Chapter 213 'Beating Mandarin Ducks with Sticks'
Jiao'er returned to Camellia Island in Beiminghai. Although the wounds on his body and face were aching, it didn't affect his good mood at all. With the medicine bottle in his arms, the smile on his face was extremely gentle.
He quickly landed in his courtyard and stepped into the inner room, "Mother, I'm back!" He walked in excitedly.
When she entered the door, she saw Qing Dai sitting on the edge of the bed, arranging some clothes, Jiao'er was a little confused, but she didn't think too much about it, and went to sit beside her.
"Are you back?" Qing Dai smiled when she heard the words, and picked up a blue long-sleeved robe in her hand and compared it to him, "It's time to come back, mother made some new clothes for you, come quickly Try it." She smiled at him.
"Mother, this is not urgent, I have something to tell you, I..." Jiao'er was just about to tell her about Geng Chen's gift of medicine.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Qing Dai interrupted him, "Hurry up! How can you not be in a hurry? You change your clothes soon, I'll take you to see Aunt Yun and the others."
"Why do you want to see Aunt Yun and the others?" After hearing this, Jiao'er felt a little bad for some reason.
"Naturally, I'm going to congratulate you." Qing Dai's smile remained unchanged, "Your Aunt Yun has twins, one son and one daughter, isn't it great joy?"
"It's really a great joy." The bad feeling in Jiao'er's heart became more and more intense at this time. He could even guess what his mother was going to say next, and he got up quickly, "Aunt Yun got what she wanted, and my son is also happy for her." I'm happy, I'm going to prepare a congratulatory gift." After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out.
"Stop!" Seeing his avoidance, the smile on Qing Dai's face instantly disappeared.
"Mother, what else is there?" Jiao'er couldn't wait to avoid this topic, but now she had to stop, turned back, bowed her hands, and asked respectfully.
"You know!" Qing Dai got up and stood up, approaching him step by step, without beating around the bush, and said bluntly, "Your Aunt Yun has a daughter now, and I had a marriage with her at the beginning, so, you and..."
"Mother!" Jiao'er was also anxious when he heard the words, he raised his voice and looked at her and said, "I remember I said a long time ago that Aunt Yun's daughter and I have no destiny!" He emphasized.
"What do you mean no fate?" Seeing him like this, Qing Dai knew that he really took Geng Chen to heart, but the more she was like this, the more worried she became, and reprimanded her with a straight face, "Your Aunt Yun and I know each other well. , and arrange a marriage for you, that is the fate of the two of you."
"You know how Aunt Yun has treated us all these years." Qing Dai glanced at him and reminded. "Jiao'er, you can't be dishonest, let alone ungrateful!"
"Mother! Aunt Yun's kindness to us, I remember it in my heart, but it can't be exchanged with my feelings!" Jiao'er tried to persuade her, "Besides, I don't believe what I say. I have never promised this marriage, how do you want me to fulfill the thing that I have never given my nod to?"
"Then you mean, mother is forcing you?" Qing Dai pursed her lips when she heard the words, and asked back.
"Isn't it?" Jiao'er didn't want to contradict her, their mother and son rarely confronted each other like this, or almost never, he would promise his mother everything, but only this matter, he wanted to obey his heart, so he Avoiding her eyes, he asked softly.
"You!" Qing Dai was choked by him for a moment, she didn't know what to say, her chest heaved unceasingly, she was not angry because her son contradicted her, but worried because he was in a dangerous situation without knowing it, so With the ups and downs of mood swings, Qing Dai felt a little dizzy.
"Mother, don't be angry," Jiao'er saw this, immediately stepped forward to support her, and helped her to sit down, "It was my fault, I shouldn't have contradicted you." Worried about her body, he admitted his mistake.
"In that case, Jiao'er, then listen to your mother and agree..." Seeing that his attitude softened, Qing Dai was about to continue persuading him.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiao'er supported her with one hand, and took out a jade bottle from her bosom with the other, "Mother, look, this is the medicine I specially asked for you from Senior Shangqing, Gu Benpei Yuan, try it quickly and see how it works." Then, he poured out a white jade-like pill, poured her a glass of warm water by the way, and handed it to her.
Before taking the medicine, just holding the medicine in her hand, Qingdai could feel the extraordinary, she felt much lighter, seeing Jiao'er looking at her earnestly, she couldn't resist, she took the medicine together with warm water , soon felt warmer and more comfortable all over, and even his face was rosier.
"It's really good medicine," Qing Dai said sincerely, "You said just now that you got it from Shangqing?" She glanced at him and asked.
"Well," Jiao'er nodded, "Didn't I go to Kunlun Mountain to look for Geng Chen before, and I happened to meet him and Senior Shangqing, Geng Chen took the medicine I sent and gave me the ointment for wounds, I Hearing him talk about the extraordinary medical skills of Senior Shangqing, I asked him to help me find medicine."
"You mean, this is Geng Chen begging for it?" Qing Dai couldn't help but feel moved when she heard this at this time, "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier, he is a good boy who values love and righteousness. ' She couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
'Unfortunately, he is the lover of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor. Thinking of this, Qing Dai couldn't help sighing, if Geng Chen was an ordinary child, it would be a beautiful thing to fulfill Jiao'er and him, but he is not!
Sanqing's disciple, Donghuang's lover, no matter what their identities are, they are beyond the reach of their mother and son.
Although Shangqing Tongtian is a man of temperament and doesn't ask about his background, Qingdai knows that Yuqing Yuanshi hates the demon clan the most, and even has a bad relationship with the demon master!
As for Jiao'er, he has half the blood of the snake clan, and he is also a direct disciple of the demon master Kunpeng. No matter which one, he can't please Sanqing!Not to mention, wanting to know and fall in love with their beloved little disciple.
From another point of view, Geng Chen is the lover of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor. According to the news she got from her mother, Bai Zhen, in the eyes of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor, there is nothing wrong with it!If he knew, someone would dare to covet his sweetheart.I'm afraid it's just like what the queen mother said, even a happy death is an extravagant hope!
Therefore, even though Qingdai knew that Gengchen was a good boy, and Jiao'er had already fallen in love with him, but now, she had to be a villain and cut off this fate that shouldn't have.
Qing Dai made up her mind to get rid of Jiao'er's thoughts, but she didn't mention it anymore, so as not to arouse Jiao'er's rebellious psychology, but changed the topic and cared about Jiao'er's injuries.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Jiao'er also breathed a sigh of relief, and followed her words, but he couldn't help explaining the matter of Geng Chen begging for medicine for him in detail, and his brows and eyes were full of happiness Looking at this look, Qing Dai became more and more worried.
But at this time, how is the progress of Yunmeng who went to discuss marriage with Ao Run on the other end?
In the West Sea Dragon Palace, in the nursery room, Ao Run and Yun Meng were sitting face to face, talking.
"Cousin, don't you think this is too hasty and hasty?" Ao Run couldn't help but disapprove when she heard her mention the verbal agreement back then. He looked at her tactfully and said, "What happened back then, I thought you Just kidding."
"Then I'll tell you now, I'm serious!" Yunmeng raised her hand to pick up her teacup, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at him, and said seriously.
"What's wrong with Jiao'er? He is proficient in all aspects of culture and martial arts. He has high spiritual power, high moral character, and extraordinary handsome appearance. I don't understand. What else are you dissatisfied with?" Yunmeng couldn't figure it out. Why is he doing this.
"Yes, I admit, what you said is right," Ao Run nodded, "But, isn't our daughter just born? She hasn't broken her shell yet, but now, Jiao'er is over 1 years old. Can the two of them get along?" He was a little worried.
"Age is not a problem!" Yunmeng still thought he was worried about something, and when she said this, she waved her hands disapprovingly, "I think back then, the age gap between my father, monarch and mother was more than ten thousand years, but in the end, they were still very loving Is it?" She even cited the example of her own parents.
"Even if age is not a problem, his identity is really inappropriate." Ao Run endured and endured, but in the end he couldn't hold back. "Cousin, although I don't value parentage, don't other clansmen think too much about it? Jiao'er, he is not a dragon after all!" He expressed the most worrying thing in his heart.
"So what? Does His Majesty Zhulong value him as much?" Yunmeng hit the nail on the head. "In my Dragon Clan, bloodlines are important, but being favored by elders and being strong enough is even more important! As long as you have strength, everything is at your fingertips!" She raised her chin and said this.
"However, I'm still worried that if I make a marriage contract rashly now, it will cause a couple of bitter couples," Ao Run was still very worried.
The two of them were talking, and Zhulong and Dongting Water Monarch happened to come to the West Sea Dragon Palace together to see the newborn dragon child. When they came to the nursery together, they happened to hear the two of them arguing in the room.
"Cousin, why don't you think about it? Anyway, we can't disregard our daughter's wishes, so let's make a marriage contract for her and Jiao'er."
"Also, even if the sister-in-law agrees to the marriage, then Jiao'er may not agree. Even if Jiao'er agrees, we haven't asked about the third brother. Anyway, the third brother is also Jiao'er Father, it seems inappropriate not to inform Third Brother about his son's marriage."
……
Ao Run in the room was trying to delay this matter, trying to persuade Yunmeng, but before they reached an agreement, he heard a familiar male voice coming in!
"Don't think about it anymore! I'm in charge of this matter, and I agree!"
Before the words finished, Zhulong and Dongting Shuijun came together, and the words just now were exactly what Zhulong said!
