85_85256 "Miss, does the old lady know about your appointment with King Qingping in the plum garden tomorrow?" Xiang'er asked timidly.

"I've told her, and she's agreed." Xizhen said with a smile.

Of course she knew Xiang'er's thoughts.

"Oh." Xiang'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the old lady has given permission, she is much more relieved.

Miss already has a marriage contract, and the other party is such a good person, every time I think of this Xiang'er, my heart is full of envy.

She felt that Miss and King Qingping were both treasure-level characters in this world, and they were a match made in heaven, and seeing them together would always make her inexplicably moved, as if she had seen a full moon in the world. But because they have already shown their love for each other, she is always worried that they will have a relationship before they get married. Rail's behavior, but she was also curious about their actions together.

However, she also believed that Miss Yi's character would not let things get out of hand, and Miss was a person who could save herself from falling into a tragic fate no matter what the circumstances.

Therefore, Xiang'er told herself that she just had to do her job, and she didn't have to worry too much about the rest.

As soon as the morning dawned, Xizhen and his party began to set off for the plum garden. Since the location of the Hou Ye's Mansion was a little far away from the Plum Garden, they deliberately set off early.

Xi Zhen was going to stay here with Chu Zihou for a day, so she not only brought enough things, but also piano, chess, and books.

Today, before dawn, she and Chen's mother were making osmanthus cakes and horseshoe cakes in the kitchen, which were Chu Zihou's favorite snacks.

Thinking of the satisfaction on his face when he ate osmanthus cake, Xizhen couldn't help but feel motherly and wanted to take care of him before leaving.

When you arrive at the plum garden, the gardener who takes care of the plum garden comes to open the door.

"Miss. The living room and side rooms have been cleaned up, and the gazebo has been cleaned. The gardener said respectfully to Xizhen.

"Okay, Jingbo, we're going to spend a day in the Plum Garden, but there's nothing you need to do, you can go to the market and buy some wine by the way." Hee Zhen smiled and pulled out a string of money from his pocket and gave it to him.

She knew he liked to have a little drink. And he has a fellow over there in the bazaar. On weekdays, he can't go anywhere because he has to guard the plum garden. Even sometimes when he goes to the market to buy food, he goes and returns quickly, and this time it is just a chance to give him a chance to go out and have a good time.

"Thank you, Miss!" Jingbo happily went out with the silver taels.

Xizhen instructed Xiang'er and Pepper to take the food to the living room, and told them to boil water to make tea.

"I went to the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. If King Qingping arrives, tell him to go directly to the forest to find me. Xi Zhen commanded again.

"Good!" Xiang'er and Pepper said in unison.

Hee-jin smiled and walked deeper into the garden.

There are still more than three plum blossoms in the garden, which are even more red and eye-catching due to their scarcity, and Xizhen stops in front of them to gaze. A strong sense of poetry arose in his heart, and he gently chanted the poem:

Every flower but remembers the hometown plum. The snow hides the cold mountain trail and does not open. Mingyue is sad and similar, and a plain shadow is waiting for people to come. 1

In early spring, the air in the suburbs is as fresh as if it has just been washed by rain, and Xizhen breathes in the air with the fragrance of flowers while slowly walking into the depths of the forest, and the mood is also rare to relax.

Xiang'er was busy with the work at hand. From time to time, he looked up at the place where Xizhen was, but he saw Xizhen standing among the flowers in a pink dress, looking like a flower in full bloom. Xiang'er couldn't help but stand up and look at it a few more times in a daze.

I don't know how ecstatic King Qingping will be when he sees Xizhen at this time! Xiang'er looked at Xizhen's figure and said secretly.

Da-da-da-da. The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer.

All three of them heard it.

Pepper hurriedly strode towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, Chu Zihou, who was dressed in a sky blue robe, was standing at the door.

He had just jumped off his horse. He still holds the reins in his hand.

Pepper helped him tie his horse and took the food basket he had brought.

"Where is Guang'an?" Chu Zihou asked.

"Inside Merlin, she told you to go straight inside to find her." Pepper replied.

"Okay, I'll go straight to her, you go and get busy with yours first." With that, Chu Zihou strode towards the forest.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chu Zihou can't wait to meet the rhythm of joy.

Pepper remembered the last time she saw the two of them hugging and kissing in the back garden of the house, and couldn't help but worry a little that they wouldn't be able to control themselves.

Therefore, Pepper wanted to find a way to get them out of the woods, after all, staying in it for too long would be troublesome if the two of them had a 'love affair'.

But what should be done to appear appropriate? After all, they are their own masters, so they can't bother them openly, right? Pepper is a big person, and after thinking about it for a while, she didn't come up with a way, so she hurriedly ran back to the house to find Xiang'er.

…………………

Every time he came to the plum garden, Chu Zihou would remind him of the beautiful scene when he met Shen Xizhen for the first time. He was full of gratitude to God for knowing her and making a marriage contract.

He patiently searched for her figure in the forest, and when he found it, he suddenly realized that the wind and moon were clear in the sky and on the ground, and the joy and satisfaction of the world were nothing more than that.

But this time he didn't want to hold her tightly in his arms as he did last year, and he longed for a kiss to kiss for the rest of his life, and never to be separated. Now he just wanted to walk over and gently hold her slender hand, and quietly watch the plum blossoms on the branches with her.

Even if you don't say anything, just holding her hand like this is enough.

He walked gently towards her.

"Ah Zhen." He softly called out her name.

Hee-jin turned her head and smiled at him and held out her hand to him.

The two of them just held each other's hands tightly.

Xi Zhen leaned his head lightly on his shoulder, looked at the plum blossoms in the forest, and no one spoke.

…………….

Pepper had seen them kiss, and Xiang'er had seen them, but both of them were loyal to Xizhen, so they never told anyone about it.

Now the two are gathered together like ants in the hot nest to discuss countermeasures, and they have a rare sense of tacit understanding with each other.

"Of course, it's not good to follow at this time, but I'm worried about ......," Pepper said as she looked at Xiang'er, hoping that she could come up with a solution.

"I can't help it." Xiang'er said with a red face.

"What then?" Pepper was a little anxious.

Just when the two of them were anxious, Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen came in from outside holding hands.

"Is the tea ready?" Chu Xihou asked with a smile. Even when he saw Xiang'er and Pepper, he didn't let go of the hand holding Xizhen's hand.

Seeing them come back, Xiang'er and Pepper's hearts suddenly fell to the ground like stones, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, alright." Pepper hurriedly said, and Xiang'er immediately tacitly picked up the teapot and poured tea on the teacup.
