Gu Qingyan and they met Beiming on the way, so they took a rest, Beiming had something to say to Gu Qingyan, so the two came to the side.

"Where's the West?" Gu Qingyan didn't see Xidu, and asked.

Beiming replied: "Xizhu will take the newcomer back to Peach Blossom Stream first."

The newcomers in his mouth are new apprentices who are about to enter Shimen, and most of them are also nine to twelve or thirteen years old.

"There's a girl." Beiming said that the girl was none other than Yiyi, who was saved some time ago.

Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "Remember to tell the second brother, after all, it is his friend's daughter."

After saying this, Beiming told Gu Qingyan everything he had found in the bamboo forest in the hidden valley, and mentioned Ye Jinliang, the prince of the Hou of Yong'an, Gu Qingyan frowned and muttered: "You can't settle down."

But looking back, it's no wonder that Peach Blossom Stream has been pushed step by step to confirm that he wants to go to Biluo Palace recently, in addition to the sudden roster, the wind on the rivers and lakes has not blew less, which is all due to his Youzhutang.

Now I can understand what Zhao Qiyue and Situ Haoyang came here for one after another, and those who want to contact are not the people below who can talk.

"No return?" Gu Qingyan asked out loud.

Nangong and Shuangying Lou Zhao Qiyue asked Ye Jinliang to contact, Gu Qingyan was not worried, after all, Yuhualou was not a decoration there, and it was easy to make a stumbling block in secret, and Baili Mo had already ordered it.

It's just that if he doesn't return to the city, Zhao Qiyue said that he was already in place, so he couldn't help but make Gu Qingyan alert.

"The three of them have already seen it once, and there is nothing unusual in this neighborhood." I don't know when Baili Mo walked up to Gu Qingyan and said to her.

Even so, Gu Qingyan also told Beiming to pay more attention.

After resting for a while, the group set off again, they had not yet arrived at the Peach Blossom Stream, and Hanyan had already returned to Qingquan Villa.

Sending the Han Yin clan back to the house to rest, Han Yan went to find Han Zhuo: "Dad, mother"

Han Zhuo wiped his sword in the Sword Pavilion, He Jing just happened to send refreshments in, and ran into Han Yan coming, Han Zhuo put down the sword in his hand, and the family of three sat on the tea case, talking about the situation of Qingluo Temple.

Hearing that Gu Qingyan and Situ Haoyang had met head-on and were injured, Han Zhuo asked a few words, and Han Yan said that it was no big deal, so he gave up.

The three of them discussed Su Tanxue, Han Zhuo sighed lightly, and said: "Tanxue has also reached the age of leaving the cabinet, she is not like the girl in Qingyan, and she is still a young lady who does not go out of the door." Your mother is also looking for a good son-in-law for her. ”

Regarding Su Tanxue's marriage, these two adults have also discussed, at the beginning they leaked with Su Tanxue, but Su Tanxue refused, at that time Su Tanxue was still an extremely cautious and introverted girl, and these two were not tough.

Later, I felt that the two of them couldn't make the decision on this matter, after all, Su Guyun was still alive, but he was wandering by himself, no one knew his whereabouts, and Qingquan Villa had also sent someone to look for it, and it was easy to find it, and people didn't want to come back, so they were only intermittently connected. This child's marriage has to be asked by Su Guyun.

Han Yan just listened to the second elder imagining, and he didn't know if he should tell the second elder about Situ Haoyang now, and let them be mentally prepared.

After thinking about it, forget it, after all, what is the development of things now, he can't say for sure, or what will be said later.

The topic turned to Han Zhuo and talked about going to the Shimen Trial in Peach Blossom Stream to watch the battle this year, but Han Zhuo didn't say anything, but told Han Yan to remember to remind him to bring him the gift he prepared for Xing Ming when he turned around.

He Jing said on the side: "The first two times Shaolin was invited, don't you have an excuse not to go when we go?"

Han Yan replied: "If the child doesn't go, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for next year for this gift." With the word of gift, Han Yan made a fork and bypassed.

He Jing looked at Han Zhuo, her eyes met, and she looked like she couldn't say anything.

Gu Qingyan and his entourage returned to Peach Blossom Stream, Gu Ning and the others also left not long ago, and Qingquan Villa, which had been lively for a few days, returned to their original life.

Su Tanxue is the same, Gu Qingyan went back, and the only people who talked to her were the maid Guo'er, and the others were the elders, and some girls whispered to each other, Su Tanxue couldn't talk to Han Yan.

As for Situ Haoyang, Su Tanxue heard that Situ Haoyang was there in Qingluo Temple, but he didn't see it, their last meeting was on his grandmother's birthday, in Su Tanxue's world, Situ Haoyang came silently, and he walked quietly......

Guo'er made the bed, turned around and saw her young lady in a daze by the window, and called softly a few times, Su Tanxue didn't react, so Guo'er had to come closer: "Miss, Miss."

Su Tanxue came back to her senses, turned around and saw Guo'er behind her: "What's the matter?"

Guo'er saw that Su Tanxue had a reaction, so she said: "Miss is tired of traveling, the slave has already made the bed, Miss can rest for a while."

After Guo'er said this, Su Tanxue felt a little sleepy, so she let Guo'er wait to change her clothes and lie down to rest.

A faint aroma gradually entered her heart, Su Tanxue remembered that she didn't have such a taste of spices before, so she asked softly: "Guo'er, this spice seems to be different from the past?"

After listening to it, Guo'er smelled it, and she took the spice from the place where she usually put the spice, and she couldn't say why: "The slave maid took it from the usual place."

Su Tanxue waved her hand and said, "That's it." He rolled over and closed his eyes.

This spice seemed to have a calming effect, and after a while, Su Tanxue fell asleep peacefully, quietly fading from tiredness.

Xu Shaolin went to Qingzhou this time, looked at his tea business, Qingzhou this place is green mountains and green waters, mountains and mountains, the natural environment has raised a group of tea farmers, Xu Shaolin gathered this group of people, circled out a mountain, but built a tea garden, these years the output and sales are OK, this autumn there were a few rains, more rain, first by the tea trees to grow, who would have thought that not long ago frost, even for many days, a batch of tea trees are a little unbearable, the harvest of the bottom of the people can think of all the thought, at the same time will be reported to the top at this time, Dongli got the letter and reported it to Xu Shaolin, and Xu Shaolin went to Qingzhou halfway.

As soon as I arrived in Qingzhou, I listened to the steward in charge of this tea garden below to talk about the situation and the current solution, the tea buds and tea seedlings have not been lost, and there is no other way, Xu Shaolin prepared some materials to appease the tea farmers, and gave some silver taels as a way to make up for the loss.

He turned around and instructed the steward, and ordered people to bring a large number of straw and weeds to spread on them, on the one hand, to keep warm, and on the other hand, even if there was frost again, let the frost rise on the straw to reduce losses.

Fortunately, most of the tea in autumn and winter is used to keep it, so the number of orders is also small, Xu Shaolin checked several tea houses near Qingzhou, and if there is a surplus, he will come here first.

Xu Shaolin dealt with these things and returned to Peach Blossom Stream, and Gu Qingyan and they had already arrived.

Xu Shaolin thought that Zong Yue, Baili Mo and Gu Qingyan would all participate in the inventory, so he asked Dong Liang to call the three of them to get together in his study in Qiwu Courtyard to talk about things.

After Dongli came back, Zong Yue and Bailimo came in one after another, but Gu Qingyan was missing, Xu Shaolin asked Dongli: "Where are the four girls?"

Dong Li replied: "The four girls are in Shimen, and they have sent someone to spread the word, come over later."

After Dong Liang finished speaking, the three of them ignored Gu Qingyan for the time being, anyway, the part that the three of them had to say, Gu Qingyan had always been audible or not.

"This is all the accounts of Peach Blossom Stream in the past year, you two dozen will look at it from today." Xu Shaolin pointed to the account books piled up on the desk at hand and said.

Since Xu Shaolin took charge of Peach Blossom Stream, all their accounts will be reviewed by three people, and then they will start to make plans for the next year, just looking at the accounts is enough for them to be busy for a while.

Gu Qingyan didn't like these things that were calculated and calculated, so at this time, she soaked in the stone gate, concentrating on "torturing" these shadow guards and secret guards.

Zong Yue was forced to get used to the account books, and after being tortured several times, he became accustomed to it.

The accounts are all checked by the account room, and before the three of them gathered, it was confirmed whether they were all real accounts and flat accounts, which also reduced the workload of the three masters.

Anyway, now this account can't be read for a while and a half, and Baili Mo told the two of them some information collected by Yuhualou recently.

Including the current situation in the west, those sects that have confirmed that they are going to Biluo Palace, and those who have been concerned about Peach Blossom Stream recently.

"Shaolin, what do you think?" Zong Yue asked Xu Shaolin.

Xu Shaolin pointed his fingertips on the table, thought about it and said, "Can Situ Haoyang's recent whereabouts still be found?"

Baili Mo shook his head, after Qingluo Temple, the dark line he sent out either couldn't come back, or he couldn't find any traces.

Not to mention Situ Haoyang, even Zhao Qiyue disappeared later, and there was only an empty courtyard left in the bamboo forest in the valley.

"Mo, from now on, all the garrisons of Taohuajian will be strengthened. Yue, aren't you going to go to the town for free clinics? Let the villagers release the exact news that they will leave for Biluo Palace after the Peach Blossom Stream. Xu Shaolin arranged for the two.

Judging from the situation of Xidu's and Beiming's return, Fu Tu wants to instigate other sects to conflict with Peach Blossom Stream, so that Peach Blossom Stream can focus on the outside world.

Gu Qingyan is the weakness of Peach Blossom Stream, and it is also their best breakthrough, maybe they want to do something from Gu Qingyan.

As for Qingquan Villa, he discussed with Han Yan, since Situ Haoyang's goal was Su Tanxue, then this would be left to Han Yan to master.

Zong Yue revealed to Han Yan Situ Haoyang's tricks, hoping that he could prevent it.

"Where are you talking?" Gu Qingyan entered the house, and several people were talking about it.

"It's just in time, how is the situation in Shimen?" Xu Shaolin asked.

Gu Qingyan sat down, took a sip of tea first, and then said, "Second brother, let's go with me when you have time."

The three of them looked at each other with slightly puzzled eyes, and Gu Qingyan continued: "Second brother, among the new children, there is a girl named Yiyi. Whether to let her stay or not, this decision is still up to you. ”

Shimen rarely accepts girls, firstly, because it is not easy for girls to parry Shimen's training, secondly, most of Shimen are men, and together with girls, there are some inappropriate places after all, and thirdly, Gu Ning felt that if it was not special, Shimen's trip down would be too torturous for girls, after all, not everyone can be Gu Qingyan.

Zong Yue listened, and he could only say that he would take a look at it when the time came before deciding, and he didn't know why Yiyi was among these children.

"Nothing else?" Baili Mo asked.

"Nope." Gu Qingyan replied simply, so far, she has not found anything strange in Shimen, and she can't look forward to anything strange in Shimen every day, and cause trouble for herself.

Xu Shaolin snorted, it was best if there was no other situation, but he didn't forget to tell Gu Qingyan: "You also know the style of Fudi, don't be negligent."

Gu Qingyan responded, remembering what Beiming told her about not returning to the city, so she asked Bailimo: "Third brother, how much do we know about the non-return to the city?" Beiming heard Zhao Qiyue say that the city of no return was already in place. Do you know what it means? ”

Baili Mo explained to Gu Qingyan: "The city of no return specializes in cultivating a group of killers, usually walking at night, and it is said that as long as they give money, they can do any murderous work." Compared to our hidden guards, they are more ruthless, cold-blooded, and only obey the orders of the gold lord. If the mission fails, he will commit suicide directly, which is similar to the dead man. ”

Gu Qingyan replied, thinking about something else in his heart.

Xu Shaolin smiled helplessly at the other two, they had no other way to deal with Gu Qingyan, this girl often had her own ideas, but she wouldn't say it until the last moment, which also cultivated their ability to adapt temporarily.

The four of them got together and took care of the peach blossom stream, inventory, and trials, Gu Qingyan looked at the account books and waved his hand again and again, and said that let the three of them solve it by themselves, and after speaking, they were about to run away, but they were stopped by Zong Yue.

"You don't have to look at the account, dinner is going to be right away, and after eating, I still have to look at your wounds." Zong Yue took Gu Qingyan back to the house.

While he was talking, Dong Li came over: "Gu Master, Second Master, Third Master, Fourth Girl, dinner is ready."

Gu Qingyan thought that Dongli was really good at pinching time, and then followed Xu Shaolin out of the study together, and by Xu Shaolin's side, Zong Yue could say a few words to her, which she grasped very well.

"You see, this clever one will find an umbrella." Baili Mo elbowed to Zong Yue and said.

It is said that Qianhuayu, Gu Ning and his wife, and Xing Ming also returned to Peach Blossom Stream, but they did not live directly in the valley, but lived in another courtyard not far away, saying that it was quiet and no one disturbed them, so they did not participate in the activities of these juniors.

At first, Gu Qingyan complained a few words, saying that these people didn't look like adults, and they became more and more disregarded for their desire to express filial piety.

Later, she slowly got used to it, and those few people didn't come, so she dragged Zong Yue to the other courtyard from time to time, in the name of asking for peace, but in fact, she just wanted to see them and them for a while, and she was embarrassed to say.

So this dinner is only for these four people. Gu Qingyan doesn't like food that is too hot, so the temperature of the meal is just right.

After warming the pot of wine and pouring a small glass for everyone, Xu Shaolin raised his glass and drank a glass with everyone first. There is a tacit understanding between them, which flows in the aroma of wine.
