The Red Mansion's Traversal Raiders

"I don't know, when did Hua's backyard become a place for you to quarrel and make trouble." The dim and warm light in the room was projected, falling on Xi Ren standing on the steps, forming a soft halo.

"Xi Ren, I..." Huang Cheng turned around, stammering to defend himself.

"Mr. Huang?" Xiren nodded indifferently, "I remember that the gate was locked, how did Mr. Huang get in?"

Huang Cheng thumped in his heart, Xiren still called him Brother Huang yesterday, but now he is called Mr. Huang who was unfamiliar to him, which is not very good.

Huang Cheng opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he couldn't say in front of his master that he had climbed over the wall, so he could only touch his nose weakly.Originally, he was going to confide his heart when he saw Xiren, and when Xiren forgives him, the two of them will be together again, even if Xiren knows how he got here, at most, he will say a few coquettish and angry words, and he will definitely not be too angry .

But now that the number one enemy is standing in front of him, Huang Cheng really can't say the words of confession in front of this guy.

"Can I take a step to speak?" Huang Cheng tried his best to appear sincere and reliable.

"Is there anything we can't talk about tomorrow?" Han Ning regained his composure at this moment, and broke the stage, "The night is cold and dew heavy, lonely men and widows, I'm afraid it's inconvenient. And I look at Mr. Huang's face a bit inappropriate, I'm afraid it's Did you run out before you recovered from your illness?"

"Are you sick?" Xiren turned his head and looked at Huang Cheng quietly.

"A little sickness, I'm making you laugh." Seeing Xiren greet him as soon as he heard this, Huang Cheng thought happily that Xiren still had him in his heart. He pretended to be weak and coughed twice, pitiful Xixi pleaded, "Just say a few words, okay?"

Huang Cheng's acting skills are not good enough, whether it is Han Ning or Xi Ren present, he can see through it at a glance.But Xiren thought about it, and turned to Han Ning and said, "Thank you, Doctor Han, for your concern, please allow us to speak for a while."

This place is still the Hua family, and Han Ning has already stepped in as a substitute just now. Now that the master speaks, he naturally can't say anything more.

"I'm just outside the corner gate. If there is any accident, remember to call me." Han Ning said softly, he left the lantern behind, and left the backyard directly, ignoring the proud Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng was so proud of himself that he gave up the face of this little boy for him.At this moment, Huang Cheng didn't care about Han Ning's intentions, he just regarded it as a weak demonstration of the losers, so he didn't care about it.

With a creak, the corner door closed.

"After all, why do you have to climb over the wall, break into the house, and talk about it late at night?" Xiren asked calmly.

The happy bubble in Huang Cheng's heart was suddenly poked away, and the posture of asking the crime seemed wrong at all.His usual eloquence in fighting against the Confucian scholars seemed to have suddenly disappeared. His fingers unconsciously touched the box in his sleeve, and he said, "Are you angry?"

Xiren wrapped the short shawl around his shoulders, and laughed lightly, "If it's my brother standing here, do you believe that he will beat you so hard that you won't even recognize your own mother?"

Hua Zifang has always been kind to everyone, but if he really annoyed him... Huang Cheng shivered, "It's my fault!"

"If you know you're wrong, you should go back the same way now without saying a word." Xiren said to see off the guests.

"But I have something to tell you!" Huang Cheng plucked up his courage and looked at Xi Ren confidently, but in Xi Ren's silent and alienated attitude, Huang Cheng became less and less confident, and he lowered his head aggrievedly, " If I don't say anything else, you will be snatched away..."

"Where did you come up with that stupid talk?" Seeing Huang Cheng's aggrieved look, Xiren couldn't help laughing.

"He has already entered the house and lived in your house. If I were a little later, he could..." Huang Cheng muttered.

"Don't talk nonsense, Doctor Xiao Han rested at my house because my brother drank too much and got too drunk." Xiren hurriedly stopped Huang Cheng from continuing. After all, Han Ning is an old friend of the family. It's really not good for this kind of rumor to chill friendship.

Seeing that Xiren didn't notice Han Ning's intentions at all, Huang Cheng happily pretended to be confused, "I blamed him."

After solving Han Ning's problem, Huang Cheng was in a good mood. He thought it would be best if he could win it in one fell swoop. He encouraged himself and took out the jewelry box, "Yesterday I left in front of the pharmacy with an excuse to give you Buy a gift."

As he spoke, Huang Cheng opened the box, and the butterfly hairpin lay quietly on the flannel under the moonlight.

Xiren immediately recognized that this butterfly hairpin was the hairpin she had caught sight of yesterday, but because she was running out of money, she had to look at it and sigh.In fact, Xiren's desire to buy it had already weakened a lot when she left the silver building. If it hadn't appeared again tonight, she would have almost forgotten its appearance.

However, when this butterfly hairpin reappeared, the sense of astonishment came to mind again.

This is a butterfly hairpin inlaid with gold jewels. The gold wings are as thin as a cicada's wings. It is filigree and embedded with rubies. The gold thread trembles gently under the moonlight. Pearls the size of rice grains are chiseled on it, which is light and gorgeous.

But Xiren didn't reach out to pick it up, "So you made a mistake in your preface yesterday to cover up this?"

"I want to give you a surprise." Huang Cheng scratched his head, not daring to meet Xi Ren's eyes, and was a little shy.

"So, that Peony girl didn't pick up your jade pendant accidentally, but saw you buying this hairpin. You didn't want her to leak the news, so you blocked her a few times?" Xiren drew inferences from one instance, and quickly deduced come out.

"Yes, the surprise I gave you, how can you let other people destroy it casually." Huang Cheng took it for granted.

"Then how did she pick up your jade pendant?" Xiren asked again.

"I probably fell down by accident when I was in the silver building." Huang Cheng didn't pay attention to such trivial things at the time. Now when the attacker asked him, he reluctantly recalled it, but he didn't know it too well.

"I remember one time when you sent my brother back, it seemed that this Peony girl was with you." Xiren lowered his eyes, "I heard from my brother that you recommended Peony to him. And judging from yesterday, you Knowing her early in the morning, the friendship seems quite unusual?"

"I have indeed met her a few times, but I ordered it when we were entertaining. It's just a little friendship on the surface of the wine. Who will remember who after the table?" Huang Cheng carefully looked at Xi Ren's expression and explained.

"But I see, this Peony girl doesn't have any superficial affection for you." Xiren sarcastically said.

"I don't care about her affection for me at all." Huang Cheng looked into Xi Ren's eyes firmly, "The person I like is you!"

The mocking smile on Xi Ren's lips slowly dissipated, she opened her mouth, and was speechless for a while.

In her previous life, she was born as an orphan, and she had no way out except relying on herself since she was a child.She devoted herself to studying all the way, and did not choose to continue her studies after graduating from university, so she directly found a job.Unable to return to the orphanage after graduation, she has been striving to have a home of her own. Unexpectedly, after working hard for so long, she finally got the house, but she came to this world within a few days of enjoying it.

And when she came to this world, she has been fighting for freedom and for her family without any slack. Now that she has regained her freedom, her family has a small surplus, and it is time to enjoy life. She never thought about having a peach blossom one day will fall on her head...

It wasn't until Huang Cheng pierced the window paper that Xi realized what the vague goodwill in her heart represented.

pity……

"I've always been a domineering person. If someone is included under my command, he must belong to me from the hair to the heel." Xiren's gaze fell on Huang Cheng's face, "You said earlier that it was because of entertainment, Did you order a prostitute like Peony?"

"Yes." Seeing that Xiren didn't directly refuse, Huang Cheng tightened his nerves and replied cautiously.

"Then did you ever stay there overnight?" Xi Ren asked bluntly, her black and white eyes stared straight at Huang Cheng.

"I..." Huang Cheng instinctively felt that this question was very important, and racked his brains to prepare his words. He completely forgot how inappropriate it was to ask an unmarried girl's house, "Occasionally, I am so drunk that I can't get up. , will stay and rest for a while.”

Xiren's face turned completely cold.

Huang Cheng panicked, he hurriedly grabbed Xi Ren's sleeve, "I used to be ignorant, so I stayed overnight a few times, but that was before, ever since I fell in love with you, I have never been to that kind of place again! Xiren, I was wrong, I promise I will never go there again!"

Xiren never takes this kind of empty talk that doesn't cost money seriously, but looking at Huang Cheng, who has always been in high spirits and looks arrogant, with regret and uneasiness on his face at this moment, Xiren's heart seems to have been gently shaken. Scratched a bit, a little unbearable.

"Like it? Guarantee? How much is this worth?" Xiren murmured softly.

"Are you afraid that I'll talk you out of nothing?" Huang Cheng smiled slightly, "If you promise me, I will ask someone to come to my door to propose marriage tomorrow, and we will be together forever. You have a lifetime to supervise me Can it be done, okay?"

"Marriage proposal?" Xiren's eyes froze for a moment, "You never mentioned this to your uncle or aunt, did you?"

"Yeah, I want to settle the matter with you, and then tell my parents." Huang Cheng smiled silly.

"It seems that you haven't noticed it at all." Xiren sighed lightly, seeing Huang Cheng's puzzled expression, and said directly, "In the past year, your sister and I have been on good terms, and I have visited you several times. I was supposed to visit my aunt, but I was never received."

"I'm busy with family affairs, maybe..." Huang Cheng said this, but he couldn't take it anymore, holding the box at a loss.

"You see, my aunt doesn't even accept your sister making friends with me." Xiren shook his head and smiled, "let alone your eldest son married, how can she allow a commoner woman with no background to be her His eldest daughter-in-law?"

Huang Cong held the box tightly, almost deformed, "But...but your brother is going to take the imperial examination, and with your talent, let alone the Jinshi exam, you may even be the number one scholar. A rising tide lifts all boats, and my mother will agree!" Your brother is sure that this is the first time in Huang Cong's history, and he sincerely thanked Hua Zifang for her real talents and learning.
