Chapter 23: Pan'er, I Want to Marry You
After sending off the three families, Xiao Fan finally took a breath, and then happily prepared for the evening date.
Xiao Fan was about to ask Jia Quan to prepare bathing supplies for himself, when he found that the child was playing with two clay puppets named "Mo Drink Le" to tease Xiao Zhao.
Seeing the happy appearance of the two, Xiao Fan went over and teased him: "Jia Quan, where did you get the money to buy 'grinding and drinking'?" Isn't it going to steal your father's money? Beware of your mom and dad breaking your legs! ”
"Humph! Officials, you don't look down on people, this is when you were chatting with a few officials just now, a merchant passed by our door, and then Sister Jiang Er's sisters bought it for me. Jia Quan said and proudly showed the grinding in his hand and said: "Look! I also brought one for Xiao Zhao! ”
Xiao Fan was completely convinced that Jia Quan was pleasing to women, and resisted the urge to call the master, rubbed his head with a smile and said, "Your official wants to take a bath, hurry up and prepare to go." ”
..................
As night fell, the crescent moon hung in the sky.
Zhao Paner walked out of the house after bathing and dressing up, and saw a figure fidgeting under the big willow tree at the entrance of the alley from a distance, walking around.
Xiao Fan saw Zhao Pan'er before she got close, and hurriedly greeted her, took his hand and said happily: "You're here!" ”
Zhao Pan'er looked at his anxious appearance and smiled: "I saw you scurrying around here from afar, are you in a hurry?" ”
"I didn't have to wait long, I just came." Xiao Fan said excitedly while pulling Zhao Paner away: "Let's go, let's go to the stall in the night market to get something to eat first!" ”
"Xiao Fan, wait a minute!" Zhao Paner pulled out the hand she was holding and said in a slightly trembling tone: "I have something to tell you!" ”
"What's the matter? You said! Xiao Fan felt distressed for such a Zhao Paner.
"I've never been willing to tell you about my past, because that's why I haven't accepted you!"
"Pan'er, don't say what you don't want to say."
"Don't talk, listen to me!" Zhao Paner said loudly: "Zhao Paner, at the age of nine, he was not an official slave because of his father's sin, he belonged to the Hangzhou Le Camp and sang and danced as a musician, and at the age of sixteen, he was too obedient to the order, and he was left and returned to his hometown!" ”
"Enough!" Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Pan'er, who was holding back tears, and said heartbrokenly: "Pan'er, don't say it, I don't care." ”
"You can not care, but I will say, I don't want you to be kept in the dark." Zhao Paner said stubbornly.
"Actually, I guessed it when I saw the quote yesterday, but I don't care!" Xiao Fan said sincerely: "Zhao Paner, you have to remember that I love you as a person, not anything else!" Got it? ”
Zhao Paner smiled with tears: "I believe you!" ”
After the two looked at each other and soothed their emotions, Xiao Fan began to change the topic, stretched out his hand in front of Zhao Pan'er and looked at her and said, "May I ask if Mrs. Zhao can accompany you to Qiantang at night?" ”
"Then it's up to you to behave tonight!" Zhao Paner put her hand on Xiao Fan's palm and burst into tears and smiled.
"Let's go, let's go over there and buy some food first." Xiao Fan pulled Zhao Paner and ran to the stall selling food.
Qiantang Night Market.
"I'm going to eat this rice wine glutinous rice ball."
"Buy!"
"Look, Sugar Gourd!"
"Buy, buy!"
"Wow, this candy man is so well drawn!"
"Buy, buy, buy!"
Xiao Fan took Zhao Paner out of the place where he sold food and passed by a vendor selling jewelry.
Xiao Fan stopped and asked, "Do you want to take a look?" ”
Zhao Pan'er looked around, shook her head and said, "No need." ”
Xiao Fan noticed that Zhao Pan'er had clearly seen what she liked just now, and she had just taken two more glances at a fire coral hairpin.
"Boss, how much is this hairpin?"
"Five."
"Wrap it up!"
Xiao Fan took the fire coral hairpin he bought and handed it to Zhao Pan'er and said, "Na, I'll give it to you." ”
"And you spend money indiscriminately, and I'm going to ask for it if you give it to me? Who are you? Hum! After Zhao Pan'er finished speaking, she ignored Xiao Fan and walked forward arrogantly.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan had no choice but to put away the hairpin, chased after him and said, "Eh, why are you angry again?" You're angry, I'll tell you something happy, okay? ”
Zhao Paner was curious: "What's the happy thing?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Paner was aroused, Xiao Fan told her about his recognition of his little brother last night. However, he only said that a few people drank and listened to music and that the three of them recognized themselves as big brothers, and did not say anything about the three of them giving themselves a trick.
"It turns out that you are the new friend of Qiantang Sandu? You're still their big brother? Zhao Paner suddenly realized.
"Yes, we're now called the 'Four Self-Respecting Brothers'. But how do you even know about it? ”
"I also listened to what the tea guests said, but I didn't expect you to be able to mix with them, but their fear of guilt is widely known in Qiantang."
"It's not just fear of guilt! I'll tell you......"
Then Xiao Fan told him vividly about the fact that the three of them were taken by his wife today and ran to his house to ask for an explanation.
When Xiao Fan talked about Liu Sandao, Zhao Paner's eyes widened, and she admired this heroine tightly, and asked curiously: "Is her knife really as heavy as thirty catties?" ”
"It's that heavy, but her martial arts are far worse than mine. She had to compete with me, and then she was defeated by me in a few moves, and she still had to worship me as a teacher! ”
After the two walked around for nearly an hour, seeing that Zhao Paner was a little tired, Xiao Fan took her to a restaurant. The two sat by the window and ordered a table of wine and food.
This is the first time Xiao Fan has drunk with Zhao Paner, and he only replaced wine with tea at the previous housewarming banquet.
Looking downstairs at the bright lights, people come and go and the modern city is different from the bustling scene. I can't help but sigh that this small money pond is already like this, what should be the scene of the legendary rich and charming Tokyo?
Xiao Fan and Zhao Pan'er gradually became more interested in pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and began to draw fists with the help of wine.
"Five!"
"Fifteen!"
"Ten!"
"Twenty!"
"You lose, you drink!" Zhao Paner's eyes were slightly confused and let Xiao Fan drink.
Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Pan'er in front of him with a blushing face and drunken eyes, and lost his mind, he was really drunk and everyone was drunk.
"Whew! Boom! ”
"It's not a day today, why do people set off fireworks?" Zhao Paner walked to the window and looked at the fireworks outside, and said strangely.
Xiao Fan also came to the window and stood beside Zhao Pan'er and said, "Pan'er, do you like fireworks?" ”
"The fireworks are so beautiful, of course I like it!" Zhao Paner said happily.
After the fireworks were over, Xiao Fan approached Zhao Pan'er a little nervously.
Seeing Zhao Pan'er turning his head and looking at him suspiciously, Xiao Fan asked, "Pan'er, are you happy today?" ”
"Happy!" Zhao Paner, who was drunk, looked at him a little coquettishly and said.
Xiao Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and quietly approached Zhao Pan'er a little, and slowly stretched out his hand to her back to hold her in his arms.
Just when Xiao Fan was about to hug him, Zhao Pan'er suddenly turned around, touched his hand away, and said funny: "Do you want to say next, Pan'er, since this is the case, then let me stay with you and be happy like this, okay?" ”
Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Pan'er a little deflated.
"First, you must take the little lady to eat cheap food, so that it looks interesting."
"Second, be sure to tell more interesting stories about your own rash adventures, so that people feel fresh."
"Oh! Also, be sure to talk about important things when there is candlelight shining in your eyes, so that it will seem very real! ”
Looking at Xiao Fan's loveless expression, Zhao Paner patted Xiao Fan's shoulder amusefully and continued: "Xiao Guanren, have you forgotten what I told you before? I grew up in Fengyue Field since I was a child, and I can't hear all these things! ”
"If I had known that, I wouldn't have bothered to do this!" Xiao Fan said with a depressed face, then lifted the wine jug and poured a glass of wine and drank it all.
"That's what you're doing tonight to stay with me?" Zhao Paner walked behind Xiao Fan and put one hand on his shoulder.
Xiao Fan was still sulking and said, "What about the careful planning?" Haven't you seen it all? ”
"It's all very old-fashioned, but I still like the fireworks!"
was told by Zhao Pan'er, Xiao Fan was even more depressed, because the fireworks were not set off by him at all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan turned around and stood up, took Zhao Pan'er's hands, looked at her and said solemnly: "Pan'er, I want to marry you, I want to marry you, I want to grow old with you!" ”
