said that after lunch, Yi Qi Wanxi and Yi Qi Mingyin chatted for a while and then left.

The sun is very warm, and the occasional breeze blows, but it is also mild.

Yi Qi Wanxi's second aunt Yi Qi Mingxian and her eldest aunt Yi Qi Mingyin's house are not very far away, but they are not close, although they are only a few streets away, it takes time to walk with a stick of incense.

Yi Qimingxian married in Chongqing, usually not in Shanghai, only Zhang Feng came to Shanghai, she would follow, even if it was a New Year's holiday, she would not return to Shanghai. Zhang Fengcai is Yi Qi Mingxian's husband, and the Zhang family is also a very prominent family in Chongqing. Zhang Fengcai loved Yi Qi Mingxian very much, and thought that Yi Qi Mingxian was homesick, so he also bought a house in Shanghai, and it was not far from Lin Mansion and Yi Qi Mansion.

Yi Qi Wanxi has been to Yi Qi Mingxian's house in Shanghai, the scale is not large, but it is also magnificent. It is said that Yi Qi Mingxian felt that no one lived in general, so he asked to buy a smaller house. But after all, it is a bungalow villa, and the garden and water pavilion are the same.

Yi Qi Mingxian's house is not difficult to find, and Yi Qi Wanxi quickly found it. As soon as he arrived at the door, someone greeted him and said with a smile: "You are the third miss, Mrs. Xing Mao is here to wait for the third miss." As he spoke, he turned around, stretched out his hand and said, "Third Miss, please inside." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't know the maid in front of her, but she thought that Yi Qi Mingxian would not live permanently in Shanghai, and she would not bring many people, she must be Yi Qi Mingxian's personal maid, so she didn't say anything and followed her in.

Yi Qi Wanxi was brought to the hall by Xing Mao, the room was luxuriously decorated, but it was empty, Yi Qi Wanxi sat on the sofa and asked suspiciously, "What about the second aunt?"

Xing Yun leaned over to pour tea for her, and replied with a smile: "Madame thought that the third lady would only come over when you were going to have dinner, so she went to the teahouse with a few wives, and she was afraid that you would come early, so she called me Hou at home."

Yi Qi sighed lightly and said with a light smile: "Second aunt still likes to play mahjong."

Apricot can't say anything, just smile.

Yi Qi Wanxi knew that Yi Qi Mingxian was a gambler, she went to the teahouse, and she would not come back until the evening. But it's still early, and it's hard to leave when I come, and I don't want to go to the teahouse to find my second aunt. After all, even if you go to the teahouse, it's not the same as sitting next to me and watching your second aunt play mahjong.

Yi Qi Wanxi doesn't know how to play cards, and she doesn't want to go to the teahouse, although she can sit and drink tea all the time, but it's too boring. So, Yi Qi Wanxi held the teacup, looked up at the apricot cocoon who was making tea for herself, and called her with a light smile: "Apricot cocoon?"

"Yes, Miss Three." Xing Mao raised her eyes to look at her, and lowered her eyes to make tea.

"Do you know how to play chess?"

Xing Mo was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "I don't know what kind of chess the third lady is talking about?"

When Yi Qi Wanxi heard this, she suddenly became interested, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "What kind of chess do you play?"

"Xing Mao only occasionally plays chess with the master, and nothing else." Xing Mo said, putting half a cup of tea in front of Yi Qi Wanxi.

"I wonder if you can enjoy your face and play a few games with me?"

Hearing this, Xing Mao was startled, and the hand holding the tea set shook obviously, but it quickly returned to normal, put down the tea set, got up, and said: "That Xing Mao is naturally respectful and not as obedient." As he spoke, he raised his hand upstairs and said to Yi Qi Wanxi, "Upstairs, please, Third Miss." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi put down the teacup, got up and walked past the table.

Yi Qi Wanxi thought that Zhang Fengcai must be a person who loves to play chess, otherwise he would not take a separate room to make a chess room. The adjoining lockers are full of different types of chess pieces, and there are three tables in the room, one of which is the chess table. The table was clean, with chess pieces neatly arranged, and a small table with teapots and cups next to the chairs next to the table.

"Third Miss, please be seated." Xing Mo said, pouring a cup of tea for Yi Qi Wanxi. After Yi Qi Wanxi sat down, Xing Mo put the teacup in front of Yi Qi Wanxi.

It was almost evening, Yi Qi Wanxi was also tired, and Xing Mo was going to cook, so she cleaned up the chess game and went downstairs. Yi Qi Wanxi also likes to cook, so she went to the kitchen with Xingmao. And Yi Qi Mingxian seemed to have pinched the time, and came back when the meal was just served, and it was already dark at that time.

Seeing Yi Qi Wanxi, who was serving the dishes, Yi Qi Mingxian put the delicate handbag on the sofa and walked to the restaurant, and asked Xing Mao: "Xing Mao, you ignorant person, how can you let the third lady do this!"

Xing Mao was busy with Yi Qi Mingxian and was about to admit her mistake, but Yi Qi Mingxian was pulled by Yi Qi Wanxi: "Second aunt, don't blame Xing Mao, it's my niece who wants to cook."

"You can also cook?" Yi Qi Mingxian's eyes were full of joy, staring at Yi Qi Wanxi, and his tone was surprised and happy.

Yi Qi smiled lightly and said, "Yes." As he spoke, he pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "These are all made by my niece, and the second aunt will taste them?" ”

Yi Qi Mingxian looked at the dishes on the table, and suddenly his appetite was open, and he was about to enter the table, when he heard the sound of the door opening, and a calm and smiling voice came in from the door: "It's so fragrant."

When the three of them heard this, they all turned their heads to look out the door, only to see a man approaching about ten or forty. The man was wearing a silver-gray suit and looked very gentle. A face that was not very familiar, Yi Qi Wanxi forgot to call it for a while. But it was Xing Mao who saluted slightly and said, "Master."

Before Zhang Fengcai could speak, Yi Qi Mingxian had already caught up, grabbed Zhang Fengcai's arm, moved in front of Yi Qi Wanxi, and said with a smile: "Master, you are back, come and see who is coming."

Zhang Fengcai was pulled by Yi Qi Mingxian and walked in front of Yi Qi Wanxi with a smile, looked Yi Qi Wanxi up and down, raised his hand and thought about what to say, but it was Yi Qi Wanxi who opened his mouth first: "Long time no see, second uncle."

"Wanxi!" Zhang Fengcai thought for a moment before he suddenly said. After looking at Yi Qi Wanxi carefully, he said to Yi Qi Mingxian in admiration: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I have grown into a big girl." As he spoke, he looked at Yi Qi Wanxi again and said with a smile, "Second Uncle can't recognize it." ”

Yi Qi smiled and didn't answer, Yi Qi Mingxian pulled Zhang Fengcai to look at the dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "Master, look, this is done by Wanxi."

Zhang Fengcai leaned over and sniffed, got up and said with a smile: "I smelled the fragrance at the door, and I was still wondering where the chef invited me to make it." As he spoke, he laughed twice and said, "I didn't expect it to be tactful." ”

Xing Mao on the side also boasted: "Master, the third lady not only does the food well, but also the chess skills are also very exquisite."

"Oh?" Zhang Fengcai looked at Xing Mo with interest and motioned for her to continue.

"This afternoon, Xing Mo and Miss San played chess all afternoon, and Xing Mo didn't win a game."

Zhang Fengcai raised his eyebrows and looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, and said, "I know Xingmo's chess skills, wow, I haven't won a game." It seems that Wanxi is a master. ”

"Wanxi is just lucky, and she took advantage of some loopholes." Yi Qi said modestly.

Zhang Fengcai loves chess, and he loves people who can play chess, so he naturally appreciates Yi Qi Wanxi very much, so he said: "Another day is free, Wanxi and the second uncle will learn from each other."

"Please also ask the second uncle to give advice." Yi Qi smiled lightly.

Yi Qi Mingxian didn't know how to move, but he was hungry and panicked, and he smelled the fragrance, so he changed the topic: "Let's eat first, otherwise the food will be cold later."

During the meal, there was a burst of laughter, so discordant.

The evening breeze blows through the garden, and the branches in the garden move slightly, showing the depression. The moon hung in the sky and was gradually obscured by the clouds.

After dinner, Yi Qi Wanxi was talking and laughing with Yi Qi Mingxian and Zhang Fengcai, and the people from Yi Qi Mansion came to pick up Yi Qi Wanxi. Yi Qi Mingxian and Zhang Fengcai did everything possible to keep it, but Yi Qi declined with a smile.

In the car, the maid said to Yi Qi Wanxi: "Third Miss, there is a guest in the house."

Yi Qi listened and didn't care. Yi Qi Mingzhi has a wide range of contacts, friends all over the world, it is normal for guests to come to the house, Yi Qi Wanxi has long been used to it, so he only said: "Go home quickly, Miss Ben is tired." When he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated.

The maid was also afraid of disturbing Yi Qiwanxi, so she stopped talking.

Back at Yiqi Mansion, Yi Qi Wanxi asked the maid to report her safety to Yi Qi Mingzhi and the Wang family and then went back to her house.

After a busy day, Ben was also tired, changed his clothes and wanted to go to bed, but when he sat in front of the mirror to take the earrings, he saw that there was an extra set of books on the table in front of the window, and he was sleepy for a moment, put down the earrings, got up busily, walked to the table, picked up the book on the table, and saw the words on the book cover by the light, but it was "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

"What do you want?" The boy's voice sounded in his head.

"I want to ......," the girl was silent for a moment, and replied in a laughing voice, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas!" I want a set of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". ”

Yi Qi Wanxi closed her eyes, rubbed her temples with her fingers, opened her eyes, sat down on the chair, and took out the book to look through.

The book turned page by page, and the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the temperature was once lower. Yi Qi Wanxi was thinly dressed, but she didn't feel cold.

Although Yi Qi Wanxi will have whatever she wants, and she has read a lot of books since she was a child, the books are all from her father Yi Qi Mingzhi, and Yi Qi Wanxi has always wanted a set of books of her own. I all know that Yi Qi Wanxi is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but she doesn't know that what she loves most is books, and what she wants the most is also books. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the gift she wanted from him. She never thought that after many years, he still remembered.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is Yi Qi Wanxi's favorite book, and Yi Qi Wanxi also secretly thought to herself that if someone gave her a set of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", it must be her bosom friend.

Her heart, she inadvertently told him, she didn't care, after all, she not only told him that she wanted "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", but everyone thought that Yiqi Mansion had its own "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and Yiqi Wanxi had also read "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and a set of books was worthless, so no one gave her them. But he took it to heart.

After reading a few books, the sky has turned white, Yi Qiwan closed the book, only to feel a little tired, stretched a lazy waist, and felt a little cold, got up, only felt weak limbs, I wanted to sleep, glanced at the sky, then changed clothes, and went to the study.

The study was very large, the light was turned on, and the room was bright for a while, Yi Qi Wanxi walked to the bookcase, found the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" on the bookcase, took it out and put it in his hand and opened it. Some of the pages are old, with memories of the past.

In the summer of that year, Yi Qi Wanxi was still young, so she took out the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" on the bookcase, and took it out to find Yi Qi Mingzhi. But Yi Qi Mingzhi was very busy, and he wanted to talk to people about important things, so he asked her to read it by herself, so Yi Qi Wanxi took the book and sat in the courtyard to read.

On that day, the lotus flowers in the pond bloomed just right. On that day, Wang's sister passed by Yiqi Mansion and came in to visit Wang. Because there was no greeting in advance, Yi Qi Wanxi didn't know, but Yi Qi Wanxi was disturbed when she was reading in the courtyard.

"One hundred and eighty miles to the west, it is said that the mountain of Taiqi, the water is out of the Yan, and the west flows into the quicksand. It's a Dowen ray ......" a nice voice came from overhead.

Yi Qi Wanxi followed the voice to read the words, the voice was gone, she also raised her head, but the person behind her sat next to her, with handsome eyebrows and smiles: "You are reading the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", right?"

The person in front of him was tall, dressed in a white suit and gentle, he looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and his fair face looked very handsome. Yi Qi Wanxi looked at the stranger in front of her, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "How do you know?"

He laughed twice and said, "I've read this book, so I know it."

"Who are you?" Yi Qi asked again, "Is it my father's guest?" ”

"Your father?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, still with a smile between his eyebrows, "I don't know what my sister's name is?" ”

"Wanxi, Yi Qi Wanxi." Yi Qi replied simply, looked at him, and waited for him to say his name.

When he heard this, his smile brightened, and he said, "It turned out to be Wanxi, I heard my mother mention you." When we first met, my name was Yin Zikai. Then he leaned his head closer to her and said softly, "But your cousin." ”

"Cousin?" Yi Qi was startled and asked suspiciously.

"yes." Yin Zikai sat up straight, looked into her eyes, and said, "My mother and your mother are sisters, aren't you and I cousins?" ”

"Your mother and my mother are sisters?" Yi Qi Wanxi frowned slightly, "Who is your mother?" ”

"My mother's surname is Wang, and my mother's father is your mother's father." Yin Zikai said, raising his eyebrows lightly.

Yi Qi looked at him, ignored him, and lowered his head to read.

Seeing that Yi Qi was ignoring herself, Yin Zikai hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "How old are you?"

"Ten and a half years old."

"How long is your birthday?"

Hearing this, Yi Qi looked up at him vigilantly, and after a long time, he spoke softly and said, "September 26."

"My birthday is also September, which is a full six years younger than me." Yin Zikai lifted his chin lightly at her, and said with a smile, "Come, call cousin." ”

Yi Qi snorted lightly and said, "I don't know you, who knows if you're lying to me."

When Yin Zikai heard this, he was silent at first, then laughed twice, put his hand on his knee, leaned over and asked her: "If it's your birthday, someone will give you a gift......

"Huh?" Yi Qi raised her eyes to look at him.

He looked into her eyes, but was silent for a long time before asking, "What do you want?"

"I want to ......" Yi Qi was silent for a moment, and replied with a smile, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas!" I want a set of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". ”

Yin Zikai flipped through the book in her hand and said with a smile: "Aren't you reading the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"? What else do you want to do in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The tone of asking is not asking, with a bit of a joke. Saying that, Yin Zikai got up and said, "I think I should go back, so I won't disturb you to read, and say goodbye." Without waiting for Yi Qi Wanxi to answer, he turned around and left.

Yi Qi Wanxi looked at his back as he left quickly, only to be joking, only pouted, and continued to look down at the book.

The sun was shining brightly that day, with a gentle breeze blowing through the pool, sparkling water, and lotus flowers swaying all over the pool.
