An Jin followed her gaze and saw several people standing next to the lotus pond outside, and facing away from them was a girl wearing a silver-gray cloak, and opposite this girl, that is, directly opposite them was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man, the young man was dressed in lake blue with white-trimmed arrow sleeves, red lips and white teeth, and a long body erect, which was also considered to be delicate and handsome, but his eyes were a little too flexible, and he didn't look very stable.

It is now the cold winter wax moon, and there is no vitality and greenery in the lotus pond except for a small number of withered branches and leaves. Otherwise, this young man and woman standing by the lotus pond can be regarded as a sight.

The scenery is not right, and Anjin's mood is not right.

An Jin has recognized the back of the girl, it is her fourth sister Ruan Anmei, she knows her fourth sister, and she will definitely not meet with a man at this time in the lotus edge, in this case, it is either a chance encounter or someone specially arranged to meet, what makes An Jin a little relieved is that Ruan Anmei is not alone, she also has a little girl Huan Cuizhen by her side.

At this time, the young man seemed to be bowing his head slightly and saying something to Ruan Anmei, with a courteous and considerate smile, slightly raised eyes, and a face full of spring. The little girl Huan Cuizhen's face was a little nervous, Ruan Anmei turned her back to this side, and An Jin couldn't see her expression.

An Jin frowned slightly, and then called a little girl who came with her, Huan Qingbi, and asked her to look through the window and recognize who the young man was. The little girl glanced at it and knelt down in fright and replied, "Yes, it's the second cousin of Mrs. Gu's family." ”

An Jin didn't bother to pay attention to her fuss, and when she said this, she quickly walked out of the corridor and walked along the pond towards the people, and Caizhi and Biluo and others also hurriedly followed.

Before he could get closer, the young man had already heard the movement, and when he saw An Geun appear, his smile froze for a moment, and turned into a look of surprise. It should have felt the strangeness of the young man, Ruan Anmei also turned to look over, and when she saw An Jin, Ruan Anmei's face was obviously bright, so she hurriedly left the young man and met An Jin.

"Jin'er, you're here, that's great." Ruan Anmei said happily that when she called An Jin as Jin'er instead of the seventh sister, it was usually when she was more happy or excited.

An Jin smiled and took her hand, looked at her and said, "Fourth sister, are you also going to your grandmother's for dinner?" Did you want to get closer to your sister before you walked from here? ”

Waiting for Ruan Anmei to nod, An Jin smiled and squeezed her hand, then turned her face to face the young man, as if she had just found the young man, and said, "I don't know who this brother is?" Why did you block my sister's path just now? ”

The young man looked at An Jin's eyes with a smile and looked at him, as well as the string of maids behind her, a little annoyed, and was about to answer, but Ruan Anmei interjected on the side: "Seventh sister, this is the second cousin of my aunt's family, he also went to Shou'an Hall for dinner, saying that he was separated from the little girl, and was asking me if I could take him to Shou'an Hall." It's good that my sister is here, it's better for my sister to ask your little girl to call someone to come over and accompany the Cai family's cousin to Shou'an Hall. ”

An Jin chuckled and said, "Where did you get so troublesome?" The young man's face was overjoyed, but An Jin continued, "Let my little girl ring lead him, anyway, I bring a lot of girl rings." ”

As he spoke, he called the little girl who had just knelt down and hurried up, and ordered: "Qingbi, you stay and wait for a while to lead the young master of the Cai family to Shou'an Hall for dinner." Let's go first. The tone of the words "wait a while" was also deliberately strengthened.

After speaking, he pulled Ruan Anjian, and before the young man could speak, he had already turned around, and the young man wanted to follow, but he was stopped in front by the little girl ring named Qingbi, and he was not allowed to move forward, but he didn't dare to push the little girl ring, so he had to stare dryly.

In fact, the atmosphere of the Great Qi Dynasty is quite open, and it is not as strict as the previous dynasty for women's names and festivals, and it is not a big deal for relatives and young men and women to walk together, but An Jin has always believed that more is better than less, because I don't know if there will be any follow-up troubles, An Jin will usually be very decisive. After all, Ruan Anmei is different from herself, she doesn't care what others say, but Ruan Anmei values it.

Qingbi kept stopping the young man and waited for An Jin and the others to disappear, before she got out of the way and whispered to the young man: "Young Master Cousin, do you still need to wait for your little servant, or do you want the maid to lead you to Shou'an Hall now?" ”

Cai Zhiwen looked at Xiao Yahuan's low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, and he was angry, but he didn't dare to lose his temper, so he could only follow her with him.

Along the way, An Jin took Ruan Anmei and asked: "Fourth sister, why did you only take a maid ring to walk this way, it was always getting dark, in case you fell or collided with something, it would be bad." ”

Ruan Anmei smiled bitterly: "I also brought two maid rings, I met Cousin Hui on the road before, so I asked Cuihong to send her back to the guest garden, and after a while, I thought about quickly passing through here to Shou'an Hall, where did I think that there would be anything in my own house." ”

"That guy surnamed Cai didn't rush you, did he?" An Geun asked.

"Not really, I just don't like the way he looks at people." Ruan Anmei frowned and said, "Turning straight, not like a good person." ”

When An Jin heard Ruan Anmei say this, she looked at her in surprise and said with a smile: "Sister, you will be so straightforward, you wouldn't have said that before." ”

Ruan Anmei's face flushed, and she pinched An Jin heavily, but she didn't make a sound. In fact, she is very quiet and doesn't like many things, but she is not cowardly and stupid, but she didn't like to say anything before, the second sister Ruan Antan took her to teach her hand in hand during this time, she didn't know that the second sister was worried that she would not be able to stand up and be bullied in the future, so she has been trying to change her temperament of always liking to calm things when things happen.

The two of them talked and laughed and went to Shou'an Hall together, and everyone was almost there.

The dinner was placed in the flower hall, separated by a screen, and the female dependents sat down in two seats, the old lady, the third old lady, the second lady, the aunt and the elder lady, and Ruan Antan and Ruan Zhenyi sat at a table, and An Geun and other sisters sat at a table.

During the banquet, Mrs. Gu also inquired about Ruan Anmei's marriage, and the second lady Zhao Shidao had already seen each other, so she was waiting for it to be settled, and Mrs. Gu looked quite disappointed.

An Jin thought that this aunt's in-law son had already been married, and this question must be for the sake of that concubine, and even came to ask about her niece's daughter's marriage for the sake of the concubine, An Jin felt that it was simply strange, and it was no wonder that her life could be like that.

Cai Lanhui happened to be sitting next to An Jin, and An Jin asked Cai Lanhui with a smile when she had nothing to do: "Cousin Hui, didn't you hear that you have a broken foot?" It's good so soon? You okay? Have you ever seen a doctor? Don't hold on, if something happens, it's not good. ”

Cai Lanhui heard An Jin's sudden question, her hands shook in fright, and the meatballs on the chopsticks snapped and fell on the table, and she heard An Jin's series of questions, she was not good at picking up meatballs, and her face was flushed.

Ruan Anji, who was on the other side, hurriedly called the little girl ring behind her to come forward to serve, helped Cai Lanhui pick up the meatballs, wiped the table, and changed the dishes in front of her, but this movement even alarmed the elders on the table next to her, and they all turned to look, Cai Lanhui's face turned even redder, and she stammered a little and said to An Jin: "Thank you cousin for your concern, I, I'm fine." ”

An Jinhu looked her up and down suspiciously, and then stopped at her face for a moment, and saw that Cai Lanhui's eyes were even more evasive, and her hands trembled a little.

An Jin sighed in her heart, she didn't suspect her at first, but looking at her panicked appearance, it was impossible not to doubt it, this Cai family was really messy.

After tossing for a day, after dinner, An Jin returned to her yard and was a little tired, she first called Qi Hong and asked her to inquire about the Cai family, especially the second young master of the Cai family. Then let the pearl dive accompany him to practice the basic skills for a while, and then called Yahuan to take a hot bath and clean himself, and then went to sleep, because he was too tired and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

So when Caizhi, who was keeping vigil, suddenly got up and sat down beside her, she didn't know at all, or Caizhi secretly pinched her several times before she woke up.

She muttered unhappily in a daze, "What are you doing? ”

"Miss, there's someone outside." Cai Zhi hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and held a dark sword in the other hand, and said in a low voice.

An Geun frowned, slowly sat up and looked out the window.

"Da Da Da", the sound of three knocks on the window sounded suddenly in the silent night. An Jin's originally confused brain suddenly woke up, and his brain turned for a long time, as if he remembered something, and slowly retracted back into the bed, sighing: "It should be the cousin of the second uncle of the Zhao family, you go and send him away, just say that I am asleep." But you better be careful. "You can't get used to these problems, if you are used to the problem that you always like to come to her at night, it is really nothing and fishy.

Zhao Chengyi and Xiao Ye are not the same, in An Jin's eyes, Xiao Ye is a bear child, and there is no purpose in getting along with her. But Zhao Chengyi is different, his gaze at her is too aggressive, and there is the kind of you who are mine, I will tolerate you no matter how much trouble you make, but you are still mine, that kind of affectionate look and eyes simply made An Jin creepy, I feel really unbearable, and the pressure is simply not ordinary.

Caizhi went out and came back in less than a quarter of an hour, and when she came back, she glanced at An Geun, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, and did not say a word, so she prepared to go to sleep, and as soon as she lay down on the small collapse next to her, she heard An Geun laugh out loud and asked, "Is it him?" How did you send him away? ”

Although he knew that An Jin couldn't see it, Cai Zhi still nodded and said, "His kung fu should be good, but it's a pity that he is too young and not my opponent." ”

"You also say that his kung fu is good? How do you compare it to your sons? Your son is not much older than him. An Geun asked curiously, but she was not interested in knowing that they had any communication other than force, she knew that the branches were measured, and they would not really hurt him.

"That's different." Cai Zhi thought seriously and replied, "Although this young master has good exercises and has practiced his basic skills very solidly, it can be seen that he should not have practiced for a few years. But our son began to practice martial arts at the age of five, and he has never stopped for so many years, where can he compare. ”

An Jin was slightly stunned, in Kyoto, everyone said that the prince of Lingnan was arrogant and rude, he had brute force and no brains, and he was in trouble all day long. Of course, she knew that Xiao Ye was definitely not like that, but she didn't expect him to be so diligent, he grew up in Kyoto from five to eleven years old, and it was really not easy to practice martial arts so hard, but to maintain that image in the outside world. Of course, she also thinks that that kind of image should also be part of his nature.

An Geun glanced at Cai Zhi, but Cai Zhi closed his eyes and was silent, wondering if he felt that he had said too much, or said something that should not be said.
