Chapter 32: Whose Fate Depends on It?

After hearing what he said, Lady Jiansan couldn't help but cover up her sleeves and laugh.

Zhou Shengchen was surprised, and Shiyi didn't understand what was going on.

After laughing, Miss Jiansan said goodbye to Zhou Shengchen without explaining anything, and then quickly took Jiao Shiyi's hand and went back to the courtyard where she lived.

Back in the house, she couldn't help but laugh when she remembered what happened just now.

Infected by her, Jian Shiyi also laughed and asked, "What's wrong with mother?"

At least she couldn't hold back her laughter. She wiped away the tears from her laughter and said, "Your Highness is so kind, but he is either used to being unruly or he just doesn't understand these etiquette. You are his apprentice, and it's okay to live in the palace." . I’m not his wife, so how can I keep living here?”

"What's going on?" Jian Shiyi asked in confusion.

"Silly boy." Madam Jiansan stopped laughing and clapped her hand and said, "Don't you understand? If I were to stay for a long time, wouldn't I become in-laws with him and become mother-in-law! Even mother-in-law wouldn't I live in my son-in-law’s house for a long time.”

"Hey, I thought what was going on, my mother was overthinking it. Didn't my father also live in Yang's house for a long time?" Yang Shiyi said nonchalantly, and then became sad because he thought of his father.

The third lady, however, was ashamed of her slip of the tongue - her daughter and Xiao Nanchen Wang were obviously masters and disciples, how could she say something about "in-laws" and "mother-in-law"! Fortunately, my daughter is innocent, otherwise how embarrassing it would be!

Mother and daughter stopped joking and hugged each other in a daze.

No matter how ignorant Miao Shiyi is, he still understands what his mother accidentally said. Maybe she didn't realize it at the time, but she would understand it later.

Thinking of King Xiao Nanchen's heroic demeanor, she was in a trance for a moment.

There were too many worries and worries in the world, so she simply thought: It would be great if she could stand at the highest point of the palace with Prince Xiao Nanchen, like the legendary immortals. The two of them flew away together, ignoring all the troubles...

"Shi Yi, what should you do if the sect leader doesn't agree to your stay?" Lady Jiansan said, feeling sad in her heart.

Nao Shiyi came to his senses and could not answer this.

Silently leaving his mother's arms, Shiyi stared blankly.

Seeing her daughter looking at her like this, Mrs. Yang suddenly felt a sense of alienation and strangeness.

"Mom, sit down for a moment, I'll go for a walk." After that, Yu Shiyi walked out of the house in silence.

Looking at her back, Madam Jiansan sighed and said to herself: I say she is a child because in her mother's eyes, she will not always be a child. But if you look at it like this, the smart-minded and slim-figured Miao Shiyi is also an adult.

Yan Shiyi walked out of the house, first stood in the yard and meditated for a long time, and then walked slowly to Zhou Shengchen's study.

Seeing her approaching, Zhou Shengchen put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "You and your daughter just made me laugh so hard that I don't know why."

Jian Shiyi smiled and nodded, walked to him and sat down.

Her silence made him anxious.

"Eleven, if you have anything to say, just say it." He comforted.

"My mother and I were laughing, but it was just a family matter. After I went back, I heard my mother ask me what I should do if the sect leader didn't agree. I couldn't answer, so I came to ask the master." After that, she said seriously. Pray to the ground.

After a moment of reflection, Zhou Shengchen looked at her and said, "Of course we must abide by some laws and family mottos when we live in this world. But if these are unreasonable, how can we ignore the existence of mistakes?"

"But," Yan Shiyi cried, "I feel that my destiny can only be bound by these, and I have never really made the decision."

Patting her hand, Zhou Shengchen comforted and said: "Eleven, yes. You are very brave. Maybe you don't even think it yourself, but it shocked me. For example, in order to wait for the king's army to return victoriously, you dared to climb Go up to such a high roof."

When Jian Shiyi heard what he said, he couldn't help but smile with tears in his eyes: "I'm looking at my king."

She blurted out, her face suddenly turning red.

Not answering her words to avoid further embarrassment, Zhou Shengchen continued: "Take control of your own destiny, start here."

As he spoke, he pointed to his chest.

Subconsciously following his actions, Jian Shiyi also pointed to her chest: "Here?"

"Yes. Listen carefully to what your heart says," Zhou Shengchen nodded and said, "Don't be influenced by others."

Jian Shiyi nodded, remembering the grievances he had suffered in the past, and couldn't help but wipe his tears again.

Zhou Shengchen was worried that she was too sad, so he couldn't help but put his arm around her shoulders and patted her gently to comfort her.

Both of them were speechless. Madam Jiansan came to look for her daughter, but she just looked away.

Not daring to go in, she quickly exited the house and hurried back.

After a long time, Jian Shiyi calmed down and looked up at him.

"Let's go to the roof again!" Zhou Shengchen suggested with a smile.

"Okay." Yu Shiyi immediately agreed with a smile.

The two of them came out of the study hand in hand. Zhou Shengchen called the attendant, moved the ladder to the side of the house, and leaned against the roof tiles.

He held out his hand and she came closer with a smile. Holding her slender waist, Zhou Shengchen lifted his legs up the ladder.

Seeing the roof, Zhou Shengchen raised his right arm, and Nao Shiyi climbed onto the roof. Turning around, she stretched out her arm again and said with a smile, "I'll give Master a hand."

Zhou Shengchen smiled and borrowed a little help, then stood with her.

The two walked along the roof tiles to the ridge of the roof, and then looked back side by side at the inside and outside of Xizhou City.

The moon is bright and bright, and the wind is gentle and gentle.

The two of them simulated picking the stars with their hands, and then sat side by side on the ridge of the house. They competed with each other in reciting poems, and they talked and laughed happily.

In the yard, Miss Jiansan stood silently in the dark, looking up at the two people.

If these two people are master and apprentice, Zhou Shengchen seems to care more about Miao Shiyi; if these two people are lovers, Zhou Shengchen has already made a strong vow.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Yang could only comfort herself: Zhou Shengchen must have cared about her because she was young, and Ji Shiyi must have thought that her master was really good to her, so she was close to him. If not, what else could it be? !

No longer thinking about it, Madam Jiao Sanniang hurriedly walked towards the yard where she lived, but she saw Cheng Xi hurriedly approached and reported: "Sanniang Sanniang, there is a letter from Qinghe County."

Reciting the Buddha's name in her heart, the uneasy Lady Jiansan took the letter and hurriedly walked back into the house.

Cheng Xi followed her in and saw that she was just in a daze after reading the letter. After thinking about it, Cheng Xi quickly left the house and went to the main courtyard of the palace to find Miao Shiyi.

Hearing Cheng Xi's shout, Yu Shiyi lowered his head and looked down.

"The sect master has sent a letter, and Sanniang is reading it right now." Cheng Xi shouted loudly.

Shiyi suddenly felt flustered again and turned to look at Zhou Shengchen: "Master, I,"

"Believe me first. Besides, didn't you say that you have to obey this?" Zhou Shengchen pointed to his chest with a smile.

"Yeah." Jian Shiyi nodded vigorously and mustered up the courage to stand up.

Then he carried her down the ladder from the roof and placed her on the ground. Zhou Shengchen watched her walk quickly back to her mother.

Sitting carefully next to his mother, Jian Shiyi asked in a low voice: "Mom, what did uncle say in his letter?"

Lady Jiansan looked at her expressionlessly and said, "What do you think?"

"I must stay here." Yang Shiyi first replied in the affirmative, and then analyzed and said, "My uncle was once a Taifu, so he would naturally pay attention to state affairs. And because he was a Taifu, he naturally knew how to respect his master, You can't give up halfway. And because he is a master, he knows etiquette and can't break his oath."

After she said it in one breath, Miss Jiansan also smiled: "You are very clear and logical, but..."

When Ao Shiyi saw the change in his mother's words, his face immediately turned pale.

Looking at her daughter's face, Lady Jiansan asked seriously, "What if uncle doesn't agree?"

Tears immediately welled up in his eyes. He choked and said, "Does mother have to make me laugh? My uncle obviously agreed."

Listening to her words, Lady Jiansan was also surprised: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because that's what I was thinking about." Yu Shiyi pointed to his chest.

What she meant was that she would definitely listen to her inner thoughts and would never go back no matter what, but she couldn't explain it directly.

Lady Jiansan thought she had guessed the result, and couldn't help but smile: "Your uncle is indeed what you thought. Although he is worried and reluctant to let go of you three children, he still agrees with King Xiao Nanchen's opinion."

"Really?" Yu Shiyi asked in surprise before her tears were wiped dry.

"Yes. Didn't you guess it all just now?" Lady Jiansan was also surprised.

She immediately smiled, hugged her and said, "Mother, thank you."

The mother and daughter talked and laughed for a while, but Shiyi cried again because he was reluctant to leave his mother alone.

Patting her on the back, Madam Jiansan said to herself: "As a mother, I have to rush back to Qinghe County to help the clan master handle clan affairs. Your uncle is old and in bad health."

Kao Shiyi was in trouble again, but Lady Kao Sanniang had already thought it through: Kao Shiyi, Kao Feng, Kao Shou and others did not need to go back to Qinghe County. I went back and just avoided. And if they stay with King Xiao Nanchen, if something unexpected happens, who would dare to trouble them?

King Xiao Nanchen favored these three people and did not even agree to the request of the relatives of the Yu family. Let me ask, who can take these three people away from him? !

Having made up her mind, Miss Jiansan just smiled secretly and secretly hated herself for not marrying Prince Xiao Nanchen as soon as possible. Otherwise, not to mention yourself, even Guang Guang could come to the palace in Xizhou to take refuge or take a break.

Without stopping any longer, she packed her luggage, took a group of attendants and maids, and prepared to leave the palace.

Going to say goodbye to King Xiao Nanchen, she thanked him repeatedly for taking care of the people of the Miao clan.

"I am now the master of Shiyi, and the two generals are working under the tent. Why don't I take care of you? Even the third lady, I have to take more care of you." After saying that, he immediately ordered the military advisor Xie Chong, General Xie Yun was arranged to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to personally escort Lady Jiao San back to Qinghe County.

"It really doesn't have to be like this. Your Highness has good intentions, but with so many soldiers and horses following, it may not be easy to pass through the passes along the way." Lady Jiansan said with a salute.

Zhou Shengchen waved his hands carelessly and said: "Mom of Shiyi, what's wrong with me sending you off politely? Three thousand soldiers and horses are not too many. After arriving at Qinghe County, just let them patrol back from the direction of Daizhou. .”

Lady Jiansan felt that the hospitality was hard to refuse, so Military Advisor Xie Chong immediately agreed to go and sign the customs clearance document, and then ordered Xie Yun to lead troops to escort.

After the arrangements were made, Zhou Shengchen took Yang Shiyi dozens of miles outside the city before reluctantly saying goodbye to Mrs. Yang.

With great gratitude, Mrs. Jiansan bowed and waved away.

With tears in her eyes, Shi Shiyi watched the vehicle carrying her mother disappear, and couldn't help crying on Zhou Shengchen's shoulder.

After comforting her, Zhou Shengchen took a carriage back to the city with her.

As the year passed, Kao Shiyi secretly calculated her mother's itinerary, guessing that she had not returned to Qinghe County yet and was looking gloomy because she missed her mother.

Zhou Shengchen comforted us: "We are separated for a short time, but we will be together for a longer time in the future."

Jian Shiyi looked up at him and couldn't help but hold on to his sleeves, worried that he would leave too.

"I see that you are in a unstable mood, and you must be worried about Sanniang's safety along the way. Why don't we go to the temple to pray together, which can be regarded as doing our best." Zhou Shengchen suggested, and Piao Shiyi immediately nodded in agreement.

There is no need for a large number of people. Zhou Shengchen and Shiyi, accompanied by Feng Qiao and others, go to the temple outside the city to offer incense.

Many refugees from other states and counties came to the temple and were temporarily resettled here.

Zhou Shengchen ordered his entourage to stay outside the temple, and only took Jian Shiyi and Feng Qiao into the mountain gate.

When Nao Shiyi saw that there were refugees in the temple, he couldn't help but feel pity for these people. He also felt that although he was also away from his relatives, he always felt at ease with my king by his side.

Accompanied by the monk Zhike, everyone entered the Mahavira Hall. They saw a layman sitting in Zen in front of the Buddha statue, who was ordained by the first monk in the temple.

Zhou Shengchen naturally knew this person, but after looking at him, neither of them told him yet.

"Let's go to other halls to offer incense." After Zhou Shengchen said this, he walked out of the hall with Nao Shiyi in his arms.

Feng Qiao, who was standing next to her, had noticed something unusual in the expressions of the master and the man who had been ordained.

She didn't speak yet, she just stood aside quietly.

After the man had finished his tonsure, Feng Qiao approached with a cold face and shouted: "Where are you from? Do you have the customs clearance documents?"

The man clasped his hands indifferently and said: "The poor monk came with the refugees and just wants to live in the temple."

"That means yes, maybe you're careful?!" Feng Qiao said, immediately approaching.

The man dodged for a moment. Feng Qiao was worried that he would make a dangerous move, so she immediately snatched the razor from the first monk's hand and shouted to the man: "Follow me back to the camp! If nothing happens, I will personally send you back to the temple! If you It’s really careful, so I have no choice but to stay in the camp!”

"It's a coincidence that we met by chance." The man didn't panic at all, he just smiled indifferently, clasped his hands and walked out of the hall.

Feng Qiao was about to escort him back, but before she knew it, four strong men came closer.

The four people saluted the man together and said, "Please follow us back."

The man just remained silent, but Feng Qiao felt something strange and quickly put the razor across the man's neck.

"General Feng, don't worry." After Zhou Shengchen said that, he walked forward with calm steps.

The man looked slightly anxious, but after thinking about it, he gave up telling Zhou Shengchen to "be careful".

When the four men saw another person coming, they were all anxious and stepped forward to snatch that person.

"Just keep an eye on this monk." Zhou Shengchen said to Feng Qiao and immediately faced the four of them.

Jian Shiyi looked extremely nervous and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Highness, be careful!"
