The sky is clear, the sun is blazing, the weather is getting hotter, and the hot breath of summer is coming. There was not even a hint of wind, and the earth was like a steamer, so hot that it was breathless. The little birds did not know where to hide, and the grass and trees stood there listlessly and lazily, and only that knew that they kept breaking and screaming in the branches, adding to the irritability of the sultry weather.

Lan Xiao'er looked at the mirror-like water surface on the wooden bridge, reflecting the silver light, and was fascinated.

Half a month has passed since the last time I came back from the palace. During this time, Lan Xiao'er has been frightened, for fear that the young man in red will come to trouble her, and obediently like an ancient girl, "The door does not go out, and the second door does not step." "Stay in the house and be everyone's lady.

With the passage of time, the house has been very calm, and Lan Xiao'er thought about the young man in red and didn't know who he was, so she slowly put her mind at ease. When I think of the young man in purple, I always feel a little familiar, déjà vu, as if I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it, where have I seen it?

Xiao Cui behind him held a few pieces of rice paper in his hand and said, "Third Miss, do you still want these paintings?" ”

Lan Xiao'er turned around and stretched out her hand to take it, flipped through it and checked, only to see that there were some flowers and plants drawn, so she said, "It's useless." ”

Xiaocui said: "Then I'll go and throw it away." ”

Lan Xiao'er nodded, and glanced at the rice paper in her hand again.

I suddenly remembered that the portrait of the beautiful boy I saw when I went to Lan Rou'er's boudoir was the purple-clothed young man I saw in the palace. No wonder I feel familiar, why does Lan Rouer have his portrait? Who is he?

Go ask Lan Rou'er? But she didn't want to let herself see the plot of that day.

After thinking about it, it suddenly occurred to me that it wouldn't be the third prince, right?! If so, who is the young man in red? Who is the little boy?

Lan Xiao'er subconsciously grabbed Xiao Cui's hand, and couldn't help but be trembled by her own thoughts. Silently recited in my heart: God, don't be the third prince, in this country where men are inferior to women, he is the son of the master, and he can't afford to provoke him!

Seeing this, Xiaocui asked, "Third Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lan Xiao'er turned her mind from her contemplation, pretending to be calm and said, "Suddenly I remembered that it was better to keep it." And let go of Xiao Cui's hand.

Xiao Cui said, "Then I'll go and put these away."

Lan Xiao'er said, "Go ahead." ”

Turning to look at the lotus flowers in the lake, he remembered that day in a trance as if he saw the figure of the night, and he couldn't help but want to look for him again.

……

Xiaocui said: "Third Miss, there will be a distinguished guest in the house today." ”

Lan Xiao'er asked curiously, "Distinguished guest?" Who? ”

Fluttershy nodded and whispered, "I heard it's the Third Prince." ”

Lan Xiao'er thought to herself, the third prince? I didn't want to see the third prince, first, because of Lan Rou'er; Second, I don't know if the purple-clothed young man I saw in the palace on the day of the emperor's big hand was the third prince; Third, I didn't look for it a few days ago, and I want to look for it again today.

Lan Xiao'er said: "Since the master is busy entertaining guests, I don't want to see the third prince, let's go out of the house to play." ”

Fluttershy says, "But since I came back too late last time, the eldest young master won't let Miss Three go out again." ”

Lan Xiao'er whispers to Cui and Fluttershy, "Let's sneak out, I found out last night that the back door was unguarded during lunch break." ”

Fluttershy says, "Miss Three, is it really okay for us to sneak out of the house like this?" ”

Xiao Cui said: "If the old man finds out, he should be angry." ”

Lan Xiao'er said: "Don't worry, you don't know that my father loves me the most." ”

Xiao Cui said worriedly: "If the master punishes us......"

Lan Xiao'er said, "Don't worry, I won't let my father punish you." ”

Then he pulls Fluttershy and Cui, disguised as a man, and sneaks out of the house.

……

"Miss, which shop should we go to first?" Xiaocui asked happily.

Of course, she went to 'Yihong Courtyard', but she couldn't answer Xiaocui directly, so Lan Xiao'er said, "Is there anything else fun and delicious in the East Market?" ”

Fluttershy replies, "There's a jewelry shop in front of you, the first one in Beijing." ”

Lan Xiao'er said, "Okay, let's go there and have a look." ”

The three of them walked into the jewelry workshop.

"Young master, this jewelry hairpin ring is so beautiful!" Xiao Cui praised.

Lan Xiao'er also praised: "It's really exquisite." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This young master is a person with vision at first glance. It just so happens that we just got a few good treasures here, young master, let's see what you like? ”

I saw that the shopkeeper took out three exquisite jewelry, namely the oil clear bead bracelet, the red agate jade bracelet, and the natural pink crystal Ruyi buckle.

The shopkeeper said: "This oil-clear bead bracelet is a bead from the quiet valley, which is big and full, and the color is verdant, and it takes advantage of the young master's complexion." ”

Lan Xiao'er looked at the jade bracelet on her hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "Well, it really looks good on your hand." ”

The shopkeeper squinted, pointed to the second one, and then said: "This red agate jade bracelet is a product of Yangguo, the color is bright red, full of dripping, it is the best to give it to your sweetheart." ”

Lan Xiao'er couldn't help but have a red thread on her face, and said angrily: "What do you say? I...... There is no sweetheart. ”

Fluttershy says, "Shopkeeper, don't talk nonsense." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, yes." "This young master looks at a talent, does he have a habit of breaking sleeves, and he is embarrassed to show it.

Lan Xiao'er looked at the shopkeeper and looked at her carefully, thinking that she wouldn't recognize me as a woman dressed as a man, so she pointed to the third one and asked, "What about this?" ”

The shopkeeper squinted and smiled: "Young master has a good eye, this wishful buckle is also called a marriage buckle." ”

"Marriage buckle?" Lan Xiao'er asked.

The shopkeeper said: "If there is a fate for each person, the two will have a lifelong marriage." It is a very allegorical buckle.

A lifelong marriage? Lan Xiao'er thought inwardly.

Fluttershy praises, "Master, this wishful button is really clear and translucent!" ”

Xiaocui echoed and said, "Yes, young master, and I don't know if I will meet a good marriage in the future?" ”

Lan Xiao'er said thoughtfully: "Shopkeeper, I want this." ”

After coming out of the jewelry shop, the three of them walked in the direction of 'Yihong Courtyard'. About an hour, I came to the shore of Jasper Lake, and there was a pleasant singing voice not far away, Lan Xiao'er stopped to listen, this voice was somewhat familiar, a bit like Du Yan'er's singing voice that day.

Xiao Cui said: "Young master, this singing is so good!" ”

Lan Xiao'er said faintly: "Yes, it's really a heart-warming singing." Then he turned to them behind him and said, "Let's go, let's look for the singing." ”

They walked slowly along Biyue Lake.

After a while, the three of them stood at the entrance of Yihong Courtyard, and Lan Xiao'er looked at Cui and Fluttershy who didn't want to go in and wanted to stop herself.

Xiao Cui said, "Young Master, do you really want to buy wine here?" ”

Fluttershy said, "The eldest young master said that drinking hurts his body, and the third young master is not fully healthy. ”

Lan Xiao'er said, "Don't worry, I'll only drink a little bit." ”

Fluttershy then says, "Miss, let's go somewhere else. ”

Xiao Cui said, "That's right. ”

The two girls were really verbose, Lan Xiao'er ignored them anymore, and walked in.

The old bustard came up, looked at Lan Xiao'er dressed as if she was a dignitary, and flatteringly pinched her throat and shouted: "Yo~ This guest officer, it's the first time to come to our Yihong Courtyard, is there a girl in the picture?" If not, let my mother recommend a few good girls to you? ”

Lan Xiao'er said a word to Fluttershy behind her, and Fluttershy stepped forward and put the three gold ingots into the bustard's hand and said, "Mother Wang, our Lan Gongzi wants to meet Miss Du Yan'er." ”

The old bustard looked at the three yellow gold ingots in his hand, his eyes instantly narrowed into a straight line, and he said flatteringly and flatteringly: "I all know that Miss Du Yan'er is not a guest." ”

Lan Xiao'er waved her hand behind her, and Fluttershy stepped forward and took out two gold ingots and put them in the bustard's hand and said, "Please ask Mother Wang to ask Miss Du Yan'er, and say that Lan Xiao'er asks to see her, and I hope that Miss Du Yan'er will see her, if it still doesn't work, these ingots will be given to you for pocket money." ”

The old bustard's eyes lit up and stared at the five yellow gold ingots, casually put the gold ingots into his clothes, and said flatteringly: "Okay, Lan Gongzi wait a minute." ”

The old bustard walked up to the second floor quickly, walked downstairs after half a ring, and said, "Young Master Lan, please." ”

The old bustard greeted Lan Xiao'er and walked up to the private room on the second floor, walked through the corridor, and walked down the steps, surrounded by ancient trees, green trees, and a forest greeted him. Passing through the woods, a very secret courtyard appeared, only to see a black golden silk nanmu plaque hanging on the top of the red vermilion lacquer door, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with three big characters 'Yanyan Pavilion'.

Slowly went upstairs, came to the second floor, stopped in the innermost room, and the old bustard said, "Miss Du Yan'er, Lan Gongzi brings it." ”

A woman in the room said softly: "Mother Wang, lead Lan Gongzi in." ”

The old bustard pushed the door when he heard the sound, only to see Du Yan'er get up to greet Lan Xiao'er.

Lan Xiao'er smiled and sat down at the table with Du Yan'er, Fluttershy and Cui standing behind Lan Xiao'er, and the old bustard smiled as they closed the door and walked out.

I saw that the cloud top sandalwood in the house was the beam, the crystal jade was the lamp, the pearl was the curtain, and the fan gold was the pillar base. Agarwood wide bed side hanging shark silk treasure Luo tent, the tent is embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers, the wind is moving, such as falling clouds and mountains and the sea in general. The couch is set up with a green jade incense pillow, covered with soft silkworm ice sticks, and stacked with jade belts. On the top of the bed curtain hung a huge moon pearl, shining like a bright moon.

Looking at such a luxurious decoration, I couldn't help but wonder who Du Yan'er was?!

Lan Xiao'er looked at her charming face, and couldn't help but praise: "Yanran smiled at the flowers, and smiled at Yanran drunk." Xiaoxiang smoke and rain are constantly sheared, and the sinking fish and geese are loved. ”

Du Yan'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Lan Gongzi is in love, please taste this wine." He raised the glass on the table and looked at me with a smile.

Lan Xiao'er raised the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and after being silent for a long time, said, "Good wine." ”

Du Yan'er replied with a smile: "Young Master Lan, this is a peach blossom wine brewed by yourself." ”

Lan Xiao'er read without smiling when she heard the voice: "Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. ”

Du Yan'er said softly and pityingly: "Good poem, I don't know who Lan Gongzi misses?" ”
