"Now that the arrangements have been made, my father can rest assured that he will go back to his room to rest. If anything goes wrong, I will have someone tell my father. Seeing this, Han Chengji said.

Han Xu knew his physical condition, and after nodding, he was helped up by his subordinates.

Han Chengji was also pushed out of the study.

Before the father and son parted ways in front of the outer study, Han Chengji suddenly asked, "Where does my father plan to arrange the person who shot Yan Jianzhan today?" ”

He knew Han Xu's character very well, and since he had met that person in person, he must have the intention of recruiting him.

But Han Xu shook his head with a little regret and said, "He didn't agree-"

Didn't say yes?

Han Chengji was extremely surprised.

Thinking back to those deep blue eyes, I always felt that they should not be the eyes of an unenterprising person......

I also saw that his pace was steady, his archery skills were extraordinary, and he was clearly a person who practiced martial arts.

It's incomprehensible not to let such a great opportunity go.

But thinking of the look of those eyes when they looked at him, Han Chengji frowned slightly.

He had never been exposed to such strange feelings in a person before.

Although it was the first time they met, the aura between the two seemed to be innately repulsive and antagonistic.

After Han Chengji returned to Wenli Garden, he heard that Qu Xiangtao and Qu Xiangyang, the two siblings, had already been waiting in the front hall.

Han Chengji came to the front hall, and saw Qu Xiangtao and Qu Xiangyang sitting there eating tea.

Seeing him coming, the two hurriedly stood up, and Qu Xiangtao stepped forward with joy and took two steps, saying, "I heard that the eldest cousin had returned home early in the morning, thinking that the eldest cousin must be very tired from his long journey, so I didn't come over to disturb my cousin's rest—"

In fact, it was Qu who stopped her from coming.

Seeing the sun sinking in the west, Qu Xiangtao got Qu's nod.

Han Chengji looked at the girl in front of him without a trace.

Today, Qu Xiangtao is wearing a light cyan jacket skirt, with large clusters of snow-white pear blossoms embroidered on the cuffs, and there is only a pair of plum blossom silver hairpins next to the black hair bun.

I still remember that when Qu Xiangtao first came to Hanfu, he still loved bright colors such as red, pink, and gold, and there were always gold and jade things on his head.

The gradual change seems to be careless.

But once compared with the beginning, the deliberateness could not be more obvious.

"Something?" Han Chengji restrained the mockery in his eyes and asked slowly.

Qu Xiangtao faintly sensed that Han Chengji's attitude towards her was not as kind as before.

Could it be that he was too tired from a long trip and was in a bad mood?

Although he found a reasonable explanation, Qu Xiangtao couldn't help but become cautious, pulled Qu Xiangyang on the side, and said, "Brother Yang is going back to Yunzhou tomorrow, so I came here to say goodbye to my cousin." ”

Qu Xiangyang has always been afraid of Han Chengji, who is not smiling, and said with some restraint: "Yes, I am resigning from my eldest cousin......"

In fact, if he really wants to talk about it, he doesn't need to come over to ask Liyuan about his resignation.

The reason why he came over was not because he was forced by his own sister......

Thinking of this, Qu Xiangyang pursed his lips slightly dissatisfied.

Although he lowered his head, he still asked Ah Lu on the side to see it, and these days, Ah Lu can be regarded as understanding Qu Xiangtao's thoughts about the young master, and after a little thought, he understood.

Where did this young master come to resign, he was obviously pulled to be a 'shield'......

Han Chengji didn't seem to know anything, and after a "hmm" sound, he looked at Qu Xiangtao and asked, "Isn't my cousin going back with me?" ”

Qu Xiangtao glanced at him, then quickly dodged his gaze, forced himself to calm his heart beating too violently, and replied with a smile: "I want to stay with my aunt for a few more days...... My father and mother also wrote back and agreed. ”

In fact, why they stayed, everyone knew it.

Qu Xiangtao saw that Han Chengji no longer spoke, so he took the initiative to find a topic, and said sweetly: "I lost so badly in chess with my cousin last time, so I have been looking for someone to practice chess on the xth day in the past half month, and I played a game with my second cousin yesterday and narrowly won——"

Speaking of this, his voice brought a pleasant smile, and he continued: "If the eldest cousin is not busy, why don't you try my chess skills to improve a little?" ”

In the past, as long as she said this, the eldest cousin would definitely agree.

However, this time, I heard Han Chengji say lightly: "Let's change the day." ”

"......" Qu Xiangtao was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze.

"It's getting late." Han Chengji glanced out of the hall and said.

Qu Xiangtao also subconsciously turned his head to look out of the hall.

The daylight on the horizon is fading, but there is still some distance from sinking into the western mountain.

Playing a game or two before dark is obviously not a problem.

She didn't know why it was getting late......

Looking at Han Chengji, who looked indifferent, Qu Xiangtao always felt that something was different.

There was no reason for a panic in my heart.

She wanted to say something, and she wanted to ask Han Chengji why he suddenly treated herself like this.

But she still had some sense, and knew that with her current status, she really had no reason to ask these words.

Although she didn't have too much of the reserve of the young lady, she still didn't dare to go beyond it like this.

After swallowing his stomach, Qu Xiangtao left Wenli Yuan in despair.

I wanted to go back to Yishuang Courtyard, where I lived temporarily in Hanfu, but I left Qu Xiangyang halfway and went to Zhengzhi Courtyard alone.

As soon as Qu Shi served Han Xu, who had drunk the medicine, to lie down, he heard that Qu Xiangtao was coming.

When I walked out of the bedroom to the second room, I saw Qu Xiangtao pacing around with an uneasy face.

Looking at her unsteady appearance, Qu's face was a little unsightly.

"Auntie-" Seeing Qu coming over, Qu Xiangtao hurriedly took a few steps to greet him.

After Qu Shi retreated, Fang frowned and said, "What kind of body do you look like?" ”

"Auntie, I ......" Facing the stern Qu family, Qu Xiangtao felt very aggrieved.

"If you have something to say, it's good to say." Seeing this, Qu softened his tone and asked, "Didn't you go to ask Liyuan, why did you come back so soon?" ”

No matter how Qu Xiangtao is, she is the next housewife of the Han family in her mind.

She had spent so much energy before and after, and she didn't care about any more patience.

"Aunt, eldest cousin...... It seems that he doesn't want to see me. Speaking of this, Qu Xiangtao's eyes were almost red.

She is a beautiful girl who has been soaked in a honey pot since she was a child, and someone has always handed her what she wants, and her smooth sailing life has never suffered any setbacks. Now that I'm being snubbed by the person I liked for the first time, I think the whole world has darkened.

"What are you talking about?" Qu Shi looked at her with a frown.

"Just now I said that I wanted to play chess with my eldest cousin, but my eldest cousin didn't agree......" Qu Xiangtao also knew that it was a little funny to say this, but it was such a thing, and it could be seen that Han Chengji's attitude towards her had changed.

"......" Qu raised his eyebrows speechlessly, and sighed: "It's not a big deal." ”

I only thought that this nephew's girl was simple and easy to handle, but now I find that it seems a little stupid to be too simple......

If you are stupid, you are afraid that you will be stupid and pull your back.

Seeing that Qu didn't pay attention to it, Qu Xiangtao was a little anxious, but he didn't know what to say.

It's a feeling, and she feels it very clearly—her eldest cousin's attitude towards her has really changed too much!

"Auntie, haven't I done enough?" Qu Xiangtao looked down at his clothes, and said a little helplessly: "But I listen to you, every day in front of the boring chessboard, wearing clothes that I don't like all day long, and wearing jewelry as cheesy as a maid......"

"You just have to remember that if you really want to win his favor, you must do what I say." Hearing her say that this pleasant dress is tacky and playing chess is boring, Qu has no desire to talk to her.

No matter how your appearance changes, your nature really can't be changed......

"But that's what my aunt said before......" Qu Xiangtao looked at Qu and said aggrievedly: "But not only can this not please my eldest cousin, but it makes him more and more alienated from me." ”

"It's just a game of chess, so what's estrangement?" Qu Shi looked at Qu Xiangtao with a bitter face, and only felt that he couldn't understand the thoughts of young people now.

"Aunt ......" Facing the Qu family who couldn't communicate, Qu Xiangtao was anxious and helpless, "Do you say that the eldest cousin prefers the real me?" He doesn't like how I dress up—"

Qu looked at Qu Xiangtao, who was suffering from gains and losses, and really wanted to say to her: You are too self-inflicted.

If it weren't for this similar face to Wen Li, you thought that person would look at you more? What else do you talk about like the real you......

However, these words cannot be said to Tao Ming in the same way.

So Qu could only suppress his impatience, and persuaded him with both hard and soft: "Aunt Fang Cai has already told you, this is just a trivial matter. If you mess up because of this, then I can't help you. Then I can only send you back to Yunzhou—"

Qu Xiangtao was frightened by Qu's last sentence.

After seeing the prosperity and stability of Suzhou, she really didn't want to go back to Yunzhou.

Although Yunzhou was not involved in the war, there were wars everywhere, and Yunzhou was full of refugees, and there was no way to compare it with Suzhou.

Moreover, after seeing her eldest cousin, she was completely blind to those sons and buddies in Yunzhou.

asked her to go back to Yunzhou to find a broken scholar to marry, how could she be willing!

His mind was transferred, and for a while, Qu Xiangtao couldn't even care about the slightest alienation from Han Chengji.

"Auntie...... I'll listen to you from now on. The frustrated girl was extremely insecure and grabbed Qu's hand.

Qu nodded with satisfaction.

She believed that as long as Qu Xiang Tao Ken listened to her arrangement, she couldn't go wrong.

But she didn't know that the things she thought she was under control were gradually deviating from the ...... R1152
