Tianhong Temple has been renovated, it is no longer the original magnificent appearance, but although the courtyard has shrunk a lot, the atmosphere is much more solemn than before, in the magnificent morning glow, the temple reflected in the trees, the pale yellow courtyard wall and the blue-gray temple ridge, it seems extraordinarily quiet, like a silhouette floating on the floating clouds.
Xu Ziming stood on the steps outside the hall, waiting for Cheng Muyou and Jiang Xixi, who went in to enshrine the tablet.
A heavy bell rang in his ears, smashing a small crack in his already uneasy heart: Cheng Muyou was going to set up a few tablets in the temple for his family today, but he refused.
Jiang Xixi's father was killed by the Liao soldiers, although this matter has nothing to do with him, but after all, he has the blood of the Liao people in his body, so he doesn't want to put his family's spiritual seat next to him anyway, so he casually found a reason to prevaricate.
However, along the way, seeing Jiang Xixi's sad face, he was still sad in his heart, and he always felt that he couldn't live with her, but he didn't dare to tell the truth and discuss, so he was worried all the way, and he didn't find a reason to comfort himself.
At this moment, he sighed to the sky for a while, rubbed the soles of his shoes on the steps for a while, and the anxiety and irritability in his heart could not be relieved for a while. was sighing for a long time, but her foot kicked the leg of a pilgrim who was climbing the stairs, the woman let out a low scream, and her body was unstable and wanted to fall backwards, but fortunately, Xu Ziming's eyes were quick and grabbed her arm at once, otherwise, she should have come up from where and rolled down now.
Xu Ziming was shocked by this change, hurriedly let go of his hand, and said loudly, "Girl, I'm really sorry, I was careless and almost caused a big disaster." ” The woman with a hairpin full of beads didn't say anything, staring at Xu Ziming coldly with both hands, but the little maid behind her stepped forward and spat at Xu Ziming's face, "You also know that you almost caused a big disaster, if my girl really falls, you can't afford to lose the lives of your family." ” Xu Ziming was very arrogant when he heard her speak, so he secretly glanced at the woman from the corner of his eye, and saw that she was wearing a dark gold tulle skirt, a water-green silk gown, a silver-leaf jade hairpin on her head, a thousand beads and gold bonds, and a pair of red sandalwood crystal jade bracelets on her wrists.
He has been in exile for half his life, and he has already developed a personality of following the rules and being obedient, avoiding everything and never causing trouble, so when he encounters such a change today, the first thought is to bow down and apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's Xu who was careless, and please don't remember the villain, forgive me this time." ” The little maid smiled coldly, "Forgive?
My young lady's daughter, how can you just apologize in your mouth?
” Xu Ziming's heart tightened, "Then what should I do so that the girl can no longer be angry?"
” The little maid smiled again, and pointed down, "Miss's upper is dirty, if you kneel down and wipe my lady's shoes clean, my lady is magnanimous, and may spare you." ” Xu Ziming was taken aback, struggled a few times in his heart, and finally pursed his lips, and whispered in his mouth, "There is gold under the man's knees, how can I kneel to a girl who is not related to him." ” The little maid snorted, "Do you know who my young lady is?"
It is your blessing to be able to kneel to her.
But if you don't kneel today, it will make my young lady unhappy, and you will feel good in the future. ” These words poked Xu Ziming's sore spot, he was afraid that the matter would be big and would expose his identity as a Liao person, which is nothing, the most important thing is that he settled in Xin'an under the protection of Cheng Muyou, if his identity is exposed, it may affect Cheng Muyou, which is what he cares about the most.
Cheng Muyou is his savior, and he would rather die himself than affect him.
Thinking of this, Xu Ziming's throat rolled a few times, and finally made up his mind, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his knees bent. said that it was too late, Jiang Xixi rushed down from the steps, grabbed his arm, pulled him up hard, and exclaimed, "Brother Xu, what are you doing?"
Why kneel down to them?
” "He almost tripped my young lady, can he still be wronged by kneeling?"
The little girl came to Jiang Xixi's face with her teeth and claws, and her fingers almost poked her face.
However, before she finished speaking, she was pushed away by the people behind her, and the girl who had not been angry walked up from behind, glanced at Jiang Xixi, and said coldly, "Who are you and why are you wearing official uniforms?"
” Jiang Xixi saw that her eyes seemed to be on the top of her head, so she was not to be outdone, "I am the official of Xin'an Mansion, and this Brother Xu is also from our Xin'an Mansion, although he stumbled on the girl, but it must be unintentional, why should the girl be unforgiving, it is difficult for such a strong man." ” Hearing Jiang Xixi's words, the woman snorted coldly in her nose, "The way of the world has changed, and a little official now dares to speak out in front of me." ” Although her voice was small, there was a very obvious contempt in it, Jiang Xi was so angry that she was about to fight back, but she heard Cheng Muyou's voice coming from behind, "This world has always been like this, but you, girl, I am afraid that you are confined by your own shallowness and ignorance, and lack the most basic understanding of human nature." ” The woman was stunned, she looked at Cheng Muyou who was walking slowly down the steps, and a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, "She is the official of Xin'an Mansion, no matter how big your official is, she is just the county commander of Xin'an Mansion, do you know who my father is?"
How dare you contradict me like this?
” Cheng Muyou pursed his lips and smiled, "I don't know and don't want to know who Ling Zun is, but he has cultivated such a brutal daughter, there must be nothing else to be desired except for being a big official," Seeing that the girl was so angry that her face turned pale, he continued, "If the girl is dissatisfied with today's events, you can come to Xin'an Mansion with Ling Zun to find me, and I will give you an explanation when the time comes."
Xin'an Mansion is busy with affairs, and a few of us have to rush back, so I won't accompany you. ” After speaking, he ignored the little maid who followed behind and shouted, waved his hand at Jiang Xixi and Xu Ziming, and leisurely walked down the stairs, without even looking back.
It wasn't until he walked out of the gate of Tianhong Temple that Xu Ziming walked to Cheng Muyou's side in a panic and said to him timidly, "My lord, that girl looks like she is not small, you have offended her for me now, if she is investigated in the future, how can it be good?"
” Cheng Muyou glanced at him and said loudly, "What is she pursuing?"
If you think you stained her embroidered shoes, you will compensate her for a pair, the money is not enough, I will borrow you, and use your moon silver to pay on credit first. ”
