The style is different [Comprehensive]

Xie Linyun said so much, but Huang Yaoshi still didn't respond for a long time.

He lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't listen to her words at all, let alone respond.

The two remained in a stalemate until the rain outside the boat completely stopped, and Xie Linyun made another sound.

Xie Linyun said: "If you don't speak, I will take it as your default."

Huang Yaoshi raised his eyes and finally asked, "Are you finished?"

He had a pair of extraordinarily deep eyes, and when he didn't make an expression, he always looked awe-inspiring that didn't match his age, and he could scare many people into retreat without saying a lot.

But Xie Linyun was not those people after all, she was determined to figure this out, how could she be defeated by him just looking at it.

"No." Xie Linyun shook his head, his tone firm, "Don't try to send me away."

As soon as she finished speaking, a slightly immature voice came from outside the cabin, calling Huang Yaoshi's name from far to near.

Xie Linyun recognized the kid named Lu Xiaofeng, rolled his eyes, and said as if he understood something: "That kid surnamed Lu is the successor of Mr. Zhu's old friend?"

Huang Yaoshi glanced at her without denying it.

Another moment passed, Lu Xiaofeng's voice got closer and closer, Huang Yaoshi got up and left the cabin.

Xie Linyun thought about it, and went out together.

Lu Xiaofeng came to make amends, and when he jumped over from another boat, he held a jar of wine tightly in his hand.

After standing still on the ground, he held it to Huang Yaoshi with a smile, and said, "I bought it for you! The last pot!"

Huang Yaoshi didn't answer, and only signaled him to let it go with his eyes.

He was also obedient, and immediately bent down to put the wine in a dark compartment next to the cabin, and then tentatively asked Huang Yaoshi, "By the way, how many days are we going to stay in Jiaxing? When are we going back to Peach Blossom Island? "

Huang Yaoshi: "Didn't you always think of that kid surnamed Sikong before?"

Lu Xiaofeng slapped his forehead and said, "I've seen him doing well these two days, what else is there to read, it's more important to learn kung fu."

Huang Yaoshi: "..." Hurry up and stop acting.

Lu Xiaofeng saw that he still had the look of a stranger not to enter, and then picked up what he liked to hear and said: "Really, now all I want is to go back to Peach Blossom Island and continue learning Kung Fu with you!"

"Okay, don't talk about it." Huang Yaoshi's complexion did not slow down, but his tone was relaxed, "Let's trust you this time."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng immediately heyed, jumped on the bow of the boat, and said, "Then when are we going back?"

"Not coming back for now." Huang Yaoshi said, "Uncle Zhu has returned to Jiaxing, let's visit him first."

"Huh? How did you know?" Lu Xiaofeng was startled, "I asked Zhu Ting the day before yesterday, but Zhu Ting didn't even know his father was coming back."

At this point in the conversation, Xie Linyun was finally able to speak out.

"Because I sent him outside Jiaxing early this morning." Xie Linyun said, "If you asked the day before yesterday, you naturally didn't know that he would arrive in two days."

When Lu Xiaofeng was not on the boat, he had wondered why she was on Huang Yaoshi's boat. You must know that Huang Yaoshi has a bad temper. This boat is his treasure, and no one else can get on it, let alone enter the cabin with wet clothes. up.

However, Huang Yaoshi didn't mention it, and he didn't have the courage to ask, after all, he was quite aware of Huang Yaoshi's temper.

Now that Xie Linyun answered his question, it can be said that he was giving him a chance to solve his curiosity.

He blinked, grinned and said, "Hey, sister, are you...?"

Xie Linyun: "Don't you know where Mr. Zhu went before?"

Lu Xiaofeng replied without thinking: "Dongting." After answering, he caught a glimpse of the red gun behind Xie Linyun's back, and then suddenly realized something and opened his eyes wide.

Xie Linyun pursed her lips: "My surname is Xie, and I come from Dongting."

Speaking of this, of course Lu Xiaofeng realized who she was.

He had a look of disbelief: "You are the number one in the world!"

Xie Linyun groaned, which was an admission.

Lu Xiaofeng leaned over and wanted to say something more, but Huang Yaoshi grabbed the clothes behind his neck.

Huang Yaoshi said: "Sit down quietly and paddle to the south."

Lu Xiaofeng could only obey obediently: "Oh." He knew that to go to Zhu Ting's house, he had to park the boat to the private ferry in the south first.

Xie Linyun saw that he was only about the same age as Ximen Chuuxue, with slender arms and legs, and rowing alone would be difficult, so he couldn't help but said, "I'll help you."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded immediately, but before he spoke, he kept his eyes locked on Huang Yaoshi's face, seeing that he had no intention of disapproving, he said sweetly: "Thank you sister!"

After that, Huang Yaoshi probably couldn't stand the wet clothes anymore, so he got into the cabin to change clothes alone.

Lu Xiaofeng took the opportunity to ask Xie Linyun in a low voice: "Sister, do you have a good relationship with Huang Yaoshi?"

Xie Linyun: "...Why do you ask that?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "I saw you coming out of the cabin. Normally, if I want to go in, I have to have no mud on my body! But you are covered in water, so he got in for you..."

Xie Linyun thought for a while, and replied seriously: "It should be because he can't beat me, so he can only let me in."

Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a while, and felt that it made sense: "That's right, you are number one in the world."

Xie Linyun thought this kid was quite interesting, so he chatted with him a few more words.

She asked Lu Xiaofeng: "Huang Yaoshi taught you martial arts, so he is supposed to be your teacher, why do you just call him that by name and surname?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "He said he only taught me swordsmanship, not my master, so that I don't have to call him master. I asked if it would be okay to call him big brother, but he hated it, so he just called him by his name..."

This kid probably suffered a lot from Huang Yaoshi's weird temper, and even poured bitter water on Xie Linyun while talking.

"He's really weird!" Lu Xiaofeng said, "I learned swords from him, and every day I have to worry about where I'm going to annoy him again!"

"But you are still learning from him." Xie Linyun said.

"Then besides his strange temper, his martial arts are quite good..." Lu Xiaofeng paused, "So he is also very picky about me."

Huang Yaoshi changed his clothes and walked out of the childish "complaint" before he could say a few words.

He turned his eyes around Xie Linyun and Lu Xiaofeng, then bent down and picked up the small jar of wine that Lu Xiaofeng bought back, opened the curtain and went in again without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng leaned closer to Xie Linyun's ear again, and said decisively: "According to my experience, he is in a very bad mood right now!"

Xie Linyun thought to himself, he couldn't think of a way to drive her away, it was strange that he was in a good mood.

Yes, Xie Linyun didn't intend to leave at all.

In Dongting back then, because she didn't want to embarrass the scene and herself too much, she let Huang Yaoshi go without asking.

If she hadn't recalled it, then maybe she could really let it go and not pursue it like Dugu Qiubai persuaded; but now she already knows that he is just trying to make her feel stuck in her throat, and it would be stupid to let him go easily.

Thinking of this, the boat also gradually approached the shore and stopped at the private ferry on the other side of the South Lake.

Lu Xiaofeng jumped off the boat first, and ran to talk to the owner of the private ferry, it was obviously not the first time he came here.

In this way, Xie Linyun did not follow.

She stared at the unmoving curtain in front of her, wondering if she should lift it in and continue their previous conversation.

Just as she was thinking this way, Huang Yaoshi's voice sounded from inside.

"The wine is hot, do you like it or not," he said.

On the shore of the lake after the heavy rain, the smell of soil invaded most of people's sense of smell.

But as soon as he said it, Xie Linyun felt that the smell of alcohol that came out of the cabin was also very obvious.

The wine is hot wine, boiled in a high-quality Ru kiln open-patterned pot, and the heat rises when poured out, so hot that the cup containing the wine is a little moist.

After Xie Linyun drank a cup, he realized that this cup was very similar to the one he had burned in Dongting back then, with delicate peach patterns on the bottom.

She lowered her eyes, unconsciously exerted more force on her fingertips, and said, "I thought you gave up other hobbies besides cooking."

Huang Yaoshi looked at her, and instead of avoiding the topic, he said calmly, "I haven't given up any hobbies."

Because from a long time ago, cooking wasn't his hobby, cooking for her was.

Xie Linyun misunderstood: "Then you lied to Hong Qi?"

Huang Yaoshi: "...you think too much."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and packed up the hot wine utensils on the low table in front of him, with an attitude that he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Xie Linyun could only drink the remaining half of the jug of wine with doubts, then followed him off the boat, followed him and Lu Xiaofeng to Mr. Zhu's house.

Mr. Zhu's home is hidden in a green bamboo forest. Before entering, Lu Xiaofeng turned his head and told her: "Sister, follow us closely, or you will get lost."

Xie Linyun knew that this kid was kindly reminding him, so he nodded in agreement, not saying that he actually had a simple and rude way to break the formation.

The three of them entered the bamboo forest, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at Mr. Zhu's house.

Xie Linyun originally wanted to explain to the other party why he rushed to the door, but after he went in, he was told by his son, that is, the Zhu Ting that Lu Xiaofeng was talking about. As soon as Mr. Zhu came back, he yelled that he was too tired to go out, so he took a shower and went to bed .

Xie Linyun: "..." OK.

Zhu Ting: "My father hates traveling far away. This time it took him so long. I'm afraid he won't wake up until tomorrow."

Unable to say hello, Xie Linyun had no choice but to say: "Then I will explain to him tomorrow."

Huang Yaoshi: "Are you going to stay here until tomorrow?"

Xie Linyun thought that he meant to drive her away, so he said, "If you have the ability, beat me out."

Huang Yaoshi said what I would do if I hit you, and you can stay as long as you like.

"I'll go first." He tilted his head and told Lu Xiaofeng, "I'll come and visit Uncle Zhu when he has had enough rest. Then I'll examine your sword skills."

Lu Xiaofeng lost his face, and Xie Linyun was not much better.

Dare to love, this person asked that question on purpose!

She could only quickly regret it in front of the two children, and wanted to go with him, and said: "If you don't make it clear, don't try to get rid of me."

Huang Yaoshi snorted softly, turned around and strode out of the bamboo forest.

But he didn't take the road he came in. He turned around in the forest and walked around for a long time before stopping.

Xie Linyun was not good at formations, so he followed him all the way, paying attention to the road under his feet, and when he stopped, he saw a house standing in front of them.

Although there was no plaque on the door of this house, the moment Xie Linyun saw it, he still instinctively felt that this should be Huang Yaoshi's house in Jiaxing.

After following him in, she felt so even more, because all the layout and furnishings in this house were his aesthetics.

It's a pity that there are only two servants in charge of such a large and exquisite house, and they are all elderly people.

When they entered, the two old men were cleaning the courtyard. When they saw Huang Yaoshi coming back, they looked very excited and called out to the young master.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Yeah, I didn't write a letter in advance."

Huang Yaoshi: "Uncle Zhu returned from a long journey and is still resting. I don't want to disturb you, so I will stay overnight."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, as if hesitating for something, finally raised his finger and pointed at Xie Linyun, and ordered the two servants: "Find her clean clothes."

The aged servant immediately responded, and turned to Xie Linyun after he finished, squinting his eyes and said kindly: "Young lady, come with me."

Xie Linyun did not hesitate, and followed directly.

Firstly, it was really uncomfortable to wear wet clothes, but when it came time to change clothes, even if Huang Yaoshi wanted to get rid of her, he would not be able to go far, so she had nothing to worry about.

The servant didn't inquire about her identity, so he took her to the back room silently, found her a blue dress, and apologized when it was handed over to her: "This is the maid's clothes at home. Also ask the girl to settle down."

Xie Linyun didn't mind: "It's okay, thank you, old man."

After changing clothes and returning to the front yard, Xie Linyun was told by another servant that Huang Yaoshi had gone to the underground wine cellar.

"The young master is definitely going to entertain the girl with the wine he brewed himself." This servant was more talkative than the one who brought her to change clothes, "The girl just sit and wait for a while."

Xie Linyun nodded and waited for a while, and sure enough, Huang Yaoshi came back with a jar of wine.

As soon as he came back, the two servants withdrew immediately, leaving the yard to them both.

Xie Linyun thought about it, and thanked him for the clothes.

He didn't say anything, just pushed the poured wine in front of her.

Xie Linyun: "...I don't want to drink, I just want to hear you explain what happened back then."

He paused and raised his eyes, and said calmly, "Aren't you very sure about your guess?"

"But I can't figure out why?" Xie Linyun said, "You tormented me, making me feel uncomfortable just thinking of you like a stick in my throat. There must be a reason?"

"I didn't mean to torture you." He denied it calmly, but didn't say anything more.

Rao Xie Linyun knew his character early in the morning, so he couldn't help being very angry at the moment: "You...!"

Huang Yaoshi ignored her, and started drinking on his own, as if you were taking care of yourself.

Xie Linyun was furious: "You just rely on me not to do anything to you!"

"You can do it." He calmly said.

"You know I won't." After a long absence, she felt a little aggrieved.

"Why not?" He asked back, "Are you still reluctant?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Linyun didn't even care about her grievances. She slammed her fist on the stone table with such force that it almost shattered the entire stone table.

The conversation between the two was interrupted like this.

It's a pity that the two servants who were not present didn't know anything about it. When they brought her food at night, they told her with a smile that these dishes were all ordered by Huang Yaoshi.

"I watched the young master grow up, and this is the first time I've seen him care so much about someone. I even remember the taste clearly."

Xie Linyun suffocated in his heart, he didn't want to eat after two mouthfuls.

But she didn't put down the chopsticks right away, but tentatively asked the servant who delivered the food, has your young master been so bad-tempered since he was a child?

The servant looked puzzled: "The young master's temper is not strange at all."

Xie Linyun: "???" What kind of thick filter is this? !

"By the way, girl, I'm going to do laundry in a while. The clothes you changed today will be taken away in a while, and I'll bring them to you after washing and drying." The servant said again.

Even though Xie Linyun was full of anger towards Huang Yaoshi, there was absolutely no reason to vent his anger on his servants, not to mention that the elderly man in front of him treated her very tenderly.

She nodded and thanked her earnestly.

The servant smiled and walked around behind the screen to get the clothes she passed over, and he did not forget to remind her: "If there are purses and brochures, it's not good to wash them together. Will the girl check it?"

Xie Linyun only remembered after being reminded like this. At that time, she was in a hurry to change her clothes and go out, so she did not take out the things in her pockets.

First of all, the purse stuffed with a lot of silver bills, and then the handkerchief in the sleeve pocket, all dry.

She put down her chopsticks, went to pick out these two things, and said, "There is nothing else."

The servant who was supposed to pick up the stack of clothes froze on the spot.

Xie Linyun followed the other person's line of sight and found that she was staring at the handkerchief. His heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he said, "Your young master gave it to me. He said it was embroidered by his mother before she was alive."

Only then did the servant come back to his senses, nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, it was indeed embroidered by Madam herself."

Seeing her reaction, Xie Linyun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I thought this thing was too expensive for me to accept, but I returned it to your young master, and he said he would give it all away, so there is no need to return it. "

"How can I pay it back, the lady embroidered it for her future daughter-in-law!" The old man said with bright eyes, "Of course I can't pay it back."

"Wait..." Xie Linyun was stunned, "Mo, could it be that I made a mistake..."

"How can I be mistaken, I watched the handkerchief my wife embroidered with my own eyes." Speaking of this, her tone became more respectful, "No wonder, why did the young master suddenly bring someone back, he , I must have already identified you, girl, in my heart."

Xie Linyun tried to explain, but said in a difficult voice: "It's not he who brought me back, it's me who insisted on following me."

After she finished speaking, she felt that the words seemed ambiguous, and added: "I have something to ask him, so I followed here!"

The old man who has stayed in this house for many years has a different understanding: "The young master knows that you are following, and he is willing to come home, which means that he does not mind letting you follow in the house."

Xie Linyun: "..." Why does it get weirder the more I say it!

Xie Linyun really didn't expect things to develop like this.

After the smiling old man went out with her clothes in her arms, she sat under the lamp and stared at the handkerchief in a daze for a while, only to feel even more confused when she recovered.

Looking at the familiar meals in front of her again, she rubbed her brows helplessly.

So according to the servants in the house, Huang Yaoshi... likes her?

How is it possible, Xie Linyun thought, how can someone like someone else go and say they want to break up.

But if he really just wanted to torture her, why would he give up something so important to him?

Xie Linyun couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and couldn't eat anymore. She wanted to ask him directly with this handkerchief several times, but hesitated at how to speak.

She couldn't even type out half a sentence.

Just when she was going crazy like never before, she heard the sound of a flute coming from outside the window.

It is different from when it is used in fighting during the day, this tune is blown out for people to listen to, it does not feel uncomfortable, but a bit sad.

Xie Linyun had also listened to Huang Yaoshi playing the flute before, and there were all kinds of tunes. Although she didn't know any of them, she could somewhat distinguish the emotions in some tunes.

Most of the time, Huang Yaoshi was in a calm mood. He played the flute like weeping, but the weeping only existed in the melody itself, and he was only in charge of playing.

So what Xie Linyun felt the most was—it sounds nice.

Tonight was different.

She doesn't know the rhythm, so she can't tell what is different, but after listening to half of the song, she feels more and more like this.

At last she got up and went out, but without a handkerchief.

When she followed the flute sound to the atrium, this piece, which sounded a bit sad to her, was about to finish playing.

The moonlight flowed and landed on his blue shirt, and the corners of the clothes shone with faint light, as if gathering all the spiritual energy in the world at this moment.

The next moment, he turned his head and looked at her, his eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was asking her what she was doing here.

Xie Linyun: "I heard you playing the piece, and you are getting better and better at it, even better than when you tested me that time."

When Huang Yaoshi heard the last sentence, his eyes moved, and he said, "Do you still remember that song?"

Xie Linyun: "I have a good memory."

There was a distance of almost ten feet between the two, one bowed the head and the other turned sideways, their gazes were subtly turned elsewhere, for unknown reasons.

There was a summer night wind blowing from a distance, rustling the bamboo leaves surrounding the mansion.

This should have been a good time to ask again, but when Xie Linyun thought of his servant's words, he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he took the initiative to break the silence and said: "That piece of music is originally a qin piece. I played it with the flute, so it's inevitable that I couldn't fully express it."

"But it doesn't matter." He said to himself, "It's impossible for me to play this piece of music to others, and you have never understood it."

"But I really don't understand rhythm." Xie Linyun was a little unhappy when he heard the accusation at the end of his sentence, "You never told me, how do I understand?"

Even if he doesn't talk about that song, when he does other things, he always follows his temper. When he wants to, he can completely break up a thing, and when he doesn't want to, he doesn't explain a word.

Thinking of this, all the qi that had been entrenched in my heart for more than half a year came back in an instant.

"Yes, you are smart, I am stupid, I admit it." Xie Linyun said, "But I also sincerely want to make friends with you."

"When I was in retreat, every time I thought of you, I told myself that I couldn't think of the result anyway, so it's better not to think about it. Dugu also advised me like this, asking me to let myself go, but now it's you who don't let me go, You won't make me feel better..."

"Even if you are really tired of being friends with a fool like me, you can still give me an accurate answer, or are you happy to see me with a stick in my throat?"

Huang Yaoshi stood where he was and looked at her with obscure eyes.

After a long time, he said softly: "That song is called Feng Qiuhuang."

When Xie Linyun heard the word "quzi" at first, she thought he was avoiding the important and neglecting the important, but when she heard the word "Feng Qiuhuang" later, she was completely stunned on the spot.

Huang Yaoshi didn't move, his lips were tightly pressed, and he continued: "I know that you are sincerely making friends with me. But I don't want to be your friend, do you understand?"
