Chapter 258: Follow-up
Gao Zhen is the prince of Guangping, and there is naturally no shortage of people waiting around him.
The girl in his courtyard has undergone a blood exchange, and now she has been trained much more honestly, and Yanyu is a clever one. When Gao Zhen came back with Zhao Xiu, she was in the front hall to tell her mothers-in-law to do things, and when she heard that the prince came back with Miss Zhao, she thought that this thing was also ordinary, so she didn't have to go back to the back hall to wait, so she didn't take it to heart. Who knew that Zhao Xiu was talking to Gao Zhen here, Gao Zhen also lost her temper, the little girl heard the movement, she didn't dare to go up to persuade her, and she didn't dare to pretend that she didn't know anything, so she could only report to her urgently and ask her to get an idea.
Yanyu hurriedly returned to the back hall, and as soon as he entered the east room, he saw Gao Zhen with his back to the person, sitting cross-legged on the kang, staring at the east wall with his eyes silent, Zhao Xiu was bending down to pick up a silver hand stove that fell on the ground, which was the one that Gao Zhen, the son of the world, had been rubbing over and over every day in the past few days. She hurriedly said, "Miss Zhao, don't move, let's come, and burned her hands carefully." ”
Zhao Xiu pursed her lips and smiled at Yanyu. Of course, she won't burn herself, the charcoal in the silver hand stove has fallen out, she just needs to be careful not to touch it, the hand stove itself doesn't matter. When you pick it up, you can use a fire chopstick to put the charcoal back into the charcoal basin, and you're all right. Gao Zhen young man temper, things said to throw away, I don't want to think, this house is a brick and wood structure, the house is all wooden furniture, the kang is all mattress, cotton pads, and there are blankets on the ground, if it weren't for his luck, he didn't knock over the hand stove on the blanket, I'm afraid that it will burn up at this time. There is really no concept of fire protection at all, so what is good for people to say about him?
She was about to pick up the hand stove lid that had fallen three feet away, only to feel that her arm was firmly grabbed and torn away vigorously, so that she couldn't help but cry out in pain, and when she looked back, it was Gao Zhen.
Gao Zhen seemed to be even more angry: "What's the matter with you girl?" Even if you get angry with me, there's no need to hurt yourself, right? That's charcoal! Burning red charcoal! Do you want to touch it with your hand?! What if it burns out?! ”
Zhao Xiu's eyes widened in shock, and he hurriedly explained: "I didn't plan to pick charcoal, all I want to pick is the stove cover." Can hot charcoal also be touched by hand? I'm not stupid. ”
Gao Zhen was stunned, and when he looked at it, the direction in which her hand stretched out seemed to be the place where the stove lid was, but he was wrong, thinking that she was going to pick up the hot charcoal a foot away. He was a little embarrassed, his face turned red, and he unconsciously increased the force in his hand, Zhao Xiu couldn't hold back his scream again, he realized what stupid thing he was doing, hurriedly let go of his hand, looked left and right in a panic, and forced him to find an excuse to blame Zhao Xiu: "What are you going to pick it up again?" Aren't you uncommon? ”
Zhao Xiu rubbed his arm a little aggrievedly: "I'm not rare, it's just because I look at it and feel that it's too precious, so I don't dare to accept it." It's also because it's too dangerous, don't you see that this house is full of wood? There is still a blanket on the ground, and you knock over the stove on the ground, what if the charcoal in it falls on the blanket and burns? Now if everyone sleeps at night, you will be like during the day, and you will get angry when you think of something, and you will throw away the hand stove casually, and it will be troublesome if it really burns. ”
It sounded like he was thinking about his safety, and most of the resentment in Gao Zhen's heart disappeared unconsciously, but he still couldn't get off the stage: "Then you can call the girls to pick it up." You are a guest, so why do you want to do such a thing? When you turn around and tell your father that you know, you will definitely say that I have neglected you, and that I will be scolded for nothing. ”
Zhao Xiu felt that this was just a trivial matter, and no one else was there, so she did it, what was the big deal? However, Gao Zhen still seemed to be angry, and she had better not contradict him in such a senseless matter.
Yanyu took the fire spoon and threw all the charcoal that fell on the ground back into the charcoal basin, then looked left and right, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the prince and Miss Zhao?" What is it for, making a fuss and throwing things and losing your temper? Then he said to Zhao Xiu: "Miss Zhao, don't be angry with our son, you have known each other since childhood, and you should know what kind of temperament our son is, he has never been a person who loses his temper casually, but sometimes he is frizzy and anxious, so he is easy to say something that he doesn't like." There are a lot of girls, don't worry about our sons. If you look at the way he worries about your hot hands, you know that he doesn't really annoy you in his heart. ”
Of course Zhao Xiu knew this, she was actually not angry in her heart, she was more embarrassed, and she was a little at a loss, and she didn't know how to make Gao Zhen happy.
But Gao Zhen was not happy to betray himself: "What nonsense are you talking about? Where am I worried about her? It's our own business, and it's none of your business. Get out, get out! ”
Yanyu was helpless in her heart, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but snicker, and she exchanged a look with Zhao Xiu, and walked out obediently.
Who knew that when she just left the house, she saw Yanxia coming from the Furong Building, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Sister Yanxia here?" ”
Yanxia said with a smile: "The prince heard that the prince had a quarrel with Miss Zhao, and asked me to come and take a look." ”
Zhao Xiu was taken aback when he heard it in the house, and glanced at Gao Zhen, feeling even more embarrassed. How did such a trivial matter alarm King Guangping? Gao Zhen added a little more anger: They are just a mouthful, a little thing, who alarmed his father with many mouths? What if my father misunderstands Sister Zhao?
Yanxia asked Yanyu in a low voice, how did the two little ancestors quarrel inside? Yanyu couldn't tell, but he knew that the two of them were half reconciled now. Yanxia was secretly amused when she heard this, and entered the house and said: "Shizi, the prince heard that you just lost your temper, and asked the slave to tell you, no matter who is right or wrong, what kind of manly husband is angry at the girl?" Besides, he has always known that Miss Zhao is a very sensible and polite girl, and the quarrel was also the first of the son, so it can be seen that this matter must be the fault of the son, so that the son of the world can reflect on it. ”
Gao Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Zhao Xiu depressedly, with all kinds of grievances in his eyes.
Zhao Xiu looked soft, and said to Yanxia: "Good sister, just ...... In fact, I made Shizi angry, and it wasn't his fault. ”
Yanxia just smiled and took her hand: "Girl, don't be busy saying good things for our son, the prince has an order, I want the prince to reflect on it, and I will send the girl back." So saying, he took the cloak himself, put it on for her, and put a warm bag on her, and sent her away.
Gao Zhen was anxious: "We haven't finished talking yet!" ”
Yanxia smiled and said, "Shizi is really, aren't you angry now?" How can you speak well? If you want to talk about it, you can wait until the gas is gone. This is the prince's decree, and the slave and maid dare not disobey it. As he spoke, he and Yanyu smiled secretly and pulled Zhao Xiu away half-pushing and half-persuading.
Zhao Xiu always felt uncomfortable in her heart, did she reconcile with Gao Zhen or not? But since King Guangping asked someone to take her away, he always had his intentions, could it be that she made Gao Zhen angry and didn't want her to continue to be with Gao Zhen?
She went back to Luomei Courtyard depressed, and Zhang was very surprised to see that Yanxia sent her back, and asked with a smile: "Why is the girl here?" ”
Yanxia saluted the Zhang family and said, "I can't compensate the old lady, just now our prince was in a hurry, and he offended Miss Zhao by speaking, and the prince has already ordered the prince to reflect on his life, so he specially ordered me to send the girl back." ”
Zhang was surprised and looked at his granddaughter: "What did the prince say?" You have known each other for many years, don't worry about a little thing, the son of the world will never have the intention to offend you. ”
Zhao Xiu said depressedly: "I didn't bother with him, I just had a mouth, but I didn't expect to alarm the prince." Now that he is so tired that he is scolded, I feel sorry for it. ”
Yanxia smiled and said: "Miss Zhao, don't take it to heart, this is what our prince is teaching the prince, and I won't really scold him." When I look back and wait for the prince to figure it out, I will definitely come to apologize to the girl, and the girl just waits. ”
Having said that, Zhao Xiu really didn't think there was anything to make amends for this kind of thing, but she felt a little sorry for Gao Zhen, if she accepted his gift, wouldn't it be so big?
After sending Yanxia away, Zhang hurriedly asked Zhao Xiu what was going on, and Zhao Xiu said, "It's really a trivial matter, and the prince is also a good intention, that is, ...... It's just that I think he gives me gifts too often, and the things are valuables, and I feel embarrassed. ”
Zhang was silent for a while before he said, "You did the right thing." It's just a matter of falling for it occasionally, and the collection of paintings and paints are just trivial things. But the prince sent you expensive clothes one after another, which was always a little inappropriate. Although he is several years older than you, in fact, the age difference between you is not too far. After two years, you will start to discuss marriage, and if you get too close, it is easy to cause gossip. ”
Zhao Xiu heard that there was something in her words, her heartbeat accelerated a little, and she deliberately pretended to be puzzled, testing her tone: "What kind of gossip will you provoke?" Does it matter? ”
Zhang secretly regretted that he shouldn't have said this to his young granddaughter, and replied vaguely with a smile: "If something like a trend towards inflammation or something, it will hinder your reputation." Your brother is going to be out of office in two years, and if it affects his future, wouldn't it be even worse? Well, no further ado. Since the prince wants to teach the prince, you should bother less, and the next time you see the prince, remember to make amends to him. Although today is the first time in the world, it is caused by your refusal to accept gifts, so it is always right to be polite. Then, as if inadvertently, he said, "Why do you go out with this cloak today, as if you have muddy water in the corners?" You've spoiled all the good things, why don't you take them off quickly? I'll have someone clean it up, and I'll keep it for you in the future." You first use the cloak of squirrel skin that I gave you, and if you want a new one, take the material and the skin that your brother has brought back, and then have someone make it. ”
Zhao Xiu frowned and agreed, took off the cloak, handed it to Xia Lu, and then went back to Xinuan Pavilion.
Zhang leaned on the big pillow under the window and pondered, there was always some up and down in his heart, and he had been thinking a little bit for the second half of the day. In the evening, Zhao Wei came over, and when he saw that she didn't seem to be in good spirits, he asked, "What's wrong with grandmother today?" Is there something wrong with you? ”
Zhang shook his head, hesitated, and saw that his granddaughter was still in Xinuan Pavilion and didn't come over, so he sent the girls out, and asked his grandson to sit down closer, only then did he lower his voice and tell him about the small quarrel between Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen today.
Zhao Wei smiled: "What is the matter, grandmother doesn't have to worry, they are still children, what does it matter if you have a few words?" ”
Zhang shook his head, and his voice was lowered: "Where is this bickering?" Sister Xiu'er's temperament and character, I can naturally trust it as a grandmother. I just think...... Shizi seems to be too attentive, sending things twice in three days, what does it mean? He also came over every day to get books, and every time he had to talk to Sister Xiu in private in the room over there...... I didn't think anything about it before, just that it was better if they were close since childhood, like brothers and sisters, but the more I think about it today, the more thrilling it becomes. People in the world come and go between relatives and friends, how can there be such a insist on giving gifts to others, and people refuse to accept it, so they are so annoyed that they drop things? He is different from you to Sister Xiu, not like a brother and sister! ”RS
