After this dinner, Princess Pingyao was very quiet. Looking at the subtleties of Chu Jinfeng pouring water and handing the handkerchief to the little cousin, she only felt that her heart was cold, and it was so cold that her limbs and bones froze.

I didn't give up because I thought he didn't have a heart, and I didn't do enough to warm up his naturally cold heart. But now he found out that it wasn't that she couldn't be hot, but that she had never been the person he wanted.

As the princess of Da Chu, how noble is she? But in Chu Jinfeng's eyes, it is an irreparable defect, no matter how good he is, he disdains to marry the emperor's daughter. What he wanted...... Should it be this kind of bird-like woman? ……

Pingyao looked at the woman who pouted slightly, gently shook Chu Jinfeng's sleeve and whispered, I really wished that she was no longer the princess of Pingyao of Da Chu, but just a little cousin in the countryside under the fence......

has lost his dignity, but he can stay by the side of the man he loves...... Could this be her unattainable dream in this life?

When the dinner was about to disperse, the fourth young master was very diligent in leading Li Ruoyu out of the water pavilion, but was blocked by Chu Jinfeng's tall body without leaking a trace.

Out of Jingyuan, Chu Jinfeng asked with a half-gloomy face: "Why did you keep laughing at that four young people at the banquet today?" ”

Li Ruoyu didn't have any scheming, just touched his stomach uncomfortably and said: "He eats unruly, he always looks at me, he doesn't know when the juice hits his chin, and that Miss Yuan doesn't remind his brother, and he always stares at me, I can't help but laugh when I see that brother and sister's four eyes are bigger one by one......"

Chu Jinfeng's expression was cold, if it weren't for the presence of the prince, he would have gouged out those eyes with a short knife to cut meat! The son of Suifeng Hou is really unruly!

"Remember in the future, you are not allowed to smile at other men except me!"

Ruoyu nodded obediently and asked without giving up: "What about my brother Xian'er?" ”

Chu Jinfeng was impatient with her question, and immediately kissed the chattering mouth......

On the second day after returning from the dinner, Ruoyu was dug out of the bed by Chu Jinfeng early: "You skipped school yesterday and had no rules, and you went to the master early today to receive the punishment, but do you understand?" ”

Ruoyu rubbed his hazy eyes and nodded, and said inarticulately, "I also have to prepare a gift for the master......

Chu Jinfeng felt that this little fool's kung fu was a rapid progress, and he smiled at the moment: "It's good that you know how to respect teachers and value teaching, the master said that you are not allowed to talk back about anything, do you know?" ”

Early in the morning, after being dragged up by her husband and mentioning her face, Ruoyu washed up and ate breakfast. Then he asked Su Xiu to open the box and rummage through the gifts for the master.

"Ah Xiu, what did you say I gave my master, she also gave me such a nice fragrance!" Su Xiu thought for a while and said: "Master Zhou's taste is not good, although the slave maid looks at her personal small things are not decorated with gold, silver and gemstones, they are all simple and large, and the inkstone alone is the dragon tail inkstone produced in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, and the carver is also everyone's hand." Madame, if you are giving gifts, you should still do what you like, and it is best to give some good calligraphy and paintings. ”

Ruoyu nodded: "Listen to Ah Xiu." So Su Xiu went to the treasury and selected a picture of a lotus pond by Mr. Qianchao Xishi.

Because Ruoyu got up early, he arrived at the academy alone.

The academy is divided into two courtyards, the front yard is the usual place for classes. The secluded backyard is for the masters to rest.

Because Master Zhou likes to be quiet, her residence academy is next to the small courtyard of the bamboo forest. This master's temperament is also withdrawn, and he doesn't even have a maid, but lives here alone.

At this time, the small courtyard was very quiet, the master did not seem to have woken up, and the broom in the courtyard seemed to be halfway swept and discarded on the ground at will, and the petals hanging from the hibiscus tree were messy.

Ruo foolishly got a naughty heart, raised his finger at Su Xiu, tiptoed into the courtyard, and looked in through the half-open window of the bedroom, wanting to take advantage of the master's wake-up and put the scroll on the bookcase to avoid punishment in person.

But this hope was not tightened, and it was bluffed.

I saw that the room was dark, and the curtain on the bed was only half-hidden, and the master, who had always been light and breezy, had crimson cheeks and misty eyes, and his smooth and slender arms were tied firmly to the bedpost by the red veil used to tie the curtain, and a snow-white leg was half-hung down from the bed, and the small toe curled up unnaturally. And there was a strong man attached to her, and although the curtain was covered, it could be seen that the man seemed to be undressed, but buried in the master's neck.

In the dark space, everything seems slightly unreal. The man called Zhou Fuzi's maiden name in a low voice: "Hidden rain...... ......"The creaking sound of the bed seemed to drown out the master's whispered moan......

Ruoyu was stunned, and intuitively felt that the master was being bullied by bad people, and was about to open his mouth to drink, but his mouth was tightly blocked by Su Xiu. Looking back, Su Xiu winked at herself with an anxious face, signaled her not to shout, and then quietly pulled her out of the yard, because she was in a panic, the scroll fell to the ground.

After walking for a while, Ruoyu couldn't wait to shake off Su Xiu's hand and said, "Ah Xiu, why did you stop me?" Don't you see that someone is bullying the Master? ”

Su Xiu also saw a scene in the window behind Ruoyu. With a red face, he said: "Madam, there is no way to shout about this, there are other masters and mothers-in-law around the courtyard who live temporarily." Didn't you attract people with this shout...... That...... Isn't Master Zhou's reputation lost? ”

If you still don't believe it, you want to rush back. Su Xiu hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Let me ask you, is Master Zhou's mouth blocked?" ”

Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and shook his head. Su Xiu continued: "That's it! The master also endured not shouting, which shows that he does not want others to know. You and I don't know the details of this, and now it's inappropriate to come uninvited and trespass into the courtyard to see this scene, how to enter the house rashly. If you are worried about the Master, you and I will stay here quietly until the man comes out, and then we will ask the guards to take the man. ”

Su Xiu saw the temperament of the master of Zhou, people who read poetry and books are all face-saving, just looking at the fierce shock on the bed, it is already a success, and it is useless to go in, not to mention that she is still Yun Ying is unmarried, if she breaks in like this, even if that person is a disciple who picks flowers, what is the difference between catching a traitor?

Su Xiu has always been timid, she was just punished by Sima yesterday, and she didn't dare to let her wife meddle with anything if she was killed today.

Ruoyu didn't understand, and she didn't want to understand, she only knew that her master had been bullied, and she absolutely couldn't stand idly by. At that moment, he broke free of Su Xiu's hand, ran back hard, and picked up a paved stone brick on the side of the road.

Since Su Xiu said that she couldn't shout, then she would beat that villain to death!

But before he could push the door when he entered the courtyard, the door had already opened automatically, and Ruoyu held the stone brick alof, and his eyes widened in surprise again. I saw that there was only a long robe in this door, and the man with long hair messy behind him was the crown prince Zhao Yintang at yesterday's banquet.

At this time, the aura emanating from his body was so strong that it was a little smoky. That kind of smell is very familiar, and it is the ambiguous taste that Brother Chu lingers after messing around with himself every time.

Although the prince was emotionally engaged, he still vaguely heard the voice outside the house. He sneaked into the academy alone in the early hours of this morning when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and finally found the woman he had been looking for for a long time, and only tied up this disobedient person on the bed, and tossed her for an hour, but he was not lazy, but was interrupted by an uninvited guest outside the house. I could only get up and put on my clothes and come out, but I saw this cousin holding a stone brick and preparing to rush in.

Seeing that she didn't seem to think that it was herself, and was startled, the prince slowly smiled: "Miss Ruoyu is so Yaxing, she came for a walk early in the morning." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took the brick in Ruoyu's hand and twisted it slightly, shattering the stone brick.

Ruoyu didn't expect him to have such strange powers, and he was even more dumbfounded for a while.

The prince glanced at Su Xiu, the maid who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face behind Ruoyu, and said lightly: "Since you have walked here, you just want to borrow Miss's maid for use, and I want to ask her to prepare hot water for Master Zhou for the warm bath...... This king has seen you in the county lord's mansion before, and you must have been assigned to the Sima Mansion, and you should know the rules of serving, and if today's incident is half a minute, you will cut off your tongue! ”

After speaking, he didn't take the road in the front yard, but just walked under the wall of the academy and turned over and walked away.

Su Xiu's body collapsed on the ground, only to feel that half of his life was about to be scared to death. This thief of flowers turned out to be the crown prince...... The master is nearly thirty years old, but he is much older than the prince, how can these eight poles be connected in one place?

But the prince couldn't help but listen to his words, and immediately pulled Ruoyu, who had not yet recovered his senses, into the house, and quickly closed the door.

The curtains in the room had all been lowered, and the red veils that bound the beauty's hands were thrown to the ground, mingling with the messy clothes.

Just when Su Xiu didn't know what to say, there was a sound in the curtain, and Master Zhou's cool voice was now mixed with a little hoarseness: "But Miss Ruoyu and Su Xiu?" Apparently she had also heard what the prince was saying at the door.

Su Xiu hurriedly said: "It's the slave maid, what does the master command?" ”

"There's a well outside the hospital, why don't you get some water for me to heat it?"

Su Xiu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the little lady who was suddenly silent for some reason, and hurriedly fetched water and burned the fire with her hands and feet.

When the bath bucket was ready, Su Xiu helped Master Zhou, who was surrounded by sheets, to the ground, although the master had a calm expression, but he staggered when he walked, and he didn't know what he was like by the prince.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Master Zhou instructed again: "You go to find Master Li, who teaches piano skills, only to say that I am not feeling good today, please ask her to replace today's morning class?" ”

Su Xiu took the order and went out, and Master Zhou sat on the bamboo chair and turned his head and asked Ruoyu with a smile: "Why do you keep sitting there and don't speak?" ”

Ruo foolishly blushed his face and bit his lip, but finally opened his mouth to admit it: "Yesterday, the prince asked me for the incense made by your master, but because of this, he came to find you and bully you?" ”

Zhou Qianyu sighed slightly, although his heart had broken his brain, his delicate heart had never been broken. She knew that Ruoyu must have felt guilty when she saw that she had been humiliated, so she beckoned her to come to her closer, and said gently: "I ...... with him It's a bad fate that can't be avoided, it's all fate, even if you don't say it, he always has a way to find me. This is something that has nothing to do with you, you just go to class obediently and don't tell anyone.

Ruoyu blinked, desperately holding back the tears that were about to well, and asked, "Then the prince will marry you, master?" Brother Chu said that only husbands and wives can do the thing of kissing and touching their chests. ”

Master Zhou's white face flashed with a gloomy color, and he said with a smile: "He won't marry, I'...... I won't marry ......."

Ruoyu twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Zhou Fuzi touched her long hair and said: "Even if he has true feelings, but there is often something more important in a man's heart than true feelings, and no matter how touching emotions are, they will be squeezed and worn out before this, and in the end, only endless ugliness and regrets remain......"

"That'...... Master, are you sad that he bullied you like this? Ruoyu blinked and asked again.

"You know what? I have an old man...... Although she was many years younger than me, she was the most open-minded woman in the world, but she still couldn't escape this love disaster, she knew that her fiancé had secretly fornicated with her sister-in-law, but she couldn't tell her family because of her family ugliness.

At that time, I was also burdened with emotional wounds and wanted to go all the way north, and I met her during the journey, and she invited me to drink all night, and I was bitter in my heart, but I knew that she was even more bitter in my heart. She resisted the heavy responsibilities of the family at a young age, and was only worried about her family, but in the end, her beloved sister and her fiancé, who had known each other for many years, betrayed her in the most unbearable way.

At that time, I thought she would cry, but she drank all night and went to the incense room several times, but not a single tear fell. At that time, I asked her why she could hold back. She smiled and said that there are two less people who love her in this world, so she has to love herself more and make up for this debt, and if she sheds more tears, she will have a slump of self-pity, and she will have an important business tomorrow, drink more wine, and spill all these unhappiness in the toilet of the incense room.

I know that she said this to herself, and to me. At that time, because my beloved married someone else, I was sad and went away, wandering around, haggard and unlooking, I actually felt bored and had the heart of suicide......

But after listening to her words, it dawned on me that I had been suffering from self-pity for a man for too long.

This world already looks down on women, if you don't love yourself anymore, won't you fall into the dust? It's ridiculous that I pride myself on reading poetry and books, but I can't see through it......

So Miss Ruoyu, although he treated me like that yesterday, I don't feel sad anymore, this body has been tortured by him, but the heart is to be kept for myself, who ...... Nor is it given ...... anymore"

When Ruoyu heard this, he suddenly couldn't hold back the sourness in his heart anymore, and the tears accumulated in his big eyes were so broken that the rain rolled down all the way, and he choked up: "I don't know why, when I heard the master say this, my heart is sour...... I love to cry so much, I don't have the strength of my master's old friend, but what should I do? ”

Master Zhou looked at this little girl with tears enviously, sighed with emotion, and said in a low voice: "I have accumulated too many tears in my previous life, and I always have to sway them out in this life, so I forgot everything, it is also a blessing to be able to cry and laugh to my heart's content, so what's wrong?" 166 Reading Network
