It was getting late. In the minglan courtyard of Zhan yunjiao, the second girl in zhanfu, the lights were bright, and the finely dressed girls gathered around and talked and laughed constantly.
Today is Zhan yunjiao's 16th birthday. She is the one who is held and coaxed by the public, but a round faced little girl in Green said something very bad——
"By the way, why haven't you seen Miss Xu from the town government come at this time? The two families are so close, and Miss Xu and miss Zhan are very friendly. It's supposed to be here long ago?"
The smile on Zhan yunjiao's lips stagnated for a moment.
If you make friends with Xu Mingyi, naturally, she used to let it out for a moment of face, but the Liu girl who spoke didn't like her in the past. This time, she would invite each other to take into account the relationship between the two families.
But the other party didn't want to face. At this time, she said such things at her birthday party that made her embarrassed.
I think it must be seeing her father's promotion recently. Are you jealous?
Thinking like this, Zhan yunjiao not only didn't get angry, but was in a better mood. She sighed slightly and said, "hasn't sister Liu heard that sister Xu was poisoned a few days ago, and now her body hasn't really been well maintained. It's not suitable to go out and walk frequently."
The Liu girl suddenly said, "I forgot about it."
Zhan yunjiao picked up a cup of tea and ate it.
But the other party seemed to be very curious and asked, "Miss Xu didn't come, and the gift must have been delivered. I don't know what good thing Miss Xu gave sister Zhan? Can we see it too?"
Who knows that Miss Xu of the town government is rich.
But she came early today and has been listening carefully. Those people who didn't arrive at the ceremony didn't have a Xu girl in the name reported by the servant girl of minglan hospital.
Zhan yunjiao could not resist the impulse to throw the tea in her hand at each other.
Xu Mingyi didn't know what happened this year. After receiving her invitation, people didn't come normally, and the gift was never sent!
Have you forgotten?
Xu Mingyi is the only girl in the town government. If she forgets such small things, she forgets them. No one will blame anything, but she will be ridiculed and belittled because of this "small thing"!
Seeing more and more girls looking at themselves, Zhan yunjiao smiled reluctantly.
Just about to say something to save her face, a servant girl came in and preached, "second girl, Miss Xu is here."
Zhan yunjiao was stunned when she heard the speech.
"Yes... Sister Xu?" she tried to prove it calmly.
The little servant girl smiled and nodded.
Zhan yunjiao quickly put down the tea, "please come in."
While talking, he got up from his chair and welcomed him out.
Xu Mingyi came in with ah Kui.
"Sister Xu, you haven't taken care of yourself yet. Why did you come in person?" Zhan yunjiao intimately came forward and took the girl's arm.
Ah Kui handed the brocade box to the servant girl. Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "it happened that there was nothing wrong, so I came to join the fun."
This is not ugly, but it can't be called how nice.
She doesn't like the two girls of the Zhan family. Even if she plays on the occasion, she just wants one to live well. If she shows too close, it will appear abnormal.
Zhan yunjiao doesn't mind.
In the end, Xu Mingyi always looks like this.
She was very happy that the other party could come today.
At this time, she didn't go to see the Liu girl and knew how the other party looked.
"Sister Xu, sit down."
Zhan yunjiao smiled and took Xu Mingyi to sit down and talk.
Many girls also gathered around.
Xu Mingyi is eating tea and dealing with the conversation of the girls.
For a moment, it seemed that she was the master of the birthday banquet.
Even if she doesn't like Zhan yunjiao, it's obviously not kind enough to come here to steal the limelight.
Besides, she has more important things to do.
"What you say is, I'll go out for a walk." Xu Mingyi put down the tea and said with a smile.
Zhan yunjiao got up and said, "shall I go to the garden with sister Xu to enjoy the flowers?"
"No need," said Xu Mingyi with a smile on his face. "I'll get some air and come back."
Zhan yunjiao nodded knowingly, "then I'll ask the servant girl to lead sister Xu."
Then he called his personal servant girl over.
Xu Mingyi did not refuse.
After all, she really didn't know where Zhan's garden was.
Looking at Xu Mingyi out of the yard, Zhan yunjiao called another servant girl and quietly said, "go to the eldest childe's yard and tell him that Miss Xu is coming. At this time, she went to the garden alone..."
The servant girl whispered.
Zhan yunjiao had a smile in her eyes.
She knows that her brother likes Xu Mingyi, although it may not be the real kind.
After all, she doesn't really like Xu Mingyi, but who makes the other party a miss of the town government?
Although in her heart, Xu Mingyi's charming person is not worthy of her excellent brother everywhere, if the brother can really marry Xu Mingyi, it will certainly benefit them a lot in occupying the family. At that time, even her marriage will benefit from it - at present, she doesn't want to take a look at the families that propose marriage.
She doesn't want to marry someone casually like her eldest sister.
……
The cool wind was blowing in the garden. Ah Kui looked around and wondered.
She has never seen such a small garden before. Is it really a garden? It's not as big as the small garden in their Xi garden.
And it was dark all around. There were only two lanterns hanging in one Pavilion.
Zhan's family is really poor.
Ah Kui sighed heartily at the bottom of her heart.
And where is there a good place to stroll in such a garden? I'm afraid there's another plan for the girl to come out alone?
The little girl guessed in combination with recent events.
Xu Mingyi walked slowly.
If she guessed right, Zhan Yunzhu must have learned that she came to Zhan's house.
Since Liu Yizhi's death, Zhan Yunzhu has become more careful in his actions and words in order to cover up his intentions. However, in this way, what he is trying to do must be delayed and blocked. Today, she takes the initiative to occupy the house. For him, there is no doubt that it is a good opportunity to maintain "feelings" with the township government.
She bet that he would come.
And it must come very soon.
After all, the garden is so small that she can't walk around for long.
Sure enough, soon footsteps came into my ears.
In this way, he walked more than ten steps. At the fork of a path, a young man with white moon appeared in front of Xu Mingyi.
"Brother Zhan?"
In the moonlight, the girl's face was just surprised.
Zhan Yunzhu had a strong smile on her lips and looked at her and said, "just now Jiao Jiao said that you came to celebrate her birthday and went for a walk in the garden alone. I came to have a look. I really met her."
Ah Kui subconsciously said in the bottom of her heart - it's difficult to miss such a small garden, isn't it?
Looking at the person in front of him, Xu Mingyi smiled in his eyes.
When I came to see her, I said I came to see her.
He always knows when to tell the truth without concealment, which makes people feel confident and magnanimous.
That's why she didn't realize that he would lie before.
Fortunately, when it comes to cheating, she is not bad now.
"Speaking of it, I just want to ask brother Zhan -"
