Since seeing something he shouldn't have seen that night, Xu Anping hasn't seen Deng Xiaoke for several days. Because he was in a hurry to go to the capital, he and Deng Xiaoke kept everything simple, exchanged marriage letters and agreed to get married in two years, and then they were ready to leave.

In the morning of the tenth day of the sixth month, the weather was already very hot, there was not a trace of wind in the air, and the weeping willows on the side of the road were wilting. Xu Anping was dressed in a green cloth short, acting as a coachman and driving a mule cart out of the south gate of Qingping County, coming down from time to time to look back. Because he still didn't see Deng Xiaoke until he went out, he felt a little uncomfortable, so his face looked depressed.

Yi Lian'er sat in the car, her face was also full of worry, and she opened the curtain and asked, "Brother Anping, are you thinking about Sister Ke'er?" She may be delayed because of something, so don't worry. ”

Xu Anping had been sweating on his forehead from the hot sun, turned his head and said with a smile: "Lian'er, don't worry, I'm thinking about how to go to the capital more conveniently." How about we take the Grand Canal and take a boat to the capital? ”

Yi Lian'er usually doesn't go out of the door, that is, she heard the elders in the village talk about taking a boat, and now she thinks that she is about to take a boat, and she is still looking forward to it. "Yes, yes! Lian'er hasn't been on a boat yet. Brother Anping, Lian'er is afraid of water, what if she falls into the water at that time? ”

"It's okay, I'll be water. If Lian'er falls into the water, I will rescue you and take you to swim in the water. ”

"Don't. Brother Anping, you almost drowned in the Taiping River last time, and Lian'er was scared to death. Thinking of what happened last time, Yi Lian'er was not happy but worried.

Xu Anping looked at Yi Lian'er's pretty face full of worry and felt very interesting, the depression just now also dissipated a lot, and said with a smile: "Lian'er really feels distressed, and she really deserves to be my little daughter-in-law." ”

Listening to Xu Anping's teasing, Yi Lian'er's pretty face turned red again. Even after listening to it several times, she couldn't help but feel shy. "Brother Anping, if you are necrotic, you know how to bully others. I'll ignore you. As he spoke, he retracted his little poked head back into the carriage, covering his face and not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Anping smiled more and more happily, jumped into the car and whipped the mule hard, speeding up the drive. Half an hour later, he drove the mule cart to the Shili Pavilion, and saw a carriage parked on the side of the official road, but he did not see the horseman. However, because there were pedestrians, carts and horses passing by from time to time, he did not care, and continued to drive the mule cart forward. As the mule cart was about to pass by, suddenly there was a coquettish cry from the carriage.

"Deng Jiu, you stop!"

When Xu Anping heard this familiar title, he was overjoyed and hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw Huan'er waving his face through the carriage window and waving to him. So, he smiled and said, "Huan'er, but the eldest lady is reluctant to be here, what do you have to say?" ”

Huan'er heard Xu Anping's ridicule, and her small body stretched out of the window with her teeth and claws, as if she wanted to bite someone. "Deng Jiu, you... What nonsense are you talking about? It is not allowed to insult the reputation of my eldest lady. ”

Xu Anping smiled and learned her words and said, "You... You what? Nothing big or small. Don't forget that you're a maid, how can you talk to me? Be careful I don't buy you snacks in the future! ”

Huan'er pursed her mouth when she heard this, as if she was about to cry. At this time, a pretty and heroic voice came from inside the carriage: "Deng Jiu, usually you bully Huan'er like this?" I think you're really hard to change. ”

Xu Anping's face was full of joy when he heard Deng Xiaoke's voice, and he was about to come over and lift the curtain to see the pretty face that was longing and smiling.

Deng Xiaoke opened the curtain and saw Xu Anping's raised arm, and his face suddenly flushed, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry. "You disciple, how can you lift someone else's curtain without saying a word? I see that you were clearly ...... that night" Speaking of the back, it was really a little uninteresting, and I couldn't open my mouth.

"I just wanted to see you. Ke'er, why did you come out, does the old man know? ”

Deng Xiaoke jumped directly from the carriage, and when he heard this, his body shook and almost stumbled, and he said in shame: "What are you shouting nonsense!" Who is your father-in-law? Wait two years before shouting. ”

Xu Anping helped Deng Xiaoke and said with a smile: "It's the same for shouting early and shouting late, I respect his old man." ”

Deng Xiaoke found out more and more that Xu Anping was a piece of hob meat, and he thought he had the temperament of a scholar before. She didn't bother to entangle, and after rolling her eyes, she pushed him away and turned her face to the car and said, "Daddy is not old at all." Huan'er, take everything down. ”

So, Xu Anping saw Huan'er drag four or five large packages and lift the curtain, and said breathlessly: "Deng Jiu, help me get it, it's so heavy!" Miss, the slave thinks that porcelain pillow, teacup or something, don't bring it, right? ”

Deng Xiaoke was embarrassed for a moment and then said: "You talk a lot, I know how to complain if I don't see you delicious." I sleep with a pillow, you don't know! I'll sell you halfway back. ”

Xu Anping took the package and looked at Deng Xiaoke a little stunned, as if things were a little different from what he thought. At this time, Yi Lian'er, who was waiting in the car, also came down when she heard the movement, and her face was also full of doubts.

Deng Xiaoke blushed and pretended to be calm: "Deng Jiu, what are you doing stupidly?" If you don't get your stuff to your car soon, it's going to get dark. ”

"Ke'er, are you going to elope with me?" Xu Anping felt that his heartbeat was much faster, and he swallowed and asked with some difficulty.

Deng Xiaoke was about to pinch Xu Anping immediately when he heard this, and said angrily: "Deng Jiu, if you talk nonsense again, Miss Ben will cut off your tongue and won't give you food." Whoever wants to elope with you, I am going to the capital to visit my uncle, and I happen to have a good relationship with you all the way. ”

Xu Anping nodded again and again, he wouldn't deliberately get along with Deng Xiaoke, this was completely looking for guilt. "Oh, yes, yes, yes, it's to visit my uncle. Does the future father-in-law know? ”

"Well, of course Daddy knows, so I won't let him and Auntie worry." But she also added in her heart, at least she should know now. Looking at Xu Anping's wandering eyes, she was a little depressed.

Yi Lian'er came over and listened to it, and took the initiative to greet in a soft voice: "You are Sister Ke'er, right?" My name is Lian'er. Brother Anping often talks about you in me. ”

Deng Xiaoke saw Yi Lian'er, who looked a little thin hiding behind Xu Anping, with big eyes and narrow shoulders, fair skin, and a very moving look, which made people can't help but feel pity. When she saw that Yi Lian'er had a strange sense of familiarity and closeness, she really couldn't get angry. She glanced at Xu Anping with her eyes, and held Yi Lian'er's hand with a smile on her face: "Sister Lian'er, Deng Jiu often talks about you." I'll go all the way to the capital with you, and I'm good to have a companion. Huan'er, who was left behind, was puffed up, as if she was holding grievances for her own young lady.

"Yes, yes! Lian'er also wants to be with her sister, just so that she can talk to relieve her boredom. ”

Xu Anping, who followed behind with a few packages, lowered his head and did not speak, he went to the capital to get rid of the helm of the Blood Hand Alliance and then see if he could find a future, no matter how he looked at it now, it looked like he was going on a honeymoon. "Alas, what a premature life!"
