Nanyang went to the kitchen to cook porridge early in the morning. When she was making porridge, she thought silently, she couldn't just feed Qinghuan dry porridge with no taste, but what else could she cook? Maybe... If you can't put the seasoning well just because your hands are shaking, go online and buy one...
The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted her thoughts.
Nanyang turned off the fire on the stove, took out his mobile phone, and saw the caller ID, his eyes couldn't help bending. She pressed the phone: "Acheng?"
A childish girl's voice came from the phone: "Old Ancestor, good morning to you." There was a rustling over there, "I'm already on my knees here, please get me up."
"Okay, I don't know if you kneel or not?" Nan Yang made a rare joke with others.
"It's done when the meaning is reached. It's a modern society. It's too feudal to ask good morning to kneel down." Tomorrow evening Cheng's voice was laughing, sounding in a good mood, "Do you have time today? Last night, too. In a hurry, hug you and leave, can we meet today?"
"Yeah." Nanyang agreed.
"Then see you in an hour. I'll wait for you at Wanda's Starbucks."
Nanyang thought for a while and said, "Change to a higher-end, hidden restaurant. My photos are all over the Internet now, and going to Starbucks may be troublesome."
"Starbucks is indeed not a secret, but is it not high-end? A cup of coffee is fifty or sixty, which is very expensive." Cheng Cheng sighed tomorrow night, "It's different that the ancestors have someone to take care of, even if I appear in Starbucks, it's not the same as me. The eighteenth-tier starlets that people can recognize are much richer."
"This era is much more convenient than it was thousands of years ago. As long as we have a mobile phone, we can keep in touch all the time. Call me in the future when you are short of money."
After all, Nanyang is not a person who makes money, and has no concept of money at all. Since ancient times, she has been served by people, and she has endless money, so she has always been generous with money. But it doesn't matter, Mei Zhongli and the others are very willing to spend money on her, and they want Nanyang to spend more of their money. Mei Zhongli didn't even marry a wife, just to avoid having a child and fighting for family property with Nanyang.
"I remember what you said, I will come to you for more money in the future!"
"Okay, see you in an hour, I'll find the restaurant and send you the address."
Tomorrow night, Cheng grinned and said, "The disciple retire," and ended the call.
Nanyang put the cooked porridge on the dining table, went back to the room to get the car keys, and went out alone. This was the rare initiative she took to go out after Qing Huan moved in. She likes to be alone, or with Qing Huan. The world outside the house is too noisy, and those people and things have nothing to do with her. The unrelated sorrows and joys are rubbish in her ears.
When we arrived at the restaurant we ordered, Cheng was already waiting there tomorrow night.
She noticed footsteps approaching and turned her head at the first time.
She looked like a teenage girl, with long hair draped over her shoulders softly, her brows and eyes as clear as spring and summer brooks, and when her eyes touched Nanyang, layers of ripples appeared in her eyes.
When she doesn't speak, she is very similar to Nanyang's temperament, calm and indifferent, a trait that belongs only to those who have studied swords and aisles.
Tomorrow night Cheng is Qing Huan's apprentice.
In other words, it was Yun Tang's apprentice to help Qing Huanshuo.
Qing Huan had never accepted an apprentice before his death. After her death, Nanyang still gave her a title of honored lord, and the world knows that Beifu has a honored lord named Qinghuan. Now that the name is hung up, it is always inappropriate for the disciples to be empty. So Yun Tang, as Qing Huan's senior sister, accepted such a young apprentice in the name of Qing Huan.
To a certain extent, Nanyang has always regarded Qinghuan, Yuntang, and Bian Zijian as his own children, so their disciples are equivalent to his own grandchildren. It is said that grandparents always dote on children a little bit more between generations. Nanyang's doting on Ming Wancheng is almost the same reason. Not to mention that Wan Cheng is still the only serious apprentice in Qing Huan's family. When Cheng was young tomorrow night, she always liked to hold her around like her little granddaughter.
Tomorrow night, Cheng has a cute face and is a little orphan who was picked up by Yun Tang from outside. The similar background to Qing Huan made Nanyang pity her even more, and she helped to give her the name. The night is clear and the sky is as pale as water. Taken from this allusion.
Tomorrow night, Cheng was scolded by Yun Tang for not practicing the sword well, but Nan Yang dragged Yun Tang to persuade her. She ran to and fro to lift the roof in the north, Yun Tang was so angry that he wanted to beat her, but Nan Yang stopped him: "The child is young, Don't do it." Even Yuntang and Bian Zijian didn't dare to be big or small with Nanyang, but tomorrow night Cheng dared, not only did she dare to be big or small, she also dared to pull Nanyang's eyebrows.
Nanyang said, let her get it right, it will grow longer anyway.
How much she indulged Qinghuan back then, was how much she indulged Ming Wancheng at that time. And tomorrow night Cheng also knows her special identity well. She knows that Nanyang loves Wu and Wu, and because she is the nominal apprentice of Master Qinghuan, Nanyang especially prefers her. Relying on this preference, she did all wrongs and all evils in Beifu, and she walked sideways.
Tomorrow night Cheng has heard Yun Tang tell a story about a princess since he was a child.
In Yuntang's story, there will be a beautiful and delicate little girl living in the palace, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and two dimples when she smiles. When she is happy, butterflies will turn around her. When she is angry, boys will line up to coax her. If she likes you, she will kiss you and hug you, cute and well-behaved. Tomorrow night Cheng yearns for the princess in the story, and she secretly decides that when she grows up, she must abduct a princess back.
She said that if she wanted to abduct, then she must be abducted.
She slipped down the mountain at the age of sixteen and went to various surrounding countries to find her princess. Yun Tang was going to catch her back, but Nan Yang's words "let her go" put her off.
No one expected that two years later, Cheng would really bring a princess back to the mountain tomorrow night.
That was the eldest princess of Xixia Kingdom, she was older than Ming Wancheng, and Ah Cheng had to call her sister. Yun Tang and Bian Zi watched around her for a long time, and felt that this princess was very virtuous, gentle and beautiful, and her ration to Ah Cheng was also good. Tomorrow night, Cheng said triumphantly that she had robbed her relatives. The princess was about to be sent to be married. She directly broke into the soldiers and snatched people out of the sedan chair.
The princess blushed and stared at Ming Wancheng, scolding her for being a disciple.
Nanyang could see that although the princess always scolds Ah Cheng, she likes Ah Cheng in her heart. She would quietly go to the kitchen to help Acheng cook, she would drag Acheng's clothes and walk on Acheng's shadow, kiss the corner of her mouth when Acheng was sleeping, and sometimes, she would wash Acheng herself. clothing.
In any case, Nanyang thought it was amazing that a princess would cook and wash clothes for one person. She never washed Qing Huan's clothes.
The two of them seem to be stuck together, and no one can leave the other. If the princess went down the mountain to buy things in the village, Ah Cheng would run from the Rongku Pavilion to the Casting Sword Pond, shouting everywhere, "Where is my sister, where is my sister?" When he arrived at the main hall of the sect master, he carefully called Nanyang an ancestor and asked her, "Did Ah Cheng make a mistake again?"
Nanyang said yes, she made mistakes every day.
The princess will apologize for Cheng and Nanyang tomorrow night, saying that you should not be angry with Ah Cheng's childish temper.
Nanyang was silent for a moment and said, I'm not angry, just don't punish her for kneeling on the washboard. The washboard of Rongku Pavilion has been smashed by her kneeling for five pieces, and I can't wash my clothes.
The princess smiled and said yes.
Once, Nan Yang accidentally bumped into Ah Cheng, who had been sentenced to kneel on the washboard all night, sitting high on the stone table with his trousers rolled up to his thighs. The princess sat on the edge of the stone bench and kneaded her swollen knees gently. Ah Cheng muttered aggrievedly, "Sister, don't punish me for kneeling, my brothers and sisters are laughing at me."
The princess smiled and said, Ah Cheng, I just hope you can learn to be a gentle person.
A Cheng asked: What is gentle
The princess said, don't bully your brothers and sisters just because they like you. Don't pluck her eyebrows just because the ancestor of Nanyang favors you. You have to understand that getting your eyebrows plucked hurts just as it hurts to kneel on a washboard.
Ah Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, I will become a gentle person like my sister."
The princess smiled and bowed her head, kissed Ah Cheng's swollen knee, and said, Ah Cheng is so good. Ah Cheng, when will you marry me
From that day on, Cheng kept shouting in front of Nanyang tomorrow night: I don't want to practice Taoism anymore, I want to marry a daughter-in-law! Every time after shouting, Yun Tang hangs up and beats him, and he teaches him a lesson while beating: Daughter-in-law, you marry my mother, and the Tao must be repaired by my mother! Do you still want to run after entering the North Punishment? dream!
They had a really good life when they were young, and Nanyang was also considering letting them get married.
However, the princess was kidnapped after all.
If you lose something, don't you want to get it back
After going around in circles, Xixia Kingdom finally found Bei Pu. Xixia is a small country and has no power, so it is hoped that the harmony with the big country will quell the war. Now that the princess has been robbed, they must come to ask for someone.
How could Nanyang take care of them. She asked more than a dozen Northern Punishment disciples to bind the Xixia messenger who came to ask for someone, put it in a sack, beat it up, and threw it back.
Xixia Kingdom is very angry, a Jianghu sect, you have turned against the sky? In a fit of anger, he prepared the whole country to attack Beifu Mountain. The number of Beipu's disciples was already large, and they were all masters of kendo. The kind of big-headed soldiers trained by a small country, they could beat a dozen or so. Northern Punishment has always been that people don't offend me and I don't offend others. If you insist on scratching the tiger's beard, don't blame yourself for dying without a whole body.
So after half a month, Xixia was wiped out.
Nanyang did not intend to make it so serious, and the country was not punished by the north. The king seemed to have gone crazy, and he just threw all the manpower of the country on this battle. The big country next to him saw the opportunity and easily entered their palace, killed their king, and occupied them. changed their city flags. The disappearance of a country is as simple as that, as soon as the person on the throne changes, a new country is established. The people feel that it doesn't matter, as long as they can eat and drink, they don't care what your monarch's surname is.
Just when everyone felt that the years could finally be quiet and peaceful, a piece of news that everyone had not expected came from the Sword Discourse Platform—
Ah Cheng's princess, jumped off a cliff and died for her country.
Jumped from the highest point of the Sword Discourse Platform. Before the jump, she and Ah Cheng took a walk there after dinner, and Ah Cheng was still talking about the candle that was a little smoky last night. It was just such an ordinary afternoon when she let go of her hand, without warning, without saying goodbye, without looking back.
martyrdom.
- What a proud woman.
Yun Tang sighed.
- But there's no need for that, is there
Bianzi was puzzled.
- Man's inherent desire. What are you asking for, outsiders are not enough.
Nanyang explained to Yuntang and Bian Zichang like this, and also comforted Ming Wancheng in this way.
Tomorrow night Cheng understands this truth, the princess has a destiny and perseverance that belongs to the princess, she can love her tomorrow night Cheng, and she can love her Xixia Kingdom. She understands, but she can't think about it. The person she loves is dead, how can she think about it
That month Nanyang sat on the Sword Discourse Platform every day and did not dare to go back at night. Because Ah Cheng runs here every day, every day he wants to jump from here and lie down next to the cold corpse under the cliff.
"Are you willing to do anything as long as you can see her again?" Nanyang once again grabbed Ah Cheng who wanted to jump off the cliff and asked.
Ah Cheng cried and asked Nan Yang, "Don't you want to see my master Qing Huan? Don't you want to see her?"
Nanyang grabbed her right hand and trembled. After a long time, he said:
"I don't want you to follow in my footsteps. Ah Cheng, the forbidden technique has a price."
"I'm not afraid."
Nanyang looked into her eyes, and his voice increased: "It's a very painful price."
"I'm not afraid of pain."
Nanyang let go of his hand and said, "Okay."
She didn't want Ah Cheng to become like her, but there was no other way. Perhaps, as long as there is hope of seeing that person again, no matter how painfully he lives in this world, Ah Cheng will be as happy as he is, just like himself.
Tomorrow night Cheng, like Nanyang, won eternal life, and a hope for the 99th.
From then on, they each followed the reincarnation of their lover, and Cheng left Beifu Mountain tomorrow night to search for the princess' next life. In ancient times, there were no good communication tools, and the only reliable one was flying pigeons to pass books, but the places where the two people were not fixed, and gradually lost all contact.
No one would have imagined that three thousand years later, at a star-studded charity dinner, Ming Wancheng, who was not well-known and was squeezed into a small corner, would see the old man standing beside Zhu Qinghuan, who was as cold as a wind and snow.
After three thousand years of reunion, apart from fate, there is no other possibility.
Fate is undoubtedly the most cherished thing in this world.
Cheng stood up from his seat tomorrow night and looked at Nanyang with red eyes, as if he could not hold back his tears: "Old, ancestor."
Nanyang smiled at her: "Sit down, don't kneel."
"Crazy, kneeling here..." Tomorrow night Cheng wiped a tear, and waited for Nanyang to come and sit down before she sat down.
"Have you ordered?" Nanyang picked up the menu.
"I ordered it. I ordered the most expensive Big Mac package."
Sure enough, it's still the familiar Ah Cheng. If you can pit Nanyang one hundred, you will not only pit ninety-nine.
"Yeah." Nan Yang responded.
"Thank you, ancestor," nodded tomorrow night, "I read Weibo, and you and Zhu Qinghuan seem to have a good relationship."
Nanyang looked at the menu and frowned: "Presumptuous. What should you call her?"
"Uh... Master, I'll call her Master." Tomorrow evening Cheng immediately corrected his title, "I saw some people on Weibo saying that Master can fall asleep at dinner parties, maybe she's pregnant, I didn't hear you. Did this happen, was it an unwanted pregnancy?"
Nanyang's face turned cold, "Nonsense, how can two women get pregnant unexpectedly?"
"Yes..." Tomorrow night Cheng scratched his head.
"... What about you, have you found her in this life?"
"Yeah!" Ming Wancheng nodded vigorously, "This is the ninety-seventh life, I can wait until she turns into a human, don't you know, she was a ugly, ugly golden retriever in the last life. I only know that the snail that eats vegetable leaves was a cobblestone on the side of the road in the last life. Why can my master be so beautiful in his reincarnation? It is a plum blossom and a rabbit, I am so envious.”
Is it beautiful
Nanyang lowered his eyes, remembering a lifetime, and Qing Huan turned into a little spider.
Nanyang is afraid of spiders. In those years, she kept her in a fish tank and wanted to touch her, but she didn't dare. She was also vigilant that she would escape from prison. Every night she had nightmares, dreaming that a spider would sneak out and bite her toes while she was asleep. It was at that time that Nanyang developed the habit of wrapping every toe in the quilt when he slept.
Cheng continued: "It took me a while to know her name, but I haven't had time to get to know her yet."
Nanyang put down the menu, "What's it called? I'll go back and check it out for you."
Cheng blushed tomorrow night: "Qi Yi."
