"Of course we can meet you!" Xiao Lin reached out to touch her head and said with a smile: "I brought you here today in a twists and turns. Do you really want to take a break? The main reason is to help you relieve the pain of missing your dead mother. !”
"It turns out that His Highness has noticed..." Su Li's eyes were slightly warm and she buried her head in his chest.
"How could you not see it?" Xiao Lin hugged her, "You are always calling me mother in your dreams! In fact, I have wanted to bring you here for a long time, but I have never been able to do it. I asked you to come today, but you have resisted!"
"Who told you not to tell me clearly?" Su Li snorted, "I thought you were neglecting your business and wasting your time playing with things!"
"I don't want to give you a surprise!" Xiao Lin shrugged.
"Then what are you talking about? Go and see him quickly!" Su Li tugged on his sleeve.
"Why are you panicking?" Xiao Lin laughed. "The lady heard that a distinguished guest was coming, so she went out early in the morning. She said she had left something important at home and was about to go back to get it! Just wait in peace. That’s it! Counting on it, we should be there soon!”
"Yeah!" Su Li nodded vigorously, "I'm not in a hurry! Let's wait slowly! By the way, Your Highness, so you met my mother more than ten years ago?"
"Yes!" Xiao Lin nodded, "I remember what I told you! You are very similar to her, and your facial features are almost carved from the same mold! It's just that she is much taller than you... "
After saying that, he said hurriedly: "Of course, she was already an adult woman at that time, and we, Ali, are still young, and we will still have a long life in the future!"
Su Li laughed: "I'm already sixteen, where will I go? I'm afraid this is the way it will be for the rest of my life!"
"Then that's the case, that's great!" Xiao Lin smiled back, "Actually, I don't like tall women, like Xu Dafat, who was born tall and strong, and couldn't even kick him for a long time. It's really an eyesore. Like our Ah Li, he is so petite and exquisite that he can be picked up with one hand! He is quite handy!"
As he spoke, the arm unconsciously stretched out, took her in his arms, and said, "We were standing together that day. What do you think Big Fatty Xu said?"
"I'm afraid she doesn't have anything nice to say in her mouth!" Su Li chuckled.
"No, what I said that time was quite pleasant!" Xiao Lin replied with a smile, "She said, seeing you next to me, so petite, cute, and lovable, you suddenly understood why you were kicked by me every day. Oh! A little guy looks protective, unlike a big guy like her who wants to beat her up at the first sight!"
Su Li laughed: "She is so cruel that she even scolds herself! But Your Highness, I think you have poor taste. Sister Xu is obviously beautiful and sassy, why didn't you take a fancy to her in the first place?"
"Come on!" Xiao Lin waved her hand, "In my eyes, she has never been a woman, she is just a man! She was the one who accompanied me to this alley to find someone that year, and my mother-in-law regarded her as a man at that time! At that time, your eldest brother and others were also having fun in this tavern. The brothers fought with Xu Qiang alone, but they were all beaten to the ground..."
He pointed to the small courtyard, "In this courtyard, my mother-in-law watched them fight with a smile, and my brother's brothers and sisters. The whole family was lively and happy. I was sitting here at the time, thinking about it again and again. Thinking about it, I don’t know how to tell her mother about her brother’s death. It’s almost the Chinese New Year. When the family was reunited, she was still nagging that her little tiger should come back. I felt uncomfortable hearing that. She came so early in the morning. , I sat until it was almost dusk and before I spoke, my mother-in-law noticed something strange about me and came over to ask me. I cried then and told her the truth. In the end, it was my mother-in-law who helped us report the news of my death and comforted my brother. Family, she is really a gentle and warm person..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and rubbed Su Li's forehead, and said softly: "A Li, she is just like you. You are both gentle and warm people, just like the warmth of spring. Whenever I see you, I feel extra peaceful and happy... …”
"The same goes for Your Highness!" Su Li nestled in his warm embrace, "When I saw Your Highness, I felt particularly at ease and happy! But I didn't expect that Your Highness had such a relationship with my mother when I was young..."
"What you didn't expect was that you were already in your mother-in-law's womb at that time!" Xiao Lin raised the corners of his lips as he thought of the situation at that time, "Speaking of which, A Li, we actually met more than ten years ago! It was only then that , I am already able to fight on the battlefield, but you are still just an unformed fetus! Oh my god, after all, I am so many years older than you!"
He suddenly felt distressed, "A-Li, do you think I'm old?"
"Well, he is a bit old..." Su Li deliberately teased him, "I should actually find a younger boy!"
"Hey!" Xiao Lin tightened his arms and hugged her slender waist even tighter. Su Li was about to be breathless and begged for mercy with a smile: "Your Highness, I was wrong, you are not old! You are so tender! You are better than that The newly sprouted grass is still young!”
"When you say that, why do I feel like you are mocking me for eating tender grass?" Xiao Lin snorted, "I just want to eat tender grass! Eat it now!"
He opened his mouth and bit Su Li's shoulder, and blew into her neck. Su Li was so itchy that she twisted around. The two of them laughed together and were having fun when they suddenly heard footsteps outside the window, as if someone had walked into the plum garden. , look left and right in front of the arched door at the door.
But it was two young men.
Su Li looked around and vaguely felt that the figures of the two people were familiar, but he couldn't remember who they were for a while.
Xiao Lin quickly recognized it: "Aren't these the two brothers Qi Zheng and Qi Yi?"
Su Li suddenly realized: "Yes! It's them! Huh? Why are they here?"
"I find it strange too!" Xiao Lin frowned, "This tavern is not famous in Beijing. They are all old diners. Occasionally they bring some new diners here. They are Dongwu people and are not familiar with Kyoto's customs and do not know them here. Who is this person? Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be here!”
Someone who shouldn't have appeared suddenly appeared, and both of them were a little confused. However, these two people had desperately helped them kill Dong Wan before. Thinking about it, even if they appeared in places they shouldn't have, there shouldn't be any conspiracy.
Xiao Lin and Su Li both remained silent in tacit agreement and just stared at the two people outside the window quietly.
The two of them didn't notice them. From the looks of it, all their attention was focused on the garden gate, as if there was something particularly attractive there.
"Xiangxuehai..." Qi Yi recited Meiyuan's name word by word, his voice was slightly excited, as if he didn't dare to confirm, and asked Qi Zheng, "Brother, look, is it the word "Xiangxuehai"? "
"It's Xiangxuehai!" Qi Zheng also looked excited, "This tavern is called Ningxiangju, and the plum garden here is also called Xiangxuehai! It seems that this is the place we are looking for!"
