Chapter 56: The Veil
A trace of loss flashed in Zhao Guanzhou's eyes, and he greeted warmly on the surface: "Brother Yue, long time no see, long time no see." ”
Yue Zhaohui said: "I came with my mother to congratulate Mrs. Zhao on her birthday, thinking that it would be a pity to go to Beijing for a rare trip, and not to see you." ”
"Hey, hey. Zhao Guanzhou couldn't drive people away, so he had to invite him "warmly": "It just so happened that I invited the two young ladies of the Yang family to the study to see the calligraphy and paintings that my father had treasured for many years." Brother Yue would be interested in going with him, but what about ......" he smiled evilly, and raised his chin to signal him to look at the Huxin Pavilion, "all the beautiful ladies are here now." ”
"I'm more interested in calligraphy and painting. Yue Zhaohui bowed slightly, and his eyes turned to the two girls behind Yue Zhaohui. One of the cyan dresses caught his attention, although he could only see a back, but the figure and the style of wearing clothes made him very familiar.
He wanted to take a step forward to take a closer look, and didn't want the figure in front of him to flicker, Zhao Guanzhou took half a step sideways, blocked his way, and stretched out his hand to the east path, "Go this way." ”
"Good. Yue Zhaohui smiled and nodded.
He talks and behaves politely, and his appearance is good, which attracts more attention than Zhao Guanzhou.
The ladies of the small pavilion in the middle of the lake looked over together and looked at the people of the Yang family with jealousy.
Zhao Guanzhou was about to invite Yu Mingzhi to go together, but when he saw her and Yang Run's appearance, he was stunned, "Miss, what are you doing?"
Yu Mingzhi raised his eyes to look at him, and said softly: "There are so many sons, it's better to wear a veil for comparison." ”
Yang Run nodded, touched the knot tied at the back of his head, and couldn't find a suitable veil at this time, so he could only replace it with a silk handkerchief he carried, and he didn't know if it was tied firmly or not, and whether it would fall apart. But I heard that Mrs. Guo was strict, so she had to be careful.
Zhao Guanzhou smiled, "At home, why bother. ”
Yu Mingzhi shook his head slightly, "Grandmother taught me." ”
When Zhao Guanzhou heard her bring out the elders, he sighed regretfully, and had to respect her choice.
Yue Zhaohui's inquiring gaze lingered on Yu Mingzhi's face, but unfortunately the water-green silk handkerchief was too finely woven to make it difficult to discern what his face was like after that.
If this girl was really Yu Mingzhi, how could she be so calm when she saw him?
And at this moment, Yu Mingzhi should be almost in the place of exile in the north, right? How could he dare to disobey the holy decree and appear in the capital, appear in Zhao Shangling's house, and be called the young lady of the Yang family.
Yue Zhaohui shook his head slightly, there are many similar people in the world, he must have thought too much.
He arched his hand, "In Xiayue Zhaohui, I have seen two young ladies. ”
Yu Mingzhi's attitude was detached, and his tone was indifferent, "Son-in-law is good." ”
Yang Run also followed her example, Yue Zhaohui didn't think much about it, and followed Zhao Guanzhou to the study.
Along the way, Yu Mingzhi lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the stone-paved path, various patterns such as bats, peach and plum, and bamboo symbolizing auspiciousness and wealth, talking and laughing with Yang Run, and talking about the song he played just now.
Yue Zhaohui pestered Zhao Guanzhou and talked for a while, and was inadvertently attracted by Miss Yang's voice, he turned his head slightly, and glanced over from the corner of his eye. Miss Yang Jia's quiet and obedient appearance is very different from the heroic Yu Mingzhi in his memory.
Zhao Guanzhou saw him frequently review Miss Yang's family, and his heart was even more displeased, he pulled his sleeve and walked a few steps quickly, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that you and the Yu family have broken off the marriage contract?"
Yue Zhaohui laughed at him, "Why do you love to talk about these things as much as the girl's family." ”
Zhao Guanzhou grabbed his shoulders and told him not to look back, "Because we are good brothers, I don't care about you, who else can I care about?"
"Don't, don't," Yue Zhaohui waved his hand again and again, "Miss Zhao is very good, but it's a pity that I don't deserve her." ”
"Where will it be?" Zhao Guanzhou waved his hand and asked mysteriously, "Could it be that you are still thinking about Miss Yu?"
Yu Mingzhi, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, "chuckled" in his heart, and the memories of his previous life when he was dying came to his mind irrepressibly.
The sound of horses' hooves seemed to echo in his ears, and when they rang one by one, his brain throbbed.
The figure galloping towards her was getting closer, closer and closer, but it was still hard to see.
Yu Mingzhi continued to be blocked by the veil, gritted his teeth, and after stabilizing his mind, he smiled and accepted Yang Run's words: "Why don't you go back tonight, I will ask Yang Lezheng and Aunt Yang to take me as an apprentice, let's practice together, and have a partner to compete with each other." ”
Yang Run clapped his hands and said, "That's the best." ”
Yue Zhaohui heard the laughter behind him and wanted to look back, but Zhao Guanzhou's posture hindered him. And Zhao Guanzhou saw that he didn't answer for a long time, and asked meaningfully, "Look at you, you see, if you are silent, you must still like this Miss Yu family, but unfortunately she is now the daughter of a criminal minister, and she has to withdraw from the marriage due to the pressure of her family." ”
He bumped him with his elbow, "Don't talk about it again." ”
Zhao Guanzhou laughed, and then lowered his voice and said: "As a good brother, I advise you, and the young lady of the Yu family will not think about it anymore." Yu Yanshen is dead, this case is a sure thing, there is no way to overturn the case at all, and there is nothing to overturn, after all, he did do these things? So look forward, with your family background, our young lady is definitely worthy of you! Let's go, it's better to give you a chance now. ”
As he spoke, he was about to pull Yue Zhaohui over.
Yue Zhaohui hurriedly waved his hand away and took the opportunity to take another look at Miss Yang.
They are still talking about learning art together, and they have not been affected by Zhao Guanzhou's words in the slightest, and they have nothing to do with themselves at all.
He turned his gaze back and said to Zhao Guanzhou: "The marriage is arranged by my mother, if you really want to match me and Mengrui, there will be a day when you come to visit, why should Brother Zhao be in a hurry? You see, there are so many young ladies in the Huxin Pavilion, so you have to take care of the two young ladies of the Yang family, it is really not good to be busy for me." ”
Zhao Guanzhou laughed twice and grabbed his hair, "Brother Yue is right, let's go for a walk, let's read calligraphy and paintings, right?"
Yu Mingzhi watched them continue to walk forward, and his heart was slightly lost.
The more people there are, the more dangerous and inconvenient it is.
What's more, this is Yue Zhaohui.
Although Yue Zhaohui didn't know her identity now, it was difficult to guarantee any accidents after staying for a long time.
Yu Mingzhi borrowed the bead hairpin, and his fingertips touched the veil, and the knot was still tight.
I still have to find an excuse to get rid of Yue Zhaohui.
The crisp and melodious laughter of the yellow bird came with the wind, and she looked at the pavilion in the middle of the lake where the crowd gathered.
