Chapter 9 The first encounter in the downtown area

Fang Mojiao couldn't put it down with the glass jade rabbit lantern, and Jian Yan saw that she looked like a little daughter, and her cold expression had a hint of warmth. Fang Mojiao turned her head and praised him, "Cousin Yan is so powerful at a young age, he will definitely have great achievements in the future." ”

Jian Yan shook his head, "My cousin praised it falsely, where is my knowledge comparable to that of my eldest brother and them, it's just that I read a few more books when I have nothing to do." ”

Fang Mojiao patronized and was happy, forgetting his situation. Since Aunt Du went crazy, Jian Yan has never gone to school again, but looking at his confident appearance in front of the lantern stall before, he doesn't look like a person who has abandoned his studies.

Jian Yan seemed to know what she was thinking, and explained: "My grandfather is a down-and-out talent who has tried and failed, and he left a lot of books before he died, and those books cover a wide range, and there are no men in the Du family, so my grandmother gave me those books." It is precisely because of this that he will not grow into an incompetent person who knows nothing. ”

Hearing this, Fang Mojiao couldn't help but feel sorry for this bitter cousin, and blurted out: "Why don't you go to the capital with us, the Liu family of the eldest sister is very famous, and when the time comes, please ask my eldest aunt to come forward and send you in to study." ”

Jian Yan, a scholar from the Liu family, had also heard that it was false to say that he was not impressed, but he still shook his head and refused. Fang Mojiao asked, "Is it because of Aunt Du?" ”

Jian Yan nodded, "I don't feel at ease to let my aunt stay alone in Jane's house, thank you cousin for your kindness, Jian Yan understands it." ”

When Fang Mojiao heard him say this, she was no longer reluctant.

Because of this episode, the two lost their relaxed mood before, and Jian Yan became even more taciturn on weekdays.

"Big brother, it's cousin Ji." As she walked, she suddenly heard Jian Yao's voice, Fang Mojiao looked up, and saw Brother Jian with Jian Yao and Jian Fei standing not far in front, and there was a young man in dark green brocade standing next to him.

Jian Yao happily waved with Fang Mojiao, and Fang Mojiao and Jian Yan walked over.

"Wow, the rabbit lantern in my cousin's hand is so beautiful." Jian Yao saw the glazed jade rabbit lamp in Fang Mojiao's hand at a glance.

Fang Mojiao smiled, "The one in your hand is also very good-looking, it matches your skirt today." ”

Jian Yao looked at the lantern in her hand, and then looked at the dress on her body, and felt that Fang Mojiao, her cousin, was quite discerning, and it was because the lantern and the skirt were similar in color that she begged her eldest brother to buy it.

"Cousin, who is this girl?" The young man on the side asked, shaking a folding fan.

Brother Jian reacted at this time, and hurriedly introduced: "Yun Zhi, this is the daughter of my third aunt's family, you follow me and call my cousin." After speaking, he said to Fang Moji: "This is Qi Yunzhi, my aunt and cousin, and my cousin can follow Yaoyao to call her cousin." ”

After the introduction, Qi Yunzhi arched his hand towards Fang Mo with a bright smile, "Hello cousin, cousin is polite." ”

Fang Mojiao stared at him, and shouted Qi Gongzi with a cold attitude. Qi Yunzhi smiled and paused, "Why does my cousin have to see me like this." ”

"Although they are all relatives, they should avoid suspicion after all, and Qi Gongzi should not call me cousin, just call my second girl." Fang Mojiao retorted directly.

Qi Yunzhi's face was a little unbearable, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Brother Jian hurriedly played a round, "It's not too early, let's go home." After speaking, he said to Qi Yunzhi: "Cousin Qi, go back quickly, the aunt of the province is worried." ”

Qi Yunzhi took advantage of the steps given by Brother Jian to go down, and after he left, Jian Yao asked a little unhappily, "Why is Cousin Qi so indifferent to Cousin Qi?" ”

Fang Mojiao glanced at her, "I don't know him, although there is a big cousin, a cousin Yan and two cousins, I shouldn't be too close to a foreign man." ”

"You're lying, you obviously don't like Cousin Qi." Jian Yao pointed at Jian Yan and said, "Why don't you avoid suspicion with him, I saw that you were quite close just now." ”

"Yaoyao." Brother Jian saw that his sister was getting more and more unspeakable, so he hurriedly stopped, "Don't mess around." ”

Jian Yao pouted unconvinced.

Fang Mojiao said seriously: "I have always treated my cousin Yan as my own brother, isn't it okay for my sister and brother to be closer in this world?" ”

After hearing her words, Jian Yan suddenly looked at her, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and no one noticed the disappointment that flashed on his face.

Brother Jian was afraid that Jian Yao would say something inappropriate again, so he hurriedly beckoned everyone back to Jian's mansion. At the gate of Jian's Mansion, they met Second Brother Jian and his party, Zheng Yu and Fang Moyu. Jian Fang and Jian Yun are not worthy of Fang Moyu's attention, what she cares about most is Fang Moyu.

I saw Fang Moyu's face dyed with a pale pink flush, holding a goldfish lantern in her hand, Zheng Yu was separated from her by a person, but the whole person was standing behind her as a protector. Fang Mojiao understood, it seemed that they got along quite happily.

When he retracted his gaze, he happened to see Jian Fang with a straight face, and his jealous gaze had been glued to Fang Moyu's face. Fang Moyu seemed to be aware of it, and the smile on her face faded a little.

Fang Mojiao stepped forward to hold her cousin and shield Jian Fang's gaze for her. Fang Moyu smiled and asked, "Have fun?" ”

Fang Mojiao nodded, and showed her the glazed jade rabbit lamp in her hand, "This is won by cousin Yan guessing the lantern riddle, the same as my zodiac." ”

After speaking, he looked at the goldfish lamp in Fang Moyu's hand, "Big sister, this should be given by Cousin Yu, right?" ”

Fang Moyu's face suddenly seemed to be burned by fire, and it was terrifyingly hot. Fang Mojiao knew that she had guessed right when she saw her expression, and leaned into her ear and whispered, "I'm sleeping with my big sister tonight, I want to hear the story of you and Cousin Yu." ”

Fang Moyu was ashamed and annoyed but there was nothing she could do, the sisters said goodbye to the others and returned to Liufang Courtyard, Fang Moyu asked Baixi to take her pillow to Fang Moyu's room, freshen up and get into Fang Moyu's bed.

The sisters have been close since childhood, and it is not uncommon for them to sleep in the same bed. Fang Mojiao put her arm around her cousin and asked, "Big sister, where did you go at night, why didn't you see you when you walked?" ”

Fang Moyu nodded her cousin's forehead and said, "Who told you to walk too slowly, and when we turned around, we found that the person was gone." ”

"I'm not trying to create a chance for you." Fang Mojiao muttered in a low voice, "Cousin Yu promised me that if the marriage between the two of you is completed, he will definitely give me a big gift." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Yu's thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared in front of Fang Moyu's eyes, and there was a hint of sweetness in his heart. She still remembers that when she was separated from her cousin, someone accidentally bumped into her, and just as she was about to fall, a pair of strong arms supported her to avoid making a fool of herself and getting hurt.

He has been protecting himself in the back, and there are no more accidents when the crowd is so crowded. They kept walking, passing by the lantern stalls, and just when her eyes were attracted by the goldfish lantern, he stepped forward to guess the lantern riddle.

Although I didn't guess it, I didn't feel embarrassed at all, and paid generously to buy it.

He is very honest, he won't be no, Fang Moyugen admires Zheng Yu's character who doesn't pretend to take care of a man's face, and he feels a little cute when he thinks about it.

Just as she was out of her mind, her cousin's voice came from her ears again, "Big sister, if Cousin Yu proposes to you, will you agree?" ”

Fang Moyu was stunned for a moment, if that person was Zheng Yu, she shouldn't object, right?

Fang Mojiao didn't hear the answer she wanted, and immediately understood, it seemed that the two of them hadn't really been open and honest yet, and it was time to find an opportunity for Zheng Yu to show her heart.

What she didn't know was that Zheng Yu was not sleepy at this time, and he was cheeky to walk with his sweetheart at night, originally planning to find a clean place to show her his heart. Who knew that there were too many people on the street, and I didn't find a chance until I returned to Jane's Mansion.

Regret and pity flipped back and forth in his heart, he jumped up from the bed with a carp, and played two sets of punches in a row before lying down.

On the second day, when I went to Mrs. Jane's place to say goodbye, Mrs. Jane, who was often absent from the house, was also there. Mrs. Jane didn't like to stay at home since she became a teacher, and often went out to play with a few like-minded old friends.

After Fang Mojiao came to Jane's house, she had only met her grandfather twice in total, and she didn't say a few words. Last night's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Mrs. Jian didn't attend, I didn't expect to see him today.

Perhaps because the children and grandchildren did not hide the surprise on their faces, Old Lady Jian touched her beard and said a little uncomfortably: "I rushed home the morning before yesterday, but who knew that the road was delayed before I didn't catch the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet." ”

Hearing this, Jian Yao asked curiously, "Did grandfather encounter anything interesting this time?" ”

Old Lady Jian nodded, "Yes, when I went to a village under the jurisdiction of Bozhou County with your Grandpa Wen, we encountered an unbelievable thing. ”
