The courtyard was deep and serene, the branches of the jacaranda trees blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Clusters of blossoms, looking prosperous and lively, like a beautiful painting personally painted by the country's teacher.
A girl dressed in a white dress sat under a blue flowering tree, with a pot of tea and an ancient scroll in her hand. She spent this leisurely and wonderful holiday time.
'Tiandu Biography' was a series of events that happened in the capital of the West Wind Kingdom, Tiandu, written by the great historian Mr Sima Qian. Including political changes, economic development, anecdotes and even some ancient inheritances — — such as Wang Ermazi's scissors, Li Xiaodong's blacksmith shop, three bowls of strong liquor and Tasting Fragrance Building's braised pork.
Because of the wide variety, the content was quite diverse. So it was widely spread. Some people see it as new, some people see it as strange. Some people see it as a gourmet map, some people study the hidden meaning of success and failure.
Cui Xiaoxin did not care about this, she just read, simply read. For a reader, there is no need to investigate the past, no need to think about the future, just simply enjoy the meaning expressed between the lines or the story, that is the most relaxing thing.
"Xiaoxin, eat some fruit." Dressed in a white cheongsam, her aunt Cui Xinci came over carrying a plate of fruit.
She was originally a northern woman, but fell in love with Su Nan's style of dress. She especially liked cheongsam, wearing it gave her a different kind of charm and beauty.
"Thank you aunt." Cui Xiaoxin got up to greet her.
"Sit down. Sit down. "Cui Xinci said in a sweet voice. "Xiaoxin, it's not that I want to scold you, but there's only us two in the backyard, no outsiders can see us. Besides, even if they see, so what? Taking a step further, we're both women of the Cui family, the same blood flows through our veins, we're a real family — — why are you always so polite to aunt? This makes us seem distant, I don't like it. "
Cui Xiaoxin chuckled aloud. "Well then, if aunt brings me food and drinks in the future, I won't ask nor stand up to greet you. I'll pick it up and eat it, I'll drink it. I'll order you around like an old servant. "
"I'd be glad if you did. Is this how Yan Xiangma treats me, and I don't treat him as my godson? " Cui Xinci gracefully sat opposite Cui Xiaoxin and said, "Xiaoxin, are you reading again?"
"Legend of Tiandu." Cui Xiaoxin put the book on the table and said, "Understand the customs of Tiandu. After leaving for so many years, he felt a little unfamiliar with the city. But thinking about it carefully, even when he was in Tiandu, what did he know about that city? They always thought that they were living in this city and that they could travel around at any time. However, the more they could touch it, the less they wanted to get familiar with it and feel it. Come to think of it, I know nothing about it. "
Cui Xinci said with a sad expression, "Xiaoxin, in a few days, you will return to Tiandu. She really couldn't bear to part with him. If possible, I really want you to stay in Jiangnan, stay with aunt. Although Tiandu is big and there are many people in the Cui family, but it is not as relaxing as here. It's like a huge whirlpool, every day too many people will be sucked in, aunt is afraid you'll also be sucked in — — "
"Auntie — –" Cui Xiaoxin tightly grasped Cui Xinci's jade-like little hand and said: "I also want to stay in Jiangnan, I also want to stay with auntie. Living in Jiangnan for a few years is the happiest and most relaxing days of my life. However, you know Tiandu better than me, you also know the Cui family better than me — — Can I stay? "
"Sigh, being born in a rich family, there are always various responsibilities to bear. This time aunt can't come with you to the capital, you must take good care of yourself. Yesterday your uncle said he wanted Xiangma to come with you to the capital and asked big brother to arrange a job for him. He said it's not the right way for him to idle around in Jiangnan city — — Your temperament is good, quiet and calm, and you don't stir up trouble. But Xiangma gives people a headache, if he goes to Tiandu, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause? "
Cui Xiaoxin patted the back of her aunt's hand and said: "Aunt, a man should be determined, uncle is doing this because he hopes his son will become a great success. If he doesn't go out to polish himself and stay by your side to be cared for, how can he take on big responsibilities? Wasn't uncle also a general who killed his way through the battlefield? In the end, he received the heavy responsibility of the kingdom and became the lord of Jiangnan city? "
"Besides, cousin is not a stupid person. I also greatly admire his intelligence and courage. Tiandu has the care of the Cui family and the Yan family, Jiangnan city is a rich land, it's the treasury of the kingdom, the son of the lord of Jiangnan city has a strong background, no one can bully him? Think about it, only cousin bullies others, when did he ever get bullied? "
"A mother worries about her son when he travels a thousand miles. She can't stop worrying. "
"If you really can't stop worrying, then wait until the Spring Festival to go back and see. You haven't been back to Tiandu for a few years, right? "
"Yes. Then it's settled, this Spring Festival I will go back to Tiandu to celebrate the festival, no matter if Yan Bolai agrees or not, I will go back — — "Cui Xinci said with a firm face.
"That's good. I'll wait for aunt in Tiandu. "Cui Xiaoxin said with a smile.
"Right, where did Xiangma go? Why didn't I see him at home today? "
"I didn't see him either. He went out early in the morning, saying he was going to visit a friend. "
"Don't tell me he went to look for that Li Muyang again? I find it strange, what's so good about that Li Muyang? A few days ago you were infatuated with him and went to report to him every day. Now, you're normal, but your cousin is not normal — — what does that guy look like? Didn't they say he's extremely ugly? "
The corners of Cui Xiaoxin's mouth curved up slightly, revealing a charming curve.
"Extremely ugly is too exaggerated, but because he had a serious illness when he was a child, his skin is a little dark. He still looks — — very normal. "
"Is that so? That's not good enough for our family's Xiaoxin. " Cui Xinci said with a faint smile: "I think Song Family's jade tree is better, when he was a child I heard people talk about his good name. Later when I followed your uncle to Jiangnan, I often heard news about him, he's becoming more and more outstanding."
The smile on Cui Xiaoxin's face gradually disappeared as she said: "Aunt, this kind of thing — — I'm afraid no one cares about my wishes, right?"
"You don't want to?"
"I'd rather someone ask me questions like 'Do you want to'."
"Xiaoxin — — -" Cui Xinci firmly grasped Cui Xiaoxin's hand and said: "Our family, you know it well. However, if you really don't want to, then you must say it out loud. No matter what, aunt will support you. "
"My persistence, aunt's support — — will it change my fate?"
“----”
Perhaps the topic was too heavy, Cui Xinci said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this, it's still early anyway. And you still have to go to university, it will take a few more years. Our Xiaoxin is so outstanding, she will always be able to find a good match. "
Cui Xiaoxin chuckled without saying a word. In fact, even her aunt would feel guilty if she said this, right? Wasn't she outstanding back then? Didn't the silver spear youngster she liked trust her with his heart? However, in the end, didn't she still marry the current lord of Jiangnan City, Yan Bolai?
The best result would be to accept her fate. Just like her aunt right now, isn't she still living a happy and peaceful life?
Seeing Cui Xiaoxin's smile, Cui Xinci knew that she had already seen through her thoughts. In front of this girl, Cui Xinci suddenly felt a little flustered.
"You read first, aunt won't disturb you." Cui Xinci said, got up and walked towards the front yard.
Cui Xiaoxin looked up at the blue sea of flowers above her head and said regretfully: "There are no jacaranda trees in Tiandu, unfortunately I can't take you there."
"If Miss likes it, I'll ask someone to dig a few and bring them back." Ning Xinhai came over from the corner of the wall. As if he had been waiting there all along.
"I heard that the oranges in the south are not sweet in the north, if these jacaranda trees are transplanted to the north, they most likely won't grow as beautiful as they are now, right? Since you're a flower lover, why bother making things difficult for them? "
The wind blew, the petals fell in profusion.
Cui Xiaoxin stretched out her palm, and a tiny petal fell right into her palm.
There were a lot of these blue fairies on her hair and clothes, and the faint fragrance seemed to be telling of her reluctance to part with this pure girl.
"For Uncle Ning to come at this time, did something happen outside?"
"Miss has not gone out these days, but asked me to secretly protect student Li. He was fine for the past few days, but ever since the crow attack, Li Muyang has been studying in seclusion, and it's rare to see him come out. "
Cui Xiaoxin had gone to Jiangnan to study, and only had Ning Xinhai as her bodyguard. He was also the only person she could completely trust.
She did not leave the residence these days, in order to send Ning Xinhai to secretly protect Li Muyang. After all, the crow incident was just a prelude. No one knew what would happen next.
If there was another crow attack, or if there was a more powerful killer than the crows, would Li Muyang still be safe? Would Li Muyang's family be safe?
Cui Xiaoxin had no choice but to consider these questions.
"I didn't expect an accident to happen today, a group of hooligans broke into Li Muyang's mother Luo Chi's bakery, saying they want to collect this month's management fee. This kind of thing happens often, so I didn't pay too much attention. "
"Later, Li Muyang rushed over, went berserk in the bakery and started a massacre. It wasn't until then that I realised something was wrong — – I'm afraid someone deliberately set a trap for Li Muyang, right? "
Cui Xiaoxin's face was gloomy, after a slight hesitation, she understood the truth of the matter and said with a sneer: "My uncle is really stingy."
