Cheng Yong, a white-faced talent, has a really strict mouth, which made me guess in vain for a long time. Yuan Xi muttered angrily in his heart, and even guessed the green pothos sister of Aunt Li's family, who sold vegetables, but he never expected it to be her!

Yuan Xi smiled: "Miss Lan really doesn't remember me, I've been to your house before, speaking of which, I'm still your godsister." ”

As soon as Lan Yu heard the three words of the godsister, she knew that it was the goddaughter recognized by her mother, and she heard her father say that this godsister was very good, and she was the county lord of the emperor's title. Lan Yu hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed: "The courtier Lan Yu knocked to see the lord of Donglin. ”

Yuan Xi hurriedly picked her up: "You and my sister, don't be so polite." ”

Lan Yu felt embarrassed at this time, it didn't hurt if she just met Cheng Yong's sister, but the mediocre girl was actually her mother's goddaughter. She said that she leaked her mouth in front of her mother, shouldn't she be ashamed to death?

Lan Yu lowered her head and handed over the chess game with both hands: "This is ...... Last time I promised him a game. ”

Yuan Xi smiled and pulled Lan Yu into the lobby, and Ling Er's cooking of Qi Hong made Lan Yu full of praise. Yuan Xi was secretly happy in his heart, a girl like Lan Yu was really rare, born in such a prominent official family, but she was not contaminated with the slightest crooked atmosphere, and she was simple. That's just right.

"Sister Xi, I don't know anything about this except you, don't tell anyone else!" Lan Yu lowered her head, her little face flushed.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you. Yuan Xi wrapped Lanyu's chess game in cloth and put it in Ling'er's basket: "It's not going to work out in the past few days, the old man in the family is sick, and I'm afraid that I will give you the sickness." When he is better, shall I invite you to my house?"

Lan Yu pursed her lips, a smile gradually appeared on her face, and nodded: "It's settled, my father and mother are strict with me and won't let me go to other people's houses, but if they know that it was Sister Xi who asked me to play, they would definitely agree." ”

The old man's illness dragged on, and it took more than two months for him to recover, and for two months he had been huddled in his courtyard and closed to guests. Even the old lady's birthday banquet refused to go, and the old lady invited him several times to call him sick, and finally just ate a bowl of shou noodles sent by the maid.

Won-hee also went to see him a few times, and he was still very panicked in the first few days, and Won-hee comforted him, but he couldn't listen to a word. After more than a month, I gradually relaxed. After taking a few doses of decoction from Doctor Zhang, his condition finally improved a little.

The weather is getting warmer, the ice floes in the lotus pond are beginning to melt, and the willows are renovated, and there is a peaceful spring scene. It is true that Xiao Rongzhan has not shown up for a long time, and only half a bottle of ginger powder he sent is left.

Won-hee sat at the counter, lazily holding his head. At the beginning of spring, people's hands began to come alive, and the number of people who went back to redemption gradually increased, but most of them were small objects.

On the counter were the two chess games that Lan Yu gave to Cheng Yong, but Cheng Yong didn't even flip them over, and returned them to Yuan Xi as they were. Yuan Xi knocked on the table, and he didn't know how to return this chess game to Lan Yu.

was distracted, the counter was knocked twice, Yuan Xi looked up, Xiao Rongrun looked at himself a little tired.

Yuan Xi has been wearing plain clothes for the past three months, and the same is true for King Baojun today, there is no jewelry in his hair, but two plain silver hairpins tie his hair in a bun. Xiao Rongrun smiled warmly: "Actually, you don't have to be like this, the Queen Mother is in mourning, only those women who enter the palace to cry and sacrifice must be dressed without makeup, you don't have to lose yourself." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head indifferently: "Father said that now the Wei family is on an errand for the imperial court, and thanks to the emperor's kindness, he should also be filial piety for the queen mother." On my grandmother's birthday, the family just fried a few plates of vegetarian dishes and had a meal together. ”

Everyone in the officialdom knows that the Queen Mother's favorite is King Baojun. He and Xiao Rongzhan were born to the same mother, and they were also sons-in-law, and the Queen Mother had repeatedly persuaded the emperor to make him the crown prince before her death, but now that the Queen Mother has died, he is also a lot haggard.

Rong Run didn't mention King Duanjun in half a sentence, Yuan Xi wanted to ask a few words, but when he thought of the Queen Mother, he couldn't help it. Rong Run and Rong Zhan are the same mother, but the Queen Mother is very different from him, Rong Zhan has a grudge against the Queen Mother, and Rong Run is also clear in his heart, but everyone is maintaining superficial harmony, and they are unwilling to tear off the fig leaf.

Xiao Rongrun was in no mood to laugh, so he sat down and left. While tidying up the tea set, Ling'er muttered, saying that the temperament of these two princes really didn't look like brothers.

Yuan Yue carried a box of dim sum into the store, Yuan Xi saw that she was tired and panting, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Second sister, why did you send dim sum again? Didn't you say that there is a restaurant opposite? You still run so far, are you tired?"

Yuan Yue put the snack on the table: "Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, my grandmother gave me three days off, I don't need to copy the scriptures, I want to come to your store to have a look." Yuan Yue opened the box: "Oh, your favorite begonia crisp." ”

Yuan Xi didn't have much appetite, so he still took a piece: "Second sister, I seem to have done something wrong." ”

Yuan Yue was stunned, she hadn't seen such a look on Yuan Xi's face for a long time: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Xi took the two chess books: "This is sent by Miss Lan." ”

Yuan Yue saw that it was a hardcover Song carving's "Golden Valley Nine Bureaus", and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a rare book among rare books, how could she give this to you?"

Yuan Xi sighed: "It would be nice if it was given to me." ”

"Then ...... she" Yuan Yue gasped: "It won't be, it's for the eldest brother, right?" She sneered: "It turns out that she is the eldest brother's crush?"

Yuan Yue is really ice and snow smart, and it can be seen through at one point. Yuan Xi nodded helplessly: "It's true that the eldest brother is sending it, but the eldest brother just sighed and retreated back as it was, I'm worried, how to tell Lan Yu about this." If I had known that my eldest brother was this reaction, I shouldn't have accepted it on his behalf. ”

"Doesn't the eldest brother like her? Who is the eldest brother rejecting You Wan for?" Yuan Yue flipped through the chess game, feeling a little regretful. This kind of engraved chess book is a collection of chess lovers, and she should like Cheng Yong how much she likes to give such a thing away!

Yuan Xi put down his snack and looked sad: "Lan Yu is still full of joy waiting for me to invite her as a guest, this time it's troublesome." ”

I can't even eat the begonia cake, which shows that this matter is a big deal in Yuan Xi's heart. Yuan Yue also scratched her head, the interest dispute is easy to solve, and you can quickly cut through the mess, but where can the inextricable feelings of this little child be sorted out?

Yuan Yue sighed: "Or...... Why don't you invite her to play for a day, since you have promised others, you should not lose your word. As for the matter between them, you should not ask about it in the future, let them solve it themselves. ”

......

Lan Yu held back at home for a few months, and finally waited for Yuan Xi's invitation.

Lan Yu and Yuan Xi are dating, and Lan Chengjie and his wife are strongly in favor. Although Xiao Rongzhan is unfathomable, Xiao Rongrun's mind is shallow, and his love for Yuan Xi can't be hidden. Lan Chengjie has long had a wishful thinking in his heart, Wei Yuanxi is now the county lord, and he is favored by a county king, even if he can't be a princess in the future, he can be a favorite concubine. And he Lan Chengjie is undoubtedly the godfather of the county king, and this relationship may not be established after ten years of hard work in the court. Therefore, as soon as Yuan Xi invited, they sent Lan Yu into the gate of the Wei Mansion.

Lan Yu tugged on the fishing rod and pulled a koi fish from the water with a smile. Suddenly, the two younger girls jumped up: "Fishing, fishing, catching! Miss is amazing!" Yuan Yue smiled and put some snacks and fruits next to the lotus pond: "Miss Lan, come and eat some snacks." ”

"Who's that?" Yuan Jia leaned forward.

Mother Zhao stretched out her head to take a look, and saw a girl in red jumping around Yuanyue, and she was also a little puzzled, this face was really unfamiliar: "Miss, why don't we go over and have a look?"

Yuan Jia was just about to step forward, but saw Yuan Xi coming out from behind the willow shade, and stopped walking. sneered: "It turned out to be her person." ”

Yuan Jia ignored her and turned around to leave. Mother Zhao beside her suddenly shouted: "Miss, look, the fish in that girl's hand is not the nine-striped dragon koi raised by the master?"

Yuan Jia looked closely, and sure enough, what Lanyu was carrying in his hand was purchased by Ryukyu with heavy gold, and when it was sent, there were only eight of them, and the gold was extremely expensive. Fishing is not good, but this is it, Yuan Jia was angry, and greeted him: "Stop!"

This reprimand, Lan Yu's hands trembled in fright, and the koi was slippery, so he immediately took off his hand and fell heavily to the ground. With a chirp, the fall was firm, and the fish scales rubbed against the gravel road, wiping off a large piece. Before the hook was removed, the fish's lip was broken and it fell directly into a dead fish's eye.

When Yuan Jia saw that the fish was dead, he became more and more dissatisfied, and scolded: "You, do you know what kind of fish this is?"

Lan Yu was young, and was startled by Yuan Jia's words, and subconsciously went to look at the fish. It is indeed an unusual koi, which is black and white, and looks like an ink painting, and it does look like a very expensive species. But Lan Yu is everyone's young lady after all, and she refuses to lose face in front of outsiders, so she said proudly: "Isn't it just a tail fish? What's the big deal, it's worth your annoyance, I'll just pay you for it." ”

Yuan Yue also stepped forward to comfort: "Eldest sister, it's just a fish, and Miss Lan didn't mean it, why are you so careful?"

Yuan Jia saw her indifferent appearance, and became more and more annoyed in her heart, pointing at Lan Yu and saying: "A fish? Tell you, this is the nine-striped dragon koi of the Ryukyu Kingdom, do you know how much this fish is worth?

Lan Yu's face flushed, she was just curious and greedy for a moment, she also prepared a basin of water for the fish, and planned to put it back in the pool when she had seen enough. If it weren't for Yuan Jia's sudden shouting, she would never have let go, and the fish would never have died.

Lan Yu said angrily: "You can tell a price, tell my little servant, I will go back and ask my father to send the silver!"

"Do you think our Wei family cares about your few pieces of silver?" Yuan Jia looked at Lan Yu coldly.

"Yuanjia, stop!" Suddenly hearing someone call her, Cheng Jia trembled in fright. Everyone followed the prestige, and Cheng Yong was already standing behind Yuan Jia, with an angry face: "Listen to what kind of bastard you say!"
