After Xiao Buyi returned to the inn, a subordinate prepared early and called Xiao Gongzi, who turned out to be a face that Xiao Buyi recognized. At the beginning, Yuan Lan took this subordinate out of the plug, Xiao Buyi remembered that his name was Lu Dali, and he said hello with a smile.

Lu Dali was very excited when he saw that Xiao Buyi recognized him. In their eyes, Xiao Buyi is already like a fairy, others may not know, but he came out of the grassland in person and saw Xiao Buyi's bravery, and admired him very much, but this kind of person has no shelf, but he can be courteous to others, which is rare and valuable.

Xiao Buyi didn't see Yuan Xi again, but she was afraid that she had been caught by Yuan Lan and returned home, when she thought of having a feast tonight, was she going to go on a blind date?

At the beginning, he casually accepted Yuan Xi's invitation, just thinking that he wanted to contact his feelings, but he didn't think about it deeply, but when he thought that Yuan Xi was also in the Eastern Capital, Xiao Buyi was like an ant on his body, and he was uncomfortable.

Xiao Buyi is not old-fashioned and deliberately evasive, but he really doesn't have a cold for this woman dressed as a man Yuan Xi. For him, the love between men and women is more than surname, and surname is more than appearance, although this Yuan Xi looks handsome in men's clothes, but he pesters him all day long to chant poems, which also gives him a big headache. He couldn't imagine how annoying it was for a man to be at home and a woman only asking you to compose poetry.

Lu Dali didn't talk much, Xiao Buyi answered when he asked, Xiao Buyi didn't ask him and hurried away, Lu Dali said that Yuan's house was in Zhangshanfang, and Xiao Buyi also knew roughly and let him lead the way. The two set off from Yujifang, crossed the middle bridge, bypassed Fengdu, and when they came to Zhangshanfang, the sky was already slightly dark, and only the snow was slightly white in the night.

The weather was cold, the snowflakes were flying, and the heavy snow did not stop as soon as it was gone, Xiao Buyi didn't feel anything, Lu Dali was already with hoarfrost on his beard and eyebrows. At this time, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the monotonous sound of horses' hooves tapping and trampling shattered the tranquility of the snowy night.

Lu Dali led the way, and went straight forward after entering Zhangshanfang, the end of the road was brilliantly lit, as bright as day, Xiao Buyi and Lu Dali arrived at the light, and without waiting to get off the horse, they heard a hearty laugh: "Buyi, I think you should also arrive." ”

In the dim light, Yuan Lan greeted him with a smile, although it was a cold night, Xiao Buyi was warm in his heart. No matter whether Yuan Lan bets on him or doesn't win him over, he is finally not bad for him, and now he is firmly standing on his side, not hesitating to go against Yu Wenhua, which makes people like Xiao Buyi unmoved.

The snowy night was cold, and Yuan Lan was also a piece of white flowers on her shoulders, presumably after waiting for a while, she took Xiao Buyi's hand and walked into the mansion, and the next person took a duster to sweep away the snow on the two of them early.

Yuan's house is not luxurious, compared to Xiao Buyi's knowledge during this time, it is a little simple, but the layout is also unique, the two walked through the courtyard, along the corridor, Yuan Lan took Xiao Buyi to a side hall first, the stove was burning inside, the temperature was moderate, and the warmth made people forget the cold.

"Won't I be the only guest today?" Xiao Buyi vaguely heard a commotion in the distance, and wondered why Yuan Lan had found himself here.

"Of course not, but you are the only intimate guest, and the rest are general friends." Yuan Lan smiled: "I'm just talking to them, I just feel boring, it's far less interesting than chatting with you." The excuse comes out and is only waiting for you outside. ”

Xiao Buyi also laughed, "The guest is not coming, but it is not a small faux pas." ”

Yuan Lan shook her head with a smile, "They have good wine and food, beautiful women singing and dancing, and they have long forgotten me as the master." Buyi, what did you think about what I told you today? ”

Xiao Buyi didn't expect him to get straight to the point, and the things in the morning were mentioned again in the evening. After hesitating, he said: "Brother Yuan, it's not that I am reluctant to accept this school scrivener, I have some other reasons for staying here." ”

Yuan Lan pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because of Pei Mingcui?" ”

Xiao Buyi didn't expect him to guess accurately, and he didn't want to deny it, so he nodded slowly.

Yuan Lan's eyes were complicated, "Buyi, forgive me for being presumptuous, I just want to ask you, are you because you like Pei Mingcui to stay in the Eastern Capital, or because you thank Pei Mingcui for staying in the Eastern Capital?" Or do you think this is an opportunity in front of you that you can't miss, and you just want to stay in the Eastern Capital and win a high position? ”

Xiao Buyi said after a while: "Brother Yuan, I know that you want me to stay out of the matter, Mingzhe to protect myself, but what I want to say is that sometimes you don't necessarily want to stay out of the matter, you can stay out of the matter." If I want to sell horses, if I want to be the first ranch in the world, do you think I may not deal with them? I don't want to seek a high position, but I think it's a great opportunity right now. ”

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat." Yuan Lan muttered to herself: "I'm just afraid that there will be more times when the boat is capsized, since you have a decision, I still respect your decision, I only hope you can be careful." Accompany the king like a tiger, I am only afraid that people like you will be destroyed in the temple, and you don't see that those who really think about the world are hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity to move? ”

Xiao Buyi suddenly remembered the question that he had always had doubts about, "Brother Yuan, I want to know what kind of person Miss Pei is, as a daughter, she can ask the Holy Divine Decree to be in charge of Pei Valve's caravan, in my opinion, it is a little incredible." ”

Yuan Lan smiled and said: "Pei Mingcui is Pei Ju's daughter, Pei Ju is an old woman, and she loves her very much." She has a lot of power in her hands, Pei Valve is of course a major factor, but there is a more important factor that most of the cloth clothes don't know, and I'm also hearsay, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"Listen to you." Xiao Buyi said solemnly.

"Just listen to this, don't say it." It was the first time that Yuan Lan had appeared so dignified.

Xiao Buyi almost thought that Yang Guang had fallen in love with Pei Mingcui, otherwise how could Yuan Lan ask him not to be tempted by Pei Mingcui again and again, but he had already thought about this question, if Pei Mingcui was Yang Guang's woman, running around, what kind of system would she become? What's more, although Pei Mingcui is bold and delicate, he is even more rejecting than Bei Pei, except for Ma Yi to meet a few times, this person has never appeared in front of his eyes, he even suspects that Pei Pei is Pei Mingcui, but the surname is not like it at all, but more importantly, Pei Mingcui's daughter's body, busy with affairs, should not risk her life, which can be seen from her request for a holy decree for herself in Chang'an.

"If Brother Yuan thinks that Xiao Buyi will say it, it will be because I didn't say hello." Xiao Buyi smiled.

Yuan Lan stared at Xiao Buyi's face, and finally decided to gamble as well. He didn't know Xiao Buyi for too long, but everything Xiao Buyi did was enough for him to make up his mind to gamble, otherwise he wouldn't have talked to Xiao Buyi early in the morning, told the secret of the infighting in the palace, and pulled Xiao Buyi to talk alone at night. Xiao Buyi's talent is rare, with his years of experience in business, he also feels that this kind of character is rare, he knows that the rise and fall of a family often depends on one person, otherwise those scholars will not try their best to attract this kind of talent to serve themselves.

Originally, Yuan Lan was still hesitant to really win over Xiao Buyi, but a few things in the Eastern Capital a few days ago made him make up his mind and speed up the speed of getting closer to Xiao Buyi, but he was afraid that someone else would take the lead, and it would be too late to regret it.

Everything he said sounded like a big rebellion, if it was spread out, the crime would not be light, but once he trusted Xiao Buyi, he would not harm himself, and more importantly, if he didn't tell the inside story, how could he win Xiao Buyi's trust?

"The first emperor and the saint must not know much about it." Yuan Lan coughed lightly and sorted out her thoughts, "Actually, the saint has a lot of trust in Miss Pei, and he doesn't have a lot to do with Pei Shilang, because Pei Mingcui is a woman after all, and it is not easy to participate in political affairs." However, there are precedents for women to participate in political affairs, and the first emperor's Queen Dugu is an example......"

"Miss Pei is only trusted by the saint because she is a woman, I don't know if Bu Yi has ever heard of Chen Xuanhua's name?"

Xiao Buyi shook his head, "It seems to be a woman?" ”

Yuan Lan didn't think that Xiao Buyi was ignorant, but felt that this person didn't understand and couldn't pretend to understand, and he was a teachable child. Sometimes people who know that some things are not worth showing off, and those who can peel off the cocoons from things are considered smart, and Xiao Buyi is undoubtedly the kind of person with strong ability in the latter.

"Chen Xuanhua was originally the daughter of Emperor Chen Xuan of the Chen Dynasty, and they all said that they were smart and beautiful, and I also met once, and I was shocked." Yuan Lan sighed, "But since ancient times, there has been a lot of life, and sometimes, it is not a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful, especially the daughter of a dead king." At the beginning, the saint was not the Son of Heaven, only twenty years old, and was worshiped as the generalissimo of the Sui Dynasty's soldiers and horses, commanding an army of 500,000 to the south to destroy Chen, and succeeded in one fell swoop, high-spirited, and the scenery was for a while, Chen Xuanhua and he met at that time. ”

Xiao Buyi asked strangely, "So the saint can be regarded as both civil and military, why did he fail to conquer Goryeo several times?" ”

Yuan Lan smiled bitterly and shook her head, "If you think so, it's a big mistake. The saint's destruction of Chen was nothing more than relying on the famous generals at that time and careful arrangements. At that time, Yang Su, He Ruobi, and Han Baohu were all famous generals of the Great Sui, and they were unified to the Holy Lord, and he just sat back and enjoyed his success, if it was a war, he did not participate. At that time, the saint was humble, and in order to gain fame, Corporal Lixian, so the battle to destroy Chen relied on his subordinates to succeed, and he received the credit. But since he became the throne of the Son of Heaven, he no longer has the humility of the year, the second expedition to Goryeo is still for face, and the first expedition to Goryeo is to prove to the world that he is also both civil and military, and he can succeed without relying on famous generals. Why did he ask about everything, and they all said that the soldiers were fast, and he had already delayed the fighter plane when he came and went, and then he ignored the tenacity and cunning of Goryeo, and the people and money were lost, and the matter was ultimately not successful. ”

"So, if you send a name, the consequences will be better?" Xiao Buyi suggested.

Yuan Lan said with a smile: "Buyi, you still underestimate the word Shengshang's face, when the second attack on Goryeo, some people suggested that the Shengshang did not need to levy in person, and only sent a few generals." The saint was furious, saying that if he could not do it himself, how could others succeed, and that man admonished him to be guilty of a capital crime, and then no one dared to persuade the saint again. ”

Xiao Buyi muttered to himself, "It seems that face really kills people." ”

Yuan Lan's eyes lit up, "Buyi, what you said is right, face can indeed kill people, but the face of the saint kills the people of the world." I admire you, the most important thing is to appreciate your patience, you were highly capable, condescending to the deputy leader, but you are neither humble nor arrogant, the scenery in the grassland is unique, I thought that I would be prosperous, but in the Eastern Capital to be a school scholar, but also not impatient. Han Xin can endure it, so he can defeat the overlord of Chu in Wujiang, Liu Bang can endure it, so he can become the hegemony of the world, even if Xiang Yu tries his best to pull out the mountains and cover the world, is it not because of a face to kill Wujiang? The big husband can bend and stretch well, if he blindly fights ruthlessly, after all, it is not enough to succeed. ”

Xiao Buyi was a little embarrassed when he heard the praise, "Brother Yuan, what happened to the saint after he saw Chen Xuanhua, and what does it have to do with Miss Pei?" ”

Yuan Lan also shook her head, "Tell you, it's a bit far." After the saint destroyed Chen, he was full of spirit, Rao is he has seen countless women, and when he saw Chen Xuanhua, he was also shocked and had the idea of admiration. ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "It turns out that the saint also has love. ”

Yuan Lan smiled: "Everyone has been young, you and I have both, and the saint is also a human being, of course." However, although the saint admires Chen Xuanhua, it is because Queen Dugu does not like men to take concubines, and only allows one wife. At the beginning, the saint had already married a wife, and it was said that he still had the same surname as Buyi, that is, Queen Xiao in the current court. Shengshang was afraid that Queen Dugu would not like it and lose the right to inherit the throne, so he didn't dare to marry Chen Xuanhua, and he didn't even dare to take a concubine, so he only captured her to Xijing. When the first emperor was there, although he was the son of heaven and had a harem of three thousand, before Queen Dugu died, he had only touched two or three women, and these two or three were poisoned and beaten to death by Queen Dugu. ”

Xiao Buyi was speechless when he heard it, and secretly said that this Dugu Queen is also lonely enough, and she can restrain a son of heaven like this, and I am afraid that there is only one woman in the world, "There is only one wife, and the emperor has no taste for being fooled." ”

Yuan Lan said with a smile: "Yes, if you marry a fierce woman, then there is no taste in being the emperor, fortunately, the little girl is gentle and virtuous, if Buyi intends to marry, she will definitely not be like Queen Dugu, let alone prevent you from taking a concubine, just Qiaoxi wants the status of a main room." ”

Xiao Buyi thought of Yuan Xi's appearance, a poor boy during the day, and a flying thief at night, his mouth was bitter, and he hurriedly changed the topic, "What about later?" ”

Yuan Lan was not too tightly persecuted, but sighed: "Later, unfortunately, this Chen Xuanhua was valued by the first emperor in Xijing and included in the harem. ”

Xiao Buyi knew that this was already a tragedy, the woman that his son liked, but he was by Lao Tzu, this happened from time to time in the palaces of all dynasties, but he didn't expect that Emperor Wen of Sui was also not exempt from vulgarity, Emperor Yang of Sui, who slept with him, and the Son of Heaven who had excessive silver lust also had a woman who couldn't be pleased, it was really a strange talk in the world.

"Although Chen Xuanhua arrived in the harem, the first emperor also knew the consequences of favor, and he could only look at it and couldn't move, which shows that Chen Xuanhua's charm is amazing, which makes men unbearable." Yuan Lan said again: "Later, Queen Dugu died of illness, and the first emperor couldn't wait to start pampering Chen Xuanhua, which naturally made the saint hold a grudge. When the first emperor died, the saint finally got Chen Xuanhua, but unfortunately Chen Xuanhua was sad that the country was ruined, and the second was that two men were in Linxing, but they were father and son, and they couldn't stand the eyes of the world. ”

Xiao Buyi sighed a little about Chen Xuanhua's misfortune, and he hadn't forgotten the topic, "Chen Xuanhua, I know, but what I want to know most is what it has to do with Pei Mingcui?" ”

"Although the saint and Queen Xiao respect each other like guests, they just respect her for being graceful and virtuous, but they really love Chen Xuanhua, and he is inexplicably saddened by Chen Xuanhua's death." Yuan Lan was unhurried, and sighed softly, "Before Chen Xuanhua died, he only made two requests to the saint, the first is that because his home is in Jiangnan, he asks to bury his bones in Jiangdu, not to seek a big burial, just to be simple." The second is that she is Pei Mingcui's aunt, and her favorite in her life is Pei Mingcui, and she only hopes that the saint will treat Pei Mingcui well. ”

Xiao Buyi was stunned, but he didn't expect the relationship to be so twists and turns.

"The saint loves Chen Xuanhua very much, not to mention the two conditions, at that time, Chen Xuanhua proposed thousands of them, and he would agree to them together. Chen Xuanhua asked to bury the bones in Jiangdu and bury them simply, which was really painstaking, and he didn't want the saint to be infamous because of this. Although the saint has been extravagant and extravagant all his life, the burial of his beloved woman is still done according to her wishes. The first request made the saint feel ashamed of Chen Xuanhua, so he naturally did his best for Chen Xuanhua's second request, Pei Mingcui won the trust of the saint, and Pei Valve has soared since then. ”

Xiao Buyi knew the intricacies of the court and the middle of the court today, which was more than he knew for more than half a year, and only said after a while: "Although Pei Mingcui met by chance, it cannot be denied that she is also very smart." ”

Yuan Lan nodded, "Pei Mingcui is ordinary, but she boasts of having the talent of Huang Aqiu, and she is greatly moved by her deep love for the saint, so she tries her best to assist, but after all, she is a woman, her mental strength is limited, and she has no power to return to the sky, so she took advantage of the time when the seven nobles in the court selected talents to recruit talents to assist the saint." ”

Xiao Buyi understood the twists and turns, and had a headache for the four words of deep love, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that Miss Pei likes the saint?" ”

"I don't dare to say this," Yuan Lan shook his head and said: "Women are very strange, the saint is now in the harem with three thousand fans, how can it be said that it is not a deep love, right?" However, Pei Mingcui has always thought that the saint is good to Chen Xuanhua, but she always thinks that the saint is an affectionate man. ”

When Xiao Buyi heard this, he sighed, and he didn't know how to feel, but Yuan Lan got up with a smile and said: "I'll go and see the situation of the guests first, and I'll come to you in a while and ask you to meet them, these people may be beneficial to your future business, you might as well see them." ”

Xiao Buyi responded, I don't know why he didn't just want to go out by himself, but then he thought about it, most of them were a lot of guests, Yuan Lan was shrewd in handling things, and avoided favoring one over the other and falling into the hands of others.

The information he got from Yuan Lan made him more aware of the current environment, and he had another layer of understanding of Yang Guang and Pei Mingcui, the world saw the immediate interests, and the fight was endless, how did he know that after a few years, the world would be out of control? Pei Mingcui asked herself to persuade Yang Guang, who was always in love, but she felt that she was in the right relationship with him, thinking of Xiao Buyi here, she couldn't cry or laugh, Yang Guang, who was always in love, this should be the most funny description in his previous opinion!

When he was pondering, there was a sound of trivial footsteps outside the hall, Xiao Buyi thought that someone was looking for him, looked up, and saw a person walking in quickly outside the hall, and said urgently: "Sister, you are back." ”

Xiao Buyi froze there, for some reason, when he saw a girl also standing there stiffly, he let out a light 'ah' and covered the cherry mouth with his hand.

The girl's eyes were clear and moving, and she saw Xiao Buyi sitting in the side hall, with a little panic. The pretty face looks like no fat powder, no powder oil, but the skin is clear and clean. The eyebrows are curved, which sets off the bright eyes and good eyes, and covers the small mouth with his hands, which is like Xizi holding his heart.

Her flesh and bones are even, her body is elegant, and she can be analyzed by Xiao Buyi, this is the real Lori. The girl is not too big, like a green bud, and her demeanor may be a little worse, but no one can deny that this is a real beauty embryo!

Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at herself in surprise, the girl's white face suddenly swelled up with a flush, and even extended to her neck, standing there a little panicked, as if she couldn't move. Xiao Buyi had no choice but to stand up slowly, trying to keep her voice as soft as possible, "This young lady, I am a guest invited by the master here, I don't know if you have found the wrong room?" ”

He has a low voice, a magnetic surname, and a sincere attitude that makes people not feel hostile. The horror in the girl's eyes faded away, but the doubt was thick, "Are you?" My dad asked me to come here to find my sister. ”

Xiao Buyi was puzzled and asked, "Who is your father?" ”

"My dad is the owner of this place." The girl looked like she wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare, she didn't step forward, but she didn't retreat, she didn't want to look directly at Xiao Buyi, she secretly looked over, and saw that this person behaved calmly, spoke calmly, and although she was dressed plainly, her bearing was extraordinary, which made people feel good.

Xiao Buyi's heart moved, "Your father is Yuan Lan and Brother Yuan?" ”

The girl nodded slowly in acquiescence, "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Under Xiao Buyi." ”

"Huh?" The girl exclaimed again, this flush not only from the face to the neck, but even to the hands, the expression was unbelievable, but with a little other taste, although she was secretly looking at Xiao Buyi, she was already involuntarily a lot bolder.

Xiao Buyi saw that she was dressed elegantly and quietly, but the whole person looked like she was about to burn, and she didn't understand what was going on. He is not uncommon for shy and introverted women, but it is the first time he has seen such a shy woman. This is Lori, is it Yuan Qiaoxi, Xiao Buyi is a little strange, if she is Yuan Qiaoxi, then who is Yuan Xi? If she is Yuan Qiaoxi, then Yuan Lan excused herself to go out of the side hall, is it just to let her daughter see herself?

"How can you be Xiao Buyi?" The girl muttered in surprise.

Xiao Buyi was very strange, he couldn't understand why he couldn't be Xiao Buyi, Yuan Xi was dissatisfied with Xiao Buyi as soon as he met in his restaurant, all of this was related to the Yuan family, and everything was inexplicable.

The girl's eyes swept over Xiao Buyi's body again, her face was like a red glow, she suddenly turned around, didn't say more, and walked out of the side hall quickly. Xiao Buyi couldn't ask if he wanted to, and he couldn't stop him, and the monk of the second zhang couldn't figure it out. The girl disappeared, and if it weren't for the faint fragrance in the air, he almost thought he was dreaming.

I don't know how long it has passed, and there are footsteps outside the side hall, Xiao Buyi thought that the girl was going and returned, looked up, and saw that Lu Dali had already walked over, "Xiao Gongzi, master, please go to the snow hall to talk about it." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, followed Lu Dali out of the side hall, and when he walked through the corridor, he suddenly asked, "Dali, how many daughters does your master have?" ”

Lu Dali stopped and arched his hand: "Xiao Gongzi, just one, I dare not say the name of Miss, if you want to know, you can ask the master, I don't know why Xiao Gongzi asked so?" ”

Xiao Buyi saw that he was respectful to himself, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, "Just ask." ”

"Oh." Lu nodded vigorously, turned around like a gourd and continued to move forward. Xiao Buyi wondered in his heart, he could clearly determine that Yuan Xi was definitely not the Lori he had just met, but because he wasn't, he couldn't figure out what was going on when he broke his head. I wanted to ask Yuan Lan how many brothers he had, but he was afraid of Lu Dali's respectful attitude, so he had to give up.

Yuan's house looks small from the outside, but it is definitely not small inside, after passing through the corridor, next to it are two rows of houses, under the eaves and on the beams, there are lanterns hanging with lighting, bringing a touch of warmth on the snowy night. Under the light, the heavy eaves of the roof fly out, and although it is covered with snow, it cannot hide the gorgeous color.

The two of them walked through these two rows of houses, and a small lake had already appeared on the opposite side, which was mostly unimaginable elsewhere, but Xiao Buyi knew that in the mansion in Luoyang, the eastern capital, this kind of arrangement was also common. Because of the vertical and horizontal waterways in the eastern capital, most of the rich families are leading water into the house, which is convenient for living in the waterways, and secondly, it looks elegant and chic.

The weather is cold, the lake has frozen, the snow does not stop, the lake is white, if it is summer and autumn, the scenery is mostly more wonderful, a zigzag small bridge is connected to the shore, the other end of the bridge is connected to a lake pavilion, it must be the snow hall that Lu Dali said.

The eaves corner of the snow hall is also hung with a big veiled lantern, the pavilion is quite bright, the pavilion is very large, there are many people, from time to time a burst of cheers sounded, Yuan Lan was also there.

Lu Dali took Xiao Buyi across the bridge to the snow viewing hall, and saw that the people inside were all light and gentle, graceful, a stove in the pavilion, red and warm to the cold winter, a few maids were responsible for warm wine and barbecue, seeing Xiao Buyi's arrival, Yuan Lan's eyes lit up, and without waiting for anything to say, there was a surprise voice next to him: "Brother Bei, why did you come here?" ”

Xiao Buyi was startled, there was only one person in the world who called him Brother Bei, and when he looked at it, it was Yuan Xi who greeted him! Xiao Buyi secretly complained, Yuan Lan was full of surprised expressions, but Yuan Xi didn't pay much attention, he actually took on the role of the master, grabbed Xiao Buyi's hand and said, "Come, come, come, Brother Bei, I'll introduce you to the guests." ”

Xiao Buyi wanted to break free, but felt that the traces were too obvious, so he could only smile and say, "This is the best." When he turned his head to look at Yuan Lan, he found that he had a very strange expression, which was difficult to explain for a while.

Yuan Xi pulled him to a young man and said: "This is Brother Lin, Lin Shihong of Poyang, there are thousands of rice shops at home, and I heard that tens of thousands of people in his store can't eat the rice for more than ten years." ”

Lin Shihong was tall, his face was slightly dark, his eyes were blazing, Xiao Buyi saw that his hands and feet were big, and his whole body was full of energy, knowing that he would definitely know martial arts, he smiled and said: "Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”

Although Xiao Buyi was laughing, he secretly complained to himself, Yuan Xiyue's introduction on behalf of him, without asking, even if he is not Yuan Qiaoxi, he has a great relationship with Yuan Lan, Yuan Xi is informal, his surname is hearty, if he knows that he lied to him for a while, how can it be good? He said casually at the beginning, he didn't expect a lie to make up for a hundred or so, he was not afraid of any loss to himself, but he was afraid that Yuan Xi would lose face for a while, but it was not his own.

Lin Shihong glanced at Xiao Buyi up and down, and said lightly: "Fortunately." ”

Yuan Xi didn't introduce Xiao Buyi's name, Lin Shihong didn't ask, Yuan Xi didn't care, and pulled Xiao Buyi down one by one to introduce, "This is the Luling Horse Farm, horses are all over the world, that is Wang Junkuo of Shanggu, martial arts and Brother Lin are a moment of Yuliang......"

Although the corners of Xiao Buyi's mouth were smiling, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he didn't know what Yuan Xi was talking about for a while, so he could only nod his head, Ma Xingkong was calm and old, but he just bowed his head to signal, but Wang Junkuo was of medium stature, his face was dark, and he looked a little strong, and when Yuan Xi pulled Xiao Buyi to a person, he said loudly: "This is a big name, his family is originally in the Western Regions, and his family has a huge amount of money. ”

Xiao Buyi was stunned.

Yang Xiaofo's nose bridge is lofty, his eyes are dark, and his cheekbones are protruding, and he is looking at Xiao Buyi with a smile at the moment and says, "It turns out that the school secretary has arrived, and I am fortunate to meet him." ”

Xiao Buyi knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, this Yang Xiaofo was the Hu Han man who proposed a hundred hens in the Sifang Pavilion, how could he be here?

Yuan Xi was always very excited when he saw Xiao Buyi coming, but he couldn't wait to introduce all the people present to Xiao Buyi, and even forgot why he came here. What kind of school scrivener do you say? ”

Yang Xiaofo said lightly: "I don't know any Brother Bei, I only know that the person in front of me is the school bookkeeper who was famous in the Quartet Pavilion yesterday, and the foreign envoys of the outwitted group made it difficult, and was rewarded by the Holy Lord with ten taels of gold, Xiao, cloth, and clothes!" ”

Yuan Xi was stunned, his face suddenly lost blood, and he said after a while: "Yang Xiaofo, what do you say his name is?" ”

"It turns out that Miss Yuan doesn't know Brother Xiao's name yet, this is really a big joke." Yang Xiaofo narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Brother Xiao, Miss Yuan is so attentive to you, haven't you told her her real name?" ”

Although Yuan Xi was dressed as a man, Yang Xiaofo called her daughter, and the people next to her were not surprised, obviously accustomed to it. Yuan Xi's face was even paler, but Yuan Lan had already walked over and said with a smile: "Ruoxi, Bu Yi is probably just joking with you." Buyi, you may not know it, this Ruoxi is my niece, who likes to dress up as a merry boy in her life, Ruoxi, this is what I told you at the beginning, Xiao Buyi, who is stuffed with servants. ”

Although Yuan Lan didn't understand the cause, he was silent in resolving the conflict, Yuan Xibei clenched his teeth, but his face had sunk, Huo Ran raised his head and said, "You are really Xiao Buyi who went out of the jam with your uncle?" ”

Xiao Buyi saw her sad expression, but said a little apologetically: "It turns out that Brother Yuan is Miss Yuan, Buyi didn't see that you are a daughter, I have never seen Miss Yuan, I was just cautious at the time, so I casually said a name, and I wanted to change it in the future, but I couldn't change it." ”

Yuan Ruoxi was slightly pleased and said, "So, you didn't mean to deceive me?" ”

Xiao Buyi could only say: "The first time I met Miss Yuan, how could I have the intention to deceive." ”

Yuan Ruoxi replied with disgust and joy: "It doesn't matter if he is clothed or Brother Bei, I only know you as a talent, Brother Bei, no, Brother Xiao, just now I read your poems to them, they all say that people who make poems are rare talents." ”

Yang Xiaofo laughed, "It turns out that the school scholar is not only quick and wise, but also brilliant, which makes people look away." ”

Yuan Lan frowned and said: "I don't mention Wencai today, just drink and enjoy the snow, most of you don't know that this is Xiao Buyi, the school secretary, Yuan's friend." ”

Ma Xingkong, Lin Shihong, Wang Junkuo and others all changed color slightly, and they couldn't help but re-examine Xiao Buyi. Yang Xiaofo still has a smile at the corner of his mouth, like Maitreya Buddha, but there is a sharp edge in his eyes, as if he is contemplating something.

Since Ma Xingkong and the others came to Yuan's house, of course, they were not friends with Yuan Lan, and they all knew that although Yuan Lan was a businessman, he was definitely the main thing in the Yuan family in Runan. Yuan Lan is easy-going, but her vision is high, and this time she took the initiative to call Xiao Buyi a brother and sister, which is a treatment that no one else has.

Since Yuan Ruoxi knew Xiao Buyi's real name, although he was angry, his face was still cloudy, Lin Shihong suddenly said: "Uncle Yuan, the little nephew heard that Qiaoxi also arrived in the Eastern Capital, and I am ashamed of my literary poetry as if I was not as good as Ruoxi and this Xiao Gongzi, I just want to listen to the piano and enjoy the snow on a snowy night, and I am already satisfied." ”

"Okay, okay," Yuan Ruoxi said with a smile: "I haven't heard Qiaoxi play the piano for a long time." ”

Yuan Lan said with a smile: "Lin Shi's nephew has this Yaxing, which is also a blessing for Qiaoxi. ”

He waved his hand to find someone to come over, and ordered a few words, when Xiao Buyi heard Lin Shizhi's three words, he remembered Lin Shizhi, and secretly thought that this person was called Lin Shihong, I don't know if he has anything to do with Lin Shizhi? Yuan Ruoxi turned out to be Yuan Lan's niece, but when she saw herself, why did she hate the name Xiao Buyi very much, could it be that there was a second Xiao Buyi?

Everyone greeted each other for a moment, and Ma Xingkong had already asked, "I don't know where the school secretary is from?" ”

He is not young, and Yuan Lan is like, Yuan Lan said that Xiao Buyi is a friend, he doesn't dare to call him a virtuous nephew, so he can only be called a school scholar.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Born in the next generation of farming. ”

Ma Xingkong said 'oh', and he didn't bother to say another word to Xiao Buyi, but he was puzzled in his heart. Xiao Shulang is not a big official, just nine products, the size of sesame, and Xiao Buyi is from farming, how can this kind of person be appreciated by Yuan Lan, but it is a strange thing.

Everyone greeted the kung fu, a girl has come from the end of the bridge, although she is young, but it is to make people appreciate the posture, she is followed by two maidservants, holding the incense burner Yaoqin. Lin Shihong saw it from afar, and when Xiao Buyi saw it, he knew that he was interested in this woman, and he didn't know what his mood was.

The girl walked to the pavilion, gave a gift, and said in a low voice: "Qiaoxi has seen Uncle Ma, brothers. ”

Xiao Buyi only recognized it at a glance, this woman was the Lori he saw in the side hall. Lori was dignified, but her face was flushed, her voice was the size of a mosquito, and she didn't look at Xiao Buyi from beginning to end. She went to the side hall to find her sister, of course she was looking for Yuan Ruoxi, but how could she find the mistake, when Xiao Buyi thought of this, she had already looked at Yuan Lan, and when she saw that he was smiling at herself, she was a little surprised, this was mostly Yuan Lan's arrangement, and she just wanted to let herself see Qiaoxi early.

Ma Xingkong laughed, stood up a long time ago, held a jade pendant in his hand, and stuffed it into Yuan Qiaoxi's hand, "Just this Uncle Ma, if you don't give some gifts, it's really unreasonable." ”

Yuan Qiaoxi didn't push, thanked him, and then turned to Yuan Lan and said, "Father, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Lin Shinephew wants to hear you play a song." Yuan Lan smiled and said, "They came from afar, and my father can't let them down." ”

Lin Shihong blushed a little, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister Qiaoxi, it's so cold and freezing, it seems that it's wrong for you to play the piano." It's better to turn around, I'm afraid that you will freeze your body for brother. ”

Yuan Qiaoxi smiled and said: "It's okay, Brother Lin came from afar, I want to listen to Qiaoxi's song, how can Qiaoxi disappoint Brother Lin." ”

The girl ring on the side had already put the case away, the piano was lit on the incense burner, Yuan Qiaoxi sat down slowly, his fingers were plucked, and the sound of the piano had pierced the long night snowy sky, echoing and wandering.
