Chapter 267: Weak Heart
Zhao Wei glared at his sister with a look of disbelief.
Although Zhao Xiu has a weak heart, he still understands the bluff: "Is there something wrong?" When my brother came back to the plum courtyard just now, he looked like he was not guarding. I asked you what's wrong, and you won't answer. I thought that you had just come out of Qi Fengzhai and became like this, so I wanted to ask Shizi what was going on. ”
Zhao Wei was stunned, he never expected that his distraction was actually the reason why his sister took the initiative to find Gao Zhen, and the bitterness in his heart was really indescribable for a while: "Yes...... Is that so? ”
"That's right, that's it!" Zhao Xiu felt that she was lying more and more fluently, originally, she was not lying, she did go to Gao Zhen for this reason, of course, she also planned to send the gift by the way. As for what happened between Gao Zhen and her later, it was completely accidental and unpredictable.
She also said: "Besides, although the small quarrel between me and the prince is resolved, I always have to go over and show up in person." Just relying on my brother to make peace, I didn't show up, and Ming'er left, which seemed to be a little impolite, and it was easy for people to misunderstand that I was still angry with him. Well, now that we've got it out of the way, we won't be left with any knots in the future. "Although...... Now it's a struggle for something else......
Zhao Wei's face is very entangled now: "My sister is not wrong to say that......" Thinking about it, my sister didn't know anything about Gao Zhen's proposal, she often talked to Gao Zhen on weekdays to talk and joke, and now it is common for her to go again. On the contrary, if he is too resistant, it will arouse his sister's suspicion. It's Gao Zhen, I don't know if I said anything to my sister.
Think about it this way. He hurriedly asked his sister, "What did the son of the world say?" He gritted his teeth ......, "Did he say why I left Qi Fengzhai like I didn't give up?" ”
Zhao Xiu was embarrassed to say that she quickly put this matter behind her after entering Qifengzhai, and could only say vaguely: "I didn't ask ...... it" and then immediately remedied: "Then brother." What the hell did you get into that way? ”
Zhao Wei was dumbfounded, remembering what King Guangping had just said to him, he could only vaguely confuse the past: "It's nothing, I was thinking about something else at the time......
"Really?" Zhao Xiu was actually quite suspicious in her heart, feeling that her brother seemed to be hiding something from her. What the hell is going on? He left Qi Fengzhai abruptly, and when he saw her coming out of Qi Fengzhai just now, he seemed to be frightened......
Zhao Xiu suddenly thought of a possibility - Gao Zhen could be regarded as a confession to her. Will he ...... What did you say to Zhao Wei? For example, I want to marry your sister or something......
Zhao Xiu's heart jumped suddenly, and he only felt that according to Gao Zhen's temper, he really did this kind of thing. If so. That brother, he......
She peeked at Zhao Wei cautiously, and she was a little unsure of what he thought about the matter between her and Gao Zhen. But...... He and Gao Zhen are also small, and they have always been good friends, so they shouldn't be fiercely opposed, right? He didn't seem to want her to see Gao Zhen...... Maybe it's hoping that she can avoid suspicion?
Zhao Xiu's heart was messy. Zhao Wei is also full of thoughts. The brother and sister each had a ghost fetus, so they quietly walked back to the Luomei Courtyard.
They all cleaned up their expressions before entering the house. Zhang didn't notice anything unusual at all, and smiled and said, "How did your brother and sister come back together by such a coincidence?" ”
Zhao Xiu laughed twice: "Yes, I met in the woods." ”
The forest is still some distance away from Qifengzhai and Furong Tower, Zhang didn't think much about it, just said: "The forest is strangely cold, and the water vapor is also big." You can't see the road clearly, but you always like to go there. ”
Zhao Wei didn't notice it at all. My sister didn't mention that she was going to Qi Fengzhai, but just took off her coat and sat on the big kang: "My grandson has seen the prince and mentioned Ming'er's return to the city." The prince didn't say anything, just reminded his grandson that there are dark clouds today, and the wind will rise in the evening, and if it snows overnight, it will be difficult to walk on the road tomorrow. If this is the case, it is better to stay in the village for a few more days, and it is not too late to walk when the snow melts or the road clears out. Besides, let us send someone back to the city in advance to say that all parts of the house are ready, the kang is burned, and the charcoal is all ready. So as soon as my grandmother returned home, she was warm and warm everywhere.
Zhang sighed: "The prince really thinks about it, so if you have lunch, send someone home to talk about it." What the weather will be like tomorrow, I don't know yet. No matter whether you can move at that time or not, it always doesn't hurt to ask your family to prepare first. ”
Zhao Wei agreed, and then said: "The prince also told his grandson that it is good to go back to the city at this time, and the road is not too cold. He was to stay at the village for a little longer. There is a funeral in the palace, and this year's New Year should be simple, but the etiquette in the palace is indispensable, and the queen mother and the emperor will not let their father and son live too cold this year. I think that from Layue, the Guangping palace will also be busy. The prince estimated that the father and son would go back no matter what. ”
Zhang sighed and nodded: "That's fine." If they are really lonely and lonely in their own mansions, not to mention that the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen Mother can't stand it, even if we look at it, it is not easy to feel good. Then wait for the prince and the prince to return to the palace, and let's hand over the post to say goodbye. ”
Zhao Xiu secretly calculated the days on the side, it is already the middle of November, if his family returns to the capital first, and the king of Guangping and Gao Zhen's father and son go back before Laba, the difference is only half a month's effort, and it will be there in the blink of an eye. She was sure in her heart, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Aunt Mei with someone, carrying a food box into the courtyard gate, and hurriedly got up and said, "Aunt Mei is here to deliver food." ”
After eating, Aunt Mei took the girls and the ladies to remove the dishes. Zhang took a sip of tea, and originally wanted to ask his granddaughter to take a walk in the courtyard outside as usual, but he didn't want Zhao Wei to take the initiative: "I'll accompany my grandmother to go out for a walk today?" You don't have to go far, just walk around the main courtyard of Xizhuang, and go around the Songbai House where I live. Heng Ming'er left, didn't grandmother want to go over and take a look? ”
The Zhang family had actually been to Songbaiju, but after hearing his grandson say this, he understood that he must have something to say to himself in private, and he still had to avoid his granddaughter. "That's fine, I'll go over and see if you've fallen behind in your recent homework." ”
Zhao Xiu hurriedly came over to help her up. Zhao Wei said again: "My sister should stay and pack up her things." Ming'er may be about to leave, in addition to the things we brought, the paintings you have painted these days, the words you have practiced, and the books you borrowed from the prince, they should be placed in place, so as not to turn around and leave things behind. ”
Zhao Xiu blinked. Vaguely guessing what he might say to his grandmother, he humbly agreed, and then watched him help her out the door. I really wanted to keep up and see what they were talking about, but I was afraid that I would not be able to explain it after being discovered, so I didn't know what to do for a while. I can only aimlessly pack up my calligraphy and painting practice drafts. I haven't cleaned it up for a long time.
Until the smoke and rain came to the door.
Zhao Xiu always felt that when Gao Zhen said those words that made her ears blush and her heart beat, Yanyu was very likely to listen outside, otherwise how could she stop Yanxia who came over to ask about things so appropriately? Therefore, she always felt a little weird in her heart when she faced the smoke and rain, and she was not very embarrassed.
The smoke and rain fell generously, as if he didn't know anything, and put a large box with a smile on the kang table: "This is the paint and album that the prince promised to Miss Zhao yesterday." When the girl passed now, she should have given it to the girl to bring back. I forgot about it. When I remembered this, the prince asked me to send it to the girl. There are only these two albums for the time being. The prince said that the other books had fallen into the palace. When he returns to the palace, he will definitely send it to the girl himself. ”
Zhao Xiu subconsciously felt that this was an excuse for Gao Zhen to deliberately keep it to come to her in the future, otherwise there would be more than two albums in Qifengzhai? She saw at least four of them yesterday!
She blushed a little embarrassed, and said to Yanyu: "Thank you for me, thank you, it's hard for him to think about this...... These two albums are enough for me to study for a while. When I'm done, I'll ask him to borrow something else. After finishing speaking, she asked Bihan to bring her purse, and she couldn't treat the other party badly no matter what.
Yanyu smiled, thanked the reward before he got the purse, and asked with a smile: "The prince heard that the girl's family is going back tomorrow, and it is cold on the road, so I asked the girl if he wants him to send the hand stove before?" ”
Zhao Xiu's eyes hesitated. It's just to send a hand stove and let Yanyu bring it by the way, Gao Zhen has to ask her to help ask this, is it just to find an excuse to come to the door?
Really, he hadn't been so careful before, looking for reasons around the bush. It seems that he really said something to his brother to make him so weak-hearted.
Zhao Xiu remembered that his brother and grandmother were discussing something in private that she couldn't hear, and she was also weak-hearted, so she hurriedly said to Yanyu: "I don't lack a hand stove, so I don't have to bother, you let the prince use it himself." If you think the style of the hand stove is too delicate, you can keep it in your own house, and it is just a hand-warming thing. Otherwise, if my grandmother and brother knew that I had to work for this little thing, they would have said that I was frivolous. ”
Yanyu didn't know if she understood her hint, so she smiled and bent her knees, and said: "Miss Zhao doesn't want the hand stove, then Ming'er must remember to put on the cloak given by our son, put the hand cage on it, and don't blow the wind." ”
Zhao Xiu thought to herself, if she really did this, I don't know what her grandmother and brother would think.
She didn't know that her grandmother Zhang was in Songbai Juli at the moment, and after listening to Zhao Wei's words, she was so shocked that she couldn't react: "What do you say?" This is the prince's words?! ”
Zhao Wei nodded: "When I went to see the prince just now, he said this to me. It's not very straightforward, but he just wants to say hello to us in advance and let us have a number in our hearts. He said that he liked our sister Xiu very much, and if he could let the prince marry Sister Xiu as his wife, he would be happy in his heart. The two families know each other, Sister Xiu and Shizi have known each other since childhood, and they get along very well on weekdays......" He looked at his grandmother, and when he saw the other party's surprised and unexpected look, he couldn't help but sigh: "The prince is not forced, but if we are also willing to get married, then everyone will be happy." Next year, after the son of the world is filial piety, he will mention this matter to the palace. But if we ...... If he has any concerns, then he is willing to give our family time to think about it, he said...... He really wants to marry our family. ”
Zhang only felt at a loss in his heart: "This ...... This...... I never thought that I would marry the royal palace! (To be continued......)
