Chapter 8: Lou Xiaoyun
At the other end of the study of King Mu's mansion, Pei Ying was reporting Luo Li's whereabouts tonight.
"Lord Wang, Miss Luo went to a courtyard in the west of the city tonight and saw a teenager, that young man didn't look like us Kyushu people, but he found his subordinates, so his subordinates couldn't get close to hear what they said. However, Miss Luo did not shy away from this young man named Xiao Anu, saying that it was her relative, so I should not embarrass him. ”
"Well, the king knows. Pei Huan wrote today that he had lost another rich woman in Zicheng in the past two days, and he had found a hiding place to see if he could find some clues. ”
"Well, the secret guards sent by his subordinates found a courtyard in the south of the city that is a little strange, and it looks ordinary on the outside, but the surrounding neighbors say that there are often women's cries at night. ”
"Oh, give me the address, and I'll go to the courtyard tomorrow. ”
"Yes. Pei Ying handed him a note.
"This matter is very well done, Pei Ying, you go down and rest first, and I will take a look at these files. King Mu fiddled with the wick, then took out a dossier and continued to look through it.
Pei Ying glanced at King Mu, who was a little haggard, and stopped talking, but still withdrew from the study.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Luo Li sat behind the bookcase and drew the blank fan sent by Steward Li with great interest, humming a little song and entertaining himself.
Yuan Qin knocked on the door, walked in and said, "Miss Lou invites Miss Luo to go to the garden for a while." ”
Luo Li was a little surprised, what did they have to catch upon? But it was boring to be in the house every day, and since someone came to the door to invite her out, why not go there.
"Good. Luo Li took a handful of the painted fans and put them in his sleeve, and followed Yuan Qin to the garden.
In the distance, Luo Li heard the sound of the guzheng, melodious and magnificent, like a raging wave, rapid and powerful. When I got closer, it was a small waist playing in the pavilion in the garden.
She stood not far away and stopped to admire, Lou Xiaoyun was wearing a pink Luo skirt, holding a white veil, and a little powder, looking a little more beautiful than the first time she met, and the simple jade ornaments embellished her waist-length green silk, like a painting. This scene suddenly reminded her of the second senior brother and the fourth senior brother She went to Phoenix to play, at that time the fourth senior brother was depressed, and the second senior brother took the most care of him, took them down the mountain to the northern city to relax, and met a fireworks woman, stroking the piano in the lake, it was also so melodious and energetic, it made the fourth senior brother cry when he listened, but after that time, the fourth senior brother was in a much better mood, and he was not alone.
Since then, Luo Li has admired the woman who can play the piano, she has no such ability, she is born a music idiot, and the piano teacher in the villa has long blacklisted her.
But fortunately, her calligraphy and painting can still be put on the table, so that her master is not so tight on her piano lessons.
Lou Xiaoyun saw her coming, stopped the piano, she stood up and gave a blessing, looking at Luo Li with bright and clear eyes, her lips were gently raised, she smiled friendlyly, and the pear vortex on her cheeks appeared, like a peach blossom blooming in spring, soft and beautiful.
"Lou girl. Luo Li returned the salute.
"Sister Luo, please take a seat. Lou Xiaoyun opened the topic first, and said in a soft voice: "Sister Luo's injury seems to be healed, Xiaoyun is relieved." Word by word, soft, shallow smile.
"Miss Lou has a heart, and the scar-smearing cream will be cured after two days. She smiled back.
The little beauty saw that Luo Li was still a little angry, and she didn't hide her emotions, and said with expectation: "Xiaoyun is not yet in time, if my sister doesn't dislike it, let's call me Xiaoyun." She sighed and continued: "This Mu Wangfu is so boring, Xiaoyun has been coming to Yanyang for a year, but she stays here every day, and now Brother Mu Xiao said that Sister Luo is going to live here for a long time, so today Xiaoyun specially invited her sister to come and want to make friends with her sister." ”
This girl is as gentle as a spring breeze, which makes Luo Li a woman enjoy it very much. It is estimated that in a few years, this little lady will become the person that all kings and single nobles dream of.
Such a sister, give me ten dozen!
"Lou...... No, Xiaoyun. Luo Li immediately changed her words, "The little beauty's request, my sister naturally can't refuse." ”
When the girl in front of her heard this, she was very happy, and she didn't hold the young lady's shelf, and laughed happily.
"By the way, patronizing and talking, you see my memory!" Luo Li took out the folding fan he had just taken from his arms and handed it to Lou Xiaoyun in front of him.
"Huh, my sister gave it to me?" she unfolded the folding fan, and the person depicted in this fan, this clothes, looked a little familiar. "Little Orange Blossom, look, this is me, this is me!" the little beauty stood up excitedly and took the fan to the maid next to her.
After all, she's still a little girl.
"Xiaoyun has an outstanding appearance, and when I saw the corridor that day, I wanted to go back and paint it. And when we go out to play in the future, we will naturally use these folding fans. Xiaoyun, you just said that you have only been in Yanyang for a year, you are not from Yanyang?"
"I am from the coast of the East China Sea, because my father entrusted Brother Mu Xiao, well, it is the prince, and I only moved here with him last year. ”
Luo Li saw that Lou Xiaoyun didn't hide anything at all, like her own little sister, she immediately felt very close to herself, she asked with interest: "The coast of the East China Sea? Tell me what kind of place does the coast of the East China Sea look like?" I have always wanted to visit, but I have not had the opportunity for a long time. ”
"Well, that place is not fun, there is no Wangdu These downtown markets sell everything, the market on the coast of the East China Sea opens in half a month, and I don't need anything to sell...... The scenery is beautiful though, unlike here, where there are houses everywhere. There are many high mountains on the coast of the East China Sea, standing in the middle of the polar sea, and a mountain is the territory of a sect. The people on the coast of the East China Sea are too boring, and they are all people who are so stuffy that they cultivate the truth every day. As Lou Xiaoyun spoke, she couldn't help but think of her father, who had cultivated madly, and couldn't help sighing.
"I've heard that there are a lot of dangerous peaks in the middle of the sea, and the scenery is unique and very special. ”
"Special...... This is true, one peak and one faction, do not disturb each other, but they stay in the mountains every day, so boring. ”
"Why didn't Xiaoyun cultivate the truth?"
"I don't like it, I don't want to make stones. The little beauty pursed her lips, and when she mentioned cultivation, she seemed to be unhappy.
"Stones?"
"Those who practice meditate every day, like stones. "Lou Xiaoyun is serious.
"Haha!" Luo Li laughed, because he suddenly had a picture in his mind.
Well, on the towering peaks, a group of stones sits there.
This little girl is very funny.
Deliverable, teachable.
"Then King Mu is also a stone?" Luo Li asked quippingly, blinking.
The little beauty nodded slightly, and then said, "I can't say anything about Brother Mu Xiao." She blinked obediently, "Sister, can you teach me to draw too?" I want to be like my sister and draw so well." ”
"Okay, then in exchange, you teach me to play the piano?"
"Okay!"
The two hit it off, you and I talked until the evening, Lou Xiaoyun prepared a lot of delicious food to entertain her, and Luo Li was very happy. The two of them said goodbye when they arrived, and she went back to wash up and fell asleep in a hurry.
In the next few days, either Lou Xiaoyun went to Lanyuan to play with her, or Luo Li went to Lou Xiaoyun, the two were inseparable, but the matter of teaching Luo Li to learn the piano was completely shelved without restriction after Lou Xiaoyun listened to a few tunes she played.
The two of them spent most of their time chatting, chatting and chatting, and inevitably talked about some things about Qi Muxiao on the coast of the East China Sea. Lou Xiaoyun does not call Qi Muxiao a prince, because on the coast of the East China Sea, there are no worldly titles such as prince and emperor. Lou Xiaoyun said and unconsciously told Luo Li all these things.
The most important thing is that she learned that Qi Muxiao was a closed disciple of Bai Jing, the sect leader of the White Sect.
Bai Jing, the sect master of the Bai Sect, the head of the Immortal Sect. Not to mention that his fame spread all over the cultivation realm, even the people of the world knew about the immortal venerable. In addition to those jokes about the royal family in the tea house, there are many legends of this white man, it is said that the cultivation is unfathomable, and he has some friendship with Emperor Qi, and it is he who sits in the cultivation world, so there are fewer people who cultivate the truth to do evil in the world.
In this way, this Mu Wang Bacheng is also a person who cultivates the truth.
Later, Luo Li found that Lou Xiaoyun's cat was missing, and she specially asked Yuan Qin to find out that Lou Xiaoyun sent the cat away for her.
Luo Li was very moved, and his love for this little girl increased a little.
But unexpectedly, Qi Muxiao didn't care about the two of them dating, but only came twice when she was painting.
During these two encounters, the sick man's face became paler and haggard, and he occasionally coughed.
Luo Li was also curious about the rumors, and some people once said that King Mu was sent to the coast of the East China Sea to cultivate because he was terminally ill and Emperor Qi was desperate, so he begged the Immortal Venerable to take him in. Now looking at his weak appearance, Luo Li thinks this rumor is more credible.
After Luo Li met Lou Xiaoyun, he suddenly felt that it was not bad to live in this palace for a long time, with fine clothes and food, and beautiful women, but it would be better if he could find an opportunity to bring Xiao Anu in.
