Volume 1 The first foray into the rivers and lakes Chapter 25 is nowhere to be seen
Leaving the Caidie Boat as if fleeing, Xu Zhaonan quickly caught up with Huo Chunlei and the others who had not gone far ahead.
"Sister Xiangdie, I'll send Second Brother Huo back, I still don't bother you. ”
Xu Zhaonan said politely to Xiangdie.
Xiangdie looked at Huo Chunlei, who was still a little weak, and was not very relieved, after all, he knew the identity of this master, and he offended him today, I am afraid that Caidiefang's future business will be a little difficult.
As everyone knows, Huo Chunlei didn't think about it so much at all, it was normal for him to be jealous for a beauty on Fengyue occasions, but today he kicked the iron plate, and he can only blame himself for his inferior skills, and there is no reason to blame other people's stores.
Pulling his arm out of Xiangdie's arms, Huo Chunlei waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you go back, Brother Xu will accompany me." ”
Hearing him say this, Xiangdie had no choice but to give up, and said goodbye to the two of them.
After Xiangdie left, Huo Chunlei shook his fist and hammered Xu Zhaonan's solid chest, and said: "I only knew that Brother Xu was strong in martial arts at a young age, but he never had the opportunity to see your skills, but when I saw it today, I was able to fight on an equal footing with the second-grade master, amazing!"
Xu Zhaonan was a little embarrassed and explained: "Second Brother Huo has a good reputation, when I started to shoot, that Brother Guan was able to stop me with only one broken railing, which is enough to show that my skills are beyond my reach, and then he has a gun in his hand, so I don't dare to fight with him." ”
There is another sentence, Xu Zhaonan did not say it, if he sacrificed the deep love behind his back, I am afraid that even the white Jiao of Guan Shang will not be able to resist the power of the sword, but after all, he still has to rely on the advantage of the blade, and he will not be able to win.
"Hahahaha, my brother was still persuading me yesterday, but don't let others have the ambition to destroy your own prestige!"
Huo Chunlei smiled heroically, his brother Xu is good anywhere, he has entered the ranks of third-grade masters at a young age, and today he can still fight hard with second-grade masters without falling behind, and it should be a high-spirited time to have such a cultivation at such an age, but this temperament is a little too humble, and he doesn't look like a young man at all.
Xu Zhaonan said: "Second Brother Huo taught a lesson. ”
"Hey!"
Huo Chunlei waved his hand and said: "It's not a lesson for you, if I have a cultivation like you, it will definitely be crazy, and I don't know how many disasters will be caused, so I still have to learn more from you, hahahaha......"
Xu Zhaonan didn't know what to say, so he had to smile with him.
Huo Chunlei stared at him up and down for a moment, and said with an ambiguous expression: "Brother Xu just stayed in the Colorful Butterfly Boat, what did he say to the female owner?"
Xu Zhaonan's mind suddenly appeared in Miss Kong's amorous slender figure, a little red, and said vaguely: "I didn't say anything, I just asked her about the specific compensation of Caidiefang." ”
"It's all a little thing, and tomorrow I'll ask the servants in the house to send them the money......"
After a pause, Huo Chunlei had a look on his face, stared at Xu Zhaonan and raised his eyebrows: "I've been talking about these things for so long?"
"Uh......"
Xu Zhaonan said with some embarrassment: "Miss Kong originally said that she only needed one or two pieces of silver, but I came out in a hurry, and I didn't even bring one or two pieces of silver with me, so I had to tell her to send the money tomorrow." ”
"A tael of silver?"
Huo Chunlei's face was even more ridiculous, and he said jokingly: "That Miss Kong has taken a fancy to you, no wonder, my brother is so young and promising, which girl will not like it when he sees it?"
Thinking of the scene that happened just now, he was actually forced to lose his sense of proportion by a little girl, Xu Zhaonan's face suddenly turned red with shame, and he said: "I met Miss Kong for the first time, how could it be like what you said, maybe it was because Second Brother Huo was usually generous, but today he was injured by them, and he was worried about doing this." ”
Huo Chunlei thought about it, and what he said also made some sense, which can be seen from the panicked appearance of Xiangdie just now, but this colorful butterfly boat itself often comes over, and it is the first time to see this Miss Kong, but in a hurry, he can also see that the owner behind this colorful butterfly boat is not very human, and the probability of this kind of thing happening at first sight is not very large.
However, Huo Chunlei was deliberately ridiculing, and it was a little funny to see Xu Zhaonan's embarrassed appearance, so he didn't take it to heart, and said casually: "Since she said one or two silver, then one or two silver, I'll ask the servants to send it to them tomorrow." ”
"Second Brother Huo. ”
Xu Zhaonan hesitated a little and said, "I made an appointment with Miss Kong to send it tomorrow...... I'd better go myself......"
After speaking, Xu Zhaonan also felt that this was a bit of a suspicion of wanting to cover up, but this is the case, if you want to blame yourself, you can only blame yourself for being penniless, but you have to slap your swollen face and become fat.
You still have to eat the bitter fruit you plant.
"Hahahaha......"
Huo Chunlei let out a long laugh and didn't say anything more, but there was endless ambiguity in that laughter.
Raising his hand to wrap his arm around Xu Zhaonan's shoulder, the two walked towards Yijian Pavilion in the moonlight.
The words are divided into two ends.
But it was said that Xiangdie said goodbye to Xu Zhaonan and the others, and after returning to Caidiefang, she saw Miss Kong standing in place waiting for her, and she bowed and said, "Young master, they have gone back." ”
"Hmm. ”
Miss Kong's demeanor did not see the coquettish color of Fang Cai, which made people feel a sense of majesty, this feeling must be slowly cultivated by people who have been in a high position for a long time, I saw her whisper: "Tomorrow I will go south, but I can't be preempted by that thief." ”
Xiangdie said: "Xiangdie knows, the young master can go with confidence, and Xiangdie has already ordered Xiangdie to notify the dots along the way." ”
Miss Kong nodded, as if she remembered something, and chuckled: "That nerd will send a tael of silver tomorrow, and you will send it away when the time comes." ”
"What nerd?"
Xiangdie asked puzzled, naturally she didn't know what happened after she helped Huo Chunlei leave, and she was a little confused.
Miss Kong chuckled and said what had just happened, causing Xiangdie to laugh and say, "That's really a nerd, I didn't expect that there would be such a character next to the second son of the Huo family, I thought they were all wine-colored people." ”
Miss Kong didn't know what fun things she thought of again, and she laughed along, and for a while, bursts of pleasant laughter came from the colorful butterfly boat, and the people in the painting boat around her looked sideways, but they couldn't see anything.
............
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Zhaonan, who was meditating on his knees, followed the practice method recorded in the Liuhe Sword Technique, and after running the internal force in the body for several weeks, he received the exercises, and immediately felt that the whole person was refreshed.
got up and got out of bed, woke up Xiaobai, who was still asleep, and after playing, pushed the door out, this time naturally remembered to stuff enough silver taels into his arms.
Following the memory, he walked towards the courtyard where Huo Chunlei lived.
Along the way, most of the servants who came and went also knew that this distinguished guest was personally invited into the mansion by his second son yesterday, and after bowing and saluting, he did not stop him.
When he came to Huo Chunlei's courtyard, he heard bursts of shouting and cheering from inside.
Xu Zhaonan said with a smile: "Second Brother Huo has already started practicing, he really got up early." ”
He didn't say that he had already gotten up and used his internal strength for a few weeks before going out.
When Huo Chunlei saw him coming, he immediately stopped his movements, and said with a smile: "I was still stimulated by Brother Xu, after I came back yesterday, I felt that I was really too lazy before, and I hope it's too late to step up my practice now." ”
Xu Zhaonan encouraged: "Second Brother Huo's qualifications are already good, if you pay close attention to practicing now, you will definitely be able to enter the ranks of the third-grade masters as soon as possible." ”
"I know my own business, so you don't have to comfort me. ”
Huo Chunlei picked up the sweat towel that was put aside, wiped the sweat that couldn't stop flowing on his face, and asked, "Brother Xu, is this going out?"
Xu Zhaonan knew that he must have forgotten the compensation he said yesterday, and reminded: "Didn't you say that you would compensate Caidiefang for one or two pieces of silver, and I am going to send it now." ”
Hearing this, Huo Chunlei suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, the beauty has an appointment, and Brother Xu should hurry up, lest the beauty leave and miss the good marriage of the brothers." ”
Xu Zhaonan said speechlessly: "Second Brother Huo, don't laugh at me." ”
Huo Chunlei smiled: "Okay, okay, you go quickly, I won't disturb your good things." Do you need horses? I'll have the servants prepare them for you. ”
"No, it's not that far, I'll just walk over it. ”
Out of Yijian Pavilion, Xu Zhaonan never stopped all the way and came to the edge of the Huai River.
The scenery of the Huai River in the morning has a unique flavor compared to the night, less noisy and more quiet.
The weeping willows on both sides of the bank flutter with the breeze, the blue waves in the river ripple, and the painting boats with red and willow green flowers at night are quietly parked on the shore at this moment, closing their doors.
Xu Zhaonan raised his eyes and searched for a moment, and finally saw the colorful butterfly boat he had been to yesterday, and when he came to the side of the boat, he saw that the door was closed, and he stepped forward and knocked lightly: "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
"Coming, coming, who, disturbing dreams early in the morning!"
Xiangdie's confused voice came from the boat, and the angry tone could be heard that this Xiangdie's sister was a little angry when she got up.
The door creaked open, revealing Xiangdie's sleepy-eyed pretty face, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Xu Gongzi, look at my mouth, please don't blame Xu Gongzi." ”
As he spoke, he embarrassedly patted his hand on his mouth.
Xu Zhaonan naturally didn't take what she just said to heart, and asked, "I think I came too early, may I ask, has Miss Kong woken up?"
"Oh, Xu Gongzi is here to find Miss Kong. ”
Xiangdie understood, and felt a little funny in her heart, but after all, she was a person who had been in the party for a long time, and yesterday she heard from her young master that this Xu Gongzi was a little thin-skinned, and he naturally did not show it in his demeanor, so as not to embarrass people, and said with a smile: "My young lady left early this morning, but I left a letter for Xu Gongzi, asking Gongzi to come with me." ”
"Already gone? Didn't you say you'd stay for a few days, so I could bring it to her today?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhaonan lost his mind for a moment, thinking that people didn't take the two pieces of silver to heart, but the shadow appeared in his mind, and he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.
I was going to hand over the silver directly to Xiangdie, but thinking that Miss Kong had left a letter for herself, I thought it would be better to read it first.
Just seeing that Xiangdie was alone in this boat, Xu Zhaonan looked at her Luo skirt that was not yet fully dressed, and it was not good to be in the same room with her lonely man and widow, and hesitated: "It's better to bother Sister Xiangdie to help me take out the letter, I'll just stand here and wait." ”
Xiangdie already knew Xu Zhaonan's character, but he didn't expect to be so pedantic to such a point, he didn't say anything as a woman, is he still afraid of a loss, he still came to this colorful butterfly boat yesterday to have fun, and he inevitably felt some contempt in his heart, but he didn't say anything more when he thought of the young master's instructions, and said with a smile: "Then Xu Gongzi will wait for a while, and Xiangdie will bring the letter to Gongzi." ”
"Thank you. ”
After a while, Xiangdie walked out of the boat, holding an envelope in her hand and handing it to Xu Zhaonan.
Xu Zhaonan took the envelope, only to see that it was empty.
At the suggestion of Xiangdie, she tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside, only to see a few lines of small characters written on the letter in Jujuanxiu's font, which was thought to be from Miss Kong's handwriting.
"Xu Gongzi, the slave family originally wanted to stay here for a few days and exchange heartfelt feelings with Gongzi. However, the family was entangled in important things and had to leave as soon as possible.
As for the one or two pieces of silver, I had to wait for the next day to find it from Gongzi.
I also hope that Xu Gongzi Haihan. ”
There is only one hole in the register, and there is no name.
Xu Zhaonan read the letter, thought for a while, and said to Xiangdie: "Since Miss Kong has left, it is the same to hand over the silver to Sister Xiangdie, and please accept it." ”
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and prepared to take out the silver and give it to Xiangdie.
Xiangdie hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, the slender hand held Xu Zhaonan's forearm, but the slightly cool touch made him feel like a soldering iron, his forearm suddenly became a little stiff, and he raised his eyes to look at Xiangdie, not knowing what she was going to do.
The feeling of tightness in her hand, Xiangdie could naturally feel it, but she didn't expect this Xu Gongzi to be so shy, a smile appeared in her curved eyebrows, and she smiled coquettishly: "My young lady has a word, and I will get it back from Gongzi when we meet next time." Therefore, Childe's silver, Xiangdie never dared to accept it. ”
"But......" Xu Zhaonan hesitated.
Xiangdie explained: "When my young lady left the letter, Xiangdie was grinding on the side. ”
"I see. ”
Xu Zhaonan understood, it turned out that Xiangdie had already known the content of the letter, and originally thought about saying goodbye this time, the rivers and lakes would be far away in the future, and he didn't know what time it would be to say goodbye, besides, it was just a tael of silver, and he didn't want to owe anyone anything.
I thought that it would be a matter to hand over the silver to Xiangdie today, but she insisted on not accepting it, and Xu Zhaonan had no choice for a while.
Xiangdie saw that he was stunned in place, as if he was a little hot by the morning sun in spring, and pulled the already loose Luo skirt on his body down, and said with a smile: "Since the letter has been handed over to the son, Xiangdie plans to go back to the house and sleep for a while, if the son doesn't want to leave, why don't you go?"
Xu Zhaonan looked at Xiangdie's exposed thin collarbones and snow-white shoulders, and suddenly felt that his head was big, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no." ”
Xiangdie Gege smiled: "Then, does Xu Gongzi still have orders?"
This is an eviction order.
"It's gone, it's gone. ”
For Xiangdie's arrogant temperament, Xu Zhaonan only felt that it was difficult to resist, except for fleeing from here immediately, he didn't think about it in his heart, how could he care about the silver.
Xiangdie smiled: "What are you still doing standing here......?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Xu Zhaonan confessed as if he had just woken up from a dream, and immediately picked up his light skills and ran towards the street in the distance.
"Hehehe, what the young master said is right, he is really a nerd. ”
