47. Chapter 47
It was light and Xie Lanyin lay on the bed, fiddling with the six dried dates on the head of the bed to play with it.
She knew that red dates nourish qi and blood, but would it be useful for falling into water and getting cold?
Why did he send seven?
Did you grab a handful of it or count it carefully?
Imagine the man sitting at the table counting dates, Xie Lanyin gently bit his lip.
Maybe he really likes her a little?
After all, if he just wanted to coax her to help him with his work, he would choose expensive gifts to win her over, rather than something that costs a few cents.
Before the parrot Sangzhi came in to serve, Xie Lanyin wrapped a few dates with a handkerchief and hid it, and asked the parrot to bring some dried dates.
There are dried dates in the kitchen, and the parrot quickly returned, and he also thoughtfully advised Xie Lanyin: "Eating it too sweet early in the morning is easy to get tired of it. Girls, eat a few less."
Xie Lanyin nodded and asked them to go down. She closed the door, then took out the handkerchief, put the six dates into the plate, and then put them down, but found that the few that Xiao Yuan gave him were very large and more round, and it was obvious that they were not caught in the same basket.
Xie Lanyin wanted to laugh for some reason.
Then he ate all six dates in one breath so that the maids would not see that something was wrong.
I ate too much sweetness. During breakfast, Xie Lanyin only drank a bowl of mushroom porridge without moving the bean paste buns on the plate.
After dinner, she still went to her cousin's wife to tease her cousin's niece. When Rongrong was sleepy and wanted to sleep, Xie Lanyin said goodbye and walked back. Then she arrived at the gate of Yaoyue Pavilion. Jiang sent a little maid to invite her, saying that the Meng family and her daughter were visiting her.
Xie Lanyin had no choice but to turn towards her mother, thinking secretly on the way.
Yesterday she only thought about going to Meige to investigate the situation, but the rest were not concerned. After listening to her sister's reminder, she also felt something was wrong with Shen Miao. If her father had a concubine, she wished she would never see the concubine, so why would she take the initiative to invite the guest there? Unless it was a particularly serious injury, it needed to be cleaned up in time.
The three of them didn't know what Shen Miao was going to do, but the noble lady of the Marquis's family didn't have to really get along with each other.
In the Xiangyuan room, Shen Miao stood beside Meng. When she saw Xie Lanyin turn in, she quickly greeted her, pulled Xie Lanyin's hand and looked at her carefully, and said happily: "It's great, Lanyin is fine, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. You don't know how long I had been worried last night, but I'm afraid that you will be ill."
"It's not that precious? Miaomiao underestimates me too much." Xie Lan's ability to betray her is not bad, and she smiled and treated her politely.
The two little girls went back to their mother and sat down.
Meng looked at the door and asked Jiang curiously: "Why is Lanqiao not here?"
Jiang smiled, "I've gone to the shop. Today, a new batch of antiques came to the shop where I was sailing. She insisted on following her to see the world."
Meng was disdainful, but he praised Xie Lanqiao for being capable and even knows antiques.
After his mother finished speaking, Shen Miao warmly invited Xie Lanyin, "Lanyin, I want to go to the suburbs the day after tomorrow. I agreed to go with you last time. Then I will come to your house to find you?"
Xie Lanyin didn't want to accompany her anymore, pretending to be about to agree, but suddenly remembered something, and said regretfully: "Last night, my third cousin said that I accompanied me to Dacien Temple to burn incense..."
"It's okay, what about Eleven?" Shen Miao looked at her expectantly, as if she really wanted to run with Xie Lanyin, and was willing to wait until Xie Lanyin had time.
The Shen family is a local snake in Shaanxi. Xie Lanyin wants to do something that will offend Shen Jie slightly after revealing the stuff. At this time, Shen Miao repeatedly wanted to invite her. Xie Lanyin couldn't show too obvious alienation, so she showed a gleeful smile, "Okay, who are you taking? I want to call my third cousin with me. He taught me to ride my horse. I dare to ride it with him."
Jiang nodded and looked at the two little girls and said, "We are not at ease if you two go."
Chen Miao glanced at his mother and smiled and said, "Well, I'll ask my elder brother to accompany me."
So what if you scream? There is a difference between men and women. Brothers will never follow her all the time. She has her own way to make Xie Lanyin look ugly.
My daughter agreed happily, and Meng thought about it and then immediately made plans.
At that time, she asked the eldest son to take care of his younger son, so that the eldest son would have no intention of provoking Xie Lanqiao.
After discussion, it was time to reach the tenth day of the New Year.
Of course, Xie Lanqiao had to follow her when her sister went out because she was riding a horse, and both of them were wearing men's clothes.
"Lanyin follows your sister, don't compete with her." Jiang asked worriedly, holding her belly that had been around for almost seven months.
Xie Lanyin nodded obediently.
Jiang Huaizhou promised, "Don't worry, aunt, I will look at Lan Yin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little maid outside rushed over and said that the Shen brothers and sisters were here.
Jiang Huaizhou said goodbye to his aunt and led his two cousins out.
In front of the Jiang family, Chen Yingshi was wearing a gray robe and stood with his third brother Chen Yingming. Chen Miao wore a bright red horse outfit, bright and ostentatious. Seeing that the sisters of the Xie family were all dressed up as young as a boy, she was delighted. She must have been more outstanding in her makeup than Xie Lanyin.
Chen Yingming looked at Xie Lanyin and looked straight, and quietly said to his brother: "Brother, this sister is also beautiful!"
Chen Yingshi knew who the third brother was talking about, but his eyes fell more on Xie Lanqiao. Seeing her coming like a man with a generous smile, he couldn't help but see in his mind that day, she was wearing a green skirt and a jade hairpin was simply inserted on her head, like a willow Tingting.
It is said that women in the south of the Yangtze River are gentle, while girls in the northwest are cheerful, but they are both cute and straightforward.
He couldn't help but take a few more glances and looked away before Xie Lanqiao looked over.
Xie Lanqiao didn't notice it, but Xie Lanyin saw it. Because Chen Yingshi helped that day, she was grateful to her and paid more attention. Unexpectedly, she happened to run into the Prince Shen who peeped at her second sister, although his eyes were much more reserved and restrained than when Xue Jiu stared at her elder sister.
Does Chen Yingshi like his second sister?
Xie Lanyin was a little excited, but after seeing Chen Miao, the excitement faded.
Xue Jiu is alone, they know the roots and bottom of the situation. Chen Yingshi's family is so complicated that it may not be suitable for his sister.
After saying hello, everyone got on the horse.
The three girls were walking in front, and Chen Yingshi rode with his younger brother, watching the pedestrian in front and talking to Jiang Huaizhou on the side.
They are all selected from thousands of people and are dressed in luxury. Walking on the street like this has attracted attention from passers-by. However, this is the northwest with open customs. It is common for girls to go out for a home, but no one is surprised that the girl's home is openly riding a horse on her way out, and most of them just look at the handsome men and beautiful women on the horse.
Xie Lanyin got used to it and chatted and laughed calmly with her sister.
Thinking of the people rushing towards the city gate from the south, from afar, Xie Lanyin was surprised. When she looked up, she saw a familiar figure riding a familiar dark horse and walking from the crowd. Her cold temperament and outstanding appearance were more effective than any identity. The people in front of her spontaneously gave in.
Unable to explain why, Xie Lanyin lowered his head slightly and grabbed the reins, hoping that he did not see him.
"Brother Yuan!" Jiang Huaizhou behind him didn't know what his little cousin was thinking, and when he saw his friend, he called out loud.
Xiao Yuan had already turned toward the city gate. When he heard Jiang Huaizhou calling him, his lips raised, he looked up, and stopped his horse in surprise. When several people walked up to him, he quickly glanced. His eyes paused on the little girl's clothes hiding beside Xie Lanqiao, and then turned to Jiang Huaizhou and said, "What a coincidence, I met again."
Behind him, Lu Jun had no expression on his face, as if he didn't know that his master came by deliberately meeting a beauty. It was because of his calmness that Xiao Yuan only took him out and left Ge Jin to feed the birds in the mansion.
"Yes," Jiang Huaizhou responded and introduced Chen Yingshi to him, "This is the prince of the Marquis of Pingxi."
Xiao Yuan looked at Chen Yingshi and bowed politely, neither humble nor arrogant, "Good to know."
Jiang Huaizhou introduced him in turn.
Chen Yingshi just nodded.
Jiang Huaizhou looked at the two of them and suddenly laughed. Then he wanted to joke that they looked like brothers, both of whom were cold-hearted. He remembered Chen Yingshi's identity, swallowed the words in time, and signaled everyone to go out of the city gate together. When he learned that Xiao Yuan was also going to the suburbs to relax, he naturally invited him together.
Xiao Yuan deliberately walked behind Xie Lanyin.
Xie Lan was on his back, staring at the front of him without tilting his head to show him. Xie Lanqiao said a few words to his sister, and noticed that her sister was obedient and her face was a little red, as if she had become much more restrained all of a sudden, so she couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan smiled at her.
Xie Lanqiao smiled politely, looked at his sister again, thinking about something.
Of course there was nothing between her and Xiao Yuan. Chen Yingshi misunderstood, his eyes changed slightly, and hesitated whether to say more to Xiao Yuan and understand each other. Chen Miao suddenly rode a horse and ran forward a few steps, then turned his head, headed towards Xie Lanyin, and asked with a smile: "There are fewer people here, do Lanyin dare to compete with me?"
Xie Lanyin was about to decline, but found that Chen Miao's beautiful eyes were staring behind her, and her chin was slightly raised. It was more confident than arrogant.
What confidence does she have?
Confident and beautiful, will the man she stares at be attracted to her?
Then did she succeed?
Xie Lanyin wanted to know, but she didn't want to look back. It seemed that she wanted the man to see that yes, but she was inexplicably unhappy and simply replied "Okay", then she clamped the horse's belly hard. The white horse received the order and rushed out like the wind.
What Chen Miao waited for was now, and she glanced at Xie Lanyin's handsome man unwillingly, and chased him like a fire with a whip.
"Brother, let's run away too!" Chen Yingming urged anxiously.
Chen Yingshi looked at Xie Lanqiao who had already set off and nodded. Unexpectedly, before he could exert force, someone next to him said "Take aside" lightly, and saw a dark horse breaking out like the wind.
Chen Yingshi frowned and immediately chased after him. As he chased him, he found that Xiao Yuan had crossed Xie Lan Bridge and headed forward. He was stunned and suddenly laughed.
What is he thinking about?
At the front, Xie Lanyin heard Chen Miao get closer and closer, pursing her lips and running faster, not wanting her to surpass her, but just ran for a while, and another sound of horse hooves suddenly approached. She turned around in surprise. Xiao Yuan just slowed down his horse speed and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, frowned and scolded her, "You are not familiar with riding a horse, run slowly."
Xie Lanyin could hear his concern, and the stuffiness in her chest suddenly dissipated. She turned her head and deliberately said with a tense face: "It turns out that you are not losing, you don't have to embarrass you."
Xiao Yuan liked her pouting and couldn't help saying, "I won't look at her even if she wins, I won't even look at her. If you lose, I will..."
Suddenly I realized that the following words were a bit too straightforward and wanted to say something else, but I saw her blushing and glanced over. I don’t know if it was shame or something, but it was the charming look he had seen before.
Xiao Yuan's heartbeat accelerated and he leaned against her by chance, "You lost, I only have you in my eyes."
I wanted to say that I would not take a look at it, but I changed it myself when I said it.
His eyes were burning, and Xie Lanyin's heart was like a white horse under him, and she couldn't deny her happiness. But thinking of so many people behind her, he leaned over in front of everyone else and misunderstood something. His face suddenly became hot, and he glared at him in anger, "I won't help you anymore!"
Run forward again.
Xiao Yuan stopped, her red peony-like little face in front of him, and Ge Jin's words in his ears,
"Young Master, you can't see clearly at night. Take a closer look during the day. If the fifth girl blushed by you, she will probably like you. But don't say the wrong thing and make the fifth girl blush..."
So this time you are angry or like it?
"Young Master Yuan, what did you say to Lanyin just now?"
A deep and mild panting sound came from behind. Xiao Yuan seemed to have not heard it, and he smiled and went to chase his "yellow oriole bird".
