Bluestone Lane, lingering rain, small wine shop, beautiful red makeup.

Lu Li didn't expect that it was a woman who invited him to meet.

The woman's pear blossom face, amorous eyes, thin waist and long legs, and her body resembles a beauty bottle. Wearing a long skirt of lake blue soft gauze, a snow-blue sleeveless pipa placket, a silver ratskin cape, and a snow-white fluffy fur collar lined with snow skin, which is more beautiful.

She tries her best to dress plainly, but she still exudes a seductive and charming color, so that people can see her business after a few more glances, and the only thing that can't be seen clearly is her age.

The skin is smooth, but there is no innocence in the eyes, saying that twenty years old is not worthy of her temperament, and saying that forty years old and feeling that the state should not be like this, it can be seen that God loves her a lot.

Lu Li made a gentleman's salute, "In Xia Lu Li, I don't know if the girl invited me to-"

The corners of the woman's lips were slightly raised, and her smile was bright, "At my age, it is really an honor for my son to call a girl." But the son gives face, but I don't know how to know the proportion, my name is Yao Niang, I am the mother of the drunken Red Mansion, the son is tender, just call me Boss Yao. ”

Lu Li is as good as a stream, "Boss Yao." ”

It turned out to be the 'ugly eight monsters' in the mouth of the old bustard in Yicuilou.

Yao Niang's gaze slid past Zhao Shu beside Lu Li, and she led to the left with her bare hands, "Two sons, please take a seat." ”

There was a charcoal stove in the private seat, and the cold air in his body was dispelled, and Lu Li exhaled comfortably.

This is a small winery in the alley, there are no guests on a rainy night, and they are the only ones in the elegant seat separated by the green curtain. The windows are ajar, the lingering drizzle reflects the light, and the four fields are beaten, the breath is fresh, and it makes people feel very good.

A few people sat down, and the little two in Tsing Yi and black hat quickly served the wine and food, the wine was warm, and the dishes were home-cooked side dishes, all of which were full of warmth.

Yao Niang holds the pot and pours wine, her fingers are like green onions, and her movements are beautiful.

"Zhi Gongzi is surprised, I don't sell Guanzi, many girls have been killed in the past two years, and the drunken Red Mansion has suffered the greatest loss, I have been worrying all night, working hard all the time, but there is still no good result. This time, the son will arrest the murderer, to relieve my great worries, my heart to the son of gratitude like gushing water, do it first for respect! Yao Niangsu held the cup in her hand, and as soon as her chin was raised, the wine in the cup was dry, which was quite refreshing.

Lu Li was a little stunned, I don't know if I want to drink this glass of wine, don't drink it, it's not good, drink it...... He's afraid of getting drunk!

Especially when he had just sniffed it, the wine was a little astringent and a little choking, and he instinctively didn't like it.

Just as he was hesitating, his hand was empty, and Zhao Shu snatched his wine glass away, "Lu Li is young and not good at drinking. He leaned up and drank the wine, the meaning was obvious, I took his place.

Lu Li's eyes widened, although he hesitated, he was also very curious about such things as wine, and he wanted to give it a try, knowing that he had never had the opportunity to drink before!

Yao Niang didn't care, and raised her glass again, "I thank Gongzi, it's my mind, I don't want to go if I don't respect a few glasses of wine, Gongzi is not good at drinking, you can replace it with tea, Yao Niang thank Gongzi again!" ”

After three glasses in a row, she exhaled a long breath, "Childe in one fell swoop, I don't know how many girls I saved, they didn't dare to come forward, so I came for them, our identity is not good, and I hope I didn't scare Childe." ”

Lu Li hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "Where, everyone is punished for the villains, and I am just doing what I think is right, and I have not thought of being thanked by others." ”

"You don't need it, but we can't pretend we don't see it." Yao Niang's pink cheeks flew after drinking, the color was better, and she spoke more neatly, "Just say thank you, but there is no suitable thank you gift, we do the skin and meat business, make dirty silver, and buy any gift It feels blasphemous, fortunately, my drunken red mansion business is quite big, no matter where the son goes, it is not easy to solve any troubles in the right way, but even if I am drunken in the red mansion." ”

There was a bright color in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was wisps, "Childe is still young, and some dirty things are hard to say, but Childe just needs to remember that although people like us are lowly, there are many things that others can't do, but we do it." ”

"Boss Yao's righteousness," others have good intentions, but they won't need it in the future, and it's not good not to accept it at the moment, so Lu Li smiled and agreed, "Lu Li has thanked me here." ”

"Whether Childe really agrees, or perfunctory, there is only one chance to leave or right, just remember Childe." Yao Niang explained her intentions in the future, so she began to chat with Lu Li, "I only heard from the people below that Gongzi caught the murderer and sent him to the government prison, and the evidence is conclusive, but I don't know how Gongzi solved the case. ”

There's nothing that can't be said, the rain is getting heavier outside, and the atmosphere of warm wine and food here is harmonious, Lu Li was all relaxed, and chatted with Yao Niang, "That's the case......

Yao Niang initially toasted three glasses of wine, and then occasionally toasted, Lu Li did not drink a glass, Zhao Zhu only drank the first cup on his behalf, and then did not move, at this time, seeing Lu Li and Yao Niang talking very happily, I couldn't help but pick up the wine glass, and drank a cup of Gu by myself.

He asked the secret guards to investigate the drunken red mansion, and the old bustard Yao Niang naturally also investigated, this woman is very shrewd in the city, but it has nothing to do with their interests, and she will not seduce people at will, there is no malice at present, but if she doesn't know the looks-hmph!

Lu Li talked about the murderer's crime process, and Yao Niang listened to the peach eyes and cold, "How ...... is this?"

"Yes, I want to thank this little brother for that......" he pointed to the young man who had been standing behind Yao Niang since he entered the door, "and sent a very important message." ”

"He's ......" Yao Niang smiled, "I don't know where he came from, and I don't say his name and surname, because he loves to wear black clothes, we call him Xiao Hei." He lost a sister in his early years, and after hard work to find my drunken red mansion, my sister's news was broken, but his sister was somewhat involved with my drunken red mansion, and there will be a day when he will be recovered, so he refused to go again, and took root outside my building, waiting for his sister. ”

"This child has a straight heart and an awkward personality, but he has a very good heart. I heard him say that he had collided with Childe before, and I will compensate Childe here, and I hope Childe doesn't mind. When Yao Niang said this, she called Xiao Hei, "Come and toast Lu Gongzi with a glass of wine." ”

Xiao Hei stepped forward, and Lu Li saw people clearly. This person is not very old, his eyebrows are green, although it seems terrible to deliberately vent murderous aura, but he is still just a teenager. The young man's eyebrows and eyes are extremely clear, if he has an older sister, his sister must also be beautiful.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Hei poured Lu Li a glass of wine and drank his own cup of wine by himself, "Thank you." "Very concise and horrified, but very solemn.

Lu Li took a sip from the cup, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Thinking about the places he would go to in the future, he casually asked, "What's your sister's name?" ”

Xiao Hei was stunned.

"Oh, I mean, if there's a chance, I might have a message for you."

Lu Li had a friendly attitude, and Xiao Hei didn't have the heart to defend against others, "Yu Yao." My sister's name is Yu Yao, a native of Junzhou. ”

This kid is still true and sincere, and he is not afraid that he is not a good person. Lu Li sighed and talked to Yao Niang about wine and food again, Xiao Hei silently stepped aside, his figure hidden in the corner, like a stone statue, as if he had never been far away from beginning to end.

Lu Li didn't say anything about the case anymore, as if there was nothing to talk about, but Yao Niang was still a little worried, "I heard that Lord Tuiguan and Mr. Qi Zuo have made you stumble?" ”

"You know?" Lu Li was a little surprised.

"The business in my building is doing well, and I may not know about the small things in the market, but there is nothing I don't know about the big things in Chengdu." Yao Niang's words were big, but her expression was not proud, "It's better for the son to be careful, the one above the government is not a good match." ”

"Boss Yao is very familiar?" Lu Li was even more surprised.

"This Chengdu Mansion, from the root to the top, has long been rotten, corruption is rampant, officials protect each other, if you go with them, it's fine, if you do the opposite, they will join forces to suppress, if you resist, you must see blood." The corners of Yao Niang's cherry lips were slightly raised, as if there was mockery and worry.

During the banquet, Zhao Shu didn't say a word, but his aura was always full, when Yao Niang reminded Lu Li that there might be a bloody disaster, his face sank like water, his slender eyes were deep and dull, and he held Lu Li's hand under the table, which was very tight.

Lu Li knew that he was worried, patted his hand as comfort, and looked at Yao Niang with a smile, "Thank you for reminding me, I will deal with it carefully." ”

"It's good if you're measured." Xu noticed the movements under the table, Yao Niang's peach eyes flashed slightly, her eyes turned to the window, and there was a hint of nostalgia in her voice, "Chengdu Mansion has not always been like this, more than ten years ago, it was full of vitality and blood......

"Oh?" Lu Li is a little curious, the history books are recorded, more than ten years ago Daxia and neighboring countries experienced a bitter war, the whole country is poor and turbulent, why Chengdu is very peaceful" What is Chengdu like for more than ten years? ”

"At that time, the Great Liao of Western Xia invaded the territory, and the king of Lao Ping took the lead in the battlefield to fight, and all the troops of the whole country were transferred to the north. The Shu Road was difficult, their initial target was Xingyuan Mansion, and there were troops stationed on the Lizhou Road, but they failed to do so, so they turned to attack Shu. At that time, the government of Shu was vacant, and the secretary in charge was a young literati, with no soldiers in his hands, or a friend who was looking for him to play at that time, and attacked the enemy camp at night, burned the enemy's grain and grass, lured the enemy to divide and annihilate it in the deep mountains, and finally defeated the enemy army in Furong City......

Yao Niang's eyes were slightly closed, covering the love in her eyes, "Red crisp hands, recruiting drums, longbows and arrows, and directly take the enemy's head...... That night, the firelight burned the city wall like a white sun, and at the moment of victory, everyone was in a good mood, but they couldn't help but cry like rain. The hot-blooded Chengdu Mansion has only been around for more than ten years, and it has become like a pool of stagnant water, filthy everywhere......"

Lu Li heard a good story from Yao Niang's mouth, and as she told it, a picture seemed to flash in front of her, if this was the case, the comparison between before and after was really heart-wrenching. But wait—did he just hear a name?

Red crispy hands! Fucking nicknames! But this red crisp hand, and his mother Miao Hongxiao are alone?

Lu Li pressed his heart and was excited, "May I ask Boss Yao, this red crisp hand, but a person?" ”

"You've heard of it too?" Yao Niang's eyes were gratified, "It seems that history will never forget it." ”

Lu Li's voice was a little astringent, "Her surname is Miao?" ”

"Yes, her name is Miao Hongxiao, my generation of women is not worthy of mentioning her name at all, her character, her skills, can be admired by men all over the world!" Yao Niang's voice was a little excited.

She ...... What have they done? ”

Yao Niang sighed, "She is the bright moon in the sky, how can a person like me get close?" If it weren't for that fight, I wouldn't have had a chance to meet her. ”

That means, that's all she knows, that's probably all she knows.

Lu Li didn't give up, "Have you heard any rumors?" ”

"That's a lot, Mrs. Miao has a beautiful complexion, a smile is unforgettable, some people say that she is from the rivers and lakes, and her teacher is supreme heaven, some people say that she is a princess, and she has a noble and dusty appearance, but if you want me to say, she has a very good husband."

"Husband?"

Yao Niang nodded, "Her husband dotes on her very much, no matter what she does, she will never be restrained, but when she gets closer to the man next to her, she will be jealous." Her husband was a friend of the secretary at that time, with a handsome appearance, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. ”

Lu Li asked again, the rumors that Yao Niang said were even more exaggerated, and Rousseau knew that she didn't know more, "What is the name of the secretary, and what happened to him?" ”

"His name is Bai Mingtao, and of course he was promoted and transferred away, and now-" Yao Niang thought carefully, "It seems that he has become the Yin of Xingyuan Mansion or the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion." I don't know more. ”

Enough is enough.

Lu Li clenched his fists, he didn't know that his father and mother were so good that they had done such a great thing in Chengdu Mansion.

Has the land under his feet been defended by his father and mother to the death......

After that, Lu Li didn't have the mood to chat and enjoy the scenery, Yao Niang had been running the Qinglou for many years, and she knew the most and quickly left.

After watching the drizzle outside for a while, Lu Li turned his head to look at Zhao Shu with a depressed expression, "Miao Hong smiled...... It's my mother. ”

Zhao Shu held his hand, "I know." ”

"Her death is unknown...... I don't even know where her bones are. ”

The thick sadness could almost overflow from the clear eyes, and Zhao Shu sank with his breath. He hugged Lu Li in his arms and patted him stiffly and awkwardly on the back, "I'll help you find it." ”

Lu Li was quiet for a while and pushed him away, "I must find my father!" After speaking, he felt that his momentum was not enough, so he picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.

The wine entered his throat, like a line of fire, burning his heart and lungs hurt, and his mouth full of bitterness made Lu Li can't help coughing out.

Xu is frustration is too much today, Xu is hearing about his father's past, Xu is this wine is too strong and coughing too much, Lu Li's eyes are moist and water vapor condensed, and the corners of his eyes are red.

He raised his hand and wiped his eyes fiercely, and said firmly, "This wine doesn't taste good!" ”

"Yes, this wine is not good, I will find you a good wine another day." Zhao Shu pulled the person into his arms, "Let's go?" ”

Outside the window, the rain gradually stopped, and the night was late.

Lu Li stood up, "Let's go." ”

Zhao Shu didn't say anything big, and three days later, he knocked on the door and entered Lu Li's room with a delicious wine and a surprise.

At that time, the moonlight was just right, the young man was smiling, and he was in a good mood, which was a good time to be honest about his identity. Tricks
