Chapter 36

When Xiao Zhige looks at Li Haiyun, Li Haiyun also looks at him quietly. The king of the Northern War was a military general in both appearance and manner. His eyes were curled and his mouth was turned down. It was easy to see that he had a bad temper.

He quietly clenched his fist and looked up at an Changqing. However, an Changqing sat on the side of the Northern Warlord and did not look at him.

Li Haiyun's heart shrank, and he thought anxiously: is his cousin blaming him? When they used to travel the lake and write poems, their cousins would watch him attentively

"Cousin Changqing..." Li Haiyun had some thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't help it. He immediately called him in dismay.

An Changqing was just about to introduce him to Xiao Zhige. Hearing the words, he answered him casually and said to Xiao Zhige, "Lord, this is my mother's nephew, the son of Li Ruqi, the Sheriff of Changyang County."

Xiao Zhige answered without salt and asked casually: "I heard that you are quite close to this young master Li?"

His tone is not multiple, just a black face without reason, people feel afraid, each thinking of the two people at the moment.

An Changyu lowered his head and turned up his mouth quietly. Li Haiyun was worried and retorted: "it's not close, it's just It's just For a moment he could not think of a suitable word, so he faltered.

"Just what?" Xiao Zhige saw that he was so eager to distinguish, his face was even more ugly, and his voice was faintly angry: "why didn't you finish what you said, young master Li?"

"Just friends. Don't get me wrong Li Haiyun didn't dare to see an Changqing. Cousin Changqing is now the princess of the Northern War. Since he has no ability to protect him, he can't drag him down with wishful thinking.

An Changqing, who hasn't put in a word for a long time, vaguely feels that something is wrong. He frowns and says strangely, "cousin Haiyun has been a guest in the prime minister's residence for a while, so I know you."

Xiao Zhige looked at him, but there was no flaw in his expression. An Changqing looks innocent and doesn't seem to understand Li Haiyun's words. Also can't see a glimmer of old love. People's sad or sentimental color. Xiao Zhige couldn't figure out whether he pretended to be too good or whether he really didn't care about his cousin.

If you go to see Li Haiyun again, Xiao Zhige's eyes are more disgusted. Slightly squinting, he waved his hand and said, "since I've met you, if you have nothing to do, please step down first."

"Then we won't disturb the prince and princess An Changyu sees him not polite ground chase guest, the facial expression slightly changed, but still respectfully bow hand to retreat. Li Haiyun looked up at an Changqing with an expression of desire to talk.

An Changqing's attention was all on Xiao Zhige, so he didn't receive his eyes.

After two people quit, an Changqing said strangely, "what's the matter with Wang Ye?"

I've been in a bad mood since just now.

Xiao Zhige also knows that he cares about himself. His mood is complicated for a moment. He wants to ask about him and Li Haiyun, but he is afraid that what he hears is not the answer he wants. He fought in the battlefield for many years, but never like now, like a coward.

Tightly pursed lips, Xiao Zhige light voice way: "nothing."

An Changqing looked at him sideways, always feeling that this person did not tell the truth. These days, he has a good understanding of Xiao Zhige's temperament. This person is a stuffy gourd, angry also won't say. It's just holding on.

An Changqing thought about it, and the present situation is not suitable for asking. I think I'll talk about it later.

***

but Li Haiyun was a little out of his mind when he went back to Nongxue pavilion with an Changyu. I haven't seen her for many years, but her appearance and temperament are even worse than before, which makes people unable to move their eyes at a glance.

He still remembers that when he first met each other, an Changqing was still a teenager. The eyebrows are delicate and picturesque, but the spleen is very warm and shy. When I first met him, I called him "cousin Haiyun".

At that time, Li Haiyun fell in love with the beautiful woman and often invited him to visit the lake and enjoy the scenery. He did not know how many poems he gave. Although an Changqing is shy and has never responded actively, her focus in her eyes can't be fake. But for later Later, without his consent, the family made an engagement for him. Cousin Changqing would not be so determined to accept the jade pendant he gave him. I also wish him and his fiancee Qinse and Heming love each other

"After all, it's predestined fate..."

Li Haiyun sighed and covered his sour nose with wine.

One side of an Xianya did not hear clearly, curiously came over: "cousin Haiyun, what do you say?"

Li Haiyun ignored her and just drowned his worries with wine. An Changyu fierce color looks at her one eye, an Xianya bitterly returns his position, dare not talk more.

"Cousin is going to give up like this?" An Changyu poured a glass of wine for him.

"What if you don't give up?" Li Haiyun sighed and said dejectedly, "it was I who defeated him first, and now I'm going north It's not bad for him. I can't hurt him any more. And today He didn't even look at me. He obviously resented me in his heart... "

An Changyu mouth slightly hook, continued: "perhaps before people, he dare not show it?" He lowered his voice and continued: "I heard that the Northern Warlord was very cruel in the affairs of the house and liked to torture people..."Li Haiyun's face turned white, and the wine in his glass shook out a little: "this..."

"if my cousin really wants to give up, he should make everything clear. At that time, although you returned to Changyang County under the pressure of your parents, you refused to get married. It's not that I'm sorry for him... Is it? "

at the last sound of gongs and drums, the red lanterns in the palace of the Northern Warlords were hung at the top

"don't be modest." Seeing that they were pushing around, an Changqing said with a smile, "all of them have made contributions. When you get the prize, you'll split it equally. "

seeing this, an Changqing understood that her sister actually liked the painting, but she was always considerate and didn't want Zhou Helan to be embarrassed, so she took the initiative to put it forward

he was about to speak, but he heard Zhou Helan say: "that's a coincidence. He also likes Mr. red ink very much. If Mr. danmo's real work is taken out, it will be equivalent to 100 taels of gold. If the princess and miss don't mind, can you change to Mr. danmo's original? The real work can be handed over to the young lady. He Lan only wants to borrow and copy one. "

after the end of the Lantern Festival, there will be a lantern festival. After several people had been sitting upstairs for so long, an Changqing proposed to go down and have a look. Yu's and Zhou's mother saw that there were many people below, and they were too lazy to join in the fun, so they sat upstairs. An Changqing and Xiao Zhige take an Xianyu down to enjoy the lamp<

there are a lot of people downstairs. An Xianyu likes girls' gadgets, so she has a look at them in the booth. An Changqing looked around and suddenly thought of something. He said to an Xianyu, "I'll go there with Wang Ye and ask Tiehu and Helan to protect you. They will meet in Songtao Pavilion before the time of the sea."<

an Xianyu answers the question cleverly. An Changqing tells her servant girl to take care of her, and then she pulls Xiao Zhige away<

Xiao Zhige frowned and said, "where are you going?"<

an Changqing gave him a sidelong glance, and his eyes were bright: "it seems that someone is in a bad mood. I have to try to coax him."<

Xiao Zhige, subconsciously trying to refute that he was not in a bad mood, was attracted by his "coax him". Unconsciously, he walked forward with him and asked in a dumb voice, "how can I coax him?"<

an Changqing leads him to a mask stall and selects two colorful bird masks. After taking them, he hands them to Xiao Zhige: "you take them, too."<

the stall owner is not young, with sharp eyes and a grin: "are you that? This mask is just right! The picture above is wild geese! It's a perfect pair<

an Changqing was glad to hear that, gave him the silver and took Xiao Zhige to the moat<

the river is full of Lantern sellers. Masked men and women holding lanterns write their wishes carefully, and then release them to the river. Although Xiao Zhige has never experienced such an occasion, he knows that this is where young men and women convey their feelings. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many men and women use this little lantern to tell stories."What are you doing here?" he said

An Changqing bought a very unique lamp for carp playing with lotus, and gave him pen and paper. Although the delicate face is blocked by the mask, you can still see the bright eyes: "make a wish. It's said that making a wish on this day will work well. "

Xiao Zhige's eyes were deep: "here, what wish do you want to make?"

An Changqing shook his head and urged him to write quickly: "it will not work if you say it."

Xiao Zhige gathered his eyes and wrote a few words on the paper. When the two of them finished writing, they rolled up the paper and put it into the lamp. An Changqing took the lamp to the river and put it down, with a smile in her voice: "it will be effective."

"Well." Xiao Zhige thought that he didn't belong to the land, but his eyes followed the lantern which was drifting away slowly.

Does the wish in that lamp have something to do with Li Haiyun?

Or It's about him.

As the Adam's apple rolled a few times, Xiao Zhige closed his eyes and finally couldn't resist the urge to know the truth. He strode forward, leaned over an Changqing's ear and said, "you're waiting for me here. I suddenly remember something. I'll go back."

After that, without waiting for an Changqing to recover, he strode away with him. An Changqing returned to call him, but saw that his back had melted into the crowd, and could not tell which was him.

At the same time, an Changyu, who has been quietly following, patted Li Haiyun on the shoulder and looked at an Changqing, who was left alone, said: "cousin, go. If you have anything to say, I'll keep a lookout for you. "
