Chapter 43
Until Xiao's father and Xiao Zidan were about to take the exam, Huaiying's leg was still not healed, but she could walk a few steps slowly with a cane.On the day of Chunwei, Long Xining called a large carriage from the National Teacher's Mansion, and took the three of Xiao's family to the gate of the Gongyuan.

"Nothing left behind, check it carefully." Huaiying still remembers being framed by Dong Cheng at the beginning. As the saying goes, she was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Now she is a little supernatural. Since I left the house, I have said this sentence several times, so Father Xiao couldn't help joking with her: "Our family Huaiying is only so old, and her brain is a bit difficult at a young age. But how come."

Huaiying hadn't spoken yet, but Long Xining got angry, and immediately replied: "What's wrong with Huaiying, she was worried that you were wrong. If Huaiying hadn't reminded me last time, Xiao Zidan might have— —”

"Shiro!" Huaiying abruptly interrupted him, and gave him a reproachful wink.Long Xining flattened his mouth in aggrieved manner, leaned into Huaiying's ear and said, "How could your father say that about you?"

"Father is joking, you can't even tell." Huaiying said angrily, "Why are you so stupid, didn't you always say that I was wrong before, are they all sincere?"

"When did I tell you that you were not good? Impossible!" Long Xining became anxious immediately.

"Why not..." The two actually started arguing in the carriage.

Father Xiao pointed at Huaiying, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You talk about Huaiying, and you always say Shiro is childish. Look at her now, she doesn't look like a big girl."

Xiao Zidan turned to Huaiying completely, and said without hesitation: "It's not all caused by Shiro, Huaiying was not like this before." Huaiying has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and never did such childish things.Except for Long Xining, she had never quarreled with anyone else.

The carriage was still one street away from the Gongyuan, and there were so many pedestrians on the road, shoulder to shoulder, not to mention the carriage, it was not easy to even walk over.Father Xiao and Xiao Zidan got off the car here, and Huaiying wanted to see him off again, but Father Xiao stopped him: "It's good to get here, Huaiying, your legs and feet are inconvenient, and it's not easy to get out after a while. I'm with your elder brother, and there are some people to take care of me, so you don't have to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, Father Xiao solemnly bowed his hands towards Long Xining again, and said: "Huaiying has troubled Shiro to take care of her these few days. After all, she is still young, and she is not in good health, and occasionally has a temper. No, I made you angry, so don't take it to heart, and talk about her when I come back."

Long Xining quickly replied seriously: "Uncle Ling, don't worry, leave it on me." While talking, he went to peek at Huaiying's expression, and found that she didn't notice him at all, and was a little disappointed.He coughed heavily again, pretending to be authentic, "Uncle Ling and your elder brother are about to enter the arena, why don't you say something nice?"

Huaiying gave him a blank look, and said: "My father and elder brother are both confident, but no matter what I say, they will be able to go to high school. Maybe they will come back with a champion in the end." In fact, she probably knew it in her heart. Xiao Zidan had also reported in front of Du Heng. No matter who the main examiner is this year, as long as their writing is not too bad, they should be able to go to high school, but the ranking is hard to say.It stands to reason that Xiao's father's knowledge is more solid than Xiao Zidan's. However, when it comes to the rankings, Xiao Zidan may not be able to rank at the top. After all, he is young and handsome. It is said that this is how the No. [-] scholar came from.

Father Xiao and Xiao Zidan waved goodbye to Huaiying with smiles. Long Xining stood outside the car and watched them squeeze into the crowd. After a while, he opened the curtain and entered the car, saying: "Everyone is in, Let's go."

Huaiying glanced at him and nodded.

There were still many people on the street, and the carriage was not moving fast. Huaiying and Xiao Zidan were chatting one after another, and sometimes when they heard a shop outside shouting loudly, Huaiying would not be able to help but stealthily. I drove the curtain and looked outside: "There are fried wontons, they are really delicious."

"Are you hungry?" Long Xining asked, and after finishing speaking, he said in a funny way, "You have eaten more than me recently, you have gained a lot of weight, and your face has become round." After beating Huaiying, he ignored her anger With a swollen face, he asked the coachman to stop with a smile, and jumped down by himself.Soon, Huaiying saw him at the fried wonton stand.

He quickly bought a bowl of fried wontons, but he was not in a hurry to come up when he was done. He looked here and there, and after a while, he walked to the window of the car and said in a low voice, "There are also sweet-scented osmanthus dumplings over there. It's delicious, I took a look, it's filled with black sesame stuffing, do you want to eat it?"

Are sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice balls as fragrant and sweet as sweet-scented osmanthus honey juice?Huaiying's saliva was about to flow out, but his face was quite calm, and he put on airs and said in a tone: "Well, you said it so well, so let's take two. Don't ask for too much, I can't eat it."

Long Xining smiled "puchi", turned around and asked the small vendor for a big portion, then turned back with a smile and said, "It's okay, you can just eat two, and I'll eat the rest." As he spoke, While handing over the fried wonton in his hand, he grabbed another one and threw it into his mouth. He nodded while eating, "It tastes good, don't finish it, save some for me."

"It's such a big bowl, how can I finish it?" Huaiying said angrily, seeing that the glutinous rice balls on the stall seemed to be almost cooked, she urged, "Hurry up, or someone else will snatch it away if it's too late. "It was early in the morning, and there were many people sitting on the glutinous rice ball stand, and everyone relied on robbing.

Seeing this, Long Xicui rushed over, snatched a bowl with undue bravery, ran back to pay the money, and jumped on the carriage in a hurry. There was a muffled "bang", and the carriage shook abnormally, but Long Xining didn't come in.

Huaiying vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he called Shiro softly, but he didn't answer.What happened?She quickly put the wontons and glutinous rice balls aside, and gently opened the curtain. "Huh——" Huaiying blinked and watched Long Xining grinning and rubbing his butt while struggling to get up from the ground.

Well done, he fell on the ground, is this really His Royal Highness the Dragon King?Long Xining was very uncomfortable losing such a big face in front of Huaiying, and explained in a low voice: "I... just saw a person, I was a little surprised, so I didn't pay attention to my feet."

Huaiying suppressed her laughter, and asked with concern: "Where is the injury? Let me see."

"Butt hurts." Long Xining grinned and shouted exaggeratedly, "It hurts to death."

"It deserves it!" Huaiying glared at him angrily, helped him into the carriage, and asked curiously, "Who did you see, so excited? Could it be that there are other gods descending from the heavens?" Who would make Long Xining lose his composure like this.But, don't these gods stay in the heaven well, and one or two go to the mortal world, and the emperor of heaven doesn't come out to take care of them?

Long Xining frowned and shook his head: "Maybe I was wrong, logically speaking, how could she appear here?"

"Who the hell?" The more vague he was, the more curious Huaiying became. There was a cat's paw scratching hard in his heart, and he refused to let go of Long Xining's sleeve.

Long Xining hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I look a bit like the Goddess of Yunzechuan, um, I haven't seen her for many years, maybe I misread it." He said so, but he didn't think so in his heart Yes, although it was just a glimpse, how could Long Xining's eyes and memory be mistaken, not to mention, he can still tell the difference between a mortal and a god.

Huaiying was also slightly stunned when she heard the words, and asked in confusion: "She has been missing for many years, why did she appear in the capital?" Huaiying's perception of this goddess is a bit subtle. The victim, but Huaiying couldn't like her, and even she couldn't explain why. Now that Long Xining suddenly mentioned her, Huaiying still felt a little weird.

"That's why it's strange." Long Xining shook his head suspiciously, blinked his eyes, and said mysteriously, "The third brother and Du Heng said that the third princess was wronged back then. If this is the case, then the goddess There is a problem. I don’t know who gave her benefits, ordered her to harm others, and tricked me to run up and down for her, and now I get angry when I think about it.”

When he was angry, he glanced at Huaiying's side, jumped up immediately, pointed to the almost empty wonton bowl beside her and said: "Why are they gone, didn't you say you would leave some for me? Xiao Huaiying, your belly is really big!"

Huaiying put the remaining two or three fried wontons in the bowl to the center of the bowl, a little embarrassed, but her mouth was still firm: "Isn't there a few left? Look, I haven't even eaten the glutinous rice balls."

"That's because you didn't have time at all." Long Xining pointed out the truth to the point.

"I'll just take a bite of this." While talking, Huaiying scooped up a glutinous rice ball and put it in his mouth. The skin was soft and springy, and the sesame filling was very fragrant. What's more, the sweet-scented osmanthus honey sauce outside was sweet but not greasy. , It's so delicious that people almost bite their tongues off.

Huaiying hugged the glutinous rice ball bowl in her arms and refused to let go, directing Long Xining to say, "... go and buy another bowl."

Long Xining: "..."

In the end, Long Xining got out of the carriage again and ordered two bowls of wontons and two bowls of glutinous rice balls. He sat down and finished eating before coming up.

Back to Loofah Lane, it was almost noon.There was Xiaohuan at home, and the meal was already prepared, Long Xining lay on the wall and called his elder brother to eat.Long Xichen hesitated for a while, but still came over.

"Brother, who do you think we met today?" During the meal, Long Xining said mysteriously, and before Long Xichen could speak, he continued, "It's the goddess of Yunzechuan. Will it be here? I haven't seen her for many years, brother, have you seen her?"

Long Xichen frowned and shook his head, thought for a while and said: "I have always felt that there is something wrong with that goddess, and there is an unspeakable evil spirit in her body, stay away from her, don't foolishly approach her like before, otherwise , You don’t even know if it’s sold.” When he spoke, he was not in a hurry, nor would he stare at anyone with a serious face, but it made people afraid to resist, and even dare not raise their heads to meet his gaze.

Long Xiling immediately froze, and argued in a low voice: "I was still young at that time." After he finished speaking, he felt a little blushing. He was over 1000 years old at that time, so he couldn't be considered young.

Long Xichen drank a cup of tea slowly as if he didn't hear it, and got up to say goodbye to Huaiying.

In the evening, Long Xiyan and Du Heng also came together.The two of them have been running to Loofah Alley recently, and they always have to talk to Huaiying every time they come. At first Huaiying was very uncomfortable, but after a lot of times, she didn't care.Huaiying has never been able to ask from Long Xining the reason why those two people looked at her differently, but Huaiying thinks that Long Xining should know. As for why he didn't tell her, Huaiying can only comfort himself and say that maybe he did it for She is good.

"Third brother, who do you think I met today?" Long Xining began to play the noon routine again and again, obviously he hadn't learned from his elder brother.Du Heng seemed to be in a good mood, and cooperated with him with a smile: "Who? Could it be some beautiful girl? I don't know any other lady in the capital that deserves Wulang's attention."

Long Xining's complexion changed suddenly, and seeing Huaiying's indifferent look, he felt a little unhappy in his heart: "How can there be any beautiful girl, she is the goddess of Yunzechuan, she is also in the capital, and she doesn't know how to do it. what."

Long Xiyan and Du Heng were taken aback for a moment. You looked at me and I looked at you, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

The two talked for a while, and asked about Long Xining's meeting with Goddess Yunzechuan in a circumstantial manner, and then they said goodbye and left together.

After getting into the carriage, Du Heng said with a sullen face: "I didn't expect them to come so fast." Since Huaiying was injured, her spiritual power has frequently experienced large-scale fluctuations. They asked Long Xining in a circumstantial way, Only then did I know that Huaiying always had strange nightmares.Du Heng and Long Xiyan guessed that she might recover soon.

Regarding this news, Du Heng was both excited and a little worried. The excitement was naturally because he could recognize his sister, but he was even more worried: firstly, it was not known whether Huaiying could accept this sudden change; secondly, it was because How will the gods in the heavens who have always regarded the three princesses as a thorn in their flesh react? If they find something strange again, I'm afraid things will be troublesome.

Seeing that Du Heng's face was very ugly, Long Xiyan quickly persuaded him, "Don't be nervous, it's not necessarily because of Huaiying." He frowned, and shook his head in confusion, "This Yun Zechuan Who does the Goddess belong to? After all these years, she hasn't shown her feet, and she can't even see anyone. Where did she go?"

As soon as Du Heng mentioned her, he became angry, and said displeasedly: "If she came here for Huaiying, sooner or later she would come to Loofah Lane to find her. No, I have to move here, what if they suddenly attack? It's up to Goro One, I'm afraid something will happen."

Long Xiyan said with a smile: "My elder brother is still here. With him here, no ghosts and snakes would dare to come to Loofah Lane. Otherwise, why do you think that Yunze Goddess is waiting at the gate of the Gongyuan." His elder brother's immortality is simply outstanding. , these years have been staying at home to practice and never go out, and his cultivation level is no worse than that of the old Dragon King. No one in the whole heaven would dare to provoke him desperately.With him sitting in Loofah Lane, Long Xiyan is still at ease.

Du Heng thought more, and said a little uncomfortably: "Of course I know what my elder brother is capable of, but... you also know how my elder sister died. Because of this, my elder brother has always had a heart-to-heart with my father. Back then The third sister had an accident, and I went to ask him, but he didn't even want to see me." Du Heng really didn't know how to ask Long Xichen to protect Huaiying.

Long Xiyan obviously knew about what happened back then. After a long silence, he said cautiously: "I understand the big brother's temper. After so many years, he has not been able to get out of the shadow of the past. You ask him to come forward and save the third brother." Princess, that's a delusion, but Huaiying is different, besides being the third princess, she is also Huaiying, the person Wu Lang likes, just for this, my elder brother will never stand idly by."

Seeing that Du Heng was still a little hesitant, he said helplessly: "You have to know your current status. If you really want to move here, what does it look like? Maybe there will be some gossip. What do you think? There is also Wulang, we have been hiding it from him all the time, and I am afraid we will soon be unable to hide it." Taking ten thousand steps back, even if his elder brother doesn't make a move, even if Long Xining can't hold it, isn't Huaiying gradually recovering? Without aura, who can get good from her?

The two of them discussed and discussed, but they couldn't come up with any other better idea. In the end, Du Heng was persuaded by Long Xiyan.

"I have people watching in the city. If we find Goddess Yunze, we will kill them first and catch them by surprise. This time we must find out who is behind it!"

What the two of them said, Huaiying and Long Xining didn't know. For Huaiying now, the only thing worth caring about was the exam of Father Xiao and Xiao Zidan.Three days passed in a flash, and Long Xining and Huaiying were waiting at the gate of the Gongyuan early.

The street was crowded with people again, but fortunately Huaiying and the others arrived early, so the carriage could squeeze to the front.Huaiying prepared hot water and clean clothes early, sat in the car and kept looking around.She had read books before, and heard people talk about the situation in the Gongyuan. The three days of eating and drinking were in a small room, even a strong man couldn't bear it. I don't know what it's like to be tossed.

After waiting for a while, the bell finally rang in the tribute courtyard, and after a while, students came out in a file.When they went to the Gongyuan for three days, they were full of ambition and full of energy, but now they are all depressed as if they have been ravaged by dozens of men.

Father Xiao and Xiao Zitan came out late, and when they saw Huaiying and Long Xining, neither of them got into the carriage, they stood under the carriage with their sleeves folded and shook their heads, "It stinks, don't smoke you."
