Chapter 94 The Yan Lide Family
After Yan Lide's wedding was overjoyed, Dugu Yihe bid farewell and took Su Shaoying away by the way.
"Uncle, why is this so? There are many masters in the capital. If you communicate more here, your martial arts will be more beneficial. Besides, there is also Junior Sister Sun. When the child in Junior Sister Sun's womb is born, it's not too late for you to see your disciples and grandchildren with your own eyes." Yan Lide comforted him, ignoring Su Shaoying who was killing Dugu Yihe behind him and wiping his neck to wink at him.
"No need, the old man's martial arts is not something that others can order in a few words. It is important to go back to Emei to practice in seclusion. They are all children of the rivers and lakes, so there is no need to be a reluctant woman. Xiuqing is married and has her husband's family to take care of her. If you can come to Emei to see me, I welcome it, if you don’t have the chance to see me again in this life, it’s fate.” Dugu Yihe is quite open-minded, or people who practice Buddhism are so free and easy, but Dugu Yihe is a monk who became a Taoist priest.
Yan Lide glanced at Sun Xiuqing who was pale beside him, he sounded angry at what he said.
Sun Xiuqing said with blessing: "The apprentice has let the master down."
"You live your own life. You know how warm and cold you are. It's fine if you like it." Dugu Yihe nodded and said to Yan Tieshan, "Farewell."
"Brother, go slowly, I'll go with you." Yan Tieshan said surprisingly.
"Father!" Yan Lide exclaimed in surprise. This time Yan Tieshan entered Beijing, Yan Lide thought that he was ready to live for a long time. How could Shanxi compare with the capital? Similarly, at this time, Kyoto gathers the prosperity of the world, and the best resources in the world are all here.Yan Tieshan suffered a serious physical deficit in her early years, and she should take care of her body.Besides, his son and daughter-in-law are all here, so what is he going back to Shanxi alone for?
"Father, my bones are loose after living here for three months. It's time to go back. I think the vinegar from Shanxi is fragrant." Shanxi people who have pretended for so long can no longer tell the truth from the fake. Yan Tieshan loves the air of Shanxi The aroma of vinegar permeates at any time.
"There is no jealousy..." Yan Lide was not happy, there was a tragedy of having a son who wanted to support him but would not wait for his relatives, Yan Lide still liked the vulgar family reunion.
"Father, what did the daughter-in-law do wrong to make you angry? There is no reason for a son and daughter-in-law to enjoy life in the capital, leaving the father alone in Shanxi. If you tell me what the daughter-in-law did wrong, I will definitely correct it. Don't go back to Shanxi as soon as you get angry. How can we bear this?" Qian Zeyu pretended to be pitiful.
"You girl, don't let him be a gunman. No matter how nice you say, I still have to go." Yan Tieshan is determined to leave. He doesn't like the capital, and he doesn't like such a majestic and dignified place. During the dynasty, there was no way to do it, but now I can live away from these regimes that are noble on the surface and decadent on the inside, wandering around the rivers and lakes, wishing for nothing.
"Okay, that's it." Yan Tieshan said.
"Then I..." Seeing that Yan Lide was defeated, Su Shaoying had no choice but to save herself.
"What about you? Are you going to stay in the capital and rely on the imperial examination?" Dugu Yihe snorted, blaming Yan Lide for being a bad leader, and the good people in the rivers and lakes imitating the sour style of literati.
"Master, I really want to test the extent of my knowledge." Su Shaoying knelt on the ground and asked, "Master always said that I have good aptitude, but what's so good about it? Senior brother's skill is deeper than mine, and third junior brother's swordsmanship is better than mine." I am more dexterous than me, and the junior sisters also have their own strengths. I also practiced swords desperately, trying to win glory for the master, and did many wrong things. When I saw a poem in a book later, I suddenly understood the artistic conception depicted in it. Master wants me to understand the meaning of the sword. I want to read, read more, and reading good books is the way for me to practice martial arts."
"Nonsense!" Dugu Yihe had never heard of someone who learned advanced martial arts from the Four Books and Five Classics, and only thought that Su Shaoying started telling such outrageous lies in order to stay.
Yan Lide believed him, blocked Dugu Yihe's angry palm force, and persuaded: "Uncle, there is indeed a precedent. I saw it in the Royal Library before. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a book of the highest martial arts in the martial arts. The name "Nine Yin Scriptures" is the first of all martial arts in the world. This secret book was written by Huang Shang, an imperial civil servant who did not understand martial arts at all. He learned it from Taoist scriptures. Xiu, self-taught into a generation of masters, influencing the martial arts for hundreds of years."
"You also speak for this kid. The old man has never heard of Huang Chang." Although Dugu Yihe said so, he stopped his movements. Based on his understanding of Yan Lide, he would not tell such a lie that can be easily exposed.
"Uncle doesn't believe me, I'll recite a few sentences of the general outline of the "Nine Yin Manual" for you to listen to, and you can comment on whether you have advanced martial arts." Yan Lide didn't wait for Dugu Yihe to agree, and began to recite, "The way of heaven, There is more than enough damage to make up for what is not enough, so the emptiness wins the real, and the insufficiency wins more than enough. Its meaning is broad, its rationale is profound, and its interest is deep. The phenomena of heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang...”
According to academic research, it is the "Tao Te Ching", and in the eyes of martial arts people, it should be the mental method of "Nine Yin Manual", after Dugu Yihe listened thoughtfully, he said: "Do you know how each chapter is? "
"I don't know, there is only one general outline, and it is incomplete. If there is a way of thinking or moves, I have no reason why I can't enter the treasure mountain."
Dugu Yihe felt the same, and reaffirmed: "Sure enough, there is a precedent for self-understanding advanced martial arts from books."
"Of course there are. Things in this world have the same principle. Just like going to Mount Emei, walking on the stone steps from the front mountain is the same way, and climbing from the back mountain is also the way. Now Shaoying doesn't want to take these common ways and just falls from the sky with a kite. Isn't it possible? To Jinding? You can’t think that he can’t get there just because his path doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person’s choice.” Yan Lide persuaded, if Dugu Yihe really brought Su Shaoying back to Emei, what about his Jewelry Pavilion?
"Okay then, let him practice by your side. You are the elder brother, you have to watch him closely, don't play tricks, and don't let the miscellaneous students dazzle you!" Dugu Yihe sternly said.
"Yes, yes, master, I'm going to learn from Brother Yan!" Su Shaoying hurriedly promised that he could only raise his hand to swear.
Dugu Yihe glanced at him, and walked out together with Yan Tieshan. The two old friends seemed to be back when they were teenagers swimming with each other, striding away in high spirits.
Su Shaoying got up quickly, and said flatteringly: "Brother still has a way, just a few words can convince Master, I've said so much good things these days, I'm only about to cry, make trouble and hang myself, and Master didn't agree."
Yan Lide glanced at him angrily, and said, "You think I'm lying to your master, it's true! You'd better be able to comprehend some advanced martial arts from the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise you won't be able to return to Emei in this life."
"If I don't come back, I won't go back. I will take care of Junior Sister Sun in the capital. Please don't go back when my little nephew is born." Su Shaoying is the kind of child who is spoiled by the family. Don't understand what your words mean.
"The child in my stomach kicked me again. Brother Yan, sister-in-law, brother Su, I'm going back first." Su Xiuqing nodded as a signal, and slowly turned around.
"Junior Sister, wait for me, and agree that I will take care of you." Su Shaoying caught up with Baobao and escorted Sun Xiuqing back to the yard.
After their brothers and sisters left, Yan Lide asked, "Why is Uncle Dugu angry?"
"It's just that you are careless, aren't you usually very sharp? Forget, how long has it been since Ximen Chuuxue came?" Qian Zeyu asked with a smile.
"Ximen Chuuxue... Well, he seems to have never been here before!" Yan Lide suddenly remembered that the last time he saw Ximen Chuuxue was the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City. Fuxue never came to the door. "Did the husband and wife quarrel?" Yan Lide asked uncertainly, and with all due respect, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to quarrel with Ximen Chuuxue.
"It's okay to have a quarrel. They didn't meet and didn't talk, and they couldn't even quarrel. In the past few months, the housekeeper of Wanmei Villa has delivered things on time, but Ximen Chuuxue didn't see anyone. Junior sister Sun also asked, and she said that she was practicing in seclusion. Tell me, swordsmanship is more important than wives and children, and he is already the number one sword god in the world, so what else does he practice?" Qian Zeyu said indignantly.
"Cultivation... Alas, I have finally reached this point." Yan Lide sighed, "From Ximen Chuuxue's point of view, maybe the way of swordsmanship is really more important than his wife and children. Ximen Chuuxue cultivated the way of ruthlessness. When I met him in Shanxi a few years ago, he was still In the first level: "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world." That was when he defeated most famous masters in the world, and his martial arts were already at the bottleneck. He cultivated the way of ruthlessness. How was he born in the world, so when he got married with Junior Sister Sun, he reached the second level: "The belt is getting wider and I will never regret it, and I will make people haggard because of Yixiao." At that time, Lu Xiaofeng complained that Ximen Chuuxue was not like Ximen Chuuxue anymore, just like The snow on the high mountains in Saibei finally melted under the scorching summer sun. When Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng fought on the top of the Forbidden City, let go of the love of his wife and children, and broke through again, he should hit the third realm at this time.' I searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was in a dimly lit place. At this time, martial arts are no longer martial arts, and swordsmanship is no longer swordsmanship, but a kind of way, a kind of spirit, and a kind of state. Ximen Chuuxue pursued The way of the sword is right in front of you, so it doesn't matter."
"You mean that Ximen Chuuxue is going to abandon Junior Sister Sun and her unborn child?" Qian Zeyu is always so good at focusing.
"Probably he has let go of his love for men and women, and at least he still feels guilty towards Junior Sister Sun. My son... the sword god is not a god after all. He also needs to have an inheritance. The child just happens to practice swordsmanship and inherit the will of his parents."
"It's so nice to say, doesn't it mean that as long as children don't want wives, they want to drive Junior Sister Sun away. Ximen Chuuxue is really not a thing." Qian Zeyu said indignantly.
"Ximen's pursuit of the Dao requires sacrifices..."
"Why sacrifice Junior Sister Sun!"
"Ximen himself also entered the path of ruthlessness. He doesn't care about everything in the world, and lives like an ascetic monk. What do you say about those ascetic monks' cultivation? Why do they suffer instead of enjoying blessings in a short hundred years? Isn't it just to seek proof of the Dao? They are poor in material, but full of spirit. Simon's way..."
"No matter what, don't call him Ximen anymore. The owner of Wanmei Villa is such a great person that we can't stand up to him." Qian Zeyu said angrily. She and Sun Xiuqing had only known each other for a few days. He took care of her like a younger sister for a few months, Ximen Chuuxue bullied her younger sister, so naturally he wanted to find his way back.Qian Zeyu has also been in the Jianghu, and Mrs. Kurong is also a first-class master in the Jianghu, and also pursues the pinnacle of martial arts.But in this world, no one can compare with Ximen Chuuxue, who can practice such clean and pure swordsmanship only with a pure heart of Taoism.Qian Zeyu doesn't understand, many people don't understand, it doesn't matter, Ximen Chuuxue doesn't ask others to understand him, having a father who understands him, Ye Gucheng, is very rare.
"This is about Ximen and Junior Sister Sun." Yan Lide stroked her shoulder to calm her down.
"It's even more annoying to say this. Let's not talk about it. I'll go back and see how dad and uncle are doing." Qian Zeyu stomped away in defeat.Isn't Sun Xiuqing's choice obvious if he can drive Dugu Yihe away?
After Yan Lide got married, he finally became an "adult" by convention. Before he had outstanding abilities and outstanding performance, there were always Taoist priests who accused him of not "reconciling Yin and Yang" and saying that he was not married. Now these flies have finally disappeared.The government changed again, Xie Qian offended Liu Jin, and the two sides were fighting.Yan Lide was busy with government affairs, so he naturally cared less about family affairs.
Speaking of Liu Jin, the emperor restarted the East Factory and appointed him as the supervisor. In just a few months, he was promoted to the first Bingbi eunuch of the Rites Supervisor. The second or third of the chief inspector.The emperor could not let anyone have too much power, so he appointed Gu Dayong as the governor of the East Factory.Previously, the emperor failed to implement his unreliable plan and killed a group of old ministers. The eunuchs accounted for the majority, and only Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong were left to serve the emperor with Liu Jin.Among the two, Gu Dayong's martial arts is higher, so he is the supervisor, and Zhang Yongbu is the supervisor of ceremonies.
The appointment of the ministers was originally decided by the emperor, but who made Liu Jin "go wrong", the cabinet insisted not to let him be the first eunuch of Bingbi, and the opposition was headed by Xie Qian.
Yan Lide hated Xie Qian's constant targeting of him, but he had to be fair, this time he was really dedicated to serving the country and the people, and he didn't want the eunuchs to lure the emperor.But everyone has feelings of intimacy, the emperor is especially a lover, he already felt ashamed of Liu Jin, and took advantage of this battle at the top of the Forbidden City to promote Liu Jin.As a result, Xie Qian didn't know what to do and made things stand still. Liu Jian, as the chief assistant, didn't want Liu Jin to take over.But Xie Qian has already made a move, so he doesn't have to come out to wave the flag, the cabinet always needs someone to take the helm.
Cut off the future!Hmph, Liu Jin and Xie Qian are on the line, each showing their own abilities, belittling each other by saying good things about themselves in front of the emperor, and involving half of the imperial court.The emperor didn't know what was on his mind, but he didn't stop it. The incident intensified, and Yan Lide was also swept away by the typhoon.
The emperor looked at Yan Lide differently, so he didn't need to try his best to persuade him, but just slipped Yan Lide into the Qianqing Palace to listen to his opinions.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not a question of whether Eunuch Liu is appointed or not, or whether Mr. Xie will retreat or not." Yan Lide did not dare to stand in line, and took out a list from his pocket and handed it to the emperor, saying: "These are all in support of Eunuch Liu's appointment. With regard to the list of those who do not support it, both sides insist on their own opinions, and more and more people are involved. Your Majesty sees that there are still many small officials below the fifth rank on the list. They have not even contacted Mr. Liu or Mr. Xie. No matter whether you write a letter or not, it’s all echoing what others say. Now both parties are opposing for the sake of opposition. Not only the matter of Eunuch Liu’s appointment, but those who stand in the camp of Mr. Xie. Heart, there is nothing to do with the affairs of the court, so laissez-faire, I am afraid that it will become a disaster of party struggle!"
"Why do they have so many people supporting them?" The emperor couldn't believe it according to the list. He just wanted to balance the court, not to tear down the stage. Did the two have some behind-the-scenes forces, and half of the court was involved.
"Your Majesty, this is not to support Liu Jin or Xie Qian himself." Yan Lide did not want to deceive Liu Jin, and said: "Take the minister as an example. There is a conflict between the minister and Commander Mou. If he stands on one side, the minister must stand on the other side. It doesn't matter who it is, I'm targeting Commander Mou."
"You mean that the courtiers didn't mean it, they just vented their daily dissatisfaction." The emperor was puzzled, dignified officials, wouldn't they be so boring and naive.
"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly the case." Yan Lide bowed and bowed again, and said: "Because of this, before the matter is fully fermented, break it up quickly, otherwise it will form a habit..."
"It makes sense, but we can't let it go." The emperor nodded, and suddenly asked jokingly, "How do you use Commander Mou as an example? You don't get along with him?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, when I first entered the palace, I saw Commander Mou changing shifts. In a hurry, I only thought of his example. It was very rude." Yan Lide would not admit it.
"Don't worry, I will keep it secret for you. You step back, Commander Mou is coming soon." The emperor joked.
After Yan Lide left, the emperor couldn't put pen to paper in front of the blank imperial decree, only then did he realize that he had been fooled.Yan Lide was alarmist for a long time, he didn't answer whether he supported Liu Jin as the eunuch of Bingbi, and he didn't provide a solution to the party dispute, why did he let Yan Lide go when he got hot?It seems that we have to continue to announce him into the palace tomorrow, the emperor thought irresponsibly.
....................................
It was deep winter, and the capital had already started to feel like a New Year's Eve. Ximen Chuuxue sent a housekeeper, saying that he would go back to Saibei for the New Year's Eve, and set off as soon as possible.
Su Shaoying exploded on the spot, pointing at Sun Xiuqing's stomach and said to the butler, "Can your lady owner's wife go on her way? Can she go on her way now?"
"Su Shaoxia forgive me..." The old butler also knew that the owner was wrong, but the owner is now like an ice sculpture, except that he was a little hot when discussing kendo with Ye Gucheng, and the rest of the time he was either practicing swords or meditating. It is rare for him to make a request and there is no room for negotiation. What can the housekeeper do?Just do it!
"Where is the snow blower from Ximen! Doesn't he come to the door in person for such things? Does he take my junior sister seriously!" Su Shaoying didn't want to forgive!
"Madam, my subordinates have prepared a carriage to keep warm. The horses are famous horses from Dawan, and the drivers are all seasoned veterans. They have also taken care of it along the way, so that Madam will not be wronged." The housekeeper directly told Sun Xiuqing.
"Can't we celebrate the New Year in the capital?" Sun Xiuqing asked softly.
"Ma'am, there is no one who doesn't go home during the Chinese New Year and spends the New Year at someone else's house." The old housekeeper sighed.
"Then why didn't you make plans earlier." Now that the Chinese New Year is only half a month away, it must be difficult to rush back to Wanmei Villa.
The old butler opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It's the right time to start the journey."
Sun Xiuqing closed her eyes, after all, she didn't care.Ximen Chuuxue didn't care about her as his wife, so he let her live in Yan's mansion for several months without ever visiting her.These servants didn't care about him as the mistress, so no one spoke for her, and didn't understand how she was traveling in the ice and snow with her big belly.
"Where's Ye Gucheng?" Sun Xiuqing asked again.
"City Master Ye... The owner has his own considerations." The butler blushed, not daring to look at Sun Xiuqing's mocking expression.It was agreed not to celebrate the New Year at other people's homes. Isn't Wanmei Villa in Yegucheng someone else's home?
"Get lost!" Su Shaoying smashed the teacup directly.
The butler had nothing to say, and he didn't dare to fight Su Shaoying. It was their fault, so they could only leave.
"Junior sister, don't be angry, take care of yourself, it's not worth it for that cold-hearted person. Senior brother is here, let's go back to Emei, we have Master's protection, Ximen Chuuxue doesn't dare to be presumptuous." Su Shaoying comforted in a low voice, Sun Xiuqing's eyes slightly Close, leaving a line of clear tears.
Su Shaoying was in a hurry, her younger sister was being bullied, but as an older brother, he couldn't do anything, so he could only quickly invite Qian Zeyu to comfort him, while he went to Yan Lide.
"Didn't you admire Ximen Chuuxue before?" Yan Lide asked with raised eyebrows.
"That's because I didn't know that Ximen Chuuxue was a bastard!" Su Shaoying chose to forget the black history of being an idiot sword god.
If Ximen Chuuxue did not marry Sun Xiuqing, Su Shaoying promises to only say that Ximen Chuuxue is pure in heart and unconstrained by the world.But it happens that people have closeness and estrangement. When great people pursue the avenue, there are always a few stones under their feet.Most people can only see the majesty of the great man, but not the pity of the stone.Shi Shi's relatives only resent Shi Shi's innocence and deny the big man's pursuit of character.Both are one-sided, and Yan Lide is barely involved, but after all, it has nothing to do with Shi Shi, and he just looks on with arms folded.
"Your master also said that life is your own. Like a person who drinks water, he knows how warm it is. Let Junior Sister Sun decide for herself. No matter what she does, you will support her?" Yan Lide pretended to question.
"Of course, I promised Master to take care of her, we are brother and sister!" Su Shaoying blurted out without thinking.
"Then just wait."
"Who are you waiting for?" Su Shaoying didn't understand.
He will know in the afternoon, when Ximen blows the snow.
Su Shaoying scolded the housekeeper back, and Ximen Chuuxue finally came to the door.Su Shaoying really wanted to sarcastically say something like "Your footsteps on the humble land are full of splendor", but seeing Sun Xiuqing's tearful eyes, like a punctured balloon, it disappeared in an instant, leaving space for the two of them.
I don't know what Ximen Chuuxue and Sun Xiuqing said, but Sun Xiuqing wanted to go back to Wanmei Villa with a determined face, and Su Shaoying couldn't persuade her no matter how hard she tried.
"Junior Sister Sun, if you insist on leaving, I won't persuade you. I just ask you to bring the doctor, Mrs. Wen and the girl. The people who serve you have been trained countless times in the past few months. With a tacit cooperation, you will be able to give birth less. Suffer. Besides, you need someone to wait on you on the way." Yan Lide suggested.
Sun Xiuqing pondered for a while, then agreed, "Well, thank you, Senior Brother Yan."
"I'll go with my junior sister!" Seeing that her only ally had betrayed, Su Shaoying had no choice but to do so.
"Brother, the butler is right. How can I celebrate the New Year at someone else's house. I don't want my brother to accompany me. Next year will be the year of the Chunwei Grand Competition. It will be three months. Tell me about his uncle's great achievements." Sun Xiuqing refused firmly.
Su Shaoying was so annoyed that she scratched her head and reluctantly agreed.The nose is not the nose, and the eyes are not the eyes. Sun Xiuqing was sent back to Ximen Chuixue's other courtyard in the capital.Seeing Ye Gucheng's eyes on the top of his head, fortunately, Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng are not obsessed with anything except kendo now, and no one cares about Su Shaoying's behavior, so Su Shaoying is even more angry!
After seeing off Sun Xiuqing, the Yan Mansion also began to prepare New Year's goods, pasted Spring Festival couplets, and wrote blessings.For someone with Yan Lide's status, there are still people who come to ask him for a calligraphy. This is not pasted on the gate and exposed to the wind and rain, but framed and hung in the hall for people to watch.
Yan Lide has practiced calligraphy for two lifetimes, but he never felt that he could become a calligrapher. He has always declined and only wrote from his family.This year was an exception, and I wrote a picture for Su Shaoying's courtyard.
Seeing Su Shaoying's listless appearance, Yan Lide asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm worried about Junior Sister Sun."
"Look at you, if you didn't look at Junior Sister Sun with open and clear eyes, I would have thought you admired her."
"Nonsense!" Su Shaoying suddenly bowed and jumped up like a frightened cat, saying: "We are brothers and sisters, how is it possible!"
Su Shaoying wandered around the room, muttering: "Brother Yan, why do you think so? No, even you think so, what will outsiders think? Is my sister Sun and I really too close? No wonder Ximen Chuuxue doesn't I must have misunderstood you when I came to see my junior sister. I said that it is impossible for a man to not value his wife and children. If not, I have to explain it clearly to him, and I can’t implicate my junior sister..."
"Shaoying..."
"Oh my God, it's a good thing I didn't go to celebrate the New Year with you. Otherwise, I would have jumped into the Yellow River to cleanse myself. Ximen Chuuxue is too stingy, can't I just say something? If I didn't figure it out, wouldn't it delay their husband and wife. Hehe, jealous Ximen Chuuxue, I feel a little embarrassed when I think about it..."
"Shaoying!" Yan Lide yelled, waking up Su Shaoying who was in his brain, and said helplessly, "I'm just kidding, Ximen Chuixue is so transparent, why can't I see it."
"What? Brother, you are too good at joking." Su Shaoying froze in an instant, making Yan Lide embarrassed to tease him again.
New year and new weather, this year Yan Lide married a wife, started a family and established a business, and further joined the cabinet in his career. Liu Jin, who had a good relationship with him, was officially promoted to the eunuch of Bingbi, and Xie Qian, who did not get along with him, was losing the favor of the emperor. .
Visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, as well as visiting colleagues, is the right thing to do.As the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and holds the pen, and the No. 1 inner minister, Liu Jin has a magnificent house in the inner city, and Yan Lide personally visits it.For internal officials, few high-ranking civil and military officials came to the door in person, and most of them sent confidant servants to express their importance. Yan Lide was different. He had a personal relationship with Liu Jin, and he was more approachable, and never looked down on internal officials.
Liu Jin was wearing a white fox fur and crane cloak and was waiting for him at the door. Her temperament was as gentle as jade, and she was more personable than Yan Lide. How could someone who didn't know know that this was an eunuch.
"Today you have Yuquan wine from the emperor, you are lucky." Liu Jin smiled and led Yan Lide inside.
Although it was not the first time he came here, Yan Lide was still fascinated by the scenery of Liu Jin's house.There is plum fragrance in the distance, camellias of various colors nearby, and the spring water near the lake is low, making a pleasant ding-dong sound.
"After burning the fire dragon, it is still a natural hot spring." It is impossible to have a natural hot spring in the urban area of the capital.
"Heating up is fire dragon, snow removal is salt water." Liu Jin said softly.
"A few days ago, Yushi participated in your extravagance, and I still felt wronged for you, but now I see that you have not been wronged." Yan Lide smiled.
"How can it compare to your family's big business, burning money to play, I heard that you have made hundreds of ice sculptures, Mrs. Bo smiled."
"You know again, didn't you tell His Majesty? Anyway, I don't expect to be able to hide it from the ubiquitous eyes and ears of Dongchang, but you also help me think about it." Yan Lide pretended to complain.
"Your Majesty knows that you make ice sculptures, but you don't know that you use gold and jade as decorations." Liu Jin explained.
"Thank you, I will pay attention to it next time." Fortunately, his family's ice sculptures are placed in the inner courtyard. Today is the second day of junior high school, the day when a married woman returns home. The Yan Mansion does not receive guests, so no one will find out.
Liu Jin led Yan Lide into the flower hall, and a gust of fragrant and warm wind rushed towards him, and the flower hall was also burnt down by earth dragons.Yan Lide took off his boots, and lay on the kang casually, with a big pillow on his head, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Liu Jin was also informal, made tea in a smooth manner, handed a cup to Yan Lide, and asked softly, "Why didn't you take the opportunity to pull Mou Bin down?"
"Mou Bin is an upright person, what are you pulling him down for?" Yan Lide opened his eyes and said nonsense, seeing Liu Jin dissatisfied with moving the teapot away and not allowing him to pour tea, he smiled and said: "Anyway, he didn't threaten, and his defeat is nothing to say Yong. If you pull him down, it won’t be mine, so why bother to take advantage of others.” Now Yan Lide is still eleventh in the cabinet, and there are at least ten people standing above him, so it’s not his turn to dictate the world.
"Then concentrate on dealing with Xie Qian?" Liu Jin asked.
"Yes, when the new year begins, I will give you a big gift to thank you." Yan Lide said lazily.Liu Jin didn't rush to inquire what the gift was. A secret is a secret that only one person knows. Liu Jin has long understood this truth after living in the palace for many years.
Yan Lide fell asleep in the flower hall of Liu Jin's home, rested comfortably, and only came out of Liu Jin's home two hours later, which also confirmed to the outside world the fact that they have a good relationship.Nine out of ten people who are unsatisfactory in life, and those who can talk to others are like two or three, and Liu Jin is one of the few people who can talk two or three.
Yan Lide came out from Liu Jin's house and went to Uncle Anchang's mansion to pick up Qian Zeyu. His performance at the wedding and meeting ceremony was used as a foreshadowing. Today, Yan Lide sent Qian Zeyu back and went out to socialize without receiving criticism at all. Instead, Mrs. Qian felt sorry for his New Year's Eve Still have to run around.Being an official in the middle of the capital, social entertainment takes up a large part, and during the New Year, people go to three or five households a day. There are too many people who need the same attention and the same courtesy.
After the lively and muddled New Year, it will be Spring in the blink of an eye. This year, Yan Mansion has Su Shaoying taking the exam, and the old man of Yan Mansion is already very experienced. According to Yan Lide's examination and entering the state of combat readiness, Su Shaoying's clothes and food should be prepared according to the most auspicious meaning Let's call it. These days, servants should also avoid unlucky words when speaking.In the simple worldview of servants, everything is inferior and only reading is high. Regardless of being in a martial arts world, most people still think this way.
In the tense atmosphere of the mansion, Qian Zeyu took a letter and approached Yan Lide with a dark face, "Look."
"Junior Sister Sun is back?"
"He came back with a son!" Qian Zeyu emphasized, "She just gave birth to a child, Ximen Chuuxue said that she had entered the ruthless sword, and couldn't bear to delay her, let her be free. Let her mother fart! What kind of kendo do you say, the child is not his? The woman is not his? When you take off your pants faster than anyone else, what kind of airs are you putting on now? Damn it!"
Qian Zeyu was so angry that she swears, she completely brought herself into this poor woman Sun Xiuqing.
"Okay, solemn. Why are you so angry? Look at what Mammy said in her letter. Junior sister Sun was very calm, she didn't give up on herself, and she didn't struggle with hardships. She finished her confinement calmly and took good care of herself before going out. No one can love their children more than their parents if they don't leave their children in Wanmei Villa. If Ximen Chuuxue is dedicated to proving the way of swordsmanship, then let Junior Sister Sun raise the children." Yan Lide persuaded, marriage protection has always been possessions, not love.The greatest luck in the marriage between Sun Xiuqing and Ximen Chuuxue is that both of them are not short of money, and they don't care about money gain or loss.Don't look at the vulgarity of these words, it's easiest to go back and forth during a divorce to ruin the last bit of affection, isn't it these vulgar things?
"I feel sorry for Junior Sister Sun. Ximen Chuuxue was such a good person at first, why did he suddenly change?" Qian Zeyu couldn't figure out why martial arts and swordsmanship were so important?She also practices martial arts, keeps fit, and flies over walls, but martial arts is only a small part of her life. Qian Zeyu never thought that she would give up anything for martial arts, let alone such an important thing as her family.
There may be some anger in it, the Qian family cares so much about their family members, and the descendants of their great-grandfather, even if they are of a different race, they accept tolerance.In terms of blood relationship, Ximen Chuuxueruo is related to the Qian family, and Junior Sister Sun is a relative on Yan Lide's side. Qian Zeyu sometimes feels that there is God's will in the dark, and only God can arrange such a clever marriage.But this marriage happened to be broken up, how can it not be embarrassing.
Probably not after Sun Xiuqing was poisoned, Ximen Chuuxue was moved and carried her to suppress the toxin. Ximen Chuuxue's feelings for Sun Xiuqing were not as deep as in the original book.Those sufferings will eventually bloom into flowers. Yan Lide, the butterfly, helped Sun Xiuqing block the disaster, and also blocked the beautiful turning point after the disaster.
Sun Xiuqing was still on the way from Saibei to Chengcheng, when Yan Lide received the news that the Western Demon Cult's Raksha card appeared in the world. The leader of the Western Demon Cult, Yu Luocha, died suddenly. Successor leader.Now this jade card belongs to his only son, Yu Tianbao, but Yu Tianbao is a waste, and he can't keep such a treasure. After the gambling shop exported it, Yu Tianbao also died.Once the legitimate heir of the Western Demon Cult dies, who is eligible to fight for the position of leader? That is the Western Demon Cult, the uncrowned king of the Western Regions.
Yan Lide compared the news sent by Liu Jin one by one, and suddenly found that the Western Demon Cult is also a country where politics and religion are united.The unity of politics and religion...the king surnamed Yu...the jade pendant in Ximen Chuuxue's hand...Yan Lide figured it out.
Yan Lide raised his voice and called out: "Come here, go and pick up Junior Sister Sun back to the residence, Yan Yi, you will lead the team yourself, there is no room for loss!"
"Uncle, why is this so? There are many masters in the capital. If you communicate more here, your martial arts will be more beneficial. Besides, there is also Junior Sister Sun. When the child in Junior Sister Sun's womb is born, it's not too late for you to see your disciples and grandchildren with your own eyes." Yan Lide comforted him, ignoring Su Shaoying who was killing Dugu Yihe behind him and wiping his neck to wink at him.
"No need, the old man's martial arts is not something that others can order in a few words. It is important to go back to Emei to practice in seclusion. They are all children of the rivers and lakes, so there is no need to be a reluctant woman. Xiuqing is married and has her husband's family to take care of her. If you can come to Emei to see me, I welcome it, if you don’t have the chance to see me again in this life, it’s fate.” Dugu Yihe is quite open-minded, or people who practice Buddhism are so free and easy, but Dugu Yihe is a monk who became a Taoist priest.
Yan Lide glanced at Sun Xiuqing who was pale beside him, he sounded angry at what he said.
Sun Xiuqing said with blessing: "The apprentice has let the master down."
"You live your own life. You know how warm and cold you are. It's fine if you like it." Dugu Yihe nodded and said to Yan Tieshan, "Farewell."
"Brother, go slowly, I'll go with you." Yan Tieshan said surprisingly.
"Father!" Yan Lide exclaimed in surprise. This time Yan Tieshan entered Beijing, Yan Lide thought that he was ready to live for a long time. How could Shanxi compare with the capital? Similarly, at this time, Kyoto gathers the prosperity of the world, and the best resources in the world are all here.Yan Tieshan suffered a serious physical deficit in her early years, and she should take care of her body.Besides, his son and daughter-in-law are all here, so what is he going back to Shanxi alone for?
"Father, my bones are loose after living here for three months. It's time to go back. I think the vinegar from Shanxi is fragrant." Shanxi people who have pretended for so long can no longer tell the truth from the fake. Yan Tieshan loves the air of Shanxi The aroma of vinegar permeates at any time.
"There is no jealousy..." Yan Lide was not happy, there was a tragedy of having a son who wanted to support him but would not wait for his relatives, Yan Lide still liked the vulgar family reunion.
"Father, what did the daughter-in-law do wrong to make you angry? There is no reason for a son and daughter-in-law to enjoy life in the capital, leaving the father alone in Shanxi. If you tell me what the daughter-in-law did wrong, I will definitely correct it. Don't go back to Shanxi as soon as you get angry. How can we bear this?" Qian Zeyu pretended to be pitiful.
"You girl, don't let him be a gunman. No matter how nice you say, I still have to go." Yan Tieshan is determined to leave. He doesn't like the capital, and he doesn't like such a majestic and dignified place. During the dynasty, there was no way to do it, but now I can live away from these regimes that are noble on the surface and decadent on the inside, wandering around the rivers and lakes, wishing for nothing.
"Okay, that's it." Yan Tieshan said.
"Then I..." Seeing that Yan Lide was defeated, Su Shaoying had no choice but to save herself.
"What about you? Are you going to stay in the capital and rely on the imperial examination?" Dugu Yihe snorted, blaming Yan Lide for being a bad leader, and the good people in the rivers and lakes imitating the sour style of literati.
"Master, I really want to test the extent of my knowledge." Su Shaoying knelt on the ground and asked, "Master always said that I have good aptitude, but what's so good about it? Senior brother's skill is deeper than mine, and third junior brother's swordsmanship is better than mine." I am more dexterous than me, and the junior sisters also have their own strengths. I also practiced swords desperately, trying to win glory for the master, and did many wrong things. When I saw a poem in a book later, I suddenly understood the artistic conception depicted in it. Master wants me to understand the meaning of the sword. I want to read, read more, and reading good books is the way for me to practice martial arts."
"Nonsense!" Dugu Yihe had never heard of someone who learned advanced martial arts from the Four Books and Five Classics, and only thought that Su Shaoying started telling such outrageous lies in order to stay.
Yan Lide believed him, blocked Dugu Yihe's angry palm force, and persuaded: "Uncle, there is indeed a precedent. I saw it in the Royal Library before. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a book of the highest martial arts in the martial arts. The name "Nine Yin Scriptures" is the first of all martial arts in the world. This secret book was written by Huang Shang, an imperial civil servant who did not understand martial arts at all. He learned it from Taoist scriptures. Xiu, self-taught into a generation of masters, influencing the martial arts for hundreds of years."
"You also speak for this kid. The old man has never heard of Huang Chang." Although Dugu Yihe said so, he stopped his movements. Based on his understanding of Yan Lide, he would not tell such a lie that can be easily exposed.
"Uncle doesn't believe me, I'll recite a few sentences of the general outline of the "Nine Yin Manual" for you to listen to, and you can comment on whether you have advanced martial arts." Yan Lide didn't wait for Dugu Yihe to agree, and began to recite, "The way of heaven, There is more than enough damage to make up for what is not enough, so the emptiness wins the real, and the insufficiency wins more than enough. Its meaning is broad, its rationale is profound, and its interest is deep. The phenomena of heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang...”
According to academic research, it is the "Tao Te Ching", and in the eyes of martial arts people, it should be the mental method of "Nine Yin Manual", after Dugu Yihe listened thoughtfully, he said: "Do you know how each chapter is? "
"I don't know, there is only one general outline, and it is incomplete. If there is a way of thinking or moves, I have no reason why I can't enter the treasure mountain."
Dugu Yihe felt the same, and reaffirmed: "Sure enough, there is a precedent for self-understanding advanced martial arts from books."
"Of course there are. Things in this world have the same principle. Just like going to Mount Emei, walking on the stone steps from the front mountain is the same way, and climbing from the back mountain is also the way. Now Shaoying doesn't want to take these common ways and just falls from the sky with a kite. Isn't it possible? To Jinding? You can’t think that he can’t get there just because his path doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person’s choice.” Yan Lide persuaded, if Dugu Yihe really brought Su Shaoying back to Emei, what about his Jewelry Pavilion?
"Okay then, let him practice by your side. You are the elder brother, you have to watch him closely, don't play tricks, and don't let the miscellaneous students dazzle you!" Dugu Yihe sternly said.
"Yes, yes, master, I'm going to learn from Brother Yan!" Su Shaoying hurriedly promised that he could only raise his hand to swear.
Dugu Yihe glanced at him, and walked out together with Yan Tieshan. The two old friends seemed to be back when they were teenagers swimming with each other, striding away in high spirits.
Su Shaoying got up quickly, and said flatteringly: "Brother still has a way, just a few words can convince Master, I've said so much good things these days, I'm only about to cry, make trouble and hang myself, and Master didn't agree."
Yan Lide glanced at him angrily, and said, "You think I'm lying to your master, it's true! You'd better be able to comprehend some advanced martial arts from the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise you won't be able to return to Emei in this life."
"If I don't come back, I won't go back. I will take care of Junior Sister Sun in the capital. Please don't go back when my little nephew is born." Su Shaoying is the kind of child who is spoiled by the family. Don't understand what your words mean.
"The child in my stomach kicked me again. Brother Yan, sister-in-law, brother Su, I'm going back first." Su Xiuqing nodded as a signal, and slowly turned around.
"Junior Sister, wait for me, and agree that I will take care of you." Su Shaoying caught up with Baobao and escorted Sun Xiuqing back to the yard.
After their brothers and sisters left, Yan Lide asked, "Why is Uncle Dugu angry?"
"It's just that you are careless, aren't you usually very sharp? Forget, how long has it been since Ximen Chuuxue came?" Qian Zeyu asked with a smile.
"Ximen Chuuxue... Well, he seems to have never been here before!" Yan Lide suddenly remembered that the last time he saw Ximen Chuuxue was the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City. Fuxue never came to the door. "Did the husband and wife quarrel?" Yan Lide asked uncertainly, and with all due respect, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to quarrel with Ximen Chuuxue.
"It's okay to have a quarrel. They didn't meet and didn't talk, and they couldn't even quarrel. In the past few months, the housekeeper of Wanmei Villa has delivered things on time, but Ximen Chuuxue didn't see anyone. Junior sister Sun also asked, and she said that she was practicing in seclusion. Tell me, swordsmanship is more important than wives and children, and he is already the number one sword god in the world, so what else does he practice?" Qian Zeyu said indignantly.
"Cultivation... Alas, I have finally reached this point." Yan Lide sighed, "From Ximen Chuuxue's point of view, maybe the way of swordsmanship is really more important than his wife and children. Ximen Chuuxue cultivated the way of ruthlessness. When I met him in Shanxi a few years ago, he was still In the first level: "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world." That was when he defeated most famous masters in the world, and his martial arts were already at the bottleneck. He cultivated the way of ruthlessness. How was he born in the world, so when he got married with Junior Sister Sun, he reached the second level: "The belt is getting wider and I will never regret it, and I will make people haggard because of Yixiao." At that time, Lu Xiaofeng complained that Ximen Chuuxue was not like Ximen Chuuxue anymore, just like The snow on the high mountains in Saibei finally melted under the scorching summer sun. When Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng fought on the top of the Forbidden City, let go of the love of his wife and children, and broke through again, he should hit the third realm at this time.' I searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was in a dimly lit place. At this time, martial arts are no longer martial arts, and swordsmanship is no longer swordsmanship, but a kind of way, a kind of spirit, and a kind of state. Ximen Chuuxue pursued The way of the sword is right in front of you, so it doesn't matter."
"You mean that Ximen Chuuxue is going to abandon Junior Sister Sun and her unborn child?" Qian Zeyu is always so good at focusing.
"Probably he has let go of his love for men and women, and at least he still feels guilty towards Junior Sister Sun. My son... the sword god is not a god after all. He also needs to have an inheritance. The child just happens to practice swordsmanship and inherit the will of his parents."
"It's so nice to say, doesn't it mean that as long as children don't want wives, they want to drive Junior Sister Sun away. Ximen Chuuxue is really not a thing." Qian Zeyu said indignantly.
"Ximen's pursuit of the Dao requires sacrifices..."
"Why sacrifice Junior Sister Sun!"
"Ximen himself also entered the path of ruthlessness. He doesn't care about everything in the world, and lives like an ascetic monk. What do you say about those ascetic monks' cultivation? Why do they suffer instead of enjoying blessings in a short hundred years? Isn't it just to seek proof of the Dao? They are poor in material, but full of spirit. Simon's way..."
"No matter what, don't call him Ximen anymore. The owner of Wanmei Villa is such a great person that we can't stand up to him." Qian Zeyu said angrily. She and Sun Xiuqing had only known each other for a few days. He took care of her like a younger sister for a few months, Ximen Chuuxue bullied her younger sister, so naturally he wanted to find his way back.Qian Zeyu has also been in the Jianghu, and Mrs. Kurong is also a first-class master in the Jianghu, and also pursues the pinnacle of martial arts.But in this world, no one can compare with Ximen Chuuxue, who can practice such clean and pure swordsmanship only with a pure heart of Taoism.Qian Zeyu doesn't understand, many people don't understand, it doesn't matter, Ximen Chuuxue doesn't ask others to understand him, having a father who understands him, Ye Gucheng, is very rare.
"This is about Ximen and Junior Sister Sun." Yan Lide stroked her shoulder to calm her down.
"It's even more annoying to say this. Let's not talk about it. I'll go back and see how dad and uncle are doing." Qian Zeyu stomped away in defeat.Isn't Sun Xiuqing's choice obvious if he can drive Dugu Yihe away?
After Yan Lide got married, he finally became an "adult" by convention. Before he had outstanding abilities and outstanding performance, there were always Taoist priests who accused him of not "reconciling Yin and Yang" and saying that he was not married. Now these flies have finally disappeared.The government changed again, Xie Qian offended Liu Jin, and the two sides were fighting.Yan Lide was busy with government affairs, so he naturally cared less about family affairs.
Speaking of Liu Jin, the emperor restarted the East Factory and appointed him as the supervisor. In just a few months, he was promoted to the first Bingbi eunuch of the Rites Supervisor. The second or third of the chief inspector.The emperor could not let anyone have too much power, so he appointed Gu Dayong as the governor of the East Factory.Previously, the emperor failed to implement his unreliable plan and killed a group of old ministers. The eunuchs accounted for the majority, and only Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong were left to serve the emperor with Liu Jin.Among the two, Gu Dayong's martial arts is higher, so he is the supervisor, and Zhang Yongbu is the supervisor of ceremonies.
The appointment of the ministers was originally decided by the emperor, but who made Liu Jin "go wrong", the cabinet insisted not to let him be the first eunuch of Bingbi, and the opposition was headed by Xie Qian.
Yan Lide hated Xie Qian's constant targeting of him, but he had to be fair, this time he was really dedicated to serving the country and the people, and he didn't want the eunuchs to lure the emperor.But everyone has feelings of intimacy, the emperor is especially a lover, he already felt ashamed of Liu Jin, and took advantage of this battle at the top of the Forbidden City to promote Liu Jin.As a result, Xie Qian didn't know what to do and made things stand still. Liu Jian, as the chief assistant, didn't want Liu Jin to take over.But Xie Qian has already made a move, so he doesn't have to come out to wave the flag, the cabinet always needs someone to take the helm.
Cut off the future!Hmph, Liu Jin and Xie Qian are on the line, each showing their own abilities, belittling each other by saying good things about themselves in front of the emperor, and involving half of the imperial court.The emperor didn't know what was on his mind, but he didn't stop it. The incident intensified, and Yan Lide was also swept away by the typhoon.
The emperor looked at Yan Lide differently, so he didn't need to try his best to persuade him, but just slipped Yan Lide into the Qianqing Palace to listen to his opinions.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not a question of whether Eunuch Liu is appointed or not, or whether Mr. Xie will retreat or not." Yan Lide did not dare to stand in line, and took out a list from his pocket and handed it to the emperor, saying: "These are all in support of Eunuch Liu's appointment. With regard to the list of those who do not support it, both sides insist on their own opinions, and more and more people are involved. Your Majesty sees that there are still many small officials below the fifth rank on the list. They have not even contacted Mr. Liu or Mr. Xie. No matter whether you write a letter or not, it’s all echoing what others say. Now both parties are opposing for the sake of opposition. Not only the matter of Eunuch Liu’s appointment, but those who stand in the camp of Mr. Xie. Heart, there is nothing to do with the affairs of the court, so laissez-faire, I am afraid that it will become a disaster of party struggle!"
"Why do they have so many people supporting them?" The emperor couldn't believe it according to the list. He just wanted to balance the court, not to tear down the stage. Did the two have some behind-the-scenes forces, and half of the court was involved.
"Your Majesty, this is not to support Liu Jin or Xie Qian himself." Yan Lide did not want to deceive Liu Jin, and said: "Take the minister as an example. There is a conflict between the minister and Commander Mou. If he stands on one side, the minister must stand on the other side. It doesn't matter who it is, I'm targeting Commander Mou."
"You mean that the courtiers didn't mean it, they just vented their daily dissatisfaction." The emperor was puzzled, dignified officials, wouldn't they be so boring and naive.
"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly the case." Yan Lide bowed and bowed again, and said: "Because of this, before the matter is fully fermented, break it up quickly, otherwise it will form a habit..."
"It makes sense, but we can't let it go." The emperor nodded, and suddenly asked jokingly, "How do you use Commander Mou as an example? You don't get along with him?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, when I first entered the palace, I saw Commander Mou changing shifts. In a hurry, I only thought of his example. It was very rude." Yan Lide would not admit it.
"Don't worry, I will keep it secret for you. You step back, Commander Mou is coming soon." The emperor joked.
After Yan Lide left, the emperor couldn't put pen to paper in front of the blank imperial decree, only then did he realize that he had been fooled.Yan Lide was alarmist for a long time, he didn't answer whether he supported Liu Jin as the eunuch of Bingbi, and he didn't provide a solution to the party dispute, why did he let Yan Lide go when he got hot?It seems that we have to continue to announce him into the palace tomorrow, the emperor thought irresponsibly.
....................................
It was deep winter, and the capital had already started to feel like a New Year's Eve. Ximen Chuuxue sent a housekeeper, saying that he would go back to Saibei for the New Year's Eve, and set off as soon as possible.
Su Shaoying exploded on the spot, pointing at Sun Xiuqing's stomach and said to the butler, "Can your lady owner's wife go on her way? Can she go on her way now?"
"Su Shaoxia forgive me..." The old butler also knew that the owner was wrong, but the owner is now like an ice sculpture, except that he was a little hot when discussing kendo with Ye Gucheng, and the rest of the time he was either practicing swords or meditating. It is rare for him to make a request and there is no room for negotiation. What can the housekeeper do?Just do it!
"Where is the snow blower from Ximen! Doesn't he come to the door in person for such things? Does he take my junior sister seriously!" Su Shaoying didn't want to forgive!
"Madam, my subordinates have prepared a carriage to keep warm. The horses are famous horses from Dawan, and the drivers are all seasoned veterans. They have also taken care of it along the way, so that Madam will not be wronged." The housekeeper directly told Sun Xiuqing.
"Can't we celebrate the New Year in the capital?" Sun Xiuqing asked softly.
"Ma'am, there is no one who doesn't go home during the Chinese New Year and spends the New Year at someone else's house." The old housekeeper sighed.
"Then why didn't you make plans earlier." Now that the Chinese New Year is only half a month away, it must be difficult to rush back to Wanmei Villa.
The old butler opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It's the right time to start the journey."
Sun Xiuqing closed her eyes, after all, she didn't care.Ximen Chuuxue didn't care about her as his wife, so he let her live in Yan's mansion for several months without ever visiting her.These servants didn't care about him as the mistress, so no one spoke for her, and didn't understand how she was traveling in the ice and snow with her big belly.
"Where's Ye Gucheng?" Sun Xiuqing asked again.
"City Master Ye... The owner has his own considerations." The butler blushed, not daring to look at Sun Xiuqing's mocking expression.It was agreed not to celebrate the New Year at other people's homes. Isn't Wanmei Villa in Yegucheng someone else's home?
"Get lost!" Su Shaoying smashed the teacup directly.
The butler had nothing to say, and he didn't dare to fight Su Shaoying. It was their fault, so they could only leave.
"Junior sister, don't be angry, take care of yourself, it's not worth it for that cold-hearted person. Senior brother is here, let's go back to Emei, we have Master's protection, Ximen Chuuxue doesn't dare to be presumptuous." Su Shaoying comforted in a low voice, Sun Xiuqing's eyes slightly Close, leaving a line of clear tears.
Su Shaoying was in a hurry, her younger sister was being bullied, but as an older brother, he couldn't do anything, so he could only quickly invite Qian Zeyu to comfort him, while he went to Yan Lide.
"Didn't you admire Ximen Chuuxue before?" Yan Lide asked with raised eyebrows.
"That's because I didn't know that Ximen Chuuxue was a bastard!" Su Shaoying chose to forget the black history of being an idiot sword god.
If Ximen Chuuxue did not marry Sun Xiuqing, Su Shaoying promises to only say that Ximen Chuuxue is pure in heart and unconstrained by the world.But it happens that people have closeness and estrangement. When great people pursue the avenue, there are always a few stones under their feet.Most people can only see the majesty of the great man, but not the pity of the stone.Shi Shi's relatives only resent Shi Shi's innocence and deny the big man's pursuit of character.Both are one-sided, and Yan Lide is barely involved, but after all, it has nothing to do with Shi Shi, and he just looks on with arms folded.
"Your master also said that life is your own. Like a person who drinks water, he knows how warm it is. Let Junior Sister Sun decide for herself. No matter what she does, you will support her?" Yan Lide pretended to question.
"Of course, I promised Master to take care of her, we are brother and sister!" Su Shaoying blurted out without thinking.
"Then just wait."
"Who are you waiting for?" Su Shaoying didn't understand.
He will know in the afternoon, when Ximen blows the snow.
Su Shaoying scolded the housekeeper back, and Ximen Chuuxue finally came to the door.Su Shaoying really wanted to sarcastically say something like "Your footsteps on the humble land are full of splendor", but seeing Sun Xiuqing's tearful eyes, like a punctured balloon, it disappeared in an instant, leaving space for the two of them.
I don't know what Ximen Chuuxue and Sun Xiuqing said, but Sun Xiuqing wanted to go back to Wanmei Villa with a determined face, and Su Shaoying couldn't persuade her no matter how hard she tried.
"Junior Sister Sun, if you insist on leaving, I won't persuade you. I just ask you to bring the doctor, Mrs. Wen and the girl. The people who serve you have been trained countless times in the past few months. With a tacit cooperation, you will be able to give birth less. Suffer. Besides, you need someone to wait on you on the way." Yan Lide suggested.
Sun Xiuqing pondered for a while, then agreed, "Well, thank you, Senior Brother Yan."
"I'll go with my junior sister!" Seeing that her only ally had betrayed, Su Shaoying had no choice but to do so.
"Brother, the butler is right. How can I celebrate the New Year at someone else's house. I don't want my brother to accompany me. Next year will be the year of the Chunwei Grand Competition. It will be three months. Tell me about his uncle's great achievements." Sun Xiuqing refused firmly.
Su Shaoying was so annoyed that she scratched her head and reluctantly agreed.The nose is not the nose, and the eyes are not the eyes. Sun Xiuqing was sent back to Ximen Chuixue's other courtyard in the capital.Seeing Ye Gucheng's eyes on the top of his head, fortunately, Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng are not obsessed with anything except kendo now, and no one cares about Su Shaoying's behavior, so Su Shaoying is even more angry!
After seeing off Sun Xiuqing, the Yan Mansion also began to prepare New Year's goods, pasted Spring Festival couplets, and wrote blessings.For someone with Yan Lide's status, there are still people who come to ask him for a calligraphy. This is not pasted on the gate and exposed to the wind and rain, but framed and hung in the hall for people to watch.
Yan Lide has practiced calligraphy for two lifetimes, but he never felt that he could become a calligrapher. He has always declined and only wrote from his family.This year was an exception, and I wrote a picture for Su Shaoying's courtyard.
Seeing Su Shaoying's listless appearance, Yan Lide asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm worried about Junior Sister Sun."
"Look at you, if you didn't look at Junior Sister Sun with open and clear eyes, I would have thought you admired her."
"Nonsense!" Su Shaoying suddenly bowed and jumped up like a frightened cat, saying: "We are brothers and sisters, how is it possible!"
Su Shaoying wandered around the room, muttering: "Brother Yan, why do you think so? No, even you think so, what will outsiders think? Is my sister Sun and I really too close? No wonder Ximen Chuuxue doesn't I must have misunderstood you when I came to see my junior sister. I said that it is impossible for a man to not value his wife and children. If not, I have to explain it clearly to him, and I can’t implicate my junior sister..."
"Shaoying..."
"Oh my God, it's a good thing I didn't go to celebrate the New Year with you. Otherwise, I would have jumped into the Yellow River to cleanse myself. Ximen Chuuxue is too stingy, can't I just say something? If I didn't figure it out, wouldn't it delay their husband and wife. Hehe, jealous Ximen Chuuxue, I feel a little embarrassed when I think about it..."
"Shaoying!" Yan Lide yelled, waking up Su Shaoying who was in his brain, and said helplessly, "I'm just kidding, Ximen Chuixue is so transparent, why can't I see it."
"What? Brother, you are too good at joking." Su Shaoying froze in an instant, making Yan Lide embarrassed to tease him again.
New year and new weather, this year Yan Lide married a wife, started a family and established a business, and further joined the cabinet in his career. Liu Jin, who had a good relationship with him, was officially promoted to the eunuch of Bingbi, and Xie Qian, who did not get along with him, was losing the favor of the emperor. .
Visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, as well as visiting colleagues, is the right thing to do.As the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and holds the pen, and the No. 1 inner minister, Liu Jin has a magnificent house in the inner city, and Yan Lide personally visits it.For internal officials, few high-ranking civil and military officials came to the door in person, and most of them sent confidant servants to express their importance. Yan Lide was different. He had a personal relationship with Liu Jin, and he was more approachable, and never looked down on internal officials.
Liu Jin was wearing a white fox fur and crane cloak and was waiting for him at the door. Her temperament was as gentle as jade, and she was more personable than Yan Lide. How could someone who didn't know know that this was an eunuch.
"Today you have Yuquan wine from the emperor, you are lucky." Liu Jin smiled and led Yan Lide inside.
Although it was not the first time he came here, Yan Lide was still fascinated by the scenery of Liu Jin's house.There is plum fragrance in the distance, camellias of various colors nearby, and the spring water near the lake is low, making a pleasant ding-dong sound.
"After burning the fire dragon, it is still a natural hot spring." It is impossible to have a natural hot spring in the urban area of the capital.
"Heating up is fire dragon, snow removal is salt water." Liu Jin said softly.
"A few days ago, Yushi participated in your extravagance, and I still felt wronged for you, but now I see that you have not been wronged." Yan Lide smiled.
"How can it compare to your family's big business, burning money to play, I heard that you have made hundreds of ice sculptures, Mrs. Bo smiled."
"You know again, didn't you tell His Majesty? Anyway, I don't expect to be able to hide it from the ubiquitous eyes and ears of Dongchang, but you also help me think about it." Yan Lide pretended to complain.
"Your Majesty knows that you make ice sculptures, but you don't know that you use gold and jade as decorations." Liu Jin explained.
"Thank you, I will pay attention to it next time." Fortunately, his family's ice sculptures are placed in the inner courtyard. Today is the second day of junior high school, the day when a married woman returns home. The Yan Mansion does not receive guests, so no one will find out.
Liu Jin led Yan Lide into the flower hall, and a gust of fragrant and warm wind rushed towards him, and the flower hall was also burnt down by earth dragons.Yan Lide took off his boots, and lay on the kang casually, with a big pillow on his head, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Liu Jin was also informal, made tea in a smooth manner, handed a cup to Yan Lide, and asked softly, "Why didn't you take the opportunity to pull Mou Bin down?"
"Mou Bin is an upright person, what are you pulling him down for?" Yan Lide opened his eyes and said nonsense, seeing Liu Jin dissatisfied with moving the teapot away and not allowing him to pour tea, he smiled and said: "Anyway, he didn't threaten, and his defeat is nothing to say Yong. If you pull him down, it won’t be mine, so why bother to take advantage of others.” Now Yan Lide is still eleventh in the cabinet, and there are at least ten people standing above him, so it’s not his turn to dictate the world.
"Then concentrate on dealing with Xie Qian?" Liu Jin asked.
"Yes, when the new year begins, I will give you a big gift to thank you." Yan Lide said lazily.Liu Jin didn't rush to inquire what the gift was. A secret is a secret that only one person knows. Liu Jin has long understood this truth after living in the palace for many years.
Yan Lide fell asleep in the flower hall of Liu Jin's home, rested comfortably, and only came out of Liu Jin's home two hours later, which also confirmed to the outside world the fact that they have a good relationship.Nine out of ten people who are unsatisfactory in life, and those who can talk to others are like two or three, and Liu Jin is one of the few people who can talk two or three.
Yan Lide came out from Liu Jin's house and went to Uncle Anchang's mansion to pick up Qian Zeyu. His performance at the wedding and meeting ceremony was used as a foreshadowing. Today, Yan Lide sent Qian Zeyu back and went out to socialize without receiving criticism at all. Instead, Mrs. Qian felt sorry for his New Year's Eve Still have to run around.Being an official in the middle of the capital, social entertainment takes up a large part, and during the New Year, people go to three or five households a day. There are too many people who need the same attention and the same courtesy.
After the lively and muddled New Year, it will be Spring in the blink of an eye. This year, Yan Mansion has Su Shaoying taking the exam, and the old man of Yan Mansion is already very experienced. According to Yan Lide's examination and entering the state of combat readiness, Su Shaoying's clothes and food should be prepared according to the most auspicious meaning Let's call it. These days, servants should also avoid unlucky words when speaking.In the simple worldview of servants, everything is inferior and only reading is high. Regardless of being in a martial arts world, most people still think this way.
In the tense atmosphere of the mansion, Qian Zeyu took a letter and approached Yan Lide with a dark face, "Look."
"Junior Sister Sun is back?"
"He came back with a son!" Qian Zeyu emphasized, "She just gave birth to a child, Ximen Chuuxue said that she had entered the ruthless sword, and couldn't bear to delay her, let her be free. Let her mother fart! What kind of kendo do you say, the child is not his? The woman is not his? When you take off your pants faster than anyone else, what kind of airs are you putting on now? Damn it!"
Qian Zeyu was so angry that she swears, she completely brought herself into this poor woman Sun Xiuqing.
"Okay, solemn. Why are you so angry? Look at what Mammy said in her letter. Junior sister Sun was very calm, she didn't give up on herself, and she didn't struggle with hardships. She finished her confinement calmly and took good care of herself before going out. No one can love their children more than their parents if they don't leave their children in Wanmei Villa. If Ximen Chuuxue is dedicated to proving the way of swordsmanship, then let Junior Sister Sun raise the children." Yan Lide persuaded, marriage protection has always been possessions, not love.The greatest luck in the marriage between Sun Xiuqing and Ximen Chuuxue is that both of them are not short of money, and they don't care about money gain or loss.Don't look at the vulgarity of these words, it's easiest to go back and forth during a divorce to ruin the last bit of affection, isn't it these vulgar things?
"I feel sorry for Junior Sister Sun. Ximen Chuuxue was such a good person at first, why did he suddenly change?" Qian Zeyu couldn't figure out why martial arts and swordsmanship were so important?She also practices martial arts, keeps fit, and flies over walls, but martial arts is only a small part of her life. Qian Zeyu never thought that she would give up anything for martial arts, let alone such an important thing as her family.
There may be some anger in it, the Qian family cares so much about their family members, and the descendants of their great-grandfather, even if they are of a different race, they accept tolerance.In terms of blood relationship, Ximen Chuuxueruo is related to the Qian family, and Junior Sister Sun is a relative on Yan Lide's side. Qian Zeyu sometimes feels that there is God's will in the dark, and only God can arrange such a clever marriage.But this marriage happened to be broken up, how can it not be embarrassing.
Probably not after Sun Xiuqing was poisoned, Ximen Chuuxue was moved and carried her to suppress the toxin. Ximen Chuuxue's feelings for Sun Xiuqing were not as deep as in the original book.Those sufferings will eventually bloom into flowers. Yan Lide, the butterfly, helped Sun Xiuqing block the disaster, and also blocked the beautiful turning point after the disaster.
Sun Xiuqing was still on the way from Saibei to Chengcheng, when Yan Lide received the news that the Western Demon Cult's Raksha card appeared in the world. The leader of the Western Demon Cult, Yu Luocha, died suddenly. Successor leader.Now this jade card belongs to his only son, Yu Tianbao, but Yu Tianbao is a waste, and he can't keep such a treasure. After the gambling shop exported it, Yu Tianbao also died.Once the legitimate heir of the Western Demon Cult dies, who is eligible to fight for the position of leader? That is the Western Demon Cult, the uncrowned king of the Western Regions.
Yan Lide compared the news sent by Liu Jin one by one, and suddenly found that the Western Demon Cult is also a country where politics and religion are united.The unity of politics and religion...the king surnamed Yu...the jade pendant in Ximen Chuuxue's hand...Yan Lide figured it out.
Yan Lide raised his voice and called out: "Come here, go and pick up Junior Sister Sun back to the residence, Yan Yi, you will lead the team yourself, there is no room for loss!"
