[Lu Xiaofeng Sword III] The Emei faction is playing a big game of chess

The Hua family in the south of the Yangtze River is a well-known family of merchants in Jianghu, and its wealth is comparable to that of Yan Tieshan's Jewelry Pavilion.It's just that Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion is mainly engaged in jewelry business, while Huajia focuses on real estate.

Judging from the status quo that the Hua family can almost be called the richest man in the world, even in ancient times, the house was a topic that could not be hurt.The Hua family has a lot of real estate, and the Peach Blossom Fort where the old man of the Hua family held his [-]th birthday banquet covers a very large area, so naturally the guests who came to celebrate his birthday would not be allowed to stay outside.

The place where Ye Zhiran lived was not assigned to the Emei faction, but with Ye Gucheng.When the attendants of the Hua family led them to the quiet and elegant courtyard on the right side of Ziwei Pavilion, the corners of Ye Zhiran's mouth twitched fiercely.Fourth senior sister, that voice you yelled on Mount Emei completely sold out your dear little junior sister!

As the sun sets in the west, the twilight blends in and out, and the orange-yellow sunset smudges the distant sky into a majestic glow.The small courtyard where Ye Zhiran lives is located in a quiet and quiet place. In the courtyard, the beautiful Xifu crabapple flowers are in full bloom, and the pink petals are fluttering down.A few flower petals were scattered on the bluestone table under the tree, obviously just fallen, and the servants hadn't had time to clean it yet.

The wide and soft sleeves brushed over the stone table, Ye Zhiran put the ebony tray down on the table, grasped the white jade wine jug on the plate with her slender five fingers and gently placed it on the stone table, then took two small wine glasses lightly Once placed.White fingers pressed the round lid of the flagon, and the other hand picked up the flagon, and the clear liquid was slowly poured into the cup.

Ye Zhiran filled the two wine glasses gently, reached out and pushed one of them to the opposite side, and picked up the other wine glass.The cool evening breeze blew, and the flower branches covered with flowers swayed in the wind, and a few pale pink petals swirled and fell.

A girl in a pink gauze dress was sitting at the stone table under the flower tree, her slender white fingers resting on the white jade-like wine glass, and the soft hem of the dress hung down from her knees, brushing against the bluestone floor.She lowered her head and took a sip of the sake in the glass, then said lightly,

"If you don't come out again, when the petals float down and fall into the wine glass, you won't be able to drink it."

A light blue figure jumped down from the courtyard wall, moving freely and freely, smiling lightly and walking towards the tree.

"Even if the petals of such a good wine fall, I must drink it."

The voice is clear and magnetic, with a warm smile.Ye Zhiran glanced back at him, watched the slender figure slowly walk to the opposite side, and Shi Shiran sat down.

"If there is a door, you have to climb the wall. What kind of habit does Daxia Lu have?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head with a smile, picked up the wine glass on the table and put it to his lips, the clear and intoxicating aroma of the wine filled his nose.The corner of his eyes lit up, and he raised his head and drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp.

"Good wine!" The man in Tsing Yi kept pouring himself another glass after drinking, "What kind of wine is this, why have I never drank it before?"

"Have you heard of 'Bai Yundai was drunk in the willow forest, and the fragrance of wine wafted from the ends of the earth'?"

"Xifeng wine?" Lu Xiaofeng put the wine glass close to his nose, took a deep breath, then drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile, "I've drank Xifeng wine before, but it seems different from this."

"What's the difference?"

Lu Xiaofeng turned the wine glass and pondered for a moment, "The aroma of the wine is more mellow, mellow and elegant, with a lingering aftertaste." He looked up at the girl in pink on the opposite side, "Given it by City Lord Ye?"

Ye Zhiran glanced at him, "Can't I brew it myself?"

"You know how to make wine?!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at her with burning eyes, and his dark eyes became even brighter.

Ye Zhiran raised her hand and slowly filled her wine glass, raised her eyes and smiled, "Don't you believe it?"

"You never said that."

"You never asked."

The girl in pink lowered her head and took a sip of the wine, and looked at him with a smile while resting her forehead on one hand, "The brewing method of this wine is based on the ancient recipe of the Tang Dynasty. It was brewed when I was in Mount Emei. Uncle brought three jars of wine, and there are five jars on Mount Emei."

Lu Xiaofeng put down the wine glass in his hand and said solemnly, "Zhiran, I have never visited your Emei faction after knowing you and Xiuzhen for so long. Why don't I go to Mount Emei immediately after Uncle Hua's birthday banquet this time, what do you think?"

Ye Zhiran gave him a blank look, "You just went for the wine, right? Well, have you forgotten why you came to see me?"

Lu Xiaofeng stopped drinking and turned to look at her, "How do you know that I'm looking for you for business?"

The girl in pink snorted lightly, "It's okay, you will come to me?"

"...I'm not such a jerk, am I?"

"Of course you do!" Ye Zhiran waved her hand, "Okay, hurry up. I will go to the Menghe Lantern Festival with Fourth Senior Sister later."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled helplessly, put down his wine glass, and explained to her in detail the annual drama of "Catching the Iron Shoe Thief" planned by Mr. Hua for Huamanlou, and by the way solemnly announced that he would be a guest star in this annual drama in the end The ending will be the corner of the iron shoe thief who was stabbed to death by Hua Manlou with a sword.

"That is to say, you mean that I will not go out when I hear any noise at night?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "By the way, please take care of City Lord Ye."

Ye Zhiran nodded understandingly, although she felt that even if Ye Gucheng's personality really made a difference, he would not go out as long as he didn't provoke him here.Not everyone likes to get into trouble like a certain chick.Thinking of this, she gave Lu Xiaofeng a sideways glance.

"anything else?"

"What else?!" Lu Xiaofeng opened his eyes wide in astonishment, "What else?"

"Don't be stupid, you must have something to say. Come on, lest we accidentally destroy your plan, it won't look good."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes drifted towards Ye Gucheng's room, looked up at the sky, shook his head and smiled wryly, "I really can't hide anything from you."

It was getting late, and the setting sun streaming in from the window was no longer enough to illuminate the whole room. The light in the room was a little dim, and a flickering candle was burning beside the desk, and the soft warm light filled the space around the desk.

Ye Gucheng stood quietly beside the book case, holding the pen with his right hand, and the elegant regular script flowed smoothly on the plain white paper.There was a soft knock on the door, his eyes fell on the paper, and his hands kept moving.

"Come in."

The wooden door was pulled open with a creak, and the sound of light footsteps extended from the door to the round table in the living room.After a pause, he walked all the way to him, and then fell silent.

With a turn of the pen, the last stroke is closed.Ye Gucheng straightened up and put the brush back on the pen holder, looking back.The girl in a pink dress stood quietly behind him, her gaze fell on the pen he had just put down.

"Official business in Baiyun City?"

Ye Gucheng nodded slightly, put the processed letter paper aside, took her hand and walked towards the living room.The little girl next to him obediently followed behind him, keeping silent for a rare time.Ye Gucheng turned his head, the girl in pink lowered her head slightly, her eyes drooped slightly, and the eyes shone like a pool of autumn water under the long eyelashes.

His footsteps paused slightly, "What's wrong?"

Ye Zhiran raised her eyes to look at him, then quickly lowered her eyes. "After coming out of Baiyun City...does it take a lot of your time?"

Ye Gucheng's side as a top swordsman gave her such a deep impression that she almost forgot that he was still the lord of the city.In addition to the sword, he also shoulders the responsibility of managing the entire city.

Ye Gucheng stopped walking and looked down at her.The little girl lowered her head, bit her lip lightly with her small white teeth, her expression was two parts apologetic and two parts annoyed.The man in white held her hand tightly, continued to walk towards the table, and pulled her to sit down at the table.

"No problem." He looked at the little girl who was still bowing her head apologetically, "The things in Baiyun City are not as onerous as you imagine."

Ye Zhiran quietly raised her eyes to look at him, "Really?"

Ye Gucheng nodded slightly, "Just go back before the end of the month."

Breathing a sigh of relief, the girl in pink tilted her head and said with a sweet smile, "Then let's go back to Baiyun City after Uncle Hua's [-]th birthday party is over."

back?The corners of Ye Gucheng's lips were slightly curved, although the curvature was extremely inconspicuous, but at that moment, his complexion softened, and the breath around him was even slightly warm.The girl who didn't notice this stood up and picked up the food box on the table, looked back at the man beside her and said with a smile, "I just asked the attendants of the Hua family, and they said that you don't plan to go to the banquet tonight. In fact, I didn't really want to go, so I just asked the kitchen to prepare some meals and send them over. They just delivered them to my room, so I came directly to find you. "

She turned her head and looked around the room.The door of the room was wide open, but the room was still a little dark.She looked out twice, blinked, and looked back at Ye Gucheng, "Let's go out to eat."

Transferred the food to the stone table under the tree, the jug of wine had been taken away by Lu Xiaofeng along with the jug just now, leaving only two cups on the table.Ye Zhiran simply went into the room and came out with a pot of wine and a cup, and raised her hand to help the city lord fill it up.

The man in white sat down at the stone table and glanced at another empty wine glass on the table. "Lu Xiaofeng came here just now?"

"Yeah," Ye Zhiran nodded, and poured herself a glass without stopping, "What happened to Huamanlou's house seems to have happened... The iron shoe thief? Well, the name is really strange... just now Come and tell me not to go out no matter what noise you hear at night."

She briefly described what Lu Xiaofeng came to talk about, and did not mention any deeper plans.The city lord is not as idle as she is, so he probably won't be interested.

Sure enough, Ye Gucheng nodded lightly after listening. Although he heard some doubts, he didn't ask any questions. His eyes turned to the wine Ye Zhiran handed over, and his brows raised slightly.

"Xifeng Wine, I brewed it myself. You should try it, Lord City Lord."

The girl in pink is holding a small porcelain cup in both hands, the corners of her lips are slightly raised, her big bright eyes are shimmering, as if there are water colors flowing, shining and clear.Ye Gucheng raised his eyes to meet her with a slightly expectant gaze, and the hand that took the porcelain cup froze slightly, as if a feather gently swept over his heart.The corners of his lips curled into a very shallow arc. As a swordsman, he doesn't like to drink alcohol, but it's okay to drink it occasionally.

The clear wine fragrance fills the lips, the wine fragrance is rich and mellow, with a long tail, it is indeed a good wine.Ye Gucheng put down his wine glass, met the bright eyes of the girl opposite, and slightly parted his thin lips, "Not bad."

As soon as the words fell, a gorgeous smile bloomed on the lips of the girl opposite, as if the flowers were blooming and the sun was warming, and the clouds were breaking through the moon, suppressing the colorful crabapple trees behind her.In the soft and warm glow, it seemed that she was the only one to be seen.

"Hey, let me just say it! Lu Xiaofeng also said it was delicious just now. I mean, even if I don't know how to cook, at least I can make wine. Last time, the third senior brother even said that I am not gentle and gentle at all, and I will be sure in the future If he can’t get married, he definitely did it on purpose because he lost to me in the sword competition last time!”

Skip the sentence in her words "I can't get married." What Ye Gucheng noticed was another point, "You can't cook?"

Ye Zhiran paused, blinked, blinked again, finally turned her head away, and nodded depressedly.As a girl with a traditional education, she actually feels that cooking is an essential skill for an excellent classical girl.Isn't there a saying that to conquer a man, you must first conquer his stomach?Although she didn't think about really conquering anyone, it's always good to prepare in advance, right?

However, she has learned this magical skill in her previous life, her last life, and this life, but she has never learned it!Sister Ye Zhiran thinks that this shouldn't be her problem. She still hasn't figured out how that magical stove works in ancient times.How to control the heat!No matter what she fry, it will be burnt in the wok!The smoke was so high that nine out of ten times it attracted a large crowd of people who thought she accidentally set the kitchen on fire.

One day, she challenged the kitchen for the nth time, and the third senior brother who passed by couldn't stand it anymore. Confused, she couldn't imagine whether this thing was really that difficult, so she gave it a try... Then Ye Zhiran's sister was hit hard... Never go into the kitchen again.

Until now, Miss Ye's kitchen skills are still at level zero, and she thinks that all her innate skill points in her life are probably spent on swordsmanship...

Facing Miss Ye's depressed face scratching the wall, Ye Gucheng's calm water-like eyes showed little spots of undetectable smiles.His gaze fell to her hand holding the cup on the table.The fingers are white and slender, the joints are round and soft, and the light blue meridians can be faintly seen under the almost transparent white skin.

This is a pair of hands holding a sword and playing a piano.

Such a hand does not need to be stained with any worldly smoke and fire.

So, he heard his own voice say flatly, "You really don't have to learn to cook." Because you are different from those girls.

The author has something to say: Does anyone still remember what the author said before... "When a man feels that there is a girl in his heart who is different from other girls, he is not far from falling in love with her. "

City Lord Ye, the author said "hehe..."
