Chapter Eighty-Three: Giving You and Me Pain
The remnant stars dawned, and the morning mist dissolved.
Zhou Zhenwei leaned on a white horse, with a soft face in the spring breeze, standing outside the Zhumen of Chu Mansion for an hour.
Last night he tossed and turned, meditated for half a night, and made up his mind. I want to ask Miss Yuqiao well, can I marry him? If he nodded, he didn't care what Fang Yumu was, what the prince was. Only when the girl was set in one go, this hanging heart was steady.
The door "squeaked" and opened half open, Chu Wu half-opened his clothes, yawning and rubbing his eyes, but he saw a god.
Soap-colored clean-faced round-necked brocade robe, cyan brocade belt around the waist, hanging lake blue silk and white jade pendant, broad face and thick face, and eyes like meteors, the expression is even more cold and solemn, revealing the unruly and majestic momentum.
"What's important about Lord Zhou? This early in the morning? "Yesterday, the young master lifted the ban on Lord Zhou, and Chu Wu was very enthusiastic.
Before he could answer, there was already a sedan chair man carrying a sedan chair and rushing out, followed by Chu Yun, he and Zhou Zhenwei didn't say much, only made a deep gesture, and left.
In the end, Shi Shiran, who approached slowly, was naturally Mrs. Chu!
He was holding his hands behind his back, in a good mood, admiring the soaking and burning of Lin Hongxing by the wall, and when he walked away, he looked at Zhou Zhenwei at the opening of the Zhu Gate.
Twisting his eyebrows, he pursed his lips and squinted, but he didn't say a word.
"Zhou Zhenwei has seen Lord Chu!" Zhou Zhenwei saluted respectfully, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and said loudly.
Mrs. Chu looked him up and down, glanced at the jade pendant on his waist a few times, fixed his eyes for a while, and instantly felt uncomfortable.
This is not a taste, born from the heart, his face is majestic, and his words are naturally a little angry: "Isn't this Zhou Shaoyin of Yanjing Mansion?" What is the purpose of coming to my house to block the door again? ”
Zhou Zhenwei had already heard that the meaning of the words was not good, and he did not argue, and said honestly and frankly: "I have been engaged to Miss Fang and the young lady of the Fang family, and I have come to explain the reason to Miss Yuqiao today to get her understanding." ”
"Zhou Shaoyin is ridiculous, what does your engagement have to do with my girl?" He angrily reprimanded: "Although the empress of the previous dynasty has relieved the restraint of the people, and the interference between men and women is becoming more and more relaxed, but it is rare and hateful for someone like you to come to the door and specify that she wants to see the daughter of the deep house!" Is this to ruin my girl's name? ”
Zhou Zhenwei listened quietly, thought for a while, simply landed on one knee, knelt in front of Mrs. Chu, clasped his fists and said in a rough voice: "Since the first meeting with Miss Yuqiao, Zhenwei has admired her so far, when she is a pearl, how dare she blaspheme half a point?" Now that the engagement matter is solved, I am still afraid that the girl will think in her heart that Zhenwei is a frivolous person in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, and she must have a clear understanding with her, and ask Lord Chu for permission! ”
Chu Taifu was a little surprised, if Zhou Zhenwei found some other reasons, he would blast him away mercilessly. But he never thought that he would be so sincere, in front of his subordinates, he put down his frame, bowed down, and told his heartfelt words, which made him feel a little appreciated.
Now in the court, he has also heard that this person has a lot of things, but he is a fierce style, law enforcement and integrity, with the thoughtfulness of a civil official and the toughness and decisiveness of a military general.
What's more, can he still not know the little bit of his daughter's thoughts in Yuqiao's heart?
"You just wait here, the little girl lets you in, you have to go in." He looked at Chu Wudao again: "If you dare to let him in privately, be careful with your skin!" ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Zhou Zhenwei anymore, and then got into the sedan chair and left
Yuqiao woke up early, just lazily leaning on the jade-colored pink lotus pillow, last night's torrential rain hit the eaves of the sound, Xiaoxiao clustered in the middle of the night, she was dazed, thinking that the person could not get it, so she shed some tears, until the screen window came in with light, faintly heard Bixiu open the door, rolled up the Hunan bamboo curtain, and gently whispered to the mother-in-law to talk.
Waiting for Bixiu to enter the house with a half copper basin of hot water, with a cotton towel on her elbow, she looked at her own girl, with her hair curly down, wearing only a green white short dress and a long skirt, gently twisting her small waist and leaning out, staring out of the open window.
"What is Miss looking at? The rain is slightly cool, and it is time to put on a dress! ”
Yuqiao listened to Bixiu's nagging, and her lonely heart had some warmth, and she turned around and washed with a basin of water, and coincidentally opened the curtain in Chunzi to reveal half of her face, and said with a smile: "The third lady asked me to send a few freshly embroidered red handkerchiefs to the second miss to be happy!" ”
Bixiu hurriedly stepped forward and spread it out, all embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, or winged birds flying in the water.
Yu Qiao smiled and said: "Yu Huan is becoming more and more capable, the embroidery is exquisite!" She saw that Chunzi was still in the curtain, and said, "You come in, let me ask you, what kind of pattern is embroidered in Yuhuanxi's clothes!" ”
"Second Miss go and ask Third Miss directly! The slave and maid will also send a veil! Chunzi put down the curtain and went out with a smoke.
"This little girl doesn't take her master seriously anymore! Catch up with Ming'er and pull her out to match the little girl! Yuqiao gritted her teeth.
"Miss is here again! But I can't count. Cai Fu happened to come in, pouted and said: "A few days ago, the girl in the young master's room Hongling was matched with Wang'er, and the young lady was reluctant to be like anything!" I don't want to marry that wang'er anymore! ”
Yuqiao blushed and said, "Bixiu, take a needle to sew up her mouth, and look at the nonsense!" ”
There was a commotion here, and Lu'er came in and said: "Lord Zhou is standing outside the outer door, and the master said, Miss is allowed, so he can come into the second hall." ”
After a moment of silence, Yu Qiao's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Lead Lord Zhou to the second hall, I'll be there later!" ”
Zhou Zhenwei looked at Yuqiao, wearing a blue shirt and an apricot yellow skirt, and sat on the chair with her face hanging down, only revealing her white neck.
Greasy and slightly fragrant! He seemed to have touched the snow with his hand, and his heart suddenly jumped up, and his throat was a little hoarse!
"Lord Zhou came early in the morning to look for Yuqiao, I don't know what to say!" After waiting for a while, and not seeing him make a sound, Yuqiao opened his mouth.
Zhou Zhenwei sorted out his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "My engagement with Miss Fang is really not my will, I want to tell the girl about the ins and outs of the future today!" ”
"This is Lord Zhou's business, what does it have to do with Yuqiao?"
The girl's face was cold, and her words were even colder, he only felt that his heart was like falling to the bottom, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yuqiao thinks it has nothing to do with it, is it forgetting the bright moonlit night of the old house in Shangxi Village, am I right?" The girl forgot, I'll say it again! ”
Yuqiao raised his eyes to look at him, and the smile on his lips was shallow: "Yuqiao doesn't want to hear it, and the adults have forgotten those words!" ”
