Chapter 47 Happy Hall
Chapter 47 Happy Hall
Xiao Yan's hands are not soft to the touch like Lingzhi's hands.
Xiao Yan's fingers were strong and slender, at first they wrapped around Lingzhi's palm, but felt that it was not enough, intertwined with Lingzhi's five fingers in a gesture that could not be ignored, interspersed with fingers.
The white jade belt that was untied in front of Lingzhi's clothes fell loosely to one side, and her stomach was relaxed, but her back was tightly and seamlessly leaning against Xiao Yan's arms.
At this moment, Lingzhi pursed her lips and tightened her little face in the posture of being hugged and sitting in the arms of a man.
The cool and cold fragrance penetrated into his nose and lungs all-pervasively, Xiao Yan didn't speak, her warm breath slowly fell behind Lingzhi's auricle, Lingzhi was sensitive, and after a while half of his left ear was like a lump Ruddy jade.
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and stared quietly, holding back his smile and not breaking it.
Lingzhi was thin-skinned and resisted him, if she laughed at him, she would not be half-pushed like this now, and would sit obediently in his arms.
Xiao Yan enjoyed the rare moment of tranquility, and wanted to rub the boy's belly with his palm, but his body in his arms was tense, so he finally gave up.
Lingzhi was probably really overstretched, digesting food slowly, feeling listless, and lacking energy.
Seeing that there was still a short distance to the Grand Master's Mansion, Xiao Yan fastened Ling Zhi's belt with his fingers lightly. The young man opened his wet and confused eyes and stared blankly at him.
After a long while, Lingzhi stretched out his hand and hurriedly covered the belt that Xiao Yan had fastened for him, not understanding what Xiao Yan was going to do.
Xiao Yan asked someone to stop the carriage, and said with a smile: "This place is not far from the mansion, get off the car and walk a short distance back, and treat it to digest food, otherwise you will have difficulty sleeping tonight due to food accumulation."
Lingzhi sat still, Xiao Yan took the lead out of the chariot.
The man lifted the bead curtain with his slender fingers, and extended a hand in his direction, with a very patient and tolerant look.
Lingzhi turned his face away, staring at the quiet long street through the floating veil, the carriage didn't move, he waited for a while, and finally had to slowly climb down from the chariot, without touching the palm that Xiao Yan offered.
The night was like water, and there were no pedestrians passing by except for a few small stalls here and there.
Red lanterns are hung under the eaves along the streets and alleys. The red color is festive, and there is a bit of quiet and hazy beauty floating across the bustling and bustling far away.
Lingzhi walked slowly, he lowered his head and did not look at the person walking in front, and kept a distance from the beginning.
Xiao Yan's eyes fell on the Qingshi Long Street illuminated by the moonlight, and a shadow shorter than him followed behind the taller one hesitantly.
He stopped, Lingzhi didn't look at anyone, the shadow of the shorter one bumped into the shadow of the taller one.
……
Lingzhi: "..." I don't understand why Xiao Yan stopped when he was walking well.
The young man pursed his lips, walked around Xiao Yan silently and walked forward by himself.
Xiao Yan smiled, followed behind him at a leisurely pace, the two of them didn't speak, they just walked quietly one after the other on Qingshi Street covered by moonlight, until they walked back to Taishi's Mansion.
Director Liu looked at the young master who walked into the meditation courtyard without saying a word, and then saw the smile on the corner of the master's mouth, he seemed to be in a good mood.
When the master went to pick up the young master, his face was still so gloomy, it would be good if he just came back now.
Manager Liu hurriedly asked: "Master, can I still have dinner with the young master? The meals are all ready."
Xiao Yan smiled lightly: "Don't bother him."
Jingsiyuan, as soon as Lingzhi entered the house, the little servant brought hot water to follow.
"Young master, do you want to take a bath?"
Lingzhi fiddled with the jade-white belt with her fingers, and nodded absently.
He took off the light and soft coat, and untied the knots around the belt with his fingers. After a while, fine sweat dripped from the tip of his nose.
Lingzhi pulled up the knot on her belt, bit her lips tightly, and was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yan just didn't know what kind of knot he tied his belt, which was different from the knot tied for him by the little servant in the past.
He was in a hurry to tear off the belt, but unexpectedly, although the belt was made of thin, light and soft pearl silk, it was extremely tough, and his strength alone could not tear the belt.
Lingzhi huddled in the seat and focused on tying the knot with the belt. The little servant brought the water basin into the room, hurriedly put down the bathing utensils, trotted to the front of the seat and half knelt down, and said softly: "Let the servant come .”
Lingzhi was depressed, staring blankly at the little slave's fingers.
After a while, the boy Hei Lingling looked suspiciously at the little servant, who laughed and sweated a lot.
The two looked at each other, and the little slave hesitated and said: "This... who tied the knot on the belt, it's different from the knot I tied this morning..."
Lingzhi lowered her eyelashes, but she didn't say that it was Xiao Yan who hit her.
There was warm water vapor wafting from the tub, and the incense floated, Lingzhi was a little distracted.
The little servant said softly: "Slave, go ask Manager Liu."
Not waiting for Lingzhi to come back to his senses to stop him, the little slave found Mr. Liu and told him that the young master's belt could not be undone.
Manager Liu rubbed his ears, as if he didn't hear clearly.
"I can't untie the belt..."
Inexplicably, the boss's eyes were somewhat unpredictable.
He thought: "Wait a minute, I'll talk to the master."
The little servant was at a loss, why the little prince couldn't untie the knot in his belt, so he had to report it to the Grand Master?
But he is just a little slave, he listens to whatever the boss says, and waits obediently.
So Lingzhi didn't wait for the little servant or Manager Liu to come over. He heard the movement, opened his sleepy eyes, and stared blankly at the man who walked in.
Why is Xiao Yan here?
Xiao Yan had already bathed, and the soot-ashed light shirt covered Lingzhi's head with a cold fragrance and refreshing breath. A pair of slender fingers landed on the belt knot that Lingzhi had beaten to death, and tried it out. Still pretty tight.
Lingzhi looked at the half-squatting man in front of him, he was lying still, even though he was sitting on the couch, he was barely at eye level with the half-squatting man.
……
……
Her pursed lips moved, Lingzhi said: "You deliberately tied a knot for me."
No resentment can be heard, the words are faint.
Xiao Yan explained: "This knot is beautiful, but it is a bit complicated to tie, but it is not a dead knot."
Lingzhi stopped talking.
Xiao Yan smiled and said: "Untie it for you first, the water will be cold in a while."
In the end, the knot tied by the belt was untied by Xiao Yan calmly. Seeing Lingzhi jumping down and sitting down like a rabbit, he didn't stay long.
Lingzhi was soaking in the warm water, looking at the changed clothes, just now she was avoiding Xiao Yan like a eager rabbit, but now she was wilting again, lying limply on the edge of the bathtub, unable to cheer up.
************
The next day was fine, and Lingzhi couldn't get up as early as before.
The little servant brought the water and waited quietly without disturbing his sleep.
Manager Liu came twice and saw Lingzhi sleeping, and did not disturb her according to the master's instructions.It's just that the master is about to fall, and Lingzhi has not yet regained consciousness.
Those who didn't know it thought what happened to the master and the young master last night.
The master looked radiant in the morning, his brows and eyes glowed brightly, and he looked completely different from the past master.
In the meeting hall, several veteran officials saw that Grand Master Xiao looked very good today, and they were all masters at adapting to the wind, so they turned the conversation to Xiao Yan.
The news that Xiao Yan had hugged a young man in the street before had spread in the court, so everyone knew that Grand Master Xiao was not cold-faced and cold-hearted. In this regard, he was like an ordinary man, who likes beauty and loves her beautiful woman,
So taking advantage of this momentum, he talked about Xiao Yan's marriage again.
The old minister first strongly recommended a certain daughter of Shangshu, and praised Shangshu Qianjin and Xiao Ni as a match made in heaven, she is a talented woman and beautiful, and they are well-matched. If they can form a marriage, it will be excellent for both public and private.
There are also veterans who simply opened their faces and introduced their own daughters who have not left the cabinet.
The meeting hall seemed to be a large-scale kissing scene, and the smile on Xiao Yan's face did not change. The little emperor roughly pondered the meaning of the grand master for a while, cleared his throat, and stopped the old officials from thinking about kissing.
It was nothing more than a discussion in the court, and when the court was over, several veteran officials seized the opportunity to surround Xiao Ni one after another, and they did not give up on the marriage.
In the final analysis, it was the fact that Xiao Yan embraced a beautiful woman in the street that boosted their confidence. They had the intention of getting closer to Xiao Yan. .
Seeing this group of veterans answering the words one by one, Xiao Yan sat on the Hua chariot and waved his hands leisurely and comfortably.
"My wife's character is savage and extremely possessive. If I know that I want to take a concubine, I'm afraid I will feel sad, and it will only make me feel bad."
Several old officials choked together.
Xiao Yan said: "I pity him and cherish him, and I hope all the elders will not mention this matter again."
"..."
When Xiao Yan's chariot returned to the Grand Master's Mansion, his attitude and words were spread in the court. In a short time, the people in Yancheng heard that the Grand Master had a savage personality, possessiveness, and Tai Shi The teacher felt sorry for him and loved his "wife".
The little servant who waited on Lingzhi also heard about this. He looked at the young master who was described by everyone as "savage" and "possessive". At this moment, the young master was as beautiful as a fairy who does not touch the fireworks of the world, sitting in the viewing pool Look at the painting books in the pavilion next to it.
Young Master's brows and eyes are clear and soft, as if bathed in the holy light, he doesn't make the slightest sound when he flips the book, how does his obedient appearance have anything to do with "savage personality"?
The little servant was aggrieved for the son.
Sensing the abnormality of the little servant, Lingzhi put the book on her lap and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
The little slave was blunt and couldn't help saying: "My lord, the people outside are talking nonsense."
Lingzhi: "Huh?"
Although the little servant is afraid of being punished by the grand master, he has been subdued by the young master since he served the young master. This is the most gentle and good-looking master he has ever served.
He said: "The people outside all say that you have a wild personality, they don't know anything!"
Lingzhi: "Ah..."
The little servant was still angry, but Lingzhi smiled with crooked eyebrows.
The slave said: "Young master, aren't you angry?"
Lingzhi flipped through the books and shook her head: "Why are you angry, they can't harm me."
Moreover, he has lived in Wuqing Mountain for a long time, and he has a little experience with some people's sophistication.
Those who are always called good and honest people are sometimes easy to be bullied and taken advantage of.On the contrary, those who have a bad reputation, often no one dares to chew his tongue behind his back, let alone provoke and bully him in front of him.
But they don't seem to be really evil people, at least Lingzhi has never heard of them doing things that were criticized and despised in the village, and as for the vile things about them, they don't know how they got out.
Those "wicked people" were sick and injured, and when Lingzhi gave them herbs, anyone who saw Lingzhi would be polite.
Lingzhi looked at the little servant quietly and obediently: "So those who have a notoriety are not necessarily bad people, but this notoriety may protect that person."
The little servant said nothing, sitting on the small stool and slightly looking up at the young master, his eyes suddenly became moist, but his face blushed quietly.
The young master is usually quiet, and he is often in a daze, as if a fairy descended to the earth does not understand the sufferings of ordinary people, but the young master actually told him such a profound truth,
The little servant blushed and looked admiringly: "My lord, you are so amazing."
Lingzhi pursed her lips and smiled, he wasn't that powerful.He used to be half-aware of these principles, but later he was ignorant, and told Jun Qian, and Jun Qian taught him gently with his arms around him.
Thinking of Junqian, Lingzhi was in a daze.He didn't have the heart to turn over the book again, and the servant sitting on the small stool in front of him suddenly retreated respectfully and cautiously.
Lingzhi turned her head, and the man behind her was wearing a dark purple and luxurious court dress, her jet-black hair was tied under the nine-panel crown, her long eyebrows were raised slightly behind the bead curtain, and her eyes were deep on his face.
With smiles on his eyes and lips, Xiao Yan walked leisurely behind him, across the pavilion railing, with both arms resting on the railing behind Lingzhi, looking from a distance, Lingzhi seemed to be sitting and being hugged by Xiao Yan from behind inside.
The man's cold fragrance faintly scattered in front of Lingzhi, and Lingzhi moved away slightly, not moving closer to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan asked: "Does Lingzhi think that I am a complete villain?"
Given Lingzhi's resentment towards him, it was useless for Xiao Yan to ask. In Lingzhi's heart, he must be a bad person who does all kinds of evil and makes things difficult for others.
These were all said by Lingzhi himself.
But just now, what Lingzhi said to the little slave just now gave him thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Xiao Yan never pretended to be a good person, he wanted to stabilize the little emperor's country, without the shady methods he did in the dark, how could he get the peaceful and prosperous world that everyone sang praises on the bright side.
The little emperor's clean country was brought back by him with his hands stained with blood. After so many years, Xiao Yan has long been used to being feared by everyone. The softness that hadn't completely disappeared was gently touched by Lingzhi, and she asked without thinking.
Xiao Yan knew Lingzhi's answer well.
Lingzhi turned her face away, Xiao Yan's eyes fell on the back of her head facing her, sighed faintly, and said with a smile: "I guess I asked an extremely stupid question."
Lingzhi didn't wear any shoes, and ran away with the painting book in her arms,
Xiao Yan propped his hands on the pavilion railing, lowering his face slightly.
Half of his handsome face was in the shadows, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and smiled in the direction Ling Zhi was running away from, picked up the other's dropped shoes and followed.
Lingzhi curled up in a depressed mood, the soft cushion was wrinkled by him.
He wanted to call Xiao Yan a bad person just now, but he stopped abruptly.
If it was the original Lingzhi, whenever Xiao Yan hurt the forest animals in the mountains, hurt the big tiger, and even killed the long-tailed blue bird, he would tremble with anger and call him bad without hesitation.
Since he came to Yandu City, he had seen some pets raised by others while shopping.
Only then does Lingzhi realize that her way of getting along can't be set on people.
After all, as a Ganoderma lucidum, everything is his friend.It can be seen that people do not cherish pets all the time.
Those rich kids would tease them when they were happy, but if they got bored, they would just ignore them, and sometimes they wouldn't even give them a bite of food.
Stray dogs in the city will also be chased and beaten with sticks and stones.
Not everyone will treat small animals as kindly as his Ganoderma lucidum.
They and their friends, however, in the eyes of many people, may be nothing more than a wild dog and wild cat, and there is always a difference between humans and animals.
Killing one or even a group of wild beasts is not surprising to humans, and Lingzhi was born with completely different concepts from them.
When Lingzhi comprehended similar truths, she always felt sad and tired for a few days.
Later, he heard from Mei Ruobai about Xiao Yan's rescue and treatment of absenteeism, and also knew that Xiao Yan had abolished the law of Huolian Nine Clans before, so he gradually didn't want to say anything.
Xiao Yan did something bad that went against his ideas, and even deceived him, but if he stood in the position of an ordinary person, it didn't seem to be worth the sadness.
There is no complete black and white, Lingzhi doesn't want to know these things, but under the influence of time, he gradually realizes various hidden truths.
So he kept silent and didn't want to talk to Xiao Yan.
Intellectually, every time he thinks about it, he still can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Lingzhi didn't go out of the room all afternoon, she took a nap in the afternoon, and when she woke up, it was dark.
It was late in the evening, and the little servant brought dinner into the house, and opened the windows to let the cool wind from outside flow into the room.
"My lord, let's have a meal. Today the cook has boiled a soup with eight precious treasures. The servant could smell the smell before he even entered the back kitchen."
Lingzhi was not in a high mood, and ate dinner a little out of control.
After nightfall, Lingzhi sat behind the window to enjoy the cool breeze. He was lying on the desk and drowsy, waking up from time to time, and when he woke up again, there was still darkness in a certain direction.
Lingzhi's clothes were sweating thinly, and he walked out of the room with soft steps, wanting to go to the pool to play in the water.
At this moment, there was no one in the Jingsi courtyard, his mind drifted away, and he turned in the wrong direction along the corridor.
When I looked up, a small attic appeared in front of my eyes. The red lanterns flickered quietly, and the door was not locked.
Through the dim screen window, he seemed to see something.
Lingzhi hesitated and wanted to turn around and leave, but the evening wind suddenly blew violently, and the door cracked open.
He reached out his hand and pushed it in a strange way, and a red and warm wedding hall quietly appeared in front of him.
Lingzhi's erratic eyes fell on the two wedding dresses, one big and one small, her face was slightly pale, and she turned her head to leave.
The man walking behind was very light but did not allow Lingzhi to break free, holding his thin wrist,
Xiao Yan smiled and said: "You finally saw this place, why don't you go in and have a look, it's all the things I left for you."
