"Yes, girl. Hongyun answered and withdrew.

Zhou Mingshan got up and stood under the window and looked outside, the sunset with only a line left in the sky painted the blurred houses and willows in the distance with a layer of hazy color, and a few residual plum trees gradually lost their color, she sighed, and she didn't know what her father would say.

"Girl, let's eat first!" I don't know when Duxiang has already brought the food box and is arranging the dishes and spoons.

Zhou Mingshan turned around and walked to the edge of the kang table and sat down, the dishes that were full of flavor and fragrance in the past failed to arouse her appetite at the moment.

I picked a few chopsticks and shredded tofu cold, drank half a bowl of chicken soup, and put the chopsticks aside.

Frangipani looked at her worriedly, and wanted to persuade her to use more, but she also knew the girl's temperament, so she simply shut up, packed up her things, and prepared to instruct the small kitchen to carry some more food on her back, so that the girl would not be hungry again for a while.

Time passed in a flash, the room was quiet, and the few Frangipani knew that Zhou Mingshan was in a bad mood, so they simply retreated to the outside room to wait.

......The lights in the candlestick on the table flickered from time to time, and Zhou Mingshan was a little annoyed watching the wax oil flow down drop by drop.

She simply stood up and walked around the table, it had been more than half an hour, and with Hongyun's legs and feet, she could have walked back and forth, but there was no news at this time.

No, I can't wait like this, I was about to call Frangipani to come in and have a look, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door.

"Girl, the slave is back!"

"Come on in!"

As the curtain was lifted, a red cloud with a cold wind entered the inner room, and his face was very ugly.

"Girl, slave maid ......" Hongyun couldn't say any more.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingshan's heart sank instantly, giving birth to a feeling of not being secondary, she couldn't help herself, "What the hell is going on?"

Hongyun hurriedly replied: "The slave maid went to the third master's study and called the person on the door to report, but after waiting for a long time, there was no reply. Later, I couldn't wait any longer, so I thought of a way to coax them to leave and enter the courtyard. Don't want to, don't want to ......"

Hongyun paused as he spoke, glanced up at Zhou Mingshan, and then continued, "People who don't want to serve outside the door are not allowed to enter, saying that the third master ordered that no one should be disturbed without his permission." The slave begged for a lot before someone went in to report, but when she came out, she replied that the third master was going to rest, and if the girl had something, please talk about it another day. ”

"What?"

Zhou Mingshan stood up "ho", and a new colored porcelain tea on the table was taken by her and fell to the ground, and it was shattered with a "dangchang".

Why didn't my father see her? Just to see her, and it didn't take much effort, was my father so angry?

She only felt that her feet were weak and her chest was clogged.

"Su Xin, when you go with Hongyun again, you must see your father, just say that I have something very important to say, please come in with him!"

Su Xin agreed, and hurried away with Hongyun.

The pile of incense standing on the side glanced up at Zhou Mingshan from time to time.

The white jade-like face turned red, his chest went up and down, and his hands were clenched into fists, obviously angry!

Dui Xiang couldn't help but be a little annoyed, although this is the master's business, they have no right to mix as subordinates, but the third master has never been like this before, what's wrong now?

In the past, it was not said that the girl didn't dare to give the moon if she wanted the stars, but she always loved it, and this time it was just a misunderstanding strictly speaking.

"Girl, you can also dissipate your anger, maybe the third master is just tired!" Dui Xiang poured another cup of tea and handed it over, although he thought so in his heart, he still had to persuade him.

Zhou Mingshan tried her best to suppress her anger, and sat back in her chair and rubbed the teacup to think.

What does Father mean by this, is he really resting or is he deliberately avoiding her?

No, you can't wait like this, Zhou Mingshan put the teacup on the table, stood up and walked outside.

"Girl, where are you going?"

"Go to the outer court!"

"Girl, this doesn't ......"

"Either keep up or shut up!"

The last word before Duxiang was said was blocked back into her throat by the cold tone, she stomped her feet, but finally didn't dare to say more, and quickly picked up Zhou Mingshan's cloak and chased after her.

Outer courtyard, Zhou Ze's study.

Zhou Ze was lying on his back on the poplar Ruyi pattern Taishi chair with his eyes closed.

The room was silent, save for the sound of "tick-tick ......" from the large wall clock on the wall.

"Dong Dong......" The person serving outside the door suddenly called, "Third Master, the Frangipani girl next to the fourth girl is here!"

Zhou Ze frowned, still lying motionless, and sighed for a while. Just as he was about to get up, the corner of his eye swept to the exam questions transcribed above the table, and he remembered the ill-intentioned eyes of those people on the field, and sat back down.

What can Sister Shan do in a hurry, if there is really an emergency, why don't you spread the word, you have to let him go back to the inner courtyard, not to intercede for the Yuan family.

Hmph, it's also that he has been too accustomed to their mother and daughter over the years, so he simply let them have a long memory this time!

Immediately, he commanded outside the door: "Let her go back, tell Sister Sù Shan'er, I know what she has to say, and I'll talk about this another day!"

"Yes!" someone answered outside the door.

In a moment, there was a commotion outside, as if someone was clamoring to enter.

Zhou Ze frowned, simply sat up and said loudly: "Tell them to shut up, who will be noisy and waiting!"

As soon as the words fell, the outside fell silent, and it became silent in an instant.

Zhou Ze seemed to be satisfied, nodded, and slowly leaned back in the chair.

"Daddy......"

"Four Girls......"

"Don't stop me, let me in, Daddy......"

Zhou Ze only felt that his forehead was jumping suddenly, Sister Shan'er's temper was really spoiled!

The helplessness in his heart slowly turned into wisps of anger, listening to Zhou Mingshan still shouting, Zhou Ze stood up with a "pout" and strode forward to open the door.

Wearing a moon silver silk dark pattern group flower robe, still handsome and straight, the eyebrows and eyes full of smiles in the past have no expression at the moment.

"Daddy......"

"Sister Shan, you don't know what kind of place this is?"

The sky was dim, Zhou Mingshan couldn't see her father's face clearly, and only inferred from her tone that it shouldn't be good, she respectfully blessed her body and saluted: "My daughter knows that I have made this time, but I am also forced to be helpless, and I ask my father to forgive me, my daughter really has something very important to tell her father." ”

After that, he raised his face and looked at Zhou Ze.

A pair of apricot-like eyes were full of expectation, and his pale face was full of anticipation, seeing his beloved daughter like this, Zhou Ze's heart softened for a moment, but then he thought of the shame outside the examination room, and the trace of unbearable was instantly vanished.

So many colleagues know about it, maybe it will reach the examiner and the saint, and his future after so many years of hard work may be gone.

Although he didn't expect it to be so unlucky, but what if? He was so frightened that he didn't even play well in the first game.

"Dad knows what you're going to say, don't worry! When the exam is over, Dad will listen to you slowly. As for your mother's affairs, of course, there are your aunts and aunts, so you should hurry in now, and the girl's family will come to the outer courtyard in the middle of the night, what kind of system will it be!" Then he waved his hand, "Come to Xing, send the girl back! I am resting, don't bother again!" Then he went into the house and closed the door.
