Obviously, he was full of despair just now, thinking that his fate with Shangguan Yan in this life was over, and he didn't know when he would see each other one day. But now the eldest sister suddenly said that she was pulling the strings! The adventures of life are truly wonderful!

Covering his excited heart, Baili Jun forcibly endured his restlessness and said in the voice that was as quiet as possible, "Everything...... All listen to the arrangement of the eldest sister. ”

The corners of her mouth were relentlessly hooked, and there was bloodthirsty cruelty in Baili Lan's smile. It's a pity that the shy Baili Jun didn't see all this.

The rain outside became heavier and heavier, and Dian Hai had no choice but to park the carriage outside an old abandoned house, and everyone jumped out of the carriage and went in to escape the rain.

Shaking off the water droplets on his hair, Xiao Bao said loudly, "With this little rain, you don't have to delay your journey because of this." ”

Poked Xiaobao's head, Baili Lan said with a lazy expression, "Do you think everyone is like you, like a fat and strong little donkey?" Look at your fourth sister, her lips are white from the cold. ”

Baili Lan didn't say it, Xiaobao really didn't notice that the fourth sister was trembling. Hurriedly hugging her waist, Xiaobao said, "Fourth sister, are you cold?" Xiaobao will keep you warm. ”

Smiling comfortingly at Xiaobao, Bailijun shook his head and said, "I'm fine, it's just that the weather here is a little unsuitable, and it will be fine in a while." ”

"Fourth Miss, the slave maid will make a fire for you to keep warm. The weather here is humid and cold, and if you are used to the Jiangnan climate, you will definitely not get used to it. Chunfeng Jiao smiled and took out the fire fold, lit a pile of firewood and grass, and then helped Bailijun to sit close to the fire.

The warm light of the fire reflected on Bailijun's face, gradually dyeing it with color, not so pale and weak.

Xiaobao also leaned over and rubbed his hands, sighed, and said, "Oh, it's still warm by the fire!" "Eldest sister, you also sat down!

"I'm not cold." Bai Lilan said lightly, and then sat alone in the window seat, letting the wind mess up her hair.

Looking at such a dilapidated environment, Baili Lan still has an excellent demeanor, and Bai Lijun has some bad feelings in his heart. As his eyes flowed, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.

"Childe, there is a place to shelter from the rain, come in and shelter from the rain!" While he was talking, a thin young man in a green shirt ran in first. It didn't seem that there would be people here, and when he saw Baili Lan and the others, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Then the man who came strode into the house, stretched out his hand to flick the rain on his clothes, and said casually, "You kid can run fast, and there are still some things that are afraid of watering soon, so go and carry them in!" After saying it for a long time, he didn't see his little guy reacting, the man frowned and raised his head, and was about to reprimand, when he happened to see the people who were roasting the fire, he was also stunned, and then smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here." ”

Bai Lilan wanted to snort coldly, but thinking that she had promised Bai Lijun to be a matchmaker for her, if the current disgust was too obvious, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so she had to turn her head to the other side and not look at him.

"Yes, it's a coincidence, it turns out that Shangguan Gongzi also left today." Bailijun stood up excitedly and beckoned to his side, "It's cold outside, so come over and bake the fire." ”

It turned out that the man who came in at this moment was Shangguan Yan.

Nodding politely to Baili Jun in thanks, Shangguan Yan's eyes looked at Bai Lilan. It's a pity that the rain outside the window seems to be more attractive than Shangguan Yan, so Bai Lilan didn't cast a glance here. Knowing that Baili Lan was wary of herself, Shangguan Yan didn't touch the nail, sat quietly beside Bai Lijun, thanked her implicitly, and asked them about their trip by the way.

"We're going to Dadu! What about Shangguan Gongzi, where are you going? ”

Shangguan Yan showed an unbelievable expression, and then said with a smile, "It's a coincidence, I'm also going to Dadu." Relatives at home were doing business over there and asked me to come over and help. I was supposed to go after the Spring Festival, but I was really not interested in business, and I had to go on the road until now. ”

"Shangguan Gongzi looks polite, more like a scholar, and indeed not like a businessman." Seeing that Shangguan Yan was willing to talk to him, Baili Jun's heart was about to jump out. She really didn't expect that the dream she had had in Ma's house for a year would come true on this rainy day, in this dilapidated house!

Shangguan Yan smiled gently, and touched the tip of his nose again, looking a little unconfident. This childish action made Bailijun's heart moved, "My family also says the same about me." It's just that the relatives really can't push it off. It was my uncle, who had no heirs to inherit the family business, and who had been in poor health for the last few years, so he wanted me to take over and give him a breath. ”

In fact, Bailijun really wanted to ask if Shangguan Yan's family could marry a wife. But she really couldn't ask that. wanted the eldest sister to help ask, but Baili Lan kept looking out the window and couldn't make eye contact. The eagerness in his heart made Baili Jun bite his lips tightly, not knowing what to do.

Xiaobao had been observing Shangguan Yan from the side. This man does have a warm smile, but his eyes are very cold, although there is a smile hidden on it, it can only make people feel fake. His eyes were looking at the fourth sister, but the corners of his eyes glanced at the eldest sister from time to time. These strange places made Xiaobao not like him, just sat on the sidelines and looked at them without scruples.

Feeling the gaze of the people around him, Shangguan Yan turned around and said with a smile, "This kid is really cute, is it your brother?" ”

"Well, his name is ......"

"Fourth sister, there is no fire here, shall we let Chunfeng go out to find some firewood?" Bailijun just wanted to call out Xiaobao's name, but he didn't want Xiaobao to call out first.

Startled by this sudden voice, Baili Jun looked at Xiaobao with disgust and said, "It's still raining outside, where is the firewood?" If you feel cold, come and sit closer. As he spoke, he beckoned to Xiaobao.

With his eyes rolling, Xiaobao jumped and sat between Baili Jun and Shangguan Yan, and said with a smile, "It's the warmest here, Xiaobao wants to sit here!" ”

Looking at the little adult next to him, Shangguan Yan smiled helplessly. Bailijun also smiled lightly. It's just that her smile is somewhat reluctant.

Maybe they were tired, but everyone quieted down at the same time, quietly inside the broken house, and could only hear the rain outside. Slowly, the rain slowed down, and the air was moist and refreshing with the smell of earth.

Taking a deep breath, Xiaobao stretched out his arm and sighed, "It's finally going to be sunny." Eldest sister, are we going to continue on our way? ”

"Well, Dianhai, go and bring the carriage over." Baili Lan got up and threw herself on the dirt on her body at will, her movements were neat and crisp, not at all like ordinary ladies, who screamed when they touched dirty things.

Seeing that Baili Lan had a move, everyone stood up one after another, packing up the things that should be packed, and preparing the things that should be prepared. Seeing that everyone was like this, Bailijun also reluctantly got up, afraid that his appearance would be untidy, so he hurriedly reached out and pounced on the blades of grass stained on his skirt. Seeing that Shangguan Yan had no intention of leaving, he asked, "Isn't Childe on the road?"

"No, we have a lot of things with us, and I'm afraid that the horses won't be able to bear it, so let the horses rest a little more and go on the road before it gets dark."

"It's panicked here, and I hope Childe can take care!" Bailijun deliberately put the word "panic" very seriously, hoping that Shangguan Yan could think of something. It's a pity that seeing Shangguan Yan's clear and waveless eyes, Baili Jun could only follow behind Baili Lan in disappointment and reluctantly walked out of the house.

And from beginning to end, Baili Lan didn't say a word to Shangguan Yan and give him a look.

After walking far, Bai Lijun timidly said to Bai Lilan, "Eldest sister, what do you think of this person?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Biting his lip, Baili Jun said shyly, "That's it, as a good person, how is he?" ”

Smiling contemptuously, Bai Lilan said mercilessly, "This kind of person, his eyes are full of calculations and the desire for power, love? I'm afraid there is no money to come! ”

His face turned pale, and Baili Jun said with some sorrow, "That eldest sister, are you still planning to promise me to him?" ”

"It's not up to me to say this, it also depends on whether he has a wife in the family. If not, you can marry her, after all, he can keep you food and clothing worry-free. But if you are already married, then give up, how can the young lady of Dingnan Wangfu be small. ”

Hearing Bai Lilan say this, Bai Lijun was relieved, and a sparkling smile appeared on his face again.

***

On the next journey, I don't know if Shangguan Yan did it on purpose, and the people on the two sides did not meet again. Baili Jun was a little anxious, because they could be said to know nothing about Shangguan Yan except for their names. Even if they are in Dadu, finding him is like looking for a needle in the sea. Bailijun regretted it a little, if only he could be cheeky at that time and ask his address.

Seeing Bai Lijun's worried appearance, Bai Lilan comforted her and said, "Anyway, this is the only way to go to most of the cities, and you will encounter it sooner or later." And what you are anxious about, it is yours, sooner or later it will be yours, I promised you, and it will not be disappointed. ”

Listening to Baili Lan say so easily, Bai Lijun was a little relieved, and he spent every day in anticipation and silently.

It wasn't until everyone came to Xiangcheng, the closest city to Dadu, that they reunited with Shangguan Yan again. Counting the time, there are exactly twenty days.

Seeing that most of them were in sight, the people who had been hurrying for days couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh, this Nanzhao is really a vast area, it has been twenty days, and it has only taken four towns to get out. I heard from the local Abel that these four towns are still the smallest towns in Nanzhao. After the capital, that is the real big city. ”

"Even if it's a big city, it's not as good as our Bac Ninh." Xia Yu said proudly, "Let's just say that the houses I saw along the way are really simple, which is like our Beining, magnificent and beautiful!" In such a comparison, Nanzhao is more like a small country household, while Bac Ninh is a wealthy squire! ”

Xia Yu said proudly, but the spring breeze provoked her trouble, "The two don't seem to be much different." Stupid Xia Yu, let you read more books on weekdays, but you just don't listen to it, and make jokes all day long. ”
