With a creak, the door slammed shut.

When Bai Ying entered the house, a summer bamboo curtain just hung down from the hall, separating the two from each other.

As a result, Bai Ying could only vaguely see the woman in the blue shirt and purple skirt on the upper seat, with a cloud beard and a crow sideburn with a fallen bun, a slanted hairpin with a branch of emerald magnolia, thin rouge, and a graceful attitude, although she couldn't see the specific eyebrows and eyes, but the whole body was elegant and boundless, like the muscles and bones moistened from the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the first glance, it is the smoke willow supporting the wind, the second glance is the vast Dongting, and the third glance is the green mountain and the proud bones.

And Xin Yi could only vaguely see the dusty servants standing under the hall, and the woman with mud on the corner of her skirt.

At the eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes and veins, even if the curtain is separated, you have to see the scorching, especially the ingenious butterfly flower at the corner of the eye, which is more like a butterfly to play fragrant, and the bones are natural.

A snow-white Luo skirt that is very different from the Central Plains, from head to toe, without a trace of variegation, pure as white clouds in the sky, even the air on the side of the woman seems to be clear, not stained with any dust in the world.

Not here.

This was the first thought that popped into Xin Yi's mind.

Rival.

This was the second thought that popped into Xin Yi's mind.

Xin Yi just looked at Bai Mao through the curtain, looked carefully, and didn't speak, only secretly straightened some crooked hairpins.

And Bai Ying also looked at Xin Yi seriously, trying his best to see through the curtain to see the latter's true face, and quietly darkened his eyes.

Neither of them spoke first. Cui Fei and Xiang Pei on the side didn't dare to breathe, but at the same time, they felt that these two people were standing together, how to look good.

A green mountain and a white cloud, a hundred flowers are graceful, no equal.

For a long time, it was not until the bamboo curtain and the shadow were dazzling that Xin Yi, as the landlord, broke the stagnation first.

"Shunning Junjun, Bai Ying, fortunately. ”

"Huai'an Junjun, Xin Yi, fortunately. ”

Bai Ying immediately answered, did not act according to the rules of the Central Plains at all, and did not even perform the peer salute for the county monarch, and directly opened the skylight and said bright words.

"It's not uncommon for me to give a marriage decree! It's not my intention, the emperor is stubborn, don't misunderstand you and him!"

"Oh?" Xin Yi spat out a word, with an inexplicable sour taste, "Not rare?"

Bai Ying bit his lower lip, swiped through the struggle, and said in a clear voice: "The man I Bai Ying wants to marry will have the same heart as me! How can there be a warm-hearted person who is cold and cold, I haven't practiced myself like this! I don't care how the officials and masters fight, no one can have the final say in my Bai Ying's marriage except myself!"

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little inexplicable: "What do you mean?"

"Bai Ying likes Jiang Li! Don't change a word!" Bai Ying's jaw was slightly raised, and he didn't shy away from it.

Xin Yi's face turned red, and then turned blue. The dragonfly and the incense pendant directly avoided their heads.

These three people have never seen a woman from the Han family, who just talked about men and women, they just dug their hearts like this.

I don't know if it's a barbarian who is less civilized and doesn't know ethics, or if the other girl is heart-wrenching and doesn't know her ethics.

Xin Yi stopped speaking for a while. It seems to have fallen into some contemplation, and his eyes are puzzled, and he almost dug a hole in the bamboo curtain.

Bai Yingqiao stood alive and said to herself: "The people of the Central Plains said that the holy decree is difficult to disobey, I understand. But I don't want to be caught between you for the rest of my life, and I should panic. I also know that the person he usually doesn't even dare to mention by name is you. He is in a weak heart, he is avoiding, he is hesitating, and it probably has something to do with what kind of mountain and what beauty......"

"He told you this?"

Xin Yi interrupted suddenly, and his heart tingled for a moment.

Bai Ying was stunned for a moment and blinked: "...... Which one?"

"Jiangshan is still a beauty. Xin Yi clenched the brocade handkerchief in his hand, and his knuckles turned white.

"Yes, yes, that's it! I just entered the Shu formation, and I said a few words to him!" Bai Ying patted his head and remembered clearly, "I said more than half of my own opinions at the time, and I don't know if he listened to it." Anyway, he has been hovering on this choice, often not eating or drinking, just thinking about it in a daze, like a dream. There is also a man named Fengxian in the Lang, and the two of them often get together, tangled and entangled, and I don't know if they finally got the answer......"

Bai Ying was still chattering, but Xin Yi couldn't listen to anything.

Because from the half sentence "He has been hovering in this choice", her mind boomed and became blank.

Bai Ying didn't know, but she knew that the answer: he probably chose Jiangshan.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have avoided it for more than a month, and there was no news at all, just because he broke the secret of his identity and became a mistake that might ruin his chess game.

It only takes a moment to lose all the games if you make a mistake.

And it will only take a month to go from the executioner to the people on both sides of the river.

Rejoice when it is useful, give up when it is useless, and resolutely act as if nothing has happened, but what is trapped in it is an unaware chess piece.

It is not the chess player who dreams, but the chess piece.

It's time to wake up.

……

"Huai'an Junjun!" Bai Ying's continuous call pulled Xin Yi back from his distraction.

Xin Yi trembled all over, and found that his hands were shaking so badly that he had to hold his palms to suppress the sourness that swelled up on the tip of his nose.

She opened her lips, wanting to respond to Bai Ying, not wanting to lose her manners, but she couldn't say anything, and all her strength seemed to be exhausted.

Bai Ying finally noticed the abnormality, and pursed his lips in embarrassment: "Did I say something wrong...... I've just been here for a short time, so I don't know what you guys are...... Jiang Li always said that I was rude......"

Jiang Li's two words came out of Bai Yi's mouth, and it was extremely harsh, and he pierced Xin Yi's cochlea like a small sword, thinking of the outspoken sentence "Bai Li likes Jiang Li" before, Xin Yi's face turned even bluer.

"It's not wrong...... Xin Yi paused, and his tone suddenly became unkind, "No one will be at fault with a passerby." ”

Noble words, obvious chill.

Bai Ying was not stupid, and immediately heard the hostility in his words, and coughed twice: "Even if I ...... But it is also a decree of God...... I'm afraid that I will ...... to my son in the future."

The two words of Childe were spoken naturally by Bai Ying, but they were heard by Xin Yi very well.

"Where's Childe? Xin Yi interrupted abruptly, and his gaze behind the bamboo curtain revealed a chill.

"Childe?" Bai Ying was stunned.

"What is the determination of the childe, I will find an answer, why bother you to think and plan. Xin Yi paused word by word, and the words seemed to burst out from between his teeth.

Bai Ying bit his lip and said weakly: "...... I know, I didn't intend to meddle...... But now there is no trace of the child, and I have been waiting for him in the city for several days, but I have not seen him enter the city...... He set off earlier than me, so I don't know where to turn halfway......"

Xin Yi's heart sank, and she forced herself to suppress an instinctive uneasiness, she believed that people like him, no one dared to block his way, unless it was him.

He himself did not want to go into the city, did not want to come to see her, did not want to come and give her an explanation in person.

Jiangshan and beauty, chess game and friendship, he is not only turning the road halfway, but he is afraid that he will turn the road for the rest of his life.

……

Xin Yi was distracted again. Thinking of him, she couldn't breathe, and the golden light in front of her eyes was rising, one moment it was Bai Ying, and the other time it was Jiang Li.

I can't see it clearly. Silently, his eyes were red.

Seeing that Xin Yi didn't squeak, Bai Ying took the initiative to explain: "I originally planned to come to see you with him and explain the matter of Bai Gui's marriage." I didn't want to wait for him in the city for a few days and I didn't see him, I couldn't bear it, so I came to you first. Why might he have been delayed on the way, why don't you wait, wait?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait. I'm tired of hearing this word. ”

Xin Yi hung his head weakly, smiled coldly, and the tip of his heart hurt like a thousand knives.
