Qiao Yan put down the paper held high in his hand, and the left servant on the side immediately took it. Qiao Yi lowered his head slightly and took the handsome son's document with both hands, only to see that the signature engraved on it was "Wang Shenzhi".

What Qiao Yi didn't know was that this handsome young man with yellow brocade and white sleeves Wang Shenzhi was the first person to stop for her arrival, he accidentally skimmed it, and saw this girl in green clothes at the door with the two guards of Wuling Academy, Zhou Xuan, the moment she turned to leave, she almost thought she had given up, who knew that she would make a comeback in just a moment, holding a paper to find someone, such a thing such a bold and intelligent girl herself was the first time to see her, causing everyone to stop and watch, The sweat on his forehead couldn't help but want to help her.

Wang Shenzhi made a gesture of invitation with his right hand: "Girl, please come with me!" ”

Qiao Yi nodded with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Prince Wang." ”

The two of them entered the Wuling Academy together, and the inside of the Wuling Academy is really magnificent and extraordinary, I am afraid that those who can come here to study are either rich or expensive, and most of them are young talents. One corridor after another, school houses, school halls. Wang Shenzhi saw that Qiao Yi only occasionally looked up and looked around, with a shallow smile: "The girl doesn't have to be too restrained, Xiao Chi should be in the martial arts hall, a little far away, you need to walk for a while." ”

Qiao Yi also smiled back: "Prince Wang doesn't have to be polite, my name is Qiao Yi." ”

Wang Shenzhi nodded, as if to prove that he had listened carefully, and whispered: "Miss Qiao." ”

Qiao Yan nodded, and the two of them didn't say anything more.

Bypassing a long corridor again, Wang Shenzhi pointed to a courtyard in the distance and whispered: "Miss Qiao, that is the martial arts hall, Xiao Chi usually comes here to practice martial arts, and now he doesn't fight boxing in the courtyard and talks to people in the house." ”

Qiao Yi looked at the young man who was practicing martial arts with swords, guns, swords and sticks from a distance, and he was a little at a loss in his heart, which one of these people was him?

Wang Shenzhi beckoned a young man who was dancing a sword at this time and asked, "Do you know where Xiao Chi is at this time?" ”

The young man put away his sword, waved his sleeves and wiped his sweat, and said with a grin: "Originally, he was practicing swords, but his friends came to him, and they went into the martial arts hall to talk. ”

Wang Shenzhi nodded: "Can you go and call him out?" Let's just say that this Qiao girl next to me has something to look for him. The young man looked at Qiao Yan who was standing on the side, touched his head and nodded, turned around and ran towards the martial arts.

At this time, Xiao Chi was kneeling in front of the desk and talking to the person opposite, looking excited and righteous. The young man knocked softly outside the door, but he was only angry: "Who? ”

The young man shouted loudly: "It's me, someone outside is looking for Brother Xiao." ”

Xiao Chi thought about it strangely, and then looked bored: "It can't be the same group of people from a few days ago, right?" If you send them away, they will say that I am gone. ”

The young man shook his head calmly at the closed door in front of him: "No, it was brought in by Wang Shenzhi, saying that a girl surnamed Qiao was looking for you." ”

"What do you say? Last name Joe? Xiao Chi was startled and stood up suddenly. The young man nodded at the closed door in front of him, "Yes, it's a Qiao girl." ”

The person opposite Xiao Chi was also a little surprised, but now he knew it, and just nodded at Xiao Chi: "You better go and take a look!" ”

Xiao Chi nodded hurriedly, made a series at this person, and said goodbye. opened the door, bypassed the young man in front of the door and ran to the center of the courtyard in a few strides, and sure enough, he saw a teenage girl standing next to Wang Shenzhi, who was not very familiar with him.

Xiao Chi recognized this little girl as Qiao Yi at a glance, her face was not much different from before, just opened a little, Xiao Chi patted his sleeve a little nervously, walked up and asked, "You are Gardenia, right?" I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown so tall? ”

From the time when this tall, strong-looking, and tough young man ran out of the martial arts, he knew that he was the Xiao Chi he was looking for, and he patted his sleeve a little nervously, and the small action of patting his sleeve unexpectedly fell in Qiao Yi's eyes, which made Qiao Yi smile, and now he recognized himself at a glance when he saw him, and said that he had grown taller, and he couldn't help but feel warm.

Qiao Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have grown taller, Brother Xiao, you have also grown taller." ”

Xiao Chi smiled a little innocently, and thanked Wang Shenzhi who was standing on the side: "Thank you Brother Shen for bringing Sister Ling in." ”

Wang Shenzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard Xiao Chi's sentence "Sister Ling", and nodded: "You're welcome, it's just a gesture, since Miss Qiao has found Brother Xiao, then I still have some things, so I won't bother you to reminisce." ”

Qiao Yi and Xiao Chi thanked Wang Shenzhi again, and Xiao Chi saw Wang Shenzhi walking away and hurriedly asked, "Gardenia, did you come to me for something?" ”

Qiao Yi shook his head: "Nothing happened to our family, everything is fine." It's just that my dad and mother have always wanted to thank you for saving my sister from a group of bullies before, but I just don't know where you live and where to thank you, I learned about your residence from someone else yesterday, so I came to you today. I came with my father, but you are not at home, my father is waiting at the door, I came to Wuling Academy to find you. ”

"What?" Xiao Chi looked surprised: "Third Uncle Qiao is still waiting at the door?" Well, let's go back quickly! ”

Qiao Yan looked at Xiao Chi's immediately panicked expression and couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Okay, let's go back now." ”

Xiao Chi said to Qiao Yan that he was about to go back, but he took two steps and suddenly glanced back at the martial arts, and Qiao Yan also looked back at the closed martial arts hall, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Is there something that has been forgotten? ”

Xiao Chi shook his head: "No, let's go back quickly!" ”

Qiao Yi nodded, followed Xiao Chi's side and walked back, but lowered his head and frowned suspiciously.

The person in the martial hall was Shen Mo, who was stretching out his hand to push open a secret window at this time, looking at the two departing figures. I was going to discuss that matter with Xiao Chi, but I didn't expect to meet Qiao Yi, who looked a little taller than a few days ago, wearing a cyan dress, the hem and skirt were embroidered with branches from the bottom up, blooming with white plums, the neckline and cuffs were spliced in dark green, combing the double buns common to unmarried girls, lively and lovely.

Shen Mo looked at the distant back, and closed the window until he couldn't see it anymore, letting the sunlight penetrate the papier-mâché window juniper on his face, and his heart was quiet.

Qiao Yi followed Xiao Chi's side closely, and waved at Zuo Xiaowu with a smile when he stepped out of Wuling Academy, causing Zuo Xiaowu's arms to dance wildly.

The two of them quickened their pace, so they quickly walked back to Wuqu Street, and saw Qiao Cheng standing in front of the door from a distance, looking at the crowd walking over as if their faces were full of uncomfortable three big words. Xiao Chi immediately stepped forward to confess: "Third Uncle Qiao, it's all my fault for making you wait so long." ”

Qiao Cheng showed a smile when he saw that the two of them were back, and at this time, when he saw the tall Xiao Chi standing in front of him, he knew that this person was the boy of the past, and not only did he have a sense of embarrassment that time had passed, and he patted the young man's arm and sighed: "You have grown so tall, you are an adult." It's good to say anything wrong, but we didn't say hello to us, and suddenly ran over, which delayed your business. ”

Xiao Chi smiled and shook his head: "No, no, I am very happy that you brought Gardenia with you, Third Uncle Qiao, I can't delay it, it's just to practice martial arts." ”

Xiao Chi opened the door and welcomed the two into the courtyard until they reached the hall. Qiao Yi was already paying attention from the moment Xiao Chi opened the door, observing everything in the house. The yard was very clean, things were neatly arranged, many flowers and trees were planted, and washed clothes were hung on the clothesline.

The tables and chairs in the house are clean and dust-free, clean and tidy, and there are no expensive and extravagant items. Xiao Chi hurriedly added hot tea to Qiao Cheng and Qiao Yi, and sat aside with a smile, Qiao Cheng took a sip of tea and said to Xiao Chi: "Xiao Chi, what about us, we didn't buy anything for you, so we bought some fruits and cured meat and other food." ”

Xiao Chi shook his head: "Third Uncle Qiao, you are here when you come, what else do you bring, I don't lack anything." ”

Qiao Cheng waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Chi's words: "Then you can't bring nothing, this is the rule." ”

Qiao Yi on the side smiled and said, "Yes, the rules can't be broken, my father and I also danced a decoration for you." Qiao Yi said and opened the gift box at hand, took out the exquisite splendid glass bottle, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Xiao Chi, only to see Xiao Chi frown slightly when he saw this ornamental bottle, and said with a disapproving face: "Third Uncle Qiao, I will accept those food, I can't accept this ornamental bottle, this thing is too valuable, how can you buy such an expensive thing to give to me, I am a rough person, never put these things." ”

Qiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, put the bottle back again, and Qiao Cheng said with some embarrassment: "This bottle was not bought, and it didn't cost money." ”

Xiao Chi asked with some confusion: "Don't want money?" ”

Qiao Yi coughed helplessly, and said to Xiao Chi who came over: "Yes, I didn't ask for money, it was sent by someone else." ”

Xiao Chi looked at Qiao Cheng's embarrassed face and the corners of Qiao Yi's mouth that he wanted to ask, thought about it for a while, and finally wisely chose not to ask anything.

Qiao Yi saw that Xiao Chi finally didn't ask anything, so he said again: "If you don't need it, it will be even more impossible for our family to use this ornamental bottle, anyway, it didn't cost money, so you can keep it!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Chi wanted to say something more, Qiao Yi silently turned the mouth of the bottle to Xiao Chi and motioned him to take a look, Xiao Chi glanced at it in confusion, there was a purse inside, it turned out that Qiao Yi didn't know when he stuffed the purse that Qiao Li was going to give to Xiao Chi into the bottle.
