Chapter 4 Hidden Crisis

was made such a fuss, Xiao Yiran didn't close his eyes groggily until Yinshi, and when he woke up the next day, it was already dawn.

The sunlight outside the house shone on her face through the window paper, and she couldn't help but squint and cover it with her hands. Looking at the antique furnishings in the room, she sighed, resigned herself to getting up and dressing, and prepared to go downstairs to find something to eat.

When he opened the door, he found a tall young man standing outside the door, and Xiao Yiran recognized him at a glance as the guard named He Lin yesterday.

I saw He Lin holding a sword in both hands, standing straight at the door, and when he saw her come out, he hugged her slightly, and said coolly: "Girl, the ninth master is invited!" ”

She frowned and was puzzled: "Ninth Master? ”

"Right next door to the girl."

Xiao Yiran understood, it turned out that it was the person next door who was sitting in the carriage yesterday, she subconsciously looked at the next room, just like last night, the door was closed, and at first glance she thought it was an empty room.

"Why are you ninth masters looking for me?"

"I don't know about this."

"Since that's the case......" Xiao Yiran looked at his cold face, tilted his head and showed a professional smirk: "I'll visit after dinner." ”

After speaking, regardless of the stunned surprise on He Lin's face, he shouted downstairs: "Xiao Er, a bowl of spicy soup, two meat buns!" ”

may have encountered this situation before, He Lin didn't react for a while, and when he woke up, Xiao Yiran had already gone downstairs. Seeing that she found a seat by the window and sat down, he began to wait for the meal with the old god, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he turned around and went back to the room to resume his life.

"Come on! Your meat buns and spicy soup. Xiao Er enthusiastically put the dishes and chopsticks in front of Xiao Yiran, but was stopped by her when he turned around to leave.

"Guest, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yiran took a sip of the soup and frowned slightly: "The taste is light." ”

"No, we have been selling this soup for more than ten years, and we have never had to pick the taste." This little second is no better than last night, he is a sincere person, seeing that Xiao Yiran looks delicate, he didn't think about deliberately picking on this aspect, and immediately said: "Why don't I ask the master to help you put more chili peppers and peppers." ”

Xiao Yiran smiled softly: "Then thank you master." But I've had a heavy taste since I was a child, so if the chef puts too much or too little, then I have to trouble you. Do you think you might as well get some spices for me to add myself? ”

"This ......" Xiao Er hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go and ask." ”

"Thank you."

In the middle of the sound, when Xiao Yiran nibbled on the second meat bun, the little second hurriedly took a small bottle of pepper and handed it to her, Xiao Yiran really poured it into the bowl a few times in front of him, and then asked him to take it back and thanked him.

After eating and drinking, she went upstairs and saw He Lin leaning against the wall again, looking at her expressionlessly.

Seeing her approach, he opened the door and made a "please" gesture.

Xiao Yiran smiled slightly, but he didn't shirk it, and stepped into the room.

The room was no longer as debris as she had seen last night, with tables, chairs and benches staggering. I saw that the vase was staggered on the cabinet, the ground was spotless, and the four vermilion lacquer stools under the carved round table were neatly arranged around the table.

At this time, there was a man sitting on a stool, dressed in a wide robe woven with wide sleeves and silver brocade, with a quiet and distant temperament, and his eyes were like a pool of water, calm with profundity. His slender fingers held a white jade teapot, the teapot was slightly tilted, and the tea in it was poured into the matching teacup, and the heat slowly rose, blurring his delicate face, and the whole person suddenly seemed unreal.

Although Xiao Yiran had seen the man's appearance last night, he was still amazed when he looked at it again today, but what surprised her was that his eyes were obviously red last night, but today they turned black like ordinary people.

Jiu Ye picked up the teacup and looked up, and smiled at her: "I was so offended last night, please forgive me." A cup of coarse tea, talk about apologies. ”

The voice is clear and the tone is gentle, like a mountain spring flowing by, which can soothe the dryness in people's hearts in an instant.

Xiao Yiran sat down with a strange expression, if it weren't for his appearance, she would have begun to wonder if he was the fierce and violent man she saw last night.

Taking the teacup, she took a sip and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" ”

"Oh? Does the girl know the tea ceremony? Jiu Ye smiled and poured himself a glass.

"I know a little bit about it." Xiao Yiran took another sip. In her previous life, she also drank a lot of tea, but she rarely tasted such a special tea. If this tea is coarse, there are not many teas that can be called fine.

Hearing this, the ninth master also picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea in the cup elegantly, and said leisurely: "The girl is really knowledgeable. ”

Here it comes! Xiao Yiran sneered in her heart, she knew that this time it was definitely not as simple as apologizing, I was afraid that the person in front of her had already noticed the abnormality in herself. Yesterday's operation made the Gu worms on his body fall asleep temporarily, and this Ninth Master would not be sick again in a short period of time.

Sure enough, the ninth master put down the teacup, looked straight at her with his eyes, and said with a light smile: "I don't know if the girl is willing to go back to Beijing with me." ”

"This ......" Xiao Yiran looked embarrassed, and the handkerchief in his hand circled his fingers twice, as if he was hesitating.

"Beijing is not as good as here, and at that time, glory, wealth, fame and fortune can be said to be captured." The Ninth Master whispered to temptation.

Xiao Yiran looked moved, but she just refused to reply, her eyes swept over the wide open door, turned to He Lin in front of the door, and the handkerchief in her hand was quietly clenched.

The ninth master was not in a hurry, and still looked at her with a smile.

deliberately hesitated for a while, Xiao Yiran lowered his head as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I refuse." ”

didn't expect her to suddenly refuse, the ninth master was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why?" ”

She sighed softly: "It's not a secret, the little girl's name is Xiao Yiran, she is the daughter of the Marquis Xiao of the Zhongyong Mansion in the capital, she was sent here since she was a child because of her ominous fate, if I suddenly return to Beijing, I am afraid that my father will be angry and bring disaster to the house." ”

When he said this, Xiao Yiran lowered his eyebrows, his face was full of sadness and grievance, but he did not have the slightest resentment, he was really like a little girl who was abandoned by her family, but was still filial and respectful.

"Are you the concubine of the Marquis of Zhongyong?"

"Could it be that the son knows his father?"

"A couple of faces." The Ninth Master understated.

Seeing this, Xiao Yiran squinted slightly, she obviously saw that this person was holding a cup with his fingers when he heard her identity, although his face was not obvious, but she could still feel that he must be more than just a few sides of the father of this body.

"I see. Alas! I don't know if I can see my father again in this life. ”

Her face was sad, but her eyes secretly drifted towards the ninth master. But when her gaze fell on his face, Xiao Yiran's heart sank suddenly, and he saw Jiu Ye looking at her with a smile, as if he had seen through her acting skills. Seeing her look up, she comforted, "Don't worry, maybe Ling Zun will pick you up soon." ”

"I hope so." Xiao Yiran laughed dryly.

"That being the case, then I won't be reluctant to do it, I wish the girl all the best."

This is the meaning of eviction, Xiao Yiran couldn't wait to leave here, and when she heard this, she immediately got up, said two words of goodbye and went out.

Back in her room, she slowly let go of the hand she had been holding the handkerchief, the pepper in the handkerchief gargled and fell to the ground, and the expression on Xiao Yiran's face became gloomy.
