Zongwu: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 21 First Meeting
The fog is heavy in the morning, and the Huihui is faint in winter.

After Ning Xiu went back with his mother, he first went to his family's villa, and his mother, Zhao Muhe, ordered a few maidservants to take Ning Xiu to take a bath and change clothes.

After taking a bath, Ning Xiu got dressed under the service of several maids. He integrated the memories of his previous life, and he didn't feel anything wrong at the moment.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Ningxiu's exhaustion from sailing for several days dissipated, and the gloomy look on his face was swept away.

Then a maid brought a bronze mirror and asked Ning Xiu to look at it, and then checked whether the clothes and these details were appropriate. Ning Xiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: the extravagant life of aristocrats.

"If the young master has already tidied up, please follow me." A delicate female voice sounded, and the person who spoke was the pretty maid who looked at him with a smile when the boat was moored yesterday.

Seeing Ning Xiu's refined and handsome appearance after grooming, the maidservant's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Young master is really a dragon and a phoenix, as beautiful as a princess carved out."

Ning Xiu said cheerfully: "A person depends on clothes, I am not good-looking."

Hearing Ning Xiu's words, the pretty servant gave a "puchi" smile, covered her mouth with a blushing smile and said, "Master, you are joking, since you have already arranged everything, please follow me to see the Princess."

Ning Xiu nodded, and followed her to meet Zhao Muhe who had also finished her makeup.

"Hmm...it's okay."

Seeing Ning Xiu's changed appearance after changing clothes, Zhao Muhe looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, there was a few instructions to let Ning Xiu remember, and only then did he get into the carriage.

……

inside the carriage.

"Ning'er, when I go to meet Master Li later, the etiquette that should be followed cannot be ignored. Do you remember what your mother taught you?"

Sitting next to Ning Xiu, Zhao Muhe talked about this issue again and again.

Ning Xiu replied tirelessly: "I remember."

"it is good."

Zhao Muhe smiled and put his hands on his lap, but all he was thinking about was someone.

In order to keep the carriage stable and not disturb the nobles on board, the carriage deliberately walked slowly, which gave Zhao Muhe enough time to teach Ning Xiu how to salute and what to say when he saw Li Yun later.

Ning Xiu dared not refuse, and blindly agreed, if he hadn't become much wiser after traveling, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to remember Zhao Muhe's request in this nervous situation.

In his memory, his mother was sometimes normal, and sometimes behaved strangely, as if she had gone crazy, and behaved like a madman.

Moreover, Zhao Muhe was strict with Ning Xiu, almost to the point of harshness. During the time they were in the carriage, Ning Xiu had already been disciplined several times.

And in Ning Xiu's memory, he didn't have a deep impression of his father, as if there was no such father, the so-called father only had one name - his parents had great conflicts, his father almost never cared about him, only his mother Zhao Muhe One person disciplines him, and even how the teacher teaches him has to be approved by Zhao Muhe, although most of his actions are aimed at cultivating his son into a talent.

What's more, Zhao Muhe's martial arts strength is not bad, once he gets angry, how can a child be able to bear such arrogance?
Therefore, under this almost pathological control, Ning Xiu's predecessor could only obey his mother's words, and dared not say a word.

This situation did not improve slightly until Zhao Ning was 12 years old.

But this kind of situation has become a fixed trend, even if it affects the present Ning Xiu, it is nothing more than that the present Ning Xiu will feel like sitting on pins and needles if Zhao Muhe sees something strange.

The axle rolled slowly, and the interior of the carriage fell into silence.

Another quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived at Guiyuan's gate.

"Princess, Guiyuan Gate has arrived."

A maid gently opened the curtain and said.

"Two honored guests, I am waiting for you, and I am hereby leading the way by the order of the sect master."

Then the two got out of the car, and a group of people from Guiyuanmen had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Zhao Muhe and Ning Xiu coming, they immediately explained their identities and came to lead the way specially.

Immediately, a group of people went up to the mountain gate. Because Zhao Muhe was beside the scenery along the way, Ning Xiu only took a few glances before concentrating on walking. He just felt that the scenery was beautiful and the building was magnificent.

According to the envoy who led the way, the mountain they walked was named Guizang Mountain, and it was the main vein of Guiyuanmen, and the owner of the gate was waiting for them at the peak.

After a while, Ning Xiu and his party reached the top of the main peak:
Guizang Mountain soars into the clouds, and magnificent buildings are built here. Layers of palaces and pavilions are complex and majestic, with carved beams and painted buildings, just like a fairy palace above the mortal world.

This is Guiyuanmen, the holy land of martial arts that is famous all over the world and famous all over the world.

Ning Xiu was a little behind Zhao Muhe, and was looking at these magnificent buildings curiously at the moment.

They are all beams and columns supported by round and high-quality trees, and the eyes are full of exquisitely carved reliefs. The main hall is more than ten feet high...

"Haha, here you are."

There was a burst of hearty laughter, and Ning Xiu could only see Li Yun, whom he had only met before, striding towards them.

Li Yun walked up to Zhao Muhe, waved his hand, and the envoys who led the way just retreated one after another.

"Zhanpeng, it's thanks to you that I was able to find Ning'er, otherwise I don't know what to do."

In Ning Xiu's memory, the mother who had always been tough showed a weak side at this time, she was really lovely and pitiful.

At this time, Ning Xiu also gave him the etiquette and rhetoric that Zhao Muhe taught him at the right time, without any mistakes.

"Ning'er is auspicious, since we are reunited, there is no need to be too sad."

Li Yun looked at Ning Xiu, praised him sincerely for his talent, then comforted Zhao Muhe, and led them into the inner courtyard.

The decoration here is simple and ordinary, compared with the grandeur of the main hall outside, it seems a bit out of place.

Instead, a few plum blossoms were planted in the courtyard, which added a bit of sophistication.

"father."

A crisp girl's voice came, and all three looked at that person.

The girl was only around the age, with delicate facial features, dark and clear eyebrows, a small white face with aura and cuteness, and her eyes were as bright as stars.

There is baby fat on the face, and the complexion is slightly ruddy, no matter who sees it, they think it is cute.

Li Yun walked forward with a smile, rubbed the girl's head with one hand, then squeezed her face, then took her little hand, and said softly: "Yaoyao, we have guests at home today."

Then Li Yun looked at Ning Xiu and Zhao Muhe and said, "This is your Aunt Zhao, and this is your Brother Ning, come and meet them."

At this time, Li Yun had no majesty at all, coaxing his daughter like a daughter slave.

The girl timidly saw Zhao Muhe and Ning Xiu, two strangers, she was afraid to hide behind Li Yun, hugging his leg, only showing half of her face to look at them.

Li Yun wanted to say something else, but Zhao Muhe, who had been stunned for a long time, asked stupidly: "This is you, your daughter?"

"Yeah, it's Jin'er, Jin Shu's Jin, who spoiled this child on weekdays, and refuses to even call out... I'm really sorry."

Zhao Muhe could only hear the first word of Li Yun's words, but after thinking about it, he thought of these reasons and asked again:

"How old is the child?" Zhao Muhe might feel that the words were too stiff, and continued, "Looking at the carved jade, she is a handsome girl."

"Hehe, my child was born in the twelfth lunar month, and after his birth, he will be ten years old."

"It's so fast, it's so big in the blink of an eye."

Ning Xiu had never seen his mother like this, but these words had already revealed a lot, which made him feel embarrassed.

But don't really...

Ning Xiu lightly patted his mother's back with his hand. The latter realized that he had lost his composure at this moment, but he didn't explain anything. He just lowered his head and said, "It's really unpredictable. Brother Li and I are both in the game."

After the words fell, Li Yun also thought of something, his expression was slightly concentrated, he turned to look at Li Jin'er and said: "Yaoyao, Dad still has something to tell your Aunt Zhao, you go out with that brother and wait for me first, okay? "

Hearing this, Li Jin'er looked at Li Yun's face, then at Ning Xiu, nodded after hesitating for a moment.

"Go."

Li Yun patted Li Jin'er's back gently, and she reluctantly walked over.

Ning Xiu didn't dare to say too much, and when Li Jin'er came to him, he said, "Little sister, let's go."

Li Jin'er didn't respond, just walked silently with her head down.

Ning Xiu didn't care, turned around and walked out of the inner courtyard with Li Jin'er.

The two walked side by side, and when they walked out of the inner courtyard, Li Jin'er yelled coldly, "Who is your sister, I don't know you!"

this kid.

Ning Xiu laughed instead, knowing that the child was angry, so he said these angry words. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but when he looked down and saw her angry look, he held back and turned his head to think about it. , immediately laughed:

"You must be my younger sister. Could it be that you are still my younger brother?"

Hearing this, Li Jin'er was so angry that her teeth itch, "I'm too lazy to talk to you." After leaving this sentence, she turned her head away from Ning Xiu, went out the door and walked to the right.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Ning Xiu was also happy, leaning his back against the wall, waiting patiently.

But Li Jin'er walked around the wall, more than 20 meters away from Ning Xiu, and stopped until he could no longer see Ning Xiu's figure, squatting under the wall and sulking.

After a while, Ning Xiu saw that his mother hadn't come out yet and was bored, so he thought of going to the little girl to see if she was calm.

When Ning Xiu walked around the wall and saw Li Jin'er, he saw Li Jin'er standing on tiptoe, looking inside from the gap in the wall carvings.

Ning Xiu felt that the little girl was quite funny, so he walked behind her to tease her.

Ning Xiu's footsteps were light, Li Jin'er didn't notice that there was another person behind her, and she was still looking inside intently.

Ning Xiu was standing behind her. Seeing that Li Jin'er hadn't found her yet, Ning Xiu just wanted to speak.

Li Jin'er, who had been peeking against the wall before, turned around, covered her mouth with her hands, opened her eyes wide, and ran out with her head down.

Ning Xiu stretched out a hand, not knowing why: "What's wrong with you?"

When Li Jin'er turned around, she paused for a moment, and saw someone behind her, but this person's appearance had long been blurred, like looking at flowers through fog.
