts master. Thinking of this, Gu Ruosu was about to agree to Xie Hao'an's request, but the next moment, the brown sugar next to Xie Ruqing suddenly broke in and held her hand. Holding two letters in his hand, he trotted to Gu Ruosu and Xie Haoan, saluted and said:
"I've met Madam, I've met Sixth Young Master."
"No gift, no gift, Brown Tang, you weren't with my dad, why did you suddenly come to find me and my mother... Why... My dad won't come up with another way... Come and deal with me... "Xie Hao'an waved his hand and said slightly uneasily.
Gu Ruosu patted Xie Haoan's little hand angrily and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about? If your father finds out, he will really find a way to deal with you, a skinny monkey..."
"Brown Tang, please ignore him... He has been injured recently and can't go out to play. He is so depressed that he is holding back. This mouth is really overdue. Don't get angry with him."
Brown Tang cupped her hands and said:
"I don't dare. I just went to Yunxiao Temple today to do some things on the order of the Duke. I met a disciple named Yun Zhen inside the temple. That disciple said, Madam, you and the Sixth Young Master He was her savior, but last time the war was in chaos, I didn't have time to thank Madam and the Sixth Young Master in person, so I specially wrote two letters and asked me to forward them to Madam and the Sixth Young Master."
After saying that, Brown Tang handed the two letters to Gu Ruosu and Xie Haoan respectively.
"Actually, that day, Xiaoliu and I just happened to pass by there and saw a green tea bully. We couldn't stand it anymore, so we just spoke up."
"Yeah, it's just a little effort. I didn't expect that girl would still take it to heart, which makes me embarrassed..." Xie Hao'an echoed Gu Ruosu's words.
"Well, I'm quite embarrassed too... I've grown up... this is the first time I've received such a formal letter of thanks... And, look, this girl's words, her literary talent, her level, tsk tsk tsk, It looks no worse than you~" Gu Ruosu said while reading the thank you letter in her hand.
"Mother, don't make fun of me... However, this girl's literary talent is really good... If she is willing, maybe she can be a female official... Oh, by the way, Brown Tang, you went to Yunxiao Temple , do you know what the situation is like for that girl now? I remember that last time, her senior brothers and junior sisters were not good people..." Xie Hao'an quickly read the letter in his hand and put it back properly. In the envelope, he then asked Brown Tang.
Brown Tang thought for a while and said: "My little one, this time I went back to Yunxiaoguan to find Master Xianyun, and it was at Master Xianyun's residence that I met Miss Yun Zhen.
I heard that Miss Yun Zhen changed to become a disciple of Master Xianyun for some unknown reason after the last incident. "
"Master Xianyun, that's quite good. Mom, I heard that this Master Xianyun's ability and reputation far exceed that of the current Master Yehe of Yunxiao Temple..." Xie Hao'an said to Gu Ruosu in surprise.
Gu Ruosu nodded and said with emotion:
"The relationship is good. This illustrates one thing. Good people are rewarded. As for those people last time, I think they will also receive retribution sooner or later."
"What Madam said is absolutely right. When I came back from Yunxiao Temple, I heard from several young Taoist priests that several of Master Yehe's disciples were punished for harsh treatment and punishment of their brothers and sisters. There are different levels of punishment.
Some were punished to travel in the desert, some were punished to meditate on their mistakes on the back mountain of Yunxiao Temple, some were punished to guard the wild animals in the back mountain, and even worse, like a female disciple named Yun Duo, I heard that she Everything they did was investigated by Master Yehe and Master Xianyun...
Now, everyone knows about the harmful things she has done. Not only has her reputation become infamous, but she has also been kicked out of the house by Master Xianyun and Master Yehe, who have abolished all their martial arts... Now... I don’t know where he went…” Brown Tang said at the right time.
Gu Ruosu clicked her tongue several times, and then said: "This is quite tragic, but there is nothing to sympathize with. After all, it is all their own fault."
Xie Hao'an nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, if I had known it today, why would I have done it in the first place? When I harmed people, why didn't I think of today's outcome?"
"By the way, mother, since Miss Yun Zhen sent us a letter of thanks, why don't we also write a letter to Miss Yun Zhen, congratulating her on her escape from the sea of suffering, wishing her peace with Master Xianyun and her disciples, and wishing her to study hard Well, how about... let's send some more gifts..."
"It's not impossible, we ladies have nothing to do anyway. If not, just write back to Miss Yun Zhen and give her a gift..." Gu Ruosu nodded and said.
"Then what should I give? This cultivator must be the most elegant... But my yard is full of gold and gems and other common things... Xiao Liu'er, you are also a scholar after all, do you have anything in your little treasury? It’s a good thing to get…”
"No, no, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes. The mouse's son can dig holes. My son is just like you. What he likes most is valuable things... What elegance... My son doesn't know... I don't know..." Xie Hao'an heard that his son The old mother was thinking about her own little treasury and quickly shook her head and said.
Gu Ruosu glanced helplessly at her money-mad son, and finally thought for a moment and said:
"Okay, okay, let's not touch your little treasury... why not touch your father's..."
"My dad...it's better to say goodbye...Mom, last time, my second brother and I took a few things from my dad...my dad was very distressed...he thought of a way and asked me to copy several things. The scroll of Taixu Sutra...
This time, if my father knew that it was my idea to give the gift... Don't say that my injury is healed, it's just that my injury is not healed yet... My father will probably find a way to make me copy the book... Mom ...You just feel sorry for your son's little hands..." When Xie Hao'an heard Gu Ruosu's suggestion, he quickly shook his head, thinking about the last time he was settled by his father Qiu Hou, and felt a chill.
"Hey, you kid, this won't work, that won't work either... Then tell me... whose treasury is suitable for us to raid... It can't be your second brother's... Although your second brother is elegant, but No one is at home now... How dare you go get the things from your second brother's library..." Gu Ruosu said after taking a bite of watermelon.
Xie Hao'an's little eyes turned shrewdly, and then, when he thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he leaned into Gu Ruosu's ear and said:
"Mom, although the second brother is not at home, the eldest brother is at home... The eldest brother is also a scholar and the prime minister. The good things in the small treasury are no less than those of father and second brother..."
Gu Ruosu glanced at Xie Hao'an, and then said with a little doubt:
"Your eldest brother? Your eldest brother must have a lot of good things... but... the two of us give gifts, and use your eldest brother's things to borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha... This is not good..."
"Mom, what's wrong with this... I remember that after my eldest brother became an official, he took the initiative to give the key to his warehouse with you, mother. Apart from eldest brother, you are the only one who has this key. Yes, my father and sister-in-law don’t have it. Isn’t it obvious what I mean..."
"This is all eldest brother's filial piety... Mother, you must not let down your eldest brother's filial piety..." Xie Hao'an said with an air of "I want to improve the relationship between your mother and son", but in fact, in his heart he was Because he remembered the last time his eldest brother caught him secretly going out to fight cocks with a token of gratitude and fined him three months' monthly payment, he wanted to trick his eldest brother severely and make him pay a good price. Put the blood.
"Well... maybe your eldest brother had a whim at the time, but later, he was too embarrassed to ask me to go back..."
When Xie Hao'an was thinking about which treasure in his elder brother's warehouse to steal, he suddenly heard Gu Ruosu say this. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He was ready to persuade his mother, but the next second, he heard Gu Ruosu say again:
"But it's true... In our family, after thinking about it, if we want to come up with a decent gift so quickly, we can only ask your eldest brother for help... Forget it... I heard that your eldest brother didn't go today Go to court and rest at home. I’ll go see your elder brother now..."
After saying that, Gu Ruosu immediately stood up and was about to ask Xie Hao'an, but Xie Hao'an immediately said:
"Mom! What about me! Why don't you take me with you!"
"You... you can't even walk by yourself now. You need so many people to carry you out carefully when you come to a yard... Why should I take you... You should have a good rest. When your mother and I have good news, we can Tell you, be good~"
After Gu Ruosu finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and said goodbye to Xie Hao'an. No matter what Xie Hao'an said behind him, he immediately set off towards Xie Haowen's yard with Biyun, Brown Tang and others.
