Mingyulou, Qin Li saw the man in front of him again after being picked out by his grandfather last time, and he couldn't help but have a few different emotions in his heart.

Although it has only been a little more than a month, the situation has changed a little bit.

At that time, Xia Jingyun was still just a young man with uncertain prospects and no official position, although he had some background and some reputation, but after all, he was not confident enough on the official road.

But now, he is already the champion of the three yuan in Lianzhong, and he is a four-grade official who moves three times a day, barely enough to be the title of a high-ranking official, and he is also the minister of the Holy Family.

"Xia Langzhong, can you know, what is the matter with the little woman who took the liberty to ask for it today?"

Qin Li put away the emotions in his heart, and asked calmly with a smile as before.

The most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, Xia Jingyun could only pretend to be confused and shook his head.

"Yesterday, my grandfather discussed with my father and wanted to figure out a way that you could hardly refuse, so that you could agree to marry the Qin family, that is, agree to marry me."

Xia Jingyun's hand holding the tea to his lips stiffened, and he looked at Qin Li and didn't know what to say.

"Xia Langzhong doesn't need to panic."

Qin Li smiled slightly, and there was a bit of sadness hidden in that seemingly gentle smile, "I have already made it clear to my grandfather and father that I will not snatch love from me and get involved in the relationship between Xia Langzhong and Miss Su." He will not make any undivided requests, so that Xia Langzhong will be embarrassed, and it will also damage the cooperation between our two sides. ”

Qin Li's direct words made Xia Jingyun a little embarrassed, "Miss Qin's words are serious, no, no." ”

"In the future, the Qin family will still support Concubine De Niangniang and the King of Jiaodong County as mentioned before."

Qin Li forcibly suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and said calmly: "And I, as before, will cooperate well with Xia Langzhong and broaden the financial path together." ”

Xia Jingyun pursed his lips slightly, after these days of contact, Qin Li is indeed his good match, calm, wise, decisive, and at the same time has outstanding literary and business acumen, but the problem is that Su Yanyan is also a rare strange woman in the world, and these two, from family background to heart, are absolutely impossible to be concubines.

He sighed, "Miss Qin will definitely find a better Ruyi Langjun in the future, don't forget to invite me to a glass of wedding wine at that time." ”

Qin Li's eyes turned red immediately, and he quietly touched the chopsticks to the ground, took the opportunity to bend down to pick up the chopsticks, wiped the corners of his eyes, raised his head again, and said with a forced smile: "I hope." It doesn't matter if I can't find it, now that my eldest brother has passed away, it's good that I can serve my parents wholeheartedly. ”

Xia Jingyun was silent, in this situation, he really didn't want to say anything, no matter how he said it, it seemed hypocritical.

"Oh, yes!"

Qin Li suddenly said: "I know that you are going to Longshou Prefecture to do business, and you are not familiar with life there, I have compiled a list of the Qin family's various properties in Longshou Prefecture, and there are some Qin family subordinates that you can trust and rely on for the time being, if there is a need, you can call it." If you don't think you can believe it, you can repair a book at that time, and I will personally rush to Longshou Prefecture. ”

She handed the booklet to Xia Jingyun on the side, and didn't mention it halfway, she pulled her grandfather to stay up until dawn last night, and her grandfather muttered for a while for this matter, and turned her elbow out before she got married, and she didn't know how to feel sorry for her grandfather.

Thinking of this, her eyes were hot again, and she couldn't help but tilt her head slightly.

Xia Jingyun looked at the booklet in his hand, and his heart was full of emotion, although he didn't know Qin Li's efforts behind this, but he also understood that people could think of this layer for him, which showed that he was deeply affectionate.

He stood up and saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Miss Qin." ”

Qin Li took a deep breath, restrained his emotions, and squeezed out a polite and reluctant smile, "Okay, after the matter is over, let's have a good taste of Mingyulou's food, I haven't eaten a few bites a few times before." ”

Xia Jingyun nodded.

"No wine is not a feast, Xia Langzhong, the little woman will pour you a glass."

"Thank you, Miss Qin, Miss Qin, this glass of wine is a toast to you, thank you for your continued support."

"Xia Langzhong said this, he was rusty."

The meal was simple and uneventful.

Xia Jingyun stood up, "Miss Qin, I won't bother much here, thank you for your hospitality." ”

Qin Li also got up slowly and said with a smile: "Xia Langzhong is polite, a light meal, thank Xia Langzhong for his face." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Today's farewell, it's goodbye when you come back from Longshouzhou, Miss Qin, take care." ”

Qin Li nodded, slightly blessed, "Take care." ”

Xia Jingyun bowed slightly, turned around and walked down the stairs.

Qin Li stood at the entrance of the building, watching the green shirt go down step by step, step by step, as if a happiness was leaving her so vividly and concretely.

"Xia Gongzi!"

She changed back to her old name.

Xia Jingyun stopped and turned around.

"Have you ever had me in your heart?"

Xia Jingyun was silent for a moment, did not answer, and walked again.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Tsing Yi and Tsing Yi are separated by a corridor, but they seem to be separated by a moat that cannot be crossed.

It was a coincidence of fate, it was like the helplessness of hating when you were not married, and it was also a regret in life.

Qin Li sat down on the ground, as if the question just now had drained her of all her strength and courage, and she hid her face and sobbed.

At a certain moment, she actually thought that if she wasn't the daughter of the Qin family, wouldn't she be able to.

Xia Jingyun stopped downstairs, heard the faint cry from upstairs, and couldn't help but hesitate.

At that moment, he was also asking himself, "Did you ever have her in your heart?" ”

The answer is yes.

Lowering his head, looking at the booklet in his hand, the wine was quietly emboldening him.

It's the little ones who make the choice!

He gritted his teeth, turned around, and rushed upstairs.

"Don't cry."

Qin Li's ears suddenly remembered a familiar warm voice, and she looked up in astonishment to see the person who had gone and returned.

"You just asked me, and I have the answer. But I want to ask you a question first. ”

Xia Jingyun stared at her, "I don't want to lose Yanyan, but I don't want to lose you either, so if you want to have a happy ending that satisfies everyone, it may be difficult, are you willing to believe me and wait for me?" ”

Qin Li didn't answer, but threw himself into Xia Jingyun's arms and hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that he would slip away from him again.

Tears rained down and wet my shoulders.

After a while, when Qin Li calmed down a little, Xia Jingyun took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Do you remember the day we first met?" ”

Qin Li raised her face with pear blossoms and nodded, "This year's Shangyuan Festival." ”

"You kept saying I owed you a poem, so I wrote one for you, and I almost didn't send it out just now."

Qin Li stretched out her hand to take it, but the gesture of hugging each other was not easy to open, so Xia Jingyun whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, I'll read it to you." ”

Qin Li's ears seemed to have a warm breeze blowing, making her ears appear a seductive crimson when they scratched them.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain."

The warm voice gently came into his ears, leaning on Xia Jingyun's chest, Qin Li's thoughts were suddenly dragged back to the brightly lit and colorful night of the Shangyuan Festival.

"BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. ”

Gorgeous carriages and tall horses filled the crowded roads.

Yale is everywhere, the bright moon is harmonious, and the huge lanterns of different shapes are endlessly flowing on the royal street.

"The moth snow willow is golden, and the laughter is full of dark fragrance."

He and her "encountered" in front of the lantern riddle stall, smiled lightly, said a few words and left.

"The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the dim light."

Qin Li's heart shook.

"At that time, you guessed the lantern riddle correctly, but you didn't take a gift, I looked for you for a long time, and then I saw you standing in the scattered place under the porch, and said with a smile that you gave me a poem, let me return you a poem."

Xia Jingyun lowered his head and said with a smile: "Are you still satisfied with this poem?" If you're not satisfied, I'll recite it to you. ”

"Satisfied!"

Qin Li spoke eagerly, with a slightly red face and affectionate eyes in his eyes.

At this moment, the atmosphere quietly became ambiguous.

Xia Jingyun looked at the delicate face in front of him and couldn't help lowering his head.

Qin Li slowly closed his eyes, and his long curved eyelashes trembled nervously.

After a while, seeing Xia Jingyun get into the carriage and leave under the escort of the guards, the maidservant who was specially sent by Qin Li immediately ran upstairs with the corners of her skirt.

"Miss! Are you okay? ”

Finding that the young lady was neatly dressed and the room was furnished as before, the maid quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she saw that the young lady was sitting at the table, holding a piece of paper, and was stunned, she leaned over curiously.

"Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind, huh? Is this written by Xia Gongzi? Well, yes, this person is still good, the young lady invited him to dinner, and finally knew that he would return the gift, and he was not blind to the jade plate. ”

The maidservant girl was a little happy, and the old god commented on the ground, and then said, "Miss, I'll go find someone to copy it and hang it up in the front gatehouse." ”

"Come back!"

Qin Li said softly, and then stopped the maid's footsteps, "This poem, don't hang!" ”

As he spoke, Qin Li folded the poem, and with a sweet smile, solemnly put it into his deep chest.
