If yes

Chapter 3.Enchanting red plum

Zheng Jingchi was satisfied with Li Yi's humility, and immediately smiled and signaled Li Yi to take his seat first, "Mr. Li, please sit down, my daughter will come out to meet guests soon."

Li Yi nodded flattered and sat down on the second wooden chair on the left. Seeing that Zheng Jingchi only called him to sit down, the other four princes glanced at Li Yi hostilely.

Li Yi was sitting upright, bowed to the other young masters apologetically, then bowed his head and said nothing more.

Zheng Jingchi knew that he had neglected the others, so he said with a smile: "Sirs, hurry up and take your seats."

"Okay!" Wang Yongdang, the nephew of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, sat down on the first wooden chair on the right, raised his head, and glanced contemptuously at Qin Sheng, the second son of the Zhongshu Ling family who was sitting opposite.

Qin Sheng glanced at him coldly, and then looked suspiciously at the two young masters sitting beside him. They were ordinary in appearance, but burly in stature, and seemed to be martial arts practitioners.Looking closely at their attire, there is nothing special about them, except that they both have a waist card with a Chinese character "cloud" clearly engraved on it.

None of the officials above the third grade in Chang'an was surnamed Yun, and there was no one surnamed Yun among the famous people in Chang'an City. Qin Sheng was puzzled as to the origin of these two people.

Zheng Jingchi ordered the maidservants to serve tea to the young masters, looked at the two young masters, and asked with a smile: "You two young masters just stared at each other, I don't know..."

One of the sons clasped his fists and said with a smile: "My second brother and I are both lieutenants under General Yunhui of Shangzhou. My name is Yunfei, and my second brother's name is Yunyang. I have heard for a long time that Miss Huo is unparalleled in talent and appearance. Order, come to Chang'an to invite Miss Huo to perform in Shangzhou."

"General Yunhui of Shangzhou..." Qin Sheng and Wang Yong looked at each other in astonishment, and thought of the same person, General Yunhui from the third rank, and Yun Wanxiao, the sick child.

It's no wonder that these two little lieutenants were able to pass the test of being a pair - everyone around Yun Wanxiao is always unexpected, because this Yun Wanxiao is also an unexpected and strange person.

Yun Wanxiao has been weak and sick since she was a child, and the old general Yunhui's visits to famous doctors were all in vain. She could only listen to what a nunnery teacher said, and took the only son as a daughter to foster in the nunnery for 16 years, hoping that he would be protected by the Buddha and have an early health. Get tougher, and live a safe and healthy life.However, before Yun Wanxiao returned at the age of 16, the old General Yunhui followed General Guo Ziyi to start the battle to recover the two capitals, and unfortunately died in the battle.

The imperial court thought about the loyalty of the old General Yunhui to serve the country, and granted the only Miao of the Yun family to inherit his father's position and continue to follow Guo Ziyi to recover the two capitals.Everyone thought that this sick young man would die young because of the bitter cold on the battlefield, his body was unwell, but they didn't expect him to calmly command three thousand soldiers under his command to break through the main road of Tongguan, like a sharp knife, severely injuring the rebels.

Later, the two capitals were recovered, and the imperial court rewarded him for his meritorious service. If it wasn't because of his frail body, he would have recruited this young hero as his son-in-law. Why would he only reward him with a thousand gold and order him to leave the capital and continue guarding Shangzhou?

But it is strange to say that this General Yun is now 22 years old, and he has been single and never married. He lives in the general's mansion and rarely goes out.Everyone in Shangzhou couldn't help guessing secretly, could it be because of the 16 years of life in the nunnery that the young master changed his temper, not only his appearance was feminine, but he also didn't even touch women.

How could he, who is hundreds of miles away and not good at women, suddenly send his lieutenant to invite Huo Xiaoyu to perform at the Qili Fireworks Lane in Chang'an?

Qin Sheng and Wang Yong looked at each other, feeling full of doubts, but they couldn't figure out what this General Yunhui was thinking.

Zheng Jingchi had also heard some stories about Yun Wanxiao on weekdays, so he sighed secretly. It's a pity that Mr. Yun was born in the general family, and he was weak and sick. The world is not peaceful now. Generals often die in battle. If Xiaoyu married Without this person, I am afraid that he will end up alone for half his life.

Now that the two lieutenants have spoken, I should have expressed something, but how can I politely refuse, so as to keep Xiaoyu from leaving Chang'an and let General Yun feel at ease?

Zheng Jingchi frowned slightly, and thought carefully about what to say, when suddenly he heard singing coming from upstairs, Zheng Jingchi knew that Xiaoyu must have come down to meet the guests, so he followed the sound to the end of the small building, intending to pass Xiaoyu a It's okay to wink and pretend to be unwell.

"Last night, the flowers in the mirror, the water in the water and the moon were cold. Today I ask you if the spring is warm?"

A pink and tender jade foot stepped down the first step. I didn't see the person, I heard the song first, and then I saw the foot. It's still this lovely golden lotus that can't wait for shoes and socks——

It was not only the five young masters in the hall who were surprised, but also Zheng Jingchi who stared in shock.

Even young men who only sell their art but not their bodies should know that women from good families should not expose their bare feet to others, otherwise, they will really be no different from those prostitutes who sell their bodies in halls.

"Xiaoyu!" Zheng Jing hurriedly walked upstairs holding her skirt, but it was too late to stop Xiaoyu, who was smiling like a peach blossom at the moment, from appearing in front of the young masters.

A little plum blossom blooms between her eyebrows, her bewitching eyebrows are flying, her vermilion lips are red, her spring eyes are still charming, and she throws a wink towards the hall, like a dazzling red meteor hitting every young man's face fiercely. In the bottom of my heart, a fiery palpitation aroused.

The snow-white tube top was dotted with a few scarlet plum blossoms, and a fiery red gauze vaguely covered her jade-like snow-like arms.It stands to reason that the red plum in the snow should be arrogant, but this red plum makeup made her wear a special charm, not like a fairy, not like a witch, and three points better than a fairy.

"Mother, don't worry, since the young masters are all high-ranking officials today, Xiaoyu should take care of them, and there will be returning benefactors in the future." Huo Xiaoyu comforted Zheng Jingchi while helping her walk down the stairs. Come on, the smiling eyes swept across the young masters one by one, like a spring breeze in March, stirring the swaying willow silk in everyone's heart, making it itchy.

Zheng Jingchi frowned, sure enough what Xuer said was right, today's Xiaoyu was indeed haunted by a nightmare, not at all the elegant Xiaoyu yesterday!

"Miss Xiaoyu is so beautiful!" Wang Yong's abrupt exclamation brought everyone's attention back to the present moment.

Qin Sheng only felt his heart beating violently, and suddenly he was tongue-tied, not knowing how to speak the first sentence to her.

Li Yi restrained his flustered mind, bowed respectfully to Huo Xiaoyu, and said, "Miss Xiaoyu is really like a plum blossom fairy descending from the sky, Xiaosheng..."

Familiar voice, same face, why everything in the dream is still replaying in front of my eyes?

Can't... can't repeat the same mistakes...

Huo Xiaoyu felt that her heart was being pinched, and she forced a smile to look at Li Yi—his gaze was so open at the moment, but it's a pity that he is a ruthless person after all!

Li Yi was a bit uncomfortable being seen by her, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only stand still, waiting for Huo Xiaoyu to speak before responding.

Zheng Jingchi saw Xiaoyu's actions in his eyes, and couldn't help but wondered: "It's strange, why does Xiaoyu look at him as if he knows him?"

"Hehe, fairies in the sky will not come to this kind of fireworks and willow alley." Huo Xiaoyu said with a hint of irony in his words, "'After ten years of chaos, we will meet again when we grow up.' To write such a tragic A person of poetry and prose who mourns the country and the people should share the worries of the king in the court at this moment, why come to this fireworks and willow alley to have fun?"

Li Yi suddenly heard Huo Xiaoyu recite his own poem. He was originally happy, but when he heard what she said later, he seemed to have fallen into a cellar of ice. ..."

"Although Xiaoyu is not talented, I have heard a saying that writing is like a person." Although the smile on Huo Xiaoyu's face remained the same, there was obviously a hint of contempt, and Li Yi was not allowed to continue, "It seems that Mr. Li's writing is a One set of principles, and another set of principles for being a human being, Xiaoyu can learn from it today."

"I..." Li Yi knew that if he continued, he would only increase the humiliation, so he cupped his hands unwillingly and made a bow to Huo Xiaoyu, "Miss Xiaoyu is right, it is indeed that Xiaosheng's words and deeds are wrong, so I will leave, and another day Revisit."

"Wait." Huo Xiaoyu stood up straight, and said with a sneer, "Mr. Li, do you think my Xiangying Xiaozhu is a place where you can come and go whenever you want?"

"Miss Xiaoyu, I don't know where Xiaosheng has offended the girl, and today I have repeatedly..."

"Li Yi, you were the one who was offensive, Miss Huo, and now Miss Huo has ordered you to leave. You just have to leave. Do you still want to play tricks here?" Wang Yong shouted angrily, interrupting what Li Yi was about to say, He stepped forward and grabbed Li Yi's skirt, and wanted to punch Li Yi in the face.

"Stop!" Qin Sheng hastily grabbed Wang Yong's fist, his eyes slanted towards Huo Xiaoyu, "Don't scare Miss Huo!"

Wang Yong pushed Li Yi away, glared at Li Yi viciously, raised his fist, and signaled that if he didn't leave, he would teach him a serious lesson.

"Master Li, I don't want to see you here again from now on, can you hear me clearly?" Huo Xiaoyu said coldly, the smile on his face was gone.

The grievances that had spread from last night's nightmare to the present were completely released at this moment. Huo Xiaoyu held back the tears in her eyes, and hurriedly turned her back, fearing that others would see her inexplicable tears.

"Thank you, Ms. Huo, for your teaching!" Li Yi brushed his sleeves angrily, and walked out of Xiangying Xiaozhu with a livid face.

"Li... Xiaoyu, what happened to you today?" Zheng Jingchi felt that the daughter beside him was very strange, as if she had become another person, with stabs all over her body and a knife in every sentence.

A relieved smile appeared on the corner of Huo Xiaoyu's mouth, and she said softly: "Mother, some people look like gentlemen, but they are actually villains. We'd better stay away from such hypocrites."

"Well said!" Yun Yang, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help clapping his hands and praised, "No wonder the general invited you to perform in Shangzhou by name. We really admire Miss Huo's determination."

"Shangzhou performance?" Huo Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Zheng Jingchi in astonishment, "Mother?"

Zheng Jingchi calmed down, and said seriously: "My Xiaoyu is just a young man. If he leaves Xiaozhu with the two generals and goes to Shangzhou, this festival..." As he spoke, he gave Qin Sheng a wink , "So, I ask the two generals to think more about this matter for the little girl."

"This..." Yun Fei pondered for a while, and it was true.

Qin Sheng understood Zheng Jingchi's meaning, and immediately said: "That's right, Miss Huo is an innocent woman, how can she go to Shangzhou with you two men? Besides, if the invitation is really sincere, he Yun Wanxiao should also come in person , sending two reckless men to take Miss Huo to Shangzhou, this is too abrupt!"

"Second Master Qin, you..." Yun Fei heard it harshly, and was about to explode when he suddenly heard Huo Xiaoyu ask.

"May I ask the general, if I am willing to perform in Shangzhou, how much money will I get?"

Zheng Jingchi was startled, hurriedly tugged at Huo Xiaoyu's sleeve, and squeezed his eyes, "Xiaoyu, let mother handle this matter."

Yun Yang patted his chest and said: "The general said, as long as Miss Huo can be invited, Miss Huo can say as much as she wants."

"Okay! It's a deal!" Huo Xiaoyu said categorically, and looked at Zheng Jingchi, who had an extremely ugly face beside him, "It's just the Women's Name Duty Festival. I can go to Shangzhou, but I must bring my mother along with me."

"Okay." Yun Fei nodded heavily, "Then my second brother and I will go to prepare the carriage first, and we will come to pick up Miss Huo and his wife early tomorrow morning."

"En." Huo Xiaoyu nodded with a smile.

"Farewell." With smiles on their faces, Yunfei and Yunyang cupped their fists and bowed to Huo Xiaoyu, then turned and left Xiaozhu.

Zheng Jingchi looked at Xiaoyu worriedly, not knowing what was going on in her daughter's mind, if Xiaoyu spread any bad rumors because of this incident, it would be even more difficult if she wanted to find a good home.

Huo Xiaoyu pretended not to see Zheng Jingchi's gaze, and smiled at the rest of Qin Sheng and Wang Yongdao: "Since the two young masters are the guests of my Xiangying Xiaozhu today, Xiaoyu will give the two young masters a gift first." dance."

"Okay!" Wang Yong clapped his hands excitedly and laughed, his enthusiastic eyes kept patrolling her face, he took out an ingot of silver from his bosom, and put it on the case table, "If the dance is good, my lord Reward!"

"Xiaoyu, thank you first, son." Huo Xiaoyu bowed, lightly twirled her blue fingers, and the red gauze was fluttering, like a red plum blossom petals, so red that it was enchanting and intoxicating.

Qin Sheng looked at Huo Xiaoyu's wonderful figure with great interest, and said with a sinister smile, "So she's just a woman who loves money, Huo Xiaoyu, sooner or later you'll be in my pocket!"

"Ah..." How could Zheng Jingchi not be able to see through the deep meaning in the evil eyes of the two young masters in front of him? Once Xiaoyu did this, how many people would be able to say the word "respect" to their mother and daughter in the future?
