Chapter 248 Master Luoxue, you are really rude
"The heart is empty, and there is no trace of what it should be. If you have something important to do, treat it as it is. Keep your friends in front, and you will be roundabout..."< br>
In the simple and quiet courtyard, the moonlight is faint,
The white paper lanterns hanging lightly under the eaves sway in the wind, scattering mottled light and shadow.
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head and recited an article called "Recent Thoughts", his voice was loud and clear, blending with the quiet night,
Dugu Luoxue was sitting under the lantern, holding a silver needle, lightly winding thin thread between her fingers, sewing clothes. The tip of the needle occasionally touched her fingertips, leaving an almost invisible red mark, but it never distracted her.
Occasionally, I raised my head and frowned, thinking about the next stitch.
What she held in her hand was a man's shirt.
Of course it was made for the new apprentice in front of me.
Maybe I thought it was inappropriate to only give him a pair of socks. After all, he was his only apprentice, so he went out to buy some cloth and cut and sewed it.
For her, making clothes for her apprentices is a normal thing.
Her temperament has always been so simple and peaceful. She sews her own clothes, grows her own vegetables, and is self-sufficient in everything... her daily life is as simple as water.
Others may think that she has few desires and is boring, but for her, the joy of life lies in the ordinary daily life. Although the external things are simple, the heart is full.
"People have Yi, it is their nature...nature..."
Jiang Shouzhong, who was reciting, paused, scratched his head, and tried hard to think about the following sentence, but he couldn't remember it. .
He secretly glanced at Dugu Luoxue, who was concentrating on sewing clothes, squinted at the book next to him, and flicked the pages with one finger.
"Knowing the temptation to materialize."
The woman's cold and beautiful voice sounded.
Jiang Shouzhong withdrew his hand with a swish, straightened his body, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I just remembered... Then I killed my righteousness, and Zhuo Bi realized it first..."
But seeing The woman picked up the ruler, and the man suddenly looked bitter:
"Master, there's no need. You've hit me six times. Let's forget it this time. In fact, I can still remember it without you reminding me."
Dugu Luoxue stared at him without blinking. , the red lips spit out two words: "reach out."
Jiang Shouzhong had no choice but to stretch out his hand.
Pop!
A heavy ruler was struck in the palm of the hand.
The force is not heavy, but not light either. The burning pain is enough to make people remember it for a long time.
Well, I dreamed of going back to class and being slapped on the palm by the teacher, right?
If the other party hadn't helped him before and got into big trouble with the court, Jiang Shouzhong would have abandoned his books and left.
"You didn't memorize it because you haven't understood its meaning yet."
Dugu Luoxue looked at him with a serious face, like a staid old master in school, patiently treating Jiang Shouzhong Explanation:
"The meaning of this passage is that life upholds the laws of heaven, which comes from human nature. If the mind changes with things under the temptation of material desires, it will lose its innate integrity..."
Haha, it is indeed the way of abstinence.
This is the taste.
Jiang Shouzhong looked like I have seen through Master's intention a long time ago, and smiled lightly: "Master, I don't agree with this point of view. I think..."
"No refutation is allowed!"
Unexpectedly, before Jiang Shouzhong started to argue, he was stopped by Dugu Luoxue.
The woman puffed up her cheeks slightly, glared angrily at the sophistry man in front of her, and said coldly: "I said, listen! Otherwise, you will be marked down ten times!"
Jiang Shouzhong had no choice but to close his eyes. mouth.
Looking at the deflated man, the corners of the woman's lips curled up slightly.
Immediately, he began to explain in a precise manner.
After the explanation, Jiang Shouzhong was asked to continue chanting, while she still focused on the needlework in her hands.
The moonlight is gurgling on the branches, the cicadas are chirping, and the silver needles are shuttled between the cloth, making a subtle and regular sound, which harmonizes with the man's clear chanting, forming a unique movement of silence. .
This scene is particularly harmonious.
Jiang Shouzhong finally memorized the rest of the article smoothly without getting stuck again.
“Go take a bath and rest early.”
Dugu Luoxue lowered her head, bit off a piece of thread, and spoke softly.
A strand of black hair casually fell on the woman's forehead.
Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out, looked at the branches shrouded in moonlight in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "The bright moon is frightening the magpies, the breeze is midnight, the cicadas are chirping... Such a life is quite comfortable. Interesting. "
At this time, he was somewhat envious of Dugu Luoxue's simple life.
In fact, in Anhe Village, he should have had it.
It's a pity...
A hint of gloom appeared in Jiang Shouzhong's eyes, and he sighed secretly and entered the room.
"The bright moon is frightened by the branches, and the breeze is midnight and the cicadas are chirping..."
After hearing this poem, Dugu Luoxue paused suddenly with the hand holding the needle and thread, turning her head to look at the closed door The door of the house is shining with beautiful eyes.
This apprentice is really talented.
After sewing clothes for a while, Dugu Luoxue rubbed her slightly tired Hao wrists, stood up and took Jiang Shouzhong's left book back to her room.
She put the clothes in the bamboo basket and sat at the desk.
The desk is located next to the window.
Open the window sash and a bright moon shines in.
Dugu Luoxue spread out a page of rice paper, dipped her pen in ink... She always used to write something before going to bed.
This time, she didn't know what to write.
Taoist heart was damaged, and in order to hone his mind, he insisted on accepting this disciple. Although he looked calm on the surface, there was always some worry in his heart.
I don’t know whether she chose this method right or wrong.
A woman’s heart is always hard to calm down.
The melting moonlight, as refined as frost, pours gently on the lady's body, making her jade cheeks look like snow, making her flawless.
Duguluo sighed softly, holding his chin in one hand, his dignified attitude slightly tinged with laziness.
She has always been steady, calm and as calm as water. At this moment, she actually showed a rare and charming expression. Her usual coldness was added with a touch of softness. No matter how skilled a painter is, it is difficult to describe this charm.
But her hand holding the pen was writing and scratching casually.
When the woman came back to her senses, she found that two lines of scrawled words had been written on the rice paper - the bright moon is frightened by the branches, and the cicadas are chirping in the middle of the night.
Dugu Luoxue stared blankly, silent for a long time, and the corners of her lips gradually curved.
——
When I woke up in the morning, it was already dark.
Jiang Shouzhong put on his clothes and walked out of the house, only to see that Dugu Luoxue had already gotten up.
At this time, the woman was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden.
“The best female wife in the world, the deputy master of Longevity Mountain, a master of the Ascension Realm...”
Looking at the woman with her sleeves rolled up and bending over to pick vegetables, Jiang Shouzhong murmured, "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe it. What a strange woman."
Breakfast was very simple, with porridge and rice. Chinese cabbage.
Jiang Shouzhong couldn't help but said: "Master, it's not nutritious for you to eat like this every day. You look thin..."
Looking at Master's great mind, Lieutenant General Jiang Shouzhong said "thin" He took it back and then said: "Anyway, I suggest adding some meat dishes in the future. If it doesn't work, I'll cook it. If you want to eat fish or chicken, just tell me."
Dugu Luoxue sipped the rice porridge in small sips. He said calmly: "I still say the same thing, you can go out to eat by yourself if you are not used to it."
"I care about you, Master."
"Thank you, I'm fine."
"..."
Jiang Shouzhong sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "Forget it. Well, when heaven is about to give a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard on his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin... Only by following the master and enduring hardship can he achieve the great road."
Dugu Luoxue said: "I don't think so. I am suffering, but..."
The woman stared at Jiang Shouzhong in surprise and said, "What you said is quite thoughtful. It seems that you really have wisdom. In the future, your path may be more successful than others."
Jiang Shouzhong He smiled and said, "You can't live forever. Why should you pursue this illusory thing? It's better to live a good life with your wife."
"Do you like immortality?"
Dugu Luoxue looked at him calmly.
Jiang Shouzhong chuckled: "Who doesn't like immortality? Of course, the premise is that the people I care about can also live forever, otherwise this thing will really torture people's mentality."
Dugu Luoxue lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "The pursuit of the great road does not necessarily mean the pursuit of immortality."
Jiang Shouzhong said: "Not for immortality? That is a waste of time." Dugu Luoxue frowned, wanting to She retorted, but remembering that the person in front of her could make her depressed, she stopped asking for trouble, lowered her head and drank the porridge silently.
After eating, Jiang Shouzhong obeyed his master's previous instructions and diligently picked up the dishes and chopsticks to wash them.
After coming out of the kitchen, she saw Dugu Luoxue holding some old clothes.
She put the clothes in the basin and said to Jiang Shouzhong: "These are the clothes that need to be changed. If you don't want to, I will wash them."
Jiang Shouzhong came over and frowned: "I am willing, but I will. You..."
Looking at the plain white underwear inside, Jiang Shouzhong thought, as a master, you are really not polite at all.
——
At this time, Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu were standing in front of a pawnshop called "Bendong" on Xiling Street.
The two of them came looking for it early.
“This is it, right?”
Lu Renjia asked Zhang Yunwu.
Zhang Yunwu nodded: "That should be it."
"Let's go in."
Lu Renjia touched the envelope in his arms and stepped into the pawn shop.
However, as soon as the two of them stepped into the simple and elegant pawn shop, they were unexpectedly surrounded by a group of well-trained strong men.
These people were dressed in official uniforms and were actually government servants and internal guards.
Lu Renjia’s expression changed: “What are you doing?”
“I should ask you two!”
A cold questioning voice came.
I saw a bearded man walking over, staring coldly at Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu, and asked in a cold voice: "Lu Renjia, Zhang Yunwu, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"< br>
“Commander Shen?”
Lu Renjia’s face looked ugly.
This bearded man is the deputy commander-in-chief of the capital city. Although his cultivation is not as good as Ma Wu, his status is very high and he is deeply trusted by the emperor.
Beside Commander Shen, there were two other people.
One is Dan Dongchuan and the other is Yuan Anjiang.
At this time, Yuan Anjiang frowned, looking worried.
It turns out that Dan Dongchuan returned to Liumen last night and told Jiang Mo that he might be a spy from the Southern Jin Kingdom. Yuan Anjiang naturally didn't believe it.
So they spent the whole night looking for Liu Wuxu to inquire, and sent people to Murong's house to investigate.
However, the results of the investigation were indeed unfavorable to Jiang Mo.
Even so, Yuan Anjiang still did not believe that Jiang Mo could be a spy.
Just this morning, a clue suddenly came from the government, saying that the pawnshop owner named Bentong was found to be a spy of the Southern Jin Kingdom and decided to arrest him.
Yuan Anjiang also followed.
After interrogation, there is no doubt that this shopkeeper is indeed a spy sent by Nanjin Kingdom.
This gave Yuan Anjiang a bad feeling.
Sure enough, as soon as the shop owner was arrested, Jiang Mo’s two brothers came to the pawn shop.
“Tell me, what are you two doing here!?”
Commander Shen asked.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Renjia forced out a smile, rubbed his hands and said:
"Commander Shen, we brothers are just here to be a pawn. We don't have any money to spend. I didn't know you were handling the case, so... then I won't disturb you. You can continue. If you need any help, just say it."
Lu Renjia grabbed Zhang Yunwu’s arm and tried to leave, but was blocked by the internal guards.
Lu Renjia turned around and said with a smile: "Commander Shen, we are all our own people. Your second brother is the son of his brother's sister-in-law's sister's second aunt's sworn brother, and he is married to the cousin of one of my brothers. , They are all our own people.”
“Our own people?”
Commander Shen sneered and ordered his subordinates, “Search!”
Lu Renjia suddenly panicked and said angrily: "Commander Shen, what are you doing? I'm a public employee of the Six Gates. You... don't... get out of my way... Whoever dares to search me, I'm in trouble with." !”
Commander Shen shouted angrily: “Lu Renjia, if you don’t cooperate, we will put you in prison now!”
Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu are still struggling.
But in front of so many people, the two of them were eventually pushed to the ground, and the letter was found.
“What is this?”
Commander Shen shook the letter in his hand and stared at the embarrassed two men gloomily.
"That...that's..."
Lu Renjia couldn't say anything.
At this time, Dan Dongchuan said in surprise: "Huh? This envelope... seems very similar to the envelopes of the letters we found from the shopkeeper's room."
Yuan Anjiang His pupils shrank and his heart sank.
He is not a fool who has been in official circles for many years. This situation is too coincidental. It is obvious that there is an invisible big hand behind the scenes.
And Commander Shen seems to have been taken advantage of.
He stared sharply at Dan Dongchuan, his eyes full of suspicion.
Hearing what Dan Dongchuan said, Commander Shen stared at Lu Renjia with his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Tell me! Where did this letter come from? Did you come here to deliver it? Who is this letter from? "For you?"
"This letter belongs to me! Return it to me!"
Lu Renjia shouted loudly.
Dan Dongchuan said: "Lu Renjia, do you know that the owner of this pawn shop is a spy from the Nanjin Kingdom.
The letter in your hand, the envelope is with us. The one found in the shopkeeper's study is very similar.
Tell us where this letter came from. If you had it earlier, it would have been delivered yesterday... right? Mo gave it to you? Did you see Jiang Mo last night?"
Lu Renjia was stunned and said angrily: "You bastard, you want to frame Xiao Jiang again, don't you? , all over the streets, I can go to the study and buy hundreds of these for you, believe it or not?”
Shan Dongchuan sighed and stopped talking.
Seeing Commander Shen about to open the envelope, Lu Renjia suddenly became anxious and rushed forward to snatch it, but was pushed to the ground by several internal guards.
"That's my letter to Qing Niang! You can't read it! Commander Shen! You can't read it!"
Lu Renjia's eyes were red.
Commander Shen ignored him, opened the envelope and took out the letter, only to find it was a blank piece of paper.
However, as an expert in espionage, he was no stranger to espionage. He smelled the white paper and said to his subordinates: "Go and light a candle."
One of his subordinates found a candle. Click on.
Commander Shen unfolded the white paper and placed it over the candle flame to heat it back and forth.
Soon, some black words appeared on the letter paper.
Realizing that something big was going to happen, Yuan Anjiang clenched his fists tightly and his palms were sweating. He couldn't help but come forward to take a look.
Shan Dongchuan also came over.
A commander's deputy next to him subconsciously said:
"Only you, Qing Niang, can read this letter. If others read it, the whole family will lose their skin. Qing Niang, your smile, It is the most beautiful scenery in my world. It gently blows through my heart, like the spring breeze, regardless of the return date..."
As he read it, the deputy became confused and looked at a loss.
The others also looked weird.
Yuan Anjiang was stunned for a while, then came to his senses, suppressed his smile, and then became depressed again.
Damn it, I shouldn’t have watched it.
The whole family has no swallows.
Lu Renjia was still cursing and struggling, but occasionally he glanced at Zhang Yunwu with a hint of complacency in his eyes.
It turns out that Zhang Yunwu was not the only one who felt something was wrong last night, Lu Renjia also noticed something unusual.
However, he was afraid that someone was watching around him, so he kept pretending to be deceived and ignored Zhang Yunwu's reminder. In fact, he secretly changed the letter.
Hey, I really thought that Mr. A was a fool.
