"If you hadn't forced me to show up and send Gu poison to Xun Zhi last time, Young Master Ben wouldn't have been targeted by a group of inexplicable people, and to this day he is still staring at me like a fly, and I don't know who your good sister provoked."

Xu Xuetang's words were sharp and sharp, which was in stark contrast to his handsome and harmless face.

"It's really strange, Xun Zhi's girl has always lived in a simple place, how did she provoke these people?" The handsome face of the man in black couldn't help but show a look of worry.

"Your own sister, don't you know it yourself? Tricky and weird, on the surface, it looks simple and harmless, but in fact, it is a bad stomach, you can see the fate of those young ladies in the back house of Anfu, where is what you say is innocent and simple? Xu Xie Tang snorted lightly, Xun Shen, a stinky boy, knew to fool him all day long.

Not only that, but he is also a sister protector maniac, as long as Xu Xie Tang says a little bit that Xun Zhi is not, Xun Shen will jump up immediately as if he was poked in the thigh.

"Ah Zhi is not the kind of person you say, she has always loved her sisters and has a kind heart!" Xun Shen had a gloomy face and looked at Xu Xie Tang with a warning expression.

"Okay, your own sister, you can boast as much as you want!" Xu Xie Tang waved his hand, not planning to deal with Xun Shen.

While the two of them were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, as if someone had come to the door.

The two of them then stood up, walked out of the inner courtyard, and looked out through the openwork carved window.

"Your sister?" Xu Xie Tang looked at Xun Shen like a ghost, and scolded in his mouth, "I knew that it would be okay for you to come!" How did your sister find me? ”

Xun Shen thrust his waist, as if he was still very proud: "My sister is so smart, it's not surprising that she can find here!" ”

Xu Xie Tang glared at Xun Shen, can this person have a face?

"Okay, okay, you should hide quickly, otherwise it will be more troublesome for your sister to find out that you are here with me!" Xu Xie Tang reminded him, watched Xun Shen hide, and then tidied up his somewhat messy clothes at will, and walked out flutteringly.

"Miss Xun Zhi?"

Xun Xuan had just walked to the gate when she saw a white-clothed scholar with a handsome face and elegant temperament coming out of it.

This person, Xun Xuan had a relationship with him before, but he didn't expect to meet here.

She originally wanted to come to Xu Yifeng's mansion to take a look and see if she could check some clues related to the account books, but she didn't expect to see this person.

"Isn't Childe Xu Yifeng's son Xu Xie Tang Xu Gongzi?" Xun Xuan stepped forward with a smile and greeted her.

"Miss Xun Zhi is really smart, she can guess it, I don't know what happened to Miss Xun suddenly coming to Xu's Mansion?" Xu Xie Tang did not rush to invite Xun Xuan to sit in the house, but directly asked the other party what he meant.

"There are some questions, Ah Zhi wants to ask for an answer, so she comes." Xun Xuan didn't hide it.

Xu Xie Tang smiled and made a gesture of please sideways: "Miss Xun, please inside." ”

Because there are no domestic servants in Xu's mansion, it is empty when you walk, giving people a feeling of extreme loneliness.

However, the flowers and plants in the inner courtyard are well organized, which shows that Xu Xie Tang himself is a person who pays special attention to affection.

Although Xu's mansion is lonely, Xu Xuetang was born in an official eunuch, studied poetry and books since he was a child, and his recuperation is also excellent, and he did not neglect Xun Xuan at all because of the downfall of the mansion.

"Miss wait a moment, go down and make a pot of tea for Miss!" Xu Xie Tang greeted him humbly, picked up the teapot on the table and turned around and walked towards the back room.

The open-air courtyard is surrounded by flowers and trees, books and chessboards are placed on the stone table, and birds pass quietly overhead.

Xun Xuan looked around at everything here, and finally his eyes fell on the gauze and long sword placed on the table.

While Xun Xuan was staring at the long sword and pondering, Xu Xie Tang walked out leisurely with a teapot.

Xun Xuan stood up with a smile and took the teacup: "It's really a young man." ”

"Miss came to visit suddenly, I don't know what happened?" After Xu Xie Tang sat down, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.

"I want to ask, Poison Gu." Xun Xuan stared at Xu Xie Tang quietly and spoke lightly.

Xu Xie Tang was stunned for a moment, a moment of panic flashed across his face, it seemed that the matter of Gu poison could not be hidden, and he spoke: "That's right, An Sheng killed my father, poison Gu ...... It was the first step I used to get revenge. ”

Xun Xuan lowered her eyes, looked at the sword on the table again, and asked, "What is the relationship between Xu Gongzi and the owner of this sword?" Where is the owner of this sword? ”

Xu Xie Tang smiled, thinking that he was covering up seamlessly: "He's just a friend of mine, it's just inconvenient to show up in front of people, Miss Xun asked a little too much." ”

Xun Xuan pondered for a moment, and then said, "You said before that you wanted to cooperate with me, but it still counts?" ”

Xu Xie Tang made a move, and it seemed that Xun Xuan would suddenly say this: "If Miss changes her mind, she will naturally count at any time!" ”

"Well, I'll grant your request, provided that ...... Let me meet your friends. Her instincts told her that the man in black last night had a close connection to her and the Wuguo Mansion behind her.

She had to see that man again.

Xu Xie Tang was stunned, his eyes flickered, and he immediately said: "If the time is ripe, we will see each other." ”

Xun Xuan twisted her eyebrows, and a touch of loss passed through her heart, but a bright smile unfolded on her face at the right time, hiding all the emotions in her eyes.

I only heard Xun Xuan say lightly: "It's okay." ”

Xu Xie Tang was stunned for a moment because of the woman's smile, and came back to his senses again, but felt someone's knife-like gaze fall on him, like a man's back, he immediately coughed weakly, pretended to be unaware, and said: "Miss Xun has anything else to say?" ”

"Yes, books." Xun Xuan reminded.

Xu Xie Tang squinted his eyes, and subconsciously gave birth to a touch of vigilance in his heart, this woman is not simple, she has actually found this step.

"I really don't know." Xu Xie Tang said bluntly.

Xun Xuan twisted her eyebrows, and her beautiful eyes stared at Xu Xuetang, as if she didn't believe it.

"To tell you the truth, all parties are looking for this account book now, and all the about kidnapping and ransom has come to me for this account book, but I really don't know where this thing is, and I'm looking for it." Xu Xie Tang spread his hands, looking a little helpless.

Xun Xuan saw Xu Xie Tang say such earnest words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, this person is quite interesting to speak, presumably Xu Xie Tang also has a headache because of the account books, after all, after Xu Yifeng's death, only Xu Xie Tang was left alone, and everyone from all walks of life stared at him, which was normal.

But Xu Xie Tang is idle, in addition to reading books and playing chess all day long, all parties want to catch him again, and they are also powerless.

Xun Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, looking bright and bright.

"Next year is the triennial imperial examination, is Childe preparing for the exam?" Xun Xuan asked more.

"Yes, I used to be able to rely on the mansion to make a living, but now there is a sudden change in the family, if I don't work harder, this Xu Mansion will have to fall into the hands of outsiders sooner or later," Xu Xie Tang sighed softly, with some emotion, "After all, this is the only thing left by my father, if I can't even keep this, it will really be unfilial to my descendants." ”

"Xu Gongzi is talented and intelligent, and he will definitely be able to go to high school in one fell swoop." Xun Xuan said.

"Don't make fun of me, the imperial examination is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and there are many talented people among them. I'm just trying my luck, whether I can win or not, it still depends on God's will! Xu Xie Tang said indifferently.

"Xu Gongzi is too modest." Xu Xietang's intelligence definitely belongs to the dragon and phoenix among people, this is ...... Xun Xuan can see from the chess game placed on the table that this person has hills and valleys, and he will definitely show his ambitions when he gets to the court.

"I see that Miss Xun has been watching my chess game since Fang Nian, but she is interested in playing against me?" Xu Xie Tang was very observant and could see Xun Xuan's thoughts.

When you meet an opponent in chess, you will always want to play a game, which is the habit of chess lovers.

"That's not bad."

A game of chess was played for half an hour, but it was still difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, Xun Xuan was worried about the time when she and Fu Rongrong met in Yipinzhai, and left in a hurry before the last game of chess was finished.

As soon as Xun Xuan left with his front foot, Xun Shen's back foot rushed out of the house, angry: "Xu Xuetang! What do you mean? You know I'm hanging from a beam, but you still play chess with my sister for so long? ”

"You love to hang it, and no one stops you." Xu Xie Tang looked calm and relaxed, and he didn't seem guilty.

"You ......" Xun scratched his ears and cheeks angrily, "I warn you, stay away from my sister, she is still young!" ”

"Next year will be the age of Jilu, not young." Xu Xie Tang laughed wantonly, with a touch of ill will on his face, and the smiling Xun Shen wanted to hit him.

……

The time agreed by Xun Xuan and Fu Rongrong was in unitary time.

When Xun Xuan arrived, Fu Rongrong hadn't had time to arrive, but when she went upstairs, she collided with Zhu Ziqi, who was about to come down.

This is really a narrow road.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Xun Zhi, the first talented woman in Beijing? It's really a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and you can meet here! Zhu Ziqi came to Xun Xuan with a hippie smile.

Xun Xuan squinted at Zhu Ziqi, her eyes were full of coldness: "Zhu Gongzi, the little girl is not familiar with you, please respect yourself!" ”

"Why aren't you familiar? On the day of the poetry meeting, didn't I still have a drink with the young lady? Why did Miss Xun forget it so quickly? Zhu Ziqi stepped forward cheekily.

"Miss Xun Zhi is not only beautiful, but also very talented, Brother Zhu, your vision is really poisonous!" The fox friends and dog friends who wished Ziqi on the side cheered happily.

"Miss Xun, why don't you go into the back room, how about we sit down and have a couple of drinks?" As Zhu Ziqi spoke, he began to move his hands and feet, wanting to pull Xun Xuan's hand.

Xun Xuan quickly dodged to the side, maintaining an obvious sense of distance from Zhu Ziqi, and said sarcastically: "The twenty boards given by the emperor to the son, how did the son enjoy it?" Healed so quickly, did you forget the pain of the scar? ”
