A few days later, the Buddha's injury healed, and everything in Qingpingtang remained as usual.
The sunshine in the afternoon was a bit sluggish, accompanied by dense clouds, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm lake surface, leaves fell, and rain poured down.
Yan Zhen returned in triumph this time and made great achievements. Emperor Rong wanted to promote his official position, but the title of general had reached the top. When he asked him what reward he wanted, he never thought that he would set his sights on the academy and ask for Mr. Zuiyuntang.
After hearing the news, Mr. Chen, who had taught at Zuiyuntang for many years, just shook his head, cursed "your grandma" and consciously packed up and returned to his hometown.
Yan Zhen was relieved of his heavy responsibilities this time and could rest for a while.
Today is an important moment for him to take office. To show the importance, everyone in the academy is waiting enthusiastically inside and outside the academy gate. From inside to outside, the elders in charge, teachers and students, maids and servants are arranged in hierarchical order, all the way to the woods. And that
Since the top sedan appeared in the public eye, it has been surrounded by people. Everyone squeezed their heads to get up to get a glimpse of the scene. Although most of the female students were blocked from the crowd, their enthusiasm remained undiminished and they raised their heads and exerted themselves.
Looking out, they naively thought that as long as they were glanced at by General Yan, they might be remembered by him. That way they would turn around and become nobles!
It's a pity that Yan Zhen never took a serious look at them since he entered the main entrance of Qishan Academy. He was leaning against the window, his face was rosy and his neck was soft, and his peach blossom eyes were half open and half closed. Everyone knew that he was sleepy.
.
Su Yan stood behind the crowd and looked at Yan Zhen from a distance, then glanced around the students who were immersed in beauty, and couldn't help but lament: "It's because Rong Guo has so many vulgar people that he has become so vulgar!"
The nymphomaniac female students gathered around and chirped, vaguely sounding like they were saying:
"It will be a waste of time to see the true face of the great general in my lifetime!"
"Yes, looking at the entire country of Rong, and even the entire world, who can compare with the general? No matter in terms of battle record or appearance, they are all top-notch!"
The female student who spoke first quickly echoed: "It would be great if I could come to our Yuesheng Hall, so that I could see the general every day."
"The general is the God of War in the hearts of the people and the most powerful person in the country. With your appearance, it's better not to have any wishful thinking."
"How good-looking you think you are, you don't have one nose and two eyes!"
"What did you say?!"
"What's there to argue about?" The female student who had been watching their argument stopped her. "The general didn't come here just for you. I heard he came to the academy because of a woman."
"Who is that for?"
"How do I know? I heard that he is from the academy, but I don't know if he is a gentleman or a student!"
A gust of cold wind rose from the ground, and the beaded curtain of the sedan rolled up in the wind. Someone saw a broad sword standing in the sedan, which was held by the general. Everyone who saw this scene took a breath of cold air and said softly:
"This is... Qinghong Sword!"
Yan Zhen opened his eyes suddenly, and those murderous eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, instantly making these female students who spoke freely shut their mouths.
Seeing this scene, Su Yan smiled helplessly, left the yard and went to Lesheng Hall.
Leshengtang is hidden in the dense woods, standing on the mountains and stacks of rocks. Stepping up the ten steps, there is a stone door. The stone door is embossed with a picture of flying immortals. Two female fairies hold the door knocker with both hands and pull the door open.
They are serious, no different from the statues of gods in the temple. Behind them is a beast kneeling on all fours. It looks ugly and extremely scary. The forelimbs of these two beasts are tied with iron chains to the waist of the female fairy. At first glance, they think this beast is
It was the female fairy's mount, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the beast had a ferocious face, and it was looking at the female fairy and salivating, as if it was about to devour her at the next moment. This scene was both beautiful and weird, and made the hairs on Su Yan's body stand up.
On both sides of the stone steps were streams winding down, leading directly to the bamboo forest of Qingpingtang. Su Yan did not dare to stay longer and pushed the door open. In an instant, a paradise of wonderland unfolded before his eyes.
The clouds are rolling in the sky, and moss and flowers are everywhere under your feet. There is a gravel path between the flowers and grass, and at the end is the main hall of Yuesheng Hall.
The gate of the good school was full of smoke. It looked like a flying fairy, but it looked like the style of Yunlai Pavilion. Su Yan thought about it as he continued to walk in. Xilou followed her at some point and said to her: "
I just caught a glimpse of you, it seems that you are among the crowd welcoming the general, why don't you go to the summer resort to attend the reception banquet? All the female students in the academy are there!"
Su Yan turned to look at him and said disdainfully: "Only those group of nymphomaniacs in the world want to meet him all day long! How can I, Mr. Shu Youtang, be compared with them? You are too underestimated, Su."
It’s gone!”
Xilou touched his head in embarrassment and said, "I saw that you had a half-day spell in front of the door, and I thought you were also fascinated!"
Su Yan gave him a big eye roll and strode forward, shouting loudly: "I've passed the age of love long ago. Now I just want to be my husband. It's their business to be a nymphomaniac when others do it."
, I’ll just do my part!”
Xilou chased after him and said, "I heard that Yan Zhen was originally going to continue to station in Xiguan. He came back this time for a woman. I wonder who this woman is. She can actually invite the great General Rong Guo."
Su Yan glanced at him with disgust, "So you are just like those street people, and you love to listen to gossip?"
"Your reaction is too extreme, and it's not you who's talking about." He raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest.
Su Yan stretched out his index finger and poked his shoulder: "I hate women with long tongues the most in my life. If you still want to drink and play with me, you have to keep your mouth shut and clean your heart. Don't do nothing all day long.
Make irresponsible remarks. Furthermore, when Yan Zhen came to the academy, it was understandable that the group of nymphomaniacs were excited, but you also came to mix in, why did you do that?"
Xilou was at a loss when he was told, and quickly explained: "It was just a casual chat. Maybe I heard too much, so I couldn't help but ask."
Su Yan said angrily: "You shouldn't ask me then. I'm not the one who asked Yan Zhen to come to the academy. How could I know!"
Xilou glanced at her secretly, "You are very angry today. Who provoked you?"
"No one messed with me. I just can't stand it. They are all people who have nothing to do when they are full. I am fine. I am dedicated to my work and meticulous. I don't think about romantic matters at all!"
"Well, Mr. Su is really extraordinary and unique." He nodded in agreement.
Su Yan stopped while walking, recalling Xilou's words of praise, and her heart was filled with excitement. The forest was full of flowers, dotted with little reds, which fell on her face, turning a warm red.
She chuckled: "Well, I'm just an ordinary person. I have an average appearance and an average literary talent. I'm pretty good at boxing and kicking. What you said, haha, I really deserve it."
Xilou pushed aside the tree branches in front of him and walked into the woods, "You deserve it, just carry it alive!"
She hurriedly ran up and asked, "Are you here to see Mr. Jin?"
"Jinyun City has never interacted with me, and Wanchaofang has not had any new treasures for the school to distribute recently. Why should I come to her? I just heard that this is the only place where epiphyllums are planted in the entire academy. I came to pick a few.
Go back and plant it in the backyard."
Su Yan was pleasantly surprised: "What a coincidence, I'm also here to pick flowers this time, but I'm a bit more vulgar than you, I'm just giving them away!"
"To whom?"
"Buddha, she has just recovered from a serious illness, and she feels happy after adding some bright colors to the room." She stopped in front of a strange-shaped tree. No matter how she looked at it, she found it ugly. She patted the trunk and said with disdain, "This pine tree
It looks so weird, you think such a perfect person like Jinyun City can tolerate the entrance of the gate and plant such a tree!"
Xilou looked at the banyan tree next to her and couldn't help but doubt his understanding of the pine tree for so many years. He pulled a leaf and threw it on her face, laughing at her: "Ayan, you don't even know the Rongguo tree.
Not too…”
Su Yan wanted to save face, pointed at the banyan tree and shouted loudly: "She is a pine tree, even if the king of heaven comes, he will still be a pine tree!"
Xilou held his waist and laughed non-stop. Su Yan couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand to persuade him: "It's almost done. Do you blame me for not being well-educated? If my master hadn't been lazy and didn't teach me knowledge, I would have been embarrassed here!"
"
Xilou finally held back, patted the tree trunk, and taught the tree a serious lesson: "Why do you think you are so thin when you have nothing to do? It's better now, people have misunderstood you!"
Su Yan did not show weakness: "It's just that it's really misleading to be so thin for nothing! Just like you, I thought you were a child of some aristocratic family, but after a long time, you turned out to be a proton. Protons are rare these days!
"
Xilou was very surprised by her words, and then said calmly: "Since you don't see me often, then you can see me more often in the future."
Su Yan was very annoyed by his abruptness, and in order to lighten the atmosphere, he added: "How many people are envious of you because you are prospering in Rongguo, and you have a confidante like Fo Zhen..." Su Yan hurriedly shut up.
, I scolded myself so hard in my heart.
"You misunderstood. Fo Zhen and I have only known each other since childhood. We have no connection."
"No fate or destiny? But Buddha treats you..."
He stood under the tree and looked at her silently: "There are many people in the world who think that they will develop feelings after knowing each other for a long time, but that is not love at all."
Su Yan looked at him blankly, "What is that?"
Xilou patted her forehead and said with a smile: "Just like you and Zuo Qing, just like Jin Guan and Sun Ziliang, their relationship is closer than ordinary people." He tilted his head and said meaningfully: "But
You and I are different, we are destined by fate, don’t you think we have known each other before?”
Su Yan hurriedly took a few steps away and said in panic: "I'm warning you not to hit me!"
Xilou smiled and shook his head, strolling towards the epiphyllum group at the foot of the stone mountain.
Su Yan stared at his back blankly, his words 'déjà vu' lingering in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time.
From then on, Su Yan always had the illusion that every time he saw Xilou, it was like meeting an old friend, and he felt at ease when he was with him.
At that time, she didn't know that he was the only person she trusted and relied on besides her closest relatives.
Su Yan lay awake all night, and all he could think of was the man standing in the sea of flowers, just like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the master hanging on the tree, waving to her.
When she woke up the next day, Su Yan went to Shuyoutang with a chicken coop and two black eyes. On the way, she met Fo Zhen and yawned and said hello. Fo Zhen seemed to be in a good mood. He arranged her hair for the first time and held a handkerchief in the lake.
He wiped her face and tidied up her clothes. Although she didn't smile at all during the series of actions, she could be considered friendly compared to the past few days. Su Yan was moved by his actions.
She was so frightened that she woke up a hundred times. She thought she hadn't woken up, so she scratched her ears hard. She grinned in pain and said, "I thought it was a dream. This is the first time I see you so close."
Fo Zhen put away the veil and said, "You and I are all alone in this academy. From now on, we can move around more."
"Move around?"
Fo Zhen put the veil in her hand, but she did not let go of her hand and still held it lightly: "Don't believe anyone in Qishan Academy. If you encounter trouble in the future, come to me."
The sun was shining, the lake was colorful, the wind was soft, and the birdsong in the distance came, as if someone was singing softly, singing into her heart. Su Yan felt that she was very happy today, the weather was good, the people were good, it was such a good day,
It seems that it has become so wonderful to face those students who are caught with their teeth.
After Su Yan left, Fo Zhen's face suddenly fell, and he looked stupidly at the South Lake, watching the fish passing by, and the pale sky.
"Elder, is there any medicine that can make people forget about love?"
Zeyuan raised his eyes and said in a rough voice: "Do you want to..."
He smiled bitterly: "I should have given it to her a long time ago, but if I put it off until now, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
"Oh...it's just that I haven't tried this medicine with anyone else, so I'm afraid it may have side effects..."
"What's the problem?"
Zeyuan handed him a crystal clear medicine bottle, "I will forget you completely, and only remember the most mundane things, the most important and unforgettable things, and I will never leave a single trace of you.
"
He chuckled again: "I think Xilou just pities her, and there shouldn't be any unforgettable experiences."
Xilou woke up from his sleep, dragged his heavy body to the window, and was lost in thought for a long time. He could no longer remember the first time he saw Buddha. It was probably in the palace, and she seemed to be hiding behind Ayan.
I can't remember her appearance clearly, I just remember that the wind that day was the same as now, with the smell of willows. Ayan said to him: "Look, this is my sister, does it look good?"
He just tilted his head and glanced, but only Ayan's proud look remained in his eyes.
Xilou took out the porcelain bottle from under the pillow and poured the pills into the palm of his hand. When he asked for this medicine from Zeyuan yesterday, he was clearly determined to make her forget it, but now, he couldn't do it.
Just wait, maybe as time goes by, her feelings for him will fade...
