Chapter 154: Manifest the Dilemma
After a long while, Zhou Xianyu wiped away the tears coughed up from the corners of his eyes, swallowed all the snacks in his mouth, and immediately asked:
"Fifth brother, what you said is true, this ginger tea was made for me by Xuan'er? When does she come to your Rui Palace, I will look for her. ”
Seeing that Zhou Xianyu got up and was about to go out, Zhou Xianrui hurriedly stopped him, and knew that the other party had misunderstood.
"Seventh brother, you sit down first, this tea is prepared by the fourth lady, but how can she cook tea in my house now, you are so impatient, I really don't know when I will be able to change it."
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xianyu, who was still full of joy, sat down again with a disappointed expression, and then muttered:
"Fifth brother, you know that I haven't seen Jinxuan for two days, and now you still make fun of me with this tea, obviously it was given to you by Xuan'er, and it was even said that it was specially prepared for me, if she really has this thought, why don't you send it directly to my royal palace."
Zhou Xianyu nagged with indignation, but he still pushed the ginseng tea in his hand in front of Zhou Xianrui, and then silently held the ginger tea that he had just disliked abnormally in his hand, and then frowned and took two sips while it was hot.
Looking at Zhou Xianyu, who had never tasted ginger, he was holding ginger tea and drinking it with relish, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but shake his head and laugh twice.
"I don't know who it was just now, and I said that I wouldn't drink this ginger tea if I was killed, but now I know that it is the tea prepared by the fourth lady, I see that you drink it very comfortably, but this tea is indeed specially prepared for you by the fourth lady, and this king will never lie to you."
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xianyu's beautiful phoenix eyes darkened, and then he said with some self-deprecation:
"This is Xuan'er's own tea, not to mention that there are ginger shreds in it, even if it is poisoned, I can't waste half of it. But what did the fifth brother mean by what he said just now, Xuan'er can't stay out of the house now, I think she is deliberately avoiding me, she is so tired of me, where will she make tea for me to drink, don't comfort me. ”
After the Lantern Festival farewell, Zhou Xianyu never saw Xiao Jinxuan, and he finally realized what it means to live like a year.
It's not that he didn't think about it, sneaking directly into the Forsythia Courtyard, even if he just glanced at Xiao Jinxuan from a distance, he felt that he could relieve the pain of lovesickness.
But after thinking about it, he dismissed this idea again, because after seeing Xiao Jinxuan when he returned to Beijing this time, he felt a resolute sense of alienation from the other party.
Although Xiao Jinxuan was lukewarm to him when he was in Yangzhou, she would smile at him when she was happy. When he is entangled and loses his sense of proportion, he will also show a panicked and helpless look.
But now no matter what he says or does, Xiao Jinxuan's reaction is indifferent and refuses to be thousands of miles away, so Zhou Xianyu didn't dare to visit Forsythia Courtyard in private, for fear of making Xiao Jinxuan even more unhappy, and becoming more and more alienated and ignoring him.
Zhou Xianyu was never afraid that Xiao Jinxuan would be angry with him, annoyed with him, and even hate him. But what really scared him was the other party's indifference, ignorance, and coldness.
Zhou Xianyu, who has always been free and uninhibited, thought about these things, and there was a little more confusion and melancholy on his face, and he lowered his head and took another sip of ginger tea, only then did he feel that his heart was finally warmer.
Taking in Zhou Xianyu's expression, Zhou Xianrui was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice:
"Seventh brother, you think that the fourth lady is more indifferent to you than before, in fact, she is in her heart, and the more distant she is from you, in fact, it proves that she cares about you more, so since you have decided to stay with the other party for a lifetime, then cheer up, this look of no fighting spirit, but it does not match you, the dignified king of the Great Zhou."
Seeing that Zhou Xianyu heard this and looked at himself, Zhou Xianrui took a sip of ginseng tea before continuing:
"You can see the two cups of tea in front of us, in fact, this cup for my brother is also sent by Miss Four, the effect is to refresh and replenish qi, I think Miss Four knows that I often stay up late, so I specially sent this kind of ginseng tea."
Then he pointed to Zhou Xianyu's tea again, and said with a smile:
"Interestingly, when Baizhu sent the tea two days ago, he specially instructed that if you come to my house for the seventh brother, I will definitely ask you to taste this ginger tea, and you also know that this ginger tea is the most cold, so I guessed that the fourth lady saw you that day, jumped into the lake and soaked your whole body, so I was worried that you were suffering from the wind cold, and specially sent this tea to you."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu's eyes lit up, he smiled happily, and then asked suspiciously:
"Listening to what the fifth brother said, this tea was really left for me by Xuan'er, but since you want me to drink it, why do you want to send it to you, if I don't come to your house in the next few days, won't I be able to drink half a mouthful, they all say that a woman's heart is a needle, and my brother will already be confused, I really can't guess what Xuan'er thinks."
Seeing Zhou Xianyu's eyebrows, they were almost wrinkled, Zhou Xianrui sighed, and a trace of pity flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Actually, you can't guess the fourth lady's thoughts, that's because when you were in the side, you didn't see it at all, when she knew that you were seriously injured and unconscious, what kind of gaffe and self-blame you were, and even she was too drunk to drink, and she was drunk in my house, and all the chattering was you."
Stunned in disbelief, Zhou Xianyu couldn't imagine that Xiao Jinxuan, who had always been calm and cold, would lose his temper to the point of getting drunk for him, but knowing that Zhou Xianrui would not lie to deceive him, Zhou Xianyu's heart immediately felt a pain, and asked anxiously:
"Fifth brother, what about later, why did you let Jinxuan drink, how can it hurt your body, it's all the people around me who are stupid, when I was in a coma, I sent you the letter I wrote in advance, otherwise Xuan'er wouldn't know about the serious injury, then she didn't have to be sad because of me, but my brother still doesn't understand, according to my brother's meaning, that Jinxuan should also have affection for me, so why did I come back safely, she didn't want to pay attention to me."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui stood up, walked to the door of the study, squinted his eyes and looked out, and said in a low voice:
"When the seventh brother was in Yangzhou, he must have known something about the past of the fourth lady. When she was born, the people in the courtyard died mysteriously, so it was considered a disaster, and if anyone was kind to her or close to her, then they would be doomed and finally killed alive. So she was sent to Zhuangzi at birth, and it wasn't until not long after we went to Yangzhou that she returned to Xiaofu from Xinfu and got acquainted with you and me. ”
Regarding Xiao Jinxuan's past, Zhou Xianyu remembered the other party so much, so he naturally investigated it very clearly, and when he heard the word nemesis, he smiled sarcastically on his face, and then said with disdain:
"What kind of disaster star came to the world, want to make people die quietly and peacefully, this king has no less than ten ways to do this, I think there are people looking for revenge on the Xiao family, this is why Jinxuan has been affected, she was born with such an ominous reputation, and she has suffered so much, if I know who did it behind the scenes, I will definitely not be able to spare him!"
Because Zhou Xianyu is a fierce general on the battlefield, there are countless enemies who have died in his hands, so he is okay when he is lazy on weekdays, but once he is angry, his body will naturally show a thick evil aura, which makes people feel frightened when they see it.
And Zhou Xianrui looked at Zhou Xianyu, whose eyes were glowing with scarlet blood at this time, and immediately frowned and said softly:
"Xianyu still hasn't taken away the murderous aura in his heart, your bloodthirsty aura is getting heavier and heavier now, if you don't know how to control it on weekdays, sooner or later you will have to suffer from it."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu, who had a cold expression, flashed annoyance in his eyes, and then in a few breaths, all the evil qi around his body was dispersed, and he returned to a lazy and casual appearance.
"Fifth brother, don't worry about my affairs, after many years of territory, the evil spirit in this body is already difficult to get rid of, but don't worry, I won't be difficult to suppress, and I will become bloodthirsty and easy to kill."
Once there was a fierce general in Beirong Kingdom, brave and good at fighting, unmatched, but because of too much killing, in the end he was disturbed by evil spirits, lost his normalcy, became only known about killing, and finally ended up with a neck and self-slaughter.
Therefore, when Zhou Xianrui saw it for the first time, Zhou Xianyu's eyes would turn red when he was angry, and he began to remind the other party to control his murderous aura and never follow the old path of that fierce general.
And after Zhou Xianyu adjusted his breath, he didn't take his own affairs to heart at all, but asked anxiously:
"Fifth brother, are you saying that Xuan'er deliberately alienated me because she was worried that her ominousness would bring me bad luck, what are you kidding, didn't I have an old way when I was born, and I also said that I was a bad star, so it doesn't match her calamity, not to mention that I am so hard, where will she restrain me."
Seeing Zhou Xianyu's indifferent appearance, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly:
"You don't care at all, but the fourth lady thinks that you are seriously injured, all because she is too close to you, the **** came to my house late at night despite the darkness, holding your bloody letter, crying liver and intestines. Later, she was drunk and whispered, and said that if she didn't like you and sealed her heart all the time, she wouldn't hurt you, and she also said that she was a heartless person and shouldn't pray for affection. ”
With a "click", the teacup in Zhou Xianyu's hand was directly shattered by him, and his face was full of distress and self-blame.
"Fifth brother, don't say it, I'm going to find Xuan'er, I want to tell her face to face, don't say that I never believed that she would defeat people, even if Xuan'er is really the reincarnation of the disaster star, don't say that I am seriously injured, even if I lose my life, I Zhou Xianyu is willing to give it to her." This stupid woman has alienated me for such a ridiculous reason, and I have been worried for so long, I have to settle accounts with her now. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu walked out angrily and annoyed, but Zhou Xianrui stood by the door and blocked him.
"Seventh brother, you can't be confused, you should know the fourth lady's temperament, even if you don't care, but if she is incomprehensible, I'm afraid that the more fierce you are, the farther away you are, and finally it's irreparable, don't say I didn't remind you."
This next week, Xianyu is really unfolded, and he immediately couldn't help but shout loudly:
"Dead woman, stupid woman, stupid woman, how long do you want to torture me, looking for you for fear of scaring you away, I am really uncomfortable not seeing you, why hide all the suffering in my heart, why don't you say these words to me, Xiao Jinxuan, what should I do with you when you call me."
Almost as soon as his words fell, Shen Wenqing, who didn't want to be the princess of Rui, actually walked over with refreshments and a smile, and before anyone came close, he chuckled and said:
"I have long heard that on the night of the Lantern Festival, the seventh brother Yingyue Lake, swore to a woman named Xuan'er in public, it was only a rumor, but I didn't want this woman to be Miss Jinxuan, looking at the seventh brother suffering from love like this, sister-in-law has a way to solve your lovesickness, so don't be impulsive, let me arrange everything."
