There is a kitchen in the backyard of the small building. Today's lunch was eaten in the building. Three of the four people were worried, and only Dan Tai Furong was joking.

After lunch, the elephant team had already returned to the palace in a mighty manner. The crowd outside the archway gradually faded away, and Dan Tai Furong arranged to go to the street to play.

"What else is there to do in Wanhui Festival? Apart from watching elephants?" Xiaoxiao was a little absent-minded. Yu Guang looked at Xizi, and the other party seemed to be distracted.

Furong smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look. The streets are full of elephants!"

"Selling elephant?" Xiaoxiao was successful and curious.

Wen Xixiu also smiled: "Yes, today people will buy elephants for good luck."

Xizi then came to his senses: "Yes, we should go to buy a baby elephant on Wanhui Festival."

Xiaoxiao followed everyone out and turned into the bustling streets. He realized that many stalls were selling various elephant ornaments: ceramics, jades, and stone carvings...

Several people were attracted by an old craftsman who was making clay sculptures on the street at the entrance of the street. Their pinch naturally had a look of different shapes. In just a few strokes, they were very unique.

The old craftsman looked at everyone: "If you don't like this stall, you can order whatever you want. Just tell the elephant's appearance."

Furong was the first to express her interest: "Then I want a dance elephant! It's like a dragon and lion dance!"

The old man didn't raise his head. He grabbed a piece of white mud from the cloth bag beside him, and in a few seconds he pinched out a piece of four legs and ran up. The elephant was so energetic that he took a colored pen to decorate the elephant's body.

Furong took it carefully and liked it very much.

The old man looked at the other three and Xizi said, "I want a sleeping elephant, not white, but a faint pink color."

The old man quickly adjusted the color of the mud. When he saw Xizi nodding, he started to pinch it. Soon a pink elephant curled up and walked out of his hand, looking cute.

Furong smiled and said, "Like a little pig!"

Xizi held it in his hand, and he was very precious.

It was Xiaoxiao's turn, Xiaoxiao rubbed his hands and said, "I just want natural gray, but my elephant's ear must be big, very big, even bigger than my body."

The old man who was pinching mud had just been working silently. At this moment, he finally looked up and looked at the buyer: "I have been pinching an elephant for decades. Some asked me to add wings, some asked me to add Buddhas on the elephant's back, and some insisted on putting the elephant in the boat, saying that he wanted to make a Cao Chong elephant... He wanted to pinch the elephant with big ears, but it was the first time he heard it."

He smiled and said, "I just thought that if the elephant's ears were infinitely large, they could fly like wings! I'd better give it a name called Dumbo!"

What appeared in Xiaoxiao's mind was a classic cartoon image from the previous life.

The old craftsman pinched out the gray Dumbo, and it was a bit agile and cute.

Wen Xixiu said slowly: "Click me a little flying elephant."

...

A few people went to the market until a while before they were about to go to their own houses.

After Dan Tai Furong left in her carriage, Xiaoxiao said to Wen Xixiu: "I haven't seen Xizi for many days. If I feel relieved, I want to have a walk with her more."

Wen Xixiu didn't say anything, and looked at his sister for a moment: "Come back early."

Xizi nodded lightly and was pulled away by Xiaoxiao. Occasionally, he could still see the shadow of the fourth brother in the crowd.

He still didn't feel at ease with himself.

Xizi laughed at himself, not knowing whether it was a bitter smile or something, but it seemed like he had knocked over the five flavor bottle, and all the tastes passed in his heart.

Xiaoxiao looked around, although she couldn't bear it, but when she thought about it, she abandoned all her distractions and used all the acting skills she had learned in the training class in her previous life at this moment.

Xiaoxiao pulled Xizi and walked all the way. After turning two turns, you couldn't see Wen Xixiu's shadow. There was a hurried concern in your mouth: "I always feel that something is wrong with you today, and even Brother Wen's fourth brother is wrong. Could it be that your brother and sister are having a quarrel?"

Xizi smiled slightly: "Where can I make a fuss with them? They know everything I do and what I think."

Xiaoxiao frowned and looked up at a teahouse in front of him: "You said that I had no intention of shopping, so let's find a quiet place to wait."

Xizi couldn't stand the noise around him, so he nodded and entered the teahouse with Xiaoxiao. The two girls around him were waiting on the first floor, and they went to a quiet and elegant room upstairs. They only had a pot of Qihong, so they closed the door and did not let the waiter bother again.

Xiaoxiao poured tea for Xizi: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you, but I am afraid that you will feel uncomfortable. After all, there is only ten days left before the deadline... That person is still in Lushan Mountain. If he doesn't come back, what are you going to do?"

Xiaoxiao had no choice but to pretend that he didn't know anything, then slowly observe Xizi, and then slowly make plans.

Xizi's hand was still holding the hand stove, looking at the misty tea smoke, and realized that his connection with Shi Zuimo was extremely secret in the past few days, and there was no clue on the fourth brother. I believe that the matter has not been discovered by anyone.

However, Xizi was not sure.

Is this going to travel to that person regardless of everything?

Xizi also needs to find a reliable person to give advice to him. Although he knows that the person in front of him will completely defeat his absurd decision, he still can't help but want to tell it out, which is better than just taking it silently.

Xiaoxiao's eyes were still anxious, but this gaze was not pretending, and she was really anxious for her friends.

"He is back." Xizi ignored the hot tea in front of him and raised his neck to drink a cup of tea.

Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Are you back? But... I met Aunt Fourth yesterday, and she also said that those painters would have to wait a few days before they came back."

This tests acting skills very much. Xiaoxiao pretends to be natural and looks confused.

Xizi lowered his head: "It was him... he came back early, he has been back for almost half a month."

"Come back early for this?" Xiaoxiao blinked, "It seems... he still has you in his heart."

When Xizi mentioned this person, there was no trace of redness on his face: "He probably won't express anything to my family."

He smiled and said that he was anxious and didn't even need to pretend: "Why?! He agreed to have a three-month deadline, but he was a little unauthorized to shrink his head like this!"

Xizi sighed long, his eyes were slightly red, and tears were almost rolling down: "How could he know that it was such a coincidence that he met my second brother in the painting."

"Your second brother? At Sicun Painting Club?" Xiaoxiao asked hurriedly, believing that Wen Xixiu didn't know much about this.

"No, he has some paintings sold in another painting club. This time he came back and was afraid that the wind would be revealed, so he did not think back to the painting club."

"Oh..." Xiaoxiao was too lazy to analyze this person's behavior, and just asked: "Brother Tang Er, don't seem to know about this matter, right?"

"Yes, my second brother doesn't know, and I don't know Mr. Shi," Xizi wiped his eyes with a veil. "You know that my second brother is a man. He has always liked to show off his own magnanimity. He will inevitably look down on some people who are not as good as him... Since getting married, these problems have become more serious."

"You mean, Brother Tang looked at Mr. Shi's face?"

"Yes, what's even more terrible is that my second brother criticized his paintings so much that he couldn't help it, so he stepped forward to argue with my second brother. Unexpectedly, my second brother said such... hurtful words!" Xizi's expression was a little gritted, and he twisted a handkerchief hard in his hand.

"Yes, it hurts your self-esteem?" Xiaoxiao asked tentatively.

Xizi took a deep breath: "Mr. Shi talked to my second brother about the value of those paintings. My second brother was very disdainful. The two of them actually started arguing on the spot. Mr. Shi said that even if he paid a hundred gold coins, he would never sell them to my second brother. My brother said: I can buy you and the paintings together!"

“…”

Xiaoxiao was unfair to remember a news story in his previous life. It was probably an inconspicuous wealthy businessman who went to the auto show to see a car. The girl who sold the car directly said that you can't afford it. The wealthy businessman threw out the money and became proud: How much are you worth? I bought it together.

I didn’t expect that Wen Laoer could be so rustic and generous. To put it more seriously, it was just that he did not respect art and human rights. Although human rights were not emphasized in ancient times.

Xizi wiped his tears for a long time: "While saying these words, he kept telling himself: I, Wen Xiyue, are like this... I was afraid that others would not know that he is a member of the Wen family!"

Xiaoxiao pinched his eyebrows helplessly. If Wen Laoer hadn't known the inside story, he would have thought he had gone to sabotage and cause trouble on purpose.

Xiaoxiao took out his handkerchief and handed it over: "The matter has been done, and the water that has been poured out can't be collected. It's all up to see how Mr. Shi wants to deal with it."

It would be fine if he didn't mention Mr. Shi. When he mentioned him, Xizi cried even harder and sobbed: "He swears that he would not want to climb the Wen family's door, saying that he was walking two roads with our business and could never be a one-way person."

"What will he do with you?" Xiaoxiao's voice was a little cold.

"He couldn't bear to leave me, and he couldn't accept my family, and their family was not suitable for me."

"Then they are? Have you been?"

"He probably told me something, in short, it was a small household in the city, with a lot of children crowded in the same yard, cooking, cooking, and he didn't like to go back to that home." Xizi wiped away his tears, his expression seemed a little numb.

"So what?" Xiaoxiao looked into Xizi's eyes.

"He thought, cross the family of two people and take me far away." Xizi said this, feeling the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and finally told the secret without having to carry it alone.

"You mean, elope?" Xiaoxiao lowered his voice and stared at Xizi with an incredible expression.

Xizi didn't look at it and laughed at her. She probably didn't know what expression she should face her best friend. She clearly said something decisive about the March deadline before, but when things came to an end, she retreated again and even withdrew from a woman's bottom line.

"Xizi, you should know what elopement means." Xiaoxiao's voice gradually became colder, and finally he slowly came into contact with the truth from the test, but the result made people chill all over.

"We just remembered Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun..."

"The one who runs is a concubine." Xiaoxiao no longer needs to act, tears are already rolling in his eyes, "Do you really want to be a concubine from a dignified lady? Once you are revealed, you will become a slave."

Xizi shivered and wrapped her cloak tightly.
