63, Huo Jinyan, don't pass by
Hearing Huo Jinyan say that he was leaving, Mu Yao panicked again, "Don't! Don't leave! While speaking, he took advantage of his unpreparedness to hug Huo Jinyan from behind.
However, Huo Jinyan was a person who practiced martial arts in the end, and his body was slightly deviated and he avoided it, and he regretted it even more in his heart, he knew this Mu Yao's temperament, why did he believe Tang Xi's nonsense, and thought she would really give up?
He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "What else do you have?" ”
Looking at the faint look of disgust in Huo Jinyan's eyes, she only felt a pain in her heart, and just happened to see Cuiying coming back with tea, her heart suddenly jumped, and then she lowered her eyes to hide the gloomy color in her eyes, and said pitifully, "...... Brother, I will be nineteen years old today, and my father will no longer let me be willful...... So this farewell, Mu Yao will never pester you again in the future. ”
"Over the years, my brother has never said anything to me calmly, and today...... If you have fulfilled my last wish, would you like to say a few more words to me? ”
Huo Jinyan's eyes sank, and he nodded for a while, "The last time." ”
Mu Yao immediately burst into tears when she heard this, and nodded violently, "One last time!" ”
After speaking, she took the hot tea in Cuiying's hand and handed it to Huo Jinyan, "The weather is cold today, so I would like to say that my brother should drink a cup of hot tea to warm up his body." ”
Huo Jinyan bowed slightly, took the cup of tea, he was a little careless and flicked the tea leaves in the cup with his hand, and suddenly a woman's voice sounded behind him.
"Don't drink!"
Huo Jinyan was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw Tang Xi walking towards this side violently.
It's still the same person, but somehow, Huo Jinyan just felt that the momentum was a little different, and he could faintly see a little bit of Fengxi's shadow.
In the past, Tang Xi had a casual temperament, always looked leisurely and comfortable, and rarely saw her angry, but today...... Don't be angry and mighty, that's probably what it looks like.
She was dressed in plain clothes, but she looked more majestic than Mu Yao in a gorgeous costume, her steps were steady but with a different momentum, and she walked towards the pavilion step by step, and Mu Yao was stunned for a long time.
When he reacted, Tang Xi had already walked in front of him, looking at Tang Xi's eyes, Mu Yao unconsciously panicked, and forced out a smile, "Jin...... Sister Jinshi, why are you here? ”
Tang Xi squinted his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a cold smile, and then reached out and directly snatched the teacup in Huo Jinyan's hand and sent it to Mu Yao, "Miss Mu Yao, why don't you drink this cup of tea and talk to me again?" ”
Mu Yao's face turned pale, and Ai Ai said, "What does Sister Jinshi mean by this...... Why can't I understand? As he spoke, he avoided Tang Xi's gaze with a dodgy look, and turned to Huo Jinyan and said calmly, "Brother Jinyan, you Huo Mansion ...... Is this the kind of tutoring? ”
The corners of Huo Jinyan's lips were slightly raised, as if he was in a good mood, "Tutor? Scold...... Why don't you drink this cup of tea and talk to me about tutoring? ”
Mu Yao's eyes immediately widened when she heard this, and she retreated in surprise, "You...... You ......"
Tang Xi looked at her coldly, "Mu Yao, dare to use me like this, how do you want to die?" ”
Mu Yao's legs were so frightened by the anger in Tang Xi's eyes that she fell to the ground, her face full of horror, "I...... Sister Jinshi! I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I'm just lost in my mind for a while, please forgive me......"
In the past, Tang Xi was approachable, but often such people are even more scary when they are really angry, Mu Yao is the first time to do such a thing, but now she has been exposed in person, and she was frightened by Tang Xi again, and she suddenly collapsed, crying and kneeling in front of them, "Brother Yan...... Please forgive me......"
Tang Xi narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Forgive you? If I hadn't come, how would you treat my brother with this filthy medicine? As long as she thought that a person as cold as Huo Jinyan was going to be treated like that, she was almost angry!
But Mu Yao was stunned when she heard her words, and then shook her head violently, "I...... You misunderstood, this medicine is not what you think, it's just ...... Just fascinated. It's just medicine, I just thought about it, and carried Brother Jinyan to my room in a daze...... When the time comes, let my father bump into me, and I would like to say that if such a good person as my brother ruins my reputation, he will definitely not ignore me, I ...... I'm sorry Brother Jinyan! It was me who was wrong! ”
Tang Xi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his tone was still not good, "Why should I believe you?" ”
Mu Yao looked at Tang Xi, who had a cold face, and Huo Jinyan, who had been silent, with teary eyes, and finally gritted her teeth, "If you don't believe it...... I'll show you a drink! After speaking, she snatched the teacup in Tang Xi's hand and drank it all!
Tang Xi watched Mu Yao drink the cup of tea without saying a word, and couldn't help but be stunned, the anger in her heart suddenly dispersed, and before she could say anything, Mu Yao fell down, her maid Cuiying hurriedly stepped forward to catch her own miss, anxious tears swirled in her eyes, "Two, please let my young lady go!" ”
Tang Xi pursed his lips, "Okay, okay, take her back, people will think that we have bullied you when they see it!" ”
Cuiying immediately thanked her after hearing this, helped Mu Yao and left.
When everyone was gone, Tang Xi realized that she was embarrassed, she coughed lightly and turned her head, "That...... Are you alright, my lord? ”
Huo Jinyan didn't speak since just now, watching her perform the whole time, at this moment she turned to face herself, compared to just now, but she completely changed her attitude, if she was as strong as a majestic lion just now, then at this moment she is probably as gentle as a little sheep.
He withdrew the gaze that had been placed on her before, and his voice could be much colder, "It's okay." After a pause, he couldn't help but say more, "Let's see if you dare to trust others so easily next time." ”
Tang Xi shrunk her neck and didn't dare to speak, in fact, she didn't trust others easily, she just ...... Take someone else's hand is short, and take someone else's blood hosta worth 100,000 taels, if you don't do anything, you can't say it, right? What's more, this Mu Yao is not a gloomy person, but she just made a mistake for a while, so she was not deceived by Mu Yao's acting skills, but just underestimated Huo Jinyan's charm, and said that love makes people crazy, and now it looks like this.
"But...... Isn't it the same for adults? Tang Xi couldn't help muttering.
Huo Jinyan pursed his lips, and took the lead in turning around and walking out of the pavilion, "Even if you didn't come, I wouldn't have drunk that cup of tea, not to mention that Ying Yi was still staring in the dark, it was impossible for me to have an accident." ”
Tang Xi froze when he heard this, isn't it! How did she forget that there was a shadow in the shadows? Wouldn't it be too much for me to rush over so angrily?
Her face turned red, and she defended herself without three hundred taels of silver, "I was just angry that I was deceived, so I hurriedly came to confront her!" ”
Huo Jinyan, who was walking in front, smiled slightly, "Well, I know." ”
"......" Tang Xi felt that he seemed to be ridiculed? That kind of lie that he doesn't believe, will he really believe it? After all...... He had already sensed what he was thinking about him!
The two returned to the banquet one after the other, but they didn't attract too much attention.
It's just that a little guy whispered a few words in the ear of the university scholar Mu Yun halfway, he left the table in a hurry with a change in his face, and glanced at himself before leaving, Tang Xi suddenly squinted his eyes, it seems that this Mu Yun is not completely ignorant of what Mu Yao did, probably also wants to climb up to Huo Jinyan with one eye closed, she pouted, she used to think that Mu Yun was an old fox, but now it seems that it is true!
At this time, I don't blame my daughter for being too stubborn, but I want to blame myself for ruining their good deeds, it's really unreasonable!
After that, Huo Jinyan and Tang Xi didn't stay long before leaving the university scholar's mansion, and they didn't continue to pay attention to the follow-up, both of them knew that after today, Mu Yao would not come to pester Huo Jinyan anymore, and for Mu Yao's behavior today, both of them also tacitly chose to expose, Mu Yao is not a person with too bad eyes, and they will not worry about a stubborn little girl.
At night, Huo Jinyan couldn't sleep a little, the day's events flashed in front of his eyes, Tang Xi's every demeanor and expression was constantly replayed in front of his eyes, and finally he repeated Mu Yao's words over and over again in his mind, who is the person you like?
In fact, he also wanted to know...... Who does he like?
He closed his eyes a little tiredly, no matter how much he denied it, he had to admit that he had already noticed it, and he was ...... to Tang Xi It's really a little unusual, but this bit of special makes him very confused, because Tang Xi is too much like Feng Xi, and even has an inextricable relationship with Feng Xi, he doesn't know if he regards Tang Xi as Feng Xi's stand-in or really has a good impression of her?
For this kind of indescribable feelings, Huo Jinyan subconsciously chose to escape, he didn't want to face it.
What's more, he can like someone else, but it shouldn't be Feng Xi's sister, and he also doesn't want to like someone again, but he just treats that person as Feng Xi's stand-in, which is unfair to both of them.
So since he couldn't say it clearly, he subconsciously chose to let go, because he didn't want to gamble on an uncertaintie, and if he lost the bet, it would only hurt each other.
Whether it is for Feng Xi or for his little good impression of Tang Xi, Huo Jinyan hopes that Tang Xi can be happy and carefree for the rest of his life.
Tang Xi will marry Lu Zheng in another twenty days, Lu Zheng is a trustworthy person, he will be good to Tang Xi, so ...... He really shouldn't have thought about it anymore.
In the following days, Tang Xi sat at home and counted the days with his hands, and when he was fine, he would cooperate with the selection of some things needed to get married, speaking of which, Huo Jinyan was really good to her, the dowry was so rich that it was not good, Tang Xi even suspected that Huo Jinyan had taken out more than half of his net worth, plus the dowry sent by the Hou family of An Yuan, and carrying it out would definitely make people in the whole capital envious.
Tang Xi couldn't help but recall that when he "married" Feng Jun, Feng Jun's "dowry" was not so much, in such a comparison, Huo Jinyan was really generous, but it was a pity that ...... She was blessed.
Thinking of Feng Jun, Tang Xi's eyes darkened, his Feng Jun was married back to the palace when she was fifteen years old, that person's name was Pei Ziqing, and he was born with a good appearance, which was different from Cheng Nankong's deceptive appearance, he was a really gentle man inside and out.
It's a pity that this person is the maiden family of Prince Fengyu's wife, and it was used by that Fengyu to win over and control her, and she is destined to be not the same person.
Although she was reluctant at first, in order to paralyze Feng Yu, she really wanted to dedicate herself to this Feng Jun, but Pei Ziqing refused, and took the initiative to cooperate with her to play a loving drama, and later she heard that Pei Ziqing had a childhood sweetheart, but in the end, in order to "charm" her, she was sent to the palace by Feng Yu alive.
In this way, in fact, Pei Ziqing and her are not completely opposed, and sometimes he even acts as a double agent and reveals some news about Feng Yu for her, which can be regarded as an existence that is both friend and foe.
After Prince He died, she didn't want to trouble so she didn't abolish him, and the two lived a life of non-interference in the palace, but after she died, she didn't know what happened to Pei Ziqing, thinking about it now, she hadn't heard anything from him during this time, and this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, but thinking about the person's intelligence, he shouldn't die quietly.
Just thinking about the past, Lu Zheng came.
Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Have you thought of your wish?" ”
When Lu Zheng heard this, he suddenly said with a bitter face, "You said that in my life, what do you want, I really can't think of this wish for a while, or forget it?" ”
Tang Xi suddenly became anxious when he heard this, "No! Just think about it, how can you not have any desire at all? ”
Lu Zheng said entangledly, "The key ...... If this wish is big, you can't realize it, it's small...... I can do it myself when I'm small. ”
"......" Tang Xi twitched the corners of his mouth and asked reluctantly, "Then what do you say I can't achieve?" ”
"Hmm...... For example, martial arts are better than the third brother? Another example is more knowledgeable than the third brother? ”
"......" Tang Xi glanced at him, and said seriously, "You don't call this a wish, you call it a dream!" ”
“……”
Tang Xi sighed, and then said, "That's ...... Just say whatever you want, and give me a chance to do something for you. ”
"Or ...... Can I watch a fireworks? Lu Zheng struggled for a long time, and finally said such a wish that was a bit "girly".
Tang Xi thought for a while, and finally slapped the table, "That's it!" Just wait and see! ”
That being said, Tang Xi didn't move in the next few days, and Lu Zheng became more and more busy with the arrival of the wedding date, and left the matter behind him in a few days.
Tang Xi's long-awaited wedding date has finally arrived.
Early in the morning, Tang Xi was pulled up and began to dress up, and it took an hour to finally dress up, looking at the woman with bright eyes and bright teeth in the mirror, Tang Xi felt a little amazing, she didn't expect that she would have such a beautiful day.
She looked in the mirror beautifully, with a faint regret in her heart, but unfortunately Huo Jinyan couldn't see this look.
After thinking about it, she touched her wrist, and her face suddenly changed, "Ah! My bracelet is gone! ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, "What bracelet?" ”
Tang Xi looked anxious, "That's the jade bracelet left to me by my mother, it's very important!" Help me find it! ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became anxious, and the one left by her mother was naturally very important to her, so they all began to help find it around.
Tang Xi pretended to look in the room for a while, and then suddenly patted his head, "Oops! I wandered around the house for a long time yesterday, so don't you fall somewhere else, right? Hurry up, I'm about to get on the sedan chair, go to other yards to help me find it! ”
"What are you going to do, Miss?"
"I'll look for it too! Don't worry, there are so many of us, we can't delay the hour, I'll go to the yard where I lived before to find it, you go elsewhere to see, don't rub it off! ”
Seeing that Tang Xi was in such a hurry, everyone didn't say anything more, and hurriedly scattered around to help find things.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Tang Xi lifted her skirt and went all the way to the yard of the maid where she once lived, and they agreed that day to let Shangguan Yu wait for her here.
There was no one living here since she moved out, and there were courtyards around her, so she was busy working at this time, so she entered the courtyard and closed the gate and called in a low voice, "Shangguan Yu?" Are you here? ”
"I've been here for a long time, I've been waiting for you for a while." Shangguan Yu also jumped out of nowhere and stood in front of Tang Xi.
Tang Xi was immediately relieved when he saw her, "Didn't you find out?" ”
"If I were discovered, would I still be standing here?" Shangguan Yu rolled his eyes, "Don't rub it off, hurry up." ”
Tang Xi nodded, and then the two entered the house, Tang Xi glanced at the corpse on the ground, it was a girl who had just died, she couldn't help but say, "Where did you get it?" ”
"Don't worry, what I stole from Yizhuang is just an unclaimed corpse, and it won't attract much attention if I lose it."
Tang Xi nodded, and then quickly took off the wedding dress on his body and put it on the corpse indiscriminately, and there were words in his mouth, "Offended, I really have to do it today, and I will definitely burn more paper money for you later!" ”
After dressing the corpse, she put on the men's clothes brought by Shangguan Yu again, washed the makeup off her face, and then nodded to Shangguan Yu, "It's okay." ”
Shangguan Yu immediately took out a bottle of lamp oil and poured it on the curtain at the head of the bed, and then threw the fire fold, and it immediately caught fire, but she was worried that she would be found in time to save the fire, so she also lit the fire in several other places, and watched the fire gradually get bigger before pulling Tang Xi's arm, "Hurry up!" ”
Shangguan Yu took Tang Xi all the way to avoid the patrolling guards with light skills, and then turned over the wall and saw Cheng Nan waiting in a carriage not far away, Cheng Nan immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them come out, "Get in the car!" ”
Tang Xi couldn't help but glance back at this place where she had lived for more than ten months, and there was no return date after leaving.
The house was probably found to be on fire, and there was a faint commotion inside, she pursed her lips, and finally resolutely turned on the carriage.
Huo Jinyan said, the mountains are high and the waters are long, let's say goodbye.
"My lord, it's not good! The backyard is on fire! ”
At that time, Huo Jinyan was entertaining visitors in the front hall, and when he heard Yan Qing's report, his brain was stunned, and then he frowned slightly, and immediately walked to the backyard, asking as he walked, "Where is the fire?" The tone wasn't too anxious.
Yan Qing frowned and said, "It's not a big place, it's the courtyard where Miss lived before." ”
Huo Jinyan's face sank suddenly, "What did you say?" ”
Yan Qing was stunned, "Yes...... It's the yard where the young lady used to live, don't worry, the young lady should be in the room at this time, and the other side has not let others live in, so there should be no casualties. ”
Having said that, Huo Jinyan's brows jumped, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and suddenly anxiously accelerated his pace.
"Your Excellency!"
"Miaoxiang?" Huo Jinyan's brows furrowed fiercely, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, he stepped forward and grabbed Miaoxiang's arm fiercely, "Why are you here?" What about Tang Xi? ”
Miaoxiang's face turned pale, her eyes were full of panic, and she faintly cried, "My lord...... Miss said in the morning that the bracelet was lost, and asked us to help find it, and then Miss ...... The young lady herself went to the courtyard where she used to live! ”
Rumble!
Huo Jinyan only felt that the last string in his head was broken, his eyes were red, he shook off the wonderful fragrance, and rushed towards it.
How so? Tang Xi, you can't be fine! Definitely not!
When Huo Jinyan arrived, the courtyard was already on fire, and the water carried by the subordinates was just a drop in the bucket, and it didn't play any role at all.
"Tang Xi!" He pulled one person at a time, and his eyes, which had always been calm, were now full of hideousness, "What about her!" ”
The man was almost stupid, and trembled, "Big ...... My lord, I don't know, I don't know......"
Huo Jinyan threw the person away, and hurriedly walked around the crowd, but still didn't find anyone.
With such a big fire, it is impossible not to alarm Tang Xi, and now that I haven't seen anyone, there is only one possibility......
He looked at the raging fire, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and before everyone could react, he rushed towards the fire!
"Your Excellency!" Everyone exclaimed in unison, and some even closed their eyes in fright.
However, Huo Jinyan was still stopped in the end, and was stunned by the shadow one by one when he was about to rush into the sea of fire.
Ying Yi caught Huo Jinyan's fallen body, his face was full of anger, and he roared at the people who were still in a daze, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Don't put out the fire for me yet! ”
Huo Jinyan didn't faint for too long, and it was only two hours after the full fight.
"Tang Xi!" When he woke up, he still shouted the same name.
"Master! Don't get excited, master! Ying Yi hurriedly grabbed Huo Jinyan's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Master, the fire has been extinguished, don't worry!" ”
Huo Jinyan grabbed his arm tightly with one hand, his eyes stared at him tightly, and his gaze carried all the hope, "What about Tang Xi?" How is she? ”
Ying lowered his eyes, even if he couldn't bear it, he didn't dare to deceive Huo Jinyan, "...... The fire was extinguished, and a charred corpse was found inside...... There was no trace of Miss in the whole house......"
Hearing this, his hand fell......
