Zhao Wei didn't know how he left Qi Fengzhai. I just felt that it was muddy, so I walked to the door of Luomei Courtyard.

Aunt Mei was taking care of plum blossoms in the yard with a mother-in-law, and when she looked up and saw him standing at the gate of the courtyard in a daze, she only felt inexplicable, but she still straightened up and saluted him: "The little marquis is here?" ”

Zhao Xiu was practicing painting in front of the window, when he heard the movement, he put down his pen and walked out, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother is back?" What do you think? He's not angry, is he? ”

Zhao Wei only woke up when he saw his sister, but his mind hadn't turned a corner yet: "What are you angry?" Oh......" he remembered, but what should I say? It's not a matter of being angry or not......

Zhao Xiu blinked, staring at his brother, still waiting for his answer, but Zhao Wei looked at his sister's innocent face, and remembered Gao Zhen's confession just now, and couldn't say anything.

Zhao Xiu felt so strange: "What's the matter, brother?" Is he still angry? This can't be! Gao Zhen "pleaded guilty" with her, and sent flowers, obviously to make amends to her, how could she still be angry? But my brother didn't make it clear, so Zhao Xiu made a decisive decision: "I'll go to him by myself to ask for clarification!" ”

"Don't!" Zhao Wei hurriedly stopped his sister, "He...... He didn't get angry, he looked a little embarrassed, and he did send the words in the morning, saying that he wanted to make amends to you. ”

"I'll just say it." Zhao Xiu smiled triumphantly, "Since he is so sincere, then I will forgive him." But after laughing, she still felt very strange: "Such a simple matter, brother, why didn't you answer just now?" ”

Zhao Wei didn't speak, just walked into the house full of worries.

Zhang was sitting cross-legged on the big kang in the second room of the East Warm Pavilion, leaning on the pillow by the window and reading a book, and when he saw his grandson coming back, he asked: "I have been going for so long, but I have already resigned to the prince?" ”

Zhao Wei was just about to sit down on the side of the kang, and his body froze when he heard the words.

Gao Zhen, who he went to look for first, was directly stunned by Gao Zhen's words, and didn't think of saying goodbye to King Guangping at all, so he quickly stood up straight and said hesitantly: "Grandson...... Thinking that this is still early, so ...... So I want to go back later. ”

Zhang looked at him suspiciously: "It's almost 10 o'clock in the morning, it's still early?" If you don't go, it's time for lunch. If you really want to leave tomorrow, you should leave the prince before lunch at the latest. Where have you just gone? I didn't even get down to business. ”

Zhao Wei was full of shame and said respectfully: "Grandmother is angry, and my grandson will go to Furong Tower to ask to see the prince." ”

He hurried away again, leaving Zhao Xiu and Zhang in a daze. Zhang asked Zhao Xiu: "What's wrong with your brother?" He looks like a god who doesn't keep his mind. Zhao Xiu shook his head, and suddenly his heart moved, Zhao Wei only became like this after he came back from Gao Zhen, could it be that Gao Zhen told him something? Since this is the case, then she will go over and inquire, anyway, Gao Zhen has reconciled with her now.

Do what you think. Zhao Xiu went back to the room to change into thick clothes, put on a cloak, took a small bag and hid it in the cloak, and walked to Dongnuan Pavilion with a smile and said to Zhang: "Grandmother, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Zhang had something in his heart, and said busily: "It's almost time to eat, what are you going out for?" It's weird cold outside, if you just want to move your legs and feet, just walk around this courtyard twice. ”

Of course, Zhao Xiu couldn't agree, so he said: "You can leave in the courtyard every day after dinner, and it's not fresh." We're going home tomorrow, if we don't leave at this time, when will we have the opportunity to come again? Good grandmother, just let me walk around again. I practiced calligraphy all morning, my eyes were tired, and I wanted to look at the scenery and take a break. ”

She said so, and Zhang had no choice but to allow her, but repeatedly advised: "Just take a walk around, don't be too far away, come back early, and it's time to eat in a while." Zhao Xiu waved his hand and went out directly.

She took Merlin's path again, planning to pass directly from the edge of the flower house and reach the back hall of Qi Fengzhai, the distance was relatively short, and she would not meet too many people in the middle.

When she arrived at the back hall of Qifengzhai, she happened to hear Gao Zhen commanding Yanyu something: "...... Isn't it the one who sprinkles the bladder? It's better to tell her to go back to her old job, and she doesn't have to send people back to her home, because she has to send people here all the year round, which saves her from talking nonsense everywhere. Go and tell the people in charge of the village to keep an eye on them. If there is anything bad, hit it when it should be beaten, punish it when it should be punished, and don't worry too much. ”

Yanyu responded with a smile: "Don't worry, the slave and maid will do it properly, including that girl who doesn't dare to overstep the distance." ”

She turned around and lifted the cotton curtain and was about to leave, when she saw Zhao Xiu standing outside the door with a curious face, and hurriedly said, "Miss Zhao is here?" Why don't you come in? What kind of cold wind is blowing outside? ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and said: "I also just came, and I heard you talking about things in the house, so it's not easy to disturb." Shizi is in it, right? Will you be free at this time? ”

"Miss Zhao said with a smile, you are here, when will we not be free in our world?" Yanyu smiled and opened the curtain and let Zhao Xiu enter the door.

Gao Zhen heard that Zhao Xiu was coming, his eyes lit up, he stood up, remembered what he had just said to Zhao Wei, his cheeks were slightly red, and he was very embarrassed to support him, before he said the first sentence to Zhao Xiu: "Are you here?" ”

Zhao Xiu smiled generously: "I'm here, I received your flowers, it's so beautiful, thank you." ”

The blush on Gao Zhen's face deepened by two points: "It's good if you like it." ”

"It's weird." He thought to himself. In front of Zhao Wei, he can say his psychological words generously, why does he feel embarrassed in front of Zhao Xiu now?

Yanyu untied the cloak for Zhao Xiu, and saw that she was still carrying a small burden, so she was a little curious: "What is Miss Zhao taking?" ”

Zhao Xiu smiled, put the small burden on the kang table with some embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "This...... It was a few pieces of needlework that I made yesterday, and I gave them to Brother Zhen. At last...... Apologize. I refused your gift yesterday, in fact, I didn't mean anything else, but I felt a little uneasy to receive valuable gifts from you one after another. But then I thought about it, and I felt that the two of us often come and go on weekdays, and we often give gifts to each other. If I think that the gift you have given is too expensive and too much, I will return the same expensive gift. Anyway...... This kind of thing is self-purifying, and we ourselves are open-minded, and we don't have to care what others think. ”

Gao Zhen's eyes lit up: "So, are you willing to accept my gift?" ”

Zhao Xiu pursed his lips and smiled: "But you also have to accept the gift I gave." She opened her baggage and said, "It's not well done...... It's the first time I've made my own skin, and because it's a small piece, I didn't ask anyone to help, but I'm not very skilled, and I'm in a hurry...... If you are not used to it, ask a professional to do something new. ”

Gao Zhen looked down at the contents of the baggage, but it was three small leather goods, including a pair of ear warmers and a pair of gloves. The ear warmer is a headband made of copper wire and black velvet, which specially leaves a gap in the bun, and the ear protectors on both sides are made of small pieces of black fox skin, the fur is smooth and smooth, and the tentacles are warm and delicate. The pair of gloves is a special style, he has never seen before, first use thick flannel cloth to make the shape of a half-finger glove, and then sew a piece of calfskin on the back of the hand and the palm of the hand, but on the back of the hand, and make half a leather glove, fixed with a hidden button, when needed, it can be turned over, covered on the exposed half of the fingers, to achieve the effect of cold and wind.

This style is very familiar to Zhao Xiu, and it is a common dual-purpose half-finger glove in modern times.

Gao Zhen saw the novelty, and couldn't help but try it on immediately, and found that the gloves fit the size of his hand, the elasticity is moderate, and it is also very convenient to wear and move, and it will not hinder his movement. Imagine when riding a horse in winter, wearing these gloves will not be afraid of the cold wind. The calfskin in the palm of the hand also protects the skin from being abrasion by the horse's reins.

Gao Zhen looked at the gloves over and over, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them, Zhao Xiu picked up the pair of warm ears: "How about you try this too?" ”

Gao Zhen looked at the warm ear: "This is...... Ear warmer? It looks a little different from what is usually used. ”

Of course, the ear warmer in ancient times was more like a fur hood, and even if it was a simple type that only covered both ears, it was different from modern ear tips. The ear-warming design in Zhao Xiu's hand is completely made according to the modern appearance, don't look at the black fur, and there is no decoration, but the style is a little cute.

Zhao Xiu lifted his feet, put the ear warmer on Gao Zhen's head, adjusted the position of the ear tips left and right, and always felt as if something was missing, so he said: "You bend down a little, I can't see where your ears are." Gao Zhen bent down slightly, feeling Zhao Xiu's breath spraying on his face, it was hot, and the roots of his ears were even more red.

Zhao Xiu didn't pay attention, only concentrated on helping him put on the warm ears, and then tidied up his hair by the way, then walked away two steps, circled around him, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, it's actually pretty good-looking." ”

Gao Zhen was originally thin and silent, with a somewhat sharp and cool appearance, wearing this fluffy warm ear, his face was also flushed with a suspicious flush, and the whole person suddenly became cute.

Yanyu couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker by the door, Gao Zhen felt a little bad: "What are you laughing at?" Am I ugly to wear? ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly smiled and said, "It's really not ugly, really!" Yanyu was also shaking his head desperately: "It's not ugly at all, it's very good-looking, and it's very suitable for the world." He also took a mirror for him to see.

Gao Zhen glanced twice in the mirror and secretly glanced at Zhao Xiu, struggling fiercely in his heart.

Zhao Xiu asked him with a smile: "How is it?" Do you like it? ”

Gao Zhen looked at the gloves in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then pretended not to care and said, "It's not annoying." ”

That's what it means to like? Really, when will this little problem of duplicity be corrected? Zhao Xiu smiled and said nothing.

Yanyu peeked at the appearance of her own son again, and asked with a smile: "Shizi, Miss Zhao gave you such a good gift, it was made by herself, you should return the gift." ”

Gao Zhen was reminded by her, and looked at Zhao Xiu with hope on his face, Zhao Xiu burst out laughing: "Is this to ask me if I would like to accept those two gifts?" These little needles and threads of mine can't compare with your two gifts, and if you really want to thank me, give me the hand cage so that it can be matched with the cloak. As for the hand stove, you still keep it for yourself. Whether it's for your own use, or if I borrow it from me when I come to talk to you, it's still cheap. If...... If I give you another gift, you can give me a gift again. ”

Although Gao Zhen felt that this was too troublesome, her attention was quickly attracted by the meaning of her words: "What gift do you want to give me?" ”

"You'll know when the time comes." Zhao Xiu smiled and sat down by the kang, refusing to answer clearly.

Gao Zhen looked at her, and glanced at Yanyu again: "Don't you go to tea yet?" By the way, I brought the hand cage over. ”

Yanyu responded, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, the son of the world lost his temper and threw things away, I was afraid that you would break it when you got angry, so I specially put it away." It takes a bit of work to find out. Then he turned and went out. As for how long she will have to find the hand cage, it depends on how long Gao Zhen will take, and neither of them is in a hurry to drink tea.

Gao Zhen's ears began to heat up again, he looked at Zhao Xiu, and asked in a low voice, "Last night...... Do you hear the whistle? ”

Zhao Xiu nodded, covered his mouth and smiled: "It's quiet in the dead of night, why can't you hear it?" I've seen the pigeons, and it's too easy for you to bear the guilt. What do you do if I don't find the pigeons? ”

Gao Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, he also found that there were lights in the backyard of Luomei Courtyard, and there was a faint sound of girls laughing, so he guessed that Zhao Xiu had not stopped. Even if no one finds the pigeon, it's nothing, if others find out, and there is not a word on it, there will be no consequences, and others will definitely report it to Zhao Xiu, and she can still guess his intentions at that time.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Then do you know what the name of my flute song yesterday is?" ”

Zhao Xiu really didn't know, he just felt that the melody was a little unfamiliar, but it was very good. She asked curiously, "What kind of song is it?" I don't think I've heard of it before. ”

His voice was lowered a little lower, but he sang directly: "Tonight, what a night, the middle continent flows." What is the day today......"

When Zhao Xiu heard this, he had already reacted, and his heart was shocked. This is "Yue Ren Song", which is an ancient song, but this is not the point, the point is that this song is not ...... Isn't it a song that confesses courtship?

She knew what the next words of the song were, and when she heard that Gao Zhen was about to start singing the part of shame play, she quickly reached out and covered his mouth.

Gao Zhen's mouth was covered and his singing stopped, but his eyes were brighter than usual. He just stared at Zhao Xiu like this, without blinking his eyes, as if in his eyes, she was the whole world.

Zhao Xiu's face turned red, and it became more and more red.

It's terrible. She thought to herself. She is obviously an adult, with a mature, calm, and steady mind, even if she is a little shy in the face of other people's courtship, she should basically be able to stay calm. But what's the deal with that faster and faster heartbeat?

Did she have a heart attack?
