"You!" the girl in black was so angry with him that she snorted coldly and left in a hurry. The white-haired old woman glanced at Li Zijin coldly and turned to leave.

The man and woman at the top of the stairs also followed. This time, the cold woman wearing the thin veil glanced at the young man in the green shirt, instead of turning a blind eye.

Li Zijin smiled and said nothing, and continued to tease the pale paper figure on his shoulder, the paper man seemed to be a little tired, just sitting on the young man's shoulder, his hands supporting the "ground", his legs hanging in the air, swaying, innocent, very childlike.

It was a pity for the young man to see the group of four leave.

It's a pity that although the skill of "listening to the voice and distinguishing the sword" is good, it is not something he can learn, not to mention whether the girl is willing to teach or not, even if the other party is willing to teach, and he is willing to learn, but if he does not work hard for more than ten years, he will never reach the current realm of the girl. If you want to learn quickly, you only learn a little bit of a star, and you are suspected of drawing a tiger and not becoming an anti-dog, not only will you not be of any help to yourself, but you will also waste time and delay your cultivation, which is not very interesting.

Looking at the girl's age, she is fifteen or sixteen, similar to her own age, and it is impossible to start practicing from her mother's womb.

And some talents, if you are born without them, it is difficult to have them.

————

The kite was taken by the old steward of the ferry, Gongsun Bo, to shrink the ground into inches, left the treasure building, and appeared in a pavilion on the top of the ferry, which was higher than the observation deck, and the word "listen to the wind" was hung on the pavilion. Basically, it is not open to the public, and only guests with extremely distinguished status can have the qualification to appear in the Tingfeng Pavilion, which can overlook the entire Kunpeng Ferry. In contrast, the observation deck below has lost a lot of color.

"Kite, what's the scenery here?" Gongsun Bo stood at the door of the Tingfeng Pavilion with his hands behind his back, his sideburns fluttering.

The girl in white was both surprised and delighted, she knew that Tingfeng Pavilion was unusual, she grew up on the ferry since she was a child, but she had never been here, but she had heard those sisters of Yingyanlou mention it.

It's not that every sister of Yingyanlou has been to this Tingfeng Pavilion, only a few of them are outstanding, and their figures are excellent, that's all, they are also versatile, they have a sweet mouth, they can coax people to talk, they have to be a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they all have to be touched, only such a sister can be looked at by a certain noble son of the road transition ship, and bring it into the Tingfeng Pavilion to increase their knowledge.

As far as she knew, there were no more than three women who had come to Tingfeng Pavilion in the entire Yingyan Tower.

So Gongsun Bo brought her here today, which actually made the girl a little flattered.

The kite gave a blessing to the old man in cloth, and said tremblingly: "The scenery of the wind pavilion is naturally very good, and the kite has heard of it before, but it is better to see it than to hear it." I don't know what the steward commands. ”

Gongsun Bo waved his hand: "Don't be polite, you girl, everything is good, but you are too rigid, your words and deeds are too restrained, and you are completely unenergetic, even if you are a half-cut person like the old man, you will not act so rigidly." ”

The kite did not speak, and quietly listened to the teachings of the old steward of the ferry.

The old man looked at her like that and laughed angrily: "What a stupid girl. ”

The girl was not upset, but squinted and smiled.

Gongsun Bo Zhengse said: "Kite, the old man has heard about the golden turtle, and knows that Li Gongzi has already sold the golden turtle to the Treasure Building, not only that, but that Li Gongzi also gave you twenty-five frost money, right?"

The girl in white turned pale, thinking that the old steward of the ferry was going to ask her to hand over the large amount of fairy money, and she was nervous and speechless.

Gongsun Bo smiled and said: "You girl, what are you panicking about! Since it was given to you by Li Gongzi, you can accept it with peace of mind, it is good for the ferry to make money, but it will not exploit you maids." ”

Kite still didn't dare to breathe, and bowed to Gongsun Bo, nodded and whispered: "Kite thanked the steward." ”

The old steward of the ferry no longer detoured, afraid that if he went around again, he would frighten a girl, but contrary to the original intention, he took a step forward and put his hand on the girl's shoulder, not for the old disrespectful old embryo to a young girl, but an elder, sincere love for the younger generation, want to make her feel at ease.

The old man looked at the girl who was at a loss and said softly: "Iris, I called you here to ask you if you want to leave the ferry and regain your freedom." ”

The kite raised her head and looked at the kind-faced old steward in a daze, she didn't expect him to say this.

Gongsun Bo felt that the girl's mood had stabilized, so he took his hand away, walked to a railing in the Tingfeng Pavilion, turned his back to the girl in white, looked into the distance by the railing, and continued: "Twenty-five frost money, not a small amount, is enough for you to settle down in any state in the world, if you run a family and don't live any arrogant and lascivious life, then this fairy money, exchanged for the gold branches and jade leaves, gold and silver of the secular dynasty, is completely enough for you to use for a lifetime." There is no talk of glory and wealth, but there is no problem with worry-free food and clothing. ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused, "The old man can be regarded as watching you grow up, you are a good girl, there were no conditions before, if you leave the ferry, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat enough and not be warm, now you have such a large amount of fairy money, you can let the birds fly in the sky, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, you can go wherever you want." There is no need to grieve yourself, continue to stay on the ferry, and be a maid who serves others. It's not a good day. ”

The old man's tone was sincere, and he suddenly spread out his palm, and a roster appeared in his palm, on which were all the maids, miscellaneous servants, and subordinates of the Kunpeng ferry. Including those Yingying Yanyan in Yingyan Tower, their names are also on this list, if there is a noble son who is willing to pay a large amount of fairy money to the ferry, they can redeem themselves, take them off the ferry, and regain their freedom.

Gongsun Bo opened the roster, found a page, and there was an extra red pen out of thin air in his other hand, he hovered the red pen behind the word "kite", and asked, "Girl, what do you think?"

As long as the girl nodded and agreed, the old housekeeper would immediately use the red pen to cross out the word "kite" on the roster, and after the ferry arrived at the Buye Mountain in Taoyao Prefecture, he would personally send the girl off the ferry, and she would not take a penny, just as she had been a maid all these years, and she had already redeemed herself.

The breeze blew on the girl's hair, and she looked at the sea of clouds, stunned. I have fantasized many times that one day I will be able to leave the ferry and no longer have to run around in the clouds.

She once served a guest from afar, and she heard from that guest that there was a bird that had no legs and could only fly until it died.

It's like being able to see the end of your life at a glance.

For as long as she can remember, she has lived on this ferry, she is curious and afraid of everything on the ground, whenever the Kunpeng ferry docks at the Xianjia ferry, the kite will always quietly run to the first floor, hide in the corner, stand on tiptoe, lie on the railing on the edge of the ferry, look at the ground, look at the pedestrians coming and going, and feel that they are not as small as when they look from the sky.

Looking from the sky to the earth, those people were like ants, dense and slow.

A wave of travelers, coming and going, walking and coming.

She has seen all kinds of people, all kinds of people, Qi refiners on the mountain, noble sons under the mountain, three religions and nine streams, mixed fish and dragons on the ferry, everyone has it.

Most people, in fact, are not like that Li Gongzi, who is upright and gentle as jade, which makes people feel at ease when they stay with him.

A lot of people ······ In fact, they are all difficult to get along with.

She is so gentle that even scolding words can only find a "difficult to get along with" to describe.

She had suffered a lot of grievances on board.

But a fatherless and motherless person like her, like duckweed, fate is like a string, what can she do if she is wronged, but she just crushes her teeth and swallows blood in her stomach, what else can she do?

If you ask her if she wants to leave the ferry.

Think.

How don't you want to?

She dreamed of it!

But it really came such a day, when the old steward of the ferry, Gongsun Bo, stood solemnly in front of the girl, with a serious face, and said conclusively that the ferry could make him free, and asked her what she thought.

In such a dreamy moment, the only feeling of the kite is that it is not real.

If you really want to say something other than unreal, it is surprise, but surprise is greater than joy.

Leaving the ferry, where is she going?

Where to live, what kind of people to meet every day, what kind of things to do.

She didn't think about this, on the ferry, she didn't have to think about it at all, she only needed to do one thing, that is, to serve the guests arranged by the ferry, and that's it.

Sleep in a small bed, eat cold meals, chat with guests, clean the room. There was nothing else to do.

Leaving the ferry, regaining her freedom, a bird landing on the ground, is it really good for her?

"Girl. Girl?" "Gongsun Bo saw that the girl had been out of her mind for a long time, and he didn't bother her for a long time, but the hour was not early, and he still had a lot of tedious affairs to deal with, so he couldn't stay here with her.

Awakened by the voice of the old butler, the girl hurriedly answered, and gave an apologetic look, "In······ Yes, yes. ”

Gongsun Bo shook his head and sighed: "You girl, is it so difficult to choose, if the old man is from your point of view, he must agree without hesitation, how wonderful the outside world is, don't you want to take a look?"

The girl in white didn't say a word.

The old man finally put away the roster and the red pen, "It's okay, there is still more than a month away from the Sleepless Mountain, you can think about it slowly, don't rush." That's all for today. ”

The girl hummed and thanked the old steward again.

Gongsun Bo waved his sleeves, and the two disappeared into the Wind Listening Pavilion again, returning to the location on the second floor of the Treasure Building.

Li Zijin actually never left from beginning to end, and stayed where he was waiting for her.

After Gongsun Bo smiled and nodded with the young man, his figure disappeared in a flash.

Li Zijin didn't ask where the girl was going, who she talked to about something, but just smiled and said, "Miss Kite, let's go shopping?"

She nodded.

His face was full of joy.
