Wei Ting said: "You are still young, you can't drink."
Jing Yi frowned: "I'm nineteen!"
Wei Ting glanced at him and said, "You are not yet old enough to be an adult. You are just a brat."
After that, he pulled out the cork from the bottle.
Jing Yi snatched his wine bag away: "I want to drink it!"
Wei Ting snorted with disgust and took out the third wine bag from the food box.
"You still have any?"
Jing Yi frowned his handsome brows in deep hatred, "You are playing tricks on me."
Wei Ting said seriously: "This is called family happiness."
Jing Yi: "Draw your sword."
Su Xiaoxiao said to Ling Yun, "Eat it while it's hot, or it will get clumpy and won't taste good."
Ling Yun opened his mouth.
The three little ones sat obediently on their little mats, looking at him eagerly.
Ling Yun struggled for a while, picked up the bowl and started eating slowly.
When the three little ones saw their master had started eating, they were finally able to start eating too. They dove into their little bowls and began to slurp the food!
After eating the longevity noodles, the three little ones called Sihu over and played with him in the corridor.
Wei Ting handed the wine bag in his hand to the palace master and took out the fourth one from the food box.
Jing Yi: "How many did you bring?"
Wei Ting: "It's enough for you to drink anyway."
When the palace mistress saw the wine, she knew that her son had indeed made the right admission and won her heart: "One goes!"
Wei Ting has a good alcohol tolerance and can accompany the palace master for a hundred times.
This was the first time Jing Yi drank seriously.
It was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue.
During the time that Ling Yun was away from Su Xiaoxiao, the weight he had finally gained back became thin again.
Even if you look frail, you shouldn't drink too much.
The wine Wei Ting gave him was not even strong liquor, but light plum wine.
"Son, do it!"
"Xiao Yi, do it!"
Jing Yi didn't want to do it, but thinking of the Palace Master's martial arts, he still endured the humiliation and did it.
Then he got drunk.
His face was flushed and his big obsidian eyes were wide open and motionless.
The children had a great time and the adults drank to their heart's content, but it always felt like something was missing.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Would it be possible for me to hear Master Nalan play the zither?"
Ling Yun asked someone to bring the zither and the zheng.
The piano is for myself.
The zheng is for Su Xiaoxiao.
The servants set up the shelf.
Ling Yun put the piano down, and with the movement of his slender fingertips, a melodious and soul-stirring piano sound slowly rang out in the house.
It wasn't any song I had played before.
It is the melody that suddenly leaps onto your fingertips.
Everyone was immediately mesmerized.
The thin and light figure played out the soul-stirring swordplay.
One flower, one leaf, one bodhi; one man, one sword, one world!
Wei Ting's expression changed, he picked up the wine bag and jumped onto the roof.
The night wind blew his robes, and he chanted aloud:
"A genius is born in my generation, and time flies by once we enter the martial arts world!"
"Talking and laughing about the imperial ambitions is no match for a drunken life!"
The melody begins again.
Su Xiaoxiao looked calm. She gently stroked the zither on the stand with her hands. Her white fingertips tickled the strings, following the rhythm of Ling Yun's music.
The sound of the zither and the zheng combined, what a feast! Jing Yi drew the sword from his waist and leapt into the courtyard.
The young man in black danced with the sword, full of vigor and momentum.
The piano playing by Su Xiaoxiao and Ling Yun gradually became more passionate.
Maybe it was the strong liquor or something else, but the Palace Master suddenly felt his blood boiling.
She performed Qinggong, leaped up, broke off a branch of the crabapple tree, and said to Jing Yi: "Boy, let me teach you a few moves!"
One Xuan and one Zi, they started fighting in the night.
Each of the Palace Master's moves was aimed at Jing Yi's weak spot, and then the next move would guide Jing Yi to break the predicament.
Jing Yi became more and more excited as the fight went on, his eyes lighting up.
“Good qualifications!”
The palace master was generous with his praise.
Wei Ting flicked his wide sleeves.
"The world is like a tide and people are like water, I only sigh that few people return to the rivers and lakes!"
The Palace Master threw the crabapple branch in his hand to Wei Ting: "Son! Take it!"
Wei Ting took the crabapple branch, put down the wine bag, jumped down, and started to spar with the palace master together with Jing Yi.
The Palace Master had always wanted to teach Ling Yun martial arts, but unfortunately his health was not very good, so she did not dare to use any force.
Now that two tough guys have arrived, the Palace Master can finally satisfy his urge to teach his son.
After the song was over, the three of them also stopped.
Everyone felt refreshed.
The Palace Master looked at Ling Yun, who didn't smile but had a less gloomy look on his face, and said to Wei Ting, "This is his first birthday. I thought he would never have one in his life... He is always sad on this day every year. Today is his happiest day."
Every year on his birthday, the Palace Master would keep vigil for Ling Yun according to the island’s custom.
This year, everyone held a vigil for him. - The next morning, no one got up.
The three little ones couldn't be woken up no matter how hard they tried.
Da Hu sighed.
Xiaohu put his hands on his hips and stamped his feet: "This is a big deal!"
Erhu: "My little stone is still the best."
The three of them wanted to dance at the grave to wake up their father, but their mother was also there.
In order not to disturb my mother, I let my stinky father go.
Go and quarrel with Jing Yi.
Jing Yi was so drunk that he couldn't be awakened even by thunder.
Go and quarrel with the Palace Master.
The palace master was lying on her back, such a beautiful lady, snoring loudly in her sleep.
The three little ones found their master again.
The master lazily raised his arms and hugged the three little evil disciples.
The three little ones whose cheeks were pressed so hard: "..."
Okay, let's sleep for a while. -Finally it was noon and everyone got up.
Su Xiaoxiao told Wei Ting about Grandma Nie's identity and decided to stay at Nie's house for a few days.
No matter what, we must conquer Granny Nie as soon as possible and let her help Su Xuan get rid of his attachment.
At the same time, Su Xuan's Rakshasa secret technique is also her husband's unique skill, so she might have to rely on her to find a way.
Wei Ting had finally found her, so naturally he wanted to be with her.
But the men of the Nie family were not at home, and Grandma Nie did not interact with outsiders. Only Xiao Ruyan was "widowed" at home, so it was inconvenient for Wei Ting to visit her.
It is much more convenient for Dahu, Erhu and Xiaohu, because they are the four-year-old little tigers that everyone loves.
So Da Hu, Er Hu, and Xiao Hu immediately packed their small bags and set off with their mother! "Daddy, goodbye!"
The three of them waved to Wei Ting proudly and said, "Don't miss us too much!"
The Palace Master was reluctant to let her go, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao aggrievedly: "Are you leaving now?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'll be back in a few days."
The Palace Master pointed with his finger: "Three days, no more!"
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and said with a smile: "Okay."
The palace mistress squatted down to tidy up the clothes of the three little ones. The three little ones stood on tiptoe and gave her three soft hugs.
The palace master's heart was about to melt: "Take good care of your mother, understand?"
The three little ones puffed up their chests and said, "I know!"
Wei Ting: "Mom, I'm going to the Fire Killing Gate."
The palace master's face darkened.
Wei Ting: "Come back in the afternoon."
The palace master's expression eased a little: "That's more like it!"
Wei Ting pulled Jing Yi over and said, "Let Xiao Yi stay to entertain you."
Jing Baobao looked confused: "......?!"
Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao were not familiar with the terrain of Qianshan Island, so Ling Yun sent them there.
But what no one expected was that when they arrived at the street, they found that the road ahead was blocked and no one was allowed to pass.
This is the only way to get to the Nie family.
Ling Yun doesn't tolerate these people.
He got off the carriage and came to the line of guards blocking the road: "Why is the road blocked?"
The guard said arrogantly: "The city lord's wife is here, everyone else should stay away."
Ling Yun said coldly: "Where did the lady from Qianshan Island come from? A good dog doesn't block the road. If you don't get out of the way, I won't be polite!"
"What happened?"
A gentle yet powerful voice came from the carriage opposite.
The guard turned around and said respectfully, "Madam, there is a foolish person causing trouble here. I will take him away right away!"
Madam Ru lifted the curtain and looked towards Ling Yun.
The poem comes from Li Bai's "Jianghu Xing".
