"Let me go! Let me go!!"
Yao Xiaoxiao looked frightened, her delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly threw her hands away.
"Lin Jianfeng" suddenly gasped heavily, and then leaned against that slender body.
He was very strong, and he was close at once.
Yao Xiaoxiao struggled desperately, her aqua dress became wrinkled, the wooden hairpin on her high bun was crooked, and her hair was scattered.
"let me go!"
"Lin Jianfeng" just didn't let go. He grabbed the chivalrous woman's waist and pressed it up and down while saying affectionately: "Sister-in-law, I am my brother. I am my brother. Why don't you believe me? My brother and Is it okay for you to do that? It’s okay...I’ve seen you do it.”
Yao Xiaoxiao turned pale and said sternly: "Lin Jie Niu, if you don't let go, I will die in front of you!"
Lin Jie Niu is Lin Jianfeng's twin brother, and they look very similar.
At this time, Lin Jie Niu suddenly stopped after hearing this.
Yao Xiaoxiao fell to the ground, stood up in a hurry, and left as if running away.
Lin Jie Niu raised his hand to smell the aroma in his hand, but suddenly clenched his fist and said, "Sister-in-law, sooner or later I will make you believe that I am my brother."
After Yao Xiaoxiao escaped, her temples were obviously messy, but strangely, the surrounding servants, maids, and even the guards at Yanziwu didn't seem to notice.
What's even more strange is that Yao Xiaoxiao was humiliated by her brother-in-law, but instead of seeking justice from her elders, she arranged her clothes in fear, and then started to look for her real husband.
...
...
In the clear light, hundreds of flowers bloom on both sides of Yanziwu, among which the peach blossoms are the most beautiful.
The road gradually narrowed, and at the end was a manor-like entrance. In front of it was a jade screen wall that blocked the view.
The carriage stopped outside, Zuo Hong jumped down and threw the reins to the Qinghe Cao Gang disciples who came to greet them.
The disciple said respectfully: "Master Zuowu."
Zuo Hong's attention was completely focused on the car. She slightly opened the corner of the car curtain and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, we are here."
Li Xuan walked out with his second brother, followed closely by Wei Yao.
When he stood on the ground, he stretched out his hand and took a deep breath. He felt that the air was extremely fresh, and there was a smell of clear water mixed with flowers, so he praised: "The fragrance of April in the world has ended, and the peach blossoms in Shuiwu have begun to bloom. The eternal regret of spring is gone. Looking for a place, I don’t know where to turn.”
Zuo Hong: ⊙▽⊙! ...
Wei Yao: ⊙▽⊙! ...
Second brother: ⊙▽⊙! ...
After Li Xuan recited this poem, he raised his face slightly, held the simple hilt of the "Sparrow Feather Sword" with his left hand, and stepped towards the front door.
In the golden sky, the young man looked graceful and talented, with the attitude of a humble gentleman. Even every strand of his hair was shining.
As soon as he moved, Wei Yao followed suit, following him like a shadow.
And Zuo Hong finally realized that she was different from ordinary rough and tumble people. She knew a little bit about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the past, most of her companions were officials and elegant people. Therefore, she immediately heard the subtlety of this poem and felt it. The artistic conception is far-reaching and full of interest. Looking at Li Xuan's style again, I sighed more and more, and thought to myself: Such a handsome man can charm many little girls. Even if I were a few years younger, I might not be able to fall in love at first sight.
Suddenly, she remembered something and hurried forward, saying softly: "Master, there is something unreasonable in Yanziwu."
Li Xuan slowed down and asked curiously: "Sister Zuo, what's the matter?"
Zuo Hong said: "If you see Mr. Lin Jianfeng acting strangely, don't pay attention to him and don't bother him."
Li Xuanqi asked: "Why is this?"
Zuo Hong said: "He has a brother named Lin Jie Niu. He often likes to pretend to be him and wander around. The two brothers have similar looks, so it is difficult for others to tell them apart."
Li Xuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
A group of four people walked into the manor, and not long after, they saw the Qinghe River with brilliant golden scales in the distance. The water village of Yanziwu stood on a high place, and the gang patrols could be vaguely seen on it, while other places along the river were Pavilions, pavilions, luxurious manors.
The terrain here is very open, and some houses are hundreds of meters away from each other. There are blooming flowers planted in the middle, and the quiet forest makes it look like a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
At a small pier downstream, boats were parked and docked.
Six or seven strong Caobang members were moving up and down, carrying some jars.
Zuo Hongbian saw Li Xuan looking at it and introduced: "That's the Baihua Brewing that was only released during the New Year this year.
Baihua Niang is a high-quality wine special to Baihua Mansion. It is brewed with flowers of all seasons. Therefore, it takes at least a year to brew a jar of wine.
In Yufu City, there is a price but no market. Even if you happen to see it occasionally, most of it is limited. "
A few people chatted and laughed, and soon they were led by Caobang disciples to a pavilion to rest temporarily.
After a while, more guests arrived one after another.
Most of the guests are gentlemen and young ladies.
Thanks to Li Xuan's frequent visits these days, and his reputation, many young ladies recognized him, and one by one they came up to salute him, and then some sat down beside him and started chatting.
However, not everyone likes him, and some small circles are obviously hostile to him, standing proudly and paying no attention to him.
Li Xuan didn't take it seriously.
It's normal for a young man to be arrogant.
Being jealous is normal.
Others are too inferior and don't want to get close to him, which is normal.
Seeing everyone chatting, Zuo Hong took out the peach blossom poem that Li Xuan had just recited, which attracted a burst of applause from all the young ladies, and some even slapped the table and praised, "As expected of Li Xuan, the head of the case."
The second brother was shrouded in the sun-like dazzling light of his elder brother, shivering, and kept eating preserves next to him.
Wei Yao, on the other hand, stood further away, standing directly outside the pavilion, as if she didn't even want to look at Li Xuan, just staring at the waves of the Qinghe River in a daze.
At this time, a girl's voice came from the distance.
"Brother Xuan~~"
Wei Yao's breathing suddenly stopped, but it soon returned to normal. She did not look back, but continued to stare at the water, looking at the green mountains and white clouds reflected in the water.
Li Xuan looked in the direction and saw brother and sister Cao Wen and Cao Yi.
He smiled and called "Yimei", then stood up to greet her, and then quickly started chatting with Cao Wen as brothers.
Cao Yi sat directly opposite him, eating melon seeds and looking at Li Xuan quietly, her eyes gleaming like spring water.
The second brother was covered by the peripheral vision of this sight, and felt panicked. He hurriedly lowered his body and began to lie down to make candied fruits. He didn't know what he ate, but he just wanted to eat.
Li Xuan glanced at his second brother who usually "ordered everything" in the house, and said casually: "Why do you eat so much?"
The second brother said: "It's delicious, it's delicious."
The ladies next to him immediately turned their attention to the second brother, and all of them smiled and praised: "Captain Li, your brother is really cute."
The second brother's face turned red, and he forced out a smile. His buttocks were on pins and needles, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.
Li Xuan usually hasn't noticed the "social fear" attribute of his second brother, but now he seems to be awakening.
He decided to relieve his second brother, so he glanced sideways at Wei Yao, who was looking at the water, and said: "Brother Li, don't just worry about eating for yourself. Get some for Miss Yaohua."
The second brother was relieved and hurriedly stood up, holding the plate of preserves and ran away.
Today, he will be with Wei Yaolai and will no longer be next to his eldest brother.
...
Li Xuan was chatting with everyone while learning about the affairs of Fucheng, and soon he got an interesting news, saying that a huge leopard carcass was transported to Baihua Mansion in winter.
The leopard corpse was covered with black cloth and could not be seen from the outside, but it still gave off some corpse odor.
The young masters here are very well-informed. I think they learned a little bit about it through an elder, and now they are using it as a talking point to brag about. Obviously... this matter needs to be kept secret, but most of the upper-class dignitaries know about it.
Li Xuan asked curiously: "The leopard carcass was transported out of our county, but we don't know what to do with it?"
The young master who spoke smiled and said, "Mr. Su wants it."
Li Xuanqi said: "Who is this Mr. Su?"
Before the young man spoke, another young lady said: "Young Master Li, you can ask the prefect. We all only know that Mr. Su has great supernatural powers and can even subjugate and eliminate demons. We don't know the rest."
While everyone was chatting, a pair of beautiful people suddenly appeared in the distance.
The man's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes are graceful; the woman's hair is cloudy and her head is high, looking forward to her appearance.
This is Lin Jianfeng and Yao Xiaoxiao.
Yao Xiaoxiao was followed by a maid.
The moment the three people appeared, Wei Yao suddenly frowned and quickly pulled Li Xuan's second brother back to Li Xuan.
"Everyone, please wait." Lin Jianfeng saluted hurriedly.
He looked at Cao Wen and Cao Yi, clasped his fists again, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, Miss Cao."
But when he looked at Li Xuan, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists and said, "Hello."
Cao Yi didn't care. She was the daughter of the prefect, and she walked sideways in Baihua Mansion. She shouted directly: "Xiao Linzi, this is my brother Li, why don't you call someone?"
Lin Jianfeng was stunned again.
Li Xuan waved his hand, smiled and said in return: "It's okay, Li Xuan has met Mr. Lin."
Lin Jianfeng's face suddenly sank, but it only returned to normal for a moment.
At this moment, Yao Xiaoxiao seemed to notice something, and her body trembled. She slowly turned her head, turned her eyes, and looked at her husband beside her. She suddenly stiffened, with a look of fear in her eyes.
Lin Jianfeng hooked her waist, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, please come to Peach Blossom Waterside Pavilion. Our Qinghe Cao Gang has already prepared delicious food, books and pictures."
He looked at Cao Wen with a smile again and said, "Brother Cao, I have brought the "Hundred Horses on the Clouds" this time. You will taste it later to see if it is authentic."
Cao Wen laughed and said, "Okay, okay."
Everyone left the pavilion together.
Then we arrived at the Peach Blossom Water Pavilion.
On the peach trees by the water, the red flowers are blown by the wind, and their petals are falling.
There are ink paintings hanging high in the corridor of the waterside pavilion, and young ladies gather in small groups to make comments.
But at some point, Yao Xiaoxiao suddenly disappeared, and her personal maid disappeared as well.
After a while of burning incense, the Caobang maids began to bring in the Baihua stuffed wine and some exquisite dinner plates. In the falling sky, tables and tables were lined up outside the waterside pavilion.
Everyone takes their seats.
Lin Jianfeng looked left and right, his expression extremely gloomy.
But at this moment, a maid serving food suddenly stepped on a fist-sized stone with her shoe, causing her body to stumble slightly and lose her balance.
She hurriedly stood up, but even so, some of the vegetable juice on the tray had spilled to the side.
The maid just stood still and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard a roar from the banquet front desk.
"This is my guest, how dare you slack off, how dare you be careless!! How dare you be so presumptuous as a mere maidservant?"
Lin Jianfeng's sudden roar silenced the entire audience.
But this was not over yet. The next moment, Lin Jianfeng suddenly untied his belt, shook it, and made a harsh metallic sound.
The belt was actually made of a metal chain, and at the end of the chain was a weird hook. It couldn't be seen clearly when it was folded, but now it is clear as it is shaken open.
The maid was stunned for a moment, as if she had remembered something. She had a look of fear on her face and her lips moved, as if she wanted to beg for mercy, but she did not speak. Instead, she turned around and ran away as if she had collapsed.
