The sun has set in the west, shining into the room through the half-hidden window, a faint afterglow is imprinted on the Boshan stove, the green smoke rises, the cold wind blows wantonly, and the rich fragrance of Canaan incense exudes in the cold air, lingering in the entire study.

Zheng Sui no longer likes to burn incense in the house.

This canan incense was sent by Zheng Wei from the south a few days ago.

It is said that the fragrance is rich and natural, and it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, and it was only after Li's order that Zhong Nan took it out and used it, but this incense is rare and rare, more precious than Su Hexiang, and the amount sent by Zheng Wei is also limited, and Li gave it to Zheng Sui.

Today's self-use of the morning food, Zheng Sui went to Jingyuan and Quyuan to ask for peace, back to the house, then began to work on the desk, in addition to the hundred herbs waiting next to the bookcase, only Zhong Nan guarded at the door, changing charcoal and adding incense, at the end of the day, the portrait on the silk paper, with the line outline, has become more and more clear.

When the last stroke fell, Baicao took the pen in Zheng Sui's hand and rested it on the pen holder with the green jade lotus pattern, and after a while, Xin Yi heard the movement in the room and walked in, "Little lady, the eldest lady sent someone to pass the word and invite the little lady to go to the Quyuan for dinner." ”

Zheng Sui sighed lightly, took the buttermilk handed over by Zhongnan, took a sip of the glass cup, looked through the half-covered window, looked at the outside was full of snow, silver makeup, the snow has been falling for more than ten days, the day before yesterday stopped, since the beginning of the snow, the aunt and sister-in-law exempted her from asking for peace, she rarely went out of the Xiangzhu Pavilion, this morning out, still worried about the sister-in-law's illness.

But when she went to Quyuan to ask for peace, her sister-in-law also instructed. It was cold, so she didn't have to go to Quyuan to say goodbye, so as not to toss and get cold on the way back and forth.

How could it be this time. Let her go to the Quyuan for dinner.

"Xiaolang and Qilang are back, arriving home at noon. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Sui came to his senses, his heart was overjoyed, and he stared at Xin Yi, "But the second room sent someone to send them over, why didn't they hear the slightest movement?" There is no sign in the second room to send Ah Yi and Qilang back to Chenliu, and the sister-in-law has been worried about this matter.

I only heard Xin Yi explain again: "Xiao Lang and Qi Lang came back with Da Lang Jun. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xin Yi secretly said that it was not good. Sure enough, just looking at the wisp of joy that had just floated on Zheng Sui's face, it quickly disappeared with a cold face. with the voice of the speaker. Unconsciously dyed a little cold, "If you don't go, just say that the weather is cold, and I'll go to see my sister-in-law tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Zheng Sui handed the amber glass cup in his hand to Zhong Nan, and instructed the maidservant Baicao on the side: "Prepare hemp paper and Ayajuan, add a pair of shaft rods, and finish framing this painting tonight." ”

Baicao answered. These commonly used things are readily available in the Xiangzhu Museum. So he quickly went out of the door of the study, and led the two little maids to the attic to fetch them.

As soon as the door was closed and closed, the charcoal fire in the pot stove was burning more and more, shining red, Xin Yi looked up, Zheng Sui had leaned over to look at the painting on the case, when he saw this scene, Xin Yi sighed in his heart, and did not persuade anything more, so he had to withdraw from the house and go to the Quyuan in person.

The winter night always comes early, and at the end of the hour, the sky is completely dark, and the lit lanterns illuminate the whole room as if it were day.

Extremely bright and extremely quiet.

Only the north wind blew into the house through the window, and the sound of the wind echoed in the air, becoming more and more quiet, and the maidservants in the house, even the hundred herbs waiting for the pen and ink, did not dare to enter, but only dared to wait at the door.

I don't know how long it took, Zheng Sui has been busy framing the portrait on the table, and when she was about to go on the shaft, heavy footsteps sounded in her ears, but she didn't even raise her head, and after a while, the person had already entered the house, and the elongated figure of the light walked to the window, stretched out his hand to close the window, and separated the cold wind outside the window.

"It's so cold, the windows are still open, it's freezing by then, it's time to take medicine again. ”

This time, Zheng Sui's hand holding the shaft finally paused, straightened up, looked up at the eldest brother who came over from the window, and called out to Brother.

Yes, at this time, if she can enter her house without any hindrance, except for the eldest brother Zheng Jing, Zheng Sui will not think of others.

"Your sister-in-law prepared dinner for you, I just brought it over, and I have already instructed Liu Yuan to warm it up, rest her hands first, and go to the Dongnuan Pavilion next to it for dinner. Zheng Jing said recently, looking at Zheng Sui still with a straight face, he suddenly felt angry and funny, it has been more than a month, and this girl's temperament makes Goro used to being too big.

I don't know, what is called bowing your head.

"I'm not hungry. ”

"Eat a little if you're not hungry, your sister-in-law is not in good health, don't let her worry about it anymore. ”

Hearing this, this time, Zheng Sui responded with a good voice, but did not call the maidservant to come in, but gently put the framed portrait on the stove that had been set up next to the incense burner, and spread it out carefully to bake.

The movements are cautious and gentle.

It's like holding a peerless treasure.

Zheng Jing couldn't help frowning, that painting, when he came in, glanced at it, it was a portrait of Wang Shishilang, lifelike, vivid, he knew that Zheng Sui had never liked figure paintings, but this portrait was soft lines and fine depiction, which had the influence of Wang Shilang, but Zheng Sui's intentions can also be seen.

It's just a short-lived one.

Zheng Jing's gaze moved away from the silk paper, only to feel a headache, and he took the lead out of the house and went to the Dongnuan Pavilion.

In terms of eating, Li knew Zheng Sui's preferences and habits very well, so she only chose two things she liked for dinner that Zheng Jing brought over, one was bean porridge, the other was soup cakes, and the rest of the meat food was never taken.

Eat silently, sleep silently.

During Zheng Sui's eating, no one spoke, but saw that the eldest brother had been sitting in the room and had no intention of leaving, so he knew that the eldest brother had something to say, so he picked up the bean porridge, drank a small half bowl, and ordered Xin Yi to collect the utensils and clean his hands early.

"Ah Luo is not very old, after three or five years, my brother will definitely take her back to the Zheng family, and when the time comes, let your sister-in-law find a suitable family for her, it will not affect her. ”

In the end, Zheng Jing still opened his mouth first.

It's just that Zheng Sui has already heard what his sister-in-law Li said, his eyes stared at the few sides in front of him, and his voice was slightly cold, "Brother didn't think about it, it's easy to send people over, but it's difficult to bring them back." "The so-called five-year period, Zheng Sui didn't believe it at all, if it was she who was sent to Jinyang Wang's family, perhaps, she could still believe it, but Ah Luo, I'm afraid that after three or five years, after Brother A's guilt gradually fades, who will be in the family and still remember this.

This was originally the best result after the two families weighed it.

She saw it very clearly, but she couldn't accept it, and she was powerless to change it.

"Since Brother Wei has sent people over, he will be able to bring them back in the coming day. Zheng Jing squinted slightly, covering up the sharpness of his eyes, only a well-defined face, tense, revealing a little emotion, "Xixi doesn't have to worry about this, since Brother has promised you, he will not break his promise." ”

Now, the Wang family can bully people, and in the future, he may not be able to use his power to get people.

The momentum moves over time.

These are the words that the second uncle gave him when he persuaded him.

Zheng Sui knelt on the couch and didn't snort, now that the Luo people have gone to the Wang's house, no matter how much they promise, it is just self-deception, as for the future, who can say for sure, and can only look forward to the eldest brother, and still read a little bit of flesh and blood.

"Brother, I want to go to Pingcheng. Zheng Sui suddenly opened his mouth and looked up at the eldest brother Zheng Jing opposite, since returning to Chenliu, she and her grandmother have been exchanging letters, but suddenly in the past six months, the letters have been broken, so she can't help but be suspicious.

Zheng Jing was unexpected, his expression paused slightly, Fang slowly spoke, with a bit of deliberation in his tone, "Xixi, Wulang has been writing to you, I hope you can go to the south, you have been there for a few years, and I also thought that I could stay in the south for a long time, and when the spring starts next year and the weather warms up, my brother will send you over." ”

"I'm not going," Zheng Sui didn't think much about it, and shook his head, "Grandmother was originally looking forward to me going to Pingcheng this year." ”

After the filial piety, because of the sudden death of Shishiro, the original itinerary was messed up.

As for the Southland, she didn't want to go again.

Why would the eldest brother send her to the Southlands?

Suddenly, Zheng Sui's heart seemed to be clenched by a pair of invisible hands, it was difficult to breathe, his eyes were full of panic, and he only saw the mouth of the eldest brother Zheng Jing, and the voice of the voice rippled in the room.

"Xixi, Uncle Huan and the Yin family have reconciled and divorced last month, and the marriage date between you and Uncle Qi is set for six years in the next year. ”

Zheng Sui stared at his eldest brother Zheng Jing with wide eyes, his eyes full of disbelief, "This is not true. Holding his hand, he couldn't stop trembling and slumped on the couch, "Big brother, I won't go to the Southland." ”

"You don't want to?" Zheng Jing frowned, very puzzled, "Why, you and Shu Qi used to ......"

"Big brother, it's all over. Zheng Sui's voice was a little loud, and for the first time in his life, he interrupted the words of the eldest brother, and when he opened his eyes, his excitement slowly subsided.

"Okay, don't talk about the past, now this family business, Brother has been decided, you just have to wait for marriage with peace of mind, Uncle Qi is a hearted person, and he will treat you well in the future. ”

"I don't want to, if the eldest brother really wants to marry the Huan family, you can find someone else, not to mention the clansmen brought over by the fifth brother, it is the fourth room in Jingkou, and there are not a few girls of appropriate age. Zheng Sui shook her head, since she didn't go with him at the beginning, she didn't think about continuing the front edge, and she didn't have the shame to continue the front edge.

What's more, in the past two or three years, things have long been different, and now her state of mind is no longer as good as before.

But I am afraid of him, and it is the same.

She couldn't guess what kind of mentality he had, but when she thought about it, she couldn't go back after all.

"You look at this first. Zheng Jing got up, took out an envelope from his arms, and put it on the desk in front of Zheng Sui, "This is what Shu Qi asked me to transfer to you." Saying that, he sighed, and really let Uncle Huan Qi expect it, Zheng Jing put down the envelope, did not stay, and turned around and walked out of the warm pavilion,

Zheng Sui didn't get up to send it off, his eyes fell on the desk, the paper of the envelope was a little yellowed, it looked very old, it should be an old letter that had been stored for a few years, and the edge of the seal was badly worn.

It's just that there are a few words on it, 'Uncle Huan Qi personally opened', but it is her handwriting. (To be continued.) )

PS: If nothing else, it should be updated every day next month.
