Chapter 046: The Wind in Late Spring
On the homepage, I strongly recommended the list, thank you to my cherry editor, thank you to all readers
When he returned home, Shen Xizhen immediately opened the letter and looked at it:
"It is said that there are one or two plum blossoms in bloom during the transition between spring and summer, and they are very beautiful, so I want to see them. Three days later, it's your day off, and the day before I'm about to go to the south to run errands, can we go to the plum garden together? β
Hee Zhen smiled and folded the letter and put it in the envelope.
She admired King Qingping's initiative from the bottom of her heart, and when she thought about it, it seemed that he had always taken the initiative to pursue her since she met him, so this time she also wanted to show that she had to take the initiative to bring each other's hearts closer. She knew that this appointment with the plum garden was an excellent opportunity, and she would definitely take advantage of it.
She casually ate a few pieces of dim sum and went into the room to change into men's clothes, said hello to Du Qiniang and Ji Yuelian and went out.
"I don't know what this girl is going to do." Du Qiniang looked at the chic back and muttered. However, seeing that Xizhen was wearing men's clothes, she was not very worried.
Xi Zhen flew all the way to the Nameless Mountain in the sunset, which was the place where she built the agency house, and she had been back for two days, and now she was busy with the important matter at hand, and she had to follow up on this matter.
The nameless mountain surrounded by high mountains is really a good place to retreat, and if outsiders don't pay attention, they won't think that there are people living here, so Xizhen looks at the mountain opposite it, and his heart is quite steady.
"The submerged horizon device will be built soon." Wan Haimo climbed up a wooden ladder from deep underground and said to her.
"Very well, then I'll go down and have a look." Xi Zhen said that he flew straight down.
"Wow, that's such a skill!" Wan Haimo looked at her agile figure and exclaimed.
The 'Submerge Horizon Device' was inspired by a modern basement, but she has created a feature of her own - the entire house can be completely submerged in the ground in case of an emergency, and has an outward projectile mechanism. However, since the equipment of this dynasty was far less advanced than modern ones, it was much more difficult to build.
However, Wan Haimo really lived up to her trust and was able to really make it, so Xizhen felt very satisfied after watching it.
In order to carry out this secretly, more than a dozen other mechanisms were manufactured in Wan Haimer's residence and in a cave at the foot of the Nameless Mountain.
Wan Haimo took Xizhen to look at them one by one.
"Shen Gongzi, sue me, how did you come up with these mechanisms?" Wan Haimo couldn't help but ask. The shock in his heart as he made them according to her drawings was very strong, and he admitted that he was bewitched by the young man with a bit of femininity in front of him.
"Figured it out." Xi Zhen's answer is always so concise.
"I've never seen anyone think about it like that, they have to come from the stimulus of something, right?" Wan Haimo asked again. Because of her ideas, he loves his work even more, as if he has only now seen the broad prospects of this industry, so he wants to cooperate with her for a long time.
"It's nothing special, it's just that you can see more, look carefully, analyze more deeply, and then come up with it. By the way, will this house be built by the beginning of next year? β
"It should be possible, let's try to fight for it." Wan Hai silently looked at the busy workers and said. They are all disciples he carefully brought out, and they are all leaders in this industry. He still has faith in them.
"No, it has to be, don't forget the contract we signed." Xi Zhen said with a stern face.
Wan Haimo loved and respected her, and naturally didn't dare to offend her in his heart, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, we will do what Shen Gongzi says we will do, as long as Shen Gongzi is satisfied!" β
Xizhen smiled and said goodbye to him.
When she got home, it was already night, and when Xi Zhen entered the door, she saw Du Qiniang and Ji Yuelian chatting in the pavilion in the courtyard, so she walked towards them.
"Zhen'er, come over and tell you good news." Seeing Xizhen coming back, Du Qiniang hurriedly beckoned to her.
"What's the good news?" Hee-jin sat down next to them, looked at them and asked curiously.
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant." Du Qiniang said with a smile on her face, and Ji Yuelian lowered her head shyly.
"It's just wonderful! Big brother must be even happier when he finds out. Xizhen excitedly held Ji Yuelian's hand and said.
"I'll write to him." Ji Yuelian said while holding Xizhen's hand.
After chatting for a while, the three of them said, "Mother, three days later will be my rest day, and then I want to go to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms." β
"Okay, recently, Lin Bo, who is in charge of the plum garden, happened to go back to the countryside to visit relatives, you are so busy on weekdays, you can go there and stay quietly."
"Okay." When he heard that Lin Bo, who was in charge of the plum garden, was not there, Xizhen was especially happy in his heart.
The next morning, when Xi Zhen, who had finished teaching the scriptures in the Xiyi Hall, was about to have lunch, he saw Chu Zihou walking in from outside with a smile on his face, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Has King Qingping had lunch?" β
"I've eaten it." He replied while looking around, and saw that Liu Qingniang was busy working two feet away outside, so he immediately leaned close to Xizhen's ear and asked, "Have you agreed to go with me to enjoy the plum blossoms?" β
His warm breath reached her ears, causing her whole body to tremble slightly, and her face suddenly turned red again. He wanted to say, 'You look so good when you blush', but he was afraid of being seen by Liu Qingniang, so he held back.
"Well, but don't come to me these days, you're all busy, after all, this is in the palace, and I haven't passed the door yet, so it's not good for others to see it." She said solemnly.
Seeing her serious appearance, he sat down and said, "Okay, we'll see you in the plum garden in the next three days." β
With that, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and walked out with a smile.
In fact, since returning to the capital, King Qingping wants to stay with Xizhen every day, even if he just looks at each other and doesn't speak, but because they have not yet married each other, and the palace is a place where there are many people, he is embarrassed to always come to see her, so he really understands what it means to be without seeing each other for a day, but he can get together with her after three days, and he is full of energy when he thinks of this.
In this way, he helped Emperor Guangzhao in the court every day, and she deployed the work of the three quarters of summer, autumn and winter with Emperor Guangzhao in the Zichen Palace.
Therefore, those three days passed for them as if they had passed three years.
Finally, three days passed, and finally I was looking forward to a rest day.
Early this morning, Xizhen and Xiang'er went straight to the plum garden in a carriage driven by Agui.
Along the way, Xizhen was thinking back to the last time she came to Plum Garden, which was where she and King Qingping first met, and now she is back after three months, and she is already his fiancΓ©e, and this change makes her feel a lot of emotion.
She lifted the curtain slightly and looked at the scenery of the suburbs, but she felt that the wind was light, the sky was clear and clear, and the sky was as magnificent as that day, and she couldn't help but think of the task she had crossed over to here.
Now it is a small step, but there is still a more difficult road to go, she secretly cheered herself up in her heart.
"Agui, come and pick us up when it gets dark tonight." After getting out of the carriage, Xizhen said to Agui.
"Yes, miss." Ah Gui smiled and took the order, jumped into the carriage and drove away.
Xi Zhen stood at the gate of the plum garden, looking at the word plum garden, imagining the situation of looking at it when the king of Qingping passed by that day, and suddenly felt that all around were like returning to the scene of that day, she silently recalled, and silently longed, and sighed with a complicated mind.
She was fascinated by the brightness and vitality of the spring countryside, and the spring breeze was particularly amorous.
She looked up at the sky, the warm sunlight shining softly on her snow-white face, and she felt that her whole being was about to melt away from its warmth.
In the distance, the king of Qingping rode a horse at a gallop.
Xi Zhen slowly walked into the garden with the piano in his arms.
