Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

Maybe it's because Kunlun's geographical location is too remote and commerce is not well developed. No matter whether it is on the mountain or below the mountain, there has never been a place like Hualou that only appears in the scriptures.It was the first time for Lin Rufei to encounter such an invitation. Although she felt a little inappropriate in her heart, she was still very curious about it.

Seeing Lin Rufei's hesitation, Meng Lanruo lowered his voice and explained, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, the Luochun Building is very clean, and the girls inside are also proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not the kind who make skin and flesh." Dirty place to do business.

"Besides, let's just go and have a look, and don't do anything bad." Meng Lanruo looked at Lin Rufei anxiously, hoping that he would accept her invitation, "The night is long, it would be so boring if we stayed at home."

Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, and still accepted Meng Langruo's invitation.

Seeing this, Meng Lanruo cheered happily, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I'll pick you up later, let's go there in a carriage together!"

Lin Rufei said hello.

Only then did Meng Langruo leave happily.

As soon as he left, Gu Xuan, who had been standing beside Lin Rufei just now, opened his mouth quietly. For some reason, there was a bit of resentment in his voice, and he said, "Why is Xiaojiu interested in Hualou? The place is boring."

Lin Rufei grasped the key point: "Senior often go?"

Gu Xuandu calmly said: "I've been there once or twice, it's not interesting."

Lin Rufei said: "It's just that I've never seen it before, so I'm a little curious."

Gu Xuandu gritted his teeth and said, "They're all vulgar fans, nothing to look at."

Listening to Gu Xuandu's words, Lin Rufei couldn't help showing a smile, and joked: "Compared to the appearance of the seniors, the others are indeed some vulgar fans."

Gu Xuandu's expression changed after being praised for his appearance, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he snorted coldly, swept his long sleeves, and his figure faded away.Lin Rufei was dumbfounded, he felt as if he had offended Gu Xuandu with a certain sentence, but which sentence was it...

At night, the city of Xinzhou is very lively.

On the Canglan River, several huge and gorgeous flower boats sailed on it. Standing on the shore, you can hear the music of silk and bamboo, and smell the fragrance of cosmetics.Countless beautifully dressed women, standing or sitting, smiling sweetly, are really fascinating scenery.

Lin Rufei was on the biggest flower boat.

Meng Langruo is already a regular visitor here, the old mother who still has charm saw him, her smiling eyes were narrowed into a line, she twisted her waist and warmly welcomed him in, and looked at Meng Langruo's body from the corner of her eye. Standing sideways, the handsome young man dressed in white and described as thin, probably saw something, and his smile became more eager: "Yo - this young man is really handsome, why haven't I seen it before."

"It's a distinguished guest from our family, I'll take him out to play." Meng Lanruo said with a smile, "When will Xiao Yu appear today?"

"The third one comes out, and I hope Mr. Meng will join us." The old mother smiled and led them into a spacious private room with screens around the private room, which is very private and can be seen most clearly. See the stage.

Meng Lanruo took out something from her bosom, handed it to the old mother casually, and said, "Take some silk flowers, and the rest will be your reward."

The old mother hurriedly nodded in agreement, holding the things Meng Langruo gave her in both hands and went down respectfully.

Lin Rufei noticed that what Meng Lanruo handed over was a high-quality spirit stone, which is a rare commodity even in the fairyland, let alone in the mortal world. It seems that the Meng family is indeed a great family , this kind of thing, in Meng Lanruo's hands, is actually just a small thing to reward the oiran.

"These silk flowers are votes for the oirans on the stage." Meng Lanruo explained with a smile, "The more silk flowers, the higher the votes. The girl who gets the most is the oiran tonight."

Lin Rufei said: "Do you often come to play?"

Meng Lanruo scratched her head: "I'm strictly controlled at home, and I'm not allowed to leave Xinzhou City, so I often come to have some fun by myself... Is... not a regular visitor?"

Obviously, when he said the latter, even he felt a little guilty.Lin Rufei just laughed when she heard the words, and didn't care too much about him.The guests on this flower boat are indeed looking for fun. Before the oiran contest starts, they can see people throwing pots, playing dice, and there are countless ways to have fun.

Meng Lanruo ordered two pots of good wine and some side dishes, and wanted to order another pot of hot tea for Lin Rufei, but Lin Rufei declined his offer, saying that coming here to drink tea is always a bit disappointing, although he can't Too much to drink, but a drink or two is fine.

It's better if it's like this, Meng Lanruo toasted Lin Rufei first.

The wine is newly brewed plum wine, slightly sweet in the mouth and lingering in the aftertaste, with freshly picked peach petals floating on it, making it more elegant.

Lin Rufei drank a cup, but remembered a certain Peach Blossom Fairy who was still sulking, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Seeing Lin Rufei's smile, Meng Lanruo asked, "Who is Mr. Lin thinking of?"

Lin Rufei said: "What?"

"No, it seems that you have never seen such a smile on your face." Meng Langruo propped her chin and looked at Lin Rufei, "How should I put it..." It seems that although Lin Rufei's usual smile is gentle and warm, it brings There was an inexplicable sense of alienation, but the smile in front of him was a little playful, making it a little more popular.

Lin Rufei shook her head, smiled without saying a word.

Meng Lanruo didn't delve into it either, holding the glass of wine, curiously asked Lin Rufei how long it had been since she left Kunlun, what happened along the way, and where she planned to go next.

Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment, but she still didn't mention Xie's family. She just chatted a few words about the dragons on the Canglan River, and said that she might go down the Canglan River, cross Xiqiu Mountain, and head to the Central Plains.

After hearing this, Meng Lanruo revealed envy without concealment, touched the sword hanging on her waist, and murmured: "I really envy Mr. Lin..."

Lin Rufei wondered, "What do you envy me for?"

Meng Lanruo said: "I also want to be like Mr. Lin, with a sword in the air, and travel thousands of miles." He said listlessly, "But my parents will not allow me to go out, saying that they are afraid that I will be cheated if I go out for three days because of my temperament. Underpants."

To some extent, Lin Rufei's situation is very similar to that of Meng Langruo. For a long time, he also longed to leave Kunlun Mountain and travel down the mountain like his older brothers and sisters. Rufei suddenly realized that she would never have such a chance for her weak self.

He can pester his brothers and sisters, and according to their pampering temperament, he will accept this unreasonable request, but he can't even lift a sword, even if he enters the rivers and lakes, he will only cause trouble for them That's all.Lin Rufei has always been transparent. After thinking about certain things, he completely let go of his obsession with leaving Kunlun.

Fortunately, now, he has his own opportunity.

"Maybe you are too young now, and your parents will agree in a few years." Lin Rufei comforted Meng Langruo.

But Meng Lanruo shook her head, and said dejectedly that no one knew his mother better than him, and as long as his mother was alive, he would not be able to leave Xinzhou city for half a step.

Lin Rufei didn't respond, but felt that Meng Langruo might be exaggerating.Seeing how their family dotes on him, if he is really determined to venture into the rivers and lakes, his family probably won't take action to stop him.

At least at this moment, Lin Rufei thinks so.

On the stage, the sound of plucking the strings sounded, and several dancers floated over and began to dance to the sound.

Meng Langruo swept away the decadence just now, regained her spirits, stared at the girl walking slowly on the stage with piercing eyes, and enthusiastically introduced her favorite Xiao Yu to Lin Rufei.

"Xiao Yu is the most distinctive girl I have ever met. Not only is she good-looking, she is also proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is even good at dancing swords." Meng Lanruo said, "Although her swordsmanship is not as good as She is a swordsman, but she is already much stronger than most mortals... If Qi Yansheng does not use sword energy to compete with her, it may not be who wins."

Lin Rufei was a little interested: "Really?"

"Of course it is true." Meng Lanruo said seriously.

Expensive silk flowers were thrown onto the stage one by one along with the cheers, and the atmosphere on the flower boat gradually became warmer. The girls all performed well tonight, and the silk flowers, which were worth the same price as gold, were almost never broken. The benefactors of the night all want to send their beloved girls to the position of oiran.

Meng Lanruo handed the silk flowers on the table to Lin Rufei, and then called the old mother to take out a few baskets of spirit stones, which seemed like a waste of money.

Lin Rufei is not sensitive to money. The maids are all in charge of food and clothing at home, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all. If he didn't often go down the mountain to steal some snacks, he might never have seen money.

"Here we come, Xiao Yu is here." Meng Lanruo said excitedly with her eyes wide open.

On the stage, a soft and beautiful woman walked up slowly, dressed in a long skirt, holding double swords tied with red silk.Facing the guests under the stage, she squatted halfway, and then she saluted. After she smiled, the music sounded.

The moment the sword was raised, the woman's temperament changed instantly. The sword was like a white rainbow, and the red silk was like blood. The woman's bare feet stepped on the drums, tossing and turning on the stage, as if she was shocked.Jian Guang is cold and hard, but she is wearing a pink dress, extremely soft and beautiful. This contrast of rigidity and softness makes this sword dance even more fascinating.

The woman twisted her waist, threw out the red silk at the end of the sword, raised her hand again, and waved the sword energy of Gangfeng.The drumming gradually stopped, and her dance also slowed down, and finally stopped on the stage, her chest heaved slightly, and she smiled softly towards Meng Langruo's box.

The benefactors cheered loudly and offered rewards, and the silk flowers were thrown on the stage as if they didn't want money. Meng Lanruo walked out of the box directly, and spilled all the two baskets of silk flowers in her arms.

One after another, the silk flowers fell on Xiao Yu's head and shoulders like snow. When she saw Meng Langruo, she looked back and smiled slightly. She saluted slowly and left the stage.

"Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it beautiful!!" Meng Lanruo returned to the private room after seeing Xiao Yu leave, jumping up and down excitedly, like a dull-headed young man who came to Luochun Tower for the first time, "I have never seen such a beautiful woman before." Sword Dance!"

Lin Rufei smiled and said: "It's not bad." It was indeed beautiful, and it looked like dancing with a sword.

"It's a pity..." Meng Langruo's interest suddenly faded, "I wanted to redeem her, but she refused."

Lin Rufei didn't know much about these things, so she just listened.

Meng Lanruo said: "It's fine if she doesn't like me, but I think she likes me." After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and drank the wine in his glass.

The two of them were talking, when the owner who was talking came in from the outside, with a plate of freshly cut fruits in his hand, looked at the two people in the private room with a smile, and called out softly: " Lanruo..."

Meng Lanruo paused, looked back immediately, and said eagerly, "Xiao Yu!"

"Why didn't you call me when you came here?" Xiaoyu scolded, "When I danced my sword, I was still looking around looking for you."

Meng Lanruo said, "Didn't I want to surprise you?"

The two were in love with each other, and Lin Rufei who was sitting on the side became the redundant one. Fortunately, Meng Langruo quickly reacted and said, "Xiao Yu, this is my new friend Mr. Lin. Very good, in your flower building, is there any gentle and beautiful girl, please call for Mr. Lin."

"Okay." Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Mr. Lin is so handsome, it's really cheap for those girls!"

Lin Rufei didn't refuse. Since they all came here, although he didn't have any other plans, he still couldn't let Meng Langruo worry about his friend while being gentle.

The girl called Xiaoyu soon came, she was described as soft and beautiful, her name was Wanyi, and she was said to be very good at playing the piano.

The beauty of a gentleman, Lin Rufei has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs running away. Meng Langruo and that little Yu girl were just mixing oil with honey. Helping her into another room, only Wan Yi and Lin Rufei were left playing the piano with their heads bowed.

Wan Yi seemed a little shy, she didn't talk much until Xiao Yu and Meng Langruo left, and then chatted with Lin Rufei intermittently.

Lin Rufei drank plum wine and chatted with Wan Yi.

Wan Yi finished talking about a song, and seeing that Lin Rufei didn't seem to be ready for the next song, she got up and lit the incense placed on the side of the piano. The fragrance was clear, but Lin Rufei felt a little familiar, and asked, "What is this?" What kind of fragrance is it?"

"It's incense made from unicorn grass, which has the effect of calming the nerves." Wan Yi said softly, "If you don't like it, Wan Yi will put it out."

"No need, let's light it." Lin Rufei didn't hate the smell of the Kirin grass. He slid his fingers over the rim of the cup and said, "How long have you been here?"

Wan Yi replied: "Almost three years.

Lin Rufei said, "Where's Xiao Yu?"

Wan Yi hesitated for a moment before answering Lin Rufei's question. She said, "Sister Xiaoyu came late, but it has been a year. Sister Xiaoyu is very powerful. When she comes here, she is the oiran..."

Lin Rufei said, "Oh."

Wan Yi smiled: "Young Master, is there any song you want to hear?"

Lin Rufei shook his head, indicating no, he felt a little tired, but seeing that Meng Langruo had no intention of leaving and he couldn't leave first, he waved his hand at Wan Yi and said, "Go out first, I want to rest for a while."

Wan Yi was slightly surprised when she heard the words, bit her lower lip and said, "But if you go out like this, you will be scolded by your mother..."

Lin Rufei frowned slightly, took out a spirit stone from her cuff, and handed it to her: "Go."

Wan Yi hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything, took the Lingshi, bowed to Lin Rufei, and backed out.

Lin Rufei was the only one left in the house.

Lin Rufei was a little bored, looked around, but still couldn't see Gu Xuandu's figure, he sighed slightly in his heart, it was a little funny, he was really narrow-minded when thinking about his senior.

The furnishings in the room are very particular, with a lot of fabrics such as veils, and the light is also very dim, which is an atmosphere that is easy to make people emotional.White smoke came out from the incense burner that was lit on the table, bringing the unique aroma of the goldenrod. Beside the incense burner, there was a plate of exquisite snacks, which came in various shapes and were very beautifully made.

Lin Rufei happened to be a little hungry, so she twisted a piece and put it in her mouth.It tasted like mung bean cake. It was a bit too sweet. He didn't like it, but the taste was not bad, so he ate it slowly.

There was still half a jug of plum wine left, so Lin Rufei had nothing to do, so she drank it with the crispy beans.

Drunkenness welled up, and Lin Rufei's pale cheeks were blush, and those eyes, which were lighter than ordinary people, were not as clear as usual, but slightly drunk.Probably because he drank too much, and his chest felt itchy again. Lin Rufei covered his mouth and coughed a few times in a low voice. He suppressed his cough with tea, got up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside.

The window in the house is facing the river, the lights are dim, like a galaxy, the river water is slapping on the side of the boat layer by layer, and the sound of the tide is endless.

However, Lin Rufei felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable. Something was burning inside his body, going out along the viscera, and burning to his skin.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Suddenly, when the heat wave came, Lin Rufei coughed heavily, and his consciousness began to blur. He felt that his body was beginning to lose control, and he fell down on the bed so softly. A red shadow seemed to appear, but as the consciousness faded away, Lin Rufei didn't know anything.

Gu Xuandu looked at Lin Rufei who was lying on the bed expressionlessly.He was lying on the soft bed, his face was not as pale as it used to be, but turned pink. Looking down, he found that not only his cheeks turned pink, but also his neck.Although he couldn't see the situation under the neck, he still knew what the appearance of the body tightly wrapped in clothes looked like.

Sometimes, being protected too well is not a good thing, because unknowingly, you do something you shouldn't do.

In this flower building, there are naturally exquisite things.

Wine can be drunk, and snacks can also be eaten, but if the two are combined, there will be some unspeakable effects.For ordinary people, this kind of effect may only add to the fun a little, but Lin Rufei's body is weak, and just a little bit made him look like this.

Gu Xuandu's eyes darkened when he looked at Lin Rufei, and his Adam's apple moved up and down almost invisible, as if he was restraining something.

The river wind was bitter at night, Gu Xuandu raised his hand and closed the window, blocking the dim light outside the window.

The next moment, Gu Xuandu extinguished the candles in the house, and everything became dark.

The room was silent, only the sound of Lin Rufei's slightly rapid breathing remained.

Lin Rufei woke up after dawn. After waking up, he was covered with a thick blanket. He sat up from the bed in a daze, and saw Gu Xuandu sitting at the table.

Gu Xuan heard that he woke up and didn't look back.

"Senior." Lin Rufei called out.

Gu Xuandu said: "Are you awake?"

Lin Rufei said, "Hmm..." He rubbed his aching head, and said in a low voice, "Why did I suddenly fall asleep yesterday."

"There are some things in the snacks and wine in the flower building, and you have a big reaction after eating it." Gu Xuandu said, "I just passed out."

Lin Rufei let out a little embarrassment, and looked at Gu Xuandu: "Senior... have you guarded by the bed all night?"

Gu Xuan didn't even speak.

But sometimes silence is the answer. Lin Rufei was a little guilty at the moment, and was about to apologize, but saw Gu Xuan raised his hand and made a stop gesture, then got up suddenly, walked in front of him, bent down, and was almost about to touch him. The tips of the noses touched, and the face was as cold as ice: "You are not allowed to come to this place again in the future. If you want to watch the sword dance, I will dance. If you want to hear the music, I will play. In short, there will be no next time."

Lin Rufei was stunned.

However, Gu Xuandu urged him a little impatiently: "Did you hear that?"

"I heard." Lin Rufei said obediently.

I don't know if Gu Xuandu's tone was too dangerous, but Lin Rufei didn't have the slightest thought of refuting.

"Very good." Gu Xuandu nodded, then straightened up, and said casually, "After all, next time, I can't guarantee what will happen." After all, he was unwilling, his cheeks were flushed, his breath was short, and he was defenseless. Gu Xuan didn't want to see Cai Jie's appearance a second time, not because he was worried that he would be hurt by others, but because he was worried that the person who hurt him was himself.

Gu Xuan endured it once, but he can't guarantee that he can endure it a second time.

However, Lin Rufei misunderstood what Gu Xuandu meant. After all, she got tricked out of nowhere while visiting the Flower House, and she was indeed a little embarrassed. Besides, a senior like Gu Xuandu should have disdain for such behavior.

Lin Rufei sighed slightly in her heart, and after simply washing up, she went to find Meng Langruo.

Meng Lanruo didn't see Xiao Yu in the house, but when she saw Lin Rufei coming, she asked him with a smile how he was resting last night.

Lin Rufei shook her head and said that she still didn't like these places very much. Meng Lanruo didn't mind, but said: "Yes, I feel that you are not used to it. Let's go to some elegant places next time. Let's go. Go back to the house."

Lin Rufei said yes.

It's just that when he left, he also smelled the fragrance of the goldenrod in this room, and he was a little strange at the moment, so he asked Meng Lan if this kind of incense was especially popular in Xinzhou

"That's right." Meng Lanruo said, "It's very popular. It's available everywhere. My mother likes it too. There are quite a few grown at home." He yawned, "I'm so tired..."

Lin Rufei said, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Meng Lanruo scratched her head: "Not bad."

Lin Rufei said, "Where's Xiao Yu?"

Meng Lanruo said, "Xiao Yu? She left early... What's wrong?"

Lin Rufei wondered, "Did she stay in your room overnight?"

Only then did Meng Langruo understand what Lin Rufei meant, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, I haven't touched her, she's still a virgin... after all, she's a girl, at least she has to marry someone back to do such a thing. "

Lin Rufei smiled and said, "That's right." Seeing the lingering appearance of the two, he thought it would be a matter of course, but he didn't expect Meng Langruo to care so much about Xiao Yu.

Only when you care about one person, will you still be scruples when the love is strong, Lin Rufei sighed in her heart.But he didn't notice that Gu Xuandu who was beside him gave him a complicated look.

The author has something to say: After Lin Rufei woke up, Gu Xuandu said 320 to him.

Lin Rufei: Huh?

Gu Xuandu: I counted the number of your eyelashes more than 300 times, so it must be right.

Lin Rufei: You are really free...

Gu Xuandu: I'm not free, you're afraid you'll cry the next day.
