Summer flowers are fleeting, and summer light is easy to wither.

Fan Qiubai looked at the brightness in front of him and the handsome face of the tall young man, but his heart finally turned over in the continuous rain for several days, and found the kind of hot summer that should be now.

Knowing that the shouting in the shade of the trees is really powerful, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and occasionally there is a breeze passing by, and it is a clear sound that falls in a row, which makes people calm and elegant

"I went to Wangjing Mountain outside the city before, the mountain is not high, but it is also a beautiful mountain and clear water, and it is indeed a good place to go for occasional hiking."

Chu Feng said casually, lowered his head to peel the lychee, and watched the tender white and intact flesh and juice suddenly protrude from the shell, which made Chu Feng feel a wonderful sense of satisfaction.

Chu Feng didn't eat the peeled pulp, but just put it on the porcelain plate next to him. There is carved lacquer with yellow glaze on the plate, and the yellow oriole treetops chirp in spring, which is very poetic.

There were already five peeled lychees on the plate, Chu Feng peeled one more and put it in, and then handed it to Fan Qiubai.

Fan Qiubai has been stupidly watching the movements of this handsome young man, thinking silently in his heart, why is he so good-looking, why are his fingers so good-looking, and even the action of peeling lychees is so good-looking? Why is it that I can barely take my eyes off him?

It's not like I don't know the answers to these questions in my heart. Fan Qiubai's little heart was pounding, the sound was too loud, she was very afraid that Chu Feng would hear it.

But this is naturally impossible, there is a stone table between the two, and between the two of them, an inexplicable atmosphere envelops the place.

Fan Qiubai almost missed such an atmosphere.

But she finally realized something, her nose was slightly sour, and she smiled miserably, almost self-deprecatingly. Bowed his head.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Feng was puzzled, his brows furrowed slightly.

From the very beginning, step into the back garden of the Fan Mansion. After seeing Fan Qiubai, Chu Feng could feel a strange atmosphere.

Look closely. Fan Qiubai's eyes seemed to be a little red and swollen, Chu Feng didn't care about it at first, only guessed that she was sick and her body was inevitably uncomfortable, but when she looked at Feibai beside her, her face was also listless, and she always felt that something was wrong.

Afraid of involving the privacy of the other party's home, Chu Feng didn't want to ask directly. But at this time, seeing Fan Qiubai's eyes slightly red, how could he hold back this thought in his heart any longer.

Fan Qiubai was most afraid that Chu Feng would ask this question, but the time to come has finally come.

My heart was sour. Fan Qiubai hurriedly turned his head sideways, raised his sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes at an angle that Chu Feng couldn't see.

No matter how stupid Chu Feng was, he could see what Fan Qiubai was doing.

"My lady is getting married!"

Feibai, who had been standing next to him, couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly came out with such a sentence.

Chu Feng was stunned for a moment.

"Flying White!" Fan Qiubai hurriedly scolded, peeked at Chu Feng, and saw that the latter had a stunned expression on his face, and his heart was like overturning the Wuwei jar, and all kinds of emotions came one by one, almost swallowing her.

After all, there is a difference between men and women. Now in the back garden of Fan's Mansion, in addition to Chu Feng and the three of them, there are three or four mothers-in-law standing seven or eight steps away, staring at this side all the time.

Feibai glanced over there. Pretending to pour tea for Chu Feng, he found an angle with his back to the mother-in-law, and said anxiously: "Chu Langjun." How much can you help me think of a way, my lady doesn't want to marry that Li Langjun! ”

"Li Langjun?" Chu Feng subconsciously muttered and repeated.

Feibai was so anxious that he almost stomped his feet: "It's the Li Langjun from the Li Family Calligraphy and Painting House in Hangzhou City!" He came to the capital five days ago to propose his relatives. Although Ah Lang didn't say anything, he saw that he was ready to agree. Yesterday, I already took the lady's birthday. and you will get ......."

"Fly white! Don't talk nonsense. Fan Qiubai hurriedly grabbed the white, looked at Chu Fengqiang and said with a smile: "Don't listen to this little girl's nonsense, the reason why I was uncomfortable for a few days at first was just that I suddenly realized that I was going to get married, and I couldn't accept it." But now, after all, at this age, it is impossible to mess around in my mother's house for the rest of my life, sooner or later there will be such a day. The Lang Jun of the Li family...... I've seen it too, and it's true that it's a talent, and my father seems to value it very much, so I ......"

"The Li family calligraphy and painting shop in Hangzhou City is Li Liangchen and Li Liangji's family? Is it Li Liangji who came to propose? He's in the city of Tokyo? Chu Feng suddenly interrupted Fan Qiubai's words.

"That's him!" Fei Bai said, "My lady doesn't like him at all!" ”

"Fly white! How old are you, how can you say such childish things! Fan Qiu raised his face and scolded, "You are really spoiled, how can you say such things in front of the guests, let Chu Langjun laugh at it!" This marriage event has always been the words of the matchmaker of the parents, what do you like or dislike, it's really nonsense! ”

"But, but......" Feibai jumped to his feet in a hurry, "Little lady, if you really think so, why did you secretly cry for a few days in a row, and make trouble with this illness now!" ”

Fan Qiubai listened to Feibai, the little girl, say everything, and was so anxious that he couldn't do it, he peeked at Chu Feng, and saw Chu Feng looking at him with a bottomless look, his heart jumped even more, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.

"It's just that I think that seeing my parents again in the future is not as easy as it is now, and all these trivial things make me a little uneasy." Fan Qiubai smiled slightly, "How can you have these nonsense fabrications, you don't have to make people laugh." ”

Feibai was a little confused, and for a while he couldn't tell how much was true or false in his wife's words.

"Little lady, is there anything you need to do with the old slaves?"

The mothers-in-law who were standing next to them noticed the strangeness here, and at this time one of them came over, asked with a smile, and looked at the three of them without concealment.

"It's nothing," Fan Qiubai smiled lightly, "Feibai's greedy Nizi thinks that there are fewer lychees for her, and she is so anxious that she only jumps to her feet!" Let's just tease her. ”

"Yes," said the old mother-in-law with a smile, "the little lady can rarely eat something, so the old slave told them to get more." It's just that it's windy in this pavilion after all, if the little lady is fine. Let's go back to our room and rest early! ”

The woman's tone was not polite, Fan Qiubai listened. smiled: "What does Aunt Qing mean by this?" What kind of character is Chu Langjun, he came to visit Mr. Lu for him. The father is not there, and there is no one to entertain guests, is it difficult to let Chu Langjun wait alone in the front hall, what kind of hospitality is this? When we went north, we have been walking together, after the business and cargo of Hangzhou City were lost, if it weren't for Chu Langjun, what kind of difference would the family's business have, is something that you can know if you have been in the courtyard of the deep house for a long time? His father appointed Chu Langjun to serve as a pilgrimage in the store, and talents are rare. When you say such a thing in front of Chu Chaofeng now, do you want Chu Chaofeng to wash his hands and explain various reasons to his father? I still hope that Chu Langjun will go back to Bingming Mr. Lu, saying that my Fan family's hospitality is disgusting! ”

Fan Qiubai's voice was not loud, even almost faint, but there was a hidden majesty, which made the woman's face gradually turn pale.

"The old slave is just thinking about the little lady in his heart, my brain is stupid, where can I think of so much when I talk for a while, the little lady is taught. Clear...... Pilgrimage. Don't forget to go to your heart, it's all old slaves who can't talk and make trouble. The mother-in-law laughed twice, and then said, "It's rare for the little lady to eat more lychees, and the old slave will let people prepare more" and hurriedly withdrew.

Chu Feng watched from the side. I sighed slightly.

Fortunately, when he came here, he did not take root in the big family of the deep house compound like many traversers. He himself doesn't have Fan Qiubai's ability to even fight and dispel, and his words are thorny. If he was against such a slave who bullied his master, Chu Feng asked himself that he might not be able to use such a method as Fan Qiubai.

Meantime. Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh slightly. has lived in such an environment since childhood, the so-called little lady of a wealthy family. It seems that life is not easy. Each has its own difficulties!

It's just that how much of what she said about marriage is true and how much is false?

Chu Feng looked at Fan Qiubai's face, and thought silently in his heart: If what she said is true, I naturally don't want to say more and do more. But if it's not, it's just that she's being strong, what can an ordinary person like me do......

"It's all my fault, and I let those mothers-in-law find fault with something." Feibai looked at the back of the woman leaving, bowed her head and pouted to blame herself.

"It's fine." Fan Qiubai gently patted Feibai's back and chuckled.

"Fan Niangzi," Chu Feng looked at the patch of slump behind Fan Qiubai, "Does Fan Niangzi want to marry Li Liangji?" ”

Fan Qiubai's heart jumped, but his face was not obvious, he only chuckled: "What do you want to think." As I said before, the marriage event is nothing more than the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents......"

"I only ask Fan Niangzi if you want to or not." Chu Feng's eyes were firm, and he looked squarely into Fan Qiubai's eyes.

Fan Qiubai felt that he was about to be burned by this gaze, and his heart was chaotic, with both sorrow, resentment, and infatuation and confusion, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all, so he just looked at Chu Feng stupidly.

Chu Feng smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Fan Niangzi, I may not have any ability, and I don't have any identity worth showing off. But...... Let's put it this way, if you want to marry Li Liangji, I naturally bless you. But if you don't want to...... Whether you want to do it or not, it has nothing to do with your parents, it has nothing to do with your family, it has nothing to do with everything else, it only depends on your own will. If, Fan Niangzi, you don't want to marry Li Liangji, I will help you and let this marriage fail. ”

Fan Qiubai could hear her heart beating suddenly, she looked at Chu Feng's face, looked at the green of the big banyan tree behind Chu Feng, and her eyes were in a trance, and she couldn't see clearly.

Chu Feng looked at Fan Qiubai's eyes that were slightly flushed again, and he had already understood something.

He wanted to step forward and hug this woman who was weak on the outside and strong on the inside, but he also understood what kind of disaster such an act would bring to the woman in front of him if such behavior fell in the eyes of others, so he suppressed the emotions in his heart.

"That's it," Chu Feng sighed slightly, "If Fan Niangzi wants to marry Li Liangji, she will nod." ”

Fan Qiubai looked at Chu Feng's eyes, he didn't move for a long time, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

Chu Feng stood up and smiled slightly: "I understand." ”

The breeze blows, and the flowers fall.

It's time for the blossoms.

But this is not necessarily the curtain of the sad spring, it is also possible, it is just the prelude to the beginning of midsummer.

……

……

"Recently, there have been a lot of trivial matters, so I haven't been going to Mr. Lu from time to time. Did the old gentleman blame me? ”

"Uncle sent things from time to time, and his heart had already been reached. Sir, let me bring a word. ”

"Oh? What words? ”

"If my uncle has any problems recently, if Mr. can help, there must be no need to be polite." Chu Feng looked at Fan Yangming and said solemnly.

Fan Yangming stopped his footsteps wandering around the corridor at random, glanced at Chu Feng deeply sideways, and sighed slightly.

Feeling tired for a while, Fan Yangming simply sat on the stone bench in the cloister, raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyebrows.

"Things in the business field are turbulent, one day at a time, in fact, no one can tell. Chu Lang is a smart person, what happened in the calligraphy and painting shop yesterday, you must have guessed some of it. ”

Fan Yangming sighed slightly, waved his hand at the servants who followed behind him, and the servants gave a salute and retreated far away.

"Fang Cai Chulang, you are chatting with the little girl, did she talk about her marriage contract?" Fan Yangming sighed again, he always felt that the number of times he sighed in the past few days was more than the number of times in the previous ten years combined, "The Li calligraphy and painting store in Hangzhou City has been operating vigorously in recent years. The Li family once probed my tone and mentioned marriage. That Li Liangji, I have been in contact with a few times, and I have also had business dealings, although he is arrogant, but his temperament is still good, and his age is just right. Chu Lang, you are a smart person, in fact, I don't have to hide it, you must be able to guess. If our two families get married, it is naturally because I need the help of the Li family. It's just my daughter's side...... Ay! ”

Fan Yangming let out another long sigh and was speechless on his back.

Chu Feng was like a mirror in his heart, and said, "Is it because of the problem of the cargo that it has led to the current situation?" ”

"It's not quite, business has begun to light up in recent years, not only our family, but also many calligraphy and painting shops are facing today's problems. How to say it, in fact, it is a matter of the current situation, but the specific things in this are not easy to say...... On the contrary, it is the Li family, who bucks the trend, and the business is getting better and better......"

"Uncle wants to unite the Li family, what he values is the Li family's methods." Chu Feng looked at Fan Yangming and looked at the white hair on his sideburns.

There are some words, I don't want to be clear, but if I don't want to be clear, this kind of foggy conversation with others is not something Chu Feng can do.

Chu Feng whispered, just like whispering: "The Li family's imitation methods are indeed first-class, and Uncle Fan must have taken a fancy to this, so he wants to marry the Li family." It's just that, just as Shopkeeper Huang won't accept this kind of thing, I'm afraid Uncle Fan needs to reconsider many things. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Yangming looked at Chu Feng in almost horror. (To be continued.) )
