Forty-seventh
Now that the matter has been decided, Peach Blossom began to hand over to Su Yifeng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info said that it was a handover, it was nothing more than to inform him, he has been involved in all affairs, and everything is also very familiar, more handy than peach blossoms.
Su Yifeng has always been a smart person, and it is inevitable that they will leave sooner or later. Cheng Yiyi is a general, it is impossible to stay in the army when there is no war, and if he supports the army and respects himself, it will cause suspicion. Therefore, when the goodbye seems to be expected.
There were a lot more official documents to sort out than expected, and Peach Blossom could only postpone going to Beicheng, and she didn't want to go anyway. When the two were busy, Zhou Ziheng suddenly appeared, it was not the first time that he had been so uninvited, and neither Peach Blossom nor Su Yifeng reacted much.
Zhou Ziheng saw that no one paid attention to him, so he was naturally a little stupid, so he could only speak first and asked Taohua: "I heard that you are leaving?" ”
Peach Blossom just wanted to say that it didn't take long for this decision to be confirmed, and Young Master Zhou already knew about it, and it seemed that the people who came in and out of the post station today must have attracted his attention. didn't deny it, and simply said: "Yes, I want to go back to Zhuyun City." ”
"So here..." Zhou Ziheng pointed behind him, meaning the guide city.
"I'll leave it to Master Su here. Anyway, he was busy all the time, and I didn't make a difference. Peach Blossom took the time to smile gratefully at Su Yifeng in her busy schedule, and continued to be busy
Zhou Ziheng was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said with a light smile: "That's good, we can go on the road together." It is also five days away from Zhu Yuncheng here. ”
Peach Blossom knows what he means by "walking seriously", and not riding Red Soul and Moyu is a very serious way to walk. The two horses could cut the distance as long as they wanted, regardless of the weather.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm with Cheng Yiyi and Luo Yan." Peach Blossom finally put down the paper in her hand, raised her head, and said to Zhou Ziheng.
"That doesn't matter, everyone together, there won't be loneliness on the road." Zhou Ziheng said, "I have been in business for many years, and this road has been going back and forth many times, so I am very familiar with it, and I can also take you to see the strange mountains and mountains by the way." ”
Peach Blossom sighed secretly in her heart, and smiled politely at Su Yifeng: "Master Su, the important ones are almost the same, and you can know the rest at a glance." Let's go back and rest today. ”
Su Yifeng knew that Zhou Ziheng had always had feelings for Peach Blossom, and it was really inconvenient for him to talk about these two people, so he smiled at the moment and said, "Then Su Mou told me that he would definitely visit Zhu Yuncheng in the future." ”
Peach Blossom nodded in thanks and watched him leave.
Zhou Ziheng saw that Su Yifeng had left, so he naturally walked up to Peach Blossom and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”
"It's not a problem to be on the same path." Peach Blossom hesitated, "The problem is that you are walking with us, and there are many inconveniences. ”
These words really stunned Zhou Ziheng, so he asked, "What's the inconvenience?" My carriage is specially made, so you can bring all the daily necessities, and you won't feel tired of the journey. ”
Peach Blossom was entangled in her heart for a long time, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said: "I am a third-grade official of the Holy Seal, you are a big businessman, and the collusion between officials and businessmen is not very good in the eyes of others." ”
Zhou Ziheng didn't expect her to think like this, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "You are too careful, my cousin is an official in the court, and he is very close to us." I haven't seen him break off relations with us, so you don't have to worry about that. ”
What's more, how much his Zhou family contributed to Nanming's taxes, almost half of Nanming's commercial houses, the country's prosperity is inseparable from his family's efforts for generations, and how can the imperial court be willing to punish the Zhou family. It's just that these words that sound too proud, you don't need to let Peach Blossom know.
"Ah, that... But I'm too worried. Peach Blossom said unnaturally, so she could only bow her head and tidy up her desk to hide her guilt.
But what kind of person is Zhou Ziheng, he is the human spirit among the human spirits, not to mention that he attaches great importance to peach blossoms in his heart, and her every move and look is naturally in his eyes. Sensing her abnormality, he whispered tentatively: "You, what's wrong today?" Still angry? ”
Peach Blossom knew what he was referring to, and her face froze, but she still said: "Since you won't go to your heart when you say it, how can you worry about this matter." ”
This tranquil tone made Zhou Ziheng feel very uncomfortable to listen to, and he would rather be angry, quarrel with him, and cry sadly. At least it could make him feel that he could affect her emotions a little, but now, no matter what he did, even if it was so out of line, Peach Blossom could smile indifferently and forgive him so easily.
"Because I'm not in your heart, can you not put my mistake at ease?" Zhou Ziheng tried to calm his voice, but he didn't know that it sounded even more depressing.
Peach Blossom heard that his voice was wrong, so she raised her head, and saw Zhou Ziheng's eyes dark, as if she was trying to suppress her emotions, and the gentle smile on weekdays has now become a little unfamiliar, let alone warm.
"I told you a long time ago, we can't, why should you be persistent." Peach Blossom put down the Chinese book in her hand and frowned.
There was only a desk between the two, and Zhou Ziheng could smell the faint fragrance of the peach blossom hair, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently touch her cheeks, which looked as warm as jade. But he was dodged by Peach Blossom's head, and took a step back to distance himself.
His hand froze in mid-air, and when he was in a dilemma, he heard someone behind him say, "Don't want that hand anymore?" Do you want me to take it back for you? ”
Zhou Ziheng hurriedly turned around and saw a man carrying a knife in one hand, approaching step by step. There was both provocation and murder in the eyes that looked at him.
"Who are you?" Zhou Ziheng asked, but he didn't have too much guard, after all, people who can enter and leave the post station freely will not come from unknown sources.
Lin Jiuling turned his head slightly, looked at the peach blossoms, and made sure that she was okay before hooking his lips and smiling: "My life is saved, but I don't want my hand?" ”
This sentence undoubtedly pointed out who he was, Zhou Ziheng's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "It's you?!" ”
Lin Jiuling had already walked to Peach Blossom and stood still as she spoke, reaching out to pull a wisp of green silk hanging from her cheek behind her ear, her movements were skillful, as if it was a natural thing to do. And this natural action made Peach Blossom blush unnaturally, and made Zhou Ziheng's face darken.
From the fact that Peach Blossom only bowed her head slightly and did not dodge, it is not difficult to see that she does not reject this person's touch, and even blushes shamefully, and the water waves in her eyes are flowing, which seems to be ruthless but affectionate. This was undoubtedly a sharp blade inserted in Zhou Ziheng's heart, making him almost suffocate in pain.
"Dare to ask, Your Excellency?" can appear openly, Cheng Yiyi must also know, and if she approves, it will not be a chicken and dog thief. He still remembers what this man said that day, and he said that Peach Blossom was his person. At this time, the actions of the two were more like confirming that they had already known each other, which made Zhou Ziheng feel in danger.
Lin Jiuling squinted slightly, smiled evilly, and replied unhurriedly: "The surname is Lin, the name is not very important to you." ”
The person who refuses to say the name is either a superior person or a wicked person, and the person in front of him is full of evil energy, it seems that he doesn't want people to know the past, Zhou Ziheng thought for a moment, he already had a plan in his heart, and said humbly: "Brother Lin, although you and I are not meeting for the first time, this time can be regarded as a formal acquaintance." Self-traverse in the next week. ”
"I know." Lin Jiuling threw the knife on the table, and his eyes swept over Zhou Ziheng intentionally or unintentionally, "The Zhou family, the big merchant of Nanming, the young master Zhou of the 'No. 1 merchant in the world', I still know." ”
Zhou Ziheng smiled conceitedly, his eyes were quite proud, "the first merchant in the world" is the royal pen of the pilgrimage before the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the court and the central government are also courteous to Mr. Zhou, the weight of these five words is not much smaller than that of the saint in person.
Lin Jiuling chuckled, but a name, is it worth being so proud? Wouldn't his "No. 1 kill in the world" be more imposing?
Such a wicked smile made Zhou Ziheng frown, but he still had the generosity he should have, so he said, "Is Brother Lin on business here?" ”
"No, private." Lin Jiuling looked at the peach blossom and said.
Peach Blossom is very uncomfortable with the relationship between the two that has become a fait accompli, and this feeling of not being far away is too embarrassing, so that she doesn't know whether to respond or ignore it. And her silence became a default in Zhou Ziheng's opinion, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, making him unable to stay.
"Since that's the case," Zhou Ziheng bowed, with a faint and cold smile on his face, and said politely: "Since it is a private matter, the younger brother will not bother and leave first." With that, he turned around and walked out.
Peach Blossom felt guilty in her heart, and looked at his back blankly, wanting to say something comforting, but she felt that it was best to be ruthless.
Her eyes didn't escape Lin Jiuling's carefulness, he didn't like Peach Blossom to look at other people and men like this, even if it was just guilt in his heart, so he suddenly said loudly to Zhou Ziheng, who had already walked to the door: "Brother Zhou, I will accompany Little Peach Blossom back to Zhuyun, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”
Zhou Ziheng's figure paused slightly, and he strode away without looking back.
Little Peach Blossom? Peach Blossom raised her eyebrows and looked up at Lin Jiuling.
Lin Jiuling shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "You are younger than me, if you really don't like it, it's okay to call Sister Peach Blossom, or... Little peach? ”
It seems that I can't stay here anymore.,Peach Blossom is speechless.,Let's go back to the room to rest.。。。。 (To be continued.) )
