Chapter 44: The Season of Falling Flowers (2)

After Sister Ying left the Qin Mansion, I sat alone on the swing in the backyard of Xiyuan, swinging with a lot of sorrow

Regardless of Dugu Hao's character, the two of them can indeed be called talented and good-looking, if there is no ancestral training that the two families cannot marry, maybe it is really a beautiful marriage, can their happiness and the interests of the family not coexist

Kidnapping marriage with interests The children of the family are still like this Then what about me Will my father use my marriage as a bargaining chip for the stability of Qinzhou Li Sanlang is a hermit with a thin background Can my father agree that I am with him If I introduce Li Sanlang to my father, will it hurt him

There are too many things piled up in my mind I can't figure it out I am still worried about Sister Ying Now even my own business is enough for me to be upset My liking for Li Saburo I feel as sweet as drinking peach blossom wine Ethereal and uncatchable But Sister Ying is sad and resentful for the god of love It turns out that liking someone is both sweet and sad

The spring breeze is blowing with the fragrance of flowers, but the swing is not moving, I turned around, Qi Ao rarely changed into a dark blue robe, stood behind me, and looked at me with a puzzled expression

He's always liked black, deep and cold, and rejected people thousands of miles away, but now it's a little softer, and then I remembered that I hadn't seen him for nearly half a month: "Why are you here?"

As soon as the words came out, I regretted it a little As if I didn't want to see him, he really misunderstood The low voice condensed: "Tonight is Dugu's birthday, I naturally asked the eldest lady to take a sedan chair to Dugu's mansion."

The Dugu family has mastered the most well-informed and secret news in the world, and there is no shortage of strange people and strange people who have made friends, and every year they can earn a lot of money just by providing valuable information It is precisely because of the most extensive news network in the world that the Dugu family has a solid family background and has been invincible for a long time, and then Qinzhou can be independent in Kyushu and will not be annexed by other countries

And the Murong family, which is as famous as Dugu, is especially good at making weapons, and it became famous all over the world in its early years The monarchs of all countries are proud to have weapons created by the Murong family A country's soldiers go to battle on the battlefield If these weapons are matched, it is tantamount to adding wings to the tiger It can be described as a tiger and wolf army Invincible and invincible Although Qinzhou does not wage war on all sides, it has the power to make all countries fearful

In the final analysis, the Qin family and the two great families share the same weal and woe

This is also the reason why Sister Ying and Dugu Hao have played with me since they were children There are many heirs of the two great families Only the heirs who are most valued by the elders in the clan are qualified to be my playmates The relationship between the three of us is both delicate and strong Even if we quarrel, we will definitely shake hands and make peace Because we have long been in the same boat We are companions and allies, and no one can do without anyone

I used to rarely think about this, subconsciously refusing to mix family interests with pure friendship, but now it seems that I am the only one who I don't want to understand, at least Dugu Hao and Sister Ying's way of dealing with it is much more positive than mine, and the prosperity and disgrace of the family have been integrated into their blood and bones

I tilted my head and hesitated, "Do you have to go?"

"The master will go because he is the lord of a city in Qinzhou, he should take his responsibility, and you will take over the position of the city lord sooner or later, and you have to go."

"Well, "I'm my father's daughter, born to enjoy the wealth of the sky, and I'm destined to pay more for this superior status

Selfishly, I envy those hermits who are beyond the world If I can choose, I really want to go with Li Sanlang to go through the mountains and rivers of the world, see every wonderful scenery, and sway unruly in the red world, This is just an unrealistic dream

"You seem to have something on your mind lately," Qi Ao suddenly asked me

"I've seen you a few times, you're either in a daze or out of your mind, you look like you're preoccupied, if you can't open your mouth to the master, maybe I can help you."

We have been together for so many years, he still cares about me, but if I want to tell him the things I like about Li Sanlang, I can't do it, this is the secret I hide in my heart, and I can't open my mouth to Sister Ying's distress With his friendship with Dugu Hao, he knows that Dugu Hao also knows that I am a mediocre person

"It's nothing, you wait for me in Xiyuan for a while, I'll change my clothes and set off."

I jumped off the swing and ran back to the bedroom, and I couldn't explain it, so it was better to go than to deceive him

Dugu Hao's birthday is grand and extraordinary, not inferior to me, he has always acted flamboyantly, and he is used to suppressing other competitors in the clan in this gentle way, and he is in the limelight alone, but Dugu Shibo and his father appreciate his actions very much, and think that he, as a child of a family who is expected by everyone, should have this kind of confidence and courage

I'm not the protagonist of today, I can't be too presumptuous Not to mention the place where my father is There My identity is there It is already in the spotlight So I only picked a plain cut green gauze skirt Walking next to Qi Ao Looking petite and pretty Walking outside the gate Qi Ao took the initiative to open the curtain of the soft sedan chair for me After I sat down steadily, he sat in the soft sedan chair in front of me This time has passed Most of the guests have already sat down There is no need to greet people too much His arrangement is very much to my liking

When it came to the dinner party at Dugu's house, I regretted that my intestines were green I suspected that Qi Ao had the interest to be a mandarin duck in the old man I couldn't help but glance at him fiercely with my eyes

From Qin Mansion to Dugu Mansion in less than half an hour, Dugu Hao will not be able to "have a heart" with me, and Qi Ao must have helped him behind his back

I just don't want to be too eye-catching to dress like this Dugu Hao, who has always liked white clothes, is so immortal tonight that he is wearing a soft robe of azure color What is even more speechless is that the color of his clothes matches the one on my body Coincidentally, I glanced at it There was no one else in the audience wearing a similar color I was put together by Dugu Hao and Qi Ao

What's even more depressing than this is that I entered the banquet late Dugu Hao stood in the banquet without smiling in front of everyone, pretending to be waiting for me for a long time In the eyes of outsiders, he has the style of a gentleman He showed infatuation with me who was late The inexplicable tacit understanding between the two can be called a finale

Among the guests, I heard someone whispering about my relationship with Dugu Hao, speculating if my father and Dugu Shibo had promised our marriage I also noticed the not very good-looking look on Sister Ying's face Her pink skirt was clearly and delicate, but because of this farce, it was ignored by most people

The hateful Dugu Hao actually dared to use me to embellish his reputation We are big in this beam

He was "kind" to lead me to sit down and teased in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Qin Xi, I didn't expect you and Ben Gongzi to have such a tacit understanding I have the upper hand in this game I want to see how you are going to see how you are going to make a move In this situation, it is not impossible for Qin Shibo to marry you to me."

He smiled gracefully and decently I guessed correctly He carefully arranged this good show He is really a great wonder in Qinzhou City This kind of serious occasion does not forget the infighting between us Convinced him I am kind enough to let him go for the sake of his birthday He fell inch by inch

So I tried my best to be bitter and mean: "Dugu Hao, I said a long time ago that you died in this heart I won't take a fancy to you if all the men in the world are dead It is even more impossible for me to marry you Instead of a toad wanting to eat swan meat, you might as well pay more attention to the people around you Don't try to get something that doesn't belong to you "

This is the second time I've hit him bluntly All in all, and in short, I don't want to marry a villain like Dugu Hao If I marry him, I might as well lose my hair and become a nun Escape into the empty door With his amorous feelings, I can't keep marrying him within a few days, and he will get a bunch of women to go home as concubines, which makes me uncomfortable

His face was a little ugly, and then he smiled charmingly: "You are not married, I am not married, and there is no second man in Qinzhou City who is more worthy of you than me Qin Shibo's appreciation for me is beyond words, and your Qin family wants to win over the whole Dugu clan If you don't marry me, who can you marry Those brothers of mine have mediocre qualifications, and they don't have this qualification to compete with me at all."

I sneered and simply cut off his thoughts: "If you really want me to marry you, I will kill myself, and you will marry a corpse."

He didn't expect me to say it in such a trance: "You really would rather die than marry me."

He seemed to ask me and seemed to ask himself, I didn't bother to talk to him anymore, I simply turned my head to look away, he stayed for a while, and then walked away, sat back in his seat, and resumed his original carelessness, and I was distracted by him, and many of the guests were stunned, and there was only a cold look on their faces

Dad sat on my right hand seat and asked me why I was unhappy I only shirked and ate the cold soup A little uncomfortable I wondered why Dad didn't express his attitude towards Dugu Hao's nonsense Instead, he looked like he was sitting and watching a good show I don't like Dugu Hao very much Dad doesn't know yet

Dugu Shibo took the lead in raising his glass and thanked the guests who went to the banquet Everyone also raised their glasses in return Several elders I don't know took turns to congratulate Dugu Hao from time to time to praise Dugu Hao's character and cultivation Dugu Hao talked and laughed with them freely It's not beautiful Although I don't look down on him so sleek, I still have a little admiration in my heart This seems to be everyone's style Dugu Hao's words and deeds tonight are very worthy of his identity

Halfway through the banquet, Dugu Hao arranged for the guests to be transferred to another courtyard He specially invited the most prestigious troupe in Qinzhou to celebrate his birthday The performance was the latest choreographed show Everyone ate and drank well and were satisfied and followed the people who led the way I took the opportunity to slip away Under the pretext of going back to Qin's mansion first Qi Ao doesn't like many people With me I still mind that he "colluded" with Dugu Hao to frame me I didn't say a word to him all night

The soft sedan car on the way back stopped at the side gate of Dugu Mansion I walked on the cobblestone winding path Through the dim light, I vaguely saw a figure standing at the end When I got closer, I recognized it as Dugu Hao in green clothes It was strange At this time, he didn't greet the guests What did he come here to do

I didn't see him Shi Shiran walking past him, and he cried like a wounded beast, "Stop."

The first time I saw him so down, I was drunk

How much wine did this man drink Seeing that he was quite sober at the banquet Why is his mouth full of wine at this time I don't want to pay attention to him But he just blocked my way Qi Ao was so happy that he got out: "I'm waiting for you outside the house"

He walked in style, leaving me alone to face Dugu Hao

I looked at Dugu Hao coldly, and my face was full of impatience: "Dugu Hao, what do you want" poured blood mold for eight lifetimes and met such an enemy

He was silent for a long time and asked, "Qin Xi, do you hate me so much?"

Ask while knowing the answer

I said: "It's not that I hate it, it's very, very annoying Dugu Hao, you're arrogant and romantic, poisonous and arrogant, if it weren't for the two interests of our two families, I don't want to have anything to do with you at all, do you understand?"
