Chapter Seventy-Three: The Oolong Incident
Yuqiao sat in front of the bookcase for a while, looking at the portrait while holding her cheeks, and gradually became hazy, only to feel that Zhou Zhenwei was in front of her eyes, and stretched out her palm, gently touching her snowy and greasy cheeks.
She was cowardly and shy, when she suddenly heard a hoarse cry of "croak" outside the window, and suddenly her heart was frightened, and her hair stood on end. It was a black crow, perched on the edge of the window, with wet feathers, and standing listlessly with a short body.
Bixiu Caifu has been gone for a long time, and has not yet turned around, Yuqiao only feels that her body is slack, looking at the sky is still early, thinking that Yuhuan's wedding date has been set, and she is idle again, it is better to talk to her before she goes out of the pavilion.
Passing through the corridor, stepping into the stone road, all around the body are misty and foggy, the branches are thick and green and swaying, the ground is red and broken, and the mother-in-law and maid who walk around on weekdays are gone.
At this time, the rain gradually became heavier, like a pearl fluttering, Yuqiao didn't care about the wet embroidered shoes, and looked at the front of a pavilion that was closed on all sides and only opened one door, and hurried over.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the pavilion, he only heard someone talking inside, and Yuqiao carefully distinguished, it was actually Bixiu Caifu's voice.
These two girls will slip away and be lazy here! She bit her lip and smiled, tiptoeing to scare them.
Inside the door, Bixiu stared at Caifu and sobbed, and couldn't think of anything to persuade her for a while, so she said for a long time: "How can you believe the rumors in the market!" Don't you want to cry, your eyes are swollen like a peach, Miss will be suspicious, you can't stand being scared, Miss bluffed two sentences and you said everything, didn't you make her sad in vain! ”
Cai Fu wiped her tears with her sleeves, still wrinkling her face bitterly and said: "Sister Bixiu, where did I know that when I was waiting in front of the fried frozen fish head stall, I happened to have Aunt Li come over after escorting the matchmaker, she is a popular media in the city, and she is only for the official eunuch or prominent family to say goodbye." Someone asked her where she came from, but she said it herself, to say goodbye to Lord Zhou and the Miss Fang family, who was a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and even accepted the return gift, just waiting for the day when the discussion was finalized! ”
Speaking of this, Cai Fu began to teary again: "I was stunned at the time, and I thought in my heart, Lord Zhou is married to someone else, does he not want my young lady?" What about the young lady! She's also busy these days, drawing a portrait of the adults that week! ”
There was little silence for a while, only Caifu sobbed lowly, and Bixiu finally hated and said: "There are many unsympathetic men in this world, there is no more than him, and there is no less than him, Miss is a person who can afford to let go, and she can always get through." ”
She thought for a while, and then said, "I'll go to Young Master Yu early tomorrow morning and ask him to explore the truth again!" You and I don't have to confide in Miss! ”
As he was talking, he heard the sound of something hitting the board outside the door, and it was very loud! The two of them were startled, and couldn't help but look at each other, Bixiu hurriedly walked to the door, poked her head out and looked around, but there was no one, the purple water chicken that Caifu couldn't find everywhere, but "chirping" lying under the eaves of the pavilion, it was also to avoid the rain.
Bixiu turned to look at Caifu and urged: "Take the umbrella, it's a bit of a scene, I'm afraid that Miss will look for us." No matter what, for the sake of Miss, you have to hold on, if you can't bear it, you will pretend to be a little uncomfortable in the rain, don't come and wait! ”
Tsefu nodded in response: "I still won't wait!" I can't bear it, and I'm going to cry when I think about it. ”
The two of them kept chattering, and when they returned to the front porch of the house, they found that the ground was also wet.
She saw that her young lady was still sitting on the chair, looking at the painting in a daze, but the clothes on her body were soaked, and she hurriedly went to the cabinet to get new clothes, and muttered, "Where has the young lady gone?" It's so wet! ”
"I wanted to go to see Yu Huan, but I was only halfway through, but the rain was heavy, so I turned back again!" Yuqiao replied in a low voice, and his tone was as light as smoke.
Bixiu was about to say something, but when she saw that Caifu was coming in with the curtain lifted, she said, "Caifu, you go to the kitchen and get a bowl of ginger soup!" Miss, too, was drenched in the rain. ”
Zefu can't wait to go!
Bixiu waited for Yuqiao to change her clothes, and tried her best to say amusing words, but found that the young lady only had a pale face and did not speak, looking lazy and lazy. In the end, she only felt bored, so she forced a smile and said, "When is the young lady going to see this painting?" ”
I don't know how long it took, Bixiu thought that Yuqiao would never answer, but she heard her say calmly like water: "Wait until I'm tired of watching it!" ”
Zhou Zhenwei unconsciously clenched the peiyu on his waist, and looked at the mansion with cold eyes, Gu Sheng, Feng Qi and others came to congratulate him, only then did he know that he was engaged, and the long road of life in the future, it was not Xiao Qiao'er on the tip of his heart who wanted to spend time with him, but the girl named Fang Yumu.
This made Su Rili not surprised, and Zhou Zhenwei, who would not frown when the sky fell, also changed color in an instant at this time.
The gatekeeper looked at his own master for the first time, and appeared in the second gate murderously during the day, his face was as cold as a stone at this time, still iron-blue, his eyes were like frost and cold, and his mighty body was even tighter, enveloping the spirit of Sen Sen Suo, which made people only shudder.
He looked at the little guy who was shrunk aside, and said coldly: "Can the old lady and the eldest lady be in the mansion?" ”
"In the never!" The little guy only felt a gust of wind passing, and when he looked up, there was no one to see.
Just past the moon arch, Zhulan was feeding the cats, looking at Zhou Zhenwei striding towards the meteor, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Why did the fourth master come at this time?" The Ancestor is playing cards! ”
Before she finished speaking, the person who came had already lifted the curtain and entered the room, secretly surprised in her heart, thinking that the fourth master was strange today, so she slowly moved to the door and listened quietly.
In the room, the old lady and the second lady, the third lady and the third daughter-in-law are in a circle, laughing and playing cards, and the eldest lady sits beside the old lady and helps her follow closely to see the cards. One or two maids held the handle of the silver kettle, and when they saw whose tea bowl had bottomed out, they hurried to add it.
Everyone heard the sound of lifting the curtain and looked at it together, but it was Zhou Zhenwei, who was rarely seen on weekdays, and he fell in with a calm face at this time, all surprised and surprised.
The eldest lady stood up, smiled and wanted to say hello, but she saw that he didn't squint, and walked straight to the couch where the old lady's body was crooked, and knelt heavily in front of her eyes.
