Cultivation No.1 Dating Agency

"It's you again?" Xiao Jiu stood outside the cabin of the flower boat in the Red Broken Building, looking at Hu Chi and his party with half-smiles, "It's fine to bring the children, but you still bring women to play?"

Hu Chi ignored her sarcasm, and just smiled and said, "Isn't Liu Ye here? Why did the oiran come to attract guests in person?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu, who was still wearing a teasing smile, immediately turned pale. She raised her wrist and waved her hand, and said impatiently, "Aunt Liu Ye is sick, son, please go back."

"That's a coincidence." Hu Chi took out the portrait that he had re-copied before from his arms, folded it up and handed it to Xiao Jiu, "I'm here to give her a panacea, to ensure that the medicine will cure her illness."

Xiao Jiu didn't answer, but tried to dissuade him, saying, "Aunt Liu Ye doesn't want to see you, so you better stop wasting your thoughts, we don't have the person you're looking for in Hong Sui Lou."

"You give her the things," Hu Chi still had a smile on his face, "tell her that I'll be waiting on the shore over there."

After finishing speaking, Hu Chi never entangled with Xiao Jiu again, and greeted everyone to get off the boat, but he really didn't leave, as if he was confident that Liu Ye would come out to see him.

Xiao Jiu originally wanted to throw away the torn paper, but when she saw Hu Chi like this, she abducted to the room where Liu Ye was.

Liu Ye's room was in the most remote part of the whole flower boat, turning a corner, the laughter and noise in the hall gradually faded away, and finally when she walked into Liu Ye's room, there was no sound around.

Even though Xiaojiu was bold, she also felt inexplicably timid at this time, and the sound of knocking on the door seemed deafening to her ears.She took a deep breath, and then said softly, "Aunt Liu Ye, are you in the room?"

The short stay of a few seconds in the middle made Xiao Jiu wrap her body tightly, which could not block any light gauze clothes. The feng shui of this place may not be good, and there is a chilly air, no wonder Aunt Liu Ye is always Get ill.

"Xiao Jiu?" I don't know how long I waited, but when Xiao Jiu felt that she was already shivering from the cold, she heard the weak voice of Liu Ye in the room, "Come in."

Only then did Xiao Jiu push open the door. Liu Ye was wearing a plain floral dress and was sitting half-sitting on the head of the bed. Her face was pale but her lips were as red as blood. She waved to Xiao Jiu who was standing by the door, showing a look A very reluctant smile: "Why are you here?"

"Aunt Liu Ye, why are you so sick?" Seeing her appearance, Xiao Jiu forgot her original intention of coming here, hurriedly walked to the table and put down the portrait, poured a glass of water and handed it over, "Take care of your girl You’re not here? Why didn’t you ask the doctor to come and see you when you are so sick?”

"It's okay." Liu Ye took the cup with one hand, smiled and touched Xiao Jiu's forehead with the other hand, "It's an old problem, it will be fine in two days."

"How can this be delayed?" Xiao Jiu said dissatisfied, "Look in the mirror and see how you look now, you don't seem to be okay? No, I'll go out and invite the doctor to come over now."

"No need." Liu Ye hurriedly grabbed Xiao Jiu who was about to get up, "It's really not necessary."

Then when Xiao Jiu frowned and was about to speak, she changed the topic first, "Did something happen before you came to see me?"

"I'll take care of what can happen in front of me, but that man came again. This time he brought a lot of people, and I thought he was going to mess things up." Xiao Jiu reached out and took the portrait she had just put down casually and handed it to him. Leaving Liu Ye, "He didn't say he was looking for someone this time, he just asked me to give you this."

Liu Ye took the paper but didn't open it immediately, she seemed to be able to hear what the man said before in her mind.

Miss August committed suicide, did you know that?

Her hand holding the piece of paper trembled slightly, and she managed to maintain the calmness in her voice and asked, "What else did he say?"

"There are still some messy things. Why do you say that you can cure your illness after reading this piece of paper?" Xiao Jiu waved his hands, obviously not believing what Hu Chi said, "Could it be possible that he still thinks he is a fairy? Liu Ye Auntie, what is written on this paper?"

Nothing was written on the paper, just a drawing of a man.

The facial features are not outstanding, but the appearance of smiling is very handsome, it is easy for people to let go of their vigilance and feel good.

Miss August probably also took a fancy to the tenderness and sweetness on this face.

Liu Ye held the piece of paper tightly, and the corner of the drawing paper was wrinkled, but her voice was calm: "Where is he now?"

"He said he was waiting for you outside the boat, hey, Aunt Liu Ye!"

Before Xiao Jiu finished speaking, Liu Ye had already got out of bed, probably because her body was still weak, and she staggered and nearly fell down before her shoes were put on after she got out of bed.

But he ran out without hesitation.

"Really!" Xiao Jiu held the cloak that Liu Ye put on beside the bed in her hand, and followed with her mouth pursed.

Hu Chi was holding half a catty of fried chestnuts in his hand, and he peeled off a whole chestnut kernel with a gentle press on the two ends of the chestnuts. He casually fed them into Bai Ji's mouth, without noticing Bai Ji's expression, and smiled at the seller. Chestnut's old man said, "You've been doing business here?"

"Young man's words are contemptuous!" the old man said with a smile on his face, "When I was young, I traveled all over the world and saw the world, and I set up a small stall at the foot of the capital to sell it when I was old. Some snacks, not necessarily to earn a few pocket money, but to be idle."

"That's pretty good," Hu Chi blinked at the old man knowingly, "After all, this snack is fake, and it's a pleasure to see the pretty girls if you have nothing to do."

"You are so unscrupulous!" The old man put on a straight face when he heard this, "I'm getting along with my wife, I don't care if you spoil your child, but don't ruin my reputation."

Hu Chi smiled: "You can help me weigh two catties of chestnuts to calm down, I just said casually, no matter how many beauties there are outside, how can they compare with the caring at home?" After he finished speaking, he pinched Bai Ji's face and asked Bai Ji, "You think so?"

When Bai Ji heard this, he turned his head and ignored him.

Hu Chi didn't expect him to answer this unnutritious topic. He took the chestnut from the old man's hand and handed it to Luo Xin, who was counting ants behind him. He glanced at the splendid flower building not far away, and asked casually: "By the way, old man, Miss Liu Ye from Hong Sui Lou, I heard that you like your stir-fried chestnuts the most?"

"Then you must have misremembered." The old man shook his head, "Other girls in that building would come to me from time to time to buy half a catty to taste. I have never seen that willow leaf you mentioned."

"Old man, think about it carefully, Liu Ye is the mother of Hong Sui Lou, she always has to go out often." Hu Chi peeled another chestnut and fed it to Bai Ji casually, "Your chestnuts are so delicious, She has never come to buy it before, so that is unreasonable."

"What's the matter? Not everyone wants to eat it." The old man was amused by Hu Chi's righteous and arrogant appearance, and he pretended to be half a catty more, "If you want to eat, eat more."

Hu Chi also smiled when he took the half a catty of chestnuts, and just as he was about to pass the chestnuts to Luo Xin, he saw two women running towards each other in the flower boat of the Red Broken Building.

Liu Ye, who was walking in front, looked ugly, and she was really sick as Xiao Jiu said.

She ran over in just a few steps, and her eyes were directly on Hu Chi.

"you……"

Hu Chi interrupted what she was still panting heavily, and raised the chestnut in his hand with a smile, "Sister Liu Ye eats chestnuts?"

When Hu Chi and Liu Ye walked slowly towards the Red Broken Building, the old man looked away from Liu Ye and murmured in a low voice, "It's really similar."

"Like who?"

The old man replied subconsciously: "Her mother."

After answering, he was startled, and quickly looked at the person who spoke before. It was the young man who bought the chestnuts and a handsome young man in his group. He hadn't spoken before, and the old man had forgotten him too. .

"No wonder." After Lu Zixuan whispered to himself, he took out a couple of pieces of silver from his pocket and handed it over, "Old man, another catty of chestnuts."

"Oh, this is too much." The old man confiscated his money, "If you want to eat, I will weigh you another half a catty. This chestnut can't hold it. You have so many people in your group and you can't eat so much. It was wasted for nothing."

Lu Zixuan looked at the bag of chestnuts that the old man gave him with interest. He has been in the capital for a long time, but he has never bought anything on his own initiative, let alone when he was given something, it was just ordinary fried chestnuts. .

As soon as he took the chestnuts, a hand that looked too thin passed over a dozen copper plates, and a familiar female voice sounded next to his ear: "Old man, you can take it, we haven't taken it anymore. It makes sense."

The old man took the copper plate and smiled at Luo Xiuxiu.

Luo Xiuxiu smiled back and looked at Lu Zixuan, "They've already gone in, let's go in too."

Lu Zixuan nodded, and walked two steps side by side with Luo Xiuxiu, then passed the chestnut in his hand: "For you."

Luo Xiuxiu's footsteps paused slightly, but she still reached out to take it, and peeled off a chestnut like Hu Chi did before. The chestnut seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of honey, which was so sweet that her heart softened.However, Luo Xiuxiu said, "The money I paid was used by you as a favor."

Lu Zixuan laughed, but not because of what Luo Xiuxiu said, but because of Luo Xiuxiu's familiar tone, "This is very good."

"Huh?" Luo Xiuxiu bit a chestnut in her mouth and looked at him suspiciously.

"You and I don't need to be too polite," Lu Zixuan explained, "After all, we will be brothers and sisters in the future, and we don't need to be so born. When the white taboo here recovers, I will take you to Xuanque Valley to see it." Uncle Sect Master, you have a thorough understanding of formations and are quite talented, so you have no suspense as an inner disciple of Xuanque Valley."

She may have eaten a bad chestnut.

Luo Xiuxiu forced a smile, but for some reason, she felt her mouth was so sweet that it turned bitter.

Take your time, since Lu Zixuan has taken a fancy to her formation, one day she will let Lu Zixuan see her for real.

Hu Chi and the others were in the cabin on the top floor, and Xiao Jiu was guarding the door. When he saw Lu Zixuan and Luo Xiuxiu in men's clothes, he pouted and let them in.

In the cabin, although the willow leaves looked indifferent, she could notice her nervousness when she looked carefully. When her finger touched the water cup, she saw the warm white water inside caused layers of water waves due to trembling fingers. , she put her hands under the table and clenched them tightly, and asked softly, "How do you know this man?"

"It should be the same reason as I know Miss August." Hu Chi took a sip of water slowly, "Listen to Xiaojiu, sister Liu Ye, are you sick?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when Hu Chi finished asking this sentence, Liu Ye's face seemed to be even worse, and she forced a smile: "I'm sick, it's okay."

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed." Hu Chi said helplessly, "After all, I thought Aunt Liu Ye was willing to come to me because she was ready to be honest with her."

Liu Ye paused, and said without confidence: "I don't know what you are talking about, young master?"

"Then I'll cut to the chase, this man," Hu Chi leaned forward slightly to look at Liu Ye's face, "Is that your father?"

After Hu Chi finished speaking, Bai Ji, who was originally sitting on the side, looked up at him.

Then he looked at Liu Ye, who still had a smile on his face, but this smile seemed a little stiff and fearful.

But Hu Chi continued: "Miss August and this man—Mo Wen, met in the first year of Qing'an. After falling in love, Mo Wen left for some reason, and eight months later, Miss August gave birth to a daughter."

"After Miss August gave birth to a daughter, the daughter was secretly taken away by the boss of Hongshalou, and the news was concealed. Except for the people in Hongshalou back then, no one knew that Miss August was pregnant. Ten years later, Miss August suddenly disappeared without a trace. Because her appearance is very similar to Miss August, that daughter was also favored by Hongshalou, and she was trained as the top card, inheriting the position of Miss August, and her flower name is Suiliu."

"That's you, Aunt Liu Ye."

After Hu Chi finished speaking, not to mention Liu Ye, even the other people present were at a loss.

"We met in the first year of Qing'an?" Luo Xin said with a face full of disbelief, "Since we met in the first year of Qing'an, it should be more than 300 years ago. For such a long time, even Miss August really has a daughter. , to put it bluntly, I am afraid that it has already been buried in the ground."

"Luo Xiuxiu," Hu Chi didn't answer the question directly, but looked at Luo Xiuxiu instead, "Do you still remember when Master Luo bought back that pot of orchids?"

Luo Xiuxiu recalled it carefully before she hesitated to say: "I bought it from the capital four years ago."

"It was also the year when the orchids were bought back. There was a major event in the Luo Mansion. Luo Chengwu sent a lot of people away, right?"

"...Yes." Luo Xiuxiu didn't want to talk about this matter as a family scandal at first, but then she thought that she didn't even have a home now, so she let go of her scruples, "It's because of my second brother, In fact, my uncle not only bought a pot of orchids in the capital four years ago, but also brought back a woman. I heard that the woman was a poor orphan. My aunt passed away early. My mother and I have no objection to my uncle marrying another Continuing, she has always taken good care of that woman. But after a long time, my mother always felt that this woman was not an ordinary person, she seemed to come out of Huajie Liuxiang, and she wanted to remind my uncle, but..." Luo Xiuxiu paused slightly, she After all, she was raised as a lady from a famous family since she was a child, even though she is not young now, she still can't say some words.

However, having said so much, I couldn't let go of this last sentence, so I had to bite the bullet and say: "But I found that woman lying on the second brother's bed."

The cup in Liu Ye's hand fell to the ground.

But she didn't seem to notice, she just looked at Luo Xiuxiu silently.

One woman serves two husbands, and they are still father and son.

Considering Mrs. Luo's domineering attitude, it is naturally impossible for this woman to stay in Luo's residence.

"But my second brother disagrees," Luo Xiuxiu said, the more she felt the situation at that time vividly, "My mother originally wanted to marry this girl to another place far away, and my uncle felt ashamed when he learned about it. He agreed without saying a word, but the second brother didn't know what was wrong. Although he was not obedient to his uncle, he was very measured, but this time he stood in front of that woman and said that he wanted to marry her. if."

"At that time, my uncle and my mother were trying to persuade him, but he didn't listen to him as if he was possessed by a demon. My uncle had no choice but to lock him in the room, intending to send the woman away quietly. Who would have thought that the woman died that night." Luo Xiuxiu He quickly explained, "This incident was definitely not done by my uncle and my mother. Although our Luo family is not a big family, we will not do anything that kills people."

"I know," Hu Chi said to comfort her, "She committed suicide, we all know it, and the national teacher also knows it."

Although Lu Zixuan didn't know what Hu Chi was doing with him at this time, he still nodded when Luo Xiuxiu looked over.

Luo Xiuxiu made up her mind and continued: "So after that night, my uncle sent many people away, trying to make this matter a big deal. But it was also when the woman was in her first seven years that the second brother started to feel abnormal. At first, he wanted the pot of orchids that my uncle brought back from the capital, but at that time, my uncle bought it because he saw the woman selling orchids. In order to prevent the second brother from getting stuck in this matter, he sternly refused. "

"Later..." Luo Xiuxiu took a deep breath, "Second brother is crazy, and the Luo family is also finished."

"I have a few questions." Hu Chi didn't let Luo Xiuxiu experience the pain of family ruin, but asked seriously, "After that woman passed away, did your second brother show any signs of grief?"

"It... doesn't seem to be there?" Luo Xiuxiu was also a little puzzled when she thought about it at this moment. If the second brother really liked that woman so much, and even wanted to marry her at the expense of his family, how could he be sad for two weeks after learning that the woman passed away? God, but...

"Second brother just waved his hand when he heard the woman committed suicide the next day, and then rushed to his uncle to ask for flowers? It's really unreasonable to think about it this way."

But Hu Chi waved his hand: "Let's not talk about whether this matter is reasonable or not, but from this point of view, your second brother should love that pot of orchids very much, and what he wanted to do in the last period was to smash it up. The pot puts that orchid in the ground, right?"

"That's right!" Luo Xiuxiu nodded, "So everyone thinks he's gone mad."

"It's not wrong to say he's insane." Hu Chi nodded, "But the root cause of his insanity is that your second brother is a lover."

Luo Xiuxiu looked at Hu Chi suspiciously.

But Bai Ji suddenly said: "Because that orchid is that woman."

Hu Chi rubbed Bai Ji's shoulder with a smile and added: "Or Miss August, who lied to your second brother that she is that orchid."

The author has something to say: Dazhang!

Think of it as a catch up to yesterday's update.

A little more tomorrow, and the affairs of the Luo family will be completely over.

Then I will go to Du's house to find something.
