The banquet in Fan's Mansion was noisy, and it was not until the third watch that it calmed down.

Xiao Zhiqiu never fell asleep.

The cold moonlight shone in through the open window, casting a shadow of light in the dark night, and there was a slight sound of the wind blowing in the treetops outside the window.

At this time, it is July, about mid-August, Kyoto will send someone to pick her up, thinking of this, she sighed lightly, she is already in the year of Ji, lost the marriage of the Liu Shizi, the Xiao family must have to find another marriage for her.

And she didn't want to marry so early.

In the past, it was because the marriage had been decided, and she knew who she was going to marry, but she didn't think too much about it, but now that she has withdrawn from the marriage, the unknown is slim, but she has some retreat and resistance, is she just so resigned to her fate, with others engaged to her, whether she has feelings or not, she has to live this life like this?

I never married someone in my previous life, and if I want to marry someone in this life, I should be willing.

But the Xiao family, not only the Xiao family, in this era, whose marriage is not the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker? She turned over, put her hands to her ears, and looked sideways at the moon in the sky, tonight's sky was really clean and clear, and there was not a single star, which made the moon even brighter.

During the day, she can try to live every day, but in such a quiet night, people will always be a little sentimental.

She got up, poured a cup of cold tea, drank it, opened the door, and quietly walked out. Although Zhaori Zhaoyue is her slave, she sleeps, and she is used to being alone, and someone is awkward, so in the past three years, Zhaori Zhaoyue has also become accustomed to her habits, and she went back to her room to sleep at night.

Her yard is close to the back door of the kitchen, and Xiao Zhiqiu lives in this yard because of this convenience.

Behind the house of Fan Mansion is a river, Jiangnan people, most of them live near the water, down the river, it is the most prosperous in Cui Baicheng at night, where the big boats and small boats, lit up like stars, talented and romantic, has always been endless, prosperous endlessly.

A few willow trees, a few elm trees, a few mulberry trees were planted on the riverside, and the eldest prince Fan Gumin recently made people repair the surroundings again, built a few pavilions, and invited Cui Baicheng famous people to come as guests, always specially brought people to walk behind this house, and praised this place as the elegance of the ancients, and the inspiration for poetry and lyrics was very good.

It was dark at night, but walking in the moonlight, listening to the eastward flow of the river, and looking at the vast and boundless night view of the river and sea, it was a little quiet.

Xiao Zhiqiu entered the Blowing Snow Pavilion, "Blowing Snow Pavilion" is the name given by Fan Guxun, the third son of Fan, for this pavilion, she has never seen the snow in the south of the Yangtze River, but the word "Blowing Snow Pavilion" is very satisfactory to her. Thinking of the snowflakes flying, like catkins, a few people sit around the fireplace, burning tea, wearing red and green, and then looking at the bleak river scenery, it should be interesting.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a small sound.

Xiao Zhiqiu frowned slightly, this Xiao Sheng is not far away, could it be that in the middle of the night, there are people who are as sentimental as her and can't sleep?

However, although I thought so, I didn't get up to look, this Xiao sound was blown too well, the feeling of longing, the feeling of helplessness, came out of Xiao bit by bit, and the heart of the listener also followed the mood of the person who blew Xiao, and what is even more rare is that this Xiao sound coincides with her mood at the moment, as if she blew it.

Xiao Sheng's voice is over, the song stops, Xiao Zhiqiu seems to be still in this song, who can blow her mood to the fullest?

She stood up and turned to look, but in the pavilion next to her, a white-clothed boy stood against the pillar, at this moment he was standing there, holding Na Xiao in his hand, looking at the dark river, motionless, a little vicissitudes in his eyes, revealing Luo Mo loneliness, obviously a young son, but like a person who has gone through the world, who is this?

Xiao Zhiqiu stood there, shocked, looking at the side face of the man in white, and for some reason, she actually understood his state of mind at the moment as if she knew her own heart, and felt a sense of familiarity with the old man.

And the boy in white also seemed to be aware, and looked sideways at her, his clear and deep eyes seemed to be a pillar of bright light in this dark night.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Zhiqiu heard Zhaori Zhaoyue say that the person who his eldest cousin Fan Gumin invited to the banquet yesterday actually stayed in Fan's mansion.

Could it be that the one who blows is one of these people?

Xiao Zhiqiu's heart flashed the figure of the white-clothed man, and suddenly wanted to go and see these people, after all, there had never been a person, so that she had such a familiar feeling, the first feeling that crashed into her eyes, although it was not a heart-warming feeling, but he could blow such a small sound, and she was like penetrating his mood, this feeling was unwarranted and close.

After sitting for a while, drinking a cup of tea, and looking at a few plantains in the yard, Xiao Zhiqiu wanted to go to the garden for a walk.

Standing in the corridor, through the low bushes, you can see the garden, many people are drinking tea and talking there, it is still early at this hour, but I don't think that there are so many people to visit, and among them, the faces of several people Xiao Zhiqiu is also familiar.

Shi Zhi County of Cui Baicheng is one of them, I saw Shi Zhi County groveling, extremely respectful, I don't know what to say there, so that everyone laughed, but the most eye-catching, it was the three young men in the pavilion, dressed extraordinarily, noble manners, at a glance the nobles in the capital invited by the eldest cousin.

And the three sisters of Fan Caiqing are also in the pavilion, and beside her, there are five or six girls of similar age who are the daughters of other famous families in Cui Baicheng.

Xiao Zhiqiu looked at the three sons, all of them were handsome and outstanding, especially one of them was wearing a navy blue robe, his face was like a knife, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, his facial features were distinct, his eyes were narrow and deep, and he was sitting as calm as Mount Tai The man of about twenty years old was the most outstanding person she had never seen in this era.

Several girls in the pavilion peeked at him, their eyes were all intoxicated and ashamed, if it weren't for the cold aura he exuded all over his body, he never said a word, and his face was like a few words written on his face, which made people dare not climb up easily, for fear that all the girls present would fall in love with him.

Who is this person, is it the second son of the Song State Mansion?

Looked away and looked around the garden, but didn't see the white-clothed boy who blew Xiao, Xiao Zhiqiu frowned slightly, wasn't that person a guest of Fan's Mansion? So who is he? The surroundings of Fan's Mansion are all houses of famous families, but they all have their own ranges, but he has never seen them.

She just wanted to see who the man in white was, but since she didn't, she planned to turn around and walk back. She didn't like such occasions very much. But I heard a girl talking in the garden, but the topic of conversation was her.

"Second Prince Song, I heard that you are very familiar with Liu Shizi of the Zhenguo Mansion, I don't know something, why did Liu Shizi want to divorce Miss Xiao? Could it be that there is something wrong with Miss Xiao? ”

Xiao Zhiqiu couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look, but the person who spoke was Nalan Biqing.

Nalan Biqing is a recognized talented woman in Cui Baicheng, her appearance is captivating, her father is Cui Baicheng's prefect Nalan Chongxun, they have met a few times at the banquet, but they have never spoken, just because every time Nalan Biqing sees her, she is extremely arrogant, with an attitude of turning a blind eye, but I don't know how to care about her affairs today?
