Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Fanwai Three: (Yanxiu) Sauvignon Blanc (Part 1)

When Xia Chengxiu met Yan He for the first time, it was at a spring banquet with her cousin.

Said it was a spring banquet outing, but in fact it was just a noble young lady of the right age, looking for a chance to see each other. At that time, Xia Chengxiu was only sixteen years old. Although there were some married ladies at the age of Jingzhong, Master Xia was eager to spoil her daughter and did not intend to marry Xia Chengxiu early.

Therefore, Xia Chengxiu just followed his cousin out for fun.

In April spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the young grass is fluffy on the shore of Surabaya. Xia Chengxiu got out of the carriage with her cousin Xia Qianqian, and a lady she already knew put down the paper kite.

Seeing this, Xia Qianqian immediately asked her maid to take out the kite and walk to the friend.

Xia Qianqian is eighteen years old this year. Among a group of young ladies, her appearance is particularly outstanding. She is particularly sweet and charming. She also understands the strengths of her appearance. She wears a slim tulle embroidered long skirt with a narrow collar and outlines a slim figure. In, you can see her at a glance.

Her family background is also the most superior among this group of young ladies, but after a short while, she was surrounded by people and complimented her.

At that time, Xia Chengxiu was still a sixteen-year-old girl, at best she could only be called delicate, not to mention that compared with his cousin Xia Qianqian, Master Xia was called a nerd on weekdays, and Xia Chengxiu was secretly called Little nerd. She abides by etiquette, and looks a little dull and unlovable among her peers or sisters.

The relationship between Xia Qianqian and Xia Chengxiu is not close, but just an ordinary cousin. However, with Xia Chengxiu, a dull and boring nerd on the side, Xia Qianqian was charming and light, smart and eloquent.

Xia Chengxiu didn’t think there was anything to her. Seeing the excitement of her cousin and friends, she picked up the book and sat and read it. Xia Qianqian didn’t bother to care about her. After a while, everyone began to set up long banquets by the Surabaya waterfront. The long banquets were filled with snacks and snacks brought by the ladies from the mansion. They can eat here in the afternoon. of.

I don’t know how long it took, Xia Chengxiu heard the ladies next to her from the beginning talking about which new rouge color was beautiful, and it became “Today the Yan family will also come”.

“Young Master Yan Family” refers to the young master Yan Nanguang who is currently under the commander of the left and right forward camps. He is only 18 years old this year. My father intends to get married with the Yan family. Today, he is outing with the Yan family’s master and wife. It is because of the fate between the two juniors.

Xia Chengxiu also heard about this, but it was a matter of her cousin. She came out today to set off her cousin and read a book in the sun.

As I was thinking, someone coldly shouted at his side, “They’re here!”

Xia Chengxiu looked up, and saw a group of teenagers walking from far away on the bank of the long willow in front of the riverside of Surabaya. The headed teenager was wearing a silver robe. The color was too eye-catching, but he was handsome and tall. It was not surprising that his hair was tied into a ponytail and tied very high. His eyebrows were unruly, and he seemed to be a little irritable and impatience, but he set him apart from a crowd of teenagers.

Everyone says that there are three beauties in the city of Shuojing, the first son of Xiao and Ruochunfeng, the second son of Xiao Chan as autumn water, and the fourth son of Chu as elegant as a orchid, but this young man is like a silver gun, a little exaggerated, too gorgeous, but with With a straightforward impulse.

The handsome young man who came out in the spring is always exceptionally beautiful. It’s because Xia Chengxiu is not very interested in these things on weekdays, and can’t help but look at it more. In fact, based on this person’s looks, it should be counted. For the fourth beautiful.

Just thinking about it, the young lady sitting beside Xia Qianqian pushed a handful of Xia Qianqian and whispered: “Qianqian, this is Master Yan, it looks like a good match for you!”

Xia Qianqian blushed inexplicably.

Before coming, although she had heard Yan He’s name, she had never seen him as a real person. She didn’t know what he looked like. When she saw him today, she knew that he was so handsome. For a time, I was a little moved.

The group of teenagers didn’t come close, far away, a few teenagers were laughing and joking, and at the beginning they also took out the paper kites they had prepared, and began to have fun taking advantage of the east wind.

Over the sick sky of Surabaya, a lot of paper kites, sand swallows, magpies, two dragons and beads flew for a while…The silver-robed boy was surrounded by people, pushed, and finally followed him with an impatient face. A “Black King Kong” held in his hand.

“Black King Kong” flies very fast. This boy is very good at putting paper kites. The girls can’t help but cheer secretly while watching from a distance, but they can’t tell whether it is the paper kite that flies the highest. , Or the boy who put the paper kite.

Xia Qianqian looked around, and suddenly stood up and smiled: “Let’s go and let it go.”

In fact, the ladies had been put away for a while before, but these rich ladies were weak physically and had to sit down and rest after putting them away for a while, and the rest was handed over to the subordinates. Xia Qianqian stood up, walked to the servant girl who was holding her “Hundred Butterfly Picture”, and said, “I’ll come.”

The ladies sitting at the long table laughed immediately, and someone whispered: “It seems Qianqian likes it.”

Xia Chengxiu was a little puzzled when she heard the words, but she didn’t speak, because she was not a talkative person. I just saw Xia Qianqian pulling the paper kite’s thread, walking towards the river, and seeing the two paper kites in the sky getting closer and closer, hesitated to remind me, the next moment, I heard his cousin’s mouth “Oh!” Exclaimed, the “Hundred Butterfly Picture” and the “Black King Kong” thread were wound together, entangled and smashed into a ball, and fell to the other side of the forest.

The ladies beside them laughed louder, accompanied by whispers: “Qianqian is a good method.”

Xia Qianqian still held the paper kite thread in her hand, her expression flustered at a loss, but triumphant joy in her eyes.

She has full confidence in her appearance, if she wants to grasp the heart of a young man, it shouldn’t be a difficult task. Her rouge today is beautiful, and her skirt is also beautiful. She looked back at the silver-robed boy who was frowning at the entangled paper kite, then turned and ran into the woods where the paper kite fell.

At the same time, Xia Chengxiu, who was sitting on the side, also put down the book in her hand and stood up.

The lady beside her asked, “Girl Chengxiu, what are you going to do?”

“My sister’s paper kite is gone, I will help.” Xia Chengxiu replied.

“Why are you going to help me?” The talking lady covered her mouth and smiled, looking at her as if she was looking at a fool, with a little complicated sourness, “Qianqian doesn’t need your help now.”

Xia Chengxiu pursed her lips. She was worried about Xia Qianqian alone, so she ran over with her skirt.

The ladies called her a few times, and it was enough to see her ignored.

The wood that the paper kite fell into is not far from the river, but there are bushes growing in it. Girls walking in it, be careful that the thorny branches and leaves cut the corners of the skirt. Xia Chengxiu tried to pull the grass and trees away. Seeing a corner of her cousin’s pink dress not far away, she felt relieved and was about to walk over. Suddenly Xia Qianqian said, “Master Yan.”

After Xia Chengxiu’s movements, he saw that there was a person standing in front of Xia Qianqian’s eyes, who was the protagonist who we saw today, Master Yan.

Xia Qianqian’s voice was gentle and sweet, with a little panic and apologetic, “Master Yan, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”

Yanhe just looked at her with a frown.

His eyes were bright and sharp, Xia Qianqian looked at him with a guilty conscience for no reason, Xia Qianqian held the corner of his clothes anxiously: “Master Yan, now the paper kites are all tangled together, what should I do?”

Xia Qianqian’s brows and eyes were shy, and her voice was sweet. Xia Chengxiu finally realized that her cousin was probably “sedying” the Yan Gongzi, but she was too late to leave now, so she was forced to watch the next one for fear of disturbing the two in front of her. In the picture, I thought to myself that the next Master Yan would probably say “It’s okay”, “It’s none of your business” and so on, and then comforted him and sent Xia Qianqian home. After that, the marriage will be settled… …Should be like this, right?

“It’s okay.” As soon as he thought of this, the voice of the young man came in front of him. Xia Chengxiu said that it was true. When he looked up, he saw Yan He suddenly smiled nonchalantly, and drew out the knife at his waist, and neatly put the two paper kites between them. The entangled thread was cut with a single blow.

Xia Chengxiu was dumbfounded.

She was not the only one who was shocked. Xia Qianqian was stunned for a moment before asking, “What are you doing?”

“So it’s separated.” Yanhe put the knife away: “Don’t worry, I am a big-hearted person. If you deliberately destroy my paper kite, I will not care about it with you.”

Xia Qianqian grew up so big and was always held by people. How could anyone ever speak to her like this? For a while, shame came to her heart and cried out, “Who deliberately broke your paper kite!” Yan He slapped, lifted her skirt and ran away crying.

Xia Chengxiu was so frightened that she didn’t dare to express herself, she thought that Young Master Yan was really unexpected…

“Hey,” someone said in an angry voice, “the one peeking over there, has you seen enough?”

Xia Chengxiu was taken aback, was discovered?

In the next moment, that person had already walked in front of her.

Xia Chengxiu took a step back subconsciously.

Looking closer, this young man named Yan He is indeed very handsome, that is, he always looks condescending when looking at people. Yanhe was also startled when he saw Xia Chengxiu, frowned and said, “It’s you.”

He had seen Xia Chengxiu a long time ago in the group of noble women over the long banquet. She neither talked or laughed with those noble women nor put paper kites, but just sat next to Xia Qianqian and read, just like a decoration.

“The one just now,” he asked, “Who are you?”

Xia Chengxiu said: “Cousin.”

Yan He “hum” and said in disgust, “Pretending.” Pushing Xia Chengxiu away, he walked forward.

Xia Chengxiu didn’t think that Yanhe would suddenly push herself. She was a young lady who couldn’t lift her shoulders with her hands. Yanhe was a martial artist. She was pushed like this and pushed back a few steps without paying attention to her hand rubbing the thorny branches. , There was a red mark on the back of his hand in a moment.

There was such a red mark on the white skin, which looked very dazzling. Yan He was also stunned. He didn’t expect that these delicate young ladies were so fragile that they could be injured no matter how they touched them. He was a little irritable and couldn’t just ignore , Stepped forward to see her injury, but Xia Chengxiu immediately took a step back.

“You are injured.” Yan He said.

“I know,” Xia Chengxiu looked calm, as if she didn’t put the wound on the back of her hand to her heart, and her tone was flat, “but men and women can’t get married.”

Yanhe is a little puzzled. The girl in front of her is far from Xia Qianqian’s Mingli. She wore a light goose yellow dress with no powder, and she seemed to be incomprehensible at an age. How could she “give or accept it”?

He said: “The little girl is not very old, she is rather old-fashioned.”

Xia Chengxiu just turned sideways to avoid him: “I have a big heart, and Yan Gongzi deliberately pushed me about this. I won’t care about Yan Gongzi.”

Yan He was stunned.

After Xia Chengxiu said this, she turned around and left. Yan He touched her chin. This guy was avenging her cousin. It was the first time that he was choked by a woman like this. He looked gentle and he didn’t seem to be a loser.

After Xia Chengxiu left the woods, the ladies on the long banquet had also disappeared in twos and threes. Probably it was because Xia Qianqian was not happy to find Yanhe here, crying and riding the carriage to go back, Xia Chengxiu also had to hurriedly follow. So that when Yanhe came out, the group of noble ladies had already boarded the carriage.

There was a book lying in the grass beside the previous long table. Yanhe remembered that Xia Chengxiu was the only one sitting here reading a book when he came. This book was probably hers, and he forgot to leave in a hurry. He leaned over to pick it up, opened it and looked at it, it was a travel note. There are also people’s marks on the top, the handwriting is very beautiful, elegant and stretched, reminding people of the girl who just choked him in the woods just now.

Yan He curled his lips and said in a low voice: “Nerdy.” However, he took the travel book into his arms again, awkwardly.

……

This encounter with Xia Qianqian naturally ended without disease. Xia Qianqian’s parents even had a cold eye for Commander Yan for a while, Commander Yan turned around and scolded Yan He bloody, but Yan He himself disagreed.

But this “marriage” has no follow-up.

Time flies quickly, and another year has passed. Xia Chengxiu is seventeen years old. Master Xia is thinking that he should start looking at suitable young talents in the city of Shuo for Xia Chengxiu.

When Yanhe returned to the house, he heard that his mother was discussing with his aunt about matching his cousin to Xia Chengxiu.

“Xia Chengxiu?” Yan He stopped walking into the house, turned his head and asked, “But the young lady from the Imperial College Jiji Restaurant?”

“How do you know?” Mother Yan asked suspiciously: “Don’t you remember the names of these young ladies the most?”

Yanhe didn’t answer his mother’s question, but frowned and asked, “My cousin is two years older than me. Isn’t Miss Xia still younger? In terms of age, isn’t it more appropriate for me?”

Commander Yan scolded him: “Miss Xia is a scholar, and knows the book well. Didn’t you say that you hate nerds the most? Don’t you hate nerds the most? Match you, are you willing to do you?”

Yan He didn’t speak, went back to his house, looked at the pond outside the window for a long time, and pulled out a book from the bottom of the desk drawer.

That is a travel note.

In the middle of the night, when the dogs in Yan’s Mansion were asleep, Yan He put on his outer clothes and knocked on the door of his father and mother’s bedroom.

“Yan Nanguang, you scared people to death in the middle of the night, what are you doing!” Yan Commander was furious.

Yan He said: “I am willing.”

…….

After that, it was a long chasing day.

Yan He exhausted all his thoughts to please the beauty. Master Xia is fierce and staid. Yan He is a little scared every time he meets him. Xia Chengxiu is even more terrifying than Master Xia. She is clearly a little nerd with no hands, but every time she just uses those quiet eyes. Looking at him, Yan He was at a loss.

Commander Yan scolded him at home: “It’s like a cockfight on weekdays, how can you not even chase girls seriously! Why do people look down on you, can’t you think about it yourself?”

Yan He couldn’t think of it. He felt that he was quite good, with excellent appearance, agile skills and not bad family background. He was also one of the young talents in the city of Shuojing. Why Xia Chengxiu didn’t like him? It must be because that little nerd didn’t. Know how to admire men, have eyes but no beads. But he didn’t dare to say this in front of Xia Chengxiu.

Seeing her son’s worries all day long, Mrs. Yan was both gratified and helpless, so she had to beat him sideways: “Since you like them, treat them better. Take care of the girl’s house a little bit more, and Miss Xia can always see you well.”

Yanhe felt that what his mother said was reasonable, but he didn’t know how to treat someone nicely. All the jewelry, clothes and silks he sent were returned, and the love poem he wrote returned to his little servant the next day. He sometimes feels upset. When he first saw Xia Chengxiu, maybe he shouldn’t have been so rude and frivolous. It’s better than trying to remedy it now and still feel that the results are not good.

A proud son of the emperor, finally felt the feeling of being worried and insomnia for love.

Regardless of how he treats Xia Chengxiu, this girl treats him coldly from beginning to end. Therefore, when Yan He was asked to lead the Shangxia Mansion to propose marriage, Yan He initially went with a sense of failure. But he is about to lead his troops out soon. Life and death on the battlefield are fickle. If he doesn’t propose a marriage, he is afraid that he will never have a chance. It is better to be disappointed after trying, than to be disappointed after trying.

He thought so, but he didn’t expect that Master Xia actually agreed to the Yan family’s proposal.

He couldn’t believe it.

This was a happy event, but when it came to the end, Yan He himself flinched. If he were to die here and set a kiss for the two, wouldn’t Xia Chengxiu want to bear the infamy of Kefu?

He walked out of Xia’s house with great thoughts, and when he was about to go out, someone called him from behind: “Master Yan.”

Yan He looked back, Xia Chengxiu stood behind him, looking at herself quietly.

“I…” Yan He was short-lived.

“Master Yan.” This reticent and quiet girl smiled at him for the first time, gentle and graceful, like the spring willows on the banks of Surabaya, full of velvety and warmth.

“Come back early,” she said.

He froze for a moment, blushed inexplicably, and stared at the girl in the sun. When the maid beside Xia Chengxiu who was staring at Xia Chengxiu took out his broomstick and was about to stab someone, he coughed slightly and whispered. :”I will.”

After taking two steps, looking back, if nothing had happened, he added a sentence: “You wait for me.”
