Chapter 893 The Girl with the Character Yue Who Throws Herself into Yuyan’s Arms

The two girls, Lu Jinghong and Sha Ergou did not notice the hesitant expression of the young man in the felt hat behind them.

"Sister Song is indeed convenient to meet. Unlike us, we are usually in Taotang and Zhutang, and it is difficult to see the lady and the legitimate daughter of Yue..."

Yu Mili's tone could not hide her admiration.

She, Lu and Sha were all somewhat envious of Song Zhian's opportunity to be the first to get the moon.

Li Wan also interrupted curiously:
"Jinghong, Miss Song, what kind of person is this Miss Liu Qing and what does she look like?"

Yu Mili tapped her lips with her index finger and recalled:
"She's about the same size as me, but a little thinner, with a small face, a delicate nose and eyes, and a ponytail. The most eye-catching thing is the tattoo on her forehead, but I can't see the pattern clearly..."

Song Zhian suddenly said:

"It was the word Yue. I happened to see it when she took off her headband during the secret room test today."

Li Wan and Lu Jinghong looked at each other:
"A tattoo of the word Yue?"

Sha Ergou was totally confused as he couldn't read a single word.

A young man at the back raised his hand awkwardly and adjusted the brim of his usual felt hat with two fingers.

In front, Li Wan nodded slowly and couldn't help but sigh:
"As expected, extraordinary people have extraordinary things. A girl like this who is favored by heaven must have hidden extraordinary things, just like the eldest lady with golden hair and beard blood, like the fifth and sixth lady with rare twins, and like the ancient saints with double pupils. It must be a sign of something extraordinary from the beginning."

Lu Jinghong stared at the night ahead and nodded seriously:

"That's right. Strange people have strange appearances. Although Miss Song and Miss Yu said that Miss Liu Qing looks like a girl next door, approachable and easy to talk to, how can such a demon be so simple?"

He frowned slightly, thinking seriously and pondering carefully. Ouyang Rong saw that Mr. Lu had a serious expression and said solemnly:
"She must have an extraordinary mind and has gone through many extraordinary things and many ups and downs. Just the fact that she met the Great Lady is probably enough to write a book. She has quickly... passed the first two realms of seeing mountains as mountains and water as water, and seeing mountains not as mountains and water not as water. She has reached the third realm mentioned in the saints' books... the high realm of seeing mountains as mountains and water as water!

"So, she is not as simple and naive as she looks. The fact that she can make Miss Song and Miss Yu feel approachable and want to get to know her shows how high her realm is.

"Miss Song, Miss Yu, when you get to know her, you should be careful and sincere when you speak to her. Don't try to beat around the bush. She may be as clear as a mirror and see through her. It's better to be honest with each other when you are together. The relationship will last longer. Remember this."

Lu Jinghong made a concentrated deduction. After he finished, he suddenly smiled, with a look of "I see" and nodded quickly:

"From this perspective, Chen Jiaxin is more like a childish girl. In the eyes of Miss Liu Qing, she is probably like she is wearing no clothes. She can see through her at a glance. She is even indifferent to it and will not care about it. Instead, she treats her with tolerance.

"After all, to adults, no matter how arrogant and willful a child is, he is still a child. This is a contempt in terms of realm... Hey, this Miss Liu Qing is worthy of being the champion of this session. She is far ahead in every aspect. She is really well hidden. I almost let my guard down and didn't see it."

Song, Yu and Li listened attentively.

"What Jinghong said makes sense."

Li Wan cast a satisfied look at her son and said with a graceful smile:
"Jinghong has really improved a lot. He knows how to draw inferences about other situations and has become more sensitive to these things. Not bad!"

Yu Mili's face was somewhat puzzled, but after digesting Lu Jinghong's words, she nodded:

"What Master Lu said is quite possible. That's right. Miss Liu Qing is a young lady personally selected and cultivated by the Grand Lady. She is not as simple as we described before. Well, that's good. Master Lu finally spoke reliably for once."

She smiled sweetly and gave a little praise.

Lu Jinghong's forehead suddenly darkened. What do you mean by "finally speaking truthfully for once"? Did I always talk like farting?

Lu Jinghong snorted coldly. He didn't want to argue with Yu Mili. It was mainly because Miss Song was present, and he had to remind himself to pay attention to his image all the time.

At this moment, Song Zhian suddenly raised her head and spoke in a voice as melodious and clear as a yellow warbler:

"Mr. Lu is right. A legitimate daughter of Yue must be extraordinary. This is true for Chen Jia and Miss Liu Qing. Mr. Lu is very insightful. I have learned a lot from him. Thank you very much for your advice!"

Lu Jinghong, who was originally unhappy because of Yu Mili, suddenly smiled. The upturned corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than the flood that broke through the Di Gongzha dam.

Sha Ergou behind him had an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Sha Ergou is not good at speaking, but Li Wan and Lu Jinghong think quickly and speak quickly, and they are ahead of him.

Actually, what Sha Ergou wanted to say was, Miss Liu Qing had a tattoo on her forehead, which meant she was born into a slave family, and she was thin and weak, so she might be like him and Brother Liu, who were also born in a poor place and had an honest and simple personality... Isn't it a very simple inference? It shouldn't be that complicated.

But at this moment, seeing that Miss Song and Miss Yu both agreed and no one objected, Sha Ergou, who was quite slow to react, swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

However, the description of the tattoo on his forehead still made him feel vaguely familiar. Although Sha Ergou could not read and did not know how to write the word "Yue", he seemed to have seen a similar tattoo somewhere before, and it seemed... it was also on that forehead?

Sha Ergou, who was standing at the back, looked around and suddenly asked in a puzzled manner:

"Brother Liu, do you have a tattoo, too? On your head? The first time I went to the bell tower to find you to ring the bell, you took off your hat and gave it to me. I think I saw it before. Is it a tattoo or something dirty?"

Ouyang Rong, who had been standing silently aside while the five people were chatting, raised his head and looked at Shargou's somewhat confused expression.

The two girls, Song and Yu, as well as Lu Jinghong and Li Wan and her son, immediately turned around and cast their eyes on the two of them.

Especially Ouyang Rong's dull face, their eyes gradually fell on it.

The atmosphere quieted down a little.

"Yes, I did, but it wasn't dirty."

Song Zhian and Yu Mili saw that Brother Liu still had a dull expression. He faced them and Sha Ergou and nodded.

Yu Mili asked doubtfully:

"Brother Liu also has a tattoo on his forehead? I see that Brother Liu rarely takes off his hat, and I never noticed it before..."

Ouyang Rong nodded and admitted directly:

"Yes, it is a tattoo. My ancestors used to be craftsmen in a public sword shop in the county. They were of low status for generations, and the tattoo shows it."

He spoke in a very calm and frank tone, without taking off the felt hat on his head that attracted everyone's attention.

There is no intention to take off the hat.

Song Zhian suddenly asked: "Is it engraved with a public pattern or words?"

"Name." Ouyang Rong said calmly: "You probably haven't heard of the abbreviation of that sword shop..."

"Haha."

At this moment, Lu Jinghong laughed and interrupted Ouyang Rong's words.

This young man in brocade clothes from the Fanyang Lu family laughed and pointed at Ouyang Rong's forehead, saying happily:
"Brother Liu, could it be that he also carved the word Yue on his name, just like the girl Liu Qing? Wait, it just so happens that Brother Liu said before that the chicken soup and peaches were given to some girl. Isn't this a coincidence that they both happen to have the surname Liu?"

"Snap~" Lu Jinghong snapped his fingers, looked around, and continued to laugh:
"Miss Song, Miss Yu, do you think Brother Liu and Miss Liu Qing are siblings? Brother Liu, Brother Liu, you are really a hidden talent. Hey, why didn't you say it earlier? Hahaha..."

Lu Jinghong was halfway through his joke when he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Wan covered her mouth with her handkerchief and couldn't help laughing.

But for the sake of courtesy, she still restrained herself a little and said with a smile:

"You know what, Brother Aliang, your names are really similar. Look, her name is Liu Qing, and your name is Liu Aliang. You really do look like a pair of siblings."

Song Zhian and Miss Yu didn't laugh much, but they both looked at Ouyang Rong, as if waiting for his reaction.

Song Zhian looked at Brother Liu's dull, silent face. For some reason, a bold idea came to her mind...but she quickly dismissed it.

Song Zhian shook her head slightly. Miss Yu beside her looked more hesitant than she was calm, as if she wanted to ask Ouyang Rong something.

But someone was one step faster than her.

Sha Ergou seemed to take it seriously. He frowned and looked closely at Brother Liu, with whom he had been with day and night. He could not help but mutter:

"Brother Liu, is your sister really Miss Liu Qing?"

The cheerful Lu Jinghong glanced at Sha Ergou and was a little speechless. However, he was too lazy to correct this bumpkin, so he still nodded with a smile:

"That's right, Brother Liu, why don't you take off your hat and show us your Yue tattoo."

Ouyang Rong still had a dull expression, as if he hadn't heard anything, and had no intention of taking off his hat.

"Okay, stop joking with Brother Liu. Brother Liu is probably in a bad mood because of what happened today. Let's not make things worse and go back to rest early."

Song Zhian suddenly suggested, smoothing the situation over.

"Hmm, yes."

Yu Mili nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then turned around and glared at Lu Jinghong:
"Mr. Lu, this joke is not funny at all. The lowly tattoo was invented to insult people. It is not an honorable thing to classify people into different classes. Why do you have to expose people's scars for no reason?
"Brother Liu is willing to tell us so much, he already treats us as friends. It would be impolite to ask more. Didn't you see that Brother Liu usually doesn't mention anything? Mr. Lu, don't make such jokes in the future. I'll say it again, it's not funny."

After waiting for a while, seeing that the young man in the felt hat seemed to be sullen and did not answer, Lu Jinghong lost interest in asking further questions.

Noticing that Miss Song also frowned slightly, he immediately made an excuse, trying to find a way out:

"I just said it casually, don't take it seriously. Look, Brother Liu didn't say anything. He knows that's not what we meant. Miss Yu, there's really no need to make a big deal out of it. I'm not that kind of person, you know that."

Yu Mili snorted twice: "Do you think I know?"

Sha Ergou was a little slow, but he seemed to remember something and immediately said indignantly:
"That's right! The distinction between noble and lowly classes is totally fabricated. Those officials out there are all bad people. They divide people into different classes and treat them like animals. They are really bad to the core.

"My sister said that many people say we are savages, but I think I would rather be a savage in Yunmeng than be a slave outside, kowtowing everywhere and calling people master!"

Ouyang Rong, who remained quiet, turned his head slightly and glanced at the short-haired young man.

Song Zhian finally spoke, her tone somewhat serious:

"Mi Li is right, Master Lu, now that we are in Jianze, no matter where we were born before, there is no distinction between high and low here. In the future, please don't make such remarks or jokes."

"Okay, Miss Song, I was a little bit inappropriate, Brother Liu, I didn't mean to offend you."

Lu Jinghong immediately admitted his mistake and laughed at Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong said nothing.

Seeing the awkward silence, Li Wan helped to ease the situation with a smile:
"Alright, alright, let's go back first. Don't keep standing here. There's no one here. I happened to make some fresh bamboo shoot soup. Let's go and have a taste. Miss Song, Miss Yu, brother Ergou, from now on you are considered as classmates. Take care of each other in Jianze. Oh, and brother Aliang, you should come too. Let's celebrate together that you can stay..."

In fact, Ouyang Rong's bowl was not prepared in advance, but the lady from Luoyang looked normal and spoke in a comprehensive manner.

But Ouyang Rong still didn't move and didn't speak.

Song Zhian looked carefully and found that Brother Liu was standing on the dim beach, with his head turned, looking somewhere behind him.

At this time, there were few people on the beach, only a few young girls walking and chatting after dinner.

She asked doubtfully, looking over there:
"Brother Liu? What are you looking at?"

Ouyang Rong pointed to a simple dock a hundred steps behind him:
"There's a bamboo raft there, with people coming and going. Where are they going? I see it's heading towards the next island."

"Oh, it's the little ferry to the next island. Some girls like to visit and go there to look for people."

Ouyang Rong was thoughtful.

Turning around, he saw Li Wan looking at him with a smile, as if waiting. Ouyang Rong nodded and said "Okay", and then everyone set off and walked towards the bamboo forest tacitly.

Li Wan gave the lantern to Lu Jinghong in advance.

The latter was walking in front, leading the way for Yu Mili and Sha Ergou who were hungry.

Song Zhian had just stopped to ask Ouyang Rong why, so she and Ouyang Rong were half a beat slower and followed behind the team. Li Wan stayed at the end, and only started walking after Ouyang Rong and Song Zhian had moved.

Ouyang Rong said without turning his head:

"Mrs. Li, I have something else to do after dinner, so I may have to leave first."

"Uh-huh."

Li Wan answered casually, perfunctorily and absent-mindedly. She remembered something and looked back in the direction where Chen Jiaxin had left.

At this moment, her face froze, as if she had discovered something unusual, and she looked carefully in the direction behind her.

The people walking in front heard Li Wan's surprised and confused voice coming from behind:

"Wait a minute, girl. May I ask who you are?"

"Brother!"

At the same time, a soft and melodious voice of a strange girl sounded from behind, her tone full of surprise and attachment.

Song Zhian, Lu Jinghong and Yu Mili looked back in confusion.

The next moment, they saw a shocking scene that they would never forget:
A young girl with a sword on her back, wearing a snow-white Wu dress that looked particularly large and loose, ran towards him, and like a jade swallow, she suddenly dived into the arms of Brother Liu who had stopped.

The five people suddenly discovered that the sword-carrying girl had a faint tattoo on her forehead...

It's a Yue character.
