19. Chapter 18

The matter was unfolding, and the elders no longer made up the couple. Xie Lanqiao continued to go shopping with Jiang Xingzhou, while Xie Lanyin was determined to practice horses with Jiang Huaizhou. When she became interested in everything, she learned quickly. In just a few days, she rode her horse from the suburbs into the city for the first time.

When I returned to Jiang's mansion, I met Lu Chi who returned from abroad.

Xie Lanyin was accompanied by Lu Chi when she went out in Hangzhou. After a long time no see, Xie Lanyin missed him a little and told the servant to lead the horse. She talked to Lu Chi with familiarity, "What have you been busy with these days?"

Lu Chi was wearing a gray cloth cloth. Because Jiang Huaizhou was beside him, he was a little more polite than when he was alone with the girl. He replied respectfully: "I went back to my hometown to worship my grandfather and grandmother, and there were some fragmentary things."

He was an orphan adopted by Jiang's dowry shopkeeper Lu Yao, and his hometown naturally refers to Lu Yao's hometown.

The man's tone was relaxed, and Xie Lanyin felt a little sad when she thought of his life experience. When she was young, she only knew how to run around. Lu Chi, who was five years older than her, always followed her side and meticulously. In her heart, Lu Chi was a trustworthy Changsui and her partner.

"The next day is your birthday. Let's go to the city to have a look. I'll choose a gift for you." Xie Lanyin smiled and invited. There is a temple fair in Hangzhou City every March 24th, and she goes every year. When she was eight years old, she accidentally learned about the birth date of Lu Chi and because of the coincidence of the days, she remembered it firmly.

The little girl had a sweet smile and a close look. She should be the only person in the world who remembered his birthday except her adoptive father. Lu Chi's heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, warm from the inside to the outside. Unwilling to let people know, he lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, "Miss, it is the best gift for Lu Chi, and no one needs to spend anything else."

Xie Lanyin knew he was polite, so she looked up at her cousin and smiled, "It's not just for you to buy gifts. Let's go to Tongshan together for 25. I want to add something. My third cousin was not available that day, so I asked you to accompany me."

Lu Chi laughed, "Okay."

Jiang Huaizhou and Lu Chi walked along the way, knowing that he is a steady person and familiar with all parts of Xi'an. Don't worry, hand over his cousin to him.

When it was time to go, Xie Lanyin went out with Lu Chi in the face of Chenguang and went to eat oil and splash noodles first.

The custom of my hometown is to eat a bowl of longevity noodles on the morning of birthday. There are so many famous foods in Xi'an. Xie Lanyin chose noodles to celebrate Lu Chi's birthday.

Lu Chi recognized the way, got off the carriage, and soon arrived at the Chen family noodle restaurant introduced by Jiang Huaizhou.

The shop was not big, with a shed outside, and several rows of yellow wooden tables were placed, which were filled with guests. Xie Lanyin saw the shop clean and tidy, and was very satisfied. However, when Lu Chi walked to the door of the shop, he found that there were about ten tables inside, and he frowned, like a crescent moon-like black eyebrows.

It is worthy of being highly praised by my cousin. It seems that the people all like to eat it.

Xie Lanyin has been tired and hungry these days. At this time, her stomach is flat and she doesn't want to wait. She was about to propose to eat at a restaurant when someone suddenly waved to her inside.

Xie Lanyin widened her eyes. Why did she meet them again?

Lu Chi looked at her face and said suspiciously: "Miss knows him?"

Xie Lanyin went out for a walk and was not willing to meet acquaintances. After all, the girl's house was not very suitable for walking around. She wanted to pretend not to know her and turned around and leave. Ge Jin seemed to guess her thoughts and greeted her in advance, smiling brightly, "Young Master is here to eat noodles? What a coincidence, my young master also received the recommendation from the third master. It's better to meet him by chance than to invite him. If the young master doesn't dislike her, how about the same deskmate as my young master?"

The owner of the noodle restaurant was a gray-haired aunt. When she saw a new customer coming, she enthusiastically asked Xie Lanyin what she wanted to eat.

Xie Lanyin couldn't refuse anymore, so she glanced at the man who had always turned his back to him at the bottom and led Lu Zhong to walk in.

Ge Jin followed the last, looked at Lu Chi's clothes and felt relieved.

"Young Master Yuan, we meet again." Walking to the table, Xie Lanyin put away the strange feeling of encounters in his heart, and smiled and greeted.

Not long after Xiao Yuan arrived, the dot face had not yet come up. He was also surprised to meet Xie Lanyin. He nodded to the two and signaled them to sit down. He heard Xie Lanyin introduce him to the man dressed up, Xiao Yuan nodded gently to treat him, and did not look at Lu Chi for more, and asked Xie Lanyin, "Why didn't the third son accompany you?"

"He's busy with business." Xie Lanyin answered casually. Seeing the aunt coming over, she ordered noodles with Lu Chi first, then asked in a chat, "Young Master Yuan is interested in coming to such a small place?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and his eyes fell politely to one side, "I just came to Xi'an for a while and I want to go anywhere."

When he was talking, he noticed Lu Chi was looking at him. Xiao Yuan looked up and looked at him. Lu Chi smiled openly before retracting his gaze. Xiao Yuan looked at the master and servant who were sitting close to each other, only half of his arms, and his eyes changed slightly.

The Jiang family is all smart. Chang Suiding, who is named Lu Chi, has some skills, so he is qualified to accompany her out alone.

After chatting for a few words, Xiao Yuan and his servant arrived.

The big porcelain bowl fell on the table, and the oil was still sizzling inside. Xiao Yuan didn't move his chopsticks for the time being and asked her, "Where are you going to visit after the meal?"

A man and woman who are not familiar with each other is a bit rude to ask this question. Xie Lanyin pursed her lips and replied perfunctorily: "Store around casually, buy two things you like. If you don't meet them, you should treat it as a treat to the local customs and culture."

Xiao Yuan moved his hand on his leg and tapped his index finger lightly.

Of course he knew that he shouldn't have found a girl's place to go, but he liked her voice. Thinking that she would leave Xi'an soon, the two of them would probably have no chance to meet again in the future. Xiao Yuan wanted to listen to her more while others were in front of him. He wouldn't bully others, and he wouldn't catch her yellow oriole, and listen to two more sounds?

"It just so happened that Yuan also had this intention. I wonder if I could let me follow behind and borrow some convenience? We are not familiar with this place."

Xiao Yuan raised his eyes and looked directly at the girl opposite him for the first time today.

He spoke abruptly, but his eyes were open and honest, as if he just didn't understand the worldly ways, rather than being shameless.

Xie Lanyin recalled several meetings, and except for his outstanding appearance that no one could match, the only impression of him was his arrogance and conceit. He really didn't know much about his personality. Thinking about his cousin's value, Xie Lanyin decided to sell his favor to him and said happily: "Okay, Mr. Yuan and my cousin have been with me. Today, my cousin is not here, so we should give him all the friendship of the landlord."

"Thank you." Xiao Yuan smiled politely, and when Xie Lanyin's master and servant came up, he picked up the chopsticks.

The noodles were still very hot, but Xie Lanyin was too hungry. She stirred it up and hurriedly picked up one and pouted her mouth and blew it lightly.

Xiao Yuan sat opposite her and looked at her when he heard the movement. He happened to see the little girl pouting her rosy lips. The ridiculous scene in the dream that night appeared in her mind without warning. Xiao Yuan quickly lowered his eyes, and his face was not stopped, but the smell disappeared in his mouth.

He was nineteen and had a dream at the age of fourteen or five. He was vague and could only guess what he did through the traces on the bedding after waking up. Only those two dreams of her were dreaming of her. Not only did he remember her appearance, but he also remembered every scene, especially the sound of her calling him...

Soul cartilage.

A bowl of pasta was not delicious, and after the meal, Xiao Yuan sent Ge in to check out, "I should invite this meal thanks to the young master."

Xie Lanyin did not refuse the small account worth tens of cents.

Walking out of the noodle shop, Ge Jin and Lu Chi walked behind their respective children, one showing joy and the other having a slightly locked eyebrows.

Xiao Yuan wanted to listen to the little girl, but he didn't take the initiative to chat. Xie Lanyin was reluctant to show that he was so happy to accompany him shopping, so he remained silent and turned to look at the fun on the roadside. The two of them had their own thoughts and did not feel embarrassed. Ge Jin was worried for the master. After walking for a while, he asked with a smile: "Do you have anything you really want to buy?"

They all left together, and there was no need for Xie Lanyin to hide it anymore. He looked ahead and replied: "I want to buy a hat and get a long sword."

On the road to Tongshan, I had a hat to hide the sun, a long sword... to decorate the storefront.

Ge Jin said in surprise: "Young master can still have kung fu?"

Xie Lanyin was slightly stunned and looked at the person next to her instinctively. Seeing that the man looked at him with a surprise, his face was hot for some reason, and he said casually: "I learned a trick from my father and I just practiced it myself." You can't tell them the truth, right?

Ge Jin believed it and excitedly found an opportunity for his master to get close to the beauty. "Young master is good at swords. Why don't you give me some advice?"

Xiao Yuan looked at the little girl's redder face, raised the corners of his lips, and asked her softly: "What do you think?"

Xie Lanyin shook her head without thinking and forced herself to smile, "Forget it, I don't dare to show my ugly face in front of Mr. Yuan."

Xiao Yuan glanced at the folding fan on her waist and understood that this girl liked to be stinky and beautiful.

Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw someone following him in the distance, and it was definitely not his secret guard. The smile in Xiao Yuan's eyes instantly dissipated.

Has his identity been exposed?

He quietly accompanied the little girl to visit several sword shops and helped her choose a woman's sword. Xiao Yuan found an excuse to say goodbye.

Instead of returning to the mansion, he went to a teahouse he had bought secretly.

After serving tea and savoring it carefully, about two quarters of an hour later, the secret guard who was on duty today walked in as a friend.

"I found out who it is?" Xiao Yuan asked, putting down the teacup, as if asking the accountant how it is today's investment.

The secret guard whispered: "Go back to the young master, after the young master left, I continued to follow him and found that the man's target should be the girl of the Xie family."

Ge Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and he said that the master was secretly acting and could not have exposed his whereabouts so quickly. Then he suspected that he would follow a thirteen-year-old girl? Could it be that he was targeted by a trafficker because of his outstanding appearance?

"Continue to follow. If the other party takes action today, it will be handled before Miss Xie notices it. Otherwise, find out the details and report it in time."

Xiao Yuan turned the teacup, his face was like a banished immortal, and his voice was as cold as the King of Hell.

She was so good that he couldn't even touch her. Who dared to be more arrogant than him?
