Chapter 1 South Water City
"Shaodong, Que'er went out to buy yesterday, and I heard that people outside were talking about our second girl's happiness with that Ji Gongzi." The maid said happily while changing the clothes for the stream.
"Oh~ Which Ji Gongzi?" Keiliu raised his hand to pull up his hair and asked casually.
"I don't know this, but it must be the Ji family in the east of the city, and Ji Gongzi, who is known as the first merry genius in Nanshui City. I heard that this season's son is handsome, extraordinary, talented and uninhibited, and is the coveted husband of the girls in Nanshui City; I also heard that the Dongji family in the city, the richest merchant in Nanshui City, was in the jewelry business, and every time something new came out, it would be snapped up after a while. Listen, it's much better than our family. ”
"Sounds amazing." Creek Liuda. She looked in the mirror, gently inserted the jasper hairpin on her head, got up, turned her head, patted the finch on the shoulder, and said, "It's time to go." ”
The Xijia family is the tea merchant in Xiliu Village, and the only merchant family in Xiliu Village, what they do on weekdays is to buy tea from tea farmers and then sell them to various places. As the main economic pillar of the villagers, the Xi family is highly respected in Xiliu Village. Therefore, as the young owner of the Xi family and the person in charge of the tea plot in Xiliu Village, Xiliu was held and respected by everyone in Xiliu, and became the dream lover of the girls in addition to timidity. Because Xiliu, who usually looks gentle and graceful, is actually a big girl who is double ten. Of course, he didn't become the boys' dream girl, because no one dared to marry such a character who seemed to have no gender difference with him, but was much more powerful than himself.
Nanxia City is one of the most important cities for Xijia to sell tea in Xiliu Village, because this city is surrounded by rivers, convenient transportation, and the scenery is beautiful here, the climate is pleasant, and many people from all over the world gather all year round. Such an important city, in previous years, it was the head of the Xi family, that is, Xiliu's father, Xifeng, who stayed here, but because Xifeng was going out to other countries this year to explore more sales routes, so before the New Year had completely passed, he hurriedly transferred Xiliu from Xiliu Village to Nanshui City.
came to Nanshui City from Xiliu Village with Xiliu, as well as Xiliu's sister, Xixun. According to Xifeng's meaning, Xixun has grown to the age of sixteen, and he has reached the age of talking about marriage, but he has no ink on his chest and is not self-motivated, so he needs to go to the prosperous Nanshui City to practice some knowledge, just take the opportunity to find someone who matches her, so that it is convenient to talk about marriage.
It is also for this reason that as soon as he came to Nanshui City, Xiliu spent some effort to get Xixun to the most popular academy in Nanshui City-Shangyue Academy. Not for the glory of the ancestors, just for her ears and eyes, learn a little something, and contact some people.
Hearing the finch talk about Keixun, Keiliu was not surprised. She knows very well that her sister, Xixun is a simple silly girl, and when she used to see a slightly more outstanding young man in Xiliu Village, she would admire and be infatuated, but soon her infatuation will pass. I heard that the son of the Ji family was handsome and extraordinary, and Xi Xun's motivation was very common in Xi Liu's eyes, and she even felt that as long as the son of Ji was pure and kind, she could spend some energy to help her sister. It just so happens that Xi Xun has also reached the age when it is time to stabilize.
Xiliu and Qi'er came to the Lantern Festival banquet, got off the sedan chair, and happened to see Xixun also there, surrounded by a group of girls of the same age as her, all wearing white dresses and delicate and simple hairpin rings on their heads. Not far from this group of people, there were also boys and buddies of the same age standing, all of whom were also dressed in white robes, and at a glance, they knew that these were all students from Shangyue Academy.
Xiliu approached and heard the girl standing opposite Xixun say: "Sister Xixun, you are new to here, I'm afraid you don't know that this Ji family is not an ordinary family, who doesn't know Ji Gongzi among the girls in Nanshui, but no one dares to tell others in public that they are happy with Ji Gongzi, not even this young lady who is too guarded, do you understand?" ”
Xi Xun was confused when she heard this, she blinked her eyes and asked, "What kind of wrong thing did this Ji Gongzi do to make people so hated, and no one in the whole city likes him?" ”
Hearing this, Keiryu burst out laughing, she had always felt that her sister's brain circuits were strange and cute. Xiliu opened her folding fan and walked towards the group of students in the last month, she raised her voice and asked gently: "Xun'er, why are you here?" Don't have any schoolwork today? ”
When Xixun saw Xiliu, he was startled at first, and then ran over happily and hugged her: "Woo woo...... Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xun'er misses you so much......"
Xiliu pulled her off his body, raised his hand to wipe away the few tears that had overflowed from her, laughed and laughed, and said, "Tut-tut...... In less than five or six days, I thought that I had become like this, who would believe it? I don't know who it is, but at home I complain every day that I am in charge of the wide......"
"Sister, I'm crying, you're still teasing me, it's too much......" she said, and she overflowed a bunch of tears and rubbed against Xiliu.
Keiliu smiled, raised his hand to remove her so that her clothes would not be damaged, and she said, "Okay, okay, let's talk, what's the matter?" ”
Xi Xun wiped his tears with his sleeve and replied: "Today is lively in the city, the master allowed us to come out to play, it just so happens that the Lantern Festival banquet here is the most lively, let's come here to take a look." Sister, are you here for a banquet? ”
Xiliu nodded, then glanced at the crowd in front of him, met their gaze, deliberately raised his voice, and said: "According to my father's instructions, I will show you that people are here, since this Ji family's son is stained, then do you want to consider changing someone's heart, my sister of the Xi family deserves the best husband." After speaking, she raised her hand and paused, seeing that Xixun didn't answer, she continued: "I really like it very much, it doesn't matter, wait for Sister A to inquire about the character of this season's son, if it is still good, I can not correct the past wrongdoings, and it will be fulfilled by you." In this way, is Xun'er willing? ”
Hearing this, Xi Xun finally smiled and nodded.
Xiliu closed the fan, knocked her head angrily, and then took the finch through the crowd, slowly walked to the seat, and when he passed in front of the male student, a gentle and clear voice sounded: "Brother Tai, you stepped on the handkerchief below." ”
Hearing this, Keiliu looked down and saw that he had indeed stepped on a handkerchief under his feet. She bent down to pick up the handkerchief, and the handkerchief had already fallen with a footprint, which just covered a poem on the handkerchief: "The moon is on the willow tops, and people are about after dusk." And on the left upper foot of the handkerchief, the blue-blue line outlines two words - Ji Liu.
Xiliu raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "But the Ji family, the richest businessman in the east of the city, and the Ji Gongzi who is known as the first merry and talented man?" ”
Standing on the left front side of the students, dressed in a white robe, the young man with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes replied gently: "What is the richest businessman, what is the first merry talent?" Ji Liu, the son of the Ji family in the east of Xiacheng, my family is just a small businessman, seeing that it is vulgar, where can I afford these big names, my brother Tai should not laugh at Ji. ”
