"Don't you want him to give up?"
Xiao Chongjing's words made Yin Xiaorou startled.
"What?" She raised her eyes and asked innocently, "Chongjing, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing." Xiao Chongjing smiled and shook his head, his tone a little disappointed, "It's just that you really don't want to help me?"
"Of course I do."
Yin Xiaorou answered quickly.
She pursed her lips, looked up at Xiao Chongjing with determination, and said with a smile: "Although I don't understand why you think I can convince the second young master, I am willing to give it a try for you. The worst I can do is get scolded by him. .”
"Don't worry, he won't scold you."
Xiao Chongjing tapped the tip of her nose lovingly. He was obviously very happy with her decision.
But Xiao Qinyu was not so happy.
When he knew that Yin Xiaorou came to Zhulin Garden for the first time to persuade him to meet another woman, his whole heart felt like it was blocked by cotton soaked in salt water, stuffy, wet, and salty. It made his breathing uncomfortable.
He looked at Yin Xiaorou with a strange, sad look, but with a smile on his lips, "Do you really want me to marry someone else? Do you really want me to meet that girl Qiao?"
"You were always going to get married."
Yin Xiaorou pursed her lips and said.
For some reason, she didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Qinyu at this moment.
"Okay, I'll go." Xiao Qinyu nodded lightly, but he put forward a condition, "But before seeing her, you have to have fun with me."
"How is this possible?" Yin Xiaorou was surprised.
"Why not?" Xiao Qinyu asked.
His tone was even a little aggrieved, "I just want to leave some good memories before we get married, isn't this okay?"
"This..." Yin Xiaorou hesitated.
"Since you don't agree, then let's go." Xiao Qinyu stopped looking at her in disappointment, "And tell him that I am not a beast. As long as you are really together, I will naturally stay away from you. Let him not have to be like this You are eager to plan my marriage."
"not him……"
Seeing that Xiao Qinyu had misunderstood, Yin Xiaorou quickly wanted to explain.
But what does Xiao Qinyu want to hear?
In his eyes, all of Yin Xiaorou's explanations at this moment were just to help Xiao Chongjing get away...
In the end, Yin Xiaorou had no choice. She became anxious and stamped her feet, "Okay, I promise you, but you must treat me with courtesy. And no matter what, you must go see Miss Qiao in three days."
"Okay." Xiao Qinyu nodded, smiling and looking at her sadly. "make a deal."
…
"Where are the others in Qinyu!"
On the day they agreed to meet, Mrs. Xi could not find her son.
She stood in the bamboo garden and looked at Xiao Qinyu's servants anxiously and angrily, "You don't even know where your master is now, what do you do for food?"
"That's right!" Grandma Fan comforted Mrs. Xi in a low voice while scolding the boy kneeling on the ground with a straight face, "If you can't even stand the second young master, what's the use of the General's Mansion raising waste like you?! If we're delayed today, It’s the old lady’s business, be careful I peel off your skin!”
"Mommy, we really don't know..." the boys explained with a grimace, "The second young master leaves early and comes back late these days, and we are not allowed to follow... But before leaving today, the second young master said there is no need to look for him, Shui He will go to Yun Tea House by himself."
"He really said that?" Mrs. Xi asked quickly.
"Absolutely true."
…
"Second Young Master, don't forget our agreement."
Back in Longpo, Yin Xiaorou sat on the grass and patiently watched the sunrise with Xiao Qinyu. She turned around and saw Xiao Qinyu still looking unhurried, holding a blade of grass in his mouth. She couldn't help but remind her, "Second Young Master, it's almost time." , if you don’t come down the mountain quickly..."
"Are you so anxious?"
"It's not that I'm anxious, it's..."
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Qinyu interrupted Yin Xiaorou somewhat upset.
He threw away the blades of grass, got up and mounted his horse, and stretched out his hand to Yin Xiaorou on the horse...
"What to do?" Yin Xiaorou looked confused, "Isn't it all over?"
"I can't leave you here alone, right?" Xiao Qinyu said helplessly, "And before we see her, our agreement is still valid. Isn't it?"
Yin Xiaorou had nothing to say.
She could only accept her fate and get on the horse, and together with Xiao Qinyu, they headed towards Shuiyun Tea House.
Shuiyun Tea House, third floor.
Mrs. Xi did not wait for Xiao Qinyu to show up. Instead, she waited for Mrs. Huiguo first.
Looking at the calm-looking Mrs. Huiguo and Mrs. Yuan beside her, who was obviously watching the excitement, Mrs. Xi secretly complained in her heart.
This Mrs. Huiguo, why did she bring Mrs. Yuan here too!
"Please take a seat."
Ruan Yunluo ignored his mother-in-law's distress. She greeted Mrs. Huiguo and her group with a smile, and then led them to sit down in the box.
After deliberately arranging Mrs. Yuan's seat close to the window, she began to watch the show with satisfaction.
"Where's Xiao Er? Isn't he still here?"
Sure enough, Mrs. Yuan was the first to speak.
As soon as she sat down, her turbid eyes swept across the box, and she immediately became dissatisfied with a straight face, "Huh, let us old ladies wait for him. Mr. Xiao is so majestic."
"Of course not." Grandma Fan's scalp went numb, and she quickly explained with a smile, "Our second master has been here long ago, but... our old lady was not feeling well just now, so he went back to the house to get medicine."
"Yeah?"
Mrs. Yuan looked at Mrs. Xi suspiciously.
"Yes." Mrs. Xi nodded with a smile.
She didn't want to have any more entanglements with the unscrupulous queen's wet nurse, nor did she want to offend the flower family behind her. So the topic changed and he looked at Qiao Shiran, "Are you Shi Ran? I heard that you are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are a famous talented woman in the capital. It just so happens that my Qinyu is also quite accomplished in these areas. You can talk more later..."
"What accomplishments can Xiao Er have?" Mrs. Yuan sneered with disdain. "If he had achieved anything, he would have been admitted to the top exam long ago. How could he still be a white man now?"
"Qinyu is only eighteen..."
"Oh? You're already eighteen? I heard that there are talented people who are already the number one scholar at the age of seventeen or eighteen." Mrs. Yuan said, poking into the heart of people's hearts, "It's not like your Xiao Er , only skipping school and fighting..."
"When did Qinyu skip school and get into a fight... It's nothing, it's nothing..."
Mrs. Xi smiled and glanced at Qiao Shiran's reaction. Seeing that her smile did not reach her eyes, she quickly stopped Mrs. Yuan from continuing.
"That's right." Grandma Fan quickly agreed, "Mrs. Yuan, don't listen to outsiders' gossip. It's just nonsense from others and cannot be true."
"These are all said by our young master Hua himself, why can't they be true?" Mrs. Yuan looked at Mrs. Xi dissatisfied, "Mrs. Xi, I know you care about face, but the truth of this kind of thing is true, and the false is false. How can you lie? And Xiao Er is not without his merits. I heard that he is a good fighter. Maybe he can go into battle with his brother to kill enemies in the future, so why not honor our ancestors~"
"this……"
Mrs. Xi was speechless and could only blame Ruan Yunluo, "I am not in good health, and Yunluo has always been worried about family affairs. She comes from a scholarly family, so she naturally hopes that Qinyu will study more..."
