While Cui Xiaoxin was lost in her thoughts and Yan Xiangma was pointing at the flowers in the courtyard like he was an expert in gardening, the sound of her mother talking to someone could be heard from outside.
"Xiaoxin this child likes peace and quiet, there are so many houses in the front yard, but she chose the most remote one. Young girls, which one doesn't like crowded and lively places, I'm afraid that if she lived here for a long time, she would develop an introverted and antisocial personality — — "
"I also like peace and quiet." A younger voice said. Even from a distance, it gave people a cold and arrogant feeling. As if when she said this sentence, there was no emotion at all.
Cui Xiaoxin couldn't help but laugh inwardly. The Lu Family sent their most arrogant and most tactless girl to visit her, what does this mean?
Obviously, her mother was not used to dealing with this kind of girl.
After a moment of silence, she responded with a very exaggerated laugh: "Haha, I didn't expect young children to like peace and quiet, it's really different from when we were young — — Now that Xiaoxin is back, it's good. You two are about the same age and are also going to study at West Wind University, next time you should move around more, so that you don't have a companion."
"I have a lot of friends." Lu Qiji said.
“----”
"But I'm still very happy to be friends with sister Xiaoxin." Lu Qiji said aloud.
Mother Cui really couldn't stand the way she spoke, cold and stiff, every word was like a sword being unsheathed all of a sudden.
As a noble of Tiandu, shouldn't you compliment me, I flatter you, I treat you well, I treat everyone well, and no matter how many knives are stabbed in the back, on the surface she still has to maintain elegance and calmness?
This young lady of the Lu Family does not play cards according to common sense, which made it difficult for her, a standard noble lady, to act normally.
Mother Xiaoxin quickened her pace, bringing Cui Xiaoxin to the entrance of the small courtyard where she shouted: "Xiaoxin, Xiaoxin, Miss Lu Family is here to see you — —"
Cui Xiaoxin had long been waiting in the courtyard, when she heard her mother's words, she immediately came to the courtyard door to greet her. Looking at the 'purple-haired demon girl', one of the three bright moons of the Empire, Lu Qiji, she could not help but feel stunned.
She had seen Lu Qiji before, but at that time they were still young, and their faces and bodies were not fully developed. At that time, he only thought that she was cute and thought that she would grow up to be a beauty.
But now that he saw her in person, he realized that the word 'beauty' couldn't describe her beauty at all. This was a peerless beauty that could cause the downfall of a country.
Cui Xiaoxin had always been very conceited. Although she and Lu Qiji of the Lu Family and Song Chenxi of the Song family were called the three bright moons of the Kingdom by busybodies, but she always laughed at this rumour, because she felt that she was different from other people — — In other words, deep in her heart, she thought that she was better, more beautiful and smarter than others.
Now that she saw a beautiful girl dressed in a white robe, she felt a sense of inferiority.
Such a beauty, not only was she a bright moon, she was clearly a blazing sun.
Lu Qiji waited for a long time, but Cui Xiaoxin did not speak to her. She just stared at her with bright eyes, as if seeing a treasure for the first time.
The feeling of being sized up made her very unhappy. Her brows slightly raised, she broke the silence by saying: "I heard that sister Xiaoxin was attacked in Jiangnan, we were worried about her in Tiandu. I heard that sister came back a few days ago, so I wanted to come and see. I picked out a few small gifts, I hope sister Xiaoxin will like them. "
The servants behind Lu Qiji came out with a box in their hands and presented it to Cui Xiaoxin.
"Thank you sister Qiji for your kindness, I like them very much." Cui Xiaoxin also knew that she was being rude just now, how could she stare at the guest without saying a word? She did not open the gifts on the spot, but waved her hand, instructing the servants to take the gifts back to the room. "Sister Qiji, just come and be a guest, you don't have to be so polite."
"Just a little something, as long as sister likes it." Lu Qiji said indifferently. She was also looking up and down at Cui Xiaoxin. She was a beauty, well, her temperament was also very good, gentle and intelligent, a completely different style from her.
Yan Xiangma wiped the saliva from his mouth, opened his fan with a 'puff' sound and gently waved it in front of his chest, looking like an elegant young master. With a hearty smile, he said aloud: "My sister is right, just come and be a guest, giving gifts would make us seem distant. Sister Xiaoxin, am I right? "
"This is?" Lu Qiji stared at Yan Xiangma with an unfriendly look in her eyes, asking aloud. This idiot just stared at her with his eyes wide open, face flushed, and saliva flying everywhere, yet he was not aware of it. If it were not for the fact that she was a guest at someone else's house, she would have kicked him out long ago.
Before Cui Xiaoxin had time to speak, Yan Xiangma had already walked over to Cui Xiaoxin and bowed deeply with his hands held in front. "Yan Xiangma, Cui Xiaoxin's cousin. Of course, I treat her as my sister, and she has always treated me as her brother — — Miss, you're Tiandu's fairy Lu Qiji, right? Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation. As they say, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Like the bright moon in the sky, like the blazing sun. Everything in the world, in front of Miss's peerless beauty, pales in comparison. Of course, my eyes lit up because of this. Because the light is too bright, it's hard for me to see — — "
Lu Qiji swept her eyes over him, then looked at Cui Xiaoxin and asked: "Is he sick?"
"He's not sick." Cui Xiaoxin covered her mouth and chuckled. "He's just love-struck."
Cui Xiaoxin made an inviting gesture. "Sister, please come in and talk."
"You young people talk, I won't disturb you." Cui Xiaoxin's mother instructed, and hurriedly ran away with her servant. If she stayed any longer, she would be choked to death by the words of this little girl from the Lu Family.
In the small, simple and elegant living room, the servant brought over tea and pastries.
For two young girls who were strangers to each other, it was not easy for them to warmly exchange pleasantries like adults and have endless topics to talk about.
Lu Qiji held the teacup and sipped her tea, while Cui Xiaoxin did not know what to say.
Fortunately, at this time, Yan Xiangma, who had just suffered a heavy blow, came out, took a sip of the tea handed over by a servant and said: "Miss Qiji also likes to drink tea, right? This is fresh Mount Longhu sparrow tongue, although it's light in the mouth and fragrant like silk. But when the tea enters the lungs, the lingering fragrance is even more profound and moving. "
"Young master Xiangma, this is Mount Junshan's silver needle, not sparrow tongue — —" The little servant next to him corrected.
“----”
Cui Xiaoxin could not bear to let her idiot cousin continue to perform, she hurriedly said: "I usually like to drink Longjing tea. What about sister Qiji? "
"Whatever." Lu Qiji said. Thinking that this answer may be too cold and hard, she added a few words: "As long as it's tea."
"Oh." Cui Xiaoxin also felt it was a bit difficult to cope with this. "Sister is going to enter West Wind, right? We might be schoolmates. "
"It's not confirmed yet." Lu Qiji said with a chuckle. "Speaking of this, I thought of another thing. Sister Xiaoxin just came back from Jiangnan, you should know the 'famous colt of Jiangnan' Li Muyang, right? Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in Tiandu, many people are eager to catch a glimpse of him. What is his appearance and demeanor like? "
"That — —"
"Hahahahaha — —" Yan Xiangma burst into laughter. "What appearance and demeanor does he have? He's clearly a big piece of charcoal. If Miss Qiji wants to get to know him, then leave it to me. When I was in Jiangnan, he and I were good brothers. Although he's ugly, but his character is trustworthy. Otherwise, I wouldn't be friends with a commoner like him. "
"Not ugly at all." Cui Xiaoxin corrected Yan Xiangma's malicious belittlement. "He has pride in his body and pride in his heart. The rumours are true. If he comes to Tiandu, sister Qiji can meet him. "
"I'm really curious." Lu Qiji's eyes flickered with a strange splendor as she said with a smile: "Winning first place in one fell swoop and becoming the first in the kingdom's exam, I'm afraid when he comes to Tiandu, there will be a lot of criticism and challenges, right?"
"I believe in the young man of Tiandu's magnanimity." Cui Xiaoxin replied indifferently.
"It sounds like — sister Xiaoxin is very protective of him?" Lu Qiji's slender eyelashes fluttered, her perfect and bewitching face gave off an oppressive feeling that made it difficult for people to breathe.
Yan Xiangma hurriedly rubbed his nose, worried that the weather is dry and he might get a nosebleed.
"Is that so?" Cui Xiaoxin smiled. "He and I were classmates, it's natural for me to speak up for him. If I saw my classmate being bullied and I didn't do anything, then I would be cold and heartless. "
"Sister Xiaoxin is kind, we should learn from you." Lu Qiji said with a smile. "I won't disturb sister's rest, I'll visit sister next time."
With that, Lu Qiji got up to leave.
Cui Xiaoxin got up to send her off, until the purple-haired domineering girl's figure disappeared into the garden.
"Tiandu's demon girl is really arrogant, as if she's the best in the world — — Hmph, what's so great about her? In terms of appearance, she's not even as good as my sister Xiaoxin — — "Yan Xiangma stared at Lu Qiji's receding back and complained.
Cui Xiaoxin's face was deep in thought as she whispered: "She came for Li Muyang."
"What?" Yan Xiangma turned his head and asked.
"Don't you think it's strange? After entering the room, she said less than ten words to me, but most of it was directed at Li Muyang — — They know each other? "
