Su Xun knew that his mother had always had a good impression of Xiao Rui. After all, since he was a child, Xiao Rui has been humble and polite in front of his elders, and now, although he has made meritorious contributions, he does not take credit at all on the surface, and the more low-key he is, the more he is not a flamboyant person, but it makes people feel good.

Naturally, if you don't talk about this, the top-notch appearance alone is also very pleasing to the mother's eyes.

At this point, Su Xun really followed her mother's mother, leaving everything aside, no matter how she looked at Xiao Rui, she felt very eye-catching. However, when I think of his cruel nature, even if it is pleasing to the eye, I dare not take another look.

At this time, hearing his mother mention Xiao Rui, Su Xun remembered that Xun Jiu had not actually seen Xiao Rui in person, but had only heard the Queen Mother mention it, and although she had seen it, she could only see the back, and if she knew his identity, she would not pay much attention to it.

Su Xun raised her eyes and saw Tao Shi in a cloud-patterned brocade skirt with a silver background, smiling on her delicate face with a little powder, she really looked expectant, she pursed her lips slightly, frowned, but pretended to be puzzled: "Mother, which is the son of King Xu?"

Tao Shi saw his daughter's doubts, but he was not surprised, thinking that his daughter was only five or six years old at that time, she was seriously ill, and her brain had not been very bright, and she had never met Xu Wang Shizi in the past seven years, and it was normal not to remember.

Tao thought about it, but reminded unhurriedly: "It's the prince of King Xu who chased after you to marry him when you were a child, and then you were kidnapped and saved your life." "These are all very impressive things, but I'm not afraid that the little girl won't remember it.

Saying this, Su Xun only felt that his scalp was tight, but he was afraid that his mother would say something again, so he immediately suddenly realized and said, "...... Oh, it's him, I can't even remember what he looks like. ”

It's just that as soon as the words came out, I immediately listened to Tao Shi and said, "Yes, that's just right, another day, I asked your second brother to bring the prince of Xu Wang to sit in the mansion, how can you forget the appearance of this life-saving benefactor?"

Su Xun was stunned, her mother's words always sounded a little wrong, why did she keep mentioning the words "life-saving benefactor", could it be difficult to let her "make a personal promise"? And why did she suddenly mention that she wanted Xiao Rui to come to the house, or let the second brother bring it, she didn't want the second brother to be involved with Xiao Rui.

Although I asked the second brother last time, I knew that he was just a brotherly to Xiao Rui, but he got along every day, Xiao Rui was scheming, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would be "bent" if he was not careful, and it would be too late to cry.

And now, since the mother has already mentioned this, I am afraid that she has already made up her mind, Su Xunzi did not dare to refute it, only bowed her head slightly, nodded her head and said yes, but she secretly said in her heart: She really has to find an opportunity as soon as possible to let the second brother recognize Xiao Rui's good manhood, otherwise, if she continues to get along, maybe the second brother will change......

……

At this time, Xiao Rui, who galloped all the way back to the house, just got off the carriage and returned to the study in the house, and someone handed over a letter, which was left by King Xu, and there were only a few pens in the letter, only saying that he had left Kyoto and went to Saibei to relax.

"Did she go too?" Xiao Rui finished reading the letter and said without a wave.

The "she" in these words is the woman who lives in the mansion, she is called "Mrs. Ying" by her father, she is an unspeakable person in the mansion, and to him, she is also a strange and familiar person.

But in any case, he had to admit that Madame Ying was a legendary woman, and that she was as skilled as any well-trained secret guard in terms of martial arts, and that she had quite her own opinions, and that she always had all sorts of strange ideas, which she applied to business, to teaching, and even to the development of weapons......

Also, there is also a set of people who win people's hearts, for example, the person who is standing in front of him is a little girl who is only twelve or thirteen years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and should be an orphan brought back by her from the border not long ago.

It's really a look of admiration, yes, but even he admires it a little, but if it weren't for his mother's mother......

Xiao Rui accepted the letter calmly, thoughtfully, but when his faint eyes fell on the extra scroll on the desk, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he didn't say much, but said, "If you have nothing to do, you can step down." ”

And when the little girl retreated, Xiao Rui slowly opened the painting scroll, and a picture of peach blossoms came into his eyes, peach blossoms, pink, although it is not good, but as long as it is the handwriting of that person, he naturally likes it.

At this time, a man in black slowly walked out of the dark part of the room, but his figure was the horseman who accompanied him last time, he walked in front of Xiao Rui, looked at Xiao Rui with a pair of eyes, carefully took out a note from his sleeve, and said, "Master." ”

Xiao Rui put down the scroll and glanced at it, what was written on it was about that person's events today, some expected, some unexpected, and all of this had not yet left his control.

Xiao Rui thought about it, and gently rubbed the note, at this moment, the man in black seemed to remember something, looked at the master whose face did not change, but whispered a word in his ear in embarrassment.

And as soon as these words came into his ears, his handsome face immediately frowned, and a pair of eyes narrowed slightly, and the clear-eyed man knew that he was a little angry at a glance, and the man in black stood aside, bowing his head, and did not dare to say more.

Xiao Rui was also silent, he frowned, as if he remembered something at any time, his brows relaxed, he raised his lips, took a pen from the table, wrote a sentence on a piece of paper, and handed it to the man in black: "Send it to the Rongguo Mansion." ”

……

At night, the moon is dim, the stars are sparse, and there is a breeze blowing from time to time, which is really a good day to get out of the house.

Su Xun remembered that she hadn't traveled to Kyoto City at night for many days, and she was also worried about Xiao Rui's affairs, so she began to miss all kinds of snacks on the street, and when the Rongguo Mansion was quiet, she changed into a blue dress that was easy to walk on, and wore a white tulle hat on her head, and went to the west corner gate alone.

There, Lian Wu opened the door, and Shui Li led the deer to stand outside the door, waiting early.

Seeing that her own girl was coming, Lian Wu hurriedly opened the door to let her out, and Shuili waited for her to ride on the deer.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in half an hour. Su Xun sat on the back of the deer, glanced at the worried looks of the two maids, comforted him, and then called "Wonton, go", and let the deer move forward.

But before she had gone far, she saw a familiar figure running out of the south gate, which immediately made her quickly turn the deer and hide by the wall.

Su Xun cautiously poked his head out, and when he saw that the figure disappeared into the night quickly, he couldn't help but wonder: Where is the second brother going so late?

……

At this time, Su Jue didn't notice Su Xun's figure, he walked briskly, but he was full of heart to go to the appointment.

It's just that when he reached his destination, he still stopped with some hesitation, and his heart was a little complicated at the moment.

Su Jueyuan raised his eyes and looked at the tall building in front of him, this is the place where Xiaobai asked him to meet, called "Spring Breeze Pavilion".

And this spring breeze hall is not elsewhere, it is a place of fireworks, but it is more special, it is a famous small hall in Kyoto, which is dedicated to good men to play.

How could Xiaobai pick this place?

Su Xuanyuan listened to the laughter and laughter coming from the Spring Breeze Pavilion, his brows frowned, but he thought that it was a brotherly appointment, and it was not good to break the appointment, so he hesitated for a moment, but decided to step in.

But after his feet stepped forward for half a step, he heard a ridiculous voice from the side: "Yo, isn't this Su Gongzi? I didn't expect that this Yaxing would also come here to play~"

It was Xun Jiu who was wearing men's clothes who spoke, she looked at Su Jueyuan with a smile on her face, and when she saw that face was hesitant, the smile on her face was even worse.

Su Jueyuan didn't expect to meet Xun Jiu at this moment, he panicked, but as soon as he remembered that he was drugged by her last time and turned himself into a pig's head, somehow, a surge of anger surged up, and he immediately said stiffly: "What, do you allow you, who is neither a man nor a woman, to go in and play?"

Xun Jiu didn't get angry when he heard what he said, he was still smiling on his face, but he stepped forward and said, "Since that's the case, let's go in together." As he spoke, he made a gesture to pull his sleeve.

Su Jueyuan suffered a loss last time, how dare she touch herself at this time, and hurriedly took a few steps back. Seeing him like this, Xun Jiu smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't step forward, and for a while, the two seemed to be deadlocked.

At this time, Su Jueyuan saw an acquaintance slowly walking behind Xun Jiu, which made him take a deep breath, but he couldn't help but harden his head and called: "Captain Xiang." "Right now, he has also joined the army, and he is under Xiang Lin, so he can't turn a blind eye and immediately dodge.

When Xun Jiu heard this, he couldn't help but look back, and saw that not far away, a tall man with a naked body led a tall gray horse and walked slowly.

Xiang Lin just rode back from the horse, and the horse was frightened and uncontrolled for no reason during the day, but he could check it out, and he didn't find anything abnormal, but he was afraid that the horse had a hidden disease, and he was afraid that it would be unfavorable on the battlefield in the future.

And he saw Su Jueyuan standing in front of the small pavilion from afar, and he also wondered if he should go over to say hello, but thinking that Su Jueyuan was the second brother of that person, he felt that there were some things he should do that he didn't see. But now that he heard Su Jueyuan call him, he shouldn't care about it, so he naturally didn't care about it, so he answered, walked over slowly, stopped beside the two, raised his eyes, and saw Xun Jiu, at this time, he had learned that the woman was the famous Xun Divine Doctor, and had saved Su Xun's life, and called respectfully: "Xun Divine Doctor." ”

Xun Jiu was staring at the exposed wheat-colored pectoral muscles in a daze, and when she heard Xiang Lin calling her, she swallowed her saliva before she answered, "Ah, it turned out to be the handsome boy in the day." She rolled her eyes, saw the two of them standing side by side in front of her, and said, "Did you make an appointment with Su Gongzi?"

Xiang Lin originally wanted to say hello and leave, but now that he heard Xun Jiu say this, and saw Su Jueyuan's hesitant look, he couldn't help but guess: Could it be that Su Jueyuan is visiting here for the first time, and he lacks some courage, so he naturally can't sit idly by, after all, this may be his brother-in-law in the future......

And although he has never visited the land of fireworks, think about what this little pavilion is, it is a group of gentlemen, so he patted Su Jueyuan on the shoulder, grabbed him, and took it inside without saying anything, and said, "Go, Brother Su, I'll accompany you!"

"No, that I ......" Su Jueyuan's heart was a little broken at the moment, he obviously made an appointment with Xiaobai to meet here, who would have thought that he would meet such two people, so hard that she seemed to really come to visit the small restaurant, and he was not good at telling the real reason, so he had to let the "upright" Xiang Lin pull him in.

Seeing this, Xun Jiu smiled and glanced around as if unintentionally, and also followed.

At the same time, at the mouth of the alley diagonally opposite, the old man who sold wonton noodles glanced at the little girl wearing a hat on the seat, and saw that she was looking into the distance, while poking the wonton noodles in the bowl, which was about to be punctured......
