However, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the main street was sparsely populated, and there were only a few figures in sight. The car drove all the way, turned a few corners, and arrived at the south of the city.

The two cross streets are all paved with bluestone roads, because they are a prosperous area, and there are jewelry shops on both sides of the road. All nations were hung at the door, shivering in the cold wind.

Soon the car arrived at the Songfeng Pavilion Hotel, and saw an ancient building standing tall. Due to its age, this elegant small building was deliberately preserved during the reconstruction of the city.

It is surrounded by a large area of plum trees, followed by a babbling lake that leads to the adjacent temple. Looking at it from afar, there is a bit of gentleness in the snow and a bright and beautiful scene by the water.

I vaguely heard a few leisurely bells, and the silence revealed a sense of vicissitudes. Su Huiyi was surrounded and walked inside, and the boss had already greeted him and respectfully led him to the box on the second floor.

Because it is a Chinese-style restaurant, its interior decoration is antique, the double phoenix sunrise carved on the pillar is lifelike, and the four walls are hung with celebrities' scriptures, calligraphy and paintings.

When Su Huiyi entered the box, he heard the sound of a woman singing a song from the compartment, he waved his hand, and the boss immediately withdrew.

The room was quiet, and the ethereal tone of the woman was more and more set off, and this antique color had a unique charm. After a while, he heard a very soft laugh, "I'm sorry, Qishao, I've kept you waiting." ”

Su Huiyi turned his gaze and saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes striding in. His eyebrows are extremely handsome, and he looks bohemian on the outside, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not look closely.

This person is the second young master of the leader of the Nandi gang, Ren Tingchen.

As he spoke, he sat down on the chair leisurely and said lightly: "What's the matter with Qi Shao, just let me know, why is it so formal?" ”

The attendant came in with a tray, put the white porcelain teacup in front of the two, and quietly withdrew.

Su Huiyi lifted the lid, and the heat mixed with the fragrance of Longjing rose up, and he said: "Didn't I say earlier that I would set up a banquet to invite you to drink." ”

The female voice was like a fish swimming out of the air, Ren Tingchen listened to it twice, and was unconsciously intoxicated, "The owner of this song is not the red jade girl, right?" ”

Su Huiyi glanced at him, Ren Tingchen's fingers tapped on the table, and continued: "Qi Shao'er invited me to drink today, since I happened to meet a beauty, is there any reason not to invite me?" ”

Su Huiyi picked up the teacup and slowly blew the hot air. Yu Guang caught a glimpse that Ren Tingchen had already walked out, and then there was a burst of laughter in the next room.

He took a sip of tea, and saw Ren Tingchen bring in a woman holding a pipa, who was wearing an old-fashioned skirt with a bright crimson color. There is a faint smear of honey between his lips, and his face is like snow.

At this time, he came over with a pipa in his arms, and he was charming and moving. When she saw Su Huiyi, she saluted and said, "Hongyu has seen Qishao." ”

Su Huiyi glanced at her casually and said, "Miss Ruan's song is good. As he was talking, he saw Shi Minghan, the commander of the Seventh Military Region, walk in, and immediately stood up and saluted, "Seven Shao." ”

Su Huiyi sighed and said, "Commander Shi is so interested." "That Shi Minghan was originally invited to come, how did he expect to meet Qishao?

Now that he was stirred up by Ren Tingchen again, he smiled awkwardly. Ren Tingchen was already sitting on the chair, and when he saw this, he said, "It's better to meet by chance, since Commander Shi is here, let's have a drink together, right?" ”

That Shi Minghan is over fifty years old, and he is a hero who followed Su Qibai to expand his territory, and he thinks he has the style of the older generation. I didn't want to be with these hairy boys, so I had to make a show of it, so I sat aside with a smile.

Su Huiyi put down the teacup and asked, "I heard that my father intends to send Commander Shi to the front line?" ”

Shi Minghan said: "Yes, since the war between Nandi and Fusang, due to the influence of the terrain and weather, it has been a stalemate in Xuping. Da Shuai's meaning is to send me over to be Qi Shao's deputy. ”

Su Huiyi glanced at Ren Tingchen silently before saying, "Uncle Shi is my father's old department, and it stands to reason that he should not be deployed by me, a junior." I mean, this time I went to the front, or only took my own direct line. ”

Shi Minghan was about to speak, but Ren Tingchen had already taken the first step to speak, "Red Jade Girl, might as well come up with another song?" ”

That Ruan Hongyu only looked at Su Huiyi thoughtfully, smiled when she heard the words, and said, "On this occasion, Hongyu still doesn't bother." ”

She got up as she spoke, but Ren Tingchen put the lid of the tea on the table with a "pop", a pair of eyes swept sharply, but the corners of his lips hooked a smile, "What's going on?" Could it be that Qi Shao and I can't stand your tune? ”

Ruan Hongyu was originally a person who was used to seeing scenes, and knew that Su Huiyi was not easy to mess with. She didn't want to be too pretentious, so she sat down in her chair and said, "Then the red jade will do another song." ”

Su Huiyi didn't look at her either, but said to Shi Minghan: "Uncle Shi, you are your father's direct line, it is better to stay with your father, I will personally explain this matter to my father." ”

Shi Minghan smiled and said, "I understand what Qishao means, since this is the case, it is naturally best for you to explain it." ”

Ren Tingchen tapped his fingers lightly along with the tune, but when he heard the words, he said: "Speaking of which, Qi Shao was attacked on the front line last time. It's really a danger to seek safety, that time the commander sent Commander Shi's subordinates, right? ”

When Shi Minghan heard this, his face couldn't help but sink. It's just that there is anger in his heart, but he doesn't dare to attack. He said: "That time it was my chief of staff who had a problem, but fortunately, the seventh young man returned to Jinling ahead of schedule, so I didn't make a big mistake." ”

Su Huiyi said disappreciably: "If there is a problem with the people under your hands, how can you be blamed?" In the final analysis, it is the Fuso people who are too rampant. ”

After a pause, he added, "Recently, many subordinates have died in the military department, and it is really overwhelming to deal with them." ”

The attendant came in with the dishes, because it was a famous chef in Jinling, and the dishes were famous dishes in the south. A dazzling array of tables was set up, all of which were full of colors and flavors.

Ren Tingchen looked at the steamed anchovy in front of him and said, "There are still anchovies at this time?" Where did it come from? ”

The attendant immediately called the boss in, and the boss said respectfully: "It turned out that the second son came here once two days ago, brought some anchovies, and said that he wanted to eat the steamed anchovies made by the master. The rest stayed here, and I saw that the seventh young man came over today, so I ordered the master to do it deliberately. ”

Ren Tingchen let out an "oh", "Got it, you can go." As soon as he said this, he heard the strings of the lute suddenly break, and the tune came to an abrupt end.

Ruan Hongyu's face turned pale with fright, and she said again and again: "It's really rude." ”

Su Hui looked thoughtfully at the pipa in her hand, which was made of pear wood. In addition, it is made of ivory to cover the hand, and the headstock is inlaid with jadeite, carved in the style of plum blossoms, which is extremely elegant.

He said lightly: "The pipa in Miss Ruan's hand is a five-stringed one?" Very little can be seen in the country now. ”

Ruan Hongyu held the pipa in her arms, smiled decently, and said, "This is a gift from the family teacher, from the hands of a famous master in the former Qing Dynasty." ”

Su Huiyi didn't speak, but Ren Tingchen smiled and said, "The red jade girl is hot in Jinling now, so don't sing in that small teahouse, it's a pity." Why don't you go to our family garden, and I'll hold you alone. ”

That Ruan Hongyu set her eyes on Su Huiyi and said, "Master Ren will make fun of me, why didn't you say this when you went to my teahouse in the past?" This time I saw that I got a word of praise from seven less, and you came to me upside down, what a hypocrisy! ”

Her words were delicate and soft, and she was full of charm. The feminine and coquettish that is unique to that group makes people angry.

When Ren Tingchen saw this, he said, "The red jade girl has no seven young eyes in her mouth, what does it mean?" ”

After he said it, he got up and went straight to Ruan Hongyu, and said, "Don't pestle here, we Qishao can easily not boast about people, why don't you hurry up and flatter a few words?" ”

That Ren Tingchen is the master who is used to playing in the flowers, even if he is facing Su Huiyi, he has not restrained himself. As he spoke, he pulled Ruan Hongyu and sat next to Su Huiyi.

Xu didn't stand firmly, so Ruan Hongyu leaned back lightly and stuck to Su Huiyi's arms. She snorted and raised her eyes to glance at Su Huiyi. Seeing that he was just looking at himself calmly, his eyes were like ice embedded in jade, without the slightest ripple.

She couldn't help but be stunned and said, "It's the red jade that is frivolous." ”

Su Huiyi hooked her lips and smiled, took out a pistol from her waist, picked her chin with the muzzle of the gun, and said lightly: "Miss Ruan is very good at greeting and very smart. ”

Ren Tingchen looked like he had succeeded in his conspiracy, and said, "Qi Shao really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”

Shi Minghan sat for a long time, and when he saw this, he said: "Master Ren is also used to messing around, everyone in Jinling knows that the red jade girl is the third son's person, why do you still throw people into Qi Shao's arms?" ”

Ren Tingchen asked disapprehantly: "What about Commander Shi?" What is it for chatting and singing songs with the Ruby Girl? ”

"Today, the third prince asked me to come over, who Cheng thought that I had waited for such a long time, and only the red jade girl came." Shi Minghan said as he asked Ruan Hongyu, "Miss Hongyu, what does the third son mean?" ”

That Ruan Hongyu was pointed at by the muzzle of the black hole, but she was also very calm, "Speaking of which, yesterday he told me that he wanted me to come over to his appointment, but he didn't want to come here, but he only saw Commander Shi." ”

Su Huiyi slowly moved the muzzle of the gun up and said, "Miss Ruan acted well. ”

Ruan Hongyu laughed, "If the seventh young man doesn't believe it, you can ask the third son, why bother with my little girl?" ”

"Miss Ruan is an unusual little woman, and she can still be in danger in the face of my gun." Su Huiyi said, and took back the gun without any interest.

I heard Ruan Hongyu say: "That's because I know that Qi Shao won't shoot, Qi Shao, you are a gentleman, so naturally you won't worry about me as a little woman." ”

Su Huiyi turned to Ren Tingchen and said, "Originally, I was going to have a drink with you today, but it seems that it can only be postponed until next time." Commander Shi, I'll take my leave first. ”

Then Ren Tingchen got up and sent him out, "Seventh Shao, where is this?" Isn't there still Miss Ruan to accompany you now? He looked at Ruan Hongyu lightly and said, "Isn't it, Miss Ruan?" ”

Ruan Hongyu smiled reluctantly, but didn't speak. Raising his eyes, Su Huiyi had already strode down the stairs, his dress was straight and slim, and his cold eyebrows were more and more sharp.

She couldn't help but clench her hands, hiding the unwillingness in her eyes under the smile.
