The lady's smile suddenly froze on her face, and the movements of her hands suddenly stopped.
Jin Yunlan's face instantly turned ugly, and the chopsticks were easily broken in her hands. She exhaled anger from her nose and asked in a low voice: "Do you have to speak so ugly?"
Jin Yunchong continued to pick up vegetables and eat with a calm expression, "Eldest sister was only trained in Mr. Zhao's class, but she forgot all about Mr. Zhao's reprimands in the blink of an eye. She has such a good memory."
Facing his sarcasm, Jin Yunlan couldn't bear to show weakness, and said with a cold expression: "No matter how bad my memory is, I still have a good brother who will remind me."
Jin Yunchong sneered: "Others who have been scolded by their teachers will inevitably be scolded by their parents when they return home. Why is the eldest sister different from others? Not only does she not repent, but she also has big fish and meat to serve her." At this point, he said
He glanced at his mother who looked solemn.
"That's enough, Chong'er! I asked Lan'er to come for dinner, and I also prepared this meal. If you have any objections, you can complain to me, why bother ridiculing your eldest sister. She finally came here..."
Before the lady finished speaking, Jin Yunchong was already furious. He stood up and shouted: "She is not your biological child. Why do you always favor her? Or do you fancy her status in the eyes of your father?"
, so you just blindly please and flatter me. Mother, don’t be stupid, no matter how nice you are to her, my father will not care about you any more!"
The lady was shaking with anger, her face suddenly turned red, and she reached out to give him a slap.
Jin Yunlan quickly grabbed her wrist.
Jin Yunchong looked at his mother's raised hand, his eyes full of grievance and anger. He looked at Jin Yunlan, who had a gloomy face, and Xiu Xiu, who was frightened, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists, lowered his eyes and whispered sadly.
: "You are all just like Xiaoxiao, you will always revolve around her." After saying that, he walked away angrily.
The madam let out a sigh of relief as if she had been through a big battle. She fell down on the chair, and it took a while for her pale face to recover. She added helplessly, "I think Chong'er has reached the age of rebelliousness. You
Don't get along with him."
Jin Yunlan nodded with a complicated mood.
After that, the atmosphere between mother and daughter was relatively harmonious. The younger sister's tenth birthday was coming soon, and the wife was planning to buy something for her, and asked her to go shopping together on the public holiday next month.
Jin Yunlan touched her little sister's head lovingly, then opened her mouth and agreed.
After lunch, when she returned to her room, the waves in her heart were still unsettled, and she sat at her desk and kept wandering.
A cat meowed through the crack in the door. She turned her head and saw that a cat's paw had pressed against the corner of the door. With a "squeak", a fat but agile figure jumped in nimbly. It raised its head,
He frowned and arched his nose, smelling its familiar scent in the air.
Following its breath, it walked gracefully toward Jin Yunlan, not forgetting to say hello to her.
"Meow~"
"Come Xiaoxiao." Jin Yunlan waved to her, and Ren Xiaoxiao twisted his neck and rubbed her palm hard. She picked up its round body, put it on her knees, and gently combed its brown hair.
Xiaoxiao slowly closed its lazy cat eyes, lay lazily on her lap and quickly fell asleep.
"Xiaoxiao really likes Miss, I think she knows you are her savior." Yuanyuan walked in and said.
Jin Yunlan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and the stroking movements did not stop. "It is a cat raised by little bugs. It should not be left in my yard."
Yuanyuan picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea, "It just doesn't want to go back to the young master. I sent it back several times, but it always ran back. It's not our fault." She stretched out her hand to take Xiaoxiao away, leaving Jinyun behind.
Lan was studying hard at the table.
That night, she studied the spell until late at night, trying to find clues to its origin. However, the spell had been lost for many years, and there were only a handful of written records, so it was hard to find a solution.
The candle in front of her eyes gradually dimmed. She picked up the lampshade and stirred the sleepy wick, and the flame immediately jumped up.
She opened the window and admired the watery moonlight for a while. Suddenly, she remembered the first quarter moon she saw through the window of Li Zhi's room last night, and the lustful ink blue in his eyes.
It was as if someone had dug a big hole in the box of thoughts, and what poured out were not only worries, but also vigorously growing emotions.
I obviously haven't met him a few times, and we haven't had many good moments together, but I always think of him from time to time.
She finally felt the weight of her eyelids. After blowing out the light, she dreamed wildly all night until dawn.
Soon, the day of registration for the autumn exam came.
Early in the morning, when the sky was dark, Jin Yunlan got up and went to the school field with his sword.
She figured it out the night before.
If you want to be the leader of the clan, you need to gain the trust of the people of Luo City and have the power to protect the city before you can compete. Jinyun College holds a competition every autumn. She has failed in previous years, but this year she decided to participate. She wants to take this opportunity to express her gratitude to the clan leader.
The whole city proved her strength."
When registering for the autumn exam today, a crowd of people gathered around the school grounds, crowding the registration desk and scrambling to sign in their names.
Jin Yunlan gritted her teeth and squeezed into the airtight crowd, and finally reached the forefront, shouting her name hoarsely amidst the waves of sound.
"Jinyun clan, Jinyunlan, register for the autumn examination."
Her voice was like a wave of waves surging outwards, gradually drowning out all the noise from the inside out, turning the scene into silence.
After a while, whispers started to sound.
"The eldest lady also wants to take part in the autumn exam? Hasn't she always been dismissive of it?"
"It's no fun to fight a woman. Besides, she's a daughter of the clan. Who will be responsible if she's broken?"
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down a lot due to Jin Yunlan's participation, and the dense crowd began to disperse in pieces.
At this time, someone in the crowd raised a hand and said in a cold voice: "Jinyun Clan, Jinyun Chong, sign up for the autumn examination."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's tone changed again.
"Young Master Jinyun also signed up. The two siblings are competing in the ring. It seems that this fall they will inevitably witness a scene of fratricide."
"Although Miss Jinyun is very powerful, the young master has also made rapid progress recently. The masters in the swordsmanship class and the magic class have all praised him. I really can't say who will win and who will lose."
Jin Yunlan noticed Jin Yun Chong's challenging look towards her. She felt uncomfortable in her heart. It wasn't that she was being pretentious and didn't want to fight with her brother, but the tense atmosphere between the two of them became more and more intense.
, she felt sad.
When did the relationship between them get so bad?
But no matter how heartbroken she was, she would never back down and give up the victory to others for the sake of her brother-sister relationship.
She responded to his gaze with her head held high, walked up to him, her eyes were bright, and her tone was firm: "I look forward to fighting you, and I will do my best."
Jin Yunchong raised the corners of his lips, rubbed the scabbard with his fingertips excitedly, and said in a dangerous tone: "Elder sister, please be careful. If you are careless, you will lose your life."
Jin Yunlan's expression moved slightly, but she still tried her best to maintain her composure.
In the morning, she had a magic class and a swordsmanship class. Xiao Chongzi's swordsmanship and magic skills had indeed improved a lot, much better than a year ago. Even she marveled at his astonishing growth rate, and felt a little anxious for a while.
If this continues, it may be difficult to secure victory in the autumn examination.
Xiao Chongzi has made his position clear. If he becomes the leader of the Jinyun clan, then the Li clan may never be able to get ahead.
So no matter what, she must win the first place and win this first battle.
She needs to find someone stronger than her to be her opponent.
It's a pity that my father is busy with family affairs and has no time to spare time. The elders of the family are also selfless and will never help for personal gain.
She is close to her uncle. The eldest elder in the clan is the strongest person in Jinyun. If she can get his guidance, she will get twice the result with half the effort. However, he has never liked her, and he is always full of advice when they meet. He seems to value Xiao Chong more. Xiao Chong has been there since he was a child.
I had to teach him personally and learned a lot of skills secretly.
But I heard from my father that the elder went out on inspection and he might not be able to come back for another three to two months.
She sighed in distress, unable to do anything.
In the afternoon, she went non-stop to visit the clan consul and express her condolences to the empty nesters.
Old Mrs. Li had a melon field that needed someone to take care of it. Jin Yunlan rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs and worked enthusiastically in the field all afternoon. The old lady didn't complain when she saw her working hard, thinking it was a good seedling, so she pulled her
He asked her directly if she would marry her grandson who was working outside the country.
Jin Yunlan smiled dryly and declined.
In the evening, the old lady cut open a watermelon for her and took her to sit on a small bench at the door to chat with her next door neighbor.
Before leaving, the old lady picked a few bunches of lychees from the tree and gave them to her, hoping that she would come back to help her when she was busy farming.
This shrewd old lady made good calculations.
However, for the sake of these lychees being juicy and delicious, she reluctantly agreed.
"I know, grandma."
When dusk fell, the streets were already much deserted, but the restaurant was actually in full swing, with noisy voices and the sounds of clinking dishes and wine glasses coming from inside.
Jin Yunlan originally planned to go home directly, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and ran straight towards the hills outside the city.
Due to the closed barrier, the Kongshan Mountains looked like nothingness. Once it was late at night, it was difficult to detect its existence. She passed through the secret passage, quickly flew up the mountain, and landed in front of the dense forest.
There was smoke rising from the houses deep in the dense forest. She always felt an inexplicable intimacy towards them, so she couldn't help but get closer and pity them.
She picked up a bamboo leaf, put it in her palms, and recited the term silently.
She let go of her hands, and the bamboo leaves floated from her palms towards the other end of the bamboo forest and into Li Zhi's home. It jumped on Li Zhi's right shoulder and jumped twice. Li Zhi noticed it and turned around to look for it.
It playfully hid behind him, waiting for an opportunity to jump up on his left shoulder and tickle his ear with the tip of its leaf.
Li Zhi remained silent, but his eyes quickly moved to the left, and he caught a glimpse of a slender green shadow from the corner of his eye. He quickly reached out to grab it, but unexpectedly, the bamboo leaf was so dexterous that it slipped out of his hand against his palm prints.
It was a little distance away from him, and in front of his face, it kept bending its soft body back and forth, as if a person was leaning forward and back with a smile on its waist.
Live like someone.
Li Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly before he was about to catch him again. The bamboo leaf floated out from in front of his eyes. He did not follow immediately, and the bamboo leaf stayed in the air, waiting for him. After a long stalemate, he had no choice but to get up and follow
Follow that naughty bamboo leaf all the way to the forest. This chapter has been completed!
