On the steps, Pian Pian was still pulling at Lihong, smiling and smiling, trying her best to block his sight from looking at Ding Ruoyu.

At the table, Lou Xue asked Ding Ruoyu to lean on her shoulder, helped her, and went to a side room in a row by the crowd, and locked the door after putting her on the soft couch.

In the wing room, Ding Ruoyu opened his eyes brushed, and after roughly scanning the furnishings in the house, he climbed out of the window and hung under the window of a three- or four-story building. Below was the street market where the lights were shining, and with a strong palm, she squatted on the window sill that stretched out half an arm's length, estimated the distance between the windows of each side room, jumped sideways, and stopped in front of a window sill that had forgotten to take back the sheets.

She tore off the sheets, tore them into long strips, slipped down quickly, and took a few more steps forward to the main entrance of Caihua Building, where Li Hongzheng was standing next to the vermilion lacquer pillar and waiting for her.

"I said that these little tricks are useless to you, Miss Lou doesn't believe it, she wants to try." He smiled, a hint of smugness in his eyes. Lou Xue and Pian Pian also walked out and invited them to the table again.

This time, the two of them invited sincerely, and they won't play any tricks.

"Miss Ding, in fact, I can be regarded as the same teacher as you." After taking a seat, Lou Xue still held Ding Ruoyu's hand and talked about the past with a light smile.

Ding Ruoyu smiled slightly, but was shocked in his heart. This person knows her surname Ding, could it be that Lihong told her something?

"It's just that when I started ten years ago, he had already left the school and went to Xiyan Country alone." Lou Xue gave Ding Ruoyu a piece of rice cake, put down the wooden chopstick and touched her head.

Ding Ruoyu grabbed the rice cake and took a bite, and said vaguely: "I don't know where Sister Lou came from?" ”

"Lingxian Valley." Lou Xue glanced at Lihong with a smile.

Ding Ruoyu, who has never participated in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, naturally does not know this name, and some rising stars in the rivers and lakes also know little about it.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, the biggest feature of our faction is that it is also low-key." Lou Xue picked up the wine glass and touched it with her, took a sip and asked, "Miss Ding, how did you resolve the drug after you saw through the drug?" ”

Ding Ruoyu looked at Lihong, and after getting the other party's nod, he raised his wine glass, poured the wine into his palm, instantly condensed into ice cubes, and put the ice cubes on the table.

"At a young age, you can do magic?" Lou Xue muttered, but Pian Pian stretched out her hand, took Ding Ruoyu's wine glass, put in the ice, and after a while, it turned back into a pot of wine.

He smiled and handed the wine glass back to Ding Ruoyu, mocking Lou Xue for making a fuss. While laughing, I saw that Lihong also took the wine glass in front of Ding Ruoyu, but he didn't make any tricks, just spilled all the wine on the ground, poured new wine and washed it, and said lightly: "It's not too dirty to throw the things on the table." ”

Ding Ruoyu lowered his head silently, muttering in his heart, he obviously didn't do anything embarrassing, why should he panic.

At this moment, a cold gaze came, she was startled, and looked in the direction of that line of sight alertly, and the man in the corner wrapped the mink on his body and turned his gaze to Pianpin.

She also looked at Pianpian with a helpless face, and Lou Xue next to her laughed "sneering", and secretly twisted Pianpin's thighs under the table.

"Whoever called him a woman with a dressophile and such a sharp throat is to blame." Li Hong put one hand on his cheek and looked at Pianpian carefully. He already has a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes, and at the moment he is holding his breath and concentrating, his eyes are full of water, which is very much like admiring his beloved woman.

Ding Ruoyu was chewing snacks, three adults in their twenties were talking, and she couldn't interject a cardamom girl. But seeing Lihong's demeanor, she suddenly remembered that he had said something like not being interested in women, and when she looked at Pian Pian again, her eyes were full of curiosity.

Could it be that the person he really likes is Pianpin, which is why he is so unfeminine?

"Li Yun, you, don't look at me like this," Pian Pian really blushed, rubbing the tassels on the tablecloth and said uneasily, "You look so dangerous, I will make mistakes......"

Li Hong ignored his shyness and slightly excited words, turned to Ding Ruoyu, took out a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs on the corner of her mouth: "You think too much, I'm not interested in men." ”

"How do you know......" Ding Ruoyu unconsciously ate his mouth into a mess, like a little flower cat.

Li Hong just smiled and glanced at him: "That lifeless sword seems to be eating my jealousy, thinking that I am going to rob the 'woman' he fancies." We didn't want to get into trouble this time. ”

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, he's been pursuing Pianpian for several years, but he's always thought he was a daughter." Lou Xue smiled elegantly with her sleeves.

Pian Pian snorted and turned her face away.

"Please, girl." Lihong toasted him with fuel on the fire, so angry that he stomped his foot under the table.

Over there, the man in the sable was so angry that he threw the mink on his shoulder.

"He's coming." Ding Ruoyu hurriedly reminded Li Hong not to go too far.

As a result, the lifeless sword did not come. As soon as he got up, the Qinglong Pavilion disciple at the next table came to toast with a wine glass.

Zong Xiaogongzi saluted Lou Xue and Pianpian, and stopped when he left Hong and asked about his name.

"He is my senior brother, the fifth son of the Li family." Lou Xue introduced with a smile, and pointed at Ding Ruoyu again, "This is Li Gongzi's little cousin." ”

Yes, from a cousin to a cousin again, this brother and sister have no small ability to bluff people.

Li Hong raised his glass and said lightly: "Li Yun." ”

Seeing that he was indifferent and arrogant, and that he was from a big family, Zong Xiaogongzi knew that he didn't like to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, so he only talked and laughed with acquaintances, and didn't ask more. He looked down at Ding Ruoyu and said, "Does this little sister also drink?" ”

Ding Ruoyu saw Lihong shaking his head, so he also said lightly: "No." ”

This serious young man's appearance made Zong Xiaogongzi laugh, looked at Lihong, and said to Lou Xue: "Sure enough, they are relatives, and their expressions and movements are exactly the same." ”

After a few more pleasantries, the main dish was served, and the people of Qinglong Pavilion also returned to their seats.

Lihong glanced at Lou Xue, and the two left the table under the pretext of leaving the table, and for a while, only Ding Ruoyu and Pian Pian were left at the big wine table, which seemed empty.

Coming to a secluded and uninhabited corridor, Lihong stopped.

"Miss Lou, there is a reason why I gave you that piano."

Lou Xue was stunned for a moment, and then said with a lonely smile: "You say yes, why be polite." ”

"I hope you can take that child as a disciple." Li Hong turned to face her, and the moonlight reflected on him, soft and indifferent, which made him at this moment and at the time of the banquet like two people.

Lou Xue took two steps back, leaned against the pillars, and looked up sideways to see the moon after the snow.

"Lihong, you know, my real name is not Lou Xue." She didn't make a choice right away, and spoke slowly like a gossip.

"Forget." Lihong lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes reflected the moonlight, casting a cold under his eyes.

"It's been almost ten years...... At that time, I traveled in Taijing, the imperial city of Dongye, and when I first entered the rivers and lakes, I was young and vigorous, and I didn't know how thick the sky was," she laughed at herself, "but I learned a lesson and almost lost my life." ”

Li Hong listened to her quietly and didn't say a word.

"I was so badly injured that I disguised myself as Hanako and hid in the slums from my enemies. Unexpectedly, the coiling and wound medicine on his body were stolen together, so he could only lie on the straw mat and wait for death. Her expression darkened, and she paused before continuing, "Just as I was about to lose my eyes, a woman appeared in front of me. ”

"'What a serious injury, it doesn't look like it's going to be curable,' she said at the time, in that compassionate tone, and I haven't heard it a second time from anyone since."

The woman's clothes are plain, with a slight powder, and she looks very kind and comfortable. She asked the servant to carry Lou Xue back to her Zhuangzi, settled in a small room, and prepared medicine to take care of her personally until she recovered.

After the injury recovered, Lou Xue was embarrassed to live any longer, and planned to say goodbye first, and then come back to repay the favor when she really became famous in the future, but the woman tried her best to keep it. At last, one day, she couldn't help but ask how long the woman was going to keep her.

The woman said that she knew that her life was short, and she had only one daughter, and she was afraid that there would be no one to take care of her in the future, so she hoped that she could worship her as a teacher, learn some self-preservation skills, and live in peace.

"She is a woman who is both gentle and kind and embarrassed to ask for help, just such a little thing, and she has to hesitate for so long before she is willing to say it." Lou Xue smiled with a faint warmth, "I am the one who should feel embarrassed, I have lived with her for so long." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly stretched out her hands to cover her face, and gradually squatted down along the pillars.

Not long afterward, the elders of the same sect sent a message that she needed to return immediately. After she was reluctantly separated from the woman, it took two years before she came to Ye again.

Lou Xue sat on the ground, hugging her knees all the way: "Her family's huge Zhuangzi was burned by a fire." ”

She searched everywhere for the servants she had known, only to find that they had already been betrayed by the head of the household. She had to find the pharmacy that the woman had been going to two years ago to save her, and learned of the woman's death. A fire burned the snow to ashes. The sleeping people were all lonely ghosts under the flames, and only a few servants who were sent to keep vigil narrowly escaped alive.

"That woman, her name is Xu Chuxue." She buried her face, her shoulders twitched slightly, and then she looked at Li Hong again, "From that day on, I changed my name to Lou Xue and no longer accepted any disciples, just to commemorate her and the promise I didn't fulfill......"

"So it's better to accept it." Seeing that she still wanted to continue, Li Hong immediately interrupted.

Lou Xue looked at him and frowned.

Li Hong said unhurriedly: "That child is Xu Chuxue's daughter." ”

"Really?" Lou Xue was so shocked that she stood up for a long time, and said incredulously, "Everyone said that their mother and daughter died together!" ”

Li Hong calmly said to her a string of sexagenary branches.

It is Ding Ruoyu's birthday.

At that time, the birth date of the daughter's family was usually known only to the parents and closest relatives. Xu Chuxue had told her that she reached into her arms and found a small yellowed piece of paper.

What is written above is exactly the same as that of Lihong Bao.
