Chapter VII: Saving Lives
The child had a face like a New Year's doll, looking at people distressed with tears in his eyes, Xu Huai'an was so soft that he couldn't do it, and said to An Qingming: "It's okay to eat a few strings?" I like to eat sugar gourds, and every time I eat a dozen skewers, let alone children. ”
An Qingming gently and irresistibly took out the sugar gourd in Qingfan's hand, left only one string for him, and handed a string to Qing Ying, who was staring at her, and inserted the rest back into the shelf: "Since Gongzi Xu likes to eat, then the rest of the Gongzi will eat it." ”
Xu Huai'an: "Huh? ”
An Qing Mingqi said: "Could it be that the prince was tricking me just now?" ”
Xu Huai'an covered his aching teeth and smiled: "Where can I be, I never lie." He put down the sail, picked up a string of sugar gourds, and filled his mouth with them.
Qingying tugged at An Qingming's sleeve and whispered, "Big sister is a liar." ”
An Qingming asked her, "Who did I lie?" ”
Qing Ying was very aggrieved: "Lied to me and Ah Fan, the eldest sister said that she would buy us five sugar gourds each, but now she only gave one, and it wasn't the eldest sister who bought it." ”
"Yes," An Qingming touched her head, "I want to buy five, but did I say I want to buy them all at once?" ”
Kiyosakura, who couldn't refute it: "...... No. "Being young is easy to be deceived and has a long memory.
An Qingming pinched the faces of the two little ghosts with satisfaction, raised her head and found that there were already several strings of sugar gourds missing from the shelf, and Xu Huai'an's mouth was full and kept chewing.
An Qingming saw that her teeth were sour.
"No matter how much you like something, there is no such way to eat it, eat less at a time, and no one will grab the rest from you."
Xu Huai'an inserted the remaining sugar gourd back into the shelf: "Miss An is right, then I'...... Go home and eat slowly. ”
Qingfan and Qingying saw their partners in the study from afar, and they wanted to play together, An Qingming knew that children were unrestrained, and they didn't stop them, so they only let Hitomi and the nurse follow to take care of them.
Without the two little guys, Xu Huai'an was so happy that he was about to laugh, and he said in his heart that these two little things are really insightful, and he will secretly buy them sugar gourds next time. The remaining two walked together, and there were acquaintances along the way to greet them, Xu Huai'an admired An Qingming, and everyone knew that after the wind and rain in the city, these people showed a tacit smile when they saw them side by side.
The second son of the royal family outside the city stepped forward: "Isn't this the eldest girl and Xu Gongzi?" Oh, did Wang come forward like this, didn't he know what to do? Guilty, guilty! ”
An Qingming greeted politely, as if she couldn't understand the deep meaning in his eyes at all.
Xu Huai'an struggled to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, revealing a look of "I appreciate your acquaintance, but I have to pretend that I don't understand anything": "Brother Wang, what are you talking about?" The younger brother really didn't understand. ”
Second Young Master Wang joked enough and didn't stay to annoy people, "haha" smiled and said: "Wang also made an appointment with someone else, it's time to come, I'll go to the front to greet you." ”
An Qingming said: "Second young master, go slowly. ”
Xu Huaian said: "Walk slowly, walk slowly!" "That breath wishes people were going faster.
An Qingming originally came to accompany the two children this time, and now that the two children are having fun, An Qingming thought about taking the opportunity to contact the other young owners of the Chamber of Commerce to have a relationship, and let me know in advance if there is any news.
However, the weather is good today, and the dog skin plaster is more sticky due to the sun, and it can't be torn off alive or dead.
"I heard my dad say that the tea samples he ordered from you have been sent, and he is very satisfied." Xu Huai'an struggled to find a topic.
"It's good that Master Xu is satisfied," An Qingming said, "Speaking of which, thanks to Mr. Xu's early mention, I made preparations in advance, so that I could take out a sample of tea when Mr. Xu wanted to see the tea." In this way, I would like to thank Xu Gongzi a lot. ”
"Thank you, what's so polite."
"Where, thanks." She didn't say it all politely, she naturally knew that her deal with Xu Mansion was stained with Xu Huai'an's light, and Master Xu fell in love with the tea of the An family, and at the same time, he also wanted to use this deal to accompany his son Xiang An Qingming.
An Qingming accepted it.
"It's because I've been busy lately, and I should have invited my son to a meal."
"Where?! Am I the one who is for a meal! Xu Huaian was very displeased, "It's not too late to invite now, where are we going to eat?" ”
An Qingming: "......" After listening to the first half of the sentence, she thought that the money for this meal could be saved.
Joke! Xu Huaian doesn't like a meal, but is it a meal that he enjoys? That's the time with An Qingming!
An Qingming and Xu Huai'an booked a time and place, and the two of them also walked slightly sweating, planning to go to the shade of the tree to rest, when they heard a noise not far behind the tree.
It's sparsely populated and very cold here, but I didn't expect that there were other people here besides the two of them.
Xu Huai'an, who loves to watch the excitement the most, "poofed" and brightened his eyes.
An Qingming frowned slightly, and also looked in that direction.
Xu Huai'an said: "Go over and have a look?" ”
The voice...... Seems a little familiar.
An Qingming nodded.
The willows planted peaches on the riverside, and there were four people standing behind the shade of the trees.
Leaning against the tree is a twenty-eight-year-old girl, dressed in a lilac gauze dress, which is even more lined with her skin like congealed cream, without saying a three-point smile, her temperament seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog, behind her stood a grandmother holding an umbrella, and the two of them were stunned when they saw An Qingming and Xu Huai'an.
This person is the "Wen Yulou" Oiran lady Dream Makeup Girl, Dream Makeup bowed slightly, and she couldn't see a trace of abnormality, as if the two people who were arguing three steps away had nothing to do with her, and her demeanor looked more passer-by than An Xu's two passers-by.
On the other side, a pair of men and women stood with their waists crossed and scolded each other.
The man was angry: "You can't speak?!" gave birth to such a stinky mouth, no wonder you can't get married?! ”
The woman's rage was like thunder: "That's better than you!" Do you see if you marry a daughter-in-law?! Except for the women in the Qinglou, which one can look up to you! ”
The man didn't give up: "Don't you just like it?!" If you see a lot of young master Ben playing here, what kind of splash is there! ”
No matter how strong this woman is, she is still a woman after all, and she is so clearly and clearly thinking by the person she loves, or in front of the Qinglou woman she despises the most, she is ashamed and annoyed in her heart, a little on her tiptoes, the long whip in her hand is out of the sheath, and she goes straight to the door of the person in front of her.
"Zhou Xu—" She said hatefully, "You bastard!" This girl wants your dog's life! ”
She didn't care about it at all, and showed the ruthlessness of her martial arts practice, which frightened Zhou Xu to retreat again and again.
"Ruyu!" Seeing Zhou Xu's expression change greatly and his steps staggering, An Qingming couldn't help but stop drinking.
This red-clothed woman is none other than Liu Ruyu, the eldest lady of the "Tiger Xing" dart game, there is no ink in the stomach of the willow dart, and the girl was born and deliberately spent ten taels of silver to ask the gentleman of the school to give a name with ink, thinking that she will be as warm as jade and soft as water in the future.
Who knew that the raised girl had a fork, and she didn't raise a handful of Lingling hot spring water, and she raised layers of turbulent waves, and her gestures could kill people.
Liu Ruyu heard someone calling her, and when she looked back, it was An Qingming, and there was a Xu Huai'an who she didn't like to see very much, and she pinched a string of sugar gourds in her hand and watched it with relish.
Originally, such a shameful thing was just for Meng Makeup to see alone, and she didn't dare to say it. Who knows that now there is another An Qingming and Xu Huai'an, An Qingming is a friend with her, and it doesn't matter. But Xu Huai'an ......
There was a hole in the mouth, and he could hear that something might be revealed.
Liu Ruyu became more and more annoyed, and all the anger was sprinkled on Zhou Xu, and the long whip swam around him like a spiritual snake, Zhou Xu scolded and hid, but he didn't dodge a few steps, one foot slipped, and he went straight into the river.
"Liu Ruyu, you shrew-help-"
The gesture is quite indecent.
Liu Ruyu also froze in place, looked at An Qingming with some helplessness, and pointed to Zhou Xu who was fluttering in the water, looking like she wanted to jump down.
An Qingming stepped forward and grabbed her: "Don't move." ”
She has been friends with Liu Ruyu for many years, and knows that Liu Ruyu can climb over walls and dare to climb trees, but she doesn't know water.
An Qingming pulled off the hairpin with her backhand, and a fierce man plunged into the river.
Seeing this, Xu Huai'an screamed more miserable than Zhou Xu in the river: "Qing Ming-"
It doesn't matter if Miss An is not a girl, and he doesn't talk about the etiquette, he glared at Liu Ruyu like a ruthless rabbit, and stepped forward to stand by the river in a few steps. There is a lot of rain this year, the water level in the river is high, they are located in the middle reach, the water is urgent, Zhou Xu is afraid of water, keep tossing, no matter how good An Qingming's water nature is, it can't withstand an eight-foot man's trouble, so he can only barely grab half of his arm.
Xu Huaian turned his head and glared at Meng Makeup: "What are you doing in a daze?!" Don't go and call someone! ”
Dream makeup is the Oiran of the stars and the moon, when was she so fierce, and she couldn't react for a while, she took the paper umbrella in Mama's hand, and asked Mama to call someone over.
An Qingming, who was soaking in the river, was very helpless: "Young Master Zhou, you should be a little quieter." ”
The noise hurt her ears.
I heard that someone fell into the water here, and soon surrounded many people, some with poles and some with ropes, An Qingming asked Zhou Xu to go up first, Zhou Xu was not polite, grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Everyone had no objections, although An Qingming was a woman, but she was very watery, and it didn't hurt to soak for a while, but Xu Huai'an's brows were tight, and his eyes fell on An Qingming's wet face, and his expression became deeper and deeper.
Zhou Xu was pulled up, and his anger had not eased up, and Liu Ruyu, who was rushed over, was beaten up: "If something happens to Qingming, I will kill you and feed the dog!" ”
Zhou Xu coughed a few times, and before the words in his throat and eyes came out, he heard a burst of exclamations from around him, and he looked up and saw that it was Xu Huaian who jumped straight into the river.
The words in his throat turned around and swallowed back, replacing them with a sentence: "...... What kind of fun is this kid making? ”
The so-called "things gather like people in groups", two landlubbers like to swim together. One landlubber had just been fished up, and the other jumped down.
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
Xu Huai'an jumped into the river, did not yell like Zhou Xu, but directly grabbed the rope thrown by others with one hand, and grabbed An Qingming's waist with the other hand.
Yang Liu's waist, Ying Ying held it, and An Qingming shrank like a needle.
Xu Huaian said in a low voice: "I'm sorry. ”
People on the shore: "......" So this boy jumped down to play a "hero saves beauty" drama? But the beauty doesn't need you to save it with a landlubber!
An Qingming was speechless, her expression remained unchanged, and she let Xu Huaian protect her in her arms, supported the weight of the two with one hand, and let the people on the shore pull them up.
As soon as they came ashore, Tong'er rushed over with the two children, An Qingming avoided the arms of the two children, and asked the nurse to pull them away: "I'm wet, they wear thin clothes, don't get wet." ”
Zhou Xu also eased up at this time, and came over to thank him: "Thank you for the big girl's life-saving grace, if it weren't for the big girl, I would have been ...... today and drowned. Thinking of so many people around, he could swallow the words "that shrew".
An Qingming shook her head: "It's just a gesture, Young Master Zhou should go and change his clothes quickly, so as not to suffer the cold." ”
Zhou Xu said: "The big girl is too." ”
