……

Different from the wine in the Winding Garden, the Moxiang Pavilion is extremely quiet, without the slightest Chinese New Year's Eve atmosphere.

Zuo Yunyun sat expressionlessly in the study, with a squarely folded cloth bag in front of him.

Her eyes were unfocused, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Chunshui carefully cut the wick of the sparkling candle shorter, and the candlelight became steady and long, no longer flickering and dark.

When she saw that her master didn't move or make a sound, she just looked at the cloth bag made of folded handkerchiefs in a daze, so she subconsciously stretched out her hand

Before he touched the cloth bag, he heard a cold shout: "What are you doing!" ”

Chunshui was frightened and stammered: "Slaves, slaves and maids see that you are distracted, and want to move forward with you, but the candlelight is too dim for fear that you will hurt your eyes." ”

Zuo Yunyun restrained his anger and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, don't do superfluous things in the future, go out." ”

Chunshui blessed himself and quietly retreated.

Zuo Yunyun reached out and stroked the cloth bag, gently as if he was stroking his lover, back and forth several times.

Suddenly, she clenched her hand into a fist and slammed it on the bookcase, and the candlelight immediately shook violently.

"You can't even do such a trivial thing, and you are angry at the table, are humans as useless as you?"

In the darkness of the study, a joking voice came from it.

Zuo Yanyun's pupils shrank, and soon returned to normal: "It turned out to be you." ”

She held the cloth bag in her hand and sighed, "It's not that it's useless, it's that Zuo Di is too vigilant." No matter how many times I visited, I couldn't see it, and it was easy to wait for the family banquet, but it was far away, and I really couldn't find a chance to start. ”

A teenager slowly appeared in the shadows, with a disdainful smile on his lips: "Oh? No matter how far you go, you can always walk through. In my opinion, it's not that there is no chance to start, but I haven't found an opportunity to get out of the way after starting, right? ”

Zuo Yunyun was slightly stunned, and then smiled reluctantly: "You are joking, you just want to do the things you explain more securely, so as not to miss your big things." ”

Niu Kelian squinted at this cunning human being, and smiled without smiling: "Put away your little cleverness, I am not an ignorant human being, I will be deceived by your vicious skin." I have no personal enmity with Zuo Di, taking her away is just fulfilling a promise, you are the one who hates her to the bone. ”

It turns out that just grabbing isn't killing? A wave of disappointment welled up in Zuo Yunyun's heart.

She hid her thoughts and said sincerely: "It's because you are ignorant, you don't have to care." Rest assured, we will find an opportunity to get this done. It's just this soul nail, but it takes effect immediately after nailing it? ”

Niu Kelian was stunned, laughed for a while, and high-fived while laughing:

"Interesting, really interesting. I suddenly wondered how your brain grows? I'm obviously afraid that I'm going to die, and you do everything possible to make yourself more secure, how old are you? What an amazing human being. ”

Zuo Yunyun knew that in front of this "person", how to pretend was a waste of effort. She didn't argue, she simply bowed her head and said nothing.

Niu Kelian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "If it is an ordinary person, it will be effective immediately." But you are lucky, Zuo Di is not an ordinary person, if the object is her, it will take more than half an hour, to say the least, enough for you to run as far as you can. ”

Zuo Yunyun's heart was relieved, and he said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Yunyun will definitely live up to the trust." ”

"Don't make me wait too long......" Niu Kelian's body gradually became transparent as he spoke, and he quickly disappeared.

Zuo Yunyun's face flickered, and she carefully stuffed the cloth bag into her arms and blew out the candle.

……

In the twenty-third year of Chongwu, in the drunkenness of Zuo Di and the little sisters, Zuo Zhangheng and his wife came quietly day and night.

The Yang family rushed back to Changping with her husband, and the affairs of the house naturally returned to the hands of the second lady left.

Since Zuo Chengye was beaten and could only stay at home obediently, she seemed to have a lot of sunshine.

No longer eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, hiding behind the scenes, playing with the eyes of the heart to make stumbling blocks, but goes to the table to do it himself, and even his complexion is much better than before.

The old lady Zuo learned about her son's resignation since she woke up, and although she understood the reason, she was always stuck in her throat.

Now that Zuo Zhangheng has been personally invited back by the saint, there is an eldest princess with golden branches and jade leaves living in his house, not to mention how happy he is. With a smile on his face every day, he only hates that this matter needs to be kept secret and cannot be shown off, which is very scratching his heart.

There is an extra Xiao Zhen by Zuodi's side, although she often gets headaches, but she has to admit that her presence has greatly alleviated the melancholy of her family's parting.

Xie Ningge has always been obsessed with finding someone, except for the progress of Jia Niu's medical skills in the school, the rest of the time is still elusive, and most of them are not in the house.

……

Left House Main Courtyard.

The days flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month, the Shangyuan Festival.

After all, Zuo Di has more than 20 years of "free" life experience, and although he is curious about the ancient Shangyuan Festival, he is not too enthusiastic.

Xie Ningge is used to going south and north to "wild", and it doesn't matter if he passes or not.

As for Xiao Zhen...... Since she could climb over the wall, she has been out for a walk, and she doesn't pay attention to it.

Unlike the lack of interest of these three people, Zuo Miaoyu has been widowed since the death of Aunt Sun, and he didn't mention his interest until this day, shouting that he wanted to go shopping at night to admire the moon and watch the lanterns.

Not only her, but even Zuo Xinran, who has always been pure-hearted, is also eager to try.

Only Zuo Shu, who moved back to the West Cross Courtyard after leaving Jiang Huai seriously, looked like she couldn't move.

Since she returned home, except for asking the old lady to say goodbye, she has locked herself in the courtyard gate for the rest of the time.

What is strange about Zuo Di is that Zuo Yunyun, who has always loved to join in the fun, is not a little excited, but looks preoccupied, and even avoids making contact with his eyes, as if he ...... Scared?

"Let's stand down after saluting, the old body is not comfortable, so there is no need to surround me." The old lady Zuo looked at the group of granddaughters surrounding her, and waved her hand weakly.

She has been very unhappy recently, thinking that the old lady is finally willing to teach Yuan'er in person, that is, she wants to inherit the family business.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Yuan was a stubborn character, and he refused to take over the affairs of the family at all, and bluntly said that he would be the next eldest uncle to take the exam to serve the court.

This stupid kid doesn't think about it, when Zuo Zhangheng was as old as him, he was already a well-known prodigy, and in terms of talent, he couldn't even beat the horse!

Seeing the tiredness on the old lady's face, the second lady on the left was no longer as careful to please as before, but said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Since my mother is not feeling well, it is better to rest earlier." The family banquet in the evening, the daughter-in-law will definitely take care of it, so you can relax. ”

Hearing the second daughter-in-law speak so hard, the old lady suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.

But his son is really not angry, and he has to count on this daughter-in-law to serve him carefully.

The more I think about it, the more anxious I become, and I feel that the year is not good, and everything is not going well.

"Wait," the second lady on the left was about to beckon the junior to withdraw, when she suddenly heard the old lady say:

"Recently, there have been a lot of things at home, and the old body is wondering if he hasn't gone to incense for too long to annoy the Bodhisattva. The second daughter-in-law, you Zhang Luo and lead this group of small people to Dongtai Temple to go to the pillar incense. ”

The second lady on the left was slightly stunned, and then said obediently: "Yes, the daughter-in-law can save it, so it will be arranged." ”

Zuo Di's heart suddenly burst: Dongtai Temple? Could it be the temple where Zuo Xiao was lost?
