Xu was depressed for a long time during the day, and when it came to the night, a heavy rain fell without warning, and the sound of crackling was like a god knocking over a dustpan of beans. A little coolness and moisture came out of the moist earth, like a boiling swamp, gurgling and bubbling.

Song Zhi opened her eyes suddenly, she had just struggled out of a nightmare, a sudden rain of arrows helped her escape from the pursuit, a group of people wearing strange pig masks, I don't know why, had to kill her.

I knew I wouldn't look at the monsters found at the bookstalls. Song Zhi thought a little weakly, she groped her way up in the dark, carefully not making a sound, for fear of waking up the maids.

There is also a compartment in the room of Tianzihao, and the three maids rested in the compartment, and before going to bed, they heard the three of them lower their voices and talk about themselves, and as they spoke, there was a soft laughter in the compartment, light like a sweet wind, and it quickly dissipated.

Just now, Song Zhi fell asleep listening to this laughter.

Moon by month, a faintly lit oil lamp was left on the table, and it was covered with a glass cover, so as not to give Song Zhi orders in the middle of the night, and they would inevitably bump into each other when they were touching the dark in this unfamiliar place.

Song Zhi found a few agarwood sticks and came out, ready to light them to remove moisture, the three scarlet dots were like the three eyes of a giant beast lurking in the shadows, Song Zhi looked at the few faint wisps of smoke.

"Miss Song?" The puzzled voice of the water chestnut floated out from the corner of the darkness, and Song Zhi turned around in some surprise. I saw that the water chestnut was wearing a milky white underwear, rubbing his eyes, and looking sleepy. "Why don't you shout when you have any orders? Why get up on your own? ”

Song Zhi dared to say that the sound she made was lighter than that of Edelweiss walking, and she didn't know how to make the water chestnut aware of it, she smiled, this smile was lighter than smoke, and said: "I can't sleep left and right, why bother with your dreams?" ”

Lingjiao only knew that this Miss Song was the concubine of the Zhenxi General's Mansion, the fiancée of the prince, and she was always a powerful lady who grew up with thousands of pets, but she never had such a considerate side.

"Does Miss have something on your mind?" The water chestnut sat down on the edge of the table, holding her cheeks with her hands, and looked at Song Zhi with a gentle face, her eyes were warm and moist, like a puppy.

Song Zhi's eyes fell on the face of the water chestnut, as if she was a little confused, she blinked, revealing a somewhat hesitant smile, "It's not about anything, it's just that I'm disturbed by nightmares, and it's hard to fall asleep." ”

When water chestnut rarely had nightmares, it was difficult to understand what Song Zhi had just said, but it reminded her of the scene when her sister coaxed her to sleep when she was a child, so she had the idea of concocting it in the same way, and said, "Does the young lady want to hear the story?" ”

When Song Zhi heard this, he really smiled, revealing a few teeth. "What? You're still going to tell stories to lull me to sleep? ”

"Why not?" The water chestnut helped Song Zhi up familiarly, led her to the bed, and covered the quilt for her without saying anything.

He moved a small pestle to sit on the edge of the bed, and said to Song Zhi: "I'll tell Miss the story of the prince when he was a child." I listened to the upstairs, ah, no, I heard a lot from the mothers in the house. ”

The sound of the rain outside became more and more urgent, and the house seemed quieter and quieter.

Song Zhi closed her eyes, and the words of the water chestnut slowly flowed into her ears.

"Mom said that when he was a child, he was not as temperamental as he is now, but he was very naughty! He doesn't like to be controlled, so he often throws off his entourage and sneaks out to play. ”

Listening to the water chestnut say this, Song Zhi didn't think it was strange, Shen Baiyan was young and sluggish, and his temperament changed greatly.

"Once, in order to have a good time, the prince changed his clothes and went out to the market, and then he didn't know how, he ran to play with other people's chickens and ducks, and was discovered by the people of that family, and chased the prince all the way with a stick, and chased him straight to the gate of the palace."

Song Zhi couldn't help laughing, so that she couldn't imagine that Shen Baiyan still had such a time to chase cats and dogs to make people suspicious.

"Later, the prince found out, punished the prince for kneeling in the ancestral hall all night, and led him to apologize to the farmer the next day."

"Isn't Lord Shen lenient?" Song Zhi turned over slightly and asked in a low voice.

"The prince is naturally like this to the people under him, but ......

Water chestnut's words were interrupted by a strange movement on the roof, and she raised her head alertly, like Edelweiss when she was frightened.

"What's wrong?" Song Zhi saw that the water chestnut had a cold face, but it didn't match her childish appearance, like a little adult.

The water chestnut quickly smiled and said, "Xu is rain has made the tiles slippery. ”

Song Zhi buried half of her face in the quilt, only revealing a pair of charming eyes, she nodded and said, "But what?" ”

Water chestnut continued with what he had just said: "But the prince is very strict with the prince, and there is no room for mistakes. However, the princess is very indulgent in the temperament of the prince, and the two of them are typical strict fathers and mothers. ”

Song Zhi was silent in the dark, "When the prince and princess died, he must have been very sad." ”

The water chestnut thought for a while, hid a few words, and said: "Mom always avoids mentioning things during this time, they always like to mention those happy times, after the death of the prince and the princess, there will be no happy time for the prince." But......

The water chestnut paused, and bought a pass, until Song Zhi couldn't help but urge, "But what?" ”

"However, when the young lady and the prince get married, it will be time to be happy again." The water chestnut said with a grin.

Song Zhi seemed to have hoarded a sugar cube, which was just in his throat, and he feigned anger: "You ghost girl, why did you talk about my head, okay, you can go to sleep too." With that, he turned over lazily, and his head was covered with green silk like fine silk on the pillow.

The water chestnut answered, moved the pestle back to its original place, and stood on the side of Song Zhi's bed for a while, hearing her breathing gradually stabilize and then go to sleep in the compartment.

The rest of the night was uneventful.

"Miss, why did you get up and light incense by yourself yesterday." When I got up in the morning to clean up the ashes of the incense sticks, "I didn't call the slave or maid." ”

Song Zhi was wearing a blue lily pattern dark gauze vertical collar cardigan, and was raising his hand to ask Meteor to tie a pink belt for himself, and there was a row of dense golden bells on the belt, but there was no sound in it, so there would be no sound when he walked.

When she heard this, she said, "It's okay, I can't sleep, I just got up and lived." ”

"Does Miss like blue so much? The clothes are always blue. The water chestnut stood aside, tilting his head curiously.

"I like blue, but not all of my clothes are blue, which is a coincidence." Song Zhi put on his clothes, stood in front of the bronze mirror and turned around, looking carefully.

The water chestnut suddenly applauded and said, "Miss is so good-looking." ”

The moon and the meteor also know that Song Zhi is good-looking, but he is used to seeing it on weekdays, so naturally he is not as amazing as water chestnut.

Song Zhi pursed her lips and said a little embarrassedly, "What a stupid girl." ”

After all, Song Ling and Shen Baiyan still had business to do, so they still focused on hurrying during the day, and Song Zhi stayed in this carriage all day.

Song Zhi was reading a book in the car, and suddenly noticed something wrong, and when he turned his head, he saw a handful of blue-petaled astragalus chrysanthemums, and the tip of his nose rubbed against the petals, soft and soft touch.

Song Zhi looked along the curtain of the car that was lifted, and was half-covered by the brown curtain, only to see a handsome chin, and turned sideways, as if he didn't want Song Zhi to see the look on his face.

Song Zhi stretched out his hand to take Xiao Yeju, and heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage, and Shen Baiyan probably rode back to the front of the team.

Zhuyue and Meteor were embarrassed to talk or laugh, so they had to look at their noses and noses, and their faces were full of composure, pressing the corners of their mouths desperately.

Water chestnut also quietly looked at Song Zhi's expression, only to see her long eyelashes drooping, the tip of her nose touched the wild chrysanthemum, smelled it, and said with a smile: "There is no fragrance." ”

"The stamens of this wild chrysanthemum are exposed, and they are pollen transmitted by the wind, not by butterflies or bees, so there is no fragrance." The water chestnut answered, like a little girl running in the wilderness all day long, and she knew all the gadgets in the countryside.

Song Zhi nodded thoughtfully, she held the bouquet of wild chrysanthemums and looked back and forth, "This flower is quite elegant when you look closely." ”

"This kind of flower is easy to feed, as long as it grows one, it will grow into a piece, probably because it can be seen everywhere, so it is not expensive, and no one raises it." The words of the water chestnut casually have a bit of extraneous meaning.

Song Zhi picked a flower with buds to be released, and was about to put it into a landscape travelogue written by an unknown person that she had used to pass the time in the past few days, but she heard a mournful long horse roar.

Su Zheng pulled the reins of the horse suddenly, but he still braked in a hurry, and the four girls in the carriage squeezed together at once, everyone hurriedly protected Song Zhi, and the head of the month by month hit the four walls of the carriage fiercely, and the meteor's upper teeth broke the lower lip, and the mouth was full of fishy sweetness, but the water chestnut was quite stable, and the three of them were resisted in one go, so they didn't get dizzy.

Song Zhi was still in a daze, so he saw the water chestnut neatly open the curtain and said to Su Zheng: "What's wrong." ”

"Don't come out, protect Miss Song. The thieves threw long nails on the road, which is an old trick of robbing the road. Su Zheng's tone sounded a little anxious, but he was quite calm.

When Zhuyue and Meteor heard the word robbery, they were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they hurriedly hid Song Zhi behind them. "Don't be afraid, my brother and the prince are here." Song Zhi touched a leather ring that Song Ling gave her, her tone was quite calm, but her heart was still beating violently.
