The Peach Blossom in March

Zhu's Mansion is located in the south of the Yangtze River, passing through three small towns, and the journey will take at least ten and a half months.Considering that Zhu Qiqi was not at home because of Shen Lang's New Year's Eve, it was really hard work to chase all the way to Renyi Village.

Two days later, they arrived in Tongzhou and went to the Yuebin Building in the town.

Yuebinlou is an excellent restaurant, and it is also quite famous in the town. You can tell that this restaurant is not simple when you see how full the customers are.The three of them got out of the carriage and spent some money, and Xiao Er welcomed them into the building with a smile on his face as if they were ancestors.Entering the restaurant, Qi Sutao discovered that it was surprisingly spacious, with hundreds of guests sitting inside, but it was not yet full.

The combination of two girls and one child is relatively common. The three of them entered the restaurant and went upstairs without attracting anyone's attention.They found a table near the window and sat down, and the three of them asked Xiao Er to prepare some wine and food.

Glancing at the people around, Zhu Ba said softly: "There are so many people today."

Qi Sutao glanced at it but didn't pay much attention to it: "Isn't it a good thing to have more people?" A restaurant wants to be overcrowded. If there are no customers, then the restaurant should think about what is wrong with itself.

Zhu Qiqi rested her chin with one hand, and looked worried. It was only a few days since she left Luoyang, and she was already full of thoughts.Qi Sutao didn't need to guess and knew that she would do this because of Shen Lang, that young man who was as gentle as the moon and breeze was rooted in her heart after all, no matter how hard it was to get rid of.

"Your sister's unrequited love is a bit strong." Qi Sutao turned her head slightly, and said softly to Zhu Ba who was sitting beside her.

Zhu Ba glanced at Zhu Qiqi, and shook his head helplessly: "Don't mention it, since Seventh Sister met Brother Shen, she has followed like a demon. But, don't mention it, I, Zhu Ba, admire Brother Shen very much. If he is willing to be my Seventh Brother-in-law It's pretty good." Although he already has many powerful brothers-in-law, why would he have more than one brother-in-law?Besides, Shen Lang is probably the only one in this world who can treat his seventh sister.

Compared with Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Ba, Qi Sutao's understanding of Shen Lang is relatively one-sided, and it is even possible that this understanding is still wrong.After all, TV dramas are too deceitful.

"It seems that this Mr. Shen still holds a very high status in the hearts of your siblings." If Zhu Qiqi can't forget it, and Zhu Ba can praise him, Shen Lang must have something special. emmmmmmm, but in Qi Sutao's eyes, this excellence is probably only because the other party is the protagonist.

As a protagonist, you have to be different from them, right?The protagonist's halo and golden fingers are always on him.

Grandpa Gu Long's novels, she has only read Peerless Shuangjiao and The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng, and she hasn't finished reading one of the Legends of Lu Xiaofeng. If she knew that there would be a day when she would travel to the novel, she should have read the martial arts history together first. This procrastination is really It dragged so much that even she herself thought it was too much.

Xiao Er was very quick and served the dishes very quickly. After a while, all the dishes were served.

Before eating, Qi Sutao scooped up a bowl of soup for herself, Zhu Ba, and Zhu Qiqi. This is her eating habit, a bowl of soup before meals.What they called was a big bowl of black fish soup, which was delicious. "It smells so good. Come on, drink it and see if it's good or not." As he said that, he lowered his head and took a sip, and Qi Sutao squinted his eyes happily after just one sip: "Oh, it's delicious." It's really very good It's delicious, and there's nothing to say about this craftsmanship.

"Of course, the food and drinks at Yuebinlou are all excellent." Zhu Ba drank with relish.

Zhu Qiqi still didn't move her chopsticks, she was still looking out of the window, the light shone in and shone on her face, making her face half-bright.

"Qiqi." Seeing this, Qi Sutao called her.

Zhu Qiqi's mental state is not very good, even if he regained his composure and glanced sideways at Qi Sutao, he still looked listless.

Qi Sutao said: "It's time to eat."

Zhu Qiqi shook his head: "I can't eat any more." She had only been separated from Shen Lang for a few days, but she missed him more and more in her heart.

"If you can't eat, drink some soup. It's also good to pad your belly. Don't we have to hurry after eating?" Qi Sutao persuaded, this is also for Zhu Qiqi's good, and he will hurt himself if he doesn't eat.

Lovesickness can never be eaten as a meal.

Zhu Qiqi lowered his head and looked at the fish soup in front of him. For some reason, he thought of Shen Lang. His nose was sour, and tears welled up in his eyes, as if he was about to cry.

"Sister, don't cry." Zhu Bayi panicked when he saw Zhu Qiqi's appearance, he really didn't want to see Zhu Qiqi cry.

Looking at Zhu Qiqi who was about to cry, Qi Sutao finally understood why so many people always said that women are made of water.Isn't it?Zhu Qiqi must be water, or a pool of spring water with uncertain temperament, these tears fall as soon as they are said, there is no need to brew them.

"Are you going to cry after you've only been out for a few days?" At this moment, a chuckle sounded from behind Qi Sutao.

Zhu Qiqi raised his eyes and looked over, startled for a moment, then stood up from the bench, and then saw her rush towards the person who spoke: "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!! Shen Lang, that unconscionable Shen Lang bullied me... ..."

The person who hugged Zhu Qiqi was none other than the owner of this Yuebin Building, and also the third brother-in-law of Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Ba, this wealthy merchant of the Central Plains martial arts, Fan Fenyang known as "Tao Zhu on the Land".The shops opened by Fan Fenyang spread all over the provinces and counties in the north and south of the river, and his name is also well-known in the rivers and lakes.

Zhu Qiqi lay on Fan Fenyang's chest and wept. This was the first relative she saw besides Zhu Ba these days. She wished she could cry out all the grievances she had suffered these days.

Fan Fenyang patted Zhu Qiqi's back softly: "Yes! They all bully you, brother-in-law will vent your anger on you."

Being comforted, Zhu Qiqi wept even more wantonly.

Zhu Ba didn't expect to meet Fan Fenyang here, he thought that Fan Fenyang would at least stay in Zhu's residence, with his third sister. "Third brother-in-law." Zhu Ba walked over with a smile on his face.

Fan Fenyang glanced at Zhu Ba, with a trace of helplessness on his face: "You still know that I am your third brother-in-law, and you don't even say hello to your family when you come out, so you know that your third sister and your parents are dying of anxiety?" Here Father refers to Zhu Wanwan, the parents of Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Ba.

Zhu Ba embarrassedly scratched his head.

Qi Sutao also stood up, and she just stood there without saying a word, watching their family reunion with a little embarrassment.

Looking up at Qi Sutao, who was standing in front of the table and watching them quietly, with an embarrassed expression on his face, Fan Fenyang asked, "Who is this girl?"

Zhu Ba hurriedly left the place, came to Qi Sutao, dragged her to Fan Fenyang, and introduced: "Brother-in-law, this is Sister Taozi, she is my savior!"

"Savior?" Fan Fenyang stared at Qi Sutao, who looked normal, and suddenly nodded slightly at her: "Thank you, Miss, for your generous help."

Qi Sutao waved her hands in fear: "My lord, you are being polite, but it's just a little effort, not a helping hand."

"Brother-in-law, shall we go back?" Zhu Qiqi seemed to have finished crying, and looked up at Fan Fenyang.

"Brother-in-law will take you two home now."

"Sister Taozi is here!" Zhu Ba held Qi Sutao's hand tightly.

Zhu Qiqi nodded: "Yes, there is also Little Taozi."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Ba cared so much about Qi Sutao, Fan Fenyang was a little surprised, but there are very few people who can make these two ancestors care.

"Let's eat first. After eating, my brother-in-law will bring you and this one..." Fan Fenyang paused for a while without knowing Qi Sutao's name, then looked at Qi Sutao and said, "Fan Fenyang, Qiqi and Xiaoba's third brother-in-law."

"Qi Sutao." Simple and clear introduction.

Fan Fenyang smiled at Qi Sutao, indicating that she didn't need to be so cautious, then he held Zhu Qiqi's shoulders and led her to sit at the table first.With Fan Fenyang around, Zhu Qiqi's mood was obviously much better, she could eat, and Zhu Ba began to talk to Fan Fenyang about his being harmed by the flower pistil fairy.

After hearing Zhu Ba's words, Fan Fenyang's expression changed. Compared with his gentle expression just now, it was almost a layer of frost.He is not bad-looking, and he is also a handsome young man. When he smiles, the corners of his lips are slightly curved, which is a bit charming.It's just that when he got a little angry with such a demeanor, he obviously felt a gloomy and cold look, just like now.

"Hua Rui Xian..." Saying this name lightly, it sounds meaningless, but if you look carefully, you can find that it is another dead person's name.

Yes, Fan Fenyang no longer regarded Huaruixian as a living person, he regarded her as a dead person.

If one day, Huarui Fairy reappears, Zhu Mansion will no longer protect this person.

Qi Sutao didn't speak all the time, she quietly listened to the three of them talking and ate her meal quietly.One thing Qi Sutao is quite good at is that when she wants to make herself non-existent, she can make herself completely non-existent.

Like now.

When Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Ba thought of Qi Sutao, she had already supported half of her face with one hand, her eyes were half closed, and she was in a drowsy posture.

Zhu Ba: "..."

Zhu Qiqi: "..."

It was a bit embarrassing to change to Fan Fenyang this time. I actually forgot that there was still a guest by my side, and had been chatting happily with the Zhu family siblings all the time, as if excluding her, which was really rude.

"Sister Taozi." Zhu Ba gently pushed Qi Sutao.

Qi Sutao, who had half-closed her eyes, immediately opened them: "Are you leaving?" If you are full, you will feel drowsy, especially now that it is winter, it is easier to get drowsy, just like a snake about to enter hibernation.

"Little Taozi, are you sleepy?" Zhu Qiqi asked with concern.

Qi Sutao nodded: "It's a bit."

"Why don't we rest in Yuebin Building for a day today and hurry tomorrow?" Zhu Qiqi looked at Fan Fenyang when he said this.

Fan Fenyang nodded: "Alright, the return trip is long, so let's take a rest in Yuebinlou for a day today, recharge your spirits, and go on your way tomorrow."

Qi Sutao was so sleepy that they could do whatever they wanted, as long as they could sleep anyway.

Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Ba got up, came to Qi Sutao, and helped her go to the guest room at the back of Yuebin Building to rest.As the owner of Yuebin Building, Fan Fenyang asked the shopkeeper to prepare the best room for Zhu Qiqi and the three of them to stay in.The best room in the Yuebin Building is on the south side of the backyard. It is a large guest room with everything you need, even charcoal fire is available all day, and it is warm as soon as you enter.

Qi Sutao slept for a whole day, and when she woke up, it was dark, and Zhu Ba and Zhu Qiqi were sleeping next to her, one using her leg as a pillow, and the other pressing her leg firmly on her stomach.

Qi Sutao: "..." The sleeping appearance of the siblings is no different.

He moved Zhu Qiqi's leg to the side, and then pulled his own leg out of Zhu Ba's hand, each time being careful, for fear of waking up the siblings.

Getting out of bed, putting on the down jacket hanging on the screen, putting on snow boots, Qi Sutao came outside the guest room.

Outside the guest room, except for the strong wind, the snow did not fall.

Qi Sutao was born in the south, where it rarely snows. In Qi Sutao's 19 years of life, her hometown has had two snowfalls.One time was when she was in the second year of junior high school. That day happened to be the eve of New Year's Day, and the snow fell so hard that the school called to inform them that classes were suspended.The second time was in her sophomore year of high school, before the Spring Festival, she also had a lot of classes, but that time there was no suspension of classes, and those hard-working high school party members went to school as usual.

On the way to school by bicycle, I was using my life to explain what bicycle skiing is.

It was very hard.

The city of the ancient capital is bustling like brocade. Even in the backyard of the inn, she can see how lively the street market is outside. This kind of prosperity is quite different from the modern prosperity.

If she just came here for tourism, she would be very happy, but now... Even though the scenery is prosperous, she doesn't feel any joy at all.

"Huh." He took a breath, exhaled snow-white air, and slightly warmed his slightly cold hands.

"It's so late, why did Miss Qi get up?"
