As soon as the provocative people left, because there was no good show to watch, the rest of the people also dispersed, and there were only two people left who were good with Meng Yuqing, who were holding grievances for Meng Yuqing.

"You shouldn't stop me just now, that kind of person should just slap his mouth wide, otherwise there will be a jump next time!"

The person who spoke was General Zhao's wife, Chen, and she was also anxious, so she almost couldn't help but do it, but was stopped by Meng Yuqing.

"Slapping your mouth can only be happy once, these people who are in a hurry to find no pain, they should let them come a few more times, just come and humiliate once!"

The one who answered the call was the wife of the soldier squire, who was more scheming than the Chen family.

"Why bother with those people, my family Yuhan said, what doesn't attract envy is mediocrity, and I am proud to see them come up one by one to say sour things." Meng Yuqing sipped tea slowly, but she was the most open.

"Tut-tut." The two ladies shook their heads and smacked their tongues, and said in their hearts that those who said sour things were not all recruited by your family!

An Ruolan listened to the chatter of the elders, and looked up from time to time to look outside the second door through the beaded curtain, the sound of firecrackers had already sounded twice, and the seats in the inner hall were almost full, and the male guests were about to enter the seats after a while.

According to the custom of the great feast, the time when the male guests and the female relatives enter the banquet are separated before and after.

Generally speaking, the female family members first enter the inner hall of the banquet hall and are entertained by the hostess's house, and then the male guests enter the outer hall and are entertained by the host's family, and before that, the male host's family will entertain the male guests in other rooms until all the female relatives are seated.

It is because before the male guests enter the table, the female relatives cannot see the host's house of the banquet guests, so they can only wait until the male guests are seated and take a faint look through the beaded curtain separating the inner and outer halls.

Before the feast, firecrackers are set off three times, each with a different meaning: after the first sound, the women are seated; After the second ring, the male guests can take their seats; The third sound is a feast.

Now that the firecrackers have gone off twice, the male guests are about to take their seats.

As soon as the male guest enters the table, as the eldest son of Wei Guofu, Wei Xing will definitely entertain the guests with Wei Guogong, and she will be able to see him then.

An Ruolan was secretly happy.

Sure enough, after a short while, there were bursts of footsteps at the door, and after singing and cheering, Wei Guogong, dressed in a luxurious cloud brocade robe, led the male guests into the outer hall.

Hearing the movement, An Ruolan immediately stretched her neck to look out, through the swaying bead curtain, she saw several familiar faces, in addition to her uncle, her two uncles were also there, and her cousin Zhao Yi, just looked at it, until everyone was seated, she still didn't see the person she was thinking about.

How so? The guard is not there?!

She was so anxious that she almost jumped up.

A flash of inspiration flashed in my head.

Yes, the guards don't like such noisy scenes. In his previous life, every time the Weiguo Mansion held a banquet, Wei Xing only showed his face when receiving guests, and then he would find a clean place to hide and relax, thinking that this time it was the same, he showed his face in front of the male guests, and left after saying hello, and did not come with him to entertain.

If that were the case, wouldn't she not see him again?

No, she couldn't do that!

She finally got this opportunity, how could she be disappointed?

Say anything, she also wants to see the guard!

With a mess in her heart, An Ruolan couldn't sit still, seeing that she was about to start the banquet, the impulse in her heart made her stand up unconsciously and suddenly.

Zhou Mi'er, who was sitting next to her, was startled by her sudden move, and seeing that her face was pale and anxious, she couldn't help but pull her sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Are you feeling unwell? ”

Realizing what she had done, An Ruolan's heart trembled, she smiled busily to hide it, shook her head and said, "No, nothing, I ......" Halfway through the words, an inspiration suddenly moved in her mind, she changed her words, covered her stomach and pretended to be uncomfortable: "Cousin, my stomach is a little uncomfortable......"

"Huh?" Zhou Mi'er was startled and asked urgently, "Why is it suddenly uncomfortable?" ”

"I don't know, maybe I got a cold last night." An Ruolan had a bitter face, and she didn't dare to look at Zhou Mi'er's face with a weak heart.

At this time, Meng Yuqing also noticed the movement here and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Lan'er has a stomachache." Zhou Mi'er whispered.

Meng Yuqing frowned and asked, "Is it a cold or a bad stomach?" Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? ”

An Ruolan hurriedly shook her head and said embarrassedly: "Just go to the thatched house." ”

Hearing this, Meng Yuqing and Zhou Mi'er both looked relieved, and said with a smile: "I thought it was so strict." ”

After that, Meng Yuqing called the maid of the Weiguo Mansion who was standing on the side, and explained a few words in a low voice, and the maid nodded and made a gesture of invitation to An Ruolan.

An Ruolan got up and followed the maid.

Meng Yuqing advised: "Go and come back quickly, it looks like the banquet is about to start." ”

"Got it!" An Ruolan answered, and ran away with the maid in a hurry.

Out of the banquet living room, An Ruolan asked the maid to lead the way in front, and she followed behind, when passing by a rockery, she took advantage of the maid's inattention, quickly dodged to the back of the rockery, and quietly hidden.

The maid turned around and found that the person was lost, so she immediately turned back to look for the person, and when the maid walked away, An Ruolan secretly slipped out from behind the rockery, followed the memory, and touched the courtyard where the former life guard lived in the prison.

She wasn't sure if Wei Xing lived in that courtyard now, and she wasn't sure if he was there right now, she only knew that it was the courtyard where they used to live together, and she didn't know where to look for him except there, Wei Guofu was so big, she could only fight for luck.

Along the way, she ran very quickly, and the feeling of desperate to see him made her not tired, even if she fell, bruised, or hurt, she could get up as fast as she could, and then continue to run.

She was afraid, afraid that if she slowed down a little, she would be found, and she would be taken back to the banquet room, and she could no longer convince herself, she could not bear to come back here, but she would not see him.

If she can't see him, what does the Weiguo Mansion mean to her?

If she can't see him, how can she keep going in the days to come?

After thinking about it for so long, how could she be willing not to even see his face?

How can you be willing......

"Ahh

I don't remember the first time she tripped and fell, she screamed and fell to the ground, her scarred palm was bruised again, but as if she didn't notice the pain, she raised her hand and wiped her face full of tears at some point, and got up again.

Looking at the extremely familiar courtyard gate in front of him, his eyes once again surged with heat.

She arrived.

This is the courtyard where they lived together.

Looking up at the empty plaque above the courtyard gate, she smiled stupidly until she burst into tears.

The plaque, which was originally smooth and clean, without half a handwriting, gradually conjured up the three words buried deep in her heart in her vision blurred by tears.

"Nuo Lan Ju, Nuo Lan Ju, you said that this courtyard is your promise to me, life and life, with only one person ...... white-headed"

I just don't know if you will still engrave those three words on this plaque in this life.

Wiping away her tears, she stepped step by step in front of the courtyard gate and pushed open the half-hidden courtyard door.

The snow fell without warning, and was blown away by the cold wind, and when the wind stopped, she saw through the falling snowflakes the back of the courtyard standing in the middle of the courtyard.

Tall and powerful, not much different from what I remember, only thinner and thinner.

"Woo......" She raised her hand to cover the sobs that were about to exit, trying to keep her eyes open wide, not wanting tears to blur her vision.

It's him, and she's finally seeing him again!

Tears soaked her palm, stimulating the stinging pain of the wound in her palm, but she was pleasantly reluctant to look away, for fear that he would disappear again in the blink of an eye. She didn't dare to make a sound, fearing that this qiē was just a sweet dream of hers, and once she was woken up, he would disappear.

However, her presence still alarmed him.

The young man's back was stunned, and he slowly turned around, and then, An Ruolan saw the face that had been thinking about him these days.

There is a little difference with the calm and handsome appearance in the memory, the young man's eyebrows and eyes are still a little childish, and the thin lips are just like the light color in the memory, but the original heroic facial features, against the backdrop of the slightly rounded face, show a bit of cuteness, which is exciting.

An Ruolan carefully looked at his straight nose, slightly raised phoenix eyes, as well as the slanted sword eyebrows and full forehead, compared with his mature appearance in his previous life, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Wei Xing looked at the girl who suddenly appeared, crying and laughing for a while, and described as a wolf, and subconsciously pursed his lips.

"Which lady are you, how did you get here?" He opened his mouth to ask, and a slightly hoarse cold voice pulled An Ruolan's distant thoughts back.

"I'm ......" An Ruolan almost blurted out the three words, licked her dry lips, and said with her head down: "I am the cousin and niece of Lord Shangshu Zhou of the Ministry of Rites, who came to attend the banquet and accidentally got lost." ”

screamed frantically in her heart, wanting to tell him her true identity, but she couldn't, she couldn't involve the second aunt and cousin who brought her over.

No matter how eager and crazy she is, she still remembers that she is no longer An Ruolan in her previous life, and Wei Xing is no longer the Wei Xing who was dedicated to her in her previous life, and now they are just strangers who meet for the first time, although her heart has long been filled with him.

"Lost?" A faint, puzzled voice sounded.

"Well, I'm lost." An Ruolan nodded affirmatively, clenching his palms tightly, for fear that he would not believe it.

Wei Xing frowned, his eyes fell on her scarred palm, paused, and said, "You are injured." ”

An Ruolan felt a little pain at this time, and quickly hid her hand behind her, pretending not to care and shaking her head in a panic: "No, it's okay, I just fell down." ”

Wei Xing looked at her stubborn appearance pretending to be strong, his heart moved, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

Just two simple words, An Ruolan almost burst into tears.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all...... she gritted her teeth and held back her tears, with your words, no matter how painful it is, it's sweet.

Seeing her holding back her tears, Wei Xing was slightly stunned, took out the snow satin embroidered handkerchief in his arms, walked in front of her, and hesitantly stretched out his hand.

"Woo woo woo ......" An Ruolan finally couldn't bear it, biting her lip and crying out loud.

She didn't pick up the handkerchief in his hand, but clutched his sleeve tightly, like a lost child who had finally found support, aggrieved and happy.

Wei Xing was a little at a loss, he stood stunned, and only after a long time did he spit out a sentence: "I'll send you back to the front." ”

As soon as the cold palm was warm, it was stuffed into a handkerchief, An Ruolan choked and nodded, grabbed his sleeve, and led him out of the courtyard gate, walking back and forth.

The snowflakes were like goose feathers, swaying and falling on the two of them, at this moment, An Ruolan had only one wish in his heart, hoping that this road would be a little longer, and that the passage of time would be slower.
