Mrs. Tai is really rich

The gongs and drums in the front yard scatter the red firecracker paper, which is as bright as vermilion, but it is not less flavorful than the bright red peach blossoms in the back yard that still contain the crystal clear dew this morning.

Although the backyard of Lord Shouguang's mansion was also decorated with lights and festoons, but because the front yard was busy, there were no people in the backyard of Lord Shouguang's mansion. It was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of the spring breeze blowing across the water.

Xie Yihua, who ran to the backyard because of following Qi Lan, suddenly appeared in the backyard. She broke the silence, but fortunately, no one cared.

I just watched Xie Yihua holding up her blue skirt, shuttling between the green willows with light spring smoke and Tanabata, looking for the figure of the person I was thinking of.

But she searched and searched, but she couldn't find that person in the yard where the grass was green, the willows were lush and flowers were blooming.

Just when Xie Yihua couldn't find anyone everywhere, and finally had to sigh and lean on a railing, a voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Sister Yihua, what are you looking for?"

When Xie Yihua heard this familiar voice, she immediately turned around happily. Sure enough, the person she was thinking of, today's frustrated man Qi Lan, was standing behind her, her expression was as usual, as if no one could see anything different place.

"I... I... am not looking for anything..." Xie Yihua said embarrassedly.

"Really, aren't you looking for me?" Qi Lan asked with a smile.

"Okay... I... am looking for you..." Xie Yihua finally said embarrassedly.

"What are you looking for me for? I remember that last time I asked someone to give you all the picture scrolls that I promised you."

"I'm here to thank you... and... and..." Xie Yihua suddenly said hesitantly.

"What else, tell me, I'm your uncle, there's nothing you can't say." Qi Lan said with a smile.

"What's more, I want to tell you that you are a very good person. Sometimes, if some things don't work out, maybe it's not time yet."

"Like what?"

"For example...for example...today, your younger brother got married before you..." Xie Yihua bit her lip and finally said this sentence. In the end, maybe she was afraid of seeing Qi Lan sad or With a furious expression, Xie Yihua closed his eyes, waiting for Qi Lan's reaction.

After a while, Xie Yihua felt a big hand touching her head and rubbed it. Immediately, Qi Lan's calm voice came from her bedside and said:

"Are you worried that I will be sad or angry because my fiancée was robbed? Don't worry... I'm... fine now. Maybe my cousin and I are just destined. This kind of thing is not to be forced." Come..."

"After all... come to think of it... compared to an unfavored son of a marquis, anyone would prefer a favored son of a marquis with an unlimited future." Qi Lan said a little lonely.

"No...it's not like that!" Xie Yihua, who has always been gentle, generous, mature and stable, immediately retorted like an immature child.

"Huh?" Qi Lan was obviously also surprised by Xie Yihua's sudden rebuttal, and he asked suspiciously.

"I think that the love of parents, family background, wealth and status are only temporary. If a person does not have real talents, noble morals, these things will disappear...

My grandmother often said that in 30 years in Hedong and in 30 years in Hexi, as long as a person has real talents and practical learning, he will surely rise to the top one day...

You are a very talented person I have seen. My grandparents said... They all said that you are a person with good morals and talents. As long as you give time, you will definitely have a place in the court and serve the motherland. of……

Although I am young, I also understand these principles... Today... Today, I may be a little presumptuous in speaking...

Uncle Qi Er, you seem to be calm...in fact...my grandmother and I can see that, Uncle Qi Er, you are quite self-pitying today, I can't look down on you...I..."

When Xie Yihua finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Qi Lan, who suddenly asked:
"If you were, would you choose me?"

Xie Yihua was obviously overwhelmed by Qi Lan's question, but seeing Qi Lan's eyes gradually dimmed, Xie Yihua immediately said very seriously:

"I... I... naturally chose you!
Regardless of whether you ask me today or not, I selfishly think so...

If I had a choice... I could choose you... I would definitely choose you!You are the most talented and gentle man I have ever seen! "

"Puff...Okay, I see." Qi Lan was stunned for a long time, then suddenly said with a smile.

Xie Yihua blushed, lowered her head, and suddenly said nothing...

And at this time, Qi Lan suddenly said:
"Let me tell you a story, today, the story of my frustrated man."

"My cousin and I have known each other since we were young. At that time, I just lost my nanny, and only myself and my nanny's son lived alone in my yard, although I also had other servants...

But they all prefer to take care of my younger brother, because the treatment is better, so... I want to find them, but I often can't find anyone...

I remember, the first time I saw my cousin, I was punished to kneel in my mother’s yard just because I secretly took my third brother to the pond, where the wind blew and made my brother catch a cold.

At that time, my cousin came to my house with my uncle to visit my mother. She was born beautiful and loved to laugh. She had two shallow dimples when she smiled...

She has a very kind heart. When she saw me kneeling on the ground, she came to ask me why I was kneeling on the ground. If I didn't say anything, she wouldn't be angry with me. Instead, she went to beg my mother...

Let my mother stop blaming me... from my punishment...

My mother loves my cousin very much, and has always raised her as her own daughter... So, on that day, I was exempted from punishment because of my cousin's plea..."

"Did you fall in love with her then?"

"No...no, I was only very grateful to my cousin at that time, and there was no love between men and women...

Until later, I was secretly deducted by my subordinates. The indifference of my mother and father was discovered by my aunt Nankang County, and I took her to live in her house. When my brother went to play in the suburbs, he fell in love with his cousin...

I still clearly remember that day, that big brother and I went hunting in the countryside together. In the trap set by Orion...injured my leg...I was hung on a net, screaming bitterly but no one paid attention to me..."

"Later, it was your cousin who saved you..."

"Yes, my cousin has never been a qualified lady since she was a child. Although she is the same as her mother, she was born in the Yu family, a century-old scholarly family.

But my cousin doesn't like those poems and songs, on the contrary, she likes horseback riding and archery very much, that day happened to be when my cousin sneaked out of the house, galloping her horse in the mountains..."

"She rescued me and bandaged my wound herself. In the end, she even took me back to the camp. Later... she was beaten and scolded by my uncle...

I felt very guilty, and later, I went to my uncle's house to apologize to her, but she told me that she was fine, as long as I was fine..."

"So...you fell in love with her because of this..."

"Yes... Maybe it's a little ridiculous, but in fact... that's how it is... Later... I often found time to go to my uncle's house to play with my cousin... My cousin doesn't like poetry and songs, so I will Talk about poetry and opera with her, she likes horseback riding and archery, so I personally make bowstrings for her..."

"You treat her very well." Xie Yihua said enviously.

"Yeah, maybe, but I feel like I don't do enough, but she, like you, always says that I'm good to her...

Maybe, she once really felt that way...

This is how the days passed day by day... Later, when I finally arrived at my cousin Jiji, I plucked up the courage and asked my cousin...would she like to be with me...I waited for a long time, and she said willing……

then!I am really happy!Really happy!It's almost bigger than me!I am even happier than my imperial examination! "When he said this, Qi Lan's dark eyes suddenly burst out with a kind of joyful light...one cannot easily ignore it.

"At that time, you must have been a very happy fairy couple." Xie Yihua looked at Qi Lan's expression, but at this moment, because of what Qi Lan said, the past between Qi Lan and the girl from the Yu family did not change in the slightest. Rather, it is because Qi Lan once felt sincerely happy to have such a person to accompany him in his life.

Looking at this extraordinarily open-minded little girl, Qi Lan felt inexplicably fond of him. Seeing the sun getting hotter and hotter, he led the little girl to a cool shade, and said:
"Yes, everyone in the capital knows that the second son of Shouguang Prince's Mansion is not favored. He is a child raised by his aunt's family. Apart from your sixth uncle and the Liang family's Liulang, I hardly have any friends. Your six uncles gave me family affection.

And my Yu...cousin, she is also a ray of light in my life... She has walked with me for many years and gave me family love...I have always wanted to hold hands with her She grows old together...I want to use my hands to create happiness for her..."

"Then you will blame her now... blame her for giving up your relationship..." Xie Yihua stood under the shade of a tree and asked cautiously.

"No...no, at the very beginning, I was shocked, cried, and even had the urge to ask her for clarification...

But, now, I just hope that she can live a good life. I can understand her. She did this only out of practical considerations. What right do I have to prevent her from going to a better future...

I am still very grateful to her for being with me for so many years. When I needed her the most, she was always there...just...the road ahead, I hope I can finish it by myself, and she can also be on the new road with Qi Lin, Walk out of a broad road..."

When Qi Lan finished speaking, she leaned against the big tree almost as if she was relieved, her expression was relaxed, and her smile was sincere, visible to the naked eye, it was a smile from the heart.

"Yes, you will get better and better, I believe in you." Xie Yihua said with a smile.

"It's getting late, thank you for listening to me so much, I'll take you back, if you go back late, the stepmother should be in a hurry." Qi Lan said.

"Grandmother knows I'm coming out. I just need to walk with grandma when I turn around. I'm dizzy and I don't want to go back to the banquet. Second uncle, you were not feeling well just now, so don't hold on body.

I think, with the princess and grandmother around, the concubine, the concubine, should not say anything..." Xie Yihua thought that if he went back, Qi Lan would be held back by Qi Lin, who was eyeing him. Yes, so, he immediately said in a hurry.

Qi Lan is extremely intelligent, so he naturally understands the reason why Xie Yihua said this, and he also naturally understands that Xie Yihua is not in order. Maybe he has a secret affection for him. He wants to reject the little girl's suggestion in his heart. The little girl doesn't have any feelings for men and women yet, he is not willing to ruin this little girl's life in order to get the Xie family's help...

Qi Lan immediately wanted to reject Xie Yihua's proposal. He would rather go to the front hall and be poured with wine by Qi, but...he saw Xie Yihua's wholehearted consideration for him at the moment, and the cruel refusal turned out to be How, can't say it.

The words of refusal turned Qi Lan's mouth again and again, and finally, under Xie Yihua's expectation, it turned into Qi Lan's sentence:
"Okay...the yard is huge, I'll take you to have a look..."
