Ling Xiao listened to Jiang Tingxue's words and felt that Jiang Tingxue was much luckier than her. At least Jiang Tingxue also has a father who is obedient to her, although he asks her to learn this, but he also gives her a lot of freedom. Ling Xiao is different, since she was born, her fate has been in the hands of her mother. She is glamorous on the outside, but who knows how she feels inside?

Ling Xiao sighed slightly, and comforted Jiang Tingxue: "This is something you have to accept, everyone has something to face." I don't think your father wants you to face all this, but there's no way around it. Do you know? You can have a father who loves you like this, and many people can't ask for it. ”

When Ling Xiao said this, the dark clouds above Jiang Tingxue's head dispersed a lot, and he smiled at Ling Xiao: "Thank you for saying this to me, I'm in a much better mood." You wait for me to finish this case, and then we'll go to the street, and I'll take you to eat delicious food and have fun. ”

Ling Xiao also smiled: "Okay." ”

Jiang Tingxue began to get busy with her business. Ling Xiao sat in front of the charcoal basin, and the warm breath prompted her to be too lazy to move.

The time of an afternoon always passed quickly, and Jiang Tingxue finally put down the brush and moved her arm.

"Let's go." Jiang Tingxue said lightly.

Ling Xiao really had nothing to do here, and silently pondered the last few moves of that set of swordsmanship in his heart, and before he knew it, he was fascinated. Jiang Tingxue screamed like this, and when he raised his eyes, he was a little confused: "Everything has been dealt with?" ”

"What are you thinking? Immerse yourself in it. Jiang Tingxue was a little curious.

Ling Xiao said without concealment: "A set of swordsmanship." ”

"Don't you want to be a martial arts idiot like your cousin? That's not good. Jiang Tingxue talked about Lu Jingxing, and he had no scruples at all.

Ling Xiao shook his head: "I'm not a martial idiot, I just want to improve quickly." ”

Jiang Tingxue blinked: "If you have time, how about we compare?" ”

"I heard Lu Jingxing say, isn't your family not involved in the disputes of the rivers and lakes? Will you martial arts? Ling Xiao was a little surprised.

"My father asked me to learn martial arts just to defend myself. But I want to go out and explore. Jiang Tingxue's head was full of fantasy at this time.

Ling Xiao wanted to tell her about the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, but when he saw her expression, he was a little unbearable, and it was good to have a thought.

"Don't talk about that, let's go. I'm going to suffocate if I stay here all day. Jiang Tingxue's expression in the last sentence was slightly exaggerated.

The house was empty, and only the charcoal fire released a warm breath.

Before Jiang Tingxue stepped out of the door of the store, she was stopped by a guy: "It's still early, and the money village hasn't played yet." Miss, you can't go yet. ”

Jiang Tingxue wanted to cry without tears, and retorted: "Why can't you go, what I should do has been done." You will be fine for the rest. ”

The guy looked embarrassed: "This is what the head of the family means, and we have no other way to be a buddy." ”

"If you don't say it, won't he know? It's stupid. Jiang Tingxue pulled Ling Xiao and continued to walk out, not forgetting to sarcastically say a word to others.

Jiang Tingxue took two steps, suddenly turned around, and looked at the guy suspiciously: "Huh? Wrong. Yesterday's incident, did you tell the secret? ”

"Miss, how dare I." The guy smiled bitterly, and it was ugly if he didn't cry.

"I'll settle accounts with you tomorrow." Jiang Tingxue deliberately dropped a word to intimidate the person and walked away.

The gray sky was getting darker and darker, and occasionally a cold wind swept by, carrying a damp chill. Although the weather is cold, it can't stop people from going out.

Ling Xiao followed Jiang Tingxue through the crowd and walked through a whole street, and finally entered a silk village.

When the shopkeeper saw that the person who came was Jiang Tingxue, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Miss, please come inside." ”

"Bring me the new silk for this month." Jiang listened to Xuexue's instructions to the shopkeeper.

"Yes, miss." The shopkeeper called a fellow and went into the back room with him.

"This is our own shop, you can take a look." Jiang Ting's snow-white cheeks were slightly red from the cold, and his words were particularly moving.

Ling Xiao answered softly, and followed Jiang Tingxue to look around. There are all kinds of silk and satin, different colors, different materials, different placements, and a neat spread from beginning to end. Ling Xiao knew that such a shop, in that era, was very rare.

The speed of the shopkeeper is very fast, and the work and work of about a cup of tea will come back.

"Miss, these are the new top grades this month, you have seen it." The shopkeeper placed a large stack of silk in his hand on the counter one by one.

Jiang Tingxue nodded with satisfaction and pulled Ling Xiao to the counter: "Let's see which one you prefer." ”

Only then did Ling Xiao understand that Jiang Tingxue's purpose in bringing her here was to help her make clothes.

"Sister Xue, don't bother like this, I have enough clothes to wear." Ling Xiao felt that it was always not good to accept other people's favors plainly.

Jiang Tingxue didn't care about this: "Don't shirk it, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, I see that you are dressed thinly, how can my cousin's wooden man care about other people." ”

Ling Xiao felt that Jiang Tingxue had really wronged Lu Jingxing this time: "Lu Jingxing has done a good job, if it weren't for him in the past few months, I don't know what would have happened." ”

"Why are you still calling him by his full name, it's not kind at all." Jiang Tingxue's focus is different.

"I'm used to calling it like this, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Ling Xiao said.

Jiang Tingxue returned to business: "Hurry up and pick the silk, if you don't pick it, then I'll help you pick it." ”

Ling Xiao was a little helpless, but he was moved by Jiang Tingxue's heart-to-heart and lungs.

"Alright then, that's it." Ling Xiao pointed to a pale blue silk horse and said.

"I think that's good, too." Jiang Tingxue was a little surprised, their eyes were similar.

The guys in the store were all very clever, and without Jiang listening to Xue Duo's instructions, someone came over with a measuring tool and began to measure Ling Xiao carefully.

The winter days are already much shorter, and with this cloudy day, the night seems to have come earlier.

The oil lamp in the shop had already been lit, and the sky outside had not yet darkened, and it was as if it was covered with a veil that could not be seen but touched. At the beginning of the lanterns, the two finally walked out of the silk village. The street is bustling, with various colored yarn lanterns hanging along the street, as far as the eye can see, until the corner is far away. The lively and active children still have no intention of going home, and they play in the streets in twos and threes, singing nursery rhymes.

Jiang Tingxue had no intention of going back, Ling Xiao walked with her, and found that this was not the way back, so she stopped, and there was some doubt in her eyes: "Sister Xue, this doesn't seem to be the way back." ”

"I know. It's still early, and I don't plan to go back. Jiang Tingxue looked like she knew what to expect.

Ling Xiao was a little tired: "It's already dark, and it's not safe to stay outside at night." ”

"It's okay, don't worry, I can do martial arts, I can protect you." Jiang Tingxue patted his chest and said confidently.

"If the people in the house can't find us, we'll be in a hurry." Ling Xiao was a little worried.

Jiang Tingxue didn't care: "They are all used to me like this, so they won't worry." I know you're looking out for me. But don't worry, it's okay, let's go. ”

Ling Xiao shook his head, but still went with her.

Jiang Tingxue took Ling Xiao into a restaurant, and at this moment, the storyteller in the lobby was talking energetically. The listeners listened with excitement and excitement, and applause came after another.

Xiao Er led Jiang Tingxue upstairs, which was a private seat specially designed for listening to books. Ling Xiao sat there and through the carved railing, every expression and movement of Mr. Storyteller was clearly visible.

Jiang Tingxue said some names of dishes to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er left.

"Well, it's nice here. It's just a pity that I came a little late today. Jiang Tingxue felt that Ling Xiao would definitely like it.

"Yes, yes. Sister Xue likes to listen to books? Ling Xiao wasn't much interested in these bustles, but he didn't deny that the environment here was quite elegant.

"I like to hear him talk about the rivers and lakes, and I will come here whenever I have time." Jiang Tingxue has a river and lake in her heart.

There was another round of applause, and the two turned their heads to look.

Mr. Storyteller's right index finger and middle finger were close to each other like a sword, stabbing forward, and his mouth kept saying: "In other words, after the battle between Shuinanqiang and the Lord of Feitou Cliff, Kong Bozhi, the people of Feitou Cliff have never appeared in the rivers and lakes again. Everyone respected the Lord of the Water Pavilion as a hero, but who knew that he went early. The last sentence he said was very regretful.

Ling Xiao listened to what he was talking about Shui Nanqiang, so she listened for a while, after all, she saw Shui Nanqiang kill herself in front of everyone, and the reason for killing herself was still related to her.

"Miss Jiang, the dishes are ready, you can use them slowly." Xiao Er put the dishes in place properly, and reminded Jiang Tingxue, whose soul had left his body.

Jiang Tingxue came back to her senses and waved her hand: "It's none of your business." ”

Nearing the end of the storytelling, Jiang Tingxue picked up the chopsticks: "Let's eat." ”

It's okay not to listen to this book, but as soon as he heard it, Ling Xiao had doubts in his heart.

"Why have I never heard of this Kong Bozhi?" Ling Xiao held chopsticks in his hand and pondered.

"It's normal that you don't know this, this person has been extinct for more than ten years. Back then, he wanted to be the master of the rivers and lakes, and led the people of the Flying Cliff to repeatedly invade various sects, burning, killing and looting. Later, everyone united, and was seriously wounded in the battle between him and Shui Nanqiang, and never came out again. "These old things are all things that Jiang Tingxue only learned about listening to books all year round.

Ling Xiao somewhat understood: "I see. ”

Jiang Tingxue was interested again: "I heard my father say that my cousin took Shui Nanqiang's daughter to Lu Mansion, but is it true? ”

Ling Xiao nodded: "As soon as Shui Nanqiang died, Jun Jian Pavilion was gone, and she was alone, which was also Shui Nanqiang's entrustment to Lu Jingxing before he died." ”

Jiang Tingxue slapped the table: "No wonder." ”

"What's the wonder?" Ling Xiao was a little confused by her reaction.

Jiang Tingxue explained: "I said, my cousin came to our house so early this year to hide from the peach blossoms. ”

Ling Xiao smiled and took a sip of tea: "How do you know that he is avoiding these." ”

Jiang Tingxue smiled skillfully: "I guess it can't be wrong." In the past, he only came after the New Year, and left after a few days. But this time, I decided to stay forever. Jiang Tingxue likes to see Lu Jingxing's embarrassment the most, and now that she has seized such a good opportunity, she will not let it go.
