"Leave...?" Yang Xiaosi poked his head out from behind the cabinet as he heard the movement outside gradually stopped.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Lu Li took a breath and said to Wei Ying, who was stunned just now: "Why didn't you say anything just now! If my senior sister hadn't come to the rescue, we would have been implicated by you!"
Wei Ying was speechless at first, and now she was even more speechless.
"Okay, Lu Li, don't blame others." Qiong Yi said, taking out the note from his arms, "Without further ado, let's press the fingerprints quickly. It would be bad if they come back later and are discovered. ”
Wei Ying nodded and quickly pressed her fingerprints.
The purpose of the trip was achieved, so Qiong Yi and the others didn't stay much longer. They pretended to be a little pretentious in the room, then went downstairs to find the madam to pay the bill and left.
The old madam said that Ying'er, that girl, didn't do a good job, and she didn't treat the guests well, so she only charged the same amount.
When she said this, her eyes passed over Lu Li and looked straight at Qiong Yi and Yang Xiaosi who were standing behind him, as if she wanted to see a flower on their darkened faces.
Qiong Yi lowered his head, but doubts arose in his heart: Could it be that I just imitated something different and was discovered?
The madam waved and sent them away from Yunliang Pavilion with a smile without saying anything.

On this day, Qiong also began to look for a good-tempered wife.
After being given guidance by Master Chu last time, she felt that this gentleman was very nice and should be easy to talk to, so she applied for a leave of absence from Master Chu after class, but was unexpectedly rejected.
Qiong Yi held her chin in annoyance and thought, then which wife can I find?
She was sitting in her dormitory, thinking, while taking out a date from her arms and throwing it into her mouth. The green date, which was half the size of a finger, was stained with a red spot that couldn't be blurred. She bit it open, and it was crispy. A hint of sweetness flowed down the tip of the tongue and filled the lips and teeth. Qiong Yi couldn't help but take out a date and threw it up, opening his mouth wide to catch it.
This date was given to her by Sheng Xuanyuan when she went to Nanshan Mountain to practice swordplay early this morning.
I don't know why, Qiong Yi is afraid of talking to Sheng Xuanyuan recently. She didn't want to talk to him before because she was easily angered, but it doesn't seem to be the reason anymore.
In the past, when the young master of the Sheng family was still a person she had never seen before and was living in rumors, Qiong Yi actually wanted to meet him. Of course, the moment she saw him for the first time, she felt that the words in the rumors It's not a lie.
Later, when she was choked by his words again and again, Qiong Yi thought in her heart: Oh, that's it.
But after Sheng Xuanyuan rescued her from the Hanged Ghost, Qiong Yi's inner disdain gradually disappeared. At least, he was not what he thought, he was not an arrogant maniac.
He takes good care of stray puppies, understands the poems she writes, and is easily teased into a state of embarrassment.
Too strange. Qiong Yi stared at the sweet dates in his hand and said to himself: Sheng Hao is so strange.
If he is cold and unapproachable because he is not good at getting along with others and has to show it, it would be easy to explain.
How could I have thought about him for so long? Qiong also began to reflect on himself: when he often stood with Su Ye, Su Ye was obviously the one who caught the eye.
Su Ye, who often wears bright clothes in contrasting colors, speaks loudly and energetically, and stands next to Sheng Xuanyuan, makes him look like a dull pine tree, taciturn and cold temperament.
No wonder he was born so well but lacked peach blossoms. Mr. Yue and Mr. Yan in the next classroom are both popular with female disciples. If it weren't for the fact that Su Ye was a bastard with a bad reputation, he would definitely be much more popular than Sheng Xuanyuan.
After all, who likes a tree?
Qiong Yi curled her lips, opened a newly borrowed miscellany of unofficial history on the desk, gathered her thoughts, and started reading.
After about a cup of tea, there was a "dong dong" knock on the door. Qiong Yi thought about it in her mind and didn't expect who came to her, so she got up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a gentle and pleasant girl. Her pale eyes were like the light of Yize Lake. Her loose hair was half up in a bun and half scattered behind her. A beige flowered headband hung on her shoulders and inserted into her hair. He picked up a gold-plated walking stick that fell to his ear, adding a bit of nobility to his whole person.
Qiong has never seen this girl before, but she is kind and quiet, and just one look at her makes people feel friendly enough.
"Who are you……"
The woman smiled and replied: "My name is Su Liming, I am the eldest daughter of the Su family."
Qiong also didn't expect that the person in front of her was the eldest lady of the Su family. Her surprise only lasted for half a breath. She was even more confused as to why the eldest lady of the Su family came to find her.
"Miss Lu, don't be surprised. I'm just here to deliver some dates to the disciples of the school." Su Liming held a small and exquisite bamboo basket in her hand. She opened the silk covering it and took out a small bag from it, smiling. Wanran: "Jujubes are falling in the jujube forest. I thought that the food for the children from various families who came to Yichuan was boring, so I ordered someone to bring some fresh ones."
Qiong was also a little dazed.
The dates Dao Qing Sheng Xuan Yuan gave me were given by others.
It was obviously Miss Su who gave him something, but this man actually gave it to me without changing his expression? It’s such a shame to let down other people’s good intentions!
When Su Mingxiao saw that Qiong didn't accept the gift, he added, "Miss Lu, you don't have to be polite. Every one of my disciples has given these dates as gifts."
Qiong Yi pursed her lips and smiled, and responded, "Yes. Thank you, Miss Su." After that, she took the dates.
It wasn't just given to Sheng Xuanyuan, it was given to everyone. Qiong Yi thought for no reason, but the jujube was given to me by Sheng Hao in the morning, which means that Su Liming gave it to him yesterday. I didn't hear that any disciple received the jujube yesterday, which means...
When Su Mingxiao gave dates, he was the first to give them to him.
"I heard from my brother that Miss Lu, you and his classmate are lively and smart, and I can see you today."
Listening to Su Liming's words, Qiong Yi smiled, showing her little tiger teeth, and replied: "Su Ye is also straightforward and very good at talking. It is my honor to meet you, Miss Su, today."
Su Mingxiao covered her face and smiled.
"Miss Su, do you want to come in and sit down? I have some Sichuan tea in the house. Why don't you have some tea before leaving?" Qiong Yi invited.
"No, no." Su Mingxiao waved her hand, "I still have to send these dates to other disciples, so I won't keep any more." She paused and then said, "I sent the dates to Miss Lu's house before. , I also listened to some miscellaneous words, I heard that the eldest son Lu Yuhao is older and has passed the age of attending school, so I was wondering if there is a chance to invite him to Yize to play."
The gossip coming from Lu Lanshan was definitely not good. Qiong Yi secretly said, "What's the use of asking my senior brother to come to Yize to play with me?" Senior brother doesn’t listen to me.
She replied with a smile on her lips: "I think if it is a family matter, my senior brother may come to Yize with the master; if it is a private meeting, he may not be busy."
"Well, that's it." Su Minxiao gently raised her hand and placed it on the bamboo basket: "It's getting late, Miss Lu, I'll go first."
Qiong also looked at her and saw her disappearing away before entering the room and closing the door.
Qiong Yi leaned against the door, the dates wrapped heavily in her hands, but she didn't want to open it or eat the dates inside.
Qiong Yi, Qiong Yi, what are you thinking about?
Qiong Yi closed her eyes and said to herself, Sheng Hao and Su Ye live in the same dormitory. When Su Ye's sister comes, she will definitely visit her brother first, and she won't go empty-handed. In this way, Sheng Hao and him What happened if I got the dates one day first?
Qiong Yi sat back at the desk, leaned on the desk, and sighed deeply: Is my brain broken?
Why do you always miss him?
Qiong Yi gritted his teeth: "I've taken it. This person Sheng Hao must be poisonous!"
While she was thinking, she shook out all the green dates in her arms and sleeves, piled them on a corner of the table, and blew out a breath: Huh, I won't eat yours.
I thought about it again and again, why did Su Liming come to deliver dates in person, one by one?
Qiong Yi leaned on the desk, wrapped her knuckles around the bright green ribbon on the side of her dress, and twisted it around several times, thinking silently: If she just wanted to give dates as a gift, why would she, a young lady, condescend to come to the door to deliver them, or directly order someone to do so? Wouldn’t it be nice to just distribute it?
Therefore, the focus is not on giving dates, but on "Su Liming" coming to give dates to people.
Qiong Yi sat up suddenly, as if she understood something. Miss Su, are you selling everyone's favor?
The people who come to this school are not disciples of ordinary small families. They are either from small clans with some strength, or from clans attached to the five clans, or are related by relatives. They are all people with potential in the future. Young monks.
After all, the handler is short-handed and the cannibal is soft-spoken. Accepting this small bag of dates can not only exchange a few words, but also be regarded as a meeting and friendship.
Qiong also finally realized that what her master and senior brother said about the decline of the Su family's fortunes really existed. As a outsider, Qiong Yi didn't know much about this kind of thing. She had also heard about it in the chats between the disciples. Although this study gathering was held in the name of the Su family, the expenses were jointly paid by the five clans. Even, The Su family can also make a lot of money from it.
But when she thought of how Su Ye was usually cheerful and heartless, Qiong Yi could not have imagined that Su would be in this situation.
Qiong Yi slapped the table and thought: I have nothing to do with other people's affairs.
With such a shot, the mountains of jujubes piled on the corner of the table began to roll around and fell to the ground. They quickly ran away shouting for freedom. Qiong Yi quickly stopped a few on the table and saw the jujubes all over the floor to pick up. , she sighed heavily.
*
The next day.
When Qiong Yi came to the foot of the mountain, Sheng Xuanyuan was practicing his sword here as always.
His eyes were fixed on the sword in his hand, and he did not leave it for a moment. The cold white blade turned up and down in his hand, like a silver snake spitting a message.
Qiong Yi didn't walk up the mountain, but stood aside and watched. She wanted to wait until he stopped practicing and then say something to him, but ended up looking in unknowingly.
Sheng's Jichen's swordsmanship was superb and sharp, and Qiong didn't understand the method. She only felt that Sheng Xuanyuan's steps were steady, the tip of the sword was extremely stable, there was no fault at all, and his basic skills were extremely solid.
After practicing a series of sword moves, Sheng Xuanyuan breathed out and sheathed his sword, and then he realized that there was someone standing not far away.
"Lu Xiyan, when did you come?"
Qiong Yi replied: "It didn't take long, I just watched it for a while."
Sheng Xuanyuan said "Oh" and stopped talking.
He became silent, and Qiong also realized that it was time for him to speak loudly. He took out the small bag of dates in his arms and said, "Why did you give me something that was given to you by others?"
Sheng Xuanyuan had not yet reacted: "What?"
Qiong Yi stepped forward and handed over the dates: "This!"
Sheng Xuanyuan looked at the package of dates and seemed to understand something. He said, "I don't like eating them."
Qiong Yi frowned: "If you don't like it, why don't you just give it to me?"
"Don't you like eating too?"
Qiong Yiwen was silenced by these words. She felt that the question was inexplicably irritating, but it was also quite funny: "This is the date given to you by Miss Su Liming, and you gave it to me after changing hands?"
What she said was true. Sheng Xuanyuan nodded: "Yes."
Seeing Qiong Yi's expression as if he was about to get angry, he explained: "Miss Su sent too much. Su Ye doesn't want to eat it, and the tail can't eat so much, so I'll give you some."
have to!
If you don’t want to eat your tail, give it to me!
