Every year during the winter solstice, Chu Liuxiang always lives in the Throwing Cup Villa in Songjiang Mansion for a few days, which not only satisfies his appetite, but also has a good time with old friends. It can be regarded as the happiest day of the year for him.

He was wrapped in a brand-new fox fur and rode a new good horse. He was not in a hurry all the way, and he was still in the mood to hum a little tune from the south of the Yangtze River. Big lanterns, bright and warm.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help smiling, as if he had seen a big pot of steaming sea bass, a glass full of fine wine, and an old friend he hadn't seen in half a year.

At this time, no matter who it is, it will definitely be in a good mood.

Zuo Qinghou is also in a very good mood. When he is in a good mood, he is willing to cook a few sea bass himself to entertain the long-lost guests.His skills in cooking other dishes are only average, but this dish of sea bass is even the best chef in Jiangnan.

Even Li Xunhuan, who had originally planned to take Long Xiaoyun to say goodbye, changed his mind to stay here overnight, and had a meal of sea bass made by Zuo Erye himself.

The master went to the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up, and there were only a few guests sitting and chatting in the living room. The maid served some appetizers, opened a jar of fine wine and filled it up, closed the door, lit the stove, and soon the room was cold. After the breakup, the atmosphere of the feast is getting stronger.

Because it was a small banquet for old friends, Zuo Qinghou didn't move out the big table that he used to use, but set up a small round table with a small stove to warm a pot of wine, and several people sat around the stove, which was also light and comfortable.

"Where's Xiaoyun?" Hua Manlou asked Li Xun Huan, "Didn't you see him just now?"

"I didn't look at it, I don't know if I went there to play again, he will come back by himself when he's tired." Li Xunhuan didn't care too much, he was at an old friend's house, instead of worrying about whether Long Xiaoyun would encounter any danger, He was even more worried about whether Long Xiaoyun would offend Zuo Qinghou's family members by running around, after all Zuo Erye's daughter Zuo Mingzhu lived in Throwing Cup Villa.

While they were talking, they heard the sound of running on the porch outside, Hua Manlou smiled: "I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."

The person who was pushing the door and poking his head to look in was not Long Xiaoyun but who else.

Li Xunhuan stared at the two irregularly pierced horns on Long Xiaoyun's head, squinted his eyes and remained silent for a moment, seeing that Long Xiaoyun subconsciously shivered, walked in obediently from behind the door and stood up, lowering his eyebrows and narrowing his eyes The pitiful appearance of bowing his head to listen to the training.

There are two small horns on his head, one high and the other low, and a few messy hairs sticking out of his head. Without thinking about it, Li Xunhuan can guess that he probably played too much outside, and when he found his hair messed up, he hurried to find a place to hide. Get up, find a way to make your hair still visible, and then run over as if nothing happened.

Su Mu covered his chin, looked like he was enjoying the show, and even poked Hua Manlou, without any intention of speaking for Long Xiaoyun.

As soon as Li Xun Huan remained silent, Long Xiaoyun began to feel apprehensive. Uncle is not an easy-talking mother, who can be fooled by acting coquettishly, and is not a paper tiger father. If he hides behind his mother, everything will be fine, so he stood there tremblingly. It's not that he admits his mistakes so sincerely, but it's because his nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages tells him that it's better to do so.

Long Xiaoyun stood there, Li Xunhuan squinted his eyes again and did not speak, the scene was a little stiff for a moment.

In the end, Hua Manlou had no choice but to smooth things over: "Xiaoyun is still a child, so don't be too strict." Such a standard scene of a strict father teaching his son is really not suitable for appreciation before dinner.

Li Xunhuan sighed, and followed the steps Huamanlou handed him up, "Sit down first, and be more careful next time." He thought that he was not particularly strict with Long Xiaoyun on weekdays, and he didn't know why. Just so afraid of myself, it seems that it is still not enough to copy the method my father taught me back then.Li Xunhuan, who had never raised a child before, rubbed his chin and considered whether to go to Hua Manting to learn from him—he had a headache when he raised this one, but the Hua family raised a total of seven, and all of them were among the best. Longfeng, it can be seen that there must be some secrets of raising children that are not humane.

Long Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to Li Xunhuan and sat down, with his head downcast, he didn't dare to put his hands on the table casually.

Li Xun Huan frowned, but he still didn't speak.

Tsk, this look.Su Muzhe curled his lips, stood up and picked up Long Xiaoyun's collar, "I'll take him out for a walk." After leaving this sentence, he kicked open the door and walked out swaggeringly.

He was tall, and carrying Long Xiaoyun was like carrying a chick. Long Xiaoyun flinched in his hands, lowered his head and did not speak.

This appearance made Li Xun Huan frowned even tighter.

As soon as the door opened, some cold wind came in, blowing the candles in the corner of the wall and almost extinguishing them on the spot. After a moment of darkness, they flickered and lit up again. Li Xun Huan picked up the jug and poured himself a glass of wine.

The wine wasn't completely hot yet, and it still tasted a bit chilly, Li Xun Huan poured another glass after drinking it, and sighed deeply.

Hua Manlou said, "It's really rare for you to have such a headache."

"It's really rare for you to poke someone's sore spot like this." Li Xun Huan downed a glass of wine, his tone didn't mean to blame, but more distressed.

"I'm afraid that you'll pour yourself down before you even eat the perch." Hua Manlou smiled, "I know you're afraid that he'll lose his temper, but Xiaoyun is at the age of being playful and active. It's not beautiful to hold him back." He also poured himself a glass of wine before continuing, "Besides punishing him, isn't it you who feel sorry for you in the end?"

"Then let him do it?" Li Xun Huan looked puzzled, the most difficult thing for him in his life was this matter, thinking about how stupid he was when he agreed to Long Xiaoyun's request back then, it was so stupid to make people hide his face.

He has always been self-confident that he is very accurate in judging people. Long Xiaoyun is born with evil nature, which makes him always worried that indulgence will make this child go astray and waste that excellent talent in vain, so he can't help but put He pressured himself by his side and taught strictly that even if a person's nature is evil at the beginning, he should try his best to make him become a teacher, accumulate literature, morality and righteousness, and move him to the right path.

However, Long Xiaoyun was obedient and gentle to him, obediently making him wonder if he had read wrongly, and every time he did something wrong, if he didn't punish him, he always felt that it would encourage a bad atmosphere. The pitiful little face with pleasing eyebrows really couldn't let go of any heavy hands, every time it was raised high and gently lowered, and the mouth was severely taught to give up.

Even after Long Xiaoyun was depressed and lonely for a few days, he had to reflect on himself whether the lessons he taught had left any shadow on the child.

Mr. Li also taught his brothers that way back then, why didn't he ever see him have the same headache as himself?

Children are difficult to raise.Li Xun Huan took a sip of his wine sullenly, and sighed again.

Hua Manlou patted Li Xun Huan's shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry too much, the future will last forever."

"You have to relax, right..." Li Xun Huan smiled, and then teased him, "It seems that you are taking care of well."

"Asu is not a child, it will be troublesome if you say that if he hears it." Hua Manlou also smiled, and said meaningfully, "But if you let him run around, he will be reluctant to run It might come to pester you."

Li Xun Huan suddenly fell silent, stared at him for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I've found out now, you and that fox Hua Manting are indeed brothers."

What answered him was a smile that deepened on Hua Manlou's face.

……

On the other side, Su Muzhe carried Long Xiaoyun out of the hall, jumped onto the roof with all his strength, and threw him away, regardless of the child's embarrassing appearance of grabbing the tiles and legs.

"Stop pretending." Su Mu looked at him with his chin propped up, and sneered coldly, "If you act too much, it's fake."

The weather in the winter solstice is not good, and the night is also covered with cloudy clouds. There are no stars and no moon, only large shadows can be seen covering the sky. At this time, by comparison, the bright lights of Throwing Cup Villa are even more gorgeous.

With such bright lights, no one would notice that there were two people sitting on the roof.

Don't even care what they say.

Hearing Su Muzhe's words, Long Xiaoyun froze, and suddenly clenched the hand holding the tile, "How did you see that?" He asked, with a mature and calm tone that didn't match his age.

"I said, you are still too young." Su Muzhe watched with great interest as Long Xiaoyun's chubby body easily maintained his balance on the roof. On the ridge of the roof, the fleshy little face was tinged with a little cloudy color, which was completely different from the cute appearance in the daytime.

It is a little tender, but it is not bad for a four or five-year-old child to be able to do this level. After all, it is just a small flower seedling that is raised in a greenhouse and carefully cared for by the wind and rain every day.

Long Xiaoyun remained silent with a sullen face, Su Muzhe reached out and rubbed the two small horns on his head, "I like you better when you look like this." He laughed wildly, and the corners of his lips raised his already extremely gorgeous eyebrows and eyes There was a bit of dangerous treachery and coldness, and Long Xiaoyun blushed again as he looked at it.

So Su Muzhe laughed even louder, his voice was hoarse and deep, and unexpectedly mellow. Long Xiaoyun felt uncomfortable at his laughter, pulled the corner of Su Muzhe's clothes, and whispered: "Don't tell this matter out ..."

"Don't worry, I don't have the problem of talking too much." Su Mu covered his hand and pinched the flesh on his face, "I'm not interested in sharing your little secret with others."

Long Xiaoyun stared at him with hanging eyes: "You promise?"

"I promise." Su Muzhe picked him up and put him on his lap, untied the two small horns, one high and one low, smoothed the knotted hair, and laughed in his mouth, "How old are you? I can't comb my hair."

"I'm only five years old." Long Xiaoyun said it confidently, and countered, "You too, how old you are, and you're still acting like a baby with Uncle Hua Qi, I'm not ashamed."

"What do you know? Only children who can cry can eat sweets." Su Mu covered the hair in his hands, and tied up the two small corners skillfully, "Your little trick is just to deceive that Li...Li or something, even if It’s more effective if it’s thunder or rain, don’t you understand?”

Long Xiaoyun nodded, and glanced at him suspiciously, "How do you know so clearly?" He obviously didn't look like someone who was good at this kind of thing.

"Talk from experience, just memorize it!" Su Muzhe patted his head, "It's not in vain to live decades longer than you!"

Back when the Western Regions hadn’t started fighting, relying on his cute face to pretend to be pitiful and wait for an opportunity to mobilize money from those rich ladies with nowhere to spend was an important way for him to survive. People would never have imagined that the cute and harmless children who surrounded him just a second ago would be able to fight like mad dogs for a piece of steamed buns when they turned their faces.

So in the end, not many of the rich people survived, but his vitality was as tenacious as a weed. No matter how he turned, he still survived and was ready to live better.

Reminiscing about the days when he beat the invincible children all over the place and could fill his stomach every day, Su Mu pointed at the two small corners he had tied up by himself, "Also, don't ask too many questions in the future if you have nothing to do." It’s better not to tell others casually about your childhood.

Long Xiaoyun stared at him for a long time, and his face, which had finally regained its whiteness, began to turn red again.

"Why, do you still want to touch it?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows, his tone was condescending and his smile was lazy.

Blinking his eyes, Long Xiaoyun swept the large piece of skin exposed at the skirt of his clothes, and said decisively: "Think!"

The author has something to say:

The scheming on both sides is very deep

you are happy hahhh

☆, extra

For a long time, Jin Jiuling was thinking about a serious question.

——How did I get fooled by that little bastard to lose my bottom line step by step, and finally left behind fame and wealth and didn't want to follow him to the Western Regions?

The most frightening thing was that I actually thought it was pretty good.

The first meeting between the two of them was much better than Su Muzhe and Hua Manlou.

In March of Yangchun, misty rain and misty weeping willows in the south of the Yangtze River stretched for several miles, and peach blossoms bloomed in the suburbs of the city. The petals were covered with drizzle and fell quietly, scattering pink powder all over the ground. At that time, Jin Jiuling was only fifteen or sixteen years old, the most frivolous age , wearing fresh clothes, angry horses and light furs, calling for friends and companions to walk on horseback, unknowingly lost direction and separated with the crowd, wandering around into the peach forest.

That year, the peach blossoms were lightly rained, and the powder petals fell into the water. They walked along the cold stream drawn from the mountain, and the horseshoes stepped on the wet and soft ground.

Squandering flowers gradually become attractive, so Asakusa can have no horseshoes.

Jin Jiuling tied up his horse and walked slowly along the stream. He didn't know how far he had traveled. The sunlight just penetrated the branches of the peach forest, making his eyes turn white.

Just in a daze for a while, light and shadow flashed before his eyes, and he saw a young boy in white clothes swaying under the tree, the corners of his clothes were red and peach, standing barefoot on the grass, the peach petals fell on his hair, between his eyebrows, and touched the center of his eyebrows One petal is like a cinnabar mole, so light and clean that it doesn't seem to belong to the world.

Hearing the sound behind him, the young man turned around, a pair of emerald eyes flickered from shallow to deep with the change of light, and Jin Jiuling lost his mind for an instant.

"Hey, who are you?" The young man raised his chin, a little childishly cute, which brought Jin Jiuling back to his senses.

"I'm next, Jin Jiuling." Jin Jiuling clasped his fists, but the roots of his ears unconsciously turned pink.

The young man blinked and stared at him, and suddenly there was a sweet smile on the ground, and said: "Jin Jiuling, when I grow up, I will marry you home, okay?"

The green eyes are like a deep spring in a valley, and you can't see to the bottom. From the bottom, there is a rich black that can't be melted, which is confusing.

Jin Jiuling remembered the tales of ghosts and monsters that he had peeked at once. The mountain spirit turned into a human form, which made the scholar unable to look away.

"What are you thinking?" The young man smiled innocently, looking at Jin Jiuling with a pair of eyes, with light-colored spots gliding in his pupils, Jin Jiuling unconsciously said: "Ten thousand taels of gold..."

"Is ten thousand taels of gold for employment..." The young man smiled meaningfully, "Such a big appetite, it's really lovable." He said as he stood on tiptoe and grabbed Jin Jiuling by the collar and pulled him down, "My name is Yao Don't forget, Rivas."

Lips as soft as peach blossoms stuck to Jin Jiuling's lips, blowing away the last bit of sanity in Jin Jiuling's head. He could only nod in a trance following the boy's tone, and everything he saw gradually became blurred until he finally fell into darkness.

When he woke up, if the wound on his lip bitten by the young man's sharp tiger teeth was not still aching, he might have regarded everything as a dream and forgotten it in a blink of an eye.

But their first meeting was not as wonderful as Su Muzhe and Huamanlou.

Yaolivas, in the language of the Western Regions, means tiger. The young man with this name is undoubtedly brave and arrogant with one enemy against one hundred.

At least, that's what his parents expected when he was born.

I only sigh that he was born in the wrong place at the wrong time. Once the war in the Western Regions broke out and the country was destroyed, the only son of the general's family who was babbling was also an excellent trophy. The price of a family without worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime.

The one who bought him was a well-known Gu master in the Western Regions. The five or sixty-year-old man has a weird and fierce temper. Although he planned to buy a child with good qualifications to go back to teach him as an apprentice, he lived more like a slave than his apprentice Yao Livas.

The old voodoo master studied all kinds of weird voodoo poisons on him, so that the teenage boy looked only six or seven years old, and at the same time taught the boy all the skills that he must master, and punished people at every turn. You have to survive but not die, after all, there are countless ways for a Gu Master to make people suffer.

At that time, even though Yao Livas was still young, he also clearly realized that if he was tossed about by the old Gu master like this, he would only have a dead end.

So when the old Gu master took him away to the Central Plains to escape the chaos of war, he knew that his chance to escape had come.

Spreading rumors along the way to attract the attention of many parties, and pretending to be stupid and incompetent to see the money, and giving some benefits to shake off all the old background of the Gu Master, and by the way, saved a small but enough travel expenses for himself.

Then he unexpectedly poisoned and plotted, and escaped before everyone reacted—it seems that the appearance of a child who is only seven or eight years old is his biggest bargaining chip, even an old Gu master who knows his real age, only treats him as a child Children are generally underestimated.

Encountering Jin Jiuling on the way to escape was the biggest accident of his life, but it was also the greatest luck of his life. At that time, he was hunted down by several sects. Wandering and fleeing in the woods in the outskirts is not a good thing for him, a Gu master without poison in his hand is a tiger without claws, he will fall down with one blow.

And Jin Jiuling was his expedient measure when he was desperate.

Sudden marriage proposals and kisses are full of calculations. The best thing young people learn is insanity. The closer the contact, the better the effect. From the first moment Jin Jiuling saw him, everything was the young man's plan, even if there was a hasty loophole. It is enough to go out a lot, and Jin Jiuling, whose eyes are dull and frozen in place, shows that he has succeeded.

Leaning on Jin Jiuling and pretending to be a close brother, they rode together and manipulated people to take him into the city. With familiar faces like Jin Shaoxia, the guards at the gate let them enter the city after only asking a few casual questions.

After entering the city, he found a secluded place and ordered Jin Jiuling to return to Taolin along the same road. After the insanity was lifted, he would not remember anything, but felt like a dream.

And Yaolivas can also hide himself in this bustling small city, and wait for the calm before making plans.

He never thought that he would see Jin Jiuling again, nor did he think that Jin Jiuling still had a three-point impression of him, but this was the best thing for him. He deceived Jin Jiuling by pretending to be pitiful, and let He arranged a reasonable identity for himself so that he could get in the caravan going to the Western Regions.

That's right, he plans to go back to the Western Regions, the war-torn Western Regions are a good place to fish in troubled waters, and he is also thinking about the large number of books that the old Gu Master hid in his previous residence, he can only count on those books after his death.

One was going to the western region and the other was going to the southeast. At that time, they just met by chance. No one would have guessed that they would be entangled with each other for a lifetime.

The author has something to say:

The right protector requested by the little angel [I'm sorry I can't make sense of my face, so I have to expand on their first encounter with the so-called devil's beauties, all of them are snakes and scorpions [Waving a handkerchief]
