The sky is getting dark, and on the cold moon of the lunar month, there are few pedestrians on the night market street.

The Dingguo Mansion is full of lights, full of friends, and very lively.

Dingguo Gong's birthday, the Zhang family naturally came.

Zhang Qiuchi came to the door with Zhang Luan to celebrate his birthday, and happened to be at the same table with Xie Qian.

On the side of the table, it was Xu Yongning and a group of powerful people in Beijing.

Zhu Xizhou was taken to sit next to Xu Yongning, among the children of the powerful who spoke fiery, he was too quiet and self-controlled, he showed a bit of arrogance, but more of a person was out of place.

Seeing him like this, the sons and daughters of the powerful only occasionally politely greeted him, and when they saw that he had no intention of saying more, they didn't say anything to him.

Only when everyone raised their glasses, he also ate a glass of wine.

Among these children, there are many people who have a very good amount of alcohol, and they are not enough to eat at their own table, so they go to Xie Qian's table to toast and talk.

Celebrating life is all about liveliness, and there is nothing wrong with this move.

But Zhu Xizhou looked at the children who stepped forward to toast Xie Qian and the others, but his eyes flashed with disdain and contempt.

However, my heart was inexplicably bored.

"Brother Xian, do you want to go up and talk too...... Xu Yongning said with a smile.

Zhu Xizhou picked up a glass of wine and ate it, and said, "No need." ”

Xu Yongning smiled wryly.

Sometimes he really can't figure out the character of this Zhu Xian brother, and he can't tell whether he is arrogant or introverted, or he can't wipe out his face.

In short, it's quite slimy, and it's not easy to get along with.

But the two families have a relationship, and if they should help and remind, he will still listen to his grandfather's explanation and pull a few more hands from each other.

The banquet was coming to an end, and the boys and brothers couldn't sit still, some of them quit early and went home, and a few took advantage of the wine to take Xu Yongning to the garden to watch the cranes.

Seeing that the group was laughing and walking away, Zhu Xizhou, who realized that no one had called him to go with him, felt ignored and isolated, and took another sip of wine.

At this time, he saw Xie Qian leave the table alone.

Zhu Xizhou's eyes subconsciously followed Xie Qian out of the hall, but he saw a maid waiting for him outside the hall, and the two didn't know what to say in a low voice, so they saw Xie Qian follow the maid down the stone steps and leave.

It seems to be the maid next to Miss Xu......

Zhu Xizhou twisted his eyebrows tightly, drank two glasses of wine in a row, and grabbed the wine jug to pour the wine.

But the flask was empty.

When a servant standing not far away saw this scene, his eyes moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward to serve a jade pot full of wine.

Xie Qian followed Aunt Lian through the two moon gates and saw Xu Wanxi waiting in a pavilion next to the rockery.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Xie Qian stepped into the pavilion, and with the orange light emitted by the lanterns hanging on the corner of the pavilion, he smiled at the girl wrapped in a light red cloak, and said, "Wait in this windy place on all sides, and you can figure it out." ”

"People come and go in other places...... Although I call you Uncle Xie Shi, I still don't want to be criticized. ”

"Do you still want to criticize this now?" Xie Qian seemed to have eaten a lot of wine, and leaned on the pavilion pillar casually at this time.

"......" Xu Wanxi stumbled for a moment before she said, "It's just that it's too noisy ahead, and I want to talk to you...... By the way, I heard that you've been talking about marriage lately? ”

Now that she was sure of her intentions, she wanted to ask him too.

"There's such a thing." Xie Qian looked at her and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you so concerned about my relatives?" ”

Xu Wanxi's face flushed, and she secretly clenched her fingers: "Ask ...... casually"

Facing his fox-like shrewd and cunning eyes, she didn't know what to say or how to ask, and even regretted calling him out in a little hopelessness.

"The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, and when the moon is empty, I was asked to come here to ask about family affairs, but I said that it was a casual ......."

Xie Qian smiled, glanced at the crescent moon outside the pavilion, and then retracted his gaze to look at the girl in the pavilion who was more pleasing than the moonlight, and his eyes were full of smiles: "Does Miss Xu want Xie to pretend to be stupid?" ”

Xu Wanxi's heart almost jumped out when she heard this.

Facing the pair of eyes with an unknown smile, she was flustered to the extreme, and did something extremely useless in a daze.

She ran away.

"......" looked at the back of the girl who fled in the wilderness, Xie Qian was stunned for a while.

This girl's own words are almost complete, leave him and run away, what does this mean?

Before he could say anything—

Xie Qian came back to his senses and laughed silently.

Although I didn't have time to say it, I was not in a hurry to do so.

Stepping out of the pavilion, Lord Xie returned to the birthday banquet in a very good mood.

At this time, it happened that a servant helped Zhu Xizhou, who seemed to be drunk, to descend the stone steps.

Xie Qian's brows moved slightly.

This Zhu Gongzi is actually drunk, which is rare.

Xu Wanxi regretted it after running away.

Since he saw through her mind, why didn't she just take the opportunity to ask him directly?

Miss Xu Er gritted her teeth and ran back again.

Aunt Lian followed behind in confusion - didn't the girl fall into evil?

Xu Wanxi looked at the empty pavilion and looked at the night sky dejectedly.

When I walked back, I looked a little wilted, and when I passed through the garden, I found a gazebo and sat down.

"Girl, it's windy here, let's go back first."

"You go back first, I want to be alone and quiet."

She had to ask herself where the momentum that no one was afraid of in Su Ri had gone-

Aunt Lian sighed helplessly.

"Then sit down for a while, and the slave will go back and fetch you a fox fur."

Xu Wanxi let out an absent-minded "um".

Not long after Aunt Lian left, a little maid came to the pavilion, blessed Xu Wanxi, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the second girl is here, and the slave maid can be called to find it for a while. ”

Xu Wanxi looked at her: "Are you looking for me?" ”

"It was the second son who asked the slave maid to come to find the second girl, saying that he had a good thing and wanted to show the second girl."

"Second brother?" Xu Wanxi's eyes moved.

The second brother said a few days ago that he would ask Gongzi Quan, who would come to the banquet today, for a set of beautiful glass cups for her-

She didn't have much interest in looking at it at this time, but she still stood up when she thought that this set of cups was what she planned to give to Zhen Zhen.

The glass cup was fragile and tight, and the second brother ate the wine, so don't break it for her again.

"The second son will be on the side of the Crane Tower, and the slave will accompany the second girl."

Xu Wanxi nodded.

The crane tower is in the west corner of this garden, and there are several white cranes in the pond next to it.

Xu Wanxi listened to the laughter of the teenagers from a distance, and out of suspicion, she stopped in front of the Crane Tower, and only sent the maid to call Xu Yongning.

The maid turned back after a while, and said with a smile: "The second son said to let the second girl go to the building to wait for a while, and he has already put the things in the West Warm Pavilion in the building." ”

Xu Wanxi entered the Crane Tower and walked towards the West Warm Pavilion.

Bian said: "I took the things and went back, you tell the second son, I won't wait for him to speak today-"

She was originally here for something, and it was just right for her to see that the second brother didn't have to listen to him talk nonsense.

The maid answered softly with a "yes", walked in front and pushed open the door of the warm pavilion.

Xu Wanxi frowned suddenly.
