On the day the prince was released, Ah Yin happened to go to the Great Compassion Temple to say goodbye to Ren. When he walked to the hut, he suddenly felt a strange smell in the room, so he hid his figure first.

After a while, I saw the door open and Xiao Zhan walked out of the house.

"Mother stays, just send it here," Xiao Zhan turned his head, looked at Ren, and said softly, "I'm a little busy these days, I may not come here often, you should be careful." ”

"Well, I'm fine here, don't worry about it." Speaking of this, Ren seemed to have sensed something, and glanced up at the place where Ah Yin was hiding. When he found that there was indeed no one there, a little loneliness flashed in his eyes, "It's you, be careful in everything." If you finally escaped death, don't jump into the muddy water again. ”

"Mother, son has his own measure." Xiao Zhan smiled slightly, bowed to his acquaintance, and then left with Feiyun.

When Xiao Zhan was there, Qiqiao didn't say a word. As soon as the person left, her chattering nature was revealed, "Madame, what were you just looking at?" ”

Ren was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his movements to be so obvious, and even the smug Qiqiao on weekdays was seen. She thought to herself, if this was the case, I am afraid that Ah Zhan would have seen that her eyes were fluttering just now, but she didn't break it, "I just ...... It seems that I saw Ah Yin, maybe I was dazzled. ”

Qiqiao blinked, and had some questions in his heart, but he still didn't ask in the end.

……

Xiao Zhan took Feiyun unhurriedly on the path leading to the mountain gate, Feiyun walked behind her and said, "When I went out just now, I felt that there seemed to be a third person's breath, and it was not the person we sent to protect Madame's safety. ”

"Well, I know. That man...... Don't care, he won't hurt my mother," Xiao Zhan had a somewhat complicated look on his face when he mentioned this person, "What's more, my mother should really want to see him." ”

When Feiyun heard Xiao Zhan say this, he immediately understood who the breath he had noticed just now belonged to. His expression changed, but because he was wearing a human skin mask, he still looked the same as usual.

……

As soon as Ren turned around and entered the house, Ah Yin came out of the shadows, and after straightening his clothes, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the voice of the tangram came from the room. She was still as she had been before, grinning widely, and opened the door as she asked who was outside. Seeing that it was Ah Yin standing outside the door, he was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately ran into the room happily to report the news, "Madam, madam!" Look who's coming! ”

When Ren hurriedly came out with Qiqiao, Ah Yin was still standing at the door honestly waiting for them, without stepping into the house for half a step.

"Come in and sit down, you kid." As soon as Ren saw Ah Yin, he immediately laughed and hurriedly welcomed him into the house.

Ah Yin nodded, and carried the shattered star into the elegant cabin and sat down. He looked around and saw that he hadn't come for a while, and that the furnishings of the room had not changed as they had been when he had left.

"Why did you come to me today?" After Qiqiao finished serving tea and snacks, Ren also sat next to Ah Yin and looked at Ah Yin lovingly.

Ah Yin lowered his eyes and glanced at the tea that Qiqiao had made for himself. The unique aroma of tea made him, a person who doesn't like to drink tea on weekdays, can't help but want to taste it. Hearing Ren's question, he raised his head to look at Ren, and said seriously: "Madam, I'm leaving, I'm here to leave." ”

Ren was stunned for a moment, although he was a little lost in his heart, he did not lose his temper, he still sat there dignifiedly, sighed lightly and said, "Since this is the case, you will stay for a light meal." It's never too late to go. ”

Ah Yin was silent for a while, and when he saw that Ren was looking at him with a hopeful face, and Qiqiao was also pale, he nodded lightly.

This hut, located in the Great Compassion Temple, began to rise again in the middle of the day. Ren and Ah Yin sat opposite each other, chatting with each other, she obviously cherished this child in every way, and was reluctant to give up, but she restrained herself and did not show it.

Tangram is also abnormal, and has been staying in the kitchen and not coming out. Occasionally, when I walked out of the kitchen a few times, I hurried out without squinting, and hurried in again, as if I was afraid of making eye contact with Ah Yin.

Ren saw it in his eyes and said to Ah Yin: "Don't blame her, she is a person made of water." Knowing that you are leaving, I can't help but want to shed tears, and I am afraid that I will lose my demeanor in front of you. ”

Ah Yin listened to Ren's words and nodded as if he didn't understand. Seeing that he looked ignorant, Ren didn't say anything anymore, but said, "Your father-in-law...... Is it still in the royal capital? ”

"Well," Ah Yin bowed slightly, "The matter is not over, he can't go." ”

Hearing this, Ren sat up straighter, looked away, and looked at the phoenix tree on the hillside outside the window, "But did he ever think that if he stayed in the royal capital for one more day, these things would never be stopped." ”

"My father-in-law said that even if we are far away in the Unruly Mountains, this matter will still involve us. The tree is very popular, and there is nothing to be done," Ah Yin looked at Ren and relayed to Ren what Liang Qi'an said to him a few days ago, word for word, "My father-in-law asked himself that he was not confused, and he wanted to solve all these disturbances at once." From now on, Tongtian Pavilion will no longer be disturbed by the past events of this generation. ”

When Ah Yin said these words, Ren didn't take his eyes off the phoenix flower tree, and it wasn't until he finished saying that she slowly turned her head sideways to look at Ah Yin and said, "I understand what your stepfather meant." ”

"Ma'am, you look a little tired." Ah Yin didn't understand, but he just said a few words, why Ren's mental outlook was very different from before.

Ren waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, why don't you help me go and see how that girl is doing?" I'll sit here and rest for a while. ”

"Okay." Ah Yin stood up with some hesitation, walked two or three steps in the direction of the kitchen, turned his head and saw Ren's back bleak, indescribably lonely, and his mood became heavy.

Ah Yin walked to the kitchen door, gently lifted the curtain, and saw Qiqiao standing in front of the stove in a daze. Seeing that the little casserole that was simmering over a low fire was already bubbling out of the soup, she had no intention of moving it away from the stove. Seeing this, Ah Yin silently stepped forward and moved the small casserole to the side.

It was only at this time that Qiqiao suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed Ah Yin's somewhat reddened fingers and looked at it again, and was so guilty that he burst into tears, "It's all because the slave is useless, and the son was injured......"

"It's none of your business," Ah Yin withdrew his hand, and when he saw Qiqiao crying even more fiercely, he said: "I practice swords on weekdays, and my hands are calloused, so I'm not afraid of getting hot." ”

After saying that, he spread out his hands to let Qiqiao look at the slightly raised calluses in his palms. Seeing him comforting himself so hard, Qiqiao couldn't help blushing and said, "Let Childe see the joke." ”

Ah Yin didn't answer her words, just glanced at the casserole that he had moved away and said, "What are you cooking?" ”

"Oh, that...... Fish broth. Qiqiao whispered, and was interrupted by Ah Yin, and the sad emotions that had accumulated in his heart finally dissipated a little.

"Fish soup?" Ah Yin looked at Qiqiao suspiciously, and without him asking again, Qiqiao immediately understood what he meant.

"I ...... The slave maid wanted to make up for his wife's body, so he secretly raised a few tails in the backyard......" Speaking of this, Qiqiao secretly glanced at Ah Yin, and saw that he was staring at himself intently, and immediately lowered his head shyly, "Childe seems to like to eat fish too." ”

"Well, yes." Although there was no smile on Ah Yin's face, his facial lines were obviously softened a lot. It's a pity that Qiqiao kept burying his head in his chest and didn't notice it at all. Although Ah Yin was about the same age as him, he was still half a head taller than Qiqiao, and she always kept her head so low, he could only see the tips of Qiqiao's red ears.

Many years later, Ah Yin, who became the master of the first pavilion, occasionally remembered such a picture and felt both warm and heartbreaking. The crystal clear ruby ear tips are forever engraved in his mind.

"Childe, wait a little longer, and you'll be able to eat soon." Qiqiao has been serving by Ren's side since he was a child, and the people next to him are not as straightforward as Ah Yin. suddenly encountered such a sweetheart, and it was still his sweetheart, Qiqiao was already a little dizzy.

If she didn't find a reason to drive Ah Yin away, she was afraid that she would faint on the spot. Fortunately, Ah Yin didn't mean to stay here, and when she said this, she really went out.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Madame."

Qiqiao looked up and saw Ah Yin open the curtain and leave. She opened her mouth, and there was an urge to stop him, but she didn't sit still.

Ah Yin walked back to the room and saw that Ren was still sitting there in that posture. He followed her gaze and saw the phoenix tree.

"Madam, Qiqiao said that we will be able to eat later."

"Well, okay," Ren said, turned back to Ah Yin and said, "You must taste this meal today." Qiqiao must have put a lot of thought into that kid. ”

"Okay." Ren's words reminded Ah Yin of the fish soup boiling in the casserole. So he nodded, and he had a rare expectation for a common meal.

……

When Xiao Zhan returned to the city from the Great Compassion Temple, he suddenly felt unusually lonely. When passing by Lan Yin Ji, he still couldn't help but go in. The shopkeeper saw that he was coming, and hurriedly greeted him in person, "Run......"

Before the honorific title could be spoken, Xiao Zhan put up a finger and put it on his lips, "Shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Yes, Childe hasn't seen you for a long time." The shopkeeper bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"According to the rules of Lan Yin Ji, my elegant room is estimated to have been used by others." Xiao Zhan smiled, glanced upstairs and said.

"No, that's a coincidence. In the days when Childe didn't come, no one offered to rent that room for a long time. There are no diners in that private room today, son, you can go up and sit down. ”

Xiao Zhan touched his stomach, remembered the smoke he saw in the Great Compassion Temple, and said with a smile: "Don't mention it, I don't think that when the shopkeeper said this, I'm really a little hungry." ”

"Then son, please come with Xiao Ke." The shopkeeper replied with a smile, and then took Xiao Zhan upstairs.

Feiyun followed Xiao Zhan into the elegant room without saying a word, and then said loudly: "I didn't expect that Miss Liang Jin of Tongtian Pavilion is still a good hand in business affairs. These guys in Lan Yin Ji are very well-trained. ”

Xiao Zhan looked at the surrounding furnishings with interest, and then looked at Feiyun Dao: "Do you mean the way of welcoming guests, or do you mean other aspects." ”

Feiyun looked at Xiao Zhan expressionlessly and said, "Both." ”

"Tongtian Pavilion uses the Yunlai Inn as a base, and the Shen family uses Lan Yin Ji's wine shop as a place to inquire about the news, which is the best choice. It's just that it just so happens that these two places are under the control of Ah Jin. Xiao Zhan took a sip of the tea soup that the guy came up, only to feel that a stream of heat spread in his abdomen, full of tea fragrance, so uncomfortable.

"What does Childe mean that Tongtian Pavilion has always had no intention of controlling the news of the royal capital?" As we all know, Tongtian Pavilion has been able to stand tall in the martial arts since ancient times, and the most important point is that they know everything about the world.

If it hadn't happened sixteen years ago, Tsutenkaku wouldn't have removed all the eyeliner in the royal capital overnight. Feiyun's thoughts drifted a little away, and he thought of the man who looked like an immortal.

Such a person who is so affectionate and sexually actually controls the Tongtian Pavilion, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for the people of the Tongtian Pavilion.

"Master, what are you thinking?" Xiao Zhan saw that Feiyun suddenly fell silent, and knew that he was starting to wander again.

"I'm wondering, if Tongtian Pavilion has no intention of controlling the news of the royal capital, why Liang Qi'an has been dormant around the royal capital recently, and he has not seen him leave."

"If it were you, the past would have been pulled and pulled for so many years, and no matter who wanted to calculate you. Do you want to clean up the mess you left behind before you retire? ”

Feiyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Zhan with some surprise, "What do you mean?" ”

"I guessed right, Pavilion Master Liang is afraid that he wants to pass on the position to the next generation." As soon as Xiao Zhan's words fell, a small servant knocked on the door outside the room, and only came in with food until the people inside answered. After Xiao Zhan waited for the little servant to retreat, he picked up the wine glass placed in front of him and spun it between his fingers.

"Could it be that he wants to pass on the position of the pavilion master to Miss Liang Jin?" Feiyun asked tentatively.

Xiao Zhan glanced at Feiyun, and the smile on his face was a little complicated, "Pavilion Master Liang is afraid that like the saint, he wants to pass on the position to the ninth brother. ”

……

Ah Yin stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, and suddenly sneezed for no reason. Seeing this, Qiqiao, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, hurriedly put down the work in his hand, walked to Ah Yin's side and said, "What's wrong with Childe?" But the cold? ”

Ah Yin shook his head, Qiqiao stared at him for a while, and then said with a sigh of relief: "Also, the slave has known Gongzi for a while. I've never seen my son catch a cold. ”

"There was a time when I was very sick when I was a child. After the fever subsided, I don't remember much about my biological parents. Impressed, only the father-in-law and Sister Ah took care of them day and night, "Ah Yin didn't know why he suddenly wanted to talk to Qiqiao about these old things, he fell on the phoenix flower tree, and suddenly muttered: "I suddenly understand why Madame likes to look at this tree so much." I always feel that just looking at it can bring peace to my heart. ”

"Childe and Mrs. are incredible. Although it is not a mother and son, it is better than a mother and a son," Qiqiao said in surprise: "Mrs. said exactly the same thing before. ”

"Yes." Ah Yin turned his head to look at Qiqiao and smiled slightly. He smiled like this, and made Qiqiao lower his head again, not daring to look at him directly.

"That ......" Qiqiao looked elsewhere, and didn't even dare to look at the tip of the other party's shoes, "Originally, the slave maid ...... The slave maid wanted to embroider a purse for the son, but the time was too hasty, and the purse slave and maid only embroidered half of it...... I don't know if there will be a chance for my son in the future. ”

The more Qiqiao spoke, the more sad she became, and in the end she bit her lower lip, not wanting herself to cry in front of Ah Yin. Although she is young and ignorant, she also vaguely knows that she will never see Ah Yin for the rest of her life.

People in Buddhism often say that parting is bitter, I am afraid that this is the current situation.

Ah Yin looked at her stubborn appearance, and there was a faint pain on the tip of her heart. Suddenly, he made a decision, and when what he wanted to say blurted out, even he himself was a little frightened, "You just embroider, I'll pick it up at a later date." Give you another month, is that enough? ”

Hearing him say this, Qiqiao suddenly raised his head to look at Ah Yin. There were tears in her eyes, making her eyes look crystal clear. When she came back to her senses, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with joy, nodded again and again: "Enough is enough, don't say it's a month, half a month will be done." ”

Ah Yin estimated the distance between the royal capital and the uninhibited mountain, and replied very seriously: "Okay, let's make an appointment for half a month." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to high-five the tangram as an oath. Qiqiao looked at the palm of his hand that he had been waiting for a long time, and quickly reached out his hand to touch it lightly with shyness and excitement, and immediately took it back.

The moment she withdrew her hand, Ah Yin only felt empty in her heart.

"In this way, we have already made an agreement for fifteen days. Fifteen days from now, I will go to the appointment, and you will wait for me. Ah Yin put his hands behind his back, clenched them lightly into a fist, and said.

"Hmm," Qiqiao nodded in a panic, and went back to the dining table to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. At this moment, her thoughts were chaotic, and her heart was even more chaotic. Everything that happened today was enough for her to reminisce for a while. When she had enough aftertaste, Ah Yin happened to come back again.

Thinking of this, Qiqiao could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth that always wanted to be slightly upturned.

Ren, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at this time and looked at this pair of children who were just beginning to fall in love with each other. Ah Yin turned around and saw Ren staring at him with such a strange look, a little uncomfortable, "Why does Madam look at me like this." ”

"Ah Yin, what you just said to Qiqiao, are you serious?" Ren looked at Ah Yin and asked, "Qiqiao was raised by me since I was a child, and it can be regarded as half of my daughter." If you try to deceive her, I will not allow it. ”

"Madam, please rest assured, I said that I would come to the appointment in the fifteenth day, and I would definitely come," After saying that, Ah Yin also deliberately stretched out his palm and said: "I have already sworn with Qiqiao to high-five." Naturally, the oath will not be broken. ”

Ren listened to Ah Yin's words, smiled and glanced at the corner of the door curtain that was slightly lifted in the kitchen, "Okay, don't always talk about these words." Some people listened, but they fainted with shyness. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain was quickly lowered. Ren covered his mouth and laughed for a while, then he exhaled lightly and said, "It's good, it's good to be young." ”

Ah Yin didn't quite understand what he had done to make Ren so happy, and he didn't ask in detail, he carefully looked at Ren's face for a while, and then looked at Ren very seriously and said, "Madam, you are not in good health, you should see a doctor to recuperate." ”

Hearing this, Ren shook his head lightly and said, "Ah Yin, my own body, I know it myself. I can't have an accident at a time like this, and I can't ask a doctor at a time like this. ”

Ah Yin didn't understand why Ren said this, he vaguely felt that it might have something to do with his fourth brother, "Fourth son, he...... Know about it? ”

At the mention of Xiao Zhan, Ren's eyes were even more gentle, but the smile faded, "Naturally, you can't tell him, don't tell him, okay." Just let Aunt Ren beg you. ”

Ah Yin was stunned, but he didn't expect that it was just a sick thing, and Ren's words were so serious. He nodded, and he agreed.
