Chapter 204: Choose one of the two
Qing Zhi's eyes flashed and said: "Look at the sky is unreliable, last time I asked the roof of the warm house reinforced by the construction office, I was worried, so I went to check it just now." "I said, how could my sister be here," I smiled.
"It hasn't rained heavily since the reinforcement of the building place, so we'll know tonight."
Qingzhi stopped in place, lowered her eyes and thought about it, looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, it's so late, where are you from?" ”
I generously said, "I just came from that forest." ”
"The weather was bad tonight, and it was thundering all the time, so I couldn't sleep, and I didn't dare to go too far, so I went to the forest on the edge of the flower garden."
"Xiaoling, have you met someone from the main building?" Qing Zhi looked at me with a fixed gaze.
"No," I looked at her in surprise, "how could anyone from the main building come at this hour?" ”
"Xiaoling, did you know Mo Yan in the main building before?"
Qing Zhi's tone sounded a little strange, I was stunned, and quickly shook my head and said, "I don't know, my sister also knows that I haven't been in the palace for a long time, as for the time before I entered the palace, I didn't return to the capital city for a long time, except for the people at home and the neighbors nearby, not many people have seen me." "How can I ever get to know him?"
Qing Zhi's scrutinizing gaze seemed to be judging the truth and falsehood, and at this point, I really wasn't lying, so 810 calmly met her gaze.
"Does my sister have something to tell me?"
I captured the question in Qing Zhi's words.
"No, it's late at night. Go back early and rest. ”
Qing Zhi's expression was a little out of shape, she hesitated and reached out to pat me on the shoulder, and turned to look at me. He stopped and said, "Xiaoling, it may rain at night, remember to close the window." ”
"Okay." I agreed, nodded at her and said, "Sister, you should go to bed early." The masters of the construction department are still very reliable, and you don't have to worry too much about the flowers in the greenhouse. ”
entered the small courtyard and parted ways. Qingzhi and I live on both sides of the courtyard.
Thinking back to her reaction just now, I put a question mark in my head.
But it's just a casual thought, and it's better to go back.
Before I could reach the hut where I lived, I almost bumped into someone.
I made a sound at the same time as the person came. Each took a step back.
See each other clearly in the shadows of the trees. I paused for a moment and said in amazement, "It's Sister Lan!" ”
Tonight is not only thunder, but also too coincidental, how can you meet a few people who don't sleep in a short way.
Gu Lan stared at me, lost her mind for a moment, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then smiled at me: "Girl." You can't sleep either, go out for a walk? ”
"yes. I walked around the woods, and on the way back, I ran into Sister Qingzhi, and to be honest, it was too coincidental. ”
Gu Lan's eyes fluttered, glanced towards the place where Qingzhi lived, turned her head to me and said, "The thunder is too loud, it's so noisy that everyone can't sleep." ”
"Xiaoling, aren't you afraid when you go to the forest at night?" Gu Lan looked at me curiously and asked.
"Sister Lan, is this in the palace, or on our own territory in the flower garden, I have no beauty, no money, I can't sleep and go out for a walk, what is there to be afraid of."
"Could it be that there will be someone with a bad brain who doesn't open his eyes and wants to rob me."
Gu Lanwan said: "How can anyone say this about yourself." ”
She took out from her bosom what I had given her in the afternoon, and it was the most suitable gift I had chosen for her on Suzaku Street. "Xiaoling, I like it very much, the tricks on it are not available here."
I snatched it up, unfolded it and said, "My sister's hand is really ingenious, and she has embroidered the butterfly with so much effort, which is really beautiful." “
The two butterflies on the veil are lifelike, and it feels like they want to fly in the night.
"Sister, I liked it very much when you did it for me last time, can you help me embroider a handkerchief again one day?"
Gu Lan looked at me quietly, and the corners of her mouth pulled up: "What tricks does Xiaoling want?" "Well, embroider an orchid pattern, I've seen it in the flower garden, and now I'm sending it to the Lin De Palace, that pot of orchids is very beautiful, and it's unforgettable." "According to what you say, I want to take a look at it too," Gu Lan lowered her head and pondered, "I think there must be a real thing to embroider a little bit." "What's so difficult about this, next time, talk to Sister Qingzhi," my tone was very refreshing, "When I go to the Lin De Palace, just take Sister Lan with me." "The place where the emperor lives, you can't just enter it, right?" Gu Lan's voice lowered. "When he is in a good mood, it's really not a big problem," thinking of He Yanzhi's face, I couldn't help but smile, "You can enter, don't worry." "Sister Lan, I didn't bother to say it before," I grabbed Gu Lan's arm and said, "Embroidery at night hurts my eyes, try to do it during the day." "Xiaoling," Gu Lan saw me turn around to leave, and called out to me, "You go back and go to bed early, it may rain today, remember to close the window." "Why are they saying the same thing one or two, Sister Qingzhi just now, too, told me to come several times." "Okay, I know it all, it's raining, close the window, see you tomorrow morning."
I walked a few steps, and when I looked back, I saw Gu Lan still standing under the tree and looking at my back, I was a little surprised, I didn't know how to do it tonight, I always felt that these two people were a little unnatural.
I entered the hut where I lived, and I was still thinking about it, thinking about it, could it be related to my leaving the palace today?
After all, such an opportunity is rare, and it is even rarer for a new palace maid.
He Yanzhi said that he could go out more than once after giving the token, and now I reflect on myself, let's stay at ease, don't run outside the palace if you have nothing to do, if you summon trouble, it will be difficult to do it at that time.
In the darkness of the night, I lit the lights in the house, opened the booklet I had with me, and planned to turn a few pages before going to bed, as is customary
Crossing the path, Xiao Si walked along the fork in the road in the direction of Lin De Hall.
It wasn't long before he arrived, easily climbing over the fence and disappearing among the trees in the night.
The man in front of the window was sitting there, idly raising his glass.
When Xiao Si pushed the door in, he smelled the smell diffusing in the air, his eyes widened, and he ran over in disbelief, reaching out and grabbing the wine jug placed on the table. "You're actually drinking?" Xiao Si said in a low voice. "Isn't that weird?" He Yanzhi stretched out his hand to hold up the wine glass, gently shook the clear liquid in the glass, pushed away the wine jug on the table and said, "You came to me in the middle of the night, what's the matter?" “
Xiao Si frowned, sat down in front of him unceremoniously, and saw He Yanzhi supporting his chin with one hand, the look in his eyes was mixed with shallow confusion, Xiao Si hesitated for a few seconds, and tried to grab another cup and pour wine according to the law.
At the moment when his hand was about to touch the cup, Yanzhi quickly snatched it. "I'll pour it for you," he chuckled, reaching for his glass, pouring the wine, and passing it over, all in one go.
Xiao Si watched the whole process, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then sighed gloomily: "You are still recovering." “
He Yanzhi was silent, looked at him, took the wine in one hand and continued to bring it to his mouth: "It's time too." “
Xiao Si sighed again, his eyes fixed on his face, this is the face when I first met a few years ago, looking at his appearance, handsome is not like words, it is really not much different from back then.
Another face appeared in his mind, trying to find more similarities from the person in front of him, but there was still a clear difference in this comparison.
It's just that this look, if it is placed in the entire Sealand Palace, except for the founding teacher, there is absolutely no one who can compare with it.
How many people have seen the true face of the National Teacher?
Xiao Si's eyes were filled with sympathy, he looked at He Yanzhi calmly, but his words were uncertain: "Is it worth it for you to do this?" "It's never just about whether it's worth it or not," He Yanzhi read the hidden content in Xiao Si's eyes, and responded to him with a low sigh.
The atmosphere was dull for a while, Xiao Si regained his spirits, clapped his hand and said: "Although this wine is not strong in the mouth, it is enough, just drink it, don't be greedy." "I have come to you because I have a good thing to tell you, and you will be very happy to hear it."
After Xiao Si finished speaking, seeing the surprise flashing in He Yanzhi's eyes, the thoughts in his heart were temporarily suppressed, and he said calmly: "I saw her just now." “
He Yanzhi really put down the wine glass and looked at Xiao Si motionlessly. "The one who lives with me is still mending the baby at this hour, and he is so busy that he doesn't lift his head and stays in the house all day."
"The weather is bad, and it's unappetizing to face such boring people, so I went to the lake for a walk, and I met it while wandering in the woods, and she came to me specially and gave this on the way."
Xiao Si took out the food box wrapped in a handkerchief from his body like a trick, and looked at him expressionlessly. "It's a dim sum made by her, I brought it here, and I'll try it with you."
He Yanzhi looked at the box in his hand intently, saw the carefully packaged embroidered handkerchief on it, and said with a smile: "It's not her craftsmanship, I don't know if it's a dim sum inside."
He carefully took it and opened it, saw the snacks arranged in it, looked at it very carefully, and said with a smile: "So, am I stained with your light?" “
Xiao Si narrowed his eyes, and suddenly looked at He Yanzhi: "At most, in a day or two, she will come to you." “
He Yanzhi looked at Xiao Si with an inquiring gaze. "Penglai Pavilion wants her to go to the main building," Xiao Si tilted his head and thought about it, and explained, "She doesn't want to go, listen to her tone, if you choose one of the two, she chooses you here." “
Xiao Si saw the hand of the person in front of him who was forcibly calm but trembling slightly, he slowly looked away, and said softly: "I knew that you would be very happy." ”
The moment the lamp was lit, the flame moved slightly, I casually raised my head and glanced at it, and soon, the fire became bright. (To be continued......)
