Chapter 14 Night Exploration of the Clearing Courtyard
Thinking about the words of the old lady along the way, Xu Zigui was in a mess in his mind, and walked back to Liuqingyuan in a daze, as soon as he entered the house, the red sleeves hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in her ear, Xu Zigui's face was immediately ugly
"She really dares to think of it, it's really hard for her to think of such a vicious method"
After that, Xu Zigui narrowed his eyes, "Then let's play with them."
casually picked up a flower in the pot and crushed it, and the corners of his mouth bloomed with a grim smile and instructed Red Sleeves, "You go to the porter and wait, my brother will come and let him come over immediately, just say that I have something important to discuss with my brother"
"Yes" Red Sleeves Fu retreated, and Lan Xiang walked in and handed the envelope in his hand to Xu Zigui, "This is the letter that Red Sleeves stopped, I have copied a copy according to the handwriting and sent it back, girl, don't worry, there will be no mistakes"
Lan Xiang is a few maids specially selected by the Qin family to be specially cultivated, Lan Xiang's specialty is to write well, especially to imitate other people's handwriting, it is not the same as what I wrote, Xu Zigui naturally trusted Lan Xiang's kung fu, and did not open the envelope to see, just waiting for his brother to come back.
After a while, Xu Ziyu came to her courtyard, "Gui'er has something important to discuss with my brother," Xu Ziyu said while smiling, walked into the main hall, sat down next to the small table, and poured a cup of tea unceremoniously
"Look at my brother like he hasn't drunk water for a day, drink slowly, don't choke" said and handed over the handkerchief and said angrily, "Why did my brother come back so late today?"
"I accompanied the prince to meet a few students who are about to take the imperial examination this year, and I didn't drink a sip of tea after talking for a day," Xu Ziyu smiled and picked up a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth, "What is the matter with Gui'er looking for my brother?"
"My brother went to meet the students who are about to take exams? But I saw the young master of Aunt Liu's mother's family, "Xu Zigui is not in a hurry to say that he is looking for his brother, he just gossips with his brother leisurely."
Xu Ziyu only let Red Sleeves wait for him in the concierge when his sister missed him, so he no longer asked his sister what he was looking for, but only gossiped with his sister and talked about meeting those students...... The son of the Liu family is really as handsome as rumored, and his literary talent is also extremely outstanding, so it must not be difficult to get the top three. ”
Xu Zigui was clear, it seemed that Liu Qianquan was indeed a little talented, thinking like this, he became a little absent-minded, and he didn't speak, just staring at the tea inside with a teacup in a daze
"Gui'er? What do you want to be so engrossed" Xu Ziyu looked at her sister in a daze and ignored herself, and stretched out her five fingers in some wonder and shook them in front of Xu Zigui's eyes
Xu Zigui was shaken by his brother and came back to his senses, and pulled the corners of his mouth at his brother and laughed, "I didn't think about anything, my brother must be tired after a day of walking, hurry up and go back to wash and rest early" He yawned as he spoke, and laughed a little embarrassedly
Xu Ziyu laughed and looked at her sister, shook her head helplessly and got up and left.
As soon as Xu Ziyu walked on the front foot, Lan Xiang entered the main hall with the back foot: "Girl, can you show the letter to the prince?" ”
"Never" Xu Zigui glanced at the letter with his eyes, and said with a smile, "I have changed my mind, I want Liu Tianquan to take the exam first, and then find a way to ruin his reputation after he is in high school, let the Liu family try the taste of flying first, and then let them fall down hard"
After speaking, he waved his hand and didn't want to say more, Lan Xiang didn't mention it interestingly, and slowly spread Xu Zigui's hair and said softly, "Girl, take a bath and rest."
……
Lying on the bed, Xu Zigui couldn't sleep, one moment remembered the old lady's question in the afternoon, another moment remembered the special care of the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace for herself, and another moment remembered the dream she had on Chinese New Year's Eve in Liufangzhai. Xu Zigui patted his head in annoyance and forced himself not to think about those messy things, but his head didn't listen to the command, Xu Zigui closed his eyes with a headache and counted the sheep hoping to fall asleep, but it still didn't work, and he turned over again, but saw a black figure at the window.
Xu Zigui didn't dare to breathe in a nervous atmosphere, and when he reached out and touched the knife that had just been placed under the pillow, he relaxed slightly, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
After a long time, I didn't hear the sound of someone entering the room, thinking that maybe the person was gone, Xu Zigui slowly opened his eyes, but happened to see Mo Ziyuan sitting next to Xiao Ji and looking at him with a smile.
Xu Zigui was a spirit, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from screaming, and only then did he get up from the bed and salute the prince, and said with a little sarcasm, "The courtiers don't know that the prince is visiting in the middle of the night, if there is any rudeness, please forgive your highness"
Hearing the sarcasm in Xu Zigui's tone, Mo Ziyuan was not angry, and laughed with a rare good temper, "Don't wear a piece of clothing yet, be careful of catching a cold for a while"
Xu Zigui rolled his eyes in his heart, and thanked him for his thoughtfulness, and he didn't want to think about which one broke into her room in the middle of the night and forced her to get up to greet her! Xu Zigui rolled his eyes in his heart again, and said angrily, "Why did the prince come here in the middle of the night?"
"You are afraid of being lonely" Mo Ziyuan replied not as asked, and his tone was not a question but an affirmative statement.
"No," Xu Zigui turned his head away, not daring to look at him.
Mo Ziyuan pinched her chin and forced her to look at herself, "You have been afraid of loneliness since the first time we met, why"
"The prince is the pride of the sky, and the courtiers are naturally afraid," Xu Zigui replied lightly
Mo Ziyuan sneered: "Do you think that Lone can't see that you disdain to deal with the royal family in your heart?" Don't be perfunctory, be lonely and listen to the truth"
To tell you the truth, sister, do you want me to sue you, I was reborn once, and I was given death by you in my last life! Xu Zigui roared in her heart, this question is really difficult to answer, she knows in her heart that with Mo Ziyuan's brains, she can't fight him even if she has a hundred, let alone lie to him. I remember when I was in school, someone told her that when she didn't know how to answer a question, she would smile and look directly into the person's eyes until the person gave up asking you the question. But even if she borrowed Xu Zigui a hundred more dares, she didn't dare to smile and look at him silently. So, Xu Zigui took it out of context, broke free from the hand that pinched his chin, lowered his head and was silent.
After being silent for a long time, Mo Ziyuan saw that Xu Zigui still didn't mean to say anything, sighed, and decided to let her go, "Zigui....is there an allusion to this name?" ”
"I don't know" is much easier to answer, Xu Zigui was afraid that he would ask any more questions that were not easy to answer, so he hurriedly raised his head and replied crisply.
Mo Ziyuan looked at her with a dumb smile in his eyes, and was about to make a joke, but he heard someone's footsteps outside the door, Xu Zigui naturally heard it, and looked at Mo Ziyuan a little nervously, and suddenly remembered how he married Mo Qingyuan in his previous life, his face couldn't help but turn pale, and he was just about to open his mouth to let Mo Ziyuan hide when he heard a knock on the door
"Girl, what do you command?" Hearing the voice of the red sleeves, Xu Zigui breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly pretended to be confused, "It's okay, you go down"
