It's approaching the hot summer, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day. Looking at the scorching sun outside the house, people can't think of going out.

In the afternoon of this day, during the rare leisure time, the whole mansion fell into silence.Chu Xi took a nap as usual, but unfortunately she didn't sleep for long, and then woke up from a light sleep.

The maid Yudong was standing by the couch, fanning Chu Xi while dozing off bit by bit.But the maids are always extra vigilant, as soon as there was some movement on the bed, Yu Dong immediately woke up, seeing Chu Xi getting up, he asked: "Miss, why did you get up so early today, don't you want to rest for a while?"

Chu Xi sat up from the couch, shook her head lightly, and the thin blanket on her body slipped down immediately.

Seeing this, Yu Dong hurriedly put away the slipped thin blanket, and then raised his head to find that Chu Xi was faintly sweating on his forehead after waking up—obviously, in such a hot summer afternoon, even if there was a maid fan, It was too hot to sleep.

After the thin blanket on her body was put away by Yu Dong, Chu Xi stood up and walked to the open window with a few steps.

The sunshine in the summer afternoon is unique, and the golden light sprinkles on the flowers and trees in the garden, which is extremely dazzling.The cicadas chirped on the branches proclaiming Xia Yang's power, and the rapid and noisy chirping of "Know it, know it" made people feel a little anxious after hearing it.

A little girl was holding a long pole to catch the cicadas on the branches. She was sweating profusely from her work, but she couldn't calm down the courtyard. The whole courtyard was full of cicadas singing.

Yudong came over with a cup of warm tea, seeing Chu Xi watching the little girl chasing the cicadas, he also took a look outside, and then said: "Miss only had a short rest today, is it because the cicadas are making noise outside the house?"

If Chu Xi thinks it's noisy, there will naturally be a few more people to chase the cicadas tomorrow.

But Chu Xi turned her gaze back from the little girl, took a sip of the tea Yudong handed over, and somehow remembered and asked one more question: "I've been free recently, it seems that I haven't received a post for a long time. , At this time in previous years, there will be posts sending appointments to play and escape the summer heat."

Yu Dong was startled when he heard the words, and then he thought about it—to put it bluntly, Chu Xi could be called the hottest person in Chang'an City.The power of the Chu family is one aspect, and Chu Xi's talent is well-known and sought after by others, so there is no wife or lady who misses her out at a banquet.Even though it was impossible for Chu Xi to go to all the invitations, it was definitely the first time that no one cared about her for a long time.

Thinking of this, Yudong felt that it was impossible for his young lady to be neglected for no reason, so he said, "Perhaps the concierge made a mistake, so I'll go ask."

Chu Xi has a tolerant temperament, so she developed Yu Dongfeng's temperament of being hot and angry. She ran away as soon as she finished speaking, and Chu Xi didn't care about her.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yudong came back, but he was empty-handed: "Miss, I asked, all the posts received by the mansion these days were taken by Mr. Qilang, among them there were several invitations for miss, Mr. Qilang didn't send someone to send it either."

Yudong still complained a little while talking, after all how to treat things like invitations depends on the person, it is up to the young lady to decide which one to be close to and which one to be ignored.It's good now, Mr. Qilang took all the posts and didn't say anything, and he didn't inform the lady, what should I do if I missed something?

Hearing the complaint in Yudong's words, Chu Xi glanced at her lightly, and immediately silenced the girl who didn't know how to measure.

Chu Xi didn't say anything more about this matter, but she was as smart as she was, and after thinking about it for a while, she made a wild guess about the matter - Brother Seven has always been close to her, but never interfered with her friendship and communication At this time, all her posts were suddenly taken away. Except that it was about Wen Fei, Chu Xi couldn't think of a second explanation.

The most important thing is that all the invitations were taken away, which made Chu Xi have to suspect that Brother Qi didn't want her to go out... In other words, as long as she went out, she might meet Wen Fei!

So, has the other party blocked her door? !

*******************************************************************************

Wen Fei has been guarding outside the Chu residence for three days.She took a gamble and didn't shy away from it, she stood outside the gate of Chu's house for three days, almost letting the news spread throughout the small half of Chang'an City.

After waiting for these few days, Wen Fei calmed down a lot after all, and realized that what he did was a bit naive.But it's all here, the young man has a good face and always asks for a result, so he waited patiently.

Fortunately, Wen Fei's waiting was not in vain. Today she finally waited until the door of the Chu family opened, and what came out was no longer the familiar carriage of the Chu family brothers.She subconsciously took a second look at the unfamiliar carriages and horses, and she didn't rush forward to stop the carriage without being rude.But she didn't stop the carriage, and the carriage stopped in front of her. A servant girl poked her head out of the window and said to her, "Is it Little General Wen? My lady, please tell me."

Chu Xi was the only one who could be called a young lady in the carriage that came out of the Chu family.

Wen Fei, who had been waiting for many days, wondered for a moment if this was some kind of trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain?After all, she had waited a long time, and the result seemed too easy.However, such doubts were only for a moment, and Wen Fei quickly put these messy speculations behind him.She glanced at the carriage and said, "It's not convenient for me to get in the carriage, so why not find another place to talk?"

The people in the carriage obviously heard it, and a gentle female voice came from inside the carriage: "The Cuiwei Building on East Street is very quiet, maybe it's not bad."

The woman's voice was unhurried and pleasant, and Wen Fei was inexplicably sure of the identity of the person in the car after hearing it.So she said hello, turned around and went back to lead the horse tied to the side of the road, and headed towards Dongjie first.

The horseshoes trampled and tapped the ground, and the carriage rattled over the road paved with bluestone slabs, and arrived at Cuiwei Building one after another.

After dismounting from the horse, Wen Fei glanced back, and saw the carriage stopped, and the driver opened the door... She subconsciously wanted to see what the legendary girl from the Chu family looked like, so she looked closely, but it turned out that the one who came out first was the messenger the maid.Then when Chu Xi got off the carriage, she was disappointed again, because Chu Xi who got off the carriage was still wearing a veiled hat, but it completely covered his face.

The disappointment was fleeting, and before Chu Xi realized it, Wen Fei suppressed it.She stepped forward to say hello, and confirmed her identity by the way: "Miss Chu?"

Chu Xi looked at her through the hood, nodded slightly: "Marquis Wuwei."

The two sides exchanged their identities, and there was nothing to greet, so they went directly to the Cuiwei Building and asked for a box so that they could have a good talk.

Seeing that Chu Xi didn't take off his hat, Wen Fei felt a little restrained.She had never dealt with such a lady from a big family, and she didn't know how to speak. In addition, she was influenced by the little general's temperament, and finally cut straight to the point: "I have sent three greeting cards to the house, but I have not received a response."

When Chu Xi heard this, her lips under the hood slightly pursed: "I'm sorry, this is a faux pas in my family."

At the beginning of the conversation, Chu Xi didn't seem to be angry because of it, and Wen Fei relaxed a little.She originally wanted to think carefully about her words and mention their marriage in a tactful way, but she was blunt at the beginning, and it seemed that there was no need to be tactful at this time: "Ms. Tell you about the gift of marriage."

Chu Xi's willow eyebrows under the veiled hat lightly raised, but unfortunately Wen Fei couldn't see her expression through the veil: "I would like to hear more about it."

Hearing her gentle and gentle voice, Wen Fei somehow hesitated in his heart, afraid that his frankness would make her sad.But she had to say something, so she looked away a little bit, not daring to look at the person in front of her: "Your Majesty bestowed the marriage, we shouldn't have any objections, but I and the girl have never met, rashly agreed for life, always Something is wrong..."

Chu Xi nodded, her tone was still as gentle as before: "I understand."

Hearing her tone, Wen Fei really didn't know what she really understood or misunderstood.Wanting to say a few more words of explanation, Chu Xi said again: "Your Majesty's imperial decree has been issued. If Marquis Wuwei refuses, I have no objection. Please try to ask His Majesty to take back the order."

What Chu Xi said was serious, Wen Fei didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just nodded—it may not be easy for the emperor to take back his order, but in terms of His Majesty's favoritism towards the little general in the past, things are not without room for change .At worst, go to the battlefield again, the joy of expanding the territory, will definitely make His Majesty forget the anger of her refusal to marry.

After thinking about it again, Wen Fei explained: "I said it was wrong, not because I thought the girl was bad, and I didn't mean to offend."

Chu Xi still nodded, and she was extremely calm through the veiled hat. Wen Fei felt that explaining was unnecessary when she saw it.

The scene was silent for a while, and the two people who were not familiar with each other talked about some embarrassing topics, and the atmosphere became even more embarrassing.In the end, Chu Xi waited for a while, Jian Wenfei had nothing to say, so he took the lead to leave.

The other party was so straightforward that Wen Fei, who had been waiting outside Chu's house for three days, felt a little complicated for a while, but at least the two sides had reached a consensus, and Wen Fei felt a lot more relaxed.Seeing that Chu Xi was about to leave, she didn't want to keep him, but she sent him out of Cuiwei Building and into the carriage herself.

Just as Chu Xi was boarding the car, a gust of wind blew the veil in front of her.

Standing by the road, Wen Fei caught a glimpse of the lower half of the profile of the hood. It was exquisite and beautiful, and seemed vaguely familiar...
