Cui Xiaoxin had a calm temperament, and was calm and collected.
But Song Tao's straightforwardness, saying that he was chasing after Cui Xiaoxin, still made the young girl blush and feel irritated.
Cui Xiaoxin's eyelids drooped, looking at her slender toes. "Third elder brother, why are you chasing me?"
"What? The young talents of Tiandu are chasing after Xiaoxin, why can't I? "Song Tao raised his eyebrows, a playful smile on his face.
"Third elder brother, don't make fun of me." Cui Xiaoxin said softly. "You know I'm not good at joking."
Song Tao knew that Cui Xiaoxin was soft on the outside but hard on the inside, and saying too much would only annoy her. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Don't joke around. When I was drinking with them last night, I heard Cui Hao say that Xiaoxin is going to Thousand Buddha Temple today to pray for her family. It just so happens that Grandpa's health has not been good recently, so I wanted to go to Thousand Buddha Temple with Xiaoxin to make a wish for Grandpa. The journey is long, with a companion, we can talk about romance all the way, we certainly won't feel bored. "
Song Tao was from the Song family of Tiandu, and Song Tao's grandfather was Song Gudu, who was known as the 'Eye of the Starry Sky' by the people of West Wind.
Song Gudu, who had stepped into the Starry Sky realm, had long passed the age of one hundred years, but in recent years his body had been getting weaker and weaker, and seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion.
Song Gudu was the pillar of the Song family, as well as the stabilizing force of the imperial power of Tiandu.
The Song family and the Chu family had many marriages, and could be said to be close partners who were bound together for good or bad.
Of course, Song Gudu, like the Chu family, did not like Lu Xingkong of the Lu Family.
This was also the reason why the position of Left Minister had been vacant for a long time, but still could not fall into the hands of others or Lu Xingkong.
Song Gudu was Lu Xingkong's biggest enemy and biggest obstacle to the position of Left Minister. If this person were to die, then the military power in Lu Xingkong's hands would be able to exert the greatest influence, and he would really become second only to one and above tens of thousands.
Unfortunately, Song Gudu was still alive!
"I hope Grandpa Song is safe," Cui Xiaoxin said sincerely. Song Gudu was highly respected, knowledgeable, and deeply respected by the people of West Wind. Both young and old were worried about his health.
"Thank you, Xiaoxin. Grandpa's luck is as good as the heavens. He will definitely be fine. "Song Tao said with a smile.
Seeing a small gap in the curtain, Song Tao asked, "Xiaoxin has a friend with her?"
"An old friend of mine from Jiangnan. Li Shinian. "Cui Xiaoxin said. Originally, she didn't want Li Shinian and Song Tao to meet, but because of Li Muyang, Cui Xiaoxin was worried that Song Tao would embarrass Shinian.
This was Li Shinian's own idea. She also didn't want to socialize with a stranger. But he didn't expect Song Tao to take the initiative to ask about it, so he couldn't hide it anymore.
Song Tao gave a cupped fist salute to the carriage. "Miss Shinian, I've heard a lot about you."
The children of the Song family took the initiative to greet him. If Li Shinian was still sitting in the carriage it would be too rude.
Li Shinian lifted the curtain, stepped on a low stool and got off the carriage. He took a glance at Song Tao, and then bowed respectfully. "I pay respect to the Song family's third young master."
Song Tao looked at Li Shinian who was as clear as water, his eyes lit up, and sincerely praised: "Heaven really dotes on you. It is said that there are three bright moons in the Kingdom. Today I saw Miss Shinian, I think the fourth bright moon is about to rise. No, it has already risen. "
Li Shinian bowed again. "Thank you Third young master for your praise. Shinian's appearance is crude, not pleasing to the eye, I don't deserve Third young master's praise. "
"Hahaha, just wait and see. In time, Li Shinian's name will resound throughout West Wind. "Song Tao said with a confident smile.
He made an inviting gesture. "It's getting late, we still have a long way to go. Xiaoxin and Shinian, please sit in the carriage, I will accompany you. You two miss won't think Song Tao is disturbing, right? "
"Why would I?" Cui Xiaoxin said with a smile. "With Third elder brother's company, it will add to the journey."
Li Shinian cursed inwardly. Her Brother Muyang had finally come back, and today she was trying to make him and Cui Xiaoxin reconcile, but she did not expect a — — thick-skinned person to appear out of nowhere.
He clearly doesn't like you, okay? But you insist on following him and refuse to leave, don't you know that such a man does not have the slightest charm?
Of course. Li Shinian smiled like a flower, saying in a crisp voice: "I have long heard that Third young master Song is knowledgeable, skilled in the four arts, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is the most knowledgeable scholar of the younger generation of Tiandu. To be able to travel with Third young master, Shinian will certainly benefit a lot. "
Song Tao pretended to be drunk, saying: "Don't try to bewitch me again, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll fall off the horse."
Everyone laughed.
He was handsome and bright, and his conversation was humorous. His every movement had the demeanor of an aristocratic family. No wonder he was an outstanding disciple cultivated by a first-class family.
Cui Xiaoxin boarded the carriage again. Li Shinian pretended to cast a glance at the back, and then followed behind Cui Xiaoxin to board the carriage.
The convoy moved forward again, accompanied by a blue-robed youngster outside the window, which was the position that Li Muyang was following with hurried steps.
They chatted and laughed across the wall of the carriage, looking extremely content.
Li Muyang sat on the carriage, letting out a soft sigh.
"Are you envious?" Cui Meng whipped the carriage, but his ears were extremely sensitive. "Do you know who that is in front?"
"Who?" Li Muyang asked aloud. Although he knew that all this had little to do with him, he still couldn't help asking. In his heart, he was still curious, or rather, a little depressed.
"Third young master of the Song family." Cui Meng's eyes lit up. "You know the Song family of Tiandu? That's one of the top families in Tiandu. What's that saying again? "
Cui Meng thought for a moment, then said: "That is, apart from the royal family and the relatives of the emperor, the Song family is the most distinguished. Even some princes are not as glorious as the Song family. The Song family's third young master is an outstanding child of the Song family — — Of course, the children of the Song family are more outstanding than the other. Every one of them is a character that people look up to. "
Li Muyang was too lazy to listen to him boast about the Song family. How powerful the Song family was, did he not know?
So, Li Muyang asked aloud: "This Song family's third young master seems to have a good relationship with your Miss?"
"Hey — —" Cui Meng grinned, a proud look on his face. "Do you know who our Miss is? One of the three bright moons of Tiandu. In the past, Miss was not in Tiandu, so her reputation was a little weak. But when Miss returned to Tiandu, she immediately stunned everyone's eyes. You don't know, but since Miss came back, countless young talents have come to visit, all kinds of invitations, all kinds of banquets, and all kinds of elegant gatherings. The threshold of our Cui family is about to be broken by them. "
"That's because the threshold of your family is too fragile." Li Muyang knew that this kind of refutation was meaningless, but his heart was really uncomfortable if he didn't say anything. He said: "Our Miss is also sought after by countless people. But she only waved her hand and didn't take away a cloud. "
"How can your Miss be compared to our Miss? Our Miss is the daughter of a first-class aristocratic family, your Miss — — "
Li Muyang's eyes were gloomy. "What's wrong with our Miss?"
"Hey, your Miss is also very good." Cui Meng didn't know what to think, but he didn't want to say bad things about Li Shinian in front of Li Muyang. After all, Li Muyang hadn't yet entered the role of a servant, but he was already used to his status. There were rules about what should be said and what shouldn't be said. If he said bad things about Miss's friends, Miss would definitely have him beaten. At that time, even if he didn't die, he would lose a layer of skin.
Li Muyang also knew that he shouldn't be angry with a coachman. He smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not in a good mood, don't mind me."
"It's okay." Cui Meng still had a silly smile on his face as he said, "We are both young people. When others go out, they are accompanied by a group of people, but you can only sit together with me, a coachman, and chat idly … I understand your feelings."
"— —" Li Muyang had a feeling that he wanted to strangle him to death. This guy was really touching my sore spot, wasn't he?
After a dusty journey, they finally arrived at the foot of White Cloud Mountain in the evening.
Song Tao looked at the stone steps that pierced into the sky, saying worriedly: "It's difficult to travel with a carriage, we can only go up the steps. We have to leave the carriage at the foot of the mountain and let the servants look after it. Then we will walk up the mountain lightly. Can the two of you take it? "
"Yes." Li Shinian said cheerfully. She has the foundation of 'The Art of the Breaking Body', she can't do anything else, but climbing a few steps is not a problem.
"Walking shows sincerity." Cui Xiaoxin took a glance at the endless stone steps and said in a firm voice. "Since you have the heart to seek Buddha, how can you work hard for this?"
"It's good that Xiaoxin has this belief." Song Tao said with a smiling face.
He looked at Li Shinian who was standing next to him preparing to climb the mountain. "Miss Shinian must be praying for the safe return of brother, right?"
Li Shinian was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled sweetly. "No, I pray for the safety of my family."
Song Tao was puzzled, then turned to look at Cui Xiaoxin, asking: "Why did Xiaoxin come?"
Xiaoxin and Li Shinian exchanged a glance. "I pray for the safety of my family, and that everything goes well."
Everything went according to plan, but it was unknown what this "everything" included.
Song Tao did not care, smiled and said: "I'm really curious about that Li Muyang. Born in Jiangnan, grew up in Jiangnan, and is famous because the Lord of Jiangnan City praised him as the 'Pearl of Jiangnan'. And because he was admitted to Starry Sky Academy, he killed Cui Zhaoren and dozens of elites of the Monitoring Division on his way to school — — He also made a lot of noise in Starry Sky Academy, and was even accepted as a disciple by Gu Huangwu, who is an expert in both calligraphy and painting. This is something that makes me envious. You know, Teacher Gu has always been an elder that I respect, an idol that I chase after. When I was young, my parents had asked me to become his disciple, but was rejected by Teacher Gu. I didn't expect Li Muyang to have such luck. "
After a pause, he looked at Cui Xiaoxin and Li Shinian. "Even at this time, there are still two outstanding and dazzling young ladies willing to come to White Cloud to pray for his safety, it simply makes all the men in the world jealous."
