Chapter 175: Suspicion
The carriage ran all the way, but instead of entering the city, it took Jinsu to another hill outside the city. She is no stranger to there, and the hidden flowers in the snow that she saw for the first time in her life were there. However, the spring breeze has arrived, and there is not much snow left on the mountain, and the silver is decorated with dots of tender green.
When she arrived at the door of the familiar little house, Kong Qing consciously stepped aside and let her knock on the door alone.
Inside the house, Feng Yao was concentrating on making tea. Raising his eyes, without waiting for her to salute, he pouted at the cushion in front of him, and said softly, "Sit down!" At the same time, he poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
Taking the teacup with both hands, the fragrance of tea immediately came to his face, and Jin Su praised casually, "The aroma is pleasant, it is indeed good tea!" However, looking at His Highness's refreshed and radiant appearance, it doesn't look like he's in good health. ”
Hearing this, Feng Yao smiled and said nothing, gently blew the hot tea, took a sip, and then said to himself, "This is still the new West Lake Longjing this year, and it will be sent to Kyoto quickly, you can taste it." ”
The question was not answered, and the fact that he did not come here willingly in the first place, Jin Su was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart. I blew on the hot tea and put the teacup down after three or two sips.
Feng Yao picked up the teapot and was about to refill her with another cup, but she blocked it.
"Your Highness, the courtiers are not good at the tea ceremony, so there is no need to continue," after a pause, Jinsu continued, "Since Your Highness is in good health, the courtiers will retire. ”
"Do you just like being alone with me so much?" Feng Yao put down the teapot and stared at her with deep eyes.
What the hell is this? Jin Su secretly muttered in his heart.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Feng Yao continued, "My body is indeed fine, but my heart is like it has been stolen, and there is no moment of peace. You are the woman that my father loves, and I am the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have to worry about your reputation, even if I want you to be sleepless at night and unable to eat, I can only hide in the corner and look at you from a distance as comfort. ”
Belch...... Help, this painting style is too blunt! Just now, I was making tea with a serious and unsmiling attitude, why did I talk about love without blushing and heartbeat.
"Seeing you and Uncle Wang talking happily, I really can't poke my eyes blind. In more than twenty years, I have never had such strange feelings for anyone. You say, is this what the world calls lovesickness? At this time, Feng Yao's eyes were full of affection and helplessness.
Jin Su was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.
"That's it! I have said to you what I have done, and I have added to your troubles. Feng Yao blinked, sighed, hid the emotions in his eyes, and continued, "I'm going to the grassland in a few days, you are among the invitees, and when the grassland comes back, it's a triennial draft." If there are no accidents, you will be selected, how do you plan then? ”
"What does Your Highness mean by this? Didn't you keep saying that you would find a way to get rid of the emperor's thoughts? Besides, if I am elected to the palace as a concubine, how can I talk about being Prince Yao's concubine? Jin Su said without changing his face.
Feng Yao's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Are you still willing to be Prince Yao's princess?" ”
"I have promised Your Highness, I will not break my word!" Jin Su responded in a high-sounding manner, in fact, she knew very well in her heart that entering the palace as a concubine was the same as a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, besides, she promised to be the princess of Yao, just to help him find the highest position, and then she would retire after success, it is not impossible!
With Jinsu's words, Feng Yao was overjoyed, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and the joy flowed between his eyebrows.
When the atmosphere was so harmonious, Feng Yao specially asked Kong Qing to prepare the dishes, and said that she was eating fasting and chanting Buddha in Jianshan Temple these days, and everyone was emaciated, so she had to make up for it.
ate and drank until dark, and pulled her to play chess, without the slightest intention of letting her go. In this way, from dark to dawn, if Feng Yao hadn't gone back to the court, he would probably be reluctant to let her go.
As soon as I returned to Jianshan Temple, I heard Bai Zhi say that as soon as she left on the front foot yesterday, the Xiangfu sent a message on the back foot, but the messenger only said that An Xiayu asked him to come, but he did not say what it was.
Jin Su didn't think much about it, so he asked Bai Qi to pack up his things and prepare to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he and Bai Zhi went to say goodbye to Kong Yi and the abbot.
Because he didn't sleep all night, Jin Su just got into the carriage and fell asleep unconsciously, until the carriage returned to the prime minister's mansion, and his whole head was still dizzy.
"Miss, what did you do last night? Why do you seem to be tired? Bai Qi took Jinsu and walked inside, asking in a low voice.
"It's nothing, it's too much brain-draining to play chess all night, ah~" said, and yawned at a particularly timely time.
"Huh? It's boring! Bai Qi exclaimed.
"By the way, you will go to Xia Yu in a while and ask what is the matter?" Jin Su covered his mouth and yawned with sleepy eyes, and commanded.
"Miss, you better go back to the room and get a good night's sleep first, if the second miss can have anything important, she must be troubled by the Rosewood Courtyard again!" Bai Qi said disdainfully.
Since the three birds were poisoned by dim sum, Bai Qian's attitude towards An Xiayu has not been as good as before, although Jin Su saw it in his eyes, he felt that it was just Bai Qi's childishness for a while, and he didn't think much about it.
It wasn't until much later, when she looked back, that she realized that it was this star's resentment that created the situation where they turned against each other!
After returning to Hanlian Courtyard, Jinsu originally wanted to sit on the chair and wait for An Xiayu, but he didn't expect to fall asleep.
Seeing that Bai Qi didn't mean to call An Xiayu, Bai Zhi ordered, "Xing'er, you go to Yangwu Courtyard to find the second miss, just say that our young lady is back, and she is waiting for her at the moment!" ”
"Yes," Xing'er was about to leave after receiving the order, but she didn't want to, and was pulled by Bai Qi.
"Eh, don't leave yet, let me ask you, has anything happened in the house in the past few days since the young lady left?" Bai Qi asked.
"Uh-" Xing'er thought for a moment, then shook her head, and said, "No, everything is as usual!" A few days ago, the third lady and the third aunt had another fight, and they almost didn't burn the agarwood courtyard......"
"What about the second miss? Can the second lady be troubled? Bai Qi asked, but there was a little expectation in his tone, as if he wished that An Xiayu would be troubled.
"No," Apricot insisted.
Just when Bai Qian was disappointed, Xing'er suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Oh, oh, I remember, yesterday the Jin family came to propose marriage, and it seemed that the eldest son of the Jin family fell in love with the second lady, but was later rejected by the princess." ”
"Refused? Why? Bai Qi asked.
"I don't know, I heard the people in the courtyard over there, it seems that they plan to give the second lady to the third aunt as a companion room."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhi pulled Bai Qi's hand off Xing'er's body and scolded, "There is no boundary, don't talk nonsense, don't make trouble for Miss." Okay, go to Yangwu Courtyard to inform the second lady! ”
Xing'er was reprimanded, so she had to immediately shut up and run out with small steps.
It was Bai Qian, with a gloating expression, and sighed, "Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come." ”
"What do you say?" Bai Zhi scolded with a straight face.
"Huh-" Bai Qi stuck out his tongue and turned to run away.
By the time Jinsu woke up, the sky was already dark.
"Miss is awake?" Bai Qi exclaimed with a smile, put the dishes in her hand away, and beckoned her to come over for dinner.
Sitting at the table, Jinsu just picked up the chopsticks and asked, "How is Xia Yu?" Is it really being troubled? ”
"Miss, you can eat something first, come, this is your favorite charcoal-grilled pork ribs," said Bai Qi, who took a spare rib and put it in her bowl.
"You know what," Jin Su asked Bai Zhi instead.
"No, the second lady was not troubled, but her marriage with the Jin family was disturbed by the one in the Rosewood Academy."
"Did the Jin family come to the door to propose?" Jinsu asked.
"Well, I came here yesterday," Bai Zhi nodded, and continued, "but if you are so disturbed, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
"It's good if it doesn't work, if something goes wrong a day later, and it is said that it is our Miss Bao's matchmaker, then how can we get along with Miss Jin?" Bai Ji said indignantly.
"Bai Qi! It's getting more and more unruly! Bai Zhi rebuked with a cold face.
However, Jin Su was not angry at all, and dissuaded, "Forget it, what Bai Qi said is not unreasonable." This marriage is good, but if it doesn't work, it may not be a loss. As the saying goes, if you lose your horse, you don't know if you are blessed, and this is exactly the truth. ”
"However, in this way, the second miss is afraid that it will be ......" Before she finished speaking, she heard Xing'er shouting in the courtyard, "Second miss, why don't you go in?" ”
Jin Su immediately put down the chopsticks, personally went to the door to welcome An Xiayu in, and instructed Bai Qi to prepare a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks, so that An Xiayu could accompany her to eat.
"When did you come? It's so cold outside, why is there no sound? Jinsu quipped.
"It's also just arrived, don't worry," An Xiayu replied with a slight smile.
"Second Miss, come, let's have a cup of hot tea to warm up first!" Bai Zhi put the poured hot tea in front of An Xiayu, and then obediently stepped aside.
"You haven't eaten yet, come on, let's go together, I'm not an outsider, what are you doing so restrained? Instead, I was embarrassed. An Xiayu greeted Bai Zhi.
Since An Xiayu said so, Jin Su invited Bai Zhi and Bai Qi to sit down and eat together.
As soon as he ate two bites, Jin Su asked softly, "......What is the matter of the Jin family?"
Before she finished speaking, An Xiayu smiled and said, "It's okay, although the eldest sister has a heart, but the eldest sister is not the eldest sister who is in charge of the house after all, I know." ”
"Xia Yu ......" Jin Su originally wanted to comfort her, but An Xiayu didn't give her a chance at all.
"Oh, it's okay, fate is determined, you and I are mere mortals, what can we change?" Although An Xiayu said this with a smile, between the words, there was helplessness and sadness.
"Xia Yu, you are said so, people will win the day, I promised you, I will help you find the Ruyi Langjun, if you are really interested in the eldest son of the Jin family, we can think of other ways! It's a good thing, but don't give up on yourself! Jin Su comforted.
"Forget about the Jin family's affairs, if there is a fate, the eldest sister doesn't have to worry about it anymore. If I really have someone I want in the future, the eldest sister will help me fight again! Anxia Yudao.
"Good!" After speaking, Jin Su gently patted An Xiayu's hand as a comfort.
After that, the two of them chatted while eating, which was nothing more than a fight between An Yasheng and Tang Rongshu. It wasn't until late at night that An Xiayu left Hanlian Courtyard.
Out of everyone's sight, An Xiayu quickly put away the smile on his face and replaced it with a look full of anger.
Perhaps, she once naively thought that Jinsu would forgive her regardless of her previous suspicions, and even her own lifelong events were willing to let her arrange. But now, she doesn't believe in anyone, if everyone in the world is climbing high and stepping low, then she must be the one who is high and high!
