When Xu Fang woke up in the morning, he should have slept on the sofa in the living room until Chen Zi was gone, and the blanket was neatly folded there.

Xu Fang thought about it and went to knock on You Li's door, but no one answered after knocking for a long time.

"Yuli. He said softly.

"Yuli?"

Still no one agreed.

"Then I'm in. ”

He gently pushed open the door, and looked through the crack in the door, there was no one on the bed, the door was wide open, and the warm sun in the room was blowing in his face, the bed table was spotless, the curtains moved slightly, and there was still the shadow of You Li.

Xu Fang was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around and walked quickly into his bedroom, and walked out while dialing her phone.

He thought, she wouldn't go with Chen Zi behind his back.

Xu Fang quickly changed her shoes, and when she pushed the door, she almost collided with the person who was about to enter at the same time, and the mobile phone in her hand was ringing.

"Why don't you answer the phone?"

You Li met this sentence with a split head and a face, coldly met his somewhat angry eyes, and hesitated: "This is not ...... When you get home, I don't want to waste your phone bill. ”

Xu Fang was stunned for a moment, You Li pushed him into the house slightly, bent down to change his shoes, "You want to go out, I didn't think you could go out so early, do you have something to do with calling me?"

"What about Chenzi?" Xu Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll give him something, if nothing else, he'll have to come over in two days, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you then." ”

Xu Fang said: "You sent him?"

Yuli: "Hmm. ”

Xu Fang: "It's not troublesome. ”

You Lihu glanced at him suspiciously, how could this person speak upside down.

You Li yawned, feeling that she was really sleepy, and it was not suitable for her to get up early in the morning, so she was about to go to the bedroom to make up for sleep, Xu Fang followed behind her, and followed her to the door of the bedroom, holding one hand against the door panel.

You Li's eyes were sleepy.

Xu Fang said: "You must greet me when you go out in the future, now is an extraordinary time, and it is not safe to go single." ”

You Li was stunned for a moment and nodded.

*

Wednesday.

Xuanyu Garden.

"Mr. Shen is waiting for you inside. The butler-like man led the two of them all the way inside from the door.

You Li's mood was rarely a little apprehensive, but Xu Fang was indifferent.

There are no less than ten wolf dogs in the park, their black and yellow hooves stepping on the iron fence, baring their teeth and showing fierce eyes, as if Xu Fang and his party are staring at some kind of delicious food.

Seeing that Xu Fang seemed to be quite interested, the housekeeper introduced: "Mr. Shen likes dogs since he was a child, don't look at these dogs are so fierce now, but they are more well-behaved in front of Mr. Shen." ”

Xu Fang nodded, the dog is the owner.

At this point, the road is almost over.

At the end of the road is an old building, with an antique appearance that complements the surrounding greenery.

"This Mr. Shen's taste is really good. ”

Taking advantage of the housekeeper's efforts to go in first, You Li whispered to Xu Fang.

Xu Fang tilted his head and chuckled, and listened to You Li's chatter: "Compared with Mr. Shen, my father is really vulgar." ”

also looks like rich people, Mr. Shen is like a Suzhou garden scene, chic and elegant, his father is a big money, nouveau riche, from the inside out, full of Lao Tzu rich.

The butler hurried out of the door, making a gesture of invitation, and the two of them went in one after the other.

The door was closed behind the two of them, and Yu Li didn't like the feeling of being closed, and she glanced back at the butler who closed the door.

Xu Fang pressed her shoulder soothingly, signaling her to feel at ease.

"Back hall please. ”

The butler's voice sounded coldly behind him, and his loose-skinned hand stretched out from You Li's side, You Li was startled, and Xu Fang's hand grabbed her waist and brought the person to his side.

In this way, the butler had already walked in front of the two of them and led to the side door of the back hall.

There is a long corridor behind the door, and there are ten bird cages hanging on the whole corridor, and as far as the eye can see, there are ten black crows.

Xu Fang frowned, the crow is a Japanese auspicious bird, but for most Chinese, the meaning is ominous, this Mr. Shen actually raised ten black crows with black hair and a majestic body.

You Li also felt abrupt, she felt like she had followed up on the haunted house.

She avoided the corners of Xu Fang's clothes that people pulled gently, Xu Fang lowered her head slightly, and she tiptoed, "This crow doesn't scream when it sees people, its eyes are staring at people, it's strange." ”

Xu Fang nodded, indeed, this corridor is quiet and scary, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be.

"It's here. ”

At that time, the housekeeper turned around and smiled at the two.

Then he pushed open the wooden door with both hands, and when he passed the crow corridor just now, Yu Li vaguely heard the tone of nothingness.

As soon as the door opened, it was finally clear.

In this house, the Yue opera "Dream of Red Mansions" is played.

There was no light in the room, but the lights were bright, I don't know how many wicks on the candlesticks were lit up, Shen Erjing sat on one side, leaning back on the back of the chair, holding the teacup.

As soon as the person arrived, he raised his eyelids slightly, his gaze skimmed over the housekeeper, and landed on Xu Fang, who was slowly coming in.

That face was staggered, overlapped, and finally pulled apart from the calm, frosty and arrogant face of sixteen years ago.

He smiled, full of anger.

"Hello Mr. Shen, my name is Xu Fang. ”

"Xu Chengbin's son?" Shen Erjing's voice was like that face, still young, but more calm than the young master back then.

Xu Fang: "Yes." ”

He asked, "Can you sing?"

Xu Fang: "I inherited my father's mantle when I was 14, and now I work in the Yue Opera Troupe and can sing two sentences. ”

Shen Erjing: "Sing and listen." ”

The housekeeper stepped aside, You Li opened his mouth to say something, and put a reassuring look at Shang Xu and took a step back to wait.

Shen Erjing is notoriously bad-tempered, and seeing it is already giving them a lot of face, and it is not too much to ask for two sentences.

Moreover, they have the first to ask for it.

The original singing words in the room and the voice of the male dans were stacked together, each with its own charm, and Shen Erjing tilted his head to look at Xu Fang's face.

It seems that on that day, in the Qinghe Spiritual Temple, he sits, the man stands, he listens, and the man sings.

The candle flame flickered, and there was silence on all sides, only breathing spread.

Shen Erjing lowered his head and twisted the jade wrench on his thumb, "When I saw you back then, you were only in your teens, and the little kid who was just as tall as my waist is now very promising." ”

He laughed: "To tell you the truth, I think you sing better than your father, he is too stubborn, too stubborn, like a piece of wood, difficult to break." ”

"Mr. Shen. ”

Shen Erjing raised his hand and intercepted Xu Fang's words.

"Lao Zhang, you go feed those dogs of mine. ”

The butler bowed and exited the room.

Shen Erjing got up slowly, pointed to the incense burner facing the entrance hall and said, "Shangzhu incense, I will tell you everything you want to know." ”

Xu Fang somehow, he just knew that he had to do it.

There was a box of fine incense under the incense burner, and Shen Erjing seemed to notice You Li when he went to light the incense.
