36. Chapter 36

During the holiday, Jiang Huaizhou invited Xiao Yuan to enjoy the lanterns together.

Xiao Yuan agreed happily and led Lu Jun to the back of Shuangfeng Pavilion with the Jiang brothers.

The carriage stopped, and Jiang Huaizhou went to the car door to pick up his cousins.

Two big red lanterns only illuminated a small area. Xiao Yuan was half hidden in the dark, and his phoenix eyes looked at the curtain of the car.

Xie Lanqiao came out first, still wearing men's clothes, wearing a green cloak, and a hood was placed underneath, revealing the little girl's beautiful and heroic eyebrows. My sisters, their appearances were somewhat similar. When they saw Xie Lanqiao clearly, the memory of the late spring March in Xiao Yuan's mind suddenly became clear. She was lying on the horse's back in panic, pouting and blowing her face, sitting in the wilderness, afraid of crying, and her with bright and moist peach blossom eyes on his back, appeared in front of her one after another.

Only her voice, invisible, odorless, he still couldn't remember it.

His eyes became darker, and Xiao Yuan stared at the half-picked car curtain.

Xie Lanyin was afraid of the cold and was not as resistant to the freezing of her sister. Before the car stopped, she covered her hood and bent down to walk out, with her head down, and her snow-white and slender fox fur covered most of her face. Even Jiang Huaizhou, who was standing opposite her, couldn't see it completely. When it fell into Xiao Yuan's eyes, she saw the little girl's handsome nose, which flashed away, and was blocked by Jiang Huaizhou in a blink of an eye.

After getting off the car, Xie Lanyin was like a cub who relied on her relatives. She immediately moved to her sister and took her arm, leaning forward cutely.

It's cold, so it's warm.

Jiang Huaizhou looked funny and signaled his two cousins ​​to turn around and introduce Xiao Yuan to them, "Do you still recognize Brother Yuan?" He looked at his little cousin in particular and said with a smile: "If Brother Yuan hadn't mentioned it, we would have almost gotten lost in Tongshan." In front of the people, he did not mention any life-saving grace.

"It's just a matter of raising your hand, why should you raise your boat every time?" Xiao Yuan walked over slowly and stood on his left hand.

"After half a year of separation, Mr. Yuan has a better style." Xie Lanqiao praised generously.

Xiao Yuan smiled humbly and his eyes fell on the little girl who was already standing right.

The wide hood almost covered her eyes. He was tall and could only see her thick eyelashes hanging down, her red lips pursed, and her chin became thinner. Lenovo had just had an illness at home. Xiao Yuan felt soft and his voice became gentler, "Miss Five, don't be fine."

In the hazy light, Xie Lanyin looked at the mutton fat jade pendant on the man's waist and remembered many things.

He tamed the wild horse, he saved her from danger, he carried her down the mountain, and asked her to sing songs to repay her kindness.

It's impossible not to remember, but it's just me.

He raised his head and met the handsome face of the man who seemed to have no changes. Xie Lanyin smiled naturally, "Don't be fine."

The soft and sweet sound, like the warm spring light, dispels the biting coldness around it.

Xiao Yuan's heart thumped, and his eyes moved from her shimmering eyes to her red lips uncontrollably.

It was this sound that made him dream of it. Perhaps, as she grew up one year old, the sound became more moving.

It seemed that the yellow oriole bird flew away and flew back, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but hold his hands.

His eyes were calm, but there was ambition in his eyes that others could not detect. Jiang Huaizhou and others could not see it. Xie Lanyin, who was staring at him like prey, was noticed. Dissatisfied with his rudeness and was afraid of something strange to her inside. Xie Lanyin frowned and held his sister's hand again, looking at the inner courtyard, "It's cold outside, let's go in quickly."

Xie Lanqiao nodded and went in with his sister first.

Men followed behind.

Xiao Yuan greeted the Jiang brothers with a smile, but his eyes never really left the girl in front of him.

Before meeting her, he had never considered what kind of wife he wanted to marry. After meeting her, he thought about it in his spare time and found that he did not need his wife to come from a famous family, she was as beautiful as a fairy, nor did he need her to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He only needed a wife who made him willing to live in the same room, a girl who made him feel comfortable and wanted to take care of him.

The fifth girl of the Xie family satisfied him just by her good voice. Not only was she beautiful, but her charming temper also attracted people's pain. He tried to grab her into the palm of his hand several times, teasing her like a yellow oriole. As for family background, even Xie Hui would never come back, and he didn't care.

I let her go before because she was young and had to go back to Hangzhou with her mother. He didn't have the energy to coax a girl far away in Hangzhou. Now she came to the door again. If he didn't do whatever he wanted, he would be sorry for the opportunity given to him by God and the voice that made him miss him.

After entering the elegant room, Xie Lanyin raised her hand and put down her hood. When she was tilting her head and was about to the hairpin, she caught a glimpse of the man over there looking at her. Her eyes were facing each other. Instead, the man not only avoided it tactfully, but instead smiled at her meaningfully. Her eyes were bright, as if she had a deep affection. With her handsome appearance, her heart beat faster.

But she felt it was inexplicable.

He was not like this in his memory.

He was like a gentleman in his cousin. He was always polite to her, except for the time she asked her to sing the song. Even when he helped her choose a sword, he was more like taking care of his friend's sister, without any affection in his eyes, but just now, his eyes...

Because of her beautiful appearance, Xie Lanyin met some young men who claimed to be romantic when she went out. Those people looked at her frivolously and irregularly. The man's eyes just now gave her that feeling, but his demeanor was there, which did not make people feel disgusted. But Xie Lanyin couldn't figure it out. He was unintentional to her when he parted. It was impossible for him to suddenly find out her good things when he met again, right?

Confused in his heart, Xie Lanyinru turned around as if she didn't see him and asked her sister in a low voice, "My hair is messy?"

Maybe she was wrong again, but in fact he just took a random look?

"It's pretty good." Xie Lanqiao looked at the little sister who had always paid attention to makeup and said with a smile.

Xie Lanyin was even more puzzled. She was about to observe the other party secretly, but suddenly burst into laughter.

So what do he cares about? Even if he really likes her, she won’t care. She has to wait for her father’s elder sister to come back. When her father goes to the capital to become an official, she will naturally follow her and choose a good man to marry in the capital. It is best to be a child of an official with some status, so that Chen and others will continue to be jealous.

And the one in front of him has a good appearance and demeanor, but he is just a...

Thinking that her mother and cousins ​​were all doing business, Xie Lanyin did not look down on the other party anymore. When she got along with others, she would not despise and look down on her just because she was a businessman. She just would not marry such a person, and would not give Chen and others the chance to mock her.

After thinking it through, Xie Lanyin walked to the window and looked at the people who came to guess the riddles below. He directly talked to his cousin, "Third Cousin, when will it start? Are there any new tricks for our lantern riddles?"

Jiang Huaizhou smiled and called the shopkeeper to start immediately. The little cousin was curious, how could he let her wait?

The shopkeeper smiled and went to the private room on the second floor, opened the window, and loudly introduced the way to play the riddles tonight.

However, Jiang Huaizhou prepared nine riddles, and the answers were all jewelry. Anyone who guessed it could win the same jewelry made of the jewelry.

The people below immediately cheered!

Even if the jewelry made of Shuangfeng Pavilion is made of copper, it is worth a few taels of silver. It is much better than the lottery of the restaurant's signature dishes. If you are lucky enough to win gold, silver and jade jewelry, you will have no worries about food and clothing in your life!

Seeing the nine guys walking out with nine trays covered with red silk cloth, the people shouted more lively.

Xie Lanyin looked at the excited faces below, couldn't help but be happy, and turned her head and praised: "My third cousin is really a big deal. These nine lottery tickets add up to a few hundred taels of silver, right?"

Jiang Huaizhou smiled, glanced at the jewelry on her head, and said, "The best one is a bracelet."

Seeing him looking at his emerald earrings, Xie Lanyin took a breath in shock, "You actually used the emerald bracelet as a lottery!"

Jiang Huaizhou didn't say anything, showing an arrogant look that he was rich and willing.

Xie Lanyin knew that her cousin was rich, but she didn't feel distressed. After being surprised, she looked at the people below and couldn't help but sigh: "No one has to work hard in the future. Every year on the Lantern Festival, I rushed to my third cousin to guess riddles. After winning the lottery, I could enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind."

Jiang Huaizhou sneered, "I prepared this to please you. It will be gone next year. How can there be so many good things?"

Xie Lanyin was happy and complained deliberately, "You give them the lottery ticket, what's the pleasure of me? It's almost the same for me to give it to you."

Just as Jiang Huaizhou was about to continue talking back, someone next to him suddenly chuckled and interrupted, "If I had known that there was emerald as a lottery, I wouldn't have come."

Seeing the man approaching his face, Xie Lanyin pursed her lips and pretended to be curious and walked around her sister to stay away from him.

His eyes moved with her, and Xiao Yuan frowned secretly. He liked to listen to her speech at close range before leaning over. Why did she leave?

It was difficult to catch up with him at this time, and he chatted with Jiang Huaizhou absent-mindedly.

The shopkeeper there asked someone to hang out the first riddle, "Yu Po steals someone, Yu Gong wants to expel his wife."

The answer is Xiuyu. Someone soon guessed that it was a middle-aged man dressed in an outsider who won a Xiuyu ring.

Shuangfeng Pavilion is really so big, and more and more people are guessing riddles. However, with more people, there are many people who shout out the answers to the riddles at the same time. They have red eyes to prove that they are the number one. The shopkeeper is prepared for a long time. No matter whether they guess, they will write poems at the same time. Even if it is a limerick, whoever gets the most applause will give to whom he reads.

The ordinary people would not recite poems and make people laugh. What they racked their brains to think of was a big tooth. Xie Lanyin saw this kind of excitement for the first time, and her stomach hurts. She leaned on her sister's shoulder to rest. Her face was red. The more beautiful it was under the light, she looked as beautiful as it was. Unfortunately, she wanted to hide from Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan could only see the back of her head, letting the soft laughter scratch his heart and his lungs, and she wanted to push Xie Lanqiao away and he replaced it.

After the emerald bracelet was sent out, the crowd dispersed and the Shuangfeng Pavilion gradually became quiet.

Jiang Xingzhou kept his aunt's advice in mind, and was worried that his aunt would be worried about returning late, so he winked at his third brother.

Jiang Huaizhou nodded and asked Xiao Yuan with a smile where he would go next.

Xiao Yuan stood up and left his seat. He was about to speak when something fell down and made a crisp sound.

Everyone couldn't help but bow their heads, and saw that there were red agate earrings under Xiao Yuan's feet, which were as red as fire, and the light was filled with color.

Xie Lanyin was stunned. Why did the earrings seem to be hers?

Xie Lanqiao bought it with his sister, and of course he recognized it. He was afraid that his sister would show flaws in her expression, so he kept her behind her calmly.

Jiang Xingzhou didn't know the inside story, but Jiang Huaizhou knew it. When he saw the actions of his two cousins, he realized it and asked jokingly: "I didn't see that Brother Yuan actually brought this kind of thing with him. Could it be that he had an appointment with the beauty tonight?"

Xie Lanyin blushed and glared at her cousin in anger. She knew that the earrings were hers, but she still said such words.

In front of everyone, Xiao Yuan calmly picked up the earrings and pinned them in his hand to play with them. His eyes were a little nostalgic, "Huaizhou thought so much. This was what I picked up next to Yuquan when I visited Huashan last year. The ancients had a handkerchief. I felt that I had a fate with the owner of this earrings, so I put it away. I would be lucky enough to meet them in the future. Maybe I can achieve a good story. If you have a fantasy place, please don't laugh."

As he said that, he took out the veil, wiped the red agate earrings with great care, and then put them on his chest and put them in.

Jiang Huaizhou was stunned and couldn't help looking at his little cousin.

Xie Lanyin bit her red lips lightly, stared at the man's chest for a while, and turned around and left.

He picked it up and picked it up, but she would never let him know that it was her earrings in his life!
