In the Zhenguo Mansion, the Black Eagle was waiting for Situ Qianchen to put on his coat, and the clear jade pendant was carefully hung on his waist.

"Second master, there is something that Black Eagle doesn't know whether to say or not." Black Eagle glanced at Situ Qianchen, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and after thinking for a long time, he still spoke.

"Say whatever you want."

Black Eagle pondered for a moment before he got up and said, "Just now, the maid of the fourth princess came and wanted to see the second master, but her subordinates stopped her, and the maid handed a letter to her subordinates and asked them to pass it on to the second master. ”

Situ Qianchen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the unsigned envelope, he reached out and took it, and opened it in two or three clicks, the letter paper did not have some too many words, a line, just a few words.

See you in the lake pavilion, and you will pay off, Meng Xuekite.

Situ Qianchen's eyes were complicated, and he folded the letter paper with his hand: "When did that person send it?" ”

"An hour ago, I thought that the second master was going to the lamp to meet Miss Ling, so my subordinates didn't dare to take the liberty."

Situ Qianchen suddenly remembered that night, Meng Xueyuan's resolute eyes, he would rather continue to stay in the Four Princes' Mansion to suffer than accept his help, and his heart suddenly sank.

He tossed the letter aside in his hand, fiddled with his somewhat irregular cuffs, and said nothing.

Black Eagle secretly glanced at Situ Qianchen, he had been by Situ Qianchen's side for so many years, Situ Qianchen's temperament, he was most familiar with it, showing this expression, it seems that tonight, Situ Qianchen will not go to Meng Xueyuan's appointment.

"Black Eagle, you stay in the mansion and take good care of your brother." After Situ Qianchen instructed, he raised his legs and went out, but before he had gone far, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the courtyard.

Situ Qianchen frowned, which maid who didn't understand the rules dared to openly shout in the mansion?

Walking to the courtyard, I was greeted by a woman in a turquoise shirt, arguing with a few people.

Several subordinates saw Situ Qianchen standing on the verandah with his hands in his hands, and all of them looked shocked, and they put down their hands to block the woman, and their heads shouted in unison: "Second master"

Situ Qianchen only felt that this woman was a little familiar, but she didn't seem to be the maid of Zhenguo Mansion, his eyes were deep, and his voice became more and more gloomy: "Who are you?" How dare you mess around in the town mansion? ”

As soon as the woman saw Situ Qianchen, she immediately knelt down, and before she could speak, Black Eagle hurriedly came, and recognized the person kneeling on the ground at a glance, and he said sharply: "You girl, haven't I already helped you hand over the letterhead to the second master?" Why didn't you leave quickly, but instead went to the house to make a fuss? ”

It turned out that she was the maid beside Meng Xueyuan, named Ying Tao.

"General Zhaoyi, Ying Tao, please go and meet my princess quickly." Ying Tao knocked her head several times in a row, and her forehead was a little blue.

Situ Qianchen looked away, and replied in a cold voice: "I have something to do tonight, I'm afraid I can't go, you go back and tell the fourth princess, let her go back to the house and have a good rest." ”

After that, Situ Qianchen stepped down the steps and was about to walk towards the gate of the mansion, but Na Yingtao hurriedly moved his body and blocked Situ Qianchen's way.

"You girl, you are so ignorant, didn't you hear that the second master was in trouble? Don't get out of the way yet! "Black Hawk is already angry.

Ying Tao also fought hard for Meng Xueyuan, so she simply grabbed the corner of Situ Qianchen's clothes, and said pitifully: "General Zhaoyi, my young lady is sincere to you, what she said at yesterday's dinner was just a momentary angry talk, Miss has already regretted it, she is waiting for you in Huxin Pavilion now, I just hope you can go, Miss is really ...... I really have something to tell you. ”

Situ Qianchen's cold eyes turned slightly, without any warmth: "The matter has come to this point, no matter how much you say, it is useless." ”

"General, general, the crime suffered by Miss in the Four Princes' Mansion, Ying Tao sees it in her eyes, Miss is already unbearable, if you don't see Miss General, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid that the young lady really has nothing to love in this world. ”

Situ Qianchen paused, and for some reason suddenly remembered in his mind that last night, Ling Jiantong pulled hooks with him, that smile was innocent and sunny......

He agreed, and promised to accompany her to see the lantern festival.

"General, you can meet Miss, Miss said, I promise it will be the last time."

Situ Qianchen closed his eyes slightly, and ......

"Get up and take me with you." He was finally relieved.

"Second Master, Miss Keling's ......," Black Eagle prompted.

Situ Qianchen lowered his eyes, they were scheduled to be in the evening, and there was still some time, so it should be too late.

When night fell, the eyes of the people illuminated by the dazzling lanterns in the market were dizzy, and Ling Jiantong leaned under the stone archway of the East Market, and his feet were sore.

"Gollum"

Ling Jiantong rubbed her hungry stomach, in order to be able to wear this dress, she was hungry for a whole day, just to see the effect at night, but now, what about the people who should have appreciated this dress?

Obviously said that it was evening, it was a big night, and seeing the men and women walking in front of him, Ling Jiantong only had envy and jealousy.

She lowered her head, stuck out her tongue and licked her lips that were a little dry, hungry, if Situ Qianchen didn't come again, she would really faint on this bustling street.

The nose moved slightly, and suddenly a burst of aroma wafted in......

Hey, it looks like the smell of meat buns......

It's good that I didn't smell it, but this smell of meat, my stomach is like a sleepy beast that has woken up, and it makes me even happier.

She raised her eyes, wanting to see where the buns were spread, but as soon as she looked up, she saw two huge buns appearing in front of her, steaming hot, and she had an appetite when she looked at it.

Ling Jiantong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and subconsciously stretched out his paw to take it, but why did this bun grow legs?

A pair of hands fluttered into the air like this, and just when Ling Jiantong rolled up his sleeves and was about to take it down in one go, he found that a white figure was already standing in front of him at some point.

With a handsome face as jade, a pair of smiling black jade, staring at Ling Jiantong, who was a starving ghost.

Ling Jiantong was stunned for a moment, then almost jumped up, and shouted, "Mu Jinghong, why are you here?" ”

Mu Jinghong held a mouth-watering bun in one hand, and a folding fan in the other, shaking it for a while, and his voice was lazy: "It's rare for the capital to have such a big lantern festival, and if you're idle, you might as well come out and play, maybe you can meet acquaintances." ”

Ling Jiantong glanced at him, who knows if this guy has his mouth closed, and he is telling the truth or a lie.

Anyway, eat his buns first.

Ling Jiantong took advantage of Mu Jinghong's inattention, and as soon as he took advantage of the situation, he snatched the bun in his palm, opened his mouth and bit it, this is still mushroom meat filling, it is really delicious.

Ling Jiantong wore such an elegant skirt that set off her temperament, but she looked like a beggar who hadn't seen meat for many years, and passers-by couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

"Eyes, can you pay attention to your eating appearance, this is on the street, can you not lose the face of the town government." Mu Jinghong was embarrassed, so he hurriedly covered his side face with a fan and reminded in a low voice.

Ling Jiantong glanced at him, full of resentment: "Don't mention any Zhenguo Mansion, let me ask you, has your second brother ever been unpunctual when he didn't abide by the agreement before?" ”

Mu Jinghong thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

Ling Jiantong sighed dissatisfiedly, the speed of biting the bun slowed down a lot, and muttered in his mouth: "Obviously said that you will accompany me to the Lantern Festival this evening, it's all night, and it hasn't appeared yet, so it's obviously just releasing my pigeons." ”

Mu Jinghong straightened up, and already understood in his heart, Situ Qianchen had never broken his word, as long as he promised someone else's things, he would definitely do it, but how could he ...... this time

Could it be that there is something temporary and delayed?

He simply folded the paper fan, took Ling Jiantong's hand by the way, and said with a smile: "The second brother has something to do temporarily, and he can't come, so don't you just order me to let me accompany you first, don't you worry, the second brother will come to accompany you to the Lantern Festival immediately after handling the business at hand." ”

"Really?" Ling Jiantong was a little suspicious.

"Really." Mu Jinghong's eyes were extremely sincere, and Ling Jiantong was stunned for a while.

Ling Jiantong is a good person, Mu Jinghong was afraid that she would find any flaws, so he quickly changed the topic, stretched out his hand and pointed not far away and said: "Eyes, look, how lively it is over there, let's go over there and have a look, maybe there is something fun." ”

"Huh? Where......" Before Ling Jiantong could see it, he was dragged by Mu Jinghong into the crowd.

Mu Jinghong is very good at playing this kind of thing, he took Ling Jiantong, and after a while, he played all the things in the lantern fair, Ling Jiantong was happy, and the grievances and boredom in his heart disappeared together.

Before they knew it, they walked to the Yuelao Temple together.

Men and women who come and go inevitably want to go to this temple to make a hexagram, begging for marriage, Ling Jiantong didn't believe this, but Mu Jinghong had to pull her in, she could only bite the bullet and sit in front of a Taoist aunt who looked very kind.

The Taoist aunt handed the sign to Ling Jiantong, Ling Jiantong didn't want to take it, originally, she didn't believe in Jesus, didn't believe in Buddha, and didn't believe in the so-called fate, this kind of fortune telling for self-comfort was really not suitable for her.

"Mu Jinghong, I think I'd better forget it, you said that what was drawn out was a good sign, then everyone was happy, if it was a draw, then I wouldn't just have a layer of depression, why bother myself, I think I'm not counting."

"Don't" Mu Jinghong pressed Ling Jiantong's shoulder and let her sit back on the stool: "This month, the old temple is very spiritual, don't you want to calculate, do you have any fate with the second brother?" ”

Saying this, Ling Jiantong was still a little tempted.

She pondered for a while, but finally took the stick, and shook it for a long time before a stick fell off.

The Dao Gu picked up the stick, looked at the sign slightly, and didn't say anything, just sighed softly.
