Chapter 52 Chapter Thirteen Idiots, Phrases Startle the Machine

Before I knew it, today was already the third day at Shuiyun Villa in the county guard's summer resort.After lunch, Xue Yi and Qiong Xun, in front of the two luxuriant flower trees in the courtyard, reported to Xing Yan about being found by Aunt Bai Mansion in the morning. Listening to the two sisters complementing each other and finishing their morning business, Xingyan felt it was funny, but also felt for the first time that the owner of the village, Bai Shijun, acted rather abruptly.At least, in name, he is still the head of the two women. For such a big event, Yu Li said he should let himself know.Having spent two or three days with this well-known young hero, Xingyan now realizes that, unlike Nangong Qiuyu, the son of the aristocratic family in Miaohua Palace last time, Yu Lin, a young man with high ambitions, treats others well and politely, but inside It doesn't feel so sincere.

Of course, although there is a faint feeling like this, after all, this age has distinct levels, and it is very rare for Bai Shijun to treat them like this.Thinking of this, Xingyan now feels more and more that Ju Ying has been able to get along with him for so long, which is really an anomaly. Just thinking of Ju Ying in her heart, she just heard Qiong Xun's suggestion that they should go to Ju Ying again today, because she really wants to go boating in the lake now.Hearing her suggestion, Xing Yan looked up at the sky, and found that the sky in this summer afternoon was filled with low clouds. Although the clouds sometimes covered the blazing sun, there was no wind in the small courtyard, and it was very stuffy.

In such a dreary afternoon, it is better to go to the lake to enjoy the cool breeze while holding back in the small courtyard and sweating under the heat.So Xingyan adjusted her clothes and took Qiongxu Xueyi to meet Juying at Lianhu.The group of three walked leisurely to the edge of Luqiu Lake, hidden in the shade of green poplars, and meandered towards Yudai Bridge. When they walked on the lake embankment, the clouds in the sky became more and more low.Looking southeast from the embankment where we were walking, the thick clouds in the sky seemed to press down on the sandbars connected by the long dike of Yuqiao.The waves, clouds and shadows on both sides of the water and the sky are squeezing each other, as if they are about to touch each other.

Looking at the scene in front of me, it seems that the rain is about to come. Seeing this situation, Xingyan thought in his heart: "Heh, if it's raining, it's also good to chat in Juying thatched cottage." Walking briskly along the way, we soon came to the Yudai Bridge leading to Xizhao Thatched Cottage. As soon as he arrived near the bridge, he woke up and saw a young woman with a gorgeous skirt leaning on the side of the stone railing on the curved surface of the arch bridge facing her. She was wearing a bright robe and a light helmet. Decorated with gorgeous feathers, one can tell at a glance that she is a person of status among the female guards.

Seeing the female soldier under the princess's command, Xingyan was about to go forward to ask her to report, but saw the woman suddenly turned around and said to him: "Are you Zhang Xingyan Zhang Zhang?" "Exactly. I don't know what orders the female general has?" Seeing her asking a question, Xingyan answered politely. After hearing his answer, this heroic woman was not shy, and said straight to the point: "Well, Zhang Zhang, I am the head of the guard responsible for protecting the princess. My name is Zong Yueru. I have something I want to explain to you now. , please come with me first."

Hearing so many words from the female guard suddenly, Xingyan felt a little strange.Although he heard the tone a bit domineering, he didn't mind, he turned his head and signaled to Qiongxi Xueyi, then followed Zong Yueru to a small island by the bridge under the shade of a tree. In the shade of the green trees, this handsome and heroic woman said bluntly, just like she had just reported her family name: "Master Zhang, please forgive Yueru for speaking bluntly, you and Your Highness the Princess, there is absolutely no way!" "Uh……" Unexpectedly, the guard of the sect said this directly, and Xingyan froze on the spot, unable to remember how to answer it!

On the other hand, Zong Yueru seemed to be very satisfied with the shocked look of the young man in front of him, just staring at him and telling him all the thoughts in his heart: "Just listen to me slowly. I also roughly know about your relationship with Her Royal Highness. But, Although Her Royal Highness treats you kindly, it does not mean that she is interested in you. The hall master does not know that I am the daughter of the general in charge of Jin Wuzong in front of the court, and I have known Her Royal Highness since childhood. Kindness, not to mention servants in the palace, even cats, dogs and ants, Yingju feels the same pity for her."

"So, I think you may have misunderstood the hall master before. The princess is friendly to you, and there will never be other meanings." Speaking of this, the bold daughter of the general in front of the palace thought for a while and added: "So please cut off the idea of ​​marriage as soon as possible, so as not to be sad in the future!" Speaking of this, Zong Yueru felt that she had explained the matter very clearly, so she stopped talking and just focused on the person the princess favored in front of her, waiting for him to answer. It turned out that Zong Yueru, the daughter of the Jinwu in front of the palace, was the sister of Juying's boudoir, and she usually talked about everything.The little princess, who was deeply favored by the saints, suffered from a serious illness when she was young. After being cured by the Taoist priests of the Qing Dynasty, she was told to go to the mountains and rivers to play more and cultivate her body and mind.So Zong Yueru, like her father Zong Hanzong, became the bodyguard of the little princess when she traveled in the palace.This time, when she came back to the Befu of Wushuang Xiaohou of Yulin County to escape the summer heat, she led a group of female soldiers and stationed in the buildings of Yingxiantai; while her father led a town of imperial forest troops to station in Suobushan County, the prefecture of Yulin County.And what she said just now was because she was a lobbyist for the governor of Yu Lin.Before noon, Bai Shijun secretly sent his retainers to look for her, and after meeting with her, he spoke euphemistically, expressing his deep affection for the princess.When speaking, Zong Yueru was surprised to see that this reserved and reserved young master of Changyi had reddish eye circles when he talked about emotion, as if he was full of melancholy and couldn't understand.After listening to him, Zong Yueru felt very sympathetic to his experience: he asked someone to play the flute, hoping to attract his sweetheart to meet him, but who knows, what he got was the flute player and his sweetheart hand in hand.Alas, this young Lord Bai is really unlucky!

Of course, it's not entirely for the sake of Bai Junhou that the equally high-spirited Jiangmen Hunv came to talk to Xingyan now.This princess has handed out her handkerchief since she was a child, and she knows her temperament like the back of her hand; when they were together this year, she often heard the princess mentioning the young man surnamed Zhang in front of her.Zong Yueru was secretly startled when seeing Her Highness Princess' shy and excited expression every time the name Zhang Xingyan was mentioned.You must know that the little princess Qingcheng is a golden branch and jade leaf, and only the most outstanding princes and grandchildren in the world can match her in the future.And that Zhang Xingyan, although praised by the little princess who had just opened her heart for wisdom and bravery, seems to be the world's first-class hero who knows justice, but for this precocious general girl, I still clearly understand from the princess' words The young man surnamed Zhang who boasted that he was a flower was just a small, smart and bold city dweller in the backcountry; although he entered the Shangqing Palace by chance, compared with the status of the princess Tianhuang, he was still a hundred thousand inferior. Eight thousand miles.

Therefore, in Zong Yueru's eyes, the situation in front of him is really a ridiculous farce!She felt that as a loyal vassal and friend of the princess, she was very responsible for letting this mountain and wild man die early.It was for this reason that Zong Yueru immediately agreed to help when Bai Shijun explained his intentions before noon—it would be better for the princess to marry this Changyihou son who is well-known in the capital than to be coaxed by a country boy. Therefore, she tried her best to use her most polite tone, and said what she just said to this low-born boy, Zong Yueru stared intently, just waiting for her reply——

But in Xingyan's heart, now there is only sadness left. A fact that he had been unwilling to face up to, was suddenly revealed mercilessly like this, which filled his chest with sadness.Although what the woman in front of him said was the most basic facts, but now that he let himself hear it with his own ears, his mouth was full of bitterness. For this young man who has just become acquainted with love, he has been reluctant to use his ingenuity to seriously guess Ju Ying's origin.But now, on the second day that he and Ju Ying joined hands in the boat, everything was unavoidable; the faint fantasy in his heart was ruthlessly shattered by someone's calm words. So silent and speechless, with mixed emotions in his heart, Xingyan suddenly saw the heroic girl in front of him, who was staring at him with two burning eyes——Suddenly, the stubbornness in his bones suddenly surged up again ;So Xingyan felt that he suddenly figured it out: "Ha! Could it be that what this Zong girl said is not the truth? I shouldn't have wishful thinking about the princess. However, since the first day I met the princess, the two have been Let nature take its course and communicate sincerely; if this is the case, why should I feel ashamed and sad?" It seemed that in just a moment, he thought about it all at once.So, Zong Yueru, who was in the shade with a serious face, suddenly grinned when he saw the person in front of him who was staring blankly. "why are you laughing?" After I couldn't help asking, I saw the young man in front of me suddenly smiled again, and in the blink of an eye he was already cheering.He laughed and said, "Miss Zong, I still want to thank you today!" "...thank me for what?" Hearing his words, Zong Yueru was at a loss. "Of course I would like to thank you. Because, as a young man in Shengdou, I thought it would be a blessing to know the princess; I didn't expect to hear the reminder from Miss Zong today, and then I knew that I could still marry the current princess!" "You really awakened the dreamer with just one word! Thank you very much!" After laughing and bantering, the young hall master, who returned to his unruly attitude, left the stunned woman behind, and walked away with a smile. ... After a long time, the stunned Zong Yueru woke up like a dream, and thought in horror: "No wonder the princess said that this person is bold; I saw it today, it really is!" When I was horrified, I thought about it again, when this handsome young man burst into madness just now, there was an indescribable arrogance, Zong Yueru immediately became more frightened, and hurriedly chased in the direction of Yingxiantai.Who knows, when she rushed to the thatched cottage where the princess lived, she heard the report from the female soldier that the princess had accompanied the Hall Master Zhang to row a boat on the lake. "Princess...accompany?!" Noticing that the female soldier said the word "accompany" naturally, Zong Yueru was so angry that her brows stood on end! After about half an hour, the person who entrusted Zong's guards to negotiate a peace, listened to her finish the matter in the side hall, and sat in front of the case speechless. After a while of embarrassing silence, Zong Yueru saw the amorous young man stand up and said calmly: "Miss Zong, thank you, you have done your best on this matter. I think that Zhang Zhang, what he said was just a joke." After calmly speaking, the pale young master forced a smile to the person in front of him again, and said apologetically, "I made Miss Zong laugh, now I want to be alone." Hearing his words, Zong Yueru, who didn't know how to comfort him, gave him an apologetic look, then turned and prepared to leave.Just when she had just arrived at the door, she suddenly heard the Wushuang young master behind her say again: "By the way, Shijun remembered, and there is one more thing I want to trouble Miss Zong." "What is it?" Zong Yueru turned to look at the people in the hall. "That's right. Tonight, Shijun arranged a banquet at Zhenliutai. I would like to invite Her Royal Highness, Hall Master Zhang, and two girls, Kou Xueyi and Zhang Qiongxun, to enjoy the lake view together. Ms. Zong, can you send a message for me?" When Zong Yueru heard the words, she immediately agreed.After Bai Shijun asked her to enjoy the banquet as well, Zong Yueru turned and left. After another while, when he heard the light and steady footsteps outside the door gradually fading away, and finally disappeared, Bai Shijun turned around and said to the black jade screen on the northwest side of the hall, "Xianchang, what are you doing?" Look?" Following his questioning, a person came out from behind the screen, twisted his beard and said: "Please allow me to go to the banquet tonight, my lord." "Oh?" "My lord, I heard that there was an accident when someone was performing a spell at the banquet the night before, so I want to make a fool of myself tonight..." "Very good. Then tonight, please." These few unhurried answers echoed several times in the deep and tall hall, and it seemed to become a little gloomy. After talking with the person behind the screen, the governor of Yulin thought of something, and said to himself: "It's strange, how can the governor of Duluo County in Cangwu, the neighboring county, send someone to send relief food?" Skip the gossip; tonight, the Linshui night banquet in Shuiyunzhuang will be held on time in the middle of You hour. Different from the night on the fifteenth day, there are many fewer guests at the banquet tonight, and there are many faces, which I have never seen before.As for the number of seats related to him this time, it was basically the same as last time, he sat next to Bai Shijun with Ju Yingqiongxi and others.The slight difference is that now, between Xingyan and Ju Ying, there is already a girl with a knife with an expressionless face. After entering the table, the delicious food and wine will be handed over like water.After drinking and chatting for a while, it was almost the same as last time. Suddenly, he heard a long laugh at the end of the banquet, and someone said loudly: "Dear friends, if the night banquet by the water is just drinking and chatting, it's really boring; why don't you let the poor Do you want to demonstrate a little illusion to help everyone feel good?" Waking up and hearing the sound, he saw a square-faced Taoist priest in a khaki robe at the end of the ceremony, standing up and smiling at everyone.In the light of the tower, it was clearly visible that this square-faced Taoist with prominent cheekbones had a bean-sized black mole on the corner of his mouth, with a few hard beards growing on it, reflecting the light of the candles in the banquet. The host was overjoyed when he heard that someone invited him to join in the fun. He applauded and said, "Good! It's been a long time since Master Flying Zodiac demonstrates the immortal technique, and I'm about to open my eyes tonight!" Hearing what he said, everyone at the dinner agreed. However, just as everyone was chatting with each other, the delicate little girl who came with Xingyan suddenly let go of a grape she was peeling, and stared blankly at the person standing at the end of the table. A moment later, when the flying zodiac master took a gourd from his waist and was about to demonstrate the spell, he woke up and suddenly heard someone beside him asking him in a soft voice: "Brother... If Joan If you are naughty and accidentally make trouble, will my brother blame me?" Xingyan was stunned when he heard the words, turned around a little, and saw that little girl who looked like a flower bone was staring at him intently. Seeing Qiongxu suddenly put on such a cautious look, Xingyan couldn't help laughing, and replied: "Sister Qiongxu, how could brother blame you so easily?" "Actually, if a child makes some mistakes, even the Patriarch of Sanqing will forgive him..." ——As soon as the words fell, Xingyan was suddenly surprised to see that the light in Xiao Qiongxu's eyes suddenly tightened, and an angry look appeared on his face! "..." "Too bad, I actually forgot to avoid her taboo!"
