Within a few days, everyone arrived at Luoyao.
Most of the men sent by the Sheng clan came from the outer sect and were affiliated with the clan to guard the platform. After arriving at Luoyao, they separated and went in different directions. When they came to the Bai Feng Mountain area, there were only a few inner sect disciples in the team.
This was the first time Qiong Yi saw the rumored Bai Feng Mountain. She never dared to think that this peak that reached into the sky was once raised by her ancestors with thousands of rocks. The mountains are majestic and majestic, surrounded by mountains and hills. From the moment you step into the mountains, a bit of cold air penetrates your heart and spleen. Although you are refreshed and refreshed, it also reveals a bit of sadness.
Under the leadership of Sheng Xuanyuan, they walked along the steep mountain road. The mountain was quite high, but there were shortcuts. Less than half an hour later, everyone climbed to the top of Baifen Mountain and officially entered the Sheng family's mansion.
The first time I entered the disciple's residence, the inner disciples said goodbye to the four of them and returned to their own halls to report their affairs. Sheng Xuanyuan signaled Qiong Yi and the others to continue walking further away. The palace buildings were carved with carved beams and painted tiles, and the jade steps under their feet were clear. The mansion was even more neat and luxurious. Qiong also looked around until they entered the home of the Sheng family, still sighing in her heart. : The balcony here looks like a jade in a painting, it’s so unique.
There was no one everywhere in the mansion, and it seemed a bit lonely and empty. They passed through the atrium corridor, and then went deeper. In the hall and pavilion, all the furnishings were placed meticulously. Whether it was the tables, chairs, tea table, or the bonsai trees in the courtyard, they were also carefully trimmed. .
Qiong Yi followed Sheng Xuanyuan, not knowing whether it was due to the influence of the environment or something else, as if he was restrained and did not dare to move rashly.
Sheng Xuanyuan noticed that the three of them were different from the past quietness, and was a little puzzled: "Why don't you say anything?"
Qiong Yi whispered: "It's so quiet——"
Su Ye asked: "So is it possible to talk in here?"
Yan Ting sighed deeply: "I didn't see a single person in the mansion."
Sheng Xuanyuan felt a little baffled: "Of course he can talk. It's quiet now because the outer sect is studying, and most of the inner sect disciples are practicing in the school grounds. At this time, the chores in the mansion have been completed, so they can't be seen. Servant’s.”
The three of them said "Oh" in unison.
Sheng Xuanyuan took them to Jingxuan Pavilion. Unexpectedly, it was still empty. Sheng Zijing, who had always practiced here, was nowhere to be seen. Sheng Xuanyuan went to ask the old attendant in charge. When he saw him bringing someone back, the old attendant looked slightly shocked and immediately replied, "Second Young Master heard that you were returning to Beishan, so he went to Qingfeng Academy to pick you up." You go home.”
Sheng Xuanyuan was speechless. He went home for a visit, but his second brother went to Yize to pick him up?
Thinking about it, it was really unlucky. Not only did he miss the opportunity to meet, but he also had to go on an extra trip.
Sheng Xuanyuan secretly thought in his heart and asked the old waiter to arrange a resting place for Su Ye and Yan Tingshen: "These two are my friends. Clean up the two guest rooms in the west wing and entertain them for a few days."
"Yes." The old servant saluted and said, "Young Master, those guest rooms are taken care of every day. If your distinguished guests want to rest, I can lead the way now."
"What about me?" Qiong was also a little confused. If she didn't live in a guest room like Su Ye and the others, where would she live?
"How can you sleep in the guest room like us?" Su Ye saw that Sheng Xuanyuan was actually enlightened and smiled at her: "Qiong Yi, he is taking you home to see you, isn't it just a stranger to be a guest? ?”
Before Qiong Yi's words left her mouth, Su Ye said again: "It's just right. After walking for half a day, my legs and feet are tired. Please ask the old steward to lead the way and send me and this little friend to rest."
The old waiter said: "Yes. You two gentlemen, please come this way."
Su Ye walked with broad steps, urging Yan Tingshen to walk faster to make a clear space for the two of them. Yan Tingshen shook his head helplessly and followed Su Ye through the courtyard gate and walked away.
Qiong Yi curled her lips and looked at the other steward woman in front of her. Sheng Xuanyuan introduced: "The one who walked away just now was steward Wang. This is Po Mo. She has stayed in Jingxuan Pavilion for many years. She handles most of the daily living. I will take you to your room later, and if you have anything you don’t understand, you can come to her."
Qiong Yi was surprised: "My room? Isn't this my first time here?"
"Yes." Sheng Xuanyuan nodded: "Although this is my first time here, I have already told my subordinates to make preparations. Now that you and I are not married yet, it is inconvenient for us to live in the same room, so we need to arrange a room for you." He said It was so natural that he didn't notice Qiong Yi's face suddenly turning red after hearing the word "sex".
"Sheng, Sheng Jing!" Qiong Yi's cheeks turned red. She said this in front of others, feeling embarrassed and embarrassed for a moment.
Sheng Xuanyuan didn't know that "sex" was commonly known among the people, which meant a man and a woman cultivating together in the sense of a Taoist. When he saw Qiong also lowered his head and said nothing, he thought she was moved by his thoughtfulness and chuckled: "Let's go, I'll accompany you. Go and place your luggage, and after I finish instructing the dining room, I will go find Su Ye and the others for dinner."
Po Mo didn't say any other gossip, but just led the way for the two of them: "Young Master, Miss, please come this way."
Passing through the central courtyard and bypassing several pavilions, Qiong Yi saw a wing house with a very quiet environment. There was a large open space outside the house, covered with smooth cobblestones. There was a rockery pond and fir trees in front of the yard. You could hear distant sounds. The sound of birds chirping from the mountains. Sheng Xuanyuan said: "Go through this small side door, and there is my sleeping place over there. The two rooms are very close to each other, and you can move around at any time." After that, he opened the door and motioned for her to enter the room.
Mo Po bowed and bowed, then retreated outside the house.
Qiong Yi was pulled in by him in a daze. The room was fully furnished, including bookcases carved from fine agarwood, hollow shelves for porcelain and colored glass, bead curtains that separated the main room from the sleeping area, and silver embroidered There is a sword platform on the screen, and there is also a Lanqi on the sword platform that completely fits the size of the Xiange sword.
Qiong Yi's hand passed over the sword platform, and there was no stain on it.
Sheng Xuanyuan said to her: "From here on, it will be your other home."
He said: "Yinyi Garden is your home. Bai Feng also has a home. After you and I get married, there will be a home for us at the foot of the mountain and in the world."
Qiong Yi's nose was a little sore for some reason.
Does she have a family?
When Uncle Chen was still there, she could sleep with Uncle Chen and A Luo in the empty room next to the horse cellar. There was a very big wooden bed in it. Although the straw hurt her feet, she was very happy to have her family with her. ; Later, she and A Luo slept under a tree, in a bridge hole, in a utility room that had been cleaned up in the kitchen; and later, in Yinyi Garden, she had a very beautiful bedroom, which was very small. In the most remote part of the garden, the vine leaves of the ground brocade will cover the entire exterior wall, sometimes even making it impossible to open the windows.
"...Sheng Jin." Qiong Yi tightened his hand, stood on tiptoes and leaned into his arms. There was some sobs in her throat, and she lowered her eyelashes and said, "Thank you for preparing this for me. I... am very... like."
Sheng Xuanyuan's slender knuckles passed under her light brown eyelashes. He said "Hmm" and half-leaned down to kiss the red corners of her eyes. His ears felt faintly warm, "As long as you like it."
Qiong also raised her head, her eyes were a little red, but there were no tears. She gently curved the corners of her lips, revealing a beautiful smile. The little tiger teeth were pointed, adding a bit of cuteness, which was really touching.
Sheng Xuanyuan couldn't help but look away. In order to suppress his thoughts, he tried to change the subject: "By the way, Qiong Yi, don't you want to see the tail? How about we go look for it in the yard?"
Hearing the tail, Qiong Yi immediately let go of his hand, nodded and said, "Okay." Then she led him outside the house, walking briskly, with her braids raised, outlining a fleeting arc in the air, and falling again. Back behind.
Sheng Xuanyuan pursed his lips, rubbed his red ears with one hand, and followed her out.
After walking out of the house, Sheng Xuanyuan gave Mo Po a few words and asked her to go in and make the mattress so that she could rest at night.
The two went to the kennel built specifically for the tail, but they didn't see it. After walking around the garden for a long time, they saw a wind-like yellow furry figure flashing past. The hairy dog After seeing Sheng Xuanyuan, he stayed where he was. He neither barked nor ran away. He was stunned for a long time, then walked around in a circle, bowed his paws to the ground, and then jumped up. Sheng Xuanyuan and Qiong also interacted with each other. Looking at each other, not knowing what Taili was thinking, he reached out and called him: "Tail."
Taitail stared blankly at the two of them, motionless.
Qiong Yi patted Sheng Xuanyuan twice and said in a low voice: "That's bad, Sheng Jing, you have been away from home for too long, and I don't recognize you anymore."
Sheng Xuanyuan didn't believe it and continued: "Tail, it's me, come here."
The tail sniffed with its nose, and suddenly its eyes lit up. It jumped towards the two of them, grinning and sticking out its long tongue, licking left and right around Sheng Xuanyuan, and pounced on the person with its front paws. "Qiong Yi, look, it recognizes me and you." Sheng Xuanyuan stroked the tail of the dog's head to make it calmer, and whined at Qiong Yi with his tail, wagging his big furry tail. Qiong also traced the hair on its back: "You really remember me! Tails, you have grown so big!"
The tail spun in a circle, then sat down on the ground and let the two of them caress it. It has grown a lot compared to last year, and is already over the height of Sheng Xuanyuan's knees. Its fur is very bright, its body is tall and straight, and it runs like a tiger.
Qiong also sighed: "Although Sheng Kyung doesn't take care of you, you are well-raised."
The corners of Sheng Xuanyuan's mouth twitched, and he had to admit that his tail was indeed grown free-range.
Tails raised his head and barked, with a particularly proud expression, as if he knew Qiong was also praising him.
Then, the two of them sneaked all the way to the dining room. Sheng Xuanyuan ordered the kitchen to prepare the dishes. Qiong Yi smiled and asked, "What dishes are there for dinner?"
Sheng Xuanyuan said: "It's all what you like to eat."
Qiong was also a little surprised. She didn't expect him to remember everyone's tastes, so she just listened to what he said one by one: You have a sweet taste and don't eat bland porridge. You like sesame the most. Brother Yan has a light taste. Su Ye doesn't like meat. , and we need some food to go with the wine...
Only then did Qiong Yi know that when he was in Qingfeng Town, he often brought all kinds of delicious food, and he had already mastered his own taste.
At dusk, the two of them took Taiwei to look for Su Ye and the others in the west wing courtyard. Su Ye and Yan Tingshen at the guest room had already packed their luggage and were chatting in the courtyard. Later, Qiong Yi and Sheng Xuan resented each other.
I don't know if the tail still has an impression of Su Ye, or because it is hospitable, so it ran around Su Ye. Su Ye raised his eyebrows: "Hey, you know how to bring me the tail to take a look." He squatted down to tease the dog, and the tail rolled coquettishly. Su Ye held its paw and teased: "Tail, you missed me. No? You see, your father didn't care about you when he brought you home. He went out to play for so long and left you alone in an empty building. How pitiful."
He retracted his tail and claws, raised his fangs, and ran back to Sheng Xuanyuan's side, pulling and pulling at him.
"Look." Su Ye shrugged and said to Yan Ting, "Things raised by one's own hands are just different."
Yan Tingshen waved, Tai Tai ran over, and was patted on the head.
"Let's have dinner." Qiong Yi said with a smile: "Today it's his Sheng Jing's treat. He said that the weather will be fine in the evening and he will take us to Jiuyi Terrace to watch the stars!"
Su Ye applauded: "It's done! Lead the way!"
He asked again: "Sheng Xuanyuan, do you have any wine?"
Sheng Xuanyuan replied: "Yes. It's old wine, not much. I'm afraid you might get drunk."
"No!" Su Ye laughed loudly: "Please ask the kitchen to prepare more. Brother Yan and I can drink well, right?"
Yan Ting understood deeply and said: "Yes."
*
The dinner was placed in the open-air courtyard of the dining room. There was a square table for exactly four people. They lay on the ground and looked at the table eagerly. There was a night light hanging on the eaves not far away. It was getting late and the lights were dim. .
There were five dishes and one soup on the table, as well as desserts, wine and tea. They were all delicious and delicious. Qiong also felt that the cooking skills of the chef in Jingxuan Pavilion were no worse than A Luo. She enjoyed the meal very happily, but when she wanted to raise a glass and taste the wine, But Sheng Xuanyuan stopped him: "Qiong Yi, you can't drink."
"Why?" Qiong Yi saw Su Ye drinking happily and feigned anger: "Sheng Jing, please don't treat me differently!"
"You..." Sheng Xuanyuan remembered that time on Jiuhua Mountain when she lost consciousness after just drinking a little apricot blossom wine, and refused: "You are a small drinker. This wine is strong, so it's better not to drink it." He raised his empty glass from which no wine had been poured, "Look, I won't drink either. I'll accompany you, okay?"
"My drinking ability is obviously okay." Qiong Yi muttered, recalling that at that time, he drank seven or eight glasses of wine before he became dizzy.
Su Ye smiled and filled her cup: "Drink, Qiong Yi, I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight."
"Su Ye!" Sheng Xuanyuan pressed Qiong Yi's cup: "Don't you want to go stargazing?"
"Stars don't appear overnight. Stars are engraved on the sky day and night." Yan Ting smiled knowingly and advised, "If you have wine today, you will get drunk today."
He raised his head and looked at the sky. It was a cloudless night, and the sky was filled with silvery boulders: "Tomorrow will be a good day too."
"The author has something to say: The tail is of a pastoral dog, a male dog, with yellow hair. It is also the most beautiful among dogs."
