Xiao Lu hurriedly ran into the bedroom. Xiao Wei, who ran in first, immediately turned back and put a finger to her lips, signaling her to be quiet. Xiao Lu immediately lightened his footsteps and quietly walked in. When he looked carefully, he saw Xia Yingying sitting on the edge of the bed, looking forward with sparkling eyes, but her eyes were drifting, as if she did not see anything.
She stretched out a slender finger and rubbed her slightly red and swollen lips in a daze. She did not even notice Xiao Lu and Xiao Wei running in. Xiao Lu threw an inquiring look at Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei pouted her lips to the outside, and the two of them tiptoed out, one in front and one behind.
As soon as they reached the courtyard, Xiao Lu could not wait to ask, "What happened to Yingying? Did she get kissed silly?"
Xiao Wei sighed and said, "I think he's just been kissed silly."
Xiao Lu was surprised, "Ah?"
Xiao Wei rolled her eyes and said, "When I say silly, of course, I don't mean that kind of silly. I mean, Yingying might have really fallen in love."
Xiao Lu was stunned and said, "It can't be, just because she was kissed?"
Xiao Wei said, "That kid is quite handsome."
Xiao Lu tilted his head and thought about it. He had to admit what Xiao Wei said, "Yes! It's really not disgusting. But … there are so many young talents like him. She wouldn't fall in love just because she was kissed, right? "
Xiao Wei sighed softly and said, "This is her first kiss. Think about it, she is already so big, but she has not even let a man touch her little hand. A woman's first time is always unforgettable. Sometimes, it is just a matter of a moment, or because of a sentence, or because of a telepathic look, or … because of a kiss … "
As Xiao Wei said this, her tone was dreamy, as if she was drunk. Xiao Lu could not help but snicker, "Look at what you are saying, it seems like you are very experienced. Tell me, have you been kissed by someone? "
"I haven't!" Xiao Wei was eager to clarify, "We have been with Yingying since we were six years old and have never been separated. When have you seen me with a man?"
Xiao Wei glanced at Xiao Lu and said, "I remember that you have been back to the village more than once in the past two years. Don't tell me … you already have someone in your heart?"
Xiao Lu was also anxious, "I don't! It was because my mother was sick, so I rushed back to visit and take care of the medicine. How could I be in the mood to find a lover? "
Xiaowei immediately caught on to her faulty wording. "Ha! Not in the mood? In other words, you actually wanted to find it, but you didn't have the chance? "
That means, you actually wanted to find someone, but didn't? " Xiao Wei 'and Xiao Lu'
Xiao Wei thought about it, and her pretty face also quietly blushed. Lu, Lu, Wei thought. How could they not have dreamed of having a lover who they could spend the rest of their lives with?
The two were silent for a while. Xiao Lu said, "You mean, just because he kissed Yingying so rudely and overbearingly, Yingying fell in love with him?"
Xiao Wei said, "Do you remember the fourth young master of the Tian family. Because he liked our Yingying, he deliberately pretended to be drunk and wanted to get close to her. He bumped into her shoulder and stepped on her foot. In the end, he was surrounded and beaten up by dozens of Yingying's cousins?"
Xiao Lu said, "Of course I remember. The fourth young master of the Tian family complained to Yingying's father with dark circles in his eyes. In the end, he was slapped in the face by her father."
Both of them looked embarrassed. After a moment of silence, Xiao Wei said, "Then do you remember that the eldest young master of the An family teased our Yingying? In fact, he only took advantage of her verbally. In the end, he was chased to the door and scolded by our old man. As a result, the old man of the An family used the family law to severely beat his grandson. Only after that did he stop scolding him?"
Xiao Lu said, "Why are you bringing this up?"
Xiao Wei sighed, "Everyone in the Xia family has spoiled Yingying to the point of lawlessness and unreasonableness. But in the end? In the end, everyone kept a respectful distance from her. They refused to even talk to our Yingying. Everyone feared her like a tiger … "
Xiao Lu said disapprovingly, "That's not necessarily true. Isn't Gorky Gron someone who is not afraid of death? He chased after our Yingying very closely. "
Xiao Wei said with a wry smile, "But look at his naive look. He only knows how to talk with his fists. Our Yingying has been surrounded by dozens of cousins since she was a child. All of them talk with their fists. She is already tired of looking at them. How could she like such a man?"
Xiao Lu said in surprise, "You mean …"
Xiao Wei said leisurely, "In my opinion, Yingying is being molested. I'm afraid that with so many people watching, she is a little shy. As for being annoyed, it may not be …"
Xiao Lu made an "ah" sound and stammered, "What if Yingying … Yingying really likes him?"
Xiao Wei said, "Let the old man worry about it. If it doesn't work, there is still the old ancestor to make the decision. What are you worrying about?"
Xiao Lu stuttered even more, "No … no, I mean … we … we …"
From the moment the two of them were sent to the Xia family, they planned to marry each other. This was a marriage system from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. When a noble married a daughter, the sisters of the girl who was the wife would be married together. The identity of these sisters was Teng. There was also such a situation in the Han and Three Kingdoms period. The marriage system of the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties was still preserved in the western part of the river.
Xiao Wei suddenly understood. "That guy, huh …"
Thinking carefully about Ye Xiaotian's appearance, she actually couldn't feel the slightest bit of disgust. Thinking about the scene of Ye Xiaotian kissing Yingying in such a domineering manner, her lips suddenly felt a little numb …
…
After being called out by Tian Miaowen, Shuiwu did not dare to hide anymore. She braced herself and walked over. She responded in a low voice and stood to the side. The Tian mansion was so big that the servants were as numerous as clouds. How could Tian Miaowen recognize all of them? She didn't care and only said goodbye to Zhan Ning'er, then let Shuiwu send her away.
Since Shuiwu played the role of a maid to send the guests off, it was not good for her to walk behind others. However, she didn't know the way to the front, so she had to slow down her pace. She looked at Zhan Ning'er who was behind her. It seemed that she was very familiar with the owner of this place. It should not be the first time she came here. She hoped that this guest could recognize the way.
Zhan Ning'er was sure that she knew the way. Every time there was a fork in the road, Shuiwu would secretly observe her movements and eyes. She was always one step ahead. In this way, she managed to fool her way into two courtyards. However, it was impossible for her to judge correctly every time, so she also made two mistakes.
At first, Zhan Ning'er did not pay attention to it. Later, she finally noticed that Shuiwu was acting strangely. When they came to a crossroad, Zhan Ning'er's heart moved and she turned to a side road. Shuiwu quietly observed her movements. Zhan Ning'er's eyes moved. Just when she moved her feet, Shuiwu had already turned to that side road. Zhan Ning'er smiled slightly. Her right hand gently held the dagger at her waist.
After walking for a long time, there was no fork in the road. Shuiwu let out a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to constantly pay attention to other people's movements. She used to be a maid in a rich family. Her steps were calm and steady. She led Zhan Ning'er forward through a bamboo forest. After crossing a moon shaped door, Shuiwu finally realized that something was wrong.
In front of them, there were towering old trees and beautiful flower beds. It was clearly the owner's garden. This kind of place would not be placed on the path that guests would enter and exit. Shuiwu hurriedly stopped. She wanted to find an excuse to hide. But when she saw Zhan Ning'er's expression, her heart sank.
Zhan Ning'er looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. Her hand was already holding the hilt of her dagger. "You have guts. You dare to sneak into the Tian family to steal things. If the Tian family found out, they would use private punishment to execute you. Even the government would not care! "
Shuiwu hurriedly explained, "Miss, don't misunderstand. I'm not a thief."
Speaking of which, the two of them had met once. But at that time, Shuiwu was standing in the crowd. Zhan Ning'er casually glanced at her. She didn't remember her appearance at all. At that time, Zhan Ning'er was wearing silver clothes. Shuiwu's attention was attracted by her sparkling clothes. At this moment, Zhan Ning'er was wearing hunting clothes. Shuiwu didn't associate her with the girl from the Miao family that she met at the foot of Sanli Village.
"I don't care whether you are a thief or not. In short, you are definitely not a maid of the Tian family." Zhan Ning'er said with a smile. She pretended to turn around and said, "I'm just a guest. It's not good for me to deal with the Tian family's matters. I think it's better to call the Tian family's people."
"Miss, please have mercy!" Shuiwu's knees softened. She knelt down and begged, "This kind miss, please don't call the Tian family's people. I'm not a thief. I'm just … just … "
Zhan Ning'er turned her body sideways. She looked like she was going to call for help at any time, "You're just what?"
Shuiwu said, "Miss, I'm actually the fiancée of the Tian family's third steward, Xie Chuanfeng."
Zhan Ning'er frowned and said, "Then why are you sneaking around and pretending to be a maid?"
Shuiwu cried, "To tell you the truth, Xie Chuanfeng colluded with others to harm my benefactor. I wanted … to leave the Tian family's residence to report to him. But the Tian family's residence is too big. I got lost …"
Zhan Ning'er was slightly moved. It sounded like the story was a bit complicated. She looked around and said to Shuiwu, "Get up. Let's go to the side and talk."
Zhan Ning'er called Shuiwu. The two of them hid in the woods at the side. Shuiwu had no choice but to tell Zhan Ning'er the whole story in detail. Zhan Ning'er was stunned halfway through. She never thought that she would hear news about Ye Xiaotian here.
"That bastard!"
Zhan Ning'er secretly gritted her teeth. "He really came to Guiyang. But since he's here, why didn't he come to find me? My Zhan family doesn't have a residence in Shui Xi, but the An family does. Is it that difficult to find out where the An family's residence is? Hmm … maybe he wants to pass the imperial examination and come to see me in glory? "
Zhan Ning'er was happy again. Her eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons. But when she saw Shuiwu, she suddenly became nervous again. "Little Tian has always liked her. If she sees Little Tian … what should I do?"
Zhan Ning'er hesitated, "Do you know where Ye Xiaotian lives?"
Shuiwu shook her head, "I only heard that they couldn't find him. They planned to make a move when he went to the government office to register."
Zhan Ning'er smiled and said, "If that's the case, how can you find him in such a big city like Guiyang? Besides, you're a weak girl. It's not convenient for you to go out alone. I pity your effort. How about this, you come with me. When the examination day comes, you can wait in front of the government office. What do you think? "
Shuiwu was overjoyed. She quickly bowed and thanked her, "Thank you, Miss."
Zhan Ning'er reached out and helped her up. She smiled and said, "No need to stand on ceremony."
Zhan Ning'er asked again, "Do you know the date of the imperial examination?"
Shuiwu shook her head. Zhan Ning'er saw this and smiled even more adorably, "Don't worry. I'll help you find out."
Zhan Ning'er thought, "I'll go to the government office to stop him. As for this Miss Shuiwu, I'll push the date back two days … Aiya! I'm so sorry. I remembered wrongly. You won't blame me, right? "
