Cui Yi nodded, got up and went downstairs.

Just walked a few steps, and met Zheng Yuan, who was carrying a skirt and taking the maidservant Tingting upstairs, and Cui Ning who followed closely behind her.

Seeing him, Zheng Yuan's dignified face showed a warm smile: "Qilang, where are you going?" ”

Cui Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Zheng Yuan to come to the pawnshop in person, he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and it took a long time before he said: "Yes, it's Yuan Niang, why did you come here." And A-Ning, this place is mixed, it's not a place for your lady to come, if there is nothing to do, let's go back to the house quickly. ”

Although he doesn't have any ill feelings towards Zheng Yuan, sometimes he feels that she is much better than those little ladies who can only flutter butterflies and enjoy flowers, twisting and pinching, but he knows that his fifth brother doesn't feel like this, he can see clearly, the fifth brother looks at Zheng Yuan's gaze, and looks at the group of chattering Lu family ladies who came to Cui Mansion as guests in the past, there is no difference, naturally he doesn't want to see her here.

Cui Ning pouted and said angrily: "Seventh brother, we came to see you and the fifth brother, why did you want to drive us back." ”

Zheng Yuan pursed her lips and smiled gently: "I asked someone to make a white dragon and sent it to you and Linlang to taste while it was hot, if you are not in a hurry, it is better to use some and then go to work." ”

She turned around and took the food box from the handmaid, and personally carried it forward and looked at Cui Yi with a smile, as if she were her own family, without any foreign meaning.

Cui Yi glanced at the food box, as well as Zheng Yuan's gentle smile, he was about to agree according to his habit, but when he thought of Cui Lin's cold face, he shook his head again: "I still have something to do, let's go first, fifth brother, he's afraid he's also busy, it's better to ......"

The smile on Zheng Yuan's face suddenly darkened: "It's so unfortunate that Linlang can't be empty, can't he see us?" ”

She bit her lip and lowered her head, and said softly: "But he likes Bailongzhen the most, this is the fresh mandarin fish I asked people to buy at Xihe Wharf early in the morning, it is very rare......"

Cui Ning looked at Zheng Yuan's disappointed look, and suddenly said angrily: "I'll go and tell the fifth brother, can't you even see us?" This was prepared by Yuan Niang early in the morning, and it took so much thought that she couldn't see it or see it. ”

She dragged Cui Yi's hand again, stomped her feet and said: "Seventh brother also stay, taste it and then leave, you can't waste a piece of Yuanniang's heart, otherwise I will tell A-Niang that the seventh brother is bullying me again!" ”

Cui Yi seems to be indulgent, but he can't do anything with Cui Ning, on weekdays, Mrs. Cui is used to Cui Ning, and Cui Yi has no choice but to indulge her, this time is no exception, so he can only frown and say: "That's it, that's it, I'll just go in with you." ”

But let Xiaoyuan pass the word in, and when he entered the private room, even Cui Ning, who had always been arrogant, restrained a little willfulness and followed behind Zheng Yuan with low eyebrows.

Only Zheng Yuan's expression was as usual, looking at Cui Lin, who was sitting coldly and indifferently behind the desk and never raised his head, with a charming smile: "Linlang, I made a white dragon in the morning, thinking that you have never been back to the mansion over there for a while, but I am afraid that you will not be used to the food in Chang'an, so I sent it over, and prepared one for you and Qilang, let's try it if it suits your appetite." ”

Her bright eyes were full of unquenchable affection, and she fell on Cui Lin with anticipation, hoping that he would be moved and accept her heart.

Cui Ning was pinching the handkerchief and flipping through the flowers boringly, but Cui Yi looked at Zheng Yuan's appearance and sighed lowly.

I'm afraid that Ayuan will be disappointed again.

Sure enough, Cui Lin put down the secret report in his hand, looked up at Zheng Yuan lightly, and said, "Thank you, lady, it's just that I'm not used to eating from others, so I don't have to." ”

With such a sentence, he lowered his head again, never looked at Zheng Yuan more, let alone looked at the food box in her hand, and refused without any disguise.

The smile on Zheng Yuan's face stiffened like cold wax, and it took a long time before he slowly lowered his eyes, faintly burst into tears, and said in a low voice: "Linlang, am I also someone else?" ”

The elders of the clan since she was a child told her that the Cui Zheng family will marry in the future, so that they can join forces and truly restore the glory of the family a hundred years ago, and the most outstanding Langjun and lady of the Cui Zheng family are Cui Lin and her, so naturally she will marry into the Cui family and marry him as a wife, which even the Cui family has acquiesced.

So over the years, she has been doing her best to plan for him, getting along well with the Cui family, and has been liked by Mrs. Cui and Cui Ning, and even the elders in the Cui family have praised her, but he is the only one who never wants to look at her more, even if she tries her best to get close to him, she is not cold and indifferent and rejects people thousands of miles away.

Just now, he even called her eldest lady, in his eyes, he will always be just a lady Zheng, not even Ayuan.

Cui Lin still didn't look up, but just asked Cui Yi: "You still don't go?" Have you found out? ”

Cui Yi was stunned, blinked, and hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go." "Turn around and leave, something like this fairy fight, something he doesn't want to do, he should go away as soon as possible, otherwise he will be caught by Cui Ning and targeted by the fifth brother will give him a headache.

Seeing that he didn't even pay attention to it, Zheng Yuan was a lady after all, her face was red, and she turned around and pulled Cui Ning with tears: "A-Ning, let's go, don't disturb Linlang's business." ”

Cui Ning couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward angrily, and plucked up the courage to say to Cui Lin: "Fifth brother, no matter what Yuan Niang said, she is also the one who wants to be engaged to you, how can you be so cold, she is so bothered for you!" ”

"A-Niang said that Yuanniang is the most virtuous and generous, and she thinks about you wholeheartedly, which is much better than the scheming Gu family lady who doesn't know her lowly status, fifth brother, don't be confused." Cui Ning's voice was originally soft, but the more he looked at Zheng Yuan's aggrieved appearance, he couldn't help but say in one go, "Fifth brother, don't associate with such a person, there is a difference between high and low, and associating with such a person will only ruin your identity." ”

She suddenly remembered that Gu Mingzhu was already the county lord, but she still looked disdainful: "Even if you become the county lord, you won't be able to get on the stage after all......"

She wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zheng Yuan: "Ah Ning, don't say it, the Lingling County Lord is not that kind of person, Linlang has always been calm and self-controlled, I believe that he has his own judgment and will not be easily deceived by others." ”

Her eyes were red, but she was still smiling, and her dignified expression in the past was now filled with a trace of pitiful fragility, and she gently raised her head and said to Cui Lin: "I think that A-Ning has some misunderstanding of Linlang and the Lingling County Lord, so I will take her back first, so I won't bother." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Cui Ning, who still refused to give up, and gently withdrew from the private room with the food box, and gently closed the door, leaving Cui Lin to sit alone in the private room.
