Joyful Reunion

Standing on the bow of the boat and being blown by the cool wind, she saw that there were more and more boats on the river, the lights were flickering, and the Qinhuai River under the night sky became more and more unreal. Is Ji's boat still waiting near Chengyuan?"

Bi Tao said: "Isn't it? I have also given in to the persistence of Ji's family. What do you want the girl to say?"

Yan Shuangzi thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow...you tell them that I will definitely not accept the gift, and tell them to go back. Then you go to last Ji's house and hand in a formal greeting card. I will come to the door in person the next day Go visit Ji's house."

Bitao was a little dazed, not knowing what to say, Yan Shuangzi said: "I just remembered that I really have something to ask his family now, don't ask too much, I must send the greeting card tomorrow, remember to be respectful." Bitao saw her solemn expression, I quickly agreed.

Yan Shuangzi turned around and entered the boat, saw Li Yuncong and his father were still talking, and said bluntly: "Father is talking more and more now, didn't you say that the Qingliang Bridge is better, there are more people now, I want to go to the shore with my third brother Let's go, father, do you want to go, count the time, turn back from Qingliang bridge, you should go back to Chengyuan."

Seeing what she said, Yan Hengdao also looked at the sky outside, quickly stopped talking and said: "Okay, okay, let's go, I talked to Zhiyuan about speculation, and I will go to Chengyuan to buy him a drink some other day."

Only then did Li Yuncong get up to salute and say goodbye. The two of them came out to the small boat together. Lao Lin pulled the boat to the shore, and several of them disembarked. What did the third brother say, didn't it scare you?"

Li Yuncong shook his head and said with a smile: "How do you say that about Uncle Yan? We only talk about the customs in the south of the Yangtze River, the world situation in the officialdom, your father is well-informed, has a pleasant temperament, and is informal. It is very pleasant to talk to him."

Yan Shuangzi muttered: "That's weird..." Li Yuncong just looked at her with a smile and didn't say anything.

The two walked and looked at the lanterns, all kinds of shapes, colors, and lantern riddles, surrounded by a group of people, Yan Shuangzi looked at the riddles from a distance, shook the fan with a "crash", and did a good job The young master said, "Should I also go up and guess a few, and win a few lamps for Brother Ting?"

Li Yuncong was about to nod his head and say yes, when suddenly a girl came over with a smile on her side, knelt down and gave a blessing to the two, and then said to Yan Shuangzi: "It's really offending to disturb the two young masters' elegant mood. My girl just saw this young master's handsomeness Uncommon, with outstanding bearing, I am really happy, I sent a special servant to ask, can I tell you your name, Mr. Xiaolang? Where is he from?"

Before Yan Shuangzi could react, Bitao Chunhui laughed out loud behind her.Li Yuncong also realized that most of the women in the boudoir usually don't go out, just beg for a coincidence, the Mid-Autumn Festival can take advantage of the night to come out to play, many young men and women take advantage of this opportunity to flirt with each other, make a private appointment for life, or like this girl, look at who Erlang was overjoyed, and boldly sent someone to ask where his name came from. If both parties wanted to go back and report to his parents, it would be good for Qin and Jin for a while.

Yan Shuangzi blinked her eyes, and seeing that the maid was well dressed and spoke with elegance, she must have come from someone with some background in Yingtian Mansion, she just waved her folding fan and asked in a low voice, "Is your girl just asking me? The young man next to me can be called a dragon and phoenix among people, why don't you ask him?"

Li Yuncong glanced at her, with a smile in his eyes, just watching her talking nonsense with the little maid.

The servant girl glanced at Li Yuncong, shook her head and said, "I can't say for sure about the fate of the eyes. This young man is good, but he is not as handsome as the young man. Besides, he must have a family at his age, and he is still a young man." Mr. Lang seems to be about the same age as my girl."

Yan Shuangzi shook her head with a smile, bowed her hands and said: "To tell you the truth, although I am not very old next year, and my family has not yet engaged in marriage, I already have my own heart, and I only wish to live up to the one I love. Please also send me a letter to your family." The girl apologized, and said that it was because of my poor fate that I failed the girl's kindness, and that there is no fate in this life, and if there is an afterlife, I only hope that the girl will look at it and then make a relationship."

She only acted so gracefully and spoke so well, even though the little servant girl was disappointed when she heard it, she just bowed and said for a long time: "Then...that means my girl is unlucky, my lord." To be blunt, I don’t bully my slaves, I’m a real gentleman, I only hope that Mr. Xiaolang will be happy in the future, and be with his beloved family forever, so I’m leaving this slave.” After saying this, he turned and walked away very reluctantly.

When Yan Shuangzi heard her words of congratulations, she was a little dazed for a moment. Seeing the little maid passing through the crowd, she bent down to say something in front of a small sedan chair, and the curtain was opened a little, and she saw A pair of cross-wave eyes flashed and were covered again.

Yan Shuangzi suddenly said hurriedly to Li Yuncong: "Third Brother, wait for me!"

Li Yuncong didn't know what she was going to do, so he didn't have time to hold her back, only to see that she had already run to the front of the sedan chair and said something through the curtain of the sedan chair, the little maid immediately covered her mouth in surprise.

After a while, I saw a corner of the little curtain lifted, and Yan Shuangzi said something to the girl over there, then passed the folding fan in her hand, and saw the little maidservant salute, and asked someone to lift up the little girl. The sedan chair left.

Li Yuncong walked over, stood with her and watched the sedan go far away, and asked: "What did you say to others, did you reveal your identity?"

Yan Shuangzi turned her head to look at him and said, "I was just teasing that little girl and talking nonsense, but she said she wished me all the best, and I suddenly couldn't bear to lie to her, probably... because I was afraid of retribution... ...The eyes of the master and servant are not very good. The fake Feng Xuhuang doesn't know it at all, and I don't know if it's because I read too many books of those stories, but I really met someone outside and asked about my life. If I If I don't tell the truth today, let her know how wrong I am, if she is so innocent, if she meets someone who has evil intentions in the future, she will definitely waste her life in vain."

Seeing her like this, Li Yuncong sighed softly: "How can this be called karma? You are soft-hearted, and you think so long-term for a person who met once. That girl knows your identity, and later thinks about today's misidentification. , and see others again, there will always be a little more scrutiny."

Yan Shuangzi said: "I can often go out with the teacher to see a doctor, and my father doesn't control me very much, but most of them don't go out all year round, they just shut the door and read some sad words and sentences to guess what it looks like outside. , I don’t even know that people’s hearts are sinister, if I deliberately deceive her today and seek her family property, what will happen to her in the future?”

Li Yuncong smiled and said: "That girl is lucky, because Ayan, you didn't lie to her to seek her family property, and you must have warned her well. I guess that girl must be very grateful."

Yan Shuangzi said: "I want to worship my sister with me. I gave her the folding fan, and told her to come to Chengyuan to talk to me when she has a chance, and then let Aunt Yun talk to her well."

Li Yuncong laughed lowly, and said: "Aunt Yun will be able to handle this matter well, today is really an adventure, Ayan doesn't go out so easily, but almost recruited a peach blossom."

Yan Shuangzi smiled and said: "Third brother teased me, what kind of peach blossoms, I am also surprised when I say it, what kind of eyes do these girls have? Yu Xuanang, on the contrary, he likes my frail and flamboyant appearance, what a strange thing!"

Hearing her complaints in a low voice, Li Yuncong smiled lightly and said, "Since the Song Dynasty, people in the world have become more and more fond of sickness and coquettishness. You can see that most people only wear folding fans instead of swords when they go out. Fufen Tanlang refers to a class of frail and beautiful people, just like how Ayan dressed up today."

Yan Shuangzi shook her head and sighed: "Forgive me, I really don't agree with you. How I see it, every good man should be like the third brother."

While talking, the two gradually walked to the Qingliang Bridge. On the stage at the head of the bridge, they saw the signboard of the Jiqing Troupe hanging high. There were many people standing, bursts of cheers thundered, and they all clapped their hands and applauded the Danjiao on the stage.

The two stood on the bridge, and the two ends of the Qinhuai River were from far to near, with a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery. Yan Shuangzi secretly raised her eyes and glanced sideways at Li Yuncong, and saw that he was listening to the words on the stage with a smile. There was a bit of a fairy feeling, and even the noisy crowd around him seemed to be invisible, leaving only the breath of the person around him and his own heartbeat, which were particularly distinct.

"I don't know when I will see such a beautiful scene next time." Li Yuncong sighed suddenly.

Yan Shuangzi's heart felt sour, and she said for a while, "Brother Ting will be able to go to the field before the twelfth lunar month. After the third brother returns to Huai'an, he will go to another place next year, will he still think of today's night scene?"

Li Yuncong looked at her with a smile and said, "The trip to Jinling was so successful, how could I forget to visit Qinhuai with Ayan today?"

Yan Shuangzi didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and said: "I don't know where third brother will enjoy the moon with whom in the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, the girl from the Shen family who is my childhood sweetheart...... Let's discuss the marriage with the third brother's family..."

Li Yuncong nodded and said: "Ah Yan mentioned this, but I thought it was all my fault. It has delayed Feiyan for many years. When I and Feiyan are settled, Ayan can go to have a drink together with Brother Shenzhi. Would you like a drink?"

Yan Shuangzi's heart ached, she hesitated for a while and said with a smile: "Third brother is so sincere in inviting me, why would I not go, I really don't know what kind of girl third brother's fiancée is, she must be a beautiful wife... .. Third brother, can you promise me one thing?"

Li Yuncong said: "Ah Yan has orders, and I will not refuse."

Yan Shuangzi said: "In the coming year...no matter where the third brother takes office, if he arrives there, can you write me a letter so that I can know where the third brother is at this time next year... Under the moon..."

Hearing her words, Li Yuncong became more and more sad. He looked down at her with the lights on the river, although there was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were red, his brows were sad, and he was clearly affectionate!

Li Yuncong was shocked!

He didn't know when the girl fell in love with him. In the flickering light and shadow, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl's intentions, which made him a little at a loss. Getting along day and night, always smiling and smiling, could it be that my words and deeds are so frivolous these days, making this girl wrong for no reason?He is guilty!

Seeing his gloomy expression, Yan Shuangzi said with a trembling voice, "Third brother...doesn't want to write to me?"

Li Yuncong returned to God and said: "I have no such intentions, Ayan, don't worry, I promise you, I will send you a letter as soon as I settle down after I arrive in office."

Yan Shuangzi felt a little happy when he agreed, and then heard him whisper: "Ayan, since I came to Yingtian to see you, I have been very speculative. Brother Shenzhi said that you always seemed to be less temperamental in the past. Hui, lest something unexpected happen to you, but now I feel that you have a bright disposition and profound blessings, and I love you very much. Brother Shenzhi and I were originally siblings. Taking advantage of the full moon today, I would like to become Jinlan brothers and sisters with Ayan. From now on, if there is wind and rain, let my elder brother bear it for you, Ayan, are you willing?"

There was a roar in Yan Shuangzi's ears. At one moment, she felt that the voices were noisy, but at another moment she could clearly hear his words about becoming brothers and sisters verbatim. Two lines of tears couldn't stop falling. After a while, she finally heard her own words. Voice: "Okay... I also admire the character of the third brother. I... have no elder brothers in my family. I have envied those girls who are loved by my father and brother since I was a child. From now on, I will also have a third brother as my supporter." I'm sheltered from the wind and rain, and I'm really happy..."

He really planned for her, felt unable to respond to her wishes, thought about her future, and decided to cut off her affection, how could she make things difficult for him.

Li Yuncong took out his handkerchief and said with a smile: "Why are you crying? It was decided that I would take care of Ayan in the future, but I made you cry again in a blink of an eye. I am really incompetent. I need Ayan to teach my elder brother how to do it for you in the future." At your service, will you?"

Yan Shuangzi took the handkerchief and quickly wiped away her tears, grinning and said: "I'm glad I got a brother, it's getting late, and there are more boats going back now, let's go back to Chengyuan too. He also promised to bring a lamp to Brother Ting."

Li Yuncong saw her laughing through tears, his brows and eyes softened immediately, and he nodded, "Okay, bring him one on the way back."
