Chapter 15 [Green Plum Smell] If you like it, I can give it all to you...
Yan Huinan called out twice in a bluffing manner. He knew that no one would respond, but he still lowered his voice in case the family of this lovely sister was really nearby.
He had been a precious child since birth and had seen a lot, but he had never seen such a cute and clever sister. After taking a closer look, he was filled with joy.
This is like raising a cute and clingy raccoon or an immature snow fox cub. When you see it, you can't help but touch and rub it, wanting to play with all the fun treasures.
What's more, what can Yan Huinan not afford?
He was now worried that the lovely sister he had just discovered would be snatched away by someone else.
After confirming that no one had come to claim the house, Yan Huinan was delighted, and his face naturally lit up with joy. He bent down with a smile, supported his knees with both hands, and leaned closer to ask Xie Yun: "Sister, who are you from?"
In the light of the lantern festival, Xie Yun's eyes were hazy and she could only see a terrifying bone wolf mask. She was so scared that her eyes went dark and she stopped crying immediately. She grabbed Lusong's hand with her little hand and turned around to run away.
"Lvsong, run!" Xie Yun's voice was small and had a strong nasal tone, but he looked like a little master.
Yan Huinan tilted his head and looked at his friend blankly: "?"
Is he scary? He's so used to wearing this mask that he even forgets he's wearing one.
Yan Huinan was five feet tall when he was ten years old, and he could easily bend a bow and ride a horse. He had also practiced martial arts since he was young. How could Xie Yun, who was much shorter than him, outrun him?
He only took two steps at a time and ran twice to catch up with Xie Yun. Xie Yun was running forward, and he smiled and ran backwards. Just by doing this, he was able to keep pace with Xie Yun.
It is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Xie Yun was both scared and angry, and she could no longer bear it. Although her tone was clearly impatient, the buzzing nasal sound made her voice sound fierce and aggressive: "Don't chase me!"
Yan Huinan was as happy as if he had found a fun little treasure. He couldn't help but pull Xie Yun to him and said, "Stop and listen to me. I'm not a bad person. We are both children from well-known and good families."
He looked even more like a bad guy, and Yan Huinan himself figured out that something was wrong.
He quickly said, "The one who bumped into you just now was Young Prince Yu of Anyang Palace. If you want to complain, just go to Qinglong Street. His house is the most prestigious one. If you're lost and want to get home, don't even mention you're a young lady from the capital. Even if you were an ant in the fields, he would be able to find you home."
Yu Xian and Li Wei, who were following not far away: "..."
Yan Huinan is crazy!
Xie Yun naturally wouldn't believe it. But just as she was hesitating, Yan Huinan suddenly pulled her aside and handed her two bags of cakes. "These are cakes from Xianglanji. They're sold in limited quantities every day. Only I can buy them every time. I'm giving them to you."
Xie Yun couldn't tell for a moment if this person was a good person or not. If there was something fishy about this pastry...
Yan Huinan frowned when he saw that she was as cautious as a cat, but he still patiently opened the unopened oil paper, picked up a piece of crispy and fragrant cake and put it into his mouth, and ate it openly in front of Xie Yun to dispel her suspicion.
"Are you relieved now?"
Xie Yun had dinner early. After being out for such a long time and going through so much trouble, the glutton in his stomach was easily aroused by the fragrant and crispy little biscuits, and he made two gurgling sounds.
Xie Yun blushed immediately.
Yan Huinan raised the corners of his lips confidently, "See, you're hungry."
After saying that, he stuffed the cake into Lusong's hand and said, "Let's go. I haven't had a good time at the Lantern Festival tonight. If you accompany me for a stroll, I'll have this young prince send someone to take you home. Who are you from?"
Xie Yun really wanted to go home. The man in front of him looked trustworthy. There were so many people following them in a swaggering manner, and the guards were not wearing masks. They were wearing uniforms with family crests printed on them. They did not look like petty thieves.
Besides, these young masters don't look very old. Although they have bad tempers and wear strange and scary masks, they don't look like they are talking nonsense.
Moreover, if they did the opposite, think about how Prince Yu just now looked unwilling to get involved in this trouble with them. If he was really a villain, he would not use such complicated means when facing two unarmed young women like them, and could just take them away by force.
Xie Yun finally let down his guard: "Xie Mansion."
Yan Huinan thought for a while. He knew many noble families in the capital. Lord Wang's son owed him three hundred taels of silver. Lord Zhang's eldest son had upset him a few days ago and was beaten up by him. Lord Zhou's second son was caught by him drinking in a brothel a few days ago and he had just bribed him with fifty taels to keep it a secret... He looked at Lord Li's son and Prince Yu's son who were standing not far away... He didn't mention these two.
No thanks, sir?
But he had already boasted. If he said now that he didn't know her at all, the girl would run away again.
Anyway, his goal was to play with this cute little sister for a while, to trick her into leaving first. He would go back and ask his mother, which would be a good idea, as she might be able to stay at the princess's mansion for a night.
"Master Xie, I understand. I can send you back, but the price is that you have to accompany me to the Lantern Festival. Let's go to the pleasure boat first. I heard there will be fireworks there tonight." After Yan Huinan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xie Yun to reply, and pulled her away, but he didn't forget to turn around and say to Yu Xian and Li Wei, "That party is very boring. Let's go watch the fireworks!"
Yu Xian frowned, "My brother told me I must go, otherwise he will confine me to the mansion for the next month."
Li Wei was also embarrassed and said: "Ziyou, my two brothers have gone. If I don't go, I am afraid that my aunt will be implicated and blamed by my father."
Yan Huinan waved his hands in dissatisfaction: "Forget it, forget it, you guys go. I'll take her home later."
Yu Xian's face was filled with disbelief: "Do you know which adult it is?"
Yan Huinan clicked his tongue and said, "Nonsense."
Of course I don’t know.
After the two of them left, the remaining guards followed them not far away. Xie Yun, however, had no mood to play. If she returned late, she would definitely be severely punished. But she was worried that if she didn't agree to his request, she would really not be able to return.
Xie Yun: "When will we be back?"
Yan Huinan waved his hand: "No hurry." He had walked this street countless times before, and he had also participated in the Lantern Festival in the capital countless times, but he had never felt as fresh as today.
They passed by a small stall with its back to Linlangfang, which seemed to be the store where their mother had sent people to buy jewelry.
Yan Huinan: "Take a look, is there anything you like?"
Xie Yun took one look and was immediately captivated by the dazzling array of exquisite jewelry. Few women in the world could resist the allure of precious jewelry. Back in Baixia, her sisters wore flowers and jade in their hair, and their jewelry, hairpins, and rings were all made of the finest materials and the workmanship was top-notch.
Madam Yu had no savings and was not favored by her father, so she could only buy cheap and crude jewelry. However, Madam Yu was an excellent carpenter, and she could carve even dead branches and broken wood into vivid jewelry. Although Xie Yun loved her aunt's jewelry, she was often ridiculed by her sisters for it. After being ridiculed so many times, she inevitably felt a sense of inferiority.
Therefore, Yan Huinan said this with such generosity, and Xie Yun couldn't help but feel excited. She looked at Yan Huinan with her eyes shining with anticipation, "Can I really choose?"
Seeing that she liked it, Yan Huinan was already confident, and now he was even more proud and complacent, "If you like them all, I can buy them all for you."
Xie Yun is not greedy and feels lucky to get one.
She looked at the jewelry pieces over and over again, choosing for a long time. She liked many of them, but she was indeed a little hesitant. She was struggling in her heart, wondering which one to choose.
In fact, her favorite was a white orchid hairpin with an ice crack pattern and a beautiful water color. A quietly blooming magnolia flower on the golden hairpin caught Xie Yun's eye at first sight.
Xie Yun asked childishly, "Can you afford this?"
Yan Huinan raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and took the jade hairpin and put it on her.
The guards following behind were responsible for giving the silver.
"Let's go."
Xie Yun said cautiously, "I don't have the money to pay you back."
Yan Huinan smiled sincerely, "Since you are pretty, you don't have to pay it back."
"Thank you very much, sir." Xie Yun raised her hand and touched the jade hairpin, then looked at the young man in front of her wearing a bone mask. She originally thought he looked like a rogue, but at this moment she suddenly felt that he had become taller.
The two walked along the brightly lit street towards the riverbank. From afar, the pleasure boats in the lake looked like a revolving lantern tonight. The singers on the boats danced gracefully, the breeze moved the water, and the waves shone. It was a beautiful night.
The jade hairpin was just a small amount of money to Yan Huinan, nothing at all. At this moment, the fireworks had not yet been set off. Yan Huinan turned around and ordered his followers: "Go and ask when the fireworks will be set off."
"yes."
Sure enough, not long after, a series of explosions suddenly erupted from several small boats in the middle of the lake. The fireworks exploded as they rose to mid-air, illuminating the night sky like daylight.
Xie Yun: “!”
Green Pine: "Wow! So beautiful, young lady."
Yan Huinan was used to it. He had seen many fireworks competitions in the palace before. The various fireworks made by folk craftsmen and palace craftsmen who specialized in making fireworks were more novel than today's.
In the past, when there were fireworks competitions, Chang Heng would always chatter beside them, saying how beautiful it was. At that time, he just thought the little girl was really annoying.
But at this moment he just felt in a particularly good mood. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xie Yun beside him, feeling proud in his heart like a proud royal cat.
"What's your name?" Yan Huinan asked. The mask was a bit annoying and felt a bit stuffy after wearing it for a long time, so he raised his hand and took it off.
"Xie Yun, I've never been interested in worldly things. My nature is to love the charm of the hills and mountains." Xie Yun saw that he was generous and sincere, so she didn't hide anything and spoke frankly to him. "What about you?"
But when she turned her head, she found that the boy in front of her had taken off his mask. Under the terrifying mask and the brilliant firelight was an extremely handsome and elegant face. The facial lines were soft but not without edges. In his round and affectionate eye sockets were a pair of clear pupils, with the corners of his eyes drooping slightly, showing worry but not sadness.
The young man laughed heartily: "Me? I am the heir of Dingbei Marquis Mansion, Yan Huinan."
Xie Yun recognized him as soon as she saw the face clearly. He was the culprit who had just galloped on horseback through Zhuque Street, almost causing her to be trampled by the horse's hooves, and then indirectly caused her to get lost here!
How could she not recognize him?! The eldest princess's beloved son, a bastard who treated human life like worthless!
Yan Huinan was almost used to scaring others after announcing his name. He waved his hand in front of the stunned Xie Yun in amusement, "What? Are you scared?"
Xie Yun suddenly became like an anxious rabbit, her eyes bloodshot, she grabbed his hand angrily and bit it mercilessly!
"ah!!"
