Eight days have passed since the first night of red leaves.

On the ninth day, you time.

In the upper-class elegant room of Spring Breeze Pavilion.

A long-faced man threw down the piece of paper in his hand, and hurriedly rushed to another boy in red on the opposite side of the round table: "The three games are over, let's do something else!"

Tao Xing also threw the homemade playing cards in his hand on the table, put one hand on the long-faced man's shoulder to prevent him from approaching, and stood up with his strength, taking advantage of the situation to push the long-faced man away.

Tao Xing said with a smile: "Young Master Li, don't worry."

This smile is really eclipsed by the sun and the moon, dazzling.

Mr. Li's eyes were straightened.

"Master, don't you want to stay overnight? But Dad Sang told me that you just want to chat with me, if you go further, you will have to pay more." Tao Xing blinked while talking.

Mr. Li's heart was itching to death, and he hurriedly shouted: "I'll add more money! I'll add as much as I want!"

Tao Xing stretched out his hand and said casually, "18 taels."

Mr. Li took out his pocket, but he didn't bring any change, only a 100 tael bank note.

Tao Xing took it, not afraid of it cracking, he held the corner of the silver note and shook it up and down like a candy wrapper: "Oh, I only have 80 taels of silver, so it's not easy to get change. The young master has two taels of silver on me. ?”

"Yes, yes!"

Tao Xing settled the accounts with him seriously: "Then Mr. Li will give me two taels of broken silver. Two taels plus 18 taels is exactly 20 taels, and 100 taels minus 20 taels is 80 taels. I just need to give you back the 80 taels That's fine, I happen to have it."

Mr. Li, who can only add, subtract, multiply and divide single-digit numbers, was taken aback for a moment, and nodded after listening: "Yes, yes."

After saying that, he put two taels of silver into Tao Xing's hands.

Tao Xing accepted it with a smile, and put all the 100 taels of silver and two taels of silver into the pockets of the inner coat he sewed himself.

Seeing that the transaction was completed, Mr. Li immediately rushed forward again. The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Tao Xing stood by the door waiting for this moment, and immediately jumped out.

The old bustard stopped Mr. Li, and explained with an apologetic smile on his face: "Mr. Li, your time is up, and the rest of the time until the evening will be occupied by another son."

Of course Mr. Li didn’t do it when he was in the mood, and roared: “Who dares to rob someone with me?! Isn’t it just adding money? I added it! If you don’t believe me, ask Hongye, I just added money!”

Everyone looked at Tao Xing. Tao Xing was holding an 80 taels of silver bill in his hand. He stretched it out in front of the bustard tremblingly, his eyelids drooped, tears streaming down his face: "This guest not only hit me just now, but also Threatening me to give him money, oh...he even said he would renege on the debt..."

If you want to renege on the debt, is it okay? !Seeing that the money-eyed old bustard heard that Mr. Li was going to renege on the debt, he pulled it even tighter, and called a few rough men in the restaurant to press Mr. Li downstairs to ask for money.

The old bustard left, Tao Xing's tears disappeared instantly as soon as the door was closed, and he left even faster than when he came, which was amazing.

Shui Zhudan: "..."

Murong Shuang originally felt that there was something strange about this matter from the unbelievable look in Mrs. Li's eyes towards Tao Xing before he was dragged away, but seeing Tao Xing's undisguised appearance confirmed his previous guess.

He thought of Tao Xing's eccentric appearance when he was being treated, and a smile unconsciously curled up on the corner of his mouth: "If you fail to find pleasure, you will be cheated instead. That young master is really miserable."

"Stop pretending to be kind." Tao Xing rolled his eyes at him, sat down casually, poured a cup of tea, raised his head and took a big sip, and wiped it with the back of his hand twice after drinking without any paper.

Murong Shuang's expression remained the same, but she was surprised in her heart. Tao Xing's appearance was very different from the polite and respectful painting style of other young ladies in Chunfeng Pavilion, not to mention that as the number one of Chunfeng Pavilion, he must learn more etiquette than other small pavilions. No matter what your nature is, no matter what you do, you will never be so casual in front of guests.

But Murong Shuang didn't feel disgusted, on the contrary, because of this unique special treatment, she had a different sense of superiority.

This is the truest side of Hongye, which only he can see.Thinking of this, Murong Shuang felt a kind of heartfelt joy from the bottom of her heart.Strange, he hadn't been really happy for a long time.

Tao Xing: "It would be better if you came later, I could have tricked him a little more."

"Come a little later, do you know the consequences?" Murong Shuang narrowed her eyes dangerously, and her rarely happy mood turned sour again.

He squeezed Tao Xing's chin, and almost immediately left a red mark on Tao Xing's skin with great force: "I haven't asked you yet, how many nights have you been with during this time?"

Tao Xing was in pain, and pulled his hand away: "The old wound hasn't healed yet, do you want to die if you pick up the night companion again? Although the old bustard loves money, he also understands long-term interests, okay? Let go, don't talk about it , Men and women can't accept kissing!"

The word "old injury" made Murongshuang feel guilty, but at the same time had some secret joy, this first experience of collision was given to him by him.

Murong Shuang let go, sat next to Tao Xing, and said with a smile: "I've done the closer things, are you still afraid that I won't kiss you?"

It’s okay if he doesn’t mention this, but Tao Xing will explode when he mentions it: “If I hadn’t been caught in the trap, do you think you can get such a bargain? It hurts me to death, and it’s not you who got hurt!”

Murong Shuang was unexpectedly silent, and after a while he whispered: "Sorry... I also got caught up and lost control for a while, did you take the medicine I gave you later?"

Tao Xing shook his hand, almost unable to hold the cup.

He was an adult in his original world, and the social atmosphere was open. He could regard the situation last time as an accidental one-night stand. There will be a sense of guilt, on the contrary, he may feel that Xiaoguan should be grateful.

He just complained casually. Although there was indeed an element of anger at such a muddled confession of chastity, he didn't expect the actor to actually apologize to him.

The male protagonist didn't play cards according to the routine, which made Tao Xing a little uncomfortable: "I used it, and the effect is... quite good."

"That's good."

"Um……"

The two were relatively silent for a while, and Murong Shuang sat quietly for a long time to break the silence first, and put a piece of paper on the table: "Why did you come to me?"

There is only one line of small words on the paper: Come to Chunfeng Pavilion to find me at you hour on the ninth day.

The note was written by Tao Xing, and it was stuffed around Murong Shuang's waist that night before it fell into the trap. Fortunately, it didn't fall off, but even if Tao Xing lost it, he believed that Murong Shuang would come to him again, and there was something Murong Shuang wanted to discover about him. secret.

Murong Shuang asked: "Why do we have to meet on the ninth day?"

Tao Xing said: "Because tonight is different from other nights."

Murong Shuang understood after a little thought: "Do you want me to take you to the Dragon Boat Lantern Festival?"

There are no holidays for the servants, and the usual rest time is limited. There must be more guests coming to the servants' halls than usual on a festival like today. It's no wonder that the madam is willing to let Tao Xing out to play.

But that was the Dragon Boat Festival Lantern Festival!Tao Xing has been looking forward to it for a long time, and there will definitely be a lot of delicious food at the Lantern Festival!Even if he had to climb, he would have to climb over!

In order to escape smoothly on this day, Tao Xing specially left a note for Murong Shuang to come to him. Once the door is closed, the madam will never come to disturb Murong Shuang's "good business", and no one will find out that he is no longer in the room. .

Tao Xing was in a good mood, opened the window and smiled at Murong Shuang: "Your answer is correct. Come on, take me to pretend to fly! Don't refuse, I know you can do it easily!"

Murong Shuang wrapped one hand around Tao Xing's waist, tapped the branches with her toes, and arrived at one of the entrances and exits of the Lantern Festival in a few strokes.

Murong Shuang didn't rush to let go of the hand around Tao Xing's waist: "How do you know I can do light work?"

They are all routines, do you still need to ask?Tao Xing replied without hesitation: "You have calluses on your palms. This is what people who hold swords all year round will have. It means that you know martial arts, and you have practiced martial arts for more than three years."

Tao Xing had long been fascinated by the various food stalls in front of him. After saying these few words, he broke away from Murongshuang's embrace, and ran to the nearest stinky tofu stall in three steps at a time.

The temperature in her arms suddenly disappeared, Murong Shuang lowered her eyelids, took a look at the arm that was still attached to that person just now, slowly lowered her hand, and followed Tao Xing.

How many days of waiting, for this moment!Tao Xing's eyes were shining, and he ate while walking, halfway through the walk, his stomach was full.

"Hic." Tao Xing burped, but he still wanted to eat, but his stomach was weak.

He rubbed his stomach, with a resentful expression on his face: "It would be great if I had two stomachs."

Murong Shuang smiled: "Would you like to continue shopping?"

Tao Xing nodded: "Go for a walk. Take a walk to digest, and I can fight again after I finish digesting!"

The smile in Murong Shuang's eyes grew stronger, his dark pupils were shining brightly at the moment, like thousands of stars falling into them, and his voice was full of affection that he didn't even notice: "Okay."

Tao Xing was stunned for a moment, and had to admit that the actor's skin is good. He couldn't help feeling: "You still look good with a real smile, but a fake smile is too ugly."

He had just finished complimenting, but Murong Shuang quickly restrained his smile.

He hasn't become an emperor yet, and his personality is so volatile. How about growing up?Murong Shuang didn't say anything, Tao Xing was a little angry, so he didn't say anything at all.

Shui Zhudan took the opportunity to fly to Tao Xing's ear: "I really can't stand by and watch, can you be more serious? Don't forget that the person you want to attack is Murong Xiao, not Murong Shuang."

Of course he remembered the nonsense, Tao Xing glared at Shui Zhudan, what's the rush, he is working hard to complete the task, okay?

Tao Xing quietly pointed to a certain direction behind him, signaling Shui Zhu to look away. There were two people in ordinary clothes mixed in the crowd behind him. They had been following Tao Xing since Tao Xing entered this street. One was farther away. , and the other is very close, if you don't observe carefully, you won't notice that these two people are following them.

Shui Zhudan was puzzled: "Are they Murong Shuang's subordinates? Secretly protecting Murong Shuang?"

Tao Xing shook his head slightly. It is impossible for Murong Shuang to go out without anyone following him to protect him, but these two people followed him but did not deliberately hide their whereabouts. Obviously, they deliberately let Murong Shuang notice them, and sent someone to After stalking but deliberately letting the person being stalked find out, why do such a thankless thing?

There is only one person who would come up with such an awkward and jealous expression without being afraid of offending Murong Shuang.
