Tianyi

Chapter 37 Yellow Clothes (9)

"I used to treat her as my biological sister, without any precautions. She knew me very well... When Master passed away, she was also familiar with what happened. She knew that all six of you sisters had golden needles. Therefore, if Sister Pujian wanted to get the golden needle, she would naturally The idea is on your head. She doesn't dare to enter this Tianyi courtyard, so she will try her best to find news about you outside. And the five sisters have returned home. If they have lost the golden needle, they will tell me immediately. But you never mentioned it, so what Sister Guijian can steal will only belong to Sister Huang."

"Golden needles are sharp. Although they can prick people, they cannot quench the poison. Even if they pierce acupuncture points, they are difficult to injure, so they cannot be used as weapons. But when used to weave clothes, they have miraculous effects. Use this golden needle to sew the clothes. After drying for three days, the silk threads will become integrated with the clothes. The style of the whole clothes will remain the same, but there will be no seams at all. Therefore, people call it heavenly clothes."

"Back then, our master held six golden needles, cut colorful brocade, and made a seamless heavenly garment. It is said that it was hidden in the deep palace by the previous Holy Emperor, and it was difficult to find it. Of course, you all You know, there is actually another Tianyi in the Tianyi Courtyard, but it was sewn by Master from ordinary cloth, and it is far less gorgeous than the one in the palace."

When Xue Yi said this, she stopped, and all the sisters turned their eyes to the side room on the other side of the main room, but saw that the door was closed and it was quiet inside.

But no one moved.

There was silence in the main room for a while, all the sisters had their own thoughts and looked sad.

After a while, Xue Yi spoke again: "Of course you all know that Master later used these six golden needles to embroider each other. Master took the thin crystal that was passed to Zi Yi and shined it, and it turned out that it was able to embroider on the grains of rice. A word is embroidered on a flat gold piece."

The sisters lowered their heads, not looking at each other and not daring to look at Xue Yi.

Xueyi said to herself: "These characters are the colors of the clothes of the six sisters in the Tianyi courtyard. Master is afraid that it will take more time to embroider these six characters than to embroider the two Tianyi. It will take longer. Ziyi, you just said that if I rush back in time, the master will pass the golden needle to me. How is this possible? There is no word 'snow' in those six words. The master is not willing to pass me the golden needle. This It was a decision that was made long ago.”

No one answered.

Xue Yi stopped, looked at the closed door of the side room opposite, and burst into tears.

After all, there were still no tears. Xueyi took a deep breath, cheered up, and returned to his normal expression, saying: "Okay, let's not talk about old things. What Master thinks, I can't verify it, and it's useless for me to guess. You just listen to my instructions. , it’s time to do something. Brown Yi, you can keep the gold needle in Yellow Yi, and you can give it to her when she comes back. I need to think carefully about what the sword is going to do, and there is no rush at this moment. Qing Yi, Chiyi, you two come here..."

Qing Yi and Chi Yi approached Xue Yi and listened carefully. After listening, they both saluted and said, "I follow the instructions of eldest sister, we will do it now."

Xue Yi called Lan Yi to come closer again and gave her secret instructions. Lan Yi nodded repeatedly and after listening to the salute, he still didn't answer.

In the square Tianyi courtyard, there are three main rooms in a row. The main door is offset from the center line of the courtyard, and the flower windows of the wing rooms are facing the courtyard door.The courtyard is unobstructed, with a concierge on one side of the courtyard door and a kitchen on the other side.Going around to the back of the main house, there are six small boudoirs built side by side. Except for Xueyi, the sisters each occupy one.

After listening to Xue Yi's instructions, Qing Yi, Chi Yi and Lan Yi all went back to their rooms, packed their bags, and left hand in hand. It looked as if they had traveled far away.

Ziyi sent Xueyi back to the wing to rest, and then went back to the room without mentioning it.

Brown Yi hid the golden needle and hurried to take care of the kitchen.

The old car built the wall very quickly, and by the time the sisters were talking, the foundation of the wall had been completed again.I didn't hear any noise after nightfall.But the next day, when Brown Yi got up early and went out to cook, a brand new earthen wall had been built, and the entire kitchen looked completely restored to its original state.

The man in brown clothes stretched his thumb and looked towards the concierge. When he saw that there was no movement, he thought it was Lao Che who had given him a day off and was still sleeping soundly.

In the blink of an eye, seven whole days passed.

Qing Yi, Lan Yi and Chi Yi haven't come back yet, and General Guo seems to have disappeared. Xue Yi didn't give him any definite information that day that he would come back to get the answer. After so many days, he never came to ask, like It's just a matter of indifference.

However, Tianyi Courtyard is located in a remote area. The nearest Guanjia Posthouse is in the neighboring county. It takes another hour to walk over Wuling Mountain where Wuling Temple is located.No one is sure whether General Guo has really been sitting in the post house waiting for news after he left Tianyi Courtyard.

Xue Yi didn't give any orders, and naturally no one in Tianyi's small courtyard bothered to inquire.

At dinner in the evening, even though there were three people missing, the portions cooked by Brown Yi were still very generous, so don’t worry if you can’t finish them all. There was a group of foodies waiting respectfully outside the hospital.

Brown Yi divided the vegetables for his family, put the extra on a big plate, used a chopstick to hold up a plate, grabbed a handful of five or six chopsticks, and held a bunch of them like flowers.

Brown Yi held the pair of chopsticks with one hand, walked over calmly and steadily, opened the courtyard door with the other hand, and immediately heard a burst of cheers from outside the courtyard.

In the main room, Xue Yi smiled at Zi Yi and said leisurely: "Actually, it would be better for Sister Brown to go back to this courtyard and open a restaurant in a lively place in the city. With her skills, she can only feed a few of us. Pity."

Zi Yi disagreed and said: "Sister, you were like this before... You always suspected that we would feel aggrieved if we followed you in the courtyard... No! That day at the old squire's house, when Sister Brown heard about you If I want her to come back, I will be so happy that I even throw away the spatula, which means her wealth and life. When I was fighting for the golden needle with Sui Jian, she didn't even throw it away."

Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Brown clothes pushed the door open and came in. All the plates in his hands were gone, but there was a snow-white dove, lying obediently in the palm of brown clothes, with a thin leg stretched out, and a small green bamboo knot tied to it.

Xue Yi's eyes lit up and she said, "Sister Qing Yi has sent a message." Zi Yi stepped forward and took off the bamboo joint, then turned around and handed it to Xue Yi.

Brown Yi went out to let the pigeons go out again. This time, there was a sound of disappointment outside the courtyard gate. Apparently, the foodies thought that Brown Yi was going to let the pigeons go out again.

Xue Yi pursed her lips, pulled off the stopper on the bamboo joint, and pulled out a slender piece of white silk cloth, which was densely packed with small characters.

Xue Yi read carefully every word, clasped his hands, closed his eyes and meditated.

Brown Yi had already come back and sat down, and Zi Yi whispered: "Wulingguan Master Tai's pigeon still refuses to fly in this yard? It has been more than two years, and it can still remember that I once planted spiders in this yard." Shazhen?"

Brown Yi tapped the tip of Zi Yi's nose and quietly replied: "Just be bad... even pigeons are afraid of your tricks, how could they forget about it."

The two sisters buried their heads in laughter and ate their own food, not daring to disturb Xue Yi.

Xue Yi finally opened her eyes and turned to Lao Che, who was sitting on the other side. When she opened her mouth, she was picking up on what Zi Yi said just now and asked: "Lao Che, do you feel aggrieved if you follow me?"

Lao Che almost choked on a mouthful of rice and coughed. He quickly scooped up a large spoonful of soup, stretched his neck and drank it while staring at Xue Yi.

Xue Yi acted as if nothing had happened, just staring at the old car, waiting for his reply.

Lao Che had no choice but to put down his spoon, stood up and took a step back, saluting: "Why do you ask, Master? What did Lao Che do wrong?"

Brown Yi was surprised: "What did you say?"

Ziyi grabbed her and explained: "Don't ask, don't ask, I contradicted the eldest sister just now, I guess she is going to criticize me."

Brown Yi was a little anxious: "Are you full? Why are you contradicting eldest sister?"

Ziyi threw her chopsticks down and pouted, "I haven't eaten yet... you'll be mean to me."

Xue Yi didn't even look at her two sisters, but her face was calm and the corners of her mouth were raised, and she didn't seem to be angry.

Lao Che persuaded with a grimace: "Let me tell you, you two heroines, can you allow me to have a conversation with the sect master on my own? Your mouth is for eating food and your ears are for listening. Please don't interrupt, okay?"

Zi Yi was happy, and leaned into Brown Yi's ear, whispering: "Lao Che has always called us heroines. We have been separated for two years. After I came back, I haven't heard him call us. I thought he had forgotten... No Just forget it, hee hee."

Brown Yi also laughed, and came back to Zi Yi's ear, but his voice was not very quiet: "Lao Che is a man of rules. Master asked him to call him that. How could he forget it?"

Lao Che frowned hard at them. Brown Yi and Zi Yi stopped talking and started eating with their chopsticks.

Lao Che turned to look at Xue Yi, still bowing, and said: "Please tell me, Master."

Xue Yi said softly: "Sister Ziyi just advised me. I thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense. If I had no basis and was wronged for you, I would make you unhappy for no reason. This is my fault. I I just saw the letter from Qing Yi. The case in Sifang County is crucially located in the capital. I have the intention to send you to do it for me, but I am afraid that you will really be wronged. After thinking about it for a long time, I have no good idea, so I dare not take it upon myself to do it. Damn, I need to ask you openly."

Lao Che's expression froze and he didn't answer immediately.

Brown Yi was so surprised that he couldn't help but ask: "Hey? What's wrong with the capital? Why did you wrong Lao Che?"

Ziyi was also surprised and said: "Isn't Lao Che a native of Beijing? Hey, look at this expression...do you really feel aggrieved?"

Even though Lao Che was full of worries, he could no longer hold back. He stood up straight and said to the two sisters: "Xia Xia, please, can you stop talking?"

Brown and purple both covered their mouths.

Xue Yi said warmly: "Lao Che, when Master was here, you called us sisters the same way. I always remember the way you called me Snow Lady... Ever since I became the master of the sect, you have never called me that way again. You must abide by the etiquette. From now on, No violation of the rules. But at this moment, I actually don’t want you to obey the sect master’s orders. I just want to know your true thoughts. If you are wronged, I will not force you.”

Lao Che sat down, said nothing, and took another big sip of soup.
