C368 Opening (Lower)
"Big Brother Canghai, don't you blame me. My sister is still young, she doesn't know anything!" Qiong Yu pulled his sister to his side, using his eyes to warn her and tell her to shut up.
"Don't worry, let's eat first!" Then, I have something to tell you, news has come from the Pavilion Master! " Qiu Canghai seemed to be very happy, not caring about all this. On the contrary, he actually liked this little girl a lot as he pointed to the table that was passing the dishes to her.
"Then should we get down to business?" When Qiong Yu heard that it was related to the pavilion master, she immediately recovered her serious face and said solemnly to Qiu Canghai.
"There's no rush to this matter. The main character hasn't even gone on stage yet. What's the rush? Let's eat first!" Qiu Canghai helped the old lady sit in the seat of honor, then chose a seat himself and sat down as well. He indicated for Qiong Yu to go over and take a seat, then explained to her.
Seeing that, Qiong Yu could only accept it. She knew that if she was really anxious about this, Qiu Canghai would definitely not have this kind of attitude, it was as if his butt was going to be set on fire.
When the two hall masters ate together, the subordinates of the Listening Rain Pavilion naturally tidied up the tables and set up the delicious food. The few of them simply sat down and waited for the dishes to be ready before setting to work.
The old lady had been poor all her life, but she had never seen so many dishes. She looked calm on the surface, but her heart was shocked. She had never known that a rich person would eat so many dishes in a single meal.
Some of these dishes were things she had seen before, some she had never seen, some she had smelled before, some she hadn't even smelled, but she drooled non-stop when she heard the names, but what could she do about it? In Xiahou Family, she could only see, hear and listen, and 'eat' had nothing to do with her.
But now, she could sit at the dining table and wait for a pint of these delicious foods. To a girl who hadn't eaten a proper meal since she was young, this was a huge temptation!
"Big Brother Canghai, I have to thank you all for finding my grandmother and sister. Let me toast you first!" Seeing that the dishes were all served, Qiong Yu toasted Qiu Canghai with his wine cup raised.
"I deserve this goblet of wine!" Qiu Canghai did not raise his cup, but replied indifferently.
"What do you mean?" Qiong Yu asked in confusion.
"From the day you entered the pavilion, the pavilion master had already ordered a thorough investigation of your background. The pavilion master and I knew everything about you, but in order to consider your face, we never said anything, much less mentioned it in front of you! As for your intelligence network, they mentioned that you still have two relatives alive, so the pavilion master personally ordered people to investigate and search for them, which was quite a coincidence. Just a few days ago, two of your relatives were found in the Fengyang City, so the intelligence network you were in charge of spread the news to you. So, if you really want to thank someone, it would be best if you personally thanked the Pavilion Master! " Qiu Canghai looked at Qiong Yu's expression in amusement, and spoke frankly with him.
"He..." He's done so many things I don't know about! I owe him more and more! I'm afraid my life is not enough to repay you! " Qiong Yu's heart was a little agitated, her words trembling a little. She only knew that her master had promised to treat the injuries on her face, but she had never known that the childish Master would secretly take care of this matter that had been on her mind for a long time. However, other than this life of her, there was nothing else that could repay him.
Thinking about it, Qiong Yu suddenly felt that her current state of mind, as well as her sister's situation in the woodshed in the Xiahou Mansion Residence, was similar. Other than herself, there was nothing else that she could take out to repay another's kindness.
"Don't let your imagination run wild, the Pavilion Master only wants you to focus on your work, the Pavilion Master only hopes that the Listening Rain Pavilion's intelligence network will lead the way in the future, and all of these will require your control! At most, Gloria and I will just help from the side, and we will really depend on you! " Qiu Canghai could tell that Qiong Yu had become an ox horn because of her words, so she continued to speak.
"I understand. I will not disappoint the Pavilion Master!" After Qiong Yu thought about it, he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp and said resolutely.
"The reason I'm telling you all this today is to let you understand that there are many things that the Pavilion Master might seem to not care about, but the truth is that he will always keep everything in his heart. Not just you, but all of us will do the same! This was where his charm lay! Therefore, you don't have to be this serious. If you have to laugh, you have to laugh; if you have to cry, you have to cry. Just like a girl, the pavilion master had long given me time to chat with you. I might as well tell you! " Qiu Canghai nodded his head in satisfaction, finished the cup of wine in his hand, and then spoke to Qiong Yu.
"I ?" I will pay attention to it later. " Qiong Yu was a smart person, she knew all kinds of things in her heart. But the so called 'undoing the bell requires one to tie it up with the bell', if she wanted to break out of this state of mind, she had to break all these obstacles one by one! Perhaps this was also the reason why Gongsun Zaitian had yet to teach her illusions. His state of mind constantly restricted her progress. It seemed that he had to make a change.
"The plan that the Pavilion Master gave you before he left, do you have any ideas?" Qiu Canghai glanced at the elders and children who were happily eating, and asked Qiong Yu in a low voice.
"Hm!" It's already been implemented! " Qiong Yu nodded and replied.
"Have you seen the letter that Pavilion Master gave you for reference?" Qiu Canghai continued to ask, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule.
"I've read it. There are only a few words that I've read, 'The direction of the heart's desire, the direction of the power'!" Qiong Yu frowned as he replied. This was what puzzled her, and it was also a rather helpless place. Although Qiong Yu did not expect this plan from the start, she wanted to verify how far apart her own method was from the method that the Pavilion Master had given her. However, just these eight words when she opened the envelope, made her feel like choking on her words.
"Haha ?" He still liked to deliberately mystify things up! But this is a kind of affirmation to you. To be honest, I was also deceived by him! Alright, let's eat first! " Qiu Canghai laughed out loud. Their boss was extremely playful, not playing around with him for even a day, and felt that they were losing something. However, these seemingly messy and disorderly things would always have the effect of gaining some insight. This kind of 'monstrous talent' was something that was rarely seen even in the countless generations.
"Should I call you uncle, or like sister, 'Big Brother Canghai'?" As if her attention had been attracted by Qiu Canghai's laughter, the younger sister raised her head and asked Qiu Canghai without caring about the rice grains that were hanging on her face.
"Anything is fine!" Qiu Canghai replied after pouring himself another cup of wine.
"Then I'll call you sister. You're not that old anyway!" Big Brother Canghai, why would the Pavilion Master you all speak of help elder sister? Is there a purpose to it? " His sister nodded and suddenly asked.
She had held this question in her heart for a long time. Although she wasn't that old yet, these past few years had seen through the bitterness of the world, seeing through the darkness and distortion of human nature. In her view of the world, no one could help her for no reason, and no one would not ask for alms in return.
As for that so-called 'master' who took care of his sister, could it be that he had taken a fancy to her beauty? I heard that rich families will have many wives and many concubines. Could it be that that person wants to take big sister as a concubine?
"You mischievous little girl, what are you thinking about in your mind? Your sister's physique is a physique that is hard to find in the world that can practice illusions, and the pavilion master similarly pitied your sister's suffering, so he kept her under his account. Also, your sister's position is not low at the moment, she's the pavilion master's second place figure! Are you thinking about how your sister was taken as a concubine? " How could Qiu Canghai not see through the thoughts of a little girl, and explain to the Pavilion Master and the rest of them while laughing.
"Then who's first?" Hearing that there was another person at the top of her sister's head, her sister asked.
"Haha ?" Qiu Canghai laughed towards the sky.
"It's this Big Brother Canghai in front of you!" Qiong Yu pointed at Qiu Canghai, and replied with a smile.
"Wow, you're so amazing! Then you must be a big shot, right? " His sister praised.
"A big shot? "Let's see who we can compete with!" Qiu Canghai answered simply.
It was true that he was still a minor figure compared to the emperor and the officials of the imperial court. However, if he were to be compared to these people of the lower class, he was an existence that these people could not hold their heads up against.
"Oh!" Then ? Then is your Pavilion Master handsome? Did he like his sister? " The younger sister cautiously glanced at her older sister, then softly asked.
"Haha ?" Qiu Canghai continued to laugh loudly.
"Damned girl, what are you talking about!" Qiong Yu who was at the side feigned anger and asked.
"Why are you always laughing! How strange! Am I wrong? " The younger sister did not respond to her sister's warning. She felt that this uncle in front of her was very easy to talk to, so she continued to speak.
"It's because you asked such a strange question, the pavilion master hasn't reached the level of a weakling yet. Even if he's handsome, what does that have to do with your sister?" Qiu Canghai finally stopped smiling and explained vaguely. To date, only a few people had ever seen the Pavilion Master's true appearance. The other members of the Listening Rain Pavilion only heard of him, but not the other people.
"What?" Such a young grade? Wouldn't that be similar to me? I thought he was in his seventies and eighties. " The little sister said in surprise. It was very hard for him to believe that someone who wasn't even twenty yet was able to save his sister from suffering, and was even able to lead so many powerful and extraordinary people. Wasn't he supposed to be an old man? Everything he saw was the same!
"Who told you he was seventy or eighty?" Qiong Yu asked in confusion.
"You guys are giving him such a wonderful talk. He knows everything and he can even command you guys. Of course he'll think that he's very old!" His sister said according to her own understanding.
"You mischievous spirit, hurry up and eat. The pavilion master will be back in a few days and you will see him!" Qiong Yu did not want to pursue this topic further, so he changed the topic and spoke.
