Fighter of the Destiny

When walking under the Naihe Bridge, she was almost hit by an old woman who was rushing home to avoid the snow. When the old woman was about to fall to the ground, she reached out to help her.

Only then did the lady find a girl holding an umbrella under the snow bridge. After thanking her, she looked at the girl's thin dress and said worriedly: Girl is wearing so little, isn't it cold?

Xu Yourong shook his head and continued walking into the snow while holding an umbrella.

From the palace to the south of the city, all you can see are old street scenes. After crossing a stone bridge, you can see the cornices of the house and the whitewashed walls that are obviously newly painted.

Even if the Taoist mind is as calm as hers, she can't help but feel a little confused at this moment.

From the moment it was known that the southern envoy had entered Beijing, the middle door of Dongyu Shenjiang's Mansion had been opened wide. Not to mention the crowds waiting in the street in the snow, only the housekeepers and servants in Shenjiang's Mansion. , even the eyes are almost turning green.

Xu Yourong held an umbrella and walked over, directly walking into the Dongyu Divine General's Mansion under everyone's gaze.

No one noticed how she came in. The stewards and servants who had been busy preparing for today for dozens of days were stunned, thinking who was this person?

With a slight sound, she closed her umbrella and knocked lightly on the door of the Divine General's Mansion, shaking the snow on the umbrella to the ground.

Hearing a cry, Shuang'er ran towards the door. However, she had been standing for several hours and her legs were a little weak. Under the excitement of her mood, when she came to Xu Yourong, she couldn't stand still. , almost knelt down.

Xu Yourong stretched out his hand to support her and said, Why haven't I seen you salute before? Who started to teach you the rules again in the past few years since I've been away?

Of course this sentence was a joke, but Shuang'er couldn't laugh. She just kept crying. Then she felt embarrassed, so she kept wiping it with her sleeves, and the carefully applied makeup on her face suddenly faded.

It was only then that the people in the Shenjiang Mansion reacted. Aunt Hua stepped forward quickly, her lips trembling slightly, but unable to speak.

Miss is back!

I don’t know who shouted this, and the firecrackers exploded immediately, and the fireworks lit up the somewhat dim snowy sky.

In the commotion, someone was heard shouting: You can't call me Miss now, I have to call you Saint!

Welcome to the Saint!

Looking at the middle door that was quickly closed, the crowd who had been waiting in the snow for a long time dispersed with a bang, spreading news everywhere.

——Phoenix has returned home.

Wearing so little, what should I do if I get cold?

Mrs. Xu held Xu Yourong's hand with a concerned look on her face and tears falling.

How can my Phoenix son be frozen by the ordinary customs of the world?

Xu Shiji gently stroked his beard and said with a smile, like a proud and loving father, and said with emotion: I haven't seen you for several years, I have really grown up, and actually... really became a saint.

Although he and many others were basically sure from the first day he entered Nanxi Zhai that his daughter would definitely become a southern saint in the future, but he never imagined that this day would come so soon. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Pride and pride accounted for seven parts, and relief and relaxation accounted for three parts. He knew that even if he had other thoughts now, the Holy Queen would never treat her like before. He will always save some face for himself. As for the Tianhai family and the ministers in the court, who dares to mock him behind his back? As for those guys who had embarrassed him in the past... He suddenly thought of Chen Changsheng, his mood suddenly became unhappy, and his face became a little ugly.

…

…

In everyone's imagination, a saint must be beautiful, sacred, solemn, unsmiling, and sitting upright. Although this inherent impression may not be correct, it cannot be broken. Even Xu Yourong has occasionally appeared in the world in recent years. When in front of others, although they cannot walk as calmly and as cleanly as white lotus like other senior sisters in Nanxi Zhai, they will pay attention to their words and deeds and try their best to just smile and say nothing. Only in front of the Holy Empress and the Holy Master, she would behave more naturally and say interesting things like a junior, and only in front of Shuang'er, the maid she had grown up with, would she truly relax. , like now.

She kept rolling on the bed, her black hair scattered everywhere, and finally lay flat on the bed with her arms spread out, and said with emotion: This bed is more comfortable to sleep on.

Miss, this is too indecent.

Shuang'er quickly found a blanket and put it on her body, then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her blankly, very happy, but for some reason her eye circles gradually turned red.

Xu Yourong asked: What happened? Does anyone really dare to bully you?

She had asked when she first entered the house, but she was joking at that time, because she knew very well that no one in the Xu family dared to bully Shuang'er, because even her mother would not give her the explanation she gave back then. What a look on her face, but now it seems that this is not the case. Of course she wants to know why.

Shuang'er wiped her tears and watched her hesitate to speak. Finally, she said sadly: But what should I do if someone bullies the young lady?

Xu Yourong smiled and said: Silly girl is still so stupid, who dares to bully me? You don't know, in Zhou Garden I met Nan Ke, the demon princess I mentioned to you in the letter, if we are one on one , I am...

Miss, you know who I'm talking about. Shuang'er looked at her and said.

Xu Yourong sat up, slowly tied up her black hair, then hugged her knees and remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Shuang'er knew very well that the young lady often felt like this when she was alone. She was like this when she was a child. She looked very pitiful, not as calm and majestic as she was in front of the world.

Seeing the young lady acting like this, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and said, Miss, I didn't mean to make you angry, so don't think about it.

Xu Yourong looked at the bright lamp on the table and suddenly asked, I have something to ask you.

Shuang'er asked: What's the matter?

Xu Yourong turned to look at her and asked calmly: When you said...she and His Highness Luoluo were in the National Education Academy...did you see it with your own eyes?

Shuang'er was a little anxious and said: Miss, you finally went home for once, why did you bring up that shameless person?

Although he didn't admit it, the four words shameless seemed to be enough to explain a lot of things.

Xu Yourong didn't ask any more questions. She hugged her knees and looked at the falling snow outside the night window. She was quiet for a long time.

If she had returned to Kyoto before, she would never have thought of going out again, but today, for some reason, she didn't want to stay at home. She wanted to go out for a walk and see something.

Or maybe it’s because compared to the first two times I returned to Beijing, there are some differences in Kyoto. For example, there are many more night lanterns in Weiyang Palace than in the past, and the piers of Naihe Bridge were slightly crooked after being hit by a grain ship last summer. It is being renovated, and the woods over Beixinqiao have become much denser for some reason. I heard that the old door of the National Education College covered with ivy has been replaced with a new one...

That guy is in Kyoto.

There are eleven straight streets across from her.

If an ordinary person walks, it only takes half an hour, and that's because the road is slippery in the snow.

If she were walking, it would only take a moment.

If you are riding a white crane, it will take less time, just blink your eyes.

The snow outside the night window suddenly became chaotic, and her mood became slightly confused. She blinked and found that the white crane had fallen in the yard.

She stood up, put on a big cloak, and walked outside the house. Shuang'er quickly held the heater in her arms and followed.

White cranes preen their feathers in the snow.

There was a strange and unpleasant cry in the night sky, and the gray young Peng also fell down. I don’t know where it went to play before. It wasn’t until it found the white crane that it flew over. As soon as it landed, it flew towards the white crane’s wings. He burrowed down, as if to please or deliberately tease to get Bai He's attention. Bai He straightened his neck, looking very helpless, but he had no intention of driving it away.

This small courtyard is a forbidden area of ​​the Dongyu Shenjiang Mansion. No one can come in without her consent, not even Xu Shiji and Mrs. Xu. There is no need to worry about Youpeng scaring anyone.

What kind of bird is this? Shuang'er asked, looking at the gray bird.

In her eyes, this bird was really ugly. However, Baihe, who was always known for his cleanliness, did not resist the bird's approach, which surprised her.

A pheasant. Xu Yourong said.

Youpeng poked his head out from under the white crane's wings and glanced at her with some resentment.

The Holy Maiden's Peak is indeed no ordinary place. The pheasants on the peak actually look so vicious.

Shuang'er clapped her hands in admiration, then suddenly remembered something and said, Ah, then I have to prepare some more water and fruits. Originally I only prepared Baihe's.

Listening to these words, the resentment in Youpeng's eyes became even heavier.

It has been on a vegetarian diet for half a year at Saintess' Peak. Only occasionally when Xu Yourong goes to town to play mahjong can he eat some meat and bacon, pork ribs and the like. Today he came to the bustling Kyoto and saw it while flying over. There are so many fragrant and tender humans, as well as those monks who are obviously very chewy and nutritious. It has already been greedy for a long time. As a result...

Still eating fruit?

You must know that although it has not eaten human flesh in this life, the impression left in its soul from the previous life has not been forgotten.

This pheasant likes to eat meat. Xu Yourong glanced at Youpeng.

With just an ordinary glance, Youpeng felt that his soul had been washed by the coldest ice water for three days and three nights. Some of the burning desires he had just had disappeared instantly, so how could he dare to have those thoughts.

If you have blue lobster at home, get some for it to try.

Hearing this, Youpeng was very happy and kept shaking his head. The past life memory in his soul told him that the meat of blue lobster was very delicious.

Shuang'er said helplessly: I don't have one at home.

Xu Yourong was slightly surprised, thinking that his family knew that he liked to eat blue lobster from Chenghu Tower. Logically speaking, he should have prepared a lot of it just like the previous two times he returned to Beijing. Why not?

“The whole of Kyoto can’t eat blue lobster now.”

Shuang'er hesitated for a while and said: Because the National Education College bought Chenghu Tower, you can only eat there.

Xu Yourong was slightly startled. He didn't expect... to hear the name of the National Education Academy so soon.

Youpeng was thinking about where the Chinese Academy of Education was. He had to find an opportunity to eat all the people inside, and then slowly eat the blue lobsters.

The white crane suddenly chirped in a low voice.

Only then did Xu Yourong realize that Bai He had been at the National Education Academy for the entire half day. Thinking about it... he must have been playing with that guy?

Shuang'er went to get other meat. She was wearing a big cloak and standing in the snow at night, thinking about something.

——He is in Kyoto, on eleven streets, in half an hour, and will arrive in a moment.
