Chapter 144 Junior Brother or Second Brother?
Wang Guikang sucked his fingers and drooled foolishly. He looked at the lonely king shaking his hair in the distance, then looked at Chen Xiaojuan beside him and laughed: "No... Hehe, girl, I want a girl."
Chen Xiaojuan had a headache and turned his face to look at Baoya: "There, if you have a dog, all the pretty girls will like to play with you."
"Dog..." Wang Guikang finally glanced at the lonely king not far away, and then caught a glimpse of the round and cute Baoya, "Girl..."
"I want a dog, Guikang wants a dog..."
If you want a dog, you can get a beautiful girl.
Chen Xiaojuan pursed her lips and reached out to rub his big head: "Young Master is really smart."
"Hehe, Guikang... smart!" Wang Guikang laughed foolishly with drooling.
Chen Xiaojuan was disgusted, but Zhuangzi was not far away, so she could only endure it.
It's just a dog, what's the big deal? When this little fool raises a big dog, she will let the big dog bite Baoya to vent her anger!
On the other side, Baoya and Yun Chenglu followed Jingzhen through the misty bamboo forest and arrived at Peach Blossom Spring.
Nan Xuan was sitting at the stone table with his legs crossed, eating frozen persimmons.
The frozen hard tomatoes can be rinsed with water and eaten with a small spoon. They are cool and sweet.
Baoya smelled the persimmon before she saw him, and her bright eyes widened: "Master, what are you eating?"
"Frozen persimmons, do you want to eat some?" Nan Xuan smiled.
"Yes!" Baoya said without any hesitation.
Nan Xuan raised his eyebrows, took out three more from the basin of water, and threw them to Baoya, Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu respectively.
"Then come and eat first. But it's cold now, so don't eat too much or you'll get an upset stomach."
"Yeah." Baoya nodded, and couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and start eating.
The frozen persimmons are slightly sweet and not astringent. They are icy and have a little ice in them. They are crunchy when chewed and have a particularly good taste.
Baoya quickly finished the whole thing and then stared at the bowl with eager eyes.
Before Nan Xuan could speak, Jing Zhen had already stood up and took the basin away.
Baoya: ...
"Brother Xiaojing..."
"I'll get you some dragon beard pastry." After saying that, he turned and went into the bamboo building.
Yun Chenglu was still thinking about becoming a disciple. While eating frozen persimmons, his eyes drifted towards Nan Xuan.
She floated for several times, but Nan Xuan raised his eyes and glared back: "Eat your persimmons, there are flowers on my face, look at it!"
"Ahem..." Yun Chenglu was choked by what he said and quickly lowered his head.
Jingzhen happened to come out of the bamboo building, holding a plate of dragon beard cakes in his hand and placed it on the stone table: "Eat it."
"Thank you, Brother Xiaojing," Baoya picked up a piece from the plate and put it in her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Mm, it's delicious!"
"It's sweet and soft, and melts in your mouth. It even has filling inside!"
"This is called melt-in-your-mouth." Nan Xuan also ate one and said with a smile, "The filling inside is a mixture of crushed peanuts, black sesame seeds and shredded coconut. It looks delicious."
Baoya nodded while eating, and was very sure of this dragon beard pastry.
Yun Chenglu next to him looked uninterested.
Nan Xuan saw this and reached out to knock him on the head: "Eat first. Since I've already promised you to become my disciple, I won't go back on my word."
"Really?!" Yun Chenglu became interested again and went to get the dragon beard pastry to eat.
After the four of them sat in the courtyard and had a meal, Nan Xuan began to arrange the tasks for the afternoon.
Yun Chenglu still had thirty bundles of firewood to chop, so Baoya and Jingzhen continued to go to the back mountain to practice walking on wooden stakes.
In order to prevent the two from slacking off, Nan Xuan jumped to the top of the tree with his wine jug and kept an eye on them.
An afternoon passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, Baoya and Jingzhen finished their training, Yun Chenglu had chopped enough firewood, and the four of them gathered in the courtyard again.
Nan Xuan lit the elm firewood piled in the yard and said after a moment, "That's enough. Fine, I'll take yours too."
Yun Chenglu was so happy that he was about to kneel on the ground, but Nan Xuan pulled him back: "What's the hurry? Let's go to the small hall to pay our respects."
The four of them went to the small hall together to perform the ceremony of becoming a disciple. Yun Chenglu knelt three times and kowtowed nine times before standing up from the ground.
Nan Xuan said, "The ceremony is over. As for the tuition, the one hundred bundles of elm firewood will do."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Baoya next to him with ill intent and said, "Little girl, your second brother was the last one to join the sect."
Baoya didn't understand what he meant, but Yun Chenglu did. The smile on his face froze and he said, "No need. Baoya didn't call Jingzhen Senior Brother either."
"But she calls Jingzhen brother." Nan Xuan smiled. "In my place, other etiquette can be ignored, but the seniority cannot be messed up."
"Quick, call the little girl 'Senior Sister' and let her hear it."
Yun Chenglu: ...
He now came to his senses. This person was the last one to accept him. Could it be intentional?
Yun Chenglu stammered and refused to call her, but Baoya blinked and stared at him with interest: "Second brother, you want to call me senior sister? Hurry up and let me hear it!"
Yun Chenglu's face flushed red: "Master... Senior Sister..."
Seeing his embarrassed look, Nan Xuan laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
"Hey hey," Baoya jumped down from the stone bench, pulled Yun Chenglu's clothes, and reached out to touch his head, but couldn't. She could only pat his chest and said, "Good boy, second brother, you are my little apprentice brother now."
Yun Chenglu was helpless and hesitated for a moment, then bit his lip and said, "Well... I will only scream when I'm in Peach Blossom Spring. I won't scream outside of here."
"Okay." Nan Xuan responded with a smile. He had just said it for fun, so of course he didn't care about these things. After hearing Yun Chenglu's call, he was done with the fun and that was it.
After he finished laughing, Jing Zhen beside him said, "You called Baoya, but you haven't called me yet."
"Senior Brother." Yun Chenglu called.
This was much more refreshing. After all, Jingzhen was the same age as him and his skills were better than his. It was not wrong to call him senior brother.
After Yun Chenglu called everyone, they entertained the king for a while, and then Nan Xuan asked Jing Zhen to send the two of them back.
Jingzhen took the lonely king and sent the two of them to the foot of the mountain.
Yun Chenglu kept looking back until Jingzhen and the lonely prince were out of sight. Then he coughed softly and said to Baoya, "Baoya, don't tell Yunhua, Yunyue, and the others about this when you get back! Not even Uncle, Aunt, or Grandma!"
"What's the matter?" Baoya looked up at him while eating the dragon beard pastry in her hand.
"It's...it's about me calling you senior sister." As he said this, Yun Chenglu's face turned red again.
"Well," Baoya nodded, "I won't tell you."
"Huh~" Yun Chenglu let out a long sigh. He was scared to death.
It would be better if Baoya didn't say anything, otherwise, where would he, as the second brother, put his face?
"But I think everyone knows it even if I don't say it. After all, you are the last one to join."
Baoya finished eating the candy, licked her hands, and blinked at Yun Chenglu.
Yun Chenglu: ...
Just think of it as him deceiving himself.
