Chapter 74: Connecting with others brings either joy or sorrow
After leaving Lingqi Pavilion
Yan Yunxiao took off his wristband and threw it to Yan Ruyu.
After Yan Ruyu took it, she didn't understand what her mother meant.
Yan Yunxiao said with a look of regret: "Look."
Then, Yan Ruyu looked carefully at the wristband on her hand.
However, after a closer look, he discovered that there was a crack on his mother's wristband, and at a glance, Yan Ruyu could tell that it was the mark of a knife cut.
Yan Ruyu immediately looked at Yan Yunxiao in astonishment: "Is it the knife that Miss Chang'an just used?"
Yan Yunxiao didn't say anything, but just showed his wrist to Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu was shocked, because her mother's wrist was not only red, but also showing signs of turning purple, and blood clots were gradually gathering, obviously she had suffered some kind of heavy blow.
If it were someone else, Yan Ruyu would not be like this.
After all, she had experienced how strong Su Changan was.
If an ordinary person's arm was hit by Su Changan's full force without avoiding or evading, his arm would definitely be fractured, or even worse.
but.
This is my mother.
Endless existence.
The most fundamental difference after reaching the end is that the physical strength has surpassed that of everyone before the end.
Yan Yunxiao didn't care about his minor injury at all, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Miss Chang'an's sword intent is different from ours. Or is it more suitable for heavy weapons?"
Yan Yunxiao shook his head: "Martial arts is not about what you practice, but about what you want. The old man Diao Si beside the Queen Mother is good at using fists, but he doesn't use them. Is he weak? I used to think that Miss Chang'an, who has such strength, is suitable for swords or other weapons, and not for dexterous weapons such as swords. Now it seems that it's not that she is not suitable, but that the child is suitable for everything."
"I won't tell you the details. You're a tight-lipped person. If you tell that kid about it, he might go astray. If you figure it out, don't say anything more. It's just like I didn't tell you so clearly back then. As for you, you will definitely reach the ninth rank within five years, but if you're slow, you might be caught up."
Yan Ruyu was stunned, even though her mother didn't make it clear that she would be caught up.
But Yan Ruyu inexplicably felt that it was Miss Chang'an.
Is it possible?
Is it impossible?
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.
Yan Yunxiao felt so disappointed when he saw his daughter like this. She had a stubborn mind, just like her father. It made him angry just by looking at her!
But looking at his daughter, Yan Yunxiao smiled. Actually, his daughter was not bad. Although she was a little stupid and became a little greedy after following Miss Chang'an, she was good otherwise.
Yan Yunxiao said, "After you go back, give Miss Chang'an the [Yiwei Ting] your father left for you. I think she is not suitable for our Yan family's [Chun Hui Yan]. As for how much she can practice, it depends on Miss Chang'an herself."
Yan Ruyu nodded without any reluctance. After all, she knew that her father was a monk. He left a lot of things for her, and none of them could be used by her. There was nothing else.
Yan Yunxiao originally planned to let Yan Ruyu go back, but when he looked at his daughter, he suddenly thought that it seemed like it had been a long time since the mother and daughter had a chat like this, so he thought for a while and asked, "Ms. Chang'an, have you chosen a name for your sword?"
Yan Ruyu nodded immediately after hearing this: "It's done. At first, I was going to call him something like Baqianliu. They said it sounded powerful and that he was a powerful character. When we fight, we can just say his name and maybe scare the opponent away. But then he said that the name didn't suit his temperament and that it sounded a bit second-rate and embarrassing. I didn't understand either. But in the end, he named him 'Xiangsizi'."
Yan Yunxiao was stunned: "Red beans?"
Yan Ruyu nodded and said, "It is said that red beans grow in the south. In spring, they sprout a few branches and what else is there? I hope you can pick more of them. This is the most nostalgic thing."
Yan Yunxiao thought about it for a while, then said, "Well, I didn't understand."
But watching Yan Ruyu explain to her, Yan Yunxiao did not expect anything. He just looked at his daughter and said without scolding her, "Read more books with Miss Chang'an. When you named your sword, I asked Mu Xu to give it to you. If you read more and come up with a name like Miss Chang'an, you can write a poem about it. Who knows, people in the martial arts world may call you the Sword Fairy or something like that in the future."
But when Yan Yunxiao tasted it carefully, Daoxian'er, well, that sounds a bit harsh.
Not as good as her 'Crazy Blade'.
But what should she call this silly girl? Well, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, this girl is silly, and she has no intention of letting her hang out in the underworld.
…
Five days in a row.
There are a lot of things, both big and small.
Su Changan thinks his own affairs are all trivial matters.
Everything else is a big deal.
Su Changan has been practicing swordplay and calligraphy every day for the past five days.
On the first day, he only swung his sword 10,000 times a day, and when he practiced calligraphy he was also thinking about writing 10,000 words.
But after the first day, he suddenly felt that he had no talent for calligraphy, and it seemed that he had no talent for swordplay either. He definitely couldn't do this if he was so lazy.
I simply increased the number and found my own rhythm for practicing swordplay and calligraphy, and then thought that once I got used to the rhythm, I would increase it.
And today.
It means that you have to swing the sword 15,000 times every day. There is no limit on the number of words you can practice, and you can practice for more than two hours.
Yan Ruyu and others were not surprised at all that Su Changan was so diligent.
After all, after living together in the Su Mansion for so long, they have already realized that Miss Chang'an gets up at noon every day and feels tired if she moves a little more, but in fact it is just due to her leisurely personality.
It has nothing to do with the word "lazy".
On the contrary, he is extremely stubborn when it comes to doing something, and has the determination that he will not succeed unless he does it well.
Over the past few days, Su Changan had a vague feeling, wondering if Yan Yunxiao wanted him to control his strength, but it was just a guess.
So over the past few days, Su Changan has been trying hard to control his strength to do these two things.
Five days
The empress did not come every day. She only came four times in five days. She did not come one time because she was delayed by something in the court, so she asked someone to tell Su Changan.
However, Su Changan still prepared food for the empress that time. He waited until midnight, and only ate the dishes himself after he was sure that the empress would not come.
The next day, the empress found out and called Su Changan an idiot.
Su Changan smiled and said, "I was afraid you would come over at night, so I waited a little longer."
The empress was so angry that she cursed for a long time, but she felt warm and sweet in her heart.
Later, the empress lay on the bed thinking about this, and she was laughing foolishly. It seemed like a small thing, but it made her happy.
Naturally, Su Changan would cook different dishes for the empress every day.
However, the empress had a special liking for spicy and sour pork tenderloin and sweet and sour pork, but Su Changan only cooked them for her once in five days.
This made the empress quite unhappy.
But I also know that Su Changan doesn't often cook those things for me, actually it is also to protect myself.
After all, with her status, she couldn't just reveal her favorite dishes.
but
Su Changan also kept preparing new dishes for the empress. For example, he asked Xia Xia and the others to bring sweet potatoes and some sweet potato noodles, intending to make hot and sour noodles for the empress.
I even pickled some bamboo shoots and cabbage, thinking of trying snail noodles later.
But there was one thing that Su Changan was not satisfied with about the Empress.
That is, every time Su Changan wanted to kiss, the empress would beat him or just walk away cursing.
This made Su Changan a little depressed.
And every time a new dish was cooked, the palace people like Xuanxia were very curious.
Especially after spending these five days together, the four of them have become particularly close to Miss Chang'an, the eldest lady they serve. It's as if they have known her for a long time and feel very close to her, so they are no longer as reserved and cautious in their words as they were at the beginning.
But of course they still showed respect for her, especially when they saw Miss Chang'an's frail body practicing sword skills and writing constantly every day, even when she was sweating. Several palace maids respected Su Chang'an even more.
He thought that a life of fine clothes and delicious food was comfortable enough and that he could just lie down and kill time every day, but he still worked so hard. It was really amazing.
Especially seeing how friendly Su Changan was to others.
He even had disrespectful thoughts and felt that compared to the Empress Dowager who talked to herself in the palace all day and occasionally yelled and cursed, Miss Chang'an was more suitable to be the head of the harem.
certainly
Su Changan also received a letter from Su Wan'er.
It was entrusted to Su Zimu, who then passed it to Su Changan through the people of the Chixia Army.
In the letter, Su Wan'er talked about a lot of trivial things that happened in the Su Mansion after Su Chang'an left.
For example, Su Linhan was preparing for the winter examination, saying that she wanted to pass it in one go and get the top spot in the list of Jinshi, and then become an official in the palace.
And Su Liheng, who he rarely saw all day, was always cheerful and proud when he saw him, saying that he would be a royal merchant in the future. However, he was beaten by Su Zifeng for showing off like this, and was also called by his grandfather to be taught a lesson. After that, he kept a low profile.
It was also said that Su Zhaoxin now spends every day either taking care of the horses or sitting in Yimeiyuan and thinking about what he wants to do. He also reads, but he falls asleep every time he reads. However, he still tries hard to read now.
But Su Wan'er said that Su Zhaoxin would secretly go to the security guards to learn some martial arts without letting anyone know, but in fact everyone in the yard knew it, but no one said anything.
As for Su Liushi and Third Aunt, they dried flowers every day according to the method taught by Su Changan, and then arranged the flowers. However, sometimes the flowers were not dried well, and Third Aunt got a little angry.
It also wrote that without Su Changan, the whole Su family felt like there was a lack of laughter.
All of this was clearly stated in Su Wan'er's letter.
Besides the Su family's affairs
Su Wan'er also talked about some of the things happening outside.
For example, something happened at the Publishing House, saying that many people were unwilling to buy because Su Changan's poems were no longer there, and many people said that the Publishing House was not worth reading. In particular, Su Zifeng once said that Xun Siye was almost crying.
Also, Su Wan'er said that a chivalrous hero came to Nanmingfang and set up a fighting arena, which was very exciting. She went to watch it with Su Liheng and Su Zhaoxin, but it was a pity that Su Chang'an was not there.
In addition to this, there was a storyteller who made up stories about Su Changan, and he made up three stories in total!
Su Wan'er went to listen to it, but didn't like it because the story described Su Chang'an as a resentful girl, which she didn't like. She felt that Su Chang'an was cheerful every day and had nothing to do with resentment.
Because of this, Su Zhaoxin even made a scene, and finally the storyteller changed the story.
It was only at the end of the letter that Su Wan'er talked about her own affairs.
She begged her grandfather to let her live in Yimei Courtyard, alone, and then promised Su Changan in a letter that she would clean the yard from top to bottom every day and wait for her elder sister to come back.
She also said that she would read the book once every day and then think about it sentence by sentence. She found it really useful and would read and copy books in this way in the future.
And also
Su Wan'er said that Yuan Ruxi wanted to teach her sword skills and her grandfather agreed. She was hesitating whether to learn or not and wanted to ask Su Chang'an for advice.
Mr. Shuiyun wanted to take her in as a student and teach her how to read, write and paint. She agreed, saying that she wanted to learn the tricks. Once she had mastered the tricks, she would tell Su Changan how to write beautifully, so that Su Changan would not be criticized for his ugly handwriting.
The last of the last.
Su Wan'er asked about Su Chang'an's illness and what the palace doctors and female physicians said.
He also asked when Su Changan would be back.
She recently read a book and learned a line: "Living with good people is like entering a room full of orchids. After a long time, you will naturally become fragrant."
She felt it made sense, because without Su Changan in Meiyuan, something felt wrong.
Then he reminded Su Changan in a somewhat contradictory manner that it was okay not to come back yet, and that he must take good care of his illness. Treatment was the most important thing, and other things were trivial.
After reading the letter.
Su Changan was silent for a moment, but then smiled again, with some joy.
But of course I have to reply.
In the letter, Su Changan did not directly ask Su Wan'er to learn swordsmanship, but asked Su Wan'er to think about whether she wanted to learn. If she wanted to learn, she could go. If she didn't want to learn, she didn't have to. This was a big deal, and she couldn't listen to other people's opinions.
At the same time, he listed some of the advantages and disadvantages of learning sword, allowing the little girl to decide for herself.
certainly
Also told her not to disturb Su Zhaoxin.
But you can go and scold Su Liheng.
Then he also said that he was in good health and that he was also working hard to practice calligraphy. He told Su Wan'er to learn well from Mr. Shuiyun and to compare whose handwriting was better when they met in the future.
In addition, some interesting things in the palace were also mentioned, such as seeing so many palace servants suffering from diarrhea on the first day.
Until the end anyway.
The content of the reply letter was more than what Su Wan'er wrote.
Such as some words spoken to everyone in the Su Mansion, and some words telling Old Master Su what to do if there was something wrong with his health.
It seems to be all about family matters, but when Su Changan writes it, he always feels comfortable and doesn't find it too wordy.
In the very end, Su Changan also told Su Wan'er to help him guard Yimeiyuan.
But after thinking about it, I crossed out this sentence.
Judging from the current situation, next time I move, I might go directly to Shoukang Palace instead of returning to the Su Mansion.
So, it was changed to, 'Live with good people' is true, but I hope Su Wan'er can become a 'good person' in the eyes of others, instead of just looking at herself.
After writing the letter, he gave it to Zhou Qianhong, asking her to go to the Su Mansion.
Su Changan became a little sentimental. He felt that when one forms a bond with someone, all kinds of emotions would come to his mind, a mixture of sadness and joy.
But after thinking about it
Su Changan didn't think about it anymore. After all, thinking too much would be a waste of time.
I feel inexplicably sad.
What's more, I have to cook for the empress!
After a busy day, Su Changan felt distressed when he didn't get to eat right away when he came back.
