Chapter 16 Summer Insects and Ice

Rong Hui was so shocked that he took a quick breath. Two breaths hit the chest, and the lungs were about to explode. Hearing the "buzz--" and a sharp sound, the whole person fell straight down.

Xiao Xuan saw it and said first: "Bad boy, how dare you fight with my sister!" Raise your hand and punch it to hit Rong Hui's chest.

Rong Hui staggered back two steps and coughed twice before he recovered. Adjust your breathing and see Xiaoxuan following him. Outside the window, the stars are shining and halo. She was dressed in middle clothes, Bai Lingshengxue, and she was like a ghost in the night. Holding a jar in his arms is a "burning knife" to refresh the wounded.

"Wow!" Rong Hui pointed to Xiaoxuan and smiled: "Your behavior..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiaoxuan scolded in a low voice: "Look at you coming, I'll leave half of your work!" Go and bring your black pot!"

Rong Hui couldn't help laughing, supported his right hand on the edge, turned over and went straight back to the room. Xiaoxuan jumped out later. Seeing that it was midnight, her heart moved and simply stopped him: "I will pass on another unique internal skill to you. Can you learn it or not!"

"No learning!" Rong Hui was resolute and waved his hand and refused: "Sister, have you ever drunk?" Unexpectedly, she thought she was talking drunk.

Xiaoxuan was angry, funny, and a little surprised. She chased after him and asked, "Why don't you want to!"

Rong Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is a rumor in the door that you are practicing 'Jade Girl Gong', so... so your body is not big!" Seeing Xiaoxuan's eyes full of annoy, she quickly waved her hand and explained, "No... No, it's the sisters who envy you... I envy you forever young and beautiful!"

Xiaoxuan was furious when she heard that she was arranged like this for the first time: "What a mess... and 'jade girl'!" Raise the wine jar and smash it.

Rong Hui retreated repeatedly and couldn't help explaining: "It's not what I said..." He twisted his body and rushed into the door.

"Come out!" Xiaoxuan put down the wine jar and suddenly urged him, "Let's see if you can become a girl after practicing!"

Rong Hui proposed a black pot, and saw Xiaoxuan sitting on the stone table. He closed his eyes slightly and looked pale. Pointing to the lotus flower, it is serious, and it is necessary to pass on the teaching method. Rong Hui sighed and had to sit cross-legged and listen to the teachings.

Xiaoxuan passed on a mental method and practiced every night, specializing in the "Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian." The "Hand Taiyin Pulmonary Meridian" originates from "Zhongfu" and ends at "Shao Shang", with a total of 11 important points. Each acupuncture point is equipped with a mental method, which is a hundred times more difficult than "too false and true qi". He also solemnly instructed: "This skill is clear-minded and qualitative, easy to wash the marrow, and is the supreme method of practicing the truth. I tried my best to find this paragraph. Now that it's all about you, you must never slack off. Seeing that Rong Hui was still closing his eyes and meditating, he poured a pot of wine, picked up the black pot, and flew away.

She unfolded her body and crossed the alley all the way. When she returned to Xiaoyaxuan, Xiaoyue and Xiaojuan had prepared snacks and were waiting for her under the pavilion. The two women were also dressed in middle clothes, lightly sweeping moth eyebrows, and did not apply fat powder. The night was blurred and the candlelight was swaying, which was very warm.

Xiaojuan put her elbows on her cheeks and looked at the candle and couldn't help humming: "Isn't it her old way to steal things... Why haven't she returned yet... Even if she has a baby, it's time to go back..."

The breeze brushed and sent a burst of coquettishness: "Speak again...and then..."

Xiaojuan was shocked and followed the sound. She saw Xiaoxuan standing behind her, raising her hand to fight. She quickly hugged her head and begged for mercy: "Good sister, I won't talk about it!"

Xiaoyue smiled and relieved the siege: "Stop it. It's time to be heard by the patrol night!" With that, he took the black pot, poured the wine into the celadon wine pot, and poured wine for the three people.

Xiaojuan raised her glass and said, "Let's get over the difficulties together. Let's drink first!" The two women raised their glasses to agree, and the porcelain hit each other. "Bum-bang-bang-bang" sounded three times in a row and drank it all.

The spirit is under the stomach, and the burning air is surging. Xiaoxuan's face was like Xiafei. Xiaoyue covered her mouth and her eyes were tearful. Xiaojuan opened her mouth and spit out her tongue. She repeatedly shouted "spicy" and quickly stuffed a piece of "Pour red date cake" into her mouth. Xiaoyue took a long breath and asked Xiaoxuan, "Master wants you to take charge of the door. Isn't it a pity to be so arrogant?"

"Well, I think she wants to get married!" Xiaojuan echoed: "Is that boy so blessed?"

"Whether you marry or not!" Xiaoxuan looked up at the sky and said leisurely, "No one can force me to do what I'm unhappy!"

"The 'chief' has been passed on for several generations. Anyway, we are also the direct branch, and there is no fault! Look at the abandoned princes, which one has a good end. Xiaoyue shook her head and sighed: "In his position, I don't plan to govern. When others take over the door, we still have a way to live?"

Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "I won't take over as the head of the door, but I didn't say let others take charge of the door!"

The two women were stunned and looked at Xiaoxuan together. Xiaoxuan drank a cup of herself again and looked at Xiaoyue and asked, "Master, is there any help?"

Master is still ill, and the apprentice is really disrespectful to talk about life and death. The two women were stunned again. Xiaoyue also drank a glass of herself, spit out a long breath of wine, and looked at the sky and said, "Kung fu is useless... If the master intends to survive and carefully recuperate for another three or five years, he may be able to walk on the ground. At least you can speak, which is better than now!"

"If Master can speak, why can't he return to the head?" Xiaoxuan gently brushed her hair and smiled indifferently: "Men have good face. Even if they are a 'handsman', they will not lose their honor. I think the thirteen elders have different intentions. Even if they compete for another month, they can't stand up as the "peacher".

Xiaoyue heard the sound, but she couldn't believe it: "Senior sister said 'taking the emperor to make the princes'? Isn't it..."

"Hey! We can swear together that we can 'drink, eat meat and wear fancy skirts' casually. If you want to repent, then I'll let you be the leader..." Xiaoxuan stared and asked, "Master is really kind to us, even if it's a lady from a rich family. But as the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong industry and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. In the end, who will spend it, that's perfect. He poured a cup of water and then said, "If we really have a good home, we will naturally teach our husband and children, kiss him and respect him, and try our best to help the mountain. It is also a teacher-apprentice relationship for 20 years... If we send us to those rich families and give people 'renew strings' and 'fill the house', what's the difference from raising 'thin horses'!"

Unmarried women should not talk about marriage affairs, but in the dead of night, she has strong wine and courage. The three people's shyness gradually disappeared, leaving only a cavity of enthusiasm. Xiaojuan also poured herself a cup and nodded in agreement: "What the senior sister said makes sense!"

Xiaoyue asked, "Then what should we do?" It is also the default statement of Xiaoxuan.

"The chewing on the mountain depends on the profits and silver of shops everywhere. In the first half of the year, when they used money to make money, I don't think they have spare money." Xiaoxuan couldn't help sneering: "No one can be the leader of a faction!" While the elders are quarreling, I'm going down the mountain to make a fire, and the new leader will be even more difficult to give birth!"

Xiaoyue nodded and agreed: "We will always serve the master and make him get better soon!" One word, one cup at a time, very happy.

Xiaoxuan has profound internal skills. Although his face is hot by spirits, he is still very sober. Xiaoyue has been lying on the table first. Xiaojuan put on Xiaoxuan's shoulder and said more and became more unreliable: "Sister, I think that boy is still quite good... It's easy to handle... If you spend time with him, at least you can't suffer losses..."

Xiaoxuan frowned when she heard this: "Only my sister has let others suffer. Who dares to let my sister suffer?" Bai gave her a look and couldn't help laughing: "How is he? Do I still want you to talk about it?" He picked up one with one hand and dragged it into the building.

The next morning, Rong Hui climbed the mountain alone to watch the sun. Seeing the bleak red clouds in the east, covering the sky and the sun, riding the wind, it was particularly spectacular. He couldn't help looking at it for a long time. Go back to be on duty with Wanrong, consciously take out brown paper, turn your back, and sit at the small table to wrap brown sugar.

Wanrong wears a newly embroidered half-armed spring shirt, which is more exquisite in the bright and gorgeous. Seeing that no one came, he hit Rong Hui on the back with his elbow and asked mysteriously, "Well, why isn't your sister the leader?" Without waiting to answer, he wrote and drew his own picture: "Can't I see it yet? It's also a gift of money and clothes, and some of them are for you to hire a master. And you don't look like her at all. I think she's for you!"

Rong Hui listened and frowned, "This kind of thing is getting darker and darker!" I had to start another topic: "Sister, your dress is really beautiful."

"Real?" Wan Rong was very interested and raised his sleeves and said, "Your sister can still dress. Others say that I was much more exquisite before!" The two talked about dressing up.

Rong Hui's head is so big that he has to talk to him. Fortunately, I often met Xiaoxuan, but I didn't see her wear the same clothes. In retrospect, there is a lot of talk in my heart. Just as she was talking happily, Yan Ling came.

She was also wearing a spring dress with half a peach branch embroidered on her chest, and the flowers on the branches were blooming brilliantly. She also wears a pleated skirt, with hundreds of butterflies and flowers on the skirt, competing for beauty. Spring is in full bloom, and the embroidery is brilliant. People walk on the street like swimming in a painting.

Wan Rong's eyes lit up and quickly turned out of the counter and looked up and down around Yan Ling. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "This kind of clothes can only be found in the painting. Flowers are not messy, complex but not repeated. How much effort does it take to embroider?

Yan Ling took a look at Rong Hui and smiled and said, "It is said that this is Chen Du's new pattern. I also think it looks good. I embroidered it in advance and wear it for a few days!" He turned around again, the skirt fluttered, and the branches and butterflies flew.

Wanrong was amazed and praised: "How much money will it cost if it hangs on the market!"

Yan Ling is a new embroiderer, not counting the big pieces sent from the foot of the mountain. There are things on the mountain that need to be trimmed, and they also come to her. In January, Mr. Lin Lin can also take a few taels of silver. Seeing that Wanrong wanted to buy it, she advised her: "This is a good material. If you stick gold and jade crumbs, you have to go up twenty taels, all worn by those ladies. We wore it, but we didn't dare to do anything. If you like it, I'll lend you a long time.

Wanrong was in full bloom and nodded repeatedly and agreed. Rong Hui also felt that this set of spring coat was very exquisite and unique, and he couldn't help thinking of her as Xiaoxuan. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful she became. In a blink of an eye, I saw the two crooked and came back to my senses. Then I saw Yan Ling carrying a burden, so I handed over a large bag of brown sugar and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Yan Ling directly pushed out the burden and motioned him to open it. Rong Hui asked her curiously, "What is it?" Uncover the cloth bag, it is a pair of canvas shoes, the upper is thick and soft, and the upper is exquisitely embroidered. He looked at the joy and asked, "Is it for me?"

Yan Ling stared and said anly: "Huh! I want something beautiful!"

When Rong Hui heard the sound, he asked her directly, "What should I exchange for?"

Yan Ling smiled and said, "Take a bag of Fuling cream for it!"

There has always been Rusu on the mountain. Although it nourishes the spirit, the newcomers are not used to it. Rong Hui followed Xiaoxuan to practice martial arts, which consumed a lot of body, so Xiaoxuan gave him a bag of "Fly cream" to stimulate his appetite. Later, Yan Ling came to him, and he gave half to Yan Ling, who made him a pair of cotton soft shoes.

The shoes are just the right size, elastic and appropriate, very suitable for martial arts practice, and are being worn on Rong Hui's feet. But his Fuling cream has just been finished, and his new shoes are so exquisite that he can't put it down. He looked at Yanling. Her skin was not as shiny as when she first saw her, and she was thinner. She was about to ask him to change the condition. Suddenly, she thought about it and said, "Wait!" Turn back to the house and get back two clay pots.

Wan Rong asked him curiously, "Is it honey?"

Rong Hui pushed a can and whispered, "It's the soybeans from the mountain. It's soaked in lard. It's so fragrant!"

Wanrong lifted the pottery cover, the breeze brushed, and the oil fragrance overflowed, which made her salivate. She couldn't help stretching out her fingers to taste a little. In the mouth of the fingers, the starry eyes are bright and smiling. Yan Ling suddenly realized, "I said, how do you keep it smooth?" The three people looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Yan Ling also talked about Xiaoxuan: "I saw her surrounded by a group of elders, like stars holding the moon, and she was really a fairy-like figure."

Rong Hui and You Rongyan nodded and agreed: "Of course, as long as I see her, I feel indescribably comfortable."

Yan Ling frowned slightly and then said, "I don't know how many people are envious of your blessing."

"What?" Rong Hui listened to her words and simply asked clearly, "What do people envy me for?"

Yan Ling smiled and said, "Since ancient times, 'My fair lady, a gentleman is good'. There are so many handsome uncles and skilled in the door, why don't you let your sister be dazzled?"

Rong Hui was stunned and thought that Xiaoxuan was also an elder in the family, and felt that she was reasonable: "I should have thought that she had already made a sister-brother friendship with me. Why should I be sentimental..." I couldn't help shaking my head and asking, "What blessing do you have for me?"

Yan Ling smiled softly: "If you want to be your brother-in-law, why don't you beat your 'brother-in-law'?"

Hearing this, Rong Hui turned his heart for a moment and shook his head and sighed: "These people are brainless, and I haven't received any benefits. You also publicize this elsewhere, otherwise it will ruin her reputation, but be careful of your suffering!"

Wanrong couldn't help laughing when he saw that he looked uncertain and jealous. Yan Ling simply teased her: "Do you still know how to protect food?" With that, he picked up the clay pot, picked up the brown sugar, and turned to say goodbye: "I still have work. I'll come back another day. Thank you!"

Wanrong was still jealous of the spring costume and hurriedly sent her out. Rong Hui continued to pack brown sugar, but thought about Yan Ling's words. For a moment, he said, "How can I be worthy of her with such a poor appearance?" After thinking about it for a long time, I was so distressed that I was about to cry.

Wanrong looked at it strangely and couldn't help laughing at him: "What's wrong? I'm not happy!"

Rong Hui's heart was sore that he forgot that there was a girl next to him. He shook his head vigorously, smiled and put on the new shoes sent by Yan Ling. He circled back and forth on the ground and jumped up and down a few times. He only felt that it was indescribably comfortable, and there was a little comfort in his heart.

Wan Rong only felt a turbid air coming, quickly pinched his nose, pointed to Rong Hui and scolded, "You... still take it out!"

Rong Hui smiled and took his shoes out to dry, washed his hands with water, and then returned to the pharmacy. After a while, Xiaoxuan also came to get brown sugar. She is wearing a white cotton coat with a pearl head. It's white and clean, which makes people feel cool.
