Chapter 55: Appeal (1)
I received Zhang Shaoqing's letter early in the morning, and made an appointment to go to the old rain villa on the outskirts of the city to meet today. The sky was slightly bright, and Yin Suwen packed up early and set off with Nanzhu.
The little letter was solemnly locked in the brocade box by Yin Suwen before leaving. The handwriting on the letter was Zhang Shaoqing's own handwriting, but the paper used was pink peach blossom smoked paper that is difficult to find in the world. Originally, it was just a whim of Yin Suwen when he was young, and a method of smoking paper that he created was only used when writing thoughts with Zhang Shaoqing. Unexpectedly, many years later, the man who rarely replied would carefully prepare such a paper to flirt with him.
Jiuyu Villa is one of Zhang Shaoqing's private properties, because of its remote location, clean and convenient transportation, it has become the place he goes to most often. A few years ago, Yin Suwen also came to this place occasionally, and now he meets here again, it must be to avoid the inconvenience of her entering and leaving Zhang's mansion, and he is always careful.
Nanzhu on the carriage was talking to Yin Suwen while taking the embroidery screen to trace the embroidery pattern for her. However, her mind was not here, and the carriage swayed as unsteady as her mood.
Last night, Master Yin rarely returned home early, and finally took the initiative to meet her and talk about the Zhang family's courtship. As expected, the veto attitude, and unsurprisingly harsh words, although she did not come up with a family law to serve, she still clearly told her that this in-law Yin family would never get married.
Yin Suwen had already thought about that scene thousands of times, and had thought of thousands of clever words, but when he really faced the angry father, there was only endless silence. She did not plead, nor argued, and refused to say a word more than that she said that she would definitely marry this time. Even if Yin Yuan took out her mother-in-law again and threatened her with the consequences of being cut off and removed, she still refused to look back.
thought that it would be the last meeting she would have as the daughter of the Yin family, and the last time she would talk to Yin Yuan, but at the end of the conversation, something unexpected happened. After a long silence between the two, the anger in the air suddenly disappeared, and after a long sigh, Master Yin finally compromised and only said one sentence, "Old Man Yin, the Yin family is resting, if you are willing, let him go." ”
There was still some pain in his knees, it should have been where he knelt numbly last night, Yin Suwen casually rubbed his somewhat red and swollen knees, and suddenly felt sad. Without the overwhelming storm she expected, no whipping and no heavy punishment, the strict and sharp father agreed to his marriage so easily, without any accountability, only a sentence of "Yin Yuanlao". Her father is really old, and when people are old, they will always be soft-hearted.
After a bumpy gravel path, the carriage stopped in front of the lodge. As soon as the car door opened, I saw Zhang Shaoqing smiling slightly, standing under the cloud steps in front of the door, waiting for him, he hadn't seen him for a few days, his demeanor had not diminished, and he still looked like a noble son with a jade tree in the wind. He didn't speak, but a petite man next to him ran towards him.
Zhang Huiyi's water-green clothes are the dress of Jiangnan's youngest daughter, and her peachy cheeks and smiling appearance are particularly eye-catching in this late winter and early spring. ran to Yin Suwen and took her hand and told her about her longing, saying that a good sister was finally here, and she was waiting for her so hard.
Seeing her very cute appearance, Yin Suwen didn't bother her, until Zhang Shaoqing approached, and saw that she finally reluctantly let go and went to play with Nanzhu.
Tie the moon-white cloak in her hand for Yin Suwen, and Zhang Shaoqing gently took her hand and cared for her.
"When it's warm and cold, why do you wear so little? Tired, right? ”
Seeing that she shook her head gently, she looked at Zhang Xuanyi, who was laughing happily on the side, and was embarrassed to complain to her.
"It's rare for Yiyi to come back, and I'm used to her a lot on weekdays, so I have developed a look without rules. Today, I have to follow everything to make trouble, thinking that you will inevitably be bored alone, so I simply asked her to talk to you. ”
"It doesn't matter. She is young, lively, and has fun with Pearl. ”
Hearing that the two were discussing themselves, Zhang Xuanxi made an unhappy grimace at Zhang Shaoqing, and complained to Yin Suwen again.
"Hmph, that's not what my brother said before. He only wanted to be sweet in pairs with his good sister, and he was even against me coming to disturb him, and he really didn't understand my sister's heart at all. ”
was made such a fuss by her, Yin Suwen didn't have any unhappy thoughts. followed Zhang Shaoqing's footsteps all the way, first used a meal, and then came to the back garden of the villa. Zhang Xuanyi came over and said mysteriously that he had prepared a big surprise for her, and then pulled Nanzhu away with a smoke, leaving only the two of them in the pavilion.
"Su Su, look, what is the difference between this garden and the past?"
Yin Suwen has only been to this garden twice, and he has never looked at an ordinary garden carefully, and now he has not seen any big difference after observing it carefully for a long time according to Zhang Shaoqing's request.
"I didn't see any big difference, but I felt that this garden seemed to be much smaller than before, and there were many fewer flowers and plants."
"Don't be in a hurry, take a closer look."
Before the words fell, with Zhang Shaoqing's two high-fives, the rockery barrier opposite the railing was pushed away by several servants, and a sea of red flowers instantly appeared in front of the two.
"Susu, mandala flowers from the Western Regions, see if you like it."
Yin Suwen likes flowers, and when he is alone on weekdays, he also likes to read some classics outside the Central Plains, and is especially interested in the customs and customs of the Western Regions. Now, Zhang Shaoqing specially found the treasure mandala from the Western Regions and transplanted it here, just to want her to be happier.
Those lush mandala flowers seem to be undaunted by the cold, competing to bloom brilliantly in this season, swaying in layers. Waves of petals are swept by the breeze, and at first glance it looks like a sea of bright red, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Just like Yin Suwen, who is plain at this moment, stands quietly in this sea of fragrant flowers, like a pearl in cinnabar agate, which is different and beautiful.
Zhang Shaoqing stretched out his hand to pick one for her, but before he touched the flower stem, she stopped him in time.
"Don't be stupid, this flower is poisonous."
"Don't be afraid, my flowers are not poisonous."
Zhang Shaoqing had a mischievous look on her face, deliberately looking at the nervousness in her eyes, and raised her hand to pick a budding flower to wear on the side of her sideburns.
"My plain is so beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy."
There was a little light in his eyes, and he looked like he saw the peach forest for the first time that year. He was the same, he tied her hair with flowers, smiled and said, "It's so beautiful."
