"Don't think I don't know, isn't that Xiyi kid?" Liu stared at Hatsu Tao's expression to prove that his judgment was correct.

Hatsu Tao was still silent.

Liu said bitterly: "My mother is from the past, I know your little thoughts, don't you just don't want to get married?" You have been naughty since you were a child, and your father and I don't care much about you, I just want you to grow up and change your temperament, you are different from Sister Sakura and Sister Ju, they both have hearts, you are different from them, you are simple and easy to be used by people with other intentions. Why don't you use your little brain to think about it, what kind of person is Xue Congjia, it was your grandfather who charged into battle back then, all the way to Shangluo Pass, if it weren't for our insufficient troops, only separated by the city wall, Xiyi would become our Dongyi, and now the saint will complete the great cause of dominating the world. ”

"In order to seek peace, the emperor of Xiyi took the initiative to give Xue Congjia to me Dongyi as a hostage, can he not hate our Jiang family in his heart? He may be a high-ranking prince in Xiyi, but when it comes to our territory, he is just a chess piece, a bargaining chip to maintain the stability of the two countries. Maybe it will be another ten or twenty years before he will be able to go home. I don't care what kind of thoughts you have, you can't get too close to such a person, our Jiang family holds military power, and the royal family is most jealous of people of our status colluding with foreign ministers, and if you are not careful, you will be killed, can you understand? ”

Chu Tao snorted: "Actually, my daughter ...... I just want to borrow him to avoid marriage......"

Half of the stone in Liu's heart fell, she was afraid that Chu Tao would fall in love with Xue Congjia at the beginning of her love, then this matter would not be easy to do, hearing Chu Tao say this, she felt confident that she would be able to match Chu Tao and Sun Yihao together.

Liu half persuaded and half coaxed: "Sun Yihao's grandfather followed your grandfather to the north and south, the two families have always had a very good relationship, especially Sun Yihao, my mother also watched him grow up, this child's character is outstanding, and looking at Mrs. Sun's meaning, he is infatuated with you, why don't you want such a good marriage?" ”

"I don't want to get married so early...... "Chu Tao still resisted.

Liu said: "You settle down first, let us be our fathers and mothers and rest assured, let you make a marriage, and don't marry now." Don't worry, your mother will settle the matter of sneaking out for you, and she will never let others gossip. ”

"Mother......" Chu Tao panicked, but Liu firmly and forcefully pressed Chu Tao's shoulder with his hand, and said: "It's not too early, you rest early, you go back to Jichang Garden tomorrow, I will find Concubine Zhen Niangniang to explain to the emperor another day, you will come back next year to get married." ”

But mother, I don't know what's wrong with me, when I open my eyes, I think of Xue Congjia, and when I close my eyes, I still think of Xue Congjia.

Chu Tao, who returned to Yingzhou Island, was depressed for many days, she kept thinking about what her mother told her, not thinking about tea and dinner, and she would calm down and read the books that Mr. Zhu asked her to memorize, and no longer cope with homework. This change in attitude made Xue Zicheng cry out to hell. Xue Zicheng still teased her from time to time, but Xile often pestered Chu Tao to learn to dance, and Chu Tao also taught her seriously.

It's just that one day Xile's biological mother, Concubine De, came to visit Xile, and the conversation between the two walking in the garden was heard by Chu Tao. Concubine De said that the first peach looks eighty percent similar to Concubine Zhen, and she is very charming. Xile said that Chu Tao's dance was really good, and one day she would let her go as soon as she learned it.

Hatsu Tao pursed her lips and said nothing.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the number of times she and Xue Congjia have met is only a handful, the last time the two broke up unhappily, Chu Tao was embarrassed to go to his Qizhu Pavilion to swing again, every time she walked near the Qizhu Pavilion, she always went back like a thief.

Xiaohong, who was beaten half to death for Chu Tao, said very regretfully: "I thought that Xue Congjia and Miss were in love, and Mrs. beat the mandarin ducks, but I didn't expect that our Miss was just using others as a shield." ”

Chu Taoxin said, does Xue Congjia think the same way?

Without the first peach ginseng and between Xue Congjia and Xile, Xile entangled Xue more tightly, and from then on, the swing in the Qizhu Pavilion was no longer exclusive to the first peach, but was replaced by Xile's silver bell-like laughter, what did she do in the Qizhu Pavilion? What did she do with Xue Congjia? Hatsumomo didn't want to know at all.

It's winter, but the first peach that should be fattened has suffered a lot, and for some reason, Xiaohong always feels that the round dark eyes on her pale face are wet. It snowed heavily on this day, and the frozen lake was like a thick quilt, and the snowflakes fluttered and fell from the dim sky, and the biting wind howled, and the heavens and the earth were connected.

Mr. Zhu suffers from a leg disease and always has difficulty moving in rainy and snowy days, so he will not teach today. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Chu Tao held an oil-paper umbrella, a white fox fur cloak, and a soup woman in her arms, quietly watching the snow outside the door.

Xiao Zi added charcoal to the red clay stove, and simmered plum wine on it, drinking some wine on such a cold day can warm up the body. Xiaohong looked at Chu Tao's thin background with some concern, she had served Chu Tao for so long and it was the first time she had seen her so thin, her original round face was full of simplicity and cuteness, and now she has become more beautiful and mature, ah, what the people in the house said is really right, Miss is really the first beauty in Jinling.

What kind of blow did the young lady go through, so she would be so depressed!

Is this Xue Congjia blind? Miss is so beautiful, lively and cute, how can there be a man who doesn't like it? Xiao Zi was indignant. Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi muttered and discussed for a while, determined to help Jiang Chutao and Xue Congjia reconcile.

They persuaded Chu Tao to go to the garden farther away to see the red plum, taking advantage of the snow to enjoy the plum is a great thing in the world, the first peach lazily refused, Xiaohong said that she buried a few jars of good wine in the plum garden, to wait for the first peach to dig out, the first peach thought about it, re-poured the soup woman and followed them to the plum garden, because the wind and snow were too big, the first peach was confused and couldn't see the road clearly, so it was taken by the two maids to Xue Congjia's perched bamboo pavilion.

The Qizhu Pavilion, which is as quiet as snow on weekdays, is very lively tonight, the lanterns outside are shining brightly, the candlelight in the house is translucent, and the sound of silk and bamboo is constantly heard, accompanied by the laughter of Princess Xile, and the voice of the fourth master is carefully distinguished: "Arou, the wine you brought is really good!" ”

Xile smiled: "If it's not a good wine, how dare you give it to you!" ”

And Xue Ziyong said: "This is really good wine!" ”

Chu Tao's face was white, this is not a plum garden, this is clearly Xue Congjia's perched bamboo pavilion!

Xiaohong and Xiaozi didn't expect Xile and the others to be inside, and they snorted awkwardly: "How did you get here, it's all because the wind and snow are too big to see the road clearly." Miss, let's go back. ”

As soon as Xiaohong finished speaking, the wind that swept the snowflakes blew over the lantern in her hand. Chu Tao stared blankly at the open space in front of the Qizhu Pavilion, the bamboo forest was still there, but the big swing shelf was gone.

Did he hate himself to this point? His eyes were sour, and tears fell on the fur collar of the first peach. The scene of her sitting on the swing is still vivid, and the white snow at this time is mixed with Xile's delicate voice, which becomes extremely ironic.

People from two worlds......

Hatsu Tao turned around and left.

She never wants to come here again!

"Don't want your lanterns?" An extremely familiar voice came from behind Chu Tao, she turned around sharply, and saw Xue Congjia behind her back with one hand, picking up the lantern they had just dropped with the other, Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi took a few steps back with interest.

Hatsu Tao took the lantern and said, "Thank you." ”

Tonight, Xile pulled Xue Ziwen over to him for a drink, and after a few drinks, he saw a familiar figure through the hazy window. Without much thought, he hurried out.

Jiang Chutao is really amazing, she can become a ball in a short period of time, and she can also be as thin as a malnourished kitten in the same time.

Lighting the lantern again, Xue Congjia saw Chu Tao's watery eyes and the tear stains on his face, he frowned and said, "What are you crying about?" ”

Chu Tao's tears fell again, and said, "What about the big swing?" The tears flowed loudly, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"I pushed it off." Xue Congjia replied succinctly, but he didn't tell Chu Tao about the latter words, Xile always came over to swing, and he was annoyed, so he simply pushed it away.

"Do you hate me that much?" Chu Tao sobbed and said, "Although you hate me, don't resent that swing, the swing is good, what are you going to do if you push it off." ”

Xue Congjia was a little aggrieved, and he pushed his swing if he wanted to, did he still have to go through her consent? He didn't care about her using herself as a shield, why was she still wronged like this? What's going on in this girl's head?

"I don't hate you." Xue Congjia said.

"You don't hate me, why did you push the swing off?" Chu Tao asked rhetorically.

"......" Xue Congjia hated this kind of nonsensical conversation, he could only say helplessly: "Wait for spring, I'll find someone to tie a new one, is it okay?" ”

Chu Tao immediately stopped crying: "Then don't lie to me, I can still come here to play on the swing." ”

"Whatever you want." Xue Congjia was upset and agreed indiscriminately.

"Can I go in and have a drink with you?" After Chu Tao finished speaking, he walked into the Qizhu Pavilion by himself.
