The biggest difference between the north and the south is the culture and customs, but for ordinary people, it may be the difference in climate. In the north, there is still snow, a land of ice and snow, and the cold is unusually cold, but in the south, it is already spring and everything is recovering.

Early in the morning, before dawn, a little boy walked out of the vermilion lacquer gate of a mansion compound. This little boy is still young, only seven or eight years old, and he wears a thick jacket, and it is rare for such a child to get up so early. Perhaps because it was still cold in the morning, he yawned as he walked to the street stall selling breakfast.

The boy shouted to the stall owner, "Uncle, bring me a drawer of xiaolongbao, a small plate of boiled dried shreds, a duck blood vermicelli, a small cake dumpling, and finally a mixed tofu." The stall owner was busy working, and when he heard this immature voice, he hurriedly raised his head. When he saw that it was him, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he smiled heartily: "The little friend is here again? I will prepare it for you right away if you want, please sit down for a while." ”

The boy was not afraid of the living, and when he saw that there were only two or three tables of people in the stall, he randomly found a low table and sat down. Xu was bored, so he just watched him take out the chopsticks in the bamboo tube, put them on the table and play with them, and seemed to be counting them slowly.

Yu Xuan and Li Fang had just come back from outside at this time, and they had been busy all night, and the two of them were also extremely tired, so they ordered some breakfast at random at this stall that sold breakfast. When the two saw the child, their hearts were slightly surprised, until a noble lady Shi Shiran came in the distance, and before she approached, she had already called in a coquettish voice: "Bin'er!" The child heard the call and hurriedly looked back. When he saw that it was her, he smiled and said, "Mother!"

"It turned out to be her!" Li Fang knew the identities of these two people as soon as she saw her appearance. It turned out that this person was Lan Yu's wife--Mrs. Kong, and this child was her parent-in-law Lan Bin. Mrs. Kong seemed to be extremely fond of him, kissed him on the cheek, and asked softly, "Have you ever eaten early?" Lan Bin smiled and shook his head, and said in a greasy voice: "I haven't eaten it, I will eat it with my mother when she comes!" Mrs. Kong touched his head approvingly, and said with a smile: "Chun'er likes pastries, but remember to bring them back to him." ”

The stall owner wiped his hands back and forth on his apron, and said with a smile on his face: "Madame, don't worry, the little young master has already ordered, and everything is ready for you!" Mrs. Kong pulled Lan Bin and bowed slightly to the stall owner, and said softly: "I'm tired!" Seeing this, the stall owner hurriedly waved his hands and said politely: "Madame has tormented the villain." Ling Gongzi is really knowledgeable, and it is really rare to be so filial and humble at such a young age. ”

Mrs. Kong smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." The stall owner hurriedly pulled out the small stool and said to her, "Madame, I'll give you breakfast right away." Mrs. Kong smiled and nodded, she rolled her eyes, but saw Li Fang's table again. She was slightly surprised in her heart, but she still pulled Lan Bin forward slowly. Li Fang hurriedly got up and saluted, "Fang'er has seen her aunt. Yu Xuan was shocked when he heard this, seeing that this woman was not very old, at most in her thirties, and she had not yet passed the age of confusion, and she was much higher than Li Fang's generation.

Mrs. Kong said a blessing, pulled Lan Bin, and said softly: "This is the dog Lan Bin." Bin'er, this is your nephew Li Fang, call someone quickly!" When Yu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, not knowing how Li Fang should face it.

It turns out that Li Shanchang and Lan Yu are both Zhu Yuanzhang's sons and daughters, this woman is Lan Yu's wife, so she is two generations older than Li Fang, and his children are naturally one generation higher than Li Fangpingbai!

Lan Bin seemed to feel that it was a little inappropriate to call him nephew, and hesitated for a long time before shouting timidly to Li Fang: "Brother Fang!" It turned out that Lan Bin saw that he was older than himself, so he was embarrassed to call him nephew, and only called him according to his age. Li Fang touched his head and said approvingly: "Bin'er is filial and respectful, it's really commendable!" Lan Bin heard him praise himself, Xu felt embarrassed, so he buried his head in Mrs. Kong's arms, refusing to look at a few more people, only occasionally raising his eyes to peek.

Mrs. Kong didn't care, and smiled apologetically at the two: "Bin'er is a little shy by nature, please don't be weird." Li Fang shook her head and said with a smile: "I heard my mother mention it earlier, saying that Bin'er is very cute, and it is true when I see it today." Mrs. Kong exchanged a few words with him, and finally couldn't help asking, "I don't know what you are doing here today?"

Yu Xuan and Li Fang glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Li Fang said helplessly: "We are here to find someone." Mrs. Kong was surprised: "Look at your tired faces, you haven't rested all night." But since it's looking for someone, why don't you let your subordinates look for it? You have to do it yourself?" Li Fang smiled bitterly: "I won't tell you, the personnel lost are very important, and I don't dare to alarm others, so I can only do it myself." ”

"Is there anything I can do for that?" asked Mrs. Kong. Li Fang shook his head and said, "Not yet, don't ask more, Madame." We haven't slept all night, we have to rush back to rest for a while, madam, please take care of yourself!" After he finished speaking, he left a piece of broken silver, turned around and left, walked two steps, and suddenly looked back at Lan Bin, only to see that Lan Bin was also secretly looking at this side. Li Fang smiled at him, turned around and left!

Princess Lin'an has been sleeping unsteadily since her husband Li Qi died, and she often dreams of him. She felt that she was responsible for her husband's death, so she would go to the study where Li Qi often went every afternoon to sit for a while, and clean up by the way. The **** went to the study to sit as usual, but found that there was a new pillar of incense in front of her husband's spiritual seat.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Qi's spiritual seat worships incense three times a day in the morning, afternoon, and evening, but it hasn't arrived at noon today, why is there already an incense line? When she turned around, she suddenly found a person sitting behind the desk, and the person ignored her, just looked down at a painting on the table and was stunned.

"Who are you?" Princess Lin'an asked, "Brother Qi's study is strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter, how did you get in?" At this moment, the sun outside is just right, but the room is tightly sealed around the room, and the position where the person is sitting is in the backlight, so it is not real. When the man heard the question, he smiled slightly, and said in a manly voice: "One or two years, sister-in-law will not come harm?" Princess Lin'an heard the voice and said in surprise: "Oh! It's Mr. Feng who is here!" Feng Linyuan slowly got up, walked to the light, smiled at her and said, "Yes! Xiaofeng took the liberty to disturb today, and asked my sister-in-law not to be surprised." ”

When he walked to the light, Princess Lin'an glanced at him, full of surprise, pointed at him and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Your hair ......" Feng Linyuan looked at the hair hanging down from his shoulders, and smiled helplessly: "Time is not forgiving! What's more, Xiaofeng is also a mortal body, and it is reasonable to be born, old, sick and die...... Alas!" Princess Lin'an said regretfully: "I heard Fang'er talk about it before, and he said that you were seriously injured when you were sad about Brother Qi. Alas, you have not yet passed the age of your establishment, and your temples are gray...... It's been a bitter thing for you in the past two years!" Feng Linyuan shook his head and said softly: "My body has already been fine. Well, sister-in-law, don't talk about me yet, how are you doing lately?"

"Everything is fine, my father and emperor also promoted Fang'er to the fourth rank lieutenant a few days ago, which can be regarded as inheriting Brother Qi's old position. Mao'er and Lan'er are about to get married, and my heart has finally settled. It's just that the girl is always away from home, so I'm a little worried! You have to talk about her for me in a while......" Princess Lin'an chattered endlessly as soon as she opened her mouth. She saw that Feng Linyuan just smiled and nodded, suddenly woke up, and asked strangely: "You suddenly went south, but is there something wrong?"

Feng Linyuan turned his head to look at the painting on the table, his face gradually turned cold, and he said casually: "Brother Qi has been dead for two years, and Xiaofeng has never come to visit. I don't want to go in my heart, and I came to incense as a tribute today. ”

Princess Lin'an has been well versed in the method of observing words and colors since she was a child, and when she saw that his eyes were flickering, she was not looking at people properly, and she obviously said something insincerely. Princess Lin'an knew that he must have something to hide from herself, but if he didn't say it, there must be a certain truth, and it was difficult for him to ask. She had no choice but to say, "Sir must have just arrived, I must have had lunch yet, I'll ask someone to prepare it for you." Feng Linyuan smiled and shook his head: "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I still have something to do, sit here for a while and leave." ”

Princess Lin'an looked at his tired face, knowing that he must have rarely rested recently, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "If Mr. is busy, just eat some snacks, drink a cup of tea, and rest." Feng Linyuan saw her hospitality, and it was inconvenient to push back, so he had to nod his head. When she was about to go out, Feng Linyuan suddenly said: "There is a young man named Wang Yuxuan who has been here in the mansion recently? ”

"Well, yes, sir, wait a minute. After Princess Lin'an finished speaking, she turned around and went out. After a while, suddenly a brisk step sounded, and then I saw Yu Xuan poke a head out of the door. He looked left and right until he saw the figure, and then his face was happy, and he said with a smile, "Master, you are here!" and said quickly, he ran over and grabbed his hand, and pretended to cry, "I miss me!" he said as he wiped his tears.

"You kid, you just got into trouble for me when you came out. Feng Linyuan smiled slightly, and tapped his head lightly before asking, "Has Jinxiu been found?" Yu Xuan covered his head, shook his head and said, "I haven't found it, we haven't found any clues along the way south." Feng Linyuan looked at him and sighed: "Alas! On weekdays, I ask you to practice hard, and you only know how to play." Well, now that four people can't stop two people, this face is a big shame!"

Yu Xuan was full of disbelief, and argued: "What four people." Senior Brother Zhu went to the dust for treatment, but he was not there. Besides, Senior Brother Zhang didn't make much of a move. My sister and I contributed, but although the martial arts of those two people were not very good, their light skills were extremely high. And they came prepared, we were caught off guard, which is why they ran away. ”

Feng Linyuan asked lightly: "Really?" Yu Xuan immediately stood up straight and swore to the sky: "Of course it's true, if there is a lie, the sky will thunder!" Feng Linyuan knew that although Yu Xuan was naughty, he would not deceive himself, and when he thought of this, his doubts were even heavier.

Yu Xuan suddenly lay on the table, supported by his elbows, held his face with both hands, and asked with a teasing expression: "Speaking of which, why have you never told us about your three children, Master?" Feng Linyuan felt slightly unhappy in his heart, took out a scroll from his arms and smashed it, and scolded with a smile in his mouth: "You still care about me?"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!It's just curiosity!" Yu Xuan's body turned, and he took the scroll but didn't return it, opening the scroll as he spoke, and after a skimming at it, he couldn't help but sigh. He looked up at Feng Linyuan and asked, "Master, what is Liezi Yufeng?" Feng Linyuan glanced at him deeply, and said slowly: "This is a volume of piano scores, and it is also a light body exercise, you can refer to it together with your master, and cooperate with the previous teaching of your changing customs and customs, so that you can make great progress in martial arts." ”

Yu Xuan pouted and said, "Master, don't you always say that my changing customs is a half-ass, why do you suddenly want to pass on my new kung fu?" Feng Linyuan nodded and said, "Alas! I only taught half of what you learned, and the change of customs is divided into two layers. You have only learned to transfer, not to transform. ”

When Yu Xuan heard this, he smiled shyly: "Why don't you pass on the method of transformation to me!" Feng Linyuan scolded with a smile: "Don't think about it, I won't teach you until you learn to be too weak, remember to be greedy and chew too much!" Yu Xuan sighed in a low voice: "Sister Aya has said that there are only three monsters like you in a thousand years, and I guess there is no hope in this life." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, I've been talking for a long time, what about Jinxiu?"

"I guess you've searched everywhere, but you still haven't found anything, right?" asked Feng Linyuan. Yu Xuan nodded again and again, and suddenly said with a serious face: "We have indeed searched everywhere in the past two days, but we still haven't found it." Because I was afraid that the other party had ulterior motives, I didn't dare to blatantly look for it, so I could only act in secret!"

Feng Linyuan thought for a moment and said to him: "You have also worked hard in the past two days, go back and rest for a while, and I will take care of the rest." Yu Xuan asked puzzledly: "Master, what are you going to do?" How is Guichen?" Feng Linyuan smiled bitterly: "This matter is very strange, I'm afraid there is something we didn't expect." If Guichen's expectation is good, he is young and ignorant, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold himself, and it is estimated that he will die for a lifetime!"

Just as the two were talking, Master Li also came in. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down to Feng Linyuan and said, "Uncle Feng is fine." Feng Linyuan's face softened slightly, helped her up, and said softly: "Okay! Seeing that you are in perfect spirits, full of heaven, and the light in your eyes, you have not let go of your martial arts in the past two years of wanting to come and go." Master Li nodded and smiled: "Uncle Feng's teachings have never dared to forget, since returning to Nanjing, the master has never let go of cultivation. She hesitated for a moment before she said, "It's just that this morning I found a letter in the hall, but it was for you." I saw her take out a letter from her bosom and hand it over.

Feng Linyuan took it casually, unfolded the envelope, and read it slowly: "Brother Feng Junjian: I heard that my brother came to Nanjing today, and I haven't seen him for many years, and I am very worried about it. Brother Fool is waiting in the house tonight with warm wine, please be sure to appreciate your face, brother Liang words!" Yu Xuan was on the side, looking at the handwriting was very vigorous and powerful, and the force penetrated the back of the paper, which had the charm of the ancients saying that it was three points into the wood.

Yu Xuan clapped his hands and couldn't help but admire: "Good words! Look at this handwriting is vigorous and simple, quite ancient-style!" Feng Linyuan glanced at him, and asked rhetorically: "You only see the handwriting, don't you see the sword intent between the gestures?" Yu Xuan smiled and shook his head: "No! But Master, your face is really big, before the person arrived, someone had already posted to invite you to dinner!"

"I'm afraid that there will be no good banquet, although others have not arrived, only an invitation came, but its edge has been revealed, I'm afraid that he is going to demonstrate with this!" Feng Linyuan sighed: "Okay! I will have this meeting with him sooner or later, and today is just the end of it!" Yu Xuan heard that there was a bustle to see, and hurriedly said: "Master, I don't worry about you going alone, I'll go with you, right?" Feng Linyuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that your kid wants to go and see the excitement, right?"

Yu Xuan was slightly unhappy, and his displeasure suddenly became prominent, and he pouted and shouted: "Hmph, Master, you don't believe me at all!" Feng Linyuan immediately gave him a violent shudder, and said in a deep voice: "If I believe you, why should I drive you out?" Yu Xuan heard him mention this matter, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth, and whispered in his ear: "Master, Senior Sister is also here! If you let them know that I was driven out by you, it would be so shameless!"

Master Li kept silent, and didn't care about the two of them frolicking, and only said at this time: "Uncle Feng has seen that something is wrong, so don't go alone, the little junior brother can still take care of him when he goes together." Feng Linyuan slapped Yu Xuan's hand away and chuckled: "You guys are thinking too much, I'm afraid I'm not the only guest at today's banquet! ”

If Yu Xuan wants to go, he will go and rest for a while, and then I will call you in the evening. Feng Linyuan said to the two: "I'm afraid there will be something big happening in the near future, you need to be careful!" The two of them said yes and retreated.
