Cotton, who had been hiding in the shadows and had been following Zhang Qiuchi, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the young man's embarrassed appearance in the water.

What about the righteousness and courage that is said to be good?

Why do you think that if he doesn't make a move, the eldest prince will put his life into it!

Cotton spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and rushed to the edge of the pond, and then a fierce man plunged into the water, and did not even make much splash.

This! It's called real swimming! Eldest son, have you seen it, have you learned?

Cotton soon swam to Zhang Qiuchi's side and raised one of his arms.

Zhang Qiuchi breathed in the hard-won air while choking on the water: "First ...... Save her first! ”

Cotton was silent.

He seemed to suddenly understand why the third girl told him thousands of times at a young age, asking him to stay by the eldest prince's side at all times-

This is the virtue of giving up oneself and purifying all beings...... Who doesn't have to worry about it!

For the first time, he knew that the original mud bodhisattva could not protect himself when he crossed the river, and there was still a follow-up - that is, it was already difficult to protect himself, and he had to insist on protecting others.

Son, stop talking, isn't it okay for you to respect the living Bodhisattva?

Cotton insisted on saving Zhang Qiuchi first.

In his eyes, the person who bought him was the third girl, and the third girl asked him to protect the eldest son, so he would not allow the slightest mistake to happen.

As for the drowning little maid, he has nothing to do with him, and he can be regarded as doing a good deed every day by scooping people up.

Zhang Meixian, who was mistaken for a little maid, was rudely dragged ashore by cotton, fell to the ground and coughed out a few mouthfuls of pool water, and at the same time, her frightened head gradually regained a trace of consciousness.

"Are you alright?"

The young man's voice of concern sounded overhead.

Zhang Meixian subconsciously raised her head.

Her eyes were so painful and astringent from the pool that she was immersed in, and her vision was blurred.

In a drowsy haze, she could vaguely see the outline of a young man's gentle and handsome face being stained by the night, which was particularly unreal.

"Who are you?" Zhang Meixian asked as she was still breathing smoothly.

The other party seemed to be stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "...... Eldest sister? How could it be you? ”

Zhang Meixian was stunned.

As her vision gradually became clearer, she finally saw the appearance of the person in front of her completely.

This is not the eldest son of the second uncle...... Zhang Qiuchi?

That is, the son of Aunt Miao who secretly met and talked with the Liu family!

Zhang Meixian suddenly became nervous, and she was about to stand up with her hands on the ground.

After Zhang Qiuchi recognized her, he didn't ask her why she fell into the water here, but said, "Didn't the eldest sister bring the maid here?" Do you want me to find the maid and send the eldest sister back to change her clothes and ask the doctor? ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhang Meixian's tone was weak but extremely firm.

Zhang Qiuchi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Thank you for saving me." Zhang Meixian's tone was a little slower, but she said: "But tonight, I want to keep it secret and don't tell anyone about it." ”

Zhang Qiuchi was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.

It is not a glorious thing for a woman to fall into the water, not to mention that Fang Cai Mian also went into the water to save people...... The eldest sister is probably worried that spreading it will be bad for her reputation, right?

But he was negligent.

Zhang Qiuchi nodded and agreed, promising that he would not say it.

He always has good intentions towards strangers, let alone sisters and brothers in the same house.

But Zhang Meixian's current appearance, if she is seen on the way back, she still can't hide it.

Zhang Qiuchi thought for a while, and then proposed: "This place is the closest to the third sister's Yu Yuan, the eldest sister might as well go to the third sister to change clothes and take shelter for a while." ”

Zhang Meixian was a little hesitant when she heard this.

Third sister?

Zhang Meishou has been delicate and domineering since he was a child, and he was coaxed by Zhang Meiyan to be obedient - Zhang Meixian was very unaccustomed to this, because she didn't have much affection for Zhang Meishou, the sister who was separated by a room.

But she could also see that after many recent events, the second room and the big room had been separated, and according to what her father told her grandmother that day...... The second sister had a private meeting with Deng Yu and was caught, and the third sister's design was in it.

She didn't believe it very much, but at today's family banquet, she looked at Zhang Meishou and always felt as if she had changed into a different person.

Zhang Meixian couldn't say what she felt in her heart, but now she wanted her to go to Zhang Meishou's yard for a while, and she always felt that it was not a good idea.

Zhang Qiuchi saw that she didn't speak, so he had no choice but to say, "If the eldest sister has other arrangements, I will go back first." ”

He was eager to help others, but he didn't have to meddle.

Besides, this body is wet and cold.

"Wait......"

Zhang Meixian called out to him.

There was no way she could just go back to her yard like this—

Even so, there seems to be no choice other than asking the third sister for help.

……

In the courtyard, Zhang Meishou had already washed up, and was lying on the bed, pressing a soft pillow under him, holding a picture album and watching it intently.

She doesn't like poetry and articles, but she is obsessed with everything related to calligraphy and painting, and she likes paper-cutting because of this.

It's just that I just rely on my love, and I have no one to guide me in my previous life, and I even rely on myself to copy blindly, so I think I haven't learned any birds in the end.

But I don't want to learn what to look like, it's enough to do what I like and what I like.

This album was obtained from my father, not the work of my ancestors, but the essay album of Li Dongyang, a famous genius and former speaker of the East Palace.

Li Dongyang was a famous prodigy in Beijing when he was young, and when he was eight years old, he entered the palace examination and was appointed by the first emperor to study in the country, and at the age of seventeen, he won the first place in the second class in the palace examination.

Last year, Li Dongyang, who was the speaker of the East Palace at the time, died of illness due to his father Li Chun, and now he is guarding the system at home.

At this time, Master Li's pen still contains the air of youth and arrogance, compared with the calm and introverted in the later period, the atmosphere is majestic, slightly green, but high-spirited.

Zhang Meishou commented in his heart.

She unconsciously thought of Li Dongyang, the minister of the humerus who was also Zhu Youzhang during his reign, because her son Zhu Zhao was mediocre and incompetent, after Zhu Youzhang's death, she resigned with Xie Qian many times - she always refused to allow it, and dissuaded her with both soft and hard.

In the end, Li Dongyang, who was the head of the famous people, even did not hesitate to declare that he was suffering from a very serious "hemorrhoid" in the court, and on this ground, he begged to return to retirement.

She was no longer embarrassed to stay, and the emperor was speechless, so he could only grant what he requested......

When Zhang Meishou was in his trance, he suddenly heard Zhang Meixian and Zhang Qiuchi coming, and couldn't help but be very surprised.

Zhang Qiuchi is gone, why did Zhang Meixian, who has never had anything to do with her, come to Yuyuan?

And when he put on his coat and went to see people outside, he saw that both of them looked like they were embarrassed chickens, Zhang Meishou was even more surprised!

"Big brother, big sister, what are you doing here?"

How do you look like you've just been fished out of the river?

As soon as Zhang Qiuchi was linked to the falling water, Zhang Meishou couldn't help but get nervous.
