Chapter Forty-Eight: Before the Flower and Under the Moon
Shaohua felt that Wanhua was a little abnormal, she ate absent-mindedly at a meal, no matter how she said it, she should be depressed.
knew that Yan Kaizhi was in Zhuangzi, but she was managed by Wanhua even to take a second look, and she was holding back a fire in her heart. Yu Guang saw Wanhua holding a book in his hand, but he stopped at the same page for a long time, looking out the window in a daze.
"Third sister, what are you thinking?" Shaohua walked over and gave her a gentle nudge, startling Wanhua.
"Do what?" Wanhua asked nervously.
Shaohua frowned, "This is what I asked you, you have been absent-minded since you just eaten, do you have something on your mind?" "And eight or nine is not far from ten, it must be related to Wei Chi. After all, the Ling family had always wanted to get involved with the Wei family before, but it was not as active as going to the Fan family, and the discerning eye could also see that the Ling family had this intention.
Perhaps no one expected that they would meet here. When Wanhua wanted to go to Youhuangxuan to find Li Sinian, before he left the second door, he collided with Wei Chi. Fortunately, Wei Chi's eyes were quick and he pulled her back, and Wanhua was startled and hurriedly retreated. But when she looked at it, the person in front of her was none other than someone who almost became her husband. Wei Chi also recognized her at a glance, it was rare to see Wanhua so closely, and the whole person was stunned.
"Sanniang......" As soon as Wei Chi spoke, he heard Song Yu's voice shouting behind him, he didn't think about it, he turned around and left.
Wanhua hadn't come back to his senses yet, and when he saw him turn around and leave, he suddenly felt an indescribable depression in his heart. Before Fan Erlang appeared, she thought that she would marry the Wei family in the end, so she inquired very clearly about Wei Chi in all aspects. His personality, his character, and his preferences are all carefully recorded. However, time has passed, and the two people who have been unable to walk together suddenly bumped into each other, and suddenly there was only indescribable embarrassment.
"Did Wei Saburo tell you something?" Shaohua asked cautiously, but he didn't expect to get Wanhua's frightened eyes, and then got up and cleaned up the table. "No, I didn't say anything, it's not early, Qi Niang and they should have slept too, let's go to bed early." Shaohua and Wanhua are in the same room, while Jinhua and Yansui are in the next room. After dinner and a few words, the two went back to the house.
Shaohua was speechless at Wanhua's move of not having three hundred taels of silver here, since she was not willing to say it, she couldn't force it anymore. Wanhua and Ling's temperament are similar, they will change the topic when they are weak-minded, and they will turn their faces when they are in a hurry. Thinking that no matter what Wei Chi and Wanhua said, there was no possibility between them, Shaohua decided not to pursue the details anymore.
What she is more concerned about is how to persuade Wanhua tomorrow to let her go out of the Splendid Garden. It's rare to meet Yan Kaizhi outside the city, doesn't this mean that there is a fate between them, maybe it's because of her concerted wish that day that it worked. Ling said that the charm of Guoan Temple is the most spiritual, so he specially asked for a peace charm for her to carry with her. On that day, Shaohua wrapped his hair and Yan Kaizhi's hair with red thread, wrapped them in a peace charm, and silently thought in his heart that if she could see Yan Kaizhi again, she would go to the temple on the first day of the next month to make incense. Although she was an ungodly believer, she didn't expect the Bodhisattva to hear her vow and let her see it so soon.
When Shaohua was tossing and turning on the bed and thinking about how to make a wish with the Bodhisattva and make a wish to get married, Wanhua had already fallen asleep and was drunk.
Suddenly heard a squeak, as if the doors and windows were opened, Shaohua was excited, and the whole person turned over and sat up. In the faint moonlight, a figure was seen tiptoeing past the door and then slipping in the direction of the stairs. Shaohua was shocked, and hurriedly pushed Wanhua, but Wanhua fell asleep deeply, she muttered, turned over and continued to sleep.
She hesitated, put on her coat, and hurried after her, but the figure had already run downstairs and disappeared into the night.
Shaohua was beating a drum in her heart, and she couldn't see who it was from the window shadow, if it was Yan Sui, she must have secretly run to find Si Yan. But what is unsightly has to be so late at night, not to mention that there are still outsiders now, in case you accidentally bump into it, it will not be good. It's just that if it is not Yan Sui who runs out, it is Jinhua.
Thinking of the identities of those people in the outer courtyard, Shaohua's heart immediately sank. Although Jinhua is the youngest, but her heart is the biggest, no matter what the reason, letting her stay in Xiyuan obediently does not mean that she can be a man with her tail between her legs from now on. For the sake of the Liu family, she can please Yan Sui and get close to Yichen under the noses of so many people, not to mention that she has a bigger goal now.
Suddenly, Shaohua really hoped that it was Yan Sui who ran out, at least not to cause trouble.
"Guess who is outside, the second young master won't let us out." Shaohua avoided the corner and secretly avoided the maid who was patrolling the night.
"I don't know, anyway, if you don't let you out, don't go out randomly, the old lady is not here, the second young master is the biggest here." Another lesson.
Seeing a figure take advantage of the maid's inattention, quickly ran out of the shadows and slipped out of the Splendid Garden, Shaohua almost shouted. Thinking that if the maids knew, it would inevitably alarm the people in the outer courtyard, and then her face would be embarrassed, she didn't think about it, and she took advantage of the maid's departure and slipped out of the Splendid Garden.
But the shadow of the moon was hazy, and there was no light, but a pool of lake water was slightly phosphorescent. I don't know how she slipped away so fast, she couldn't see anyone in the blink of an eye, although Yan Shangju was not big, it was not easy to walk in the dark. The more Shaohua distracted, the more panicked she became, thinking that it would be better if she went back, but if something really happened anyway, she couldn't stop her.
Thinking so in his heart, he turned around and hit a wall of flesh well.
"Who!" She didn't meet half a figure all the way around, how could she suddenly appear behind her, and she didn't know. Suddenly, his heart jumped, his back was cold, and goosebumps appeared all over his body, Shaohua didn't think about it, he raised his foot and kicked at the other party. Fortunately, she insisted on getting up every morning to practice, even if she was not as agile as before, compared to the delicate and gentle lady, Shaohua was also an iron lady.
Hearing a muffled snort, Shaohua knew that he had hit the other party's sore spot, and he didn't dare to fight, for fear of being discovered, so he turned around and fled. But before he could run a few steps, he immediately made people twist like a chick and screw his collar. She was shocked, and tears were about to fall out of her eyes.
"Presumptuous!" Shaohua has never been so scared for a moment as he is now, so frightened that his voice trembled, "Quick, let go, I'm the fifth lady!" ”
"Is that you?" Hearing Shaohua's crying, Yan Kaizhi put her down. "Three watches in the middle of the night, what are you hanging out with a lady?" As soon as Shaohua's feet touched the ground, he immediately sat down on the ground in fright.
He thought that Jinxiuyuan had been robbed, and he didn't dare to alarm the others, so he quietly followed behind. What he never expected was that the other party still had a little trick, although the strength was not enough, but in the dark, he could kick the weakness of his leg, and ordinary people had already been kicked to the ground.
And what he didn't expect was that this person would actually be Shaohua.
When did the Li family of the scholarly family also teach the lady to practice martial arts?
"How could it be you?" Shaohua looked up at the condescending Yan Kaizhi, and his heart beat even harder. I don't know if I was scared or nervous, but I finally got up from the ground, but my feet trembled uncontrollably.
"That's what I asked you! This is the direction of the outer courtyard, in the middle of the night, your little lady is not resting in the room, what are you doing in the outer courtyard? Yan Kaizhi looked at the girl in front of him with a flustered expression, inexplicably felt unhappy, and snorted coldly: "If Li Tanhua knows, I'm afraid he will be very sad." ”
Shaohua didn't know what Yan Kaizhi meant, she opened her mouth, hesitated, and didn't dare to say that she ran out after someone. "I just can't sleep, and when I go out for a walk, I'm going back, and you're going to come out and be scared."
"A weak heart will only be frightened." Yan Kaizhi said coldly.
Originally, he was shocked, and when he saw his sweetheart, he didn't have time to rejoice, but when he heard the other party's cold words, Shaohua suddenly felt very aggrieved.
"Then what are you doing when you run to the garden in the middle of the night, don't you know that the back is the splendid garden where the lady lives? This garden is my family, I love to come out in the middle of the night to wander around, can't I? What's the point if you come to someone else's house for some reason, and you come out to be scary! Shaohua held back a resentment and spit it out all his brains, both aggrieved and sad, and was ready to listen to his scolding.
However, suddenly he chuckled, "I thought you really stuttered." ”
Shaohua was stunned for a moment, watching him bend the corners of his mouth, raise a good-looking arc, and unconsciously froze in place.
Rao is night was hazy, Yan Kaizhi was still a little embarrassed by Shaohua's blazing gaze, and he coughed deliberately. turned around, turned his back to Shaohua, and said stiffly: "Okay, hurry back to the house, I'll guard it for you, don't let others find out." He just took care of Hongyi and the others, and when he returned to the house, he felt that he couldn't sleep, so he went out for a walk. But not far from the yard, he found a petite figure sneaky, and he immediately chased after it.
But he didn't expect that he would disappear without a trace, so he didn't dare to disturb Hongyi's rest, so he asked the guards to put away the doors and windows everywhere and run out to find it himself. Unexpectedly, he met Shaohua in the garden, at first he thought that the figure who ran to the outer courtyard was Shaohua, but judging from Shaohua's posture of reaching out and making a move, the shadow looked delicate, and it was completely different from Shaohua. Yan Kaizhi's heart was only a little more settled, but looking at her flustered expression, she still couldn't help but be angry, which lady would come out in the middle of the night to wander.
As soon as he said it, he felt a little remorseful, and he was inexplicably angry. And Shaohua's menacing retort made him cry and laugh, whether it was this fierce tone, or the ruthless move just now, or the panicked appearance last time, none of them made him connect with Li Gelao's granddaughter.
"Why don't you leave?" After not making a sound for a long time, Yan Kaizhi turned around and saw that she was still standing in place, his face was a little unhappy.
Shaohua was stunned, thinking of his unscrupulous words just now, he blushed, and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute, this is back to you, you took the wrong one last time." Yan Kaizhi took out the sachet from his arms, handed it to Shaohua, and then sighed: "Go back quickly, the night is cold, if your brother knows, he will definitely count you." I thought to myself, it's good that Laneige wasn't so bold, otherwise he would have to teach him a lesson.
No longer waiting for Shaohua to leave, he turned around and left.
