When An Qingming came back from the shop, she saw two little dolls squatting on the left and right in front of the door, taking the place of the two lions guarding the door.

Not far away stood the nurse, staring at the two living ancestors without daring to blink.

Seeing her figure, two little dolls jumped up and hugged her legs left and right: "Big sister!" You're finally back! ”

The girl on the right pouted and said, "Is the big sister tired?" Do you want to drink water? ”

The boy on the left wrinkled his nose: "Big sister, I sit on my butt and it hurts, I should eat sugar gourd to make up for it." ”

An Qingming didn't figure out where the logical relationship between "butt pain" and "should eat sugar gourd" was.

She half-squatted down and held the two little dolls carved in pink and jade in her arms: "Ah Ying and Ah Fan are waiting for me." ”

This is a pair of dragon and phoenix twins of the third uncle's family, the boy is called Qingfan, and the girl is called Qingying, who is now only five years old, lively and cute.

Mrs. An has been injured since she gave birth to An Qingming, and she is pitiful for her brothers and sisters who have no relatives around her, but the two glutinous rice balls of the third uncle's family are very close to her.

Qing Ying stretched out her round little hand to touch An Qingming's face, looking old: "Look at it, this little face is tired, and she has lost weight......"

An Qingming couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, so Ah Ying has to grow up sooner, and help my sister." ”

The little girl had a pair of watery eyes, first nodded, then looked at her and said, "Big sister, you see that you are tired, Ah Ying is distressed when she looks at it." ”

"Would you like to take a break?" Qingfan continued.

"But how do you rest?" Kiyozakura frowned.

"I'm looking at the Flower Festival!" Qingfan shook his head, and his tone was frustrated.

The two sang and harmonized very tacitly.

An Qingming touched Qingfan's shaky little head: "Tell me big sister, who asked you to memorize this passage?" ”

Qingfan was shocked and grabbed her sleeve with great admiration: "Big sister, you are so smart!" ”

The sister stretched out her hand and knocked him on the forehead: "Stupid! What about the secrecy?! ”

Qingfan, who reacted, hurriedly covered his mouth.

Kiyozakura was busy remedy: "No one let the back!" It's our own thoughts! ”

An Qingming said: "A sugar gourd." ”

Qing Ying covered Qing Fan's mouth: "Let us ourselves want the big sister to rest!" ”

"Two sugar gourds."

Qingfan struggled with "woo", and Qingying continued to cover: "No one else ......"

"Three sugar gourds."

Qingfan began to slap his sister's hand, and Qingying covered it with some struggle: "Just ...... There's no one else......"

"Five sugar gourds and Li Kee's pastry."

Qing Ying's hand drooped down, and Qing Fan, who could speak, said in one go: "It was Xu Huai'an who asked us to tell you this!" ”

An Qingming had already guessed eighty percent, and she was still angry when she heard him say this, nodded his forehead, and said, "That Xu Gongzi promised you such benefits, and you helped him to lie to me!" And Ah Ying, could it be that Xu Gongzi is your brother? ”

Qing Ying stirred her fingers and coquettishly said: "He said to sell us sugar gourds...... A-Niang doesn't allow us to eat sugar gourds, A-Ying is greedy. ”

Qingfan added: "Three! ”

An Qingming was even more angry: "You are going to sell me for the sake of three sugar gourds?" I'm worth a lot! ”

Qing Ying went to rub her face: "Don't sell big sister!" Xu Huai'an said that you have been too tired lately, we want to make the big sister smile! He said that if the big sister doesn't take a break, we will have no big sister! Sakura doesn't want to be without a big sister! ”

An Qingming hurriedly wiped her tears: "Ah Ying, oh, big sister is not tired." ”

This Xu Huai'an is really going to curse her in a different way.

I don't know how Xu Huai'an brainwashed the two children, so that they appraised that An Qingming would really be ill if she didn't go to the Flower Festival, and she cried more and more miserably, so An Qingming had to agree to go to the Flower Festival with them.

The so-called flower festival is just a folk festival on the sixth day of June in Sanjiang County, legend has it that on the sixth day of June three hundred years ago, there is a goddess who landed on the bank of the Qingjiang River, and thousands of flowers fell one after another, the scholars who passed by and the goddess became husband and wife, and the barren land gave birth to people, which is now Sanjiang County.

Therefore, the flower festival is not only the day of ancestor worship, but also a good day for young men and women to seek joy and travel, there is a temple of goddesses standing on the bank of the Qingjiang River, and men and women who are happy with each other pray in front of the temple that they can be united forever.

In previous years, An Qingming didn't come to the Flower Festival, but I didn't believe it, I just felt bored, and it was better to read two more account books if I had this kung fu.

This year, I owe the blessing of the Qingying sisters and brothers - oh no, it is the blessing of Xu Huai'an.

An Qingming went out with only the nurse of Tong'er and two children, and as soon as she arrived on the bank of the Qingjiang River, she saw a crowd of people in the distance, with flowers and trees standing on the road, and various colored petals falling one after another.

Along the way, the pedestrians were bustling, Xu Huaian didn't know where to come out, he wore a brown Suzhou embroidered moire brocade shirt today, tied a white jade belt around his waist, hung a piece of green and white jade pendant, held a folding fan, smiled a little, but there was a bit of a bandit gentleman's unique posture.

It's a pity that it's an illusion after all.

His eyes crooked in thought, and he stepped forward quickly: "Oh, what a coincidence! Miss An is also here to play? ”

An Qingming smiled.

"Unfortunately," she pointed to the two glutinous rice dumplings beside her, "Qing Ming brought her younger siblings to ask for those three sugar gourds." ”

Xu Huai'an's smile froze on his face for a moment, and he smiled even more happily in an instant: "Sugar gourd? Who wants to eat sugar gourds? Buy three strings, I almost want to buy it! ”

Seeing the creditor, Qingfan reached out violently and grabbed his robe, and his saliva was about to stay: "Do you want to buy a few more serials?" ”

Xu Huaian gritted his teeth: "Okay, of course!" ”

He reached out to Chang Si and threw him a piece of broken silver: "Take it all to buy sugar gourds." ”

Chang Si didn't have time to tell him that this broken silver could move the sugar gourd stall directly, so he was inexplicably glared away by his young master.

"Oh," a voice came, and he didn't see anyone laughing first, "Isn't this Young Master Xu and Miss An?" Long time no see! ”

Xu Huai'an, who had only seen him before a cup of tea: "......"

An Qingming said: "Young Master Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Zhou Xu has also learned to do business over the years, the Zhou family and the An family are both leaders in the Chamber of Commerce, and the two have a lot of intersections.

Xu Huai'an, who stood aside and was completely ignored: "......"

His hand put on Zhou Xu's shoulder, and said compassionately: "Okay, don't you feel uncomfortable?" ”

The knives that shot out of his eyes were about to pierce Zhou Xu into a sieve.

Zhou Xu: "I don't think so, the weather is just right today, neither cold nor hot, just right." ”

"Really?" Xu Huai'an said worriedly: "Look at you, you are so hot that you are delirious, your face is white, like a bald rooster." ”

Ruddy Zhou Xu: "...... I think I can resist for a while. ”

"What is resisted!" Xu Huai'an said to the Zhou family's servant: "Stone! Hurry up and help your young master into the dream girl's painting boat, look at this poor face, it looks like he is suffering from heat stroke. ”

Stone: "...... Be. ”

Zhou Xu put his hand on the shoulder of the stone, and showed a meaningful smile towards Xu Huai'an with An Qingming on his back, Xu Huai'an wanted to slap the fan on his face.

As soon as Zhou Xu left, Xu Huaian couldn't wait to come to An Qingming's side and said, "Miss An, stay away from this person!" This man's stomach is bad! ”

Zhou Xu, who had just walked three steps away, couldn't help but turn around and roar: "I can still hear it!" Slander me behind my back, can I bear it until I'm gone! ”

"You see," Xu Huai'an said, "he himself acquiesced that I was right. ”

Zhou Xu: When did he acquiesce to "......"?

An Qingming glanced at him with a smile: "I think Young Master Zhou is a good person, hearty and funny." ”

"Pretended, pretended! He mixes around 'Wen Yulou' all day long, he is the best at coaxing people, he looks like a human, but in fact, he has a lot of bellies and intestines, and he doesn't have a word of truth! Looking at An Qingming's eyes with appreciation, Xu Huaian spared no effort to slander Zhou Xu.

An Qingming said: "But I see that the relationship between Gongzi Xu and Young Master Zhou is very good." ”

"I'm calling it helping others, you know, he's such a bad embryo, no one dares to be friends with him, I have to sacrifice myself for others."

An Qingming said sincerely: "Young Master Xu is righteous. ”

Xu Huai'an covered his face and seemed to be very shy: "Where, where...... False praise, really false praise! ”

Qing Ying looked left and right, and muttered: "Why do I think the way the big sister speaks like the way she used to scold......"

Passing through the crowd, the front is the Qingjiang River, the rivers and mountains are shuttled, the cruise ship is like weaving, there is the goddess pavilion standing on the shore, some people are talking in groups of three or five, and some people are walking towards the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River, in order to go to the goddess temple to light a stick of incense.

Xu Huaian was very attentive: "Where is Miss An going?" It's a little hot today, why don't you find a gazebo to rest? Don't stop, do you want to eat some fruit, I happened to bring some fruit - don't you? Then we ......."

"Gongzi Xu," An Qingming interrupted him, "Gongzi must have something to do when he comes here today, no better than remembering Qingming, Qingming will just walk by himself." ”

These words, peeling off the skin of politeness, are "what should you do, why do you go, don't bother me".

But Xu Huai'an's cheekiness was thicker than ordinary people, and he suddenly said: "I do have something to do on this trip!" ”

An Qingming's smile was a little more real: "Then the boy will go and get down to business." ”

Xu Huai'an said: "My main thing is to please Miss An, the girl is still here, where should I go?" ”

An Qingming: "......"

Qing Sakura raised her head: "Shame on your face!" ”

Qingfan followed: "Shame on your face!" ”

was laughed at by the two little dolls, and Xu Huaian was quite ashamed.

It just so happened that at this time, Chang Si rushed over with a sugar gourd shelf, and the red and big sugar gourd was inserted into the entire shelf, Chang Si ran from the flower forest to the riverside for a mile, and was stopped by seven or eight girls to buy sugar gourds.

Chang Si ran while hiding, and finally ran in front of Xu Huai'an, wiping his sweat: "Young master, I bought it back!" ”

Qingfan climbed An Qingming's leg and tried to climb up, Xu Huai'an saw him and picked him up, very wealthy: "How much do you want to eat?" Take it yourself! My brother pleased. ”

Qingfan opened his bow left and right, holding three in one hand, An Qingming stretched out his hand to him: "Only one can be left." ”

Qingfan tried to be coquettish: "Big sister, I'm hungry." ”

"Hungry?" An Qingming turned her head to call the nurse, "Take out the snacks you brought and give the third young master a cushion for your stomach." ”

If you eat those snacks, you can't eat a single sugar gourd, Qingfan doesn't want to eat dim sum, and he doesn't want to put down the sugar gourd, so he can only look at Xu Huai'an with a wrinkled face, he thinks that this big brother who bought sugar gourds is barely a good person.

Xu Huai'an: Reluctantly? Okay, there's no next time for the sugar gourd.
