Chapter 206 Change
In her previous life, Shangguan Qingyue once picked up a very clingy tabby cat at a bus stop. A few days after she brought it home, it had a high fever and she was reluctant to take it to a well-known pet hospital for treatment because the cost was too high.
She only took it to the pet clinic downstairs in the community for treatment. But within half a month, the little guy died at home. She regretted it for a long time and often woke up crying in her sleep.
In this life, she must treat these two little guys well to make up for the regret in her heart.
As for what happened later, because they took in so many cats that they simply built a cat manor, Shangguan Qingyue had never expected it at that time.
Of course, this is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
Shangguan Qingyue felt like she was soaking in a honey pot all day long. She felt that this happiness was very unreal. She was too excited at night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
However, this unreal feeling only lasted until the next morning when she was completely pulled back to reality.
Because she got up a quarter of an hour late, Shangguan Qingyue was punished to do horse stance for an extra quarter of an hour. Sweat dripped down her cheeks like raindrops, and some of it accidentally seeped into the corners of her mouth.
Little Stone felt distressed when he saw this. He said to Shangguan Yunxin in a reproachful tone:
"Sister Yunxin, you are too harsh on Ruoxi! She just celebrated her birthday yesterday, so it is understandable that she starts later today!"
"You also said that it was yesterday. Since your birthday has passed, you have to look forward. How can you keep lingering on it?
Also, you don't have to practice martial arts with me tomorrow. You are a man, how can you stay with women all the time? Go find my elder brother, his martial arts are more suitable for you. "
Shangguan Qingyue almost choked on her own saliva. Xiao Shitou was only five years old. Was it too harsh on him?
But seeing Shangguan Yunxin's stern look, she just gave Xiao Shitou a helpless look. Good luck to you, I can't take care of myself!
……
It was not logical for Shangguan Chong to take leave to visit his daughter, and the Shangguan Song brothers stayed in Xiangxue Village for too long.
So five days later, the father and his two sons had to leave the village and rush back to the capital.
Xiao Shitou, who had been tortured for several days, was very happy because he could be with Ruoxi again!
Nan Rongyuanzhi had never stayed in one place for such a long time. A few days after Shangguan Chong and his son left, he also left Xiangxue Village with Zhou Xiaonan, leaving Xuanyuan Yan alone to continue living in Wangyou Inn.
Since he has announced to the public that he is recovering from an injury, he has to make a big show and stay for at least another month.
On the surface, he stayed away from the court and didn't care about worldly affairs, but thanks to the intelligence network he had built up over the years, he knew everything he should and should not know.
Under Xuanyuan Yan's strict requirements, Shangguan Qingyue finally played the guqin properly. In his words, it was barely acceptable to the ear.
After the song "Autumn Wind Ode" was finally played smoothly, Xuanyuan Yan said:
"To increase the difficulty, you can choose the next song. One is "Wild Geese Flying over the Plain Sands" and the other is "Flowing Springs in the Clear Stream". Which one do you want to learn?"
"Hey, sir, can you play them for me? I want to listen to them before I make a decision."
Xiao Shitou had already memorized the song played earlier, but in order not to affect Shangguan Qingyue's practice, he did not continue learning.
The two of them sat next to each other, as if they were copies of each other, both supporting their cheeks with their right hands, eyes slightly narrowed, listening to the piano music with great enjoyment.
Xuanyuan Yan glanced at the two of them inadvertently during his playing, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise. She was clearly still a child, but she gave people a feeling of deep mother-son affection, which was really weird and funny.
At the end of the two songs, they both applauded.
Although Xuanyuan Yan felt it was strange, he gradually got used to this way of expressing praise. He asked:
"Well, have you decided?"
"The melody of "Pingsha Luoyan" is tranquil and peaceful, and "Bijian Liuquan" is fresh and pleasant, as if it brings a burst of coolness. Both are good. Only children make choices. I want to learn both. Is it okay?"
"You are too greedy. With your qualifications, you can hardly get both, yet you want to have both! You can only choose one."
Xuanyuan Yan never softened his attitude just because the other person was a woman, and he was always merciless when he confronted her.
Shangguan Qingyue had long since developed a thick skin, so she didn't get angry at all. She rolled her eyes and said:
"How about I learn 'Green Stream Flowing Spring' and Little Stone learn 'Wild Geese Falling on the Flat Sand'? We can exchange and learn from each other after we go home."
"I agree! I learn quickly and can teach Ruoxi after I finish. Sir, please agree to it!"
One of them was acting coquettishly while the other was acting cute. Even Xuanyuan Yan couldn't resist it no matter how serious he was, and finally he compromised.
Just as the two were concentrating on their practice, a guard hurriedly walked into the yard and whispered something in Xuanyuan Yan's ear. After hearing this, his face instantly turned three degrees colder.
But he just waved his hand to let the guards retreat and said nothing.
After two hours, he took out a book and handed it to Shangguan Qingyue, saying:
"I'll give you this music score as a birthday gift. Don't come to my place for the next few days. Little Stone, you will be responsible for teaching your sister the song for today."
Shangguan Qingyue was originally wondering why he suddenly couldn't come over. When she heard that Xiao Shitou had quickly learned another song right under her nose, she opened her mouth in surprise.
"Little fairy boy, are you really a fairy who fell into the human world? How come you have learned it in just a short time? Compared to you, I am too stupid!"
Little Stone stood on tiptoe like a little adult, touched Shangguan Qingyue's head, and said in a condescending manner:
"Ruoxi, every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. You are the one who taught me this truth. In my eyes, you are the most powerful woman in the world!"
"Hahaha, is there honey on the lips of our little fairy boy? He is so adorable! I wonder how many girls will fall in love with you in the future!"
Shangguan Qingyue picked up the guqin with some difficulty and prepared to leave. Xuanyuan Yan raised his hand to stop her and said:
"I'll have my guards take it home for you, and I'll give you the zither so you don't have to carry it back and forth."
"But……"
"No buts, I'll have someone buy another one and leave it at the inn, you don't have to worry about it."
Well, having money means being willful. The violin in her hand was obviously of extraordinary quality, and since the other party didn't care, she would accept it with peace of mind!
After the two of them left, the guard came in again and asked:
"Master, the Imperial Concubine's people are coming soon, what should we do?"
Xuanyuan Yan rubbed the jade rings on his thumbs, thought for a moment and said:
"Pack your things immediately and let's move to the inn in the county town. I don't want the peace here to be disrupted because of me."
Although Xuanyuan Yan has always been cold, people who are familiar with him will find that he has become much calmer since coming to Xiangxue Village.
He no longer had the cold and aloof temperament that kept people at a distance, and he even smiled from time to time. This had never happened before, and as his personal bodyguard, he felt it most clearly.
Having been in a state of high alert all year round, they experienced what "comfort" is for the first time during their stay in Xiangxue Village.
When everyone heard that they were leaving, they actually felt a little reluctant. But this thought was quickly wiped out. As a guard who had risked his life for his master, how could he have the idea of comfort?
If they continue like this, they will be dead soon.
At this time, Xuanyuan Yan also realized the seriousness of the problem. What made him a little flustered was that he was actually tired of his previous life...
