Chu Tao was very satisfied and walked to the lake with a full head of cherry blossoms, she also came here for another purpose, that is, to find a place to hide her small vault, if she really fled outside, it was not safe to have too much silver on her body, and it seemed more appropriate to secretly put some of it here.

There is a thick begonia flower tree by the lake is blooming lively at this time, the pink flowers are swaying with the wind, the spring breeze blows, the soft vines are in the wind, the weeping flowers are curling, the lake surface is thickly paved with a layer of fallen flowers, and even the water is reflected in pink. The grass on the shore is full of grass, and the tender green grass buds are mixed with countless small blue flowers like lamps, like a Persian blanket that costs a thousand gold.

Chu Tao's small vault is hidden under this begonia flower tree, because Chu Tao has a bad memory, and the obvious signs are easy for her to recognize. She squatted down and dug into the dirt on the ground with a small sharpened stick, because the soil was still moist after a few spring rains, and it was not difficult to dig up.

Tethered to a small boat with a canopy by the lake, Xue Congjia was lying on a lunch break. Xue Congjia has an unknown little habit, he doesn't like to sleep in bed - whether it is a tree branch, a boat or even a roof, he can sleep soundly, but the bed, but he will often wake up in his dreams, I don't know if it is because he is sick and has been in bed for too long.

So when the weather is good, Xue Congjia likes to find a quiet place to close his eyes and recuperate. It's not a coincidence, he met Chu Tao again.

Xue Congjia would never have thought that he really had nothing to do with Jiang Chutao, a little girl, since she punched herself last time, the relationship between the two had dropped to the lowest point.

But a few days later, she cheekily came to her own bamboo pavilion, and urged herself to give her a swing, or ran over with the articles in the book to ask herself questions, the most funny and angry thing for him was that once Xile took advantage of his absence to send a jar of linden honey, which she knew, and when he found out, the girl Chu Tao was holding the jar of honey and sending it to her mouth with a spoon and a mouthful......

She also often wrote to herself, often asking him some very unashamed words, such as "why do I feel so sad" and "do you know what I want", so Xue Congjia replied honestly, writing "You may not have anything to do on weekdays and are too idle" and "I really don't know what you want, you become too fast I can't keep up".

But she is different from Xile, Xile is obsessed with him, Jiang Chutao is more like a kitten who can't get the owner's favor, if she leaves, but scratches Xue Congjia from time to time, if Xue Congjia really ignores her, she can also have a lot of fun by herself.

Xue Congjia glanced at Chu Tao, who was digging the soil, and continued to close his eyes. This is the homework he has to do every day, and he quickly sketches a map of the entire Jichang Garden in his mind, and each path and road gradually converges into a complete tree like branches and trunks in his mind.

Mr. Zhu once told himself euphemistically that the power of the ancient hall of Xiyi leaned towards the government and the opposition, while his father's health was deteriorating......

He had to go back as soon as possible......

After Chu Tao buried the gold and silver treasures, he clapped his hands and got up after confirming that there was no one around, and stepped the upturned grass with his feet.

I don't know what's going on, Chu Tao vaguely felt some pain in his lower abdomen, falling and swollen, and even his waist was a little sore, Chu Tao thought, it must be that he has been studying too hard these days, so his waist is not good.

The first peach closed his eyes and sniffed a few mouthfuls of flowers, accompanied by the strong floral fragrance is the buzzing sound of the hardworking bees, probably enough honey from the begonia flowers, a few bees were attracted by the cherry blossoms on the head of the first peach, and they chased the head of the first peach to dip the nectar to eat.

Chu Tao hurriedly used his hand to catch the bee, a bee was frightened, directly pricked Chu Tao, a hot feeling spread from the fingertips to the entire palm, Chu Tao jumped back three or four steps, squeaked and stepped into the lake.

Xiaohong and Xiaozi hurriedly reached out to pull the first peach who fell into the water, shouting for help.

The lake is very deep, and Hatsu Tao can't swim, so she has choked on several mouthfuls of water. Xue Congjia heard the movement, jumped off the boat, and swam to Chu Tao's side, Chu Tao saw someone to rescue, desperately wanted to open her mouth to call for help, Xue Congjia grabbed her little hand, asked her to be honest, and grabbed Chu Tao from behind, passed under Chu Tao's arm socket with one arm, buckled Chu Tao, and then swam to the shore with Chu Tao, at this time Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi held Chu Tao's hand on the shore and dragged her back to the shore.

Although the whole process was fast, Chu Tao still choked a lot of water, and after Xue Congjia climbed into the case from the lake, he first pinned the wet long hair wrapped around Chu Tao's face behind his ears, and then patted Chu Tao's face hard.

Wake up, stupid.

Xue Congjia scolded in his heart.

Chu Tao was motionless, and his face was pale.

Xue Congjia put Chu Tao flat on the ground, and he couldn't care so much at this time, he kept pressing Chu Tao's chest with both hands, and shouted while exerting force, you wake up, don't die, wake up quickly. When you wake up, I will never be annoyed with you again, I will tie you as many swings as you want, and I will not be annoyed as many times as you ask me questions, as long as you ...... Alive......

As long as you live......

The drops of water slid down his chin drop by drop, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or water, Xue Congjia's eyes were red, he was breathing violently, and the droplets in his hair were shaking and scattering with his undulating movements.

Chu Tao finally spit out two mouthfuls of water, and looked at the wet Xue Congjia and Xiao Hongxiao Zi who were crying with wide eyes in confusion, "It's good that you don't die......" Before she could react to what was happening, Xue Congjia picked her up almost rudely, and pressed Chu Tao's head into his arms, as if holding a lost and recovered rare treasure, Chu Tao heard Xue Congjia's strong and rapid heartbeat.

Without waiting for her to react, Chu Tao was pushed into Xiaohong's arms by Xue Congjia again.

The weather gradually warmed up, and the first peach was naturally thin, wearing a moon-white satin knitted pinched cardigan, because of the falling water, the clothes were tightly attached to the body, and the curves were exposed.

Xue Congjia finally realized that Chu Tao was a little girl!

He wanted to pull Hatsu Tao up, but in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of a mess of blood on the grass where Hatsu Tao was lying, where was she hurt? The backhand grabbed Chu Tao's wrist and put on his two fingers. Chu Tao also looked at his thighs with puzzled eyes, and suddenly thundered to the ground, this, this, this! Could it be that this is the legendary lunar event?!!!

This completely touched Xue Congjia's blind spot, he is a man, he has been living alone in the Qizhu Pavilion for so many years, so he naturally can't figure out the situation in front of him.

Xiaohong and Xiaozi naturally understood what happened to Chu Tao, Xiaohong blushed and drove Xue Congjia away, and Xiaozi and Xiao Zi carried Chu Tao up and prepared to send it back, Xue Congjia saw that Chu Tao looked really unsightly, so he had to take off his coat and hand it to Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong used his clothes to wrap Chu Tao casually in a few layers, and carried Chu Tao away.

The imperial doctor from Jichangyuan came to consult Chu Tao and specially prescribed a few pairs of calming medicines. Chu Tao has been wrapping herself in the futon since she took a bath, and Ren Xiaohong and Xiaozi refused to get out of the quilt no matter how much they persuaded her.

The first time I had a menstrual affair, I was seen by my sweetheart, and no matter how thick-skinned Chu Tao was, I would feel very embarrassed...... Why catch up with today...... Thinking of this, Chu Tao pulled the quilt a little bit on her face again, she touched her hot face, and then touched her lower abdomen with a faint pain, and her heart was filled with shame again.

Xiaohong said to Xiaozi: "Miss is already four out of ten years old, almost fifteen, and it's time to come." ”

Xiaozi said: "Yes, yes, before we came to accompany the study, Madame had already told the young lady about these things. ”

The two were muttering, and suddenly there was a call from Chu Tao, who got half of her head out of the quilt and said to Xiaohong, "I'm dying of thirst!" Go and pour me a glass of water! ”

Xiao Zi walked over and said, "Miss, come out, don't cover up!" It's not a big deal, every woman doesn't have to go through it! ”

Chu Tao hurriedly sat up and said, "Okay, okay, don't even mention it!" What about Xue Congjia's clothes? ”

Xiaohong said, "I have already washed it and dried it up." ”

Chu Tao nodded, her head was still as messy as paste, half tilting her back to empty herself, before she could adjust her thoughts, the palace maid outside reported that Concubine Zhen had come to visit Chu Tao who had fallen into the water.

Chu Tao barely cheered up, put on a set of freshly ironed clothes, tidied up her hair, because her gold and silver hairpins, step shake or something headdress were all taken out to exchange money, so Chu Tao had to scatter a green silk out to meet the guests, presumably Concubine Zhen came to the island to visit Xue Zicheng today, heard the news that she fell into the water, and came to see herself.

It was dinner time, Chu Tao left Concubine Zhen Niangniang to eat together, Concubine Zhen Niangniang walked in a hurry, the hairpin on her head was a little messy, although Chu Tao's face was a little pale, but people looked safe and sound, Concubine Zhen was relieved, she drove the people out, leaving only Chu Tao and herself.

Chu Tao asked obediently, did my aunt come from Xue Zicheng. Concubine Zhen shook her head, and instead asked Xue Zicheng if he had bullied herself.

Is throwing a caterpillar on her desk, plucking hairpins from her head, and telling ghost stories a bully? Forget it, she has a lot of adults, and Chu Tao looks down on those complaints the most, so she said very generously: "No, the eighth prince never bullied me." ”

Concubine Zhen sat on the chaise longue, propped up on the small table with one hand, and skimmed the tea leaves floating in the cup with the lid of the cup with the other. Concubine Zhen was drinking tea while looking at Chu Tao with a cautious eye, Chu Tao was stared at by her, so she had to ask flatteringly: "Does my aunt have something to say to Chu Tao?" ”

Concubine Zhen slowly opened her mouth and said, "Your mother wrote to me, asking me to open my mouth to the emperor and let you go back to the house as soon as possible to prepare for the dowry." ”

Why is the mother endless, she must be afraid that she will mess up, so she is locked at home and relieved. Chu Tao sneered: "Let my aunt see and laugh." ”

Concubine Zhen said: "I am not as good as your mother in other things, but in terms of choosing a son-in-law, your mother's vision is not as good as mine." Sun Yihao is the nephew of Concubine De, I have visited him a few times when he was a child, and I have no impression of him. My Jiang family and the Sun family, are the princelings of the year, in recent years have also made great achievements on the battlefield, my Jiang family's official titles are fought on the battlefield, with blood and sweat in exchange for today's peace, we are the door of the tiger general, Sun Yihao is the grandson of the infantry army Jiwei Sun Gongliang, the son must inherit his father's business, his talent is more than enough to take the test, and he can't afford the heavy responsibility of a general! Your mother wants to marry you to this person, I don't think it's appropriate. ”

To put it bluntly, Concubine Zhen thinks that Sun Yihao is just a boy with a belly full of ink, in recent years, the Xiyi Emperor has been declining, and the existing sons are all younger, and the slightly older prince is still detained in Dongyi as a proton, and the power of the court, Gu Zhongtang, is a typical warmonger, so the government of Xiyi has not been peaceful recently.

Perhaps, the smoke rises again, and the generals without talent will die ugly on the cruel battlefield, and it is really not safe for Chu Tao to marry him.

Chu Tao hurriedly said: "Even my aunt thinks it's inappropriate!" I have been filial piety for my grandfather for less than three years, and there is still room for maneuver in this matter. ”

"Concubine De heard that you got married, and specially added a lot of dowry gifts to you." Concubine Zhen picked up the teacup again and said unhurriedly.

It must be Xile! It's nonsense in front of Concubine De again! In this way, this marriage will be even more difficult to withdraw, damn Xue Yirou, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!

Now everyone is looking forward to marrying Sun Yihao, Chu Tao regarded Concubine Zhen in front of her as the only life-saving straw, she knelt down, kowtowed to Concubine Zhen, and said: "Tao'er is not willing to marry Sun Yihao, please help my aunt." ”

Concubine Zhen put down the tea in her hand and personally helped Chu Tao up, seeing that the child was becoming more and more beautiful, and she had the appearance of a captivating city without powder, she felt a sense of pride in her heart.

Concubine Zhen said gently: "Last Mid-Autumn Festival, did you enjoy the moon with Xue Congjiadeng Tower in order to force the Sun family to withdraw from the marriage?" ”

Chu Tao nodded and said, "Auntie is wise, but it's not just that. ”

"Because I'm kind of, no, I like him a lot." Hatsu Tao firmly said what was in her heart.

"Never!" Concubine Zhen slammed the table.
