Chapter 27: Bright Times
After arranging everything, Xi Lan went to find his brother.
Before Old Lady Shen got up, Xi Zhao had nothing to do, so he sat alone in the hall and played against himself.
Hearing the footsteps, he didn't raise his head and said: "All say that the guest is as he pleases, although the teacher is generous, we can't be presumptuous." Less pool? β
Xi Lan thought about it carefully, he was in the Song family, except for Song Dalangjun, who was a little more diligent, and there was nothing else to overstep.
So Xi Lan was very sure: "I am not presumptuous. β
Xi Zhao thought for a long time: "Really not? β
Xi Erlangjun, who has always been indifferent, can't help but feel a little weak in front of his eldest brother, who has been staying in Old Lady Song's courtyard all the time, so he shouldn't know what he did......
Could it be that Pei Mingshi said something? The elder brother came and beat him.
Xi Lan had a stinky face and was very resolute: "No! Big brother don't believe it! β
There was a slight sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Xi Zhao had a slight smile in his eyes, and he picked up the chess pieces unhurriedly and put them back in place.
It was the footsteps of Princess Akeki.
Xi Lan's heart lifted, and when he subconsciously looked out, he heard a hurried "princess", Song Hui hurried over, bending down tiredly, and kept panting.
Xi Lan: "......"
Is this the result of the waste of the body by the five-stone loose food, or is it caused by too much pills?
You can't lift your hands or carry them on your shoulders.
Xi Lan's disgust was revealed on the surface, and he didn't forget to greet his brother to watch a good show: "Big brother, I will explain that Princess Shi and Song Dalang have a close relationship, which is different from ordinary people. Lookβ"
Xi Zhao stood up and stood side by side with his younger brother, just enough to take in the scene in the courtyard from this angle.
The young man was dressed in a cyan robe, his body was long and jade, and his face was slightly red, and he didn't know what to say to Princess Mingshi, who stretched his eyebrows and eyes, and his delicate and atmospheric side face looked particularly soft, even mixed with a hint of helplessness.
Xi Lan quietly observed his brother's expression, and when he saw that he was calm, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
Isn't that angry?
Seeing that Princess Mingshi took out a handkerchief and handed it to Song Hui to wipe the sweat on her forehead, Xi Lan immediately said: "Big brother, Princess Mingshi is really considerate to Song Langjun. β
Xi Zhao let out a faint "um".
Still no response?
Xi Lan said tentatively: "Big brother, have you ever seen Princess Mingshi be so considerate to anyone?" β
Xi looked at him and didn't speak.
Song Hui wiped his sweat, took out a few bottles of pills from his sleeve, and handed them to Princess Mingshi with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Xi Lan said, "Song Langjun is the Qingxin Pill in his hand, right?" It seems to be specially refined for Princess Mingshi, which shows how much care is cared. β
Xi Zhao said lightly: "Is this a concern?" β
Xi Lan retorted: "Why don't you count? Hearts are precious and rare, doesn't Princess Mingshi like it very much? β
Lang is talented and beautiful, all of them are smiling, the princess of Ming is strong and noble, Song Dalangjun and Wen Shun, no matter how you look at it, it is a very right scene.
Xi Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, didn't dare to look at his brother's face, and couldn't help but praise Song Hui in his heart.
Rotten wood can be carved, and children can be taught.
Just as Pei Mingshi was about to take it, Ah Candle suddenly rushed in, as if a wolf was chasing after him, muttering that he was late and late......
Because he ran too fast, he didn't see people clearly, and directly hit Song Dalangjun on the back.
Almost fell to the ground!
Pei Mingshi's eyes were quick and he pulled the person up.
"What are you doing running so fast?"
Xi Lan chuckled in his heart, how could it be so coincidental!
Song Hui saw that it was Ah Candle, his face was surprised, and said: "Little lady Qin, yesterday's Qingxin Dan ......"
"You still say!"
Ah Candle's face was unprecedentedly angry, she felt like an angry calf at the moment, and she was about to give Song back to her stomach for a while!
Her tone was extremely sad and indignant, and she even began to have tears in her eyes: "What are you refining?" Laxatives! I ate one, and from last night to today, my intestines are almost pulling out! β
Shocked more than worried, Xi Lan blurted out: "I'll let her stop eating!" How did I eat it again! β
Xi Zhao looked at him silently.
Xi Lan reacted and walked to the side as if nothing had happened, away from his brother.
Brothers don't usually hit people, but now, it may not be the usual time.
Ah Candle was still complaining with grief and indignation: "I practiced calligraphy alone in the room last night, and I was so sleepy that I smelled the pill given by Song Langjun, and wanted to refresh my heart, but I accidentally ate it...... Then I had a stomachache for a long time! Toilet going to the toilet all the time...... Woo. β
She cried in Pei Mingshi's arms like a child, cried twice, turned around, stared at Song Hui vigilantly, and said to Pei Mingshi: "His things are poisonous!" Can't eat! β
Song Hui didn't know whether he was angry or anxious, his face turned red, and he defended himself: "That may be a defective product......
Ah Candle was even more angry: "You actually gave me the defective product!" β
"I amβI took it wrong!" Song Hui retorted loudly.
Ah Candle shouted louder than him: "Liar! β
As soon as she looked up, she saw Xi Lan standing at the door, her eyes slightly evaded, she didn't notice it, and pulled the witness to confront Song Hui.
"You said it was for the princess yesterday, and Xi Erlangjun also heard it! Isn't it? β
Xi Lan was grabbed by her hand, stiff and motionless, and slowly nodded her head under Ah Candle's urging.
"Hmm."
Ah Candle was so angry that he could breathe fire on the spot: "You haven't carefully checked the things you took for the princess!" β
Xi Lan stared at Ah Candle, and found out after realizing it......
She was so angry because she was almost eaten by Pei Mingshi??
Pei Mingshi glanced at Song Hui, who was sprayed with blood by A Candle and didn't dare to speak anymore, and asked softly, "Does your stomach still hurt now?" β
Ah Candle shook his head, "It doesn't hurt......" The tone was sullen, exactly the same as a wilted vegetable leaf.
Xi Lan sneered in his heart, he deserved to die, who let some people promise to be good, turned his head and ate again.
Pei Mingshi took Ah Candle's hand, but he was still not at ease, "Wai Weng hasn't gotten up yet, let's ask Lang Zhong to take a look first." β
Song Hui whispered: "There is one in my courtyard, I will let him come over." β
Candle: "......"
Xi Lan: "......"
Even Pei Mingshi was rarely silent and persuaded him: "Cousin...... It's better to pay more attention to your body. Don't eat indiscriminately. β
Song Hui stubbornly refused to admit that it was the problem with the pill he had refined, but he didn't dare to keep it anymore, so he hurriedly ran away with the bottles of the pill he hadn't sent out.
Ah Candle unconsciously let go of Xi Lan's hand, tilted his head and cried to Pei Mingshi: "I saw Song Langjun so confident yesterday, as if he was confident, I thought he was talented and a genius in alchemy, but I didn't expect it to be like this......"
Song Hui, who hadn't gone far yet, was shocked when he heard this! Almost stumbled to the ground!
Xi Lan said coldly: "Don't let you eat it." β
Ah Candle said: "I was careless! β
Who knew it was so slippery and slipped into the mouth.
"Alright, don't be angry." Pei Mingshi shaved her face, and took her to Song Hui first to let Lang Zhong check the pulse, so as not to make a noise with Mrs. Song here. The old man felt shallow, maybe he had been woken up by them at this time, but he hid inside and refused to come out, for fear that he would be suffocated.
Xi Lan returned to the house silently.
Xi Zhao didn't seem to see his brother's depression, and said lightly, "Song Langjun's liking is really scary." β
Meaningful.
Xi Lan thought of Song Hui's pill that he would always carry with him when he went out, and he really wanted to give it to him to make his head bloom! If he can't do such a trivial thing, what else can he do?
Worse than useless!
And Ah Candle! When is it not good, but when Pei Mingshi and Song Hui chatted at the most harmonious time!
not only fell short, but also caused him to lose face in front of his brother......
What a shame to be at home!!
If my brother can misunderstand that Pei Mingshi likes Song Hui, Xi Lan will change his head!
If you can't do it, you can regenerate it.
Song Hui is mud can't support the wall, but there is always mud that is not rotten.
Xi Lan didn't believe that he couldn't shake his brother's heart.
*
For five days, Ah Candle and the others finally copied the entire box of bamboo slips. coincided with Humu, and Mrs. Song also gave them a day off. Pei Mingshi originally wanted to take Ah Candle to learn riding and archery, but there was something temporary, and he hurried out of the city.
Xi Zhao silently left his younger brother and went with him.
When Xi Lan knew that they were already more than ten miles away, they might not be able to catch up quickly.
Xi Lan: "......"
He had been dreaming again for the past few days.
I dreamed that my brother was punished by Aya because of Pei Mingshi and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Xi Lan became more and more anxious, and he thought that if his brother continued like this, this would be what would happen in the future. Aya has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his strength is infinite, and a few whips can almost whip people to death.
Xi Lan has not been close to Aya since he was a child, and for him, his brother is much more important than Aye.
He knew that even the two brothers couldn't fight against Aya or even the entire family, so why bother with them?
He wouldn't let his brother hurt in the slightest.
What's more, Jiujiang Xi's family is originally a brother's thing, why should he give it away?
Xi Lan has been looking for new candidates these days, and even took the initiative to approach several Lang Jun from the common people that Pei Ming admired.
But every time he made a move, he was accidentally hit and destroyed by Ah Candle.
was so angry that Xi Lan couldn't eat for several days!
"Xi Erlangjun!"
Whatever you want, you come.
Ah Candle poked out half of his head from outside the door, smiled shyly, and asked, "Can I come in?" β
Xi Lan said quickly: "No! β
"Absolutely." Ah Candle cheered and walked in with a heavy food box.
Xi Lan hurriedly put away the unfinished "How to make my brother sober up and stay away from Pei Mingshi's plan", sat upright, and said lukewarmly: "What are you doing?" β
He was now completely sure that Ah Candle's elbow was only facing Pei Ming, just like his brother, it was simply unreasonable!
Ah Candle knelt down across from her, opened the food box, and brought out a bowl of steaming pasta and a small dish.
She said, "Don't you have a bad appetite?" I asked Brother Shaoxu, and he said that you may be tired of eating the Song family's food. I happened to come over today, and I bought you some noodles on the way. Eat it while it's hot. β
Xi Lan's stunned expression was blurred by the steaming white mist.
There are so many thoughts in my heart, it is not an exaggeration to say that I have mixed feelings.
When did she become so considerate......
Just thinking about it, I heard Ah Candle full of distress and said: "Eat quickly, this noodle is so expensive, a bowl costs five yuan!" β
Xi Lan: "......"
Oh.
Xi Lan took the first bite, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when she looked up, she saw Ah Candle looking at her with bright eyes, and she smiled embarrassedly.
Xi Lan's heart was full of alarm bells.
"Xi Erlangjun, do you like princesses?"
One sentence almost choked Xi Lan to death!
He coughed so hard that his face was flushed, and even his neck was spreading, and it looked a little scary.
Xi Lan's expression was frightened, as if Ah Candle was some kind of monster.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Like Pei Mingshi?
Is he crazy!
What is there about Pei Mingshi?
Ah Candle wondered, "You don't like the princess?" So why do you...... Always ask people to send things to the princess? β
Isn't it because I'm embarrassed to send it, so I let people hand it over?
"Nonsense!"
When he mentioned this, Xi Lan was angry!
She's embarrassed to say! Has he ever succeeded? It's not all that she makes up so coincidentally every time!
He asked Lang Jun, who was born in the common people, to send poems, what does it have to do with her? With a shocked expression, he sighed that he had never seen such a pretentious verse, and he was so angry that he threw his sleeves away on the spot, and whispered that his husband's strength was so small.
He plucked Xiao Langjun from the Song family to pluck up the courage to ask Princess Mingshi to ride and shoot, what does it matter to her? is like a dog skin plaster who refuses to let Pei Mingshi go, don't think he didn't hear her say to Pei Mingshi that Xiao Langjun has thin arms and legs, if he is injured because of pulling the bow, it will not be good to rely on the princess!
And so on and so forth!
Does she have a grudge against him?
Even if he destroys it repeatedly, now he still misunderstands that he likes Pei Mingshi?
It's a shame!!
Ah Candle thought with her chin propped up, "Ah, you don't like princesses, could it be that you likeβ"
What about one of Lang Jun?
Xi Lan inexplicably understood the excitement in Ah Candle's eyes, and immediately became angry, and began to babble: "Didn't you say that it was love at first sight for me?" Would you like to see that I like someone else? β
Ah Candle said solemnly: "It was my business that I fell in love with you at first sight, and I didn't force you to like me, I'm not a bandit like the county lord of Ruyi!" What's more, to love someone is to fulfill the other! So ......"
She asked with a shy face: "Xi Erlangjun, do you like Song Dalangjun or Song Xiaolangjun?" Or the same Li Langjun who writes love poems? β
Xi Lan: "......"
Don't you take others for fools if you don't get angry!
Seeing that something was wrong, Ah Candle turned around and ran, was dragged back fiercely, and the whole person fell into Xi Lan's arms.
Ah Candle shouted: "Men and women don't kiss each other......"
Xi Lan's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You smashed my leg!" β
Ah Candle hurriedly got up and said to the leg quite sincerely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." You okay? β
Xi Lan squeezed out two words: "...... Money. β
Ah Candle was shocked, she was not a little princess now, her penniless pockets were cleaner than her face, so she could only discuss: "True love is priceless, for my sake, Xi Erlangjun, can it be cheaper?" β
Xi Lan said with compassion: "True love is priceless, double compensation!" β
Ah Candle thought about it and said seriously: "Suddenly I don't seem to like it so much." β
Xi Lan: "......"
Blackening.
After confirming that Xi Lan really didn't like Princess Mingshi, Ah Candle was relieved.
Otherwise, if she is forced to choose between Shaoxu's brother and Xi Lan, she will definitely choose Shaoxu's brother.
Xi Lan is like this, the princess won't like it.
