Go back 10 years. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Xianyue, who was in her early teens at the time, slapped her head in her own room every day, holding a paintbrush in her hand, and concentrating on her fascinating way of painting, but this also made Nalan Zhang and Mu Miaoyuan, who were parents, a little nerve-wracking.
At a young age, it's good to have such a persistent love, but you can't get into it, if you accidentally become a painting nerd in the future, how can it be good?
So the two discussed carefully for a few days, and finally decided to send it to the side of Yu Xingyun, the court qinist around Liangtai, to practice the long qin.
For new things, children are new in the end. Xianyue goes back and forth every day, but she also has some interest in learning the piano. But if you talk about the biggest fun of this trip, for Xianyue, who has rarely gone out since she was a child, it is nothing more than watching the market on the way when she goes back and forth every day.
And because of this, in the dark, God let her meet Jiang Li.
It was an early summer evening, and after a long day of dark clouds, it finally rained bitterly. But it was precisely because of this torrential rain that the paulownia wheel of the bronze divine bird car luan, which Xianyue was riding from the beam platform, fell deep into the mud and could not move for half a minute.
So the accompanying servants had no choice but to lead Xianyue and take a short rest in the small post house where they could shelter from the rain.
Xianyue, who has been pampered since childhood, has never seen such a place, so from the moment she entered, her smart and clear beautiful eyes looked at this small three-story post house with interest.
The inn is obviously a little old, and the dΓ©cor and ornaments are certainly clean and tidy, but they are inevitably a little old. Its second and third floors are mostly used as guest rooms, and the first floor is for travelers to eat and drink. There were merchants who got up and hurried away after eating, old women who carried firewood on their backs and begged for sales from the shopkeepers, and groups of musicians who were showing up in groups......
The servants of Nalan Mansion naturally didn't dare to give Xianyue a star of food and tea here, so they restored their sleeves and gave the store a tael of silver, and picked a private seat on the east side for Xianyue to rest for a while.
Just as Xianyue sat down calmly, she suddenly heard a hurried scolding sound not far away.
I saw that the shopkeeper was waving the handkerchief in his hand, and pointed to a thin figure in ragged clothes in the corner proudly, "Let's go, why are you still here, you little Hanako, don't think anything crooked about us here, otherwise I won't personally unload your dirty hands, master!"
And the boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old slowly raised his head in his voice, and there was an unconcealable pride in his tone.
"I'll take shelter from the rain and I'll be gone. β
The shopkeeper's spit flew straight away, and his indignant expression seemed to be eager to devour the life in front of him, "What will happen for a while, get out of me now, it's dirty, don't get in the way of our restaurant's business!"
"Good. β
Hearing this, the young man did not make the slightest noise, but bowed his head slightly, and then turned away and threw himself into the pouring rain outside the door.
"Wait. β
Xianyue had never seen such a situation of bullying the weak with the strong, and at this time, his heart was full of anger, and he suddenly got up and ignored the shouts of the servants behind him, and ran towards the little boy who was about to step out of the house.
She ran so fast, and for the first time she ignored the curious glances cast by her surroundings.
The young man also followed the sound and stopped, and then looked back in a daze, only to see an equally thin little figure approaching him quickly, her pale blue clothes like a fresh and faint Su Lian, fluttering away with the eager running.
At this moment, Xianyue finally met the young man's proud and silent eyes, but at that moment, she couldn't help but gasp fiercely.
She had never seen a man in the world have such terrifying eyebrows!
His eyebrows, slender and raised, seem to be above the top of the world's fireworks, his eyes are cold and quiet, with an innate indifference and arrogance. It was as if with just a glance from him could take away the most beautiful glory of this vast world.
Looking at this jade-like face, Xianyue secretly sighed in her heart that her cousins, who had always been called dignified, were too dwarfed.
So in the next second, she scratched her head a little embarrassed, and involuntarily said, "Why don't you sit with me first, and then ......leave when the rain stops."
The accompanying servants looked at each other, but no one dared to come forward to persuade them.
After all, this is the second lady they pee about!
Suddenly, hearing this, the young man's slender eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and he carefully looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. Seeing that she was like a beautiful orchid, her appearance was exquisite, her clothes were also extravagant, and there were dozens of men and women accompanying her domestic servants, and at a glance, she knew that she came from a large family in Shengjing City.
So after hesitating for a moment, the boy finally said softly, "Thank you." β
"You're welcome," Xian Yueyin half-clenched his fist with Xiu under his sleeve, and led him to his seat with a little shyness, "By the way, can I know your name?"
The young man's face was stunned, and he stared at Xianyue quietly, and said indifferently, "My surname is Jiang, and my single name is Yili." β
"Jiang Li, Jiang Li," Xianyue thought carefully, only to feel that the tip of her tongue was beautiful, as if the clear spring reflected the moon, all clear and clean, "Your name is so beautiful......"
"Hmm. β
Jiang Li's expression was faint, as if he didn't want to answer again.
Xianyue was not annoyed, a pair of small hands quietly rested on the wooden table to support her cheeks, and looked at Jiang Li with a timid expression. The most annoying thing about her since she was a child was grandstanding, but she liked the cold and lonely appearance of the person in front of her.
"My name is Xianyue, Nalan Xianyue. β
"Hmm. β
Although Xianyue was not very old at that time, seeing that Jiang Li was still sitting upright and didn't want to say much, she also felt a little brushed away, so she had to turn her face away. But in the next moment, something suddenly came to her mind, so she hurriedly called a servant nearby to go to the car to fetch a dazzling box of pastries for her.
After the mandarin duck mahogany food box was served, she opened the box with a smile, took out an almond cake from it without hesitation, and then pushed the large food box in front of Jiang Li.
"I'm a little hungry, let's eat together. β
has always been as steady and self-contained as Jiang Li, looking at the exquisite delicacies in front of him that he hadn't seen for too long, and finally couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly. But even so, he was ashamed to accept gifts from others.
Seeing that the person on the other side was still not moving, Xianyue was worried that he would say thank you and refuse in the next second, so she hurriedly took the lead and handed him the almond crisp she was holding in her hand.
"I'm sorry, but the pastries are a little cold, and they may not taste good. But it's all made by my mother, so why don't you try it and see how my mother does it?"
Xiao Xianyue said that Jiang Li was embarrassed to make excuses again. Then he carefully raised his hand and took the fragrant almond crisp from his small, white and slender hands.
He took it very carefully, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally stain the delicate little hand on the other side.
Jiang Li eats very carefully and fragrantly, but his eating appearance is not greedy, and he has an excellent tutor since he was a child.
"It was delicious. β
"Then you can eat more!" When I go back and tell my mother that someone praises her for her good craftsmanship, she will be very happy......" Xianyue's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she looked at Jiang Li, who had already relaxed her vigilance against her, "By the way, is your home nearby? Why don't I send you back in a while?"
Jiang Li's expression suddenly turned cold, and his dark eyes also contained sadness that could not be concealed.
"My home is too far away to go back. β
Hearing this, Xianyue's soft and beautiful little face was suddenly filled with surprise and sympathy. So in the next moment, she looked at Jiang Li without thinking and said, "If you don't have a place to go, why don't you go home with me?"
The air around her seemed to freeze in an instant, and the servants of the Nalan family who were standing silently beside Xianyue all gasped, and even Jiang Li, who had been indifferent to her mood before, looked up at her in disbelief.
"Really, is that okay?"
Xianyue smiled like a flower.
As long as it is something that she Nalan Xianyue believes, in the Taishi Mansion, of course, there is no reason that cannot be worked!
So after that, the young Jiang Li began his career of boarding in Nalan Mansion.
Fortunately, Xianyue's biological mother Mu Miaoyuan is an extremely kind person, seeing that he has a pitiful background, and it is difficult for Xianyue to have no companion of the same age in the house, so she also treats him as half a son. Not only did he allow him to paint with Xianyue's classmates on weekdays, but he also asked people to clean up an elegant courtyard near the Yueyue Building where Xianyue lived for him to live alone.
Rising and falling, time blessed, and the years were quiet, Jiang Li accompanied Xianyue through the most carefree three years of her life.
And the innocence and beauty of all this were shattered by her cousin, whose parents died and was named the lord of Tianmin County, lived in the Taishi Mansion.
Nalan Yunshi, the lord of the Heavenly Compassion Group, is the only daughter of the late Huaihua general Nalan Fa, and has been spoiled by the family since she was a child. Now that there have been sudden changes in the family, and he was adopted by his former uncle and aunt, he can't help but have an unbalanced mentality at a young age, and he has to be compared with Xianyue everywhere.
Fortunately, Xianyue has never been a calculating master, and she doesn't mind being compared to this cousin in terms of clothing and accessories all over her body.
But there is one place where the rhyme can't be compared, and it can't be taken away.
That is Jiang Li, who has long been inseparable from Xianyue.
At first, Yun Shi begged Mu Miaoyuan to transfer Jiang Li away from Xianyue's side, but Xianyue was not a submissive lord, how could she act on her will? So within a few days, Yun Shi began a hunger strike to protest. In the end, Xianyue and Jiang Li couldn't resist Mu Miaoyuan's bitter appeal, so they decided that Jiang Li had to play with Yunshi for three or two hours every day.
But Yunshi was still not satisfied, she always felt that this little brother's warm eyes only belonged to her cousin and not to herself. So within two or three months, she proposed to exchange places with Xianyue, and she wanted to live closer to Jiang Li!
The soft-hearted Mu Miaoyuan is no match for Xiao Yunshi's daily soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she went to her husband who was entangled in trivial matters to discuss. Nalan Zhang also knew that this move was very unfair to his daughter, but after all, Yun Shi was the only blood left in the world by his younger brother who died young, and he didn't want Nalan Faquan to have regrets in his heart......
And the parents' endless spoiling and accommodation of Yun Shi finally angered Xianyue, who repeatedly backed down. She quietly asked someone to send a letter to her aunt in the palace, saying that she wanted to go to her place to avoid her for a while.
So, when the gilded car Luan who was driven in the palace arrived, she resolutely left her words with her parents.
When she returns, if Yingyuelou is not there, then even if she is a rough palace maid in the palace, she will not take a step back to the Taishi's mansion.
But she never expected that when she returned, everything was as usual in Yueyuelou, but there was no Jiang Li at home who got along with her day and night!
It turned out that Mu Miaoyuan couldn't sleep day and night, worried that for a long time, the two sisters would inevitably be separated. So she talked to Jiang Liche for a day with tears in her eyes, and gave him a full carriage and horses, and asked him to go to her brother Mu Zhaokun, who was stationed in Jiangnan.
When Xianyue heard this situation at first glance, she couldn't speak, and the tribute melons and fruits that she brought back to Jiang Li from the palace fell to the ground in an uproar. Then she didn't even set foot in the Invitation Tower, she turned back and got into the carriage and horse from the palace, and stared at her weak mother with a look of loss that she had never had before.
And leave a sentence when she finds Jiang Li back, she will go home when she wants.
On the bustling way back to the palace, she leaned alone on the corner of the car sobbing and quietly opened a letterhead that Fang Cai Yuelan secretly handed her when she was unprepared.
That's her Jiang Li's brother's handwriting!
"Xiaoyue, I don't know when I will return. I only hope you remember that in this life and this life, I will do my best to meet you again. β
Xianyue, who was thirteen years old at the time, finally tasted the joys and sorrows of life for the first time.
But after half a year in the palace, Jiang Li still has no news. She gradually changed from being hopeful at the beginning to being discouraged at the end.
Later, she gradually learned from her aunt that it was not that the family had not sent someone to look for her, but Jiang Li did not seem to have gone south to join her uncle from beginning to end.
It's good like this, the world is so big, where can she find her brother Jiang Li again?
