swear not to be concubine

Chapter 41

A small official from the Ministry of Rituals came to find him. It was a pretense that he had to meet Xu Zhongxuan for something important, and it was a pretense arranged by Xu Zhongxuan early in the morning, in order to find an excuse to escape from the Yuzhao Building smoothly. That's all.

Now that Xu Zhongxuan is coming out of Taoyuan, there are young men outside who have already prepared horses.

Qi Hui lowered his hands and asked, "My lord, where are you going now?"

Xu Zhongxuan pressed the horse's back with one hand, kicked the pedals with one foot, turned on the horse neatly, reached out to take the reins of the horse, looked ahead, and said, "Go home."

Immediately, he pulled the reins of the horse in his hand, sat down and the tall blue horse neighed, hooves flew, and jumped out in an instant.

Qi Hui also hurriedly got on the horse, lashed the horse's butt with a whip, and then followed.

Xu Zhongxuan hurried home all the way, handed over the horse to the gatekeeper and led it to the stable, while he went straight to Ning Cui Xuan.

Inside Ning Cui Xuan, Jian Yan is having lunch with Xu Miaoning and Xu Miaojin.

After Jianyan came back, she originally wanted to go back to her own yard, but because of Xu Miaojin's affection, and Xu Miaoning tried her best to persuade her, she simply stayed in Ningcuixuan for lunch.

It's just that Mrs. Wu said a few days ago that she wanted to cut down the cost and save money, so the meat dishes in the family were reduced a lot, and today the whole family went out to enjoy the flowers in the garden, so there was no food in the kitchen. Now, Xu Miaojin and the others from Ke Keer are back again. Although Xia's mother cooked a few dishes in a hurry, they are not very good after all.So when Xu Zhongxuan came in, seeing the few dishes on the table, he couldn't help but frowned, and asked, "Why are there only a few dishes like this?"

Jian Yan, Xu Miaoning, and Xu Miaojin didn't expect Xu Zhongxuan to come back suddenly, so they all turned their heads and looked over in a hurry.

Ning Cui Xuan, where Xu Miaojin lived, had three rooms on the front, one bright and the other dark.The bright room is used to entertain guests, the east room is a bedroom, and the west room is a study.In the past, when Xu Miaojin ate, he ate alone on the wooden kang table under the south window of the bedroom. Today, because Jian Yan and Xu Miaoning were invited together, Qingzhu ordered the rough maid and the mother-in-law to carry a rosewood inlaid table. The marble round table was placed in the middle of the room, and everyone sat around and ate together.

All three of them stood up immediately.Xu Miaoning and Xu Miaojin called Big Brother, Jian Yan saluted, called Big Young Master, lowered her head, only thinking in her heart, why did Xu Zhongxuan come back suddenly?Could it be that Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Jane are back?

So she raised her head and asked again: "Just ask the eldest son, have my mother and the others come back?"

When Xu Zhongxuan heard this, he knew her intention immediately.

If Mrs. Jian came back now, I am afraid that Jian Yan will definitely say that she is going back to see Mrs. Jian, so she will say goodbye first.

She used to see him, and she would immediately find various reasons to leave.

Xu Zhongxuan didn't answer first, but walked to a chair beside him and sat down, and then said slowly: "Mrs. look."

Jian Yan felt that she was almost speechless.Who in the first place used Xu Miaojin's poor health as an excuse to let the three of them come back first?This is just an excuse to prevaricate Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Jane, but now this excuse is used by him himself, treating her as a fool, can't she hear it?

But Jian Yan only thought that Xu Zhongxuan was impatient to stay in Taoyuan and pretended to be a snake with those people, so she just found an excuse and ran back, and couldn't think of anything else.

At this time, Xu Miaojin saw that Xu Zhongxuan was sweating on his forehead, so he hurriedly asked Qingzhu to serve tea, and asked Xing'er to quickly find a fan for him, while asking him: "Brother, it's still spring, why are you so hot?" Is it like this? Even my forehead is sweating."

Xu Zhongxuan reached out and touched his forehead, and there were indeed some beads of sweat.

He didn't care too much, just said: "It's okay, maybe I left in a hurry just now."

Qingzhu served tea for a while, Xing'er finally found the fan and came out.But she was very embarrassed and said to Xu Miaojin: "Girl, my servant opened the gold-painted box in which you put your fan. After searching for a long time, they are all round fans like this, or sandalwood fans like this. Look, this Do you still want to give it to the eldest son?"

Xu Miaojin looked at her hands, and saw a white sandalwood fan made in Suzhou, with various patterns carved on it, and a round round fan made in Zhejiang, embroidered with patterns of wisteria kingfishers.

No matter how you look at these two fans, they are all used by women in the boudoir. If Xu Zhongxuan uses them, I'm afraid they will be a bit nondescript.

Xu Miaojin suppressed her smile, and taught Myolie to bring the two fans in front of Xu Zhongxuan, saying: "Brother, you can take a fan first and that's all."

Xu Zhongxuan glanced at Jian Yan, and saw that she just lowered her head and couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but the corners of her lips were still slightly curved.

So he casually took the round fan embroidered with wisteria kingfisher and fanned it in his hand.

On the way back just now, he was thinking, is it because he was too cold and not easy to get close to on weekdays, so Jian Yan found various reasons to leave when she saw him?But in fact, he naturally also has an easy-going side, for example, he is now fanning himself with the round fan used by women in the boudoir.

Xu Miaoning has a straightforward temper, and is not as tolerant as Xu Miaojin and Jian Yan, so seeing Xu Zhongxuan holding a girl's round fan in a serious manner on his face, he couldn't help laughing.

But she also suddenly felt that she would not be as afraid of Xu Zhongxuan as before.In fact, Xu Zhongxuan in the past was high above no matter how he looked, as if he was in the clouds, he was not easy to get close to, and a casual glance could make people feel cold all over his body, but now he took this ball fan and fanned it in his hand. I feel a lot more grounded.

"Brother," so she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked proactively, "Have you used your lunch yet?"

Xu Zhongxuan shook his head: "No."

Just now he came back in a hurry all the way, how could he have that free time to have lunch?

So Xu Miaoning invited him: "Brother, come and have lunch with us. Qingzhu, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Qingzhu agreed, turned around and took a pair of gold-inlaid tooth chopsticks and a blue-and-white porcelain bowl with a white background, put them on the table, and instructed Xing'er to put an embroidered pier next to the table.After everything was done, she and Xing'er bowed and retreated.

Xu Miaoning called Xu Zhongxuan: "Brother, come quickly."

Xu Zhongxuan didn't get up, but just looked at the plain dishes on the table, and then at Jian Yan, thinking about what Qi Sang said a few days ago, Mrs. Jian only let Jian Yan eat some vegetarian dishes every day, and the meat and fish are gone If it was just a little bit, he immediately had a worry in his heart.

He casually placed the round fan in his hand on the table next to him, and then he suggested to Xu Miaoning: "What's so delicious about such vegetarian dishes? I heard that a restaurant has recently opened on the street called Wulilou. Crystal goose and cherry meat are famous far and wide, why don't I ask Qi Sang and Qi Hui to go there and order a table of wine and food for us to eat?"

Xu Miaoning boldly asked: "Brother, are you paying the money?"

Xu Zhongxuan nodded: "Naturally."

Xu Miaoning asked again: "Then can I order two of my favorite dishes?"

Xu Zhongxuan nodded again: "Naturally."

So Xu Miaoning ordered sweet-scented osmanthus whitebait and jade silk belly lung.

Xu Zhongxuan then asked Xu Miaojin if there was anything else he wanted to eat. After thinking about it, Xu Miaojin ordered the same bad goose palm and the same bad duck letter, both of which were cold dishes.

Xu Zhongxuan asked Qingzhu to bring paper and pen earlier, and now he heard what the two of them said about the dishes, and wrote them down on the paper one by one.Then he raised his head and asked Jian Yan: "Miss Jian, what do you want to eat?"

As early as when Xu Zhongxuan proposed to treat guests, Jian Yan wanted to leave.

What is this?The three brothers and sisters are naturally close. It is not normal for the elder brother to invite the younger sisters to dinner.But she is an outsider after all, what's the matter with staying here with white eyebrows and red eyes?But now Xu Zhongxuan actually asked her what kind of food she wanted to eat.

So Jian Yan refused: "I have already eaten before the future, Eldest Young Master, and I can't eat any more now. Eldest Young Master, you can eat with Ning'er and Jin'er, and I will go back first. Otherwise When my mother comes back later and won't see me in the courtyard, I'm afraid she misses me."

After that, he got up and stood up.

Xu Zhongxuan stretched out his hand to pull her, but in the end he stopped abruptly, and just said: "Your mother and my grandmother are still admiring the flowers in the Taoyuan, and they won't be back for a while. If you come back, there will naturally be a servant girl who will come and say, Miss Jian doesn't need to go back in a hurry."

This is the meaning of staying.But it's a pity that Jian Yan has decided to go, she still said with a smile: "Even though my mother hasn't come back yet, I have been out for a long time today, and there is no one to look after me in the yard, so I don't feel at ease. .”

Fortunately, at this time Xu Miaoning pulled her arm and said: "Cousin, don't worry. My mother told the maids and mother-in-law in the yard earlier, and let them close the door when they go out. No one is allowed in by the gate of the courtyard, so what are you worried about? It’s rare that elder brother invites a guest today, why don’t you stay? After dinner, the two of us will go back together, okay?”

After all, the good cousin yelled more than a dozen times, and shook her arm to act coquettishly, and Xu Miaojin on the side also softly asked her to stay for dinner.

However, Jian Yan was only in love with the two of them, and all her excuses were exposed by the two of them, if she insisted on leaving, it might not be good, so she simply stayed.

Xu Zhongxuan was thinking at this moment, it seems that when Fan Ning'er asked Jian Yan for something, she would never refuse, so Jian Yan is actually a person who is soft but not hard?

Xu Miaoning was asking Jian Yan what kind of food she wanted to eat at this moment, Jian Yan thought for a while, and felt that since she had already decided to stay, if she asked her what kind of food to eat again, she might seem a bit embarrassed if she refused. Hypocritical.So she ordered a dish of Longjing shrimp and a dish of fried pork with crispy bamboo shoots.

Xu Zhongxuan hurriedly picked up a pen and wrote the dishes on the paper, and added some dishes and pastries by himself, and then asked Qingzhu to take the paper and hand it over to Qi Sang and Qi Hui, and asked them to go to Wulilou to prepare the paper. Bought these dishes back.

Qi Sang and Qi Hui took the paper, looked at the neat running script full of paper, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Qi Hui asked Qi Sang: "Brother, do you think the young master and the three girls can eat so many dishes and cakes? Even four Maitreya Buddhas with big bellies can't eat so much. Look, don't say anything else. , just this pastry, just the lotus flower cake, the silver silk roll, and the fruit shortbread are three boxes of each, are these for eating, or giving away?"

Qi Sang glared at him: "What do you care about so much? You and your master ordered us to do it."

But he was also thinking in his heart that he might really be giving it away, young master.

The two of them took the paper filled with the names of dishes and pastries, and in their arms they carried the silver ticket that Xu Zhongxuan asked Qing Zhu to bring over, and hurriedly went.

In Ningcui Pavilion, Xu Miaojin asked Qingzhu to take the chessboard and put it in the small warm pavilion in the study room, where he and Jian Yan were playing chess.

Although Wulilou is not far away, it is on the street next to the wall, but there are so many dishes and pastries that they can take a long time to clean up.And what to do in the interval between waiting for meals?Four people sitting and gossiping?Jian Yan felt that talking to Xu Zhongxuan was too brain-intensive, but if she kept silent, others would not know what she meant.After all, speaking of today, she has accepted Xu Zhongxuan's favor, if it weren't for him, maybe she would be embarrassed by Li Nianlan in the Yuzhao Building at this time.

Fortunately, Xu Miaojin proposed to play chess with her at this time, so she agreed immediately.

It is said that he is a real gentleman who watches chess without speaking, so it is normal to play chess without speaking?In this way, you can justifiably not speak.

Xu Miaojin's study room is very spacious, separated by a floor-to-ceiling cover of plum wood partition.On the side facing the window is a wooden kang, and on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling hood is a black lacquer and gold-painted bookshelf with Lei Lei books on it.Next to it is another flat-headed book case with black lacquer and gold, on which the paper, ink, brush and inkstone are chic.There is another rosewood chair behind the desk, and a pot of rhododendrons is placed on the black lacquered high table next to it, which is in full bloom.

Jian Yan and Xu Miaojin were sitting on the kang by the window, playing Go, while Xu Miaoning asked the maid to make a rosewood begonia embroidered pier, and sat on the sidelines to watch the game.As for Xu Zhongxuan, he randomly picked a book on the bookshelf, and then sat in the chair behind the desk and read it.

After watching for a while, he looked up at the three people sitting by the window.Xu Miaoning stretched out her index finger and put it in her mouth, staring at the chessboard without saying a word, while Xu Miaojin was holding a white piece in her hand, her slender eyebrows were tightly frowned, as if she was thinking about how to use the piece in her hand. It is good where the white stone falls.As for Jian Yan, she lowered her head slightly, and although she was looking at the chessboard, she only turned her side face to this side, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

A wind blew in from the Linghua window, bringing the fragrance of spring roses, and the verdant green gauze hanging on the floor-to-ceiling cover fluttered gently.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Zhongxuan's lips, and he lowered his head to read the book again.After reading for a while, I raised my head to look over there again, then lowered my head to read the book again, and so on.

In her previous life, Jian Yan's father was a Go enthusiast, and he taught her some Go knowledge in his spare time. In this life, Mrs. Jian invited a Go master to teach her to play Go in order to make her look more elegant. She is willing to study, so she has some attainments in this game of Go. How can Xu Miaojin be her opponent?After a while, she couldn't beat Jian Yan, and finally called Xu Miaoning, and the two sat side by side, giving each other ideas, but they still couldn't beat Jian Yan.If it wasn't for Jian Yan's deliberate concession, I'm afraid she would still lose even worse.

Xu Miaojin's chess skill was taught by Xu Zhongxuan, and it can be regarded as a small achievement. In the past, when playing chess with others, he seldom lost. The black and white twins on the chessboard are thinking about how many mistakes they made.

Xu Miaoning knew that she was a stubborn person who liked to dig into the corners of the earth, so she was afraid that she would stare at the chessboard and get confused, so she simply stretched out her hand and messed up all the black and white pieces on the chessboard, then turned her head to Xu Zhongxuan and said, "Brother, come quickly, you and My cousin is playing chess, and Jin'er and I are watching."

She meant to ask Xu Zhongxuan to come to the rescue, so that Xu Miaojin would not get stuck in the horns only thinking about playing chess later.

Jian Yan was taken aback, thinking to herself, this Ning'er is used to causing trouble for her.She always avoided Xu Zhongxuan out of fear, but this Ning'er took the initiative to call him over to play chess with her.

She was about to stand up and refuse, but it was too late, Xu Zhongxuan had already walked to the opposite of her and sat down, reaching out to pick up the white pieces on the chessboard.

Jian Yan had no choice but to reach out and pick up the white pieces on the chessboard without saying a word.

After picking all the pieces on the chessboard, Xu Zhongxuan handed over the chessboard with white pieces on his side, and took the chessboard with black pieces from Jian Yan's side, and then said to Jian Yan with a smile: "Miss Jane, please be merciful later."

It's kind of funny to say that.Jian Yan's face was slightly hot, but she still said as calmly as possible: "The eldest son is modest, and I will ask the eldest son to be merciful later."

According to the practice of playing the white piece first, Jian Yan picked up a chess piece in her hand, and after thinking for a while, she gently landed on the chessboard.Xu Zhongxuan then also dropped a son.

Both of them are masters, and both are cautious people, taking every step into consideration for many steps ahead.The difference is that Jian Yan may only be able to see the next five or six steps, but Xu Zhongxuan may see the next ten or even twenty steps.

This kind of game of digging holes for each other to jump for, it is obvious that Jian Yan can't dig holes for Xu Zhongxuan.So after working hard for a while, Jian Yan frowned a pair of beautiful crescent eyebrows, twirled a white ball between her fingers, just pondered and didn't know how to take the next step, but would first think about how to get along with Xu Zhongxuan The alienated mind is forgotten.

Xu Zhongxuan only saw the delicate jade-like white finger being held between her fingers, and her finger was so white that it was no different from this white finger.Looking forward, she saw that she was wearing two smooth gold bracelets on her right wrist, which was as white as frost, and two jade bracelets on her left wrist.

Those two jade bracelets were of excellent quality, like a puddle of green water, showing the slenderness and fairness of her wrists more and more.

Xu Zhongxuan didn't know why, but suddenly wanted to shake her wrist.

He hurriedly suppressed the thoughts in his heart, turned his eyes to his nose, his nose to his heart, and just focused on the battle situation on the chessboard.

Xu Miaoning had already dragged Xu Miaojin to play with melon seeds in the bright room, and there were only the two of them in the warm room of this apartment.However, because Jian Yan was thinking about the chess game, she didn't have time to speak, but Xu Zhongxuan felt that she shouldn't have such thoughts just now, she was very abrupt and beautiful, so she would just blame herself in her heart, and didn't speak for a while. It is very quiet inside, as if you can hear the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops outside the window.

After a while, there was only a light click, and it turned out that Jian Yan finally dropped the white piece in her hand.

Xu Zhongxuan settled down, thought for a while, and then dropped a sunspot.

Just now when he saw Jian Yan frowning and thinking about the chess game, he couldn't bear her worrying so much, so he thought about letting her go.But this handicap is also particular. After all, Jian Yan is also a master in Go. If the handicap is obvious, I am afraid that it will make her unhappy, so Xu Zhongxuan thought about it, so even if it is handicap, it is not very good. Obviously, at least within three steps it won't be visible anymore.

And after three steps, Jian Yan really looked slightly happy.

Because she was immersed in this game of chess, she forgot everything around her, so when she saw that the game of chess had a turning point, which was beneficial to her, she couldn't help showing a little smile on her face, and her pair of autumn water eyes were shining brightly .

Seeing Xu Zhongxuan, he gave another two steps indiscriminately, so Jian Yan felt that it was not as difficult for her to deal with it as before, and her slender eyebrows that were originally frowning gradually relaxed.

Xu Zhongxuan did not blindly give way to Jian Yan, after all, if he just blindly gave in, he might just teach Jianyan to see it and not to say it, but it would make her feel that playing chess with him is a boring thing.So he took a few steps and then made another move, which not only ensured that Jian Yan felt that playing chess with him was interesting, but also did not make her bother to think about how to take a step, and it could also prolong the time of playing chess , spend more time alone with her, why not do it?

After playing like this for a while, Xu Zhongxuan has always firmly controlled the direction of the whole chess game, and Qi Sang and Qi Hui have also returned.

Xu Miaojin asked Qingzhu to come in and invite the two of them to go out for dinner. When Jian Yan threw away the chess game, she still had some unsatisfactory expressions on her face, because the game of chess with Xu Zhongxuan today really taught her to feel very happy.

Xu Zhongxuan observed the words and expressions, and immediately asked while the iron was hot: "Miss Jian, how about we discuss each other another day?"

Jian Yan subconsciously agreed: "Okay."

It's just that when she came to her senses, she wished she could reach out and slap herself.

How come teaching her a game of chess can't move her tongue so fast?Can she go back on her word?

But Xu Zhongxuan didn't give her a chance to repent, he stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and said, "Miss Jane, please."

Jian Yan could only nod her head in embarrassment, but she didn't dare to go forward by herself, and let Xu Zhongxuan follow behind, so she declined a bit: "My lord, you should invite me first."

In the end, the refusal came and went, and the two walked out side by side.

Xu Miaojin's study room is partitioned by green gauze cabinets and open partitions.In the middle of the green gauze cupboard, the two doors are open, and light green soft silk curtains are hung.

Qingzhu opened the curtain outside, Jian Yan was a step behind and Xu Zhongxuan stepped forward.But after Xu Zhongxuan walked out, he actually stopped and waited for her in place.

Jian Yan just wanted to help her forehead.It's simply too polite to be so polite, it's so fucking tiring.

So she simply didn't bother to pretend any more, and just walked her own way, regardless of whether Xu Zhongxuan was in front, behind, or side by side with her.

On the round table in the middle of the Ming room, there should be a table full of dishes.In addition to the six dishes ordered by the three of them, there are also the two signature dishes Xu Zhongxuan mentioned, crystal goose, cherry meat, fish sticks with sweet-scented osmanthus, stewed crab meat and lion head, and a large bowl of ginseng black chicken soup.There are three lacquered square boxes next to it, and I don't know what else is inside.

The table was full of meat dishes, and there was no trace of vegetarian dishes.Jian Yan thought, is Xu Zhongxuan a local tyrant to a certain extent, or is he just a bumpkin who only knows how to eat meat and drink soup?

Xu Miaoning and Xu Miaojin hadn't taken their seats yet, they waited for Xu Zhongxuan and Jian Yan to come over, and after seeing Xu Zhongxuan took their seats, they then took their seats.

Although Xu Miaoning and Xu Miaojin have always played well together, the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds recently, and it is getting better and better than before. Sitting together affectionately, Jian Yan could only sit next to Xu Zhongxuan.

This feeling of sitting next to the person she wanted to stay away from, Jian Yan said, was a little square and a little drunk, so she just ate with her head down and tried not to talk.

Fortunately, the big family is very particular about eating without talking, so no one talks at the dinner table, and everyone is eating their own food.

While Xu Zhongxuan was holding the dishes, he looked at which dishes Jian Yan liked to eat without any trace, trying to roughly estimate what kind of taste she likes, so that he can choose what he likes in the future.Then he discovered that Jian Yan seemed to like to eat everything...

After the meal, Jian Yan was so satisfied that she just wanted to cry.How long has it been since she has eaten so many meat dishes so well?Over the years, my belly has been full of vegetarian food, without even a drop of oil or water.Today, she suddenly added so much oil and water, she was afraid that she would not get used to it.

The little maid served thick Maojian tea, which was so fresh and sweet, it was very refreshing.

Jian Yan held the teacup in her hand and drank it slowly, while listening to Xu Zhongxuan, Xu Miaoning and Xu Miaojin talking with a smile on her face.

It seems to be an illusion, but why does she feel that today's Xu Zhongxuan is not as aloof as before, a bit like he has stepped down from the altar, very easy-going, and feels so unattainable when he no longer looks at it?
And although Xu Zhongxuan was talking to Xu Miaoning and Xu Miaojin gently, from time to time he would subtly change the topic to Jian Yan's surroundings, so Jian Yan could only say a few words.After so many repetitions, Jian Yan didn't know how much she had said today.

After drinking a cup of tea, Jian Yan turned her head to look at the sun outside the house, guessing that Mrs. Jian and the others would be coming back soon, she took Xu Miaoning to get up and bid farewell to Xu Zhongxuan and Xu Miaojin.

Xu Zhongxuan immediately raised his head to look at the sun outside, but unexpectedly the sun was westward at some point.The shadows of green bamboos outside the house cast long shadows on the stone corridor. When the wind blew, the bamboo shadows on the ground swayed from side to side.

So Xu Zhongxuan didn't keep Jian Yan and Xu Miaoning anymore, just took two lacquered square boxes on the table and handed them over, saying: "Wuli House is not only well-known for its dishes, but also famous for its pastries. Just now I let Qi Sang and the others also brought back a few pastries, you, Ning'er, Jin'er and the others will each have a share."

It's okay to eat other people's food, but she still has to take other people's food before leaving, Jian Yan feels really embarrassed.

She refused: "I'm already very sorry for disturbing the eldest son's meal today. How can I take these pastries again? The eldest son can keep it for himself."

But Xu Zhongxuan had already handed a square box to Bai Wei who was standing behind her, and then said: "I never like sweets, so it's useless to give it to me."

Seeing that Jian Yan wanted to refuse again, he said again: "You don't have to feel sorry. I just thought that if I'm not here on weekdays, Jin'er will inevitably feel lonely by herself, and I hope that Miss Jian will be fine every day. I will spend more time with Ning'er to accompany her."

Now that the conversation has reached this point, Jian Yan had no choice but to salute Xu Zhongxuan, thanked her, and then accepted the pastries.

Xu Miaoning needless to say.Today she felt that her elder brother was no better than before, which was really great.So she said thank you big brother crisply, let Qing Ya take the square box in Xu Zhongxuan's hand, then took Jian Yan's arm, and said something to Xu Miaojin that my cousin and I would come to play with you again tomorrow, and then Waved her goodbye.

Xu Zhongxuan and Xu Miaojin stood on the stone platform, watching them walk out of the courtyard gate, and then turned back.

After Jian Yan and Xu Miaoning left the gate of Ning Cui Xuan, the two of them walked along the bank of the pool, talking while walking in the direction of the Lotus Fragrance Court.It's just that she couldn't walk for a while, she saw Xu Miaoning moved closer to Jian Yan, pointed to the front, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, Cousin Xuan is in front."

Jian Yan looked up, and she saw that Wu Jingxuan was hurrying here with her maid, Xueliu.
