"It's an underground river." Bai Nanxiu explained to Ling Ke, "There are many springs and underground rivers in Jingyang, so my great-grandfather dug it up to form a stream in order to irrigate the flowers in front of it. ”

"Wow, my great-grandfather was such a smart man."

Ling Ke said as she turned and ran to a high stand, she wanted to get a better look at the scenery around her.

Pernancius also walked up.

As soon as Ling Ke went up, he found a problem, Grandma Bai Nanxiu's house also had an annex room, which was hidden between the sea of flowers and trees, and could not be seen when he walked up from the front yard, but it was clear from the stands.

"What kind of house is that?" Ling Ke asked, pointing to the annex that was a little smaller than here.

Bai Nanxiu looked at it and said after a long time, "It was built by my grandmother for my sister, and my sister also likes flowers, and she said that she wanted to see flowers as soon as she opened her eyes, so grandma asked her to build that house on the edge of the sea of flowers." ”

In this way, Ling Ke remembered that Bai Nanqin once said that she had a flower house in Australia.

It seems that my sister is really a flower lover.

And she is also like a flower, elegant, beautiful, and distressing.

Ling Ke shook her head, she didn't want to show this emotion towards Bai Nanqin in front of Bai Nanxiu, so she looked farther away.

"Hey, we still have neighbors?" She asked, pointing to a magnificent villa outside the walls.

Bai Nanxiu frowned, "It's Xiao Yingcheng's house." ”

"He lives next door to us?"

"It's not like they were neighbors from the beginning, this house seems to have been built in five or six years." Bai Nanxiu didn't seem to want to talk about Xiao Yingcheng, so he took Ling Ke's hand and said let's go, and took her down the stands.

Ling Ke asked while following Bai Nanxiu downstairs, "You said yesterday that the second uncle would come over to take care of the house here, is the second uncle your father's younger brother?" ”

"It's not a brother, after my grandfather was born, my second uncle's parents took a lot of care of my grandmother, and later my grandmother recognized the second uncle as a righteous son."

"Where do they live?"

"It's not far ......"

Before Bai Nanxiu finished speaking, he heard a loud man shouting in the front room.

"Ah Xiu, is Ah Xiu you?"

Bai Nanxiu hurriedly walked out, and said to Ling Ke as he walked, "My second uncle is here. ”

Ling Ke followed Bai Nanxiu's footsteps out of the front room, and saw a stout man of about fifty standing outside, with a smile on his face, but he looked very honest.

As soon as he saw Bai Nanxiu, he came up and punched him, and said with a smile, "You kid is finally willing to come back!" ”

Bai Nanxiu shouted with a smile to the second uncle, it seems that he usually has a good relationship with this second uncle.

Ling Ke walked up to the man and shouted Second Uncle.

"This is my niece and daughter-in-law!" The man pointed at Ling Ke and asked, "Oh, last time I heard that you got married, I went to your house to congratulate you, your father said that you went back to S City, and then you held a wedding in S City, and your father didn't tell us, so I didn't drink the wine." ”

Bai Nanxiu hurriedly explained.

The man expressed understanding, "I know, it's not easy for you to get married, so it's good to get married." After speaking, he asked Ling Ke again, "Have you moved all your luggage in?" In the evening, I went to the second uncle's house for dinner, and your second aunt's skills are good. ”

Ling Ke looked at Bai Nanxiu.

Bai Nanxiu agreed.

In the evening, Bai Nanxiu led Ling Ke to the second uncle's house, the second uncle's surname is Fang, his name is Fang Chenggang, and he has a daughter named Fang Xi, who is about the same age as Ling Ke and is still in college.

Fang Xi saw Bai Nanxiu coming, and called out to Brother very affectionately, then looked at Ling Ke, and thought for a long time before calling out to his sister-in-law.

Bai Nanxiu quipped, "Fang Xi, why do you want to think about it for so long?" ”

Fang Xi said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is like a high school student, I'm afraid I'll call it wrong." After speaking, she leaned in front of Bai Nanxiu and asked in a low voice, "Brother, you tell me honestly, are you an old cow eating tender grass?" ”

Bai Nanxiu laughed when he heard this.

Ling Ke found it interesting, she didn't expect Bai Nanxiu to have such relatives, no wonder Bai Nanxiu's grandmother would give him the house and Bai Nanqin, there are such lovely people in this neighborhood, but they are much more vibrant than the luxurious and noble house.

After dinner, Fang Xi and Ling Ke were completely acquainted, and when she heard that Ling Ke had graduated from college and was still a year older than her, she didn't believe it.

"I thought you were eighteen!" Fang Xi shook his head as he spoke, "No wonder my brother doesn't want to go back to the imperial capital, this imperial capital girl has a too rich personality and looks like a lord, not like the docile and cute girls in your S City." ”

Ling Ke listened to Fang Xi say this and looked her up and down, in fact, Fang Xi also belongs to that kind of petite girl, she is also very pleasing, with special eyes, she smiles when she speaks, like the moon.

She thought that what Fang Xi said about Hao might be referring to character.

There is a kind of pride in Fang Xi's character, which can be seen from what she said to Ling Ke when she patted her chest before leaving.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, if my brother bullies you, you can tell me, my brother has been afraid of me since he was a child."

Ling Ke took his eyes to see Bai Nanxiu.

Bai Nanxiu just laughed, "Okay, I let you when I was a child, who is afraid of a caterpillar!" ”

"I'm not talking about caterpillars!" After Fang Xi finished speaking, she still raised her good-looking brows up and down, and smiled thief.

Back in the house, Ling Ke asked Bai Nanxiu, "What did Fang Xi mean when he said that it wasn't a caterpillar just now?" ”

"Have you ever seen someone water flowers with their own waste for the sake of the environment? Fang Xi did it! ”

Ling Ke instantly understood that this was a challenge for Bai Nanxiu, who had a habit of cleanliness.

She suddenly liked this Fang Xi a little, and felt that this girl was comparable to her character, she was a daredevil!

After living in Jingyang's house, the first thing Ling Ke had to do was to purchase daily necessities.

So the next day, she went to a nearby large supermarket under the leadership of Fang Xi.

The two of them bought about the same, Fang Xi asked Ling Ke to line up, she wanted to buy some school supplies.

"Let's do it together, you have helped me choose for so long, and I can also help you choose."

With that, the two of them went to the area where they bought stationery.

Ling Ke looked at the stationery on the shelves, not only did she feel that she was going to be admitted to the graduate school of A University before, but now because Bai Nan returned to the imperial capital, her plan was in vain, and then she was a real social person.

What to do next, being a housewife or learning to be independent.

What can she do if she is independent?

Just as Ling Ke was standing in front of the shelves in a daze, a surprised voice came.

"Sister Ling Ke!"

Ling Ke hurriedly turned his head to look at the visitor.

It's Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao also couldn't believe her eyes, she looked Ling Ke up and down and asked curiously, "Aren't you from S City, how can you be in the imperial capital?" ”

"I'm married to the imperial capital." Ling Ke said truthfully, "My husband is from the imperial capital. ”

"Oh, I see!"

At this time, Fang Xi walked up to Ling Ke and asked, "Sister-in-law, you have met a friend." ”

Ling Ke hurriedly introduced Xiao Xiao to Fang Xi.

"This is a friend I met on my honeymoon, named Xiao Xiao."

She also introduced Fang Xi to Xiao Xiao, "This is Fang Xi of my husband's sister." ”

The two girls nodded in hello.

"Do you live around here?" Xiao Xiao asked.

Ling Ke nodded.

"I've moved here because it's close to University B, and by the way, I'm going to be a college student at University B right away."

"You're a big B," Fang Xi hurriedly said, "Me too, but I'm going to be a senior soon." ”

When Xiao Xiao heard this, she was even more happy, she stepped forward and grabbed Fang Xi's hand and actually shouted Hello, senior sister.

Ling Ke originally thought that Xiao Xiao would leave after saying hello to them, but he didn't expect that this girl had been chatting with them, and finally everyone paid together and walked out of the supermarket.

Ling Ke and Fang Xi couldn't drive, and when they came to the supermarket, Fang Xi's father sent them over.

When Xiao Xiao saw it, he hurriedly shook the car key, "I'll give you a ride, the driver's license I just got." ”

Ling Ke didn't want to get too close to Xiao Xiao because of the relationship between Xiao Yingcheng and Bai Nanqin, but Xiao Xiao was very enthusiastic and desperately pulled Ling Ke into the car.

Fang Xi also passively got into the car, she saw that Xiao Xiao was looking at one or two million luxury cars when she was young, and couldn't help but secretly say to Ling Ke, "Sister-in-law, she seems to be the daughter of a rich family." ”

"Yes, he is the third lady of Tianyu International and the younger sister of Xiao Yingcheng."

Fang Xi hurriedly covered her mouth when she heard this, as the sister of Bai Nanqin and Bai Nanxiu with different surnames, she knew what happened to Bai Nanqin seven years ago.

When he looked at Xiao Xiao again, Fang Xi was a little careful.

Xiao Xiao parked the car in front of Ling Ke's house, and couldn't help but stretch out his neck and look at the house number.

"Sister Ling Ke, you live here, isn't this the house of the Bai Group?"

Ling Ke had no choice but to tell the truth, "Yes, my husband is Bai Nanxiu of the Bai Group. ”

"Ahh Xiao Xiao looked at Ling Ke in surprise, "So that's the case!" I didn't expect it at all, but I hadn't met Bai Nanxiu before, and I didn't know it would be such a coincidence! ”

Ling Ke felt that what Xiao Xiao said was the truth, no wonder, she was only eighteen years old, and the Bai family and the Xiao family did not interact, even if Xiao Yingcheng and Bai Nanqin had anything before, it was seven or eight years ago, and she was only about ten years old at the time, and it was probably a big deal for her to go home every day to watch cartoons.

It's understandable not to know.

"I live next door." Xiao Xiao pointed to Xiao Yingcheng's villa, "That was my eldest brother's house, and now it is temporarily occupied by me." ”

Ling Ke sighed, "I didn't expect that we would be neighbors, what a coincidence!" ”

"yes, I think it's a coincidence." Xiao Xiao turned around and said to Ling Ke, "Sister Ling Ke, you have time to come to our house to play." ”

"Okay."

"I'll come to your house when I have time." Xiao Xiao said, "My dad recently loosened my bonds, so I have a lot of time to waste." ”

As she spoke, she laughed happily.

Ling Ke recalled the scene after his college entrance examination, and at that time he really felt that the sea and the sky could fly all the time.

Xiao Xiao is probably like this, although she was born in a wealthy family, but for this place that pays attention to academic qualifications, she is afraid that she has also been oppressed by three years of study, and now that she has been released, she will have a good impression of everything.

She was so innocent that she wanted to be friends with her, and she ......

Ling Ke felt that she was too cautious, the Xiao family and the Bai family were naturally formed antagonisms, Xiao Yingcheng and Xiao Nanqin were also tricked by fate, which had nothing to do with her and Xiao Xiao, and this did not affect them to become friends.

"Okay." Ling Ke's tone also felt enthusiastic, "If you have time, you can come over and play, there are a lot of flowers in my yard, and I am still going to learn to make bread in the past two days, you can come and make it together." ”

"Really?" Xiao Xiao clapped his hands happily, "Great, I'll come over after lunch." ”

Ling Ke returned home with a shopping bag, and hurriedly reported his itinerary to her husband Bai Nanxiu, who was at work.

"Did you meet Xiao Xiao?" Bai Nanxiu was a little surprised, "It seems that you are very destined." ”

"Yes, she still lives in Xiao Yingcheng's villa, I think she doesn't want to go home and be restrained, so we will become neighbors."

"That's not bad, you can find her to play, otherwise I won't worry about you being home alone."

Ling Ke was stunned, she didn't expect that Brother Bai Nan would suggest this.

"But, you ...... with the Xiao family"

"This is a factional issue, not a personal problem, not to mention Xiao Yingcheng's matter with his sister, I think he is also very painful, the child's affairs are handled by my mother, and it has nothing to do with him, maybe he doesn't know at all, so this does not affect your relationship with Xiao Xiao, one is one and two is two."

Ling Ke snorted.

Pernancius continued, "I have a party in the evening, and I will go back very late, so it doesn't matter if you are home alone, right? ”

"It doesn't matter, I'll just lock the door, and besides, I'm bold, don't worry."

"I'm sorry," said Bai Nanxiu, "I'll leave you alone as soon as I arrive in the imperial capital, I'll ......"

"It's okay, you must have a lot to do when you take over the company, and it's not too late to accompany me when you're done with this while."

Bai Nanxiu smiled, "You are really an obedient baby, wait for me at night." ”

Ling Ke snorted like a cat, she understood Bai Nanxiu's message that was waiting for him at night.

It's nothing more than that!

At noon, Xiao Xiao came as promised, and the two girls were making bread in the sunlit kitchen.

While waiting for the bread to come out, Ling Ke made a cup of black tea for Xiao Xiao and himself, and the two of them sat at the square table in the kitchen and chatted while drinking tea.

The topic naturally brings to the events in Bali.

Xiao Xiao pursed his mouth and began to complain, "My second brother was not like this before, although he likes to play, he is not a person who doesn't know proportions, I don't know why he took an unknown woman to the beach when he arrived in Bali." ”

Ling Ke became interested in Xiao Xiao's second brother, and she asked, "What did your second brother do with a woman he didn't know to the beach, so that he made your eldest brother cancel his vacation?" ”

Ling Ke actually wanted to ask her second brother if he was going to poop, if so, this Xiao Yang was really a strange flower.

Xiao Xiao blushed and said hesitantly, "It's a matter between men and women, I'm embarrassed to say it." ”

Ling Ke saw Xiao Xiao's dodgy expression, and immediately understood that Xiao Yang was not playing children's tricks with women on the beach that day, he was going to the field.

No wonder Brother Bernan is so angry, it's really dirty.

Ling Ke felt uncomfortable like eating a fly, and she didn't like it very much.

Xiao Xiao took a sip of tea and explained to Ling Ke, "Actually, my second brother is not a very merry person, he is still measured in playing, it may be that my father recently asked him to get married, and he was a little unhappy, so he went out to fool around." ”

"Your second brother is getting married? But your eldest brother isn't over yet! ”

"My eldest brother doesn't want to tie the knot, Yu Lian is so anxious, but my eldest brother is tepid, and he is also cold and indifferent to her, even I can see that my eldest brother doesn't like Yu Lian at all. It's a pity that Yu Lian likes him, no way. ”

Ling Ke thought of Bai Nanqin, and thought to himself that after so many years, Xiao Yingcheng had not forgotten his eldest sister.

However, even if they continue to lead, the problem will still exist.

It is impossible for Gu Mingyu to let Bai Nanqin marry Xiao Yingcheng.

Hey, it seems that she is the happiest person here.

"Sister Ling Ke, you can go to my eldest brother's villa at night, there is a party over there today."

Ling Ke didn't want to go, although Bai Nanxiu didn't care, but she was worried that Gu Mingyu cared, and the new daughter-in-law always felt bad playing with the people of the Xiao family.

"I'm going out at night, I'm sorry, I can't go." Ling Ke politely declined.

Xiao Xiao was a little lost.

In the evening, Ling Ke was bored walking in the yard, and suddenly a head popped out of the courtyard wall, it was Xiao Xiao.

"Sister Ling Ke, aren't you going out, why are you taking a walk?"

Ling Ke was embarrassed, thinking that this kid really had nothing to do all day long, why did he keep staring at her.

She hurriedly prevaricated, "I was going to go out, but Bai Nanxiu said that I am not familiar with this place, so it is better to stay at home at night." ”

"That's just right, come here!" Xiao Xiao beckoned to her.

"I'm not going to go, it's too far from here to your house."

"Not far away, there's a small door here, I found it today."

Ling Ke was taken aback, there was a small door between Bai Nanxiu's house and Xiao Yingcheng's house, she didn't know!

While Ling Ke was thinking wildly, Xiao Xiao came in through the small door.

"Look, I'm in!" She smiled at Ling Ke, her innocent appearance made people pity.

Ling Ke walked to the small door, the door was obviously pressed later, it was hidden in the bushes, and it really couldn't be seen if you didn't look carefully.

Who opened the little door?

"Sister Ling Ke, let's go over, there are a lot of delicious things in the villa, which my eldest brother asked the hotel to prepare!"

When it came to eating, Ling Ke was a little moved, the bread she baked with Xiao Xiao at noon was not very successful, and besides, she ate alone, and felt that there was no taste in what she ate.

So, she's hungry right now.

"Xiao Xiao, it's okay for me to go, but don't introduce me to anyone as Bai Nanxiu's wife." Ling Ke whispered.

Xiao Xiao immediately understood, "I know, my eldest brother warned me not to come here to play this afternoon, I asked Yu Lian to know that your family has never been in contact with our family." ”

Ling Ke also said frankly, "I also found out later, but Bai Nanxiu asked me to be friends with you. ”

"Really?" Xiao Xiao was happy again, "It's still your husband who is sensible, it's true, it's a man's business if the two families don't get along, what's wrong with us women being friends, I'm going to marry out in the future anyway, and you are the one who married, and it has nothing to do with the Bai family and the Xiao family." ”

Xiao Xiao's remarks won Ling Ke's heart.

She carried the group of clothes and followed Xiao Xiao into the courtyard of the Xiao family.

Compared with the flowers and grass of Bai Nanxiu's house, the courtyard of the Xiao family seems to be a little depressed and single, with a few fences made of hedges, and then a very flat meadow, no stone road and no butterflies flying, and then there is a three-story villa.

The Xiao family's party was held on the grass.

When Ling Ke followed Xiao Xiao, the men and women were chatting together, and the waiter in waiter costume was shuttling through the crowd with goblets.

Xiao Xiao helped Ling Ke get a glass of juice, and then took her to the dining area.

"Sister Ling Ke, if someone comes to talk to me later, can you help me block it?"

Ling Ke looked at Xiao Xiao puzzled, "Why, didn't you say that you are bored, it's not good for someone to chat with you?" ”

"What the hell are you talking about, it's just some sycophancy." Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes at the crowd, "Some people come to me to be courteous because they don't fancy the status of my family, they don't have any sincerity at all, which makes people taste bad." ”

Ling Ke felt that Xiao Xiao was quite mature in this regard, and it seemed that she was also a girl with a true temperament, and she would be disgusted by those who approached her with a purpose.

This may be the trouble of the children of the family.

Didn't Bai Nanxiu once say that it was impossible for him to make real friends in the imperial capital.

Because the people around them only have interests in their eyes!

Sure enough, not long after Xiao Xiao finished speaking, some young talents dressed up in fashion came over to greet her, some praised her for becoming more and more beautiful, and some asked her out to play.

Ling Ke thought, these men probably want to pursue Xiao Xiao.

But if you don't really like Xiao Xiao, then you don't know.

In order to cooperate with Xiao Xiao, as long as someone asks Xiao Xiao to go out to play, Ling Ke will come to the side, "Xiao Xiao, didn't you make an appointment with a few of us that day?" ”

From the beginning of the month to the end of the month, they all made an appointment.

Xiao Xiao was very grateful for Ling Ke's help, she pulled Ling Ke to sit in an inconspicuous corner and began to talk about her thoughts.

"I really want to have a vigorous love, and I have a desperate love with a man I like!" Xiao Xiao pouted yearningly as she spoke.

"And what kind of boy do you like?"

Xiao Xiao thought for a while, "It shouldn't be like my eldest brother, who has a gloomy face all day long, and ignores Lian Ai, if I can't stand it." can't be like my second brother, there are a lot of rotten peach blossoms, and he doesn't feel safe at all when he is his girlfriend. ”

"So you want a man who gives you security?" Ling Ke and Xiao Xiao analyzed.

"Of course, the second thing is to take care of people and comfort people!"

Ling Ke thought about it, isn't this what Bai Nanxiu is talking about?

But when she thought about it, Bai Nanxiu seemed to only take care of her alone, and he ignored other women, similar to Xiao Xiao's eldest brother.

"Preferably a single eyelid!" Xiao Xiao finally gave an intuitive standard.

"Single eyelid?" Ling Ke secretly crossed out her husband, and Bai Nanxiu's eyes were charming double eyelids.

Xiao Xiao nodded, "Yes, I like big-eyed boys with single eyelids, and it's best to have slightly thicker lips." ”

When Ling Ke heard her say this, he immediately turned his gaze to the crowd, wanting to see if there were any such boys here.

At this time, Xiao Yingcheng happened to appear at the party, and his arrival immediately caused a commotion.

Ling Ke took the opportunity to look at him, last time she was in Bali she just glanced at him in a hurry, this time she took a closer look and found that Xiao Yingcheng was a very handsome man, he wore a pair of glasses, and there was a kind of stability and calmness unique to a mature man in his gestures.

He doesn't gesture much, but his eyes are very sharp, and although he has a smile in his eyes, he is not less majestic.

It is fully worthy of the elegance and beauty of Bai Nanqin.

Ling Ke began to lean Bai Nanqin towards Xiao Yingcheng's side, and she found that compared to the charming Yu Lian, Bai Nanqin's temperament was more compatible with Xiao Yingcheng.

Pity......

She shook her head and sighed helplessly.
