In the past two days, Bai Ziyi has not rested at her place, but occasionally passes by for a cup of tea, chats a few words and leaves. According to the little clever girl Xiaolan and the maids chatting with the maids-in-law, Bai Ziyi has no longer stayed in Qiutang Courtyard since she was newly married. What does this Bai Ziyi mean? Tomorrow is the day to return to the door, and if he snubs Zheng Rui like this, he is not afraid that his county magistrate will come to him to settle accounts.

And he ...... What do you think about yourself?

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhi was shocked, did she care what Bai Ziyi thought of her? Originally, she was just forced to be a concubine, she only asked her mother to have a place to live, and she didn't have much expectations for her life in Baifu. Now she is paying more and more attention to Bai Ziyi's every move, and she can't help but look forward to Bai Ziyi's gentleness more and more. But she also knew clearly that her identity and pattern of coming here had long been destined, and that kind of expectation might only make her uncomfortable.

Zheng Zhi raised her eyes and looked at a cosmos planted in the fine porcelain bottle, this cosmos that was a flower bone two days ago, has bloomed pink petals today, promoting its beauty and fragrance. Xiao Lan is not wrong, it is really more beautiful than the first cosmos that Bai Ziyi picked at the beginning.

"Miss, grandma is invited." Xiao Lan's voice broke Zheng Zhi's thoughts.

Zheng Zhi was a little surprised, after coming to Baifu, this was the first time Zheng Rui took the initiative to find her.

When I came to Qiutang Courtyard, as soon as I entered the wing, I saw Zheng Rui lying lazily on the beauty couch, only pulling her hair at will, seemingly pretending to sleep, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly. Yuhuan beside her called her grandmother softly, Zheng Rui slowly opened her eyes, she didn't look at Zheng Zhi, she just asked Zheng Zhi to serve tea, and then dismissed her subordinates. When the maids all went out, Zheng Rui glanced up at Zheng Zhi.

This glance surprised Zheng Zhi, Zheng Rui's eyes were full of confusion, and her originally cold expression was relaxed for a moment, and it seemed that she had been bullied, and she had no demeanor at all. Is this still the rumored arrogant Jiangnan girl Zheng Rui?

Zheng Zhi asked tentatively, "My sister is homesick?"

When Zheng Rui raised her head again, she had already hidden her emotions, her expression returned to arrogance and coldness, she looked at her fingertips that had been dyed with Kodan, and said lightly: "Tomorrow is the day to go back, I want my sister to go back with me." “

It stands to reason that those who are concubines don't have to go back, Zheng Zhi heard Zheng Rui say this, and then thought about her previous expression, but she was no longer surprised.

"Just don't tell my dad about my situation in Baifu these days." Zheng Rui stared at Zheng Zhi intently and said.

"Why is that?" Zheng Zhi originally thought that Zheng Rui asked her to go back together to help her complain to Zheng Jiangde, and if she did so, it would be natural, and the purpose of Zheng Zhi's visit was to help Zheng Rui consolidate her position in Baifu.

"Bai Ziyi, he has done a good job, but I ......," Zheng Rui said softly, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Don't you like Bai Ziyi?" Zheng Zhi blurted out and asked.

Zheng Rui's expression was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect Zheng Zhi to ask like this. But then she snorted lightly and didn't answer Zheng Zhi's question again.

In the end, the conversation between the two ended with Zheng Rui's send-off.

On the way back, Zheng Zhi felt that Zheng Jiangde and Zheng Rui, the two fathers and daughters, were really a bit alike, but they would be unpleasant.

On the day of returning to the gate, the prefect sent a carriage to wait outside the gate of Baifu early. Bai Ziyi has prepared many valuable gifts, including silk treasures that are famous in the city under his own banner. Master Bai's concubine Qian kept calling his subordinates to carry these items.

Master Bai has been busy with business since Bai Ziyi got married, and rarely stayed in the house, and he didn't let Bai Ziyi take care of too many business matters during this time. In Zheng Zhi's opinion, Master Bai wanted to give his son a vacation, so that he could have a good experience of the newlywed Yan'er.

The preparation for returning to the door this time should be that Master Bai ordered the Qian family to help. This Qian family usually doesn't show up much because of his humble status, and he is relatively peaceful. Today, I am uncharacteristically extraordinarily active, busy and busy, faintly like the head of the housewife.

Bai Ziyi watched coldly, and slowly walked in front of Qian: "Aunt Qian, I think these are enough, let the subordinates stop being busy." ”

Qian is about 30 years old, but with proper care, the skin on his face is still firm and white, and he looks very young. She smiled awkwardly when she heard this: "I originally wanted to earn face for Baifu, so I asked someone to take so many gifts." Now that the eldest prince thinks it is enough, it is enough. Qian immediately asked his subordinates to take back the remaining unpacked gifts and carry the selected products into the car.

Because there were too many gifts, the carriage originally prepared for Zheng Zhi was also loaded with silk cloth, but Zheng Zhi could only sit opposite Zheng Rui and Bai Ziyi in the big carriage in front of him.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little silent and awkward, and none of the three spoke. Bai Ziyi first took a book and looked at it calmly, only occasionally heard the sound of turning the book. Zheng Rui kept turning her head to look out the window. She dressed up very grandly today, and there were two gilded step shakes on her head, and the tassels on the step shook slightly next to Zheng Rui's beautifully dressed cheeks, lining her skin as delicate as white porcelain.

Zheng Zhi, who had nothing to do, couldn't help but look at Zheng Rui twice. Perhaps noticing Zheng Zhi's gaze, Zheng Rui also turned her head, her gaze stayed around Zheng Zhi for a while, and said, "It's good to go back to the door, my sister is wearing too simple today, don't let Aunt Huang think that you have been bullied in the Bai family!" This tone and expression are obviously still the proud magistrate of the past, Zheng Zhi can't help but wonder if the faintly sad Zheng Rui yesterday is not a mistake in her dazzle.

"My sister doesn't know, I've always been dressed like this in the county government, if I suddenly wear gold and silver and change sex, it will cause people to be suspicious." And I don't want to steal the limelight from you and make Zheng Jiangde mistakenly think that I am going to fight with you for something. Zheng Zhi swallowed the second half of the sentence in her stomach.

Zheng Rui sneered when she heard this, then ignored Zheng Zhi, and turned her head to look out the window through the half-lifted curtain.

And that Bai Ziyi kept looking at the book on the side, as if the book was so good-looking that he didn't even hear the conversation between his two wives and concubines just now, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

Zheng Zhi admired Bai Ziyi's calm and relaxed. In the past, when she lived in the Zheng clan, she could always see the helpless and bored expressions of her aunts and uncles when they were arguing over trivial matters.

Just when Zheng Zhi thought that they would continue to reach the county magistrate's mansion silently, Bai Ziyi, who had been reading with relish, suddenly put away the book, he looked at Zheng Zhi casually, and then a clear voice sounded: "Last time I told you that I wanted to add some flowers to your room, this time an account room under the business sent the hydrangea cultivated by himself, I looked very happy, so I asked someone to decorate your room, I think you can see it when you go back." ”

Zheng Zhi's heart jumped, why did he suddenly talk about this at this time?

"Will the account office under the Xianggong also plant flowers?" Zheng Rui turned his head.

Bai Ziyi hummed softly, "He has a field in the suburbs, and he usually likes the elegance and prosperity of hydrangeas, so he will cultivate some good varieties by himself." ”

Zheng Rui was about to say something more, but seeing that Bai Ziyi didn't mean to continue, she just gave up. It's not good to ask Bai Ziyi for flowers in front of Zheng Zhi, it would be too much of a loss of identity.
