He thought for a moment." I'll look after it myself. If I don't look at things and read, I'll become stupid sooner or later.”
"You're not stupid to have such thoughts.”
She went to the table and peeled an orange for him.""These tangerines are especially delicious, but you can't eat too much.”
"Father, what did the letter say?" Ever since she called him father that day, she felt that he had changed. He was especially kind and close to people. Perhaps it was because he had removed that burden, and he no longer had to keep a straight face.
"It's your Martial Uncle. That old man is really lively. He said that he's already here and will be able to reach the Ice Mystic Sect in a few days.”His father looked happy.
Now that he was old, he was very happy to meet up with old friends.
"Old Master is in good health. The last time I saw him, he was still jumping around happily. I wonder if he came alone or with his daughter?”Hehe, allow me to be petty. I was like this in the modern world.
" Oh…" His father thought about it for a moment before he looked at the letter." It didn't say anything, but I want to see Dream Clouds. She should have grown into a big girl, right?"”
" What a little brat…" He rolled his eyes and picked up " History of the Four Directions " to flip through.
When Father saw that I was ignoring him, he coaxed me,"Ji 'er…you're still the best daughter-in-law…"
" Oh…" She dragged out her voice." So there's something better?”
" Ah, no, no." He scratched his head." Father never planned to let her marry Yue 'er…That girl's temper is too crafty, and she has been spoiled since she was young. Anyway, Father doesn't like it…"
These words made me smile. I'm not a generous woman. It's necessary to be petty!
"Father, what do you want to eat? Ji 'er will personally cook for you!”
" Hey…good girl." He smacked his lips." I ate the pastries you made that day. They were really delicious…"
"Father," he suddenly had an idea,"when is father's birthday?"”
He thought for a while and told me,"I really forgot. I've been busy all these years. I'm the only one at home. Yue 'er doesn't pay attention to these things, so I forgot."”
Although he said so, I knew that he must be feeling bitter in his heart. The sect master of such a big sect actually didn't even have a birthday celebration every year. He must be extremely lonely. I can imagine how lonely he has been these years. It's only right for him to defend himself.
"Father, how about this? When the old master comes, Ji 'er will prepare a birthday celebration for you to make up for the regret that you haven't had in so many years. Ji' er will definitely make you happy.”He was actually quite confident when he boasted to his father. His old friend was here, and he had retired. His son and daughter-in-law were both here. There was no reason for him to be unhappy. He must be quite happy.
" Alright, alright." Father put down the letter." Father will be waiting for Ji 'er's birthday celebration. Ji' er can't lie to me!"”
"Father!" She glared at him and laughed." When did Ji 'er lie to Father? Besides, Ji' er hasn't had a Father for many years. Now that he's back, he's extremely happy. Of course, he wants to do this."”
When the old man arrived, I was making dumplings in the kitchen. My face was pale and I was enjoying myself.
" Miss Xia," Mei Li came in," the Sect Master has called you to receive Sect Master Yao."”
" Oh, okay." She put down the noodles in her hand and instructed the servant girl beside her." When the noodles are ready, call Nanny Liu over. After the dumplings are done, leave a portion for everyone. Treat it as a reward for everyone."”She hurriedly went back to her room to wash her face and change her clothes.
The old man was already impatient in the main hall. When he saw me, he complained,"Your hospitality isn't very good. I'll admit that the old ghost didn't come, but you and Yue 'er didn't come! Why should I?!"
"Old Master, Xuan Yue didn't come today because she blamed you!”I teased him with a smile.
"What does he blame me for?" The old man felt strange.
"What? Old Master, you really don't remember? Today is my father's birthday! I want to celebrate my birthday!" He sized her up." You really didn't bring a birthday gift?”
" Aiyo," the old man scratched the back of his head." Why didn't I know that it was his birthday today? I didn't forget, I forgot!"”
She pouted and looked at him.”
"You little girl!" The old man blew his beard and glared at me, making me want to laugh.
"Martial Uncle!" Shui Xuanyue walked over and smiled when she saw the old man." Senior Uncle, I've just learned that you're here. Ji 'er, bring Senior Uncle to see Father. Senior Uncle, Father misses you so much."”
The old man looked at Shui Xuanyue in confusion. When he saw me laughing, he came to a realization,""What a good girl, you lied to me!"
Shui Xuanyue and I stood at the door of the room. Father said that he wanted to be alone with the old man, so we came out to wait. Suddenly, we saw a person in pink walking over.
"Brother Xuan Yue!" " Brother Mystic Moon, I'm here."”
Can you think about my expression…
" Dream Clouds." He pushed her away." Uncle Master and Father are talking inside. Be quiet."”
"Big Brother Xuan Yue, I missed you so much, so I came over together. Just now, I bought your favorite drunk duck with Brother Shisan at the inn.”Yao Mengyun's cute little face made people feel awkward.
Hmph, he turned his face and was about to leave when he was pulled back."Isn't this Ji 'er jiejie? jiejie, your big brother is fine with us.”She tugged at the corner of my shirt and refused to let me leave.
He pulled back his clothes and put on a fake smile.”He left without looking back.
He just didn't like seeing Shui Xuanyue with other women, not even when they were standing together! I know I'm jealous, but I can't control it! This brat still came!
"Daddy, try it. This is Ji 'er's favorite taste!”She placed a plate of dumplings in front of her father. Hot dumplings were the most suitable to eat in winter.
"So this is what Ji 'er was talking about?" Let me try it!" As he spoke, he picked one up and put it in his mouth.
"Aiya, be careful, it's hot!" The dumplings had just been cooked!
"It's not hot!" Dad was very happy. Ji 'er, your cooking skills are not bad!"
" What do you mean 'not bad'? Isn't it made by a chef?" A small voice sounded, but it was still very clear. Yao Mengyun lowered her head and sat beside Shui Xuanyue.
"Nonsense!" The old man glared at her." This was made by your Sister Ji 'er!”
He pretended not to care and sat on the other side to eat dumplings!
As they ate, they heard the old man say,""Old ghost, Yue 'er is already so big and Yun' er isn't young anymore. I was thinking if we should arrange a marriage for them this time?”
He looked up at the old man in shock. Could this be the purpose of his visit this time?
Yao Mengyun lowered her head shyly and said sweetly,""Dad…I'm eating…"
"It's okay, old ghost. You said that we're brothers. Shouldn't we, as fathers, make the decision for this child's matter? Yun 'er has relied on Yue' er since she was young. Now that the two of them are married, aren't we even closer?”The old man was still smiling, and the atmosphere was not awkward at all.
Father opened his mouth and looked at me apologetically.
The old man directly ignored the issue of seniority and only treated them as friends. Naturally, there was no incest. He also said that the two children had been good since they were young and that there was a possibility of them getting married.
"Uncle-master, Yue 'er does like Dream Clouds very much, but it's only because she likes Junior Sister.”Shui Xuanyue put down her chopsticks with a serious expression.
The old man smiled awkwardly.”
"Okay…but…"
"Then marry my daughter! I've held her in my hands since she was young!”The old man didn't allow any further explanation.
At this moment, a servant rushed in from outside the door."Sect Master, Young Sect Master, someone from the capital has arrived!”
Before his father could say anything, an armored man walked in."Pass on the imperial edict."
All of us knelt down.
"By the Emperor's decree, how dare you, Shui Xuanyue, snatch my woman!”
When he heard this, his entire body turned cold.'I forgot. I've escaped, but he can punish Shui Xuanyue…'
"But seeing that you are loyal to me, I will give you a chance to change. The border guards of my country have invaded and killed my people. I order you to gather the heroes of the martial arts world and go to the border to eradicate the Tuoba family! If you don't obey, I will punish you with death and take her back! I'm honored."
Shui Xuanyue did not say a word and took the imperial edict with both hands. The servant immediately stuffed the silver taels into his mouth and asked the general to rest here for a few days. The general retreated and left immediately.
"Big brother Xuan Yue, the person you love, is she the emperor's concubine? Are you Miss Xia?" Yao Mengyun stood up and pointed at me.
I hate it when people point at me. I open it with one hand, but my hand hurts like hell.
"Oh, so you're just the emperor's concubine. Brother Xuan Yue, you're not even willing to marry me when I'm married to such a woman?”
What do you mean by the Emperor's concubine! What do you mean by this kind of woman!
Anger filled his head…Just as he was about to speak, the old man stopped him."Since it's Ji 'er, it's even easier. Ji' er…after Yue 'er and Yun' er get married, I'll definitely let you marry Yue 'er. You have a good temper and can help Yun' er take care of Yue 'er.”
This old man was very good in other matters, but he was arbitrary in his daughter's matters and did not care about other people's thoughts at all. At this moment, I can only place my hopes on Father. It seems like Shui Xuanyue can't make the decision.
" Father…" She looked at him pitifully.
" Cough…" Father looked at the old man helplessly." Yue 'er's mother told me in the early years that Yue' er would be the one to decide on her marriage in the future. You know that I dote on her mother.”
The old man's expression was a little ugly. He didn't expect his father to bring up Yao Yue. This wouldn't be good.
Instead of questioning Shui Xuanyue, the old man said to me,""Ji 'er, Yun' er is my only daughter.”
