Originally, Xiang Zixi really didn't want to disturb others, but seeing that the rain was dripping, it didn't stop, so he had to follow Qingcui with a cheeky face and came to the ancestral house to avoid the rain.

No, the three of them took advantage of the rain to light a little, packed up their things, rushed to the door of the old mansion in Qingcui's mouth.

After a long night of talking, Xiang Zixi has learned that the owner of this ancestral house is surnamed Song, is a rich man, has a son under his knees, has been married, lives in the county seat, and rarely returns to the ancestral house.

Because something big and small happened at home, the young master and grandmother who lived in the county town sent their maid Qingcui to make a special trip back to the ancestral house to see what was going on.

So, just like that, the three of them drove the carriage that had been soaked in rain and finally arrived at the ancestral house of the Song family.

As soon as he entered the ancestral house of the Song family, Xiang Zixi instinctively felt that the hairs on his body stood on end, grabbed Ji Yan, and whispered, "Do you feel it?" How do I think this house is eerie, as if there is something unclean! ”

Ji Yan looked at her funny: "Are you scared in Songlin Town and haven't come back to your senses yet!" ”

"Cut! Dislike! People are serious with you! Xiang Zixi glanced at Ji Yan, walked a few steps quickly, followed Qingcui, and asked her in a low voice, "This mansion is a little old, right?" ”

Qingcui smiled and turned around and said, "Yes, this ancestral house is about a hundred years old!" It used to be the private residence of an official in the previous dynasty, and was later bought by the Song family to be used as an ancestral home. ”

Xiang Zixi turned his head and said to Ji Yan Nunu, that means to say, look? I'll just say, right? There must be something wrong with a hundred-year-old house!

The three of them just talked like this, twisted the water droplets on their bodies, and entered the gate of the ancestral house.

As soon as I entered the gate, a mother-in-law came over, opened her mouth and said, "Oh, the young master and the young grandmother really let you come!" Hey? These two are ————"

Ji Yan followed Zixi and nodded slightly at the woman: "Disturbed!" Can we take shelter from the rain? ”

Qingcui said to the mother-in-law enthusiastically: "Fortunately, I met these two on the road, otherwise I would have frozen to death outside!" Qingcui handed the basket in her hand to her mother-in-law, wiped a handful of water droplets on her face and said, "What about the old lady?" At home? ”

The mother-in-law sighed: "The master is at home, and the lady is so angry that she goes back to her parents' house!" Come in, I'll take you to the master!" ”

"Thank you!" Xiang Zixi politely thanked her mother-in-law.

The woman took three people and walked slowly along the corridor, turned a few zigzag corners, walked to a main hall, and gently buckled the door: "Master, Qingcui is back!" There are also two foreign guests who are going to stay! ”

"Come in!" An old voice rang out in the room.

The woman slowly pushed open the door, and Qingcui was the first to enter, and Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan also followed.

Although Xiang Zixi felt that this house was gloomy, but after entering, he found that the light was okay, although it was cloudy and raining, he could still see everything in the house clearly. It can be seen that the lighting of this room is still okay.

Xiang Zixi looked up and saw a thin man with gray hair and beard about fifty years old, sitting at the table pinching a teapot and drinking tea.

"Sir!" Qingcui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The young master and the young lady asked me to come back to see the old lady." ”

Master Song slowly put down the teapot in his hand and said slowly: "Don't they know how to come back and see?" No matter how bad the countryside is, it is also an ancestral home! ”

Xiang Zixi took a step forward and saluted at Master Song: "Master Song, I really took the liberty of disturbing it!" ”

That Master Song glanced at Xiang Zixi, then at Ji Yan, and said slowly: "Since you have come, let's stay!" The conditions in the countryside are poor, you don't feel wronged! ”

That Master Song is also sharp-eyed, and he can see through at a glance that Xiang Zixi is definitely not one of those little girls who have no knowledge in the countryside, although the clothes she wears look very simple, but the texture of the material will not lie.

"So, bother! When the rain stops, we'll leave! Xiang Zixi said with a smile.

"That's nothing, you can stay for a few days if you want, it's just, don't ask me about the Song family." Master Song glanced at Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan, and said to Qingcui, "You take them to change their clothes!" Even though it's April, it's still not warm, so be careful if you catch a cold! ”

"Yes!" Qingcui answered, dragged Xiang Zixi and left the room.

"Retire!" Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan saluted Master Song at the same time, turned around and left.

This Master Song is a bit yin and yang, just like the house here, it is strange.

Xiang Zixi thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, no matter what, she was begging others to live now, and she would pick and choose by herself, it would be too much to say.

Ji Yan's eyes were keenly swept around this old mansion, and soon, he also felt that the layout of this mansion was really a little strange. Normally, most of the house layouts we are familiar with are symmetrical, and they are basically square or square.

But this house is obviously asymmetrical, a little protruding here, a recessed piece there, giving people a very strange feeling.

Qingcui is a talkative person, and said as she walked: "My lord's temper is a little weird, don't you mind." However, our wife is still very good and very kind, because everyone is from the country, and there are not as many rules as people in the city. You see, when I was in the county seat, I wanted to call myself a slave, otherwise my young grandmother would be unhappy, but in the countryside, there were no such customs, and the lord and lady didn't care so much. ”

Listening to the verdant chatter, Xiang Zixi nodded with a smile while looking at the ancestral house, and couldn't help but admire: "This house is so big!" If it's in the county seat, it costs a lot of money! ”

Qingcui replied with a smile: "Actually, the ancestral house was not so big at the beginning, and then it was expanded almost every year, so it slowly became what it is now!" ”

"Young Master and Young Lady are not at home, are they also expanding?" Ji Yan finally opened his mouth rarely, and he frowned: "Isn't it a pity to build so many houses and no one lives in them?" ”

"Yes, but this is what the lord meant, none of us dare to disobey, right?" Qingcui sighed: "There are so many rooms, in fact, there are really few rooms, but the master still expands every year." ”

"What a strange Master Song!" Xiang Zixi smiled and said: "Maybe this is Master Song's hobby, he just likes to build a house!" ”

Talking and laughing, Qingcui took the two of them to a guest room that no one lived in, and said: "I'll go and bring the bed, quilt and mattress for the two of you, there are usually people cleaning here, so you can live in peace until the rain stops!" ”

Qingcui really brought a few quilts and mattresses after a while, and found a few dry clothes.

Because all of Xiang Zixi's clothes were soaked, he had to change into a white and green lotus dress that Qing Cui found. When she changed her clothes and came out of the screen, Qingcui and Ji Yan, who were standing outside, were stunned at the same time.

The outfit was surprisingly fitting, as if it were tailor-made. The white top, from light to dark green skirt, and lotus pink sleeves, perfectly set off her delicate figure.

A blue-green hairpin gently pulled her long hair to the side, and a strand of green silk hung down to her ear, indescribably charming.

Ji Yan looked at Xiang Zixi, who had changed his clothes, and blurted out: "The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost." The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side.

If you follow it, the road is long and obstructive. Swim from it, like in the middle of the water.

The leaves are desolate, and the white dew is not dawning. The so-called Yi people are in the water of the Mae.

Obey it, and the road is obstructed. Swim from it, just like in the water.

The leaves are picked, and the white dew is not over. The so-called Yi people are in the water.

Obey it, and the road is blocked and right. Swim from it, like being in the water. ”

Qingcui was also dumbfounded, and said, "Oh my God, I can't believe that this dress fits so well!" I thought it wouldn't be appropriate! But at home, only this dress is suitable for Miss Xiang. I didn't expect it to be so suitable! ”

Xiang Zixi said with an embarrassed face: "This dress belongs to your young lady, right?" Wearing other people's clothes always feels a little obedient! ”

"Ah no, it's not the young lady's." Qingcui seemed to remember something, and said in a panic: "I'm busy, you guys take a rest first, and I'll call you over for lunch in a while!" ”

Watching Qingcui leave in a panic, Xiang Zixi shrugged her shoulders at Ji Yan: "What's wrong with her suddenly?" ”

Ji Yan's gaze seemed to be glued to Xiang Zixi's body, and he couldn't move it away.

Xiang Zixi frowned and pushed Ji Yan: "Why are you still stunned?" Why don't you go and change your clothes? You're not afraid of the cold! ”

Ji Yan was pushed by Xiang Zixi, and then he came back to his senses, grabbed a set of dry clothes on the table, got behind the screen like waking up from a dream, and quickly changed the wet clothes on his body.

Ji Yan only felt that in his mind, the woman wearing the white lotus dress had been deeply fixed in his mind, the face like a hibiscus out of the water, and the strange eyes when he squinted at him, were deeply engraved in his heart.

quickly changed his clothes, rushed out of the screen, and just saw Xiang Zixi sitting in front of the window with her cheeks back, watching the raindrops outside fall on the leaves, making a click-click sound. Ji Yan walked quickly towards Xiang Zixi, suddenly grabbed her shoulder, let her eyes meet her, and blurted out: "Xiang Xiang, in fact, I, in fact, I ———— you"

Xiang Zixi looked up at Ji Yan in surprise, just let him grab his shoulder, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Ji Yan opened his mouth: "I...... I...... Joy ————"

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside: "Miss Xiang, Ji Gongzi, have you two changed your clothes?" ”

"Ah, okay, thank you!" Xiang Zixi replied casually, turning his head to look at Ji Yan with a curious expression: "What were you going to say to me just now?" ”
