The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was gradually getting a little darker, and the Yijian Villa in the twilight under the sunset was reflected in a layer of golden red.

Lin Manliu and the others missed the opening dinner because they were discussing things with Ye Dang, and they stayed in Yijian Villa to rest when the time was not too early.

Yue Hanzhi said that he had to follow the maid in this villa to the guest room in advance, leaving only the young man in the short shirt to wander around in the villa, passing by the main hall, I don't know if it was luck or what, suddenly someone shouted urgently and repeatedly Liu Manlin, Brother Liu, Brother Liu and so on.

"Liu Manlin... Brother Liu... Brother Liu... Yes, yes, look at me, Brother Liu, look at me."

Lin Manliu followed the sound and saw that it was Jiang Yanlin, who had entered the border of Hangzhou after meeting him in Yuezhou, and he nodded to the rich young master who came over, and before he could reply, Jiang Yanlin immediately arched his hand and said: "But let me have a good meal, why did Brother Liu disappear at the dinner, that day was the family and had no choice but to leave early, and I hope Brother Liu will forgive me."

The young man in the short shirt bowed back and said, "I don't know what you are looking for me, just now with the old man... The tutor had some important matters to discuss, so he didn't attend the dinner."

Jiang Yanlin smiled awkwardly and said with some embarrassment: "The main thing is to apologize to Brother Liu for what happened in the Yuezhou Post Station that day, after participating in Yingzhuang today, I will leave for home tomorrow to obey the arrangement, this time I originally wanted to escape, but there was a letter at home and I had to obey the order."

Lin Manliu patted the rich boy in front of him, who was as tall as himself, who might only be a little older than himself, and said with a smile: "There is no need to apologize, if you don't fight, you won't know each other, and we won't go together for a while."

Jiang Yanlin nodded in response, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he said again: "I don't know when I will meet Brother Liu again, if he can see him again, I hope to be able to drink and talk to Brother Liu."

"Definitely".

"Brother Liu said goodbye, and Yan Lin rushed back to Yuezhou with the guards at home."

The two of them said goodbye to each other, but in the end, the name of this rich boy brother made the short-shirted boy a little confused, when did he become so familiar with him?

After separating from Jiang Yanlin, Lin Manliu wandered leisurely in the garden of the villa for a while, and saw a pavilion in a quiet place surrounded by a flower garden, in which a purple dress was playing chess alone.

The young man in the short shirt only looked at it for a while and was asked by the man: "Manliu little brother, is there anything to discuss, if you have nothing to do, you can enter the pavilion to watch chess", listening to the voice, I heard that it was Mr. Mo Wuyan who saw in the flower bed that day.

Lin Manliu walked around the flower garden to the edge of the pavilion and said to Mo Wu, bowed and said, "I've seen Mr. Mo, but I can't play chess... I may not be able to appreciate the strength of the chess with my husband."

"It doesn't matter, I'll explain it to you one by one, you and enter the pavilion with me, this game has become what I call the tiger and the wolf, the opening white chess is on the left, and the black chess will take the lead in winning a large piece of the field, and the first forty hands are all black chess winners..... However, in the good situation, white made a clever move, and all the blacks were collected, like a tiger and wolf entering the account, directly opening the deadlock: "For most of the hour, Mo Wuyan was in accordance with his previous falls, one by one, for the teenagers, what does it mean to land."

Under Mo Wuyan's narration, the young man in the short shirt was a little dazed and really couldn't understand this, and when he drank tea and breathed, he found a reason to say that he was going to find his master, Ye Dang listened and left, and if he didn't leave, he might be caught by Mr. Mo until it was dark.

Mr. Mo saw that the young man didn't want to stay longer, so he sighed, waved his hand and let the young man leave, Lin Manliu quickly stayed away from this chess game in the pavilion as if he was amnesty, but this villa was really big, and the young man in the short shirt had to find three handmaidens and servants on the side of the road before he found the guest room where he stayed.

was led to the door of the small courtyard of the guest room, and after looking at it, he found that it was much bigger than the courtyard of Ye Dangting, and the flowers and plants outside the courtyard were much more prosperous than the one that was prosperous, and it was obvious that they had been carefully taken care of around the opening of the village in the past few days.

Lin Manliu pushed the door in, there was a wing room in front of him and on the right side, the door was closed and the light was naturally Yue Hanzhi's room, and the door of the house next door was his own room without any lights, followed by a voice from the room opposite: "Have you come back after shopping in Zhuangzi?" Are you happy with where you'll live in the future? ”。

"Well, I saw Jiang Yanlin and Mr. Mo who met in Yuezhou, and I was caught by Mr. Mo and watched the chess game deduction for a while, but I don't know how long it will take to return here after returning to southern Xinjiang" The short-shirted young man in the courtyard replied, walking around at random from time to time and looking at the things around him.

Yue Hanzhi in the house noticed the short-shirted young man pacing in the courtyard, pondered for a moment and said: "Don't you go to see your own house, it is estimated that you will have to stay for a few more days in the future, in case there is anything to prepare, it is good to tell someone today."

Lin Manliu answered and walked towards his room, still looking at the young man who was making beds, tables and chairs in the house, and suddenly looked at the courtyard and found a woman in blue who was about to walk outside the courtyard, and then asked, "What's wrong with Miss Yue, do you want to get something?" ”。

"I'm a little hungry, I'm going to find someone to ask for some food, do you want it?" a reluctant voice squeezed out of the mouth of Yue Hanzhi under the hood.

The short-shirted boy naturally had no doubts about such an answer, and turned to continue to look into his room.

It didn't take long to hear the sound of the courtyard door opening, and Yue Hanzhi walked in with a food box, and directly entered Lin Manliu's house.

"I dragged down the people to find some food and pastries that were not used for the dinner party, and I ate some casually, I have been busy everywhere in this villa all day today, and I have never rested," said the woman in blue and took off her hat casually, it seemed that only when the two of them were alone Lin Manliu had the opportunity to see the moon cold branch that took off the veil of the hat.

The young man in the short shirt greeted him and helped to put the food and pastries in the food box, some spring snacks and melons and fruits, and there was a pastry on the side of the dishes Lin Manliu knew, it was a golden soufflé that he wanted to buy in Juzhou but was hit by Qiao Yunnian.

"Can you buy this here, Miss Yue, I told you that I wanted to buy this when I was in Juzhou, but I was broken by a little kid in the back......" The short-shirted boy said with a happy smile, wanting to share the story of his encounter with the Qiao family sister and brother to the woman in blue in front of him who had not been with him for a long time or too short.

"Well, you say I'm listening..."Yue Hanzhi just answered and picked up the food on the plate with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, but he didn't eat the plate of golden soufflé.

Lin Manliu talked about the people and things he had encountered, and when he said that he was happy, he grabbed a piece of golden soufflé and went to do one of the things in the story, and then bit into his mouth and continued to tell the stories that belonged to him while eating.

In this way, a long time passed, Lin Manliu bought the golden soufflé from Juzhou as a starting point, and told all the things about the long journey before he met the moon cold branch, whether it was before or after Juzhou, and when the story was finished, the golden soufflé on the plate was actually eaten by the short-shirted boy.

He reacted and smiled awkwardly and said, "Girl Yue, I didn't pay attention to finish eating ......"

"It's okay, eat it if you like, by the way, when is your birthday, I really don't want to go, it's better to think of it as a pastry to make at home on your birthday" Yue Hanzhi chopsticks were still fiddling with the side dishes in the dishes, and said casually.

"At the end of February, just after the fifteenth day of this year, I happened to meet the master who was learning sword from the master...... I didn't think about it at the time," the short-shirted boy thought about for a while.

I saw that Yue Hanzhi's right hand holding the chopsticks was slightly stunned, and he almost didn't hold the chopsticks in his hand, and hurriedly clenched them. She looked at Lin Manliu with a little disbelief in her eyes, and then said word by word: "Then it should be your birthday next year, you will be sixteen after eating these golden soufflés, you know, you will be seventeen next year...".

Lin Manliu was a little dazed at first after hearing the news, and then looked at Yue Hanzhi, who had a serious expression, nodded and said, "Hmm... Seventeen ...... next year".

The follow-up two talked and laughed until late at night, the moonlight sprinkled into the courtyard, Yue Hanzhi looked at the little moonlight through the window edge into the house, said that it was not too early to get up and walk to his room, and after turning around, he also told the short-shirted boy to rest early.

There was nothing to say all night, only the sound of cicadas chirping from time to time was left in the quiet courtyard, the young man finally had time to leave all his worries behind and fall asleep after a busy day, and the plates on the table were just placed randomly where to get up early tomorrow and clean up.

And the breeze blew into the courtyard in the early morning of the second day, the plates and food boxes on the table were gone, the door of the next room was only slightly covered, and Lin Manliu was still sleeping on the bed with his head covered at this time.
