Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 217 Trip to Maple City
Du Xian and his wife also brought Du Wentao and Du Qingqiu with them on this outing, and Zhao Dongzhi also went with them, leaving only Huang Yun to open the restaurant in the county to do business as usual.

The carriage is not big, so Du Xian and his wife got on the car one by one, so Du Wentao's twins must sit together with their parents, but when Du Xiaoyu wanted to go up, Li Yuanqing stopped her, "I have something to discuss with you, take a seat." Go to the car behind."

Du Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, then fixed his eyes on him.

But Du Xian laughed, "Do you want to talk about that Brassica? That's fine, just sit in the back, so as not to be quarreled by these two children."

Lonely men and widows, they don't care?Du Xiaoyu opened his mouth, but thinking that Du Xian regarded them as brothers and sisters, how could he think of these taboos, but Mrs. Zhao showed a hesitant look, the two of them are not children anymore, if it wasn't for Li Yuanqing who grew up in their parents , It's not even suitable to talk to Du Xiaoyu often, but I can't think of any suitable words to say.

At this moment, Zhao Dongzhi got into the car first, turned around and said, "It will be a bit crowded when you come up again." Then he stood next to Zhao Shi and started talking to her.

Du Xiaoyu had no choice but to glance at Li Yuanqing again, only to see that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised and his eyes were sly, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden twitch.

She got into the carriage and sat down, and he came up afterward, and the space suddenly became narrower.

"What do you want to discuss?" You can no longer use your previous thoughts to speculate on him. Now he has a purpose for her.

Li Yuanqing said slowly, "I have a lot to say to you."

The voice was a little deep, with a strange temptation, Du Xiaoyu involuntarily moved back. He hadn't noticed it before, so it turned out that he also had such a side. Could it be that he was discharging her?
Have to say, quite effective.

Du Xiaoyu pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids slightly, so as not to be hurt by his charisma.

Seeing this, Li Yuanqing's smile deepened, which showed that he was not unattractive in front of her, but she had never thought about it, so she ignored it?

Now that he didn't refuse outright, what he has to do is to take advantage of the victory to change the status quo and change the so-called brother and sister love she had for him in those years.

If you don't speak anymore, you will be too passive. Du Xiaoyu doesn't like this feeling very much, so he raised his head again and looked directly at him, "Then you might as well talk and listen."

"You really want to listen?" he asked back.

"There's nothing you can't tell people."

He laughed, like the bright sunshine outside the car window, "So, what do you want to hear?"

He actually threw the ball over again, Du Xiaoyu bit his lip and was about to speak when he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near outside, after a while, the coachman shouted, "My lord, there is another carriage coming to the house. "

House?Lin Fu?Du Xiaoyu looked at Li Yuanqing questioningly.

His face darkened, he lifted the brocade curtain and got out of the carriage.

Du Xiaoyu looked out through the car window, and saw that the later carriage was parked next to the one where Du Xian and his wife were sitting. The curtain was opened, and a person dressed as a maid came out first. He is also dressed in silk, and has several hairpins stuck in his jet-black hair, which are shiny.

"I have met you, son." She said a blessing.

"Why are you here?" Li Yuanqing recognized her as one of the four maids around the old lady, named Caiyu.

"The old lady said that Ms. Chen has never been to Fengcun, so it's rare to come here, and asked the young master to take her to play." Caiyu's eyes are very beautiful, she is full of looks, and she is full of smiles.

Li Yuanqing glanced at the car, and Chen Miaorong was inside. He had asked his grandmother for instructions in advance for this trip, and she agreed readily at the time, but it turned out that he still wanted to intervene. It is a shame that Chen Miaorong really treats himself as a A puppet, he obeys orders in everything, and there is nothing he is unwilling to do.

"Cousin is going to Fengcun, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

It sounded like she wanted to refuse, Caiyu's face changed slightly, she got the old lady's order to complete this task, if she failed, she would inevitably be affected, the old lady will resent her grandson for disobeying her, I'm afraid it will make her Spit on her head.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing is not the only one here, Caiyu smiled and bowed in the direction of Du Xian and his wife, "I have seen Master Du, Mrs. Du."

Both Du Xian and his wife were stunned, and Li Yuanqing immediately frowned.

Mrs. Zhao had heard it clearly in the carriage. Since the old lady of the Lin family had instructed this matter, if Li Yuanqing refused, they would probably be blamed, and the feelings of their grandparents and grandchildren would inevitably be affected. Hurt, so he opened the curtain and said to Li Yuanqing, "Since your cousin is here, let's go together, there are many people and it's lively."

Caiyu laughed, quite proud of herself, the Du family was indeed jealous of the Lin family and did not dare to resist.

Since Mrs. Zhao said so, Li Yuanqing had no choice but to agree.

The three carriages drove out immediately.

It seems that the old lady of the Lin family insisted on giving that Miss Chen to Li Yuanqing. Du Xiaoyu looked at his beautiful profile and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. If there really was something between them, wouldn't the old lady of the Lin family want to die of anger?In the future, there may be some tricks to break it up, and the future is worrying.

She shook her head slightly, in the negative.

Li Yuanqing glanced over, "Are you afraid that I will be forced to marry my cousin?"

Du Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, "It's none of my business."

"Do you really have the heart to see me being forced like this?"

"This is just a cousin, what's wrong with you?" Du Xiaoyu is not going to be fooled by him, it's useless to pretend to be pitiful, she raised her eyebrows, "After leaving this one, there will be another one, thousands of others, Who can help you?"

Li Yuan was angry, glanced at her and stopped talking.

The road to Fengcheng would take two hours even in a carriage. Du Xiaoyu unknowingly leaned against the wall of the carriage and fell asleep.

She was so energetic when she was awake, but now she is so quiet. Li Yuanqing looked at her quietly. Those eyebrows with just the right thickness, that straight nose, and those slightly plump lips... are so close, they can't be any closer. close.

After hesitating for a moment, he still retracted his hand.

She trusts him too much. The feelings she has cultivated over the years are not fake. Even if she knows his intentions now, she can still rest at ease without doubting him at all. He cannot destroy this trust.

As the sun set, the carriage finally arrived at Fengcun.

What greeted them was a large expanse of red and fiery colors, and the whole village seemed to be burning.

When Chen Miaorong saw Du Xiaoyu and Li Yuanqing coming out of the carriage one after another, her eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. She hadn't seen how they allocated the carriage before, but she didn't expect the two of them to be alone together. In the compartment!

For some reason, she sensed something strange and fixed her eyes on Li Yuanqing.

This man is so outstanding, his talent, character, and appearance are almost impeccable. If it weren't for the bastard's relationship, I'm afraid those rich ladies in the capital would be worthy of it too. But even if there is this regret, so what?His own conditions are sufficient to make up for it, so she often wonders why he has never had a suitable marriage.

Just from the contact during this period of time, it can be seen that he is an extremely independent person, so he can resist the old lady's "good intentions" again and again, but why?
Now she understood that when he looked at Du Xiaoyu, his eyes were full of friendship, a kind of tenderness that she had never seen before, and never expected.

In the end, she was just a victim of the family, all she wanted was to stay by his side, to be a concubine, and to fight for some benefits for the family when necessary.

Chen Miaorong smiled, life is always like this, some people may not be able to get it all their lives, but some people don't pay anything, just get it so easily.

This trip was not in vain.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, Du Xiaoyu almost forgot to breathe.

It's really spectacular. She has never seen such a large maple forest in her life. It seems to stretch for dozens of miles, and there is no end in sight.

"I know there's a good inn, and I'll take a look at it after I go to eat." Li Yuanqing smiled.

The others listened and nodded with a smile. Du Qingqiu took Du Wentao's hand and ran around bouncing around. Mrs. Zhao said from behind, "Wentao, watch Qingqiu carefully, don't get lost."

"Well, I see, mother." Du Wentao looked like an older brother.

Du Xiaoyu walked while watching, and praised a few words from time to time.

"It's different in the morning. The color of the maple leaves will fade, just like sunlight." Li Yuanqing explained, "There is a lake in front of it. The maple leaves fall and float on it, which is also very beautiful."

She smiled, "Go and see later."

"Be careful where you step..." Seeing that it was inconvenient for her to wear a skirt, Li Yuanqing stretched out his hand and said softly, "Come on."

That sound seemed to go back to when he was a child, when he often held her hand, Du Xiaoyu was stunned, but finally did not resist the warmth in his heart, and put his hand in his.

His hands were big and warm, covering hers completely.

Speaking of which, it has been five or six years, and he has not held her hand again. Du Xiaoyu remembered that he had stretched out his hand several times. He didn't know if he wanted to stroke her hair or to do something, so he retracted halfway. .

I didn't notice it at the time, but now I understand that he was already slowly changing at that time.

When Li Yuanqing held her hand, his heart seemed to jump for joy, it was completely different from the previous feeling, he was so excited that he was about to sweat.

Seeing the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes as bright as maple leaves, with sparks jumping inside, Du Xiaoyu sighed softly.

Does he really like her that much?

He looked down at her, wishing he could convey his heartfelt voice to her completely, but he was afraid that she would be afraid and shrink back, so he could only suppress it, walked for a while, and said with a smile, "The road ahead will be easy. gone."

He let go.

Du Xiaoyu raised his eyes and looked at the long path in the distance, holding his palms slightly in his sleeves. Some people say that you may not know when you like someone, but you will know if you don't like someone.

She didn't dislike Li Yuanqing, at least she didn't dislike him at all when he held her hand.
