The legend of the ancestor of magic Dao, the return of cloud gathering and scattering

After comforting Yun'er, I returned to the library, but I saw Master sitting in front of my desk waiting for me. He was flipping through the calligraphy and painting books on my desk, and turned his head to look at me when he heard the sound.I was nervous for no reason, and called out: "Master..."

The master looked into my eyes and said: "I heard from my disciple that you are useless for brunch today, so come and have a look." I didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so I murmured: "I..."

Master stared at me with burning eyes for a while, then asked sharply: "Go to see Miss Hong?"

I lowered my head guiltily, and stammered: "Uh... Miss Hong has a cold and fever... Young Master Jiang Wei Gongzi has returned to Yunmeng... I'm afraid no one will take care of her... I just went to visit her."

Master was still staring at me, without blinking his eyes as if he wanted to see through me. He snorted softly and said, "Only this? No other?" I was at a loss for words and fell silent.

The master let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Oh! Qiren, what do you want to say about you as a teacher!" He stroked his beard and continued: "I have arranged a marriage for you, and the woman is from the Lanling Jin family. The eldest lady of the second bedroom is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and will be hired in a few days."

"Master!" I exclaimed, "I don't know Miss Jin, I like Yun'er."

"Qiren, you don't have the right to be willful. You shoulder the future of the entire Lan family. Your elder brother ruined his own future. Don't follow in his footsteps. If you give up your responsibility again, who will the Lan family hand over to in the future?" The master was aggressive and scolded me loudly.

"This does not conflict with me marrying Yun'er, Yun'er will shoulder the responsibilities of the Lan family with me!" I argued with reason, and tears rolled down my eyes.

Seeing me, who was always calm and sensible, looking sad and excited, Master might have been frightened, and asked me softly, "Since Miss Hong is so good, why does Mrs. Yunmeng's old lady still want Young Master Jiang to marry Miss Yu?"

I am at a loss for words: "This..."

The master sighed again and began to reason with a sincere heart: "Qiren, you are young after all, and you don't understand the power of it. No matter how good Miss Hong is, there will never be a young master of a big family who is married, because she is an orphan, and the master You are a person who hides from the world, and you don't have the power of your natal family to help your husband's family. If your elder brother did not destroy his future but married a daughter of a big family, then as the second wife, you can marry Miss Hong, but now you can't. Your elder brother retreats you to perform the duties of the suzerain of the Gusu Lan clan, and family responsibilities cannot allow you to be as willful as your elder brother, and you have no right to be selfish."

Master persuaded me earnestly, and my heart sank little by little.Back then when my elder brother insisted on marrying his master-killing enemy, the master knelt down in the ancestral hall for a whole night in their bridal chamber, wept bitterly and confessed to the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, and vowed to help me revitalize the Lan family. I also swear to my ancestors that I will carry the heavy responsibility of the family.But now...

Master approached me, patted my shoulder and said: "Qiren, I will not force you as a teacher, you make your own decision, you can only choose one of Miss Hong and Mrs Lan, if you choose Miss Hong, you must leave Lan family, you can't return to Lan family for the rest of your life, if you choose Lan family, you must break this friendship with Miss Hong, and don't mislead others or yourself."

Master handed me the painting in his hand, and I saw that it was Yun'er's self-portrait painted by me. Under the magnolia tree in full bloom, Yun'er smiled coquettishly.I remember that day, she ran under the tree, saw no one around, and yelled sweetly to me: "Brother Lan, look at me~~" I turned my head and saw under the white magnolia tree, Yun'er in red is holding a white magnolia flower, smiling sweetly, with picturesque eyebrows, dark eyes with sparkling lights, small pear dimples looming, and sweet and soft voice, it's so pretty, I'm holding my breath Breathing, the whole person was stunned, and the sweet voice went straight to the heart and made people intoxicated.Later, I put that moment into the painting, and when I couldn't see Yun'er, I just stared at the portrait.

"Hey...you can do it yourself!" Master patted my shoulder again and left Zangshu Pavilion.

I was so upset that I tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep. Seeing that the sky was about to turn gray, I simply got up and sat down at the desk to read, but I couldn't read a word.Sitting under the window waiting for Yun'er, until the end of the day, no Yun'er passed by, presumably Yun'er is not well yet.After hastily picking up a few bites of breakfast brought by his disciples, he left the Library Pavilion, walked aimlessly all the way, and unknowingly came to Longdan Xiaozhu, his elder brother's residence, and knocked on the door after thinking for a moment.

"Qi Ren!" My elder brother opened the door to see me, and I was slightly taken aback, "Do you have something to do with me?"

I looked at my elder brother helplessly and said, "Elder brother, I have some doubts, can I talk to you?"

"Please come in." Elder brother let me in, and we sat on the futon in front of the short table, I asked straight to the point: "Elder brother, why did you marry Huan'er's mother back then, she was your master and enemy! "

The elder brother was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment and said, "Qi Ren... this question should be asked. I think I asked myself for a long time back then, but there was no answer and no precedent to refer to. I finally decided to be self-willed."

"Has the elder brother ever regretted it?" I asked.

The elder brother sighed and said: "Yes, I regret it. I regret why I didn't resolve the hatred before she killed Master and let her give up killing. I regret that I didn't protect Master and let Master give up resistance because he was worried about me so that I would not embarrass me. , I regret that as the eldest son of Lan, I did not fulfill my responsibility as the young master and left everything to you."

"Then you don't regret marrying her?" I continued to ask.

The elder brother looked at me with firm eyes and said: "Never! From the first time I saw her, I was sure that she was the only person I would marry in this life. I just regret that I didn't stop the tragedy in time. If I didn't So head-to-head intensified Master's prejudice against her, and forced her to drive her away to make her lose her mind. I could have resolved all of this. Master could not die, and she would not hate me. The responsibility of the family."

"Brother..." I shook his hand, not knowing what to say to comfort him.

The elder brother patted my backhand, and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm fine as I am now, to atone for my mistake. She is grounded here, and no one will kill her for revenge. When Huan'er gets older, we will Just take him back and hand him over to your upbringing. Huan'er has you, and Lan's has you, so I feel relieved. It's just because of my selfishness that you have to shoulder this heavy responsibility, and I feel ashamed for my brother."

I sighed and asked what love is in the world, and taught that life and death go hand in hand!My elder brother became famous at a young age, he is so wise and outstanding, but it is also difficult for a hero to be a beauty, let alone me.

After getting out of his elder brother's place, he checked that it was lunch time, then went to the kitchen to get Yun'er's lunch for her, and by the way, see how Yun'er was doing.

"Brother Lan, bring me lunch yourself." Yun'er was very happy to see me, and seemed to be in good spirits.I touched her forehead with my hand, and her body temperature was normal.

"Yun'er, you slept well last night, did you take your medicine on time today?"

"Second Brother Lan, I slept well and took my medicine on time. How are you? Seeing that you are depressed, did you not sleep well?"

"Nothing. It seems that you have recovered, and you can return to the Orchid Chamber to attend school tomorrow."

"Yes, I can go back to study tomorrow. By the way, Brother Wei sent me a message. When Brother Jiang settles down there, he will come back and accompany me to study." Yun'er has recovered and regained his energy. , he returned to his original lively and cute appearance, and chatted with me about the news from Yunmeng.

I hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "Has your elder brother Wei always been nice to you?" I thought of the way Mr. Wei looked at Yun'er infatuatedly a few times ago, and how he was torn apart by vicious dogs in order to protect Yun'er. The scene of splitting my back and the way I hugged Yun'er tightly made me feel very uncomfortable.

Yun'er didn't notice my emotions, and replied with a smile: "Yes! Brother Wei is very good to me, and everything depends on me. When I'm with him, I don't need to worry about anything."

I panicked in my heart, and continued to ask: "Is your brother Wei engaged?" Yun'er still smiled heartlessly and said, "He, brother Jiang has been teasing that he wants to be an old monk, hahaha..."

Seeing Yun'er talking about Mr. Wei so happily, I felt even more uncomfortable, and suddenly wanted to be alone.

"Yun'er, enjoy your lunch well. The disciples will come to collect the food box later. I'll go back first. I'm still under confinement, so I can't stay too long." I don't want to stay here and listen to Yun'er talking about Mr. Wei, My mind was in a mess, and I wanted to go back to the library and organize my thoughts.

"Second brother Lan... are you leaving now?" Yun'er lost her smile all of a sudden, the light in her eyes dimmed all of a sudden, the corners of her eyes were red, and she looked at me with aggrieved eyes.

"Yes... I have to go... See you tomorrow, Yun'er!" I hardened my heart not to look at her reddish eye sockets, fearing that I would melt into her eyes and be unable to extricate myself.
