The Hanbi Mountain House was bigger than she had imagined, and there seemed to be a courtyard on the east side of the bamboo forest, and she saw a few fiery pomegranate flowers poking out from behind the flower wall.

Don't know who lives there?

Zhou Shaojin had no intention of peeking into the long room, she turned around and walked along the path in the bamboo forest to the upper room.

Who knows what to look around, in addition to bamboo or bamboo, the cobblestone-paved paths lead in all directions, and I don't know which road faces south and which road faces north, and the scene I see is not different, all are the same.

She's lost!

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but sweat profusely, and buried his head in search for a while, but he still didn't see any other colors.

Find another quarter of an hour.

If you still don't get anything, you have to give up your face and shout for help!

She gritted her teeth and chose what seemed to be an east-facing path.

The trail twists and turns, as if there is no end. In the bamboo forest in the shade of greenery, the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves in the ears is silent.

Zhou Shaojin's hands were full of sweat.

How big is this bamboo forest?

Why did she never know that there was such a big bamboo forest on this side of the long house?

How long is it before you get out?

Is she going farther and farther? Or is it getting closer?

Zhou Shaojin was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

She tried to shout "Hey".

A slightly frightened voice echoed through the bamboo forest, but it only startled a few unknown birds fluttering over her head.

There is a three-way intersection ahead.

Do you want to keep moving forward or to the left? Or to the right?

Zhou Shaojin stood there undecided, tiptoed and looked,

The bamboo forest on the right is faintly revealing a piece of pink and white wall and half a large red ice cracked and soft yellow silk window lattice.

The window lattices of the Hanbi Mountain House are all bright red, with ice cracks and a tender yellow silk veil.

She was overjoyed, and as she hurried towards that side with her skirt in her hand, she asked in a loud voice, "Is there anyone?" ”

Suddenly, someone came out from behind her and covered her mouth.

Zhou Shaojin screamed in fright, punching and kicking.

"Don't scream, don't scream!" Someone walked towards her, dressed in brocade, with a face like a crown of jade, tall and handsome, and a clear voice, "I'm not a bad person!" I was just passing by the bamboo forest. Don't scream, I'll let Da Su let you go! ”

Zhou Shaojin was like being struck by lightning.

How could she suddenly meet him?

Shouldn't he have gone to school in ethnology at this time?

Where the hell is she?

Zhou Shaojin trembled, as if he had crashed into an ice cave.

And the person who covered her mouth saw that she was no longer struggling, and first tentatively and slowly let go of his hand, and when he saw that she was not moving, he let go of him completely.

Only then did Cheng Xu see Zhou Shaojin's appearance clearly.

He let out a "huh" with a surprised face, and said in amazement: "I don't know which room my sister is from?" I'm Cheng Xu of the Long House. This is the Hanbi Mountain House, the place where my grandmother cultivated. I don't know what my sister is called? How come I haven't seen ...... before"

Zhou Shaojin couldn't say a word.

It hurt in the cracks of her bones.

Although she decided that when she saw Cheng Xu again, she must smile and say hello as if nothing had happened, but when she saw Cheng Xu again, she couldn't do anything, and Cheng Xu's gaze at her made her feel creepy and instinctively wanted to escape.

Cheng Xu saw that her face was pale, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and after throwing a reproachful glance at his entourage Da Su, he said to Zhou Shaojin with a smile: "Sister, did it scare you?" It's all my fault. I didn't expect someone to pop up in the bamboo forest suddenly. I'm here to accompany my sister. As he spoke, he said to Zhou Shaojin, "Sister, don't be angry!" ”

Zhou Shaojin was so frightened that she took a few steps back, until there was a sound of branches breaking under her feet, which made her come back to her senses.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!

Nothing happened!

I will definitely be able to save the Cheng family!

She kept comforting herself, hurriedly said, "I'm just passing through the bamboo forest," and ran to the path to the right, without even asking for the way.

"Hey!" Cheng Xu shouted at her back, "Take the small scene in the middle, and the corner is the back door of the upper room." ”

Zhou Shaojin's footsteps were sluggish, and after thinking about it, he finally chose the middle path.

Cheng Xu looked at it and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

After walking less than a shot, Zhou Shaojin really saw a corner, which was the back door of the upper room, and there were bamboos planted around it.

Zhou Shaojin didn't dare to walk around, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A woman wearing a hydrangea head flower answered the door, and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw her.

Zhou Shaojin embarrassedly explained his situation.

The woman immediately opened the door and welcomed her in, and said with a smile as she walked: "Second Miss, you are not the first person to get lost in the bamboo forest, Miss Sheng has also been lost in the bamboo forest in the past. When Mrs. found out, she also said that she would plant a few trees in the bamboo forest, and if anyone got lost in the bamboo forest, they could walk in the direction of the trees and get out of the bamboo forest......

Zhou Shaojin thanked her gratefully, afraid that her appearance would alarm Mrs. Guo, so she asked her in a low voice if she could help her find a secluded place to clean her face: "I'll go and say goodbye to the old lady later." ”

"What's so hard about that?" The mother-in-law was very enthusiastic and led her to a tea room, and said, "In the past, Miss Sheng was playing crazy outside and didn't dare to let the old lady know, so she cleaned her hands and face here...... I'll look for it, there should still be a copper basin and fragrant pancreas used by Miss Sheng......" and said, "I'm careless, I'm afraid that it will hurt the second lady's face." Where is your maid? I'm going to whisper to her and serve you! ”

When the mother-in-law said this, she reminded Zhou Shaojin.

She hurriedly said: "I'm not as squeamish as my grandmother said, it's just that my maid Shi Xiang is still waiting for me outside, in case she doesn't see me yelling, it will be troublesome." Please go and bring me a letter for me. ”

The mother-in-law smiled and responded "okay", and brought hot water in, but after a bowl of effort, she folded back with Shi Xiang.

Shi Xiang was startled when she looked at Zhou Shaojin's messy clothes.

Zhou Shaojin told her what happened without waiting for her to ask, and as for the encounter with Cheng Xu, she ignored it.

Shi Xiang couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and said, "Fortunately, the old lady is still talking to the chief steward over there." ”

This is also considered to be a thrill!

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but be a little happy.

After the two of them freshened up in the ear room, they were instructed by the woman to go out of the upper room through the back door.

After a while, Old Madam Guo sent Qin Shou, the chief manager of the long house, out of the appointment.

Zhou Shaojin was afraid that he would meet Cheng Xu again, so he hurriedly went in to bid farewell to Mrs. Guo.

It's just that she is anxious and others are not in a hurry - Mrs. Guo pulled her and asked her about copying scriptures for a long time.

Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to answer patiently one by one.

It's just that before Mrs. Guo finished asking, Jade walked in with a smile: "Old lady, uncle is here." ”

Old Madam Guo was very surprised, and then she rejoiced, and said, "Why didn't he come to me at this time?" Then he instructed Biyu, "He likes to eat orange cakes the most, you can put some orange cakes that the eldest master brought back to me from the capital a few days ago...... The candied fruit of the golden silk dates should also be filled with some ...... And the hemp candy...... Make a pot of big red robes. This kid, I heard Ju Mei say that he is a little cold these days, don't take those green tea......"

Jasper smiled and said "yes" and turned to prepare refreshments.

Zhou Shaojin was uncomfortable, and he was about to say goodbye when he got up.

Mrs. Guo pulled her: "It's your cousin Xu." In the future, when you copy scriptures in the long room, you must not touch him. He added, "Although he is the temperament of a demon king of the mixed world, he is the most patient with his sisters, so you don't have to be afraid." ”

Zhou Shaojin wanted to leave at this time, where could he hear what Mrs. Guo said. But before she could speak, the curtain was lifted, and Pearl had already served Cheng Xu and walked in.

"Grandmother!" He respectfully saluted Mrs. Guo.

Old Madam Guo looked at him, with a smile in the depths of her eyes. After he finished his salute, he introduced Zhou Shaojin to him: "The second lady of the four-room aunt's family, the cousin of the Zhou family." ”

He stepped forward to salute Zhou Shaojin and saluted Zhou Shaojin with a smile.

Zhou Shaojin returned the salute indifferently, but when he looked up, he saw Cheng Xu, who was facing away from Mrs. Guo, winking at her proudly.

She didn't know what Cheng Xu was proud of, she just felt that his smile was a little dazzling, and she frowned without noticing, and then said goodbye to Mrs. Guo again, and said: "It's getting late, I'm coming for the first day, I'm afraid that my grandmother will ask me, so I'll go back first!" ”

Mrs. Guo didn't keep her and asked Biyu to send her.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly walked out of the Hanbi Mountain House, and it was not until he stepped on the pebble road to the fourth room that his mind calmed down.

Shi Xiang recalled the meeting with Cheng Xu just now: "...... No wonder others say that Mrs. Guo's favorite is Uncle Xu, you look at Mrs. Guo just now when she looks at Uncle Xu, she can't wait to hold it in her hand for fear of falling, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth. What's even more rare is that Uncle Xu is not pampered...... Cuihuan's brother was on duty at the main gate, saying that Uncle Xu never came back until the third watch in the middle of the night, and if he went out, he would definitely bring special products to reward them. Those servants all sharpened their heads and wanted to go to Liangyixuan on an errand......"

Zhou Shaojin only felt upset when he heard this, and said angrily: "What is there to say about other people's affairs? If you want to be idle, you can help me and my sister make a dozen or twenty strings from tomorrow, and when the Dragon Boat Festival arrives, it will be time to put a purse and give it away. ”

Shi Xiang was reprimanded for no reason, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Suddenly there was a "flutter" laugh from the side of the road.

Zhou Shaojin listened to a man's voice, and the experience of her previous life came to mind - if it weren't for the fact that the Cheng family had always been very strict, she had never met a foreign man in the inner courtyard in the Cheng family for more than ten years, how could she follow Cheng Ji to the garden alone without warning.

She suddenly looked tense, tightly grabbed Xiang Shi's arm, and shouted "Who is it" vigilantly.

Cheng Xu walked out of the woods next to him, followed by his five-short figure and purple face to follow Da Su.

"My sister looks well-behaved and sensible in front of her grandmother, who knows that she is carrying her grandmother behind her back but arranging others!" He looked at Zhou Shaojin with a smile, his eyes were as bright as the bright sunshine in summer, "For the sake of me and my sister having the same fate, I will kindly help my sister hide it." ”

Sister and sister, it turns out that he is a frivolous person!

Zhou Shaojin didn't bother to look at him, turned around and left.

Cheng Xu smiled behind her: "Isn't my sister afraid that your grandmother will know that you are lost in the bamboo forest?" ”

The tone is quite stirring.
