On the other side, Xue Xiao was walking with Fu Li on the bank of the river.

"Brother Zhao, did you make a wish in your heart when you ate longevity noodles today?" Xue Xiao tilted his head and looked at him, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

Fu Li glanced at him and said yes slowly.

"Really? What wish did you make?" Xue Xiao asked impatiently.

"Don't you know that it won't work if you say it?" Fu Li seemed not to want to say it, and his tone was a bit perfunctory.

Xue Xiao whispered "Okay" with some frustration, and unconsciously twirled his fingers around his sleeves.

Seeing that he opened his mouth like this, Fu Li wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just thought in his heart that what I wanted was to have someone to accompany me on my birthday every year. If I couldn't fulfill my wish, why bother to say it? come out.

The two looked at each other silently for a while, and walked in silence.

After about a hundred steps, Xue Xiao stopped suddenly and asked Fu Li to stand there waiting for him, and then went back by himself.

Fu Li nodded, Xue Xiao's voice gradually disappeared from his eyes.

Looking at the people around him walking together or playing together with their wives and children, Fu Li felt as if he had returned to the lonely time when he was alone in Fu University's scholar's mansion, and suddenly wanted to find Xue Xiao, and be with him, no matter what Anything is fine.

Just as he was hesitating, Fu Li saw Xue Xiao's voice coming from the opposite side, "Brother Zhao, brother Zhao."

At the same time, fireworks ignited somewhere, and the sky was instantly illuminated with colorful colors.

At this moment, Fu Li felt that Xue Xiao, who was running towards him, seemed to break into his world with light, driving away all the darkness for him.At this moment, Fu Li heard his heart beating loudly, as if he was about to jump out of the moon's chest.

When Xue Xiao ran close, Fu Li noticed that he was still holding something in his hand.

"Here, here you go. Write down your wishes quickly, and we'll put the lanterns together later." Xue Xiao handed the Kongming lantern and writing brush to Fu Li, urging him.

Fu Li looked at the things in his hands, and then glanced at Xue Xiao, and found that he was writing quickly on the Kongming lantern with a pen, and then wrote two lines with a pen.

After finishing writing, Xue Xiao popped out the fire book bought from the stall from his sleeve, lit the lamp oil, and together with Fu Li, put the Kongming Lantern into the sky.

Kongming lanterns were already floating in the sky in twos and threes. As time went by, there were more and more Kongming lanterns, gradually converging into a stream of light, which slowly turned to the distance.

Looking at the Kongming Lantern swaying with the wind in the sky, Fu Li turned his head to look at Xue Xiao again, and said silently: I hope that the people around me will not change today.

After setting off the Kongming lanterns, Xue Xiao saw that it was getting late, so the two went back home.

Because there were many pedestrians on Qiqiao Festival Road, the carriage did not dare to run on the road, so when we returned to the mansion, it was already [-]:[-] o'clock.

After Fu Li came back, he immediately took a shower, was getting dressed, and was wiping his hair with a cloth towel, when there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Zhao, are you resting? I forgot to give you something." Xue Xiao's voice floated into the room through the crack of the door.

With a "squeak", Fu Li opened the door, and Xue Xiao was standing there holding a brocade box.

Fu Li turned sideways, said please come in, then returned to the chair and continued to wipe his hair.

"Here, here is your birthday gift." Xue Xiao pushed the brocade box in front of Fu Li.

When Fu Li heard this, his hand that was wiping his hair stopped suddenly. He thought that the birthday party was already the biggest surprise, but he didn't expect that Xue Xiao would prepare a gift for him.

Throwing the cloth towel on the table, Fu Li opened the brocade box, inside there was a jade hairpin, shaped like bamboo, with green body and warm tentacles, it was a good product at first glance.

"This jade hairpin is too precious, you should take it back!" Fu Li put the hairpin back into the box and pushed it back to Xue Xiao.

He chose this hairpin out of thousands of choices, how could he take it back, Xue Xiao thought to himself, and said with a strong attitude: "The things you give out are like the water you poured out. You can't take it back. If you don't like it, throw it away. .”

"This..." Fu Li didn't know how to answer when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment and accepted it, "If that's the case, then I will accept it, thank you!"

"That's right! You just washed your hair, and I'll tie it into a bun for you. Put a hairpin on the hairpin to see how it works?" Xue Xiao didn't wait for Fu Li to speak, and picked up a wooden comb from the dressing table to comb Fu Li's hair. .

Seeing Xue Xiao's excitement, Fu Li didn't want to interrupt, so he sat on the stool and let him play with him.

"Okay, turn around and let me have a look." Xue Xiaozan said to Fu Li after putting on the hairpin.

Fu Li turned around obediently, Xue Xiao looked around and found that the hairpin was inserted crookedly.So he half bent his upper body and approached Fu Li, adjusting the angle of the hairpin.

In front of Fu Li's eyes was Xue Xiao's chest, because it was close to the tip of his nose and touched his clothes, his nose was filled with the scent of smoked clothes, the fragrance was elegant and light, which made people a little obsessed.

"Well, it's all right now." Xue Xiao put his arms around his arms, nodded in satisfaction, and then handed the bronze mirror to Fu Li, letting him see for himself.

"I didn't expect you to comb your hair well." Fu Li stroked his bun, joking.

Xue Xiao raised his chin with a smile, his face was full of complacency.

"It's getting late, I'm going back, and it's time for you to go to bed." Xue Xiao said while listening to the more leaky voice in the room.

Fu Li nodded, then stood up and sent Xue Xiao out of the room.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, Xue Xiao suddenly remembered something and turned around to talk to Fu Li, but when he turned around, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell straight forward.

Seeing this, Fu Li immediately reached out to help, but he ignored the force of Xue Xiao's fall, and the two of them fell straight to the ground with a "boom".

Fortunately, there was a thick layer of carpet on the floor, and there was no injury, but the position seemed awkward.

It turned out that Xue Xiao fell on Fu Li's chest when he fell, and by coincidence, his mouth was facing Fu Li's lips.

For a while, the two stared with big eyes and small eyes, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.

Xue Xiao didn't expect this situation, and got up from Fu Li in a hurry, "You, are you okay?" While speaking, his eyes wandered around but he didn't look at Fu Li.

"I'm fine." Fu Li sat up with a shy tone, his ears were visibly red.

"Oh, that's good, I'm leaving!" After saying this, Xue Xiao stood up quickly and left, as if there was something terrifying behind her.

"Good night." Fu Li said to Xue Xiao's back, thinking of the situation just now, he touched his lips unconsciously, and sat on the ground blankly.

I don't know how long I sat, my legs and feet felt a little numb, so I got up and went to the clean room, changed into clean clothes, and went to bed.

Here Xue Xiao ran back to the room, feeling his face was hot, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

"What should I do? What should I do? How should I face Brother Zhao tomorrow? How embarrassing?" Xue Xiao muttered to himself in distress.

"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, I'll go to bed first, and we'll talk about tomorrow!" Xue Xiao, who had thought for a long time and couldn't think of anything, felt a little bit broken.

"Tick tock tick tock" the sound of water dripping from the leak was especially clear in the quiet room, and Xue Xiao fell asleep peacefully under the quilt.

"Dong dong dong" knocked on the door, Xue Xiao woke up in a daze, and rubbed his sleepy eyes with his hands.

"Come in!" The voice was hoarse with sleepiness.

The people outside pushed open the door, entered the house one after another, and arranged the things in their hands.

Throwing off the quilt, Xue Xiao got up, put on his clothes, washed up and had breakfast.

Before he was picking up a piece of fried cake, Laifu hurried into the room and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What a great official authority, let him wait!" Xue Xiao left these words, still eating slowly.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xue Xiao wiped the corners of his mouth with a cloth towel, got up and went to the flower hall with Laifu.

"I don't know which official came to this mansion, why didn't he serve you with tea! The hospitality is not good, if you are neglected, I will ask you!"

The county magistrate sitting in the flower hall heard Xue Xiao's voice before seeing him.

"No, no." The magistrate quickly waved his hand.

"I don't know what advice you can give me when you come to my house?" Xue Xiao thought that his itinerary was not high-profile, and it stands to reason that no officials should know.

"It's like this. Someone reported that the daughter of your mansion is pretending to be the current princess, so I came here to check it out." The magistrate spoke truthfully, with a very polite tone.

It turned out that the county magistrate was found by Hua Xiaoxiao. She hid her conflict with Xue Qing and only said that someone pretended to be the princess and asked the county magistrate to arrest him.

The county magistrate was shocked when he heard it, but then he thought about it, if it was true, he would sell it first, maybe he would be promoted just around the corner; if he hadn't been arrested, he could still be promoted.

"Oh? Really? I don't know if adults think it's true or not?" Xue Xiao dragged his voice and looked at the magistrate with raised eyebrows.

"Look at my brother's outstanding temperament and dignified appearance, I think he won't deceive people!" The county magistrate said flatteringly.

"Hahaha, the magistrate is really good at talking! It's just a pity that the trip was in vain, so please go back to the yamen." Xue Xiao laughed a few times, and tapped his fingers on the high table next to him.

The county magistrate heard the meaning of Xue Xiao's words, and he was glad that he had made the right bet, so he bent down to say goodbye.

"Tell me! What happened yesterday?" Xue Xiao asked the guard who was with Xue Qing yesterday.

The guard knelt on one knee and lowered his head, and told everything about what happened at the Qiqiao Festival yesterday.

"What a Hua Xiaoxiao, she dared to insult Sister Qing as a country bumpkin, and even reported to the officials to arrest her. Come here, and post a message to a famous merchant in Yangzhou City. I will hold a banquet tomorrow and find someone who can cooperate with Lanyueju." Xue Xiao was furious after hearing this, and ordered to recruit money.

Thinking of Hua Xiaoxiao going to slap Sister Qing, Xue Xiao couldn't help but want to vent her anger for Sister Qing, how dare a daughter of a small merchant be so bold!He wanted to see what kind of person she was.

If you want to recruit money, send someone to do it immediately.Xue Qing didn't know that Xue Xiao would go to such lengths to express this anger for her.
