"Ning Mei wants to step forward?"

Gu Qingyun asked, Xie Ning came back to his senses from the conversation with Tang Xin, raised his eyes and saw the people waiting under the shade of the willows by the lake, knowing that she was kindly reminding, so he turned his head and smiled at her, and walked to the sword-wielding maid.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao also smiled at her and asked aloud, "Miss Xie is ready?" ”

"Hmm," Xie Ning nodded, and seeing that all the women had retreated to her side, he took the long sword from the handmaiden's hand and motioned for Mrs. Xiao to take shelter for the time being.

The last time she used the sword was in Tianlin Fang, and now that two months have passed, Xie Ning can't help but be a little rusty, but she has already said it in front, and at this time, she can only do her best.

With a "hiss", the sword was drawn out of its sheath, and the slightly dazzling sunlight reflected a cold glow on the smooth sword body. Xie Ning couldn't raise his hand to cover his eyes like everyone else, but secretly used his internal force, jumped agilely, and did the actions of oblique splitting, reverse picking, and sweeping in one go.

The so-called swordsmanship is sometimes a move that has no tricks to win.

What's more, at this time, it is not an enemy on the battlefield, Xie Ning does not have to scruple a lot, as long as the sword moves are good-looking, they can win the applause of everyone, and Mrs. Xiao will send the prepared color head.

Thinking of this, Shainin's figure in the air suddenly froze. A breeze blew, and the whole person looked like he was crumbling.

When everyone was frightened, they saw her soaring into the air again, holding her sword forward, stepping lightly on the willow trunk by the lake, and finally landing dangerously among the branches.

That wasn't the end of it, Shainin stood on the tree for a while, making sure that the thick willow tree could hold her weight. He put his mind at ease, touched the ground with one foot, changed his body back and forth, and played swordsmanship on the tree.

But this scene fell in the eyes of everyone below, but they could only see a few sword shadows that seemed to be real and imaginary, as well as the verdant willow leaves that floated to the water and the ground, as for the figure of the person holding the sword, it seemed to be melted into the shadow of the sword light and leaves, which made people indistinguishable.

"No wonder this Xie Ning can help King An train soldiers and suppress bandits, it turns out that she has such martial arts."

"Isn't her father a military general? Something to do. Naturally, it's not worth mentioning. ”

……

I don't know who started the topic first, and everyone started to talk about it. It's just that after all, they still maintained the posture of looking up, and their eyes looked in Shainin's direction without blinking. I'm afraid I'll miss her next amazing move.

"It's so beautiful!"

It was not only the willow leaves beside Shainin that fell. The two locust trees planted diagonally next to the willow tree. Flowers also fell little by little from the branches, and after being swept by Xie Ning's sword wind, they swirled leisurely in the air.

Among the people. I don't know who sighed first. Turning his eyes, he saw the white acacia flowers floating down in clusters, and someone couldn't help but reach out to catch them, and his palms were dyed with a touch of fragrance.

Xie Ning also smelled the fragrance of this acacia flower, she didn't think much about it at first, but when the fragrance lingering in her nose became stronger and stronger, she couldn't help but be a little curious, stopped her sword move, and turned her eyes to look in the direction of the strong fragrance.

There happened to be wind today, but after a moment's effort, the garden was full of the fragrance of acacia flowers. Xie Ning looked down, only to suddenly realize that there was also a tuft on his hair.

Immediately, he jumped under the tree, stretched out his hand straight, and followed the sword, just in time to catch the locust flower that had just fallen from his head.

"Good!" A cheer came, Xie Ning looked up, and saw Tang Xin, who was standing not far away, clapping his hands.

Xie Ning smiled at her, and when she caught a glimpse of the maid named Qianxue, she put away the long sword and handed it back to the other party.

Qian Xue glanced at her, but couldn't help but praise: "Miss is really good at swordsmanship." ”

Xie Ning is not an overly modest person, and when he heard her words, he first subconsciously smiled back, "I practiced martial arts when I was a child, and I am better at this swordsmanship." ”

"I see." Qian Xue nodded knowingly, turned around Yingying, and walked out of the garden with her sword in her arms.

Shainin didn't notice where she went. Fang used the sword for a while, although she didn't perform any fatal tricks, but it took a lot of physical strength to jump.

At the time, I didn't feel it, but now that I stopped, two layers of fine sweat inevitably oozed from my forehead, and my body was also sweaty, which was very tireless.

Xie Ning, who was uncomfortable, wanted to find a place to freshen up a little, but who knew that Qian Xue had just left one moment ago, and the next moment in the garden, Mrs. Xiao's voice came from the garden - "Miss Wei's painting skills are exquisite, but Miss Xie is also excellent at swordsmanship." For a while, I didn't know which of you two should give this lottery head. ”

Hearing this, Xie Ning couldn't help but feel nervous, and subconsciously began to search for Wei Qingcheng's trace in the crowd. But seeing that she was standing with Gu Qingyun, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her attention to Mrs. Xiao.

seemed to notice Xie Ning's gaze, and the other party suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "How about this?" Anyway, I have two kinds of lottery heads. Since the two of you are inseparable, it is better to choose one of them. ”

never thought that Mrs. Xiao would propose like this, Xie Ning was dumbfounded, but his brain turned extremely fast,

As soon as the other party's voice fell, she raised her voice anxiously: "No." ”

"Not necessarily."

At the same time, another voice rang out from the crowd. This slightly soft timbre is exactly what Shainin is familiar with. She didn't even have to look up to know that this was what Wei Chengcheng said.

But she still couldn't help but look up - Wei Qingcheng's previous stubbornness, she saw it completely in her eyes, but now she suddenly refused, which was really unexpected by Xie Ning.

Could it be that it was her own rhetoric that dispelled her thoughts? Thinking of a certain possibility, Xie Ning's heart moved, but he didn't think about it anymore.

In her opinion, it would be good for Wei Tingcheng to take the initiative to give up at this time. As for the reason, it doesn't matter if you don't know.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but Mrs. Xiao, on the other hand, couldn't help but be embarrassed by such a direct refusal from the two of them.

Noticing the silence around him, Xie Ning realized that something was wrong, and secretly complained in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and say, "Little girl...... The little girl is just a small skill of carving insects, although you will not give up. But it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. When it comes to real talent and learning, Miss Wei is more prosperous. ”

Wei Xiaomei has no intention of competing with her, presumably she will take a step back at this time, and she will not choose Mrs. Xiao's wish.

"Sister Xie is modest," Wei Tingcheng walked out of the crowd and bowed to Xie Ning, although his face was a little pale, his voice was much louder than before, and his expression was also downcast and generous, "If it weren't for Sister Gu's piano music to pull his heart." Where can I draw so smartly? The lottery head prepared by the lady. It's only right that you own it. ”

"Poof," Mrs. Xiao chuckled, hiding her eyes from thinking, and said in a mocking tone, "You two don't have to fight." Miss Wei is right. Just when she was painting. It was indeed with Miss Gu who stepped forward. This is a lottery. I think it's up to you, Miss Xie, to choose. ”

It's not just one person who chooses one. As for who won the lottery either she or Wei Tingcheng, it didn't matter at this time. Xie Ning's heart was relieved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. But she still remembered that it was in front of people. He was not carried away by joy, took three steps forward, and said to Mrs. Xiao slightly: "Thank you, Mrs. for the gift." The little girl is willing to choose the scriptures. ”

Although she had already known Xie Ning's answer, when Mrs. Xiao heard this, she still raised her eyebrows without a trace, but did not say anything, but smiled and motioned to the maidservant beside her to take the Buddhist scriptures that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Miss Xie, it is too early for the banquet to disperse, and Madame has already intended to invite you to wander around the garden in the mansion. Why don't you just leave this sutra in the custody of the slave and maid until you leave, and then return it to you? After a short time, the maidservant girl walked up to Xie Ning with a scroll of scriptures in her hand.

The other party was thoughtful, and Xie Ning naturally had no need to refuse, so he nodded immediately. But who knew that this maid had been following her since then, so that she didn't even have time to talk to others and Wei Tingcheng, so she had to say a few innocuous jokes to Tang Xin and Wei Tingcheng from time to time, or to say a few words to each other under Mrs. Xiao's initiative.

To say that Xie Ning himself has no ill feelings towards Mrs. Xiao, even if he learned from Qin Feng that she was not Xiao Fu's mother, he never disliked her when they met. But in Lanyue Tower before, she did hear the bad relationship between her and Xiao Yan from the other party's whisper.

Therefore, although I didn't have any bad feelings about her, I couldn't help but be a little more vigilant in my heart. When answering, the attitude is with alienated courtesy, although there are questions to answer, but what should not be said, but not a word.

However, Mrs. Xiao didn't talk to her much, after all, the other party was going to choose a family for Xiao Yan today, and the matter of Caitou was just a small temptation. Words and deeds are what she should pay attention to, so the more than 20 noble girls who came here today, she said a few words, except for Gu Qingyun, she has never been too warm to anyone, nor has she been too cold to anyone.

But this approach can't help but give people a sense of imminent separation.

Xie Ning paid attention to Mrs. Xiao's approach clearly, and he couldn't help but sweat even more for Xiao Yan. After all, according to Qin Feng's statement, the eldest son of Shangshu Mansion has an extremely unfriendly relationship with his family. Not to mention Xiao Shangshu, just Mrs. Xiao's slick way of doing things...... If the other party really intends to deal with Xiao Yan, I am afraid that he will have to suffer.

It was easy to get to the dismissal, Xie Ning finally took the scriptures from the hands of the conscientious maidservant, and after scribbling thanks, he turned around to find Wei Tingcheng's figure and pulled her out of Xiao's mansion.

"Sister Ning."

What came before the gentle man's voice was the handsome face of the other party that caught her eye. Seeing Wei Qingyang waiting outside the door of Shangshu Mansion, Xie Ning was a little excited in his heart, grinned, and shouted: "Brother Qingyang." ”

Wei Xiaomei's mind is naturally the clearest for Wei Qingyang, who is a brother. No matter how much Shainin said, if he couldn't feel her veins, it would be tantamount to scratching his boots.

"Well," Wei Qingyang bowed slightly, his gaze swept over Xie Ning, and when he fell on Wei Tingcheng, he couldn't help but darken a little, frowned and asked, "Allure, what's wrong?" ”

It's okay that he didn't ask, but now that these words landed, Wei Qingcheng suddenly lowered his head, bit his lip with his teeth, and shook his head with tears in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

Wei Qingyang couldn't, so he had to step forward, stretch out his hand and take Wei Tingcheng into his arms and pat it a few times, while glancing at Xie Ning inquiringly.

The sound of footsteps in his ears became heavier and heavier, and Xie Ning was afraid that this scene would cause criticism in the eyes of others, so he glanced at Wei Qingyang deeply and said softly: "Let's get in the car first." ”

Wei Qingyang immediately understood, said "yes", and helped Wei Qingcheng into the carriage.

Xie Ning followed closely, but who knew that she was about to step up, Wei Qingyang got out of the car again, bent down slightly, and stretched out his hand to her.

Xie Ning couldn't help but be stunned, and just wanted to subconsciously refuse, and went around to the other side to get into the car, but found that the carriage was not too big, and there were already two coachmen and Wei Qingyang standing outside the curtain, and she couldn't afford to make a detour anymore.

Xie Ning was entangled for a moment, his eyes turned around, and he couldn't find a place to get into the car, and when he retracted his gaze, he just met Wei Qingyang's smiling eyes.

The two of them are already married......

Xie Ning thought of this fact in hindsight, so he didn't hold on too much, stretched out his hand and put it on the palm of the other party, and with a little bit of strength, he stood firmly in front of Wei Qingyang.

"Let's go," saw her stand firm, and let go of her warm, dry palm.

The two entered the carriage one after another, but they didn't expect to see the scene of Wei Chengcheng cowering in the corner of the car wall.

Exchanging a worried look with Wei Qingyang, Xie Ning was just about to walk towards Wei Qingcheng, but was pulled by the other party's sleeve.

Xie Ning looked back in confusion, but saw Wei Qingyang gently shake his head and said in a low voice, "Let her be quiet first." ”

As an elder brother, Wei Qingyang obviously knows more about Wei Xiaomei than he does. Xie Ning didn't hesitate too much, so he sat opposite Wei Qingyang with Wei Qingyang, took a carriage, and went all the way to the Wei Mansion. Unbeknownst to him, at this moment, Qin Feng was also sitting in the carriage parked on the opposite street, retracting his gaze looking out of the window.

"Hmph," Seeing this situation, Xiao Yan, who was in the same car, couldn't help but speak, but said sarcastically: "Qin Ziyue, Qin Ziyue, you have done so much for Xie Ning in vain, and now, she hasn't run away with others." ”

Qin Feng glanced at him, but his expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, she has a marriage contract with Wei Qingyang, so she will naturally be closer." ”

Xiao Yan has always been a temperament of what he wants to say, where would he be afraid of his cold face, so he immediately said "hehe" twice, raised his eyebrows and approached: "It turns out that you also know that she has a marriage contract now?" I've forgotten about it. Why, do you have to wait until she and Wei Qingyang get married, are you willing to let go? Or will you still have to keep your mind set on it then? ”

Qin Feng frowned slightly, sank his face, and stretched out his hand to push him away, "I clearly told you that this marriage may have something else going on." (To be continued.) )
