The dark night was like a boulder pressing heavily on a person's chest, Chen Siyu tossed and turned on the bed, tossing and turning, and sat on his knees for a while, without any sleep, he simply put on his clothes and went out of the house, admiring the moon in the wind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info She walked to the door and heard a voice, and her body disappeared into the darkness, and she crouched down by the door, quietly looking out.

The moonlight is as clear as water, there is a man and a woman sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, the man is dressed in coarse cloth and plain clothes, like the warm and warm spring breeze of the sun, and the woman is dressed in white, light and light, quite the wind of the forest, which makes people want to be intoxicated.

Chen Siyu looked at the figures of Lin Risheng and Chu Yunxi under the moon, and suddenly felt bitter in his heart.

Lin Risheng carried the teapot to refill Chu Yunxi's teacup, and she smiled indifferently: "Thank you." ”

Lin Risheng put down the teapot, his face showed eagerness, hesitated for a while, and said, "Yunxi, I have something to ask you." ”

Chu Yunxi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You say." ”

Lin Risheng frowned slightly, and begged earnestly: "I hope you can help me take care of Ah Yuan." I mean, I hope you can mention her a little more, and persuade her. My mother died early, and we were at odds with my father. I am her dearest brother in the world besides my parents, and as I sincerely hope that my sister can live happily and not be like my mother. Ah Yuan has a strong personality and a fiery temper. My mother was abandoned by my father because she was too strong, and I didn't want my sister to repeat her mother's mistakes. And you are both women, and you are rarely the same age, and your words are speculative, and you know that there are some things that my brother cannot say conveniently. So, I want you to ...... I hope you can persuade her more, so that she can be a little more restrained in doing things for others, and can be a knowledgeable and reasonable lady like you, and I will be satisfied. ”

Lin Risheng's sincere words touched her, and she saw the preciousness and beauty of family affection in him. She smiled and said with a relaxed expression: "Of course, I will take it to heart." But I think you're a little concerned about it, and it's good for me to look at Yueyuan. You don't have to worry too much, I envy her a little bit, she has such a good brother. ”

Lin Risheng smiled bitterly: "I'm not a good brother, if I am a good brother, I don't have to beg you." ”

Chu Yunxi smiled: "It's because you're a good brother that you come to beg me." ”

The two smiled at each other and turned their heads to enjoy the moon view.

Chen Siyu stared at the two of them intently, seeing that the two of them were smiling and smiling, as if they had endless words. The shoulder was slapped by a warm palm, she turned her head in despair, Lin Yueyuan looked at her slightly pale face, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Chen Siyu asked in frustration: "Is the relationship between your brother and Yunxi very good?" ”

Lin Yueyuan saw that they were sitting together chatting and drinking tea, and replied without thinking: "Yes, their relationship has always been very good. Then he sighed regretfully.

Chen Siyu replied in a low voice, quickly put away his sad face, and replaced it with a smiling face.

Lin Yueyuan pulled her and wanted to walk out: "Don't call us to drink tea here secretly." Really, the two of them chatted so lonely, we went over and asked them what they were whispering. ”

Chen Siyu smiled and waved his hand and pulled her into the room. She tapped her nose and said with a smile: "Look, they sit in the moonlight, how much they look like a painting, such a beautiful painting adds us to it, isn't it a snake?" Let's go, go to my room, I'll talk to you, we haven't had time to talk properly. ”

Lin Yueyuan couldn't resist her repeated persuasion, and went back upstairs with her, the two little girls slept on their backs on the same bed, and they were talking with each other, and while talking, Lin Yueyuan turned to the side, facing her side and asked, "By the way, I almost forgot to ask you, how did you find my brother's residence alone?" ”

Chen Siyu's face couldn't help but have a delicate smile, she stared at the wisp of green vines hanging down from the roof, and recalled: "This matter started a month ago. ”

A month ago.

In March, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River flies, and the flowers are red and willow green. On the shore of West Lake, green willows are shady, flowers are blooming, the lake is rippling, and the spring is bright.

Located on the east side of the lake, Mingbi Villa is also more and more joyful with the arrival of spring.

Xiao Hongye was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and her master, Chen Zhen's only granddaughter, Chen Siyu, angrily drove her to the warm pavilion next door.

When the rooster crowed, Xiao Hongye finished dressing, and when she pushed the door, she found that Chen Siyu was still shrunk in the quilt and did not get up, she climbed on the bed and lifted off the thin quilt to pull her up. Chen Siyu's eyes were hazy, and the whole person fell on her, and complained irritably: "I'm so sleepy, I have to sleep for a while." She half-closed her eyes and pulled the quilt by feeling, Xiao Hongye tickled her, she giggled, and then opened her eyes.

Xiao Hongye held her heavy head and said with a smile: "Miss, hurry up, everyone should arrive, if you still lie in bed, people should laugh at you." ”

Chen Siyu shook the pillow arrogantly and snorted, "Who dares to laugh at me?" ”

Xiao Hongye smiled and dragged her out of bed and pressed her in front of the dresser, she lazily closed her eyes, and let Xiao Hongye serve her makeup familiarly.

The more Xiao Hongye urged anxiously, the more Chen Siyu calmly picked out clothes. She rubbed for half an hour before she slowly followed Xiao Hongye to sit behind the screen of the side door of the front hall. Through the gap in the screen, you can see that there is only a well-dressed young man sitting in the hall opposite. The boy was born with fine skin and tender flesh, his cheeks were slightly bulging, his childishness was not taken off, and his eyes looked at the ornaments in the room smartly.

Chen Siyu tilted his head slightly and asked, "Are people coming?" Seeing Xiao Hongye nodding, she commanded in a deep voice, "Call him to see me." ”

Shaoqing, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy bowed down to her side with Qian'er, Xiao Hongye moved a chair for him to sit on, and he grinned: "Thank you, sister." ”

Chen Siyu handed him a silver coin and asked softly, "What you asked about is clear?" ”

"It's all clear, miss, just ask." The little guy pulled the silver coat into his sleeve and smiled.

Chen Siyu glanced at Xiao Hongye, and she waved her hand outward.

A rather handsome maid pushed the door with a tea bowl and entered the main hall.

Chen Siyu observed the movement in the hall and asked quietly, "His name is Huang Yijing?" ”

The little maid leaned into her ear and said, "Yes, yes, the son of Yanzhou Taishou, he has a knighthood in his family and has a very good background." He is a year older than you, and he is the same age as Miss. The conversation is very elegant, and it is very pleasing to women. ”

Sure enough, there was a disgusting scene on the other side, the boy was holding the maid's hand and not letting her go, sometimes touching her arm, pinching her thin waist, and sometimes muttering a few frivolous words, making the maid embarrassed and want to escape.

Chen Siyu sneered: "I can see it, if I am too guarded, then I am not climbing?" How many wives and concubines do you have in the family? ”

Xiao Hongye's joy suddenly dissipated a lot, and looking at his prodigal appearance, he couldn't help pouting: "I'm afraid that a noble son like him also has two or three concubines." ”

Chen Siyu glanced sideways at her and teased: "Two or three rooms? You also underestimate this Huang Gongzi. ”

Even the little guy couldn't see his appearance, so he hurriedly interjected and added: "Miss is still right, I took it out of his mouth, saying that there are so many." ”

"Womanizer, no!" Chen Siyu flicked his sleeves and stood up to leave, but the little guy hurriedly stopped: "Miss, don't worry, wait for the next two." ”

Chen Siyu yawned a little annoyed and sat back down.

Not long after Huang Gongzi left, the door of the main hall opened again, and the maid brought in a person, who was not tall, with slightly shrugged shoulders, and kept hanging his head, and the tea handed over by the maid did not directly reach out to take it, but only served it on the table.

Chen Siyu sat on the screen for a long time, and he didn't see his appearance clearly, and the little guy immediately introduced: "This is Xia Changxia's son, who only went to Chun'an a few days ago. The future is promising. ”

She didn't feel that the imperial examination was superior to others, so she turned her head disapprerovingly and asked, "I asked you to ask everything, what did he say?" ”

The little girl smiled and said: "It's interesting, this county magistrate is very shy, and when he asks him anything, he only says that his mother likes it, and he also says that finding a wife is only virtuous, and he can serve his mother happily." ”

She pursed her lips slightly, and guessed in a strange voice: "Oh, it seems that this Lord Xia must have grown up with his mother since he was a child." His mother must have been a dominant figure in the family. ”

"Miss is smart, that's what happened." The little guy nodded like pounding garlic.

Xiao Hongye didn't hear his master's voiceover, and suggested inexplicably: "Kind-hearted, or a filial son, Miss can meet this." ”

Chen Siyu lost interest in him instantly, flicked the silver bracelet on his wrist, and arrogantly refused: "One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, I didn't marry someone to serve people." Besides, such a big person is still in charge of everything, and his mother is in charge of everything, and he has nothing to do when he becomes a county magistrate, so he doesn't see it! ”

She expressed her impatience again with a long yawn, "No, I'm tired and go back to rest." ”

Xia Chang left as she spoke, and then the door of the main hall opened again, Xiao Hongye pressed her back into the chair, pointed outside, and said, "Hey, there is another young lady, you see." ”

She didn't have any hope, so she glanced at it casually, but the little guy smiled first: "This son is good-looking." ”

Chen Siyu glanced at it, his eyes immediately froze, the boy sat upright, his hands on his knees, a serious and serious appearance, and then looked at him well-dressed, dignified, seven feet high, sword eyebrows and leopard eyes, quite unlike those who are not useful in the weak and gentle, but a little manly.

Chen Siyu was overjoyed, looked at him a few more times, and still said stiffly: "What's the use of looking good." ”

The little guy hurriedly excused himself and said: "Yes, the key is to have a good character." ”

Chen Siyu looked at him and corrected: "It's not good to have a good character, you have to be good to me." ”

The little guy touched his head and added with a grimace: "This one, his background is a little worse, and he doesn't have a knighthood or official position, and his family is in business like us." The son of the Xiao family in Lingnan, Xiao Jubi. ”

Chen Siyu pursed his lips and said unconvinced: "Those who do business are inferior, and I think he is also a hypocrisy." She waved her hand at Xiao Hongye, Xiao Hongye leaned down, she muttered in her ear, Xiao Hongye squirmed and didn't want to go, Chen Siyu pushed her and said, "But pour a cup of tea, what are you afraid of." ”

Xiao Hongye went out after a while, and as soon as the door was pushed, Chen Siyu looked like he was watching a good show. As a result, it was not Xiao Hongye who came in, but another beautiful maid in the pantry.

Chen Siyu sneered and said softly: "This bad hoof is still playing tricks in front of me." ”

There were two people in the house, Xiao Ju and the maid, the maid deliberately pretended to be a foot when she served tea, he helped her up, and did not take advantage of her, so he asked someone to help her out.

Chen Siyu carefully observed his expression, judging by her years of shrewdness in the business field, but she didn't see any flaws at all.

"Miss, don't worry about it now." Xiao Hongye stood behind her, crossed his waist, and his face was displeased.

Chen Siyu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Who knows if he is pretending." ”

Xiao Hongye couldn't help but say: "My miss, your requirements are too high, and you can't do it high." This marriage, the person is almost ready, where to choose a perfect person, I look at this Xiao Gongzi is very good. The two families are also considered to be the right family, I don't think the official eunuchs are good, they always feel superior, and you will suffer if you marry in the past. ”

Chen Siyu glanced at her and said: "How much benefit he gave you, he bought you, and you have never been married, where can there be so many fallacies." ”

Xiao Hongye pouted and said: "It's all taught by my mother, how can it be a fallacy." ”

Chen Siyu laughed and said: "She is embarrassed to teach you a lesson, and she is not good at marrying, if I had her broken up with your father." ”

Xiao Hongye turned her head angrily and ignored her, she won a step in her mouth, and smiled proudly: "So far, is he willing to get involved?" ”

The little guy was asked, and said hesitantly: "You didn't let me ask this young lady." He scratched his head and offered a treasure as if he had to smile and said: "This master's family is clean, there are no concubines, all the way to Hangzhou are served by boys, and he doesn't go to Flower Street on weekdays, he doesn't drink, and now he follows the elders in the family to run business, and the people are not bad, I didn't listen to any mess." It's just that the family is a little bit worse, I don't know if the lady can take a fancy to it? ”

Xiao Hongye said angrily: "Since Miss wants to know about other people's affairs, why don't you ask yourself." ”

Chen Siyu stood up and put down the hem of her skirt, and smiled confidently: "You girl has a big temper, just go, do you think I can still be afraid of him." Although she is delicate and cute, she loves to be coquettish and willful, but she is not pretentious, and she is also a very free and bold woman. She didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of, so that people ripped off the screen and walked out so generously.

Xiao Hongye hurriedly followed, loving and hating her audacity in his heart.

Xiao Juyan saw her coming out of the back screen, the expression on his face had changed a few times, he probably felt that he was being watched, and his face sank even more.

Xiao Hongye introduced him in time: "Xiao Gongzi." This is our young lady. ”

Xiao Ju bowed politely, but her face was still ugly.

Chen Siyu is well versed in the way of men's face, although she is arrogant but smart, she took the initiative to make amends.

Xiao Juyan's face softened a lot, and he smiled a little. Xiao Hongye was relieved, and after the two of them saluted, they each sat down at one end.

Chen Siyu opened his mouth and asked about his family background, but he didn't feel it at all. Xiao Juyan had never seen such a direct and neat woman as her, and she was slightly uneasy in her heart. His appearance was impeccable, and his family background matched him, but her slightly strong attitude and arrogant posture clouded his affection, and her temperament was very different from the gentle and subtle virtues of the woman he longed for, and he was a little shocked but difficult to resist, and he was powerless to appreciate but a little resistant.

But she was still a very beautiful woman, and he could not resist the magic of beauty, and even if his temperament was incompatible, it was difficult to suppress his excitement. But he can't show his true emotions, he can only remain quiet, his face is as usual, they are equal opponents, if one party shows love first, it will be difficult to turn over in the future marriage.

His cold attitude did make Chen Siyu very dissatisfied, her favor was as weak as fireflies, his reserve and alienation made it difficult for her to touch sincerity, they seemed not to communicate with feelings, but with their brains to calculate, compete for wisdom and determination, so it was more like talking about business, and soon she realized that he might become her good business partner rather than a husband who loved each other.

He was a respectable but unlovable man, but she could still talk to him with a smile and a graceful gesture, although she had already made a decision in her heart. But when he was in decline, he couldn't hold his breath, so he couldn't help but show her that he wanted to marry her, but said in a condescending tone: "Miss Chen, I think that after a woman gets married, she should still focus on her husband and children, although I admire Miss's financial management ability, but the Xiao family does not have the rules of a woman in charge of the family, if Miss Chen arrives in Lingnan in the future, I am afraid that she will have to worry about family affairs." ”

Xiao Hongye was very happy to hear his words, a woman's virtue of obedience and virtue is a precept since ancient times, and she also hopes that the young lady can be retracted after she gets married, but she only thinks that he is a very sympathetic and reasonable person.

Chen Siyu was as embarrassed as being slapped in public, if it weren't for her deep family education, I was afraid that she would have dropped the cup and left. She has no parents, she has some male ambition since she was a child, and she has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the family, she thinks that she is not inferior to a man regardless of talent and courage, but she is always despised because of her status as a woman, so she has a little more strong heart, for fear of being underestimated. Xiao Juyu seemed to be casually saying a few words, but they just poked at her sore spot. She hates people who treat women lightly, even if he is Pan An alive, if he is a literary song, it is difficult for her to have a trace of love for him.

She suddenly got up and wanted to leave, and said to him with a smile: "With the talent of the son, there are naturally countless women waiting for you, and the little girl is sparse, and she doesn't understand the rules of the Xiao family, so she doesn't dare to climb high." ”

Xiao Hongye was angry and anxious and chased him out. Her sudden change of color like a wind and clouds made Xiao Juyan stunned on the spot, and when he chased his gaze, there was a burst of red rain floating in the wind.
