CHAPTER XLII

Cui Mansion, West Courtyard.

The night is already thick, and the moon is hanging high outside the window, accompanied only by a few stars. The breeze is light, and I frequently listen to the spring insects fluttering on the paper.

Two blue and white lanterns were lit in the room, and Cui Yuzhu was thinly dressed, only wearing a powder blue blouse and sitting under the lamp to embroider.

Picking silk color matching, low eyebrows twisted line, the light reflects the soft side face, demure as water, like a fairy in the clouds. She held a needle in her hand, and she used a lot of thought to embroider one peach blossom after another.

She took the handkerchief to cover her lips and coughed lightly a few times, and then pinched the needle and threaded it, as far as her eyes could see, there were thousands of gentleness.

After several previous hesitations, after Zhu Jingming stood outside the window and saw the slender and graceful shadow, they all turned into a mood called urgency.

Desperate to see someone.

He bent his fingers and was about to knock on the window, but before he dropped his hand, he was worried that he would scare her, so he quickly withdrew his hand and stood outside the window and tangled.

But it's all here, don't you leave without a look, it's not like him.

"Buckle"

In the quiet of the night, outside the boudoir, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the window, and Cui Yuzhu almost pinched a needle and pricked herself with a shake of her hand.

She was a little uneasy, and fearing that it would be an auditory hallucination, so she got up and went to the window, and asked tentatively, "Who?" ”

The voice is soft and crisp, and the tail note is trembling, and it is conceivable that the owner of the voice is coming with his heart at this moment.

Zhu Jingming couldn't bear to scare her, and hurriedly coughed lightly, "It's me." ”

It's a man's voice, and there's really someone......

This voice?

Cui Yuzhu couldn't believe her guess, but she vaguely knew that it was him, and she asked softly, "Is it the fourth brother?" ”

"Hmm."

It really is.

Cui Yuzhu hurriedly covered her mouth, tears fell down, and a feeling of surprise and joy enveloped her, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Yes, she thought she would never see her again.

"I ......" Cui Yuzhu sobbed twice, and was afraid that he would not like it when he heard it, so he hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and after calming his mood, he said: "Please wait for me, I am a little inconvenient...... Right away. ”

After speaking, he first hurriedly went to the dresser to hold a hairpin and pull a bun, and then hurriedly put on his clothes, and only dared to push open the window after making sure that there was nothing wrong.

Zhu Jingming was not impatient, listening to her voice was already a very beautiful thing, but it didn't matter if she was feeding mosquitoes outside.

He just heard her crying, and when he saw it, her eyes were red, and then he saw that her face was plain white, and there was not much blood on her lips. Just looking at him in a daze, seeing that the tears were full of tears and wanted to fall, it was really distressing.

"Coming so late, but it scared you?"

He was originally handsome, with eyebrows like swords and eyes like stars, but now when he sees him for a long time, he adds a little lover filter and looks at it again, and he feels that no one in the world can compare to him.

Cui Yuzhu came back to her senses and said softly, "I'm not scared, I didn't go to bed so early, you come in." ”

Although the male and female rooms are not right, he is not a bystander, and it is even worse to be seen outside.

Hearing this, Zhu Jingming opened the window into the house, and then gently covered the window.

I don't know if it's because of his height, the originally spacious boudoir looks much narrower as soon as he enters.

Cui Yuzhu lowered her eyebrows and silently poured tea.

He said: "I was not in Beijing during this time, and when I came back, I heard that you were sick, so I came to see if you were better?" ”

Cui Yuzhu shook his hand and said in his heart: It turns out that he is not in the capital, no wonder he didn't go to the appointment, then he didn't mean it, I thought about him like that before, but I was stingy.

Thinking about it like this, the whole person suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Sit down." Cui Yuzhu poured him a cup of tea, and said with a soft smile: "It's not a serious illness, it's just that it's a cold, so it doesn't matter much." ”

Zhu Jingming saw that her face was plain and pale, and her waist was as weak as a weak willow, and she didn't look like she was fine.

He frowned slightly and asked her, "Have you seen the doctor?" ”

Cui Yuzhu bit her lips lightly, and didn't hide it from him, "Look, it's just that I've been taking medicine for a long time, and I still haven't seen it." ”

As he spoke, he coughed lightly with a handkerchief.

Seeing her like this, a fire welled up in Zhu Jingming's heart, and he said angrily: "If you don't take this medicine well, you will change the doctor, and if it doesn't work, you will change it again!" It's been so long since you got a cold, and a minor illness can drag you out of a major illness, look at your face, is your father just letting you go? ”

Zhu Jingming has been in a high position for a long time, and his body naturally carries majesty, and his handsome face is cold, which makes her shrink in fright.

Cui Yuzhu nodded hurriedly, and said weakly: "Some of them, there are two doctors......

Zhu Jingming naturally heard the change in her tone, thinking that he might have scared her, so he took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I'm not murdering you, I'm just ......."

Just what?

Cui Yuzhu looked up at him, saw him turn around, and listened to him: "That's it, I'll call another doctor to check your pulse early tomorrow morning, since the current medicine is useless, don't take it yet." ”

"Oh, good."

Zhu Jingming had already walked to the place where she was sitting, leaning over to look at her unfinished embroidery on the embroidery frame, the peach trees were scattered, the petals were lifelike, and there were peach blossoms on the ground, pink and red, extremely beautiful.

Thinking that what she embroidered should be the peach blossom forest she said, he didn't go, but saw it in her embroidery.

He said, "This thing is so troublesome, what are you doing embroidering it?" ”

Cui Yuzhu smiled: "It's okay anyway, it's a way to pass the time." ”

What do the girls think, and where do the men understand?

Of course Zhu Jingming didn't understand.

He even wanted to knock on the melon in his head to figure out what was going on inside, knowing that his body was not yet neat, and he was still lighting the lamp and spending his time embroidering there at night, what was more important than his body.

Zhu Jingming looked at her and said, "Before the illness is cured, you are not allowed to embroider again, you know?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Hearing her response, Zhu Jingming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you should rest early, and I'll go first." ”

Cui Yuzhu heard that he was leaving, so she only glanced at the cup of tea that had not been touched, and then hurriedly followed him, biting her lip and wanting to speak.

"What's wrong?"

What's the matter, where did Cui Yuzhu say it with a thin face, she just looked at him with her misty apricot eyes, and she could drop a few pearl tears in just a few blinks, but it was such a pitiful appearance that made it even more pitiful.

"I ......" she couldn't speak, she couldn't say a word about what she wanted to say, she couldn't say that you stay a little longer, I still have a lot to say to you.

What has become of her in this way?

"What's wrong?"

Cui Yuzhu shook her head.

When Zhu Jingming saw her like this, he also guessed six or seven points in his heart, and his heart seemed to have been poured with hot water over and over again, and it was hot and hot.

He said softly, "Have you ever heard of a man entering a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night? I shouldn't have been, but I'm here, and staying here will be a waste of your reputation, and you know what the consequences will be? ”

Cui Yuzhu was stunned by what he said, she understood the reason, but she was reluctant in her heart.

As if she was provoked by him, her tears fell down her eyes, and she said aggrievedly: "Then if you want to leave, what are you talking about?" It's like I wish I could keep you, do you treat me as a rare you? Even if I haven't been given a marriage, I can marry it, just marry Zhang San and Li Si, and you don't have to worry about it......"

"Is that what I mean?"

Cui Yuzhu glared at him with tears in her eyes, then turned her back to cover her face with a handkerchief and sobbed softly.

Somehow, I love to cry more in front of him, knowing that he doesn't like to cry and cry women, but he can't help it.

Zhu Jingming had a headache when he saw her like this, so he had to say to her softly, "I won't let you marry Zhang San and Li Si, if you believe me and wait patiently for a year and a half, I will definitely marry you." ”

"I don't believe it...... You don't even tell me your name, and I don't know where I live, how can I trust you? ”

"You believe me."

"I don't believe it."

“……”

It's so hard to coax.
