Looking at Zhu Zhaodi like this, Zhu Xiao seemed to feel that the sorrow in the world was nothing in front of her, and no matter how deep the wound was, it would be healed.

"Big sister!" Zhu Xiao shouted.

Walked to Zhu Zhaodi and sat down opposite her, watching her embroidered flowers bloom richly.

"It's almost done!"

"Well, the length is relatively small, the embroidery is faster, what pattern do you want, I'll embroider it for you!" Zhu Zhaodi asked softly.

"Let me think about it, and I'll tell you when I'm done, I'll come here to discuss something with you!"

When Zhu Zhaodi heard this, she began to collect needles and threads.

Let Zhuye take the embroidery frame to the house, and the two sisters in the courtyard only said softly, "What's the matter?!" ”

"Uncle Long's entrusting person wants to marry you for his son, that is, Long Yurong!"

“……”

When Zhu Zhaodi heard this, her heart immediately panicked.

Raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Xiao in astonishment, "Dad agreed?" ”

"No, this matter was entrusted to the Pan family, and my aunt told my mother, my mother told me before, let me ask what you mean, you have seen Long Yurong, he is also the same age, and he reads well......" Zhu Zhu carefully looked at Zhu Zhaodi's expression.

Seeing that she was in a trance, she didn't have the slightest hint of shyness, and she knew in her heart that Zhu Zhaodi didn't like Long Yurong.

"Little ......" Zhu Zhaodi called softly.

"Huh?"

"Do you think he's good?"

"Long Yurong?"

Zhu Zhaodi nodded, her heart tightened.

If Xiaoxiao agrees, she may marry Long Yurong.

"From the perspective of a bystander, it's not bad, but this is your choice of husband, where do I say it's good or not, you have to think it's good and willing to marry, let's discuss how to behave, if you don't like it, I won't allow anyone to force you!"

Her attitude is here, no matter who it is, Zhu Zhaodi has to pay attention to it herself.

"Or do you already have someone you like in your heart?" Zhu Xiao asked.

Zhu Zhaodi hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhu Xiao's eyes.

Zhu Xiao immediately understood.

This is really someone who likes it.

But who?

There are only a few men she can see, and among these men, Chu Zhengrong is the best.

Chu Zhengrong......

"I ......," Zhu Zhaodi stopped talking.

“？” Although Zhu Xiao had guessed, he didn't break it.

"Eldest sister, whether you like it or get married, it's best to be happy with each other, the person you like, does he like you? If he also likes you, no matter what identity he is or what he has experienced, I will not object, of course, if he doesn't like you at all, and is just using you, then I will never agree! ”

didn't find out who this person was, but Zhu Zhaodi understood that Zhu Xiao had guessed it.

"Xiaoxiao, he may not like me, and he can't say that he can use it, after all, we haven't spoken a few times between us, and he hasn't asked me to do anything for him, but I still want to work hard, if I work hard, there is still no result, I will never think about him again, forget that he is married, and when the time comes, it will be Long Yurong, or others, I will live a good life!" Zhu Zhaodi whispered.

The first time I was tempted, although there was no result, it was difficult to calm down.

I still want to work hard.

"It's Chu Zhengrong!"

"Chu Zhengrong...... "It turns out that his name is Chu Zhengrong."

The iron bones are proud of the sky, and the frost and snow are unmoved.

Knowing his name from a small mouth, Zhu Zhaodi's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that him?" Zhu Xiao asked.

Zhu Zhaodi was silent.

If you don't deny it, you acquiesce in it.

"Eldest sister...... Zhu Xiao called out and sighed.

"This Chu Zhengrong, he is a talent, but his mind is too deep, do you know what happened to him in the capital?" Zhu Xiaodao.

"Xiaoxiao, you can talk to me!"

Zhu Xiao naturally wouldn't hide it from Zhu Zhaodi, and told Chu Zhengrong what happened in the capital one by one, "Ah Yang also said that he was able to return to Yuelin County under the pursuit of the Marquis of Jincheng, it can be seen that he is a capable person, such a person wants to use it, but how to use it, Ah Yang is still thinking about it, eldest sister, if you really want to marry such a person, you have to think about it, there will be gossip in the future, can you bear it?" What about him, can he bear it? ”

Zhu Zhaodi was silent.

She actually didn't think about it that much.

Fame or anything, she doesn't care.

When I first saw him, it was Ji Yueguangfeng, who would have thought that he had met so many in the capital.

She wanted to help him, and she wanted him to be safe, even if they didn't end up being able to form a pair, she still wanted him to be well.

After all, he was the first man she was tempted to.

"Xiaoxiao, you let me think about it!"

"Good!"

Zhu Zhaodi wants to think and choose, Zhu Xiao will not force her.

Whatever her final choice is, she supports it.

If she wants to marry Chu Zhengrong, she will also let her fulfill her wish, but this is a thorny road that is not so easy to walk, and it is difficult to be happy.

If Zhu Zhaodi gives up......

Let's talk about it!

Zhu Zhaodi took the initiative to post to Chu Xuerui for the first time, asking her to go to Zhuangzi to play.

Chu Xuerui held the post, slightly puzzled.

Since he was puzzled, he went to find his third brother.

Chu Zhengrong looked at the post sent by Zhu Hui, the handwriting was upright, graceful and gentle, just like the feeling that Zhu Zhaodi gave people, they were all gentle and smiling, and treated people kindly.

"Since you are not sure, ask her to come to the house to eat tea and enjoy the flowers first, and then discuss going to the Zhuangzi to play!" Chu Zhengrong whispered softly and handed the post to Chu Xuerui.

My mind was in a trance.

He thought of that day, Long Yurong saw Zhu Zhaodi's expression, and he was cautious when he was emotional, and he didn't dare to look at it more.

For no reason, I felt a little irritable.

Only he has encountered a lot, how can he be worthy of such a gentle woman, she is afraid that she doesn't know what happened to him in the capital, if she knows, she will definitely hide far away, but I wish I had never known him.

"Third brother......" Chu Xuerui called in a low voice.

"Huh?"

"If Zhao Di comes, do you want to see her, just meet her alone, I always feel that she suddenly invited me, don't have a deep meaning, you have to seize the opportunity, don't miss it, regret it in the future!" After Chu Xuerui finished speaking, she walked out of Chu Zhengrong's courtyard.

When I used to come to the third brother's yard, I always felt that the courtyard was full of books.

Now that he has come again, there is no longer the atmosphere he once had, only the depression of the courtyard and the anger and murderous intent suppressed in the third brother's heart.

They all think she's small and doesn't understand anything, but she actually understands everything.

Just like they think that Zhao Di is gentle, she has no backbone, but in fact, she is not, Zhao Di is a very resolute woman, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she will not shake the thoughts in her heart easily.

If the third brother doesn't seize the opportunity this time, he may really lose a girl who loves him.

She didn't believe it, Zhu Zhaodi didn't know what happened to the third brother in the capital, after all, it was extremely convenient for her sister Zhu Xiao to know anything, just ask, and someone would tell her everything.

Zhu Zhaodi must have known what happened to the third brother in the capital, she did not dislike or hesitate, and even bravely wanted to do the last struggle and struggle, if the third brother missed it, she would really miss it forever......

Faced with Chu Xuerui's invitation, Zhu Zhaodi happily went to the appointment.

This time, she dressed herself very seriously, wearing the clothes she thought were the best-looking, the best accessories, simple but rich, unassuming but just right.

She didn't take Zhu Hua'er with her, so she went to Chu's house alone.

She thought a lot along the way, but when she really arrived at the Chu family, when she saw Chu Xuerui, Zhu Zhaodi realized that it was useless to think too much.

"Xue Rui, I want to meet your third brother!" Zhu Zhaodi got straight to the point.

Chu Xuerui was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "I'll help you arrange it!" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Zhaodi waited in the house alone, and Chu Xuerui went out quickly.

When she went, Chu Zhengrong was practicing calligraphy, but he couldn't even read the words.

"Third brother, Zhao Di is here, she said she wants to see you!"

"......" Chu Zhengrong raised his eyes and looked at Chu Xuerui in astonishment, "What did you say?" ”

"Zhao Di is here, she said she wants to see you, you prepare, I'll bring her over in a while, third brother, remember to take the initiative!" After Chu Xuerui finished speaking, she also shook her fist at Chu Zhengrong, hoping that he would come on.

Strive for your own happiness.

No matter what happened, it was not his own will, and since it was not, he naturally had the right to be happy.

Chu Xuerui took Zhu Zhaodi to the outside of Chu Zhengrong's courtyard, and she left.

Zhu Zhaodi asked Zhuye to wait outside, and she went in alone.

When I was at the door, I saw Chu Zhengrong standing in the courtyard.

Zhu Zhaodi took a deep breath.

Start by crossing the threshold, take three steps, and stop once.

Take three steps, stop once, take three more steps, and your heart will be cold.

If a love is ten steps, she takes nine steps, and the last step is completely unnecessary to take again.

Self-esteem is not allowed.

Moreover, a man who refuses to even take the last step towards you, how can he afford to say that he likes and loves.

From her appearance to the present, Chu Zhengrong has not taken the slightest initiative, and his face is still unfazed, without the slightest joy.

Zhu Zhaodi suddenly smiled gently, "Young Master Chu! ”

"Miss Zhu!" Chu Zhengrong called in a low voice.

“……”

Zhu Zhaodi looked at him.

Silently counting in my heart, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine......"

He still didn't say anything.

Zhu Zhaodi suddenly understood, "Young Master Chu, it's me who is abrupt!" ”

She shouldn't have come rashly, and she shouldn't have thought too highly of herself.

Slightly blessed, he turned around and walked outside.

Chu Zhengrong raised his hand, wanting to keep it, but he stopped talking, and finally put down his hand.

The steps taken have also been retracted.

Zhu Zhaodi walked out of the courtyard, and Chu Xuerui saw that her face was pale, "Zhaodi, did my third brother bully you?" ”

Zhu Zhaodi shook her head.

From beginning to end, Chu Zhengrong didn't say anything, let alone bully.

"Xue Rui, I'll go back first, I'm afraid I can't go with you when I go to Zhuangzi, I'm really sorry!"

"Zhaodi ......"

Zhu Zhaodi shook her head, signaling that Chu Zhengrong didn't have to say anything, stretched out her hand towards Zhuye, asked Zhuye to hold on to herself, and left slowly.

Chu Xuerui stomped her foot.

glanced into the courtyard and went to chase Zhu Zhaodi.

By the time she got to the door, the carriage had already left.

"Alas!"

Chu Xuerui sighed.

Zhu Zhaodi didn't cry, she didn't make trouble, she was still embroidering as always, and she didn't think about Chu Zhengrong in her heart.

I also understand that sometimes, loving and living are two different things.

She didn't know that Chu Zhengrong was talking about it outside, saying that he was lying under the powerful in the capital, and he had a nose and eyes, as if he had been seen in person.

used to be a famous talent in Yuelin County, but now he is talked about, and he is all regretful and emotional.

Some people also retorted, saying that if he wanted to lie under the powerful, why he was locked up in a prison cell, he must have sworn to die, and the powerful people locked him up in order to sharpen his spirit.

It's just that Long Yurong stood up to argue for him, but when he faced a group of people alone, how could he be an opponent, he said several times that his face was red and his ears were red, and his mouth was foaming, and he was about to do it with others.

After being besieged again, Long Yu stomped his feet in glory, "You, you ......, you really read the sage book in vain!" ”

In the past, Chu Zhengrong's moonlight wind overwhelmed them and made them unable to turn over, but now that they have the opportunity to step on Chu Zhengrong, who would let go of such an opportunity.

"Villain, villain!" Long Yurong roared.

Pushing away the person who grabbed him, "I don't want to be with you!" ”

It's disgusting to be friends with someone like that.

Out of the restaurant, the anger in Long Yurong's heart was still difficult to calm.

Chu Zhengrong is better than him everywhere, and he naturally takes it as his responsibility to chase his pace, but if he is talked about like this, he is worried about Chu Zhengrong.

wanted to go to Chu Zhengrong for verification, but the Chu family said that Chu Zhengrong was not at home and went far away.

Now that the Chu family is also closed, they will not see outsiders in their leisure, how could they have thought that such a thing happened to Chu Zhengrong in the capital, and what support did such a proud person rely on?

Chu Xuerui felt sorry for her third brother, and her crying eyes were swollen.

Since then, I'm afraid that no girl will be willing to marry the third brother.

Originally, there was a Zhao Di, but Zhao Di has never gone out since that time, I don't know if she knows what is going on outside? If she finds out, is she still willing to continue to like her third brother?

Zhu Zhaodi knew all this, and she also knew that this was the news that Chu Zhengrong had let people out, to see what would happen to her when she knew, and to let him completely abandon this burden.

She knew he was gone, because he had come to see her when he left.

Still didn't say anything, just stood face to face, looking at each other without words.

But it seems that a thousand words are already in the silence.

She thought that he hoped that someone was waiting for him, waiting for him to come out of the swamp, and that she would find her own happiness as soon as possible.

Zhu Zhaodi understands.

So she thought, she could wait another two years.

After all, in life, it is rare to like someone, and this liking is not unrequited love.

He also has her in his heart, maybe not as much as she can, but more or less, from the time he left, to see her.

Zhu Xiao came over with food and put it in front of Zhu Zhaodi, "Sister, eat something!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Zhaodi nodded.

Took a small bite and ate it.

"What, still thinking about him?"

"Hmm!" Zhu Zhaodi bowed slightly, thought about it and said, "I made a purse, can you help me transfer it to him?" ”

"Okay!" Zhu Xiao responded.

Some feelings are not true love when they are spoken.

Chu Zhengrong also struggled for a long time, Zhu Zhaodi had been to the Chu family that day, how could a smart person like him not understand why Zhu Zhaodi went, he shook out what happened to him the next day, and when he left, he still wanted to see Zhu Zhaodi, just to see what her expression was, if she was full of disgust, he could also leave completely, and no longer worry.

But she still looked at him so gently like water, and the affection in her eyes gradually intensified, no longer suppressed and restrained.

looked at each other without words, but they promised each other a lifetime.

He went to try, and she waited here.

One day, when we say goodbye, he is Chu Zhengrong who is reborn from the ashes, and she is Zhu Zhaodi, who is still beautiful and gentle......

------Off topic------

Zhao Di and Chu Zhengrong are both introverted people for their feelings,

Your eldest brother-in-law has finally settled down
