Tanhualu

In the middle hall of Wanyue Villa, Yu Wenrui was sitting upright.

She had already been notified that Jin Er was here, which was within her expectation.However, when she saw Jin Er pulling Yang Jin affectionately and appearing in her sight, her face immediately sank.

In fact, Yang Jin was extremely unwilling to be so... close to Jin Er.She doesn't know him that well at all, okay?

But this person surnamed Jin is still an acquaintance!

Seeing Yu Wenrui's indifferent expression sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the hall, Yang Jin couldn't help becoming nervous. Her first reaction was that she had done something wrong again, right?No, Yu Wenrui looked at her with a somewhat gentle gaze.Only then did Yang Jin secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Don't look at Jin Er's bluffing all the way and not treating himself as an outsider, but when he saw Yu Wenrui, he behaved himself, and finally found a little bit of the upbringing of Mr. Guijie.However, the expression on his face was still smiling.

Before letting go of Yang Jin's arm, Jin Er took two steps towards Yu Wenrui, then knelt down on both knees, and bowed: "I wish you an early year, old man!"

As he spoke, he knocked his head three times "dongdongdong".

Yang Jin was dumbfounded, thinking what kind of greeting is this?

Yu Wenrui's mouth also twitched.Since she lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, she hated this "old man" the most, whether it was for her or for Jing Yan, um, especially for Jing Yan.

But in front of Yang Jin, how can he call this kid?

"Are you here?" Yu Wenrui said in a deep voice, "Is everything alright at home?"

Jin Er still had a smile on his face, raised his face and replied: "Thanks to your old man, everything is fine!"

Also say!Also say!

The corner of Yu Wenrui's mouth twitched again, wishing he could directly slap this kid's mouth: She is only 30 years old, what... an old man!

"Get up." Yu Wenrui said lightly.

She wanted to get rid of this kid first, but Jin Er enthusiastically pulled Yang Jin past him and said, "I met my brother Jin halfway! Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Yang Jin was at a loss as she pulled her sleeves.

But Jin Er Xuxu said again: "When I saw Shunzi, and then saw my brother's face, I knew it was him..."

Yang Jin was young and inexperienced, and hadn't realized the meaning of his words, but Yu Wenrui disliked Jin Er's open mouth, and said first: "Okay! Go down and rest first! I'm tired from the journey."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Yang Jin and said, "Jin'er, follow me, I have something to tell you."

in the inner room.

Yang Jin sat restrainedly in front of Yu Wenrui and Jing Yan, being watched by two people at the same time, which made her a little embarrassed.

Seeing her like this, Jing Yan couldn't bear it when he thought about the situation she was about to face alone, and then softened, and wanted to change his mind.

Yu Wenrui has been with her for many years, and he understands her mind [-]% of the time. Before she could speak, he asked first: "Jin'er, do you know why I called you here?"

Yang Jin shook his head blankly.She thought she had done nothing wrong.Could it be that what happened in the morning was brought to light?It doesn't look like the situation.

The seriousness of the two elders on the opposite side made her feel even more uneasy.

Yu Wenrui thought for a while, and said, "You will be 12 years old after the new year, and you are no longer an ignorant child..."

She paused, and then said: "The so-called 'juveniles establish permanent aspirations', do you have any ambitions when you grow up?"

Yang Jin never expected to be asked such a question.What is her ambition?

Frowning and thinking for a while, Yang Jin whispered: "I want... to be a doctor when I grow up, like a mother-in-law, who can heal more people's diseases."

Yu Wenrui frowned when she heard the words, this "ambition" was not what she expected.

If you want to be a doctor to cure diseases and save people, it is best to continue to study medicine with Granny Yao.But in that deep mountain, life was a bit bitter, and Yu Wenrui couldn't bear it in his heart.

"Except for this?" Yu Wenrui asked again.

"Except for this?" Yang Jin repeated in a low voice.Is this ambition not good?

She looked hesitantly at Jing Yan who was sitting next to Yu Wenrui, who was also full of expectations, and suddenly remembered the earnest words of the masked senior on the mountain that day——

[A good man should aim everywhere! 】

She grimaced.Although she is not a man, she really wants to take a look at the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou.In particular, she still remembers going to Beijing to see where her biological mother used to live.There was also the benefactor who helped her generously when she was a child. Aunt Hong said that if she received a drop of water, she should repay it with a spring.

"I still want... I still want to see all the mountains and rivers of Da Zhou..." Yang Jin said.Probably because she felt that her ambition was too "out of bounds". In the end, she lost her confidence and her voice was like a mosquito humming.

This ambition...

Yu Wenrui raised his eyebrows and wanted to praise "good ambition". He collected himself, nodded and smiled and said, "This ambition is excellent. However, although my Great Zhou is powerful, there are inevitably poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains and rivers. Where it is not enough, there will inevitably be some small and evil people. Do you think you can handle it with your current knowledge of martial arts?"

Yang Jin blushed, and instantly thought of what happened in the morning.In fact, she is very envious of Yu Wenrui's self-cultivation.

Yu Wenrui hit the rails while it was hot: "Don't Jin'er want to be as strong in martial arts as me, and few people in the world dare to bully me?"

Yang Jin's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Yu Wenrui smiled secretly, thinking that children's families are really good.

Jing Yan was speechless listening to the conversation between the big and the young.

Yu Wenrui said again: "Then I will choose a good master for Jin'er, okay? This person is stronger than me in martial arts, and she is also my senior sister. Our Wanyue Villa's martial arts comes from her same school. You learn from her." Learning, it will definitely be higher than my cultivation level in the future!"

The more Yang Jin listened, the more interested he became, and his heart was burning hot, and he asked anxiously: "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Yu Wenrui spread his hands in distaste, "Apprenticeship to a teacher, how can you make a joke of such a serious matter?"

"Then... where is this senior?" Yang Jin asked.The implication is that I can't wait to learn from my teacher right away.

Yu Wenrui didn't expect her to be more anxious than himself, and said with a smile, "She is in the north. You won't be able to see her until the Chinese New Year is over!"

Yang Jin showed disappointment and said "Oh".

She was childish and didn't know what kind of environment she was going to face, which made Jing Yan feel unbearable again, and couldn't help saying: "Jin'er, do you know that when you worship the master, you will have to follow me all the time. Are you by Master's side?"

Yang Jin blinked, thinking about the scene of being with Granny Yao, nodded and said: "Yes. It's like being with Granny Yao."

Jing Yan looked at her deeply: "At that time, you will not be able to go home for many years..."

"Eh? Who said you can't go home? Could it be that you can sell them to them after worshiping the master? You are not even allowed to go home and visit relatives?" Yu Wenrui said anxiously.She was afraid that Jing Yan's momentary soft-heartedness would disrupt her plan.

Jing Yan gave Yu Wenrui a bitter look.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what they said, Yang Jin said: "Don't worry, I will stay by Master's side and learn martial arts well... When I finish my studies, I will come back to see you!"

She thought for a while, and then said: "If there is a chance in the middle, I will come back to see you!"

Jing Yan was completely speechless, thinking how much you don't miss us!Sure enough, the child grows up and thinks too much, so he can't support it?

Such a major event related to the future was settled after just a few back and forth.

Since that day, whenever Yang Jin thinks that he is about to meet an "expert" whose cultivation level is higher than Yu Wenrui's, and he can worship him as his teacher, his heart will not calm down for a long time.Even in the first few nights, she lay on the couch, tossing and turning so excited that she couldn't sleep.

Will I become a person with a particularly high level of martial arts?she thought dazedly.

A few times, when she was thinking about this matter, a question popped up in her mind inexplicably: Someday in the future, will I be able to defeat the owner?

As soon as this idea came up, she was taken aback by herself.How could she be thinking about defeating the owner?

However, soon, the teenager's mind suppressed this inexplicable thought, and she became excited again for the future she was about to face.

Also from that day on, Yang Jin never saw Jin Er's figure again, as if this person disappeared out of thin air in the villa.

Yang Jin felt strange, but he didn't dare to mention it to anyone.

She grew up slowly, and she was no longer the ignorant, poisonous baby she used to be.As she grew older, her doubts about Wanyue Villa became deeper and deeper.

For example, the servants in the village called Jing Yan "Madame", which obviously means "Mrs. Zhuangzhu".That is to say, she is the wife of Yu Wenrui, the "proprietor".However, isn't only a man's wife a "madame"?There is no doubt that the owner is a woman.

For another example, many of the male servants serving in Wanyue Villa are well-maintained, they are not at all like the rough men she has seen, all of them are unshaven and unkempt.Their beards were all so clean-shaven that they couldn't be seen at all.Yang Jin guessed that this should be due to the strict rules of Wanyue Villa.

For another example, she has also seen how ordinary people worship their ancestors during the Chinese New Year.Regardless of whether it is a small household, a special place must be set up to worship the ancestors.It is not certain whether the ancestors of each family have portraits, but there must be tablets.And the surname of the first name in the ranking must be the surname of the head of the family.However, this matter is placed in Wanyue Villa——

Yang Jin followed Yu Wenrui, watching her twist the incense, and bowed three times to the tablet on the complicated and luxurious confession before inserting the incense.Into the incense burner in front of the tablet.And there are only two words written on the tablet: heaven and earth.

Isn't it strange that those who celebrate the New Year do not worship their ancestors, but heaven and earth?Yang Jin thought to himself.

Suddenly, she was stunned, and then realized a very important problem: she didn't even know the owner's last name!

And, it seemed, she hadn't had a chance to figure it out either.

Immediately, this huge mountain villa, which she had been accustomed to since she was a child, became so mysterious in her eyes at this moment.
