Chapter 27 Maoshan (4)
It was dawn, and the morning sun shone in through the window. Xiao Xia opened her eyes and saw the bright moon huddling at her feet and sleeping soundly. Her little face, which was as pure as a jade-like figure, was full of baby-like simplicity. The door that he had originally closed was wide open.
Xiao Xia sighed, scratched her head, feeling a little headache. Before He Si'er came back last night, Mingyue was sleepy and wanted to sleep. He was indeed a little sleepy, but Mrs. He arranged for them to fall asleep in the wing room next to her. Of course, Mrs. He arranged two rooms, Xiao Xia and Mingyue each, but she didn't know when Mingyue actually ran over quietly in the middle of the night and crawled on Xiao Xia's bed and slept in a corner.
This is actually nothing new, and it happened often before. It would be fine if you were sleeping in the wild, but it would inevitably attract attention in the inn. Although Xiao Xia spent a lot of effort and time to explain, it was still difficult to let Miss Mingyue understand the principle of men and women's defense. He had already advised him last night, but it was still useless.
This is He Zhenren's home. Mingyue's quiet actions can be hidden from Xiao Xia, but it must be He Jinzhi. Fortunately, the Maoshan sect is obviously not a rigid Taoist elder, and Xiao Xia himself has a clear conscience and doesn't have to be too nervous.
Looking at Mingyue sleeping soundly at her feet, this scene is not the first time I saw it. Xiaoxia still felt a strange feeling of warmth. This is not a relationship between men and women. Although Mingyue looks like a beautiful girl, it is still unclear whether she can be considered a "person". Xiaoxia is no longer the kind of naughty green who can't help but meet a beautiful woman. This kind of warmth of dependence and mutuality is a bit like a friend who absolutely trusts. It is also a bit like a very cute child, or... Xiaoxia suddenly remembered a Yunzhou native I met in the Liuzi Camp. The expression on his face when the Yunzhou native caresses the mastiff in his arms every day. It seems to be somewhat similar to this feeling.
Speaking of which, the original body of Miss Mingyue was also a small animal. Thinking of this, Xiaoxia touched her head and smiled bitterly, and felt more and more strange. She couldn't help but reach out to touch Mingyue's head and face. The black hair tentacles felt like silk. The skin was delicate, white and tender like a baby.
"You...you two...are actually...in my house..."
The sound from the door came, Xiao Xia looked up in shock, and saw that He Sier had already stood at the door at some point. She was staring at Mingyue and him on the bed with disbelief. She was distracted and thought about things just now, but she didn't notice the sound of her coming.
"Ah...this..." Although Xiao Xia was full of tricks, she couldn't help but panic at this time. "In fact, it's not what you imagined. Miss Mingyue just came over to sleep there in the middle of the night. We didn't do anything."
"Ah..." Mingyue also woke up. She half sat up and stretched her waist, then looked at He Sier as if nothing had happened. "Hey, Miss He, are you back? We waited for you for a long time last night. We went to bed before you came back. I'm hungry, do you have food?"
###
Until she sat together for breakfast, He Sier still looked at them with a little bad eyes. Regardless of whether she believed what Xiaoxia said, seeing such a situation at her home really makes people feel bad.
The breakfast was made by Mrs. He himself, steamed buns, boiled eggs, and very ordinary farm breakfast. It was made by Mrs. He himself. Zhenren He also sat at the table, drinking a bowl of porridge with great care and enjoyment. He Sier was beside him, gnawing on the steamed buns with a bad look. It looked just a harmonious scene of an ordinary family, and there was no smell that the Maoshan master's house should have.
There was also a man with brocade robe sitting together for dinner, which was the third brother, He Sier's uncle, whom Mrs. He mentioned last night. His name was Nangong Wuwei. Although Mrs. He did not introduce it, Xiaoxia could still tell that the man of the Nangong family should be a person in the officialdom and would never be low. Xiaoxia has seen many officials. No matter how powerful the people in the martial arts world are, they are still different from those in the real temple. Xiaoxia was not surprised. He could have judged it from Mrs. He's words last night. Moreover, the Nangong family originally had considerable power in the Dagan court, which was an essential difference from ordinary martial arts world powers. It was a family in the true sense.
"How many years have I not eaten the rice cooked by my fourth sister? It's been more than 20 years? I still remember that once I made the dragon scale python meat that my eighth uncle finally got into a pot of coke, but I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I insisted on blocking my door and letting me eat it. Hahaha."
"Do you still remember what happened so long? I almost forgot everything. I can't even remember the appearance of the old house in Yuzhou."
"You can go back and have a look when you have time. Although the fifth sister and the sixth brother all live in their own places, only the boss and some little guys are still there. Alas, this porridge is so delicious, and the steamed buns are really delicious. Is it mixed with some Maoshan specialty treasures?"
"It's white porridge and white noodles. I think you eat too many delicacies on weekdays, so you forget all the flavors. Otherwise, you can stay for a month and make sure you drool when you see the meat."
This Nangong Wuwei didn't have any airs at all. He chatted with Mrs. He happily and affectionately while eating. Mrs. He was also very happy. He Jinzhi put down the bowl and smiled and watched quietly. Even Xiaoxia seemed to feel comfortable and beautiful in this scene, except for He Sier's occasional glance at him, which was a bit pissing.
After eating, Mrs. He packed up the dishes and He Jinzhi also invited Xiaoxia to go back to Maoshan Palace with him and handle his magic certificate. Mingyue naturally followed him all the way. He Jinzhi called He Sier to go with him. This small courtyard that was just lively and warm just now became quiet.
The sound of brushing the dishes echoed in the kitchen monotonously. Mrs. He rolled her sleeves high. Years of housework seemed to have not left many traces on her. Her arms were still as white as snow, and her curves were soft like a girl.
"What's wrong? Are you still here to be a lobbyist this time? He wouldn't agree." Mrs. He didn't look back, and seemed to know that she had walked to Nangong Wuwei at the kitchen door without any sound.
"The years... have made you really miserable." Nangong Wuwei looked at Mrs. He's bowed back. After a while, he sighed. "If the second son of the Li family and those people who were crazy around you knew that you were washing dishes and washing clothes every day, they would be crazy."
"You are too underestimating others." Mrs. He did not stop washing dishes in her hands.
"Yes. Maybe it's not crazy. But the second son of the Li family will definitely sell all the industries he has, and then take all the money to Qingyulou to hang a reward for He Jinzhi's head. Or he will also find a way to trick the White Tiger Army from his brother who was a prefect and directly attack Maoshan." Nangong Wuwei sneered helplessly with a little ridicule. "The first beauty in the Central Plains world in the past, Nangong Wuyan of the Nangong family was the ultimate homework of housework all day long. If someone said this back then, he would have been beaten to pieces by those people."
Finally finished washing the bowl. Mrs. He straightened up, put down her sleeves, turned around and walked out of the kitchen. She packed up the dried vegetables in the yard. While cleaning up, she smiled and said lightly: "Didn't you and your second brother ask me to choose Jinzhi back then? Later, the boss also praised me for having a vision and chose a Maoshan master."
"It was the second brother who asked you to choose, but it was not me." Nangong Wuwei shrugged and sighed again. "It was the second brother who had a good vision. He read that right. When He Jinzhi was just a nameless Taoist in the Burning Fire in the Maoshan Villa, he could recognize that this person was definitely not a thing in the pool. This is what I admire, but he did things too much... just to tie a strong support from the Taoist sect to our Nangong family, but it delayed your whole life..."
"...that's just what you think. I haven't regretted it, but I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning... I've never thought I would cook and wash dishes before." Mrs. He stopped the movements in her hand, looked up and recalled, and showed a bitter smile. "If it's to be delayed... In fact, I have delayed Jinzhi over the years. If it weren't for me and Si'er... he might..."
"Maybe he would have even left the Maoshan sect to others long ago. Was it? If we hadn't tried our best to persuade Zhang Yuanling and the old fox secretly fueled the fire, he wouldn't have taken over the position of this sect."
"But if that's the case, maybe there will be another real Taoist master in the world. That is the way he really wants to go."
"The Grand Master of Taoism... Humph, is it ascending in the sun or hiding in the mountains and forests from now on? What's the significance of that to the world?"
Mrs. He turned around and looked at Nangong Wuwei with a smile, smiling a little sharply: "Yes, it means nothing to the world, and it means nothing to second brother and you. Then you are satisfied now. The head of Maoshan is the son-in-law of the Nangong family. How about it? Doesn't it sound much more majestic? Even the emperor in the court cannot be taken lightly. Do you still think this is not enough? You still pester him to accompany you to go crazy?"
"I'm not crazy this time. Do you think we're trying our best to do it for ourselves?" Nangong Wuwei's expression and voice also became heavy. "This is a great opportunity that is rare in a century. It is related to the country and the country, and even the rise and fall of humanity. We must strive for every available strength. Not to mention Brother Jinzhi, Zhang Yuanling and the monks of the Pure Land Zen Temple will take action. Kunlun sent the second brother of the Third Court to contact him. We even had to find a way to bring the two old monsters of the Tang Sect with us."
"A bunch of old ghosts with different ulterior motives are still counting on sincere cooperation? Not to mention that there is Ye Hongshan in front of you. Who can control those demon-like figures? If you want to be the Yellow Bird behind, you must have the ability to be the Yellow Bird. You can't be turned around and cut off your head with a knife." Mrs. He sneered, and after a while, she shook her head. "Don't think about it, Jin Zhi still won't agree. I don't want him to interfere in this matter."
"...What if it's for Si'er's girl?" said Nangong Wuwei.
"You dare~!" Mrs. He shouted angrily with wide eyes. The gorgeous and unparalleled face was full of fierce evil spirits. At this moment, the aura exuded by the woman dressed in a civilized twig hairpin was not inferior to that of Nangong Wuwei in front of He Sier last night.
"I did nothing from beginning to end. You also know that Si'er's girl wanted to go down the mountain, and I didn't give him the idea of the righteous alliance." Nangong Wuwei spread his hands calmly and looked calm. "But if Si'er's girl really wants to do something big, her position will easily be involved in it. Although she is not qualified to participate in the real core game, if we fail, she will not be able to escape the disaster when the nest is destroyed."
After a pause, Nangong Wuwei's voice became even lower, with a little astringent: "No, or it can be said that if we fail, all ten states in the world will be destroyed. Who can get real peace under the Great Qianjiang Mountains?"
"Can't you calm down and not do these things that are dying?" Mrs. He said hatefully.
"What is not stopping is Ye Hongshan, the people of Xidi, not us. We stand in this position with our second brother, so we can only do this." Nangong Wuwei replied.
Mrs. He was silent, and the evil spirit on her body slowly subsided, and finally she only sighed: "...Don't tell me Lian Si'er, even these are in the second brother's plan."
"I don't know this." Nangong Wuwei paused and sighed. "...it probably won't."
After a silence of unbearable silence, Nangong Wuwei said as if he was trying to find a topic: "By the way, you should still remember, isn't the one who had dinner with us just now..."
"Don't talk to me. I don't want to think about anything now, I don't want to pay attention to anyone. Do you love who you are?" Mrs. He turned around and walked into the room.
