C90 It's Just Around the Corner

Sikou Nianxi nodded and gently placed the teacup on the table. She lowered her head and looked at the table for a while. When she looked up again, a smile had already hung on Sikou Nianxi's face. "Cui Er, it has been so long since we last met. You have changed a lot."

"Oh?" Cui Er also smiled and looked at Sikou Nianxi, "Is that so? Then tell me, where did I change?"

She shook her head. Sikou Nianxi looked away. The maple tree in the yard was falling leaves again. The yard was covered in red. Sikou Nianxi's voice was faint, "I can't explain it, but you feel a little different from before. You have become... how should I say it? Your thoughts have become more meticulous and your considerations have become more thorough. It is not like the past..."

"You are not as simple and naive as before, are you?" "I..." Sikou Nianxi quickly shook her head, "I did not mean that." Cui Er heavily sighed and a bitter smile surfaced on her lips, "I have indeed changed a lot. I have been waiting by Madam's side every day and Servant Girl below is waiting to see me make a mistake. Seeing my joke, Nianxi, I have no choice but to change."

Sikou Nianxi nodded thoughtfully. "I understand." "What do you know?" Cui Er looked at Sikou Nianxi and smiled. "Nianxi, you haven't changed for so long!"

"Really?" Sikou Nianxi smiled and said, "I don't feel anything either." There was a cool breeze in the yard and the maple leaves fell. The sun in the sky was not as strong as before.

"Nianxi." Cui Er suddenly looked at Sikou Nianxi with a serious expression. No matter how I change, my love for you will never change. You saved my life. Just this point alone is enough for me to remember for the rest of my life. "

Sikou Nianxi heard this and reached out to hold Cui Er's hand. There was a warm smile on her face, "I know, I am the same."

Sikou Nianxi really did not have many people who truly treated her here. Cui Er was one and her grandmother was also one. Sikou Nianxi always cherished them very much.

"Alright, don't be unreasonable." Cui Er's eyes already had a slight sourness but still pulled her hand out from Sikou Nianxi's side with a smile. She said to Sikou Nianxi, "Nianxi, hurry up and leave. Look at the sun in the sky. It has already dimmed quite a bit. If you don't leave soon, be careful that there is no place to rest at night."

After Cui Er said this, Sikou Nianxi smiled and patted her head and hurriedly got up. "That's right. Then I will go and pack my things first. Cui Er, the sun is not as strong as before and the cool breeze is blowing. The scenery in my courtyard is also not bad. If you sit here for a while more."

Cui Er heard and nodded. She turned her head and looked around the courtyard. She smiled at Sikou Nianxi, "It was not easy for me to slip out today. If Madam finds out that I am here with you, I don't know what to do. I will sit here for a while and finish the cup of tea in my hand. It is time to leave."

Sikou Nianxi nodded at her. "That is good too. Do as you wish." After Sikou Nianxi finished speaking, she was just about to turn around and go back into the house when she heard Cui Er calling out to her from behind, "Nianxi!"

"What's the matter?" Sikou Nianxi smiled and turned around to look at Cui Er, "Is there anything else?" Cui Er narrowed her eyes and looked at Sikou Nianxi and asked, "I suddenly thought of something. Nianxi, Ah Shun is a high and low person. He only cares about profits. You will not give him any benefits. He will not care about you. Furthermore, he has always looked at people with his nose. He doesn't care about normal silver pieces, but I saw his fawning face yesterday. Nianxi, tell me, What did you give him?

So it was for this matter. Sikou Nianxi smiled and said," You are right. That Ah Shun is very domineering. He came to my place to clean the yard but did not even look at me. Furthermore, he looked down on the sweeping work. His eyes were higher than the sky, and there was only money in his eyes. Yesterday, I was able to ask him to help me bring the letter because I gave him a few priceless treasures. Those treasures are enough for him to use for his entire life! "Can he not show the two of us some respect?"

Cui Er heard and nodded but immediately frowned. She looked at Sikou Nianxi with a trace of confusion in her eyes," Nianxi, the salary that Prime Minister Mansion gave you is pitifully little. After Madam and a few Servant Girl's hands, there is not much left. Where did you get these priceless treasures from? "

Cui Er's eyes suddenly lit up and looked at Sikou Nianxi, "Could it be Shao Moli?" "That's right." Sikou Nianxi smiled and nodded. "Other than the number one young master in the capital, who else can give me so many priceless treasures?"

"Nianxi." Cui Er looked at Sikou Nianxi and her face was full of smiles, "I think that Shao Moli is very good to you." Sikou Nianxi was stunned when she heard that and her face was a little uneasy. "Yes, Mr. Shao is very good to me."

Cui Er looked at Sikou Nianxi and also stood up from the stone bench. She walked in front of Sikou Nianxi and whispered to her, "Nianxi, Shao Moli was the number one young master in the Imperial Capital, and he was also a talented young man. He is also a straightforward and upright person. In the entire Imperial Capital, There were so many women who wanted to marry him in the Imperial Capital that they almost broke their heads. You have to make good use of this opportunity. Sikou Nianxi saw that she was getting further and further away. She could not help but say," Cui Er, I... "

Before Sikou Nianxi could finish speaking, Cui Er made a shushing gesture in time. She signaled Sikou Nianxi to shut up and then she smiled and said to Sikou Nianxi, "Nianxi, I know what you want to say, but there are some things. You have to remember. Shao Moli is a good backing for you, and he is sincere to you. When you ask your grandmother to cancel your engagement with Leng Shaoyuan, you can consider Shao Moli. Also, in order to avoid any delay, You'd better let Shao Moli come to Prime Minister Mansion to propose marriage as soon as possible."

"Cui Er!" Sikou Nianxi frowned and said, "What are you talking about? I treat Shao Moli, I, I just treat him as my big brother!"

Cui Er smiled and shook her head. "But he may not treat you as his younger sister. Nianxi, listen to my advice. Shao Moli can help you in any way. What is even more rare is that he will treat you sincerely. In this world, marrying someone who likes you is much easier than marrying someone you like..."

After a pause, Cui Er continued, "Furthermore, Nianxi, it's not just about liking and not liking in your dictionary, right? You still want to take revenge for your parents. Look for your brother, but you've been in Prime Minister Mansion for so many years. You should know that Prime Minister will not help you, and you alone are too weak. If you can marry Shao Moli, you can borrow his family's power. What you're going to do is just around the corner."
