At the end of the poetry meeting, it was already approaching the time of the child, and there was no curfew in Hangzhou during the New Year, so these talented and beautiful people who had to go home before dark in the past also took advantage of the rare free time to compose poems.

Before the end, Yao Ruoyu was dragged by Yang Yanqi, and had to promise that he would definitely go to Yang Wang's Mansion as a guest, so that the female and manish county lord let him go contentedly.

Li Qingzhao's house is in the south of the city, which happens to be in the same direction as the post house where they settled, and they are still walking with four people.

Although there is no curfew, it is deserted on the street because it is close to the hour. Walking on the street, Wu Xue and Hou Jingru held hands and discussed which of the talents in the poetry club was more handsome.

Yao Ruoyu and Li Qingzhao walked side by side, talking and laughing from time to time, and suddenly talked about a series of policies after Dawen occupied Shudi, and to Yao Ruoyu's surprise, Li Qingzhao actually agreed with the policy of matching land according to people.

Seeing that he was surprised, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but smile: "My father is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he will talk to me about political affairs at home on weekdays, so don't think that Qingzhao is a lady who doesn't know state affairs." ”

Hearing what she meant, Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned, glanced at her, and saw Li Qingzhao's beautiful eyes like water, gentle and affectionate, unconsciously turned his head, and chuckled: "I didn't expect Qingzhao to be so powerful, but I underestimated you." ”

Because he looked away, Yao Ruoyu didn't see those beautiful eyes suddenly dim, but Li Qingzhao immediately smiled: "Of course, my father said that I can go out to travel in the middle of this year, and I want to go to Dawen at that time, is it okay?"

Yao Ruoyu was silent for a long time, and then smiled helplessly: "If you want to come, I can't stop you!"

"But, did you let me come?" Li Qingzhao pursed his red lips to condense the courage of a night, and asked in a soft but stubborn voice, "Do you want me to come?"

Unexpectedly, Li Qingzhao, who had always been gentle, was suddenly so direct, Yao Ruoyu was stunned, and just when he was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, Wu Xue suddenly ran back and shouted: "Brother Yao, I'm starving to death, find a place to eat!"

At this time, Yao Ruoyu really wanted to shout long live Wu Xue, resisted the urge to hug her and kiss her wildly, and said with a smile: "It's so late, where can I find food for you, and when I return to the post house, let the cook cook some food for you." ”

Wu Xue wrinkled her little nose and snorted twice dissatisfied.

Seeing Wu Xue coming over to change the topic, Li Qingzhao sighed gloomily, but he also beat his spirits and said with a smile: "I know there is a noodle restaurant on the corner, and the boss is always used to opening the door late at night, why don't I take you there?"

"No, go back to the inn and eat, or some old people will be crooked again." Wu Xue sighed, and ran back with the wind under her feet.

sent Li Qingzhao home first, and then Yao Ruoyu and the three of them walked back to the post house, Li Huan and Hu Xian did not come back, most of them lived at their master's place, only Fan Difei was sitting alone in the lobby eating noodles.

Seeing them come back, Fan Difei wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Demon, you guys came back late enough!"

"I'm going to the West Lake to see the lantern festival," Yao Ruoyu replied casually, looked left and right, and asked, "By the way, I'm going to the imperial city to pay tribute the day after tomorrow, since you're all here, let's go together?"

"Hmm, tribute?" Fan Difei shook his head desperately, and said with a smile, "What am I going to do?" Besides, I heard that Emperor Song is not yet ten years old, is it possible to kneel a little doll who is less than ten years old? Just kidding!

Wu Xue was drooling as she looked at the noodles, and said angrily: "That's it, I'm not going, Jingru is not going, we are going shopping, you can go by yourself!"

Hou Jingru was about to answer, but she smiled dumbly when she heard the words, and nodded in agreement.

Yao Ruoyu shrugged his shoulders and said casually, then went up to the second floor, and was about to go to his room, when the door of the opposite room suddenly opened, Cui Qiaoxin walked out slowly, looked at it softly with ice eyes, and said lightly: "Are you back?"

"Well, it's back. Yao Ruoyu felt that this question was strange, and subconsciously replied, and then thought that this conversation was like a husband coming home late at night and communicating with his wife.

Cui Qiaoxin smiled, took out three books and threw them over, and said indifferently: "This is what the mountain master asked me to bring to you." ”

Taking it easily, Yao Ruoyu looked at the cover and found that these were three exercises, and wondered: "Why didn't you give it to me before?"

"Forgot. With a rare playful smile, Cui Qiaoxin closed the door casually, and suddenly Yao Ruoyu's eyebrows jumped, and he turned around and went back to his room with a smile.

*——*——*——*

Back home, Li Qingzhao simply responded to the concierge's greeting, and wanted to go back to the room with great interest, but just passing by the front hall, he was stopped by his father Li Gefei.

Her father Li Gefei is thirty-seven years old this Chinese New Year's Eve, one of the disciples of Su Shi, the Ministry of Ceremonies, and one of the disciples of Su Shi, who is in a high position, but he has always been honest and honest, not greedy or bribed, but in this way, his development in the official arena has also been limited, if it were not for the identity of Su Shi's disciple, he might not even be able to do it.

Seeing his beloved daughter turn her head, Li Gefei's face was indifferent, and he said indifferently: "Didn't you go to Baidi to attend the poetry club party? Why did you come back so late? Where did you go?"

Li Gefei's family education is strict, Li Qingzhao has been in awe of this father since he was a child, and quickly explained: "Father, I didn't go anywhere else, because there is no curfew tonight, so the poetry club meeting will end when the child is almost there." ”

Twisting the long beard on his chest, Li Gefei stared at her silently, and only said slowly after a while: "After you go out today, Zhao Shangshu invites your ancestor to come and match his son." ”

"Zhao Shangshu?" Li Qingzhao was stunned, then reacted and said in astonishment, "Lord Zhao Tingzhi?"

Li Gefei bowed his head lightly and said indifferently: "Yes, his beloved son Zhao Mingcheng has just double-tenned this year, and you are almost twenty years old, and it is time to get married. ”

If it was in the past, according to Li Qingzhao's gentle and weak personality, even if he was a little wronged, he would definitely agree, but at this moment, for some reason, that man suddenly appeared in his heart, which also made Li Qingzhao inexplicably more courageous, shook his head and said: "My daughter doesn't want to." ”

"What?" I didn't expect Li Qingzhao to dare to refuse, Li Gefei was slightly stunned, and then his face sank, "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, are natural, do you dare to refuse?"

His hands were twisted together in his sleeves, although Li Qingzhao was afraid of his father's majesty, he still raised his head and looked directly at Li Gefei, and said solemnly: "Father, my daughter is unwilling!"

The phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, Li Gefei glanced at her fixedly, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, Qingzhao, you are also older, and you have your own preferences, but which family do you like? ”

never thought that Li Gefei didn't reprimand, Li Qingzhao blinked, the corners of his lips pursed, showing a little hesitation and shyness.

Seeing this, Li Gefei's heart became clearer, and he smiled lightly: "Why, can't you talk to your father?"

Li Qingzhao hesitated for a long time, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart, and he inexplicably came to a sense of courage, and whispered: "Yao Ruoyu." ”

"Yao Ruoyu?" Li Gefei frowned and thought for a moment, he didn't think of which son-in-law in Hangdu called this name, and even the high-ranking officials surnamed Yao didn't think of a few.

After being stunned for a long time, Li Gefei suddenly reacted and said in shock: "You mean Yao Ruoyu, the king of Wen in the Dawen city-state?"

"Hmm. Lowering his head, Li Qingzhao agreed in a low voice.

"Ridiculous!" phoenix eyes glared, Li Gefei said sharply, "Do you know that back then, this King Wen made trouble in Hangdu, not only killed dozens of army soldiers, but also robbed your uncle's concubines who had not passed through the door, and formed a great enmity with your ancestor?!"

"Daughter knows!" Li Qingzhao knelt down in shock, her hands and ten fingers clenched tightly, and the back of her pale hand even collapsed a few green tendons, but her voice was incredibly firm, "Back then, it was my daughter who asked the two Zhejiang Jingluo envoys to block the ancestor." ”

"I said why did Zhu Chaoqun suddenly intervene to stop it, it turned out to be because of you, bastard! Do you know that your intervention has made your master and ancestor have a big enemy for nothing? These two Zhejiang Zhu families are local wealthy families in Hangzhou, and there was originally a possibility of making friends, but because of you, they turned friends into enemies!"

Li Gefei only felt that his chest was about to explode, staring at the gentle and humble daughter in front of him, and his hands behind his back were trembling: "I don't think King Wen is a good thing, I don't say anything about making a fuss for a Qinglou piano girl, and you have the courage to dare to disobey your father?"

Taking a deep breath, Li Gefei finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "In the past few days, the King of Shu has traveled to all parties in order to get back Sichuan and Shu, and his father is still considering whether to participate, in this case, I will go to find the King of Shu tomorrow, unite all parties, and let that Yao Ruoyu hand over Sichuan and Shu." ”

"Father!" looked up in shock, Li Qingzhao's eyes were shocked, and he said in a trembling voice, "Father, please don't ......"

"There is no need to say more!" Li Gefei's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "This son's origin is unknown, he occupied Hezhou to divide the territory in the past, if it wasn't for the king of Chu to suppress the public opinion, how would his father and others agree? Now that he occupies Sichuan and Shu, but he is unwilling to return the king of Shu, he is really like a robber! How can such a traitor allow him to divide one side?" After that, he ignored Li Qingzhao's bitter pleading, and walked away directly.

*——*——*——*

Sitting in the room, Yao Ruoyu was flipping through the three exercise scriptures given by Cui Qiaoxin.

A seventh-rank princely-level exercise, and the other two are sixth-rank, Yao Ruoyu maliciously speculated, most of it was Xue Feng as Cui Qiaoxin's dowry, but to his surprise, that seventh-level exercise turned out to be the "Ice Heart Technique" that he practiced back then.

"Ice Heart Technique" is only a fifth-class exercise, and the lethality is not as good as "Heart Secret Sword", so later Yao Ruoyu no longer practiced this exercise, but he didn't expect that Fengxue Shenshan actually had a seventh-level "Ice Heart Technique".

Aside from the other two, Yao Ruoyu took this "Ice Heart Formula" and read it carefully, his Ice Waterfall Sword was born from "Ice Heart Formula", but he didn't have time to continue to deduce in the past, and finally had a seventh-class version, so he naturally didn't want to let it go.

As he flipped through the pages, Yao Ruoyu's perception of the ice spirit method also slowly increased, and in a single thought, it seemed that he could condense qi into ice at will, and even he doubted that if he understood this version of the ice heart trick thoroughly, the power of the Ice Waterfall Sword could surpass the Infinite Sword.

He was silently flipping through his feelings, when suddenly someone knocked on his door, and immediately he frowned and said coldly: "Who?"

"Wang, Wangye, it's a villain," the voice of the person in charge of the post house sounded outside the door, obviously he also heard Yao Ruoyu's anger, and his voice trembled, "There is a woman outside the post house who asks to see her, claiming to be Li Qingzhao." ”

"Qingzhao?" Yao Ruoyu was stunned, he didn't expect Li Qingzhao to suddenly visit in the middle of the night, thought about it, put away the three exercises, got up and opened the door, and asked, "What about people?"

"In the downstairs lobby. The person in charge of the post house hurriedly replied.

Yao Ruoyu went downstairs, and saw Li Qingzhao wearing a black cloak, his face was haggard, and he was no longer ruddy before the separation, and he didn't feel that his heart was cold, so he hurriedly walked up and said with concern: "Qingzhao, what's wrong?"

"Lord Wang," seeing Yao Ruoyu appear, Li Qing stood up suddenly, walked quickly to meet him, grabbed his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "You take me away, take me to Wenbang, okay?"
