Chapter 189: Swallowing Heaven(1/2)
Seeing that the young master's wife in the private room called him "Little Yuanxi", Yuanxi just thought that the master called him like this when he mentioned him to the master's wife, so he didn't think much about it. Instead, he bowed respectfully to Shangguan Zimo and said seriously: "Yuanxi, I have seen Master's wife!"
Lv Guanju, who was standing beside Yuan Xi, hesitated for a moment, and also saluted the princess who seemed to be the same age as him, and said softly: "Lu Guanju, I have met my master's wife!"
Shangguan Zimo was stunned for a moment, as if the title "Master's Mother" was not a name for herself, especially when such a girl suddenly appeared, she caught her off guard.
In Shangguan Zimo's eyes, Xing Yunqi was just a child. If this child calls his master's wife, she only felt sweet in her heart, but when Yuan Xi called him his master's wife, she felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Cheng's right and wrong came out from behind the two of them, and also bowed to Shangguan Zimo and said, "The people who are good and wrong have met the princess!"
Shangguan Zimo smiled slightly and said to the right and wrong: "What princess is not a princess? There is no need to be so polite!"
Then he took a step forward, stood in front of Yuan Xi, looked up slightly, reached out and gestured, and said, "Xiao Yuan Xi, you are so tall, you are half a head taller than me. You were much shorter than me back then."
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Master's wife, do we know each other before? Why don't I remember this?"
"I know you! But you were too young at that time. After so many years, you should have forgotten it. Speaking of which, I was only five years old at that time."
Shangguan Zimo said with a smile, then turned to look at Huo Qiji and continued, "Brother Huo, Yuan Xi really doesn't remember me."
Huo Qiji nodded slightly and said, "He was only over three years old at that time. It's common sense not to remember you. Okay, let's sit down first and then reminisce about the past."
"good!"
Shangguan Zimo turned to look at Lu Guanju, looked at him for a few glances and smiled, "Can you be Yuan Xi's wife?"
Lu Guanju, who was guessing in his heart what Yuan Xi and Shangguan Zimo had a relationship, blushed when he heard this, and said softly: "Master's wife, I am not married yet, and I cannot be called his wife at the moment."
Shangguan Zimo quietly glanced at Huo Qiji, then approached Lu Guanju's ear, and whispered: "Actually, I have not married Brother Huo yet. Otherwise, let's call each other, don't worry about my master's wife."
As a girl, Lu Guanju naturally understood Shangguan Zimo's thoughts, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Okay, Your Highness, the princess can call me 'Guan'."
Shangguan Zimo took Lu Guanju's arm and said with a smile: "You are not as unfamiliar as calling me a princess. That may not be too unfamiliar. I am two years older than Yuanxi. I think you can call me Sister Momo."
"Ah? How can this work?"
Lu Guanju glanced at Huo Qiji gently and whispered: "But where is Master?"
"What's there? We'll just talk about our own things."
After saying that, he pulled Lu Guanju and sat down next to him.
When the two girls were whispering, Yuan Xi had already walked to Huo Qiji with Cheng Ye.
Huo Qiji signaled Yuan Xi to sit next to him on his right hand. Xing Yunqi, who was about to sit next to Yuan Xi when he pulled the right hand, whispered: "Junior brother, you are the youngest, you should sit next to me."
After saying that, he sat next to Yuan Xi without saying anything.
Xing Yunqi, who originally wanted to sit next to her senior brother, was taken first by Cheng’s right and wrong and said angrily: “Brother Cheng, you, you bully people.”
Huo Qiji chuckled and said to Xing Yunqi: "Xiao Yunqi, just sit opposite to your master!"
After hearing the master's words, Xing Yunqi reluctantly sat opposite Huo Qiji.
At this time, Shangguan Zimo had already pulled Lu Guanju to sit opposite Yuanxi and Cheng's right and wrong.
Yuan Xi first glanced at Lu Guanju, then glanced at Shangguan Zimo sitting opposite him. He still didn't remember which old friend the master's wife was, so he asked Huo Qiji: "Master, have you taken me to Tianyu Mountain since I was a child? Then when did I meet my master's wife?"
When Yuan Xi asked him in front of Shangguan Zimo, Huo Qiji glared at Xing Yunqi first, and then said, "Yuan Xi, although I have made a marriage contract with Momo... the princess, but she has not yet gotten married. You should call her by other titles for the time being."
After saying that, he turned to look at Shangguan Zimo and asked softly: "Momo, do you think it's so good?"
Shangguan Zimo's face was also a little red, and he nodded slightly and said, "Yes~"
Then he smiled sweetly at Yuan Xi, "Little Yuan Xi, just like Miss Guan Guan, you should call me sister!"
At this time, Xing Yunqi muttered in a low voice: "Shouldn't he be called aunt?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt two gazes looking at him. Xing Yunqi quickly lowered his head and stopped saying a word.
Huo Qiji and Shangguan Zimo looked at each other.
In fact, according to seniority, it is also appropriate for Yuan Xi to call Shangguan Zimo "Aunt".
Yuan Xi remembered what had just happened, and said to Huo Qiji: "Master, those two people just now are really hateful, but why do you treat Zhang Tiangou and Fu Xinhan completely differently? I heard from the junior brother that if Zhang Tiangou had not been around and stirred up everyone's anger, things would not have become more and more serious."
Huo Qiji looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Yuan Xi, how could the teacher be skeptical about these two people? It's just that they are ungrateful and keep chatting. Even if the teacher chooses to give in, they will only make more excessive demands, so I will shock them. You can see that even after I take action, they are still there. Why?"
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Master, you are too lighter."
"Yes, when the force cannot reach absolute deterrence, it is better not to take action than to take action."
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "If you hadn't appeared suddenly, I'd probably have to use other means to leave here. However, this wine is destined to be unable to drink it."
Then he patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder and said, "Yuan Xi, please ask you? If Fu Xinhan insisted on not apologizing to Wei's teacher, what would you do?"
Yuanxi thought about it, frowned, and said nothing.
Huo Qiji said slowly: "Do you feel a sense of frustration and powerlessness? If you didn't say anything else to beat him up, it means that your teacher's teachings can be kept in mind. Yuan Xi, the reason why he was unwilling to say too much to Fu Xinhan was because his teacher knew that it was because I said it, which would only make him feel even more harsh. If such a reverse is true, his teacher would naturally not do it. As for Zhang Tiangou, he really didn't want him to read the sages in vain."
"I noticed that his boots were worn seriously and his clothes were simple. He looked like he was not a rich man and it was difficult for poor families to study, so he spoke up and said a few words."
After meeting Chen Suisui, Yuan Xi also knew how heavy the four words "suffering" in the world are. He nodded and said, "Master, but I still think that Zhang Tiangou does not have the backbone of a scholar and is too utilitarian."
Huo Qiji shook his head slightly and said to Yuan Xi: "Did you forget your teachings as a teacher? It is not a bad thing to be utilitarian. It only depends on whether the means of pursuing utilitarianism can be accepted by the world."
"If Fu Xinhan knew his true identity, would he still be like this? After all, he is the same as Zhang Tiangou. It's a pity that he is not lucky, so his identity will not be revealed in public as a teacher."
Yuan Xi already understood the meaning of Huo Qiji's words.
However, the four words "He is not lucky" have another meaning.
Dare to pick up a chat with me, Huo Qiji's woman? I deserve it!
At this time, the restaurant’s staff came in to deliver the food and asked Huo Qiji whether he needed to add some more dishes.
Huo Qiji nodded and told the friend that he would just let the shopkeeper arrange it.
Yuanxi poured the wine for his master, then looked at Shangguan Zimo with a wine pot.
Shangguan Zimo smiled and said, "Xiao Yuanxi, just drink it, don't pay attention to us."
Then he turned to look at Lu Guanju and whispered: "Sister Guan Guan, I'll stop drinking when I see you and me. What do you think?"
Lu Guanju is not a shy person. After talking to Shangguan Zimo for a few words, he was already full of affection for the laughing princess wife.
Nodded slightly, she picked up the teapot and added some tea to Shangguan Zimo's cup and said, "Okay~"
After filling his wine glass, Yuan Xi handed the wine pot to Cheng Shi Fei and said, "Xiao Fei, have you drunk a lot before? Let's drink less now!"
After Cheng Shifei took the wine pot, he smiled and said, "I will stop drinking it after I toast a cup of sir."
Yuan Xi was still curious about his life experience, so he didn't rush to drink, but asked: "Master, you haven't said when I've seen Princess Momo!"
Yuan Xi definitely dared not to call Shangguan Zimo "sister".
When Shangguan Zimo heard this, he was about to speak, but Huo Qiji gently pressed his arm.
Huo Qiji looked at Yuanxi and said, "When I brought you to Bazhou from Yongzhou, I passed by Liangzhou and lived in Xiliang Palace for a few days. At that time, Momo and you were both children, so they played together for a few days."
“Oh~”
Yuan Xi thought for a while, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Master, did you make a marriage contract with Princess Momo at that time?"
Huo Qiji, who had just picked up the wine glass and placed it beside his mouth, almost sprayed out a sip of wine, glaring and saying, "Don't talk nonsense, how is it possible?"
Then he took a breath and said, "My marriage with the princess is not something you, a disciple, should inquire about."
Xing Yunqi, who was staring at the dishes on the table, dared not move his chopsticks, blocked his hand and whispered to Yuanxi: "Senior Brother, you'd better stop asking~"
Huo Qiji smiled and said to Yuanxi: "Look, it's better for your junior brother to be more sensible."
Then he said to Xing Yunqi: "Xiao Yunqi, you are not an outsider even if you want to eat it!"
Xing Yunqi grinned, then whispered to Yuan Xi who looked at him: "Senior brother, I know all those things, I will tell you then!"
Yuanxi's eyes lit up and nodded at Xing Yunqi.
When Huo Qiji heard this, he ate the chopsticks that were picking up food in his hand and looked up at Xing Yunqi.
Xing Yunqi shrank his head, looked at Shangguan Zimo in a blink of an eye, and handed over a look of help.
Shangguan Zimo smiled and said, "Xiao Yunqi is not afraid. Your master is so kind to you, and he will not punish you. Oh ~ By the way, I remember that you seem to have left a few books that you have not copied in the past few days. Have you forgotten what you copied before? The saint said, "It's a pleasure to learn and practice it from time to time. You should eat more quickly and take a while and be able to copy books."
When Xing Yunqi heard this, he pouted his mouth and lay on the table and felt depressed, and no longer had the intention to eat those delicious dishes.
Seeing this, Lu Guanju whispered to Shangguan Zimo: "Sister Momo, he seems a little unhappy."
Shangguan Zimo blinked and said, "It's okay, it'll be fine in a short while!"
At this time, Cheng Ye took the opportunity to toast Huo Qiji with a glass of wine. After putting down the glass, he saw Xing Yunqi being depressed, so he whispered to make him happy.
Yuanxi, who was thinking about his life experience, asked his master while eating, "Master, when you left, you left me a letter saying that you wanted me to go to Yongzhou to find you in the future, but why did you pause in Liangzhou? Besides, aren't you from Yuzhou? Why did you want me to go to Yongzhou to find you again?"
Huo Qiji gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Yuanxi and said, "Yuanxi, Master really has something to go to Yongzhou. If nothing unexpected happens, he should stay in Yongzhou for a long time. As for his identity as a teacher, where did you know it?"
When Yuan Xi heard this, he said with a guilty look on his face: "Master, I didn't listen to you and told Uncle Lu about your name, that is, Guan Guan's father, the garrison of Pingnan City, and Lu Yiping."
Then he added, "Master, since you are the son of the national teacher and the direct descendant of the Xuan family, why did you take me, a child, to live in seclusion in Tianyu Mountain for so long? Could it be that there is something wrong with my life experience?"
Huo Qiji chuckled and said, "I didn't let you report your master's name to the outside world, just because I was afraid that you would get into trouble. After all, you didn't go out of Xuanyi Sect, and as a teacher, I did not claim to the world that you are a disciple of Xuanyi Sect. In this way, you, who are carrying the unique skills of Xuanyi Sect, will easily attract the attention of other sects in the world."
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Master, do you mean someone will covet my martial arts?"
Huo Qiji nodded and continued, "A boy with unknown origin, with peerless martial arts, will naturally be jealous. Take Zhen Beiyu from Qingyun Sect for example. He attacked you today just to get the practice of my Xuan Yi Taixuan Technique. You know this."
Yuan Xi grabbed his head and said in confusion: "Master, it's not right. If the disciples had the status of being a direct disciple of Xuanyi Sect, how could they dare to attack me easily?"
