Zhu Xian carried the lantern to the mysterious master's residence, passing by the pond, she shone the lantern on the pond, those goldfish tails have already "withered", they are like soaked paper, broken into petals and floating on the water weakly, shocking!

She retrieved the lantern and saw through the hole in the rockery a warm yellow glow of the lantern under the eaves.

"Wen Jin, it turns out that you are here, I am looking for you everywhere!" She walked over softly and said softly to Cao Zhijin, who had shrunk the whole person into her cloak.

Cao Zhijin raised her head from her cloak, and her warm face was blown by the cold wind, and her face was immediately covered with a layer of moisture.

Cao Zhijin raised his hand to wipe it, and Zhu Xian handed her a handkerchief and said, "You don't seem surprised that I can find this?"

"You don't seem surprised I'm here." Cao Zhijin lightly touched the moisture on his face and looked at her.

Zhu Xian pouted and said: "Who said that I was not surprised, I was so unexpected that I would die, I had already told you a thousand times, but you still turned a deaf ear!"

"But seeing that you didn't deliberately hide it from me, I'm relieved!"

She also learned from Cao Zhijin, shrunk the whole person into the cloak, and sat down next to Cao Zhijin.

"And you're going to come over like this?" Cao Zhijin looked at her and asked.

She knew that there was still a dry hope in her heart, and she thought that if she didn't learn anything about the mysterious master, she would go out one day! That's why she's always considered this place a forbidden place.

Zhu Xian sighed and said, "Because it's too lonely to be alone, I'll accompany you!"

Although I don't know what Cao Zhijin's plans are, and I don't know if her plans can succeed, but she is indeed the first rain that she has fallen in the life of Qinxiangyuan in seven years, for this, she is willing to gamble on the future for the rest of her life, even if she will be trapped here for a lifetime in the future, she will admit it!

Because, if she and Wen Jin were to part ways at this moment, she really wouldn't be able to hold on!

She took out the note left by Cao Zhijin from her sleeve, shook it in front of Cao Zhijin, and said, "This is the thirty-first sheet, and I will keep the rest for you!"

Cao Zhijin smiled at her and didn't say anything.

Until the time of the child, the two did not say another word.

As soon as he arrived, Cao Zhijin stood up and pulled the confused Zhu Xian up.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Xian asked.

"Go back!" Cao Zhijin replied.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Xian asked again.

"Go back, wake up!" Cao Zhijin used a bamboo pole to remove the lantern under the eaves.

A gust of cold wind poured into Zhu Xian's clothes from the neckline, Zhu Xian was awake for the most part, shrunk his neck and stomped his feet and asked Cao Zhijin, "What time is it?"

"It's time." Cao Zhijin pulled her out.

"Don't you wait until dawn?" Zhu Xian looked at her puzzled and asked, "And this lantern, we already have one, this one is hanging here!" ”

Cao Zhijin shook his head and said, "No, we have to go back to sleep!" As for the lanterns, there is no point in hanging them overnight. ”

Zhu Xian didn't understand what she meant, a slight coldness fell on her face, she looked up at the sky, and said in surprise: "It's snowing!"

"Let's go, it's cold!" Cao Zhijin grabbed her arm and stomped her foot vigorously.

Zhu Xian shrunk his neck tighter, and said in a trembling voice: "You go to sleep with me tonight, I'll go to the kitchen to boil a big pot of hot water, by the way, rely on a few sweet potatoes, let's take a bath after eating, and then sleep beautifully!"

Zhu Xian seemed to have become extraordinarily relaxed, and she found that it was sweeter to sleep in the master's residence that she had avoided before!

Maybe she has been deceiving herself all along, if she can't get out, she can't get out, even if she deliberately avoids her master, it won't help!

She looked at Cao Zhijin beside her and smiled, giving up a dead hope, she got a touch of warmth that she could touch!

Cao Zhijin originally wanted to go back to her yard to sleep, but for the sake of roasted sweet potatoes, she gave in!

The next day, when the sun was shining, Cao Zhijin opened the door of the house, and the courtyard was already covered with ankle-deep snow, and the earth was covered in silver, as if a world had changed, and the original desolation had been swept away.

The courtyard has been swept out of a sheep intestine path by Zhu Xian, and the snow swept up is piled up on both sides of the road, not as soft as the naturally falling snow, and has solidified into translucent edges and corners, which makes people feel cold as soon as they get close.

Even if it's cold, it's a delightful cold.

Zhu Xian poked his head out of the kitchen when he heard the movement, and smiled at Cao Zhijin: "Wake up!" The fire in the stove is still burning, why don't you come in and warm up? ”

Cao Zhijin nodded, and when he walked into the kitchen, his hands were already red from cold.

Zhu Xian put the hot meal into the food box, closed the lid of the food box, and wrapped a large cotton cloth tightly around the food box.

Cao Zhijin saw that she was busy and said to her: "Zhu Xian, today I will go to deliver food to the master for you!"

Zhu Xian was stunned, nodded, and told her: "Be careful when passing by the pond, the road is covered by heavy snow, don't walk along the pond!"

Cao Zhijin nodded and went out with the food box.

When she came to her master's residence, she knocked on the door as usual, and said to her, "Master, the slave has come to bring you food!"

As usual, no one answered.

Cao Zhijin waited for two breaths, pushed the door and walked in.

She lowered her head and followed the direction of her memory to find the table where the food box was held, but unlike before, there was an extra chair next to it, and the white skirt was fluffy next to the foot of the chair.

She was the same as yesterday, still without shoes.

Cao Zhijin did not hesitate for half a minute because of this, she took off the cotton cloth held on the food box and retreated respectfully.

"Pond ......," she said suddenly.

Her voice was as nice as a graceful oriole, perhaps because she hadn't spoken for too long, and her pronunciation was a little unnatural.

"Why do you grow goldfish tails in ponds?"

Cao Zhijin was not surprised by her opening, she had been planning for so long, just to wait for this moment!

"In order to dedicate the most colorful things of Qinxiang Garden to the master!" Cao Zhijin took out the painting she had picked up from outside the house last time from her sleeve and offered it with both hands.

The woman opened the crumpled paper and looked at it, and then asked her, "Then why do you hang a lantern under my roof every day, and then take it away when the hour is over?" ”

Cao Zhijin replied respectfully: "The slave thinks that the master needs a lantern, but it is not a lantern that hangs there all the time but does not move. The lantern will be lit every day, and it will be extinguished every day. ”

To put it bluntly, it's companionship!

Cao Zhijin believes she can understand!

"What's your name?" She asked curiously.

"Wen Jin." Cao Zhijin replied respectfully.

"Wen Jin, do you dare to look up at me?" The woman said meaningfully.

Cao Zhijin didn't hesitate, slowly raised his head and looked at her.

I saw that the woman in front of her did not have the imagined resentment and sorrow, she had the face of a small jasper, but she had a temperament of both rigidity and softness.
