i have a sword fairy

Just like a late summer night, when the bright moon falls into the water and is blown by the smoky wind, the round arc melts a bit. It looked lonely and cold at first, but now it is hazy and gentle.

This is Concubine Zhao Ling wearing light makeup.

If the students of the mansion remember correctly, since the beginning of the year when the concubine Ling and her younger sister returned to the Taiqing mansion, they have always been without makeup, and it was the first time in more than half a year that such light makeup appeared today.

And that's not all, Concubine Zhao Ling didn't wear plain white clothes anymore, and she was wearing a moon-white chest-length Ruijinru skirt.

The eyes of some caring people in the mansion gradually widened. This should be unprecedented since Concubine Zhao Ling entered the mansion. I have never seen her wearing such feminine clothes before.

Along the Nuanxi River, the air on Yaji slowly fell silent.

Concubine Zhao Ling walked towards Yaji in lotus steps. Her attire surprised everyone at the gathering even more than her sudden arrival today.

Many people opened their mouths slightly, and some men even showed shock in their eyes.

And some of them frowned suddenly, and had to think again of the rumors that have been circulating in a small area in the mansion recently and gradually spread, about Concubine Zhao Ling's husband... They shook their heads lightly, a little unbelievable... Could it be true? ?

Concubine Zhao Ling's arrival was like blowing a pool of spring water, everyone's reactions were different.

Liu Kongyi, who had been staring at the stream in a daze in boredom, no longer had the same tasteless look just now, but looked at Concubine Zhao Ling without blinking her eyes without knowing when.

After seeing her makeup, Liu Kongyi's eyes gradually narrowed, and the light flickered.

The strange dragon carp that was silently wagging its tail in the air stopped beside her, motionless.

not far away.

Under the bamboo grove, on one side of the chessboard, the man who had been looking down at the book before, suddenly looked up the second Zhao Lingfei appeared in sight.

As soon as he stopped moving his hand, but he didn't see how it moved, the two white pieces that had been dancing between his fingers for a whole morning had disappeared.

At the same second, there was a crisp and pleasant sound of jade stones colliding in the chess box.

Ji Ganyi beside the chessboard had already straightened up, staring at Concubine Zhao Ling who was walking slowly, his pupils shrank slightly.

Seeing his young master's reaction, Yunzi on the other side of the chessboard remained calm.

Chapter 183 Children are only angry

See Qingjun suddenly appear.

Zhao Rong slightly widened his eyes.

Just a second ago, he was secretly thinking about her, because the fun of the crowd at the gathering just now, especially the silver bells of those women's laughter, reminded Zhao Rong of his childhood with Qingjun climbing trees and fishing in the back mountain, The days of running around all over the mountains.

Those female students were washing their feet in Nuanxi, and Zhao Rong remembered that he had washed their feet with Qingjun before, also in a clear mountain stream, when her white and tender feet were in his palm... …

But these thoughts just flashed by, just like an old book, the title page was gently turned by the noon wind, and now she is gradually walking towards Zhao Rong on the title page, wearing the clothes she loved when she was a child. High waist skirt.

Zhao Rong's eyes widened at first, then he stared at her, his brows gathered together, but after a while they slowly relaxed, the corners of his mouth raised, but when he noticed that almost all the eyes of other men on Yaji were staring at her without blinking. After Qing Jun, Zhao Rong blinked twice, and his expression became a little unhappy.

Because Zhao Rong suddenly thought of the reason why Qingjun came suddenly. I remember that in the letter sent to Nanci Jingshe in the morning, he seemed to mention it casually, saying that he would accompany his brother to a literary meeting in the morning, and the letter at noon Maybe later.

So... Qing Jun is here?

After several days of twists and turns, finally no longer angry with that sneaky kiss?

Besides, women are supposed to be pleasing to themselves, so this dress is also for the husband to see...

However, Zhao Rong is still a little itchy, and feels a little cheap. These guys on the Yaji, although Qing Jun is very conservative even in a chest-length skirt, and the chain bones are not exposed. Men's women don't need that kind of naked kitsch at all...

At this moment, Li Jinshu who was making tea at the side happened to see Zhao Rong's wonderful and complex expression changes, and he just coughed lightly to withdraw his gaze attracted by Qing Jun.

Li Jinshu looked at Zhao Rong, who had a strange expression, and the other juniors who couldn't help but look at him. He hesitated for a while before speaking, but a certain voice suddenly sounded.

With a deep voice, "See no evil!"

All the academicians around shook their bodies, quickly bowed or turned their heads, and stopped looking at Concubine Zhao Ling, but in the next second, they realized, huh?This is not the voice of the big brother...

Li Jinshu looked at Zhao Rong speechlessly. He still stared at Concubine Zhao Ling intently. The words just now came out of Zhao Rong's mouth. He told his seniors not to look, but he still had a serious expression on his face...

Zhao Rong felt that what he said was right, and he was justified. Why can't he look at his wife? It's very in line with the etiquette, okay? But you should restrain me a little bit, don't look at injustice, and quickly move your eyes away from Qingjun. Dress light makeup, she is not dressed up for you at all...

Concubine Zhao Ling's face was still calm as usual at this moment when the crowd looked at her fiercely. However, she felt a little shy in her heart, not because of the gazes of those men and women, but because she secretly saw the figure in the outermost corner of the crowd approaching in front of her.

Brother Rong is still wearing a green skirt from an academy student, standing behind his senior brothers, oh, idiot, without blinking... I haven't worn this dress for a long time, and I don't know if it looks good... If you dare to call it ugly , Just... I will never talk to you... I will bite you again.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhao Ling bit her lower lip lightly, seeing Zhao Rong's stunned reaction, her heart seemed to have been smeared with honey, it was sweet, but suddenly, Concubine Zhao Ling was a little annoyed again, and she agreed to ignore him In the middle of the day, why didn't it take long before he came to see Brother Rong again in a foolish way.

The last time she heard from Ye Lanzhi that Zhao Rong's senior brother would hold an art fair with Ye Ruoxi, she secretly paid attention to it. At the end of Zhao Rong's letter received this morning, he happened to briefly mention this matter , At that time, she was holding the letter, leaning on the railing, tilting her head in a daze, she hadn't played with him for a long time... So Zhao Lingfei changed her way to find an excuse, and couldn't bear to come to Nuanxi with Ye Lanzhi It's Yaji...

Concubine Zhao Ling remembered her reason again.

Well, I was planning to come to Yaji to relax, what a coincidence, you are here?But I don’t know how to talk to you. I agreed to ignore you for half a decade, and half of the time has just passed. Well, why is it only half over, only half over, is it a miscalculation... ok Well, that's right, it's an extra day for Brother Rong, so...you, don't come close.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhao Ling quietly glanced at Zhao Rong, her annoyance gradually disappeared, her heart became happy again, and her steps became lighter.

Ye Ruoxi stepped forward to greet Concubine Zhao Ling and Ye Lanzhi, and stopped in front of her.

She didn't speak immediately, but glanced at her cousin's smiling face, then tilted her head, and looked up and down carefully at Concubine Zhao Ling. She didn't speak for a while.

Ye Ruoxi thought for a while, and tentatively asked: "Junior Sister Lingfei?"

It seems that he is not sure about the living person in front of him, and he is worried that he has identified the wrong person, even if the probability of this is less than one in a thousand...

Concubine Zhao Ling bowed her head slightly, staring at the double ear knot tied on her chest, and said softly, "Senior sister, don't make trouble."

At this time, Ye Lanzhi smiled and explained to the people around him: "I thought that Senior Concubine Ling would not come, but when I went out this morning, I happened to pass by Qinglianxuan, so I went in and asked a lot, but I didn't expect Senior Sister to agree. Come to participate in the Gathering together, no, I successfully abducted the senior sister to you."

Ye Lanzhi said with a smile, then looked around Yaji, her eyes paused somewhere, and then she couldn't help but look at Senior Sister Lingfei beside her.

There is one "little thing" that Ye Lanzhi didn't mention, that is, the reason why she came so late, besides the fact that the Gathering was involved in something very involved, she had to dress up and prepare well before going out, but also because Ye Lanzhi Lan Zhi waited for Concubine Zhao Ling outside Qinglianxuan for a long time, only to find that her senior sister Ling Concubine was also dressing up before going out, just like her.

When they were on the road, Ye Lanzhi was still a little confused, but when he saw Zhao Rong behind the crowd, he suddenly realized.

I heard that Senior Sister Lingfei and that Zhao Ziyu are also childhood sweethearts, and they are... somewhat similar to me...

Ye Lanzhi thought of something, and sighed softly in her heart.

Ye Ruoxi cleared her throat, nodded and said: "My cousin is still the best."

She turned her head and teased Concubine Zhao Ling:

"Junior Sister, rare guest, before leaving the mansion, Senior Sister Ning Ying entrusted us juniors and younger sisters to take you to more literary meetings, but we didn't invite you several times. I didn't expect you to come today when Senior Sister and I held a gathering, um, Seeing you later, I can give Senior Sister Ning Ying an explanation. Good Junior Sister, I am very kind to Senior Sister, I did not hurt you for nothing..."

Afterwards, the women laughed and said a few more words, and all the people returned to the banquet.

The red carp girls have already prepared the table for the meeting, fine wine and snacks and other elegant things.

Nuanxi Yaji officially started.

Zhao Rong has been paying attention to Concubine Zhao Ling. Seeing that she is surrounded by a crowd surrounded by female students, it is inconvenient for him to go up to her and call her.

Zhao Rong scratched his nose, and became a little uncertain about his previous guess, because Qingjun didn't seem to have looked at him since he first came here, did he not notice him?

Then I go say hello?

Or, did Qing Jun actually see it, but he was still angry?

Zhao Rong shook his head lightly and sighed.

Why are you still acting like a little girl, didn't you just couldn't resist kissing you, you can't bear this little loss?

At worst, I will stand still and let you kiss.

Children are only angry, adults are double repayment.

Zhao Rong thought secretly.

Chapter 184 Matching Men and Women

In the open space on the mountainside where Yaji is located, a stream flows zigzagging, in the shape of protruding lines of "ji".

Now both sides of the Nuanxi River have been filled with low desks, and there are only two kneeling mats next to each desk.

There were crisp applause, and Yaji gradually became quiet.

Ye Ruoxi stopped moving, and clasped her hands together, "Our Nuanxi Gathering today is a little different from the previous ones. In order to prevent you from playing your own way, men gather together and women gather together, and it won't be lively. The Gathering will adopt male and female It will be held in the form of two people sitting together on a desk."

She felt curious eyes, smiles and Xi around her.

"Since you are participating in the Gathering organized by me, you have to listen to me..."

Ye Ruoxi smiled, her words stopped, she looked around and said:

"I know that many of you guys don't have an appointment or acquaintance with a female partner, it's okay, we're going to mess it up, and we don't care about the seniority of the brothers and sisters for the time being, since they are here, they are all elegant...

Well, my rules are very simple. After the meeting, the seniors and juniors first choose a table to sit down, and then all the other men draw lots to decide the order, and line up in order. Starting from the first man, I will choose for him. A female partner here, if there is no special reason, neither of you can refuse... Of course, if you already have an appointment with a female partner who is familiar with each other, you also have the right to choose, so as not to break up the couple.

So every man can decide to give up the choice I gave him before I choose a female companion for him, and go to the banquet to choose a desk by himself, and the other woman on the desk also has the right to decide whether to let him sit or not .

Therefore, this is only applicable to couples who have already been confirmed. You men, don't try to use this to cheat and offend your beautiful woman. You'd better listen to my arrangement obediently. "

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a noisy discussion in the Gathering, whispering to each other, with mixed reactions, but most of the men smiled helplessly, and many people found it quite novel.

Ye Ruoxi stretched out her index finger and tapped her chin, then glanced around again.

"Oh, by the way, I counted the number of men and women. It seems that the number of men and women is not evenly divided. There are more men, but it's okay. The remaining men can sit with a few red carp girls. Let me tell you, don't underestimate them. The red carp girls in Zhuyuan, many of them are multi-talented, hehe, you scholars in the academy really don’t believe it, some red carp girls may be better than you..."

The scholars of the academy all smiled and greeted, knowing that it was a joke, and the other party was a beautiful woman, so no one cared about it.

Zhao Rong raised his brows, a little strange about the rules of Miss Ye. After thinking about it, he still didn't think it was a matter of course. He looked around, and saw that no one objected to it, and almost all acquiesced or nodded. He didn't think about it anymore, anyway, this rule didn't affect him to find Qingjun.

After a while, the female students from Xiaoyao and Taiyi and Erfu were seated one after another.

A woman sat behind each table on both sides of Nuanxi, and there was also a seat vacant.

The men all went to the side to draw lots.

Zhao Rong followed behind the seniors, and in line with the principle of being courteous to scholars, he and the seniors waited for those prefects to catch them before going forward to catch them.

During this period, his gaze kept on concubine Zhao Ling who was in the distance.

Like the other women, she was quietly kneeling behind the table, and the kneeling pad beside her was empty, waiting for a man.

But no matter how clear Zhao Rong's eyes were, how long she had been looking at, Concubine Zhao Ling still sat there without looking sideways, but at a certain moment, she moved, she turned her head, but she didn't look at Zhao Rong.

Concubine Zhao Ling lowered her eyes, reached out to pick up the objects on the table, began to add incense with her hands, and lit the incense burner. The sleeves of her skirt were wide and long, which was a little in the way, and she was gently rolled up, revealing two slender arms. Under the sun, it was a bit crystal-clear and dazzling, and it attracted the attention of many men in an instant.

Concubine Zhao Ling still kept her eyes on the work she was doing. She suddenly bent her waist, leaned lightly, washed her hands in the clear stream in front of the table, washed the tea set, warmed the water from the stream to make tea, and a plain hand Gently place a purple sand teacup that has been carefully rubbed and cleaned in a place where no one is around.

This set of movements is elegant, calm and methodical.

Zhao Rong was a little surprised when he saw the scene of "red sleeves add fragrance".

Not far away, Ji Ganyi beside the chessboard also noticed this scene, or in other words, since the arrival of Concubine Zhao Ling, his attention has never left this woman who he regards as a person who can walk in the same way.

At this time, the chessboard has already been arranged by Yunzi, but Ji Ganyi has no intention of making another move to open the game.

At a certain moment, he suddenly said: "Her mortal son-in-law is really here?"

Yunzi, who had been silent all this time, spoke softly.

"Yes, my lord, that man disappeared for a while after the incident in Youshan. Not long ago, in the Four Seasons Hall of Fuyao Mansion, he had an intimate act with Concubine Zhao Ling, which was seen by many students in the mansion. According to inquiries, he is now a student of the academy. , Not long ago, I came to the Taiqing Mansion with a gentleman surnamed Yan from the academy."

Ji Gan frowned slightly, "So, it's this...what's it called? It's also Zhao, right? He was the one who caused Concubine Zhao Ling's realm to stagnate before, and now, he came to pester her again?"

Yunzi glanced at his expression and nodded, "It seems yes, but... Concubine Zhao Ling's attitude is very strange, and she is inseparable from him. What happened in the Four Seasons Hall a few days ago, I heard from the Fusheng present that the two It's ambiguous, but these days, Concubine Zhao Ling hasn't seen him again..."

As soon as Ji Gan heard this, he closed the book on his lap, and interrupted with a light smile:

"I have said long ago that Concubine Zhao Ling is not that kind of ignorant woman. She will know how to choose between the supreme avenue and the worldly love, especially for sword cultivators. The love between men and women will only tarnish the purity of Jianxin. After getting married and coming back, the damaged sword heart is a lesson, no fool would fall into the same pit twice."

When Yunzi heard the words, he hesitated to speak.

Ji Gan looked at Concubine Zhao Ling who was making tea by the stream, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"She is the same kind of person as I am. She will know that the road is long and the peak is high and dangerous. What is really needed, apart from respectable and difficult opponents, is a companion who encourages people along the road. Concubine Zhao Ling will understand. As for those The mundane things and ants at the bottom of the mountain are just like this mortal son-in-law who doesn't know the so-called mundane son-in-law, just passing by."

He admired the woman who had been oppressing him since he entered the mansion, and said without turning his head: "Yunzi, how is Jindan's preparation?"

Yunzi followed Ji Ganyi's gaze, and stared at Concubine Zhao Ling in the distance together, there were waves in her calm eyes, a little envious... This woman can be regarded as a fellow by the young master.

"I'm almost ready, I will go to retreat tomorrow, Cheng Dan should be fine, but..."

Ji Gan turned his head, "The family didn't give you that set of golden elixir exercises? Are you going to use the so-so set of golden elixir exercises provided by the Taiqing mansion?"

"Young master, that set of skills... can only be cultivated by the direct lineage. I have no qualifications. With the skills in the mansion, it is already very good to have the opportunity to forge a fourth-rank pill. Yunzi dare not ask for a third-rank."

Ji Gan squinted, "A group of pedantic old things..."

Yunzi closed his eyes, not daring to answer.

Ji Ganyi was silent for a while, "I'll try to help you again."
