I was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, I was not prepared to see the female family in this mansion too quickly. No matter what they do, whether they are beautiful or ordinary, but I was surprised by the appearance of a big beauty standing under the eaves, with bright eyes and white teeth.
My steps stopped there, and I didn't think about how to take the next step for a while, and the second brother of the Zhao family also stopped beside me and looked up at the woman.
Time seems to have a moment of stagnation.
The next moment, Zhao Yuncheng had already reacted. He coughed and said to me: "This is Miss Chanjuan."
Girl...that is, a woman who has not yet married.
But when I glanced over, I quickly discovered that although this woman was beautiful, she was actually not young anymore, probably not much younger than me. Perhaps because of this age, her smile and temperament showed an elegant calmness, as if-
It seems, it looks like the sandalwood lingers on the tip of the nose in the temple.
I don’t know why I had such an idea, but when I looked at the woman again, I immediately understood why I felt that she was so quiet.
She was wearing a plain white dress.
Generally, unmarried women cannot wear this way if their parents are alive; if their parents-in-law are alive, they cannot wear this way, and they will be scolded for wearing mourning. But women should be pretty and filial. Her simple white outfit does make her look more handsome than herself.
Chanjuan...is also a good name.
At this time, the girl Chanjuan had already walked down the steps and said with a smile: "It's Miss Yan."
"Yes, Miss Chanjuan."
Her smile was very gentle, but she also had a sense of alienation as she was when she first met, and she said, "I heard from them before that Miss Yan recently returned to Sichuan, but she didn't expect that she would come so soon."
"I'm upset."
"Where? Miss Yan is tired from the journey, please go in and have some rest first."
"Thank you."
She made a gesture of invitation, and I took Susu and the others into it. The lobby inside was not specially arranged, but it was quite clean and bright. Because the sun set, the light quickly dimmed. Immediately, a servant came up to light the lampstand and then sent hot tea.
I sat on the guest's chair on my left, looked up and saw that she sat on the right side of the main seat.
Zhao Yuncheng stood behind me and frowned.
Chanjuan put her hands on the armrest on one side, and her sitting posture was very elegant. She said to me gently: "Miss Yan must have worked very hard all the way."
"It's okay, after entering Sichuan, the road is familiar."
"I heard that the head of the Yan family also sent someone to pick up the eldest lady."
"Yes."
"We all thought that the young lady would go to Chengdu first, so--"
As soon as I came, I knew that they were all surprised that I came so soon, so I was very prepared and hurriedly smiled: "This is what I decided, I hope I didn't disturb your mansion."
"I dare not, I dare not."
The two of them chatted back and forth, and I couldn't feel anything in this woman's words. I didn't feel anything except the alienation and kindness of hospitality.
It's normal, a little abnormal.
Of course, it is indeed a little abnormal.
After Zhao Yuncheng waited for us to talk to a stage, he asked, "Miss Chanjuan, where is the third master?"
I also raised my head.
It's been a while, and I haven't seen Liu Qinghan yet.
What about others?
Chanjuan immediately said, "I didn't expect Miss Yan to come so soon. Third Master was not prepared today, so he went out."
"Go out? Where have you gone?"
"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, he went out to the street to see the lanterns."
“…”
“…”
Zhao Yun and I looked at each other silently.
After a while, he said, "I should have sent someone back sooner to inform me."
Chanjuan said, "I have sent someone to the street to look for him, but - Miss Yan, I'm sorry, you also know that there are many people on the Mid-Autumn Street, and he doesn't allow people to follow him today. I'm afraid it's not easy to find him."
I nodded: "I know, we are in a hurry."
After saying this, I fell silent.
Chanjuan and Zhao Yuncheng were also silent for a moment, but Chanjuan immediately said: "Although this is the case, Miss Yan's room was prepared a few days in advance. Should Miss go over and take a look?"
I thought about it, turned around and said to Susu, "Take Shuyuan with you, take your luggage and organize it."
"Yes," Su Su agreed and asked me again: "Where are you, Miss?"
"I'm here to wait."
"oh."
She agreed, and Chanjuan immediately asked someone to take her and Zhao Shuyuan to the back, and the other people were also taken down by Zhao Yuncheng to settle down and rest.
In the lobby, Chanjuan and me were left.
I turned around, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
The sky outside became darker, and only a little red light came from the sky in the distance. I don’t know if it was the sky light or the light reflected by the lanterns on the street. From afar, people’s laughter and joy came.
I smiled and said, "Why, Miss Chanjuan didn't go to see the lanterns?"
She shook her head.
She didn't say anything, but this bowed her head and saw a trace of loneliness.
I really want to ask questions that should not be asked and places that should not be touched.
For a moment, the two of them became quiet again, until Zhao Yuncheng settled Wenhu and his group and walked over again, and saw that we were still here, he said to me: "Light, the lantern festival will be blooming very late, and it was our mansion that paid for it. He will probably not come back in a short time when he goes out."
"oh."
"You'd better go down and rest first."
I thought about it, stood up, and said, "I'll go out and have a look, too."
"ah?"
At this moment, both of them were stunned for a moment, looked at me, and I smiled and said, "It's really a bit hard to walk along the way. I finally had a beautiful view, so I want to join in the fun."
After hearing what I said, Zhao Yuncheng felt that my mood seemed to be unaffected, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No need to worry."
"It's not a problem. What if you get lost?"
"Oh, that's fine."
We finished speaking in just a few words, and he took me out, but just as he walked to the door, he stopped. Zhao Yuncheng looked back at Chanjuan, and coughed again: "Miss Chanjuan, aren't you going together?"
Chanjuan stood deep in the lobby, and the candlelight flashing beside her was reflected on her face, with a feeling of uncertainty. She smiled and shook her head. The feeling of loneliness once again rose in my heart.
She said, "I won't go."

I didn't expect that when I came to Bishan, the first thing I did was to see the lanterns.
After walking out of the gate and turning the street, I immediately saw the bright lights in front of me, with pedestrians bustling with shops on both sides, with various hawking sounds, greeting sounds, and children playing and playing and playing in front of me like waves.
I couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, it's so lively."
Zhao Yuncheng walked beside me and smiled and said, "It's true, it's done well."
"How much does this cost?"
"I don't know, I'm not in charge of his money."
"Who is in charge?"
"……moon."
The answer was not surprising. I kept walking forward, looking at the various gorgeous lanterns on both sides, and asked, "Who is that Miss Chanjuan?"
"I'm not very clear," Zhao's second brother hesitated for a while before he said, "She was in this villa before we came, and has been in this villa. At first, I thought she was the wife and concubine of the previous gentleman Yan, but--"
"Of course not."
I asked Yan Qinghan, and he also told me that he kept the precepts and was not married.
Zhao Yuncheng glanced at me, as if he felt something, and suddenly said, "He didn't move all the people left by Mr. Yan."
"Um?"
I turned to look at him, and Zhao Yuncheng said, "He said that for at least three years, he will not touch Mr. Yan's people, the system of Mr. Yan's actions."
“…”
"So, all of these people are left behind before."
“…”
"Including, Chanjuan."
After not changing his course for three years - this is like Liu Qinghan is filial to Yan Qinghan. Although the two of them actually have nothing to do with each other, I can understand Liu Qinghan's approach.
I smiled and said, "He has his reason."
Speaking of this, it seemed like there was nothing to say. We walked silently on the street, but this silence did not seem abrupt at all, because the surroundings were too lively, one after another. When we walked to the most lively section, we could only rely on him to clear the way for me in front, so that I could walk forward smoothly.
Turning over a street, you will see the moat.
It is a river that divides into the city. The water flow is not too fast and the river channel is not too wide. However, it is enough to carry a river lantern, swaying and flying towards the distance.
After walking for a while, my ankles became a little sore, so I sat on the stone pier by the river and asked Zhao Yuncheng to go around to see if he could find Liu Qinghan. He agreed and told me not to go far, and then walked to the crowded place on the other side.
I sat on the stone pier, hanging my knees and looking around.
It's really a good scenery.
I saw a child stumble forward with a string of candied haws. The young parents behind him chased him and rushed him. The laughter of the family was very far away. A lover was guessing riddles on the roadside, not knowing what the young man said in the girl's ear, which made the other party laugh and kept slung his chest with fists. Not far away at a small ferry, a middle-aged man with gray hair slowly put a river lantern into the river, not knowing what he was praying. There was also an old man, with silver silk on his head, standing by the roadside with crutches, looking at the colorful lanterns, his turbid eyes were full of flowing light, and his mouth was smiling, not knowing what he remembered.
Everyone has their own joys and sorrows.
Then, where is Liu Qinghan?
