After a night of wind and rain, I opened the door in the early morning, and the courtyard scattered with golden leaves was in ruins. Xia Xue'er leaned against the door frame and quietly watched Qiu Ju wielding a broom to clean the mess in the courtyard.

"The fallen leaves do not rest, and the broken canopy does not return. Drifting away from each other in the end, and encounters are temporarily dependent on each other.

Whispering late at night, the cold moonlight. Whoever is a young man don't have a cloud, tears and clothes. ”

Before I knew it, the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and I missed my relatives every festival, I don't know if my parents, grandparents, and grandparents are doing well, and occasionally I think of her if I will wet my eyes with tears. This will be the first Mid-Autumn Festival that she will not be able to accompany her grandfather, and I wonder if they will be sad if there is a sudden lack of her laughter in the old house.

Dongmei in the house was making the bed, glanced at Xia Xue'er's slightly thin back, and asked Cuizhu beside her: "What's wrong with Miss lately, looking at the old sycamore in the courtyard whose leaves are about to fall off?" ”

Cuizhu put down the feather duster in his hand and replied in a low voice: "Who knows, since the second lady's murder of our miss was exposed, Miss has been sullen, and from time to time she will recite some sad poems and songs, which makes people feel distressed when they see it!" ”

Dongmei rolled her eyes and said indignantly: "Isn't it, our young lady is so heartfelt to the second miss on weekdays, no one would have thought that she was so vicious and would murder our young lady in secret, if it were me, I wouldn't be happy." ”

Cuizhu turned to stare at Xia Xue'er's back, and said after a while: "It's not a way to go on like this, sooner or later we will get sick, we have to think of a way to make Miss happy." ”

"Hey~", Dongmei sighed: "What good way can there be, the young lady always shouted to go out to breathe, but now it's good, I love to stay here and listen to Yuxuan, it's useless to persuade anyone." I don't know where the second young master has gone, he hasn't shown up lately, but he has a lot of interesting ways in his stomach, which will definitely relieve the boredom of the young lady. ”

Cuizhu answered: "Also, we can come up with anything interesting, in the past, the young lady took a few of us to play." After pondering for a moment, he walked up to Xia Xue'er and said, "Miss, let's go out for a walk, you haven't taken us to play with us for a long time." ”

Xia Xue'er was thinking about it, and she was startled after being disturbed, and when she saw that it was Cuizhu looking at her with a smile on her face, she reluctantly pulled out a smile and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Cuizhu replied briskly: "The slave maid is asking the young lady if she wants to go out for a walk, it will be boring if she stays in the house for a long time." ”

Xia Xue'er sighed, glanced at the courtyard and said, "Where can I go when the leaves fall in late autumn?" I don't want to go anywhere. ”

Cuizhu said: "The slave maid sees that the weather is very good today, Miss take us to put the paper kite!" ”

Dongmei also came out and echoed: "Go, go, the slave also wants to go out to play for a while!" ”

Xia Xue'er looked at the two of them with a look of anticipation, looked at the sky and said, "The sky is clear, the autumn is high and cool, it is really suitable for kite flying." ”

Dongmei cheered: "Then I'll go get the paper kite, the eldest young master just sent two over a few days ago, and they have been placed in the warehouse, and they are just used today!" "After that, the people ran away.

Xia Xue'er shouted at the courtyard: "Qiu Ju, don't sweep, let's go out and put paper kites!" Then he instructed Cuizhu: "You go find a small copper bell, it will be useful in a while." ”

Cuizhu saw that Xia Xue'er was coming, and she was also interested and happily went to the warehouse to find Ling'er.

Only the courtyard of Xia Xing was the largest and emptiest in the whole house, and Xia Xue'er led the three girls there.

"The second young master is not in the mansion today, don't worry about arguing with him, we can play to our heart's content!"

"Miss let it go first, and the slaves and maids watched from afar."

Xia Xueer chose a "little swallow" and walked to the center of the courtyard, took out the bell prepared in advance, held it in the palm of her hand, made a sincere wish, and carefully tied the bell in the middle of the rope, and then lifted the paper kite and ran, she wanted to release not only the little swallow, but also her thoughts and blessings!

The three people on the side looked at the girl who was running with a kite string not far away and shouted: "Miss run faster, hurry up!" When they saw the kite riding the wind, they all applauded and cheered, "It's flying!" Miss is awesome, the swallows are flying! ”

Xia Xue'er stopped, holding the kite rope in her hand, staring at the "little swallow" soaring in the air, and her excitement was overflowing. A gust of wind blew, the bell on the rope jingled, and she excitedly called out to the three people not far away: "Do you hear that? Did you hear that? ”

"Well, the jingle bell, crisp and pleasant, it sounds so good!"

Xia Xue'er looked at the little bell swaying in the wind, and silently thought in her heart: Ling'er takes my thoughts about you, and asks Feng'er to send it to you who are far away, even if you are thousands of years apart, I still hope that you can hear this cheerful voice, that is my heartfelt blessing, I only wish you a good day!

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the soaring paper kite broke its line, trembling over the wall and falling on the banyan tree in the courtyard, "Oh, the paper kite is entangled in the tree, what should I do?" The three of them hurriedly ran to Xia Xue'er's side, looking at the "little swallow" who couldn't fly on the big tree.

This scene was fully seen by Mu Feiyang, a white-robed young man standing in the corridor, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and his feet kicked into the air, and "whoosh" flew to the top of the tree in the other courtyard and bent down to take off the paper kite, and flew back with a whoosh, landing steadily in front of Xia Xue'er.

Several people were startled by the sudden appearance of the white-robed young man, and they forgot to speak for a while.

Mu Feiyang glanced Xia Xue'er up and down, and took the lead in asking, "Is this your paper kite?" ”

Hearing the question, Xia Xue'er came back to her senses, gathered the surprise on her face, and replied in a calm tone: "Yes." ”

Mu Feiyang frowned a little unhappily, this girl was obviously still very surprised, she was able to regain her calm in an instant, this mind is not simple. So he picked up the broken rope of the paper kite, and there was a small copper bell tied to the end, and asked with interest, "Why do you want to hang the bell on the rope?" ”

"It's just a little girl's family for fun, and there's no reason."

Mu Feiyang shook the bell in his hand and said, "You are lying, I just saw you look pious when you hung the bell, it doesn't look like a fresh picture." ”

Xia Xue'er pursed her lips and replied very unhappily: "Why should I lie to you, if you want to say that the reason is at most just praying for blessings, nothing special." ”

"Prayer?"

"The bell carries the thoughts of the people who hang the bells, and when the paper kite flies, the person who misses it will hear this thought."

"So you have someone you miss?"

"Everyone has someone they miss, whether it's a friend or a loved one."

"Oh? So why didn't I? ”

Xia Xue'er glanced at the young man, "What's the matter with me?" Please give me back the paper kite! ”

Mu Feiyang said with an evil smile: "Want to?" Then it's up to you. As he spoke, he lifted the paper kite above his head.

Xia Xue'er glanced at Mu Feiyang's figure, which was two heads taller than herself, but she was not angry, and said with a chuckle: "It's just a paper kite, what about giving it to you." Then he turned around and left.

Mu Feiyang hurriedly grabbed Xia Xue'er's wrist, feeling the strength from her wrist, Xia Xue'er frowned, her eyes stared at the initiator, and her eyes were full of monstrous anger. Several little girls were even more frightened when they saw this scene, and they were stunned in place and didn't know why, but Dongmei was the first to react and shouted: "Bold fanatics, do you know what the identity of my young lady is?" Don't let it go yet! ”

Hearing this, Mu Feiyang realized that he had just taken out his hand to restrain the girl's wrist, and hurriedly let go, not knowing what to say for a while. It was Xia Xue'er, who neither blamed nor hit anyone, but just moved her wrist and turned away.

Mu Feiyang looked at Xia Xue'er's back and left decisively, and was at a loss for a while, and only after a while did she shout in the direction of the woman's departure: "My name is Mu Feiyang, what is the girl's name?" ”

Xia Xue'er ignored him, and walked out of the courtyard of Xia Xing without looking back.

Cuizhu asked curiously, "Miss, why didn't you tell him when the boy asked you for your name?" ”

Xia Xueer explained: "Why bother, even if I don't tell him, he will know from others", and then ordered in a deep voice: "None of you are allowed to ignore him, dare to openly tease a girl, it is not a good stubble at first glance!" ”

Mu Feiyang carried Xia Xue'er's paper kite back to Xia Qi's study, and Xia Qi saw him with a depressed look, and asked anxiously, "Has Childe encountered any troubles?" ”

Mu Feiyang threw the paper kite on the table, Xia Qi immediately thought of Xia Xue'er when he saw the paper kite, and just sent her two paper kites a few days ago, one of which was this "little swallow", and only Xia Xue'er, an eccentric in the whole house, would come up with a novel way to hang the bell on the paper kite. Thinking of this, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted and said, "If the sister does anything rude to His Royal Highness, please forgive her for the sake of her young and ignorant." ”

When Mu Feiyang heard this, his heart suddenly felt as if a window had been opened, and he asked happily, "Is she your sister?" ”

Xia Qi was a little confused by Mu Feiyang's sudden excitement, so he could only reply along the way: "If the minister is not mistaken, it should be the third sister of the minister, and she is the only one in this mansion who can come up with such a strange way of playing." ”

"What is Sister Ling's name?"

"Xia Xue'er."

Mu Feiyang thought for a while and said, "I remember that a girl was kidnapped on the fifth brother's birthday, is it her?" ”

"Exactly."

Mu Feiyang stared at Xia Qi with a puzzled expression and said, "I'm curious about who dared to openly kidnap guests at the imperial banquet, and how did she come back safe and sound?" ”

Xia Qi knelt on the ground and replied respectfully: "According to Xiaomei, it was on the way to be hijacked by gangsters that I was fortunate to meet a chivalrous man to rescue her, so I was able to avoid being poisoned." ”

Mu Feiyang nodded and said, "That's reasonable." Then he added seemingly casually: "This qiē can't be directed by you, right?" ”

Xia Qi looked at Mu Feiyang's seemingly casual but actually deep investigation of the city government, although he was shocked in his heart, he didn't show any clues on his face, and only said humbly and arrogantly: "Your Highness is laughing, even if you borrow a few fat guts from the ministers, the ministers will never dare to do such a big rebellious thing, and the ministers have no reason to hinder the sister from participating in the election of the five imperial concubines." ”

"I'm just saying it casually, you don't have to take it personally." Mu Feiyang bent down to help Xia Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Hurry up, I'm not a prince now, just a young master from a rich family like you, don't be polite." Then he muttered in a low voice: "This Xia Xue'er is really an interesting girl!" ”

"Yes." Xia Qi is still a little unclear in his heart, what is the purpose of these six princes to inquire about the third sister? What just happened? Besides, with the wisdom of the sixth prince, since he has already related the arrest of the third sister to himself, how can he believe his three or two sentences?
