Chapter 38 3 Girls First Meeting
Chapter 38
"Miss Xiao, you missed your appointment last time, why?" The woman's eyebrows showed a slightly unhappy look.
The woman known as Xiao Niangzi smiled apologetically: "I'm very sorry, Lian Niangzi, last time I was waiting for your visit at the Taiping Ju Restaurant, and I waited for more than two hours when something unexpected happened, so I had to leave in a hurry. Go, I'm the one who broke the appointment, and I hope even the little lady will forgive me."
Lian Ruohan received Linger's picture last time about the bamboo tube left by Xiao Jia. She was happy to see Lie Xin, and said goodbye to Wen Changju to go to Xiao Jia's appointment. She didn't want to wait for her to arrive, but Xiao Jia left without saying goodbye, which made her very angry. .Later, Xiao Jia asked her several times, but she turned it down and disappeared, which is also her rule of not doing business with untrustworthy people.
Soon after, Xiao Jia sent a few more pieces of lacquer ware. The lacquer ware was exquisitely crafted with extremely fine patterns, which once again aroused Lian Ruohan's elegance. Coupled with the sincere letter written by Xiao Jia, she agreed to talk to Xiao again. Jia see the previous side.
It is really helpless for Xiao Jia to break the appointment. In fact, the matter is also related to Xia Xiang. If Xia Xiang and Xia Cun were not arguing in the street, even Ruohan would not have lost time because of watching the battle.It was because Lian Ruohan was so invested that he forgot the time that Linger did not dare to deliver the letter in time. It was also because of this that Xiao Jia had been waiting for more than two hours when Lian Ruohan arrived at Taiping Residence.
Let Xiao Jia wait for another two hours, and Xiao Jia has no complaints.It's just that Li Dingshan suddenly appeared and asked Xiao Jia to go to Song Chaodu's mansion to discuss matters with him immediately.Xiao Jia knew that Song Chaodu was Li Dingshan's most trusted person, so he had to go with Li Dingshan even though he was reluctant to give up.
But it turned out that Song Chaodu had already learned that the emperor intended to let Wen Changju replace Yang Di as the chief examiner of this year's exam. Wen Changju had never liked Li Dingshan's writing style. As Li Dingshan's student, Xia Xiang's writing style must be difficult to catch Wen Changju's eyes. If this is the case, Xia Xiang's path to becoming a scholar this year may be slim.
Xiao Jia was taken aback, if Xia Xiang failed this exam, he would have to wait another three years.Although there are fifty young Jinshi and thirty old Mingjing, there are not a few people who have won Jinshi at the age of [-] or [-] and the age of weakness. Besides, in her opinion, with Xia Xiang's talent, not being the champion is a Qucai. .
What can I do?Xiao Jia was extremely anxious.
Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan didn't care, Song Chaodu was even more calm, and also advised Xiao Jia to be calm and not restless. With him and Li Dingshan, Xia Xiang would not have nowhere to go.
Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan discussed it and came up with an idea.Xiao Jia couldn't understand how Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan's ideas could ensure that Xia Xiang would not be deliberately obstructed by Wen Changju and fell off the list, but she didn't understand and didn't ask too much. She also knew that Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan had been in the court for many years. The light-lifting wisdom of the court is a height that she can't reach.
She does not have court wisdom, but has business acumen.
During the time he met Lian Ruohan again, Xiao Jia did not sit idle. He designed several lacquer wares for An Ziru, which won the praise of many high-ranking officials and ladies, and the Anjia lacquerware became famous.An Ziru no longer disbelieved Xiao Jia, and believed that Xiao Jia was her destined nobleman, and obeyed Xiao Jia's words.Xiao Jia seems to have become half the shopkeeper of Anjia Lacquerware.
After inviting Lian Ruohan again, Xiao Jia was well prepared. Not only did he improve the bamboo tube he sent to Lian Ruohan before, but he also made a few new pieces of lacquerware.Sure enough, at first sight, Lian Ruohan liked her very much, and invited her to Anzhiju for tea.
Although Lian Ruohan was a little annoyed that Xiao Jia left without saying goodbye last time, she also knew that Xiao Jia was not someone who had nothing to do with her. She also saw Xiao Jia's blue-hearted nature from Xiao Jia's pictures and lacquerware. She has always liked women with spiritual energy and wisdom, and she is also willing to make friends with Xiao Jia.It's just because of her nature that she still deliberately embarrassed Xiao Jiayi.
After Lian Ruohan was full, he motioned Xiao Jia to sit down, and his tone was indifferent but unquestionable: "Little lady Xiao, let's forget about the past, so I won't mention it. If you do business with me in the future, I will still take care of everything. Do what I want, can you agree?"
Xiao Jia smiled indifferently: "That's natural. I admire Lady Lian's demeanor like the bright moon in the sky. Since I follow Lady Lian, I must be the only one to follow her. But..."
"But what?" Lian Ruohan's expression turned cold, "With me, there is no room for bargaining."
"Don't get me wrong, even the lady, I'm not bargaining, but I want to say that the lady has the final say over the big things, such as the style and color of the tea bamboo tube, and the size, shape and quality of the lacquerware that Haojingchang used in the inn. The cost, I don't have to worry about the lady."
Lian Ruohan nodded slightly, although his expression remained calm, there was a hint of admiration in the corner of his eyes.Xiao Jia is indeed an extremely smart woman. She knows the general situation, knows the proportions, and can put her position in the right place, so she can do things together.
Xiao Jia smiled sweetly. She also knew that Lian Ruohan would definitely take some points in front of her. In all fairness, she also respected Lian Ruohan's ability and revered Haojingchang's amazing strength. discoloration.
"Miss Lian, there are people in the room." Xiao Jia stopped abruptly, looked around, and scanned every corner of the room one by one, finally stopped at the screen, and shouted angrily, "Who? Come out."
In terms of business intelligence and strategy, Lian Ruohan is naturally much smarter than Xiao Jia, but in terms of vigilance and skill, she is far inferior to Xiao Jia.When Xiao Jia was drinking tea, he was surprised to find that there was water in the teacup, and the temperature of the water was cold. Obviously someone was here.Of course, it would be unfair to judge someone just by the presence of water in the teacup, and Lian Ruohan was stunned for a while. I don't know how Xiao Jia noticed someone in the room and made it clear that the person was behind the screen.
Xiao Jia has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he feels much more sensitive than the average person.However, her martial arts are not strong, and she only has the power to protect herself. If you change the mantra, you don't have to find out that there is water in the teacup to detect someone in the room, but you can only find that the atmosphere in the room is wrong as soon as you enter the door.After practicing martial arts for a long time, the body is much more sensitive to the external environment than ordinary people.
"Where are there people? How can there be people?" Lian Ruohan saw that no one answered, and the screen remained motionless, thinking that Xiao Jia had made a mistake, "It's just that Xiao Er forgot to clean the pavilion and left the guests' tea, so it may not be someone in the room. "
Xiao Jia's expression became even more solemn, because she felt the killing intent coming from behind the screen. The killing intent was too violent, which made her suffocate and panic. She took a step back and blocked Lian Ruohan behind her. : "Let the lady go quickly, it's in danger."
Lian Ruohan refused to leave, with a calm expression: "Let's not say that there is no one else in the room, even if there is, it is not necessarily a bad person. Step back [-] steps, even if it is a bad person, it is not necessarily dangerous. Xiao Niang, everything is in danger. Don't be too arbitrary, you might as well think more about it..."
Before Lian Ruohan could finish speaking, Xiao Jia had been forced by the surging killing intent behind the screen to make it difficult for her to calm down. She stretched out her right hand, the arrow in her sleeve shot out, and the sound of "pop" penetrated the screen made of silk. ,Disappear.
The arrow in the sleeve was like a mud bull into the sea, neither responding nor making a sound, as if it had shot into the boundless night.Behind the screen is the window, Xiao Jia knows that with the strength of the arrow in her sleeve, after penetrating the screen, if no one is there, it will hit the window lattice.There will be a "ding" sound from the window lattice in the arrow.When the arrow hits the human body, there will be a "pop" sound, rather than a silent sound.
From this, Xiao Jia further concluded that there was someone behind the screen, and the arrow in her sleeve was caught by the other party.
The person who can catch the arrow in her sleeve with his bare hands must be a master. Xiao Jia was shocked, he pulled Lian Ruohan and rushed out of the door: "Lady Lian, let's go!"
Lian Ruohan was slightly panicked, but after a while, she calmed down. At this time, she also believed that someone was in the room. Instead of retreating, she stepped forward and took a few steps forward: "I don't know where the master is coming, please come and see. Masters, hiding and hiding has lost the demeanor of masters."
Xiao Jia was anxious. The expert behind the screen didn't know whether she was an enemy or a friend. If she made a bold move, not only would she not be able to save Lian Ruohan, but she might not be able to save herself. In a desperate situation, she could not stop Lian Ruohan, so she had to stand up When he got out, he immediately stepped forward, blocking Lian Ruohan's body.
Lian Ruohan's heart moved slightly, what a kind and righteous woman.Xiao Jia and her never knew each other. Although Xiao Jia wanted to do business with her and wanted to do business with her, she couldn't fight for her life. She secretly appreciated Xiao Jia's courage and determination.
"I didn't hide, but you two turned against the guest and entered my room without permission, talking loudly, disturbing my silence, and hurting people with arrows." As soon as the voice sounded, Mantuo flashed out from behind the screen, There was an arrow between the two fingers of her right hand. She looked indifferent and only glanced at Lian Ruohan and Xiao Jia lightly, "Give it back to you!"
With a flick of his wrist, a short arrow flew out, catching Xiao Jia's face.Xiao Jia was shocked, her heart was stunned, just hearing the sound of arrows whistling like the wind, she knew that the opponent's martial arts was too much higher than her. Without moving, the short arrow has arrived.
Xiao Jia closed her eyes and cried out to stop. She didn't want to see Lian Ruohan and Lian Ruohan's big event coming to an end, but he was suddenly killed by a murderer. The encounter in life is really embarrassing.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he didn't feel any pain, but he felt the wind in his ears, and a soft "ding" sound came from behind him. Xiao Jia opened his eyes and turned around. The short arrow sank into the powder wall behind him. There is an inch to spare!
Xiao Jia sucked in a breath of cold air. Although she is not a martial arts expert, she also knows that the arrow in her sleeve is fired by the spring in the sleeve. The strength of the two fingers is so amazing, so there is no doubt that the other party is a first-class master.
How could such a weak woman have such profound martial arts?In addition to being shocked, Xiao Jia can't help but admire her a little bit. If she can have half of the skills of the little lady in front of her, she will be able to walk around the rivers and lakes unstoppable.
Even Ruohan was taken aback, thinking that the other party would kill if he disagreed with him, but when he saw that Xiao Jia was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and regained his composure.Taking a closer look at the person in front of him, he couldn't help being startled again.
What a little lady who is as beautiful as the moon and cold as an iceberg!
The beauty of Lian Ruohan is like a green lotus, which can be seen from a distance but cannot be appreciated up close.Although fluttering like immortals has the meaning of being out of the dust, it is rooted in the water, both in the world and out of the world.Both beautiful and proud, look down on the crowd.
The beauty of Xiao Jia is like the orchid in the empty valley, and the solitary fragrance is self-admiring.Although left behind and independent, it is difficult to hide his longing for the prosperity of the world.Both beautiful and flamboyant, splendid and overwhelming.
And the beauty of the little lady in front of her is like a bright moon in the sky, bright and flawless, but she doesn't leave smoke and dust or eat fireworks in the world.Another example is the snow lotus on the iceberg, which is unattainable and ignores the beauty of others.
If it is said that Lian Ruohan's arrogance is noble or condescending, while Mantuo's arrogance is cold and not too heartfelt.
Lian Ruohan lightly opened her lips: "The slave family's surname is Lian, and it is the owner of the good times. Today's matter is that the store owner made a mistake, and I didn't know there was someone in the room, so I came in and disturbed the lady, please forgive me."
Xiao Jia also came back to his senses at this time. After thinking about it, he also felt that he was at fault first, so he bowed: "Just now, I was reckless. I shouldn't shoot arrows at the lady, but also look at the lady Haihan."
Mantuo did not return the salute, he sat down, poured a cup of tea, and drank it: "The two of you, the rudeness was the first, and the recklessness was the second. If it wasn't for me that I still have some skills, I just shot an arrow, and I can't say that I would have died on the spot. ."
Xiao Jia blushed and felt ashamed: "My lady invited me, what happened just now is indeed my fault. If you want to punish me, it doesn't matter. I was also forced by my lady's aura, and I didn't hurt anyone. "
Mantuo naturally knew that Xiao Jia shot arrows at her because she was forced to kill, and the reason why she let her kill accidentally was also aroused by Xiao Jia's breath.Xiao Jia is not good at learning martial arts, and when he is nervous, he will let out a lot of breath, and it is easy for his opponents to find out the depth.
"Please leave the two ladies here, don't disturb my tea." Mantuo waved his hand lightly, and lay down on the soft couch, "Let's go, go."
Without waiting for Xiao Jia to make a move, Lian Ruohan took a few steps forward, sat in front of Mantuo, raised her right hand lightly, like running clouds and flowing water, and brewed a new pot of tea. She first poured a cup for Mantuo, and then poured it for herself. Half a cup, toasted over the top: "There was a lot of offense just now, I apologize to the lady again!"
After speaking, he finished his cup of tea in one sip.
Mantuo didn't even look at Lian Ruohan, she was still half lying on the soft couch, she said lazily, "I'm coming to your tea shop to drink tea, just to be quiet, and I don't want to be disturbed, no matter how small. The second is the owner. I have already forgotten what happened just now, and I asked the lady to return me to be quiet."
Lian Ruohan poured a second tea for himself, raised his glass, and drank it again, regardless of whether Mantuo paid any attention to it or not.
Standing behind Lian Ruohan, Xiao Jia felt turmoil in his heart.With Lian Ruohan's status and dignity, treating each other with such condescension and courtesy is all sincere and not deliberately pretending. It can be seen that Lian Ruohan treats people with his own courtesy. If you are wrong, you are wrong. Knowing your mistakes and admitting your mistakes is the way for everyone demeanor.
Mantuo squinted Lian Ruohan and bowed slightly: "Drinking too much tea is also intoxicating. Madam, please."
Lian Ruohan smiled softly: "The lady's accent, the soft Jiangnan accent in Mandarin, must have been raised in Jiangnan since childhood, and then lived in Shangjing. The lady's martial arts are outstanding, but she has a quiet and virtuous temperament. She came from a family of poetry and calligraphy. The lady looks like a fairy, but she is cold as frost, refusing to be thousands of miles away, and she is more vigilant. From this, it can be seen that the lady's family is down and out of life... I don't know if I am right?"
Mantuo sat up suddenly, with a look of surprise, his eyes were like electricity: "Do you recognize me?"
"The first time we met, I didn't know Niangzi's name. The slave family's surname is even Ruohan, she is Xiao Jia." Lian Ruohan told Mantuo truthfully.
"Mantuo." Mantuo reported his family name, but still didn't believe that Lian Ruohan and her met for the first time, "Do you know my father Lin Xiancong?"
"I don't know." Lian Ruohan had indeed never heard of Lin Xianzong, "Could Lady Mantu have a place to stay in the capital?"
Man Tuo thought about it for a while, and she was relieved. When her father Lin Xiansong came to Beijing, she was only ten years old, and when she left Beijing, she was 13 years old.Dad stayed in Beijing for three years, and then he left the capital and never came back.Even the young lady is about the same age as her, so it is normal for her not to know who her father is.What's more, father's official position is minor, and there are already a large number of officials in the capital, and because high-ranking officials and dignitaries are all gathered in the capital, it is not surprising that no one knows about the officials below the third rank.
"What do you want?" Mantuo glanced at Lian Ruohan, although she was very interested in Haojingchangzai along the way, she didn't want to get to know the person at the helm of Haojingchangzai, she directly rejected Lian Ruohan, "Thank you Even the lady is kind, I have a place to live in the capital, so I don't bother."
"A place of shelter is not the same as a safe place." Lian Ruohan is such a smart woman, she can know what everyone needs most in a conversation, she smiled lightly, "If Miss Mantuo doesn't dislike it, good times will always come. I can provide you with a quiet place to live, not only is it quiet, but no one dares to disturb the quietness of the lady. The fault of today's matter is mine, be careful, and I have the right to make amends."
"This way..." Mantuo lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Okay, since it is difficult to even accept the kindness of the lady, I would be more respectful than obeying orders, but it is disrespectful."
Xiao Jia admires Lian Ruohan's knowledge of people. He originally thought that Lian Ruohan would not be able to get a bargain in front of Mantuo. Mantuo lived in the residence arranged by Lian Ruohan, which was equivalent to Mantuo agreeing with Lian Ruohan as a person, otherwise he would not have handed over his safety to Lian Ruohan.
Lian Ruohan, as the master of good times, really has the skills.Not only has the guts and wit, but also the strategy and long-term intentions.Xiao Jia thought so, and became more determined to work with Lian Ruohan.
(End of this chapter)
"Miss Xiao, you missed your appointment last time, why?" The woman's eyebrows showed a slightly unhappy look.
The woman known as Xiao Niangzi smiled apologetically: "I'm very sorry, Lian Niangzi, last time I was waiting for your visit at the Taiping Ju Restaurant, and I waited for more than two hours when something unexpected happened, so I had to leave in a hurry. Go, I'm the one who broke the appointment, and I hope even the little lady will forgive me."
Lian Ruohan received Linger's picture last time about the bamboo tube left by Xiao Jia. She was happy to see Lie Xin, and said goodbye to Wen Changju to go to Xiao Jia's appointment. She didn't want to wait for her to arrive, but Xiao Jia left without saying goodbye, which made her very angry. .Later, Xiao Jia asked her several times, but she turned it down and disappeared, which is also her rule of not doing business with untrustworthy people.
Soon after, Xiao Jia sent a few more pieces of lacquer ware. The lacquer ware was exquisitely crafted with extremely fine patterns, which once again aroused Lian Ruohan's elegance. Coupled with the sincere letter written by Xiao Jia, she agreed to talk to Xiao again. Jia see the previous side.
It is really helpless for Xiao Jia to break the appointment. In fact, the matter is also related to Xia Xiang. If Xia Xiang and Xia Cun were not arguing in the street, even Ruohan would not have lost time because of watching the battle.It was because Lian Ruohan was so invested that he forgot the time that Linger did not dare to deliver the letter in time. It was also because of this that Xiao Jia had been waiting for more than two hours when Lian Ruohan arrived at Taiping Residence.
Let Xiao Jia wait for another two hours, and Xiao Jia has no complaints.It's just that Li Dingshan suddenly appeared and asked Xiao Jia to go to Song Chaodu's mansion to discuss matters with him immediately.Xiao Jia knew that Song Chaodu was Li Dingshan's most trusted person, so he had to go with Li Dingshan even though he was reluctant to give up.
But it turned out that Song Chaodu had already learned that the emperor intended to let Wen Changju replace Yang Di as the chief examiner of this year's exam. Wen Changju had never liked Li Dingshan's writing style. As Li Dingshan's student, Xia Xiang's writing style must be difficult to catch Wen Changju's eyes. If this is the case, Xia Xiang's path to becoming a scholar this year may be slim.
Xiao Jia was taken aback, if Xia Xiang failed this exam, he would have to wait another three years.Although there are fifty young Jinshi and thirty old Mingjing, there are not a few people who have won Jinshi at the age of [-] or [-] and the age of weakness. Besides, in her opinion, with Xia Xiang's talent, not being the champion is a Qucai. .
What can I do?Xiao Jia was extremely anxious.
Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan didn't care, Song Chaodu was even more calm, and also advised Xiao Jia to be calm and not restless. With him and Li Dingshan, Xia Xiang would not have nowhere to go.
Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan discussed it and came up with an idea.Xiao Jia couldn't understand how Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan's ideas could ensure that Xia Xiang would not be deliberately obstructed by Wen Changju and fell off the list, but she didn't understand and didn't ask too much. She also knew that Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan had been in the court for many years. The light-lifting wisdom of the court is a height that she can't reach.
She does not have court wisdom, but has business acumen.
During the time he met Lian Ruohan again, Xiao Jia did not sit idle. He designed several lacquer wares for An Ziru, which won the praise of many high-ranking officials and ladies, and the Anjia lacquerware became famous.An Ziru no longer disbelieved Xiao Jia, and believed that Xiao Jia was her destined nobleman, and obeyed Xiao Jia's words.Xiao Jia seems to have become half the shopkeeper of Anjia Lacquerware.
After inviting Lian Ruohan again, Xiao Jia was well prepared. Not only did he improve the bamboo tube he sent to Lian Ruohan before, but he also made a few new pieces of lacquerware.Sure enough, at first sight, Lian Ruohan liked her very much, and invited her to Anzhiju for tea.
Although Lian Ruohan was a little annoyed that Xiao Jia left without saying goodbye last time, she also knew that Xiao Jia was not someone who had nothing to do with her. She also saw Xiao Jia's blue-hearted nature from Xiao Jia's pictures and lacquerware. She has always liked women with spiritual energy and wisdom, and she is also willing to make friends with Xiao Jia.It's just because of her nature that she still deliberately embarrassed Xiao Jiayi.
After Lian Ruohan was full, he motioned Xiao Jia to sit down, and his tone was indifferent but unquestionable: "Little lady Xiao, let's forget about the past, so I won't mention it. If you do business with me in the future, I will still take care of everything. Do what I want, can you agree?"
Xiao Jia smiled indifferently: "That's natural. I admire Lady Lian's demeanor like the bright moon in the sky. Since I follow Lady Lian, I must be the only one to follow her. But..."
"But what?" Lian Ruohan's expression turned cold, "With me, there is no room for bargaining."
"Don't get me wrong, even the lady, I'm not bargaining, but I want to say that the lady has the final say over the big things, such as the style and color of the tea bamboo tube, and the size, shape and quality of the lacquerware that Haojingchang used in the inn. The cost, I don't have to worry about the lady."
Lian Ruohan nodded slightly, although his expression remained calm, there was a hint of admiration in the corner of his eyes.Xiao Jia is indeed an extremely smart woman. She knows the general situation, knows the proportions, and can put her position in the right place, so she can do things together.
Xiao Jia smiled sweetly. She also knew that Lian Ruohan would definitely take some points in front of her. In all fairness, she also respected Lian Ruohan's ability and revered Haojingchang's amazing strength. discoloration.
"Miss Lian, there are people in the room." Xiao Jia stopped abruptly, looked around, and scanned every corner of the room one by one, finally stopped at the screen, and shouted angrily, "Who? Come out."
In terms of business intelligence and strategy, Lian Ruohan is naturally much smarter than Xiao Jia, but in terms of vigilance and skill, she is far inferior to Xiao Jia.When Xiao Jia was drinking tea, he was surprised to find that there was water in the teacup, and the temperature of the water was cold. Obviously someone was here.Of course, it would be unfair to judge someone just by the presence of water in the teacup, and Lian Ruohan was stunned for a while. I don't know how Xiao Jia noticed someone in the room and made it clear that the person was behind the screen.
Xiao Jia has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he feels much more sensitive than the average person.However, her martial arts are not strong, and she only has the power to protect herself. If you change the mantra, you don't have to find out that there is water in the teacup to detect someone in the room, but you can only find that the atmosphere in the room is wrong as soon as you enter the door.After practicing martial arts for a long time, the body is much more sensitive to the external environment than ordinary people.
"Where are there people? How can there be people?" Lian Ruohan saw that no one answered, and the screen remained motionless, thinking that Xiao Jia had made a mistake, "It's just that Xiao Er forgot to clean the pavilion and left the guests' tea, so it may not be someone in the room. "
Xiao Jia's expression became even more solemn, because she felt the killing intent coming from behind the screen. The killing intent was too violent, which made her suffocate and panic. She took a step back and blocked Lian Ruohan behind her. : "Let the lady go quickly, it's in danger."
Lian Ruohan refused to leave, with a calm expression: "Let's not say that there is no one else in the room, even if there is, it is not necessarily a bad person. Step back [-] steps, even if it is a bad person, it is not necessarily dangerous. Xiao Niang, everything is in danger. Don't be too arbitrary, you might as well think more about it..."
Before Lian Ruohan could finish speaking, Xiao Jia had been forced by the surging killing intent behind the screen to make it difficult for her to calm down. She stretched out her right hand, the arrow in her sleeve shot out, and the sound of "pop" penetrated the screen made of silk. ,Disappear.
The arrow in the sleeve was like a mud bull into the sea, neither responding nor making a sound, as if it had shot into the boundless night.Behind the screen is the window, Xiao Jia knows that with the strength of the arrow in her sleeve, after penetrating the screen, if no one is there, it will hit the window lattice.There will be a "ding" sound from the window lattice in the arrow.When the arrow hits the human body, there will be a "pop" sound, rather than a silent sound.
From this, Xiao Jia further concluded that there was someone behind the screen, and the arrow in her sleeve was caught by the other party.
The person who can catch the arrow in her sleeve with his bare hands must be a master. Xiao Jia was shocked, he pulled Lian Ruohan and rushed out of the door: "Lady Lian, let's go!"
Lian Ruohan was slightly panicked, but after a while, she calmed down. At this time, she also believed that someone was in the room. Instead of retreating, she stepped forward and took a few steps forward: "I don't know where the master is coming, please come and see. Masters, hiding and hiding has lost the demeanor of masters."
Xiao Jia was anxious. The expert behind the screen didn't know whether she was an enemy or a friend. If she made a bold move, not only would she not be able to save Lian Ruohan, but she might not be able to save herself. In a desperate situation, she could not stop Lian Ruohan, so she had to stand up When he got out, he immediately stepped forward, blocking Lian Ruohan's body.
Lian Ruohan's heart moved slightly, what a kind and righteous woman.Xiao Jia and her never knew each other. Although Xiao Jia wanted to do business with her and wanted to do business with her, she couldn't fight for her life. She secretly appreciated Xiao Jia's courage and determination.
"I didn't hide, but you two turned against the guest and entered my room without permission, talking loudly, disturbing my silence, and hurting people with arrows." As soon as the voice sounded, Mantuo flashed out from behind the screen, There was an arrow between the two fingers of her right hand. She looked indifferent and only glanced at Lian Ruohan and Xiao Jia lightly, "Give it back to you!"
With a flick of his wrist, a short arrow flew out, catching Xiao Jia's face.Xiao Jia was shocked, her heart was stunned, just hearing the sound of arrows whistling like the wind, she knew that the opponent's martial arts was too much higher than her. Without moving, the short arrow has arrived.
Xiao Jia closed her eyes and cried out to stop. She didn't want to see Lian Ruohan and Lian Ruohan's big event coming to an end, but he was suddenly killed by a murderer. The encounter in life is really embarrassing.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he didn't feel any pain, but he felt the wind in his ears, and a soft "ding" sound came from behind him. Xiao Jia opened his eyes and turned around. The short arrow sank into the powder wall behind him. There is an inch to spare!
Xiao Jia sucked in a breath of cold air. Although she is not a martial arts expert, she also knows that the arrow in her sleeve is fired by the spring in the sleeve. The strength of the two fingers is so amazing, so there is no doubt that the other party is a first-class master.
How could such a weak woman have such profound martial arts?In addition to being shocked, Xiao Jia can't help but admire her a little bit. If she can have half of the skills of the little lady in front of her, she will be able to walk around the rivers and lakes unstoppable.
Even Ruohan was taken aback, thinking that the other party would kill if he disagreed with him, but when he saw that Xiao Jia was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and regained his composure.Taking a closer look at the person in front of him, he couldn't help being startled again.
What a little lady who is as beautiful as the moon and cold as an iceberg!
The beauty of Lian Ruohan is like a green lotus, which can be seen from a distance but cannot be appreciated up close.Although fluttering like immortals has the meaning of being out of the dust, it is rooted in the water, both in the world and out of the world.Both beautiful and proud, look down on the crowd.
The beauty of Xiao Jia is like the orchid in the empty valley, and the solitary fragrance is self-admiring.Although left behind and independent, it is difficult to hide his longing for the prosperity of the world.Both beautiful and flamboyant, splendid and overwhelming.
And the beauty of the little lady in front of her is like a bright moon in the sky, bright and flawless, but she doesn't leave smoke and dust or eat fireworks in the world.Another example is the snow lotus on the iceberg, which is unattainable and ignores the beauty of others.
If it is said that Lian Ruohan's arrogance is noble or condescending, while Mantuo's arrogance is cold and not too heartfelt.
Lian Ruohan lightly opened her lips: "The slave family's surname is Lian, and it is the owner of the good times. Today's matter is that the store owner made a mistake, and I didn't know there was someone in the room, so I came in and disturbed the lady, please forgive me."
Xiao Jia also came back to his senses at this time. After thinking about it, he also felt that he was at fault first, so he bowed: "Just now, I was reckless. I shouldn't shoot arrows at the lady, but also look at the lady Haihan."
Mantuo did not return the salute, he sat down, poured a cup of tea, and drank it: "The two of you, the rudeness was the first, and the recklessness was the second. If it wasn't for me that I still have some skills, I just shot an arrow, and I can't say that I would have died on the spot. ."
Xiao Jia blushed and felt ashamed: "My lady invited me, what happened just now is indeed my fault. If you want to punish me, it doesn't matter. I was also forced by my lady's aura, and I didn't hurt anyone. "
Mantuo naturally knew that Xiao Jia shot arrows at her because she was forced to kill, and the reason why she let her kill accidentally was also aroused by Xiao Jia's breath.Xiao Jia is not good at learning martial arts, and when he is nervous, he will let out a lot of breath, and it is easy for his opponents to find out the depth.
"Please leave the two ladies here, don't disturb my tea." Mantuo waved his hand lightly, and lay down on the soft couch, "Let's go, go."
Without waiting for Xiao Jia to make a move, Lian Ruohan took a few steps forward, sat in front of Mantuo, raised her right hand lightly, like running clouds and flowing water, and brewed a new pot of tea. She first poured a cup for Mantuo, and then poured it for herself. Half a cup, toasted over the top: "There was a lot of offense just now, I apologize to the lady again!"
After speaking, he finished his cup of tea in one sip.
Mantuo didn't even look at Lian Ruohan, she was still half lying on the soft couch, she said lazily, "I'm coming to your tea shop to drink tea, just to be quiet, and I don't want to be disturbed, no matter how small. The second is the owner. I have already forgotten what happened just now, and I asked the lady to return me to be quiet."
Lian Ruohan poured a second tea for himself, raised his glass, and drank it again, regardless of whether Mantuo paid any attention to it or not.
Standing behind Lian Ruohan, Xiao Jia felt turmoil in his heart.With Lian Ruohan's status and dignity, treating each other with such condescension and courtesy is all sincere and not deliberately pretending. It can be seen that Lian Ruohan treats people with his own courtesy. If you are wrong, you are wrong. Knowing your mistakes and admitting your mistakes is the way for everyone demeanor.
Mantuo squinted Lian Ruohan and bowed slightly: "Drinking too much tea is also intoxicating. Madam, please."
Lian Ruohan smiled softly: "The lady's accent, the soft Jiangnan accent in Mandarin, must have been raised in Jiangnan since childhood, and then lived in Shangjing. The lady's martial arts are outstanding, but she has a quiet and virtuous temperament. She came from a family of poetry and calligraphy. The lady looks like a fairy, but she is cold as frost, refusing to be thousands of miles away, and she is more vigilant. From this, it can be seen that the lady's family is down and out of life... I don't know if I am right?"
Mantuo sat up suddenly, with a look of surprise, his eyes were like electricity: "Do you recognize me?"
"The first time we met, I didn't know Niangzi's name. The slave family's surname is even Ruohan, she is Xiao Jia." Lian Ruohan told Mantuo truthfully.
"Mantuo." Mantuo reported his family name, but still didn't believe that Lian Ruohan and her met for the first time, "Do you know my father Lin Xiancong?"
"I don't know." Lian Ruohan had indeed never heard of Lin Xianzong, "Could Lady Mantu have a place to stay in the capital?"
Man Tuo thought about it for a while, and she was relieved. When her father Lin Xiansong came to Beijing, she was only ten years old, and when she left Beijing, she was 13 years old.Dad stayed in Beijing for three years, and then he left the capital and never came back.Even the young lady is about the same age as her, so it is normal for her not to know who her father is.What's more, father's official position is minor, and there are already a large number of officials in the capital, and because high-ranking officials and dignitaries are all gathered in the capital, it is not surprising that no one knows about the officials below the third rank.
"What do you want?" Mantuo glanced at Lian Ruohan, although she was very interested in Haojingchangzai along the way, she didn't want to get to know the person at the helm of Haojingchangzai, she directly rejected Lian Ruohan, "Thank you Even the lady is kind, I have a place to live in the capital, so I don't bother."
"A place of shelter is not the same as a safe place." Lian Ruohan is such a smart woman, she can know what everyone needs most in a conversation, she smiled lightly, "If Miss Mantuo doesn't dislike it, good times will always come. I can provide you with a quiet place to live, not only is it quiet, but no one dares to disturb the quietness of the lady. The fault of today's matter is mine, be careful, and I have the right to make amends."
"This way..." Mantuo lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Okay, since it is difficult to even accept the kindness of the lady, I would be more respectful than obeying orders, but it is disrespectful."
Xiao Jia admires Lian Ruohan's knowledge of people. He originally thought that Lian Ruohan would not be able to get a bargain in front of Mantuo. Mantuo lived in the residence arranged by Lian Ruohan, which was equivalent to Mantuo agreeing with Lian Ruohan as a person, otherwise he would not have handed over his safety to Lian Ruohan.
Lian Ruohan, as the master of good times, really has the skills.Not only has the guts and wit, but also the strategy and long-term intentions.Xiao Jia thought so, and became more determined to work with Lian Ruohan.
