Chapter Thirty-Six: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

On the tenth day of the first month of March, it is the warm sun of the rising sun, and the peach blossoms under the slight refraction are gently swaying, as if the spring breeze is blowing, and it seems to be cool and like the mottled shadow on the ground, which inadvertently touches people's hearts.

The fragrance of flowers came to his nose, and Tang Shaohe stood in the pavilion in the back half of his uncle's house, looking at a pink peach forest in the middle of the mountain, and felt comfortable.

Today is the day when Mrs. An made a decision for the fourth aunt, and I heard that the marquis Xu also came, so it can be seen that she is also very careful about this matter, or maybe it is an ulterior motive?

Whatever the reason, she didn't want to get involved.

Just now, I saw that the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt were busy greeting Mrs. An in the flower hall, so she had to go with the lobby sister to visit the fourth sister, and found that the fourth sister's mood had improved a lot, and her attitude had obviously improved compared to before, which made her a little flattered.

"Fourth sister, I heard from the fourth aunt that you have been staying in the house and never going out...... How can this be? Tang Shaoyingyu, the lobby sister, held the fourth sister's hand, patted it gently, and said with a smile: "You see that the weather is so good today, it's rare that the sisters have come to see you, why don't you go out and breathe?" ”

The fourth sister, Tang Shaozhi, was about to nod, when she suddenly heard a sweet and soft laughter coming with her, "Fourth sister, the second sister has come to see you." ”

The door curtain beads swayed, and the second cousin Tang Shaozhi was wearing a lilac dress, and walked in with a graceful lotus step.

Tang Shaohe stood quietly aside and shouted to her, "Second cousin! ”

Second cousin Tang Shaozhi nodded to her, walked up to Tang Shaozhi, and asked with a soft smile: "How is it, are you in good spirits?" ”

The fourth sister, Tang Shaozhi, jumped off the kang happily, threw herself into Tang Shaozhi's arms affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Second sister, why are you only here now?" It makes me want to die. ”

"Look at you, such a big person, still like a child, how can the fourth aunt rest assured that you will get married?" Tang Shaozhi gently stroked her back, held her shoulders with both hands, looked at her seriously, and said with a serious face: "Fourth sister, have you thought clearly?" This is no child's play, and once you choose that path, it will be difficult for you to regret it. ”

"Second sister, don't worry, I've decided what to do." A sweet smile appeared on Tang Shaozhi's slightly pale face, which made Tang Shaohe, who was standing on the side, feel a little incredible.

What is the secret between the second cousin and the fourth sister? Why does the words always make people feel uneasy? Is she overthinking?

Looking back at the smiling hall sister, a pair of charming phoenix eyes were shining with essence, and she seemed to understand the meaning of the words of the second cousin and the fourth sister.

She is the only one who can't understand! What kind of choice did the fourth sister make? She really wants to know, is the fourth sister's decision related to her?

The figure flashed in front of him, Tang Shaohe came back to his senses, and when he saw that they were all out of the house, he couldn't help biting his lip secretly and followed quickly.

Coming to the peach blossom forest on the back mountain, Tang Shaohe watched the three of them laughing and playing in the forest, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a bitter smile.

About half an hour later, the three of them walked up to her with sweaty and bright smiles.

Tang Shaoying stretched out a finger as slender as magnolia and pushed her forehead, her delicate lips opened lightly, and she ordered: "Go, make us a pot of tea, we will wait for you in that pavilion." ”

Tang Shaohe hurriedly responded, turned around and walked down the mountain, his mood was like a mixture of five flavors, which made people sour and uncomfortable.

went to the teahouse to make a pot of tea, then took some desserts and took them to the back mountain, and when they arrived at the pavilion next to the peach forest, Tang Shaohe found that there was no one, even the maid who served was nowhere to be seen.

This is strange, the lobby sister clearly said that she was waiting for them here, why did she disappear in a blink of an eye? Are you still playing in the peach blossom forest?

Tang Shaohe came to the peach blossom forest with questions, shouting, bending down to look for it, and walking more and more inside.

Suddenly, a familiar and frightened man's voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Huh? It's you—"

The tall and thin figure appeared in front of her, and she screamed in fright, and hurriedly raised her head to look at the person who came, "Master Xu?" ”

Suddenly, as if she had been struck by lightning, she froze in place, her eyes showing a look of wariness and fear.

"Why are you here?" The two said in unison.

After speaking, the corners of Xu Shi'an's mouth hooked a strange shallow arc, bent his body, tilted his head sideways to see her face clearly.

Tang Shaohe covered his forehead with his hands, lowered his head, looked at the way down the mountain, secretly took a deep breath, took two steps back, lifted his skirt and ran straight down the mountain.

"You want to run?" Xu Shi'an, who realized that he was being ignored as if he was in the air, jumped to his feet in anger, and hurriedly raised his feet to chase in her direction, shouting while chasing: "Stop for this marquis!" Do you hear that? Let this marquis catch you, and you will be miserable! ”

Seeing that he was about to catch up, Tang Shaohe was so panicked that his whole heart was about to jump out of his throat, in case he was caught, not to mention how he would serve her, and this was the fourth uncle's mansion, if she was seen, her reputation in this life would be ruined.

Then I thought, this is the backyard in the middle of the mountain, how could he, a big man, suddenly appear here? And it just so happened that the lobby sister and they were all gone, and there were those maids and women who served, it was impossible for none of them to stay here and wait, unless- the lobby sister set up a bureau waiting for her to jump in!

Is it too despicable to do so? What's more, Mrs. An has already come over to make up her mind, if there is any more slander, the reputation of the Tang Mansion will be over, and the future marriage of the lobby sisters will also be affected, is this a good thing or a bad thing for them? It's nonsense! Framing her won't bring them so ruthless!

couldn't run away from him, Tang Shaohe had no choice but to stop, stretched out his hand to make a stop movement, and panted: "Stop...... Stop, let me say two words! ”

Xu Shi'an stopped, his eyes fell on her red cheeks, and his heart paused slightly, this delicate appearance made him a little appere.

He stabilized his mind, a smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth, and chuckled: "Say it! If you say it well, this Hou Ye will consider letting you go, if you say it is not good, don't blame this Hou Ye for treating you. ”

Tang Shaohe looked at the quiet back mountain around him, bit his lip, raised his feet and went to the pavilion, and said as he walked: "I think Master Hou is also thirsty, why don't you follow me over there to have a cup of tea and rest?" ”

"Oh? Good! What tricks do you want to play? He snorted disdainfully, thinking that she wouldn't dare to run away, she wouldn't be able to run away from him anyway.

Xu Shi'an flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind him, and slowly followed her to the place where he was resting.

Tang Shaohe grabbed the silk handkerchief in both hands, his heart was beating very hard, since he couldn't escape, he couldn't beat it, now there is only one way to do it.
