[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

After the internal force circulated in his body for a week, Xia Anran heard Bai Jinxi's voice, "Concentrate."

He doesn't seem to talk much, and he is a little hoarse when he opens his voice.The most obvious difference between his voice and that of Big Brother Bai is that it is colder.

After all, Bai Jintang is a businessman. Although he has a gentle and honest personality, he has also learned some language, pronunciation, and communication arts as a businessman.

For example, how to make others trust, how to grasp the rhythm, how to calm down and make people happy.It just so happened that Xia Anran once knew a group of people who were better at this, and he was always naturally full of vigilance against this persuasive voice.

But Bai Jinxi's voice was more transparent and clear, with a throaty hoarse tone, and the two of them were very close. These two words were like whispering, directly tickling people's hearts.

This is also the reason why he was able to distinguish the voices of the two of them in the first place, not because he was wearing tinted glasses, but because the voice of his own man really wanted to poke him more.

Although the voice line is different from Cao Chun's, he listened to Cao Chun's voice all the way from the voice of youth to the deep voice of middle age, and the sweetness in the memory.

The way he distinguishes people is not just by sound.

Xia Anran woke up from the dizzy feeling of comfort, he opened his eyes, met the man's gaze, the two looked at each other, and he suddenly burst into a smile.

Bai Jinxi was ordered to monitor, so naturally he kept paying attention to his subtle expressions, not missing every moment that might reveal his state of mind, so he could not miss this trusting and soft smile.

My heart jumped suddenly for some reason, and I felt a burst of joy for some reason, just like the yellow cat at home who always ignored people suddenly ran to wrap its fluffy tail around people one day.

In just an instant, people's hearts softened into a puddle of water, even though they knew that it might just be attracted to the fish on the plate, they just wanted to reach out and touch its head.

Bai Jinxi frowned, suppressed the strange impulse for a moment, turned his gaze, and raised the arms of the two to signal him to concentrate.

Bai Jinxi asked Xia Anran to remember the turnover route of internal force.

This time, the inner force he manipulated walked very slowly, enough for Xia Anran to remember every turn and every path.On the third Sunday, Xia Anran clumsily manipulated her internal force to take Bai Jinxi away. The latter observed with fixed eyebrows, so by the fourth turn, Xia Anran was able to use her internal force on her own.

Exactly as Lu Xiaofeng said, the talent is outstanding.

Second Young Master Bai collected his energy and calmed down. He watched Xia Anran raise his eyebrows and use his internal energy, but he came to such a conclusion after a while.

Just like Lu Xiaofeng's judgment, Xia Anran's body practice is stable and grand, and it is a decent way. His basic skills are relatively solid, but in recent days, his meridians have stagnated, and there is indeed no sign of kung fu.

If you can even forget the exercises, you should indeed have amnesia.

——Bai Jinxi agrees with Lu Xiaofeng's judgment on this.

And if you do lose your memory, you can memorize the meridians running just by using your own internal energy for two rounds... With such a talent, if you continue, you will definitely be in the forefront of the world.

The second young master of the Bai family raised his eyes, and what he saw was Lu Xiaofeng staring at the bird bound by the sleeve cloth. It was obvious that the parrot wanted to fly just now, but was stopped by Lu Xiaofeng... But, it was just It's just a bird, yet Lu Xiaofeng even used Liuyunfei's sleeves?

Seeing him raising his eyebrows in a teasing manner, Lu Xiaofeng could only smile wryly.

Just now, Second Young Master Bai and Xia Anran were concentrating on practicing their kung fu, so naturally they didn't notice that the bird was fine at first, but for some reason, when they saw their palms facing each other, they suddenly became violent and wanted to get closer. Lu Xiaofeng saw Second Young Master Bai and Xia Anran People's internal strengths match, and they are afraid that it will interrupt and cause internal injuries to both of them, so they want to stop it, who knows that Xia Anran, as a layman, can easily hold this bird, which is extremely difficult to handle at this time.

Although Lu Xiaofeng has a phoenix in his name, he is a smaller, nimble and experienced bird than he had to cut his feathers after all.

The parrot hovers in the air and turns sharply, moving left and right.

Lu Xiaofeng is not good at hidden weapons. He has seen Xia Anran get along with this parrot again, and he knows that one person and one bird have a strong relationship, and they are somewhat cautious. In the end, he had no choice but to use his little friend Huamanlou's unique skill - Liuyun Feishou Roll the bird down.

Liu Yunfei's practice was mediocre, but it's okay to catch a bird, but this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Second Young Master Bai.

Facing Second Young Master Bai, it was full of [You, Lu Xiaofeng, want to make such a big fuss even if you catch a bird? ]'s teasing, if it wasn't for grabbing the bird with one hand, Lu Xiaofeng would have turned around covering his face.

He let the bird out of his sleeve in embarrassment, and was kicked several times by his thin legs. As soon as the gray-haired parrot came out, it flew away to Xia Anran, and before the two people who were awake in the room sighed with emotion Deep in love, he discovered that the bird was flying towards Bai Jinxi.

It fluttered its small wings, chirping and chirping very happily, and went straight to Bai Jinxi's head. For some reason, Bai Jinxi didn't dodge, he only raised his eyes slightly, watching the bird land firmly on Bai Ershao's head As soon as the little paw was pulled, it squatted down on his hair.

When Xia Anran opened her eyes, what she saw was the bird lying on Bai Jinxi's head and looking at him with a bit of bravado.

Xia Anran: ...?

"Could it be, Brother Bai, your... bird?"

Xia Anran had a weird expression on her face, she didn't know whether she should laugh or hold back.

Cough, lying on top of his father's head may be Xia Duoduo's dream when he was a goose, but the goose was already a big goose when they met, the limit is standing on his father's shoulders, wanting to lie on his head That is absolutely impossible.

Shen Qi also firmly rejected the heavy goose feather hat.

And Xia Anran... If a goose weighing nearly [-] kilograms lay on her head, the weakling Xia Anran would probably end up with a stiff neck.

In this world, Duoduo's size has become smaller, but Xia Anran's black hair, who has always been wearing a crown, is neat, and there is no place to lie down. The limit is standing on his hair crown. Unexpectedly, Xia Duoduo finally found a chance to complete This is the ultimate dream of being a bird.

Because it was on the boat, Bai Jinxi's hair, whose black hair was loose and only tied with satin, was fluffy. Duoduo parroted it a few times, and then buried himself in the most comfortable position. Seeing Xia Anran open his eyes, he was so proud After yelling a few times, he straightened his chest and almost sang.

But Xia Anran felt that if he croaked on Bai Jinxi's head, he might be kicked out immediately.

"It's not mine." Bai Jinxi's movements remained unchanged. He got up and sat back on the chair. During the period, it seemed that because of the slightly larger range of movements, Xia Anran obviously saw the red tail hidden in the black hair. He quickly adjusted his posture so that he didn't fall out.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention to his hair, Second Young Master Bai glanced at them indifferently, and explained, "I saw it in the forest when I was out of Beijing. At that time... it robbed me of a butcher's shop. I was eager to travel, so I didn't go with him." He cares."

At this moment, the parrot, which had been only squawking like a duck, suddenly yelled in Bai Ershao's hair, "Jingxi, Jingxi."

The three adult men were slightly stunned, and then Lu Xiaofeng clapped his hands fiercely, "That's right, this bird may have heard Brother Bai's name at that time, and then it often called in Brother Xia's ear, Brother Xia may have heard Brother Bai's name. This is the name of the word."

Xia Anran opened his mouth, he just wanted to explain that this is not the case, he met this bird in Bianjing, and his character was taken in Songjiang, he looked at Bai Jintang, whom he had known since Songjiang, but saw him slightly shook his head.

Bai Jintang was standing in the backlight, if he hadn't deliberately looked over, he would have seemed to be hiding in the darkness, even though he was dressed in white, he was not conspicuous at all.

Bai Jintang's movements were not noticed by anyone except Xia Anran who followed the trend.

Although I don't know why Big Brother Bai signaled him to conceal this matter, Xia Anran took advantage of the situation and acted like he had suddenly realized.

Lu Xiaofeng was still thinking at this time, and he didn't notice the communication between the two people's eyebrows. He paced the room and said as he walked, "If Brother Xia and Brother Bai have never met before, the coincidence in your names It can be understood from this, then there is only one traceable place left for Brother Xia."

"It is your name."

"Why is your surname Xia?"

"Why is it called An Ran?"

"To name myself should be because of a momentary throb... or some kind of inspiration."

"Brother Xia has an outstanding appearance and good manners. He must be from a rich family. In this case, the surname will not be changed. After all, the big family is different from our martial arts people. The surname is the glory of a lifetime." Lu Xiaofeng stopped and sat down gracefully.

"I dragged my friends to check before, and now the southern big family with Xia as the surname should be in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and the southern accent of Brother Xia matches."

"And the word An Ran, I guessed at the beginning that it wasn't named after that."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were burning, "Because Brother Xia is in good health, has martial arts skills, and has no hidden injuries. According to the naming rules in the south, the word "An Ran" should not be directly on the name."

"The only possibility is that it is a nickname, or it is related to the local place name."

"Here, I found one place."

"De'an, Jiangzhou, there is a family of the Xia clan, who is the heir of the Duke of Wei Xia Chenghao. Brother Xia can go there and ask. With his handsome appearance, he will definitely not be lost in the crowd."

Seeing the astonishment on Xia Anran's face, he paused and stroked his beard, "It's just my guess, brother Xia, don't take offense."

"No..." Xia Anran stood up and bowed to him with a sincere expression, "Thank you, Brother Lu."

"Brother Lu... I'm sorry to bother you." He is really grateful. Only he knows this. He used his own name for the name. One reason is that this body has no name, so naturally no one else would. It's strange, and secondly, it's also for the convenience of meeting lovers.

It's just that Lu Xiaofeng didn't know, the information he knew was very limited, in order to find Xia Anran's life experience, when he obviously didn't entrust it, he dug out words, dug out every known information to find a chance for him.

Being able to shrink the possibility to one county for him step by step, Lu Xiaofeng was relaxed on the surface, but in fact he must have put in a lot of hard work.

Such a friend... Xia Anran was both guilty and moved, he stood in front of Lu Xiaofeng, clasped his hands together, his bright eyes sparkled, "Brother Lu."

Lu Xiaofeng was startled, Xia Anran didn't have much strength, he could break free as a martial artist, but for some reason, he couldn't move!

Your friend, Xia Anran launched a mysterious skill passed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty on you—hands that cannot be freed. This skill is very effective for those with high martial arts skills.

Xia Anran held Lu Xiaofeng's hand neither loose nor tight, not obscene, nor would it make people feel restrained, it was a very comfortable strength, with the touch of both hands, it seemed to be able to feel the inner strength from the other party .

Lu Xiaofeng could feel Xia Anran's touch and shock, which made him a little shy.

The four-browed Lu Xiaofeng can laugh at provocations and criticisms, but he is not good at thanking his friends.

He used to like giving charcoal in a timely manner, not adding icing on the cake.

If he was facing someone else, he would definitely push them away and run away at this time, but facing Xia Anran, who can't use internal force, he was suddenly as helpless as if he was facing a piece of soft tofu, and could only be embarrassed. people hold hands.

Fortunately, Xia Anran's next sentence immediately resolved his embarrassment at the moment.

Xia Anran said, "I know some recipes for making wine, and in the future I will get good wine, so Brother Lu must drink it to his heart's content."

"It's a deal!" Lu Xiaofeng sincerely held Xia Anran's hand of friendship.

"Cough," just when the two brothers felt that their relationship with each other had sublimated, they concealed their identities, but Bai Jinxi, who is still an official administrative law enforcement officer, said to stop him, "According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, folks are not allowed to make wine privately..."

"It's okay," Brother Bai waved his hand to help them out. He said that the Bai family has a wine shop, and if Brother Xia wants to make wine, he can just use the name of the wine shop.At that time, you only need to report it upwards. If the quantity is not large, the official will not care whether the wine is given away or drunk by yourself.

Unlike the Eastern Han Dynasty, where private wine making was strictly prohibited, the climate in the Northern Song Dynasty was warm, the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the grain was abundant.

Rich food led to a flourishing wine industry.

At the same time, in the Song Dynasty, from the officials to the ordinary people, they all liked to drink good wine. Sufficient food, the atmosphere of weddings, and the need for trade in the north all promoted the development of the folk wine industry.

Just out of the need to prevent the folks from using all the food for wine making and reducing the folks' own disaster resistance capabilities, the officials of the Song Dynasty explicitly prohibited folk wine making.

In private, he turned a blind eye when he brewed small batches of wine and drank it by the government. As for Xia Anran's behavior of saying that he would break the law in front of judicial officials, it was really... unreasonable.

What he didn't expect was that his elder brother was actually on Xia Anran's side.

Bai Jinxi exchanged glances with Bai Jintang, and finally compromised.

He put one leg up and sat in a more casual posture, with one hand propped on his knee, seeing the two people chatting about all kinds of alcohol, for some reason, he felt a little unhappy.

At this moment, Xia Anran turned her head, and the moment the two looked at each other, Xia Anran burst into a smile, "At that time, Second Brother Bai will also come together."

Bai Jinxi froze for a moment, before he regained consciousness, he had already heard his own voice.

He said "OK."

===

The boat sailed to the center of the river, where the water waves have stabilized, and the wind is down again, and the water waves are stable.

The silver plate was hanging high this day, but the most beautiful one was Jiang Zhongyue.

The water waves are steady, and the full moon can be easily touched in the water. If you sit on the edge of the bed with a wine cup, there will also be a beautiful moon in the cup.

This is a beauty that is absolutely not available in modern times.

To see this scene in modern times, unless the lights of the entire ship are turned off and the water surface is empty, you can feel the three parts of loneliness, four parts of vastness, and one hundred thousand parts of tranquility and softness.

However, some people are born with nothing to do with tranquility.

Xia Anran blinked, and saw a man in Tsing Yi stepping out of the moon, crushing the tranquility of a river, and leaving with the autumn wind, he could still hear the man's laughing and talking in the distance.

"Brother in front, the breeze is gentle tonight, and the moonlight is so beautiful, are you interested in watching the moon and drinking with us?"

It was Lu Xiaofeng, he actually ran to the merchant ship moored ahead to invite people to play together.

Xia Anran put down the teacup that he used as a wine cup, went up the steps and got out of the cabin, and saw the two brothers of the Bai family standing on the side of the boat, looking at the direction of Lu Xiaofeng's departure, and felt his footsteps and the sound of opening the cabin. voice, the two turned their heads in unison.

Beside them, there is a round table with a jug of wine and three wine cups warmed on it. It is obvious that the three of them were drinking against the moon just now, which is very elegant.

Seeing Xia Anran walk in, Bai Jintang explained with a smile, "We were admiring the moon just now, and later Brother Lu made a bet with us."

"Bet?" Xia Anran was putting on a cloak, and the river in late autumn was very cold. Even though his body didn't feel the chill, but in an era when there was no special medicine, and a little wind and cold would drink bitter medicine, he had already I am used to keeping warm before the body surface feels the sensation.

When he got to the edge of the boat, he was already fully dressed, and said with a smile, "It seems that you two won?"

"Well," seeing him approaching, Bai Jinxi took a step back and stood upwind, shielding Xia Anran from the wind of the river. He held a small bottle with his fingertips, but he didn't intend to drink. "Let's bet with him." How long will it take for the fish to jump in the middle of the river."

"and then?"

"He bet two sticks of incense, and we saw each other for a longer time."

"So he stared at the river surface filled with two sticks of incense, and then went to invite Brother Lu and the others." Bai Jintang laughed and said, "I'll call someone to lift the anchor. Today's level is good enough that we can join the boat. Let's go drink with them."

"I heard that brother Lu bought a lot of good wine in Bianjing this time." Saying this, the young man greeted Xia Anran, "Jingxi, go and change into thicker clothes, we won't go home until we're drunk tonight."

Xia Anran responded, and followed back to the cabin, within a short while, he felt a slight shaking, and then the sound of water waves.

The ship dropped anchor.

This shaking woke up Duoduo who was already sleeping in the rabbit fur. He flapped his wings twice, looked around inexplicably, and finally flew to the top of Xia Anran's clothes hanger. Moonlight Robe, who was wearing a crown, saw it coming, and picked Duoduoying and put it on his hair crown.

Before leaving the hatch, he hesitated for a while, but still didn't pick up the folding fan with the orange on it.

It's just a month reward, so it should be fine.He just needs to pay attention to it, otherwise it would be too strange for him to still be holding a folding fan while the river wind is howling.

——The next day, Xia Anran wanted to knock himself out who thought so the night before and throw him into the water to calm down.

Where will it be all right!Big problem!

He has some problems with his body, but his drinking capacity is mediocre, compared to those few with internal energy, he is really miserable.

The people in Lu's family are hospitable and hospitable, and they don't see Xia Anran as a stranger. The two large merchant ships are together, although they are not very close for the safety of the ship, but this distance, several people can do it easily and easily. Song will be able to cross over.

Xia Anran was naturally brought by Big Brother Bai.

After they landed, they found that the Lu family, which had purchased wine and meat this time, had already set up a banquet.

In order to enjoy the moon, they directly made a pot, which is a popular shabu-shabu pot in later generations. Charcoal is placed in the middle, and the charcoal surrounds the soup.

The four members of the Bai family and the two brothers of the Lu family gathered around a round table with their elder brother's eldest son. When they went, Bai Jintang brought two river fish, and immediately asked the chef to slice them. Make soup with sea fish, and eat the fish meat. The Bai family also brought bacon, which is excellent with wine.

They were all young people, but they got acquainted after a while, and eating pot was just for fun, and the main purpose of these people was to drink and chat.

This drinking will not cause problems.

Xia Anran huddled under the blanket, shivering, he really didn't know how to go out and face outsiders.

he's drunk.

There was trouble.

Also, she sang to Bai Jinxi to make fun of him.

He didn't remember the expression of Bai Er Shao at that time, but Xia Anran knew her man's temper well, so if someone sang this kind of song to him, he would break his legs.

Hiss... Speaking of which, my legs really hurt a little, Xia Anran stretched out her thin legs from under the quilt, and stepped on the ground, but fortunately, they were still there, not broken.

This pain... it shouldn't be interrupted and picked up again, right?Probably not, I didn’t seem to feel any pain yesterday, forget about it, don’t worry about it, ignorance is bliss.

He retracted himself under the quilt again, feeling really ashamed.

Just as he was still struggling with how to get out, there was a knock on his door.Seeing that he didn't respond after a while, Lu Xiaofeng's smiling voice sounded outside, "Brother Xia, are you awake?"

……No.

Xia Anran with a broken face wrapped himself into a ball, he shrank towards the corner, his whole body exuded a pitiful and helpless aura, he hated that the people outside didn't intend to let him go, he knocked twice After the door still didn't get a response, Lu Xiaofeng muttered, "It's not going to happen." Then he opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he came in, all he saw was a large hairball growing on the bed.

Lu Xiaofeng was having fun right now.

After making sure that Xia Anran was fine, he walked in slowly. At this time, Xia Anran was covered under the quilt. After hearing him approaching, the quilt was slowly put down, and Lu Xiaofeng met a face full of red. A face full of regret.

Tsk tsk tsk, I still remember, look how the child has been suppressed.

Lu Xiaofeng was happy in his heart, but his face was extremely kind. He sat down on the bed, looked at Xia Anran who was hesitating and speechless, and comforted him, "It's okay, don't worry, everyone didn't take it to heart yesterday."

Really?

Xia Anran's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, anyway, Bai Da and I didn't take it seriously, you know Bai Er's character, you can't see through it, you can't see it through."

Isn't this just nonsense!

Xia Anran sighed, he stretched out his hand and scratched his black hair, the action was very rude, Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the young man whose bun was unbuttoned, the young man with loose long hair and no longer holding his face looked plain and small At a good age, at first glance, he looks like a teenager in his teens.

Lu Xiaofeng blinked his eyes, and the sudden flash of doubt was covered by a smile.Seeing that he was really distressed, the kind-hearted Big Brother Lu comforted him, "You have to go out sooner or later, let's just keep company with Bai Er."

"Bai Er doesn't seem to have a fussy personality. If it's a big deal, let him beat you up. Don't worry, you are now the golden baby of the Bai family. When Bai Jinxi hits you, you will definitely let your brain and hands go."

Isn't that just discounted legs!

Xia Anran gave him a blank look, he was quite satisfied with his body and legs, and didn't want them to have any problems at all!

He naturally knew what to do in this matter was the best.

It's just that... it's embarrassing.

So humiliating.

To be honest, after recognizing Bai Er as Cao Chun, Xia Anran still thought up one, two, three, four, five pursuit plans, such as how to show her talent, erudition, wit and so on in an all-round way.

It is rare that there is a world where he can surpass Cao Chun in terms of knowledge, how could he not want to show off.

All males have the instinct to show off their gorgeous feathers, and Xia Anran is no exception, but this was disrupted by a few yellow soups yesterday.

He lifted the quilt, got out of bed, ran to wash his face, and then searched for things in the room.

Seeing him busy, Lu Xiaofeng wondered, "What are you looking for?"

"See if there's anything resembling a wattle."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't change his face, as if he didn't understand what it meant, "Why are you looking for Vitex? This is not the season."

"Of course it's an apology..." After wandering around for a few times, Xia Anran found a hemp rope that was used to bind wool. This, this seems to be okay, but it smells a bit...

He showed a tangled look, his brows were locked together.

"Pfft..." Lu Xiaofeng really couldn't help it now, he stood up and walked to Xia Anran's side, patted the young and thin shoulder, "Don't worry, really."

"Everyone is old man. You were drunk at that time. I was joking with you just now, and Bai Er wasn't angry. If he was angry, he wouldn't have carried you over from the Lu family's boat."

Xia Anran was taken aback, "Did the Second Young Master send me back?"

"Who else could it be?" Lu Xiaofeng had a half-smile, "You were holding on to someone back then, Brother Bai and I couldn't pull you down, so he simply came back with you in his arms."

Seeing that Xia Anran's complexion turned red and then pale, Lu Xiaofeng squinted his eyes, he looked at him calmly for a while, then waved his hand, "Don't make excuses, this boat doesn't have such conditions, it's so cold God, you might get Bai Er to heal you when you take off your little body."

"You, just relax, it's really nothing, get up and eat, I'm waiting for you."

Xia Anran nodded, feeling relieved, he smiled and cupped his hands, "Brother Lu, I'll tidy up a bit, and I'll go out later."

Lu Xiaofeng saw that the tortoise didn't plan to shrink back any more, and he was honored to have completed the task, so he nodded in [-] satisfaction. Thinking of yesterday's scene, he suddenly felt a little happy, and he said slowly that he would go out first, and headed towards the door go.

Just walking, he couldn't help humming.

Lu Xiaofeng's pentameter is incomplete, and he doesn't know the score, but Xia Anran is too familiar with this song, so familiar that he can sort it out from Lu Xiaofeng's absurd lyrics.

That's exactly—

Life is short for a few autumns~

Don't give up until you're drunk.

Where is my beauty in the east~

West Yellow River.

Come on, have a drink~

Don't give up until you're drunk.

Don't worry about troubles--

Xia Anran's hand holding the comb couldn't help exerting force, her breath fluttered, and she squeezed the handle of the comb abruptly.

"Lu! Xiao! Feng!"

That's right, what he sang to Bai Jinxi yesterday was the song "Love Jiangshan, Love Beauty More"

But yesterday, Bai Jinxi was sitting directly east of him.

In his fragmentary memories, he propped his chin up, held the wine glass with his index finger and thumb, sat obliquely at the round table and looked at Bai Jinxi, and sang this ditty amidst the booing voices.

Before the moon reached the mid-heaven, Bai Jinxi sat with his back to the moon, his whole expression was hidden in the moonlight, only vaguely, he seemed to see the corners of his lips curled up.

- Illusion.

It's good enough that he didn't break his legs, but he still expects his man to laugh at this kind of stranger's teasing...

Xia Anran walked towards the door with heavy steps.

He had to make it clear to Lu Xiaofeng that he didn't sing modal particles, let alone those rippling little waves!It is wrong for him to tamper with the lyrics like this!

The author has something to say: Xia Miao: Miuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~~~~ This is different from the script I wrote. (So ​​wronged that he curled up into a ball, even licking his fur couldn't hide his sadness)

Second Young Master Bai: Hmm... (covers face with white fur claws)
