Chapter 343: First
The latest chapter after wearing a white moonlight stand-in!
When Qiao Wan was following behind Miaofa, the middle-year-old boy couldn't help muttering all the way.
What is this Joe late?
Uncle actually brought Qiao Wan home? ?
The Cui Mansion is much quieter than Qiao Wan imagined. There are no people in the huge mansion. Although the pavilions and waterside pavilions are scattered, many places have been dilapidated. , very bleak.
It doesn't look like people live there all year round.
Following Miaofa all the way into the study, the other party stopped, pulled out the Taoist book from the bookshelf and handed it to her.
As soon as she entered the study, Qiao Wan restrained her curiosity and tried her best not to read more.
Compared with the Cui Mansion, which was obviously run down, the study room was still somewhat popular. It looked like it had been tidy up. The bookshelves were full of jade slips, and the incense burner on the table was lit with sandalwood, and the fragrance was cool and cold.
Qiao Wan didn't even look at it, just stuffed it into the storage bag.
And then no more.
Standing in the same place, Qiao Wan was a little embarrassed, "Then... the junior will leave now."
Unexpectedly, the other party's cold and quiet voice sounded: "It's getting late, Qiao Wan, you can rest in the Cui Mansion for a night today."
Qiao Wan paused and said nothing, staring silently at the sandalwood floating in the air.
Miao Fa may have misunderstood her meaning, and frowned again, "You don't want to?"
After thinking for a while, "I was abrupt, I'll take you back."
"No...no." A voice as thin as a mosquito rang.
The girl blushed, holding her saber and giving a big salute: "Naughty... I've disturbed the senior..."
The dinner was eaten in the Cui Mansion. There were no servants in the Cui Mansion. The dishes in front of her seemed to be cooked by Venerable Miaofa himself.
Qiao Wan straightened her back and sat at the table. The Lu Xiebao boy seemed to be very afraid of his uncle, and changed his sitting position a little. Venerable Miaofa frowned and said sharply, "Sit down."
The boy shivered all over and immediately stiffened.
Qiao Wan looked at the magic method not far away and was a little lost.
The man half-drooped his eyes, and withdrew his coquettish phoenix eyes, his dark blue hair fell on his cheeks, very soft, and looked a bit like that kind of very strict mistress?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Qiao Wan was immediately embarrassed.
Of course, the food on the table is still delicious. I thought it was a vegetarian vegetarian meal, but I didn't expect there to be meat... there is meat! !
It's just that Venerable Miaofa himself basically didn't touch the meat in this plate, and it seemed that it was specially made for her and Lu Xiebao.
Venerable Miaofa of the Great Hall of Light is worthy of being the number one mistress who is strict and virtuous!
On the table, there is a bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoots soup, a plate of beef in sauce, and a plate of fried green radish. Although it is simple, the beef in sauce is very well cooked. The meat is tender and mellow, fat but not greasy, and the white and transparent beef hoof tendons are soft and waxy. Chewy, the soup seems to have penetrated into the beef, and it is full of color and flavor.
So delicious that Qiao Wan almost swallowed her tongue.
The fresh bamboo shoot soup is very delicious, and the fried radish is clean and refreshing.
I don't know if Senior and Dad will have a common language when they are together.
After dinner, as a borrower, there is no point in staying here any longer. Qiao Wan politely said goodbye and returned to her room.
As a result, he was suddenly stopped by someone under the corridor.
"Hey, wait!" the Lu Xiebao boy shouted.
Qiao Wan stopped and turned slightly.
The teenager caught up with her, stopped in front of her, looked at her from head to toe, and pouted: "You... are you really Qiao Wan?"
"What's your relationship with your uncle?"
Qiao Wan was stunned for half a second: What's the matter?
After deliberating for a moment, he answered honestly: "Senior has given me a lot of advice, and I am very grateful."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiebao had a shit-eating, indescribable expression: "Liar, my uncle doesn't bring people to the house casually."
Qiao Wan was surprised: "I... am I the first?
Was she the first to be brought home by the senior? !
Although I knew in my heart that Lu Xiebao didn't mean that at all, but when I thought about it, I only felt a bang in my head, and the temperature on his face rose rapidly.
Slowing down, don't turn your head, let the evening wind blow on your face to lower the temperature on your face, Qiao Wan asked hesitantly, "What kind of person is your uncle...?"
Lu Xiebao said: "My uncle is a good man and a gentleman."
"The Cui Mansion was a prominent family in Luofengzhou. My grandmother believed in Buddhism, so she named my uncle Pitan. I guess my grandmother never dreamed that my uncle would actually become a monk. My grandmother died early," recalled the boy, "I My mother said that my grandfather was very strict with her and her uncle, and she would not say a word or a word, and if she did not act properly and said a word more, she would be beaten."
"Uncle, he... He has always been reluctant to stay at home. He told his mother that he felt that he was not worthy of today's luxurious lifestyle. He exploited the tenants in the family to maintain the extravagant expenses of the Cui family. feel uneasy."
Qiao Wan froze in place, slightly lost in thought.
In front of him, he seemed to outline a young man from an aristocratic family who was cautious in his words and deeds. He straightened his back and sat in front of a few cases, his eyes half-drooping. The moonlight outlined his tall, tall figure, clear and cold.
"My uncle was supposed to inherit the family business, but he sympathized with the laborers and lived a simple life. He never wanted to spend more and enjoy more. My uncle had a good relationship with those tenants, but not so good with his grandfather. "
"When my uncle was sixteen years old, he ran away from home. After that, my mother never saw him again, and the Cui Mansion was not a family of cultivators. After my grandfather died, the Cui Mansion fell into decline. Immortal later took down this old house, and it took another hundred years for me to be born, and it was only later that I learned that my uncle is already a venerable person admired by everyone in the Great Light Hall."
In the middle of the night, Qiao Wan was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling very melancholy.
The bed in Cui Mansion made her feel uncomfortable all over her body, and she didn't know if it was an illusion. She always felt that the pillow and quilt smelled of sandalwood.
That smell, she had once smelled on Senior Miaofa.
Thinking again that the supper was cooked by Venerable Miaofa, Qiao Wan sat up from the bed with a carp upright, frowned, and glanced at the furnishings in the room in surprise.
Could it be that this room was also cleaned up by the seniors, and he also made the bed? Maybe he also had a quilt or something?
The windows in the house are bright and clean, the grounds are clean, and there is even a vase of flowers on the table.
Thinking that the quilt might have been laid in a clever way, the temperature on Qiao Wan's face couldn't help but jump higher and higher, and finally she turned over and got out of bed in despair.
Can't sleep at all.
Open the door, the moon is already hanging very high, and the moonlight is like flowing water on the promenade.
It's not yet spring, and in the middle of the night, there is a fine snow. Moonlight and snow, very gentle. Suddenly, Qiao Wan followed the memory of the day, came to the study, and stood still.
The lamp in the study was actually on, and a gentle candlelight swayed slightly in the wind and snow, projected on the window.
The door of the study was half-closed, and there was a light on the wonderful way of sitting in front of several desks, with scriptures stacked on the table.
After hearing Lu Xiebao's reinstatement, his uncle started to translate Buddhist scriptures.
It was late at night, perhaps because he had been sitting at the desk for too long to translate, Miao Fa frowned slightly, pinched his brows lightly, tucked the long hair that fell on his cheeks behind his head, and re-tie the headband, just like copying with his eyes down.
Qiao Wan stood for a while, a little hesitant to come forward to say hello. It stands to reason that she had to come forward, but Senior Miaofa copied it so seriously...
At this moment, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from the study: "Come in."
Was caught on the spot or something...
Raising her eyes to meet those blue-blue eyes, Qiao Wan scratched her head uncomfortably, and stammered, "When did senior find out?"
Miaofa was silent for a while, as if she had laughed angrily, "Standing at the door like a piece of wood, do you really think I didn't find it?"
The other party was busy transcribing and translating Buddhist scriptures, so he didn't intend to greet her, and he continued to work on his own business with his eyes down.
Qiao Wan stood quietly in the room for a while, and walked to the bookshelf by herself, looking for a book to read.
As soon as she opened it, she didn't expect a dull "pop", and another book fell out of the book in her hand.
This movement attracted the wonderful method that was still transcribing Buddhist scriptures.
Qiao Wan was shocked to find that this was actually a picture of this **** palace! !
In an instant, Qiao Wan's whole body cracked subtly.
Why does Venerable Miaofa have **** pictures in his study? ! ! An unsettled demon monk? !
On the page of the book, two villains fighting with goblins are entangled in a fancy way.
Venerable Miaofa was stunned for a moment, and his face froze when his eyes fell on this **** palace picture.
Qiao Wan immediately straightened her body, raised the book in her hand, and hurriedly proved her innocence: "This... this fell from here!!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Venerable his face getting stiffer, worse, and darker.
Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized.
Maybe, probably, Venerable, he didn't even know that there was such a thing? It is known that Venerable Miaofa has just returned to Cui Mansion. Before that, the only person who could enter and leave Cui Mansion was the young Lu Xiebao. Therefore, this **** palace is likely to be temporarily deposited by Lu Xiebao in his uncle. in the library.
After thinking about it, Qiao Wan silently glanced at Venerable's very unpleasant face, and silently ordered a wax for this little brother.
It's too embarrassing to hide something in the **** palace that was discovered by my uncle.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, Lu Xiebao was dragged out of the bed by Venerable Miaofa rudely and resolutely.
"Uncle?" The boy was not dressed properly, his eyes were blank, and he was busy tying his belt while calling, "Uncle!!"
Miaofa has no mercy at all, and said with a cold face: "Nie Zha, do you hide in my study secretly from your mother and look at these things on weekdays?!"
"Kneel down!!"
Looking up at Qiao Wan's "please allow sadness" face, his eyes fell on the open spring palace on the ground again, Lu Xiebao suddenly froze in place, shivered a bit, and shouted, lying on the ground and didn't dare to dare. out.
"Apart from this one, where are the others hidden by you?" Venerable Miaofa said coldly, "Go find it yourself."
Under the coercion of his uncle, Lu Xiebao closed his eyes tremblingly, and dug out one, two, three, four, five, six ... more than ten **** palaces from the bookshelf, and knelt at the feet of Venerable Miaofa, a look of shame and anger. appearance.
Qiao Wan couldn't help admiring the courage of this young man in the presence of the Buddhist giants, with the **** palace in the Buddhist scriptures.
Hello! Strong man!
The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and his family taught him a lesson. Qiao Wan felt that it was not appropriate for him to stay here, so he politely resigned and avoided a step.
Lu Xiebao burst into tears: "Uncle, uncle, I really didn't do it on purpose, this is what my senior brothers put me here, and the Cui Mansion is usually unoccupied, so they dare not bring these things home, so they begged me to take them home. Hide these things in your study, uncle, for the time being."
If Venerable Miaofa wants to believe his nonsense, he will be blinded as a teacher in Buddhism.
The venerable who taught countless disciples under the sect snorted coldly with a blank face, and slashed out with a stern eye knife: "Kneel down, don't get up unless I tell you, do you hear?"
Lu Xiebao looked at this Jianshui Qiutong with trembling eyes, with smooth muscles, elegant air, and beautiful and fierce, like the master mistress of the flower that cannot be climbed (mistakenly).
Miaofa's eyes fell on the open spring palace on the table, and she stared at it for a moment, then looked away, as if she touched something hot, she immediately closed her eyebrows with stiff fingertips.
After that, without looking at Lu Xiebao any more, he walked straight out of the study, closed his eyes, there was a man crying on the **** palace, and the corner of his clothes suddenly became pink, and he looked like a girl, and his arms climbed up on the man. 's neck.
The man had a thin waist and belly, smooth and powerful lines, dark blue hair was slightly wet, the straight bridge of the nose was buried in her neck, and the slender eyelashes brushed the skin, causing the girl to tremble, her eyes were slightly blank, and her face was red. , stuttering, crying and calling "senior".
"Senior?" A clear and crisp voice suddenly sounded.
Qiao Wan, who stepped out of the study and was standing under the porch watching the snow, looked at the man in front of him in surprise and suddenly stopped, his thin lips were tight, his face was still black, the man's pretty face was slightly cold, but he grasped it. her wrist.
