The candle flame flickered, and the cold moon outside came in through the crack in the window and sprinkled on Xia Zhixue's arm placed on the table.

Lotus filled a cup of tea for her, her eyes inadvertently skimmed over her face, and she frowned: "Look, the girl is a little haggard than a few days ago." Seeing that the big wedding is coming, why is the girl's face getting worse and worse? It seems that she has to tell the small kitchen to stew more supplements these days.

Two fingers pinched the cup holder, Xia Zhixue took a shallow sip, and waved her hand disapprerovingly: "It's probably the weather these days, don't worry about it, don't think too much." This girl's temperament of listening to the wind and rain should be changed.

How can a slave or maid argue with his master? Lotus pressed everything she wanted to say in her heart, pursed her lips, and planned to eat in her heart.

Suddenly remembering something, Lotus walked to the cabinet, took out an invitation from it, and put it in front of Xia Zhixue: "This is sent by Miss Liu, saying that we girls are invited to come over to participate in the tea party in a few days, be sure." Two fingers tapped on the invitation.

The eyebrows on one side were slightly raised, and Xia Zhixue nodded: "Got it."

When the lotus flower went out to water the flowers, Xia Zhixue followed her prompt and quietly pulled out the invitation, and sure enough, there was a note mixed in it.

Chiyuki, please come by all means. I have something to ask for.

The shallot-like fingertips pinched the note and gently placed it on top of the candle flame, her eyes staring at it as it burned out little by little, and the dancing flames reflected in her eyes.

……

"The third sister is here." It was Shen Yun who greeted guests today, and Xia Zhixue saw him waving to her with a gentle face as soon as she got off the carriage.

Slowly walked over with the support of the lotus, Xia Zhixue said softly: "Brother looks good today."

"Isn't the third sister worried at home? I saw that this class had an ugly face. led her to Shen Liu's yard, and said as she walked: "Liu'er, this girl doesn't know what's going on, she suddenly wants to hold a tea party, and she didn't see her keen on these Laoshzi things before, so she provoked the third sister to run for nothing."

He smiled lightly and returned: "Brother is serious, Liu'er is always bored in the house."

A moment later, Shen Yun reflexively went to pick up the others.

"Liu'er." Knocking lightly on the door, Xia Zhixue leaned close to her ears and listened to the movement inside. The other ladies had been settled in other courtyards, and now only the two of them were left.

Hearing Xia Zhixue's voice, Shen Liu hurriedly opened the door. "Hurry up and open the door and let Zhixue in."

"What's going on?" As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Shen Liu still had tears on his face.

Shen Liu stood up with teary eyes and greeted him: "Zhixue, what should I do?"

The two sat down on the table, and Xiaolian took the lotus out to make tea for the two girls. said that it was to make tea, and it was obvious that there was already a pot of new tea on the table, but it was just an excuse for the two girls to talk about themselves.

"What the hell is going on?" Xia Zhixue frowned, she looked at Shen Yun's tone just now, no matter what Liu Er did on weekdays, he hadn't said anything wrong as an elder brother, and he didn't know what was wrong today, he always couldn't get used to 8 his sister.

Sighing, Shen Liu barely stabilized his heart: "Daddy, they have found a good family for me, and they will get married one day." 2018

"What?" Xia Zhixue was taken aback, why was it so sudden?

It stands to reason that Shen Liu is still young, why are parents so anxious? Isn't something wrong?

"The girls who grew up with me were all married, and my mother was afraid that others would rob her of her good husbands, so she was anxious for me." A helpless smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and Shen Liu looked out the window, with endless sadness in his eyes.

The shadows outside the window swayed, and a few wisps of breeze came in the cracks of the slightly open window, and Shen Liu shivered in vain.

Xia Zhixue sighed, of course she knew that Shen Liu's heart belonged. It's just that if this matter is exposed, Shen Liu's reputation is estimated to be ruined for the rest of his life.

The index finger lightly tapped on the table, Xia Zhixue looked at Shen Liu with her eyes, and asked, "You only tell me, if you have to do it, will you marry?"

Biting her lower lip, Shen Liu showed a helpless smile, but her eyes revealed a firmness that did not match her usual days: "Don't marry." She had already thought that if her mother and father really persecuted her, then she would have a showdown with them, and then even if she was beaten to death by her father and drowned by the world's spit, she didn't care.

What is the situation in the world? Xia Zhixue looked at her like this, her heart was happy and sad, and her throat seemed to be choked for a while, and she couldn't speak. She remembered what she had seen on the note, and put one hand on Shen Liu's soft twing: "What are you going to do next?"

Shen Liu is not the kind of person who will only cry to you, she must have a plan in her heart when she came to her today.

picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip gently, "Zhixue, you know, I'm just a woman, where can I make decisions for my life's events?" But I'm not reconciled, you know? I am not willing to let my whole life be arranged by my closest relatives, looking for you, I want you to do me a favor. ”

A quarter of an hour later, Xia Zhixue's eyes widened, and she shook her head again and again in horror: "Impossible, how is it possible?" Don't think about it, it's a bad idea, it's not feasible, trust me, okay? She shook her head as if she had heard something terrible.

Shen Liu grabbed her hand, looked at her firmly, and said, "Zhixue, where do I have any best strategies now?" In my case, that's the best way to go, you know? ”

But...... But if such a big thing as elopement spreads, the entire Heshunhou Mansion will become the laughing stock of the people in the capital, not to mention that Heshunhou is such a face-saving person, Shen Liu is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Hou Ye by doing this.

Xia Zhixue forced herself to calm down, there must be other ways, don't panic.

Shen Liu didn't allow her to think about it anymore, Xia Zhixue now knew, where did she ask her to discuss countermeasures, but she was just asking her to help, she thought about all the countermeasures, and didn't give herself a way out.

But he was still not at ease, grabbed Shen Liu's hand with one hand, and Xia Zhixue asked again: "Tell me, is this plan yours or yours...... Come up with it. Too much time has passed, and Shen Liu has been like this again, Xia Zhixue can't remember what the name of that person is for a while.

"This matter is completely my own idea, and it has nothing to do with him." The corners of Shen Liu's mouth hooked up a smile, as if every time she mentioned that person, the corners of her mouth always rose slightly, and even her tone was lighter than usual.

"Liu'er, you have to think about it, if this thing fails, you have to ...... Dip in the pig cage. Word by word, she reminded the girl in front of her that Xia Zhixue completely disagreed with her taking such a risk.

I didn't know that the person in front of me didn't shake at all, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened: "I know, Zhixue, I know everything, but...... Without him, I would rather live my life without adding people, and would rather be immersed in a pig cage. ”

Xia Zhixue seemed to see in her the shadow that Mingru had to marry Xia Chengdao, and she was speechless for a while.

The two were silent for a long time, and Xia Zhixue gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay, just do as you say." Are you ready, though? ”

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed."
