Ziyi felt that something was pressing on her chest, and she was a little out of breath, she tugged at her collar hard, trying to relieve it, but unfortunately it had little effect. Her chest continued to rise and fall, and she took a deep breath as she tried to shake the mess away, but the more she didn't think about it, the clearer the dead eyes appeared.

"Ahh "Whew!" she exhaled, and the chaotic breath in her chest finally calmed down.

Ziyi also knew that it was wrong for her to do this, but she just couldn't control her brain and her heart. Thinking of Zhou Wentao's frowning and annoyed look when he saw the clothes that were only two or three taels of silver scratched, her heart hurt like a needle prick.

Think of the boxes in your cupboard, which are piled up haphazardly, and there are more than a hundred taels of silver. Think about your own clothes for at least five or six taels of silver. And those delicate jewelry in the dressing box. I couldn't help but sigh again, alas!

The lanterns hanging from the verandah swayed gently in the wind, and the shadows cast on the ground faded in circles. Ziyi felt that her mind was the same as these shadows. No matter how big the shadow is, it can't leave the left and right of the lantern. And no matter how far away your thoughts are, you can't fly out of the world in front of you. Ziyi muttered to herself wistfully, "Even if I feel sorry for you again, what can I do? We won't have a chance to meet again·······

Thinking of the account book that let Chunya bring back to Xuzhou, she couldn't help but sigh, alas! I had planned well, and after the girl finished the account book, she had the opportunity to go to Xuzhou again, but unfortunately, the good plan was disrupted like this. Alas!

Lan Xin leaned on the head of the bed, reached out and took out a small box from the drawer next to him, after the small box was opened, Lan Xin gently took out the piece from it, and went around and returned to the ruby in his hand, feeling a little complicated. Holding this slightly cool ruby, he couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know if the capital is going to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve?"

*****

The Lu family in the capital

Under the verandah, flaming lanterns are hung, and the windows are pasted with window flowers with beautiful meanings such as "Harvest of Grains", "Good Flowers and Full Moon", and "Auspicious Ruyi". Lu Zhendong was dressed in ochre, and the black hair at the neckline floated gently in the breeze, making the resolute face even more difficult to take off his eyes. He stood under the porch, looking up at the somewhat gray sky, frowning slightly, his thoughts drifting to no one.

Su Bo walked over with his arms in his hands, tilted his head and looked at Lu Zhendong, who was standing there motionless. His eyes rolled, and the thief came to his young master's side, followed his young master's example, and looked up at the sky together. muttered in his mouth: "Although the things that should be prepared for the New Year's Festival, they are all ready." The decoration in this house is no worse than in other places, and there are many lanterns hung in this house. But the whole house is still deserted, and I always feel that something is missing. ”

Raising his hand and touching the sparse beard on his chin, he frowned, and tilted his head in deep thought, "What is this missing?" squinted at the cold and hard side face of his young master, and asked very unscrupulously: "Young master, what is missing here?"

He has been with the young master of his family for so many years, and he knows the temperament of the young master of his family very well. After coming out of the Yu family that day, although his young master was still expressionless, he still noticed that under the cold and hard expression of his young master, there was an imperceptible tenderness. Therefore, he guessed that this change in the young master of his family must be related to the jade girl. Well, maybe something good is coming.

Lu Zhendong didn't even give him a superfluous look, and he didn't care. The more his young master looked like this, the more certain his guess became. With his eyes rolling, Su Bo leaned closer to Lu Zhendong's side, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, when the old slave went to buy New Year's goods a few days ago, the old slave found ·······" He suddenly paused, and looked at Lu Zhendong with inexplicable eyes.

Lu Zhendong frowned and looked at him suspiciously. The corners of Su Bo's mouth twitched, and he continued, "The old slave found a shop specializing in wedding supplies, and the window grilles of their store were particularly exquisite, and the old slave was ······ when he saw it."

"Hmph!" Lu Zhendong snorted coldly and turned his head disdainfully. Su Bo had already guessed that his young master would react like this, and he didn't care about it. But Lu Zhendong's next sentence almost made his jaw drop. I only heard Lu Zhendong ask softly, "Where is that store?"

Ahh He spotted the suspicious flush on Lu Zhendong's face, and whispered, "It's on the other side of Nadong Street." "He understands what it means to accept it when he sees it, and if he annoys his young master, it won't be beautiful. Right now, the ····· of the New Year

"Young Master!" Ah Sheng's timid voice remembered. Lu Zhendong gathered all his thoughts, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!" Conveniently turned around, came out of the side door, and got into a carriage prepared in advance.

The carriage turned left and right on the empty street, and circled many times, and after making sure that no one was following behind, it ran to a stop in front of an inconspicuous house. Lu Zhendong looked at the closed gate with complicated eyes, took a deep breath, and then reached out to push the door open, and walked towards the courtyard.

Bypassing the shadow wall, you will see the three main rooms of the main courtyard. The red lanterns hanging under the eaves bring light to this dark courtyard, and at the same time look a little deserted. Lu Zhendong paused for a moment, then walked into the main room with his feet, took out three sticks of incense from the incense table, and bowed respectfully to the tablet in front of him.

After the prayer, he inserted the incense into the censer. As soon as he turned around, he saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy standing at the door, about the same height as his peers, but his body was a little thin. Lu Zhendong squinted his eyes and looked at the strange and familiar person in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The young man looked at the expression on Lu Zhendong's face worriedly, pursed his lips a little aggrievedly, raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, I'm Xiaoxi!"
