Li Qian and Liu Ruyan's third meeting was on the night of this Qixi Festival, in this private room.

Strictly speaking, this is the first official contact between the two. The first time came abruptly, and there was a lot of misunderstanding between them; The second time I saw it in a hurry, in a hurry, but it was he who made a bid to get her virginity------

Very plain opening, the two of them seem to have been friends for a long time, and they don't want to say more useless polite words, Li Qian smiled and said a literati downstairs, she happened to hear it when she came in, and then casually picked up, the tone was mixed with a little joke, just right, playful but not annoying.

Li Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, worthy of being a Fengyue woman, she is used to dealing with people on weekdays, not only knows men's minds very well, but also is very good at grasping the degree of interaction with people.

The hall is full of singing and dancing, full of happy guests and smiling, a harmonious atmosphere of peace and prosperity. Li Qian sat by the window, occasionally turning his head to look at the singing and dancing performances on the platform outside the window, casually chatting and laughing with Liu Ruyan, but he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Spring breeze smiles, what kind of dragon gate array is this tonight?

There is a saying that "there is no good banquet", there is an inexplicable relationship between Chunfeng Yixiao Lou and the Zhao family, and in vain he invited himself through Liu Ruyan, it is difficult to say that there will be nothing hidden in this, so Li Qian's heart has always been a little careful.

But it's not enough to say how dangerous it is, after all, it is in public, if they are really willing to plot against their own two-rank jinshi in their own field, it is unlikely, after all, it will implicate countless people.

It is precisely because of this that Li Qian dared to come to the banquet, otherwise he would have pushed it away------ of course, he did not have Guan Yunchang's courage, and Liang Jingru had never given him this thing, and his courage mainly came from Sun Mao, the "golden knife guard" who never left an inch.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Sun Mao, who was standing coolly on the side, but Liu Ruyan changed his mind at this time, and said with a smile: "There are already drinks and food prepared below, Childe might as well let your companion go down and eat some?" ”

This move has a lot of meaning, but it is really incomprehensible.

Obviously, she intended to support Sun Mao, and it is not easy to guess what the purpose is. Because no matter which direction you take to understand it, it seems to make sense.

According to common sense, a lonely man and a widow, living in the same room, and supporting the subordinates is also the proper meaning of the question, and there is nothing wrong with it. As for what happens next, only God knows------

But Li Qian is different, of course, it is not that he has enough concentration, but he knows in his heart his current situation, and he has to be cautious about everything, although he doesn't think that the woman in front of him can pose much of a threat to him.

His gaze turned to Liu Ruyan's face, and then he smiled: "That's not necessary. Then his eyes turned to Sun Mao again, "There are no outsiders left and right, you can sit down, you should eat and drink, there is no need to be taboo." ”

When Liu Ruyan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he instantly covered it, and he poured wine into the wine cup that was Li Qian, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Li Gongzi is not informal." ”

"If it's a small section, why bother yourself?"

"Li Gongzi really doesn't treat the slave family as an outsider?" Liu Ruyan winked playfully at him.

"Ahem------"

This is not easy to accept, and it is also very ambiguous, what should you not be an outsider? Insider?

The secret saying in his heart was powerful, but Li Qian forcibly concealed his embarrassment and said: "I have always been a friend of the girl, don't you see it that way?" ”

"It's an honor for Ruyan------" Liu Ruyan stared at him quietly with a pair of beautiful autumn eyes, "The slave family has always regarded Gongzi as a 'confidant'." She bit the word confidant a little hard.

“------”

I couldn't talk about it that day, and Li Qian found that he had been being teased.

Seeing his embarrassment, Liu Ruyan also stopped the topic in time, his eyes flowed, and he got up and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I want to thank the son for his generous words, otherwise how could the slave family get the name of this Oiran so easily?" A glass of smoke is here. ”

"Why be polite------

Li Qian raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "If you want to thank you, you should also thank Liu'er, if she hadn't taken the initiative to ask for words, I'm afraid the misunderstanding between you and me would still be difficult to eliminate today------ right, why don't you see that girl?" ”

"Oh, she's helping the stewards down there, and there's a lot of guests tonight------ Childe wants to see her?"

"Not really, casually asked." Li Qian laughed and snorted.

"Since Childe didn't take Ruyan as an outsider, he didn't know if he should ask ------ if he had a sentence."

"Then don't ask."

“------”

Rao is such a serious man as Sun Mao, and after listening to Li Qian's words at this moment, he almost didn't laugh out loud.

This person ------ too incomprehensible, right? It's a shame that he is still a decent literati!

Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip lightly, and looked at Li Qian with a resentful expression, as if she was blaming him for choking on his words.

It is said that coquettishness is a woman's patent, Li Qian couldn't help it, and his tone couldn't help but soften.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to be outspoken."

"Then ------ slave family really asked? I hope that the son will not blame the slave family for being presumptuous. Liu Ruyan glanced at Sun Mao on the side, looking a little embarrassed.

At this time, Li Qian was really a little curious, what exactly did she want to ask.

"He's not an outsider, you say."

"Why did ------ Gongzi leave in a hurry that day?"

"That day? I don't know what the girl is referring to------" Li Qian said with some uncertainty.

"June 19, evening." What Liu Ruyan said was naturally the night of combing.

Li Qian heard it, she seemed to be very concerned about her sudden abstention that day?

But think about it, if this is to change any woman, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of disparity in my heart, and I don't mind that it is fake.

In that incident, Li Qian did feel a little guilty about her, after all, it was he who took the initiative to get involved and stir up the situation, and then suddenly withdrew------

It's like a person who walks hard in the desert and suddenly sees a desert oasis, only to find that it is actually just a mirage, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

It is precisely because of this that he didn't want to save Liu Ruyan's face tonight and came to the banquet.

"That day was also a last resort, and you should already know what happened after the sudden ------ of the incident." Li Qian explained simply.

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly, and then asked again: "It's really just because of your pair of personal maids." ”

"Or else?"

"I've heard ------," she said timidly, and glanced cautiously at Sun Mao next to her, as if the topic was a little sensitive.

The words were already out, and Li Qian had no reason to take it back, so he had to wave his hand helplessly: "It's good when he doesn't exist." ”

"------" Sun Mao, who was drinking by himself, wanted to smoke him.

Bah! Are you really my master? Lao Tzu is a dignified brocade guard, qualified to accompany the king!

"I heard from the steward that before you left that day, an aunt ------ a son came to look for you, and he ------ returned ------."

I see, and so it is!

Li Qianxin said no wonder there was a bad premonition just now, it turned out that the problem was here!

That day, a woman came to find herself, but after all, it was spread, but because of the few people in the know, and because of Li Qian's identity, no one dared to spread it wantonly, but in private, it couldn't help but spread it on a small scale.

Of course, it is unlikely that they knew the real situation in the private room that night, at most, they only saw Lin Qiuyun crying and leaving, and their appearance at that time was a little embarrassed, so they would make some random guesses.

Thinking of this, Li Qian secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he didn't let them know that he was splashed with tea, so it would be too shameless.

"Uh, you know that, too?" Li Qian smiled a little unnaturally.

"Later, they also inquired about the identity of the son, and I also heard about it from Liu'er." After Lin Qiuyun finished speaking, she immediately explained: "Li Gongzi can rest assured, this matter will not be spread to the outside world, and there are some rules that we still have to abide by." ”

"So, what do you want to ask?"

"What happened that day, is it really because of ------ because of her?" Considering Sun Mao's presence, Liu Ruyan's words were also quite vague.

"It's not." Li Qian's answer was concise and clear.

"Really?"

"Fake."

“------”

Li Qian really didn't intend to answer this kind of thing seriously, so he simply responded with a very unserious posture and played Tai Chi with her. And this time, he will no longer be easily disturbed by the other party's resentful expression.

Seeing him behave like this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but become more and more convinced of something in her heart. Somehow, at this moment, a wave of stubbornness came to my heart, and I completely forgot to care about each other's identities, and asked a lot of inappropriate words, all about Liu Ruyan.

Li Qian felt strange at first, but later gradually realized that this woman was stubborn, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

When did he become so charismatic? can still make Liu Ruyan jealous of him? It's so dreamy------

A jealous woman is very scary, although Li Qian doesn't think that there is any possibility between them, and he still doesn't want to stimulate this woman at this moment, so he can only answer all questions, but he will definitely not reveal too much about him and Lin Qiuyun.

The atmosphere in the private room began to become very weird, and the two gradually changed from a question-and-answer mode to an awkward conversation, and the theme was still related to Liu Ruyan------

In the sound of singing and dancing, unconsciously, the night has deepened, and there are few spectators in the audience. Many guests in the hall have lost interest in the performance on stage, and have turned to find their own joy and spend the Spring Festival together.

After noticing this, Li Qian interrupted Liu Ruyan's plan to talk about it at the right time, and asked, "Doesn't Miss Ruyan have to go on stage tonight?" ”

"Mom didn't arrange it." Liu Ruyan glanced out the window and seemed to realize that the hour was not early, so she asked, "Childe is going to stay overnight tonight?" I'm going to have someone arrange it for you------"

She was about to get up as she spoke, but Li Qian hurriedly refused, got up to say goodbye, and led Sun Mao away.

Standing outside the door of the Chunfeng Yixiao Building, Li Qian looked at Sun Mao who was accompanying him, and said with a smile: "Brother Bulb, how is the wine tonight?" ”

Sun Mao naturally couldn't fully understand his words, but he didn't have any interest in asking questions, so he just nodded casually and said, "It's okay." ”

Li Qian suddenly felt bored, a rough man is a rough man! No curiosity, a salted fish! Doesn't he know the attitude of asking questions if he doesn't understand Yang Qingxue?

I didn't want to think at this time, the guy actually lazily spoke again: "You are talking about the daughter of the Lin family, right?" ”

"------" Li Qian's eyes widened when he heard this, and his face was full of incredulity.

"Is it true that our Jinyiwei is a vegetarian?" He snorted disdainfully, stretched his waist, and looked like he was full of food and drink, and he didn't forget to sarcastically mock Li Qian. "Also, did you eat tea with your face that day?"

“------”

He knows everything, he knows everything! It is no wonder that when he listened to the conversation between the two in the private room just now, he did not show any curiosity at all, and dared to feel that these were all "old news" to him.

Heart-piercing------
