Chapter 59: Midnight Tryst

The temple is brightly lit, with an oil lamp placed on top of each marble pillar, and the dim candlelight exudes a warm color. The light of each light may be very faint, but it adds up to form a huge aura, which coats the entire sky with a layer of molten light and dispels a lot of haze.

The bluestone slabs paved on the road were wiped clean and dusty, and a huge incense burner appeared on both sides from time to time, which was inserted with a lot of incense that was extinguishing and was exuding a faint sandalwood fragrance.

"It's good that this is the Wang family's house, it's been cleaned, everyone, please." Master Tongyi walked to a courtyard with the Chinese and stopped, and said to everyone.

"Master Lao!" Wang Yao said obediently and led everyone into the courtyard.

"Yun Gongzi, please come with Lao Gao." Master Tongyi said to Yun Qi, who was standing still in place, and turned to leave.

Yun Qi picked at Hua Xiyan's narrow phoenix eyes, then made a gesture, turned around and left with Master Tongyi, with a skull back and a graceful demeanor.

"Little aunt, let's go in." Wang Yan's son, Wang Qingyu, ran over on his short legs, took Hua Xiyan's hand and rushed towards the courtyard.

Wang Qingyu has been living in the academy with Wang Yan, perhaps because of his ears and eyes, and his father has the same obsession with literature that is revealed in his bones, so he is only two years old, but he is extremely intelligent, in addition to speaking fluently, he can also recite poems and eulogies, and his talent can be seen.

"Yu'er, do you want to pester your little aunt to eat walnut cake again?" Wang Lan leaned down, raised two heroic eyebrows and joked with a smile.

When Wang Qingyu saw Hua Xiyan for the first time, he was attracted by the walnut crisp on her table, the little person ate a big plate by himself, it can be seen that he likes it very much, Hua Xiyan will also make some from time to time to send it to him, unconsciously, Wang Qingyu loves the walnut crisp even more.

Seeing that his conspiracy was exposed, Wang Qingyu's little face did not show the slightest shame, and said crisply: "The eldest aunt is talking nonsense, Yu'er is afraid that the little aunt will be tired, so take the little aunt to rest quickly!" ”

As soon as this man's words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing. Hua Xiyan's heart softened, and he couldn't help but pick up Wang Qingyu's small body, the whole beautiful face was an extremely bright smile, Wang Qingyu's black grape-like eyes looked at Hua Xiyan, just thinking that the little aunt was so good-looking, even better than her mother.

The ten great families all have their own courtyards in the Huangzhao Temple. Because the Wang family is prominent, the courtyard is in a quieter place at the back. The courtyard here naturally cannot be compared with the Wang family's main house, but it seems to cover an area of dozens of acres, which is extremely vast.

"This is the West Chamber, just let the two sisters live here for a few days." Wang Qi took Wang Lan and Hua Xiyan outside a courtyard and said to the two.

The yard didn't look huge, and the houses weren't as tall as usual, but looked a little smaller. The carving on the eaves is not an ordinary beast and a monster, but a flower and a jade girl, obviously, it is a courtyard specially prepared for female dependents.

"It's a wonderful yard." Hua Xiyan stepped on the path in the courtyard, and felt the shallow lines carved on the road through the soft embroidered shoes to the soles of his feet, bringing an extremely pleasant feeling of numbness, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"The courtyard of each family is built at the time of the opening of the Huangzhao Temple, although the courtyard of the Wang family is not the largest, but if you talk about the degree of refinement, it is unparalleled." Wang Lan said, her heroic face faintly revealed a sense of pride, and even the hair tied at the back of her head swayed from side to side with her gently swaying body, which was extremely smart.

I see! Since it was built at his own expense, according to the Wang family's extremely high requirements for the quality of life, it is no wonder that this is the case, and Huaxi Yanxin is clear.

Wang Lan yawned, waved her hand at Hua Xiyan and said, "I'm a little tired, go rest first, sister, please!" ”

With that, he walked towards the boudoir on the left.

Huaxi Yan until there is a library in the Huangzhao Temple, which has the most books in the Holy Heavens, and it is said that hundreds of thousands of books are not exaggerated, and Wang Lan is in front of this time, a large part of the reason is from the art of war inside, naturally it is necessary to recuperate, and only in the next few days will there be time to gnaw on those many books.

Asked Xia walked out of the boudoir on the right and said to Huaxi: "Miss, it's already done, but it's time to rest?" ”

Hua Xiyan blinked, he slept a lot today, and now he was not half sleepy, but asked, "But there is a small kitchen?" ”

asked Xia Yi was stunned, and replied randomly: "Yes, yes, but I'm afraid there are no ingredients in it." ”

"Nothing." Hua Xiyan waved his hand, looking at the flowers in the courtyard, his eyes were shining, and he said gently, "You pick some petals and send them to the small kitchen!" ”

Ask Xia instantly understood that Huaxi Yan was making flower cakes, so he went to get a basket and carefully selected the petals.

It wasn't until the end of the day that Hua Xiyan walked out of the small kitchen with a tray with a few small plates, and walked to the boudoir on the right.

There was no one in the room, Hua Xiyan put the tray on the round table in the center of the room, sat on the edge of the table with her skirt on, supported her cheek with her right hand, and closed her eyes and concentrated.

Perhaps because of the temple, the room does not have the extremely strong floral fragrance that burns in the ordinary women's boudoir, but there is a faint smell of sandalwood, and the effect of concentrating and calming the mind is extremely obvious.

The closed window suddenly opened, and a gust of fresh wind poured into the house, blowing away the faint pleasant fragrance in the house.

Hua Xiyan stood up, got up and walked to the side of the bed to close the window tightly, and said with a smile: "If you don't leave the door, what window do you want to jump from those disciples?" ”

Lecher? Yun Qi's elegant ink eyebrows slowly raised, and his thin lips hooked a faint smile: "Deng's disciple broke into the women's boudoir in the middle of the night to pick incense, Miss Wang Er said this, but what is hinting at Qi?" ”

Through contact with Yun Qi in recent days, Hua Xiyan knew that this person had always called herself by her name, and only when she was ridiculing would she smile and call herself "Second Miss Wang", so she rolled her eyes angrily and said, "In that case, can I find someone to beat Yun Gongzi back?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work." Yun Qi blinked, very consciously walked to the middle position and sat down, picked up a piece of rose cake with his long fingers, and looked at it carefully in front of him, "If it spreads, people are afraid that they will only think that Miss Wang Er and I have a private meeting." After all, no one would prepare a late-night snack for Dengzi, would they? ”

Yun Qi said, put the flower cake in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and ate it very fragrant.

Hua Xiyan knew that in people's hearts, this person had always been revered as a god, and he had nothing to do with the word Dengzi no matter what. also knew that although he spoke in a set way, he couldn't take advantage of this person in any way, so he simply shut up and no longer "humiliated himself".

Yun Qi seemed to like eating the things on the table, and Feng Mu stared at Hua Xiyan quietly while slowly and elegantly eating dim sum, as if he was savoring the delicacies of the world.

There was silence in the room, and the two were silent. The warm glow of the candlelight in the room reflected on Huaxi Yan's face, coated with a light layer of light, and his always cold face was a little warmer. There are also those flying beautiful eyes, sparkling, as if they are full of water, and the ripples will overflow in the next moment.

After a long time, Yun Qi's gentle voice sounded, but there were only two concise words: "Let's go." ”

Hua Xiyan blinked, and immediately stood up: "Go!" ”

Yun Qi looked at her with a positive look and couldn't help but smile: "Such an expectation? ”

"That's nature." Hua Xiyan nodded, "The scenery of Huangzhao Temple is unique, who doesn't want to take a look?" ”

When the two walked into the courtyard, Hua Xiyan thought of something, called Xia to ask, and whispered softly in her ear. A flash of astonishment flashed across Xia Yuanyuan's face, and then he was full of confusion, but he still nodded obediently and retreated.

The two walked out of the West Wing Courtyard side by side, strolling on the flat road. Since it was already midnight, the two of them were not worried about being seen.

——

Xie Yan dressed up and came to a lake early. The water in the lake is a hot spring water brought from outside the mountain, bubbling and seemingly exuding steaming heat, making the vegetation still flourish in late autumn within a radius of several miles.

Not far away was a small pavilion, almost hidden in the night without the slightest light. If it weren't for the people in the pavilion full of pearls and greenery, it would be hard to imagine that there were people sitting in the pavilion at this time.

"Are you sure it's here?" After not seeing anyone come for a long time, Xie Yan was a little irritable in her heart, and turned her head to ask the maid beside her.

The maid said unhurriedly: "Miss rest assured, the news from here is indeed here, and there is still a period of time before the time, Miss will wait for a while." ”

The sky was dark, there was no moon or stars, only a low, dim sky. Xie Yan glanced sideways at the hourglass next to her, trying to calm the anxiety in her heart.

The time had passed, and Xie Yan still hadn't seen the person she should have seen, so she couldn't help but stand up and slowly walked down the pavilion.

The maidservant also felt that something was wrong, and secretly thought to herself, thinking that the news that came was tonight, could something have gone wrong?

Xie Yan walked towards the lake with the hem of her skirt, her face full of anger, and the sound of the steps on her head clinking was extremely harsh in the silent night. The maidservants beside her were a little trembling, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Miss, someone is here!" The maid suddenly whispered in Xie Yan's ear, Xie Yan looked up suddenly, and saw a man with a long jade body under a poplar not far away, and his face was hidden in the shade of the tree, but the clothes were as white as snow, but they were conspicuous.

After Xie Yan was stunned, she immediately showed a smile, extremely happy, straightened her clothes, and walked slowly towards the man.
