Chapter 22: Something Happened

An Qingming finished reading the booklet: "Recently, there have been fewer people filling it out, is it not good to do something?" ”

"This ......" the shopkeeper was very embarrassed, "It's not the 'Water Moon Pavilion' that has just opened on Front Street, it's obvious that it's to grab business with us, these days, many guests have gone over there to join in the fun, so there are fewer guests in our house." ”

An Qingming, the name of Shuiyue Pavilion, has heard that a restaurant that just opened two days ago was very lively when it opened, and the sound of silk and bamboo did not stop day and night.

But to say that it is a threat to the Star Tower, An Qingming is a little unhappy.

The nature of the Water Moon Pavilion and the Wangxing Tower is not the same, although it is also the name of the teahouse, but there are dancing girls in it to help the fun, and the signboard is red sleeves and incense, and there are many scholars who go to find out.

An Qingming's brows furrowed slightly: "It stands to reason that such a restaurant should not be our competitor." ”

The shopkeeper said: "Let's make it lively, in the end, we are still clean here." ”

"Pure is pure, but it is too pure." Someone suddenly interjected, An Qingming was startled, she looked back, Xu Huaian smiled at him so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

An Qingming rolled his eyes for a moment, and did not ask him why he was here, nor did he question his interjection, but continued his words and asked, "How do you say it." ”

Xu Huai'an said: "Wangxinglou is elegant, and most of the people who come are literati and scholars, just to taste tea and listen to books." One can't come to the mall for talks, and the other can't come to the official family to socialize, clean is pure, and some people feel that they are vulgar when they say two words loudly. The atmosphere looks elegant, but it's also too oppressive. The Water Moon Pavilion seems to have a bit of a sense of impropriety, but it is not a green building, not a red pavilion, or just a few girls who have tea to help sing, which literati and ink artist don't want to find out? ”

This is reasonable, An Qingming thought about it several times, and had some ideas in her heart.

Xu Huai'an didn't get a response for a long time, thinking that he had said something wrong, he carefully looked at An Qingming's face: "I just said it casually, don't you mind." ”

An Qingming smiled: "No, what you said makes a lot of sense, I should thank you." ”

"Really?" He was as happy as a candy kid.

"Of course."

An Qingming turned her head and told the shopkeeper a few words, and when the shopkeeper received the order to go downstairs, An Qingming asked Xu Huai'an: "Xu Gongzi is here to eat tea?" ”

Xu Huai'an lied without changing his face: "Come in and take shelter from the rain." ”

An Qingming looked at his clean and refreshing clothes, and really couldn't see the embarrassment of hiding from the rain.

It just so happened that Xiao Er came up with a tray and saw Xu Huai'an standing with An Qingming, so he greeted him warmly to show his friendliness: "Big girl, didn't Xu Gongzi leave just now?" Something is missing? ”

Xu Huai'an: "......"

He glared at Xiao Er, Xiao Er was inexplicably glared at by him, and said in his heart that Xu Gongzi's temper was becoming more and more unpredictable. Xu Huai'an went to see An Qingming again, and saw An Qingming looking like an old god, and he couldn't see anything.

Xu Huai'an added: "I wanted to walk, but I forgot to bring an umbrella, so I had to take shelter from the rain here for a while." ”

An Qingming said: "Young Master Zhou didn't bring an umbrella either? ”

It's not that she saw anything, but she also has a certain understanding of Xu Huai'an, Xu Huai'an is definitely not the kind of person who comes out to drink tea alone, he must have come with others, that person is Zhou Xu.

"Didn't he only bring an umbrella, and two big men holding an umbrella together had to get wet, so I had to let him go first."

An Qingming nodded: "That's okay, you wait." I'll go first. ”

Xu Huai'an: "??? "What's going on, don't you need to be polite, this is very different from the result he expected.

He grabbed An Qingming's sleeve, and the distance between the two of them suddenly became extremely close, and the aroma on An Qingming's clothes penetrated into his nose, causing him to be a little confused.

"Where are you going with such heavy rain?"

"Naturally, it's home."

Xu Huai'an looked at the sky outside and disagreed: "The rain is too heavy, the wind is urgent, the umbrella can't hold it, wait a while and then leave." ”

and not long ago when he urged Zhou Xu and Ning Peijing to leave, he didn't seem to be alone.

An Qingming said: "It's okay, there is a carriage in the house outside." ”

Xu Huai'an: "......"

"That's just right," he stuck to it like a plaster, "Qingming will give me a ride." ”

The eight-foot man pulled her sleeve and coquettishly, and her whole body hair stood upside down.

An Qingming looked at him with a smile and didn't speak, Xu Huai'an said that he was so miserable: "I didn't know that I was here, and I couldn't find anyone in the house, if it rained more and the teahouse was closed later, what should I do?" It's too far away from home to get sick, and I don't know if I'll get sick when I walk back, but if I do, I'll ......."

An Qingming interrupted him: "Let's go." ”

An Qingming can see that Xu Huai'an doesn't treat himself as an outsider.

Xu Huai'an's eyes lit up, and Baba followed.

Hitomi was guarding in front of the carriage, and when she saw that the eldest girl of her family was alone when she went in, and when she came out, she had a small tail, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Little Tail" greeted her with a hippie smile: "Sister Hitomi, wait for it." ”

Hitomi: Phew, who's your sister, still young!

An Qingming lifted the curtain of the car and said lightly: "Xu Gongzi still doesn't get in the car?" At this time, you are not afraid of rain? ”

"Just get on and get on," he Malier got into the car and said to Hitomi, who was sitting with the coachman, "Sister Hitomi, be careful, don't catch a cold." ”

Under the pretext of the principle that if he wants to please An Qingming, he must please everyone around her, and he frequently shows favor to Tong'er.

But I didn't know that Hitomi, who had been called "sister" a lot for no reason, turned over and over in my heart and scolded eighteen kinds of tricks.

An Qingming's carriage is different from other ladies' carriages, there are no glass beads of various colors inside, and there are no four-cornered flower diamonds, which is very simple.

An Qingming and Xu Huai'an sat opposite each other, An Qingming didn't seem to think very much, Xu Huai'an had to look at her with a blank eye, the rain was raining outside, the carriage was slow, the rain curtain covered his eyes, the coachman couldn't see the road clearly, he walked through a puddle, the wheels fell in, causing a tilt, An Qingming leaned forward, Xu Huai'an really hugged him, An Qingming's unique tea fragrance got into Xu Huai'an's nose, full of nephrite rouge, Xu Huai'an was a little fluttering.

An Qingming's hair brushed his cheeks, and An Qingming was a little uncomfortable being hugged by him, but I have to say that people also helped her easily, and she was not easy to turn her face.

Hitomi's voice came in: "Big girl, are you all right?" ”

The curtain of the car trembled slightly, as if Hitomi wanted to open the curtain to take a look.

An Qingming pushed Xu Huai'an away violently, sorted out his clothes and sat back, Xu Huai'an was caught off guard by her push, the back of his head hit the wall of the carriage, he rubbed his head, and said: "Miss An is too good at revenge, I am kind enough to help you, but you treat me like this." ”

An Qingming secretly scolded him in his heart, glanced at him, and didn't want to speak.

Xu Huai'an saw it but came forward happily, the distance between the two people was extremely close, An Qingming opened his eyes: "Sit down." ”

Xu Huaian smiled: "Qingming, were you rolling your eyes at me just now?" I am very happy. ”

An Qingming felt that he was most likely sick.

"Really," Xu Huai'an really smiled happily, as if he was not just talking, "You have always restrained and courteous me, and now you finally no longer hold the shelf of the eldest girl of the An family all the time, I am very happy." ”

seems to be really a little girl, does this change mean that An Qingming's mentality and attitude towards him have changed greatly.

An Qingming was also stunned by what he said, as if it was really like this, I don't know when she started to face Xu Huai'an, she became more and more relaxed, as if the self she had banned inadvertently came out, this realization made her a little unhappy.

She frowned, a little annoyed, but she didn't know whether she was annoyed with herself or Xu Huai'an.

Xu Huai'an was immersed in excitement and joy, and naturally he would not take her such annoyance in his eyes, he sniffed and leaned closer.

The warm breath sprinkled on the side of the face, like catkins swept by the wind, An Qingming was a little uncomfortable.

Her hands clenched into fists in her sleeves and raised slightlyβ€”

The breathing on the side of the neck disappeared, and Xu Huai'an sat back, looking like a well-educated son.

He said, "Qingming, you are so fragrant." ”

An Qingming's fist clicked.

"What kind of incense powder do you use, I also want to buy a set for my mother." Xu Huai'an blinked his eyes, looking humbly seeking advice.

An Qingming's fist didn't know whether to clench it tighter or let go directly.

She said, "I don't rub incense powder. ”

Xu Huai'an said: "Strange, why does it smell so good......

An Qingming wanted him to get out of the car.

Xu Huai'an didn't notice it at all, he laughed lowly: "Also, where is the incense powder that can line you." ”

Miss An has always been self-disciplined in her eighteen years of life, and no one dares to make a mistake in front of her, this is the first time she has met such a "flirtation", An Qingming endured it so much that the corners of her forehead jumped.

"Xu Huai'an."

It was the first time she had called his full name, lowly, with a hint of anger and a hint of coquettishness.

Xu Huai looked at her quietly, and the smile in his eyes almost turned into a substance, flowing out bit by bit, drowning An Qingming.

Outside the carriage was the sound of rain, and the streets were rarely populated, except for the sound of horses' hooves splashing water.

Xu Huai'an said: "Qingming, do you like me a little bit." ”

He seemed to ask very calmly, but if you listened closely, you would see that his voice was trembling, blending with the ticking of the falling rain.

But An Qingming didn't notice, her mind trembled, and she avoided Xu Huai'an's gaze.

The voice was calm and unwavering: "I thought we were friends. ”

The rain fell to the ground, splashed in all directions, scattered in all directions, and was never to be found again.

Xu Huai'an's heart sank little by little, but the smile on his face shouldn't be, and he still looked at An Qingming like that: "Between friends, there should be a little bit of liking...... Or appreciate it, right? ”

An Qingming sighed: "Young Master Xu, you are sincere and kind......"

"Stop!" As soon as he heard her beginning, Xu Huai'an could guess how hurtful the words were, he stopped An Qingming's words in time, he stretched out his hand and held An Qingming's wrist, An Qingming struggled, didn't break away, and glared at him with some resentment for a moment.

Xu Huai'an Quan didn't hear it.

"Qingming, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were the one I was going to marry home."

He's frighteningly straightforward.

"But you've always disliked me, I know it. If you have been indifferent, maybe I will give up in ten or eight years, but as long as you give me a little sweetness, I will not be able to escape. What do you say about this? ”

An Qingming was upset by what he said, so she sneered and said, "Co-authoring or my fault?" ”

Xu Huai'an said shamelessly: "Since you also think so, shouldn't you take responsibility for the starting point?" ”

An Qingming: "......"

An Qingming didn't answer, Xu Huai'an just kept looking at her like that, as if he wanted to keep looking into her heart.

An Qingming had no choice but to say: "Master Xu, don't make trouble." ”

The rain was dripping, and An Qingming withdrew her hand.

The carriage stopped, and Tong'er's voice came in: "Young Master Xu, Xu's Mansion has arrived." ”

Xu Huaian chuckled, turned around and got out of the car, turned to An Qingming when his fingers touched the carriage door, and said, "I've never made trouble." ”

Without waiting for An Qingming to react, Xu Huaian jumped into the rain curtain, and An Qingming didn't even have time to say a word to let him bring an umbrella.

Xu Huai'an's incident did not cause some waves in An Qingming's heart, or did not have time to cause waves.

Because something happened to the An family.
