Bone

It rained a lot at night, and the rain hit the window, disrupting the night dream.Tan Fengyue woke up until daylight, when she heard the ghost beside her get up first, she also sat up, feeling sleepy and pressing her forehead.

With him by his side, Qin Nianjiu has always slept soundly. He loosened his shoulders and neck full of energy, pulled off a piece of clothing and put it on, made a pot of hot tea, and turned around to find that Tan Fengyue was still sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes. He leaned over with some amusement, pinched his cheek lightly, "Why, the ancestor fell asleep?"

"..." Tan Fengyue stretched out her hand to pull him closer, and put her forehead in his arms, her voice was soft and soft with tiredness, "...didn't sleep well..."

The chaotic dreams were intercepted and shattered by the sound of rain all night, so that when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything clearly, leaving my mind full of exhaustion.

"...Woke up and said less than ten times," he rubbed his forehead lightly, complaining in a low voice, "...Maybe I had a nightmare all night."

"It must have been some good dreams." Qin Nianjiu chuckled sullenly and coaxed him, "It is said in the books that good dreams are easy to wake up, and easy to wake up is a good dream."

He said again: "Anyway, the prince hasn't sent back the news, and there is nothing to do in this garden. Why don't you sleep for a while and catch up on returning to the cage."

The matter is very important, Tan Fengyue feels that the prince Ji Zhuoran will not procrastinate for too long, maybe he will come in the next moment and I don't know, but he still followed him and said "um", and then pulled the clothes on his body. In the outer robe, he raised his lips and said with a slight smile: "Why don't you be together?"

As soon as the words fell, the smile on his lips froze, and it was unavoidable to think of the real Jiu Ling Tianzun.

——The man in white whose sect was destroyed...

Stopping his wandering thoughts in time, he pursed his lips slightly, sighing inwardly, it was really disturbing.

It's not that I care about anything, the front is already a matter of the past, I can't remember the pictures, and I seem to be watching other people's affairs, but... the white-clothed "Qin Nianjiu" sect has been wiped out, and he doesn't look like a blessed person at all. He didn't want the ghost beside him to be infected with this bad smell.

... But thinking about it again, this ghost has already borrowed the three-character name "Qin Nianjiu", and I can't help but feel even more worried.

Qin Nianjiu didn't know what was going on in his mind, and wanted to tease him first, "How old is he, I still need someone else to sleep with me", when he saw his worried face, he panicked, thinking it was his lack of sleep and having a headache, hurriedly Lying on his side, he returned to his side, "Okay, okay, go to sleep, go to sleep!"

He also put his hands on him and patted him regularly.

...This is, did you coax yourself like a child?Tan Fengyue couldn't help laughing after being photographed by him, she stretched out her hand to embrace him, hugged him into her arms, and gently closed her eyes.

——Forget it, I said that "the blessings of the gods are shared, and the ghosts are the same".

I don't know if it will be a good dream or a nightmare to find it this time. There is still the sound of rain outside the house.

……

Near noon, the rain breaks, and the sky and the earth are clear.

Just as Tan Fengyue thought, Ji Zhuoran didn't procrastinate for too long, he came to the garden just after the time passed, and together with Fu Duanshui led Tan and Qin to a plainly decorated carriage.

The wheels rolled and the ride was smooth.The two little leaves were still working hard in the study to sort out the files, so there were only four of them in the carriage.

——In addition, there is Sanjiu who hides in the talisman and dare not show up because there are people from the sect nearby.

Although he had made up for two hours of dreamless and sound sleep, his energy for talking about Fengyue was still a bit weak, even the movement of shaking the silver fan was a little lazy, Qin Nianjiu asked the prince eagerly: "Is this going to enter the palace? "

Ji Zhuoran always likes to explain the details to others after everything is arranged properly, and shook his head with a smile, "It's hard to say how many eyes and ears the national teacher has in the palace, I'm afraid it's a bit rash to enter the palace at this time."

...Then we will have to wait until the year of the monkey to see the national teacher, and see if he is that Xu Yanqing?With Fu Duanshui by his side, Qin Nianjiu couldn't express his impatience, so he could only say: "...Then shall we go now?"

Ji Zhuoran didn't whet his appetite, and said frankly: "Yesterday, I heard that the surname of this immortal family was Tan, and there happened to be an old official in the court who was also surnamed Tan, and his name was Angzhi. His wife and my concubine were companions when they were young. We have frequent contacts. In the name of distant relatives and disciples, I would like to invite the two of you to temporarily stay in the Tan mansion for a few days, and after I have taken care of the palace, I will enter the palace with Tan Taifu and others for a banquet."

People from the Zongmen and people from the imperial court have nothing to do with each other. Fu Duanshui only said earlier that he would invite two capable people to come to help. The family has a generous temperament, and there was a cultivator in the ancestors, so there is no quarrel with the Zongmen, and the two immortal families can rest assured."

... This is said, as if the two of them are so arrogant.Tan Fengyue glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

Qin Nianjiu, however, directly skipped a long section of his baba narration, and only grasped the key point and asked: "Entering the palace for a banquet? What kind of banquet?"

Hearing him ask this, Fu Duanshui frowned almost inaudibly, turned his head away, and Ji Zhuoran also smiled wryly, "Qin Xian's family didn't know something. Two years ago, the father was seriously ill, and he ordered that every other day All the ministers were invited to a banquet, which was said to be for the joy, and the emperor's father recovered from his illness, and it was still the same, and it gradually became a rule-the national teacher usually lives in seclusion, and he does not have to go to court during the day, only at the palace banquet. Only then will he show up for a moment."

Since it's a night banquet in the palace, there must be wine and meat, and you can't drink or eat... Qin Nianjiu looked at the slightly displeased expression on Fu Duanshui's face, and said clearly: "So Fu Xianyou entered the palace with His Highness earlier ,Too……"

Ji Zhuoran nodded, "Yes. I went to the palace banquet together in the name of my palace's guests. However, the national teacher was busy praying for rain for Beiyuan, so he didn't show up."

... How close is the prince and Fu Duanshui, that this decent disciple is willing to accompany him to an extravagant banquet...Qin Nianjiu was full of curiosity, and looked at Ji Zhuoran secretly and probingly. He said casually: "I haven't even asked, how did the two of you get to know each other?"

The wheels rolled over a hidden ridge on the ground, and the carriage jolted slightly.Ji Zhuoran helped Fu Duanshui's shoulder with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's fate. I was afraid of snakes since I was a child. When I was young, I accompanied my mother and concubine to worship Buddha on the mountain. I was accidentally startled by a python jumping out of the forest. He stumbled and fell off the cliff, just so-" He smiled and glanced at Fu Duanshui, who looked away indifferently, "He was repairing under the cliff, and saved Bengong, so we met."

……oh?Tan Fengyue slightly raised her eyebrows, thinking that it was really destined.

Such a coincidence, Qin Nianjiu thought he was listening to the story, and was about to ask more, when the carriage stopped abruptly.

Ji Zhuoran raised the curtain and took a look outside, "Tanfu is here."

Business matters.Qin Nianjiu had no choice but to silence his voice, watching Fu Duanshui help Ji Zhuoran off the carriage.

Ji Zhuoran put his hands on Fu Duanshui's shoulders, got out of the carriage steadily, then turned his head and said to the two of them: "I only told the Tan family that something strange happened in the palace, and I need to ask the Xian family to come and help."

The implication is that he did not tell the truth to Tan's family members, please keep them secret.

She still doesn't like his behavior style of not explaining everything clearly to humanity, Tan Fengyue glanced at him indifferently, still lazy to say anything, just nodded with Qin Nianjiu.

The Tan family is worthy of being a rich family, with a grand gate, a wide courtyard, and Zhulou Cuige.After entering the mansion through the side door, Fang took a few steps, and saw three richly dressed people standing in the courtyard, behind them stood a group of servants with their heads bowed, welcoming the prince together.

Ji Zhuoran is not used to being pretentious, when he saw that they were about to kneel down and salute, he quickly walked forward and helped the old man with silver hair on his temples, sunken lips, and a golden cane in his hand, He also said to the rest of the people: "Everyone, please forgive me. Please come here and give the old lady a seat."

"Thank you, Prince!" Tan Angzhi hastily helped his grandmother over, helped her to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard, and named three servants who were still kneeling on the ground, and called them After serving the grandmother, he walked back and bowed his head respectfully, waiting for the prince's instructions.

I think they probably still have a lot of formalities to go through, and they can't get to the business for a while, Tan Qin and the two lingered behind the prince and Fu Duanshui, looking at the decorations in the mansion from the corner of their eyes, listening to Ji Zhuoran and Tan's family After exchanging polite greetings, they found out the names and identities of everyone in a few words.

Grand Tutor Tan Angzhi, his wife Wen Mingze, and the couple have four sons. They have either studied abroad, become officials, or become a family business. They have not yet returned to the imperial capital.

...It's really strange, I thought that this kind of big family would have at least four or five concubines, and they would give birth to seventeen or eight children...Qin Nianjiu quietly looked at the middle-aged couple, and couldn't believe it. It is rare to see the deep affection in their eyes, and it is not difficult to see their love and harmony when looking at their supporting actions.

From this point of view, what the prince said about the Tan family's generosity must have been true.

Tan Fengyue was still a little sleepy, and she was a little tired from standing still, she didn't think about anything else, she just half-drawn and looked at the blue tiles on the eaves of Tan's mansion in a trance.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for too long, after Ji Zhuoran briefly chatted with Tan's family, he nodded slightly, and said to Tan Angzhi: "I still have to visit the Eighth Emperor Brother today, so I won't bother you much. Tai Tuo." As he spoke, he staggered slightly, and called Tan Fengyue and Qin Nianjiu who were behind him to the front of the crowd, "These two are—"

Tan Angzhi had already figured it out in his mind, so he hurriedly said: "This is the two fairy families mentioned by His Highness, right? Very good, they are indeed very talented."

Before the two of Tan Qin spoke to each other, Ji Zhuoran coughed lightly, and Tan Angzhi immediately understood, and changed his respectful face, stepped forward to hold the hands of the two of them affectionately, and warmly greeted: "Talk about cousin! Long time no see! How are you doing?"

Qin Nianjiu: "..."

Tan Fengyue: "..."

The shadow beside her still suppressed her laughter, and Tan Fengyue glanced at the prince speechlessly, before finally responding kindly, "Biao Uncle Xie for asking, everything is fine."

After distinguishing the two through this conversation, Tan Angzhi looked at Qin Nianjiu again, and said with a gratified smile: "This is the guest recruited by my cousin? Very good, he is indeed a good-looking talent."

"..." Feeling that talking about family members is really interesting, it is completely different from the cold-hearted patriarch beside him with the same surname Tan, Qin Nianjiu suppressed a sullen smile, "...I have seen Grand Tutor Tan."

Seeing that everything was well arranged, Ji Zhuoran also laughed, and said goodbye to everyone with Fu Duanshui.

As soon as the prince left, the kneeling servants finally stood up. Tan Angzhi rubbed his face in relief, went to help his grandmother up in three steps at a time, and turned to ask Tan Qin Er with a smile. Person: "The vacant wing room hasn't been taken care of yet, why don't you two follow me into the hall first?"

Mrs. Tan saw that the two of them looked young, and seemed to be about the same age as her four children who had not returned home, so she unconsciously warmed up her tone, and said in a warm and concerned voice: "It rained just once at night, and it was a little cold. It's also wet and slippery, the two of you are wearing such thin clothes, I'm afraid you're going to catch cold, so don't stay in the courtyard for too long."

After finishing speaking, he called his servants to make some ginger tea to warm up.

Tan and Qin had never been so sincerely cared for by the elders, they couldn't help being flattered, even Tan Fengyue put away his usual cold face, Qin Nianjiu was a little bit at a loss, and responded repeatedly.

During the conversation between the three, Tan Angzhi walked over with his grandmother in his arms. Seeing that they looked a little cautious, he couldn't help laughing twice, "You two don't need to be restrained, just treat it as if you are at home."

...He is a ghost with amnesia, where is his "home" at all.But what the other party said was sincere, Qin Nianjiu had no choice but to say hello again.

As soon as the words fell, the hand was suddenly grabbed by the old lady who was approaching.

The old lady is very old, her body is still strong and her complexion is ruddy, but she has chicken skin and gray hair, and her eyes are cloudy, showing her old appearance.She reluctantly took a pair of muddy eyes to look at Tan Fengyue, and then at Qin Nianjiu, as if she was thinking hard about something, then she clung to his hand and murmured, "... Xixi, Xixi—"

Xixi?pity?pity?Qin Nianjiu looked at her in confusion, and didn't dare to withdraw his hand. Hearing Tan Angzhi coughed in embarrassment, he explained embarrassingly: "Grandmother lived to be eighty-eight years old, she no longer remembers things, and people are often confused... 'Xixi' is her petite nickname when she was not married—oh, it's the word 'xi' from when she was a teenager—"

Ordinary life is short, and 88 is considered a rare longevity. Qin Nianjiu sighed that this family is really blessed, nodded understandingly, and saw the old lady patted his hand lightly, muttering with pursed mouth: "... Fragrance, cherish the fragrance—”

"...Grandmother!" Tan Angzhi's expression was a bit dumbfounded, but he was not impatient, and said to her in a nice voice like a coaxing child: "I will go to the ancestral hall to offer incense at Xushi, and it's not even noon yet..."

The old lady didn't listen to his persuasion at all, but patted Qin Nianjiu's hand stubbornly, as if unwilling to let him go, repeated: "Cherish the incense—"

"This..." Qin Nianjiu was held by her, and he looked at Tan Ang, who was also in trouble, with a bit of embarrassment, "How about... just follow what the old lady said, and go to make an offering first?"

In normal times, talking about Fengyue would definitely make fun of him for being troublesome, but for some reason today, he seemed to have no ill feeling towards this family, and for the first time, he even offered a few words of help, "You and I have to harass the family for a few more days. On this day, first pay homage to the ancestors of your mansion, and it would be good to show some courtesy."

Originally, I was worried that my grandmother's reckless words and deeds would displease the two immortals, but I didn't expect them to be so easy-going and easy-going, so I couldn't help but feel a little fond of these two, nodded and said: "That's okay Alright, then please come with me, both of you."
