After Su Fengnuan squeezed out of the crowd, he walked not far away and saw Ye Chang at a corner of the dark street.
He stood there, half of his figure was bright in the bright place, and half was hidden in the dark. When the light hit him, half of it became brighter and brighter, and the other half was extremely dim.
Su Fengnuan came to him and stood still, seeing that his face was not very good-looking.
Seeing her coming, Ye Chang looked at her, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said coldly, "Xu Yunchu put up a lottery on the roof to lure you into the bait, and he really put in all his time for you."
Su Fengnuan looked at him and rolled his eyes, "What are you doing so weirdly? Which woman didn't he put all his heart into?"
Ye Chang sneered when he heard the words, "He hasn't paid much attention to any woman since he was a child, all the peach blossoms chased after him, and when Uncle Xiaoguo waved his hand, countless peach blossoms flocked to him."
Su Fengnuan laughed, looked at him speechless for a moment, and explained, "The reason why he tried his best to lure me into the bait is because he followed me secretly when he sent you back to Beijing that day, and I set up a formation to stop him halfway. Stop it. He probably vaguely guessed that I was inseparable from the sinking of the East Lake painting boat, so he grabbed me and planned to interrogate me carefully."
Ye Chang's face turned pale, "I hope he doesn't have any unreasonable thoughts, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Seeing that he stopped talking, Su Fengnuan glared at him with a smile, "There are as many people who have unreasonable thoughts about me as crucian carp crossing the river. Even if he has, he won't be able to line up."
Ye Chang laughed immediately when he heard the words, changed his gloom, and was as gentle as the wind, "Yes, he is too attractive for peach blossoms, and Nuan Nuan doesn't like peach blossoms the most."
Su Fengnuan was speechless, rubbing his forehead, thinking about changing his face, Ye Chang is the best in the world, she is far behind. She turned around and looked at the busy city, "I just met your brothers, do you want to go find them?"
"No." Ye Chang shook his head bluntly, seeing that she was still looking at the downtown area, "Do you still want to continue shopping?"
"Walk around again." Su Fengnuan felt that it was still early, and he hadn't played much and hadn't enjoyed himself enough.
Ye Chang nodded, reached out to hold her hand, and stepped forward, "Then continue."
The two squeezed into the downtown again, wandering along a row of small stalls along the street.
Rouge and gouache, study treasures, KITKAT gadgets, pearl hairpins and hairpins, etc., are dazzling.
Su Fengnuan has seen these things in the rivers and lakes for many years, and feels nothing new. When she strolled around the downtown area, she just wanted to see the hustle and bustle of people.
The two walked along the street one after another, a total of nine streets. On the last street, in front of a stall, Su Fengnuan saw something, his eyes lit up, and he withdrew the hand held by Ye Chang, immediately He ran over and reached out to pick it up.
When she picked up the object, there happened to be a slender hand reaching out to take the object, but unfortunately, she was not as fast as Su Fengnuan's, and Su Fengnuan took it into his hand first.
After Su Fengnuan took the object in his hand, he also found the hand stretched out beside him. Looking along the slender hand, he saw a woman.
This woman was covered with a veil, with a slender figure, a faint plum fragrance on her body, and a beautiful and gorgeous dress. She looked very young. Standing there, she was gentle and dignified, soft and extravagant, a very ladylike lady.
Beside her was a servant girl who was dressed better than ordinary girls, her back was straight and her appearance was pretty.
Su Fengnuan blinked.
Seeing that she took the jade wrench away first, the servant girl immediately said loudly, "Girl, the thing you got in your hand was the first thing my young lady saw."
Su Fengnuan raised her eyebrows slightly, only to realize that she hadn't taken off her face scarf since she came down from the rooftop. She smiled and asked, "Did your lady pay?"
The maid choked, "My lady has stood here for a cup of tea, she just likes it."
Su Fengnuan looked at her, "That is to say, you haven't paid yet? You didn't pay for a cup of tea, and you didn't pay for your fancy. This finger ring doesn't belong to your lady, right?"
The maid was speechless to refute, and looked at her young lady.
The woman was looking at Su Fengnuan at this time, and saw that she was wearing a simple and elegant dress, the material was not expensive, it was very ordinary, and the style was also very simple, her face was also covered with a veil, which was different from her covering her entire head , she only covered her face, revealing a pair of eyes, these eyes are extremely beautiful, as if they can penetrate people's hearts, but they look extremely clear, but if you look carefully, you find that the inside is very deep, as if you can't see to the bottom.
She stood in a casual posture and her breath was idle. She took the jade wrench finger in her hand, twisted it between her two fingers, and then played with it casually, as if she didn't know its value at all.
The woman was silent for a moment, looked at the jade wrench in Su Fengnuan's hand, and said to her, "This girl also wants this jade wrench?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Yes."
The woman said again, "This jade wrench is expensive. If the girl is playing casually and not cherishing it like this, why don't you let me. I did have a cup of tea here."
Su Fengnuan looked at her, "You only made up your mind to want it after looking at a cup of tea, but I want it after just one look."
The woman was silent for a moment.
The maid quit and immediately said, "Why are you like this? Can you afford it? My lady..."
"Lingxiang, don't be rude." The woman scolded lightly.
The maid immediately shut her mouth.
Su Fengnuan looked at the master and servant, smiled, turned to the old man who set up the stall, "Old man, how much is this jade ring finger?"
The old man glanced at her and said to her, "Twenty thousand taels of silver."
Hearing this, Su Fengnuan looked down at the jade wrench in his hand, thinking that no wonder she didn't make a cup of tea after looking at it, it turned out that it was really not cheap.
Seeing her hesitation, the woman said softly, "Girl, you might as well give it to me."
Su Fengnuan didn't speak, and glanced quickly out of the corner of his eyes, and found that Ye Chang hadn't come over, but was standing in the distance, looking here.
At this time, the servant girl also saw Ye Chang not far away, and immediately stretched out her hand to grab the woman, and said anxiously, "Miss, look quickly, it's Ye Shizi."
The woman immediately turned her head to look. Although she was separated by the veil, judging from her emotions, she seemed to be extremely pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly stepped forward, then stopped, stared at Ye Chang, and shouted softly, " Ye... Ye Shizi?"
Ye Chang glanced at her leisurely, his eyes were calm and tasteless, and nodded.
The woman immediately said, "Ye Shizi... came to the night market alone? Didn't you go with anyone else?"
Ye Chang glanced at Su Fengnuan, seeing her looking at him with interest, his eyes shrank, and he said lightly, "No."
The woman was startled, and looked around, "Why didn't you see anyone else?"
Ye Chang was silent for a moment, and said, "I got separated."
The woman smiled and said cheerfully, "I fell in love with a jade wrench finger, thinking it would suit you very well, but I don't want to be preempted by others..."
Ye Chang suddenly laughed out of emotion, "It's hard for Miss Xu."
Xu Lingyi stretched out her hand to pinch the cuff, turned her head to Su Fengnuan, and said in a low voice, "Girl, I met someone I like. I planned to give this jade ring finger to him. Can you..."
Su Fengnuan looked at her, thinking that she was Xu Lingyi. Holding the curtain with sleeves and hands, the snow beats the plum blossoms, and the incense burner is not lit. To live up to the rumors.
Does she want to buy this wrench for Ye Chang
If she hadn't gone to Lingyun Temple to see the old monk's medicine, maybe she would have given it to her, but now...
She suddenly sneered, reached into her bosom, took out a stack of banknotes, and counted them in a hurry. After counting twenty thousand taels of banknotes, she handed them to the old man, "Please count."
Xu Lingyi's complexion changed.
The old man quickly picked it up, counted it again, and said with a smile, "Miss, twenty thousand taels, just right."
Su Fengnuan turned around and looked at Xu Lingyi. Through the thin veil and the lights of the downtown, she could see her extremely ugly face. She smiled and said to her seriously, "In my opinion, if you like someone and give him something, and you have money in your hand, you should see it at a glance and buy it as a gift without hesitation. Since you I watched a cup of tea, but I haven't started yet, which proves that I don't like it too much."
Xu Lingyi looked at her and said, "You are wrong, because you like it, and you are more cautious because you are afraid that he won't like it."
Su Fengnuan smiled when she heard the words, "You are right." After saying that, she reached out and pointed at Ye Chang, "You want to give it to him?"
Xu Lingyi bit her lip, seeing Ye Chang still standing in the distance with a calm expression.
At this time, it was already very late, the street was no longer so crowded, there were some people walking sparsely, and he just stood there, leisurely, as if the lights of the whole street were reflected by him, forming a A picture scroll is unparalleled in the world and crowns the world.
Xu Lingyi looked at Ye Chang, nodded unconsciously, "It's him."
Su Fengnuan looked at Ye Chang, played with his own jade wrench that had already been paid for, and said with a smile, "This jade wrench is really suitable for him. It is magnificent, young and romantic, unique and unparalleled in beauty. "
Xu Lingyi's face changed again when she heard her praise Ye Chang without restraint.
Su Fengnuan looked away and smiled at her, "Originally, I wanted to keep it for myself, but since I met the right person, I'll give it to him." After saying that, she walked towards Ye Chang.
Ye Chang watched Su Fengnuan walking towards him, his footsteps were brisk, his eyelashes moved, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't move.
Su Fengnuan came to Ye Chang's side in a few steps, reached out and took his hand beside him, spread it out, put the jade wrench finger in his hand, and said with a smile, "I'll see you off."
Xu Lingyi's face turned pale all of a sudden, and his body shook.
The servant girl immediately reached out to support her, opened her eyes wide, looked at Su Fengnuan in disbelief, and couldn't help shouting angrily, "You woman, you... why are you doing this? Obviously my lady is going to send... "
Su Fengnuan turned around, looked at the master and servant, and said with a smile, "Isn't your purpose just to give it to him? It's fine if he accepts it."
The maid choked, thinking that you would send it off to my young lady, could that be the case
But Su Fengnuan ignored them, and waved to Ye Chang with a smile, "Young master, you don't have to thank me." After saying that, she waved her hand freely, turned around and walked forward briskly.
Ye Chang stood on the spot, holding the jade wrench in his hand, motionless, he didn't know what he was thinking, but the whole person was quiet, not only became a painting, but also became a wooden stake.
The sparse stream of people passing by will all take a look at him, and the movement of others will take advantage of his stillness.
It seemed that after a long time, Su Fengnuan had disappeared, and Ye Chang's eyes moved, looking in the direction she left.
At this time, Xu Lingyi stepped forward and reluctantly said, "Ye Shizi, I didn't expect... she... you..."
Ye Chang turned around and looked at her.
Xu Lingyi looked at the jade wrench he was still holding in his hand, bit his lip, and changed his words, "Does Ye Shizi know her?"
Ye Chang's hand holding the jade wrench tightened tightly, and he didn't shake his head or nod.
Xu Lingyi looked at his expression and saw that he didn't seem to know the woman, so she said, "It looks like a Jianghu woman. I don't know what it means to give someone a jade wrench finger. Probably this is what the world often says about Jianghu people being impolite."
Ye Chang didn't speak.
Xu Lingyi asked again, "Since Ye Shizi doesn't know her, what do you do with this jade finger?"
Ye Chang lowered his head and spread out his palms. The jade fingers were crystal clear, as if there was gurgling water flowing inside, very delicate and vivid, trickling slowly, no wonder she caught her eyes, it really is a good thing, especially when held in the hand Inside, warm and cool, he pinched it with the other hand and put it on his fingers, the size was right.
People are like jade, and jade is like people.
Seeing his movements, Xu Lingyi's expression changed slightly.
Ye Chang looked down at the jade finger on his finger for a moment, raised his head, and smiled faintly at Xu Lingyi, "It's getting late, Miss Xu should go back earlier." After speaking, she followed the direction Su Fengnuan left, and walked towards Xu Lingyi. go forward.
He actually accepted the jade wrench without saying a word.
Xu Lingyi's complexion was already pale and clear, her eye circles were red, and there was mist overflowing from her eyes, she covered her eyes so that she couldn't see Ye Chang clearly through the veil. She bit her lip, almost biting her lips to bleed, her body trembling, she tore off her veil abruptly, and said loudly, "Ye Shizi, are you just accepting something from a woman you don't know? "
Ye Chang paused.
Xu Lingyi followed him a few steps, came behind him, stared at his back, and asked word by word, "Ye Shizi, that woman is so rude, she must not be the daughter of a good family who passed on poetry and etiquette. You are a quack, and you took her things, what should you do if you get entangled by her?"
Ye Chang suddenly turned his head, looked at Xu Lingyi, smiled coldly and indifferently, with a hint of flair, "Since I have accepted her things, if she is entangled, I will marry her."
Xu Lingyi swayed, like fallen leaves floating in the wind for a while, completely bloodless.
Ye Chang turned the jade ring finger on his finger, Qingyue's voice was soft and soft, "If this token of love can make us have a good relationship for a hundred years, I must thank Ms. Xu." After saying that, he turned and continued to walk forward .
Xu Lingyi's body softened.
The maid Lingxiang immediately stepped forward to support her, so that she would not fall down.
Ye Chang turned around the corner of the street without looking back, and disappeared.
Xu Lingyi's face was pale and gray, staring at the direction where Ye Chang disappeared, his eyes were gray. After a long time, she shook her body, tilted her head, and passed out.
Lingxiang was terrified, supported Xu Lingyi's body vigorously, and immediately shouted, "Come on, come on quickly."
In the distance, more than a dozen guards who followed Xu Lingyi immediately ran forward.
Lingxiang hurriedly said, "Miss fainted."
The guards looked at each other, and one of the guards said, "Uncle Xiao Guo is in a restaurant not far away, the villain is going to call Uncle Xiao Guo."
Lingxiang nodded and urged, "Go quickly."
The guard hurried away.
Not long after, Xu Yunchu came out of the restaurant, walked quickly to the front, glanced at Xu Lingyi, took her from Lingxiang's hand to support her, and felt her pulse. After a while, he asked, "What's going on?"
Lingxiang recounted what happened just now with red eye circles very angrily.
After hearing this, Xu Yunchu was slightly startled, "What kind of woman?"
Because Su Fengnuan was also covered with a veil, Lingxiang didn't see her appearance clearly, so she described Su Fengnuan's clothes.
After hearing this, Xu Yunchu's eyes flashed with surprise, his face became tense for a moment, and he asked carefully, "Did she really give that jade ring finger to... Ye Shizi?"
Lingxiang nodded, "Really, this servant can see clearly. She gave it away, and Ye Shizi took it. After the woman left, Ye Shizi said that if the token of love can make them a happy relationship for a hundred years, I would like to thank you miss. Miss couldn't bear it and fainted."
Xu Yunchu pursed his lips.
Lingxiang said angrily, "Miss has never been wronged like this, son, you have to make decisions for miss."
Xu Yunchu glanced at her, his face returned to normal, but his gentle voice was slightly harsh, "How many years have you been with Miss?"
Lingxiang was taken aback, and immediately replied respectfully, "Master, I have been with Miss for twelve years since I was a child..."
Xu Yunchu said to her, "If that woman hadn't appeared and she bought that jade ring finger and planned to give it to Ye Chang, if he accepted it, it would be a secret gift. If he didn't accept it, your lady would be even more embarrassing. As her personal maid, not only did you not remind her, but you even encouraged her to let her go. Do you know your mistake?"
Lingxiang heard the words and knelt down with a "plop", "My lord, but Ye Shizi took it. The girl gave it to him, and he didn't resist it, so he took it. He seemed to like that jade finger very much. If the lady gave it to him , he will also..."
"He won't." Xu Yunchu interrupted him, "Because that woman is not your lady."
Lingxiang immediately silenced.
Xu Yunchu said with a dark face, "You have been with your lady for many years, but have you ever seen Ye Chang treat her favorably? Every time he sees her, he doesn't have a good face, that's just dislike. Whether there is that woman or not, you should stop your lady." After a pause, he continued, "It's getting so late, you should have persuaded her to go back, and you shouldn't have been so late on the street."
Lingxiang's body trembled, and she heard that Xu Yunchu was angry, so she didn't dare to argue again, "I know I was wrong."
Xu Yunchu stopped looking at her, and said in a cold voice, "If there is another time, I will sell you out, and it will not be an example."
Lingxiang lowered her head in fear, "I will never dare again."
Xu Yunchu looked at the guard and asked, "Where is the carriage?"
The guard immediately said, "It's parked at the corner of the street."
Xu Yunchu hugged Xu Lingyi, and walked towards the carriage parked at the corner of the street. After getting into the carriage, he put Xu Lingyi down. He remembered something and told a guard, "Go and tell Mr. Say I have something to do, go back first."
The guard should be, and hurried to go.
Xu Yunchu ordered the driver to drive the carriage, and the carriage headed towards Lingyun Temple.
In the restaurant not far away, the lights are brightly lit, tonight is special, the restaurant is full of people, and the entire Lingyun Town is equivalent to the city that never sleeps.
Chen Chen, Shen Qi, Qi Shu and others ordered a lot of delicious food and wine, and drank to their heart's content.
Although they didn't like Xu Yunchu, they didn't like Xu Yunchu, but they weren't so disgusted that they didn't say anything when they met each other. They didn't have good friendship, but they didn't step on him. Especially because of the special situation encountered today, the statement wanted to find out about the woman from him, so he took him to have a drink together.
During the banquet, Dao also talked and laughed at Yan Yan, and had a good talk.
Halfway through the meal, the guards from the head of the state came and Xu Yunchu hurried away. Everyone was curious about what happened, so they followed them to inquire quietly.
When the guards sent by Xu Yunchu came to inform everyone, the inquirer also came back quietly. After the guards left, the inquirer whispered, "The slave did not dare to approach for fear that Uncle Xiaoguo would find out. It seems that Miss Xu passed out in the street. Uncle Xiaoguo took Miss Xu back to Lingyun Temple."
"Oh? It's so late, and Xu Lingyi is still on the street?" Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did she faint? What happened?"
The man shook his head, "Uncle Xiaoguo scolded the servant girl, but the servant didn't hear clearly, it seems that he saw Ye Shizi."
The statement came to a sudden, "I guess I was hurt by his cold words."
Shen Qi agreed, "Such a delicate beauty, so infatuated, it's a pity that the goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no dreams."
Qi Shu clicked his tongue, "Actually, it's not Ye Chang's fault, who dares to marry the young lady of the Guozhang's mansion."
Shen Qi nodded, "That's right, it's only because she was born in the mansion of the head of the state."
The statement disapproved, "Born in other mansions, Ye Chang may not be attracted to it. This woman who is full of the capital, even Miss Su who just returned to Beijing not long ago, who does he have eyes for?"
Shen Qi nodded, "There really is no one, no one caught his eye."
Qi Shu said, "No, it's not that there is no one, there is one person."
Everyone looked at him.
Qi Shu said, "Miss Thurse from Hongfenlou."
Everyone was choked for a moment, "This doesn't count."
Liu Yan looked at several people and whispered, "We stayed in Lingyun Temple for a whole day today, but we didn't see the lady from the Su residence."
Everyone was turned back to their attention by this sentence.
The statement said, "It is estimated that he is ugly and shameful."
Shen Qi said, "Not sure, Madam Su's appearance is higher than all other wives so far, Miss Su must be very beautiful. I heard that she lives with Madam Wang in Lingyun Temple, maybe she doesn't like the excitement and didn't show up."
Qi Shu felt a little regretful, "It's really difficult to meet Miss Su."
Everyone felt the same.
Leaving Xu Yunchu didn't affect anything, everyone was talking and chatting, and soon switched from Ms. Su to criticizing the ladies from various houses I met today, and kept eating and chatting until the wine was over three rounds of food and five flavors , just dispersed.
After Su Fengnuan gave the jade finger to Ye Chang in front of Xu Lingyi, he walked briskly back home.
As soon as she reached the gate of the Shenxiang house, Ye Chang also chased after her.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Su Fengnuan turned her head, leaned against the door, and looked at Ye Chang with raised eyebrows.
There was a smile on Ye Chang's eyebrows and eyes, even though the front of the door was dark and dark, it still made people feel that he was in a really good mood. Even the cool night wind blowing on people is soft and warm.
Su Fengnuan rolled his eyes and looked at him, "Why are you so flattered?"
Ye Chang smiled lightly, stretched out his hand, and waved it in front of her eyes, "I like this."
Su Fengnuan snorted softly, "It's just a broken finger, why do you like it like this?"
Ye Chang looked at her, "I just like it."
Su Fengnuan curled her lips, "I used to give you countless good things, why didn't I see you like them so much? Could it be that someone snatched them, and you just liked them so much?"
Ye Chang hooked the corners of his mouth, rubbed his fingers, and said with a deep and shallow smile, "I just found out today that Nuan Nuan is really protecting me. Naturally, I like it very much."
Su Fengnuan snorted coldly, seeing Liu Kai opened the door, she walked in.
Ye Chang then followed her, took two steps, stopped suddenly, and asked Liu Kai, "Does this finger ring look good?"
Su Fengnuan was speechless.
Liu Kai took a look, it was too dark to see clearly. But he still nodded sincerely, "It looks good."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "Your lady gave it."
Liu Kai nodded, "Miss has a very discerning eye, what she sees is definitely right."
Ye Chang nodded, and said solemnly, "I think so too."
Su Fengnuan really can't listen anymore, who is the person who wrote the word "proud" upside down? She turned her head and looked at him still looking happy and unable to control herself, and said angrily, "You are enough."
Ye Chang shook his head, "Not enough, I want to be happy all night."
Su Fengnuan looked at the sky, and said after a while, "You are slowly enjoying yourself, I'm going to sleep."
Ye Chang nodded.
Su Fengnuan entered the room, and fell asleep without even turning on the light.
Ye Chang stood in the courtyard for a while, saw that Liu Kai hadn't left, and seemed to be waiting for him to go to bed before going to sleep, he said with a smile, "Your lady did send me countless good things before, but none of them gave me today. This finger wrench makes me happy."
Liu Kai looked at him, and could indeed feel that Ye Shizi was exuding joy all over his body. He thought about it and said, "Shizi must like this finger puller very much."
Ye Chang shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not about pulling fingers."
Liu Kai looked at him.
Ye Chang recalled the earlier events, couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth with a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "It's a matter of people's hearts."
Liu Kai didn't understand what happened, so he couldn't answer the question.
Ye Chang rubbed the center of his brows, sighed, and couldn't even hide his smile, and said, "I just found out today that she is not heartless, she is sincerely protecting me."
Liu Kai nodded and said sincerely, "Miss is indeed protecting you. Those who follow Miss know that your affairs are Miss' affairs, and your affairs are also the affairs of us following Miss."
Ye Chang put down his hands, looked at Liu Kai, slowly put away his smile, and said in a low voice, "It's not enough, it's almost there."
Liu Kai looked at him, wondering what he meant.
Ye Chang looked at Su Fengnuan's closed door, and was silent for a moment, then smiled again, and whispered to Tsinghua, "She still cares a little bit about me, but now that she's back in Beijing, There is ample time."
Liu Kai looked at him, seemed to understand, but didn't seem to understand.
Ye Chang waved to him and walked towards the room where he lived earlier. After closing the door, he also did not light the lamp and rested.
Seeing that there was no movement in the two rooms, Liu Kai stood there for a while and then went to sleep.
