Xie Songhua found that he could not answer this question.
How to answer this?
Could it be that this is her sweetheart? Is she the childhood sweetheart that she has never forgotten?
She felt a little sore in her back teeth.
It's not because of anything else, but because she has never had such a simple and sincere love from the original owner in her memory.
In fact, the story is a bit cliché, but it is about a boy and a girl who grew up in the same place.
It's just a mutual affection that is tacitly understood and clear to each other.
It's just that everything in the world is unpredictable.
What's dramatic is that in the past, the Chen family looked down on the Jiang family and believed that Chen Liu was a literary star sent from heaven and would have great fortune in the future. A poor girl from the Jiang family was not worthy of the film, so they set a rule that Chen Liu would not be admitted to the imperial examination.
It's called marriage.
But now, she has become the daughter of a cabinet minister, and he is just a poor scholar from a remote country.
Xie Songhua tried his best to sort out the memories about this person as rationally and objectively as possible. Fortunately, he didn't seem to be that frivolous and prodigal.
And judging from my memory, the two of them have not developed any substantial relationship. It can be regarded as more than friendship, but not lovers?
It's a pity that Jiang Yaoniang is no longer here.
"What's wrong?"
Probably because she kept silent, Chen Liu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Xie Songhua finally came to his senses, smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, "It's nothing, I just didn't react for a while."
Chen Liu smiled and stretched out his hand as if to rub her forehead, but he took his hand back halfway and asked, "Why are you still like this in the capital? Do you feel dazed from time to time?"
The intimacy and naturalness in his tone made Xie Songhua a little uncomfortable and could only giggle.
"Let's go!"
"ah?"
Chen Liu couldn't help but look at her with a smile, "I'll send you to find your family. Even though we're in the capital, it's not safe for you, a girl, to live alone."
Xie Songhua glanced at the empty side, and then secretly made a face. He didn't know if Yu Ruzhuo was still there, but he could only agree lightly.
Then Chen Liu took the lantern that Yu Ruzhuo hung in her hand in a hurry, and took the braised meat for her, "The roast lamb won't taste good when it's cold, you eat that first."
I have to say that in terms of thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness, this handsome little scholar is pretty good.
Xie Songhua glanced at him furtively while stringing strings. Only when he noticed that the other person's ears had turned red did he realize that he was actually peeking at him too.
This discovery made her almost choke on the chili noodles, but she endured it until her eyes turned red.
Unexpectedly, this was a misunderstanding, so Chen Liu stopped and handed her a handkerchief.
Xie Songhua swallowed the meat in his mouth and took it calmly.
"I heard about you," he suddenly said. Looking at Xie Songhua's hazy tearful eyes, I felt that his eyes were full of heartache, "I must have suffered a lot of grievances after coming to the capital!"
Xie Songhua felt that the mouthful of meat was stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow it. He didn't know whether it was because he had eaten too much in that mouthful or because he was at a loss what to do about the situation.
Chen Liu obviously thought that she was being affected by her emotions, but instead her true feelings were revealed more and more.
Fortunately, he is a measured person. The so-called true expression is just a thicker expression on his face.
"Next month, I'll be in spring."
This bite of meat finally went down, and the smooth air made Xie Songhua feel alive, and then he said in surprise: "Have you tried it in the autumn?"
He smiled softly again, "I told you before, I will definitely win."
I have said it before, to My Lady.
Because the Chen family had said that they had to pass the imperial examination before they could propose marriage, so he told her that he would definitely win.
That's all. This person doesn't seem to understand what a promise to a girl is.
"Then, congratulations."
Xie Songhua's words came out, but he didn't reply. Looking up, he saw a flash of sadness on his face, and then he seemed to be joking, "You didn't even ask me where I got in the exam."
"oh!"
Chen Liu suddenly smiled calmly, "Forget it, it doesn't make any sense anymore. What about you? Are you okay now?
In the past, your mother took you to Lingguan for fortune-telling, and she was always worried that nothing good would fall on you. How come you arrived in the capital and suddenly changed into a Tianfeng fortune?"
Unexpectedly, he had already understood this step. Xie Songhua was a little helpless and could only sigh: "I don't know either! It's hard to get off the tiger!"
"Yao Niang, you are kind by nature, but simple. You often don't have much self-confidence. It is already very difficult for you to be safe and sound in the Xie family. Marrying into the royal family is a disaster rather than a blessing for you."
Seeing her looking at him blankly, Chen Liu sighed, "This is just my... advice as a friend. Although the Tian family is rich, it is not something that ordinary people can bear."
Just by his words, Xie Songhua knew in his heart that at least he was sincere to Jiang Yaoniang. He understood her and was worried about her, but now the identity of the two people was like a chasm in the sky, and there was no possibility of it.
Chen Liu took away the finished meal from her hand and handed her the braised food naturally, "What I said will always count."
Xie Songhua really couldn't answer this sentence and could only laugh naively.
Chen Liu followed the direction she said and took her to the place agreed with the Xie family.
Fortunately, he finally stopped saying any weird words, and Xie Songhua was relieved. After all, he was a changed person. Even if he knew the past of the two people, he couldn't act perfectly.
Just when the two of them were silent for a while, and they finished eating the braised food, and Xie Songhua was wondering if she should say something to avoid embarrassment, Chen Liu suddenly stopped and grabbed her arm.
"wrong."
"What?" Xie Songhua didn't understand for a moment and looked at him doubtfully.
Before Chen Zui could answer, two men in well-dressed clothes suddenly descended from the sky and blocked their way.
There was no need to explain this time. Chen Liu consciously pulled Xie Songhua behind him, "Who are you?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the little lady behind you."
Oh my god, Xie Songhua was wailing in her heart, what kind of nonsense is this? Could it be that someone found out her identity as the daughter of the Xie family and wanted to kidnap her?
The snack seller just now is on another street. To get to Zhengyang Street from there, you have to pass through several alleys.
Xie Songhua originally thought that Yu Ruzhuo would never be in danger, so he came arrogantly.
Who would have known that he and Chen Liu would meet each other right now.
No wonder Chen Liu said something wrong just now. Today is the Lantern Festival. The streets near the Imperial City are basically brightly lit. Even these alleys are very lively.
But not here, there are only rows of flower stands with lanterns hanging on them, and no one is there.
Although it is very likely that everyone went to the street to join in the fun at this time, it is impossible that no one will be left.
Xie Songhua hid behind Chen Liu and wanted to call Yu Ruzhuo to see if he was there.
Can……
She glanced at Chen Liu in front of her, but she still held back. On such a big holiday occasion, it wouldn't be good if a haunting incident happened.
It's just that at this critical moment, someone won't just die without saving him!
