Huaxi Chronicle

Xun Feibai returned to the room and put away all his belongings.She thought that maybe after returning from Nanyi Lake, she could go to the hotel for two days. Yan Cong'an just had such a cold expression, and she didn't want to see her after thinking about it.

When I was packing my bags, I caught a glimpse of two sachets from the corner of the eye. They were bought on the street the day before yesterday when I had dinner with Senior Sister Mu. They contained the dried jasmine flowers brought back from Baoshanzhai. I bought two specially to give one away. Yu Yan Cong'an.

She took out one of them and put it on the low table in the house, packed up the package and went out.

Xun Feibai took the package out of Yiyuan, and when he passed by the room, Yan Cong'an was still drinking tea, his face still frosty.She thought for a while, and Tong Yan Cong'an said: "I have been bothering you a lot these days. I bought you a sachet when I went out that day and put it on the low table in the house. Thank you Cong'an for taking care of me these days. I will definitely meet again when I have the opportunity in the future." Thanks."

After finishing speaking, Xun Feibai didn't dare to look at Yan Cong'an's cold eyes, turned around and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

Yan Cong'an originally thought that she was just going out for a few days, but from what she said, it seemed that she would not return to this random garden again, and the meaning of resoluteness in her words was even more obvious.She was a little dazed for a moment, but when she came back to her senses, the man was no longer in the courtyard.The anger dissipated in an instant, she hurriedly got up and went to the west room, and saw that all Xun Feibai's belongings in the room had disappeared, only the sachet on the short table and the three clothes she had made for Xun Feibai were left. Put it there neatly.

Looking at the empty room, Yan Cong'an was momentarily at a loss, mixed with endless grievances.

Why is this person like this every time, and he just walks away.

The next day.

Nanyi Lake, cruise ship.

There were more than ten people traveling together this time.In addition to Zhao Shiyi, Pang Sishui, Hao Huiwan, there are two classmates Li Zhendou and Wu Ming, and Hao Huiwan also invited the singer Yang Xiaoniang from that day to accompany her, and the rest are the servants and maids of Hao Huiwan and others.

Xun Feibai stood alone on the deck at the stern of the ship, looking at the vast lake, his melancholy, like the mist on the river, lingered in his heart and could not be dissipated.

Zhao Shiyi walked up to her, and asked aloud, "Does Fei Bai have something on his mind?" Xun Feibai didn't look too good when he came yesterday, but he was with his companion yesterday, so he didn't ask any questions.

Xun Feibai withdrew his gaze, looked up at the mast and was silent for a while, Zhao Shiyi thought she would not say any more, but heard her ask in a low voice: "Shiyi, will you definitely get married if you promise to get married?"

Zhao Shiyi was startled when he heard the words, he was already thinking quickly, and he guessed the reason, and asked aloud: "But you have trouble with Mrs. Yan San?"

Xun Feibai lowered his head, and said softly: "Yes and no. You also know the situation in my family, and there is a difference between me and her. I just think that I am not suitable for her."

Zhao Shiyi was a little surprised: "You and her are already engaged, why do you still think so?"

Xun Feibai said indifferently: "Now that I think about it, she may have no choice but to be engaged to me for a while." She thought for a while, and said a little helplessly: "Or maybe it's just a stopgap measure."

In the past few days, Xun Feibai had thought a lot. She remembered what Yan Cong'an had told her about her parents, the reason why she returned to Huaxi County, and the struggle between the Yan family she mentioned.Xun Feibai suddenly felt that Yan Cong'an's agreement to be engaged to her at that time and asking her to marry her was probably just Yan Cong'an's expedient measure.

The two of them did not get married because they loved each other.

I mentioned the marriage that day because of the guilt of Jingshi, and I wanted to be a responsible person.But Yan Cong'an should have been forced to do it because of the situation at home.

Perhaps it was because of this that Yan Cong'an didn't care about the gap between her and him. Perhaps it was because of her ordinary family background that Yan Cong'an agreed to be engaged to him. Simpler.

Zhao Shiyi was a little stunned. Every time Xun Feibai said something, he was startled, but he didn't want to ask in detail, so he just asked, "Do you have a relationship with her?"

The river breeze blows across the water, bringing a little bit of coolness.

Xun Feibai said a little downcastly: "I like her. But I don't know what she thinks."

"It should be unintentional." The voice was faint and weak.

Zhao Shiyi didn't know how to comfort him for a while, he was the same age as Xun Feibai, but he had never experienced love affairs, so he thought for a while and said: "Since you like her, but you don't know her heart, then you can ask her." That's right. If she is also interested in you, then even if your identities are different, it doesn't matter much."

He paused for a moment, then calmly said: "If she has no intentions of you, then the two of you will call off the engagement, and you will be separated from each other."

Xun Feibai raised his head slightly, looked at Zhao Shiyi, as if he was moved by him.

Seeing her looking at him, Zhao Shiyi said with a smile, "Instead of making random guesses, you might as well ask directly. Even if the result is not what you expected, it's not a pity."

"Furthermore, with Fei Bai's talent and learning, next year's gold list in Kyoto will definitely be at the top. Even if Mrs. Yan San doesn't know how to inlay gold and jade, there are still some young masters and young ladies who are very happy. You see, I am not worried like this, so why should Fei Bai be troubled?" No wife."

Xun Feibai was amused by his fake sour appearance, and thanked him with a light smile.

Zhao Shiyi patted her on the shoulder and said: "Don't bother others here, go to the cabin with me to have a drink, a drink to relieve thousands of worries."

The two turned around and walked back, only to see a young woman standing at the cabin door, staring at the direction they came from.

Both were taken aback for a moment, and they didn't know how long this person stood here.

Miss Yang was not at all embarrassed when she saw them, she smiled generously and said, "Miss Hao and the others asked me to find you two."

The two agreed, and the three returned to the cabin together.

The oars paddled across the lake, startling a sea of ​​gulls.

In the evening, a group of people found a hotel by the Nanyi Lake for lodging.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door of Xun Feibai's room, she stood up and opened the door, only to see Miss Yang standing outside the door holding a bowl.

When she saw Xun Feibai, she raised the bowl in her hand and said with a smile: "I just saw that you drank a lot of wine on the boat, so I made you a bowl of hangover soup."

Seeing this, Xun Feibai hurriedly refused and said, "Miss Yang, I'm not drunk, so I don't need this soup."

Miss Yang lowered her eyebrows when she heard the words, with a look of disappointment on her face, she lowered her voice and said aggrievedly: "Why is Miss Xun so polite? Then I have never repaid you for your help. It's just a bowl of hangover soup , Miss Xun still refuses."

"Is Miss Xun looking down on me as a singer?"

Seeing her misunderstanding, Xun Feibai quickly explained: "That's not the case, Miss Yang, don't misunderstand."

After listening to her explanation, Miss Yang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then you can accept this soup. It's getting dark, so I'll go back first, and Miss Xun will also rest early." , she handed the hangover soup in her hand to Xun Feibai, then turned and left.

Xun Feibai looked at the soup in his hand, and said to her back: "Thank you, Miss Yang."

She turned around and put the soup on the table, then closed the door and walked back to the bed, intending to continue resting.But after lying on the couch, he felt that his throat was really dry after drinking too much wine, so he got up and drank the soup on the table in one gulp, and then went back to the bed and fell asleep again.

For several days after that, Miss Yang would always bring hangover soup or other food at night, but Xun Fei refused in vain, and Miss Yang said that in order to repay the kindness of saving her, she gave her the food regardless. Without staying, he turned around and left, Xun Feibai had no choice but to take the food into the house.

It's strange to say that every day when she accepts food or hangover soup, she doesn't want to eat it, but after a long time, she always feels hungry or dry in the mouth, so she gets up and eats it again. This is Miss Yang's chef. The art is also really good, and the snacks he made are very suitable for Xun Feibai's appetite.

Besides delivering food, Miss Yang never got close to her during the day, nor did she intend to overstep the distance, so Xun Feibai only thought that she was really repaying the alley thing that day, and didn't take it to heart.

Several people played together in Nanyi Lake for seven days, and when they returned to Binzhou, it was June [-]th, and the next day was the day when the rankings were released.

Random garden.

The treasure box handed the news from the hidden guard to Yan Cong'an, thought for a while and said, "Third lady, the list will be released tomorrow."

Yan Cong'an unfolded the note in his hand, and read the content on it: I have returned, we had a good conversation along the way, and today I sent cakes.She read it several times, only to feel that the happy conversation was very dazzling, twisted four fingers, tore up the note, and threw it into the water bowl.

Seeing her uneasy expression, the treasure box thought for a moment, then lowered its head and said, "Third lady, the treasure box has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Yan Cong'an raised his eyes and looked at the treasure box. This person rarely talked, if he did talk, he must have something to do. He nodded and said, "Talk about it."

The treasure box looked up at her and said, "If San Niangzi is angry in her heart, she should tell Miss Xun that she knows about it. Miss Xun is sincere, she may not be able to guess why San Niangzi is angry, but she can tell that San Niangzi is not happy. But the third lady didn't say the reason, and with Miss Xun's temperament, she would only think that the third lady didn't like her, not because of other things. In this way, the little lady Xun would definitely want to stay away from the third lady. Don't annoy you in front of San Niangzi."

Yan Cong'an didn't answer when he heard the words, but carefully thought about the meaning of the treasure box's words, and asked softly: "You mean she's leaving, because you think I'm tired of her?"

The treasure box nodded: "This is what I guessed. Outside the courtyard that day, I saw that Miss Xun's expression was a little lonely, and she looked at Wu Xiaolang with a hint of envy in her eyes. I guess that Miss Xun's expression was a bit lonely that day. Apart from misunderstood San Niangzi and Wu Xiaolang, I also think that your two identities are more compatible."

"Third Lady may not care, but I suspect that Miss Xun always feels that she is not good enough for Third Lady. And Young Lady Xun is extremely smart, so I think she should be able to figure out why Third Lady was engaged to her at that time. Putting the two things together, Miss Xun doesn't know what San Niangzi wants, she must think that San Niangzi's engagement to her is an expedient measure, and now that she has someone she really likes and matches, it's normal not to like her."

Yan Cong'an frowned after listening to the treasure box: "Is that what she thinks?"

Treasure Box shook his head: "I'm just guessing, what exactly Miss Xun thinks, I think San Niangzi should ask Miss Xun to find out."

Yan Cong'an frowned, he was very puzzled, why Xun Feibai felt that he was not suitable for her even though the two were engaged.Even though the engagement was an expedient measure at the time, I already liked her now, it's just that this person didn't know about it, why did he think that she would favor others.

What's more, if she cared about it that day, why didn't she ask, and decided that she didn't like her.

Yan Cong's mind is in a mess, why is love so tormenting.
