Volume 1 The first foray into the rivers and lakes Chapter 17 is destined

I saw that when the jujube red horse rushed a few feet in front of Xu Zhaonan, the person suddenly stood up and let out a long neigh, almost knocking the green-shirted woman on the horseback to the ground.

After a long neigh, the jujube red horse put down its front hooves and stood on the bluestone pavement, pacing, seemingly a little uneasy.

The woman in the green shirt chased after her, a woman straddled the horse, dressed in fiery red and looked very festive, came to the front and turned over and dismounted, nervously grabbed the reins of the red horse, looked up at the woman in the green shirt sitting on it and said, "Miss, you are not hurt!"

The woman in the green shirt shook her head, and before she could say anything, the woman dressed in fiery red turned her head to Xu Zhaonan and shouted: "Are you blind, what are you doing there, you don't know how to avoid it, aren't you afraid of being hit to death?"

"Red sleeves, don't be rude. ”

The woman in the green shirt scolded lightly, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Xu Zhaonan, and said apologetically: "This young man, Hong'er was frightened today for some reason, and collided with the young man, please don't blame the young man." ”

Hong'er is naturally the name of the jujube red horse, and at this moment she is pacing uneasily under the wolf of Xiaobai.

Xu Zhaonan shrugged his nose, as if he smelled a different kind of breath, and he had the intention to say it, but he saw that the woman in red knew that she was at fault and still spoke ill of herself, it must not be the first time she had acted like this.

treats such a person, and it is a meeting in Pingshui, and it is better to have more than one thing than one less.

He arched his hand at the moment and said with a light smile: "It's okay, it's just that the girl is a horse on the street, and it is easy to hurt pedestrians, so it's better to be careful in the future." ”

"You ......" Red Sleeves was about to scold angrily when he saw this, but was stopped by the eyes of the woman in the green shirt.

The woman in the green shirt said politely to Xu Zhaonan: "Thank you Shaoxia for mentioning it, the little girl should pay attention to it in the future." ”

Xu Zhaonan smiled slightly, greeted Xiaobai, and then passed by the two and walked towards the city.

Although there are many inns in Jiangyue City, there are more pedestrians to and fro.

After Xu Zhaonan searched one after another, he finally found an inn called Jupeng to live in before dark.

asked for an upper room, Xu Zhaonan put down his bags, and after a day of running, he was already hungry, he led Xiaobai out of the room, came to the downstairs hall, and found a place to enjoy the street view outside the door and sat down.

"Little Er, ten catties of beef, two pots of good wine!"

Xu Zhaonan shouted at Xiao Ergao who was waiting on the side.

"Okay, ten catties of beef, two pots of good wine, wait a minute. ”

Xiao Er responded and walked towards the back kitchen.

Ten catties of beef, naturally Xu Zhaonan is not eaten alone, no matter how hungry he is as a martial arts practitioner, he can't eat so much meat.

Most of the beef and another pot of wine were prepared for Xiaobai.

That's right, after Xiaobai followed Xu Zhaonan, he also likes to drink, especially the Baihua Brew made by Bai Chujian, and when he drinks wine, the amount of wine is even larger than Xu Zhaonan.

"Guest officer, the wine and meat you asked for are here, please use them slowly. ”

After a while, Xiao Er brought up the wine and meat, Xu Zhaonan poured a big bowl of wine, and brought a plate of beef, all of which were placed on the ground and let Xiaobai eat it by himself.

I was holding chopsticks, taking a sip of meat and wine, looking at the night scene outside the door, leisurely.

Suddenly, two slender shadows appeared outside the door, blocking Xu Zhaonan's vision.

I saw the two women I met on the street when I entered the city, one after the other, standing at the door of the inn and looking inward.

Xiao Er seemed to know the two, and was about to step forward to say hello, but was driven away by the red sleeves who followed behind.

After glancing around the inn, the woman in the green shirt saw Xu Zhaonan sitting in the hall eating and drinking, smiled slightly, and walked slowly towards him with lotus steps.

The woman in the green shirt came to Xu Zhaonan's table and smiled at him: "I don't know if the young man has guests." ”

Xu Zhaonan looked down at Xiao Bai, glanced at Xiao Bai, thought that Xiao Bai should not be a person, shook his head and said, "I'm alone." ”

The woman in the green shirt asked, "Can the little woman sit at the same table with the young man?"

Xu Zhaonan was stunned, recalling the situation when they met, thinking that he wouldn't be here to trouble himself, and said expressionlessly: "There are a lot of vacancies in the hall. ”

The implication is that the two of you should find another place to stay.

"You're so uninteresting!" Red Sleeves was furious, pointing at Xu Zhaonan and about to get angry.

When Miss went out today, for some reason, Hong'er suddenly went crazy, and then was blocked by the white wolf in front of him, and almost fell and injured Miss, and Red Sleeves was naturally no better for his senses.

However, when the young lady returned, she still ordered the servants in the palace to look around for his whereabouts, and actually apologized to him in person.

Miss is a daughter!

This person almost hurt Miss, and if he doesn't settle accounts with him, it's already cheaper for him, so why do you need Miss to apologize in person.

Every time I think of this, Red Sleeves is angry.

Xiao Bai, who was feasting, moved his towering ears, swallowed the beef in his mouth and stood up, his scarlet wolf eyes stared at Red Sleeves, afraid that the slightest change in Red Sleeves would cause him to burst out and tear him to pieces.

The red sleeves were stared at by Xiaobai so that his hair stood on end, and he stretched out his hands and froze in place, after all, he was a maid who had never practiced martial arts, and he was naturally a little overwhelmed in the face of such a scene.

"Red sleeves, don't be rude. ”

The woman in the green shirt pressed the outstretched hand of the red sleeves and waved her hand back, which was regarded as relieving the red sleeves.

"Yes. The red sleeves answered, standing behind the woman in the green shirt with a face full of grievances, and did not dare to move.

Seeing this, Xiaobai also lowered his head and continued to drink its wine.

"The red sleeves are rude, the little woman accompanies her for her, and she hopes that the young man Haihan. ”

The woman in the green shirt saluted Xu Zhaonan, and without waiting for him to react, she pulled out a stool and sat opposite him.

Regarding the rudeness of the red sleeves, Xu Zhaonan naturally would not be as knowledgeable as a maid, so he smiled and laughed.

However, although the woman in the green shirt said that her face was captivating, she sat opposite him on her own initiative this time, which made him a little displeased.

But this inn is open for business, there is no reason for him to occupy a table and not allow others to sit down, and what the master and servant have done since they appeared is obviously coming for themselves, thinking about this, they didn't say much, just continued to eat beef and drink wine, quietly waiting for the next move of the woman in the green shirt.

"Little Er, serve two pots of good wine and add a few delicious side dishes. ”

The woman in the green shirt commanded Xiao Er, who had been standing on the side since she entered the inn and had never left.

"Delle, Miss, wait a minute. ”

Xiao Er nodded and said, instead of calling the guest officer, he called Miss, obviously knowing the identity of the woman in the green shirt.

The woman in the green shirt opened her mouth and introduced: "The little woman's name is Su Yurou, and she inadvertently bumped into the young man today, and some thin wine and snacks were just taken as an apology." ”

"Sue?"

Xu Zhaonan's expression was a little dazed, thinking that the senior official seemed to be surnamed Su back then, and then shook his head and said with a dark smile, how can there be such a coincidental thing in the world, and the daughter of the county guard will not go out with only one maid.

"Why not?" Su Yurou's reaction to Xu Zhaonan was a little unclear.

"Nothing. ”

Xu Zhaonan smiled faintly and said tentatively: "I heard that the Jiangnan County Shou is also surnamed Su, but he has the same surname as the girl. ”

Su Yurou smiled lightly and said generously: "It's my father." ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhaonan cried and laughed a little, it was really her, and I had to sigh that life is really wonderful.

Although it was somewhat unexpected, it was also common sense - if it weren't for the powerful in the city, how could they find it so quickly as soon as they found a place to live.

Looking at Su Yurou, who was dressed in a green shirt in front of her, Xu Zhaonan couldn't reunite her with the little girl who pouted and wiped her tears in his impression, and at the moment, he could only sigh at the eighteen changes of the female college.

Xu Zhaonan quietly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be the daughter of the county guard, and she was abrupt." ”

Su Yurou could see that although he said this, he did not mean the slightest respect, but it was only caused by the arrogance of the people in the rivers and lakes.

There are many people in Jiangnan County, many of whom are descendants of Western Chu, so they naturally don't have a good impression of Dongsheng officials, so they don't care about it at the moment, and smiles: "The young man can just call me by my name, and I don't know the young man's surname." ”

"Xu Zhaonan. ”

Su Yurou smiled: "It turned out to be Xu Shaoxia." ”

Xu Zhaonan waved his hand and said, "Young Xia doesn't dare to be, just call me by my name." ”

"Miss, all the food and drinks you want are ready, please use it slowly, you have something to order. ”

Xiao Er, who was holding the wine and food, interrupted the conversation between the two, and in an instant, the table was full of various exquisite side dishes, and Xiao Er retreated after respectfully speaking.

Su Yurou got up and poured Xu Zhaonan's cup full of wine first, then poured herself another cup of tea, and saluted: "Xu Shaoxia, the little woman is not strong enough to drink, so today I will use tea instead of wine to make amends to Shaoxia." ”

Xu Zhaonan picked up the wine glass, drank it all in the cup, and said, "I said that Miss Su doesn't have to be so polite, just call me by my name." ”

Su Yurou smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Then why don't you call me by my name, but you want to call me Miss Su?"

"This ......"

Xu Zhaonan was dumbfounded, and when Pingshui met, he called him by his name, which was inevitably a bit abrupt and beautiful.

Su Yurou still smiled: "Could it be that Xu Shaoxia is unwilling to forgive the little girl?"

"It's just a small thing, and the past is gone. Xu Zhaonan was suddenly a little overwhelmed, so he had to stammer: "Yurou...... Girl. ”

That silly appearance caused Su Yurou's master and servant to cover their mouths and laugh.

After laughing, Su Yurou coughed lightly, straightened her expression, and couldn't help but smile: "Then I will call you Xu Zhaonan." ”

Xu Zhaonan nodded and said, "It should be like this." ”

Su Yurou continued: "I have never seen you in Jiangyue City, I don't know where you came from. Whether you are passing by, or you are settling here. ”

Xu Zhaonan replied: "Pass by, and leave tomorrow." ”

Su Yurou said with some regret: "I see, before I came, I thought that if you live in Jiangyue City for a long time or stay for a few days, I plan to invite you back to the house for two days, one is to apologize to you, and the other is to make friends with you, and to do the friendship of the landlord." ”

It's the friendship of the landlord again, Xu Zhaonan feels a headache when he hears this sentence now, last time Huo Chunlei almost broke a big deal about his "friendship with the landlord", and this time if Su Yurou "does the friendship of the landlord", I don't know what will happen.

Xu Zhaonan flatly refused: "There is indeed something important to do, I need to go to Zigui County, the road is far away, I dare not delay." ”

After thinking for a moment, Su Yurou asked, "You went to Zigui County at this time, didn't you attend the wedding ceremony of the second son of Yijian Pavilion and the second lady of Mingzhu Tower?"

Xu Zhaonan asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Su Yurou smiled mysteriously, a playful look appeared on her face, and said: "Although the little girl is an official eunuch, she is a little interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes because of the relationship between following her master to practice martial arts. Such a big event, naturally, I know something. ”

"Oh?"

Xu Zhaonan was even more surprised, but he didn't expect that Su Yurou, who looked weak in front of him, was actually a person who practiced martial arts, and rushed out: "You have also practiced martial arts?"

Su Yurou only thought he didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "A few years ago, there were some changes in the family. Later, my father asked a friend to help me find a master and pass on some martial arts to me, so that I could have some means of self-protection, which can also be regarded as physical fitness. It's a pity that he has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his skills have not improved much, and he often makes the master angry. ”

Probably it was that attack that made Lord County Shou feel the importance of force, so he let his daughter go to learn art, Xu Zhaonan thought.

Seeing that after Xu Zhaonan heard what Su Yurou said, he stared at his young lady in a daze without blinking, and the red sleeves were unhappy, but he looked at Xiaobai who was gobbling up on his stomach on the side, and he didn't dare to attack, so he had to mutter: "Rude disciple." ”

Although the muttering of the red sleeves was small, Xu Zhaonan's ears could naturally hear it clearly, although he didn't mean it, he didn't know what he thought, and his face suddenly turned a little red, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now, and I was distracted." ”

"Excuses. ”

Red Sleeves muttered in a low voice again, looking at the ruddy on Xu Zhaonan's face, only because he was told by himself and his heart was weak.

Su Yurou didn't care, and said generously: "I don't know what I'm thinking, can you say it and share it with me?"

Having said that, there is a hidden mystery, knowing that what Xu Zhaonan said is just a pretext, but he still has to get to the bottom of it, obviously a little annoyed by his actions.

Su Yurou didn't know what was wrong with her today, although because of her master, she was usually somewhat interested in people in the rivers and lakes. Today, Ma was frightened and met Xu Zhaonan, who had already apologized, but after returning home, his appearance always appeared in his mind, and he always felt a little familiar.

I've never seen this person before!

That's why I told the servants in the house to look for it, and wanted to ask what was going on.

Su Yurou naturally knows something about her beauty, when she saw Xu Zhaonan on the street before, she watched him behave, and thought that he would be different from others, he was a decent gentleman, but he didn't expect that he was also a disciple.

Presumably, the previous appearance of ignoring himself was just a means to get his attention.

Xu Zhaonan naturally didn't know her inner activities at the moment, otherwise, she would really have to find a crack in the ground to get into.

But when she heard Su Yurou ask, she didn't have Uncle Gu's permission to tell her what happened at the beginning, scratched her head, and said embarrassedly: "It's a little thing, don't mention it." ”

Red Sleeves had an expression that he had known to be like this, and there was undisguised disdain in his eyes.

After all, Su Yurou is everyone's best girl, even if she doesn't like it in her heart, she won't show it on her face, she smiled dignifiedly, and said: "It's not early, since Xu Shaoxia has to go tomorrow, the little girl won't bother much, and I'll see you again in the future." ”

With that, he led the red sleeves and turned to leave.

"See you soon. Xu Zhaonan immediately got up to send him off.

Hell, goodbye.

If Xu Zhaonan knew what Su Yurou was thinking at the moment, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing.

At this time, neither of them knew that in this world, some things were destined.

The encounter between two people is fate and calamity, and they can't escape or get rid of it.
