Huayue Xuan is hidden in the night, and the candlelight is like a star guiding the way.
Zhou Heng came in lightly over the wall, glanced at the east wing, smiled on his lips, and passed through the flowers and trees in the courtyard like light smoke, and came to the low-hanging Xiangfei curtain.
Cui Keyin was wearing a Haitang flower hibiscus camellia gardenia dark pattern gown, a Hunan skirt embroidered with dark green honeysuckle green pattern skirt on a bamboo green background, and read a book on the big pillow. The white-like slender hand turned a page of the book, and Zhou Heng seemed to hear the sound of the page turning.
The candlelight shone on her face and hands, and her almost white skin seemed to be stained with rouge.
Zhou Heng swallowed his saliva and coughed lightly.
Cui Keyin quickly raised her head and followed the prestige.
Zhou Heng lifted the curtain and entered, and said with a dry smile: "You have good ears." ”
Cui Keyin put down the book and got up to salute, and said, "The prince has worked hard all the way. ”
"Hurry up." Zhou Heng stretched out his arm to help, Cui Keyin had already gotten up, took two steps back, turned around and made tea, and said: "Galloping all the way, I don't care about my body, what should I do if I am tired?" ”
The strange tone, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, ironed out the fatigue of Zhou Heng's body.
Zhou Heng "hee-hee" smirked.
The two sat down, and Zhou Heng talked about what he had seen and heard in Qinghe, and said, "...... Your cousins and cousins are really nice to you, they are polite to me on the surface, but they always look at me, but if I make the slightest mistake, they will not miss it. ”
Cui Keyin pursed her lips and smiled, "They don't know that you can pretend to be a ghost, and they think that they can see through you by having more contact with you." ”
Cui Zhenduan has taken care of the Cui family's chores over the years. All kinds of people have seen a lot, and their vision is not poisonous. But. Zhou Heng has been hovering on the edge of life and death since he was a child, in order to survive. All kinds of camouflage methods emerge in an endless stream, where is what Cui Zhenduan, a son like Cui Zhenduan, who has been regarded as a successor since childhood, can imagine?
Zhou Heng pouted and said, "How can I say that I can be weird?" I didn't do anything. ”
Cui Keyin just smiled, looking at him with a look of "you just pretend".
Zhou Heng was defeated and said, "I didn't do it/fake, but I was kind and amiable." ”
In the end, I still admit that I painted a protective color.
Cui Keyin despises.
Zhou Heng said: "Can you bear to see your grandmother insist on refusing this family business, our Lao Yan will fly apart, and your eldest uncle will be demoted from the court?" ”
I have to say that these days, Cui Keyin has been worried. has been planning, if it really comes to this point, what to do, what can be done. Until now, however, no way has been found to have the best of both worlds.
"You are not allowed to pretend to be a ghost in front of me in the future." Cui Keyin raised her face, half warning and half joking.
Zhou Heng said: "We are husband and wife, and we want to live together for a lifetime." Pretending to be in front of you for a lifetime, am I tired? ”
Cui Keyin stopped talking. Just keep your head down and smile.
Zhou Heng smiled, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang wants to hold our wedding at the end of the year, but your eldest uncle won't agree." I have to wait until you reach him. ”
Cui Keyin said: "Big family, who will get married in two or three months?" Even if it is to prepare, it will take a year. ”
Zhou Heng smelled a faint fragrance in his nose. The heart is swaying, and the voice is unconsciously warm/ambiguous. said: "What's there, no matter how tight the time is." The Ministry of Rites will prepare for the stop. You live in the capital, and you don't have time to organize, even if the dowry is simpler, it's nothing. ”
The daughters of the prestigious families usually wear ten miles of red makeup, Cui Keyin is young and weak, and Zhou Hengyuan didn't expect her to have much dowry. Since the two of them set a life, Zhou Heng withdrew the people who were guarding the gate of Xinglin Hutong, he didn't know that Cui Keyin opened a silver building at a young age, and he was very good at making money.
Cui Keyin leaned on the big pillow and said proudly: "Who said that my dowry is shabby? My grandmother loves me like a pearl, how could she hastily marry me? The marriage date is so urgent, don't say that the eldest uncle does not agree, even the grandmother will not agree. ”
Zhou Heng hurriedly explained: "Aren't I afraid that there will be many dreams at night, and something will happen?" What's the matter with your dowry, even if you can't prepare for it for a while, I will quietly buy you some grange shops, that is. ”
Speaking of which, I just want to get the wedding done early.
Cui Keyin looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't you want to wait even a year?" ”
She'll be in August next year. Cui Zhenyi insisted that the wedding would not be held until the end of next year, until Emperor An summoned Qintianjian to Kunning Palace, and chose the auspicious day of the ninth day of the ninth month of September. Qin Tianjian will not only look at the stars, but also look at the face, as soon as he enters the door, he will understand the meaning of Emperor An, and insist that this day next year is the best auspicious day and cannot be missed.
Cui Zhenyi had no choice but to agree.
In this way, it is a foregone conclusion that the wedding will be held next year.
Zhou Heng categorically denied: "Naturally not." Then he changed the subject: "I brought some Qinghe specialties, and someone will send them to you tomorrow." ”
The corners of Cui Keyin's mouth turned up, this person is really clever.
The closed courtyard door was slammed, and the little maid went to answer the door, and then Lu Ying walked out and saluted, "I've seen Madame." ”
But it was Jiang who came.
The two people in the room glanced at each other, and it was obviously too late to go out over the wall at this time. As soon as Cui Keyin turned his head, Zhou Heng had already taken the first step to hide behind the screen.
Jiang ignored Lu Ying and walked straight to the east wing.
Zhou Henggang hid behind the screen, and Jiang also stepped into the door.
Cui Keyin got up casually.
Behind Jiang's family, with a green and white face, he gestured to Cui Keyin.
"Your eldest uncle wrote back to Qinghe, I thought, I don't know what you're doing, so come and see." Jiang Shi said, and sat down in the place where Zhou Heng had sat just now, the seat was warm, but she was preoccupied and didn't think much about it.
Cui Keyin saluted and said, "Auntie is not happy? ”
Jiang sighed: "No, I didn't expect your family affair to be settled like this." Your uncle and I were going to marry you first and keep you for a few more years. That's what your grandmother meant. It's good now, you're going to get married next year. ”
is married to someone that the couple doesn't like, and I feel aggrieved when I think about it.
Cui Keyin comforted: "Fortunately, they are all in the capital, and it is easy to meet." He added: "I want to take my grandmother to live for a while, or I will go back to Qinghe to accompany my grandmother, and then return to the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival next year." ”
Zhou Heng was in a bad situation, and brought Mrs. Zhang to the capital, Cui Keyin was worried that her grandmother would be worried. But she couldn't bear her grandmother. It is best to serve the knees before getting married and fulfill filial piety.
Jiang didn't expect this, was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with your eldest uncle." ”
She said to go, and suddenly walked out of the east wing.
Silence returned to Hua Yuexuan.
Zhou Heng walked out from behind the screen and said, "It's better to take my grandmother to the capital, and we will serve together." ”
He had a very good impression of Mrs. Zhang, and besides, she raised Cui Keyin again, and it was impossible for Zhou Heng not to respect her.
Cui Keyin sighed: "I don't know how worried she is about me." ”
Zhou Heng stood behind her, stretched out his hand several times to take her into his arms, but his hand almost touched Cui Keyin's shoulder, and then retracted. (To be continued......)
