Chapter 45 Chapter 43: Green, Dark, Red, Sorrowful and Shy

Aunt Cui leaned against the door, looking at Jin Quan's back and smiling.Turning around, I saw Yanxi standing in the side aisle, sticking out her tongue.Aunt Cui said: "Why are you sneaking around here?" Yanxi said: "I caused this catastrophe, why don't you tell me not to be afraid?" Aunt Cui said: "You are talking about Feng What did you mention? What does this have to do with you, so that you should be frightened?" Yan Xiyin told Meili's question and what Peifang heard, from beginning to end.Yin said: "Do you think it's bad or not?" Aunt Cui smiled and said, "This matter of yours is not a disaster, but a great contribution to please both sides." Yanxi said: "How do you say that? I don't understand "Aunt Cui said: "Isn't it because once you say it, you can make a fuss about it? As far as your sister-in-law is concerned, although she doesn't remember your great achievements, she won't say that you have any faults. As for your elder brother, this All of a sudden, the quarrel will be fine. My wife said I don’t care, and your father said I don’t care, as long as I talk to Peifang, I can take it home. It was originally a private matter, but now it’s a big deal. Convenient location? In any case, it is beneficial and harmless to Fengju, isn't this a great achievement for you?" Yanxi said: "As expected, it is a meritorious service, but why is father so talkative?" Aunt Cui pointed her nose Shrugging, pointing to the tip of his nose with one index finger, he said, "Huh! That's not blowing, it's all up to me to clear it up for him. Do you believe it?" Yanxi said, "Why don't I believe it?" Aunt Cui said, "Do you believe it?" That's good. If you have any embarrassing things in the future, you can ask me to clear them up. Although it can't be done very well, it won't be a bad thing." When Yanxi heard about it, she stood upright in front of Aunt Cui and bowed three times to her .Aunt Cui said, "Why is that? Is there anything you need from me right away?" Yanxi smiled and said, "I don't have anything to ask for now, but as far as I think, it's always inevitable. It's rare that you have such kind words, and the opportunity is not to be missed." However, I bowed to you three times and put down the deposit. When I ask you in the future, if you accept my deposit, you can't refuse. Do you think my idea is good?" Aunt Cui scolded with a smile: "Young children, don't learn well, and make such a slippery look, I don't like this kind of look." Yanxi said: "I have something to ask you, if you don't like it, why don't you have to cry?" Aunt Cui said: "Stop making noises here, go to your mother's house to hear the good news. If you hear it, give me a letter, don't forget."

When Yanxi heard about it, she really came to Mrs. Jin's room.As soon as he entered the courtyard door, Qiuxiang stood by the outer courtyard door, nodding and waving, as if he had something very important to say to him.Yanxi walked over and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me." Qiuxiang smiled and said, "A good friend called to invite you to dinner. Brother Jinrong is looking for you everywhere, and he is sweating." Yanxi said: "Is the person who invites me to dinner a good friend?" Qiuxiang said: "That's not the case, because this friend is a lady." Yanxi said: "How do you know it's a lady? Who is it?" Qiuxiang said : "I don't know who it is. When Jin Rong was looking for you, I kept looking for your phone number. I asked her to wait, but she said no need to wait, and call later. I heard the voice, it was a girl talking, That's why I know she's Miss." Yanxi smiled and said, "Don't go in there and talk nonsense." Qiuxiang said, "Seventh Lord just doesn't know what's good or bad, people are looking for you everywhere, and you're suspicious of us." Yanxi said with a smile : "Bastard! You say that about me, regardless of size. I'm going to hit you with big chestnuts." Qiuxiang heard that, turned around and ran away with a smile.

Yanxi asked Jin Rong, only to find out that Qingqiu had called.He said that he would go to Xiweilou for dinner immediately, and if it was urgent, he asked Yanxi to go there.Yanxi thought to herself, if she has something to do, why doesn't she talk about it at home, instead of going to a big restaurant to talk about it, that's weird.At that time, although there was still a car at home, they didn't sit in it. They hired a rickshaw and came to Xiweilou.When I arrived at Xiweilou, the waiter there recognized him, so he smiled and said, "The seventh master is here. One came earlier, and I'm waiting for you here." Yanxi said, "I see." So he kept going up Upstairs, in a small private room, I saw Qingqiu standing there, leaning on the back of the chair, looking at the landscape paintings on the wall, it seemed very boring.Yin smiled and said, "Have you come early? Today is like a treat." Yanxi took off her hat, hung it on the hook, and tilted her head to talk to her.She turned around and said lightly to Yanxi, "Why are you so busy? I don't see you." Yanxi said, "I didn't know you had something to tell me. If you knew, you would have come here a long time ago. What's the matter? Are you willing to speak out after inviting me to dinner?" Qingqiu didn't say anything, and sat in the chairman's place.Yanxi hurriedly sat down beside the corner of the table.Although Yanxi talked and laughed freely, seeing her frowning and looking down, she stopped laughing, because she asked her: "How is it? Is there any difficulty?" Qingqiu sighed and said: "I'm sacrificing for you, no matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter. But I still have a mother, and I have to think for her when things happen. Is it impossible for her to sacrifice with me?" Yanxi said: "You These words come out of nowhere, I am so puzzled." Having said this, the waiter has already entered the room to serve the food.Usually Qingqiu eats western food, and with the dish brand in hand, he must think twice.This time, he took a casual look at the menu and pushed it on the table without saying anything.Yanxi was full of doubts, and his ambition was not to eat, so he didn't say anything, but shook his head at the waiter.Seeing this, the waiter took his preparations and went.Yanxi asked: "What on earth do you have to say, tell me first, so that I don't worry." Qingqiu said: "What are you busy with? You eat first, and I will tell you later." Yanxi said: "Why don't we eat while we eat? Talking about it? Otherwise, I can’t eat it.” Qingqiu said: “Can’t you eat it? I can’t eat it!” Yanxi said: “My God, what’s the matter, just say it, I’m so bored Dead." At this moment, Qingqiu frowned and smiled sweetly.Said: "I'm going to play a charade and you guess it. It's the common saying that if you sow melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans." Yanxi said: "What does this mean? I don't understand." Qingqiu said: "You still have intentions, You still really don't understand?" Yanxi said: "Speak well, why am I being cunning? I really don't understand." Qingqiu said: "Seeing how handsome you are, you turned out to be a silver pewter." Yanxi said: "Don't scold me, I have decided on a good name for myself, it is an embroidered pillow. You think the outside of the pillow is made of silk and silk, and inside, there are wheat husks, straw, reed flowers, and duck down." "Qingqiu smiled and said: "If there are duck down and reed flowers in it, that's all." Yanxi said: "Yes! My pillow is just straw and buckwheat husks." Qingqiu said: "Since you don't understand, I'll talk about it later " Seeing that, Yanxi knew she was in the way of the waiter, so she didn't ask, and waited until the coffee was served, but the waiter stopped coming.Qingqiu blushed and said: "Didn't I tell you earlier? What's the big deal? You always say it doesn't matter, and you give all kinds of reasons. Last time I said it too, you have to Be careful, you don't care. Look..." Yanxi said: "How is it? Did Auntie say something?" Qingqiu said: "She still doesn't know, but if she doesn't try to remedy it, she should know soon. I can't today I'm being polite, let me ask you a question, when are you willing to make it public?" Yanxi said: "Is it just for this? Anyway, within this year." Qingqiu's face turned serious, and he said: "Seriousness is seriousness, jokes are jokes. People talk to you, why are you still so casual?" Yanxi said: "I'm not casual, this is what is in my heart." Qingqiu said: "It is what is in your heart, don't you care about your interests?" Yanxi said Xidao: "What's the benefit?" Qingqiu frowned and said: "You still don't understand, I'm tired of it." As he spoke, he stamped his feet and said: "You have hurt me." When he said, he put the button on I took out the fountain pen I had inserted, and took out a business card of my own from the small bag, but wrote a line on the back of the business card: "The flowing water will fall to the flowers and the spring will go, and there will be no tide on the Xunyang River." After writing, Throwing it in front of Yanxi, said: "Look at it." Yanxi took a look, and said with a smile: "A line, a line of poem, it's very natural." Qingqiu said: "Don't just look at the words, think carefully. Think." When he said that, he put his arms flat on the table, crossed his fingers, propped his chin, and looked at Yanxi.Yanxi took the business card and read it twice in her hand, and said with a smile: "If it was a year ago, you would have written it in vain. In the past half a year, Teacher Meng taught me, and I understand the implication. But I guess not this time You scared me." Qingqiu said: "I'm so anxious, you still don't care." Yanxi said: "It's weird, why is it so coincidental? How long has it been?" Qingqiu blushed and turned her head Arms pillowed, face hidden.Yanxi said: "Just now you said I was joking, what about you?" Qingqiu raised his head and said: "You asked, how long can it be? It's now. My health is very good, and the date is always accurate. This time it will be half an hour It’s been a month. At first I thought it was a disease, but now I think about it, it’s definitely not, what do you think should I do?” Yanxi took a coffee cup, sipped it slowly, frowned and said: “If it’s true, but A tricky thing. I can't think of a way for a while, let me think about it." Qingqiu said: "How to think about it? I think this matter must be done after one more day. You have to think about it, but I can't wait "Yanxi said: "Why are you in such a hurry? According to your words, we will get married, and we need a month's preparation." Qingqiu said: "I think so too. Why don't you send me to the hospital Let's solve this problem." Yanxi said with a smile: "I absolutely don't agree with this. If you say a word, it will hurt the harmony of heaven and earth. Do you have the heart to do this?" Qingqiu said: "I can't help it, no What do you have the heart to do?" Yanxi said: "This method is not good after all. Please give me a three-day deadline, and I will give you a definite answer within three days. It's resolved." Qingqiu frowned and said: "Since I found out the day before yesterday, I've been thinking about it all the time. I don't know if you have any solution? Now you say it, but there is nothing you can do. You are really embarrassing me. It doesn't matter if you wait for three days, but you told me to rush for three days." Yanxi said: "Although you are in a hurry for three days, I think as long as you figure out a way, it will be done once and for all. Maybe this little trick is to facilitate our It’s a good thing.” Qingqiu stretched out his right index finger, raked a target on his face, and said with a smile: “Thank you for saying all three words of tricks.” Yanxi said: “Isn’t this the truth?” , stood up, supported Qingqiu's shoulders and said: "Don't worry, the future is optimistic anyway. I have thought of a trick a long time ago. If there is any difficulty in the family, I will use my last move to take money out of the country. When you go to a foreign country, no one can do whatever you want. What do you think of my method?" Qingqiu said: "I just don't want to part with my mother, otherwise, it's a good way." Yanxi said with a smile: "Me too That being said, I'm afraid you will be reluctant to part with your aunt. But this method is the last resort. Of course, within these three days, I will come up with a more perfect method. Just don't worry." Qingqiu said with a smile : "You can't be sure what you say. It's so good to say it face to face. Just turn around and you'll put it behind your neck." Yanxi said: "It's usually a joke, I might be like this Don't pay attention. If you talk about serious things, when will I have no head and no tail?"

Qingqiu heard him say that there is a way, so he felt more relaxed. Seeing the fruit on the table, he picked up a pear, peeled the skin around the knife, and used two fingers to pinch the stem, and put it in Yanxi. in the dish.Yanxi leaned back, and said with a smile, "Excuse me! You are so tired of cutting, I am embarrassed to eat it alone, let each person share half." Yanxi took the knife and was about to cut down, when Qingqiu pressed him He said with his hand: "There are some, I want to eat, just cut another one. You can eat it." Yanxi put down the knife and said with a smile: "I remembered again. I remember dividing pears once, and you stopped me. That means." Qingqiu smiled and said: "I'm not superstitious, I don't want to eat these cold things." Yanxi took the knife and patted it flat on her right cheek.Laughing: "Yeah! I'm so careless, you can't eat raw or cold." Qingqiu said: "Nonsense! I mean, that's not the case, don't talk nonsense. I never like fruits." Yanxi Said: "Can you come out at night to eat or not, and watch a movie together?" Qingqiu said: "My heart is in such a mess, why do I have the heart to go to the movies? Even you, you should go back early, lie down and think about it Find a way to go." Yanxi laughed and said, "Why are you so busy at this moment?" So they settled the bill, and they went downstairs together.Yanxi said: "Do you want me to take you home?" Qingqiu said: "I'm not going home, I'm going to see a classmate, so go back quickly." Yanxi saw her needlessly anxious, although it was ridiculous, But pitiful.I had no choice but to follow her words, put aside everything and go home.

When I got home, I lay down on the sofa and slowly thought about how to solve this problem.It's just that this matter is a personal secret, and I can't discuss it with the third person. The three sisters, or I can have some ideas with myself, but it's a matter of boudoir, and it's hard to talk about it.As for the three elder brothers, they are all worthless, so the ideas they come up with may not be usable.Other people don't care about it.After thinking for a long time, he actually came up with a detour, and asked Jin Rong to invite the Fourth Young Master Liu Shouhua.Jin Rong smiled and said, "Qi Ye and he don't cooperate very much..." Yan Xi frowned and said, "Go! Don't talk nonsense!" Dare to say more, guard Hua invited here.As soon as Liu Shouhua entered the door, he smiled and said, "You don't need to mention it. I already guessed what you want to say. Have you found a house for me?" Yanxi said, "No, please sit down and talk slowly. " So he got up and closed the door, ordered Liu Shouhua to sit down on a sofa, and said with a smile, "You should congratulate me first." When he said that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at his face.Liu Shouhua said: "What's the congratulations? Did you win money?" Yanxi said: "Why don't you always guess that I have a good thing? I'm so bad?" Knocked a chestnut.Liu Shouhua smiled and said: "I made a slip of the tongue, I'm sorry. I think you must have decided to enter a school." Yanxi said: "You are really hurting me. Which school can I enter?" Liu Shouhua said with a smile: " This is difficult. If you say that you are not doing decent things, you are not willing. If you say that you are doing decent things, you say that I hurt you. How should you say it? I can’t guess that such a thing is not right or crooked, so you just Why don't you just say it yourself." Yanxi smiled, and when she reached the point of her mouth, she held back.Yin said: "It's up to you to guess. If you think about the most proud thing in life, you will guess." Liu Shouhua said with a smile: "The most proud thing in life..." As he spoke, he scratched his hair, He smiled and said, "Yes, why don't you become an official?" Yanxi smiled and said, "I don't need to be an official yet. You can become a pair with an official, you can think about it later." Liu Shouhua stomped his feet with a smile Said: "This time I guessed it completely, you and Miss Bai are officially engaged and are going to live together soon?" Yanxi said: "Guessed and guessed, you only guessed half of it." Liu Shouhua said: "Why did you only guess? Half? Is there anything further than marriage?" Yanxi said: "It's not further, you guessed wrong, my opponent Fang is not named Bai." Liu Shouhua said: "It's not Bai, What's your last name? I haven't heard that there is a third party who is qualified for you!" Yanxi said: "Not only you don't know, but there are many people who don't know." Liu Shouhua smiled and said: "Well, you are getting married soon , your lover, you still keep a secret, you are amazing. Tell me, who is this person?" Yanxi shook his hand, shook it several times, and said, "Don't yell, don't yell! You yell this Things will get worse." Liu Shouhua said: "Then why?" Yanxi smiled and said: "Naturally, I am particular, let me ask you, now I want to announce my marriage to a woman that everyone does not know..." Liu Shouhua said: "Don't talk nonsense Now, tell me who this person is?" Although Yanxi swayed her legs, she smiled and said nothing.Liu Shouhua then asked: "What does this mean? Are you still ashamed and refuse to say it?" Yanxi said: "Why am I ashamed? But this is a long matter, so let me talk about it slowly." Liu Shouhua said: "Just speak slowly, I don't want to rush to listen." At this time, Yanxi had no choice but to tell Qingqiu and herself about their acquaintance and their marriage contract in detail from beginning to end.Liu Shouhua said: "No wonder your sister said that you are very good with a Miss Leng, so that's the case. What do you mean by calling me here? Do you want me to notify you?" Yanxi said: "It's not just a notification, we plan to I'm married, I hope you will tell the court to prepare some money for me." Liu Shouhua said: "Why is there such a hurry? Since you plan to get married now, you should have made it public long ago. Why do you do it so impromptu?" Yan Xidao: "At first I didn't plan to get married now. Because I want to get married suddenly now. So I have to come to ask you to intercede." Liu Shouhua said: "Why do you want to get married suddenly?" Yanxi laughed: "You are not talking nonsense When love comes to an end, this kind of phenomenon will naturally happen, what is there to be suspicious about?" Liu Shouhua looked at Yanxi's face, smiled, shook his head twice, and said: "A person like you, Talking about love like this again, saying that it is clean and there are no other problems, I don't believe it. Don't you make something wrong with your muddle?" Yanxi blushed and said, "What's wrong? Don't talk nonsense, Ms. Leng and I were started by friends, and then we behaved properly. When it comes to marriage, there are no improper procedures." Liu Shouhua said: "It's not that the procedures for your engagement are improper. I'm just afraid that after the engagement , everyone is more and more carefree, wouldn't it be troublesome?" Yanxi was silent after hearing what he said.Liu Shouhua said: "Speaking of conscience, have I already guessed your heart disease?" Yanxi said: "Everyone has their own difficulties. I can't say it. Anyway, everyone will know it afterwards. Now, I don't have any other requests, can you tell Fourth Sister to help the two old people." Liu Shouhua said: "This is a favor that I am happy to do, why not?" Yanxi said: "That's good The matter was a success, and I thank you very much." Liu Shouhua said: "You don't need to thank you, if you don't do well, just stop complaining." Then he questioned Qingqiu's temperament, talent and appearance and the situation of her family One is enough.From Yanxi's mouth, of course everything is good, and there is no criticism at all.Liu Shouhua said: "It's really good. I think the two old people have nothing to disagree with. However, in this way, that Ms. Bai Xiuzhu will lose the election. Don't you embarrass her very much now?" Yanxi laughed and said, "There's nothing embarrassing about it, we're still friends. In the current situation, a man has only one official wife. How can I comfort her?" Liu Shouhua laughed and said, "That's Of course, but I think Ms. Bai is always embarrassing, and you will inevitably offend someone." Yanxi said: "Are you talking about Xiuzhu's brother?" Liu Shouhua said: "It's irrelevant. His marriage to Xiuzhu , It's completely laissez-faire, it doesn't matter if you ask for it or not." Yanxi said: "Then who cares about this matter?" Liu Shouhua said: "Isn't your third sister-in-law really wanting to make your marriage perfect? No way!" Yanxi said: "When it comes to this level, it's not a problem. I believe that sister Yufen is at least equal between uncle and cousin. She can't just because I don't marry her cousin I'm sorry." Liu Shouhua said: "I don't think it's wrong to be surprised, but she was so happy that you completely dismissed it." Yanxi laughed and said, "It's a trivial matter, don't worry about it. It's just that sister Yufen is really unhappy, I I don't care too much." Liu Shouhua said: "Okay, I'll discuss it with your fourth sister. There is absolutely no way to be sure." Yanxi said: "When will you write me back?" Liu Shouhua said: " I haven't discussed a solution yet, how can I decide on a time to reply to your letter?" Yanxi smiled and said, "It's because I'm too impatient and I wish there would be an immediate result. Some letters back." Liu Shouhua stood up, patted Yanxi's shoulder with a smile, and said, "You are so impatient, kid." When Yanxi wanted to say something more, he had already left.

When Yanxi arrived at this time, she stopped going out to play.He took a novel and read it while lying on the couch. After reading a few pages, he couldn't read any more, so he dropped the book and came to where Daozhi lived.First, he walked past the window, as if he didn't intend to pass by here.But when he listened carefully, he did not hear Liu Shouhua's voice.So after walking over, I turned back again.Seeing Daozhi hugging his niece Beibei and making him laugh, he also accosted him and walked in to make the child laugh.After playing for a while, Yin asked, "Where's brother-in-law?" Dao Zhidao: "Didn't you call him away?" Yanxi said: "Yes. But he only said a few words, and he left early." Dao Zhidao: "I went there at that time, and I haven't returned yet." Seeing that Shouhua was not here, Yanxi said a few gossips and left.In the evening, after dinner, I ran to the corridor outside the Taoist House.Daozhi heard Yanxi cough slightly in the room, and said, "Isn't that Lao Qi? What are you doing walking around outside?" Yanxi said: "Nothing, where is brother-in-law?" Daozhi said: "I didn't come back What?" Yanxi heard that Liu Shouhua was not here.and left.Daozhi saw that there was no sound outside the window, so he didn't say anything.

Liu Shouhua didn't come back until twelve o'clock.When Daozhi saw him enter the door, he asked, "Did you promise to do anything for Lao Qi?" Liu Shouhua looked at his wife's face first, and then asked, "Why did you ask this question?" Daozhi said: "Lao Qi is like an ant on a hot stone. He came to me three or four times today, only asking if you came? He refused to tell why." Liu Shouhua stomped his feet and said, "Oh! I forgot about him. That's it." After speaking, he laughed again and said, "This kid is really in a hurry, how can he do it so quickly?" Dao Zhidao: "What is it? Probably because there is an urgent meeting, and there is a shortage of money I want you to plan for him, right?" Shouhua said: "Money? This matter is more urgent than asking for money." Yin sat down and explained in detail what Yanxi said. Say.Dao Zhidao: "So that's the case. As long as he is willing, there is nothing wrong with it. But what about this girl?" Liu Shouhua said: "According to him, it is naturally rare in the sky and hard to find in the ground. But he said you The fifth and sixth younger sisters have all seen each other, and they are very appreciative." Dao Zhidao: "If Minzhi and Runzhi are all appreciative, it won't be too bad. Let me ask first before I explain." Liu Shouhua said: "Minzhi has been to someone's house before. You'd better ask her. But you have to tell Fifth Younger Sister that you should not go out before you talk to the two old people. If Zhang Yang goes out, if he doesn't succeed, Lao Qi's face is very unattractive. And Miss Bai will laugh at him. This is what he can't stand." Dao Zhi smiled and said: "I don't know about this? Just take advantage of this night when there is no one, I'll go and talk to her." So she got up and went to Min Zhi's room.

It was past one o'clock.When Minzhi and Runzhi came back from watching a movie, they cooked a small pot of wheat flour porridge on the stove and sat down to eat.On the table was a plate of radish with oil and vinegar, a plate of mixed king melon slices, a plate of fresh asparagus, and a plate of snowflake sugar, all of which were delicious.Daozhi first raised a corner of the door curtain, took a look, walked in and said with a smile, "You guys are really comfortable. At this time, you still have dinner." ?" Daozhi saw a red gold ear pick sticking out of Ah Nan's head, so he took it off, wiped the tip of the needle with the handkerchief, poked it in the plate, and also poked a piece of asparagus, He tilted his head, sent it to his mouth and ate it.Smiling: "It's very good, crispy and fragrant." Runzhi said: "You want to eat another one, so you can praise it like this. Actually, asparagus is not fragrant." Daozhi said: "Asparagus is not delicious. Smell, it’s always delicious when made. I like this fresh asparagus. Don’t say it’s for eating, just look at its thin strips and green color, it’s interesting.” Runzhi flicked his chopsticks Guapian smiled and said: "This is also green, why don't you say it is good?" Dao Zhidao: "Why not? I just love its color, but I don't care about eating it. This is called the art of eating, do you believe it? Don't believe my words?" Runzhi said: "Eating is eating, drinking is drinking, what kind of food should be artistic?" Min Zhi said with a smile: "That's true, you can't call her nonsense. I often go to Dong'an Market, and I see those fruit stalls piled up with large and small fruits, which are very beautiful. Moreover, there is a faint fruit fragrance, which is very pleasant." Daozhi applauded: " That's right. I had this feeling for a long time, I didn't say it, I let you say it. As for the best display, I think it will be after September. At that time, all the fruits are almost ready." Min Zhidao: "What do you think is the most beautiful?" Dao Zhidao: "Of course it is a big apple, and the spherical watermelon is also good-looking. In addition, there are papaya, bergamot, tangerine, and orange. Pears are not very interesting, and persimmons are good in color. The shape is not elegant." Min Zhi said: "How about the grapes?" Dao Zhi said: "A whole bunch of rose-purple grapes, with some fresh green leaves, that would be good." Min Zhi said: "The color of the crabapple fruit is very similar to that of an apple. It's so small that it's interesting." Dao Zhi said: "Probably not very good-looking, it's bananas." Run Zhi said: "The fourth sister came here in the middle of the night to discuss whether the fruit looks good or not. ?" Dao Yi said with a smile: "Of course not." Stretching out two fingers, he made an introduction first.
