Chapter 045 Sweetheart
There are crowds of people in Leizhou City.
Xie Xuan stood there, looked up at the sky. The golden sunlight fell on his shoulders, emitting a scent of looseness. He heard someone talking about the Tang family.
A massacre, a fire.
The huge Tang family was unable to leave a living place.
It's so pitiful.
Sighs kept coming from the crowd.
Xie Xuan remembered the siblings in Dulingsi, and for some reason, he just wanted to sigh.
The ruins of the Tang family in front of me are charred.
A person who looks like morning dew cannot withstand a trace of fire.
He withdrew his gaze and turned to the south.
Along the way, there were always people who couldn't help but look at him secretly. Even if they were just walking on the road, they were as dazzling as stars and shining brightly.
But once the person who looked at him took his eyes back, he could never remember his face again.
They only remembered that he seemed to be a very handsome young man, and as for what he looked handsome, he could not recall it at all.
How tall is his body, his face is wide and narrow, his sword eyebrows, starry eyes or his handsome and gentleness are all vague and have no clue.
If you think about it desperately and think too much, even your handsome feeling will become trance.
On the long street, people stopped from time to time and turned around and looked back.
But what exactly should I look at?
Youth? What kind of youth...
Soon, they forgot about Xie Xuan.
There are no gods in the world.
Those walking on the long street would never have thought that the gods had passed by them.
The noon sun shines on the glazed tiles.
Xie Xuan walked across the long street and arrived in front of a three-entry house.
The appearance of the house looks almost exactly the same as Du Lingsi. The door with dusk was closed tightly, like a clam shell that could not be pried open.
He did not go up and knock on the door, nor did he try to open it, but just stood quietly at the door, staring at the stone lion in front of the door.
It's ridiculous to cure houses and ward off evil spirits.
Suddenly, the door opened and two sad little maids walked out of it.
When one of them saw him, he immediately shouted: "Thank you, thank you young master!"
Another frowned when he heard this, grabbed her sleeve, lowered his voice and asked, "Who is this?"
The little maid who spoke first ignored her and quickly made a way out and asked Xie Xuan to go inside: "The lady went to the back garden early in the morning and said she wanted to catch two fish and cook. She didn't expect the fish to refuse to take the bait. She is still in the garden and it is useless to eat."
The little maid said in a stack of words, and the sadness on her face faded a little.
Xie Xuan nodded and raised his foot and stepped over the threshold and went inside.
The door is closed again.
The tall little maid breathed a sigh of relief.
A shorter person with a melon-shaped face, frowned at this moment: "What Mr. Xie? Who is he? Why did you let a man in casually? Could he be the young master in the mansion? But isn't our lady surnamed Zhong?"
The little maid with a melon-faced face was confused and retreated to the steps and looked up at the door plaque.
The two words "Zhongfu" are big and conspicuous.
She asked a series of questions.
The tall little maid didn't say much, but said, "You are new here and don't know. That Mr. Xie is our lady's sweetheart."
"Ah?" Guaziface was surprised, "Lovely? I thought Miss, she doesn't like men!"
"What are you saying? Miss doesn't like men. Do you like you?" As she said that, the two of them walked hand in hand and walked into the distance.
Guaziface whispered: "Miss is not going out of the door, but she actually has a lover..." She still disbelief, "Speaking of it, Miss is eighteen years old, right?"
The tall maid nodded: "When I entered the mansion last year, I heard from my sister in front of me that the lady's seventeenth birthday has just passed, and now a year has passed, so shouldn't she be eighteen?"
Guazi showed a look of confusion on her face: "You said, since the lady is eighteen years old and has a ready-made sweetheart, why not get married?"
"If you change your family, it may be said that it is because your parents don't agree, but aren't there no master and wife in our mansion? The lady is alone and lonely, and her parents are gone. It's obviously a good thing to get married earlier."
She stared at the tall maid next to her: "Is it...that Young Master Xie doesn't like our lady?"
"I don't like it. Why did he come to the door to find the lady?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was incomprehensible.
The tall maid hesitated and whispered: "In my opinion, it seems that the lady has not expressed her feelings to him."
Although their ladies were born with apricot-faced and peach-browed cheeks and looked delicate, they were calm and did not look like someone who could easily reveal their thoughts.
The two maids looked at each other and sighed.
In the mansion, Xie Xuan was already familiar with the journey to the back garden.
Sitting by the pool and holding the fishing rod, the young girl heard the footsteps and turned to look over: "Hey, why did you come so early today?"
Xie Xuan stood under the tree, leaned his back against the trunk, and said lazily: "I'm just having nothing to do."
Leizhou, which does not rain, has dazzling sunshine.
He raised his hand to block the light, turned his face to the side and asked, "Where are the fish? Have you caught it?"
Zhong Miao shook the fishing rod in his hand and sighed: "I have fed too much on weekdays. After eating and drinking, there are no fish that are willing to take the bait."
Xie Xuan walked out of the shade of the tree and sat on the stone beside the pond.
The fat fish in the water swim slowly and it really doesn't mean to bite the bait at all.
He glanced at it and took his eyes back: "It's not too delicious to be so fat. Since he doesn't want to take the bait, why don't you take the net bag to catch it?"
I swim so slowly, as if I was born to want someone to catch it with a net.
But when Zhong Miao heard this, he just lifted the fishing rod up, threw it back, shook his head and said, "I'm not really trying to eat it."
"Just pass the time."
The girl's crisp and sweet voice went lighter little by little.
Xie Xuan sat by the pond, feeling uncomfortable all over by the sun.
The water surface is sparkling.
Finally, a big fish with red spots on its head bit the bait with force.
Zhong Miao stood up suddenly and pulled the fishing line up, but it was only halfway through, and the fish ran away with a lighter in his hand.
She looked at the water surface regularly, but there was no disappointment on her face.
After sitting back, she looked at Xie Xuan sideways and suddenly asked: "Xie Xuan, how many years have it been since you and I first met?"
Xie Xuan closed his eyes.
“Forty-seven years.”
