In the twilight of March, the red apricot deep-flowered puffer fish is desired.

There is a girl selling flowers in the boat on the river, with a white magnolia hairpin in her ear, her eyebrows and eyes are full, and she comes and goes in the rippling blue waves.

Xie Yiying sat in the riverside restaurant, looking out the window with her arms propped up, the spring is beautiful, no matter how you live, it will not be wasted.

Spring is like a promise, there is a woman on the first floor playing and singing, Xie Yiying listened to it for a while, and Qisheng followed and said:

"Spring travel, apricot blossoms blow all over the head, who is young and full of romance."

The voice is beautiful, with a bit of lazy comfort.

Zhou Jin sat opposite her, bowing her head and turning the pages slowly, the table was brown and green, and the smoke was fragrant.

I wore a cyan shirt today, probably because the sky was too good, and he also had soft eyebrows.

Xie Yiying is an apricot yellow dress, which is rare and delicate. The bun is tied up with a wooden hairpin, and a string of lily of the valley is pinned, and the pink and white flowers hang down one by one, like the appearance of a foot girl.

On the whole, she looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl from an ordinary family, but she looks better than ordinary people.

Xie Yiying is hindered by her identity, it is difficult to get out of the house, and Zhou Jin rarely has such idle time, so she can sit down and read idle books with her.

Xie Yiying didn't ask him why he didn't have those court calculations today, and only happily enjoyed this rare time.

The people who are smoked in the spring breeze are drunk, and the chefs of this restaurant are all masters invited by Jiangnan, and the dishes are accurate and exquisite. The rice grains are distinct, soft but not rotten; The noodles are tough and can be worn into bands and continuously; The cake is thin and transparent, and can reflect the characters; Wonton soup is clear, can be injected with inkstone and grinding ink; The dumplings are fragrant and crispy; The flavor of the sea fish is fresh, and the soup is thick but not greasy.

Xie Yiying's favorite dessert, pine nut taro paste cake is sweet and soft, the fresh glutinous roll with tofu skin is crispy and fragrant, the color of the tomato is golden, and the hibiscus cake is soft and sweet. The wine is even more bamboo-leafed, and after a hundred cups, it is crazy, and it is crazy and angry.

Those who eat straight have no sorrow and forget their troubles. More than a dozen stores in Yangzhou are experiencing the pain of transformation because they have to prepare for the reform of Jiangnan politics in advance. Most of the store's profits have fallen to the point where they can be ignored, and a small number of them have lost money.

The top of his head is pressed by those industries that are on the verge of bankruptcy, and every day before going to bed, his mind is full of account books, and Xie Yiying has spent no time at all.

Until today.

The bamboo leaves are mellow and fragrant, but I don't dare to drink more, Xie Yiying drank two small cups, and the bottom of his eyes began to glow with water. Zhou Jin saw it, raised his hand and touched her face comfortingly. Xie Yiying narrowed her eyes, and the temperature of her face was in the palm of her face, which comfortably made her want to wagging her tail and meowing.

Zhou Jin looked at her cat-like posture, although her expression remained unchanged, she pursed her lips slightly. He looked at Xie Yiying's slightly open mouth, his lips were red and his teeth were white, like a spring about to emerge.

It makes people think...... Kiss it up.

There was a knock on the door.

Xie Yiying blinked, and Zhou Jin withdrew his hand and sat up straight.

He arranged for Geng Ming to guard at the door, ordinary people must not be able to approach here, and now it must be someone from the royal family who can make Geng Ming dare not stop him.

Sure enough, the person who pushed the door in had a familiar mild smile.

Zhou Zhao.

At this time, even Zhou Jin's face showed obvious displeasure. However, the ceremony could not be discarded, and the two still stood up and greeted people.

Zhou Zhao was very amiable and didn't treat himself as an outsider. casually pulled a chair over and sat between the two: "I was passing by on errands, and I wanted to take a break, but when I saw Geng Ming at a glance, I guessed that the fourth brother was here, but I didn't think that the fourth brother and sister were also there, and the two of you were idle." ”

Xie Yiying pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer. My husband is here today, what do you think?

Xie Yiying didn't speak, so Zhou Jin could only speak: "The third emperor brother has important things, it's better to do it, you don't need to accompany me and my insiders." ”

Pick people up when you open your mouth, and show no mercy. I don't blame Zhou Jin, today he chartered the field and cleared the entire second floor, which obviously means that he wants to stay alone with his daughter-in-law, whether it's chatting or just looking at the scenery, he doesn't want outsiders to come in and disturb him at all. The outsiders referred to here naturally include the third prince who doesn't know what to see.

"It's not in a hurry," Zhou Zhao smiled unabated, as if he didn't hear the meaning of Zhou Jin's words at all, "If you leave after seeing only one side, it seems that our two brothers are estranged." And what could be more important than my brother and sister? By the way, today seems to be the birthday of my brother and sister? Zhou Zhao said and took out a wooden box from his arms, "I didn't have time to prepare a gift, I just got a pair of bracelets before, and it's not a valuable object, but the picture has a good meaning, don't dislike it younger brothers and sisters." ”

The wooden box is opened, and a pair of pure white jade bracelets in the box are crystal white, delicate and warm, and its light color and chromaticity are impressively mutton fat white jade.

Although the mutton fat white jade is valuable, it is not rare, but the two bracelets have no flaws at all, only one of them, there is a little tender yellow, but it is a plum blossom that is natural, and the other bracelet on the finger belly size is a vivid magpie.

This implication is overjoyed.

This is the world's first and most priceless treasure.

Xie Yiying looked at Zhou Jin, the gift was so expensive that she was embarrassed to accept it.

Zhou Jin's eyes darkened a little: "Since it is the intention of the third emperor brother, let's accept it." Then he nodded to Zhou Zhao, "Brother Huang, I just have something to discuss with you, let's go out and talk about it." ”

"Okay." Zhou Zhao's smile was as warm as jade.

When he went out and closed the door, Zhou Zhao's smile remained unchanged, and Zhou Jin almost hit him in the face with a fist. Geng Ming hung his head and waited aside, but he was always ready to rush up to help his master make up for a black punch.

"Zhou Zhao, stay away from Xie Yiying."

"Why," Zhou Zhao was still calm, "This girl is very interesting, fourth brother, you must know that everyone wants good things." Let alone...... I didn't do anything, did I? ”

"The third princess has been recuperating outside for the rest of the time except for the New Year, do you think this matter can avoid the eyes of a few people?"

Zhou Zhao spread his hands without a scoundrel: "She's not in good health, and I can't help it." But brother, I'll also tell you the truth, with its guilt, what everyone wants, keep it if you can keep it, and let it go if you can't keep it, otherwise it won't be good for anyone. ”

Then he regained his usual appearance and straightened his clothes: "There is still something to do, I'll go first." ”

Zhou Jin watched him leave without saying a word.

Geng Ming admired it, it is worthy of my lord, this city makes people think about his daughter-in-law and can still stand still.

I heard Zhou Jin suddenly say: "Find out about the affairs of the official department and deal with him." ”

The official department is still the book, and Zhou Zhao's people.

And at this moment in the room, Xie Yiying asked Qingmei with a confused face:

"It's my birthday?"
