It was windy and snowy, so that day Li Xiuyuan called a carriage for Ximen Xiaoyu and took her back to the City Lord's Mansion.

He closed the shop early, stepped one foot higher than the other, walked through the thick snow, and went to the lakeside restaurant outside the market to find a pot of delicious food. He wanted to have a drink to celebrate.

Just like walking in brocade clothes at night, at this moment, I can't find a close friend with whom I can confide my heart.

If he was still in the academy, even if his master was not here, he could still find the fat boy Chu Feng and have him have a few drinks with him.

Facing the snow and wind all over the city, Li Xiuyuan arrived at the small restaurant by the lake. The cook quickly brought a basin of charcoal fire and placed it under the table near the lake.

This guest who braved the wind and snow to come to dinner was a true love to them.

"Let's have a pot of meat stewed here. I want the best, two pounds of beef with soy sauce, and two plates of side dishes." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and greeted the waiter.

The waiter laughed when he heard this, looked at him and asked: "The guest has ordered so much, can he finish it?"

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, naturally the endless sauce beef should be packaged and taken away?

Before he could reply, a gentle voice came from behind him: "Why can't you finish eating? Am I still here? Bring them all quickly, and have another pot of hot tea."

Li Xiuyuan was startled, turned around and looked at the person coming, and asked: "Why are you here in this windy and snowy situation?"

The visitor laughed when he heard this, looked at him and replied: "In this snowy and windy weather, you are the only one who would enjoy the tranquility here."

...

Tonight, the city lord's mansion has long been in chaos.

Today, Ximen Xiaoyu is like a child who got fresh candy, playing happily from the garden to the flower hall, and then from the flower hall to the garden, as if there is no moment of boredom and fatigue.

When it was time to light the lanterns, I refused to sit down and eat. Instead, I took a bowl of rice and ran to the door of the flower hall to watch the snow falling in the sky.

Wang Lianhua looked at Huangfu Qingmei and asked: "Qingmei, where did you take Yu'er to today? After you came back, you were like a little lunatic, busy in front of and behind the house."

Huangfu Qingmei looked at Ximen Xiaoxi who was sitting in front of the flower hall, and replied softly: "I just took her to the wine shop to learn how to play the piano with that guy Shura? Didn't she have been arguing for a long time?"

Ximen Guxing looked at her and asked softly, "Could it be that my brother gave her alcohol or Ecstasy?"

Huangfu Qingmei glared at him and said angrily: "How dare he? When I left, that guy was still angry with me?"

At this time, Ximen Tingxue walked out of the house, looked at the women in front of him and said, "What are you arguing about? Can't you have a good meal?"

Zhuang Wan'er, who was sitting aside, shook her head and said softly: "Lianhua, you are not as good as me as a mother. Why don't you adopt Yu'er to me? I really like having another daughter."

Wang Lianhua was stunned, looked at her and asked, "Why is this?"

Zhuang Waner glared at her and said softly: "Xiaoyu and I have lived in Fucheng for many years, and I have never been as happy and excited as today... Didn't you find that Xiaoyu has broken through another level? I remember her

When I went out at noon, it was still at the fifth level..."

After hearing what her mother said, Huangfu Qingmei looked at Ximen Xiaoyu carefully, and after a while she murmured: "These two monsters!"

Wang Lianhua glared at her and said with a smile: "Speak carefully, isn't it a good thing that Xiaoyu broke through?"

Ximen Tingxue, who was sitting aside, looked at the three of them and said, "Go and call Xiaoyu and ask what's going on."

Ximen Lone Star didn't wait for his wife to speak, and quickly stood up and walked to the flower hall, pulling his bewildered sister inside.

As he walked, he asked: "Sister, what happened to you in that wine shop today?"

Ximen Xiaoyu looked at him and shook his head, and replied confusedly: "No, I just drank two cups of tea."

Returning to the table, Huangfu Qingmei reached out and held her right hand, explored it quietly for a while, looked at her and said with a smile: "Isn't it good when I went with you? Why did it suddenly break? Could it be?

Didn’t that boy drink the spiritual wine for you?”

In her and Ximen Lone Star's hearts, Li Xiuyuan made her drink up the last bit of medicine.

When Ximen Xiaoyu heard this, he quickly shook his head and replied: "What kind of wine do you have? I just drank two cups of tea."

Zhuang Wan'er also reached out and pinched Ximen Xiaoyu's right hand, and after a while she said: "This pulse is peaceful and the energy is sufficient, which is a sign of a natural breakthrough."

Ximen Tingxue looked at her daughter and asked, "Tell daddy what magical things happened this afternoon."

Ximen Xiaoxi lowered his head and thought for a while, then whispered back: "No, Xiu...my master said that he should chat with me before teaching me how to play the piano. He said it made some sense, otherwise there would be no way to learn the piano."

"Just chatting?" Wang Lianhua looked at her daughter and was stunned.

Ximen Xiaoyu glanced at her and continued: "I was very angry at the time and said that I came to learn piano, not to chat with the master..."

"The master was also very angry and said that if I didn't chat with him, he would ask me to come back..."

"This guy is a fool and a fool!" When Huangfu Qingmei heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry and had the urge to go find Li Xiuyuan.

Zhuang Wan'er stretched out her hand to hold her and said quietly: "Listen to Xiao Yu's words."

Ximen Xiaoxue continued: "I had no choice but to chat with him for a while...Then the master told me to listen to the sound of flowing water in the creek and the sound of falling snowflakes...

To feel the thousands of troops on the battlefield, to experience the feeling of standing on a high mountain and seeing all the mountains and small mountains, seeing the sky and the earth and seeing all living beings..."

"Oh, by the way, the master also said not to learn from him, nor from any other teacher, because there is no distinction between high and low in piano skills. It's just that everyone's mood is different. If they want to play in the same tune...it doesn't seem to be possible.

possible......"

"Then I sat at the table for an unknown amount of time. Finally, Xiu... the master called a carriage for me and asked the driver to take me back to the house..."

After spending a while, Ximen Xiaoyu narrated the story that happened in the small wine shop to the people in front of him.

Zhuang Waner looked at her daughter and sighed softly.

I don’t know if it’s for Li Xiuyuan or Huangfu Qingmei.

After Ximen Tingxue heard this, he burst out laughing. He looked at everyone and said, "Look, I said this guy is not an ordinary person. He is the only one who can tell Xiaoyu these truths. Even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to tell him.

ah?"

Zhuang Wan'er glanced at her daughter and said with a smile: "Looks like I have to go to his shop someday...I haven't had that wine for a long time."

Ximen Guxing looked at her and said timidly: "That guy said that wine needs to be brewed in spring to be considered fine wine. Even the medicinal wine brewed for me will have to wait until the beginning of spring the year after tomorrow."

"Is he so magical? I think he is a few years younger than me. This master always feels weird when he shouts..." Ximen Xiaoyu looked at the group of people and shouted.

When Wang Lianhua heard this, she couldn't help but glared at her and lectured: "Don't say that to him, don't forget, you haven't taken a single pill of elixir, and you have already broken through the second realm because of you as a master. This opportunity will not allow you to

Even my brother can’t compare.”

Huangfu Qingmei's heart suddenly felt empty, and she suddenly lost her appetite while looking at the table of delicious food.

When it comes to fate, she and Li Xiuyuan are the deepest.

I remember that when I came to Ding'an City from Fucheng, I was the first to meet Li Xiuyuan. For this reason, I spent a night in his wine shop and broke through the second realm...

However, since I got married to Ximen Guxing, I don't know why I like to argue with this guy, but that guy seems to be like a fool and doesn't know how to give in to others.

She didn't know whether it was because she was getting married that she unconsciously kept the drunken shopkeeper thousands of miles away, or whether it was because of some inexplicable reason that she decided to forget his name in her heart.

And all of this has nothing to do with Li Xiuyuan.

At this moment, he was sweating profusely on a snowy night.

Just because Li Qiu Shui, whom he met by chance, liked spicy food, he sprinkled a handful of chili peppers into a large pot of meat, making Li Xiu Yuan, who was not good at this, sweat.

He looked at her and smiled and said, "You are asking me to boil a large bucket of hot water when I go back in the middle of the night."

Li Qiu Shui ignored him and chuckled: "Don't you know that women in the wild like this smell? It's great to sweat profusely in this winter to detoxify and nourish your skin!"

"I said, why are you willing to go out and come here tonight?"

In Li Qiushui's memory, Li Xiuyuan was not a guy who liked to join in the fun outside.

"I accepted a student today, although she is still a little unhappy...it's just that this guy is really a good prospect, a genius who is born to practice piano. Compared with her, I was just an idiot back then."

While talking and laughing, Li Xiuyuan told her about Ximen Xiaoyu.

After hearing this, Li Qiu Shui was startled. After a while, he pawed his hands and sighed: "The City Lord's Mansion got a big deal. It allows you to teach her. She is lucky to have cultivated in her previous life."

"It's not that exaggerated. We are all the same. Whether you are a master or a student, as long as you can do one thing well, it is something worth being happy about."

In Li Xiuyuan's heart, he was not so pretentious.

He was still a little resistant to Ximen Xiaoyu before, but when he saw that she actually listened to his explanation and entered the piano path, he felt extremely happy. How could he care about the false reputation of master and disciple?

I am also a passerby in the wilderness, and I am also a wanderer in Ding'an City. One day I will say goodbye to this place. Even if a city is placed in front of my eyes, it will just be a passing moment, right?

"In my opinion, the dinner at the City Lord's Mansion tonight was not as enjoyable as the two of us. It's interesting to live in such a day."

"Would you like to add some more meaning?" Looking at Li Qiushui, who was holding a wine glass and laughing at life, Li Xiuyuan asked quietly: "Find a trustworthy subordinate or buddy to come over and make wine with me in the spring...

..”

"What do you mean by this? Is it Feng Xue Tuo Gu? Why do you feel like a different person after you came back after being away for several months? Did you encounter any difficulties outside?"

Li Qiushui looked at Li Xiuyuan's serious look and suddenly became a little panicked.

Li Xiuyuan looked at her and shook his head, smiling lightly: "Before, it was because we weren't very familiar with each other, so I didn't tell the shopkeeper some things. If one day I want to leave here, the shopkeeper at least won't have to worry about drinking, and he will also have an extra property.

."

Li Qiu Shui was stunned, holding half a glass of wine, looking at it blankly and said: "Why me? Aren't you very familiar with the princess of Fucheng? Even the son of the city lord calls you brother..."

In her opinion, even if Li Xiuyuan leaves, he will first consider handing over the property to those two people.

Li Xiuyuan put down his wine glass, looked at the falling snowflakes in the dark night, and sighed quietly: "I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"

"I don't know how close he and I are to each other. I plan to sell this wine shop in a few days. At that time, I will record this small courtyard in your name as the shopkeeper..."

Thinking that the two of them would meet again decades later, Li Xiuyuan thought that he had to find a place to stay in the wilderness. And it seemed that the only one who could reassure him was Li Qiushui.

Because she is a businesswoman, the shopkeeper of Jinyi Fang, and she also likes her own wine.

Li Qiushui was shocked. He put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at him and said seriously: "Are you serious? This requires a lot of spiritual stones. The real estate in Ding'an City is not cheap. Do you want me to pay half of it? It's my passion for wine."

Fang’s investment?”

"I'm not lacking in spirit, I just don't want Huangfu Qingmei to know..." Li Xiuyuan said helplessly: "If you don't want to do this, I have to take over this courtyard. When I'm not here from now on,

Leave it empty."

For Li Xiuwu at the moment, he probably only needs a space ring from the man in black to control this courtyard. However, this is his privacy after all, and he doesn't want to say too much.

Li Qiushui lowered his head and thought for a while before replying: "In that case, I have taken advantage of you."
