Beauty Jianghu

Chapter 51 Secret Talk in the Pavilion

Zhao Xiaolin was held captive for four or five days and was finally rescued by Yang Shucheng and two others. Zhao Jiayu was extremely grateful and immediately invited the two of them to Jinshi Villa as guests.

Seeing his sincere invitation, Xiong Songlin had no choice but to agree. Zhao Jiayu asked his niece to ride on the horse, but there was one horse missing. Zhao Jiayu decided to walk. Seeing that he was walking, Xiong Songlin also got off the horse, so apart from the servant, the three of them led the horse.

Fortunately, there was a village not far away. A group of five people walked into the village and hired a donkey. Zhao Jiayu rode on it, Yang Shucheng rode on the servant's horse, Xiong Songlin rode on his own horse, and the servant walked towards the northwest. .

The next day, we returned to Jinshi Villa. The second owner of the village, Zhao Jiazhang, had just returned from the mountain with his servants. He was worried about his daughter's safety when he was notified by the servant that the owner of the first village had returned with his daughter and two saviors. Come together.

How did Zhao Jiazhang know that his daughter was not his own, so he hurriedly took his servants to welcome her out of the villa early.

When Zhao Jiazhang saw that his daughter had returned safely, he kept thanking Yang Shucheng and the other two young masters.

He hurriedly led the two of them into Jinshi Villa, sat down in the lobby, and made tea. Talking in the living room, I heard that Xiong Songlin was a famous family in Handan, Hebei Province, and I admired him even more.

Zhao Jiazhang ordered his servants to kill pigs and sheep to entertain the guests. After a while, the dishes were cooked and served to the table. The table was full, and the old wine was opened. The Zhao family was as happy as the New Year.

After dinner, Xiong Songlin wanted to say goodbye. How could the Zhao brothers allow him to go again, so they insisted on keeping him.

In this way, we stayed for several days.

Yang Shucheng is with Zhao Xiaolin every day.

After this lesson, Zhao Xiaolin never dared to go to the back mountain again.

There is a large garden in Jinpu Villa, with rockeries, ponds, pavilions and pavilions. The key is that the area is extremely large, with many trees, and it is deeply hidden and winding.

The two of them were lingering in the garden, and the people of the Zhao family looked at them and didn't understand.

Previously, Zhao Jiazhang was determined to find a son-in-law, but his friend Niu Xianfu wanted to marry Zhao Xiaolin to his son Niu Shiming. Zhao Jiazhang didn't like this boy, but Niu Xianfu was just pestering, and Zhao Jiazhang had no choice but to use the pretense of a martial arts competition to find a bride. Go to the Niu family.

After a martial arts competition, Liu Junyi from Shaanxi finally won. Zhao Jiazhang saw that the Liu family was also a wealthy family and could be considered a match, not to mention that Liu Junyi was also a talented and handsome young man. He was very satisfied and planned to fulfill his promise and prepare a wedding for them in the villa.

Unexpectedly, the daughter disobeyed her father's arrangement and ran away from home, which caused many twists and turns.

Now, seeing that Zhao Xiaolin and Yang Shucheng were together all day, and that Yang Shucheng saved his daughter twice, Zhao Jiazhang saw it and was very satisfied with him. Although his family is poorer, he is also a sincere gentleman. If his daughter endures hardship in the future, he can be allowed to live in his wife's villa, so why not.

Therefore, Zhao Jiazhang had this idea and allowed the young son and daughter to interact. It was rare that the daughter was willing, so how could the father be dissatisfied?

At this time, it was hot summer, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond were in full bloom, red and white, slim and graceful, becoming more and more delicate and bright under the cover of dense layers of green lotus leaves. The two of them sat on the Taihu stones beside the lotus and watched the lotus flowers. There is a gentle breeze blowing, the fragrance of lotus is fragrant, and dragonflies are flying on the lotus flowers.

Sometimes, Zhao Xiaolin plays the piano in the water pavilion, and Yang Shucheng listens with interest. Sometimes he can't help but step forward and try to play a song. Zhao Xiaolin was on hand to give guidance, and although Yang Shucheng was playing it for the first time, he would still get it right.

Mr. Xiong Songlin walked over slowly. He did not go up to the pavilion, but sat on the opposite side of the lotus pond. He took out his jade flute and played it with his fingers, echoing the music from a distance.

This Xiong family is a giant family in Handan. This Xiong Songlin is graceful and graceful. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is also extremely elegant and modest. Yang Shucheng and him also cherished each other, and the three of them often played together.

However, Zhao Xiaolin learned the lesson from last time and did not dare to go outside the villa. The three of them just played in the garden.

That night, the sky was full of stars. Yang Shucheng couldn't sleep, so he simply got up. It was already midnight. The villa was quiet. Yang Shucheng opened the door. It was quiet everywhere, except for the sound of wind and insects and the fragrance of wild flowers.

Yang Shucheng walked forward alone along the winding path. The Golden Persimmon Villa covers a large area. It is located on a hillside in the valley. It is full of dense trees and dotted with houses. Yang Shucheng walked slowly without waking anyone up.

Yang Shucheng stood under an ancient tree and could see the distant mountains outside the village standing silently under the moonlight. The stars in the sky shine like gems. The night is so quiet and the people are so refreshing.

Suddenly a dark shadow flashed across.

An uninvited guest came to the villa.

Yang Shucheng immediately became alert and pulled away to chase the black shadow.

The black shadow was very fast, as if it was very familiar with the environment here, and ran forward quickly.

Yang Shucheng followed him from a distance to prevent him from discovering what he was going to do.

I saw the black shadow walking around the house, through the dense forest, and walking forward, as if it was going to run into the garden.

Yang Shucheng followed behind, and the black shadow came towards the garden without hesitation. Is there anything in this garden worthy of this person coming here in the middle of the night?

Go through the circular door and run into the garden. Yang Shucheng also walked in. There were dense trees here. Yang Shucheng hid behind the trees and watched the man running straight to the pavilion on the lotus pond in the garden.

This pavilion is a place where Yang Shucheng and three others often play. I saw the shadowy figure entering the pavilion from the winding long bridge.

There was already an exquisite figure standing in the pavilion!

Could it be Zhao Xiaolin?

Yang Shucheng couldn't help but be nervous. He quickly grasped the sword in his hand and looked forward. The black figure came closer and didn't move much. They stood together as if they were talking.

It's too far here. There is a forest on the opposite side, which is very close to the pavilion. Can you hear what they are saying?

Yang Shucheng ran half a circle along the lotus pond with his head down, came to the small forest, walked through the dense forest, walked to the edge, hid behind a big tree, and looked into the pavilion.

Yang Shucheng was surprised by the two people standing in the pavilion.

One of them is the wife of the second village owner, Zhao Xiaolin’s mother.

With her was Zhao Jiayu, Zhao Xiaolin's uncle.

Why are the two of them together on the lotus pond late at night?

Yang Shucheng listened intently to what they said?

"Zhenmei, is this why you invited me here?"

"Yes."

Zhao Jiayu said: "It's rare that they like each other. I think we should stop interfering. If Xiaolin gets angry again and runs away from home again, I wonder what will happen? It's so chaotic outside now."

"Hmph." The lady said, "I think that boy pretends to be honest on the surface. He saved Xiaolin twice. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? He has been brooding about this matter since he failed in the last martial arts contest to recruit a bride."

"No way, things are not as complicated as you think."

The lady turned around and didn't answer. She didn't speak, and Zhao Jiayu didn't speak either, so both of them were silent.

Yang Shucheng hid behind the tree and was also confused. If he couldn't sleep tonight, how could he be aware of other people's true thoughts?

After a while, it was the wife who spoke first: "Just as you said, God sent him to rescue Xiaolin. But this man named Yang comes from a poor family, so it's hard for Xiaolin to go to his house and suffer hardship."

"If they become good friends and Xiaolin feels like suffering, just let them live in Jinshi Villa."

"Hmph." Madam snorted again and said, "You are quite generous."

Zhao Jiayu said: "The Zhao family has such a daughter. Sooner or later, Golden Persimmon Villa will not belong to others."

The two of them remained silent for a long time, but the lady spoke first: "Is it possible that you don't recognize your biological daughter?"

"Why don't I recognize her? When she got into trouble twice, I led people to look for her. I didn't come back to the village until I found her."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Madam said: "What do you think of this Mr. Xiong? He has a good family background, handsome appearance, and a good person. Brother Yu, don't you see?"

Zhao Jiayu said: "This Mr. Xiong is a good man, a handsome man, but Xiaolin and Mr. Yang have been together through thick and thin, and they have secretly fallen in love. Will she be able to fall in love with someone else? Maybe her stubborn temper has been violated. I don't know. What will happen?"

The lady said: "How can a little kid like her make the final decision about marriage? Think about it, what idea can you come up with to let her be with Mr. Xiong?"

"This one……"

Yang Shucheng stood behind the tree and heard these conversations clearly in the quiet night. It's like a bucket of cold water poured on the body, cooling it from head to sole.

Yang Shucheng no longer listened to what they said. He had already slowly left, walked out of the grove, stopped walking backwards, and walked up the mountain from another mountain road in a daze.

After walking like this for half an hour, he actually reached the back mountain. Yang Shucheng felt as if he was lost. When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, there was no way to go. Yang Shucheng was at a loss and stood on the middle of the mountain. The mountain wind blew on him, and even his whole body was exhausted. I felt an infinite chill all over my body.

Yang Shucheng felt that he came from a poor family and was trapped in the countryside. He was unable to learn literature or martial arts. He was unable to gain fame. He could not even avenge the murder of his father. He was tall and tall, and was not called a man. How could he stand in the world?

What's more, Jinshi Villa is known as a rich man. Zhao Xiaolin is naturally beautiful and has a gentle personality. How many princes and princes in the world come to ask for her help. What credit do I have to rely on here? The reason why I am not driven away is because I have saved her twice. I want it again. Wishful thinking will not be ridiculed by others.

Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng felt disheartened for a while, and he was ready to die.
