Lin Rufei laughed, and seeing the anger on Qi Yansheng's face, she suppressed the smile on her lips, after a dry cough, she pretended that nothing happened, and said, "How could you think of doing this kind of thing? thing."
Qi Yansheng said: "It's not that Meng Lanruo is to blame - but he doesn't know the technique of Yansheng, and I hope Young Master Lin will keep it a secret."
Lin Rufei nodded: "This is natural."
The two chatted all night, and the morning light was already shining outside the window. Lin Rufei was a little sleepy after drinking, so she said goodbye to Qi Yansheng and went back to her room to rest.
After making up for a morning's sleep, it wasn't until noon that Fu Hua called him to eat. Lin Rufei rubbed her head, which was aching from the hangover, and said, "How is Meng Lanruo now?"
Fu Hua replied, "I asked the servant of Meng's house just now, and said that Young Master Meng was still in the room and refused to come out, but he was already willing to eat, and he slept last night."
If you are willing to eat and sleep, then there should be no serious problems. Lin Rufei felt a little relieved when she heard the words. After he had eaten, he went to Meng Lanruo's resting room, and saw the young son of the Meng family slumped on the bed, lying down with big letters, with a lifeless expression on his face, but the candied plums beside him always spoiled the atmosphere. , especially when he grabbed one from time to time and stuffed it into his mouth angrily.
Seeing Lin Rufei come in, Meng Lanruo's body wriggled, turning her head like a worm, and she called out in a long voice, "Lin... lord... son..."
Lin Rufei said, "What?"
Meng Lanruo pursed her lips and said, "Eat plums..."
Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Have you eaten well? After eating so many plums, be careful of your stomachache."
Meng Lanruo muttered, "Eating early, my sister threatened me that if I didn't eat, I would use it. She really did it."
Lin Rufei chuckled lightly.
Meng Lanruo sat up slowly and said, "Young Master Lin, are you leaving?"
Lin Rufei nodded. In fact, he had planned to leave a long time ago. If it wasn't for Meng Lanruo's sudden accident, he would have left Meng's house now. Now that he knew that Qi Yansheng had no ill will towards Meng Lanruo, it would be meaningless for him to stay here. Besides, this is a private matter of the Meng family. It is not good for him to be involved too much by an outsider.
Meng Lanruo was listless and said, "Oh, I really don't want you to leave, Xiaoyu is gone, you are gone too, my days are over again..."
Lin Rufei said, "Go back?"
Meng Lanruo said, "Yes." He said that before Xiao Yu came, his life was a stagnant pool, very boring, and the biggest fun was to sneak out of Xinzhou City behind his family, but unfortunately he did it all at once. No success. Later, he had a knot in his heart, and he became seriously ill because of it. Before his illness was healed, he met Xiao Yu, who had just arrived in Xinzhou, in the flower building. From then on, he fell in love with her at first sight and at second sight.
The more Lin Rufei listened, the more strange her expression became. Fortunately, Meng Lanruo was still so engrossed in his story that she didn't notice Lin Rufei's strangeness.
"I've never seen a woman who is so agreeable to Xiao Yu." Meng Lanruo recalled her sweet memories, "She has a gentle personality, and she doesn't get impatient when I listen to small things, and she looks so beautiful... Once upon a time All the girls you meet need to be coaxed and petted, but Xiao Yu is so different!"
Lin Rufei thought that it was different. People treated you as their son, so how could she be impatient.
Unexpectedly, after Meng Lanruo finished speaking, she was provoked by sadness again, so she burst into tears, wiping her tears and said sadly: "But why is she... why... is it better for her to be dead with me? Are you happy?"
This should have been tragic, but Lin Rufei, who knew the truth, had a hard time empathizing with Meng Lanruo. After listening for a long time, she could only say, "Perhaps she has other difficulties?"
"What's the difficulty?" Meng Lanruo burst into tears.
Lin Rufei: "Just..." He thought about it for a long time, and then squeezed out a sentence, "I just don't want to live anymore?"
Meng Lanruo burst into tears.
Lin Rufei was overwhelmed by his crying, so she repeatedly comforted her. Meng Lanruo cried for a long time before she stopped, but she was still sobbing, grieved and aggrieved, like a poor little girl who was bullied.
Lin Rufei was helpless, so she could only hand him a handkerchief next to her, thinking that she must never mention the name Xiaoyu in front of Meng Lanruo in the future.
However, although Meng Lanruo was sad, her condition was much better than in the past few days. Lin Rufei guessed that in a few days, he should come out of the grief of Xiao Yu's death.
The matter was almost over, and Lin Rufei planned to leave Meng Mansion.
The Meng House held a farewell banquet for him, wishing him a smooth journey.
The last night spent in Meng Mansion, Lin Rufei was lying on the bed but tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Gu Xuan saw him like this and asked, "Why, can't sleep?"
Lin Rufei showed half of her face and looked at Gu Xuandu with bright eyes.
Gu Xuandu actually understood: "Qi Yansheng is accompanying Meng Lanruo right now, not in the house."
Lin Rufei said, "Will it be inappropriate?"
Gu Xuandu said calmly: "It's definitely not appropriate to be discovered, and it's appropriate to not be seen."
Lin Rufei immediately sat up from the bed without even putting on her coat. She hurriedly put on her shoes and went out. Gu Xuan saw how funny he looked, so she took the coat for Lin Rufei and followed him out to put it on his shoulders. superior,
When they arrived at Qi Yansheng's residence, Gu Xuandu easily helped Lin Rufei to unlock the door, and Lin Rufei walked in and walked into the bedroom.
Qi Yansheng really wasn't at home, but the wardrobe, like yesterday, was making a slight noise, and there seemed to be living things inside.
Lin Rufei walked to the wardrobe, hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and pushed it, the wardrobe door opened in response, revealing a black wooden door. There was no lock on the wooden door. Lin Rufei was about to stretch out her hand to open the wooden door, but was stopped by Gu Xuandu.
"Come on, this door has the art of loathing victory attached to it. It's not very good for ordinary people to touch it." Gu Xuandu said and held the handle, only to see that when his hand was attached, a wisp of black smoke rose from the handle. came out, and then quickly dissipated.
Behind the wooden door was a dark passage. Lin Rufei saw this and stepped into it.
The passage is very long and tortuous. There is a dim light at the end. Lin Rufei walked forward slowly, but was reminded several times by Gu Xuan. She learned that there were many troublesome traps buried in the passage, although she would not want to. Human life, but at least it will cause people to lose consciousness.
Lin Rufei finally came to the end. With the dim light, he saw the scene at the end of the tunnel. It was a wide stone house with many tall cabinets and some strange looking things. They knew that this should be the place where Qi Yansheng performed the art of Yansheng. Lin Rufei's eyes were quickly attracted by the objects in the corner. There were neatly arranged dolls in a row. The dolls were all carved out of wood, from small to large, neatly arranged.
And the most amazing thing is that these dolls look very similar to Meng Lanruo, almost like they were carved out of a mold.
The sound that I heard outside just now became clearer and clearer. It came from a cabinet next to it. Now that I got closer, the abnormal sound became clearer and clearer. The cabinet was very large and was painted with vermilion lacquer. Gu Xuan cast his gaze at Lin Rufei, who nodded at him.
"Open." Gu Xuandu raised his hand and opened the door.
The cabinet door was opened, and Lin Rufei was stunned when she saw what was inside. It turned out to be a doll just like Meng Lanruo, but she was much more mature than Meng Lanruo, and her cheeks had completely disappeared. The young man's immature, the lines become clean and neat, this man is not carved out of wood, the skin completely has the touch of a human, and the most striking thing is his chest.
The chest of the doll was opened, revealing an empty heart, and a beating blood-red heart embedded in the very center. At first, the heart looked bloody and ferocious, but after a closer look, it turned out that it was actually a stone texture. of.
People will grow up gradually, but plants and trees will not. However, Meng Lanruo, who died, has successfully grown from a young child to a teenager. As his years continue to pass, he needs a more mature body.
Lin Rufei was stunned. He clearly noticed that the heart-turned stone on Meng Lanruo's chest had a clear Chinese character engraved on it.
Qi Yan wins... Xiao Yu... Qi Yu.
It's a good name, Lin Rufei laughed.
The doubts she had been worrying about were answered. Lin Rufei closed the cabinet door, turned to leave, and said, "This Qi Yansheng is really interesting."
Gu Xuandu said, "Interesting?"
Lin Rufei said, "People who have a lot of secrets and are knowledgeable and interesting are always interesting."
Gu Xuandu said, "Do you feel it?"
Lin Rufei turned her head to look at him and smiled, "So what if I feel it, I won't even hang the bait on the fishing rod, why should I bite?"
Gu Xuan laughed.
But there is a saying, what Qi Yansheng said makes sense. Everyone has some secrets. As long as these secrets don't hurt others and keep them, they will make this person interesting.
No one doesn't like interesting people, so does Lin Rufei.
Qi Yansheng, who was chatting with Meng Lanruo, felt something, and thought that this young master of the Lin family really didn't want to go to the end and wouldn't give up.
Also, the things he said were all his own words. Lin Rufei was worried, it was normal.
"Hurry up, it's your turn." Meng Lanruo urged, "What are you thinking?"
Qi Yansheng dropped a piece and said angrily, "Where does the next Gobang come from so much interest."
Meng Lanruo patted the table: "I'm not good at Go!"
Qi Yansheng said, "I can teach you."
Meng Lanruo sneered: "I can't even win Gobang, what's the use of teaching me Go, don't think I don't know that you want to use Go to insult me!!"
Qi Yansheng covered his face with a long sigh, thinking in his heart that this young master of the Meng family clearly has three souls and seven souls, why does he seem to be missing a heart.
On the third day, Lin Rufei got into the carriage and planned to leave.
But what made him very strange was that he didn't see Meng Lanruo until he left the Meng Mansion. He thought that Meng Lanruo would cry again because of his separation, but who knew that Zhuyin was embarrassed and looked at Lin Ru. Fei said that Meng Lanruo was afraid that she would cry again when she met him, so she did not come out to see him off, and asked Lin Rufei to take care of herself all the way. If you have time, remember to send him more letters.
Lin Rufei felt strange when she heard the words, but she thought it was Meng Lanruo's fear of seeing the parting longmian, so she didn't think much about it, and turned around and got into the carriage.
Fu Hua drove the car and whipped the whip, and the carriage drove out of Meng Mansion, all the way to the outside of Xinzhou City.
However, just as he was about to leave the city, Gu Xuan, who had never appeared, suddenly appeared and said, "Don't rush out for the carriage."
Lin Rufei: "Huh?"
Gu Xuandu said, "Wait at the gate of the city."
Lin Rufei was about to ask what to wait when she heard Qi Yansheng's anxious voice from outside the carriage, from far and near: "Lin Gongzi—wait a minute—"
Lin Rufei lifted the curtain of the car and saw Qi Yansheng Yujian coming, her face was pale, as if she was greatly frightened.
Lin Rufei said, "Young Master Qi?"
Qi Yansheng stopped in front of the carriage, holding a sword in one hand, and shouted, "Get out!"
Lin Rufei had a look of surprise on her face, and she was still thinking that Qi Yansheng had taken the wrong medicine for such an attitude towards him, when she saw a disgraced man emerge from under the carriage. It was Meng Lanruo, who should have been obediently in Meng's house.
Meng Lanruo tied her hair and changed into casual clothes, carrying a large package on her back, and called out embarrassingly, "Shengsheng, why are you here?"
Hearing this Shengsheng, everyone's expressions were a little subtle. Yurui was young and couldn't help but laughed out loud.
"Where are you going?" Qi Yansheng sneered as if he didn't hear it.
Meng Lanruo said in a low voice, "Aren't you worried that I'm going to be in trouble? I'll be safe if I go with Young Master Lin, you don't have to worry, I and Young Master Lin are good brothers, and he will definitely not dislike my oil bottle. of."
Lin Rufei: "..." This kid.
Qi Yansheng said angrily, "Tell this to your mother again."
Meng Lanruo covered her ears conditionedly and cried, "Qi Yansheng, do you still have a conscience? We have been friends for so many years, can't you fulfill my little wish? Yu made an agreement that she must visit the rivers and lakes. Now that Xiao Yu is gone, I just want to fulfill her last wish and go out of Xinzhou City to visit her hometown. She has been away from home for so many years and has suffered so much. , Leaving Xinzhou City was her only wish before her death!"
These remarks were touching, and a layer of water light floated in Fu Hua Yurui's eyes.
However, Qi Yansheng's expression was slightly distorted, and he said coldly, "You fart." What did Xiao Yu say before he died, would he not know? This kid really came with his mouth open, and he didn't hit the roof for three days!
Meng Lanruo said weakly, "How can you speak swear words?"
Qi Yansheng: "I said you fart!"
Meng Lanruo immediately burst into tears.
Seeing that he was crying, Qi Yansheng did not soften his heart at all. He raised his hand and grabbed his ear just like Madam Meng. Meng Lanruo forgot to cry when it hurt, and said anxiously, "How can you grab my ear, only me Parents can pull my ears!"
Qi Yansheng gritted his teeth: "I am your reborn parent!"
Meng Lanruo: "Wow, you son of a bitch, it's time for you, you haven't forgotten to take advantage of me!"
The parting scene that would have been a little sad was turned into a comedy by Meng Lanruo. In the end, Meng Lanruo, who was grinning and screaming, was pulled back by Qi Yansheng. Before going back, he begged Lin Rufei to help him, but Lin Rufei didn't say a word, just smiled and waved to him, signaling to go all the way.
Qi Yansheng also nodded at Lin Rufei, if Lin Rufei's carriage was not delayed for some time at the city gate, Meng Lanruo would have really been taken out.
The carriage set off again, and Lin Rufei finally left Xinzhou City.
Next, he plans to follow the Canglan River all the way down, cross Xiliang Mountain, and go to see the prosperous Central Plains that he has never seen before.
After a few days in the carriage, Lin Rufei received a letter from Meng Lanruo. The letter was as rambling as his people, and it was full of trivial matters the size of sesame seeds. He seemed to know that he had no focus, so he also used cinnabar brushstrokes to draw it. A horizontal line is displayed to indicate that this is particularly important. As for the important thing, Lin Rufei laughed outright after seeing it.
It turned out that Meng Lanruo, who failed to escape that day, was grabbed by Qi Yansheng's ear and returned to Meng's house. He was crying and immediately went to his mother to sue Qi Yansheng for his scolding, saying that Qi Yansheng had to grab his ear, obviously not. Elders, but bullying themselves like this.
After listening to this, Mother Meng felt very reasonable, and said she wanted to talk to Qi Yansheng alone.
Meng Lanruo felt that her mother was trying to find a place for her, so she went out arrogantly, but half an hour later, Meng Lanruo was called back by the kind-hearted mother Meng.
"Mr. Qi has been in our house for almost ten years." Mother Meng said, "If what you said makes sense, he is indeed disciplining you like your elders."
Meng Lanruo listened happily, thinking that Mother Meng's next sentence was to criticize Qi Yansheng for being too Meng Lang, but Mother Meng said softly: "If that's the case, you should just recognize him as a foster father."
Meng Lanruo's bright smile froze on his face.
Qi Yansheng sat beside him and drank tea quietly. Hearing this, he smiled at Meng Lanruo with the same kind smile as Meng's mother.
"What??? What??? Mother, are you serious?" Meng Lanruo thought he had heard it wrong, he pointed at Qi Yansheng in disbelief, and then pointed at himself in disbelief, "He? My foster father. ?"
Mother Meng nodded.
Meng Lanruo's eyes were about to pop out, and she wanted to grab her mother's shoulder and shake it heavily to shake the water out of her mother's brain. But Meng Lanruo soon discovered that it seemed that he was the only one who was still awake in Meng Mansion, and everyone agreed with Meng's mother's proposal.
"Although Young Master Qi was born young, he is actually older than his father, so it's okay to be your adoptive father." Meng Youyue smiled and persuaded her brother, who was about to collapse, "Don't you always think that he cares about your reputation? Isn't it okay, now it's alright, he is your foster father, it's normal to take care of you."
Meng Lanruo lifted a stone and smashed his foot, not only smashed, but almost broke his own foot. He howled in the house for a long time, but no one paid attention, only Qi Yansheng came to give him a cup of tea. .
Meng Lanruo said, "What kind of ecstasy did you give my mother and them!"
Qi Yansheng: "Didn't you all ask for it?"
Meng Lanruo was so angry that she almost fainted.
Meng Lanruo still wants to struggle, but the overall situation has been decided. Meng Mansion even hosted a lot of guests for this, and everyone didn't mind his objection.
"After all, the beloved girl passed away, so it's right to be sad."
"Yeah, thanks to Master Qi for comforting the young master of the Meng family."
"But how old is this young master Qi?"
"I don't know, it is said that he is older than the Meng family master, but his appearance has not changed after ten years, so he must have passed the five realms long ago... he can be regarded as a teenager!"
"Then this righteous father is a good one."
Meng Lanruo was in complete despair, and spent the whole night scolding Qi Yansheng, the bastard, in her room, and she also talked about Xiao Yu, who she missed, until dawn and fell asleep in a daze. So I don't know, Qi Yansheng came to his room early in the morning,
Qi Yansheng looked at Meng Lanruo's sleeping face, smiled, raised his hand and pulled the quilt up, covering Meng Lanruo's body.
This young master always thought that Xinzhou was boring, so he tried every means to find some fun for him, whether it was Xiaoyu or Hualou, as long as he could keep him here, he would do it. Lin Rufei is a good companion. If he can, he also wants to keep him, until Meng Lanruo is tired of it, and it will not be too late to let him go.
It's just a pity that Lin Rufei's identity is not simple, not the frail and sickly son of the Lin family as rumored, Lin Rufei hides a secret even he can't understand, Qi Yansheng didn't do anything in the end.
If Meng Lan is his most perfect work, he naturally wants to give him the best of everything.
In addition to leaving, as long as Meng Lanruo wants, he will do his best to help him get it. Meng Lanruo read the book and talked about the oiran and the scholar in the book. In the flower building, a girl named Xiao Yu appeared. Unfortunately, he couldn't give him a complete arena.
For some people, where there are people is the rivers and lakes, but in the eyes of the young master of the Meng family, only the places away from Xinzhou City are the rivers and lakes.
As a human being, unsatisfactory things are eight or nine out of ten.
Qi Yansheng looked at Meng Lanruo who was sleeping soundly, smiled, then got up and walked out slowly.
The sunshine outside is just right, the showers are beginning to clear, the spring has faded, and the summer flavor is getting stronger. After two seasons, it will be another cycle of four seasons. The young boy in the house has also reached the age of the crown, and it is time to grow up.
Lin Rufei read Meng Lanruo's letters to him, carefully folded them, and put them in her purse. Just after reaching into the purse, there was a hint of hesitation on his face, then he opened the purse, looked at it carefully, and said, "It seems that something is missing?"
"What's missing?" Fu Hua asked.
"I don't know." Lin Rufei thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think of it. She only felt that the purse seemed to be a little looser, but the money was still there.
This purse is filled with mortal things, and Lin Rufei didn't carry it with her. She left it in the house most of the time, and only used it when she occasionally went out shopping and needed to buy some mortal things.
Fuhua and Yurui naturally didn't know what Lin Rufei's purse was missing, and Lin Rufei couldn't remember it, but Gu Xuan knew it clearly, and said slowly, "I'm missing a sneaky talisman."
Lin Rufei: "Huh?"
Gu Xuandu: "You bought it with half a spirit stone in the market of Kunlun Mountain."
Lin Rufei: "..." He remembered it!
Gu Xuandu said: "It seems that the young master of the Meng family found it."
Lin Rufei didn't expect it to be so coincidental, and sighed, "Is it because I indirectly killed Xiao Yu?"
Gu Xuandu said: "If you die, you will die, then Qi Yansheng can create a Xiaoyu, and maybe a Xiaoqi will be created in a few days."
Lin Rufei said, "Xiao Qi's name is too obvious."
Gu Xuandu: "What's that called?"
Lin Rufei: "I think Xiaowen is good."
A year later, in Meng Mansion.
Meng Lanruo, who had been withered for a long time because of Xiao Yu's death and the recognition of a "thief" as his father, rushed in from outside the house and said to his mother excitedly, "Mother! I saw a very beautiful man outside. What a heroic heroine!"
Qi Yansheng sat next to Mother Meng drinking tea, and when she heard the words, she showed a loving smile.
Meng Lanruo said: "Everything is good, but the name is a bit ugly, like Xiaowen."
Qi Yansheng smiled slightly.
Meng Lanruo: "It's worse than Qi Yansheng."
Qi Yansheng said, "..." Meng Lanruo, wait for me.
The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: This is a kind of fun.
Lin Rufei: Interesting
Gu Xuandu: I think you should call me another name to make our relationship one step closer than Meng Lanruo and the others.
Lin Rufei thought about it for a long time and said tentatively: Sun... grandson
Gu Xuandu: ... (Is your approach not right???)
