What appeared in Li Chen'an's eyes was a pink face.

There are fine droplets of water on this face, I don't know if it's tears or rain, Li Chenan can't lick it.

He was a little sluggish at the moment.

First, I found that I was afraid that I would not be able to beat this little boy who had just turned five, and second, from the buzz and vibration of the sword in the scabbard on my back—

Zhongli Ruohua was holding a sword in his hand.

She hung on Li Chen'an's chest and neck, and the sword in her hand was naturally behind Li Chen'an.

Extremely close to the scabbard.

This feeling is even stronger than when I first met Zhong Liruohua.

He was sure that the sword in Zhongli Ruohua's hand had some connection with the sword on his back, but he didn't know that the two swords were originally a pair.

Zhong Li Ruohua's eyes also widened at this time, she also felt the vibration of the sword in her hand, and she felt a little strange, just a little strange, she didn't think about it, and she didn't think about it.

A voice sounded in her ears, it was the voice of her grandmother Fan Taohua:

"If you draw ......!"

Zhong Liruo drew a spirit that fell from Li Chen'an's neck.

She stood in front of Li Chen'an, raised her head, and said in a milky voice: "Brother-in-law, I'll go to you after I finish practicing the sword!" ”

"Okay, please invite me to Juxian Pavilion to eat delicious food, don't forget!"

Dropping these words, she jumped into the open field of the courtyard, and danced her sword in the autumn rain.

The small body flew in the rain, and the pitch-black sword cut in the rain.

Li Chen'an couldn't understand what swordsmanship Zhong Liruo was practicing, but he just felt that it seemed to be very powerful.

It's also very good-looking.

Like a flipped butterfly.

Li Chen'an had nothing to do with this little sister-in-law, he and Zhongli Ruoshui glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and the two continued to walk forward.

"Little sister...... Little sister, this is too lonely. ”

"After all, I was only five years old, and when I was five years old, it was very lively, with many cousins and cousins."

Zhongli Ruoshui said as he walked:

"In fact, there are two large martial arts training grounds in the East and West Academies, and they are all practicing martial arts in the martial arts training grounds, I can't practice, I can only watch from the sidelines, and I am very envious in my heart......

She suddenly looked at Li Chenan and asked: "I can't practice martial arts, so I can't accompany you to the rivers and lakes, will you, do you feel restricted?" ”

Li Chenan smiled slightly: "What do you want?" I'm not a martial arts practicer, and I've never thought about going to the rivers and lakes. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui retracted his gaze, thinking that even if you don't go to the rivers and lakes, you are already in the rivers and lakes.

……

……

Under the autumn rain is a lotus pond.

Li Chenan thought that Zhongli Ruoshui would take him to a certain study.

Unexpectedly, the place where he came was this lotus pond.

Looking at this lotus pond, Zhongli Ruoshui seemed to be stunned for a moment, because there were no lotus flowers in this lotus pond, and it was difficult to see even a piece of intact lotus leaves.

It is almost exactly the same as the lotus pond in the Huaxi Courtyard.

Continue along the gravel path by the lotus pond to the west end of the lotus pond, where there is a towering large-leaved banyan tree.

Li Chen'an's gaze did not fall on the big-leaved banyan, but fell under the tree-

Under the tree sat an old man.

The old man was dressed in a cloak and hat, and held a fishing rod in his hand.

He's fishing!

Zhongli Ruoshui took Li Chen'an to the old man's side and whispered, "Grandma, my granddaughter brought Chen'an." ”

When Li Chenan heard this, he knew that this was the famous Fan Taohua!

He once thought about the scene when he first met Fan Taohua-

For example, in an elegant study with incense burning.

For example, in a small pavilion full of flowers.

Or in a room with swords, guns, and halberds.

He never expected that Fan Taohua would squat by the lotus pond to fish on this rainy day!

I thought she was sitting, but when I got closer, I realized that she was really squatting!

Fan Taohua heard Zhongli Ruoshui's words, and did not raise her head, but still stared at the float intently.

After a while, he lowered the rod in his hand, because the float was motionless, and there was no reaction at all.

"Yesterday I was blown up by your artifact."

"Many fish died."

"I guess the fish that survived were also scared."

"I've been fishing for an hour, but I haven't had a tail."

"Forget it."

She stood up slowly, and Li Chenan realized that although Fan Taohua had passed the age of sixties, her body did not seem to have become shorter because of old age.

She is about 1.7 meters.

There is no old man's twilight, and at a glance it looks extremely capable.

Especially the eyes on that thin face!

Of course, her face has been carved by the years, but she can still see the beautiful and moving appearance of the past.

Her eyes were bright.

It's like the leaves of a big-leaved ficus that has been washed by the autumn rain.

She did not have the slightest majesty of the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion, nor did she have the majesty of a great grandmaster.

She was dressed in a loose gray linen garment without any accessories, like a kind old woman in the countryside.

It's just that her waist is not rickety, her back is not hunched, and her spirit is extremely vigorous.

If you use one word to describe it, Li Chenan thinks that it should be used to loosen the posture of crane hair!

"Hello grandma!"

Li Chen'an bowed in a proper manner.

Fan Taohua's eyes looked at Li Chen'an.

There was not the slightest seriousness on her face, but a little joy.

"I haven't asked you to come to the Hou Mansion for half a month, do you have any complaints in your heart?"

Li Chenan straightened up, the corners of his mouth curled, "No, grandma has a reason." ”

"You've got a good wine."

Fan Taohua looked at Li Chen'an's breath and turned to walk, Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chen'an followed behind her.

"You're a kid, and you're a very good person."

"Cheng Guogong came here yesterday afternoon, and not long ago, the eldest grandson Jinghong also came here. Of course, there are a few more people who have been here the other day. ”

"Fishing with the old man."

"Of course, they're mostly talking about you."

Talking like this, the three of them came to a small wooden house by the lake.

Fan Taohua took off the hat and took off her robe, Li Chenan took it from her hand and hung it on the wall.

She sat in front of a tea table and beckoned to Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui, her expression was still the same, "Come, sit down, there are some things, we should also talk about it." ”

Two people were seated.

Zhongli Ruoshui boiled a pot of tea.

Fan Taohua's gaze fell on Li Chen'an's face again, and she looked at it carefully for a moment.

"What are the chances of winning tomorrow's night's meeting?"

Li Chenan sighed for three breaths, "Eighty percent!" ”

This answer surprised Fan Taohua a little, "Eighty percent? Very good! ”

"What's next for you?"

Li Chenan looked at Zhongli Ruoshui and said with a smile: "Actually, before this, I just wanted to earn more money and live this life happily with Ruoshui." ”

"Now this idea is also the main thing, if Ruoshui wants to go back to Guangling City, I will go back with her."

"What if Wakasui stays in Kyoto for the time being?"

"Then I'll stay."

Fan Taohua lowered his eyes and took a teacup from the tea table, "This teaware is from the Dingyao, and the emperor once gave you something from your grandfather!" ”

"Your grandfather Li Chunfu gave it to the old man when he resigned and retired in the sixth year of Zhaohua."

"Five cups and a pot, each with a person's name engraved on the bottom."

"Your grandfather carved it, please take care of them."

"Now that the old man is old, now that you have arrived in Kyoto, the old man thinks that Cheng Guogong's idea is good."

Fan Taohua raised her head, looked at Li Chen'an, and asked very seriously:

"You...... Are you afraid? ”
