Chapter 8

The summer solstice has passed since the ear seedlings, and the summer solstice is at the end of the summer heat.This summer is extremely hot, and the red sun in the sky basks the earth with all its strength, as if it is about to shine beyond this year and not next year.

Xiaotang of the Shu family has a spirit of becoming more and more courageous as he gets frustrated.While recuperating from her injuries, she deeply reflected on the reasons for the frequent failure of blind dates, tried her best to sum up her shortcomings, and finally understood the reason why her connotation needs to be improved and her temperament needs to be increased.

In the past few days, everything has been dormant due to the scorching heat, only Xiaotang from the Shu family, who has recovered from her injuries, frequently haunts the streets and alleys.She happily bought the Suona chess book on silk paper, and went back to the backyard happily to study "Qinqi, calligraphy and painting".

As the weather got hotter, Shu Tang added a new good habit.When everyone was roasted to the point of crying, she carried a water basin and ran around the inner and outer courtyards of the Shu's Inn, sprinkling water three times a day in the morning and evening, euphemistically called cooling off the heat.

One day, Shu Tang was watering around with a water basin, when he saw a girl poking her head at the door of the inn.The girl is dressed in a man's strong clothes, with a sword on her waist, her facial features are very good-looking, especially her pair of phoenix eyes, and she looks chic and innocent in her gaze.Seeing Shu Tang, the girl greeted, "Xiaoer, I'll reserve a seat."

Xiaotang of the Shu family likes to beautify herself. After hearing this crisp greeting, she immediately ran over with a water basin, and while leading the girl to the inn, greeted her warmly: "Then, do you want to be sharp, sir?"

The girl in Jinyi didn't answer this question, she found a corner table, took off her sword, took out a piece of silver and handed it to Shu Tang, and whispered: "This is the deposit, and in the next month, this house will belong to me. "As she spoke, she squinted her eyes and looked around again, and asked, "Have any suspicious diners come to your inn recently?"

Shu Tang stuffed the money in his palm and swallowed his saliva.Hearing what the girl said, he immediately replied: "No, no, the people who come to our place are all honest people."

The girl looked suspiciously at Xiaotang from the Shu family, looked him up and down, and didn't say a word for a while.Shu Tang was uncomfortable being looked at by her, so he quickly put down the water basin and ran to the shopkeeper to pour tea for the girl.

It was afternoon, and there were no guests in the inn.Shu Tang poured tea for the girl, and stayed here to accompany her.The two girls are about the same age, one has a simple and honest personality, and the other has a straightforward personality and can't hold back words, but within a short while, they struck up a conversation.

It turns out that girl Jinyi's surname is Qiu, and her family is fairly well off.Because she was about the same age as Shu Tang, it was time for her to leave the cabinet.Miss Qiu's father arranged a marriage for her in the early years, saying that she would be betrothed to a son of a certain family, so she didn't need to run around for a blind date.

This was a predestined marriage, but unexpectedly in the early spring of this year, the son of the aristocratic family escaped from the marriage.The two families were in a hurry, but they searched the entire Jinghua City, but they couldn't find this young man.Miss Qiu herself knows some martial arts, and she has a quick temper.She immediately decided to go out on her own to catch the fiancé.However, there is a huge crowd and there is no way to start.Fortunately, she got the news a while ago that her fiancé is now hiding in Tanghua Alley in the east of Jinghua City.

The two girls talked happily, and it took more than half an hour after a while.Shu Sanyi didn't find his daughter in the back yard, and heard something in the front yard, so he asked Tang Gui to go to the inn to have a look.

Tang Gui agreed, went to the inn and opened the curtain, and saw the spitting figure in Jinyi in Xiyu, who was stunned and stiff, then he silently put down the curtain, retreated to the backyard, and told Shu Sanyi that he He suffered from heat stroke and was unable to go to work within seven days, so he went back to his room and locked the door, and lay down on the bed to recover his body.

After a while, a wolf with a big tail and his followers circled out in front of the gate of the inn.Yun Chenya was shaking the fan with one hand and the food box with the other. She had just entered the inn two steps before she was stunned and silent.After a while, he quietly exited again, walked to the corner of the street, and asked Sikong Xing with an annoyed expression, "Why is Qiu Duxi here?"

Sikong Xing replied: "Miss Qiu should be looking for Mr. Fang."

Yun Chenya shook her fan and thought about it.This Choo Ta-hee is the only daughter of General Nam Joon Kuk Choo.Because Qiu's family and Fang's family have been friends for generations, Qiu Duoxi and Fang Yifei got married at an early age.Not long ago, after Fang Yifei escaped from marriage, he disappeared.Later, it was Yun Chenya who sent someone to find out that there was something wrong with Tang Gui at the Shu's Inn.

Thinking of this, the matter was easily solved.Although Yun Chenya only disclosed this matter to King Namjoon's youngest son.But because Qiu Daxi is a boy with a refreshing personality, he rode, shot and hunted with Xiao Shizi since he was a child, so the relationship between the two has always been good.Guessing that Qiu Duoxi decided to find a husband by herself, Xiao Shizi was afraid that she would lose her direction, so he pointed out Tanghua Alley.Anyway, with Qiu Duoxi's frizzy temper and unwavering mind, even if he was face to face with Tang Gui, he still couldn't tell who was behind the human skin mask.

Although Sikong Xing's demeanor is dull on weekdays, he has been following Yun Chenya for a long time. Now when he sees Yunweilang lingering outside the inn, he said, "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master. I think Eldest Young Master and Miss Qiu are just friends." There were several encounters 11 years ago. Miss Qiu should not recognize the eldest son. Besides, now that the second emperor... the second son is not in Nanjun Kingdom, and Miss Qiu has her own marriage, presumably she will not be like this again When I was a child, I was usually entangled with the son."

When Yun Chenya heard the words, recalling the past, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.The second son Sikong Xing mentioned was his younger brother who was half a year younger, and he was as good-looking as him, but when he was nine years old, he fell in love with Qiu Duoxi.At that time, the second young master was fine by himself, but he made Yunweilang flirtatious.Regardless of the specific details of this matter, in Yun Chenya's words, it was a nightmare lingering in the smell of peach blossoms.

Knocking on the fan, the cloud-tailed wolf said: "You are right, Nanjun country is rich in idiots, even if she recognizes me, I have a hundred ways to make her not recognize me." Inn.

Shu Tang was talking with Qiu Duoxi when Shen Que caught a glimpse of a suave and suave young man in brocade clothes, and with a blink of an eye, he recognized that it was a cloud-tailed wolf.Yun Chenya greeted "Sister Xiaotang" as usual, and after walking over, she also greeted Qiu Duoxi.Although Qiu girl felt that the wolf's eyes were familiar when she touched the tail of the cloud, it was true that as Yun Chenya said, when he fooled around with two or three words, Qiu Duoxi immediately felt like a new acquaintance with him.

After a while, the sun moved to the west, and there were no guests in the Shujia Inn all afternoon, Qiu Duoxi was very depressed because he didn't see Fang Yifei, and planned to come back tomorrow.Before leaving, Qiu Duoxi and Yun Chenya said: "I learned that Mr. Yun has a lot of people and is married to Xiaotang. Although I can't reveal my fiancé's name, if Mr. Yun is on the street, especially Tang Huaxiangzi sees a gentleman with a refined bearing and a handsome appearance, so please help me to pay attention to it. Thank you, Bumin."

Yun Chenya waved her fan, thinking one thing in her heart, and saying it out of her mouth.

After Qiu Duoxi left, Shu Tang took the cloud-tailed wolf to the backyard.There is a grape arbor in the backyard, and every summer, it is full of green shade.Shu Tang trotted, sprinkling water inside and out to cool off the heat, Yun Chenya held her hands, leaned against the vine, looked at it with a smile, and took out a porcelain jar from the food box along the way.

When Shu Tang came back, he saw that there was a white jade jar on the stone table, he was surprised, he couldn't help reaching out to touch a few, and asked: "What is this?"

Yun Chenya smiled at her, as if a cool breeze was blowing in summer.He took out a porcelain spoon and handed it to her, and said, "What do you think I'm here today?" After speaking, seeing Shu Tang's eyes like white mercury filled with black mercury, clear and clear, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and closed again. Mou said: "Is the injury on your arm better?"

Shu Tang stared at him blankly.Hearing this, he didn't answer, but was absorbed by a scent of incense.Instead, she stared at the porcelain pot anxiously, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and asked directly, "Is this soup delicious?"

Seeing her appearance, Yun Chenya couldn't help but smile again, clasped her fingers and knocked on the stone table: "Go get a bowl."

Shu Tang was overjoyed when he heard the words, but when he came back, he brought two bowls.He put one in front of himself, pushed one to Yun Chenya, and said, "I think it tastes good if you share it." After saying this, he served soup for Yunweilang first.

The green shade under the vines is cool, and the sunshine outside is also very good, but Yun Chenya's eyes seem to be cloudy, and I don't know what emotions are pretending.

After finishing the soup, Yun Chenya and Sikong Xing wanted to leave, but they were stopped by Shu Tang again.She worked in the front and back yards for a while, and when she came out, she carried a basket in her hand, which contained watermelons, peaches, and a bunch of green grapes.

Xiaotang from the Shu family handed the basket to Yun Chenya, pointed to the grapes and said, "I picked these grapes yesterday, they are so sour, remember to eat them with sugar." Finally, she took out another grape from her bosom. Put the buns in the basket, and said to Yun Chenya, "This one brings me lettuce and cabbage, I see them like it."

The bright sun in the distant sky shines brightly on the corner eaves.Yun Chenya narrowed her eyes, took the basket, and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "I brought a can of soup with me when I came, but when I left, I exchanged it for a large basket of fruits and vegetables. It's worth it." After another pause, he suddenly asked , "Why do you want to send something?"

Shu Tang was stunned, blinked his eyes and answered honestly: "You didn't say it clearly, Mr. Yun, but I guess you came today because you were worried about my arm injury? You even brought me a jar of wild ginseng Soup." As she spoke, she scratched her head and laughed a few times, "I read a poem recently, and there is a saying called papaya and peach, which probably means that you never forget to repay your kindness. Mr. Yunguan, you care about me, so I will naturally To care about you."

Yun Chenya was taken aback again.Suddenly, he bent his eyes and smiled again: "That sentence is 'throw me a peach, and repay it with Qiongyao'." As he spoke, before Shu Tang could reply, he urged, "It's getting late, you Don't send me, go back."

After finishing speaking, he waved to Shu Tang again, turned around and left.

Seeing him leaving, Xiaotang from the Shu family stood upright at the door of the inn and watched him, until his figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley, and then happily returned to the inn, looking for water basins to sprinkle water to cool off.

Yun Chenya turned around the alley, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.After a while, he asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"

Sikong Xing took two steps forward, still bowing his head: "Young master, that Tang Gui was locked in the house today and did not come out. His subordinates searched the Shu's Inn inside and out, and found nothing related to Fang Yifei. Objects. I’m afraid who this soup belongs to is still to be investigated.” After a pause, he continued, “Just now the eldest son lured Miss Shu away, and the subordinates also figured out the structure of the Shu’s inn, but there are several places. Eyeliner can be placed. If the eldest son feels it is necessary, his subordinates can send a few killers to ambush here, and if there is a dispute between us and the Fang family at that time, it's fine... just do nothing."

Yun Chenya frowned, fell silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "Choose a few with quick hands and feet."

After Sikong Xing responded, Yun Chenya stopped talking.After walking for another half an hour, Sikong Xing suddenly heard Yun Chenya laugh, "Throw me a wooden peach, and give me Qiongyao?" Throwing a peach to Sikong Xing, with a teasing smile on his face: "You are able to do things well, I will reward you." After saying that, the tail wolf flicked his clothes and entered the mansion.

Sikong Xing was stunned for a moment.Just now, he seemed to see a trace of loneliness in Yun Chenya's teasing.But as soon as this thought came out, Sikong Xing shook his head instantly.Cloud tail wolf will be lonely?That's really even more surprising than when the sun comes out from the west and the weasel and chicken become friends.

Let's say that the cloud-tailed wolf returned to the mansion, lettuce and cabbage smelled the smell of steamed bread, and happily wagged their tails around him.The cloud-tailed wolf ignored it and went into the study.But after a while, when the door of the study room was opened, Yun Chenya walked out, went around to the front hall to find that piece of bread again, followed Shu Tang's example, broke off piece by piece and fed it to the lettuce and cabbage.

Lettuce and cabbage were eaten happily, but Yun Chenya's face was calm, and her thoughts flew to nowhere.After a while, he got up abruptly and walked to the backyard, broke a branch and dug it here and there.

Seeing that the garden of flowers and grass was being tossed about by the cloud-tailed wolf, some of the servants cautiously asked, "What is the eldest son looking for?"

The cloud-tailed wolf was still hunched over, without looking back, digging left and right, and replied: "A few days ago, I took out a peach pit from the mouth of the lettuce and threw it into the backyard, where did you get it for me? "
