47 Tranquil and distant
Taohuawu is much larger than Tiansu Pavilion, and it also lives up to its name. Although it is the height of summer, there are still peach trees full of peach blossoms, and the peach blossoms are dying, scorching, and dyeing most of the peach blossom docks red.
The green bamboo house, the eaves corner is upturned, the peach tree surrounds the whole green bamboo house, under the eaves of the corridor hangs flower vines, wrapped around the eaves beams, purple petals are finely broken and scattered, spread into a light purple ground.
Xiao Zixu was sitting under the eaves of the verandah covered with purple flowers, his crimson robe hanging loosely on his body, and the collar was wide open, revealing a piece of wheat skin and delicate collarbones. The crow hair is spread out and untied, alternating with the crimson color, there are a few strands sticking to the bare skin on the chest, the phoenix eyes are slightly constricted, and the corners of the lips are covered with peach blossoms, which is pleasant.
Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Zixu opened his eyes and said with a smile, "My sister came to pick up your little girl?" ”
"That girl, I saw that the third brother was well trained, so I stayed here first."
"It's fine." Xiao Zixu snapped his fingers, but his eyes lingered on her, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Xiao Zhisu sat on the bamboo chair in the corridor, picked up Xiaobai and sat on her lap, and said bluntly, "This is Xiaobai, Xiao Zibai." ”
Xiao Zibai? Xiao Zixu's brows tightened, and his lips were a little more playful. Qi Er sat upright, carefully looked at Xiaobai, the wind surged in the phoenix eyes, and finally fixed on Xiao Zhisu's indifferent face, and said seriously, "Susu, don't tell me this is your son, my nephew?" ”
With a smack of him, Xiao Zhisu was about to open his mouth to scold him, but he didn't want Xiaobai to rush to say first, "Don't let you talk nonsense, this is my sister!" ”
Xiao Zhisu rubbed the top of Xiaobai's head, and said with a smile, "Xiao Zixu, in terms of seniority, Xiaobai can't be my son, I'm really confused about you!" ”
"It's not your son, how can he look so much like you when you were a child......" Touching his nose awkwardly, Xiao Zixu smiled, and was about to speak, but he was suddenly stunned, his eyes slightly constricted, "He...... Could it be...... Sanbo's ...... Son? ”
Xiao Zhisu bowed her head and sat upright, "In addition to entrusting Xiaobai to you, I also asked the third brother for a favor." ”
"You say."
"Thoroughly investigate everything that had to do with my mother's relatives back then."
Although Mama Lin is powerful, but after all, she is not defeated by Xiao Zixu's power in Xiao Mansion, although he is shameful in business, but it has also really improved the daily behavior of the entire Xiao Mansion, and with his help, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
After settling Xiaobai in Taohuawu, Xiao Zhisu can be regarded as a matter of concern. Although it was only a short day of getting along, and then parting made Xiao Zhisu a little reluctant, if it weren't for Zi Yu Qingli persuading her to come and see every day, Xiao Zixu also repeatedly promised to take good care of Xiaobai, she would have taken Xiaobai away directly regardless of other trivial things.
The most important thing is because of what Zhuohua said. Before Xiaobai was right, he had to do it for his safety. According to what the nurse said, Xiaobai is too similar to his appearance when he was a child, and some of the slaves in the lower room are vague about his appearance when he was young, but if he meets Xue Shiyan or someone close to him, he will be able to recognize it. Even Xiao Zixu, they hadn't seen each other for nearly six years, he could see that he was similar to himself, and at that time, staying in Tiansu Pavilion would be the real trouble.
As soon as she got out of Taohuawu, Xiao Zhisu stopped and looked in the southeast direction, Zhuohua followed her side, followed her gaze, her eyes were dark, and she bowed her head and was silent.
The heel of the soft-soled azure satin embroidered shoes turned, Xiao Zhisu walked away with the cold ink fragrance, and turned her head to Zhuohua and said, "Zhuohua, does the eldest prince have any favorite on weekdays?" ”
Xiao Zhisu heard Xie Yingqiao say that Zhuohua had to go to Zhiyuan Pavilion to serve when she was young, although she didn't know the reason, but because Zhuohua was a girl next to her aunt, she would know something and ask casually.
Zhuohua's hand clenched the sleeve tightly, and he breathed steadily, "The slave doesn't know." ”
Qingli, who had been following her side, was rarely well-behaved, looked thoughtfully at Zhuohua's whitened fingertips, and then pulled Zihua's sleeve, Nunu's mouth hinted that she looked at Zhuohua.
Zi Wei shook his head at her, raised his index finger and lightly 'shh
However, Xiao Zhisu, who had been walking towards Zhiyuan Pavilion by herself, did not notice the abnormality of the three of them, stopped in front of a three-story small building, shook her head and sighed, "Big brother must be an extremely boring person, this Zhiyuan Pavilion is really quiet and far-reaching!" ”
Zhiyuan Pavilion is not as good as the paradise of Taohuawu, nor is it as quiet and beautiful as Tiansu Pavilion, it is just a one-story attic surrounded by ordinary fences, and a vegetable field has been reclaimed in the northwest corner of the courtyard.
It's boring, but the scenery here is still Xiao Zhisu stopped and watched for a moment.
There are no servants in the Zhiyuan Pavilion, which makes Xiao Zhisu have a long eye. She lifted her skirt up the stairs and stepped into the main hall to find it empty. Turning around the six-fan openwork carved incense wood screen, every step up the stairs made a rough sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent attic.
Zhuohua and a few people followed, and Zi Yu asked softly, "Is it okay for the girl to go up like this?" Wouldn't it be too abrupt. ”
Zhuohua on the side subconsciously replied, "It's okay, the eldest prince likes to be quiet, he doesn't like complicated rules, and ordinary people don't dare to break into Zhiyuan Pavilion." ”
The implication is that the people who come to Zhiyuan Pavilion are all sons and girls, and they will not disturb Xiao Zizheng's cultivation place casually if they have nothing to do.
Seeing Xiao Zhisu turning around like a headless fly for a while, Zhuo Hua pondered for a while, and said, "Girl, the eldest prince should be in the study at this time." ”
Xiao Zhisu shook her head when she heard this, "Where is the study?" ”
"The east corner mahogany ladder goes up to the third room on the left." Zhuohua was slightly stunned after answering, and raised his eyes to see that Xiao Zhisu just nodded and walked towards the east corner, his heart was relieved, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a wry smile.
"Big brother, is it more appropriate to add three or two plum blossoms here?"
Xiao Zhisu, who had just found the study, was stagnant, and she didn't expect Xiao Zhiyan to be in Zhiyuan Pavilion, and listening to her tone, it seemed that she had a good relationship with Xiao Zizheng.
On the bookcase, Xiao Zizheng, who was leaning over to observe Xiao Zhiyan's picture scroll, was wearing a light blue brocade robe, with sleeves and dark blue piping. The black blue thread at the placket is embroidered with three taels of Mo Lan, which is reflected on the light blue robe, which is unique and elegant. The blue ribbon is loosely tied, and there are two strands of crow hair hanging down with the bowing of the head, which is even more handsome and handsome as jade.
