Chapter 18:

"Although the girl was tired yesterday, she looks better now."
The budgerigar stood in front of the bed, watching the little red face that the girl had just wiped, sincerely praised.
Xie Lanyin was dubious, handed the parcel to Sang Zhi, and motioned for the budgerigar to lift a mirror to take a picture of her. The budgerigar smiled and placed her in front of a circle of colored gems. Xie Lanyin looked at the hand cream while seeing that she was not tired in the mirror, but she was so excited that she laughed.
I put on shoes and walked around the room. It was probably put on the ointment last night, and the budgerigar woke up before going to bed. The legs were not sour. Xie Lanyin became more energetic, put on an apricot round neck robe, and briskly greeted his mother.
When I walked to Xiangyuan, I saw my mother's sister-in-law standing outside. Yu Zhan saw that she made a special pass. Xie Lanyin knew that there was a ghost. She hurried to the house and looked at the women in doubt. What whisper to your sister again? "
Jiang coughed and quickly winked at the second daughter.
Xie Lanqiao was thundered by her mother early in the morning, and she was laughing and crying. She didn't think it was something bad to tell her sister, and she told it like a joke. "Lan Yin, my mother asked me if I like second cousin. Do you think I like it? The kind of marrying. "
Xie Lanyin froze, and his second cousin, Jiang Xingzhou, was so warm and smooth as water, and couldn't help laughing, sitting next to his mother and saying, "Why did the mother think of this? The second cousin is the most beautiful in Zhulin. That green bamboo, my sister is a bird flying in the sky, not a lonely person. "
If she had anything with her second cousin, she would have seen it.
Both daughters took this family matter as a joke, but Jiang was serious and gave the little daughter a glance, "What do you know? Now that you feel unsuitable, you can be together after getting married, like I and your father, if I were Ignoring him, he couldn't say a few words for a long time, didn't we have a good life, and gave birth to your sister-in-law? "
"But you like each other, I don't have that kind of thought about the second cousin at all," it was a matter of self, Xie Lanqiao retorted immediately, "in my eyes the second cousin is my dear brother, he should think so too, mother and you Just don't pair blindly, really want to get married with your uncle, it's better to match Lanyin with your third cousin ... "
"What nonsense!" Xie Lanyin quit and came over to hit her sister.
The sisters had a fight with Magpies, and Jiang turned his head to drink tea.
Xie Lanyin looked at her mother and sat down again. She asked her sister gleefully, "Mother said to us, most of my aunt also mentioned to the second cousin. Then the sister still embarrassed to let the second cousin lead you to the shop every day? Shall I go to Tongshan? "
Xie Lanqiao didn't think so, "The second cousin is not so stingy, the elders are messy, what's our embarrassment? If you look at it for a while, I will ask the second cousin myself."
She didn't speak like a girl. She was stupid than she was when she was younger. Jiang rubbed her forehead and decided to make fun with the children. It was all her family. It did n’t matter what she said, just to avoid having to think about it. Reason to reject my brother. Cousins ​​and cousins ​​are good to get married. It is reassuring to know the bottom line, but the children ca n’t force them if they do n’t look right.
Mother-in-law said something for a while, and went to the main room for dinner.
Everyone in the Jiang family arrived. Jiang Qin and Li were sitting side by side on the main seat. The Jiang Jizhou and his wife sat on one side, and the brother Jiang Huaizhou sat on the other side.
Seeing their mother-in-law, Li's eyes lighted up and looked at the aunt expectantly. There was no problem with the son, so he looked over there.
Xie Lanqiao is smart, a pair of wonderful eyes can see through people ’s hearts, glanced around, she smiled and walked directly to Jiang Xingzhou, "Second cousin, my mother and aunt want to match us, then I ask, you want to marry me ?"
Everyone was shocked.
Brother Jiang's brother gave a helpless look and went directly to his seat. Xie Lanyin followed his mother and looked at Jiang Xingzhou with a smile, wondering how he answered.
Jiang Xingzhou stood up, looked at his aunt, and returned to the boy-like cousin in front of him, generously and honestly: "If the second cousin is willing to marry me, I will treat you well and not let the second cousin suffer any grievances. ... "
He didn't like anyone. Since his parents and aunt wanted to match him with the second cousin, as long as the second cousin was interested, he would focus on her.
But he was interrupted by Xie Lanqiao before he said, "Who wants to be old with you? The second cousin, you pretend to be young. I know you only treat me as a younger sister. Okay, you want to push me for the crimes of living up to the elders' hard work. On my body, it makes me blame me for being blind to gold and jade? "
Jiang Xingzhou smiled calmly and touched his cousin's head and said, "Since Lanqiao doesn't like me, then I will find a good husband for Lanqiao."
He really has no love for men and women with his cousin. The cousin does not like him, and he breathes a sigh of relief, because he thinks that the cousin should marry a man who sincerely treats her, and the husband and wife love each other instead of respecting each other.
Xie Lanqiao ducked his hand disgustingly.
Jiang Qin and his husband looked at each other, their hearts were cold, and they dared to love the two children without meaning, because they thought too much.
Her daughter dared to say anything. Jiang was very embarrassed and smiled at her nephew and said, "These two girls have been used to me. They don't look like a girl. Don't laugh at me." "
Lin Xuan quickly shook her head and looked enviously at Sister Xie Lanyin, saying sincerely: "Where is my aunt saying, I am the eldest daughter in the family, and the following are my younger brothers. I have envied my partner who was taken care of by my elder brother. As close as brothers and sisters, I will only be envious when I see them. "
Xie Lanyin coughed gently, and took a meaningful look at Jiang Jizhou, whispering: "Now cousin no longer needs to be envious. The big cousin must be better than you to us, so he said his beard, I hate it many times He didn't want to shave it off, and he was all smug all day long, but in the end he said he would shave it out honestly ... "
Lin Xuan blushed suddenly, looked at her husband shamefully, and lowered her head.
Jiang Jizhou warned the little cousin with a smile, "It's your cousin Yufu who is good, Lan Yin has more time to sit with your cousin, learn from her, don't always think about going out, I heard you learned to ride horses yesterday. ? "
"If you care, your skin is almost thicker than the city walls!" I haven't heard that any husband boasted his wife's gentleness in the face of a family member, Xie Lanyin felt embarrassed for his cousin.
The children were not big or small, and Li looked at her daughter-in-law, who was so ashamed to lower her head, that she was relieved, and she forgot the disappointment that her second marriage would not work.
The matter was said, the elders no longer bothered, Xie Lanqiao continued to follow Jiang Xingzhou to shop, Xie Lanyin continued to learn to ride horses with Jiang Huaizhou. She is an impatient person. She ca n’t go out for two quarters before going out. If she is interested in horseback riding, she will soon learn. After two days, she ran the horse from the suburbs for the first time.
The horse race came back that day, and when he entered the door, he encountered Lu Chi and went out.
Xie Lanyin was accompanied by Lu Chi when she went out in Hangzhou. When she arrived in Xi'an with three cousins, Lu Chi did not follow. I haven't seen him for several days in a row. Xie Lanyin still misses him a little, and tells Xiaoxi to lead the horse. She speaks with Lu Chi familiarly, "What are you doing these days?"
Lu Chi struck a fine cloth gray coat, because Jiang Huaizhou was beside him, he was a little more polite than when he was alone with the girl, and respectfully returned: "I went back to my hometown, worshipped my grandfather and grandmother, and some others Shit. "
He was an orphan adopted by the family's shopkeeper, Lu Yao, who naturally referred to Lu Yao's home.
Looking at Lu Chi, who is as handsome as his three cousins, but with a cloud of difference, when thinking of running around when she was five years old, Lu Chi always followed without leaving, Xie Lanyin suddenly touched. In her heart, Lu Chi is a trustworthy long follower and her partner.
"Today is twenty-two. The day after tomorrow is your birthday. Let's go to the city. I will give you a gift." Xie Lanyin invited with a smile. There is a temple fair on March 24 every year in Hangzhou City. She goes every year. At the age of eight, she didn't know that Lu Chi was born the same day. Because of her time, she remembered it all at once.
The little girl has a sweet smile and intimate eyes. It should be the only person in the world who remembers his birthday except the righteous father. Lu Chi's heart is soaked in warm water, warm from the inside to the outside. Unwilling to let people know, he looked down to conceal the emotions in his eyes, "The girl still remembers that for Lu Chi, this is the best gift the girl gave me, and other girls don't need to spend money."
Xie Lanyin knew that he was polite, looked up at his cousin, and smiled: "It's not just for you to buy gifts. Twenty-five let's go to Tongshan together. I want to add something. The third cousin will go to the shop that day. So I asked you to stay with me. "
Lu Chi laughed, "OK."
Jiang Huaizhou looked at him and asked, "Are you familiar in the city? Do I need to send someone to guide you?"
Lu Chi has not spoken yet, Xie Lanyin is proud to say: "Three cousins ​​don't worry about it blindly. Lu Chi has the best memory. He knew the road once when he went to each place. Besides, he accompanied Uncle Lu to Xi'an several times. Understanding may not be worse than you. "
Lu Chi humbled and said modestly, "That's not dare, but I'm familiar with the shops in the city, so the three sons don't need to worry."
Jiang Huaizhou walked with him all the way, he still knew Lu Chi, knowing that he was stable, and nodded.
On the day of Lu Chi ’s birthday, Xie Lanyin got up earlier than usual, and rushed to Xiangyuan to ask his mother for instructions.
Mother, I have an appointment with Lu Chi to go to the shop today, buy some things to use tomorrow, and I will be at Mingyuelou at noon Come back after dinner. "
"What do you want to buy?" Jiang Shihan asked with a smile.
Xie Lanyin thought about it last night, and listed it all in the same way, "I want to buy a hat, my third cousin has not prepared me well, and I want to buy a sword ..."
"No, you won't use it at all. It's dangerous to buy it and hang it on your body." Jiang immediately objected, and when she saw her daughter beep, she smiled. "Forget it, buy it if you want to buy it. Take out the sword before you leave." Anyway, you just have a good picture, there is a scabbard in it, nobody knows it is empty, and it is lighter to hang on your body. "
Xie Lanyin bought the sword really good-looking. Listening to her mother's explanation, a smile appeared on her face again. "The two are the same. In addition, Lu Chi is not accompanying me. I also want to send him a sword. It is his birthday today. "
The Jiang nodded, and she also remembered Lu Chi ’s birthday. Now Lu Chi ’s daughter is just like Lu Yao ’s. It ’s similar to the feelings of her brother and sister, so she did n’t think about it. She estimated the price and asked Yuzhan to get five. One hundred and two silver tickets, Zhengzheng charged her daughter, "Do not mess with flowers, I will check with you when I come back."
Swords and other things cost money. I would rather prepare more silver for my daughter than let her daughter fancy it but cannot afford it.
Xie Lanyin rushed behind her mother and rubbed her shoulders. When Yu Zhan took the money bag, she grabbed and left.
"You don't need breakfast?" Jiang cried in doubt.
"I'm going to eat noodles with oil. My third cousin introduced me to a restaurant and I won't use it at home!" Xie Lanyin ran away without looking back.
Jiang whispered, "This child is getting wilder."
Yu Zhan spoke for her own girl. "Don't worry, Madam. The five girls can hardly come out. They are curious about nature. When they return to Hangzhou, they will definitely be good again."
Jiang's secretly sighed, why didn't she know the truth? To the daughters, the Hangzhou Xie family is more like a bird cage. Everyone is watching every word and every word. The daughters say they don't care, and they must be aggrieved. Xi'an has been more open, and they are all elders who love them. Naturally, I want to hurry and spend more time.
In front of the Jiang family.
Lu Chi was already waiting. He heard the familiar footsteps. He turned around, and the whole man was shrouded in bright morning light. Seeing Xie Lanyin dressed in jade-colored men's clothing, he called the girl with a smile, and the smile in his eyes was stronger than that of spring, which made people feel comfortable when he saw it.
"Hold it for you, be careful not to lose it." Xie Lanyin handed him the money bag in her hand, and on the ability to keep money when shopping, she thought it was not as good as Lu Chi.
Lu Chi collected it skillfully, and raised his hand to help Xie Lanyin get in the car. He followed on horseback.
The carriage stopped in an alley, and then left.
Xie Lanyin was tired from practicing horses these days, and now she was hungry. She walked beside Lu Chi and smelled the scent of rice from the restaurant on both sides. She regretted drooling. You ’re hungry, right?

In fact, Xi'an has so many famous dishes. It is not necessary to eat noodles, but the custom of living at home is to eat a bowl of longevity noodles in the morning. Xie Lanyin chose noodles here, and it was Lu Chiqingsheng.
"It's okay," Lu Chi walked outside Xie Lanyin, a pair of smiling eyes glanced at the passerby in an unpredictable way, so as not to bump into her and hear someone with a meat shop in front of him, he whispered to her, "Would you like to eat one first?" Uncle? "
It happened that there was a man in commoner clothes passing around in his forties, holding a meat clip in his hand, took a big bite, his mouth was full of oil, and the minced meat fell off, and he quickly caught it and put it back in his mouth. in. Xie Lanyin looked up at Lu Chi, and her disgusted eyes answered for her.
In the end, it was a lady from the official family. Lu Chi knew that she had a bad idea and smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, she didn't leave for a long time to the Chen Family Noodle House introduced by Jiang Huaizhou.
The shop was small, with sheds outside and rows of yellow wooden tables, full of passengers. Xie Lanyin looked clean and tidy, and was very satisfied, but he walked to the shop door with Lu Chi and found that about ten tables were not empty inside, and the crescent-like Daimei frowned.
It is worthy of cousin's strong respect. It seems that people like to eat.
Xie Lanyin had a flat stomach and didn't want to wait any longer. She was about to propose a change of house to eat. Someone suddenly beckoned to her.
Xie Lanyin's eyes widened, why did they meet them again?
Lu Chiguan looked at her, wondering: "The girl knows him?"
Xie Lanyin went out and didn't want to see acquaintances. After all, the girl's family walked around unreasonably. She wanted to pretend she didn't know her and turned to leave. Ge Jin seemed to have guessed her mind and greeted her in advance. She smiled very brightly.
Little My son came to eat noodles? It ’s a coincidence that my son was recommended by my three sons. Please meet by chance. If the little son does n’t dislike it, how about sharing the table with my son?
The owner of the noodle shop was a gray-haired aunt, and when a new guest arrived, he enthusiastically asked Xie Lanyin what to eat.
The owner invited them, Xie Lanyin was not good enough to refuse, and glanced at the table at the back, which always kept his back to his man, and led the landing late.
Ge Jin followed, looking at the clothes on Lu Chi's body, guessing that it was only long-distance, rest assured.
"Yuan Gongzi, we have met again." At the table, Xie Lanyin gathered her strange feelings about the chance encounters and chuckled with a smile.
Xiao Yuan had just arrived, and nodded his face. He was also surprised to meet Xie Lanyin, nodded toward the two, and signaled that they were seated. After listening to Xie Lanyin's introduction to the long-dressed man, Xiao Yuan gave his first compliment. He didn't look at Lu Chi and asked Xie Lanyin about Jiang Huaizhou. "Why didn't the third son accompany you?"
"He went to shop to be busy with business." Xie Lanyin replied as she watched the elder mother approaching, saying no to first meeting Lu Chi, ordering, and then chatting like a question, "Why did Yuan Gongzi think of eating in such a small place?"
Xiao Yuan smiled, and set his eyes on the side politely. "Not long after I first came to Xi'an, I want to walk everywhere. How about you, just come over to eat?" When speaking, he realized that Lu Chi was looking at him, Xiao Yuan looked up at him. With opposite eyes, Lu Chi smiled generously before retracting his eyes. Xiao Yuan looked at the master and servant as they sat close to each other with sleeves about half their arms apart, their eyes slightly changed.
The Jiang family were all savvy. This long-term leader, Lu Chi, had some skills and was qualified to go out with her alone.
Xie Lanyin nodded, seeing the man brought two bowls of noodles, smiled at each other, and signaled him to eat first.
The big porcelain bowl fell on the table, and the oil was still sizzling. Xiao Yuan did not use chopsticks for a while and continued to ask her, "Where to go after dinner?"
This questioning was a bit rude, Xie Lanyin pursed her lips, thinking that his cousin valued him, she did not show her displeasure, and replied perfunctoryly: "Walk around casually, buy two things you like, if you do n’t see them The local customs are in the city. "
Ge Jin quietly glanced at the master, inexplicably nervous. The Xie Wu girl doesn't seem to want to see her master very much. She must bear it in addition to the cold face of the emperor, but she did not have a good temper to endure others to treat him gently. Will she make an exception for women this time?
Xiao Yuan's hand on his leg moved imperceptibly, and his index finger flicked.
Of course he knew he should n’t ask a girl where he was going, but he liked her voice, and thought she was going back to Hangzhou soon. I ’m afraid there would be no chance for them to meet again in the future. Listen to her. He doesn't bully others, doesn't catch her oriole, listen to the assembly twice more, right?
"Just as Yuan has the same intention. Since you have someone who is familiar with Xi'an to lead the way, I wonder if you can allow me to follow and borrow it for your convenience?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyes and looked directly at the girl facing him for the first time today.
He speaks abruptly, but his gaze is frank, as if he just doesn't understand human affairs, not shameless.
Xie Lanyin recalled meeting a few times. Except for his outstanding looks, his impression was only his arrogance, and he really did n’t know much about his personality. Hiding your thigh quietly with your hands in the sleeves, thinking of the Yulian cream he sent, it is not without any advantages. Xie Lanyin decided to sell his cousin to him. "Well, Yuangong is my cousin's friend, cousin today If not, let us do the landlord's good for him. "
"Thank you." Xiao Yuan smiled politely and waited for Xie Lanyin's master and servant to bring up his chopsticks.
Xie Lanyin's face arrived, still very hot, but she was too hungry, stirred, and anxious to pinch one, tossed softly. Xiao Yuan sat across from her and heard the movement look at her, just to see the little girl pursing her rosy lips, without any warning in her mind, the ridiculous scene in that night dream appeared, Xiao Yuan quickly looked up, and her provocative action did not Stagnation, but the taste disappeared.
He was nineteen, had dreams at the age of fourteen and five, and was vague. He could only guess what dreams he had dreamed through the traces on the mattress when he woke up. Only the two games that dreamed of her not only remembered her appearance, but also remembered every time. One scene, especially her voice when he shouted at him, he could not think of words, only knew that if he was more faint, he would do something to grab the door and make the dream come true.
I did n’t know the taste of a bowl of pasta. After the meal, Xiao Yuan sent Ge to check it out.
Thank you for your help. I deserve this meal.

For the small account of dozens of money, Xie Lanyin did not reject it.
Out of the noodle shop, Ge Jin and Lu Chi walked behind their masters, one with joy and one eyebrow slightly locked.
Xiao Yuan wanted to listen to the little girl, but he didn't take the initiative to talk. Xie Lanyin was unwilling to show how happy he was with him in shopping, so he remained silent, turned his head to the excitement on the left, and didn't look at the man. The two were not embarrassed with their own thoughts. Ge Jin secretly anxious for the master, and after walking for a while, asked with a smile: "Is there anything that the young man wants to buy?"
They all left together, and Xie Lanyin didn't need to conceal it. Looking back, he said, "I want to buy a top bucket, and then I need a sword."
Ge Jin was surprised: "Little boy will still work hard?"
Xie Lanyin looked a little instinctively, and looked instinctively at the person next to him. He saw the man's Phoenix Eyes look at him unexpectedly, and somehow his face became hot. He casually said, "I learned a trick and a half with my father, and I usually practice it myself "Can't tell them that she just bought it to look like her?
"It turned out that five ... the little boy can also swordplay, it's really amazing." Ge Jinxu's slim small body in front of him believed that he was really excited to find a chance for the master to get close to the beauty. "The boy is good at swords. It can be considered as the goodwill of the little boy today to lead the way. "
Xiao Yuan watched the little girl's increasingly red face, her lips raised, and asked her softly, "What do you want?"
Xie Lanyin shook his head if he didn't want to, and smiled, "Forget it, I don't dare to show ugliness in front of Yuan Gongzi."
Xiao Yuan glanced at the folding fan around her waist, and realized that the girl liked the smell.
Just looking to the front, Yu Guangli suddenly noticed that someone was following in the distance, and it was by no means his secret guard. Xiao Yuan's eyes diffused instantly, and he secretly shook his hands.
Is his identity exposed?
Silently accompanied the little girl to a few sword shops and helped her choose a women's sword, Xiao Yuan casually made an excuse to say goodbye.
Instead of returning to his residence, he went to a tea house he had secretly bought.
After tasting a cup of tea, the dark guard on duty today came in as a buddy.
"Is it found out who is it?" Xiao Yuan asked, holding a tea cup, in a tone like asking how the account room is going today.
An Wei whispered: "Return to the boy, I continued to follow him after he left, and found that the man's goal should be the girl Xie family."
When Ge Jin was relieved, he said that the master could not expose his whereabouts so soon, and he was suspicious again. Who would follow a 13-year-old girl? Could it be that the traffickers are eyeing them because of their beauty?
"Go check the other party's details. If the other party takes a shot, she will deal with it before Xie girl notices."
Xiao Yuan put down the tea cup, his face was like Yanxian, and his voice was cold like the King of Yan. 2k novel reading network
