Chapter 23: The Summer Palace
Yan Xiaxuan smiled slightly, and put the document bag that she had been holding in her hand on the table in front of Yan Yongning.
"Dad, please take a look."
Yan Yongning picked up the document bag, looked at him suspiciously, and then took out the documents inside.
The more I looked at him, the tighter his brow furrowed.
Yan Xiaxuan looked at his father's expression, and the corners of his lips curled.
"How can it be!" Yan Yongning angrily threw the document on the table, shocked and angry: "How is this possible? ”
Yan Xiaxuan said: "Dad, things are more serious than you imagined. ”
Yan Yongning paced a few steps in place, and the Sichuan character on his brow could almost kill a fly.
For a long time, Yan Yongning seemed to be very tired, and he said to Yan Xiaxuan: "You go down." ”
Yan Xiaxuan looked at his father's tired appearance, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then turned to leave.
Yan Yongning sat in the room for a long time, then picked up the document and flipped through it.
After a while, the third aunt walked in with tea.
Seeing Yan Yongning sitting in her seat, she muttered in her heart: This little second is really powerful, the old man is so powerful in this weather, he almost wanted to kill him to vent his anger before, this little second only went in for a while, and the old man's anger seemed to disappear.
She walked over, put the tray down, and whispered, "Master? ”
Yan Yongning looked at her, then reached out and rubbed the corners of his forehead.
The third aunt walked up behind him and gently rubbed it for him.
"What do you say about this kid Xia Xuan?" Yan Yongning asked suddenly.
The third aunt said: "He has always been an idea-minded and capable, but he always makes you angry." ”
Yan Yongning sighed: "Yes, he doesn't listen to me and has his own ideas, but his ideas are all right," he paused, "Am I really old?" ”
"Master, don't say that, you are still in your prime, where will you be old?"
Yan Yongning said: "Xia Xuan's eyes are vicious, and he is more ruthless than I was back then. ”
"That's it, I should rest and rest, and he will take care of all these things."
*
It's been two days, and Luo Zhen is staying in Luo Mansion.
She has sent someone to the Xinghua Pear Garden to take a look in the past two days, and the news she brought back is that Feng Ya is safe and sound, and she is relieved.
It's not that she didn't want to go and see it herself, but she didn't want her father to be angry anymore, so she didn't go home until it was dark that day.
Luo Fuzhou asked, Luo Zhen didn't want to deceive him, so he told him the ins and outs of the future.
Luo Fuzhou's face was serious, and after listening to her words, he said to her: "Don't do this in the future." ”
Luo Zhen didn't say anything more, just nodded.
Luo Fuzhou heard the maid say that Luo Zhen was staying in his room, thinking that he was busy with official business these days, and he didn't have time to pay attention to her.
Thinking of what Luo Zhen said two days ago, he frowned and pondered.
At this moment, Xia Yingban suddenly walked in and greeted him. When Luo Fuzhou saw him, he suddenly thought of something.
He originally called Xia Yingsaka for something, but now he has other ideas and wants him to do something else.
"Xiao Xia, you don't have anything to do today, right?"
Xia Yingban looked up at him and said, "It's nothing." ”
"Well, today is bright, it is a rare weather in winter, although it is still cold, but it is close to the Spring Festival, and there are many people who travel."
Xia Yingban was stunned, not knowing what he was going to do.
"I heard that there are a lot of people going out to play in the Summer Palace outside Xizhi Gate, why don't you go for a walk with her, let others follow me and I don't worry, you are protecting Zhen'er to the Summer Palace, you happen to have a lot of things recently, it's easy to be empty, why don't you go out for a walk."
Xia Yingban was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
So Luo Zhen and Xia Yingban got in the car and went all the way to Xizhimen.
When he arrived at the main road, Luo Zhen was really stunned, and on the road outside the Xizhi Gate, all kinds of cars, rickshaws, donkey carts, and carriages came and went, which was very lively. The crowd flocked on the way, rubbing shoulders and bustling.
It's really an indescribable traffic, with fragrant clothes and sideburns.
Among this group of people, Luo Zhen found that there were actually richly dressed sons and buddies riding high-headed horses, running on the road, light shirts and side hats, whipping plum blossoms, witnessing the neighing of horses, the appearance was very chic, but Luo Zhen was very worried that the horse would meet passers-by.
After all, their cars are a bit congested on this road, not to mention the horses.
Today's weather is really not very cold, because it is going to be the New Year, so it is full of New Year's flavor, there are all kinds of stalls on the road, and there are even more books here than she saw that day.
Whether it is poor or rich, everyone is dressed in red, and it is a festive scene.
Because at first glance in this crowd, the most conspicuous thing was those on horseback, so Luo Zhen couldn't help but be attracted by those who rode horses.
Suddenly, her gaze froze.
There is a man in front of him, sitting on a snow-white horse, wearing a royal blue silk camel hair robe, covered with a pile of blue satin horse coats, he is holding the horse reins in his right hand, and holding a Xiangzhu Lake silk snow whip in his left hand, which is very conspicuous in the crowd.
His two patent leather shoes, stepping on the horse's pedals, clamped the horse's belly, raised the whip, and rode down the jade dragon white horse running fast.
"Is that him?" Luo Zhen muttered softly.
Xia Yingban also saw the man: "Yan Xiaxuan, why is he here?" ”
Luo Zhen saw him for the first time without a military uniform, but his body was not thick, although it was bright today, the temperature was still the temperature of winter, wasn't he cold?
Suddenly, I remembered the scene when I was in Yan's house, remembered the way his arm was bleeding that day, and couldn't help but sweep my eyes to his arm and see that it was hidden under the wide sleeves.
At this moment, Luo Zhen saw a rubber cart driving towards Yan Xiaxuan, walking side by side with his horse.
They were not too far apart, so Luo Zhen looked into the car and saw a young woman sitting inside.
The girl was holding Ruyi's bun, and there was a goose down rope coiled in the bun, which looked more and more luminous. Wearing a thick cyan shirt, with a West Lake water-colored fluffy scarf around her neck, she knew that she was a young lady at a glance.
Yan Xiaxuan obviously also noticed the girl in the rubber car, holding the reins in her hand and looking sideways at the rubber car.
The girl in the car was looking at him sideways, but when she saw him looking back, she immediately looked ahead.
Yan Xiaxuan looked ahead again and hit the horse forward.
And the car followed quickly, because the horse was faster than the car, so the car seemed to want to run parallel with Yan Xiaxuan's horse, so it drove faster.
Suddenly, I saw a few rickshaws coming forward to chase after me, and there were several shallot-like women sitting on them, some of them poked their heads out, as if they were calling for something.
Luo Zhen looked at it carefully and understood a little, the girl on the rubber cart in front of him may have taken a fancy to Yan Xiaxuan, so she was side by side with his horse, probably thinking that it was a conversation, and the women on the rickshaw behind might be the woman's companions.
Suddenly, Yan Xiaxuan raised his whip violently, and the horse ran forward violently, leaving those cars far behind.
After a while, Luo Zhen and Xia Yingban arrived at the Summer Palace.
After getting out of the car, the two and the guards behind them walked in, bought tickets and entered the door, but they didn't want to, Luo Zhen suddenly saw several women in front of them.
One of them was the girl in the blue clothes, and the people beside her were naturally her companions.
Luo Zhen and Xia Yingban walked slowly behind them but heard them start talking, and one of the women said, "Xiaoshi, what do you think of that man just now?" ”
"I didn't see the face, but I saw that the figure was a noble son with beautiful scenery."
"That's, otherwise how could we Liu Er keep an eye on others?" The girls looked at each other.
"It's a pity that the man is cold, and he will leave like this."
"That noble son, can there be Feng Yajun in the apricot blossom pear orchard? He's the most beautiful man I've ever met. ”
"Speaking of Feng Ya, I haven't been to the garden for a long time."
"Oh, some time ago, the theater opened, and my mother and I went in and chartered a room to listen to two plays."
"But I don't know why the theater has been closed again recently."
The girls were having a lively discussion.
The green-shirted woman named Liu Er finally spoke after a while, she wrung a handkerchief in her hand, and said: "You really should go faster, that son is really handsome, otherwise I wouldn't be like this, you really treat me as a nymphomaniac?" ”
"Aren't you?"
"Looking for a fight!"
Several women laughed, and they ran up, so Luo Zhen and Xia Yingban, who were walking behind them, were far behind.
There is food sold in the Summer Palace, Xia Yingban asked Luo Zhen: "I heard that the crab shell yellow baked cake here is very delicious, do you want to try it?" ”
Luo Zhen's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Okay." ”
While talking to Xia Yingsaka, Luo Zhen suddenly paused and leaned back.
When she looked back, she saw that the guard was shocked and looked at her in a panic.
She wore a rose-purple cloak today, and a footprint was imprinted on it in the place where the water was blue and silky.
Xia Yingban was very stunned, and then his face sank.
It turned out that the two stopped walking and walking, and the guard Zhao Gan behind him looked around the Summer Palace along the way, and didn't notice that they stopped in front of him, so he stepped on Luo Zhen's beep cloak.
Luo Zhen saw that Xia Yingban was about to have a seizure, so he hurriedly stopped: "He didn't mean it, it's hard for us to come out to play today, don't lose your interest." ”
Xia Yingban saw her say this, and it was not easy to pursue it anymore, so she only glanced at him and followed Luo Zhen.
After walking for a while, Xia Yingban asked Luo Zhen to wait in place for a while, and he went to buy the crab shell yellow baked cake, so Luo Zhen stood in place and waited, and there were guards standing beside him.
Plum blossoms bloomed in the Summer Palace, and there was a plum tree with plum blossoms blooming just right.
Luo Zhen was attracted by the plum tree and involuntarily walked over.
She looked up at the plum tree, and saw that the plum blossom was blooming.
The cold wind blew, and a plum blossom fluttered down, and Luo Zhen hurriedly caught it with his hand.
Yan Xiaxuan stood not far away and saw this scene, and saw the girl smiling lightly, dressed in plain clothes fluttering like a fairy, and couldn't help but smile in her heart.
Thinking of the pale face she had seen him hurt at their house the other day, he felt as if he had a little brush to play with his heart, and he wanted to get closer to her and tease her, and take her into his own hands.
