Liu Jingxuan bowed and said, "In Xia Liu Siying, I returned to my hometown and passed by Guibaodi. Suddenly heavy rain, want to hide from the rain here, stay overnight, I don't know if the owner can take in. ”

The visitor hesitated for a moment: "This..."

Liu Jingxuan hurriedly took out a large silver ingot from his arms, handed it to the visitor, and said with a smile: "Please also ask the owner of the village to make it convenient." ”

The person who came smiled slightly, and pushed the silver back to Liu Jingxuan: "I am not the owner of this village, so if you can let Gongzi stay overnight, I will also ask the owner of my family." ”

The visitor glanced at the carriage in front of the door: "Your Excellency, don't you still have your family?"

Liu Jingxuan's face flushed: "There is also a female dependent." ”

The person who came nodded: "Please wait for a while, and I will report to my master." With that, he closed the corner door.

This mountain villa is very large, with more than a dozen courtyards in front and back. The man went around the house and came to the tenth courtyard. Here strange rocks, surrounded by ponds, green bamboos and cypresses, birds and flowers. In the upper room sat two men and one woman, one old and two young.

The old one is dressed in purple, lined with a bright red brocade gown, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, big ears and wheels, and a proud face. The old man is too tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his voice is like a bell, and he is angry and bullfighting.

The young man was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed in a lilac brocade robe, with a face like Fu powder, a heroic face, and a folding fan with gold and jade bones in his hand.

The woman is about 20 years old, wearing a lotus-colored lily dress, red lips and wrists, bright eyes and jade teeth, which makes people fall in love at first sight.

The family member in his forties, who came to the upper room, bowed to the old man and said, "Master Qiqi, a strange man and woman came outside, saying that they wanted to stay in the villa for one night. Please also ask the owner to show it. ”

The old man snorted when he heard this: "Bi Chunming, as the second housekeeper of the village, you should know that a hero conference will be held tomorrow." At this critical juncture, how can you stay overnight with outsiders? Send them away at once. ”

Bi Chunming nodded and said, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

The young man on the side suddenly asked, "Have you asked, who is here?"

Bi Chunming thought for a while and said, "The person who came called himself Liu Siying. ”

An imperceptible smile flashed on the young man's face, and then he said, "Master Bizhuang, the so-called people in the world are in charge of the world's affairs. The rain lasted for a while, and I couldn't stop it. And there is no store in front of the village here, so it doesn't hurt to take them in for one night for the time being. ”

When the old man saw the young man speak, he immediately nodded and said, "Since the pavilion master has spoken, the old man will leave these two people in the village." Saying that, Chong Bi Chunming instructed: "Arrange them in the Second Dao Courtyard and entertain them." ”

Bi Chunming returned to the gate, and Liu Jingxuan was really anxious. As soon as he saw Bi Chunming come out, Liu Jingxuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the owner of the village if he agreed to take me in?"

Bi Chunming smiled and said, "The owner of my family agreed." Please!" Bi Chunming instructed a few subordinates to open the gate and drive the carriage into the second courtyard.

These two courtyards are very large, not only with neat houses, but also with independent stables. The men put two horses, one white and one black, into the stable, tied them to the trough, and found some broken wheat to feed the horses.

Liu Jingxuan gratefully handed the ingot of silver to Bi Chunming: "Thank you, sir." ”

Bi Chunming pushed the silver back to Liu Jingxuan, and said with a smile: "The villain's name is Bi Chunming, and he is the second housekeeper of this villa. The owner of my family is kind and charitable, and he will not cherish Liu Gongzi's silver. Liu Gongzi just has to live in peace, and it will not be too late to leave tomorrow when the weather is fine. ”

Liu Jingxuan's face turned red, and he was very grateful. Bi Chunming and his subordinates left the courtyard one after another. Liu Jingxuan carefully looked at this courtyard, there are three upper rooms here, and three east and west wings. For him and Zhuge Qinglin, they are both rich.

Liu Jingxuan saw that there was no one around, so he carefully mixed Zhuge Qinglin into the carriage. The two of them entered the upper room one after the other, and it was very clean. The green bricks in the house are paved and the bricks are ground and jointed, which is smooth and uniform. The tables and chairs in the main hall are exquisite, antique and antique. The windows of the east and west rooms are bright and clean, and the beds are new. Zhuge Qinglin chose the room to the west, and Liu Jingxuan chose the room to the east.

Before he could hold the lamp, Bi Chunming ordered his subordinates to send food and drink to Liu Jingxuan's room. Liu Jingxuan is very grateful.

Bi Chunming smiled: "Young Master Liu doesn't have to be polite. When you're done eating, I'll send someone to fetch the plates and chopsticks. When you have finished eating, rest early. Don't move around. This villa is very large, and if you walk around the villa, you are afraid that you will not be able to find your original residence. Please also remember that Young Master Liu. ”

After Bi Chunming left, Liu Jingxuan looked at the table of food and couldn't help but sigh inexplicably. The world is so big, there are still a lot of good people. Liu Jingxuan called Zhuge Qinglin from Westinghouse to have dinner together. The two of them ate very quietly, and neither of them spoke first. Liu Jingxuan poured himself a drink, and his mood was a little complicated.

Liu Jingxuan glanced at Zhuge Qinglin opposite, and finally couldn't help asking, "Zhuge girl, don't you have anything to ask me?"

The brilliance of the fire candle was reflected on Zhuge Qinglin's cheeks, which looked bright and moving, shining brightly. Although the expression is still so indifferent, there is a hint of warmth.

Zhuge Qinglin's right fingertips lightly swept his hair, raised his eyes to look at Liu Jingxuan, and said lightly: "No." I'm sure if you want to say, nature will tell me. ”

Liu Jingxuan looked Zhuge Qinglin up and down. Zhuge Qinglin did not avoid Liu Jingxuan's gaze at all.

Liu Jingxuan lowered his head in embarrassment and muttered, "I don't understand, although you and I have lived in the government for a while, we are not close friends, why do you trust me so much." ”

Zhuge Qinglin turned his face to look out the window, the rain was still dripping, and the sky was dark.

Zhuge Qinglin's face was solemn, and he said, "Except for my mother, sister, and Yue'er, I have never trusted anyone, including my father. ”

Liu Jingxuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

"I was born in Beijing, and when I was seven years old, I went to Guangyuan, Sichuan Province with my father, and lived in the Bird Forest for nearly ten years. Although the life of Luoniaolin is quiet and comfortable, I always remember the meaning of my father's name as the Four Evils of the Qing Dynasty. More than once I have seen people die under my father's flaming sword, before they even have time to close their eyes. He is selfish and vitriol, betraying his brother for glory, hypocritical and cunning, and ruthless and vicious. My sister was originally very nice, gentle, kind, and smart. But I don't know when she became murderous and angry. Sometimes I wonder if all people are the same under this seemingly peaceful and peaceful sky. Unscrupulous, hypocritical and treacherous, and cunning for their own interests. Zhuge Qinglin looked at Liu Jingxuan, his eyes were a little complicated.
