After a few bumpy days on the road, I finally arrived at Qingfu.

Mrs. Qing Luan Fengying and her son Qing Yan were already waiting at the door.

Seeing the carriage coming, he stepped forward to greet his husband.

"Master, you're back!"

"Father!"

Qing Hao dismounted, only hummed at his son, took Mrs. 's hand, his face was soft, and his tone was gentle: "Let Mrs. be anxious, Mrs. come with me, see who is coming." ”

The mother and son followed Qing Hao to the front of the carriage suspiciously, Qing Xiaoxi had already got off the carriage, saw her mother and brother, and rushed over to hug her mother.

"Mother, I miss you so much!"

"You stinky girl, you still know how to miss your mother, if you really want to, you won't be away from home all day." blames on the lips, but spoils in the eyes.

Standing up straight, Qing Xiaoxi called "brother" in a regular manner.

In the entire Qingfu, if you want to say who Qing Xiaoxi is most afraid of, it is naturally her only brother Qingyan. Although her father is also strict, after all, he follows her more. Mother is simply free-range to herself, otherwise she would not be this kind of character. Except for his elder brother, he is not old but very strict, and his mother said that he was the same as his father when he was young.

However, after his father had a mother, he slowly changed, and it seemed that he had to quickly think of someone who could manage him for his brother.

No, seeing this only sister, Qing Yan missed it very much, but there was still no expression on his face, and he responded lightly, "Hmm." ”

Pouting, Qing Xiaoxi didn't have the same knowledge as him, and excitedly took his mother's hand and walked to the carriage, shouting inside: "Come down, are you shy?" ”

As soon as she said this, Luan Fengying became even more curious, who is this?

The curtain of the carriage slowly opened, revealing a very beautiful girl who had already appeared, and the girl stepped out of the carriage with a smile in her eyes.

Looking at the woman in front of her who was nearly forty years old, but her demeanor was still the same, Lan Ling Xuefu saluted: "Uncle! ”

Lan Lingxue remembered that her aunt was the daughter of a martial arts family in Qingcheng, because she practiced martial arts at home, her aunt was different from ordinary women in the boudoir since she was a child. The character is also very hearty.,Not like the average woman is restrained.。

This cousin Qing Xiaoxi is very similar to her, but Qing Xiaoxi is lazy and has not learned her mother's good skills, so she has to work half-heartedly.

Behind his aunt, a weak-crowned young man stood upright, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary, but the face that made the woman blush and heartbeat had no expression, and he was tense.

"Cousin!" The corners of Lan Lingxue's mouth raised slightly, and her eyes narrowed like half a moon because of happiness.

Twenty years of calm as water's heart jumped because of this laughter. Qingyan looked to the side uncomfortably, her cousin was still a little girl, what did she think?

Without waiting for her cousin to respond, Lan Lingxue was warmly clenched by her aunt's hands.

"Cher, I haven't seen her grow this big for many years. Your mother died, and your aunt couldn't go, but it hurt you! ”

Regarding the death of her sister-in-law, Luan Fengying will feel sorry for her young niece as long as she thinks of it, and her eyes are hot when she sees people at this moment, and she can't stop her tears.

"Madame, what are you doing with this? Let's go in first, Cher is tired all the way. Qing Hao was afraid that Lan Lingxue would be uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the topic.

Realizing that she had mentioned something unhappy when she first met, Luan Fengying quickly wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "You see that my aunt is confused." Come, Xue'er, let's hurry in, my aunt will make you eat tonight, and I promise that you will be raised for nothing in a few days. ”

Holding her niece with one hand and following her daughter at the same time, Luan Fengying kept talking happily. Qinghao followed behind, looking at his family with relief.

Behind, Qing Yan looked at his cousin's emaciated back, and felt a little distressed in his heart. At such a young age, her mother is gone, she should be very sad!

One night, Luan Fengying kept giving Lan Lingxue sleet, and Lan Lingxue, who only ate, couldn't eat it anymore.

At night, Lan Lingxue lay on the bed that her uncle and mother had cleaned up for her, and the corners of her lips curled up with satisfaction. She hadn't felt this way in a long time since her mother died. No matter how much her grandmother loved her, she couldn't be with her all the time.

Thinking of her mother, a little tear slipped from the corner of Lan Lingxue's eyes, and she quickly disappeared into the hair of her sideburns.

"Squeak", just as Lan Lingxue was thinking about it, she heard the door being gently opened. In the dark, Lan Lingxue saw a slender body, and gently approached the side of the bed with a cat's waist.

Gently touching the things around her that did not have any self-defense, Lan Lingxue became nervous. Just as he was about to call someone, the dark shadow spoke.

"Cousin, did you sleep?"

Deliberately lowered her voice, Lan Lingxue still heard that it was her cousin who lived in a courtyard.

My aunt was afraid that she would be bored, so she arranged her room in her cousin's Dawn Garden, and the bedroom was no worse than her cousin's.

"Cousin, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" Lan Lingxue also deliberately lowered her voice, for fear of waking up the girl outside.

Lifting the quilt, Qing Xiaoxi let Lan Lingxue sleep in it, and got into the quilt as soon as she raised her legs.

"I can't sleep, do you think I can still see Lin Gongzi?"

It turned out that she missed her sweetheart, Lan Lingxue was funny, and she was separated for a few hours.

"If my cousin misses him, why don't you let my uncle find him?"

This is a good idea, Qing Xiaoxi was about to nod, and then heard her cousin say: "If my cousin really likes him, you can't be in a hurry, you don't even know where his home is or who else is in the family, so remember him like this." What if he's not a good guy? ”

The previous sentence was just to test Qing Xiaoxi, and she knew what her cousin thought. The back is to calm down Qing Xiaoxi, getting married is a lifelong thing, and you have to find out the details.

Listening to Lan Lingxue's words, Qing Xiaoxi was deflated. She also knows what her cousin said, but it's just ...... I really want to see him!

After breakfast, Qing Xiaoxi took Lan Lingxue out. The beautiful name is to take my cousin to see Aoba Castle. Actually, it's to see if you can meet Akabane.

Knowing his cousin's thoughts, Lan Lingxue also cooperated, although he didn't let his cousin worry, and first found out the details of the red feather. But she also felt in her heart that Akabane shouldn't be a bad person, but she didn't think anything about it.

Qing Xiaoxi took Lan Lingxue to walk from the east of the city to the west of the city, from the jewelry store to the weapons store. As for the ready-to-wear shops, antique shops, pawn shops, grocery stores in the middle...... It was a family that didn't leak, and Lan Lingxue, who was tired, didn't even have the strength to walk.

Seeing that her cousin was still full of interest, Lan Lingxue regretted coming out with her, thinking that she would just go shopping, but she didn't know that her cousin didn't miss a single store. This is shopping, it's clearly looking for someone!

Lan Lingxue, who didn't want to leave anymore, finally stopped her cousin, who was still going to continue shopping, and said weakly: "Cousin, it's noon, can we find a place to rest and eat something first?" ”

Hearing her cousin's weak voice, Qing Xiaoxi realized that she was too excited, forgetting that her cousin was a weak boudoir woman who was not as good as her own physical strength.

Turning around, he looked at his cousin apologetically: "Cousin, I'm sorry, cousin forgot that you rarely walk so much." There is a restaurant in front, let's go and rest, and by the way, please eat something delicious. ”

Looking along her cousin's hand, Lan Lingxue really saw a well-decorated restaurant opposite. A heart on the verge of despair finally sees hope.

I didn't want to waste any more energy talking, so I just pulled my cousin over.

The restaurant not only looks atmospheric from the outside, but also decorates the furnishings inside the room, and only after listening to my cousin's introduction did I know that this restaurant is one of the largest restaurants in Aoba City, and the backer is very large.

Before, Qing Xiaoxi sometimes sat in the lobby when she came back, but this time she was with her cousin, and her cousin was tired, so she directly asked Xiao Er to take them to the private room.

The girls who came were all close girls, and they had a good relationship with their own young lady, Lan Lingxue also asked them all to sit down together, Qing Xiaoxi didn't care about her temperament, and it was even more common for girls to sit and eat with her.

asked the guy to order a few signature dishes of the restaurant, and Qing Xiaoxi kept talking.

"Cousin, you said that we all visited half of Aoba Castle, why didn't you meet him?"

"Could it be that we are in too much of a hurry and miss it?"

"It's also possible that he is in the south of the city, let's walk from the south of the city to the north of the city in the afternoon, maybe we will meet him."

“……”

finally sat down to rest for a while, and before the glass of water was finished, I listened to my cousin talk non-stop, and several girls around me covered their mouths and snickered.

"Cousin, it's not that we're in a hurry, it's that you're too anxious. Didn't Mr. Lin say that there was something wrong with coming to Aoba City? You can't go shopping like us! ”

In order to stop her ears from being tortured by her cousin, Lan Lingxue interrupted Qing Xiaoxi's self-talk.

It seems that too, people are here to do business, not to play. Thinking of this, Qing Xiaoxi's excitement just now was gone, replaced by frustration.

"If I knew this, I should have asked Lin Yu where he lived, and it would have saved us from looking for people in the sea like this."

In the private room next door, Chi Hane, who was talking about business with others, vaguely seemed to hear someone say Lin Yu. His cultivation is not low, his ear power is more sensitive than ordinary people, and he up his ears to listen carefully.

"Cousin, don't worry, we've only been looking for a morning, and we'll always meet in a few more days, Aoba City is so big. If you don't feel at ease, let's go to the city guard and say something, and if you see Lin Yu going out of the city, follow our ward. As long as he doesn't leave the city, we can always meet him. ”

"My cousin is right, why didn't I expect that my father happened to be friendly with the city guard, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to pay attention."

"Well, that's it! When you're done eating, you'll go shopping in the afternoon, and maybe you'll be able to meet it today. ”

"Still going? I'm dying of exhaustion! ”

Akabane, who was eavesdropping openly next door, laughed out loud, it turned out that he was looking for himself, maybe he could have a chance encounter with them later, and he couldn't let the girl run around all the time!

On the other side, the shopkeeper Luo, who was using his eloquence to promote his own things to Akabane, heard Akabane's laughter, and looked at Akabane suspiciously, is it so funny?

"Lin Gongzi, did I say something wrong?"

"Ah...... No, no, it's me who thought of something funny, Shopkeeper Luo, please continue! ”

The old shopkeeper Luo on the other side instantly felt ignored, and what he said here was in full swing, and he actually wanted to go elsewhere. However, he didn't dare to show it, who made him the person in charge of the famous red-letter business in the Qingjie Continent!

The "red" word firm, a well-funded firm in the Qingjie Continent, is rumored to be the boss behind it is the Lin family, a family whose strength is not inferior to the Huang family. As long as it is a business, no one does not want to do business with it, because once it is connected with it, it means that there will be a continuous source of money in the future.

And, Lin Yu, who is in his early twenties in front of him and looks like a gentleman, is the person in charge of this business. Even if the shopkeeper Luo is dissatisfied, he has to hold it!
