Chapter 66: Accompanying Shadows
Today's Xiao family, because of Liu Yaqing's arrival, is more lively.
The morning feast is abundant, with a variety of delicacies placed on a large red sandalwood table, and the delicious flavor of the dishes will whet the appetite of everyone.
"Yaqing, if you like any kind of dish, eat more, and if you don't have one to your liking, I'll tell you to make it for the canteen immediately. Old Man Xiao sat on the main seat, looked at Liu Yaqing, who was low-eyed and charming, with a smile on his face, and said softly.
When Liu Yaqing heard this, she bit her charming red lips lightly, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Lin, who was sitting indifferently opposite. Then he slowly got up and bowed to Old Man Xiao to show his respectful response.
"No need for a big gift, just sit down quickly and just sit down as if you were in your own home. "Old Man Xiao likes Liu Yaqing's beautiful temperament very much, even if she can't speak, it doesn't hurt.
Liu Yaqing tapped her chin lightly, and slowly sat down with a red lip.
There were only three people on the table, Xiao Lin, Old Man Xiao and Liu Yaqing, who were slightly cold. As for Xiao Sheng, as usual, he lived in the courtyard and did not come out, as if he was running away from something.
Soon, the breakfast banquet was over, Liu Yaqing gently wiped her red lips with a white pink handkerchief, and then bowed to Old Man Xiao, and also counted to Xiao Linli.
The more he looked at Liu Yaqing's behavior, the more satisfied Old Man Xiao was in his heart, and nodded secretly.
"Lin'er, wait a while to accompany Yaqing around the mansion and get acquainted with it. Old Man Xiao looked at Xiao Lin with a little meaning and chuckled.
Old Man Xiao's meaning is very clear, that is, let Xiao Lin cultivate a relationship with Liu Yaqing as soon as possible, and then hold an official wedding in advance. Old Man Xiao is afraid that he wants to hold his great-grandson, after all, there are too few direct blood relatives in the Xiao family, and he looks extremely cold.
"I see, Grandpa. Xiao Lin wanted to refuse, but when he looked at the unquestionable look in Old Man Xiao's eyes, and the graceful figure of Liu Yaqing who was silent on the side, he had no choice but to nod in response.
Then, Xiao Lin nodded lightly at Liu Yaqing and said, "Miss Liu, let's go out for a walk!"
Liu Yaqing smiled, staring at Xiao Lin with a pair of beautiful eyes, blinking slightly, and following Xiao Lin's back with light steps, not in a hurry or slow.
Looking at the backs of Xiao Lin and Liu Yaqing leaving the lobby, the smile on the corner of Old Man Xiao's mouth slowly solidified, and then changed back to a majestic appearance, which was terrifying.
Perhaps, only in front of his family, can Old Man Xiao slightly let go of the troubles and prestige in his heart, so that he can relax gently.
The Xiao family is a family of the generals of the Great Han Kingdom, covering a natural and vast area, and it will take some time to walk around the Xiao Mansion.
On a quiet green path, Xiao Lin and Liu Yaqing walked side by side, both of them were silent, just maintaining this subtle atmosphere and letting the breeze blow.
Walking forward, Xiao Lin looked around as if no one was around, as if he had merged with the breeze.
Liu Yaqing, on the other hand, was slightly half a step behind Xiao Lin, and Lianbu looked at the surrounding green bamboo forests and carved fence buildings. Occasionally, Liu Yaqing would secretly glance at Xiao Lin's side face with her spare eyes, wanting to see what kind of person her grandfather Liu Hanfeng praised was like.
The two of them were silent and walked slowly.
One person wears a purple robe, long hair is tied in a crown, and his hands are lightly burdened on his back, indifferently and elegantly, like a lonely sword without dust.
One person wears a pink and white long skirt, the waist is tied with a blue-green hanging veil, and the long hair flutters with the breeze like a waterfall.
For a long time, the two walked through the elegant and quiet paths, from the east wing courtyard of the Xiao family to the west wing courtyard.
"Miss Liu, when you arrive at the West Wing Courtyard, my son will not send you in, you are so rested, if there is something, you can order the maid at will. ”
The West Wing Courtyard is now Liu Yaqing's temporary residence, and Old Man Xiao has arranged dozens of maids to wait, intending to take care of Liu Yaqing's diet and daily life.
The two of them walked for so long, Xiao Lin smiled and nodded: "Miss Liu, if there is nothing else, this son will leave first." ”
Liu Yaqing's eyes flashed with fine light, she stared at Xiao Lin for a long time, her red lips gently pursed and nodded.
Then, Xiao Lin stopped staying, turned around and left the scope of the West Wing Courtyard, leaving a purple shirt and slender back.
Liu Yaqing stood under a green tree that covered the sky and the sun, quietly looking at Xiao Lin's back step by step, and muttered in the depths of her heart: "He seems to be completely different from the beginning." Now he looks so deep, and he doesn't look like a gentleman at all. ”
Looking at Xiao Lin's departing back, Liu Yaqing was a little fascinated, this was the first time she had stared at a person of the opposite sex for so long. Since childhood, no one has ever been able to make Liu Yaqing want to get to know each other well. Because, although she can't speak, her heart is like a mirror, and she can understand the sons of the family who chase her at a glance, without any waves.
However, the current Xiao Lin, the rumored first young master in the capital, actually made her have a strong desire to understand. That ethereal and uncatchable faint breath made her heart a little fascinated.
Before, Liu Yaqing also tried her best to resist the marriage of the two families, if it weren't for her grandfather Liu Hanfeng's sake, she would definitely not have stepped into the Xiao family. But at this moment, she suddenly found that Xiao Lin, who broke into the Liu family, was not so annoying, and even had a trace of indescribable emotions.
"What kind of person are you?" When Xiao Lin's back completely dissipated, Liu Yaqing slowly withdrew her eyes, her red lips couldn't help but grin slightly, and she muttered to herself in her heart.
Her smile is tender but charming, graceful but noble. The flowers blooming in the West Wing Courtyard also instantly looked dull and colorless under this smile.
.........
Leaving the West Wing Courtyard, Xiao Lin went straight back to the courtyard where he lived.
In the depths of the courtyard, Luo Qianyu was cleaning the fallen leaves like a small servant.
In order to prevent Luo Qianyu from exposing his cultivation and identity, Xiao Lin arranged for Luo Qianyu to only be able to walk around in his courtyard, and he could not perform his cultivation at will, so as not to attract the attention of Old Man Xiao and Xiao Sheng.
"Lord. Seeing that Xiao Lin was back, Luo Qianyu immediately put down the broom in his hand and said hoarsely.
"Qianyu, I have something for you to do. Xiao Lin's face was cold and grim, and he said directly.
"Command, Lord. Luo Qianyu bowed down and clenched his fists with extreme solemnity.
"Go out in hiding, take 50,000 taels of silver tickets to the elixir pavilion in the capital, and buy bone spirit grass, vein rock grass, and dust wood ......" Xiao Lin took out a stack of silver tickets from his chest bag and handed it to Luo Qianyu, and said solemnly: "Remember, don't expose yourself, understand?"
"Yes, Lord. Luo Qianyu took a stack of silver tickets and nodded solemnly.
Then, under Xiao Lin's gesture of waving his hand, Luo Qianyu disappeared like a ghost, and on the ground where he was standing just now, only a broom stained with a few dead leaves remained.
"It seems that we have to hurry, otherwise...... Anyone can bully my Xiao family. ”
Xiao Lin straightened his slender body, and his eyes were like swords approaching the top of the sky. The faint color that emanated from the body burst out, directly causing the void to tremble and freeze.
