Lan Xinhui lives in the side courtyard, and Wang Yuan's residence is only separated by a wall, since this mansion, Lan Xinhui is busy working like a man during the day, and at night she hides in this courtyard to play with the strings and practice writing poetry. The lights in this courtyard are always on until late, very late.

For Wang Yuan, she existed like a shadow by her side, but Wang Yuan had never spoken to her face-to-face. Although Wang Yuan also grabbed Lan Xinhui a few times and told her that she didn't need to do these menial jobs, Lan Xinhui agreed in a low voice every time, but then she still went her own way for some reason.

Wang Yuan has analyzed, maybe because of the strangeness, or maybe because she has some inferiority, after all, in this house, even Huang Ying and Huang Xing's two poor daughters' life experience is more innocent than her. In short, for Wang Yuan, Lan Xinhui is like a frightened rabbit, always dodging around her. I can see her figure and feel her gaze, but my impression of her is getting weaker day by day.

If it weren't for the words he heard Gongsun Lan said during the day today, if it weren't for the faint sound of the piano just now, Wang Yuan would have almost ignored this person again.

Standing at the door of the room, the sound of the piano became clearer, intermittently, sometimes stopped, and sometimes suddenly sounded. In between, there was the soft sigh of the people in the room.

When Wang Yuan heard the sound of the piano repeatedly moving forward on a few beats, and he was actually anxious, he finally couldn't help coughing lightly. The sound of the piano in the house stopped instantly, there was silence inside and outside the house, and the chirping of spring insects that had woken up early could be heard in the night wind.

"Who's that?" Lan Xinhui asked in a low voice.

"Miss Lan, it's me. Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan replied in a low voice.

There was a chaotic sound in the room, and the slender figure of Lan Xinhui on the window edge was in a panic arranging her clothes and hair. Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Can I go in?" ”

"Well, it's too late, is there anything important about Childe? Don't you want to talk about it at an unknown date? ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's nothing important, I just want to come and talk to you, talk casually, if Miss Lan is inconvenient, I'll leave." ”

There was no sound in the room, and the figure on the window stood still, like a statue.

Wang Yuan had to turn around and leave, and after walking a few steps, there was a creaking sound of opening the door behind him, Wang Yuan turned around and looked, Lan Xinhui was standing at the door with a candlestick, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Son, please come in." ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said, "I'm bothered." ”

Lan Xinhui closed the door behind her, Wang Yuanjing stepped into the room by herself, Lan Xinhui was stunned, and finally followed with a step.

Lan Xinhui's house is very shabby, in fact, all the rooms in the whole house are very simple, Wang Yuan does not have so much money to make this mansion magnificent, can only meet the most basic living needs. Lan Xinhui's room only has a bed and a few futons, but she bought several of Lan Xinhui's favorite musical instruments and hung them on the wall and put them in the corner, adding elegance to the room out of thin air.

"Childe, please sit down, the slave will make some tea for Childe, I have no preparation here." Lan Xinhui said in a low voice.

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need to work, I'm not thirsty." ”

"That'...... Childe, sit down. Lan Xinhui didn't know what to do, and stood aside a little flustered.

Wang Yuan nodded and sat on the futon, stretched out his hand to caress the strings, and the strings made a pleasant sound.

"I heard you playing the piano, so I followed the sound and disturbed your Yaxing."

"It's not good to be a slave, and the son who disturbs him can't sleep." Lan Xinhui said in a low voice.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "What are these words, it was not time to go to bed, it was only the first time to change." During the day, I thought about coming in the evening and bringing you something. ”

As Wang Yuan spoke, he took out a small wooden box from his arms, and after opening it, there was a burst of fragrance from it, and he reached out and handed it over.

"What is this?"

"I went to the Six Treasures Hall in the evening to buy aloe vera cream, didn't your face be scratched by a branch? Aloe vera cream heals wounds without leaving a scar, so I bought it for you. Wang Yuan smiled.

Lan Xinhui looked at Wang Yuan blankly, and Wang Yuan said, "Take it, what?" Do you want to be a female bandit with a scar on your face? ”

Lan Xinhui hurriedly stretched out her hand to take it, squatted down slightly and saluted: "Thank you for your concern." ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "I'm ashamed to say it, I don't know what I'm busy with every day, you have been here since you came, and we haven't said a few words." Speaking of which, I should thank you a lot. I'm so sorry that you're busy every day, and I'm sorry to hear that you're paying for your family's expenses. I'm here tonight to apologize to you, and I'll talk to you by the way. ”

Lan Xinhui waved her hand and said: "No need to thank you, the son saved the slave in the fire and water, and the slave should do this." Besides, this is also the slave's home, and the slave is harder, but also wants to make this house more comfortable. As for the possessions, they are even less worth mentioning. If a slave can be free, what will it cost? If there is no son to help, how can the slave get out? ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Hugh mentioned this matter, this place is poor and simple, maybe you will not be used to it." See if you have the chance, take your sister and live there, and see if you can hire two servants, or I will be very uneasy. ”

"No, no, no, that's good, I'm really satisfied. You don't know how quiet my mind is right now. I don't want to spend a day of my old days, otherwise how would I be willing to leave there? As for his sister's affairs, Childe doesn't have to worry about it. In fact, I know that my sister's mind is just to find someone to entrust her life. If you can really marry that Fang is doing small, it may not be a way to live. How can people who come out of the Qingguan have too much extravagance. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Don't think so, what about the people who came out of the Qingguan?" No one is born to be a lowly job, most of them are forced by circumstances. I think you sisters are also forced to do so. ”

Lan Xinhui looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Thank you Gongzi for your relief, Gongzi can say this, and the slave feels much better." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "I see that you are silent at home, are you unhappy living here?" Don't force yourself to stay with me just because I saved you. As I said earlier, you are not my slaves, but you are free when you have ideas. ”

Lan Xinhui was a little panicked and said, "Is Childe trying to drive me away?" ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can you mean this?" I'm just telling you not to be inhibited, not to be unhappy. ”

"The slave is not unhappy......"

"No, you've avoided me several times when I've talked to you, and if you can't get along with me, you won't get along with me, isn't this unhappy? Maybe I've inadvertently offended you. ”

Lan Xinhui was stunned: "You didn't offend me, really." I...... I did hide from you, but I was there to avoid misunderstanding. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Are you afraid of Twelve Niang gossiping?" It doesn't have to be like this, the more you do this, the more you seem to have a ghost in your heart. Do you have a ghost in your heart? ”

Wang Yuan already had the intention of laughing at this, Wang Yuan just wanted to know if Lan Xinhui really liked him as Gongsun Lan said, so he deliberately forced him with words.

Lan Xinhui's face was red, she lowered her head and was silent, and only after a while did she say: "The slave doesn't think about anything, the slave is just to avoid suspicion, don't guess too much." ”

Wang Yuan nodded slightly and said: "Okay, it's my rudeness, no matter what, since we live under one roof, I hope that the people under this roof are happy and don't have to be careful." No matter how much wind and rain there is outside, when I enter this house, there will be no more wind and rain, which is my greatest wish. ”

Lan Xinhui boldly looked at Wang Yuan and said softly: "Slave remember, don't worry, son, I'll let go in the future." As Childe said, I haven't integrated into the family yet, so I seem a little out of place. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "It's good if you understand." But you are really deserted here, I have to discuss with my eldest sister tomorrow, to see if she can move here to live, a woman lives alone in a house, this house originally had some ghost legends, presumably living is very unstable. It's also because I didn't think of this earlier, I'll do it. ”

"It's arranged by the son." Lan Xinhui said in a low voice.

Wang Yuan nodded, sat down again, flipped through some papers and piano scores on the table, looked at the Yaoqin and asked with a smile: "Just now I was outside the courtyard listening to you playing that bar over and over again, as if you were stuck, could it be that you didn't memorize all the scores in the afternoon?" ”

Lan Xinhui shook her head and said, "No, I don't think it's appropriate enough, it seems that something is missing." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and hummed: "Who is playing a song with the pipa?" Got it? ”

Lan Xinhui's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said: "Oh, I'm really stupid, this is a pipa song, but I use the yaoqin to play it, of course it's wrong." Thank you Childe for reminding me, the slave is really confused and tight. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Can you please play a song, I am full of ears." ”

Lan Xinhui said: "Dare to disobey your fate." Childe waits. ”

Lan Xinhui cocked her fingers and took out a few sticks of incense from a few rungs to light them, took off a pipa hanging on the wall, slowly sat on the futon, and gently plucked the strings three or two times with a focused expression, and suddenly the sound of pearls and jade sounded and played. ，
