As Zhou spoke, her heart gradually became bottomless, and her voice lowered, only shaking Zhao's sleeve, looking up and asking her, "Sister Zhao, did you say?" ”

Zhao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Don't ask me, I'm not an immortal, they all say that knowing people and faces don't know their hearts, let's do this - where can you see what kind of person Fujin is?" But ......"

She paused, looked up at the lights in the room, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Since she can sit in this position for two years, I think she should understand a truth - she will not do things that are not beneficial to herself." ”

Zhao said, retracted his gaze, looked at Zhou in front of him, stretched out his hand to comb the messy hair on her sideburns, and said word by word: "Sister Zhou, there is no turning back when you open the bow, and there is no way back when you step out-you, have you really thought about it?" ”

Zhou's face was flushed at first, and then his face turned a little pale.

She hesitated, "I...... I ......"

Zhao reached out and touched her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Listen to my sister." Forget these thoughts! The people next to you may have a long future, but my sister just wants you to live well! ”

Zhou raised his head and stared deeply into Zhao's eyes.

She was about to nod her head, but she heard a short sneer behind her.

Zhou turned his head suddenly, and saw Qian yawning while sitting up lazily from the bed, sighed and said: "Timid is timid, why bother talking about these interfaces!" Hey, after all, people are different, look at the decisiveness and cleverness of Ning Gege, and then look at your shrunken little family - even if someone has the luck, there is no life! ”

Zhou said angrily: "You heard everything? ”

Qian smiled and lowered his head, stretched out his hand to stroke the long hair on his chest, squinted at her, and said slowly: "Yes, not only did I listen to it—I listened to it for a while, didn't you notice it?"

Look at your heartless appearance, it's far worse than Ninggege! ”

Zhou's face turned red, he bit his lip tightly, and was silent for a long time, then suddenly shook his head fiercely, got up and said to Zhao: "Sister Zhao, you don't have to persuade me—I still want to give it a go!" I'm still so young, and I still have so much to do in my life in the future, I also want to be like Ning Gege, to be favored by the fourth master, even if it's just a little pity, it's enough for us to live comfortably in this Baylor Mansion! ”

She took a step forward, held Zhao's hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Zhao, I am for you, and I should work hard to get ahead!" If God has mercy on me, let me be happy, and in the future, sister, you don't have to be like this today, even picking up the red bean cake that fell on the ground and eating it......"

When Zhou said this, his eyes turned slightly red.

Zhao was silent for a long time, reached out and picked up the embroidered bandage on his knee, embroidered it again with stitches and threads, turned his face, his voice was a little muffled, and only said: "You rest early, the night is cold and windy, remember to cover the window." ”

Zhou said softly: "Sister Zhao, do you have nothing to say to me?" ”

Zhao turned around and said stiffly, "No." ”

Zhou stood for a moment, then turned and went back.

As soon as she walked to the bed, Qian immediately covered her face with the quilt, closed her eyes, and turned around.

Zhou Shi glanced at her coldly, and clenched the fingers in his sleeves - although the tips of the fingers were cold, there was a pool of hot blood burning in her heart, burning so much that she only felt that her heart was beating fast.

She said coldly in the direction of the Qian family: "I know you're awake, don't worry—let's wait and see!" ”

In the middle of the night, Zhao also put down the embroidery bandage, stood up, and blew out the lights.

In the dark, she groped her way to the bedside, and by the thin moonlight outside the window, she first bent down to tuck the quilt for Zhao, and then turned back to straighten a small pillow that was about to fall off at the head of Qian's bed, and then sat on the side of her bed, and slowly reached out to undress.

One night moonlight is like a veil.

……

In the blink of an eye, the gold festival came as scheduled.

The fourth elder brother and Fu Jin went out of the house early in the morning, and Ning Ying originally thought that with such a big festival, they would definitely come back in the middle of the night.

As a result, at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, I heard all the way back from the gate of the house, and it was the fourth elder brother's carriage coming back from the palace.

Xiao Feizi, the eunuch in Ning Ying's courtyard, is as his name suggests - he didn't dare to move around when he first came over, but now he is much bolder, taking advantage of the excitement of the festival, he went to the dining room to pick up food, and when he came back, he brought Ning Ying a news of eating melons - it seems that Fujin has made the fourth elder brother unhappy today!

What is the reason, naturally no one dares to explore, but anyway, the fourth master is unhappy, and everyone's hearts are in their throats.

Ning Ying was also a little apprehensive when she heard it - the fourth elder brother was unhappy, although it was not caused by her, but it was not a good thing for everyone in this mansion.

Fortunately, soon, on the front yard of the fourth elder brother, a bunch of rewards from the palace began to be sent to Ning Ying's courtyard by name.

The most unexpected thing for Ning Ying was that there were actually two pots of cherry blossom bonsai in the reward!

Seeing a few little eunuchs coming in with bonsai in their arms, Ning Ying thought it was fake, but she reached out and touched it—ah, the petals are fragrant, and the branches and leaves are tender.

It's true!

Solid backbone. Coupled with the oblique branches and leaves, it is sparse and beautiful!

Ning Ying liked it so much that she immediately asked people to put it at the door of the hall.

Both of these cherry trees are about five years old, and they are more than one meter tall, and the bark of the main trunk is purple-brown, smooth and shiny, and there are faint rough horizontal lines when touched.

Further up, the soft cherry blossom petals flutter slightly in the wind, setting off the flickering lights under the eaves.

The cherry tree looks weak, but it is actually a very delicate variety, it is very easy to root, and even if it is so tall, it can bloom as long as it does not damage the roots of the tree.

Ning Ying was reaching out to play with the petals, when she suddenly felt a hand touch her head.

The slave next to him knelt on the ground: "Say hello to the fourth master!" ”

As soon as Ning Ying turned around, she was facing the fourth elder brother's expressionless iceberg face.

He raised his hand and silently flicked a cherry blossom hairpin between Ning Ying's sideburns—that was also the one he had rewarded before.

Then he withdrew his hand in boredom.

Ning Ying: Sure enough, Sigourd is not in a good mood today...... It seems that the news brought back by Xiao Haizi is true nine times out of ten.

She quickly lowered her eyebrows and squatted down: "Concubine to the fourth master!" ”

The fourth elder brother raised his hand and motioned for her to get up.

Then he walked up the stairs, walked a few steps, and finally paused at his feet, and reached out to hold Ning Ying's hand.

His palms were also cold.

Ning Ying: Today is the frozen four gourd~~

While she was thinking, she looked over to Su Peisheng, wanting to quietly give her an inquiring look.

Su Peisheng bent bitterly.
