Chapter 40: Darkness Under the Light (2) Silence

"Here comes the fourth. The tent tilted his head and muttered quietly.

The man on the stairs hurried downstairs, and at a cursory glance, he saw only a red and white shadow. In the next second, he appeared in front of the three of them. Take a closer look, this man's spring breeze jade face, wearing a bright red phoenix on the cloud brocade silk, the high phoenix head leaning on the shoulder, the phoenix tail is tactfully spread on the back, elegant and delicate clothes add a lot of points to his handsome face, but unfortunately there are too many sachets and jade pendants hanging on the waist.

He was slightly taller than them, and he was estimated to be a year or two older than them. The middle stage of the mature child. Looking at the style of his whole body, he should be a cultivator, but his every move faintly reveals a worldly atmosphere, which is unpredictable.

Before the man could speak, the tent first changed into a smiling face, and said with him kindly: "Second master, it's over very quickly today." ”

It seems that this man known as the second master should have a background. He is approachable, and he says a beautiful thing: "Whoever makes your pastries so fragrant that they can't help but come in every time they walk to your door." This came in, even if you were full, you had to smell the aroma thoroughly before you were willing to leave. ”

The tent room felt comfortable when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Ming'er is August 15, I will ask the kitchen to make an extra snowy mooncake for you to bring back." With that, he recruited the second child to go to the back kitchen.

"What about you?" the tent suddenly turned to Xia Qian and the others.

The three of them were at a loss and at a loss, and the second master spoke arrogantly: "Count my account." ”

"Haole!" The tent immediately smiled, and then said to Xia Qian: "Count your luck, thank you for your luck." ”

Xia Qian was about to gladly accept his kindness, but who knew that Xia Lin suddenly opened his mouth and said solemnly: "We meet in Pingshui, we have no reason to accept your kindness." ”

Xia Qian pulled Xia Lin's sleeve and took him behind him, and said to the second master with a smile: "This is the eldest of our family, and I read too many books and read my brain stupidly." Since this second master is so generous, we will not refuse. ”

Xia Lin twisted his arm fiercely behind him, and Xia Qian was smiling in pain.

Speaking kung fu, the snow skin mooncakes were also ready and delivered. The ice crystal dish contains four delicate mooncakes.

The second master frowned. "How are there four?"

The bookkeeper was looking for a box, so he didn't notice his serious expression. He replied: "Usually moon cakes are sent in three counts, but you still have a brother in your family, so I sent one more." ”

The second master's eyes suddenly turned cold for a moment, and his displeased expression still lingered a little. His tone was slightly cold: "If you do this business, this store must not go bankrupt." ”

The tent man smiled: "No, no." If there is a house in Qujiang one day, our small shop will not fall. We're still up to you. His last sentence was whispered, and his eyes full of laughter were full of affection.

The second master obviously didn't eat his set, took out two snowy mooncakes from the plate, and said, "I'm not such a greedy person, one pair is enough." ”

The tent didn't say much, so he relied on him.

The four of them went ashore together, and the second master's face looked much better. He turned to look at the three of them and asked, "You are not from the He family, are you?" ”

Xia Qian replied: "We are just starting out, and we are afraid of being bullied, so we want to rely on the prestige of the He family, and we just bluff. "He lies and comes casually.

The second master snorted coldly: "Any prestige is a disguise." Outside of the gold and jade, it is just ruined. ”

This second master is so resistant to the He family, I don't know who it is, could it be that the He family has reproached him? Xia Qian's thoughts rose again,

The second master's face changed like a change of sky, and after a while, he smiled happily: "I heard that your accent is not a local, where is your ancestral home?"

Xia Yu blurted out: "We are Jin ......" Xia Qian immediately pushed him with his elbow and interrupted him.

"We are from the capital and want to come to the He family. He blurted out the topic.

"The capital, isn't the words of the capital closer to Anjia, why did you come all the way to the west?" the second master asked.

Xia Qian didn't expect that this second master's mind was quite delicate, and he was not as easy to fool as he looked. But he lied, his face was not red and his heart did not beat when he told nonsense, and he said solemnly: "We are at odds with An Jia. ”

"Oh roar, what do you follow? He asked.

Xia Qian replied: "My own way." He didn't answer the question.

The second master glanced at him deeply, and said in a blink of an eye: "We are destined to meet, why don't I take you around?"

Xia Qian bowed, "That's a good feeling." ”

The second master took Xia Qian, Xia Lin and Xia Yu to Huajian Road for lunch. The courtyard is chic, with four people sitting at a table in a flower garden, surrounded by flowers of all colors, with a small path leading to the flower garden in front of it, and flowers and trees on both sides. And the kitchen was at the end of the alley.

The dishes are finished by the small two, through the flower-scented path, if a few flowers happen to fall to make a decoration, it is excellent, but the hot air has dissipated a lot along the way, and the temperature is just right when you enter.

"What a delicate idea, dissipating heat and melting the fragrance of flowers. Xia Yu praised.

"Yes, it's not, the person who came up with this method must have a delicate heart. The second master picked up a piece of braised pork and muttered.

Xia Qian paid attention to his every move. Xia Lin shut up and didn't say a word.

After that, the second master took them to visit the Yufang Sword Box, the North Bridge of the South City, and the Music Hall Theater. But everyone who opened the door during the day went once.

As soon as the hour arrives, the lights of the whole city are turned on at the moment of nightfall. The colorful lights hanging in the streets and alleys gather their cool light, creating the brightest place in this night.

There are far more people on the streets at night than during the day. Suddenly, there was a lot of noise, mixed voices, and it was lively.

The nightlife began.

Xia Lin has his own routine every day, and he needs to practice regularly and fixedly to fall asleep and get up to meditate. He refused their invitation to go with them, intending to return to the inn that the second master had booked for them first.

"Can I go back first?" Xia Lin asked Xia Qian.

"Yes. "Xia Qian, excuse me.

The second master watched the two of them move silently.

Xia Yu naturally followed Xia Qian's actions. When the second master saw Xia Lin leaving, he immediately took a breath: "Although your eldest is young, he is very mature." He had a straight face, and I didn't dare to speak. ”

Xia Qian smiled: "He's like this, he's still very good." ”

The second master walked to Xia Yu's side, put his shoulder on his shoulder, and led him to the brightest place. "Compared to the old man, I still like this, good enough. ”

Xia Qian chased: "Why do you still want to dig the foot of the wall......"

As soon as the three of them stepped into the glorious gate, they heard the soft whispers of many warblers and swallows, and pounced.

"Second master, why did you come. The two women in red and green swept towards the second master's face with a handkerchief. Xia Qian was three people away from him, and he could still smell the fat powder.

The second master pushed Xia Yu away and smiled and hugged the two women into his arms, and went in familiarly. It's really a hug from left to right, so it's not lively.

This second master is a prodigal son.

Xia Qian has followed his father in the rivers and lakes for many years, it's not that he hasn't been to this kind of boundless place, it's just that he was still young at that time, where can he understand this kind of wonderful thing. Just watching his dad with a spring breeze on his face and laughing non-stop, just think it's really a good thing. But he didn't realize it, so he didn't go with his father in the future.

Now that I'm here, I'm worried, I'm afraid that I'll be entangled and pull Xia Yu straight to the corner.

At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo came from the center of the main hall, and the inside and outside of the house were red, with hydrangeas around the beams and red silk walls. There was a girl on the stage, with round eyes and a small mouth, crooked eyebrows and eyes, a smiling face, lively and playful.

"Well, it's cute. Xia Qian pinched his chin and began to evaluate.

The previous one, Qiushui Yiren, is tall and slender, with tenderness like water in his eyes and affectionate eyebrows.

"Hmm~ It's very gentle at first glance. Xia Qian said again.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Oiran was the last to play, her skin was like snow, and her red lips could be seen in the red veil of her mask, not to mention her graceful posture, which was uneven and convex, white and beautiful, and evoked reverie.

"Oh, oh, oh. This is good, good, good......" Xia Qian's eyes were straight, his tongue couldn't be straightened, and his speech was stumbling. Looking back at Xia Yu, her face was flushed, and nosebleeds slowly fell from her nostrils.

"Hahaha, look how ashamed you are. I want to be able to calm the scene like I did. Xia Qian sneered.

Xia Yu glanced at him, took out a handkerchief and wiped it under his nose, and came to him, an obvious red mark.

Xia Qian hurriedly said: "I, I'm drinking ginseng tea from the theater in the afternoon, and I drank too much." ”

If you don't say that these two are good brothers, while watching, they help each other wipe nosebleeds.

This gentleness and cuteness is worthless in the face of sexiness.

The Oiran twisted his body and went to the second master. The second master escaped her sight with a glass of wine, and the joy on his face was not as happy as before. Oiran looked down and walked away.

This night, the second master held Xia Qian and Xia Yu to drink. He drank a lot of himself, as if there was something in his heart, and sighed every time he drank a glass, his eyes were lonely, and his heart was full of sorrow.

The city that never sleeps, and the lights don't go out until dawn.

Just after the child, the second master was drunk like mud. grabbed a woman beside him and shouted, "Beautiful, beautiful." ”

The woman said angrily: "Second master, I am pretty, not beautiful." ”

The second master turned his head and pulled the sleeve of the other girl's shirt again, and read, "Qingli." ”

"I'm not Qingli, I'm beautiful. ”

Xia Qian intended to send him home and asked him where he lived, but he was delirious and answered the question, muttering: "Let me think again, let me think again." ”

The old bustard of the Qinglou walked over, accustomed to this situation, and patted him on the shoulder: "Second master? ”

Xia Qian asked the old bustard the address of the second master's house.

The old bustard was surprised: "You don't even know who he is? He is the second young master of the He family of the Immortal Sect, and his father is the brother of the current master of the He family." ”

Xia Qian exclaimed, this is a noble son of a serious family, no wonder he is generous. But since he is a high-ranking member of the He family, why is he so disdainful of the He family. Xia Qian didn't think about it for the time being, and sent him to the gate of He's house with Xia Yu, knocked on the door for him and immediately hid.

The man who opened the door saw that it was him, and immediately picked him up and led him in. Xia Qian asked Xia Yu to wait outside the door, while he sneaked in and followed all the way.

The second master walked halfway, woke up, pushed away the two people and helped himself to the courtyard.

"Bastard! Come back drunk again! Your cultivation is all about to be wasted!" a middle-aged man appeared from the side wearing a coat and scolded him with a slap on his head and face.

The second master sneered: "Father is optimistic about my brother, and he still cares what I do?"

The middle-aged man shouted sternly: "I don't care about you, who cares about you! As long as you are in He He for a day, you will have to be under my supervision! You will not be allowed to go out from tomorrow!" He left these words and went back to the room.

The second master sang: "I want to leave, but you can't stop me." ”

He stumbled into his courtyard. Before he returned, the lights were already on in the room, and the light elongated the figure of the man standing in the doorway.

The second master stopped, straightened up and faced her. He joked in a playful tone: "Isn't this my sister-in-law, why are you in my bedroom so late? Could it be that the eyes are charming in the middle of the night, and the sister-in-law has made a mistake." Hum. ”

The woman was angry: "Can you not always be like this." Don't you understand? It's because you're always like this that I married your brother. ”

The second master put away his sneer, walked past her, and said coldly: "Since you know that you and my eldest brother are married, you should avoid suspicion." Don't be notorious for not keeping women's morals, and make me into a fuss. ”

The woman was annoyed and angry, "He is silent!"

The second master looked back and smiled: "What do you want me to do?"
