Chapter 11
That night Yayoi slept in Yingluo Pavilion again.

Because of Shen Qian's kick, Ah Qi hurt her body and needed to rest for a while.Yayoi left her to rest in the official residence of the Yamen, and invited an inferior girl from the back residence of the Luo County Magistrate to take care of her.

After Duan Sinan promised her to fully understand the future troubles, he disappeared completely, but because she was alone, he left Hongjing to her for emergencies.

The autumn rain just fell during the day, and the last heat of late summer seems to have been dispelled.There were a few residual red flowers floating on the lantana tree, but now they fell to the ground mixed with rainwater and fell into the dust.

There are cumulus clouds in the sky, and most of the moonlight is blocked. Although the sky is still clear, it makes people feel that the night is getting darker and more foggy.

Yan Hongjing is highly skilled in martial arts, so he is naturally a master who doesn't like to take the usual path.He was lying high, leaning directly on the beam behind the eaves.

Yayoi was still leaning against the railing, her figure hidden in the twilight.

Without the unparalleled appreciation of the moonlight today, the atmosphere is much duller.She casually plucked a leaf by the railing and peeled it carefully along the veins. There was a slight sound of insects, which seemed somewhat interesting and comfortable.

Yan Hongjing couldn't hold back, poked his head out of the shadows, and asked, "Why did Miss Shen run away from marriage?"

After these days, he is familiar with Yayoi, and he is quite close to Yayoi, so he doesn't call him "Shen catcher" or "Shen catcher".

Yayoi replied, "I don't want to marry."

"Why did that girl come to do this headhunting?" Yan Hongjing changed his posture and asked tirelessly.

"I want to come."

"That girl..." He spoke again.

"Mr. Yan," this time Yayoi interrupted him, looking up at him, "Master Duan is a bit unpredictable, but he must be a kind person, right?"

Yan Hongjing was stunned for a moment, flashed through his mind the scenes of Duan Sinan scolding his incompetent son with a cane, beating the arrogant brother-in-law of General Wuwei until he vomited blood, and breaking the hand of Miss Yinglian from Tianxianglou. She shuddered, "Why did you say that?"

"I see you, you don't look like a guard at ordinary times, you are full of master's temper." Yayoi glanced sideways, then lowered her head, and slowly peeled off the green and fragrant leaves.

"I'm not a guard!" Yan Hongjing was a little annoyed.But thinking that the cold woman in front of him was his good teammate, together with his confidant in Ping Wanghou's mansion, he suppressed his anger and closed his mouth abruptly.

After another long silence, Yayoi seemed to have peeled off the leaf neatly along the veins.

Yan Hongjing is a person who likes to be lively, and now the silence coming from all directions is about to overwhelm him.He was restless, scratching his ears and cheeks, and was about to speak again, but he heard the eyes of the woman in the shadow move, and spoke first:
"Just now you said you were not a guard? Then what are you?"

"I'm following Shi...Master Duan to repay his kindness." He quickly swallowed the title.Now that they are visiting privately on microservices, they must not expose their identities!

"Oh..." Yayoi laughed, "It seems that Master Duan is really kind."

That's not the case!Yan Hongjing thought this way, but he couldn't refute it, and it was even more uncomfortable to hold back, so he didn't answer for a while.

Yayoi moved her body and moved out of the shadows, her cold eyes became darker and darker in the night.At this moment, she was smiling, teasing successfully, "Okay, you don't have to hold back. I know that the water in the capital is very deep, and I'm not interested in your identities."

Yan Hongjing didn't know what to say for a moment, and heard Yayoi continue to say:

"So you don't have any interest in me."

This kind of courteous reciprocity can't afford half of the loss.He choked for a moment, and the courtyard of Yingluo Pavilion finally became quiet.

Yayoi's face slowly disappeared into the shadows again.

In the middle of the night, there was finally a little movement in Pingting Courtyard——

A person entered the small kitchen in the backyard of Pingting Courtyard.

Yayoi stared at that person steadfastly, the night was getting darker, the moon had already set, the whole yard was dark, and one couldn't even see anyone, let alone who it was unless one looked carefully.

Yan Hongjing's eyesight was much better than Yayoi's. He sat up straight and took a look, "It's a woman." He glanced at Yayoi again and asked, "Do you want me to go over and see who it is?"

"There's no need to startle the enemy." Yayoi shook her head, "I think I already know who it is."

The figure entered the small kitchen, and hurried out after a while, and disappeared into the darkness under the cover of the night.Yayoi's eyes were clear, she just stared at the shadow and turned around the corridor, suddenly showing a faint smile.

Yan Hongjing gave her a strange look.From his point of view, this is obviously a situation where there is no progress, why is it that Miss Shen is as happy as if she has let go of a boulder in her heart?This Shen girl looks quiet and cold, but she is like the prince wearing a mask, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

The starlight was dim, but the smile on Yayoi's lips made it all the more dazzling.The autumn is slightly cool, and everything seems to be the same, but some people can't wait, showing their feet.

***

Ban Xia is the rough envoy of the Zhou family's backyard, and she never had the chance to meet the young lady, but the day before yesterday, the young lady fell down from the boudoir and was in short supply, so she had the opportunity to serve Zhou Yanyan in the yard.

Miss's personal maid, Lianqiao, ordered her to take care of the decoction in the small kitchen.I go there three times a day and bring it to the lady's room on time.

When she delivered the medicine, she caught a glimpse of the young lady once in the living room.She was born with a beautiful face, delicate and lovely, although her eyes were closed and bloodless, she could still see a vague brightness.

It's nothing more than the young master of the He family coming to propose marriage.

The He family is the leading big family in Fuliang County. It is said that they are related to the capital and are the offshoot of some kind of high official.The young master of the He family won No. 1 in the rural examination, and he will also be a high-ranking official in the capital in the future.

Ban Xia met the young master of the He family once, at the market to the west.She was nearly run over by a horse and he saved her.She still remembered the bright smile of the young master of the He family, which was more beautiful than the plain brocade and satin in March.

But she always knew that by herself, how could it be possible for Xiao to think about such a man as distant as a fairy—no, even thinking about it would be blasphemy.

This morning, she delivered the boiled medicine to the young lady's room on time.After returning to the small kitchen, while pouring the medicine residue into the flower bed in the backyard, her thoughts turned to the young master of the He family.

Suddenly, I heard someone running in a hurry from behind, and the harsh sound of the wooden stool being knocked down.Before she could turn her head, Dongqing who was next to Miss slapped her up: "Say! Why are you trying to harm Miss!"

 The journey is finally over!The desert is so beautiful, tomorrow's update may not be on time~\(≧▽≦)/~ la la la
