At this time, in the octagonal pavilion by the lake, Su Li was rarely free, he originally brought Bai Ge'er to the backyard to practice martial arts, the men of the Su family have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and even if they don't go into battle to kill the enemy when they grow up in the future, they can also strengthen their bodies. It's just that the heavens are not beautiful, Su Li just finished a set of punches, and it rained lightly in the sky, he was worried that he would dampen Bai Ge'er's body, so he had to let Cui Mama take Bai Ge'er back to Molin Courtyard first.

Su Li didn't go back, so he asked the maid to bring a jar of snow plum blossom stuffing, and drank it in the drizzle.

This kind of wine was blended by Su Li's deceased wife Luo, and the wine was not very strong, with a sweet taste, which was suitable for the girl's family to drink.

Luo is a gentle and demure woman, usually idle like to make flowers and grass, this wine is made by her by chance one day, at that time Luo was in a good mood, invited Su Li to sit under the plum blossoms together, while enjoying the scenery and watching the snow, while drinking plum blossom wine.

Since Roche went, Su Li had never drunk such a mellow and sweet plum blossom brew, he tried many methods, but he couldn't brew the taste that Roche gave him to drink that day, even the jar in front of him, compared with Roche's, it can only be described as "bland".

Su Li poured himself another glass of plum blossom brew, pinched the moon-white glazed wine glass, and lowered his eyes into contemplation.

A voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Oh, this rain will rain no matter what." ”

Su Li lifted his eyes and saw Li Xiangru with two hands folded on his head, wearing a lilac Baoxiang pattern skirt, combing his hair and hair in a small bun, his clothes and hair were wet from the rain, and he hurried to the octagonal pavilion to take shelter from the rain. Then, as if she had just discovered Su Li, she opened her eyes in surprise, put down her hands and said, "Uncle, are you also sheltering from the rain here?" After saying that, he remembered to salute and was busy owing.

Su Li nodded lightly, and his voice didn't fluctuate much: "Miss Li." ”

Li Xiangru stood in place, and when he saw that Su Li had said this, he stopped talking, bit his lip, and stepped forward and said, "Why is Uncle sitting here drinking alone?" But what's not happy in your heart? As he spoke, he looked at the wine on the table.

Su Li missed his deceased wife's affection, and his tone was not very good, so he said plainly: "It's just quiet." ”

This is a pun, which not only answers Li Xiangru's question, but also implies that Li Xiangru disturbs his tranquility.

Li Xiangru pursed her lips and smiled, pretending not to understand Su Li's hints, and said, "It's really quiet here, and few people will pass by here on rainy days." At this time, the sound of rain fell more urgently, and the raindrops hit the lotus leaves on the lake, "dong dong" sounded, Li Xiangru said: "I love to listen to the sound of the rain hitting the lotus leaves, soothing and not dull, I wonder if the uncle is the same as me?" This sound can make people calm, no matter how boring they are in their hearts, they will feel comfortable when they listen to the sound of rain hitting lotus leaves. ”

Su Li didn't answer, and asked lightly, "Why did Miss Li pass by here?" ”

Li Xiang didn't expect him to ask so directly, what is the difference between this and chasing people out of the blue? However, since Li Xiangru came, he came prepared, smiled and continued: "I saw that the begonia flowers around here are blooming well, so I wanted to come and see it, but it rained before I got to the front, so I had to come here to hide from the rain." ”

Su Li put down the teacup and stood up, and said, "Since Miss Li came to hide from the rain, I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate, so this pavilion will be given to the girl." Leave. ”

Li Xiangru hurriedly stopped him, "Obviously, I disturbed my uncle's purity, how could I let you go?" If you want to go, it should be me to go, I see that the rain is about to stop, and the begonia flowers are blooming well over there, so I'll go there and have a look. ”

But not only did the rain not stop, but there was a tendency to fall bigger and bigger, and Li Xiangru's ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense was also very strong. She turned around and glanced at Su Li, took out a handkerchief to cover her head, and ran out of the pavilion, along the bluestone path by the lake, and ran out of a distance in a short time.

After running for a while, Li Xiangru estimated that it was almost there, this place was neither far nor close, Su Li would definitely jump down to save her when he saw her fall into the water.

Li Xiang made up his mind, his feet were broken, his body twisted slightly, and he fell into the lake.

*

Li Xiangru actually doesn't know how to water, she put all her bets on Su Li, and she is sure that Su Li will not die without help.

"Save ...... Help ......"

After a long time, Li Xiangru drank a stomach of water, and his vision gradually became unclear. She seemed to see a little girl in a Biluo skirt walking towards her, closed her eyes again, and finally saw Su Li jumping off the shore. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then closed her eyes and fell into a complete coma.

When Li Xiangru woke up, she found herself lying in the guest room of Su Mansion, she had lived here for several days, and she was already quite familiar. Liao was not in front of him, there was only a little girl in a green skirt in the room who was busy, and when she saw that she was awake, she hurriedly came over and asked, "Miss Li, you are awake, is there anything uncomfortable?" The slave will pour you a glass of water. ”

Li Xiangru guessed that this girl should be arranged by Su Fu to take care of herself, so she didn't refuse, and after the girl brought water, she took a few sips. Thinking of the scene before she fell into a coma, Su Li jumped off the shore without hesitation, her handsome and upright figure made her fascinated, and then Su Li rescued her ashore, although she was unconscious, but she knew that it was him, deliberately clinging to his body, shrinking into his strong arms, saying that he was "cold".

Li Xiangru can't remember the next thing, but she is as close to Su Li, and her innocence has been ruined by him, who else can she marry besides him?

Thinking of this, Li Xiangru couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Li Xiangru was rescued in time, but he only suffered a little bit of wind and cold, and he would be fine for a few days. She lay on the bed for a while, and after her body had recovered her strength, she put on her clothes and prepared to go to the Merlin Courtyard to ask Su Li for an explanation. It's strange that she fell into the water, the second lady and her mother didn't know where to go, and no one came to see her, but Li Xiangru was only thinking about how to let Su Li marry her at this time, and the others didn't have time to think about it.

When I arrived at Molin Courtyard, the mother-in-law who guarded the door said that the uncle went to the flower open-air incense, and the flower open-air incense was the residence of the nine girls, how could Su Li go there?

Li Xiangru was puzzled, but he still went to the flowers to incense.

When she arrived at the door, the maid went in to pass the word, and came back after a short time and said, "Nine girls, please go in." ”

Li Xiangru followed the big girl Tingli into Su Xi's boudoir, as soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the furnishings in the house, the whole piece of rosewood furniture, the jade bead curtains, every piece of furniture in the house looks valuable, it is the "Apricot Blossom Spring Picture" hanging on the wall, Li Xiangru looked at the carved seal below, it turned out to be the work of Zou Yirong, a master of calligraphy and painting in the previous dynasty.

Li Xiangru doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting, and the reason why he knows Zou Yirong is entirely because he is too famous.

When I arrived in the inner room, I saw Su Xi sitting on the beauty couch wrapped in a purple blanket, she was already white, and her eyes were almost transparent, her black and clear eyes were wide open, and she was drinking the ginger soup fed by the Yin family one by one, and when she saw Li Xiangru coming in, she called "Sister Li" with a smile.

Li Xiangru didn't know that the Yin family was also there, so he hurriedly saluted the Yin family, "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

After feeding Su Xi and drinking the soup, Yin wiped the corners of Su Xi's mouth with a handkerchief, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were faintly gone, and she said straight to the point: "Didn't Miss Li also fall into the water, she didn't rest in the house at this time, what are you doing here Sister Xi?" ”

Li Xiangru glanced at Su Li, who was standing by the window, and lowered his head with a red face: "I'm here to thank my uncle for saving his life." ”

Yin's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? ”

Li Xiangru said shyly: "Uncle saved the little girl's life, the little girl is grateful, and she can't repay it." If the uncle does not dislike it, I am willing to repay the uncle's kindness with my body. ”

Su Li withdrew his gaze towards the courtyard and looked at her lightly.

Su Xi sat on the side and asked Tingyan to wipe her hair, her little round face was white, and her appearance was much calmer.

Yin Shi sighed lightly, his expression finally changed a little, and he asked coldly, "Has Miss Li forgotten her identity?" Brother Li is the eldest grandson of the Su family, and you will inherit the family business in the future, I am afraid that your identity is not worthy of Brother Li'er. ”

Li Xiang expected that the Yin family would stop him, so he knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "I know that my status is low, and I am not worthy of the uncle...... But the uncle will be rescued from my water, my innocence is gone, and no one will want me in the future, if I can't serve the uncle, I can only die to prove my innocence. ”

The big family pays the most attention to reputation, if Li Xiang is really dead now, it will not only ruin the reputation of the Su family, but if it is spread to the ears of today, Old Lady Su's official career will also be affected.

This Li Xiangru is not stupid, he knows that he threatens the Yin family with this.

Sure enough, Yin's face changed, and he asked for a long time: "So, you want to repay the person who saved you?" ”

Li Xiangru nodded tearfully.

Yin glanced away and regained his composure, "How did Miss Li know that it was Brother Li who saved you?" ”

Li Xiangru thought that Yin's mouth was relieved, but after hearing this, his heart sank suddenly, and he said, "I saw ......."

Yin didn't even want to look at her more, "Miss Li is bent on making a continuation for Brother Li'er, and she has designed such a good show." It's a pity, the person who saved you was not Brother Li'er, but the family of Su Mansion, since you said that you were innocent, then I will make my own decision and promise you to your life-saving benefactor. ”

Without looking at Li Xiangru's stunned face, he ordered Dan Wu to take the family outside.

After a while, Dan Wu said that the people had arrived.

Li Xiangru followed Yin out of the house, and saw a young man wearing ochre short brown standing outside the door, with big shoulders and a round waist, a Chinese face, and a very ordinary appearance. When the young man saw Yin, he said, "Madam." ”

Yin Shi responded, turned back to Li Xiangru and said: "His name is Chang Ping, he is the subordinate in charge of the miscellaneous work in the front yard, he rescued you from the water, Miss Li take a closer look, don't mistake your savior." ”

Li Xiangru took two steps back, shook his head incredulously, and muttered, "No, it's not...... I know ...... I obviously saw that it was the uncle who jumped into the water. She seemed to have figured it out in an instant, and turned her head to look at Yin, "Madam doesn't want my uncle to be responsible for me, so I found this person to lie to me?" Isn't it? ”

Yin sneered: "Why did I lie to you? There were a lot of maids and women present, so if you don't believe them, just ask them. ”

The little girl who brought Chang Ping over said: "I saw it, madam, Miss Li was hugging Brother Chang tightly at that time, and she kept saying that it was cold!" ”

Li Xiangru's face turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost, "How is it possible...... This ......"

She obviously saw Su Li jump into the water.

Why wasn't Su Li who saved her?

At this time, a maid in a green skirt led an old man from the corridor and said to Yin, "Madam, Doctor Hao is here." ”

Yin said: "Hurry up and ask the doctor to go in and take a look for Sister Xi." After speaking, seeing that Li Xiangru was still in place, he said with a cold face: "What is Miss Li still standing here?" I'll tell the old lady about you and Chang Ping, so go back. ”

Yin said goodbye and ordered Danwu to send off the guests.

In the house, after the doctor showed Su Xi, he only said that there was no big problem, but he was a little cold, so he prescribed a prescription for Xinwen and asked Su Xi to eat it for two days in a row.

Su Xi took the white jade pendant in her hand, raised a smile, and said crisply: "Thank you, doctor." ”

Tingyan paid the consultation fee and sent the doctor away.

Su Xi remembered the scene when he rushed to the Octagonal Pavilion, Li Xiangru moved fast and had already fallen into the water. Su Xi was in a hurry, the jade pendant on her waist fell into the water, the jade pendant was given by Su Li when she was 100 days old, she wore it for ten years, she was so anxious that she shed tears, Su Li jumped into the water without saying a word to find the jade pendant for her.

It was raining lightly at that time, and Su Xi was drenched in the rain, and when he came back, he contracted a wind chill.

As for Li Xiangru...... On the way there, Su Xi asked Tingyan to go to the front yard to find someone, and Chang Ping was found by Tingyan.
