The two of them climbed the stairs all the way to the living room on the second floor. As they were talking on the way, they heard the sound of a certain little maid with a steamy face hurriedly chasing after her in the yard downstairs. Ouyang Rong looked downstairs and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Waiting in the living room, Li Guoer took the manuscript of "The Sapphire Case: Yuan Xi" from Ouyang Rong, checked it, and returned to the top floor. After a while, she retrieved the manuscript of "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" and handed it to Ouyang Rong.

.

The two exchanged and came back... Ouyang Rong took out several more poems containing the keyword "bright moon" and gave them to Li Guo'er.

The latter's eyes were curious, but he still cooperated with the chanting. Ouyang Rong held his sleeves in his hands and looked around calmly, but in the end he still didn't find any movement...

When he was free, Li Baoer turned around and glanced behind Ouyang Rong, and asked with a half-smile:

"Isn't Sister Xie here?"

"She said she was tired and wanted to rest."

"I'm afraid of cats."

"What's the meaning?"

Li Baoer smiled and said nothing.

Ouyang Rong glanced at the yard downstairs.

I saw Cai Shou chasing "Youzhong" to the foot of a tree. The latter jumped up the tree trunk and wanted to use the tree to climb up to the second floor where Ouyang Rong was. However, it was walking on the tree trunk, tilting its head slightly and keeping quiet.

Observe the dangerous mistress Li Guoer around Ouyang Rong.

Cai Shou raised her head and shouted anxiously upward, but it didn't even look at it.

"You maid, why are you so stupid..."

Ouyang Rong turned around speechlessly.

Li Guoer shrugged: "I am sleepy and have gone to rest. If you have nothing to do, go back first, otherwise Sister Xie will have to worry about checking the post again. If there are other clues about 'Ming Yue' later, remember to bring them to you as soon as possible.

To this princess."

"What kind of inspection, what nonsense..."

Before the stern-faced Ouyang Rong finished speaking, a sound of pushing the door suddenly came from the courtyard below.

"Elder brother, sister Guo'er? It's strange, why haven't you come out yet? Wasn't it a quarter of an hour..."

The two people upstairs only heard a somewhat tentative shout, and then Xie Lingjiang's head first poked into the courtyard door, and then she walked carefully into the door and looked around.

Li Guo'er looked at Ouyang Rong with a half-smile.

Before Ouyang Rong could speak, he rushed to the door with a "whoosh" and jumped like a white meteor into Xie Lingjiang's arms.

When Xie Lingjiang looked surprised, the snow-white cat had raised its two paws and stepped on her bulging chest again and again. It purred from its mouth and stepped on her paws very seriously.

There was silence inside and outside the courtyard.

The good rebound in the depression made the kitten more curious and faster. Cai Shou's face was red with embarrassment, and she stepped forward in a panic, apologizing and helping.

Ouyang Rong saw the expression of helplessness and embarrassment on the face of the little junior sister who was being stepped on by the kitten. She was leaning back, probably because she wanted to throw away Youzhong, but she was afraid of falling and hurting it, so she hesitated and was a little worried.

The corners of Ouyang Rong's mouth twitched slightly.

By the Zhulou window, Li Baoer also curled his lips, snorted, and pointed his eyes at Ouyang Rong, as if to say... You see, Sister Xie is afraid of cats. She is like this every time she comes back, but even if she is afraid of kittens

Even stepping on your breasts won't stop you from checking your post.

But Li Guo'er, who had a teasing smile in his eyes, didn't expect that Ouyang Rong next to him had a thoughtful expression on his face. His eyes seemed to look at Xie Lingjiang, who was slightly troubled, and then turned back...

...and threw herself into her arms.

Li Bao'er was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red.

"What are you thinking about? Ouyang Lianghan!" she said angrily.

Ouyang Rong looked away as if nothing had happened, and went downstairs to help his junior sister. After a while, his stern-faced scolding voice came from downstairs: "Well, come here, you have the skills! You really have the skills..."

"Meow?"

…

On the river, heavy rain poured down.

This large river is located at the junction of Jiangzhou and Hongzhou.

There were very few ships on the river, and a merchant ship with the flag Taoshou Zhai was sailing slowly.

In the cabin, on a table in the center of a hall, a pot of milky-white sturgeon soup was simmering over low heat, filling the hall with its delicious flavor.

A tall orchid with flaming blond hair was sitting at the table, eyes closed, as if waiting for something.

At the table, there was a little lolita with a runny nose in pigtails, standing on tiptoes, poking her lips with an index finger, looking longingly at the delicious white sturgeon soup on the table.

The candle in the snow kept its eyes closed and did not move at all.

Seeing the old master sitting quietly and not moving his chopsticks, Li Shu sniffed and held it back.

These two Yangtze River white sturgeons have been caught on the boat by the flying "worm lady" for a long time. Li Shu helps to raise them in a large water tank. As time goes by, they almost develop some feelings for them.

Originally, one of them was caught and stewed in soup today, and she was still a little reluctant to give it up. But when it was time for dinner, Li Shu suddenly figured it out when she smelled the delicious fish soup. She thought that having a bowl of it would be a small memorial.

.

I remember that when the master wanted to pick one in the morning, he asked her to choose one of the two. Li Shu couldn't bear to choose the smallest one. But looking back now, the small one is so delicious, how about the big one?

Thinking of this, Li Shu's little face looked in awe.

It's a pity that today she is at a table with children, no, she is the only child. There is no table, so she can only stand with the bowl and cannot use the chopsticks before the guests.

The master said that it was very important for the uncle to entertain a group of people today. For the guests who came from afar, she had to be as aloof as the Yue girls in the same family. She could not cause trouble to the uncle, otherwise she would take off again. Moreover, the insect mother was not around recently.

No one caught her immediately...

Just as Li Shu was quietly looking at Xue Zhongzhu's face with her eyes closed as if sleeping, she slowly stretched out her index finger that was poking her lips.

Squeak——! Boom——!

The cabin door was pushed open from the outside, the river wind mixed with raindrops flew into the hall, and three figures appeared at the door where the sky was filled with thunder and lightning.

A gentle female gentleman in flowing white clothes took the lead in the door with a smile. It was Yu Nianyuan. She walked into the hall with two dusty men in coir raincoats and bamboo hats.

The eyes of the latter were immediately attracted by the pot of milky white and delicious sturgeon soup on the table... and the little Loli Zha who was stretching out her fingers to "touch" the fish soup at the table. Under everyone's gaze, the latter quickly

Turn your back and suck your fingers.

Beside the table, the candle in the snow suddenly opened its eyes.

Li Shu clasped her hands behind her back, with a simple and cute face.
