Yes, that time Luo Ju was walking around outside their house, still inquiring about him, and was later tied to a tree by him, and she personally came to rescue him. It was then that he learned that there was such an interesting person in the world, and then he inquired about her house and found the door. If she said this, she would be on top, after all, if she was someone else, she might not be so easy to talk to, and return Luo Ju to her!

Although he didn't know why his father knew this, he didn't dare not answer, but because Xie Wan had told him not to tell him about seeing her in Jingshi, he only said vaguely: "There is such a thing." ”

Hearing his reply, his expression didn't seem to be fake, and Wei Bin's expression relaxed by two points.

Because of the decision he had almost made, the guilt that swelled up in his heart made his tone soften, "How is this third girl?" ”

Hearing Xie Wan asked, Wei Xian immediately grinned without thinking about it and said, "Xiao San'er is very good!" But I was not the only one who praised her for all the shopkeepers and attendants under her, and not one of them was reluctant to stay with her. She is also very capable, and now she takes care of the middle feed in their second room! ”

Wei Bin was annoyed when he saw his son's proud appearance, he frowned and said, "I mean, is she a scheming and elusive person!" ”

"She's not elusive!" Wei Xian's eyes widened, as if he had heard something fantastical, "Although Xiao San'er doesn't talk much, and she looks a little cold, she has never hurt anyone!" Yes, she's smarter than everyone else, but that doesn't mean she's a bad person! And usually she says whatever she has. He never speaks ill of people behind his back.

"She's just a little lazy, though. I like soft couches and don't like sports. That doesn't seem like a good idea! ”

I remembered how many times I saw her lazily nestled in the soft couch. Like a lazy kitten, he unconsciously floated a little doting smile.

When Wei Bin saw his stupid appearance, he felt more and more hopeless.

When Wei Bin returned to the room, Wu Xing immediately returned to Yifeng Courtyard.

When he told the conversation between the Wei family's father and son, Xie Wan immediately felt speechless. When did she lazy? I was lying on the soft couch for a few days, but it was because I had boils on my feet, it was inconvenient to walk, and it was inconvenient to tell people, so I didn't move. How did you become lazy? She wakes up early every day to read in the morning. He can't get up yet.

Yuxue looked at her tense face and knew that she was not really angry, but it was because Cheng Yuan's errand went smoothly that she had this leisure. So he also smiled and said: "When Lord Wei and his son inquire about our girl, why is it like a father-in-law and daughter-in-law?" ”

Next to him, Wu's mother and Wu Xing also looked at each other and laughed.

Xie Wan was not interested in participating in such a boring topic, so he picked up a book and strode out of the threshold.

In the past two days, Xie Rong really accompanied Wei Bin from morning to night, either strolling in the back garden to enjoy the scenery, or making tea around the stove and talking about the art of article making. Or walk around in Qinghe County and observe the livelihood of the people. Wei Bin didn't go out of Beijing for any decent reason, so except for the people from Xie Mansion, no one knew that he came to Qinghe. Even if someone hears about it in private, they will naturally only pretend not to know, so as not to offend the official authority.

Wei Bin didn't make a decision for a day. Wei Xian couldn't feel at ease for a day.

Especially when he saw that Wei Bin and Xie Rong were getting more and more harmonious, he couldn't sit still anymore.

"Xie Bianxiu is not a simple person. In case he convinces my father, it's over! I'm only fourteen years old, and I haven't been to a lot of places. I haven't done a lot of things, how can I be trapped in marriage now? I can't imagine you playing freely while I'm ready to be someone else's husband! ”

Xie Wan listened to his desperate tone, raised his eyes from the book, and said, "Is it because you haven't played enough, so you don't want to engage with the eldest girl, or because of the eldest girl herself, you refuse to engage in this family business?" ”

"Both!" He looked up at him, his eyes wide open, "I want to play for a few more years, and wait until I am seventeen or eighteen years old to discuss marriage, and I don't want to marry someone who is so high that I can't catch it." Although your eldest girl is dignified and generous, she is too similar to the official wives I have seen, I don't like it! It would be nice if I saw her in the future and didn't run away! ”

Xie Wan glanced at him and then turned his gaze back to the book, and said slowly: "Then what's the matter with you nesting with me all day long?" I can't sway Ling Zun's thoughts. ”

Wei Xian sighed, stood up with his hands spread out and said, "Isn't it just that I have nowhere to complain and have nowhere to say, so I can only come to you to vent." After saying that, he walked up to her again and said solemnly, "Aren't you worried at all?" In case Mr. Cheng doesn't impress my father, I will most likely become your brother-in-law! ”

Xie Wan closed the book and looked at him speechlessly: "What's wrong with my brother-in-law?" Won't I have a brother-in-law after all? ”

"That's just as well." Wei Xian frowned and nodded, pondering melancholy: "But in that case, I won't be able to come to you anytime and anywhere in the future, and if I'm in trouble, it's inconvenient to ask you to help me - alas, I still can't do this, I think it's better for you to find someone else to be your brother-in-law!" ”

Xie Wan leaned back in his chair and looked at him with his arms crossed and his teeth bared, "According to what you say, then I think it's better for you to be my brother-in-law." At the very least, I won't have to clean up the mess for you from now on. ”

Wei Xian's face collapsed when he heard this, and he fell on the brocade mat with a wail.

In a flash, Wei Bin has been in the house for five days, and at most the day after tomorrow, he should return to Beijing on leave.

After dinner, he turned down Xie Qigong's invitation, changed into civilian clothes and went out.

After pacing along the verandah for a while, Chen Shifeng said suspiciously: "Where are you going, my lord?" ”

Wei Bin looked calm and said, "Just go around." ”

This casual walk walked to the outside of Yifeng Courtyard. Wei Bin glanced at the plaque on the lintel, and said to Chen Shifeng: "I heard that this Xie Lang is also quite talented, especially good at poetry, I have been talking about the art of making with Xie Editor in the past two days, and I am also a little tired, we will meet him when we go in." ”

Chen Shifeng paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly, and said: "It is said that this Xie Lang is the most outstanding one among the grandchildren of Xie Mansion. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the courtyard gate one after the other.

Xie Wan and Xie Lang had dinner and were eating tea in the flower hall, when Wu Xing suddenly walked in from outside the door in surprise: "Young master, girl, Lord Wei is here!" ”

Xie Lang immediately put down the tea bowl and stood up: "Where is it?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was already a humane outside the door: "My lord! ”

Xie Lang hurriedly brushed his clothes and went out. Xie Wanluo also steadily stepped out of the threshold.

Wei Bin only took Chen Shifeng with him, standing under the porch in regular clothes, looking leisurely. He glanced at Xie Lang, who bowed and bowed, and then brushed his beard and said, "No need to be polite." Turning his head half a step behind him, Xie Wan's eyes were not as soft as Xie Lang, but with three points of sternness and seven points of consideration.

Xie Wan hung his head still, his face as calm as ever.

In her past and present lives, she has been scrutinized enough, and she has already cultivated the ability to be safe and comfortable no matter what kind of gaze she is.

Xie Lang also noticed that Wei Bin's gaze seemed to be targeted, and his sister's heart spontaneously arose, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency, please sit in the house." "While calling Yinzhuo," go and bring the purple sand tea set in the study, and then pour the jar of silver quill. ”

Wei Bin entered the door with his hands in his hands, looked around, and sat down in the guest seat.

Xie Lang invited Chen Shifeng to sit down under Wei Bin, and he stood aside with his hands down.

Wei Bin said: "Today, the old man is not an official, he just walks around normally, so he doesn't have to be so restrained. ”

Chen Shifeng said with a smile: "We adults heard that the second son has an elegant personality and is involved in piano, chess, poetry and fu, so we came here. The second son and the third girl, please sit down. ”

Xie Lang always felt that he didn't have good intentions because Wei Bin stared at Xie Wan like that, so he hurriedly said: "My sister has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, and the female generation is not involved in poetry and books, so as not to laugh and be generous here, it is better to go down to Zhang Luo for refreshments." ”

Chen Shifeng glanced at Xie Wan meaningfully, and said with a smile: "The child's heart to protect his younger sister is touching. However, I learned from our son-in-law that the third girl was not only very good at reading, but also had a lot of hills and valleys in her chest. Our adults have always loved talents and respected the virtuous, and today's visit is just for idle talk, why should the son hide the pearl and hide the elegance of Ling Mei? ”

Hearing this, Xie Wan didn't understand anything anymore. Wei Bin didn't come here this time, nor did he discuss any poetry with Xie Lang, they actually came to her under such a high-sounding guise.

And the reason why they came to her was naturally related to the trip that Cheng Yuan went.

Thinking of this, her mood suddenly relaxed, since Wei Bin came to her in person, it can be seen that she is really moved by Cheng Yuan's words, and Xie Rong's companionship in the past few days has obviously not completely conquered his heart defense. Who in the officialdom doesn't have a few more eyes? Only through Cheng Yuan's message, Wei Xian described that he could not finally make up his mind to reject Xie Rong, so he needed to come over to find out.

Since this matter is related to the final outcome of the whole thing, her heart is steady.

She said: "Thanks to the love of the adults, the women of the people are not talented, and they are willing to stay and listen to the teachings of the adults. After speaking, she looked at Wei Bin with a smile, "Since it is about poetry and Taoism, it is better to invite Mr. Cheng over, so that a hundred schools of thought will contend, and it will be lively." ”

Wei Bin heard her words, and immediately looked at Chen Shifeng. She was able to offer to invite Cheng Yuan over, obviously she already understood their intentions, was she showing that she was really a little smart, or was she really valuing the purpose of his visit?

Chen Shifeng received his gaze, and muttered in his heart, the little girl in front of him has always been so down-and-out since she appeared in front of them, it stands to reason that she has lived in the countryside for a long time, and she should not be flustered about the sudden arrival of the Beijing official, and she should show a little shyness, but she is good, as if the person who came is just the uncle next door, very ordinary.

Thinking of Cheng Yuan's push-backs on her, he was also interested in her, so he nodded slightly at Wei Bin, and then smiled and bowed: "If you have Mr. Cheng as a companion, it will naturally be beautiful." (To be continued.) )
