Chapter 299 His Cousin
In front of a wide rosewood desk, the gentleman with a graceful appearance is sitting with his eyes down. Because his face is slightly pale and his expression is cold, at first glance, he looks lonely and cold, as clear as ice and snow on the top of a mountain.

After the maid bowed her head and entered the study, she carried the food box and walked straight towards Xie Zhan. Xie Zhan, who closed her eyes and rubbed her brows, stopped her footsteps and said, "Put it on the table by the west window."

After the maid got the order, she walked around the red sandalwood inlaid marble sitting screen and went to the west side of the study according to the order.

Xie Zhan's study occupies a vast area, and the style of the entire study is the same as his own, clean and simple, the position of everything is measured, the distance is coordinated, and meticulous.

The west window is a large floor-to-ceiling window, beside it is a wide couch, and a low table is placed in the middle. You can tell at a glance that people can sit here, play chess, make tea, sing the wind and enjoy the moon, You can enjoy the garden view with a glass of wine.

It's just that it's the twelfth lunar month at this time, and the window is cool and windy, so it's colder here than other places.

The maid opened the food box, took out a soup, three dishes, and a plate of brown sugar glutinous rice cake dessert, and was about to leave the West Room to invite Xie Zhan to enjoy it, when she heard a gentle and beautiful voice——

"cousin."

Xie Zhan stopped rubbing the center of his eyebrows, glanced at the door, and said "um".

The person who came was Lu Yuan, a distant relative of Xie Zhan. She had long curved willow eyebrows, big round eyes, and an innocent expression. There was always a smile on her lips, which made people look like a gentle girl.

In families like the Xie family, there are not to mention hundreds or even thousands of cousins ​​like Lu Yuan, but there are dozens of them.And this cousin has a lot of troubles, she is a poor person, her parents died one after another, she is left to live with her eight-year-old brother, her grandparents came to Jiankang City from other places to join Xie's family because of their relatives with Mr. Xie San.

As for why Lu Yuan didn't stay with Mr. Xie San, but came to Xie Yuan's mansion, the main reason was because of the scarcity of daughters under Mrs. Xie's name.The eldest daughter of Xie Yuan and his wife, Xie Xinyao, is married, and the youngest daughter, Xie Xinxuan, is too young.Mrs. Xie took pity on her life experience, and saw that Lu Yuan had a gentle personality, a girl who loved to laugh, was sensible, and well-educated, so she took her over from Mrs. Xie San and raised her under her knees.

Naturally, Mrs. Xie didn't say clearly whether there was some intention to match her and Xie Zhan, and others didn't know.Xie Zhan is also the head of the family, so even though everyone thought about it in their hearts, they didn't dare to discuss it.

Since Xie Zhan returned to his home to recuperate, Mrs. Xie personally supervised and made the medicine every day, and the heavy responsibility of delivering the medicine was also handed over to Lu Yuan, and it was a request. After Lu Yuan sent the soup and medicine, he had to stare at Xie Zhan and drink it before going back to his life. .

Knowing Lu Yuan's purpose, Xie Zhan sat where he was, waiting for her to bring out the medicine.

"Cousin, it's time to drink the soup." Lu Yuan spoke softly and handed over the medicine cup.

Xie Zhan raised his head and drank it all, and handed back the empty cup, "I'm sorry."

After Lu Yuan put away the medicine cup, he did not leave directly, but took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, looked at Xie Zhan, and timidly asked: "Yuan'er made a calligraphy and painting, I wonder if my cousin can help Yuan Do you guide me one or two?"

Xie Zhan looked away, thinking that this cousin is an outsider after all, and she was sent by her mother to deliver medicine twice a day in the wind and snow from Wenxitang, which is considered hard work. Today is the last day Taking the decoction every day, and saying a few words, it was considered a thank you, so he nodded and said "yes".

Lu Yuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly took a step towards Xie Zhan. Just as he was about to open his painting, he heard a charming female voice from Xijian——

"My lord, you haven't eaten yet."

Xie Zhan paused, the surprise in his eyes instantly lit up, and was suppressed in time.

He stood up abruptly, and strode towards the West Room with great strides.

Walking around the screen, she saw Fuxuan dressed as a maid standing by the window, looking at him calmly with a solemn face.

Xie Zhan got up suddenly and left, and Lu Yuan, who didn't know why, also walked over.Seeing her coming, Fuxuan quickly bowed her head, respectfully and respectfully being a "handmaiden", so what Lu Yuan saw was just a maidservant whose face could not be seen standing in front of her cousin.

After scanning up and down, she asked in surprise: "When did my cousin have a maid in his courtyard?" And she was still the kind who was exquisite and seductive at first glance.

Xie Zhan looked at the hair bun in front of him that was almost the same as that of the maid in the Xie Mansion, and raised his lips. Before he could speak, he heard the "servant" say: "The servant just came today."

The master didn't speak, but the maid took the conversation away. Lu Yuan became suspicious and said "Oh".

The three of them were silent for a while, and seeing some dishes on the short table, Lu Yuan took the initiative to say: "Cousin, you can eat first, and it's not too late to give Yuan'er instructions after eating."

The servant girl lowered her head, took a step towards the food box, stretched out her hand to open the food box, and said: "The portion of the dishes sent by the slave is sufficient. If the girl wants to have supper with the young master, it is enough. I just prepared an extra bowl——"

"No need." Xie Zhan interrupted sharply, paused for a moment, and said: "Today I haven't eaten all day, and now my stomach is really empty."

The implication is: he can eat all of these.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan looked at Xie Zhan with concern in his eyes, and said, "How can my cousin not eat for a day? You should pay attention to your body."

Unexpectedly, his words received such a response, Xie Zhan's expression froze, he quickly glanced at Fu Xuan without any trace, and reluctantly nodded.

Lu Yuan immediately said again: "It's a bit cold here, go and bring a brazier."

This was obviously said by Chao Fuxuan.

Is it okay to order the girl on the top?
Xie Zhan felt nervous, and was about to say no, but Fu Xuan answered "Yes", then quickly walked to the door, and said to Shi Qing confidently: "Commander Shi, please bring a brazier."

Shi Qing said loudly: "Yes."

It's just a new little maid who actually ordered Commander Qi Shi to do rough work, and Commander Shi was very obedient and obedient. The status reversal was so abnormal that Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little baffled.

Before she could think about it, Xie Zhan gave her the eviction order with a blank face: "I still have work to do, my cousin will go back first."

Lu Yuan had no choice but to look down at the painting in his hand that had not been taught by his cousin, and then look at Xie Zhan's extremely alienated expression, knowing that today was hopeless, so he had to leave Xie Zhan's study step by step.

Walking to the courtyard and looking back, Lu Yuan's eyes widened in shock.

The two fuzzy figures printed on the carved window unexpectedly merged into one place at once, and they have not been separated for a long time...

It's obvious that they are embracing each other!
Lu Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't help doubting: "The maid, could it be my cousin's housemaid?"

But isn't cousin an incomparably cold gentleman?She had inquired a few times earlier, and she said that the sixth cousin had no desires or desires.

At this time, in the study room, the door was closed, and the gentleman who "has no desires and desires" firmly hugged her waist from behind the supporting girl.

"The curfew drum is over, where are you going?" Xie Zhan asked.

Fu Xuan didn't hide from him, but her voice was extremely cold: "Don't thank you for your trouble, Mr. Nanjun, I have brought the badge of Lord Nanjun, and I can go back anytime."

Listen, the little girl started calling him "Mr. Xie" again. If she wasn't angry, what else could it be?
Xie Zhan leaned down, put his cheek against Fu Xuan's face, rubbed it lightly, and said, "Why don't you go when you're here", and pecked the girl's face with his mouth, the meaning of flattery was self-evident .

Fu Xuan turned a blind eye to this, stretched out her hand to pinch Lang Jun's ear, and pulled it out unceremoniously.

Xie Zhan freed up one hand, grabbed Fu Xuan's hand and pressed it down, clasped her fingers together, then stuck to the girl's ear again, opened his mouth to bite her earlobe, and crushed it, Fu Xuan turned his head to avoid it, but The "Five Fingers Mountain" who couldn't escape Lang Jun was brought back by Xie Zhan.

The person who was grinding was itchy and his breathing was messy, so Xie Zhan asked in a tender voice, "Why is Madam here?"
