Chapter 43 Children in the Umbrella
Chapter 43 The Little Friend in the UmbrellaAfter
an incense stick of time, Chao Jianxue had not read a few pages of the book absent-mindedly, and someone came to invite them outside the door, saying that they would be taken to see Mrs. Ying.
Since they were visiting someone's home, they had to be polite. Chao Jianxue straightened her clothes in front of the mirror, tied her hair again, and smiled at her handsome self.
Then she asked Yu Wei: "How is it?"
Yu Wei said carefully: "Very good."
After leaving the door, the disciple of the Ying family who came to lead the way hurried over to hold an umbrella. Chao Jianxue had never lived such a life as a young master, so he was a little embarrassed. After all, he had hands and feet, so he retreated and held an umbrella with Yu Wei -
although Yu Wei still held the umbrella, he left with a clear conscience.
"You two are distinguished guests from Zhongchangtian Wuwei Sect. To be honest, the third young master was in a bad mood these days, but when he saw you two, he smiled as much as a flower." The disciple who led the way said.
Chao Jianxue asked casually, "Why is your Third Young Master Ying in a bad mood?"
The disciple said, "The eldest lady and the second young master have gone to catch monsters. The third young master also wants to go, but his cultivation is still shallow. Madam doesn't agree to let him go, so he is angry."
Chao Jianxue understood Ying Liuzheng all of a sudden. It turned out that they were in the same boat. He knew too well this desire for power and adventure.
The umbrella brim tilted towards his head again, and Chao Jianxue's eyes darkened a little. He turned his head to look at Yu Wei, and half of his shoulder was wet.
He stretched out his hand to hold the umbrella handle, which just happened to be on the back of Yu Wei's hand, and straightened the umbrella.
He was moved and said in a voice transmission, "Little Junior Brother, you don't have to be so considerate!"
Yu Wei: "..."
The spiritual energy of Mengdie Manor is actually not as abundant as that of Wuwei Sect, but it wins in the scenery. The scenery changes with every step, and the pavilions and pavilions are all beautiful. It is less exquisite than the ones in Xizhou Youmeng Sanqiandu, but more elegant.
If you grow up here without worries about food and clothing, and are willing to be a salted fish, why bother to cultivate immortality?
But from what the disciple said, the three young masters of the Ying family are not salted fish, and they all have a positive heart.
They walked through the winter garden, and the drifting snow replaced the rain line, falling on the umbrella.
Chao Jianxue looked out, and there was a deep snow pavilion in the snow scene. Behind the pavilion stood a courtyard with a separate door, but the gate was closed, and even the lanterns were not lit, which looked very bleak.
"What is that place?"
The disciple replied, "It is the former residence of Miss Xiange."
It turned out that Miss Xiange was the sister of Ying Liuzheng's father. At that time, the position of the head of the family was supposed to be passed to Ying Xiange, but she died unexpectedly, and the Winter Garden Villa where she lived has never been opened again.
"Death by accident? Sickness?"
The disciple was obviously a little embarrassed and shook his head: "No. Two or three hundred years have passed. At that time, I had not come to Mengdie Manor. I only knew that Miss Xiange was killed by a demon. At that time, the demon tribe came to the manor and killed people, and also attracted evil spirits. If it were not for the help of several real people, Mengdie Manor might have been destroyed."
It was another tragedy of being killed by a demon. Chao Jianxue quickly glanced at Yu Wei. The latter did not show any emotion, so he was relieved and quickly stopped the topic.
The strange thing is that although this winter garden is a lingering snow scene, the body does not feel cold at all. Chao Jianxue thought that if the magic of the four seasons is placed in Qingxuezhu, would he still be afraid of practicing physical skills shirtless in winter.
Going forward, it is the main hall where they are to be led.
Ying Liuzheng was waiting outside and came to greet them happily: "The master of the house is not here today, it's my mother who wants to see you. I have told her that you are going to Yiyezhou, she knows where it is!"
After lifting the tinkling beaded curtain, Ying Liuzheng said happily: "Mother, my friend is here!"
"You kid, don't walk so rashly..."
Through the beaded curtain, Madam Ying's green-dressed figure sat upright, her hair was meticulously combed, and she didn't wear any extra jewelry. From her voice, you can tell that she is a dashing female knight.
Chao Jianxue and Yu Wei stood outside the curtain. When Madam Ying lifted the curtain and came out, Chao Jianxue smiled and said: "Junior is bothering Madam."
Yu Wei also bowed respectfully.
It should have been a harmonious scene, but somehow, the air had a subtle sense of stagnation for a moment.
Madam Ying's eyes fell on Chao Jianxue's face, and the smile on her lips suddenly froze. Ying Liuzheng, who was beside him, also felt the unnaturalness of her body and asked with concern: "What's wrong, mother?"
Chao Jianxue was also surprised and thought that there was something wrong with her movements, but when she looked at Yu Wei, she saw that the way he saluted was the same as his.
However, this subtle unnaturalness soon passed. Madam Ying smiled and said, "Liuzheng has caused trouble for you."
"No, the third son of Ying has a lively personality and is very talkative." Chao Jianxue flattered her son, and Ying Liuzheng smiled even more happily, while Yu Wei frowned.
Then, Madam Ying asked a few questions about their master in Wuwei Sect, and then talked about Yucong Yiyezhou.
"The Ying family has a deep connection with the Yu family, but unfortunately the Yu family closed the entrance to Yiyezhou a hundred years ago. It may not be easy for you to enter Yucong Yiyezhou."
"Whether it is easy or not, we have to go there to know. Please show us a clear way, madam." Chao Jianxue said.
"Today is the waxing moon, and it is in the north of Luohua Valley, deep in the mountain spring stream."
It turns out that the appearance of this boat is related to the phase of the moon. If there is no one who knows the way, they will really have to spend a lot of effort.
After drinking tea with Mrs. Ying, she asked Chao Jianxue alone: "Where are you from?" Ying
Liuzheng, who was standing next to him, pricked up his ears and his eyes were bright.
Is his mother going to ask for him...
Chao Jianxue didn't want people to know his relationship with Qishan, so he concealed it: "I was born in Wuwei Sect since I was a child."
"Wuwei Sect is famous and a good place for cultivation." Mrs. Ying nodded, "What month were you born?"
Ying Liuzheng was sitting on pins and needles, and his face gradually flushed. Suddenly, he found that Yu Wei was looking at him expressionlessly, with a cold face, not at all like his bright senior brother Chao Jianxue, and he didn't know what it meant.
Chao Jianxue only said: "Winter month." He didn't know which month it was.
Madam Ying looked at him again and said with certainty, "Is it the late stage of Jindan?"
"Yes." Chao Jianxue smiled proudly.
After he went out, he hid under Yu Wei's umbrella. Suddenly he remembered something and asked in confusion, "Why do you only ask me and not you?" Obviously Yu Wei seems more worthy of asking!
He deliberately looked at his waist: "Where are those lotus tassels that you usually wear? Why are they all put away?"
Yu Wei whispered, "I'm afraid of losing them when I go out, so it's better to put them away."
Seeing Chao Jianxue's heartless look, his voice became even lower: "Madam Ying asked so many questions to my senior brother just now, I don't know what it means."
"Junior brother." Chao Jianxue paused and looked at Yu Wei seriously with a serious expression.
Until Yu Wei's eyes were evasive, he smiled brightly: "Thinking about so many things all day long, how tiring it is. Remember a saying, when the enemy comes, the general will stop it and when the water comes, the earth will cover it. Don't worry too much."
A smile appeared in Yu Wei's eyes, and then he tilted the umbrella towards Chao Jianxue without a trace.
This time, Senior Brother didn't notice and walked forward in a very good mood.
Yu Wei felt that there was nothing wrong with Senior Brother.
It's just...
"Brother, is your birthday in Dongyue? I haven't heard from you and Master."
Chao Jianxue didn't care much: "Birthdays are just a formality. I don't want to celebrate. What about you?"
Yu Wei said: "June 1st."
However, birthdays in Xuanzhen Realm are somewhat special. Most people celebrate birthdays once every ten years.
June 1st.
Chao Jianxue was happy: "Little friend."
Although Yu Wei didn't understand the meaning of the words, when he heard these three words with a smile, an irrepressible feeling spread from the bottom of his heart. He was so excited that his ears turned red.
The rain curtain was dense, like an airtight wall, enclosing their world into a small square.
Ying Liuzheng reluctantly watched the two people go away by the window, and immediately turned around and asked: "Mother, have you discovered my feelings..."
After all, she was just beginning to fall in love, and it seemed like she was about to bite her tongue when she said it out loud.
Madam Ying held her forehead and sat in her original position without moving, her brows furrowed, as if she was very worried.
Ying Liuzheng: "Mother..."
"Liuzheng, go and pinch the incense." Madam Ying ordered.
Ying Liuzheng then obediently went to cut the incense sticks, and the faint sandalwood scent spread in the room.
He was still thinking about that matter, and walked to her side shyly; "Mother just saw..."
Madam Ying raised her head solemnly and said in a sharp voice: "I know what you want to say, mother only tells you one thing, don't even think about it."
As if he was slapped twice, his head was buzzing, and Ying Liuzheng was stunned.
"Why..."
"No reason, just listen to me."
The surprise faded away, leaving only anger. Ying Liuzheng said stiffly, "Son, take your leave", and then turned around and ran out. He
even blocked the boy who came forward to hand over the umbrella.
He ran hurriedly all the way, and then ran into his own yard, just as Xue and Yuwei just walked to the corridor to collect their umbrellas.
Ying Liuzheng panted heavily, and when he saw Chao Jianxue turned to look at him, he swallowed all the words he wanted to say.
The pale rain curtain made Chao Jianxue's face more beautiful, just like the red iris he cherished, so beautiful that it was beyond description. When he cast a concerned look at him, he felt that no matter how heavy the rain was, it was nothing.
"Young Master Ying San, is there anything else?" Next to Chao Jianxue, Yu Wei's calm and pale face squeezed into Ying Liuzheng's sight. Ying Liuzheng came back to his senses, calmed down, and shouted: "No. Tomorrow I will go with you to find Yiyezhou!"
Chao Jianxue was delighted, that would be great.
"Thank you!" He smiled and bowed.
Seeing this smile, Ying Liuzheng immediately threw away all the grievances and confusion just now. He fell in love with Senior Brother Wuwei Zong Chao at first sight. Even if his mother disagreed, as long as the two of them could communicate with each other, who would care about anything else.
Yu Wei took one last look at Young Master Ying San who was standing under the eaves of the door, and closed the door expressionlessly.
With a "click", the lock on the door fell lightly.
Chao Jianxue asked, "How is your cultivation recently?"
Yu Wei shook his head, "It's lean and slow."
"Look, I said I would come. It's up to you to practice, and it will take a long time... Well, I just hope that the people of the Yu family will be more polite and reasonable tomorrow."
Chao Jianxue kicked off his shoes, hastily cast a cleaning spell on himself, and began to take off his clothes very casually.
Yu Wei turned his eyes away and listened to Chao Jianxue's chattering, "If you are willing to give it, everyone will be happy. If you are not willing, then let's try to steal it? Or just stay on Yiyezhou and don't leave!"
"Don't be a gentleman on the beam." Yu Wei couldn't help reminding him. Looking back, Chao Jianxue had already put on his inner clothes and removed his hairband. His black hair was like a waterfall, with a hint of moisture.
He smiled and said, "I, your eldest brother, am not a gentleman."
