"Little lady Xiao, last time I went to your appointment, but you missed the appointment, what is the reason?" Between the woman's eyebrows, she showed a slight displeasure.

The woman known as Xiao Xiaoniangzi smiled apologetically: "I'm very sorry, even the little lady, last time I was waiting for your arrival in the Taipingju Restaurant, and I waited for more than two hours, and suddenly an accident happened, I had to leave in a hurry. ”

Lian Ruohan received Ling'er's picture of the bamboo tube left by Xiao Jia last time, and when she saw that she was happy, she said goodbye to Wenchang and went to Xiao Jia's appointment, not wanting to wait for her to arrive, but Xiao Jia said goodbye, which made her very angry. Later, Xiao Jia asked her several times, but she turned it away, and she always insisted on the rule of not doing business with dishonest people.

Soon after, Xiao Jia sent a few pieces of lacquerware, the lacquerware was exquisitely made and the patterns were extremely fine, which once again aroused Lian Ruohan's Yaxing, and Xiao Jia wrote a sincere letter, so she agreed to meet Xiao Jia again.

Xiao Jia was really helpless to make an appointment, in fact, the matter was also related to Xia Xiang, if it weren't for Xia Xiang and Xia Cun's argument on the street, even Ruohan would not have lost time because of watching the battle. It was precisely because Lian Ruohan was too involved and forgot the time that Ling'er did not dare to deliver the letter in time, and it was precisely because of this that when Lian Ruohan arrived at Taipingju, Xiao Jia had been waiting for more than two hours.

Let Xiao Jia wait for two more hours, and Xiao Jia has no complaints. It's just that Li Dingshan suddenly appeared and asked Xiao Jia to go to Song Chaodu's mansion with him immediately to discuss matters. Xiao Jia knew that Song Chaodu was Li Dingshan's most trusted person, and although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to go with Li Dingshan.

But it turned out that Song Chaodu had learned that the emperor intended to let Wen Changju replace Yang Di as the chief examiner of this year's big exam, Wen Changju has always disliked Li Dingshan's literary style, as Li Dingshan's student, Xia Xiang's literary style must be difficult to enter the eyes of Wenchangju, if this is the case, this year Xia Xiang is afraid that the road to Jinshi is slim.

Xiao Jia was taken aback when she heard this, if Xia Xiang failed the exam this time, she would have to wait for another three years. Although it is said that there are fifty young jinshi and thirty old Ming Jing, there are not a few people who have won the Jinshi at the age of seventeen or eighteen in this dynasty and the year of the weak crown, not to mention that in her opinion, with Xia Xiang's talent, it is Qu Cai who does not win the champion.

What should I do? Xiao Jia was extremely anxious.

Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan didn't care, Song Chaodu was even more calm, and advised Xiao Jia to be restless, with him and Li Dingshan, Xia Xiang would not have no way out.

Song Chao discussed with Li Dingshan and came up with an idea. Xiao Jia couldn't understand how Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan's ideas could ensure that Xia Xiang would not be deliberately obstructed by Wen Changju and fall off the list, but she didn't understand it and didn't ask much, she also knew that Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan had been in the court for many years, and the wisdom of the court was beyond her reach.

She doesn't have court wisdom, but she has business acumen.

During the period of meeting Lian Ruohan again, Xiao Jia was not idle, and designed several types of lacquerware for An Ziru, which won the praise of many high-ranking officials and ladies, and the reputation of Anjia lacquerware gradually rose. An Ziru no longer believed Xiao Jia, and decided that Xiao Jia was her destined nobleman, and obeyed Xiao Jia's words. Xiao Jia has become half of the shopkeeper of Anjia lacquerware.

invited Lian Ruohan again, Xiao Jia was well prepared, not only improved the bamboo tube that was given to Lian Ruohan before, but also made a few new pieces of lacquerware. Sure enough, when Lian Ruohan saw it, she liked it very much, and asked her to go to Anzhiju for tea together.

Although even Ruohan was a little annoyed with Xiao Jia's resignation last time, she also knew that Xiao Jia was not a person who had nothing to do to entertain her, and she also saw Xiao Jia's Lan Xinhui quality from Xiao Jia's drawings and lacquerware, she has always liked women with aura and wisdom, and she is also willing to befriend Xiao Jia. It's just that by nature, she still deliberately embarrassed Xiao Jia.

After Lian Ruohan was seated, he motioned for Xiao Jia to sit down, although his tone was light, but his tone was unquestionable: "Little lady Xiao, I am not to blame for the previous things, so I won't mention it, if you do business with me in the future, you still have to take me as the main thing in everything, and act according to my will, can you agree?" ”

Xiao Jia smiled indifferently: "That's natural, I admire Lian Niangzi's demeanor like the moon in the sky, since I follow Lian Niangzi, I must only see Lian Niangzi." But ......"

"But what?" Lian Ruohan's face turned cold, "In my place, there is no room for bargaining." ”

"Don't misunderstand even the lady, I'm not bargaining, but to say that everything is naturally above the big things, even the lady has the final say, some small things, such as the style and color of the tea bamboo tube, and then the size, shape and cost of the lacquerware used in the inn in the good times, don't worry about the lady."

Lian Ruohan nodded slightly, although his expression was still silent, the corners of his eyes showed a hint of appreciation. Xiao Jia is really an extremely smart woman, who knows the general situation, knows the proportions, and can put her position right, but she can do things together.

Xiao Jia smiled, she also knew that Lian Ruohan would inevitably take a few points in front of her, in all fairness, she also respected Lian Ruohan's ability and awe-inspiring strength, she picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, when she suddenly changed color.

"Even the lady, there is someone in the room." Xiao Jia stood abruptly, looked around, swept his gaze to every corner of the room in turn, and finally stopped at the exit of the screen, and scolded angrily, "Who? Come out. ”

In terms of business wisdom and strategy, Lian Ruohan is much smarter than Xiao Jia, but in terms of vigilance and skill, she is far inferior to Xiao Jia. When Xiao Jia was drinking tea, he noticed that there was water in the teacup, and the water temperature was cold, so it was obvious that someone was here. Of course, judging someone just by having water in the teacup is also biased, Lian Ruohan was stunned for a while, I don't know how Xiao Jia noticed that there was someone in the room and made it clear that the person was behind the screen.

Xiao Jia has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he feels much more sensitive than ordinary people. However, her martial arts are not strong, only the power of self-preservation, if she changes the mantle, she doesn't have to find that there is water in the teacup to notice that there is someone in the room, but only as soon as she enters the door, she can find that the breath in the room is wrong. After practicing martial arts for a long time, the body's sensitivity to the external environment is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

"Where is the person? How could anyone? Lian Ruohan saw that no one answered, and the screen was motionless, thinking that Xiao Jia was wrong, "It's just that Xiao Er forgot to clean up the pavilion and left the guests' tea, so it may not be that there is someone in the room." ”

Xiao Jia's expression was a little more solemn, because she felt the killing intent coming from behind the screen, the killing intent was too turbulent, which made her suffocate and panic, she took a step back and blocked Lian Ruohan behind her: "Lian Niangzi go quickly, there is danger." ”

Lian Ruohan refused to leave, looking calm: "Not to mention that there is no one else in the room, even if there is, it may not be a bad person." Take 10,000 steps back, even if you are really a bad person, you are not necessarily dangerous. Little lady Xiao, don't be too arbitrary in everything, you might as well think about it more......"

Without waiting for Lian Ruohan to finish speaking, Xiao Jia was forced to calm down by the surging killing intent behind the screen, her right hand stretched out and flipped over, and the arrow in her sleeve shot away, and with a "poof" sound, it penetrated the screen made of silk and disappeared.

The arrow in his sleeve was like a mud ox into the sea, with no response or sound, as if it had been shot into the boundless night. Behind the screen is a window, Xiao Jia knows that with the strength of the arrow in her sleeve, after penetrating the screen, if there is no one, it will shoot into the window lattice. When the arrow hits the window lattice, there will be a "ding" sound. When an arrow hits the human body, it will be a "poof", not a silence.

From this, Xiao Jia was even more sure that there was someone behind the screen, and the arrow in her sleeve was caught by the other party.

The person who can catch the arrow in her sleeve with his bare hands must be a master, Xiao Jia was shocked, and pulled Lian Ruohan to grab the door: "Lian Niangzi, go quickly!" ”

Lian Ruohan panicked slightly, but calmed down after a while, at this time she also believed that there was someone in the room, she did not retreat, but advanced, and took a few steps forward: "I don't know where the master is coming, please show up." is a master, hiding and hiding is not a master's demeanor. ”

Xiao Jia was anxious, the master behind the screen didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, if she made a bold move, not only would she not be able to save Lian Ruohan, but she would also be unable to protect herself, in a hurry, she couldn't stop Lian Ruohan, so she had to step forward - immediately an arrow forward, blocking Lian Ruohan.

Lian Ruohan's heart moved slightly, what a loving and righteous woman. Xiao Jia and her have never known each other in their lives, although Xiao Jia has asked her and wants to join hands with her to do business, but she can't fight for her life, she secretly appreciates Xiao Jia's courage and determination.

"I didn't hide, but the two of you were anti-guest, entered my room without permission, talked loudly, disturbed my silence, and hurt people with secret arrows." As soon as the voice sounded, Mantuo flashed out from behind the screen, and there was an arrow between the two fingers of her right hand, she looked indifferent, and only glanced at Lian Ruohan and Xiao Jia lightly, "Give you back!" ”

With a slight flip of his wrist, the short arrow flew out and went straight to Xiao Jiamian's door. Xiao Jia was shocked, her heart was awe-inspiring, she only heard the sound of arrows whistling like the wind and knew that the other party's martial arts were too much higher than her, she was categorically not sure that she would receive the arrows empty-handed, and immediately flashed to the side, wanting to dodge, but she didn't want to be a step too late, her body did not move, and the short arrow had arrived.

Xiao Jia closed her eyes and secretly screamed, not wanting to see that when He Lian Ruohan was about to accomplish a big thing, he was suddenly killed by a killer, and his life experience was really embarrassing.

As soon as his eyes were closed, he didn't feel half a pain, but he felt the sound of the wind in his ears, and there was a soft sound of "ding" behind him.

Xiao Jia gasped, although she is not a martial arts master, she also knows that the arrow in her sleeve relies on the spring of the machine in her sleeve to fire, if it is shot on the powder wall, it is not bad to be able to sink more than half an inch, the opponent only has the strength of two fingers has such an amazing strength, then there is no doubt that the other party is a first-class master.

How could such a weak woman have such profound martial arts? Xiao Jia was shocked, but also a little admired, if she could have half the effort of the little lady in front of her, she would be enough to walk the rivers and lakes without stopping.

Even Ruohan was taken aback, thinking that the other party would kill someone if he didn't agree with him, but when he saw that Xiao Jia was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and recovered a little indifferent. When I looked at the person in front of me carefully, I couldn't help but be stunned again.

What a beautiful little lady who is as cold as an iceberg!

Even the beauty of Ruohan, such as green lotus, can be viewed from a distance but not appreciated closely. Although the fluttering immortal has the meaning of coming out of the dust, it is rooted in the water, and it is both into the world and out of the world. It is both beautiful and proud, and proud of the crowd.

The beauty of Xiao Jia, such as the hollow valley orchid, is lonely and self-appreciating. Although he is independent and left behind, it is difficult to hide his desire for prosperity in the world. It is both beautiful and glamorous, and it is glamorous.

And the beauty of the little lady in front of her is like the bright moon in the sky, bright and flawless, but it does not fall into the smoke and dust and does not eat the fireworks in the world. It is also like an iceberg snow lotus, unattainable, ignoring the group.

If it is said that even Ruohan's pride is noble and condescending, and the pride of Mantuo is cold and not too hearty.

Lian Ruohan lightly opened his lips: "The slave family's surname is Lian, and it is the owner of the good times." Today's thing, the store is wrong, and I don't know that there are people in the room, so I came in and disturbed the lady, please forgive me. ”

Xiao Jia also came back to her senses at this time, and after thinking about it, she also felt that she was at fault first, so she gave a blessing: "Fang is that I am reckless, I shouldn't shoot arrows at the lady, and I hope that the lady Haihan." ”

Mantuo didn't return the courtesy, sat down by himself, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all: "You two, rude first, and reckless last, if it weren't for my ability, I would have died on the spot with just one arrow." ”

Xiao Jia blushed and felt ashamed: "The lady is invited, the matter of Fang Cai is indeed my fault, if the lady wants to punish, but it doesn't hurt to say it." I was also forced by the momentum of the lady, and I didn't hurt anyone. ”

Mantuo naturally knew that Xiao Jia was forced to shoot arrows at her because of her killing intent, and the reason why she accidentally released the killing was also because of Xiao Jia's breath. Xiao Jia is not good at martial arts, and when he is nervous, he will breathe loudly, and it is easy for his opponent to find out the depth.

"Please also ask the two ladies to leave here, don't disturb me for tea." Mantuo waved his hand lightly, and lay down on the soft couch, "Hurry up, go quickly." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Jia to make a move, Lian Ruohan took a few steps forward, sat in front of Mantuo, raised her right hand lightly, like flowing water, and made a new pot of tea, she first poured a cup for Mantuo, and then poured half a cup for herself, raising her glass over the top: "There was a lot of offense just now, and I apologize to the lady again!" ”

After speaking, he drank the cup of tea in one gulp.

Mantuo didn't look at Lian Ruohan, she was still half-lying on the soft couch, she said lazily: "I came to your tea shop to drink tea, just to be quiet, I don't want anyone to disturb me, whether it is Xiao Er or the owner." I've forgotten what happened just now, and I ask the lady to return me to peace. ”

Even Ruohan poured a second tea for himself, raised his glass, and drank it again regardless of whether Mantuo ignored it or not.

Xiao Jia stood behind Lian Ruohan, and her heart was turbulent. With Lian Ruohan's identity and dignity, he treats each other with such dignity and courtesy, and it is all sincere, not deliberately pretending, it can be seen that Lian Ruohan treats people with his own etiquette, and if he is wrong, he is wrong, and he knows his mistake and admits his mistake, which is everyone's demeanor.

Mantuo glanced at Lian Ruohan and bowed slightly: "If you drink too much tea, it's also intoxicating." Lady, please. ”

Lian Ruohan smiled lightly: "The lady's accent, with the softness of the Jiangnan accent in the official dialect, must have grown up in Jiangnan since childhood, and then went to live in Beijing." The lady is excellent in martial arts, but she has a quiet and virtuous temperament, and she should be born in a family of poets and books. The lady looks like a fairy, but she is as cold as frost, rejecting people thousands of miles away, and more vigilant, which shows that the lady's family is in the middle of the road and her life is displaced...... I don't know if I'm right? ”

Manta sat up suddenly, his face surprised, his eyes like lightning: "You recognize me?" ”

"When we met for the first time, I didn't know the name of the lady yet. The slave's surname is Ruohan, and she is Xiao Jia. Lian Ruohan told the truth to Mantuo.

"Manta." Mantuo reported to his family, but he still didn't believe that Lian Ruohan and her were meeting for the first time, "Do you know my father Lin Xianfang?" ”

"I don't know." Lian Ruohan really hadn't heard of Lin Xianfang, "Does the lady have a place to stay in the capital?" ”

Mantuo thought about it slightly, and was relieved, when her father Lin Xianfang entered Beijing, she was only ten years old, and when she left Beijing, she was thirteen years old. Dad was in Beijing for three years, and then he left the capital and never came back. Even the little lady is about the same age as her, and it is normal for her not to know who her father is. What's more, my father's official position is slight, and there are already a large number of Beijing officials, and because high-ranking officials and powerful people are gathered in the capital, it is not surprising that no one knows about the Beijing officials below the third grade.

"What do you want?" Mantuo glanced at Lian Ruohan, although she was very interested in the good times along the way, she didn't want to get to know the person at the helm of the good times, she directly rejected Lian Ruohan, "Thank you Lian Niangzi for your kindness, I have a place to live in the capital, don't bother." ”

"A safe place is not the same as a safe place." Lian Ruohan is such a smart woman, you can know what everyone needs most between conversations, she smiled indifferently, "If the lady of Mantuo does not dislike it, the good times are always here to provide you with a quiet place to live, not only quiet, but no one dares to disturb the lady's tranquility." Today's matter, the fault lies with me, be careful, and make amends. ”

"That's ......" Mantuo lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, since it is difficult to resist even the lady's kindness, I might as well be respectful, but it is disrespectful." ”

Xiao Jia admired Lian Ruohan's wisdom very much, originally thought that Lian Ruohan couldn't bargain in front of Mantuo, and didn't want to have a confrontation, on the surface, Lian Ruohan retreated step by step, but in fact, he still grasped the initiative, at least Mantuo lived in the residence arranged by Lian Ruohan, which was equivalent to Mantuo agreeing with Lian Ruohan's person, otherwise he would not have put his own safety in the hands of Lian Ruohan.

Lian Ruohan, as the owner of the good times, really has a skill. Not only is he brave and witty, but he is also excellent in terms of strategy and long-term intentions. Xiao Jia thought about it like this, and strengthened her determination to work with Lian Ruohan.
