Chapter 17: Confessions of Rejection

Between the salt ridges, Helian Jialu followed Yushi for a long time, and Yushi stopped and turned back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You've come so far, will you be able to find your way back in a while?" Helian Jialu asked as she looked around, seeing the same scenery.

"Follow me, how can you get lost. Yushi frowned, as if he was annoyed by Helian Jialu's lack of confidence in him.

"Now that you've got rid of them, you can always say it, what are you going to say?" Helian Jialu was still completely confused.

"Didn't you ask, why are they so busy that they want you to be guests? ”

"Hmm, why?"

"Because today they are not the protagonists. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Can't you see that King Fu and Youting admire each other?"

"Oh, it's to create opportunities for them to spend more time together. Helian Jialu suddenly realized.

"And ......"

"Huh?"

"I promise you something to consider, and I can't give you an affirmative answer. I can't marry Sister Chanyuan. Yushi looked directly at Helian Jialu and said slowly, "One reason is because Mu Yan told me that he likes Chanyuan. Another reason...... I have someone I like. What I like is you. ”

"What do you say...... Did I hear me wrong?" Helian Jialu was taken aback for a moment.

"You heard you right. Although you are very stupid, you don't understand this, you don't understand that, especially if you don't understand people, and you always like to raise the bar with me...... But I just like you, Helian Jialu. ”

"You're stupid, you like to raise the bar......" Helian Jialu retorted, then lowered his head and stopped speaking.

"I hope you understand, you're busy, it's not that I don't want to help, but I can't do it. Chanyuan's sister Bing Xue is smart, and she has already seen it, so she must not have thought of marrying me. Yu Shi looked into the distance and muttered.

"Since Chan'er knows, why don't you say it......"

"For we also know whose heart is on you. Tell you, isn't it only to increase your troubles? Yu Shi laughed dryly twice and laughed at himself, "If I hadn't been angry with you, I wouldn't have planned to say it." Now, you've got another trick to laugh at me......"

"Reputation. Helian Jialu interrupted Yu and whispered, "You and I have known each other since childhood, and we can roughly count it as two little guesses. Like you said, I'm always talking about it, we're noisy, and neither of us wants to give in to the other. But in my heart, I actually treat you as a good friend, a very good, very good friend. I...... Really didn't imagine it, and you ......"

"Well, I know. Yu Shi said lightly.

"But you have a saying that is wrong. ”

"Huh?"

"I won't laugh at you, how can I laugh? On the contrary, I am grateful to you, thank you for liking me. This affection warms my heart, and I will always remember it. ”

"Are you Helian Jialu?"

"What?"

"How could such gentle words be said by the dignified Helian County Lord?" Yu Shi said with a smile, trying to change the atmosphere.

"Okay, you can say it again!" Helian Jialu also tried to regain the feeling she had when she was bickering at Waiyu.

"Say it a few times. Helian Jialu is just not gentle, not gentle at all. Yu Shi said, making a gesture of escape.

"Don't run, stop!" Helian Jialu shouted to catch up, but Yushi ran faster.

"Don't trample on the salt ridge, you will have to pay double the compensation if you delay the salt production. As he ran, he turned his head and pointed in the direction of Helian Jialu's feet.

"Look for yourself, and be careful when you step into the salt pool. ”

The two chased and ran, covering each other's sorrow and separation with laughter.

On the fork in the road, Qi Fan and Guan Shu walked to a wide place, stood still and looked at the vast salt ridge.

"I don't know what advice Qi Duwei has?" Guan Shu turned to look at Qi Fan and asked.

"Although the county lord of Chanyuan did not say it yesterday, but Brother Guan is really the young master of the Moge, what Qi said is right?" Qi Fan went straight to the point and said.

"Not bad. Guan Shu saw that Qi Fan had recognized his identity, so he nodded and admitted.

"I have a special friendship with the county lord, so I probably know more about her than the two princes, Princess Youting and the Mo family. ”

"Qi Duwei means ......"

"Not only do I know the identity and background of the county lord, but I also know that the lord of the Hidden Dust Xuanxuan has only one son, and has never had a daughter. Qi Fan's words implied a deep meaning, and the identity of "Blocking Chan" in the past is about to come out.

"How did you know about this?" Guan Shu's pupils contracted suddenly.

"Brother Guan, rest assured, Qi is a friend rather than an enemy. Chan'er has you, a senior brother, protecting her like this, and I am also very relieved. Qi Fan had a relaxed expression and said with a smile, "I am very similar to you, and my ancestors also inherited the kindness of Princess Concubine, so I will protect Chan'er for the rest of my life." ”

"You said that you have something to discuss, is it ......" Guan Shu's eyes were meaningful.

"Exactly what you think. Qi Fan nodded knowingly and said, "The days of peace won't be too long......

Along the middle road, Yuan Han and Youting, who were slowing down, had already distanced themselves from Fang Yuyan and Chan'er, who were walking in front.

"You see a lot of trees planted on the mountains in the distance, but now it's hard to recognize them because of the winter. Youting raised his hand and pointed to the distant mountains and said.

"Is this forest also from the Mo family?" Yuan Han asked.

"yes. There are a lot of tea trees planted over there, and there are mulberry trees, cotton, and indigo trees next to it...... Many tree species. ”

"Mulberry is planted to raise silkworms?"

"Well, silk and cotton are the main raw materials of Moh's silk. Indigo can be used to make indigo dye, which can then be used to dye silk and cotton. ”

"Eh, our princess Yuting knows a lot of things. ”

"You make fun of me. Youting remembered Helian Jialu's allusion and smiled kindly, "I am the blessing of the Tomo family, and I have learned some from hearing and seeing." It's just that after Lan Hui got married, there were only Brother Ziluo and Alfalfa left, and it was inconvenient for me and them to say anything considerate. ”

"Then wouldn't it be nice for you to get married as soon as possible?"

"Where can I be the master of such a thing? You Ting paused, pretending not to care and asked Yuan Han, "Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to marry to be your princess in the future?"

"Background aside, I certainly want her to be someone I like. ”

"That'...... What kind of woman do you like?"

“…… You. Yuan Han stared at Youting with a firm gaze.

"Yuan Han, you're not joking?"

"If you agree, after I return to China to tell the emperor, I will come to propose to your father. ”

You Ting raised his gaze, made eye contact with Yuan Han, looked at each other for a while, and then stretched out the little finger of his right hand and said to Yuan Han:

"It's a deal. ”

"No remorse. Yuan Han also stretched out the little finger of his right hand and hooked Youting's fingers.

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes warm.

Compared with Yuan Han and Youting standing in place, Fang Yuyan and Chan'er, although they didn't walk fast, they still unconsciously distanced themselves from the two of them. Fang Yuyan was silent for a moment, stopped suddenly, and then took off the Pixiu accessories that had never left his waist from his waist.

"What's wrong?" Chan'er turned around and looked at Fang Yuyan's movements.

"This, I want to give to the county lord. Fang Yuyan held the Pixiu accessory in his right hand and presented it to Chan'er.

"Pixiu is a thing that gathers wealth, and only recognizes one master, how can Brother Muyan give it to me?"

From the first time he saw the county lord, he admired the county lord. Fang Yuyan's smile was a little shy, "If I can, I am willing to give everything I have, not to mention wealth and money." ”

"Brother Muyan's kindness, Chanyuan can't afford it. Chan'er lowered her eyes slightly apologetically and said softly.

"I didn't show my heart to the county lord to reciprocate the same feelings. Fang Yuyan withdrew his right hand, a trace of regret appeared in his eyes, and his voice said softly, "I heard from Yu Shi that Emperor Xuan intends to let the county lord marry into the Hengguo royal family in order to stabilize the relationship between the two friendly countries. The identity of the alfalfa is light, and he is not the good son-in-law of the county lord. ”

"Don't say that. ”

"I can see that the county lord is not a person who cares about external objects, so I know that there are two princes to compare, but I still want to show my heart to the county lord. Because there is at least one thing that I am confident that I can surpass them, and that is to marry only the woman I love for the rest of my life. Fang Yuyan looked at Chan'er's eyes as gentle as water.

Chan'er raised her eyes and looked at the affection in Fang Yuyan's eyes, she really couldn't bear to say words that hurt him.

"What the county lord asks for is that the county lord can remember, and there is a person who will still be remembered by the county lord even if he is far away. Fang said again.

"Brother Alfalfa is a rare good man in this world, and you remember Chanyuan's intentions for Chanyuan. Moreover, Aunt Moli, whether it is from my father or my mother, is my relative, and Brother Muyan is my brother, so don't say anything arrogant. ”

"Well, I listen to you. This is the first time that Fang Muyan no longer calls Chan'er "county lord".

"Thank you. ”

"This, are you still not going to accept it?" Fang Yuyan spread the Pixiu accessories on his hand and stretched them out in front of Chan'er again.

Chan'er shook her head, did not raise her hand to take the Pixiu ornament in Fang Muyan's hand, but looked at Fang Muyan sincerely and said:

"Chan Yuan only hopes that you will meet a fair lady who has two hearts, and she deserves to accept this accessory. ”

"Good. Fang Yuyan nodded seriously.
