"Where did you go just now?Why did it take so long?" As soon as Xu Ruolan sat down, she was asked by her father Xu Dongting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh, I just had a bit of an upset stomach, so I delayed. Xu Ruolan said, pointing to her lower abdomen.

As a father, he naturally understood the meaning of his daughter's words in seconds, "Oh, then let's go." I feel bad if I stay here any longer. Then he left the table.

But who knows, as soon as Xu Dongting got together, he was seen by Guo Yunhai in the distance, and ran over with a wine glass.

"Brother Xu, I didn't expect to meet you here today, I thought you wouldn't come. Guo Yunhai was surprised.

This Guo Yunhai is one of the most famous businessmen among the monks of the Cold City. Not only is it in charge of the largest inn and pawnshop in Cold City, but also the largest gambling house and brothel are controlled. Like the Yuelai Inn where Li Ming lived before, there is a stake in Guo Yunhai. It can be said that immortals eat all, and make money at both ends.

This time, Mrs. Han celebrated her birthday, so she naturally came to celebrate her birthday. It's just that I don't know why this Xu family is coming over, didn't the two families fight a few years ago over a nameless mountain, is it reconciled?

"I came here today, just to respect Mrs. Han's high morality, and I have no other intentions. Xu Dongting explained.

Because Xu Dongting and Guo Yunhai have also been old customers and friends for many years, so, after Guo Yunhai's stay, Xu Dongting couldn't leave for a while, so he sat next to Guo Yunhai and chatted, and it happened that Guo Yunhai had some business recently that Xu Dongting needed to help take care of, so the two chatted very happily.

Xu Ruolan had to sit beside her father and wait for her father.

During this period, it was discovered that Han Qi took turns toasting with others, drinking nonsense, and later, he was helped to the side room.

Xu Ruolan naturally knew why Han Qi was so out of shape, and her heart was distressed and painful, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly: "If it wasn't for the lantern festival with the maid Huan'er, how would I have met Han Qi." Alas, since it is destined to be fateful, why bother to fall in love. ”

As soon as he thought of the lantern festival, Han Qi's handsome figure immediately appeared in front of him.

On that day, it happened to be spring in March, and Xu Ruolan was very interested in hearing the maid Huan'er talk about the custom of mortal men and women in Hancheng borrowing lanterns to go on a blind date. The two then ran out, each carrying a lantern, to see the mortal blind date.

Although the appearance of this ring is considered to be middle and upper-class, Xu Ruolan was already born delicate and refined, and she cultivated immortals with an extraordinary temperament. Therefore, as soon as the two came, they immediately attracted the attention of many unmarried young people in Hancheng.

Among them, Han Qi who came out to hang out.

I saw that the lanterns in this ring were: "Mountains and rivers, warblers and swallows everywhere." ”

The lantern of this Xu Ruolan is linked to "lotus stems, lotus roots, lotus moss, hibiscus and peony stamens are fragrant." ”

You know, the lanterns in this ring are still better, but this Xu Ruolan's lanterns, the capital of each word is the same, if you want to make the next couplet, the radical of each word in the lower link must also be consistent.

Now, it will be difficult for all the scholars. Everyone passed on ten, ten spread hundreds, and rushed to it. What he did was not to make the next link, but to see Xu Ruolan's demeanor.

From then on, no matter where Xu Ruolan went, she would be followed by a large group of scholars and idlers, and from time to time there were people who were not interested in harassing her, or trying to make a mistake in a crooked way. But no matter what the right thing is, it will be immediately judged by the group of scholars behind Xu Ruolan, until it is approved without a complete prescription.

When Xu Ruolan came, she wanted to have fun and take a look at other people's love histories and anecdotes. But who would have thought that right now, he has become that "someone else". Facing the group of scholars behind him, he will attract attention wherever he goes. If my father knew about this, he would have to be disciplined when he went back.

Just when Xu Ruolan and Huan'er looked sad, but there was nothing to be done, a local scoundrel, after seeing Xu Ruolan's fairy posture, suddenly lost his soul, swallowed his saliva, and quickly stepped forward to stop the two.

"Yo, handsome chick, whose family are you? Why have I never seen you?" asked the scoundrel with a hippie smile.

"Go aside. Xu Ruolan said in disgust.

"Hey, hey, I'm angry, brother, I like to be energetic. ”

"Fuck off. Huan'er saw that this scoundrel had made the young lady angry, and immediately shouted.

"Second-rate, Miss Ren told you to get out, didn't you hear? Why don't you hurry up and get away, sweep Miss Yaxing, can you afford it?" said one of the beings behind him.

"That's it, that's it, get out of here, it's not sweeping our interest. The rest chimed in.

This scoundrel was reprimanded by the beauty, but at this moment he was scolded by these weak scholars who he had always looked down on, and he was immediately full of anger, and in front of the beauty, he must not lose face, so he took out a dagger from his arms, pointed at the scholars and shouted: "Which of you just told me to get out, you have the ability to stand up and see if I don't poke you a few holes today." Who? Who said that?"

These scholars usually deal with books, and they are good at dancing and writing, but they are really not good at hand-to-hand combat. Besides, everyone was thinking that others would come out first, and they were not interested in fighting with this scoundrel, so no one spoke up for a while.

"What's the matter? Speak? Who will come first? See if I don't kill you today. When the scoundrel saw that no one was silent, he thought that everyone was afraid of him, so he became even more arrogant, and stepped forward with a dagger, and made random gestures.

When the beings saw each other's fierce expressions and daggers in their hands, they all stepped back one after another, for fear that the other party would mistake them for the person who had just spoken.

was troubled by the other party, Xu Ruolan and Huan'er happened to be able to get out, and trotted all the way into a nameless alley.

This frightened Xu Ruolan and the others into panicking, and they turned around and ran into a dead end.

Just as the two of them were about to fly out, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside them, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, come with me." Then, a big hand grabbed Xu Ruolan's left hand, and involuntarily took the second daughter to hide in a courtyard next to her.

When the man closed the courtyard door, Xu Ruolan quietly sacrificed a medium-grade spiritual weapon, the green hidden blade, to prevent the other party from misbehaving.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just here to deal with the next couplet. The other party saw Xu Ruolan's uneasiness and caution, so he pointed to the lantern in her hand and looked at the other party with a pair of warm eyes.

The maid Huan'er stood in front of the young lady at this time, staring at the man's every move with a suspicious face.

Xu Ruolan looked at the other party's kind eyes, handsome appearance and good clothes, and felt a little at ease, and said politely: "Thank you Gongzi for your help, the lantern matter is just a whim for me, please don't take it seriously." ”

"Oh, on a whim, can you write such an unpredictable couplet?" the other party said with some skepticism.

"I just got it from my father. Xu Ruolan said truthfully embarrassedly.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay. The other party didn't mind and said: "The girl picked up the lights and went out today, but she never wanted to be spoiled by the little scoundrel." It's better to hide in my courtyard first, and wait for the silence outside, if I can get the next link, then please tell the girl in her name, if not, then I will personally send the girl home safely, I don't know how to do it?"

"Cut, can you say it?" Huan'er said with a look of disbelief: "It's not that I underestimate you rich boys, this couplet was stumped by a talented man at the beginning." ”

"Well, then, then this bet counts. The other party took advantage of Xu Ruolan's failure to react, and hurriedly took over the conversation.

Listening to what the other party said, Xu Ruolan suddenly realized that this bet, no matter what, is the other party's benefit. When she was about to refute, for some reason, the other party just smiled slightly, which made it difficult for Xu Ruolan to refuse.

Seeing that Xu Ruolan did not refuse, the man was still a gentleman and smiled, pacing in the courtyard and pondering.

"Miss, do we want to knock him out, and then ......" Seeing that the other party was patronizing and thinking about the next link, Huan'er leaned close to Miss's ear and whispered.

Xu Ruolan shook her head lightly and replied: "I don't think this son looks like a bad person, besides, those people outside are still looking for us, it's better to wait and see." ”

As the two were talking, there was a noise outside the courtyard.

"Hey, this is a dead end, Brother Zhang, aren't you called Scud?

"It's strange that I'm going to lose it? Brother Wang, didn't you also see the beauty running in this direction?"

"It's so dark, and there are so many people, how can I see it clearly, I saw a black shadow flashing towards this side, maybe it's someone else!"

"Then why are we still stunned, look back. ”

After finishing speaking, I heard a person outside shouting: "No one is here, everyone go back to find it." ”

Then, a sound of footsteps faded away, and it was finally quiet outside.

"Hey, did you think of it, if you didn't, we're leaving. Huan'er calculated, this time she sneaked out for too long, and she was worried about being discovered by the head of the house.

After hearing this, the other party nodded, and said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, the two girls just thought of a couplet, which happens to be right, and I also ask the girl to evaluate one or two." After that, he took a deep breath and recited: "Every time you welcome the near and far, you can pass by, and you can still get lucky." ”

After Xu Ruolan heard this, her heart was like a glass of mellow wine, like a fantasy.

"That's right. After a long time, Xu Ruolan exhaled a long breath and exclaimed.

"Then dare to ask Miss's name?" the other party asked politely without any smugness.

"I-my surname is Xu, my name is Ruolan. Dare to ask Childe's name?"

"My surname is Zhang, and my single name is a Qi character. When the man heard the other party ask his name, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"Zhang Qi, okay, I made a note of it. ”

"I wonder when we will see each other again, girl?" the man asked bluntly.

"It's impossible, how can my young lady be seen if you want to?" Huan'er interjected and reprimanded.

"Huan'er, the son of the family just helped us hide here, and I haven't thanked us, how can we be so rude. Xu Ruolan stopped.

"Miss, with our ability, we don't need him to ......" Huan'er seemed to be a little unconvinced.

"Shut up. Xu Ruolan hurriedly stopped.

"Don't hide it from Zhang Gongzi, I am a very human being, if you can enter the gate of the Xu family in Hancheng, there will be a day when you and I will see each other again. With that, Xu Ruolan took Huan'er's hand, jumped over, and turned over and walked out of the courtyard wall.
