"Father, mother:

"The child's letter is because rumors are spreading in Lin'an City, all saying that Lord Junli, who has recently become the master of Heizhu, has a great relationship with Xiajiazhuang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Jianghu friends come to inquire, the child doesn't know how to respond, and he is eager for his father and mother to tell the truth.

"Although the child and Lord Junli only have a one-sided relationship, but I believe that he is chivalrous, and I have always had the desire to make friends in my heart, but it is inconvenient to communicate with the Black Bamboo Society, and I follow the teachings of my father and mother to stay away from the inner city, which is always a rare opportunity. About 20 days ago, Shen Fengming's son suddenly visited, and was entrusted by Lord Jun Li to come to the city gate. Shen Gongzi is an old friend of Zhuangzhong, I left him to stay for two days, and I heard him mention that the Black Bamboo Society now has a new base located in the South City Zhongxiao Fang near the 'Drunken Pavilion', the child thought about it, made his own opinion, prepared a gift, and went to a drunken Pavilion on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival to visit, but unfortunately Lord Junli went out of the city because of business, and could not be seen.

"I sent someone to inquire from time to time, and a few days later, I learned that he had returned to Beijing and was about to make another plan, but the news came early the next morning - Lord Junli had returned this time and had changed his name to 'Xia Yan', and he had returned to the world. Deputy Manager Li invited himself to go to investigate, and when he came back, he said that this matter was undoubtedly true - he also met with Master 'Xia Yan' in a drunken pavilion. When the child heard this, he hurried to Nancheng, but regretted that he missed it again.

The child felt deeply stupid, and on the way home, he passed by the Wang Ji Teahouse, and then went in to sit down for a while. How do you know that the rumors of the teahouse are very much, this time I heard the ears full of wind and shadows, everyone is cloudy'Xia Yan' was originally a descendant of my Xia family, if you speculate with the word 'Yan', it should be a child's peers. Xie and Fang, the two uncles, were also in the teahouse, and when they saw me, the eldest son of the Xie family came to ask, attracting the whole floor to look around me. The child was panicked for a while, so he could only say that he didn't know and escaped.

"Lord Jun Li changed his name to Xia, although the child felt strange in his heart, he guessed that it was mostly accidental, or out of his good impression of his father and the Xia family, and he never thought about it deeply. After coming back, he hurriedly asked Uncle Zhuang Lishang and Uncle Wan for advice, but they didn't know either. A few days later, the child went to visit his uncle. Several uncles are from the same clan as Xiajiazhuang, but they have always had few contacts, and their attitudes are very cold, and they all assert that their families have nothing to do with Lord Junli, and there is a disgust in their words. The child thought in his heart, firstly, the reputation of the Black Bamboo Society is not very innocent, and no one wants to be involved with it, and secondly, it may also confirm that this matter is groundless, otherwise, several uncles and seniors will not be so decisive and contemptuous.

Since it was a rumor, the child only said that the matter would gradually subside, and he no longer cared. Unexpectedly, three or four days passed, but the rumors intensified, and it actually caused the Dongshui League to send people to ask - yesterday, two people brought the flag of the Dongshui League, saying that they came to pass the word on the order of the alliance leader, saying that Xiajiazhuang was originally known as the first village in the south of the Yangtze River, and it should be the example of the righteous martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River, if the people of my Xia family actually went to be the leader of the Black Bamboo Society, then even if the alliance leader did not remove Xiajiazhuang from the Dongshui League, he must not recognize the title and reputation of our 'first village'. The child is really annoyed, don't say that there is no real evidence for this matter, even if 'Xia Yan' is really related to the Xia family, this article alone will erase all the blood and sweat of Xiajiazhuang for the formation of this alliance by the families in Jiangnan in the past, and erase the tolerance and generosity of the grandfather to give up the leader of the alliance, which is inevitably crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, ruthless and unjust. It's just that the child is clumsy, embarrassed and anxious, and he didn't argue about the law, but fortunately, Wei Shibo and Xie Shibo, who came with him, said a lot of good things before persuading the envoy of the Dongshui Alliance to leave.

"I left two uncles to eat at home, and I heard that the Black Bamboo Club had released a message in the past two days, asking people in the rivers and lakes not to fight the idea of Xiajiazhuang. Although I would like to believe in Lord Jun Li out of good intentions, but when he said this at this time, it was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, no wonder Lin'an was boiling, and even the Dongshui Alliance leader who was far away in Jiankang was alarmed. As soon as I sent the two Shibo away, I prepared my horse and prepared to go to the Yidrunken Pavilion, and I had to meet Lord Jun Li in front of him no matter what, and I wanted to explain the matter clearly to him.

When he was about to go out, someone came to the drunken pavilion - he didn't come himself, but he called the sister of the Shan family to come. My sister said, "Lord Jun Li heard that the people from the Dongshui League had come, and asked me if they had been in trouble and what happened to them." I knew in my heart that although the sister of the Shan family was not a member of the Black Bamboo Society, she was more important than anyone else, but I was excited at that time, so I asked him what to do with him - if he really had something to do with him, why didn't he come in person, did he know that we Xiajiazhuang is now only a young man like me in charge, and there are not many masters around, so they also looked down on me;

The child originally intended to ask her if the rumors outside were true or false, but Sister Shan refused to answer directly, only saying that there was one thing that was true - Lord Jun Li didn't want to cause any damage to Xia Jiazhuang, and this matter was true. She also said that from this point of view, it is not Lord Junli or the Black Bamboo Society who look down on Xiajiazhuang, but precisely the Dongshui League and Jiangnan Wulin. The child was difficult to answer for a while, so it may not be wrong to say: If it was changed before, the father was still here, the master in the village was like a cloud, and the Dongshui League had always been respectful, how could he dare to bully the door? Since the Dongshui League is so snobbish and betrayal, then this alliance should not be wanted, and what is to blame for others?

Sister Shan also said that Master Jun Li knew that I had gone to look for him twice, and he was very sorry for the inconvenience of meeting me, so he asked her to come and give him a jade pendant as a gift. I saw that the jade was of high quality and worth a lot of money, of course I refused to accept it, but my sister said that this jade was flawed in its details, and it was difficult to be a heavy gold, but it was just a heart, and seeing the jade was like seeing him. She insisted on giving the jade pendant, but in desperation, the child had to give her the jade back with her. My sister refused to accept it at first, but I said that if she didn't accept it, I would go to a drunken pavilion and find Lord Junli in person. She seemed to be very jealous of this, so she accepted it.

"Uncle Shang and Uncle Wan later learned that the child was good, and said that he went out to find someone to make it clear that he had nothing to do with Xiajiazhuang and the Black Bamboo Society. What's more, the child's piece of peiyu was an important basis left by his father before leaving, how could he be so hot-headed and rashly give it to an outsider with an unknown purpose. The child didn't know if this move was really too hasty, but when he thought of the ruthlessness of the Dongshui Alliance and the various evil words in the market that didn't concern him, he felt a little bit in his heart that the so-called chivalrous allies and the so-called harmless spectators seemed to be inferior to the notorious Black Bamboo Society.

"Father, mother, the child is in a hurry to pick up the pen, unable to reach the meaning, in fact, the heart is actually uneasy, for a while Lord Jun Li is still full of suspicion, ashamed of being weak and credulous, but for a while he remembers that his father has also given him the sword spike that never leaves him, and he has saved his father's life. Whether he is related to our Xia family or not, this relationship is already there. I have already asked all the uncles of my family, and I beg my father and mother to answer the rest and give me a definite explanation.

"The child knows that there are many things in the village this year. The parents traveled to Lingnan, and the eldest brother defected to the prince - one more incident, and it was no longer a novelty, and the father and mother really didn't have to scruple anymore. Even, after careful consideration of the bottom of my heart, the child faintly hoped that the rumors were true, and if he could give me a brother again, it would be better than nothing.

"The book is presented to Lord Xia Yifeng and Mrs. Taiqi:

"Seeing words is like meeting.

"The summer in Jiangnan is short, and the night is deep in autumn. Above the Lin'an Market, I have seen the long coat and the high garment, and the jacket is lain. Today's west wind, the mullion window can not seal the early cold, get up in the morning to add clothes, suddenly envy the spring and summer of Meizhou, think that the two elders in Lingnan although it is difficult to see the hometown of the boundless falling trees, the Yangtze River, but also far away from the severe cold and frost, and I can't ask for it.

"The younger generation is clumsy and dull-mouthed, since returning to Beijing, he has been caught in the trouble of public and private affairs, the beginning and the end are difficult to take care of, and the inner city occasionally hears the report of the adult from Meizhou, but he knows that the adult is fine, more and more lazy, and has not had contact with the second elder for a long time. However, the marriage period was initially set, and I didn't dare to forget the concern of the second old Meizhou for several months, so I put pen to paper.

"The younger generation was originally idle outside the party, and did not understand the world's feelings; the only daughter of the single family in the tattoo Qinglong Valley, before meeting the younger generation, she had already signed a marriage contract with Xiajiazhuang. The world is changing, even if you read through the classics and know the stars, it is difficult to predict what will happen - and even, Mrs. Xia taught me and the two of us the experience of preaching and learning and gossip swordsmanship, at that time, I was afraid that I and she would be born on their own, and they would never part with each other again.

"Unknown - adults and ladies are here, but there will be unhappiness, depression, and dislike. However, the past is insignificant, and the future is difficult to follow. What is held in the hand, and what is clear in the heart, is only the present and the present.

"The date of the wedding was originally planned to be two months later, on the twenty-sixth day of October. If the mediation of all parties goes smoothly, it should be known to the outside world. The mountain is high and the road is far away, and it is difficult for the younger two to come to the door in person, and then kneel down to thank the two elders for their kindness, only through this book, talk about reminiscences, talk about sending unforgettable.

"Don't think of the book as a reply. Cherish it and look forward to it.

The letters are on the table. At the table, Xia Zheng and Chen Rongrong sat on the left and right, as if they were sitting on both sides of a holy decree in Lin'an's home.

But it was Lingnan noon in September. The sunlight was as bright as early summer, revealing the fine dust of the house and waking up the silence of the room.
