You don't understand the fairy world

Chapter 21 The Great Master (1)
"It's terrible, it's terrible, it's terrible." Father Xiao sighed uneasily, "What should I do? How can I explain this to others?"

Huaiying saw that his complexion was not good, and she was very troubled in her heart. She wanted to tell Father Xiao several times, but Xiao Zidan restrained her with his eyes.

Xiao Zian blinked, looked at the two brothers and sisters curiously, and asked, "Brother Zidan, do you have something to hide from me?"

Xiao Zidan gave him a sideways glance, and said without changing his face: "Don't ask too much about our family affairs." He blocked Xiao Zian back with a single sentence.

The carriage turned around in the alley, and it took more than half an hour to arrive at the place.

After all, it is the Immortal Cave Mansion. In this place where every inch of land in the capital is precious, there is an empty small square outside the gate of the National Teacher’s Mansion. Along the wall is a row of tall old camphor trees. I don’t know how many years old. Lush leaves and green moss.There were two majestic stone lions squatting outside the vermilion gate, perhaps because of psychological effects, Huaiying always felt that the two lions were extraordinarily lively and ferocious, as if they were about to come alive at any moment, making people afraid to look at them.

There was no one guarding the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion, but as soon as the carriage stopped, the gate opened immediately, and three or four well-dressed servants and maidservants came out to welcome everyone from the Xiao family into the mansion respectfully.Among them, a servant girl in a blue jacket walked up to Huaiying calmly, and said in a low voice, "Miss Xiao, all blessings, I have been looking forward to it for many days, but I finally have you here. It is better for this water jar to be brought by a slave." Take it."

Huaiying hesitated for a moment, and Long Xining in the water urn flicked his tail lightly. He seemed to have no objection, so he nodded, handed the water urn to the little girl, and asked, "How long will it take for him to recover?"

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, and a slight dimple appeared on her chin: "Miss Xiao, don't worry, there is an adult here." After saying that, she easily walked away with the water jar in one hand.It wasn't until she was gone that Huaiying slapped her head. This little girl was really cunning and didn't answer her question at all.

However, the maid of the National Teacher's family may not be an ordinary maid, is she a little fairy?

Huaiying followed everyone into the door suspiciously.She originally thought that the Xiao family was considered a wealthy family, but now that she has arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, she knows what is beyond the sky. Even the beauties in the corridor are made of gorgeous sandalwood, not to mention the fairyland-like garden.

Long Xining and his third brother are really not afraid of causing trouble for a national teacher's mansion that is so arrogant and extravagant.What do the censors think of his ostentation?What will the emperor think?I don't know if the emperor knows his identity. If he doesn't know, he can make the current emperor favor him even more. His Highness the Third Dragon King really has some skills!

"Please wait a moment, my lords. My lord has gone to the palace, and it will take a while before he can return home." The little girl from the pear dimple appeared again at some point, smiling authentically, and then asked the servants to bring some snacks and fruits Let everyone pad their stomachs first.

Huaiying didn't quite believe what the maid said, but she didn't say anything, she lowered her head and drank tea slowly.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit dignified, Father Xiao was fidgeting, and looked outside from time to time, Xiao Zidan was calmer, seeing Father Xiao so nervous, he tried every means to find something to say.

After about a quarter of an hour, the sound of low footsteps finally came from behind the screen, and Father Xiao's heart immediately rose to his throat.Huaiying was a little nervous for no reason. What does the legendary Master Guoshi look like?Everyone stared at the huge screen with breathless concentration. The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. Seeing that they were about to arrive, the sound of footsteps suddenly stopped, and everyone's hearts stopped.

Slowly protruding from behind the screen is a small half-black head, big black eyes, white skin, and a high nose...

"Wulang!" Father Xiao jumped up from his seat, rushed forward in three steps at a time, and carried Long Xining out from behind the screen as soon as he stretched out his hand.Huaiying and Xiao Zidan were insiders. Although it was a bit unexpected, it was not too exaggerated. Xiao Zian stared at Long Xining stupidly with his mouth half open, and didn't know that his saliva was falling.

"Wulang, you're still alive! You...how did you...arrive in the capital? How did you come here?" Father Xiao was excited and pleasantly surprised, stroking Long Xining's body with his hands, as if he was still a little uncomfortable. Can't believe he's real.

It was rare for Long Xining not to lose his temper, so he let him touch it and said, "Uncle, you hurt me."

Father Xiao quickly retracted his hand, smiled embarrassedly, and said happily: "Okay, it's good to be back. You scared me to death. By the way, how did you come back? It wasn't that day..."

Long Xining glanced at Huaiying, and said nonsense: "My third brother sent someone to follow on the boat. That day... I was injured a little, and they sent me here in a hurry. They left in a hurry, but they didn't Say hello, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you're okay. Just remember to tell us next time, even if you can't find me, it's the same with Zidan and Huaiying. Otherwise, we should be more worried." Although Huaiying knew Xiao Father was so foolish, but he didn't expect him to be so easy to deceive, even Xiao Zian's face showed obvious suspicion, Xiao father didn't have any doubts at all, he pulled Long Xining to ask here and there with concern.

Long Xining accompanied them and talked for a while, but the Master of the State Teacher did not show up. After a long time, the little maidservant came over and explained: "There is something in the palace, Your Majesty has been detained by His Majesty."

Huaiying was a little disappointed when she heard the words, she also wanted to see how beautiful the legendary master Guoshi was born.

Under Long Xining's persuasion, everyone had lunch at the National Teacher's Mansion.Long Xining was not very happy to let them go, so he repeatedly tried to persuade them to stay, until finally he wished he could roll on the ground, and insisted on letting the Xiao family live in the National Teacher's Mansion.Father Xiao patiently talked with him for a long time, and promised him to find a yard in a few days before picking him up to live at home. Long Xining then pursed his mouth and let go of his hand unhappily.

When he acted unreasonably like a baby, all the servants of the National Teacher's Mansion watched in the hall with smiles on their faces, without any surprised expression on their faces, so calm that Huaiying couldn't help telling them secretly in his heart. Thumbs up.It's really worthy of being trained by His Highness the Third Highness of the Dragon King, it's just different from normal people like them.

When they arrived at the Xiao's house, the elders of the Xiao family had already returned from the yamen, and specially invited father Xiao and Xiao Zidan to talk, while Huaiying followed the servants to the wing room to settle down temporarily.

Master Xiao had already learned from his subordinates that Xiao Ling's family had been invited back by the National Teacher's Mansion, and he had a new understanding of them.Originally, they were just planning to give them a hand for the sake of being of the same clan, but now they can't wait to tie this family in the mansion.What is the status of the great master in the capital? Although he doesn't intervene in the government affairs very much, he is unambiguous in front of the saint. Even the emperor's confidantes like the Mo family are probably not as good. Xiao Ling's family got on the road by accident. It was really a blessing in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Mr. Xiao became more kind and friendly, and asked with concern if the journey was going well.Father Xiao excitedly talked about the appearance of the real dragon.Mr. Xiao was just asking casually, but he didn't expect such an unimaginable thing to come out, and he was immediately amazed.

"This...this...brother can't be mistaken, right?" Mr. Xiao couldn't believe it.

Father Xiao resolutely said: "It's not wrong, I'm not the only one who saw it, everyone on the ship saw it for real. If the real dragon didn't show up, we might have been murdered by those robbers long ago. Come back with your life."

Xiao Zitan next to him had his heart in his throat, for fear that he would tell the story of Long Xining's inexplicable reappearance after his disappearance.Fortunately, Father Xiao seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and kept only mentioning the real dragon, and Mr. Xiao's attention was all on it, and he didn't ask about anything else.

After chatting for an entire afternoon, Father Xiao finally felt dry and tired. Seeing this, Mr. Xiao asked his servants to lead them to the guest courtyard for a rest, and said: "Your family will stay in the parasol courtyard. If you have anything to say, tell the servants in the courtyard. We are all a family, so you are welcome."

Father Xiao quickly got up and thanked: "Let's bother the mansion for the next few days, we will move there after we find the yard."

How could Mr. Xiao let them leave: "What are you moving? Could it be that you dislike the roughness of my house and the lack of service?"

If someone else had said that, Mr. Xiao would definitely feel embarrassed to talk about moving, but Dad Xiao is not a person who can read people's faces: "No, no, it's fine if I'm alone, our family There are old and young children. Besides, we are used to being casual in the countryside, and we are not comfortable living in the mansion. Otherwise, we would have agreed to live in the National Teacher's Mansion before noon..."

Although Elder Xiao knew that Father Xiao was not very tactful, he never thought that he would stay so far. He was also in a daze for a while, and he didn't think of anything to say back.

"...Goro also said that when we find a place, we will move to my house for a while. Then I will invite the old man to drink at home..."

Master Xiao rubbed his temples and decided not to speak.

Xiao Mansion, Chunshen Building.

The eldest wife of the Xiao family, Mrs. Liu, was reconciling the account books in the room, when she suddenly heard a commotion in the courtyard, looked up, and saw the servant girl Liuli trotting all the way into the house, and said in surprise, "Eldest madam, the second young master is back."

The servants in the room were immediately overjoyed, and Liu Shi also immediately put down the account book in his hand, stood up in disbelief and said, "Zian is back? Where are the others?" While speaking, Xiao Zian had already rushed into the room with great strides. When seeing Liu Shi, tears burst out immediately, she threw herself on the knees and kowtowed three times in front of her, then raised her head, tears streaming down her face: "Mother—"

"My son——" Although Mrs. Liu said that she has all the children around her, she was most concerned about the youngest son who was sent to the old house at the age of four. She had told Mr. Xiao many times to take him back to Beijing, but Master Xiao didn't let go, unexpectedly, he came back.

The mother and son hugged each other overjoyed and cried for a while, and the servants in the room couldn't help wiping away their tears when they saw this, and persuaded them in a low voice for a while, then Liu Shi wiped away the tears, and took Xiao Zi'an to the bed. He sat down on the arhat chair by the window, looked up and down for a long time, and then choked up and said: "My youngest son has grown so big in a flash, look, she is even taller than my mother."

Xiao Zian whispered with some embarrassment: "The child is not a child anymore, so he will grow taller naturally. By the way, where is the eldest brother, is he not here?"

"Zitong is studying in the Imperial College, and he won't come back in a few days." Liu Shi patted Xiao Zian's face, but felt that no matter how hard he looked, he asked again, "Why didn't you write a letter to the family when you came back? Yes, mother is really not prepared at all."

Xiao Zian replied with a smile: "Grandfather didn't tell the boy before, and he let the boy follow when Uncle Ling and the others were about to leave. The boy himself was startled, mother, you don't know, we met a real dragon on the road. It's..."

"Really?" Liu Shi only thought Xiao Zian was joking, and didn't take it to heart at all, "That's really a blessing for our Brother An."

"It's true!" Seeing Liu's calm face, Xiao Zian knew that she didn't believe her, and blushed with anxiety, "Mother, what I said is true. Everyone on the boat saw it when it happened. Those robbers are cruel and easy to kill, if it wasn't for the real dragon's manifestation, the child might not be able to come back."

Liu Shi saw that his face was serious and he didn't look like he was lying, so she was half-believed: "This...you don't talk nonsense, but...you really saw it with your own eyes?"

Xiao Zian nodded solemnly: "If mother doesn't believe it, just ask Uncle Ling, we all saw it. Not only us, Wu Lang was also on the boat at the time, and people from the National Teacher's Mansion, they must have seen it too."

"National Teacher's Mansion?" Liu's eyes lit up immediately. She didn't go back to Xiao's old house, and she didn't know about Long Xining's affairs. Suddenly, she heard Xiao Zian talk about the National Teacher's Mansion, and she was overjoyed, " How do you know people from Daguoshi’s family?”

Xiao Zi'an said: "Wulang is the younger brother of Master Guoshi. It seems that Huaiying saved him and has been living in Uncle Ling's house. This time he came to Beijing with us. But..." He scratched the back of his head Er, "After the real dragon appeared, Wulang disappeared, but when we returned to Beijing, Wulang had already returned, and he said that the people from the National Teacher's Mansion brought him back first. Are you surprised? "

When he said this, he suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously: "Mother, tell me, will the real dragon's appearance be related to the National Teacher's Mansion?"

Liu's eyes widened in shock: "Your Uncle Ling? That master from the Xiao family's old house?" Of course she knew that some members of the Xiao family would go to Beijing for the exam this year, and even Wutong Court was prepared by her servants, but who He also didn't tell him that the family had something to do with the National Teacher's Mansion.Knowing this earlier, she sent her servants to tidy up the Qixia Tower in the east.

Xiao Zian nodded: "Brother didn't tell mother? He lived in Uncle Ling's house before, and Wu Lang is the younger brother of Master Guoshi, or he asked it out."
