Zhao Shuo left like this, leaving Xia Yu alone. She is used to being alone, so she doesn't feel anything, if something big hadn't happened, Zhao Shuo wouldn't have left her like this.

Walking on the street that was not as lively as looking for the sun, Xia Yushen walked to the door of the shop.

"Here. Is it an inn? She asked.

The busy guests just glanced at her, and then treated her as if she was air.

Xia Yu pursed his lips, put his hands behind his back, and walked in slowly. It's still being renovated, and a woman dressed in an extremely glamorous way is calling people to do this and that, so she's not busy.

She looked around, frowning slightly, and glanced at the dense red thread on the top. On the red line, a bell hangs at intervals. What does this do? Why the decoration here. So weird?

"This son, this place hasn't opened yet, and you're here early." The bewitching woman walked over with a charming waist swinging.

Xia Yu tilted his head and looked her up and down, "It's not a serious business here, I'll take a look first." Is there something wrong? ”

The woman was obviously stunned, "Childe doesn't like to hear this, what does it mean to not be a businessman?" Aren't we all making a living for one breath and one life? What is serious or not. ”

"Our relatives have several brothels in Qinglou, do you think I'm blind? This style, at a glance, is a big deal. "Xia Yu pretends to be old, and she is not good at anything else, she is a frequent customer of this Qinglou gambling house. Something that could hide from her eyes.

"It turned out to be a peer." The woman sneered. Upward-looking.

Xia Yu shook his head, "Our family." But there is no such livelihood. ”

"That boy will come to Japan, but he should take care of it more. We are new to the city, and we are not familiar with the place. The woman's face changed very quickly, and in an instant, she smiled seductively and saluted shallowly.

"If you girls here, if they are all out of the water, and still use the master to take care of them? I'm afraid that in the coming day, the master will have to beg you to find a beautiful girl to serve. Xia Yu turned around, "It's very good." ”

The woman bowed her head, "Thank you for the praise." ”

"What's your name here?" She asked.

The woman shook her head. "I haven't thought about it yet."

Xia Yu slandered in his heart: The signboards are all ready, and he said that he didn't think about it, who are he fooling? On his face, he still maintained the appearance of a hanger, "When will it open?" ”

"In two days." The woman replied.

"Then I wish you a prosperous business in advance." Xia Yu turned around and walked out.

"I haven't asked yet, my son's surname." The woman asked.

Xia Yu paused, "My surname is Xia." ”

"Xia Gongzi!" The woman took out a bell from her sleeve, and the tassel underneath was brightly colored, exactly like the bell tied on the red thread. It's just that this one is tied with a tassel, which is extraordinarily small and exquisite, and very cute.

"What is this for?" Xia Yu was puzzled.

The woman said, "The right is to leave a souvenir, and the prince of Xia will come in the future, with this." can give the son priority. ”

Xia Yu smiled, "You can do business." I don't know what you call it? ”

"Everyone calls me Sakura Niang." Woman salutes.

"Okay, I'll come back when you open." Xia Yu put down the bell, glanced at the red line and bell on the top again, and then walked out of the door.

Behind her, Sakura Niang was still smiling, her eyes slightly cold. Looking up at the red thread and bell on the top, the smile on his lips became more and more intense. exhaled a shallow breath, and a trace of treacherous coldness slowly spread on his thick face.

Bell?

Xia Yu was playing with the bell, and Luo Hua was already waiting at the back door of Rui Wang's Mansion.

"Is you back?" Xia Yu asked.

Luo Hua bowed, "I don't seem to be very happy." ”

Xia Yu nodded.

"Childe, what are you doing with the bell?" Luo Hua remembered that last time, she gave one to herself, could it be that this was given to Xunmei. Although she knew that Xia Yu was a woman, she still felt that calling Xia Yu a son would make her heart feel more comfortable.

Xia Yu naturally followed her, anyway, she didn't like her daughter's outfit.

"Someone sent it." Xia Yu touched the tassel on the bell, "Luohua, this tassel is really good-looking, will you?" ”

Luo Hua took it, and the two watched as they walked.

After a long time, Luo Hua shook her head, "Childe, where are you from?" This doesn't seem to be the silk thread of our capital. I also went to the embroidery village to get a job, but I don't seem to have touched this kind of silk thread. ”

Xia Yu frowned, "The things in the capital are not local?" ”

"Not really." Luo Hua pursed her lips, "Xu is foreign." I haven't left the capital, so I don't know much. ”

"Is that some kind of Sichuan embroidery, Hunan embroidery and other customary silk threads?" Xia Yu asked.

Luo Hua touched the excellent ring knot on the top, "I'm not sure about it, this red line is definitely not." You smell it, there is still a smell on it, not at all like the silk thread we commonly use. ”

Xia Yu naturally doesn't understand, where can she be a needle girl.

But speaking of this knot - Xia Yu's fingertips gently touched the buckle on the top, and the knot was really strong, "How do you embroider the buckles?" ”

Luo Hua took out a silk thread from her small bag and immediately called Xia Yu to show it, "There are many kinds of ring deductions, and the one on this bell should be the most common auspicious knot." But I don't understand the tasseled clasp at the end. ”

"Well, I know." Xia Yu frowned, "It's just weird." ”

"What's weird?" Luo Hua asked.

Xia Yu shook his head and smiled, "It's okay." Shaking the bell in his hand, Xia Yu had some doubts in his heart, but he couldn't find an answer.

poked his head out of the study door, and Zhao Shuo's familiar voice came from inside, "It's sneaky, just get in." ”

She pursed her lips and walked slowly inside.

"Something?" He threw one of the letters in his hand into the brazier, and then looked up at her.

Xia Yu nodded, "Master, can you help me write three words?" ”

Zhao Shuo raised his eyebrows, "Which three words?" ”

"You help me write, it's all over the building." Xia Yu pursed his lips, his eyes were like a crescent moon, and he looked at him with a smile.

"Okay." He didn't ask, "Come here." ”

Grinding, writing.

His hand wrapped around her pen hand, and taught her to write on the white paper stroke by stroke. Her hands trembled a little, and she was beautiful because she didn't hold the pen easily. Unlike ordinary women, if they are literate, the fingers of their right hand must be a little deformed and bent. She doesn't hold a pen or play the piano, so there are no stiff calluses on her knuckles and fingertips.

Her hands are used to shake the dice, out of the thousands.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain excellent flexibility, without the slightest barb on the fingertips, smooth and delicate, and slender as jade.

Zhao Shuo's palm was very warm, coming from the back of her hand and instantly spreading to her whole body. So much so that she felt that a thin sweat was oozing slightly on her forehead. His breathing lingered in her ears, clutching the collar faintly, tickling, making her a little nervous.

Xia Yu pursed her lips, her cheeks slightly hot.

The moment he put down the pen, he took advantage of the situation and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "Why do you suddenly write these three words?" ”

"I'm afraid that if I leave my hometown for too long, I will forget." She prevaricated.

He smiled, turned her body over, and looked at him with his own, "Truth? ”

She shook her head, "Lie." ”

Zhao Shuo pinched her soft cheeks, "Stupid." ”

"You don't believe me?" Xia Yu raised her eyebrows.

Zhao Shuo slowly walked towards the chessboard in the window, "Letter." ”

"Then you don't ask?" She frowned and followed.

"You've said it all, it's a lie, so what else do I ask?" Zhao Shuo sat still, glanced at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and didn't bother to look at her, "If you don't want to say it, you are a good person, and you never do things that are difficult for strong people." ”

She pouted, "It's better to say than to sing." Staring at the sunspot in front of him, Xia Yu suddenly became interested, "Master, why don't you teach me to play chess?" ”

He was stunned, "Want to learn?" ”

Xia Yu nodded, "Hmm." ”

Zhao Shuo felt that the thing he regretted the most in his life was to teach a scoundrel who had no talent at all and no chess skills to play chess. So, from then on, she ran to his study when she had nothing to do.

There is always the cry of summer rain from inside.

"Zhao Laojiu, you said that you would let me have ten sons, why don't you keep your promises?"

“……”

"Zhao Laojiu, this piece is mine, you are not allowed to eat this piece."

“……”

"Wait a minute, take your chess pieces back, I won't go here, I'll go somewhere else."

“……”

"Zhao Laojiu, why did you win again? If you come back to another game, I won't believe it, I can't win you. ”

“……”

It's a vicious circle.

————————————

Warm hibiscus pool.

Can you imagine what the picture of the high-flying Rui Wangye, playing with his own servants in the water? The two squatted at the bottom of the water, staring at each other with big eyes, each pinching each other's mouth and nose. The tiny bubbles bubbled up, and no one refused to let go first.

The water nature of Xia Yu was taught by Huzi, and it was not as good as Zhao Shuo.

In the end, it was Zhao Shuo who fished her out of the water directly, just like when they first met.

The water surface turned over a huge splash, Xia Yu Xu choked on the water, coughed a few times, and quickly wrapped his arms around Zhao Shuo's neck. The back is pressed against the wall of the pool, the water is rippling, and the eyes are full of white mist. In the white mist, the peerless man was close at hand.

His hands clasped tightly around her waist, and he looked down condescendingly at the woman in his arms.

Wet hair, sticking to the face. Beads of water continued to roll down her cheeks, condensing a charming glare on her eyelashes.

He lowered his head and couldn't help but kiss her on the lips.

No one spoke, just delivered to each other.

Last time he was here, he was holding back, but this time, he should make amends. The thin clothes have long been soaked, and now they are more and more provocative. The bodies are close to each other, ironing the temperature that belongs to each other.

Xia Yu's hand climbed on his back, allowing him to rage and rampage. The water is shining, and it is the right time.

It wasn't until he stopped that she collapsed weakly in his arms, and he carried her to the soft couch.

Warm bath with just the right temperature.

He lay on the soft couch, and she nestled in his arms, less noisy, and extremely quiet.

After a long time, she came to her senses before she climbed on his body and whispered, "Master, where has Li Huan gone?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo glanced at her with disgust, "Miss him?" ”

Xia Yu pursed his lips, "Yes, yes, I want to die." Hurry up and give me back the dog legs, or I want you to look good. ”

"Lee what?" Zhao Shuo frowned and looked at her, "Li doglegs? ”

"I-" She paused and rolled her eyes, "I didn't say anything. ”

"He went to Dayzhou." Zhao Shuo stared at her and suddenly spoke.

Xia Yu was stunned, "What are you going to do in Daizhou?" ”

Zhao Shuo's eyes were slightly sick, and he reached out and pressed her raised head to his chest, his eyes cold. Between the teeth, there were only two cold words, "Save your life!" ”

Survival?

Whose life is to be saved?

What kind of life does Li Huan want to go in person? Li Huan is Zhao Shuo's confidant, the most caring person, and the one who can dispatch Li Huan to protect must be no ordinary person.

For some reason, Xia Yu suddenly didn't dare to ask, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart. One, unspeakable trepidation.

He pressed her head in his arms, and she could only hear the heartbeat that belonged to him, calmly and orderly, not for anything or anyone, and more than half a point of confusion.
