A master suddenly fell from the sky and hit Qin Rushuang. She was a little stunned. She was a little at a loss: "Is it too hasty..."
After these days of getting along, Qin Rushuang can feel that Taoist Lianqing is no less capable than Taoist Yiqing, but he lives in seclusion in the southwest and is not as famous as Taoist Yiqing.
So when Taoist Master Lianqing expressed his intention to accept her as his disciple, Qin Rushuang was a little confused.
Not to mention the suddenness of this decision, just the fact that she is a woman is enough to attract criticism.
After all, nowadays, many capable people only accept male apprentices, and many things are passed down from male to female.
"Why are you so careless? Mu Duo, go and pour two glasses of wine! After drinking this master-disciple wine, Rushuang will be your little junior sister! Oh no, she is older than you, so she should be your junior sister?"
Taoist Lian Qing patted his thigh: "Whether we are senior sisters or junior sisters, we are all one family!"
Hearing Taoist Lianqing say that we will be a family from now on, Mu Duo cheerfully poured two glasses of wine over and said, "Senior Sister, please kneel down and make a toast!"
Qin Rushuang was speechless. Why did she become a junior sister? Can seniority be calculated based on age?!
Finally, she knelt down and toasted Taoist Lianqing.
If nothing else, just say that Taoist Lianqing saved their mother and son when she was giving birth. Kneeling down and toasting with a glass of wine is nothing at all.
So Taoist Lianqing happily drank the wine offered by Qin Rushuang, drinking it in a hurry, as if he was afraid that she would regret it, and almost choked.
Qin Rushuang, on the other hand, became Taoist Lianqing's direct disciple out of nowhere.
After drinking the wine, Taoist Lianqing's face was filled with joy.
"Great! In the past few years, he has always suppressed me because he had a disciple of the God of War. Now it's better. The achievements of the God of War are due to the help of my apprentice, hahaha!"
"Besides, his cold-faced apprentice is still Chen Shimei, great! I want to tell him about this! If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, I will beat them both up! Hehe, just thinking about how deflated he looks.
You can eat a few more bowls of rice!”
Qin Rushuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But now in Kyoto, I am already a dead person. Besides, who would believe such a thing?"
Who would believe that it was a woman who saved the people at the border, and who would believe that the two sisters could go through so many twists and turns, with one being executed and the other almost dying...
"Then after you recover from your injuries, we will fight back to Kyoto and catch him off guard!"
Taoist Lian Qing walked around excitedly, thought for a while and said: "No, no, that brat has been taught carefully by the brat for many years. Although you are talented and intelligent, I'm afraid you are not his match. I have to teach you more so that you can
Go deal with that stinky boy, so that the stinky old man won’t accuse me of bullying the junior!”
Qin Rushuang was so confused by the words he called "stinky old man" and "stinky boy" that she said quickly: "Just learn from me, master. Don't get excited yet."
Taoist Lianqing was so happy that he was called "Master", and he quickly said: "Call Master again to listen!"
Qin Rushuang had no choice but to call out "Master" again.
"Hey! Hey! Good disciple! What should I give you as a master? You were born in a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and you are the daughter of a general. You are not lacking in wealth and status. What should you do?"
Taoist Lianqing glanced at Mu Duo, who was enjoying himself, and patted his head: "Why don't I give Mu Duo to you! You see how good Mu Duo is, handsome and young, and he can be your son-in-law. How about that? Consider it.
one time?"
Mu Duo also nodded solemnly: "A visiting son-in-law is fine, we don't have that many explanations in our village!"
Qin Rushuang only felt that one person was bigger than the other, so this matter couldn't be resolved, right?!
Qin Rushuang finally persuaded the two of them to give up their bizarre proposal of letting Mu Duo come to her house to be her son-in-law. She just felt exhausted mentally and physically.
but……
Qin Rushuang lowered her head and looked at the ancient book that Taoist Lianqing had thrust into her hand...
Starting from tomorrow, she will study with Taoist Lianqing!
…
Different from the joyful atmosphere in the village, the atmosphere in the study room of Prince Huai's Mansion was solemn and no one spoke.
Xie Xun's hand is a battle report from the recent border crossing——
The border guards were defeated in repeated battles and retreated twenty miles to the border of Daqi. Dayan gathered two other small countries and had already arrived at the city...
Zhu Sha really couldn't stand the silent atmosphere, so he said: "Your Majesty! Dayan is bullying people too much! Why don't you let me and Nie Lei go together, we can definitely beat them back!"
Xie Xun shook his head: "No, you are stationed in Kyoto. This time I will go in person."
Zhu Sha spoke quickly and said: "But the princess's zombie just..."
"Zhu Sha! Shut up!" Nie Lei hurriedly pulled his sleeves: "Let's talk about the war in the study!"
Zhu Sha also realized that he had made a mistake and could only shut up.
"There is no need to persuade me. I will personally go and decide on the border issues. I will ask my father for orders tomorrow."
Zhu Sha couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, it's okay if you don't take me with you. At least bring Nie Lei. He has a good brain and can help you..."
Xie Xun shook his head and refused.
He wanted to go to the border, partly because the border was in a hurry, but also because...
He wants to escape.
Yes.
escape.
Xie Xun thought it was ridiculous. He had never been afraid of anything or anyone in his life, but now he couldn't wait to escape from Kyoto.
Escape from this place where traces of her are everywhere.
When he sees Zhu Sha, he will think of how she outsmarted wild beasts, personally rescued Zhu Sha, and overthrew the bandit stronghold in Qu County;
When he sees Nie Lei, he will think of her giving advice on his father's birthday, saying with a smile that Nie Lei is an honest person, and that at the birthday dinner, she was high-spirited and brave enough to fight;
When he sees Gu Meiren, he will think of her pestering Gu Meiren to sing the unattractive Eighteen Touches. There are two women, one is beautiful and the other is enchanting, like a pair of twin flowers;
But now...
Gu Meiren no longer played the piano or sang. She put away those enchanting clothes, dressed in white, and stayed vegetarian all day long...
In the palace, the stares in the corridors, the arguments in the garden, the angrily whipping in the bedroom...
Xie Xun never knew that she had already integrated into his life without him knowing it.
Every minute and every place in this palace is filled with her presence;
Walking to the streets of Kyoto, there are shops with Du's logo hanging at regular intervals. The red silk at the door was removed, and the plain cloth hanging on it almost stung his eyes...
When no one was around, Xie Xun always looked at the moon and couldn't sleep all night long.
Failure to love is pain;
What about loving and knowing yourself, but then losing the one you love?
What is it?
Xie Xun finally understood that that was...
I am alive, but it is better to be dead; I want to die, but I am greedy for the little traces she left; I feel the traces she left, but it is like a wound that cannot be healed, being torn open and tortured by this trace repeatedly, and...
