Nirvana In Fire

Chapter 2: Jiang Zuo Meilang

Views:

In August and the fifteenth month of the Ming Dynasty, some families are happy and some are sad.

However, in the eyes of all the living beings, such as the Xie Zhuo family, Zhongming Dingding and rich people, of course, only have joy and no worries.

Because they have a son in common, the two families have more exchanges and deeper feelings. After the eldest master of the Zhuo family and Miss Xie married a year ago, they are as close as a family. Naturally, the Mid-Autumn Festival will take turns to spend with one of them. This year, it's Xie's turn.

Zhuo Qingyao, the eldest son of Zhuo's father, has always had the demeanor of an eldest brother. Not only his own family, but also the Xie family's children listened to his words. He really took care of every younger sibling very carefully, which reassured parents. . For Xiao Jingrui, who hadn't come back until the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was the one who worried the most.

While strolling restlessly in the back garden, the two family members who were sent to meet Xiao Jingrui at the gate of the city hurriedly entered the back garden with a look of panic and panic on their faces. At first glance, they knew that they had brought bad news. , making Zhuo Qingyao's heart skip a beat.

"What happened to Jing Rui? What happened?"

The two family members bowed and kowtowed, but did not directly answer the master's question, but said with a trembling voice: "There is news from Xunyang that the girl Piao Liao from Yun Xuantang... is engaged..."

At the same time that Jinling Xie Fu received the report, the news that Yun Piao Liao had been ordered for life has spread all over the world like an explosion.

But Xiao Jingrui didn't need anyone to tell him, because he was there when the incident happened.

Yun's medicine shed is located in the largest open space in Xunyang City. A long black wooden table with a blue cloth cushion on it. The medical seekers come to the doctor in the order of the queuing number. She will take the pulse of each person carefully, ask the symptoms gently, check the complexion, and finally issue a prescription, and let the patient go to the shed next door to receive the medicine according to the prescription.

Xiao Jingrui also stood about ten steps in front of the clinic as usual, watching Yun Piao Liao's every move. If Miss Yun would look up at him and smile at him during the interval between diagnosis and treatment, he would be happy all day.

There were a lot of people who came to see a doctor this day. Yun Piao Liao was so busy that she didn’t even have time to take a sip of water. The black hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat and stuck to her fair cheeks, which made Xiao Jingrui feel distressed and even more Adore.

The medicine stored in the medicine shed was quickly subcontracted and sent out, and the bottom was soon seen. Fortunately, the medicinal materials ordered by the Yun family in advance had just been transported into the city, and before they could be put into the warehouse, they were directly pulled to the site where the medicine was applied. .

There are five full carts, carefully packaged with tissue paper, giving off a strong medicinal fragrance. Yun Piao Liao was the host of the scene, so he paused the pulse diagnosis, got up and arranged for the medicine boy to unload the truck, and put the herbal packages one by one into the classified high cabinet of the medicine shed, and then turned around to thank the herbal medicine dealer who came by the car.

When their eyes met, the expressions of the two were shocked.

After a long period of silence, Yun Piao Liao spoke first and said in a low voice, "Are you here?" When she said these three words, her beautiful eyes were slightly red, and tears were flowing like soft water plants. Light.

A faint smile appeared on the face of the young herbalist. He was originally a country youth with a very ordinary appearance, with a simple temperament with a bit of dullness, and his eyes and expressions lacked aura. However, with this smile, his entire face suddenly lit up, as if reborn, and instantly filled with seductive attraction.

Yun Piao Liao raised a hand and put it in the man's hand. The ten fingers slowly intertwined, and finally they were tightly clasped together, as if a knife and fire could not separate them again.

Yun Chuyue, the current head of the Yun family, stepped forward from behind the shed and looked at the pair of men and women with a very calm expression.

"Father," Yun Piao Liao smiled and turned around, "it's him."

"Okay," Yun Chuyue nodded, "It's better to hit the sun if you choose a day. Let's get engaged today."

"Yes." Yun Piao Liao responded, without the shyness of a worldly daughter on her face, she looked back and smiled. The young man was neither frightened nor irritable, and An An gave the salute of the younger generation, his expression was always light and sincere, just like the breeze in the moon.

The bystanders were already dumbfounded at this time. They didn't wake up until the young man and Yun Chuyue went to the back of the shed to sort the medicinal materials, and Yun Piao Liao sat back to the original position and ordered to continue the diagnosis. Come, and exclaim.

During the whole process, Yun Piao Liao never thought of taking a look at Xiao Jingrui. The place where he had been standing.

Yan Yujin sometimes feels a little sorry for Xiao Jingrui, because it was because he had a serious illness nine years ago that Yan Fu invited Yun Piaolian to come to Jinling City for a doctor, and Xiao Jingrui first saw this woman who took his soul.

Xiao Jingrui was fifteen years old that year, and his stature was still not high, and he was a little thin. Because his good friend was seriously ill, he hid under the rain porch sadly and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, a silk handkerchief was handed over, and in place of his brand-new brocade sleeves, it gently printed the water marks on his face.

The eyes washed with tears were exceptionally clear, reflecting the figure of the light woman with long hair in plain clothes in front of her, and suddenly she felt the surrounding scenery was hazy, as if she had drifted into a fairyland.

"Are you the young master of Yanfu? Stop crying, your brother is fine, Sister Yun will cure him." Yun Piaolian comforted her softly, even though she had mistaken Xiao Jingrui's identity.

Xiao Jingrui's heartbeat couldn't help but suddenly accelerated a lot. The thumping elephant was carrying a lively little rabbit. Thinking that this beautiful sister must have found her excitement, her face turned red again.

At this time, the maid of Yanfu came over and asked Yun Piao Liao to go to the guest room to rest. She put the silk handkerchief in Xiao Jingrui's hand, patted his shoulder lightly with her slender and graceful hand, and turned to leave.

"This sister..." Xiao Jingrui blurted out a shout, but when Yun Piaolian heard the sound and looked back, his face turned redder and his voice became more urgent, "I... I'm not from Yanfu, my name is Xiao Jingrui... You remember , it's Xiao Jingrui..."

Yun Piao Liao's expression was momentarily surprised, but it immediately dissipated, turning into a gentle and tranquil smile, so beautiful that it took one's breath away.

For the rest of the day, Xiao Jingrui had been sitting next to the railing under the rain porch, hugging her knees, feeling the slight fragrance left by her in the air, and she couldn't hold anything in her mind other than the slender figure. The attendants came and asked and asked, but he ignored them and brought food, but he didn't eat a single bite.

In the evening, the old housekeeper of Yanfu was a little anxious, wondering what the devil was possessed by this young master. I want to report to the old man and wife, and it is the time when the young master is seriously ill and worried. If he wants to send someone to Xie's house to deliver the letter, Xie Hou and his wife both went to Xidu to accompany the queen mother to worship the incense. When they were in trouble, Xiao Jinghuan passed by. The government is here.

Xiao Jinghuan and Xiao Jingrui sounded like brothers, but of course everyone knew that they were not related by blood. The surname is Xiao, and the character "Jing" is of the generation. Naturally, he is the prince. However, Jinghuan's mother died early, and she was sent to the Central Palace to be raised by Empress Yan when she was a child. She was twenty-two years old at the time, and was highly valued by the emperor. He came to Yanfu to visit Yan Yujin on behalf of the empress. . After entering the door, I first saw Mrs. Yan and his wife, and then went to see the patient. Because I didn't want to cause more trouble, I quickly got up and said goodbye. Before going out, I found that the old housekeeper was in a state of distraction, so I asked casually, and only then did I know that Xiao Jingrui was out. point status.

The servant of Yan's house led the way to the rain corridor, and from a distance, he saw Xiao Jingrui sitting there dumbfounded, not knowing what he was thinking, and his mind was extremely trance. Although Xiao Jinghuan is many years older, but at the emperor's will, he often goes to the imperial study where the princes and the sons are studying to check and take care of him. He knows that Xiao Jingrui has always been a sentimental child, and Su Ri and Yan Yujin have a good relationship, but they may be wrong for a while. Feeling that, he walked over and said softly and comfortingly: "Don't worry, the Yun Family, the sage of the medical sect, has already sent people here, and Yujin is a naughty ghost who hates dead people, and he will not be short-lived, so why should you worry about being like this? ?"

Xiao Jingrui was startled for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, a sense of guilt rushed into his heart.

My good friend who was studying in the imperial study room is still on the verge of death, but here I am fascinated by a sister I just met. I have not thought about him for a long time, and it is too cold. I am very sorry. Yan Yujin.

However, people's feelings are sometimes beyond the control of reason at all. Although he is apologetic, when he returns home that night, what haunts his mind from time to time is the gentle and moving young woman.

Later, Xiao Jingrui saw Yun Piao Liao several times in succession, and also heard from Zhuo Qingyao, the elder brother of Zhuo's family, who had already started to walk in the rivers and lakes, the reason why Yun Ying has not married.

"Past life..." Xiao Jingrui's first moment was a sudden realization, "I understand why I felt that way when I saw her. It turned out that in a previous life... we already made an appointment..."

Zhuo Qingyao knew that letting his younger brother get caught in this way would not have a good result, and he said what he said in his previous life to persuade him, but the effect was just the opposite. Six years old aside, if the person she was waiting for was really you, how could she not recognize it?"

Xiao Jingrui lowered his head and said, "It's my fault, I came too late, it's possible that she doesn't remember clearly..."

Zhuo Qingyao glared at him for a while, but after all, he was older and had more experience. After thinking about it, he slowed down his tone and said slowly, "Miss Yun's temperament is soft and firm, and those who were rejected in the past just need to add a little more. If you are entangled, she will immediately cut off all contacts. You are still young now, and Miss Yun did not show that she recognized you when she saw you. If you want to get close to her too much, I am afraid that it will also make her annoyed. You also don’t want her from this ignore you?"

Xiao Jingrui was stunned, and hurriedly grabbed his elder brother's hand and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"You are a prudent child, don't you understand the principle of restraint with stillness? Stay away, don't be too obsessed, if you want her to like you, you must first become a good man worthy of her liking!"

Zhuo Qingyao's plan to delay the army was to slowly calm down the sudden enthusiasm and impulse of the young man, but unfortunately he underestimated Xiao Jingrui's stubbornness and determination. In the years after that, Xiao Jingrui practiced and practiced martial arts earnestly and honed himself. Not only did he grow a lot taller, but his temperament became more and more calm, completely free from the feeling of immaturity. On the day of his eighteenth birthday, he formally asked his four parents to marry Yun Piao Liao. Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng are both enlightened people, not to mention that Yun Piao Liao has no other shortcomings except that he is six years older, so Ningguo Houfu and Tianquan Villa invited the famous old man Qin Jizi to Xun. Yang said the match, but unfortunately the result was of course rejected.

Sad and disappointed, Xiao Jingrui went to Langya Pavilion alone.

I don't know what question he asked the mysterious pavilion master, and what kind of answer he got. In short, after coming back, he seemed to be a different person. The originally low-key and quiet person was suddenly keen to earn fame in the arena. . He is indispensable for any occasion of fighting for literature and martial arts. In a few months, he challenged and defeated nearly ten first-class famous masters in all corners of the world. His fame has skyrocketed for a while. In addition, he has a distinguished background, a wealthy family, and a good character. He was born extremely well, and naturally he was indisputably on the Langya Young Master List the following year.

When he became a member of the Langya List, Mr. Qin Jizi was entrusted to re-enter Xunyang Yunfu to propose a marriage. This time Yun Chuyue was a little moved, but Yun Piaolian still firmly rejected him.

Although Xiao Jingrui was sad but not discouraged, he still tried his best to stay on the Langya list, and every year he set aside a few months to go to YunpiaoLiao free clinic every year, every time he was not far or near. Watching there, he didn't take the initiative to talk or cause any trouble. Over time, even the beauties he was looking at got used to, and occasionally looked up and smiled at him, or asked his family to bring him a cup of medicinal tea.

After Yan Jinyu recovered from his illness, he found that he had missed the most important turning point in his friend's life. It felt a little strange, but for the sake of his buddy's loyalty, he still accompanied Xiao Jingrui to stand outside the medicine shed a few times, but soon because he felt Tired, silly, and boring, I gave up sullenly, and never went there again.

So when Yun Piao Liao announced her engagement in front of everyone, Xiao Jing Rui was standing there alone, without a relative or a friend.

The setting sun melted gold and the sky was getting darker. When the Yun Family's medicine shed was closed, all the items were picked up. The newly engaged couple arranged the follow-up chores in a tacit understanding and left hand in hand. Gradually, night lights were picked out from the eaves by the roadside, and fewer and fewer pedestrians came and went. At night, the temperature dropped, and there was a slight breeze blowing. The mid-autumn moon is hanging in the dark blue sky, with a round of ice crystals, which is bright and clear.

Xiao Jingrui's long figure dragged on the tidal bluestone slab, only the jacket fluttered. He doesn't know what his current mood is. Is it disappointment, sadness, resentment, or the relief of fulfilling his wish for his sweetheart? His feet were numb from standing, and his chest was numb from pain, but he still didn't want to move a step in the face of the three medicine sheds that had long been empty.

The second drum sounded, and a glazed lamp lit up at the end of the street, and the light drifted softly towards this side until it covered Xiao Jingrui's upright body.

A warm and soft hand reached out and held Xiao Jingrui's arm, a warm and mellow voice sounded in his ear: "Come, come with me..."

Xiao Jingrui slowly turned his eyes, glanced at the person who came, and slowly lowered his head again, silently following the lead of the other party and moving his footsteps.

An ordinary dark cyan carriage was parked on the corner of the street. The man pulled Xiao Jingrui into the car and drove straight to the city gate. It was already curfew time when the city gates were closed, but when the carriage approached silently, the majestic gate opened half a fan without hindrance, and then closed silently again after they went out. After driving out of the city for an hour, I came to a small courtyard surrounded by flowers and trees. The courtyard was bright and soft, and two pretty maids in pink shirts and buns were waiting outside the door.

"Change and bathe Young Master Xiao."

"Yes, Master."

During the whole process, Xiao Jingrui remained stunned, obeying all the arrangements of the other party, and didn't say a word until he changed into silk pajamas and rested against the bedside.

The man moved the lamp and came over, tested Xiao Jingrui's temperature with the back of his hand, and then sighed again.

"That's not possible, you'll get sick. Zhen'er, bring the qin."

"Yes."

The piano platform is set up, the cauldron is fragrant, and there is an extra lamp in the room, which is brighter. The man sat down with his clothes lifted, his fingers lightly lifted, and swiped on the strings like water, and a wisp of piano sound wafted out, lingering between the beams, Xiao Jingrui raised his eyes involuntarily.

The tune after the audition is mournful and natural, as if it were a calm and indifferent conversation, and it also seemed to be a gurgling unruly stream. Although it was calm and unremarkable, it made people feel at a loss in life, evoking infinite lovesickness. , it was difficult to restrain the bitterness and pain, and before I knew it, my heart burst like a flood, and I just wanted to mourn.

When Xiao Jingrui cried and burst into tears, the sound of the piano turned from the climax again, gently playing the tune of spring breeze and willows, with a little melancholy and remorse in the warm warmth, but the sadness in it has calmed down, peaceful and peaceful. Instead, it was like a warm tonic after the stagnation in the chest was exhausted, making people tired gradually, and couldn't help but want to sleep a little after the long chase.

"Give Young Master Xiao two sips of soothing tea." The man instructed while the lingering voice lingered.

"Yes."

Xiao Jingrui's eyes were a little hazy, the celadon tea cup was handed to his lips, and he opened his mouth instinctively, only to feel the tea taste warm and palatable, and soon after entering the mouth, he became more tired and fell on the pillow. Someone covered him with a quilt and whispered, "Go to sleep..."

Although he was in an abnormal mood, Xiao Jingrui could still feel the kindness of the other party. He wanted to say thank you, but he was really tired. He turned over and fell asleep.

Two days later, early in the morning, the official road outside Xunyang City was full of dust and the sound of hoofs was like rain. The two knights were obviously rushing on the road overnight, and their hair was a little messy, but the white horse and dragon foal with embroidered saddles and brocades on their crotch, And the gorgeous robes in cold silk satin still clearly showed the extraordinary identities of these two people.

Therefore, a man in blue who had been waiting at the gate of the city immediately got up and took a step forward, bowed his hand in a salute, and said loudly, "May I ask if it's Master Zhuo of Tianquan Villa and Second Young Master Xie of the Marquis of Ningguo Mansion?"

Zhuo Qingyao and Xie Bi were slightly surprised, their hands tightened, they stopped their mounts, and looked carefully at the person who was talking, but they didn't recognize them.

"Dare to ask who is under your feet?" Zhuo Qingyao asked.

"I'm here to wait for the two of you on the orders of the Patriarch. The Patriarch has something to say, please rest assured, Young Master Xiao stayed at my Patriarch's courtyard for the past two days. It hurts mercilessly, but it will get better after a while. If the two of you are in a hurry, I will lead the way and lead the two to see Young Master Xiao."

"Who is your master..." Xie Bi asked half a sentence, when Zhuo Qingyao grabbed his arm, looked back in confusion, and saw that he gestured with his eyes, and was looking at the man in blue.

There is a small plum blossom embroidered on the Yuebai jacket, if you glance at it hastily, you can hardly see it clearly.

Xie Bi's mind lit up, just as he took a breath, Zhuo Qingyao said loudly, "Your lord sincerely cares for your brother's affection.

The man in blue smiled slightly, and said in return: "These fourteen states on the left side of the Yangtze River are all protected by the patriarch. Usually, the brothers in the rivers and lakes come and go, and the patriarch still has to worry about it, not to mention how noble Mr. Xiao is, if it is in this Xunyang realm What kind of grievance hurts your body, and the head of the family can't be at peace, it's his duty to take care of him a little bit, but Young Master Zhuo doesn't dare to take it when he talks about repaying it."

Xie Bi couldn't help but smile and praised: "As expected, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and they can speak well with one step."

"Thank you, Second Young Master, for your kindness." The man in blue didn't say much, and bowed his hands politely, "Please come with me."

Zhuo Qingyao and Xie Bi urged their mounts, followed behind the man in blue, ran their horses along a not-so-narrow dirt road to the west for about half an hour, and then came to the small courtyard.

The courtyard door was closed, so the man in blue said a word of invitation and let him aside. As soon as Zhuo Qingyao opened the door, he saw his younger brother sitting under a osmanthus tree in the courtyard. Although his face was pale, his expression was still calm. Then he let go of his heart and called out, "Jing Rui!"

Xiao Jingrui glanced back, stood up, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, second brother, why are you here?"

"You still ask us, did you forget what day it was the day before yesterday? Don't you worry about your parents and uncles and aunts if you don't come back on the Mid-Autumn Festival night? You are a stubborn person who won't take you back, our brothers and sisters. Do you still have a good time for a lot?"

Being blamed by his brother, Xiao Jingrui also felt guilty and lowered his head. Xie Bi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Okay, Big Brother Zhuo, don't talk about it, that wordiness is about to catch up with my father. Since Big Brother is all right, let it pass. Let's take a night's rest, and we'll do it tomorrow. Go back to Jinling."

"You're really welcome," Zhuo Qingyao patted him on the head, "Jing Rui has been disturbing others for two days, do you still want to add the two of us?"

"The three young masters don't mind, this other courtyard is originally for entertaining guests, so it won't cause any trouble." Lan Yi, who had been standing quietly beside the courtyard gate, said, "If the three are polite, it will make the owner uneasy. "

Zhuo Qing said in a humble speech: "Your lord is kind, and you will be grateful for your five senses. The brothers will disturb you for another day, and leave tomorrow."

"Everyone, please feel free. Go down and get some supplies, so I won't disturb your conversation." The man in blue was very sensible, so he made an excuse and left in a hurry.

"No matter what he says, it's still a big favor." Zhuo Qingyao glanced back at his brother, "Do you remember who took you in?"

"Although I'm in a bad mood, I don't have amnesia. He personally came to pick me up and make tea for me. How could he not remember who he is?"

"He actually picked you up here in person?" Zhuo Qingyao was a little surprised, "You two know each other before?"

"I've met him a few times. If it wasn't for knowing who he was, why would I just go with him?"

"Hmph, don't imagine that I knew that you must have been in a trance at the time, I'm afraid you will follow whoever picks you up," Zhuo Qing sighed, "Jing Rui, I said earlier that Miss Yun had no relationship with you, you After being obsessed with it for so many years, it's time to give up now, right

Xiao Jingrui's face was pale, and he lowered his head and said nothing for a long time. Xie Bi was only one year apart in age from him. He had always had the best relationship, so he couldn't bear it, and persuaded: "Actually, you have only looked at each other for so many years, resenting more and liking less, but now you have no more thoughts. It's time for you to reset your mind. If you fall into the trap and find it hard to extricate yourself, it won't help others or yourself. If you don't want to go home for a while, I'll accompany you to wander around. Isn't Granny Leishan Ding going to be a hundred years old next month? , Uncle Zhuo has accepted the post, shall we go directly tomorrow?"

After two days of buffering, Xiao Jingrui was still depressed, but his reason finally recovered. Fortunately, Yun Piao Liao has never given him a vague hope, and it will not make people feel resentful. Seeing the brothers so concerned at this time, they do not want to make them more worried, and immediately raised their brows and said: "If Daddy Zhuo has Fate, of course to go."

"It's logical that I should go, but Qi'er is pregnant and her condition has been unstable, so I have to trouble you." Zhuo Qingyao smiled.

Xiao Jingrui thought that his eldest brother had left his pregnant wife to come to see him overnight. He felt warm and ashamed, and said in a low voice, "How is sister Qi?"

"It's fine, you don't have to worry about it."

Xie Bi put his two hands on their shoulders and said, "I wonder if there is wine for sale around here? Even if the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, our brothers should have a few drinks."

Although Xiao Jingrui was not interested, Ya didn't want to spoil her brother's interest, she thought about it and said, "There are two maids and sisters in the backyard, I'll go and ask." Then she turned around.

Xie Bi took the opportunity to look at this small courtyard, and the more he looked, the more he felt that these flowers, trees, herbs, ancient rockery, ancient benches, and flowing water and clear ponds were arranged in a very appropriate manner. He praised: "This ordinary guest house was not set up by him personally, and it is so elegant, it can be seen that this person is extraordinary."

Zhuo Qingyao burst out laughing: "What are you, you are also qualified to judge whether he is an ordinary person? Although I have heard that he is approachable, but when the Shaolin Abbot Master sees that he is still holding the etiquette of the same generation, it is really rude of you to make such a critique. ."

Xie Bi stuck out his tongue, "Anyway, he's not here, just talk about it. In fact, it would be nice if he was really there. We've heard his name for a long time and haven't seen him. If we were fortunate enough to meet him today, we would also chance."

Zhuo Qingyao was about to answer when Xiao Jingrui walked back and said, "The two sisters said that there was wine in the courtyard, and they brought it when they were young."

As soon as he finished speaking, two maidservants with snow-skinned flowers had already walked over with wine utensils and food boxes in their hands, bowed their knees slightly, placed the food on the stone table under the tree, poured three glasses, and said with a smile: "Three Sir, please use it slowly."

When the aroma of the wine first drifted, Xie Bi's expression changed. At this time, he held the glass and sniffed, and his expression was even more stunned.

Zhuo and Xiao know that he loves wine like a madman, and he has done a lot of research on wine. It seems that this is a good wine. Xiao Jingrui is in a bad mood at this time, so he doesn't think so. Zhuo Qingyao is already at the front of the line: " You are also a child of an aristocratic family, you are so greedy, you go home and report to your aunt, but you must discipline you well."

Xie Bi raised his head, his face was already flushed, and he stammered, "But... but... this is Zhaodian Hong..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Xiao and the others were also taken aback.

Zhaodian red, the best wine in the wine, brewed by two hundred years of wine masters picking flowers and fruits in the secluded realm, with a mellow and long-lasting fragrance, there is no such realm for future generations, and there are not many stocks in the world. It is a royal banquet, and it should only be opened on important occasions. One or two bottles were given to relatives and important officials. Rao was the son of Xie Bihou, and the princess only drank a small cup. Unexpectedly, in this small courtyard, there is a maid who casually brings it out to entertain the passing guests, which is naturally surprising.

"Two sisters, it's just ordinary wine and food. This Zhaodian is red, and I haven't seen the owner's promise, so I don't dare to drink it, please take it back." Zhuo Qingyao's personality is stable in the end. Xiao Jingrui was dumbfounded and didn't seem to return to his senses, while Xie Bi had a forbearance expression on his face.

"The master knows that the two young masters will come today, so he has long ordered a good reception. If you want to drink alcohol, you should use the red image of the palace, so as to live up to the generous gift of plums by the young master Xiao." The maid on the left replied with a smile. , The elegance of words is not allowed to everyone.

Zhuo Qingyao looked at his brother: "Didn't you say you've only met him a few times?"

Xiao Jingrui thought about it for a moment before he suddenly said: "He was referring to the Qinling Mountains that day... Why is it worth such kindness for such trivial matters? Besides, when he met him in Qingfengguan later, he had already thanked him again."

Zhuo Qingyao and Xie Bi were a little stunned. They first heard Xiao Jingrui say they had met a few times. They thought that Xiao Jingrui had seen him from a distance when he appeared on some important occasions. .

"Jing Rui, you used to go home and often told us important things when you were out and about, why haven't you mentioned this?"

"That's surprising," Xiao Jingrui looked at his eldest brother. "The people I met outside were not too many, but not too many. I wouldn't tell you everyone, right?"

"It's not unusual for you to meet someone else, but what you met is..." Xie Bi just called out, and Zhuo Qingyao stopped him again, looked at his younger brother, and said slowly: "You really know that he is Who?"

"Of course I do," Xiao Jingrui said in a lower voice when he saw his brother's strange expression and felt a little unsure, "He is a wealthy businessman who sells furs on both sides of the Qinling Mountains..."

Xie Bi rolled his eyes and fell down on the stone bench next to him. Although Zhuo Qingyao was more stable, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

After a long while, Zhuo Qingyao gritted his teeth and regained his voice: "You have met him a few times, and you thought he was just a wealthy businessman, with such absurdly clumsy eyesight, how on earth did he get to the top of Langya? List? I think that Pavilion Master Langya has no knowledge of people at all, just like you!"

Xiao Jingrui is also a smart person. Hearing this, of course, he has long understood that the wealthy businessman who he thought was only a general acquaintance was actually a well-known celebrity. However, although he has been struggling in the fame and fortune list in recent years, his heart is not true. He is a person who values false names, so although he is a little embarrassed at this time, he is not ashamed, and only asks lightly: "Then who do you say he is?"

Zhuo Qingyao sighed, folded his arms around his chest, looked into his younger brother's eyes and spit out eight words: "Number one in Langya, Jiang Zuomeilang."
