[Sword III + Magic Dao] Apprentice training strategy

Gusu Lan's family banquet is neither lively nor gorgeous, even the children's full moon banquet is the same. It is a small banquet, except for a few specially invited relatives, the rest are all in the same white clothes and the same cirrus clouds With white tattoos and foreheads, the same expression is solemn and even dull, as if they are all members of the Lan family carved out of the same mold.

Wei Buqi's name was also chosen, called Wei You, and it was entered into the genealogy of the two families together with Lan Min.The two parties agreed that the full moon banquet will be held in Gusu and the first year banquet will be held in Luoyang.

The full moon banquet is nothing more than holding out for everyone to recognize the face, and to give the child a clear way.After today, no one can question the bloodline and identity of these two children.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji hugged their two children, and they were soft-hearted when they received the gift.Longevity locks, bracelets and jade pendants, calligraphy and painting pens and inks, and spiritual weapons, and even more outrageous is the collection of Yazheng given by Lan Qiren, which made Wei Wuxian dumbfounded, because he was afraid that he would spoil the child, so he wanted them at such a young age Learn family rules and etiquette, are your words and deeds upright?

The two children still don't know their future miserable days, and they are happy all the way. Seeing everyone smile, people can't help but feel fond of them.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed and took a rest.

Lan Xichen accompanies Meng Wujiu for a walk in the moonlight somewhere in the deep clouds.

"Second Brother is happy today?" Lan Xichen kept smiling, this kind of smile was not the usual polite one, but a sincere one from the heart.

"Is it obvious?" Lan Xichen stopped to look at him and asked.

Meng Wujiu had noticed it a long time ago, and couldn't help teasing, "Of course, everyone can tell that Second Brother is so happy. Those who know know that Second Brother is happy for Wangji, but those who don't know may be You would think that the second elder brother had a child."

"I'm happy for Wangji. I thought he would be able to get what he wanted, and forming a pact with Wuxian would be the best ending. Who would have thought that there would be two such lovely children under his knees. What's more, Wangji has Now that I have an heir, my Gusu Lan family will also have an heir, and I have let go of one thing."

"If Mr. Zewu wants to get married, the fairies in the world of cultivating immortals will not be happy." Meng Wujiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "If you get married and have a wife, you will naturally have children. Don't talk about Gusu Lan Shi, even if you have a little more family business, are you afraid that no one will inherit it? If the second brother wants to snatch Wangji's child, be careful and Wuxian will be in a hurry with you."

"Ayao was joking. Marrying a wife and having children is not such a simple matter. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, anyone can be the mistress of my Gusu Lan clan. Some time ago, the elders of the clan were also tactful. They persuaded me to get married, but I have never even met the fairies they mentioned. How can we talk about marriage? Wouldn't it be a waste of life. What's more, I also..." Lan Xichen glanced at him and talked about what he hadn't said. Yan swallowed, and said something else with a smile, "Now that the Gusu Lan family has an heir, they probably won't look for me again."

Meng Wujiu was taken aback, so have you seriously thought about marrying a wife and having children?In the night, his eyes darkened, as fast as lightning, even Lan Xichen beside him didn't have time to see clearly.After a while, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Wangji's child is Wangji's. Second brother, don't you want your own child? As cute as Wangji's child, you can hold his hand and teach him to walk. Wait until he grows up , you can also teach him to read and write, learn to play the piano and practice swords, and watch him grow from a small and soft child to a gentle and humble gentleman like the second brother? The second brother has no favorite fairy now, maybe in the future With that, we can’t say it with such certainty.”

"Ayao seems to like children very much?" Lan Xichen looked at him suspiciously, not knowing why he was so entangled in the child's problem, and said with a smile, "If Ayao likes children, why don't you ask Master Lin, where are you?" If there are any more children you picked up, you might as well pick up two more, if Ayao likes them, she can raise them, if she doesn't like them, my Gusu Lan family can raise as many as they want."

Meng Wujiu glanced at him, what he said, if the child is so easy to pick, how can there be so many people in the cultivation world who clearly look down on the unfavorable son in the family, but because of this one, they have to The patient parent.Like Jiang Fengmian, if it wasn't for the fact that the Yunmeng Jiang Clan had only one heir, Jiang Cheng, and he didn't want to have another child with Yu Ziyuan, he wouldn't have spent a hundred times more on Jiang Cheng.

Lan Xichen saw that he was no longer entangled with the child's problem, so he invited: "Ayao stay tonight, how about talking with me by candlelight?"

"No, there are still a lot of important things waiting for me to deal with at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay longer today. I'm about to ask my second brother to resign."

Although somewhat regretful, it was not incomprehensible. Lan Xichen could only say, "Is that so? Well, the future will be long. Next time, Ayao can't shirk."

"Thank you, Second Brother." Meng Wujiu said goodbye to him without any surprise, but the smile on his face disappeared as soon as he turned around.Lan Xichen, what would you do without these two children?Marry a wife and have children, treat her with respect as a guest, make a covenant with a white head, and make friends with me, a gentleman, will you not exceed or exceed it?Meng Wujiu's eyes were dark, suddenly he didn't dare to think about it.

Lan Xichen, in your heart, what am I?

After that day, the exchange of letters between the two continued as usual, and the news never stopped.It's just that meeting is difficult, Meng Wujiu has not invited Lan Xichen to be a guest in the letter for a long time, and when Lan Xichen invited him, he also refused because he had something to do.Lan Xichen took Yu Jian's initiative and ran over to look for him, but found that there was no one there. Either he happened to be somewhere else, or he was invited and was not at home, or he was busy and couldn't spare time to receive him.

Time and time again, they always miss it perfectly, and Lan Xichen would be a fool if he didn't understand.

A Yao is avoiding him.

But why, obviously before that, their relationship was very good, so good that he even felt that even if he didn't speak, Ayao understood his intentions in his heart, why now he wanted to say it, but Ayao avoided it Talk, the attitude of refusal is obvious.

After missing Meng Wujiu again, Lan Xichen left a letter inviting him to meet up in Yunshen on the fifteenth day of next month.The tone was a little tough and pleading.

After he left, Meng Wujiu walked out of the room, seeing the letter he left behind, the corner of his mouth twitched, he didn't expect that Mr. Zewu, who was praised by the world for his gentleness, would have such a tough side, as a special treat for him He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

However, after being cold for so long, there should be a result.

Meng Wujiu went to Yunshen's unknown place as scheduled.

The scenery in Yun Shen's unknown place is the same as the people of Gusu Lan's family, light and elegant, with big magnolia blooming one after another, swaying in the wind, elegant and generous.

Lan Xichen stood in the courtyard of the cold room and waited for him. He didn't know how long he had been waiting. His whole body was like a sculpture, motionless.The person is still the same person, standing tall and tall, with white clothes covering his forehead and flying together, Ling Ran is like a fairy, and his white boots are spotless.It's just that after seeing him, the handsome face of the No. [-] son of the aristocratic family showed a bit of flattery and a bit of grievance, like an exiled fairy who fell into the mortal world, and was tainted with a bit of red dust.Meng Wujiu's eyes trembled, he couldn't help sighing, he had never been able to refuse Lan Xichen, that's why he avoided seeing Lan Xichen these days, just to make himself sober and think things through.

"Ah Yao is getting busier now, and it's not easy for me to see her." Although there was a smile on her face, her tone was somewhat lonely.

"What Second Brother said makes no sense." As if Lan Xichen's refusal was an illusion, Meng Wujiu said with a puzzled face, "If Second Brother invites you, why should I not?" You see , don't I just drop the business in hand and come to see you?

"I can't say no to you." Seeing that Meng Wujiu's attitude towards him was the same as before, Lan Xichen shook his head and said with a smile, "Second brother is very happy that Ayao can come today."

Lan Xichen invited him to sit in the cold room, and poured water for him to make tea. Seeing him holding the teacup with an expression of admiration on his face, his heart was full of joy, and the smile on his face deepened. The fear, loss, and grievance that arose have long since disappeared.

Lan Xichen looked at him intently, and said softly, "Ayao, I invited you here today because I have something to say to you."

Meng Wujiu lowered his head, he didn't know what he was thinking, rubbed the teacup in his hand, his expression changed a few times, when he raised his head, he was still smiling and groaning, as if he was listening attentively.

"Since the day I was born, I have been the heir of the direct line of the Lan family and the young master of the Lan family. I grew up in the expectation of my uncle. I am upright, dignified, self-restraining, and polite, and I must be owned by the Gusu Lan family." I can set an example for my disciples, and I can't make a little mistake that is insignificant in the eyes of others. Wangji can be alone, alienated, and do whatever he wants, but Lan Xichen can't, he must be gentle and humble, even if the other party He completely despises Lan Xichen's character and temperament, but he still needs to treat each other with courtesy and maintain a superficial friendship, because Lan Xichen must be perfect."

"Because of my mother, my father has been suffering all the year round. Although he is called the suzerain, in fact, he never interferes with the affairs of the Lan family. Although my uncle never said anything, I know he is disappointed. Not only the uncle, but also the elders of the Lan family. I am also disappointed with my father. It’s just that the ancestors of the Lan family entered the world of mortals for one person at the beginning of the family, and then entered Buddhism for that person. Wangji and Wuxian, no matter how uncles and elders think about it, but as long as Wangji agrees, the others may disagree, but they won’t say it.”

"But I can't. I've known since I was a child that I can't be like my father who abandoned the family etiquette for one person. The Gusu Lan clan is where I grew up. It raised me up and made me a talent. I respect and love it. It, guard it. No matter in the past, present or future, the family is very important to me. Therefore, I chose to escape, not daring to face my feelings. The relationship with the destined person is indecisive, unstoppable, procrastinated, so it is my fault for hurting Ayao's heart."

"Wang Ji seems indifferent, but in fact he is softer than anyone else. His feelings are pure and simple. If he likes it, he likes it. Even if that person is a man, even if that person stands opposite most people in the world, he has no fear or regret. But I can't, I can't let my uncle down, I can't shame the Lan family, and I can't let the Lan family's bloodline be cut off in my hands, so even if I am happy in my heart, I dare not say it."

"Ayao, I don't want to lie to you. My heart pleases you. This joy may not be as pure as Wangji's feelings for Wuxian, but it is all I can give. Ayao, this kind of me, Would you like to stay with me for the rest of your life?"

Lan Xichen looked at him with burning eyes, afraid that he might miss something.

The smile on Meng Wujiu's face has long been put away. Lan Xichen's confession clearly put him behind the family, and it may continue to be like this in the future. It would be a lie to say that it is not uncomfortable, but it is not tempting to say It is also impossible, let me ask, in this world, besides him, who else can get so close to Zewu Lord Lan Xichen's heart?

He raised his head, looked directly at Lan Xichen, and found that his eyes were full of cautious anticipation, as well as a well-hidden apprehension that he would never mistake.His second brother should always be the bright moon in the sky, pure and flawless, glamorous over everyone, the majestic suzerain of the Gusu Lan clan, No. 1 in the list of aristocratic sons, when did he become so unconfident?

"Second brother, you say that you are not as pure as Wangji, but how can I be as innocent as Wuxian?" Second brother treats me with sincerity, how can I not treat each other with sincerity, "Second brother said that the family is important In everything, parents and relatives are important people, but I also know that my second brother treats me sincerely, because I am not worthy of my second brother."

"Second brother is the moon in the sky, and I am the mud on the ground." Meng Wujiu stopped Lan Xichen who was hesitating to speak, and continued, "It's not about the difference in status. After the nightless meeting, that person died. Dao Xiao, and my long song is in full swing, even if those people look down on me in their hearts, they dare not say it."

"Before I met my master, I lived in a flower house. I saw the most unbearable and dirty side of human nature when I was a child. The first thing I learned was the importance of fame and wealth. So, even if I later understand the truth Too much, I still don’t take fame and fortune lightly, I want to stand on a high ground, I want the world to agree with me, in order to achieve my goal, I don’t mind using means, conspiracy, I will use it if I can.”

"Second brother is a gentleman, gentle and refined, and treats people with sincerity. Everything he does is for the Gusu Lan family, for the common people in the world, and Fa Wen is also for survival, not to mention saving countless lives on the battlefield. His admiration is worthy of the world, but I do things, no matter what the process is, but the result is for myself, for myself to stand higher and climb further. If there is no me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the second brother, marry a wife and have children, and be the best Lanshi Suzerain, be the gentleman of Zewu people."

"However, these days, after much deliberation, I'm still unwilling to give up such a good second brother. Now, I just want to ask, is my second brother still willing to get along with me?"

"I wish." Lan Xichen waited for him to finish, and immediately said, "Ayao, don't belittle yourself, the achievements you have achieved now are what you deserve, and it's not a false name. Ayao thinks that everything she does is for Myself, but what I saw was the good deeds that Ayao did for the sake of the common people in the world. Without Ayao's leadership in the expedition to shoot the sun, the Hundred Families Alliance would have lost many manpower , building monitoring towers in remote areas, detecting evil spirits, countless living people, and now the cultivation academy that is being promoted will educate countless people. If you take out any of these things, who would dare to say that Ayao is selfish? No matter the most It was for something at the beginning, but in terms of the result, it’s just the same goal through different routes.”

"I think Ayao thinks too highly of me. I am the suzerain of the Lan family, how can I be a real gentleman? I understand the difficulty of Ayao's situation, and I also know your methods of doing things. There are some things that you have to do as a last resort. , I have never blamed you. I am happy with Ayao, and if Ayao really makes any mistakes in the future, I am willing to share with you. So, is Ayao satisfied?" Lan Xichen said lightly. With the promise to share the fault, Meng Wujiu's expression was extraordinarily complicated.

He bowed his head and muttered to himself: "Second brother, you don't need to do this."

"Ayao, I know how scruples you have in your heart, but there is only one person destined by the Lan family. I have made it clear to you today, and I will never go back on my word in the future. If you don't want to, I won't force you." Even so, his expression was obviously not as chic as his words.

Meng Wujiu couldn't see the slightest pitiful look on his face, so he agreed, "Okay."

Lan Xichen smiled slightly, Ayao was like a snail shrunk in its shell, always tentatively stretching out its tentacles, if something went wrong, she immediately shrank back into the shell and turned a deaf ear, if she didn't force her, she didn't know when she would be able to achieve a positive result.

Seeing his smile, Meng Wujiu suddenly came to his senses, he was being tricked by Lan Xichen in his feelings, his mind was fixed, and his rationality returned instantly, "Second brother, maybe it's too early to say this now, I don't know if there is any If I express my heart to Mr. Lan, he may agree? Besides, I have too many things to do now, and I probably don’t have time to discuss life-long events, why don’t we talk about them in a few years, how about it?”

"Ayao has the final say." Lan Xichen agreed, "I will tell my uncle on a certain date, and when my uncle agrees, I will propose marriage to Changge. When Ayao agrees, we will form a contract."

Meng Wujiu snorted coldly, you've already thought about everything, and you asked me what to do, couldn't help but roll your eyes at him.

Lan Xichen smiled slightly, like spring wind turning into rain, warming his heart.Meng Wujiu, who was looking at him, blushed instantly, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but touch his forehead, it really is the beauty that deceives people.
