Chapter 66: Rivalry

After Han Sidao saw Mo Li, his eyes first showed a little excitement, but when he saw the people of the Xie family, his eyes added a little coldness, but in the end, these complicated expressions were all hidden. After he entered the eaves, his face had changed to calm with a little unexpected and gentle smile, and then nodded at Mo Li and said, "Miss Mo is also sheltering from the rain here, I ......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, Xie Tianyun, who looked at others in his eyes, immediately teased Mo Xue: "The snow doll is also here, come, come here, my brother will give you candy to eat." ”

Han Sidao was interrupted by Xie Tianyun, and he felt a little unhappy, but he didn't want to have a gap with the Xie family, so he only smiled, and turned his head and pretended to put away the umbrella, not bothering about the child.

Mo Xue leaned out his face and glanced at Xie Tianyun, who was dressed in brocade and jade crown, and then at Xie Gexian, who was wearing a green shirt, and then retracted his head and leaned on Mo Li to hide.

Xie Gexian glanced at Xie Tianyun, and then said to Mo Li with a smile: "I don't want to meet the girl here, it's a coincidence tonight, it's just that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the girl doesn't seem to have an umbrella. ”

After Han Sidao put away the umbrella, he suddenly heard Xie Gexian's words, and his brows couldn't help frowning. It's just that he didn't know Xie Gexian at this time, and he didn't know the depth of this person, he just glanced at it when he came in, and only felt that the other party had an extraordinary bearing, and then saw that the other party was walking with the young master of the Xie family, he just hesitated in his heart, and he didn't want to be preempted by Xie Gexian to open this mouth to Mo Li.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, it's just that my own carriage will arrive in a while." Mo Li smiled and politely refused. Xie Gexian smiled faintly, then didn't say anything, and after putting away the umbrella in his hand, he turned his face to look at the rain line flying obliquely outside. Under the dim eaves, the lines on his face seemed to be only faint, but they were more perfect, and he didn't pay much attention to the occasional rain that flew in and fell on him. It's just that the hazy fire light in the shadow lamp in the hands of Mo Li and the others splashed those on him, and then the rain and mist scattered in all directions shone a piece of fluorescence, as if there were fireflies flying around him.

Under the small eaves, there was a sudden moment of silence, Han Sidao immediately stepped forward and smiled politely at Xie Tianyun: "It turns out that Eighth Young Master Xie is also sheltering from the rain here, but I didn't see it just now, Han Mou only saw Eighth Young Master in Third Master Xie's study today, I don't know if Eighth Young Master has any impression?" ”

Xie Tianyun was about to go to Mo Xue, but he didn't want to suddenly burst out of such a person, and said such a thing again. Although he had no one in his eyes, he was not uneducated, and the other party had already greeted him so politely, he had to stand still, looked at Han Sidao carefully, and then said politely: "It turned out to be Han Steward, and I did see it in my father's study today." ”

Han Sidao then smiled and said: "Tonight's rain came suddenly, and the Eighth Young Master was also blocked by the rain, I don't know if the Eighth Young Master has a carriage coming, or will Han send the Eighth Young Master back later?" ”

"Steward Han is bothered, but Xie Fu's car will arrive soon." Xie Tianyun said, turned his head to look for it, and then said to Xie Tianshi, "Fifth brother, what are you doing standing there, Sister Mo is also here, why don't you come and say hello!" ”

After Xie Tianshi entered this roof, he suddenly saw that Li Yue'er was also here, and his whole person instantly seemed to be steamed, and he didn't even know how to put his hands and feet. Later, he saw that Mo Li was also there, and then suddenly remembered that he was about to marry Mo Li, and he didn't know what to do all of a sudden, and he couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground and never come out. So he rubbed and rubbed and rubbed

"I, I, I'm ......" was suddenly shouted by Xie Tianyun, and when he was hypnotizing himself that no one could see him, he suddenly woke up, and then panicked. Xie Gexian also turned his head to look at Xie Tianshi, and then glanced at the people under the eaves, although he didn't know Li Yue'er, he only needed to look at Li Yue'er's fashionable dress, and then look at Xie Tianshi's flustered look, and at the same time, he quietly glanced at Li Yue'er, and he had a little realization in his heart. So he walked over with a smile and patted Xie Tianshi on the shoulder and said, "If you are not feeling well, say it early, what to do, and the carriage will come over soon." ”

Xie Tianyun was stunned: "Is the fifth brother uncomfortable?" ”

"Uh-huh...... Yes, there are some ......" Xie Tianshi touched the sweat on his forehead and replied vaguely.

Li Yue'er stood alone and looked at this group of people, with a charming smile on her face all the time, originally she wanted to say hello to Mo Li, but after suddenly looking at Han Sidao, she closed her mouth and pretended to be an outsider and stood under this roof to avoid the rain.

Xue Lin was the last to come in, and she was followed by her brother Xue Cai, and the two of them only held an umbrella, so after entering the eaves, they were each half wet. It's just that Xue Lin suddenly looked at Mo Li, and didn't bother to wipe the rain on his body, so he immediately walked to Mo Li's side and said unexpectedly: "It turns out that my cousin is also sheltering from the rain here, what a coincidence!" I was just wondering if my cousin wouldn't come out tonight. ”

"Sister Xue." After looking at Xue Lin, Mo Xue shouted politely.

"Cher is out too, oh, what a beautiful shadow lantern." Xue Lin lowered her head, looked at Mo Xue and praised it.

"My sister bought it." Mo Xue took her rabbit lamp and said proudly, and then added, "The one my sister took was also given to me." ”

"It turns out that the snow doll likes this broken lamp." As soon as Xie Tianyun heard the sweet and tender voice, his heart itched, and he couldn't help but want to tease her.

"It's not a broken lamp." Mo Xue glanced at him a little angrily, and then twisted his head.

Xue Cai, who was followed by the ruffian, came over, and first lowered his head and smiled flatteringly at Mo Xue: "Xue'er still remembers me?" And after he finished speaking, he didn't care whether Xue'er was silent or not, he raised his face, and looked at Mo Li with a trace of greed hidden in his kind eyes: "It's been a long time, how is Sister Li doing recently?" ”

Mo Li nodded slightly, the hand on Mo Xue's shoulder used a little force, and then his eyes swept around Xue Lin, Xue Cai, and Han Sidao, and then he smiled lightly: "I just saw that my cousin, Xue Lin and Han Ye came from the same direction, but you just met on the road?" ”

Xue Cai, Xue Lin's brother, had studied in school for a few years, just because he was not the material for studying, and his mother died early, the family was in the middle of the road, and his father didn't care about anything, so he quit school early and went out to mingle. I heard that now running errands under the Cao gang in Yongding He, he is a very good at gagging. He also coveted Mo Li back then, but because Han Sidao had won it early, he accepted that impatient heart. Now, after he vaguely knew that Han Sidao was interested in his cousin, he immediately gave Han Sidao an idea, his own sister now lives in the Mo family, and she is like Mo Li and her sister on weekdays, so if you want to know something, it is not a matter of hand.

Hearing Mo Li take the initiative to speak to himself, Han Sidao immediately withdrew his gaze from Xie Tianyun and looked at Mo Li with a smile: "Well, it just happened to rain on this day, I originally wanted to say that tonight's luck is really bad, but now it seems that this God is taking great care of me." ”

Mo Li smiled faintly, lowered his eyes, and looked at the rose lamp in his hand.

The warm orange light added a bit of luster to her troubled face, and the blooming roses seemed to be alive in her hands. The two flower-like sisters, each holding a shadow lamp that seemed to be their own incarnation, stood under this small eaves on the night when lovesick rain fell in the sky, in the middle of the crowd that seemed to be kind, but was actually surrounded by wolves and tigers. One has a little indifference on his face, and his back is straight; One has a little ignorance in his eyes and an innocent smile.

Li Yue'er stood behind the light, watching this scene in the shadows cast by Mo Li, and from beginning to end, there was a bewitching smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xue Lin stood next to Mo Li, and with the light from Mo Li's hand, he looked at Han Sidao, then at Mo Li, and then with a faint hint of jealousy in his eyes. However, such a look only disappeared for a moment, and then she turned her gaze to the other side, the direction of Xie Gexian, and then her face was slightly stunned, thinking about the identities of those people. Then I remembered that the person who looked like a noble son just now also accosted Mo Xue, she seemed to have a cat scratching her in her heart, and a few questions were circling back and forth in her mind, what is the relationship between those people and her cousin? How did my cousin meet them?

Han Sidao's eyes were a little obsessed, and it took a while to take his eyes off Mo Li's face, move to the rain scene outside the eaves, and whispered to himself: "It's time for the carriage to come." ”

Xie Gexian's eyes were faint, and after pausing on Mo Li's face for a while, he took it back, glanced at Han Sidao again, patted Xie Tianshi on the shoulder but didn't say anything again, and then looked out of the eaves with his hands down, waiting for the carriage that came to pick them up.

Xie Tianyun was a clever man, and he also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere under this roof, so he also fell silent. It's just that after a while, he looked at the ruffian-like cousin over there, and he was still looking at the Mo family sisters with a sly face, and he still muttered that he didn't know what he was talking about. It's just that he knows the proportions, people are relatives, and this is not Xie Mansion, he still knows in his heart.

The sound of the rain was dripping, and the sound of the carriage finally came from a distance, and everyone under the eaves couldn't help but feel refreshed, and they all guessed in their hearts whose carriage came first.

After a while, the green canopy carriage finally stopped under the eaves, and Xie Gexian smiled lightly and bowed his head to the person who was driving. Han Sidao frowned slightly, Xue Lin just glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, Mo Li gently touched Mo Xue's little shoulder, and Mo Xue laughed: "My family's carriage is here!" ”

The red beans and ink dyes on the side also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ah Sheng.

It's just that then there is another problem, the rain at this time is still not small, even if Ah Sheng parked the carriage very close, but there is a distance of two or three steps, if these girls walk from under the eaves to the carriage, they will inevitably be drenched in the rain.

"If Miss Mo doesn't mind, you can use the umbrella under it first." Xie Gexian walked over two steps as he spoke, handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to the red bean on the side, the red bean was stunned, and he didn't know whether to take it for a while, so he hurriedly looked at Mo Li.

Han Sidao's hand holding the umbrella tightened, he opened his mouth just now, but he was still preempted by this person.

As soon as Xue Cai saw this situation, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the umbrella in Han Sidao's hand, and then handed it to Mo Li with a smile: "Cousin, there are so many people, how can only one umbrella be enough." Come on, come on, and then take Han Ye's umbrella too, after all, Han Ye will always go to his uncle's shop from time to time, and then my cousin will return the umbrella. ”

Xie Tianyun finally found a loophole now, so he snatched the umbrella in Xie Tianshi's hand and rushed over and said: "Sister Mo, don't use outsiders' umbrellas casually, this is the fifth brother for you, borrow you!" You can rest assured that you can send it back when Sister Mo, Grandma Mo and Sister Xue'er visit my house another day, even if you forget it, it won't get in the way. ”

Xue Cai was stunned for a moment, looking at the little boy who suddenly rushed up, full of luxury, and he was a little confused for a while. When Xue Lin told Han Sidao about the Mo family and the Xie family being married, he didn't hear it, so he didn't know the relationship between Xie Tianyun and Mo Li.

It's just that Xue Cai is a slippery head, he wants to please Han Sidao, but he doesn't want to offend this son, who is from a rich background, so he laughed: "This little boy, here...... For my cousin Mo Li, the real outsider should be you, the little boy, right? ”

Xie Tianyun glanced at him, with a faint disdain in his eyes: "Since you don't know the relationship between my Xie family and Sister Mo, you are not qualified to say such things to the master." After he finished speaking, he handed the umbrella to Mo Li's hand, "Sister Mo, take the umbrella quickly, this night is cold, the girl's body is already thin, if it rains, it is easy to get sick." And Xue'er's sister is also small, so she can't get wet in the rain at night. ”

Mo Xue blinked, looked at the two umbrellas that were handed to her sister, and then said softly: "After giving it to us, then what do you use?" ”

"Sister Xue'er, don't worry, there are also umbrellas on the carriage that will come to pick us up later." Xie Tianyun said, as soon as his eyes rolled, he shoved the umbrella into Mo Xue's hand, and then said with a smile, "Sister Xue'er take it, don't get caught in the rain, otherwise Sister Mo will be distressed." ”

Xue'er was startled when she saw the umbrella that was suddenly stuffed into her hand, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look at Mo Li, but as soon as she raised her face, the umbrella in her hand was taken over.

"I'll take an umbrella and ask the girl to take the second girl into the car." Ah Sheng nodded to Xie Tianyun, then opened the umbrella and said to Mo Li, and then said to Hongdou, "Come out quickly, hurry up and get in the car, it's not good for the horse to stand in the rain." ”

Mo Li smiled, then bent down and hugged Mo Xue, followed by a thank you to Xie Tianyun, and walked out of the eaves. Hongdou also took the umbrella in Xie Gexian's hand and went out with Mo Ran, Xue Cai was a little stunned, Han Sidao frowned, and the look on Xue Lin's face was also extremely bad.

It's just that after Mo Li, Hongdou and the others got into the car, Ah Sheng took the umbrella in Hongdou's hand again, turned around and walked to the eaves, returned the two umbrellas to Xie Gexian, and said "Thank you", and then turned around and jumped into the carriage and whipped away.

Xie Tianyun frowned suddenly, and muttered, "What kind of servant is this!?" ”

Xie Gexian smiled: "You should really meet him for a while." ”

After Mo Li's carriage was gone, Li Yue'er chuckled, and then opened his umbrella and wanted to go out.

Thank God, this will finally muster up the courage to speak: "Aunt, girl, please stay!" ”
