Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 41: The Cousin of the Prince in the House Fighting Novel (9)

He Lanting didn't expect her expression to suddenly turn cold, and explained: "Of course not, it's just a little unexpected."

However, after hearing his explanation, Lin Xi's expression became even colder. "Surprising? Indeed, a woman like me who has been divorced once should be thinking about how to find a suitable husband every day. How can I have the leisure to read these books that are meant for men to read?"

He Lanting had never seen Lin Xi so sarcastic and sarcastic. Although Lin Xi was usually cold, this was the first time He Lanting saw Lin Xi being so sarcastic and keeping people at a distance.

As the eldest son of Duke Anguo, he had been pampered and respected since he was born. Although he was usually dignified and gentle, he still had some arrogance of a nobleman in his bones. Therefore, he felt a little annoyed after being scolded by Lin Xi's sarcastic words.

"I didn't mean that. Why do you have to be so self-deprecating? If I have offended the girl, I apologize here." After saying that, he bowed, turned around and strode away.

Behind her, Lin Xi saw him waving his sleeves and leaving. The angry look on her face instantly faded away, and she leaned lazily on the railing behind her.

"Host, why do you deliberately say such things to anger the second male lead? He obviously has a good impression of you." The system was puzzled.

"Do you know what the well-known love stories since ancient times have in common?" Lin Xi asked instead of answering.

"Of course these love stories have happy endings." The system answered without hesitation.

"Oh, so AI can never replace humans. Let me ask you, which of these stories, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Romeo and Juliet, etc., has a happy ending?"

The system searched for the endings of these stories, fell silent, and asked uncertainly, "Why is that?"

"Because of twists and turns, those originally ordinary love stories will become particularly touching and unforgettable. You said that He Lanting has a good impression of me, but this little good impression is not enough to make him, who has always been polite and courteous, do anything. Perhaps over time, this liking will slowly turn into love, but I don't have that much patience. Therefore, the fastest way to make him fall in love with me and further change his original fate is to create contradictions and conflicts."

After listening to Lin Xi's words, the system was completely amazed. It no longer questioned Lin Xi's decision and shut up quietly.

Seeing that it was sensible, Lin Xi stood up and said to it, "Learn well", then walked slowly to the entrance of the garden. Seeing a few servants tending to flowers and plants not far away, he also put on an angry look and passed by them quickly.

So before noon, the news that the eldest son and his cousin had quarreled in the garden and left angrily one after another spread throughout the Anguo Mansion.

Xie was a little surprised when she heard the news reported by Zhenzhu, and she couldn't help asking, "Did Ting'er and Xixi have a quarrel?" In Xie's eyes, these two were both gentle people, and they got along well these days. They even had a life-and-death friendship at Princess Hexin's mansion that day, so it didn't seem like they would have a quarrel.

"Of course I dare not say anything nonsense. Several servants outside the garden saw it and said that the two of them looked very angry, especially the eldest master. He seemed to be so angry that he kicked the stones on the road far away." Seeing that Xie didn't believe it, Zhenzhu hurriedly described the situation vividly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie could not help but chuckle. Her son had been a mature boy since he was young. When he grew up, he had mastered the skill of not showing his emotions. But now he behaved in such a childish way. Mrs. Xie could not help but become curious, so she suppressed her laughter and instructed Zhenzhu.

"Go and call the maidservant beside Xixi..." Having said this, he paused and changed his mind, "Forget it, I'll go there myself. I'm going to attend a banquet at the Chu family tomorrow, and I can go and see how Xixi is preparing." After saying that, he took Zhenzhu to Xunchunyuan.

In Xunchun Courtyard, Lin Xi was writing. The fine rabbit-hair brush was soaked with pine soot ink and fell on the paper. A majestic and solemn "Lin Cheng'an Palace Tie" appeared on the paper. Xueyun brought in tea and saw Lin Xi was copying the calligraphy. She did not disturb him, but put the tea aside and quietly walked to the side to grind ink for Lin Xi.

About half a minute later, Lin Xi put down her last stroke, exhaled and put down her pen. Xue Yun came forward to untie her belt and said softly, "Girl, take a break. The Laojunmei tea you just brewed is just right for you now."

Lin Xi responded and let her untie the restraints. She brought the tea over and opened the lid. Sure enough, the tea was bright in color and fragrant. The meal sent by the kitchen in the morning was a bit greasy, and this Laojunmei was just right to help digestion. She couldn't help but praise Xueyun, "Sister Xueyun, you still love me. It's just right to drink this now."

Xue Yun was packing up her writing brushes and ink at the table. She just smiled and didn't say anything after hearing this. She looked at what Lin Xi had just written. She was still smiling at first, but her smile faded later. She glanced at Lin Xi and asked tentatively, "Miss, are you still angry with your cousin?"

Lin Xi paused while drinking her tea, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "No, why do you say that, sister?"

Xue Yun sighed and slowly said, "This 'Cheng'an Palace Post' was written by Duke Wei of the previous dynasty when he passed by the emperor's palace. The whole post has 762 words. The first few verses are all describing the beauty of the palace, which is no different from other eulogies. Only the last verse changes the subject, 'So I know that life and death are all illusory, honor and disgrace are hard to survive, how can I express my sorrow', lamenting the grief and indignation of being born at the wrong time and being unable to express one's heart. It was originally a sad and angry statement, so the handwriting on the original post was a little deformed, and the handwriting on the young lady's copy was even more flying. I think it was because of the dispute with the young master that it was revealed in the handwriting."

Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh that Xue Yun was indeed very attentive. She put down her teacup and sighed, "It's not all about this. I'm just looking for trouble."

Seeing Lin Xi's dejected look, Xue Yun slowly walked to her side, slowly squatted down, gently but firmly held Lin Xi's hand, her eyes were like a pool of calm lake water, staring at Lin Xi quietly, "Whatever you are worried about, you can tell me."

Lin Xi was being watched by her gentle eyes, and her frown relaxed a little. Just as she was about to speak out about her annoyance, she heard the maid's announcement from the yard, "The Madam is here."

The two of them hurriedly got up. Lin Xi straightened her clothes, which were wrinkled due to the entanglement of her arms, and left the study to greet people in the yard.
