The lord can't get along with this butterfly

When Hua Zhuo went back, Ji Xiao was not in the house, and he didn't know where he went.Er Fu happened to be looking for him for something, so he pulled him into the back room, closed the door and said in a low voice, "My lord, someone from Lingxiaotang has sent a message, saying that Master Qiu Shaotang wants to talk to you about the old days."

Hua Zhuo was taken aback, and said, "Now?"

Erfu nodded.

Hua Zhuo thought for a while, then asked again: "Then besides that, he didn't say anything else?"

Er Fu said, "No more."

Hua Zhuo said: "Then where will he meet?"

"Zuixiao Tower on the East Street." Erfu replied, afraid that he would really go, he couldn't help but muttered a few more words, "Young Master, I think Master Qiu is so anxious to see you, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a There are other plots, maybe they want to provoke the relationship between you and the young master... You should not go, right?"

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Hua Zhuo comforted him with a smile, and decided, "But I have to go for this matter, and I will be back later, you don't have to follow me."

Er Fu was startled, "Master, are you really going to see him?"

Hua Zhuo nodded, and said: "There must be a break. If I guessed correctly, he sent the letter last time anonymously. This person is so bold, if I don't go and explain it to him, he will come back later." If Ji Xiao finds out what he did, it may cause a lot of trouble."

Then Hua Zhuo thought of something, blushed, and said, "It's a trivial matter to be threatened, what if he uses something that shouldn't be used... I really don't know what to do."

Er Fu asked in confusion, "What method should I not use?"

"It's nothing." Hua Zhuo coughed lightly, and entrusted, "Anyway, I'll go there now, you wait here for me, and when Ji Xiao comes back, tell me that I went shopping, do you hear me?"

Er Fu couldn't stop him, so he had to agree with a frown.

Hua Zhuo patted him on the shoulder, turned around and went out the door, and when he walked outside, he greeted the shadow guard decently to prove that he was really just going shopping.

Following the address, Huazhuo found Zuixiaolou, which is located in the bustling area of ​​East Street. Although this restaurant is not as big as the government-run restaurant, it is not small in scale, with elegant decoration and a crowd of people.

Standing at Zuixiao Tower, Hua Zhuo looked guiltyly at the crowd, then turned around and slipped into the small alley between nearby buildings.When he came out again, his appearance had changed to his original appearance.

How about going to meet up in such a standard way, Hua Jue thought, even if she used an extreme method, Qiu Huaiyu had to stop thinking about it, so as not to cause any trouble to herself in the future.

Secretly making a small calculation in his heart, Hua Jue walked into the restaurant while plotting and planning the script, and asked the waiter for help.

Xiao Er told him that Mr. Qiu was in private room No. [-] on the second floor. Hua Zhuo cleared his mind and went upstairs. When he reached the door of the private room, he was about to knock on the door, but he heard a voice from inside. It seemed that someone was arguing. .

Hua Zhuo took a step back and looked up to see what was written on it - it was number three.So Fu leaned close to the door again, wanting to hear what was being said inside.

The arguing in the room became louder, and someone slapped the table with a "bang", with a hint of anger in his voice, he asked coldly, "You dare to tell me that you didn't write this?"

The room was quiet for a while, and then Qiu Huaiyu's unbelievable voice came, saying: "Hey, why is this in your hands?"

The man sneered and said, "Otherwise, who do you think is the person who wrote you back?"

Qiu Huaiyu was startled at first, then gritted his teeth and stared at him, "You..."

"Originally, Lin Qiu wrote you a reply in person." Ji Xiao looked at him coldly, and said mockingly, "But do you know what he wrote?"

Huazhu outside the door widened her eyes.

Ji Xiao paused word by word, "It's exactly the opposite of what my letter meant."

Qiu Huaiyu suddenly became angry and couldn't speak.

"And this jade pendant is yours too." Ji Xiao threw the jade pendant in front of him with a "clang" and looked at him ironically, "Do you know that the reason why I still reply to you is just to test It's just your purpose. But I didn't expect you to have known Lin Qiu for so long, yet you didn't recognize his handwriting, so you fell for me so easily... It's ridiculous."

Qiu Huaiyu laughed back angrily, and said, "I can't recognize it? Heh, do you know how many letters he wrote to me before? I can't recognize his handwriting? When I got this letter, I asked someone to I've inquired, if I hadn't heard that his handwriting did change after amnesia, and I didn't have time to make more plans, do you think I would be easily fooled by you?!"

Amnesia, will even handwriting change?

Qiu Huaiyu squinted his eyes, and continued, "Actually, what I did was just to give it a go. I had already expected that this would probably not work out. I just wrote to him as a friend. Naturally the best, if you fail, you can't do anything to me."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Huaiyu turned to ridicule again: "But in the end, isn't your purpose the same as mine? You married him only for the Heavenly Sword. I was determined to obtain that sword in the first place. If it wasn't for God's will to trick people , If he had an accident, how could it be your turn to take advantage of it?"

"If you think about it this way, Lin Qiu is a pitiful person." Qiu Huaiyu sneered, "If you really wait for you to get the Tianyi sword, his life will not be so easy, right?"

"It's none of your business." Ji Xiao's face was gloomy, he didn't intend to talk nonsense with him, and said coldly, "I came this time to give you a final warning, if there is a next time, it won't be like last time It’s as simple as breaking a leg like the last martial arts competition!”

Qiu Huaiyu stared at him with an ugly expression.

"Your guests have been waiting outside the door for a long time, so I won't accompany you any longer." Ji Xiaoleng glanced at him, ignored him, turned around and walked out.

Qiu Huaiyu was so depressed that he didn't have time to remember what other guests he had invited.Huazhu outside the door suddenly came to his senses when he heard the words, turned around and tried to run to the stairs.

Ji Xiao opened the door, his eyes were startled, and his tone unconsciously flustered, "Lin Qiu?"

Hua Zhuo suddenly stopped in her tracks, her entire body stiffened.

When Ji Xiao came over, he saw his face clearly, and looked at him for a moment with a shocked expression.

Hua Zhuo stared at him stiffly, his heart was at war with heaven and man.

After a while, Ji Xiaofang hesitated and said, "We... have we met somewhere?"

Hua Zhuo was awakened instantly by a word.

What I am using now is not Lin Qiu's appearance!

So he quickly shook his head in denial.

Ji Xiao shifted his gaze to his colorful clothes.

Ji Xiao was silent for a while, and didn't ask any more questions. He closed his eyes, took a step aside to let the road out, and said calmly, "Excuse me."

Hua Zhuo was tense, and moved downstairs under Ji Xiao's gaze. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he quickly slipped into the crowd and disappeared quickly.

As soon as he left on the front foot, Qiu Huaiyu came out of the room on the back foot, his face still angry and ugly, and asked: "Lin Qiu is here?"

"No." Ji Xiao glanced at him, and asked back seemingly inadvertently, "What is he doing here?"

Qiu Huaiyu hesitated to speak, his face became more and more ugly, he didn't want to talk to him, turned around and entered the room, and closed the door with a "bang".

Later, Hua Zhuo came back. In order to avoid being discovered, he went to the tailor shop and changed his clothes. Thinking about the conversation between Ji Xiao and Qiu Huaiyu in the restaurant, he was still a little uneasy.

Ji Xiao was sitting in the room drinking tea, when he saw him coming in, his eyes seemed to stay on him for a while, and then moved away unnaturally, saying: "You're back?"

Hua Zhuo responded and sat down by the window.

Ji Xiao asked again: "Where did you go?"

Hua Zhuo followed what she said before, and replied, "Shopping."

Ji Xiao didn't speak, and the room fell into silence for a moment.

Hua Zhuo was wondering whether to say something, and was about to say something, when he heard Ji Xiao speak suddenly, his tone was not sure if it was an illusion, but he seemed to be cautious, and said: "I went to Zuixiaolou to find Qiu Huaiyu today. , there was an anonymous letter sent to you by him before, do you know about it?"

The alarm bell in Hua Zhuo's heart rang loudly, she straightened her body, thinking that what was supposed to come was indeed coming, she looked at Ji Xiao as quietly as a chicken, without making a sound.

Seeing that he was silent, Ji Xiao stroked the rim of the cup inlaid with gold thread with his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't intend to check your letter, and I only read that one, because Wanqing Villa has strict rules and regulations, such letters with unknown sources will definitely be intercepted, and I will have to go through them."

Ji Xiao continued to explain: "Originally I didn't intend to take care of your letter, so that letter was delivered to you. But later I learned that the person who sent the letter was Qiu Huaiyu, so I replied on my own initiative for you. , do you... blame me?"

Hua Zhuo froze for a moment, feeling unbelievable for a moment.

He didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime? !

"You... you know this, don't you get angry?" Hua Zhuo asked in surprise.

Ji Xiao paused for a moment, and gave an indistinct "hmm".

In fact, it's already over.

Hua Zhuo was relieved a little, he was worried that Ji Xiao would get angry because of this, so he coughed lightly, and covered it up: "It's nothing, it's just a letter, I don't really care about it."

Ji Xiao nodded, his eyes seemed to relax.

Hua Zhuo rubbed his nose and said, "But...why did you suddenly mention this to me?"

Since he didn't come to inquire about the crime, then he did this kind of thing in private, so it's fine to keep him from knowing.

Ji Xiao took a deep look at him, and said, "I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable knowing what you believed, so I wanted to tell you the whole story."

Hua Zhuo smiled dryly, pretending to be relaxed, "How would I know if you didn't tell me about this kind of thing."

Ji Xiao looked at him indifferently, "What if."

Hua Zhuo choked for a moment, then pretended not to know, and asked to cover up: "Then why did you find him today?"

Ji Xiao said calmly: "Go and warn him, let him stop thinking about you again."

Hua Jue let out an awkward "Oh".

The room became quiet for a moment, and the atmosphere became a little delicate.

Hua Zhuo blinked, and changed the subject: "Then what... I went to the teahouse today to listen to the book for a while, the one at Dongjiekou, the old gentleman there tells a good story, I will take you to listen to it tomorrow?"

Ji Xiao paused for a moment, and said, "Yes."

"The materials of Yuxiufang are also good. There are a lot of beautiful designs and colors. When I leave, I will take a few back." Hua Zhuo said.

Ji Xiao continued to respond: "Yes."

"The wine shop on the West Street has started to make Chungu drunk. It is said that it will only be sold in winter, and I will bring two jars with me when I go back." Huazhuo seemed to be talking.

"Okay." Ji Xiao responded patiently one sentence at a time.

In the evening, when the two of them came back from the front hall after eating, the round moon in the courtyard was glowing with a cold color, and there was a slight bit of chill in the cold wind. Qinglan City is more beautiful than Qiujiang City located in the south It's colder, Hua Zhuo has to put on a coat at night, and stay indoors.

It was rare for Ji Xiao to have nothing to do, so he stayed in the room with him, sitting in front of the table and flipping through old books that Lin Qiu had read before.

The books here are different from the ones he used to read in the past. There are poems and songs, as well as literary classics, which are the things that typical scholars love to read.Ji Xiao flipped through the notes that Lin Qiu had recorded above, and could clearly see that the handwriting was indeed different from the current one, and it was completely written by two people.

After flipping through for a while, Ji Xiao closed the pages of the book, pondered for a moment, looked up at Huazhu who was holding the box and playing with counting beads, and suddenly said: "I remember you mentioned your name before? "

Hua Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and said: "Well, I said it casually, what's wrong?"

Ji Xiao narrowed his eyes and said: "It's very pleasant to hear. And...you are a scholar and you are married, so you can indeed get a name earlier."

Hua Zhuo hesitated for a moment, and was about to ask him why he suddenly remembered this, when he heard Ji Xiao ask: "What's the word?"

"Chengyan." Hua Zhuo answered him, and added without shame, "Yan is like Shunhua's Yan."

Ji Xiao nodded, and praised without sincerity: "Good words."

"Then I'll call you that from now on." Ji Xiao's voice was as calm as water, sitting in front of the table and looking up at him, the soft candlelight traced the outline of the face, reflected in the eyes as if there were stars, and said in a deep voice , "Cheng Yan."

Hua Zhuo (with head held high): The vest is still there, so it's safe!

Ji Xiao (perfunctory): Yes.

……

Caught off guard off the horse, surprised or not.
