On the twelfth day, Xiliu took the finch to Shangyue Academy, only to see that Xixun was still choking with a little white. Xiliu frowned and said, "Didn't you tell you not to provoke Master Jiang?" ”

Xi Xun replied: "Sister, this time it was really not me who stole the dog, it was Master Jiang who asked me to help him walk the dog." ”

Keiliu asked, "Why doesn't he walk his own dog?" ”

Xi Xun lowered his voice and said, "Sister, let me tell you, Master Jiang, he was afraid of dogs, and he never touched this little white dog." ”

"Then why does he still have to raise it?" The stream is puzzled.

He said that the dog was given by her sister and told him to keep it alive, so he raised it. Sister, let me tell you, Master Jiang is actually pitiful, he lost his parents since he was a child, and he only needs a younger sister in the family. Xi Xun frowned, and the pity in his words leaked out.

Xiliu had never seen her like this, and she was a little worried, but when she thought about it, Xixun's heart had always been soft, like treating that little white dog. So he only said: "Then you lead this dog, how can we go back to Xiliu Village?" Hurry up and take the dog back, let's go out early. ”

Xi Xun hesitated, and said after a long time: "Sister, let's invite Master Jiang to go back to Xiliu Village together, these days of Qingming, there is no need to teach in the academy, and the rest of the masters have gone home, only Master Jiang is still here." Qingming is the day of worshipping ancestors, and he can't go back to the capital, I am worried that he will stay here alone, and I feel uncomfortable thinking of my deceased parents......"

Xiliu frowned, looked at Xixun twice, and saw that she was cautious and very nervous, and frowned deeply again. A long time ago, Xiliu had made up his mind to withdraw as soon as possible and withdraw from the people and things related to the Ji family, whether it was Ji Liu, or people related to Ji Liu, naturally including Jiang Fengmian, who was watching Ji Liu. But she suddenly found that she couldn't do anything with the Ji family at all, and she withdrew safely, not to mention that Miss Wu was already aware of her, and the Ji family was also a hurdle when she entered the Ministry of Commerce, plus a few days ago, she inadvertently offended Ji Liu again, it was simply, the more it was talking, the more chaotic it became, right now, looking at Xixun's appearance of worrying about Jiang Fengmian, one by one, all of them were close to the Ji family, just like in the dark, fate has its own arrangement.

Xiliu was helpless, and only said: "Then you go and ask Master Jiang if he is going?" It's just to go home to worship the ancestors, and it's okay to bring a friend, but it's going to be faster, I'm afraid that the road will be too late to walk. ”

Xixun was so happy that he handed the puppy to her and ran out.

After a while, Xi Xun came back, and in addition to Jiang Fengmian, there was also Ji Liu.

Xi Liu's heart slandered: "Sure enough... The more you pull it, the more you pull it..."

She saluted them one by one, then looked at Xixun.

Xi Xun said: "I saw Ji Gongzi at Jiang Fuzi's, and he said that he would go too. ”

Xiliu then asked, "Doesn't Gongzi Ji have to go back to Ji's house to worship his ancestors?" ”

Ji Liu replied: "No, the Ji family does not have this custom." ”

Xiliu thought, forget it, accept your fate, let him go, the matter of the Ministry of Commerce, she still has to pass the Ji family, so he said. "In that case, let's go."

Keiliu didn't expect so many people to go, she originally thought it was just her and Xixun, so she only drove a carriage over. She thought, she, Xixun, and Qi'er were sitting in the car, and Ah Da was out to catch the car, and the top of the carriage was enough, but now, with Ji Liu and Jiang Fengmian, plus a Ji Liu's attendant, this carriage couldn't sit down at all.

So he said: "I didn't know that the two of us were going together, so I only drove a small car over, how is this good?" ”

Ji Liu glanced at Xiliu's carriage and said, "It's true that I can't sit down." So he immediately ordered Amu to go and bring his carriage, and so on was a long delay.

After everyone set out from the academy, they did not arrive at Xiliu Village until more than halfway through the first watch.

Lin Qiao'er waited at the intersection with her subordinates early, and when she saw Xiliu Xixun, she couldn't help but complain: "Why did the two girls get so late, we have been waiting here for a long time, and the food prepared in the kitchen has already been cold." As she was talking, she suddenly found that Xiliu and Xixun were followed by a wide carriage, elegant and elegant, and then saw that the carriage silk curtain was opened, and two handsome and extraordinary sons came down, she wondered: "These two sons...... It's ......"

Xiliu replied: "Auntie, this is Xun'er's friend, one is her husband, and the other is a classmate. ”

Lin Qiao'er said happily: "Ah... It's our friend who is looking for children, I'll go and see..."As he spoke, he walked back, saluted Ji Liu and Jiang Fengmian one by one, and then happily asked all kinds of words.

"How old are the two sons? Where do you live? Have you ever had a wife and children, and I don't know ......... birthday"

Xiliu came up and interrupted, and said, "Auntie, let's go back first this big night, we have traveled all the way, and we are almost exhausted." ”

Lin Qiao'er stopped asking and led everyone into the village. On the way, she still couldn't help but look behind her a few times, and said to Xiliu with some anxiety: "Big girl, aren't those two sons the husband you are looking for for Xun'er?" I don't have to say anything about how people look, but the man in white, looking cold, I'm afraid it doesn't match our Xun'er's temperament. Look at the ink-clothed boy again, it looks gentle and humble, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like a simple-minded character, we are looking for a simple person, I am worried about ......"

Xiliu interrupted her words with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, these two sons just live far away and can't go home during the Qingming Festival, so they came to play with us." ”

Lin Qiao'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiliu doesn't blame Lin Qiao'er for being troublesome, she is Xixun's nurse, and it is normal to worry. Since her father took her and Xixun to Xiliu Village, Lin Qiaoer came to the courtyard of Xi's house, when Xiliu was 5 years old, and Xixun was only a little more than a year old. Later, Lin Qiaoer was like a mother, growing up with her and Xixun. When she was young, she often went out with her father, and Lin Qiaoer took Xixun with her at Xi's house. After so many years, she treats Xixun as if she were her own children.

In fact, Xiliu can more or less see Lin Qiaoer's affection for her father, she is not bad-looking, and she is gentle, it stands to reason that she is not worried about finding a suitable family, but she has not married yet, just stayed in the Xi family. It's a pity that her father always treats her lightly, maybe she can't get out of the things of more than ten years ago, Xiliu often sighs secretly in her heart.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone followed Lin Qiao'er into the Xi family compound, and then the servants heated the dinner and brought it up.

In the early morning of the second day, Lin Qiao'er prepared the sacrificial items, woke up Xiliu, explained them one by one, and ordered the next person to ask Xixun Ji Liu and others to get up and clean up, everything was ready, and when the time came, everyone went to the mountain.

On the stream mountain in the early morning, the white fog is vast, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy, and after walking a few steps, the dew will stick the corners of everyone's clothes, and the fluff of the little white dog led by Xixun will be glued into locks and locks, so ugly, Jiang Fengmian and Ji Liu walked behind everyone, frowning and silent.

Xi Xun complained: "Sister, why did we go up the mountain so early, you see how wet this little walk is?" Xi Xun gave Jiang Fengmian's puppy a name without authorization, called "Walk".

Xiliu replied: "You wet the dog with dew in the morning, and the sun will be hot later." Qingming, you should go up the mountain earlier. ”

Xi Xun saw that he couldn't say that he was his own sister, so he immediately turned his head to find foreign aid and asked, "Master, Ji Gongzi, is this the case over there?" ”

Ji Liu and Jiang Fengmian looked at each other coldly, and both replied: "No." "Apparently also annoyed by the heavy dew on the mountain.
