7. Chapter 7 Joy and Surprise

Bai Wan was left standing on the flower path dumbfounded. She just didn't want to go early. She was afraid that she would be the last one, which would also look dazzling.

Rushing back to Huilu Garden, Luwu had already arranged the chores and went to the upper room. There was only a little girl who was a janitor and two rough ladies left in the small courtyard.

Bai Wan had no choice but to find some clothes himself and ask the little girl to change them.

This little girl was thirteen or fourteen years old, with an honest face. When she saw that the young lady had turned back halfway, her clothes from the banquet were stained, and her new clothes were obviously not as gorgeous as the previous ones, she couldn't help but tremble with fear, and she squatted beside Bai Wan's skirt, her clothes

I couldn't tie it properly even after wearing it several times.

Bai Wan had no choice but to ask casually about the birthday banquet to appease her mood. The little girl gradually calmed down, served Bai Wan and dressed properly, then sent him out. She also said happily that there would be many gods and goddesses coming to the house today.

Sir, the young lady should pay more attention behind the screen.

Hearing this, Bai Wan chuckled and couldn't help but tilt his head to tease her: "What kind of fairy-like young masters are they?"

The little girl immediately beamed with excitement and gestured with her fingers: "They all have a big background. I heard from the sisters in Beiyuan that there are Prince Yu, Prince Bai of Yong'an, and Luo Shaoqing from our wife's family... all of them are...

Like a god!"

Bai Wan didn't hear the rest of the words clearly, she could only hear "Yong'an Marquis Bai Xiaoshizi" over and over again like thunder!! She couldn't believe that her brother, whom she missed so much, was actually in this mansion at this moment.

middle.

The Qin Mansion, which is like a tiger's den and a dragon's pool, is not a mulberry garden. In order to prevent unexpected events, Bai Wan has been cautious about her words and deeds since entering the mansion. She deliberately avoids people and things related to her previous life, and she does not dare to go there rashly.

People asked Bai Yu. She originally thought that the day when the siblings would meet would be far away, but she never thought that the opportunity was right in front of her!

After asking the little girl about the location of Yizhen Water Pavilion, Bai Wan almost rushed out of the door.

Her clothes were flying, and the chilly breeze of early spring could not cool down the boiling thoughts in Bai Wan's heart: Will Yu'er recognize him? Tell him that his sister is still alive, and he will cry with joy! He must think of a good way to leave Qin

Mansion, go "home" with him...

The almost fanatical joy burned away her reason. It was not until Bai Wan lost her way in the crisscrossed Begonia Garden in the West Courtyard that she suddenly woke up.

She, what is she doing?!

Today is the birthday party of Mrs. Dou. All the royal family and nobles from Beijing gathered in the Qin Mansion. She is now the Fourth Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She is alone and alone. Is she going to look for Bai Yu without any care to kill him? And Yu'er!

For no reason, what kind of birthday did Baba come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pray for? He is not yet thirteen...

"What are you doing here? Who are you!"

Boom! A sound as cold as ice knocked on the door of Bai Wan's memory once again.

Suddenly looking back, the man stood silently behind her, still with a tall figure and broad shoulders. Standing in front of him could block the sky and make people hold their breath.

"Murong Yan!"

Exclaiming in his heart, Bai Wan stared at the "old friend" he had not seen for four years with his big eyes. The floodgates of memory were out of control again: the deep face still made people's hearts beat, but the star-like eyes were full of desolation, and even his cheeks were full of desolation.

thin……

Murong Yan was horrified. Why were the eyes of the woman in front of him like whirlpools in the night sky, instantly pulling him into a time and space that had been sealed for a long time. There were majestic passes and roads, there were swords and halberds clanging, and there was the first touch of emotion that came into his heart.

Tenderness, and longing that can never be erased in this life...

"you--"

Murong Yan took a sudden step, and the person in front of him already bowed down.

"The daughter of the people met with Prince Yu and clashed with the prince. I hope he will forgive me!"

"You recognize me!" The voice trembled uncontrollably. Murong Yan leaned down from a high position, but he seemed to hear his own heartbeat that almost burst out of his voice.

Bai Wan squatted low and raised his finger to point at the jade pendant around Murong Yan's waist, which was a characteristic of the royal family.

Murong Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the word "Yu" on the jade pendant. He still refused to give up and said anxiously: "You, raise your head."

A childish little face with no outstanding appearance, lips that were trembling slightly due to fright, and bewildered eyes filled with tears, full of prayer and shrinking.

How could such a weak and submissive little girl be his Wan'er?

Disappointment! Pain? Anger after being seen through the gaffe... Murong Yan was inexplicably irritable and walked away.

The suffocating pressure finally disappeared. Bai Wan's knees weakened and he almost fainted. Fortunately, he woke up in time, otherwise the consequences... Bai Wan could not imagine.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Wan struggled to get up, trying to figure out the direction.

In the far south, there was a far corner with high eaves. In this area, such a majestic main house was probably the second master's study. She thought that she only needed to walk in the opposite direction due north, and she would be able to find the way to Beiyuan when she reached the small lake.

It was getting late, so Bai Wan didn't dare to delay any longer, and walked across the garden to the north. Passing by a flower shed, Bai Wan's heart moved, so he went in and pinched a branch and put it in his sleeve, still lowering his head and walking quickly.

The white walls were low, the curved moon gate was arched, and there was a sparkling lake outside. Bai Wan just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a bloated figure coming from the depths of the garden.

After all, he bumped into someone... Bai Wan had no choice but to slow down and pretend not to see him.

"Hey! Isn't this Miss Xi? What are you doing here alone?"

There was no formal salute, nor was she respectfully called "Miss Fourth", but she was addressed by her first name. The prominent servants in the second room, including Qin Yueqian, used to call her this way when they met Bai Wan in private.

He showed a slightly panicked smile, shook his hand, and the ice-silk jade begonia that had just been folded from the flower shed fell out of his white sleeves. The tender flower bones were in bud, lying on the bleak bluestone in early spring. On the path, it is very abrupt.

Lifting her lower jaw, a sound of disdain immediately came out of Mama Lu's upturned nostrils. She shook her fat body and didn't even look at the flowers on the ground: "The time for birthday greetings is coming soon, why is Miss Xi still running around? You don’t even have anyone to serve you!”

Unspoken irony.

"I'm going now. Mom has a lot to do, so I won't bother you to see her off." Bai Wan didn't raise his head, finished speaking in a hurry, and left in a hurry without caring about the flowers on the ground.

She suddenly appeared in the west courtyard of the second room with which she had no connection. She had to have a convincing reason. The situation had happened frequently today, and she could no longer leave any doubts to people's imagination. Who knew that she had just met Murong? When Yan met by chance, was there a third person peeping from the side? Let Lu's mother preconceive and assume that she went to pick flowers in the garden of the second room in private. Although it was a temporary and expedient strategy, it could cover up this suspicion without leaving any trace. .

She has always been obsessed with making incense, and she used this as a reason to explain herself after she returned home. Luo Shi and Mama Gu probably believed it. However, the people in the second room were afraid that her "picking flowers in private" would be publicized in the future.
