The climate of Jiangdu seems to never escape the word warm and moist, here, the winter seems to be much shorter than the north, especially after entering February, it will gradually cease to be cold in winter, gradually warmed up, followed by the wisps of spring rain, the so-called apricot blossom light rain is so, but many people who have just arrived in the north of the south of the Yangtze River usually do not like this climate, only in early spring will occasionally praise the prosperity of this bright spring day "the flowers gradually want to charm the eyes", and then there will be endless spring disgust.

However, Xu Beiyou, as a Northwest man who has lived in the northwest of the Saiwai for 20 years, is used to the rough wind and sand outside the Saiwai, but he can't hate the warmth of Jiangnan, and even likes it a little unspeakably.

When the northwest and northeast are still sprinkled with scattered snowflakes, Jiangdu has ushered in the first apricot blossom light rain in the twenty-third year of Chengping.

This kind of light rain, although the sky is gloomy and dark, but there will never be black clouds to overwhelm the city, the wisps, as thin as cow hair, wash away the dust, so that the flowers and leaves are moist, the bluestone paved streets are more and more green, and the black tiles are brighter and brighter. At the same time, the streets suddenly became lively, and the vendors began to scramble to clean up their stalls, and the streets were full of pedestrians running briskly to avoid the rain.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth are white, and the rain rustles and falls, as if to set a white edge on everything, and the water vapor is full of smoke and the smoke is hazy.

The fine and dense spring rain fell on the streets, accumulating small puddles, and the footsteps of those who were still in the rain were a little chaotic, and they seemed to be in a hurry, and after a while, the streets were completely deserted, and they were already empty.

With a snap, someone stepped into a small puddle.

A man and woman walked down the long street leading to the outside of the city with an oil-paper umbrella, and the black mountain-like city wall was already faintly visible under the rain in the distance.

T permanently exempt} Y fee/L look at the little a said:

The woman reached out to catch some rain, as if she felt interesting, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she smiled and fell into the city.

The man held the umbrella and tilted the umbrella to the woman's side, feeling like this light rain, with a faint melancholy.

Previously, when he was in Ronghuafang, there was a small confrontation between the two women, Xiao Zhinan, who occupied the time and the people, was slightly better than Wu Yu, who was only geographically advantageous, and the invisible sword and sword shadow between those women, he had no intention of delving into it, what really worried Xu Beiyou was today's meeting, and it involved the dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Since ancient times, whether it is the royal family, or the promotion of the small people, it is difficult to escape from this trap, women fight mostly because of men, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law because of a man and look at each other is not uncommon, it is said that the Empress Dowager Lin and Queen Xu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, from Queen Xu married the emperor who was still the prince at the time, until the death of the queen mother-in-law, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have always been in a faint hostile state, as for the first emperor and His Majesty the emperor, they will not know the inside story, but there is nothing to do, they can only deceive themselves into believing that the world is peaceful, and there is no wind and rain and no sunshine。

Now this matter is Xu Beiyou's turn, although his parents are no longer alive, and his stepfather Han Xuan has not remarried after the early death of his wife, but he still has a master, in terms of the monk sect, the master is like a father, and the master is naturally like a mother, this time he took Xiao Zhinan back to Jiangdu, and he did not have the intention of seeing his daughter-in-law to see his in-laws.

Zhang Xueyao and Xiao Zhinan, one is the princess of the former dynasty to defend the country, and the other is the princess of the great Qi of this dynasty, they have never intersected before, but the grievances between the older generations are a bad debt that cannot be calculated, and even more so between the Zhang family and the Xiao family.

The Sword Sect claims that the affairs of the world are also a sword matter, but the family affairs are obviously not among them, and the Gongsun Zhongmou of that year was not even afraid of the autumn leaves, but he left Jiangdu for more than 20 years, not without reason.

Xu Beiyou originally wanted to go to Aunt Qin to explore the wind first, and then go to the East Lake Courtyard, but he didn't expect that Zhang Xueyao had already sent someone to pass the word and asked him to go over today, Xu Beiyou had no choice but to obey, but Xiao Zhinan didn't care about it, not like Xu Beiyou, he was quite at ease.

The two of them went all the way out of Jiangdu City and went to the East Lake Courtyard.

Coming to the gate of the East Lake Courtyard, Zhang Xueyao's henchman disciple Zhang Yun was already waiting here, she did not interfere in the internal affairs of the Sword Sect on weekdays, but was only responsible for the management of the East Lake Courtyard, so her status was very special, after seeing Xu Beiyou and the others, she first saluted, and then said to Xiao Zhinan: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the acting sect master is invited." ”

Xu Beiyou asked, "Senior sister, she only invited Zhinan alone?"

Zhang Yundao: "Back to the young master, the acting sect master specially instructed that only His Royal Highness be invited to go to the Liuli Pavilion, and the young master was also invited to go to the main hall for a rest." ”

Xu Beiyou glanced at Xiao Zhinan helplessly, but Xiao Zhinan had expected it, smiled faintly, and signaled him to be relieved.

The two entered the courtyard and separated in the shadow wall, Xiao Zhinan followed Zhang Yun in the direction of Liuli Pavilion, while Xu Beiyou went to the main hall alone.

When she came to the main hall, sure enough, Li Qinglian, the son of Lian, was already here, and when she saw Xu Beiyou, who was still with a faint moisture on her body, she sighed: "Who am I, it turned out to be the famous emperor's son-in-law, you are not staying in the imperial capital, why are you coming to our Jiangdu?"

Xu Beiyou didn't care, and said with a slight smile: "You girl, my senior brother hasn't seen you go to visit you for two days since he came back, and he wants me to take the initiative to see you." ”

Li Qinglian snorted lightly, "Are you here to see me?" I'm afraid you can't come to the East Lake Courtyard." ”

Xu Beiyou pretended to be surprised and said: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, I didn't expect to see you for a few months, Qinglian, you are a lot smarter." ”

Li Qinglian was furious and said: "The surname is Xu, what do you mean by this? I was just too lazy to think about it before, it's not that I'm stupid!"

Xu Beiyou was not angry, nodded insincerely, and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, Lian Gongzi is very intelligent and talented, but he is lazy, if he is willing to spend some effort to practice, stepping into the realm of earth immortals is like playing, where is there anything to do with me." ”

Li Qinglian snorted, "The surname is Xu, you are less yin and yang here." ”

Xu Beiyou smiled and said, "I heard that my junior sister has read a lot of books recently, I don't know if she has read a person's fairy realm?"

These words suddenly poked Li Qinglian's soft underbelly, and this Lian Gongzi got up angrily, walked in front of Xu Beiyou, pointed to his nose and said: "The Earth Immortal Realm is amazing! Believe it or not, I will cut you!"

Xu Beiyou waved his hand and smiled: "Believe, of course believe." ”

Li Qinglian eased her anger a little, turned around and walked back, and at the same time left a sentence, "Xu Nangui, don't be complacent, just wait for the backyard to catch fire." ”

Xu Beiyou sighed, "Ask Dao Ancestor for your blessing." ”

Immediately after that, his words changed, "But then again, you are not too young, you should quickly find a good family to marry you, but I am afraid that no one in this Jiangdu City may dare to marry." ”

Li Qinglian turned around angrily again, and kicked Xu Beiyou's calf, "I want you to take care of it!"

Xu Beiyou looked down at this junior sister who was becoming more and more unaware of what Wen Wan and Xianshu was, reached out and pinched the tip of her nose, and said softly: "If one day my wife and I are gone, what should you do?"

Li Qinglian was stunned suddenly, and her anger vanished.

She suddenly realized that she had never gazed at this senior brother so closely, and when she saw the two strands of white hair hanging from his crown, she suddenly felt a wave of shame and inexplicable sadness.
