Cold and warm depend on each other

When Qin Shiyu rushed to the main house with Xue Wanxiang, Su Zhe was already gone.

When Cao Mosheng saw the two of them coming in, his eyes only paused on his wife's face, and then fell on Xue Wanxiang.The expression was indistinguishable, making Xue Wanxiang take a step back.

Qin Shiyu pulled Xue Wanxiang behind him, frowned and said, "Where's Su Xiaoman?"

Cao Mosheng scratched his neck and let out a "Humph!"

Qin Shiyu sneered, pointed to a girl in the room and said, "Tell me, where did Su Zhe go?"

The girl looked at Master Cao, then at the wife of the master, and quickly weighed it. According to her past habits, the wife of the master is more reliable. She replied nonuo: "Miss Zhe...is in the ancestral hall."

"Ancestral hall???" Qin Shiyu's tone suddenly rose several degrees.

"The head of the door said, let Miss Zhe go to the ancestral hall to calm down for a few days..."

Qin Shiyu glared at Cao Mosheng, wanting to say something, but also knew that he was angry, so he might not be able to listen to him right now.

Xue Wanxiang had already knelt down on the bluestone slab and begged: "I beg the sect master to allow me to be punished together with Ah Zhe."

Cao Mosheng stared at her: "It seems that you already know why Su Zhe was locked up in the ancestral hall."

Xue Wanxiang didn't answer, but kowtowed respectfully.

When she stood up, her long hair slowly slipped down her shoulders, Cao Mosheng looked down from a condescending angle, and happened to see some bright red spots on her neck.He froze for a moment, and then flew into a rage: "Bastard!" He pointed at Xue Wanxiang with shaking fingers, walked back and forth in the room for a few steps in anger, and suddenly shouted: "Stop me in the ancestral hall!"

All the girls gave him a shake.

The servants answered outside the house, and the group of Yanxing Villa was about to say goodbye.Cao Mosheng snorted coldly, and walked out with his robe lifted.Qin Shiyu sighed, supported Xue Wanxiang and said, "Get up first."

Xue Wanxiang shook her head, her tone was gentle but insisted: "Wanxiang is willing to be punished together with Ah Zhe."

Qin Shiyu had no choice but to invite the girl outside again. Yanxing Villa is a distinguished guest, and the family of three wants to say goodbye.It was just now that Cao Mo was so angry that his face turned blue, and she had to go to smooth the hair.

Cao Xiaoman, Su Xiaoman, one or two are not worry-free.Qin Shiyu stroked her forehead, helpless, she casually took Xi'er who was stunned, and went to the front hall together.

Zhao Zhuangzhu's family of three bid farewell in the front hall, Cao Mosheng stayed a few words, Qin Shiyu went up to greet him, saying that it was windy last night, Su Zhe and Xue Wanxiang drank too much wine, let the wind blow, and now they are in the house To recuperate from illness, Xi'er specially asked Xi'er to come over and kowtow to her adoptive father and adoptive mother on her behalf.As she spoke, she glanced at Xi'er, Xi'er was so smart once, she knelt down on both knees and performed the important task of kowtow for her young lady.

Sending off the group of Yanxing Mountain Villa, Qin Shiyu walked back without stopping for a moment, and when she arrived at the main house, she heard that Miss Xue was already in the ancestral hall. The little girl brought a few cotton quilts over there, and also brought a big plush blanket, and then told the kitchen to be careful, it is not stubborn to be cold and hungry."

"What are you doing??" Cao Mosheng couldn't believe it, he was so angry that he was disciplining his apprentice, and his wife was trying to hold him back.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Qin Shiyu glanced at him, instructing Jinyuan to prepare quickly.

"I didn't beat them, so I closed the ancestral hall for a few days to calm down!" Cao Mosheng became more and more annoyed, and stared at him, "The two of them did such a foolish thing, you still want to protect them?"

"Still calm for a few more days?! You don't know what kind of moon is this? There are no earth dragons in the ancestral hall at all! It's fine during the day, are you going to freeze them to death at night?" Qin Shiyu put on a straight face, and followed Pointing to a girl: "Go get a few small heaters, and take two thick cloaks and send them over."

Cao Mosheng walked up and down the room, almost dying of anger. "You, you, you! Loving mother with many losers!!!"

The girls were all kicked out, and only the old couple were left in the room.Qin Shiyu rolled her eyeballs, opening and closing her eyes, she has always been able to control them. "Hey. What are you angry about? Your daughter won't come back. Su Xiaoman is the only one left in front of me who is considered filial. She has the kindness of our upbringing in her heart, and she knows to come back and beg us. If you meet someone If you are ungrateful, you will not be able to find them, let alone punish you, if you run around all over the world with other girls, right?"

"She dares!" Cao Mo said with a fierce face, "Catch her and see if I don't break her legs!"

"Your daughter just ran away all over the world. Are you going to catch her and break her legs?" Qin Shiyu sat in front of the bronze mirror and raised her eyebrows, combed her hair with a small ivory comb and turned the conversation: " Seeing the two of them like this, they must not be together for a day or two. Wanxiang looks weak, but in fact she is as tough as rush grass. Ah Zhe... Ah Zhe is cautious, and others see him as open-minded and cheerful, but who can I want to see her crying and calling mother every day in her sleep when she was a child. Now she is probably the only one left in her family. If I can meet such a caring person, I would like to be able to fulfill her. It's just..."

"what?"

"It's just what to do with the heirs." Qin Shiyu was worried.

Cao Mo got angry and had almost comforted his wife. He stroked the trimmed beard on his chin and said casually, "It's not difficult, just give them one of Xiao's children."

Qin Shiyu paused for a moment with her hands pursing her temples. She remembered that Xue Wanxiang had mentioned that her daughter ran after a girl named Liu, in case...

Forget it, turn over this page first.

"So you agreed? Then why are you punishing them?" Qin Shiyu looked at him with a faint smile.

Cao Mosheng snorted and became angry again: "Look at them!! It hasn't been approved by us yet, just! Just!!"

"Just what?" Qin Shiyu threw the comb and leaned over, looking at her husband who had been married for nearly 20 years, with a little naughty girlishness on the corner of her mouth: "Before my father didn't agree, you also quietly pulled it my hand?"

"Are they just holding hands!!"

Qin Shiyu pinched the back of his hand: "Didn't you secretly kiss me?"

Cao Mosheng blushed, and wanted to refute that these were two different things, when suddenly there were slightly disordered footsteps outside the room.

"Master, madam, senior brother Chen Hao, please see me." The little girl was probably urged to come, and the voice of the answer was anxious.

Cao Mosheng frowned, male apprentices rarely come to the back house, Chen Hao came in such a hurry, what happened?

"Master, master wife, a group of people suddenly came from the foot of our mountain, saying they were seeking revenge from Ah Zhe, shouting for beating and killing, and wounding Uncle Yang." Chen Hao hurried into the outside room, bowed and cupped his hands: "Elder brother No, the second senior brother has already gone down the mountain."

"Do you know who is here?" Cao Mosheng and Qin Shiyu walked out.

"Go back to Master, it's the West Building Gate."

The ancestral hall of the Junshan School has several rooms in a row. In addition to the tablets enshrining the ancestors and the ancestors of the past generations, there are also wing rooms on both sides.

The wing room was deserted, and the tables and chairs were furnished in the simplest way, which was originally prepared for the disciples to introspect.The only spacious one is the big book case, on which there are several volumes, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are neatly arranged.

Su Zhe meditated for a week in the wing room, and sat down at the desk in a dull mood.With a long sigh, she couldn't go back to the house, and she didn't know what happened to Wan Xiang.

Junshan sect is different from most sects in Jianghu. In addition to learning martial arts, apprentices also need to know a little bit of writing. If they make mistakes, they will be punished by both civil and military punishments. As for which one to stand...it depends on luck!

This time, what Su Zhe put on the stall was the literary punishment—"Historical Records", which was copied from beginning to end.

Su Zhe wanted to cry.Is this written for someone? ?

"Yellow Emperor, the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun, named Xuanyuan. He was born as a god, weak but able to speak, young and sloppy, long and sensitive, mature and smart."

It is useless to think too much.After taking the first volume of "The Chronicle of the Five Emperors", Su Zhe leaned on the desk and copied it word by word.

The door of the room was pushed open, she just regarded it as a servant who came to deliver the food, she still focused on writing without raising her head.

Xue Wanxiang has known her for more than a year. She has seen her wield a spear and a sword, and she has seen her fly freely, but she has never seen her so quiet and steady, writing a book.

She stood beside her, at a distance not too far away, watching the warm sun in the early winter cover the windows, and the window paper was painted into a transparent light gold. The girl she liked was sitting in this warm gold, Concentrate on writing.It was clearly the winter season in front of her, but it reminded her of the long summer when she first met her.

On the high shelf at the foot of the table was a pot of asparagus bamboo, with luxuriant branches and leaves, well-proportioned and elegantly pruned, a faint branch protruded from the side, and its shadow fell on the table case, covering half a page of the book.Xue Wanxiang walked nearby and wanted to move the scroll for Su Zhe, but she didn't want to disturb her concentration, so she gently brushed away the disturbing flower branch.

The page was almost full, Su Zhe wrote the last word with concentration, put the wolf hair on the landscape stand, and then turned around and smiled at Xue Wanxiang.

"You're here." It was so normal that she didn't even ask why she was here.

Xue Wanxiang loosened the flowering branches, pinched her earlobes, and responded obediently.

Seeing that she was still wearing the embroidered brocade with dark patterns of ice blue when she got up early, Su Zhe couldn't help feeling a little distressed. "It's my fault." She touched her arm: "Is it cold?"

Xue Wanxiang shook her head.

Su Zhe felt sour in his heart.

How can it not be cold.There is not even an earth dragon rising in this room.

She dragged her to the edge of the window, fortunately it was almost noon, the sun was rising, and she was covered in warmth. "Let's rest here for a while. Mistress will send someone to bring the quilt later." Su Zhe squinted his eyes, like a lazy cat.

Xue Wanxiang smiled lightly: "Can you predict the future?"

Su Zhe shook his head: "This is a common practice. In the past, Cao Xiaomai and I were punished, and my wife would always find ways to send us this or that."

"Is that still a punishment?"

"But she doesn't let us go out. Punishment still needs to be punished, but it's not enough to be hungry and cold. Master will puff his beard and stare when he finds out, and the teacher's wife also said solemnly that the punishment can last longer only if you take care of your body." Ah, otherwise, what should I do if I have to rely on my illness~~"

She frowned, imitating Qin Shiyu's intonation, and Xue Wanxiang burst out laughing.

After a while, someone knocked on the door, and it was Qin Shiyu's personal girl, Jin Yuan, who came.

"Su Xiaoman, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Jin Yuan jokingly said.She followed Mrs. Qin since she was a child, and she is two years older than Su Zhe.

The little girls came in carrying winter quilts and blankets, and Jin Yuan blessed Miss Xue.

Su Zhe said with a bitter face: "Sister Jinyuan, help me to plead with my wife. I have been transcribing all afternoon, and my hands are sore."

"You offended the head of the sect, so what's the use of begging Madam. It's better to beg Miss Xue to sharpen some ink for you." Jin Yuan smiled for a while, then turned and left after watching the girls put away their good things.

Su Zhe stopped him and said: "My sister sees that there is nothing in this house. I am not afraid of it, but Wan Xiang is weak and can't stand the cold. If my sister begs for me, I will send Wan Xiang back to the room first."

Jin Yuan turned around and before she had time to speak, she heard Miss Xue say calmly, "I'm honest too. It's good to stay here."

Su Zhe stomped his feet, rarely showing a trace of a girl's cuteness.

Jin Yuan watched Miss Xue being punished by the sect master to come here, and also watched the sect master's wife's attitude towards this matter.She winked at the two girls, and said playfully, "Don't worry, the charcoal fire for the stove and the big clothes will be delivered later. But don't be too happy about it, since everything is ready, it will take a long time to close it. Don't worry. Your book."

Su Xiaoman flattened his mouth, expressing that he wanted to cry but had no tears.

After Jin Yuan left, Su Zhe pushed Xue Wanxiang onto the bed, and pulled the warm quilt around her, wishing he could have three layers inside and outside.Xue Wanxiang laughed: "Are you going to wrap me into a rice dumpling?"

"This room is too cold." Su Zhe murmured, "Just wait for a while, and I will let you out when the big clothes come."

"Let me out?" Xue Wanxiang imitated her tone and raised the ending sound.

Su Zhe pinched her cheek bitterly.

When there were no two cups of tea, the door of the room rang again, bang bang bang like the door was smashed.Su Zhe's handwriting was almost crooked, and he wondered which girl in the teacher's wife's room was so ignorant.

She put down her writing brush and walked out. Before she reached the door, she heard Chen Hao yelling: "Azhe! Azhe!! The people from the West Building Gate are coming!!"
