Chapter 38 Bluestone steps, sweet-scented osmanthus head oil

"No way!" Xie Shuang smiled, "I'm afraid that if I bully Brother Xu, my sister will feel sorry for me again."

Anyway, let her talk all the good things, and Yunxi didn't bother to be as knowledgeable as a drunkard, so she called her maid to help her down to rest.

Xie Shuang refused, leaned on her shoulder and refused to leave, even tugged at her sleeve and said, "My sister smells really good, what kind of fragrance is it? Let me smoke it tomorrow."

It was the scent of Du Ruo and Su He mixed together, she felt familiar, and frowned again, "Why do you feel as if you smelled it somewhere?"

"Have you ever smelled it before? I'm afraid it's the smell of crab roe paste that makes you, a greedy cat, smell it."

Yunxi pretended to be annoyed, pulled the sleeves out of her hand, and ordered the maid beside her, "Why don't you help your master down to rest? If you drink it again, she might not even recognize people."

So all the people below came up and helped them down in a hurry.

Now the banquet is half over, Mrs. Xie is getting old, she feels tired after sitting for a while, so she wants to go back to her room to rest.

Before leaving, I told Xie Heng and the others, "Although crabs are delicious, they are not very good. You guys should not eat too much, and watch out for a stomachache."

After the old lady had spoken, the banquet ended when she left.

Xie Jue sent Xie Shuang back to his room, and Yunxi and Xie Heng walked leisurely and leisurely, taking advantage of the cool breeze under the moon.

The girl had just eaten crabs and drank a lot of warm wine, her face was hot from the smoke, and when she was holding a handkerchief to caress her face, her sleeve slipped down inadvertently, revealing the red gold and silk-wrapped emerald jade bracelet.

It set off that frosty and jade-like wrist, crystal clear and beautiful.

Xie Heng asked her, "My sister's bracelet is really pretty, why didn't I see my sister wearing it just now?"

"Is this?" Yun Xi seemed to have just realized it, hurriedly covered her sleeves, pursed her lips and continued: "It was sent by the Xu family. My grandmother said I looked good in it, so she didn't allow me to take it off."

She carefully hid her hands behind her back, and her expression was extremely cautious, "If brother doesn't like it, I'll take it off when I go back."

"Why take it off?" He smiled warmly and cleanly, and his voice was very soft, "My sister looks good in it, so let's wear it like this."

Sometimes he was fussy, and sometimes he was extraordinarily open-minded, Yunxi couldn't tell what was on his mind, so he responded resentfully.

Further on is the shore of the lake where Xie Jue fell into the water.

Yun Xi always avoids her when passing by.

The girl fell into the water when she was young, and she has been afraid of water since then. This was written in the letter from Qingzhou before, and she always remembered it.

Only that day.

She avoided the crowd and went to the lake alone, and poured some sweet-scented osmanthus oil on the bluestone steps.

The stone steps are close to the shore of the lake, already covered with moss, and added with greasy hair oil, it will slide into the water when you step on it lightly.

Yun Xi saw Xie Juan fall into the water with her own eyes. She hid in the dark and watched him struggle, then lifted her skirt and left as if nothing had happened.

But he ignored that there was another pair of eyes among the flowers and leaves, silently watching her all the time.

But now, the owner of those eyes was looking at Yunxi quietly, leading her to go to the lake.

Lu Qi watched, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "My lord, the girl is afraid of water, so she can't go there."

"I forgot." Xie Heng smiled and stroked his forehead, and then apologized to Yun Xi, "Sister, don't blame me, I drank too much wine just now, and now my mind is in a daze, I even forgot that my sister is afraid of water. "

He clearly smiled, but his eyes were cold and there was no smile at all.

Yun Xi gently lowered her eyes, "Brother is serious."
