Xu Miaojin was a little scared of this environment and suggested: "These wax figures make me feel scared. It's cold outside. Let's go back first."

Xiang Yixuan smiled bitterly and said: "If I had known this, why did I bother to come over in the first place?"

"People know it now." Xu Miaojin said quietly, "It turns out that Brother Xiang has always pretended to be Sister Jingshu."

Xiang Yixuan shook his head helplessly and returned to the building first: "Ever since I first met her at the Korean Government Palace that day, I have been deeply impressed by her, and I still remember her vividly when I think about it. But she was not that good at that time.

It was a love between a man and a woman, and it wasn’t until I saw her again two years later that I really felt that we were destined.”

Xu Miaojin said in surprise: "Two years later? Didn't she already leave the capital by then? How did Brother Xiang see her?"

Xiang Yixuan returned to the room where the wax figure of Li Jingshu leaning against the window and holding a scroll was placed, and explained: "It was also a coincidence that I was hunted down in the capital and fled all the way out of the city to Jiangpu. Fortunately, I was rescued and ended up in her Hongyi House.

It was a wonderful afternoon spent in the boudoir.”

Lan Qiao asked curiously: "Si Miao has a great career in the capital, but who else dares to brush Simiao's tiger beard?"

"I'm so proud of you, Mrs. Huaiyuan. No matter how rich my family is, I will still be powerless. How can I compare to those powerful and evil young masters in the court?" Xiang Yixuan sighed: "The Hu Weiyong case had just happened not long ago.

Even his senior brother had to keep his tail between his legs. Li Jinglong took the opportunity to grow bigger. Taking advantage of Cao Guogong's honorable status, he supported the underworld in the capital and made huge fortunes by robbing big families. He was known as the top tyrant in the capital. His family was so strict that he could not bear the humiliation.

I committed suicide, and it was only through my skill that I managed to escape from the capital with a narrow escape."

Xu Miaojin was even more curious: "But Sister Jingshu was only thirteen years old at that time. How could she save Brother Xiang?"

"At that time, I was in a panic. I didn't know that I had arrived in front of Hongyi House. I climbed over the wall from the backyard, found a door and opened it. She was sitting here without changing her expression. She didn't ask who I was, and she didn't chase me away.

Get out." Xiang Yixuan looked at the wax figure who was sitting on the couch and concentrating on reading, and continued: "The thieves came after them, and Mr. Hongyi stepped forward to stop them. But they said that it was a personal grudge against me and had nothing to do with Mr. Hongyi, so they asked him not to stop them.

"

Lan Qiao sighed softly and said: "Mr. Hongyi is a person on the scene. People in the open do not do secret things, and they have no real power in the government. This kind of thing is really difficult to manage."

"She only said one sentence at that time to resolve my crisis." Xiang Yixuan recalled the danger and tension at that time, but couldn't help laughing, as bright as Chunhui today: "She said, Mr. Xiang

He is my fiancé, and his matter is of course related to my Hongyi House. The thieves were speechless to refute, and they did not dare to attack Mr. Hongyi, so they had to leave in despair."

"No wonder, no wonder." Lan Qiao shook his head and exclaimed, "No wonder Simiao has been obsessed with the beauty since then and can no longer be separated from her."

"Oh, what's the use of that?" Xiang Yixuan patted Lan Qiao's shoulder and said with some melancholy: "With such a romantic relationship, I recognized her at that time and wanted to give her the jade pendant passed down from my family.

The profound meaning is self-evident.”

Xu Miaojin's eyes fell on the jade hanging around Xiang Yixuan's waist, and she didn't know whether she was happy or regretful and said: "Marriage is a matter of great importance, and the matchmaker is ordered by the parents. Sister Jingshu has known the rules since she was a child, so she would not be able to do such a private thing."

Things that are taught and received from each other.”

"That was the first time I showed my love to her." Xiang Yixuan moved slowly and said as he walked: "Although she saved me that day, she was very cold to me later. I came to thank her several times, but she didn't She was willing to meet her once, but it wasn’t until a year later that I was allowed to see her outside the window.”

He led everyone back to the room where the wax figure of the piano was placed: "At that time, she was sitting in the room playing the piano, and I stood outside the window and listened quietly. Neither of us spoke, but I seemed to hear her thoughts from between her strings. .”

Lan Qiao lamented: "Her family has experienced great changes, so she feels sad. But she is by no means the kind of weak woman who only cares about herself and feels sorry for herself. Although I can't hear Miss Li's music at that time, I can still guess a thing or two. She must be He added the strong voice of Iron Horse Glacier to the tragic melody of heartbreak to express his disapproval of the late emperor's actions."

He looked back at Hua Yuxi and saw that the latter was looking at him with bright eyes, seeming to agree with his point of view: "Hua Yuxi knows music well, so you should understand what I want to say."

"Although Huaiyuan was not present, she seemed to be there and admired her." Xiang Yixuan nodded repeatedly, "That was indeed the case at that time. I also seemed to see hope because she was finally willing to open her heart to me. I left that day At that time, I left the jade pendant in front of her door, but she did not refuse."

"Is this Brother Simiao's second expression of love?" Lan Qiao stared blankly at the wax figure playing the piano in front of him. The scene when he first met Li Jingshu at Xu Qiuyu Yaolu seemed to reappear: "It seems that Miss Li's family is also the same. I was slowly moved by Simiao's sincerity."

"It's a pity that since that time, whether I came to ask for a visit or asked someone to give me a gift, she never accepted it." Xiang Yixuan shook his head and said, "I thought about it and thought that she didn't want to talk to me like this. We had a secret tryst along the way, so in the 26th year of Hongwu, we asked a matchmaker to come to our house with heavy gifts to propose marriage."

"At that time, this incident almost caused a sensation in the capital. I heard that Mr. Hongyi and Princess Lin'an were also very satisfied with Brother Xiang." Xu Miaojin seemed to complain on his behalf: "Isn't Sister Jingshu unwilling?"

"Perhaps this is called falling flowers with intention, and flowing water with no mercy." Xiang Yixuan led everyone back to the original room, pointed at the wax figure standing at the door and saluted, and said: "She saluted and apologized to me, and then put me on the Her jade pendant from those two years was returned intact. I didn't hear from her again for the next seven years, and I didn't see her again until I was in Yueyang last year."

Lan Qiao thought to herself that Li Jingshu had left home alone since she was sixteen years old, and Xiang Yixuan would never see her again. According to what Li Qi said, the reason why Li Jingshu left home was because she was dissatisfied with Li Qi's arrangement for her marriage, so according to the time , the other party in this marriage is most likely Xiang Yixuan.

However, Li Jingshu herself did not agree with this arrangement. When the two parties started arguing, she ran away from home to fight against the imposed fate.

He didn't say anything when he thought of this, he just said calmly: "No wonder Simiao was so excited at the auction in Yueyang and fought with the people of the Yueyang Water Sect."

Xiang Yixuan seemed to be unable to let go of that past incident, and said angrily: "She is a golden person. What a noble status she has. Even if the person she likes is not me, how can anyone judge her and make a transaction?"

Xu Miaojin didn't know what the two were talking about, so she asked curiously, so Lan Qiao patiently told her briefly about Yueyang Leng Yuexuan.

"Brother Xiang just said that even if the person he likes is not me, does Brother Xiang know who Sister Jingshu's sweetheart is?" Xu Miaojin was keenly aware of the implication in Xiang Yixuan's words and asked: "When she refused the marriage, could it be

Because of that person?"

"She has never hidden this from me." Xiang Yixuan walked to the door. When everyone followed him out, he closed the door of Zhulou again. "On the day of the proposal, I think the reason why she was willing to come to see me was besides

In order to return the jade pendant to me, she also wanted to tell me personally that she has someone in her heart and asked me not to disturb her anymore."
