When Liu Dan returned to Liu's house again, the sky was already dark, and a crescent moon drew a curved arc in the sky. After all, the night had not completely descended. The crescent moon was not golden, but a faint white.Liu Dan leaned on the vermilion railing on the corridor and meditated, while the koi in the lake gathered and scattered, playing and playing.Begonia flowers fall into the blue pool water, which is a delicate pink.Liu Dan caressed the jade pendant on her waist with her fingers, but smiled wryly.This time the matter can be postponed smoothly, but it owes the Hua family another favor.

There is always some connection between officials and officials, not to mention that Suzhou and Hangzhou are relatively close to each other, and the prefects of the two places are acquainted.He was selected by the scientific examination in the same year, so he will naturally make friends, and it can be regarded as finding an ally for himself.The decades of friendship between Hua Sheng and Liu Shicong, who have been sworn brothers, is naturally no small matter.Just talking about the jade pendant of the Hua family, which symbolizes the owner, there are only five pieces in total, but two pieces are in the hands of Liu Shicong and Liu Dan.

And Hua Sheng married the only daughter of the prefect of Hangzhou. With the prefect of Hangzhou as his father-in-law, he has strong financial resources.Seeing him, the local officials needed to give him three points and give some thin noodles. Thanks to this status, the prefect of Suzhou saw that it was the jade pendant of the owner of the Hua family, so he tolerated Liu Dan and treated him with courtesy.Liu Dan is not an unreasonable person, she just said that my father doesn't know where he is now, if the 5000 taels of silver proves to be swallowed up by my father without permission, it will naturally be returned.

The Suzhou magistrate saw Liu Dan as a delicate little girl, and thought that ordinary boudoir girls had no knowledge. Although they treated each other with courtesy, they were disdainful in their hearts.I wanted to use this to extort a sum of money from her. Since I have the Huajia jade pendant, I can naturally find any Huajia store to withdraw the silver taels.

But Liu Danwen is gentle, but when he talks and does things, there are sharp knives hidden in the cotton ball.According to Liu Dan's words, the Liu family will only compensate the magistrate if it is confirmed that Liu Shicong embezzled the 5000 taels of silver privately.That is to say, the magistrate will not only ask whether the money will come for a while, but also send someone to help find Liu Shicong.If you can't find it, then the 5000 taels of silver can only be delayed.

The magistrate jumped angrily, and immediately wanted to change his face and scold Liu Dan.Throwing Liu Dan into prison and beating him hard, Liu Dan looks absolutely gentle and delicate on the surface, but in fact he is definitely not easy to bully.She observed the words and expressions, and only smiled and knocked on the table. Before the magistrate could react, a silver light shot out from her wrist, immediately biting down five or six government servants holding sticks and ropes.

Then he went back to the table, hovered over a place and raised the snake's head high, threatening to spit out the snake letter, then obediently returned to Liu Dan's wrist, and used it as a silver bracelet again.

The prefect trembled and looked at the lying yamen servants, only to see that their faces were black and white, foaming at the mouth, but they were dying in an instant.Liu Dan melted the antidote she carried with her in water and poured it on their wounds. After a while, the toxin was released, but her hands and feet became stiff.Liu Dan smiled and said: "My pet is not too powerful, the poison has been cured, but this limp appearance probably needs to be maintained for two or three days."

After a long while, he sighed again: "This time I'm by my side. If you don't get the antidote within a cup of tea after being poisoned, you are doomed to die. My pet is not obedient and well-behaved. I often go out to play in the middle of the night by myself, and I don't know what happened today. Will you visit the prefect tonight?"

Hearing this, the magistrate's legs were sore and weak, and he wanted to slap the table to get up, but he swayed and sat back in the chair.Looking at Liu Dan's smiling pupils, it was the first time that she felt that this pretty girl was so scary.

He said tremblingly: "Liu...Mr. Liu's character is obvious to all, how could he do such a private thing. As the parents and officials of the people, I naturally have to trust my people, so how can I trust my people?" Will you do things that don't distinguish between black and white?"

After finishing his speech, he looked at Liu Dan's smiling expression, and added in a low voice: "Then Miss Liu must take good care of this snake... this pet. I... next..."

Liu Dan politely bid farewell, every move was polite and measured: "It's natural, so Liu Dan will leave first."

She turned and left, the plain blue skirt swayed gently with her steps, like water waves flowing, or like a blooming flower protruding from the courtyard.Indescribably demure and beautiful.

-

For the time being, Liu Shicong's situation has turned around, and it is much better for people from the government to intervene in the search than Liu Dan's own headless flies.Liu Dansi thought about it, guessed Liu Shicong's whereabouts, and in exchange for his servants to carefully ask Liu Shicong if there was anything unusual before.But when Liu Shicong left, Liu Dan was still in Suzhou and personally sent Liu Shicong out of the city.Naturally, she knew better that Liu Shicong was normal, and the more normal it was, the harder it was to check.

In the end, Liu Dan had no choice but to send someone to Hua's house to ask Hua Sheng if he had seen Liu Shicong, but he knew in his heart that there was little news.As a result, I only had dinner in the room in a hurry, and went to bed early.She was running all the way, and she should have felt tired, but she tossed and turned on the couch but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the clear and clear sound of a flute, fluttering into his ears.The sound of the flute is very casual, probably because the flute player is in a complicated mood, so he is not sticking to one piece of music.Liu Dan couldn't help standing up and pushing open the window, Liu Dan's room was on the second floor, and looking up, there were black eave tiles.

The sound of the flute became clearer, Liu Dan stood by the window and looked up.Because the eaves block the view, only the wind chimes hanging outside the window can be seen.The wind in the south of the Yangtze River is not as strong as in the north, and it brings a little warmth when it blows over the cheeks.August has come to midsummer, and insects are singing one after another.

Liu Dan once read a poem, which is called "the cicadas are more restless, the forest is more quiet, and the birds are singing, and the mountains are more secluded."It's the same now, the sound of insects sets off the silence of the long night more and more, and the quietness makes people feel peaceful in their hearts, as if they can blend into this small courtyard surrounded by moonlight, water, and weeping willows and begonias.

Liu Dan poked his head and joked: "Master Fan You is in a good mood, but he came to disturb people's dreams in the dead of night, what should he do?"

The sound of the flute stopped, and Fan Yao's voice came slowly, always elegant and soft: "Are you going to come up?" Away from a brick tile, perhaps because of the gentleness of the moonlight, Liu Dan only felt that his voice was somewhat indescribable. The lingering, really nice.

Liu Dan wanted to nod at first, but then hesitated: "This is not good, is it?" Fan Yao heard Liu Dan's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Everyone around is fast asleep, if you keep your voice down, no one will notice. "

Liu Dan lost her worries, bent over and lifted up the slightly trailing skirt, and tied a knot at her calf.The second floor is not very high, Liu Dan got out of the window frame sideways.Fan Yao obviously did not intend to help, and only pointed out aloud: "Stretch out your hand and grab the upper window frame, be careful not to fall."

Liu Dan did as she said, and immediately grabbed the corner of the eaves. Her movements were a little cautious, but she obviously felt it was fun and enjoyed it.Fan Yao looked at the girl and waved at him, a little dust rubbed on the bridge of her nose from nowhere.Immediately after being erased by Liu Dan indifferently, Fan Yao handed Liu Dan his hand, and Liu Dan used his strength to climb up to the roof.She looked down at the dust on her palms, slowly took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and then sat down casually like Fan Yao.

Only then did Fan Yao notice that the girl's calves were slender, and her skin seemed to be creamy.Only then did we understand what the ancients often said about the well-proportioned flesh and blood.But then Liu Dan also reacted, raised her hand to untie the hem of the skirt, the two of them sat side by side on the eaves, the girl's long hair was only tied up with hairpins, and the thick black hair brushed against Fan Yao's cheeks, slightly itch.

There is a crescent moon in the distance, and it just so happens that neither Liu Dan nor Fan Yao likes the full moon, which symbolizes reunion.It is because Fan Yao feels that Yueben has no feelings, at best, he is just a light that does not waste oil hanging high in the sky, why bother to look at the meaning with his own eyes?If everyone likes the full moon, wouldn't the crescent moon be lonely and desolate?And Liu Dan's reason is simpler, she just simply doesn't like that moon which is round and featureless like a pancake.

In a way, the two are actually a good match.Although it is often said that people who love each other are most suitable if they have opposite personalities, because only by learning to tolerate and understand in getting along can they support them all the way through the old age.But Fan Yao and Liu Dan are strikingly similar in some places, and this kind of similarity makes each other feel extremely comfortable, and they don't need to work hard to integrate and interact.

But no matter how lingering at this time, parting will always come.Fan Yao has nothing to hide from Liu Dan. If it were someone else, he might persuade and comfort him softly, but for Liu Dan, he can completely omit these superficial appearances.He hugged the girl lightly, felt the girl leaning against his arms obediently and supplely, and after a while gently pushed Liu Dan away.Liu Dan raised her head, took out the hairpin and tied her hair again, tilted her head and said with a smile, "Is Zi Zhen leaving?"

Fan Yao nodded, and Liu Dan added: "That Zizhen is careful all the way." After a pause, he looked at Fan Yao's dark eyes, and said with a smile: "Zizhen don't have to worry about me, I can handle the matter here myself. She stretched out her index finger and shook it, with a playful and lively expression.

Fan Yao looked at her for a while, then suddenly bent his lips slightly.He was born to be good-looking, with long hair dyed in ink under the moonlight, and starry eyes, he can indeed be called a gentleman, as sharp as a grinder.It is warm and moist, and there are no edges, corners or sharpness.

After all, she was still a little worried, took something out of her sleeve and handed it to Liu Dan. Liu Dan took it and saw that it was a wooden sign about the size of a palm, carved with flame patterns, filled with cinnabar, and decorated with lacquered gold.It looks like the real one, and there is a right character written in the middle of the seal script.

Fan Yao casually watched Liu Dan play casually, and before Liu Dan could ask, he explained: "This is the token of Mingjiao Guangming's right envoy, called Iron Flame Token. The left and right envoys of Guangming each hold one of them, except for the leader. , Those who see this order must obey the order of the orderer. I don’t know when I will return, so you can take it as a self-defense thing.”

Liu Dan nodded and realized after a while: "But isn't this called the Iron Flame Order? It's obviously made of wood."

Fan Yao glanced at the token in Liu Dan's hand lightly, waved the folding fan in his hand, and said, "Shen."

This answer was really unexpected, Liu Dan looked at the size of the token, and silently imagined the weight of the same iron block.Looking at Fan Yao's sleeves again, he silently agreed to this incongruous answer.

Fan Yao stood up, unlike Liu Dan's cautiousness, he looked extremely casual.The robes are in the wind, and the wide sleeves are fluttering.He stroked Liu Dan's head, lowered his head and kissed the girl's cheek.The voice was as ethereal as a sigh: "Wait for me to come back, Ran'er, wait for me to come back..."

He didn't say what to do when he came back, and Liu Dan didn't ask either.She just looked at the man's back, and when Fan Yao went down the roof, the last words came to Liu Dan's ear along with the leaving figure: "I left a gift for Ran'er, and it's in Ran'er's room..." At the end of the speech, the voice faintly surrounds the ears, but the person has already gone far.

Liu Dan stood on the roof in a daze, and after a while she came to her senses, but suddenly realized that she didn't know how to get down.She stomped her feet angrily, but there was a soft creaking sound from the tiles.Terrified, he hurriedly stabilized his body, and cautiously looked down.

I didn't feel it when I climbed up just now, but now I find that it is a bit high from the ground.When she was in a hurry, she turned her head and found that there was a ladder behind her.Facing where Fan Yao was, and he was sitting upright, Liu Dan didn't notice.

But now it seems that Fan Yao's qinggong is superb, so naturally he doesn't need this.Obviously it was prepared for Liu Dan, no wonder he left without any worries, not at all afraid that Liu Dan would not be able to come down to the ground alone under the eaves.

When Liu Dan returned to the room again, she suddenly found a sandalwood box on the table.Fastened with a brass cleat, it looks extremely delicate.Liu Dan was curious, and when Fan Yao handed over the Tie Yan Ling to him just now, he was only in a casual tone.As if it was nothing more than an insignificant thing.This gift is so solemn, what is inside?

Liu Dan stretched out her hand, slowly opened the lock, lifted the lid of the box, held the candle and looked down.But I found that there were only two books in it, and the title in the middle was "Taiping Guangji".

Suddenly burst into tears.

The author has something to say:

Rubbing his chin and contemplating his face, he fell in love with three characters in Yitian, one was the disfigured brother Yao, the other was Xie Xiaoxun who was blind and carried a [one-foot-four-five-foot mace], and the only one with complete limbs was Brother Xiao...【Hey...it seems that the adjective is used incorrectly】

Weak and weak fingers, well, since it is a fan, the author still can't hold back and is ready to stretch out his poisonous hand to Brother Xiao...but it will probably be written in an extra-fantasy situation, and this article will only mention a few paragraphs.
