Xiao Xingyu walked over in a daze, and Duanmuci said again: "Fourth brother saved me and brother Xiting, Duanmuci is grateful for his great kindness, and fourth brother is already honorable, Duanmuci would like to invite four brothers My elder brother is also my witness, my parents are gone, and I have no other relatives, so you just sit in the high hall and let Brother Xiting and I thank you very much."

Hearing that Yan Nangui also urged: "Since that's the case, then sit down, there must be a high hall for the bride."

Seeing this, Xiao Xingyu had no choice but to sit down, but he pulled Xie Rulan over. He was sitting, and Xie Rulan was standing beside him. Xiao Xingyu was also very satisfied, wondering when it would be his turn for the newcomer to worship. What about Xie Rulan?

When they were ready, the Xi Po let out a loud and long drink, and said, "The bride and groom bow to heaven and earth!"

Duanmuci and Xiting looked at each other, turned around and knelt on the futon, and bowed to the door.

The two stood up, and the Xi Po sang again: "Second worship to the high hall!"

Naturally, he worshiped obediently, and Yan Nangui's face was also tinged with joy, but Xiao Xingyu knew that he was ashamed, but subconsciously grabbed Xie Rulan's clothes.In the midst of the house servants applauding in unison, Xie Rulan felt the hem of the clothes was heavy, she lowered her head slightly and asked in Xiao Xingyu's ear, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Xingyu didn't expect Xie Rulan to be so sensitive, thought for a while, and said nonsense: "It's nothing, you, you be careful."

Xie Rulan subconsciously glanced at Yannangui, nodded and understood at the time, and quickly stood up straight.Xiao Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got away with it.

The second salute is over, and the rest is the husband and wife saluting each other, but just as Grandma Xi was about to shout out those words, there was a loud yelling from outside the door.

"Stay on!"

The voice sounded like that of an elderly woman, and as expected, the servants consciously parted ways, and several people walked in from outside the house, the two walking in front were a young and heroic woman supporting the old lady.

Duanmuci lifted up the tulle hijab and recognized the old lady at a glance.

"Patriarch! Why are you here?"

Hearing Duanmu Ci's attitude towards the old lady was very respectful, Yan Nangui asked, "Who is this?"

Duanmuci hurriedly explained: "Master! This is the patriarch grandma of my Duanmu family."

The patriarch's grandmother was a little surprised when she saw Yan Nangui, but she revealed Yan Nangui's identity at a glance, "You are the person invited by the two sisters Duanmu Liruo? Duanmu Liruo's enemy?"

Yan Nangui just cast her a glance, and sat upright on the high hall, disdainfully said: "So what? Could it be that the patriarch grandma is here to break up the couple? I can warn you, I, Yannan If you want them to get married, they must get married today! Otherwise, I will wash the wedding hall with blood, so that you will come and leave!"

While she was speaking, the green snake on her wrist suddenly woke up, made a hissing sound, and quickly jumped onto her shoulder, as if it was about to jump on the other people and bite them to death in the next moment.

The patriarch's grandma's expression became ugly instantly, but the heroic young woman beside her approached her ear and said a few words at this moment. The old lady frowned, her expression became serious, and she leaned on a cane and said: " I'm not here to prevent Duanmu Ci from getting married."

"Then what are you here for?"

Yan Nangui raised his chin and said unceremoniously: "If you have nothing to do, you can leave quickly. If you want to stay as a guest, you can feel free. If you have something to say, finish quickly. I'm still waiting for them to get married!"

The patriarch's grandma seemed to have heard what the woman beside her said, and she didn't express any dissatisfaction with Yan Nangui, she just turned her head and called Ah Ci.Duanmu Ci also bowed his knees respectfully to her, and replied: "Grandma Patriarch, Ah Ci forgot to invite you here for a wedding in a hurry, but what are you doing here now?"

The patriarch's grandma was not angry at all, she just asked, "Do you still remember your grandma's last words?"

Duanmu said: "Of course I remember it. Grandma said that after I got married when I was 20 years old, I will be in charge of the Duanmu family."

The grandma of the patriarch nodded, then turned her head to signal, and the person behind brought a brocade box, she said: "This is what your grandma left with the old man, except for 70% of the family property in your hand, what is inside is yours. The rest of the family has full rights, about [-] shops, and some gold mines with title deeds scattered all over the place."

Duanmu Ci's eyes widened slightly, "This... the patriarch's grandma came here on purpose today to return these to Ah Ci?"

The grandma of the patriarch laughed, but waved for someone to take the brocade box back, and she said: "I originally wanted to return these things to you when you were married today, but your two aunts are auspicious today." The Duanmu Mansion was completely surrounded. But just now, when I learned that your two aunts failed to seek power, they were kicked out, and you were going to get married again, so I naturally came over, but..."

She paused, looked at Xiting who was wearing the groom's attire, and said, "Your aunt Duanmu Liruo added another rule half a year ago, do you remember?"

Duanmuci's face suddenly became ugly, and the patriarch's grandmother continued: "If you marry someone else, all these things will be handed over to you. If you don't get the [-]% of the old family's property, the Duanmu family will also expel you from the mansion!"

"Grandma patriarch, what do you mean!?"

Duanmu asked with a serious face: "So you are going to drive us out of Duanmu's house today?"

The patriarch's grandma leaned on her crutches, and made a heavy sound on the ground, and replied: "Exactly."

"It's a good one to be expelled from the mansion!" Yan Nangui suddenly stood up, sneering again and again: "In this case, then Xiting, Ah Ci, let's go now, and before we leave, we will burn down this Duanmu house, you won't get it , no one else can imagine it!"

"and many more!"

All of a sudden, things got messed up again, and it was all because of Duanmu Liruo's mischief. He only harmed people during his lifetime, and he would harm others after death.Xiao Xingyu walked out holding his forehead, and persuaded between the two parties: "You guys have something to say! How about listening to me to be fair first?"

Knowing that he was doing it for the good of Duanmu and Ci, Yannangui naturally calmed down and let him have something to say, but the grandma of the patriarch was different, she squinted at Xiao Xingyu, and said unceremoniously: "You are Whoever is not from Duanmu's family, it's useless to say anything here!"

Xiao Xingyu was choked, thinking he should speak clearly.

He said: "Isn't this Duanmu patriarch, I just ask a question, it's not too late to drive away after you listen to me."

The patriarch's grandma was silent for a while, as she acquiesced, Xiao Xingyu then said: "Patriarch Duanmu, this junior asks you, is Duanmu Liruo the patriarch of her branch of Duanmu Ci?"

The patriarch's grandmother suddenly frowned, and after a while she replied in a cold voice: "No!"

Xiao Xingyu smiled, "If not, then why would she drive the current Patriarch of the Duanmu family out of the mansion? Patriarch Duanmu, could it be that Duanmu Liruo, who is alone in your clan, is more dignified than Duanmu Ci?" Does the words of the Patriarch carry more weight?"

"What the hell do you mean?"

The patriarch's grandma seemed to be angry, Xiao Xingyu said: "I'm just telling the truth, if Duanmuli is not the head of the family, and secondly, she doesn't have the right to speak of the Duanmu family, why should she add that rule, why should she drive people out of the house go?"

"You mean, because she is not the head of the family, Duanmu Liruo's words are invalid?"

Xiao Xingyu shrugged and asked, "Isn't it?"

The patriarch's grandmother was very angry, but she was speechless to refute. At this time, the young woman beside her opened her mouth and said: "Grandma, the affairs of the Ah Ci family are complicated, but what this young master said is not unreasonable." Aunt Liruo is indeed not the head of the family, so she is not qualified to set that rule, so grandma, Ah Ci deserves all the family wealth, and we shouldn't drive her away."

"Cousin..."

Duanmuci stared at the woman in a daze, the patriarch's grandmother could see what the woman said, thought for a while, and finally left alone, and said irritably: "Forget it, let them handle their family affairs by themselves." Come on, I am too lazy to care about it!"

So the people behind helped the old lady to leave, but the young woman stayed behind, smiled at Duanmuci and Xiting, then asked someone to bring up the brocade box, and congratulated the two of them: "Congratulations My younger sister and the butler of Xiting finally got married, my cousin didn't bring any gifts, these things originally belonged to you, and I just give them back to you today, Ah Ci, take them."

Duanmuci was stunned for a while, it was Xiting who reminded her to react, and thanked the woman with tears in her eyes: "Thank you cousin..." She turned back to look at Xiao Xingyu as she spoke, and said with some embarrassment: "Thank you fourth brother..."

Xiao Xingyu waved his hands, looked at Duanmuci's cousin, and thought that there were still bright-eyed people in Duanmu's family.Seeing that Yan Nangui's expression became more and more impatient, he reminded him: "Stop saying thank you, you guys should hurry up and finish your worship."

Duanmu Ci immediately reacted, handed the brocade box to the girl who was close to him, then wiped his eyes, pursed his lips and forced a smile: "Let's continue to pay homage."

"Master, sit down."

Xiting also persuaded Yan Nan to return, and the wedding banquet was able to continue.At this moment, the husband and wife worshiped each other smoothly. After Duanmu Ci and Xi Ting retreated from the banquet and returned to the room hand in hand, the stone in Xiao Xingyu's heart fell to the ground. Duanmu Ci's cousin did not know when. left.

There were not many people at the banquet, but the girls and servants in Duanmu Cifu were all happy for them.

Before leaving the banquet, seeing Yan Nangui watching the moon and sighing in the courtyard, he seemed to miss the old man, Xiao Xingyu didn't bother him, instead he secretly dragged Xie Rulan out of Duanmu Mansion.

Xie Rulan was taken to the street by him. She had been busy for a long time today, but she was relieved. She asked him puzzledly, "You've been out of the limelight today, and you finally calmed down. Where are you going?"

"You also think I'm handsome today, don't you?" Xiao Xingyu paused, looking at Xie Rulan with shining eyes, full of expectation.

Xie Rulan laughed and said, "You still want others to praise you? Do you know how dangerous it is today? Don't be so reckless next time."

Although it was a lecture, Xiao Xingyu's heart was warm, he smiled and said: "I know you are worried about me, you must have me in your heart!"

On the contrary, what Xie Rulan said was stiff, and he said: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Xiao Xingyu continued consciously: "I mean, you must have such a good friend as me in your heart! Don't you?"

The smile on Xie Rulan's face receded, as if he was a little embarrassed, but his wrist tightened suddenly, and Xiao Xingyu led him forward. Xie Rulan had to follow his steps and asked him where he was going.

Xiao Xingyu explained while walking ahead: "You know today is the fifteenth day, there is a River Lantern Festival here in Yunzhou, you see there are so many people on the street, how can we not come out to join in the fun... Come on, come on ! Let’s also go to the bridge to see the river lanterns!”

"What's so good about the river lantern..."

Even though he said so, Xie Rulan followed Xiao Xingyu to the bridge. The street was still crowded with people, both adults and children. There were fireworks everywhere, and the river was full of colorful lanterns, which was very beautiful.

Xie Rulan's mood was also gradually rendered by the smiles of the people around her. Unknowingly, she pursed her lips and laughed. Xiao Xingyu bought two lotus river lanterns from a small stall on the side, and he still held some things in his hands. Walking towards Xie Rulan, she said with a bright smile on her face: "Xie Ning, look!"

Xie Rulan took the lotus river lantern and an ink-stained writing brush from him inexplicably, and asked him, "What is this for?"

Xiao Xingyu said with a smile: "I heard that if you write your wish on the lantern, and then put the lantern into the river, the river god will help you realize your wish when you see it. If you have any wish, write it down quickly Bar!"

Xie Rulan couldn't help wrinkling her nose, "Do you believe such naive words?"

Xiao Xingyu smiled and said: "I believe it! Why don't you believe it?"

He didn't believe it before, but until he was reborn, he no longer felt that ghosts and gods were nonsense, and he knew that Xie Rulan had worried about him for a long time today, and wanted to take him out to relax and have fun.

Xie Rulan thought for a long time, but the tip of the pen didn't even move. Xiao Xingyu simply grabbed the brush, first wrote a line quickly on the lotus lantern, and then hid it from Xie Rulan's eyes, and urged him to say: : "I've written it all, you should write it quickly."

Seeing his expression that if you don't write, I'm going to make trouble, Xie Rulan had no choice but to take the brush again, thought for a while, and wrote a line on the lotus lantern, but didn't let Xiao Xingyu read it.Xiao Xingyu was not in a hurry, he returned the brush to the stall owner, and then hurriedly dragged Xie Rulan to the river bed.

Carefully put the lotus lantern into the river, watching it slowly drift away, Xiao Xingyu was still mumbling about something with his hands clasped together, Xie Rulan became more and more helpless, shaking his head and laughing.

After the river lantern gradually drifted away, Xiao Xingyu asked Xie Rulan what he wrote on the lantern, and Xie Rulan replied without thinking, "I just wrote that the weather is good and the world is peaceful."

Hearing this, Xiao Xingyu showed obvious depression on his face, "Why did you write this? Didn't you make any wish for yourself?"

He actually wanted to know what Xie Rulan wanted, and he also wanted to do something for Xie Rulan.

Xie Rulan frowned slightly and said, "I don't have any wishes... What about you, what did you write?"

Xiao Xingyu flattened his mouth and said, "It won't work if you say it."

"Oh, then I won't ask..."

"Don't!" Xiao Xingyu hurriedly approached Xie Rulan. At this time, the two were still squatting by the river. Xiao Xingyu whispered depressedly in Xie Rulan's ear: "I just tell you in a low voice!"

I don't know if it was illuminated by the river lantern, Xiao Xingyu's face was a little suspiciously pink, he looked at Xie Rulan and said in a low voice: "I also wrote a wish, I hope that my sweetheart can be happy and safe all his life, happy forever, Carefree!"

"Heart... sweetheart?"

Xie Rulan didn't know why he felt very uncomfortable when he heard these words. He resisted the urge to frown, but still couldn't help asking Xiao Xingyu: "Do you have a sweetheart?"

Xiao Xingyu smiled and nodded at him, "Yes." Then he looked at him intently, and asked him with sparkling eyes: "What about you, do you have a sweetheart?"

Xie Rulan fell silent inexplicably, and after a while, she stood up with a sullen face, looked at the lotus river lantern floating far away, and murmured: "No..."

He seemed unhappy... Xiao Xingyu just wanted to take the opportunity to know if Xie Rulan had someone else he liked, but it seemed that there was none, and Xie Rulan seemed to have thought of something unhappy.

Xiao Xingyu blamed himself for being mean again, pursed his lips and stood up, dryly said with a smile: "Not now, but in the future, you are so good-looking, there must be many people who like you..."

Xie Rulan, however, became more and more unhappy the more he listened, he didn't say anything, he just turned around and left, Xiao Xingyu hurriedly followed him, the two were walking on the crowded street, Xiao Xingyu followed Xie Rulan anxiously Ask: "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Xie Rulan shook her head lightly, but her eyes were filled with disappointment. Seeing him like this, Xiao Xingyu's heart ached to death, but she didn't know what he was sad about, so she couldn't ask. Xie Rulan would definitely not tell him. What can I do...

Suddenly something came out of the corner of his eyes, Xiao Xingyu's eyes lit up, he grabbed Xie Rulan's arm and said: "Xie Ning, wait for me here for a while, I'll be right back!"

Just as Xie Rulan was about to ask him where he was going, the man ran away, Xie Rulan followed suspiciously, and when he found Xiao Xingyu in the crowd, he was picking candied haws on a stick full of candied haws in front of a vendor...

Xie Rulan was speechless and stood there waiting for him.

As soon as Xiao Xingyu turned around, he saw Xie Rulan, and directly put the candied haws in Xie Rulan's hand, and said: "Xie Ning, my mother told me before that when you are unhappy, eat some candy, and you will feel better." Already. Here, here you go, eat quickly!"

Xie Rulan held the bunch of bright red candied haws covered in sugar juice in her hand, and said, "You bought it for me?"

Xiao Xingyu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, eat quickly!"

Xie Rulan's heart was a little complicated, she didn't know whether to laugh or what, after a long while she said helplessly: "The core of the candied haws is made of hawthorn seeds, and it is also sour."

"...Ah? Is that so?"

Xiao Xingyu's eyes widened, and Xie Rulan's appearance finally made Xie Rulan burst into laughter, and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding, but I'm not a kid anymore, I don't need to eat candied haws..."

Seeing him smile, Xiao Xingyu was relieved, but Xie Rulan suddenly walked to the side, Xiao Xingyu caught up with him, but saw Xie Rulan give the candied haws in his hand to a crying little girl on the side of the road The girl is still coaxing her carefully.

The little girl with two buns was holding candied haws, and she was coaxed by her beautiful brother who looked like a fairy. She soon stopped crying, but Xiao Xingyu was so jealous that she felt sour. When she walked over, Xie Rulan followed He explained.

"I saw her crying on the side of the road for a long time, she said she was separated from her mother."

There are so many people here, it is common for children to get separated from their parents, but Xie Rulan said again: "I want to send her home."

Xiao Xingyu said: "Does she know where her home is?"

The little girl was not even five years old, and she was licking candied haws while curiously watching the two good-looking brothers talking.

Xie Rulan nodded and said: "She said he lived on the boat, I guess it should be by the pier we passed by before."

It seems that Xie Rulan is determined to send her home, Xiao Xingyu hesitated, Xie Rulan said again: "I think she is very pitiful, if she is ignored, bad people will take her away."

Now that Xie Rulan has made such a decision, what else can Xiao Xingyu say.

He hasn't realized that Xie Rulan is completely different now. In the past, Xie Rulan didn't need to explain to others what she did, but now she is willing to discuss it with him.

Xiao Xingyu agreed with Xie Rulan's approach. Xie Rulan wanted to hug the little girl but was snatched away by Xiao Xingyu. In fact, he was jealous. Xiao Xingyu thought in his heart that Xie Meiren's arms could be snatched away by others first.

Xie Rulan's guess was right, that child was the child of a fisherman's family who lived by the pier.

When sending the child back, her parents were in a hurry to find her, seeing that the little girl was sent to the front of the house, they were very grateful to Xie Rulan and the two of them, and the fisherman wanted to keep them for a drink.

Under the unfavorable hospitality, the two had no choice but to stay. On the bow of the boat, the fisherman's family entertained a delicious seafood supper. Xiao Xingyu had never tasted the mussel meat roasted in the fire, and was grilled by the fisherman like that. , tastes delicious.Also, the fisherman's wine is brewed by himself. I don't know what kind of wine it is, but it tastes mellow anyway.

Xiao Xingyu felt that everything was very novel, so he opened his stomach to eat, and although Xie Rulan didn't talk much, he kept drinking one cup after another, and got drunk with the fisherman.

Maybe Xie Rulan is in a bad mood, Xiao Xingyu guessed.

Midday on the moon.

The woman and the little girl had already fallen asleep in the spacious cabin. The fisherman was lying drunk on the deck, and beside him was Xie Rulan, who was also drunk and collapsed. On the table, Zui Zhong was still frowning, and seemed to be still saying something, pouted slightly.

Taking advantage of him being drunk and unconscious, Xiao Xingyu couldn't help touching those pink lips and smooth cheeks, causing Xie Rulan to reach out to pat him, but almost hit his own face.

Xiao Xingyu pulled his hand down with a smile, and whispered: "You can't hit yourself when you're drunk, what a fool..."

The hand was still harassing his face, making Xie Rulan frown irritably, Xiao Xingyu stretched out his hand to stretch his brows, at this moment, he heard Xie Rulan mutter something, Xiao Xingyu listened .

I didn't hear clearly for a while, then touched Xie Rulan's face again, and asked him: "What did you say just now?"

Xie Rulan opened her mouth in a half-dream and half-awake state, and asked, "Xiao Xingyu?"

The tone was soft and a little drunk, obviously still drunk.

Xiao Xingyu nodded and said with a low smile, "It's me, what's wrong?"

Xie Rulan climbed up on his thigh, groped up and down with both hands, and sat leaning against Xiao Xingyu's chest, asking him with a very brooding tone: "Xiao Xingyu...you... Hiccup...your sweetheart...who is it..."

Hearing that he was still very unhappy, Xiao Xingyu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was unhappy this night because of this, right?

Suddenly being caught in both ears, Xiao Xingyu was pulled so painfully, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Xie Rulan, seeing that he had already opened his eyes filled with mist, pouted his mouth and pretended to be fierce to ask Xiao Xing Yu.

"Say it quickly! Who is your sweetheart?"

"Hiss! Don't pull my ears!" Xiao Xingyu put his arms around Xie Rulan's waist, not only afraid that he would lose strength and fall to himself, but also that he would hold his ears tightly, but it was extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Xingyu hurriedly coaxed him in a warm voice: "Release! Let me tell you, okay... Oh my ancestor! Please stop talking!"

He coaxed him for a long time, and Xie Rulan, who was so drunk that she didn't know what she was doing, slowly let go of his ears, stared at him with a puffy face, and threatened vaguely: "Then...then you say it!"

Xiao Xingyu touched his ear with one hand, and locked Xie Rulan's waist firmly with the other hand. He felt helpless and sweet at the moment, what did Xie Rulan mean by asking him this way?At least he has started to care about him.

At this moment, Xiao Xingyu felt that the red ears that had been pinched no longer hurt, and hugged Xie Rulan's waist with both hands.

Looking at that pretty face, Xiao Xingyu sighed helplessly, "It's you! My sweetheart is you, Xie Rulan! It's you, Xie Ning! Do you have any questions?"

Gently rubbing the slender waist with his fingertips, Xiao Xingyu thought in his heart that if he didn't take the opportunity to touch it twice, he would have no chance after he woke up.

After hearing this, Xie Rulan thought for a long time in a daze, holding Xiao Xingyu's skirt tightly with both hands, her whole face was wrinkled, and she still wanted to ask Xiao Xingyu——

"Who, who is Xie Rulan? Well... and... and who is Xie Ning?"

Xiao Xingyu suddenly wanted to help his forehead, this man was so drunk that he didn't know who he was.

Xiao Xingyu thought for a while, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in front of his eyes, he leaned over to touch Xie Rulan's forehead maliciously, and asked him coaxingly: "What about you? Do you like me?"

After asking, I was afraid that Xie Rulan would ask him who you are, Xiao Xingyu was about to add something, but Xie Rulan frowned and tilted his head thinking for a while, then whispered to him: "I don't know..."

Xiao Xingyu: "!!!"

I wondered if Xie Rulan had already... Xie Rulan continued to speak, but her voice was getting lower and lower, but Xiao Xingyu had already heard it clearly.

Xie Rulan was asking him: "Who are you..."

Xiao Xingyu: "..."

After the man finished speaking, he leaned his head on his shoulder and didn't move. He had obviously fallen asleep, and after a long while, he could only hear his small breathing.

Xiao Xingyu gave a wry smile, then heaved a long sigh, put one hand on the back of Xie Rulan's waist, gently picked up his legs with the other hand, stood up, got off the boat steadily, and walked towards Duanmu's house.

The moon hangs brightly above the head, and the silver light spreads all over the earth, making the shadows of people on the street long.

A short time later, a woman emerged from the cabin, holding a blanket in her arms, but there was only one person left at the patchwork table on the deck.

After the woman walked over, she saw an ingot of silver on the table opposite the drunken fisherman...
