Chapter 49: Love

As soon as dawn Zimo sneaked into Si Zhen's room to bring Frostfall out, and as soon as Li Jingxi's carriage came out of the palace gate, Frostfall took the token Zimo gave her to deceive the guards who said that she was the palace maid of Guan Ju Palace, Concubine Zhuang left something, she wanted to send it over quickly, and the guards saw that her token was indeed owned by Guan Ju Palace, and Concubine Zhuang's car had just gone out not long ago, so she told Frost to go back quickly. As soon as Frostfall left the palace gate, he quickly chased in the direction of the carriage, and Zimo estimated that the time was almost up, and deliberately pretended to forget to bring something and turned back, and quickly moved her to a safe place as soon as he met with Frostfall.

Zimo handed over the frost to Ah Mo who came to contact her in an inn, and hurried to Li's mansion after a few words of greeting Ah Mo, she was afraid that she would be suspicious of Li Qianxi if she returned late. When Zimo arrived at Li's house, Li Jingxi and Liuli had already arrived for a while, Li Jingxi really asked her what she had left behind, Zimo was originally lying, and in a hurry, she fumbled in her sleeve and found an ivory relief pendant, isn't this the amulet that Xianyuan Shao gave her? How can you bring it with you? No matter, that's it! Zimo tied the talisman to his belt and explained with a smile: "The slave maid just went back to get this talisman, and if you don't wear it on your body, the slave maid will not be practical, and I was too busy to forget it this morning." ”

"It seems that this amulet means a lot to you." Li Jingxi just said it casually, but Liuli refused to let go and teased her: "It can't be sent by a merry gentleman, right?" Liuli smiled ambiguously, and Li Jingxi also looked at Zimo suspiciously. Zimo couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of Xianyuan Shao's madman being said by Liuli to be a merry man: "Ha, don't make trouble!" He's not a romantic gentleman, he's just a ......" Zimo just wanted to say that he was a complete madman, but suddenly reacted that he almost missed his mouth, and quickly lied: "He is a very good friend, a friend like an elder brother who grew up together." Zimo apologized to Mo in his heart while making up nonsense, I'm sorry, I really shouldn't compare the good Ah Mo with that stinky boy.

Zimo pulled the topic farther and farther away, until it came to the marriage of the Zhu and Xian families, and when it came to the beginning, Liuli and Zimo also imagined the grand scene of the wedding day. Seeing that the two little girls were very interested, Li Jingxi suddenly came up with an idea, she definitely couldn't show up to attend the wedding, but her father Li Jian would definitely go, so it was better to let the two girls bring gifts to congratulate her on her behalf. As soon as this proposal came out, Liuli was the first to raise her hands in favor, and Zimo was secretly happy.

Before Zimo entered the palace, she liked to eat Babao Zhai's signature snacks Babao Rabbit Ding and Qiqiao Dim Sum, but now the gluttonous worms in her stomach are drilling up vigorously, so she begged Li Jingxi to allow her to go out of the house later to buy some to satisfy her hunger. Li Jingxi became more and more indulgent to Zimo, to a greater extent than Liuli, and immediately agreed, but told her to be careful, Zimo made a fist clenching action to show that her self-protection ability was extremely strong, Li Jingxi smiled helplessly with her.

As soon as the sky was slightly darkened, Zimo embarked on her road of finding food. She first came to Babaozhai to buy her favorite snacks and snacks; I also bought some two-color bean paste roll cakes that Liuli likes in a few shops nearby; Thinking of Li Jingxi's favorite snack - the flower blossom rich jade celery shrimp dumplings are only sold in Zuixiangju Restaurant, so he went to Zuixiangju with a full harvest in both hands.

Zuixiangju is still doing thriving business as always, the private rooms are full, and there are several people who share tables, Zimo originally wanted to try their new Xianren Belly (stewed chicken with milk) and pineapple gummies, but now it seems that they have to pack them together.

"The shopkeeper, two drawers of rich flowers, jade celery, shrimp dumplings, a cactus and a pineapple fudge are packed and taken away." Zimo was waiting in front of the counter, and the shopkeeper responded with a smile, and told Xiao Er to go to the back kitchen to help the guests prepare food.

"Tsk, you have these old things in your hand, and you are not afraid to die if you order so much?" This familiar and stubborn voice is none other than Xian Ershao, Zimo doesn't have to look back to know that it is him.

"The shopkeeper, only pack the shrimp dumplings, send the other two dishes to this son's private room, and then a pot of green plum wine, all of which will be recorded in this son's account, thank you." Zimo turned around and was about to go upstairs, but was stopped by Xianyuan Shao and said, "Hey, the master didn't ask for a private room, just a loose seat by the window over there, do you like to come." As he spoke, he let go of Zimo's arm and awkwardly took the lead back to his seat. Zimo covered his mouth and instructed the shopkeeper: "I'm sorry, just send it to the table over there, but the money still has to be recorded in the fairy boy's account." The shopkeeper still nodded his head again and again.

Zimo deliberately rubbed into his table with Xian Yuanshao's awkward appearance and sat down opposite him. Xian Yuanshao wrinkled his nose and let out a loud snort. Zimo wanted to tease this little overlord: "Hmph, what? It's not a pig. ”

"Do you dare to scold the master for being a pig? You conscienceless girl, you haven't seen each other for more than eight months, and you scold me as soon as you meet? Anyway, I still remember your foot injury, but you don't even ask me how I'm doing! Xian Yuanshao said this quite aggrieved, and those who didn't know thought he was coquettish.

Zimo was very grateful for his concern, so he greeted him as he wished: "That immortal...... How has the general been doing these months? ”

"Not good! The eldest brother returned with the troops to suppress the bandits, and he was promoted and married, and he was very proud! The old man praised him and belittled me every day at home, and asked me to learn from my eldest brother, not to cause trouble all day long, and to start a family as soon as possible is the right way. Xian Yuanshao looked depressed, and stuffed the pineapple gummies brought by Xiao Er into several mouthfuls. In fact, according to Xian Yuanshao's twenties, it is already very powerful to be able to achieve the official position from the fourth grade, maybe General Xianda's requirements for his son are too high.

"Eh, you're still young, take your time, and you'll be able to be like your father in the future. How old are you this year? Why don't you marry yet? Zimo just wanted to change the topic to make him feel better, and he regretted it as soon as he said it, because this topic just poked at another sore spot of Xianyuan Shao.

"Twenty-three, what's wrong?" Xian Yuanshao's face became even more ugly, and he simply turned his head and looked angry.

"Nothing! Isn't your brother just getting married now, isn't he a few years older than you? You...... No problem. Zimo really couldn't think of any words to comfort Xian Yuanshao. His brother twenty-six or seven did not marry a wife in order to make meritorious contributions and not consider it for the time being; And he has been entrusted by his father to protect the media since he was twenty years old, and the woman's family heard that he was the second son of the "demon king" of the fairy family, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was frightened! Some parents would rather marry their daughters to flat-headed officials than respond to this family business, so angry that Xian Moyan blew his beard and glared at Xian Yuanshao. Later, Xian Moyan simply didn't care, and was ready to accept his youngest son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. And Xian Yuanshao himself is also an unenlightened person, and he is very slow in the love between men and women, so he has not discussed marriage until now.

"Anyway, the old man said that he doesn't care about my marriage in the future, as long as I am optimistic and the other party is willing, even if he marries a deaf and blind beggar, he will follow me. The master didn't believe it, and he wanted to find a good woman with bright ears and eyes and a dignified appearance to show them! As she spoke, she glanced at Zimo embarrassedly, but Zimo didn't see it, because her attention was completely attracted by a man and a woman on the street.

The woman was dressed in a well-textured ancient smoke pattern Bixia Luo robe, and the green snow with fragrant hairpins on her head was very valuable; The man was wearing a moon white cloud brocade robe, and was choosing jewelry in front of the shop of Zhen Cui Zhai at this time. Zimo's eyesight is excellent, she saw that the man bought a string of pearl bracelets and wore them on the woman's wrist, the green skirt and white beads lined with the woman's radiant complexion were very good-looking.

"Hey, isn't that Bai Yuexiao and his new daughter-in-law? In the end, it is the newlywed Yan'er, and there is such a pleasure to go shopping together. Xian Yuanshao's eyesight was no worse than Zimo's, but his tone was inevitably a little sour when he said this. That's right, this man and woman are Bai Yuexiao and Miao Lu, who got married half a year ago.

"Bai Yuexiao? Do you know? "This name Zimo is not very familiar, and I don't think it is a high-ranking official.

"Bai Yuexiao, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, the uncle of King Jin, don't you know? From the broken official of the fifth grade, it is still given on the face of King Jin. Xian Yuanshao was quite disdainful. I have long heard that the queen released the big girl Miaolu next to her in February, but I didn't expect to become a married young woman so soon, and she was married to Bai Yuexiao, the uncle of the King of Jin. Miaolu married a low-key marriage, if it weren't for what he saw with his own eyes today, Zimo wouldn't know who the groom was. What kind of thoughts the queen has is really intriguing.

"As soon as he is a fifth-grade official, he shouldn't be high, right? If you look at their outfits and the jewelry they bought for his wife, they don't feel distressed at all. With such a luxurious life, Zimo didn't believe that no one behind it was secretly funded.

"Cut, where is his Yulu, it's all some people who want to pay homage to the Feng clan and the King of Jin." With his fourth-rank official rank, he didn't dare to spend as much as Bai Yuexiao and his wife. Zimo pretended to understand and nodded, and changed the topic again: "You are twenty-three years old this year, but your temperament is like a teenager, and I don't blame General Xian for wanting you to learn more from your brother's stability." By the way, what date was your birthday? ”

"The tenth day of May." Xianyuan Shaohun didn't care about pouring a large glass of green plum wine that Zimo wanted and drank it all, it was sweet and sour, and he didn't rush the jade mallet he liked: "There is no taste, what kind of broken wine did you order?" Zimo rolled his eyes in his heart, girls just like this sweet and sour taste, no wonder this guy doesn't have a woman's love, it's really a reckless thing who doesn't understand the amorous feelings!

"You call it 'a bottle full of heart, and the taste of the wine is only three thirds.'" [ "Nine Songs of Drinking - The Taste of Wine"] I don't know what 'the elixir and jade liquid are empty in the end, and the turbid mash taste of the wine is the truest. Come, for the sake of the two of us born on the same day and in the same month, drink a big white again! "Zimo is an orphan, she was picked up by Qin Ming as a maid when she was a child, she didn't know her real birthday, and only regarded the day when the master of the Qin Mansion gave her a name as her birthday.

"What bullshit poetry, don't chew words with the master...... Eh, wait! You are also born on the 10th day of the fifth month? What a coincidence! This is fate! Xianyuan Shao seemed to have heard some terrible news, and he was so excited that he stood up and held Zimo's hands tightly, so he just burst into tears, hugged his head and cried. Xian Yuanshao's movements were too big, causing the surrounding customers to throw curious or ambiguous glances at the two of them, which made Zimo goosebumps, she quickly withdrew her palm and pressed Xian Yuanshao back to her seat and said, "Don't shout, make everyone uncomfortable, sit down." Xian Yuanshao obviously didn't think so, and muttered after sitting down: "You didn't wear men's clothes today, and you're not afraid of being misunderstood by others as Cheng Long Yangjun, what's uncomfortable." Zimo just didn't hear anything, and after eating the delicacies, he said that it was time to leave, Xianyuan Shao had to send Zimo to the vicinity of the Li Mansion, and Zimo did whatever he wanted after trying to excuse himself to no avail.
