Volume 1: When the Flowers Fall in a Dream (96)
"Well, is my cousin there?" Outside the door was a delicate-sounding girl's voice, the voice was somewhat familiar, and the little cuckoo was flustered for a moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Second Young Master..."The maid's voice was a little hesitant, and it took a while before she said slowly: "The second young master is in the bathhouse, and he will come back in a while." ”
The girl replied lightly and said, "In that case, then I'll go to the house and wait for my cousin!"
"Miss Cousin!" the maid's voice was a little excited, and the tail note trembled a little.
The little cuckoo was going to open the door and go out, but it was not good to go out directly. She has some impressions of this young lady, who was at the gate of the Governor's Mansion that day, she was treated as a begging little beggar, if it wasn't for the housekeeper to relieve the siege, I am afraid that she would have been driven away.
After entering the Governor's Mansion, she gradually learned that this cousin's full name was Jiang Lan, and she was the youngest daughter of Madame's maiden cousin. It is said that he was set to be the nephew of his wife's mother's family since he was a child, and he waited until he was old enough to get married.
Mrs. Mother's family is also somewhat capable, and as the first general soldier in Jiangnan, his father is also very far-sighted. not only cultivated his two sons and two daughters into intellectuals who stayed abroad, but also was extremely open-minded about the marriage of his children, imitating the free love of the West.
His grandson fell in love with a foreign doctor who came back from abroad, and the old man was of course even more happy to see it. At the moment, he quit the baby kiss and asked his grandson to marry his beloved doctor.
This young lady's family is not without anger, but in the end, it is the first general soldier, and they can't afford to provoke the big family, so they have no choice but to quit the marriage.
However, the old man did not bully them, and beckoned his children to send all the portraits of the grandchildren of school-age men, and asked the cousin to choose a husband by herself, which can be regarded as compensation for this family business.
Jiang Lan didn't have any feelings for the fiancé of Nalao Shizi, who had never met, but now that she had the opportunity to re-select her fiancé, she was naturally very happy, holding the photos of a few men to be selected, flipping through them twice at random, and fell in love with the second young master of the Governor's Mansion - Duan Hongye at a glance.
The old man is shrewd this time, and he is afraid that Duan Hongye will make some more trouble, and there will be a toss in this matter. So I informed my daughter, and said that I would send people over first, and the beautiful name was that the relationship should be cultivated since childhood, which is what the little cuckoo saw, the incident of Miss Biao's entry into the house.
These are all things that the little maids in the house talked about without a word. Little Cuckoo was really shocked when she first heard about it, if this young lady came to live as a fiancée, wouldn't it be the same joke to take advantage of her own existence.
Because of this news, the little cuckoo almost retreated. It happened that at this time, I heard the news of Duan Hongye's illness, but I left the matter of this young lady behind.
Now the rumored fiancée is outside, where does he, an unclear peasant girl, have a reason to exist. The little cuckoo didn't even know where to put his hands and feet for a while, and in a panic, he didn't pay any attention to what the people outside said.
Just as the little cuckoo was panicking and thinking about what to do, the door was pushed open. Suddenly, the light shining directly on the face made the little cuckoo subconsciously lose his eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you in your cousin's house?" the oncoming girl stared at the little cuckoo's somewhat messy clothes with a look of disbelief on her face.
The unclean atmosphere in the room, and the panicked and messy appearance of the girl in front of her, all show what happened in this room yesterday. Unlike the little cuckoo, who is ignorant of the world, Jiang Lan has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, and her father is a flowery person, and the aunt and wife of the family carry it back one room after another. The mansion fights of wealthy families and the like are almost melted into her blood and bones, and the appearance of this house, she naturally knows what is going on at a glance.
Jiang Lan glared at the little cuckoo angrily, and saw the color of crimson in her eyes: "Where did the fox spirit come from, I actually asked you to climb into your cousin's bed." See if I don't tear you little. ”
The little cuckoo was startled by the visitor and was stunned for a moment. The little maid who came in didn't seem to expect it. The first day he rested in his second young master's house turned out to be a very well-behaved and sensible little cuckoo, and he forgot to pay attention to Miss Biao's movements for a while.
It wasn't until Jiang Lan's slap hit his face that the little cuckoo would react.
With a "snap", the little cuckoo's body suddenly fell to the ground, and before he had time to put on neat clothes, his neckline was opened, revealing the speckled bruises inside.
This weak and unwinded appearance, as well as those faint traces on his body, immediately burned Jiang Lan's reason: "Sure enough, it's a fox spirit, that's how you hooked your cousin! ”
The little cuckoo knew that he couldn't avoid this beating, so he subconsciously held his head and curled up.
The expected pain did not fall, but Jiang Lan's angry voice rang out.
"Cousin, what are you doing!" Jiang Lan glared at the person in front of her angrily, she just wanted to raise her foot and kick the fox "raccoon" a few times, but she was violently dragged back, if it wasn't for the maid behind her, I am afraid that she would have sat on the ground at this time.
Duan Hongye glanced at him coldly, squatted down and slowly picked up the curled little cuckoo, and comforted him softly: "Ajuan, it's okay, I'm back!"
Gently pulling down the little cuckoo's arm, what caught his eye was the slap print on his sweetheart's face, which was red and had begun to purple. Duan Hongye's eyes instantly set off a violent storm, and he reached out and touched it with pity, but saw the little cuckoo shrink violently.
"It's okay, no one will hurt you anymore. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Duan Hongye hugged her gently and comforted her softly.
"Cousin!" Jiang Lan looked at the two intimate people in front of her, her eyes were about to burst into flames: "I am your fiancée, how can you protect this vixen like this." ”
"Fiancée?" Duan Hongye picked up the little cuckoo, and the corners of his lips hooked a mocking arc: "My Duan Hongye's fiancée has always been only Ajuan. Are you worthy?"
No one wants to be seen as the only one, and the little cuckoo is no exception. Duan Hongye's few words, which were firm and powerful, instantly washed away all the negative emotions of the little cuckoo. Whether it's panic or death, it's just the fear of the future that suddenly learned that the boy who grew up with her suddenly became out of reach.
Duan Hongye's affirmation instantly dispelled the fear in the heart of the little cuckoo. For the first time since the two saw each other again, Xiao Cuckoo took the initiative to reach out and hugged Duan Hongye's waist with his backhand.
