The newly rented courtyard is not far from the inn where Xu Shu lived before, just two streets away, and most of the people living in the south of the city are wealthy merchants, and the courtyard of the whole street is built very gorgeously, with a high wall of blue bricks, even the road is two feet wider than the street next door.

Xu Shu's rented courtyard is said to have been purchased by a wealthy businessman to give him an outer room, but the rich businessman was discovered by the eldest lady of the family before he could hide the outer room golden house, and the eldest woman beat the outer room and drove it away, and the house was naturally empty. The rich businessman entrusted it to the tooth shop for resale, but this yard is smaller than the yard next to it, and most of the rich businessmen from the ground are dragging their families, and the small yard is not enough to live, so it has not been sold for a long time, so it was changed to a lease, which was rented by Xu Shu.

This small courtyard is located at the corner of the street, so it is smaller than the surrounding courtyards, but this also happens to have a benefit, climbing up to the verandah on the second floor can just be at both ends of the street, in case something happens, you can also react early, which is the main reason why Xu Shu chose this small courtyard.

The carriage stopped after about two quarters of an hour, and helped Xu Shu out of the carriage, "Miss, it's here!" This is it! ”

The blue bricks build up the high wall, the house door is in the middle of the right position, there are three stone steps at the door, there are two small stone lions on both sides of the door, the chessboard door panel on the opposite side, one left and one right are each decorated with a copper beast-faced door cymbal, and then down is the bronze lock that locks the door.

Bang Feng took the key and opened the door, helped Xu Shu to enter the door, and the coachman followed behind and unloaded the threshold and drove the carriage into the upside-down room.

Bang Feng pointed to the courtyard and said, "The people of Yaxing have just sent someone to clean it, the yard is clean everywhere, the house has been scrubbed, and the slaves and maids such as bedding and utensils have also bought new ones and personally watched them arrange them!" The well is next to the kitchen at the back of the house, so it will be convenient to fetch water for cooking in the future"

"Bang Feng is really capable!" Xu Shu praised it, stood in the middle of the courtyard and raised her head to take a deep breath, this is the breath of freedom, she has never been so comfortable as now.

Suddenly, something fell on her face and slid down, Xu Shu reached out and pinched it, it turned out to be a petal, but she didn't smell a trace of fragrance, is this a begonia petal?

"Are there begonias in the yard?"

Bang Feng glanced around and shook his head, "No, there are only two golden cinnamon plants and a few pots of chrysanthemums!" There is also a magnolia next to the well, which has not yet bloomed at this time! ”

So where do the begonia petals come from?

Pinching the petals, the smile on Xu Shu's face faded a little, and another petal fell on his face, Xu Shu let it slip down, raised his head and "looked" in the direction of the second floor. Only then Xu Shu was immersed in the joy of regaining his freedom, and Zhou Jin deliberately hid his breath, because Xu Shu didn't realize it for a while, and now that he came back to his senses, he woke up to the people who shouldn't have been hiding here in the house.

Bang Feng looked at Xu Shu's head and exclaimed, "Yes...... It was the man...... "When did that man appear here?" Why didn't you find it just now?

"It's windy on the second floor, let's sit down and have a cup of tea!"

"Okay!" Zhou Jin threw down all the begonia petals in his hand, the position and distance were just right, and all the petals fell on Xu Shu's body, and then clapped his hands and jumped down from the window.

Xu Shu patted the petals on her body and stepped into the house and sat directly on the top, Zhou Jin looked at the furnishings in the room and sat next to Xu Shu.

"Pull the wind and make tea!"

"Miss...... We just moved in, and we haven't had time to prepare tea yet......" looked at Xu Shu in embarrassment.

"Then go buy it! Buy it now! Xu Shu fixed "looking" at the wind.

Bang Feng understood, "Slave and maid are going!" Before he could reach the door, he called the coachman to set up the carriage, and the coachman had just unloaded the carriage and put it on again and drove the carriage out.

Zhou Jin quietly watched the wind leave, the corners of his mouth pulled out a cold arc, don't even think about running!

"There is no tea, no hot water, only a pot of cold water, King Pingning has more to bear!" Xu Shu carried the teapot and poured a cup of cold water for Zhou Jin.

"Angry?" Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows, Xu Shu was extraordinarily calm when he was really angry, and he was polite and thoughtful, but before Xu Shu could answer Zhou Jin, his face was already cold, "Do you still dare to be angry?" ran away without a sound, do you know that I have been looking for you these days...... How much has it delayed me? ”

"So I don't even have the qualifications to be angry?" Xu Shu calmly asked, "What does King Pingning think of me Xu Shu in his heart?" A hostage you have taken hostage? Or is it dependent on your vassals? ”

Zhou Jin didn't say anything with a dark face, before coming here, he imagined thousands of possible reactions of Xu Shu, but when he really faced Xu Shu's calm anger and cold questioning, he was still powerless to parry, Xu Shu was always good at hitting the weakest place in the depths of others' hearts.

"You said you were grateful to me for saving Richie's life, but are you grateful to me like that? Don't I even have the slightest freedom? Do I have to behave with your permission? Or are all the words of gratitude you said before fake, and your original intention was to put me under house arrest for your use? ”

Xu Shu's questioning after questioning made Zhou Jin speechless, and finally revealed the secret that Zhou Jin hid deep in his heart and was not an outsider.

Zhou Jin closed his eyes, he hadn't thought about how to speak, Xu Shu had already seen his purpose, no matter what he did in the future, he couldn't get rid of the suspicion of using her, but even so, Xu Shu still had to go with him today.

"Yes! I admit that I took you away at the beginning, not only because I wanted the bezoar, but not just because I was afraid that you would be implicated after the incident, I also hoped that you could do me a favor! It's just that Zhou Jin hasn't figured out how to talk to Xu Shu about this matter, and Xu Shu has already fled.

"Since it's helping, then I can choose not to help!" Xu Shu directly refused.

Zhou Jin showed a smile that was not what he expected, "I knew you would say this, so I haven't spoken!" ”

"Do you want to slowly impress me with gentle means, and in time I will willingly go to the soup for you?"

Xu Shu sneered, although Zhou Jin did not appear every day in the days of Hualou, but from time to time Yuzhu's mouth appeared, not "This is the son who ordered the slave to buy a girl, it is the most fashionable style at the moment!" ", that is, "Childe said that the girl loves to eat fish and shrimp, and specially instructed the kitchen to make it for the girl!" Usually when her daughter's family encounters such a thing, it will take a few days to secretly promise it, but she is Xu Shu, and her heart is not something that anyone can move if she wants to!
