Early the next morning, Jin Yunlan disappeared into Kongshan. Not even Li Zhi, who was in the same room with her, noticed when she left.
Just following his usual habit, he went for a walk in the forest, but he felt a sense of loss in his heart.
He was surprised at the sudden appearance of such a mood. He had heart palpitations for no reason, which must have been due to his slackness in practice recently. Jin Yunlan barged in without saying a word, disturbing his usual routine. He had not practiced to the fullest for two days.
Four hours.
At this time, he secretly vowed to make up for his previous slackness. Without saying a word, he went to the darkroom under the ancestral hall to practice. He sat cross-legged on the futon and tried to concentrate for a moment, but he always resisted.
I can't help the turmoil of my thoughts.
He opened his eyes, filled with unstoppable impatience. He simply stood up, picked up the Li Tan sword hanging on the shelf, and rushed into the bamboo forest menacingly.
The long sword was unsheathed, and the purple energy that filled the area around the sword was also beating blindly. This sword energy echoed the state of mind of the person holding the sword. It was obvious that his restless mood at this time infected the always stable sword heart.
He swung his sword irritably, and the sword's reckless and clumsy aura was like a bucket of water being thrown out, without any of the sharpness of the past.
He tried the sword a few more times in disbelief. The sword energy was like boiling water, which was not only difficult to control but also scalding hot.
He turned his wrist angrily and thrust the sword into the ground. His palms were numb from the sword energy. He regretfully complained: "I shouldn't have asked her to sing that song."
Jin Yunlan suddenly felt a sense of resentment coming from afar. Unexpectedly, she sneezed violently while the teacher was speaking impassionedly.
The teacher's loud teaching voice stopped abruptly, and his old but wise eyes slowly turned to her face like the shadow on a sundial, silent but unable to hide the gloom in it.
He gently tossed the book rolled into a circle towards the podium.
Jin Yunlan's heart skipped a beat.
The classmates in the classroom held their breath and stared at her with teasing and sarcastic looks.
"Miss Lan, come on, stand up." Although the teacher addressed her as "Miss" respectfully, his tone showed that he was arrogant and unafraid of power.
Jin Yunlan stood up and shouted with a bright smile: "Mr. Zhao."
The teacher twirled his gray goatee and squinted his eyes as if calculating something. After a while, he seemed to have a clear understanding, opened his eyes and said: "Miss Lan, you took my class at the end of last month, and it has been eighteen years since then.
God. Excluding the days during public holidays when I didn’t teach, you showed up in class five times in total. Three of them, you were late and left early. Is it because my classes were too boring and boring that Ms. Lan was so intolerable that she couldn’t even sit quietly?
Is it also difficult to maintain?”
A deep and deep voice like an ancient bell rumbled through the classroom, and every word filled with anger hit Jin Yunlan's heart without any bias.
Jin Yunlan denied it flatly, "No, no, no. Sir, the lectures you taught were lively and interesting. When the disciples listened back, they all felt that they benefited a lot. After returning home, they even had sex with their father several times."
"Are you just pretending to be a roasted chestnut?" the teacher pointed out with a cold expression.
"No, no, no, we discussed it several times." Jin Yunlan immediately changed his mind and said smartly: "If sir, you want to eat fried sugar and chestnuts, after the class is over, I will go run errands for you."
The teacher habitually "smashed it" with his mouth, as if he smelled the fragrant and sweet smell of chestnuts. After realizing the rudeness, he coughed lightly, quickly regained his cool expression, and said: "Miss Lan thinks that my class is useful,
But you are still absent for many days. I think there is only one reason. It must be that Miss Lan is very talented, and you are already familiar with the knowledge I taught you. The questions in this book are not difficult for you, so I will give you a test.
"
"Ah, no, no, no, my disciple has little talent and little knowledge. How can he withstand such serious questioning from the master? When the disciple has achieved success in his studies, then..."
The teacher ignored her excuses and asked a question that unexpectedly hit the mark: "Miss Lan, if you were the patriarch of a clan and accidentally found out that your ancestor had done something evil and it was about to be revealed, how would you deal with it?
?”
When Jin Yunlan heard this well-timed question, her heart trembled. The teacher's penetrating gaze seemed to see through her. If she hadn't acted in a low-key manner and didn't reveal any tricks, she would have really thought that the teacher already knew about her.
What he did secretly, and he deliberately asked this question to point her out.
She calmed down and replied solemnly: "I will explain the matter to my tribe, gain their trust, disclose the crimes of my ancestors, take the lead in apologizing to the injured party, and then lead the whole tribe to make amends and appease the injured party.
"
The teacher couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard her say such arrogant words. During this period, he raised his breath several times but it was blocked in his throat. When his face turned blue and purple from holding in his breath, he became extremely angry and shouted loudly.
"Extremely stupid!"
Jin Yunlan was awarded zero points for her first class defense in the administration class.
In front of all the disciples, Mr. Zhao severely reprimanded Jin Yunlan for her disobedience to discipline and her own way of doing things. Then he sighed earnestly that she really had no talent for governance, saying that her vision was too narrow and her realm was shallow.
She looks at problems as if she were peeping out of a tube, and does not pay attention to the overall situation. No matter how much she learns, she will never be able to achieve success. He also said that she was a female prostitute who fought and killed all day long, was arrogant and violent, and was not decent.
The gentleman was very eloquent and criticized her as worthless in a few words. In his words, he also did not forget to accuse the patriarch of being too arrogant to her and not teaching her the ordinary way of raising a daughter. Therefore, he did not say anything about such an unworthy daughter.
He said it in a taboo way, and I think he was extremely angry.
Jin Yunlan's face was livid, but in line with the principle of respecting teachers, she did not refute his face. Otherwise, with her eloquence, she would have to retort and damage his teacher's face. Besides, Master Zhao is famous for his donkey temper, so don't treat him like a charlatan.
The old man was so angry that he lost all face and wiped his neck. So he could only swallow the bad breath on his own.
What troubled her was that her husband was so indignant at her answer. He had been a lecturer in the administration class for more than twenty years. His educational philosophy represented the most orthodox attitude in Jinyun.
His public opposition to her ideas meant that the Jinyun Clan Association would also criticize her opinions.
What she wants to do goes against the wishes of most people in high positions. This situation was captured in what Li Zhi said last night. It seems that this deep-rooted thought will not be resolved in a day or two. She needs to be patient and persevere.
yes.
She dejectedly carried the large amount of homework that Mr. Zhao had specially assigned for her and left the classroom.
Jin Yunchong passed her by with his sword in hand without saying a word. A surge of heat also flashed past her. He must have just had a swordsmanship lesson.
She stretched out her hand to stop him, but swallowed her words as soon as they reached her lips. Seeing his increasingly broad back becoming increasingly difficult to approach, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
She returned home with her book on her back and counted on her fingers that she had not been home for five days. The doorman was not surprised when he saw her return.
Students from Jinyun Academy often go out to seek adventures. Three to five days is relatively quick, and a year or two is not a problem. Therefore, she often travels abroad. People who don't know the truth don't know exactly whether she went out to play.
Let's go do serious things.
Having said that, Senior Brother Bai Tan has been going to Junmei Mountain for not even a year but half a year.
She remembered that a year ago, Senior Brother Bai Tan proposed to her, but she rejected him on the grounds that he "didn't like people weaker than him". In anger, he went to Junmei Hanshan to practice hard, vowing to break through the bottleneck and become a master.
Come back with all your skills, defeat her, and then ask to marry her.
Thinking of this, Jin Yunlan laughed secretly, shook her head helplessly, and stepped into the door with the book in her arms.
At this moment, a carriage carrying the scent of temple thread stopped at the door.
The lady got out of the car with her little daughter Jinyunxiu.
Jin Yunlan immediately stopped and bowed his head to say hello to his mother.
When Xiu Xiu saw her eldest sister, she immediately smiled away, opened her arms and ran towards her, calling her sister like a little sparrow.
Jin Yunlan picked her up, weighed her, and tapped her little nose affectionately: "It's heavy."
The lady also came forward and scolded her affectionately: "You kid is so busy all day long that you don't even know how to come to Jialan Courtyard to see me. You haven't been back for four or five days, so where are you going?
Already?"
Jin Yunlan was speechless for a moment, hesitating and talking about a place to go.
The lady was not suspicious and took her to eat in her yard. Jin Yunlan was thinking about her homework and wanted to refuse. Xiu Xiu had already pushed her to Jialan Courtyard with a smile on her face, "Sister, just come.
It’s been a long time since you came to Jialan Courtyard.”
When she was old enough, she and her mother lived in separate courtyards. After having her own courtyard, she spent much less time with her mother and younger siblings.
Jin Yunlan had nothing to do with this little girl, so he still followed her.
Food has been placed in the dining room. Jin Yunchong is waiting in the hall. When he sees her coming, his relatively happy expression suddenly turns from sunny to cloudy.
The lady covered her mouth and smiled back: "Okay. Today is a really good day. It's rare that everyone is here. Come on, take a seat."
The four of them sat down, with the sister and brother sitting on either side of the lady, and Xiuxiu sitting on the outermost edge next to Jinyunlan.
Jin Yunlan could squint and see Jin Yun Chong's head and face covered in lawsuits. He recalled the quarrel between the two of them in front of his father five days ago, and they broke up unhappily. At this time, they had not yet recovered from their emotions.
Thinking of her brother's cold face when he said those words, she still remembers it fresh and shudders.
The delicious food on the table temporarily eased the awkward atmosphere. During this period, the lady kept picking up food for Jin Yunlan and ordering her to eat this and that.
She kept sending delicious delicacies to her mouth one after another, and she couldn't even find a chance to say thank you.
Xiu Xiu saw her sister's cheeks bulging with food and laughed non-stop, "My sister looks like a squirrel."
The lady couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and kept rubbing Jin Yunlan's back to help her swallow smoothly.
Jin Yunchong, who had been silent all this time, saw this scene and said very disappointedly: "We are not the real mother and daughter, why do we need to act like a mother and daughter who are deeply in love? It's hypocritical." This chapter has been completed!
