XXXI. The Place of the Heart (I)

After all, she had already agreed to Zhou Miao, and after Zhou Miao's advice, Ji Haiyun's eyes had hardly taken her off her all day, so although Zhang Longqian felt that staying in the hospital was really boring, she still resisted the urge to try "prison escape" again.

Boredom, I thought of Liao Lei and Nangong Piao, two people in a similar situation, and Zhang Longqian, who couldn't find something to pass the time, simply dragged Ji Haiyun to gossip.

"Haiyun, do you know the marriage contracts of other families?"

Don't think about it, you know that Zhang Longqian is bored, Ji Haiyun closed the book she had been reading for the past two days, and said with her topic: "The marriage contract of the big family is also a big event, and it is all announced to the public, so I basically know it, and the little family is not very clear, maybe a few people who have dealt with it will know some of it." ”

Nodding, thinking that since the Liao family in Henan can be called a family of "descendants of Fuxi", it should not be regarded as a "small family", Zhang Longqian asked tentatively: "That...... Haiyun: Do you know about Liao Lei? ”

"Poison boy? Do you want to ask him about himself, or about his marriage? ”

Facing Ji Haiyun's smiling gaze, Zhang Longqian smiled: "If you know everything, just say a little...... I'm ...... anyway."

I'm bored anyway.

Zhang Longqian stopped his mouth in time and didn't say it, but Ji Haiyun also understood, so he thought about it with a smile and briefly introduced it.

Regarding the origin of Liao Lei's name and why he was called "Poison Boy", except that he did not carry personal subjective consciousness in the narrative, and would not add derogatory adjectives such as "insidious", "perverse" and "extremely deep city", what Ji Haiyun said was not very different from what Zhou Miao said before, but after that, he mentioned a title that Zhang Longqian was not very familiar with.

Gamblers.

Although Zhang Longqian doesn't know very well, it is also Liao Lei's nickname, and the name "Gambling Son" is not weaker than "Poison Boy" in the Taoist world.

Speaking of Liao Lei, his own talent lies in the study of Gu poison, and his interest is precisely here, he almost doesn't care about anything else, but no one can say why, but he has become a close friend with Qiu Kui, the third young master of the Feicheng Qiu clan, who has a personality that is exactly the opposite of him-or "bad friend" is more appropriate.

Unlike Liao Lei, who likes to nest up and concentrate on research, Qiu Kui is a person who likes to be lively very much, and I don't know how he did it, Liao Lei, a person who has not left home for more than ten years, was actually pulled out by him, which surprised many people who saw the two of them appear together.

It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Liao Lei, such a good research-oriented genius, has a great interest because of Qiu Kui.

Good bet.

God knows what kind of experience Qiu Kui gave Liao Lei, anyway, when Liao Lei is willing to go out occasionally, he likes to bet with others very much, no matter how big or small the matter is, it will definitely be related to "gambling". Although his name of "Poison Boy" makes many people fearful, but he is very popular in the matter of "gambling", because his gambling products are really surprisingly good, and he will never regret it under the pretext of losing, let alone bully others, so although many people will be afraid of him, they are still willing to bet with him, and over time, in addition to the title of "Poison Son", Liao Lei has another name of "Gambler".

Nine times out of ten, the Liao family's Gu in Zhou Miao's hand was obtained in this way.

In addition to good betting, Liao Lei really has nothing to talk about, the only thing worth mentioning is another topic that Zhang Longqian is interested in - his marriage contract.

Different from the mortal world, all Taoist families with a bit of history still maintain some ancient traditions, such as women must make a marriage contract at the age of fifteen and at the age of twenty at the latest, and a long-standing family like the Liao family in Henan Province is known as the "descendants of Fuxi".

However, Liao Lei, who just turned 20 this year, did not make any marriage contract.

It is said that it is because of Liao Lei's strong opposition, and the Liao family has no choice but to take him as a genius, and considering that he is not the young master of the Liao family, it doesn't matter if he indulges a little, so he can only be left to him.

After listening to Ji Haiyun's gossip that guaranteed absolute accuracy, Zhang Longqian muttered softly.

"'I strongly oppose it'...... ......"

After a deep sigh, she smiled thoughtfully.

Ji Haiyun, who didn't see Liao Lei running over, didn't understand what Zhang Longqian was laughing at, so he asked casually. Although Zhang Longqian had already confirmed in her heart, this matter involved Zhou Miao after all, so she couldn't speak, so she could only play haha and not give a positive answer, and at the same time casually diverted the topic.

"Then again, I remember Haiyun you eighteen right, right?"

"Yes, what?"

Zhang Longqian bent his eyes and smiled a little shyly: "The Ji family is the only affiliated family of the Zhang family, how can it be a family with a long history, seeing that you are not long away from the year of the weak crown, you ...... Have you made a marriage contract with anyone? ”

Seeing Zhang Longqian's gossipy appearance, Ji Haiyun couldn't help but smile and knocked her on the head with the thin book: "Miss, please smile a little more reservedly, okay?" ”

Zhang Longqian didn't care about this at all, just smiled happily: "Hehe, what else is there to be reserved about gossip at present?" Hey, don't digress! I'm curious! Is there any? ”

Looking at the excitement in Zhang Longqian's eyes, Ji Haiyun's eyes darkened slightly, and he shook his head with the smile on his face.

"Nope."

didn't notice the slight change in Ji Haiyun's eyes at that moment, Zhang Longqian just didn't believe it: "You didn't deceive me, right?" ”

"What am I going to do with you?"

Seeing that Ji Haiyun really didn't look like a fake, Zhang Longqian was slightly disappointed, looking very boring with no gossip to hear, and then his eyes rolled but he smiled slyly.

"Haiyun, you shouldn't be like Liao Lei, so you rejected the marriage contract arranged by the family because you have someone in your heart, right?"

"Like Liao Lei?"

The puzzled retelling made Zhang Longqian suddenly realize that she had said the wrong thing, she immediately looked away and pretended not to know anything, seeing her like that, Ji Haiyun didn't delve into it, just shook her head a little funny, and said: "It's not like this, there won't be anything so romantic as 'someone in my heart' that happened to me." ”

It was obviously a simple word, but Ji Haiyun said it with a very indifferent and certain meaning.

Feeling a little incomprehensible, Zhang Longqian blinked, turned his eyes back to look at Ji Haiyun, and asked incomprehensibly, "What do you mean?" ”

Looking at Zhang Longqian's puzzled face, Ji Haiyun's gaze wavered for a moment, and then he bent his eyes, showed a hearty smile, and spoke bluntly.

"Because, I don't have a 'heart' at all!"
