Twister

"Big sister... Big sister..."

Xiao Yuan yelled loudly and slapped on the wooden door, waiting for a long time, but Lan Qin still didn't come to answer the door.

"It's strange, big sister didn't make me wait that long before, what's going on today?" Xiao Yuan said to the man beside him.

"Perhaps Miss Lan has something to go out, don't be too anxious, let's wait a little longer!" The man said, and adjusted Xiao Yuan's skirt.

"Really? Then why don't we just stay here and wait for her to come back, it's so boring!" Xiao Yuan pursed her lips and kept yelling.

"Xiao Yuan, why are you so impatient? How can you fulfill your parents' instructions and invite Miss Lan to the capital as a guest?" He chuckled lightly.

"Yes! I almost forgot."

Only then did Xiao Yuan nod earnestly. This task was entrusted by his parents thousands of times, and he must complete it no matter what.

"I think our uncles and nephews are waiting for her to come back here, which happens to be a good opportunity to train your patience." Xiao Yuan's uncle Yang Shao said again.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan immediately sat down and complained to him, "Uncle, you have the most confidence in me. My parents just don't believe me, so they want you to come with me when they see you coming home." , if I'm really as good as you say, you don't have to travel all the way with me."

Xiao Yuan wrinkled the tip of his small nose, and spoke like an adult.

"Ha... you brat, do you think I'm superfluous? If that's the case, uncle should go back first. I've traveled through mountains and rivers for many months, and I haven't had a good night's sleep. I just want to dream about Duke Zhou."

He made a gesture to stand up, and was immediately pulled back by Xiao Yuan.

"Uncle, you obviously did it on purpose! Did you mean to make me go back and make a fool of yourself?"

"I don't dare. Your parents want me to bring you here because they are busy with business, and they don't trust you as a child to take the boat. To put it bluntly, I am just an accompanying guest, and you are the protagonist!"

Yang Shaoyang smiled and couldn't help rubbing his little head.

At this time, Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up suddenly, he saw Lan Qin who was slowly walking towards the wooden house with a bamboo basket.

"The big sister is here! Uncle, she is the big sister." As he spoke, he couldn't wait to run towards Lan Qin.When the distance got closer, Yang Shao witnessed Lan Qin's beautiful face and gentle temperament with his own eyes, and was stunned on the spot.

"Uncle, did you hear that? She is the eldest sister." Xiao Yuan pulled Yang Shao's clothes and pointed at Lan Qin.

Lan Qin nodded to Yang Shao first, then smiled at Xiao Yuan, "Why do you come here when you have time? Where are your parents?"

"My parents are very busy, so I will visit you instead of them." Xiao Yuan said proudly.

"you?"

"That's right! No one tells my sister not to visit me, I miss you!" said Xiao Yuanren, a little ghost.

"It's not that my sister doesn't want to see you, but—" She raised her eyebrows and saw the strange man next to her, so she asked, "This is..."

"He is my second uncle who is not talented, and he is also a famous doctor! Please give me more advice."

As soon as Xiao Yuan said this, Yang Shao immediately asked with both laughter and laughter: "Excuse me, Xiao Yuan, uncle, where am I 'not talented'?"

Xiao Yuan shrugged, "I don't know what 'not talented' means? I just know that every time a guest comes to our house, dad will always tell me that I am a 'little dog not talented'... I guess 'bucai' It should mean not loving money."

Then, he said triumphantly: "So, what I mean is that my second uncle is not greedy for money! Big sister, do you think I am very smart?"

Lan Qin finally couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Yuan, you are so cute, big sister hasn't been this happy for a long time."

"Really? My uncle is also very good at telling jokes! It will definitely make you laugh." Xiao Yuan said innocently.

"Xiao Yuan, you call me uncle, but her sister, don't you call me old? So, should uncle be her friend or elder?" Yang Shao raised the corners of his lips and asked Xiao Yuan with a smile Yuan.

Xiao Yuan was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his mouth, "That's right! I call you uncle, and her sister... so the eldest sister has to call you uncle too?"

Lan Qin covered her mouth and smiled lightly, her cheeks were reddened by the sun, as bright and charming as a rose, "These are just titles, it doesn't matter."

Yang Shao also laughed, not forgetting to remind Xiao Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, you forgot the purpose of coming here."

Xiao Yuan suddenly realized, and hurriedly grabbed Lan Qin's sleeve, and said: "Big sister, you must promise me one thing, otherwise I dare not go home." He almost forgot what his parents told him!

"Let's talk in the house if you have anything to do! It's almost noon, you can eat here!" Lan Qin led them into the house.

"It's great! I can stay here for dinner! Big sister, I want to eat golden tofu, braised carp..."

Xiao Yuan cried out excitedly, he hasn't eaten the dishes made by his big sister for a long time.

"Okay, okay," she said with a smile, and turned to ask Yang Shao, "I don't know what Mr. Yang means..." She asked politely.

"To have such an honor, of course I am willing, so I will trouble you." Yang Shaoshun was very happy, and why not do it if he could stay and have dinner with the beauty?

"Don't say that, just take it as a little favor from me!"

She said again: "Sit down, I'll go to the kitchen to cook. Xiao Yuan, do you know where to put the tea? Help my sister pour a glass of water for your uncle."

"What? Still serving him?" Xiao Yuan muttered.

"Hey! Don't forget, I'm your uncle." Yang Shao put on the airs of an elder.

"Okay! 'Not Cai', I'll make tea now." Xiao Yuan said solemnly.

Because of Xiao Yuan's childish talk and Yang Shao's joking and joking, the atmosphere of this lunch was relaxed and pleasant.

After the three of them had a full meal, Xiao Yuan finally revealed his purpose, leaving Lan Qin at a loss as to what to do.

"Xiao Yuan, please go back and tell your parents that it's not convenient for my sister to go there." She said cruelly.

In fact, she should have visited the Yang Mansion long ago, but I'm afraid that as soon as the news reached Shuo Aoshu's ears, she would have no reason to refuse to enter the Wang Mansion.

"Wow……"

Xiao Yuan burst into tears suddenly, and Lan Qin was startled by the huge volume, "I don't care... I don't care, if you don't come back with me, my parents won't want me..."

"Xiao Yuan—" she coaxed, dumbfounded, "No, you are your parents' sweetheart, and they won't want you."

"Yes! That's what they said, if you don't come to my house as a guest, they won't let me go back—" Xiao Yuan cried out of control.

Lan Qin sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to look at Yang Shao, asking him for help with his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I don't dare to intervene, lest I offend this little brat..." He winked at Xiao Yuan.

"But..." She was really embarrassed.

"Tomorrow is the [-]th anniversary of the opening of Longfeng Embroidery Workshop, so you can reluctantly agree to Xiaoyuan!" Yang Shao said.

Lan Qin hesitated for a while, and finally compromised, "Okay! But I can't stay too long."

"Big sister agreed! That's great!" Xiao Yuan broke through his tears and smiled.

Lan Qin twisted the tip of Xiao Yuan's nose, and said with a helpless smile: "I really have nothing to do with you!"

However, she seemed to have a bad premonition in her heart, wondering what would happen when she went out this time?

??

The "Longfeng Embroidery Workshop" is full of people, because today is the [-]th anniversary of the Dragon and Phoenix Embroidery Workshop!All embroidered and woven fabrics are sold at a special price, attracting many people to rush to buy them.Especially when I heard that the mysterious female hair embroidery master of the embroidery workshop will also show up, how can everyone miss the opportunity to witness the mysterious figure with their own eyes?

When Lan Qin stepped into the weaving workshop, she couldn't help being scared. In the past, she was also the focus of attention in Hangzhou, but at that time she was a broom star that made people curious.

The same eyes are concerned, but the meaning is completely different. At this time, people look at her eyes with admiration, but she still can't open her heart to face everyone.

"Big sister, what's wrong with you? Your hands are so cold!" Xiao Yuan held her hand, feeling her coldness.

"No...nothing?" Lan Qin smiled weakly.

"Miss Lan, are you really okay? Your face is so pale, do you need me to take your pulse?" Yang Shao also saw that something was wrong with her.

"Maybe it's been a long time since I've been in such a lively place, and I'm not used to it. Don't worry about me." She asked politely, "Where are Boss Yang and Mrs. Yang?" Perhaps she would feel more relaxed if she stayed away from these crowds.

"They are in the inner hall, please follow me."

Under the leadership of Yang Shao and Xiao Yuan, she quickly walked over the endless stream of people and came to the quiet inner hall behind.

As soon as they entered the inner hall, Yang Jun and his wife greeted her immediately, "Miss Lan, you are finally here!"

"I'm really sorry, I'm really afraid to ask you to take the trouble to invite me over."

"It's our honor to have you here. It seems that Xiao Yuan is really extraordinary!" Yang Jun patted his son on the shoulder.

"That goes without saying." Xiao Yuan's buttocks immediately turned up.

"You—" Yang Jun shook his head and laughed, "Then please go to the kitchen now and tell the cook to prepare dinner. We must treat Miss Lan well."

"Really? Big sister wants to stay for lunch?" Xiao Yuan said happily: "Okay, I'll go right away." After speaking, he bounced away.

"By the way, where is that... the young master surnamed Shuo?" Mrs. Yang asked after receiving her husband's beckoning gaze.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time." Her heart beat wildly at the mention of him.

Since that night of tenderness, he left Xiaofan Lake and never visited her again, maybe he was busy with business!But she really misses him, but she has nowhere to express her feelings.

"Really?" Mrs. Yang looked excited.

"Madam Yang, what's the matter?" She asked doubtfully.

"It's like this, my wife means... what do you think of my younger brother Yang Shao?" Yang Jun also spoke up for his younger brother.

In fact, he had already seen from the way Yang Shao looked at Lan Qin that he had a crush on Lan Qin.

"Young Master Yang?" Lan Qin looked at him and said naturally, "He is a good man."

"That's good. Yang Shao, take Miss Lan for a walk before lunch!" Yang Jun immediately looked for a chance to let them be alone.

"Okay, big brother." Yang Shao was overjoyed, and quickly said to Lan Qin: "Miss Lan, this way please."

"I..." Lan Qin felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't refuse the kindness, so he reluctantly agreed, "Then, I have to thank Mr. Yang."

Walking out of the back door of Yang Mansion is the busiest street in Gyeonggi. Apart from juggling troupes, there are all kinds of street vendors, which makes people dizzy.

Yang Shao walked with Lan Qin for a long time, seeing that she kept her head down and kept silent, so he asked, "Why, aren't you used to it?"

"I'm sorry, I want to go back." She always felt that there were eyes following her, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Alright, it's lunch time, it's time to go back." Seeing that the beauty didn't care about him at all, Yang Shao couldn't help sighing.

"Well! I'm so sorry, I'm really..." She said apologetically, but who could she tell her helplessness?

"It's okay, I will come to the capital often in the future, and I will get used to it after walking a few more times."

Yang Shao grabbed her hand abruptly, wanting to say something, suddenly, a rough force pulled him away, making him stagger a few steps.

"Ah—Master Yang..." Lan Qin was taken aback, and turned around to see the figure that made her dream.

"It's good for you, you went to the city without telling me!"

Shuo Aoshu squinted his eyes, his sanity began to collapse.

"I... I didn't mean to..." She turned her face away to avoid his scorching gaze.

"What a fickle and ungrateful woman." He sneered, the laughter was like a piercing wind and snow, almost freezing the blood in Lan Qin's body.

"Who are you? How can you speak to a woman in such a tone?" Yang Shao couldn't see it, and immediately stepped forward to confront Shuo Aoshu.

"Who are you? Don't care what tone I use to talk to my woman!" Shuo Aoshu said sarcastically.

He heard from Yu Kai that Lan Qin had come to the "Dragon and Phoenix Embroidery Workshop" in the capital, and attracted a large number of people. Man walks on the street.

What a pair of dogs and men!

"Your woman?!" Yang Shao looked at Lan Qin.

She quickly lowered her little head, looking helpless.

"Speak up! Why don't you say it? Tell me who I am to you!" Shuo Aoshu frantically grabbed her shoulders and forced her to raise her head to face him.

"Prince Shuo, you..." She frowned.

"You are the prince?" Yang Shao was very surprised.

However, it's no wonder that he has never seen Shuo Aoshu. The capital occupies a vast area, and there are so many dignitaries in it. How would he know who is who?

"Young Master Yang, he is Lord Shuo of Prince Shuoyu's residence." Lan Qin explained.

"Suo... Wangfu?" Now he was even more surprised!

He may not have heard the names of other princes, but he will not miss the words "Suo Ao Shu", because the people in the capital know that he is not only a first-class prince, but also the emperor's cousin. No one disrespects him, but very few people have seen his true face.

"Now that I know my identity, why don't you leave quickly?" Shuo Aoshu said in a deep voice, his eyes were like torches.

"Miss Lan..." Yang Shao turned to Lan Qin.

"It's okay, you go back first!" She said understandingly.

"This...Okay! Then I'll go first, don't forget to let me know if you have something to do." Yang Shao looked at Shuo Aoshu with fearful eyes, then turned and left. "Wait, please tell Boss Yang and Mrs. Yang for me." Lan Qin hurriedly called to him and asked him to convey it on his behalf.

"Don't worry, I will."

Yang Shao nodded, and walked away quickly under Shuo Aoshu's impatient gaze.

"Look at you two, you seem reluctant to leave!" Shuo Aoshuyi sneered, his eyes full of anger.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just came to Yang's house as a guest." Facing his sharp words, her face became even paler.

She understands that he hates her, but there's no need to embarrass the innocent Yang Shao!

"I invited you too, why didn't you agree? Could it be that man's few sweet words that fascinated you so much that even people followed him?"

His face was extremely serious, without any warmth.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just—"

"Forget it, I don't want to quarrel with you on the street. Go! Come home with me." Shuo Aoshu didn't give her a chance to explain, and clamped her wrist forcefully.

"I don't want to, I said I won't go!" She was so frightened that even her lips lost their color.

How could she enter the noble and prominent palace?She was afraid that she would pollute the nobility there, if she had known this, she shouldn't have left Xiaofan Lake!

"You can't help—"

Under Shuo Aoshu's insistence, she couldn't resist at all, so she was forcibly taken into Shuo Palace.

??

Li Shun kept pacing and roaring in the house, scaring every servant away.

Ever since Lan Qin's inexplicable disappearance, he was so annoyed that he vowed to find her.But after unsuccessfully looking for someone, his temper became more irritable than before. In the entire Li Mansion, only Mrs. Li dared to talk to him, and everyone else kept him at a respectful distance.

At this moment, Mrs. Li heard that he was losing his temper again, so she hurried to his room to have a look——

"I said Shun'er, what's wrong with you? If you continue like this, all the servants will be scared away." She just entered the door, and saw his angry look, so she persuaded him politely.

"Let's all go, I don't care at all, why don't they all follow that woman's example, and don't come back after they leave!" He was still full of anger and resentment.

"What? So you're still thinking about that woman?" She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Auntie, I'm not reconciled!"

"So what if you're not reconciled? That kind of moldy woman, why do you still want her? In my opinion, she'd better never come back, so that we can live a good life."

Madam Li's condensed eyes revealed a look of contempt.

"I don't care about these, I only care about my face." It is well known that he wants to marry Lan Qin, but now his bride has run away. Wouldn't he be ashamed and thrown into the Yangtze River?

He didn't understand that once Li Yun died, he would be able to take over everything in the Li family as a matter of course in the future, and he didn't dislike her anymore, so why would she be dissatisfied?

"You kid..."

Madam Li sighed heavily, "Do you think life is more important than face? That woman leaving is only good for you! Think about it!"

"Auntie, but..."

He didn't dare to say that the reason why he didn't give up was because he was bewitched by her beauty. Before he had a taste of her beauty, he refused to give up lightly.

"What happened?" Madam Li didn't understand.

"It's nothing, I have to catch her anyway!" He clenched his fists tightly, his face swollen with anger.

The problem is, he has sent a lot of people to investigate Lan Qin's whereabouts. Several months have passed, but there is still no news. Could it be that she just disappeared from the world?

"Hey! It's up to you. But as I said before, my Li Manor doesn't allow her to go any further." Mrs. Li has a deep-rooted hatred for Lan Qin. "By the way, haven't you been looking for her for a long time? There is no result yet?"

This question touched Li Shun's sore spot, he was so bored that he couldn't speak for a long time. "I will continue to work hard, I don't believe she has wings to fly!"

"I remember last time you said that she might have jumped off the cliff and sent people to find her body, but they found nothing, so you firmly believe that she is not dead. Maybe...she is really dead?"

Speaking of this, Madam Li was shocked and jumped up from her chair, "God! If she is really dead, will she turn into a ghost and seek revenge on us?"

"Auntie, you are thinking too much. I think she must not have jumped off the cliff, she was just playing tricks."

Li Shun was very sure, because someone tipped him later that he had seen a woman who looked very similar to her in "Chunxiangyuan".

"If that's the case, where will she hide?"

"I suspect that she has left Hangzhou." Li Shun speculated.

"But as soon as she leaves Hangzhou City, she doesn't know her place well, so where will she go? Could it be that she ran away with someone?" Mrs. Li's eyes widened suddenly, "That's definitely the case with flirtatious girls, seducing you is not enough, I'm probably going to seduce other men again, I really don't feel ashamed!"

After she mentioned this, Li Shun suddenly murmured to himself as if he had just woken up from a big dream: "Yes! Since she appeared in Chunxiangyuan, maybe a rich man took a fancy to her and took her away. !"

"Shun'er, what did you say?" Mrs. Li couldn't hear clearly, so she asked.

"Uh……"

He hesitated, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he was afraid that if his aunt knew about it, she would strongly oppose him marrying Lan Qin.

"Don't lie to me, tell me quickly!" Madam Li narrowed her eyes sharply.

"No...not!" He quickly denied.

"Really?" Although Madam Li was skeptical, she didn't bother to pursue further, and gave him an ultimatum, "Anyway, no matter if you find it or not, you have to settle down for me, don't make the mansion restless. In this way, I will drive you back to your hometown."

"Yes, auntie." Although he was not convinced, but now Li Mansion is still in charge of his auntie, he can only swallow his anger.

"Okay, I'm going back to my room."

After Mrs. Li left, Li Shun's eyes suddenly became cruel, and he refused to let go of everything about the Li family and Lan Qin!
