54. Chapter 54
After chatting for a while, Chen Jie wanted to study Xue Jiu's martial arts skills, and Jiang Huaizhou naturally had to go with him.
Chen Jie said to his son, "You go to my study first, bring the Yongchang chess piece for them to play chess."
Xiao Yan said she wanted to play chess with Xie Lanyin.
Chen Yingshi was a little surprised why his father arranged for him to go, but he didn't show it. He said hello to Jiang Huaizhou and Xue Jiu and left first.
Chen Jie smiled and looked at Xiao Yan and left first. There was a maid in the pavilion, so Xiao Yan would not say anything to the two little girls rashly. Moreover, today I saw the Xie sisters for their son's marriage, Chen Jie felt that Xiao Yan was all about this.
The men left, and the sisters Xie Lanyin and his sisters sat opposite Xiao Yan first, chatting about flowers and plants with a smile. Soon Chen Yingshi brought the chess box over, put it on the table and said politely: "Then you play chess first, I'll go find my father."
"Wait." Xiao Yan spoke calmly.
Chen Yingshi's body stiffened and tried hard to restrain himself before he could not look over.
This was the first time she talked to him.
Xiao Yan's eyes quickly turned to Xie Lanqiao and smiled and said, "It's not interesting to just watch us play chess. Lanqiao will follow the prince. They will finish the competition later. You will come back together."
Xie Lanyin looked at her sister in surprise, then turned her head and glanced at Chen Yingshi.
Are Chen Jie and Aunt Yan trying to match up with their sister and Chen Yingshi?
But why was Aunt Yan helping? Or was she just following Chen Jie's arrangements?
What did your sister think?
However, when Aunt Yan spoke, Xie Lanqiao relieved his doubts. He first invited them to the Shen family courtyard. After meeting today, Chen Jie and Aunt Yan were so polite to them, it turned out that they were for Chen Yingshi.
Since the other party is interested, she is willing to explain clearly.
"Okay, Lan Yin is obedient and play chess with her aunt honestly, don't run around." Xie Lanqiao stood up and turned to Chen Yingshi.
Chen Yingshi's palms were sweating, he glanced at his biological mother and reached out to ask Xie Lanqiao to come out of the pavilion.
Xie Lanyin watched the backs of the two, and was extremely curious if Chen Yingshi would say anything to his sister on the way.
Xiao Yan stared at Xie Lanyin on the opposite side and was shocked.
Why did her nephew whom she had never met believe in this girl? However, the little girl was extremely beautiful and clever, and her nephew really believed in the wrong person. She touched the things in her sleeves quietly, and Xiao Yan felt deeply moved. She gave her son a jade pendant with only one ten thousand hope, but unexpectedly, it really worked.
Wait, wait until you go back and see it. I have been waiting for almost twenty years, so there is no hurry.

On the way to the martial arts training ground, Chen Yingshi secretly looked at the girl beside him, and there was a rare confusion on his cold face.
Her parents arranged the arrangements too deliberately, she should have guessed it? He also decided to ask her, but when he saw someone, he didn't know how to speak.
"The prince has something to say?" He looked at her frequently. Xie Lanqiao stopped in the shade of a locust tree and looked up to ask him.
She wore a simple green dress with a beautiful face. She stood with her face so close that Chen Yingshi became more and more amazed her beauty, especially her shimmering peach blossom eyes, which were smart and agile, as if nothing could escape her eyes.
She was so calm that Chen Yingshi wanted to laugh for no reason.
Who has been to the battlefield is actually not as good as a girl?
After calming down, Chen Yingshi smiled, looked around, his eyes returned to her face, and he whispered: "Miss II is smart and cheerful, and he admires him in his heart. If the second girl does not dislike him, she wants to propose marriage with her aunt. At my family, my father has already agreed to this marriage. On my mother's side, please don't worry, I will protect you in time."
The man is like a green cypress, his face is like a jade, and his eyes are filled with depression. Xie Lanqiao could feel his sincerity, but she thought of the emptiness and embarrassment of Meng and Chen Miao. Chen Yingshi is really a gentleman and is indeed a good husband. But Xie Lanqiao remembers the situation when his mother and Chen are together. Even if the water in the well does not interfere with the river, there will always be friction between them.
She knew that she was not a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of her elders, so she didn't want to marry herself early and let herself live in a jail called the back house.
She looked back at Chen Yingshi without evasion and said sincerely: "The prince is honest and honest, and has the spirit of a gentleman. Lan Qiao admires it very much. But I have already thought about it. I will not get married before the age of 18, so I can only let the prince down."
Chen Yingshi stared at the girl in front of him in a daze.
He thought she would refuse, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason.
"Why is Eighteen?" He calmed down his mind and asked calmly.
Xie Lanqiao smiled and signaled him to chat while walking, "My eldest sister is practicing martial arts. She is not married this year. Although my mother is not rushing, I can see that she is always worried. Then I decided to marry myself when I was eighteen. Before I was eighteen, I would travel around with my three cousins and visit famous mountains and rivers everywhere. When I was eighteen, my reputation should have spread. At that time, I would still accept my husband's family and would not randomly control how I act."
She was talking about what she said, and Chen Yingshi's embarrassment of being rejected was much more dissipated, and she smiled and said, "If you didn't meet a man and his family who could accept you when you were eighteen years old, what would you do?"
"Ceep a son-in-law." Xie Lanqiao said casually, and after saying that, he smiled at him, "My mother said that she doesn't care about the identity of the man. As long as she treats us sisters sincerely, I believe that I will not pick the wrong person if I look at people."
Her smile was bright, cheerful and generous, Chen Yingshi was unwilling to miss it, so she stopped impulsively and asked her: "If I don't change my mind in three years, would you like to give me a chance?"
Xie Lanqiao did not expect him to be so persistent. He looked at him suspiciously and shook his head and said, "The prince should look for another marriage. If you really wait for me for three years, I will feel guilty. Besides, you are the prince of the Marquis's family. If you have your responsibility, you may not be able to do whatever you want in the marriage. Maybe you will soon meet a girl who is moved again. Why make an appointment with me and add a burden to you and me?"
She thought carefully, Chen Yingshi sighed at her for a moment, stared at her for a moment, and sighed: "Yes, things in the world are unpredictable, just like I didn't expect to meet you this year, and I couldn't expect anyone to meet next year. Since the second girl has a lofty ambitions, I wish the second girl everything goes well and everything goes with the flow."
"Then can I go back?" He figured it out, Xie Lanqiao smiled and looked at the way he came, "I have no interest in the competition."
Chen Yingshi smiled helplessly and made a gesture of asking for help.
Xie Lanqiao bowed to him and turned around and left.
Chen Yingshi moved, but didn't stretch out to pull her. Seeing her walking further and further without any nostalgia, her heart seemed to be empty.
Half an hour later.
In the carriage, Xie Lanyin felt very regretful after listening to her sister's words, "It's a pity that Prince Shen is such a handsome man, but he is really. Since he likes her sister, why don't he guarantee to wait for her sister for three years? As soon as her sister said that, he was relieved, which shows that she didn't like her sister very much."
Xie Lanqiao patted his sister's hand and smiled and said, "You are still young, you won't understand."
Chen Yingshi did not insist anymore, but instead looked up to him. She really made a three-year agreement, which would make people look down on him. How could someone who had just met a few times have such deep feelings? Her promises were nothing more than sweet words to coax people, and she didn't care about it.
"You are only one year older than me." My sister was so angry that Xie Lanyin couldn't help but retort.
Xie Lanqiao smiled without saying a word, and glanced at the Buddhist bead bracelet on his sister's wrist, and said confusedly: "The string on my mother's hand was obviously asked from Lingyin Temple. Why do you lie? Do you really like the bracelet of an aunt?"
Today is Chen Jie. If someone else asks them to talk to a concubine, she will never agree, although the feeling that Aunt Yan gives her is OK when she gets along.
The secret involved in this matter is too big, so Xie Lanyin insisted that she liked the bracelet too much.
My sister didn't tell the truth, and Xie Lanqiao was so angry that she tickled her. She told her everything, but her sister was strange. She just talked about her and Mr. Yuan, but she still refused to confess honestly.
After a long journey, when he returned to the other yard and finished lunch, Xie Lanyin returned to his yard.
Lying on the bed, tossing and turning excitedly.
Things went so smoothly today, he would definitely praise her, right?
What exactly was placed in the bamboo tube? The guards of the Hou Mansion, Senyan, contacted Aunt Yan. What methods do they have to ensure that they could rescue Aunt Yan by contacting each other?
He said that he would come here tonight, would he take her to enjoy the scenery?
After turning around on his body left and right, Xie Lanyin fell asleep with the quilt in his arms.
When I woke up, I soaked in the hot spring with my sister and swam in the pool for a few laps. Xie Lanyin lay on the shore and looked up at the sky, "I'll leave tomorrow, I really can't bear to leave."
He told her to go down the mountain as soon as possible and could not stay in Mount Li for too long.
"Go back early, don't worry my mother." Xie Lanqiao said with a smile.
Xie Lanyin nodded and dressed with her sister on the shore.
In the afternoon, she strolled around the forest and it became dark again. Xie Lanyin remembered the words of her lover and got into the gauze tent early after dinner, saying that she was going to sleep and she did not allow the parrot to come in to disturb her. As soon as the parrot went out, she quietly got up, changed into a pink beautifier, and sat in front of the mirror to dress up gently.
With a ruby-clad beaded flower on his head, looking at the jewelry box, Xie Lanyin smiled and picked a pair of red agate earrings. When he put them on his ears, he couldn't help laughing. Maybe he really has a fate, otherwise how could he explain that so many people in Huashan, he picked up the earrings?
After dressing up, Xie Lanyin turned her head and looked at the window, looking forward and hesitating.
Where did he take her? It was dark and the scenery was so beautiful that it could not be seen. It was the end of the moon, and there was no moon in the sky.
Seeing that the window became darker and darker, Xie Lanyin suddenly became a little scared.
A lonely man and a widow, let him go outside, will he...
After all, she really doesn't know him very well.
Perhaps because the night was scary, Xie Lanyin gradually retreated and reached out to touch the bead hairpin on his head, trying to take it off.
At this moment, a familiar sound of knocking on the window came from afar.
Xie Lanyin was nervous and couldn't stand it. She continued to sit for a while before slowly moving over.
He opened the window carefully. Outside the window, he was dressed in black, and his handsome face was a little blurred.
"I've done it..."
"Do you want to go to Huaqing Pool?"
Xiao Yuan asked with a smile when he touched the girl's head through the window.
