Chapter 20: Moonlit Night Lights
Xiao Jingyong's hand that was about to serve the tea bowl paused in the air, and the whole person was motionless as if he had been fixed, and Granny Dong was a little confused. She has served her son for so many years, and now she can't see through this teenager at all.
How did she know that Yu Yan had also said this in her previous life.
Xiao Jingyong slowly narrowed her eyes, and her voice seemed to sound in her ears, "...... Sister really, what are you making fun of me? Am I wrong? The ninth master is a celestial figure, handsome and beautiful, and I'm not blind and can't see! ”
At that time, in the fourth aunt's house, she was helping the fourth aunt check the accounts, and he went to find the fourth brother, and heard this at the door. His hand pushing the door was retracted, and although he was happy, if he went in at this time, wouldn't it make her shy?
Who knows, the maid at the door saluted him and shouted "Ninth Master", he heard an exclamation from the house "Oops", he hurriedly pushed the door, and saw her running away, covering her face with a handkerchief, and was blown away by the wind, she still didn't know it.
The ship sailed into the Chaotianmen Wharf, which is the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, where the ships from the south to the north stop, and the three religions and nine streams converge on the wharf.
The Xiao family's boat crossed the Zhu family's boat line and docked in front. Zhu Yuyi stood by the window, watching the Xiao family's boat staggered by, Xiao Jingyong stood on the railing, with his hands behind his back, standing tall and jade, and the scenery on the riverbank slid past him, setting off the people of Deyi like jade, like immortals.
Zhu Yuyi was stunned all of a sudden, she held her cheeks, and she didn't know what she thought, but her face turned red. She turned her head and asked Xiao Pong, "What am I going to wear tonight?" ”
Xiao Pang understood her thoughts, smiled, and glanced at Zhu Yuyan, "Don't worry, the slaves and maids are ready, and before leaving, the wife helped the girl prepare several sets of clothes, all of which are new materials and new styles this year, even if you arrive in the capital, you won't lose the girl's face." ”
"Where's the hair accessories?"
"It's all good!" Xiao Pang looked at the sun, it was almost over, so he urged her to go back and prepare, "After getting off the boat for a while, I went to the restaurant for dinner, and the boat over there came over and said that Xiao Gongzi had already booked a banquet, and I was afraid that I would have to come forward in person for a while!" ”
The boat docked, Zhu Yuyi took the lead to come out, and when she got to the deck, she saw Xiao Jingyong standing on the shore waiting, a person who looked like a guard was talking to him, and he was listening. This man seems to be the best scenery in the world no matter which angle you look at.
When Zhu Yuyan came out, what he saw was Zhu Yuyi's stupid appearance. She looked at Xiao Jingyong, and he was also looking at her, and before they could meet each other's eyes in mid-air, they each dodged.
Zhu Yuyan's heart was already uncontrollably surging with bursts of sadness, she hurriedly lowered her head, lifted the hem of her skirt, and got off the boat carefully, but she didn't see it, Xiao Jingyong's eyes locked on her, so nervous that her whole body was tense, ready to go, as long as she had a slight accident, he could step towards her in one step, and not let her have any mistakes.
When Zhu Yuyan came ashore, Xiao Jingyong breathed a sigh of relief. Getai was waiting for his instructions, and suddenly found that his master's attention was no longer here, he followed the master's gaze, the girl who got off the boat was graceful, he had never seen such a perfect girl, he seemed to understand something, he didn't dare to take another look, and hurriedly lowered his head.
"What did you say? Go on! Xiao Jingyong asked.
Getai hurriedly said, "In addition to our people, the subordinates saw that another team of people had also been arranged outside the courtyard, because the other party was not hostile, and the subordinates did not dare to act rashly. Under the instructions of the subordinates, how to deal with these people? ”
Xiao Jingyong invited Sister Zhu Yuyan to stay in his villa here tonight. If it weren't for this condition, he wouldn't have asked Sister Zhu Yuyan to get off the boat and stay overnight on the shore. He is a man, and he is also very impatient to take the boat these days, let alone a delicate woman like Yuyan. Although he knew that she was strong-willed, not afraid of hardship and tiredness, and had been wronged, but that was her business, and he still couldn't see her like this.
The more she could bear it, the more he couldn't bear it.
It's a terrible thing to get used to, and the worse the habit, the harder it is to break. In her previous life, she never took his distress and unbearability to heart, but he always couldn't change it.
Xiao Jingyong was a little distracted, when Zhu Yuyan walked to him, he came back to his senses, Yuyan saluted him, he forgot the difference between men and women, and habitually reached out to help, seeing Yuyan staring at his hand, he paused, hurriedly retracted, and cleared his throat, "No need to be polite!" He turned around and walked ahead.
His hands are distinctly jointed, his knuckles are slender, his fingers are rounded, and his nail shells are different from those of other men. Zhu Yuyan stared at it for a while, a little distracted, he took it back, Yuyan also calmed down, and walked behind him, his nose was a little sour. He takes good care of her, but it all stems from the fact that her sister is his fourth aunt, and they are relatives who are in the middle of the road.
Yuyi chased after him and stopped Xiao Jingyong, "Brother Xiao, you don't wait for me, you leave before I get off the boat!" ”
She twisted her waist slightly, the reason why she came down late was because of the change of clothes. None of the clothes her mother prepared for her were perfect, either they were bad or they were flawed, and she chose this set for a long time before she chose this one.
Xiao Jingyong glanced at her lightly, couldn't help but glance at the jacket on her body, hid her disgusted look, and said coldly, "I thought you would get off the boat with your sister." ”
"Sister, she didn't wait for me!"
"Young and old, how can you make your sister wait for you?"
Zhu Yuyi couldn't hear the disgust in these words, she only felt that Xiao Jingyong was willing to say a few more words to her, she was different in his eyes, and she pursed her lips and coquettishly, "My sister has always loved me, and she must be willing to wait for me, isn't it, second sister?" ”
Xiao Jingyong looked at her, she lowered her eyes, he couldn't see the look in her eyes, only saw the corners of her lips slightly hooked, revealing a faint, imperceptible smile, "Let's go, it's getting late!" ”
There are many people in the city, rubbing shoulders with each other, and the streets are brightly lit and lively.
The three of them merged into the flow of people, Xiao Jingyong paused, turned his head slightly sideways, and the corner of his eyes fell on Zhu Yuyan's body, waiting for her to step forward. Zhu Yuyan noticed it, her footsteps paused slightly, bit her lip lightly, and plucked up the courage to step forward.
Before she reached Xiao Jingyong's side, Zhu Yuyi had already grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side, "Second sister, there are so many people!" ”
Zhu Yuyi changed positions with her and walked next to Xiao Jingyong. Linglong and Hongdou stepped forward to protect Zhu Yuyan in the middle, and before and after, Han Luo and Zhuang Ju led people to separate her from the crowd. She saw Xiao Jingyong's hand hanging by her side slowly loosen up, and she couldn't help but think in her heart that she didn't need his protection, maybe he was also relaxed, right?
In her previous life, she hurt him too deeply, and owed him a lot, and if it were her, she would be afraid. No one wants to do it all over again.
