Chapter Thirty-Three: It Turned Out to Be Him
Fuquan's body is gradually getting better, a few days ago, he was so sick that he even began to worry about the future, but now looking at Fuquan leisurely basking in the sun in the courtyard, where does he look like a person who has walked through the ghost gate?
After seeing Fuquan's almost death this time, and knowing the story of their mistake for 20 years, everything was settled, and Zhu Zhen suddenly remembered him. The person who made himself who never believed in love at first sight can't let go of it when they met for the first time, the person who can't forget even if he knows that he deceived himself, the person who looks at him coldly, but just one glance can make her disarm and surrender. If she really can't let go, does she want to put aside her persistence, her principles, and tell him what she thinks? Tell him that you have feelings for him, and not a little, and tell him that maybe we can give it a try, maybe there will be a surprise? Even if there is no result, at least they have been side by side.
The more she thought about it, the more Zhu Zhen felt that she couldn't hold back that she wanted to see him, and wanted to tell him all the words in her heart, her heartbeat, her concern, her anxiety, her grievances, all told him in one go, no matter whether he would laugh at himself for not being reserved as a girl, even if he regarded one of her confessions as a joke. Tomorrow is an unknown, if you don't grasp today, tomorrow, who knows who will be on the other side of the world?
Zhu Zhen made up her mind, as soon as she returned to the palace, she would go to him and tell him everything.
"Ji'er." Fuquan's voice sounded softly.
"Uncle Fu, you say." Zhu Zhen said with a shallow smile.
"You made that amethyst crisp roll a few days ago, let's make some more." After a pause, Fuquan said again, "I've been thinking about it lately." ”
I want to eat, this is a good sign, Zhu Zhen said happily: "Then uncle, you wait a little, Zhen'er will make it for you." As he spoke, the bamboo basket summoned two more servants from outside the courtyard to serve, and then went to the kitchen.
When he returned, he saw a man and a woman sitting next to him. The man turned his back to the bamboo basket, and he couldn't see his face, but he could sit next to Prince Yu, and his status was not low. The woman standing on the side can see a side face, not very old, with a natural rhyme, these two people, are they a couple?
While thinking, the bamboo basket stepped forward. Fu Quan saw the bamboo basket first, and beckoned with a smile: "I'm back, come over quickly, and introduce you Uncle Chang Ning and the sixth sister of his family to you." ”
Only then did Zhu Zhen know that the man sitting with his back to him was Prince Gong Changning, and this woman was not his Fujin, but his daughter. After walking two steps quickly, Zhu Zhen asked for peace: "The slave maid asks Prince Gong for peace, and for Liugege." ”
The woman smiled and pulled the bamboo basket up, and said, "The second uncle is still talking to Ama about you, what are you doing outside like this, my name is Yiermu, a few years older than you, you can call me Sister Yi." ”
Zhu Zhen glanced at Fuquan, and when she saw Fuquan nodding encouragingly, she called, "Sister Yi is good." ”
Yiermu responded sweetly, and said, "What delicious food did you bring here?" ”
Zhu Zhen put the food box on the stone table, took out the dim sum flower tea one by one, and said, "Uncle Fu wanted to eat amethyst crisp rolls, so he made a few more things, and made a pot of tea with dim sum." ”
Prince Gong, who had not spoken up, said: "Second brother, you have a good nourishing day, and you can't complain about not going out." ”
Fuquan replied to him with a smile: "If you are envious, the door of my house is always open, and anyone dares to block your drive?" ”
A few dim sums, that is, the amethyst crisp roll is made of bamboo baskets, and the other few are made by the pastry chef in the house, and the bamboo baskets are made with a pot of black snow tea for drinking.
Poured out three cups of tea and served them one by one in front of the three of them, Zhu Zhen looked at Yi Ermu, and said with some hesitation: "Sister Yi, this red snow tea is a little bitter, sister taste it, if you are not used to drinking it, Zhu Zhen will change it to other tea for you." ”
Hearing this, Yiermu took a sip and frowned: "It's quite pleasing to look at the red and glamorous, but it's really bitter to drink." Hurriedly took an amethyst crisp roll, diluted the bitterness in his mouth, and said in surprise, "This crisp roll is delicious!" Good sister, what do you put here? ”
Zhu Zhen smiled: "It's just made of yam and purple potato, and red dates and chestnuts are added, and the sugar shreds wrapped around the outside are sprinkled with cooked sesame seeds, the method is not difficult, if my sister likes it, Zhu Zhen will write the recipe to my sister, so that my sister can often eat it when she returns home." Irmu is naturally supposed to be "good".
The bamboo basket sandwiched two pieces of amethyst crisp and rolled them into a small plate, picked out two other pieces of dim sum, held the small plate in front of Fu Quan and said, "Uncle Fu tasted it, didn't you think about it for a long time?" ”
Here Fuquan didn't reply, but Chang Ning opened his mouth first: "Second brother, your niece is very biased, look at her serving you with snacks, and sending a little hexagonal, she is alone with her younger brother, it should be really sad." ”
Zhu Zhen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and Fu Quan said to Zhu Zheng: "Ignore him, it's good to have him to eat." ”
Although Fuquan said this, Zhu Zhen couldn't really do this, so he picked a few pieces of dim sum and handed them to Chang Ning and said, "Zhu Zhen is not thoughtful, don't worry about it." ”
Chang Ning took the plate, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and said, "Call Uncle Sheng to forgive you for your sin." ”
"Uncle Chang Ning, you bully juniors like this, and you are not afraid of choking." Zhu Zhen muttered, but before the words fell, Chang Ning really choked, Yiermu was busy patting Chang Ning's back, and Zhu Zhen handed over the water. Chang Ning listened to his breath, but he wanted to speak but coughed, which caused the other three to laugh.
Fuquan smiled and picked up a piece of amethyst crisp roll with a smile, put two mouthfuls into his mouth, and said, "Let's see if you can be honest next time." With that, he picked up the second piece and destroyed it. Zhu Zhen handed over the teacup and fed Fuquan and took a small sip. Fuquan frowned slightly and said: "You girl, first sweet in your mouth, and then bitter in your heart, are you really not playing tricks on my old man?" ”
Zhu Zhen pouted and said: "Uncle Fu has no conscience, Ji'er serves you like this, you still don't appreciate it!" As he spoke, he took Yiermu's arm and said, "Good sister, Uncle Fu doesn't like me, let's take snacks and tea, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Yiermu was very happy, and nodded along the bamboo basket and said, "Excellent! The second uncle didn't appreciate it, so we took a snack to honor Ah Mou, and Ah Mu Xu was willing. ”
Chang Ning's eldest is not small, and he also coaxed: "Second brother, my brother looks at Yiermu and this girl is very close to each other, and second brother, you are not satisfied with this girl, so I will lead her to my house." As he spoke, he turned to Zhu Zhen and said, "How about it, girl, do you want to go?" ”
Seeing that Prince Gong was also helping him, Zhu Zhen laughed more and more, pretending to be aggrieved and said, "Ask Uncle Chang to take him in!" ”
Fu Quan didn't know that he had a word, and he was so hot, and said with a wry smile: "You two are eating and drinking in my house, and in the end, you have to kidnap people too!" I've been a 'Uncle Fu' for a month, and I let you two compare these few words, sad! Chang Ning and Yiermu listened and laughed unexpectedly.
When the bamboo basket saw that it was good, he took a few steps forward, squatted down, shook Fuquan's arm and said, "Good uncle, don't be sad, how can you be willing to go?" Such a good day of eating, drinking, and living in vain, who is willing to go! ”
Listening to the first half of the sentence, Fuquan was still comforted, squinting and smiling, and after listening to the second half of the sentence, he said that this girl was not in shape, and scratched the nose of the bamboo basket with a smile, and said: "Little conscienceless, it is not your Uncle Fu who dares to love you, it is those who are delicious and delicious!" ”
Several people laughed, and Babeiler came in and shouted, "Second uncle, fifth uncle." A few people looked at each other, and Babel was smiling and looking at this side.
Zhu Ji was in a good mood today, and he looked at Babel with a smile in his eyes, but he didn't even notice it.
Babeile also saw the eyes of Zhu Zhen looking at him, and his eyes were soft, but because the two elders Prince Yu and Prince Gong were there, it was not easy to talk to her directly. Just as he was about to say goodbye to the two uncles first, Yiermu's surprised voice sounded: "Brother Yu! ”
The next moment, Ilmu had already run to Babel's side and graciously took Babel's arm.
When Prince Yu saw it, he only smiled kindly, but Prince Gong straightened his face and said, "Yiermu, look at what you look like, you are all married people, and you are like a little girl all day long!" Don't let go of Babel yet! ”
Babel Ren Yiermu climbed his arm, smiled and said to Prince Gong: "Fifth Uncle don't scold Yiermu, she is still her own little sister in front of me." ”
Seeing that Babeile said good things for himself, Yiermu became more and more proud, and he didn't take Prince Gong's words seriously, and said with his head held high: "Amma, you also heard it, what's wrong with getting married, Brother Yu still loves Ermu!" ”
Seeing this, Prince Gong frowned and said, "What 'Brother Xu'?!" There are no rules, where can you scream like this! The royal tooth is in front of him, shouting 'Starling' with other sisters! ”
Yiermu didn't follow: "Ama is so unreasonable, Yiermu shouted like this when he was a child, and others can call him whatever they like, I want to shout 'Brother Xu'!" ”
Babeile smiled tolerantly and said: "Yiermu can shout as much as she likes, anyway, she shouted like this when she was a child, Yinxi also felt kind when she heard it, and the fifth uncle should not worry about Yiermu." ”
"Amma, you see, Brother Yu didn't say anything, don't always talk about me!" Where does Yiermu still have the mature charm of Fang Cai, and has turned back into a delicate little princess who has not yet left the cabinet and is favored by her father and brother.
Prince Gong didn't have a problem with her, shook his head and sighed, but Fuquan smiled and comforted Chang Ning: "Yiermu likes it, just let her go, isn't it a title to shout anything?" ”
"This girl!" Prince Gong sighed and turned to talk to Prince Yu and Babel about other topics.
She tried to calm herself, she tried to digest the information, she tried to think about what kind of situation she was facing, but she still couldn't convince herself. Brother Xu, Brother Xu, in her ears, it was Yiermu's beautiful call one after another, but how did she think that this sound like a nightingale on the grassland was like a magic sound, the sound was urging people, constantly torturing her ear drums? Did she hear it? I'm not talking about "Brother Xu", right? No, no, no, definitely not, he's not Brother Xu.
"I have a little sister at home, and she always likes to call me Brother Xu, so you can call me Brother Zhen too."
"Yiermu shouted like this when he was a child, and others can call him whatever they like, I want to shout 'Brother Xu'!"
"Yiermu can shout as much as she likes, anyway, she shouted like this when she was young."
"I have a little sister at home, and she always likes to call me Brother Xu, so you can call me Brother Zhen too."
"Yiermu shouted like this when he was a child, and others can call him whatever they like, I want to shout 'Brother Xu'!"
"Yiermu can shout as much as she likes, anyway, she shouted like this when she was young."
……
Headache, like it's about to blow up. Zhu Zhen bit her lower lip secretly, but the pain in her mouth couldn't make her wake up, she couldn't hold on, she didn't know how to face Babel. No wonder Thirteen said that he had never seen the jade pendant, he had a good relationship with the four Baylors since he was a child, if the jade pendant was the four Baylor's, presumably the thirteen should have seen it, and the thirteen had not seen it, because it was not the "fourth brother", but the "brother Yu".
The big brother that Zakuta Bamboo has been obsessed with since she was eight years old, the man who has made her thirst for six years, is Babel. What's more, there is still a childhood friendship between them, and Prince Yu's involvement, and now she is on duty in Chuxiu Palace, so many coincidences, is it really not providence? She has occupied her body, and now in the face of the person she loves, do you want to listen to your own heart? Or do you want to fulfill her long-cherished wish?
Zhu Zhen, no, Zhang Ruoyu was confused.
"Zhuzhen, what are you thinking?" Ilmu's voice rang in his ears.
Zhu Zhen raised her eyes blankly, Yiermu's face was a little blurry, she made a steady moment, pulled out a trance smile, and said, "No, maybe I've been sunburned for a long time, and my head is a little dizzy." ”
Yiermu said nervously: "Look at your ugly face, I'll help you back to the courtyard to rest." ”
Prince Yu and Prince Gong were also busy agreeing. Zhu Ji hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Sister Yi finally came, just accompany Uncle Fu to talk, I'm fine." ”
Babel, who had been silent, opened his mouth and said, "Zhu Ji is right, Yiermu is here to sit with the second uncle, and I will send Zhu Ji back to the house." As he spoke, he didn't allow the bamboo basket to open his mouth to refuse, so he got up and took the bamboo basket from Yiermu's hand.
Prince Yu knew it in his heart and said, "In this case, Yinxi will send Ji'er back to the room to rest." ”
Although Prince Gong was a little confused, he didn't say anything when he saw that Prince Yu was like this.
Seeing Prince Yu say this, Zhu Ji knew that he would be suspicious if he resigned, although the last person he wanted to be by his side at the moment was Babel, but he couldn't, so he had to quit Prince Yu's courtyard with Babel.
All the way, Babel didn't speak, just looked straight ahead. Not long after he entered the courtyard, he saw that something was wrong with the bamboo basket, but because Prince Yu and Prince Gong were present, it was difficult to ask out loud, but fortunately, Yiermu saw that he always glanced at the bamboo basket, and found that something was wrong with the bamboo basket, otherwise, I don't know how long this girl will last.
Thinking of this, Babeile suddenly became angry, and he was about to reprimand her a few words, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhu Zhu's pale face and beads of sweat on his forehead, and most of the anger in his stomach was dispersed, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is it uncomfortable?" ”
Hearing Babel's voice, Zhu Zhu's body trembled for no reason, and said softly: "It's nothing, it's just a little dizzy and weak, I think it's been a long time since the sun has fallen." ”
Babel let out an "um" and didn't speak again.
Zhu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, afraid that he would ask again and again. But before she could relax for long, as soon as the two entered the courtyard gate, as soon as her body was light, she was picked up by Babel and went straight to the house. Zhu Zhen snorted, fortunately, when Fujin wanted to send more people to his courtyard, he was politely declined, otherwise this scene would make people look at it, gossiping, how can they get it.
"Eight, eighth master, you let me down, I can go by myself." The bamboo basket nudged Babel's chest and said urgently.
"Do you have to go against my will every time?" Babel glanced at the bamboo basket, and his ink eyes were like water.
Zhu Zhen was stunned by what he said, and didn't wait to say anything, Jian Chun and Dye Qiu came out of the house, and when they saw the two of them like this, they were all surprised, and hurriedly walked up to meet them, "The girl is long and the girl is short" and asked non-stop.
Babel put the bamboo basket on the bed, cut the spring and dyed the autumn to serve the bamboo basket and lay down, and twisted the veil to clean his face. After slowing down for a while, the bamboo basket has slowly calmed down, she grabbed the quilt corner, looked at Babeile timidly and said: "Eighth master, the slave maid is really fine, it's just a small thing, just lie down for a while." Somehow, the disorganized temperament of Babel made her a little scared, and the calmness and calmness with which she usually dealt with Babel was gone, and she couldn't figure out when she would pick up his tiger whiskers, so she had to be more and more cautious.
Babel's big hand reached into the white and smooth forehead of the bamboo basket, and his palm was still a faint temperature that did not change at four o'clock. Babel said: "I was only sick once a few days ago, why don't you know how to rest more?" Knowing that his body is just right, he dares to stand in the great sun for so long? ”
Although Babel was reproachful, his tone was very soft, very, gentle. Zhu Xiao lowered his eyes and whispered, "The slave will pay attention next time." ”
"Look at me." Eight Baylor suddenly said in a straight voice. Although Zhu Zhen was a little reluctant, he still slowly turned his gaze to him.
"Don't use the word 'slave' in front of me." Zhu Ji wanted to say something, but he stopped him and said, "Before, I was afraid that you would prevaricate me with a bunch of rules, but today in front of the second uncle and the fifth uncle, don't you also call yourself 'me'?" Since I dare to call myself 'me' in front of the second uncle and the fifth uncle, where do I need to mention any rules in front of me? ”
"The inside of the palace is no better than the outside." Zhu Zhen didn't say any more, she knew, he understood.
"In Chuxiu Palace." Seeing that Zhu Ji was about to say something again, Babel sighed and said, "At least when it's just the two of us." ”
Zhu Zhen held the quilt, half of her face was hidden in the quilt, she didn't want to promise anything, she never believed in promises, and never promised anyone.
With a long sigh, Babel said, "Whatever you want, you are at ease." ”
This time, Zhu Zhen nodded.
