Ren Yaoqi saw the nervous expressions of several maids and shook his head: "I'm not angry."
She would not be angry because Xiao Jingxi said a few words with other women, but Yan Ningshuang's behavior made her feel a little unhappy.
Yan Ningshuang came to the Yanbei Palace in the same car as Zhao Yingqiu. The princess had sent them to the car before, but now that Zhao Yingqiu and the carriage have left, Yan Ningshuang has not left yet.
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi's expression was still mild, Apple and the others were slightly relieved. Seeing that the wedding date is not far away, no one wants anything more to happen.
The carriage drove out of the Yanbei Palace slowly, and Ren Yaoqi was not looking out of the carriage.
However, Ren Yaoqi didn't look outside, but several maids were not at ease. Leshan, who was sitting by the window of the car, secretly opened the driving curtain and took a look outside, wanting to see if the second son of the Xiao family would throw away Yan Ningshuang and the woman would catch up.
Ren Yaoqi noticed Leshan's movements and did not say anything, leaving her alone.
After leaving the Yanbei Palace, the carriage headed in the direction of Aquarius Hutong. In addition to the gentlemen in the academy, the people living in Aquarius Hutong were some literati. It’s quiet during the day, unlike other houses and alleys. The big streets outside the hutong are basically pen and ink calligraphy shops, antique seal shops, etc., so they are nowhere near the bustling and bustling Zhengyang Street. .
When their carriage turned into the street in front of Aquarius Hutong, Leshan still refused to give up trying to look back. Ren Yaoqi sighed and was about to speak, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a person on the opposite street from a seal. Walking out of the shop, Ren Yaoqi's tea bowl and bowl lid suddenly knocked out with a sharp sound under a startling glance.
Although the sound was not too loud, because the carriage was very quiet, Leshan was so frightened that he quickly lowered the curtain. She thought that Ren Yaoqi was angry, so she confessed her mistake and lowered her head to admit her mistake: "The slave and maid knew what was wrong."
Ren Yaoqi didn't seem to hear Leshan's words. She blinked slowly, and then suddenly called "stop".
The woman driving outside heard a response and started to slow down. Several maids didn't know why they saw Ren Yaoqi moving to the window. Pulling the curtain aside, the carriage was a little far away from the seal shop just now.
Ren Yaoqi looked through the car window. Only had time to see a man in a green shirt walking in the opposite direction with her leisurely steps.
The man was tall and slender, because he couldn't see his appearance or his age because he turned his back to them. Although he was dressed as a scholar, he looked a little lazy, as if everything in the world was invisible and uncomfortable. He was slightly tilting his head to talk to his little servant at this time, even if he couldn't see the front, Ren Yaoqi could guess that he must be holding his eyes slightly now. There was still a careless smile at the corner of his mouth, and he looked like he could never wake up. You don't know whether you are in his sight or just nothingness.
Ren Yaoqi looked at that person's back in a daze, forgot how to react. Until that person's figure turned into another street and disappeared.
"Miss? What's the matter with you?" Leshan asked cautiously. She had the courage to secretly glanced outside, but saw nothing. There were only twos and threes in this street. And they are strangers who do not know.
Ren Yaoqi gradually recovered, and then realized that she was a little gaffe, she put the curtain down, pursed her lips, and whispered, "It's okay, I have admitted the wrong person."
"Then we go back now?" Leshan asked.
Ren Yaoqi was silent and did not speak.
Le Shui observes his words and expressions: "Maybe Miss didn't admit the wrong person just now. How about turning around and looking back?"
Ren Yaoqi sighed, looked at the maids and smiled: "Go back, I admitted wrong."
What if it is right?
She remembered that the person was a teacher or a friend, but that person would only make her a stranger. Even if they stood together, they were speechless.
The few maids didn't say anything, Apple ordered the woman who drove the car to continue to move forward.
When the carriage was about to move, the wall of the carriage was knocked.
Ren Yaoqi, who had just calmed down, couldn't help but froze, turning her head to look in the direction of the car window, but her right hand clenched unconsciously, and she was a little nervous.
Leshan looked at Ren Yaoqi and asked aloud: "Who?"
The people outside seemed to pause, and then a soft, dull and pleasant voice sounded outside: "Me."
Ren Yaoqi slowly exhaled, and let go of his hand, the palm of his hand was a little sweaty. How could she forget that there was always someone who likes to knock on the wall of her carriage.
Ren Yaoqi opened the car curtain a bit, looked at Xiao Jingxi standing outside the car window, and whispered, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Jingxi came on horseback alone, standing beside the carriage, holding the reins in his hand. He was still wearing the same clothes he had stood with Yan Ningshuang before, and his deep eyes watched Ren Yaoqi silent for a while.
Seeing him not to say anything, Ren Yaoqi was about to put the curtain down, Xiao Jingxi whispered: "I have something to tell you, I will go to the Dongsheng Teahouse in front to wait for you." He did not wait for Ren Yaoqi to refuse. The horse that turned around and left first.
Ren Yaoqi held his chin and blinked, after thinking about it, he didn't move for a long time.
She did not speak, no one of the maids dared to move, and the carriage still stopped by the roadside.
"Go out from the front alley and go to the back door of Dongsheng Tea House." After a while, Ren Yaoqi whispered.
The woman who drove the carriage got the order and drove the carriage again.
Leshan had a lively temper and couldn't help but dare to ask: "Miss, what were you thinking about just now?" Le Shui gave a warning stare.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Leshan, smiled, and said nothing.
What she just thought was that although the second son Xiao didn't like riding horses, he looked pretty when he got on the horse, and it looked like that. She didn't know how long he secretly practiced before he fell off his horse. Of course, Ren Yaoqi would not tell his maid about this kind of thing.
Xiao Jingxi may have arranged it before he came to see her. When Ren Yaoqi's carriage drove into the back door of Dongsheng Tea House, Tonghe had already stood there waiting for her for a while.
Tong He led Ren Yaoqi to the box on the second floor, Xiao Jingxi was already waiting inside.
The maids and entourage were all guarding the outside. Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi standing in front of him half-truth and half-truth: "Master Xiao, this seems to be unreasonable?" Although she had met Xiao Jingxi privately before. , But it was all things that needed to be discussed with him. At that time, Ren Yaoqi wanted to get out of trouble and protect his family. He had spare time to pay attention to the fame and fame.
"You and I have a marriage contract, which is different from ordinary people." Xiao Jingxi thought of seeing Ren Yaoqi standing with Yan Ningshuang talking before. He didn't know if Ren Yaoqi said this on purpose. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Still pretending to be calm and confident.
The folk customs here in Yanbei are more open than those in the south, and they are much more tolerant to men and women who have a marriage contract. As long as they do not go beyond the rules and have a maid following, they are not afraid to meet. Especially when it comes to the Shangsi Festival, the Flower Festival, and the Lantern Festival, they will be allowed to travel together.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him with a smile but didn't say anything to refute him.
"I just wanted to go back to see you..." Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and suddenly muttered a little bit of grievance and annoyance.
Ren Yaoqi was a little bit dumbfounded at once, but the unhappiness that was stuck in her heart that she tried to ignore before disappeared a lot.
Xiao Jingxi took a step forward, standing closer to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi was about to retreat, but Xiao Jingxi first reached out and hugged her.
Ren Yaoqi's face flushed. After struggling for a while, he was afraid that people outside would hear the movement, so he could only whisper, "Let go of me!"
"Don't let go..." Xiao Jingxi's low-pitched voice rang in Ren Yaoqi's ears with a smile, causing her heart to tremble, and her hands and feet suddenly became soft.
"I was just anxious to see you, and didn't avoid her for a while. Don't be angry with me for an irrelevant life, okay?" Xiao Jingxi whispered in Ren Yaoqi's ear.
Xiao Jingxi's clear and pleasant smell surrounded Ren Yaoqi all the way, her heart beating like it was about to burst out of her chest, even her brain was full of "popping" echoes, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel ashamed. angry.
She tried to calm herself down. When she was about to push him away with all her strength so that she could breathe smoothly, she saw that the roots of Xiao Jingxi's ears were suspiciously pink, and she paused. After a pause, he found that Xiao Jingxi's heartbeat was also very anxious, even more than hers, even though his face was still so calm.
Ren Yaoqi wanted to laugh again, she sighed, and then said coldly: "Xiao Jingxi, if you don't let go, I will be angry."
This was the first time that her name and surname were Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Jingxi was stunned, then let go of her obediently, but refused to leave her eyes slightly.
Ren Yaoqi didn't avoid Xiao Jingxi's sight this time, but looked at him seriously for a while, until she determined that the second son of Xiao's calm appearance was indeed nervous, she said seriously: "I am not angry with you. "
Xiao Jingxi looked at her without speaking.
Ren Yaoqi sighed, and then said: "Because I know that with your temperament, if you are unwilling, even if Yan Ningshuang resorts to fierce means, she will not be able to do so."
Yan Ningshuang didn't know, but Ren Yaoqi knew very well that if Xiao Jingxi really didn't want to marry Yan Ningshuang, and if Yan Ningshuang still tried his best, Xiao Jingxi didn't mind letting her disappear in this world.
Xiao Jingxi's just aggrieved or rascal or domineering appearance is not the real him.
Although he would still be nervous in front of her, he would blush. RU
