The Begging Festival is a good day (IV)

The street was full of people, and there was still a lot of laughter on the North Pavilion, and when the fan passed by, he seemed to take a casual look, the woman called Xiangrong had left, and the fan didn't stop anymore, and went back to the city lord's mansion on the side.

Fanxin lives in the small courtyard in the west of the house, she doesn't like to be waited on, and only a cleaning maid called Xi'er is left in the courtyard. When Mixin returned to the courtyard, Xi'er sat in the hall and ate melon seeds alone, and when she saw Mixin coming in, she hurriedly welcomed her into the door, took the cloak she took off, poured a cup of hot tea for her diligently, and then hung the cloak and stood aside with her hands, as if she had something to say.

The tea was brewed by Xi'er counting the time, but today the fascination came back late, and the teapot was slightly warm, afraid that it would be too late, so he didn't brew another pot, but poured out some and mixed some hot water into it.

Fanxin took a sip and put it down, a little displeased, and glanced at Xi'er.

"Lord Fanxin..."Xi'er obviously didn't pay attention to this, she lowered her head and rolled her eyes twice, and after a long while, she finally couldn't help but speak, but was directly interrupted by Fanxin.

"Rebrew the tea, boil some hot water for bathing, and go," Mixin instructed to go to the study without looking back, leaving Xi'er, who was flushed, standing in place.

"Yes..."

The stove in the study was extinguished again, and the candle flame was only lit in front of the desk, illuminating the shadow in the room so heavy that it was a little overwhelming.

Today's desk is unusually clean, and on weekdays, Chi Xiaoming will always divide half or even half of the documents he receives to Fanxin, which is a bit strange. The fan went directly to Chi Xiaoming's study in the east of the courtyard, and saw a more abnormal scene, Chi Xiaoming supported his head with one hand, and idly flipped through the thin or thick booklet with the other hand, occasionally picked up the pen and drew casually twice, looking bored.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that Fascination came, he didn't show surprise and his tone was lazy.

"Sunset east, I'll take a look. Fan Xin walked to the desk, saw Chi Xiaoming scattered on the table and a pile of music piled on the auxiliary table, raised his eyebrows.

Chi Xiaoming instructed that he would take a day off today, put all the pieces in his study, and finish it himself. But when he walked leisurely into the study, he regretted it, knowing that the consequence of righteousness was his own sin, he hadn't dealt with so many affairs by himself for a long time, and he was not used to being idle, and he couldn't help but secretly say that it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Seeing that the main owner crashed in, and arrogantly made provocative remarks, he was hesitating whether to regret it in his heart, and the battle between heaven and man had not yet come to a result, Chi Xiaoming had to put down the pen calmly, hold his hands on his chest, and provoke back.

"How?"

"If you can't finish it, move some to my study," Seeing Chi Xiaoming like this, Fascinated felt a little interesting, and what he was thinking in his heart was clear at a glance. Seeing the messy desk that he tossed, he reached out to pick up the ink ingot, dripped two drops of water on the inkstone, and helped him grind it carefully, a little disgusted, "Your inkstone is almost dry..."

More than two years have passed, and the fascination has gradually become more and more marked, and he can no longer see the thin and small appearance he used to be, and he doesn't need to stand on the chair to grab the ink ingot with his whole hand to help him grind.

"Who said I couldn't finish it!" Chi Xiaoming stiffened.

"Oh, okay, then I'll go back and rest. "Obsessed grinding, yes, the expression is as focused as before.

"Who told you to rest!" Chi Xiaoming said angrily, waving his hand again and again, and sent her away,

"Today's begging festival, you go back to dress up, hurry up and go out to go around, today the young men of all families are there, go and see if there is anything you like, there are many sons in the city who love you, go and pick, ah, go and pick and choose, don't come back before the time comes!"

Since Chi Xiaoming wanted to return to the house, he has never returned home, but Chi Xiaoming occasionally asks someone to send something during the holidays, which can be regarded as expressing some condolences.

As for her brother, not long after returning to the City Lord's Mansion, he was transferred to do something more important than tidying up the room - buying items for the mansion, and the brother once thought that he was obsessed and thought about his brother, and he worked hard for him at first. But as the obsession became more and more important, he naturally regarded the obsession as his backer, and the backstage became hard, and it slowly swelled and became rampant.

Later, because he was full of his own pockets, he was thrown directly into the labor town and was not allowed to come out again for the rest of his life.

And Fanxin never intervened in this matter, such a scandalous thing happened, and the elders in the family had no face to ask the city lord for mercy because of this matter, so they could only secretly ask someone to pass a message to Mixin in private, hoping that she could plead with Chi Xiaoming for her brother, but there was no response from her side.

Originally, the eldest son of the family was on an errand beside the city lord, and it was an extremely decent thing to say it, even if it was just to do some unimportant chores, but to wait by the city lord's side, it meant that he could speak more or less in front of the city lord, and it was already a great thing to outsiders. The body of a man, if he is appreciated by the city lord one day, it is a brilliant future.

Compared with it, the fascination of being personally asked by the city lord to leave is much inferior, even if it is appreciated, it is just a woman, if you can't marry into the city lord's mansion, how much future can you have?

The eldest son's entry into the labor town has not turned around for a long time, and in front of outsiders, there is nothing to make them hard. After keeping a low profile for a while, when he received a gift from the city lord's mansion, the elders of the family were even more ashamed, and the eldest son had such a thing, and the city lord still gave him a gift regardless of the suspicions, which can only show that it was for the sake of the face of the fan that he did not treat their family coldly. Later, no one dared to come to the fan because of his brother's matter, and he no longer had any plans to send the other juniors in the family to the City Lord's Mansion.

In this way, we can only grasp the straw of obsession.

On weekdays, no one at home treats her affectionately, and now this huge change of attitude, the fascination is also too lazy to pay attention to it, from the fascination himself hit a wall, the elders in the family are also very aware of the current affairs to change the direction, and frequently talk to Chi Xiaoming: The fascination has also reached the age of Xu Jia's family, and the family is undecided for a day, and the family can't let go of it for a day. After all, Fanxin is the treasure in the palm of the whole family, and it is her blessing to be able to work under the city lord, but this family also hopes that the city lord can make decisions for Fanxin and settle down as soon as possible, which can be regarded as peace of mind for the elders in the family.

The woman is married to the golden hairpin, and the cardamom is married, which is a conventional tradition. And this incident also made Chi Xiaoming a headache, and he was so cold that he didn't want to mention it, but the elders in her family said this to Chi Xiaoming after the accident with her brother Fanxin, and these words must have already spread all over Yibei City.

It's been more than two years, almost three years, and in the past few years, the fascination is not like other men.

As she gradually grew up, her appearance and beauty and temperament came out of the dust, and she was appreciated by the city lord at a young age, and she was in power in the city, which can be called a fan of both talent and appearance, and she had many admirers, but she couldn't look down on any of them.

Chi Xiaoming actually didn't want to marry someone in his heart. If he is obsessed with marrying a wife, it will be a little unreasonable to want her to do things for herself, and another reason is that in fact, he doesn't look down on those sons and young masters in the city who pursue obsession, and feels that these people are not worthy of fascination at all, so he doesn't want her to marry.

But it's not a good thing to drag on like this, if you still can't get married after the cardamom year, it will definitely have an impact on the reputation of the daughter's family.

If it really comes to that time, I am afraid that it will delay the fanxin, and the rumor must be that Chi Xiaoming is unwilling to marry the fanxin because he has long been interested in her, and he has made a decision to marry her to be the wife of the city lord from the beginning.

He wasn't afraid of rumors, he was afraid that after such rumors came out, no one would really dare to marry her, could it be that he really wanted to marry her?

"Uncle..."

Fanxin suddenly put down the ink ingot, reached out and pulled Chi Xiaoming's sleeve, called him weakly in a weak voice, and pursed his lips to look at him.

It's only when it comes to this matter that Fanxin calls him that.

Chi Xiaoming is more than a little bigger than the fan, when he licked his face and said that he wanted to be the brother of the fan, he was directly rejected by the young fanxin, and then the fanxin remembered it in his spare time, and he would occasionally call him uncle a few times when he was interested, at first Chi Xiaoming still resisted, and then he got used to it.

Fanxin is calling him like this, she is really unwilling to marry, but if Chi Xiaoming makes a decision to directly set a family affair for her, she will definitely not be able to refuse, and she can only strangle the sprouts at the root.

"It's useless, eldest niece daughter~" Chi Xiaoming replied to her funny, and sighed fakely as he spoke, "I don't want your uncle, but you still haven't married before your birthday next year, you may have to marry me in the future, you know?

“...”

Fanxin withdrew his hand, quickly retracted his weak eyes, and left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving only the black handprint on Chi Xiaoming's sleeve.

"My lord, the tea has been rebrewed, and the water for bathing has been prepared. Xi'er saw that she was fascinated by coming back from outside, and her face was even worse than that of Fang Cai, so she hurriedly bowed down cautiously, for fear that she would say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing and hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Well," Mi Xin's face was very bad, and after sitting down, he took the tea handed by Xi'er, "It's nothing, you can retreat." ”

"Yes!" said the fascinated heart, Xi'er was very happy in her heart, and replied more quickly, and after a bow, she was about to retreat.

"Wait,"

was happy, and was suddenly stopped by the fascination, Xi'er's heart tightened, isn't it that the fascination is about to change the hexagram?

Fanxin came out of the bedroom, took a small brocade box and put it on the table, pushed it in front of Xi'er, and said, "You don't need to borrow jewelry, take this, dress up and go out for a walk." ”

"It's... For me?" Xi'er asked in disbelief as she picked up the brocade box.

She was sent to wait for less than half a year, and the maid who had been on an errand here before told her that she was a very difficult person to get along with, and asked her to ask for more blessings, so she always thought so. In the past six months, she has been cautious in her affairs, for fear of offending her fancies, and she will be beaten and scolded and retaliated against. But in the past few days when she came to the West Courtyard, except for being reprimanded a few words, she didn't have any other encounters, and Xi'er only attributed this to what she did well and didn't make a big mistake.

This party was still reprimanded, but now what does it mean to give herself this brocade box? Give a slap to a sweet date? And how did she know that she was going to borrow jewelry from Xiaxia, the maid of the Southern Courtyard?

"Lord Fascination, this, this is too precious, if it is broken, Xi'er can't afford to pay for it!" Xi'er opened the brocade box suspiciously, there was a pair of vermilion hairpins and a pair of earrings inside, the workmanship was very exquisite, the butterfly carving on the hairpin was lifelike, and this material was very valuable at a glance. Xi'er shook her head again and again and pushed the brocade box back.

"If it's broken, it's broken, it's for you, take it well. Fanxin poured another cup of tea for himself and said, "When the tea is cold, brew it again, don't be lazy, you know it." ”

"Huh?" Xi'er didn't react at once, and after being stunned for a while, she hurriedly picked up the brocade box and replied yes again and again.

"It's almost over, why don't you go back and clean up?"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Mixin, Xi'er retires!" Xi'er bowed to Mixin and walked away.

After sitting for a while, he put down his teacup and walked to the bedroom.

It's time for her to take a bath and freshen up and go out, to see the people on the street, but which one has her wishful husband.
