Chapter 121: Entanglement
The scorching sun is like fire, the two families of Nanrong Mansion ask the gods for fortune telling, ask the gods for Lian Li silk, and worship them in front of the incense, waiting for the day of Yu Lu's marriage in the late summer.
Nanrong Mansion began to be busy, trying their best to prepare a dowry for Yu Lu, in addition to the material dowries such as silk and satin, gold and silver, money, and other material dowries, those profitable field shops were even more enviable.
Mrs. Nanrong loves her daughter very much, and she can't wait to accompany a few of her ancestral wineries, but fortunately, Yu Lu stopped herself. Wiping his tears and persuading: "I know that Aji's father is merciful, and he returned from losing half his life, and he should have done his filial piety under the knees of your second elder, but now that he is married, his daughter is already full of guilt, and she can't be such a valuable dowry." ”
After looking for her daughter for decades, it has only been more than half a year since she found her and reunited, and she is about to leave her family. Nan Rong Weixiao and his wife were naturally reluctant, but fortunately, when they thought that the Wen family was only in the neighboring city, they were much more relieved, and when they heard her say this, they became more and more sad, and the words of entrustment seemed to be inexhaustible.
Seeing this, Yu Zhao silently withdrew from the house, and took Luo Zhi back to the yard to play on the swing, sensibly leaving them room to say goodbye.
After a while, the sun was a little bigger, Luo Zhi had a whim, and immediately went to make mint cakes for Yu Zhao, and instructed: "Hening has fun himself, Aji will bring it to you." ”
Seeing that she was happy, Yu Zhao couldn't bear to refuse, nodded again and again, and waited in place according to her words, the swing was enough, only boredom remained, Yu Zhao leaned on the swing and shook it for a while.
In a daze, I suddenly saw Lianye coming in from the outer courtyard with a letter. "Miss, there is a son outside, let me deliver you a letter, do you know each other?"
Before Yu Zhao could react, Lotus Flower, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly spit out the lychee kernel in her mouth, and jumped up in a hurry: "Throw it away, you just came back, I don't know, the one named Xu Ling has been pestering Miss for a long time, writing something about some and not, Miss can't even remember what he looks like." ”
Xu Ling, this person, is the lover with her childhood sweetheart mentioned by Wen Guan, Yu Zhao originally thought that he was just a cover he used to prevaricate Wen Guan, and he didn't take it to heart. Who knew that it didn't take long for the love poems to come in one after another, in various ways.
The affection mentioned in it is deep, as if he is very familiar with Yu Zhao, if it is an unfamiliar little girl, she will definitely be moved by this sweet words. But Yu Zhao had practiced killing demons and destroying demons in the Chu Palace, and watching him sing his amorous one-man show happily, there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he only felt speechless.
No matter how carefully he thought about it, Yu Zhao really couldn't remember what this person looked like, and thought that this person was a person who was messing around, so he asked people to throw the letter back twice.
With such a refusal, Xu Ling still didn't give up and grasped the rules, and presented a letter every two days, and also gave some useless tokens made by himself, which completely made Yu Zhao bored with this person who had no impression. I commanded that anyone who saw him deliver a letter should burn it in front of him.
Lianye only came back from Baishan Temple with Yu Lu two days ago, I didn't know, I mistakenly took this letter today, Yu Zhao didn't want to look at it, and ordered coldly: "Take it out, even if the person is not at the door, chase it to Xufu and burn it to him!" ”
Lotus Flower was also very angry and slapped the table. "Why don't Miss let me go over and beat him, and see if he dares to come in the future!"
Just handed over the letter, Bian was indeed serious, and Lianye persuaded steadily: "You are more steady, if you offend someone, the hatred will be recorded on the head of the young lady!" ”
"Flower girl, take someone with you, I'm not afraid." Yu Zhao didn't take this kind of person who forgot his roots in his heart, he was so annoyed that he readily agreed.
The lotus flower got the order as she wished, jumped down from the pedal, and under the surprised gaze of the lotus leaf, she pulled the letter and walked out, saying proudly as she went: "Just kidding, the young lady is going to marry the crown prince in the future, how can she be afraid of such people?" ”
"Fear of whom?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the outer courtyard, and Yu Zhao was so startled that he got up from the swing. The surrounding subordinates hurriedly knelt down and bowed their heads: "See the crown prince." ”
Ye Geqi hurriedly walked in from outside, and he obviously heard what Lotus Flower said earlier, and the smile on his face showed that he was in a good mood.
From the entrance, he searched until he locked on to Yu Zhao under the vines, and his eyes did not move away. slowed down his pace and walked towards her, and told the reason: "The happy event of Lord Nanrong is approaching, my father and queen mother have sent me to give congratulatory gifts, seeing that Nanrong Mansion is busy, it is inconvenient to alarm the general and his wife, so I will come to talk to you first." ”
The people around him were very discerning, and after the courtesy, they found a reason to go out, obviously to make room for the two to cultivate their relationship. Lotus Flower also wanted to slip away, but was stopped by Yu Zhao. "You don't have to go, make tea for the crown prince."
After speaking, Yu Zhaofu sat on the swing, looked at Ye Geqi who was getting closer and closer, and said softly: "The crown prince has worked hard, I thank Your Majesty and the queen on behalf of Nanrong Mansion first." ”
Jegery approached, sat down on the swing next to her, and turned to look at her with a smile. "I don't think it's hard to come to see you." Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of the lychee shell next to the stone table, and said, "Do you like to eat lychees?" I'll have someone send it over, and the cherries and bayberry will still be pleasing to you? ”
I don't know if it's because of a weak heart, the lotus flower pouring tea next to me accidentally slipped and broke the tea cup, and I was in a hurry to pick it up, Yu Zhao hurriedly stopped. "Just cut your hands carefully, just go and get a broom to sweep."
Lotus Flower hurriedly said yes and hurriedly retreated.
After she left, Jegeqi asked, "Who did the girl say she was afraid of?" Who is it? ”
Yu Zhao told the truth. "A person in the neighboring city is blindly stalking, which is not worth mentioning."
As he spoke, a slightly early ripening grape on the vine fell, just on the back of Yu Zhao's hand, and the purple-red juice remained on the snow-white skin, which was particularly conspicuous.
Yu Zhao was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe it, and the moment his hand let go of the swing rope, he was seized by Ye Geqi to hold it.
first subconsciously broke free, but Yu Zhao found that he used his strength just right, and he didn't feel that it was forced, but he just couldn't pull it out, and he was a little embarrassed.
Ye Geqi didn't feel embarrassed, and naturally wiped her hands clean, while responding to what she had just told: "I'm afraid it's not just the Xu family, Nanrong Mansion has a strong family business, how many people were looking forward to getting a piece of the pie, but now that you're back, you can take it away with a pot, and they will naturally peep secretly." The man just now is just a little bolder. ”
Hearing him accurately point out that it was someone from the Xu family, Yu Zhao withdrew his hand and asked, "Does the crown prince know who it is?" ”
Ye Geqi replied: "I have already sent you away, that person named Xu Ling should never come to bother you again." ”
"Thank you."
"Between you and me, why do you need to say thanks."
The conversation ended there, and somehow, the lotus flower went to get the broom for a long time and couldn't get it back, and the courtyard was unusually quiet.
