"It's been ten years, ten years, you finally died in front of me, and now looking at the rivers and lakes, who can compete with me." His tone was very excited, and his mood was even more excited.

But no one could have imagined that he was smiling and laughing and actually lying on the throne and crying again: "Shui Nanqiang, if you die, I will have no opponent, how boring life will be." Woowoowoo......"

After crying, I finally returned to a little normal, and at this moment, the flower hair on my forehead mixed with tears has stuck to half of my face. He combed his tear-soaked hair with his hands and instructed the people in the audience: "Go and prepare a sedan chair, my old friend is dead, I have to go to the grave, right?" In this way, the courtesy is not lost. "That's a weird thing to say

Angry.

The people in the audience were in a cold sweat by his series of uncertain reactions, and their tongues were like knots when they spoke: "Cliff master, you, are you going, going to the Central Plains?" However, the road is a long way. Just let your subordinates go, and that's fine. ”

"What? When it comes to going to the Central Plains, you stutter when you speak? Hehe, in the past few months, you have killed all the people in the Central Plains, but you don't dare to go now? The person kneeling on the ground was ridiculed, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, which was afraid of going to the Central Plains Country. He knew that they were the cliff master, high

When you are happy, you kill people when you are angry, you kill people when you are angry, and you kill people on a whim, and every day you seem to have your neck in your hands, and you are always ready to see Lord Yama. If they want to escape, they can't escape, and only when they are sent out on a mission can they have a little relaxation.

"My subordinates will do it." After the man finished speaking, his feet trembled and hurried out of the hall.

Twilight came with her light, delicate steps. Lu Jingxing parked the carriage in front of a mansion and got out of the carriage. Seeing that the carriage had stopped, Ling Xiao gently lifted the curtain with his hand and poked his head out to look at the door of the mansion.

Through the twilight, Ling Xiao vaguely saw the word "Jiangfu" engraved on the big red plaque, and the golden characters set off the brilliance of the plaque, even in the haze, it was difficult to hide the ** style of the mansion.

"It's here, get off. Pay attention slowly, it is dark. Lu Jingxing turned his head sideways and saw Ling Xiao staring at the closed vermilion gate, and there was a trace of doubt in her eyes.

Now there is no wind, but it is dry and cold. Ling Xiao followed Lu Jingxing's footsteps in a light yellow satin fox fur cloak, collapsed a few steps, and came to the door under the eaves. Lu Jingxing raised his hand and buckled the door knocker a few times, and said to Ling Xiao: "This is my uncle Jiang Qin's family, the family has been in business for generations, and has never participated in disputes in the rivers and lakes

。 ”

Ling Xiao nodded. She knew that there was a big gap between the Nanzhuan Kingdom and the Central Plains Kingdom in the treatment of merchants, and the Nanzhuan Kingdom paid more attention to the development of commerce and had a much higher status.

As the door creaked open, a man with a goatee stepped out. After he saw Lu Jingxing clearly, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "Young Master Cousin, please come in." Lu Jingxing nodded slightly, and stepped into this mansion with Ling Xiao.

Although the night is blurry, you can still see everything in the house. Wooden bridges lie across a pool of clear living water, and withered plants and trees can be seen everywhere. The perfect combination of the cave door is not only the collision of space, but also the fusion of meaning. The pavilions and pavilions are staggered and elegant

Chic. The ingenious construction seems to be a natural thing.

Ling Xiao walked through a corridor with Lu Jing, passed through a cave door, stepped on a wooden bridge, and after the wooden bridge, there was a rockery stone road, and finally crossed a pool of clear water to reach the main house.

The people outside have not yet entered, but the people inside have come out.

"Okay, my uncle has been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you arrive so late? This is the Ling girl you mentioned in the letter, go inside. Jiang Qin's kind face was full of smiles, and he was very happy with Lu Jingxing's arrival.

Ling Xiao saw that he mentioned himself, and hurriedly saluted. Halfway through, he was stopped by Jiang Qin: "Don't care about these red tapes, just treat this as your home." ”

When Ling Xiao walked into the room, he felt warm all over his body, the charcoal fire was burning, the tea on the table was boiling in the pot, and the rich steam continued to overflow and dissipate everywhere. The maid consciously walked up to Ling Xiao and untied her cloak.

"Uncle, how is he doing today?" The three of them sat around the charcoal basin, and Lu Jingxing asked with concern.

"Although people are old, they are still healthy. Come, Miss Ling, with tea. Jiang Qin added tea to the two of them.

"Thank you." Ling Xiao didn't know how to call a man with such a family background in ancient times, which was completely different from the modern name, and once he called it wrong, he would laugh and be generous.

Jiang Qin smiled at Ling Xiao and said, "Miss Ling, don't be too restrained, be casual. I'm Xing'er's uncle, and you're Xing'er's friend. If you don't dislike it, you can call me Uncle Jiang in the future. ”

"Uncle Jiang loves him, how can I dislike it." Ling Xiao said calmly.

"Ling Xiao's temperament is a little cold, please forgive my uncle." Lu Jingxing explained.

Jiang Qin didn't care, but talked about Lu Jingxing: "It's similar to your temperament." ”

Lu Jingxing chatted with Jiang Qin, Ling Xiao just listened silently, and his body warmed up unconsciously. It was already dark outside, Ling Xiao looked up at the outside of the room, and then took a cup and drank it. The tea was already cool, and it was just right to drink at this time.

The man with a goatee walked in from outside, interrupted the conversation between the two, bent down and said respectfully to Jiang Qin, "Master of the family, dinner is ready." ”

"Good. By the way, hasn't Miss come back yet? Jiang Qin nodded at the man, and then seemed to think of something, so he asked more.

The man scratched his head and looked a little strange: "It seems to be back, I guess it's in the room." ”

"Like? That's nothing. If you are not home all day, how can you have a lady who should look like. Jiang Qin sighed to himself.

"Master, why don't I go and take a look." The man went out again.

Jiang Qin's face returned to normal, and there was a smile on his face again: "Let's go, let's go to dinner." ”

The dining room is relatively far away from the main house, and two subordinates carry yarn lamps to open the way in front of the three people, and there are rockery corridors everywhere. If there is no yarn lamp on such a night, it will be bumped or bumped if you are not careful.

Several maids were tightly placing dishes on the table, and their movements were orderly.

"Miss Ling, take a seat." Jiang Qin said.

The dishes had been placed, and except for the two maids who were waiting here, the others came out one after another.

"Uncle Jiang, please first." Ling Xiao still knows this most basic rule.

Before the table was halfway filled with jade delicacies, the silence in the room was broken by the arrival of a woman.

"Father, I'm back, and the affairs of the money bank have been taken care of." The voice is very crisp, faintly revealing a kind of freedom.

When Ling Xiao heard the prestige, he saw a woman wearing a bright red silk silk fox fur cloak walking briskly, and her skin like white jade looked even more refined against the background of the cloak, as if white snow met red plum, pure and not like a thing in the world. The silver hairpin in the hair with the eyebrows and eyes of the spirit add to her little jasper, innocent and innocent. Ling Xiao has been in this world for so long, and there are not a few young women he has seen, and it is really the first time he has seen such a clear and jade person as in front of him.

"You think I don't know, you left the money village at dusk, I don't know where you went crazy again, a girl, it's really getting more and more unorthodox." Jiang Qin blamed.

When the woman heard this, her brows furrowed slightly: "You actually sent someone to spy on me." ”

"Do you need me to keep an eye on me? Qian Zhuang has so many pairs of eyes watching. Jiang Qin said angrily.

The woman was not to be outdone: "I'm busy in Qianzhuang every day, it's rare to be free today, what's wrong with going out for a walk." ”

"Your cousin is here, and this Ling girl, come and see it." Jiang Qin pointed at Ling Xiao.

The woman put her hands behind her back, bent down slightly, looked at Ling Xiao for a moment, straightened up, looked at Lu Jingxing opposite playfully, and opened her thin lips slightly: "Huh?" Is this a rooster laying eggs? I thought you wanted to be alone for the rest of your life, and it's rare for someone to stand your frosty personality. ”

"I don't know the rules more and more, how do you talk to your cousin." Jiang Qin glared at the woman.

Lu Jingxing seemed to be used to this, and said, "This is Ling Xiao, my friend. ”

"It's a confidante, right? I don't need you to say it again, I knew about it a few days ago, and I just wanted to tease you. After the woman finished speaking to Lu Jingxing, she turned her head sideways and said to Ling Xiao: "It's better to see it than to hear it from afar, fortunately." My name is Jiang Tingxue. ”

"Fortunately. Miss Jiang. But I think Miss Jiang must have misunderstood, Lu Jingxing and I are just ordinary friends. "When we met for the first time, Ling Xiao didn't want to make such a misunderstanding.

Jiang Tingxue's eyes rolled, and she teased Lu Jingxing again: "It seems that my cousin must not be considerate enough, and he hasn't captured Miss Ling's heart until now." Do you want me to help you? ”

Lu Jingxing replied simply: "No need." ”

Ling Xiao didn't want to explain her relationship with Lu Jingxing anymore, and the more she explained, the more chaotic it became.

In fact, Ling Xiao herself didn't understand the truth that the authorities were obsessed with bystanders, and she never realized that she had a person living in her heart.

"The food is getting cold, let's eat first. Let's talk after dinner. Jiang Qin pointed to the table full of dishes and said.

Jiang Tingxue then took off her cloak and handed it to the maid, and sat down next to Ling Xiao.

The pale sky is reflected in a pool of clear water, and the rippling water seems to be swimming with the sky, and it is like a cloud floating in the water, and it is reluctant to leave for a long time. The two red plum trees by the pond have budded, and the wind blows slightly on the branches, which is very interesting. In this season of sleep, perhaps only the small and delicate bud is still the most memorable in winter, willing to bring it a different vitality.

Ling Xiao sat alone under the porch in front of the door, leaning sideways against the carved railing, and bowing his head to the carved railing There was a pool of living water. Occasionally, one or two fish that are not afraid of the cold swim in front of you, and the bottom of the water is precipitated with aquatic plants that have begun to wither, which will be the best nourishment for the growth of new aquatic plants in the coming year.
