chills

Although it was evening, the door of the Lu residence was still open, with lights and festoons adorning the door, and many servants were busy inside and out.Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan's clothes were dirty and torn, and it was inconvenient to go there, so they hid behind a tree and watched.

"By the way," Lu Huaiyuan said, "Today is my father's birthday."

Mr. Lu is a very courageous person. When he was young, he left his hometown and went to other places to do business. As a result, he really made a breakthrough.He also experienced a lot of ups and downs in his life, and now his family has a big business, and he is willing to do good. He is a well-known wealthy businessman in this place.His eldest son, Lu Gaozhuo, was born in the second year after his marriage. Mr. Lu was very strict with him. When Lu Gaozhuo was young, he would be punished for doing things that were slightly inconsistent with Mr. Lu's standards. He was scolded by Mr. Lu.

Lu Huaiyuan was the second son of Mr. Lu after he got old. At that time, Mr. Lu was getting old, and he had lost the vigor of his youth. The mood is doubly doting on Lu Huaiyuan.

After staying on the mountain for a long time, I feel like I don’t know the time. At this time in the past, Lu Huaiyuan would be dressed happily at home, and when all kinds of birthday guests came over, he, as the handsome and intelligent young son of the Lu family, would recite poems at the reception to add to the fun .

Without him this year, the birthday banquet was just as good.Lu Gaozhuo, the eldest son of Lu, stood at the door with a smile on his face, greeting all the guests.The Lu family seems to have forgotten that they still have a young master on Qingyun Mountain, and no one wants to live this big day with him next.

"My elder brother never liked me since he was a child." Lu Huaiyuan whispered while looking around.

Lu Huaiyuan and Lu Gaozhuo are much older than each other, and they have never been able to hang out together.When Lu Gaozhuo walked in the courtyard and saw Lu Huaiyuan, he continued to do his own thing as if he hadn't seen him.Lu Huaiyuan also thought that everyone's elder brother was like this, but when he was playing with other young masters, he saw the slingshot given to him by his elder brother.

The handle of the slingshot is made of horn, and the place where it is held is also inlaid with soft leather.This thing is not something that can be seen in the general market. It is said that the elder brother of the playmate saw it by chance when he was outside. Thinking that his younger brother might like it, he bought it back as a gift for him.

Lu Huaiyuan became inexplicably jealous when he saw this thing, and was unhappy when he returned home.Seeing that he was unhappy, Mr. Lu asked the maids about their daytime affairs, and when he thought he wanted the slingshot, he asked someone to find better novelties for him the next day.Lu Huaiyuan was feeling bored playing with those gadgets, his brother happened to pass by, glanced at the things on the table, and let out a cold snort.

Lu Huaiyuan felt even more wronged.

Lu Gaozhuo came from a well-known family that everyone said, he was first-class in appearance and talent, and he was gentle with others. Lu Huaiyuan admired him very much since he was a child, and he followed Lu Gaozhuo like a follower when he was a child.However, Lu Gaozhuo just doesn't like him, no matter how good he treats others, he will always treat Lu Huaiyuan with a cold face.

Lu Huaiyuan watched Lu Gaozhuo rushing in and out from a distance, but he didn't dare to talk to him.

Shen Huaiyu asked: "Do you want to watch it for a while?" He shook his head, Shen Huaiyu didn't say much, and carried Lu Huaiyuan on his back, went around the gate of Lu's house, and went up the mountain.

Qing Yunzong was brightly lit, and many people didn't know what had happened, and they were also guarding with lanterns in their coats.Zhang Xinglan paced back and forth in the courtyard. There used to be an orange tree in the corner of the courtyard. Recently, the weather has been cold and shed a lot of leaves. The remaining leaves look like they are dying.Zhang Xinglan stomped his feet in anger every two laps, knocking off two leaves, and the poor tree was going to be bald.His eldest disciple Li Xuan tried to persuade him several times, but swallowed the words again.

Ye Qinqin knelt in the distance, not daring to get up, and only begged Huaiyu Huaiyuan to come back quickly.

Zhang Xinglan is about to collapse too - the suzerain is away!I don't know what happened at Qianfengbi!The suzerain's two personal disciples are missing!

"Master Xinglan!" A disciple stepped in from outside and bowed in front of Zhang Xinglan, "I have found two junior uncles."

Zhang Xinglan's temples were throbbing: "Where's the person? Just bring them here!"

Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan came to Zhang Xinglan, looked at Zongzhong's posture, understood, and knelt down.

"Tell me about you guys!" Zhang Xinglan suppressed his anger, "It's fine to go out to play, what are you doing at Qianfengbi! Is it too long to die!"

The two knelt on the ground and did not speak, but the description was shocking——the blood on Shen Huaiyu's body was particularly horrifying.

"Senior brother is not on the mountain! If there is something wrong with his two precious bumps, how can I bear it!" Zhang Xinglan became more and more angry, "Don't think that I dare not punish if the suzerain is not here. Come, tell me what happened tonight! "

Shen Huaiyu kowtowed: "The disciple knows his mistake, it is the disciple——"

"Uncle, it's me." Lu Huaiyuan interrupted Shen Huaiyu, "I have no intention of cultivating the Tao, so I pestered my brother to ask him the way to go down the mountain. My brother accidentally mentioned Qianfengbi, my disciple was arrogant and thought it was possible, so my brother did it to stop me. Follow me all the way to the outside of the sect."

In a few words, he took the responsibility on himself.Shen Huaiyu was taken aback, not knowing what to do.Zhang Xinglan glanced at his torn sleeves, then at the rags tied Shen Huaiyu's hair, snorted coldly, and did not speak.

"Qinqin didn't know about this matter. I didn't mention the specific matter to Qinqin when I went to pester my senior brother for questioning. This matter is the fault of this disciple alone." Lu Huaiyuan paused, "...Uncle, please punish me."

Zhang Xinglan turned around and glared at his terrified disciple, which made her tremble again.

"Uncle Master, disciple—" Shen Huaiyu spoke again.

"Don't talk too much." Zhang Xinglan said, "Huaiyuan will be punished for making mistakes, and he will be confined for one month. The change of Qianfengbi is not something you two bastards can do, Huaiyu, you can come to my room and explain what happened later."

After he finished speaking, he looked around: "Is there anyone else in the back mountain?"

Li Xuan stepped forward and bowed: "Fei Yu brought people over to check, and he will be back in a while."

Zhang Xinglan turned and left, and the others gave way.Ye Qinqin leaned over and pulled Lu Huaiyuan up, patted his clothes and whispered, "Little uncle, you are really generous."

Lu Huaiyuan took a sneak peek and saw Shen Huaiyu getting up from the ground and dusting himself off.

In the water city in the south of the Yangtze River, spring has the charm of spring, and late autumn also has the scenery of late autumn.The climate here is good for people, and this season will not make people feel particularly cold, and soft-spoken girls are holding boats on the river to sell some home-brewed osmanthus wine, freshly made crabapple cakes and so on.Passing by here, listening to the beautiful yelling of the girls, the bones are going to be soft.

Shen Lin was sitting on a small boat, facing a woman.Although the boat was small, it was covered with embroidered tents, with flowers carved on the side of the boat, and the newly painted color was different from ordinary small boats.

There is a small table between the two of them. On the table are some pastries, a jug of wine, and two small wine cups.The woman was dressed in a pink dress and had an outstanding temperament. She took the jug, refilled the two of them with wine, and said something to Shen Lin.

A pigeon flew over and landed on the small boat where the two were.Shen Lin stretched out his hand to catch the pigeon, and untied the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg.The woman was very interested in the pigeon: "Oh? I didn't expect this pigeon to find the right place on the moving boat."

Shen Lin smiled slightly: "Offended." After finishing speaking, he took out the letter paper in the bamboo tube and read it.
