Qi Chen was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing that he was silent, Qin Shuang continued, "I know, you have taken care of me and helped me many times along the way. But I can't marry you just because you helped me? We just met It's been more than a month, and it's not appropriate to talk about marriage now."

"Do you think it's inappropriate for us to know each other for a short time, or do you think our relationship is inappropriate?" Qi Chen asked suddenly.

"It's all right," Qin Shuang replied without thinking, "In short, I don't think it's better to bring up this matter again. Besides, my purpose of coming here has been achieved, you ask me to help you find a way to persuade my aunt to return to you. , I helped too. Now that it's all over, I should go home too."

"But……"

"But what?" She stopped him.

After a while, she saw that he couldn't say what he wanted to say, so she walked over and patted him, "Brother Qi, it's not appropriate to rush to marry someone else just now that your engagement has just been dissolved. What's more Senior Aunt and Senior Uncle have just met each other, and I think that soon, there will be a big wedding in Qijiazhuang. When the time comes, please invite me to have a wedding wine."

"Shuang'er, you don't want me to propose marriage, are you thinking of me?"

Qi Chen's eyes lit up.

"Hey, don't be so sentimental," Qin Shuang looked at him, "I'm thinking about my aunt. Although it's been so many years, if my aunt just stays with my uncle like this, it's not justified. It didn't go well, so no matter how you say it, we have to hold a wedding to make up for the regrets of the year."

"Well," Qi Chen nodded, "Actually, my father is planning to hold a wedding."

"Let me just say, this is a grand event in the world. When the time comes, everyone will come to congratulate, and the house will be full of guests. But, this glass of wedding wine is really hard-won."

"Yeah," Qi Chen nodded, "but luckily my dad waited."

Qin Shuang smiled at him, but said nothing, she found a cool and clean place and sat down.Qi Chen also sat down with her.Both fell silent, quietly watching the morning woods.

On the other side of the woods, two people who reunited after 20 years are talking about something.

"After so many years, you are still as beautiful as before." Qi Yun sighed.

"Stop talking nice things to make me happy. Let me ask you, whose idea was it to trick me here? Was it Chen'er's? Or yours?" Li Muxue asked.

"Neither of them." Qi Yun shook his head, and then smiled, "You must have never thought of it. That girl Qin Shuang came up with this idea. Chen'er and I just perfected it a little bit."

"Shuang'er?" Li Muxue was puzzled for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Yes, Chen'er is a simple and honest person, how could he think of this? It turned out that Shuang'er thought of it, it seems that she already knew about my relationship with Chen'er gone."

"Not to mention who came up with the idea," Qi Yun smiled, "I think this idea is very useful, at least it coaxed out my junior sister who hadn't been out of the village for 20 years."

"You also know that I was coaxed out?" Li Muxue said, "I'll go back now, no matter what you say in the future, I won't come out." After speaking, she turned around and pretended to leave.

"Don't, don't, don't," Qi Yun pulled her back, "Is it my fault? But, we did this because you refused to see me or Chen'er for so many years."

Li Muxue turned around and looked at him, without speaking for a while.

After a while, she asked, "How have you been in the past 20 years? Are you okay?"

"It's okay," Qi Yun exhaled, as if he had exhaled all the difficulties and ups and downs in the past, and said to her with a smile, "You see, I'm not doing well now. I have the foundation of Qijiazhuang, and Chen You are such a good son, and most importantly, I finally saw you."

"Those years, the first few years, must have been very difficult, right? You had to work to support Chen'er, and you wanted to build the Qi Family Village by yourself. You must have suffered a lot when you were alone at that time?" Li Muxue asked in a low voice.

"No," Qi Yun said lightly, "At that time, I wanted to make a name for myself, so I put Chen'er in foster care with a farmer's family, and went to the rivers and lakes by myself. I took some time to watch him every year until he was seven years old. The family estate has already been built, so I brought him back."

"Second Senior Brother," Li Muxue listened to his words, "Have you ever hated me?"

"Hate you? Why hate you?" Qi Yun smiled, "Actually, I have always been grateful to you for giving birth to Chen'er. Even if you don't want to see me or him, I don't have the slightest hatred for you."

Li Muxue burst into tears when she heard this, "Second Senior Brother, I'm sorry, it's all because I'm too capricious..."

Qi Yun wiped the tears off her face very naturally.

In that moment, they seemed to have returned to many years ago, when they were still young, and when she was sad and crying, he was mostly by his company.

"Oh, Junior Sister, don't cry, your little face is covered in tears, it's not pretty anymore..."

At that time, he wiped her tears and coaxed her like this.

"Am I not beautiful?! You still said I was the most beautiful."

"Okay, okay, you are the most beautiful, but it's not okay to cry so much, your eyes are swollen from crying, no matter how beautiful you are, you can't show it." He said.

……

"Don't cry, you are such an adult, how come you still look like you were a child." Qi Yun said.

"Are you trying to say that I'm not pretty anymore?" Li Muxue said.

"Although the eyes are swollen, they are still beautiful."

Li Muxue laughed immediately, "That's not what you said."

Qi Yun smiled, and then asked: "Junior Sister, how about you? How have you been all these years? Is the village still stable?"

"It's okay," Li Muxue wiped away her tears, "I've been depressed for a while since you left, but then I figured it out. Since Dad left me the Bishui Villa, I have to take care of it. That's right." , she suddenly thought of the third senior brother, and asked: "All these years, do you have any news about the third senior brother outside?"

"No," Qi Yun shook his head, "I have been inquiring about him for so many years, but he disappeared completely, as if he had evaporated from the world."

"That's right," Li Muxue said, "Actually, I've been looking for him all these years. Senior brother and you both have whereabouts, but he has no news at all. I've been wondering if something happened to him. Moreover, the frightening feather fan has not fallen either."

"Not necessarily," Qi Yun said, "It's also possible that he has retired from the Jianghu with the startling feather fan."

"I hope. I really hope that the third brother is all right."

Qi Yun suddenly smiled, looked at Li Muxue, and said, "Actually, you have changed a lot in these years."

"Really? What have I changed?" Li Muxue asked.

"Hmm... My temperament has become gentle and calm. When I found out that I was cheated, it was rare that I didn't get angry."

"Okay, you, you want me to get angry and then lose my temper?"

Li Muxue felt a little funny when he heard what he said: she wasn't angry, he wasn't used to it yet.

"No, no, no," Qi Yun waved his hand, "I mean, your changes are very good, very good."

Having said that, both of them were speechless. 20 years have passed by and a lot has changed.Age, appearance, temperament, responsibility, situation, emotion...

Qi Yun didn't know how to explain to her that although 20 years had passed, his heart and ambition remained unchanged. He still thought she was that beautiful junior sister who loved to cry, and he was still willing to take care of her all the time, but... …

Li Muxue didn't know how to express it to him. In the past 20 years, her arrogance, selfishness and self-will have faded away. Although time has brought her countless regrets and regrets, it has also brought her the most precious knowledge and awakening.However……

In the river of time, there is beauty and hope, but more bitterness and misery.

Thinking back on the past, the two remained silent. Neither of them dared to express their feelings and thoughts at the moment. At the same time, they were afraid that once they spoke out, they would face rejection and irreparable.

The two were silent for a quarter of an hour.

In the end, it was Li Muxue who spoke first, but she was only probing: "Second Senior Brother, you tricked me out just to see me?"

Qi Yun turned to look at her, "Junior Sister, I just want to ask you a question when I see you."

"What's the problem?" For some reason, she suddenly became nervous.

"When I left, I said I would wait for you. It has been 20 years now, but you have never wanted to see me, junior sister. Today, I just want to see if my junior sister still cares about my life and death. I just want to Ask, junior sister, would you like to go back to Qijiazhuang with me?"

When Qi Yun said the words, he felt relieved, but became nervous again.

Li Muxue was startled.

He said, "Follow me back to Qijiazhuang".Instead of "follow me to Qijiazhuang".

"Go back to Qijiazhuang?" She asked, "But have you thought about it, what capacity should I go there?"

Qi Yun was overjoyed, "Junior Sister, you agreed!"

"What are you talking about? What did I promise?" Li Muxue was puzzled.

"You promise to go back with me," Qi Yun said, "Don't worry, this time, even if you are here to propose marriage, when I return to the village to make arrangements, within a month, I will definitely marry you!"

"When did I say I was going to marry you? When did you ask for a kiss?"

"Wait a minute," Qi Yun clapped his hands deep in the woods, it was controlled by internal strength, it should be some kind of signal.

But after a while, Rong Huan appeared with a carriage.

There was a big box on each carriage, and because the front was blocked, Li Muxue only felt that the convoy was huge, but he couldn't tell how many carriages there were.

"There are twenty carriages in total. There are twelve springs on the carriages, betrothal money, ornaments, various gifts, bamboo salutes, cannon salutes, incense salutes, etc. I will show you the gift list when I come back." Qi Yun said.

Li Muxue was dumbfounded.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as if you agreed to accept it." Qi Yun smiled and saw her stunned, so he patted her, "Let's go, I will transport these things back to Bishui Villa."

"Wait, Second Senior Brother," Li Muxue came to his senses and looked at him, "You came here with such a big fanfare? You are not afraid, I won't accept these things?"

"There was no fanfare, and we came here at night. You said we haven't seen each other for 20 years, and it's so hard to meet. How can we do it without giving you a gift." Qi Yun smiled.

"But you don't need to give so many... presents, right?" Li Muxue was suddenly a little scared.

Qi Yun looked back, then turned his head again, "These are not too many, just treat it as a car for a year, not too many."

"But... But you see, I am the owner of Bishui Mountain Villa. If I accept these things from you, even if there are a lot of gold and silver treasures in them, I won't be worth it." Li Muxue said.

"Why is it not worth it?" Qi Yun smiled.

"Because I have taken this thing, I have to go to Qijiazhuang with you. It doesn't matter whether Qijiazhuang has Bishui Mountain Villa, but the wife of the owner of the villa is not as prestigious as the owner of the villa!" Li Muxue said.

As soon as she spoke, Rong Huan behind him burst out laughing.

"Look, the children behind are laughing at you," Qi Yun looked back at Rong Huan, and then said, "I've made up my mind, you accept this gift, and when we get married in the future, you will still be the villager of Bishui Mountain Villa." Lord, it’s just that you live in Qijiazhuang, so you can send more people to guard the Bishui Mountain Villa. If you want this place, I can accompany you to stay here for a while.”

Li Muxue instantly felt that she was on a thief ship.

She couldn't help wondering: "It's only been two days since you received that letter. No, except on the way to deliver the letter, the way you came here, and the time when you were in Qijiazhuang and others to divorce Chen'er. There is only one day left, how did you prepare these twenty boxes of things?"

"The Twelve Spring Festivals were prepared temporarily, and the rest of the gifts were prepared long ago." Qi Yun replied.

Li Muxue was speechless.

When did he prepare these things?And knowing that I could see myself, I brought it here immediately.He never thought, would he refuse?

"I said junior sister," Qi Yun saw that she was still hesitating, so he said with a smile: "Your second senior brother, I have been standing here all night, and I didn't eat this morning. I'm going to faint from hunger now, it's time for you Site, don't you want to invite me to sit in your manor and have a delicious meal?"

"Then... that's fine." Li Muxue was also embarrassed by what he said, and finally agreed, "But I didn't agree to take your twenty carriages. You can send them back after dinner."

"Okay, just leave the box on the carriage." Qi Yun said.

Li Muxue gave him a helpless look, and led them towards the Bishui Villa, leading the horse.

Qi Chen and Qin Shuang were working when they suddenly saw Li Muxue and Qi Yun approaching, followed by Rong Huan, who led the entire convoy.

"Chen'er, Shuang'er, let's go back to Bishui Villa for now." Li Muxue said to the two of them.

"Oh, good." Qin Shuang replied, and then walked behind the uncle and aunt with Qi Chen.She asked Qi Chen in a low voice: "Qi Chen, why does my uncle bring so many carriages? What are the boxes on the carriages?"

"Guess what." Qi Chen replied in a low voice.

"Isn't it...money in it? Is your father offering a betrothal gift?"

"Yes." Qi Chen nodded.

"Yes, this formation is really big enough." Qin Shuang said, looking at the motorcade behind.

"Shh, don't talk," Qi Chen made a gesture of silence, and at the same time glanced at his parents who were walking in front.

Qin Shuang immediately shut up.

When the five returned to Bishui Villa, Qi Yun was the one who was most moved.

I haven't been back for so many years. According to Chen'er, the courtyard where I lived in the past has been extremely dilapidated, but the rest of the villa is still intact.It can be seen how much resentment my junior sister has towards that matter.

Now that I am back, I have experienced so many ups and downs outside, but this place is still standing still, delicate and beautiful.Bishui Mountain Villa is my childhood and youth, and it is also my dream home...

He watched along the way, and the waiters next to him also saluted himself and his junior sister. Looking back on his childhood days, he couldn't help feeling like a dream...

Li Muxue hosted a banquet in Hui's living room, and Qi Chen, Qin Shuang, and Rong Huan toasted to them one by one, congratulations.The two of them were very happy after drinking, but they were also a little bit embarrassed.

After the meal, Qi Chen hurriedly found an excuse to pull Qin Shuang out.

Qin Shuang was dragged all the way by him, walked to the corner, and said, "Why did you drag me out so early? I'm about to say goodbye to my aunt!"

"Are you going?"

"Of course, my business is over, and my aunt is getting married too. She must not have time to accompany me recently. Why am I staying here?"

"It's not easy for you to come out and go back like this?" Qi Chen was a little bit reluctant.

"What else can I do if I don't go back like this?" Qin Shuang sighed, "The main reason is that I always feel that something happened at home recently. It's that kind of faint worry. So I want to go back quickly."

"But...you were not safe when you came here, what if you run into danger on the way back?" Qi Chen said.

"Oh, there are so many dangers," Qin Shuang became a little impatient, "Anyway, I have to go back, and I think now is the best time. Hey, when the time comes, I'll just go to the wedding. I can meet you."

"Then you have been dragged out by me now, when are you going to say goodbye?" Qi Chen asked.

"It's already noon now. Let's wait until the evening, when the Second Martial Uncle has left. By the way, are you going back with the Second Martial Uncle?"

"Should be," Qi Chen nodded, and then asked: "After you bid farewell, are you going to leave tomorrow?"

"Well," Qin Shuang nodded, "I'll be going home tomorrow."

Qi Chen also nodded, secretly planning something in his heart.

April 23.

In just one day, the news that Qi Chen and Quan Yulu called off their engagement almost spread throughout the world.

There are different opinions in the Jianghu. Some people say that although Young Master Qi and Miss Quan are childhood sweethearts, they are just brothers and sisters, so they should be recognized as younger sisters now; Jiazhuang was afraid of Qinjiazhuang, so he had to cancel the engagement; some people said that Miss Quan had taken a fancy to Mr. Qin, and she took the initiative to go to Qinjiazhuang with him. In the end, Mr. Qi couldn't bear it anymore and canceled the engagement...

All these rumors also reached Su Xueyin's ears.

He already had some ideas in his mind - it would be great if the young master could marry Miss Quan as his wife.What's more, the young master went to drink with Miss Quan yesterday, and this matter has spread throughout the Qin family village.My body is getting worse and worse, and cold poison attacks are becoming more and more frequent. There is no other medicine in the world that can save me.

Five years, I can live up to five years, and now it seems that it is very likely that I will not be able to survive.

How many five years can life have?Although the past few years have been hard, but also happy...

However, there is a time to wake up from the dream.

The author has something to say: What changes has Li Muxue made?

Why is Qi Yun so anxious to get married?

After waiting for 20 years, will the two be happy?
