Guo Xiaoxiao really lay on the horse's back without moving, and he didn't shout and was scared, and let Jiang Zhiyuan lead the horse around.

The grass is very large, and the two of them slipped away for a long time without much turning. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Jiang Zhiyuan's body, Guo Xiaoxiao looked at him, and felt that there was a halo on him, which made Jiang Zhiyuan shine.

She sat up straight unconsciously, and watched him lead the horse in front. Fading away from the afternoon heat, accompanied by the quiet cool breeze, Guo Xiaoxiao showed a shy smile. It would be a happier thing if the time at this moment could be longer, a quarter of an hour could be divided into two quarters of an hour, and half an hour could be divided into two hours.

His hand pulling the reins suddenly tightened a little: "I asked you in the letter, what do you want to think about?" ”

"What?" She didn't hear it.

"Oh, I mean, what do you want to eat at night?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Can I order a bowl of longevity noodles?" ”

"Okay, where do you eat?"

"I'm going to eat what you made."

He lowered his head and smiled: "Did you already make a plan and know that I would only make noodles?" ”

"yes, what's the matter, I'm too low for you, right?

The two talked and laughed until the sun set, Jiang Zhiyuan led the horse out, gave the old man some broken silver, and turned on the horse's back while Guo Xiaoxiao was not paying attention.

Guo Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "Why did you come up?" ”

He wrapped his arms around Guo Xiaoxiao and grabbed the reins with both hands: "Otherwise, this place is so far away from the city, how can you get there without riding a horse?" ”

Without waiting for Guo Xiaoxiao to speak, he raised his horsewhip and ran towards the city.

"Slow down." She clung to the saddle, "Don't knock the sway off my head." ”

He smiled silently, and whipped the horse hard, and the horse ran faster. The two walked through the streets and alleys to Jiangfu. Jiang Zhiyuan jumped off the horse and opened his hands to her.

"Hmph." She sat on her horse and refused to come down.

He knew that she was angry because of what had just happened, so he couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll go." ”

"Hey." She still opened her mouth.

He turned his head and looked at him with doting eyes.

"I find that you are getting more and more excessive, Jiang Zhiyuan." She said coquettishly.

"Dare you call me by my name."

"Do you want me to call you Lord Jiang like them, or 'Boss', are you satisfied?"

The officials called him "Chief".

"You're not coming down?" He asked rhetorically.

"No, no."

"Then you won't be able to eat noodles."

"I'm not eating."

"Don't you really want to eat it?"

"I won't eat it."

"Okay." He made the appearance of wanting to enter the door.

Guo Xiaoxiao watched him go in, and after a while, Jiang Feng came out again. Jiang Feng said respectfully: "Miss, Master asked me to send you a message, saying that if you don't come again, your face will be cold." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao thought to himself, it is the height of summer, the weather is so hot, how can the noodles be cold. Besides, it's only been such a short time, and it can't be done at all.

She said, "Help me down." ”

Jiang Feng hesitated: "The slave will go and get you a stool to cushion your feet." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao nodded, Jiang Feng really knew etiquette and proportion, knew that there was a clear distinction between master and servant, and there was a difference between men and women.

After a while, Jiang Feng came out, carefully placed the stool next to the horse, and then held the reins to prevent the horse from running away in fright.

Guo Xiaoxiao stepped on the stool and landed safely, and then took out a silver box wrapped in a handkerchief from the slanted shoulder bag he carried with him and handed it to Jiang Feng.

"What is this?"

"You give him this thing, and he'll understand."

"Aren't you going in?"

"Me." Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at the door, "I won't go in, you can help me pass a message, saying that I am tired and want to go back to rest first, and besides, tell him that I don't have to make noodles." ”

"Yes." Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "You better go in with the minions, otherwise, the minions are afraid that they won't be able to reply." ”

"I'm so tired today......

"Since your body is tired, why don't you rest in Jiangfu nearby, where else are you going?" I saw Jiang Zhiyuan striding towards the two of them.

"Master." Jiang Feng bowed his head and handed over the silver box with a handkerchief.

Jiang Zhiyuan glanced at it: "What is this?" ”

"It's all over Zhao."

He thought about it and guessed that the handkerchief was wrapped in the pendant he had given her last time. He took it from Jiang Feng's hand and said, "Stand down." ”

Jiang Feng retreated in recognition of each other, and did not forget to lead the horse to the stable in the backyard when he left.

"Why do you want to return it when it's already been sent?"

"It was given to me by you when I got married, and then the marriage didn't get married, so naturally it didn't make sense. I thought about it, but it would be better to return the thing to its original owner. ”

Jiang Zhiyuan felt that her words made some sense, so he didn't say anything more and accepted the silver box.

"If it's okay, I'll go back first."

"Wait, how did you think about what I asked you about last time?"

He asked the question he had been concerned about for a long time.

"What's the matter?" She pretended to be confused.

"Last time I was in Suzhou, I said that when you passed your birthday, I would propose marriage to my uncle and marry you."

Her heart trembled, and she said after a long time: "You, don't you regret it?" ”

"I've had this idea for a long time, but I haven't dared to ask you, and it's been delayed until now......"

"If at that time, I really married Han Tianlei, you would bless me, wouldn't you?"

"Uncle said kiss to Han Tianlei for you, you never meant to refuse, I just thought, you should be happy with him."

"I got it......"

"What ...... marry you?"

"Let's talk about it." She interrupted him, "I'm helping my dad take care of Zijin Fang right now, and I don't want to think about this for the time being." ”

"Just for my uncle and aunt?"

"Perhaps."

"Aside from this, what else is the reason why you can't promise me?"

She lowered her head and said the words that made her turn a thousand times: "In the future, if you meet someone who can make you more happy than me, you may not like me." ”

She turned and left, resolute with reluctance, reluctance with selfishness. She is not a person who is willing to give her whole heart and soul for love, she will weigh the pros and cons, she will look to the future, and if he can't start from the beginning, then she would rather never start.

"Xiaoxiao, don't you still understand my heart for you?" He stopped her, as if grasping at the last straw.

She stood in place in a daze for a long time before she said, "I only regard you as my good brother." ”

He looked at her departing back in amazement, full of incomprehension and resentment towards her. He was thinking, why are you so ruthless, I take care of you in every way, and you have always taken me to heart, haven't you? We're not brother and sister anymore, and your words are just stiff. What's going on in your mind?

What was going on in her mind, she was thinking about on the way home.

She is a tangled person, and sometimes likes to look ahead and worry about the future. She always likes to talk about the problems that may arise in the future, and she always makes things serious, putting the worst side in front of her, so that she has no room for maneuver, like a cocoon to bind herself.

"Bang bang bang!" Beautiful fireworks floated in the sky, one after another, and the sound resounded through the sky.

She shuffled down the sparsely populated alley, and suddenly looked back and saw no one, no one. She still had the luxury of expecting someone to chase after her, it was ridiculous, she lowered her head and laughed at herself.

She stopped, looked at the fireworks in the sky, and sighed: "Although the fireworks are beautiful, they are short-lived and fleeting. ”

She doesn't like things she can't have for a long time, and she treats people and things the same.

The Han Mansion was very hilarious, originally Han Tianlei and Guo Qianqian planned to go to the theater, but Master Han and Mrs. Han had already chartered the theater. Han Tianlei didn't want to have fun with his parents, so he didn't go to the theater, first took Guo Qianqian to Zuixianlou for a meal, and then went to Wanhu to accompany Guo Qianqian to put lanterns.

Han Tianlei felt bored, saying that she was already a married man, and she also learned what kind of lanterns other little girls put on. The little girl is looking for a lover, and her lover is in front of her, where to find it!

Guo Qianqian insisted on putting lanterns, saying that this is the custom of the Qiqiao Festival, how can the Qiqiao Festival without lanterns be regarded as the Qiqiao Festival. Han Tianlei couldn't screw her, so he could only let her.

Han Tianlei has been playing with Guo Qianqian. Guo Qianqian was tired of walking but refused to go home, begging Han Tianlei to carry her. Han Tianlei was very spoiled, and said that the husband wanted to save face and not carry a woman, but he couldn't bear Guo Qianqian's gentle words, so he still carried it.

Han Tianlei carried Guo Qianqian all the way back to Hanfu. Guo Qianqian said: "Xianggong, are you tired?" ”

"Do you think I'm tired?" He gasped.

"Of course I'm not tired."

"You."

Guo Qianqian put her arms around his neck and grinned.

After a while, she said again: "Alas, "The Legend of the West Chamber" has not been seen again. ”

"It's rare to go back to the Begging Festival, my father and mother are in the mood to go to the play, let's let them go, and I'll take you to see it when I'm free."

"Hmm." She lay on Han Tianlei's back, "I didn't expect your father and your mother to be like this." ”

"They're infected by us. The two of us ran to the theater twice in three days, and when we came back, we chatted non-stop, and they listened to it energetically. ”

"That's not because you, the storyteller, tell the story too well."

"Okay, okay, rely on me."

"It's up to you." She poked his finger in the head.

"Dare to poke me, see if I don't clean you up."

Her hand went around his neck and pinched his face hard: "I said that your eldest young master's temper can be changed?" ”

Han Tianlei didn't say anything, and carried Guo Qianqian into the Han Mansion and then into Du Ruoxuan. There was no one in the yard, and the maids went to see the fireworks and set off the lanterns.

Han Tianlei put Guo Qianqian on the ground, and then lay down on her beauty couch to rest. The courtyard was quite cool at night, and Han Tianlei smiled and turned his face to look at her: "Come here." ”

Guo Qianqian said angrily: "As soon as you return to the courtyard, you will snatch my beauty couch to sleep, young master, you will really enjoy it." ”

"If you don't mind, we can sleep together." He bent his elbows and said, "It's so comfortable." ”

Guo Qianqian puffed out her cheeks and stepped forward to pull him up. But her little strength was not enough to catch a chicken, and she couldn't pull her at all. With a backhand pull, he dragged her into his arms.

She tried to stand up, but he hugged her tightly.

"What are you doing? Beware of the maids seeing. She rubbed in his arms.

He pretended to be asleep, closed his eyes and didn't move.
