In the county mansion, around the courtyard, the exquisite pavilions and pavilions, the quiet and beautiful exotic flowers and plants are close to the water corridor, as well as the big rockery, the ancient stage, and the rich and noble style. The room was full of sunlight and luxurious furnishings, Xu Wen was sleeping on the couch placed on the stone steps at the door, with his legs crossed, holding a paper fan in his hand, his eyes closed, his mouth half open, and he fell asleep.

Suddenly, two people, one tall and one short, came from the corridor in the courtyard, and they were the people who followed Mi'er, and came to pay their respects. Xu Wenfang woke up, slowly opened his eyes, and asked in a long tone, "Have you two found anything?" ”

"Back to my lord, I saw Miss Mi of the Mi family going out yesterday, and I didn't know where to go, so we followed, but halfway through, Miss Mi seemed to be alert, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye, so we didn't continue to follow." The diminutive man said.

After Xu Wen heard this, he immediately got on fire, "You two waste!" Stalking a weak woman has failed, what's the use of raising you! As he spoke, he angrily threw the folding fan in his hand at the two of them, and smashed it on the face of the shorter man.

The tall man hurriedly said: "My lord is angry, although I don't know where Miss Mi is going, but in the morning, we found that Mi is riding a donkey to the white egret, presumably as the adult expected, to find Lord Bai Shan, seeing his face is not very happy, my lord rest assured, everything is under your control." ”

"You still need to say that he will definitely go, and even if he doesn't, I have my own way." Xu Wen calmed his anger slightly, his tone softened, and he was secretly proud after speaking.

Just as Xu Wen got up and went back to the room, he just stood up and stretched out, a man dressed in black also entered the courtyard, his face was majestic, and he walked behind Xu Wen seriously, and said: "Little master, there is something to tell you below" Xu Wen turned his head happily when he heard this, and said, "How is it?" What's the news? ”

The black-clothed man standing in front of Xu Wen was the spy sent by Xu Wen to follow the mysterious visitor of the Mi family, and the spy said: "The villain has been following the carriage until he reaches the outside of Chicheng at the border of the realm of thought, and then stops. I saw that there was someone at the border of Chicheng who specially responded, presumably this person is not simple, but it can be concluded that this person is not our Guno people, it should be a thinking person. ”

Xu Wen was surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that the mysterious visitor was actually a foreign envoy, so what did she do here, after thinking about it for a while, Xu Wen concluded that the Mi family must have a lot to do with the state of thought, so things would be easier to do.

Noon has passed, the Mi family has already eaten, but Mi Zheng has not returned, Zhenyu stood outside the door and waited, wandered for half an hour, and returned to the house, at this time Xiaochan came to report: "Madam, the master is back." ”

Zhenyu relieved his heart at this time, Mi Zheng happened to enter the house, and saw a look of indignation, the muscles on his face stiffened into a sad face, but his eyes revealed a chill, which was stinging. Seeing that he didn't mean to speak, Zhenyu just walked to the table and immediately sat down to drink tea, Zhenyu saw this, thinking that he was just very thirsty, and ordered Xiaochan to make a pot of tea again.

Xiaochan left, and Mi Zhengyi said angrily: "The marriage is over, don't talk about it in the future, let Mi Er make her own decisions." ”

When Zhenyu heard this, he had already guessed Mi Zheng's intentions, and said, "What did they say to make you so angry?" ”

"Bai Shan, isn't this an obvious bully, he didn't even meet me, I didn't see anyone in his Qin Yao Villa, so I had no choice but to go back and forth."

Now that he has obviously turned his face, it seems that we don't have to pay any attention to his feelings, and the marriage seems to be a stop! You write a letter another day, and you will stop the marriage promise you made before, and you will talk about it later. Don't take it too hard and hurt yourself. Zhenyu comforted with kind words, Mi Zheng thought about this matter can only be like this, a few times anxious about Mi'er's marriage, it is better to let Mi'er choose independently, how to take this road, he just wants to support Mi'er.

And Xu Wen was in Tianxiang Building at this time, eating wine and food on the second floor of the hall, pondering the next plan while eating, and the spy next to him said: "Little master, I just received the news that the Bai Governor Mansion of Bailu Qin Yao Villa is about to return to Fanjing City. ”

"Very good, very good." Xu Wen said with satisfaction, and immediately rewarded the spy with a hundred taels of silver to reward him and his sister for their merits. "I didn't think your sister could come in handy, God help me."

It turned out that the favored personal maid in Qin Yao Villa was the younger sister of this spy, and Xu Wen borrowed her to cause misunderstanding between the Mi family and the Bai family, including the gossip on both sides, and the maid deliberately blocked it when Mi Zheng visited Bai Shan.

After Bai Shan received Mi Zheng's letter of resignation, he was very angry at first, but this move was exactly what he wanted, since it was clear that he wanted to turn his face, he would do it simply. I don't have to be an active person, and I am condemned by my conscience again, and when I see that my sick leave is almost over, I prepare to return to Fanjing City in advance.

In this way, Mi'er and Poplar are much more happy, and they are not developing in the direction they wanted. Seeing that the wind and waves were calm, Mi'er was also relieved, and at night, she fell asleep in a daze.

Outside the window, there was a bustle, the sound of frogs, nighthawks, the wind, the sound of the wind blowing the trees and swaying, and the sound of long breathing in the house. Mi'er heard the wildcat sound intermittently again, but she was standing in a clearing, a vast and cold clearing, with no trees or grass, and could not find any direction. Looking for it, Mi'er became short of breath as if she had lost her way in the clearing, and kept walking, only a faint light and shadow were seen in the dimness of the surroundings, there was an ominous premonition, and it was like fear, Mi'er kept searching, her brain was dizzy, and her face was sweating.

Finally, Mi'er immediately turned over, sat on the bed, and saw that it was dark all around, and realized that it was a dream.

However, Mi'er began to wonder, and thought about the dream, which was different from the previous dream she had in her life, and she had been dreaming the same dream over and over again for more than ten years, hearing the sound of a wild cat, seeing the entrance of the cave, and seeing a secret passage. And now, all I heard was the intermittent sound of wild cats, and there was a vast clearing around me, and I couldn't find my way.

Mi'er was puzzled, uneasy, no longer sleepy at this time, and kept sitting on the bed, as if he felt that everything around him was changing. After Lin Xi left, there was no news, Chen Ziyu came to the house, and he was not as chaotic as before, about rumors, marriage contracts, broken contracts, and being followed inexplicably, which made him uneasy, and he was gradually distancing himself from those carefree days. The sound of frogs outside the window sets off a peaceful silence, and by the stone bridge outside the house, wicker is winding, the river is shallow, and the moonlight is melting, Mi'er has been sitting until dawn, not sleepy.

After breakfast, Xu Wen suddenly came to visit Mi's house, brought gifts, and specified that he wanted to see Mi Zheng and his wife. In the main hall of the Mi family, Mi Zheng and Zhenyu sit in the north, Xu Wen sits on the east side, and Mi Tu and Chen Ziyu sit on the west side.

Mi Zheng was very cautious about hospitality, thinking that this Xu Wen specially came to visit with gifts, but he didn't know his intentions, and what kind of idea he wanted. Mitu, who was sitting on the west side, smiled attentively, and saw that the threshold of Baifu could not be bridged, so he had to change his mind and treat Xu Wen politely.

After Xu Wen and the Mi family made polite excuses, the conversation suddenly changed and they talked about Mi'er again. Mi Zheng immediately understood the intention of Xu Wen's sudden visit, but Mi Zheng was very disgusted with Xu Wen as a human being in his heart, but his face was contrary to his heart, and it was difficult to see the likes and dislikes.

"Uncle Mi, I heard that Ziyu said that you have been unhappy recently because of your marriage to the Bai family, and you must be in a depressed mood and in poor health, I specially brought you Cordyceps from the bitter cold mountains of the highlands, a slight gift, not a tribute, I hereby send you to laugh at you, and I hope to accept it." Xu Wen said as he ordered the servant standing next to him to open the gift box, which was so large that there were about two or three kilograms in total.

Mi Zheng wanted to refuse, but saw that Mi Tu had hurriedly replied with a smile: "Brother Xu is so polite, it is difficult to be gracious, how can you refuse." As he spoke, he walked to the servant who Xu Wen came with him, but at this time, Mi Zheng's voice came: "I'm allergic to Cordyceps, you don't dare to use that thing, let's take it back." ”

"Daddy! Why haven't I heard of that allergy to this thing? Mitu asked, and Zhenyu saw that Mitu didn't give Mi Zheng the stairs, and wanted the gift, so he echoed: "You haven't seen your father eat this thing, and I'm also allergic to this thing, so I can't eat it because of allergies, but I didn't tell you." ”

Mitu was displeased to see that his father and mother did not want to accept it. He stepped back and sat down.

"Since you're allergic to this, presumably Mitu, Mi'er, and my cousin aren't also allergic, so take it and leave it to them." Xu Wen said.

After hearing this, Mitu immediately replied: "I don't have allergies, thank you." Chen Ziyu, who was sitting next to him, did not speak.

Mi Zheng and Zhenyu glared at Mitu and signaled their refusal, but Mitu had already accepted the gift immediately. Mi Zheng and Zhenyu's faces were slightly ugly at this time, and Mi Zheng said: "No merit, no mercy, no dogs, don't hurry up and return it!" ”

At this time, Chen Zi made it clear that Mi Zheng and Zhenyu had always obeyed Mi Zheng and Zhenyu, because he admired his father and mother from the bottom of his heart, so he also spoke: "Cousin, I don't like this thing very much, we have all received your wishes, you better take this back, it is better to leave it to your uncle and aunt." ”

Xu Wen and Mi Tu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they saw Chen Ziyu also say this, and their faces also fell. Xu Wen didn't sell it anymore, and said directly: "I have put this gift here, Uncle Mi, since you said that it is useless, this is really not for nothing, this is the first expression of my intention to propose marriage, I have admired Miss Mi for a long time, I am married to this Mi'er!" ”

Xu Wen said domineeringly, Mi Zheng and Zhenyu were weak for a while, and then panicked, and immediately politely refused, Mi Tu saw the attitude of his father and his mother, and Xu Wen was in a stalemate, in order to reconcile with Xu Wenyan, he stood on Xu Wen's side and tried to help Xu Wen say good things, and persuaded his father to promise to marry Mi'er to Xu Wen, Xu Wen was very satisfied with Mitu's support.

Mi Zheng made a lot of detours, but continued: "Xu Gongzi, there is no grass at the end of the world, my Mi'er has a bad character, and it really doesn't match Xu Gongzi, why should Xu Gongzi be obsessed with this, it's really Mi'er who doesn't dare to climb high." ”

Xu Wen was impatient, and said unceremoniously: "Uncle Mi, you don't have to play under the guise of me, I didn't come today to ask for your consent, you promised, and you have to agree; If you don't say yes, you still have to say yes! I have chips in my hands, and you can watch the chips of your Mi family's secrets! ”
