Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 213

In the midst of severe cold and midwinter, heavy snow fell, and there were few pedestrians on the streets, all of whom took shelter at home because of the weather.The sound of Dada's hoofbeats wafting through the seemingly cold long street was unavoidably abrupt and one couldn't ignore it.The sound of horseshoes from far away, approaching and far away finally stopped outside a big house one after another.

The young man wearing the cloak embroidered with dark cloud patterns embroidered with gold quickly turned over and dismounted. The other people around him all had serious faces. The young man threw away the whip in his hand and took what he had brought. When he came out, he waved his hands casually and strode into the house.

"where?"

Seeing the familiar butler coming up to meet him, the young man asked him directly. After the butler pointed in a direction, he walked more quickly without saying a word, and walked towards which direction. He didn't even bother to hear what the butler said clearly. Those who followed the young master also hurriedly followed, as if they didn't dare to take it lightly.

The young man walked to the outside of a study in a familiar way. The servants were all sent down and did not see them. There were bursts of joyful laughter from the boys and girls in the study.I don't know if I heard a familiar voice, the boy standing outside the door unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, looked down at his outfit, took off the cloak hat, checked the things in his hand, and then signaled The others stayed outside, pushed open the study door and stepped in.

There are seven or eight people in the study, and all of them are beautiful.The conversation was interrupted because someone came in, they all looked over for a while, and after seeing who it was, one of the girls immediately stepped forward with a smile, and walked in front of the boy.

"Brother Cousin, what did you bring this time?" Lin Congrui looked at the things in Li Xian's hands curiously, but couldn't figure out what it was after all.

Li Xian glanced at Lin Congrui with a smile but said, "I won't tell you if I'm curious." He looked listless.

Lin Congrui smiled instead of anger and said unceremoniously, "Who in this room doesn't know who you are going to give it to, cousin brother, let me tell you, it doesn't matter, I can find out if I want to, and wait for you to give it to me." The things have been delivered." As he spoke, he squinted at another girl in pink with a sweet smile.

"You know how to bully An An." Li Xian slightly scolded Lin Congrui with a straight face.Lin Congrui was not afraid of him at all, and walked back to Qi Zhian's side, took An An's hand, looked at Li Xiandao with a smile, "Cousin Huang, I have never bullied An An, you can't wrong people like this. Don't you, An An? "

Qi Zhian didn't push Lin Congrui's hand away, but he didn't agree with her words either. Instead, he looked at another boy with similar eyebrows and eyes, and called out, "Brother", and said, "I got a new one earlier. Where did that thing go? But was it snatched by someone who took a fancy to it?" The joke made everyone else laugh.

Lin Congrui threw Qi Zhian's hand in fake anger, and turned to Li Xiyu, a girl who was about her age, for comfort.Li Xiyu pushed Lin Congrui's hand away, and said with a smile, "Now you might as well go to His Highness the Crown Prince and cry, what's the use of looking for me? I can't help you bully me back, can I?"

For a while, Lin Congrui was really angry, and finally walked to her younger brother angrily, and tugged Lin Yuze's ear unhappily.She didn't hurt Lin Yuze at all, but Lin Yuze yelled, the more embarrassing Lin Congrui's position became, Li Xiyu's younger brother Li Xiangshu came out to rescue Lin Congrui when he saw this, and finally let Lin Congrui's slightly hot face cool down a little .

Li Xian didn't care about the others, just walked up to Qi Zhian, presented the things he brought to Qi Zhian like a treasure, and said to her with a smile on his face, "I asked the imperial dining room to make your favorite dessert, it just came out of the oven I brought it here for you, I guess it will still be warm. Try it." Qi Zhian didn't go to pick it up, Qi Zhiping, who was sticking to the side and determined not to leave, took it with his hand, smiling like a spring breeze.

"Thank you for your kindness, His Royal Highness, I will accept it on behalf of my sister." While speaking, Qi Zhiping took the snack from Li Xian very naturally.At this time, Qi Zhian took a look at the dim sum, and said to Li Xian, "Since the dim sum is still hot, it's time to take it out for everyone to enjoy together, what do you think, Your Highness?"

Even though he slandered in his heart that it was something I brought to you, Li Xian had nothing against Qi Zhian's words, so he nodded obediently.Qi Zhian laughed and looked at his brother, Qi Zhiping went to order the servant girl himself, but instead gave Li Xian and Qi Zhian a chance to say a few words.In this way, Li Xian felt that he was not at a loss.

Although the others were in the study together, they were not gathered together after all, but scattered a little.Now that there is one more person, it is even more lively, and it is extraordinarily lively when they are all chatting. If you keep your voice down and whisper a few words, you don't worry about being overheard.Li Xian walked to Qi Zhian's side very naturally, and asked in a low voice, "Is the wind and cold getting better?"

He had just been ill for a while, but now he has fully recovered. Seeing that Li Xian cared about him, Qi Zhian, who was in high spirits, just followed his example and lowered his voice and nodded, "It's great, thank you His Royal Highness for your concern. I specially sent an imperial doctor to look at it for me. In the past two days, the Zhuangzi sent some delicious fruits to the mansion. If His Royal Highness does not dislike it, can you bring some back to the palace to eat slowly?"

Qi Zhian's voice is as pleasant as her mother's, and it is even more touching when it falls into Li Xian's ears.Hearing this, he immediately climbed up the pole and said, "It's not easy to take away. If I want to eat, I will come to you. Remember to save some for me." Thinking back to his own words , suddenly found a good reason to often come to Fenyonghou Mansion, the happier I am.

"That probably won't work." Qi Zhi'an directly poured cold water on Li Xian, "I still have it today, but I don't know about it tomorrow. If I can't keep it, it will disappear after eating." She said very seriously , with a smile on the corner of her mouth, even Li Xian didn't think there was anything wrong with her words.

The two were whispering here, Qi Zhiping ordered the maid to return to the study, but there were others with him.Seeing Ye Jia and Ye Ge's two brothers and sisters coming, Qi Zhi'an left Li Xian to greet them, she held onto Ye Ge's hand, and said with a smile, "It's considered coming, tell me to wait, please tell me first, en er Are you coming back or are you already back?"

Although Ye Ge is only a few years younger than Qi Zhian, his seniority is a generation behind, and the En En mentioned by Qi Zhian is also a generation younger than Qi Zhian in the same generation as Ye Ge.It's just that they are similar in age, so they don't particularly care about seniority.When Lin Yuheng saw Ye Ge and Ye Jia coming, he could not be as casual and intimate with Ye Ge as Qi Zhian was because of his male identity, so he had to say hello to Ye Jia who had a good relationship.

"Enen didn't come back until the New Year's Eve, there are still some days left, why are you so anxious." Qi Zhiping saw his sister's eagerness, and couldn't help but dampen her enthusiasm.

Qi Zhi'an pouted slightly, and said to his brother, "Enen said that this year will bring me something good, I've been waiting for a year, can you not be in a hurry?"

Ye Ge said at this time, "I heard from my mother that it will take some time, so I probably have to wait." It was an answer to Qi Zhian.

Li Xian didn't know when he came over, "What are you waiting for? Let's hear it?"

Qi Zhi'an didn't notice him approaching, he was startled unknowingly, his body trembled three times, and Li Xian was secretly annoyed, but said, "An'an, why are you so timid, you can be scared like this Got caught? Next time I walk louder, so you can hear me clearly, okay?"

Lin Congrui seized the opportunity to "revenge" herself, "That's not okay, what if you scare An'an again?" Looking back at Li Xian without fear, there was still smugness in his eyes.

"It's my own problem, and it has nothing to do with you." Seeing this situation, An An turned to Li Xian to tell Lin Congrui not to be proud again.

Lin Congrui was injured again because of Li Xian, so she couldn't help laughing and scolding the eccentric An An, and then went to her two younger brothers for comfort in frustration.Li Xiyu noticed the situation here, and took the initiative to comfort Lin Congrui, "Why are you doing this? If you look at me, you don't take the initiative to touch the wall. Some people are actually very protective, but not as you think. "

"Some people" heard Li Xiyu's words and turned their heads to ask their brother Qi Zhiping, "Why hasn't Brother Hefeng come yet? Is it about time?" Li Xiyu fell silent for a while, and only looked at Qi Zhian with sad eyes. , and clasped his hands together, begging for mercy, please let her go.

Lin Congrui nodded to Li Xiyu, then laughed at her for being worthless, and Li Xiyu defended herself weakly, "If you were me, you wouldn't be much better than me." Lin Congrui spread his hands and smiled brightly, "I'm not you." Finally From Li Xiyu, I regained a little confidence for myself.

Everyone was having fun, and someone came in again, dressed as a young lady, but holding a plate of snacks brought by Li Xian in his hand, I don't know which one to play.As soon as Lin Tong appeared, Qi Zhi'an, Li Xiyu, Lin Congrui, Ye Ge and others all embraced her. Lin Congrui took the dim sum plate from her hand first, Qi Zhian and Li Xiyu invited her to sit down, and Ye Ge He happily followed behind them.

"It's time to come! If you don't come again, I think I should let my brother invite you in person."

"I can ask my younger brother to invite Brother Ping together." Li Xiyu echoed Qi Zhian's words.

Lin Congrui joined in the fun with a smile, "I can send two younger brothers."

"I also have an older brother." Ye Ge said with a smile.

Lin Tong watched them around, couldn't hold back his smile, and knew that he was a little late, but he didn't make up any other reasons, just said honestly, "I served my grandmother for breakfast, I changed my clothes, I was clumsy , It was accidentally dirty again, so I had to change it again, and it was a bit late."

Everyone knows that Lin Tong's grandmother is very old and her hands and feet are not very quick.Hearing what she said, he said it was all right, lest Lin Tong really blame himself.

They gathered here today not for anything else, but because Qi Zhiping and Qi Zhian's mother's birthday was approaching, and the two of them wanted to give their mother a surprise, so they asked other people to come over and give advice.Lin Tong is slightly older than them, and usually has the most novel ideas, so naturally others place a lot of expectations on them.

They have played together since they were young, and they were even together when they were in school. It is difficult not to be close to each other.No matter what time it is, as long as they get together, there will be endless excitement.Now that Lin Tong is also here, there is only one Zhang Hefeng left to tidy up.

Qi Zhi'an, Li Xiyu and the others surrounded Lin Tong and talked. Qi Zhiping, as the young master of the Hou's mansion, went and ordered the maids to set up three tables in the study. When Zhang Hefeng came, they gathered three tables of mahjong. Everyone played While chatting, without delay, she asked the servant girl to deliver the snacks to Qi Zhian and the others, reminding them that if they didn't eat it, it would be cold.

In fact, Li Xian was not among the people Qi Zhian and Qi Zhiping invited, after all, he was the prince, so there was no reason for him to be involved in these matters.But there is no way, he found out about this and came here by himself, he can't chase people away, and he can't put on a look like why are you here.Everyone understands that Li Xian will come even if he is not invited. This kind of thing has happened too many times, and there is no way to get used to it.

As the crown prince, Li Xian is clearly the next crown prince, and he is also a figure that His Majesty the Emperor has always focused on cultivating.Standing on such a high position since he was a child, he has experienced a lot of things. Li Xian has the air and majesty of a superior, and he is not a very unstable person.

It's just that no matter how majestic and majestic Li Xian was when he was in the palace, he couldn't show it at all when he came to Fenyonghou Mansion and Qi Zhian, and he had to think of ways to restrain himself.Theoretically speaking, since Li Xian is the prince, why worry about not having a woman around him?It's a pity that he happened to meet that person, so there was no other way.Those who are tough are absolutely afraid to come, not to mention others, her imperial grandmother alone will not allow him to do it first.

In fact, even if there is no such reason as An An, he is willing to get along well with these people who are similar in age and can play together lively and lively without always sticking to each other's identities.Leaving other things aside, at least Lin Congrui, Lin Yuze, and Lin Yuheng are all members of the clan, and they already have a close relationship with him.

The servant girl arranged the study a little bit, set up three tables, served hot tea, snacks and fresh fruits, and then pulled and pulled the warm brazier, and when there was nothing else to do, she quickly retreated with a wink.The 11 people in the room sat down sparsely, and Li Xian quickly snatched the seat next to Qi Zhian with his quick eyes and hands, and sat next to her as he wished.

Speaking of it, it is not so easy for him to go out of the palace.Every time I have to settle a lot of things, I can get my father's consent and get the chance to go out of the palace to meet An An.However, Li Xian never mentioned these things in front of Qi Zhian.

He didn't do it for anything else, just because he wanted to, so he didn't want to put it on purposely to gain favor... The most important thing is, An An is smart enough, so smart that she can easily understand it if she wants to think about it. , and if she doesn't want to think about it, it's just because she doesn't care about herself, and there is no other reason.

Li Xian, Qi Zhian, Lin Congrui and Qi Zhiping gathered at the same table, Lin Yuze and Lin Yuheng sat at the same table with Ye Jia and Ye Ge, and Lin Tong, Li Xiyu and Li Xiangshu had to be short of Zhang Hefeng to make it together, but everyone spontaneously gathered at the table. Next to Li Xiyu, a seat was reserved for Zhang Hefeng.

After being seated, Li Xiyu looked at the vacant seat next to him, and his younger brother was sitting on the other side, so he couldn't get anyone to sit beside him.She didn't like to show her timidity, but she seemed to be afraid of getting close to Zhang Hefeng, so she didn't mention it, and only started a conversation with Lin Tong.

However, not long after everyone sat down, Zhang Hefeng came late, and once he appeared, there was another burst of excitement.Zhang Hefeng is the oldest among them, and he has always taken care of them like a big brother. He has always been very patient when there is something to do and what advice is needed, plus Fengshen's handsome appearance and gentle demeanor Good temperament, the more people like him, so other people except Li Xian somewhat respect him.

Zhang Hefeng took his seat, took a look around and then laughed, "I'm the only one missing from the three lacks. I'm sorry to have delayed your excitement."

"It's really rare to hear Brother Feng say such things. I see that Brother Feng didn't like this kind of excitement in the past, so why is it different today?" Lin Tong and Zhang Hefeng are also very close friends. With some relatives involved, it is inevitable to speak loosely, and there is nothing to be afraid of when teasing.

Zhang Hefeng glanced at Lin Tong briefly, and didn't pay attention to her teasing, but because of this, he slipped his mouth and said, "I think I heard a happy thing today, so I can't help but feel better. It makes you feel this way." The more smile appeared on that face, I don't know if it was because of the so-called happy event.

Li Xiyu's ears were pricked up at the moment, hoping that Lin Tong would follow up and ask if there was something joyful, but also afraid that she would not ask, so he tried his best to hint with his eyes, and when he was too hard, he seemed to roll his eyes.Li Xiangshu didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he turned his head and asked his sister, "Sister, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with your eyes?"

One sentence caused Zhang Hefeng to immediately look at Li Xiyu, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Xiyu was already embarrassed to be asked by his younger brother, but when Zhang Hefeng saw it, he became even more embarrassed, so he could only say something casually, "I don't know why, but it's okay, it will be much better." But his eyes were wandering randomly, not looking at Zhang Hefeng's expression.

But I don't know if Zhang Hefeng didn't see Li Xiyu's embarrassment or something, the more he looked at her like this, the more he leaned closer, and said with concern, "Let me take a look, if you are really uncomfortable, you still have to go to the doctor Just take a look." For a while, the distance between Li Xiyu and Li Xiyu got closer.

Usually he is a carefree person, and he looks like he is not afraid of anything, but Li Xiyu has become listless by this time.Seeing Zhang Hefeng approaching him at first, she hurriedly avoided to show him, her face blushed uncontrollably and she hurriedly explained, "It's all right, it's all right, really."

Zhang Hefeng said "Oh", retracted his body and sat down again, but his eyes still fell on Li Xiyu, after she sat upright, he said to her abruptly, "Why is your face so red? Could it be that you have a fever? "As he said, he wanted to go up again, and Li Xiyu was so frightened that he panicked all of a sudden.

Lin Tong and Li Xiangshu sat there looking at the two of them, completely relishing watching a good show, seeing Li Xiyu like this, they were overjoyed.

The people at the other two tables didn't pay special attention to Li Xiyu and Zhang Hefeng for a while, but they all looked over when they heard a sudden noise, and saw Li Xiyu standing by the table blushing for some reason, the rose chair They were all pushed down by her.The rose chair is not light, and the sound of falling to the ground is very loud, but she knocked it down like this, probably because she got up in a hurry and made a big noise.

Everyone was confirming what had happened, but for a while, no one spoke or made any other noises. Li Xiyu, who stood there neither advancing nor retreating, complained endlessly.Seeing that everyone was looking over, she hurriedly said that there was nothing wrong, and helped the chair up by herself, Zhang Hefeng looked at Li Xiyu, and told the others that there was nothing wrong.
