Eopinth Chapter 22: I'm not born, I'm old 2
The shell was handed over to a clean palm. Seeing that the bodyguard of the East Palace had gone away, he slowly came out of the shell. Song Jing's so-called promise to deliver it in person was just to accompany him to Pingshui Town in person, and never touched the strange-shaped shell with his own hands.
It's really strange. The man holding the shell at this moment also felt the same way. He turned his palm and looked at it a few times, and there was a sound in his mouth.
Seeing that he didn't look at himself, he had a deeper understanding of Ji Yufu and the Fuqin Palace. He was calm on the surface and bowed slightly: "Please lead the way, sir."
Unexpectedly, although the man was a scholar, he didn't know how to be polite at all. He was completely indifferent to her words. He smiled and said to himself, "I don't know what Ping Luan will think when he sees it. I must say that this shell has no shape and no color. I have to hide from her."
Hearing his words, a burst of anger came from her heart. If she hadn't had no body now, she would have slapped the man a few times. Wei Tanyi is kind to her, and she respects her like a god, but she doesn't need to treat this Ji Yufu and his uninhabited scholar.
"I don't know what this shell is from. I have to go down the mountain to greet it." With that, the man finally turned to the mountain and hid it in his sleeve with a shell in his hand.
Si Si didn't say anything and followed him to Yanzhu Mountain.
This is the early morning of late winter. The mountain is foggy, and you can hardly see the path on the ground, but the man seems to remember the direction and steps. A few steps go up and down. It was not until he suddenly became enlightened in front of him that he was surprised to find that the mountain was already at his feet, and the stone steps winding up, pointing to a small mountain gate.
When she was still alive, she had heard of the Fuqin Palace several times, and she was distracted. The man had already strode forward without waiting for her or urging her.
The vestibule was quieter than expected. Only a few children dressed as servants cleaned the snow, and the scenery in front of them was as quiet as a painting. When the children saw the men dressed as scholars, they all stopped the broom and saluted: "Lord of the Second House." Only then did I realize that this man was Pei Shaoyin, the owner of the second palace of Fuqin Palace in the mouth of Wei Tanyi.
"Where is the palace master now?" Pei Shaoyin asked.
A child Yaoyao pointed out: "In order to receive guests, the owner of the palace made a special trip to Shufeng Pavilion to bathe. He told that the owner of the second palace came back, so he took the guests to the warm jade hall. The owner of the third palace will wait there." The man just nod his head, and another child with a naughty expression asked with a smile, "Master of the Second Palace, why don't you see the guests?"
Pei Shaoyin smiled bitterly: "There are no guests. Welcome back a shell." The children immediately came up and clamored to see, but he just didn't let him.
"Pep Shaoyin, why did you come back alone? Where's the guest?" A loud female voice came, and the children hurriedly picked up the broom to work, while the man spread out his hands helplessly: "The lion roar of the owner of the three palaces is really great. Even the students should be in awe, or the students should go to discuss with the palace master. It is enough to have only one master of the Fuqin Palace. The students have a leisure time, which is also a little Walk around in your spare time.
The woman in red frowned and stepped forward a few steps: "Who is with you? The palace lord sent you down the mountain to pick up guests. Why did you come back alone?"
Pei Shaoyin spread out his palm: "The guest is here."
The woman looked down and blurted out, "What is this?"
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense. In case this shell is human, it will bite you later!"
The hand that had just been stretched out suddenly shrank back, and the woman stared: "Ping Shaoyin, don't pretend to be a ghost!"
The quenching on the side smiled instead. It turned out that she misunderstood. She thought that Wei Tanyi was born in Fuqin Palace. Everyone here must be a wizard, but now it seems that Pei Shaoyin can't see her along the way. The woman in red in front of her doesn't have to guess that she is the owner of the Three Palaces, Pingluan, the strange senior who likes to stuff all kinds of red clothes for the brothers and sisters of Wei Rong.
The two of them bickered, and the gunpowder smoke was everywhere but it was also warm. They looked at it and envied them. They just didn't know what they had to do with each other. They were so close. The woman in red even raised her fists several times and tried to fight. Knowing that she would not attack the man, she quickly dodged quickly. Others seemed to have a tacit understanding.
"No matter what medicine is sold in the palace owner's gourd, let's go to the warm jade hall first. The palace owner's screen retreated, and I'm afraid it won't come out for a while. If the guest doesn't drink tea, you just wash your hands with that water, frozen like pickled radishes. Gu Pingluan looked at him contemptuously.
Pei Shaoyin laughed and said, "Thank you, Master Gu Sangong, for your care. The students are going now."
The warm jade hall is built by the hot spring of Yanzhu Mountain. Even in this cold winter, the humidity is still extremely warm.
Kuisi drifted into the room and finally had a sense of stability when she saw a set of tea utensils that were more complicated than that of Yue Zhai - at least the obsession of drinking tea was the same.
After a long time, Pei Shaoyin at the table began to doze off, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. He woke up and sat up straight. He saw the carved wooden door slamming open, and a man in black broke in.
At that age, in his early thirties, he wore black clothes funnyly, and his long hair was dripping wetly.
"Lord of the Palace!" Pei Shaoyin hurriedly greeted him. If it hadn't been for his voice, I would never have regarded the person in front of him as the owner of the Fuqin Palace - the gentle and modest owner of the second palace, and the hot and irritable owner of the three palaces. The two formed a complementarity, and I didn't expect that the master was so sloppy.
Pei Shaoyin quickly tidied up his clothes: "Why did the palace master come out like this?"
Ji Yufu patted his forehead: "I haven't got up so early for a long time, and I fell asleep in the bath. If it hadn't been for the screen, I wouldn't have seen me knocking on the door outside, I wouldn't have known when I would have woken up."
"Puff!" Si Si laughed and immediately covered her mouth. But Ji Yufu had already seen her and nodded apologetically: "Let the girl laugh." Jing Si knew that he must be able to see himself, and he was not surprised. He nod his head and didn't say anything, but Pei Shaoyin was surprised: "What girl?"
"That's not... Well, you can't see it. I'm careless." Ji Yufu waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to take care of his belt anymore: "Go and call Yuan Shu. He knows what to do."
After a while, Yuan Shu knocked on the door and entered. He first saluted Ji Yu, and then bowed to the quenching: "Yuan Shu's craftsmanship is not good. I hope my sister won't laugh." With that, she took out the cut white paper, learned the appearance of Wei Tanyi and silently recited the spell and threw it out. The quenching finally had a temporary body, which didn't seem to fit, but she smiled and thanked Yuan Shu. With his short qualifications, it was not easy to achieve this level.
At this moment, Ji Yufu sat down at the table and ordered tea for her despite her long wet hair.
"...Sir doesn't look like a person who does things. Let it go." Si Si came with a questioning heart, but he was really angry by his busy work. Seeing that he clumsily took this and forgot that, he finally opened his mouth.
