Chapter 146 Contradictions
Chapter 146 Contradictions
There was a lion dance performance in the small town on Baishizhou recently, and there were fireworks in the evening, which was extremely spectacular.
She came here a year ago and searched everywhere in June. This Shi Chongweng was just an old man who weaved bamboo baskets. He was old and had a bad temper. She went there several times, but was scolded and driven away.
I really don't understand. Could it be that the person my master asked her to find was the wrong one?
Later, Mei Nianqing came and knew that June had been rejected several times, so she told her not to be discouraged and that good things will come to those who wait. Although she went there several times after that and was not kicked out, she finally became a familiar face because she had bought something, and as a customer, naturally no one would drive her away.
She wanted to go back to see her master several times, but was stopped by Sister Mei. A few days ago, Sister Mei told her that her master would come in a few days.
At the lion dance, the winners will have a three-person-high sky lantern. June started learning lion dance this month, and she wanted to wait for her master to come and release the sky lanterns with him to pray for blessings.
"My master will be here in a few days. You must work hard, and I will reward you handsomely!"
Her rehearsal partner heard her talking about her master and asked curiously, "Why do you keep mentioning your master? It seems that your master treats you well, and I haven't heard you mention other family members."
"Master, you are very good to me!" Liu Yue's face suddenly became gloomy, and she lost her previous vitality. She put down the lion dance head and sat alone in the corner.
Is she trying to please him? Maybe her family will blame her for being so heartless and smiling every day and not obeying discipline. How can she find her enemy in such a vast sea of people? She was young at that time, and now she has finally survived. If she insists on revenge, will her master still want her?
Liu Yue was conflicted. She admitted that she was timid and afraid of losing the warmth she had finally gained. Moreover, no matter how capable she was, her master was running for his life, and she could not drag him down.
"Hey," the shout brought June back to reality. She then noticed that her friends were all looking at her. At this moment, June's face looked very bad and her eyes were empty, which really scared them.
"Yueyue, are you okay?"
"Is it okay!"
"I" She was about to speak, but Han Feng brought good news, and her eyes lit up. She sat up and quickly jumped off the stage.
Ning Shujun was talking to Mei Zi, and then she picked up Chen'er who was beside her. The little guy is almost three years old now, and he looks like a New Year picture doll, very cute.
"Mother" Chen'er put his little hands around Ning Shujun's neck and said in a soft voice.
"Hey"
Mei Zi poured the water and drank it slowly. "If you are reluctant to leave, why didn't you come earlier?"
"Of course there is something wrong." Ning Shujun pushed a brocade box to Mei Nianqing.
The box contained news about Chang State in the past two years. Liuhuo and Chang State were like hostile enemies, and they had been at war for years, with the people living in misery. It happened that the monarch of Chang State, Shen Chengjun, believed the words of a high monk, who performed some kind of ritual to bless them, and with the help of some hermit masters, they did defeat the ferocious Liuhuo. However, those hermits were just some practicing monsters.
They asked Shen Chengjun to build a palace for them to help them practice, and the most ridiculous thing was that Shen Chengjun did it.
"Ridiculous!" Mei Nianqing couldn't believe it. "Humans and demons are on different paths. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty treated demons as guests of honor."
"I don't think so," Ning Shujun said, "Although they are monsters, they keep their word and they each get what they need."
She finally understood Liao Han's intention. There was no temple dedicated to gods in Changguo, but there were several temples dedicated to monsters.
Those monsters did do some things. They could call the wind and rain and were omnipotent. They used their talents to get themselves some official positions and lived a very glorious life.
"Does Shen Chengjun know that the talented person he recruited is a monster?"
"I don't know!" Ning Shujun gently held Chen'er's hand, covered him with a quilt, and patted him to sleep.
Mei Zi still couldn't believe it. The two of them stood under the pavilion. The content of the other letter was beyond her expectations.
The official who used her as a scapegoat has now become disgraced and his family has been destroyed.
After a long while, Mei Zi finally asked, "Did you do this?"
"No," Ning Shujun denied.
I just gave all the evidence to the person who did the job, but I didn't expect Liao Han to be so sincere.
"A Fei, who are you?"
"I am who I am"
"Where did you get these letters from? How did you get this information?" Mei Zi couldn't bear it. "What do you want to do?"
Ning Shujun drank the water in the cup and turned the cup in her hand, "What are you doing?"
"Don't forget that you and I are both from Changguo"
"And then?" Ning Shujun originally wanted to tell Mei Zi about this, thinking she would be happy, but she didn't expect her reaction to be so strong!
Mei Zi lost control of her emotions and grabbed Ning Shujun's hand, "I asked you these questions but they have nothing to do with you."
"What do you mean?" Ning Shujun looked solemn.
The two stared at each other for a long time before Mei Zi let go. "I'm sorry if I hurt you." Seeing the scratches on Ning Shujun's fair arm, which were particularly conspicuous, she turned and left.
After Mei Zi left, Ning Shujun silently repeated the word "Changguo". She really didn't like the place, let alone any feelings for it. Her behavior was just gloating.
"Master," June's voice came from a distance. Ning Shujun turned around and saw June in a lion dance costume, pounced on her.
Liu Yue smiled and said, "Master, why are you here just now?"
"It's not too late, we can have the match at Yin hour the day after tomorrow."
"Well," June saw that the master was alone here, "Master, have you eaten?"
"not yet?"
Liu Yue pulled Ning Shujun and said, "I know the chefs in that restaurant are really good. I'll take you there!"
"it is good"
"Sister Mei" June saw Mei Nianqing coming and greeted her.
Mei Zi brought the medicine box and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Master is here. How about we go to the Jiupiaoxiang restaurant here to welcome him?" June excitedly took Ning Shujun's arm.
"Okay." Mei Zi took out the medicine and motioned Ning Shujun to stretch out her hand so that she could apply the medicine on her.
"Master is injured?" June asked anxiously
"It's just a minor injury!"
"Oh," June said, "Where's Chen'er?"
"I'm taking a nap!" Mei Zi put away her things. Seeing that Liu Yue was about to go look for him, she pulled her aside and said, "Change your clothes first and go later!"
"Go!"
June nodded and turned away "Yeah."
There were only two people left, and Mei Nianqing said, "A Fei, I just lost my composure!"
"is a bit"
"I was born and raised in Changguo, so I am a Changguo person. Now a group of evildoers are running rampant in Changguo. I don't want to see this happen."
"Um"
"Do you know who did it?"
"Don't you think it was me?" Ning Shujun asked back.
Mei Zi quickly shook her head and said, "No, it won't be yours!"
"What if it was me? What would you do? Kill me." After saying that, Ning Shujun turned and left.
After getting on the carriage, June found that Sister Mei had not appeared yet, and was about to ask someone to call her.
"No need," Ning Shujun waved her hand and said, "She is not feeling well and needs to rest!"
"Okay then!" June kept talking about what had happened to her over the past year, and she kept talking endlessly.
When she mentioned the task assigned by her master, she instantly wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant!
"Just consider it as exploring the way for me. Take me to visit him later!"
"Yeah," June nodded vigorously.
Jiupiaoxiang is indeed good. As soon as June arrived, he ordered a few signature dishes and introduced them one by one. Ning Shujun was not very interested and just said, "I'll leave it to you."
"Big Hairy Crab" Chen'er was pulling at the tablecloth.
"good"
