It's a flower bone
On the fifth watch, Xiaolan came to wait for Zheng Zhi to get up. I have to say that Xiaolan's movements are very neat and agile, and after a while, Zheng Zhi was combed with a peach spire bun, decorated with a few beads, refreshing and elegant. I also chose a small jacket with peony patterns in eight treasures, lined with a lotus satin skirt, which outlined Zheng Zhi's grace. Zheng Zhi looked at herself in the bronze mirror, with a graceful and fair face lined with black cloud temples, but the blue and black under the apricot eyes seemed to tell others that she didn't sleep well last night. Zheng Zhi took the incense powder that she usually doesn't use much, applied it carefully under her eyes, and then slowly evened out the whole face.
Xiao Lan beside her looked at Zheng Zhi after dressing up, and smirked with a mouthful of small white teeth. Zheng Zhi glanced at her, and she smiled even more happily, "Little grandma is so beautiful!"
Zheng Zhi was amused by her, looked at Xiao Lan's clear eyes and said, "When there is no one in private, you can call me Miss." ”
Xiao Lan was overjoyed when she heard this, and she made a mischievous salute and called sweetly, "Miss."
"Let's go, go and say hello to grandma." Zheng Zhi saw Xiao Lan's innocent appearance and took her to Qiutang Courtyard together.
At the gate of Qiutang Courtyard, there were already maids waiting on the side, and Zheng Zhi saw that they were two personal girls from Baifu to Zheng Rui, one tall seemed to be called Xiuyan, and the other was slightly shorter called Yuhuan. The two led Zheng Zhi in.
As soon as you enter the house, a burst of fragrant fragrance comes to your face, and you can see the magnificence of flowers. Zheng Zhi didn't see Bai Ziyi, nor did she see the inner bedroom, but she knew how extravagant and exquisite it was. The aroma is full of red, which can be described as rich and graceful.
Zheng Rui had already sat outside for a long time, wearing a round-necked, brown-bottomed, yellow-flowered, bird-patterned satin skirt was gorgeous and dazzling. Zheng Rui's figure is petite and plump, and unlike Zheng Zhi, she has always been rich and delicate.
"Sister Rui'er, I'm here to greet you." Zheng Zhi's voice was soft and gentle.
"Sister, come and sit down." Zheng Rui is still indifferent to Zheng Zhi, but she is not harsh. Zheng Zhi didn't know if she was too careful, she felt that Zheng Rui didn't have much newlywed joy on her face, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her eyes.
What are you sad about? With Zheng Rui's temperament and status as her mother, if she is dissatisfied with Bai Ziyi or even Bai Fu, she will immediately make trouble, how can she wronged herself.
After Zheng Rui asked Zheng Zhi to sit down, she didn't say anything more, and just drank tea silently. Zheng Zhigan was also very skewed when she sat down, she wanted to find a topic to talk about family life or see if she could enhance the sisterhood, but she gave up when she saw Zheng Rui's happy appearance.
Zheng Zhi sat for a cup of tea and finally couldn't help but get out of the Qiutang Courtyard, and took Xiaolan to slowly pac in the rockery garden in the backyard. I have to say that the rich Baifu has fully embodied the small bridge and flowing water in the Jiangnan courtyard in its own garden design, which can be called a scene every ten steps. When Zheng Zhi walked across a stone bridge, there was a small piece of cosmos, and now in the late autumn and early winter season, this pink and purple cosmos is blooming vigorously.
Zheng Zhi squatted down and gently touched the delicate petals of cosmos, and the touch suddenly reminded her of Bai Ziyi's gentle kiss that seemed real and false on the night of the trial marriage. Her heart pounded.
Xiao Lan looked at Zheng Zhi, who was stunned and blushing, and said heartlessly: "Miss, aren't you fascinated by this flower?" “
Zheng Zhi came back to her senses and was about to speak, when a warm and clear voice sounded: "The little girl is bold, what did you just call the little grandmother?" “
Zheng Zhi turned her head to look in the direction of the voice, Bai Ziyi was dressed in homely blue trolling, and at this time, she looked at Xiao Lan who was already kneeling on the ground expressionlessly.
Zheng Zhi squatted slightly and saluted Bai Ziyi, and seeing that Bai Ziyi didn't make any further sound, she said: "Don't blame Xiaolan, it was the concubine who asked Xiaolan to be called like this for convenience." ”
Bai Ziyi slowly raised his eyes to look at Zheng Zhi, his expression softened slightly, but his eyes were not happy, and he said after a while, "You don't have to get used to them, if there is anyone who makes you uncomfortable, come and tell me." ”
Zheng Zhi nodded obediently, as if looking at her toes, but the afterglow fell on Bai Ziyi next to her. Bai Ziyi didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, he suddenly bent down and lowered his head, his slender and white hands gently played among the cosmos flowers, and after a while, he folded a pink-purple flower that was blooming and put it in front of him to take a closer look, "This cosmos is really delicate and beautiful." He paused for a moment, "It's a pity that it won't be long before it will wither." With a slight movement of his fingers, the delicate cosmos fell gently to the mud floor with the wind. He no longer looked at the flower, but stooped down to look among the flowers, and when he straightened up, there was another budding cosmos in his hand, and he looked at it for a moment and smiled with satisfaction.
Zheng Zhi was baffled by Bai Ziyi's series of actions, thinking that this son has a hobby of destroying flowers?
Just when Zheng Zhi was slandering, Bai Ziyi had already walked in front of Zheng Zhi, raised his hand and carefully inserted the budding cosmos in Zheng Zhi's hair, and then a clear voice sounded: "Xiaolan, do you want this flower to match your young lady?" ”
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes, and immediately replied happily: "Miss is already good-looking, and this budding flower bone will definitely be more beautiful than the previous one after it blooms, so it will naturally be worthy of my young lady!"
Bai Ziyi finally relaxed the corners of her mouth, "Little girl, get up, serve your young lady well in the future, if there is anything wrong, I will ask you." ”
Zheng Zhi's face was a little hot, and she didn't dare to look directly at Bai Ziyi. Although it is now the early winter season, it seems that a warm breeze blows towards Zheng Zhi's heart, making her whole body warm.
What did Bai Ziyi say after that? It's like going for a walk in the garden together.
Zheng Zhi followed behind Bai Ziyi stupidly, and when Bai Ziyi in front of him had stopped to look at a red maple plant, Zheng Zhi still walked forward stupidly with her head down.
"Miss, be careful!" Xiao Lan spoke up too late. Because Zheng Zhi had already bumped into Bai Ziyi in front.
Bai Ziyi reacted very quickly, and he quickly stabilized his center of gravity without preparation, and quickly grabbed Zheng Zhi, who was about to fall to the ground.
When Zheng Zhi stood up, she was almost smug with seven holes. What a shame! She can't wait to pinch herself!
And Bai Ziyi behaved indifferently from beginning to end, he only said to Zheng Zhi lightly to be careful. Then he didn't know what he saw, and his eyes stayed on the ground. Zheng Zhi followed his line of sight, and there was a small bud lying there, and it turned out that the cosmos that had been inserted in the sideburns had fallen to the ground under the impact just now.
Zheng Zhi bent down and wanted to pick it up, but Bai Ziyi stopped her with a somewhat bleak face, "Since it's gone, let it go, and I'll find someone to bring you some fresh flowers another day." Then he turned and walked slowly, not glancing at the flower on the ground.
Looking at Bai Ziyi's back, Zheng Zhi's heart tightened for no reason, and she quietly picked up the flower bone.
Back at Tinglan Courtyard, Zheng Zhi asked Xiaolan to take a narrow porcelain bottle, fill half a bottle of water, and carefully insert the cosmos.
Looking at the vase, Zheng Zhi thought about the day's events. Bai Ziyi treated her more gently than when she first met, but she felt that he seemed to have something on his mind today, which was even more unpredictable.
When Xiao Lan brought the food to Zheng Zhi, she saw her looking at the flowers in a daze, and it seemed that she had been looking at this for a while.
Hey, this young lady is very good at everything, why do you always love to be in a daze.
