【September-Invitation】
"General, Miss Qiao has returned the invitation."
At the gate of the Protector General's Mansion, Wangshan held up a gold-plated invitation to his master. He was puzzled as he watched the light in his master's eyes dissipate little by little, and the smile on his face disappear little by little.
Isn’t today the general’s celebration banquet? The general didn't look happy at all.
The new residence given by the Holy Spirit was decorated both inside and outside. In addition to lanterns and red silk lanterns, it was also decorated with various flowers.
Colorful flowers swayed slightly in the night, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
Xie Yu'an slowly raised his hand, took the invitation, and still said with some reluctance: "Is she sick?"
She has only been back from Lintai County for more than a month, and she is probably just about to recover.
It rained so heavily the day before yesterday and she returned to the city in such a drenched condition that she wouldn't be sick again.
Wangshan shook his head, "Miss Qiao's family is fine. When I went there, there was a carriage parked at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. Prince Lu of the Duke's Mansion is also hosting a banquet tonight, and Miss Qiao's family is going to attend Prince Lu's banquet."
Prince Lu? Lu Jinzhi?
Xie Yu'an was stunned. The day before yesterday, he had witnessed her waiting in the rain at Xiangguo Temple, and he had watched her being ridiculed by Lu Jinzhi, and he had watched her cry and rush into the rain...
Did she still choose to forgive Lu Jinzhi?
It turns out that the rumors outside are true, and she really likes Lu Jinzhi.
"It's good that you're not sick." Xie Yu'an comforted himself.
At least she wasn't sick and she was safe.
Xie Yu'an held the invitation and was about to turn around when his figure suddenly swayed.
He forgot that he was not on crutches.
In order not to look so ugly, he threw away his crutches.
He didn't want to see him as a cripple when they met again, a cripple who couldn't walk.
But some things cannot be changed after they happen.
For example, he is a cripple now.
For example, he was late.
It's too late.
One step too late was too late, not to mention he was five days late.
Xie Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the door frame, and Wangshan also exclaimed and stepped forward to help him.
In the end, although he didn't fall down, he was still covered in cold sweat and there was severe pain in his legs.
Xie Yu'an stood firm, panting, and waved his hand to the servants: "Get out of here."
Wangshan looked at the mansion with lights and colorful decorations, and asked puzzledly: "General, what about the celebration banquet tonight?"
What kind of celebration banquet, he only invited her, and she didn't come, what kind of banquet is this, and what kind of celebration is it?
Seeing that she was safe and had found the one she loved, he was happy for her.
real.

【November - Zhang Ji Dim Sum】
Xie Yu'an's leg injury finally healed, and he couldn't wait to go to Zhang Ji's dim sum shop.
That snack shop was indeed famous. Even though he arrived early in the morning, he was still at the end of the queue.
The line was long, but it didn't matter, the snacks weren't important, he came to see her.
Qiao Yin abides by order very much. Even when there are many people in front of the dim sum shop, she will bring her maid to maintain order.
Regardless of whether you are a prince or a nobleman, when it comes to this snack, you have to be on a first-come, first-served basis. Everyone has to line up obediently, otherwise he will be punched by his maid.
Her maidservant is very brave, and can shake an old willow tree three times with just one punch.
When Qiao Yin was around, Zhang Ji was the most orderly store in the capital.
Qiao Yin comes to Zhang Kee every day, and Xie Yuan also goes to Zhang Kee every day.
He is probably the second person in the whole capital who hopes Zhang Ji's business will prosper the most, besides Zhang Ji's boss.
The better Zhang Ji's business is, the longer his queue will be, and the longer he can see Qiao Yin.
Separated by all kinds of people, they stood in the same line, sometimes a dozen people, sometimes seven or eight people.
The most recent time, he was standing behind her, half an arm's length away. When a gust of wind came, her skirt would rise slightly and touch the toes of his shoes. He could even smell the faint fragrance of her hair. The fragrance of plum blossoms.
His heart was beating uncontrollably, subconsciously expecting her to turn around, expecting her to see him.
He was thinking in his mind, what would her expression be like when she turned her head and saw him, and what should he say first?
Pretend to be acquainted for the first time, and strike up a conversation like those frivolous men, "Does the girl also like the snacks here?" ’
It was better to call out her name first and say, 'Long time no see, my ally. ’.
Will she recognize herself? She will definitely hate him for breaking the promise and gnash her teeth at him, so how should he explain it?
Xie Yuan imagined many situations, but none of them happened because——
Qiao Yin never turned his head from beginning to end.
She didn't find him.
That day, Qiao Yin bought a lot of snacks.
A big bag full of jade bean cakes, glutinous rice cakes, white sugar cakes and water chestnut cakes, with all kinds of flavors, all for Lu Jinzhi.
Xie Yu'an watched Qiao Yin leave holding the pastries with expectation, and he hoped that one day he could taste the pastries she bought.
No, he couldn't bear to let her wait in such a long queue.
