Wishful Things

It was getting late, and in the Minglan Courtyard of Zhan Yunjiao, the second girl of Zhan Mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and the well-dressed little girls were chatting and laughing around.

Today is Zhan Yunjiao's sixteenth birthday, she is the one who is hugged and coaxed by everyone, but there is a round-faced little girl in green clothes who said something very bad-tempered——

"By the way, why haven't you seen Miss Xu from Zhen Guogong's mansion come here at this hour? The two families are so close, and Miss Xu and Miss Zhan are very close, so it should have arrived earlier?"

The smile on Zhan Yunjiao's lips froze for a moment.

If she made friends with Xu Mingyi, she would of course let her out for a moment's sake, but this girl from the Liu family who talked usually disliked her, so she invited him this time to take care of the relationship between the two families. noodle.

But the other party didn't want her face. At this time, at her birthday banquet, she said such things that would make her unable to step down.

Presumably, seeing her father's recent promotion, she must be jealous, right?

Thinking of this, Zhan Yunjiao is not only not annoyed, but her mood is getting better, she sighed slightly, and said: "Sister Liu, haven't you heard that Sister Xu was poisoned a few days ago, and now her body is still intact. If you can’t really take care of it, it’s not advisable to go out frequently.”

Miss Liu's family suddenly said: "I forgot about it."

Zhan Yunjiao picked up the teacup and drank tea.

But the other party seemed to be very curious and asked: "Ms. Xu didn't come, so the gift must have been delivered. I wonder what good thing Miss Xu gave Sister Zhan? Can you let us see it too?"

Who doesn't know that Miss Xu from Zhen Guogong's mansion spends a lot of money.

But she came early today and listened carefully all the time. Those who didn't arrive at the ceremony, among the names reported by the maid of the Minglan Court, there was no girl from the Xu family.

Zhan Yunjiao resisted the urge to throw the teacup in her hand at the other party.

But Xu Mingyi didn't know what happened this year. After accepting her invitation, it's normal that no one came, and he never sent anyone to deliver the gift!

Did you forget?

Xu Mingyi is the only girl in Zhen Guogong's mansion. If such trivial matters are forgotten, they are forgotten. No one will blame her, but she will be made fun of and belittled because of this "small matter"!

Seeing more and more girls looking at her, Zhan Yunjiao forced a smile on her face.

Just when she was about to speak out to save her face, a maid walked in and preached: "Second Miss, the girl from the Xu family is here."

Zhan Yunjiao was slightly taken aback when she heard the words.

"It's... Sister Xu?" She confirmed it as calmly as possible.

The little maid smiled and nodded.

Zhan Yunjiao hurriedly put down the teacup, "Please come in quickly."

While talking, he got up from the chair and greeted him.

Xu Mingyi walked in with Ah Kui.

"Sister Xu, you haven't recovered well yet, why did you come here in person?" Zhan Yunjiao approached the girl affectionately and took an arm of the girl.

Akui handed the brocade box in her hand to the maid at the side, and Xu Mingyi smiled slightly and said: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I came to join in the fun."

Although these words are not unpleasant, they are not very pleasant either.

She doesn't like the second girl of Zhan's family, even if she is acting on the occasion, she just wants to get along with her. If she shows too close, it will appear abnormal.

Zhan Yunjiao didn't mind either.

After all, Xu Mingyi has always been like this.

She was very happy that the other party could come today.

At this time, even if she didn't look at the girl from the Liu family, she knew what the other person's face was like.

"Sister Xu, sit down quickly."

Zhan Yunjiao smiled and pulled Xu Mingyi to sit down and talk.

Many girls also gathered around.

Xu Mingyi sipped his tea, coping with the girls' conversations.

For a moment, it seemed that she was the host of the birthday party.

Even though she didn't like Zhan Yunjiao, it was obviously not kind enough to come here to grab the limelight.

Besides, she has more important things to do.

"Everyone is talking, I'll go out for a walk." Xu Mingyi put down the teacup and said with a smile.

Zhan Yunjiao followed suit and got up: "Then how about I go with Sister Xu to enjoy the flowers in the garden?"

"No need." Xu Mingyi said with a smile on his face, "I'll go get some air and come back."

Zhan Yunjiao nodded knowingly: "Then I will ask the servant girl to guide Sister Xu—"

As he spoke, he called his personal servant girl over.

Xu Mingyi did not refuse.

After all, she really didn't know where Zhan's garden was.

Watching Xu Mingyi leave the yard, Zhan Yunjiao called another servant girl over, and quietly ordered: "Go to the eldest son's yard, tell him that Miss Xu is here, and now go to the garden alone..."

The servant girl responded in a low voice.

Zhan Yunjiao had a smile in his eyes.

She knew that her brother liked Xu Mingyi, although it might not be the real kind of liking.

After all, she didn't really like Xu Mingyi, but who made the other party the lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion?

Although in her heart, Xu Mingyi, a delicate and savage person, is not worthy of her outstanding brother, but if her brother can really marry Xu Mingyi as his wife, it will definitely benefit them a lot, and even her marriage will be affected. So it benefits——she doesn't even want to take a second look at the families who are coming to propose marriage.

She doesn't want to find someone to marry casually like the eldest sister.

...

There was a cool breeze blowing in the garden, Ah Kui looked around, feeling a little puzzled.

She has never seen such a small garden, is this really a garden? It's not as big as the small garden in their Xiyuan.

And it was dim and dark, except for two lanterns hanging in one pavilion.

Zhanjia is really poor.

Ah Kui sighed sincerely from the bottom of her heart.

And in such a garden, where is there any good place to go, I am afraid that the girl has other plans when she comes out alone?

The little girl guessed based on recent events.

Xu Mingyi walked unhurriedly.

If she guessed correctly, Zhan Yunzhu must have heard the news that she came to Zhan's house.

After Liu Yi's incident, Zhan Yunzhu has become more careful in his actions and words in order to conceal his intentions, but in this way, what he planned will inevitably be delayed - today she took the initiative to come to Zhan's house, it is undoubtedly a big deal for him A good opportunity to maintain the 'feeling' with the town government.

She bet he would come.

And it's bound to come very quickly.

After all, the garden is really too small, and she can't stroll around for too long.

Sure enough, the sound of footsteps came faintly to his ears soon.

After walking more than ten steps like this, at a fork in a small path, a moon-white young man's figure appeared in front of Xu Mingyi's eyes.

"Brother Zhan?"

Under the moonlight, the girl's face was slightly surprised.

Zhan Yunzhu had a strong smile on his lips, looked at her and said: "Just now I heard from Jiaojiao that you came to celebrate her birthday, and went for a walk in the garden alone, so I came to have a look, and it really happened."

Ah Kui subconsciously said in her heart - such a small garden, it would be difficult not to touch it, right?

Looking at the person in front of him, Xu Mingyi had a smile in his eyes.

He came to see her specially, so he made it clear that he came to see her.

He always knows when to speak the truth without concealment, making people feel frank while being trustworthy.

That's why she didn't realize that he could lie and deceive others before.

Fortunately, when it comes to deceiving people, she is not bad now.

"Speaking of which, I just have something I want to ask Brother Zhan—"
