Gao Ziang wanted to stay alone in the room with Wan Ning more and more, but he was afraid that his uncle and aunt would blame him, so he was alone and widowed in the same room, after all, he was getting older and older, and he was not the child he used to be. Wan Ning also seems to be aware of this problem, and always leaves the door open when she is alone.

You still have to pay attention, if your uncle and aunt really blame, I'm afraid you will spend less time with Wanning. "Let's go play in the yard." He proposed.

Wan Ning responded: "Hmm." ”

"It's been a long time since I've heard you play the piano." Gao Ziang likes Wanning's way of playing the piano very much.

"Brother wants to hear Wanning play the piano?"

"That's right."

Wan Ning ordered someone to set up the piano in the gazebo. The melodious and clear sound of the piano floats out from the pavilion, sometimes ethereal like silk in the wind, sometimes like a clear spring gurgling, sometimes like a mountain stream path, winding, twists and turns. Gao Ziang couldn't help but take the flute and blow it, and the flute and the song sounded. The mountains and rivers meet the bosom friend, the two hearts are happy and affectionate, and the surrounding flowers and trees also dance, soft and beautiful.

Xiao Feiyan pulled the maid bead next to her and dragged her aside. "Sister Yan, what are you me for?" Ning Zhu couldn't help but wonder.

"Young Master and Miss are alone together, don't disturb them."

"Oh, thank you Sister Yan for reminding me, I'll pay attention to it later. In the end, she is the person next to Miss, and she must learn more from her sister in order to better serve Miss. Ning Zhu took the opportunity to befriend Xiao Feiyan, wanting to get more opportunities to perform in front of her master. But Xiao Feiyan had already seen through her thoughts: "Serve Miss, don't have so many clever thoughts, sincerely do good for Miss, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and be sincere, this is the trick." Don't think too much, Miss pays attention to you, she treats you well. ”

Ning Zhu lowered her head a little ashamedly: "Thank you Sister Yan for your teachings." ”

The sound of the flute is clear and pure, and the charm of the guqin is melodious. Only two people who have a heart-to-heart can appreciate the grace in the song. Affection is placed on a song, full of warmth. After the song was played, Wan Ning smiled knowingly: "Brother, I'll give you another piece of piano alone." ”

Gao Ziang put down the flute, stood beside Wan Ning, pretended to bow respectfully, and said, "Listen to the pine wind." Wan Ning glanced at him and continued playing. Just as she was immersed in the beautiful melody, Wan Ning saw a living creature crawling with its body twisting and crawling towards her, and she fixed her eyes to see a green snake attacking from the side.

Wan Ning screamed "ah" in fright, suddenly got up, and the whole person threw herself into Gao Ziang's arms so naturally: "Brother, snake!" ”

When Gao Ziang saw the snake, he didn't panic, and took two steps back to protect Wanning. The two quietly observed the snake's movements, but fortunately the snake did not crawl over, and hovered in place for a while before shrinking into the grass next to it. Gao Ziang looked down slightly at Wan Ning, whose heart was still pounding, satisfied with her being so dependent. For a while, he instinctively reassured: "It's okay, Sister Wan." ”

Wan Ning realized that she had impulsively pounced into his arms, and she took two steps back, pulling away. "It really scared me, where did the snake come from?"

Gao Ziang was also puzzled: "How can there be a snake in the house?" Instructed his subordinates to sprinkle more realgar powder in all corners of the house, especially in the corners of the walls. If such a thing happens, it must be because the subordinates have not done a good job. ”

"Miss, what's wrong?" Four or five subordinates rushed to hear the news.

Wan Ning's heartbeat finally calmed down, and said, "A snake just rushed out. ”

"Miss is alright?"

"I'm fine."

"It's all a dereliction of duty on the part of our subordinates."

"Okay, go down." The subordinates left one after another, leaving only Xiao Feiyan to come over to appease Wanning. "Yan'er, sprinkle more realgar powder in all corners of the house." Gao Ziang explained the matter of preventing the snake from reappearing to Xiao Feiyan.

"Yes, young master, I'll give the order."

It's been a long time to come to Li's house, it's time to go home, Gao Ziang said goodbye to Wanning. Gao Yi saw that the young master was leaving, so he greeted him; "Young Master, are we going home?"

"Hmm."

Gao Ziang walked and recalled the contact just now, feeling soft. As soon as he left the Li Mansion, Gao Ziang was a little nostalgic, and he was reluctant to leave. There are a few steps in the southeast corner of the Li Mansion that lead to the corner gate, which is usually quiet, and Gao Ziang likes to sit there for a moment from time to time. Today, he sat down again.

He looked at Gao Yi standing next to him: "You can sit too." And Gao Yi still didn't dare: "It's okay for the small one to stand and serve." ”

"Tell you to sit, you sit, sit down and talk for a while." Gao Ziang commanded in a low voice.

Yi'er had no choice but to sit down on the steps below Gao Ziang. The two were silent for a moment, and Gao Ziang asked, "Yi'er, have you ever hugged a woman?" ”

Yi'er was slightly stunned when she heard this: "Hug a woman? Does the young master want to hug a woman? Do as you instruct, and find a bunch of women to hug you another day. ”

"What are you talking about?" Gao Ziang frowned slightly.

Yi'er smiled. "Yi'er teased you." He was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I hugged my cousin when I was at home. ”

Gao Ziang didn't notice that when Yi'er said this, there was boundless sadness in his eyes, and he asked, "What do you feel?" ”

Yi'er lowered her head, as if recalling: "It was really touching at first. It's sweet and soft, and people can't help but pet her, and they can't help but protect her. ”

When Gao Ziang heard this, he had an epiphany, but no, Sister Wan was too, sweet and soft. The excitement gradually turned into silence, and the most heartwarming thing for him was that my Wan sister had grown up, and what made him feel even more excited, and the touch of softness lingered in his mind for a long time.

"And what happened to you?" Gao Ziang couldn't help but ask, "Have you married her?" ”

Yi'er originally thought that his cousin's matter would end here, but since the young master asked about this relationship, he told the story: "Although we didn't grow up together like you and Miss Wanning when we were children, we also had a few contacts, and then as the contact increased, we gradually fell in love, and I also decided that she was the person I wanted to protect in this life." Later......" Yi'er choked up, "and then it was a pity that her father did not agree, and his father disliked me for being a poor boy and not having the right door." ”

Yi'er was silent for a moment, and then said: "Now that I think about it, it's not wrong to be right, who wants to give away the status and wealth that has worked hard for half a lifetime?" People should call for true love, but love is not everything, for the sake of love to give up everything existing, how many people in the world can do it? ”

"Young master, a marriage like you and Miss Wanning is really too few in this world."

Gao Ziang felt a deep pity: "You haven't been looking for her since then?" ”

"I've looked for it a few times. But it didn't work, and her father chose another good family for her. She got married, and I watched her get on the sedan chair. Yi'er paused, as if infinitely sentimental. Something happened, and it is always a pain in the memory.

"I don't think I'm supposed to tell you this." Gao Ziang said with a little apology.

"How so? Young master, the pain hidden in the heart will never be cured, only by speaking out, can it be slowly healed. Forgive the little disrespect, although you are a young master, but at this moment I treat you as a friend. ”

The two were silent for a long time before Gao Ziang got up and patted him on the shoulder, which also contained a little helplessness in this comfort.
