Ranran was a little surprised. When she wanted to push the door in, Su Yishui pulled her collar and made her stand behind him.
When Su Yishui pushed open the door, Ranran tiptoed over her master's shoulder and saw that it was the disciples of Kongshan School sitting in her yard.
Because Wen Hongshan, who had a scar on his face, was also stunned when he saw Su Yishui pushing the door in.
Because Su Yishui was wearing a mask, she naturally couldn't recognize him at first. But when she saw Yuchen and Yutong beside him, and looked at his figure carefully, she recognized him.
Wen Hongshan's voice was trembling a little, and she said softly: "Yi Shui, you are finally here."
Ran Ran stood beside her master at this time, looking at the Kongshan Sect disciples who filled the yard. Thinking that this Immortal Wen almost became her master's wife, her tone of accusation lessened a little.
She glanced at her master beside her to see if he wanted to reminisce about the past with Master Wen.
However, the master was wearing a mask and looked expressionless, as if he didn't want to take the initiative to say hello.
Wen Hongshan, on the other hand, couldn't help but look surprised and asked, "How did you know I was here? What do you want from me..."
At this moment, Mrs. Huang from next door came over enthusiastically, pulled Ranran and said, "Hey, Ranran, why are you back? Where are your parents?"
Ran Ran politely greeted Huang Po and explained that she was the only one back. Then she asked, "Mrs. Huang, may I ask why someone came into my house?"
When it comes to this, Huang Po is a little embarrassed, but thinking that Ran Ran is young and easy to fool, she smiled and said, "Recently, many people want to rent a house and offer a lot of money. I think it's a pity for your house to be empty, so I rented it out for your family. I will meet your mother later and give her money for the house... Miss Wen doesn't like to be disturbed by outsiders. How many days are you going to come back? My empty house has also been rented out... How about living in the same house with you, mother-in-law?"
Although Ran Ran was young, she was very smart and could read people's expressions. She understood immediately - Wen Hong Shan had rented the house at a high price, and Granny Huang had no house to rent, so she wanted to take over her yard, so she broke the lock without permission and rented the house to the Kongshan Sect.
After figuring this out, Ran Ran stopped being polite and asked her mother-in-law with a smile, "My mother didn't seem to ask you to help take care of the rent for the house before she left. How did you open the door without a key when the lock was so thick?"
Huang Pozi was speechless and could not think of a word for a while. When Yuchen first came to this village, he was given a bucket of swill by this woman. Now he said unceremoniously: "Breaking into someone else's house without permission is against the law. I don't think it's as simple as returning the rent, right?"
At this moment, Su Yishui, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Miss Wen, the owner of the house is back, please take your people and move."
Wen Hongshan had just heard the general situation and knew that Mrs. Huang had rented out someone else's house without permission. If that was the case, it would be easy to solve. At most, she could just give the owner some money.
But she never expected that the young lady who owned the house did not say anything, but Su Yishui was the first to speak.
Wen Hongshan knew that she was mistaken, Su Yishui was not looking for her at all.
This boiling heart was poured with a basin of cold water. Wen Hong fanned her lips tightly and turned to Xue Ranran and said, "I'm really sorry, little girl. How about this? We have already settled down and it is really difficult to move. I might as well double the original rent as compensation."
Xue Ranran felt it was inappropriate to interfere in her master's emotional past, so she decided to pass the hot potato to her mentor.
So she replied obediently: "I don't mind, but my master has no place to live now, and as his disciple, I should give my house to my master and his uncles and brothers to live in... Otherwise, you can ask my master if he is willing to live in the same courtyard with you?"
It is not uncommon for couples to quarrel over misunderstandings. When Xue Ranran was idle in the village, she would often see quarrels between boys and girls.
If there is a misunderstanding, just resolve it. As a disciple, she naturally wants to help her master to build bridges and make it happen, and it would be best if the former lovers can tell their past love and become a fairy couple.
The road has been paved, and we just need to wait for the master to give the nod and then we can go down the slope.
Unexpectedly, when Wen Hongshan looked at his master with hope, the masked man just said coldly: "Yuchen, show me away!"
Yu Chen always obeyed his master, so he waved his hand and said to the people of Kongshan Sect who filled the yard: "Please move aside and go ask for rent from the woman who broke into the house without permission!"
Ran Ran stole a glance at Miss Wen, only to see that her face was pale, with a look of utter despair. She said hesitantly, "Yi Shui, you still won't forgive me? I... didn't mean to lie to you at the beginning..."
Su Yishui didn't say anything else, obviously unwilling to say another word.
At this time, the Kongshan School disciples behind her were dissatisfied and started to make a fuss: "We were here first, why should we give way to you!"
But Wen Hongshan said, "Shut up and follow me out!"
After Langxi picked up the prestige of the elder of Kongshan Sect, she left with a sullen face and a group of disciples without even looking back. One of the disciples grabbed Huang Pozi by the collar and went to her yard to ask for money.
Ran Ran ignored Mrs. Huang who was yelling about the villagers not giving him face. After locking the door, he went back to his room as if he was familiar with the way.
Perhaps the disciples of the Kongshan School thought it was a good deal, so they used this place as an inn, leaving the floor in a mess without even cleaning up.
She has always been a clean person and was not willing to share bedding with others. But now that her quilt was being shared with others, she had to wash the quilt cover and sheets to avoid leaving any foul smell.
Su Yishui sat on a rattan chair in the yard, watching his little apprentice, wearing an apron and rolled up his sleeves, busying around, sweeping the floor, watering, and after a while, wrapping up a pile of sheets to be washed.
But it was still a bit difficult for his thin arms, which had just gained some flesh, to carry the hammer and wash the sheets in the big basin.
Just now, Su Yishui sent Yuchen and Yutong to the foot of Jue Mountain to inquire about the situation, while Gaocang and the others cleaned the house where the master was going to live.
The master and the little junior sister have the same habit. They are not used to living in a house where the breath of outsiders has been left, and they need to clean it carefully.
After watching the young apprentice washing for a long time, Su Yishui asked casually, "You have washed all the sheets and quilts, what are you going to cover yourself with tonight?"
Ran Ran raised his head and wiped the sweat off his face, saying, "My mother brought me a thick jacket, and I sleep in it at night."
She paused and asked the master, "I have washed the sheets in both rooms. Master, do you have nothing to cover yourself with tonight?"
Although Master didn't seem to sleep much when he was in the West Mountain of Yongcheng, the war was imminent, so Master must have wanted to have a good rest.
Thinking that her master didn't have any cold-proof clothes, she quickly got up and went back to the house, took out her small flowered jacket and handed it to Su Yishui: "How about you cover yourself with this tonight? I'm still young and can resist the cold, so I can sleep with the clothes on."
Su Yishui was not grateful for his disciple's filial piety. He looked at the rustic pink shirt with a slightly critical look and said in a flat voice, "You mean I'm old?"
Hmm...how should I answer so as not to hurt the relationship between master and disciple?
If we calculate based on the age of ordinary people, Master should be around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, right?
For those who practice Taoism and transcend life and death, thirty or forty years old is just the entry age, which can be said to be youth.
Moreover, the master has great skills in appearance, so he has no problem pretending to be a teenager of eighteen or nineteen years old. He is indeed not similar to an old man.
Ran Ran has been likable since she was a child and has a lot of popularity with the elders, but she finds that she can never please her master no matter what. Her mentor always finds fault with her words.
Just as Ran Ran was thinking about how to praise the master for his youthful and handsome appearance without violating the first sect rule, the master stood up and said, "Let's go to the nearby market and buy some quilts."
Hearing that they were going to the market, Qiu Xier was overjoyed, so a few of her disciples simply packed up and followed Su Yishui out.
The market in the town sells local specialties from nearby villages, but the relatively scarce goods cannot stop people from enjoying shopping.
Gaocang Xier and other boys and girls also bought some food and drinks. Ranran, as a wealthy man with a few taels of silver, was reluctant to spend money and spent most of the time watching others eat.
Su Yishui stopped when passing by a clothing store and said to Ranran, who was following behind him and wearing a pink flowered shirt, "Let the tailor measure you and make you a new dress."
Ran Ran felt that the master was testing her out of the blue to see if she was extravagant and wasteful, so she immediately said, "Master, I have enough clothes. I don't need to make new ones."
Through the mask, two discerning eyes looked up and down at the rustic pink girl doll in front of them. Su Yiping said calmly: "Change it to something plain, it's unpleasant to the eyes..."
Ran Ran had no choice but to shut up after being criticized by her master for being ugly. But her own clothes were so beautiful, they were made of flowery fabric specially bought for her by her mother!
But young girls naturally like things with some color. Seeing Ran Ran stuck in the pile of colorful cloth and unable to get out, Su Yishui seemed unable to bear it any longer, so he went down to pick up the cloth for his disciple himself.
He rejected those rustic and vulgar colors and chose only a piece of moon-white cloth. He also ignored the clothing patterns that the tailor had kindly provided and directly drew the pattern of the gown he wanted to make, and asked the tailor to make it according to it.
Of course, the teachers treated everyone equally. Gao Cang, Bai Baishan, and Qiu Xier also made one each according to the model.
Because Su Yishui was so generous, the tailor could ignore the fact that he was wearing a strange mask. He smiled and promised to find more seamstresses and send them to the village house the next afternoon so that his disciples could wear new clothes.
In addition to clothes, there were also small items such as hairpins for girls, all of which were personally selected by Su Yishui. However, the prices of those small items were staggering.
According to the shopkeeper, these were valuable items brought in from the capital, but the place was small and no one knew the value of the items, so they had never been sold.
Ran Ran silently watched the master spend money like water, and felt that the old Lingjiu Palace rules had been inherited by someone else. Although the master was not very picky, he actually inherited the extravagant style of the female demon.
When he was particular, he would be very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. It was said that the second uncle vaguely said that he was the son of a prince, and that he was raised in wealth and luxury, so it was no wonder that when he was really particular, he would not compromise at all!
