Jinghu stood alone outside the Zhengyang Gate, waiting for Ke Mingxu to come out of the palace.

She suddenly said that she was leaving, and Zhen Ning thought that they had offended her, and dragged her to stay in her temple for a long time.

The longer she stayed in the Zhenning Palace, the more anxious she became. was afraid of people's jokes, and she didn't dare to say that she was going to Zhengyang Gate to block Ke Mingxu.

Although the little county lord is still young, he is also very face-saving.

Jinghu lingered under the Zhengyang Gate for a long time, and he didn't know if he hadn't come out yet, or if he had already left. If he was already gone, then how would she find him in the future?

Although she knew that he was the Xulang of the Ke family, she couldn't just find his mansion. But soon, more important questions came to her mind.

What did she ask him for?

As soon as this thought came to her, she immediately wanted to run. She felt that she was really dizzy today, and touched the purse on her body, which contained the two hundred taels of silver tickets she borrowed from Zhenning, she still didn't have to wait, and went to the gaming pavilion to see it first.

Jinghu had just taken a few steps when there was movement behind him. The city gate was wide open, and Zhuang Yuanlang, who was riding a white horse, walked out of the palace, and her peony flower was still her beautiful peony on the placket.

At this time, it was already dusk, and a gust of spring breeze blew, bringing over the catkins from the willow embankment by Jinshui Lake. Jinghu hates catkins the most, and always makes her feel itchy. So she doesn't like spring either.

At this time, the sun is setting, and there is a shadow under the tall castle tower. Zhuang Yuanlang stood in the shadows, but Jinghu was bathed in the sun.

The dust was too small, but the catkins were tangible, dancing in the warm light. Jinghu looked back at Ke Mingxu, he was obviously in the shadows, but he seemed to be independent of the shadows.

She couldn't take her eyes off it, and even though there were catkins all around, she forgot to run away.

And the next moment, she sneezed in front of him. She felt a little embarrassed, and immediately turned her back, trying to find the silk handkerchief on her body.

But she has always been impatient, like most Yanjing ladies will do, wear a bracelet, and then tie the silk handkerchief to the bracelet, she has always stuffed the silk handkerchief into the purse she carries with her.

Of course, she also brought a silk handkerchief with her when she went out today, but when she stuffed the silver ticket into her purse, she disliked the cumbersome silk handkerchief, so she simply didn't stuff it back.

What a shame! Should she run away before he notices her?

Fortunately, she hesitated, and with a burst of crisp fragrance of pines and cypresses, a fair-skinned and slender hand stretched out in front of her, "Use this side." ”

Jinghu raised his head and didn't forget to cover his face. Ke Mingxu was very tall, and she didn't even reach his shoulders. However, in a few years, she should be able to grow to his jaw, right?

Champion Lang's voice was very gentle, and like his own, she suddenly regretted that she had not read more poetry, so that she could describe her feelings at this time with appropriate, magnificent words.

Seeing Jinghu in a daze, Ke Mingxu smiled again and sent the handkerchief forward. "Take it, little county lord."

Jinghu is even more confused, it seems that she should change her name to Jingmu. She didn't know him before, but he wasn't from the Five Cities Terracotta Division, she always mingled in the inner courtyard, how could he know her?

Seeing that Jinghu still didn't answer, Ke Mingxu didn't force it anymore, he just smiled again, then turned around and led the horse, ready to leave.

"Wait." Jinghu covered his face with one hand and chased after him.

Ke Mingxu stopped, looked back at her, and waited for her next step, "Is there anything else going on with the little county lord?" ”

Jinghu pointed to the peony flower on the placket of his clothes, "This is mine." ”

Ke Mingxu glanced down at the flower, and then gently took it off, "Did you accidentally fall from the city tower?" It would be a pity if he was trampled by horses, but now he can return to Zhao completely. ”

He handed over the champion red, but Jinghu still didn't take it.

Jinghu waved his hand, "No." Take my flowers and exchange them for your handkerchief. ”

Ke Mingxu seemed to have a good temper, he didn't say anything, but took out the handkerchief and handed it to Jinghu.

This time, Jinghu quickly picked it up, ran away two steps, and wiped his face clean. Then he walked back to Ke Mingxu's side.

"Thank you, Brother Ke Shi, wait until I wash the veil and then return it to Brother Ke Shi." She had already thought that if she saw him again, she would call him that.

Anyway, the two families were originally world friends, and if you call him Master Ke or Master Ke, I always feel a little weird.

Ke Mingxu obviously didn't care, "It's just a handkerchief, and the little county lord doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

He had nothing to say to her, leading the horse and preparing to leave, but Jinghu had no intention of parting with him.

"Brother Ke Shi, where are you going, are you going back to Master Ke's Mansion?"

Ke Mingxu shook his head, "No, I'm going to the Chong'an Eldest Princess's Mansion to find my teacher." ”

"Who is Brother Keshi's teacher?" Jinghu chattered, and gradually forgot his original problem.

"The eldest princess of Chong'an is my great-aunt's grandmother, she married a great Confucian surnamed Zhou, and the lady of the Dingguo Mansion is also her daughter. Sister Qing of Dingguo Mansion, her mother is Brother Ke Shi's aunt, and you are her cousin, right? ”

Ke Mingxu's tone was unhurried, "My teacher is Mr. Zhou Kui Zhou, the mountain chief of Songshi Academy, who is the second son of the eldest princess of Chong'an. Mrs. Zhou of the Dingguo Mansion is her eldest daughter and the elder sister of my teacher. ”

"Sister Qing'er's mother is my grandfather's daughter, do you have a good relationship with Sister Qing?"

Jinghu listened to Ke Mingxu while thinking about what to say to him next. If only she had been waiting in front of the castle tower for the rest of her thoughts, not of running away, but of what she would say to him if she saw him.

She didn't think about it, but Ke Mingxu threw out the question herself. And it's a very easy question to answer, she can say a lot.

"Yes, Sister Qing and I are very good friends. She is very knowledgeable, so I usually study at home, and if I have any questions, I will ask her for advice when I meet her. ”

In fact, she never took her home school seriously, and with her father supporting her, her mother had no way to take her. will get along with Qingrou like this, at first because she can guide her to complete the homework assigned by her husband.

"I often go to the Dingguo Mansion to play, and now Sister Qing lives in the Chun Ling Building in Xihe Garden. I think Xihe Garden is the most beautiful place in the whole Yanjing, even better than the imperial garden in the palace, has Brother Ke Shi been there? ”

Ke Mingxu's tone was unhurried, "My teacher is Mr. Zhou Kui Zhou, the mountain chief of Songshi Academy, who is the second son of the eldest princess of Chong'an. Mrs. Zhou of the Dingguo Mansion is her eldest daughter and the elder sister of my teacher. ”

"Xiheyuan." I don't know if it's her delusion, when she said these three words, Ke Mingxu's gaze seemed to be slightly deeper.

It was like remembering something sad. But soon those emotions disappeared.

"It's getting late, the Yongning County Mansion is in front of you, the little county lord should go home quickly. It's time for me to go to my teacher. ”

Jinghu only cared about talking to Ke Mingxu, but he didn't notice that he had already changed his direction, and it was indeed the Yongning County Palace.

They all walked to the door, and she couldn't pestering him anymore. I had to go up the stairs step by step, "Brother Ke Shi also walked slowly." ”

His mind no longer seemed to be there, but he smiled at her at the end, and then led the horse away.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared at the end of the twilight clouds that Jinghu slowly walked towards Fang Shixuan, where he lived.
