Half a month later, Liuyun Pavilion, study.
"Come out." Xie Weixing said to the empty study in a calm tone as he picked up a book and sat on the small couch by the window.
After the words fell, a man dressed all in black appeared out of nowhere, knelt on one knee in front of Xie Weixing, and said in a flat voice: "I have met the Pavilion Master."
"Where is he?" Xie Weixing said without raising his eyes to the man's sudden appearance, still expressionless.
The man in black lowered his head and replied: "The man is already under control."
Xie Weixing nodded slightly and said nothing more. The man in black also disappeared like the wind, and it was as if nothing had ever happened in the study. Xie Weixing looked at the book in his hand, touched his forehead and sighed: "It seems that I will have no more leisure in the future..." The voice gradually faded away with the evening breeze outside the window, and the only response to him was the swaying shadows of the trees.
…
A few days later, Xie Weixing wore a pair of wooden clogs and leisurely came to the elegant room of Qingfeng Building. He still had the same jade bottle and green bamboo leaves, sitting on the small couch by the window, boredly admiring the most lively street scene in the capital. .
After finishing the bottle, it was almost noon. I looked down casually and saw a sudden movement of figures on the street. The show is on.
Xie Weixing's subordinates were never in trouble, so as long as he wanted to deal with Xu Qianheng's fled young master, he would definitely not be able to escape. It's just that this one in a million chance was still encountered by him...
Even though they were far apart, that slender hand still caught his attention. To stop Young Master Xu's nonsense, he took out three taels of silver, then turned around and left. This series of actions was so straightforward that even Xie Weixing was unwilling to interrupt. Mother Di wanted to stop her, but her confident words made him couldn't help but curl his lips and sent a message from thousands of miles away, causing Mother Di to give up the mission. After asking about the shadow around him, he realized that the woman just now was actually Miss Su Wu whom he had rescued! Ten days ago, this little girl was still unconscious in bed, but now she seems to be in good health. Thinking back to the bet he made with those three on the day he came back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xie Weixing rarely showed a trace of curiosity on his face, so he sent someone to invite Miss Su Wu over.
When Xie Weixing saw Su Liuyuan for the first time, it was difficult for Xie Weixing to associate her with the Fifth Miss when he rescued her that day. Because he remembered that when he rescued Su Liuyuan, she had opened her eyes and glanced at him, but the expression in her eyes was timid. When she passed out, she was still relaxed and carefree. When he checked her pulse again, it was extremely weird, intermittent, and very weak. Fortunately, she was saved in the end. The Su Liuyuan in front of her now seemed to have been completely transformed, as cold as a small plum blossom about to bloom in the snow.
Xie Weixing couldn't help but want to tease her, so he pretended to be casual and mentioned the incident that saved her life ten days ago. He understood that as long as it was a woman, she would be delighted when she found out that he was Xie Weixing, at least that was the case for the women he had seen before. However, after hearing this, Su Liuyuan finally just bowed down to him and that was it. Hearing that she was leaving, Xie Weixing's heart moved slightly, but then he became as calm as water again. Watching her leave, he summoned Shadow and asked him to protect the young master of the Xu family. In fact, he was thinking in his heart, what would happen if this fifth lady bought the young master Xu who pretended to be a man disguised as a woman? In my heart, I was vaguely looking forward to Shadow's next report.
Shadow did not disappoint him.
After Su Liuyuan returned, he found out the identity of the boy from the Xu family. According to Shadow, it was the boy who confessed it himself. After that, Su Liuyuan asked the boy to continue to dress up as a woman and act as her maid. However, a few days later, Shadow's report shocked him greatly. Even Shadow showed his admiration for the woman when reporting.
Xie Weixing waved the shadow down and hid alone in the darkness. He was always too lazy to do some things and too lazy to pay attention to some people. But now, he suddenly had the urge to get to know someone, and he took the initiative himself. This made Xie Weixing surprised at his own thoughts.
According to Su Huanqing, his fifth sister had rarely left Su's house since she was a child. She was timid and cowardly. Even when she saw strangers, she would just avoid them. However, the fifth young lady of the Su family he met and knew had a temperament as cold as a calm and deep lake, without any ripples.
In this, what did Su Huanqing and himself miss
The long scroll in his hand is the bits and pieces recorded by Shadow on the woman: When Chenshi got up, after washing up, he would occasionally prepare breakfast with the maid. At this time, he began to teach the young master thirty-six strategies. Today's content is the first plan and the second plan: to hide from the sky and cross the sea, to surround Wei and save Zhao. Each story is explained with a story. After the story is told, the young master is guided to think about the truth and question the doubtful points. Each story takes about an hour to explain. After the young master understands it, it is time for the middle of the day. After lunch, the young master rested for half an hour. After getting up, he practiced martial arts. After dinner, Mr. Xu was given homework.
This is just the simplest record, and there are details on the back including all the conversations between the woman, her maid, and Xu Xiaozi. Xie Weixing put away the long scroll, stood up and looked in the direction of the Su Mansion. He didn't know what he thought of, and smiled slightly.
Over the past few days, what Xie Weixing thought about most was the words and deeds of the woman in Su Mansion. So that one day when it was completely dark, he couldn't help but peeped. He lay on the beam of the woman's house and watched the woman teach Mr. Xu how to behave. He actually had the urge to go and listen to her lecture.
Several times after that, he became a "gentleman on the beam". This gradually out-of-control behavior troubled him, and even Shao Jing, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but persuade himself.
In order to soothe his emotions, Xie Weixing slowly came to Ruyifang this day. The jade in this shop is one of the best in the capital, and naturally the boss behind it is also very nice.
When the shopkeeper saw that it was Xie Weixing, he invited his boss to come out and meet him in person. The boss had a very good look in his eyes. Seeing Xie Weixing's languid expression, he changed his mind and said to him with a smile: "It's a coincidence that Mr. Xie is here today. I got a treasure recently. Do you want to take a look?"
Xie Weixing lazily raised his eyes and looked at the boss before nodding slightly. The boss winked and asked the waiter on the side to come out with a long and narrow wooden box. After the boss took it, he carefully opened the wooden box and saw a carved coral hairpin lying inside.
It’s indeed a good thing! Xie Weixing narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to pick it up and take a closer look.
"Do you think it would be beautiful if she wore it?" Xie Weixing looked at it for a long time before slowly asking Shao Jing beside him.
Shao Jing's brows jumped and he quickly said: "Probably... yes." But he couldn't help but think to himself: I don't know how much money this hairpin will cost...
"Well, let's pretend." A smile appeared on the corner of Xie Weixing's mouth. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he was in an extremely good mood. The boss was very happy when he saw that Xie Weixing bought it without thinking. He put the hairpin into the box and wrapped it himself.
At this time, a well-dressed girl wearing a veil stepped in. When the girl saw Xie Weixing in the store, she couldn't help but be stunned. Her eyes became increasingly happy. She took off her veil, walked forward slowly and was three steps away from Xie Weixing and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Xie. Yuzhu is polite."
Xie Weixing saw Su Mingzhu nodding slightly, with the joyful expression still on his face: "Miss Su, are you okay?"
Su Mingzhu never thought that Xie Weixing would pay attention to her, but unexpectedly he answered her anyway, and she was even more excited. She tried hard to suppress the excitement, and showed what she thought was the most beautiful smile and said: "Young Master Xie cares about you. Everything is fine with Mingzhu. Mr. Xie is here just to buy something?"
Su Mingzhu's question was quite simple. Those who would come in here would naturally be shopping. Normally, Xie Weixing would have ignored it and left it to Shao Jing behind him to handle it. However, Xie Weixing was very patient at this time: "Well, let's buy some things. Mr. Xu, if Miss Su likes it in your store today, Whatever, just write it down in the Weixing account. Miss Su, you're welcome." After saying that, he smiled slowly, stretched his sleeves, and left leisurely.
Watching his master leave without saying anything like this, Shao Jing felt aggrieved and spent a lot of money for no reason...
Xie Weixing had no memory that he had just given a great hope to a girl who was raised in a boudoir and had long been in love with him. In the end, he shattered this hope with his own hands and ruined the girl's lifelong expectations. And only Shao Jing beside him knew this. In fact, the master at that time didn't take this matter to heart at all. Really, he didn't take it to heart at all...
