Only then did Xu Qirong notice Cao Huaiyu's outfit.

With a purple and gold crown on his head, he is wearing a gold-trimmed pure white cloud brocade tunic with a collar, and a white crane is woven with crane feathers and other bird feathers.

Xu Qirong remembered that she had seen a white peacock once in Dongchang in her previous life, that is, she had just been brought to Dongchang, and in the courtyard of Dongchang, a rare white peacock suddenly opened the screen in the distance. At that time, even though she knew that the road ahead was apprehensive, she was still attracted by this beautiful scenery and was stunned.

Glancing at Cao Huaiyu again, Xu Qirong said in his heart, this person looks like this, he is really like a white peacock.

It's not the same as Cao Huaiyu I met last time at the Shangsi Festival.

I was a little surprised at the moment: "Why are you wearing such a dress?" ”

Cao Huaiyu shook his eyebrows and said proudly: "How is it?" Looks good, right? ”

Xu Qirong saw him shaking his eyebrows, and then he noticed that Cao Huaiyu's eyebrows had been painted, and he used an eyebrow pencil to follow the peak of his eyebrows, gradually deviating from the route of natural growth of his eyebrows.

Xu Qirong couldn't help but shake with Cao Huaiyu's eyebrows, and she suddenly felt a little panicked.

Cao Huaiyu smiled proudly: "How are my eyebrows?" Isn't it majestic? ”

Xu Qirong looked dazed: "Who told you that your eyebrows are very majestic like this?" Then he smiled at the little lady behind him. Well, if you let that little beauty look at your eyebrows, it will probably be too close to you. ”

Cao Huaiyu pouted: "You are really boring to speak." ”

Xu Qirong nodded solemnly: "How can the second son of Cao speak interestingly!" ”

Cao Huaiyu also nodded. Just as she was about to continue, she heard the maid beside her speak: "Childe, Gongzi is here!" ”

Cao Huaiyu's expression changed, and he immediately looked to the side seriously, and then said, "You are here." ”

That posture is quite an opening sentence that describes the meeting of masters in the book of words of Jianghu people.

Xu Qirong was surprised and looked at Cao Huaiyu's gaze. saw a man in a black suit, holding a book in his hand, and the whole person's expression looked so cold.

Gong Jiu didn't look at Xu Qirong. didn't open his eyes to look at Cao Huaiyu, and asked in a thin tone: "Second young master, when will you go back next?" ”

Cao Huaiyu restored the virtue that Xu Qirong saw at the Shangsi Festival, and loosened his back. He raised his head and asked, "Gong Jiu, you have an interesting question...... It's full of lights. The little lady hasn't returned home, and my dignified young master of Caofu is going to leave first? ”

Gong Jiu said lightly: "The second young master doesn't want to go back, at least wipe his eyebrows clean!" ”

Cao Huaiyu was not happy at this time: "Young master, my eyebrows were finally drawn, is it hindering you, or what?" You said wipe it off, then I have no face! ”

Gong Jiu's brows were locked tightly.

Cao Huaiyu stood up with a smile and patted Gong Jiu's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "You don't care about me now, I won't complain in front of my eldest brother later, what do you think?" ”

There was a pause. He also said: "I won't go out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I'll give you a room full of books." ”

Gong Jiu's furrowed brows refused to let go: "I've finished reading all the books in your study." ”

Cao Huaiyu pouted: "Stupid." Young master, I asked Bingqing and Yujie to take someone to the book market yesterday to carry a bunch of new ones back. ”

Then Xu Qirong saw that Gong Jiu pursed his lips, and then brought a stool from another table, and sat next to Cao Huaiyu with a straight back.

It happened to be opposite Xu Qirong.

Xu Qirong was stunned, then looked at the remaining half bowl of mutton soup in his bowl, skimmed the spoon, and sat opposite a person with such a powerful aura, it was strange that she could still drink mutton soup!

Seeing that Xu Qirong left the spoon, Gong Jiu suddenly spoke, frowning and saying to Xu Qirong: "You are too wasteful." ”

Xu Qirong didn't expect such a cold person to speak to her at all, and she was a little stunned at the time. Moreover, although it is a bit of a waste not to drink half a bowl of mutton soup cleanly, it is better than drinking it unpleasantly and making your stomach bloated!

Qiu Nong frowned, she was not affected by Gong Jiu at all, she drank the soup in her bowl in one go, then glanced at Gong Jiu with squinted eyes, picked up the remaining half bowl of soup in front of Xu Qirong, and drank it all.

Then he hiccuped heroically.

Gong Jiu snorted coldly.

Qiu Nong was a little unhappy by this cold snort, and even asked, "What are you humming?" ”

Xu Qirong pursed her lips and didn't speak, she also felt that this Gong Jiu was a little inexplicable.

Gong Jiu actually opened his mouth and said, "Isn't the maid a human?" The leftovers are poured into the maid's stomach when they are cold, and they will not pity the next person! ”

At this time, even Xu Qirong couldn't help it: "This son, are you a little too much?" ”

Gong Jiu opened his mouth, and then was covered by Cao Huaiyu, Cao Huaiyu pulled Gong Jiu away, and said: "Fifth Miss, there is something to do today, I have to go and wash my eyebrows, and I will have a chance to see you again in the future." ”

The maid beside him walked a few steps slowly, and explained to Xu Qirong in a low voice: "Gong Gongzi's temperament is like that, Miss Xu Wu, don't be angry with him...... Gong Gongzi is also a poor person, and the fifth lady must have something to hate at that time. ”

Then I heard Cao Huaiyu shouting in front of me, and hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Qirong and Qiu Nong, and chased after them.

Xu Qirong sighed, looking at the little lady, son-in-law, and children who were full of jacquard lamps around him, and he couldn't bear to be ruined by Gong Jiu's two words, so he pulled Qiu Nong to stand up and said with a smile: "Let's go around, let's take it as a dissipation!" After a while, it's time to go back. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people who are still out here. ”

Qiu Nong nodded: "Just now, the maid noticed that there were a lot fewer people in front of the river lantern, girl, let's go put a river lantern and make a wish, and it should also be appropriate." ”

Xu Qirong nodded, walked through the crowd with Qiu Nong, and walked towards the river.

Qiu Nong paid for two river lanterns from an old woman, and then asked for paper and pencils, Xu Qirong glanced at Qiu Nong's hands tied to himself, and signaled to forget it: "It's just for the occasion, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a small note." ”

Qiu Nong gave up, and the two of them took the river lantern and walked leisurely to a riverside where there were fewer people.

I saw that the lake was full of stars and cold autumn, and ten thousand golden lotus flowers were bright all night. Xu Qirong pursed his lips, Xijing City has always been like this, full of prosperity.

was sighing, suddenly heard Qiu Nong's sigh, smelled it, and found that at some point, Qiu Nong had another river lamp in his hand.

Different from the river lanterns on the river that have all colors, this river lantern is vegan white, not like the river lantern put on this Lantern Festival, but like the river lantern put on the Midyear Festival.

Xu Qirong frowned, then took a closer look, and noticed that the plain white river lamp was a little wet, so he was a little displeased: "Why did you pick up other people's river lanterns?" I don't know what people are asking for when they put this river lantern, you are so reckless, don't you make the owner of this river lantern happy? ”

Qiu Nong was very innocent: "Girl, it's not that the maid is naughty. Then he pointed to a three-tiered golden lotus river lamp, "The lotus lamp squeezed this river lantern into a petal and drowned, and floated to the edge of the river, and the candle on it was extinguished. ”

Xu Qirong found that he was wrong to blame Qiu Nong, so he had to say: "You are the most well-behaved." ”

Then Qiu Nong took a handkerchief to wipe the water on the river lamp, Xu Qirong watched Qiu Nong wipe the river lamp, and then saw something fall out of the river lamp, picked it up and looked at it, but it was a folded note.

The note was already wet, and the ink on it had smudged a lot.

Qiu Nong sighed and asked, "Girl, what is written on the note?" ”

Xu Qirong hesitated, but still opened the note...... The eyes were full of colors, and she was also surprised by the only plain white river lamp.

Although the ink is a little blurry, if you look closely, you can still make it out:

The twilight trees are green, and the sorrow is endless; Grievances are virtue, and the destruction of the room is compensated.

Xu Qirong's hand shook, then folded the note, handed it to Qiu Nong, and ordered: "Put it back quickly!" ”

Qiu Nong saw Xu Qirong's reaction: "What is written on this note?" The girl was scared like this! The movements in his hands were not slow at all, and after a few strokes, the plain white river lantern returned to the surface of the river.

Who made such a bad wish on such a good day as the Lantern Festival? No wonder you want to use plain white river lanterns, if you change to a bright color, with the words inside, wouldn't it be nondescript!

Xu Qirong shook his head and refused to answer Qiu Nong's words. I didn't have any intention of putting the river lantern on the river, so I lit a river lantern with Qiu Nong and put it on the river, and then turned around and planned to leave...... It was still a little cold at this time, and after standing by the river for a while, Xu Qirong's fingers were already cold.

As soon as the master and servant turned around, they were startled, Xu Qirong just looked at the note, and then saw the scene in front of him, and almost fell into the lotus river. Fortunately, the left hand and Qiu Nong's right hand were tied together, and such a block was enough for Qiu Nong to pull Xu Qirong back and stabilize it.

I saw a tall man and a short guy with a boy's bun, looking at Xu Qirong, obviously Xu Qirong had just seen the note in the river lamp.

This didn't scare Xu Qirong, what scared Xu Qirong was the masks on the faces of the two people. It is a mask that has not been depicted, lined with the color of flowers and lanterns all over the city, which looks a little weird. (To be continued......)
