Jin Xuan was a little anxious this night, worried that Jin Yi and Sima Yulou would go out alone, and if she was bumped into by someone, it would have a lot of impact on her reputation. He didn't know why his aunt was dissatisfied with Jinyi, his cousin left Beijing suddenly, and he had always been angry in his heart, angry that he was such an irresponsible person.

Not long after he took Jinru home, Sima Yulou's little servant came to ask to see him. The wine roughly said that his family went to the northwest a few days ago to do business, and he had just come back from the night in order to promise to accompany Miss Yi to enjoy the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival.

Jin Xuan was satisfied when he heard this, and saw that Sima Yulou had someone to arrange for Jin Yi to return to the house at night, and he also took care of her reputation, so he sent Tai Chu to catch up.

When it came to the fourth watch, the three of Jinyi quietly entered Yunxiu Pavilion and did not alarm the people in the pavilion. Qian Mo went to the stove to boil some hot water, and after Jin Yi bathed and changed clothes, she lay on the bed and thought was surging in her heart.

In the past, she seemed to be walking alone in the dark night, but after tonight, it seemed that someone came to her side, holding a candle in his hand, although it was not very bright, but it still illuminated the road under his feet clearly, and from then on the two of them walked together, no longer as lonely and helpless as before.

Tossing and turning until dawn did not fall asleep.

By the time Qiaowei came to wake her up, it was almost over. I got up and washed and changed my clothes, and changed into a thin jacket with a pine flower color begonia pattern, and a peach-colored cloud water long skirt underneath. Now it is the season of spring flowers, with such a delicate and fresh color, the jasper Tenghua Luo Hai on the head hangs down a faint tassel, which looks more gentle and kind, not as plain and low-key as usual, and the cheeks of Ning Ying are even more ruddy with happy eyebrows.

Jinru had come early, knowing that she had not woken up yet, and only looked at the camellia she planted in the garden outside. At this time, seeing her dress today, and the joy on her face was different from the past, he hurriedly came over to hold her arm and asked her in a low voice, "Where did my cousin take you yesterday?" ”

Jin Yi's cheeks were slightly red, and he said softly: "It's just to enjoy the lights on the lake." ”

"Did my cousin tell you anything?" Jinru asked.

Jin Yi bowed her head and was silent, Jin Ru didn't know much about herself and Xiaolou. But I have always been very concerned. More and more, I felt that it was really inappropriate to meet him like this several times.

Jin Ru understood her thoughts, and comforted with a smile: "There are many men and women in Shangyuan Festival City, which can be regarded as Jianye's custom. As he spoke, he said with some embarrassment: "I also saw Zu Juntian last night." However, he didn't recognize me at first, but he didn't know it was me until he saw my brother. After following us for a while, my brother dragged me home. ”

Jin Ru and Zu Juntian had passed Najib's small decision last year, and it was okay to meet on a day like the Shangyuan Festival. Jin Xuan was always worried that she was simple-minded and afraid of being gossiped. That's why I kept her in extra tight hands.

As he spoke, Jin Xuan walked in.

Jin Yi was a little surprised when she saw him, hung her head and said, "Brother Jin Xuan, I was not good last night, which made you worried." ”

Jin Xuanyuan didn't want to accuse her, but he was embarrassed to see her like this, and asked a little worriedly: "I don't know what kind of attitude my aunt has, when these two **** see my cousin, I must ask him well and let him explain this." Otherwise, you will do it again. It will have an impact on your reputation. ”

Jin Yi heard him mention Princess Chuchen, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart, although Xiaolou said last night that the princess did not object, but then it was not easy to ask in detail, I really didn't know what the princess was thinking.

The Jinxuan brothers and sisters saw that she was embarrassed, and they no longer asked her.

After lunch, Jin Xuan went out to the Ministry of Industry. The annual leave has passed, and he is going to be busy again.

Jinru has been in Yunxiu Pavilion and followed Jinyi to learn to plant camellias. When I saw the black agate flower pot in the greenhouse, I asked with some curiosity: "This flower looks so strange." Why use black pots to raise them? ”

Jin Yi quietly pulled her away, and just said casually: "This flower is a different species of lily of the valley, and it is not easy to get." Don't get too close, be careful of the thorns on it. ”

said. Let Qiaowei put the pot of flowers on the high shelf. He said to Jinru again: "I want to learn the piano, I wonder if you have a familiar pianist?" ”

Jinru heard that she had such a Yaxing, and said with a smile: "Originally, when my father was at home, he invited a pianist, and his piano skills were excellent, and I studied with him for more than half a year. Later, he traveled to Jiangnan, so he put it on hold. Now I don't play very well, and my hands are raw. ”

Jin Yi thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there a teacher in Jianye City who can play the gonghou?" ”

Jinru was a little strange, "Konghou is a musical instrument in the Western Regions, and I heard that only people in the song and dance workshops opened by people in the Western Regions can play it." Why did my sister remember to learn this? ”

Jin Yi shook her head and didn't speak again.

Jinru was aroused by her and asked Rou Tao to bring her piano. In the afternoon, the two sat in the flower pavilion in the garden, Jin Ru played the piano, Jin Yi took an embroidery shed, and slowly embroidered at will to pass the time.

It wasn't until Jin Ru returned to Ying Bixuan in the evening that Jin Yi took out the jade buckle, and Qiao Wei polished the shape for her again, changing it to an oblong shape suitable for the jade pendant. Jin Yi took the carving knife and carefully carved it under the lamp, until the moontop was in the treetops, and it was finally completed.

Under the leafy branches, a small piece of white jade on the warm smoke purple jade was carved, and a half-lying horse was carved, twisting its neck towards the purple bamboo beside him, vivid, and his posture was somewhat similar to the snow like the wind in Sima Yulou.

On the second day, Sima Yulou arrived at the Changfeng Marquis Mansion early in the morning.

Jin Xuan came out to greet him, but his face was a little unkind. When the two entered the Shenxin Hall, Jin Xuan asked directly, "Cousin, what's going on with you and Jin Yi?" Do you have a plan in mind? ”

Sima Yulou smiled and nodded, he knew that Jin Xuan was very concerned about Jin Yi's situation, and he talked with his mother for a long time yesterday, Jin Yi's life experience could not be said, but he briefly mentioned to her that Mr. Ji had taught Jin Yi.

Princess Chuchen knew that he had worshiped under Mr. Ji since he was a child, and King Chuchen had praised Ji Shuxuan to her, saying that he was rich in learning and had the ability to excel. Hearing that Jin Yi was also his doorman, she was extremely surprised, she was silent for a long time, only nodded, and did not ask any more.

Back then, King Chuchen never talked about her in detail when he was outside, and it wasn't until a long conversation before his death that he explained everything to her one by one. The princess knew that she was only a woman who lived in the house, so she never asked what her son had done.

He didn't say it himself, but naturally he had his own reasons like his father. Since Yulou and Jinyi had known each other long before Jianye, Princess Chuchen took the initiative to say to him: "If you really want to be with her, call her again in a few days." Last time I was a little cold to her, I guess she didn't feel good either. ”

Sima Yulou was relieved at this time, knowing that his mother would no longer be unhappy about this matter. (To be continued.) )
