In the dark night, a pretty maid played a lantern. The dim light fell silently on the girl's beautiful face.

Gentle and quiet, with soft eyebrows, beautiful like an ink painting.

Chen Yuanzhao subconsciously glanced at Xu Jinyu more.

Since receiving the news from Zhou Yong that night, he finally knew that he had misunderstood Xu Jinyu all along, and every time he thought of her, he would have an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.

This strange feeling cannot even be described in words. It's as if in the world of black and white, there is suddenly a touch of bright color. It seems to be a desert in the world, and there is a clear spring

Wait, what a sour adjective that's all this!

Chen Yuanzhao frowned, a little dissatisfied with his cranky thoughts.

Xu Jinyu had already stepped forward not to misunderstand, she walked in front of Xu Zheng, and didn't even look at him: "Big brother, why did the banquet break up so late?" ”

Xu Zheng smiled helplessly: "The prince of Qin and General Chen's wine are extremely high, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Qin getting drunk, I'm afraid it wouldn't be over." After a pause, he blamed again: "It's so late, why didn't you rest earlier, why did you come here." Didn't I tell you before I came not to wait for me? ”

The tone was full of intimacy and distress.

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled: "You haven't gone back for a long time, I'm thinking about you in my heart, where can I still sleep." I'm just going to wait for you. I didn't have to wait long, at most I waited for a cup of tea. ”

Xu Zheng didn't believe it and asked Chu Xia: "How long have you been here with Miss?" ”

Chu Xia responded with a smile: "Young master, don't embarrass the slave." The lady said that it was a tea time, of course, it was a cup of tea. There is no half an hour. ”

Xu Jinyu: ""

Xu Jinyu was angry and funny, and turned her head to glare at Chu Xia: "Okay, is this how you treat your master?" When you go back, see how I punish you! ”

Such a painless threat, I don't know how many times I heard it in the early summer from childhood to adulthood, but I didn't take it to heart at all, and told me meaningfully: "Miss spare your life, the slave will never dare to do it again." ”

Xu Jinyu had no choice but to explain to Xu Zheng with a smile: "It didn't take long for me to really come." Early summer is deliberately naughty, don't listen to her nonsense. ”

Xu Zheng's heart was warm, but he deliberately made a straight face: "Forget it this time." Not an example! ”

Xu Jinyu couldn't rest assured, so he went to wait for him outside Qianyunju. Why isn't he worried about Xu Jinyu? That King Qin likes men and has a bunch of beautiful concubines, and he is simply a womanizer who eats both men and women. Xu Jinyu was born so beautiful, what if King Qin moved his mind?

Xu Jinyu obediently agreed

The two brothers and sisters were talking and laughing, completely ignoring that there was another person beside them.

Chen Yuanzhao, who had never been ignored so thoroughly, felt inexplicable anger in his heart. He is not air, and it is impossible for Xu Jinyu not to see him. I haven't looked at him until now, nor have I talked to him, obviously deliberately hanging him!

On weekdays, Chen Yuanzhao is nine times out of ten and walks away with a straight face. But after getting drunk

"Xu Jinyu, didn't you see that I was also there?" Chen Yuanzhao's tone was dissatisfied, and his eyes were much brighter than usual: "Why don't you look at me?" ”

Xu Jinyu: ""

She did mean to hang him, yes! However, with Chen Yuanzhao's temperament, shouldn't he maintain a cold temperament with an expressionless face? This aggressive look is too childish.

Without waiting for Xu Jinyu to open his mouth, Xu Zheng frowned and said coldly: "There is a difference between men and women, and the housemate is not looking at you squarely, which is the behavior of keeping etiquette." I wonder what General Chen's dissatisfaction is? ”

Chen Yuanzhao glanced at Xu Zheng: "I'm talking to Xu Jinyu, when will it be your turn to interject." ”

Xu Zheng: ""

Xu Zheng was furious, and replied with a smile: "General Chen has probably been in the army for a long time, and it has become a habit to order his subordinates. Unfortunately, I am not your subordinate, and I don't need to listen to you. It's so late, and I ask the general to go back to the barracks or to the Anguo Mansion early. My sister and I don't have much to do with you. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Jinyu: "Sister, follow me back to Yinyan Pavilion." ”

"Wait," Chen Yuanzhao said lightly, "I have something to say to her." ”

Xu Zheng sneered and responded unceremoniously: "General Chen is too self-righteous!" Do you have something to ask, and my sister must not be able to listen to it? ”

Chen Yuanzhao furrowed his brows unhappily: "Xu Zheng, don't go too far!" I have something to ask Xu Jinyu, but I don't want to ask you. Why do you ramble on and on. ”

"My sister's affairs, of course I, as a brother, have the right to intervene." Xu Zheng didn't give in for half a step: "It's already late at night, I'll ask if you have anything to say later." ”

Chen Yuanzhao snorted coldly: "Why wait for the future, I have to ask now!" ”

It turned out that Chen Yuanzhao drank too much wine and looked like this!

His eyes were unusually bright, and he looked sober, but he was actually drunk, and he talked several times more than usual. Some are childish, some are unreasonable and some are cute.

Xu Jinyu was both surprised and a little funny, but she was not annoyed by the abrupt and reckless. first glanced at Xu Zheng appeasefully, and then looked at Chen Yuanzhao: "I don't know if General Chen has something to ask me?" ”

Looked at by those bright eyes, Chen Yuanzhao's heart throbbed inexplicably, his mind was blank, and he responded completely reflexively: "I wanted to ask you something just now, but now I forgot it." ”

Wait, what did he just say? Why are you so stupid?! Chen Yuanzhao reacted quickly, and almost bit off his tongue in annoyance.

Xu Jinyu was stunned, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

That smile is like a breeze in a summer night, quietly blowing into my heart. It also touched his heart that was as cold as iron for more than 20 years.

This soft and warm feeling is so strange and strange!

Chen Yuanzhao couldn't help but frown again.

He was tall and handsome, with a cold countenance, and his brow was furrowed enough to scare a crying child. Xu Zheng suddenly had a misunderstanding, and said unhappily: "General Chen, do you have anything important to ask?" If you want to ask, please ask quickly, don't waste time. ”

That fierce look, will it make people have nightmares after watching it for a long time?

Chen Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows impatiently: "I have something to ask her alone, you go back first." ”

Alone? Dream!

Xu Zheng refused neatly: "In the middle of the night, the melon field and Li Xia should avoid suspicion." I'm not going to leave you alone with my sister. If you don't ask, forget it. ”

Chen Yuanzhao frowned and looked at Xu Zheng fixedly.

Xu Zheng looked back coldly.

Xu Jinyu felt both funny and a little helpless. How did the two of them get together, they would have an argument. Fortunately, there are not many opportunities to meet, otherwise it would be enough for people to have a headache every time.

Chen Yuanzhao saw that Xu Zheng refused to back down, so he simply looked at Xu Jinyu: "I want to ask about you, it has something to do with your aunt and Ji Ze." Are you sure it doesn't hurt for your brother to hear these words? ”

Xu Jinyu smiled, and her heart was uncertain. What did Chen Yuanzhao know?

Xu Zheng heard that something was wrong and looked at it suspiciously.

What's going on between Xu Jinyu and Chen Yuanzhao? Obviously there is no love between men and women, but they always talk alone in private. It's as if there's some secret that no one knows.

But they have only been in the capital for half a year, and Xu Jinyu knows it very well every time he goes out. I haven't seen Chen Yuanzhao a few times combined

Xu Jinyu weighed it slightly, and quickly made a decision: "Big brother, you go back first for the time being!" General Chen asked me if he had something to say, and I replied quickly. ”

Xu Zheng was obviously reluctant: "But this is not in line with etiquette." And he couldn't rest assured.

"Big brother," there was a hint of pleading in Xu Jinyu's eyes: "I'm begging you." ”

Xu Zheng has never been able to refuse Xu Jinyu's request, and this time is no exception. Of course, Xu Zheng was reluctant to blame his sister, so his anger poured out on Chen Yuanzhao.

Xu Zheng glared at Chen Yuanzhao fiercely, half warning and half threatening: "This is the last time." I don't want to talk to her in private again. ”

After speaking, he earnestly told Xu Jinyu: "Let Chu Xia stand aside and guard, if he has any bad behavior or says something inappropriate, he will immediately call someone loudly." The housekeepers and guards patrolling the house are not far away, and they will rush over immediately. ”

Chen Yuanzhao: ""

Xu Jinyu was also a little crying and laughing: "Big brother, where do you want to go." General Chen is such a despicable villain. Chen Yuanzhao may be indifferent and arrogant, but he will never do anything bad to tease women.

That's right, too! Chen Yuanzhao suffers from a "hidden disease" and has never been close to women, so he shouldn't make any inappropriate moves.

Thinking about it like this, Xu Zheng was finally relieved, glared at Chen Yuanzhao again, and left

As soon as Xu Zheng left, he also retreated a little in early summer, guarding the intersection vigilantly looking around to let go of the wind.

Xu Jinyu looked up at Chen Yuanzhao: "What do you have to ask me, you can always say it now!" ”

Chen Yuanzhao looked at Xu Jinyu steadily, but his words were not right: "The relationship between you and Xu Zheng seems to be very good." The affection between this brother and sister far exceeds Chen Yuanzhao's cognition of the word brother and sister.

He and Chen Lingxue basically didn't have anything to say when they met on weekdays. Ji Ze and Ji Yu are better, and they don't meet too often. Far inferior to Xu Jinyu and Xu Zheng.

That kind of intimacy and friendship, that kind of mutual trust and mutual love. Somehow, he looked at it in his eyes and felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable.

Xu Jinyu was a little surprised, obviously didn't expect Chen Yuanzhao to suddenly pop out of such a sentence, and subconsciously responded: "Yes, my eldest brother and I are only two years apart, and we have had a deep relationship since we were children. My eldest brother takes care of me everywhere and protects me, and he will let me do anything. I'm the same with my big brother. The most important person in this world to me is my big brother. After thinking about it, he added: "And my mother." ”

When Chen Yuanzhao heard this, his face didn't seem to look good. R1152
