Nine Heavens

In the following time, Tan Jing lived the life of a daughter of a thousand gold every day, accompanied by Long Yun Sixiang during the day, helping to recall the past, or learning etiquette. Occasionally, I will walk around in Longyun Villa.

Seeing the ten thousand li territory of Longyun Mountain Villa, the peaks and corridors, the mountain pavilions stretching endlessly, not like a villa but like a royal palace and brocade city, I feel deeply moved. So I admire my father Tan Tianying's wisdom and martial arts even more.

But I don't know why I always feel uneasy when I sleep at night, and I always feel like I am in a void. I am like a cloud, swinging around, but I can never find a place to anchor. Feeling like this for a long time, I am very eager for the Ten Thousand Years Ice Lotus Body Cultivation Pill prepared by my father-in-law. It will be comfortable for a while after using it.

During this period of time, I discovered a secret. Whenever Longyun Sixiang is not around, the three blue flowers of Junlan Rue will dance lightly, sometimes like three blue butterflies fluttering and closing their wings, Sometimes it soars into the blue sky like three flying cranes. It seems to be deliberately attracting yourself. Once Longyun Sixiang appeared, the dancing flowers stopped immediately.

After discovering this secret, Tan Jing felt very excited. From time to time, she deliberately took away Long Yunsixiang, and then secretly studied this interesting secret. But after more than ten days in a row, I didn't see any tricks, so I became more curious in my heart, wishing to study it all day long. But Long Yun Sixiang would appear by his side at any time, and the flower would not move, so he couldn't study it. I can't drive Long Yun Sixiang out.

Unable to solve this secret, Tan Jing sat on the head of the bed silently, her eyes were a little melancholy.

Seeing the unhappy lady, Xia Xiang put down the embroidery in her hand, walked to the bed in lotus steps, and asked softly: "Miss, what's the matter, why are you unhappy? I'm still waiting for you to teach me how to embroider flowers." , Do you think my embroidery is okay?" He led Tan Jing to the round table, and brought the embroidered needlework to Tan Jing.

Tan Jing stretched her neck and saw that the pot of Rue Junlan was embroidered. There was a flash of joy in his eyes. I couldn't help holding it in my hand and looking at it carefully for a while, and then spontaneously recited a few lines of poems:

Morning dew, mist and frost, orchids and green leaves are fragrant. Slender and delicate hands, ghosts condense on the brocade.

The four sisters looked at the young lady's flickering eyes, like misty clouds, and groaned softly, word by word very slowly. There was a trace of melancholy in the namelessness.

It can be heard that the lady is praising herself. Xia Xiang's face was a little hot, and she said softly: "Miss is really laughing at me. How can I get such accomplishments. Miss is better at embroidering. Without your guidance, I wouldn't It's going to improve so fast."

Tan Jing withdrew a little melancholy, looked at Xia Xiang and said, "My sister embroiders really well. If you are willing, how about giving it to me after you embroider it?"

When Xia Xiang heard that the young lady wanted it, she was naturally happy, saying that she was really good at embroidering, so she agreed happily.

Listening to the two talking to each other, Sanxiang all gathered together, feeling that the young lady had something on her mind.

It was Chunxiang who was blunt, staring at Tan Jing and said, "Miss, are you feeling unwell, why are you so preoccupied? Or, I'll go to Madam and ask a doctor to come and take a look?"

After finishing speaking, he stared at Tan Jing with a mischievous expression.

Hearing what Chunxiang said, the other Sanxiang also nodded in agreement.

Tan Jing hurriedly said: "No, there's no need. I have nothing to do, just, just..." Tan Jing hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything, thinking that this secret can't be revealed, what should I do. Quickly searching for a solution in his mind, his eyes suddenly fell on Xia Xiang's hand, and he had an idea in an instant.

"Hehe, my eldest lady, are you missing the seventh prince, uh?" Chunxiang deliberately teased Tan Jing. It made Tan Jing's face feel hot.

Tan Jing gave Chunxiang a reproachful look, and said with a smile, "As long as you can guess, it's okay, I just like that pot of Junlan Rue so much, I want to see it and smell its fragrance all the time, even at night. , I woke up by accident, and I could see it at a glance. So I wanted to move it to the bed, so I got my wish. But I was worried that you would laugh at me, so that's why it looks like this." After finishing speaking, Tan Jing looked forward to He looked at Sixiang.

Long Yunsixiang couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, and after a long time, Chunxiang said: "There are all kinds of strange things, it's easy to put flowers on the bed, but how do you sleep, don't you feel awkward. That potted flower is placed in the room, you can look at it however you want, whenever you want to look at it, are you afraid that it will fly away, giggling..." Chunxiang laughed again after holding back her words stand up.

Seeing Long Yunsixiang's appearance, Tan Jing said anxiously: "Don't patronize Le, is it okay?"

"Okay, okay, there's nothing wrong with this, but it's really a bit weird. There are rare treasures at home, and there is nothing to sleep with. It's better than putting potted flowers on the bed. Where should this flower be placed on the bed?" OK?" Qiuxiang took Tan Jing's words.

Xia Xiang thought for a while and said: "It's not easy, just ask the housekeeper to order a new bed, and add a lattice beside the bed or at the head of the bed."

Tan Jing looked gratefully at Xia Xiang, and then at the other three. Sanxiang nodded approvingly. Qiu Xiang said: "This method is good, I'll go right away, and the new bed will be ready in a day or two." After saying hello, he went out.

Seeing Qiu Xiang passing away, Tan Jing regained her happy face, and happily studied needle embroidery with Xia Xiang. Chunxiang and Dongxiang are also looking for something to do.

Tan Jing found that she liked Xia Xiang more and more. She is gentle, considerate, modest and polite, especially her sweet voice, which makes people feel comfortable. While Chunxiang and Dongxiang were busy with other things, they were not around. Tan Jing tentatively asked: "Sister, how long have you been in Longyun Villa, where is your hometown?"

Xia Xiang was also very happy when she found out that Dong Xiang and Chun Xiang had gone out. She felt that she was very intimate with this lady, and it was rare to talk to her alone for a while. Hearing the young lady asking herself softly, she also said softly: "I have been with the young lady since I was a child, and I don't know where my hometown is. Since I can remember, I have been with the young lady until now."

"Oh, that's right. Then who taught your martial arts?" Tan Jing asked again.

"I learned it by myself, no one taught me. When we four sisters were very young, each of us had a strange martial arts tattoo on our back. When we were a little older and literate, we helped each other write down the martial arts. Self-enlightenment practice. It's strange, we practiced very smoothly, and it took about ten years to practice." Xia Xiang still said softly.

"Then who got the tattoo on your back, and who taught you how to read?" Tan Jing asked a little strangely.

"Oh, I really don't know who got the tattoo on our backs. Maybe we were born with it. As for learning to read characters, it's easy. About five or six miles east of our Longyun Villa, there is an open school. There There is a Taoist priest who teaches and imparts knowledge to those who come to study, and he never receives payment. The four of us sisters learned to read there." Xia Xiang said softly.

Tan Jing listened quietly, and continued to ask: "What about your parents?"

There was a little melancholy in her eyes, and her voice was a little sour. Xia Xiang looked at Tan Jing dimly and said quietly: "I heard from the owner that we are abandoned babies who were picked up. We don't know who our parents are and where they are. We can have everything we have today. It’s all a gift from the owner.”

Tan Jing couldn't bear to continue asking, and hurriedly changed the subject, feeling a little more fond of these girls in her heart.
