Pinching his fingers, it has been nearly a year since the West Lake was parted, although Zhao Dangshi knew that he and Liu Ru would have the opportunity to meet again in the future, but he never thought that he would be at this moment. According to his original plan, he wanted to introduce Liu Ru is to Qian Qianyi, who is famous in the world, and make up a marriage. But Liu Ru is now willing to seek the near and far, and rushed all the way to Xiangyang Mansion, and Zhao Dangshi's hard work has come to naught.

That night, Zhao Dangshi was upset, his thoughts fluctuated, he couldn't sleep over and over, and finally survived until dawn, and Lian Zhi tiptoed to fetch warm water for him to wash, but saw that he had already tidied up his clothes. Zhao Dangshi rinsed his mouth and wiped his face, and said to Lian Zhi: "I'll go and go back, if Lao Zhou and they come to look for me in the middle, you let them go to the hall for breakfast first." With that, he went straight to Liu Ru's room.

At that time, the sky was not yet bright, and Zhao Dangshi saw that there was a candle in the room, and Liu Ru had already risen, so he knocked on the door and said: "Miss Liu can wash up, Zhao has something to say." ”

There was silence in the room for a long time, followed by a burst of squirming, Zhao Dangshi buckled the door knocker again, and then heard the inside: "Zhao Lang wait." ”

Zhao Dangshi knew that women needed to dress up when they saw people, not to mention that Liu Ru was such an oiran, and he didn't urge him, so he stood patiently outside the door and stood quietly. Not long after, the door opened, and the person standing in front of him was still the "head-wrapper" from before.

"Miss Liu, why are you doing this?" Zhao Dangshi stepped into the door and looked at Liu Ru's airtight dress, crying and laughing. I thought she was applying yellow to the mirror, but who thought she was wrapping her head.

Liu Ru closed the door again and said, "Zhao Lang knows me, but others may not know." Outside, being a head-wrapper is much more comfortable and happy than Liu Ru. When she spoke, she was no longer as coarse as before, and the soft Wu Di accent did not match the rough head wrap at all.

Zhao Dangshi said: "I am an old acquaintance with the girl, but the girl shows her true face, with Zhao here, no one dares to provoke the girl." ”

"Nobody?" Liu Ru laughed.

Zhao Dangshi patted his chest and said: "Between Chu and Yu, how can there be anything that I Zhao can't do and can't suppress?" ”

Liu Ru nodded deliberately and said: "That's good, the little girl is uncomfortable, just to make trouble for someone named Zhao Dangshi, can it be settled?" Unlike everyone's ladies, Liu Ru has not received formal etiquette education since she was a child, and most of the people she has befriended are bohemian and talented fanatics, and she will not follow the rules. She is also quick to think and quick to speak, so she speaks freely and without hindrance.

Zhao Dangshi is not a conservative person, but smiled and said: "If it is this person, Zhao is willing to bow down." ”

Liu said: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and Zhao Zongbing is really Junjie." ”

Zhao Dangshi sighed: "If it weren't for the unintentional bump into me last night, I really didn't know that the girl was far away." ...... in Xiangyang that day"

Liu Ru immediately said: "I was bored at home, came out to relax, in the past, I didn't walk around the world, I remembered that there are a few famous temples in Henan that have old people, so I traveled over, that day just happened to pass through Xiangyang, and happened to meet Zhao Lang." ”

Zhao was skeptical, and he was still thinking about Qian Qianyi, so he asked: "When Zhao passed through Changshu at the beginning of the year, he visited Qian Muzhai and Qian Gong, and he was very interested in the girl's poems. He deliberately mentioned Qian Qianyi, the purpose was to throw bricks and lead jade, and test Liu Ru's opinion of Qian Qianyi.

"Gong Qian......" Liu Ru hesitated for a moment, but said, "Gong Qian came to Hangzhou to visit Mr. Caoyi before, and traveled to the West Lake with Mr. and the little girl, and invited the little girl to be a guest in Yushan Banye Hall...... However, the little girl didn't go after all. ”

Zhao Dangshi asked, "Why?" ”

Liu Ru replied: "Yushan is close at hand, you can see it at any time, but this Huguang and Henan are turbulent, and some people have some scenes, if they don't come to see them earlier, I'm afraid they will regret it for life." After speaking, he sighed lightly.

Zhao Dangshi said in his heart: "If this is the case, won't my plan to match money and willow be in vain?" Then he thought about it, "Throughout the ages, resourcefulness is like Zhuge Kongming, and it is difficult to do it as a last resort, and the twisted melon is not sweet, since Liu Ru is broken with Qian Qianyi, I will find a way to make up for it in the future." In this way, the mood that had been impetuous all night slowly calmed down. turned to say, "I thought there was a man in the room, but now it's Miss Liu, but Zhao doesn't want the girl to go to Shaolin." ”

"Zhao Lang won't let me go to Shaolin?"

"Shaolin is in danger, how can Zhao see the girl in danger alone? The girl is sensible, listen to Zhao's words, don't go out of the city in Dengfeng these days, wait for Zhao to deal with the Shaolin Temple affairs, turn around and send someone to escort the girl back to Jiangnan. ”

Liu Ru said with a slight annoyance: "With you, what am I afraid of?" In one sentence, Zhao Dangshi was immediately speechless, "The little girl next to you still dares to go to Shaolin, although the little girl doesn't know martial arts, but she has the courage to admit that she will not lose her eyebrows, and it is imperative to go to Shaolin." ”

Zhao Dangshi shook his head helplessly and said: "The girl is determined, but Zhao is just responsible for protection." "Anyway, even Zhi has to be protected, and it doesn't matter if there is one more willow. Speaking of which, when I heard the noise in the hall downstairs, I thought that Zhou Wenhe and his gang of old men had already used breakfast, and said: "Breakfast has been prepared, if Miss Liu is inconvenient to go down, I will let Xiao Er send it up." "Turn around and leave.

"Zhao Lang!" After only two steps, Liu Ru suddenly stopped him.

"Miss Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Ru stood in place, hesitated, and said, "Do you want me to go down or stay above." ”

Zhao Dangshi was stunned, and he didn't know how to send the gods, and replied: "Stay up." ”

"Good!" Liu Ru responded, and there was a bit of joy in his voice, "If you want me to stay above, you have to accompany me." Add a sentence, "When people meet each other, there are always a few words to say no?" ”

"I want you to stay up there?" Zhao Dangshi had no choice but to argue more, so he said, "That girl waits, Zhao will go down and get breakfast." ”

Lian Zhi has been standing at the staircase on the second floor waiting for Zhao Dangshi, and when she saw Zhao Dangshi coming out of the door, she ran over happily and said: "Daddy, there are many kinds of breakfast in the hall, but you have to have a good meal, Lian Zhi has already put a bowl of porridge for Daddy to cool there." ”

Zhao Dangshi nodded and said approvingly: "In the end, it is Ah Zhi's agreement." As he spoke, he kicked downstairs, and when Zhou Wenhe and the other soldiers of the Parenting Division who were eating Haisai saw this, they all quickly put down the porridge noodles in their hands and saluted solemnly. Among them, some people even rushed to knock over a bowl of noodles and pounced on their faces, and the noodle leaves hung on their noses and ears, but they didn't dare to touch them, which was indescribably embarrassing.

Zhao Dangshi ordered: "After breakfast, first gather the brothers in the city to gather at the gate of the Yuelou, and then go to Shaomu Mountain together." Those who do not arrive at the end of the day will be severely punished! Then he said, "Old Zhou, you can keep an eye on this matter." ”

Lian Zhi obediently brought the bowl of warm porridge at this time and said, "Daddy, please use it." ”

Zhao Dangshi took the bowl and said to her, "Ah Zhi, you pack up some pastries and bring them upstairs with me." ”

Zhou Wenhe said: "But for the head-wrapping guest upstairs? What is the origin of this guy, what a big row! The lord put it away, and he didn't work for Sister Azhi, just let me send it to Lao Zhou. ”

Zhao Dangshi shook his head and said, "It's okay, there is still something to say when it comes to the top." ”

Zhou Wenhe nodded and said, "Obey the lord's order." But secretly like the rest of the soldiers of the pro-support division, he was amazed.

Back in front of Liu Rushi's room, Zhao Dangshi brought a square plate with pastry porridge noodles and said to Lian Zhi: "You go to the room to pack your luggage and wait for me to come." ”

Lian Zhi was obedient and agreed to retreat. Zhao Dangshi immediately entered the room, and then put the square dish on the table, the green shadow flashed in the afterglow, and he heard a sound, and when he turned his eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In front of him, the "head wrapper" in the linen coarse coat has been changed to Liu Rushi with long hair and shawl at some point - the parrot green silk jacket is extremely lined with the waist, and a pair of cuckoo satin shoes are more like the finishing touch, with a thin belt with a reddish color, showing the style of "the first class of Sanwu".

"Zhao Lang." Liu Ru smiled faintly, and said a blessing to Zhao Dangshi seriously, and his gestures and demeanors were myriad, which made Zhao Dangshi seem to have returned to the West Lake that day.

"Miss Liu's sudden change of costume is really a bit unexpected." Zhao Dangshi stepped back as a gesture of politeness.

"How could it be unexpected, didn't Zhao Lang let the slave family change."

Zhao Dangshi was at a loss and didn't know why, Liu Ru explained with a smile: "Zhao Lang let the slave family go down, and that is the head-wrapper." And let the slave family upstairs, it is Liu Rus. ”

After this reminder, Zhao Dangshi only understood a little, and said secretly: "Sins and sins, unintentionally inserted willows and willows." Carefully looked at Liu Rus, but felt that although she was small and born with a goose egg face, she showed a little heroism, not blindly charming and bewitching, but said: "Miss Liu, when you set off later, do you want to change back into the costume of 'head-wrapper'?" ”

Liu Ru looked at his eyes with a light smile and said, "Don't change it, start from the beginning." ”

Zhao Dangshi said again: "I have a long skirt, I'm afraid it's not good to ride a horse." ”

"Don't worry about Zhao Lang, there are still pants under the skirt, and you can ride a horse." Liu Ru replied, not forgetting to laugh, "If Zhao Lang doesn't believe it, you can come to check it." ”

The woman in Fireworks Willow Lane, she is used to saying the words of the waves, but fortunately, Zhao Dangshi is also a heroic figure, uninhibited, and said with a smile: "As soon as Miss Liu's golden mouth opened, Zhao had no doubts." ”

Liu said that he had something to say, but the two had breakfast in the room, and there was nothing else to say during the whole process. Zhao Dangshi ate quickly, and he was full in a short time, Liu Ru saw it, and with the end of the bowl and chopsticks, he said, "I'm also fine." ”

Zhao Dangshi said: "Miss Liu has cleaned up, and she will go downstairs." Zhao went to the hall to gather the crowd first. ”

Liu Ru stood up with him and said, "Zhao Lang is not in a hurry, the slave family has a small mustache, and you can leave with the package." But he didn't want to leave Zhao Dangshi half a step.

Waiting for Liu Ru to comb a simple bun in the room, the two went out of the room and went downstairs along the stairs, and Lian Zhi, who was waiting, was stunned at first, and then Zhou Wenhe and others in the hall were shocked when they saw Liu Ru who was floating over.

"Lord, where did this private man come from?" There are a lot of secret prostitutes in Dengfeng City, Zhou Wenhe saw that Liu Ru's chest was slightly exposed, and the clouds were half-haired, as if there was a color of wind and dust, and he also said that Zhao Dangshi's blood and qi were strong, and he couldn't hold it, and thought: "Yes, although Sister A Zhi is beautiful, her body is thin and weak, not as beautiful as this female shepherd, the main male tiger and wolf are old, and the natural food is tasteless." ”

Zhao Dangshi said to him secretly: "This is the head-wrapping guest in front of the head." I am an old acquaintance, and you must not be rude. ”

"Old acquaintance...... Zhou Wenhe has served Zhao Dang for the longest time, how can he not understand it, and think: "The lord is suave and dignified, showing mercy everywhere, this woman is outstanding, since she is an old acquaintance, she may not have no place by the lord's side in the future, but you can't slack off for half a point." Therefore, he stepped forward quickly, bowed to Liu Ru and said: "Zhou Wenhe is not effective, he was offended a few days ago, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”

Liu Ru said lightly: "No need, I don't care." ”

Zhou Wenhe saw her arrogant demeanor, and was even more convinced that her status in Zhao Dangshi's heart was not trivial, and then he thought: "First there is the county lord, then there is Sister Azhi, and now this girl is here again, the lord is good, but one after another, I have to wait for this class of companions to be comfortable." He comforted himself, "One counts as one, and I think I have more than 200 brothers in the Parenting Division, and I'm afraid it's not thorough enough?" No matter how prosperous the Lord's affairs are, it will be difficult to bring 200 housewives! ”

Wherever Zhao Dangshi went, Liu Ru was within half a step of him, even closer than Lian Zhi, and the soldiers of the Parenting Division saw that the head-wrapping guest not long ago had turned into a graceful beauty, and they were shocked and introspective, and warned themselves to serve the lord's side, and they needed to be more careful in dealing with people and things in the future.

When the time was approaching, the soldiers of the family care division scattered in the inns in Dengfeng City came to the meeting one after another, Zhou Wenhe repeatedly clicked a few times, there was no omission, and Zhao Dangshi got on the horse and set off. Liu Ruis and Lian Zhi were closely separated from him, as if they were Zhao Dangshi's personal guards.

More than ten miles northwest from Dengfeng County, that is, to the foot of the Shao Room of Songshan Mountain, under the peak of the five breasts. Shaolin Temple since the Sui and Tang dynasties has been given more homestead fields, so in addition to often hospitalized, the rest of the jurisdiction area is very large, nearly 20,000 acres. According to the usual practice, Zhao Dangshi left most of the soldiers of the pro-support division to temporarily station in the periphery, and went up the mountain gate with more than ten horsemen along the mountain road.

Halfway through the road, a gong sounded, and for a while, countless gray-robed and armored monks rushed out of the woods, blocking Zhao Dangshi and his party with more than ten horsemen. The leader of the monk wore treasure armor, crossed the black horse, carried a broad-backed long knife, and said loudly: "Thief! Unload your armor and dismount, and leave a life! ”

Zhou Wenhe said to Zhao Dangshi: "When I came, in the outer villages, there were people delivering water, I am afraid that at that time, I found out that we were wearing armor and holding weapons, and we had already secretly reported to the temple." ”

was in the middle of the confrontation, but heard Liu Ru suddenly call: "Senior brother! ”

After this reminder, Zhao Dangshi immediately remembered that the leading Baojia monk was probably the chief monk of Shaolin Temple mentioned by Liu Ru before.
