Xiao Qinghuan

Jiang's population is thin, even if there are a few new maids and wives, in order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Xiaohan only let them serve Jiang Ling. Except for the little maids who keep watch at night, the wives and big maids sleep in the ear room of the outer courtyard.

The heavy rain wet all the paper lanterns in the courtyard, and most of the original light sources were lost.Yan Qing thought that the two children were already asleep, but he didn't want to step into the courtyard. He saw Jing Zhan leaning against the eaves of the small building on the first floor of Xieyulou with his sword in his arms. He seemed to be full of energy and not sleepy. .

After the inner courtyard was opened, the original Sanweitang was allocated to Jing Zhan, and the Xieyu Building was allocated to Jiang Ling. Although these two rooms are in the same courtyard, there is a nine-curved corridor for feeding fish in the middle. So it's not that close.

"Why are you standing here?" Yan Qing asked: "It's late at night, don't you want to go back to sleep?"

Jing Zhan had just started practicing martial arts not long ago, and his hearing was limited. In addition, Yan Qing and Jiang Xiaohan both walked lightly, so when Yan Qing opened his mouth, he suddenly found that they were already standing in the courtyard.

Jing Zhan hurriedly got up and saluted the two of them: "Master, adoptive father."

Jiang Xiaohan hummed, Jing Zhan raised his eyes to look at him, and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Father, did you get caught in the rain?"

"It's okay." Jiang Xiaohan's clothes were half dry, if Jing Zhan didn't mention it, he would have forgotten about it, he shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then asked, "What are you doing here? "

Speaking of this, Jing Zhan suddenly said seriously: "I suspect that a stranger has entered the house."

Jiang Xiaohan didn't take it as a joke because of Jing Zhan's young age, he looked at Yan Qing calmly.Yan Qing understood, walked up and asked: "Can you see who it is?"

"It's too dark, I didn't see it clearly." Jing Zhan frowned, thought about it for a while, and said, "He is very fast, and I just caught a glimpse from the window by accident. When I chased him out, I had already heard him I didn’t see his footsteps anymore. I was afraid that he came to seek revenge, so I stayed here at A Ling’s place, and I happened to be here waiting for the master and foster father to come back.”

He spoke calmly, but Jiang Xiaohan saw his hand holding the sword trembling slightly.

That's right, he has only learned martial arts for a few days, and even the sword is almost as tall as others, and the child is not very old, so it is not bad to reach this level.

Jiang Xiaohan bent down and took the sword out of his hand, then pressed his wrist and rubbed it, coaxing in a low voice: "Go back to sleep, foster father knows."

Jing Zhan looked back at the small building, seemed a little worried about Jiang Ling, but in the end he said nothing, saluted, turned and walked along the corridor.

After all, Xieyulou is where Jiang Ling lives, the lights above have been turned off, and the little girl is already fast asleep.As a father, Jiang Xiaohan couldn't knock on the door again, so he just walked around the small building and checked that there were no traces of stepping on the tiles on the corner eaves, just to confirm that she was safe.

Yan Qing looked at Jiang Xiaohan, saw that the latter smiled at him, then wrapped his arms around his shoulders nonchalantly, and walked back to the main hall.

This is an extremely intimate gesture, but the two of them did not look awkward and stiff, as if they had done it thousands of times.

"Ah Qing." Jiang Xiaohan leaned closer to his ear with this posture, and said in a breathy voice: "You heard it too."

Yan Qing nodded slightly.

"I thought it was a surprise that He Liuyun came here tonight, but I didn't expect to come with him." Jiang Xiaohan complained half-truthfully: "Is the tea in Pingjiang Mansion so delicious? Biluochun is expensive , I will register for cash next time."

Yan Qing barely suppressed the smile on the corner of his lips, and said: "Nonsense again."

During the conversation, we have come to the main hall. Originally, the main hall of Xieyu Building was only used for Jiang Xiaohan's rest. Later, it was expanded again for Yan Qing's move in. In addition to the study, a flower hall for receiving guests was added beside the main room.

Jiang Xiaohan and Yan Qing stood in tacit agreement five steps outside the main hall, Yan Qing pressed his thumb on the hilt of the sword, Jiang Xiaohan took half a step forward, and said with a loud smile: "I'm a guest from afar, why don't you come in and talk."

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed across the eaves of the main hall. The shadow was flexible and flexible, almost sliding down the corner of the eaves.

"Young Master Luo." Jiang Xiaohan said.

Luo Suifeng raised his head. He didn't know how long he had been waiting in the rain. He looked much more embarrassed than Jiang Xiaohan. The night clothes on his body were already soaked and stuck to his body heavily, and the broken hair on his forehead was beaten into strands by the rain. , covering his sharp eyebrows.

He stared at Jiang Xiaohan silently, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh out of him with his eyes.

Luo Suifeng has always been like this, Jiang Xiaohan understands that if he wants to deal with him, unless he puts his brains in his arms first, he will be mad at him sooner or later.

"It's raining heavily outside, let's go in and talk about it." Jiang Xiaohan turned around and walked towards the flower hall first: "It's just that the servants at home are not here tonight, so the refreshments will be skipped."

Yan Qing walked beside him, thinking about Jiang Xiaohan's sentence that tea is expensive, almost laughed inappropriately.

Maybe it was because the thing was in Jiang Xiaohan's hands, Luo Suifeng weighed it, and made sure that he was not capable of grabbing it from the two of them, so he swallowed his anger and pursed his lips, and followed Jiang Xiaohan into the flower hall.

Jiang Xiaohan and Yan Qing sat in the front seats, Luo Suifeng then entered the door, but did not sit down, stood in the hall and looked at Jiang Xiaohan coldly: "Things."

"He Liuyun repented, didn't he?" Jiang Xiaohan asked.

Luo Suifeng nodded, and said, "Give me something."

Jiang Xiaohan didn't like his tricks, and said quietly: "Young man Luo, the old master Luo didn't tell you, what is the attitude of asking for help?"

Luo Suifeng gritted his teeth, and said with difficulty: "...I can help you with things, murder and arson, or take something like that person, anything."

He looked like someone who seldom gave in, he stuttered when he said this, his eyes were fixed on the legs of the coffee table next to him, but he refused to look at Jiang Xiaohan directly.

Jiang Xiaohan laughed: "I asked you to kill people and set fire to what, I am a good citizen."

Luo Suifeng was at a loss for words for a while, Jiang Xiaohan was different from He Liuyun, He Liuyun put the conditions in front of him straightforwardly at that time, asking him to choose whether to change or not.And Jiang Xiaohan was as slippery as a loach, he seemed to have a plan, and he didn't seem to pay attention to Luo Suifeng's ability at all.

——But apart from these things, Luo Suifeng next to him didn't understand anything.

There was inevitably a look of anxiety on his face, Yan Qing shook his head calmly at Jiang Xiaohan, signaling him not to tease him too much.

"I don't need you to kill and set fire, and I don't need you to sacrifice your life. It's not worth it for the bones." Jiang Xiaohan took out a copper key from his arms and threw it into Luo Suifeng's arms in the air: "This is the key to the warehouse. It’s the ear room on the right side of the front yard, you can get it yourself.”

Luo Suifeng held the key and looked at Jiang Xiaohan in a daze. He didn't seem to expect that he could achieve his wish so easily.On the way to Pingjiang, he was even prepared—no matter how Jiang Xiaohan made things difficult for him, he would have to endure it.

"Not going yet?" Jiang Xiaohan chuckled lightly: "Are you in no hurry?"

Luo Suifeng was a little embarrassed by his ridicule, he took a step back, but stopped for some reason, without turning around and leaving.

"...Why don't you ask me to do something." Luo Suifeng said, "I can do anything for it."

Jiang Xiaohan raised his eyebrows: "Because those snake bones are not worth your money."

"It's worth it." Luo Suifeng said stubbornly.

Yan Qing almost touched his forehead.

At this time, if you have a little brain, you should go down the steps, grab your things and leave quickly, and don't get involved with people like Jiang Xiaohan—it's a pity that Luo Suifeng is not a normal person.

"What I said is not worth it. To me, it's just a toy, and it's of no use to me." Jiang Xiaohan said lightly: "As for how it treats you, it has nothing to do with me. I don't need to take yours." It’s cheap, you take it back, bury it or whatever, it’s all up to you.”

Luo Suifeng blinked, not knowing whether he understood or not.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't intend to entangle him too much: "I've always kept my word, I promise I won't go back on my word, go get it."

Luo Suifeng still didn't leave.

Jiang Xiaohan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Yan Qing.

"Do you have anything to say?" Yan Qing asked.

"...I have already handed over the things I took back from Pingjiang to that person last time." Luo Suifeng said in a low voice, "So I can't give it to you."

Jiang Xiaohan understood.

This was He Liuyun's good start for this ignorant Luo Shaoxia. He gave the things to Luo Suifeng so happily now, but Luo Suifeng didn't dare to take them away so easily.

Yan Qing asked warmly: "So after you gave him the thing, he didn't return the snake bone to you, but regretted it again, right?"

Luo Suifeng nodded again.

Jiang Xiaohan felt that Yan Qing's tone was really familiar just now, but now he realized that he usually coaxed Jiang Ling like this. This realization inevitably made Mr. Jiang feel a little funny.

Yan Qing was very patient, and said: "Xiaohan will not go back on his word... You don't trust people in the officialdom, but this time I will guarantee you, so you can rest assured."

"No." Luo Suifeng was a little anxious, he walked a few steps, and said eagerly: "...I want to say, I have seen those things and wrote them down. If you want, I can draw them for you."

Jiang Xiaohan suddenly came alive: "Painting? Is that thing a picture?"

"No." Luo Suifeng shook his head: "I can't read, but I remember the appearance. I will draw it for you, and you can see it yourself."

Jiang Xiaohan and Yan Qing looked at each other, then nodded: "Yes."

Luo Suifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter why Jiang Xiaohan gave him something for nothing for no reason, and returned something to him, for Luo Suifeng, he was not owed him.

"There are wing rooms in the front yard. You can choose a guest room you like. There should be pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the room." Jiang Xiaohan paused, remembering that he was illiterate, and maybe he couldn't even grind ink. Then he added another sentence: "I will ask someone to serve your pen and ink later."

Luo Suifeng didn't express any dissatisfaction with the people under the eaves and the request made by himself.

Jiang Xiaohan saw that Luo Suifeng was holding the key and wouldn't let it go, so he said first, "I'll keep this thing in your hand, it's okay if you don't remember it halfway through the drawing, you can still leave at any time."
