Chapter 59: Deception
Zhu'er took Zhao Guanzhou quietly through the verandah, jumped over the garden, and came to the small pavilion on the rockery with a few light swallow ups and downs.
She waited for a while, only to see Yu Mingzhi carrying the hem of her skirt, panting slightly, walking up the steps, looking at the unconscious person lying on the ground, and pouring a pot of cold water on his face halfway.
Zhao Guanzhou** snorted a few times, his eyelids fluttered, and he seemed to be about to wake up.
Zhu'er said: "Miss, this kind of incense is easy to make people confused, and they can't remember the things before and after, so between the slaves and maids, you and Miss Yang might as well leave for the time being." When Zhao Guanzhou woke up, the slave and maid explained to him, so as not to involve you and cause trouble. ”
Yang Run was a little scared, pulled Yu Mingzhi's sleeve twice, and whispered, "Let's go?" Zhao Guanzhou is Mrs. Zhao's only son, and he must be regarded as a sweetheart, if they are found to be in a coma when they are around, thinking that they have not done anything will attract Zhao Mengrui's cynicism, once they find out this, it will not make a fuss?
They were blamed for a few small things, offending the Zhao family, and if their father's official position was affected, it would be over.
Now, she can see that Yu Mingzhi doesn't want to expose the identity of Qin Sheren's fiancée in front of the Zhao family.
Yu Mingzhi didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome for you." We're just listening to Yuxuan waiting for you. ”
"Yes, Miss. Zhu'er watched Yu Mingzhi and Yang Run leave in a hurry, and hurriedly wiped the water from Zhao Guanzhou's face with a handkerchief.
"This young lady ......," Zhao Guanzhou muttered, grabbing her hand and holding it softly in his palm, "...... You're so good-looking. ”
Zhu'er pretended to be anxious and asked, "Zhao Gongzi, wake up quickly, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Zhao Guanzhou muttered a few words vaguely, with a silly smile on his face, slowly opened his eyes, and finally adapted to the light only to find that he was holding the maid of the young lady he liked, startled, hurriedly threw away her hand, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Childe fainted, frightened the two young ladies in fear, and then listened to Yuxuan to rest. Zhu'er explained unhurriedly.
"Huh?" Zhao Guanzhou looked around, and it took a while to recognize where he was, and he couldn't help frowning suspiciously, "How could I be here...... No, where did I go before?" he thought, his mind was still blank, and he scratched his hair in annoyance, "I'm not amnesia, am I?
Zhu'er had already prepared a set of rhetoric and told Zhao Guanzhou, "You invite my young lady to the study to read calligraphy and painting......
"Look at calligraphy and painting?" Zhao Guanzhou rubbed the corners of his forehead, but still couldn't remember.
Zhu'er observed his expression and continued: "Yes, Zhao Gongzi. After watching it for a while, you will go back to the garden, probably it is hot today, and Childe and the ladies are having fun, so it is inevitable that you will be too excited, Childe fainted when you climbed the rockery. ”
"Really?" Zhao Guanzhou said casually.
Zhu'er nodded seriously, "That's true." ”
Zhao Guanzhou staggered up from the ground and patted the dust off the hem of his clothes, "Where are the two young ladies now...... Oh yes, you just said, they're listening to Yuxuan. Alas, it's useless to blame me, it's a big sin to frighten the two young ladies, and I have to apologize to them. ”
As he spoke, regardless of what was going on with that blank memory, he hurriedly jumped down the steps, eager to take five steps and one step to reach the door of Tingyuxuan. On the way, he subconsciously glanced at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, between his friend Yue Zhaohui and his sister Zhao Mengrui standing by the railing to watch the scenery, and the ladies of other families could only stand at the other end of the pavilion, helplessly watching Zhao Mengrui get closer and closer to Yue Zhaohui.
"This little girl. He shook his head and was about to push open the door of Tingyuxuan, when he remembered a stern female voice behind him.
"Guanzhou, where are you going?"
Zhao Guanzhou pursed his lips and turned back impatiently to deal with his mother.
Yu Mingzhi stood by the window, eavesdropping on their conversation.
Mrs. Zhao heard the report from the family, and was angry that her son depreciated his identity to hook up with a girl with a low status, and said that he was good. Zhao Guanzhou had already been calloused by these words, and his lazy absent-mindedness made Mrs. Zhao angry but there was no way.
Zhao Mengrui, who was originally in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, saw his mother and brother talking, and thought about what was going on, so he deliberately came over to join in the fun.
"Mother, my brother taught me a few words for her. She fell into her mother's arms like a coquettish woman and stuck out her tongue at Zhao Guanzhou.
Yu Mingzhi shook his head when he heard Mrs. Zhao's voice suddenly raised. At this time, only Zhu'er and Zhao Guanzhou knew that they were hiding in Tingyuxuan, so it was better to hide here and be free.
Yang Run looked at her anxiously, "Sister Baozhi, do you think they will ......?"
Yu Mingzhi said with a smile: "We are invited guests, Zhao Mengrui doesn't know the etiquette, but Mrs. Zhao won't be like that." ”
Yang Run was next to her, feeling a little more relieved, "I shouldn't have promised Uncle Huang if I knew it earlier." ”
Although I encountered unsatisfactory people and things, at least I gained something. Yu Mingzhi whispered a few words of comfort to her, and then heard footsteps from far and near.
"I seem to have seen them hiding in to listen to the rain!"
It was Zhao Mengrui's voice.
Yang Run's body trembled suddenly, panicked like a rabbit that had only encountered a wolf, "Sister Baozhi, what should we do? Let's climb the back window and go?"
Yu Mingzhi patted her hand and sat calmly, "We didn't do anything wrong." ”
"But the official is a first-class crushing person, not to mention that Zhao Zhong is a second-grade Shangshuling, and my father is just a Lezheng!"
Yu Mingzhi smiled gently: "Sister Run'er, don't be afraid, Sister Baozhi will protect you." As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered one thing - Zhao Guanzhou returned Yue Zhaohui to Zhao Mengrui, and at this time, Miss Zhao came to her mother's side, and she would definitely drag Yue Zhaohui with her, so ......
She quickly pulled the silk handkerchief out of her sleeve and covered her face, and before she could tie a knot, the door was pushed open.
The group led by Mrs. Zhao came in aggressively, and Zhao Guanzhou frowned at her, full of apologies.
"Mother, don't scare the young lady of the Yang family, they are also guests today. ”
Yu Mingzhi tied the silk handkerchief slowly, then moved the lotus step lightly, and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Zhao with an elegant demeanor, "I've seen Mrs. Zhao." ”
She looked quiet and calm, her eyebrows were low, and she was extremely obedient, and Mrs. Zhao looked at it in her eyes and smiled coldly.
This kind of fox who pretends to be innocent and innocent, but I have seen a lot.
But this girl really can't fault in etiquette, she looked and looked, and said things with a veil, "Is this girl unsightly, with a silk pass?"
"There were many men present, and it was a little inconvenient to think about it. Yu Mingzhi whispered softly, not in a hurry.
Mrs. Zhao said: "It doesn't matter, they are all the heirs of high-ranking officials and nobles, and they are in the inner courtyard, we don't have these at this time, take them down, otherwise it will be too formal and lifelike." ”
Yu Mingzhi quickly glanced at Yue Zhaohui, who was standing behind Zhao Mengrui, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, when a housekeeper ran over in a panic.
"Madam, the lord asks you and the young lady to hurry over, Qin Sheren has come to send a congratulatory gift to the old lady, and said that he wants to take his fiancée back. ”
Brother and sister Zhao Guanzhou glanced at each other in surprise, and Mrs. Zhao frowned, "Didn't he come to add to the blockage? Where did we come from here?"
In the eyes of everyone, Zhu'er walked lightly behind Yu Mingzhi, held her arm, and said in a voice that was neither high nor low: "My young lady is the fiancée of Qin Sheren. ”
