The morning light is shining, and the sky is clear.
Outside the Qian Mansion.
There was a simple carriage parked, and Qian Xi'er and Xiao Xiang stood beside the carriage.
Qian Xier's face was very unhappy and she was complaining: "It's so slow. Why doesn't that person named Hu come?"
Seeing that Qian Xi'er was angry, Xiaoxiang hurriedly suggested: "Miss, how about I help you get on the carriage, sit down and wait slowly?"
Qian Xi'er rejected it: "Forget it! Wait a minute!"
"Drive -" the horse shouted, but Hu Yuanan was seen galloping over on a black horse.
"Hey--" In the blink of an eye, the black horse had reached Qian Xi'er's side. Hu Yuanan tightened the reins and turned over hastily to dismount.
"I came down late and kept Miss Qian waiting for a long time." Hu Yuanan smiled apologetically and saluted with clasped fists.
"You bastard!" Qian Xi'er cursed angrily in her heart before speaking slowly, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I thought you wouldn't come! Just come, just come!"
Hu Yuanan hurriedly laughed: "Miss Qian invited me, how dare I not come?"
"Master Hu, please!"
"Miss Qian please!"
Qian Xier and Hu Yuanan got into the carriage and sat down one behind the other.
Xiaoxiang immediately got into the car and drove forward slowly.
Inside the carriage...
Hu Yuanan stared at Qian Xi'er and asked, "I wonder where Miss Qian is going to invite you?"
Qian Xi'er smiled sweetly: "That's right, one of my good sisters heard that I have a crush on you. She was very curious and wanted to see what kind of man you are that I would be attracted to."
Hu Yuanan responded casually: "Oh."
Qian Xi'er explained: "You have to know that I once vowed to marry that handsome young man with strong martial arts skills. Therefore, in order to find a suitable husband for me, my eldest brother holds a ceremony at my house every month.
There was a competition to select the so-called number one martial arts master for me to be my partner. However, over a long period of time, seventeen or eight of the so-called number one martial arts masters were selected, but I didn’t even look at any of these people.
Go ahead and kick me out of the house directly, you are the exception."
She said this, but she was complaining in her heart: "Actually, I also wanted to kick you out of the house directly, but my eldest brother put pressure on me, and I was forced to have no choice!"
Hu Yuanan smiled bitterly: "Thanks to Miss Qian's love, but I am not an exception, right? Miss Qian said angrily and harshly last night, saying that you will only marry me if I beat you, otherwise there will be no chance. Look
The girl who came to pay me money doesn’t really want to marry me in her heart.”
Qian Xier followed the trend and asked with a straight face: "If that's the case, why don't you give up on me?"
Hu Yuanan said seriously and solemnly: "There is only one reason, and that is because I really like you!"
Qian Xi'er couldn't help but smile happily: "Looking at your serious appearance, even though it's sweet words, I also like to hear them."
Hu Yuanan flattened his mouth and said to himself: "I told you last night that I really like you, but you gave me a fierce look at that time and said something you didn't like and didn't want to hear.
You said your smooth and sweet words, telling me not to talk too much, but today when you said them, you smiled so happily and said you liked them, you are really a woman's heart, like a needle in the sea!"
Seeing Hu Yuanan deep in thought and silent, Qian Xier couldn't help but ask: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh." Hu Yuanan came back to his senses and hurriedly answered, "Nothing, nothing."
Qian Xi'er rolled her eyes and asked strangely: "I said, why do you like me? Because I'm pretty? Because my family is rich and powerful? Or some other reason?"
Hu Yuanan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you are rich or powerful. Being beautiful is indeed one of the reasons that attracted me, but more importantly, it was love at first sight."
"She's pretty good at talking."
"It's all telling the truth."
"Let me ask you, don't you think I'm overbearing? It was the first time we met, and I was very rude to you!"
"If that's the case, it's not that Miss Qian is arrogant. It's really my fault. It's me who should give way to Miss Qian. After being enlightened by Miss Qian, I have taken the initiative to admit my mistake. The fault is mine, not Miss Qian's. You can't count money."
The girl is arrogant."
"I don't even know how to wash and cook!"
"It doesn't matter. I can teach slowly and you can learn slowly. It doesn't matter if you don't learn."
"I have clothes to stretch out my hands, and I have food to open my mouth!"
"It doesn't matter. I am a man and you are a woman. It is natural for a husband to take care of his wife."
"I'm impressed by you, you are really eloquent."
“Nothing glib!”
The carriage suddenly stopped...
Xiaoxiang opened the car curtain and said: "Miss, Mr. Hu, we are here."
Qian Xier and Hu Yuanan nodded and dismounted.
Xianghua Tower.
This is not an inn, a restaurant, or a brothel, but a flower shop, a flower shop.
When a maid saw Qian Xi'er, she rushed out with a smile, nodded and bowed and said: "Miss Qian is finally here, hurry up and invite her to the private room upstairs!"
The maid led the three people upstairs and outside a room, and then retreated with Xiaoxiang.
Qian Xi'er pushed the door open and saw a banquet table and a girl in red.
Qian Xier pointed at the girl in red and introduced to Hu Yuanan: "This is the owner of Xianghua Tower and my good sister - Sun Xiaoling."
Sun Xiaoling hurriedly stood up to greet her: "You are finally here, please take a seat!"
Qian Xi'er and Hu Yuanan sat down generously, and Sun Xiaoling followed suit. After looking at Hu Yuanan, she said to Qian Xi'er: "Sister Xi'er, is this the young master you are dating?"
Qian Xi'er nodded and said, "Exactly, his name is Hu Yuanan. Sister Xiaoling, what do you think of him?"
Sun Xiaoling cast her admiring gaze on Hu Yuanan and said with a smile: "With his talent, he is truly a man among men!"
Hu Yuanan smiled sheepishly: "Miss Sun, you deserve the award."
"Young Master Hu, please don't be modest." Sun Xiaoling winked at Hu Yuanan, and then smiled coquettishly at Qian Xi'er, "Congratulations to Xi'er, you are such a talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine, hahaha
…”
Hu Yuanan smiled so sweetly that he was so mesmerized that he didn't realize that Qian Xi'er also smiled, but Qian Xi'er smiled very strangely.
Sun Xiaoling suddenly said to Hu Yuanan: "Those who can get along with Xi'er sister must be people with strong martial arts skills, but I wonder if Mr. Hu can still..."
Before Sun Xiaoling could finish her words, Hu Yuanan had already taken over and said, "I only know a little bit about piano skills when it comes to chess, calligraphy and painting."
"Okay!" Sun Xiaoling clapped her hands and stood up immediately, "I'll go get the piano right now!"
As soon as he said he was leaving, Sun Xiaoling left without saying anything.
Hu Yuanan said to Qian Xi'er: "Xi'er, do you like piano music?"
Qian Xi'er stared, raised her face and said, "What did you call me? Did you call me Xi'er too?"
Hu Yuanan was embarrassed for a while and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, Miss Qian, Miss Qian!"
Qian Xi'er smiled with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it. As for piano music, if you play it well, I will naturally like it."
Hu Yuanan said confidently: "I will definitely play well!"
While the two were talking, Sun Xiaoling had already brought the piano.
Hu Yuanan cleared away the food and wine on the table to make room.
Sun Xiaoling put the piano away and sat with Qian Xi'er, waiting for the good news.
Hu Yuanan smiled slightly, pressed the strings with both hands, moved his fingers lightly, and the sound of the piano began leisurely.
The sound of the piano floats out like a gentle breeze...
The sound of the piano flows out slowly like running water...
It makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze...
It makes people feel like bathing in warm current...
Qian Xi'er and Sun Xiaoling felt that they were drifting with the wind and flowing with the water, which was wonderful.
After playing the song, Hu Yuanan asked: "How are you two? My piano..."
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, Hu Yuanan suddenly fell down and lay on the piano, motionless.
Qian Xi'er quickly stood up and said: "Sister Xiaoling, quickly, take out the incense and put it out!"
Sun Xiaoling bent down and took out half of the still burning black incense from under the table, and poked it into the wine glass.
Whoosh——
The black incense was extinguished immediately and was left in the wine glass by Sun Xiaoling.
"Huh..." Seeing this, Qian Xi'er finally took a long breath and relaxed her whole body.
Sun Xiaoling smiled and said: "This incense is colorless and odorless. Besides, I have already given you the antidote to this incense. Why, you still can't stand it?"
Qian Xier pursed her lips and said, "No, I felt dizzy and uncomfortable. I'm much better now."
Sun Xiaoling asked: "What should we do next?"
Qian Xi'er rolled her eyes and said: "Why do you ask such a stupid question? Of course I will follow the plan!"
Sun Xiaoling had a look of embarrassment on her face, as if she had something to say, but she hesitated.
Qian Xi'er couldn't help but asked: "Sister Xiaoling, what's wrong with you?"
Sun Xiaoling looked solemn and said seriously: "Sister Xi'er, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not?"
Qian Xi'er waved her hands cheerfully: "When did Sister Xiaoling become such a mother-in-law? Why are you so polite to me? Just say what you have to say!"
"Then let me tell you, sister Xi'er, according to my sister, this Hu Yuanan is pretty good!"
"What do you mean?"
"It means you can consider being with him!"
"Oh, when did Sister Xiaoling learn to read faces? How long have you been getting along with this guy named Hu? But it was the first time we met, and with just a few words, you could tell he was pretty good?"
Sun Xiaoling said very seriously: "The first feeling is good. My feeling is generally not wrong."
Qian Xi'er spread her hands: "I won't be with him anyway, never!"
Sun Xiaoling said earnestly and sincerely: "Sister Xi'er, if you find the right one, you should get married!"
Qian Xi'er's expression changed and she pouted: "I came to you to advise you to reject him, but why are you nagging like my elder brother to bring us together?"
Sun Xiaoling said solemnly: "We are all doing this for your own good!"
Qian Xier waved her hand: "Stop it, stop talking, I don't like it anyway, if you like it, just take it!"
"Really?" Sun Xiaoling's face was filled with joy, and she was actually a little overjoyed.
Qian Xi'er was startled: "What, Sister Xiaoling, do you like him?"
Sun Xiaoling remained silent and nodded silently.
"Hahaha..." Qian Xi'er burst out laughing with an indifferent expression, "I didn't expect Sister Xiaoling to fall in love with him. Whether it's true or not, I'll leave it to you anyway, so you can do whatever you want!"
After Qian Xi'er finished speaking, she walked away feeling proud. (To be continued)
