As soon as Duan Yu said this, Meng Xiuyuan was fine, but Wang Yuyan was a little unhappy at first.
She was afraid that Duan Yu's words would make Meng Xiuyuan dissatisfied with Mantuo Villa and Mrs. Wang, so she couldn't help but frown slightly and said softly to Duan Yu:
"Mr. Duan, my mother does have a bad temper. She offended you the last time we met.
But that was only because you broke into my Mantuo Villa secretly and broke the rules.
Mr. Meng saved my life and is a rare hidden master in the world. If he wants to come to the village as a guest, my mother will definitely not be rude to him..."
Duan Yu couldn't help but panic when he heard the reproach in Wang Yuyan's words. He quickly waved his hands and shook his head, trying his best to explain:
"Miss Wang, you misunderstood me. I never meant to discredit Ling Ci or prevent Brother Meng from going to Mantuo Villa..."
As he spoke, he quickly turned around and made up to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Brother Meng, I just made nonsense, please don't take it to heart.
The scenery above Taihu Lake is extremely beautiful. The water is covered with lotus leaves. Among the clear waves, the green leaves are covered with green leaves, which is extraordinary.
The Mantuo Villa is full of camellias, you must go and see it!"
When Meng Xiu saw Duan Yu looking like this, he couldn't help but smile to himself and didn't pay much attention.
Thirty years later, the impression in his memory has become blurry. Meng Xiuyuan really can't remember too many details about what kind of person Wang Yuyan's mother was.
However, this does not affect Meng Xiu's trip to Langhuan Jade Cave.
The soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, and a Mrs. Wang is not a big deal to Meng Xiuyuan.
So when faced with Wang Yuyan's question, he answered calmly:
"Miss Wang, the matter is actually very simple.
I went to Mantuo Villa because I wanted to visit the ‘Langhuan Jade Cave’ in your home and browse the martial arts there.”
Wang Yuyan was stunned when she heard the words, and she was a little embarrassed in her words:
"This...Mr. Meng's martial arts are so superb that he already has no rivals in the world.
Come to think of it, browsing martial arts is just for reference.
It’s just that my mother is personally in charge of the Langhuan Jade Cave, so I’m afraid I can’t be the master…”
Wang Yuyan really didn't expect that by opening her mouth, Meng Xiuyuan violated the taboo of people in the world and actually wanted to go to other people's homes to learn their skills. In other words, she was well-educated and well-educated, so she could still maintain a gentle tone when speaking.
.
Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly at the sight and explained to Wang Yuyan:
"Miss Wang, please don't misunderstand me. I went to borrow it from the Langhuan Jade Cave, and I have already obtained the approval of its real owner."
"The real owner of Langhuan Jade Cave?"
When Wang Yuyan heard this, she didn't understand what Meng Xiuyuan meant. The Langhuan Jade Cave has been in her home for so many years. Who else could be the owner besides her mother, Mrs. Wang?
Meng Xiuyuan nodded and said seriously
"Yes, the owner of Langhuan Jade Cave is your grandfather, Wu Yazi, the former head of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Ten years ago, he promised me that I could freely visit his collection of books in the Langhuan Jade Cave."
Meng Xiuyuan didn't lie to the little girl when he said this.
In the Valley of Deafness and Mute, Wu Yazi had indeed promised Meng Xiuyuan that he would let Meng Xiuyuan study and see the martial arts collections he had obtained back then.
Now it is reasonable for Meng Xiuyuan to visit the house to read books. Even if Mrs. Wang does not welcome him, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
"My grandfather Wu Yazi? I have never heard my mother mention it..."
Wang Yuyan was a little confused when she heard this.
However, after hearing what Meng Xiuyuan said, she didn't feel like asking any more questions. She immediately bowed to Meng Xiuyuan and then replied respectfully:
"What Mr. Meng said is certainly not wrong.
Please wait a moment, sir, let’s go to Tai Lake to find a small boat and set off immediately.”
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this and thanked lightly. But Duan Yu on the side was stunned and subconsciously said to Wang Yuyan:
"Miss Wang, is it too early to go looking for a boat now?
Didn’t we promise Abi a long time ago that we would accompany her to Wuxi City for a walk and buy the ‘Rose Zongzi Candy’ that she has been craving for a long time?”
A Bi has a gentle temperament and thinks that her status as Murong Fu's maid is not enough, so from the moment she met Meng Xiuyuan, she listened respectfully and did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, when he suddenly heard Duan Yu mention her, he couldn't help but trembled, and hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"Ah, Mr. Duan, it doesn't matter whether I buy the rice dumpling candy or not, don't say anything.
If Mr. Meng’s important affairs are delayed because of me, a little girl, then I can’t bear it..."
Abi was anxious, and her words inevitably contained the soft language of Wu Nong from the Jiangnan water town, which was quite pleasant to the ear.
However, her mood at this time was not as beautiful as her own voice.
Abi still remembers that encounter more than a month ago.
At that time, Meng Xiuyuan rescued her and A'Zhu. A Bi only thought that she had met a handsome young knight, and she didn't think there was anything special about it.
After hearing from Wang Yuyan that Mr. Meng's martial arts skills were superb, even surpassing her own Mr. Murong, Abi was still a little unconvinced and secretly complained about how Miss Wang always spoke for outsiders.
But later, not long after Meng Xiuyuan and Qiao Feng left, the two young monks from Tianning Temple ran back to them and asked for help. They said that Meng Xiuyuan had forced his way into the temple alone and was fighting those Xixia warriors, and begged them to help.
Meng Xiuyuan, don't let him lose his life in vain.
Hearing this, the four people were unable to save anyone, but they could not withstand the begging of the two young monks, so they had to sneak into the vicinity of Tianning Temple to try to act according to the situation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the temple, they smelled a strong smell of blood and saw many heroes from the Beggar Gang busy carrying out the corpses and prisoners of Xixia Yipintang.
After asking in detail, I found out that Meng Xiuyuan had taken down all the nearly 100 Xixia Yipin Hall masters in this temple with his own strength.
Then they heard from the two young novices that Meng Xiuyuan took action against these Xixia people in order to seek justice for their master and brothers who died in vain. For a while, the three girls all admired Meng Xiuyuan's character and martial arts.
From this time on, Abi had both respect and fear for Mr. Meng. For several days and nights, she dreamed of the horrific deaths of those Xixia masters. When she woke up, she could not help but pray secretly in her heart, hoping that her son
Never make an enemy of such an unfathomable peerless master in the future.
So now, Duan Yu suddenly said such a thoughtful word, which only made Abi feel a lot of pressure. If she hadn't been naturally gentle and quiet, she would have been tempted to go up and cover Duan Yu's mouth.
But because Duan Yu understood Meng Xiuyuan's easy-going personality, his thoughts were very different from A Bi's. He still refused to give up and said very seriously:
"Miss Abi, you don't have to worry, Brother Meng is a good man and won't care about these little details.
You live on Taihu Lake, so it’s not easy to go out on a boat, so it’s easier to buy everything before going back.”
As he spoke, he smiled slightly at Meng Xiuyuan and confirmed:
"Brother Meng, am I right?"
Seeing Duan Yu's ignorant look, Abi became more and more anxious. Her delicate face was already a little red, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, Wang Yuyan, who was standing by, noticed Abi's embarrassment, frowned and said to Duan Yu:
"Mr. Duan, you are acting stupid again.
In order to buy a few pieces of candy, you neglected Mr. Meng, didn't you put Abi on the fire to roast him?"
"Ah... is it so serious?" Duan Yu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Wang Yuyan would be angry with him because of this matter.
Meng Xiu on the side saw this situation and couldn't help but smile and said:
"Miss Wang, Miss Abi, you don't need to be like this.
Brother Duan is right, let's go shopping together and it won't matter.
I want to go to Langhuan Jade Cave to read a book, but I am not in a hurry at this moment.
Furthermore, I’ve never heard of that ‘rose rice dumpling candy’, so I’m quite curious about it.
Miss Abi, if you buy it then, you have to give me two pieces to try."
When Wang Yuyan and Abi heard what Meng Xiuyuan said, they couldn't help but feel very surprised. They never expected that Meng Xiuyuan, a peerless master, had no airs of a master and was so easy to talk to.
Especially Abi, she knew that Meng Xiuyuan's words were meant to take care of her and give her a way to step down. She couldn't help but feel very grateful to Meng Xiuyuan in her heart and hurriedly leaned over and bowed.
In this way, the four of them no longer hesitated and headed straight to Wuxi City. While it was still early, they went shopping in the city market together.
At the beginning, because of Meng Xiuyuan's peerless master filter, Wang Yuyan and Abi were very careful and polite when talking to him.
But after a while, the two girls soon discovered that Meng Xiuyuan was really an easy-going person who was easy to talk to. Although he was not as willing to flatter and please the two girls as Duan Yu was, he was willing to work with them.
They chatted and laughed, just like ordinary friends.
When it was getting late, a group of four people left the market and came to the edge of Taihu Lake. The two girls had become somewhat familiar with Meng Xiuyuan, and they were much less cautious and restrained than before.
There happened to be a Murong family boat out by the lake to buy. Abi immediately stepped forward and said a few words to the boatman, and then commandeered the boat. She asked the boatman to go ashore, and she personally rowed the oar to carry Meng Xiuyuan and the others toward the lake.
Cross out the middle.
After the boat left the shore, Abi began to look hesitant and pursed her lips to cheer herself up for a long time before she mustered up the courage to speak bluntly:
"Mr. Meng, Miss Wang, have been burdened by my chores. It's getting late now, and it may be too late to go to Mantuo Villa.
Why don't you go to my 'Qinyun Xiaozhu' nearby, rest for the night, and let me make some side dishes for you to try..."
Wang Yuyan was fine after hearing this, but she just looked at Meng Xiuyuan's face. Meng Xiuyuan smiled, nodded and said "Excuse me", without any sign of displeasure.
Seeing this, the uneasiness that had been simmering in Abi's heart for a long time gradually dissipated, she relaxed, and there was a smile on her face.
While boating on the lake, as far as the eye could see, I saw vast mist and vast water, with the water reaching the sky in the distance, it was like a beautiful scene in the world.
Wang Yuyan and Abi had long been accustomed to the scenery of Taihu Lake, and they found it strange. But Meng Xiuyuan and Duan Yu both took a slight breath and looked at the surrounding lake in trance.
After a while, Duan Yu suddenly spoke to Abi:
"Miss Abi, the last time I came here, I heard you singing on the boat and I felt like it was like fairy music.
Why don't you sing today? Is it because I don't have the ear to listen?"
A Bi's face turned slightly red with embarrassment when she heard this, and she complained to Duan Yu:
"Master Duan, please stop talking nonsense.
I just like to sing some ditties casually when I'm rowing, but I can't call it fairy music.
Mr. Meng is on the boat now, and I dare not disturb his purity."
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, not wanting to be disappointed because of himself, and deliberately smiled at Abi:
"I'm also quite curious after hearing what Brother Duan said.
Miss Abi is born with a beautiful body, so she must have a nice singing voice."
Abi heard that Meng Xiuyuan said the same thing, so she couldn't refuse. She could only say shyly to Meng Xiuyuan, "You don't sing well, Mr. Meng, don't laugh." Then she cleared her throat slightly and sang:
"On a good day in the second society, in the courtyard of thousands of families, I saw the two flying swallows again. The phoenix nest is a safe neighbor, how late is it to come with the smoke of Xiaoxiang? I wander into the red building, fly low to the green bank, the painted beams flicker in the song dust. For whom are you returning? For whom are you coming?
?The master’s kindness is so great.”
His singing voice is delicate and innocent, joyful and moving, and his voice is extremely sweet and clear, which makes people feel indescribably comfortable when listening to it.
After the song ended, Duan Yu listened in a daze, while Meng Xiuyuan was thoughtful, looking at Abi slightly lost in thought.
Abi couldn't help but feel a little shy when Meng Xiuyuan looked at her like this, and said softly:
"Mr. Meng, am I not good at singing?"
Meng Xiuyuan suddenly came back to his senses after hearing this, smiled and shook his head, stood up and walked to her side, reached out and took the oar from her hand:
"I'll row for you, you can take a rest."
When Abi saw this, she couldn't refuse, so she had to smile and thank Meng Xiuyuan, walked to the front and sat next to Wang Yuyan.
In this way, Abi pointed the way, Meng Xiuyuan paddled, and the boat meandered on the lake, passing through the maze of lotus leaves.
After a while, many water chestnut leaves and red water chestnuts appeared on the water. Among the clear waves, the red water chestnut and green leaves were extremely bright.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Abi picked red water chestnuts from the water and distributed them to everyone. Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan was paddling inconveniently, she deliberately peeled off the hard skin of a few red water chestnuts and picked them again.
I took a lotus leaf, washed it, put the peeled red water chestnuts in the lotus leaf, and carefully placed it next to Meng Xiuyuan, leaving him to taste it when he had time.
When Meng Xiu saw Abi like this, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. After taking a look at her, he then became thoughtful and his eyes were complicated.
Duan Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw Meng Xiuyuan's appearance, and joked to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Brother Meng, I originally thought that you should be the kind of person who pursues martial arts wholeheartedly and has no worldly mind.
Now it seems that this is not necessarily the case.
It turns out that Brother Meng likes gentle and elegant Jiangnan girls like Miss Abi.
It’s right to say that Miss Abi is so gentle and delicate, as if she came out of the poems and articles of the past, it is indeed love at first sight..."
Hearing Duan Yu's words, Abi's cheeks turned red again. After a moment of panic, she turned to look solemn and said to Duan Yu seriously:
"Master Duan, you are just making fun of me.
But what kind of person Mr. Meng is, how can you ruin his reputation?
I am a little girl, even if I practice ten more lives, I will not be so lucky...
If you tell such jokes again, I will ignore you from now on."
Duan Yu saw that Abi was really angry, so he quickly shook his head and waved his hands to show that he meant no harm, but it was too late. Even Wang Yuyan, who had been silent on the side, looked at Duan Yu with a slightly reproachful look.
Meng Xiu couldn't help but smile when he saw this situation, and then explained aloud:
"I misunderstood, I have no other intentions for Miss Abi.
But when I looked at her, I somehow suddenly remembered a friend from before."
As soon as he said this, the three people on the boat were a little surprised. Among them, Wang Yuyan was the first to ask:
"Are Mr. Meng's friends also from Jiangnan?"
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and said with some emotion:
"No, she is a mixture of Han people and Hu people from the Western Regions. She is far from Jiangnan.
It's just that she and Miss Abi do have a lot of similarities.
The singing is so nice, and the person is so gentle and considerate, always taking good care of me..."
At this point, Meng Xiuyuan paused, as if a vague and familiar voice came to his ears, calling him "Young Master, Young Master".
When the three of them saw Meng Xiuyuan's appearance, they were all stunned. None of them had thought that this peerless master, Mr. Meng, actually had such a side.
After a moment of silence, Abi suddenly spoke softly and asked:
"Mr. Meng, where is the friend you mentioned now?
Are you back to the Western Region, too far away to see us again?"
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he nodded and said:
"Yes, it is indeed far away, and I probably won't see him for a long time.
There are many other friends who are like her.
Unfortunately, I was in a bit of a hurry to pursue a higher realm of martial arts.
When I was leaving, I didn't even have time to say hello to them. It's really not good..."
Seeing Meng Xiuyuan like this, the three of them didn't hesitate to ask more questions, and all of them remained silent.
But in their hearts, they were all very emotional, secretly sighing that Meng Xiuyuan had cultivated his martial arts to a level that was almost invincible at a young age, but now it seems that it was not without sacrifices behind it.
…
After rowing on the lake for more than an hour, I saw a corner of the cornice exposed among the green willows in the distance, which was the Qinyun Villa where Abi usually lived.
Abi took the wooden oar and rowed the boat straight into the willow shade. When she got close, she saw a wooden ladder made of pine branches hanging down to the water.
Everyone climbed ashore one by one and saw four or five scattered houses, built on an island or a peninsula. The houses were small and exquisite, and quite elegant. The word "Qin Yun" was written on the plaque of the small house.
The writing is chic and unrestrained.
Abi returned to her home, in a light mood, and sang a ditty involuntarily. But as soon as she sang a few lines, Meng Xiuyuan reached out to stop her and said, "Shut up."
When Abi was at a loss, she saw Meng Xiuyuan pointing at the Qinyun Building and said seriously:
"There are people fighting in your hall, so I think there must be an uninvited guest.
Let me go take a look for you first..."
With that said, Meng Xiuyuan strode towards the house.
Abi was stunned when she heard this, but when she saw Meng Xiuyuan walking in front, she felt very at ease. She immediately took Wang Yuyan's hand and chased after Meng Xiuyuan's back together.
As soon as everyone entered the hall, they saw several broken tables and chairs. There were two people in the hall, one standing and one falling. It was obvious that the winner had been decided in the fight just now.
"Brother Feng Si!"
Abi and Wang Yuyan couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the ugly man lying on the ground. So with just one glance, they recognized that the man was Murong Fu's retainer Feng Po evil.
Meng Xiuyuan looked at the monk standing in the hall, couldn't help but smile, and said hello:
"King Ming, farewell to Tianlong Temple, we haven't seen each other for a long time.
I never thought I would meet you thousands of miles away."
When Jiumozhi saw Meng Xiuyuan opposite, he was obviously not in a good mood.
His body trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, and clenched his slightly trembling hands, with an expression on his face that was hard to describe.
"Mr. Meng, we are really destined..."
One chapter is 5k2, I will write a little more to make up for it a little bit.
I'm really sorry for asking for leave yesterday.
I will think of ways to take as little time off as possible in the future.
