Chapter 276: Small Tower
The people below immediately cleaned up the broken qin, dug a pit and buried the qin according to the meaning of Jinse, and set up a sign, which was engraved with two words 'crescent moon', which was the same qin that he brought when he swam in the lake with Hua Shangxue.
About half an hour after Mama Cao left, she hurried back to Jingliu Garden, and whispered a few times in her ear when she got to Jin Se's side, so that Jin Se, who was still unconcerned, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows lightly and take it into account.
"What you're saying is likely to be true?" Jinse asked.
"If the girl doesn't believe it, you can send a girl to the prince's Qinxin Garden to find out if there is a maid sent to invite the prince to the small tower to talk, and it is about to meet at such a late hour."
"Nonsense. Can anyone find out the whereabouts of the prince at will? Jin Se shouted in a deep voice, but he already believed six points.
"If the girl is worried about this, the other way is to go to the new garden near the small tower to see what is going on. You must know that although this new landscape garden is deserted, it has not been demolished and rebuilt for the time being, there is no problem with hiding a few people in the five-story attic, and there is no need to worry about being discovered, if there is anything wrong with the small tower, you can also take a look, the girl has not always been worried that the relationship between this Xiaoxue and the prince is unusual, and now is not a good opportunity to find out? ”
Jin Se's fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, thoughtful.
"Girl?" After not answering for a long time, Mama Cao called softly, but saw Jin Se take out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his arms and put it on the table, "You did a good job in this matter, this is a reward for you." so that you know that I have clear rewards and punishments. If it is proved that what you said is true, you will keep this silver ticket, and if you find out that you are fooling me, even if I will not take your life, at least the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime will not be escaped, and you must remember it for a long time, and do not be self-righteous. Of course, if there's anything that happens that interests me, I'll be rewarded. ”
"Thank you for the tip." Mama Cao responded with a smile and stuffed the silver ticket into her arms. There is no fear that the message you convey will be fake.
The night is getting deeper. Jin Se asked the people in the courtyard to turn off the lights and rest early, and then secretly changed into a black tights and wore a black cloak to cover his body.
Mama Cao's clothes were already darker, so she just put on the cloak. You don't have to change your clothes.
The two of them closed the door. I left Jingliu Garden from the backyard and went straight to Xinjing Garden. Avoiding the guards, I entered the deserted attic of Xinjingyuan, and stepped on the babbling stairs to the top floor corridor. My eyes happened to fall on the small tower in the courtyard next door, and I happened to see that the small tower was lit up tonight, and the courtyard was bright, and in the first to seventh floors of the small tower, the lights were only on the third floor, but I saw that on the more spacious octagonal corridor on the third floor, a small square table had been placed, on which were some pastries and snacks, and there was a hot water stove and a small wooden barrel.
The time is approaching, Hua Shangxue is wearing a fuchsia long skirt and wearing the fuchsia hair ornament she got today, and the whole person seems to have been reborn, looking extremely noble, and even with the original immature face, there is a little bit of maturity at this moment.
Hua Shangxue went directly to the third floor of the small tower, retired the people who were waiting, and made tea by himself, preparing to entertain Yun Jinze, who was about to arrive.
When Yun Jinze came as promised, when he saw Hua Shangxue, who was wearing a purple red dress on the third floor and had a slightly mature and charming makeup, he was obviously a little in a trance, but he recovered quickly, and his eyes were full of deep incomprehension.
I don't understand Hua Shangxue's sudden invitation, I don't understand Hua Shangxue's sudden makeup and dressing, if it was before, she would at most apply some rouge on her lips, and she rarely made up makeup on her face, and the changes in today really made him incomprehensible.
Hua Shangxue looked at Yun Jinze under the small tower, and said with a chuckle: "Why are you standing below in a daze?" Don't you recognize me? ”
Yun Jinze was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. Looking around, there was no servant, only him and Hua Shangxue were alone in the small tower.
What does she mean by that?
Yun Jinze's heart suddenly beat wildly, and even he couldn't understand why he was beating so wildly.
Could it be because of the lonely men and widows living together, or being alone in this secluded courtyard at night when the night is getting deeper.
Although the scenery of this small tower is also good, but it is only good, for the whole palace, there is nothing special, even the scenery of Yao Yuan is better than here, and the only characteristic is probably the existence of this tower, there is no Buddha statue in it, but some murals are depicted, telling some mythological stories, in addition, that is, the tower is high, you can overlook most of the palace scenery, that's all.
I got the news before, saying that Hua Shangxue invited the little tower to talk about it, and asked him to come alone, Yun Jinze was a little puzzled, but he never refused this invitation and went to the appointment alone.
But when he found out that not only did he go to the appointment alone, but even Hua Shangxue was the same, he was a little confused, and he didn't know how to react.
"Why don't you let me come, are you afraid that I will eat you?" Hua Shangxue said condescendingly, with a hint of provocation.
Yun Jinze, who was still undecided, immediately stepped upstairs, not for anything else, just to fight for a breath.
He is also a dignified man, a prince, how can he be frightened by a woman and dare not move forward.
Isn't it just being alone, she is not afraid of a weak woman, what is he afraid of.
Anyway, he also thinks that he is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he will not do anything dirty.
If he wouldn't, then why should he worry about so many problems?
Thinking of this, Yun Jinze's footsteps also changed from the initial negative qi to the heaviness and then to the relaxation at the moment, and after the mood changed for the second time, he returned to calm and went up to the third floor.
"Please sit down and see if the tea I brew tastes good and if it can be eaten. If it's not delicious, you have to take care of it more, making tea, I just know how to make a little fur, it's hard to get into the hall of elegance, you are not allowed to laugh at me. Hua Shangxue said that she had already poured the tea into the teacup, but instead poured the empty seat at one end of the table, just waiting for Yun Jinze to sit down.
After Yun Jinze sat down, he took a sip of tea and blurted out: "It's astringent, it's a little bitter." ”
The words blurted out, and after finishing speaking, Yun Jinze regretted it a little, and couldn't help but look at the reaction of the dazzled snow.
"You really don't give face. However, this is also a fact, I am the only one to make tea tonight, and the people have made me retreat, if you don't drink this tea, you can only drink plain water, I don't care, anyway, this tea is used to drinking, but I am not too picky people. Hua Shangxue shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly, knowing that she was a few catties and a few taels, and she gladly accepted Yun Jinze's evaluation.
After Yun Jinze took a few more sips of tea, he spoke again: "Although it is bitter, but after drinking a few more sips, it also has a sweet taste, and it is not without merit." However, you asked me to come here tonight, probably just so that I could drink the tea you made. ”
Hua Shangxue covered her mouth and chuckled: "You are in a hurry, so you will ask so quickly." I thought you'd have to be at least polite to me before you ask this question? ”
Yun Jinze smiled and was noncommittal.
In fact, he didn't know how to answer, so he simply kept silent, just waiting for Hua Shangxue to say what he wanted to say, which was better than his guessing.
"Let's not talk about that, but let's see how I'm dressed differently now?" Hua Shangxue stood up as she spoke, turned around a few times in front of Yun Jinze, and asked with a smile on her face.
Yun Jinze was asked by these gangs, but he also took a closer look at Hua Shangxue's outfit, and he didn't care about it at first, but after a careful look, he found that the jewelry on her body happened to be one of the jewelry that her grandmother took out to let him forward it to her today.
Looking at this set of jewelry, it looks good, but for some reason, I always feel that Hua Shangxue is really good looking at this set of jewelry at the moment, but I always feel that there is something missing, and I can't think of what is lacking for a while, so I can't help frowning, giving people a very serious look.
Hua Shangxue saw that Yun Jinze was so serious, but she didn't get angry, but deliberately put a few poss for Yun Jinze to look at carefully, just waiting for his answer.
"This set of jewelry really suits you." Yun Jinze didn't spit out such a sentence until a long time, which was really a little disappointing.
"No flair at all. Shouldn't it be the men who praise the woman's appearance and then satisfy the woman's vanity in other ways? You are also a dignified prince, just such a bland answer, it really makes people unhappy. Hua Shangxue couldn't help but glance at Yun Jinze with a sideways face, and the slightly pursed lips when she was unhappy made her whole person feel a big change, no longer mature and steady, looking youthful and energetic, delicate and cute.
"But I don't think you look like a person who likes to be complimented." Yun Jinze replied innocently, which sounded even more unpleasant than the vague praise before.
Hua Shangxue glared at her, and said angrily: "I'm also a woman, how can I not like to be praised, but you are still the prince?" It's stupid and infuriating. Forget it, going around in circles with you, I guess you won't understand what I'm trying to do. Then I'll just get straight to the point and tell you clearly. ”
"You say." Yun Jinze waved his hand.
Hua Shangxue took out the booklet that Yun Jinze gave her from her arms, opened the page with Yun Jinze's handwriting, pointed to the content above and said, "Does this promise still count now?" ”
Yun Jinze looked at the line of words on the booklet, and then looked at the dazzled snow, I don't know why she was in this booklet at the moment, could it be that she had something to ask him to help?
But what could have made her hesitate to use the promise in this booklet to ask him to promise to help? (To be continued......)
