Red plum silk handkerchief
On this day, Xiaolan quietly attached to Zheng Zhi's ear: "Miss, Zhuwang told me that the eldest prince will go to the shop in the morning these days, and he will be in the study after coming back at noon, and he will go to Qiutang Courtyard in the evening......."
Hearing this, Zheng Zhi squinted at Xiao Lan, and Xiao Lan seemed to have just remembered something: "Oh, oh, this second son of Ling, he usually comes to find the eldest prince in the afternoon." ”
Zheng Zhi nodded, and remembered something again: "When did you get so close to Zhu Wang?"
Xiao Lan stuck out her tongue, "Zhu Wang and I are both from Fengyang Mansion, and we can be regarded as fellow villagers, so naturally we will get closer, and Miss can rest assured of what he said." “
Zheng Zhi didn't say anything anymore, she carefully stroked the silk handkerchief in her hand, hoping that everything would go well.
The next day, Zheng Zhi took Xiaolan on the way to the study. This is the first time Zheng Zhi has gone out in so many days, except for asking An, she subconsciously tried to stay away from the study.
It was almost time, Xiao Lan began to stick her head out and look, and suddenly she called Zheng Zhi in a low voice. Zheng Zhi thought it was Ling Xiao coming, but when she looked back, she saw that there were three people coming, one of whom was wearing a satin gold thread skirt, and the fiery red cloak she was wearing outside fluttered in the wind.
The three people on the other side also saw them, as if they were a little surprised. At this time, it was too late to leave, and Zheng Zhi could only wait in place. When someone approached, Zheng Zhi saw Zheng Rui with a cold and arrogant expression. After Zheng Zhi finished saluting, Zheng Rui said lightly after a while: "Why is my sister here?" ”
Zheng Zhi could only stubbornly say, "It's too stuffy in my room, so I'll come outside to breathe." ”
Zheng Rui's leisurely voice came: "Oh? It turns out that my sister is afraid of stuffiness and heat? No wonder a few days ago, my sister was waiting outside this study wearing only a single dress. ”
After that, Yuhuan and Xiuyan beside Zheng Rui secretly covered their mouths and smiled.
Zheng Rui waited for a while, and when she saw that Zheng Zhi lowered her head and said nothing, she pulled her cloak, "Okay, sister, you breathe slowly outside, I'm going to send bird's nest to Xianggong." Zheng Rui walked forward with her head tilted, and the cloak behind her was blown to a rattle. She had regained her usual pride.
"Miss, don't take it personally." After the three of them left, Xiao Lan carefully looked at Zheng Zhi's face beside her.
Zheng Zhi shook her head slightly. The scene of her waiting in the study that day, everyone in this Bai Mansion should know it. In the eyes of others, she is the concubine who is not favored in the end, and how many people will laugh at her inadequacy behind her back.
"Miss, look, it seems that Ling Ergongzi is here." Xiao Lan excitedly reminded Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi's mind was a little messy now, her emotions were still immersed in the atmosphere just now, and she was a little annoyed that Ling Xiao came so quickly. But since he came, he had to finish what he promised, Zheng Zhi stroked the square silk handkerchief in his sleeve.
Ling Xiao, who was hurrying in the distance, walked in a hurry and didn't notice them. When there was still five steps away from Zheng Zhi and the others, Ling Xiao was still walking briskly with his head down, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.
Xiao Lan saw that this Second Master Ling was about to walk over like this, so she jumped in front of him in a hurry, and at the same time, a smile was already on her face, and a crisp voice sounded: "Slave maid to Second Master Ling to say goodbye." ”
Ling Xiao was startled by the figure that suddenly burst out, and he immediately stopped his steps. If this was outside, in this case, he who had practiced martial arts might have already made a move.
Ling Xiao looked at the little girl in front of him unhappily: "What a boldness, dare to stand in the way of this son!" “
"Second Prince Ling is angry, Xiao Lan collided with you, but I was not strict in discipline. It's just that I have something to ask for, can Childe take a step to speak? Zheng Zhi also walked over.
Ling Xiao heard a familiar gentle voice, raised his eyes and saw Zheng Zhi, who he hadn't seen for a long time, he didn't say anything when he wanted to have a seizure.
Zheng Zhi took Ling Xiao to a remote and secluded bamboo forest, and he followed without asking anything.
Zheng Zhi looked at Ling Xiao who was stunned, and thought to herself, was she too abrupt? There is no way to do this, the female relatives are very evasive when they see other men in private, she can only wait for the rabbit to make this decision, and she wants to finish talking as soon as possible and leave.
"Second Prince Ling, today I am entrusted by the third young lady to hand over a thing to you, I think, when you see this thing, you will understand her intentions." Zheng Zhi took out the red plum silk handkerchief from his sleeve.
Ling Xiao, who was originally stunned, suddenly raised his thick eyebrows in confusion: "Third Miss?"
Zheng Zhi was puzzled by Ling Xiao's rhetorical question: "Yes, Miss Baifusan." Although the third lady is married but not married, she has been confined to the house for you these days, so I am here to let Ling Ergongzi understand her intentions. With that, Zheng Zhi handed the silk handkerchief to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao looked at the silk handkerchief and didn't reach out to pick it up, his expression seemed to be a little disappointed, and then he smiled inexplicably: "Loved by the third lady, this son doesn't dare to be it." It's just that I have only met the third lady twice, and I haven't said anything, I don't know why the third lady refused to marry for this reason, and was grounded, which is absolutely unacceptable. I also asked my sister-in-law to tell the third lady not to do such a stupid thing. With that, he turned and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute, does Second Prince Ling really have no intention of Third Miss? Or is it because the third lady has a marriage contract......"
Before Zheng Zhi finished speaking, Ling Xiao suddenly turned around and interrupted her: "What if there is a marriage contract, if the person I like is married, even if she is married, if she wants to be with me, I will take the risk of accepting her." Mrs. Sister-in-law, I have already made it very clear that the third lady's kindness is understood by my son, but that's all. ”
Zheng Zhi was choked by Ling Xiao's snatching, and she slowly withdrew her hand holding the silk handkerchief. There was a sudden unspeakable sourness in my heart, I was depressed by Zheng Rui's remarks earlier, and now this is the situation again. Looking down at the red plum handkerchief in his hand, Zifei finally fell into the flowers and was ruthless. Unconsciously, tears slipped from the corners of his sour eyes. Ling Xiao hadn't left at this time, and Zheng Zhi, who was shocked to lose her temper, quickly grabbed an object in her hand and wiped her eyes. When I took it down, I saw that the silk handkerchief, which originally had only a little red plum, had been stained with tears.
This situation is so embarrassing that Zheng Zhi doesn't want to stay any longer, she just wants to return to Tinglan Courtyard as soon as possible. "Second Prince Ling, if you are disturbed, I will leave first." Zheng Zhi took Xiao Lan and just took two steps out, and Ling Xiao behind her stopped her.
"You...... Mrs. Sister-in-law, I was so offended just now, please don't take it to heart. As for the affection of the third lady, this son still said that sentence, I will not respond, please convey it to the third lady. Other than that...... Is that the veil to be given to me? Ling Xiao stiffly pointed to the silk handkerchief that Zheng Zhi was holding in his hand.
Zheng Zhi was confused. What does this mean? He wants this silk handkerchief again? Didn't he have no intention of Bai Zifei?
"Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Sister-in-law, although it is impossible for me and the third miss, but since the third miss wants to give the silk handkerchief to the next, let's leave a memory." As if seeing Zheng Zhi's doubts, Ling Xiao immediately explained.
Is that good? Zheng Zhi hesitated, she always felt that this Ling Xiao was very strange, and it was more and more strange every time. How could Bai Ziyi like to associate with someone with such a temperament.
"Miss, you can give the third lady's handkerchief to Ling Ergongzi, you can't stay here for a long time." Xiao Lan reminded softly on the side.
Zheng Zhi, who was uneasy, finally gave the silk pass to Ling Xiao, and quickly took Xiaolan away. What she didn't notice was that Ling Xiao's face was slightly red when she held the silk handkerchief.
