Chapter 123: The Past Is Like Smoke
To say that this Qin Yan came and went is extremely mysterious, no one knows when he will come or when he will go.
I'm afraid that no one except Xie Yaoguang knows his whereabouts, but the most talked-about thing in Beijing is the child who was taken away by Qin Yan, envying his good luck.
There are many people who come to visit Xie Yaoguang in various names, hoping that one day Xie Yaoguang will be able to recommend his children to Qin Yan.
But Xie Yaoguang was as easy to get along with as they thought, and from the moment someone came to visit, she took someone out to play. After eating too much behind closed doors, the things that burned in the court disappeared in Beijing like the same wind after a long time.
Although the summer in Jiangnan is not particularly hot, it is also irritating for no reason.
Prior to this, Xie Yaoguang had already ordered people to take bamboo of different lengths in the garden and hide them in the stone wall, and then secretly chiseled stone steps on the stone wall to collect the rainwater on the eaves with the operation of the mechanism, forming a natural pearl and jade splashing scene here.
Near here is a water pavilion, the water pavilion is transparent on all sides are connected by bamboo bridges everywhere, and the water is planted with various colors of hibiscus.
Xie Yaoguang was sitting on the bamboo bridge closest to the stone wall at the moment, a white robe hanging lazily on his body, and his black hair was scattered casually behind his head, only a bundle of ribbons had been rolled up. Leaning on the edge of the railing, holding a fan in one hand and a volume of "Yuxi Words Collection" in the other.
The skirt is lifted to the knees, revealing a snow-white and delicate calf hanging in the water, teasing the vermilion fish in the water. whispered: "It's all colorless, and I can't help it." Yao Xi is set in the shade, and the gold detention is late. The back lamp shines on Qi, and the socks are wet. Expect to say goodbye before the autumn and leave the dream song. ”
Unfortunately, it rained in the sky. Xie Yaoguang was about to get up when an umbrella with a cluster of green bamboo twelve bones was propped up above his head.
Looking up in surprise, Xie Yaoguang's black and white phoenix eyes were just right on Zhuo Jing's cold face, and Zhuo Jing's eyes looked inexplicable.
Seeing that Zhuo Jing completely propped the umbrella on her head, while most of his body was exposed. The rain was extremely fine, and after a while, Zhuo Jing was drenched in the rain.
Xie Yaoguang naturally knew all this, so he simply withdrew his feet and stood up against the fence, holding the book in one hand and the hem of his skirt in the other. The exposed jade-colored feet step on the emerald green, adding a bit of softness. The two of them walked from the bamboo bridge to the water pavilion.
Sensing that the rain was becoming more and more urgent, Zhuo Jing stood back silently and stood up for Xie Yaoguang to block the rain that was drifting in the wind.
Back in the Water Pavilion, Xie Yaoguang leaned on the soft couch and continued to flip through the books, one jade foot stepped on the gorgeous Persian carpet, while the other swayed from time to time on the side of it.
The delicate white beating in front of my eyes makes people's hearts stir. Zhuo Jing couldn't help but lower his eyes and suppressed the thoughts that flashed in his heart, and without saying a word, he lifted the embroidered shoes placed on the side and walked towards Xie Yaoguang. Half kneeling beside Xie Yaoguang's legs, he was about to put on Luo socks and embroidered shoes one by one for Xie Yaoguang.
As soon as his fingers touched the jade foot that was unbearable, Xie Yao was startled and hurriedly withdrew his leg. looked at Zhuo Jing with a stunned face, and there was a trace of incomprehension in his eyes.
Zhuo Jing raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yaoguang, who was sitting on the couch with a stunned face, and stood up. He was already a little hoarse in his deep voice, took a step back and bowed and said, "It's a momentary faux pas, and I hope Miss will forgive me." ”
"It's okay, but isn't it uncomfortable for you to get wet? You go back and change your clothes first, and then come back here to find me. Xie Yaoguang smiled and said in a soft tone.
Hearing this, Zhuo Jing took the order and retreated.
After Zhuo Jing walked out of the Water Pavilion, Xie Yaoguang bent down to put on his embroidered shoes. Thinking back to the scene just now, I looked down at the lines on the hem of my clothes, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
She and Zhuo Jing should have known each other since childhood, and what Zhuo Jing has done as her escort over the years has also made her very satisfied. For her, she has long regarded Zhuo Jing as a relative in her heart. But what can't be exceeded still can't be exceeded.
Zhuo Jing's sudden abnormality just now, even after all these years, there has never been anyone by her side. But there were some things that looked like they were in the book, and she could still guess what had just happened.
In the end, it's her fault.
"Miss."
While she was thinking, Zhuo Jing's deep voice pulled her thoughts back. When she turned her head to look, Zhuo Jing had already walked into the Water Pavilion. At this moment, Zhuo Jing has changed his clothes, although he is still wearing black, but in the meantime, he has outlined the lines with gold threads, which is not only capable, but also adds a bit of luxury.
"This dress is very good, if you don't have anything to do in the future, don't always wear those dark clothes." Xie Yaoguang put his finger on the corner of the fan, and looked at Zhuo Jing softly, "Isn't it good to dress yourself up as a handsome man?" I remember Suzaku saying that when we first arrived, there were a lot of little girls waving to you on the road. ”
Zhuo Jing, who heard this, frowned slightly and then relaxed, "My subordinates know...... The subordinates will change to a different color in the future. ”
The reason why I chose black is because it blends well with the night.
"Everything has already been arranged?" Xie Yaoguang shook the fan lightly and asked Zhuo Jing in a low voice.
"Caoyun's side has already been arranged according to Miss's instructions," Zhuo Jing lowered his head slightly, with a hint of coldness in his voice, "Now just wait for the net to be closed." ”
Xie Yaoguang turned his head to look at the rain outside the pavilion, which was getting lighter and lighter, and said with a low smile: "You have always done things properly, I am very relieved." I hope the prince won't disappoint me with such a big gift, he should like it, right?"
"Miss, Qingluan is in charge of the Xie family's luck this time, and he will arrive in Gusu tomorrow." Zhuo Jing said this sentence only after half a sound.
"yes, I see. Come with me to Caoyun Wharf tomorrow" Xie Yaoguang raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said softly: "You have worked hard for a while, and when this matter is over, I will give you a few days off." ”
Just as he was about to speak back, Zhuo Jing suddenly caught a glimpse of a bamboo leaf crawling out of nowhere, wrapped around Xie Yaoguang's side, close at hand. Suddenly, I saw Zhu Yeqing, and its whole body was in an attack posture. Before he had time to think about it, Zhuo Jing immediately pounced on Xie Yaoguang and took her in his arms, and at the same time, a piece of snow flew out of his sleeve and knocked Zhu Yeqing back a few feet and nailed him to the ground.
Looking at the bamboo leaves on the ground who kept struggling, Xie Yao's eyes flashed fiercely. She remembered very well that because of the abundance of mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the summer, she had ordered people to sprinkle realgar all over the garden. So this snake ...... Someone probably brought it in on purpose.
"It's a subordinate oversight." Zhuo Jing silently let go of Xie Yaoguang and said in a deep voice.
"Neglect what? If they want to let the snake in, you can't stop a beast. Xie Yaoguang got up from the bamboo couch and stood with his sleeves folded, his tone was cold, "Immediately send someone to check the records of the people who came and went to the mansion today, and it is best to capture them alive." ”
