Chapter 37

Xu Liuling pondered in his heart for a moment, then answered.

"Linglongfang is indeed Xiyan's property, but now that she is gone, I don't want her to fall down in Linglongfang. After all, this is the only thing she left behind."

Xu Liuling smiled wryly, and Mo Xuan's gaze was fixed on his, never missing a trace of emotion. After a while, he lowered his eyes.

"It's really lucky to have such a close friend as Mr. Xi Yan."

Xu Liuling frowned inaudibly when he heard the word 'best friend', and then he smiled modestly.

"I grew up with Xiyan since I was a child, and I have never heard her mention that I had an intersection with the Master of the National Teacher. I would like to ask, when did the Lord and Xiyan meet?"

Mo Xuan's eyes flashed coldly, and his tone was calm.

"This gentleman doesn't need to know."

Xu Liuling wanted to ask something more, but saw Mo Xuan standing up, and the cold plum fragrance came from the floating sleeves of his clothes, and Mo Xuan opened his mouth.

"I'm bothering you sir, my national teacher suddenly remembered that there are still important things to do, so I left first."

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was an extremely perfunctory excuse, but Xu Liuling had no choice but to believe it, and he nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency, please."

Mo Xuan went straight out of the inner hall, looked around, and suddenly stopped on Xiuyin, his eyes darkened, and then he turned and left.

Xiuyin was greeting the guests, she caught a glimpse of Mo Xuan's leaving back out of the corner of her eye, and she was also a little puzzled.

This person seems to have been seen somewhere.

Xu Liuling also went out of the inner hall immediately, and when she saw him, a smile crept onto his face immediately, and she ran over in a hurry.

"gentlemen."

Xu Liuling interrupted her.

"Go, go to Xu Lao's place."

Sleeves are puzzled.

"Didn't we just come back from Mr. Xu?"

Xu Liuling glanced at her and whispered.

"I seem to know who the other force that is chasing down the Chang'an Association is."

Sodoki opened his eyes wide and blinked like a curious baby.

"who is it?"

Seeing her appearance, Xu Liuling thought it was funny and patted her on the head.

"I'll tell you when we get there."

Sonoki pouted, and reluctantly followed behind him, fingers still grabbing his sleeve unconsciously.

The winter wind was a bit harsh, Xu Liuling stuffed her sleeves behind her back, acting subconsciously for protection, the sleeves breathed white air behind her, a blush rose on her pretty face, which added a little anger to her sickly face.

Sir, you don't even realize it, you care about me too.

Xu Liuling and Xiuyin came to a mansion. There was a wooden plaque hanging above the mansion. The handwriting was majestic and flexible. Anyone who knew calligraphy could tell at a glance that the person who wrote it must have practiced it for many years. up.

Entering the mansion, it was like walking into another world, every time Xu Liuling came here, he would sincerely praise him a few times.

I saw the green and red vines all over the garden. It was clearly the winter weather, but it produced the feeling of spring.

Walking into the depths of the garden, I saw a gazebo, where an old man in his middle age dressed in white was splashing ink.Xu Liuling chuckled, and he called softly.

"Say the old man."

Hearing the sound, Mr. Xu paused the tip of his pen, looked at the person who was coming, and smiled energetically on his wrinkled face.

"You came."

Xu Lao glanced behind Xu Liuling, and immediately smiled.

"Xuyin is also here."

Xiuyin poked his head out from behind Xu Liuling.

"grandfather."

Hearing this, Xu Lao smiled more kindly.

Speaking of Xiuyin's address to Mr. Xu, it is also a source of irony.

That day Xu Liuling led his sleeves to Xu Mansion for the first time, Xu Liuling was still practicing calligraphy in the pavilion, Xu Liuling made a sound.

"There has always been only spring in Xu Lao's garden, and he just used some method. Can you teach Liu Ling?"

When Xu Lao saw Xu Liuling, he smiled heartily twice, and the words he said were meaningful.

"These four seasons are natural laws, so why bother?"

Xu Liuling raised an eyebrow.

"Xu Lao's words are wrong. Everyone has a love for beauty. Who doesn't yearn for being able to retain beauty?"

Xu Lao waved his hand and said sadly.

"All four seasons have their beauty, you can't just look at one side."

Xu Liuling held his hands behind his back, without giving in at all.

"Then why only spring is left in Xulao's garden?"

Xu Lao was silenced by him, it turned out that what this kid had done before was just foreshadowing, what was really waiting for him was this sentence, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and his tone was rascal.

"Where did the virtue of respecting the old and caring for the young go?"

Xu Liuling laughed, and every time he quarreled with him, he always blocked his mouth with this, which happened to poke Xu Liuling's dead point again.

When Mr. Xu saw Xu Liuling admit defeat, the old urchin laughed and suddenly heard a clear female voice.

"Old man, you rely on the old to sell the old!"

Xu Lao was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that there was a girl doll hidden behind Xu Liuling, with a small sleeve and a small body, standing behind Xu Liuling, as long as she didn't make a sound, it was really not easy to detect.

She couldn't see that Xu Liuling was at a disadvantage, even if it was a familiar joke, she had to say that Xiu Yin was very cautious in a certain way.

But Xu Lao was not happy anymore, it was the first time someone didn't buy him, his face flushed red for a moment, he swished up to Xu Liuling, glared at him, and pulled out the sleeves.

Embarrassed by Xu Lao's stare, Xu Liuling touched his nose and shrugged.

Mr. Xu was about to teach this ignorant girl a lesson, but he froze when he saw Xiu Yin's face, his eyes were wide open and his lips were trembling.

"Nine nine."

Xiuyin's heart was hanging, when he heard Xu Lao's extremely sad soft call, he was also momentarily stunned.

Xu Lao held Xiuyin's hand, his old eyes were red, and he called out loudly.

"Nine nine, nine nine."

It was only then that Xu Liuling realized that something was wrong, and he quickly pulled his sleeves back to straighten his expression.

"Xu Lao, you have met the wrong person, she is not Jiujiu, she is calling for guidance."

Xu Laohu suddenly regained his composure, looked carefully at Xiuyin, there was a red mole at the corner of Jiujiu's eyes, this female doll did not, although she was [-]% similar, she was not his Jiujiu, but her emotions were aroused, for a moment, Xu Jiu old into memories.

Jiujiu is his daughter, who suddenly suffered from a strange disease that year. He searched for famous doctors all over the place, but watched Jiujiu's life disappear little by little. In the three years after Jiujiu's death, Mr. He was so dazed that he wandered around with the wine bottle all day long. One day, he was beaten to death by the restaurant because he couldn't pay for the wine, and was finally rescued by Luo Xiyan's father, Luo Yiqian.

Luo Yiqian has a good temper. Not only did he not care that he continued to drink after he recovered from his injury, but he also ordered his servants to prepare a room for him, where he could eat, drink, and live in. Half a year passed like this, and Mr. Xu finally felt bad and cleaned up. When he was in the mood, he accepted Luo Yiqian to do things.

Luo Yiqian is the president of the Chang'an Association, so all kinds of information needed are extremely important, so Mr. Xu organized an intelligence organization for him, called 'Shadow'.So he became Luo Yiqian's right-hand man.

Since Chang'an was sealed off, Mr. Xu was lucky enough to escape because of 'Ying', but the information in his hand told him that it is definitely not that simple that Chang'an was sealed off and the Luo family was wiped out. He has been targeting the palace and conducting secret investigations , until Xu Liuling found him and told him that this matter was related to Xu Rongjing.

Only then did Xu Lao realize that he had checked the wrong direction, and when Xu Liuling said that he immediately shifted his target, things gradually became clear.

Mr. Xu has been lingering in all kinds of information for so many years, and almost forgot about Jiujiu. Until today, when he saw Xiuyin, he drew out all the past for a while, and the sadness came overwhelming him, making him unconscious In the Qing Dynasty, Xiuyin was regarded as Jiujiu.

Xu Lao looked at Xiuyin apologetically.

"Girl doll, did you scare you?"

Sodoki was indeed intimidated at first, but she had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the kind-hearted old man in front of her, and she smiled.

"Grandpa, you are so brave, how could you be scared so easily."

Xu Lao's eyes lit up when he heard the "Grandpa", he thought, if Jiujiu is alive, if she marries and has children, her children will be about the same age.Xu Lao was deeply moved.

"Girl doll, you call me 'Grandpa'?"

Xiu Yin thought she was being rude, so she raised her eyes to Xu Liuling, and was relieved when she saw Xu Liuling nodded to her.

"Isn't it okay to call 'Grandpa'?"

Xu Lao laughed twice, picked up a granddaughter for no reason, took out the jade pendant from his bosom, and stuffed it into Xiuyin's hand.

"Good granddaughter, this is a gift from grandpa."

Xiuyin picked up the jade pendant and looked at it for a while, seeing that the jade pendant was green all over, and through the light, one could vaguely see a dragon swimming inside, which was very interesting.

Seeing the jade pendant raised Xu Liuling's eyebrows, he naturally knew the value of the jade pendant. This jade pendant represented the successor of 'Shadow'. Mr. Xu was really generous, and he gave up his wealth without any distress.

Xiuyin didn't know the meaning of this jade pendant at all, but she really liked this rare thing, so she bowed obediently.

"Thank you grandpa."

Xu Lao laughed again, after that, Xiuyin often came to Xu Mansion to visit him, Xu Lao was getting older, he didn't expect that he was approaching old age.He can still experience the feeling of family affection once, he thought, in this life, there will be no regrets.

Xu Liuling pulled the sleeve lead and walked into the gazebo, Xu Lao hurriedly pulled the sleeve lead, took out a piece of pastry from the package beside him, and said mysteriously.

"This pastry is made by my sister-in-law on the street. Grandpa bought it after waiting in line for a long time."

Xiuyin's eyes lit up when she saw the pastry, and she held Xu Lao's arm and shook it with emotion.

"Grandpa is so kind to Sodehiki."

Xu Liuling was chatting with Xiuyin about the homework, Xu Liuling blinked aside, it was not wrong to interrupt, and it was not wrong to just stand like this, in the end, he still chose the former and called softly.

"Xu Lao, Liu Ling has something important to tell you."

Xu Lao gave him a dissatisfied look, and his tone was slightly offended.

"That's what you say, I'm listening."

After speaking, Xu Liuling was quite helpless when he saw his two faces and talked with Xiuyin again.

"Another group that is chasing down the Chang'an Association should be the National Teacher's Office."

As soon as Xu Lao heard this, his face immediately became serious. He turned around and slowly chewed Xu Liuling's words.

"National Teacher's Mansion?"

Xu Liuling nodded, he thought for a moment.

"At present, the National Teacher's Office is not hostile to us."

Xu Lao is at ease.

"What will Cha Chang'an of the National Teacher's Office do?"

Xu Liuling paused.

"It's related to Xi Yan."

Xu Lao was taken aback, Xi Yan?He suddenly thought of a piece of information, a hint of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and for a moment, he smiled.

"Since it doesn't matter to us, that's fine. Let's check us, and he checks his."

When Xu Liuling saw Mr. Xu gearing up and looking eager to try, he knew that Mr. Xu's competitive spirit had been hooked again. After this time, he would definitely speed up his pace and find out the truth before the National Teacher's Mansion.

After staying in Xu Mansion for a while, Xu Liuling and Xiuyin returned to Linglongfang. When they left, Xu Lao had a bitter face, which caused Xiuyin to smile Qingling.
