When she reacted, she found that Childe was looking at her calmly. Not far away, the face of a dead man changed and changed, and finally shook his head and looked away.

Tangerine sugar: ......

Xie Yu saw her come back to her senses, didn't say anything, stepped forward and left. Tangerine hurriedly followed, blushing. By the time the same son stopped again, he had already arrived at King Jing's study.

The guard guarding the door saw it and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen my lord." ”

Just this sound revealed the familiarity of Xie Yuwan and King Jing. His eyes faded for a moment, and the guard hurriedly opened the door of the study: "Your Excellency, please come in." ”

Tangtang watched from behind, she was used to such scenes. Wherever she went, because of the power and status of the childe, everyone was respectful with her as a slave.

Whenever this happens, she thinks of the past. Tangtang's eyes were stunned for a moment, but when he saw that Xie Yuwan had entered, he still subconsciously followed in.

When the door of the study was closed again, Xie Yuwan looked at the person in front of the desk.

is dressed in a plain white dress, with only a jasper hairpin on his head. When Xie Yuwan came in, she had already gotten up, and when she saw the young man coming from the light and shadow, she saluted gently.

It's not someone else, it's the county lord of Ningyu.

"Xu Ningyu." Looking at the plain white dress on her body, the noble young man's voice was a little cold, and he didn't even call 'county lord', but directly called her full name.

The tone was cold, and Tangtang blinked lightly, not knowing why Childe was.

Xu Ningyu was in the study, hanging her head, completely different from her usual behavior, and whispered: "My lord." ”

Xie Yuwan said lightly: "They asked you to change into this clothes?" ”

Xu Ningyu didn't nod or shake his head, but just said softly: "What adults know, such a 'big thing', Ning Yu can't be the master." What the adults want Ning Yu to do today, Ning Yu has already arranged. ”

"They also asked you to invite her?"

Even though neither of them said it explicitly, Tangerine still understood. The 'they' here can only be King Jing and the prince, and the 'she' here should be Miss Jiang San.

Why did King Jing and Shizi invite Miss?

Tangerine continued to listen.

Xu Ningyu just quietly handed over the things in her hand, she looked at the plain white dress on her body lightly, and said lightly: "My lord, Ning Yu can't be the master." ”

Mo Huai watched silently from the side.

Xu Ning Yugui is the county lord, and he seems to be favored by the sky, but in fact he is just a puppet of his father and brother. At the beginning, the prince didn't like Princess Chuyang's pursuit, and in order to please the prince, King Jing's Mansion secretly asked the county lord of Ningyu to do those things.

Since then, the rumors that the lord of Ningyu County admires the prime minister are well known to everyone in Chang'an. Princess Chuyang also turned around and aimed at Lord Ningyu. When Childe found out, rumors were already flying.

Xu Ningyu handed over a piece of rice paper full of people's names.

Xie Yuwan glanced at it lightly, then took a few steps forward and lit it in the candle flame.

Xu Ningyu finally withdrew his gaze from his body and looked at the young man in front of him who was reflected in the candlelight: "What the adults promised me will be done, right?" ”

Xie Yuwan looked at her, and his tone was a little softer: "Naturally." ”

The girl, who had always looked indifferent, finally had a smile in her eyes, and said softly: "The seat of the adult, Ning Yu is arranged next to the young lady." Although the adult had not instructed it, Ning Yu felt that it seemed better to arrange it this way. ”

Xie Yuwan was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything.

*

It was getting dark.

The lanterns in King Jing's Mansion were lit up one by one, and Jiang Wu stood next to Si Luoshui, watching quietly. She didn't quite remember what she looked like, when her aunt was sick in bed, and she went to school as usual.

That day seemed to be no different from every day of her fifteen-year-old life.

Under the lantern, Chenlian looked at the young lady in front of her, and the earrings on her white and tender earlobes were the jade pendants that Anya had sent. Although it is not precious, it is better to be clean, and it matches the plain white dress on the young lady's body very well.

When she sat down, Jiang Wu didn't pay much attention to her surroundings.

Until she saw a noble young man in the distance like a green bamboo in the snow, walking towards her.

He was as pale as usual, his figure was slender, and when he raised his eyes, they were like the extremely precious paintings she had seen in his study, and they slowly unfolded in front of her in the bright candlelight of a room.

She lowered her eyes casually and looked at the snacks on the table.

Until the young man stopped beside her and took his seat.

There are all kinds of dim sum on the table, it may be that there are really too many, Jiang Wu hung her head and chose for a long time, but she didn't choose a suitable one.

Chapter 52

The banquet was quiet for a moment because of Xie Yuwan's arrival, and then Gu Zi made a noise.

The Prime Minister has a good relationship with the Jing Palace, which is a well-known thing in Chang'an City. Now that the county lord of Changning and the banquet are feasting, it is also common for the prime minister to come to the banquet.

On weekdays, at the banquet next to him, the Prime Minister likes to sit in the corner, so the position at this moment is reasonable.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment or two, and then began to talk to their friends again.

Only Jiang Wu always looked at the snacks on the table.

She is a little maid in Fengchang Mansion, how can she be arranged next to the prime minister at such a banquet. Jiang Wu didn't want to think about it, after all, this was not something she could decide.

Maybe it's because of the name of the 'student'.

On the side, the young man looked at the dance music in front of him faintly, and did not glance at her. This made Jiang Yu a lot more comfortable, she put down those things in the past, and naturally didn't want to have any more intersections with Xie Wan.

Until a soft 'Miss' came from his side.

The sound is soft, it's orange candy.

Jiang Wu was stunned, subconsciously looked over, and then saw Tangtang winking at her. In a short time, Tangerine Candy had already arrived beside her, taking Morning Lotus's place, pouring wine for her.

When Tangerine Candy came over, Chenlian quietly stepped aside.

Jiang Wu looked at the orange candy, her eyes were very gentle. If there is anything she can't give up in her previous life, it may only be orange candy. She whispered, "Tangerine Candy, good evening." ”

Tangerine handed over a glass of wine, and the wine on the table for the ladies at the banquet was sweet fruit wine. Only this time, it is no longer a sparkling wine, the wine is glutinous and white, exuding a faint lychee aroma.

Jiang Wu was a little surprised, lychee brewing is already a luxury.

Now it's just a banquet for the unruly unfavored county lord, is the Jingwang Mansion already so extravagant?

She took a sip, it was not like the last wine, the aroma of lychee wine was very light, only a faint sweetness, but it was exceptionally fragrant. If it's hotter, it's better when chilled.

Tangtang looked at her with a pair of bright eyes, and said softly, "Have you finished eating Miss's crescent candy?" ”

Jiang Wu shook her head: "No, it's not that Tangerine Candy said to Chenlian, I can only use one a day." ”

These words amused Tangerine, and she whispered, "Tangerine Sugaryuan also thought that she would not be able to see Miss until the day when Miss ran out of crescent candy." Before the future of King Jing's Mansion today, Tangtang didn't know that he would see Miss. ”

Jiang Wu's eyes were stunned for a moment, Tangerine Candy was telling her that the matter she was invited to today had nothing to do with Xie Yuwan. After knowing that it had nothing to do with him, the faint panic in her heart also subsided.

After a few more conversations with Tangerine, Tangtang went back.

said that it was going back, but in fact, it was two steps to the next table. In the distance, King Jing and the county lord of Changning had already attended, and she watched quietly from a distance, and some young ladies below went up to send congratulatory gifts.

In the afterglow, she found that Xie Yuwan had also prepared a brocade box.

Thinking that it was a gift to the county lord of Changning, she had been waiting quietly, and the banquet should not really start until the gift was over.

In the distance, Si Luoshui also stepped forward to deliver a wooden box, and when he saw her in the distance, he bent his eyes and smiled at her. The celebrant on the side also nodded slightly to her.

She nodded in response.

Tangtang watched from the side, then at Childe beside him, and finally at the brocade box on the table.

Gongzi is familiar with King Jing, and he has also met with the county lord of Ningyu a few times, but the county lord of Changning, the Jingwang Mansion protects the county lord of Changning well, and never lets the county lord of Changning get involved in those things, where will the prince have anything to do with the county lord of Changning.

It is even more impossible to give a gift.

Sure enough, until the banquet was about to begin, the brocade box was always on the table.

Jiang Wu lowered her eyes, thinking about the matter of Shangyang's account book. She had almost remembered the past few days, only two or three details, and some of them needed to be considered. But I don't know if Xie Wanwan is in a hurry, if she is in a hurry, she can give him this one in her hand first, and then think about those places by herself.

Thinking of this, she was hesitating how to speak, when she heard the young man on the side say lightly: "Shouldn't the student give the master a toast?" ”

......

Jiang Yu turned to look at Xie Yuwan, and he also happened to turn around and look at her calmly.

Even though hundreds of lanterns were lit in the lobby, it was already dark after all, and their location was in the corner, and the candles were not very bright.

The light was like a little firefly reflecting the young man's phoenix eyes, which were as cold as snow.

Jiang Wu quickly lowered her head and looked at the glass of lychee wine on the table.

It was a rite for students to toast with their masters. Having said that, she also toasted her wine a few times, but when Xie Yuwan said it like this, Jiang Wu always felt a little weird.

But left and right is just a glass of wine.

She picked up her glass, turned around, and whispered to him, "Master." ”

In an instant, Jiang Wu suddenly remembered. In her previous life, she was completely unfamiliar with these rituals, not even toasting. On the day of the wedding, after everyone else dispersed, only she and Xie Yuwan were left in the room.

She lowered her head, and could only see the faint shadow reflected by the candle, and at that time she was terrified, guilty, and did not know what the future would be. Even if I forcibly endured the emotions in my heart, before I knew it, my eyes turned red.

The room was silent for a long time, followed by the steady footsteps of the young man, who was overshadowed by the reflection of the candle on her body, and a glass of wine was handed to her.

She was stunned for a moment, it was a wine. It was already handed to her, and she could only take it. The moment her slender fingers touched the wall of the cup, she heard the young man say lightly: "The etiquette is cumbersome, and I am tired." ”

Then he sat down next to her.

She raised her eyes, and in the bright light of the wedding candle, she looked at Xie Yuwan, who was dressed in a happy dress. His appearance was already cold and handsome, but now he is dressed in red, and he is even more beautiful.

Her hand holding the wine glass tightened for a moment, and met the cold phoenix eyes in both directions. Maybe it's because the candles are red, the window paper is red, and the wedding clothes on the young people are red.

His eyes also revealed a faint gentleness.

He said to her, "Raise your hands, well, ...... with my hands."

She did as he was told to do in a daze, and when she reacted again, the distance between them was already quiet. Two glasses of wine were separated in front of them, and after a long time she remembered the depth in the young man's eyes.

Coming back to her senses, she drank the wine from her glass.

A faint lychee fragrance spread in her lips, and before she finished her salute, a brocade box appeared in front of her. The brocade box is not special, it is the brocade box used for gifts in the prime minister's house on weekdays.

On the brocade box, Xie Yuwan's slender and well-defined fingers glowed white in the candlelight, like a fine warm jade.

It's the brocade box on the table.

Jiang Wu took it with some silence.
