Xi Lan endured the pain in his heart, pretended to be nothing, and returned to his brother in a gloomy manner.

Xi Zhaozheng patiently taught Ah Candle to learn characters.

Xi Zhao went to Beijing this time and brought a box of bamboo slips to the teacher. Shen Yu naturally couldn't put it down, knowing that Xi Zhao had asked for his father's consent, so he asked someone to buy a few knives of paper, and it happened that several juniors were idle, and one of them was called to work as a coolie.

Only Ah Candle, because the words were not good enough, was disgusted by Shen Yu for being weak and soft, and specially asked her to practice the words first and then transcribe the books.

When Xi Lan came in, he happened to see Princess Mingshi come over with a notebook and let Ah Candle practice against him.

The two of them surrounded Ah Candle on the left and right, patiently guiding them, like a family of three.

Xi Lan: "......"

"Shaochi is back."

Xi Zhao looked up, saw Xi Lan stunned in place, quite embarrassed, and gestured to the desk and pen, ink, paper and inkstone not far away with his eyes, and said gently: "Go and copy those." ”

Ah Candle rubbed his wrist and hummed quietly: "I'm so tired." ”

Pei Mingshi shook his head helplessly, "Practicing calligraphy is not a day's work. ”

Xi Zhao said to his younger brother: "Pour a glass of water for Ah Candle first." ”

Xi Lan: "??? ”

After only writing a few words, I started to shout tired? What about the strength of beating people in yesterday's dream?

Where have you been!?

Hearing this, Pei Mingshi seemed to smile and said, "How to work Xi Erlang." ”

Xi Zhao said with a smile: "It's just a gesture, Shaochi is willing." ”

I didn't!

Xi Lan began to regret why he came back, he silently poured a glass of water, Ah Candle took it, and said to Xi Zhao sweetly: "Thank you, Brother Shaoxu." ”

Xi Lan: "......? ”

You can see who poured the water for you.

You see it clearly and say it again! Who the hell is thanking you!

Wrong......

Xi Lan suddenly became frightened.

In the morning, Ah Candle still shouted "Xi Dalangjun" to Xi Zhao.

How did he become "Brother Shaoxu" in the blink of an eye?

He just went out for a while, not half a year!

Reality and dreams overlapped, and Ah Candle shouted "Brother Shaoxu" very smoothly, as if he had shouted countless times in his previous life.

Xi Zhao saw that her eyebrows and eyes were curved like a crescent moon, cute and cute, and he couldn't help but want to touch her head.

Pei Mingshi said: "What to do?" ”

Xi Zhao had no choice but to withdraw his hand, and said with a natural expression: "Ah Candle seems to have something on his head." ”

"What's that? Dead or alive? Did you get it down? Ah Candle looked nervous, and just as he was about to raise his head, he was pressed by Pei Mingshi and said, "Don't listen to him, you write yours." ”

"Whew......"

Xi Lan couldn't bear it anymore, threw up his sleeves and went out again.

Xi Zhao said softly: "Don't worry about him. After a while, I came back again. ”

Xi Erlangjun, who deliberately slowed down and wanted to hear how they reacted: "......"

Well, he'll never come back this time in two hours!

Xi Lan learned from the pain and decided not to pick and choose. Although Song Dalangjun has different hobbies from ordinary people, he is also the eldest son of the Song family, with a slender posture and dignified appearance.

He went out for a walk, bought some things for Song Dalangjun to refine the pill, and saw the most prosperous pastry shop in the old street, and he was idle, and by the way, he queued for two quarters of an hour and bought a red bean cake.

He remembered that in his dream, Ah Candle liked to eat this.

Xi Lan returned to the Song Mansion and learned from his subordinates that Song Dalangjun had returned from the palace, so he went straight to the target, and before he stepped into the courtyard, he heard a bang, and a strong smell of burning.

Xi Lan: "......"

What blew up?

He began to hesitate, it couldn't be Song Dalang's alchemy that blew himself up, right?

The door opened, and out of the thick smoke, a young man with a dirty face walked out.

"Xi Shao, Shaochi? Why are you here again? Song Hui was surprised, coughed a few times, and was about to ask someone to buy cinnabar and other things, when he saw the things in Xi Lan's hand with extremely sharp eyes, and stretched out his hand with a smile, "It's better to come early than to come by chance, Shaochi is so sweet." ”

“……”

Xi Lan felt a strong feeling in his heart, he didn't know what to say, and he even wanted to give up.

No way.

If the elder brother insists on following Pei Mingshi's side, let alone whether he can pass the clan elder's level, even Daddy will not agree.

The heir of the Jiujiang Xi clan, how can he follow a woman?

I'm afraid I'm not crazy!

Xi Lan did not hesitate to stuff the things in his hand to Song Hui, and said solemnly: "This is Pei ...... The princess asked me to send it to you. ”

Song Hui was surprised: "Princess? ”

Xi Lan said: "Naturally. The princess knew that Song Langjun was focused on alchemy, and she wanted to buy these things in person, but she had something important to do, so she had to ask me. ”

Song Hui pointed to the fragrant red bean cake he was holding in his hand and asked, "Is this also what the princess asked you to send?" I was hungry—"

He stretched out his hand and was slapped away by Xi Lan.

"This isn't."

“？”

Xi Lan was expressionless: "I'll eat it myself." ”

Song replied: "Okay, ......" is ready to go back to the room to bathe and change clothes, and then let the next person get some food.

"Wait!"

Xi Lan stopped him, and the latter looked puzzled, "Is there anything else?" ”

“……”

Xi Lan took a deep breath and asked implicitly: "As the saying goes, give back to the peach, repay the li, the princess cares about Song Langjun so much, should Song Langjun also care about the princess?" ”

Under the sparse hinting gaze, Song Hui finally suddenly realized, "Oh...... I see. ”

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, please allow me to change my clothes first."

I really can't go to see Pei Mingshi like a bombed ghost.

Xi Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was teachable.

The Song family is also the foreign family of Princess Mingshi, why doesn't anyone think about kissing each other?

Xi Lan waited for a while, and Song Hui finally finished bathing and changing, and slowly walked out in a green robe.

Xi Lan didn't forget to advise: "The princess is a woman in the end, her face is thin, Song Langjun don't mention anything else, just give the things to the princess." I'll go ask her out in a moment. ”

By the way, let my brother take a good look, what is Lang having a concubine.

He did not believe or die.

When he arrived at the courtyard of the old lady Song, Xi Lan resisted the excitement of being about to be completed, walked up the steps quickly, and was about to speak, when Ah Candle came out and looked at him while yawning.

"You're back?"

Xi Lan remembered what happened in the morning, snorted coldly, and ignored her.

Ah Zhu pulled his sleeve, smelled a sweet smell, and asked with greed, "Xi Erlangjun, what are you looking for?" ”

Xi Lan walked from the inside to the outside, except for Ah Candle, Song Zhizhi, who was copying books and taking a nap, and there was no one else.

What about Pei Mingshi?

What about the elder brother?

Ah Candle looked at Xi Lan pitifully, "Your Highness and Brother Shaoxu have gone out." ”

Xi Lan said angrily: "They don't teach you to practice calligraphy, what do you do when you run out!" ”

Ah Candle's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he looked even more pitiful.

"I don't know ......"

Xi Lan threw the bag of red bean cake into her arms, so angry that she wanted to tear down the door frame, but Song Hui was still outside, he walked out and said, "The princess has gone out beforehand, Song Langjun will come over after dinner." ”

Normally, at that hour, my brother and Pei Mingshi would accompany Mrs. Shen to play chess.

Xi Lan thought that when Pei Mingshi and Song Hui were standing in the courtyard, in front of the moon flowers, the elder brother was alone, and he would definitely not be able to swallow this breath when he saw this scene, with his brother's self-esteem, he would definitely pack up his things and leave quietly.

Song Hui also spoke, "Then I'll give things to the princess then." ”

"What's that?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind Xi Lan.

Ah Candle followed behind Xi Lan with the bag of red bean cakes, because she was petite, Song Hui didn't notice her, and at this moment, she looked at the little lady coming out, estimated the guests in the mansion recently, and guessed: "But the little lady Qin from the Ancheng County Lord's Mansion?" ”

Ah Candle nodded, and then pulled Xi Lan's sleeve, I don't know what bad things to develop, I always love to pull people's sleeves!

It's not Xi Lan or Pei Mingshi.

She stared straight at Song Hui's wide sleeves, "It's so fragrant......"

The flavor is stronger than that of red bean cake.

Song Hui's eyes lit up, and he took out two small porcelain bottles, from which the fragrance came.

"It smells so good!" Ah Candle rubbed his nose, "I feel like my brain is sober......"

Song Huiru saw her bosom friend and said in surprise: "Little lady Qin has good eyesight!" This is the famous Qingxin Pill, which is most suitable for people who are busy with affairs all day long and work hard, and I have been refining for three days and three nights to produce such a furnace! ”

Saying that, he stuffed it to Ah Candle, and said happily: "After eating, ask me to get it, don't say anything else, the pill is enough!" ”

Candle: "Huh? ”

She just wanted to know what it was, but she didn't want to eat it.

Ah Candle is greedy because he was not in good health in his previous life, he can't eat that he can't touch it, but now he is healthy and full of freshness to everything, so he always wants to taste everything he hasn't eaten, but this does not include this strange thing!

Song Hui thought she was embarrassed to accept it, and her tone became better and better, "You're welcome, you're welcome, it's just a pure heart pill, it's not worth a few dollars." ”

Candle: "Okay...... Thank you. ”

Xi Lan's whole body was numb.

He didn't even want to remind Song Hui, isn't that what you were going to give Pei Mingshi?!

If Xi Lan is not mistaken, Song Hui is going to take the pill that was not sent out in the morning to Princess Mingshi.

That's it.

What's the matter with you giving it to someone halfway?!

Song Hui waved his hand, not taking this kind of trivial matter to heart: "It's okay, just go back and take two more bottles to the princess." ”

Let's go back and fry the stove...... Ah no, alchemy.

Xi Lan stared coldly at the pill in Ah Candle's arms, just like watching an enemy who killed his father.

"Don't eat it."

Ah Candle nodded obediently, followed Xi Lan step by step, and asked, "Xi Erlangjun, where did you go just now?" Is this pastry for me? Can I eat with Qi Niang? ”

Xi Lan was in a bad mood, so she didn't turn her face away and choked her: "You ask so much, do you like me?" ”

Although there is only one sentence in Ah Candle's three sentences about Xi Lan, this does not affect him from seizing the opportunity.

He remembered every word Ah Candle said very well, and he could finally return a tooth for a tooth!

Unexpectedly, she didn't want to think about it, and said with a grin: "Yes, yes, didn't I say it earlier, I fell in love with Xi Erlangjun at first sight, and my love is deep-rooted!" ”

Xi Lan was speechless now, his white jade-like earlobes quickly turned red, I don't know if he was embarrassed, so he went into the house to copy the book without making a sound.

Ah Candle still wanted to be lazy for a while, and gently woke up Song Zhizhi, she didn't use much for lunch, and when she smelled the smell, her stomach screamed.

"Ah Candle?" Song Zhizhi was sleepy-eyed and leaned on Ah Candle, "Where have you been?" It smells so good. ”

Ah Candle fed her a piece of red bean cake, and said vaguely while eating: "Xi Erlangjun gave it, you eat it quickly, otherwise when His Highness and they come back, they will start copying books again." ”

Old lady Song couldn't see them idle.

It is said that this is a wasted year.

Ah Candle was half-filled, and began to want to doze off, so he couldn't help but take out the elixir given by Song Hui and smell it.

Refreshed indeed.

Song Zhizhi saw that this small bottle was from Song Hui's hand, hesitated for a moment, and said euphemistically: "The eldest brother is quite interested in the art of alchemy, but he has never learned the art from a teacher......

"If you haven't studied with a teacher, you can still refine the elixir?" Ah Candle misunderstood what Song Zhizhi meant, and muttered in shock, "The real person doesn't show his face, Song Langjun is so powerful." ”

Song Zhizhi wanted to say no, but he couldn't explain it, he always felt that it was not good to reveal his brother's shortcomings, so he shut up, drank tea again, and continued to copy books.

On the other side, Xi Lan is not dead yet.

After Pei Mingshi and Xi Zhao came back, he quietly observed the movements between the two, and found no clues, so he had to give up.

"Big brother." Xi Lan took advantage of Pei Ming's absence and asked, "Where did you just go?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Xi Lan began to stir up trouble, and said in a low voice: "When you were not there, Song Langjun took some things that he had carefully prepared to see Princess Mingshi, and they seemed to have a good relationship. ”

Xi took a look at him and said quietly: "It is common for cousins to have a very strong relationship. ”

Xi Lan held back a sentence: "But I think that they don't seem to be ordinary between them." ”

Xi Zhao asked, "Why is it not ordinary?" ”

Xi Lan said: "You'll know after you have dinner." ”

"Okay."

As a result, when it was dark, when Ah Candle returned to the county lord's mansion, and when the dinner was over, Song Hui was still delayed, Xi Lan looked at the two who had been playing against each other for a long time, and wanted to find a rope to drag Song Hui over.

Don't blow up the stove again!

Wait, wait, until Pei Ming stayed at Song's house, everyone bathed and changed clothes, turned off the lights and rested, but still didn't see half of Song Hui's figure.

Xi Zhao raised his eyebrows and said to his younger brother who was sitting by the window, "What do you want me to see?" ”

Xi Lan was weak: "...... It's nothing. ”

Forget it, let's go back to sleep.

When I woke up, I had the strength to find Song Hui to settle accounts.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Xi Lan rushed to Song Hui's courtyard, dragged the person up from the bed and beat him hard!

Like an abandoned woman who has been waiting in the cold kiln for 18 years, she asked: "Why didn't you come after last night's dinner?" Where have you been?! ”

Song Hui was dizzy by him pulling his collar, and said, "Yesterday afternoon, Lian Bi Gu Dan had some accidents and was accidentally blown unconscious......

Xi Lan: "......? ”

What kind of people are these!!

Under his fierce threat, Song Hui repeatedly promised that he would not forget to return the gift to Princess Mingshi for a while.

Xi Lan let him go.

This time it should be done.

Xi Lan was looking forward to it.
