The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 94 Farewell
"Daoist figured it out?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Yuan Shoucheng smiled mysteriously: "Yes, and no."

Having been together for more than ten years, Xuan Shijing knew Yuan Shoucheng's personality, sometimes he really looked like a magic stick who set up a stall on the street to fool people, but he was really a capable magic stick.

"Since Daoist Yuan knows, Shijing doesn't speak anymore, and he is reluctant to say it." Speaking of parting, Xuan Shijing still felt a little sad in his heart. After ten years of peaceful life, he seemed to have gotten used to this rhythm. If this Khotan Town is a calm lake, then Chang'an City is like a rough sea. Once we go back, we will face all kinds of big and small things. It is simply a luxury to think about such a peaceful life. .

"Young Lord, you don't have to be sad. If you really want to let go, Pindao will wait for you at Kunlun Mountain at any time." Yuan Shoucheng said.

"Has Daoist Yuan ever planned to leave Kunlun?" Xuan Shijing asked curiously.

"Pindao is on the verge of death at this age, and it is very good to have a clean place to live this remaining life. Besides, the environment in the western border is poor, and the people have been harassed by wars all year round. If these people have serious illnesses or minor disasters, the poor Taoist Therefore, I can also help a bunch of people." Regarding these things, Yuan Shoucheng is open-minded, maybe, a person like him who has a true heart of Taoism, in terms of state of mind, is already out of the world, Xuan Shijing can't help but I have spontaneous admiration for Yuan Shoucheng and his open-mindedness.

"The Taoist priest is really kind-hearted. Shijing remembers that the Taoist priest has a nephew in Chang'an." Xuan Shijing said.

Yuan Shoucheng nodded, and when he mentioned his nephew, he sighed, but didn't speak. After a while, he said: "If Tiangang has any difficulties, I hope that the young master will help him out of the old way. "After thinking for a long time, Yuan Shoucheng asked. He has no heirs, only his nephew Yuan Tiangang, but Yuan Tiangang has been trapped in the court hall of Chang'an City, and he wants to find a way out for the Taoist sect from there. The dangerous road full of thorns and thorns, whether he can retreat in the end is another matter. Yuan Shoucheng did not want his only nephew to die in Chang'an, so he made this request.

Xuan Shijing nodded lightly. Yuan Shoucheng owed him life-saving grace, and he would not refuse Yuan Shoucheng's request.

"That's the case, that poor Taoist is here to thank the young master." He nodded towards Xuan Shijing.

"You are welcome, Daoist. Shijing will leave Khotan town tomorrow. Daoist, let Long'er cook and cook more food in the evening. Shijing and Daoist would like to have a drink." Xuan Shijing said, life is rare One confidant, my two confidants, one is Sun Simiao, and the other is Yuan Shoucheng in front of me. No matter when, it is always an uncomfortable thing to talk about parting.

"That's very good." Yuan Shoucheng responded with a smile.

In Xuan Shijing's room, Long'er and Gao Jun were packing their things.

Long'er looked at the yard where they had lived for more than ten years, with a lonely expression, silently packing up things, and Gao Jun who was beside him was really not used to Long'er's taciturn appearance for a while.

"Long'er, why do you have such an expression? Isn't it a happy thing that the young master has fully recovered?" Gao Jun said.

"Yes, but we have lived here for more than ten years, so we really can't bear to part with this small town." Long'er said with a smile, but there was a trace of bitterness in that smile.

"You have to learn to look forward." When Gao Jun saw Long'er like this, he put down the things in his hands, sat on the stool in the room, set up a posture, and was ready to give Long'er a good lesson: "You think, let's get out of here and go back When you arrive in Chang'an, you can see Madam, Uncle Zhong Qiandui and them. We have been away for more than ten years and haven't seen them for more than ten years. Don't you miss them at all? And your good sisters, little Huan, Xiaoji."

"I really miss them, but..." Long'er couldn't tell how she feels now, Chang'an only carries her memories of four or five years, and the small town of Khotan has lived here for ten years. She is reluctant to part with this place, but she is looking forward to the reunion with the people who return to Chang'an and the Hou's Mansion. Naturally, at this time, Longer's face is tangled.

Seeing Long'er's expression, Gao Jun didn't know what to say, he was not very good at persuading others, and what he said just now was nothing more than expressing what he was thinking.

When the two were relatively silent, Xuan Shijing walked in from the outside.

"How's the cleaning going?"

"Young Master." Gao Jun hurriedly stood up from the stool.

No matter how stupid Xuan Shijing was, she could see that the atmosphere between the two was delicate, Long'er stood there tangled up, half-packed things were placed on the wooden bed.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Shijing asked aloud.

"Ah..." Gao Jun scratched his head and said, "Young Master, Long'er said she was reluctant to leave here."

Xuan Shijing looked at Long'er, Long'er nodded and said, "But I'm looking forward to returning to Chang'an again."

It seems that I am not the only one who feels this way, Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Longer's feeling is normal, after all, I have lived here for a long time, and I have feelings for this place, but no matter how good it is here, our home Isn’t it in Chang’an? The three of us are like duckweeds wandering outside. Our roots are in Chang’an. Okay, let’s not talk about these sad things, let me clean up here, Gao Jun, you and Long’er go shopping, tonight Long'er cooks a good dinner, we have to say goodbye to Daoist Yuan."

Gao Jun and Long'er looked at each other and nodded.

When Xuan Shijing woke up again, it was already the next morning, Gao Jun had already harnessed the carriage and waited at the gate of the yard, and Longer was just entering the room with the washing utensils.

"Young Master, hurry up and wash up, we are going on the road." Long'er put the things on the table.

Xuan Shijing covered her dizzy head, stepped on her boots and wore a white jacket, walked to the table and sat down: "Long'er, what happened to me last night." Xuan Shijing patted her head, feeling The memory of last night is already fragmented.

"During dinner last night, Young Master insisted on taking Yuan Daochang to drink. After drinking, you drank too much. In the end, you passed out. Yuan Daochang and Gao Jun helped you back, and let me drink it for you again. Hangover soup, otherwise you will be hungover this night, and you will have a headache when you wake up this morning."

Jing Long'er reminded Xuan Shijing vaguely of what happened last night.

"Where's Daoist Yuan?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Yuan Daochang went up to the mountain to collect herbs early in the morning, and he said that we should just close the courtyard door when we leave," Long'er said.

It seemed that Yuan Shoucheng didn't want to face this parting moment either, Xuan Shijing smiled, then got up and began to wash.
