Road edge float

Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Fu Mingxuan didn't explain, but pondered for a while and said, "Father, please send someone reliable to collect Dalang's recent affairs for me. Let's start with his 15-year-old contract 'Taichu'. In addition, I I always feel that the wind in the city is not in the right direction, and my father reminds all the stewards to be more vigilant, even after the magic fall is over, you can't relax."

That last sentence almost means that after the "Magic Moment" is over, moths will appear in Yujing City.

Fu Bowen agreed, and then asked: "Is it the master of the Yan family that's not over yet?"

Fu Mingxuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that."

Fu Bowen knew that he had always had ideas, seeing that he had been thinking and didn't intend to elaborate, so he stopped asking.

After a moment of silence in the room, they heard movement in the yard outside, and the two turned their eyes to the door together.

At this time, who dared to come to Fu Bowen's study without notifying him, who else but Fu Mingyuan?

Sure enough, a light and pleasant voice said cheerfully: "Daddy, Daddy, I'm coming in!"

As he said that, without waiting for an answer from inside, the door was pushed open, and a soft and beautiful face came in, with bright eyes like autumn water, facing Fu Mingxuan squarely.

Fu Mingyuan let out a hasty "Yeah", shrank back, and almost slammed the door.

She finally realized in time that this move was too pretentious, so she abruptly stopped her movements, then opened the door obediently, and walked in.

"Father, brother."

After saying hello, Fu Mingyuan said to Fu Mingxuan, "My homework is done."

"Ah."

Fu Mingyuan was a little daring to speak out against Mingxuan's response, her bright eyes turned around, looking around without any trace.

Fu Mingxuan said calmly: "Don't look, Dalang has gone home."

Fu Mingyuan twisted her fingers and said, "Who knows whether he's going home or going out to wander again."

Fu Mingxuan always felt that there was an inexplicable guilt in her expression, and said: "If you get the man away, he will go out too."

Fu Mingyuan's brows were immediately furious, and when she looked up and saw Fu Mingxuan's expression, she realized that she had been cheated out, and immediately lowered her head.

Fu Mingxuan said coldly: "I remember I told you that you can't go to our private courtyard, let alone interfere. How old are you, you don't even have the most basic manners. Besides, you know who that woman is If you don’t have your identity, you dare to contact her recklessly.”

Fu Mingyuan was so trained that she didn't even dare to lift her head, and she justified herself, "I didn't meet her, but I just sent someone in to change a flower in a vase, and I also sent a set of clothes by the way."

Fu Mingxuan's face was cold, but he was laughing in his heart.Only now did he understand why the female steward who came to report Linxi's disappearance had such a strange look on her face. He also wanted to emphasize that, apart from the fact that she ran away, there was nothing missing in the house, including bed curtains and other fabrics.

The stewardess probably didn't know that there were maids from other places who went in at the time, so she couldn't imagine that in broad daylight, in the Fu family, where the guards are not too strict but they are not allowed to come and go, one by one looks strange. How the woman ran out.

At this time, the truth came to light, at that time Linxi forcibly broke away from Shen Boyan's restraint, even if he was injured, at least his mobility should have recovered, and he got his naked clothes again.Even if Fu Mingyuan came to think of it, she wouldn't give her her own, it should be dressed as a maid.

As long as Linxi is careful in her actions, the guest house is close to the outer street, and there are not many hidden guards nearby, she will naturally get away.

Fu Mingxuan said slowly: "You should also see that the blood tide phenomenon has appeared. From now on, you can't leave the house anymore, I will let people watch."

Fu Mingyuan was a little dissatisfied, and said: "There is a magic circle at home, there are guards, there is no need to keep anyone. My Taoism is not weak, I can't follow my father to the front line outside the city, but why can't I go with you to guard the formation in the city. "

Fu Mingxuan said: "I said you can't leave the mansion, not only during the demon's fall, even if the war is over and the ban is not lifted, you can't go out."

Fu Mingyuan's face changed slightly, "Why!"

Fu Mingxuan said: "If you have any objections, I'll ask someone to send you to your mother right now."

Fu Mingyuan was startled, opened her small mouth slightly, and looked at Fu Bowen who had been silent all this time.Seemingly knowing that her father and brother would not pamper her again, she couldn't help stomping her foot and rushing out the door.

The door of the study was knocked heavily, Fu Bowen said, "She likes Mr. Yan's family."

Fu Mingxuan said lightly: "She doesn't remember her identity, but father should still remember. Besides, liking someone is not a reason to cause trouble."

Fu Bowen sighed softly and nodded in recognition.

Yan Kaiting didn't go through the main entrance when he returned to the mansion this time, he just found the nearest place and turned into the inner courtyard.

When he went in, he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts. When he walked to the fire belt outside the "Flower Buxie Garden", people stood up one after another from nearby secret posts.

Yan Kaiting nodded in return, paused in front of the golden silk and bamboo woven moon gate in the garden, then turned and walked in.

It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and there is a large area of ​​dry land narcissus on the right hand side after entering the door.There is a constant temperature circle in the soil, so the flowering period is extremely long, but it is almost time to bloom.There are large clusters of goose yellow flowers, desperately blooming, as if they will wither tomorrow.

Yan Kaiting walked forward along a winding path paved with water and marble.

This is collected from an ancient riverbed of the Huanghe River that has been diverted and dried up. The stone body has flowing water waves and cloud patterns.It is said that Yan Kaiting's biological mother liked this kind of small stones very much, and she personally went to pick up all the water marbles on the road more than ten feet away.

At the end of the path is a single library.

The whole house is made of wood, and you can smell the unique fragrance of mahogany when you get closer.This kind of tree itself can also be used as a medicinal plant, and it is the base material of various elixirs for calming the mind and clearing the mind.Using it as a wooden house naturally has the function of refreshing the mind.

The wooden house does not use too many construction techniques, it is simple and natural.Regardless of the wood of the wall or the beam, only the surface is smoothed, retaining all natural traces, showing the rosy color of mahogany, and the clear texture without knots and scars.

There is a light in the room, which is a huge wall of thorns embedded in the roof beam.During the day, it is covered with crocodile silk, leaving only a faint, and at night, it is as bright as a candle.

Yan Kaiting seemed not at all surprised that there were people in the room, nor did he hesitate at all.He stepped heavily, but did not slow down, and pushed open the door directly.

When the people in the room heard the movement, they had already stood up and looked towards the opening of the door.

Both looked as usual, not surprised to see each other here.

This is the old Palace Master's study, and now there are two people who can open the magic circle to come in, Yan Kaiting and Hu Donglai.Hu Donglai has been helping the old palace master handle documents, and he was authorized before his death.

After Yan Kaiting succeeded to the throne, for some unknown reason, he did not withdraw Hu Donglai's authorization.

But Hu Donglai does not regard himself as an outsider, and still retains his previous habits, often coming to read books.Most of the books here are Taoist notes, key points of refining weapons, and a few miscellaneous travel notes.In fact, he came much more diligently than Yan Kaiting.

Hu Donglai moved first, he closed a jade booklet in his hand, put it back on the shelf, and then bowed and said, "Palace Master."

Yan Kaiting nodded, walked to the desk and sat down, said: "Half of the books here are inherited from the Yan family, and the other half is from the collection of my father during his lifetime. You can take some from this half as souvenirs."

Hu Donglai's face suddenly changed.

Without waiting for him to speak, Yan Kaiting said, "You don't have to come here anymore."

Hu Donglai quietly clenched his five fingers, and forced himself to be calm and said: "Mansion Master, may I ask why?"

"Because I am the Palace Master."

Hu Donglai suffocated, and said in a deep voice: "My authority is given by the old Palace Master!"

Yan Kaiting took a paperweight on the table to play with, and said casually: "I just remind you that the blood of the Yan family can reset the magic circle, and the old authority will naturally become invalid. If you are not careful at that time, I don't know the magic circle here What does it look like to start it?"

Hu Dong's momentum is not as good as others, there is nothing to say, if he stays any longer, he will bring shame on himself.He didn't take anything, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and left.

Yan Kaiting suddenly stopped him, resting his elbows on the table, crossing his fingers against his chin, and asked curiously, "Do I just look so easy to bully? We've met each other in battle, and you still think I can coexist peacefully with you?"

Hu Donglai stopped in his tracks, turned his head slowly, and said: "The master must be reasonable and evidence-based when speaking and doing things. You blame me for no reason outside, and your subordinates dare not say more for the sake of the Jiangfu's face. But in the mansion, There is also Master Xia, and the collegial council! Now that the city defense battle is approaching, it is not easy to cause extra troubles, and everything is just waiting, and the matter of Fang Jiangshi's termination of the contract must be explained at the meeting to convince the public."

Yan Kaiting listened quietly, put his fingers on his forehead, and laughed deeply, "I thought I was already naive and ridiculous, but there are people who are more pure than me. Why do you think I need to reason with you?"

Hu Donglai suddenly burst into anger, blushing and said: "Why do you sit there and teach me? How can I not be as good as you?! Teacher Xiang's life is not for you to waste!"

Yan Kaiting said slowly: "You are his apprentice, so do you consider yourself a son-in-law?"

Hu Donglai's eyes gradually turned red, and he said in a deep voice, "Whether I am his son-in-law or something else, you know it in your heart!"

Yan Kaiting still had that lazy expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and his eyes were full of ice and snow, "I don't understand. You can say it out loud."

Hu Donglai shook his head abruptly, turned around and left.

After a while, as if sensing that no one was moving around in the room, the half-open door was gently closed by itself.

"Master Xiang, Master Xia," Yan Kaiting read in a low voice, and then let out a sneer of unknown meaning.

His biological father's surname was Xiang, but for a long time, almost no one mentioned it.The old Palace Master of Yan Mansion in Yujing City called him Junsheng affectionately, Kongluo Guru with a little distance, and the rest were Palace Masters.

Yan Kaiting leaned lazily on the back of the chair, half sitting and half lying down, his eyes swept over the room again and again.Finally, it landed on the wall of thorns that was the size of a washbasin on the beam above the head.

The shading crocodile is pulled aside by a traction cable, and the patterned fabric is like a colorful cloud floating in the air. The edge is decorated with a delicate knot, and the core is a hollow jade buckle.

However, Yan Kaiting could see clearly at this time that it was actually a plain jade ring.If it is on a dark background such as peacock blue, it will be set off brilliantly, but it will look inconspicuous on the simple and elegant main color of crocodile.

It was a jade ring with the same style and texture as the one seen on the sparrow feather coat in Xiang Yao's house in the "Flower God Temple".
