Chapter 028: Too much deception
A gust of wind came unexpectedly, and the paper kite thread suddenly loosened from the distracted Fu Xuan's hand, and the red and blue Xiyan was no longer involved, and flew higher and higher.
Driven by her body instinct, she lifted her skirt and ran forward a few steps, trying to catch the ball of thread that flew into the air, but in vain.
When he came back to his senses, Fu Xuan laughed out loud.
I can't catch it.
This is true of paper kites, and so are people.
The girls of the Wang family, the Yu family, and the Zhou family came from afar, talking and laughing, giggling, and Fu Xuan seemed to understand the reason why Xie Zhan came.
She wasn't interested in being a spectator and watching her fiancé fight against others.
She turned around and said to Zhang Yao, "Yaoyao, I want to go home." ”
Zhang Yao knew that she was not in high spirits today, so she nodded and said that she would meet again another day.
Fu Xuan said "um", called Linglong, and walked straight to the other direction of the pavilion.
Xie Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a long time, until the red clothes disappeared from view, and he was still a little unclear.
Didn't she ask him out before?
Now that he's all gone, what else is she running?
After listening back to Fengyuan, Xie Zhan pulled out the post of Fuxuan's fragrance that still existed from the middle of the two classics on the middle layer of the Nanmu bookshelf.
He walked slowly back to the rosewood bookcase, sat down on the circle chair, and spread out the flower-drawing invitation.
If the girls are accustomed to writing about Juan Xiuxiaokai, her calligraphy is fluttering, quite chic and unrestrained, like that squeamish and changeable temperament-
"When the summer starts, the grass and trees are sprawling, and the green mountains can be seen, can you swim from me in Danting?"
In just one sentence, he seemed to be able to see it, her little face was slightly raised, her clear and bright eyes stared at him, and her tone was definitely not gentle and gentle, but the usual half-pouting and half-coquettish: "Gongzi Xie, that Danting, are you still going?" ”
The night breeze was blowing, and the light and warmth of the glass cup on the desk projected on Xie Zhan's long eyelashes, illuminating a shadow and covering the emotions in Ruyuan's dark eyes.
It seems to hide those hazy and inhumane thoughts.
He picked up the pen and wrote it down, and he replied to her with a book.
The pen fell on the Wufeng white jade pen bed, and Xie Zhan said lightly: "Shi Qing." ”
Shi Qing heard the sound and entered the study, "Childe." ”
"Send it to the family."
"Now?" Shi Qing asked with a glare.
His son-in-law sat here for a whole hour when he came back from outside, and now it was the end of the day, and the prospective lady might not necessarily see it.
Xie Zhan glanced at the drip and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "Tomorrow, let her not have to post back, and tell you in person." ”
Shi Qing should be.
**
The next day, Shi Qing talked back and forth about this post, saying yes, what the girl said was:
"Not available."
Xie Zhan's movements as he took off his official uniform froze. He turned around in disbelief, trying to see something else on Shi Qing's face.
Shi Qing froze in fright by his flesh-like eyes, and stood straighter than ever, lest the flames of war affect him, a small-tailed pond fish, and repeated: "That's what Mrs. Quasi-said so. Not available. ”
"I didn't say what day."
Xie Zhan's voice was cold and stiff, as if the person who rejected him was not Fu Xuan, but him Shi Qing.
Shi Qing suddenly realized.
Only then did he realize that if he hadn't had a choice, he would definitely not have accepted the task of passing the word between the son and the prospective lady, and the slightest carelessness would lead to the fire.
Xie Zhan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Really, he was disgusted by that person one after another.
Yes, yes!
He threw away his official robe with a "brush", leaving only a snow-white shirt, and he didn't know where the courage to become more and more frustrated came from, and suddenly raised his voice: "You go and ask again tomorrow." ”
These words are like sending a message for him to interrogate the prisoner, what else can Shi Qing say?
He had a hunch that the same question, from the Fu girl, would definitely get the same answer.
Therefore, he stubbornly asked: "Childe, do you want to set a specific date?" ”
Xie Zhan calculated and reported a few in a row: "Tomorrow, May 13, May 18, May 23." ”
When Shi Qing heard this, he suddenly understood that the son was going to vacate all the rest days, and he was going to block the mouth of the girl who refused him for thousands of miles.
He didn't want to touch his head anymore, as if he had received a holy decree, his footsteps were windy, and he slipped away quickly.

After a light rain, the small lotus turns, and the pomegranate blossoms are ready to bloom.
May 13, Liu's Mansion.
The eldest princess of Jialing's hibiscus banquet was held as scheduled.
Because it was the time of Liu Tan Mu in Jingzhao County, the invitation to the Hibiscus banquet was much wider than that of the ordinary place.
The eldest princess of Jialing invited the wife of the famous Wang, Xie, Yu, Zhou, and Zhang families in Jiankang City, and Liu Jingzhao also handed his own invitation to those family owners by the way, and even said that the juniors were welcome to attend.
At this moment, an ordinary flower banquet suddenly turned into a grand gathering of several major families, and became a rare early summer feast in Jiankang City.
Because of the sisterhood of the eldest princess of Jialing and the eldest princess of Jiayang, the new Jin clan is naturally among the invitees.
The summer breeze is warm, and the willow fan flowers are blowing.
As in most flower feasts, the men gather to drink and talk, while the girls enjoy the flowers by themselves.
Because it is early summer, the hibiscus has not yet bloomed, and between the lotus leaves, a few pink and white buds occasionally emerge, dotted on the infinite blue color, scattered and scattered, rare.
"Yaoyao, why don't we go to the middle of the lake and have a look, you see, there are a few small boats in that place, we can hold it out."
Seeing that the hibiscus by the lake was too scarce, Fu Xuan moved the idea of boating to the middle of the lake to pick flowers.
"I won't swim." Zhang Yao lowered his eyes and said worriedly, "If the boat capsizes, what can it be." ”
"I will! Two months ago, did you forget about the incident when I saved Xie Yuan? Fu Xuan smiled, pulled Zhang Yao and walked to the boat.
The hull of the ship was small, and the two friends wanted to be alone, so they sent all the maidservants to the banquet place to wait.
Fu Xuan led Zhang Yao to the boat first, and followed him in.
A flat boat, fluttering.
The two girls sat down face to face, their heads against their heads, their heads bowed, and they talked in a low voice about how to use the oars in their hands.
"Swimming in the lake, how can there be no Lao Tzu, ah?"
Fu Xuan's back stiffened, as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and fear suddenly spread.
She took Zhang Yao's hand, turned to look at the person behind her, and asked, "Young Master Yu, what are you doing here?" ”
Yu Hao hooked half of his lips and smiled, as if he didn't understand Fu Xuan's question, but replied to her question: "Don't you say it, swim in the lake, swim in the lake!" ”
Yu Hao spoke, took a step forward, and happened to be standing next to Fu Xuan, he made a gesture to sit down next to Fu Xuan, Fu Xuan stood up suddenly, and the boat shook violently.
"Xuanxuan!"
Seeing that Fu Xuan couldn't stand on his feet at all after getting up, Zhang Yao shouted eagerly.
Fu Xuan has followed her brothers to pick flowers and pull lotus roots since she was a child, and it is not a problem to deal with this shaking. She quickly arched her waist and walked over to Zhang Yao's side, and in the blink of an eye, she sat down with Zhang Yao.
"It's fine, don't worry." Fu Xuan appeased Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao looked at Yu Hao and said coldly: "Young Master Yu, don't deceive people too much. ”
