The late autumn dusk always comes quickly, and before the water vapor in the distant mountains is completely dissipated by the sunlight, the sun sets lazily into the western mountains. The red sunset burst out with different colors in the mountain stream, and the heaven and earth also merged into one, regardless of each other.

The road to the new city was full of thick fallen leaves, and the trunks of the trees on both sides had long since become bald branches, and only the simple and huge bird's nest hung abruptly on it.

Street vendors are also hurrying to clean up their stalls, hoping to get back to their warm homes before it gets completely dark. The pedestrians on the road were all in a hurry, and a gust of wind blew slowly, and people couldn't help but shiver, and they all pulled the placket of the neckline tighter, afraid that the cold autumn wind would have a crack to drill.

Xiang Yan carefully draped the white fluffy collar for her young lady, walked out of the "old cow clothes" quickly, and waved to the carriage not far from the street.

The crystal ruddy lips sighed towards the white tender hands rubbing up and down, and the white mist could be seen in the air, and the woman said, "Winter is coming!" He lifted his feet and got into the carriage that was parked in front of him.

The cattle shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop watched the carriage disappear into the deep alley, turned back to the table in front of the stove, and looked carefully at the thick stack of pictures on the table, and his lips could not hide the smile.

He couldn't help but look up at his shop, the façade had just been renovated two days ago, it was a lot more magnificent than before, and even the windows were replaced with "glass panels", which were bright and wind-shielding, hundreds of times better than the papier-mâché windows. The inside of the shop has also been redecorated according to Miss Shen's drawings, the walls have been repainted, the furniture in the store has been replaced with high-quality furniture, and the fashionable clothes are hung inside, which is pleasing to the eye, and he has not spent a single one, how can he be unhappy.

What makes him even more pleased is that the clothes made of the drawings, the style is beautiful and generous, eye-catching, and the price is also very close to the people. He, the shopkeeper and tailor, was very busy, no, he recruited five more tailors with excellent hands and two quick men, and finally he looked like a boss.

The sky was getting dark, and Miao Zhi in the carriage was draped in a thick coat and held a hearth in her hand. Lanterns were lit under the eaves on both sides of the street, and the sparkling candles added a soft beauty to the depressed and lonely sky.

It seems that she has forgotten something today, Miao Zhi tilted her head and asked Xiang Yan next to her.

"Xiang Yan, I always feel as if I have forgotten something today, my brain is becoming more and more forgetful." She was a little stumbling, and she really couldn't remember it at all.

"When we left the house in the morning, the eldest young master came to look for you!"

"That's right!" Miao Zhi patted her head and finally remembered. In the morning, the eldest brother came over, she asked about the Bing Mo Dan, and the eldest brother replied a little hesitantly, because he was afraid of troublesome her, so he didn't want to answer!

Her voice was clear, and she shouted to the coachman: "Let's go to the Yuan Mansion in the north of the city!" ”

When the carriage turned around, she was a little annoyed in her heart, she really couldn't change the problem of recklessness at any time, not to mention that it was dark now, and it was time for dinner, and she didn't even say hello, so she rushed over, isn't it too abrupt!

She buried her little face in the fluffy collar, and then drove out all those thoughts, she was just afraid that her eldest brother would have no medicine to eat, okay?

North of the city, Yuanfu.

Compared with other houses, the house seems a little lonely, only the courtyard where Yuan Hongxuan is staying in the huge mansion reveals a slight light, the dumb man who is in charge of cleaning casually nibbles a dry cake and lies down in his clothes, only the small kitchen in the ear room is steaming out a little mist, and a woman is vaguely seen busy.

Everyone in the house was discussing something, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, which seemed particularly crisp in the empty courtyard.

Several people were startled, and quickly silenced, and their nerves tensed instantly.

Yuan Hongxuan made a look, Qimang got up and came to the courtyard, and after asking through the door panel, he strode back to the house.

When several people learned that it was Miss Judge's visit, their faces became a little strange, surprised, surprised, and relieved.

Yuan Hongxuan was looked at by several pairs of eyes, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart. His indifferent face did not change, and he only coughed lightly twice, "That's all for today, you all go back!" ”

"Qimang, go out with me."

Several dark shadows disappeared into the huge mansion in an instant like ghosts, and the woman in the small kitchen in the ear room only looked at the dark night, turned around and muttered, "Where did the wild cats come from?" ”

Miao Zhi walked back and forth in front of the door with her embroidered shoes on her feet, still annoyed by her recklessness.

The door squeaked open, and the handsome and indifferent Yuan Hongxuan appeared behind the door. Just by the dim candlelight in the lantern under the eaves, Miao Zhi only glanced at it, and her little face turned red.

"Prince Hongxuan, I'm sorry to bother you so late, yes, it's the eldest brother's business, so, I, I'm here to find you." She spoke incoherently, her voice trembling slightly.

Yuan Hongxuan looked at the woman in front of the door, her pretty little face was hidden in the thick fur collar, her watery eyes were a little uneasy, and her white and tender little face was flushed.

"Then let's invite Miss Miao Zhi to come in," he leaned sideways and moved out of the way, and then instructed Qimang to let the flower woman in the kitchen cook more dishes.

Miao Zhi wanted to prevaricate, but she couldn't help swallowing the rejection back into her stomach, smiled and thanked her, and raised her feet and entered the gate of the Yuan Mansion.

The mansion has an open view, and you can see bonsai planted with dwarf pines everywhere, and in the center of the courtyard is a delicate huge water tank, in which the water is gurgling, and more than a dozen goldfish swim leisurely in the water.

There were a few lanterns scattered on the long corridor, and the road beneath your feet was obviously a little dim.

Miao Zhi looked at the mansion in the faint light, and cautiously followed behind Yuan Hongxuan.

After walking for a long time, I entered a small courtyard, which seemed to be much brighter than the outside, and there was smoke curling on the roof of a room in the corner, which was obviously a small kitchen.

Yuan Hongxuan's residence is very simple, what he sees when he enters the door is several huge bookshelves, on which many books are densely placed, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table are gathered, but they are just a little messy. Looking further in, a set of beautifully carved nanmu tables and chairs are placed under a calligraphy and painting of galloping horses, and a dark gray cloak and a fox fur are placed on the chaise longue in the corner.

The room was full of warmth, two or three braziers were placed in the corners of the walls, and the green smoke curled above the incense burner, and the fragrance was ethereal.

Miao Zhi quickly took a look at the room out of the corner of her eye, still with a faint smile on her face.

Yuan Hongxuan had already noticed the woman's curious and deliberately restrained gaze, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, she was really a stupid girl, so obvious peeking, how could others not find out.
