Jiang Lianjia was wandering alone in this large piece of Merlin.

In this place, she didn't want to accept the inexplicable kindness from Xue Yiying, nor did she want to form a gang with a group of people who had also just entered the circle of noble girls, let alone go to great lengths to please anyone.

Those noble ladies don't look down on her sluggish appearance, and the rest of the people don't think much of her, it's boring.

She just wanted to open her eyes and see what kind of place Xue Yiying was born in. Out of some kind of emotion that I can't let go.

After taking a closer look like this, I found that the layout of the Xue Mansion and the Ding'an Mansion is very similar, with an area of land, architectural style, and garden scenery that are damn similar.

She let out a deep breath of depression, trying to calm herself. The mansions of such magnates, not to mention the houses of the imperial gift, should all be from the handiwork of the same craftsmen, and there is nothing to worry about.

However, this is not the kind of place she lives.

That's why Ah Yan will never forget her like that? Because they are the same kind of people?

She bit her lip, and a plum blossom fell on her shoulder, and before she could pat it off, a cold wind blew off, blowing off the petals and almost blowing her tears down.

"Ripple...... Jia ......" A slightly hesitant voice sounded behind her.

Her feet froze, not moving.

This voice is something she has listened to for decades, and even the intonation is so familiar that she can immediately imitate it.

She tilted her head slightly, pushing back the tears.

The people behind him saw that she didn't react, so they approached step by step.

She slowly turned her head, and immediately met the eyes that were so bright that even the stars lost color.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

It's been a long time...... It's been a long time since I've seen these eyes...... More often than not, it is gray and invisible, as if it is just holding on to a breath to live, and there is not even a thousandth of the light and ambition in the eyes now.

She bit her lip and forced herself to be indifferent, looking puzzled: "Who is this son?" ”

Lian Jingqian was a little stunned.

Last time at the door of Jiang's house, she clearly saw that she was frightened, and hurriedly hid in, why did she not know herself in front of her?

"I'm Lian Jingqian, your cousin of the Lian family, do you remember?" Still suppressed the doubts in his heart, and introduced himself with a smile.

Jiang Lianjia showed a sudden look on his face, and said with a smile: "No wonder it feels familiar, it turns out to be my cousin." He looked at it again and said with a smile: "The last time we met, we were all children, and in a blink of an eye, my cousin looked so tall and handsome." ”

Lian Jingqian secretly thought to herself, maybe she was frightened when she saw someone else or something last time, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm, so she also said, "Isn't it?" I haven't seen each other in more than ten years...... You've grown into a big girl, and you're so beautiful. ”

The conversation between the two people is like that of ordinary cousins, natural and generous.

Lian Jingqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's hard to meet, why don't you sit down and have a good chat?" ”

She glanced at the stone table over there, saw that there seemed to be a few maids passing by outside the forest, and said with a smile: "Cousin, let's sit there for a while, and I'll go and ask the maid to bring a pot of tea." She smiled and handed the stove in her hand to Lian Jingqian to hold, and turned her head out of Merlin.

Lian Jingqian nodded, secretly marveling at the delicate and delicate nature of this cousin.

He thought that under the strictness of the Jiang family, Lianjia looked dignified and elegant on the surface, and on the inside she would be like the timid and inferior little family Jasper, but he didn't expect to be very happy and comfortable talking to her.

So he sat down, smiled and shook his head. Sure enough, my grandmother's eyesight is the best, she sees people very accurately, and she does not rely on prejudice.

After a while, Jiang Lianjia came back with a tray with a pot of tea, two teacups, and a plate of pastries.

She sat down, put the stove on the table on her side, and skillfully poured two cups of tea, one of which was handed to Lian Jingqian.

Lian Jingqian took it, his knuckles were a little white due to the cold wind, but he just put down the teacup and didn't drink it.

"Cousin, this is the mayu tea I specially wanted, you taste it, it should taste good." Seeing this, she smiled and spoke.

Lian Jingqian was stunned for a moment, lifted the cup and smelled it, sure enough, the taste was very familiar, it was Mayu tea good.

"How do you know I like this tea?" He was a little stunned.

"Huh? Does my cousin like it? She blinked, a little surprised: "I happened to taste it a few days ago, and I thought it tasted good, thinking that the Xue family was a big family, and there should be this kind of rare tea, so I asked for a pot, which unexpectedly met my cousin's wishes." ”

Lian Jingqian bowed his head.

Mayu tea is indeed very rare, not because it is precious and rare, but because the tea itself is scarce, coupled with the complex brewing process and the taste is not liked by the public, and it is not widely spread.

He was reluctant to drink any other tea because he had tasted it once when he was young, but it was rarely available except from the big tea merchants or interested nobles. So with the passage of time, it has become more sand in my heart, which is hard to forget, and I don't want to try it.

The pastries brought by Lian Jia were actually his favorites, but he didn't want to drink tea, so he didn't taste the pastries, who knew that she could bring Mayu tea, which really made her happy.

I smiled and tasted it.

It's still a familiar taste, fresh and thick, with a honey scent, and the soup color is also so clear that people are happy.

He quietly looked at the girl opposite him and smiled about the effects of this tea, and his mood slowly relaxed.

Maybe grandmother is right, Jiang Lianjia, it looks really suitable for herself.

With the same taste, the same personality, and a very family-style gesture, as a candidate for a wife, it is indeed a very ideal candidate.

He picked up a piece of pastry, smiled and turned his head to look at Lianjia, and was about to speak, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of something and was stunned.

Jiang Lianjia also turned his head and followed his gaze.

I saw a man and a woman just turn away, the man was wearing a dark four python robe, and the woman was wearing a red dress and a crane outside, walking on the cobblestone road leading to the exit of Merlin.

Perhaps the road was a little slippery, the woman didn't stand firm for a while, and tilted to the side, and the man next to her hurriedly grabbed her and pulled her back.

From Lian Jingqian's point of view, the image is that the whole person is surrounded by Li Yun, and when he raises his head, he has a playful smile on his face, which is as beautiful as a fire in winter.

His heart was inexplicably stabbed.

Jiang Lianjia saw in his eyes, the contact between the two people was just a moment, but his eyes were very gray, just like the look in his eyes for countless days and nights in his previous life, which made people sad to the point of despair.

And she, as if she was ridiculously trying to make one last attempt, was quickly crushed by the heavy snow as soon as she had just kindled her hope, as if she were acting in a one-man show.
