"Thrown by someone?" Qiao Yin also thought about it and said in surprise: "Didn't Lu Jinzhi say that he accidentally fell into the river?"
The Lu family is very superstitious, not only because Mrs. Lu's three pregnancies ended in vain, but also because Lu Jinzhi was always unlucky, either falling or falling from a horse, and often suffered injuries all over his body.
Therefore, Lu Jinzhi is particularly sensitive to so-called 'bad luck'.
"It wasn't a fall at all. That day I was helping the young lady deliver anti-cold medicine, and I heard Zhuye giving a lecture, saying that he wanted to find Xiaoxiao who threw the prince into the moat."
Now that Bizhu thought about it, she still remembered to spit: "You deserve it!"
Qiao Yin recalled that time when Lu Jinzhi fell into the water and choked badly, almost killing him. After coming back, Mrs. Lu burned incense for half a month in fear, and even went to the temple to get some kind of amulet to ward off evil spirits.
"Who did it? Could it be my eldest brother?"
Qiao Yin immediately thought of Qiao Mo. Although Qiao Mo supported her pursuit of Lu Jinzhi on the surface, he secretly hated Lu Jinzhi very much and secretly broke up with Lu Jinzhi several times.
Bi Zhu waved her hand: "It's not the eldest young master. The eldest young master went out of town to do business for the past two days and was not in the capital."
ah?
A bold guess popped up in Qiao Yin's mind - it couldn't be Xie Yu'an, right?
She immediately shook her head. Only Xie Ren could do such a thing as provoking a fight. How could Xie Yuan do it?
"Miss, General Xie is here and is in the main courtyard with the eldest young master."
As soon as Qiao Yin thought of Xie Yu'an, a servant's voice came from outside the door.
"Huh? Why did you go to my father's yard?"
Qiao Yin put aside the endless thoughts in his mind, got up and headed to the main courtyard.
While still outside the courtyard gate, I heard Qiao Mo's loud voice.
"Oh, Yu An, you don't know that my sister insisted on digging out my father's wine that day, and I couldn't stop her. You know, my sister is so cute, and I couldn't resist her when she made trouble. "
Qiao Mo looked at Xie Yuan, "Really? Isn't my sister cute?"
Xie Yuan pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes."
Qiao Mo suddenly frowned: "It's a small thing that the wine is gone, but if my father knows that I let my sister drink, he will beat me to death when he comes back!"
"Nothing, I still have a few jars of Huang Feng wine given by the emperor. I'll have someone deliver it later. It's just..."
Xie Yu'an looked at the deep and long hole under the tree, "I'm afraid the yellow seal wine won't be enough to fill it up. Do you like to drink the sixty-year-old daughter's red?"
Ner Hong is his favorite drink.
Xie Yu'an was still on the road as always. Qiao Mo patted Xie Yu'an's shoulder, just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
"I love drinking, I love drinking. If you have something else, you can give me some."
Xie Yu'an looked at him and said tacitly: "I don't know what else the old Marquis likes. When will I have time to go to my wine cellar and help Yu An choose one?"
"Haha, thank you, brother, you are so polite."
Qiao Mo patted Xie Yuan's shoulder again and smiled heartily.
As soon as Qiao Yin entered the door, she saw the huge pit like a sinkhole. Although she was drunk, she remembered that there was a jar of wine buried under the tree. When did it become such a big pit?
"Don't listen to his nonsense. My father often says that drinking can ruin things. He only drinks when he's happy and he's never an alcoholic." Qiao Yin said without mercy.
When Xie Yu'an and Qiao Mo heard the sound, they all turned their heads and looked over.
The wine he got was watered down, and Qiao Mo shouted in pain: "Hey! Sister, you can't turn your elbows out like this!"
Xie Yu'an looked at Qiao Yin with a smile. Qiao Yin caught his gaze and turned away embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter. Brother, you can come to me anytime if you want to drink."
Qiao Mo was so happy that he grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears after hearing this. He glanced at the two people who were looking at each other, and looked at Xie Yu'an: "Then I'll go take a look now?"
Xie Yu'an understood and arranged: "Brother, take my carriage. The driver knows the way."
"Okay, okay, then I'll go now."
Qiao Mo left, not forgetting to ask Qiao Yin to entertain Xie Yu'an well before leaving.
Qiao Yin was speechless. It had only been a few days, but Qiao Mo had already been completely conquered by Xie Yuan.
Qiao Yin glanced at Xie Yuan and noticed that his nose was still a little red from the severe bump yesterday.
"Is your nose okay?" Qiao Yin said guiltily.
Xie Yuan shook his head: "It's okay. Did I come too early?"
Xie Yuan pointed to her left ear, and Qiao Yin touched it, only to realize that she had just gone out in a hurry and had lost half of her earrings.
Qiao Yin was slightly embarrassed. He took off the other side and glanced sideways: "Don't you have to sleep every day?"
Obviously we talked so late last night, it was already early in the morning for him to return from Jing'an Marquis' Mansion to the General's Mansion, and he came back so early today.
Qiao Yin glanced at him again and saw no signs of fatigue on his face, but instead he was full of energy.
Xie Yu'an said: "I'm going to the paddock tomorrow. I thought you might not be ready for the bow and arrow, so I found a lightweight one and sent it to you."
As he spoke, Wangshan brought up a small curved bow. The bow was engraved with complicated patterns. I don’t know what kind of craftsmanship was used on the bow body, but it was filled with tiny blue sequins. When the sun shined, the bow came with its own The halo is very dazzling.
Whether it is useful or not is another matter, but it must be beautiful when used, which is in line with Qiao Yin's criteria for selecting items.
"it's beautiful!"
Qiao Yin couldn't put it down, but she pursed her lips and looked at Xie Yu'an: "But I don't know how to shoot."
"It doesn't matter, I'll teach you."
Xie Yu'an preached and started teaching immediately.
He pulled out an arrow and handed it to Qiao Yin, then stood behind her and taught her how to string the bow and string.
The faint fragrance of pine and cypress lingered on the tip of her nose. Qiao Yin turned his head slightly, seeing Xie Yuan's profile very close at hand. Uncontrollably, Qiao Yin's eyes fell on his thin lips, and she remembered for no reason that day on the boat, when he grabbed her chin and crushed and kneaded her like a predator.
It is irritating for a person who is usually gentle and considerate to suddenly become cruel.
Qiao Yin's mind was filled with random thoughts, when suddenly a big hand fell on her head, twisting her head back to its normal position like turning a screw, and her eyes fell back on the bow and arrow.
"Ayin, be serious."
There was a slight dissatisfaction in Xie Yuan's voice. He stood behind her, as if hugging her, holding her hand, pulling the string to full length, and talked about the essentials of archery in detail.
Xie Yu'an really wanted to teach her, but Qiao Yin couldn't listen to a word he said. All his attention was on his loose breathing and the warm embrace behind him.
It's terrible, that feeling of being provoked to the point where my heart beats in a disorderly manner and I can't think independently.
"put!"
Qiao Yin was thinking wildly when Xie Yuan's order came to his ears.
She didn't have time to think, she subconsciously obeyed his order and loosened her fingers.
With a hiss, the arrow flew out and struck a tree trunk not far away.
Xie Yuan let go of her hand and asked her sideways, "Have you learned it?"
Qiao Yin shook his head, then put his hand into his palm, "No, teach me again."
Xie Yuan looked at the hand she offered to him, and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
"Okay, let's teach it again."
Xie Yuan held her hand again and patiently explained the essentials from beginning to end.
Qiao Yinlai lay in his arms and asked nonchalantly: "What kind of prey are there in the paddock? Are there any tigers?"
"There are no tigers, but there are deer and martens."
"Okay, mink. I want a mink scarf. You can get one for me when the time comes, okay?"
"good."
"Are you going to live in a tent in the paddock? I haven't lived in a tent yet. Is there a bonfire at night? Will there be people dancing around the bonfire?"
Qiao Yin's tone was full of expectation, and Xie Yu'an also answered all questions.
"The tents will be allocated one by one according to rank, and bonfires will be burned all night long. A bonfire banquet will be held every year to let the young gentlemen and ladies get to know each other. It can also be regarded as a blind date banquet."
"Then when did you know me?"
"I……"
