Chapter 41: Backfired

The days went round and round, and finally came to the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a few days of busy work, every part of the Fu Mansion is showing a prosperous appearance. In the middle of the hall are the portraits of the ancestors of the Fu family, and the lanterns are hung around it, and the red satin embroidered screens are also hung on the wooden walls on both sides. The stone lion in front of the door has been scrubbed again, and the red lantern under the eaves has long been replaced with a new one, not to mention the couplet.

Xia Yejin went to South Street with a few subordinates to buy, and when he came back, it was already dark. As soon as she stepped into the threshold of the mansion, she passed by a sedan chair head-on, thinking about which lady was going to worship the Buddha or something, she didn't care much, and when she came out of the kitchen for a while, she found that there were still many people around the patio, and she gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Feng Zhi is married."

I don't know who said it.

"I heard that he is a countryman, he has a few acres of land, he is not very old, and he does not have many brothers in his family......"

"Not from the city?" A little girl interjected.

But immediately an elderly person retorted, "What's good in the city, don't you see the fragrance?" has no land and has to beg for a living, and suddenly he is several years old. ”

The sound of discussion came like a tide in all directions, and it was clear at first, but it began to become faint when you listened to it. Except for the words "phoenix branch" and "marry", Xia Yejin didn't hear any of the rest.

Her head was groggy, and when she stumbled, she grabbed an oncoming person and asked Feng Zhi in a distracted manner.

"Yes, she's married."

The familiar voice made Xia Yejin take a step back in fright, raised her head suddenly, and sadly found that the person she pulled and questioned was Fu Mingyu. The injuries on his body are not yet healed, and the whole person looks less energetic than before.

"It's always in grandpa's heart, the maid is not a person, and whether she marries or not is just a matter of his words."

His face was full of anger, but the person behind him pulled his sleeve at the right time.

The eldest maid Bai Qing stood behind Fu Mingyu, her face was full of worry, as if to remind him not to talk nonsense, Xia Yejin turned around, just met her gaze, and the complicated look in the other party's eyes made Xia Yejin unable to see clearly, but then Bai Qing turned his head away and didn't look at her.

"So if you can go, think about it early, otherwise Fengzhi's present is your future!" Fu Mingyu saw Xia Yejin's stunned look, although he was well-intentioned, his tone was as bad as ever.

Xia Yejin lowered her head, and the bitterness in her heart made her unable to concentrate on listening to what the other party said.

No wonder Feng Zhi said so many things to her yesterday, no wonder Feng Zhi suddenly felt a lot of inexplicable feelings, at that time, in the face of the unknown life that was about to begin, how frightened and uneasy should she be? She desperately needed to share with others, someone could comfort her and cheer her up, but Xia Yejin didn't find anything in a rough line.

After all, she is just a cold and selfish person.

Now that Fengzhi is married, everything is a foregone conclusion.

It stands to reason that the task should be completed, but the strange thing is that her right wrist is still the same as when she first came here, empty, not to mention the cinnabar mole, not even mosquito blood.

The last experience made Xia Yejin understand that the probability of making a mistake in Gong Chenshi was extremely low, and now there was nothing on her wrist at all, it was definitely her own side that made a mistake.

But what's wrong?

The name and identity are all right, she can't find anything wrong at all? Could it be that there is another second young master, and another phoenix branch can't be?!

After this idea popped up, Xia Yejin was stunned.

The sky is high and the clouds are light.

There seemed to be a light snowfall last night, and there was still unmelted ice ballast hanging from the old locust tree not far away.

Xia Yejin sat alone under the eaves of the hall, lowered her head, and stared motionlessly at the few clusters of fine moss squeezed out of the cracks in the stone steps.

"Originally, we had two phoenix branches here, but later, in order to distinguish them, the eldest young master gave another one a new name, called Bai Qing."

She should have thought of it a long time ago.

This matter was weird from the beginning, why did Feng Zhi and Fu Mingyu, two people who were married, have no intersection at all, and why did she still have nothing on her wrist when the two had no intersection? Why is there an indescribable emotion between Fu Mingyu and Bai Qing?

The subtleties, the bits and pieces, the things that should have been noticed a long time ago, but she walked into a dead end on her own.

Now that it's coming to an end, how can we save it?

Not far away, under the old locust tree, the big girl Bai Qing was directing Jia Ding to move a bonsai to Fu Mingyu's house. She was wearing a lake blue cotton coat today, her black braids were neatly combed, and her face seemed to be rubbed with a thin layer of fine powder, looking young and energetic.

"She's not like us maids." Feng Zhi's words rang in his ears.

Yes, Xia Yejin smiled bitterly.

Such a person with the aura of the heroine, she was so blind that she didn't notice it.

"What do you want to be so engrossed?"

Xia Yejin glanced up and saw that it was Fu Mingxin, so she smiled and said that it was nothing, just looking for a place to be lazy.

"It's been a hard time, isn't it? ……”

Fu Mingxin also sat down on the stone steps, obviously it was just a fake polite remark that could no longer be fake, but it could come out of his mouth, but it made people feel like a spring breeze.

Xia Yejin pursed her lips and didn't speak, her mind was now full of thoughts that Bai Qing and Fu Mingyu had failed in their mission together, even if the people around her were like a spring breeze, she couldn't be happy.

The hesitant thought of facing Feng Zhi before came up again, since the two are already together, they look quite happy, or she will forget it? Let this task fail?

But there is still a problem with the failure of the mission, how can she go back? Damn Gong Chenshi didn't tell her how to go back after the mission failed, could it be that she wanted to stay here indefinitely?

"If Bai Qing doesn't take care of the second young master, why do you agree?"

Xia Yejin was full of depression, originally thinking in her heart, but she asked it out by the ghost. Bai Qing is not only beautiful but also understanding, he should also like it.

She felt that she was really crazy, and she even hoped that Fu Mingxin would help beat the mandarin ducks.

"Huh?"

Fu Mingxin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he smiled and couldn't see his eyes, and asked rhetorically, Why didn't I agree?

"She is good-looking, not only literate, but also gentle and considerate, and gets along with you day and night...... "It's unreasonable for you to dislike her."

Upside down, confused, Xia Yejin felt that she was simply terrible, she remembered the white figure she had glimpsed in the small garden that night, and the figure suddenly became clear in front of her eyes, overlapping and blending with the blue of the lake not far away.
