Chapter 110: The Straight Man
Chapter 110: The Straight Man
In the small building in the backyard of Yunfuji, Ling Chuan was concentrating on writing a manuscript. He had not yet finished the script he promised Tao Ran.
To be honest, Ling Chuan is not good at this. He scratched his head all night and only wrote two or three hundred words.
After thinking it over, he simply tore up all the manuscripts he had worked so hard on for most of the night, then sat on a chair, crossed his feet and looked out the window.
The full moon outside the window reminded him of the beauty of that night. Lu Xi had not been to Yunfu Ji for a long time.
After thinking about it, Ling Chuan simply stood up and stuck his head out of the window: "Chuyi, Chuyi!"
With a whoosh, a figure flew up from downstairs and stood on the windowsill, facing Ling Chuan with his side face: "Mr. Ling, is there something wrong?"
Ling Chuan took two steps back and waved at him: "It's okay, come in and chat."
Chuyi was slightly stunned, then he quickly entered the room, and then at Lingchuan's signal, he sat opposite him, but his face was still turned sideways. Lingchuan could only see his straight nose, which revealed a ruthless aura.
Ling Chuan said, "You've been here for such a long time, why hasn't your junior sister ever come to see you?"
Chuyi's expression did not show any change: "I communicate with Chujiu almost every day."
Ling Chuan was stunned. This guy was hiding something very well. "How did you communicate with him?"
Chuyi still didn't move: "There are a few pigeons in the backyard, don't you know?"
Ling Chuan slapped his head, yes, why didn't I think of writing a letter, but he asked again: "What do you talk about with your junior sister every day?"
Chuyi then rolled his eyes and glanced at Lingchuan: "Of course it's news about you."
"what?"
Ling Chuan was stunned: "You talk about me with your junior sister all day long?"
"Of course, I will be responsible for passing your news to Chujiu every day, and Chujiu will inform the young lady."
Ling Chuan was stunned: "You...are you spying on me?"
Chuyi retracted his gaze from Lingchuan: "This is my mission."
Ling Chuan was speechless, but he quickly remembered the purpose of chatting with him: "No, then don't you and your junior sister talk about some private matters?"
Chuyi's eyes were a little vague, and he looked out the window: "We didn't talk about any personal matters, but Chujiu always likes to talk about some trivial things in life recently."
"..."
Ling Chuan finally understood that this Chu Da Xia was a straight man: "Chu Yi, have you married yet?"
"I am a Taoist priest."
"..." Ling Chuan choked: "Does your sect have a rule that prohibits marrying a wife?"
"You can marry her."
"Then how did you..."
"I haven't thought about it."
"Well... think about it, if there is a woman who likes you very much and wants to marry you, would you consider it?"
This time, Ling Chuan saw from the side that Chuyi's eyes started to turn. It seemed that this question was giving him some headaches.
After a long time, Chuyi finally said, "My master hasn't married either."
Ling Chuan almost rolled his eyes: "What does your master's not getting married have to do with whether you get married or not?"
"Because I want to serve my master."
Ling Chuan couldn't help rolling his eyes: "You are in the capital now, how can you serve your master? You have to marry a wife. When you are not with your master, your wife can serve your master on your behalf. In the future, when you and your wife have children, your children can also serve your master..."
Before he could finish his words, Ling Chuan felt a cold gaze looking at him, which scared him.
But Chuyi said slowly: "What you said makes sense."
Ling Chuan breathed a sigh of relief: "So, you have to work hard. Your master is not young anymore, and he can still enjoy a few more years of happiness."
"My master is only forty-three years old."
Ling Chuan scratched his head. When he heard Cao Huanchun talking about Taixuan Zhenren from Mount Zhongnan, he thought he was an old Taoist with a white beard. He didn't expect that he was only in his forties.
"Then you should hurry up and get married and have children. Your master can help you raise the child. I guess your master is more capable than you. Wouldn't he be better at raising the child than you?"
Chuyi's eyes began to roll again, and after a while he said, "Then how can I get a wife and have children?"
Ling Chuan exhaled, and after talking for a long time, he finally got to the point: "So do you have a crush on someone?"
"What is a sweetheart?"
"It's the girl you admire and like. You can't help but feel happy when you think of her. When you can't see her, you always worry about her having an accident. She always makes you worry about her."
Chuyi looked up at the sky and said slowly, "This is a bit too much."
Ling Chuan couldn't help but exclaimed, I didn't expect that this straight man is also a sea king?
Then he heard Chuyi say: "When I was on the mountain, I was thinking about my fellow apprentices who came down the mountain for training. Now that I'm down the mountain, I'm thinking about my master and others on the mountain..."
Ling Chuan gave up, so this guy had to communicate with him directly: "Let me put it this way, if you were asked to marry and have children right now, who would you choose?"
Chuyi blurted out: "Of course it's the ninth day."
Just when Ling Chuan was thinking that this was right, Chu Yi added: "Among the women I know, Chu Jiu is the closest to me. If things are urgent, I can only choose her."
Ling Chuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to continue the topic for a long time. In the end, he could only wave his hand helplessly: "Forget it, I need to rest, you should rest early too."
"it is good!"
As soon as Chuyi finished speaking, he floated out of the window.
Ling Chuan thought about it and decided that since he couldn't explain it to this straight single guy, he could only write a letter to Lu Xi himself. He had to report his whereabouts to Lu Xi almost every day anyway, so asking him to bring a letter was just a matter of convenience.
At the same time, in the Cining Palace, Lu Xi was chatting with the Queen Mother. It was called a chat, but in fact, Lu Xi was just trying to sound out her mother's attitude.
However, she was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she could only talk about things happening in the court. When she really couldn't find any topic to talk about, the empress dowager finally spoke.
"You, do you really need to beat around the bush when talking to your mother? If you have something to say, just ask directly. Why keep it in for the whole night?"
Lu Xi blushed slightly, and her eyes dodged: "Then... then the Queen Mother has met him several times, what do you think of him?"
The Queen Mother sighed quietly: "My son has good vision and is a good person, but..."
"Just what?"
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Xi with a burning gaze: "Xi'er, if you were a princess, I would not object to this, but you must be clear about your identity. As the emperor, you are responsible for the rise and fall of the entire Dasheng, so I think you'd better choose someone who can help you."
When Lu Xi heard that his mother was against this matter, he hurriedly explained: "Mother, although this man is a businessman, he is quite talented. It was thanks to him that the flood in Jiangzhou Prefecture was resolved..."
The Queen Mother waved her hand to stop Lu Xi: "Mother knows he is capable and talented, but Dasheng is now in decline. What you need is a towering tree, not a sapling. Even if he achieves success in the future, it will not be enough to solve your urgent needs."
