In the afternoon, in the Guanjin Mansion of Qiang Yan City.

Lin Xiyan sat in his room, the window was not very open, and the wind blowing in made Lin Xiyan feel refreshed.

If it is said that in the autumn afternoon, Lin Xiyan's favorite thing to do is naturally to nest in his room and look at the books left by his predecessors, or other books that he is more interested in.

On the coffee table at hand was a teacup, which was freshly brewed and steaming with fine black tea.

Lin Xiyan's movements were gentle and elegant, and when he lifted the teacup and brought it close to his mouth, he blew softly.

With a small mouth, he just tested the temperature and felt that it was still a little hot, so he put it down again and continued to look at the book in his hand.

This kind of leisurely time is really rare for the eldest lady of a business family.

Don't worry about anything in the house, although the old lady is not at home sometimes, there is a housekeeper who will help deal with it.

Lin Xiyan enjoys the quiet years and lives a comfortable life, which is her daily goal.

The sunlight outside the window, through the window, sprinkled on the floor of the room, but no one noticed.

Lin Xiyan was alone in the room, no one spoke, no one disturbed, immersed in the world of books.

Xiao Ming was standing outside the room at this time, waiting quietly, looking at the trees in the courtyard, and the leaves on the branches were gently swaying by the wind.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiyan would only leave Xiao Ming alone, outside his room.

The other maids and subordinates would keep a certain distance, so as not to make a sudden noise that would disturb Lin Xiyan's thoughts of reading.

And those maids and subordinates can naturally only be distributed in all corners of the Guanjin Mansion.

On this early autumn afternoon, the sun is shining, and no one will notice the occasional nap.

Master Lin and Mrs. Lin were not at the house, and for many days, they had their own things, and both of them left early and returned late.

After Lin Xiyan read the book for a while, she felt a little tired. She put the book down and turned slightly to the side in the direction of the window.

Lin Xiyan's left hand rested on the table, supporting his face with his palm, and looked out of the window.

From time to time, a few unnamed birds flew outside the window, and they flew over the eaves and into the distance.

In this leisure time, Lin Xiyan's eyes are always unconsciously locked on a certain bird.

I watched them fly from far away, fly under the eaves of their rooms, and fly away again without much rest.

The birds were silent, passing by the window, as if they had come to take a look at Lin Xiyan.

In this way, when the bird that Lin Xiyan watched flew away, his eyes would begin to search again, and then shift to the next bird.

Unconsciously, there were already a lot of birds flying past Lin Xiyan's window.

I don't know why, at this moment, Lin Xiyan saw and felt it with his own eyes. In the early autumn of this year, there seemed to be a lot more birds than in previous years who were preparing to fly away from Qiang Yan City and migrate to other places for the winter.

When Lin Xiyan stared at the birds, although his attention was still concentrated, he was still a little more relaxed than reading a book.

After watching the birds for a while, Lin Xiyan felt a little bored. She raised her head, a little lower than she had just been, and looked at the trees where the birds had flown over.

There are still many leaves on the branches of the trees, and they still carry the green that has not completely faded before the summer leaves.

Strange to say, when Lin Xiyan felt uncomfortable in his eyes, he would habitually look out of the window.

Whether it's looking at the birds flying around or the verdant trees, it will relieve the fatigue of her eyes.

Lin Xiyan herself can't remember when she developed the habit.

While looking at the green leaves, Lin Xiyan's hand reached out to the coffee table tray placed on the table again, and picked up the teacup that he had put down before.

The teacup is no longer steaming like it was just now, just from the outside, it should just be warm.

But Lin Xiyan's gaze didn't stay on the teacup for a moment, so when he picked up the teacup and put it close to his mouth, he still didn't forget to blow two more breaths.

Just took a sip and made sure that it was already a lot colder, Lin Xiyan raised the teacup and drank it all, leaving nothing left.

The black tea in the teacup is made from pressed black hair tea. The appearance of the tea leaves is black and brown, the aroma is pure, and the taste is mellow.

Even if Lin Xiyan drank it all, he could still feel the aftertaste in his throat, which made people have an endless aftertaste.

This should be the taste of nature, Lin Xiyan couldn't help but smile when she thought of this.

Lin Xiyan was in the room, looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little boring, so he turned his eyes to the book he hadn't finished reading just now.

Xiao Ming stood outside the door, like the other maids, he could only look at the courtyard in front of him and look at the sky overhead. Looking at everything in front of me, it is a scene that I am already familiar with and can no longer be familiar with.

There's nothing to do at the moment, and there's no other thing to spend on for fun. After a long time, it is normal to make some small difficulties.

Even if he was just standing, Xiao Ming would inevitably want to doze off. So she closed her eyes slightly and leaned against the wall outside Lin Xiyan's room.

Since Xiao Ming was standing on the side of the door, outside of Lin Xiyan's line of sight, no matter what she was doing outside, Lin Xiyan didn't know.

The good time of the afternoon should have been spent quietly and smoothly like this.

It wasn't until a man walked from the street in front of the Guanjin Mansion to the gate of the Guanjin Mansion that all this was broken.

The man stood at the door of Guanjin Mansion and was about to go directly inside, but the two guards were quick and blocked in front of the man together.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Wu, Miss has orders. You can't step into the Guanjin Mansion without the permission of the owner of the Guanjin Mansion. ”

The two guards at the door had very serious expressions, and one of them stepped forward and said something that didn't look like he was joking at all.

But when he finished speaking, he still retreated, and the two of them stood side by side in front of the man, at the gate of Guanjin Mansion.

Stopped and warned by an unknown doorman, the man felt a little embarrassed standing at the door.

However, the man did not argue much, for he knew that before long, someone would surely come over and deal with the matter.

As soon as the doorman said this, the voice suddenly came in and reached the ears of Lin Xiyan and Xiao Ming.

Lin Xiyan just frowned, and didn't hear what the sound was outside, so she continued to look at her book.

Xiao Ming pricked up his ears and judged that the sound should have come from the gate of Guanjin Mansion, so he walked to the gate of Guanjin Mansion as soon as possible.

In the Guanjin Mansion, when the lord and lady were not there, in order not to affect Lin Xiyan's mood of reading, in addition to the housekeeper, it was Xiao Ming who dealt with this kind of thing.

After a long time, sometimes Xiao Ming has become a little housekeeper. She not only worries about the big and small things in the Guanjin Mansion, but also knows many things that outsiders don't know.

When Xiao Ming walked over, he saw two doormen standing in front of the man, and he didn't want to let him in.

And when Xiao Ming got closer, he saw the clothes and appearance of the person who came, and there was already an irrepressible happy expression on his face.

"Young Master Wu! Wait a moment, and I'll report to the young lady. ”

The person outside the door looked at Xiao Ming, and the two made eye contact and smiled at each other. However, Xiao Ming only said this briefly, and did not let the doorman let him in directly.

Because before, Lin Xiyan had a big quarrel with this Young Master Wu.

After several days, this Young Master Wu did not come to visit Guanjin Mansion again.

Lin Xiyan was angry, and all the servants in the Guanjin Mansion woke up.

If this Young Master Wu comes to Guanjin Mansion next time, it is impossible for him to do whatever he wants like before, without any hindrance, and go directly into Guanjin Mansion.

Xiao Ming didn't hesitate, he turned around and left as soon as possible, wanting to get to Lin Xiyan as soon as possible and tell her the good news.

Xiao Ming walked quickly to Lin Xiyan's door, but he didn't go in as soon as possible, but stood at the door and didn't speak.

But after all, she suddenly appeared in Lin Xiyan's field of vision, and Lin Xiyan naturally noticed her.

The sound that came from the door just now, Lin Xiyan also faintly heard it, Xiao Ming must have come to report the situation.

Lin Xiyan's afterglow glanced at Xiao Ming, and he could clearly detect that Xiao Ming's mood was very high, presumably because he had seen the person who had just made a noise.

Only when the lord and lady come back, or when some people come, Xiao Ming will be in this happy state.

But after all, when the lord or lady comes back, there will be the sound of people in the house to greet him.

Now there is no follow-up and other movements, it should be the idle people waiting for it.

Lin Xiyan didn't make any big moves, just turned around slightly, looked at Xiao Ming, and then said very softly.

"Come in, Xiao Ming. What's going on? Tell me directly, is there a rare guest outside the door? ”

Lin Xiyan had already guessed who the person who would come, and her tone was a little joking. I really didn't expect that it would take so long to reconcile, it seems that it really gave him face before.

When Xiao Ming heard Lin Xiyan's words, he didn't continue to stand stupidly outside the door, but stepped directly into Lin Xiyan's room.

But even when he walked into Lin Xiyan's room, Xiao Ming was just standing near the door, and he didn't dare to go further inside.

Although standing at the door of the room, Xiao Ming was still very happy, and he seemed to be much more energetic, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

On the contrary, Lin Xiyan's face did not have a little excited expression, everything was expected, could it be that he still dared not come? It's just a matter of the length of the interval.

Seeing that Lin Xiyan was a little desireless and not very interested, Xiao Ming did not procrastinate, and explained the situation directly.

"Miss, just now Young Master Wu arrived outside the gate of our Guanjin Mansion. But the doorman listened to you, and instead of letting him in directly, he stopped him outside. ”

When Lin Xiyan heard this, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on her face, this was the opening she wanted.

"That's good."
