But what she cares about is indifferent to Yuanxiu.If she knew what Li Lianxiang was thinking and caring about, she would probably laugh.

"Come up." Yuanxiu took two steps, but she didn't hear the footsteps following her. She turned her head to look at Li Lianxiang, this cousin who hadn't seen her for many years and had changed a lot. "What’s wrong with you?"

Li Lianxiang lifted the corner of his skirt and stepped on a higher step with his toes, but his body did not move at all, "Cousin."

"Ok?"

She was looking at Yuanxiu, and the words she wanted to say rolled back and forth several times in her throat, and finally blurted out, "Is the one over there, my cousin's husband?"

"Let's just count it." After Yuan Xiu finished speaking, there was a slight suspicion between her brows, "You look a little strange."

"No, it's just a little emotional."

That cousin who couldn't even touch a man, who she thought was going to die alone, was going to get married before her. The world is always so strange.I still remember that when she was a child, she once told her that she should find her husband first, but now she...

Li Lianxiang smiled ironically, "It's okay, my sister will come right away."

"Who's here, Xiuxiu—" the strange man in the room called Yuanxiu with a drawn out voice, before he finished speaking, he met Li Lianxiang who had just walked in from outside the room.Even if he flirts indoors, it doesn't mean he has no scruples in front of people he doesn't know.

Jiuqing quickly closed her mouth and sat up straight.His face was full of astonishment, "Who is this girl? I have never seen this girl in Yuan Mansion before."

"This is my cousin, and she is also the best among younger sisters. Although she is also from Daming Prefecture, she does not live in Yongding County with us, but from Ying County next door. My cousin, but The only daughter of the county magistrate of Ying County is a distinguished guest of our Yuan Mansion." Yuan Xiu brewed a cup of light tea and put it on the table, "You must be tired after a long journey. Ying County is more than [-] miles away from Yongding County. , It must have taken a lot of time for you to come here, drink some tea to moisten your mouth."

Li Lianxiang took it and lowered his head to smell it.She has seen a lot of tea, so it is easy to distinguish the type, "tea, it is good tea. Looking at the color and fragrance, could it be Junshan Silver Needle?" As she spoke, her brows furrowed, "This kind of Junshan Silver needles are generally not circulated in the market, and after being planted in Lingnan, they will be sent to Kyoto as a tribute. How did my cousin have them at home?"

"There is nothing money can't buy." Yuanxiu looked at Li Lianxiang and said slowly, "Since my cousin can taste it at one bite, she must be very familiar with it. It can be seen that the situation is not as you said."

These words left Li Lianxiang speechless. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Jiuqing quickly resorted to his gag skills and continued.

"Miss Biao has such a powerful mouth. I only tasted something after drinking the whole glass. When I took the first bite, I couldn't taste anything except bitterness." Jiuqing clapped her hands twice, her face full Appreciate, "But I like to drink, and I can taste the taste of each wine after a sip. For me, tea is still a bit bland after all."

"I don't know if Miss Biao drinks or not, maybe I'm lucky enough to have a wine tasting with you?" Jiuqing said casually, these were his usual jokes, but he didn't take it seriously.Usually those partners are either girls who admire him, or friends who share the same taste, and they usually hit it off right away, but who knows——

"I do not drink."

——The rejection is crisp and sharp.

"That's it..." Jiuqing scratched her head in embarrassment. This young lady was a little too unkind and seemed difficult to get along with.Fortunately, her cousin is very different from her, she is a person with a cold face and a warm heart, "Miss Cousin came from a long way, is it for my marriage with Axiu?"

Li Lianxiang nodded.

"My father means to stay here for ten days, and then he will send someone to pick him up." When he said this, a haze flashed across Li Lianxiang's face, his pupils were dimmed, and he seemed a little unhappy.

Yuanxiu was facing her sideways, unable to see the expression on her face clearly, but Jiuqing on the bed could see it clearly.

"Cousin, congratulations."

Jiuqing leaned against the wall, tilting her head to look at the two sisters over there.I don't know if it's his illusion, but the atmosphere between these two people is a bit strange, not like ordinary sisters.It's more about the feeling conveyed by the cousin, it seems that there is more alienation and less intimacy.

"How is Auntie?"

"My mother...she's fine." Li Lianxiang hesitated for a while before answering, and quickly replied, "My mother always misses you and keeps talking about you. I always have doubts. Maybe my cousin was born to my mother, and we were the wrong ones. I remember asking my mother when I was a child, and she made fun of me."

"You are two years younger than me, and you are not the same size. How can you hold me wrong?" Yuan Xiu smiled, pointing to Jiuqing who was on the bed looking at the two of them, and said, "You are as old as him, I don't know you two Who is older and who is younger?"

Li Lianxiang replied, "I was born in July."

Jiuqing bent her eyes, looked at the two with a smile, made a bow on the bed, and bowed slightly, "Hi two sisters, my younger brother is polite."

Both of them were taken aback, but Yuanxiu, who had been in contact with Jiuqing for a while, knew the person in front of him somewhat, and quickly realized it.

Unexpectedly, this future cousin-in-law is so much younger than her cousin, even a few months younger than her.Li Lianxiang was a little surprised. Can such a young person really understand what kind of situation he puts his future in?

"Don't pay attention to him, and let him get angry." Jiuqing said again, "I will buy some things for my uncle to take back after a while, it's my heart."

"Father, he doesn't need anything." When he said this, even Yuan Xiu could hear the blunt tone of his voice, and gave her a strange look. "What's the matter, uncle?"

Yuan Xiu raised his heart a bit, and saw Li Lianxiang shaking his head, and then fell back to the original place.Thinking about it, a small county is no bigger than a county magistrate. Unless the officials in the mansion come down for routine inspections, he is the one who decides the whole place.But I haven't heard Dad say that any official master is coming, so it's no big deal if I think about it.

"Have you seen my father? He misses you very much."

Li Lianxiang shook his head, "I haven't met him yet, I'm going to meet him right away." After saying goodbye to the two of them, he left in a hurry.

Yuanxiu looked at her back, and then at Jiuqing.

"Xiuxiu, your cousin looks a little strange." Jiuqing held her chin and said, "Just now, she seemed hesitant to speak, as if there was something unspeakable, do you know?"

"What do you think of me, who doesn't leave the gate without leaving the gate?" Yuan Xiu took the teacup back, touched the cool porcelain wall with her fingers, and stroked it.When he said this, he seemed to have such a feeling, "Tomorrow I will let Hongyan take care of you."

"Why? Xiuxiu, are you going to abandon me?" Jiuqing looked like he was about to cry if Yuan Xiu nodded, and Yuan Xiu's eyelids twitched.

"Yes."

"Who are you going to have fun with?"

"Li Lianxiang."

"Li Lianxiang is again... that Miss Cousin?"

"is her."

"Okay, then you guys have fun, I will let sister Hongyan take care of it, and I won't cause her any trouble." Jiuqing said with an aggrieved expression.

Although he has a pretty and fair face, but——

"A dignified man, how can you act like a little girl. Tomorrow, I'm just going to the silk and satin factory with Lian Xiang. You just lie down obediently." After speaking, Yuan Xiu seemed to hate iron for being weak, and walked away in a flash , leaving Jiuqing who was sitting on the bed smiling wryly again and again.

"Then if it's not a man, Xiuxiu..." Jiuqing touched the clothes on his body, and sighed with some melancholy when thinking of his identity.

She turned over and got off the bed, walked to the door, pushed open a crack, and watched Yuanxiu, who was drifting away, go around the small courtyard, feeling a little heavy in her heart.

Chapter 26

It was already late at night, and it was the time of Chou, Yuan Mansion rested early and quietly.Only the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops and the rustling of leaves, even the songbirds have fallen asleep.

With such a dark moon and high wind, it is suitable for some night walkers to come and go.

A figure whizzed past the eaves and landed silently.Dressed in black, he blended into the night.He dodged extremely fast, jumped twice, and had already jumped into a courtyard.Sticking to the outside of the door and waiting for a while, he pushed open the door without a sound, and went in very lightly.

The doors and windows of the room were closed, and it was slightly warmer than the chilly late night outside. The table was still lit with faint incense, and the heavy breathing of the inner room could be heard.

The man in black stood quietly for a while, and then slowly walked into the back room when he saw that there was no movement.There was a simple foldable recliner outside, and a maid was lying on it, sleeping soundly covered with a small quilt.
