Chapter Seventy-Two: Bitter and Sweet

After replying to the letter, Xu Miaoyun was always irritable for some reason, and she was not interested in eating her favorite food on weekdays, and she couldn't even sleep during her lunch break. It's rare that the two followers are not here today, Xu Miaoyun wants to be quiet and quiet alone, so he ordered a few maids not to follow, and went out of the palace to walk around by himself.

People and cars came and went on the avenue, shouting and buying and selling, and the familiar scene made Xu Miaoyun can't help but think of the situation of traveling with Zhu Di during the Shangyuan Festival, and she was even more upset, so she simply walked to the inaccessible path.

I don't know if it's bad luck, Xu Miaoyun was surrounded by a group of ruffians as soon as she entered a small alley.

"Little lady, why is it alone? Do you need your brothers to accompany you? ”

Xu Miaoyun took a sip, she really didn't look at the yellow calendar when she went out, why didn't she do anything well today?

If it was normal, Xu Miaoyun didn't bother to take care of these people, and left as soon as he flew away, but Xu Miaoyun, who was already upset and irritable today, was still blocked by a group of people who didn't have long eyes, and suddenly became angry, "Get out!" ”

"Yo, the little lady has a lot of temper."

"Brothers, I like it enough."

A group of people approached Xu Miaoyun with obscene faces, seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, Xu Miaoyun's clenched fists were already bruised. Just as Xu Miaoyun was about to make a move, a voice suddenly came from the mouth of the alley: "Bold!" Who committed the murder here? ”

A few hooligans were also very unhappy when they saw someone ruining their good deeds, "Where did you come from, dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs?" ”

As he spoke, he was about to step forward and beat people, but unfortunately the person who came didn't say a word, took out a token, and several people looked at it and were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Get out. If there is a next time, it will not be spared. ”

Xu Miaoyun watched this group of people go away steadily, and before the fire in her stomach could be released, she held back stiffly.

I didn't look at it carefully, I don't know what token works so well, I just think that the person who took the token is a little familiar. When I saw the people getting off the carriage at the entrance of the alley, I remembered, isn't this the horseman who Zhu Hu surprised the horse on the street before?

The person who came was naturally Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou.

Zhu Hu went out today to check the situation in the medicine garden, and went to see an old man by the way, when he came out of the old man's house, he saw a group of people following a girl, so he asked Honeysuckle to follow in a carriage, but he didn't know that the person he inadvertently saved was Xu Miaoyun.

"Fourth sister-in-law?" After struggling, Zhu Hu finally called the fourth sister-in-law, otherwise, how else could she call it?

"Thank you, King Zhou." Xu Miaoyun replied.

"I don't know why the fourth sister-in-law is here?"

"I had nothing to do, I walked around, but I didn't want to meet these little people. Rescue the king of Zhou. Although Zhu Hu disturbed his plan to vent, in the end he saved himself, and he still had to say the words of thanks.

"The fourth sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite. I don't know if the fourth sister-in-law wants to go home? "Zhu Hu is afraid that Xu Miaoyun will encounter another errand pool.

"Not for now, I just came out." The heart did not disperse, but fell on fire, and now when I go back, won't it come out in vain?

"I don't know if the fourth sister-in-law has a place to go? If you don't mind, can you enjoy your face and have a cup of tea? Zhu Hu could see that Xu Miaoyun was not in a very good mood today, and remembered that she had just said that she had nothing to do and walked around, thinking that it was really a purposeless stroll. It is too dangerous to be alone with a woman, it is better to drink tea, wait for about the same time, and send people back to the palace by yourself, which can be regarded as an explanation to the fourth brother. Moreover, Zhu Hu was also faintly looking forward to staying with Xu Miaoyun for a while.

"It's fine." I was tired after walking around for a long time.

The two came to the private room of the teahouse and sat down, and Xiao Er quickly served a pot of Zhengshan Xiaozhong, and the thick fragrance of tea gradually spread.

Xu Miaoyun picked up a cup of tea poured by Zhu Hu and tasted it carefully, "No wonder the ancients said, 'A good taste invades poetry and dreams', this room is full of fragrance, bitter and sweet, it is really a good taste, don't blame so many people with good tea."

Zhu Hu also took a sip, "Listening to the words of the fourth sister-in-law, it seems that you don't often drink tea?" ”

"Indeed, I rarely drink tea, always lack a bit of patience, this selection of tea, water, incense, hand purification, selection, cooking tea are too quiet and elegant, and more of the breeze, bright moon, pine yin, bamboo rhyme, plum blossom, snow and other interesting and artistic conception, I am a layman, I am really afraid of tarnishing such elegant things."

"The choice of tea and water is just a matter of personal preference...... When you taste all the teas and get what you love, it doesn't have to be so complicated. Whether it's the breeze and the moon, or the snow and the clouds, it's just a state of mind, and if you have a state of mind, what's the matter? Self-soaking, self-pouring, self-drinking, self-enjoyment. ”

"Indeed, it's like I always feel troubled and don't drink tea. Today, I think this tea is very delicious. Xu Miaoyun raised the cup in her hand, looked at it carefully, and turned the cup from time to time.

Zhu Lu saw Xu Miaoyun smiling lightly at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes seemed to be sad, no wonder she would go out of the house alone and wander around, it seemed that she was depressed, but what could she do? Not to mention that she can't solve her problems, and she doesn't even have the qualifications to say what she cares about. Thinking of this, Zhu Hu also felt a pain in his heart, and raised his head and took a big sip.

Xu Miaoyun saw that Zhu Di suddenly poured his brain into his mouth as if he was drinking, and couldn't help but be curious, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you poured yourself drinks and enjoyed yourself?" Why did the prince drink heavily? ”

Zhu Hu suddenly realized that he was out of shape, and he also smiled: "So, no matter how you drink, it's good to be happy." ”

"King Zhou is transparent."

Originally, Xu Miaoyun had been avoiding Zhu Hu because of the incident of startling horses on Chang'an Street, but later he talked to Zhu Di about the moon, and he was not afraid that everyone would know his original temperament, and he was much more natural in the face of Zhu Hu. Between words and deeds, it always makes people feel comfortable, and talking to them is like a friend for many years.

As a result, Xu Miaoyun is less alienated and polite, and more friendly and casual.

Feeling Xu Miaoyun's changes in herself, Zhu Hu's indifferent face was filled with a shallow smile, and her eyes were bright and clear.

When we talk about drinks, time always flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already dusk. Zhu Di was not there, and Xu Miaoyun didn't need to go back to the house to dine with him, so he responded to Zhu Hu's invitation, and the two went to Linglong Pavilion.

"King Zhou is free, I have a treat today, the meal in this Linglong Pavilion is the most delicious, you have to taste it." Xu Miaoyun filled Zhu Di with tea and said.

Zhu Hu smiled slightly, "I originally invited the fourth sister-in-law, how did it become the fourth sister-in-law to entertain?" ”

"Oh, what's polite to me?" Xu Miaoyun waved her hand unceremoniously.

Zhou Lu was very happy when he heard Xu Miaoyun say this, but unfortunately, he heard Xu Miaoyun say, "As a sister-in-law, you should have a meal."

The corners of Zhu Hu's smiling mouth had just been raised, and they froze on his face. I knew that as long as this sister-in-law shouted, it would be like the abyss, becoming a flood between you and me, no matter how I struggled and entangled, I couldn't cross it. However, why am I ready to have a relationship with you just as an uncle and sister-in-law, and when I listen to you say the word sister-in-law lightly and naturally, my heart still hurts so much?

"The fourth sister-in-law is polite." Zhu Hu took the tea and drank it all, and sure enough, as you said, it was bitter and astringent...... It's just that being able to sit together now is a gift, and the bitter taste is sweet after all......

After finishing the meal, Zhu Hu insisted on sending Xu Miaoyun back to the palace, for fear of encountering arrests again.

In fact, Xu Miaoyun wanted to say no, but she always felt that it was inappropriate for her uncle and sister-in-law to ride in the same sedan chair, but she was embarrassed to refuse again and again, and she couldn't really agree to Zhu Hu, occupying other people's sedan chairs, and letting a delicate son ride back home? That's right, in Xu Miaoyun's opinion, Zhu Hu is slender and thin, much weaker than herself. So, the two of them took Zhu Hu's carriage to the Yanwang Mansion.

After seeing Xu Miaoyun enter the door, Zhu Hu got up and left. Zhu Hu sat with his eyes closed, full of thoughts.

You're so unhappy, teach me how to let go?

Here, Xu Miaoyun fell on the bed after returning to the Tilting Hua Palace, and instructed Qingyu not to disturb anyone. Hongyu was at a loss, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know, I don't know what's wrong today? It looks like he's in a bad mood. Ziyu also shook her head, looking worried.

"Okay, you go down to warm up the supper for the young lady, prepare the bath soup, and I'll keep watch here." Qingyu sent a few people down and guarded the door by herself.

Beiping Cheng proclaimed the political secretary of the embassy.

"Anything else?" Zhu Di sat in the main seat, his left hand habitually tapping on the table.

"Back to the prince, it's gone." Su Ying said respectfully.

"You go down first." Zhu Di waved his hand.

Although Zhu Di is far away in Beiping, the big and small things around Xu Miaoyun are clear. Whether it is Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai eating and drinking in the palace, or a few people going out to play, Su Ying will report the news from the capital to Zhu Di one by one. Fang Cai said that Xu Miaoyun went out to meet a gangster, was rescued by King Zhou, and the two of them drank tea and ate and other matters in detail, especially the news that Xu Miaoyun might be in a bad mood that Su Zhan found out from Hongyu.

After Su Ying withdrew, Zhu Di couldn't help but fall into deep thought, what happened to make you leave the house alone and lock yourself in the house for a whole day? Fu remembered that Zhu Lu and Xu Miaoyun drank tea and ate and rode in the same sedan chair, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and he didn't know if he was angry that someone dared to blatantly tease Princess Yan, or if he was angry that Xu Miaoyun had no defense against men and women.

"It seems that it is time to make a quick decision and go back as soon as possible......"

Zhu Di muttered to himself for a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned out the letter that Xu Miaoyun gave back, because Xu Miaoyun did not reply to the first letter, the third letter had just been sent, and Zhu Di had not received it yet. The free and easy book is like flowing water, as if Xu Miaoyun's agile figure jumps on the paper.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Di finally picked up the pen and wrote two lines of words, and asked Su Ying to send it back to Yanwang's Mansion quickly.
