Or were you wronged?

Are your family members treating you badly?

Master Sanqing quickly shook his head.

"No, no one has treated me badly, and I haven't been wronged."

"Then why are you crying?"

"Can't I cry even if I feel wronged?"

"You're ignoring your teacher now, is it because you don't want to care about your teacher anymore?"

With the help of her maid, Su Jingshu also got off the carriage. She looked at the Taoist priest Sanqing, who was acting like a child, and suppressed a laugh while deliberately glaring at Ning Bao with a stern face.

“Ningbao, talk to your master properly.”

This time you were definitely in the wrong. When we go to Yuanzhi's wedding, you should have consulted Master Sanqing.

Master Sanqing is your senior brother Yuanzhi's master. As the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life." Now that Yuanzhi is getting married, Master Sanqing should be the head of the household.

“Mother, I understand. I didn’t scold Master. I was just worried that since I’m not often in the village, my family would definitely not let Master suffer any grievances, but I was afraid that the villagers would gossip.”

“Master, I went into the mountains to look for you before I came here, but the little animals in the mountains all said that you went deep into the mountains.”

I didn't know when you would be back, so I didn't wait for you.

My third senior brother is getting married, do you want to come along and have some fun?

The Three Pure Ones nodded.

"I know, I only found out that your third senior brother is getting married because I received a letter from my eagle."

I came out of the mountains to discuss this matter with you, but I didn't expect you to have already left. Since I'm here, let's go together.

Your uncle went traveling again last year. I don't know where he is now, but I think I heard he's heading south. Who knows, we might run into him again.

As he spoke, Master Sanqing climbed into the carriage that Mu Chengju and the others were riding in.

The convoy continued moving slowly forward. Su Jingshu looked at Ning Bao.

"We should be close to town soon. Should we buy another carriage?"

Ning Bao thought for a moment,

"Then let's buy one. My master is a bit eccentric, like a child."

The older brothers still need to study on the way, and riding in the same carriage as their master would be distracting.

Su Jingshu nodded.

"Then let's buy another one."

With the addition of the Taoist priest Sanqing, the journey became even more lively.

The group traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently along the way, and it took them a month to reach Jincheng, which is next to Suzhou.

Jincheng was also a prefectural city, and it was the second largest city in Jiangnan, second only to Suzhou.

Looking at the lush green willows on both sides of the moat outside the city, Mu Chengju couldn't help but sigh.

"This city feels so different, it exudes tenderness everywhere. The drizzle on the street is as soft as butter, and the grass looks green from afar but is barely visible up close."

Spring waters are bluer than the sky; a painted boat sleeps in the rain.

What a beautiful scene of misty rain in Jiangnan! It's truly different from the loess hills on our frontier.

Master Sanqing moved closer to Mu Chengju.

“Young man, I’ve heard that not only is the scenery in Jiangnan beautiful, but the girls are also all slender and graceful. Why don’t you just find a Jiangnan wife and go back to your hometown?”

Upon hearing the words of the Three Pure Ones, fourteen-year-old Mu Chengju blushed slightly.

"Master, please don't talk nonsense."

I'm still young, there's no rush to find a partner.

Master Sanqing gave Mu Chengju a disapproving look.

"No rush! Of course there's a rush!"

Let me tell you, don't think you're still young. I thought so a lot back then, but look at me now, it's no use worrying...
