companion marriage

Hanchan Temple, located on Hanchan Mountain in the east of Yecheng City, is an ancient temple with a history of one hundred years. There are many pilgrims offering offerings every year, and the incense is flourishing.

It's summer now, tall and emerald green pines and cypresses stand upright on the side of the stone road in the inner courtyard of the temple, on the curved bluestone road, the branches and leaves are shaking, or there are a few birds flying on the branches, chirping and chirping.

All the way inwards is the courtyard of the West Wing, which is decorated with young bamboos in a patchwork manner, and is surrounded by blue stone scales to form a water pool with a radius of two meters wide. , and the foot tube extended from nowhere, a drop of oil dripped from its mouth, and fell into the bamboo tube on a 45-degree slope. As it gathered, it hit the stone slab with a 'da' sound.

Along the extension of the bluestone slab, a wooden house with two stone steps is located there.

The door was opened, and an old woman in Chinese clothes and another teacher were sitting on a mat on the tatami. A chess board was placed between them, and a faint blue smoke slowly rose from an incense burner. .

Beside the two old men, sat a young girl in a light blue dress, with a wooden hairpin inserted into her simple hair, a jade-like face, and two willow-smoky eyebrows, like butterfly wings. Her eyelashes covered her eyes, her nose was beautiful and her lips were slightly pursed. At this moment, a purple sand pot was in her hand, and the girl lowered her eyes, making tea for the old man respectfully.

With a bang, a white piece landed on the chessboard, and the black winding dragon suddenly seemed to be trapped in a cage, unable to break free, but it was a dead end.

After a while, a hearty laugh came from the mouth of the old woman in Chinese clothes. "Jingyi, oh Jingyi, after all, I'm still an old woman and I'm missing a move."

"Amitabha." The old teacher smiled lightly, and made a Zen gesture on the wrist with the maroon prayer beads.

"Okay, okay, you and I have known each other for decades, so don't give me those Zen poems." Raising her hand, the old woman picked up the teacup and drank half a cup of tea.

Master Jingyi smiled lightly and said nothing, the two talked for a few moments, and the old woman in fine clothes led the young girl away.

Sitting in the carriage, the old woman in fine clothes closed her eyes and rested her mind, while the young girl looked out of the carriage in a daze.

"But have you calmed down?" After a while, the old woman took the tea that the girl had just made with half-opened eyes.

The girl was stunned, staring at the old man in a daze, speechless, she lowered her head, with her white fingers crossed on her knees, she seemed to suddenly want to know, the eyes under her eyelashes were shining brightly, and when she raised her head, her brows and eyes curved Bend like a pool of clear water. "The student understands."

"Oh? Understand what?" The old man was still half-eyed, stroking the tea with the tea lid in his hand.

"Students are getting restless these days." She lowered her eyes, as if she had a sudden realization. "Students are lying, part of the reason why the teacher brought the students here this time is to let the students calm down."

"Girl, do you know that you were not just impetuous a few days ago." The old man glanced at the girl inexplicably, and his eyes, which were floating in the world, were as deep as a pool. "However, fortunately, you have come to understand, so I won't say much about the old lady. But you must also remember that impetuousness is a taboo for military strategists."

"Student understands." The girl lowered her eyebrows, looked at the empty herbal tea in the old man's hand, and poured it respectfully.

"Speaking of which, a few days ago you told me that people from the capital went to your mansion, but it was because of one of your highnesses?" Raising her eyelids, she glanced at the stiff young girl, and the corners of the old woman's mouth slightly raised.

"...Yes." She said respectfully, but the girl was racing in her heart, and the expression on her face was somewhat distorted.

"As far as I know, those two highnesses have a good reputation in the capital's court and public, especially the empress dowager, who has a reputation of being wise and wise, and is highly valued by the current emperor, so she is the candidate for the throne with tacit approval." The old man played a trick Xin, looking at the tangled expression on the girl's face immediately, a faint smile flashed in her eyes.Speaking of which, this child, since I taught her all these years, has always looked like a little adult, but I didn't expect it, because the people in the capital would mess up her little apprentice, it's really rare.

"...Emperor, Empress, Lady." She said these words almost word for word, the expression on the girl's face was not only tangled, her almond eyes were wide open, and her lips were still lined up. Jing shivered. "You know, teacher, her name is..."

"Well, after all, it's Her Royal Highness today, so I can't say much, but." The old man pondered for a while, rubbing the celadon cup with the dragon and the phoenix with his palm. "Single is the word 'Xi'."

As soon as the words fell, the girl's face immediately became pale and pale. It was unknown if the carriage bumped, and the girl sitting on the cushion swayed a few times at an angle that could be seen by the naked eye.

"Chen'er, tell me, Master, did you offend that Highness somewhere?" Seeing every bit of the girl's actions at this time, the old woman put away the teasing, and her tone became serious.

"...Yes, there is some misunderstanding." Bai Xiaoyan, who lacked confidence, trembled.

Sighing, the old woman obviously didn't expect how serious this 'some' plot was. In her heart, Bai Xiaoyan had always been an honest child, and she couldn't do anything out of the ordinary. "Since you have a misunderstanding with that person, then resolve it as soon as possible. That Highness is not unreasonable. If it is your fault, you should quickly admit it. It is not your fault, and admit it."

"..." Anyway, no matter right or wrong, she has to admit it. . . . . .

Seeing that Bai Xiaoyan pursed her lips and remained silent, the old man patted her on the shoulder. "Chen'er, you and Xin'er have worshiped as teachers since they were young, and they can almost be regarded as teachers watching them grow up. Your child is more stable and honest than Xin'er, and you have always reassured you. You can't afford to offend any one of them."

"...Yes." She was afraid that His Highness would not forgive her even if she apologized!Bai Xiaoyan was silent and had no tears. The reason why she lost her mood after a few days was because she had such a relationship with this big man, so that she was always uneasy and uneasy. Now that she thinks about it, every time she sees Chu Xi, she can't help but feel "fried." "Fan, it's not like I used to be at all, even Nianxin's off-line girl can see that she is unusual, let alone a teacher?"

Looking at Bai Xiaoyan in a daze, the old man thought that his disciple was entangled in apologizing, so he couldn't help sighing: "I don't want to say anything more as a teacher. After all, you are an adult, and if you talk too much, it will be no different from you."

"No. No, teacher, it's the students who have become dull." Hastily shaking her hand, Bai Xiaoyan gritted her teeth. "The students will apologize."

Nodding his head in satisfaction, the old man couldn't help but continued in satisfaction. "That's good. Just remember, everything is difficult at the beginning. After a good start, you will no longer be afraid of anything."

"Yes."

First, she took the carriage back to the old man's mansion and sat there for a while. After listening to the old man's instructions, Bai Xiaoyan walked slowly on the street towards home.

Holding a white jade bone fan in her hand, the plain dress set off her handsome figure, attracting shy glances from the man wearing the veil.Of course, Bai Xiaoyan didn't see these things, but what she kept trying to figure out in her heart was the words 'everything is difficult at the beginning'.

These days, it's because of Chu Xi's appearance that she is not like herself. She is irritable and loses her temper at every turn. She is like a woman who has entered menopause!Especially when seeing Chu Xi, it would be like igniting the explosives all over his body. A slight touch would either attract a cold look from the other party or upset himself.

Now that I think about it, she was really bad as hell a few days ago. . . . . .Don't say it was someone else who saw her, but just looked at her with disdain, let alone that His Highness who didn't know what to do with her?

Bai Xiaoyan walked slowly down the street, rubbing the white jade bone fan with her palms, the slight coolness could not help but make the fine entanglements in her heart disappear slowly.

I don't know how long I have thought about it, or I have already figured it out, the lowered eyes make it difficult to distinguish reality from reality, under the bright white sun, there is a suddenness like enlightenment.

With the corners of her mouth raised, Bai Xiaoyan shook her head and smiled lightly, the restless impetuosity seemed to disappear at that moment.

People live for a lifetime, should act brightly and do righteously, be worthy of the heaven and the earth, live in the vast clouds and rain, be flashy in life, be carefree by the Yishui, drink Tsinghua lightly, and do nothing more than a clear conscience, magnanimous Zhuo Yunyue, laughing in the world , It is enough to make it clear.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and the gloom around her disappeared, turning into a warm and bright one, as if turning clouds to see the sun.

However, did the teacher know something about what the teacher said before he left, "If you can, try to help that Highness"?Bai Xiaoyan rubbed her chin in deep thought, not knowing where her empty thoughts went.

Suddenly she was patted hard on the shoulder, Bai Xiaoyan turned her head, and the big smiling face of Liu Nianxin came into view.

A fan slapped that face away, and kicked a few times to kick away the body that was almost on top of her. Bai Xiaoyan looked around with a blank face, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she straightened her dress in a serious manner, Liu Nianxin, who had been kicked away, had put his hand on his shoulder a second ago, and when he saw someone's sleazy face, it disappeared immediately. "what?"

"-_-#Hey! Are my hands that dirty!" Pinching his waist, Mr. Liu glared fiercely at Bai Xiaoyan, who was paralyzed. "Didn't I just pat you on the shoulder! What are you playing!"

"The problem is not that your hands are dirty." Shaking her head, Bai Xiaoyan lifted her foot and continued walking. "It's your whole body that's dirty."

Almost without breathing, Mr. Liu has been domineering for several years, and it is only when he meets Bai Xiaochen that he always suffers.She squinted her eyes and looked at Bai Xiaoyan who was walking away, and smiled angrily: "Okay, I'm dirty, I'll make you dirty too!" After finishing speaking, she put her hands in the dirt indifferently, and went straight Bai Xiaoyan, before the other party could react, a muddy hand scratched a small white face of someone Bai.

"Hey hey hey! I don't think you're going anywhere clean!" Humming and laughing, Liu Nianxin gritted her teeth and wanted to tease the other party, but Bai Xiaoyan frowned and looked into the distance . "Hey! What are you thinking!" No, with this girl's temperament, she should take revenge on her immediately, why is there no movement at all?

Unexpectedly, a sneeze that had been brewing for a long time accompanied Bai Xiaoyan's turn around, and at the moment Liu Nianxin approached unexpectedly, a sip of water sprayed all over her face.

The sudden change really caught Liu Nianxin by surprise, and at the same time, the wetness on his face really surprised Mr. Liu.

Staring round her eyes, she looked in disbelief at Bai Xiaoyan who had started running away a long time ago, and the nerves that had finally escaped due to an unexpected change were drilled back into her head.

"Bai Xiaochen! You fucking stop my mother!!!!" A roar almost resounded through the sky, and the official Liu, in disregard of his romantic image in the past, put up his skirt and ran angrily towards the direction Bai left.

"Close the door, close the door!" Almost running all the way to her mansion, Bai Xiaoyan ignored the maids who wanted to salute by herself, and hurriedly ordered them to close the door, but Liu Nianxin shouted angrily not far away.

Blocking the crossbar at the door lock, Bai Xiaoyan panted and smiled and told the door attendant that today the door is closed to thank guests, and no one is seen, especially Liu Nianxin who is almost knocking the door out of the door.

Then, under the gazes of several waiters who didn't understand the situation but responded respectfully, Bai Xiaoyan snorted softly at the slamming door, wiped her face happily and walked away.

It's just that she hasn't been happy for too long, and she saw Chu Xi walking in the opposite direction in the corridor.

Now that the knot in his heart has been untied, seeing Chu Xi will no longer look like a fried hair, although it will still be awkward, but Bai Xiaoyan quickly withdrew the little bit of stiffness, and turned to humbly take a step away Standing on one side, he bowed and performed a scribe salute.

"The sun is coming out from the west. What's wrong with Patriarch Bai?" Chu Xi squinted slightly, her slender body outlined in a blue dress, making her even more graceful and beautiful.

"A few days ago, the grassroots overstepped and offended, and I hope His Highness will forgive me." The gentle voice was like water patterns in the breeze, faint, but it is not difficult to hear the gentleness contained in it.

"Chaoyue?" A strange look flashed in his eyes, Chu Xi sized Bai Xiaoyan up, smiled calmly, and spoke slowly, but at every step. "This offense and forgiveness really puzzle me." She took a step forward, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and the pupils were dark and deep. "Will Patriarch Bai give me some pointers?"

"Your Highness, why bother to make things difficult for the villain?" With a wry smile, Bai Xiaoyan was so depressed that she knew that this was not a gentle master, looking at someone with a bad heart, and letting her speak out, isn't that embarrassing! ! !Speak it out, let this big man catch the handle, if you don't say it, it's still a crime of deceiving the emperor!Holy crap!Also let people live! ! !

The white villain turned into a roaring little brother, squatting on the ground and roaring to the sky, spraying blood, and the sad one can immediately become the little Dou'e who is red in the snow in June, the mournful little voice, so mesmerizing that I almost lost myself Eye.

The little handkerchief dangling, begging grandma, please spare the villain, the villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, his eyes are simply covered with shit.

The scene changed in an instant, the little man Bai held a big knife in his hand, and immediately swung the knife, who would fight for the front.Hey!You thief!Seeing Grandma Ben, if you don't hurry to beg for mercy, when will you wait!Oops, eat my old grandson!Bah bah bah!No, it's my life! ! !

Regardless of how desolate and helpless Bai Xiaoyan was in her heart, she was playing all kinds of weird things, but on the surface she was very calm and humble. "Your Highness is joking, Cao Min is just a commoner, how dare you make presumptuous assumptions about His Highness."

"I never thought that Patriarch Bai was a commoner." Chu Xi smiled lightly, and the smile couldn't reach his eyes. "As for the presumptuous statement, what is the basis for it?"

"This..." Chu Xi forced her to stop talking! ! !The motor in her head began to hum, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed into her mind, Bai Xiaoyan gritted her teeth, that's all!You forced me!

Biting the tip of her tongue fiercely, her lips parted slightly and she recited the spell quickly. In an instant, a gust of Yin Qi poured into her body, and before she lost consciousness, Bai Xiaoyan could not help but feel sad.

That's enough, in order to avoid the adult's questioning, she even used the soul-eating curse of the Bai family's exorcism on her own body, and the backlash force made herself pass out successfully. . . . . .

Pretending to be dizzy is definitely not enough to deceive this adult who is smarter than a fox. If he is not deceived, he may even turn a car against him. Then he will really deceive the king, so he can only use this trick. . . . . .

Anyway, as long as it can pass, as long as it is useful!This is the last useless thought that Bai Xiaoyan really lost consciousness. . . . . .

. . . . . .

She woke up from the pain of a pinprick in her back, looking at Uncle Qing with a worried face and Xiao Ran with red eyes who looked like a bunny, Bai Xiaoyan began to think about whether she would bite the tip of her tongue in front of her head or not. The decisiveness of the two endless regrets, why did such a thing in a daze!Obviously there are a lot of reasons to escape, such as discomfort, dizziness or physical discomfort, etc. Why did my head get so hot at that time that I made such an action of "harming others and not benefiting myself"! ! !

Can my back not hurt?I pricked several silver needles, and pulled out the cupping jar for scraping!The doctor even said that he had hyperactivity of qi, blood and liver, disharmony between spleen and stomach, and suffered from heat stroke.It's good that she's just a backlash from her upper body! ! !You quack! ! !But there is one thing that is right. Emotional tension leads to qi and blood conflicts and depression.It's okay to be nervous, but this depression is too nonsense!Bai Xiaoyan stared at the head of the bed silently, and finally saw off Uncle Qing and Xiao Ran, and of course Chu Lan who followed Xiao Ran, lying almost naked on the bed, accompanied by the smell of medicine in the room, Bai Xiaoyan He looked helplessly at Master Chu Xi who still refused to leave.

The room was surprisingly quiet, except for Bai Xiaoyan coughing uncomfortably occasionally, the two of them just kept quiet and neither spoke.

Bai Xiaoyan is very depressed, quite depressed, what do you think is going on!The two of them sat dryly with wide-eyed and small-eyed eyes, feeling awkward and uncomfortable all over.With a light cough, Bai Xiaoyan planned to break the silence and speak first, but she didn't want Chu Xi to speak first.

"You..." Chu Xi raised his eyes, which were vaguely hesitant to speak.

You finally realized you were wrong didn't you! ! !If you didn't force me, how could you indirectly make me faint! ! !Bai Xiaoren smiled viciously, looked at the other party with frowns, and guessed in his heart that if this guy wanted to apologize to him, even if it wasn't an apology, it would be good to make someone feel guilty!Who told the doctor just now that he was nervous, you have to think about it slowly, if you weren't pushing hard, who would be nervous?

Eyeballs rolled around, Bai Xiaoyan continued to act weaker, so that Chu Xi could realize her mistake.

Although this mistake is almost inseparable from Bai Xiaoyan. . . . . .

However, unexpectedly, Bai Xiaoyan almost vomited a puddle of blood in Chu Xi's next sentence.

"Is it a fool?"

"What!" Her eyes were wide open, if it wasn't for her physical discomfort and this person's noble status, Bai Xiaoyan would have stepped forward and strangled her to death long ago.

"Why do you want to attract ghosts to eat you back?" Chu Xi pursed his lips, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"You know?!" Bai Xiaoyan not only opened her eyes wide this time, but also made her mouth round.

"Of course." Rubbing the cyan jade on her wrist, her drooping eyelashes fluttered slightly, and suddenly her hands paused, she raised her head in surprise, looked at Bai Xiaoyan and said, "You didn't do it to avoid me. Asking questions will make such a bad move!"

"..."

"You." Somewhat dumbfounded, he glanced at Bai Xiaoyan with a pretty white face. Chu Xi shook his head helplessly, picked up the teacup by the table, and covered the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and the words on his lips disappeared there. In the slight water waves. "A complete idiot."
