Xiao Fu invited people to start construction in the courtyard and built a swing, the special thing about the swing is that the carving is exquisite, the hibiscus flowers are climbing one by one around the body, a gust of wind blows, and the colorful bells on the swing sound with the wind, which is very beautiful.

The people of Ye City thought that it was prepared by Lord Xiao to welcome the upcoming Princess Changle, but this was not the case.

On the day of the Qingming Festival, Xiao Jingzhi, as Jing Zhaoyin, delivered an important speech at Huanqiao, which symbolizes Yecheng, his fingers were still holding white gauze, and his face was very calm.

After finishing speaking, the guards were about to escort him back to the house, when a voice in the crowd was very loud: "Is Lord Xiao's fingers really forced by Mrs. Zun?"

This kind of gossip was quickly echoed by everyone, and a bunch of people began to discuss it on their feet, and Xiaozhu motioned to the guards and said to him, "My lord, shall we go back?"

Xiao Jingzhi stopped, and a smile appeared on his face that had been calm, he was already as good-looking as an immortal, and such a smile made many people forget to speak and only care about him.

"The finger thing is indeed forced, this is not the Mid-Autumn Festival now, I have to hurry back to the house to help my wife push the swing. ”

His words caused a great response in the crowd, and one of the butchers threw the knife on the board very sadly, rolled up his sleeves, and knocked on his chest very boldly: "Our Lord Xiao brings peace to our whole city, my old Chen doesn't allow that little lady to bully us like that, only one word from the adult, my old Chen will definitely ......"

"Eh, what are you talking about, Jinhuan is my wife, I only feel distressed, she has not been in a good mood in recent days, I just hope that the newly repaired swing can make her happier. ”

His words made the people around him freeze in place, but his face was flat, he waved his hand at the people, and successfully returned to Xiao Mansion.

On the day of Qingming, everyone in Yecheng was frightened: it turned out that the finger was voluntarily cut off by Lord Xiao, and the rumored very ingenious swing was made by him for the best lady.

In view of this reality, everyone also knows the fact that Master Xiao is a masochist!

It was also from this day that Yecheng blew the wind of savage girlfriends, and almost all young women were very arrogant and domineering, in order to let the good-looking and gentle Lord Xiao take a second look.

In the Xiao Mansion, Zhou Jinhuan sat on the swing that had just been completed, and his mood went up and down.

"What is Madame thinking?"

"It's been seven days today, and Zhao Yu hasn't reacted yet, is there any bad trick he wants to make?"

Xiao Jingzhi has broken his left finger, Zhao Yu no longer has an excuse to abolish her position, and Zhao Qing is his own sister, how could he have wronged her, so what is his idea?

"Madame doesn't have to think so much, to put it bluntly, your status can't be moved. ”

Of course she understood Su Wan's words, but Su Wan didn't understand her worries.

Zhao Yu is a too caring person, I am afraid that she will worry too much, and the date of marriage will be determined in two days.

When she was lying in bed at night, she couldn't sleep all the time, and her heart was more panicked than when she got married.

"Madame is angry?" his hand was on her waist, his warm breath lingering in her ear, so close and yet so far away, her hand was on his, and placed it on her heart, as if it could be closer, and her voice was a little confused: "I know your attitude, your heart, even if you kept pointing at the time, I knew it, but now I can't stop thinking about it......"

"Madam, do you want to go to the Zhou Mansion these two days?" he turned her body over, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, but she was a little bitter, but her voice seemed to be joking: "What, are you afraid of irritating me?"

"No, let's go together, I'll go and plead guilty. ”

At first, she was very happy, but her smile didn't stay for two seconds before she pulled it down, and said leisurely: "Why bother with Zhao Yu's person, he wants to see us go back to the Zhou Mansion together, so as to give him a chance to find fault." ”

"Rest assured, I know what to do. He habitually rubbed her hair and hugged her into his arms, and what else did she have to say, he spoke first: "Good, I'm too tired these days, let's rest early." ”

She felt sorry for him, so she slept obediently, but sensitively felt that he was looking at herself, her eyes didn't open, and her tone was very relaxed: "Rest early, my father and mother will definitely not spare you tomorrow, don't even have the energy to run away then......"

He didn't reply, but kissed her on the lips.

Since the accident, he hasn't kissed her for a long time, and his lips are full of bitter taste: "Okay, listen to Mrs. for the husband." ”

Early the next morning, they left the house and went straight to the Zhou mansion.

Back at this point in time, when I returned to the Zhou Mansion, even the guards were a little confused, and after the report, I scratched my head and replied: "Madame said, call Miss in, aunt ......"

The guard is stupid, Mrs. Zhou finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and grabbed Zhou Jinhuan and was about to leave, Xiao Jingzhi said loudly: "Mother, my son-in-law is bothered." ”

He entered the door as he spoke, and the guard didn't see Mrs. Zhou stopping him, so he let him in.

The section of the road from the gate of the mansion to the hall, Mrs. Zhou has always been calm, and Xiao Jingzhi didn't dare to say anything all the way, when she was about to reach the hall, Mrs. Zhou protected Zhou Jinhuan behind her, her face was very ugly, and she was very indifferent to Xiao Jingzhi: "Just now at the gate, I am embarrassed to let others see my Zhou Mansion jokes, but now I don't care so much in the mansion, to be honest, our Zhou family does not welcome people with foreign surnames, this son should please stay......"

"Mother, there is nothing uncommon about marrying a wife and taking a concubine, and besides, it is not Jing Zhi's original intention......" Xiao Jingzhi stood like a dumb person and didn't speak, she couldn't help but want to say a few words for him, but in exchange for Mrs. Zhou's greater anger: "I don't care what the rules of other families are, our Zhou Mansion has never been like this, we don't dare to recognize a son-in-law like him!"

Mrs. Zhou's words are really good, the tradition of monogamy in the Zhou Ming family has lasted for several generations, and everyone takes it for granted, Zhou Ming and his wife have been childless, but Zhou Ming has never taken a concubine or newly married, although a good relationship is one thing, the tradition of the Zhou family is also the reason.

Although Zhou Jinhuan is Zhou Ming's adopted daughter, he has no children under him, and this adopted daughter is also a baby, besides, Xiao Jingzhi's words were not like this before, he said it well, but he was going to marry a princess in less than a month, isn't this a trick on people as monkeys?

Xiao Jingzhi understood Mrs. Zhou's thoughts too well, and when Zhou Jinhuan wanted to say something, he hurriedly grabbed the white: "Mother is right, everything is the fault of the son-in-law, and I also ask my mother not to be angry, not to hurt your body." ”

"I don't want to listen to you, now that the old man is not here, you hurry up, and don't step into our Zhou Mansion in the future." "Mrs. Zhou in her memory has always been as demure as water, rarely angry, less rude, she is the daughter of a family, and her cultivation is excellent, but at this time she can say the word "roll", which shows her anger.

Everything is the fault of the son-in-law, the son-in-law is willing to be punished, and asks the mother to give the son-in-law a chance. ”

When he said this, he suddenly knelt on the ground, the sound was so loud that she could even hear the sound of bones colliding, and she was about to go out to see him, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhou, she pointed to him kneeling outside: "Mother, Jing knows that he broke his finger a few days ago, and the wound was a little inflamed, and it was only slightly better when he was Qingming, but he lacked recuperation, and his body was not completely ......."

"Before his health is completely good, he wants to marry the princess and enter the house, I think he is in good health. Mrs. Zhou's strength was not small, she pinched her wrist fiercely, she bit her lower lip and thought about whether to use the bitter meat trick, but Mrs. Zhou pulled her back behind her, and knew to Xiao Jing who was kneeling on the ground: "Kneel if you want to, I want to see if your bones are hard or the ground is harder." ”

"Thank you, Mother. The morning sun shone obliquely, reflecting on Xiao Jingzhi's beautiful face, Zhou Jinhuan found that the sweat on his forehead was slowly falling, she stepped forward but was pulled back by Mrs. Zhou, and smiled at her very kindly: "I came early in the morning, and I haven't eaten yet, right?"

Naturally, they came early and did not have time to eat.

Walking into the hall with Mrs. Zhou, I saw Zhou Ming, who was already sitting at the dinner table, and it turned out that he had not yet gone to the court.

"Daddy, you're here, ......" She looked at the Zhou couple puzzled, and then pointed to Xiao Jingzhi, who was still kneeling at the door.

"Then Xiao Jingzhi looks so meticulous and cautious, why don't you come back after breakfast?" Mrs. Zhou pulled her to sit down, and the small bowl in front of her formed a hill after a while.

"This is the heart of your good son-in-law, let you punish him happily. Zhou Ming stroked his beard as he spoke, and Mrs. Zhou snorted lightly and muttered, "He really has a heart." ”

Since entering the hall, she felt that the atmosphere was wrong, poked the dishes in the bowl with chopsticks, she didn't think so much, just asked: "Daddy, the princess's affairs are not something that his little Jing Zhaoyin can decide, the main thing is that the emperor wants to push his sister to him, and he has no choice, you don't know that he cut his finger in front of the emperor just to keep my wife's position, he is not a merciful person......"

She anxiously explained to the two, and both of them had calm faces, just eating their own food quietly and not saying anything.

"Father, mother, what I said is true, his recent things are one after another, there are many dark arrows in the face, and the emperor does not trust him, that is, during the Qingming Dynasty, he had to show up as Jing Zhaoyin, but when he returned home that day, his face was ugly, and he couldn't eat anything......"

"Shhh Mrs. Zhou interrupted her, and Zhou Ming looked at each other and smiled, her expression was completely different from the anger just now, she was a little stunned, and asked uncertainly: "Dad, mother, what are you going to do?"

"Silly boy, the matter of the two of you has spread throughout Yecheng, and the two of us are people from the deep mountains and old forests, how can we not know?"

"Then you still ......"

"We must make a gesture that we can't let anyone look down on you, the Zhou family, including the emperor. ”

This is what Zhou Ming said, he is a fifty-year-old man, and he has long had no competitive intentions, but his daughter is bullied like this, and he still has a temper, even if the other party is the emperor.

Zhou Jinhuan suddenly realized that Xiao Jingzhi was too smart and a person who spoiled her too much, and he even took care of the emotions of the Zhou couple.

He obviously knew that at this critical moment, Zhao Yu would definitely pay more attention to his movements, but he still came to the Zhou Mansion, which was undoubtedly slapping Zhao Yu in the face, and also expressing his heart to her to the Zhou couple.

may be because Xiao Jingzhi is still kneeling at the door, and this breakfast is extremely slow and difficult to swallow.

After breakfast, the Zhou couple did not go out, but still sat at the dinner table.

Zhou Jinhuan felt sorry for Xiao Jingzhi, who was still kneeling outside, but he couldn't blame the Zhou couple for being good, so he could only quietly walk out of the hall, stand beside Xiao Jingzhi, and slowly kneel down next to him.

"Obedient, get up, the ground is cold. His voice was so gentle that she wanted to get up obediently, but she still stubbornly didn't move: "I don't seem to have heard you on major matters since the first day we met, right?"

"That's right. He was sad to find that in many things, he was doting on her, letting her, he wanted her to ask him to respect her ideas as he pleased, but now that the sun was blazing on the earth, he was reluctant to let her suffer like this, so he instructed Su Wan: "Help Madame up, otherwise there will be no moon for this month." ”

"Wan'er doesn't have to listen to him, he will deduct your monthly salary, and I will give it to you. She was quite confident when she said this, because Xiao Jing knew that her monthly income was under her control, and she was a high-ranking official in the court, and there was a lot of silver.

"Then since that's the case...... Xiao Jingzhi smiled again, she hadn't seen him smile like this for a long time, so she was a little distracted, and when she came back to her senses, the person had already arrived in his arms, eh...... She was actually hugged by the princess?

"What are you doing, it's not in our house now, it's in the Zhou Mansion, let them see what it's like, why don't you put me down quickly?" She tugged at his clothes, he didn't seem to realize it, and walked directly to the hall, under the surprised eyes of the Zhou couple, he gently put her on the stool, hung his head and walked towards the door, as if he didn't see Zhou Ming sitting on the side.

"Now that you're in, sit down. Zhou Ming's face was slightly red, but his voice was still very majestic.

Xiao Jingzhi walked to the table very obediently, like a good student.

The Zhou couple are both understanding people, and there is a certain element of drama in the initial embarrassment, but now seeing Xiao Jingzhi's good attitude, it is just a matter of saying a few heavy words.

"Jinhuan hasn't been home for a long time, so let's stay at home today. ”

After lunch, Mrs. Zhou took Zhou Jinhuan's hand, very intimate, although the words were said to her, but it was enough for Xiao Jingzhi to hear.

"That's naturally good, Jin Huan has always said that she wants to go home and live for a while. Xiao Jingzhi's answer made the two elders very satisfied, but Zhou Jinhuan quietly frowned, walked to his side, and whispered: "The day after tomorrow is the day when Zhao Yu promised to get married, you are not good to be here with me......"

"What stupid things to say, I naturally want to be with you. His words could be heard by all four people, and the expressions of the Zhou couple were noticeably softer.

However, he was in the Zhou Mansion before he got married, can Zhao Yu endure this breath?

Even if she has such worries, three to one, no one will listen to her opinion.

Slightly apprehensive, she stayed in Zhou's mansion for two days, and these two days passed very slowly, because she couldn't calm down.

The third day was the day when he married Zhao Qing, the princess of Changle, and on this day they returned to the Xiao Mansion from the Zhou Mansion together.

When she got married, she was worried about his safety, so she didn't pay attention to the layout of the Xiao Mansion, but it was really beautiful at first glance.

Xiao Mansion is originally very elegant, and the festive red embellishment, not only is it not nondescript, but it is a bit of a beauty of hitting the elements.

It's beautiful, but now it doesn't seem to belong to me.

Thinking of this, she pulled Xiao Jingzhi's hand tighter, he saw her emotion, kissed her forehead gently, and instructed: "Don't think too much, wait for me in the room." ”

Waiting for him, how is it possible, today is a big day for him and Princess Changle, can Zhao Yu let go of the "round house"?

"My lord, it's time to go and greet you. Xiaozhu's words are out of place, but they are also realistic.

He rubbed her hair and smiled at her, and she smiled and whispered, "Okay, I'll wait for you......"

Wait, can you wait, you're the one who waits, right?

"Madam, go back to the room?" Su Wan saw that her mood was too low, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, cleared her throat and said, "Now there is no one in the Xiao Mansion, what am I doing hiding in the room, I want to swing." ”

The swing was his gift to her, and it was also his unswerving heart.

"High, high, high!" Standing on the swing, she closed her eyes in the wind, trying to throw the matter of his marriage out of her mind, but to no avail several times, she could only make her swing higher.

Her emotions need to be vented, since Princess Changle appeared, she has only lost control once, she is not allowed to be emotionally abnormal in front of Xiao Jingzhi again, then she will look down on herself.

But on such a day, she really can't be indifferent.

"I'll come. ”

"Let Xiao Ah Cheng come, Xiao Ah Cheng should be pushed high, so that I can touch the sky better. ”

She let go of one hand as she spoke, stretched out her hand to the sky, the sunlight at this time was very strong, she had a moment of dizziness, the other hand quietly let go, she swinged to the highest point, the whole person fell from the air like a kite, and she didn't want to feel the pain after falling at this time, she thought: Will I be the first person to die because of the swing?
