Chapter 57: Branching Out

The ladies were still pretending to look at the scenery, but in fact their eyes were glancing over here from time to time.

Yu Mingzhi took two quick steps and asked Zhao Guanzhou, "Zhao Gongzi, what is over there?" she pointed to a small pavilion on the rockery not far away.

Zhao Guanzhou was very happy to talk to her, hurriedly threw away Yue Zhaohui, and introduced: "Because there is no mountain in the garden, my grandfather and father feel that it is a pity, so they ordered someone to collect these good rockeries, stack them, and then build a pavilion. Would you be interested in going up together?"

"Okay. Yu Mingzhi nodded happily, lowered his eyes and looked at the road, and then deliberately stepped on a small pebble.

This time, it was still Zhu'er who grabbed Zhao Guanzhou to hold her up.

Although he didn't kick it himself, Zhao Guanzhou was inexplicably weak-hearted, "The maid who came in was lazy, didn't clean up the garden properly, and almost made the young lady fall again." ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "It's out of the way." ”

Zhao Guanzhou lowered his head slightly according to her, revealing a snow-white neck, such a well-behaved appearance is really provocative. He pressed his concerned hand on Yu Mingzhi's shoulder, this position is very important, too much contact will seem light and prodigal, too little is clear and not interesting enough, so he only half of his palm is attached to the outermost side of her shoulder, feeling the temperature of his body through the thin shirt, which makes him feel ecstatic.

Yu Mingzhi understood his intention after feeling the movement of his palm for a moment, but did not refuse.

"There's a lot of moss here, and the floor is slippery, so you have to look carefully when you go up the steps. You walk slowly in front, and I protect you in the back. He said to Yue Zhaohui again: "Brother Yue, please also take care of this Miss Yang." ”

"Zhao Gongzi is careful, thank you. Yu Mingzhi's eyebrows curled, revealing a hint of a smile.

Zhao Guanzhou was very happy.

"Fifth brother. A female voice with obvious displeasure sounded behind them at an inopportune time.

Zhao Mengrui led a group of official ladies to appear, the expressions of these girls didn't look like they were supporting her, judging from the joy and shyness in their inadvertent eyes, it was more like they wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Zhao Guanzhou and Yue Zhaohui.

"Where are you going?" she asked in a cold voice.

Zhao Guanzhou touched the bridge of his nose and stretched out his hand to push Yue Zhaohui, "Naturally, I want to introduce a talented person with both talent and character to my sister, his name is Yue Zhaohui, he has been my friend for many years, his father is the history of Shangzhou, and his mother is the eldest daughter of the county lord of Xin'an." ”

Yue Zhaohui was defenseless, and was the first to stumble under a push, almost hitting Zhao Mengrui.

Zhao Mengrui looked at Yue Zhaohui, who was not inferior in appearance and bearing compared to his brother, and his family background was good, his cheeks couldn't help but redden, "Son-in-law is good, the little girl is Zhao Guanzhou's sister Mengrui." ”

Yue Zhaohui bowed his hand politely, "Miss Zhao is good." ”

Zhao Mengrui could hear the whispers of the sisters behind him, and found that they were more interested in Yue Zhaohui at this time, and a little jealousy arose in his heart. She stepped forward and smiled like a flower, "Is it the first time that Gongzi Yue has come back to our house?"

Yue Zhaohui nodded honestly.

As soon as she saw the opportunity, Zhao Mengrui immediately stood beside Yue Zhaohui, "Why don't you go to the garden with us to enjoy the flowers?" My brother, ......" She glanced at the two girls of Yang Lezheng's family with disdain, "Let him be willing to fall." ”

With Yue Zhaohui by her side at this time, she couldn't care about her brother and two lowly women.

Maybe it's just a joke.

Yue Zhaohui wanted to shirk it, but Zhao Guanzhou would let him get his wish at this time, stabbed him twice with his elbow, and whispered: "You just do my brother a favor?" You also see that my sister has a problem with these two young ladies. ”

Yue Zhaohui was helpless, and subconsciously looked at the woman of the Yang family in green.

He didn't know why he was looking at her at this time of dilemma.

However, her attention was obviously not on him, she was looking at the small pavilion on the rockery, the lush branches and leaves and the clear blue sky were reflected in her eyes, and her ink-like eyes were even clearer and flawless.

"Son-in-law, go this way. Zhao Mengrui dragged Yue Zhaohui fiercely, not wanting his eyes to fall on other women.

"Go, go, go. Zhao Guanzhou whispered, smiling and waving to them.

The group chattered away, and the figure quickly disappeared behind the green trees and bamboos, and the rockery finally calmed down again, Zhao Guanzhou felt relaxed and happy, although there was another young lady and maid of the Yang family, but it was not enough to stop him.

Yu Mingzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, she deliberately approached Zhao Guanzhou, attracting Zhao Mengrui's anger and luring a group of people here. If Zhao Guanzhou has bad intentions, he will definitely find a way to push Yue Zhaohui to Zhao Mengrui.

As soon as Yue Zhaohui left, the pressure on his body also dissipated.

"Two young ladies, let's go this way?" Zhao Guanzhou didn't care about going up the rockery, he just wanted to hurry to the quiet study room without idle people on this day.

Yu Mingzhi pretended not to notice it and nodded.

A few people walked through the huge garden and walked along the verandah, and there were constant laughter and singing from afar, and the entire Zhao family was caught in the joy of the old lady's birthday banquet, and no one noticed the thoughts of this group.

When they were approaching the academy, Zhao Guanzhou asked Yu Mingzhi and the others to sit under the wisteria trellis and rest for a while, and then trotted to the gate of the courtyard to look around for a while, and then ran back happily.

"Miss, are you resting, let's go?"

"Good. Yu Mingzhi followed him and stepped into the Zhao family's academy.

There are several wings on each side of the three sides, which is the place where Zhao Zhong collects books, one of which is used as a study, and there are many precious and exquisite antiques placed on the Bogu shelf, and the wall is almost full of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, which is dizzying.

Zhao Guanzhou said: "I think, as the young lady of the Lezheng family, my favorite must be the qin, zheng, flute and the like, right?" ”

Yang Run curiously leaned up to take a look, and soon let out an exclamation.

Yu Mingzhi didn't go, but pretended to be interested in calligraphy and painting, and slowly approached the desk while tasting one by one.

Zhao Guanzhou was also getting close to her little by little, and from time to time he put on two sentences.

He lowered his eyes to observe the distance between him and Yu Mingzhi, raised his hand and tried again and again how to hug her.

Yu Mingzhi felt the breath getting closer and closer, turned his steps, walked directly to the desk, and saw a letter pressed under the inkstone at a glance, and the letter was open, revealing the corner of the silver ticket.

Zhao Guanzhou looked at his hand that didn't touch anything in disappointment, hurriedly followed Yu Mingzhi, saw the silver ticket, pulled it out with a smile, and put it away, "My father is really, there is always a problem with putting things around." Fortunately, my family has a lot of money, otherwise he would have lost it all. ”

Yu Mingzhi saw a name written on the envelope.
