Lan Lingxue went out of the dark room, went to find Lan Peng, and asked the next person about Lan Peng's study, and Lan Lingxue walked directly to the study.

"Miss, let's not go! No one can approach the master's study, even the lady rarely comes. Xiaoqiao was a little scared, and pulled Lan Lingxue's clothes and said.

She took Xiaoqiao's hand with her backhand and said firmly: "What are you afraid of, I am here." Sister Yu and the second aunt can't stay in the dark room anymore, you see what they have become, so pitiful! ”

"Miss......" Before Xiaoqiao finished speaking, he had already arrived at the door of the study.

"Miss!" The two guards outside the door of the study were also taken aback when they saw Lan Lingxue, what is the eldest lady doing here? But they didn't dare to drive the eldest lady away, and bowed their heads and said, "Miss, this is not the place where you came, go back!" The head of the house has guests inside! ”

"Why do you have a guest, just now the housekeeper said that my father came by himself, you dare to fool me?" Lan Lingxue is usually very approachable, but today she deliberately brought out the eldest lady's shelf in order to save Lan Chunyu.

In the study, Lan Peng was inside with Chi Xin, hearing the movement outside, Lan Peng frowned, this girl usually doesn't know the importance of it, what's wrong today? He turned his head to look at Chi Xin, worried that Chi Xin would be angry.

Chi Xin had already heard Lan Lingxue's voice, smiled, and said, "It's okay, let her in!" It is estimated that the eldest lady should have something, and if she is fine, she should not come to disturb the Lan patriarch. ”

"Yes." When Lan Peng heard this, his brows furrowed, and Chi Xin was not angry. However, I had never heard of this young Chi patriarch talking so well.

"Let the eldest lady come in!" Lan Peng shouted outside the door.

When the guard heard Lan Peng's words, he opened the door and let Lan Lingxue in. Lan Lingxue didn't forget to thank the guard at the door when she entered, she naturally knew that not everyone could come to this study, but today she had to come for Lan Chunyu, and this guard only did his duty, and there was no fault.

As soon as I entered the study, I saw a young man sitting on the main seat in the middle of the study. It turned out that the father really had a guest.

bowed her head and saluted the two people in the study, and she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, father, I didn't know if you really had a guest, and my daughter retired first." ”

She has always been very sensible, she never relied on her father's favor to mess around, and today she will only break into the study when she is in a hurry. Lan Lingxue was about to turn around and leave after speaking, Chi Xin looked at Lan Lingxue's docile appearance, not as firm as before opening the door just now, and said: "The eldest lady must have something to do, why don't you finish talking about it before leaving!" Or am I not fit here? ”

"Mr. said that it was funny, Mr. didn't think Xue'er's matter was trivial, so Xue'er said it." Lan Lingxue saluted Chi Xin again, she looked at Chi Xin sitting on the main seat, thinking that his identity should be unusual, but he didn't look very old, so Lan Lingxue called Chi Xin Mr.

Then, Lan Lingxue turned to face Lan Peng and said, "Father, Sister Yu and Second Aunt are wronged, can you let them go, they are really pitiful there." ”

"Xue'er, let's talk about this later, if you have nothing else, go back first!" Lan Peng didn't want to talk about this matter in front of Chi Xin, after all, it was a family ugly.

"I think what the eldest lady said is reasonable, I have also heard about this, since the Lan Patriarch has found out that they don't know, why not punish the big admonition." Chi Xin opened his mouth to speak to Lan Lingxue, who is he, Chi Xin, so he doesn't know this little thing.

Lan Peng didn't expect Chi Xin to know so much about this matter, and he was immediately shocked, only a few people knew about this matter, how could he know so clearly. I didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of me. After Lan Peng found out the matter, he also knew that it was pointless to lock up the second aunt, mother and son, after all, the second aunt was so understanding, and he still liked it very much, but he didn't have time to deal with this matter yet.

"What the gentleman said is, since the gentleman thinks so too. Xue'er, you go and tell Lan Ping to release the second aunt, mother and son, and punish them for half a month as a warning. Lan Peng said to Lan Lingxue.

When Lan Lingxue heard this, she happily saluted Lan Peng, thanked her, turned around and ran out. As soon as he ran to the door of the study, he remembered that if it wasn't for the help of that young man, I am afraid that it would not have gone so well, so he turned around and came back, and saluted Chi Xin: "Thank you, sir!" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Chixin to answer, turned around and ran out again, Xiaoqiao stood at the door and watched Miss run out, and also ran to chase Miss.

Chi Xin looked at Lan Lingxue, who was still well-behaved and polite just now, but now she suddenly became lively and cute, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. Lan Peng saw his daughter leave, and turned his head to look at Chi Xin: "Sir, I'm really sorry, the little girl was spoiled by Lan, and the Chi patriarch is not to blame." ”

Before Lan Peng turned around, Chi Xin had already returned to his usual cold appearance, and he said lightly: "It's okay!" ”

Leaving the study, Lan Lingxue went to the dark room, Lan Ping followed behind, and said Lan Peng's words to the guards in the dark room, and the guards went to open the door of the dark room and let the second aunt, mother and son go out.

Looking at Lan Chunyu's appearance, Lan Lingxue's tears flowed: "Second aunt, Sister Yu, Brother Yang, you have suffered, let's go back quickly." Xiaoqiao, you go and tell the kitchen to boil water, and then let them bathe and change their clothes. ”

Kobashi answered and went to the kitchen.

sent them all to the second aunt's yard, ordered someone to serve, and Lan Lingxue went back to the snow garden.

After she left, Lan Chunyu looked at the door of the second aunt's courtyard and said disdainfully: "Be humble!" ”

The second aunt hurriedly covered Lan Chunyu's mouth, looked around and saw that only her henchmen were there, and then let go of her hand and said: "Yu'er, you have to calm down, before you get what you want, you must hide your true thoughts, and you must not let others find out." ”

"Yes, mother!" Lan Chunyu has become well-behaved and obedient again.

It has been a few days since the birthday banquet, and one afternoon, Lan Lingxue took a small bridge to walk in the garden, and heard a flute sound from behind the peach blossom forest, and Lan Lingxue couldn't help but want to get closer and listen carefully.

Crossing the peach blossom forest, Lan Lingxue followed the sound and saw a man in a crescent white brocade sitting with his back to him in the pavilion inside the peach blossom forest. Lan Lingxue raised her feet and wanted to get close to the pavilion, but was pulled by Xiaoqiao: "Miss, let's not go over, that person doesn't seem to be from our house, it's not good for you to be seen in the past like this." ”

Stopped, Lan Lingxue hesitated.

At this time, the sound of the man's flute was even more melodious, as if inviting people to pass. Lan Lingxue's eyes were certain, and she said to Xiaoqiao: "It's okay, this is in our house." If you can be here, the distinguished guest who should have been invited by my father, so I will come closer, but I will go there. ”

Raise your feet and walk forward, the closer you get to the flute, the more seductive it becomes, Lan Lingxue's mind is now immersed in the song, step by step closer and closer.

The flute player noticed that Lan Lingxue was approaching, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a satisfied smile, and the music he played became even more passionate.

Walking outside the pavilion, Lan Lingxue stopped and stood there listening quietly. After a while, the sound of the flute gradually stopped, and the man put down the flute in his hand and said, "Since the eldest lady is here, come and sit down!" ”

Hearing the voice, Lan Lingxue realized that she was already outside the pavilion, since the people had already made an invitation, Lan Lingxue did not twist, and walked up to the pavilion. Xiaoqiao watched from behind, so anxious, in front of the guests, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only follow Lan Lingxue closely.

When I walked to the stone table, I saw that the flute was played by the guest in my father's study yesterday, and I bowed.

"It turned out to be Mr., Cher bothered!"

"Miss is very polite, please take a seat!" Chi Xin looked up at Lan Lingxue, his eyes were warm.

Looking at Chi Xin's handsome face, with a pair of warm eyes, he was dressed in plain clothes, and he actually wore a fairy-like feeling. really responded to the sentence "Mo Shangren is like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world".

Seeing that there was not even a cup of tea on the stone table, he asked Xiaoqiao to prepare refreshments, but Xiaoqiao hesitated and stopped. Lan Lingxue naturally understood what Xiaoqiao meant, she didn't want Lan Lingxue and Chixin to be alone.

"Go ahead, my husband and I are fine here!" The implication is that the identity of the other person is there, and he will not do anything to me as a little girl.

When Xiaoqiao heard what Miss said, he could only turn around and prepare refreshments, but his pace sped up.

Sitting opposite Chi Xin, Lan Lingxue was a little restrained, after all, she was so big, and she had never been alone with a man outside the house.

Seeing Lan Lingxue's restraint, Chi Xin smiled gently: "The eldest lady is so restrained, is it because I look very scary?" ”

"Mr. said that it was funny, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone better than you in this world."

"Then the eldest lady doesn't have to be so restrained, I'm very easy to get along with." At this time, Chi Xin was indifferent when he was with the patriarchs again, he was obviously a warm big brother.

Seeing Chi Xin talking so well, his heart relaxed a lot, and then he asked, "I don't know what kind of tune Mr. played just now, why have I never heard it?" ”

"I played that tune casually by myself, and the eldest lady can also play the flute?"

"No, I just sound good." Lan Lingxue shook her head, although she said that she knew piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was not proficient, just like the jade flute that Mrs. Lan gave her, she couldn't play a song.

"Does the eldest lady want to learn? I remember that Old Madam Lan gave you that jade flute, I thought you would. Chi Xin asked directly.

"Speaking of which, the jade flute is still Mr.'s, Xue'er thank you, Mr. It's just that I never learned. Lan Lingxue listened to what Chi Xin said, and was very moved, but it was not good to directly say that she wanted to learn, after all, this was a man outside the house.

"If the eldest lady wants to learn, I can teach you. Anyway, I still have to disturb the house these days, so I should thank the Lan Patriarch for taking him in. Chi Xin didn't miss the joy that flashed in Lan Lingxue's eyes.

"Really? It's just that I have to ask my father first. Lan Lingxue's eyes darkened, I am afraid that my father will not agree.

"I'll go tell Patriarch Lan about this, and I believe Patriarch Lan will agree." Chi Xin naturally understood what Lan Lingxue was thinking.

When Xiaoqiao came back with refreshments, he saw that the two were chatting happily, Xiaoqiao wondered, how could the young lady still talk so happily with a man, was she deceived by the man's appearance? No, I have to tell Madame about this, so as not to ruin Miss's reputation at that time.

I have to say that Xiaoqiao really thinks too much, not to mention that Lan Lingxue looks docile and well-behaved, but she is actually very assertive. Let's just say that Chi Xin, as the patriarch of the Chi clan, how could he deceive Lan Lingxue as a little girl, and his suitors can be lined up outside the city from here. This time, I hid here to avoid someone's crazy pursuit, because I was bored and thought about teaching Lan Lingxue to play the flute.
