Chapter Twenty-Six: To Return the Hosta

Yi Xue didn't choose to speak, feeling that Sima Cheng seemed to be deliberately tricking her words, and she also pretended to be puzzled, and said vaguely:

"Oh, that's it."

Sima Cheng continued: "Moreover, the covenant mentioned in the letter, that is, the ring, is actually a thing in the customs of the Hu people, which is a gift from a man to a woman before marrying a wife, so that the husband and wife will always keep the same mind. And the first time I met Miss Yin, I don't know who she got her ring from, are you Miss Yin lifting a stone and shooting herself in the foot. Sima Cheng approached Yi Xue and showed a sly smile.

Yi Xue was laughed at by him and felt hairy all over his body, he didn't expect Sima Cheng to have such a deep study of a small ring, Yi Xue regarded it as an ordinary jewelry, but he didn't expect that there was a difference between men and women.

Could it be that he suspects Miss Yin?

But why did he go out of his way to mention it in front of himself?

After that, Sima Cheng continued to babble in front of Yi Xue to pick all kinds of faults in the love note, Yi Xue was powerless to refute, only felt that Sima Cheng was not only not low in literary attainments, but also familiar with gold, silver and jade, he underestimated him, and now it was really boring to get an axe in front of him, so he robbed him of his words and said:

"Childe wants to show off Miss Yin's deep affection for you in front of me? If you've heard enough of this, then don't leave it at that. ”

Yi Xue was about to turn around to leave, when Sima Cheng's faint voice echoed in his ears, saying:

"I just think Miss Yin doesn't know anything about poetry, this love note is like finding someone to write it, I don't know what Tao Gongzi thinks?"

Yi Xue was annoyed and ashamed, really, Sima Cheng made it clear that he wanted to ask knowingly and embarrass himself.

Yi Xue is already poor in donkey skills, and now she can only turn the corner and say good things for Yin Baoshan, and by the way, find a way to dissociate herself from this matter, so she said:

"A woman's lack of talent is virtue, Miss Yin is a woman in the boudoir, and it is understandable that she doesn't understand literature and ink, even if it is a ghostwriter, she is willing to work her son, and she cherishes it."

"But I don't like her, as long as she has affection, do I have to agree? Isn't it difficult for a strong man? Sima Cheng's tone was full of doubt.

Faced with Sima Cheng's emotional problems, Yi Xue relapsed again with "old age and illness", and began to explain the woman's thoughts to Sima Cheng like a girl who was asking for a confession, and the two chatted back and forth, and finally did not persuade Sima Cheng, so he said:

"If the son doesn't like it, naturally he doesn't have to be reluctant, but he should have refused earlier, I saw Miss Yin's dress today, and I must have spent a lot of thought and financial resources." There was a hint of accusation in her tone.

"But that day, Tian'er insisted that I go to the appointment, if I miss the appointment, won't I disappoint the hearts of two people at the same time?" Sima Cheng showed a look of embarrassment, his eyes flickered, as if he was sincerely seeking advice.

The topic actually returned to her inexplicably, Yi Xue shuddered, she just wanted to blame Sima Cheng for treating Yin Baoshan coldly in the previous sentence, but in the next sentence, Sima Cheng immediately put this responsibility on her head.

Yi Xue was speechless for a while, and finally had to reply wistfully: "Qing'er is just a maid, naturally not as expensive as Miss Yin, and the son should have a decision in his heart." ”

Yi Xue just wanted to confirm whether Sima Cheng heard what she said when she was crying, but stealing chickens and rice was not successful, but as soon as she said a few words, she was taken away by Sima Cheng, and she was in a dilemma. Talking to Sima Cheng, if you say too much, you will lose, so without waiting for Sima Cheng to answer, Yi Xue turned around and left.

Sima Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Yi Xue fleeing. But suddenly, he felt that the previous dark shadow began to move, and the street was empty at this moment, and the direction of movement happened to be the same as that of Yixue who had just left, Sima Cheng's smile disappeared instantly, his brows were twisted into the word "Chuan", and his face sank, covering a layer of coldness.

He couldn't help but be a little worried, so he quietly followed the snow.

There was only the footsteps of the two of them on the street along the river, in order to prevent being discovered by Yi Xue, Sima Cheng intended to cooperate with Yi Xue's footsteps, but after walking a few steps, he found that this person's steps were really small.

But Yi Xue is vigilant, and when Sima Cheng caught up, she had already discovered that her steps were fast and slow, and Sima Cheng also followed her closely, and there was nothing wrong with her.

In the end, Yi Xue simply stopped, and Sima Cheng also stopped.

Yi Xue was a little angry, she already knew that she couldn't talk about him, couldn't she still hide?

Yi Xue turned around and walked towards Sima Cheng angrily.

"Why are you following me?"

Yi Xue crossed her hands on her hips and questioned Sima Cheng.

Sima Cheng also stopped, paused, and then took the initiative to step forward, respectfully bowed to Yi Xue, and said humbly and politely:

"Actually, there is something I want to entrust to Mr. Tao, I wonder if Mr. Tao is willing to hear it?"

Yi Xue didn't think about it, so she waved her hand and said:

"I don't want to."

Then turn around and keep walking.

Yi Xue thought as she walked, now that Sima Cheng keeps calling her "Tao Gongzi", she is naturally sure that she is the person who once had a quarrel with him in the jewelry shop, but she was humble and polite just now, and she didn't seem to have any intention of settling accounts with her, and before that, Yi Xue didn't deliberately mention this title, but she didn't take the initiative to deny it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Sima Cheng, who was rejected, was not annoyed, anyway, he had already been discovered, so he became blatantly and continued to follow Yixue.

Seeing that Sima Cheng continued to follow her, Yi Xue was upset, Sima Cheng actually took the initiative to beg her! I don't know what medicine he bought in his stomach, but she didn't want to have anything to do with Sima Cheng for a long time, and Yi Xue couldn't help but speed up her pace when she thought about it.

Sima Cheng also quickened his pace to keep up with her.

Yi Xue was displeased, suddenly stopped, turned her back to Sima Cheng and said, "Don't follow me anymore, I'm not interested." He shut up and walked on.

Sima Cheng was gathered again, so he had no choice but to walk quickly behind Yi Xue, grabbed Yi Xue's wrist, and forced Yi Xue to pretend to face him, and took out something from his chest with his other hand, and said to Yi Xue:

"On the day of the jewelry shop, I was disrespectful, looking at Tao Gongzi Haihan, and wishing to return the hosta to the original owner......"

Yi Xue glanced at the hosta, but although she is a daughter, she has decided to live as a man for the rest of her life since the Lotus Picking Festival, and the banquet in the bookstore that night is the night of farewell for the daughter of Yi Xue, and at this moment Yi Xue naturally no longer moves the hosta's mind.

In addition, now that Sima Cheng has made it clear that she wants her to admit her identity, of course she can't follow his wishes, and before Sima Cheng can finish speaking, Yi Xue replied:

"I don't understand what Childe is saying."

After speaking, he broke free of Sima Cheng's hand, walked faster, and left Sima Cheng behind.

Sima Cheng sighed lightly, and it was precisely because the distance was pulled apart that Sima Cheng noticed the movement around him again, and as soon as Tao Gongzi in front of him walked by, those black shadows followed non-stop, it seems that it is not a coincidence that those black shadows are in the same direction as Tao Gongzi.

Sima Cheng's eyes suddenly became sharp.
