42. Chapter 42

On the Shangsi Festival in Xi'an, there is a custom of going to the water to pick orchids and expel evil spirits.

The wind was sunny, and when the carriage arrived near the Bing River, Xie Lanyin picked up the curtain and saw girls in colorful skirts standing in groups by the river from afar. There were girls with seven or eight years old in pairs of wool buns, and there were also beautiful women with graceful figures in fourteen or five figures, like flowers scattered on the green grass, pleasing to the eye.

"Brother Jiang San, let's go there." Yao Qingqing and Xie Lanyin lay in front of the car window, skillfully pointing to Jiang Huaizhou. "There are few people there, quiet and crowded places, and the orchids are all drawn."

In Jiang Huaizhou's eyes, the girl next door was similar to her sister, and she smiled and asked the coachman to turn the corner.

When the carriage stopped, Jiang Huaizhou also came down. He sat cross-legged under a weeping willow on the shore like a mountain king, and ordered the three girls: "Go and look for orchids quickly. I found each person and handed me one, otherwise she would not be allowed to ride in the carriage later."

Yao Qingqing burst out laughing and pointed to the place where the young men gathered in the distance to chase him, "Brother Jiang San, go there and recite poems and talk to people. If you want orchids, you can go to the side to ask for it. What should you ask for from us?"

Today's orchids have a unique meaning. The girls pick them. Giving them to elder brothers is to exorcise evil spirits. Given to young men is to make love a token of love.

Jiang Huaizhou smiled and looked at his two cousins, shook his head and said, "If someone else doesn't choose well, I want you three, each one gives me one. I'll find someone to show off."

Last time I took my little cousin out, I almost lost my little cousin. This time, he said he would not be too far away from his cousins.

Yao Qingqing didn't know the reason, so Xie Lanyin understood that the third cousin was worried about them, so she took Yao Qingqing's arm and walked towards the river, "Let him dream there daydream. Let's go find orchids first, and throw them to him with the rotten leaves."

Yao Qingqing smiled crisply, took two steps to separate from Xie Lanyin, and everyone looked for it separately.

Xie Lanyin turned around and saw that her sister was standing beside her cousin and didn't come. She ran back immediately and pulled down Xie Lan Bridge. Spring is so good, it's good to not look for orchids, so she can walk by the river.

There was no place, and the three girls were hiking and hiking, searching for a while before going to the river to see the fish.

Jiang Huaizhou looked at his three sisters, and when he was far away, he patted his butt and stood up and followed, fulfilling his duties and responsibilities, like a follower.

Someone recognized him from the young master, and two of them rode their horses and ran over.

"Why didn't Huaizhou go to find us?" The person who spoke was a rich young man in a white shirt, surnamed Li. After greeting Jiang Huaizhou, he immediately glanced at the three girls by the river, his eyes shining.

When two horses came, Xie Lanyin squatted to the river with Yao Qingqing. They washed the orchid roots together and refused to show them.

Xie Lanqiao even stood behind her sister, and her back was not shown, but she didn't know that she was wearing a long, rich-colored dress, and her back was also graceful.

Mr. Li and his companions acted as if to dismount. Jiang Huaizhou knocked on a folding fan and scolded with contempt: "Get out of nowhere from me! I've been begging for my sisters, and they don't look in the mirror one by one. Let's wait until you look like me when you look so handsome as me!"

The third cousin spoke funny, and Xie Lanyin smiled secretly. The water surface reflected her beautiful face. Yao Qingqing next to her was stunned. She couldn't see clearly on the water. She turned her head to look at the real person. Seeing Xie Lanyin laughing brightly, she couldn't help but praise her softly: "Lanyin is so beautiful."

Xie Lanyin misunderstood and gave her a gentle look, "Maybe they are here for you?"

With such a distance, these people can see clearly who is who?

Yao Qingqing didn't explain and looked back quietly.

The two young men had a good relationship with Jiang Huaizhou. Knowing that Jiang Huaizhou didn't want them to disturb the three girls, they left with a smile.

Jiang Huaizhou continued to guard the tree-lined path.

Xie Lanyin was about to send her relatives a tree of orchid, even her cousin who was just over a month old and her father and elder sister far away in the sky, so she put the washed orchid back on the carriage. She continued to search, and then complained about her sister as she was lazy and lazy. Xie Lanqiao was afraid of her sister's coquettishness and scolding, so she didn't dare to be lazy anymore, so she started looking for it seriously.

Jiang Huaizhou was funny when he saw it. The breeze blew on the water, which was really comfortable, so he leaned against the tree trunk to rest.

After a while, when the three girls spoke far away, Jiang Huaizhou got up and prepared to move another place.

When he got together, he saw a black-sailed boat floating over the river. There were two men in gray clothes standing on the bow of the boat, and they couldn't see clearly. Jiang Huaizhou hummed, and he pretended to take a boat to take a cruise and then take the opportunity to peek at the girls on the shore when he was eight years old. He didn't expect that there were still people so smart.

Disdainful in his heart, Jiang Huaizhou quickly rushed to the side of the three girls. He was about to ask them to go to the roadside to avoid him first, but suddenly he heard someone on the boat calling him, and the sound sounded very familiar.

Jiang Huaizhou looked closely and recognized that it was Ge Jin and Lu Jun.

The people in the boat...

As soon as the thought fell, Xiao Yuan walked out of the boat tent, wearing a moon-white round neck robe, standing in the wind, elegant and elegant, like a god in the sky flowing down the river of heaven and came to the mortal world. Even though he was both a man, Jiang Huaizhou had lost his mind. After returning to his senses, he glanced at the three sisters who were a little stunned beside him, and Jiang Huaizhou felt a little awkward again.

Is he worse than the other party? Why do my sisters only use him when they see him in the morning, and there is no surprise in their eyes?

But Jiang Huaizhou doesn't blame his sisters, he just blames the men on the boat for being sexy.

He coughed on purpose.

Xie Lanyin was the first to come back to her senses. She looked at the orchid that had just been pulled out. She didn't want to wash it anymore. She immediately turned around and walked towards the carriage. Before leaving, she tried to explain naturally: "The sun is a little sunny, so I'll go to the carriage to get the hat."

"I'll go with you." Yao Qingqing followed with a blushing face and stayed here. Wouldn't she meant to meet the strange man more? Although she really wanted to stay and see the god-like figure more, the girl's reserved family could not tolerate her as she pleased, especially the good sisters left.

Xie Lanqiao did not move for the time being. When Xiao Yuan and his servant came ashore, she said hello before going to the carriage.

"Brother Yuan is elegant and comes here to ask for orchid?" As he became familiar, Jiang Huaizhou no longer spoke politely and asked meaningfully.

Xiao Yuan looked at him blankly, "What does Huaizhou mean?"

"You really don't know?" Jiang Huaizhou didn't believe it, and pointed at the girls who were picking Lan from far and near, saying, "The girls all came to the river to pick Lan on the river. I thought Brother Yuan specially took a boat to choose girls who suit his wishes. This is clearer than riding a horse."

Xiao Yuan laughed and then realized it, "No wonder there are so many girls on the shore. I thought there would be fewer people going away, so I went into the boat tent first. Since that's the case, I'd better go ashore to avoid disturbing the gracefulness of these girls."

After saying that, he winked at Lu Jun.

Lu Jun parked the boat here.

Xiao Yuan looked into the distance and then said to Jiang Huaizhou: "There are all girls here. I will go there for a walk and enjoy the spring first. Can Huaizhou be willing to go with you?"

He was open and honest. Jiang Huaizhou believed that he did not meet a beauty by chance, but shook his head and refused, "So another day, I was bitten by a snake and I have been afraid of the ropes for ten years. I am not at ease to leave them alone here, I will let Brother Yuan down."

Xiao Yuan smiled and praised: "Huaizhou is thinking about cousins ​​everywhere, and his brother is just like this, then..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. Xiao Yuan looked at the girl with a pink skirt standing in front of the carriage with his back facing him in the distance, and thoughts appeared on his face. He hesitated for a moment, signaling Jiang Huaizhou to walk a few steps away and then said: "I want to ask the fifth girl alone. I wonder if Huaizhou can do it convenient?"

Jiang Huaizhou was alert and guessed: "Could it be that Brother Yuan still suspected the earrings..."

"No." Xiao Yuan immediately denied, his expression was also somewhat unpredictable. "I just suddenly remembered that since I came back from Tongshan last year, the fifth girl had been hiding from me. She turned around and left when she saw me several times. I thought hard, but I couldn't remember when I offended her. I wanted to ask clearly. If there was any intention to offend me, I would like to apologize in time. With my understanding of the fifth girl, Huaizhou asked for me, and she might not be able to tell the truth, so I beg Huaizhou to give me a chance to untie my knot with the fifth girl alone."

After he said this, Jiang Huaizhou thought about it carefully and the little cousin seemed to be hiding from Xiao Yuan.

Not to mention that my aunt gave Xiao Yuan a thankful love for saving her life last year, my little cousin didn’t travel with me, just said that just now, my little cousin was not a rigid person who kept her politeness, and even my second cousin stayed to say hello to her benefactor. Why did my little cousin leave?

But if my little cousin doesn't want to see him, would he be willing to talk to him?

Seeing his dilemma, Xiao Yuan begged again: "Yuan will not delay the fifth girl for too long, please help me with the help of the boat."

He spoke sincerely and saved his little cousin again. Jiang Huaizhou hesitated for a while and nodded, "You follow me."

Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the man was not leaving for a long time, Xie Lanyin put on the hat and squatted to the river to wash the orchids. As she washed her, she caught a glimpse of the two of them coming over. She pursed her lips, pretended not to know, and continued to squat on the shore.

"Lanqiao, we are going to discuss business with our little cousin. You can go find Lancao first." Jiang Huaizhou smiled and said to Xie Lanqiao.

Xie Lanqiao stared at him for a while, guessing that his cousin had something to say that Yao Qingqing didn't want Yao Qingqing to know, so he cooperated to lead Yao Qingqing away.

When they walked away, Jiang Huaizhou was not confident enough to stop the little cousin who wanted to follow him, and said in a plea through the veil: "Lanyin, Brother Yuan has something to tell you, I'll go there and wait, I'll wash this for me." After saying that, he snatched the orchid that had been washed halfway from his cousin and quickly slipped away.

He believed in Xiao Yuan's character and would never bully his little cousin. Besides, he was just far away from him and couldn't hear him, so his eyes were staring at this side.

My cousin turned his elbow outward, and Xie Lanyin was furious and wanted to leave, but the man in front of him moved a step.

Xie Lanyin bit her lip, took a step back, turned her head and asked, "What business is Mr. Yuan going to discuss with me?"

"It is inconvenient to speak here. I will go to Yaoyue Pavilion to find you tonight." Xiao Yuan stared at her faint eyes after the veil, and her voice was low. "Last year I saved your life. Now I have a request to you. Only you can help me in Jiangxi and Xie families. The fifth girl can trust me. Please leave the house when the second update tonight. I will wait for you outside your door. If the fifth girl doesn't believe it..."

Xie Lanyin sneered and looked up, wanting to hear how he planned to threaten her to accompany him to do such a ridiculous thing in the middle of the night.

"If the fifth girl doesn't believe it, Yuan will not regret saving you." Xiao Yuan said softly, Feng's eyes warmed the spring light.

Xie Lanyin was stunned, looking at the man's eyes that were implicitly tender, and his mind suddenly disappeared.

The wind seemed to stop, and there was no sound of gurgling water in my ears. Only the man in front of me was left. Time seemed to have returned to that day on the Tongshan Mountain. She was rudely pulled up by the thief. When she was desperate and afraid, he quietly appeared to save her from danger, and walked with her in a regular manner.

"See you next time tonight."

She remained silent for a long time. Xiao Yuan knew that she was in a dilemma, so he looked at her for the last time and turned around and left.

He gave her a day to think about it.

Xie Lanyin looked at him blankly, and after a while, she realized that he had agreed that she had agreed. She couldn't help but chased forward two steps, "You..."

Xiao Yuan paused his foot, and when he turned around, his index finger pressed his lips, his movements were intimate and natural, as if the two had known each other for many years.

Xie Lanyin was surprised to react.
