Yang Run saw the sweet flower tea and delicious pastries, and pounced on it with all his heart, eating happily.

Yu Mingzhi looked at Zhu'er's expression and knew that what happened was extraordinary, and she wanted to know when it happened as soon as possible. She drank two sips of flower tea, went to the thatched house under the pretext of a direct excuse, and then took Zhu'er to the door to talk.

"The slave maid heard that Zhao Shangshuling and Li Yushi said that there was a great drought in the north for many days, and the people were struggling to make a living, and the imperial court allocated a large number of disaster relief rice and grain, because the matter was very important, so the emperor listened to the suggestion and prepared to send Yan Qiyu, the secretary of the Chinese book, to be responsible for the escort, and once something happened, he would be held accountable...... "Zhu'er said this, her voice stopped abruptly, and she stood behind Yu Mingzhi with her eyes closed.

Yu Mingzhi was alerted by her abnormality, and when she looked up, a young man in brocade clothes and jade crowns walked over in a graceful manner, surrounded by young ladies and maids. When he saw the two people at the door of Tingyuxuan, he bowed his head slightly, showing the style of a gentleman.

Zhu'er reminded softly behind her: "This is Zhao Zhong's fifth son and only son-in-law, Zhao Guanzhou, because of his outstanding talent and extraordinary martial arts, he is quite popular among young ladies of all families. ”

The group passed in front of them, and when they stopped for a while, Yu Mingzhi hurriedly asked, "Hello Zhao Gongzi."

The young ladies didn't plan to deal with her, and they rushed to invite Zhao Guanzhou to play in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Zhao Guanzhou refused to leave, his eyes stayed on Yu Mingzhi, and looked at her from beginning to end, with delicate hair buns and beaded hairpins, beautiful and fair face and a plain but generous and decent dress, compared with the group of ladies around him, he was simply an independent and arrogant white peacock among a group of colorful birds.

His eyes made Yu Mingzhi feel a little uncomfortable, and he took half a step back and said, "Don't disturb you to enjoy the scenery, take your leave." ”

"Miss, please slow down. Zhao Guanzhou stepped forward and waved Zhao Mengrui to take the guests to play.

Zhao Mengrui was unhappy, although it was a little vague, but he vaguely felt that this was the young lady of the Lezheng family that Huang Shaoqing had found to perform a song on his grandmother's birthday.

"Brother, she belongs to the Lezheng family, her status is low, and her appearance is vulgar, how can she be worthy of being with her brother?" her voice was neither high nor low, but everyone present could hear it.

The ladies whispered, and there was a little contempt in their eyes when they glanced at Yu Mingzhi.

Zhao Guanzhou glared at his sister, "My father taught us to interact with people regardless of whether they are high or low, have you forgotten? ”

was taught such a lesson in public, Zhao Mengrui's eyes suddenly turned red, and he wanted to refute two sentences, but he couldn't find words for a while, so he could only be anxious.

Zhao Guanzhou saw that she was still not leaving, and shouted: "Mengrui, how can you snub the guests?

His tone was full of impatience and threat, Zhao Mengrui stomped his feet hatefully, and took the rest of the unwilling ladies to the Huxin Pavilion.

As soon as the others left, Zhao Guanzhou smiled and said to Yu Mingzhi: "Under Zhao Shangshuling's fifth son, Zhao Guanzhou." Dare to ask Miss your surname?"

Yu Mingzhi ignored him and turned to leave.

Zhao Guanzhou smiled treacherously, raised his foot and kicked away a small pebble, and the small pebble rolled to Yu Mingzhi's feet.

Yu Mingzhi happened to settle down, so he stepped on the stone, the soles of his feet slid forward, and his whole body fell forward. At this time, he "heroes save beauty" and shot to hug her.

"Miss, be careful. Zhu'er took the first step to support Yu Mingzhi.

Zhao Guanzhou's outstretched hand fell into the air, and his sharp eyes swept over Zhu'er's body.

Zhu'er noticed it, but didn't show anything, dusting her skirt for Yu Mingzhi, Yang Run heard the movement outside, ran out, looked at Yu Mingzhi and then looked at Zhao Guanzhou.

Zhao Guanzhou returned to his serious nature and asked gently, "Is Miss okay?"

Yu Mingzhi shook his head.

Zhao Guanzhou said: "Why is the young lady of the Lezheng family sitting here?"

Zhu'er said: "My young lady likes to be quiet, so I will sit here." ”

"Oh-" Zhao Guanzhou didn't look at her, and stared at Yu Mingzhi directly, "I have a lot of treasured piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings at home, I wonder if Miss is interested in appreciating them? On this sunny day, why don't you accompany the young lady around?"

Yu Mingzhi was vigilant in his heart, did Zhao Guanzhou have no intention of hooking up, or did he intend to be tempted?

And the maid is still tied up, under the soft couch.

It's not okay to keep it like this.

For her, what Zhu'er found out was a matter, and the Zhao family still hid countless secrets, so she wanted a huge gold mine waiting to be excavated. This Zhao Guanzhou seems to be a righteous gentleman, but his occasional eyes make people feel empty.

Now there is no room to think too much, Yu Mingzhi said: "Sister Run'er was tired of playing the piano just now, and let us re-dress and then go to see calligraphy and painting with Zhao Gongzi." ”

When Zhao Guanzhou heard this, he was overjoyed, "Then I'll wait for Miss here." ”

Yu Mingzhi nodded, took Yang Run back to the house, and Zhu'er neatly dragged the maid out from under the bed, loosened the rope first, hid it, and tapped her fingertips in a few places.

The maid woke up slowly, and when she saw several people gathered in front of her, she trembled with fright.

Zhu'er said kindly: "Just now you came here with my young lady on your back, but you fainted from exhaustion. How do you feel now?"

The maid was stunned for a long time, and said in a low voice: "...... It's better. ”

Zhu'er helped her up and smiled, "That's good." ”

The maid looked at them suspiciously, "The slave didn't dare to disturb Miss Yaxing, so she retired." With that, she ran out as if she were running away.

Zhu'er said, "Miss Yang doesn't have to worry about it now, right?"

Yang Run said: "Zhu'er, you are so smart!"

Pearls smiled.

Yu Mingzhi took Yang Run's hand and said, "After a while, we will go to their study with Zhao Wugongzi to look at the collection, he is quite easy-going, there is no shelf, and he is not different from Zhao Mengrui at all, so Sister Run'er can rest assured." ”

Yang Run said: "I seem to have heard him reprimand Zhao Mengrui just now, he is too majestic and graceful!"

Yu Mingzhi tapped the tip of her nose, "Don't you like him?"

Yang Run said: "I know, I don't want to have a sister-in-law like Zhao Mengrui." Sister Baozhi, shall we leave now?"

"Good. Yu Mingzhi asked Yang Run to hold his hand and walked out of Tingyuxuan together.

Zhao Guanzhou stood tall and elegant, turned back and smiled at them, "Two young ladies, please come here." ”

"Good. Yu Mingzhi nodded.

Just as they were about to leave, there was a sound of footsteps behind them, and then a voice that was very familiar to Yu Mingzhi sounded-

"Brother Zhao, wait for me. ”

Yu Mingzhi didn't dare to look back like Zhao Guanzhou, because the person who said these five words-

It's Yue Zhaohui.
