24. Fairness
In this world, there are many things that cannot be said in terms of fairness.
Some people are born rich, some are talented, some are talented, and some people can attract everyone's attention as soon as they appear.
As for Xin Yi, there are many excellent girls up and down in the Xin family, but it is she, who is recognized as a laggard, who has fallen into the eyes of the old lady.
If you think about it carefully, who has ever heard the old lady make such a promise to a junior?
The old lady was in the courtyard and Dongyue Temple, Xin Yi stayed in the courtyard, one day, she found that there were a lot of books in the courtyard, and I heard that these were the old lady's dowry.
In addition to sweeping the leaves, meditating, and accompanying the old lady to listen to the scriptures, Xin Yi had one more thing.
That is, soaking in the stacks of books all day, and living a simple and busy life.
This kind of Xinyi is like a gourd bag that absorbs water, constantly absorbing water.
She used to think that she had read a lot of books and knew very well about the things in the world, but after reading the books on the old lady's bookshelf, she realized how shallow she was.
She even had an illusion that coming to the Xin family was not a tribulation that the master had carried out on her.
Xin Yi is immersed in the world of books, tirelessly, forgetting to sleep and eat, and she grows up in a degree that no one else can imagine.
On this day, Xin Yi looked up from the pile of books, the sun was beautiful outside, and she blinked, a little dazzling.
It was quiet outside, she looked at the hourglass, at this time grandmother should be listening to the scriptures in Dongyue, she didn't call Jinchun and the two maids in, but went to the screen by herself to change her clothes, and prepared to go to Dongyue to pick up her grandmother.
"Girl, you are going to Dongyue to pick up the old lady, do you want the slave maid to prepare a soft sedan chair?"
When Jin Chun saw that she had changed her clothes, he knew that Xin Yi was going to Dongyue Temple, so he stepped forward and asked.
Xin Yiman waved his hand indifferently, "No, the sky is so good, let's take a walk, I've been stuffy in the house these days, and I haven't breathed." ”
Jin Chun was a little older, and immediately said, "That slave will go and get you a hat, so that you can cover the sun." ”
Originally, Xin Yi just wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn't expect Jinchun and Jinqiu to make a big fuss, so she had no choice but to wait for Jinchun to take a hat and put it on, and then go to Dongyueguan.
The three of them walked up the stone steps all the way, and when they reached the halfway waist, the two maids of Jinchun and Jinqiu were a little out of breath, and Xin Yi was walking on the ground, very brisk.
Finally arrived at Dongyue Temple, Xin Yi didn't expect to see a person on the fork in the road.
His jet-black hair was a little dark purple in the sun, and his face was lined with a luster like jade, and his steps were obviously not slow, but they made people feel the elegance and nobility of a leisurely stroll.
Even the few black-clad guards behind him were silent.
"Seven girls." Xiao Wulang greeted Xin Yi very skillfully.
"Fifth Son." Xin Yi said with a slight smile.
Xiao Wulang seemed to tilt his head and paused, nodding, obviously he was 'Xiao Wulang's son' last time, but today he has become a decent 'fifth son'. ’
Look at that face again, those clear eyes are still smart.
Xiao Wulang smiled slightly, and said very casually,
"The buds picked by the seven girls last time have become tea, I wonder if the girl will enjoy her face and eat a cup of tea?"
Xin Yi's eyes lit up, but they dimmed in an instant, there is a difference between men and women, they are like this, if they are seen, they will be criticized.
It's just that in the face of Xiao Wulang's smiling face, Xin Yi felt that he couldn't bear it, how could such a beauty be worthy of himself if he didn't drink two cups of tea?
After all, she just drank two cups of tea, so it shouldn't be too much......
Besides, the buds were picked by her hard work, jumping up and down.
Xiao Wulang raised his eyes and saw her moving, his eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and he took the lead in walking towards a small path, signaling Xin Yi to follow.
Seeing that Xin Yi was about to follow, Jinchun immediately took her hand and whispered,
"Girl, although you are still young, you don't need to deliberately avoid anything, but girls have had a marriage contract since they were young, and girls shouldn't get along with foreign men alone......"
Xin Yi pouted, "Where am I going to see a foreign man alone?" Aren't you human? And those big brothers of the guards, are they monkeys on the mountain? ”
"Is this Taoist who comes and goes a shadow?"
"That's not what I said, the girl came to the other courtyard to be punished......"
Xin Yi sneered, what happened to being punished?
She raised her feet to follow, when she heard a rush of footsteps behind her, mixed with a few calls, and got closer and closer, as if calling her.
Xin Yi frowned, waited for someone to approach, and saw that it was the steward in the other courtyard, the steward came forward, and saluted her in a panic, and stumbled before he could slow down,
"Girl, someone from the house came to pick you up, saying that the Leng family came to the door, as if it was about the marriage contract, and asked you to go back to the house immediately."
Xin Yi's jaw dropped, did the Leng family want to get married early? That's a no-no!
Xiao Wulang also stopped in front of him, his eyes were like a deep spring, looking at Xin Yi.
Even the black-clothed guards beside him, the knife in one of his hands almost fell to the ground, Shenma? This seventh girl is married?
